Milwaukee Common Council President Willie Hines (center) spoke at a press conference called by Pastors United on Friday, July 26, 2013 at Memorial Missionary Baptist Church.

Pastors United for Community Advocacy held a press conference Friday, July 26, 2013 at Mercy Memorial Missionary Baptist Church.

The press conference was held to bring together ministry leaders in Milwaukee and other community advocates, businesses and elected officials to concentrate on the bridges that connect us, versus what divides us.

Pastors United for Community Advocacy was created to critically analyze the causes of problems in the community and effect positive transformation in Milwaukee.

Pastors United advocates for the entire city but primarily the black community – seeing to it that spiritual, physical and emotional needs are all met.

There are six main focus areas: Family, family structure, health and wellness (including mental health), economic development and unemployment, crime and incarceration and the educational system, and civic engagement.

Ms. Mercedes Ferguson, youth director, Mercy Memorial Baptist Church who gave the opening remarks said: “It is important that the youth understand that the violence in the (Continued on pg. 2)

Announcing the premier The bridges performance of the (Continued from pg. 1) Bronzeville Arts Ensemble community is against us, An evening of performance art to celebrate Milwaukee’s new African American theatre company On Thursday, August 15, 2013, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Milwaukee Brotherhood of firefighters building, located at 7717 W. Good Hope Road, The Bronzeville Arts Ensemble will be making their first ever public performance.

Bronzeville Arts Ensemble is a new African-American theatre company whose mission is to present and promote full seasons of theatre and all related arts, literature, and new artists in Milwaukee beginning in the fall of 2013.

To inaugurate this new company, Bronzeville Arts Ensemble will be presenting a free performance that is open to our community showcasing dramatic scenes including a scene from an original play by former Milwaukee actor/ playwright Adolphus Ward, music, dance, and original poetry by some of Milwaukee’s most active and wellknown African American actors. Bronzeville Arts Ensemble includes well-known and highly-accomplished Milwaukee performance artists, directors, and educators:

Sheri Williams Pannell, Don Pannell, Malkia Stampley, Chike Johnson, Azeeza Islam, Allen Edge, Marvette Knight, and Bill Jackson.

The performance, "Introducing Bronzeville Arts Ensemble," will be preceded by a wine and appetizers reception during which guests will meet the company and learn about the Bronzeville Arts Ensemble's mission and plans for the future from 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. The performance by Bronzeville Arts Ensemble members will run from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. followed by a talkback and mingle from 8:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Admission is fee, though a suggested $10 donation is encouraged. Limited seating is available so reservations are required. Please call Pannell Production Company at 414815-6721. The will be ample parking and wine and appetizers will be provided.

we’re charging our youth today to make a difference, we are taking a stand and we are doing it together.

"Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) reads: (To everything there is a season. A time for every purpose under the heaven.)

“There’s been enough violence, stealing and killing; as Pastors United we call upon a time for healing and reconciliation in the AfricanAmerican community and the Milwaukee Police Department."

Pastors United acknowledges there has been a strain in this relationship. Pastors United also acknowledges

and is concerned with the level of violence that persists in the African-American community,” said Pastor Harold Moore of Mercy Memorial Missionary Baptist Church. During the press conference, Pastors United reaffirmed their support for Chief Edward Flynn.

Pastors United has requested an open dialogue with Chief Flynn’s office, in addition to joining together with other youth serving organizations in specific neighborhoods to expand youth engagement and action into promoting non-violence.

The community advocacy group hopes to open centers that allow citizens to file complaints to the Police and Fire Commission.

Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Stampley, president of Pastors

United, spoke at the press conference as well. “Our primary concern must be rooted spiritually. When you resort to violence, you are being pulled by the string of immaturity. Put God first, vertically and horizontally, we will be able to get along better,” he said.

Many others participated in the press conference as well, including, Sen. Lena Taylor, Common Council President Willie Hines and a host of other community leaders from Safe & Sound, and human trafficking prevention representatives.

All of the community organizations and leaders are on the same page and are following in the words of Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

African American Chamber moves to downtown Milwaukee The African American Chamber of Commerce in Milwaukee moved downtown after selling its previous office building on West Capitol Drive.

The chamber moved into a 1,283-square-foot space on the 10th floor of the office at 633 W. Wisconsin Ave., which Zilber Property Group owns.

“It puts us in the mix where

political, economic and business decisions are made,” said Eve Hall, president and chief executive officer.

The chamber’s former building at 6203 W. Capitol Drive had only one, undivided room, but recent growth of operations meant the chamber needs individual offices and meeting rooms that the new building provides, Hall said. One of those new

initiatives is a loan program for businesses, Hall said.

