RAISING THE CALL FOR JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON AND BO

A Rite of Spring: Baseball returns to Milwaukee

Tuesday, April 10, was an International Day of Justice For Trayvon Martin. Events were held across the United States and around the world including here in Milwaukee where a rally and march was held Tuesday demanding justice for Trayvon Martin, Bo Morrison and other victims of vigilante and police terror. They also called for the prosecution of Martin’s and Morrison’s killers, a halt to attacks on communities of color, the abolishment of racist vigilante laws and a civilian review board for the MPD. The rally was held in front of the Martin Luther King statue on King Drive near Walnut Street. Those gathered then marched north along King Drive to the Milwaukee 5th District Police Station on 4th and Locust streets. A number of labor organizations, community groups and activists representing African American, Latino and Gay rights groups were in attendance. (Photos by Yvonne Kemp)

TROY SPARKS (MCJ Sports Editor): “Yes, they have a realistic chance of making it, despite losing Prince Fielder.”

DAVEY NELSON (Brewers television analyst): “I believe they will make the playoffs because of their pitching. They have all of their starters back (with the exception of Fielder) and the bullpen is much better than last year.”

BCDI-Milwaukee engaged in campaign to fight obesity in African American children

The Milwaukee Affiliate of the National Black Child Development Institute (BCDI Milwaukee) is engaged in a grassroots campaign to fight obesity in African American children. Obesity affects 12.5 million children and adolescents in the United States. In the African American population, over 20% of African-American children are obese – two out of every 10! Obesity increases the chances of developing serious health conditions like Type 2 diabetes and diminishes the quality of life every child should have. BCDI Milwaukee receives funding through its National affiliate’s participation in the Healthy Nutrition and Living Initiative funded by a Wal-Mart grant. In 2011, BCDI Milwaukee participated in a pilot project with Philadelphia, PA and Greensboro, NC. The pilot’s curriculum ("My Little World" developed by Natii Wright of Baltimore, MD) is based on the current Head Start "I Am Moving, I Am Learning” model. ”My Little World” was designed for African American child care programs to promote activities that include exercise and healthy eating. For the initial pilot, BCDI Milwaukee partnered with The Next Door Foundation in Metcalfe Park. Staff received training to implement the curriculum in their classrooms. The activities were engaging, fun, and encouraged active participation from all of the children. Schnell Price-Lambert, President of Jo’s Daycare Academy, was so inspired by the “My Little World” program that she shared her thoughts with BCDI Milwaukee: while conducting her morning walk through the Academy, Schnell overheard music playing. Looking in, she was amazed at the activity and joy of the children: “I just had to call and let you know how excited our children are with this CD. They are having so much fun - we need to get the CD in all of our classrooms.” Schnell added that she wants all of her teachers trained on the curriculum as well. In October 2011, BCDI Milwaukee President Wanda Montgomery was invited to share the pilot’s success at the National conference in Nashville, TN. Wal-Mart representatives attended and, during the presentation, made a commitment to increase funding and add two additional cities (Atlanta, GA and Ft. Lauderdale, FL). Wal-Mart will also work on securing multi-year funding for this important project. With this increased funding, BCDI Milwaukee has been able to expand im(continued on page 5)

Milwaukee was once a vibrant industrial city, offering manufacturing jobs that paid livable wages to families in the central city and beyond. The likes of A. O. Smith, Harnischfeger, Kehr’s Candies, DRS Technologies, Eaton Corporation, Wisconsin & Southern Railroad, Perlick Corporation, Geiser’s Potato Chip Company, Tower Automotive, and Cutler-Hammer called Milwaukee’s central city home—serving as beacons of hope, jobs and stability. At its peak, the industrial land owned by A. O. Smith alone employed some 8,000 workers. But, as those jobs left, the neighborhood declined. Communities became blighted as massive, empty factories stood vacant, and homeowners—left without these jobs, either fled the city or were no longer able to sustain the properties because of joblessness. The Corridor has worked hard to put the “neighbor” back into the hood. The 30th Street Industrial Corridor project area boundaries are W. Hampton Avenue south to W. Highland Boulevard, N. 27th Street west to N. 35th Street. The 30th Street Industrial Corridor Corporation was first conceptualized in 1989 by the Sherman Park Community Association and the business community to address concerns

about the loss of companies and jobs in the area, as well as concerns about the remaining companies’ ability to attract a talented pool of workers. The organization (then known b y the acronym ICC) was officially incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1991. In 2005, the ICC worked with businesses in the Corridor to create a Business Improvement District for the area. In 2008, the ICC rebranded itself as The Corridor with the tagline Industrial Roots - Progressive Future to capture the area's rich manufacturing history and the future redevelopment and business growth opportunities that exist. The Corridor has successfully rebranded itself and been able to secure funding to improve the neighborhood through programs such as Streetscaping and banners, established a Safety & Security Project Grant to assist

