Sisterhood and spirituality bond these women globally

By Carmen A. Murguia They stand on the triangle of faith, love, and prayer.

Their colors are white and green. They travel from all over the United States and the world for spiritual bonding, worship, workshops, and most importantly, sisterhood. Dr. Beverly Williams Glover is the International President. And together these 40,000 members are the International Association of Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows (IAMWMW).

Dr. Elizabeth Coles Bouey founded the International Association of Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows in the Fall of 1940.

She was a member of many interdenominational and interracial organizations.

Elizabeth Coles Bouey was a missionary, teacher, organizer, speaker, mother, wife and friend who influenced the lives of countless women and children.

The purpose of the International Association of Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows is to…

• Unite ministers’ wives and ministers’ widows of various Christian denominations into one Christian Fellowship • Sponsor an annual conference that provides information, inspiration, and problem-

solving skill development • Cultivate international good will, develop stronger interpersonal relationships, and foster a more effective communication network • Promote cultural exchange with ministers’ wives and widows around the world • Function as a Christian non-profit corporation and implement the Christian and charitable purposes of the corporation.

The week of June 2128, 2013 Milwaukee hosted the 73rd Annual Convention and I had the honor of gathering voices of members from across the U.S: 1. First Lady Teresa Roddey, Rock Hill, SC, member of Langham Branch Baptist Church in York, SC. “We are very happy to be here. We come each year to the convention in a different state, including outside the country to the Bahamas for spiritual sisterhood. We can bond together in sisterly love and do spiritual worship to enhance our lives. This is an interdenominational convention that brings a sisterhood of ministers' wives and widows who share similar duties and backgrounds of working in the churches.”

2. Mrs. Chanetta Wade, Conneticut, Member.

“I’ve been coming here for years to the annual con-

When the wives come together we let go and we bond with one another.

It’s beautiful. And we are multicultural and multi-denominational from all over the world, and we are 40,000

members strong.”

3. Alva McGowan, minister’s wife of 14 years, Shining Light, Columbus OH, serves as president in her local city.

“This morning’s message touched me. This is my first International Convention and the message was about ‘Serving our Global Community and how God is preparing us as women of God and men of God to

go out and do global work for God.’ The speaker also talked about how we as individuals are being prepared within to do global work for the body of Christ. I’m so happy to be here.”

Council votes against food seller’s license for Dollar Tree

City of Milwaukee to defend state constitution

Joint statement of Mayor Tom Barrett, Common Council President Willie L. Hines, Jr. and Alderman Michael J. Murphy Tuesday, July 2, 2013 the Milwaukee Common Council adopted a resolution to defend the Wisconsin State Constitution. It was immediately signed by Mayor Tom Barrett.

"This resolution directs all city officials to continue enforcement of the City Charter as it relates to our residency requirement. This action represents our commitment to upholding the Wisconsin State Constitution, even

when faced with contradictions in the state statutes.

"It is our belief that the Wisconsin State Constitution supersedes the language prohibiting residency requirements that was enacted in 2013 Wisconsin Act 20. The constitutional “Home Rule” provision was adopted by referendum of the people of this state in 1924, and Milwaukee’s charter ordinance governing residency was adopted in 1938. After 75 years

of being determined by the local elected officials that govern individual municipalities, residency policy cannot have suddenly become an issue of statewide concern.

"We feel we must do everything we can to protect residency, as well as the best interests of the city. Our actions today reflect that we are willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure Milwaukee’s well-being."

Wednesday, July 3, 2013 the full Common Council voted 14-0-1 to approve the recommendation of the Licenses Committee to deny a food seller’s license for the Dollar Tree at 2303 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. "To be consistent with my vote at committee (I serve as vice chair of the Licenses Committee), I abstained from today’s vote at Council.

"Today’s Council action is a victory for neighbors, who have been opposed to the Dollar Tree from the beginning at that location because of the detrimental impact on the neighborhood (litter, traffic, noise, etc.) and the inconsistencies with Bronzeville (Milwaukee’s African-American Arts Cultural & Entertainment District). They were hoping that the property owner’s promise of a grocery store would come to fruition, and obviously that promise has not been kept.

"I have supported the neighbors’ position on this location from the start, and during a public meeting I hosted last month it was abundantly evident that the Dollar Tree was not supported (and that clear Event Photo message was also conveyed Alva McGowan, Shining Light Church, Minister's to the owner of the property).

Awards Banquet Ends Ministers’ Wives and Ministers’ Widows 73rd Annual Conference in Milwaukee

By Don Edward Pannell What’s the best way to celebrate the end of a successful conference? The conference organizers decided to serve a pleasing meal at the Delta Conference Center and present awards to the attendees for their valiant and unselfish efforts. While there were individual awards such as the Ministers’ Widow of the Year which was presented to Mrs. Lorraine Johnson of Indiana, the state participation awards highlighted the evening. The President of the year award went to corecipients Mrs. Evelyn Jones, President Wisconsin chapter and Edith Murry, President Indiana chapter. Mrs. Regina Shaw, Assistant, International Treasurer stated, “This is the first time we chose two states to host the conference.” “Knowing it was a big job,” Mrs. Shaw said, “we wanted it to be a wonderful spirit filled affair.”

As the spirit filled evening progressed, it was evident representatives of Virginia enjoyed the success of receiving numerous awards but were obviously overwhelmed by the extent of their success. When the Virginia state representative approached the awards table so often, you could hear other members proclaiming, “Just have a seat at the table!” The Virginia representative, accompanied by a young escort to assist in making the walk and carrying the awards, accepted several including the largest delegation, the Ada Palmer award, Hicks/Games award for highest financial report, Headquarters Award and the largest state award. Taking a break from Virginia, a previous Milwaukee Times Black Excellence award winner Bregetta Wilson of Wisconsin was presented the Bright Light Award. Other Wisconsin awards were for the small-

neighbors as an excellent approach to civic engagement.