The chamber sold its West Capitol Drive building earlier this month for $50,000, according to state records.

Young and (unabashedly) black and male and on behalf of myself, in defense of myself

State of Equality Needed: Action agenda to educate our children

By Marcus Lee Student, Morehouse College

By Lezli Baskerville, Esq. At 5:00 a.m. and, careful not to wake her daughter and two sleeping grandsons, Helen gets dressed for the morning shift at a DC hotel kitchen.

“My supervisor is a kid. I hate it, but this job is all that’s keeping us from moving back to the shelter,” Helen told me, adding that, if they get lucky, her daughter Erika might earn a little extra, braiding hair in between caring for the boys and applying for work.

Helen once had high hopes that Erika, her youngest child, would become the first college graduate in the family.

But with the burden of more than $20,000 in defaulted student loan debt and

fees, the prospects that her daughter will ever return to finish her degree are bleak.

It’s the story of Helen’s family, and millions more like her.

The constricting economic burdens created by excessive student loan debt, not only

prevents young people from building wealth, it spirals outward in concentric circles ensnaring parents, children, grandchildren, strangling the economic growth of entire communities.

Student loan debt now exceeds $1 trillion, and not surprisingly, African Americans and other underserved minority students are disproportionately affected.

According to the Center for American Progress, 81 percent of African Americans borrow money at higher interest rates than their peers, which creates greater financial vulnerability. More than 13 percent of students whose loans came due in 2009 defaulted within three years for non-payment, a situation exacerbated by high unemployment, a struggling economy, and the effects of the Great Recession.

We need to shift the paradigm in a way that fundamentally uproots the assumptions underlying low-income students and public higher education funding. What if institutions which serve disproportionate percentages of low-income, first generation traditionally underrepresented students were funded based upon the socio-economic and demographic profile of the students and size of the institution’s endowment? The higher the percentage of lower income students enrolled and persisting in an institution, the higher its federal funding level. The national goal is, after all, moving more of the growing populations to college completion.

What if conflicting public policies were eliminated? For example, the cost of incarceration is $26,000 yearly per inmate. The tuition rates at the historically black Morgan State University are $17,000 and $25,000 respectively for in-state and out-of-state students, and represent positive cash flow to the state. Across the spectrum, the cost of attaining a degree at a (Continued on pg. 10)

Trayvon Martin's death and George Zimmerman's getaway reinitiated a conversation of crucial importance about race. This conversation has been mistakenly conflated with the very specific, raced and gendered experience of young, heterosexual, Black men. What makes this (unsurprising and frustrating) conflation particularly odd is that this conversation is being had without young Black men being present in the room.

This beautiful opportunity to have an honest and productive conversation about racial oppression and the trap that hegemonic masculinity presents to men of color is being used to have lazy and misinformed conversations about interpersonal, racist microaggressions (from the perspective of middle class, famous, political pundits) and imaginatively created narratives about self-imposed institutional oppression.

Though I've been able to hold in my frustration with the sophomoric nature of mainstream news in the present moment [and the moments past] for a while now, my boiling point came with Don Lemon's indictment of the Black community. Of course, this isn't the first [and won't be the last] indictment of the Black community. But this indictment was particularly hurtful for me. Maybe it's because of my temporary and uncritical acceptance of the idea that people that share social identities will share socio-political dreams and desires. Maybe it's because of my naive assumption that all Black men can and do love and care for other Black men and our general state and community as much as I do.

Either way, what his comments have reminded me of is the fact that racism was never constructed for Black people to understand.

My investment in Black men is deep. I come from a small family of two older brothers and four male firstcousins. I'm an ex-football player and track runner; and, in both cases, my coaches and teammates -- whether they were my fellow defensive linemen or the men I relied during relay races -- were Black men. And, I attend Morehouse College. I've struggled alongside Black men against racism and classism; and, I've struggled with them about homophobia and the devaluation of our sisters. Black men have been my best friends, my intimate

Marcus Lee partners, my classmates, my arch rivals, and my closest confidants. My investment in Black men is indeed deep.

My investment in us and my care for us compelled me to disrupt the misinformation of the present moment.

To begin, the state of Black men should not be analyzed in comparison to the White community (Whew! I'm so glad I got that off my chest!).

Equality rhetorics that push for objectivity and universality do little but impose false homogeneity among people, their histories, experiences, desires and dreams. People are not all the same and we don't have to be. Ignoring our particularities and centering the particularities of the White community only supports the public disregard of our needs and desires.

Putting this into context, I don't care that White people don't sag their jeans because that has nothing to do with me (Whew! Another weight lifted off my chest!). The focus on why Black men sag or whether or not it comes from prison culture allows for the avoidance of more pertinent political and philosophical questions: What happened to judging me solely based on the content of my character? Does that have limits; and, are those limits relative?

