The Wisconsin State Legislature began its two-year session Monday, January 7, 2013, with the swearing in of new members. The swearing in took place at the Wisconsin State Supreme Court House in Madison, WI. Twenty-five new assembly members and three new state senators took the oath of office to begin their terms. There are 14 new Democrats and 11 new Republicans in the assembly. There are two new Republicans and one new Democrat in the state senate. Each name was read and each one signed a historic book. These new members say they hope this legislative session will be different from the last. Democratic and Republican state assembly members agree--the next two years is about putting political differences aside and working together here in Madison. Among those sworn in were (from top left photo) Nikiya Q. Harris, Mandela Barnes, Evan Goyke, and Sandy Pasche. Also at the swearing in ceremony are state Supreme Court Justice Patience Roggensack (top left photo) and Justice Shirley Abrahamson (top right photo).

And the Oscar nominees are…

"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane and actress Emma Stone announced the Oscar nominations for the 2013 Academy Awards in the wee hours of Thursday, January 10, 2012. Adding a bit of levity to what will surely be taken quite seriously come Feb. 24, when MacFarlane hosts the actual awards broadcast. Among those announced were "Beasts of the Southern Wild," whose executive producer, Michael Raisler, is from Wauwatosa, and was nominated for best film. The 9-year-old star of "Beasts," Quvenzhane Wallis, is the youngest best actress nominee ever. Wallis was one of two actors of color to be nominated. The other was Denzel Washington, nominated for best actor for "Flight."

Congratulations to Quvenzhane on being the youngest actress ever nominated in the best actress category !

Positive attitude yields positive results for young politician By Raina J. Johnson Special to the Milwaukee Times Nikiya Q. Harris, former Milwaukee County Supervisor representing the 2nd District, was recently elected in a highly contested and very democratic district as a Wisconsin State Senator representing the 6th Senate District. Nikiya and others in the state legislature were sworn in at the State Capitol on Monday, January 7, 2013. Since her election win, Senator Harris has been meeting with other legislators, and ensuring that she and her staff are educated and remain upto-date on issues that affect Wisconsin and the 6th Senate District. “I like to have genuine relations with legislators of both parties and my constituents and work with them on solving issues that affect Milwaukee,” Senator Harris said. Senator Harris is also looking at budget planning and the affordability of having a Milwaukee office. While in Madison she plans to keep in contact with constituents by attending various community groups meetings. There is a toll-free number that constituents can call to be in contact with Senator Harris’ office. The number is 877474-2000. “Having a positive attitude and learning from different points of view is essential for constituents and bi-partisan relations,” said Harris. In a recent press release, Harris also said, “I’m honored to represent the 6th district and eager to get to work on the pressing issues in Wisconsin, like increasing access to family-supporting jobs and quality public education, and reducing the foreclosure rate.” Senator Harris has been appointed to serve on the following committees: education; judiciary and labor; government operations;

Nikiya Q. Harris public works; and telecommunications, and is the ranking member on the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules. Harris is a Milwaukee native, a graduate of Washington High School and received both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. She also has a graduate certificate in Nonprofit Management from the Helen Bader Institute of Non-profit Management. Senator Harris first discovered politics from a college internship in Washington, DC, and from there she decided to run locally, which resulted in her being elected Milwaukee County Supervisor in May 2010. As County Supervisor, Harris served on the County Board’s Health & Human Needs Committee, Judiciary, Safety & General Services Committee and Parks, Energy & Environment Committee. “There isn’t one specific person that has influenced me locally, it’s been a collective group of people that I look up to and take bits and pieces from each one and ask for input,” said Harris. Harris replaces former Senator Spencer Coggs, who is now the City of Milwaukee Treasurer. During her office opening, Sen. Harris thanked Mr. Coggs for his years of service and dedication to the people of Milwaukee.

Postal Service issues Emancipation Proclamation stamp The U.S. Postal Service marked the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation by issuing a limited edition stamp that will go on sale Wednesday at post offices nationwide, NBC Washington reports. The stamp was unveiled at the National Archives, where the original Emancipation Proclamation is on display through 5 p.m. Tuesday, the final day of a three-day limited viewing. After the stamp

was unveiled, singer, activist, and scholar Bernice Johnson Reagon performed a dramatic reading of the Proclamation. The stamps are the first of three Civil Rights stamps that will be released by the Postal Service in 2013. The other two stamps will feature Rosa Parks and the 1963 March on Washington. In 2009, the organization previously (Continued on pg. 4)

Killer of Jordan Davis gets homicide charges upgraded to first degree murder By Victor Trammell The Florida shooting of Jordan Davis ignited another storm of racial controversy reminiscent of the Trayvon Martin case. It also brought on more debate about America’s gun control issue and the credibility of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” selfdefense law. Michael Dunn, 45, was originally charged with second degree murder of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. Dunn was arrested and charged after an incident where he shot Davis multiple times at a gas station because the teen refused to turn his music down. There were also other teens in the car Dunn fired eight shots into. According to the Florida Times-Union, a federal grand jury has taken the proper steps to secure justice in this case to the fullest extent. After reviewing more evidence connected to this tragic event, the grand

Jordan Davis and Michael Dunn jury decided to upgrade the charges in the indictment against Dunn. Instead of the lesser charge of second degree murder, Michael Dunn will have to plead to or stand trial for the more serious charge of first degree murder. In addition to the upgrade of the murder, charge Dunn was given three more counts of attempted murder for endangering the lives of the other teens that were in the car on that fateful day.

