National & Local News

Death toll from polar vortex climbs as frustrations mount and records fall The deadly, record-shattering blast of arctic air known as the polar vortex plunged almost the entire country below freezing on Monday, January 6, 2014 and punished parts of it with much worse, including thousands more canceled flights and power grids straining as people cranked up the heat.

All 50 states dipped below 32 degrees at some point — even Hawaii, where it was 25 at the top of the Mauna Kea volcano, which is normally right at the freezing line this time of year.

Schools and businesses closed for a second day. Single-digit temperatures were recorded at sunrise as far south as Georgia and Alabama, and parts of Minnesota were as cold as 25 degrees below zero.

Records — not all-time, but at least for the date of Jan. 7 — fell in dozens of cities across the country: 11

degrees below zero in Cleveland, 6 above in Atlanta and 12 above in Austin, Texas.

A 118-year-old record was shattered in Central Park in New York, where it was 4 degrees, the coldest reading on the books for Jan. 7 and the coldest at any time since January 2004. Factor in the wind, and it felt like 31 below in Chicago, 16 below in New York and 45 below near the U.S.-Canadian border in Minnesota.

At least 17 deaths were blamed on the severe weather since snow and bitter cold started punishing the Midwest late last week, according to counts by NBC News, NBC affiliates and The Weather Channel.

They included a 90-yearold woman found dead near her stranded car in Ohio and a 1-year-old boy who was killed in Missouri when the car he was in collided with a snowplow on Monday.

Deaths were also reported in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. They included people who succumbed to exposure and had heart attacks shoveling snow.

Airports offered warmth but plenty of frustration. Almost 3,000 flights for Tuesday were canceled, bringing the two-day total to about 7,000. JetBlue, which grounded flights at four airports in the Northeast while it waited for the cold to pass, started flying again but warned that there would still be delays.

Homeless shelters across the country were overwhelmed by people seeking shelter from the cold, which

the National Weather Service warned was severe enough in North Dakota and Minnesota to freeze human flesh in five minutes.

Forecasters said that the effects of the system, a swirling mass of North Pole air that has pushed unusually far south, would be felt by as many as 187 million people — more than half the country’s population.

Schools were closed as far south as Atlanta, where the morning wind chill was 9 below. Class was canceled for a second day in Minneapolis and in Indianapolis, where Mayor Greg Ballard warned: “In 10 minutes, you could be dead without the proper clothes.”

Amtrak had to charter buses to get some customers to their destinations. Three trains, all headed for Chicago and carrying more than 500 passengers in all, were delayed overnight because of

the severe weather, a spokesman said.

Working in bitter cold, Amtrak crews were able to make progress repairing damaged wires between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but the railway warned that passengers should brace for delays for most of the day.

Reports from John F. Kennedy Airport where JetBlue says it didn't fly again in New York or Boston until Tuesday.

Hard freeze warnings for Tuesday extended all the way south to the Gulf Coast. In Texas, one utility asked people to turn down the thermostat because power capacity was running low.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas declared its second-highest emergency level and had the option of going further, and ordering (Continued on pg. 3)

'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' actor James Avery dead at 65 James Avery, a classically trained actor best known for his role as the wealthy uncle of the young rapper Will Smith in the 1990s television comedy "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," has died at age 65.

Avery's death was confirmed to CNN by his publicist, and more widely in a Twitter message on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 by one of the actor's TV co-stars, Alfonso Ribeiro, who played his son, Carlton, on "Fresh Prince."

"I'm deeply saddened to say that James Avery has passed away. He was a second father to me. I will miss him greatly," Ribeiro said in a tweet.

According to the celebrity website TMZ, Avery died on Tuesday, New Year's Eve, from complications he suffered after recent open-heart surgery.

Avery's voice was heard in many animated TV series, including "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Iron Man," and he guest-starred on "That '70s Show" as a police officer.

