Spring Primary brings some interesting results
Chantia Lewis
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Mayor Tom Barrett
Chevy Johnson
Milele Coggs
On Tuesday, April 5, 2016 Wisconsin turned out in record numbers to help narrow down the field of presidential hopefuls in the 2016 primary election. Not only was the turnout a record breaker but the results of the elections were also as record breaking. In the past Wisconsinites have favored the front runners for the two parties. In this case that would have been Donald Trump for the Republican party and Hilliary Clinton for the Democratic party. However, for the first time in recent his-
tory the majority of Wisconsin votes went to their opponents, Sen. Ted Cruz for the Republican party and Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic party. Both candidates gained a stronger shot at their respected party's nominations for president and made their opponents work that much hard to secure the reining votes before their conventions this summer. This spring election was not only for narrowing down the presidential field but also finalizing votes in other highly contested local races.
In the race for Milwaukee Mayor, incumbent Tom Barrett beat out Alderman Robert (Bob) Donovan with 70 percent of the vote. Donovan, who was also campaigning to keep his aldermanic district 8 seat narrowly beat out his challenger Justin Bielinski. The heated County Executive race between incumbent Chris Abele and challenger Chris Larson ended with a win for Abele at 56 percent of the vote. State Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley was
elected to a 10-year term Tuesday, overcoming a challenge from Appeals Court Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg and keeping the job Gov. Scott Walker appointed her to last fall. Other races included: ♦ = Winner Milwaukee Circuit Court Branch #31 - Hannah Dugan 65% ♦ - Paul Rifelj 35% Milwaukee Circuit Court Branch #45 - Jean Marie Kies 50% - Michelle Havas 50% (Tied Race)
Milwaukee County Supervisor #5 - Marcelia Nicholson 64% ♦ - Michael Glabere 36% Milwaukee County Supervisor #7 - Michael Mayo Sr. (I) 68% ♦ - Valerie Sauve 32% Milwaukee County Supervisor #8 - David Saton 56% ♦ - Tony Bloom 44% Milwaukee County Supervisor #9 - Steve Taylor (I) 60% ♦ - Patti Logsdon 40%
Play Ball! The Milwaukee Brewers home opener features local baseball legend
Photo by Yvonne Kemp
On Monday, April 4, 2016 the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball team held their official 2016 Opening Day festivities, along with the first tailgate of the season and a game against the San Francisco Giants. The team hosted a raffle to support local nonprofit organizations, and got to show-off their 2016 roster that included 15 new team members this season. The highlight of the game was the opening pitch which was thrown by Milwaukee's own James Beckum. Beckum is a former semi-pro baseball player who barnstormed in the days of the Negro Leagues and helped form the Beckum-Stapleton Little League. Founded in 1964, the Beckum-Stapleton Little League has provided more than 10,000 children the chance to play organized baseball. It is the longest existing African American Little League in the United States. Pictured at the game (from left) are James Beckum and Brewers closing pitcher Jeremy Jeffress. On a down note the Brewers lost to the Giants 12 - 3. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

SDC unveils new building, website and logo The Social Development Commission (SDC) is settling into its new location at 1730 W. North Ave. VITA, the free voluntary tax preparation program, will continue to be offered at the Richards Street location until the completion of that program on April 18. In conjunction with the agency’s move into a new facility, SDC has unveiled new branding, a newly redesigned website and a new tagline.

to start changing the present statistical documentation. The St. Ann’s Center is located at 2450 W. North Ave. Before the Blood Center will assign a date to hold a blood drive, the organization requires a minimum of 30 volunteers signed up ahead of time. In order to “sweeten the sting,” St. Ann’s will offer
a variety of refreshments and finger foods provided by St. Ann’s head chef Dana. Ms. Gray said she is hopeful that Milwaukee residents will help St. Ann’s begin to improve the present level of blood donation by African Americans. For additional questions contact Gray at wgray@stanncenter.org.

