Jessie M. Chaney, wife of late civil rights leader Felmers Chaney, passes away Jessie M. Chaney, age 91, passed away on Friday, May 24, 2013 surrounded by family and friends. She was a well known civil rights activist in the Milwaukee community for over 70 years as an executive committee member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Jessie worked tirelessly for the NAACP supporting such initiatives as the insurance red-lining lawsuit that was of national importance. As a result of the discrimination lawsuit, $50,000.00 was awarded to the Milwaukee Branch NAACP in support of the educational scholarship program for youth. Jessie volunteered numerous hours promoting NAACP membership as well as promoting the annual Freedom Fund Dinner. Jessie also took youth involved with the NAACP to enrichment activities such as horseback riding and bowling. An avid bowler, Jessie was a member of bowling leagues in the

Jessie M. Chaney Milwaukee area for over 60 consecutive years. Jessie retired after 36 years of service from Allis Chalmers. For Jessie, working hard, family, and traveling were what life was all about. Her optimism, friendliness and graciousness, will be missed. A perfectionist, she took great care in preparing holiday meals and always invited

seniors in the community who had no where else to go. Jessie was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 70 years, Felmers O. Chaney; mother, Artha L. Martin; father Jessie James Jones, and sister Ruby Skinner. She leaves to cherish her memory: nieces, Debra L. Skinner, and Dr. Sharon F. Skinner, and a host of loving relatives and friends. Visitation services for Jessie Chaney will be held Friday, May 31, 2013 at Williamson Funeral Home, 2157 N. 12th Street, Milwaukee, WI from 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Funeral will be held Saturday, June 1, 2013 at St. Matthews CME Church, 2944 N. 9th Street, Milwaukee, WI with final viewing from 9:00am to 10:00am; funeral services start at 10:00am.

SDC staff rebuild a home and a life Volunteers from the Social Development Commission’s (SDC) Residential Services Program stepped forward to help an elderly homeowner. They took part in the Rebuilding Together Greater Milwaukee 2013 Rebuilding Day. The staff from the SDC program volunteered to spend a Saturday working on the home of Ms. Ada who lives on Milwaukee’s Northwest side. The 77-year old woman suffers from severe asthma and requires regular visits by a nursing service. She lives in a small home with her foster son who has a cognitive disability. She lost her husband nine years ago and has been unable to keep up with maintenance on the home. SDC employees including Jim Gambon, Ofelia Mondragon, Chris Jensen, Javier Ortiz, Tim Sobczak, Adrian Villegas, and Celanese Landon took part in working on Ms. Ada’s home. The work included replacing a water heater, installing a new toi-

let, paint for the interior and exterior of the home, a new front step, lead hazard reduction for the garage, and replacement of the home’s first story storm windows. This is not the first year that SDC Residential Services staff helped out a resident through the Rebuilding Together Program. They have volunteered in past years as well to help preserve and revitalize the houses of low-income homeowners.

Congressmen propose the mother of all voting rights protections A pair of Democratic congressmen is pushing an amendment that would place an affirmative right to vote in the U.S. Constitution. According to Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), who is sponsoring the legislation along with Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the amendment would protect voters from what he described as a “systematic” push to “restrict voting access” through voter ID laws, shorter early voting deadlines, and other measures that are being proposed in many states. “Most people believe that there already is something in the Constitution that gives people the right to vote, but unfortunately … there is no affirmative right to vote in the Constitution. We have a number of amendments that protect against discrimination in voting, but we don’t have an affirmative right,” Pocan told TPM last week. “Especially in an era … you know, in the last decade especially we’ve just seen a number of these measures to restrict access to voting rights in so many states. … There’s just so many of these that are out there, that it shows the real need that we have.” The brief amendment would stipulate that “every citizen of the United States, who is of legal voting age, shall have the fundamental right to vote in any public election held in the jurisdiction in which the citizen resides.” It would also give Congress “the power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legisla-

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI)

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)

tion.” After investigating the issue, Pocan said he and Ellison decided this type of amendment was the best way to combat measures to restrict voting access. “Essentially, what it would do is it would put the burden on any of these states that try to make laws that are more restrictive that they would have to prove that they’re not disenfranchising a voter. Rather than, currently, where a voter has to prove they’ve somehow been wronged by a state measure,” said Pocan. Pocan laid the blame for this push to restrict voting rights on conservatives he described as interested in influencing elections. “I think there are a number of folks, most likely on the right, who are looking at when we have larger turnout elections, generally, I think they realize that they don’t have much control over the election,” said Pocan. “Trying to control who goes to vote is just another strategy in trying to have an electoral outcome.”

