The General Baptist State Convention of WI, Inc., recognizes community partnerships The General Baptist State Convention of WI, Inc. (GBSC) celebrated 88 years of community service this past week, August 5 - August 9, 2013.

On Monday, President Garry Levy, officially opened the 88th Annual session with the organizational business meeting. Evening services began at 6:30 p.m. with opening ceremonial services. Various community partners addressed delegates specifically discussing cosleeping and the convention’s upcoming state-wide health fair and Women’s Conference. Reverend Aaron Morgan was the speaker.

Dr. Bonita Smith, president of the Woman’s Auxiliary, addressed convention delegates offering her stewardship report and encouraged the women to “continue to follow President Levy as he follows Christ,” on Tuesday. The women of the GBSC participated in the annual “Women in White” March. Over 200 women, led by their pastors and firstladies, participated. Participation Awards were given to Second Baptist-Madison as the first-place winner for the largest number of women participating. Dr. Smith and the auxiliary paused to recognize Reverend Anthony Wade, pastor of Second Baptist-Madison and Dr. Lillian Johnson for their outstanding commitment to the GBSC. Wednesday, Deacon Albert Brown, president of the Laymen gave his annual address. Deacon Brown spoke to the delegates reminding

Brown invited Dr. Rose Scott to address delegates providing information of our Black men that are incarcerated. She spoke to the delegates about the need to advocate for individuals that cannot afford an advocate.

Thursday, was the climax of the week. President Garry Levy gave his second annual address. President Levy provided convention pastors and delegates with his stewardship report, noting his leave of absences due to medical reason. Though having undergone quadruple bypass heart surgery, President Levy was extremely

busy initiating several major community partnerships throughout the state. Levy spoke regarding the GBSC Affordable Care Conference (ACA) held in October 2012 at Milwaukee Area Technical College. Several federal, state and local experts were panelists addressing the community on the expectations of ACA. Then in April 2013, President Levy signed the GBSC as one of two denominations, as part of the Urban Church Wellness ministries of Columbia St. Mary’s.

Levy closed his annual address with a powerful sermon entitled, “Why can’t we all just get along?” Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12 (KJV). Levy stressed the importance of working together in unity to fulfill

God’s purpose. He stressed that each convention delegate, pastor and our community all need each other.

On Friday, August 9, the General Baptist State Con-

GBSC recognized the past presidents that have served during the last 88 years of the organization’s history.

Dr. Bonita F. Smith, President of the General Baptist State Woman’s Auxiliary to The General Baptist State Convention of Wisconsin, Inc., delivered her Seventh Annual Address and Stewardship Report during the 88th Annual Session held at Canaan Baptist Church Tuesday, August 6, 2013. “Stand Your Ground: Strive to be a Fit Vessel" (II Timothy 2:19-21) was the theme of her annual message in which she implored every member of the congregation “…to be fit vessels – fit in mind, fit in body, (and) fit in spirit.” Dr. Smith said: “Man’s unfitness is a direct result of his inability to avoid thinking in a manner that is contrary to God’s will.” And as Christians desiring to be temples of God, reflective of His presence and purpose is to be a vessel that seeks the strength to be what God has called us to be “…a vessel that is sanctified, and ready for the master’s use.” She concluded her message encouraging everyone to “…work hard at being fit Christians and strong vessels of honor for the Lord and fit for His use.” Pictured above (l-r) are: Sister Aretha McCullar, GBSC Director of Christian Education Dr. Louise Mormon and Woman’s Auxiliary President Dr. Bonita F.

CHILD WATCH “Dear President Obama . . . Guns are really easy to get and people think they need them to protect themselves, but most times they’re showing off and making more problems and adding to the violence . . . 7 people are too many to lose and I don’t want to see another one of my friends, or even myself gone. We need a change.”

