Fire and Police Commission sustains Manney’s firing

By Steve Waring Special to the Milwaukee Times (Part 1 of a 3-part series) A three-panel jury consisting of members of the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission upheld Police Chief Edward Flynn’s decision to fire Christopher Manney after the 12-year, decorated veteran shot and killed Dontre Hamilton, a 31-year-old African American man after a ‘pat down’ search of Hamilton escalated into a physical altercation at Red Arrow Park on April 30, 2014.

The hearing was the first test of a new more stringent Milwaukee Police Dept. policy on so-called ‘pat down’ searches and also the first test of a process that includes more civilian oversight of police disciplinary decisions.

During the unprecedented five-day hearing lawyers for Manney, 38, noted that during more than 12 years of

service, the former officer had accumulated just one minor infraction (missing a court date) while earning a Lifesaving Award as well as numerous other commendations. He had also removed more than 50 illegally concealed weapons during previous searches that were considered justifiable.

However a few months before the fatal encounter with Hamilton, the Milwaukee Police Dept., adopted a more stringent policy before an officer could initiate a so-called ‘pat down’ search of outer garments. Previously an officer need only notice a bulge in clothing or have a suspicion that the subject was carrying a weapon in order to initiate a search. Under the more stringent policy modified in June 2013, an officer must notice a weapon and have a reasonable fear that the subject intends to use it against either the officer or someone else.

any kind, including homelessness, as was alleged in the citizen complaint against Hamilton, are prohibited.

Another policy change made in January 2014 modified the policy that Milwaukee police officers are to use when approaching subjects for questioning. Manney was justified in using deadly force, but was fired for violating the

Alderman Hamilton outlines need for safe zone initiative

First District Alderman Ashanti Hamilton, along with community residents, held a press conference on March 20, 2015, in the Garden Homes area, to announce the launching of “Promise Zones,” an initiative aimed at combatting violence, crime, unemployment and abandoned homes in distressed neighborhoods in the City of Milwaukee. Other elected officials present for the announcement were : Alderman Russell Stamper and Milwaukee County Board Supervisor Khalif Rainey. Khalil Coleman (center) of Peace for Change is addressing the media.

it alone,” Alderman Hamilton said. “MPD has repeatedly called on community members to take a more active role in stabilizing their neighborhoods, and in our most challenged areas, unfortunately there are few residents willing to answer that call.”

In an effort to change that, Alderman Hamilton is working with Khalil Coleman, Shawn Moore, Muhammad Mosque #3, New Hope Baptist Church, Northwest Side Community Development Corp., the Garden Homes Neighborhood Association, Peace for Change Alliance, True Strength Group Milwaukee, We Got This, I Will

"In the first three months of 2015, Milwaukee has already racked up 28 homicides. At this time last year, the city had tallied 11 homicides," Alderman Ashanti Hamilton said at a media event held Friday, March 20, 2015.

The neighborhoods experiencing the intense level of violence and criminal activity this year are also the same neighborhoods plagued by foreclosures, high unemployment, failing schools and general disorder.

“The Milwaukee Police Department has been working hard to fight crime throughout the city, but as we all know, they cannot do

new policies on approaching subjects and justification for initiating a ‘pat down’. Ironically Hamilton was neither homeless nor armed. He was previously diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia, according to his family.

There have been a number of delays in the hearing. Manning was officially fired Oct. 15, 2014, but the date for the

appeal seemed to keep receding into the distant future.

The Hamilton family, in cooperation with the Coalition for Justice, began to organize numerous protest marches first seeking to have the officer fired and then to hold the public hearing. The shooting tapped into fears many African Americans have that police are more likely to shoot and kill black suspects than white ones. Several high profile shootings or deaths while in police custody have occurred nationally within the past year.

After the commission members upheld the decision to fire Manney, several members of the Hamilton family, including Dontre’s mother, Maria, thanked their supporters and promised to expand their movement to hold police accountable for wrongful deaths of African Americans.

Not Die Young campaign, Crossing Jordan Ministries, Alpha and Omega Ministries, the Coalition of Hope and the Universal Companies to build a coalition to address the void in what he calls “our community organizing strategy.”

Coleman, Moore, and their partners have designed an approach that is similar to the Interrupters model that has worked in other cities called H.O.O.D. Ambassadors (Helping Others Obtain Direction). H.O.O.D. will operate the Safe Zones across certain neighborhoods where crime, violence and disorder are prevalent, the alderman said.

