Baltimore reaches $6.4 million settlement Move to reinstate in death of Freddie Gray Wisconsin’s handgun The family of Freddie that killed Mr. Gray occurred Gray, the 25-year-old black while he was being trans- waiting period man whose death from a spinal cord injury while in police custody set off riots in Baltimore in April, has reached a $6.4 million settlement with the city, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced Tuesday, September 8, 2015.

The proposed settlement, which will be taken up by the Board of Estimates — the panel that approves contracts and purchases for the city — at its meeting on Wednesday, September 9, does not “constitute an admission of liability on the part of the city, the Baltimore Police Department, individual Baltimore Police officers,” or anyone else who might be responsible for Mr. Gray’s death, Ms. Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.

Children were playing last week in Sandtown-Winchester, the Baltimore neighborhood where Freddie Gray was raised. One young resident called it “a tough community.”Hard but Hopeful Home to ‘Lots of Freddies’MAY 3, 2015.

The settlement comes as judicial hearings are just beginning in the cases of six officers facing criminal charges in Mr. Gray’s death. Last week, Judge Barry G. Williams of the Baltimore City Circuit Court ruled that the six would be tried separately; on Thursday, Judge Williams will conduct another hearing to consider a request by defense lawyers to move the trials outside Baltimore.

“The proposed settlement agreement going before the Board of Estimates should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or inno-

Freddie Gray cence of the officers facing trial,” Ms. Rawlings-Blake said. The proposed settlement will be paid as $2.8 million in the current fiscal year and $3.6 million in the year beginning in July 2016.

Mr. Gray was arrested April 12 in West Baltimore, a blighted neighborhood of boarded-up rowhouses. His death on April 19 set off nearly two weeks of largely peaceful protests, followed by a night of looting and arson — the worst rioting Baltimore has seen since 1968.

It also opened a deep wound in Baltimore, a majority black city with an African American mayor and a history of tensions between black residents and the police.

In filing criminal charges against the six officers, the state’s attorney for Baltimore City, Marilyn J. Mosby, has asserted they improperly arrested and shackled Mr. Gray, flouting police rules and standards of decency by loading him into a police van without required safety restraints, and ignoring his pleas for help during the ride. Ms. Mosby has argued that the spinal cord injury

ported in the van.

The six face varying charges. Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., the driver of the police van in which Mr. Gray was injured, is charged with second-degree depraved-heart murder — in essence, murder with willful disregard for human life. Sgt. Alicia D. White, Lt. Brian Rice and Officer William G. Porter are charged with manslaughter. Officers Edward M. Nero and Garrett Miller face lesser charges, including second-degree assault.

On Thursday, lawyers for the six officers are expected to argue before Judge Williams that the officers cannot get a fair trial in Baltimore because of the intense publicity surrounding the case.

The lawyers had also sought to have Ms. Mosby and her office removed from the case, citing conflicts of interest and prosecutorial misconduct, but Judge Williams rejected those arguments in a hearing last week.

In a statement, the Baltimore police union questioned the timing of the settlement, saying that it threatened to “interrupt any progress made toward restoring the relationship” between members of the Baltimore police and city officials.

“To suggest that there is any reason to settle prior to the adjudication of the pending criminal cases is obscene and without regard to the fiduciary responsibiity owed to the taxpaying citizens of the city,” the president of the police union, Lt. Gene Ryan, said in the statement.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's mother, Helen Burns Jackson, dies at 91 in South Carolina Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson's mother, Helen Burns Jackson, died in a Greenville, SC, hospital on Monday, September 7, 2015, according to Jackson and a family friend. She was 91.

"My loving mother ... has made her transition to be with God," Jackson wrote on Twitter along with a picture of the two of them in their Sunday best.

The South Carolina native passed away at Greenville Memorial Hospital, said Greenville County Councilwoman Xanthene Norris, who has known the family for decades. Norris, 86, said she and Burns both belonged to Springfield Baptist Church.

"She was a very talented young lady. She had a beautiful voice," Norris told NBC News, adding that Burns was also "very smart academically."

