record-breaking night. The raising more than $408,000 event exceeded $400,000 net to support League programs. proceeds for the first time by A record 19 major sponsors provided early and substantial support for this year’s event which welcomed a crowd of more than 800 guests. And, six companies presented special gifts to the Milwaukee Urban League during the ball, bringing in another record $250,000 in ball funds.

“This year’s support for the

Ball was astounding,” said Milwaukee Urban League president and CEO Ralph Hollmon.

“The fact that we crossed a new fundraising threshold is a reflection of the tremendous support that the League receives from this generous community. This support inspires us to continually look for more opportunities to serve underserved parts of our community and help increase graduation rates, decrease unemployment rates and promote the entrepreneurial strength that comes from a diverse community.”

Guests also helped boost the evening’s revenues, contributing more than $26,000 through their participation in a silent auction and a spe-

cial backpack donation. The backpacks will be filled with school supplies and distributed to children at the League’s annual fall Health Fair, through local churches and community organizations.

The crowd enjoyed a fantastic performance by the Grammy award winning group, The Manhattans, in addition to sounds from The Larry Moore Trio during the champagne reception and D.J. Phil Anderson during the post-ball reception.

Rep. Barnes statement on passage of Republican budget State Representative Mandela Barnes (D-Milwaukee) on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 voted against the 2013-2015 Republican special interest agenda Budget, a plan that expands the unaccountable voucher school program statewide, spending millions of public dollars on private schools, raises middle-class families’ property taxes, increases the state’s fiscal deficit by another half-billion dollars, and eliminates a safety net of health care and jobless benefits for those hurting in this economy.

“A decent budget ensures vast public transportation. A decent budget has a tax plan that contributes to growing the local economy, rather than higher income luxury.

A decent budget prioritizes strong public education. A decent budget creates a plat-

Mandela Barnes form for job creation,” said Barnes. “These are only a few things to grow Wisconsin, and put us in the right direction. Regrettably, this is an indecent budget.

Democrats boldly chose against offering amendments to the bill, with Barnes calling the budget “too flawed to fix.

"There is no recourse at the height of indecency.

This Republican Assembly has voted to deny health care to 85,000 people. They have voted to fund unaccountable voucher schools statewide at the expense of our public schools. They have stood with the wealthiest among us, giving tax cuts to the upper class and exploding the deficit rather than provide the middle class with the tax relief, where it would do the most good.

“The Republicans in the Assembly have left our children, families, and communities behind,” Barnes said. “This budget is entirely hopeless for the middle class.

So, what I plan to do is spend time talking with my constituents, friends and family about the direct attack on our communities.”

Voices Against Violence Coalition kick-off The Peace for Change Alliance Stop the Violence Project (SVP) began a few months ago and now is holding a Voices Against Violence Coalition Kickoff on Saturday June 29, 2013 at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Center located at 1531 W. Vliet Street, in Milwaukee from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

The Voices Against Violence Coalition is a community wide effort to bring together all those harmed by crime, including victims, communities, and offenders. “SVP is driven by victim restoration, offender accountability, and community involvement,” Tracey Dent, founder of Peace for Change Alliance said in a statement.

The event on June 29 will include a Resource Fair, involving Clean Slate Milwaukee - a program to assist nonviolent felons clear or ex-

punge records, child support assistance, and a few elected officials will be on hand for the kick-off event.

The Voices Against Violence Walk begins at 10 a.m. with a starting point at the King Center on 15th and Vliet Streets. The main portion of the day begins at 11:30 a.m., where guest speakers will be providing personal testimony of how violence has affected their lives. Community leaders will be available to speak on how violence has affected their neighborhoods and districts.

Voices Against Violence Coalition members include Workforce Development, Wisconsin Jobs Now, Holton Youth Center, Career Youth Development, Milwaukee Clean Slate, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Center and the Silver Spring Neighborhood Center.

Frederick Douglass statue unveiled at U.S. Capitol A statue honoring activist, abolitionist, author, and former slave Frederick Douglass was unveiled at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, June 19, 2013. A crowd was on hand to watch the dedication of the statue inside Emancipation Hall.

Douglass becomes the fourth African American with a statue in the U.S. Capitol, joining Rosa Parks, Sojourner Truth and Martin Luther King Jr. The ceremony honoring Douglass was organized by House Speaker John Boehner

and attended by Vice President Biden as well as some of Frederick Douglass’ descendents, among others.

Sen. Harry Reid took the opportunity to bring attention to District of Columbia statehood since that was also an issue Douglass championed.

Supreme Court strikes down Defense of Marriage Act, paves way for gay marriage to resume in California

In a pair of landmark decisions, the Supreme Court on Wednesday, June 26, 2013, struck down the 1996 law blocking federal recognition of gay marriage, and it allowed gay marriage to resume in California by declining to decide a separate case.

The court invalidated the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to gay couples who are legally married in their states, including Social Security survivor benefits, immigration rights and family leave.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority in a 5-4 decision, said that the act wrote inequality into federal law and violated the Fifth Amendment’s protection of equal liberty.

“DOMA’s principal effect is to identify a subset of state-sanctioned marriages and make them unequal,” he wrote.

In the second case, the

court said that it could not rule on a challenge to Proposition 8, a ban on gay marriage in California passed by voters there in 2008, because supporters of the ban lacked the legal standing to appeal a lower court’s decision against it.

The court did not rule on the constitutionality of gay marriage, but the effect of the decision will be to allow same-sex marriage to resume in California. That decision was also 5-4, written by Chief Justice John Roberts.

It was not clear when samesex marriages would resume in California. Los Angeles County said in a statement that it was waiting for a technical step by lower courts — the lifting of a stay that stopped gay marriage in California — but was prepared to begin issuing marriage licenses and performing ceremonies for gay couples.