If sagging can [and should] be outlawed because it is too 'outrageous' and 'disrespectful,' and if these concepts are relative, then shouldn't we question whose understandings of these terms control what's outlawed and what's not and how that may disenfranchise a community of people? My grandmother has no issue with sagging but has a huge issue with ripped jeans -- she thinks they look raggedy, ridiculous and entirely improper. Shouldn't her understanding of attire be honored? Or does her status as an old, Black, poor woman disqualify her from informing social norms?

Also, if sagging is a symbol of anti-assimilation for Black men in general (as it certainly is for me in particular!), (Continued on pg. 4)

It’s up in the air

(unabashedly) black (Continued from pg. 3) then what are the implications of deeming it improper? What else is discouraged?

These questions will never be answered in a context in which the choices of White men are deemed most appropriate.

Furthermore, the liberation of Black men must happen alongside the liberation of all Black people. Therefore, analyses of our oppression must be checkered by 'both/ands' rather than 'either/ors.' This means that discussions and rallies about the untimely death of Trayvon Martin should not exclude the voices and experiences of women, LGBTQ people and the 500+ poor Black men dying in Chicago every day, but should happily incorporate those voices to be sure that everyone -- their voices and their real experiences -- are heard.

Lastly, racism should be discussed as an institutional and global phenomenon.

Political pundits continue to make the dangerous mistake of discussing racism as some 'silly,' never-ending game of Black vs. White. This analysis quiets the efforts of radical, extremely inclusive, White people who understand their privileges and work diligently with open ears, hearts and minds pushing for a more just society, erases other people of color that indeed experience racism, and supports the myth that Black people cannot be complicit with racism. Put simply, racism is a system of dominance that supports the basic idea that people of color are less valuable to society than White people through cultural norms and laws centered on the experiences of White men. People of all colors support or reject this system through their everyday choices -- whether they are supporting racism in the media by attributing the plight of the Black community to its aesthetics or rejecting racist cultural assimilation in their own way by sagging their pants while walking down the street.

The suggestions made here are not new or exhaustive -entire books have been written about these things and more. However, the misinformation in the media and

Rebuilding our Community

Trayvon Martin in textbooks calls for a reiteration. In addition, the exclusion of the very particular experience of Black women was done intentionally here not only because their experiences with racism are indeed unique and different from Black men, but also in order to leave room for women to discuss their own experiences in their own way, on their own terms. I look forward to listening to and receiving what Black women have to offer to this discussion.

What makes humans beautiful are our narratives. As society attempts to entangle young Black men in a web of imposed realities, polemical statements, and numerical data, it runs the risk of dislocating our humanity. We saw that very clearly in the George Zimmerman trial [and we see it in subsequent political rallies] -- How often do we discuss what Trayvon was like as a person rather than an object of political importance? What was he like? I don't mean his grades, his behavioral record, or anything else respectable political organizations try to use to justify rallying around what his death symbolized.

I want to know Trayvon personally -- what did he smell like? How did he walk? Did he have a catch phrase? The breadth and depth of these questions could expand endlessly; but, the point is that the real thing is too often lost in our political debates. My heart beats with frustration as Black men are discussed and depicted as being without agency either as complete victims of our environments or unintentional culprits of our own oppression. It's as if we're here in this conversation, but not here in reality. But we are here. I'm here; I'm young, Black, and male; and, my life -- not just the air in my lungs, but the story in my heart -- truly does matter.

I remember the captain of an airplane once coming on the intercom and saying… “please fasten your seat belts… we are experiencing some turbulence and it will get a little bumpy for the next few minutes…”

Talk about head winds and more… that certainly was an eventful day to say the least for me. But in light of several recent events, protests, scandals, congressional delays, state rights, civil rights, women rights, gun rights, Supreme Court decisions, global warming and natural disasters… this flight is far from over.

There are a lot of head winds today, even on clear and sunny days. If I see this right, our nation is now entering into uncharted social, political and scientific waters that have many people wondering what is going to happen to the greatest nation of modern times. This is more than just change, for change sake…it is change most of us have never experienced before and many are having a difficult time coming to grips with the perceived outcomes.

There seems to be more “blurring” along the social lines of what is fair, humane, and just in maintaining a good society. The situation gets even more complicated

"For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth.

No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place." ~Maya Angelou

when you factor in personal agendas, conservatives, liberals, the far right, far left, moderates, centrists, Tea Party and let’s not forget about those progressives. The issue is even more troubling when you consider that so much of what we were taught or have come to believe in is being altered. It is enough to keep your head spinning, a hand on your wallet or purse and an eye on the calendar for the next upcoming election.

