“It’s great to be back in Milwaukee!” President Obama speaks to supporters at Laborfest

MPS ‘rings in’ traditional calendar year at one of the district’s 14 Commitment Schools

Event Photo

President Barack Obama A Presidential visit for Milwaukee on this Labor Day! President Barack Obama flew into town on Air Force One — speaking at Maier Festival Park to a crowd of an estimated 6,000, as part of Milwaukee’s Laborfest celebration. President Obama used his speech to tell the story of his presidency — intertwining his personal history at Milwaukee’s Laborfest.

President Obama landed in Milwaukee just before 1:00 p.m. on Monday, September 1, 2014. He was greeted

by Governor Scott Walker, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

The president also hugged U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore. He then made his way to Maier Festival Park — where he delivered his speech.

President Obama greeted the crowd with, “It’s great to be back in Milwaukee!”

President Obama rallied the crowd — talking up improvements in the nation’s economy — saying “America is stronger.” He highlighted a rebound in the U.S. auto industry, clean energy production and their impact on jobs.

The president said there are “a lot of reasons to be optimistic about America.”

President Obama spelled out the choice between his version of “bottom up” economics, versus “trickle down” economics. He said his path, which included a stimulus package, the bailout of the American auto industry and the passage of the Affordable Care Act helped the nation to recover from the recession.

“By almost every measure, the American economy and American workers are better off than when I took office,” President Obama said.

President Obama said unions still play a vital role in protecting the nation’s workers.

President Obama told thousands of union workers the labor movement is responsible for protecting workers’ rights.

“I want an economy where your hard work pays off with higher wages, and higher incomes, and fair pay for women and workplace flexibility for parents, and affordable health insurance and decent retirement benefits. I’m not asking for the moon. I just want a good deal for American workers,” President Obama said.

President Obama then returned to his original theme from the 2008 election: hope and change.

With just two years remaining in his presidency, he asked the union crowd to put their faith in America’s people — not its politicians.

President Obama stressed a point he made during his last visit to Wisconsin — that Congress should raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour — something that has been an issue in the campaign for governor of Wisconsin.

President Obama added that if Republicans gain control of Congress after November’s elections, they will hurt the chances for a higher federal minimum wage.

GE Community Service Day celebrates 20 years of service to MPS students

Event Photo

On Thursday, August 28, 2014, over 2,500 GE employees volunteered for Community Service Day at 17 MPS and 4 Waukesha schools, prepping classrooms and sprucing up school grounds for the first day of school on September 2. It is the largest single-day GE volunteering event in the world.

GE Community Service Day began 20 years ago when a group of GE em-

ployees volunteered to paint and prep MPS’ Clarke Street School. In the 20 years since, more than 80 MPS schools have benefited from GE’s generous volunteer spirit.

This year, volunteers painted murals, playground maps and classrooms; planted perennials and spread mulch; and helped teachers prep their classrooms for the first day of school.

“GE is a true community

partner. To have such a large group of employee volunteers help at our schools is proof of that commitment,” MPS Acting Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said.

Community Service Day is part of GE’s broad collaboration with MPS, which includes the GE Foundation’s five-year $20.4 million Developing Futures grant to MPS.

CHILD WATCH

3

By: Marian Wright Edelman President of the Children's Defense Fund

The emotional toll of growing up Black in America

Dr. Terrell Strayhorn, a brilliant Black Ohio State University professor, recently opened the Educational Testing Service and Children’s Defense Fund co-sponsored symposium on Advancing Success for Black Men in College by sharing a question his 14-year-old son asked him: why did he get in trouble for speaking out of turn when he jumped in to answer his teacher’s question, but when his White friend did the same thing she was praised for being excited about learning? Dr. Strayhorn noted that many parents and grandparents and educators and policy experts are concerned about the same question: “There are lots of Black and Brown boys who are often penalized for committing the same exact act that non-Black and non-Brown, usually White kids, commit in school—and some students are praised for certain behaviors that other kids are penalized for. It sends a very mixed message, because my son is confused:

‘So what should I do? Not be excited about learning?

What if you just can’t wait for the question? How do I signal to the teacher I’m not a rule-breaker'?" Dr. Strayhorn said these questions are something we’ve got to think about.