The neighbors attended public meetings (including the Licenses Committee meeting at City Hall) and presented their arguments against the food license, the committee and the Council agreed with them, and in the end they achieved the results they were looking for.

"I will continue working with the neighbors to pursue the proper and best use of the property."

By Frank James IV

Is misery your happiness The trials of life are many.

The one common theme many people's lives share is misery. Many people seem to always catch a bad break or are struggling in one form or fashion. The struggles of life are so commonplace that when there is no struggle many people tend to feel empty. When this happens some adopt other people’s problems to fulfill the lack of misery.

Misery has become the measuring stick for many people's lives in the world.

The majority of people are in such a state of misery until they don’t even realize their dilemma. The normal friendship in today’s society is one where people share their problems. The normal friend accepts their friend’s problems and worries with

them until a solution is found or another problem pops up.

It’s been said that misery loves company, today that saying rings true. If you want to make friends quickly then just let it be known you have problems. Once you tell people you are either struggling or have a problem in life friends become numerous. These friends become more open and sympathetic to your cause when you exude misery and hopelessness.

It’s almost as if the friend is getting off on your misery.

The more negative and morose you become the more into the friendship these people get.

Why is pain and suffering the norm in life? Is it because people have begun to expect suffering? The life goal of many in society has

CHILD WATCH

changed from one of happiness to one of despondency.

Parents are raising children and becoming burdened with their child’s child. The role of family has become a burden many people carry not because they want to but because they have been told to.

The whole illusion of an extended family has been transformed into a nightmare.

No one is free to live as they want, unless they want to be called crazy or selfish.

Relationships have become a trainload of misery that many people just accept.

The absurd notion that you will go through trials and tribulations has warped the modern day relationship.

People get married expecting to have hard times so what do you think they have? The first marriage is called a start-

er marriage because it’s not supposed to succeed. Some of the most miserable people you run across are married.

The most talked about problems deal with relationships.

If you really want to make some friends complain about your lover.

In a world where there are so many technological advances why does misery thrive? One reason is the technology has enabled more miserable people to connect with one another. Facebook enables the world to know every problem you feel like posting. The requests for guidance and prayer are numerous on Facebook. There was a time when people only followed famous people's problems.

Now through social media people burden themselves with the prob-

lems of Joe Average.

Is misery wrong? Who can say at this point? Misery is a choice and the choice is up to the individual. Who wants to laugh and enjoy yourself alone when you can cry and be one with a million other miserable people?

That gun changed our lives forever “My heart was shattered while I was working at 60 Minutes when my only sister was shot and killed by her husband. There was a restraining order that stopped nothing.

“She called me and told me she was worried he was watching her. The next night, April 15th, he invaded the house. Her children, my beautiful 11-year-old niece and nine-year-old nephew, witnessed their mother being shot in the head and in the stomach by their father.

The murder was recorded on 911 because my little niece somehow had the strength and courage when her father was threatening her mother to call 911 and say, ‘You need to come right away because someone is going to get shot here.’ My big sister was buried on my 28th birthday.

“My niece could not save her mother’s life, nor could she keep her father in her life. He serves a life sentence in prison in Pennsylvania.

My niece lives with memories and loss every day and through every milestone in her life with grace and profound humility. With a deep and abiding faith, she has forgiven her father and given her husband and two sons a life full of faith and hope . . .

She lives with the memory of her father pulling the trigger.

We all live with how that gun changed our lives forever.

“There are many days when she still aches to be folded in her mother’s arms. There are days when she aches because her sons have never known their grandparents. Some wounds never heal.”

Patti Hassler, the Children’s Defense Fund’s Vice President of Communications, shared this story of her own family’s heartbreak when a gun changed their lives forever. Pamela Jean Hassler Groff was a beloved sister, daughter, and mother. Now her children have grown up without her and her entire family has been left to wonder what might have been if her husband—still serving his life sentence in prison— had not gotten his hands on a gun.

They are not alone. According to the Department of Justice, in 2010 at least 1,082 women and 267 men were killed by their intimate partners, and 54 percent of these victims were killed

with guns. For the past 30 years, more intimate partner homicides have been committed with a gun than with all other weapons combined; over two-thirds of victims murdered by a spouse or exspouse were killed by guns.

Anger and jealousy do not last forever, but a gunshot fired in an impulsive rage often does. Easy accessibility to lethal guns makes a fatal difference over and over again.

Pamela Jean Hassler Groff did exactly what she was supposed to when her estranged husband became a threat: she sought and obtained a restraining order. It didn’t make a difference. In fact, in many states people who already have court orders against them because they are considered a danger are never required to surrender their access to firearms because the gun lobby has fought tirelessly in favor of them keeping their guns.

As a recent New York

Times article explained: “Advocates for domestic violence victims have long called for stricter laws governing firearms and protective orders. Their argument is rooted in a grim statistic: when women die at the hand of an intimate partner, that hand is more often than not holding a gun. In these most volatile of human dramas, they contend, the right to bear arms must give ground to the need to protect a woman’s life. In statehouses across the country, though, the N.R.A. [National Rifle Association] and other gun-rights groups have beaten back legislation mandating the surrender of firearms in domestic violence situations. They argue that gun ownership, as a fundamental constitutional right, should not be stripped away for anything less serious than a felony conviction — and certainly not, as an N.R.A. lobbyist in Washington State put it to legislators, for the ‘mere issuance of court orders'.” In other words, gun lobbyists would rather wait for a husband who already has a court order requiring him to stay away from his wife to receive an actual felony conviction—for example, one for murdering his wife—before asking him to stay away from guns.

We can do better. We must do better.

Too many American

families have had their lives changed forever by guns because too many Americans have easy, impulsive access to firearms—including hundreds of thousands of Americans who should never be allowed to have them.

In too many cases children are witnesses to gun violence that occurs in their families or the children also become victims. We can do better.

This July 4th weekend supporters of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action are signing an independence from gun violence pledge to rid the country of weak gun laws that allow this preventable epidemic of gun violence to continue. Now is the time to join thousands of supporters of common sense gun safety laws and demand the right to live free of the fear that your family could be the next to be devastated by gun violence.