Pocan said he was inspired to investigate this type of legislation after the NAACP’s legal challenge to a photo ID measure supported by Wisconsin’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, succeeded because of a guarantee of the right to vote in the state’s constitution. He linked up with Ellison who had taken over a push to establish an affirmative right to vote on the federal level from former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL). Ellison and Pocan announced their legislation May 13. Pocan said there’s currently no counterpart in the Senate. There will be a long, hard road to getting the amendment approved. In the more than two centuries of American government, only 27 amendments to the Constitution have been approved though thousands have been discussed. If an amendment gets the support of two-thirds of both the House and Senate, it is then sent to the states for ratification. Three-quarters of the state legislatures must

approve the amendment for it be ratified. An amendment to the Constitution can also be approved at a Constitutional Convention called by two-thirds of state governments where it must be approved by three quarters of the states. None of the successful amendments were approved through Constitutional Conventions. Pocan didn’t say whether he believes it will pass in the House of Representatives describing it as “fairly new.” “I think we need to start the conversation about this and then that’s hopefully what we’re doing,” Pocan said. “There’s a couple major Supreme Court decisions we’re expecting this summer around voting rights, but clearly it’s an organized attempt state-by-state to pass these more restrictive laws. Even though Wisconsin has that protection a lot of other states don’t, so we really need to have it in the U.S. Constitution.” Pocan said he and Ellison are “just in the process of gaining co-sponsors” for their legislation. Though he identified forces on the right as being behind an effort to restrict voting rights, he hopes to get bipartisan support for the amendment. “I don’t think this is a Democratic issue or a Republican issue. I mean I just think this is a fairness issue and it’s an issue about our democracy,” Pocan said. “I hope we could get anyone to look at this and see that this is a common sense approach.”

Being Frank In America African Americans are known for many things. One of the main things African Americans are known for is eating fried chicken. Fried chicken and African American people have been tied together since slavery. Sadly the whole depiction is a childish, racist concept that African Americans need to ignore instead of react to. In medieval times the Italians had Pollo Fritto, a version of fried chicken that predates European colonization of America. Scottish immigrants brought fried chicken to the southern United States. The last time anyone checked the majority of Scottish people had white skin tones. True there was a dish similar to fried chicken in West Africa but the cost made it a delicacy not a staple. Since the early 1900’s African Americans have been labeled as fried chicken lovers.

Pass the chicken

There have been racist caricatures depicting big-lipped blacks chomping down on fried chicken. The image of the lazy African American laid back with no shoes on eating fried chicken became larger than the truth in the USA. The stereotypes became so inbred in American society there were racist restaurant chains like Coon Chicken Inn. Some say this image of African Americans comes from the movie "Birth of a Nation." In the movie you see African Americans chomping down on fried chicken in Congress. Because of the cultural impact of "Birth of a Nation," the racist image of African American and chicken became the norm in the USA. Throughout the years this image has never left. Since the African American has been depicted as a fried chicken-eating buffoon, is anyone surprised by Sergio

Garcia’s recent comments towards Tiger Woods? It’s been almost 100 years since D.W. Griffith released "Birth of a Nation" and the image of fried chicken and African Americans still persists. Why is this image of African Americans still strong? Is some of the blame on African Americans? KFC has a new form of chicken with no bones. One of the commercials has an African American family standing around a bucket of chicken. The father is chomping down so heart-

Did you know Memorial Day was started by ex-slaves?

One of the things that most black people know is that the public school system does a horrible job teaching black history. They will gladly tell you all the wonderful things that white people did and maybe even go back to Europe, but the contributions of African Americans are kept entirely on the backburner. A fact that you should probably know is that African Americans are the reason that Memorial Day even exists in the first place. According to Professor David Blight of Yale University, the event began on May 1, 1865. A group of former slaves in Charleston, SC gave a proper burial to 257 Union soldiers who’d been put into a mass grave. The black community of Charleston then consecrated the new cemetery with “an unforgettable parade of

10,000 people.” The event was initially called “Decoration Day” and was led by 3,000 black school children who started off by singing the song “John Brown’s Body.” They were then followed by hundreds of black women with baskets of flowers and crosses. After that, black men marched behind them in cadence, followed by Union infantry. The Union soldiers lived in horrible conditions, and 257 of them died from exposure and disease. This was the reason for the creation of the mass grave site. A total of 28 black men went to the site and re-buried the men properly, largely as a thank you for helping fight for their freedom. They also built a fence around the cemetery, and on the outside, put the words, “Martyrs of the Race Course.”