It seems that we need to put together a survival kit that includes a life preserver, motion sickness pills, oxygen, first aid kit, parachute, a good book, voting card, food and some prayer. I know that it is hard to compare the upcoming changes in

our society with those from the past, but I am sure that our parents and ancestors had to endure some difficult situations, tough decisions, sacrifices, and personal loses. Let’s not forget slavery, WWI, WWII, the Depression, Vietnam, March on Washington, voting rights and the Cold War, to just name a few. The future is always difficult to predict for it is full of clouds, head winds, rain and sunshine… but like all planes that go up, they too must come down and land.

So, get your ticket early, the next flight is leaving soon… but make sure your seat belt is tight… this ride is going to be something.

The Counseling Corner

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

F.O.C.U.S. on education (Week 1) Summer is nearly over and many students are preparing to head off to college – some for the first time while others are returning to college. It is readily acknowledged college can be overwhelming, occasionally difficult and at times an intimidating journey. For all students there is a period of adjustment. However, focusing on every aspect of one’s education, the student will find their college years an awesome experience filled with new challenges and opportunities.

To help the student make the most of their college years, the articles this month are intended to encourage the college student to F.O.C.U.S. Defined, F.O.C.U.S is an acronym I developed for the five steps that will assist the student in achieving their educational goals. These simple tools were invaluable to my own college students and were imperative for their success. I believe these tools will take first-time or returning

college students beyond the realm of fuzzy college life into an actionable plan for results. Each week I will present an initial letter(s) of the acronym F.O.C.U.S. and its meaning. Please note these tools are not comprehensive and only includes fundamental focusing strategies that will provide the student with the basic tools they need to assist in engendering college success.

“F” = Focus and motivation The student orientation committee at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville indicates focus and motivation can be fickle and fleeting. Sometimes the best pep talks—substantive words, passionately delivered— which ring with stirring impact during orientation

might fizzle into empty repetition by the first day of class.

Motivation is far more complicated than delivering and responding to pep talks. The following are tips for the college student when it comes to focusing and motivation: • Goals. Specific goals provide both motivation and focus, identifying a target for the student’s actions. Often a visit with career services can assist the student with

establishing or refining long range goals.

Turning shorter term tasks into specific goals also helps the student succeed.

Goals must be crisp and clear, measureable by time and date as opposed to ambiguous and vague.

• O v e r whelmed? Well over half of college students report feeling overwhelmed by their workloads at some point in their college career. If the student’s lack of motivation stems from the enormity of the tasks they face, a personal visit with their academic advisor can help them get organized and begin to attack their work with prioritized and practical strategies.

Studying is a major component in a student’s success.

A student can increase their focus and concentration as they engage in their academic work, by adopting the following techniques:

• Find a place to study that is used only to study. Treat it as a place of action and attention, free from usual electronic or social distractions.

• Eliminate noise and sound distractions.

• Close out all computer programs except the one(s) needed for the immediate task at hand.

• Establish a separate time and place for participating in social media. Social media/ networking is a great way for students to stay connected with others; however, it should never interfere with study time.

Next Week: “O” = Organization Involvement on Campus The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in these articles, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer.

Rather, the objective is strictly informative and educational. If you would like to contact Rev. Lester, write to her c/o P.O. Box 121, Brookfield, WI. 53008.

General Baptist State Convention of Wisconsin, Inc. hosts its 88th Annual Session

The General Baptist State Convention of WI, Inc. (GBSC) will open its 88th Annual Session beginning Friday, August 2, 2013. The Annual Session will take place at the Canaan Baptist Church located 2975 N. 11th Street at 6:30 p.m. nightly.

The schedule of services for the week will begin with the Youth Department on Friday, August 2, 2013.

Youth President- Donovan Nathaniel will give his annual address.

Monday, August 5, 2013, the official opening ceremony will take place. The GBSC Parentbody will host the services. Various community representatives will address convention delegates regarding community topics that have been a focus and mission for the past year for the organization. Milwaukee Area Technical College’s president, Dr. Michael Burke will be one of the presenters.

If we are to meet President Obama’s national goal of graduating 60 percent of Americans with a two-or four-year degree by 2020, an estimated two million additional African American students must be educated.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities will need to increase the number of graduates per year from 35,000 to more than 57,000.

This will not happen without a major overhaul of the student financial aid system.

We must reform the Pell Grant program to require notification of likely Pell Grant eligibility to middle school student families participating in needs-based federal programs e.g., free/reduced lunch. This will incentivize low-income students to believe that college is possible.

