Sharron Coffie, manager of the Heart and Vascular Service Line Program at Froedtert Memorial Hospital and President of the Milwaukee Chapter of the Black Nurses Association, receive a $1,000 check from Molina Healthcare of Wisconsin on July 23 toward the Brenda Dockery Scholarship Fund. Ms. Dockery (inset), who died last spring at age 60 from an extremely aggressive form of cancer, was a past president of the Milwaukee Chapter of the Black Nurses Association. She was also served as a nurse practitioner at Milwaukee Health Services, Inc., a federally qualified health clinic located at 2555 N. Martin Luther King Drive for five years. One of Ms. Dockery’s professors, who later worked with her to encourage low-income women to get breast cancer screenings, described Ms. Dockery in an obituary in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as “accomplished, committed and passionate.” Presenting the check to Ms. Coffie on behalf of File Photo Molina Healthcare of Wisconsin are (from left) Babette Honore, associate vice president of community engagement and Kelly Macon, manager for provider services.

The Open Door Christian Worship Center Church hosted their Daughters for the King Cotillion on Friday, July 24, 2015. Their purpose is to empower the participants to work toward their dreams; to love and appreciate everything about themselves; to value life and that change only comes through the belief in oneself; to understand and know the purpose of their creation and Creator; to value family and education; how to handle difficult situations; and to use their gift and talents in the proper way. The founder/event coordinator, Apostle Michele Lock, along with her team look forward to a greater event in 2016!

The first place winner for ages 5-11 was Miss Lyric Hines and the first place winner for ages 12-16 was Miss Cynthia Lock. The Miss Congeniality Award went to Miss Chakevia Grays. Congratulations to all of the 2015 Debutantes!!!

Panelists praised the work on the new arena financing package negotiated by the City of Milwaukee during a Legislative Town Hall Meeting organized by state Senator Lena Taylor on July 23 at Greater New Birth Church, 8237 W. Silver Spring Rd. Supervisor Michael Mayo praised the negotiating team from the city while criticizing the county negotiating team which he said consisted largely of one person. He did not mention Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele by name. “They got something back for the city of Milwaukee,” Supervisor Mayo said. “We’ve got a $10 million piece of property that we are just giving away. We are not getting nothing… a dollar… and that revenue will go toward transportation."

Local & National News

Bobbi Kristina Brown dead at 22 Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died on Sunday, July 26, 2015, more than five months after being found unresponsive in her Roswell, GA home. She was 22 years old.

"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away Sunday, July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months," a statement from the Houston family said.

Brown, an aspiring actress and singer, was found in her bathtub by a friend, Max Lomas, and her partner Nick Gordon on Jan. 31 and taken to a local hospital, according to police. Sources later told ABC News that she was moved to the Neurology Intensive Care Unit of Emory University Hospital a few days later, and then to a rehab facility in late March.

In late June, her aunt Pat Houston said Brown was moved to hospice care after her condition worsened.

"Despite the great medi-

Bobbi Kristina Brown cal care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has continued to deteriorate. ... She has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God's hands now," she said in a statement.

Brown was discovered almost exactly three years after her mother was found unresponsive in a tub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. Houston died on Feb. 11, 2012 at the age of 48.

Bobby Brown and Pat Houston were granted joint guardianship of Bobbi Kris-

tina in May, while she remained in rehab care. Around that time, Bobbi Kristina's grandmother Cissy Houston said that her granddaughter remained "unresponsive."

"I have just returned from visiting my granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the hospital and while she is no longer in a medically induced coma, she has a tracheotomy and according to the doctors she has global and irreversible brain damage," she told People magazine in April.

Brown, who starred in the 2012 reality show "The Houstons: On Our Own"

following her mother's death, had been very vocal about her career aspirations and her desire to follow in Houston's footsteps. Brown also appeared on another reality show, "Being Bobby Brown" in 2005 and received an acting credit for a role on the show "For Better or Worse" in 2012.

"Let's start this career up&&moving OUT to TO YOU ALLLL quick shall we !?!???!" she tweeted back in January.

Also, last March, Brown tweeted to her more than 140,000 fans on Twitter that she has a voice just like Houston's. "Think about it..

She had 1babygirl, lungs and a GORGEOUS unforgettable voice .. Who do you think ONLY has HER vocal chords.. ?" she posted.