BID businesses with safety and security initiatives that will have a positive impact on their business and the surrounding neighborhood, and instituted a Graffiti Abatement Program where property owners may have graffiti removed at no charge. In 2009, the City of Milwaukee took title to the former Tower Automotive plant property to begin assessment, cleanup and redevelopment of this large piece of land. The result of these activities will be a business park owned by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee (RACM). This new development will increase the tax base and provide additional employment opportunities. It is also anticipated that the new development will further the City of Milwaukee’s job creation, redevelopment, and reinvestment goals in the 30th Street Industrial Corridor.

Time To Revive National Civil Rights Commission GUEST COMMENTARY

Prosecutors in the Trayvon Martin case — Trayvon was the young African American By Rev. Jesse shot to death on the streets in Sanford, Fla., by a self-appointed community watch volunteer — have decided not to send the case to the grand jury, even while announcing the investigation continues. Meanwhile, according to statistics compiled by Kali Akuno and Arlene Eisen on behalf of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, the Black Left Unity Network and the US Human Rights Network, police or private security people have slain 17 other African Americans since Trayvon’s death. Across the country, people are questioning the promise of “liberty and justice for all.” Fundamental questions need to be answered about “stand and defend laws” — more accurately, “free pass for murder laws” — about racially skewed school-discipline practices (Trayvon had been suspended and was visiting his father when he was shot); about a criminal justice system still rife with bias, and about the dangers of “walking while black” in America. The man who shot Trayvon needs to be tried in court. But these broader issues require independent, forceful investigation. So where is the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights? Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican president, created the bipartisan commission in 1957 to investigate the facts and issue credible reports on progress or challenges in our civil rights laws and practices. It was, as early director Theodore Hesburgh stated, to be the “conscience of the nation” on our progress in civil rights. In the 1960s, for example, hard-hitting, authoritative commission reports on voter suppression in Montgomery, Ala.; school desegregation in Nashville, and housing discrimination in New York, Chicago and Atlanta helped lay the foundation for the Civil Rights Acts of 1960 and 1964, the Voting

Rights Act of 1965 and Fair Housing Law of 1968. Today, the need for a reL. Jackson, Sr. vived commission is apparent. The commission should be investigating school-discipline policies and our biased criminal justice system. We need a clear look at the apparently coordinated effort of Republican governors to erect barriers to registration and voting that have a disproportionate effect on the young, the poor, the elderly and minorities. The apparently racially skewed efforts to direct AfricanAmerican and Latino homebuyers into exotic, subprime mortgages needs to be probed as well. Yet the commission thus far has been largely absent without leave. This isn’t an accident. Under Reagan, conservatives began to cut away at the commission, reducing its budget and staff. In theory, the eight-member commission is bipartisan, with no party having more than four members. Then, under George Bush, two Republican activists changed their registration to “independent,” enabling conservatives to hold six seats on the commission, rendering it less useful. By 2011, Wade Henderson, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, issued a report concluding that the commission was “so debilitated as to be considered moribund.” Now that President Barack Obama has named three members to the commission, including the chair, Martin Castro, it is time to revitalize the body. The rights of women, gays and immigrants are battlegrounds. African Americans continue to experience disparate treatment in the workplace, the schools and on the streets. An aggressive commission can provide a voice of justice, a ray of hope. Where is the “conscience of the nation” on racial justice when we need it?

