Reclaiming our ground By: Raina J. Johnson Special to The Milwaukee Times One hundred cities. Thousands of people. ‘No justice, no peace’ was the rallying cry heard ‘round the nation on Saturday, July 20, 2013. Following the acquittal of all charges filed against 29-yearold George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, Al Sharpton organized nationwide rallies through his National Action Network to call for the repealing of Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground” law.

The law has been in place since 2005, which allows the justifiable use of deadly force. Milwaukee was one of the 100 cities that participated-from New York, where Martin’s mother and father were present, all the way to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. Milwaukee’s rally was held at the Federal Courthouse located at 517 E. Wisconsin Avenue.

Even in the sweltering July heat, over 1,500 people participated in the rally. There were people from all walks (Continued on pg. 2)

“Real Jobs for Local People” was the rallying cry echoed in the sanctuary of Greater Mt. Sinai Church of God in Christ, 5384 N. 60th Street, Thursday, July 18, 2013, during a meeting convened by Milwaukee Inner City Congregation Allied for Hope (MICAH). The meeting was attended by inner city pastors, MICAH members and African American business owners. The purpose of the meeting was to explain the outcome of an audit of Phase One of the West Lawn Project in February 2013 and the yet-to-be completed audit called for

by MICAH of the project located on the city’s northwest side. In addition, members of the audience were asked to sign a letter addressed to President Barack Obama, which decried the lack of minority business and employment opportunities.

Governor Scott Walker signs bill to prevent food stamp trafficking Governor Scott Walker signed Assembly Bill 82 into law Monday, July 22, 2013, at the Wisconsin State Capitol.

Assembly Bill 82 places a criminal penalty on the trafficking of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, also known as FoodShare in Wisconsin.

“This bill gives the state additional options to ensure Wisconsin’s FoodShare benefits are being properly used by those in need and it aligns state law with federal regulations,” Governor Walker said. “I thank Representative Samantha Kerkman (R-Powers Lake) and Senator Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) for their work on this bill, which received strong bipartisan support.”

Under the law, trafficking SNAP benefits now constitutes a criminal offense and is subject to various criminal penalties. Penalties range from fines and administrative sanctions up to a Class G felony. The penalty is determined by the cash value of the benefits trafficked and whether the violation was a first or a repeat offense.

Assembly Bill 82 defines the following transactions as trafficking: • Buying, selling, stealing, or otherwise exchanging SNAP benefits for cash or other consideration.

• Exchanging firearms, am-

Gov. Scott Walker munition, explosives, or controlled substances for SNAP benefits.

• Using SNAP benefits to purchase food that has a container deposit for the sole purpose of returning the container for a cash refund.

• Reselling food purchased with SNAP benefits.

• Purchasing food that was previously purchased with SNAP benefits.

• Any other act defined as SNAP trafficking under federal law.

The Department of Health Services and district attorneys estimate no fiscal impact for the state because the law simply gives authorities additional avenues to prosecute. The bill passed the Assembly on a vote of 73-24 and the Senate on a vote of 28-5. Assembly Bill 82 is Act

The City of Milwaukee, like 99 other cities across the country, witnessed public demonstrations Saturday, July 20, 2013 to protest the verdict in the Trayvon Martin Case. The rally in Milwaukee witnessed a multi-racial contingent of protestors. Black and white rally participants were seen talking to one another and carrying signs together, protesting the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman who shot Trayvon Martin. One other very noticeable caveat was the number or blacks and caucasians who were engaged in long conversations.

Reclaiming our ground (Continued from pg. 1) of life, those directly affected by violence, and some not.

As a nation glued to their television sets awaiting the verdict from this polarizing trial that captivated everyone, many at the Milwaukee rally held signs that read, “Demand Justice” with images of other young AfricanAmerican men in the Milwaukee area whose lives were taken due to senseless violence. Images and names that will never be forgotten, Trayvon Martin, 17, Darius Simmons, 13, Derek Williams,

22, Corey Stingley, 16 and Bo Morrison, 20. The mother of Darius Simmons, 13, was present at the rally holding a sign that read, “Justice was served” after John Spooner, 76, was found guilty of murdering the teen outside of his home – just days before the Trayvon Martin rally downtown.

Those in attendance at the rally heard impassioned speeches from many area leaders, including Alderwoman Milele Coggs who said, “I believe that you can not give that are not righteous the power, you have the ability to define your own reality.” Alderwoman Coggs has stood her ground, standing for fairness and justice.

William H. Gray III, former president of United Negro College Fund, dies at 71 MATC to add barber William H. Gray III, a fordiploma, apprenticeship mer member of Congress who led the United Negro programs College Fund for more than a decade, died on July 1 in London. He was 71. Mr. Gray collapsed while attending the Wimbledon tennis tournament with one of his sons, The New York Times reported.

Mr. Gray came to the fund, which provides scholarships for students at more than three dozen private historically black colleges, in 1991.

He had previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing a Pennsylvania district for 12 years and ending up as majority whip. He was also a Baptist minister, serving as pastor of a well-known church in Philadelphia for more than 30 years, and returning there to preach on Sundays during his years in Congress.

One of Mr. Gray’s most notable fund-raising coups with the United Negro College Fund came in 1999, when the fund secured the contract to administer the

William H. Gray III $1-billion Gates Millennium Scholarship Program. The program was established by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to give minority students access to a college education.