In mid-July, students at Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools® summer enrichment sites across the country participated in a National Day of Action. The Freedom Schools program seeks to empower children to know that they are not just citizens in waiting. We want them to grow up knowing that they can and must make a difference in their homes, schools, communities, nation, and world. Many wrote letters this summer to President Obama, members of Congress, and local officials sharing their beliefs about gun laws and personal experiences with gun violence. Some were inspired by the March 2013 Washington Post Magazine article “What’s Your Number?” which asked readers how many people they knew who had been killed or injured by

guns. The youths who wrote the letters had more experience than most. They are all boys between 15 and 20 years old who attend the Maya Angelou Academy at the New Beginnings Youth Development Center just outside Washington, D.C., one of six juvenile justice facilities across the country that have joined colleges, community groups, faith networks, public schools, municipalities, and dozens of other organizations hosting Freedom Schools sites.

“Dear President Obama . . . I am writing this letter to you because the longer people have access to illegal firearms, there will be more deaths to come . . . The more people suffer in poverty, the more there will be chaos and violence . . . It has to stop now! We all have to come as

one. These young brothers are hypnotized by negativity.

Help these young brothers, President Obama.”

Many of the boys at New Beginnings come from highpoverty neighborhoods saturated with gun violence. As their Freedom Schools site coordinator Chelsea Kirk says, “Gun violence is not just something we talk about lightly at the Academy; in fact gun violence and the effects of gun violence are very real in the lives of our scholars . . .

In addition to the letters, our scholars recorded the total number of people they have lost to gun violence in their lives. The numbers speak for themselves.”

In two dozen letters their litany went on: “My cousin died from a gun.” “My friend got killed.” “My uncle got shot.” “My little brother got

shot.” An even sadder message quietly emerged in some of the letters: while most were clear about the terrible impact of guns on their friends and families, several of the boys now believed that getting their own gun was the only way they could make themselves feel safer. One student who said he was at New Beginnings because of weapons charges explained his feelings this way: “I was carrying my gun because I had to protect myself from being shot. I’m a very smart young man, you can ask my teachers, my friends, and my family, and I plan to have a great future. But, first I must make it through the present.”

These students are a very small example but too many children across the country feel the same way. In a nation with 315 million people and 310 million guns, urban neighborhoods are not the only communities overflowing with guns and teenagers in inner-city D.C. are not the only children who believe there are so many guns in our country they might need one too in order to survive.

And what message did it give these students when Trayvon Martin, a teenager who looked a lot like them and

was not carrying a gun, was followed, shot, and killed by an adult while doing nothing wrong and the adult was set free?

Unless we want to give up and agree that the only way to survive our nation’s gun violence crisis is for every adult, teenager, and child in America to own a gun, we need to provide common sense solutions like universal background checks and a ban on high capacity ammunition magazines—now.

Our children are afraid for their friends, their families, and themselves. They know something needs to change.

But they can’t get there without us—and they certainly can’t get there by arming themselves with still more guns.

Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

HBCU closures: A reversible trend?

By Matthew Lynch, Ed.D.Author, "Before Obama: A Reappraisal of Black Reconstruction Era Politicians" Though their original purpose has evolved, the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities is still a vital one in America's education system. As more HBCUs start to look like the rest of the secondary education institutions in the country, they must find ways to blend tradition with progressive thought in terms of diversity and education for all. The rich history of HBCUs is not to be dismissed; in fact, it is those roots that make them a stable part of the U.S. higher education system.

Except when that stability falters. Lately it seems there are just too many HBCUs in the news for the wrong reason: financial and accreditation woes that threaten, or deliver, closure.

On June 3, Saint Paul's College officials announced that it planned to close its doors -- at least temporarily.

The news followed a proposed merger with Saint Augustine's University that fell through. After 125 years, the rural school, which employs

roughly 75 people in the community of Lawrenceville, Virginia, had no choice but to close its doors to new students, and help current ones find placement elsewhere.

After several years of highly-publicized financial problems, Morris Brown College turned down a bailout from the city of Atlanta in June that would have eliminated its bankruptcy troubles. In August, Morris Brown filed for federal bankruptcy protection to prevent foreclosure. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and other city officials were more than a little surprised when the school rejected the $10 million offer that was designed to benefit the city too. A Morris Brown lawyer said the rejection is due to the school receiving an undisclosed, better offer from somewhere else. For now, though, Morris Brown is still $35 million in over its head, by some accounts.

Why is this happening?

In the case of Morris Brown, a few factors play into the closure issue. The first is geographic location.