Dunn, who has a concealed weapons permit, has maintained his position that he was acting in self-defense. He alleges that he saw a teen in the vehicle display a shotgun. However, no weapons of any kind were found in the car according to police. If convicted of first degree murder, Dunn faces a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Working together is not confined to district number By Raina J. Johnson Special to the Milwaukee Times In August 2012, newly elected Wisconsin Assembly Democrat – 26-year-old Mandela Barnes beat out 8-year incumbent, Jason Fields. Barnes plans to make some changes for the 11th Assembly district, comprising the northwest side of Milwaukee and the southern half of Glendale. “You have to meet opportunity where it is; just wanting and waiting is not enough, you have to do,” he said when asked what encouraging words he would provide to others. Barnes is an up-and-coming political leader who got his start after college doing some political organizing in Louisiana, before returning to his native Milwaukee to work in the Mayor’s office. Mandela is a graduate of John Marshall High School and earned a bachelor degree from Alabama A&M University. In his previous roles he has been a director at Milwaukee Inner-City Congregations Allied for Hope (MICAH) and a youth specialist at Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board. Preparing for a new role Since being elected into office, Mandela has been preparing for his new role by having a lot of meetings and working on strengthening and building relationships with members from both parties. He is committed to working together and having positive communication.

A little reminder about life insurance. A curious little reminder. Mandela Barnes “The labels of Republican or Democrat separate us, we need to have a lot of civility, just going into someone’s office and sitting down with them can make a big difference in providing outcomes for our constituents.” He remains engaged with his constituents by being present in a lot of community group meetings. He is a member of the ACLU board and works with the NAACP. Barnes won a seat that no one thought he would win, especially going up against an 8-year incumbent. Barnes has taken a lot of advice from others and looked up to Chris Larson for inspiration. Chris Larson – Democrat, 7th Senate District, defeated incumbent Jeffery Plale and at age 30, Larson is the youngest member of the Senate. “Larson’s political path, his closely watched race and defeating someone who nobody thought would lose, is (Continued on pg. 4)

Being Frank

By Frank James IV

Take me out, coach

Everyone is in a fervor because the first week of NFL playoffs have concluded. The Packers have beat up on the Vikings so things are great in Wisconsin for at least another week. Ray Lewis and the Ravens sent the young Andrew Luck home to watch film. But in the nation’s capital, Robert Griffin III seems to be just a piece of meat to be used by Mike Shanahan. Griffin, or RG III, is one of the biggest names in the NFL. Griffin plays quarterback in a league that thrives on passing. Griffin has one of the strongest arms in the league but he also has some of the fastest legs. The talent level Griffin possesses is rare for a quarterback. Sadly Griffin plays for the Washington Redskins who are coached by Mike Shanahan. Shanahan is one of the winningest coaches in the NFL. Shanahan has shown he can take average players and win with them. In the case of Griffin, Shanahan has one of the best multitalented quarterbacks in the

league. Shanahan seems to be coaching only for this season in his use of Griffin. Shanahan has been accused of lying about Griffin being cleared to play after a knee injury. If this is true, then Shanahan doesn’t have Griffin’s career longevity in mind. The NFL has been trying to clear up the safety questions that have plagued the league over years. There have been investigations conducted by the NFL into the long-term effects of concussions. The safety of NFL players was the focal point of the New Orleans Saints, scandal that led to head coach Sean Payton being suspended for a year. With this atmosphere in the NFL, how can Shanahan justify lying about a players' injury? The Redskins invested a lot to acquire Griffin in last year’s draft. The Redskins traded three first-round draft picks to the St. Louis Rams to move up to draft Griffin. With this in mind you have to wonder why Shanahan would risk Griffin’s career. Maybe

RJ3 there was a miscommunication between Shanahan and team doctor James Andrews. Andrews is one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the United States. Andrews is the person who brought the supposed lie to light during an interview. This isn’t the first time there have been questions about how Griffin’s injuries have been handled by the team. In October the NFL fined the Redskins $20,000 for not providing correct

information about a concussion Griffin sustained in a game against the Falcons. Shanahan has won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos. At the time John Elway was the quarterback Shanahan worked with. The difference was Elway was bigger than Shanahan in Denver. Griffin is just getting started in Washington. Griffin is the prototype athlete. Griffin seems to be grounded in his demeanor and goes the extra yard for

the team. Maybe it’s time for Griffin to go the extra yard for himself. It’s nice to have the people like you and say you’re a nice guy. But sometimes in order to protect yourself you have to ruffle some feathers. In the wildcard game against Seattle Griffin was hurt. Griffin injured his knee again. If Griffin has severely damaged his knee then the bright career will be done before it even began to shine. What will Shanahan and the Redskins do? Or will Shanahan just shrug and order another piece of meat in next year’s draft?