Voting rights’ decision becomes rallying cry for more diversity on the federal bench

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act means African Americans no longer can be casual observers of this country’s legislative process because it will shape public policies for generations to come.

“Clearly, as evidenced by the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Voting Rights Act (VRA), there is a need now more than ever to ensure diversity in our courts,” said A. Shuanise Washington, president and CEO of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit arm of the Congressional Black Caucus, which represents African-American members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“The 5-4 ruling effectively struck down one of the most-significant provisions in the VRA designed to prevent racial discrimination at the ballot box."

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act was unconstitutional in the case of Shelby County, Alabama v Holder, Attorney General, ET AL. Section 4 established a formula that determined whether racial discrimination in voting had been prevalent in certain areas of the country and to provide for more stringent remedies where it was appropriate.

“Without Section 4, Section 5 is inoperative,” said Dr. David Bositis, senior research associate for Civic Engagement and Governance Institute at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act requires nine states and a number of counties and townships to seek preclearance from the U.S. Justice Department or

a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before making changes to voting laws. The states named are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.

“The ruling rolls back the progress we’ve made to date, and will have disproportionate and harmful effects on African Americans, low-income families, and people of color," Washington said.

She added that the court’s decision also underscores the need for a federal judiciary that mirrors the nation’s racial and gender diversity.

According to the United States Court,nearly 80 federal judicial vacancies exist in circuit and district courts nationwide. Sixty-one vacancies are in the U.S. District Courts and of the 61, 200 nominees to the bench are waiting for Senate confirmation.

“Many of the nominees are women and people of color who bring a wealth of legal acumen, expertise and diverse cultural backgrounds to the practice of law,” Washington said. “These are presidential nominees who have waited more than a hundred days for a floor vote for a “yay” or a “nay” on their confirmations. Delays in Senate confirmations of judicial vacancies impact millions. The longer vacancies on the bench remain, cases linger for years, costing taxpayers billions of dollars.”

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation will host its Annual Legislative Conference Sept. 18 to Sept. 21 in Washington, D.C. The conference will host more than 70 forums and braintrusts to raise awareness and to educate participants about important issues facing the African American community.

Rebuilding our Community

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

It’s closer than you think You have to look real hard to see the almost unnoticeable engraved legend in the passenger side mirror on your car these days. But it reads “objects in mirror are closer than they appear.” This is a safety warning that is now required on all cars in the country regardless of the make, model and color. Since its addition, the number of possible highways accidents have decreased. In other words, side view mirrors have saved lives.

Side view mirrors on cars were created to give a field of sight or view that gives a driver the ability to see oncoming objects at a merge glance. These mirrors help the driver to make safe highway lane changes, maneuvers, and to adjust to other oncoming vehicles. These mirrors help the driver to achieve something that does not come naturally, serve as a reminder of potential problems and to see those dreaded... “blind spots.”

They were designed as convex mirrors, which means that they are curved. These types of mirrors reflect light outwardly and thus objects that are seen in them appear smaller and farther away than they actually are. Such mirrors form what is called a

virtual image, which means it is what the observer sees in their mind and a reproduction of a real object. And sometimes that is a good thing, for seeing oncoming objects in full view would be quite difficult to handle for most people.

Conversely, there is a lot of conversation going on about how best to deal with the mounting real social issues affecting those living in urban America. The view and perception of some people at community based organizations who are working on issues in urban America, writing grants, doing research and organizing events is one… “I see it… our work is needed, but can’t really relate to it.” For others the view and perception is one

of guarded concern...“I support the initiative...believe in the cause, but I am still trying to come to terms with what it all means.”

But for those who reside in the heart and soul of urban blight, poverty, crime, unemployment, and witnessing the dismantling of the social safety network, the view and perception is surreal and in full color.

There is no way of escaping the enormity of the task at hand…”This is not a training exercise…I’m not just seeing things…the reflections... oncoming traffic...these objects are just not side view... but I see them in my front windshield...and in plain sight.”

The Counseling Corner

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

The pain of unrequited love (Week 2)

The Bible tells us that the heart is the seat of all actions of life: of desire (Romans 10:1); love (Mark 12:30, 33); reason (Mark 2:8); belief (Romans 10:10); trust (Proverbs 3:5); and it is from the heart that you are to do God’s will (Ephesians 6:6). Joe Stowell in Fan The Flame says that “The Heart is used in Scripture as the most comprehensive term for the authentic person. It is the part of our being where we desire, deliberate, and decide. It has been described as "the place of conscious and decisive spiritual activity," "the comprehensive term for a person as a whole; his feelings, desires, passions, thought, understanding and will," and "the center of a person. The place to which God turns."

(J. Stowell, Fan The Flame, Moody, 1986, p. 13.) Oftentimes when it comes to matters of the heart, it is a touchy subject because many times it can seem your brain and heart does not speak the same language. They can

leave you in a maze of emotional confusion. This month we are discussing unrequited love. Unrequited love is unreciprocated attraction. You have an interest in someone who doesn't seem to want to return the same feelings toward you. While you may understand that someone is not interested in you or is not right for you, your heart might lead you to languish over someone who does not want to be the recipient of your affection. Huffington Post ran an article on this topic recently and Nicole Forester offered some great tips to help one get over an unrequited love. While Forester is no expert on love, she is speaking from experience.

I found her article to be insightful and interesting and this week and next I will offer those 5 tips for your enlightenment. If you know someone who is currently experiencing an unrequited love, please share these articles with them.

1. Acceptance.

Accepting the reality of the situation may be the most im-

want what it wants in spite of your brain. You need your brain and heart to speak the same language. To help with this, sometimes taking a closer look at your beloved and really seeing ALL of them may display a different picture. When we are attracted to someone, it is easy to magnify their good qualities and make excuses for the bad qualities. When you take the beloved off the pedestal, you might find the torch you were carrying wasn't love at all but simply LUST!

portant and biggest step you can take when dealing with unrequited love. It is important to keep in mind that someone's lack of returned affection does not mean you are a bad person, unattractive or unworthy of love, it simply means they are just not that interested in you. It may not have anything to do with you! It could be a matter of where they are in life. Who knows? But you should not be attempting to figure out a way to "win" their affection!