As an archivist, historian, and griot, Irene Goggans has a passion for recording historical events that affect the lives of others. However, come this May, Ms. Goggans will be making history of her own.

On Sunday, May 17, 2015 Irene Bishop Goggans will receive an honorary doctorate from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) at their 2015 commencement ceremony.

For the past several months a committee has been working to get the honor bestowed on Ms. Goggans. The committee was comprised of a number of UWM faculty, community, business and religious leaders. "This was a joint effort to 'bring honor where honor is truly deserved'," said Dr. Joan Prince, Vice Chancellor of Global Inclusion and Engagement for UWM. Deserved because Ms. Goggans has truly been an asset to the community.

For over 60 years in Milwaukee, Irene has met many people, and has kept records of their accomplishments and happenings. To date, she has collected and assembled more than 300 scrapbooks archiving events, people, places and things pertaining to life in Black Milwaukee.

Irene Goggans Much of that work has been called upon by many organizations, who have drawn upon Irene’s expertise as a local historian. She has been a contributor to several programs produced by Milwaukee Public Television; a video presentation paying tribute to local photojournalist Harry Kemp; as a writer and consultant to The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper for its “Golden Moments” events; and as St. Matthew C.M.E. Church's necrologist.

Ms. Goggans received her official congratulatory letter on Monday, March 23, 2015.

Ms. Goggans was "shocked, speechless, and humbled at the honor," said Dr. Prince.

"The community is so deserving of some good news."

African American Chamber of Commerce Wisconsin leads discussion on Milwaukee Bucks arena development Bucks officials, city leaders gather for community conversation With the deadline looming for the construction of the new arena, city leaders, Milwaukee Bucks officials and the business community gathered on Monday, March 9, 2015, for an in-depth discussion focused on the potential impact of the development. The discussion, sponsored and facilitated by the African American Chamber of Commerce Wisconsin (AACCW), and was held at The Big Eazy Restaurant.

Featuring Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin and Bucks Investor Cory Nettles, the conversation was a candid discussion of the issues surrounding the development project – from selecting the proper location to the use of state bonding for funding. Those both in

The African American Chamber of Commerce Wisconsin has been at the forefront of discussions concerning the role of small businesses in city development and revitalizing Milwaukee. The Community Conversation with the Bucks was an illustration of the chamber’s phenomenal programming designed to propel its mission.”

Founded on four pillars of service – advocacy, access to capital, business development, and community engagement – the AACCW is the conduit for entrepreneurial and community development.

Students, alumni, faculty, and community members speak out against UW budget cuts Opposition to the proposed public authority and budget cuts to the University of Wisconsin System was again prominent at the second Joint Finance Committee hearing at Alverno College Monday, March 23, 2015.

"Today, the members of the Joint Finance Committee heard more stories of Wisconsin residents and alumni who are opposed to the massive budget cuts and unnecessary public authority,” said Dr. Kelly Wilz, a faculty member at UW-Marshfield/ Wood County who is serving as volunteer Chairperson of Save The Wisconsin Idea.

“Earlier this week, we heard

from dozens of community members speaking in favor of public education in Brillion, and today more students, alumni, faculty members, and concerned community members made their voice heard.

We strongly urge the members of the Joint Finance Committee to listen to these stories and the individuals testifying in support of a strong, affordable university system and reduce the harmful budget cuts.”

Governor Walker’s proposed $300 million budget cut and plan for a public authority for the University of Wisconsin System have received intense public criticism. Opposition to budget

Finance Committee public hearings, numerous lawmakers of both parties have indicated they do not support the Governor’s plan, and legislative leaders are looking to reduce the budget cut and retain oversight for the University of Wisconsin System.

“Legislators should reject the public authority and fully fund higher education in Wisconsin,” added Wilz.

address those issues that are important to the people of Milwaukee – local and national politics, unemployment and underemployment, the Black male incarceration rate, inequity in contracting, and healthcare disparity, which is near and dear to my heart. Police involved shootings and gun violence, in general, will also be issues we focus on the show. There’s a lot to talk about and resolve.

We’ll do that daily on The Eric Von Show.”

Remarks by the President at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches (part 3) (Continued from last week)

let that hundred go back to Washington and gather four hundred more, and together, pledge to make it their mission to restore that law this year. That’s how we honor those on this bridge.

“Of course, our democracy is not the task of Congress alone, or the courts alone, or even the President alone. If every new votersuppression law was struck down today, we would still have, here in America, one of the lowest voting rates among free peoples. Fifty years ago, registering to vote here in Selma and much of the South meant guessing the number of jellybeans in a jar, the number of bubbles on a bar of soap. It meant risking your dignity, and sometimes, your life.