But the Atlantic City, NJ native gained fame on television playing family patriarch Uncle Philip Banks on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," which starred Will Smith as a young rap artist from a tough Philadelphia neighborhood who ends up living with wellheeled relatives in the afflu-

lifestyle of Banks and his household and the brash, freewheeling attitudes of his nephew.

The show, a launching pad for Smith's own acting career, ended with a series finale in which Uncle Philip puts his mansion up for sale and it is bought by George and Louise Jefferson - actors Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford - of "The Jeffersons."

More recently, Avery had James Avery a recurring role as a deputy medical examiner on the ent Bel-Air section of Los cable drama series "The Angeles.

Would-be business owners move one step closer to dream Refugees who have the dream of starting their own business are closer to making that a reality. The participants of the Refugee Childcare Microenterprise Development Project are working to start their own homebased daycare businesses.

The program designed to help refugees is a project of the Social Development Commission (SDC) in partnership with the Pan African Community Association and the Multicultural Entrepreneurial Institute (MEI). The current class for the program consists of women and men from Iraq, Ethiopia and Eritrea. The participants have been taking classes to gain the knowledge and certification needed to start and successfully operate their own home-based childcare business.

This past week, the participants presented their busi-

ness plans for their proposed operations to a panel of business and banking industry representatives. The volunteer committee reviewed the plans and talked with the program participants about them. They will in the near future make recommendations on the plans.

The program participants said that it has been very challenging to reach this point in their efforts, pointing specifically to cultural and language

barriers that have presented problems. They have worked through those challenges and stated that they are excited at the opportunity they have gotten through the program.

The hopeful entrepreneurs will learn if their applications for a grant have been accepted based on recommendations from the reviewing panel and MEI staff who have been working with them. They will then apply to the State of Wisconsin for

certification, putting them in position to establish their own businesses.

The next class for the Refugee Childcare Microenterprise Development Project is currently recruiting members and is slated to start in January. To learn more about the program, eligibility requirements or to sign up, call SDC at 414-906-2768 or visit the agency website at www.cr-sdc.org and click on the “Programs” page.

Being Frank

By Frank James IV

Let’s start a New Year

The great year of 2013 is over. The New Year 2014 is upon us and the time for new opportunity arises with its coming. A new year means the possibilities are endless for society and individuals. A new year can bring everything a person or race of people could ever want.

One key to achieving what you wish in 2014 is to leave 2013 in the past. We offer a few suggested things to leave in 2013.

In 2013 many people were upset with the state of education in the African American community. In Wisconsin African American children achieved some of the lowest test scores in the nation. The gap between Caucasian and African American 4th and 8th grade students in reading and math was considerable. This disparity could be blamed on several circumstances but we’ve heard all of that before.

One solution to this dilemma is going forth capitalizing on where African Americans are and not where they're not.

If schools systems acknowledged what level students were in a subject and started teaching them from that point results would be different. True, many students of all races would be behind some peers but they would grow. The original focus of education was to teach children, not berate them for what they didn’t know. This is why society must leave the focus on test scores in 2013.

A fresh outlook in education that focuses on student growth from where they are currently instead of where they should be would help society greatly.

In 2013 many African American leaders proceeded to do what they have done for decades, make people miserable. Many African American leaders gain notoriety off of the misery of the people they claim to help.

These leaders rant continuously about the conditions African Americans are in, thus creating misery. Rarely do any of these gurus offer a viable solution to the problem that society as a whole would consider. The majority of African American leaders use television to gain publicity to ensure they go home to plush living while the people they lead go home mad. Let’s leave the Afri-

can American leadership in 2013; it's high time African Americans began to think for themselves.

The love of Jordan gym shoes has been a fad and embarrassment in the African American community for two decades. Michael Jordan parlayed his playing career into a shoe line that has a brand known worldwide. In the African American community the shoes have become something of a curse.

When a Jordan shoe is to be released African Americans lose all touch with reality.

Jordan shoes are nice but the maniacal behavior exhibited by African Americans for them can be left in 2013.

Jordan is wealthy so he won’t miss the notoriety.