Black homicides remain at unacceptably high rate By George E. Curry NNPA Editor-in-Chief As the nation continues to ponder possible solutions to curb carnage that results from the easy accessibility to firearms, nowhere is the loss of lives from guns greater than in the Black community. According to “Black Homicide in the United States: An Analysis of 2009 Homicide Data,” a report by the Violence Policy Center in

Washington, D.C., the Black homicide rate in the year studied was more than six times that of Whites. The report, published last January, stated, “According to the FBI SHR [Supplementary Homicide Report] data, in 2009, there were 6,505 black homicide victims in the United States. The homicide rate among black victims in the United States was 17.90 rate was 4.76 per 100,000. per 100,000. For that year, For whites, the national hothe overall national homicide micide rate was 2.92 per

100,000.” There were also some stark differences when the figures were broken down by gender. “Of the 6,505 black homicide victims, 5,576 (86 percent) were male, and 928 (14 percent) were female. In one case, the gender of the victim was unknown. The homicide rate for black male victims was 32.14 per 100,000… For white male homicide victims it was 4.26 per 100,000,” a

rate seven times less than that of Black males. African-American females were three times more likely to be homicide victims than White females. The rate of Black women was 4.89 per 100,000 compared with 1.61 for White women. The average age of Black homicide victims in 2009 was 30 years old. Eighty-two percent of the Black victims were shot and killed with guns – 74 percent (3,723) were killed with handguns. “For homicides in which the victim to offender relationship could be identified, 72 percent of black victims (2,271 out of 3,134) were murdered by someone they knew. Eight hundred sixtythree victims were killed by strangers. Another study published in September by the Violence Policy Center, titled “When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2010 Homicide Data,” observed: “A woman must consider the risks of having a gun in her home, whether she is in a domestic violence situation or not. While two thirds of women who own guns acquired them ‘primarily for protection against crime,’ the results of a California analysis show that ‘purchasing a handgun provides no protection against homicide among women and is associated with an increase in (Continued on pg. 4)

City of Milwaukee Health Department statement on infant co-sleeping deaths The City of Milwaukee Health Department is deeply saddened to learn of another infant death that may be related to unsafe sleep practices. While the investigation into the current death is ongoing, the MHD urges all parents and caregivers to practice safe sleep in their homes. Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics state that the safest place for a baby to sleep is: - On his or her back - Alone in a crib with no pillows, bumper pads, stuffed animals, toys or blankets. (In these cold winter months, it is recommended that babies are dressed in a one-piece sleeper.) - In a home without exposure to secondhand smoke The number of infants who die after being placed

in an unsafe sleep environment continues to be a major concern for our city. These deaths are preventable. We will continue to work with community partners to spread a safe sleep message. If you or someone you know needs a safe place for their baby to sleep, we urge you to contact the City of Milwaukee Health Department Cribs for Kids program at (414) 286-8620. Further information can be found at www.milwaukee. gov/health.

Young artists vie for top honors at Boys & Girls Clubs' annual fine arts exhibit On Thursday, Jan. 10, local youths ranging in age from 6 to 18 will be celebrated for their vision, talent and creativity at the 2013 Annual Fine Arts Exhibit for Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee. The event showcases more than 80 pieces by Club members and takes place 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the lower level of the Clubs’ Mardak Administration Center, located at 1558 N. 6th St. It is free and open to the public. The arts, one of Boys & Girls Clubs’ core program areas, encourages children and teens to develop their creativity and cultural awareness through knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts, crafts, performing arts and creative writing. The National Fine Art Exhibit is a program of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and enables nearly 4 million youths to develop their creativity and cultural awareness through the visual arts. It also provides them with opportunity to express their creativity, build their confidence and learn new skills. All entries for the Fine Arts Exhibit were juried by local artists Adam Carnes, Jeremy Fojut and Mary Osmundsen and were judged by age group in one of ten

categories: monochromatic drawing, multicolored drawing, pastel, watercolor, oil/ acrylic, print making, mixed media, collage, sculpture and group project. The first place winner of each art category and age group will advance to the Midwest Regional Fine Arts Exhibit, with the potential to move to the National Fine Arts Exhibit. National winners will be showcased in Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s virtual gallery in May 2013 and its national conference.

Working together (Continued from pg. 2) a big inspiration to me and my career and now I work to support others as well,” Barnes said. Next steps Barnes ran a campaign highly focused on job creation for his district but also city-wide. “The issues that the 11th district faces are the same issues that the city faces; we need to work together to create new ways to work within our new economy,” he said. “We can’t reach back for manufacturing jobs that were once here, we need to take advantage of green technology and our fresh water systems.” He cited the Westlawn Neighborhood Revitalization project as an example of how to create jobs in the 11th district and lessen the unemployment rate overall. “We have a $600 million construction project right in our neighborhood, and none of the workers are local – that is a problem, we need to develop, train, and hire local talent.” Pointing to Barnes’ drive to use green technology to create jobs, Westlawn recently won a Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program grant from the Environmental Protection Agency. Recently, Mandela has worked with other members of the assembly to introduce gun laws that are “sensible - not tougher – to regulate dangerous weapons in our communities.” Mandela Barnes’ election win, his activism, community involvement and engagement in the solutions process for the 11th district (and the city), is crying out in disappointment over past leadership. Barnes’ is committed to working together and engaging in civil communication to bridge gaps and erase labels that keep communities from achieving progress together.