Morris Brown competes for students with four other HBCUs -- including nation-

ally ranked Morehouse and Spelman Colleges. The other is money -- plain and simple. The alumni of Morris Brown contribute at a rate of less than 5 percent and board members are led by the African Methodist Episcopal church -- not affluent community members or alumni.

Saint Paul's has tried for several years to stay afloat, even cutting out its athletic programs to focus on academics, but to no avail. In both cases, lack of funds is due in part to low student enrollment and in part due to meager alumni contributions.

Specifics aside, though, I think HBCU closures are part of a larger issue. The original purpose of these schools was to provide higher education opportunities to black students and in many

cases, to former slaves. Morris Brown holds a particularly fond place in black education history because the school was founded by former slaves -- not white people with philanthropic agendas.

The landscape of today's colleges is not as exclusionary as it was even 20 or 30 years ago though. The higher education opportunities are literally endless for all students so the necessity of HBCUs, at least for diversity purposes, is no longer in play.

When is an HBCU closure good?

The old adage that any affiliated group is only as strong as its weakest link is certainly true when it comes to HBCUs. Morris Brown is still $30 million in debt after 15 years of financial struggle and has a dwindling student

population. The successful years of the college are now tainted. Saint Paul's lost its accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and instead of carrying on classes as usual until an answer could be found, decided to close its doors.

Though Saint Paul's closure is a loss in the HBCU community, it is better than an unaccredited, affiliated school that harms the reputation of the rest.

What can be done to stop HBCUs from closing?

The only way for any college to survive in the current educational landscape is for it to focus on the student experience above all else. For an HBCU that means letting go of polarizing "traditions" that do not welcome students of all backgrounds. There is a reason the word "historically" is used -- the role of HBCUs today are much more complex and inclusive.

It is not enough to expect students to want to attend a college based on the past. It needs to provide a promising future that is representative of the real world, too.

Discovering my true self in Africa Say what? You want me to be a pastor? (part 1)

By Tony Farrell As you may recall, God had gently led me to work on empowering all the hungry and impoverished people of the world to be able to grow their own food. One of the reasons I said yes was because He had provided an amazing training center right here in my hometown Milwaukee – Growing Power.

For me, participating in the Commercial Urban Agriculture (CUA) program at Growing Power was an exercise in extreme humility.

The focal point of the program was to build an urban food production center in a low income neighborhood.

Yet here I was – “little me” with no land, swamped in debt, no relationships with people to help get started and very weak farming skills.

Had there not been others in the program also wearing similar hats, I likely would have dropped out. I had passion, purpose and vision, but no tangible project. Thankfully, it turned out this was enough.

During the five months of CUA, three ideas were permanently ingrained into my soul. One was that everything starts by building soil because our existing soils are

toxic and infertile; therefore we have to build our own through composting. Another was the importance of loving everyone as they are and working on dismantling the systemic structures that hold people in separation such as racism – human composting, they called it.

I also kept hearing from Will Allen that we need to get started, we need to do something, we need to take action, and we need to do it right now. Right now there are people starving, people without good food to eat, numbering in the tens of millions at home and billions worldwide. It seemed like Will Allen was staring right at me as he said through the microphone, “If you don’t do something about it, this is never going to change. It’s up to you, so go get started right away!”

Rebuilding our Community

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

Lifting the veil Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. All across America there are countless number of statues that have been erected that reveal much about our nation’s past. Each statue offers a point of reference in the collective conscience of our nation and pays tribute to a time, event or to a person that has made a significant contribution in society. Of course some people do not see all statues in the same way as I do and… yes, some statues do spark a lot of debate about their meaning.

All the same, these statues for good or bad, remind us of who we are, where we have been and what we have done in the American experience.

One of the most significant statues in my opinion in America is in Tuskegee, AL on the historical campus of Tuskegee University. It is called “Lifting the Veil of Ignorance.” This statue is a depiction with Booker T. Washington, the founder, lifting a cloak from the head and body of a young man who is symbolized as a terrified slave. In the slave's hand is a book which represents education; and who crouches on a plow and anvil, representing tools of

spark to continue the debate about the value of technical education in a modern society. This statue by far has stood as an undaunted reminder that there is still a lot of work to do, even in the 21st century.