“It’s right and fitting that Frederick Douglass, this extraordinary man, this unflinching voice for freedom, this unyielding advocate for justice should be honored with an enduring monument.

It is just and proper that more than 600,000 American citizens who reside in the District of Columbia should finally have a statue representing them here in the United States Capitol,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said.

Reid continued, discussing how D.C. residents have all

the burdens of citizenship and escaped slavery, never but not all of the rights. surrendered in the face of “Washington, D.C., resi- oppression. dents have fought and died in every American war, just like residents of Ohio, Kentucky, or any other state.

Washington, D.C., residents deserve the same right to self-government and congressional representation as residents of any other state,” Reid said.

The statue of Douglass is 7 ft. and 1700 pounds.

St. Mark's Boy Scout Troop 445 spreads anti-tobacco message throughout neighborhood

Staff Photo

Kaleb Hamilton and other members of Boy Scout Troop 445, from St. Mark AME Church, spent a portion of their time on Saturday, June 15, 2013, stenciling anti-tobacco messages on the sidewalk near their church. Kaleb said the scout organization he belongs to is waging a war against corporate tobacco interest in the country because tobacco was now being placed in products like candy, which can become addictive and harmful to people of all ages who may unknowingly ingest the product.

A curious little reminder.

Clement Church hosts neighborhood bar-b-que and street ministry

Staff Photos

Clement Church, 1436 W. Atkinson Avenue, hosted a neighborhood Bar-BQue on the corner of 15th Street and W. Atkinson Avenue on Saturday, June 15, 2013. The purpose of the event was to have residents of the neighborhood come and meet their neighbors as well as church members. There was plenty of food and drinks, activities and a bike raffle. There was also prayer, free consultation, and preaching, singing and fun activities for children and adults. Pastor Willie Coleman of Clement Church said the idea of having the community event began five years ago, and during their very first event they gave away a color digital TV during a raffle, which was purchased from Wal-Mart. The event now attracts suburban churches, including Elmbrook and Northbrook. This year’s community festival attracted 500 people and the planning for next year’s event is already underway.

Budget passage is shameful misrepresentation of Wisconsin values Senator Nikiya Harris’ (DMilwaukee) statement on the passage of the 2013-2015 Wisconsin budget: “We had a real opportunity to help struggling Wisconsinites today and turn our state from dismal to prosperous. But we didn’t.

“Democrats offered over 50 amendments, many of which multiple Republican colleagues have vocally supported in the past, but refused to vote for today because they were from the other side of the aisle. Instead of providing or listening to good ideas for our state, Republicans were petulant and engaged in a blame game that doesn’t help anyone.

"Wisconsinites have made it clear that they are tired of bickering and want us to work together to find real solutions for the very serious problems in our state. Turns out, it is very hard to talk to people who can’t hear you because they are too busy sticking their thumbs in their ears and waving their fingers at you.

“People in Wisconsin want to be self-reliant. They’ve been waiting for three years for 250,000 promised jobs to be able to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. But instead of supporting sensible ideas that will help create good paying jobs,

Sen. Nikiya Harris this budget punishes the very families that have been pushed out of the middle class.

"Does anyone really think that requiring twice as many job searches for people who are on unemployment will help them find a job twice as fast? When there aren’t any jobs available and we focus on making the unemployed read a skimpy ‘want ads’ section over and over again, our priorities are backwards.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to invest in workforce growth programs and incentivize buying from in-state businesses?

“This budget is a shameful misrepresentation of our state’s values. Wisconsin families deserve better and I’m sorry that we failed to spend $70 billion of taxpayer money in a way that mirrors our true priorities.”

The long summer The Miami Heat completed their domination of the NBA by winning their third championship this past week. With the crowning of the Heat the NBA season is over. Basketball season is over and it will be more than a month before football season starts. The long summer now begins.

Many people live their lives from season to season. Not seasons as in winter, spring and fall, but basketball to football. This may seem odd but think about how much time the average American puts into these sports. The time spent talking, arguing and watching football and basketball in America is astounding. What then will Americans do now that the two most popular sports are on vacation?

Baseball is often referred to as the National Pastime.

Baseball has what seems like the longest season in professional sports. The problem baseball faces in America is the game is boring. Many people like a baseball team but refuse to watch a game.

The length and lack of excitement lulls many to change the channel during telecasts.

Also during the summer baseball is just reaching the midway point of the season. The season runs until late September. Many sport fans will only watch during the month of September or playoffs.

Soccer is supposed to be the top sport in the world.

That’s where the USA is different from the rest of the

of NBA games being rigged.

Every fan will have a concept on why the Spurs lost or the Heat won. These talks will go on until mid-July.

By mid-July the sports fan will shift out of a basketball mindset and go into football. The media will assuage the transition by doing specials leading up to NFL camps opening. Once NFL camps open then there will be a daily dose of NFL news to swamp the most rabid fan. The NFL jerseys will come out of the closet. You will feel the energy pick up around NFL cities. The long hot summer will be over and Americans will happily be engaged in sport again.

I got your back black on black crime no longer exist, home ownership is more affordable, health care becomes more accessible, higher education becomes more available, poverty is eradicated, wars cease, justice become equal, all forms of discrimination end, the right to vote is not questioned and there is equal pay for equal work… just to name a few. I know your wish list is just as long.

world. There are pro soccer teams in the USA but the number of fans don’t compare to the NFL and NBA. One reason is soccer has not gained a grip on the American psyche like football, basketball or even baseball has.

There has been interest in soccer recently, more than the past but the soccer fan is still a minority in America.