Black homicides (Continued from pg. 3) their risk for intimate partner homicide.’ “A 2003 study about the risks of firearms in the home found that females living with a gun in the home were nearly three times more likely to be murdered than females with no gun in the home. Finally, another study reports, women who were murdered were more likely, not less likely, to have purchased a handgun in the three years prior to their deaths, again invalidating the idea that a handgun has a protective effect against homicide.” The September report noted, “The disproportionate burden of fatal and nonfatal violence borne by black females has almost always been overshadowed by the roll violence has taken on black males.” It stated, “Compared to a black male, a black female is far more likely to be killed by her spouse, an intimate acquaintance, or a family member than by a stranger. Where the relationship could be determined, 94 percent of black females killed by males in single victim/single offender incidents knew their killers (414 out of 442). Nearly 15 times as many black females were murdered by a male they knew (414 victims) than were killed by male strangers (28 victims) in single victim/ single offender incidents in 2010.

“Of black victims who knew their offenders, 64 percent (267 out of 414) were wives, common-law wives, ex-wives, or girlfriends of the offenders. Ninety-three percent (463 out of 499) of the homicides of black females were intra-racial.” The January study on Black homicides by the Violence Policy Center provided a state-by-state breakdown of Black homicide rates. “Missouri ranked first as the state with the highest black homicide victimization rate,” the report stated. “Its rate of 34.72 per 100,000 was nearly double the national average for black homicide victims.” Following Missouri, in order, were: Michigan (30.21 per 100,000), Pennsylvania (28.30), Oklahoma (27.96), Louisiana (26.33), Indiana (25.84), Tennessee (23.01), Wisconsin (22.71), California (22.33) and Nevada (21.06). Although other states had a high number of Black homicides – Maryland (331), Georgia (350), Illinois (360), New York (439), Texas (450) and California (548) – their rate of homicides did not land them among the top 10. “Blacks in the United States are disproportionately affected by homicide. For the year 2009, blacks represented 13 percent of the nation’s population, yet accounted for 47 percent of all homicide victims,” the report stated. “… the devastation homicide inflicts on black teens and adults is a national crisis, yet it is all too often ignored outside of affected communities.”

The Counseling Corner

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

Setting limits and boundaries (Week 2) Do you have problems setting boundaries with friends? Do you have a hard time telling people “no?” Boundaries are necessary as they let you know how far you can go with comfort in a relationship and it also lets you know where your psychological and physical space ends and the other person’s begins. Knowing how far you can go with comfort is vital for establishing intimacy and trust in relationships (whether personal or professional). This week we will help you recognize when boundaries are being breached and then offer tips for setting limits and boundaries with friends, compliments of “How to Set Boundaries With Family and Friends” by Coral Levang. Let’s begin by asking yourself some questions: How does your friend cross boundaries with you? Does he/she call too much? Does he/she criticize you? Do they stop by at the wrong time? Look at your own behavior and ask if you do any of the same things: Do you

call even when you know it is a bad time? Do you act overly critical? When you start to acknowledge where you’ve gone wrong in your own behavior, you can start to understand how you have set standards by which your friends treat you. Start by asking yourself what standards you would like to create for yourself. Do you need to take back your time? Do you need more time alone? Plan a time every day where you don’t answer the telephone, email or text message. If your friend complains, you can explain that you were busy. You don’t owe him/her a full explanation. Everybody deserves to have time to themselves. Give yourself permission to take 20 minutes to yourself every day. It will take your friends some getting used to, but after a week or two, add 20 more minutes to your alone time —no phone calls, emails or texts. Keep adding alone time to your schedule in graduated 20-minute segments until you have the privacy time you need.

Be treated with respect. When your friend insults you, tell them immediately that you do not appreciate the way they are speaking with you. You are immediately letting them know that you are raising the standards with which you want to be treated. This will not only improve your own self-esteem, but will also improve the way with which your children and other family members see you are willing to be treated. Your friend may react in one of two ways. They may immediately apologize, or may holler at you for defending

yourself. If they do holler immediately cease communication until they apologize. Do not retaliate with criticism. Notice the benefits. When you start taking care of yourself, you will notice some benefits. First, you will stop taking on other people’s bad moods. It is easy to fall into a habit of getting stressed out over other people’s issues when you don’t take care of yourself. When you start taking care of yourself, you will feel better and you will be better able to interact with your friends when

you do interact with them. Keeping track of the positive actions you take towards creating your own boundaries will help you to remember why you took the actions to begin with, especially in the beginning when your friends are bound to react negatively to your self-protective behavior. WARNING: If at any time your friend reacts with hostility to your attempts to set boundaries, then you know they were not concerned for your interests, and you are better off without them. If they react with violence in any way, you must cease contact with them, and call the police if necessary. Next Week: Continuation The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in these articles, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer. Rather, the objective is strictly informative and educational. If you would like to contact Rev. Lester, write to her at P.O. Box 121, Brookfield, WI. 53008.