The last thing to leave in 2013 is African American self-hate. This of all things listed will be the hardest to leave because many don’t see it. The self-hate many African Americans have for themselves and others of their race is so prevalent it has become normal. Listen to the R&B music that has made the females freaks and men effeminate thugs.

The ease with which African Americans can kill or degrade one another is also blatant proof. Until African Americans learn to love themselves no other race is going to want them or respect them. Self-hate should definitely be left in 2013.

2014 is a new year and with endless possibilities. The way your year pans out is ultimately up to you. This life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest and no one can say what’s the correct way to do this. If you leave 2013 behind and start fresh then 2014 is your opportunity to live life as you please.

Rebuilding our Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Community BySpecial for the Milwaukee Times Treasure these moments “My favorite things in life don’t cost any money.

It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.”

Those were the words that the late Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple once said. He was a pioneer of the personal computer revolution. His leadership helped to transform nearly all the industries of the world. Additionally, while being the CEO of Apple, he oversaw the development of many products, including the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone and the iPad. From computers to smartphones to music and movies, his creative genius has changed our lives forever.

Remarkably, he helped us to see and to do things more clearly, to make our work more efficient, keep our memories near, completing tasks faster, to work smarter and to remain connected to those we love and work with.

To many of us it seems so simple; it seems so easy and it

Polar vortex (Continued from pg. 2) rolling blackouts for 10 to 45 minutes at a time, if the electrical grid was strained further. A South Carolina power company briefly implemented 15-minute blackouts for the same reason.

Tens of thousands of people were still without power in Illinois and Indiana because of weekend snowstorms, and the cold made it dangerous for the workers trying to get the lights and heat back on.

Adding to the misery, parts of western New York were under a blizzard warning because of lake-effect snow blown around by wind gusts as strong as 40 mph, creating drifts 3 feet deep or more.

Snow off the Great Lakes was falling as fast as 4 inches per hour — “actually so intense that we’re getting little areas of thunder and lightning,” said Carl Parker, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel.

If traveling was even possible, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered parts of the New York Thruway, a major artery for the western part of that state, closed on Monday night. The Indianapolis mayor also encour-

has made things more convenient. In his view the overriding goal was to make our use of time more precious.

Today, there are lots of things going on in our society.

Some days it is hard to make any sense of the disruptive things we are seeing or experiencing all across our nation, in our cities and neighborhoods. There continues to be an uptick in gun violence, drug usage, continual world conflicts, and expanding gaps in wealth, increase in poverty rates, growing homeless population, medical and mental health issues. Each day the list of crises and challenges grow.

Similarly, each passing year,

we also learn about people who passed away; some more acclaimed than others, but nevertheless, they are no longer with us. Additionally, each of us knows of someone whose life has changed due to illness, an accident, loss of a friend or family member. Our hearts are saddened, our emotions are shattered and our faith is tested. But in the midst of it all what we do or accomplish, how much wealth we obtain, the fame we receive, homes we buy, cars we drive, careers we chose or where we live… we take for granted the one thing we all have in common… it is the finite time in which to get things done. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., perhaps said it best … “It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.” So, I say… let make these moments we have with each other count… for we can’t get them back.

The Counseling Corner

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

Taming the busyness beast in your life (Week 2) It’s useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone.

Don’t you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?

- Psalm 127:2 In a recent Barna research poll, it has been noted that the new default answer to the standard “how are you?” is no longer, ‘Good,” but “Busy.” Such busyness is often perceived as the “new norm” of the 21st century.

Let me begin by asking a series of questions. Answer “Yes” or “No” to each: 1. Do you always seem to be in a hurry?

2. At the end of your day do you often find that your detailed “to do’” list has many uncompleted tasks?

3. Has anyone ever told

you to slow down?

4. Do you feel guilty when you relax?

5. Have you ever found yourself scheduled to be in more than one place at a time?

Now, allow me to ask you a few tough questions: 1. When was the last time you really rested?

