On Friday, September 12, 2014 Mayor Barrett’s Strong Neighborhoods Plan and Groundwork Milwaukee partnered with Metcalfe Park’s Building Neighborhood Capacity Program and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District on a pilot project to hire 10 young adults from the Metcalfe Park neighborhood. The workers are trained to install green infrastructure on Milwaukee’s north side. The “Green Team” will assist the City of Milwaukee in reaching its goal of improving 80 vacant lots through the Strong Neighborhoods Plan. The Green Team project is partially funded by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, Helen Bader Foundation, Northwestern Mutual Foundation and Southeast Wisconsin Watershed Trust. The Building Neighborhood Capacity Program is funded by the Zilber Family Foundation. Pictured are Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett; Groundwork Milwaukee Executive Director Mary Beth Driscoll; Metcalfe Park Building Neighborhood Capacity Program Site Coordinator Danell Cross; and “Green Team” Workers.

On Saturday, September 20, 2014 Roundy’s Milwaukee-area stores, Kemps and Feeding America teamed up for The Great American Milk Drive— a national campaign to deliver milk to area food banks for families in need. During the hours of 10 a.m.—3 p.m. customers purchased and donated gallons of milk directly to the program. Roundy’s and Kemps loaded refrigerated semi-trucks with the donated milk, with Kemps matching up to 250 gallons of milk. Feeding America will deliver the milk to Milwaukee-area food banks. Also available for purchase were full-value $1, $3 and $5 hangtags that were converted into an overall milk donation. Feeding America will distribute these donations as free milk coupons to Wisconsin-area food banks. Roundy’s is the only Wisconsin grocer participating in the national program; the hangtags are available for customer purchase September 14 - October 12. Pictured at the event are Jared Beilke, store manager of Metro Market Bluemound in Brookfield; and Rich the Milkman for Kemps.

Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin loses major federal infant mortality grant

Milwaukee Healthy Beginnings Project will end in January 2015 care, nutrition education, immunizations, housing, etc. BHCW has successfully managed the MHBP since 1998. This National Healthy Start Initiative grant is awarded through a competitive process every five years, with annual renewal applications. This loss was for the

2014 competitive cycle. The current full grant was initially schedule to end May 31, 2014 but was extended, along with the other 105 Healthy Start sites across the country, until August 31, 2014. Now with the news of the non-award, BHCW will be able to (Continued on pg. 14)

Pastor Johnny C. White, Jr., D.Min.

Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin, Inc. (BHCW) will discontinue operating its Milwaukee Healthy Beginnings Project (MHBP) as of January 31, 2015 due to the non-renewal of its federal National Healthy Start Initiative-Eliminating Racial/ Ethnic Disparities Program grant totaling $750,000 annually. BHCW’s grant application for the National Healthy Start Initiative’s Eliminating Disparities in Perinatal Health application was approved, but not funded. If BHCW had received the grant, there still would have been a $150,000 reduction from its current MHBP grant budget of $900,000. “At a time when Milwaukee needs additional resources to tackle the complex and important issue of infant mortality," stated Mayor Tom Barrett, “the loss of this funding is a significant setback to the efforts to ensure that more infants are born healthy and live to celebrate their first birthdays.” MHBP offered an array of services and programs including outreach and enrollment; targeted prenatal and interconceptional case management, fatherhood case management and peer community education, health education, mental health services, domestic violence services, AODA services, breastfeeding education and support, the Milwaukee African American Infant Mortality Task Force and community forums. MHBP also had a strong level of collaboration with other agencies and made referrals to them for prenatal care, infant and child health

Rebuilding our Community

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

Looking for a solution I have attended a lot of meetings, summits, updates, briefings, causes, award ceremonies and the like over the past two years. Most of them in their own right are wonderful events to attend, well organized and serve a unique purpose in our modern society. For those who are fortunate to be a part of these activities, to be in the loop or run in those circles, these kinds of events are just a normal part of doing business or an expectation of one’s job. It could be how you move up in life, shaking hands, rubbing elbows and to be seen by those who are the “wheelers and dealers” in the city and beyond. It is perhaps how one builds their resume, portfolio, exchanges business cards, builds a reputation and gets your name out there. The motto for such

actions could be... “It’s who you know and who knows you.” From my observations, here are a few take-aways of ideas that I have learned from going to these events and perhaps I am not alone. First of all, there seems to be an endless number of topics, issues and causes of interest. Those include crime prevention, rehabbing houses, improving health care, support