Besides, anyone who can-

not recognize your own worth and how awesome you are doesn't deserve YOU. Let go of that person and move on. But to do that, you have to accept the situation as it is -- you like him/her and they don't like you. This step stings a little. You may even shed a few tears, but if you can take this first step you are on the way!

2. Remove the Pedestal. While you've analyzed the situation, your brain may be in Canada while your heart is in Australia. The heart will

Erdmann's zeal for spiritual ministry, however, should not suggest he does not understand the functions of business, especially when it comes to a staple such as the church. A business administration major, Erdmann plans to eventually own an enterprise or holdings company where he can franchise multiple businesses under the same umbrella. ''I believe my business administration degree will go hand-in-hand with church ministry, because it's important to know the business side of church to keep it alive and running," said Erdmann.

On Saturday, May 18, 2013, the Wisconsin African American Women, Ltd., hosted its 17th annual Faces of Hope Hat Luncheon at the organization’s community center, 3020 W. Vliet St. This year, the fundraiser’s theme was “Extraordinary People, Extraordinary Acts,” and recognized 18 Milwaukeeans who are actively engaged in keeping Milwaukee a vibrant community through their various professional and personal endeavors. Attendees were able to view an array of stylish hats worn by both female and male attendees; and were entertained by jazz ensemble “Christopher’s Project” and poet Inger “Spitfire” Henderson, who also served as event auctioneer. Pictured with WAAW President Jo Moutry-Hill and Membership Vice-President Ruby Jackson are 2013 honorees: Jim Addison, Woodrow Cain, II, Donald Jackson, Mike Jones, Nzinga Khalid, Geri Lyday, Toni McMurray, Brenda Moore, ReDonna Rodgers, Darlene and Willie Rose, Arlene Skwierawski, Annie Smith, Chandra Staples, Dr. Brenda K.

Education

Milwaukee’s new charter school adopts name change Confusion with University School of Milwaukee prompts change

An MPS charter school opening in Milwaukee this fall announced Monday, July 8, 2013 that it is changing its name to avoid confusion with another local school.

Universal Companies, a Philadelphia non-profit organization dedicated to improving communities through education, real estate, social services technology and wellness, announced in March that they would be opening Universal School of Milwaukee in August of 2013, with two local campus locations, marking the first time Universal Companies opened a charter school outside of Pennsylvania.

They plan to open a number of schools throughout the country under the name Universal School in the coming years.

In May, University School of Milwaukee, a private K-12 college preparatory school in River Hills, filed a federal lawsuit against Universal Companies, claiming this was an infringement on their trademarked names.

After discussions with University School, Universal

Companies agreed to change the name of their Milwaukee school to Universal Academy for the College Bound.

Future schools outside of Milwaukee will still carry the Universal School name.

“Milwaukee offers a welcoming and congenial environment for charter schools,” said UC President Rahim Islam. “We share the same goal as all local schools – to provide a safe, nurturing environment for students so they can earn the quality education they need to guarantee success in our changing world. The fact that we share that goal doesn’t change, regardless of our name.”

“There’s no need for boardroom battles when it comes to children,” said Ronn Johnson, Executive Vice President of Education – Midwest for Universal Companies and longtime local proponent of high quality educational opportunities in the city. “We have the utmost of respect for University School of Milwaukee, and all it has provided for kids from Milwaukee and its surrounding suburbs. Universal

Ronn Johnson Executive VP of Education - Midwest Companies – and Universal Academy for the College Bound – intends to implement a unique and innovative curriculum, in a public school setting, for children growing up in areas where they might not normally have these opportunities.”

The elementary school (Universal Academy for the College Bound – Millennium Campus) will be located at 8th and Capitol Drive and will serve 400 students age kin-

dergarten through 5th grade for the 2013-2014 school year. The middle school campus (Universal Academy for the College Bound -- Renaissance Campus) will be located at 55th and Green Tree and will serve 200 students in 6th and 7th grade.

Once accepted, students may remain at UACB until graduation from 7th grade.

Universal Academy will offer program specialty areas at both school sites catering to students with an aptitude for the arts, or who have excelled in other schools or show the potential for gifted and talented programs.

Universal Companies is a not-for-profit community development and education management corporation formed under the efforts and direction of one of Philadelphia’s greatest talents, world-renowned music composer and producer Kenneth Gamble. Devastated by the blighted conditions of the south Philadelphia neighborhood where he was raised, Gamble, along with his wife Faatimah, cofounded Universal Compa-

nies to challenge and reverse the effects of urban decline.

Since 1993, Universal Companies has been working to rebuild predominantly African American communities with a comprehensive holistic approach to community revitalization. The Universal Plan integrates real estate and economic development with education, social and supportive services to build stronger communities and change lives for the better.

Universal Academy for the College Bound marks the company’s expansion into other educational markets. The company chose Milwaukee because it shares similar characteristics with Philadelphia, from student demographics and low student achievement levels to neighborhoods characterized by disinvestment and high poverty rates in urban areas.

For more information on the schools, please visit UACB.org, call 414-355-5858 or call Ronn Johnson at (414) 233-8173. For information on Universal Companies, please visit www.universalcompanies.org.

Homeschooling might not be the answer By: Linda Warren Homeschooling can be a wonderful option for people looking for an alternative to traditional school. However, homeschooling is not for everyone and it might not be the right choice in a number of circumstances.

Homeschooling requires time.

Homeschooling is a full time job, and if there is not an adult in the home that can dedicate full time to homeschooling, then homeschooling will be difficult to achieve. Homeschooling becomes a lifestyle, not just an educational choice. Of course, there is the possibility that two adults in the home could share homeschooling responsibilities and also maintain their jobs outside the home but it will require work and dedication.