Northwestern Mutual building takes a big step closer to completion
Photo by Steve Waring
Dontarrion Brown (left) and Kenneth Egana install the glass and aluminum curtain was that will form the exterior of the 32-story Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons building. The majority of the workers are Milwaukee residents certified through the city’s Residents Preference Program and trained by WRTP/Big Step. Nearly four dozen workers are using the former Tower Automotive/Talgo high-speed train manufacturing facility on North 27th St. The workers put in 10-hour days Monday - Thursday, and eight-hour shifts on Friday and Saturday. Their work counts toward union apprenticeship accreditation, so the workers will have an excellent opportunity to continue to put their newly learned building and trade skills to work on other major construction projects planned for downtown Milwaukee.

Rebuilding Our Community
Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times
Pardon the interruption The rebuilding and sustaining of communities continues to be an ongoing battle for those living within those neighborhoods. The once promising neighborhood in which we chose to move into has since changed and many of those changes over time have been hard to bear. Neighborhoods that were seen as a sign of growth, prosperity and stability have all turned into virtual waste lands of boarded up homes, empty lots and untended yards. The decline of many of these communities have also included losing those good neighbors and stable families that made the neighborhood such a safe and special place.
The change we seek and the change we so desperately need is all possible. This effort requires that people living in those neighborhoods come together and organize for the sake of the community. This too is an ongoing struggle and it depends on whether or not people have a shared vision and passion to become involved. Getting residents together for the good of the entire community is always a positive step to ensure the neighborhood can be rebuilt and sustained. For all neighborhoods are a reflection of the people who live in that community. The one thing residents who live in these depressed communities need is support
from many sources. This includes agencies whose mission/vision is to help residents deal with changing conditions, glaring issues and who stand ready to serve. These residents also need the help and resources from the city and county governments to ensure that streets are maintained, street lights are working, law enforcement responds quickly when need-
ed; and fire service, health clinics, grocery stores, livable wage employment, public transportation, and quality schools are available and accessible. Most residents really appreciate when others outside their community come to assist, attend block clubs meetings and especially those who are willing to listen to their concerns. To many of them it helps to not feel as though they are trapped in declining neighborhoods with no one caring about what is happening to them. Regardless of what we believe about those living in urban America along the edges of society, all residents want people to not forget they are still a part of

Mind your own business How many of you find yourselves burdened with other people’s problems? How many of you find yourselves involved in negative talk with others? How many of you can’t put the smart phone down because you are reading or watching what other people are doing on social media? If any of these scenarios relate to you then maybe you should mind your own business. It’s such a simple phrase, “Mind your own business.” The sad part is only a small percentage of people on the planet follow the phrase. We will tell others to mind their own business when they get on our nerves. Even in those instances where we tell others to mind their own business, we don’t mean it. People today are consumed with nosing into other people’s lives. The purpose for such nosiness is lost under tons of Facebook pages, tweets and Snapchat posts. The world is filled with people minding other people's business. The crazy part is, if everyone tended to his or her business society would be almost perfect. The time spent checking social media during a 24-hour day is astounding. For example, I have watched teachers, during class, sit down and pull out the phone to check Facebook. I know several teachers who sit behind their desk with the laptop open and put their I-Phone on the keyboard. This is so if anyone looks into the classroom it looks like they're working

on the computer. Before you start justifying your holy usage of the smart phone think about this. How many of you have been trying to check out at a store or buy something and the salesperson's or cashier's head was in their phone? Exactly. If everyone were minding their own business then service across the board would be much better. Social media is only one aspect of the nosiness of today's society. The good old-fashioned gossip is still number one. Today we have transitioned the nosy gossip into the caring friend. We have duped ourselves into believing that if someone cares enough to listen they are a good person. Wrong. They are not a good person, they are a nosy person. One hundred percent of the time everything you have told this person is told to someone else. Just look around you and you will see evidence of this constantly.