How ALEC is creating more Trayvon Martin tragedies

By John Nichols

Wisconsin is a rod-and-gun state, with a hunting history that has fostered traditions of broad gun ownership and respect for the right to bear arms. So how did Wisconsin get saddled with a “Castle Doctrine” law that mirrors some of the worst aspects of the Florida legislation that's now at the center of the controversy over the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin? Not because sportsmen and women, law enforcement officers, legal scholars or grassroots citizens decided Wisconsin should borrow bad ideas from distant states. Wisconsin has a "Castle Doctrine" law because the American Legislative Exchange Council, the corporate-funded group that aligns special-interest organizations and corporate donors with pliable legislators, made the Florida law "model legislation." Then ALEC-aligned political insiders such as Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder, a national ALEC task-force member, and Governor Scott Walker, an ALEC alumnus, introduced, passed and signed “Castle Doctrine” legislation -- despite warnings from Wisconsin law enforcement leaders and responsible gun owners that it was a poor fit for the state. How poor a fit became evident last week, when the district attorney in Wisconsin's Washington County announced that he would not pursue a serious inquiry into the death of Bo Morrison, a 20-year-old Wisconsinite who was shot and killed in the village of Slinger. Morrison, who had been at an underage drinking party that was broken up by the police was one of a number of young people who ran and hid in the surrounding neighborhood. He was hiding on the porch of an adjacent home when the homeowner -- who knew police were in the area -- shot him in the chest. The DA determined that the homeowner was protected from prosecution by the state's new "Castle Doctrine." The Wisconsin case is complicated, and no one has suggested that Morrison was a perfect player. But he was unarmed. And there is no evidence that he physically or verbally threatened the shooter. For that reason, the decision of the DA, and the narrowing of options for a proper investigation by the "Castle Doctrine, has provoked outrage from citizens and some legislators. State Representative Chris Taylor, a Madison Democrat and a lawyer who was outspoken in her opposition to the measure last year, now says: “It is heartbreaking that the legislature allowed this reckless law to go forward and now a young man is dead,” concluded Taylor. “This law encourages people to resort to vigilantism and use deadly force instead of calling the police. This is a barbaric law that must be immediately repealed.” But how did the legislature enact a measure that is so out-of-synch with the state's traditionally well-reasoned approach to gun rights, self-defense protections and the rule of law? Wisconsin is like many states that find themselves with laws owing more to the heavy hand of the American Legislative Exchange Council -- and the determined lobbying of the National Rifle Association -- than to realities on the ground of the concerns of citizens. The genesis for the Wisconsin law was a 2005 Florida law, which provided immunity to individuals who use deadly force against unarmed persons who they imagine to be threatening. The Wisconsin law provides that immunity for shootings that take place on or around dwellings, businesses and vehicles, while the Florida law in-

cludes broader "stand your ground" language that protects shootings in public spaces. But the distinction is slimmer than it seems, as Wisconsin statutes extend the definition of a "dwelling" out to porches, fence lines and sidewalks. Florida's law was sponsored by Republican legislators who were ALEC members. They dismissed explicit and repeated warnings that this measure would encourage shootings like that of Trayvon Martin. The same went for Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who signed the measure and declared it a “common sense” reform. While the ink was still drying on the Florida law, ALEC moved to take it nationwide. Working with NRA lobbyists and representatives of big retailers that profit from gun sales, ALEC's "Criminal Justice Task Force" (now the "Public Safety and Elections Task Force") developed "Castle Doctrine" model legislation for promotion in other states. For the most part, ALEC’s model legislation is designed to ease taxes and regulations for corporations, while weakening unions and undermining tort laws. But the shadowy Koch brothers-funded network -- which brings together state legislators who cannot think for themselves with corporate interests and pressure groups that are more than happy to think for them -- dabbles in electoral and public safety issues. That's what happened seven years ago, when ALEC's members approved model legislation that mirrored the Florida law’s assertion that a gunman can use "deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary." ALEC-aligned lawmakers in states across the country began promoting the model legislation -- sometimes in mirror form, sometimes with modest alterations -- advanced. After Republicans gained complete control of state legislatures in states such as Wisconsin after the 2010 elections, the process accelerated. According to the Center for Media and Democracy, which organized the ALEC Exposed project, “Since becoming an ALEC model, sixteen states have passed laws that contain provisions identical or similar to (Florida's law)." ALEC even highlighted the fight on its "legislative scorecard” -- giving states extra credit for passing it. Wisconsin did so last fall, when Assembly Majority Leader Suder and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald moved a "Castle Doctrine" bill to the top of the legislative agenda. Suder and Fitzgerald, of course, deny they are ALEC automatons. But Suder has for a number of years been a member of the ALEC Public Safety and Elections Task Force that has taken the lead in promoting the "Castle Doctrine" model legislation. He has also served as ALEC's legislative chairman for Wisconsin. Fitzgerald has been a regular as national ALEC events and went out of his way as he assumed the majority leader position to talk up his enthusiasm for legislative initiatives he learned about at the group's post-2010 election conference in Washington. Suder, Fitzgerald and Walker advanced the ALEC model legislation in Wisconsin even though the state has a strong tradition of respecting "self-defense" claims in shooting cases, and even though the State Bar of Wisconsin's Criminal Law Section argued that new legislation was unnecessary to protect homeowners from unfair prosecutions. Indeed, Marquette Law School Professor Gregory O’Meara, a former chairman of the Criminal Law Section, warned with regard to the "Castle Doctrine" proposal that: “It could actually (continued on page 5)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Reader calls for end to practice of racial profiling by the Milwaukee Police Department

