Greater Spring Hill Church celebrates Valentine's Day with grand gala

Staff Photo

Greater Spring Hill Missionary Baptist Church Deacon board Chairman Al Brown, along with the entire congregation, hosted their first annual Valentine Gala on Saturday, February 14, 2014 at the Wisconsin African American Women’s Center, 3020 W. Vliet Street. More than 200 people braved the frigid bone chilling weather to enjoy an evening of elegant dining, dancing and a great atmosphere of laughter and friendship. Many of the attendees were dressed in red, which symbolizes love on Valentine’s Day. Men wore black suits accessorized with red shirts and a black tie. All the women attending were presented with a long stem red or yellow rose and pink

gift bags were distributed during a raffle. The ladies’ attire was an assortment of colors: burgundy, red and black, and maroon. And like at most events, the women outnumbered the men. However, that didn’t prevent anyone from dancing to Blurred Lines and oldies but goodies played by a DJ. Deacon Brown said the goals set for the event were met and he was looking forward to having the Valentine Gala again next year. Proceeds from the event will aid the Outreach Ministry of Greater Spring Hill. Rev. Danny Washington is pastor of Greater Spring Hill Baptist Church, located at 3801 N. 20th Street.

Hupy and Abraham celebrates literacy with Milwaukee school

On February 12, 2015, Hupy and Abraham helped to celebrate the Milwaukee Math and Science Academy’s (MMSA) first annual “Literacy Night” event. The evening kicked off with a presentation about literacy rates in the Milwaukee area. After the presentation, students separated into groups where Attorneys Tom Perlberg and Todd Korb (right photo, back row) read stories to them. Representatives from the Milwaukee Public Library were there to sign up students for library cards. The firm distributed safety information and Hupy and Abraham T-shirts. In addition to these materials, the firm gave a donation to the MMSA library to help the school purchase more books. Hupy and Abraham is proud to have been a part of this inaugural event that promotes literacy in the Milwaukee area. The firm cares deeply about all aspects of the community, including education. In August 2014, the firm donated hundreds of backpacks to school children.

Wisconsin assembly Democrats unveil “15 Bills for 2015”

By Tim Morrissey

Madison, WI - Clean energy, nanotechnology and “buy Wisconsin” proposals are among the 15 items Wisconsin Assembly Democrats have unveiled as part of what they are calling their economic opportunity agenda for 2015. Assistant Democratic Leader Katrina Shankland of Stevens Point says the plan puts middle-class families front and center, saying it’s all about expanding and creating economic opportunity for all. “Our constituents tell us

no matter how hard they work, maybe they’re working extra hours or more than one job, they feel like they just can’t get ahead,” says Shankland. “That’s because of two things: we’ve seen declining wage growth and declining economic growth. We want to grow long-term familysupporting jobs, and our ‘15 for 2015’ package does that.” Republican leadership responded to the plan, calling it recycled ideas to increase the size of government and Katrina Shankland increase government spending. The Democrats’ plan Assistant Democratic Leader is a counterpoint to the Republican budget and includes investment in small business,

expanding rural broadband access, strengthening “Buy Wisconsin” programs and increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. Shankland says Wisconsin continues to lag behind most of the nation in job and wage growth, while running up one of the largest budget deficits in the country. She says the Legislature needs to focus on creating the jobs of the future. “Nanotechnology and clean energy are both industry sectors that we see growing very quickly and that pay well,” she says. “Creating a nanotechnology hub and es-

tablishing a clean-energy jobs task force to promote and incentivize clean energy jobs are both really great proposals that I would hope would see bipartisan support.” The plan also calls for full restoration of the Earned Income Tax Credit for lowincome working families and for funding Farm-To-School grants to help connect local farmers with local school districts, a program the Republican majority cut in the last state budget.