By Tim Morrissey Wisconsin News Connection State Rep. Chris Taylor, a Madison Democrat, has introduced legislation that would reinstate Wisconsin’s 48-hour waiting period for handgun purchases.

In mid-June, Gov. Scott Walker signed legislation repealing the state’s decades-long, two-day waiting period.

Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature maintain background checks now can be done in minutes, so the waiting period is no longer necessary. Taylor disagrees.

“That’s absolutely not true,” she stresses. “What the waiting period is about is trying to prevent these people who get incensed, or who are in a certain moment, from inflicting harm to themselves or to other people. That was the point.”

Pointing out that someone is killed with a gun in Wisconsin every 20 hours on average, Taylor says this is not the time to be making it even easier to buy a handgun.

She says the original law was passed not to allow more time for a background check, but to force a cooling off period on people who

make a highly emotional decision to buy a handgun.

According to Taylor, restoring the state’s 48-hour waiting period is a small step Wisconsin can take to directly address the issue of gun violence in the nation.

“And now we have a new study that says, in fact, states that have waiting periods have a lower incidence of suicide, so it makes a lot of sense,” she points out. “This is about preventing these impulsive, horrible acts of violence.”

There have been more than 100 homicides in Milwaukee so far this year, compared with 86 during all of 2014.

Overall, Wisconsin had 111 gun homicides last year.

Wisconsin’s 48-hour waiting period was passed overwhelmingly by the state Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Patrick Lucey in March 1976. Taylor says the intent of the law was very clear, back in the ‘70s.

“We needed a cooling off period,” she states. “Having a cooling off period might prevent somebody impulsively at the spur of the moment from getting a handgun, and either causing harm to themselves or to others, and that rationale is still present today.”

Despite woes, Mayor Barrett optimistic on city’s future

By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times Despite a rise in homicides, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett believes there is tremendous positive energy and opportunity in the heart of the city. His challenge, he said, was to extend that “positive momentum” out into the Milwaukee neighborhoods with higher crime rates and fewer employment opportunities.

Mayor Barrett shared his vision during an exclusive 45-minute interview with The Milwaukee Times at his office in City Hall on September 4.

In describing a typical day, he said he relies heavily on his smartphone and described the one type of text message he dreads receiving above all others.

Death text messages are with him always "Increasingly I’m checking the text messages that I get from the Police Department,” Mayor Barrett said, “and I am hoping that I will not see a message from Sgt. Eddie Strong, the head of my security detail… but there was yesterday,” he said as his voice trailed off. Then he began reading some of the details from a shooting.

“I get those at all hours of the day,” Mayor Barrett

said… “I used to get phone calls whenever there was a homicide, but with technology it’s just faster to do it like this and so we switched to text messages on April 2014.

I have never erased one of those from my phone and that is purposeful in that I don’t think anyone should erase this from their mind” Police body cameras Crime and jobs are Mayor Barrett’s two top priorities.

He noted that the Milwaukee Police Department will become one of the first large American cities to equip all officers with body cameras.

Mayor Barrett acknowledged that there were probably a higher percentage of police stops in high crime areas of the city, but he said that the number of citations being written is down as are the number of citizen complaints.

Mayor Barrett has been involved in a number of renovation projects downtown as well as some in the neighborhoods. On the day he was interviewed by The Milwaukee Times he also attended a press conference at 34th and Auer Streets where Gorman and Co., is renovating a number of foreclosed houses using inmates who have recently been released from prison.

Mayor Tom Barrett Mayor Barrett lauded the program as a four-way win. It improved the local housing stock, provided much-needed jobs, it enjoyed bipartisan political support and it was a public-private partnership.

Mayor Barrett also singled out the new Northwestern Mutual Insurance office building under construction downtown, praising it for the number of minorities who have been hired to work on the project.

He has been less successful renovating the 80-acre parcel near 27th Street where the A.O. Smith Company built automotive frames. Using transportation funds made available by the Obama Administration, had awarded the Transportation Department a $1 billion grant sought by Wisconsin under then-Governor Jim Doyle

to convert part of the A.O. Smith plant into a passenger rail maintenance facility after two new Hiawatha Amtrak route trains were constructed at the site.