To The Editor: Under the direction of Police Chief Edward Flynn, the City of Milwaukee Police Department from approximately July 2008 to the present has engaged in the practice of racial profiling African-Americans and Latino-Americans especially male drivers under the chief’s “Traffic Stop Program”. “Traffic Stop” is Racial Profiling, which is illegal! On any major street African-Americans are stopped 7 times to 1 of white drivers & Latino-Americans are stopped 5 to 1for no other reason than driving while Black or Latino (reference MJS 12/5/11 article & study). African & Latino-American male pedestrians are victims of racial profiling also, for no other reason than “walking while Black or Latino”. Chief Flynn has blatantly disregarded the human and civil rights of African & Latino-American citizens in Milwaukee; I am surprised more wrong-doing has not been uncovered. One illegal sanctioned practice gave Milwaukee police officers carte blanch to do other illegal criminal activity i.e., strip & body cavity searches on our streets. It is my opinion that, Racial Profiling led to MPD’s abuse of power and criminal activity. Racial Profiling led to the murder of Trayvon Martin! To adequately deal with rogue officers, we must first address the Chief’s illegal policies and practices that promote such activity. Many in the community hold the chief accountable for implementing and continuing the illegal racial profiling “traffic stop program.” The Mayor and Common Council should be held responsible for supporting and in most cases defending this illegal practice. Milwaukee must stop Racial Profiling immediately!--Brenda Bell-White

“Summer Youth Jobs A Priority”

To The Editor: The Milwaukee Community Journal, like many Milwaukee area residents, is focusing on the need for jobs, job creation and the high rate of unemployment, especially in the black community. With more than 50% of working age black male’s age’s 14 – 64 unemployed, it is not hard to see why there are so many quality of life disparities and debilitating poverty in the black community. As noted in previous articles, there are both public and private sector efforts underway to reduce unemployment, but with the number of people needing jobs and the slow economic recovery, lowering unemployment will not be quick or easy. However, as we work diligently to reduce joblessness for adults, there is one thing we can do immediately. With a community wide effort, we can rally support for Mayor Tom Barrett’s Earn and Learn Summer Youth Jobs Initiative. The Earn and Learn Program has several components: community work experience, summer youth internships and private sector job connections. Each year the Mayor augments public money with contributions from the corporate community to fund summer youth jobs and work experiences. Last year the program employed 2,400 youth during the 6 – 8 week summer program. This year the Earn and Learn Fund Corporate Lead Team will consist of: Giacomo Fallucca, President & CEO | Palermo Village, Inc.; Paul Jones, President & CEO | A.O. Smith; Mark Sabljak, Publisher | The Business Journal; and Don Smiley, President & CEO | Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. Corporations should be commended for their support and contributions to the program, but we need additional summer jobs so more youth can use their energy earning money productively and developing work habits at an early age. In order to increase summer youth jobs, we need all sectors of the community to pitch in and help. If churches, small businesses, fraternities/sororities, nonprofits, civic groups and individuals make donations, collectively we could significantly increase the number of youth jobs this summer. Mayor Barrett has established a youth jobs fund and tax deductible contributions can be made to the address below. Providing more summer youth jobs will not solve the unemployment crisis and we must keep focus on getting our adults back to work. However, in the short-term, increasing summer youth jobs is something we as a community can do right now. In addition, an investment in youth jobs will pay dividends in the future. When these young people become adults, they will have a better understanding of the real world of work and the value of having a job.