Putting the “no” in casino: Gov. Walker says his rejection of Kenosha proposal is final Putting the “no” in casino. Governor Scott Walker, in no uncertain terms, says his rejection of the Kenosha casino proposal is final. But that’s not stopping Kenoshaarea lawmakers from trying to change his mind before the deadline Thursday, February 19, 2015. This, as members of the Menominee Tribe continue their march to Madison. As Governor Walker announced the arrival of Toolamation Services — a company moving from Illinois to Wisconsin, outside the Kenosha factory, a group of union workers protested Walker’s decision to reject the Kenosha casino proposal. “This governor here is not thinking wisely,” Dan Doperalski with the Cement Ma-

son and Plasters Union said. This group says the decision would send thousands of jobs back over the border. “Right over that state line. The casino’s going to wind up over there,” Doperalski said. These workers would have held some of the 10,000 jobs associated with the $800 million Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Kenosha. On Tuesday, outside Governor Walker’s jobs announcement, they said it’s hard to celebrate 50 jobs coming to town. “I think it’s a joke. It’s a slap in the face to southeastern Wisconsin,” Sean Frank with IBEW Local 127 said. In the crowd was Menominee Tribal Chairman Gary Besaw. He says he wants to meet with Walker be-

fore Thursday, February 19. That’s the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs’ deadline for a decision on the proposed Kenosha casino. “I’m making myself available. He still has time to reconsider this,” Besaw said. Inside the Kenosha factory, Governor Walker was joined by virtually every one of the area’s elected officials, including Republican allies. “I would have preferred the 10,050 jobs versus just 50, myself,” Rep. Samantha Kerkman (R-Salem) said. “It’s disappointing. It’s really disappointing,”former Sen. Van Wanggaard said. Rep. Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) called the casino decision the 800-pound gorilla in the room at Tuesday’s jobs announcement.

Mayor Tom Barrett spoke to business leaders Wednesday, February 18, 2015 to ask for their involvement in the city's Earn & Learn program. The program helps connect students with nonprofits, community organizations and business leaders in order to provide jobs and job training. "Every adult remembers their first job and how important it was to their development," he said. Barrett called on local leaders to think about their first chance at employment, and to think about giving the next

“What he’s saying does not add up. People are just extremely upset,” Rep. Barca said. Walker says he made the decision to reject the casino proposal to protect Wisconsin taxpayers. “The facts are clear. When we issued our statement to the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

that was our final decision,” Governor Walker said. “We’re very disappointed. I feel very bad,” Besaw said. About 50 members of the Menominee Nation are marching 155 miles to the Capitol in Madison to meet with Governor Walker. Walker said Tuesday he will not meet with them.

MPS: Op Ed.

Walker budget impacts schools statewide

Across Wisconsin, school districts are finding out just how much students will lose under Governor Walker’s proposed budget and they’re speaking out about how cuts to public education will negatively impact children. The Governor’s decision to eliminate a state promise of $150 in funding for every student in Wisconsin’s public schools will cut $127 million from programs supporting public school students. But that’s only part of the fiscal dilemma public schools face in this budget. The budget also does not include any increases that allow schools to keep up with inflationary costs. The double punch of a surprise cut in state funding and no inflationary increases puts many districts in tough financial situations. In Milwaukee Public Schools, the state aid cut amounts to $12.1 million less for educational programs. In addition, due to increasing costs associated with educating students, the district’s cost to continue budget was already projected to be $11 million short bringing the projected loss to the district

to $23 million. But it’s not just MPS that’s feeling the financial pinch. From Ashland to Wauwatosa and dozens of districts in between, school district leaders are speaking out about the impact of state cuts and funding issues. The Wauwatosa School District, Governor Walker’s home district, will lose $903,900 under the Governor’s proposed budget. In an interview with a local Wauwatosa newspaper, Wauwatosa Superintendent Phil Ertl said, “Long-term, our programs are not going to be sustainable. We can’t just keep taking these hits.” In that same article, Wauwatosa Director of Business Services John Mack said, “It’s a hard hit. You almost have a sense of disbelief when you read that. To say ‘we’re going to take away from you again,’ it’s very disheartening to work in this industry when that type of thing keeps happening.” According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, estimates of cuts to other local school districts include:

Michael Bonds, Ph.D. • Brown Deer $288,150 • Germantown $587,325 • Greenfield $474,225 • Menomonee Falls $574,050 • Oak Creek $922,575 • Shorewood $256,200 • West Allis $1,295,550 While districts hope funds will be restored, many are also beginning to take a hard look at what this proposed budget means and where cuts will have to be made if funding is not reinstated.

