Ralph Griffin shares a message of inspiration with hundreds of students during lectures at Madison High School Ralph Griffin, during a brief interview at the Milwaukee Times’ office on Tuseday, Febuary 3, 2015, said his Heating and Air Conditioning business is getting “better and better and it’s a profession that will be around forever.” Griffin was referring to Kinlow’s Heating and Air Conditioning, a firm he acquired several years ago from the previous owner he worked for who was “tired and ready to retire.” Griffin, a former veteran who served in the military working on tanks, said when he left the service, the only place where he could find work was with Kinlow’s Heating. Explaining his situation, Griffin said he got a job with Kinlow within 48 hours of being home. “Mr. Kinlow said: ‘Be here

tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.'," Griffin explained and he confessed admiringly that he’s “never been unemployed since.” Griffin said he was one of several local black business professionals from the community who were invited to make presentations about their professions, which placed the spotlight on Black History Month observance at Madison. Griffin estimates he spoke to more than 150 students who listened attentively and asked a host of questions. Griffin admitted he would not be in the profession he’s in today were it not for a criminal offense, which occurred earlier in his life.

Why would the state give $220 million to someone whose company is destroying Milwaukee neighborhoods?

On a cold Thursday, January 29, 2015 in Milwaukee, more than 30 Common Ground leaders, students, and neighbors held a press conference in front of a crumbling duplex on North 44th St. No one is paying taxes on the vacant building, and it has 23 code violations. It is only one of 300 foreclosed properties controlled by Nationstar Mortgage. Wesley Edens owns the majority of the stock and is chairman of the

board of Nationstar Mortgage Company. According to a plan Governor Walker announced Tuesday, Edens is about to receive $220 million in Wisconsin taxpayer dollars to help him build an arena for another of his properties, the Milwaukee Bucks. Common Ground, a community-organizing group that inspected all 300 Nationstar properties in Milwaukee, is determined to prevent a taxpayer subsidy for

a new arena without a significant investment in neighborhoods. They are demanding that Edens meet with them to talk about his crumbling properties and how they are undermining the city of Milwaukee. Lloyd Johnson, cochair of Common Ground's Fair Play team, explained that houses such as this not only cause problems in (Continued on pg. 4)

Gov. Scott Walker announces MILWAUKEE/NARI to host job fair new budget plan on February 12th Governor Scott Walker is proposing massive cuts to the UW System, as well as drug testing for those seeking public benefits, under his new state budget plan. Walker released the twoyear proposal Tuesday, February 3, 2015. He'll be in Eau Claire Wednesday to expand on those details. The governor's "Freedom and Prosperity for All" budget tour is rolling into Midwest Manufacturing at 10 a.m. Under Walker's $68 billion budget, property taxes will be kept in check over the next two years. Roads will see a funding increase of $1.3 billion. Walker says he will solve a budget shortfall with reductions, including $300 million less to the UW schools. He also wants to eliminate 400 positions across state government and to keep spending on public schools flat. "I ask the legislature to give our bold reform ideas a serious look," Walker said, to lawmakers. "As the father of a UW student, I have a real interest in the success of our state system and I believe this will make the University of Wisconsin stronger in the years to come." There are still months of debate before the budget is signed into law. The Republican-controlled legislature will likely take a vote sometime in June. UW-Eau Claire faculty met with Chancellor Jim Schmidt in advance of Walker's Tuesday budget address. During the tense meeting, Schmidt said he plans to spend more time in Madison and Washington advocating for public higher education. He called the UW System

cuts a terrible public policy decision, but says he is pleased with the move to give UW schools more autonomy. He says that is something to celebrate. UW-Eau Claire sent an email to students warning the cuts could create larger class sizes and reduce class options. Moving forward, Schmidt says the university will form task forces. They will come up with budgeting recommendations to deal with the cuts quickly. A plan is expected within the next five months. While Democrats and Republicans digest the Governor's proposals, some are calling the budget an attempt for Walker to please conservatives as he ponders a 2016 presidential run. WEAU Political Analyst John Frank says, with the White House in mind, the governor wants to show how changes in Wisconsin could work for the rest of the nation. "Clearly what he is trying to set up is a situation where he can say here is what worked in Wisconsin and here's how I'm going to do that for the United States," Frank said.