“What’s our excuse today for not voting? How do we so casually discard the right for which so many fought?

How do we so fully give away our power, our voice, in shaping America’s future? Why are we pointing to somebody else when we could take the time just to go to the polling places? We give away our power.

“Fellow marchers, so much has changed in 50 years. We have endured war and we’ve fashioned peace. We’ve seen technological wonders that touch every aspect of our lives. We take for granted conveniences that our parents could have scarcely imagined. But what has not changed is the imperative of citizenship; that willingness of a 26-year-old deacon, or a Unitarian minister, or a young mother of five to decide they loved this country so much that they’d risk everything to realize its promise.

“That’s what it means to love America. That’s what it means to believe in America.

That’s what it means when we say America is exceptional.

“For we were born of change. We broke the old aristocracies, declaring ourselves entitled not by blood-

This week we continue with President Barack Obama's speech marking the 50th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery.

“With effort, we can roll back poverty and the roadblocks to opportunity. Americans don’t accept a free ride for anybody, nor do we believe in equality of outcomes.

But we do expect equal opportunity. And if we really mean it, if we’re not just giving lip service to it, but if we really mean it and are willing to sacrifice for it, then, yes, we can make sure every child gets an education suitable to this new century, one that expands imaginations and lifts sights and gives those children the skills they need. We can make sure every person willing to work has the dignity of a job, and a fair wage, and a real voice, and sturdier rungs on that ladder into the middle class.

“And with effort, we can protect the foundation stone of our democracy for which so many marched across this bridge –- and that is the right to vote. Right now, in 2015, 50 years after Selma, there are laws across this country designed to make it harder for people to vote. As we speak, more of such laws are being proposed. Meanwhile, the Voting Rights Act, the culmination of so much blood, so much sweat and tears, the product of so much sacrifice in the face of wanton violence, the Voting Rights Act stands weakened, its future subject to political rancor.

“How can that be? The Voting Rights Act was one of the crowning achievements of our democracy, the result of Republican and Democratic efforts. President Reagan signed its renewal when he was in office. President George W. Bush signed its renewal when he was in office. People were willing to die for the right to protect it.

If we want to honor this day,

line, but endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. We secure our rights and responsibilities through a system of self-government, of and by and for the people. That’s why we argue and fight with so much passion and conviction -- because we know our efforts matter. We know America is what we make of it.

“Look at our history. We are Lewis and Clark and Sacajawea, pioneers who braved the unfamiliar, followed by a stampede of farmers and miners, and entrepreneurs and hucksters.

That’s our spirit. That’s who we are.

“We are Sojourner Truth and Fannie Lou Hamer, women who could do as much as any man and then some. And we’re Susan B. Anthony, who shook the system until the law reflected that truth. That is our character.

“We’re the immigrants who stowed away on ships to reach these shores, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free –- Holocaust survivors, Soviet defectors, the Lost Boys of Sudan.

We’re the hopeful strivers who cross the Rio Grande because we want our kids to know a better life. That’s how we came to be.

“We’re the slaves who built the White House and the economy of the South.

We’re the ranch hands and cowboys who opened up the West, and countless laborers who laid rail, and raised skyscrapers, and organized for workers’ rights.

“We’re the fresh-faced GIs who fought to liberate a continent. And we’re the Tuskeegee Airmen, and the Navajo code-talkers, and the Japanese Americans who fought for this country even as their own liberty had been denied.

“We’re the firefighters who rushed into those buildings on 9/11, the volunteers who signed up to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. We’re the gay Americans whose blood ran in the streets of San Francisco and New York, just as blood ran down this bridge.

“We are storytellers, writers, poets, artists who abhor unfairness, and despise hypocrisy, and give voice to the voiceless, and tell truths that need to be told.

“We’re the inventors of gospel and jazz and blues, bluegrass and country, and hip-hop and rock and roll, and our very own sound with all the sweet sorrow and reckless joy of freedom.

“We are Jackie Robinson, enduring scorn and spiked cleats and pitches coming straight to his head, and stealing home in the World Series anyway.

“We are the people Langston Hughes wrote of who “build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how.” We are the people Emerson wrote of, “who for truth and honor’s sake stand fast and suffer long;” who are “never tired, so long as we can see far enough.”

“That’s what America is.

Not stock photos or airbrushed history, or feeble attempts to define some of us

as more American than others. We respect the past, but we don’t pine for the past.

