Community leaders seek answers for deceptive practices at Westlawn Gardens By: Raina J. Johnson Special to The Milwaukee Times

Leaders from the religious, civic and business community held a press conference at Greater Mt. Sinai Church of God In Christ (COGIC) on Monday, September 30, 2013 to express their dissatisfaction with the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee for not adhering to federal guidelines in contracting and hiring practices during the first phase of the $82-million Westlawn Housing project. The Rev. Willie Brisco, president of Milwaukee Inner City Allied for Hope (MICAH), said the project failed to utilize minority contractors and hire low-income individuals from the community. Now after the favorable findings of HUD, Rev. Brisco said city leaders are now ready to sit down for a conversation.

Deception, denial and questions without answers. Those were some of the phrases used Monday, September 30, 2013 as members from the faith, lay and political communities stood together demanding answers regarding a review of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The review found that the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) did not follow federal regulations in their hiring practices of low-income and minority workers on the $82 million revitalization of Westlawn Housing Project. The review was prompted by a complaint from the Milwaukee Inner-city Congregations Allied for Hope (MICAH). On Monday, a news conference was held at Greater Mt. Sinai Church of God in Christ (COGIC), across the street from the

newly developed Westlawn Gardens. MICAH president Rev. Willie E. Brisco spoke candidly about the failures of this project in terms of hiring minority contractors and low-income individuals from the neighborhood as workers. “This esthetic beauty that you’re seeing belies a whole lot of wrongs that have been done in this community. We stand today, not claiming victory but saying this is just an ongoing process to peel back this onion of deception that has happened in this process. "The Section 3, the Westlawn set-aside those things that were supposed to provide an economic boost to this community - that wasn’t done. The hiring of contractors, the hiring of residents, the hiring of individuals within this community who are unemployed, who are untrained that should have benefited from this project, none of that happened.” (Continued on pg. 3)

State lawmakers hold forum on gun violence By: Raina J. Johnson Special to The Milwaukee Times

Our nation has been no stranger to a rash of mass shootings, from a Connecticut elementary school, and Chicago playgrounds to the Washington D.C. Naval Yard, gun violence and gun laws have been on the minds of everyone including Congress members and President Obama. This is a divisive and fiercely debated subject no matter to whom you talk, on either side of the aisle and in any part of the county. On a local level, Milwaukee this summer especially has seen an increase in gun vio-

lence. As of October 2, 2013, the year-to-date total number of homicides climbed up to 81. Understanding how violence of any kind impacts our community in many areas, Milwaukee-area state lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, decided to host a Community Forum on Gun Violence. The forum was moderated by community activist Earl Ingram, Jr., on September 17, 2013 at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society, 2620 W. Center Street. About 50 residents and community leaders were (Continued pg. 2)

Working for Wisconsin: Governor Scott Walker announces workforce development initiatives for legislative session Madison – On Wednesday, September 25, 2013, Governor Scott Walker announced workforce development priorities for the upcoming 2013-14 legislative session. The Governor’s priorities will be focused on growing our economy, developing our workforce, transforming education, and reforming government. The package of eight workforce development bills are the first in the Governor’s legislative agenda and further announcements will be made in the future. “These bills build on the near $100-million workforce development investment in our budget,” said Governor Walker. “We look forward to working with legislators on these bipartisan bills aimed at getting workers the skills

necessary to fill available jobs through apprenticeship and additional funding for workers with special needs.” The workforce development package will invest an additional $8.5-million in new state funds and secure an additional $14-million in new federal funds for vocational rehabilitation programs. The 2013-15 Biennial Budget invested more than $100- million in workforce development aimed at equipping workers with the skills they need to find jobs in the modern workforce, including targeted investments in the Wisconsin Technical College System and traditional K-12 education. In addition, the Wisconsin Fast Forward initiative invests $15-million

Representative Barnes and other lawmakers are committed to finishing the hard work that needs to be completed to reduce crime in our city. A joint release was issued in early August from State Senator Nikiya Harris and State Representatives Mandela Barnes, LaTonya Johnson, and Evan Goyke. “We call on our colleagues to work swiftly, and in a bipartisan fashion, to pass muchneeded legislation in the upcoming fall session that will tackle this issue head-on,” they said.

Rake your leaves into the street beginning October 1

City of Milwaukee residents may start raking leaves into the curb lanes starting Tuesday, October 1, 2013. City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) sanitation crews will begin collecting the leaves on Monday, October 14. Leaf collection will end on Wednesday, November 27. Leaves and brush, along with other yard waste, are banned from landfills and must not be placed in garbage or recycling carts. DPW collects leaves, brush and yard waste separately from garbage and composts, which conserves natural resources while saving the City money. Residents are also

encouraged to mulch leaves, and leave grass clippings on the lawn. This saves time and money, and adds nutrients to the soil. Tips for a successful fall leaf collection: • Keep leaves away from storm drains in the street. • Keep piles away from sewer grates. • Place garden debris on top of leaf piles. • Do not put leaves in plastic bags. • Do not put leaves in garbage carts. • Do not put brush into the street – call 286-CITY (2489) through November for a pick-up.

• Getting state licensees tested, trained, and to work faster; • Helping low-income and low-skilled workers transition into employment; • Tuition reimbursement for apprentices and employers.