Pull the mirror out and look at yourself. Do you thrive on hearing about the latest gossip around the workplace? Are you the one sitting in a gossip ring saying, “I knew it,” or “Girl she isn’t any good”? How is this interaction helping you take care of the issues you have? Is it possible that listening to the juicy details of other people’s lives is creating problems in yours? The main question is how could your time be better spent? People seem to be addicted to being in business that doesn’t concern them. People are so busy using tools like social media to be nosy they are forgetting to live their own life. Social media is a tool, not an alternative to living. If everyone were minding his or her business how would society flow? Take one week and focus 90 percent of your time thinking or dealing with your own advancement. When someone starts gossiping or telling

The Counseling Corner
By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Alcohol awareness month (Part 1) This month this writer will address a topic that is somewhat of a departure from previous awareness topics: alcohol and drug dependence. Many of you may be saying: ‘alcohol and drugs, we will just skip this month.’ But before you dismiss the topic as being irrelevant to the believing community, alcohol and drug dependence affects people in the church and family members of people in the church. Even if it does not affect you personally, someone who sits next to you in worship may be affected or struggling with an alcohol or drug dependence. Founded and sponsored by NCADD, Alcohol Awareness Month was established in 1987 to help reduce the stigma so often associated with alcoholism by encouraging communities to reach out to the American public each April with information about alcohol, alcoholism and recovery. Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease, genetically predisposed and fatal if untreated. However, people can and do recover. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 20 million individu-

Alcohol Awareness Month provides a focused opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of alcoholism, its causes, effective treatment and recovery. According to NCADD, April is an opportunity to decrease stigma and misunderstandings in order to dismantle the barriers to treatment and recovery, and thus, make seeking help more readily available to those who suffer from this disease.

Sixth Annual Girls' Day at City Hall
Photo by Yvonne Kemp
There was plenty of "girl power" at City Hall in Milwaukee on Thursday, March 24, 2016. City leaders hosted a "Girls' Day" pairing young women with leaders in the community. The young women got to participate in workshops with female elected officials and those who work in public service. Currently, Milele Coggs is the only woman on the Milwaukee Common Council, and she said she is hoping for some company. "This is a labor of love for me -- to get these young ladies to see

the possibilities so that when they are old enough and able they might consider it too -- so 10 - 20 years from now, hopefully it won't just be one out of 15," Coggs said. Nearly 100 young women took part in this event, marking the sixth year of the "Girls' Day" program. Pictured are (front, seated from left) Alderwoman Coggs and Pearls For Teen Girls executive director Gerry Howze, who served as opening speaker.

MPS graduate earns prestigious Fulbright award
We’re choosing new textbooks and need your input!
2012 Rufus King International High School alumna and Bradley University student Sojourner White Sojourner White, a 2012 graduate of Milwaukee Public Schools’ Rufus King International High School and student at Bradley University in Illinois, has received the prestigious Fulbright U.S. Student Award. White, who attended MPS’ Elm Creative Arts School and Roosevelt Creative Arts Middle School before heading to King, will teach English and serve as a cultural ambassador in Spain. “Going through the arts education system gave me those values for creativity, which I’ll definitely need going to a different country teaching students about U.S. culture,” she said. King’s International Baccalaureate program opened her eyes to the fact that “there’s a world beyond high school and a world beyond Milwaukee.” Watching her father, an MPS teacher, work with students will also prepare her for the trip, White said. The MPS alumna plans to work in school psychology after she returns from Spain and continues on to graduate school. The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed

to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries, according to the program. The Fulbright U.S. Student Award has been in existence since 1946, when the Fulbright Program began, and fewer than 2,000 students receive the award each year. White’s mother, Venice Williams, shared the news of her daughter’s accomplishment on social media, describing her daughter as a “success story of Milwaukee Public Schools and the entire Milwaukee village.” MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver, Rufus King International High School Principal Dr. Jennifer Smith and the entire MPS family