State must pay $10 million for trains mothballed Mayor Barrett shakes his head in bewilderment as he mentions that a judge recently awarded a further $10 million in fines to the railroad manufacturing company whose contract with the state Governor Walker and the Republican-led State Legislature declined to fund.

“The taxpayers of this state paid out more than $40 million for those two trains that are now in mothballs and we don’t even own them,” he said. “We don’t have anything to show for it.”

Despite that setback the city, with some financial assistance from the state, has made a considerable investment in the Century City development area in order to attract a new industry by cleaning up environmentally contaminated areas and tearing down a number of unsalvageable structures.

Days for high-paying manufacturing jobs are over Should the Milwaukee Common Council approve

the arena financing deal, Mayor Barrett said he believes the neighborhoods will benefit from the increased number of jobs created.

“I am very cognizant of the economic strife that a large percentage of people in the city are living under,” he said.

“I’ve been doing this long enough to know that there is no one magic potion, but the way I’ve described it is I view it as a $500 million dollar public works project that is being paid for with $250 million in private money. I want it to create hundreds, if not thousands, of new jobs.

I want as many people from the city as possible to get jobs from this project and I think you’d be surprised if the Mayor didn’t say that.

“I think there will be ancillary development,” he said. “Part of the challenge we have is that the days of high-paying, middle class manufacturing jobs are over.

I think we have made some strides in hiring people of color in the health care industry and in IT. We have to make sure that we give people the skills they need [to get a job]. That doesn’t necessarily mean a master’s degree, but you have to have some training to get hired.”

Policies on why and when to deploy police body cameras need to be vetted

By Alderman Joe Davis, Sr.

entire patrol division of the Milwaukee Police DepartThe proposed purchase ment is a foolish idea. Reof body cameras for the cent instances in which the

department has experienced critical technology failures should absolutely cause us to move forward cautiously.

Alderman Joe Davis, Sr.

s e o r e h r e p u s . l s l e a p t a o c N r a e w

Be a hero.

Be a foster parent.

If the crash of a system like MediaSolv can compromise critical data for law enforcement and the judicial system, we should be asking serious questions about the reliability and practicality we would be getting for our investment of taxpayer dollars. This is just one reason why I think a pilot program would be a better means of moving forward.

Another concern is that individual officers will be given the discretion to turn the cameras on or off as circumstances dictate. Given the extremely stressful con-

ditions that our officers have to endure amid the current increase in violent crime, we don’t know whether such a policy would be an effective use of this technology.

It seems to me that by giving officers the discretion to turn their cameras off, we are also undermining one of the most important goals of this initiative—earning the trust of our minority communities and bridging the divide between police and people of color. The technology exists to activate and deactivate the cameras automatically, based on proximity to the squad car, but the mayor’s initiative fails to explore that option.

Until the department has a set of procedures in place and policies established, this proposal from the mayor is another attempt to spend tax dollars like a drunken sailor. I am confident that my colleagues on the Common Council will see through this irrational proposal and choose to pursue well-defined outcomes and objectives, instead of an overtly political response to a public safety crisis.

Care for a child in your community.

Rebuilding Our Community

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

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

Deal or No Deal?

The game show “Deal or No Deal” first appeared in America in December 2005 and ended in 2009. The show was big hit with over 10-16 million viewers each episode during its first full season. During the game, one contestant chooses one briefcase at a time from a selection of 26. Each briefcase contained a cash value from $1 to $1,000,000. To start the game the contestant would select one briefcase that would remain on the table by them.

It was over the course of the game that the contestant would begin to eliminate a few of the other briefcases at a time by having them opened by those holding them. Periodically and after the opening a few cases the game would be stopped by the host and the contestant would be presented with a money “deal” from the Banker who was located upstairs in a darken room and would

call the host by phone with the offer. The Banker would make an offer to the contestant to stop now and take the money before continuing on with the game. The offered amount would be based upon what the remaining dollar amounts left in briefcases not opened. Then the contestant would have to make a decision to the take the “deal” or say “no Deal.”