Mr. Gray is credited with raising more than $2.3-billion during his tenure as president and chief executive officer of the fund. In an interview with The Chronicle just before he retired, in 2003, he reflected on the purpose of and challenges facing historically black colleges and universities.

Millwaukee Area Technical College will offer barber technical diploma and apprenticeship programs beginning in the fall 2013 semester. In the past, students in the diploma and apprenticeship programs were required to take combined barber/cosmetologist studies.

The split allows students interested in studying barbering only to enroll in a technical diploma program that requires 1,000 hours of training instead of the 1,800 hours required in the cosmetology technical diploma program. The program puts additional focus on men’s haircuts and shaving, while eliminating nail care studies.

Barber and cosmetology apprenticeships also have been separated. Barber apprentices work four days a week in a local barber shop/

salon as a paid employee gaining experience, and attend class one day a week at MATC’s Downtown Milwaukee Campus. The MATC classes are taught by master barbers with years of industry experience. The two-year apprenticeship program prepares students for the Wisconsin State Board Exam; individuals who successfully complete the exam earn a licensed barber credential.

For more information on the barber apprentice program, call Liza Larson at (414) 297-8054 or write larson1@matc.edu.

The rally is just one of many calls for justice around the country, as a community, there needs to be more, reclaiming our ground for the young lives that have been lost due to senseless acts of violence.

By Frank James IV

The impotent one Everyone in the world is familiar with the verdict from the George Zimmerman trial. The Trayvon Martin debacle is over and done with. The question that needs to be asked is how to prevent these types of incidents from happening again.

In order to get the answer to the previous question another needs to be addressed.

How did the circumstances in the USA get to this point?

Once again the African American community is outraged. Another African American male has been killed and his supposed killer freed. Once again prayer vigils and rallies were held before and after the verdict.

Once again after the not guilty verdict was delivered African Americans were outraged. Once again African American protests were held.

Do you see a pattern?

The easy answer to all of the problems African Americans have is a lack of self-

respect. African Americans don’t receive respect in the world because they have no respect for themselves. In the world’s opinion the African American has no pride and is often seen as a pathetic beggar to those who despise them. But let’s not digress.

The question to be answered is how did circumstances in the USA involving African American males get to this point?

It would be easy to blame slavery and the system of oppression that operates in the USA. But that isn’t the answer because people can only be oppressed if they allow it. Could it be the African American males' fault?

Can the African American male be the cause of his impotent status and subsequent license to be killed by anyone? Is it possible that the African American male has a subconscious urge to eradicate himself ? The answer to the previous questions may

shock you.

The African American male is powerless in the USA. Just look at the comments made by President Barack Obama. Obama is supposed to be the most powerful man in the country and all he could do was extend a plea for racial tolerance. If the best your strongest male can do is plead then you are in trouble. If the President is pleading what actions can be expected from the everyday working African American male? Exactly.

Why doesn’t society respect African American males?

One reason is the appearance the African American male has. It has been said over and over the African American male dresses as if he is auditioning for a clown act. The overlarge clothes and gigantic gym shoes worn by many African American males make them look foolish. These clothes are not only worn by the African

CHILD WATCH " Until the killing of Black men, Black mothers’ sons, is as important as the killing of White mothers’ sons, we who believe in freedom cannot rest." - Ella Baker, Leading Mentor of Black Youth, including the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), 1964 "Trayvon Martin will forever remain in the annals of history next to Medgar Evers and Emmett Till as symbols for the fight for equal justice for all." - Benjamin Crump, lawyer for Trayvon Martin’s parents, 2013 The reaction to the not guilty verdict from George Zimmerman’s jury was swift and strong. Young people poured onto the streets in peaceful protests in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C. By 3 a.m. more than 100,000 people signed an online petition urging the Justice Department to pursue civil rights violation charges against George Zimmerman.

The outrage over the killing of an unarmed Black teenager who was doing nothing wrong must continue until some semblance of justice is achieved. People who want to keep faith in American justice feel uncomfortable, upset and disheartened. Where is the justice if walking while Black is enough to get you “stopped

American youth but by older African American males in their 40’s and 50’s.

The complete opposite is the African American male who tries to dress like a yuppie. This male often wears his clothes too tight and comes off as effeminate. The educated African American male often adopts this look because he doesn’t want to be associated with the thug look. Image is everything, so looking at these two examples, what conclusion have you come to about African American males?

The childish mindset that many African American males have is a major factor.

The African American males mind is dominated by sports.

Many African American male’s turn to sport heroes for their ideals and concepts.

This is almost laughable because many African American sports idols are borderline illiterate. What race of people looks to high school

graduates and college dropouts for guidance?

The African American male has the potential to be a force in the world. The type of force the African American male becomes is up to him. The outcome of the African American male’s future does not depend on a grand movement by millions, far from it. The outcome rests with each individual African American male. The impotence or virility is up to the individual and only then will the whole change.

Justice denied

and frisked” in New York City and fatally shot in Florida with its senseless violent “Stand Your Ground” law that allows people to defend themselves with deadly force anytime and anywhere they imagine they are or say they feel threatened even if they are the stalker?