Dr. Strayhorn highlighted a number of other roadblocks we must all be sensitive to and overcome to get all our children on a path of healthy development, confidence, and success. The disparate treatment of Black children in the classroom from the earliest years, especially Black boys, often discourages and knocks many off the path to high school graduation and college. The cumulative and convergent toll of subtle but discouraging adult actions in schools and other child serving systems they come into contact with too often impedes the success of children of color, especially those who are poor, and burdens them with an emotional toll they don’t deserve.

I used to sing loudly with

Dr. Terrell Strayhorn my children and Sesame Street’s Kermit the Frog “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” I can only imagine the number of Black children and adults who sing inside daily “It’s Not Easy Being Black.” I’m sure that Black youths seeing what happened to Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown and others who lost their lives for walking while Black and those who are stopped and frisked and arrested and victimized by excessive police force carry these burdens inside every day. Even the youngest Black boys, ages 4 and 5, who are put out of school and even preschool for nonviolent disciplinary charges for which White children would never be suspended or expelled must be

Rebuilding our Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Community BySpecial for the Milwaukee Times The big little league It’s been quite a month... and what a wild emotional and draining ride it has been.

On one hand our hearts were broken by what occurred in Ferguson, MO. Another shooting of an unarmed young black man at the hand of a policeman, protests, looting, riot gear being worn, tear gas being used, arrests, rifles pointed at protesters, setting of curfews, civic disobedience, and military equipment. And it was hard not to notice that this was happening in America and not in some other part of the world... all the while the nation and the world took notice... and our reactions became difficult to describe or to believe.

However, on another hand our hearts began to rejoice with the news coming from the Little League World Series held in Williamsport, PA. On this national and world stage, a 13-year-old young black girl from Philadelphia, Mo’Ne Davis made history by being the first girl to win a game as a pitcher in the Little League World Series. In fact, her debut was a shutout as she was throwing the “heat” at 70 mph. She was amazing,

poised and truly a team player. The other great story was the Jackie Robinson West baseball team from Chicago.

They won the national title in dramatic fashion on a double play to end the game against the team from Nevada, a team they had lost to earlier in the week. These were truly proud moments for them, their families and for the city of Chicago. Kids doing what they should be doing, having fun and playing a game.

The accomplishments of these little leaguers playing “America’s Pastime” game became an inspiring story to follow. This was a great story to watch unfold, to see that young black youth can achieve on a playing field as long as it is level. If fact, our black youth can achieve when they are given a chance to succeed in the classroom,

community, sports, career and life itself. Their story has caused others to take another look at restarting youth leagues in other major urban cities again.

All urban communities are rich with many stories of young black youth doing the right things day in and day out. They are going to school, volunteering, attending church, playing sports, making good grades, respectful of their elders and becoming good citizens.

But I am afraid that most of those stories are never told.

In so many ways, what the 2014 Little League World Series did for us was to believe again in the “American Dream” and that good things are always possible if we look and work hard for them. What do you think?

confused and feel this way too.

Dr. Strayhorn spelled out another way Black children are harmed: through disparate resources in the classroom, including textbooks, that hold Black, Brown, and poor students back. He described an experience he had while a professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville working with a Knoxville high school that was 97 percent Black. “I found that in this high school these students were learning from textbooks that were at least 10 years old... What exactly are the implications of learning from a textbook that’s 10 years old? Well, I'll tell you this: that if you don’t catch up too quickly, especially in terms of science, there are certain technological revolutions that have happened at such a fast pace that they’re not even mentioned in the books from which they’ll learn—but will certainly be part of the test that they’ll take to demonstrate competency to go on to college. So it means a whole school of children and youths are set behind, not because they’re saying ‘Don’t take me into the future’ or ‘I don’t want to learn’ or ‘I don’t want to be successful,’ but in fact because they’re studying hard from textbooks that were set

up to set them behind. That’s inequitable and that’s unfair.”

As he covered what does work in building a pathway to success, Dr. Strayhorn emphasized the need for positive interventions based on proven designs—because in his program evaluation experience he’s seen far too many well-intentioned efforts that lacked a measurable impact because good ideas weren’t well implemented. He said as an example mentoring programs are especially popular, but many don’t provide adequate training: “If I ask everyone at this table, ‘Will you be a mentor?,’ and you all say yes, and I say, ‘Now, go out and mentor,’ but never tell you what a mentor is supposed to do, I never tell you how important it is to get to know your mentee, I don’t build conditions and environments where you can engage your mentee in meaningful ways, I don’t give you resources to do the most important thing that a mentor has to do—and that is expose the protégé to experiences and opportunities that they might not experience otherwise... Mentoring, for me, is problematic because (Continued on pg. 16)

The Counseling Corner

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

The future is now! Connecting with the young adult generation (Week 1) Connecting with young adults has been a daunting task for many church leaders. Young people who were once an integral part of the Children’s Ministry, fondly remembered as giving oneline speeches in the Easter Program or acting out the story of the first Christmas; now 30 years later are young adults. Because these young adults are now adults they want to be treated as such.

