Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) is the model that Pastors United is following to create change in the city of Milwaukee. Pastors Unit-ed is a grassroots organiza-tion comprised of clergy and laypersons who are working together on five different in-terests which were surveyed as “highest priorities” from a March 16 Pastors United luncheon held at Milwaukee Area Technical College.

The priorities compiled from the survey are: family relationships, health and well-ness (mind, body & spirit), employment, economic de-velopment and crime. These priorities are for the city of Milwaukee, the church and the community surrounding the church in order for Pas-tors United to set an agenda for what needs to be done and when.

“Bite by bite the ant will eat the elephant,” said Pas-tor Greg Lewis, President of Pastors United at the follow up strategy and plan-ning meeting held at Jerusa-lem Baptist Church located at 2505 W. Cornell Street in Milwaukee. “We shouldn’t let something hard keep us from doing something great,” he added. There is a lot of work to be done in Milwaukee and Pastor Lewis acknowledges that fact. “It is a resurrection season, our community is dead in many areas; we want to see a resurrection in many instances. We are here now to put forth strategies.”

Pastor Teresa Thomas-Boyd from Matters of the Heart said to the group, “We know there are a lot of orga-nizing models to follow, but we are presenting informa-tion and hopefully you can gain something and use it.” Pastor Thomas-Boyd spoke about power and organiza-tion power, including but not limited to economics and politics. “You start with something small, and then you can go big, you can take a big problem and cut it down into smaller pieces,” she said. “Three things we teach in organizing with power are that you have give people a sense of their own power, let people know that they can do and alter the relationships of power,” Pastor Thomas-Boyd said.

An installation ceremony was held Friday, March 15, 2013 at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., School, 3275 N. 3rd Street, for Easton C. Wright who became the 38th person to earn the distinction and title of Postmaster since the Milwaukee Post Office was established in 1835. Wright oversees 20 additional offices within the Milwaukee city limits, which includes over 1,500 employees and 760 city delivery routes delivering more than a billion pieces of mail each year to more than 490,000 addresses. He is responsible for all mail delivery, retail sales and other customer service operations and manages a yearly budget of $400 million in sales from postage and related USPS products and services. Wright served over eight years active duty in the U.S. Navy as a Seabee before beginning his postal career 18 years ago as a letter carrier at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., station. Wright is a graduate of USPS Career Management and Advanced Leadership Programs and has studied Business Management at DeVry University. Wright is a native of Milwaukee, is married, and has three children and two grandchildren. Pictured above, left to right, are: Alderman Willie C. Wade, Postmaster Easton C. Wright, his wife Bridget Wright, and principal of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School, Gregory Ogunbowale.

In the strategy meet-ing, there were small group breakout sessions on the five priority areas to discuss where to start. Elder

Community Brainstorming Conference (CBC) has been hosting meetings on the 3rd Saturday of every month for almost 30 years at St. Mat-thew CME church at 2944 N. 9th Street. On March 23 CBC hosted political candi-date’s forum for the election coming up on April 2, 2013.

In the interest of time, the invited guests had seven minutes to answer two ques-tions each. The first speaker was challenger, Marquette

University law professor Ed Fallone, who is running for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice against current Justice Pat Roggensack, whose term on the court expires this year. Due to a previous com-mitment, Justice Roggensack was unable to attend.

“The community and not just the African American community, but the whole community of our state really faces an important question and that’s why the election on April 2 is so important,” Fallone said. “It is absolutely essential when you have two

political branches that reflect the will of the majority – the agenda of the special inter-est, that the third branch (the courts) be independent and protect our constitutional rights,” said Fallone.

He addressed many of the issues that we face across the state but are of particu-lar concern to the African American community in Mil-waukee, such as same-day voter registration, probation issues, voter ID laws and re-districting laws.

Senator says minimum wage should be $22 an hour

Is Senator Elizabeth War-ren (D-Mass.) actively fight-ing for the minimum wage to increase to $22? Not quite. The Senator recently came under fire for stating that Americans would be mak-ing $22 an hour if minimum wage was directly tied into the nation's productivity in-crease. She also wants to point out that the minimum wage has had an extremely slow growth rate in the U.S. economy.

At a hearing held by the Senate's committee on Health, Education Labor and Pensions, Warren stated “With a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, what hap-pened to the other $14.75? It sure didn’t go to the worker.”

Warren’s thoughts came from a 2012 study conducted by The Center for Econom-ics and Policy Research. The study concludes that the minimum wage would have increased to $21.72 an hour

last year had it been tied into the increases seen in worker productivity—a policy that has been adopted in 1968. The study further states, even if the minimum wage got only a quarter of the pickup based on productiv-ity, it would now be $12.25.

While some are praising Warren’s arguments and sup-port her opinion, others are giving her harsh criticism, describing her as being “clue-less, out of touch” and even “delusional.”

The federal minimum wage still stands at $7.25 and is not much more in most states.

Georgia Congressman John Lewis named “Hero of History”Occurs on Anniversary of Selma-to-Montgomery March

Washingtron D.C. – Na-tional Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis has named Georgia Congressman John Lewis as a “Hero of History” for his role as a catalyst in the American Civil Rights move-ment and as a leader of the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march for voting rights.

The brief ceremony Thursday, March 7, 2012 in the Congressman’s office in the Cannon Office Building came on the 48th anniversary of the march.

“Congressman John Lewis has dedicated his life to the non-violent struggle for so-cial change in America,” Jar-vis said. “The Congressman’s story and the Civil Rights story are part of our nation’s history and culture that the National Park Service keeps alive. We recognize this part of the Civil Rights story in many places, including the Selma to Montgomery Na-tional Historic Trail. I think it is fitting to recognize Con-gressman Lewis for the his-toric part he lived.”

On March 7, 1965, civil rights marchers drawing at-tention to the need for vot-ing rights legislation were at-

tacked by state and local po-lice officials as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, an encounter that came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” Television coverage of the brutal attack, including im-ages of Lewis being beaten by police, awakened many across the country to issues of civil and voting rights and roused support for the movement.

Two weeks later, protected by a court order and fed-eral troops, Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., led 3,200 marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. By the time the march reached

Montgomery four days later, the number of marchers had swelled to 25,000. Less than five months later, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, considered by the Justice De-partment as the single most effective piece of civil rights legislation ever passed by Congress.

Jarvis and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar an-nounced the designation of the Edmund Pettus Bridge as a national historic land-mark last week. The designa-tion signifies the bridge as a nationally significant historic place possessing exceptional value in illustrating the heri-tage of the United States.