The process of opening briefcases would con-

The question remained, “do I take the money and quit or should I go on and believe that the first briefcase I selected is the right one with a lot of money?

Similarly, it feels the same as if we were on the game show, with this new proposed sports arena for downtown Milwaukee. Each week something new and another briefcase is opened and adds more to the mountain of information; public financing, timelines to make a decision, public input, promotion, county, state and city government. All we can hear is ... “let get this arena deal done.”

The real sad thing about these kinds of situations or deals is that it is a recurring theme that is echoing all across America... it’s another city, different people but the same music. Don’t get me wrong... I am for progress, economic growth, job creation and moving forward... it’s not the overall concept of the “deal” that concerns

tinue throughout the game and as more brief cases were opened the “deal” and amount of money being offered by the Banker would go up or down based solely on what the remaining dollar amounts were in the unopened briefcases. As time went on and more briefcases were opened the tension would build and the contestant would have to seek out help from the audience, family members and friends.

There is no timeframe on one's true self/ talent.

Belief of wasted potential and time makes us has-beens in our own lives. This belief leads to settling for the lesser in life instead of pursuing the greater. You see this commonly in relationships and business.

“I’m 30 now, I should be married with children, he can only teach so much. Age or she will do.” Or, “I can’t prevent someone from don’t like this job but it pays reaching their full potential well with benefits and I can in some form or fashion.

been used on millions, including myself. Is it possible to waste something that technically doesn’t exist? Let’s say potential is in everyone; how do we know it is wasted? We have to be careful what we say to others and, more importantly, believe about ourselves. You may have walked this planet for several decades but that doesn’t mean your potential is gone. Please don’t think about sports or athletic skills. Sports are not the saving grace or measuring tool for life on this planet.

If one has potential to be a great lawyer, do they have a timeframe to achieve the position? People on the planet have allowed their minds to become entwined in a false sense of time. As a whole, many people believe they are on a stopwatch to live and achieve their goals. Many live their lives as if it were a 40-yard dash instead of a million-mile marathon. We believe that if we haven’t made it by a certain age then time is against us. Is this the truth?

Potential is a word that can be a blessing and a curse. It can be of value and be a tease that never produces. Potential is something everyone has but many never fulfill.

There is potential in every person on this planet. The question is are you striving to reach your full potential? Or have you let a sense of time rob you of yours?

Potential is a latent excellence or ability that may or not be developed. This is the potential that everyone hopes to see in children. The possibility of excellence in the USA usually means money and possibly fame. This is the reason people send their children to school or press them to play sports. People are always looking for potential in others for gain or personal use. What about the potential that lies within oneself ?

Potential is something I have wasted over the years in vast amounts. It would be hypocritical of me to point at others when I am guilty as Haman. I will say if everyone lived up to their potential society would be different.

The Counseling Corner

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

Death and dying: Pre-planning (Week 2) “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 Whenever people begin thinking about their own funeral, it causes uneasiness.

There are benefits, however, to preplanning. The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) notes that as people preplan for their own funeral, it offers great emotional and even financial security for them and their families. With preplanning, families find comfort in knowing the funeral reflects what their loved one wanted. It also gives the peace of mind to not have to make important decisions at a very stressful time.

To begin the pre-planning process, contact your local funeral director. With your funeral director, you will discuss the methods available for disposal of your body.

There are three approaches; burial, cremation or donation.

Burial requires a coffin and a place for the burial. The funeral home can provide help with the options available.

Don’t ever feel obligated to choose the most expensive casket the mortician has available. The corpse cannot feel, sense, see, smell or hear anything. But that logic rarely prevails in the purchase of the casket. Taking a close friend or clergy person with you to make the choices may be helpful. You will also be asked to decide where you would like your body to be buried.

Cremation, the NFDA states, is becoming increasingly popular, especially among the baby boomer generation. Among the many reasons for this growing trend is the breadth of options cremation provides for a final memorial service.