Teacher fired over Trayvon fundraiser Article courtesy of the Associated Press and The Rundown

A teacher fired from a Michigan middle school after encouraging students to raise money for the family of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin said Tuesday she is confused by the dismissal and wants the school's administration to explain. Brooke Harris was dismissed in March from Pontiac Academy for Excellence after she supported students' efforts to plan a wear-ahoodie-to-school day. Martin was wearing a hoodie Feb. 26 when he was shot to death by a neighborhood watch volunteer. A number of groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., have called for Harris to be reinstated. "I'm really confused why I got fired," Harris told The Associated Press. "I don't think I did anything wrong." According to the SPLC, a national civil rights group, Harris' eighthgrade journalism students asked her about the death of Martin, 17, who

was unarmed when he was shot in Sanford, Fla. No charges have been filed. Harris gave the students an editorial-writing assignment on the shooting. But the students wanted to raise money for Martin's family and asked the school's administrators if they could each pay $1 to wear hoodies instead of school uniforms for a day, the group said. “It said the school regularly has fundraisers in which students are allowed to "dress down." The 26-year-old English teacher said she approached school administrators "through the chain of command" but that Superintendent Jacqueline Cassell said the project could not go forward. Harris said she was in the process of explaining this decision to the students when she was called for a meeting with Cassell. The superintendent suspended Harris for encouraging the students and then fired her after she showed up at the school to drop off prizes for students when she had been told to stay away, the SPLC said.

YOUTH&EDUCATION To Ensure a Bright Future, Your Teen Needs to be Reading Author Offers Tips for Getting Adolescents to Turn the Page

Being able to read well is more important than ever for young adults to achieve economic success. But more than 60 percent of middle and high school students score below “proficient” in reading achievement, according to a December 2011 report by the Alliance for Excellent Education. “Teen literacy is a huge problem in the United States – its 15-year-olds rank 14th among developed nations in reading – behind Poland, Estonia and Iceland,” says Rhiannon Paille, 27, an advocate for teen literacy whose new fantasy novel, Flame of Surrender (www.yafantasyauthor.com) targets young adults. (South Korea, Finland and Canada rank 1st, 2nd and 3rd.) “Kids need strong reading skills if they hope to graduate from high school AND they really need to plan for college – 59 percent of U.S. jobs today require some postsecondary education, compared to 28 percent in 1973.” The best thing parents can do to help boost their 12- to 18-year-olds’ literacy is to get them reading – anything. She offers these suggestions: • Buy them comic books. Boys persistently lag behind girls in reading, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, Paille says. If your son isn’t a reader, try getting him hooked on comic books. “Stephen King started off reading comics, ‘Tales from the Crypt.’ Hey, if it was good enough for him …!’’ From comic books, they may move into graphic novels, a popular young adult genre. As long as they’re reading, they’re building comprehension skills and vocabulary, so it needn’t be “War and Peace.” • Look for book-to-film novels. Chances are, if it was a great movie, they saw it, and that’s often enough to get a non-reader curious. This is another especially good hook for boys, Paille says. • Tune into what they’re interested in. What kinds of video games do they play? Some popular games have spawned novels, including Halo, EverQuest, ElfQuest and Gears of War. Even gaming guides, which players read to unlock new clues to advancing in the game, can motivate a teen to crack a book. • Read the same book your teen is reading. Book clubs are popular be-

cause people like talking to others who’ve read the same book. Your teen may not be ready for an evening of petit fours and grape juice while discussing the pacing of “Hunger Games,” but it can make for some interesting conversation on the way to soccer practice. And you can always nudge them along with comments like, “Oh, you haven’t gotten to that part yet? It’s really good!” “People tend to think their young adults aren’t reading if they’re not reading novels,” Paille says. “But novels aren’t for everyone, and whether it’s a comic book or a gaming guide, all reading helps build comprehension skills and vocabulary.” Good magazines, with shorter articles suited for distractible adolescents, might include Sports Illustrated, People, Seventeen or Mad. “When you’re out shopping, think about what they’re interested in and pick up something just for them. Sometimes, it’s as simple as putting the right reading materials right into their hands.”