Brown was also in the spotlight for her personal life. In early 2013, she tweeted that she had married Gordon, a young man whom Houston had taken in years before.

Brown fired back at those who criticized her relationship.

But despite her claims of marriage, a lawyer for

Brown's father said, "Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon."

After Brown was born on March 4, 1993 in Livingston, NJ, her mother gushed to Barbara Walters about how life had changed. "[I'm] married with a baby and happy," she told Walters. "Content ... I have no complaints, I am blessed ... I found out what I want and I got it. Well, I've got a great man, got a beautiful baby girl. I have honesty in my marriage and love in my home."

After Houston died, Brown opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the loss.

"I'm doing as good as I possibly can. Just trying to keep going," she said. "I can hear her voice and her spirit talking to me telling me keep moving, baby. I can always feel her with me," she said.

"She humbles me. I remember what she told me, I remember what she taught me. ... She was a sister, a comforter. The spirit that she had -- no matter where she was ... she touched everyone."

Legendary black educator John S. Davis, Jr. dies John S. Davis, Jr., former Robert T. Fulton Junior High School principal, passed on Sunday, July 19 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 90 years old.

Davis was born to educators John and Lillian Davis on December 14, 1924 in Patterson, LA; he and his siblings witnessed dedication to educational excellence. He began his learning through his parents, the Louisiana educational system followed by earning a bachelor of science degree in elementary education at Grambling State University (former Grambling Negro Normal College).

Upon graduation, he taught history, science and biology at the high school in Homer, LA. Soon after, he met and married the love of his life Dorothy Walker.

Davis attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where he received his master of science degree in Administration. His life journey led him to Milwaukee where he became a sixth grade teacher at Garfield Elementary School for 13 years before Central Office offered him the position of Supervisor of Federal Projects for the Milwaukee Public School

John III, Patricia WilliamsFrance, Sharon (Gregory) Patterson, all of Milwaukee, WI; five grandchildren, Norris Williams, Jr., Nia ( David) Harris, Mallory Davis, all of Milwaukee, WI; four greatgrandchildren, all of Milwau-

John S. Davis, Jr. System (MPS). After holding that position for two years, the social unrest of the 60’s required his return to a more hands-on participation in the MPS school district. He was appointed to Palmer elementary School in 1967 where he served as the second African American principal in Milwaukee.

Shortly after arriving at Palmer, he was reassigned to Robert Fulton Junior High School where he had a stellar career that spanned from 1968 to 1984.

Davis was a faithful member of the Canaan Baptist Church in Milwaukee, WI for 49 years before moving to Louisiana in 2005. While living there, he served as deacon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Homer, LA from 2005 until his health failed in 2014. At that time, Davis returned to Milwaukee to be closer to his family and united with a new church. His new pastor, Rev. Dr. Archie

Ivy from the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church was a former Fulton teacher. Ivy stated, “Mr. Davis was a great leader and administrator. He had an excellent relationship with his students and faculty”. He further shared, “Mr. Davis was very professional.

I watched him and learned how to be a principal.” Ivy later became the principal of North Division High School.

Davis was very active in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

He also served his country with honor and distinction in World War II as a United States Marine.

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 57 years, Dorothy; his parents, John and Lillian Davis; his brothers Frank, Clarence and Winfred Davis; sister Leonez Davis; and mother-in-law Lizzie Blackmon.

His memory will forever be cherished by his family, including his children,

Rebuilding Our Community

3

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times

When peace matters I know that “World Peace Day” is officially observed a few months from now, but we need help today. The widespread of senseless gun violence and drug use throughout our country are just signals that many aspects of our society are out of balance and things are going wrong for so many. This issue and more are fueling the growing level of mistrust in public officials, law enforcement and policy makers. In so many ways concerned citizens are getting fed up with the “business as usual” attitudes and approaches to solving the problems of the community.

The rapid increase in gun violence and drug use is also

fueling the charge in more shootings, more deaths and a greater concern for public safety and awareness. In many ways these are indicators that something has to give and things need to change for the better. Of course, that too is also a problem! What those changes should be and who is making the suggestions also draws suspicion. For many cannot envision a transparent effort and impact when those affected are not invited to the table where decisions are made and policies are written.

