Kohl’s donates $3 million to the American Cancer Society

Donation will expand partnership with new program to support families impacted by cancer Kohl’s Department Stores announced the donation of $3 million over three years to the American Cancer Society to continue Kohl’s support of the fight against breast cancer. The donation will also launch the brand-new Kohl’s Healthy Families program in southeast Wisconsin, dedicated to providing information and resources on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer through three core components – helping families stay well, get well and fight back.

“Kohl’s is proud to expand our partnership with the American Cancer Society from our focus on breast cancer to all cancer, offering critical support to local families,” said Bevin Bailis, Kohl’s senior vice president

of communications and public relations.

“We know a cancer diagnosis affects an entire family and is difficult for patients and their loved ones. The new Kohl’s Healthy Families program ensures everyone has the information, resources and programs they need to fight back against the disease.”

The donation will fund the following elements of the new Kohl’s Healthy Families program: Stay Well – Families will have access to lifesaving educational tools to help them stay well through prevention and early detection of cancer. Initiatives will also offer resources to schools to implement a structured curric-

ulum focused on healthy eating and physical activity, as well as help create wellness policies through the completion of a needs assessment and development of an action plan to bring wellness changes to area schools.

Get Well – Patients will receive support after a breast cancer diagnosis by working directly with medical professionals to design and participate in customized nutrition and physical activity programs to meet each patient’s specific health needs and goals. Additionally, patients and their loved ones will find

comfort in educational materials catered to understanding and coping with any cancer diagnosis.

Fight Back – The community will unite together and fight back against cancer through a variety of community outreach efforts, including Kohl’s sponsorship of Relay For Life, Relay Recess and Relay Field Day events throughout southeast Wisconsin.

Additionally, the donation will continue Kohl’s annual support of the Community Health Workers Conference and Kohl’s role as the presenting sponsor of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Milwaukee walk.

“A substantial number of

cancer deaths could be prevented by making healthy choices like eating well and being active. Through the new Kohl’s Healthy Families program, we’ll be able to offer tips, tools and other resources to help families in southeast Wisconsin live healthy and lower their risk of cancer,” said Marie Daly, American Cancer Society’s Midwest Division, vice president of community engagement. “The American Cancer Society’s continued partnership with Kohl’s meets a need in our community and provides critical support for the fight against cancer.”

Youth call on Milwaukeeans to take a pledge for non-violence

The Youth Leadership Committee of the Hillside TALK (Take Action, Listen & Know) Campaign hosted a “Non-Violence Pledge” ceremony July 30 in front of the Hillside Family Resource Center at 1452 N. 7th Street.

The youth joined other speakers in calling for all members of the Milwaukee community to take a pledge that they will use non-violent means to resolve conflict.

Attendees were invited to sign a personal pledge and place it in a time capsule that was buried on site to be reopened in 5 years. The time capsule represents each person’s commitment to non-violence over time.

Speakers included Mayor Tom Barrett; Ms. Betty Benson, who spoke about the loss of her son Eric to violence two years ago; Dr. Mallory O’Brien of the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission; youth leaders Abena May, Sariyah Banks, Antwonnay Strowder, Joy

Board overrides County Executive vetoes, $1 dollar land sale for new arena removed from agenda

By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times

defeated Supervisor Willie Johnson, Jr., (District 13) on the first ballot. Earlier Supervisor Michael Mayo, Sr., (District 7) had announced his intention to run, but he withdrew.

Overridden during the meeting was a veto by Mr. Abele that will use debt service reserve and contingency funds to pay for projects approved by the board.

Approved was a transfer of $5 million for unspecified improvements and maintenance to parks as well as $1.5 million from reserves to install traffic signal priority for buses using the Wisconsin Ave. corridor. The resolution also includes $970,000 from contingency funds for a 1.5 percent pay increase for most county employees for the second half of 2015. It also includes $505,000 to MidAmerican Building Services, the contractor that cleans the Courthouse, Criminal Justice and Safety buildings, as well

Having received no response to their invitation promising Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele a courteous reception if he would appear to explain details and answer questions about the new downtown arena financing plan, the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors removed from the agenda before its July 30 meeting a proposal to sell 10 acres of land to developers for one dollar.

The board also overrode, vetoed, and modified a number of other budget proposals by Mr. Abele during the last meeting with Supervisor Marina Dimitrijevic (District 4) presiding as chair. She announced July 24 that she would step down immediately following the election of her successor. In that election Supervisor Theodore Lipscomb, Sr., (District 1)

County Executive Chris Abele as other county buildings.

The funds are to be used to increase worker pay to a socalled living wage which has been set at $11.47 an hour.