Ella Jean Washington, noted music teacher and director, dies Ella Jean Washington, well known Milwaukee music teacher and director, died Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at the age of 74 at Froedtert Hospital. Ms. Washington graduated from North Division High School and UW-Milwaukee with bachelor and masters degrees. She taught at North Division High School, Robert Fulton and John Burroughs Middle Schools prior to becoming a Music Supervisor in 1969. As a Music Supervisor, she was the first African American to direct the Milwaukee Public Schools Biennial Music Festival of up to 1,800 voices from 1969 to 1990. She was also an Assistant Principal at Rufus King and North Division High Schools. She was the founder and artistic director of The Heritage Chorale of Milwaukee for twenty-eight years.

We will miss you, Ella.

Rev. Joseph Ellwanger, representing the Gamaliel Foundation, the national organization that is connected with MICAH, said: “There was a total lack of intentionality on the part of the local officials, and of HACM to make sure that some people in this housing project were lifted out of poverty and so we are very concerned and committed to seeing that the second phase of Westlawn is not a repeat performance of the first.” The Milwaukee Branch NAACP released a statement regarding the HUD Section 3 compliance review. Milwaukee NAACP Branch president James Hall said: “Section 3 is a provision that requires recipients of HUD funds to provide training, employment and contracting opportunities to low income and very low income residents as well as businesses that are owned by or employ such individuals. HACM received over $230-million from HUD between 2009 and 2012, including over $60-million in connection with the Westlawn Project.” Rev. Willie Brisco concluded saying, “HUD implemented Section 3 in 1968; if they are in error now, what did they do then? We, as MI-

CAH and as organizations standing here today, will not rest or relent until someone gives us the answers we’re looking for.” Paul Williams, a spokesperson for HACM said, “HUD’s review of our Section 3 program acknowledged that we acted in good faith to achieve Section 3 goals. The review addressed concerns about procedures but not our intent to provide work opportunities for low-income Milwaukeekeans.” Milwaukee Branch president Hall, who is also an

attorney, has filed a complaint with the United States Department of Justice. In the complaint, the NAACP pointed out the fact that the City has failed to develop and implement an effective participation program, notwithstanding that it has spent approximately a million dollars over the past 25 years on disparity studies. Ald. Joe Davis, speaking at the press conference on Monday, offered some solutions to the disparities faced by minorities in our community. “I would ask the Mayor to appoint someone from MICAH or its representative to the Housing Authority board. Our monitoring component needs to be solid. African American contractors will hire African American males. It’s not that they don’t have the skills, they are asking for an opportunity,” Ald.

Davis said. He continued, “As a city official I accept personal responsibility for what occurred at Westlawn” but said he is hopeful that a resolution can be found. Jim Gaillard, owner of Pyramid Electric, a contractor who sought an opportunity as a contractor at Westlawn has been in the trades for over 32 years, said, "We need to change the way the system goes; we don’t want to be the ones that just buy the parts and don’t get any labor.” His company placed bids on three electrical packages and negotiated about $32,000 out of the project. There were qualified candidates looking to work at the Westlawn Gardens site. Clarence Coats was one of the candidates who said he inquired about available job opportunities but was told there were no jobs available, and was denied all opportunities for employment. With unemployment in the central city at a crisis level, approaching 60 percent for black males, State Representative Mandela Barnes said, “I won’t say that the Westlawn redevelopment would have ended poverty in Milwaukee, but it would have been a step in the right direction. It could have been a model for the rest of the nation on how to put minorities to work. Nobody wanted a handout, they wanted an opportunity.” Phase Two of the Westlawn Gardens is not scheduled yet, and Williams added, “We’re moving forward with HUD to achieve Section 3 in the future.”

Open letter to health reform advocates: Pay attention to discrimination By Robert Espinoza, Senior Director, Public Policy and Communications, Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE) The harms inflicted by discrimination reveal themselves in our bodies as we age -- as people of color, as poor and low-income people, and as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. The symptoms manifest as higher rates of high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, HIV/ AIDS, depression, social isolation and more. In medical charts throughout the country, our bodies record what it means to survive a life shaped by perpetual poverty, higher concentrations in low-wage jobs with no health insurance, thin retirement options and inadequate protections in the workplace. They depict our fractured relationships to health care -- from cultural and linguistic barriers to overt bias and discrimination from health and

aging providers; to a longheld, hard-earned distrust of medical staff internalized through years of differential treatment. Our bodies confirm vividly the geographic dimensions of structural inequality, which can predict long-term health as early as childhood, based largely on where a person is born. We inhale the poison of inequality throughout our lives, and it inflames in our later years as a dismal diagnosis, a medical crisis or a preventable death. Yes, severe illness will surprise many of us at some point in our lives, and death is indiscriminate, but as em-

pirical fact, poor health affects certain demographics disproportionately at earlier and higher rates, often the same people with no health coverage to manage the repercussions. October 1 aims to begin reversing these conditions. The health insurance marketplace established through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) offers opportunities to shop for state health insurance plans and begins improving coverage for the 47 million uninsured people in this country. Millions of people work in jobs with no health coverage, cannot afford insurance on their own