Obtaining peace is a tough sell... it is easy to talk about, but it is hard to put into action. Finding ways to de-

escalate situations, conflicts and personal grudges is quite an undertaking and takes considerable skill, training and patience. Additionally, trying to find ways to limit the access to guns and drugs is also an uphill battle, both legally and underground. In addition, these enterprises are “big business,” regardless

of the times.

In order for peace to be a selling point of a good society and finding solutions to make things better, there has to be a better understanding of what peace is all about.

This process must involve people from various socioeconomic levels of our society and not those just on top. The dialog must be real, where people's voices are heard and ideas are valued.

Peace is not just a nice topic to talk on, but can become a reality if we are committed to the process of accepting others and what they bring to the table. What do you think?

Keep whipping those horses I once saw a funny picture on a blog of a man standing over a dead horse hitting it with a stick. The meaning was simple; he was beating the metaphorical dead horse. It was tied to a debate that was going on over a pro athlete. I hate to be the one standing over these horses with whips but the situation is dire. We have to get some more rides out of Silver.

“Violence once again rears its head in the African American community…” How many times have you heard similar words lead off a news story over the last decade?

If it’s not domestic violence, it’s gang or gun related. Violence has plagued the inner city for decades. The inner city translates to the African American community around the USA. Violence is

a manifestation of a sickness.

African Americans need to acknowledge the causes and one is self-hate.

I can hear African Americans yelling about how they love themselves and yawn.

Talk about a dead horse. African Americans do not like themselves and because of this they can’t like one another. How so you say? If African Americans loved themselves why would they strive so hard to be something they're not?

African Americans have longed for hundreds of years to be apart of an ideal that never was for them. The American Dream was, and is, vanilla not chocolate. If you look at the Caucasian people who have it they aren’t happy.

A person who doesn’t love themselves cannot love or care for another. Let’s look at the ease with which one African American kills another. You have heard about the murders over people stepping on or stealing shoes from the past. One of the craziest reasons for murder in the 2015 African American community involved

a pick up basketball game.

People who love themselves would care about their future before performing such an act.

African American self hate has transformed into a music genre that glorifies murder.

Since 1988 violent lyrics have become so prevalent the African American conscious mind doesn’t even think about them. I find myself singing Mind of a Lunatic occasionally. No way, no how could a race of people who loved themselves create a billion dollar industry talking about their extinction.

Many will blame society.

Society has had a major role to play in the planting and development of African American self hate. But it is time for African Americans to admit their problem is self-generated. It is true the scheme was laid out by the founding fathers but African Americans are continuing it. African Americans keep the gun to their own heads.

African American actions allow others to come into their community to kill and exploit them.

The problem and solution is you, African American.

Of all races you were given more than any other and look what you’ve done with it. Even in Africa the people have squandered their gifts in pursuit of goals that have driven the people insane.

Until African Americans can look at the image in the mirror and truly love it gun violence will be the least of their worries.

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

The blessing of patiently waiting on God (Week 1) In recent travels, this writer surveyed men and women as to the one lesson they learned when they waited on God. Their responses were: I learned that God rewards those who seek Him diligently. ***

• At other times, God uses the waiting season to teach us discipline, patience and to build our trust in Him. Once a situation is in the hands of God; waiting shows trust in God that God will do what God needs to do when God is ready to do it.

This month, this writer will examine the issue of “waiting patiently on God.” Four observations will be made: (1) What To Do While You Are Waiting - Week 2 (2) Why God Makes Us Wait – Week 3 (3) How Waiting Forces Us to Look to God – Week 4

Evers urges families and communities to keep stepping up for public education

MATC recognizes YouthBuild Program participants

2015-17 budget does not reflect public priorities for public schools State Superintendent Tony Evers issued a statement related to the governor signing the 2015-17 executive budget into law.

“In the last four state budgets, our public schools have taken a back seat to other priorities. As overall state spending has increased, our commitment to public schools has not kept pace. That trend has caused Wisconsin to fall almost below the national average in expenditures per student. Our most vulnerable populations, students with disabilities, those learning English, and students in poverty, have seen their support from the state flat‑lined as costs have increased. We are at a tipping point where communities that can afford to intervene on behalf of kids do. But those who cannot are left with a legacy of less. This runs counter to the system of public schools our

State Superintendent Tony Evers state’s founders enshrined in the Wisconsin Constitution.