Why take your kids on a camping trip? “I do it because it’s the best way I’ve found to reconnect with my kids.” – Rue Mapp, Founder, OutdoorAfro.com Rue Mapp of Oakland knows from personal experience that camping can be the most affordable way to spend a week or even a weekend away from home. But that’s not why she does it. “I do it because it’s the best way I’ve found to connect with my kids,” she said, adding, “When was the last time you had a conversation with your children that wasn’t interrupted by a phone call or text message?” But by taking her children to remote places, often in areas with little or no cellphone coverage, Mapp finds she can hold lengthy conversations with her children without interruptions from text messages or phone calls. And when she involves her children in outdoor activities, such as hiking or swimming or climbing over boulders, everyday tensions, worries about school or work, disappear, and family can connect with each in ways they can never achieve at home. “Being in nature, we unplug,” Mapp says. “We’re able to connect and interact with each other in ways we don’t get to a chance to do in our busy, daily lives. We can take our time. “We can watch a sunset together, we can feel the warmth of a campfire and share a sense of wonder with one another as we look at the night sky.” Camping and being in nature is also a wonderful way to find peace. “There’s nothing like sitting on the edge of a riverbank and listening to the sound of the water moving over the rocks,” Mapp said, “or hearing the wind blow through the trees while squirrels, birds and chipmunks come out to greet us.” Mapp also finds that these precious moments of quality family time with her children or peace in nature are moments she can take back home with her after the camping trip has ended. “I find that in my daily life, I can call up those images, those experiences of peace, and it can really help to inform my daily life in a very positive and calming way.” Mapp’s best childhood memories, in fact, are camping trips. She still vividly remembers a leadership development camping trip she took twenty something years ago when she was a teenager. “I felt this incredible feeling of independence,” she said. “It was the

first time in my life that I could experience the world on my own terms. It helped give me a sense of who I am.” Camping, of course, is also a gateway to many healthy outdoor activities that can help improve everyone’s health. “We’re facing a crisis of diabetes, heart disease and obesity in this country, particularly in the African American community,” Mapp said. And while camping in itself won’t cure these ills, it is a powerful way for people to decompress and get in tune with their minds and bodies in ways they can never achieve back home. “Camping, and all of the activities that go with it, is something you can never replicate in a gym,” Mapp said. “A treadmill or stairmaster is never going to be a replacement for a brisk hike and the benefits you get for your mind and body. Camping and being in nature also tends to bring out the best in people, she said. “You go to any campground,” she said, “and it’s like going back in time. “People are friendly. They talk to each other and interact with one another in ways they don’t do even in their own neighborhoods back home. You see random acts of kindness we don’t even see enough closer to home.” Mapp remembers pulling into a campground late one night and having trouble getting her tent set up. “I’ll never forget, there was a couple that came out of their tent and helped us get our tent set up. They gave us a hand. That small act of kindness was such a neat experience.” Camping, in sum, is not only a way to improve one’s health and family relationships. “It also can be a way to restore your faith in humanity,” Mapp said.

Center for Leadership Development for the past two years. This youth development organization goes beyond supplementing academics and focuses on the whole child. “We are helping African American youth to build up their self-esteem and confidence so they can succeed despite their current situation,” says Fields. “We have to help them to have hope; to dream and to accomplish their goals.” The MCLD is preparing to celebrate the completion of the first class of its Executive Youth Leadership Training program on April 26, 2012. Over the course of the 13 weeks, the youth leaders have learned about leadership characteristics, networking, public speaking, study skills, choices and consequences, positive behaviors, time management and much more. Representative Fields has participated in several of these sessions and continues to work with his mentee, Harvey Buckner. His professional commitment is highlighted by his personal dedication to the young people of the city of Milwaukee. “Mr. Fields has been very helpful in helping me make connections and talking to me about my career choice. I hope to be an elected official one day and I never thought I would have the opportunity to be mentored by an actual politician so early in life,” says Harvey Buckner. Under the leadership of Representative Fields, the MCLD hopes to bring more support and attention to the great work that is happening at the organization. “We have had a lot of discourse about educational reform; however, there is also a need to change the mindset of the youth. They have to know they can accomplish their dreams and we have to build up their confidence. We have to help them to understand that their present situation does not dictate their future. They are in control and what happens in the future is up to them,” says Fields. For more information about the MCLD and its programs, please visit www.milwcld.eylt.php.

Are Bucks surging and Brewers...slipping?!?