While local public schools are being cut, Governor Walker has proposed spending more dollars on voucher schools by expanding the program statewide. Funding for the program would come from reducing the general aid to schools statewide, taking even more dollars from public schools. Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Jennifer Cheatham expressed the frustration of many superintendents and board members when she released this statement about the proposed budget. “Unfortunately, this budget proposal clearly prioritizes private school vouchers, the authorization of independent charters and politics over real support for public schools and our students,” Cheatham continued, “Rather than invest in what we know works, this proposal puts resources in strategies with mixed results at the expense of our public school students. We urge legislators to take a serious look at this proposal and focus our resources and efforts on supporting our public school students.”

If you care about public schools and the students they serve, call the Wisconsin Legislative Hotline at 1-800362-9472. Speak up for our public school students. - Michael Bonds, President Milwaukee Board of School Directors The opinions expressed in this editorial are those of the writer and not of the Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper or NCON Communication, its staff or management

Rebuilding Our Community

The Counseling Corner

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

Selling ourselves short Another Black History month is upon us and again we are looking at ways in which to celebrate the accomplishments of our ancestors, who had made a profound impact in making America what it is today. Make no doubt about it, the contributions of African Americans throughout history continue to shape and reshape the American experience. These contributions include many in medical science, business, education, technology, industry, music, movies, media, civil rights, inventions, politics and sports. Since the founding of America, many Black pioneers emerged to pave a way for a better way of living and to foster a much brighter future for upcoming generations. Some of these notable pioneers are known as trailblazers, rising stars, heroes and champions of various causes, organizations and count-

less movements. If we take a closer look at what each of these individuals accomplished during their life time, it would simply be amazing and blow our minds. What is so remarkable about each of their stories is the fact that many had to overcome so many obstacles and challenges along the way. They had to deal with racism, segregation,

slavery, injustice, oppression, indifference and discrimination. However, against so many odds they persevered and left marks that continue to touch so many lives and echo the core principles of being an American. Sadly, many modern history books do not include all the accomplishments of African Americans. A number

CHILD WATCH I’m grateful for a powerful new book, Girls In Justice by artist Richard Ross, a follow up to his moving earlier Juvenile In Justice, which combines Ross’s photographs of girls in the juvenile justice system with interviews he gathered from over 250 detention facilities across the United States. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the deeply disturbing photographs speak volumes. Ross uses the power of photography to make visible the hidden and harsh world of girls in detention. These heartwrenching images coupled with the girls’ ages and life stories should move us to confront the cruel and unjust juvenile justice system in our nation. These girls are ours: our neighbors, our children’s classmates, our daughters and granddaughters, sisters, cousins, and nieces — and, for some young children, our mothers. Girls In Justice begs the questions—why are so many girls, especially girls of color, confined in our nation’s detention facilities, and what are we as a society going to do about it? We must all work tirelessly to give hope and a fair chance to these girls and all children by promoting policies, programs, and supports that help them and their families, especially those most at risk. We must combat systemic

of them are not even mentioned, listed in the footnotes or as references. The reasons why vary for these exclusions including having few if any African Americans on the team of writers or editors. Additionally, there is a lack of appreciation, limited cultural intelligence, cultural bias, lack of quality research and a historical perspective to the overall contributions to African Americans in the making of America. With the lack of inclusion, future generations will struggle to fully understand their role in their community, culture, ethnic group, and heritage. But African American history is much deeper, much broader, much richer and much more meaningful. In order to ensure that future generations of African Americans gain a better understanding of the contributions of their ancestors, community leaders, churches, and organizations must help to

African American History Month: Raising cultural awareness (conclusion) fill in the gaps. Additionally, teachers in secondary and post-secondary schools must encourage students to explore their roots, show documentary films, provide lectures, hold special events, do reenactments, plays and do research on little known personalities and events. We must remember that there is more to African American history than what we may read in one history book or another, but that history is all around us and in us. What do you think?