Tax help available for Wisconsin seniors Few if any taxpayers enjoy filling out income tax forms every year, and often senior citizens discover that proper preparation of their tax returns can be a real challenge. Marimm Muzzi, assistant state director of community outreach with AARP Wisconsin, says that's why there's AARP Tax-Aide, a program tailored to the needs of retired people and senior citizens - although she says there are no age or income restrictions for using the service. "Four out of five of the people who turn to AARP Tax-Aide are people 60 or older," she relates. "Their household incomes aren't real high, and for many of them, a tax refund could mean they won't have to choose between paying for groceries or keeping the

lights on." Muzzi stresses it's easy to get assistance from the AARP Tax-Aide program. "There's a toll-free number, 888-227-7669, where an individual will answer your call and ask you to provide your ZIP code, and will be able to direct you to TaxAide service sites in your area," she says. People can also find the nearest location online at AARP.org/taxaide, along with tips on preparing for an appointment and bringing the appropriate documents.

Milwaukee/National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), the area’s leading home improvement and remodeling industry resource, will host a job fair on the second floor of the State Fair Park Exposition Center, 8200 W. Greenfield Ave. in West Allis, on Thurs., Feb. 12, from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. Held in conjunction with the association’s charitable arm, the Milwaukee/NARI Foundation, Inc., more than 25 NARI are participating and looking for workers. The exhibitors are in a wide range of specialties within the home improvement and remodeling industry, including design/build, window and door installation, roofing, siding, cabinetry, plaster and stucco repair, landscaping, plumbing, and security. Exhibitors will be seeking those that have experience in home improvement and remodeling or a related field that would transfer to the industry to work in a variety of positions, including carpenters, installers, service technicians, project management, and warehouse staff. Those willing to learn about skilled trade opportunities are also encouraged to attend. Employment seekers are encouraged to bring resumes

Ralph Griffin (Continued from pg. 1) became adamant about doing something to turn his life around. Griffin learned of a program in heating and air conditioning being offered to some inmates. Griffin said he pursued the counselor responsible for the program and every opportunity he got to speak with the counselor he did. Griffin’s pursuits paid off when his counselor “made an exception” to see what he could do to get him enrolled in the training program. With that response, Griffin confessed saying: “Thank you Jesus.” Griffin was blessed, because his education didn’t cost him a dime. And today he possesses both state and federal licenses to perform the work he does and his credentials, Griffin said “are accepted anywhere in the world.” When asked why so few African Americans are seen on construction projects in Milwaukee, Griffin confessed many African Americans don’t want to go to school and thus lack the education. Griffin said individuals working in his field, starting as a journeyman, can easily earn up to $19.50 an hour

to share with exhibitors, as well as contact information for references. Exhibitors will be identified by company name and the type of position(s) the company is looking to fill. “In addition to raising awareness about career opportunities in the home improvement and remodeling industry to develop a strong workforce and ensure growth of the profession in southeastern Wisconsin, we are seeking people to work immediately for association members,” said Bingo Emmons, CR, CRPM, a Milwaukee/NARI board member, chair of the association’s Workforce Development Committee, and owner of Creative Construction of Wisconsin, a job fair exhibitor. “Our members are busy and need to bring on quality people to complete the work that they have scheduled now, as well as what will continue to come in from those

looking to enhance their home and living environment. While we prefer to hire those that have experience in the jobs that are available, our members are willing to train if people show attributes that demonstrate that they would be an asset to the company.” “Milwaukee/NARI and its members provide guidance and leadership for those wishing to explore and experience various industry careers,” said Tom Callen, Milwaukee/NARI Foundation president and Workforce Development Committee vice-chair. Milwaukee/NARI, with more than 740 members, has been promoting ethical conduct, professionalism, and sound business practices in the remodeling industry for more than 50 years. Consumers should have complete peace of mind when selecting a Milwaukee/NARI contractor for their home improvement project. For more information or to receive a free copy of an annual membership roster listing all members, and the booklet, Milwaukee/NARI's Remodeling Guide, call 414771-4071 or visit the association website at www.milwaukeenari.org.

just to learn. And with four years of real work experience individuals can gross as much as $54.00 an hour. Moreover, Griffin said in this field of work, individuals don’t have

to attend school for eight years to make a good living. Griffin’s company, Kinlow’s Heating and Air Conditioning employs four fulltime employees.