MPS, community groups seek mentors for new ‘Saving Our Sons – I will not die young’ campaign

Effort to be launched Friday – first as part of new larger initiative – targets young men of color in 10 high schools in light of community violence, academic struggles Milwaukee Public Schools and a host of community groups are seeking mentors for a new campaign aimed at supporting young men of color dubbed “Saving Our Sons – I will not die young.” “This is part of a larger initiative to increase students’ engagement in their school communities. We’re being proactive – creating school cultures in which students feel they have a vested interest,” Superintendent Gregory Thornton said. “The Saving Our Sons effort specifically is targeted at young men of color because of the alarming levels of violence in the community and the academic struggles – involving and af-

fecting these young men.” Future efforts will focus on young women and expanding the existing student leadership initiatives that have been successful in a handful of MPS schools. The Saving Our Sons effort — which will be launched at 10 a.m. on Friday, January 11 at the Coffee Makes You Black coffee shop, 2803 N. Teutonia Avenue, Milwaukee 53206 — is focused on increasing attendance, academic achievement and school engagement of at-risk students of color, while reducing suspension and incident rates. 100 Black Men of Milwaukee is offering training for

volunteer mentors. Interested mentors are welcome to attend the event to learn more and/or sign up online for the training at: http:// mps100.eventbrite.com. Questions can be directed to Heather Aschoff, MPS vol-

unteer coordinator, at (414) 773-9823. Through the creation of Saving Our Sons chapters at 10 MPS schools serving highschoolers – Bradley Tech, Hamilton, Morse•Marshall, North Division, Pulaski, Riverside, Rufus King, South Division, Vincent and Washington Information Technology – mentors can actively work with students by helping them transform their lives academically, socially and culturally. Flood the Hood with Dreams, Inc., will direct and facilitate each school chapter with the support of other community organizations, services and mentors.

Those that have already expressed interest in the effort include: Brotherhood of Firefighters; Greek Letter organizations; Gee’s Clippers; African World Festival group; Milwaukee Bucks; Running Rebels; Milwaukee Common Council President Willie Hines and Aldermen Joe Davis, Ashanti Hamilton and Willie Wade; Fatherhood Initiative; Earl Ingram; Eric Von; Peace for Change Alliance, Inc.; Pitts Funeral Home; Dr. Decoteau Irby; the University of WisconsinMilwaukee; numerous faithbased partners; and Milwaukee County Supervisors David Bowen, Nikiya Harris and Russell Stamper II.

Black Fact Oscar Devereaux M i cheaux, w h o lived f r o m January 2, 1884 to March 25, 1951 was was an American author, film director and independent producer. He produced more than 44 films. The Lincoln Motion Picture Company produced films for a short time but it was the first major Black owned motion picture company and Oscar Devereaux Micheaux was known as the most successful AfricanAmerican filmmaker of the first half of the twentieth century. He was also known as the most prominent producer of race films. The fifth of eleven children, Oscar Micheaux’s grandparents and parents had been slaves. Micheaux worked in an auto factory,

a coal mine, and as a porter, gradually saving enough from his meager wages to buy a small farmstead in virtually all-white South Dakota, where a drought drove him bankrupt. He wrote of his adventures in several books which he published himself, most notably The Homesteader, and in 1919, with no motion picture experience, he filmed his novel on location in South Dakota — the first feature film made for black audiences by an all-black cast and crew. With that film’s success, Micheaux became a moviemaker for the rest of his life, making at least 44 independent action films, dramas, and mysteries that were virtually unseen and unknown to white audiences but drew a steady and profitable box office at about 400 black-owned theaters in America, and in “midnight shows” for black audiences in white-owned theaters.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Resolve to be financially secure in 2013 When it comes to making New Year’s resolutions, getting into good shape financially ranks right up there with losing weight and eating healthier. All three goals require discipline and planning; and, as you’ve no doubt experienced, it’s not unusual to encounter setbacks along the way. Don’t let losing a minor

battle here or there convince you to surrender on the bigger war. You’ll probably have more success if you start out taking small steps, learning from your mistakes and gaining momentum as you go. Here are a few suggestions for better managing your personal finances in the New Year: The first step on the road

to financial health is to create a budget you can live with. If you’re new to budgeting or haven’t been successful in the past, start slowly. For a few months write down every cent you spend: mortgage/rent, utilities, food, gas, medical copayments, credit card interest – the works. You’ll be surprised where you money goes.

At the same time, compare money coming in (income) to money going out (expenses). If you’re just breaking even or losing money each month, you need to boost your income and/or aggressively trim spending. Try these strategies: • Pay bills on time and send at least the minimum amount due. You’ll avoid late fees

The best reward for saving money is...well, more money. S.T.A.R.T. is the automatic savings plan that lets you save at your own pace. Save $1,000 and you’ll earn a $50 U.S. Bank Rewards Visa® Card. Keep the balance for a year and earn another $50 U.S. Bank Rewards Visa Card. And now saving money has never been more rewarding. U.S. Bank was named “Best Basic Checking and Savings” by MONEY® Magazine, October 2012. Start today!