Current events in the United States and across the globe indicate unrest and a general feeling of distrust among and between people of different races and religions. The very fiber of our culture has been shaken by events in Syria with Isis, the beheadings of journalists and the burning of the Jordanian pilot, to the killing of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Dontre Hamilton, etc. Blacks and Whites seem divided in ways that haven’t been seen since the sixties. Simultaneously, America has elected its first African American president. Many would argue that race relations have improved dramatically, but reality tells us otherwise. The question lingers, “Where do we go from here?” Mahatma Gandhi noted to his followers that, “Every conflict large or small is an opportunity to advance a little in evolution or move backward." It is up to us to decide whether we will

move forward or backward. “Where do we go from here” is the persistent question of history and has been posed over the years in several art forms and by different orators, including a 1945 movie, starring Fred McMurray; a love ballad released by Charles Bradley in 2013; and an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. However, the question has not been posed more poignantly than by the late Dr. Martin Luther King in his famed book and speech, Where Do We Go From Here: From Chaos to Community. The common denominator of all of these uses is that the question is posed after a period of conflict or turmoil. Dr. King raised the question during a dark period of oppression and racism in America and challenged the nation and the people to consider philosophically and theologically its destiny as a divided nation. Fifty years later, the rel-

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. evancy of this question continues to challenge the nation as we are again confronted by some stark realities of political, racial, and religious polarization of community and nation. Interestingly enough, time and experience have proven the prophetic wisdom of Dr. King to be true: "We are caught in an inescapable network of mu-

tuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." (Letter From the Birmingham Jail). From Brooklyn, New York to Milwaukee, Wisconsin young people, Black and White, have taken to the streets in protest of not just the killing of Black life, but of the systemic evils of our nation that threaten to compromise their future and who they think we are. Recently, on the campus of American Baptist College in Nashville, TN, some of these hopeful young people went to ponder our time persistent questions: “Where do we go from here?” “Where do we go from police brutality?” “Where do we go from black on black crime?” “Where do we go from hopelessness and despair?” Although they did not leave Nashville with definitive answers, they did leave with a clear resolve that whatever the answers are,

Girls in justice

problems that contribute to family and community dysfunction and wreak havoc on developing children including girls; we must dig beneath the surface and examine the root cause of girls’ “offenses” and why injustice saps the hopes of so many young lives on our watch. In 2013, one in five girls in the United States was poor, and girls of color were disproportionately poor. From birth to young adulthood, children — especially poor children and children of color — encounter multiple and cumulative risk factors that often result in their being funneled into the prison pipeline through the juvenile and criminal justice systems and locked up behind bars. Such massive incarceration is sentencing millions of children to social and economic death. The pipeline to prison is lodged at the intersection of poverty and race and is intolerable in a professed society of opportunity. In 2007, the Children’s Defense Fund launched the Cradle to Prison Pipeline® crusade to confront youth incarceration and the factors driving it and propose solutions to replace it with a pipeline to college and career. While twice as many boys as girls are arrested, girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system. As girls rock

the cradle they rock the future, and we must pay attention to both girls and boys to ensure the development of healthy families. Girls of color and poor girls face special challenges before they enter the juvenile justice system, during their confinement, and when they return to their communities after release. At the front end, racial disparities and the lack of appropriate treatment and support that run through every major child-serving system negatively impact their life chances by pushing more children into juvenile detention and adult prison. These include limited health and mental health care; lack of quality early childhood support experiences (including home visiting, Early Head Start and Head Start, child care, preschool, and kinder-

garten); children languishing in foster care waiting for permanent families and shunted through multiple placements; and failing schools with harsh zero tolerance discipline policies, mostly for nonviolent offenses, that suspend, expel, and discourage children who then too often drop out and do not graduate. Too little effort is made to divert girls from the juvenile justice system despite the existence of successful evidence-based programs. Girls in the system often encounter a unique set of challenges. Almost three quarters of them have been sexually or physically abused. Most are arrested for nonviolent offenses such as truancy, running away, or alcohol and substance use which can often be linked to severe abuse or neglect. These nonviolent