What is society coming to when a person can’t discipline their child? The answer is the United States of America in 2014. The firestorm that has raged around Adrian Peterson has become an inferno

that can’t be quenched. The problem goes beyond Adrian Peterson. The problem has been one that has been debated since the 1960’s. What is a proper form of discipline for parents to administer to

for seniors, foster care, education, jobs and employment opportunities and poverty to just name a few. Secondly, there are a countless number of organizations, agencies, community groups, civic officials and even governmental departments vying for support from the public as to what they have to say about what they are doing. Thirdly, it seems that these events

only appeal or cater to a particular segment of the general population. It is also clear that for the most part many people in the city don’t know about what is going on or even care. Lastly, I am struck by the number of ideas, suggestions, and findings from research and of course the many, many, many....“great and glowing speeches” about what’s happening. What seems to be absent from many of these noteworthy events are workable solutions, creative plans, next steps, levels of engagement and the resources available to address the modern challenges. Don’t get me wrong, I like eating as many cooked versions of chicken, salads, rolls, dressing and desserts as the next attendee. But it would all taste a little bit better if the presentations included a

roadmap, best practices, building blocks, benchmarks and some outcomes. Most of us don’t mind attending these events and hearing wonderful speeches. Most of us are fully aware of the problems that need to be addressed in our community... “We all are just waiting for a lesson plan on how to deal with them more effectively .” By the way, could you pass the dressing, it’s my favorite.

Spare the rod their children? It doesn’t matter that Peterson is the best running back in the NFL. What matters is that Peterson had the audacity to use corporal punishment on his child. What type of monster treats a child like this? The answer is many parents who were raising children before 1980. Sadistic maniacs before the adoption of the African American moniker raised many Black people. Many of the Black people that are celebrated on postage stamps are the result. No one is advocating the use of violence on anyone, much less a child. But what should a parent do when they see their child headed the wrong way? Should a parent who is dealing with a child who is displaying behaviors that may get them killed just sit back and meditate? Since the American public is in an outrage over corporal punishment, then what is the solution? Prisons are being upgraded daily for an influx of new inmates. What many people don’t want to accept is that American society is violent. The media is filled with stories of brutality and aggressive acts. The popular video games are ones that showcase killing. The top rated television shows are usually ones that deal with violence. The top movies are ones that are filled with violence in one form or fashion. How do you deal with someone who

ingests such a diet from birth? The modern child ingests a diet of sex and violence daily. Violence has become a way of life that subconsciously has been accepted. This is why you hear stories about bullying and no one reports it. This is why you hear about sex acts taking place among elementary students. With so many outside influences what is a 2014 parent to do? Corporal punishment may not be the answer; but what is? If you love hypocrisy then watch the pundits on television. You have all sorts of ex and current addicts giving their moral judgment. The media has painted a negative picture of corporal punishment so the talking heads are following the script. It gets even more hilarious when you watch the NFL announcers blather on. Many of the NFL announcers are ex pro football players. Some of these same people at one time gave credit to their success to a parent or grand parent who raised them. Since most of these NFL gurus are born before 1980 it's possible corporal punishment helped shape their success. Time changes the mindset

of everybody or at least it should. What worked in the 60’s and 70’s may not work in 2014. The way people raise their children has changed because the people have changed. The trillion-dollar question is, have the changes in American society been positive? Why are people feeling less safe than they did in the 70’s? In truth no one knows. It may be time to retire the rod but will this act spoil the child?

The Counseling Corner

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

The future is now! Connecting with the young adult generation (Week 4 - conclusion) This month this writer has been looking at the reasons why there is disconnect with Millennials (those born between 1977 and 2000) in many congregations. The overwhelming reasons outlined this month have been because this age group is grossly misunderstood and wholly underutilized and in some cases unappreciated. As a result of this disengagement many congregations are losing this age group, most never return. In the conclusion of this series, the Barna Group’s “Five Reasons Why Millennials Stay Connected” (Sept. 2013) will be summarized to assist congregations in building deeper, more lasting connections with Millennials. 1. Make room for meaningful relationships. Among those Millennials who remain active in church, this much is clear: the most positive church experiences are relational. This stands true from the inverse angle as well: 7 out of 10 Millennials who dropped out of

church did not have a close friendship with an adult and nearly 9 out of 10 never had a mentor at the church. 2. Teach cultural discernment. A second important ministry outcome for today’s Millennials is helping them develop discernment skills—especially in understanding and interpreting today’s culture. For a generation that already laments the complexity of modern life, the Church can offer valuable clarity. Millennials need help learning how to apply their hearts and minds to today’s cultural realities. In many ways, pop culture has become the driver of religion for Millennials, so helping them think and respond rightly to culture should be a priority. 3. Make reverse mentoring a priority. A third thing Barna Group’s team has learned about effective ministry to Millennials is that young people want to be taken seriously today—not for some distant future leadership position. In their eyes,