The National Historic Landmarks Program is a cooperative endeavor of government agencies, pro-fessionals, independent or-ganizations and individuals working jointly to identify and preserve America’s most important historic places. It is administered by the Na-tional Park Service on behalf of the Secretary of the In-terior. Today, approximately 2,500 historic places across the country bear this national

Super Saturday –Free tax prep and more

Two Milwaukee area residents get their taxes done at SDC Richards Street on Super Saturday.

Milwaukee area residents get their taxes filed at no charge and are able to access a wide range of other servic-es on Super Saturday.

Super Saturday is held by the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at the Social Development Commission (SDC) to bring together a wide range of pro-grams and services. The day is staged annually at SDC to make valuable services more accessible.

In addition to the free tax preparation, residents were able to get at the SDC Rich-ards Street facility a free blood pressure screening, at-tend a credit repair workshop by Greenpath, register for the American Cancer Soci-

ety Sankofa Project, and sign up for a checking or savings account for direct deposit of tax refunds. Attendees to Super Saturday were also able to enroll in public ben-efits through the City of Mil-waukee Health Department.

The free VITA tax ser-vice is available to residents whose annual household in-come is less than $56,000. Last tax season, that pro-gram filed more than 15,000 tax returns that brought back $13-million in tax refunds and credits. To learn more about the free tax program that operates through April 13, visit www.cr-sdc.org/index/Programs--Services/VITA.htm. Or call 414-963-2694.

Richmond Izard discussed the importance of knowing where to start and a purpose. “It’s said in Africa that when the sun comes up, the gazelle knows it must out-run the fastest lion, because it will be eaten and the lion knows it must out-run the fast-est gazelle or it will starve. So when the sun comes up, you better be running,” he said. “Run toward the prize with purpose,” he added. The breakout sessions and groups were divided in num-ber with specific participant interests.

Currently, a huge focus and agenda item is the Get Out The Vote campaign for the election coming up April 2. Pastors United isn’t sup-porting any particular candi-date but will be encouraging their members to vote along with encouraging support for the five priority areas for Milwaukee with further meetings.

Thank a public health hero – National Public Health Week is April 1-7

National Public Health Week is April 1-7, and it’s a great time to applaud the work of our public health heroes who dedicate them-selves to protecting and pro-moting the health of their communities.

In the mid-1800s, Dr. John Snow tracked down the cause of deadly cholera outbreaks to contaminated water and convinced local officials to remove the handle from a well’s water pump to end an outbreak. Since that time, public health heroes have continued to work tirelessly to protect the health of their communities.

There are other exam-ples of Wisconsin heroes. Gretchen Sampson, Polk County Public Health Offi-cer, was recognized nation-ally for building community partnerships, helping health departments work on gain-ing accreditation, and pro-moting professional devel-opment for the state’s public health nurses.

This year, the West Allis Health Department became the first health department in Wisconsin, and one of only 11 health departments na-tionwide, to achieve national accreditation status by dem-onstrating accountability, ef-ficiency and effectiveness,

and continuous quality im-provement.

Sandy's Standpoint By: Representative Sandy Pasch, 10th Assembly District

Recent headlines proclaim that jobless rates in the Unit-ed States are at a four-year low, and I think many of us are pleased with the direc-tion that President Obama has taken to turn around our economy. Wisconsin, how-ever, continues to seriously lag the nation and our neigh-boring states in job creation. And in parts of Milwaukee, jobless rates are near thirty percent. Our communities are hurting, and this must change.

I know that the people of Milwaukee and across our state want their elected of-ficials to work on creating family-supporting jobs and to promote economic stabil-ity for our communities. The best way to do this is by tak-ing a balanced approach, one that provides targeted relief for low-to-middle income Wisconsinites, while also making vital investments in services - such as health care, transportation, and educa-tion to help our communi-ties. I am doing just that by working on legislation that is aimed at creating family-sup-porting jobs and investing in worker-training programs.

The first piece of legisla-tion, Assembly Bill 49, would strengthen what is known as

the WISCAP Skills Enhance-ment Program. This pro-gram works to increase the incomes of low-wage work-ers by providing opportuni-ties to obtain additional skills necessary for family-sup-porting jobs. It emphasizes short-term, demand-driven, job-focused training, while also helping with child care and transportation costs.

My legislation would in-crease funding for this prov-en successful program and enable 700 more individuals to obtain better paying jobs over the next five years. Al-ready, the 153 graduates of this program who have ac-quired new jobs have an in-crease in annual income of $8,454 and have reported a fivefold increase in access to employer-sponsored health care benefits.

I am also the author of As-sembly Bill 50, a proposal that creates a work-sharing pro-gram that would lessen the impact of a business down-turn on workers, employers, and the government. Under a voluntary work-share pro-gram, the employer reduces the hours of work for all em-ployees, instead of laying-off a portion of the workforce. Workers then receive par-tial unemployment benefits

to compensate for the lost hours of work. It also allows employers to ramp up their production when business improves, thereby helping the economy recover more quickly. I am happy to report the Assembly recently passed a slightly different version of my bill on a wide bi-partisan vote.

The third jobs bill I am working on would establish a Self-Employment Assistance program. This program al-lows states to use their un-employment insurance sys-tems to help laid-off work-ers start new businesses and waive work-search require-ments for those who are working full time to establish their own small businesses. In addition, workers also are provided a weekly allowance in the same amount and du-ration as regular unemploy-ment benefits.

While these bills would as-sist all Wisconsinites, I am especially committed to the people of Milwaukee. Gov-ernor Walker's proposed budget neglects our city and harms the many ser-vices necessary to enable job growth, such as health care, education, and public trans-portation. As this legislative session moves ahead, I will

Rebuilding our Community

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

Dr. Andrew Calhoun

Coming home We are a nation that is

proud of its military, its rich heritage and its leadership on the world stage. We espe-cially appreciate the men and women who have proudly served, shown great courage under fire and true devotion to duty. Words cannot fully express the deepest admira-tion toward these men and women, who have stood the watch and defended the val-ues of the nation over the centuries.

It is more profound when considering the number of service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice, the missing-in-action, the wounded, those who endured being a POW, and those who suffered service-connected injuries. Even more moving, which words cannot fully express the feelings of the families of the fallen; they continue each day to endure the pain of losing a loved one from military service. They rightly deserve our prayers, considerations and ongoing support.