2. How long has it been since you took a walk, not just for exercise, but just to be refreshed?

3. When was the last time you took a Sunday leisurely drive with the family?

This series of articles is not meant to promote laziness.

But, they are intended to emphasize that living a hectic hurried life is not the kind of lifestyle that God intends for you. Constant busyness causes stress and prolonged

stress in any person’s life and paves the way to a multitude of other issues. Dr. Allen Elkin, Ph.D., Director of the Stress Management Counseling Center in New York City notes: Stress is a fact of life, but being stressed out is not.

We don’t always have control over what happens to us, and yet, that doesn’t mean we have to react to a difficult, challenging situation by becoming frazzled or feeling

overwhelmed or distraught.

Being overly anxious is not just a mental hazard; it’s a physical one too. The more stressed out we are the more vulnerable we are to colds, flu, and a host of chronic or life-threatening illnesses, and the less open we are to the beauty and pleasure of life.

Beloved, God desires for us to live well balanced, complete lives; not harried, hurried and stressed. Having the wrong priorities dictating our day is like buttoning our blouses/shirts incorrectly. If we get the first button wrong, all the others do not line up because of the misplaced first one. However, when we get the first button right, all the others will line up where they are designed to be. If you are having a hard time taming the busyness beast in

your life, ask yourself what do you need to stop doing?

What can be rearranged in your daily or weekly schedule to allow more time for relaxation? For your spiritual, emotional, mental and bodily benefit, I encourage you to tame the busyness beast in your life.

Next Week: Busyness Interferes With Our Most Important Relationships The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in these articles, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer.

Rather, the objective is strictly informative and educational. If you would like to contact Rev. Lester, write to her c/o P.O. Box 121, Brookfield, WI. 53008.

New Year’s resolutions as an 'expectation of faith'

By Derek Rishmawy If I had to take a guess, New Year’s would not have been the teacher’s favorite holiday: All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.

All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”?

It has been already in the ages before us.

There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.

–Ecclesiastes 1:7-11 Everything comes around just as it has before. Nothing is new and nothing really changes. Rivers continue in their Sisyphean attempt to fill up the sea; similarly, we work and toil but nothing ever gets done. There is “nothing new under the sun,” and if you are ever surprised, it is because you are young, blind, or a fool.

I’ll be honest, I get the same feeling whenever I reflect on New Year’s resolutions. People concoct them every year but it seems that “there is no remembrance of former things.” We fail to recall last year’s resolutions, largely the same ones, that have been left by the wayside,

usually long before the red shadow of Valentine’s Day ever hits. Ironically enough, even pessimism about New Year’s resolutions is not new.

Yet for some reason we still make them every year.

We get up, dust the cookie crumbs off our sweaters, and resolve to eat healthier.

We dust off our Bibles and promise ourselves we’ll make it past Leviticus. We start looking at our schedule and determine that this year our time will not be wasted in front of the screen again.

Why? When we’ve fallen off the wagon so many times there’s a familiar bump in the road with our name on it, why is it that we continue to clamber back on again? Whence comes this deep compulsion to imagine that the future is a future, and not merely a repetition of the past?

It strikes me as particularly fitting that here in the West we mark the New Year so quickly after we celebrate the birth of Christ. The Bible says history has a movement to it. Unlike certain Eastern religions or ancient philosophies which held to cyclical views of the cosmos, the Hebrews thought time had an origin. It began the moment God sovereignly spoke it into being. One moment there was nothing — not even that moment — and then, in some ineffable way, there was the first “then.”

What’s more, it not only has an origin but a telos (purpose), i.e., it is going somewhere: the Kingdom of God. God calls Abraham and gives him promises for the future. YHWH, Lord

of hosts, defeats Pharaoh’s armies and leads them out of Egypt by Moses’ hand.

With a pillar of cloud and fire, he marches them into the Promised Land, driving their enemies before them.

These are concrete, historical events that initiate new stages in redemptive history.

New theo-political realities emerge that differ from what

came before and shape what follows.