They have mortgages, they have car notes, they have young families, they have financial struggles, school loans and they have a life they are trying to make for themselves and their families just as all adults are trying to do. Even with this understanding, there is still a major disconnect of the church with this age group. Because the Millennials (those born between 1980 through 2000) are grossly misunderstood and equally underutilized,

the church is losing out on one of her greatest resources. There is an ever increasing conviction on the church to discern the times and develop strategies that will look quite differently from the way they have been doing church for most of the past several decades and reach this group of church goers. During conferences, one of the issues this writer continues to be asked is what churches can do to connect with the young adult generation. The problem is serious enough to give many of these church leaders reason to pause and think. In response, this month this writer will address this concern. In the final article of the series, this writer will offer suggestions congregations can utilize to begin building deeper, more lasting connections with Millennials.

A five-year project headed

by Barna Group president David Kinnaman explored

the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture. The findings of the research are included in the book by Kinnaman titled: You Lost Me: Why Young Christians are Leaving Church and Rethinking Church. These findings will be summarized in this column this week and next. Due to space limitations, only 5 of Kinnaman’s reasons will be outlined in this column this month.

The research project was comprised of eight national studies, including interviews with teenagers, young adults, parents, youth pastors, and senior pastors. The study of young adults focused on those who were regular churchgoers during their teen years and explored their reasons for disconnection from church life after age 15.

Reason #1 – Churches seem overprotective. A few of the defining char-

acteristics of today's teens and young adults are their unprecedented access to ideas and worldviews as well as their extraordinary consumption of popular culture. As Christians, they express the desire for their faith in Christ to connect to the world they live in. However, much of their experience of Christianity feels stifling, fear-based and riskaverse. One-fourth of 18 to 29-year-olds said “Christians demonize everything outside of the church” (23 percent indicated this “completely” or “mostly” describes their experience). Other perceptions in this category include “church ignoring the problems of the real world” (22 percent) and “my church is too concerned that movies, music, and video games are harmful” (18 percent).

Reason #2 – Teens’ and twenty-somethings’ experience of christianity is shallow. A second reason

young people depart church as young adults is they feel something is lacking in their experience of church. onethree said “church is boring” (31 percent). One in four of these young adults said “faith is not relevant to my career or interests” (24 percent) or “the Bible is not taught clearly or often enough” (23 percent). Sadly, one in five who attended a church as a teenager said “God seems missing from my experience of church.”

New Hope celebrates 67 years, along with legacy charter member

Pastor & First Lady Jeanette Ivy lead the grand march Charter Member Sis. Sadie Monroe

Deaconess Mary Gaddis and Sis. Willie Jackson, Mother’s Board Chair

New Hope Missionary Baptist Church pictorial history*

In celebrating God’s Faithfulness, on Sunday, September 24, the New Hope MBC celebrated their 67th Church Anniversary. The rudimentary theme: Equipped To Stand Against The Enemy, Ephesians 6:10-17 was expounded upon by guest speaker Rev. William C. Yancey, Jr., Pastor of Leadership MBC here in Milwaukee.

To commence their Anniversary Service there was a Grand March of their Official Staff and Mass Choir. Leading was their Pastor, Dr. Archie L. & Lady Jeanette Ivy followed by an actual Charter Member Sis. Sadie Monroe escorted by their Church Attorney, Bro. Cory Nettles.

Sis. Sadie Monroe has served in numerous capacities during her tenure at New Hope MBC. Her duty to God has been incomparable. Her devotion to her pastors, the late Rev. R.L. Lathan and Dr. Archie L. Ivy has been impeccable. Her dedication and commitment has been reflected in her services rendered; Choir Member, Sunday School Teacher, Deaconess, Missionary Society… just to name a few of her church involvements. We

Cory Nettles, Esq., Church Attorney and Sis. Mary Williamson, Anniversary Chairperson

are blessed beyond measure by God for what she has given to her Church for the past 67 years.