A historical viewIt goes without saying that

the US Military is what sets the nation apart from other countries and continues to make America a world leader. The current military struc-ture came into being in 1971, when President Richard Nixon signed a new law that ended the military draft as we knew it and put the selective service structure on standby. And after a two-year review the draft formally ended in January 1973. This resulted in what is called today an “all-volunteer force.”

Since its emergence, the all-volunteer force (AVF) concept has served the na-tion well in times of con-flict and during peace times. From Desert Storm, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq and count-less other missions, today’s military with all its reserves and special units continue to

maintain the watch. How-ever, it also continues to have its supporters and its critics. On one side, there has been an increase in the proficiency and professionalism of the force, the number of women serving, marital status, and educational level. On the other hand, the socioeco-nomic status of the force shows that most recruits are coming from middle and lower middle income fami-lies, people of color are over- represented, and there still remain restrictions on career options.

A grateful nation Throughout the decades,

vets have been coming home from long deployments, ex-tended periods of separa-tion, the front lines, training missions and surges. Coming home is to be a time of cel-ebration and a reunion with family and friends. Howev-er, for many, coming home means facing unemployment, homelessness, suffering from PTSD, mental illness, linger-ing health challenges, drug and alcoholic addictions.

The legacy of faithful ser-vice from the all-volunteer force has created an oppor-tunity for the nation to meet the needs of those returning

person, one vote,” estab-lished in 1964 when the Su-preme Court ruled in Reyn-olds v. Sims that legislative districts must contain equal numbers of citizens.

Several states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia, recently considered or are consider-ing measures to apportion their electoral votes by con-gressional districts in place of the winner-take-all sys-tem currently in place. Dis-cussions of these proposals have focused, not incorrectly, on the implications for the outcomes of presidential elections. But these propos-als are designed explicitly to reduce the electoral influence of citizens living in densely populated areas—precisely those areas more likely to contain larger proportions of people of color—and increase the electoral im-

portance of people living in more sparsely populated ar-eas that take up larger swaths of geography.

As Sen. Charles Carrico, who introduced the measure in the Virginia State Senate, explained, residents in rural areas “were concerned that it didn’t matter what they did, that more densely populated areas were going to outvote them.”

Under the Electoral Col-lege split-vote plans, the gerrymandering of con-gressional districts ensures that black voters in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania would have considerably less influence on the apportion-ment of the state’s electoral votes.

For instance, the 538 blog recently reported that Presi-dent Obama would have lost twelve of Ohio’s 18 electoral votes had they been appor-

Voter laws present threat to political clout for people of colorBy Cathy Cohen and Jon C. Rogowski

In a democracy, few rights are as cherished as the right to vote. Yet, in the Unit-ed States, people of color, mainly Latinos, African Americans, Asians and Na-tive Americans, are finding that the more they demon-strate their civic responsibil-ity by voting, the more obsta-cles surface that are designed to weaken the power of their votes.

Since 2008, when the na-tion elected its first African-American president, there have been numerous efforts in various states to impact ballot access. Legislatures in 19 states have tightened identification requirements for citizens who wish to vote. Many of these new laws re-quire citizens to show a state-issued form of photo ID.

The New York Univer-sity School of Law Brennan Center for Justice warned in 2006 that because identifica-tion documents are not dis-tributed equally across the population, voter-ID laws would significantly affect voter access for people of color — especially Latinos and African Americans — who possessed photo identi-fication at considerably lower rates than whites did.

That prediction became re-ality last November. A study

conducted immediately after the 2012 election surveyed a nationally representa-tive sample of 1,500 young people ages 18-29 with large oversamples of blacks and Latinos. Consistent with other national reports, the study sponsored by the Black Youth Project confirmed a high voter turnout among youth. It also determined that young people of color—especially black youth—were asked to show identification when voting at considerably higher rates than white youth were.

Even in states with no iden-tification laws, 66 percent of black youth and 55 percent of Latino youth were asked to show ID, compared with 43 percent of white youth.

When nonvoters were asked to indicate the rea-sons why they did not vote, black youth were three times as likely as white youth were (17 percent compared with 5 percent) to say that they did not vote because they lacked the proper identification documents. The study pro-vides compelling evidence that identification laws are applied inconsistently across racial groups, and appear to reduce turnout dispropor-tionately among people of color.

In the aftermath of the 2012 election, also under at-tack is the principle of “one

tioned by congressional dis-trict. Not only would this have distorted the voices of Ohio’s voters writ large (Obama received more than 100,000 votes more than Romney), but it also would have significantly weakened the influence of Ohio’s black voters. Nearly 65 percent of black residents of Ohio are concentrated in the four con-gressional districts---mostly in the Cleveland area---in which Obama won. Along with weakening the political potency of urban voters gen-erally, proposals to apportion Electoral College votes by congressional district seri-ously devalue the votes from people of color.

This tension between in-dividuals and geography is also found in the debate surrounding the current Su-preme Court case Shelby County v. Holder. At issue is Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires that states with a history of racially discriminatory vot-ing practices receive federal clearance before changing electoral laws.

In oral arguments on Feb-ruary 27, attorney Bert Rein argued on behalf of Shelby County, Alabama, that this provision is “an inappropri-ate vehicle to sort out the sovereignty of individual states.” But the sovereignty

Following Jesus on the mountain and in the valley (conclusion)

“Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” - John 20:28

Christ is Risen, He is Risen indeed! Alleluia!!!!

The resurrection of Jesus lies at the heart of the Chris-tian faith. There is absolutely no form of early Christianity known to us that does not af-firm that after Jesus’ shame-ful death God raised him to life again! Therefore for the last 2,000 years the founda-tion of Christianity has rest-ed securely on the simple yet unfathomable truth: Jesus is alive!

There’s joy that fills us when we encounter the risen Christ. The Scripture notes in John 20:28 when Jesus comes in, sees Thomas, and

addresses him, desiring him to come to Him and put his finger into the print of the nails, etc. Thomas, satisfied of the reality of the Lord’s resurrection says unto Jesus “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). In other words, Thomas was saying you are indeed the same person, my Lord and my God, and there-fore the object of my joy and adoration. When your joy is found in your relation-ship with Jesus, you have an anchor that will not shift, change or fail when you en-counter situations in life that bring despair, disappoint-ment, sadness or frustration. When you have joy in Jesus, your joy will not depend on your circumstances, but the mere fact that “the Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” (Psalm

126:3).Easter Sunday is unques-

tionably and undeniably a mountaintop experience. Je-sus’ resurrection gave valid-ity to everything He has said, taught and preached. Howev-er, after the excitement of the resurrection, believers have a responsibility to continue the work that Christ has com-missioned us to do. (John

9:4, Matthew 28:19-20). We work because of what Christ has done for us. We must let others know about the love and authority of Jesus Christ. Thus, after the resur-rection (our mountaintop ex-perience) we must continue to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, give shelter to the poor and empower those who may feel powerless. We

must share the Good News of the Gospel with a lost and dying world and with those who may be walking through their own valley experiences. The resurrection of Jesus was indeed the ultimate vic-tory and we are recipients of the blessing. How can we not share that blessing with oth-ers? This is our ministry after the resurrection!