After impassioned and extended debate the board also decided to delay for six months a decision removing the Social Development

Commission as the Milwaukee county supplier of slightly more than $2 million in energy assistance funds. The approved resolution called for a very thorough “public vetting” of the decision to divide the funds between two other energy assistance providers, a decision gratefully received by the SDC. “Their decision to require public hearings on the model protects the low-income residents in our community,” the SDC said in a statement issued after the meeting. “We look forward to contributing to the process and offering insights based on over 35 years of experience operating the program.”

Another contentious issue requiring extended debate was the creation of a task force “to develop a plan and design for a memorial within Red Arrow Park to honor Dontre Hamilton.” Mr. Hamilton was shot and killed during an altercation with

a Milwaukee police officer who was later fired over the incident. Several military veterans attended the meeting and sought an opportunity to speak, but were ruled out of order by the chair because the agenda did not provide time for public comments.

Order was not restored until Supervisor Dimitrijevic sharply banged down her gavel repeatedly and threatened to have the bailiff remove anyone causing further disruption.

After attempts to refer the resolution to committee and reject it were both defeated, the resolution creating the task force was approved 135; however both Supervisor Mayo and Supervisor Patricia Jursik (8th District) said they would not vote in favor of the memorial if it did not receive support from members of the “Red Arrow” 32nd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army for whom the park is named.

Jr., will hold a Call to Action Rally at 9 a.m., on Thursday at the Martin Luther King Memorial on the National Mall.

The NAACP hopes to cap its Selma, AL to Washington, DC relay march, called America’s Journey for Justice, in the nation’s capital on Sept. 16.

Other celebratory activities are planned for different times.

Considered among the most far-reaching legislation in history, the 1965 Voting Rights Act removed many of the impediments to voting created by cities, counties and states that prevented many African Americans from exercising their right to vote under the 15th Amendment to the Constitution.

Dallas County, AL, which includes the city of Selma, was typical.

As the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington, DC-based think tank, observed, in 1965, more than half of Dallas County was Black. However, of the county’s 15,000 voting-age African Americans, only 156 were registered to vote. By contrast, two-thirds of voting-age Whites were registered.

It took the savage beating of 600 protesters, including future U.S. Congressman John Lewis, by White law enforcement officials on April 7, 1965, known as “Bloody Sunday,” to stir the nation’s conscience against ballot box indignities. That provided the momentum for passage of the bill.

“Only in the wake of the Voting Rights Act did black voter registration in the

South begin to approach that of whites,” the Joint Center said in a report titled, “50 Years of The Voting Rights Act: The State of Race in Politics.” It continued, “Five years after the passage of the Act, the racial gap in voter registration in the former Confederate states had closed to single digits. By the start of the 1970s, the black/white registration gap across the Southern states was little more than 8 percentage points.”

In four of the 12 presidential elections since 1964, Black voters have turned out at higher rates than their White counterparts, according to the Joint Center. And the number of Black elected officials have increased from less than 1,000 in 1965 to more than 10,000 in 2015, including President Barack Obama.

While properly appreciating the accomplishments of the Voting Rights Act, we should not lose sight of the challenges that lie ahead.

“Since the 2010 election, 21 states have new laws making it harder to vote – ranging from photo ID requirements to early voting cutbacks to registration restrictions – and 15 states will have them in place for the first time in a presidential election in 2016. Those 15 states are: Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin,” according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law.

Rebuilding Our Community

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

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

When justice matters Just like a page out of US history, we are witnessing and reliving events that reveal an ugly truth about our nation’s past... “Some people’s lives do not matter.” With each passing day, another incident grips the headlines and shockingly exposes what so many of us already know, that our criminal justice system needs an overhaul. And soon, if not already there, we are coming to an impasse of what to do about it. Clearly, what is going down is not working.

Today, many see our criminal justice system as being flawed and out of balance... especially when you consider that people of color are

disproportionately paying a higher price when it comes to charges, length of sentences and incarceration.

And it does not stop there, even after paying the fines, serving time and reentry back into the community there is an ongoing stigma that comes along with being involved with the criminal justice system. For many the nightmare never stops and getting back to some kind of normal life is an ongoing battle.

Not only are we wrestling with the social impact of a broken system, we are also dealing with a system that is becoming overwhelmed

Op-Ed: Voter suppression

introduced in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder. On June 25, 2013, the court invalidated Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, the provision determining which jurisdictions are required to pre-clear any voting changes with a federal judge or the Justice Department because of a history of racial discrimination.