Many decades of struggle and progress to eliminate racial profiling, arbitrary arrests, unfair sentencing, imprisonment and criminalization of Black males at younger and younger ages are being reversed by determined special interests like the gun lobby putting profits before the most basic American civil rights. The National Rifle Association and their allies’, including the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), determined efforts to support and pass "Stand Your Ground" and other destructive laws to protect guns rather than children perpetuates the epidemic of gun violence, especially for Black male teenagers like Trayvon Martin.

Black children and teens were 17 times more likely to die from a gun homicide than White children and teens in 2010. Since 1963, 59,265 Black children and teens have been killed by guns -- more than 17 times the recorded

If Trayvon Martin’s parents had been silent and other voices had not joined with them, George Zimmerman never would have been arTrayvon Martin rested and never would have lynchings of Black people of been brought to trial.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper Louvenia Johnson Luther Golden Nathan Conyers (1981-2008) (1981-2005) (1981- ) Lynda J. Jackson-Conyers, Publisher Ruthe Eleanor Latta, Editorial Page Editor

Race, the law and the Zimmerman verdict; What dose it all mean?

With the national dialogue on the George Zimmerman verdict amplified recently with comments by President Obama about the killing of Trayvon Martin, Loyola Law School, Los Angeles professors are available to comment on the case’s implications for race and justice in America, as well as the possibility of a civil lawsuit against George Zimmerman.

Associate Professor Priscilla Ocen discusses the intersection of race in the law as it relates to the Zimmerman case. She teaches Critical Race Theory and Criminal Law. In a short Q&A, she writes: What is the takeaway from the trial and verdict in terms of the interplay between race and criminal justice in America today?

The trial reinforces the notion that race and racial inequalities pervade our criminal justice system at every level of administration from surveillance on the street, to arrests, to prosecutions, to sentencing. This is particularly true in the context of “stand-your-ground” defenses, where whites are more likely to prevail when such defenses are used and when the victim is non-white.

The trial and the outcome also suggest that implicit racial biases continue to impact decision-making, from George Zimmerman’s decision to follow Travyon Martin after finding him as “suspicious” to the jury’s consideration of what constitutes “reasonable fear” as part of its consideration of the larger question of selfdefense.

How do you respond to those who say that justice was not done in the Zimmerman case?

Certainly, justice was not done. A 17-year-old child was killed, and no one was held accountable for that fact.

Moreover, the trial could not bring him back and it could not soothe the depth of the loss experienced by Trayvon Martin’s family.

Many say the jury got it wrong. Legally speaking, what is your assessment of that opinion?

I believe that there was sufficient evidence for the jury to have found Zimmerman guilty of the lesser and included offense of manslaughter. Reaching that conclusion, however, was made difficult by Florida’s relatively lenient self-defense law,

which includes the now-notorious “stand-your-ground” provision. Moreover, the prosecution seemed to have difficulty articulating a clear theory of the sequence of events that ultimately death of Trayvon Martin. Given the self-defense law and the weaknesses in the prosecution’s summations to the jury, the jury could have fairly concluded that reasonable doubt existed and that George Zimmerman was therefore not guilty of any criminal offense.

Professor John Nockleby discuss the potential civil suit that Trayvon Martin’s family could bring against George Zimmerman. A widely renowned expert on civil suits and access-to-justice issues, he was a civil rights attorney before becoming a law professor. Summarizing the potential cause of action, Nockleby writes: Trayvon Martin's family could potentially bring a civil suit for wrongful death.

Such a lawsuit would not be barred by the jury's decision in the criminal case that Zimmerman was "not guilty" of manslaughter. A civil case would have a number of advantages over the criminal case. For example, as long as he's not facing criminal charges, Zimmerman could be compelled to testify in the civil case about what happened the night he shot Trayvon, and about what was going on in his mind.

Also, the family would be able to prove their case by a "preponderance" of the evidence, rather than the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt" which must be shown in a criminal case.

The family would still have significant hurdles to overcome in order to win a civil case. But as they continue to feel that justice has not been served, they may file a civil suit in order to hold Zimmerman to account for Trayvon's death.

Rebuilding our Community

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

Crossing over Just when you think that things are going smooth and headed in the right direction, something happens out of the blue that leaves you in shock and disbelief. It challenges your general understanding and trust in people as the way things are supposed to go. When things are go hay-wire, some people cite that it’s an unfortunate incident, we don’t know the full story or let’s not rush to judgment too soon.

Then again, others would say that was out of character for them, they must be under a lot of duress, an unusual set of circumstances or that’s not the person I know. And yet others would point out it does not make any sense whatsoever, for they had it all; endowments, big con-

tract, a mansion in a gated community and on the “A” list of the who’s who. Then just as fast as they rose from nowhere, rages to riches, a virtual unknown…“Puff it’s all gone, ” all because they did something or said something while others were listening and looking. Soon after that, the situation creates a firestorm and things quickly go from “good to bad” in a matter of days. Before long, what was once a stellar career has now turned into a new story line…“How I lost It All” I know that people at times do misspeak, hang out with the wrong people and do some wired things; no one is perfect and of course… sometimes…sometimes they do say what truly is in their

heart and soul. One’s actions can have a tremendous impact upon others, regardless of wealth or position.