offenses, or status offenses, would not be considered offenses for an adult. Poverty has an impact: although the trauma of sexual violence and abuse affects many girls, poor girls often lack adequate supports to keep them from juvenile detention. Victimized girls often face more trauma and stigmatization by being held in juvenile detention facilities instead of diverted to appropriate community-based alternatives. Whether confinement is temporary or longer term, programs and personnel are often not equipped to deal with their unique needs and sometimes exacerbate the trauma. Reports are rampant of confined girls being emotionally, physically, and sexually abused, isolated, separated from their babies, unable to visit their family members regularly, and humiliated through common practices like pat downs. Detention centers need more comprehensive, gender-responsive, trauma-informed, culturallyrelevant services for girls. After release, girls, many of whom may already have been disconnected from

their communities and nation cannot get there without them. So, perhaps this is our hope not that they will discover the answers to these questions, but that they will continue pursuing the answers. Beloved, as Dr. King and other devotees of civil disobedience were confronted with some undeniable realities in their generation, so we now have our own challenges that not only weaken our communities, but our nation as well. As noted, we cannot answer the question, "Where do we go from here" but one thing is certain: we cannot find the answer in cultural silos, isolated from each other. We must commit ourselves to working together to right the wrongs, one by one, wherever we see them.

Effective reentry plans should include school reenrollment, housing, job training, case management, and mentoring. All help reduce recidivism. We should all feel ashamed as the girls in this book talk about reentering detention multiple times and how these are generational patterns. This revolving door of individual and family confinement must end — now. It is way past time for every adult to take responsibility for reducing the number of girls and boys behind bars through prevention and diversion programs and com-

munity supports both before and after detention. And it is way past time for adults of every race and income group to break our silence about the pervasive breakdown of moral, family, community and national values, to place our children first in our lives, to rebuild family and community, to model the behavior we want our children to learn, and to never give up on any child. We do not have a “child and youth problem” in America, but we have a profound adult problem. It is time for adults to address it and to give all of our children true justice: hope, opportunity, and love. Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Brothers find learning new language fun

Edward Satterwhite When it comes to school Edward Satterwhite and his brother, Kordarreus Howell, are finding learning fun at the Milwaukee Academy of Chinese Language (MACL). Satterwhite, a third grader, and Howell, who is in first grade, both are learning how

to speak Mandarin Chinese. “It’s so fun learning a new language,” Howell said. “It makes me want to learn more new things.” Satterwhite said learning about a new culture has expanded his interests in the arts.

Kordarreus Howell “I really like to work on art projects,” he said. MACL is Milwaukee Public Schools’ first to offer instruction in Mandarin Chinese. It is a K4 through eighth grade traditional school, which offers various programs to support students’ social and aca-

demic success. Students receive Mandarin language instruction for 30 minutes every day. They also learn about Chinese culture and traditions. Gaining comprehension of Mandarin Chinese increases students’ global understanding of vari-

ous Asian cultures and their influence on the global community. Satterwhite hopes to one day put his knowledge of Mandarin Chinese to good use. “Knowing the language will allow me to speak to someone who can speak Mandarin Chinese but may not know how to speak English,” he said. “We will be able to talk to each other.” The Milwaukee Academy of Chinese Language is one of several Milwaukee Public Schools specialty campuses where students receive instruction in a language other than English. The district also has schools where students can learn French, German and Spanish in a fullimmersion setting and Italian and Japanese via partial immersion. Milwaukee School of Languages offers partial immersion instruction in Jap-