Cremation gives people the flexibility to search for types of tributes to reflect the life being honored. But this doesn’t mean that aspects of traditional funeral services have to be discarded. Even with cremation, a meaningful memorial that is personalized to reflect the life of the deceased could include: • A visitation prior to the service; • An open or closed casket; • Special music;

• A ceremony at the funeral chapel, your place of worship or other special location; and • Participation by friends and family.

• Commonly, cremated remains are placed in an urn and committed to an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium; interred in a family burial plot; or included in a special urn garden.

• Cremation also gives families the option to scatter the remains. This can be done in a designated cemetery garden or at a place that was special to the person. Today, cremated remains can even become part of an ocean reef or made into diamonds.

Donation. Many states (including Wisconsin) allow persons to indicate on their driver’s license they are organ donors so that organs can be removed at once following death.

Whatever option you

choose, cremation or burial, traditional services or contemporary celebrations, contact your local funeral director for more information.

They are there to help you.

Beloved, for some families, cremation contributes to a denial of the reality of death when no physical evidence of the deceased is present at the time of the funeral or memorial service.

Some Christians worry about the loss of the body for resurrection purposes. It is no more difficult for the Lord to raise a dead body which has been consumed by fire than it is for God to raise a body which has been dead for five days. Remember, all things are possible with God.

Ribbon-cuttings set for new MPS athletic fields Rebuilt South Stadium, renovated Custer Stadium part of district effort to strengthen athletic opportunities Milwaukee Public Schools student athletes, district leaders and community members will come together Friday, September 11, 2015 to cut the ribbons at two new MPS athletic fields, celebrating new opportunities for student athletes that enhance the MPS experience.

The new football and soccer fields at the rebuilt South Stadium and the renovated Custer Stadium are a component of district-wide efforts to expand athletic programs, tied to MPS’ eight Strategic Objectives or “Big Ideas” to improve student success.

“We want to redefine the MPS experience for our students and making sure that our students have access to stronger extracurricular and athletic opportunities is a critical part of a well-rounded education,” MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said.

Ribbon-cutting events are set for:

• Approximately 5:30 p.m. (halftime of the 4:30 p.m. football game) at Custer Stadium, immediately southwest of MPS’ Barack Obama School of Career and Technical Education, 5075 N. Sherman Boulevard, Milwaukee 53209; Rufus King International High School will be taking on North Division High School • Approximately 7 p.m. (halftime of the 6 p.m. football game) at South Stadium, adjacent to MPS’ Hayes Bilingual School, 971 W. Windlake Avenue, Milwaukee 53204; Pulaski High School will be taking on South Division High School The two new fields feature synthetic turf to both improve player safety and help the fields handle a higher volume of games. Each stadium is the home field for multiple teams.

Custer Stadium is home for the football programs at Rufus King International High

My Brother's Keeper Summit set for Saturday, Sept. 12 At the My Brother's Keeper Summit, Milwaukee Public Schools recognizes the challenges Milwaukee’s boys and men of color face.

MPS is partnering with the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative, My Brother's Keeper and Black Male Achievement to host the My Brother's Keeper Summit Saturday, Sept.

12 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at North Division High School, located at 1011 W. Center Street. This event is free and open to youth, adults and fathers of all ages.

By Tim Morrissey Wisconsin News Connection One of the most important factors in keeping a child healthy is making sure he or she is getting plenty of exercise, according to a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

Dr. Denise Dunlap recommended at least a full hour of moderate-intensity physical activity every day, and added that it’s important to limit the amount of time children stare at a screen.

that includes watching TV, playing on a tablet, computer,” she said, “and then make sure that kids are getting at least five different colors of fruits and vegetables in, over the course of the week. Just try to make sure they’re getting in those good nutrients and vitamins."

Dunlap is a big advocate of having a healthy breakfast to start the day. According to the American Heart Association, if you’re packing your child’s lunch for school, get the child involved and teach them to make healthy choices. The association also recommends providing an ap-

"Things like Type 2 diabetes, even fatty liver disease, cholesterol problems, high blood pressure,” she said.