We don’t fear the future; we grab for it. America is not some fragile thing. We are large, in the words of Whitman, containing multitudes.

We are boisterous and diverse and full of energy, perpetually young in spirit. That’s why someone like John Lewis at the ripe old age of 25 could lead a mighty march.

“And that’s what the young people here today and listening all across the country must take away from this day.

You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, because you’re ready to seize what ought to be.

“For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there’s new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed.

And it is you, the young and fearless at heart, the most diverse and educated generation in our history, who the nation is waiting to follow.

“Because Selma shows us that America is not the project of any one person. Because the single-most powerful word in our democracy is the word “We.” “We The People.” “We Shall Overcome.” “Yes We Can.” That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given, to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.

“Fifty years from Bloody Sunday, our march is not yet finished, but we’re getting closer. Two hundred and thirty-nine years after this nation’s founding our union is not yet perfect, but we are getting closer. Our job’s easier because somebody already got us through that first mile. Somebody already got us over that bridge.

When it feels the road is too hard, when the torch we’ve been passed feels too heavy, we will remember these early travelers, and draw strength from their example, and hold firmly the words of the prophet Isaiah: 'Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on [the] wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint'.

“We honor those who walked so we could run. We must run so our children soar. And we will not grow weary. For we believe in the power of an awesome God, and we believe in this country’s sacred promise.

“May He bless those warriors of justice no longer with us, and bless the United States of America. Thank you, everybody.

Rebuilding Our Community

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

What’s your why?

Over the past three years, I have attended a number of meetings that focused on the growing list of issues and challenges that are so real in Milwaukee as well as in other cities across America.

The sheer volume of the issues being discussed has been surreal, to say the least.

This mixture of meaningful conversations has included me attending a number of conferences, special presentations, seminars and workshops. In addition I have been invited to be a part of workgroups and planning teams as well as to listen to subject matter experts, guest speakers, writing proposals and O yes, my favorite...webinars. As you can imagine, I have lost track of what I participated in and of course there have been so many that I could not attend them all.

Everywhere you go, people are talking about the “hot” issues of the day, how to make the city better, neighborhoods safer, better housing, economic development, job creation, mental health, gun violence and who is doing what. This is all good to some degree and certainly there are times in which we must make time to have a healthy discussion about what we are dealing with. But what is interesting to me in my observations is that certain events which highlight a particular issue also serve as a time in which to celebrate what has been done, give out some awards, shake a few hands, pats on the back, a decent meal, a high five here and there.

However, at the end of the day, the event only scratched the surface of a particular

Being Frank This is what African Americans wanted. African Americans wanted to be in a country where they could live out their wildest dreams. African Americans wanted a country where they could raise a family. African Americans wanted a country where they had a voice in the political landscape. African Americans wanted, those who knew the concept, Shangri-La. Happily for African Americans they got it, USA style.

Shangri-La a mythical place from James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon. ShangriLa where the people live in harmony with one another.

Shangri-La is a permanently happy land where peace and wellness are the norm. The people are extremely long lived and show little aging in this utopian world. This is what many African Americans wanted from the USA. They got their wish but just like a movie the USA version is different from the book.

We could analyze the news from the past few weeks and assume things were going to feces. In Mississippi an African American male was found hanging from a tree.

The FBI has told the public to be patient until further results can verify if it was suicide or not. A 28-year-old African American NFL player detained by police looking for a 40-to 50-year-old man with a grey beard. The exciting events never seem to stop. This is the USA version of Shangri-La. In the USA Shangri-La,

problem and like the “wind”... the focus moves on to something else. I was still looking for the next steps in the program, the process, down the road solutions and some closure. In the end, I guess and hope that someone had been helped... I believe? Maybe I am missing the whole aim of these kinds of activities; is it to only talk about it? Or is it to find some kind of solution? It seems like that there is a revolving door to these kinds of events, one day they are here and the next they are gone. And if you miss out on one, perhaps something

like it will come again, real soon.

The real tragedy of all this “active engagement” of mine is the fact that a lot of people become frustrated by the process, they don’t get involved at all, it has become too much or they simply just walk away. The challenges and hurdles become so many that you get a sense that no one really cares how things go, the people and the outcomes. This stuff gets so bad sometimes that it makes you wonder, how in the world does anyone really qualifies for anything? In the midst of it all, people and the communities in which they live, bear the full brunt of the decisions that are made and sadly the people making all the decisions do not live there and are paid to do this kind of work. Unless you

know your “why,” the true reason you get involve, then nothing else matters. What do you think?