Even Israel’s yearly patterned festivals celebrate YHWH’s mighty, definitive acts. The seasons are steady, it is true; Sabbath is a created ordinance that anchors the universe’s steady rhythm and marks God’s creative act and sustaining power.

At Christmas, we cele-

brate the great act, when in the fullness of time, God’s kingdom, God’s rule, God’s new reality came crashing in, opening up the horizons of the real in the person of a newborn child. Breaking into the middle of established, unquestioned political realities and defying biological givens, in the birth of the Savior YHWH fulfills His promise: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isa 43:19) In other words, God is Lord of history — He initiated it and will consummate (Continued on pg. 15)

Education

More than 700 students graduate at MATC winter commencement ceremony Milwaukee Area Technical College held its winter commencement Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013 at the U.S. Cellular Arena, 400 W. Kilbourn Ave. More than 700 students graduated from associate degree, technical diploma, apprentice and adult high school programs.

Spencer Coggs, City of Milwaukee treasurer and former Wisconsin state senator, served as the keynote speaker. Coggs graduated from MATC in 1975 with an associate of arts degree.

He also earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. He encouraged the Class of 2013 to "enrich, empower and transform" because MATC has given them "a great foundation."

Dr. Michael L. Burke, MATC president, officially conferred the degrees. He shared with graduates "how proud the entire MATC community" was of their accomplishments. Burke also told the graduating class that they were ready for "the next step on your journey because your time at MATC has pre-

pared you well."

Silvia Cisneros, who graduated with an associate degree in meeting and event management, delivered the student speech. Cisneros also received the Outstanding Associate Degree Graduate Award. She shared with her fellow graduates that "it is never too late to do something great!"

Adam Joseph Anderson, who graduated with a technical diploma in machine tool operations: CNC machine setup and operations, received the Outstanding Technical Diploma Graduate Award.

MPS’ Golda Meir School, rated ‘Exceeds Expectations’ by the state, is expanding into high school Milwaukee Public Schools’ top-rated Golda Meir School, a gifted and talented school graded ‘Exceeds Expectations’ by the state of Wisconsin, is expanding to serve high school students.

“We’re excited to be offering another high-performing high school option for Milwaukee families – something they’ve been asking for,” MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said.

"Our rigorous high school is built upon the Golda Meir legacy of success – all in a small school setting,” Principal Michelle Morris Carter said.

Limited seats are available for the school’s 150-student 9th-grade class for 201415. Many seats have already been claimed by 8th-grade students at the school and others accepted through the school’s testing process. Offerings at the high school include: - A formal partnership with the College Board, Advanced Placement coursework for students in every grade and the opportunity to earn an AP diploma. AP coursework helps students earn college credit.

- Dual-credit coursework

at nearby colleges and universities - Accelerated opportunities for advanced learners - A second language requirement - Partnerships with downtown businesses, museums and cultural associations allowing for internship and externship experiences - Athletic opportunities through a partnership with MPS’ Riverside University High School The high school will grow by one grade each year thereafter until it serves grades 3-12 in two buildings: one for grades 3-5 and the other for 6-12.

The space being used for the high school is available because MPS has been strategic about using once-vacant school facilities: a former middle school immediately next door to Golda Meir now serves as the school’s grade 6-8 campus and will also serve its high school students. The high school has

been in development since 2011 as the district sought to increase high-quality high school options.

An open house is set for January 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the school’s upper-grades campus: 1615 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Milwaukee 53212. Testing for prospective students is scheduled for January 22 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the same location. Families with questions are invited to call (414) 212-3205.

The high school will add to MPS’ portfolio of highperforming high school options, including Rufus King International School, Ronald Reagan College Preparatory High School, Milwaukee School of Languages and Carmen High School of Science and Technology, all of which have been rated as among the best high schools in the Milwaukee region and the state of Wisconsin by The Washington Post and U.S. News and World Report.

Health & Fitness

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Get healthy with probiotics (part 5) Probiotics…for life!