Initiative (NFI).please Ford Foundation provided to community foundations in Detroit, MI, Hanford, CT, Memphis, TN and Milwaukee,WI to assemble a staff collaborative board in a neighborhood community of their choosing. The late Sarah Anne Ford (not related to the Fords) was the program coordinator for the Milwaukee Project. For over six years in the 90s, Nellie was an active volunteer with the Neighborhood Leadership Committee. NFl provided her the skills and understanding of the community development process through classes of NFI’s Leadership Workshop by Jan Smith, Learning Your Community conducted by Dan Folkman and Kalyani Rai and Investing In Harambee (Partnership Building Program) conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project in Social Investing. Inspired by what she had learned and seeing the possibilities of how one person can make a diflerence, Nellie’s Outreach Resource Initiative (NORI) was created in 1994. Nellie considered NORI a spin-off project of NFI because of the affiliation. The NORI/Youth Employment Program-Model 1999 was created to improve the communication between the Milwaukee Central City and the “quick service” restaurant industry. This was a successful partnership venture with McDonald’s Owner/Operator Sherman Claypool, with a $40,000 grant funded by Helen Bader Foundation. Because of the successful venture, Helen Bader Foundation chose to further their assistance by helping NORI to secure 501(c)(3) status. The Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Donors Anita B. Steinman Fund and I.A. Dinerstein Fund made it possible to assist NORI with office space.

Cancer control: Thirty-two steps you can take now So what does cancer control really mean? With cancer rates on the rise worldwide, include both cancer prevention (taking actions that prevent getting cancer in the first place) and also reducing your risk of cancer recurrence (if you have already had cancer). Don’t just be a cancer survivor. Be a thriver! If you have ever had cancer or watched anyone close to you go through the cancer journey, you know that you need to have a plan. What can you do? Here is your cancer control plan. Think of this as your cancer insurance policy. Practice prevention and take steps to ensure early detection. Take one step each week, and you will have transformed your risk and created an anti-cancer healthy life in only eight months! 1. Stop smoking/avoid secondhand smoke. 2. Eat an anti-cancer anti-inflammatory diet rich in cancer-fighting superfoods, herbs and spices. 3. Eat a rainbow of colors from fresh organic fruits and vegetables. 4. Eat a diet that is at least 50 percent organic plantbased foods to reduce exposure to toxins and increase antioxidants and foods that turn on cancer suppressor genes and turn off cancer promoter genes.
5. Decrease red meat, animal fats and proteins to reduce exposures to hormones and environmental toxins concentrated in animal foods. 6. Eat a low glycemic diet that keeps insulin and blood sugar in normal ranges. High blood sugar and high insulin increase cancer risk. Avoid all refined sugars and sweets including high fructose corn syrup. Limit fruit intake to 1-2 servings daily (emphasize vegetables). 7. Eat healthy fats and oils daily (olive oil, flax, walnut, avocado). 8. Eat a high-fiber diet to promote normal healthy intestinal function, normal weight and appetite control. 9. Eat fermented foods regularly (an important part of normal immunity, normal detoxification and healthy intestinal function). 10. Include cabbage family vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, radishes) and garlic regularly rich in sulfur-containing compounds with anti-cancer and detoxifying properties. 11. Cook with spices and herbs rich in anti-cancer phytochemicals that promote normal inflammatory function and protect your DNA. You can fight cancer in the kitchen (tumeric, ginger, rosemary, thyme, mint, parsley). 12. Eat at least 60 grams
of high quality protein daily. Three servings daily, 20 grams (4 ounces) per serving. 13. Drink green tea regularly. 14. Limit alcohol intake. 15. Keep your body weight and percent body fat normal. High body fat = high risk of cancer. 16. Get 150 minutes of exercise every week/sweat regularly. 17. Engage in regular cardioovascular and high intensity interval training as well as muscle strengthening and muscle building exercises. Stay fit. Stay lean. 18. Use sun protection. 19. Get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Lack of sleep is linked to increased risk of cancer. 20. Manage stress/relax/ take sacred time for yourself. 21. Increase your natural killer cells. Practice yoga, tai chi, meditation, prayer, acupuncture, massage. Take control of environmental factors 22. Avoid chemical expo-
sures at home and work. 23. Go through each room 29.