“So we are seeing these in kids too much, unfortunately, and we talk a lot about ple, grapes or veggies as an those sorts of healthy eating after-school snack. and all of that at our wellChildhood obesity now is check visits.” the top health concern of In addition to making sure parents in the United States, your child gets plenty of exaccording to the association, ercise and is eating a healthy

diet, Dunlap said, it’s important for parents to set a good example.

“Make sure that as adults we too are having a nice three meals a day with fruits and vegetables; be active; just be a good role model for our kids,” she said. “That can go a long way. And just try to avoid purchasing any of those processed foods that aren’t good for kids, just not even making it an option for them.”

More information on keeping kids healthy and preventing childhood obesity is online at heart.org/healthierkids.

Back-to-school tips for healthy teeth Dental hygiene, good diet and regular checkups make for pearly whites, expert says The beginning of a new school year is usually a big transition, as lazy summer mornings are quickly replaced by mad dashes to the bus stop.

But a pediatric dental expert warns that your children’s tooth care shouldn’t be lost in the mix.

“In the hustle and bustle of back-to-school, dental care often falls by the wayside,” Gretchen Henson, program director of advanced education in pediatric dentistry in the department of dental medicine at Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, said in a hospital news release.

“Tooth care is critical, but during busy school mornings, kids sometimes forget to brush. Children should see the dentist twice a year, but adequate home care, healthy diets and trauma prevention can ensure that children’s teeth stay healthy when they get back to school,” Henson added.

There are some steps children and parents can take to

help ensure their teeth stay healthy and cavity-free: • Brush before breakfast. There is little time to spare on most school mornings. Sometimes kids eat their breakfast on the way to school. It’s not necessary to wait until after breakfast to brush. This will help ensure kids brush their teeth before heading off to school. “The goal is to prevent the pH of the mouth from dropping to an unsafe zone since cavities form in an acidic environment,” said Henson. “Studies show that if we brush before we eat, the mouth’s pH will

not dip low enough to form cavities.”

• Don’t micromanage.

Some parents tell kids to hold off brushing until after they’ve fixed their child’s hair. Allow children to brush their teeth while their hair is being done so no time is wasted and teeth are clean.

• Consider diet. School meals may contain processed and sugary foods. Parents who pack their child’s lunch should focus on sending perishable items, such as fruits and vegetables, that will provide children with healthy alternatives.

• Don’t overthink it. A little variety is nice, but there is no harm in giving kids the same lunch each day if it means it will be healthier. For example, cutting fruits and vegetables, and adding hummus and pita bread is healthy and convenient.

• Consider shelf life.

Packaged foods that can sit on the shelf for a long period of time, such as crackers and pretzels, contain starch.

Starch coats the teeth and can breed cavity-causing bacteria. Since kids may get these snacks at school, parents should avoid adding them to their pantry at home.

Instead, opt for fresh fruits and vegetables or dried fruits like raisins.

• Choose water. Juice often contains more sugar than children should have in an entire day. This sugar can coat the teeth, promoting tooth decay. Sugar can also lead to an afternoon crash, which interferes with schoolwork. Instead of juice, give kids fruit and teach children to drink water.

• Be safe. Kids partici-

pating in organized sports should wear mouth protection. This is particularly true if they play soccer, baseball and basketball. Children should also always wear a helmet when riding bicycles or scooters. Helmets should also be worn when roller skating or rollerblading.

• Seek help. Children who fall on their face should visit the nurse and the dentist.

Sometimes issues can develop slowly. A minor problem could actually affect the root of a tooth. If a permanent tooth is knocked out it must be replaced within 30 minutes. Never scrub a tooth that has fallen out, even if it looks dirty. This could kill its root.

• Don’t expect pain. Cavities in children don’t hurt until they become infected.

So, some children with cavities may not complain about tooth pain.

• Be careful about braces. Dental care for those with braces is even more important. It can be tough to brush around braces and plaque can build up, leading to permanent damage.