and fall through gaps in public support that leave them uninsured or underinsured. Without insurance, people accrue unmanageable debt, delay health care and in turn watch their health worsen over time -- a trajectory most often experienced by people of color, LGBT people and low-income people. These hardships intensify for older people who must also contend with age-related bias in the workplace and the challenges of paying for out-ofpocket expenses with meager incomes. An all-inclusive vision of health reform must incorporate the realities of aging as early as age 50. Advocates are correct in lauding the ACA for striving to improve the health and wellness of people of color, LGBT people and older people in particular. People of color make up half of the non-elderly uninsured in this country, which means that efforts to expand coverage -- through the insurance marketplace and the Med-

icaid expansion -- should largely benefit people of color. Additionally, the ACA contains protections that forbid health insurers from denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on pre-existing conditions such as HIV, which disproportionately affects LGBT people and people of color, or based on a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. Seniors too have seen lower drug costs and enhanced services through the ACA. More broadly, the ACA has enacted large-scale initiatives to reduce health disparities by improving data collection on LGBT people, as well as seeding the Institute of Minority Health, which will improve our understanding of racial disparities in health, a reality pronounced among LGBT people, older people , and people of color, according to a recent report. Yet will Obamacare truly tackle these institutional in(Continued on pg 4)

Country first By Michael A. Hardy General Counsel/EVP, National Action Network It's always interesting to delve into the meaning of slogans. "Country First" was the slogan that was used by Arizona Senator John McCain during his 2008 presidential campaign. It is a good sounding slogan. Country First, on its face, should mean what is best for the nation as a whole. As we approach a government shutdown just after midnight on Tuesday, October 1, 2013 many of those that are trying to hold the nation hostage over the implementation of Obamacare would do well to think about Country First. Most analysts predict that a government shutdown would affect more than 800,000 federal workers who are classified as nonessential and could be furloughed, including many D.C. local government workers. Many more would face various other consequences. Those affected also tend to be those who are most vulnerable to delayed paychecks. That is, Americans who really can't afford to be without their pay for even short periods of time. A government shutdown would likewise affect citizens who may have need to access those government services deemed to be nonessential. October 1 is also the date that the Obamacare health insurance marketplaces go into effect. It is well established that close to 50 million Americans are without health insurance and could

Pay attention (Continued from pg. 3) equities embedded in health care? The outcomes of that question are uncertain. Health analysts estimate that the Medicaid expansions under ACA would cover an additional 13 million people, largely people of color; yet 22 states have currently opted not to broaden Medicaid, which leaves uninsured six in 10 eligible people, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Advocates are also encouraging consumers with serious medical problems to proceed with caution when purchasing insurance plans through their state exchanges, which vary significantly across states. For example, people with HIV need plans that cover their current providers and medications at af-

not afford it prior to the Affordable Care Act becoming the law of the land. These millions of Americans, many who work every day but still can't afford medical care, will now have the opportunity to obtain care at rates which will be affordable to them. Ironically, the so-called individual mandate that is going into effect under Obamacare was an idea that Republicans first introduced. It would be good for the nation, so they argued. Now, because it has become the signature act of President Barack Obama, Country First, has less meaning. Indeed, those that are opposed to Obamacare would rather see the Country fail, than to be first. The Marketplace going into effect on October 1 will allow those millions of Americans who use to worry about getting sick or even getting a check-up to avoid getting sick will now have access to find quality health insurance. There is nothing about the Affordable Care Act that is un-American or not in the nation's best interests. Less than a week ago, Texas Senator Ted Cruz launched into a 21-hour statement in the Senate opposing Obamacare. In light of the urgent need for millions of Americans to have access to affordable health care, the need for the government to operate efficiently, and most important the demand by so many citizens that Washington get its act together, all Republican Senator Cruz could offer was Green Eggs and Ham. Country First, please. fordable rates. These plans also necessitate careful coordination with AIDS Drug Assistance Programs; yet, AIDS advocates are dubious that state plans have undertaken this coordination and are encouraging people with HIV to “slow down” before obtaining new plans. Additionally, some reports suggest that the cost of monthly premiums for some might outweigh the subsidies offered by ACA, which would deny coverage to a percentage of moderate-income people. Finally, it's unclear whether mainstream consumer health advocates are sufficiently partnering with local organizations rooted in communities of color and LGBT communities to reach those who are most at risk of being uninsured. And have local groups led by and for marginalized communities

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

Making it happen We have all heard it said once in a while that there are a lot of great ideas out there. Of course that is the problem…“they are out there.” First of all, where is 'out there'? Secondly, who is looking? And finally, what should be done? These are just a few of the questions that have to be answered. Most of us would agree with the assessment that there are a lot of things that need to get done to ensure a better future for the next generations. This is especially true for those living in urban America. This includes cleaning up the environment, rebuilding neighborhoods, creating sustainable employment, enlarging political tents, expanding health and wellness initiatives, improving educational institutions and providing better housing. And this is just a short list. If you want to make something happen, even in our been sufficiently resourced over time to devise their own outreach and enrollment efforts? The history of philanthropic giving suggests otherwise. Health reform advocates have a monumental responsibility. We must monitor the state exchanges to ensure that health coverage effectively reaches all our communities, addressing the concerns noted previously. Federal leaders could also mandate stronger cultural and linguistic competence requirements in the insurance marketplace and fund organizations based in communities of color, LGBT communities and immigrant communities to ensure appropriate involvement in ACA implementation -- especially in states where resources are thin and the politics are charged. Groups working with marginalized older people should be sufficiently resourced and engaged. And perhaps the biggest obstacle lies with states that have opted out of Medicaid, many of which are led by Republican legislatures and rooted in a long history of racial injustice. While short-term efforts should persuade these states to reverse their stances on Medicaid expansion -- thus covering millions of people who deserve better health care -- the long-term strategy will require health advocates to work closely with communities of color, LGBT people