Keeping the peace between adult children in estate planning When you die, will your kids fight over your money? It's an important question that might be hard to answer now, but parents who devote themselves to estate planning with relevant updates over their lifetimes can potentially keep arguments between adult children to a minimum. As of 2013, American retirees are the sixth most generous in the world when it comes to the amount of assets passed on to family, according to a survey by HSBC, the global British bank. The latest survey (http://www. about.hsbc.com.au/newsand-media) noted that 56 percent of American retirees planned to leave an inheritance with an average amount of $176,814. How you allocate your estate, no matter what the amount, requires planning and proper communication.
Here are a few ways to start. Know where you stand first. If you haven't updated your estate planning in the last 5-10 years, do so now to fully understand your complete financial picture. Like all personal finance issues, estate planning should be adjusted when significant life changes happen or there is a major shift in assets, such as when a relative needs help. In short, your estate picture has to reflect current financial realities, so before you decide how to allocate your wealth either before or after you die, seek qualified financial, tax (https://www.irs.gov/ Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Estateand-Gift-Taxes) and estate
for each child might mean that an even split won't work. Once you are able to determine your assets, start thinking through how you can distribute them.
advice. Once you've determined distribution, confirm your plan. Managing money and family are usually parallel issues until the topic of estate planning arises. For some families, splitting money, property and possessions more or less equally among adult children is a smooth process. However, when it doesn't result in the fairest outcome for everyone involved, it can be trickier to navigate. Varying situations
Re-affirm your executor and powers of attorney. Making a will and designating various health, financial and business powers of attorney as applicable are the standard first steps in estate planning. Certain kinds of trusts might also be relevant. Generally it's good to have documents in place (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/estateplanning) early in life. As your children get older, it's a good idea to review those documents and designated leadership.
Start communicating. Hollywood has produced many a movie scene with family members sitting nervously in a lawyer's office waiting for the will to be read. Such moments make for great comedy or drama, but not great modern estate planning. Based on what you hope to leave your family, the state of your relationship with your adult children and whatever weigh-in you get from qualified advisors, it's usually better to communicate your plans to your children in advance in person and make sure your legal documents confirm exactly what you plan to do. Bottom line: Could your current estate planning eventually put your kids and other family members at odds? Don't wait – the time to update or start estate planning is right now.
When changing jobs, should you leave 401(k) money behind? sets to that employer. If, for example, your prospective employer has a more generous matching feature than your current employer has, that could create a favorable environment for transferring those assets. If not, you may
want to keep your money in your employer's existing plan or consider a rollover to a personal IRA with the features you're looking for. Ask plenty of questions. Evaluate IRA choices carefully. If you are considering
rolling your former employer's assets into a personal IRA, evaluate your tax situation, both Traditional and Roth IRA options and their performance and fee (Continued on pg. 17)

With the average American spending only 4.6 years at any given job, it's never been more important to have a plan for any retirement funds you've accrued at any employer. A big problem that began during the 2008 recession but continues today involves loans, hardship withdrawals and complete cash-outs of 401(k) plans. A 2015 Boston College study (http:// crr.bc.edu) reported that 1.5 percent of retirement assets "leak out" of 401(k) plans and personal IRAs each year, reducing an individual's wealth at retirement by about 25 percent. Meanwhile, a 2014 Fidelity Investments study sounded a particularly urgent alarm about 401(k) cash-outs and workers under the age of 40. The mutual fund giant noted that 35 percent of all participants were simply cashing out their 401(k) assets when leaving a job. However, for workers aged 20-39 – indeed, those with the longest savings horizons – that number
jumped to 41 percent. So what should you do? A great deal depends on your age, time to retirement and specific needs. Start by taking an inventory of your retirement assets. Either alone or with the help of a qualified financial or tax expert, put together an official list of current and former 401(k) plans, personal IRAs or, depending on your years of work history, assets from traditional defined benefit retirement plans that were popular more than 20 years ago. Then see where you are. Make sure you always review retirement options whenever you change a job. If an employer is highly motivated to get you on board, query the company about the retirement savings options that would fit the position you're interviewing for. Ask hiring managers in general terms about how well their retirement options have performed and if you would have the option of rolling over your 401(k) as-