Energy drinks may provide a bit too much of a boost to your heart, creating additional strain on the organ and causing it to contract more rapidly than usual, German researchers report. Healthy people who drank energy drinks high in caffeine and taurine experienced significantly increased heart contraction rates an hour later, according to research scheduled for presentation at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, in Chicago. The study raises concerns that energy drinks might be bad for the heart, particularly for people who already have heart disease, said Dr. Kim Williams, vice president of the American College of Cardiology. “We know there are drugs that can improve the function of the heart, but in the long term they have a detrimental effect on the heart,” said Williams, a cardiology professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine, in Detroit. For example, adrenaline

can make the heart race, but such overexertion can wear the heart muscle down, he said. There’s also the possibility that a person could develop an irregular heartbeat. From 2007 to 2011, the number of emergency room visits related to energy drinks nearly doubled in the United States, rising from slightly more than 10,000 to nearly 21,000, according to a meeting news release. Most of the cases involved young adults aged 18 to 25, followed by people aged 26 to 39. In the new study, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure the heart function of 18 healthy participants both before and one hour after they consumed an energy drink. The energy drink contained 400 milligrams of taurine and 32 milligrams of caffeine per 100 milliliters of liquid (about 3.4 ounces). Taurine is an amino acid that plays a number of key roles in the body, and is believed to enhance athletic perfor-

mance. Caffeine is the natural stimulant that gives coffee its kick. After downing the energy drink, the participants experienced a 6 percent increase in their heart contraction rate, said study co-author Dr. Jonas Doerner, a radiology resident in the cardiovascular imaging section at the University of Bonn, in Germany. It appears that the unique blend of sugar, caffeine and taurine in an energy drink may combine to have an effect on the heart, Doerner said. He and his colleagues tested a second group using a drink containing only caffeine, but those patients

did not show a significant increase in heart contractions. “Maybe the mechanism could be from the taurine, or from the combination of taurine and caffeine,” he said. Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal. The American Beverage Association responded to the study with a prepared statement. “The fact remains that most mainstream energy drinks contain only about half the caffeine of a similar size cup of coffeehouse coffee,” the industry group said. “Caffeine is a safe ingredient and is consumed every day in a wide variety of foods and beverages, including energy drinks which have been enjoyed safely by millions of people for nearly three decades. Also, this paper, which looks at only 18 adults, has not been peer-reviewed or

published.” Doerner was reluctant to speculate on potential damage to the heart that could result from long-term energy drink consumption, given that his study focused only on short-term effects. “We have shown that even small amounts of energy drinks alters heart function,” he said. “Because of that, further investigation needs to be done to address concerns regarding long term effects on kids and long-term effects on people with heart disease.” However, Doerner did advise that children and people who have an irregular heart beat should avoid energy drinks until more study is done. Cardiology professor Williams agreed that further research is needed, adding that these results need to be followed up. “Without data, one can only speculate,” he said. “If you speculate on existing drugs that have that effect, it would be cause for concern.”

Researchers say, low level of vitamin D is tied to raised risk of a severe stroke and poor recovery Low vitamin D levels are linked to an increased risk of suffering a severe stroke and poor health in stroke survivors, new research finds. The study included almost 100 stroke patients who were treated at a U.S. hospital between 2013 and 2014. All had experienced an ischemic stroke, which is a stroke caused by blocked blood flow to the brain. People with low blood levels of vitamin D -- less than 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) -- had about two times larger areas of strokerelated dead brain tissue than those with normal vitamin D levels, according to the study. The researchers also found that for each 10 ng/mL reduction in vitamin D level, the odds of a healthy recovery in the three months after stroke fell by about half, regardless of age or initial stroke severity. Although this study found an association between low vitamin D levels and poor stroke outcomes, it wasn’t designed to show whether or not vitamin D levels actually caused any of those problems. “It’s too early to draw firm conclusions from our small study,” senior author Dr. Nils Henninger, assistant professor of neurology and psy-

chiatry at University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, said in an American Stroke Association news release. “However, the results do provide the impetus for further rigorous investigations into the association of vitamin D status and stroke severity. If our findings are replicated, the next logical step may be to test whether supplementation can protect patients at high risk for stroke,” Henninger said. The study was scheduled to be presented Wednesday at the American Stroke Association’s annual meeting in Nashville. Findings from studies presented at meetings are generally considered preliminary until they’ve been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