MPS: Op Ed. Statement by President Michael Bonds, Ph.D., regarding the New Opportunities for Milwaukee document Milwaukee Public Schools was not sent a copy of this plan, which was provided to the district by the news media. We've had a series of very positive discussions with key Republicans over the past few weeks about what a good accountability proposal looks like. In fact, yesterday's hearing on Senate Bill 1 focused on sensible, proven strategies to improve outcomes for students. The legislative leaders we've met with also have a much better understanding of the significant steps MPS is engaged in now to improve student outcomes. The "New Opportunities for Milwaukee" plan is a step backward in those efforts and discussions. What we have read about the plan indicates it has significant problems and unintended consequences and frankly includes some of the worst attributes of Assembly Bill 1. •It's important to remember that charter schools are not the simple answer to the challenges facing urban edu-

cation. Stanford University did the most comprehensive studies (2009, 2013) of charter schools and found that nationally only 14 percent of charter schools outperformed traditional public schools. •An effort to create a turnaround district would have a devastating fiscal impact on the education of students remaining in MPS -- and the city of Milwaukee -- with the potential layoffs of hundreds of staff. •To state - as the proposal does - that this will have no impact on taxpayers ignores the fact these efforts have had huge costs in other communities where turnaround districts have been attempted. •This proposal would also result in the loss of local control by the elected Milwaukee Board of School Directors, local taxpayers and the Department of Public Instruction, which may create a potential constitutional issue. While there may have been

Editorial

Rebuilding Our Community Getting this party started When you thought the side show in politics had stopped or slowed down on all levels... well it was only taking a brief recess... but it is back and boy are there some new sets of actors or clowns doing the same routine... talking loud, doing nothing and even using some bigger props. And if you believed for once that people would finally get the right memo, email, read the tea leaves, see the right shrink (therapist)... then we are all in to seeing some interesting dance moves in 2015. The only things missing are the Afros, shag carpet, strobe lights and some space to form the “soul train” line. Each year there seems to be a lot of things on the American agenda, but it is hard to see any real progress and there are glowing reports to back that up. The list is endless, but the major players include poverty, housing, economics, employment, workforce readiness, crime, law enforcement, health care, education, domestic violence and social services. We have become a nation of services (public/private) that provide some kind of assistance to some kind of problem. Just name a problem and there is some agency out there that can deal with that particular issue. We have hundreds if not thousands of little known programs available that no one really knows about. Of course that means those resources will never be used. That sounds messed up... Amazingly, there are hundreds of reports completed each year that highlight the issues and what if any progress has been made. Everybody wants to study the problem and things go on for years and years without a solution. In the end, these reports are completed, placed on a bookshelf or used as doorstops along the way, mentioned during political speeches, job interviews, listed as a reference in future

reports or when applying for another grant. In the end, this is what we did, what we believed to be true, here are the results of our actions and how we can improve, if and when this opportunity comes again. No one told us that these and other things were included in the price tag when pursuing the American Dream. The hidden costs of obtaining the dream are what have derailed the majority of Americans. It seemed so simple, to own a home in a good neighborhood, work a livable wage job and your children obtaining a good education. And because of the side shows that we will see played out in 2015, the dream will continue to be deferred. So, I would recommend that we pray for the best, hope for some progress and close one of our eyes to a lot of bad dancing. What do you think?

The Counseling Corner

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

African American History Month: Raising cultural awareness (Week 1) February is African American History Month. As an introduction to this month’s article "Raising Cultural Awareness," this writer has included an excerpt from an essay by Daryl Michael Scott, Howard University, for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History as follows: The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society. As a Harvard-trained historian, Carter G. Woodson, like W. E. B. Du Bois before him, believed that truth could not be denied and that reason

would prevail over prejudice. His hopes to raise awareness of African American's contributions to civilization was realized when he and the organization he founded, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (“ASNLH”), conceived and announced Negro History Week in 1925. The event was first celebrated during a week in February 1926 that encompassed the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The response was overwhelming: Black history clubs sprang up; teachers demanded materials to instruct their pupils; and progressive whites, not simply white scholars and philanthropists, stepped forward to endorse the effort. By the time of Woodson's death in 1950, Negro History Week had become a central part of African American life and substantial progress had been made in bringing more

Americans to appreciate the celebration. At mid–century, mayors of cities nationwide issued proclamations noting Negro History Week. The Black Awakening of the 1960s dramatically expanded the consciousness of African Americans about the importance of black history, and the Civil Rights movement focused Americans of all color on the subject of the contributions of African Americans to our history and culture. The celebration was expanded to a month in 1976, the nation's bicentennial. President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” That year, fifty years after the first celebration, the association held the first African American His-

tory Month. By this time, the entire nation had come to recognize the importance of Black history in the drama of the American story. Since then each American president has issued African American History Month proclamations. And the association—now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (“ASALH”)—continues to promote the study of Black history all year. Beloved, African Americans have not only come a long way but we have a great and rich history. We owe it to our children and future generations after them to teach them about our history. As we share our history it raises the cultural competence of our young people and teaches them about whom they are and how far we have come. Our young people need to hear about our history and it is up to us as parents, teach-