modern society, it takes concerned people who do not mind leading people with a purpose. Today, more community based advocates are needed to help in the process to make our communities and streets better and safer. In most cases there is so much that is out of place that it does not take long to find an issue worth getting involved with. Of course, one will have to be ready to deal with pushbacks, confrontations and the misunderstanding that come as part of the reality. When cultural, institutional and business norms are being affected, the heat, temperature and risks just increase. and elders, among others, to counter the mounting neoconservative attack on the social safety net. The attack on health reform is in many ways a culture war. American democracy is its own aging body that needs constant nourishment. In or-

We all can agree that in this 21st century a lot of things need to be done for the wellbeing of our communities and nation… and to get it right. And of course, with the sheer complexity of our American society, its structures, systems of government on various levels, the broad landscape of educational institutions… change and reform are hard to take. Nicholas Butler Murray, (1863-1947), a former president of Columbia University and Nobel Peace Prize recipient in 1931, offered this insight on leadership… “there are three kinds of people; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.” The question for us today, where does each of us stand?

The Counseling Corner By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

National Domestic Violence Abuse Month (Week 1) October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence in one year alone, 12.7 million men and women in the U.S. are physically abused, raped or stalked by their partners. Let’s put it into perspective….that is approximately the number of people in New York City and Los Angeles combined! That is 24 people every minute. The Sojourner Family Peace Center in Milwaukee noted that historically, females have been most often victimized by someone they knew and that females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk for intimate partner violence. These are people you and I know. It may be your sister, daughter, aunt, mother, close friend,

brother, son, uncle or even a fellow church member that is the victim of domestic violence. It is time to end the silence and shame for good and challenge the stigma that surrounds those who are victims of domestic violence. This month we will be raising visibility and awareness of domestic violence. What is domestic violence/abuse? Domestic abuse, or “battering,” is a pattern of abuse by one partner against the other, for the purpose of maintaining power and control. Domestic abuse often includes (but NOT ALWAYS) physical abuse. Forms of domestic abuse can include: Physical battering. The abuser’s attacks or aggressive behavior can range from bruising to murder. It often begins with what is excused as trivial contacts which es-

calate into more frequent and serious attacks (this can include the abuse of household pets). Sexual abuse. Physical attack by the abuser is often accompanied by, or culminates in, sexual abuse where the woman is forced to have sexual intercourse with her abuser, or to engage in unwanted sexual activity. Psychological battering. The abuser’s psychological or mental abuse can include constant verbal abuse, harassment, excessive possessiveness, fault-finding, isolating the woman from friends and family, deprivation of physical and economic resources, and destruction of personal property. Battering intensifies. It often begins with behaviors like threats, name calling, abuse in your presence (such as punching a fist through a

wall) and/or damage to objects or pets. It may escalate to restraining, pushing, kicking, slapping, pinching, tripping, biting, throwing, or grabbing. Finally, it may become life-threatening with serious behaviors such as choking, breaking bones, or the use of deadly weapons. (Remember, ANY household item can be used as a dangerous weapon!) Children and abuse Domestic violence affects children, even if they’re just witnesses. If you have children, remember that exposure to domestic violence puts them at risk of developmental problems, psychiatric disorders, problems at school, aggressive behavior and low self-esteem. You might worry that seeking help could further endanger you and your children, or that it might break up your

family. Fathers might fear that abusive partners will try to take their children away from them. However, getting help is the best way to protect your children — and yourself. Many believe when it comes to domestic violence/ abuse, only women are victims of violence. Next week we will present signs of domestic violence against men and help them recognize signs of abuse.

The Milwaukee Collegiate Academy (formerly known as CEO Leadership Academy) is a City of Milwaukee charter high school, located at 4030 N. 29th Street. The staff and students recently moved into a new building. And these are some exciting times at the school because they are implementing the highly acclaimed

“blended learning model” and going through a tremendous transformation. The public was invited to come and share the recent investment in human capital and facilities during a recent ribbon cutting ceremony held on Wednesday, September 25, 2013.

Bango later jumped in to take some calls in the Siefert school office. MPS Photo

New Rufus King, Riverside high school principals coming back to familiar places Jennifer Smith is a graduate of Rufus King, Michael Harris graduated from Riverside

Dr. Jennifer Smith and Michael Harris may be new to their principal posts, but they are not strangers to the schools they are serving. The new principals at Milwaukee Public Schools’ Rufus King International School – High School Campus and Riverside University High School are graduates of the schools they now lead, joining the many MPS graduates who serve the community as teachers, principals and support staff. MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said the presence of MPS grads in district schools is a reflection of the critical role the school system plays in the community and the positive impact MPS has had on hundreds of thousands of children. “It’s an honor to come back to the place where I was provided so many opportunities,” said Harris, Riverside principal and a member of

the school’s graduating class of 1986. Riverside has, of course, evolved over the last 27 years. The school is now home to Project Lead the Way preengineering and biomedical sciences programming, for example. But Riverside’s rigorous college preparatory curriculum has not changed.