Voter laws threat to people of color(Continued from pg. 4)

of states should not be privi-leged over the equal protec-tions constitutionally granted to individual citizens. Just as states like Ohio and Pennsyl-vania should not be allowed to weigh the votes of rural residents over votes from urban areas, neither should Alabama be excluded from provisions designed to pro-tect Alabama citizens’ vot-ing rights because Alabama’s sovereignty is judged to be

more important than their citizens’ electoral voices.

Rein is right, though, on at least one point. As he and some of the conserva-tive justices on the Court pointed out, the South is not uniquely racially discrimina-tory. Schemes to apportion Electoral College votes by congressional district, for in-stance, have been discussed mostly by states that are not required to receive fed-eral preclearance. But this is not an argument for striking down Section 5.

Indeed, any measure that limits ballot access or dilutes some group’s electoral influ-ence in any state ought to be opposed.

However, if states like South Carolina, Texas, Vir-

ginia, and others currently subject to Section 5 have their way, significant num-bers of people of color are especially likely to feel the negative consequences of new electoral laws. Keeping Section 5 in place will con-tinue to help guard against attempts to limit the influ-ence of people of color on Election Day.

10NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION, SPECIAL ELECTION AND

SAMPLE BALLOTS

April 2, 2013

OFFICE OF THE MILWAUKEE COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTION COMMISSIONERS

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE:

Notice is hereby given of a spring election to be held in the City of Milwaukee, on the 2nd day of April, 2013, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, for a referendum, if any, in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO ELECTORS

Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall state his or her name and address and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

At the spring election, where optical scan voting systems are used, the elector shall connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided and connect the arrow on the write-in line. On referendum questions, the elector shall connect the arrow next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall connect the arrow next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall touch the screen next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the elector shall touch the screen next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall touch the screen next to “no” if opposed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes time shall be allowed inside a voting booth or machine. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If the elector spoils an optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot and promptly leave the polling place.

The elector may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so the marks do not show. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the booth, insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit.

After an official touch screen ballot is cast, the elector shall leave the polling place promptly.

An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector.

The following is a sample of the official ballots:

Wards 3, 4, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 98 will have the following additional contest on their ballot:

gangs is because they need an outlet. Some youth choose to use acts of violence because they have so much built-up anger and frustration so they decide to join gangs. Other reasons the youth decide to join gangs are because they are in need for a family type of relationship and they see that the gangs give them that type of feeling like a family. That’s why I think the youth minds these days are cor-rupted. They come from broken homes and don’t re-ally have a support system.

ers may just be highly influ-enced and follow what oth-ers around them do, whether it’s music, games, etc. Then, there are others who just join a gang just to do so.

Being in a gang doesn’t make any situation better, but mainly worse. Many of our young African American youth are dying because of this. Not only does this af-fect gang members, but the community suffers as well. Neighborhoods are full of calamity, and many people who live in those neighbor-hoods suffer whatever gang acts are going on. The per-son, him or herself, can only make such a decision to join a gang or not, and there are always repercussions. The decision a person makes to-day determines their tomor-row.

The Milwaukee Times

Writers Gallery Milwaukee Times is team-ing up with Lindsay Heights "Youth SPEAK Out", a Boys & Girls Clubs program, to showcase some of the talent-ed young writers from Sha-lom High School and The Boys & Girls Club to learn their views on some of to-day's hot topics.

Kenya Quezaire

Who is my role model? I would have to say my

grandparents because they did so much to make our family strong and indepen-dent as individuals. Coming up in life, they didn’t have much and they tried their best to give anything they didn’t have as kids. My grandpar-ents had raised ten kids, three grandkids and a lot of foster kids. I thank them for sup-porting me when I needed them and being there when I needed them the most.


A lot of young men I know join gangs because it’s the next level to having a fam-ily. Some gang members are looked up to by these young men as fathers just because they don’t have one at home. They need somebody to teach them how to be a man and some mothers can’t do that at home.

What is your impression of the Milwaukee Police Department?

It all depends on how they do their job. I mean as long they are keeping people safe and not harassing anybody for any reason. My impres-sion on them is they will have to be good. I really think most of the time they can do their job a little bit better be-cause there are lot of people out here who should not be out here -- point blank.

Alexis Moore

Who is your role model and why?

My role model is myself because looking up to some-one else will not help me accomplish anything. By looking up to myself and be-lieving in myself, I can grow to be someone else’s role model. I’m also a good role model because I’m always

helping others do the right thing. I’m good with listen-ing and giving good advice. Furthermore, I am a teen mother of two who hasn’t given up and is doing well in life with my children. I show others that I care rather than just talking about how I care. This is why I am my own role model.


African Americans join gangs sometimes because of peer pressure of the people around them talking about it and not wanting to be left out so they do it as well. Or they join because their rela-tives are doing it and they are trying to be like them. Most children do what they see other older people doing, especially their family and close friends. It could also be because they had no parents in their life and that led to being out on the streets sell-ing drugs and hustling; then that led to gang violence. A lot of times when a kid’s family is messed up, they end up spending more time on the streets, and the gang be-comes like their second fam-ily. Maybe they only have a mom and she has drug prob-lems or is never around or is around too much. Maybe they have a dad that is never around or is on drugs. Some kids suffer through home life with parents who are always drunk on alcohol and they don’t really know their par-ents. So they meet older gang members that give them money and make them feel like a little brother or even like a little son.

What is your impression of the Milwaukee Police Department?

My impression of the Mil-waukee Police Department is not good because every time I tried calling them about an emergency I had or someone else had, it took them hours to respond to the call and by that time I could’ve been dead. At the same time, they are very helpful and sacrifice their lives to protect oth-ers and I respect that about them. I also like living by the police because most of the time not too much happens around the police district sta-tions, but overall they protect our city.

Khadijah Lloyd

Who is your role model and why?

My role model is my mom, because she loves helping others, she is always happy and everyday she tells me I could be something in life. Or I can be the world's great-est poet; and even if I don’t believe in myself she be-

lieves in me.