SENIORS LIVING
Four spring break travel tips for seniors and caregivers If you are a caregiver for a senior loved one who will be going with your family on vacation this spring, there are a few things you should consider before heading out. Preparing in advance can help make the trip more relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Thoughtful planning: While direct flights might cost a little more, they can make a big difference when you are traveling with older adults or a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. If you are traveling by car, pre-plan your route and stopovers. Make sure to plan for rest breaks. If your senior family member has any health problems or lives with dementia, driving for more than six or seven hours in one day might not be very realistic. 2. Copy of medical file: No one likes to think their vacation will be interrupted by an emergency, but it is important to be prepared just in case. Make sure to bring a copy of your senior loved one’s medical file that includes their medical his-

tory, medications, and physician contact information. You might find it easier to safely store the information in a smart phone app like My Medical App or Care Zone. 3. Emergency contact cards: On the chance that you become separated from your older family member in a busy airport or rest stop, be sure they have a card with your cell phone number on it or they have their own cell phone. Even a disposable phone that you purchase for them just for vacations and outings would work. If your senior loved one has memory loss caused by some form
of dementia, you might also want to include additional family members’ names and contact information on the cards. Put copies of the cards in their wallet, purse and pockets. 4. GPS tracking watch or bracelet: If your loved one has Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia, consider signing them up for a GPS tracking service. There are several different kinds on the market including some that work off of cellular technology. In the event your family member wanders while you are away from home, you can safe-

Local Scholarship Fund incorporates “laughter” into raising money for education About six years ago, the Lois M. Chapple Scholarship was established to raise educational scholarships for youth. Our mission is to aid in their development by assisting them with completing their education, which will empower them to achieve economic self-sufficiency. “We recognize that one positive relationship can change the course of a young person’s life. Therefore, our scholarship program’s objective is to enhance the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical self, of the young people that receive it,” said Scholarship Coordinator Hazel Miller. Named after its founder, the scholarship was launched when Mrs. Chapple recognized a need to “acknowledge the educational accomplishments of the high school graduates within our congregation at Brentwood Church of Christ, 6425 North 60th St. Hazel stated that, “as she worked with Sister Chapple to raise small financial “love offerings” for high school graduates,” she developed a deep appreciation for her compassion and determination for the future of our young people.
ed to remain active in the program she had founded, she realized that it would take more than just her efforts to build this fund. She and other supporters also hoped to increase the program in order to increase support to its recipients. Mrs. Miller, a native of Racine who has spent most of her life in Milwaukee, stepped forward. After meeting, Mrs. Chapple felt that Hazel was the ideal person to take the program to the next level, including a comedy show that the entire family can attend. Hazel plans to work more diligently within the Milwaukee communities to bring more positive energy and focus to the successful accomplishments of our young adults. She believes that the future of our youth begins with the opportunities we provide them today. To that end, the scholarship organization attempts to distinguish itself by caring for the success of the students. In addition, to being awarded a financial scholarship, the recipients receive care packages three times a year and bi-weekly text messages of encouragement. Recipients can also reapply for the scholarship for four years. Since its inception, While Mrs. Chapple want- more than $15,000 has been

suming primary responsibility for the Lois M. Chapple Scholarship Fund, she “came to realize that our community needs positive energy that is family oriented and does not break the bank.” After doing her first comedy show, she realized this was one of her gifts and now hosting her seventh show.