Shangri-La, USA style

African Americans have gotten everything they wanted or deserved. USA Shangri-La is here to take care of their needs. To bad African Americans didn’t take time to read Hilton’s book. Everyone knows the book is always better than the movie or real life.

Frank James IV © 2015 beingfrankwithfrank@

African Americans have the opportunity to go to college anywhere in the world. This is one of the main things past African American leaders wanted out of USA Shangri -La. Today African American children go to school with white children. This point was one African Americans demanded from USA Shangri-La. In major cities there are even black school superintendents. USA Shangri La threw that one in for free. African Americans are so lucky to live in their dream country.

African Americans can live anyplace they can afford. No longer do they have to live in squalor amongst themselves. African Americans can live next to anyone. This was another major demand African Americans wanted from USA Shangri-La. USA Shangri-La threw in a bonus by tearing down some parts of the ghetto and building new houses. African Americans occupy some of these new homes. There are African Americans who only pay a small percent of the rent/

mortgage. USA Shangri La pays the rest.

To show the generosity of USA Shangri-La an African American was named President of the country. An African American president living in the White House? This was something past African Americans only dreamed about on opium. With a history of African American senators, governors and congressmen, the political voice has been achieved. Don’t even think about the number of African American mayors in USA Shangri-La. African Americans should be rejoicing. The final assimilation into USA Shangri-La is here. Just look at the African American population. Many African Americans dress in the elite fashion statement pioneered by Caucasian hillbillies. Many African Americans refuse to date or even be cordial to other African Americans. USA Shangri-La embraces this by showcasing African Americans in movies being naughty with whites.

Interracial mingling was the final taboo and it’s gone.

Bible engagement: An essential discipline for spiritual growth (week 4) “You must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” - 2 Peter 3:18, NLT When a believer receives Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they are encouraged to begin reading and studying their Bible in order to develop a deeper relationship with God. For some new believers, they begin diving into God’s Word immediately and begin to experience spiritual growth. Others unfortunately do not and never grow in the Lord. Then there is a group that begins growing but then their desire for reading the Scriptures begins to wane. These believers may be regular attendees at church, they may participate in the auxiliary activities, and even hold leadership positions in church; but their spiritual growth has idled. A neglected duty of many believers is the duty to spiritually grow. Regardless of how long a person has been saved, their life must be categorized by growth.

This month, in response to reader request, this column has concentrated on the importance of Bible engagement and its relationship to spiritual growth. In continuation, this week this column will provide the concluding tips to help you make Bible study a priority in your life. Originally published in Charisma Magazine

by J. Lee Grady in an article titled: How to Make Bible Study A Priority (January 2014), the following tips will prove to be helpful to every student of God’s Word.

• Keep Jesus at the center of your study. It is great to read the entire Bible and to learn as much as possible

from the Old and New Testaments. But keep the Gospels at the core of your Bible study because the entire Bible revolves around Jesus.

Be sure to spend lots of time reading Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as these books are the heart of the Bible.

• Become a gold miner.

Studying the Bible is like mining for precious metals or jewels. Expect to find treasure! One way is to look at a passage from different angles. When you read the book of Acts, for example, you can look for references to the Holy Spirit’s supernatural power and find much revelation. Then, the next time you can read it from the

angle of prayer. Every book of the Bible is like a multifaceted diamond, and light will sparkle from every angle.

• Write down your insights. Keep a journal nearby so you can record what God is showing you. Write down the revelations you receive.

Writing these down will help you remember them.

• Learn to meditate on scripture. God told Joshua that he would be successful if he would meditate on His law day and night (Joshua 1:8). But how do you meditate? One way is to memorize a verse and repeat it in your heart during the day—while you work out, while driving, etc. The Hebrew word for “meditate” refers to a cow chewing its cud. You should learn to “chew” a verse of the Bible over and over and make it personal.

Beloved, remember every passage in God’s Word plays a huge part in God’s unfolding plan of redemption.

Make room in your schedule daily for studying the Scriptures. Read through the

Bible and meditate on the passages. Over and above all other considerations, take your time in God’s Word as you do not want to miss what God has for you!

UWM’s Life Impact inspires, supports hard-working student parents When she graduated from UWM in 2013, Chanel Edwards had a school-aged son and five job offers. The Life Impact Program at UW-Milwaukee had one more success story in its archive Originally established in partnership with the Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation, Life Impact is a unique wraparound program that aims to lift families out of poverty by helping UWM students navigate both parenthood and college.