To repair the court’s damage, Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) took the lead in introducing a bill that would, among other things, require states and municipalities with a history of repeated voting violations to pre-clear any election law

(Continued from pg. 3) And things are likely to get worse before the election The Brennan Center also noted, “As the early stages of the 2016 presidential race begin, state legislatures are already considering hundreds of laws that could determine voters’ access to the ballot. Since the beginning of the 2015 legislative session, and as of May 13, 2015, at least 113 bills that would restrict access to registration and voting have been introduced or carried over in 33 states.”

Many of these bills were

with the shear volume of societal problems that are “out of sight” and “out of mind.”

And the emergence of videos by “John Q Public” being produced via cell phones and shared on the internet

has opened our eyes to the good, the bad, the ugly and the just awful in real time.

These “game changer” videos have added to the need for more system reform and a challenge to the status quo.

Let’s get real about it; many of our problems are deeply rooted cultural biases that continue to create barriers to reforming our criminal justice system. At the center of it all is the troubling fact that “racism and poverty,” are major factors. Additionally, it seems that more “gray” areas are now appearing, where there are unknowns and it keeps us asking the question, “How can we make the system

changes with the Justice Department or a federal judge in Washington, DC, just as had been the case before the Supreme Court’s recent action.

Of course, Blacks must also continue to fight against regressive changes at the state level.

Any euphoria created by the tremendous gains made since passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be tempered by a stark reality cited in the report by the

Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

It noted, “Based on the most recent data, African Americans are 12.5 percent of the citizen voting age population, but they make up a smaller share of the U.S. House (10 percent), state legislatures (8.5 percent), city councils (5.7 percent), and the U.S. Senate (2 percent).”

A report by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights concluded, “While the VRA has

better for all, regardless of race or socioeconomic status?” I don’t know about you, but it’s time for a change and where all lives matter. And in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

been enormously successful in eliminating some of the most egregious forms of discrimination, the reality is that discrimination in voting remains real and immediate.”

Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs encouraged residents to take part in the Bronzeville Pre-Beautification Effort at N. 4th St. and W. North Ave. on Saturday, July 25. The beautification efforts included a neighborhood litter cleanup, planting and landscaping. “The beautification effort is an opportunity to come out and support the historic Bronzeville neighborhood,” Alderwoman Coggs said.

“The cleanup is a positive way for the community to show pride for their neighborhood as we head into the third annual Bronzeville Week.” Bronzeville Week, founded by Alderwoman Coggs, celebrates the rich cultural and historical roots of the predominantly African American neighborhood August 1-8, 2015.

MPS celebrates start of year-round schools building on past achievements and focused on future successes

New year includes a focus on increasing attendance, literacy across all subjects and implementation of Regional Development Plan to create more enrollment opportunities in high-performing schools Milwaukee Public Schools leaders and community partners marked the beginning of the new school year – Day One – for the district’s year-round calendar schools on Monday with 3-, 4- and 5-year-old kindergarten students.

The year-round Day One event was held at MPS’ Frances Brock Starms Early Childhood Center.

Milwaukee Board of School Directors member Annie Woodward, who represents the district that includes the school, joined MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver and partners including Interfaith Older Adult Programs, the Brewers Community Foundation, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Molina Healthcare and Neighborhood House of Milwaukee to mark the start of the year.

Starms Early Childhood is one of 11 MPS schools on the year-round calendar.

Schools on MPS’ King/Reagan calendar begin August 10 and the vast majority of MPS schools – those on the traditional calendar – begin September 1.

The 2015-16 school year comes as MPS saw significant successes in 2014-15, including: • The MPS Class of 2015

earned a record-breaking $39 million in scholarships • Seven MPS high schools were rated among the best in the state and nation according to U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post • A record 82 MPS schools were honored for reinforcing positive behavior and supporting learning needs of all students “These successes fuel our push to do more because we must continue to improve to meet the needs of our young people. We are on a mission to ensure equity, access and opportunity for every child in MPS,” Dr. Driver said.

“We know what our young people are capable of achieving and it is our responsibility to help them achieve it. We are grateful for the partners who recognize that everyone in our community has a stake in the education of our students.”

Mission critical to helping students achieve is ensuring every student is in class all day -- Day One and every day.

In addition to a focus on boosting attendance above the district’s current 90 percent average, MPS’ efforts in 2015-16 will focus on: Literacy across all subjects: MPS is working to strength-

Day One at MPS’ Starms Early Childhood Center. en the incorporation of reading and writing into subjects such as science and social studies to boost literacy.

Rethinking high schools to better serve students: MPS has created a new support system to address the unique needs of high schools and convened a group of educators, business leaders and community partners to help in the work.