Some states allow homeschooling by people other than parents, and if you live in one of those states it is possible to employ someone to home educate your children. Homeschooling rules are different in each state, and you should research if your state allows others to homeschool your children.

Homeschooling requires a fair amount of time to plan lessons, and in record keeping. This time is in addition to the actual educational time. While it is not required to participate in field trips, time should be allowed for those also. Every opportunity that can enrich a child’s education should be taken

advantage of, but travel and actually participating in field trips does require time. In reality, if you cannot homeschool with the idea of providing your child with a better education than he could achieve in traditional school, then perhaps homeschooling is not for your family.

Homeschooling: Responsibility. Homeschooling is a large responsibility. As the homeschooling parent/ teacher, you are taking on the responsibility that is normally handed off to a teacher and an entire traditional educa-

tion system. As the parent/ teacher you will be responsible not only for planning the lesson, but for teaching the course work, and grading the course work. You will be responsible for keeping the academic records, and recording progress.

Additionally there is the fact that as the parent/teacher you will be required to make sure you and your child are in compliance with state and local education requirements. This responsibility also comes with a time commitment. Research must be

done to determine the legal requirements to homeschool in your state. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and this is never more true than when determining how to stay legal with your department of education when homeschooling.

Homeschooling: Not all students thrive Some students actually thrive in the traditional school setting. They need the competition aspect of having other students around them. These students are driven to do their best by

having others around them to fuel their climb to the top.

Homeschooling might not work for these students because homeschooling, even in a co-op setting is generally aimed at the individual student and does not generally include other students. Even when there are other students in the home, they are usually not in direct competition with each other.

Homeschooling might not be for students who require a lot of special assistance or have special needs. These (Continued on pg. 18)

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

13

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Fat belly or flat belly, you choose (part 4) Believe it or not, now you actually do have a choice. Put aside your reasons for your tummy: runs in the family, baby weight, no will power, no budget for liposuction, or (my personal favorite) "getting older". Instead, be unreasonable - and go for it! Let the Flat Belly Diet be your guide.

In the new book from Rodale Press, Prevention editor-in-chief Liz Vaccariello and co-writer Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, give us a breakthrough 32 day plan for flattening our bellies. And, they promise, "Not a single crunch required."

This week we will learn more about the importance of counting your calories.

Count your calories Following the Jumpstart, for the next 4 weeks, you'll be eating using these rules: less than 400 calories per meal (four meals); no more than 4 hours between meals; MUFAs with every meal. The 1600 calories (based on the

average woman) are plenty to maintain your nutritional status and still lose weight.

Although tasty recipes are provided, using the many nonrecipe suggestions for breakfast, lunches, dinners, and snacks (also 400 calories) make it easy for a woman on the run. These meals are also varied, tasty, and ingenious.

You are free to switch them around, having your snack for breakfast or your dinner for lunch, etc. Check online for vegetarian options and guidance for men who might like to follow the diet. (The one man panelist loved it.)

Go to www.flatbellydiet.com.

In the book, you'll read about the psychological advantages of journaling while changing your eating habits.

There are daily pages you can use to stay on track during the 28 days.

And, there is advice for using this healthy way of eating through time.

When you go online, you'll find flat belly variations all

over the web. You'll also find professionals critiquing the book. The most frequent criticism I found was, "Most women would lose weight on 1600 calories per day".

To me, this misses the point.

MUFAs have been shown to help us lose visceral fat, and flatten our bellies because of it. No other diet to date has this particular emphasis.

However, the book is loaded with hyperbole. The Span-

ish research (only one study) is used endlessly. It's obvious Rodale and the authors are interested in selling lots of books.

But then, if it works when other methods haven't, you will be your healthy and svelte best. Plus, you'll have a means to maintain it for the rest of your life. Seems like a lot of book for about $25.00.

"Not A Single Crunch Required" Maybe not, but if you can breathe, you'd better include some exercise with your flat belly diet. Every test panelist lost fat and inches around their middles. Those who exercised lost more and lost it faster.

The authors write, "Those who added daily exercise lost, on average, 70 percent more body weight [It. Ed.] and 25 percent more inches than the nonexercisers."

The end of the book includes a companion workout plan. The criteria was to create a program most women

would find enjoyable and doable within their already busy and demanding lives ... and, no crunches. The doat-home workout includes cardio, strength training, and core exercises to tone and tighten the mid-section.

Again, there are journal pages to track your progress.

A closing word from Siri I am enjoying the flat belly diet plan. It's easy and I'm never hungry. The only downside for me is that I sometimes forget to time my meals well for the day. This is a problem when I don't eat until10am in the morning.

Otherwise, I have to admit it is the only diet that I have ever found that is fun. I'm a stand that you'll lose weight and have a good time too.

I'll be BLOGging about my progress so check our website www.nutritionnews.com.

it caused 7,233 heat-related deaths in the United States from 1999 to 2009.

These are the main things affecting your body’s ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather: • High humidity. When the humidity is high, sweat won’t evaporate as quickly, which keeps your body from releasing heat as fast as it may need to.

• Personal factors. Age, obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug and alcohol use can play a role in whether a person can cool off enough in very hot weather.

Here are some facts about which people are at greatest risk for heat-related illness and what protective actions to take to prevent illness or death: • People who are at highest risk are the elderly, the very young, and people with chronic diseases or mental illness.

• But even young and healthy people can get sick from the heat if they par-

ticipate in strenuous physical activities during hot weather.

• Air-conditioning is the number one protective factor against heat-related illness and death. If a home is not air-conditioned, people can reduce their risk for heat-related illness by spending time in public facilities that are airconditioned.

• You can take these steps to prevent heat-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths during hot weather: • Stay in an air-conditioned indoor location as much as possible.

• Drink plenty of fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty.

• Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing and sunscreen.

• Schedule outdoor activities carefully.

• Pace yourself.

• Take cool showers or baths to cool down.

• Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you.

• Do not leave children or pets in cars.

• Check the local news for health and safety updates.