What then will the lost basketball/ football fan do during the month or so until NFL camps open? What will fill the void of excitement that these diehard fans crave like crack heads needing a hit? The NBA draft will generate some excitement but there is no LeBron James in the new class. The MLB AllStar game will also fill a small amount of the void.

Many fans will relive the NBA season over beers, dinner, wherever. The NBA Finals will be debated for a good three weeks. The question of why the Spurs left James open in game seven will be discussed more than the Presidential election.

The Spurs blowing game six will bring up conversations

Rebuilding our Community Some people talk a good game, but when something has to be said or done, they too often are missing in action. As you know, talk is really cheap and does not pay any bills. And that is where we are today, a whole lot of people are talking about what should be done, could be done and needs to be done. But that is about it, all talk and… no action.

A lot of people participate in wishful thinking, and that is “OK.” I certainly do. I wish for a day when neighborhoods become safer,

But taking the next step, to put our words into action is the hard part. To speculate or to take the risk is what frightens people, for no one wants to be seen as a failure or loser and rejection is hard to stomach.

Education

Community Column

By Michael R. Lovell, Chancellor University of Wisconsin Milwaukee In among the 3,498 individuals eligible for graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee this semester were two small but significant subgroups of students. Along with construction projects we have under way, those students represent significant building blocks for the future of our community.

Drew Kartos and Lilliann Paine made up the first significant student subgroup.

They were the first people to earn degrees from the Joseph J. Zilber School of Public Health, with both earning a Master of Public Health degree.

We continue to be ex-

Building our community’s future

tremely excited about this school and the ability of its faculty, staff and students to help health care professionals better understand and improve the health of area residents and the environment in which we all live. Location was of great importance to us when the school was constructed on North 10th Street alongside one of the former Pabst Brewery buildings.

Among our building tenants is the City of Milwaukee Health Department and we’re just a few blocks from Aurora Sinai Medical Center – a major Milwaukee healthcare provider.

The second student subgroup was made up of 10 individuals earning their Master of Freshwater Sciences and Technology degrees from the School of Fresh-

Michael R. Lovell water Sciences. The school is already attracting students from all over the world even though the central educational facilities for the school are extremely limited. Those limits, however, are just a short-term challenge as construction continues on the $53 million addition to the school’s main facility at the east end of Greenfield Av-

enue.

We received extremely good news about those facilities in June when Kikkoman Foods Inc. – the international soy sauce manufacturer with its largest production facility located in Walworth, Wis. – announced it would help create the Kikkoman “Healthy Waters” Environmental Health Laboratories.

Those laboratories will be a key research facility at the Greenfield Avenue site.

Another UWM facility under construction also celebrated a milestone in June.

The final beam was hoisted into place at the Innovation Accelerator, the first new building at the university’s Innovation Campus along Watertown Plank Road in Wauwatosa.

Many friends of the uni-

versity gathered to watch the beam get raised into place and also check out the future construction site for ABB Inc., the first private development at Innovation Campus.

UWM already has research projects ongoing with ABB, a global corporation specializing in power and automation technologies, and the new facility on our property will create even more opportunities for ABB; our faculty, staff and students; and the community at large.

From small groups of students to large construction projects, UWM is very much focusing on the future of Milwaukee and the surrounding communities. With our partners, we are putting together the building blocks for a solid future.

Public encouraged to ask questions about budget provision Legislation potentially restricts release of voucher school data

MADISON — State Superintendent Tony Evers issued a statement regarding the public information and open government conflict posed by legislation the Wisconsin Assembly passed June 25, 2013 as part of the 201315 state budget.

“The Department of Public Instruction takes seriously its responsibility to provide information on taxpayer funded schooling to the public, including parents and the media. Setting a mandated system of preapproval by publically funded private schools for the release of their data to individuals, including prospective parents, is wrong, and would never

When a stakeholder takes a stand, they need to know that they are not doing this alone and that someone has their back. For a stakeholder, it’s not just about them, per se, but also for those they represent, and especially those who have no voice and who suffer in silence.

be legislated or tolerated for public schools.

“There is no spin to casting this backroom deal as a retreat in transparency for programs costing state taxpayers almost $400 million over the next two years.

“Every taxpayer should read the language of the whole amendment and ask the question: “Why is this needed for publically funded private schools and not public schools?”

Bogus reading instruction is the 800-pound quack in many classrooms

By: Bruce D. Price

The single most important aspect of education is reading.

If children are not reading, their entire education comes to a halt. That’s what has happened in millions of lives.

All the statistics for many decades reveal a curious surprise: our public schools don’t actually know how to teach reading or, more likely, they pretend not to know.

This is a bizarre scandal, especially given that children have been learning to read for thousands of years, and 100 years ago this country was thought to be moving toward universal literacy.

An odd thing happened circa 1931. The Education Establishment pushed looksay (or Whole Word) into the schools. This method produced bad results, so much so that in 1955 Rudolf Flesch wrote a famous book explaining why Johnny wasn’t learning to read.

Mainly, Flesch explained, children need phonetics to learn to read a phonetic language. Imagine that.

Then a second odd thing happened. The Education Establishment refused to acknowledge a blunder. Instead, they concocted catchy new jargon (e.g., “Whole Language”), cherry-picked research to prove their method worked even though it clearly didn’t, and heaped abuse on Flesch.

The result is that the edu-

cational landscape became and remains a swamp of sophistry and outright lies.

Even well-intentioned people can hardly have an intelligent conversation about reading. Unfortunately, this confusion serves as protective cover for the perpetuation of bad theory.