No one is above reproach, scrutiny, invincible, an island by themselves... “For we all make mistakes.”

In the movie ‘Midnight Cowboy’ Enrico “Ratso” Rizzo (Dustin Hofman) is trying to walk across a busy street in New York City. All of sudden a taxi cab comes into the cross walk and is about to hit him. He quickly turns and begins pounding on the hood of the cab, saying “I’m walkin’ here! ... I’m walkin’ here! And so it is in life…everyone has an opportunity to choose what path to take.

Why this is not really about Trayvon Martin at all

By Chloe Riley Neighborhood reporter, DNAinfo.com In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson is doomed before he ever takes the stand. A black man accused of raping a white woman during Depression Era Alabama, we know his fate and so, even though race is the constant backdrop behind the action -- it's not the heart of the story.

It's about Mayella Ewell.

Because the only thing worse than being a black man in the 1920s is being a poor white woman in the 1920s.

It's Mayella's last stand and we watch her struggle to tell the truth and transcend her place, but in the end, she lies to protect the real rapist, her father.

Trayvon Martin's friend Rachel Jeantel is the modern day Mayella. In a case devoid of witnesses, Jeantel, who spoke to Martin over the phone as he died, is arguably the closest to understanding what happened that night.

As a woman, there's almost nothing more excruciating than listening and watching as another woman's credibility is torn apart. News sites from CNN to Fox only reinforced what jurors already saw: a barely coherent black 19-year-old who at times directly challenged the defense attorney and who said she could not read a statement because it was written in cursive.

Rachel Jeantel

And, like Mayella, Jeantel made the larger mistake of lying. She lied about her reason for not being at Martin's funeral. She lied about her age so she wouldn't have to testify at the trial. Her pointed insecurity as a human being ultimately discounted her testimony. A testimony on which the fate of two men's lives happened to hang.

The Counseling Corner

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

The pain of unrequited love (conclusion)

This month we have given voice to the pain of 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. Love songs and love stories have been written regarding rejection, heartache and secret love.

Many of you reading this series have memories of an unrequited love. Perhaps this series has you thinking of your first crush or someone who had a crush on you but you had no interest in them.

Yes, that was an unrequited love.

While our relationship with God is not romantic, did you know God has a love for us that is stronger than romantic love? Yet, God’s love often goes unrequited. There are many instances in the Bible in which God showed His love and it was not reciprocated. Such was the case with the nation of Israel.

In the Old Testament it recounts how the people of

God were indifferent toward God time and time again in their relationship with God - blatantly showing their unfaithfulness to Him. In Genesis, Adam and Eve betrayed their trust in God by committing the first sin with dire consequences for the world and humankind. Instead of showing their love, trust and loyalty to God they listened to the voice of temptation and were seduced away from this. They placed their affections on something else other than their Creator.

In Exodus when the Hebrews went in to possess the Promised Land, a man named Achan coveted some of the riches that had been dedicated to the Lord for destruction, and he hid them under his tent. The result was that Israel became subject to destruction and only recovered when the sin of Achan was discovered and Achan was dealt with ruthlessly. He placed his affection on riches

rather than on obedience to the word of God. In the time of the Judges when the people of Israel had settled into the Promised Land, they defiantly broke God’s command and they worshiped idols. The result was they were pillaged by their enemies because they chose to break faith with God and go it alone. Once again their affections were placed elsewhere. The book ends with war.

These Scriptures and others read like an unhappy or stale marriage where one partner wants to rekindle the flame, and the other is not interested. God tried many

times to rekindle the flame and eventually had to expose Israel’s complacent attitudes and idolatry. God’s people had set their heart affection on other things, especially idols. God was hurt by the spiritual adultery, betrayal and consequences for God’s people ensued. The root cause for such spiritual adultery was idolatry – that is the setting of one’s affections on something other than God. God wants us to reciprocate the love He has for us. The Scripture asks that we respond to His first and greatest commandment and that is to: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”

(Matthew 22:37). After all God has done for you, don’t allow God’s love to go unrequited.

Beloved, the bottom line is, when it comes to matters of the heart it can be an interesting and, at times, a difficult journey. Do not allow

a bad experience to turn you into a bitter soul. Perhaps if true love was so easy to find, it wouldn't be as appreciated as it is. Take your experience with unrequited love as an opportunity to recognize the kind of love you deserve and desire. Unrequited love may feel torturous, but it also can be a blessing in disguise.

Think about it: you could be missing out on the kind of relationship you deserve if you are with someone who is only sort of interested in you, instead of someone who sees you as God see you – as a treasured vessel deserving of love and respect!

Pictured are keynote speaker, Rev. Eliot Cuff; Dean of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., President James Ivy; WGBSC Dean Alexis McKinnie; and Cheronne Burks, assistant to Dean McKinnie.

The Wisconsin General Baptist State Congress of Christian Education week of July 8-12, 2013 was one to be remembered. Thanks to Congress President, Rev. James Ivy, Dean Alexis McKinnie, State Director, Dr. Hymethia Thompson, and the entire Congress Staff for putting together such an awesome week of teaching, training, worshiping and praising.

The Congress of Christian Education is an auxiliary and the educational arm of the Wisconsin General Baptist State

Convention, Inc., and is responsible for teaching and training classes covering every aspect of Christian Education.