Education

Bulletin Board Initiatives aimed at boosting district attendance A little encouragement can go a long way in helping students develop good habits and gain the understanding of why it's so important to attend school regularly. Milwaukee Public Schools has been proactive in addressing student attendance. Initiatives enacted in recent years have produced encouraging results with districtwide attendance showing gradual improvement. Victory K-8 School for the Gifted and Talented and Italian Immersion has seen its absenteeism rate fall from 16.4 percent in 2012-2013 to 12.1 percent for the 2014-2015 school year. Karen Horn, an MPS social worker providing attendance support, said intervention

has been effective and teaching students about being in school regularly is a responsible behavior, which must be learned in early childhood. "Good habits are instilled over time, so if they have developed good attendance habits by the time they are in middle school and high school, students are more likely to be at school," Horn said. Partnerships with organizations such as City Year Milwaukee have helped deliver more positive outcomes for students. The non-profit organization provides resources to schools, which have more students at risk of not getting the education they need. City Year Milwaukee has

about 85 volunteers working at nine MPS school buildings, focusing on students in grades 3-9, said Chris Castro, the organization's senior director of program and ser-

which inspires them to want to be in school and succeed. Research conducted by the group shows if students reach 10th grade and are proficient in math and reading, do not have severe behavioral issues and have a 90 percent attendance rate or better, they are four times more likely to graduate from high school than students who are struggling. "A big reason some kids don't come to school is because it may not be a positive experience for them," Castro said. "What we try to do vice. is provide positive feedback City Year offers a variety and if a student is off track, of services from mentoring we work on strategies to get to tutoring but also encour- them back on track." ages students by providing positive reinforcement,

Music always has been part of Li’ Tayia Hightower’s life. “I took violin and guitar lessons as a young child and as I grew older, music just became more interesting to me,” said Hightower, an eighth grader at the Lincoln Center for the Arts. Lincoln offers families a location near downtown Milwaukee's arts and cultural attractions where students study with and through the arts, positively impacting all students' academic achievement. MPS has devoted more re-

sources to art and music to provide a broader educational experience for students. The MPS Music Education curriculum is based on Wisconsin’s Model Standards for Music Education, which is designed to help students be problem solvers, skilled communicators, produce highquality work and become lifelong learners. Additionally, how the mind comprehends music, it improves thinking skills, especially in areas of mathematical reasoning and logic. Hightower, a member of

Health & Fitness

Three signs you’re an emotional eater Picture this: It’s been a long day at work, you got stuck in traffic on your way home, and you just remembered that you have to bake two dozen cookies for your child’s bake sale, which is tomorrow – your head is spinning! The minute you walk through that front door, you head straight for the kitchen, reach for the bag of chips and get to munching. Sound familiar? If you answered yes, there’s a good chance that you might be an emotional eater, but you’re not alone. The reality is most of us don’t eat to live. Food is also used for comfort, stress relief or as a way to celebrate. In the long run though, emotional eating can affect your weight, health and overall well-being. Here are three signs that you’re an emotional eater, as well as a few ways you can start taking back control. 1. You eat even when you’re not hungry. If your stomach isn’t growling, rumbling or making any other strange noises, yet you still feel the urge to eat something, then you’re not actually hungry. What you’re really seeking is emotional nourishment. Listen to

your body. It’ll let you know when it’s time to reach for another snack or meal. If you must eat, grab something healthy. For instance, if you’re craving sweets, opt for a small fruit salad instead. 2. You feel guilty after eating. When most of us are stressed out, we turn to unhealthy foods, such as potato chips, donuts, chocolate, pizza and so on, but emotional eaters get a rush as they eat because they’re trying to satisfy an emotional hunger. You need food to fuel your body, so it shouldn’t be something you feel guilty about. But, when you’re eating to fill a void, you’re more likely to feel guilty afterward. Emotional eating often leads

to overeating, making you feel even worse than before. 3. You have anxiety when you’re not eating. If you’re not eating, but all you can think about is food and it’s causing you stress, then you might be an emotional eater. Before you reach for that extra slice of cake, stop and ask yourself, “Am I hungry right now? Why do I feel the urge to eat? What’s bothering me at this particular moment?” By taking a minute to think before you eat, the more likely you are to make smarter choices. Six Strategies to combat "Out-of-control" eating #1. Ask yourself, "are you an emotional eater?" Emotional eating is the troublesome use of food to