He has worked with me to introduce talented local comedians to our show, which has exposed them to additional opportunities. Every comedian that I have reached out to has found additional gigs as a result,” Hazel said. “They realize they can be funny without profanity. That opens more opportunities for them.” The next bi-annual show, titled “Black Girls Laugh” A Comedy Show, starring Chastity Washington and Betty G. will take place at the LeRoy Durley Annex Building on Saturday, April 23, 2016 at 7:00pm. The LeRoy Durley Annex Building is located at 6425 N 60th Street (next to Brentwood Church of Christ). Tickets are $12.00 in advance and at the door. Advanced tickets can be purchased by calling 414-353-6757. Hazel stated, “If you’re looking for a good time and lots of laughs, this is a show you will not want to miss!”

levels before you arrange for a transfer. Go for the best-performing investment options that fit your needs and anticipated retirement date. Employer-based 401(k) plans generally disclose investment choices and investment fees (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/401k_ employee.html). It may be a good idea to get qualified help to review those documents. Age is important. There's typically a 10 percent penalty if you withdraw money from a 401(k) or IRA before age 59 ½. But if you lose or leave your job at age 55 or later (or earlier for certain public employees), you can generally take 401(k) withdrawals without penalty. An IRA rollover requires the account holder to be at least 59 ½ years old before they can take a penalty-free IRA distribution. While keeping your money invested as long as possible is key to a successful retirement, withdrawal issues are also important to consider based on your age and time to retirement. Invest on your own. It's important to do parallel personal retirement planning with any employer-based retirement options available to you. Again, get qualified help to assist you in evaluating the retirement savings and investment decisions you make on your own and at work. Bottom line: Frequent job changing can derail anyone's retirement planning. Whether you roll over a former employer's retirement assets every time you switch or decide to keep your money in certain plans, get help if you need it.

Thursday, April 7: Billie Holiday was born on this date in 1915. She was an African American vocalist who spent an impoverished childhood in Baltimore before moving to New York City in the late 1920s. She began singing in Harlem nightclubs. A recording session in 1935 brought her to public attention. Thereafter she was vocalist with various orchestras, including those of Count Basie and Artie Shaw, and made many recordings with the saxophonist Lester Young and with the pianist Teddy Wilson. Throughout the 1940s and 50s Holiday appeared in clubs around the U.S. with great success, although her voice increasingly showed the effects of her long-term heroin addiction. She died in Metropolitan Hospital, New York City, while under arrest for possession of illegal drugs. Her autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues (1956) inspired a 1972 movie of the same name. She died on July 17, 1959. Friday, April 8: On this date in 2002, Susan-Lori Parks won a Pulitzer Prize for Topdog/Underdog her play on Broadway at the Ambassador Theater. She was the first African American woman in 85 years to win a Pulitzer Prize in a drama category. The play tells the story of two blood brothers named Lincoln and Booth, one a card shark and Abe Lincoln impersonator, the other, a student of the threecard-Monty con game. When Parks was asked about her inspiration for writing Topdog/Underdog, her answer was: “It chose me. I wasn’t planning or plotting or scheming....” Saturday, April 9: On this date in 1866, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act over the veto of President Andrew Johnson. The act declared that all persons born in the United States were now citizens, without regard to race, color, or previous condition. As citizens they could make and enforce contracts, sue and be sued, give evidence in court, and inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property. Persons who denied these rights to former slaves were guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction faced a fine not exceeding $1,000, or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. This legislation, a predecessor Civil Rights of the 1960s May 4thto -the6th, 2016Acts – 7:00 P.M. was never taken seriously by the U.S. government, according to the African American Registry.

She grew up on a plantation in Wayne County, North Carolina. Her parents were Polly Simmons, a slave, and her master. In 1848 her mother was freed and moved north, purchasing a home in Cleveland with funds from her master. It was in Cleveland that she learned of the special needs of elderly blacks left destitute due to slavery. At the time nursing care facilities denied access to blacks. In 1893 Bryant and others established a home for aged blacks. In January 1895 a board of trustees was named and the “Cleveland Home for Aged Colored People” opened on August 11, 1897.