The school boasts countless Advanced Placement coursework offerings and a fouryear graduation rate above 90 percent besting both MPS and state averages. After graduating, Harris went on to college and received a master’s degree in educational leadership from Marquette University. He

began teaching at Lincoln Center of the Arts Middle School in 1997, eventually becoming an assistant principal in the School District of Menomonee Falls and later a principal in the MequonThiensville School District before being named principal at Riverside this year. “Being in the building now brings back a lot of positive memories of community and celebrating diversity,” the Riverside principal said. Dr. Smith, the new Rufus King International School – High School Campus principal, graduated from the school in 1988. King’s International Baccalaureate program helped her earn enough college credits during high school to graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in three years. Dr. Smith, who earned her doctorate from Walden University, was a high school teacher in MPS before serv-

ing as principal of Milwaukee School of Languages and being named Rufus King principal this year. The International Baccalaureate program is still critical to the mission of Rufus King, which won a national ACT college and career readiness award this year and was rated the #2 high school in Wisconsin by both U.S. News and World Report and The Washington Post. “The first emotions that come to mind are pride and gratitude for the opportunity to give back,” she said. “High school was a turning point in my life and an extremely positive experience for me.” Dr. Smith has been back to the building many times since graduating, but one thing still stands out as surreal: seeing herself in Rufus King tennis team pictures that still hang on the school’s walls. “That’s the crazy part,” she said.

MPS Ronald Reagan College Prep Spanish and technology teacher Sarah Berndt was awarded the prestigious Milken Educator Award in a surprise all-school assembly Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Ms. Berndt is the only educator in Wisconsin to receive the award, called the “Oscar of Teaching,” this year and one of just a few dozen to be recognized nationwide. A nine-year MPS veteran, Ms. Berndt is an “amazing educator who inspires students, teachers and parents,” said Reagan Principal Mike Roemer. MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton was joined in presenting the award by Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Evers, Milken Educator Awards Vice President Dr. Jane Foley, Milwaukee Board of School Directors Vice President Meagan Holman and Principal Roemer.

C-A-C spells success for MPS Morehouse Mondays are highly anticipated at the MPS College Access Center (CAC) on West Fond du Lac Avenue. That’s when the “Men of Morehouse” – MPS alumni now attending the prominent all-black college in Atlanta – drop in when they’re on break from school to share their tips for success. The experience is valuable for the MPS students, says MPS Director of College and Career Readiness Rudy Ruiz. “Our students really connect with these young men,” he says. “For many, it’s the first time they are able to put a face to college success.” The MPS College Access Center at 2730 W. Fond du Lac Ave. opened its doors in fall 2011 and in its first year provided educational and counseling services to more than 500 MPS students and community members. Of the 180 high school seniors who stopped by the CAC in 2011-12, every single one of them was accepted to at least one college. With the addition of the second CAC on South 27th Street in 2012-13, the number served jumped six-fold to more than 3,500, including 934 seniors who pulled down more than $1.2 million in college scholarships. “We knew that we were providing a valuable service for MPS students,” says Ruiz. “We just didn’t expect to see such incredible results so early on. The response to the increased access and opportunity has been wonderful.” These community-based locations support the increasingly robust collegeand career-readiness efforts of Milwaukee Public Schools. “I call it a one-stop college shop,” says MPS Col-

MPS’ Pulaski and Audubon students at the second MPS CAC, which opened on the city’s south side in 2012. lege Access Coordinator Sharnissa Dunlap-Parker, who attributes much of the CAC success to the clients themselves. “This is a self-selecting population,” she says. “They want to be here.” The MPS CACs are funded by a generous three-year, $2 million grant from the Madison-based nonprofit student loan servicer Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation and Affiliates. The centers offer services and counseling designed to promote high school completion and college readiness, ensure early awareness of college, increase parent awareness and involvement in the college access process, and provide additional educational resources for academic and career planning. “Thanks to our partners at Great Lakes, we’re giving students and their families a place to come together to prepare for the future,” MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said. “So many of our students are poised to become the first members of their families to attend college. That makes this service

all the more critical.” Each CAC offers about 20 computers to facilitate the application process. The centers, which are open on evenings and weekends, help demystify the process of learning about and applying to college. Through small-group workshops and individual sessions, students become familiar with the coursework they’ll need for college, prepare to take the ACT, select and apply to colleges, and get a handle on critical financial aid resources and other supports. While the CACs are managed and staffed by MPS, they operate as community centers, open to anyone. CAC staff members work to ensure students and community members as young as 10 years old know that college is accessible to everyone. “Some kids come in here thinking that scholarships and college are just for those on the honor roll,” says Dunlap-Parker. “But there is a college for every kid in this country.” Personalized attention is the hallmark of the CACs.

“We will fax, scan, email applications – and even drive them to the post office if they need to be post-marked by a certain date,” says Dunlap-Parker. “We hit the pavement when necessary.” She is on a first-name basis with admissions counselors across the country because of the time she puts in checking on the status of applications. Once a student is accepted to college, the CAC’s work doesn’t stop there. DunlapParker and her team also help

with all the paperwork related to admissions, including health and housing services. She has helped students find work-study opportunities in college and even talked to parents about their concerns related to a child going off to college. The level of support the CACs provide is critical, says Dunlap-Parker. “You can never have too many people helping you achieve,” she says.