Anti-smoking policies will prevent seven million deaths worldwide by 2050: study With the right measures, even more lives can be saved, WHO says Anti-tobacco policies really do stop people from smoking and save millions of lives, a new study finds.

Tobacco control measures enacted in 41 countries between 2007 and 2010 will prevent about 7.4 million premature deaths by 2050, according to the study published June 30 in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization.

“It’s a spectacular finding that by implementing these simple tobacco control policies, governments can save so many lives,” study lead author David Levy, a professor

of oncology at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., said in a medical center news release.

Levy’s team used a modeling exercise to predict the number of lives that will be saved.

The measures the countries implemented include: protecting people from tobacco smoke, offering smokers help to quit, warning people about the dangers of tobacco, banning tobacco ads, promotion and sponsorship, and raising taxes on tobacco.

“In addition to some 7.4 million lives saved, the tobacco control policies we

Dr. Douglas Bettcher, director of the department of non-communicable diseases at the World Health Organization, added that wider implementation of these anti-smoking measures would allow the prevention of millions more smoking-related deaths. examined can lead to other “Tobacco use is the single health benefits, such as fewer most preventable cause of adverse birth outcomes relat- death in the world, with 6 ed to maternal smoking, in- million smoking-attributable cluding low birth weight, and deaths per year today, and reduced health-care costs these deaths are projected

to rise to 8 million a year by 2030, if current trends continue,” Bettcher said in the news release. “By taking the right measures, this tobacco epidemic can be entirely prevented.”

The 41 countries in the study included a total of nearly one billion people, or one-seventh of the world’s population in 2008. The total number of smokers in those countries was nearly 290 million in 2007, the study authors noted.

Dealing with kids’ summer dental surprises Outdoor activities can mean more injuries to teeth

Children play a lot of sports and other outdoor activities during the summer and are at risk for accidents that can damage their teeth, an expert says.

“Collision injuries with a friend, the ground or the side of a swimming pool definitely increase during the summer,” Dr. Stephen Mitchell, a pediatric dentist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said in a university news release.

“If something like this

occurs, remember first and foremost to make sure your child does not have a head injury,” he said. “If they have lost consciousness or are dizzy, or if they can’t remember how the injury happened, get medical attention and worry about the teeth later.”

Once you’re certain there are no medical issues, here are some tips on what to do about damaged teeth: • If a tooth is broken, find the fragment and go immediately to the dentist, Mitchell

Fiber-rich grains tied to lower diabetes risk Brain scans suggest People who eat a diet high marijuana may in fiber-rich whole grains are less likely to develop diabetes squelch motivation or heart disease, according to a review of past studies.

The analysis was conducted for the American Society for Nutrition. In a position statement, the group said evidence suggests foods with cereal fiber or mixtures of whole grains and bran are “modestly associated” with a reduced disease risk.

The strongest evidence for benefit came from cereal fiber, researchers said. That would include breakfast cereals as well as breads and brown rice with a high fiber content listed on the label, according to Teresa Fung, a nutrition researcher at Simmons College in Boston.

“Cereal fiber may be one of the protective ingredients of whole grains that contribute to lower disease risk,” Lu Qi, one of the study’s authors from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, told Reuters Health in an email.

His team’s review included 28 studies that looked at the risk of developing diabetes among people who ate different amounts of whole grain and bran, 33 studies on the risk of cardiovascular disease and 19 on obesity.

Qi and his colleagues found that overall, people

Small study found lower dopamine levels in chronic users can chronic pot smoking really turn people into slackers?

who ate the most cereal fiber or whole grains and bran had an 18 to 40 percent lower risk of diabetes than those who ate the least.

Likewise, people with diets high in cereal fiber had a 22 to 43 percent lower risk of stroke across the studies and were 14 to 26 percent less likely to die of cardiovascular disease.

Fiber-rich grains were also tied to a lower body weight, but the effect was small. Two studies found people who ate the most of those grains lost about one more pound than other participants, the researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The benefits of whole grains in general - without bran and outside of cereal fiber - were less clear, they said.

The analysis was funded by grants from the Kellogg

Company as well as other food and nutrition companies.

Because none of the studies randomly assigned people to eat different amounts of whole grains, including cereal fiber, they can’t prove it was the fiber, itself, that prevented diabetes and heart disease.

But a large enough longterm study to prove cause and effect would be difficult, the study team wrote.

“It may simply be, people (who eat cereal fiber) are full longer, and therefore they don’t eat so much, and they’re leaner,” Fung, who wasn’t involved in the new study, told Reuters Health.

“Another possibility is people who eat a lot of cereal fiber, they don’t just eat a lot of cereal fiber. They’re also more healthy” in other ways, she said.

According to a small brainscan study, long-term marijuana use may indeed reduce people’s motivation levels.

The findings could explain why some marijuana users lack the drive to work or pursue their previous interests, said the researchers at Imperial College London.

The researchers used PET brain imaging to assess dopamine production in the brains of 19 regular marijuana users and 19 non-users. Dopamine is a chemical linked to motivation. The brain scans showed that the regular marijuana users tended to produce less dopamine.

The marijuana users in the study had their first experience with the drug between the ages of 12 and 18. Those who started using the drug at an earlier age tended to have lower dopamine levels, as did those who were heavier users.

The researchers said these findings -- published recently in the journal Biological Psychiatry -- may be the cause of

the differences in dopamine levels.

The lowest dopamine levels were seen in people who met diagnostic criteria for marijuana abuse or dependence. This suggests that measuring dopamine levels could provide a marker of a person’s level of addiction to marijuana, the study authors said. “[The findings] tie in with previous research on addiction, which has found that substance abusers -- people who are dependent on cocaine or amphetamine, for example -- have altered dopamine systems,” study leader Dr. Michael Bloomfield said in an Imperial College London news release.

Retiring soon? Don't forget tax implications If your retirement is not far off, you've probably already started to estimate what your living expenses will be after the regular paychecks stop. Most would-be retirees remember to include routine expenses like housing (rent or mortgage), medical bills and prescriptions, insurance premiums, transportation – even food and entertainment.