Thanks to President Rev. James Ivy for his vision to equip the saints for service in our local churches. As he states, “it is the responsibility and goal of our Congress to equip Christian education leaders and Congress delegates with the necessary Biblical truth, Current Issues, information and teaching techniques to fulfill their respective roles in their local churches and daily lives.”

"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure."

Education

Community Column Our History

What can you do with a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee degree? Lots.

UWM alumni have found their niches in numerous careers, crediting what they learned at the university with helping them find success.

A few examples: Roberto “Bob” Gutierrez, who earned his degree in civil engineering from UWM, is Southeast Freeways chief design engineer for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. In that job, he works with budgets in the billions, and his work impacts more than 350,000 commuters.

“I never dreamed I would be responsible for the design and construction of major state highways back when I was studying at UW-Milwaukee,” he says. The lessons he learned about being innovative and creative to achieve results still help him every day in his job.

Derrick Harriell, who earned his bachelor’s degree and doctorate in English from UWM, is now a professor of English and Afro American Studies at the Uni-

Derrick Harriell versity of Mississippi. He’s also become well-known for his poetry, with one critically acclaimed book, “Cotton,” published and another under contract.

Harriell grew up on the North Side of Milwaukee and graduated from South Milwaukee High School as

president of his class. Some of his own experiences are reflected in his poems.

“Growing up on the North Side was a polar sort of experience. Some of those poems capture the highs of neighborhood basketball games, barbeques, friends and family – and the lows of violence

in the city, losing childhood friends.”

He’s loved poetry since second grade, he says, and completed his doctorate in UWM’s poetry program. He had already published “Cotton” when it came time to write his thesis and could have used that as his dissertation work. But his adviser, Maurice Kilwein-Guevara, encouraged him to get back to work on other projects.

“And I’m a better writer and scholar because of it.”

Luz Ortiz-Carby earned her degree in communication from UWM and is now director of Patient and Family Service at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare. In that role she works with hospitals and clinics to implement strategies to support improvements in patient satisfaction.

Prior to moving into her new job, she served as the organization’s director of Language Access Services for 10 years.

Like many UWM students, she was the first in her family to graduate from college.

“I could feel my dad’s pride,” she says, as she walked across the stage at her graduation. Although she didn’t start college right after high school, she didn’t consider being an older student a drawback at UWM. “I remember how much the university experience opened my eyes and taught me a lot about myself,” she says.

“UW-Milwaukee not only taught me how to be a true professional, but a successful Latina as well.”

She loves her work, she says, and adds that her studies at UWM gave her many of the skills she uses today.

Her advice to students considering college: “Let no obstacle stop you from going to college; you can do it…seek the help you need to go to UW-Milwaukee. It’s a great campus.”

For more about Derrick Harriell and his experiences at UWM, check out the latest issue of the UWM Alumni magazine, available online at http://www5.uwm. edu/news/uwm-alumni/.

Enrollment and playground fun nights began Monday School tours — and free family fun — offered at five northwest-side MPS schools

Families still looking for the right school for their children for the coming school year will have a chance to tour five northwest-side MPS schools at enrollment and playground fun nights beginning Monday, July 22.

Prospective families will have the chance to meet staff, see the facilities and enjoy fun playground games, popcorn and free food as Milwaukee Public Schools prepares for the 2013-14 school year.

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

13

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Healthy blood pressure Heart disease, cardiovascular disease ( CVD ), is the leading cause of death for all Americans age 35 and older.

This means men and women among all racial and ethnic groups. According the Centers for Disease Control, over 600,000 people died of heart disease in 2008, 25 percent of all deaths. In other words, one in four Americans died of heart disease in 2008.

Among those with heart disease, 32 percent are known to have high blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension. HBP damages the blood vessels, weakening them and robbing them of their inherent flexibility. This can result in heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. Called "the silent killer" because symptoms are so subtle, even moderately elevated blood pressure is associated with a shortened life expectancy.

High blood pressure is a major health problem in the U.S. The CDC estimates that 1 in 3 U.S. adults - about 68 million - has high blood pres-

sure. In 2008, HBP was listed as a primary or contributing cause of death for more than 347,000 Americans. AfricanAmericans are especially susceptible, and are one of the most likely ethnic groups in the world to receive the diagnosis. HBP has also been diagnosed in two-thirds of Americans over 65 and in a growing number of young adults and children.

The LowDown On High Blood Pressure. Blood pressure is the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries, similar to the pushing of water against the sides ofi a garden hose. Exact pressure is determined by two factors: the strength of the heartbeat and the resistance of the arteries and capillaries. Interestingly, the tiny arteries leading into the capillary network (arterioles) are the primary regulators of blood pressure. Lined with muscle tissue, they contract or relax in rhythm with the heartbeat.

There are two main categories of hypertension: essen-

tial and secondary. Secondary hypertension is a symptom of an underlying disease, and normalizes when health is restored. Over 85 percent of patients are diagnosed with "essential" hypertension, or ordinary high blood pressure, the type we discuss here.

A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers. For example, a healthy blood pressure reading is 115/75, which reads "one fifteen over seventy-five". The first number (115) is called systolic pressure and the second (75), diastolic. Systolic is the high point ofpressure as the heart beats. The low point occurs in between beats and is called diastolic pressure.