Still, phonics did regain favor; and Whole Word, in its pure form, started losing credibility. Circa 1999 the Education Establishment had to stage an abrupt strategic retreat. They conceded minor points so they could hang on to the most harmful feature, that being the exaltation of memorizing Whole Words. The elite educators basically declared: okay, phonics isn’t so bad after all but kids still have to start by memorizing 200+ sightwords.

Note the absurd contradiction. Phonics is important but not right away. So now we hear endless chatter favoring Balanced Literacy and “no one method suits every child.” All of this is propaganda which allows the Education Establishment to make children begin reading instruction just as they did 20, 40 and 60 years ago, in the darkest days of Whole Word.

Children are no longer subjected to Whole Word in its pure form but they are subjected to a muddled, deceitful version of Whole Word that is almost as harmful.

Many children are learning two methods at once, and if

they become good at wholeword-reading, their brains are less likely to become good at phonetic reading. Collateral damage includes ADHD and dyslexia.

The common denominator running through every bad idea from 1931 to now is the notion that you can lean to read by memorizing English words as graphic designs or configurations. Suppose a teacher shows you this design, &+; and tells you to pronounce it “car.” You have to stare at that design, preferably write it many times, and keep telling your memory, that’s “car.” The human brain doesn’t have much trouble with a few dozen designs. But in a typical first-grade, children are told to memorize 100 designs, with another hundred or so the next year, and another hundred the year after that.

Most children simply give up, overwhelmed and defeated.

This design “&+” is an example of what is typically called a sight-word. This is the essential idiocy in all the bad teaching methods. English words are presented to children as a sight-word, something they memorize on sight. There are no letters, no sounds, no blends, no phonics, nothing that is actually necessary if someone wants to learn to read.

For the reader of this article to fully understand the nightmare that was created in our public schools, you have to think of something that you have tried to memorize in your own life, for example, electrical symbols, weather symbols, currency symbols, flags, phone numbers, license plates, something that you were supposed to memorize “on sight.”

Or perhaps you studied art history in college and had to memorize scores of paintings. It wasn’t easy but perhaps doable. Remember, however, that naming a painting is successful if you can do it in a few seconds.

But reading speed would be to name three or four paintings per second. Virtually no one can do this.

My goal here is to have everyone feel the frustration and hopelessness of trying to memorize hundreds of sight-words with instant recall. It just can’t be done unless someone has a nearly photographic memory.

But memorizing hundreds of sight-words is precisely what most of American education is based on. Wherever we look around the country (or the world) and find children struggling to read English, you can be sure that Whole Word or Whole Language poisons the air.

Note that the Education Establishment, when they embraced Balanced Literacy in 1999, basically confessed that everything they had been claiming for the previous 70 years was a mistake.

Remember, they had declared phonics evil, wrong, a waste of time. Suddenly they said: never mind! Why would anyone trust these people?

They had created 50,000,000 functional illiterates by demonizing a method they now declared essential. Now they’ve been creating more functional illiterates by insisting on sight-words in the early grades.

This dogma is still peddled on hundreds of sites: “Sight words consist of 220 of the most frequently used words in printed English, excluding nouns. Learning to recognize these words instantly by sight is essential to developing reading fluency and comprehension.“ Essential, it says.

Destructive is what it should say.

Visit a forum concerned with elementary education or reading, and you’ll hear one wobbly little alibi after another for hanging on to this Frankenstein’s monster that has done so much to hurt American culture.

Further confusion comes because some people say sight-word but they’re really thinking of vocabulary words. Of course, everyone needs to learn vocabulary words. But these words are learned in multiple ways: meaning, spelling, phonetics, similarity with other words, rhymes, personal associations, etc. The memory can seize on many factors. But “sight word” is a technical term for words memorized in only one way--shapes the eye can see.

Sight-word, both the linguistic term and the instructional concept, is a mistake.

We don’t need it at all. Everything flows more smoothly if children learn the letters of the alphabet so they can say them and write them. Then they learn the sounds that letters represent; then they learn the blends of those sounds. Very quickly children know how to read. It all happens in 4-8 months. No sight-words required.

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Fat belly or flat belly, you choose (part 2) Believe it or not, now you actually do have a choice. Put aside your reasons for your tummy: runs in the family, baby weight, no will power, no budget for liposuction, or (my personal favorite) "getting older". Instead, be unreasonable - and go for it! Let the Flat Belly Diet be your guide.

In the new book from Rodale Press, Prevention editor-in-chief Liz Vaccariello and co-writer Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, give us a breakthrough 32 day plan for flattening our bellies. And, they promise, "Not a single crunch required."

This week we will learn all about MUFA's.

Eat your MOO-Fahs!

What?! ! ! Sounds like bad language doesn't it? Nope.

This language is actually bringing good news. MOOfahs is the flat belly authors' nickname for MUFAs, monounsaturated fatty acids.

We have been writing about the health benefits of these fatty acids for years. The most famous MUFA carrier is the olive.

In 2007, groundbreaking information about MUFAs was published in Diabetes Care. Spanish researchers found that a diet rich in MU-

FAs inhibits the accumulation of weight in the belly.

Paniaqua, et. al., looked at three different diets, all containing the same number of calories. The diets were 1) high in saturated fat; 2) high in carbs; and 3) high in MUFAs. All the participants had both large stomach girth and insulin resistance. The amazing result was that the MUFA diet reduced subcutaneous belly fat and visceral body fat. This result is particularly astonishing in the context of insulin resistance.

Because MUFAs are the only food ever shown to have this effect, they are the centerpiece of the Flat Belly Diet. The use of MUFAs in every meal is what makes this diet unique. It is specifically

designed to help us lose belly fat!

What are the MUFAs? There are five categories of monounsaturated fatty acids: 1. Oils 2. Olives 3. Nuts and seeds 4.Avocados 5. Dark chocolate Let's take a look at each category, beginning with oils.