S.O.S. SPARKS ON

Usually in April, there are two things to pay attention to as sports fans until the end of the month: the beginning of the major league baseball season and the end of the NBA regular season. The Milwaukee Brewers began their quest for another division title and the Milwaukee Bucks are in the hunt for the final spot of the playoffs. The Brewers lost on Opening Day, April 6, but the fans didn’t care. They just wanted to soak in the excitement. The Crew won the second of the three-game series, April 7, against the St. Louis Cardinals and lost the season-opening series on Easter Sunday. An amazing thing happened to the Bucks that same weekend in their back-to-back home games, April 6-7. They beat the Charlotte Bobcats and Portland Trailblazers to reach the .500 mark at 28-28. “We had a chance to get to .500 in Detroit (Feb. 3) and stumbled badly,� Bucks coach Scott Skiles said before the Portland game. “It has nothing to do with the record. It has to do with the playoff hunt and they’re not out of it. So it’s a big game for both teams.� The Blazers have to catch the Houston Rockets, who didn’t play last Saturday. Their 116-94 loss to the Bucks at the Bradley Center left them with a 27-30 record. They took a step backwards on the Rockets, who were 29-25, to end the week of April 1. We’re not worried about the Blazers. We want to catch the New York Knicks, who also didn’t play last Saturday. They were 28-27, so the Bucks gained half a game on them. The pivotal game with the Knicks will take place at the BC on April 11 in the middle of a crucial week of home games thrown in with a road game at Detroit, April 13. The Bucks won all four of their games the first week of April, which also included wins at Washington and at home against Cleveland. The Oklahoma City game, April 9, at the beginning of the week and the Indiana game at home on April 14 to end the six-game homestand should give the club an outlook of the odds of making the postseason when it’s said and done. “When you’re on the outside looking in, which is where we are right now, we’re dependent on our own performance, obviously, to win games,� Skiles said. “But if we win every game, New York wins every game and Philly wins every game, we’re not getting in. That’s the nature of it, which couldn’t happen because we play those teams. We’ve got to win the games.� It was important for the Bucks to get a good start in the game against Portland to establish some control. To sum it all up, they led 33-31 after a quarter. At halftime, they trailed 63-54. Reserve forward Larry Sanders had a monster second half with his high energy and 14 points off the bench and

guard Beno Udrih’s 21 points, which tied for the game-high with Brandon Jennings and Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge, helped the Bucks run away with the 22-point win. “We outrebounded them and we moved the ball well in the second half,� Udrih said. “With better defense comes some easy layups on the fast break. That’s what helped us get a win.� The Bucks had an 18-10 advantage in fast break points. With 10 games remaining in the regular season, four are against teams with losing records (Detroit, Washington, New Jersey and Toronto). The other six (Oklahoma City, New York, Indiana (home and away), Philadelphia and Boston will determine if they make it into the month of May and the playoffs or stay home. The sense of urgency for the Bucks to get into playoff mode where every game counts from here on out is now. As for the Brewers, they had sellouts in each of their two home games so far, totaling 88,170, but where were the fans on Easter Sunday? Maybe they had better things to do on that day. There were plenty of empty seats in the upper deck and only 33,211 people at Miller Park, bringing the total attendance for the three games to 121,381. With the payroll reaching $100 million plus, the Brewers should have enough talent to win the NL Central again. Some media experts put the Crew behind the Reds and Cards. Adding an extra wild card team in each league in a one game format should motivate them to keep playing into October and possibility November. Yovani Gallardo got the ball on Opening Day. St. Louis chased him out of the game on their way to an 115 win. Starting pitcher Zack Grienke, Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks helped the Crew beat the Cards 6-0 in the second game of the series. The Redbirds sent pitcher Randy Wolf to an early shower in the series finale. He gave up nine hits and three runs with seven strikeouts in the 9-3 loss. “You look to have a 1-2-3 inning and it just didn’t happen,� Wolf said. “Every inning was a battle. (The Cardinals) put a lot of really good at-bats together. Right now, they’re swinging the bat really well.� By the ninth inning, you could hear a pin drop. It was that quiet during that stretch when the Cardinals slapped the ball all over the park with 14 hits to take two out of three and outscore the Crew, 20-14. The Brewers will have to work out their problems on the road at Chicago and Atlanta. And when they come back, they will have the crowd behind them and lots of chances in their nine-game homestand, the longest of the year, to establish a team identity by the Memorial Day weekend.