One of the highlights of the day was a special two part Church History presentation by their Church Atty. Cory Nettles. The enlarged and cased written word for the Church, followed with smaller framed versions presented to each member of the Mothers Board, was sponsored by Atty. Nettles. The historical pictorial edifices were illustrated by Brenda Wood with the assistance of Sis. Geraldine Britton, was commissioned by sponsor, the Leon L. Williamson Funeral Home.

Immediately following the service dinner was prepared and served by the 4GENs Catering Service in the beautifully decorated R.L. Lathan Fellowship Hall. The Chairperson for this memorable and propitious occasion was Sis. Mary Williamson with Anniversary Coordinators: Sis. Monica McKenzie, Sis. Kym Ramsey Quinn, Sis. Linda Womack, Sis. Robin Momon and Sis. Mary Austin. A Spirit filled day was enjoyed by all members and guests.

Our leadership must set the example of the unity that our people need. We can all talk about our problems (we have experts) ad nauseam. Unfortunately, few discuss what we can do to get out of this mess and can describe stepby-step as to how.

There are three things that we must recognize if we are to have a shot at changing our conditions: 1) It’s going to take a significantly high level of unity among Black people, especially our leaders; 2) Our progress will only come when we organize our resources, capacities, and people; and 3) We will have to earn the success that we Special Courses: UACB offers Classes: * Free After School ProgramNo one will give envision.

Bulletin Board MPS ‘rings in’ traditional calendar year at one of the district’s 14 Commitment Schools

Local and state leaders joined MPS Board members, Acting Supt. Driver at MPS’ Thurston Woods Campus Milwaukee Public Schools “rang in” the traditional school year Tuesday, September 2, 2014 at one of the district’s 14 Commitment Schools, schools identified to be transformed into highperforming schools through rigorous academic interventions, additional district-level supports and flexibility to use innovative approaches to improvement.

The 2014 bell ringing took place at MPS’ Thurston Woods Campus, located in the north side’s Thurston Woods neighborhood.

“While we have seen some signs of growth including more students meeting reading standards, a rising senior scholarship total now topping $31 million, and four MPS high schools ranked among the state’s 15 best, we must accelerate efforts to improve achievement,” Dr. Driver said. “That’s why our Commitment Schools effort is critical and it’s why we are starting the school year at Thurston Woods.”

MPS identified the 14 Commitment Schools through a selection process

that included members of the community, MTEA and administration. The schools were selected from among the 48 MPS schools that received the lowest grade on the most recent state report card. All 48 schools will receive additional instructional support, professional development and operational assistance in the upcoming school year.

Other key efforts aimed at accelerating student achievement for 2014-15 include: - School support teachers in every school to help improve instruction by working directly with educators in their classrooms - 50 new art, music and physical education specialist teaching positions in MPS schools, part of a total of 142 new such positions added over three years - Continued implementation of the district’s Comprehensive Literacy Plan and Comprehensive Math and Science Plan, which are tied to the Common Core State Standards to set a clear, high bar for what students must master in each grade to stay

Gov. Scott Walker, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, State Rep. Mandela Barnes and Ald. Ashanti Hamilton joined members of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors and students on their way to their first day of classes. on track for college and career success MPS is also committed to building positive relationships between youth and adults and cultivating leadership at all levels. Those efforts for 2014-15 include: • Parent coordinators in every school to build stronger relationships between families and schools • Committing to continue to improve outcomes for

men of color through participation in President Barack Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative • A focus on growing mentoring opportunities • Continued development of a Customer Service Bureau to better serve families • Growing new schools in response to growing demand, including the new high school at MPS’ highperforming Golda Meir

School for the Gifted and Talented, located in a onceclosed middle school building; a new charter high school with limited seats still available, NOVA Tech; and additional grades at schools including Howard Avenue Montessori School, Carmen Middle/High School of Science and Technology-Northwest Campus, Hamlin Garland School, Hayes Bilingual School, Milwaukee College Prep – 38th Street Campus, Milwaukee Environmental Sciences, Universal Academy for the College Board and Walt Whitman School.

• Development of a leadership pipeline • Continued implementation of a strong educator evaluation system designed to identify and grow excellent teaching practices The beginning of the school year comes as MPS prepares to welcome leaders from 60 of the nation’s large city school districts as the district hosts the Council of the Great City Schools 58th Annual Fall Conference in October.