Continuing to implement

the Regional Development Plan to create more enrollment opportunities in high-performing schools: MPS is building additions to high-performing Fernwood and Maryland Avenue Montessori schools, exploring a second campus for the successful Milwaukee Spanish Immersion School, creating a comprehensive middle school for the gifted and talented on the northwest side

and approving successful charter school expansions to serve more students including at Hmong American Peace Academy and Universal Academy for the College Bound.

Providing additional support for reading and math interventions: Interventions are a critical tool to help students who may be struggling advance to grade level and to help give those students who are already on grade level an opportunity to continue to accelerate their learning.

Continuing MPS’ commitment to the arts: MPS has appointed a new fine arts manager, the district is maintaining the 140 new art, music and physical education positions added over the past three years and it is working through a new collaborative involving dozens of local partners to strengthen arts opportunities for MPS students.

Rufus King Varsity Cheerleading Squad brings home cheer camp awards

MPS Photo

Practice and hard work paid off for the Rufus King Varsity Cheerleading Squad.

The team was the sole squad from Milwaukee Public Schools among 12 from around the state, which took part in the camp presented by Central Wisconsin Cheer Camps hosted by Green Bay East High School July 25-26.

The Rufus King squad, coached by Rufus King alumni Veronica Bohannon and Robin Anderson, won awards for Most Spirit, Best Dance, Most Improved and received the Spirit Stick.

An NCON Communications Publication

The camps are designed to create a team-bonding environment as well as help cheer squads improve skills and techniques under the guidance of camp staff.

Cheerleading is among the many extracurricular activities offered by MPS, which is helping to redefine the MPS experience.

MPS is working to expand fine arts, athletics as well as strengthen student clubs, associations and organizations for all students to extend the classroom beyond the four walls of a school. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Learn the facts about one of the most common sight-threatening conditions for African American older adults

Local Eye MDs advise: Don’t let cataracts cloud your vision

African Americans have nearly twice the risk of developing cataracts than Caucasians. This difference may be due to other medical illnesses, particularly diabetes. African-Americans are also much more likely to become blind from cataracts and glaucoma than Caucasians, mostly due to lack of treatment. Despite this threat, most people don’t know the facts about cataracts until they are “eyeto-eye” with one. Don’t let poor vision cloud your future. Educate yourself about cataract symptoms, risks and removal. Then, ask yourself if it’s time for you to have an eye exam.

Cataract facts What exactly is a cataract?

“A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens located inside the eye behind the pupil,” says Mark Freedman, MD, senior partner at Eye Care Specialists, a leading ophthalmology practice recognized for providing advanced medical, surgical and laser treatment of most all eye conditions. “This lens works like a camera lens— focusing light onto the reti-

na at the back of the eye to form the images you see. As you age, changes can cause clouding of this lens. This clouding is called a ‘cataract.’

As the clouding advances, it can blur and glare vision to the point of inhibiting dayto-day functioning. Depending on the type of cataract, the clouding may take years or just months to progress.”

What increases the risk of developing a cataract?

• Age (cataracts develop with time, like age spots and wrinkles—six out of 10 people over age 60 have some form of cataract) • Diabetes (doubles the risk for cataracts and glaucoma) •Cortisone/steroid use •Long-term unprotected sunlight exposure • Previous eye injury • Smoking How do you get rid of a cataract?

“There are no drugs, drops, glasses or exercises that can prevent or cure cataracts,” says Brett Rhode, MD, Head of Ophthalmology at Aurora Sinai Medical Center and partner at Eye Care Specialists. “The only effective treatment is to make an opening in the eye, surgically remove the cloudy lens (cat-

Normal Eye (left): The clear lens focuses light rays onto the retina, producing a sharp, clear image.

Cataract (right): The cloudy lens causes light rays to scatter, producing a blurry, hazy, washed-out image. aract), and replace it with an intraocular lens implant (IOL) to once again focus light rays onto the retina,” adds Rhode, who, along with the rest of the surgeons at Eye Care Specialists, uses the most advanced techniques to gently break up and remove cataracts through a tiny incision.

What are the symptoms?

Losing your vision is not a fact of life as you grow older.

Schedule an eye exam if you notice:

When was your last eye exam?

African-Americans’ risk for vision loss or blindness is 8 times more than whites for glaucoma and 3 times more for diabetes. How can you protect yourself and your family? Call Eye Care Specialists and mention this ad to schedule a comprehensive exam. We’re pioneers in eye surgery procedures and lead the way in detection, tracking & treatment technology. And, we’re affordable— accepting Medicare, Medicaid & most insurances at 3 locations, including Mayfair Road across from the mall and downtown in the Wells Fargo building across from the Central Library.