Why do African Ameri-cans youth join gangs? Maybe they are doing it to fit in or it could be because of peer-pressure. The reason I say a lot of kids/teens get peer pressured into joining a gang is because some kids don’t want to be in the gang alone so they might pres-sure their friend to do it with them. It seems too that most kids/teens tire of getting bullied so they join because their gang members will help. Or it could be that the gang is the only family they have. I say that because nowadays I see a lot of kids/teens who have any type of family be-cause most of their family doesn’t care about them. An-other reason is that most of the family members are dead so if they can’t find it from them, then most likely kids/teens are going to join a gang to be loved and feel like they are part of a family.

What can be done to re-duce the number of African American youth from drop-ping out of school? I think teachers should be more helpful and more parents could participate. If more parents were supporting their kids like they should be, then a lot of African Americans students would be in school doing what they have to do.

Bianca Brown

Why do African American youths join gangs?

African Americans today are engaged in many violent acts, more than any other race. One of the reasons young African Americans are subjected to violence linked to gangs. In my era, I know a lot of African American youth who are associated or affiliated with a gang. It is known that gang violence is one of the leading causes of deaths. One reason, I believe that the youth join gangs is because they don’t have any family.

When you are young and basically take care of your-self, you yearn for a fam-ily or people to look to and you end up finding yourself in a gang because that’s the only family you know. Oth-

Free Focus:THE PERFECT FAMILy

By Victoria Maxwell

I am seventeen years old and I am in the 10th grade. I will be graduating in 2014. I wrote a short script for my school’s (North Division Charter High School) talent show. I asked the principal could I host a separate special program for my play because it’s going to take up a lot of time. Through this play I would like to show my friends at North my writing talent.

I wrote this script because I wanted try something new. What inspired me was our school's talent show. The Per-fect Family is about a family that has a lot of secrets. The children are the ones that actually have the secrets and they try to keep them from their parents. The produc-tion of my play will be scheduled toward the end of this school year.

CHURCH By Mary Williams

My name is Mary S. Wil-liams. I am 15 years old and a current sophomore at North Division High School. I am the P.B.I.S Ambassador for my school with a grade point aver-age of 3.5. I enjoy going to church and I do attend church on a regular basis. I am a member at Canaan Baptist Church in which I am involved in a lot of activities. I praise dance, sing in the choir, and some-times help out with Sunday school. I am a committed youth and attend youth ministry on Thursdays.

I also go to to choir re-hearsals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I feel like church is an important aspect in life. It helps me get a better

relationship with God and through that I can help oth-ers gain that relationship too.

I express myself better through poems and this is why I wrote this one:

The ChurchC is for Christianity; through Christ you can do all things.H is for a humble heart; come before the throne with a humble heart and He will forgive you.U is for unity; we are one in the spirit.R is for repent; repent and God will always forgive you.C is for the covenant of God; He will never leave you.H is for home; He made it possible for you to have a home after you die.

COMMuNITy COluMNEducation

Headline: Helping adults plan for their education futuresEsmeralda Cruz was ner-

vous about making the tran-sition from Milwaukee Area Technical College to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Michael Brown wanted to complete his GED (General Education Diploma) and be-gin to turn his life around af-ter some struggles.

Both Cruz and Brown found support in reaching their goals through the fed-erally funded Educational Opportunity Center (EOC), based at UWM but serving eligible adults from all over Milwaukee County.

The center’s advisers help students set education goals, plan for the future and enroll in programs. The EOC’s ser-vices are free to low-income adults who are residents of Milwaukee County and the first in their families to go to trade or technical schools or college.Success stories

Cruz, who is now a business management major at UWM, was worried about making the transfer from MATC to the university. “I was con-cerned UWM would be very different from MATC, and I

wasn’t sure how I would do. I had stereotyped myself…that as a Latina woman and an older student I wouldn’t be able to do it. I know bet-ter now, but at the time I was concerned.”

With a daughter in third grade, Cruz was also con-cerned about balancing fam-ily needs with her academic work. “The Educational Opportunity Center helped me make that transfer from MATC to UWM.” Now she’s confident that she will earn that accounting degree so she can help her husband in their family business, and perhaps become an entrepre-neur herself.

Brown was working to overcome personal prob-lems when he discovered the EOC. “I was determined to do something to help myself and the Lord presented this opportunity.” EOC director and adviser Rita Muwonge was working at an EOC lo-cation near his home, and helped him get started on his journey to a new life.

With her help and encour-agement, he went on to earn his high school diploma and enrolled at MATC in Oak

Creek, learning the skills for a new career as a carpenter and cabinetmaker. “I’ve al-ways liked working with my hands, but before I didn’t have the education to do the measuring and drafting.”

Those success stories and others illustrate the work of the EOC, says Muwonge. “Our mission is to expand awareness about educational opportunities and postsec-ondary education options to low-income, first-gener-ation college students who

are Milwaukee County adult residents,” she adds.

The EOC works in col-laboration with MATC, the YWCA, United Migrant Op-portunity Services (UMOS), the Social Development Commission and a wide va-riety of community-based social service providers, em-ployment agencies, and other organizations.A wealth of services

EOC advisers can help adults plan for their indi-vidual career and academic

goals. They also work with potential students to select a college and handle admission and financial aid applications. The advisers can help stu-dents with study habits, time management and computer skills, and connect them with mentors and tutors.

In addition, the EOC holds workshops on resources, fi-nancial aid and transferring from two-year to four-year programs, and hosts a variety of cultural programs.

“We all know that educa-tion is an important key to advancement, but the choices are sometimes complicated, and mistakes can be expen-sive,” says Muwonge. “The college or university needs to fit an individual’s needs and financial situation. Many stu-dents we work with also have jobs and families to balance with their education. Our goal is to help them make the best decisions to meet their goals.”

For more information about the services of the EOC, call 414-229-2917 or visit the website at http://www4.uwm.edu/trio/eoc/.

Michael Brown completed his high school GED and started classes in carpentry and cabinet mak-ing at MATC’s Oak Creek campus.

The Federal Department of Labor highlights Milwaukee youth’s success storyThe U.S. Department of

Labor’s Employment & Training Administration-Division of Youth Servic-es, published a story about Johnny Elam from Mil-waukee who is thriving as a result of the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board’s (MAWIB) Civic Jus-tice Corps program. This collaborative workforce ini-tiative brings together com-munity partners to assist ju-venile offenders between the ages of 18 to 24 in getting back on track.