Enrollment is required. A qualifying transfer from your Package Checking account to your Package Money Market Savings account must be scheduled and maintained. You must open and/or maintain an active U.S. Bank Package, including a Silver, Gold or Platinum Checking account AND a Money Market Savings account. Program is subject to change. See the S.T.A.R.T. Program Agreement for detailed information. The U.S. Bank Rewards Visa Card cannot be reloaded with additional funds, nor can it be used at an ATM. Terms and conditions apply and other fees may apply to Rewards Cards.

and related interest rate increases; plus, you’ll improve your credit score. • Balance your checking account regularly and use in-network ATMs to avoid overdrafts and fees. • If your employer offers flexible spending accounts, use them to pay health and dependent care expenses with pretax dollars. • Raise insurance deductibles and shop around for better rates. Once you start reducing expenses, use the savings to pay down debts more quickly. Try making a table of all outstanding credit card and loan balances and their corresponding interest rates. Then, each month pay the minimum amount due on each – except pay as much as possible on the account with the highest interest rate. Once that one’s paid off, move to the next-highest rate account and so on. Another smart move is to have an emergency fund in case of financial upheaval (layoff, medical emergency, unexpected car repairs, etc.) Ideally you should save enough to cover six months’ of expenses, but don’t be discouraged if that sounds insurmountable. Start slowly by saving a few dollars each week. You won’t miss it and your little nest egg might just save you from needing an expensive short-term loan to cover an unplanned bill. If something terrible happened to you, would your family be protected financially? Make sure you have a valid will, durable power of attorney, health care proxy and living will. Numerous books, online articles and sample forms are available if you want to draft them yourself, but you should probably review your documents with a financial advisor or attorney to avoid potential legal problems. Also, make sure you have adequate life and disability insurance. It’s debatable how much Social Security will be able to contribute toward your retirement income in coming decades, so if you’re not already participating in your employer’s 401(k) plan or an IRA, make that one of your top financial resolutions. Sticking to resolutions is never easy – if it were, we’d already be doing them. But striving to improve your financial situation now will pay off big-time down the road.

BloodCenter of Wisconsin hosts faith-based and healthcare community celebration luncheon Community event to honor African American donorship winning congregation was invited to select a church member to receive a $1,500 college scholarship from BloodCenter of Wisconsin. The winning congregations are: New Testament Church, St. Matthew CME Church and Living Waters Church of God in Christ. WISN-TV’s Portia Young will emcee the event. Bishop Darrell Hines, founder and pastor of Christian Faith Fellowship Church, will be the keynote speaker. Other speakers include Angela Gill, advocate for sickle cell anemia; and Richard Rogers, 2011 heart recipient and pastor of Living Waters Church of God in Christ. Attendees of the Celebration will receive specially designed materials to share the message about the im-

portance of donorship with congregations and health care organizations in the community. All participating churches will be recognized and appreciated at the Celebration for their support of BloodCenter of Wisconsin’s live-saving mission. It is vital for African Americans to become donors of not just blood, but also marrow, organs and tissue, so that other African Americans have a better chance at recovery. The success rate of transfusions and transplants increase when these gifts come from members of the same ethnic background. “When African Americans donate, African Americans live” is the ongoing theme of the Faith-Based Community Challenge.

BloodCenter of Wisconsin will host the Faith-Based and Healthcare Community Celebration luncheon on Wednesday, January 30, 2013, at noon. It will be held at Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, 325 W. Walnut Street. The Community Celebration will honor African American donorship, which allows an individual to give the highly personal and unique gifts of blood, marrow, organs and tissue. BloodCenter will recognize the winners of the 2012 Faith-Based Community Challenge at the luncheon. The Challenge encouraged friendly competition among area African American churches to inspire members to become blood donors, or to join the marrow and organ/tissue registries. Each

Black stroke survivors face greater risk from high blood pressure A recent study showed that African Americans who survived strokes caused by bleeding in the brain were more likely than whites to have high blood pressure a year later – increasing their risk of another stroke, according to a study in the American Heart Association journal "Stroke." The study examined racial and ethnic differences in these strokes, called intracranial hemorrhage or ICH. They account for only 10 percent of all strokes but have a death rate of about 40 percent in the first month, much higher than other types of stroke. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor associated with bleeding stroke. “If you have already had a stroke, blood pressure treatment can reduce your chance of having another stroke by between 25 and 50 percent,” said Darin B. Zahuranec, M.D., M.S., lead author of the study and assistant professor of neurology at the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center in Ann Arbor. However, more than half of patients in the study still had high blood pressure a year after the stroke, despite taking one or more antihypertensive medications. There were no significant racial differences 30 days after ICH. But a year later, 63 percent of blacks had hypertension, compared with 38 percent of whites, despite taking more blood pressure medications. The study was conducted at Georgetown University

Medical Center and included 162 patients (average age 59, 77 percent black, 53 percent male) in Washington, D.C. The study was too small to identify which factors may explain the racial differences. However, Zahuranec said two social factors were the only independent predictors

of lower blood pressure at follow-up: patients who were married rather than single, and those that lived in a facility rather than a private residence had lower blood pressure. “Blood pressure is not just about taking medications,” Zahuranec said. “Patients can have a very large impact on blood pressure control by making changes to diet and exercise habits, and with weight loss. We need to do more for our patients to help them get their blood pressure under control.”