“Because we know that children who have parents that go to college are more likely to go to college themselves, we can have a huge impact on a family by helping student parents,” says Life Impact Program Manager Natalie Reinbold. “Student parents have amazing strengths, such as the ability to juggle multiple responsibilities and a high level of motivation to graduate. Giving this group of students some support is a sure way to see success."

Life Impact scholars must

apply to the program and for financial aid. If selected, they must maintain a 2.5 GPA, meet twice a semester for one-one sessions with program staff and attend a workshop. When students visit the Life Impact office, even just to grab a cup of coffee, staff members are trained to check how they’re doing on a personal and academic level. “Any time we have an interaction with a student,” Reinbold says, “we’re really assessing to determine if there’s something we can provide in terms of

Given its success, UWM administrators want to get the word out to the community to attract more disadvantaged parents who have untapped university potential.

“Sometime, we have to find them and encourage them,” Reinbold says. “Many prospective students don’t even know that they could get into UWM, let alone get a scholarship.”

How do the university and the program’s funders know it’s working?

Well, look at the numbers.

As of February 2015, the program has served a total of 172 student-parents, with a graduation and retention rate of 86.2 percent.

By supporting their parents, the program has served a total of 237 children since

support.”

Encouraging young parents to see that that a college degree is attainable and affordable for them, especially if they're not already pursuing a degree, can be a challenge. In addition to a $5,000 Life Impact scholarship that covers almost half of annual UWM tuition and fees, the program puts student parents in regular touch with a life coach, access to emergency funds and staff who can help them apply for essential Food Share and childcare benefits.

More proof is in the personal stories.

Current Life Impact scholar Dezirae Taylor, a social work major and mom to a two-year-old daughter, says Reinbold and her staff are a top reason she’s managed to stay in school full-time.

She hopes to graduate ahead of schedule. “Because I am a mom I feel a little more pressure to be successful,” she says. When her daughter enters school herself, Taylor says she wants her to look up and know “my mom has her degree.”

Education

MPS: Op Ed.

Michael Bonds, PH.D. President Milwaukee Public School Board of Governance

Speaking out for public education

The Wisconsin Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee is taking testimony across the state on the impact of Governor Scott Walker’s proposed budget. In hearings that last for up to ten hours, legislators are hearing little support for the Governor’s proposal and lots of concern.

Among the loudest voices are parents, educators and students concerned about the Governor’s cuts to K-12 education. On the heels of his historic cuts to schools in his FY14-15 biennial budget, the Governor has once again made devastating cuts to K-12 education. Schools throughout Wisconsin stand to lose $150 per student or up to $127 million statewide the first year of the budget.

Milwaukee Public Schools could lose up to $23 million, including $12 million in cuts to state aid and another $11 million lost due to a frozen revenue limit that gives the district no ability to account for inflationary increases.

The speakers at the Joint Finance Committee meeting on March 20 at Alverno College included MPS parents

and educators. One of the first to speak was MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver. In her remarks, Dr. Driver reminded legislators that school districts across Wisconsin were joining together in Dr. Kristen Buras, Mrs. Karran opposition to the Royal, and Dr. Raynard Sanders. proposed budget.

Harper The three featured experts are: • Dr. Kristen Buras, an Associate Professor in the Department of Education Policy Studies at Georgia State University in Atlanta. She is considered a leading expert on urban charter schools, has studied education reform in New Orleans for the past decade, and has been active around issues of racial and economic inequity in the city’s public education system for more than two decades; • Mrs. Karran Harper Royal works as an education advocate in New Orleans.

She is a member of the New Orleans Education Equity Roundtable and the Coalition for Community Schools; and • Dr. Raynard Sanders has over thirty-five years of

Experts will also participate in a community-wide panel discussion on Friday, March 27 at 6 p.m. at Parklawn Assembly of God, 3725 N. Sherman Boulevard.

Both events are free and open to the public. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from – and hopefully avoid repeating – the mistakes of New Orleans.

Black children may fare Study: Millions of kidney failure worse with Crohn’s disease patients die for lack of treatment They’re more likely to be readmitted to hospital than white kids with the digestive illness, study found

Race may play a role in outcomes for children and teens with Crohn’s disease, with black patients faring worse than whites, a new study suggests.

“We found racial inequalities exist among children and adolescents with Crohn’s disease, likely due to a combination of genetic and environmental differences,” Dr. Jennifer Dotson, a gastroenterologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and principal investigator in the Center for Innovation and Pediatric Practice, said in a hospital news release.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 4,000 white and black patients with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. They were all aged 21 or younger. All had been hospitalized due to the digestive system disease between 2004 and 2012.