institutional church life is too hierarchical. And they’re not interested in earning their way to the top so much as they’re want to put their gifts and skills to work for the local church in the present— not future—tense. 4. Embrace the potency of vocational discipleship. The church must teach a more potent theology of vocation, or calling. Millennials who have remained active are three times more likely than dropouts to say they learned to view their gifts and passions as part of God’s calling (45 percent versus 17 percent). Most churches seem to leave this kind of vocation-based outcome largely at the door unless these students show interest in traditional church-based ministry. Churches must find a way to

help Millennials connect to the rich history of Christianity with their own unique work God has called them to. 5. Facilitate connection with Jesus. Finally, more than a mere community club helping youth cross the threshold of adulthood, church communities can help Millennials generate a lasting faith by facilitating a deeper sense of intimacy with God. This means Millennials who retain a longerlasting faith than their peers are more likely to find a sense of authority in the Word of God—both in the pages of the Bible as well as in their experience of intimacy with the God they follow. In other words, the version of ‘Jesus in a vacuum’ that is often packaged for young people doesn’t last long compared to faith in Christ that is not compartmentalized but wholly integrated into all areas of their life. Beloved, the issue of connecting with young adults will be a topic of continuing discussion for some time

especially as we watch a new generation of young people coming of age. What we do know at the present is that young adults are more than the future, they are the present, they are undeniable, vibrant, idealistic, creative, and refuse to be impeded by conventional constraints. It is this writer’s prayer this series has caused church leaders to re-examine their ministry practices as relates to these adults. Embracing and utilizing the unique contributions these young adults bring to the table will result in a revival in your congregation!

Think you know the dropout rates for Black males? You’re probably wrong (part 2 of 3)

The data to support a dropout crisis among black students are being misreported and used to support stigmatizing tactics

At UWM learning opportunities go beyond the classroom Students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee can do a lot of learning beyond their coursework. “Here at UWM there are really a lot of different opportunities for students to get involved. There are leadership positions, undergraduate research, extracurriculars, or just what you want to do for fun,” says Tyler Raphael, a senior from Racine, double majoring in biochemistry and biological sciences and minoring in mathematics. “I really enjoyed my experiences here.” Arturo Garcia, originally from Minnesota, found himself stepping into leadership roles in the community. “I guess this was the year where I actually decided to do better things for myself and for others. I was one of the cofounders of an organization on campus called Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee.” Raphael participated in the university’s undergraduate research program, taking on the challenge of applying the skills he was learning in his major in research with a faculty member in a different field. Working with faculty members in Freshwater Sciences, he went out on Lake Michigan to track data on lake conditions, looking for clues to a biological mystery – cell death in phytoplankton, a one-celled water organism. “I had never been on a boat on Lake Michigan before and didn’t know how to take water samples,” he says. “I learned a little about differential equations and I went to my first research conference where I could share research with other students.” Garcia took the opportunity to become involved in the broader Milwaukee and Latino communities. “Being in Milwaukee pushed me to get involved with other things, too. I became part of the Latino Student Union on campus as well as the YES group (Youth Empowered in the Struggle).” With YES, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby for the DREAM Act. “That was

Tyler Raphael (left) a powerful thing in my life, building relationships with powerful people and people of my age, my color.” He adds: “My cultural background lies deep in lands of Mexico, where my parents' parents and their parents were born and raised. My family migrated to the U.S. in the late ‘80s to fulfill their dreams. My parents always instilled the idea of education is the gateway to freedom to both my sister and me when we were young and still continue to tell us now that we are adults- and they're right." Garcia and Raphael found opportunities in research, internships and on-campus jobs. Raphael worked with the Student Success Center for four years, assisting other students in finding resources and mentors to help them adapt to campus life and stick with their studies. “I thought it would be a great way to meet people as well as help other people interact and have a really good experience at UWM. We have a lot of good information that incoming students would like to know. I know if I’d checked it out my first year, I would have been able to do a lot more than just

hang out at the library. That’s something your mentor can really help you learn.” In addition to his work with YES, Garcia was involved in WiscAMP (the Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation) program for students involved in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. He also worked as a mentor in the Student Success Center, helping new students at UWM. And, after an internship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Milwaukee, he moved into a full-time job with the agency. “It’s cool to say I’m actually a federal employee now.” His job is in conservation education, working with the forest service to bring programs to underserved areas. “It’s a fun job to have. I’ve always been an outdoorsy kind of guy,” Garcia says. He’s enjoyed the opportunity of introducing youngsters to the outdoors. “Not too many kids in the urban ‘hoods’ get to experience that so it’s good to take them out of their realm to a different place, especially when they learn something new and it clicks.”