Probiotics are beneficial microbes that live in our intestines. Coming from the Greek, meaning "for life", the term probiotic was likely coined as a witty response to the word antibiotic.

The therapeutic use of probiotics began when the benefits of "probiotic therapy" after a course of antibiotic therapy was recognized.

Many people mistakenly believe this is the only use of probiotic supplements. Probiotics have many functions in our bodies.

Got gas?

Intestinal gas is a function of a healthy digestive system.

We actually pass gas an average of ten to fifteen times per day. However, excessive amounts can be a sign that something is out of balance.

Insufficient levels of hydrochloric acid, of pancreatic enzymes, and of intestinal flora can all contribute to the problem. Food sensitivities, especially to wheat and

grains, can also cause excess flatulence.

Here are some healing options: • Eat slowly and chew your food well.

• Supplement with both probiotics and digestive enzymes. Many people find this really helps prevent gas. Take digestive enzymes (either vegetable or pancreatic) with meals and probiotics, on an empty stomach a.m. and p.m.

• Consume a diet high in fiber to train your system. Increase fiber intake slowly or you'll increase your gas exponentially. High fiber foods include whole grains, beans, and many fruits and vegetables. (See what I mean?)

• Identify lactose intolerance. Difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk, can be a cause of gas. Try eliminating dairy products for a couple of weeks and see if there is an improvement.

• Stay away from genetically modified (GMO) foods,,

Intestinal problems have increased exponentially since the introduction of these foods into the marketplace.

Be sure all animal based foods are organic.

• Other food sensitivities: sugars and grains are likely culprits. Keep a food diary to identify correlations between certain foods and resulting gas.

• Chlorophyll liquid or tablets can help prevent gas.

Take two to three times daily with meals.

• Ginger, fennel and anise are spices known to help alleviate gas. They can be purchased as capsules, taken as tea, and/or used in foods.

• While determining the cause of the problem, charcoal is a sure-fire means to eliminate unpleasant odor.

The Superman probiotic As discussed previously, a positive probiotic balance is most easily achieved by taking oral probiotic supplements regularly. To date, there are several producers of excellent pro biotic strains in the US. In addition, a powerful, award winning probiotic product has been developed in Japan.

The product is guaranteed to restore probiotic harmony in the gastrointestinal tract.

A non-dairy probiotic, it contains 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria, plus vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Altogether the ingredients include 92 types of healing plants combined and fermented for several years.

The mastermind behind this essential formula is Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, microbiologist, professor, and research scientist. Dr. Ohhira became

interested in the healing potential of probiotics when he learned that some pathogens had become resistant to every form of antibiotics.

Further exploration led to the development of TH 10, a new strain capable of combating the most potent antibiotic resistant bacteria.

This wonderful discovery was developed from the bacterial strain used to ferment tempeh, the whole bean soy food. TH 10 is 6.25 times stronger than any naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria.

Parents and teens working together to protect teens health The teenage years are a time for young people to learn and adopt healthy behaviors that will last a lifetime. Parents, schools, and communities tend to focus on preventing risky behaviors among youth, such as having sex at an early age, using tobacco, or drinking alcohol. However, a growing amount of research suggests that there is also value in promoting protective factors, which can help young people avoid risky behaviors, reduce the effects of stressful life events, and maintain or improve their health. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has identified three important areas—school connectedness, parent engagement, and positive parenting practices—that can help teens lead healthy, productive lives.

School connectedness School connectedness is the belief held by students that adults and peers care about them and their learning. Research shows that young people who feel connected to school are less likely to engage in risky behaviors and are more likely to have high grades and test scores, have better attendance, and stay in school.

Schools can do many things to promote school connectedness including encouraging students to speak openly about their ideas, needs, and worries to parents and teachers; holding regular meetings

between parents and are less likely teachers; and providto make poor ing opportunities for decisions that students to work with impact their adults, such as menhealth. toring programs.