Black patients were 1.5 times more likely to be readmitted to the hospital and required readmission sooner than white patients, according to the study published recently in the IBD Journal.

Black patients were also more likely to have anemia

and vitamin D deficiency, according to the researchers.

And they were more likely to undergo endoscopic procedures, blood product transfusions and treatment with steroids and biologic agents.

However, race did not affect the risk of bowel surgery, which is common in youngsters with Crohn’s disease.

“A physician or other clinical staff may not readily identify these racial differences at a single-practice level, but these gaps may be important on a larger scale,” Dotson said.

Some of the differences, such as increased procedures for blacks, likely stem from differences in the way the disease affects blacks and whites, she explained. But, she also noted, “Other differences may reflect disparities in care, although biologic differences can’t be excluded.”

“Black children were slightly older at the first admission than white children, which could represent a subtle marker of diminished access to medical care or a delay in disease recognition,” Dotson said.

Dire need for low-cost dialysis techniques that could be used worldwide, researcher says More than 2 million kidney failure patients worldwide die prematurely every year because they can’t get treatment, a new study finds.

Researchers analyzed data from 123 countries with 93 percent of the world’s population, and found there were between 5 million to almost 10 million kidney failure patients who required either dialysis or a kidney transplant in 2010.

Of the 2.6 million patients who were treated, 78 percent received dialysis. Of those who received treatment, nearly 93 percent lived in high- to high-middle-income nations, the findings showed.

The investigators also calculated that between 2 million and 7 million kidney failure patients who could have been kept alive if they received either dialysis or a

kidney transplant died prematurely because they could not get treatment.

“The high cost of current dialysis techniques are unaffordable to most people who need it,” study author Vlado Perkovic, a professor at the George Institute for Global Health and the University of Sydney, Australia, said in a journal news release.

“With the number of people receiving dialysis or kidney transplantation set to more than double -- to over 5 million by 2030 -- there is a dire need for low-cost dialy-

sis techniques, as well as population-wide prevention programs to tackle the key risk factors for end-stage kidney disease, including diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity,” Perkovic added.

The study has prompted three international kidney health groups to launch a worldwide competition to design the first affordable dialysis machine.

The prize is $100,000.

“Dialysis machines purify the blood, replacing an essential function of the kidneys. If we can develop an affordable dialysis machine with low operating costs, that runs on solar power and uses local water sources, many more people will have access to the treatment and millions of lives could be saved,” Perkovic said.

Women's History Month reading: Fictional novels of lives of African American women The love for reading can create positive thinking, release stress levels and fortify friendships. Reading has become my fortress to escape the daily battles of life. The following books I would like to share this week examine the unimaginably different lifestyles of African American women who can offer a candid portrait of the American experience in its beauty and cruelty. ENJOY. Lynda

The Secret of Magic By: Deborah Johnson Penguin, Jan 21, 2014 Fiction 416 pages "If you liked The Help, you'll love this one!"

-EW.com In a novel that “brings authentic history to light,” a young female attorney from New York City attempts the impossible in 1946: attaining justice for a black man in the Deep South.

Regina Robichard works for Thurgood Marshall, who

receives an unusual letter asking the NAACP to investigate the murder of a returning black war hero. It is signed by M. P. Calhoun, the most reclusive author in the country.

As a child, Regina was captivated by Calhoun’s The Secret of Magic, a novel in which white and black children played together in a magical forest. The book was a sensation, featured on the cover of Time magazine, and banned more than any other book in the South. And then M.P. Calhoun disappeared.

With Thurgood’s permission, Regina heads down to Mississippi to find Calhoun and investigate the case. But as she navigates the muddy waters of racism, relationships, and her own tragic past, she finds that nothing in the South is as it seems.

Sapphire's Grave

By Hilda Gurley Highgate Crown/Archetype, Dec 18, 2007 Fiction 256 pages The debut of a major new talent, Sapphire's Grave tells the stories of several generations of African American women, bringing their spirit and their sorrow to life with a power, sensitivity, and immediacy.