“Funding problems are being exacerbated by the constant policy changes from Madison. Each session, we move the goal posts in regards to what we expect from our schools and educators, setting them up for failure. This is taking its toll on the profession. We are seeing fewer teachers-in-training stepping up to fill vacancies,

and the educators left are being asked to do more with less. That is not fair.

“We have much to be proud of in our public schools. Wisconsin is a national leader in graduation rates and achievement on Advanced Placement exams.

A debt of gratitude is owed to the educators who have worked through less than ideal conditions on behalf of our kids and the future of Wisconsin.

“Across the state, families and communities have stepped up to protect public schools. While this budget did not deliver anything close to what they asked, the momentum they have built is tangible and must remain.

The future depends on parents’ and communities’ ability to stay engaged and win legislative support to keep our public schools strong with needed investments.”

Six students who have successfully completed MATC's YouthBuild program were recognized July 23. These were the first students to complete the program that was launched earlier this year after the college received a U.S. Department of Labor grant to fund the program.

Spotted Eagle, Journey House, KPH Construction and Habitat for Humanity are program partners.

During the program, students learned construction skills including using hand and power tools, completed a mini house project, obtained certification in OSHA and first aid and started GED coursework.

"The students who have completed this program have benefited from the instruction and ability to get hands-on experience," said

Mona Schroeder-Beers, YouthBuild director for MATC. "They have built a strong foundation for future educational opportunities and career growth."

YouthBuild is a national non-residential, community-based alternative education program that provides classroom instruction and occupational skills training to youth ages 16 to 24 who have been in the juvenile justice system, are aging out of foster care, have dropped out of high school or are otherwise at-risk of failing to reach key educational and career milestones.

MATC is currently accepting students for a new YouthBuild cohort. For information, contact Eric Eiffert at 414-302-2649 or efferte@matc.edu

Knowing the cause of pneumonia is critical for older adults

Your laptop on your lap: Not a good combination

Viruses cause more pneumonia-related hospitalizations among American adults than bacteria, although the cause of the lung infection is undetected in most cases, a new federal study says.

The findings show the need for improved diagnostic tests, according to Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which conducted the study.

“Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization and death among adults in the United States and in 2011 the medical costs exceeded $10 billion,” he said in a CDC news release.

“Most of the time doctors are unable to pinpoint a specific cause of pneumonia.

We urgently need more sensitive, rapid tests to identify causes of pneumonia and to promote better treatment,” Frieden said.

CDC researchers looked at more than 2,300 adults, whose median age was 57.

All were treated for pneumonia at three hospitals in Chicago and two hospitals in Nashville between January 2010 and June 2012.

Viruses were detected in 27 percent of the patients and bacteria in 14 percent of the patients, the study found.

Human rhinovirus (HRV) was the most commonly detected virus. Influenza was the second most common

Nowadays, we work just about anywhere. From a corner table in Starbucks, to a big office on Main Street.

More and more people are working from home or wherever and thus use their portable laptops any kind of way.

But actually putting them on your lap could do some damage.

The prolonged placement of laptop on the thighs results in the thermal build of around 44 degrees of heat to which the skin responds by developing persistent redness and pigmentation. This has been reported in medical literature between 2004 to date.

“The skin develops a patch which is mottled (caused by local hemostasis — stagnation of blood) and later becomes reticulated erythema (patchy striped erythema) leaving behind pigmentation,” says Cosmeto-dermatologist Dr Swati Srivastava.

He also warns that repeated skin exposure can waste tissues, typically due to the degeneration of cells. If there is a persistent soreness that does not heal, a skin biopsy should be performed to rule out the possibility of skin cancer.

The heat emitted from the portable computers has been cited to have a similar effect on men as taking hot baths.

News sources advise young boys and men of child rear-

type of virus, the researchers said.

Influenza was the cause of pneumonia in twice as many patients 80 and older than any other type of virus except HRV, the study revealed. This finding highlights the need for increased flu vaccine use and effectiveness in this age group, the researchers said.

Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common type of bacteria found in patients. It caused five times more pneumonia hospitalizations among adults 65 and older than in younger adults, the researchers noted.

S. pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae bacteria were common among severely ill patients, and were detected in 16 percent of intensive care unit patients, compared with 6 percent of non-ICU patients, the study found.

Results of the study were published July 14 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The study’s lead author, Dr. Seema Jain, a medical epidemiologist in the CDC’s Influenza Division, said the study found more viruses in people with pneumonia than expected. Jain said better testing may be one reason why. Vaccines for bacterial causes of pneumonia may be another reason, Jain suggested in the news release.