Promoting school connectedness, par- family environments, teens school connectedness, parent engagement is closely linked to higher grades and fewer risky health behaviors. Parent engagement in schools is a shared responsibility in which schools reach out to parents in meaningful ways, and parents actively support their teen’s learning and development. To promote parent engagement, schools need to connect with parents, engage them in school-related activities, and sustain frequent communication with parents throughout the school year.

Positive parenting practices Positive parenting practices complement school connectedness and parent engagement in schools. Young people are influenced by their parents’ values, beliefs, and expectations of appropriate behavior. When parents know their child’s activities and whereabouts, clearly communicate their expecta-

ent engagement in schools, and positive parenting practices is a vital way to keep our young people healthy and set them on the path towards academic achievement and well-being.

Why was your credit card transaction denied?

We've all had these moments: You're at a romantic restaurant and the evening went great. But just as you and your date are readying to leave, an embarrassed waiter appears and whispers, "I'm afraid your card has been denied." So much for romance.

The same thing can happen at the grocery store, when shopping online or worst of all, when you're traveling and don't have a back-up means of payment. Why do credit card transactions get denied and what can you do to prevent it?

Banks and other credit card issuers have developed complex algorithms that

track credit card behavior and highlight unusual usage patterns commonly associated with card theft or fraud.

"Unusual activities" that jump out to card issuers include: • When you ordinarily use your card only rarely, but suddenly make several charges in one day.

• Making multiple purchases at the same store (or website) within a few minutes of each other.

• An unusually large purchase – say for a major appliance, furniture or jewelry.

Alert your card issuer before making large purchases.

• One small purchase

quickly followed by larger they'll quickly run up major ones. Thieves will test the charges. waters to see if a small pur• Exceeding daily spending chase is denied; if it's not, limits. Some cards limit how

much you can charge per day, even if you have sufficient remaining credit.

• Making large purchases outside your geographic area.

• Multiple out-of-town purchases in short succession. (Always tell your card issuer when you'll be traveling.)

• International purchases, whether online or while traveling. In fact, some card issuers automatically decline international transactions because of the high potential for fraud, so learn your issuer's policy before attempting one.

(Continued on pg. 14)

Why we should support our African American businesses

There are 598,916 African Americans in Milwaukee County, more than any other ethnic racial group of people. In 9 zip codes where African Americans make up a majority of the population, African Americans residents had an annual income totaling more than $3.557 billion in 2011 according to the Census Bureau Community Survey five year estimates ... " that research was revisited " ... in preparation for the January 2013 workshop on economic development at this year's 0 N E M K E Summit sponsored by the NAAACP Young Adult Committee.

As prepared by Lois Quinn, Employment and Training Institute, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee 2013."

We must support our ethnic businesses by channeling a larger proportion of this income into our neighborhoods. Some of our neighborhoods don't even have an

African American business in them. The better the prosperity around you the better prosperity you receive. " This comes by way of economics, social events it even provides emotional relief; that gets supported through your own doing and that of others. Most ethnic groups of people strive on these principles as a nexus nucleus for themselves and their love ones.

The loss of retail revenue from neighborhoods can be viewed through two perspectives (1) leakage from the neighborhood when the spending of residents shopping outside the neighborhood exceeds the spending of non-residents coming into the neighborhood to shop, and (2) when retail businesses are largely owned by outsiders and retail establishment profits immediately leave the neighborhood.

Fellow African Americans,

when was the last time anyone of you saw an outsider that owns one of the many businesses in our neighborhood shopping at any local African American business?

What is the likelihood you ever will, as things are?

It is ethically and morally wrong in principle when we adopt principles and values, make excuses to drive past an African American owned and operated business daily, weekly or on a monthly basis.

Then without thinking twice, give our hard earned dollars to those who have little to

no interest in our community or neighborhood needs or issues. Things such as creating places where a parent can take their small children.

That would prove to be a place of fun for a child.