MATC winter commencement scheduled for Thursday, December 19 MATC's Winter Commencement will be held Thursday, December 19, at 6 p.m. at the U.S. Cellular Arena, 400 W. Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee. Students must submit their application on or before the

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Healthy blood pressure (part 1) Heart disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), is the leading cause of death for all Americans age 35 and older. This means men and women among all racial and ethnic groups. According the Centers for Disease Control, over 600,000 people died of heart disease in 2008, 25 percent of all deaths. In other words, one in four Americans died of heart disease in 2008. Among those with heart disease, 32 percent are known to have high blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension. HBP damages the blood vessels, weakening them and robbing them of their inherent flexibility. This can result in

heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. Called “the silent killer” because symptoms are so subtle, even moderately elevated blood pressure is associated with a shortened life expectancy. High blood pressure is a major health problem in the U.S. The CDC estimates that 1 in 3 U.S. adults – about 68 million – has high blood pressure. In 2008, HBP was listed as a primary or contributing cause of death for more than 347,000 Americans. African-Americans are especially susceptible, and are one of the most likely ethnic groups in the world to re-

ceive the diagnosis. HBP has also been diagnosed in twothirds of Americans over 65 and in a growing number of young adults and children. The lowdown on high blood pressure Blood pressure is the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries, similar to the pushing of water against the sides of a garden hose. Exact pressure is determined by two factors: the strength of the heartbeat and the resistance of the arteries and capillaries. Interestingly, the tiny arteries leading into the capillary network (arterioles) are the primary regulators of blood pressure. Lined with

muscle tissue, they contract or relax in rhythm with the heartbeat. There are two main categories of hypertension: essential and secondary. Secondary hypertension is a symptom of an underlying disease, and normalizes when health is restored. Over 85 percent of patients are diagnosed with “essential” hypertension, or ordinary high blood pressure, the type we discuss here. A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers. For example, a healthy blood pressure reading is 115/75, which reads “one fifteen over seventy-five.”

The first number (115) is called systolic pressure and the second (75), diastolic. Systolic is the high point of pressure as the heart beats. The low point occurs in between beats and is called diastolic pressure. Diastolic pressure is the more important measure. When high, it reveals that the arteries are under excessive pressure even though the heart is relaxed. (Continued on pg. 16)

The Affordable Care Act: What African Americans confronting cancer should know President Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) enters a new implementation stage when the Health Insurance Marketplaces open for enrollment on October 1. The more than 6.8 million uninsured African Americans who are eligible for health coverage under the law will be able to fill out an application to find and enroll in coverage that fits their budget and needs and that can start as early as January 1, 2014. Many African Americans will want to know how the Affordable Care Act will affect cancer care. What you

should know about the new law is this: The Affordable Care Act will help make health insurance coverage available for many people who otherwise would be uninsured, either because they couldn't afford to buy health insurance or because they were refused coverage on the basis of a pre-existing condition, such as cancer. The law also requires insurance companies to cover certain cancer-related services, including some prevention and early detection services

Black women murdered by men at a rate more than two and a half times higher than white women, study finds Black women are most often killed by a gun and almost always by someone they know

Washington, DC — Black women face a disproportionate share of fatal domestic violence in America, according to the new Violence Policy Center (VPC) report "When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2011 Homicide Data." In 2011, 492 black females were murdered by males at a rate of 2.61 per 100,000, compared to a rate of 0.99 per 100,000 for white females. The annual report is released to coincide with Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The study covers homicides involving one female murder victim and one male offender, and uses data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s unpublished Supplementary Homicide Report. This year’s report applies to 2011, the most recent year for which data is available.

Here are some of the report’s findings related to black females murdered by males: • Where the relationship could be determined, 94 percent of black females killed by males knew their killers. Nearly 15 times as many black females were murdered by a male they knew than were killed by male strangers. • Of the black victims who knew their offenders, 52 percent were wives, common-law wives, ex-wives, or girlfriends of the offenders. Ninety-three percent of the homicides were intra-racial. • Firearms, especially handguns, were the most common weapons used by males to murder black females. When the murder weapon could be identified, 51 percent of black female victims were shot and killed with guns. Within that group,

82 percent were killed with a handgun. • In homicides where the age of victims was reported, 12 percent of black female victims were less than 18 years old (55 victims), and five percent were 65 years of age or older (22 victims). • The vast majority of homicides of black females murdered by males were not related to any other felony

crime. Most often, black females were killed by males in the course of an argument. In cases where the circumstances could be identified, 87 percent were not related to the commission of any other felony. “Nine women each week are shot to death by their husband or intimate partner,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand

Action for Gun Sense in America. “That's nearly 500 domestic gun violence deaths each year — more than twice the number of servicewomen killed in military conflicts since the Korean War. We urgently need better policies that protect women and their families from this senseless violence. No American, adult or child, should live in a perpetual state of fear. It’s inhumane.” Nationwide, a total of 1,707 females were murdered by males in single victim/single offender incidents in 2011, at a rate of 1.17 per 100,000. The study also ranks each state based on the homicide rate for females murdered by males. In 2011, South Carolina led the nation with a rate of 2.54 per 100,000.