Black stroke survivors risk from high blood pressure

Toys for Children that Santa Forgot… Hupy and Abraham, S.C., and CYD have reached over 25,000 children Hupy and Abraham, S.C. made a donation to the “Toys for Children that Santa Forgot but God Remembered” giveaway event. The event was held by Career Youth Development (CYD) on December 27, 2012 at North Division High School. The 28th annual “Toys for Children that Santa Forgot but God Remembered” program was done in remembrance of the Lil Netta, CYD founder Jeannetta Robinson’s granddaughter, who was discovered giving away her birthday presents to children who attended her birthday party. “The children told me they hadn’t received any toys for Christmas and since I received toys both for Christmas and my birthday, I decided to give some of mine away.” To date, CYD and partners such as Hupy

and Abraham, S.C. have preserved Lil Netta’s mission, restoring joy to over 25,000 children who, for whatever reason, did not receive a Christmas gift. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Attorney Timothy W. Schelwat attended the event on behalf of the law firm. Attorney Schelwat spent the afternoon helping groups of children pick out their holiday gifts. He also discussed the importance of contributing to the community that we live in, especially during the holiday season, in a brief interview with CYD executive director Charles Walton. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. has contributed to CYD for over a decade. Hupy and Abraham, S.C., is a personal injury law firm offering a proven record of success with large settlements in serious cases.

Special Features: A Tribute to MLK

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the civil rights movement and fought for racial equality with something much stronger than tolerance (part 1 of 2) By Charles Gilmer The lingering vestiges of America's racist past present a serious challenge to the hope that many hold for a nation that lives out its most cherished values - liberty and justice for all. Persistent recurrences of racial incidents such as Jena, LA, remind us that hatred and animosity still fester. Suspicion lurks under the surface of many interactions. Even the government's response to Hurricane Katrina is often criticized as manifesting discernible racial discrepancies. Movies like "Crash," and the news coverage of the Duke University lacrosse team sex-party debacle, and even the prospect of a Black presidential nominee in the 2008 election remind us of the tenuous and fragile nature of racial harmony in the United States of America. We seem to live under an uneasy truce. It has been four and a half decades since the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered. Yet none of us can say we have fully lived up to Dr. King's vision of a land where

each person would be judged by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin. Tensions continue, and weekly we hear of yet another incident somewhere in our country where race is presented as a precipitating factor. Things are different today than they were 45 years ago. Yet the questions remains; why has it been so difficult for us to embrace and consistently live out Dr. King's dream? What has become of Martin Luther King's dream? In the wake of the civil rights movement in which Dr. King was so dramatically used, there came a flood of social programs that sought to address the causes and consequences of racism. Cultural education, cross cultural dialogue, and the current multi-culturalism all hearken back to the civil rights movement for their mandates. In the pursuit of the rights of various groups, under the civil rights umbrella, one thing has become clear. That which was called right by one group is often called wrong by another. Rather than resolving the differences, tol-

erance is championed as the appropriate response to the varying perspectives that have emerged. Yet tolerance has no cohesive nor healing power in society. It means little more than leaving one another alone. It leads to indifference, not understanding. Tolerance allows the gulfs between us to remain in place. In fact, there is little in the concept of tolerance to pull us away from racial isolation.

Tolerance brings with it an implicit moral relativism. Who is to say what is right and what is wrong? Moral relativism suggests that there are no absolutes to which we can all be held accountable. Such a thing was far from the thinking of Martin Luther King. In one of his works Dr. King made the following statements: "At the center of the Christian faith is the affirmation that there is a God

in the universe who is the ground and essence of all reality. A Being of infinite love and boundless power, God is the creator, sustainer, and conserver of values....In contrast to the ethical relativism of [totalitarianism], Christianity sets forth a system of absolute moral values and affirms that God has placed within the very structure of this universe certain moral principles that are fixed and immutable." Dr. King did not speak in terms of tolerance. His ideal was love. "Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." (Strength to Love, p. 51) Yet, in current discussions of race relations the word love is seldom mentioned. Dr. King insisted love was the dominant or critical value by which we could overcome racial strife. The love he spoke of was a biblical love, one that is unconditional, unselfish and seeks the absolute good of another party. That kind of love is a tough love, one that confronts wrong and injustice with the truth -- absolute truth as decreed by an all powerful God and enables the individual to love their enemy.

By The Late Coretta Scott King Special to the Milwaukee Times Reprint from 1985, during the passage of the King Holiday bill by the U.S. Senate. We have set in motion a great celebration of freedom and justice, in honor of America’s hero and patriot, Martin Luther King, Jr. When Martin began his career, the principles of social justice for which he stood were very controversial. But by the end of his career he was a widely respected leader of international stature, who helped lead an extraordinary revolution in America’s laws and customs. Martin’s moving example of dignity in the face of threats and hatred gave the whole nation a new hero to admire and emulate. Martin knew that America’s democracy was not perfect. But he also knew that, when aroused, America’s conscience could be a powerful force for reform. His unique combination of moral leadership and practical political wisdom enlisted America’s conscience on the side of peaceful change. His memory is engraved in the hearts and minds of his fellow Americans, and it is appropriate, as the President and the Congress have said, to remember and honor the values for which he