Diastolic pressure is the more important measure.

When high, it reveals that the arteries are under excessive pressure even though the heart is relaxed. We suggest a healthy diastolic of 7 5. In well-conditioned athletes, it's not unusual to find diastolics in the low 60s.

The currently recommended blood pressure measure is 120/80. It is based on normal measures. Normal does not mean healthy. In 2006, researchers found that levels from 120-129 over 8084 were associated with an 81 percent higher risk of heart disease compared to levels of less than 120/80.

(Kshirsagar 2006) Maintaining the recommended pressure of 115/75 can reduce risk of death from heart disease by 30 percent and death from stroke by 40 percent. 1 Sometimes a false high reading occurs at the doctor's office. This fluke is called "white coat hypertension".

Three elevated readings have to occur with systolics above 140 and diastolics

Experts urge caution as heat, humidity blanket much of U.S.

Health Tips:

Moist air means 90-degree weather will feel much more oppressive High humidity and temperatures in the 90s could test the endurance of millions of Americans in the eastern and central parts of the country for days to come, experts warn.

The U.S. National Weather Service said thermometers will stay in the 90s for the next few days in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. However, the service’s heat indices -- which factor in humidity to calculate how hot the weather feels -- will push past 100 degrees, CNN reported.

The sticky heat is expected to extend westward as the week proceeds, covering much of the central and eastern United States.

Health experts said there are key steps everyone can take to minimize their risk from extreme heat.

One essential step: Check up on elderly or ill relatives living on their own.

“Due to various reasons, the elderly are prone to suffer from the extreme heat,” said Dr. Salvatore Pardo, associate chairman of the emergency department at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y. “It is vital for loved ones and friendly neighbors to enter the home and make sure they have functioning

air conditioning or access to a cool environment -- for example, a cooling center, senior center, public shopping mall -- during extreme heat events,” he said. “This should be done at the beginning, during and after the extreme heat event.”

Dr. Michael Ammazzalorso, chief medical officer at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y., offered up other potentially lifesaving tips.

Keeping the shades drawn in the daytime can keep homes cooler, he said, and “if you live in a split-level home, stay downstairs. Heat rises, so upstairs will always be hotter than your living room. Open windows upstairs if you have no air conditioning to keep the room cool, and have a fan blowing.”

Alcoholic beverages de-

hydrate, so stick to water or beverages without alcohol, sugar or caffeine, Ammazzalorso said. Wear light, lightcolored and loose clothing to stay cooler.

“Let the children play outside in the early morning or early evening when the air quality is at a healthier level and the temperatures are cooler,” he added. “Head to a local swimming pool or beach to cool off, but never swim alone and be sure to observe all posted swimming advisories.”

According to Ammazzalorso, signs of heat exhaustion include skin that is cool, moist and pale but may look flushed at times. Dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, fatigue and headaches are also potential signs of heat exhaustion.

Signs of an even more serious condition known as heat

above 90 before a formal diagnosis is made.

If you are under fifty and have healthy blood pressure, measure it again within two years. Over 50, check your numbers annually. Do likewise if the following factors exist: family history, obesity, diabetes, elevated blood cholesterol, and/or African ancestry.

Remember, there is no persistent difference in the prevalence of diastolic hypertension between men and women.

Is low blood pressure anything to worry about? Only a very small number of people need to take medication for low blood pressure. Generally, it is only dangerous when diabetes is a complication. Lightheadedness which occurs after sitting or lying down for a while is a temporary form of low pressure.

stroke include red, hot and dry skin, high body temperatures (105 degrees or above), a rapid and weak pulse, rapid and shallow breathing and changes in consciousness. In these cases, 911 should be dialed immediately, Ammazzalorso said.

Extra precautions also need to be taken to keep your pets safe in the heat.

The Humane Society of the United States recommends the following: • Never leave your pets in a parked car, not even for a minute and not even if the car is running and the air conditioning is working. If you see an animal in distress in a parked car, call the nearest animal shelter or police.

• Watch the humidity, because dogs have to pant to cool down, which they can’t do in high humidity.

• Limit exercise on hot days, focusing on early morning and evening hours. Asphalt also gets very hot and can burn your pet’s paws, so walk your dog on the grass when you can.

• Give your pets shade and water if they are outside.

In heat waves, add ice to your pet’s water when possible. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don’t obstruct air flow.

Prevent salmonella from eggs Salmonella is among the most common causes of foodborne illness in the United States, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. And raw or undercooked eggs are among the most common sources of salmonella.

The CDC offers this advice for the safe handling of eggs: • Refrigerate eggs and other perishable foods at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.

• Only purchase eggs from sellers who refrigerate them.

• Toss out any eggs that are cracked or dirty.

• Don’t allow eggs to sit at room temperature for longer than two hours.

• Skip restaurant dishes made with eggs that are raw or barely cooked.

• Ask the restaurant if their eggs are pasteurized.

Pasteurization kills salmonella and other food borne germs.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

How to replace important documents If your wallet has ever been lost or stolen, you know what a pain it is to replace your driver's license. That goes double when other vital documents like your, passport, birth certificate or car registration are misplaced or destroyed in a natural disaster. Without the proper ID, you can't start a new job, buy a house, apply for insurance or a host of other common transactions.