But don't forget to factor in taxes, which can have a substantial impact on your cost of living, depending on where you live and what your sources of retirement income will be.

Here are a few tax-related issues to consider when budgeting for retirement: Social Security. Most people can begin collecting Social Security benefits as early as age 62, albeit at significantly reduced amounts than waiting until their full retirement age (65 for those born before 1938 and gradually increasing to 67 for those born in 1960 or later).

Although many states don't tax Social Security ben-

efits, the federal government does. Depending on your "combined income" (adjusted gross income plus nontaxable interest earned plus half of your Social Security benefits), you could end up owing federal income tax on a portion of your benefit. It's complicated, but basically: Single people whose combined income is less than $25,000 aren't taxed on their Social Security benefit. For combined income between $25,000 and $34,000, up to 50 percent of your benefit may be taxed. Over $34,000,

up to 85 percent may be taxable.

For married couples filing jointly: benefits aren't taxable for combined income below $32,000; benefits for income between $32,000 and $44,000 are up to 50 percent taxable; over $44,000 – up to 85 percent taxable.

To learn more about taxation of Social Security benefits, read IRS Publication 915 at www.irs.gov.

Some people discover after beginning to collect a reduced Social Security benefit that they can't make ends

meet and must go back to work, which can backfire: If your annual wages exceed $15,120, you will lose $1 of Social Security benefits for every $2 you earn over that amount (investment income doesn't count.)

Rest assured, however: These benefit reductions are not completely lost: Your Social Security benefit will be increased upon reaching full retirement age to account for benefits withheld due to earlier earnings.

IRA and 401(k) withdrawals. After age 59 ½, you can start withdrawing balances from your IRA without paying the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty – although exceptions are made in cases including disability, qualified first-time homebuyer distributions and certain medical expenses. However, you will pay federal (and state, if applicable) income tax on IRA withdrawals – except for Roth IRAs held at least five years, whose contributions have already been taxed.

With 401(k) plans, you

can withdraw funds after age 55 without the 10 percent penalty if you are no longer employed by the company sponsoring the plan.

Other taxes. Some people move to another state after retirement thinking they'll lower their tax burden. For example, seven states do not tax personal income; however, another two tax only dividend and interest income.

And five states charge no sales tax. But because other taxes and cost-of-living expenses vary significantly by community, you should only consider such moves after doing thorough research.

The Retirement Living Information Center (www. retirementliving.com) features breakdowns of the various kinds of taxes seniors are likely to pay, state by state, including those on income, sales, fuel, property and inheritances.

Bottom line: Be sure to consult a financial advisor long before retirement to make sure you fully understand all the many tax and income implications.

Interest rates for federal student loans doubled July 1, 2013 Black students will feel the brunt of the increase because they borrow more money

By Frederick H. Lowe The interest rate on Federal Stafford loans, fixed-rate student loans for graduate and undergraduate students, doubled on Monday, July 1, 2013 after Congress left town on Friday for a week-long recess without reaching an agreement on legislation to stop it. The increase is expected to hurt African-American students who borrow more money than other groups to attend college.

The interest rates rose from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on new subsidized Stafford loans, but not on previously issued Stafford loans.

If the interest rate had not doubled, individual students would save an estimated $1,003 over the life of his or her loan, said President Barack Obama.

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the Congressional Black Caucus, said it is concerned about the financial future of the next generation of black leaders because of high-interest student loans.

“We know that AfricanAmerican and Latino students have heavier educational-loan debt than their white counterparts,” officials

of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation said in a statement. “According to the Center for American Progress, the black student loan debt ratio is 81 percent, for Latinos, it is 67 percent and for white students, it is 64 percent. Higher student loan rates would create an undue burden on students of color in particular.”

President Obama said in April that 1.5 million African-American graduate and undergraduate students have Stafford loans.

The College Board’s Advocacy & Policy Center reported that high debt levels were more prevalent among black bachelor’s degree recipients, compared to whites and Hispanics.

In a study titled, “Who

Borrowed Most? Bachelor’s Degree Recipients With High Level of Student Debt,” the College Board reported in 2007/2008 that 27 percent of black bachelor’s degree recipients borrowed $30,500 or more to pay for their education, compared with 16 percent of whites, 14 percent of Hispanics and 9 percent of Asians who did so.

The policy brief focused on 17 percent of 2007-2008 bachelor’s degree recipients who graduated with more than $30,500 in education debt.

Although Congress can return to Washington to fix the problem, there has been a lot of finger pointing. John Boehner, Speaker of U.S. House of Representatives, blamed Democrats for the

lack of action.

“Earlier this year, the president called for a market-based interest rate for student loans. House Republicans responded by passing one,” Boehner said. “Senate Democrats responded with scorn and inaction. The inability of the president and leaders of his party in Congress to come together will now mean higher borrowing costs for students already coping with skyrocketing tuition bills.”

President Obama’s proposal tied interest rate to the 10-year Treasury note plus an additional 0.93 percent for subsidized Stafford Loans.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did not issue a statement. On June 27, Reid asked for unanimous consent that the Senate take up and pass the “Keep Student Loans Affordable Act,” but Sen. Mitch McConnell, Senate’s Minority Leader, objected, according to Reid’s website.

Reid’s proposal would extend the 3.4 percent student loan rate for two years. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass) introduced a one-year plan that would set subsidized loan rates lower than what had been the current rate of 3.4 percent.

Heating Things Up:

Mack's Heating tips for the home owner

By James Mack

How to maintain an air conditioner

An air conditioner's filters, coils, and fins require regular maintenance for the unit to function effectively and efficiently throughout its years of service. Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning performance while energy use steadily increases.

Air conditioner filters The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean its filters.

Clogged, dirty filters block normal airflow and reduce a system's efficiency significantly. With normal airflow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and impair the coil's heat-absorbing capacity. Replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower your air conditioner's energy consumption by 5 percent to 15 percent.