• Foggy, fuzzy, blurred or double vision • Sensitivity to light and glare • “Starbursts” around lights • Holding items closer to view • Needing brighter light to read • Fading or yellowing of colors • Difficulty judging stairs or curbs • Difficulty seeing to drive at night • Vision changes affecting the ability to do tasks • Glasses and prescription changes don’t help When should you have surgery?

Daniel Ferguson, MD, an ophthalmologist with thousands of cases under his surgical cap advises, “It’s not necessary to wait to remove a cataract until it’s so ripe that almost all vision is blocked.

In fact, if you wait too long, it can grow so dense that the operation becomes more difficult. If a cataract is preventing you from doing tasks, new glasses won’t improve clarity, and no other major eye conditions exist which would keep you from having a positive outcome (like severe macular degeneration), then it’s time for surgery.”

Why do some people hesitate to have surgery?

“Some people delay surgery because they think it’s unaffordable. They don’t realize it’s covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans. Others think they are too old or that poor vision is just a fact of life that comes with age. We want everyone to know that vision loss from cataracts is usually reversible, and with today’s advanced techniques and equipment, cataract removal is one of the safest outpatient operations—even for the very elderly,” says Freedman.

What happens once you decide to have the cataract removed?

Cataract surgery is NOT performed in the office or on the day of your initial appointment. First, you must meet the surgeon and have preparatory tests done. Once you and your doctor decide to proceed with surgery, you will have a comprehensive eye exam to see if any other existing conditions (such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and macular degeneration) could detract from your surgery results. Your exam will also include a quick, painless ultrasound procedure to determine the prescription for the IOL implant that will restore focusing ability in your eye.

What happens before surgery?

Daniel Paskowitz, MD, PhD, an eye surgeon with credentials from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, explains, “We enter information regarding the length of the eye and curvature of the cornea into a special computer that calculates the power of IOL which would best restore vision to pre-cataract levels. We then customize the type of implant and surgical technique to fit the patient’s needs—taking into consideration overall health, any diabetic or retinal problems, lifestyle, and other factors.

We never lose sight of the fact that even though our practice has performed tens of thousands of cataract procedures, each patient is unique and is treated accordingly.”

How does the lens implant restore vision?

Eye Care Specialists ophthalmologist and surgeon Michael Raciti, MD, explains, “After the cloudy lens (about the size of an aspirin) has been removed, the artificial lens implant (IOL) is inserted through the same opening and placed permanently inside the eye to provide focusing ability, peripheral (side) vision, and depth perception. IOLs not only provide sharper vision, but often improve sight to levels not seen in years. Standard IOLs are like miniature internal contact lenses set for a single prescription power—usually to provide clear vision in the distance for driving, watching TV, and other tasks. Most patients with these lenses still need reading glasses or bifocals. Newer ‘premium’ IOLs can adjust for astigmatism or provide multiple focusing (Continued on pg. )

By Nathaniel Sillin Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Over 50? Supersize your retirement savings If you're over age 50 and not sure whether you're going to be able to retire, it's time to focus, get advice and build a realistic plan.

You're not alone. The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently reported that most households approaching retirement have low savings, adding that nearly half of households led by individuals or couples aged 55 and older having no retirement savings accounts at all.

The first step is to define where you really stand financially. Consider speaking with a qualified financial and tax advisor to define your present financial circumstances.

Such a conversation should take into account your household income, tax situation, debt and retirement assets in any form. Reviewing these factors can help shape your decisions about supersizing your retirement plan for maximum safe returns.

While a customized plan is generally the best way to approach shortfalls, here are some general approaches.

Take time to reevaluate your budget (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ budgeting). To accelerate retirement saving and investing, you need to find the money first. Non-mortgage debt is a major retirement savings obstacle. Better budgeting can help you find the money to pay off debt quicker. Adjust your spending across the board so you can accomplish this while adding more money to savings over time.

Know that you're going to need to accelerate your savings. Estimates vary, but generally, after age 50, it's best to direct at least 10 percent of your gross income in savings and investments to cover living expenses when you stop working. If you are employed, review your con-

tribution and income limits for the most popular self-directed and tax-advantaged retirement savings vehicles.

Those include: 401(k), 403(b) and most 457 plans, which will have a maximum annual contribution limit of $18,000 in 2015 Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) – both Traditional and Roth – which will have maximum "catch-up" contribution limits of $6,500 (the regular $5,500 limit plus

$1,000 for taxpayers aged 50 or over by yearend 2015) If after all this effort you're still not able to find enough money to put away, consider making a greater effort on the income side. Many individuals boost their savings through a second job or freelancing from home. Consult qualified financial and tax professionals to make sure you're handling this extra income correctly from a tax perspective and putting it in investments that make sense for you.

