Yaphet Kotto, Bond Villain and Alien Actor, dies at 81 Yaphet Kotto's extensive filmography includes turns as the villain in Live and Let Die and as Lieutenant Al Giardello in Homicide: Life on the Street

Yaphet Kotto — the prolific actor who starred in films such as Live and Let Die and Alien, as well as numerous television series including Homicide: Life on the Street — has died. He was 81.

Kotto's wife Tessie Sinahon revealed the sad news on his official Facebook page Monday, March 15, 2021, sharing a throwback photo of him and writing, "I'm saddened and still in shock of the passing of my husband Yaphet of 24 years.

"He died last night around 10:30 p.m. Philippine time.

This is a very painfall moment for me to inform you all fans, friends and family of my husband," she shared.

"We still have a lot of plans honey that we discussed you have a lot of interviews waiting and you have movie offers like G.I. Joe and the movie of Tom Cruise and others," Sinahon continued.

"You still have plan to release your book and build a religious organization based on Yogananda's Teachings."

Kotto kicked off his film career in the early 1960s, starting as an extra in the Frank Sinatra- and Dean Martin-led comedy-Western 4 for Texas.

He would go on to star in movies like The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and 1972's The Limit — the latter of which he also directed — before landing the role of villain Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big in Live and Let Die, alongside Roger Moore's James Bond and Bond girl Jane Seymour.

"You played a villain on some of your movies but for me you're a real hero and to a lot of people also," Sinahon added in her tribute to Kotto.

Other projects the late actor was well-known for include Alien (1979), The Running Man (1987) and Mid-

night Run (1988), as well as a starring role as Lieutenant Al Giardello on Homicide: Life on the Street. Kotto played the latter role for the entirety of the series' seven-season run, beginning in 1993, as well as in 2000's Homicide: The Movie.

While his final onscreen role was in the 2008 film Witless Protection, Kotto later lent his voice talents to reprise his Alien character, technician

Dennis Parker, in the 2014 video game Alien: Isolation.

Many in the film and television industry flocked to social media to express their condolences over Kotto's death, including Ava DuVernay, who shared a collection of photos of the late actor and wrote, "Yaphet Kotto.

My Mom's favorite. He's one of those actors who deserved more than the parts he got.

"But he took those parts and made them wonderful all

the same. A star. Rest well, sir," added DuVernay, 48.

In her Facebook post, Sinahon referred to Kotto, a father of six, as "a good man, a good father, a good husband and a decent human being, very rare to find."

She concluded, "One of the best actors in Hollywood a Legend. Rest in Peace Honey, I'm gonna miss you everyday, my best friend, my rock. love you and you will always be in my heart. Till we meet again!"

March awareness days-Week 2: Environmental Awareness Day: Global Recycling Day celebrated March 18, 2021 Environmental observances and world day campaigns are a great way to raise awareness for a cause that is meaningful to you, your organization or your family.

Observances during Environmental Awareness Days can include recycling, World Ozone Day that encourages awareness for the reduction of emissions; or World Water Day that brings awareness to water conservation and clean water. Then there is World Wildlife Day. The World Wildlife Day brings awareness of wildlife and promotes wildlife conservation. The International Day of Forests celebrates and raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. During International Day of Forests, countries are encouraged to undertake local, national and international efforts to organize activities involving forests and trees.

If you and your family want to bring awareness to World Water Day, for example, you could promote your family’s water conservation efforts or

plant a tree in honor of International Day of Forests or celebrate efforts to reduce emissions on World Ozone Day. March 18, 2021 is celebrated as Global Recycling Day. Global Recycling Day was created in 2018 to help recognize, and celebrate, the importance recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a day for the world to come together, and put the planet first. Teachers are encouraged to talk about Global Recycling Day during class and encourage students to reduce, reuse and recycle.

When we reduce, reuse and recycle: • It keeps waste from piling up in landfills • It saves energy • It preserves landfills space • It prevents global warming • It reduces water pollution • It’s good for the environment • It protects wildlife

Women's History Month The Milwaukee Times Celebrates Women in the Military

Major Michele Carter U.S. Army Reserve & National Guard

Staff Sergeant Lisa Cross U.S. Army Reserve

Major Dorothy Greer U.S. Army

Corporal Michelle Lipsey U.S. Marine Corps

Captain Sedoria Outlaw U.S. Army

Major Michele Carter served her country through the Army Reserve AND THEN in the Army National Guard. Now firmly entrenched in her civilian career as the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Chief at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), US Army veteran Michele Carter served 23 years of enlisted and commissioned military service in the US Army Reserve and National Guard.