Teens often wear braces and hormonal changes that take place during adolescence can alter bacteria in the mouth.

Flu vaccines offer about 6 months of protection, study finds

Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

Household dust harbors thousands of microbial species Geography, pets and gender of house mates make a difference in types of bacteria, fungi found

Early fall seems to be best time for immunization, researchers say Flu vaccines offer moderate protection throughout most of the flu season, a new study shows.

The research included more than 1,700 Americans of all ages. The participants all got flu shots. The researchers followed them for four flu seasons, from 20102011 through 2013-2014.

Annual flu shots offered up to six months of protection, the study found.

“Previous studies have found that protection from contracting influenza declines over time following influenza vaccination due to decreasing antibody levels,” Dr. Jennifer Radin, of the U.S. Naval Health Research Center in San Diego, said in an American Society for Microbiology news release.

“However, we found during this study that those who received the vaccine had moderate, sustained protection up to six months post-vaccination, the duration of most influenza seasons. This means flu vaccination reduced one’s risk of a doctor’s visit by approximately 50 to 70 percent,” she

explained.

The findings suggest that giving flu shots early in the fall, before the flu season begins, may prevent the greatest number of flu cases.

Radin and her colleagues also found a sharp drop in protection after six months, which shows the value of getting yearly flu shots.

The study was presented recently at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases in Atlanta.

Findings presented at meetings are generally considered preliminary until they’ve been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

SOURCE: American Society of Microbiology, news release, Aug. 24, 2015

You’ve got a lot of unsuspected roommates: A new study finds that ordinary house dust contains thousands of species of bacteria and fungi.

The researchers analyzed dust from about 1,200 homes across the continental United States, and found that the dust in each home contained an average of more than 5,000 species of bacteria and about 2,000 species of fungi.

“Every day, we’re surrounded by a vast array of organisms in our homes, most of which we can’t see,” study co-author Noah Fierer, associate professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said in a university news release.

“We live in a microbial zoo, and this study was an attempt to catalog that diversity,” he added.

"Geography is the best predictor of fungi in your home,” Fierer said. “The reason is that most fungi blow in from outdoors via soil and leaves.”

For example, a home in the upper Midwest has different

fungi than one in the Southeast.

By analyzing the dust samples, the researchers could predict which homes had pets such as cats and dogs, and even the gender ratio of the people who lived there.

For example, homes with only males have a different bacterial population than homes with both males and females.

The study was published Aug. 26 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. “One of the key takeaways

is that if you want to change what you breathe inside your house, you would either have to move very far away or change the people and the pets you live with,” lead author Albert Barbaran, a graduate researcher at the University of Colorado at Boulder’s department of ecology and evolutionary biology, said in the news release.

The study findings may prove useful in allergy research and forensic investigations, according to the researchers.

Discovering Our Deep Cultural Roots In The Arts

The rise of 'girl groups' and their evolution in music and society

By William S. Gooden Culture Vulture for the Milwaukee Times

Tucked between the popularity of the early Rock and Rollers and the mid-1960s British Invasion was the phenomenon known as the “Girl Groups.” With names like the Bobbettes, the Shangri-Las, the Marvelettes, Martha and the Vandellas, the Ronettes, the Shirelles, and the Chantelles, they offered a style rich in vocal harmonies that was eagerly embraced by a wide audience.

A number of girl group hit songs were co-written by female songwriters, including Carole King, Ellie Greenwich, Cynthia Weil, and Florence Greenberg (who also launched her own record label and whose life served as the basis for the 2011 Broadway musical Baby It’s You). If, up to that point, male voices and male songwriters dominated the popular music scene, things were changing.

Rock and Roll had a new female sound that produced a string of hits.

The girl groups rarely if ever performed material they had written themselves and rarely if ever played the instruments featured on their recordings, a job left to male studio musicians. Lyrically,

The evolution of the "Girl Group:" The super-stars of the 60's, Diana Ross & The Supremes (left); the young rebels of th 90's, TLC (center), and the sexy, sophistication of the 2000's, Destiny's Child (right). most of their songs -- from the Dixie Cups' “Chapel of Love” to the Angels' “My Boyfriend’s Back” -- focused on the males in their lives and the promise of a satisfying relationship with that perfect guy. But there was nonetheless something new at work: a female voice was emerging, despite it all.