We must devise an automatic income-based repayment (IBR) plan for student loans by which borrowers can make payments through employer withholding. If a student were unemployed, there would be no obligation to pay. If a student loan borrower must file for bankruptcy the code should be changed back to permitting privately issued student loans to be dischargeable in bankruptcy like nearly all other

forms of private debt.

We must cap student and parent loan interest rates on subsidized Stafford Student Loans, Parent Plus Loans, and other government education loans at no more than 2 or 3 percent to remove the twin obstacles of high interest rates and prohibitive student debt. This will assist 7.4 million student and parent borrowers.

We must incentivize governors, state legislatures, and municipalities to establish Promise Communities in which endowments would be established and funded by a percentage of the regular expenditures of residents e.g., utility and grocery bills.

The endowment would fund the cost of a four-year public education for qualifying lowincome students. This concept has achieved successful outcomes in several states.

A bold agenda? Absolutely.

If the lessons of the 1960s teach us anything, it is that real progress is not built on cautious compromises. We must begin a movement on behalf of black and brown, low-income, first generation students.

The components of the movement are there. It begins with an action agenda to educate our children from pre-school upward.

That’s the kind of movement that the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) is ready to lead. That’s the bold agenda that Helen’s family and other families in America desperately need now.

13TH Annual Fellowship Open to salute youth development

Diversity golf outing to honor former WI Senator Herb Kohl and Johnson Controls VP Charles Harvey for supporting Wisconsin youth programs The Fellowship Open, one of the country’s largest diversity charity golf outings, will extend its tradition of recognizing extraordinary leaders for their service and contributions to the Wisconsin community when it honors former Wisconsin Senator Herb Kohl and Johnson Controls executive Charles Harvey at its 13th annual outing, Friday, August 16, 2013 at the Silver Spring Country Club.

Since its inception, the Fellowship Open has raised more than $800,000 in support of more than 60 organizations that have made a positive impact on the lives of young people in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin.

“The Fellowship Open, as an idea and as an event, repre-

“Herb Kohl and Charles Harvey exemplify the best ideas in leadership and service consistent with the tradition of past honorees of the Fellowship Open. These awards confirm the legacies they have built in service to so many people -- especially

young people – through their outstanding business and civic leadership.”

Former Senator Kohl will receive this year’s Fellowship Open Legends Award for his contributions in government service, business and in philanthropy. In addition to serving as four-term senator for Wisconsin, he also established the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Award program, which provides annual grants to 100 graduating seniors, 100 teachers and 100 schools throughout Wisconsin. To date, Kohl’s foundation has awarded $8.2 million in support of education.

“Service in support of our next generation of leaders is an idea to which every citizen can aspire,” said Kohl. “I’m very fortunate to have been

I am proud to have an opportunity to play a small role in their success.”

Each year its ranks have grown with honorary chairs that bring outstanding attributes and commitments to the community. Among this year’s addition to honorary chairs are: Allan Spooner, president of Columbia St. Mary’s; Michael Taylor, senior vice president of PNC Bank and Earnell Lucas of Major League Baseball.

Greater Mt. Sinai Church of God in Christ, 5384 N. 60th Street, under the leadership of Supt. Victor Davis, celebrated their 15th annual Family and Friends week-end. Brother Glen McDaniels coordinated the event. The church had an outstanding event on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at Deneen Park. The picnic menu was comprised of grilled chicken wings, Italian sausage, brats, hotdogs, various desserts, salads and beverages. One churchgoer commenting on the picnic said: “It was awesome and there was overwhelming church membership participation.”

Bessie M. Gray: A lifetime devoted to the education of children Local educational icon celebrates her retirement

Ms. Bessie M. Gray On Sunday, July 21, 2013, 150 people gathered at a local ballroom to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Mrs. Bessie M. Gray. Mrs. Gray spent over 48 years in the field of Early Childhood Education and exemplified a level of expertise not many can claim. She has been a leader in many areas related to Early Childhood Education, the most notable of which is Gray’s Child Development Center, Inc. (the first African American led program in the State of Wisconsin accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children). Even today, few programs achieve that.

During the celebration many of Gray’s former em-

ployees, colleagues, and students shared remarks about their experiences and wished Mrs. Gray Godspeed as she transitions into the next phase of her life. Notable attendees included Congresswoman Gwen Moore (whose two sons attended Gray’s), Senator Lena Taylor, Former State Representatives Barbara Toles and Annette Polly Williams, Dr. Robert Pavlik of Marquette University (Mrs. Gray’s advisor), Ed Smith (the realtor who sold the Gray family their first home), Dr. Dorothy Travis (a colleague), Supervisor Grace Harris-Davis (Northwest Jurisdiction of Church of God in Christ), Supervisor Billie Jo Thomas (Southwest Jurisdiction of

Church of God in Christ), Superintendent Jonathan Saffold, Sr. (Jabez District and Bishop), Mrs. Charles McClelland, and a number of family and friends from Wisconsin, Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts.