Downsizing to a smaller home or an apartment in a lower cost-of-living destination or deciding to move in with friends or family at minimal costs may also provide additional savings for retirement. But first, consider what you might get for your home. If you are able to sell a primary residence at a significant profit over your purchase price – above $250,000

for a single taxpayer and above $500,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly –speak to a tax professional about ways to avert a significant tax liability.

Finally, put proper financial safety nets in place. Make sure you have an emergency fund (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emergencycalc) set up so you won't be forced to dip into savings to cover unexpected expenses. And don't forget insurance – having the right amount of property and casualty, health and disability insurance can protect your retirement nest egg from significant risk.

Bottom line: Building a retirement fund after age 50 is challenging, but not impossible. Get solid tax and financial advice, start downsizing immediately and don't forget critical financial safety nets.

Can I see an ID please?: Your age is an important metric to understand how much risk you should take. According to investors and experts, the younger you are, generally, the more investing risks you can take.

Take 23-year-old Justin Brosseau for example. He started putting his savings into stocks when he was 15 years old and is comfortable taking risks mostly because he's young.

He made a 250 percent profit on his first stocks he bought.

"Age was a big factor for me," Brosseau says. "I really didn't have much to lose."

Meanwhile, Douglas Wood, a 65-year-old retiree, tells new investors to start slow and "put your toe in the water." He started investing a decade ago, and he's doubled his portfolio's value. But going into retirement, Wood sensed a need to conservatively manage his money.

"I contemplated many times, 'What should I do?'"

Wood says. His advice: "Get in the game and learn."

What's your schedule? How much time do you want to spend learning about stocks, bonds, currencies commodities, ETFs, REITs....you get the point.

"People have to be honest with themselves about those limitations," says Albert Brenner, director of asset allocation at People's United Bank.

There are lots of tongue-twisting acronyms like DJIA and REIT. They can make a beginner want to say WTF. So let's clear the fog.

CNNMoney.com asked both normal Americans and Wall Street experts, "What would you do if you had $1,000 to invest?"

They all said the same thing: Knowing yourself is just as important as knowing all those stocks and acronyms.

"There's a lot more that you need to understand about yourself before you start saying, 'what should I put my money into?'" says Douglas Wood, a 65-year-old retiree from Kalamazoo, MI. Here are four questions to answer before hitting the "buy" button.

What are your goals? Outlining what you want your investments to accomplish will help guide you in the right direction, investors and experts say.

It's like creating a road map. You wouldn't drive cross-country without at least peaking at Google (GOOG) Maps.

"It's like anything, whether you're buying a house, buying a car or saving for college -- what are your goals?" says Ernie Cecilia, chief investment officer at Bryn Mawr Trust.

Are you saving for retirement? For a home? A kid's college fund? This will determine how risky you want to be with your money.

How to have a happy, healthy and spiritually fulfilled old age Old age is not something society tends to view in a glowing and positive way most of the time. Much of the advice concerning old age is about trying not to reach it and pretending that old age is something that won't ever catch up with us.

But old age is a time to be celebrated as much as any other time in the full cycle of life and it's a time when we can find deep self-fulfillment and happiness. For many people, it's the first time in their lives where they have the chance to fully live without being burdened by the expectations and ideas of others who have impacted them throughout life. Yet, it's crucial that you don't confuse self-realization with the mere acting out of external needs, for such needs are short-term and lack deep fulfillment. To be truly happy in the depths of your soul, inner happiness must be cultivated too and it is never too late to learn how.

1. Don’t conform to age stereotypes. If you enjoy something, get out and do it.

If health problems interfere, find ways to work around them and still get into the things that matter to you.

Associate with groups of diverse people, not all in your age group. Don’t think of your life as over, look at your future and plan for it actively.

Socializing with young people who share your interests is a good way to keep in balance and avoid getting socially sidelined.

2. Practice the five principles of health. It might be tempting to say you’ve reached this point of life without worrying about your health habits but your best strategy for avoiding lengthy hospital stays, autonomy-sapping medical care, and bossy nursing home regimes is to look after yourself as much as possible. Treasure the health you have now and give it a boost by making sure that

Cataracts (Continued from pg. 13) zones with less dependence on glasses. Your surgeon will help you determine which type of IOL is best for your eye, health, budget and lifestyle.”

What happens during surgery?

Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia (often just drops to numb the eye). Typically, a no-stitch, self-sealing micro-incision is made to remove the cataract and insert the lens implant.