We all can learn a lot from this noteworthy statue of our past; it continues to stand for something and a bench mark of greater and better things to come. Milwaukee, like so many other major cities in America is looking for answers to improve the academic achievement of black youth, especially black males. Perhaps some of those answers can be found not in the present, or future, but from the distance past, when the odds of getting a college education at all were truly a miracle. Maybe, just maybe… Booker T. Washington had it right all along… there is still a need to help lift the veil. And in his own words, he stated, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.”

agriculture and industry. A replica of this statue can also be found on the campus of Hampton University in Virginia, Washington's alma mater.

This unique bronzed statue was designed by sculptor Charles Keck and erected in 1922.

This amazing statue has stood for nearly 90 years and has come to symbolize the link that exists between Tuskegee’s past and its future. In a sense it displays the dream of one man in his quest to lift African Americans by providing a quality education that shows the way to a better life. The statue only provides a mere glimpse into what the legacy of Booker T. Washington was about. It in no way tells Dr. Calhoun can be reached the full story of his journey, at andrewiiicalhoun@gmail.com, hopes, dreams, struggles, and twitter: AC53, Facebook. failures. But it does provide a

Cross-racial friendships linked to age, gender, education and income

By Deborah Plummer Diversity Solutions Thought Leadership I read with great interest the results of the recent Reuters Poll that suggested that about 40 percent of white Americans and about 25 percent of non-white Americans have friends that cross racial lines. After many years of studying racial identity development and its interface with interpersonal relationships and group interactions, I became convinced that race relations in the U.S. would only improve if there were more friendships that cross racial lines. So, to test this theory, I set out to examine the nature and patterns of friendships, particularly those that crossed racial lines.

Beginning in 1999 and completing the data collection in 2003, I distributed a Friendship Survey across the U.S. and conducted focus groups in four major cities: Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco.

The results were incorpo-

rated in "Racing Across the Lines: Changing Race Relations through Friendships" published by Pilgrim Press in 2004 and revised and updated in 2009.

The results from the 2003 data indicated that the majority of Americans are racially encapsulated not only in where we live, but in how we socialize. It further suggested that most individuals only experience racial diversity in their work or school settings. As a result, similar to the Reuters Poll, the majority of Americans do not have friends that cross racial lines.

I also conducted a leisure

activity survey and found that across racial lines we enjoy the same kind of leisure activities -- movies, reading, dining out, live theater, concerts, museums, parks, zoos, sports/games, jazz clubs, comedy clubs, horse racing,music (listening to it or playing an instrument), roller skating, water sports, Internet surfing, shopping, biking, traveling, golfing, sewing/crafts -- you name it, we have enough in common that we like to do. However, we engage in these activities in a segregated manner. Even the majority of our faith (Continued on pg. 11)

The Counseling Corner

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

F.O.C.U.S. on education (Week 4) As we wrap up the articles on education, last, but certainly not least is “S” = Scholastic/Academic Excellence.

Scholastic/ academic excellence is the demonstrated ability to perform, achieve and/or excel in scholastic activities. Scholastic/academic excellence is more than just making good grades – it is the maximum development of one’s intellectual capacities and skills in service to humanity. Maintaining scholastic/ academic excellence is the key to a college student’s success. As one copes with the rapidity with which knowledge itself changes, today’s college student must seek to achieve scholastic/academic excellence. Compliments of the University of California State University at Fresno,

the following are ways the college student can achieve scholastic/academic excellence in college: • Select a major which has a strong basic curriculum as a course of study.

• Complete a strong liberal arts and science background in addition to your major field of study.

• Learn to use the library and use it often, since it offers a wealth of historical and current information which can greatly enhance your classroom experiences and your general overall understanding.

• Develop self-confidence, persistence and leadership abilities.

• Develop an attitude of social responsibility and an understanding of cultural and intellectual differences.

• Participate in honors and enrichment programs.

• Select friends who are dedicated students and are serious about their grades.

• Learn efficient management of your time.

• Participate in summer enrichment programs such as industrial co-op programs, summer research programs, youth hostels, travel programs, or internships.