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

stood. Each year, Martin’s national birthday celebration will rekindle in the hearts of all our people a new pride in America, a determination to make it an even greater nation. It will also spark a new appreciation for its son, who was born into a world where bigotry and racism still hold sway. But before he died, he contributed immeasurably to the human rights of all people. In my travels to the 50 states and U.S. territories as chairperson of the King Federal Holiday Commission, I find that Americans from all walks of life and every political persuasion share a common enthusiasm and excitement as we prepare to celebrate what has been called by President Reagan “A Celebration of Freedom and Justice to Unite All Our Citizens.” There is a spirit of unity and good will sweeping this land. People of all races,religions, classes, politics and stations in life are coming together and putting aside differences in a spirit of reconciliation to make Monday, January 20, 1985 “Martin’s Day,” a day of great national unity and renewed patriotism consistent with the non-violent tradition of the man we prepare

The late Coretta Scott King to honor. It was not too long ago that Martin painted a vivid picture of what an America united would look like...an America in which all children could grow up to realize their full potential. January 20, 1985 must be seen as a way to reflect that vision, a way to celebrate the life and legacy of a man with a dream for all seasons. The special recognition accorded Martin by the American people provides a unique opportunity for all Americans to reaffirm their faith in nonviolence at a time when violence in all its ugly forms seems to be a way of life. It also gives Americans a special moment to reaffirm

their support for Martin’s beloved community and for the values that distinguish our republic in this troubled world. The commission has chosen “Living the Dream” as its theme for the birthday celebration. We see “Martin’s Day” - the third Monday of each year - as: ...a day to celebrate the life and dream of Martin Luther King Jr... ...a day to reaffirm the American ideals of freedom, justice and opportunity for all... ...a day for love, not hate; for understanding, not anger; for peace, not war... ...a day for the family to share together, to reach out to relatives and friends and to mend broken relationships... ...a day when people of all races, religions, classes and stations in life put aside their differences and join in a spirit of togetherness... ...a day for our nation to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., who awakened in us the best qualities of the American spirit... ...a day for nations of the world to cease all violent actions, seek non-violent solutions and demonstrate that peace is not just a dream but a real possibility, if only for one day.

We have come too far to be discouraged or to lose hope or to stop believing in the dream. If we believe in the justice for which he died, if we embrace his dream of a community where we can all come to love and care for one another, we will strive to complete his unfinished agenda, we will make his unfinished work our own. Let us be grateful for the providence that sends among us men and women with the courage and vision to stand peacefully but unyieldingly for what is right. Let us also make this a time when we rededicate ourselves to carry on the work of justice. Martin showed how much good a single life, well led, can accomplish. Let Americans honor his memory by pledging in their own lives to do everything they can to make America a place where his dream of freedom and brotherhood and sisterhood will grow up and flourish and we can all be proud to sing with new meaning, “From every mountainside, Let freedom ring.” Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was chairperson of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission and President of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. She died in 2006.

‘I Have A Dream’ - address at The March on Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963 I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no

time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees

of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the

difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor’s lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be ex-

alted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.” And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

A parent’s job: Keeping kids healthy, happy and safe By Dr. Culhane, Chief Medical Officer of Molina Healthcare Today’s parents hold different philosophies on topics from discipline to education, but all parents can agree that they want to do everything possible to keep their children healthy, happy and safe. Though these are broad goals, there are very specific things that parents can do to attain them and give their kids the best start possible in life. 1. Vaccinate. Though some question the importance of routine childhood vaccinations, a review of medical evidence demonstrates that vaccines are responsible for preventing diseases that traditionally sicken and kill children. The single best way to protect your children from potentially

life-threatening disease is to follow the routine vaccination schedule recommended by your health care provider. Most public schools require immunization as a prerequisite to enrollment, so it is important to stay abreast of your state or district’s requirements.

2. Eat meals as a family and play. Estimates indicate that childhood obesity has more than tripled since 1980. Children who are overweight are at risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint problems, and a wide range of psychological issues. Plan and eat meals

together as a family, get children involved in choosing foods and making meals, and educate yourselves about the benefits and downfalls of different foods. Another way to help kids maintain a healthy lifestyle is to get them moving physically – play with them! Limit television and computer time to no more than two hours daily, and get outside with your kids. 3. Dental care. Our children’s teeth often take the backseat in their health care. It is important to keep their smiles in mind and begin brushing their gums at 6 months. As they grow out teeth, teach them how to properly brush and start taking them to the dentist at 2 years old. 4. Practice safety. According to the CDC, airway obstruction is the leading

cause of death among infants under age one. For kids one to 14, the most common cause of death is drowning, and falls are the leading cause of injury for children in this age group. Almost 45 percent of unintentional injury deaths occur in or around the home. Practice common sense and safety by using car seats and high chairs for babies, and by keeping small objects and cords away from babies and toddlers. With older kids, discuss fire safety, poison, guns and kitchen safety. Being a parent is a big responsibility, and it isn’t a job to be taken lightly. Molina Healthcare offers a variety of resources for parents to help keep kids fit and safe. Check out www.MolinaHeartsHealth.com for more information.