“The Civic Justice Corps program is an excellent ex-ample of preparing a popu-lation with significant bar-riers to employment for the future workforce,” says Don-ald Sykes, MAWIB President and CEO. “We are pleased the Department of Labor published Johnny’s story. His success demonstrates how effective collaborations can have a tremendous impact on our community.” Civic Justice Corps

The Civic Justice Corps ini-tiative gives juvenile offend-ers the opportunity demon-strate accountability for their actions and make reparations to the community by partici-pating in short-term commu-nity service projects.

The target population for the Civic Justice Corps proj-ect is juvenile offenders ages 18 to 24 who have been in-

volved with the juvenile jus-tice system within 12 months prior to entry into the pro-gram.

This program, which is currently in progress, has set a goal to provide project management and serve 96 participants.

Johnny Elam graduated from North Division High School in 2009 where he ex-celled as a basketball player for the Blue Devils. His bas-ketball skill landed him a full scholarship to attend Indiana Hills in Indiana.

A short time after gradua-tion, Johnny ended up hang-

ing out with some friends that decided to commit an armed robbery of an indi-vidual after they left a party. One of the individuals stole the car of the person they robbed and parked it not too far from his home. As a re-sult, the police captured one suspect and that individual told the names of everyone else involved including John-ny Elam. Johnny was placed at Lincoln Hills until his 18th birthday.

Despite this unfortunate setback, the recruiter from Indiana Hills had kept in con-tact with Johnny and still of-

fered the full scholarship for fall 2012. In the meantime, Johnny was enrolled into the Civic Justice Program in No-vember 2011 and was placed at Northcott Neighborhood House as a construction aide. Johnny is doing an excellent job there and per his super-visor, he sets a great example for other workers to follow.

Johnny reports to work on time every day and has had no issues. Johnny stated that he uses this opportunity to stay out of trouble while doing something productive and assisting his mother with paying some bills. He plans

to return to school in the fall. Currently, he is getting some valuable firsthand experience working at Northcott.

from service. These men and women, who answered the call, wore the uniform, stood the watch, completed the mission, deserve an op-portunity for a good job, education and quality of life. There is a need to en-sure that those who served are not forgotten, thrown to the side or used up. For, we must always remember that “freedom is not free.”

E Talking Health with Dr. Carter By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Hippocrates had it right around 300 B.C. when he advised, "Make thy food thy medicine, and thy medicine thy food." (We're slow learn-ers as a race, aren't we?) We discuss 10 superfoods. Tradi-tionally defined, these foods have exceptional properties. A grocery list follows that discussion. It features the foods most frequently rated as "super."

Please note that although there is currently an excit-ing trend toward vegetarian-ism (no flesh foods), vegan (no foods sourced from ani-mals), and raw food diets, we list foods from both dairy and meat categories.

Green grasses and algae:These food families make

it easy to pack green nutri-tion into your day. They are both available as powders, ei-ther isolated or in mixes with other nutrient dense foods. There is so much informa-tion on these foods that three Nutrition News issues exist to laud their health benefits.

Algae has been called a perfect food, one that could be used to end world hunger. We are talking about spiru-lina, chlorella, and Klamath blue-green algae. Research has shown that these foods can increase our energy and stamina, heighten mental clarity, improve our ability to handle stress, enhance im-munity, and give us a greater sense of well-being. You can easily make algae a part of your life by taking a teaspoon a day with your regular food (or a like amount, 4 grams, as tablets or capsules). I use Hawaiian spirulina powder in my daily smoothie while Mr. Khalsa prefers a handful of tablets with a glass of water in the midaftemoon.

Green grasses are the foun-dational food for most land-based life. The grasses came to light as human nutrition with the curative work of the late Ann Wigmore who orig-inally expelled wheat grass juice using a second hand meat grinder.

In 1980, barley grass came on the market. Its health benefits were discovered by Yoshihide Hagiwara, MD,

pharmacist, and researcher. These two grasses have simi-lar nutrients and benefits.

However only wheat grass is readily available as fresh juice.

Aloe vera: Known as an external ap-

plicant for burns and other skin conditions, taken inter-nally aloe vera can heal the intestines, support choles-terol management, and en-hance immunity. Amazingly, only one percent of aloe is substantive.

The remainder is water! That solid material con-tains over 75 different com-pounds, including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, lignins, salicylic acid, antioxidants, and more.

Since we can't cover all of aloe's benefits here, let's look at its use as a digestive aid. Studies at the Linus Paul-ing Institute show that six ounces of aloe juice taken 3 times daily increase protein digestion and absorption, decrease bowel putrefac-tion, and improve intestinal pH. The mucous lining of the gastrointestinal tract is soothed by aloe, reducing pain and inflammation. Food allergy relief is another ben-efit of healing the gut lining.

Incidentally, researchers have found that taking vi-tamins C and E with aloe increases the vitamins' bio-availability by over 200 per-cent. In addition, vitamin levels remain significantly higher over 24 hours. (Read Nutrition News "True Healer- Aloe Vera".)

Bee products: When we think of bees,

most of us think of honey. There is amazing news about honey. A recent issue of Women s Health Letter carried the following headline: "The Worse Your Diabetes, The More This Sweetener May Lower Your Blood Sugar". Editor-author Nan Fuchs, PhD, reports that honey helps lower blood sugar. When 48 people with type 2 diabetes ate small amounts of honey throughout the day for eight weeks, it low-

ered both their blood sugar and HbAlc. Nan referenced several studies as well as The Honey Revolution by Ron Fes-senden, MD.

Dr. Fessenden suggests 3-5 tablesppons of honey daily, taking two

tablespoons in the morning with fruit, yogurt, or cereal. Another couple tablespoons midday and one at night to help you sleep. If you have diabetes, monitor your re-sponse carefully. Nan advises that you "replace most sug-ars in your diet with honey".

In addition to honey, bees produce four substances that make our lives better: pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and bees-wax. Except for beeswax, each of these can be consid-ered a superfood.

To learn more about them, watch for Nutrition News, "Health From The Hive".