Utilizing these advanced techniques, the procedure itself usually takes only about 15-20 minutes and total time at the outpatient surgery cenwww.milwaukeetimesnews.com

self calm whenever you feel doubt or unhappiness is an ideal practice. If yoga doesn’t work for you, keep looking to find the spiritual exercise which is helpful for you. And be sure to practice daily: You can have every positive religion or philosophy you want, but you must practice it to get the bliss.

6. Have a hobby. Life has purpose when you make choices about the things you want to do and then do them. A hobby is an excellent way to remain fulfilled and interested in what is happening around you. Inevitably, a hobby will always provide a way to reach out to others who are interested in the same hobby as you, thereby increasing your fulfillment through interaction with other people. It doesn’t matter what sort of hobby you have, provided it is enjoyable, affordable, and is practiced with restraint.

7. Spend time with friends. You can find friends on the internet, in collaborative projects like wikiHow, in spiritual associations, in social organizations, and through volunteer work. It’s a good idea to meet up regularly with one or more people so that you connect and feel part of a greater whole.

Spend good times together and speak up if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing.

The time for putting up with things is long gone.

If people pretend to be your friends and hurt you, wish them the best and part ways. There is a time and a place for trying to mend things with people but as you grow older, there is less time and a need for faster acceptance that some relationships are simply not meant to be.

Don’t sweat it; find the people who fill you with joy and happiness and spend more time with them 8. Love an animal. If you like pets, be sure to have one.

The love, comfort, and con-

nection with a pet is as important to you in old age as it was to you at any age. Animals don’t judge us the way people do, and animals don’t care what our age is, provided we ensure they’re well fed, groomed, and loved. Choose a pet that is easy to care for and can be handled by you without a worry.

9. Consider doing positive things for others. This can be a time of life where you’re more than happy to give back to others, and you also have the free time to do so. Volunteering, teaching, or guiding can be good ways to pass on your experience, knowledge, and skills to others and in return, you continue to connect with people and to receive the joy of knowing that you are helping others to learn. A part of you will always live on in every person you help and teach, so do good and live in the energy of love.

In doing good for others, you become the mother or father of the world, not just of the children you have parented. This extended family is a privilege of old age, and as your wisdom is treasured by many others, your mind will change into love.

10. Learn to stop fearing dying. Your spiritual exercises are a very important means for helping you to break through the fears and worries that you may hold about death and letting go. Meditation and chanting mantras can also be a source of great comfort. Realize that after your death, you will earn the great benefit of your spiritual old age. You will move into a dimension of light, peace, and love. Even if you don’t believe in a life after death, the comfort to be obtained from viewing death spiritually, as a cycle, and accepting it as what is meant to be, will be great.

you stick to the five basic principles of health: • Eat healthy. This includes eating raw vegetables and fruit every day.

• Avoid or quit unhealthy substances and habits. If you haven’t already done so, now is the ideal time to give up taking drugs, excess alcohol, smoking, and over-eating.

• Stay active. There are plenty of sports ideal for the older body, and many of these can also involve being around other people (and beautiful scenery if you choose your exercising location well). Try sports like walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, and aqua aerobics to maintain an optimal fitness level.

• Practice positive thinking.

• Take up meditation. If you’re not already meditating, this is the perfect time to start. It will settle your mind and any unrest like nothing else.

3. Aim to be active every day for at least half an hour or one hour. Go walking, jogging, swimming, cycling or do intensive yoga. Visit a health center or have an exercise bike in the comfort of your own place. It could be said that if you sweat once a day, the illness keeps away!

4. Cultivate happiness.

In old age, inner happiness must be cultivated. Old age often brings energy loss, disease, a sense of meaninglessness, and worry about external problems over which

you have no control. When the nerves are getting weaker, inner positivity is at great risk of declining. In old age, it’s necessary to make an effort to cultivate happiness through everyday exercises that can maintain both physical health and strengthen your inner happiness. Make the choice to stay involved with your continued growth rather than giving in to socially condoned decline.

5. Read a spiritual book for one hour each day.

There are many good books that can inspire you on your way to inner happiness. All you need to do is choose the ones that align with your own interpretation of spirituality. Reading is the best trainer for maintaining a positive mind and for answering many of your probing questions, and is also a perfect means for controlling your negative thoughts. Being exposed to spiritual writing and passages on a daily basis is uplifting and helps you to continue to hone your sense of purpose. Look for the positive sentences and learn them by heart, or at least say them over to yourself several times. And make a deal with yourself to start every day with a positive vision.

6. Practice yoga and meditation every day for one hour. Awaken your enlightenment energy through meditation. A calm mind is a positive mind, and using yoga and meditation to

ter is about 2-3 hours.