Although Vaccariello and Sass list "high-oleic" safflower oil as the richest in MUFAs at 76 percent, this is not true. Macadamia nut oil is the winner at 80 percent.

Possibly because of the high cost of fuel, this product is not as easily available as it was previously. In my experience it is the tastiest plant oil.

My recommendation is extra virgin olive oil. At 76 percent MUFA, it delivers health benefits not available in other oils. It has antibacterial properties and can even kill H. Pylori, the ulcer-causing bacteria. Its antioxidant capacity helps prevent heart disease and cancer. Plus, it helps reduce inflammation.

Of course, you can go straight to the olive itself, using them as garnish, salad ingredients, in Italian sauces, and in tapenade, the classic chopped olive spread.

Macadamia nuts are the kings of the MUFAs. Sunflower seeds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans each have their claim to fame. Sunflower seeds contain a fatty acid that has been shown to protect women against heart disease. Walnuts are high in omega-3s, giving protection against heart disease and inflammation. Unsalted pistachios have been shown to normalize blood pressure during stress. Pecans contain more antioxidant power than any other tree nut.

Avocados are "fat" with nutrition. They contain lutein, the eye protector, and beta-sitosterol, a cholesterollowering plant sterol. Put in salads and salsa, they more than double the absorption

of carotenoids, antioxidants known to protect against macular degeneration. They are also rich in fiber, vitamin Kl, and potassium.

In Nutrition News "Whole, Fresh, & Lively", they covered plant-based antioxidants.

We introduced the health benefits of chocolate. Just remember, that's only dark chocolate.

Once you add milk/cream to chocolate, you can subtract the antioxidant benefits.

Further, chocolate is fattening. A serving size of Dove dark chocolate ( 40 grams) contains 210 calories and 13 grams of fat, 8 of which are saturated.

And this is where the MUFAs come in. Some of this saturated fat is in the form of stearic acid. Stearic acid, an unusual saturated fat, is converted by the liver into the "healthier" monounsaturated fat. And, folks, after an hour of searching online, this is as close as I could come to ascertaining the amount of MUFA in chocolate. Negligible. On a diet that is caloriebased, chocolate is not where I would secure my MUFAs.

Even ‘silent’ strokes can harm memory, thinking

Study found many older patients showed signs of damage, even without full-blown stroke diagnosis

People who experience stroke-like symptoms -- socalled “silent strokes” -but do not have full-blown strokes are still at higher risk for memory and thinking problems, a new study finds.

Researchers reporting June 19 in the journal Neurology said the findings emphasize the need to be vigilant when any sign of stroke occurs.

“Our study highlights the importance of discussing stroke-like symptoms with your family doctor, even if they don’t last long,” study author Dr. Brendan Kelley, of the University of Cincinnati, said in a journal news release. “These symptoms can be a warning sign that a person is at increased risk of stroke or problems with thinking or memory.”

Kelley’s team’s study involved nearly 24,000 people, average age 64, who completed stroke-symptom questionnaires at the start of the study and every six months after that for at least two years. Their memory and thinking skills were also tested yearly.

During the study, 30 percent of the participants experienced stroke-like

symptoms but did not suffer a stroke. Those people were more likely to develop memory and thinking problems than those without such symptoms.

Memory and thinking

problems were much more likely to occur in both whites and blacks with stroke-like symptoms (11 percent and 16 percent, respectively) than in people without such symptoms (5 percent and 10

percent).

Another expert said knowing the symptoms of stroke is key.

“It is important that people who experience an inability to speak, slurred speech,

weakness, double vision, dizziness or numbness on one side of the body undergo [emergency care] for treatment of stroke,” said Dr. Rafael Alexander Ortiz, (Continued on pg. 15)

The study was published

online June 17 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Overall, more than 850,000 Americans with HIV had not achieved the treatment goal of viral suppression. This included 75 percent of men with HIV, 79 percent of blacks, 74 percent of Hispanics, and 70 percent of whites.

“Individuals, health care providers, health departments and government agencies must all work together to increase the numbers of people living with HIV who are aware of their status, linked to and retained in care, receiving treatment and adherent to treatment,” concluded researchers led by H.

“In 2011, the HIV field was shocked to learn that only about a quarter of individuals living with HIV were successfully receiving HIV treatment,” Drs. Katerina Christopoulos and Diane Havlir, of the University of California, San Francisco, wrote in an accompanying commentary.

“The sobering numbers of those missing out on effective treatment because they did not know they were infected and those who knew their status but did not seek care spurred collaboration between the HIV treatment and prevention movements, two areas with different funding streams that often operated independently of one another,” they noted.

“Already the HIV community has mobilized to further develop and study interventions that address bottlenecks in the cascade. Achieving an AIDS-free generation will be within reach if, and only if, these efforts succeed,” Christopoulos and Havlir concluded.

“Some strokes can be ‘silent’ or asymptomatic because of the location within the brain,” Ortiz said.

Health care workers should ask questions regarding a potential history of silent strokes in patients, he added, so therapies might be initiated that could “decrease the chance of memory problems and, more importantly, to decrease the chance of a lifethreatening stroke.”

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

How to dispute a credit card charge Have you ever ordered something online that was delivered damaged or never arrived at all? Or been double-billed by a merchant?

Or spotted a charge on your credit card statement you didn’t make? Most of us have.

Fortunately, the 1975 Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) protects your rights during such credit card billing disputes. It also outlines the process for contesting charges made to your account.

Here’s how it works: First, FCBA protection applies only to “open-end” credit account transactions those involving credit cards or revolving charges (e.g., department store accounts).

It doesn’t cover installment contracts you repay on a fixed schedule, such as car loans.