• If you have the op-

portunity, study abroad.

• Attend lectures, concerts, art exhibits, theatrical performances, seminars, and other cultural activities whenever possible.

• Get involved in a club or activity directly related to your major as a means of meeting other students, faculty and professionals in your study area.

Beloved, let me offer a final word. Attending college can be a bit intimidating, challenging and a little nerve - racking but certainly it can be an exciting time for a college student. To achieve the maximum success in college, students are encouraged to remember the acronym F.O.C.U.S.: F = Focus and Motivation O = Organization Involvement On Campus C = Community Service

Learning U = Utilize Campus Resources S = Scholastic/Academic Excellence Whether you are a firsttime student or a returning college student, I am “…confident of this that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

communities -- churches, mosques, synagogues -- are racially segregated in their membership and ministry.

Ten years after conducting this research, we are in the process of conducting the same survey and will be conducting more focus groups and informant interviews.

We began fielding the survey in June and will continue to collect data until September 30, 2013. The survey takes only about five minutes to complete.

Preliminary results of over 800 respondents suggest that having friends of different races is highly correlated with gender, age, educational level and income. Women tend to have more friends that cross racial lines; ages 18 to 45 have more cross racial friends; those with masters degree and above, and those who make six figures or above report having more than eight friends that cross racial lines.

Although friends that cross racial lines share the same educational level and income, they are less likely to share the same political affiliation or faith community.

The survey does not intentionally define friendship; rather it asks about shared experiences as an indicator of level and intensity of the relationship. Preliminary results suggest that shared experience with friends that cross racial lines is primarily characterized as socializing

11

in each other's homes (dinner, parties, birthday celebrations). However, vacationing together, late night/early morning calls for support, borrowing money, and witnessing a family argument are activities that are shared to a much lesser degree.

These findings suggest that our friendships that cross racial lines lack the bench strength to withstand the intensity of a deep and honest conversation such as those provoked by the verdict in the Trayvon Martin case. A question in the Friendship Survey asks respondents to describe an incident that proved to be stressful or upsetting that occurred with their friend of a different race. References to the Trayvon Martin case are trending in the 2013 survey, similar to how the OJ Simpson and Rodney King cases were themes in the 2003 survey.

Crossing racial lines in friendships takes time and understanding. It requires patience to learn how to trust; it is often exhausting when we try to communicate effectively; and it is often painful when there are racial clashes.

Yet, all of the time, energy, and personal expense spent with having friends that cross racial lines is so worth the benefits: reduced racial isolation in communities; the creation of a better and informed citizenry; expansion of the concept of citizenship to a global level; improvement of team performance in organizations; and more innovation. I remain convinced that these cross racial friendships, where the risks are taken to go deeper, will result in benefits for all of us.

Education

Bulletin Board MPS student wins UW-Madison honor Rufus King International School incoming senior Adetola Coker was honored as the 2013 female Paul Barrows Winner at the UWMadison PEOPLE program awards banquet last week.

The Paul Barrows Award is given to the top male and female among the PEOPLE “Best of the Best” designees.

PEOPLE, which stands for Pre-college Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence, is a pipeline for students of color and low-income students, most of whom will become first-generation college students.

Adetola was selected from a group of 32 Best of the Best for her academic performance, rigorous course loads, high ACT scores, and involvement in leadership and community service activities. In addition to being on the Honor Roll and in National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society, Adetola is in the Language Club, band, drum line, and Black

Student Union. Outside of school, she volunteers at a nursing home and organizes food drives.

As a PEOPLE scholar, Adetola participates in yearround sessions in Milwaukee and at summer sessions at UW-Madison, which focus on academic skills, college classroom experience, campus orientation and cultural enrichment activities.

This summer, Adetola completed her PEOPLE summer internship in the school's Department of Surgery. If accepted to Madison, she plans to major in biology and then plans to go on to medical school to become a surgeon. Ultimately, she wants to start a health clinic in her family’s homeland of Nigeria. “Basically, I plan to give back to my community,” she says.