Here's a guide on how to get copies or replacements for many common documents: Birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates.

These records come from the states where the events occurred. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a handy directory that provides links to the appropriate agencies in all U.S. states and territories, including costs and mailing instructions (www.cdc.gov/nchs/ w2w.htm).

Passport. Immediately report lost or stolen passports

to the U.S. State Department by calling 877-487-2778. If it happens overseas, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Visit http://travel.state.gov/passport/lost/ lost_848.html for further instructions.

Driver's license, car registration. To learn how to replace your driver's license, vehicle registration or car title (which you'll need to transfer ownership), or to access other motor vehicle services, contact the Department of Motor Vehicles. Go to www. usa.gov/Topics/Motor-Vehicles.shtml for links to each state's DMV. Social Security card.

These days, you may not actually need to replace a misplaced Social Security card. If you know your Social Security number, you generally can still collect Social Security benefits, get a job and apply for government benefits and services.

However, if you do want to replace the card, you'll need to gather documents proving

your identity and citizenship and complete an application (www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5. pdf); then mail or take the paperwork to your local Social Security office.

Military service records.

Veterans often need copies of their military service records to apply for government programs, including health care, retirement or education benefits. You can apply to the National Archives (www.archives.gov/veterans)

for a copy of your records (or an immediate family member's if deceased). The site also has information on replacing lost military medals and awards.

Green card. If your U.S. Permanent Resident (Green) Card is lost, stolen or damaged, or if your name or other important information has legally changed since it was issued, you may request a new card from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) by filing Form I-90 (available at http://www.uscis.gov). If you're outside the U.S. and lose your green card, contact the nearest U.S. consulate or USCIS office before applying online for a new card.

Medicare card. To replace a lost, stolen or damaged Medicare card, follow the procedures at https:// secure.ssa.g ov/apps6z/ IMRC/main.html. To replace a Medicaid card, contact Medicaid (www.medicaid.gov).

Tax returns. If you need

exact copies of previously filed and processed tax returns (including attachments), you may order them from the IRS by submitting IRS Form 4506 (at www.irs. gov). There is a $57 fee for each year's return you request. Before ordering an exact copy, however, ask whether a "tax return transcript" or "tax account transcript" will suffice. These abbreviated printouts of returns are often acceptable substitutes for student loan and mortgage lenders and are free. To order transcripts, go to www.irs.gov/Individuals/Order-a-Transcript.

School transcripts. If you need to order high school or college transcripts, it's best to contact the school's registrar or student services office directly for instructions. (Some websites that claim they can expedite the process have proven unreliable.)

For even more suggestions, see "Replace Your Vital Documents" at www.USA.gov.

Tech Talk With Stanley Dyett

The importance of backing up your computer files

You will find that people will rarely backup their computer files. This bad behavior always leads to catastrophe.

Computers fail, hardware fails, software gets corrupted by spyware, malware or from someone with the intent to harm you or your company.

Why backup?

Hardware failure. Computers are man made and they fail just like everything else in life. Back up your data on some external device so you can recover and continue. It is also important that you backup your software that you cannot afford to replace or keep a copy of the software license in a secure location.

Operating system or software failure. This happens too and is sometimes due to corruption coming from other sources, i.e., viruses that are somehow interfering with program flow of the operating system or the software. Again, the only option to relieve the stress is to have a backup of your system.

Disasters. Fire, floods, electrical surges, and even willful damage can result in the loss of the hardware or data. Crying and cussing will not help here. Keep a backup copy of your stuff off site or on a flash drive, C.D. or other storage device in a secure place and make it a habit of updating this backup.

Viruses. Yes, we have looked at this worm before.

No futher explanation of what these things can do to your data or hardware.

Got the message everyone?

Backup devices are cheap.

Get a flash drive with at least 64 gigs, dvd’s or an external drive. Backup your stuff. The operating systems all have a file utility that allows you to do this and to do so on an automatic schedule. Take that device to a safe place or if it is small enough you may want to keep it with you.

Makes you feel a little more relaxed, right? Then do it. There are a lot of backup software on the market today also. Get one and use it.

Heating Things Up:

By James Mack owner Mack's Heating & Refrigeration

Mack's Heating tips for the home owner

Should you have the air ducts in your home cleaned?

As awareness of the importance of indoor air quality grows, more people are looking at duct cleaning as one way to solve indoor air quality problems. If not properly installed, maintained, and operated, the components of your heating and cooling system may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen, or other debris. If moisture is present, the potential for microbiological growth (i.e. mold) is increased and spores from such growth may be released into the home’s living space.

Some of these contaminant may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them.

The key to preventing air duct pollution problems is being diligent about HVAC system maintenance.

Along with duct cleaning you should also have your air ducts checked periodically for leaks. Leaking ducts cause up to 27 percent of the losses of heating and cooling, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. This loss causes you to enjoy less of the heating and cooling available from your system and also raises your monthly utility bills. After the short pay back period, you continue to gain more comfort and lower bills each month.

What exactly is air duct cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is the physical cleaning of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system components including ducts, air terminals (supply and return), heat exchangers (heating and cooling coils), condensate drains and pans, fan motors and housings, system

filters, and air handling unit housing. Methods of duct cleaning may vary, although typically, a service provider will use specialized tools to dislodge dirt and other debris in ducts, then vacuum them out with a high-powered vacuum cleaner.