New school year holds promise

By Tony Evers, State Superintendent of Public Instruction The new school year holds so much promise. There is excitement unleashed when school doors open and our

teachers, principals, and staff welcome our students and parents. This year, the efforts we’ve been working on take root. We have new and more rigorous expectations for students in math and English language arts that are based

on Wisconsin’s world-class academic standards. Our students will take new assessments, aligned to those standards and piloted last year, that will provide better information on their achievement and areas that can be

improved. And, our educator effectiveness system will be utilized statewide to provide teachers and principals with feedback on their work that will help them be better educators.

Change takes time to gain

State Superintendent Tony Evers hold. We adopted the math and English language arts standards in 2010 and Wisconsin became part of a consortium working on new assessments shortly after that. By collaborating with teachers, principals, and superintendents, we developed an evaluation system that honors the work educators do with students inside the classroom, with each other, and in the community to move education forward.

These are worthy efforts, grounded in common sense strategies that work because the singular focus is to improve achievement for all students. All of this supports our efforts to make every classroom a center for learning and enjoyment.

How to help aging parents manage medications (part 2 of 2) Cutting through clutter can safeguard loved ones' health

When medicine is a mess Your mother sees doctors for several chronic conditions, and her latest checkup has you concerned. Her blood pressure is back on the rise, and not only that, her diabetes is no longer under control. When you check her kitchen/medicine cabinet, instead of the neat row of Rx vials you’ve come to expect, you find chaos: half-empty vials of outdated drugs, unopened prescriptions still in the pharmacy wrapping, packs of over-the-counter remedies and supplements – and a plastic baggie filled with assorted loose pills in rainbow colors, like so many jellybeans.

The touchy conversation that follows makes one thing clear – your mother needs help with her medication management. If you step up to take on that role, we con-

tinue our look on how to get things sorted out.

Consult before making changes Your father takes Xanax to control his anxiety but you think it’s making him too sleepy, so you decide he should only have it every other day. Or you alter your mother’s water pill schedule to keep her from needing the bathroom so much at night.

Making these changes on your own isn’t a good idea," Joan Baird, director of pharmacy practice for the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists and Jodi Wood, a registered nurse and owner of the Akron, Ohio, branch of Visiting Angels, both agree. Instead, share your insights on how drugs affect your parent with health care providers, who can suggest the safest solutions.

Pick your pillbox

You can choose from a variety of dispensers, with pharmacies stocking everything from basic day-of-the-week cups to four-times-a-day expanded versions. Colorcoded dispensers often work well, and you can go online for dispensers with bilingual labels. Electronic versions come with alarms to remind patients and let others know when doses are missed. Talking pillboxes can be helpful for patients with vision loss.

But “when you’re working with someone who’s 75 to 100 years old, sometimes the technology can be overwhelming,” Wood says. “So you might meet some resis-

tance.”

Expect some push-back "Being a caregiver and being a daughter [or son] are two completely different things – and when those roles cross, there’s often friction,” Wood says. Tackling medication issues is a “tough subject,” she adds, similar to talking to parents about their driving ability. Wood says adult children should make sure parents always have a role in the decision-making process and feel like they still maintain some control.

Enlist outside support It helps to include siblings and other family members with medication management, especially if you're doing it from a distance. And you’ll need backup at times, like when you go on vacation. If you want to bring in outside help, home health agencies provide a variety

of care options, Wood says.

It could be a combination of nurses coming in weekly or monthly to set up weekly pillboxes and coordinate with doctors and pharmacies, and non-skilled caregivers checking in on parents more often.

A single RN visit costs about $100, she says, while charges for caregiver services range somewhere from $17 to $20 an hour.

Tweak as you go Medication management is an ongoing process, one you’ll continually tweak and adapt, especially as parents’ physical or mental condition changes. It’s a painstaking and sometimes challenging role, but by making sure parents take medications the right way, you’re helping them stay healthy and independent at home for as long as possible.

Lunchbox hygiene helps prevent foodborne illness, expert says

Since most containers are not washed lunches include finger foods, it’s easy to see how germs and bacteria can make kids sick,” she said in a university news release.

Along with keeping lunchboxes clean, parents should put a small bottle of antibacterial gel with a tight-fitting lid in children’s lunchboxes.

They can use the gel if they don’t have a chance to wash their hands with soap and water before they eat lunch.

“Once in the cafeteria, kids should avoid setting down their food on the table,” Haynes said. “Include a paper towel, a piece of wax paper, or even a small fabric placemat that can be washed at home to help children keep their food off surfaces that may have been used by multiple people.”