Ten other MPS students were among the 2013 Best of the Best PEOPLE program: Sabria Borom (Rufus King); Maria Cerda (Ronald Reagan High School); Xong

Adetola’s work with the UW-Madison Department of Surgery will help her in her future career as a surgeon.

Chang, (South Division High School); Alexandra Espada (Ronald Reagan); Stephan Guma (Rufus King); Cheng Fu Hang (Rufus King); Nhu Quynh Nguyen (Ronald Rea-

gan); Coty Weathersby (Ru- Madison are eligible for a fus King); Cherubim C. Yang five-year tuition grant.

MPS leaders’ donations add $4,675 for supplies to $50K+ raised

by Salvation Army, WISN 12 Milwaukee Public Schools teamed up with the Salvation Army and WISN 12 this week to raise money to purchase school supplies for MPS students.

Thanks to many generous Milwaukee-area residents, at least three MPS schools with a significant number of low-income students will receive backpacks full of school supplies for every student.

Superintendent Gregory Thornton also challenged MPS administrators to open their hearts – and wallets – to join the Salvation Army effort. In just three days, principals and administrators donated $4,675 to add to the $50,000-plus already raised

by the Milwaukee community.

Principals in the northwest region of schools raised the most money – more than double what any other region raised – and a raffle was held to select the third MPS school to receive supplies.

Hi-Mount, Auer and Lancaster schools will receive supplies.

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.

Supplement Your Health In addition to dietary changes, taking supplements can help to lower HBP and to maintain already healthy blood pressure. If your readings are over 115/75 and you are not currently on medication for HBP, give this program a 30-day trial. Many nutrients affect blood pressure similarly to medications.

Thus, if you're on medications, consult your physician.

Unhappily, many older people will also need medication to lower their blood pressure.

Black infants in U.S. twice as likely to die as whites: CDC

South has highest rates of infant mortality, gov’t report finds Survival odds for black American infants are considerably worse than for white babies, a new U.S. study finds.

Despite a steady decline in overall infant death rates, black infants are nearly twice as likely to die before their first birthday compared to white babies, and premature black infants are three times more likely to die during their first year than premature white babies, according to figures released August 15, 2013 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report also notes that the South accounts for the majority of states with the highest rates of infant death.

The findings of racial and regional disparities show that challenges remain, according to the study, published in the Aug. 8 issue of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Also, the United States lags behind other developed nations in terms of infant deaths. “Since 1950, medical technology has helped to reduce infant mortality, but the United States still has a relatively poor global standing,” the report states.

“In 2010, the United States ranked 32nd among the 34 nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in infant

HBP among those with lower amounts. NHANES reports that nearly 75 percent of light-skinned and up to 90 percent of dark-skinned Americans get insufficient vitamin D. For several years, we have harped on the importance of vitamin K2. This is because K2 makes sure calcium goes to the bones and doesn't lay down in the arteries and form plaque. Animal studies indicate that K2 supplements can reverse calcified arteries.

(Schurgers 2007) Garlic has long been recognized for its effects on HBP. Besides supporting heart health, fish oil studies have shown reductions in blood pressure. Studies show that these foods taken daily display blood pressure lowering properties: whey protein (1 srvg), celery (1/2 c. cooked), and pomegranate juice (1/4 c.).

The overall U.S. infant death rate -- defined as death within the first year of life -has declined over the past 50 years, and in 2011 was 6.05 per 1,000 live births, the report notes.

Type 2 diabetes patients with dangerously low blood sugar levels may be at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, according to a new study.

Given their findings, “less stringent glycemic targets may be considered for type 2 diabetic patients at high risk of hypoglycemia (severely low blood sugar),” the researchers said.

A dangerously low blood sugar level often is classified as a medical emergency. Previous observational studies have reported a link between severe hypoglycemia and cardiovascular disease risk, but the association remains conships may help improve the troversial.

The results suggest that severe hypoglycemia is associated with a two-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the researchers said.

Because of this, preventing severe hypoglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes may be important to prevent cardiovascular disease, the researchers said in a journal news release.

The link between severe hypoglycemia and increased cardiovascular disease risk has previously been explained by patients having one or more other serious illnesses, but this is an unlikely explanation, the researchers said.