With the parent feeling that it's a safe environment. Or addressing of issues such as the sex trafficking that young girls are being subjected to within our neighborhoods; the creation of places our young males can go without fear or worry that mischief or violence is forth coming more than not if they go somewhere.

Supporting our neighborhood businesses will allow prosperous African American businessmen and women to channel some proportion of their monies into a venture to support our community. Our African American businesses have the same "personal products" by name brand as a Mayfair Mall,

The Bronze Directory Support Our Black Businesses!

Let's show our support for our Black owned and operated businesses in our Milwaukee neighborhoods. Support is needed for the small number of ethnic business, that cater to the many services needed in our community. That provide an assortment of items and customer products that help maintain a meaningful daily existence.

Boston Store, Macy's the Downtown Mall. Personal products include: expenditures for hair care products, nonelectric articles for hair, wigs, hairpieces, oral hygiene products, articles for shaving needs, cosmetics, perfume, bath preparation, deodorants, and feminine hygiene articles. The same is true with apparel, coats, hosiery, footwear, jewelry, skirts, shirts, and nightwear. We must begin changing our way of thinking about and where our hard earned dollars are being spent, and with whom.

There are a number of quality African American businesses on Burleigh, Martin L. King Drive, Villard Ave, Hampton Avenue, North Avenue, Fond DuLac Avenue, Capitol Drive, and Teutonia Avenue.

Credit card declined (Continued from pg. 13) Other common triggers for credit card denials include: • Outdated or incorrect personal information – for example, when you're asked to enter your zip code at a gas station. Always alert your card issuer whenever you move.

• Also, make sure you don't mistype your credit card number, expiration date, security code, address or other identifying information.

• Expired card. Always check the card's expiration date. You should receive a replacement card several weeks beforehand. It's often mailed in a plain envelope, so be careful what you toss. If the new card doesn't arrive, contact the issuer to ensure it hasn't been stolen.

• You've reached your credit limit. For the sake of your credit score, try to keep your overall and individual card credit utilization ratios (credit available divided by amount used) as low as pos-

JANUARY ANNOUNCEMENTS

sible – ideally below 50, or even 30, percent.

• A temporary hold has been placed on your card – say for a rental car or hotel reservation – that puts you over your credit limit. Always ask whether a hold will be placed, how much and for how long, and factor that into your remaining balance calculations.

• You miss a monthly payment. Card issuers may let this slide once or twice, depending on your history with them, but eventually if you don't make at least the minimum payment due, your card will probably be frozen.

• The primary cardholder made changes on the account and forgot to tell other authorized users – for example, reporting his or her card stolen, lowering credit limits or removing you from the account.

One last thought: If your card is denied, don't shoot the messenger – he's only following instructions. Rather, call the card issuer and find out what happened. Embarrassment aside, it's nice to know that someone is trying to ensure your card isn't being used fraudulently.

Resolutions (Continued from pg. 4) it according to His good promises. If He authors the beginning and has disclosed the end, can we doubt then that He rules over what transpires between the two?

On one New Year’s Day morning discourse, Søren Kierkegaard made his subject “The Expectation of Faith.” And it fits, doesn’t it? Despite my deepest pessimistic instincts, in a world where Christ was born, lived, died, and rose again to new life, things can be different. I can look to God and expect Him to act, to answer, and to redeem, save, and transform my current reality.

Yes, 2013 happened. Its failures are real. Your failures are real. But so is the reality of a God Who reigns over history and Who gives us hope and anticipation for the future. While biological, historical, political, and social regularities exist — these are not mere figments of our imaginations — history is not so frozen in the death grip of sameness as worldworn cynics would have us believe.

Where, then, does this leave us? Must we all rush out to write down our New Year’s resolutions? Carefully listed out, framed, and posted on the wall with fitting scriptural citations? Not necessarily. But if nothing else, then perhaps it might leave us a little less cynical and jaded about those who do. And who knows? It might even encourage some of us to have a little more faith and expect that the God who can disrupt and reorder the course of human history through the advent of a newborn can also work a change in our own lives.