In 1749 in Sierra Leone, a woman of fierce dignity is captured and forced onto a

slave ship. On the harrowing voyage to the Americas, she is beaten for her unrelenting will and staunch pride. When she arrives, she gives birth to a daughter who is called Sapphire because of the "blackblue-black" complexion she shares with her mother. Sapphire has also inherited her mother's strength and defiant spirit, and despite a life of poverty and oppression, she grows up to mother several daughters of her own. Even when tragedy strikes and part of Sapphire dies, her strength gives rise to a legend that will sustain the women who follow her, "each carrying something of her mother, her grandmother, her aunts; each passing on to her own daughters blessing and cursing, the consequences of her own choosing."

Through the lives of Sapphire and her descendants, Hilda Gurley-Highgate not only creates a poignant and engrossing saga of black women in America, she brilliantly illuminates the meaning of roots and the links between women and their female ancestors, a tie that often appears tenuous, undefined, and distant, but is strong, palpable, and much closer than we imagine. Written in luminous prose, Sapphire's Grave is an astonishing work by an author poised to take the literary world by storm.

Some Soul to Keep

By J. California Cooper.

Macmillan, Oct 15, 1998 Fiction 224 pages In all the stories in Some Soul to Keep, as well as in two earlier collections, Cooper does not attempt to be subtle, indirect, or ambiguous in illustrating her themes and meanings. She uses female first-person narrators who make no pretense of being “literary” and feel free to interject their comments at any point in the story. Her narrators, who are often major characters themselves, invariably have strong feelings about the situations they discuss. It is clear that Cooper is a feminist who admires and advocates hard work, self-reliance, and independence. Her heroines have all led such hard lives that they have lost all illusions. They know which things have real value and are willing to fight hard for them. Their values invariably include such tangible things as real estate and cash in the bank, but they also include love of children, friendship between women, and genuine love between women and men.

Cooper wants to encourage women to think for themselves, to stand on their own two feet, to make the best of any talents they possess, and to refuse to be passive objects manipulated by men.

Her stories make it clear that wholesome relations between men and women, including sexual relations, can be maintained only under conditions of equality. Dependent love is not true love; a weak person cannot really love anyone else and should not expect true love in return for dependency.

Wench: A Novel

By Dolen Perkins-Valdez Harper Collins, Jan 25, 2011 Fiction 320 pages wench \'wench\ n. from Middle English “wenchel,” 1 a: a girl, maid, young woman; a female child.

Situated in Ohio, a free territory before the Civil War, Tawawa House is an idyllic retreat for Southern white men who vacation there every summer with their enslaved black mistresses. It’s their open secret. Lizzie, Reenie, and Sweet are regulars at the resort, building strong friendships over the years. But when Mawu, as fearless as she is assured, comes along and starts talking of running away, things change. To run is to leave everything behind, and for some it also means escaping from the emotional and psychological bonds that bind them to their masters. When a fire on the resort sets off a string of tragedies, the women of Tawawa House soon learn that triumph and dehumanization are inseparable and that love exists even in the most inhuman, brutal of circumstances— all while they bear witness to the end of an era.

An engaging, page-turning, and wholly original novel, Wench explores, with an unflinching eye, the moral complexities of slavery.

UW budget cuts (Continued from pg. 2) for working families.

“These hearings have been, and will continue to be, dominated by those opposed to the cuts to education,” said Wilz. “The Joint Finance Committee should respond to these strong voices of citizens by eliminating the funding cuts for the UW and K-12, rejecting changes to Chapter 36 and the imposition of a public authority, stopping expansion of a voucher program that comes at the expense of public schools for no discernible educational benefit, and protecting accessible, quality technical colleges.”

Public Announcement for an Emergency Research Study of Traumatic Brain Injury in Southeast Wisconsin Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin are studying whether a medicine, Tranexamic Acid, or TXA, will save lives and reduce brain damage after a traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury, such as brain injuries suffered in a car accident or fall, are the leading cause of death for young adults. This study will compare TXA to regular medical care with no TXA, in adults with serious brain injuries. The study will begin May 2015 in southeast Wisconsin and include Milwaukee County Emergency Medical Services and Flight for Life.

Because traumatic brain injury is an emergency, this study meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for exception from informed consent under emergency circumstances.

Opting out of this study: Anyone who does not wish to be enrolled in this study may opt-out by wearing an opt-out bracelet or necklace. The paramedics are trained to not enroll anyone who is wearing this bracelet or necklace. An opt-out bracelet or necklace may be requested free of charge by either calling the Resuscitation Research Center at (414) 805-6493 or email at RRC@mcw.edu.

For information about the study or if you do not want to be included, please call Dr. M. Riccardo Colella at (414)-805-6493, email at RRC@mcw.edu, or visit the website at www.mcw.edu/ROCTXA. .