When having your air ducts cleaned make sure that your service provider cleans the whole air handling system not just the ducts. Failure to clean a component of a contaminated system can result in re-contamination of the entire system, thus negating any potential benefits.

Health and environmental effects of poor air quality • Asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, and allergic respiratory disease

• Excessive mold, bacteria, dust, dirt, and smoke • Increased utility bills (decreased air flow) • Unpleasant fumes and odors • Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning • Kills germs and bacteria • Helps remove dust in your home • Improve your systems efficiency • Makes your home or business smell clean and fresh • Recommended by doctors and allergists You can contact a Mack's Heating and Refrigeration to check for leaks and/or to provide duct cleaning.

Robin Roberts wins Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs Robin Roberts was awarded with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at the ESPYs. Roberts, a broadcast journalist with ESPN and ABC, has overcome battles with both breast cancer and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disease that required a bone marrow transplant.

Roberts was a star athlete growing up before launching a career in broadcast journalism. In 1990, she joined the staff of ESPN as a Sportscenter anchor and re-

porter, a role she thrived in for the next fifteen years.

Roberts joined the ABC Good Morning America staff as a reporter and later became a host for the show.

One of her most famous television moments came during her coverage of Hurricane Katrina, when a visibly emotional Roberts spoke of her own family who were affected by the storm.

Roberts was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007.

After surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, Roberts returned back to Good Morning America, becoming a

Robin Roberts

powerful voice in the fight against the disease.

In 2012, however, Roberts was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disease that came as a side effect from her cancer treatment. She would need a bone marrow transplant to survive. Be the Match Registry, which is a national registry of bone marrow donors, saw a 1,800 percent increase in donors the day after Roberts made her illness public on television.

Days after her own mother's passing, Roberts underwent the bone marrow trans-

plant surgery, which would prove to be successful. Six months later, Roberts had recovered from the surgery, and returned with an emotional appearance on Good Morning America.

LeBron James presented the award to Roberts, who received a standing ovation.

The Arthur Ashe Courage Award is for recipients who "reflect the spirit of Arthur Ashe, possessing strength in the face of adversity, courage in the face of peril and the willingness to stand up for their beliefs no matter what the cost."

'Scandal' star Kerry Washington marries NFL player Looks like Kerry Washington has been taking cues from Olivia Pope.

The "Scandal" star up and married NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha last month in a super-secret ceremony witnessed only by their nearest and dearest, E! News exclusively confirmed Wednesday, July 17, 2013.

Since the happy couple obviously wanted to keep a lid on things (see, celebs can do that when they really put their minds to it), details are scarce. But here's what we do know...

"One of the most profound things for me about ("Scandal") is the number of white women of all ages who come up to me and say, ‘I want to be Olivia Pope,'" Vanity Fair's August cover girl says in the upcoming issue of the magazine. "It's especially profound in a place like South Africa. It's called 'The Fixer' over there, and it just started its second season.

The fact that white women can see this woman of color as an aspirational character is revolutionary ... I don't think white women would feel that way about Olivia if her identity as a woman, period, wasn't first in their mind."

Tina Turner throws star-studded wedding celebration Days after Tina Turner tied the knot with longtime beau Erwin Bach, the couple finally held the celebration – a lavish, star-studded party Sunday, July 21, 2013 at their lakeside estate in Switzerland.

Oprah Winfrey, Giorgio Armani, David Bowie, Eros Rmazzotti, Gale King and Sade were among the 120 guests, according to the Today show and other news sites.

The couple's estate was reportedly decorated with 70,000 red and yellow roses from Holland. Men wore

black tie to the event, and women were asked to wear white and beige.

Attendees participated in a traditional Buddhist water blessing ritual. Turner has been practicing the faith since the '70s.

Turner, 73, and Bach, 57, have been together for 27 years and have lived in Switzerland for more than 15.

This is Bach's first marriage and Turner's second.

She divorced Ike Turner in 1976, and their tumultuous relationship was memorably portrayed in the 1993 biopic, What's Love Got to Do with It. ART RACE IDENTITY

Not really about Trayvon Martin at all (Continued from pg 4)

Trayvon Martin is a victim. But Rachel Jeantel is a victim as well. An almost illiterate 19-year-old who can barely verbalize what it is she witnessed, Jeantel must have known how easily her credibility would be publicly shattered. Her bravery in even taking the stand is stunning.

After Mayella Ewell is cross-examined by Atticus -a white man in good standing -- Scout Finch has this to say: "I guess if she hadn't been so poor and ignorant, Judge Taylor would

have put her under the jail for the contempt she had shown everybody in the courtroom. Somehow, Atticus had hit her hard in a way that was not clear to me, but it gave him no pleasure to do so. He sat with his head down and I never saw anybody glare at anyone with the hatred Mayella showed when she left the stand and walked

by Atticus's table."

So far, I've seen a great deal of hate directed toward George Zimmerman. "How could America allow such a killing to go unpunished?" the hatred seems to ask.

It's the same America that allows for a woman to get through high school without being able to read cursive.

But on that issue, the flames of anger are strangely unflared.