She retired as a Major in the Chemical Corps in 2008. During her military career, Michele received more than ten awards for exemplary service and distinguished achievement including the Army Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal and numerous Army Achievement Medals.

Retired Army Captain Berdie L. Cowser is Director of the Bureau of Milwaukee Transitional Housing Programs and Services and forged side-by-side military and academic careers until 2009, when she ended her military career.

Berdie began her civilian career as a safety services case manager for the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare in 2000. She then moved to the Center for Veterans Issues, Ltd., in 2001. She was promoted from case manager to supportive services supervisor in 2004. She continued her tenure with the Center for Veterans Issues, Ltd. Her present responsibilities as bureau director include providing oversight and control for more than 50 personnel —staff, transitional job participants, interns, volunteers and the supervision of wrap around services for more than 200 veterans on any given night.

Serving her country for 16 years, Army Staff Sergeant Lisa C. Cross joined the United States Army Reserve in high school in 1980. She received a Bronze Star in 1991 for acts of meritorious service in a combat zone. Artistically accomplished, personable and confident, she served as the only soldier with advanced Auto CAD training and Special Background Investigation clearances during her tour of duty. Now as a civilian and devoted member of the National Association for Black Veterans, Inc., for more than 10 years, Lisa assists other veterans as she volunteers in her local community. Beneficiaries of her selfless service included the Center for Veterans Issues, Ltd., Common Ground. She enjoys seeing people prosper. Lisa even wrote to President Barack Obama suggesting ideas to better the United States of America, to which he responded in writing.

It’s no surprise that retired Coast Guard Master Chief Mary C. Fowlkes pursued education and military service as dual careers. During her first teaching assignment at Racine Horlick High School, she joined the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve in 1983. In 2008, she became the first African American female U.S. Coast Guard reservist to earn the rank of Master Chief. In 1986, she began teaching in Milwaukee Public Schools at Jackie Robinson Middle School and transferred to Riverside University High School, her alma mater, in 1991. Displaying a wealth of dedication and involvement with RUHS students, in 2012, she assisted Habitat for Humanity in building a home with funds raised by the student council. She chaperoned students for tours to historically black colleges and universities, and even now, continues to chaperone field trips.

Presently a Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) clinical nurse instructor for the Licensed Practical Nurse Program, retired Army Major Dorothy Greer entered the United States Army Reserve as a direct commissioned officer because she has an associate degree in nursing. Her 24 years of military service garnered an Army Commendation Medal, four Army Reserve Components Achievement Medals, two National Defense Service Medals, an Armed Forces Reserve Achievement Medal, an Army Service Ribbon, and two Overseas Service Ribbons. As a civilian, Dorothy has also served as a nurse for the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department. Dorothy is the widow of turner and wood artisan Calvin Greer. She has two sons, Calvin Ashanti Greer, who is married to Kimberly Greer; and Christopher Greer, along with 6 grandchildren.

Air Force Technical Sergeant Linder L. Jines served with the 440th Airlift Wing of the U.S. Air Force Reserves for 21 years before retiring in 2007. She was based at the Air Reserve Station at General Mitchell International Airport until the 440th relocated to Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, NC. She is currently a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission budget analyst. Her military career began in 1986 following her graduation from Bradley Trade and Technical High School in 1983. Initially assigned to the 95th Aerial Port Squadron (APS) as an air cargo specialist, she transferred later to the 34th APS unit as an air transportation specialist, and then became a passenger services technician. Currently Linder is a budget analyst for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Retired with the rank of Corporal in the United States Marine Corps, Michelle D. Smith Lipsey is now Administrative Assistant to the Clerk of Court for the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Wisconsin. This position reflects her accumulated wealth of experience, values and dedication to excellence. The Milwaukee native graduated from Riverside University High School in 1988 and enlisted with the United States Marine Corps in 1989. Stationed with the 1st Supply Battalion, 1st Force Service Support Group at Camp Pendleton, CA, she served as a Supply Administration & Operations Clerk with the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Code 3043 and completed active duty in 1993.