Is there a dropout crisis among African American males? In the context of education, most people who use the word “crisis” are either victims of propaganda or being intentionally hyperbolic to sell a point or an agenda. There are many educational issues that need to be resolved for the black community, but there is an inherent danger in propagating a high school dropout crisis. For instance, according to the Schott Foundation report, only 28 percent of black males graduate from New York City schools, which can be interpreted as meaning that 72 percent of black males are dropping out. This would indeed be a crisis. Imagine 72 percent of the city’s young black males being out of school and on the streets. In raw numbers, this would mean that about 155,000 black males in New York City between the ages of 16 and 24 are high school dropouts, with only the remaining fewer than 61,000 either in high school or college or finishing any type of diploma or degree program. How alarming does this sound? This is scary enough for someone to support any extreme agenda, from the complete privatization of public schools to stop and frisk. When we use the Current Population Survey to estimate the number of black males in the New York City metro area between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not in school and have not completed high school, the percentage of the total population of black males in that age range is actually around

15 percent. Meanwhile, insidious practices in New York City are creating a racial caste system in education. While black people are supporting inept dropout-prevention programs, the school system is keeping black students from specialized high schools, like the Bronx High School of Science and Brooklyn Tech, by creating an arcane testing criterion. It is also eliminating advanced math and science classes from schools with the largest percentage of black students. The school system eliminates the possibility for many black students to earn a Regents diploma because of the curriculum it offers. In fact, the primary reason the Schott Foundation’s number for New York is so absurdly low is not that black males are dropping out. It is that they are not earning Regents diplomas. This should change just about everything about the way we currently address the 72 percent of black males who did not make the Schott Foundation’s cut in New York City. What are we doing to make sure African American children know the truth about themselves? I was honored to receive an invitation from the Rev. Al Sharpton to serve on a panel for the National Action Network Convention in April. On the panel Steve Perry, principal of the Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, CT, admonished public schools by saying that 50 percent of black males do not graduate. Later, Sharpton said on MSNBC that only 52 percent of black males graduate on time. Concluded next week

So you're getting a pacemaker (part 2 of 2) The heart device is meant to make people more – not less – active

Pacemaker surprise Wilma Martino, 61, of Akron, Ohio, had her pacemaker inserted in June, and she still isn’t quite sold. The only symptom she had ever noticed was a stronger heartbeat when she rode her bike uphill. Martino learned she had second-degree heart block, but the question was whether it was more severe Mobitz type II block. She underwent an electrophysiology study to find out – and woke up with a pacemaker. “It felt like I had a hardboiled egg in my chest,” she recalls. And she says the cardiologist’s brochure wording that recipients “might experience a slight discomfort for a few days” was a bit too understated. For three days, she says, her arm was too sore to move. “It’s uncomfortable to sleep on your side; it feels like a knife digging in you,” she says. “And [the pacemaker] moved around a lot. For a week or two you go up and down the steps and you feel it bouncing in your chest.” Martino’s pronounced heart beat continued after pacemaker insertion, even with several readjustments to the settings, which the doctor makes by placing a special magnet over the pacemaker

to reprogram it. Eventually, she went for a second opinion and her settings were completely changed. Now, she stays active, playing racquetball once a week, hiking and walking. And she rode 950 miles on her bike this summer. She’s ready to start picking up her grandson again. “I feel fine," Martino says, “but I felt fine before.” For other patients new to or considering a pacemaker, she recommends visiting the Pacemaker Club online. Where do you go? About 400,000 pacemakers are implanted in the U.S. each year. "A basic pacemaker – a single- or dualchamber pacemaker – is a fairly simple procedure," Daniel Cantillon, a physician who specializes in cardiac electrophysiology at the Cleveland Clinic says. "It is performed routinely at community hospitals and centers which are not [specialized] referral centers or academic medical centers, and I think that’s perfectly appropriate," he says. The procedure for CRT with the three-lead pacemaker is more complex, he adds, and it’s not offered in all community hospitals. Complications to ask about

communitywide response needed to improve birth outcomes.” Unfortunately, there were other long-standing high performance programs in cities with high infant mortality disparities like BHCW that did not get renewal funding either. BHCW was one of two agencies in Wisconsin that had received this grant. The other Wisconsin organization, Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Agency, did not receive a new competitive grant award for their Honor-