Dark chocolate: The big news about choco-

late hit in 2003 with research published by two prestigious science journals: Nature and JAMA. The article in Nature distinguished that only dark chocolate - not milk or white chocolate - raises antioxidant levels in the body. Howev-er, even drinking a glass of milk with the dark chocolate canceled its antioxidant po-tential. In the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers reported that dar chocolate had the effect of lowering blood pressure in l3 men and women with mild

hypertension.In 1996, it was scientists at

the University of California at Davis who revealed that chocolate is rich in antioxi-dants. Called phenolics, these are the same compounds that occur in red wine. Those researchers calculated that a 1.5-ounce bar of dark choc-olate contains 205 mg of phenolics, comparable to the 210 mg found in a 5-ounce glass of cabernet. A cup of hot chocolate made from 3 tablespoons of cocoa pow-der delivers 219 mg. - but make it with nonfat milk.

out and partnering with or-ganizations so that students can take advantage of those things,” she said.

Her opponent, former Alderman Angel Sanchez,

spoke about the same con-cerns she did.

“We need to do neighbor-hood clean ups and work together, we need to also in-vite people into the schools, teachers change lives,” San-chez said.

The final candidate that spoke at the forum was can-didate for the school board in District 7, Claire Zautke; her opponent David Voelt-ner was unable to attend the forum.

Claire Zautke currently works in Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele’s of-fice. She answered the same questions that the other candidates did regarding in-novation and budget con-cerns with Milwaukee Public Schools.

“We need to get the com-munity to start believing in MPS again,” Zautke said.

Overall, the political can-didate forum that was held at Community Brainstorm-ing provided the opportunity for candidates to speak about concerns, answer questions and restate their platforms for the election on April 2, 2013.

Meet the candidates(Continued from pg. 1)

The next speaker was Judge Rebecca Bradley, for Milwau-kee County Circuit Court Branch 45. She currently serves on the Children’s Court and is a Marquette graduate. Also running for Circuit Court Branch 45 is Attorney Janet Protasiewicz; she is an Assistant District Attorney. The questions posed to them were involved with their experience with di-verse populations.

Bradley is a Milwaukee native, and has spent many years in Milwaukee interact-ing with diverse communi-ties. Now that she’s on the campaign trail, as she is still serving on children’s court, she has also been reaching out to schools and visiting schoolchildren. “I currently belong to the Wisconsin Ad-visory Committee to the US Commission on Civil Rights, which has enabled me to participate in forums with diverse populations,” said Bradley.

Bradley’s opponent, Janet Protasiewicz, Assistant Dis-trict Attorney for the last 25 years, spoke about how she has really enjoyed Communi-ty Brainstorming events over the last couple of months.

“I truly believe in control-ling those non-violent crimes there has to be alternatives to

incarceration and there has to be ways that these young people are not being made felons (at 17 or 18 years old),” Protasiewicz said.

Khalif J. Rainey and Ravae S.M. Sinclair are running for Senator Nikiya Harris’ seat in District 2 of Milwaukee County, they spoke about issues of betrayal and main-taining a strong interaction with constituents.

education programs

Maximize your disabled child's government aidParents of special needs

children have enough on their plates just tending to the health, educational and emotional needs of their kids – not to mention often hav-ing to cope with drastically lowered income because of reduced work hours or hav-ing to pay someone else for childcare. So it's not sur-prising that many of these parents haven't had time to hatch a long-term financial plan in case their kids need care after they're not around.

Fortunately, many govern-ment programs and commu-nity resources are available to help relieve the financial burden of parenting special needs children. But eligibil-ity criteria are complicated and the application process time-consuming. Plus, if you're not careful, you or well-meaning relatives could

inadvertently disqualify your kids for future benefits by not structuring their inheri-tances correctly.

Here's a brief overview of key government assistance programs:

The Social Security Admin-istration provides two types of disability coverage: Sup-plemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Dis-ability Income (SSDI). Rules and eligibility requirements differ between the two pro-grams – and benefits differ for children and adults.

In a nutshell, SSI is a needs-based, cash-assistance program for disabled people of any age in low-income families with limited resourc-es. Children qualify for SSI benefits if they meet certain strict criteria outlined in SSA Publication 05-11000 (www.ssa.gov/pubs/11000.html).

SSDI is a separate program funded by payroll deductions (part of FICA). Although children sometimes receive SSDI payments if their par-ents are disabled, their eligi-bility is based on their par-ents' disability status, not on their own. However, after turning 22, already disabled children may qualify for SSDI on their own if at least one parent qualifies for So-cial Security benefits.

Eligibility rules and defini-tions for SSI and SSDI are complex. To see if your child qualifies, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213, or search the Disability and SSI tabs at www.ssa.gov. One particular-ly helpful resource is "Benefits for Children with Disabilities," SSA Publication No. 05-10026.

Many families inadvertent-ly jeopardize their disabled

child's eligibility for gov-ernment-provided benefits by opening accounts in the child's name or designating them as beneficiaries. Unfor-tunately, federal law dictates that recipients of SSI, Medic-aid and many state assistance programs will be disqualified if they have resources worth over $2,000. So, if Uncle Jerry leaves your daughter $10,000 in his will, she could lose her benefits.

One good alternative is to create a special needs trust, whose assets can be used by its trustee to manage the fi-nances and personal effects of a disabled person. Trusts are governed by state laws and should only be drafted by an attorney familiar with this area of law.

Some parents name the trust as beneficiary of life insurance policies to ensure

a source of funding if they die before their child. (Stay current on your premiums.) Other possible funding sources include cash, stocks and other investments, re-tirement plan death benefits, home sale proceeds and in-heritances from other rela-tives and friends. Just make sure that the trust –not the child – is named beneficiary.

Preparing a special needs trust can be expensive – pos-sibly several thousand dol-lars, depending on your situ-ation. But weigh that against the prospect of your child losing out on a lifetime of government-provided ben-efits because of an acciden-tal inheritance – speaking of which, be sure to let any well-meaning relatives or friends know about the trust.

How rising food costs affect black familiesPeople of color suffer disproportionately from food insecurity. What will our leaders do?

By: Edward Wyckoff Williams

Like most Americans, you may have noticed the price of chicken has risen by nearly a quarter over the past year. Fresh vegetables and pro-duce are increasingly more expensive. Feeding the aver-age family of four is taking a toll on the poor, low-income and middle-class alike. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that U.S. inflation is relatively low -- averaging 2 percent since the recession. But the overall numbers be-lie a hidden truth -- that food price inflation is expected to rise 3 to 4 percent this year alone, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Overall inflation remains low mostly because of the Federal Reserve's decision to suppress interest rates -- allowing banks to bor-row money at near zero. The theory behind this rationale, of course, is to offer cheap capital to cash-strapped con-sumers, those seeking to en-ter the housing markets and businesses looking to invest. But following the TARP pro-gram and corporate bailouts of 2008 and 2009, banks didn't lend. Unemployment skyrocketed, and wages con-tinued a 40-year trend of de-creasing. In fact, researchers at the Brookings Institute found that real earnings of working-age men (25-64) have declined 19 percent since 1970.