The theme for the luncheon was “Mother to Many, Teacher to More, and Mentor to All.” Each person who spoke shared their experiences at Gray’s and how those experiences continue to influence them. One of the first three students Mrs. Gray had in her child care program was Dara Atandare, who is currently pursuing a doctorate in education.

Atandare shared that she felt part of the family at Gray’s and added that she continues to feel that way. Alderwoman Milele Coggs called Mrs. Gray the best child care provider. Proclamations from the White House were presented, and from Congresswoman Gwen Moore, Governor Scott Walker, Mayor Tom Barrett, State Representative Mandela Barnes, Common Council President Willie Hines, County Supervisor Khalif Rainey, and a personal letter from longtime friend and colleague, Secretary of the Department of Children and Families Eloise Anderson. There were also many local child care providers in attendance who

received their start by Mrs. Gray through their training, employment, and mentoring.

Mrs. Gray was also lauded with many cards and gifts to share her special day and will receive a DVD with thank you accolades from many

Rahim Islam, President/ CEO of Universal Companies stated, “After learning of these most serious allegations and the recent arrest of Mr. Johnson late Friday night, we at Universal Companies and the Universal Academy for the College Bound in the City of Milwaukee are extremely disheartened. Due to the seriousness of these allegations, effective immediately we have decided to terminate Mr. Johnson’s role with our company.

Johnson was a member of the local team working to open the two new Universal Academy for the College Bound campuses and reported directly to Dr. Penny Nixon, the Sr. Executive Vice President of Education for Universal Companies. Both campuses are set to open this fall.

“Our leadership team is dedicated to providing this community with the highest quality of education at our two Milwaukee campuses,” Dr. Nixon said. “We are moving forward with that vision and are excited to unveil these schools and offer a sound educational alternative to our community.”

“We’re thrilled about our rollout and look forward to our school opening in September,” said LaShawnda Holland, Universal Academy for the College Bound Principal and VP of Education.

Learn the facts about one of the most common sight-threatening conditions for African American older adults

Local eye MDs advise: Don’t let cataracts cloud your vision African Americans have nearly twice the risk of developing cataracts than Caucasians. This difference may be due to other medical illnesses, particularly diabetes.

African Americans are also much more likely to become blind from cataracts and glaucoma than Caucasians, mostly due to lack of treatment. Despite this threat, most people don’t know the facts about cataracts until they are “eye-to-eye” with one. Don’t let poor vision cloud your future. Educate yourself now about the signs and treatment for cataracts.

Cataract facts What exactly is a cataract?

“A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens located inside the eye behind the pupil,” states Dr. Brett Rhode, Head of Ophthalmology at Aurora Sinai Medical Center.

“This lens works like a camera lens—focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye to form the images you see. As you age, changes can cause clouding of this lens. This clouding is called a ‘cataract.’ As the clouding advances, or cataract ‘ripens,’ it can blur and glare vision to the point of inhibiting day-

to-day functioning. Depending on the type of cataract, the clouding may take years or just months to progress.”

What causes a cataract?

Cataracts are most commonly caused by the aging process (six out of 10 people over age 60 have some form). This clouding may also occur due to heredity, injury, disease (such as diabetes), medications (steroids/ cortisone), birth defects, and long-term, unprotected sunlight exposure.

How do you treat a cataract?

“There are no drugs, drops, glasses or exercises that will prevent or cure cataracts,” says Dr. Daniel Ferguson, a

partner at Eye Care Specialists, one of the state’s leading ophthalmology practices.

“The only effective treatment is to make an opening in the eye, surgically remove the cloudy lens (cataract), and replace it with an intraocular lens implant (IOL) to once again focus light rays onto the retina,” adds Ferguson, who, along with his partners, uses high-frequency ultrasound to gently break up and vacuum out cataracts through a tiny incision.

Intraocular Lens Implants (IOLs) IOLs not only provide sharper vision, but often improve sight to levels not seen in years. Local ophthalmolo-

gist and Harvard graduate Dr. Daniel Paskowitz explains, “Standard IOLs are mono-focal, acting like miniature internal contact lenses set for a single strength or prescription power—usually to provide clear vision in the distance for driving, watching TV, and other tasks. Most patients with these lenses still need reading glasses or bifocals. Newer ‘premium’ IOLs are designed to provide multiple focusing zones for a fuller range of vision near and far with little or no dependence on glasses. Your surgeon will help you determine which type of IOL is best for your eye, health, lifestyle and budget.”