(Continued from pg. 2) continue its operation of the project until January 31, 2015 thanks to the judicious management of the MHBP project funds for almost 20 years. BHCW will continue to work with the current MHBP clients, but will no longer be taking new referrals. “I am totally stunned by our loss of these funds,” stated Dr. Patricia McManus, President/CEO of Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin. “In a city such as Milwaukee where the Black/ White infant mortality disparities continues to widen,” McManus continued, “losing this vital resource will no doubt worsen the status of infant health in our community.” MHBP was the only culturally specific community based program in Milwaukee that was addressing the issue of infant mortality and poor birth outcomes with documented success. “Reducing Milwaukee’s overall infant mortality rates and the troubling racial disparities in birth outcomes requires a broad collaboration of partners,” added Mayor Barrett. “African American infants in Milwaukee are three times more likely to die before their first birthdays than white infants, and Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin’s work has been key to the

Some hospitals, like Cleveland Clinic, publicly report their complication rates for procedures like pacemaker insertion. If you can't look these up for local hospitals, you can ask your surgeon directly. Life-threatening complications are very low for Cleveland Clinic, at or slightly above zero percent. Lead wire dislodgements requiring surgical replacement – sometimes caused by leads getting jostled loose by patients not following weightlifting restrictions after surgery – are below 2 percent. Two concerns with pacemaker implantation are bleeding of the pacemaker pocket and infection. A minority of patients with bleeding require reoperation. Studies from different hospitals have reported infection rates at about 2 to 3 percent or above. With deep infection involving the pacemaker, “the only way to manage that infection is to remove all the hardware components of the

body, treat the infection and then start all over again by re-implanting a pacemaker on the opposite side of the body," Cantillon says. To prevent infections, patients receive IV antibiotics during surgery, and the staff educates them on incision care and signs of complications before they leave the hospital. Microwaves are fine With a pacemaker, you can use a microwave, get a fullbody airport scan or use your smartphone – although it’s recommended that you hold it on the opposite side from your implant. Patients are told to avoid high-voltage interference from arc welders and stay away from strong magnetic fields. Caution is needed for any future surgical procedures involving electrocautery, which can interfere with pacemaker function, Cantillon says. The cardiologist can temporarily reprogram your pacemaker, and then change the settings back after surgery. Pacemaker believer Tracey Eller, of Jupiter, Florida, received her first pacemaker – of four – when she was 27. She was born with complete heart block, diagnosed at age 5. “I basi-

cally had no stamina,” she says, and sports were forbidden. Eller’s heart rate didn’t respond to exertion, and her pulse never rose above 44. She recalls passing out a couple times as a child. As a young adult, she says she completely lost her energy over a two-year period, and she felt dizzy all the time. “And then one day, my heart rate dropped to 22,” Eller says. “I got the pacemaker that day.” After she recovered, she went on a shopping spree – at the local sporting goods store. “I went and bought in-line skates, I bought a tennis racket – and I haven’t really slowed down since,” she says. “I discovered zip lining’s really fun.” Pacemaker replacement is a lot easier than the original procedure, she says, because most of the pain comes with creation of the pocket to hold the pacemaker. “I don’t define myself by my heart condition,” Eller says. “It’s something I was born with. Yeah, it sucks, and yeah, I wish I didn’t have it – but there are a lot of worse things that could go wrong. So you fix the problem, focus on the good stuff and move on with your life.”

ing Our Children Project. MHBP provided comprehensive culturally respectful services to 500-750 pregnant and interconceptional women, infants, children and families annually. The clients are often the most vulnerable in the community, having overall complex medical and social conditions. Through the years BHCW has worked to stabilize their clients. This work has helped to prevent low-birth weight births and infant deaths for thousands of families.

Unlike other programs that work with pregnant women, BHCW doesn’t turn clients away. The other programs, considered evidence-based programs, tend to work with the ‘cream of the crop’ clients; clients who are experiencing their first pregnancy, are in their first trimester, have stable homes, etc. MHBP, on the other hand, works with incarcerated pregnant women, homeless women, women who make first contact with BHCW during their second and third

trimesters, families who have open child welfare cases, and other complex issues. The Healthy Start funding makes up a substantial percentage of BHCW’s operational budget. “This funding loss will necessitate restructuring of our organization,” Dr. McManus expressed. “There are still pressing health needs in our community, our structure may change, we may struggle a little, but we will still continue to be here to be a voice for the voiceless.”

For more than 160 years, countless patients have turned to Columbia St. Mary’s for high quality, personal healthcare. Many others have turned to us for high quality, personal employment opportunities. That’s because we have more than the benefits of a strong, stable organization.