Furthermore, the "core inflation rate" of 2 percent, measured by the Consumer

Price Index (CPI), is a mis-leading figure, because it is often reported excluding volatile measures like food, gas and oil prices.

Much has been written about the disproportionate effect the recession has had on the African American community -- with crippling levels of unemployment -- but less attention is being paid to the empirical realities that such statistical analysis represents; in short, when people can't work, they often don't eat.

Although correlated, pov-erty and food insecurity are not the same. Unemploy-ment is the strongest predic-tor of food insecurity -- and as minority communities struggle the most in finding work, they also dispropor-tionately become victims of hunger. The USDA defines "food insecurity" as strug-gling to put food on the table and often not knowing where your next meal will come from. According to Feeding America, 25.1 percent of Af-rican American households

and 26.2 of Hispanic families were food insecure in 2011. African American house-holds with children were af-fected the most -- at 29.2 percent, compared to 20.6 percent of other U.S. house-holds with kids. Single moth-ers were the most vulnerable, at a rate of 36.8 percent of their households experienc-ing food insecurity.

So what's actually causing food price inflation? The an-swer is not so simple.

The effects of the Mid-west drought in 2012 have become undeniably apparent in the early months of 2013. The drought -- which some experts claim will worsen with climate change -- has meant that prices for corn, soybeans and other grains rose sharply.

But the truth is that gro-cery prices have been rising 2 to 3 percent each year be-tween 1990 and 2011. The U.S. government's subsidy of corn production for use in biofuels is one reason. This reduces the corn sup-ply and subsequently raises

prices. Higher oil prices are also a factor, as transporting food across the country be-comes more expensive with higher gasoline prices. Po-litical instability throughout North Africa and the Middle East has also taken its toll. And increasing affluence in emerging market nations has a measurable effect: As the

middle classes grow, peo-ple eat more meat -- grains (for animal feed) increase in value as demand increases. The problem, therefore, is circular and compounded -- meaning the drought has simply made an already tenu-ous situation worse.

“Do I Look Like an ATM?” by Sabrina LambYour child has caught some

bug that’s going around.He has a terminal case

of The Gimmes, and he’s not getting any better. It’s “Gimme that” and “Buy me this” all day long. It’s Gim-meGimmeGimme, usually accompanied by whining, pleading, and a maddening inability to understand the word “no.”

The Gimmes are enough to make any parent crazy. They make you wish there was some sort of doctor who had some sort of shot to prevent it. But there isn’t - so why not read “Do I Look Like an ATM?” by Sabrina Lamb instead?

Somewhere in your home, there lives a little beggar who can’t take “no” for an answer. He’s always got his hand out and he knows exactly how to wear you down when it

comes to money. If you had a dime for every dollar he’s asked for, you’d be rich.

So how did this happen? Sabrina Lamb says that your child was born to beg, which is a situation you need to stop. Avoiding the issue (or worse, giving in) can result in big problems now and even bigger problems in the fu-ture.

But first, the stats: mem-bers of the black community have an estimated $1.1 tril-lion dollars to spend – and yet, many report having no savings, most don’t know their credit score, and forty percent have little or nothing for retirement. Furthermore, “…African Americans tend to wield their tremendous buying power on products with little or zero monetary value.” That means rented homes, expensive vehicles,

and fancy phones take mon-ey out of your pocket but don’t put it back.

The first step to fixing that situation is by looking in-ward. Chances are that you never learned financial litera-cy and your attitudes toward wealth may be limiting your ability to understand money issues. Just giving yourself an education on finances pres-ents a good example for your kids.

Speak your financial truth and tell your child. Under-stand the difference between “need” and “want” and teach your child that looking finan-cially successful is not the same as being financially suc-cessful. Forget about keep-ing up with your neighbors. Identify your parental money style. Set your family up as a business, show your kids how to save - and then show them how to give, too.

Wow. I was so impressed at what I found inside “Do

I Look Like an ATM?” that I was uncharacteristically speechless.

When it comes to finan-cial literacy for children, so many authors take minc-ing baby-steps and waste everybody’s time, but not WorldOfMoney.org founder Sabrina Lamb. She takes a different approach that starts with parents, and she’s not gentle with her words. No, Lamb’s a little sarcastic and very in-your-face, but her boot-camp-like attitude left no doubt in my mind that what she says, works.

I like that no-nonsense talk and I think you will, too – especially if you’re seri-ous about money matters. If talking about dollars to your kids just makes sense, then “Do I Look Like An ATM?” would be a shot in the arm to your family’s finances.

Mount Mary art professors guide students to create multimedia look at Bronzeville

Exhibit at Milwaukee High School of the Arts ran through March 22Two Mount Mary art

professors worked with more than a dozen Mil-waukee High School of the Arts students for five months to cre-ate “Standing on Their Shoulders: Memories of Bronzeville,” a multi-media exhibit on the African American neigh-borhood. Through oral histories, photo collages and painted murals, the teenagers captured key elements of the historic area.

Led by Mount Mary art professors Paul Cal-houn and Brad Bernard, the students learned a variety of skills, in-cluding interviewing, writing, editing and storytelling. Most im-portantly, the students were educated about Bronzeville. According to Calhoun, none of the students, most of whom were African American,

knew anything about the neighborhood.

“The students con-ducted more than a dozen interviews with elders who lived in Bronzeville,” says Cal-houn. “They heard first-hand about segregation and what it was like at the turn of the 20th cen-tury.”

The student work fo-cuses on three aspects of Bronzeville – the im-portance of religion and jazz and African Ameri-can life during that time.

The exhibit was on dis-play at the Milwaukee High School of the Arts, 2300 W. Highland Ave., Milwaukee, through March 22.

The project is sup-ported by a grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund and Know Thyself.

GRILLING TIPS from the National Pork Boardn Grill over indirect heat. This allows the ham to heat

evenly, without burning.n Score the ham. Scoring (diagonal cuts about 1 inch

apart on the surface of the ham) not only looks moreappeal ing, but it allows both the natural juices andthe glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.

n Use an instant-read thermometer. Heat pre-cooked(or cured) ham until the internal temperature reaches140°F. Cook fresh uncooked ham until the internaltemperature reaches 145°F, followed by a 3-minuterest. When inserted into the thickest part of the meat(without touching any bone), the temperature shouldregister within a few seconds.