Study: Childhood obesity quadruples chances of adult hypertension Obese children have a four times greater risk of having high blood pressure when they reach adulthood compared to normal weight kids, new research shows. The study authors also found that overweight children had double the risk of high blood pressure, or hypertension, later in life. “We’ve shown that the risk for hypertension starts in childhood,” said study author Dr. Sara Watson, a pediatric endocrinology fellow at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University in Indianapolis. “That period is very important. There are changes in obese children that contribute to risk of cardiometabolic diseases.” So-called cardiometabolic diseases are caused by high blood pressure, high blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and excess belly fat. If left unchecked, high blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke. Starting in 1986, the researchers tracked the development of over 1,100 healthy adolescents from Indianapolis. Doctors checked their height, weight and blood pressure twice a year, finding that about two-thirds were normal weight, while 16 percent were obese and 16 percent were overweight. The researchers followed up this year with the nowadult study participants. About 26 percent of obese children had ended up with high blood pressure as adults, compared with 14 percent of overweight children and just 6 percent of normal weight children. The team was scheduled to report on its data Thursday at an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans. Watson said the increased risk for kids who are simply overweight is in some ways more troubling than the risk associated for obese children. “The risk is double for the kids that are overweight,” Watson said. “Right now, a lot of our focus is on obese children, but I think it’s important when kids are in the overweight category to address them as well, because their risk is high, too.” The 27-year study is important “because there are relatively few studies that have been done looking at the long-term impact of childhood obesity on adult health,” said Myles Faith, an associate professor of nutrition at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina, in Chapel Hill. “It takes a long time to see the development of disease, and following children over time is a mighty work. These longterm studies are a precious resource for science.”

Families and pediatricians need to keep an eye on kids’ body mass index (BMI) and take steps to help children control their weight, Faith and Watson said. BMI is a measurement based on height and weight. Parents should insist that pediatricians track their child’s BMI, and be ready to participate in healthy eating and exercise. “We have good evidence that family treatments for childhood obesity can improve BMI and can improve blood pressure in adolescents,” Faith said. “Strategies involving the family can be helpful in reducing childhood obesity. It’s important to think of this for the family unit as well.” Other studies presented at the heart association meeting also touched upon children and high blood pressure. Children who have one or more high blood pressure readings are three times more likely to develop hypertension as adults, one report discovered. Using the same pool of Indianapolis kids, researchers found that the rate of high blood pressure during adulthood was 8.6 percent for children who didn’t have a high reading when they were young. That rate jumped to 18 percent for adults who had at least one high reading as a kid, and 35 percent for adults who had two or more high readings as children. “This study highlights the need for pediatricians to regularly check blood pressure

and weight,” study author Wanzhu Tu, a professor of biostatistics at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, said in a news release from the American Heart Association. “An occasional increase in blood pressure does not justify treatment, but it does justify following these children more carefully.” Other research found that measuring the sodium levels of a child’s urine can help doctors identify those at risk for adult hypertension. Doctors used a urine screen to test the amount of sodium retention in a group of 19 children. Sodium retention increases fluid in the blood vessels, which can raise blood pressure. Eight children were found to be retaining sodium, and of those kids, seven also had high blood pressure. “Hypertension is no longer an adult disease,” senior researcher Gregory Harshfield, director of the Institute of the Georgia Prevention Center at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University in Augusta, explained in the news release. The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Breast-feeding may pass good bacteria from mom to baby Study found same beneficial strains in the guts of mother and child, as well as in breast milk Breast milk delivers beneficial bacteria from a mother’s gut to her baby’s digestive system, according to a new study. Swiss researchers found the same strains of several types of beneficial bacteria in breast milk and in mothers’ and babies’ feces. Strains found in breast milk may help establish a critical nutritional balance in the baby’s gut and may be important to prevent intestinal disorders, according to the authors of the study in the Aug. 22 issue of the journal Environmental Microbiology. “We are excited to find out that bacteria can actually travel from the mother’s gut to her breast milk,” Christophe Lacroix, of the Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health in Zurich, said in a journal news release. “A healthy community of bacteria in the gut of both mother and baby is really important for baby’s gut health and immune system development,” he explained. “We’re not sure of the route the bacteria take from gut to breast milk but, we have used culture, isolation,

Healthy blood pressure (Continued from pg. 14) We suggest a healthy diastolic of 75. In well-conditioned athletes, it’s not unusual to find diastolics in the low 60s. The currently recommended blood pressure measure is 120/80. It is based on normal measures. Normal does not mean healthy. In 2006, researchers found that levels from 120-129 over 80-84 were associated with an 81 percent higher risk of heart disease compared to levels of less than 120/80. (Kshirsagar 2006) Maintaining the recommended pressure of 115/75 can reduce risk of death from heart disease by 30 percent and death from stroke by 40 percent. Sometimes a false high reading occurs at the doctor’s

sequencing and fingerprinting methods to confirm that they are definitely the same strains,” Lacroix added. Further research is needed to determine how beneficial bacteria are transferred through breast milk from mother to infant. Having a greater understanding of how babies acquire a population of beneficial bacteria in their digestive system may lead to the development of formula milk that is more like breast milk, the researchers said. SOURCE: Environmental Microbiology, news release, Aug. 21, 2013 office. This fluke is called “white coat hypertension.” Three elevated readings have to occur with systolics above 140 and diastolics above 90 before a formal diagnosis is made. If you are under fifty and have healthy blood pressure, measure it again within two years. Over 50, check your numbers annually. Do likewise if the following factors exist: family history, obesity, diabetes, elevated blood cholesterol, and/or African ancestry. Remember, there is no persistent difference in the prevalence of diastolic hypertension between men and women. Is low blood pressure anything to worry about? Only a very small number of people need to take medication for low blood pressure. Generally, it is only dangerous when diabetes is a complication. Lightheadedness which occurs after sitting or lying down for a while is a temporary form of low pressure. Continued next week