Billing errors that are covered by the FCBA include: • Fraudulent or unauthorized use of your credit card, whether it was stolen or merchants charged unapproved items to your account.

• Charges that list the wrong date or amount.

• Charges for goods or services you either did not accept or that weren’t delivered as agreed.

• Math errors, such as being charged twice for a transaction.

• Failure to post payments or other credits.

(Note: Report suspected fraud immediately. By law, you’re only liable for the first $50 in unauthorized charges; however, most card issuers waive that liability if you report the charges quickly.)

Review all billing statements carefully upon receipt because in order to be covered under FCBA rules, most disputed transactions must be reported within 60 days of the statement date on which the error appeared.

First, contact the merchant and try to resolve the dispute directly with them. If this good-faith resolution attempt doesn’t work, you can escalate the process by filing a written report with your credit card issuer within the

60-day window.

The card issuer is then obligated to investigate the dispute on your behalf. They must acknowledge your complaint, in writing, within 30 days of receipt and resolve the dispute with the merchant within two billing cycles ‘ but not more than 90 days.

Send your letter via certified mail to the card issuer’s billing inquiry address, not the payment address. Include your name, address, account number and a description

of the billing error. Include copies of sales slips or other documents that support your position.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), you may withhold payment of the disputed amount and related charges during the investigation. In fact, many card issuers may voluntarily remove the charge until the matter is resolved since they are representing you, their client, in the dispute.

If it turns out your bill contains a mistake, the credi-

tor must explain, in writing, the corrections that will be made. In addition to crediting your account, they must remove all finance charges, late fees, or other charges related to the error.

However, if the card issuer’s investigation determines that you owe part ‘ or all ‘ of the disputed amount, they must promptly provide you with a written explanation. If you disagree with the investigation’s results, you may further dispute your claim with the creditor, as outlined by the FTC at www.consumer. ftc.gov/articles/0219-faircredit-billing. (That site also contains a sample dispute letter and other helpful FCBA information.)

If you believe a creditor has violated the FCBA, you may file a complaint with the FTC or sue them in court.

Hopefully, you’ll never have a billing dispute that goes to these extremes. But it’s good to know how consumer laws protect you, just in case.

Think Tank leaders working to create economic development fund Several individuals met Saturday, June 22, 2013 at Coffee Makes You Black for a lively discussion on creating an economic development fund to assist individuals from the African American community in creating new businesses in the black community. One of the leaders stated that while the State of Wisconsin receives money based on economic and poverty levels in a community, very little of that money flows back into poverty stricken areas. And that is why members of this think tank see the need for an economic development, which would be controlled by the stakeholders who provide the seed money for this novel idea. MemStaff Photo bers of this think tank also envision assisting business owners in writing business plans and how to manage their cash flow. One of the participants shared the business success of a young man needing only a lawn mower and a edge trimmer, which he was assisted in obtaining. After acquiring the equipment, the individual went out and cut lawns all summer and “never asked for any more money that summer.” Stories of this nature could be replicated many more times. Having a robust business climate in the black community would allow these businesses to assist in

the funding of African World Festival, Juneteenth Day and other cultural activities, which occur in the black community. Leading this discussion last Saturday were: Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce representative Reuben Hopkins, and Tony Courtney.

The other think tank leaders participating were: Charlotte Payne, Leander Burks, Attorney Roy Evans and Eric Weaver.

Heating Things Up:

Mack's Heating tips for the home owner

By James Mack

Dryer fires and how to prevent them In most homes, the clothes dryer has become an indispensable part of family living. And for families with children, laundry often seems never-ending. But, many families don’t know that clothes dryers can be a leading cause of fires in the home – approximately 15,000 every year. Most dryer manufacturers these days, rigorously inspect, certify and test dryers while they are still in the factory to ensure that safety standards are met.

Once you bring them home, a little preventative maintenance can keep them in good working order.

What causes fires?

One of the most common causes of dryer fires is lack of maintenance. When lint traps aren’t cleaned as often as they should be, the resulting build-up in the screen or other areas can cause the dryer to perform poorly, operate at elevated temperatures and possibly overheat – with dangerous consequences. Vent systems must also be checked and cleaned to maintain proper air flow for the same reasons.

Problems may also occur if consumers place improper items in their dryers, such as foam backed rugs or athletic shoes, or vent their appliances with plastic or vinyl exhaust materials. Make sure that whatever you put in your dryer is approved and safe

to place in a dryer. When in doubt, check the washing instructions on the tag of the clothing or consult the manufacturers website for more information.

What can you do?

An important safeguard your family can take is to ensure that your dryer has rigid or flexible metal venting and ducting materials to help sustain airflow. This will also reduce operating costs and extend the life of the dryer and clothing due to lower drying temperatures.

Additionally: • Clean the lint trap before and after drying each load of clothes.

• Don’t forget to clean the back of the dryer where lint can be trapped.

• The interior of the dryer and venting system should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

If you notice the drying time is longer, clean the vent system thoroughly to ensure proper airflow.

• Replace plastic or vinyl exhaust hoses with rigid or

flexible metal venting.

• Do not dry clothing/fabric on which there is anything flammable (alcohol, cooking oils, gasoline, spot removers, dry-cleaning solvents, etc.).

Flammable substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Don’t forget to read manufacturers’ warnings in use and care manuals that accompany new dryers. Also, warning markings can usually be found on the inside of the dryer’s lid and take only minutes to read.

Did you know that?

Clothes dryers can be found in 80 percent, or 81.5 million homes throughout the United States.

A full load of wet clothes placed in a dryer contains about one half gallon of water. As water is removed, lint is created from the clothes.

Clothes dryers are one of the most expensive appliances in your home to operate.