Petty Officer 2nd Class, Virdia Afi Ofei is 7 years into her Navy career. She decided long before enlisting at 32 years old, she wanted to serve her country, reach her full potential and see the world. Presently living in Franklin, WI, she wanted to be near her Chicago family and at the same time live somewhere new. Since 2013 she has worked at Chicago District Navy Recruiting Station, in Greenfield, WI. She sees herself as the bridge between what the Navy needs and what individuals need. Through the Navy’s Core Values honor, courage and commitment, she says that she “takes care of future sailors like family, as I teach them, they represent the Navy and their family members back home. They learn discipline, the benefit of hard work and to depend on themselves and their instincts.

Captain Sedoria L. Outlaw accomplished extraordinary military and civilian careers. In 2013-2014 she deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Upon returning to civilian life, her 21-year Army and mental health career paths merged, resulting in a promotion to Director of Education and Training at the Center for Veterans Issues, Ltd. A Licensed Minister at Bethel Apostolic Church, Sedoria promotes spiritual health and wellness through community service by guiding individuals locally, nationally and internationally. She says, “Excellence to me is summoned up through the Army motto, ‘Never Accept Defeat.’ Barriers are eliminated with hard work, determination and education.

Nothing beats a failure accept a try. God first in everything and excellence will follow."

Veteran Barbara G. Robinson desires to always be in position to help others. Beginning her 23-year military career in 1982, she achieved the rank of U.S. Air Force Reserve Master Sergeant (E-7), transferred to the Army, and reenlisted in the Air Force Reserve. She embraces the Air Force’s core values, summed up by the French adage “esprit de corps” meaning “a sense of unity.” She completed her 6-year enlistment at Milwaukee’s former 440th General Mitchell Air Base. Then she enlisted in the U.S. Army for active duty in 1988 to gain access to law enforcement. She reenlisted in the Air Force reserve in 1992, and retired in 2007. During that time, in 1995, she began a civillian career as a Milwaukee Police Department police officer and retired in 2012.

Making it plain: What Black America Needs to Know About COVID-19 and Vaccines

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

Brought to you by:

By: Darryl Sellers

Faith-based leaders join forces to fight against COVID-19 By: Darryl Sellers Our African American communities are facing daunting challenges as we fight against COVID-19.

More transmissible variants of the coronavirus are sweeping our nation in the year-long pandemic which is especially troubling for Black people, who are 3 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than white people.

The Black Coalition Against COVID (BCAC) is

one organization which is keeping Black communities informed about COVID-19 with Facebook Live events.

Reverend Calvin Butts, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York, was a guest who spoke about faithbased communities joining the fight against COVID-19.

mation about COVID-19.

He said standing with science is vital to help faith-based organizations get the word out.

“We’re trying to save lives,” he said.

Reverend Butts, a champion to conquer COVID-19, encourages Black communities to take a “leap of faith” and get vaccinated. “The Black pastor is still the most trusted of all,” Reverend Butts said. “We’ll have great success, the same way we did when we confronted the AIDS pandemic.”

In late-January, Reverend Butts rolled up his left sleeve to get his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at his historic Rev. Calvin Butts III As co-chair of the Choose church.

tional families.

One in five Americans currently live in a home with multiple generations. African American grandparents play a significant role in the homes across America. With the pandemic reaching one year, it’s crucial that all Black Americans get the most accurate information about how to stay safe during the fight against COVID-19.

“Multigenerational families living in homes with one bathroom makes it harder for us,” said Dr. Collins. “As African Americans are trying to quarantine and go through these periods knowing that if we’re infected with COVID, we have to stay at home and be away from others.”

The Black Coalition Against COVID (BCAC) is one organization which is keeping African Americans up to date about the pan-

demic with Facebook Live events. Dr. Felicia Collins, Rear Admiral, United States Public Health Service; HHS

Acting Assistant Secretary of Health was one of the speakers who addressed how the virus affects multigenera-

Dr. Collins stresses the importance of African Americans staying equipped with information to ensure that they are not at the end of the line when the vaccine is available. “There are other people

waiting to take our spots in line if we say, ‘No thank you’ when the vaccine is offered,” she said.

While we wait for the COVID-19 vaccine to become widely available, the CDC has tips to protect Black Americans and their family members, including those who are at an increased risk for severe illness from the virus.