What happens after surgery?

After surgery, patients go home and resume most activities within hours. Their vision noticeably improves within days. “Most people are so pleased with seeing things brighter and clearer, that they can’t wait to have their other eye done,” notes David Scheidt, OD, a medical optometrist who assists with the pre- and post-operative care of Eye Care Specialists’ patients.

What’s the best way to prevent cataracts and other eye diseases?  Get regular eye checkups because eye diseases don’t always have symptoms.

African Americans over age 40 should get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least

in healthy nutrients (like fruits and green leafy vegetables) and low in fat and sugar.

Discovering Our Deep Cultural Roots In The Arts

Great Days in Harlem: The birth of the Harlem Renaissance Originally called the New Negro Movement, the Harlem Renaissance was a literary and intellectual flowering that fostered a new black cultural identity in the 1920s and 1930s. Critic and teacher Alain Locke described it as a "spiritual coming of age" in which the black community was able to seize upon its "first chances for group expression and self determination."

With racism still rampant and economic opportunities scarce, creative expression was one of the few avenues available to African Americans in the early twentieth century. While chiefly a literary movement, the influence could be felt in music coinciding with the “Jazz Age,” as well in art and theater . The Harlem Renaissance, according to Locke, transformed "social disillusionment to race pride."

Perfect timing The timing of this comingof-age was perfect. The years between World War I and the Great Depression were boom times for the United States, and jobs were plentiful in cities, especially in the North. Between 1920 and 1930, almost 750,000 African Americans left the South, and many of them migrated to urban areas in the North to take advantage of the pros-

perity—and the more racially tolerant environment. The Harlem section of Manhattan, which covers just 3 sq mi, drew nearly 175,000 African Americans, turning the neighborhood into the largest concentration of black people in the world.

Literary roots Black-owned magazines and newspapers flourished, freeing African Americans from the constricting influences of mainstream white society. Charles S. Johnson's Opportunity magazine became the leading voice of black culture, and W.E.B. DuBois's journal, The Crisis, with Jessie Redmon Fauset as its literary editor, launched the literary careers of such writers as Arna Bontemps, Langston Hughes, and Countee Cullen.

Other luminaries of the period included writers Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Rudolf Fisher, Wallace Thurman, and Nella Larsen. The movement was in part given definition by two anthologies: James Weldon Johnson's The Book of American Negro Poetry

and Alain Locke's The New Negro.

The white literary establishment soon became fascinated with the writers of the Harlem Renaissance and began publishing them in larger numbers. But for the writers themselves, acceptance by the white world was less important, as Langston Hughes put it, than the "expression of our individual dark-skinned selves."

The play writes Jean Toomer wrote plays and short stories, as well as poems, to capture the spirit of his times. Book publishers soon took notice and patronized many of these talents. Zora Neale Hurston was noticed quickly with her moving novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Music met prose in the form of musical comedy. The 1921 production of Shuffle Along is sometimes credited with initiating the movement. Actor Paul Robeson electrified audiences with his memorable stage performances.

Renaissance shaped America and the entire world as much as jazz. Jazz flouted many musical conventions with its syncopated rhythms and improvised instrumental solos.

Thousands of city dwellers flocked night after night to see the same performers.

Improvisation meant that no two performances would ever be the same. Harlem’s Cotton Club boasted the talents of Duke Ellington.

Singers such as Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday popularized blues and jazz vocals.

Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong drew huge audiences as white Americans as well as African Americans caught jazz fever.

The continuing hardships faced by African Americans in the Deep South and the urban North were severe. It took the environment of the new American city to bring in close proximity some of the greatest minds of the day. Harlem brought notice to great works that might otherwise have been lost or never produced. The results were phenomenal. The artists of the Harlem Renaissance undoubtedly transformed African American culture. But the impact on all American culture was equally strong. For the first time, white America could not look away.

A happy old age (Continued from pg. 15) 11. Motivate yourself every day. In old age, thinking can easily become negative because ways are set and change becomes something to be loathed. Yet, giving up is worse than dying; never wanting to learn another thing, never wanting to change another thing allows decay to set in and your old age will lack harmony and purpose. While it’s not easy to motivate yourself to exercise each day, to practice your spiritual reading and meditations, and to find the will to cook healthily, these are important sources of re-energizing yourself and of helping you to cope with the changes of life. To help you get motivated, find a helpful phrase that will energize you and cause you to react positively.

• What is your helpful phrase?

Every day, find a way to re-energize the power to live a positive life. Start the day with spiritual music, a word of a spiritual master or a spiritual exercise like yoga with positive thinking.