The longer it runs, the more money it costs you.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that 15,500 fires associated with clothes dryers occur annually. These fires account for an average of 10 deaths and 310 injuries and more than $84.4 million in property damage annually.

On a positive note, the number of clothes dryer fires has dropped by 35 percent from the 24,000 fires that occurred annually, on average,

P.C. or not to P.C., that is the question?

There are many gadget choices that clutter our electronic market these days and folks are beginning to ask themselves whether the personal computer (P.C.) is still a useful device to have in their homes, considering the vast increases in computing power that the laptop has and recently the increasing power being put into tablets.

We all know that a laptop can do most things a P.C. does so the question really is should one buy a laptop or a tablet.

First, one has to decide what tasks are mission critical to you and make sure that the device has the capability to run the software or the "app" necessary for that task.

If you are a gamer then at this juncture the tablet may not be the most powerful tool today and your choices may be between a laptop or a desktop.

“Mister and Lady Day: Billie Holiday and the Dog Who Loved Her” by Amy Novesky, illustrations by Vanessa Brantley Newton Nobody listens to a thing you say.

Grown-ups are always telling you to hush, be quiet, don’t yell, and always use your inside voice (even outside). You know you’re never supposed to keep secrets, but don’t be a tattle-tale. Talk louder but stop shouting.

Don’t make so much noise.

Speak up, the grown-ups say, but the only people who listen – really listen to a kid like you - are your pets.

And in the new book “Mister and Lady Day” by Amy Novesky, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton, you’ll see that even famous people know who’ll lend an ear…

When Billie Holiday was a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a star.

And that’s just what hap-

pened: she grew up to be a famous jazz singer.

People called her Lady Day and they loved to hear her voice. But even big-time stars get lonely sometimes, and they need someone to listen to their dreams and fears.

Lady Day had her dogs.

There were, in fact, lots of dogs in Lady Day’s life.

There was a tiny poodle she carried in her pocket.

She had a little spotted beagle, and two Chihuahuas that she fed with a baby bottle, a giant Great Dane, and a mediumsized terrier named Bessie Mae Moocho. There was a wandering mutt with a sad face who ran away but always found his way back home.

But the dog that Lady Day loved the most was a boxer

sang to him. When Lady Day performed at fancy clubs in Harlem, Mister was there – and sometimes, he even had a steak!

When the show was over, he guarded Lady Day in her dressing room.

Then, one day when her career seemed to be at its best, Lady Day got into trouble. She had to leave home, and Mister couldn’t come. She cried and cried, and promised him that she’d come home as soon as possible. c.2013, Harcourt She wasn’t sure if she’d $16.99 / $20.99 Canada ever see him again. If she 32 pages did, would he remember named Mister. her? Would Mister be Wherever Lady Day was, happy to see her when she Mister was there, too.

Milwaukee Art Museum presents summer-long exhibitions by African American artists Continuing its yearlong celebration honoring American art and artists, the Milwaukee Art Museum presents 30 Americans, showcasing the

work of thirty-one contemporary African American artists who tackle issues around race, religion, gender, sexuality, and cultural identity.

Opening June 14, this wideranging survey drawn from the Rubell Family Collection, Miami, explores ideas central to what it means to be an

ART RACE IDENTITY

30 Americans is a dynamic exploration of contemporary American art.

Paintings, sculptures, photographs, and more by many of the most important African American artists of the last three decades powerfully examine cultural identity and artistic legacy.

American.

“The art in 30 Americans is provocative and challenging, and will explore how our identities and histories are varied, yet we are all still Americans,” said Milwaukee Art Museum Director Daniel Keegan. “This is a vastly different exhibition from anything that the Museum has done in recent years.”

30 Americans features nearly eighty photographs, paintings, sculptures, installations, and works on paper and in digital media by Jean-Michel Basquiat, iona rozeal brown, Nick Cave, Robert Colescott, Leonardo Drew, Rashid Johnson, Glenn Ligon, Shinique Smith, Hank Willis Thomas, Mickalene Thomas, Kara Walker, and Kehinde Wiley, among others.

In conjunction with the 30 Americans exhibition, the Museum is presenting thirty works by thirty Wisconsin African American artists in Schroeder Galleria, entitled “Wisconsin 30.” The exhibition was designed to complement the works on view in 30 Americans and was organized by the Museum, in collaboration with the African American Art Alliance support group, and the Haggerty Museum at Marquette University.

“Our feature exhibition, 30 Americans, is about identity and creating dialogue, as well as the achievements of these thirty-one contemporary artists, considered some of the best in the world,” said Brady

when you’ve got “Mister and Lady Day” in the house.

By giving young readers a sense of Billie Holiday’s deep love of dogs, author Amy Novesky makes this true story into one that kids – especially kids with cherished pets – can completely understand.

Novesky lightly glosses over the kind of trouble that Lady Day found, but curious kids will find more of an explanation on the last page. On the flipside, littler children will love looking at the colorful collage-watercolors by Vanessa Brantley Newton.

Overall, if you’ve got a young animal lover in your life, put this tale on the shelf and stick around. “Mister and Lady Day” is a book that 3-to-8-year-olds will want to listen to again and again.

Roberts, chief curator for the Milwaukee Art Museum.

“We thought it was the perfect opportunity to include regional African American artists and highlight their achievements.”

The installation includes artists such as Marlon Banks, Reginald Baylor, Tyanna Buie, Anwar Floyd-Pruitt, Christopher McIntyre, Evelyn Patricia Terry, Della Wells, and Iverson White.

“The works presented will help foster dialogue within the community and showcase the outstanding regional work being produced,” said Roberts.