For central air conditioners, filters are generally located somewhere along the return duct's length. Common filter locations are in walls, ceilings, furnaces, or in the air conditioner itself.

Room air conditioners have a filter mounted in the grill that faces into the room.

Some types of filters are reusable; others must be replaced. They are available in a variety of types and efficiencies. Clean or replace your air conditioning system's filter or filters every month or two during the cooling season. Filters may need more frequent attention if the air conditioner is in constant use, is subjected to dusty conditions, or you have fur-bearing pets in the house.

Air conditioner coils The air conditioner's evaporator coil and condenser coil collect dirt over their months and years of service.

A clean filter prevents the evaporator coil from soiling quickly. In time, however, the evaporator coil will still collect dirt. This dirt reduces airflow and insulates the coil, reducing its ability to absorb

heat. To avoid this problem, check your evaporator coil every year and clean it as necessary.

Outdoor condenser coils can also become very dirty if the outdoor environment is dusty or if there is foliage nearby. You can easily see the condenser coil and notice if dirt is collecting on its fins.

You should minimize dirt and debris near the condenser unit. Your dryer vents, falling leaves, and lawn mower are all potential sources of dirt and debris. Cleaning the area around the coil, removing any debris, and trimming foliage back at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) allow for adequate airflow around the condenser.

Coil fins The aluminum fins on evaporator and condenser coils are easily bent and can block airflow through the coil. Air conditioning wholesalers sell a tool called a "fin comb" that will comb these fins back into nearly original condition.

Condensate drains Occasionally pass a stiff wire through the unit's drain channels. Clogged drain channels prevent a unit from reducing humidity, and the resulting excess moisture may discolor walls or carpet.

Window seals for room air conditioners At the start of each cooling season, inspect the seal between the air conditioner and the window frame to ensure it makes contact with the unit's metal case. Moisture can damage this seal, allowing cool air to escape

from your house.

Preparing for the winter In the winter, either cover your room air conditioner or remove and store it. Covering the outdoor unit of a central air conditioner will protect the unit from winter weather and debris.

Hiring a professional When your air conditioner needs more than regular maintenance, hire a professional service technician. A well-trained technician will find and fix problems in your air conditioning system.

The technician should: • Check for correct amount of refrigerant • Test for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector • Capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system, instead of illegally releasing it to the atmosphere • Check for and seal duct leakage in central systems • Measure airflow through the evaporator coil • Verify the correct electric control sequence and make sure that the heating system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously • Inspect electric terminals, clean and tighten connections, and apply a non-conductive coating if necessary • Oil motors and check belts for tightness and wear • Check the accuracy of the thermostat.

If you need help with your own air conditioner, heater or washing machine please call Mack's Heating and Refrigeration at (414) 550-9696 or (414) 265-7003.

Preventing computer viruses

Computer viruses are malicious software programs designed to do harm to your computer and to other computers that you communicate with. They are designed to disrupt your computer's operat i o n /destroy your data or sometimes sit there and gather information about you and send this data back to the author which can be further used against you.

They can be disguised but are by no means limited to emails, email attachments, audio and video files, greeting cards, included in some pop-up messages, etc.

The key to this huge problem is to invest in a good antivirus program and set it to continuously update. Scan your system regularly for viruses. Do not leave your computer sys-

tems on a 24-7 cycle connected to the internet.

Someone is always watching you. Limit your trolling around the web leaving your ip address calling card as you go. Your ip++ address identifies your computer. Log on to your computer as a standard user not as the administrator.

Lastly use your common sense. If it looks suspicious, do not download it, do not open the email, do not install it on your system.

Set your operating system to update automatically. Operating system manufacturers (like Microsoft) are always trying to stay ahead of viruses and so they are always updating their systems to close holes in their operating system that viruses penetrate.

Homeschooling (Continued from pg. 12)

students might need reading labs, or occupational therapy, or speech therapy.

Sometimes it is possible for students with these types of needs to get assistance at a school because of the requirements that public schools provide for these needs.

Schools can sometimes provide this for much lower cost than private therapies because the services are provided for more than one student, or in group settings.

Homeschooling: Everyone on board. Homeschooling requires a lot of time, responsibility and flexibility. It also goes much more smoothly if the entire family agrees that homeschooling is the right answer for the family. If one parent is for homeschooling and the other is not, then every bump in the road becomes a point of contention. Every setback can become a reason to stop homeschooling.

Homeschooling is individual for each student. Sometimes more than one method must be tried before the right method is found. It becomes necessary for both parents, even the whole family, to understand that setbacks happen, and one setback does not constituted failure. If all members of the family are not in agreement then minor setbacks can be used to declare homeschooling unsuccessful.

Homeschooling might not be for every family, or every child in every family. However, if you have looked through the items mentioned and decided that they do not pose a problem for your family then homeschooling might be for you. There are many positives to homeschooling, but each family should go into homeschooling knowing that it is still not considered mainstream, that there will be obstacles to overcome along the journey, and that it is not for everyone. If you think you can overcome the obstacles listed, then go ahead and consider homeschooling. It just might work for your family.

Spiritual entrepreneur (Continued on pg. 5)

seekers acquire adequate training to secure stable employment.

Erdmann is a man who wears many hats. Among his involvement in Residential Life, where he is a resident assistant, he also anchors a campus-based YouTube newscast called the PSC Panther News. He also holds memberships in the PreAlumni Council, Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLAPBL), Black Male Initiative, and Aspiring Ministers and Missionaries Alliance.

himself this summer, Erdmann will begin an internship with Enterprise Car Rental, and enrich his studies by taking additional summer school courses.

A few of his hobbies include swimming, travelling, and visiting the elderly while his personal motto is "Exemplify what you profess to Possess." Philander Smith has been a place that Erdmann affectionately calls his "home away from home," while he admits that the familial atmosphere and embracing alumni are the main reasons he loves PSC. "This institution has a way of taking a diamond in the rough and polishing it to shine brighter than any jewel," said Erdmann.