“However, what’s most remarkable is that despite how hard we looked for pathogens (germs), no discernible pathogen was detected in 62 percent of adults hospitalized with pneumonia in the … study. This illustrates the need for more sensitive diagnostic methods that can both help guide treatment at the individual level as well as inform public health policy for adult pneumonia at a population level,” Jain said.

ing age to abstain from or closely monitor the amount of time they spend with a laptop sitting on the lap.

Putting a laptop on your lap is not only bad for your skin, but it’s also bad for your computer because it can partially or completely inhibit the exhaust fan, which can lead to overheating.

Women are not exempt from the negative effects of putting a computer on the lap. Other articles talk about a condition known as… toasted leg syndrome. Toasted legs syndrome is an and usual looking skin condition where the skin on the legs look molted and discolored.

The skin turns an unattractive brown color. According to researchers at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland, a laptop computer causes dermatosis, which is a permanent skin tan. Although rare, in some cases sitting a laptop on your lap for long periods of time can cause skin cancer.

THE

Art & Entertainment

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“Something Must Be Done about Prince Edward County” by Kristen Green The color pencils are sharp, lined up like fence posts in their unscuffed box.

So are the crayons, the pens all wear caps, and notebook covers are free of doodling. The backpack seems as though it’s been starched, but give it a month: after your child goes back to school, it’ll be a different story – one unlike that in the new book “Something Must Be Done about Prince Edward County” by Kristen Green.

Not until she went away to college did Kristen Green ever think about how she was raised.

Hers was a relatively privileged upbringing: as white children, she and her brothers spent summers eating ice cream, riding bikes, sitting on the porch of their home in Farmville, Virginia, and visiting their grandparents, who lived just down the block.

They attended a private school (their parents’ alma mater), and they enjoyed the labors of a housekeeper who came ever Wednesday to clean.

That housekeeper, Elsie

Lancaster, whom Green considered as “part of our family,” was the first black person Green ever knew – or, at least figured she did.

But she really didn’t think about it until after college, after she’d gotten a job as a reporter focusing on poverty and race issues, after she’d married a Native American man, and after she realized how much her grandmother disapproved of her mixed-race marriage. Mixedrace great-grandchildren would’ve greatly upset Mimi but nobody in the family would discuss it, so Green became determined to find out why.

Before Brown vs. the Board of Education, Farmville schools were segregated – separate, but unequal. The white school boasted amenities; the black school was overcrowded and underfunded.

The Supreme Court’s decision set Farmville’s white residents back on their heels, vowing that desegregation was never going to happen in their town; separation, they said, was “just the way things

c.2015, Harper $25.99 / $31.99 Canada 321 pages were.” So when the Supreme Court pressed the issue years after Brown v. Board, white residents closed the county’s schools, greatly harming poor whites, black families, and black students.

And Green’s beloved grandfather – a man she adored – helped it happen…

As I was reading “Something Must Be Done about Prince Edward County,” I have to admit that I was a

Movie Time bit baffled. Author Kristen Green admits that she “came to the story from a place of privilege.” So what about it?

Plenty, as it turns out.

Although she says that the town’s elders seem to want this historical event to disappear, Green doesn’t let that happen: she digs and digs, uncovering the whole of an outrageous story that would be front-page news these days. She even finds some of the kids-now-adults that were most affected by school closures, then she throws readers a bone of goodness amid the shame. Finally, although in this case what’s done can’t be undone, Green shows that amend-making has to start somewhere.

Sharp-eyed readers may notice some resemblance to The Help here, but “Something Must Be Done about Prince Edward County” is no novel. Nope, this is a feat of journalistic reporting with a personal twist, and it’s pretty sharp.

Laptop (Continued from pg. 12) Treatment and remedies First of all, identification of the root cause, i.e., the source of the heat, needs to be identified. If it is excess duration of laptop usage, it should be cut down. Also, direct contact of the laptop and the skin should be avoided by placing a barrier in between. Many online retailers have laptop coolers available.

The skin change, if detected early and is mild in nature, can settle on its own without treatment. For persistent redness, anti-inflammatory creams can be used.

For pigmentary changes, addition of topical tretinoin (a drug related to retinol or vitamin A) cream may be mandatory. In some cases, one may require laser therapy.