They said the incidence of serious illnesses would need to be “unrealistically high” among patients who developed severe hypoglycemia, and the link between serious illnesses and cardiovascular disease would have to be “extremely strong.”

Honoring grandparents who raise their grandkids

In 1978, Congress passed legislation proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. Presidents since Jimmy Carter have issued proclamations urging citizens to, in the words of President Barack Obama, "honor those who have helped shape the character of our nation, and thank these role models for their immeasurable acts of love, care and understanding."

At a stage in life when many people are already comfortably retired, some 2.7 million grandparents have taken on the responsibility of providing basic needs for their grandchildren, according to data compiled by Generations United. An alarming 21 percent of these vital caregivers live below the poverty line, even though 60 percent are still in the workforce.

All told, an estimated 7.8 million children under 18 live in households headed by grandparents or other relatives, including those whose parents are absent due to death, substance abuse, mili-

tary deployment or other reasons.

Ironically, even though many of these "grandfamilies" barely scrape by, they save taxpayers more than $6.5 billion each year by keeping children out of the foster care system. So it only seems fair that many federal, state and local aid programs are available to help these guardian angels provide financial and emotional safety nets for their grandchildren.

Among the many difficulties these families sometimes face: If you become your grandchild's foster parent, you're responsible for day-to-day decisions and care, although the state retains legal custody and pays for the child's care.

Unless you establish some form of legal relationship (custody, guardianship or adoption), the parent may be able to take your grandchild from your home at any time.

In some states, it's difficult to enroll the child in school or get medical care without some form of legal relationship.

Most senior-only housing complexes don't allow child residents – which is legal – so some grandfamilies are forced to move.

However, grandfamilies may be eligible for several federal tax credits: A Child Tax Credit of up to $1,000 for each qualified grandchild, provided they lived with you for more than half the filing year and are under 17 at year's end.

If you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, you may be eligible for an additional amount for grandchildren you support.

A Child and Dependent Care Credit for childcare ex-

penses incurred so you can work or seek employment.

If you adopt your grandchildren, you may be eligible for a nonrefundable Federal Adoption Credit of up to $12,970 per child.

In addition, depending on your income and the health/ disability status of your grandchildren, you may also be eligible for benefits from Medicaid, your state's Children's Health Insurance Program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and numerous other federal, state and local aid programs.

Helpful resources for grandfamilies include: • Grandparents Raising

Grandchildren, a government-sponsored site at www. usa.gov, that provides links to various subject-matter experts.

• AARP's comprehensive GrandFamilies Guide (at www.aarp.org).

• Benefits QuickLINK, an AARP tool to find out whether you or your grandchildren qualify for 15 different public benefits.

• GrandFacts, a searchable database at www.aarp.org, where you can locate key state and local resources, foster care policies and services, public benefits, financial and education assistance, and relevant state laws.

• Generations United, whose "Grandfamilies" website highlights challenges often faced by these households (www.gu.org/OURWO R K / G r a n d f a m i l i e s. aspx).

Do something to honor your own grandparents this Grandparents Day. And if you know others who are raising their grandkids, make sure they know about the many available resources.

Ten back-to-school shopping tips that save money To your kids, shopping for new clothes, gear, and school supplies may be the only good thing about going back to school, but that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune every year. Here are 10 great ideas for how to get everything they need and save a few bucks doing it.

Hold off buying trendier gear like lunch boxes and pencil cases. Kids may love a version they find in July, but once they start school and see that their friends are all using another kind, they'll beg you to upgrade them -- and that only results in wasted cash.

Shop end-of-summer sales. You know as well as we do that kids wear short sleeve polo shirts all year long, so hit the big summer sales and snap up discounted duds that can be worn well into fall.

Stick to The List. The teacher's supply list at the start of a new school year is daunting enough so don't waste time and money on unlisted items. Extra supplies, while they may be cute, will probably never get used and just leave your pockets empty.

Head to the supermarket for basic supplies. Check weekly circulars for great deals on pens and loose-leaf paper, and get your weekly grocery shopping done at the same time. Bonus: buy-

Shop the big three. Old Navy, Gap Kids, and The Children's Place rotate merchandise often -- ask when they do their markdowns so you can grab the deals.