Seniors: Be on high alert for scams I look forward to the day when we no longer need to warn senior citizens about scams designed to separate them from their hard-earned money. I'm not holding my breath, however. According to the FBI, senior citizens make attractive targets for con artists for a variety of reasons: They're more likely to have a nest egg, own their home and have good credit. Seniors are less likely to report fraud because they don't know where to report it, don't realize they've been scammed, or are too ashamed at having been duped – possibly fearing they won't be trusted to manage their own finances going forward. When elderly victims do report crimes, they often make poor witnesses because of faulty memory. Seniors are more susceptible to products promising increased wealth, cognitive function, virility, physical conditioning, anticancer properties and so on. Here's a roundup of common telemarketing scams targeting seniors and how you can avoid them: Be wary, even if callers appear legitimate. Caller ID "spoofers" pretending to represent your bank, credit

card company or government agencies may try to trick you into revealing personal information under the pretext of fixing a security breach. When in doubt, hang up and contact the organization yourself. Other common telemarketing scams include: You've supposedly won a free prize but are asked to pay for handling, postage or taxes. By law, you never have to pay for any legitimate prize. Get-rich-quick schemes, like those involving Nigerian princes trying to smuggle funds out of their country using your bank account in exchange for a cut of the amount. The "Grandparent Scam," where someone pretending

to be your grandchild calls in a panic, claiming to have been arrested or injured (often abroad) and asking you to wire them money – and not tell their parents because they're embarrassed. Soliciting funds for fake charities, especially after natural disasters. Companies offering seniors free medical equipment or services. After you provide your Medicare number, they forge a doctor's signature and bill Medicare for unneeded goods or services you never actually receive. Some particularly brazen thieves will even offer to help you recover money you've lost to other scammers (who are often part of the same operation). Although direct telephone

contact is common, scammers also use mailers, email, texts and advertisements to lure potential victims into contacting them for further information. A few tip-offs these offers – whatever the channel – might be bogus: The offer sounds too good to be true. High-pressure sales tactics – they won't take no for an answer, have sensible-sounding answers for your every question or hesitation. You must make a decision "right now" because the offer will expire soon. Claims that you are one of just a few people eligible for the offer. Your credit card number is requested for verification. Never provide credit card or other personal information by phone, letter or email unless you made the initial contact. You are urged to provide money quickly and not given time to consider the offer. There is no risk. All investments have some risk, except for U.S. Government obligations. They refuse to provide detailed written information. You are asked to trust the telemarketer. Like your mother always said, "Don't trust strangers."

The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) has a Scam Alert Blog that exposes the latest scams, as well as a site where you can file a complaint if a business doesn't make good on its promises or cheats you out of your money.

Social Security generates $28 billion in economic activity, supports 195,000 jobs in Wisconsin A new study from the AARP Public Policy Institute calculates that each dollar paid to Social Security beneficiaries in Wisconsin generates nearly two dollars in spending by individuals and businesses, adding about $28.1 billion in total economic output to Wisconsin – and about $1.4 trillion to the national economy – in 2012. The report also finds the $15.6 billion paid in Social Security benefits in 2012 helped Wisconsinites keep or find more than 195,000 jobs. Social Security’s Impact on the National Economy details the powerful multiplier effect created when Social Security recipients spend their benefits and the companies which receive those dollars spend their profits and pay their employees, who in turn spend their wages. The report provides both national and state-level data. AARP staff members from Wisconsin are visiting Capitol Hill offices today to deliver the report to Wisconsin’s

Members of Congress and voice their concerns about the chained CPI, a change proposed in budget negotiations that would cut Social Security benefits. This week, AARP will also be delivering to Congressional district offices thousands of petitions representing Wisconsinites opposed to the chained CPI. “This report tells us that any adjustments Washington makes to Social Security will have a profound effect on individuals of all ages, businesses and our economy as a whole,” said AARP Wisconsin State Director Sam Wilson. “That’s why AARP is fighting the chained CPI and calling for a national conversation about the future of Social Security – so those who paid into the system can have a voice in the debate and so future generations get the benefits they’ve earned.” Social Security benefit payments in 2012 supported more than $370 billion in salaries, wages and compen-

sation for workers across the country. Of the more than nine million jobs supported by Social Security spending, about four million were in just ten industries. Nationally, the largest employment impacts were seen in the food services, real estate, health care and retail industries. In addition to illustrating Social Security’s vital role in supporting national and local economies, jobs and work-

ers’ incomes, this report reiterates the importance of Social Security as a vital source of income for millions of Americans. Social Security benefits keep 22 million people out of poverty, including more than 15 million older Americans, and serve as the foundation of a secure retirement for millions more. About 790,000 older Wisconsinites rely on Social Security.

Social Security’s Impact on the National Economy uses an economic modeling system known as IMPLAN to calculate the multiplier effect and trace the impact of Social Security spending through the national and state economies.