It’s also important to follow proper hygiene and food safety practices when packing lunches.

What’s Happening?

Hupy and Abraham sponsors 2014 Milwaukee Rally and cash giveaway

The annual event took place at Harley-Davidson dealerships over Labor Day weekend

The personal injury law firm of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. was the main sponsor for the 2014 Milwaukee Rally and the “Run for Cash” $5,000 cash giveaway.

Harley-Davidson riders and supporters headed toward Milwaukee for the largest free motorcycle rally in the Midwest. Geared toward Harley enthusiasts, all brands and riders were welcome to come together and celebrate

Harley-Davidson -- which was founded in Milwaukee.

The rally had events spanning across five area dealerships and the Harley-Davidson Museum and featured live music, food, and vendors for four days of fun over Labor Day weekend. This year’s rally included a full list of activities that include a bikini bike wash, a pancake breakfast, a free tattoo from Milwaukee Ink and many more

fun things to do.

Thursday, August 28, marked the official start of the rally, but a kickoff celebration took place at 5 p.m.

Wednesday night at Quaker Steak & Lube in New Berlin.

The Harley-Davidson Museum hosted live music and unveiling the 2015 Motorcycle Display Thursday evening.

Some of the notable music acts included Tangle Foot and Crazy Mouth.

Hupy and Abraham was the sole sponsor of the popular “Run for Cash" which has a first place prize of $5,000. Riders were able to get a special passport that needs to be stamped at each of the Milwaukee Rally locations. After all five stamps were received, riders were eligible for a drawing where winners were randomly selected.

Milwaukee Rally Locations: Suburban Motors, Milwaukee Harley-Davidson, Hal’s Harley-Davidson, House of Harley-Davidson, Wisconsin Harley-Davidson and the Harley-Davidson Museum.

All activities were free, but patrons could purchase tickets for souvenirs and other items.

As in previous years, Hupy and Abraham, S.C., would

remind motorists to “Watch For Motorcycles.” The firm has been telling motorists to “Watch For Motorcycles” for years in an attempt to reduce the number of accidents and injuries to motorcyclists. The campaign has reached over 10 million people through newspaper ads, TV and radio public service announcements, bumper stickers and airplane banners.

performance, Wisconsin has some of the worst achievement gaps in the nation. This we must change. A group of talented educators is working on strategies and resources that will help us reverse the achievement gap. We will see results from their work in the coming months.

It takes hard work sustained over time by educators and communities to fulfill our vision of a better education and future for our kids. There’s no overnight transformation.

Together, we can ensure every student returns to a classroom where the joy of learning is valued and experienced.

SHARE your VISION VISION for the Region’s FUTURE!

2050 One Region, Focusing on Our Future

Please join the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) as we continue VISION 2050, an effort to create a long-range vision for land use and transportation in the seven-county Southeastern Wisconsin Region. We welcome your input during the current step of the process—exploring a series of sketch-level land use and transportation scenarios. The scenarios represent several conceptual pictures of how the Region might look and function in the year 2050. You will be able to look at the tradeoffs between each scenario and give us feedback that will help develop detailed alternative land use and transportation plans in a subsequent step in the process.

The third set of Visioning Workshops is designed to obtain public feedback on the conceptual land use and transportation scenarios. Please register in advance for one of these interactive workshops. Each workshop will last about 90 minutes, with snacks and refreshments provided. You will also be able to explore and provide feedback on the scenarios through the VISION 2050 website. The following workshop has been scheduled in Milwaukee County: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 @ 5PM MILWAUKEE COUNTY WAR MEMORIAL CENTER 750 N. LINCOLN MEMORIAL DR. MILWAUKEE, WI 53202

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Social Security to resume mailed benefit statements Call it a paperless experiment that didn't quite pan out. In 2011, a budgetstrapped Social Security Administration (SSA) stopped mailing annual benefit statements to workers over 25 in order to save $70 million on annual printing and mailing costs.

In return, the agency launched the "my Social Security" online tool that allows 24/7 access to your statement, as well as other helpful information. (Your statement shows a complete record of your taxable earnings as well as estimated retirement, disability and survivor benefits.)

Although more than 13 million people have opened accounts, that's only about 6 percent of the American workforce. With millions of Baby Boomers at or approaching retirement age, Congress was justifiably concerned that not enough people were accessing this critical retirement-planning tool.