When should you have surgery?

Dr. Mark Freedman, an ophthalmologist with thousands of cases under his surgical cap advises, “It’s not necessary to wait to remove a cataract until it’s so ripe that almost all vision is blocked.

In fact, if you wait too long, it can grow so dense that the operation becomes riskier and more difficult. I tell patients that if the cataract is preventing you from doing tasks, new glasses won’t improve clarity, and no other conditions exist which would negate the benefits of removal (like severe macular degeneration), then it’s time for surgery.”

Why do people hesitate?

An eye surgeon who sees patients at Milwaukee, West Allis and Mayfair area locations, Dr. Michael Raciti observes, “Some people delay surgery because they think it’s unaffordable. They don’t realize it’s covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurances.” Raciti adds, “Others think they are too old or that poor vision is just a fact of life that comes with age. We want everyone to know that vision loss from cataracts is usually reversible, and with today’s advanced techniques and equipment, cataract removal is one of the safest outpatient operations—even for the very elderly.

What happens before surgery?

“Once a patient decides to proceed, we put our years of experience to use in planning for the best possible outcome,” explains Rhode.

“We enter information regarding the length of the eye and curvature of the cornea into a special computer that calculates the power of IOL which would best restore vision to pre-cataract levels. We then customize the

type of implant and surgical technique to fit the patient’s needs—taking into consideration overall health, any diabetic or retinal problems, lifestyle, and other factors.

We never lose sight of the fact that even though we’ve performed tens of thousands of cataract procedures, each patient is unique.”

What happens after surgery?

After surgery, patients go home and resume almost all activities within hours, and vision noticeably improves within days. “Most people are so pleased with seeing things brighter and clearer, that they can’t wait to have their other eye done,” notes Dr. David Scheidt, past president of the Milwaukee Optometric Society.

Blurry vision increases the risk of falls, injuries and car accidents.

Cataract symptoms Take the test. Ask yourself: • Do you have trouble seeing, even with your glasses or contact lenses (and prescription changes don’t help)?

• Do you have foggy, blurred or double vision?

• Do you need more light to read or see?

• Are you uncomfortable going out at night because of poor vision?

• Do lights at night have a “starburst” or “halo” effect?

• Do bright lights, sunlight and glare bother you?

• Do you have trouble seeing to read small print or fill out forms and checks?

• Are colors not as bright as they used to be?

• Are you having trouble seeing the digital clock or channel numbers on the TV? • Do you have problems seeing the food on your plate?

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Healthy blood pressure (part 2) 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.

Self care Although considered incurable, at its base, HBP is the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. Overweight, diets high in salt, fat, and alcohol, smoking, chronic stress, persistent exposure to toxins, and sedentary habits are all contributing factors.

Correct any of these and the result is healthier blood pressure readings. Correct all of them and improve health exponentially. Of course, the changes must be maintained or the numbers will go back up.

"While some people need drugs to lower their blood pressure, millions can do it through diet," says Norman Kaplan, MD, the nationally known blood pressure ex-

pert. Eating an ideal diet not only lowers blood pressure but restores damaged blood vessels, kidneys, hearts, eyes, and brains. Kaplan agrees that whole, fresh, and lively foods are the basis of a healthy diet.

Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens; grains and legumes; nuts and seeds; low fat or no fat dairy foods; lighten up on meat and put deep water fish on the menu at least once a week. This diet ensures high fiber intake, increased

beneficial fat and decreased saturated fat, and a beneficial mineral balance. For many, weight loss comes automatically.

Consistently recommended by Nutrition News, these foods mirror the original DASH diet, developed for the NIH by a world class team of doctors and nutritionists.4 The first DASH study involved 459 individuals (8,800 applied), sixty percent of whom were African Americans. In the amazing results of the 12-week study,

reductions in blood pressure occurred in the first week, stabilized within two weeks, and remained low during the remaining weeks.

Losing weight is another positive effect of a fresh food diet. This is sometimes the only thing people need to do to bring blood pressure levels to normal. Even a loss of ten pounds can make an improvement. Although HBP does not necessarily follow a weight problem, overweight people are three times more likely to have it than normal weight individuals. In fact, obesity is a key factor in 60 percent of all cases of HBP. In the US, weight increases with age. By age 74, half of us have high blood pressure.

In societies where weight does not increase with age, neither does blood pressure.

A natural diet also implies greater fiber intake and the use of vegetable-based (rather than animal-based) fat sources. Diets with high fiber and low fat have been shown to have benefits in reducing blood pressure. In addition, studies show high fiber diets to be effective in preventing and treating many forms of

A wholesome diet is also low in sodium and provides sufficient potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Denatured foods like sugar hydrogenated fats, caffeine, and white flour are avoided.