take care of emotional needs (to manage stress, boredom, anxiety, anger, loneliness, etc.). Here's how emotional eating works. Food and "food thoughts" are used as distractions from uncomfortable feelings. For example... you have a fight with a family member or with your boss. Suddenly, you find yourself thinking about the chocolate candy in the cupboard or in the candy machine down the hall. As soon as you start thinking about the chocolate, you are no longer focused on how angry you feel. People use food thoughts and food because doing so helps them manage their mood. #2. Recognize "emotional eating" When you reach for food, ask yourself, "Am I turning to food to meet a physical need--am I really hungry? Or, am I focusing on food to avoid feeling bored, stressed, angry, lonely, etc.?" #3. Stop dieting and stop weighing yourself ! Diets don't work! Food restriction sets an emotional eater up for more emotional eating... and the scale makes people crazy! Why give a scale that kind of power? Get rid of it. (If you absolutely must monitor your ups and downs, the fit of your clothes will tell you everything you want to know.) #4. Explore why you are so obsessed with weight Does this sound familiar? "If I could just lose weight, I'd be happy." Think about that. Is your life really that simple or one- dimensional? Or, is it possible that your focus on your weight gives you an illusion of control? Blaming all of life's disappointments on weight, body shape or size, can feel safer than taking a good, long, honest look

"The workings of the human heart are the profoundest mystery of the universe. One moment they make us despair of our kind, and the next we see in them the reflection of the divine image."

at other life issues-like your relationship skills, your feelings about emotional and/or sexual intimacy, personal or career change, etc. #5. Develop new skills and healthier coping strategies The use of food to manage mood is a self-reinforcing behavior. Somewhere along the way (consciously or unconsciously), you tried it and it worked. You learned that it worked; therefore, it became a habit. The good news is you can now consciously learn new, healthier habits for emotional regulation (take a class, hire a coach, or work with a counselor who specializes in emotional eating and mood regulation issues). #6. Shift your focus to self-care Develop an extensive SelfCare List. On it, list everything you can think of that gives you pleasure. (If you can't think of anything, explore new strategies. Ask other people what they do to manage stress, to self-nurture, and to have fun.) Carry the list around with you. Pull it out every time you're tempted to use food to meet an emotional need. Eventually, these new habits that you're developing will begin to replace the old emotional eating habit and will feel much better in both the short and long runs. For lasting behavioral change to occur, the focus must shift from dieting and weight loss--to self-care and a desire for improved health, eating well and being fit. Remember, dieting and deprivation are traps for an emotional eater. Self-Care is the way out.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Getting serious? Five important money questions to ask Valentine's Day is often a time to reflect on your relationship, and consider the next step. If your relationship is heading toward joint finances, it's essential to talk about it first – openly and honestly. A 2014 survey (http:// www.nefe.org/press-room/ news/financial-infidelityposes-challenge-for-couples. aspx) by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) found that 13 percent said they had failed to share information about their personal debt or income, which had "an effect on the relationship." This year, consider thinking beyond the roses and candlelight dinners to a potential future of merged finances. Here are five key questions that should drive your conversation: Where are you financially as individuals? Take time to talk about your household debt – including student loans, credit cards, mortgage and medical bills, and share your credit reports from the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). Each can

be obtained once a year for free (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action). It's also important to discuss assets – not only the savings and investments you hold, but also how future job or education plans can improve the marriage or family's financial health. What are your money personalities? This is a personal finance question that many financial planners still ask to get a sense

of your money management habits. It's intended to identify which person in the relationship is the spender or the saver. It's particularly important to ask each other whether you save or spend to make sure you're on track to achieve your long-term goals. How do you want to live? This question is about shared financial and personal goals and how you will achieve them together. Discuss how you've been living thus far,

and what you might change. Be honest about where you want to live, what kind of home and family you want to have, what kind of career or retirement you want and start discussing concrete ways you both will get there. How will you handle everyday spending? Determine how you will share accounts, pay bills, budget, save for the future and bank – jointly, separately or both. Figure out how will you jointly manage credit and the smartest ways to save for retirement. If you want a family, decide how you'll plan for kids financially. Finally, work together when problems come up. As with all issues in a relationship, ongoing communication is key. What if you need help? There are options if you or your partner doesn't know where to start. Licensed financial and tax professionals can provide guidance on issues from basic budgeting (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/savingspending/ budgeting/) to prenuptial agreements. Friends and family are a good resource

for recommendations. Also keep in mind that some religious denominations actually offer solid financial planning advice as part of premarital counseling and the NEFE has a quiz (http://www. s m a r t a b o u t m o n e y. o r g / Tools-Resources/LifeValues-Quiz.aspx) for potential spouses. For debt issues, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling is a good independent resource that can offer advice on improving credit issues as a couple. The earlier you can put together an advisory team that fits your needs, the better. Bottom line: If you and your sweetheart are considering tying the knot or expanding your family, don't ignore money issues. It can be a difficult conversation to initiate, but it's an important one to start planning your financial future together.