As part of the exhibitions, the Museum is offering a variety of family programming, and several free admission days for the entire community. Included in the programming are lectures, videos, Lakefront Festival of Art (June 21-23), Kohl’s Art Generation Family Sundays (July 21), and “MAM After Dark,” an after-hours party (June 14 and August 16).

More information is available at mam.org.

The exhibition runs through September 8. Adults are $15, seniors and students are $12. Kids age 12 and under get in free every day, as do Wisconsin teachers, veterans, and active military and their families. The first Thursday of every month is free for everyone, thanks to Target.

The State of Equality and Justice in America

Needed: Action agenda to educate our children

At 5:00 a.m. and, careful not to wake her daughter and two sleeping grandsons, Helen gets dressed for the morning shift at a DC hotel kitchen.

“My supervisor is a kid. I hate it, but this job is all that’s keeping us from moving back to the shelter,” Helen told me, adding that, if they get lucky, her daughter Erika might earn a little extra, braiding hair in between caring for the boys and applying for work.

Helen once had high hopes that Erika, her youngest child, would become the first college graduate in the family.

But with the burden of more than $20,000 in defaulted student loan debt and fees, the prospects that her daughter will ever return to finish her degree are bleak.

It’s the story of Helen’s family, and millions more like her.

The constricting economic burdens created by excessive student loan debt, not only prevents young people from building wealth, it spirals outward in concentric circles ensnaring parents, children, grandchildren, strangling the economic growth of entire communities.

Student loan debt now exceeds $1 trillion, and not surprisingly, African-Americans and other underserved mi-

nority students are disproportionately affected.

According to the Center for American Progress, 81 percent of African-Americans borrow money at higher interest rates than their peers, which creates greater financial vulnerability. More than 13 percent of students whose loans came due in 2009 defaulted within three years for non-payment, a situation exacerbated by high unemployment, a struggling economy, and the effects of the Great Recession.

We need to shift the paradigm in a way that fundamentally uproots the assumptions underlying low-income students and public higher education funding. What if institutions which serve disproportionate percentages of low-income, first generation traditionally underrepresented students were funded based upon the socio-economic and demographic profile of the students and size of the institution’s endowment? The higher the percentage of lower income students enrolled and persisting in an institution, the higher its federal funding level. The national goal is, after all, moving more of the growing populations to college completion.

What if conflicting public policies were eliminated? For example, the cost of incar-

ceration is $26,000 yearly per inmate. The tuition rates at the historically Black Morgan State University are $17,000 and $25,000 respectively for in-state and out-of-state students, and represent positive cash flow to the state. Across the spectrum, the cost of attaining a degree at a public HBCU is $2,500 less per year than at a public HWCU, and $10,000 less per year at a private HBCU than a private HWCU, according to The College Board.

If we are to meet President Obama’s national goal of graduating 60 percent of Americans with a two or four-year degree by 2020, an estimated two million additional African-American students must be educated.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities will need to increase the number of graduates per year from 35,000 to more than 57,000.

This will not happen without a major overhaul of the student financial aid system.

We must reform the Pell Grant program to require notification of likely Pell Grant eligibility to middle school student families participating in needs-based federal programs e.g., free/reduced lunch. This will incentivize low-income students to believe that college is possible.

We must devise an automatic income-based repay-

ment (IBR) plan for student loans by which borrowers can make payments through employer withholding. If a student were unemployed, there would be no obligation to pay. If a student loan borrower must file for bankruptcy the code should be changed back to permitting privately issued student loans to be dischargeable in bankruptcy like nearly all other forms of private debt.

We must cap student and parent loan interest rates on subsidized Stafford Student Loans, Parent Plus Loans, and other government education loans at no more than 2 or 3 percent to remove the twin obstacles of high interest rates and prohibitive student debt. This will assist 7.4 million student and parent borrowers.

We must incentivize governors, state legislatures, and municipalities to establish Promise Communities in which endowments would be established and funded by a percentage of the regular expenditures of residents e.g., utility and grocery bills.

The endowment would fund the cost of a four-year public education for qualifying lowincome students. This concept has achieved successful outcomes in several states.

A bold agenda? Absolutely.

If the lessons of the 1960s teach us anything, it is that real progress is not built on

cautious compromises. We must begin a movement on behalf of black and brown, low-income, first generation students.

The components of the movement are there. It begins with an action agenda to educate our children from pre-school upward.

That’s the kind of movement that the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) is ready to lead. That’s the bold agenda that Helen’s family and other families in America desperately need now.

Lezli Baskerville, Esq. is president/CEO of the NAFEO.

The Lawyers’ Committee is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, formed in 1963 at the request of President John F.

ST. MARK AME CHURCH Presents MEN’S EMPOWERMENT WEEKEND CALLING 100 MEN! The question has been asked, “are men needed?”

The answer can be found at St. Mark AME, 1616 W. Atkinson Avenue during the Men’s Empowerment Weekend, Friday, June 28 through Sunday, June 30.

This impactful weekend of prayer and fellowship is an invitation for 100 men to come together to pray, worship and break bread.

“June represents Father’s Day and Men’s Health Month. Celebrating men and fathers, bringing them together and healing the spirit of a man is critical to addressing the many ills that plague our community. Black men suffer from the highest incarceration rates and unemployment rates,” said St. Mark AME Pastor Darryl R. Williams. Black men have every reason to give in and give up, but we don’t. I know that our men are needed and relevant; we want to remind men that they are relevant. When the question is asked, are men needed? We must answer by standing together through prayer and fellowship and being supportive of one another. This weekend of empowerment is to build our spiritual kingdom, build our relationships with our youth and to remind ourselves what we have to do as leaders in our families.”

The Men’s Empowerment Weekend is free and open to everyone.