These substances activate the stress response, using up nutrients and weakening the body's ability to recover from common stressors.

Beyond diet, other lifestyle changes can improve the result. Of course, smoking is out. Not only is it a major heart disease risk factor, nicotine actually constricts the small blood vessels and thickens the blood, directly affecting blood pressure levels.

You’ll decrease your risk of falling and hip fractures. Of the nearly 1,000 hip fractures that occur in the U.S., many are due to visual impairment (often from cataracts).

Medicare covers 80 percent of the allowable cost of cataract surgery and supplemental insurance covers a majority (or sometimes all) of the remaining cost.

4 things parents should know before paying for college Financial specialist shares ways to help your child while protecting your retirement From $20,000 to $65,000 a year – that’s the tuition cost for one year of college, says John McDonough, a money expert who helps retirees and parents plan for their families’ futures.

“For the 2012–2013 academic year, the average cost for an in-state public college is $22,261. A moderate budget for a private college averaged $43,289,” says McDonough, CEO of Studemont Group College Funding Solutions, www.studemontgroup.com.

“But for elite schools, we’re talking about three times the cost of your local state school. Either way, your kid’s higher education can easily shoot into six figures after four years.”

Along with worrying about rising tuition prices, parents also fear for their own futures if their retirement savings are drained by children’s college costs, McDonough says. Only 14 percent, for example, are very confident they’ll have the money to live comfortably in retirement, he says, citing a 2012 survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

“Families feel they’re faced with conflicting goals, but there are numerous ways to pay for college while investing in your future retire-

ment,” says McDonough, who offers insights for parents to keep in mind while planning for their child’s education: • The ROI of a college education: At a time when so many American families are financially strapped, college is an especially stressful topic because parents know higher learning will help their kids succeed. College graduates earn 84 percent than those with only a high school diploma, according to Georgetown’s Center on Education and the Workforce. Here is how earning breaks down over one’s life time, based on

education: a doctoral degreeholder will earn $3.3 million over a lifetime; $2.3 million is estimated for a college graduate; those with only a high school diploma can expect $1.3 million.

• Move retirement assets to qualify for grants: Most parents know about the 529 savings account, but that’s not necessarily the best or only option. Reallocating your retirement assets, such as 401(k)s, can better position a child to qualify for grants and scholarships. This legal and ethical maneuvering may be the single most important factor when considering how

to pay for college.

• Know your stud e n t ’ s strengths and weaknesses: Consider independent and objective analysis of your future college student.

Assessment might include a personality profile and a detailed search for a future career. Also think about a more nuts-and-bolts approach, including scholarship eligibility, SAT and ACT prep courses, review of admissions essays and an indepth analysis of chances for enrollment in a student’s top four choices of colleges.

• Make a checklist of financial aid forms: In order to maximize a fair price of higher education, remember there is plenty of data to review. McDonough recommends a checklist with a timeline and notable deadlines. Be ready to troubleshoot the “alphabet soup” of data forms: FAFSA –

Free Application For Federal Student Aid; CSS profile – College Scholarship Service; SAR – Student Aid Report; and more. Think about this process as a second job, or find professional help you can trust.

About John McDonough John McDonough is the managing member at Studemont Group, which is primarily focused on helping retirees gain peace of mind with unique market rescue and recovery programs. He is also founder, president and CEO of Studemont Group College Funding Solutions. His experience in the financial services industry includes managing partner at Granite Harbor Advisors in Houston and divisional vice president of AXA Equitable/AXA Advisors, the third largest insurance company in the world.

What’s Happening?

Wheaton Franciscan hosts 'Men's Health Night'

Staff Photo

Nearly 200 African American men and their families gathered at Wheaton Franciscan – St. Joseph Campus for a candid discussion about men’s health among African Americans. Compared to the general population, African American men are disproportionately affected by diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer. Inspired by overcoming childhood health problems, LeRoy Butler, retired Green Bay Packer Hall of Famer and inventor of the “Lambeau Leap,” shared stories of what it took to overcome his own personal health issues. He encouraged men to put aside

being “macho” and lead the health efforts for themselves and their families. Some of the participants (back row l-r) are: Gloria Singleton – Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, Darryl Davidson – City of Milwaukee Health Department, Comedian Marlin Hill of Jammin 98.3, Ernest Colburn, RN, Wheaton Franciscan, ORell Williams, MD, Wheaton Franciscan, Eric Von of Brain Brawn & Body, LeRoy Butler; and front center (l-r): Theresa Jones and Rosha Hamilton, both of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, and Kevin Izard, MD, Wheaton Franciscan.