That's why this month SSA will resume mailing paper statements every five years

Growing up Black

to workers from ages 25 to 60, provided they haven't already signed up for online statements. The expectation is that more people will migrate to electronic services over time, as Social Security continues to close field offices and reduce in-office paperwork services – thanks to years of funding cutbacks.

The paper statements are a good first step, but creating an online account allows you to log in anytime and: • Estimate retirement, disability and survivor benefits available to you under different work, earnings and retire-

Dr. Strayhorn also discussed how important it is to provide role models for young people who look like them and who are culturally sensitive—and how this is especially true for Black boys. He was clear that not all mentors and role models have to “match.” As a young Black graduate student his own most influential mentor was his older White doctoral advisor. However, having some successful role models who do look like you and who have had shared experiences can make a huge difference, and these role models are out there for Black boys trying to imagine their paths through college: “There are models for success... I’ve met tons of young Black men all across the country who are hard working, they are conscientious, they’re industrious, they have high aspirations, and every intention of achieving their dreams. They were raised by moms, dads, guardians, foster parents, sometimes they have met the juvenile justice system, but

ment-age scenarios.

• Estimate benefits for which your family would be eligible when you receive Social Security or die.

• View a list of your lifetime earnings to date, according to the agency's records.

See the estimated Social Security and Medicare taxes you've paid over your working career.

• Find information about qualifying and signing up for Medicare.

• Review topics to consider if you're 55 or older and thinking about retiring.

• Read general information about Social Security.

• Access calculators to estimate your projected benefits under different scenarios.

• Apply online for retirement and disability benefits.

• Access a printable version of your Social Security statement.

To create an online account, go to the "my Social Security" website (www.ssa. gov/myaccount). You must have a valid email address, Social Security number, U.S. mailing address and be at least age 18.

You'll need to verify your identity by providing personal information and answering questions whose answers only you should know. Social Security contracts with Experian to design these questions based on the credit bureau's records.

(Note: If you've got a security freeze or fraud alert on your Experian credit report, you'll either have to temporarily remove it or visit your local Social Security office – with proof of identity – to open an online account.)

Once your identity has been verified, you can cre-

ate a password-protected account. Social Security emphasizes that you may sign into or create an account to access only your own information. Unauthorized use could subject you to criminal and/or civil penalties.

Review your statement at least annually to ensure the information on file for you is correct – for example, your yearly taxable earnings. Otherwise, when Social Security calculates your benefits at retirement, disability or death, you could be shortchanged; or, if your earnings were over-reported, you could end up owing the government money.

If you do find errors, call 800-772-1213, or visit your local office. You'll need copies of your W-2 form or tax return for any impacted years.

Bottom line: Even if retirement is a long way off, it's important to review your Social Security statement now to know what benefits you can expect – and to correct any mistakes well before you need to sign up.

This is true for all childserving institutions. We need to watch out for the subtle as well as the overt ways in which we treat non-White and White children and those who are poor differently. And we need much more diversity in children's literature so that White, Black, Latino, Na-

tive American, Asian American, and all children can be exposed to the rich mosaic of America's melting pot to help them see themselves and what they can be. As the new school year begins it's crucial to hold up examples of success and inclusive education—and focus on steps

that work to make that success possible for all children.

And it is important to hold up examples where all children are excited about learning and feel empowered and encouraged to ask as many questions as they can.

*1.50% Introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is available on Equiline Home Equity Lines of Credit with an 80% loan-to-value (LTV) or less. The introductory interest rate will be fixed at 1.50% during the five month introductory period. A higher introductory rate will apply for an LTV above 80%. Offer is available for new applications submitted from September 2, 2014 to October 31, 2014. Existing customers are eligible with at least a $20,000 increase in balance and commitment amount. After the five month introductory period: the APR is variable and is based upon an index plus a margin. The APR will vary with Prime Rate (the index) as published in the Wall Street Journal. As of August 25, 2014, the variable rate for home equity lines of credit ranged from 3.99% APR to 8.24% APR. Higher rates may apply for lower credit limits (depending upon the market), an LTV at or above 80%, a low credit score and/or not having a U.S. Bank personal Package Checking account. The rate will not vary above 18% APR, or applicable state law, or below 1.50% APR. Choosing an interest only repayment may cause your monthly payment to increase, possibly substantially, once your credit line transitions into the repayment period. An annual fee of up to $90 may apply after the first year and is waived with a U.S. Bank personal Platinum Checking Package.