As the girl groups gained in popularity and became a bankable success for the record companies, like Motown Records, the members begin to want more from the songs they were singing.

In 1967, Diana Ross & the Supremes(considered one of the most successful musical groups of all time), having gone through a membership change and slight name change, found themselves without a recent number- one hit. This prompted Motown label chief Ber-

ry Gordy to hold a special meeting in a room at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit, who named themselves The Clan and set to work on a hit single for Diana Ross & the Supremes. Instead of composing another lovebased song, the team decided to craft a more risqué (for the time) tune, "Love Child," about a woman who is asking her boyfriend not to pressure her into sleeping with him, for fear they would conceive a "love child." The woman, portrayed on the record by Diana Ross, is herself a love child, and, besides not having a father at home, had to grow up enduring shame. The concept of a "love child," which was common place in the African American community, was new and shocking to the white community that bought the majority of records. This helped propel

However, the success of the girl groups of the 60's notwithstanding, the cultural mindset of America was changing and the sweetness and innocence of the girl groups fell out of style with the changing listening audience. While, attempts were made in the 70's and early 80's to recapture the magic of the 60's girl groups, it wasn't until the early 90's that the girl group found its evolution into something new.

The girl groups of the 90's were the daughters of those that fought for the civil rights and women's rights movements of the 60's and 70's, who had come of age and were now seeking their independence as women with a rebel's zeal. Groups like TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, SWV and EnVogue came with

a new funky and fresh attitude and many of them contributed or wrote much of their own music. The girls were now empowered and no longer looking for perfect boyfriends. Instead their songs spoke to young women about owning their power and their sexuality.

More socially conscious than ever, songs like Salt-N-Pepa's, "Let's Talk About Sex," encouraged young women to open dialogue about safe sex to keep themselves and their partners safe and healthy; and EnVouge's "Free Your Mind," spoke to the prejudice faced by a young emerging, black, urban culture. With this new attitude the girl group would now be a staple in the music industry into the new millennium, with a few new tweaks to the girl group formula.

Girl groups

September 3rd Camika Smith

(Continued from pg. 16) The 2000's brought a refinement to the girl groups.

The young rebels had been given a make-over. Much like the girl groups of the 60's the groups of 2000's and 2010's were much more polished and refined but still spoke to female empowerment and independence, like the groups from the 90's.

Groups like Destiny's Child, The Spice Girls, Dixie Chicks, and Fifth Harmony, sing songs about being fiercely independent without giving up on the fun, femininity and sexiness of being a woman. While many of the songs were still about finding love, they were more about finding a love in a relationship where both participants were equal in terms of financial and personal power. This was a reflection of a major shift in relationships from previous eras, say social experts.

Girl groups saw two other big changes; cosmetically, the groups were no longer all African American. Groups like the Spice Girls and Fifth Harmony were more racially diverse, with members that are from African American, Caucasian, Latino and even Asian ethnicities. The other notable change is that genrewise, girl groups are no longer found in the realms of just pop or R&B music. In fact you can find girl groups in all genres of music including, rap/hip-hop, Latin, country, gospel, J-pop and classical.

With as long as they have been around, and their resurgence in popularity, girl

Courses of study are being taught at colleges and universities on the contributions of girl groups. And their stories have been popularized on stage and screen with plays and movies, like Dreamgirls, and T.V. bio-pics like, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.

From sweet sounding love songs in the 60's to the "Girl Power" of the 2000's, girl groups have become a staple in the music industry.

And more so, a reflection of where young women stand in contemporary society.

Fall Revival to be held at Mt. Zion The Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church will hold its Annual Fall Revival Monday, September 21 through Wednesday, September 23, 2015. The theme for the week is “Finding Freedom Through God’s Word.”