MT_2K4305-Cause 4/7/11 3:11you PM Also, if you see an item ing everything in one place will save time and gas money!

Let your kids raid the home-office supplies, then personalize them in unique ways. For example, decorate inexpensive plain, white binders with digital photos by creating a collage and inserting the page into the plastic outer cover.

Host a back-to-school swap. Round up a couple of other moms with kids the same gender as yours but different ages, and host an annual clothes swap. Trade toys and books, too! You'll save a bundle.

Plan lunch. When you're in charge of what your child eats, you'll save yourself money. Check the weekly circulars at your local supermarkets for sales. If turkey isn't on sale one week and ham is, go for the ham!

Buy bright. Lost school supplies may be a given, but gear that's hard to miss can stave off the inevitable. Pack all their pencils, erasers, and other goodies into a bright backpack or pencil pouch to keep them from disappearing.

bought in the past 14 days on sale later, you can get the difference refunded, you don't need the clothing, just the receipt.

Browse craigslist.org.

Page Yes,1 you can find top-quality

stuff on the cheap, but you can be a seller, too. Why not get some cash for that barely worn, now outgrown brandname outfit? Just enter your location and click on "Baby and Kids."

Diverse business relationships are an important part of an evolving community. That’s why we’re dedicated to the success and advancement of minority- and women-owned businesses. Diverse businesses not only contribute to our supply chain and business strategies, but also to the communities we serve.

From architectural and construction services to financial and legal services, minority- and women-owned businesses provide the resources needed for us to evolve together.

“Gloria: A Novel” by Kerry Young Do you know yourself well enough?

You know your height and weight. Favorite color, sense of humor, likes and dislikes, history and mysteries. Sure, you know yourself better than anybody.

Or do you? There were things that happened before you were born that you’ll never hear about, things that occurred when you were small and can’t remember, things your spouse doesn’t mention, your parents never told you, your children keep quiet. And in the new novel “Gloria” by Kerry Young, some secrets run even deeper.

His hands were rough.

Sixteen-year-old Gloria Campbell remembered that as she bashed Barrington Maxwell’s head in. She didn’t plan to kill him, but when she heard her younger sister

But when Maxwell’s body was found, fingers pointed.

Gloria knew that she and Marcia had to leave their small village and go to Kingston, where life for young Jamaican women wasn’t easy. Still, they’d manage.

After struggling with lowpaying jobs that made her skin crawl, however, Gloria came to realize that the only way they’d manage was to sell themselves to men.

She resisted it – how could Marcia even consider it? - but c.2013, Bloomsbury Sybil, the owner of the house they’d moved into, said it $17.00 / $18.00 Canada was “the only way yu going mek yuself a life that is your 389 pages own…”

Making that life was easier Marcia’s screams, she reacted with the help of Henry rashly. Maxwell was doing Wong, Gloria’s wealthy friend to Marcia what he’d done to who became wealthier by Gloria not long before. He giving the women money to run a lending service on the wouldn’t do it again.

Kingston streets. It helped, too, that Gloria fell in love with Pao, the man Henry sent to provide “protection” from deadbeats.

Pao was a married man, but he loved Gloria and couldn’t stop seeing her. She loved him through her jealousy, and felt safe with him. She couldn’t understand, though, with Pao’s history of street enforcement, why he would become friends with the new local policeman.

She couldn’t understand why the new policeman seemed to have such an interest in her…

While I generally liked “Gloria” and while I thought it was, at its core, a very fine book, I often found it to be a challenge for a couple of reasons.

Right from the outset, I

had trouble with the patois in the dialogue. Author Kerry Young adds authenticity here, and while that ended up being one of the main things I liked about the book, I had a hard time with it initially. The difficulties didn’t last long, but they bear mentioning.

The bigger issue, I think, is that the story drags sometimes. That tended to make me lose interest. For sure, I lost track of who was who because of it.

To the good, though, this book does an excellent job in taking readers to a notso-innocent time and place, politically, socially, and economically, and I liked that a lot. I think, overall, if you can bear with the bumps and savor that goodness, you may like “Gloria” well enough.