Dr. Boyce Watkins, who created an online course based on a forum held with Minister Louis Farrakhan last month, says that this is simply the tip of the iceberg. He says that misinformation is one of the most storied weapons used to perpetuate the oppression of black people. “Black people must, as part of our healing, go back and rewrite history to ensure that we learn the truth,” said Dr. Watkins. “You’ve been lied to for your entire life, so it is up to all of us to use the Internet as a critical resource in helping us to learn who we truly are. We are great people and America would not be the country that it is today without our sacrifice.” Now you know the rest of the story. Go tell this one to everyone you know.

ily until when he’s done his children tell him he ate the bones. The father smacks his lip then bucks his eyes asking hysterically, “I ate the bones?” Popeye’s chicken had Annie the chicken Queen smiling in mammy style telling how good the fried chicken is at Popeye’s. If you were an outsider what conclusion about African Americans and chicken would you come to? The main reason the racist stereotype has survived the test of time is African American reaction. If you look at how stupid the image is then you have to laugh. The racist depictions of African Americans eating chicken are childish at best. How many African Americans have you seen that are jet black with bright red lips? The image is foolish and only fools pay attention to such drivel. For almost 100 years African Americans have sought to overcome childish images applied to them by ignorant

racists. The more you resist something the greater what you're resisting becomes. The more energy African Americans have expended towards denying these images the stronger the images have become. If African Americans want these images to go away they have to put them out of their own minds. However, until that time comes pass, the chicken; and don’t eat all the white meat.

Black students flock to STEM fields, yet business lobby pushes for more temporary workers By William Spriggs Over last weekend, young people watched or read about President Obama speaking at Morehouse College and first lady Michelle Obama addressing the graduates of Bowie State University. Hopefully they were inspired by seeing so many young and gifted people finishing the course they chose to follow. Well, here is a little known set of facts. Those colleges are both historically Black collegesknown as HBCUs-and they graduate a disproportionate share of the nation’s Black science, technical, engineering and math majors-the very majors everyone points to as the skills America will need to succeed. And, it turns out, HBCUs are important because those fields are the backbone of the new Black middle class. More Blacks work in computer-related occupations than are employed as elementary and middle school teachers or postal workers. And, like those students at Morehouse and Bowie State, Black college students are more likely to choose computer science as a major than White students. In part because of the high share of blacks who major in com-

puter science and because of the large number of Black college students, there are more baccalaureate degrees awarded to African Americans than to Asian Americans in computer science. Now, a great challenge lies ahead. Having found a path to the middle class through education and training, business interests are pushing hard in Congress to import temporary workers to do computer-based jobs. This while there are still 20,000plus fewer Blacks employed as computer programmers and systems analysts since their employment peaked in 2008. But, while those workers continue to search to get back to the high-tech jobs they trained for, we have seen businesses increase requests for H-1B visas (visas for high-tech workers). And now the Senate Judiciary Committee adopted ludicrous amendments, introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) in the immigration bill, that refuse to give America’s workers a first shot at these jobs. These amendments would even allow businesses to fire American workers and replace them with temporary workers. (Continued on pg. 4)

Rebuilding our Community By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times

Be that as it may Discovering what you are capable of contributing to the wellbeing of a community should be the goal of all concerned residents. Regardless if you are rich and doing “well”; middle income, and doing “OK;” or poor and “just trying to make it,” all people have an opportunity to help make their community a better place to live, work and play. All it takes is some time and lending a helping hand. Every day the beat goes on in which numerous urban communities are under siege and residents simply feel powerless to change things. Each day, the numbers of reported incidents of domestic abuse, gun violence, drug addiction, and mental illness continue to rise. With each episode, residents continue to try and understand what just happened and what can be done to prevent something like that from occurring in the future. And when you factor in the number of people who are struggling with chronic unemployment, homelessness, low wage jobs, no medical care and transportation, the barometer of what is affecting residents in a particular community is off the scale. In the search for answers, people quickly point to a number or reasons as the root cause for the break down in human behavior, social jus-

tice, family life, education, citizenship, and even common sense. Even though most people are willing to accept some reasoning and that there is some truth in what another person has just said, it does not change their opinion in any significant manner. Urban America needs help in many so ways and that is the whole truth…and nothing but…the truth. Just pick an issue and dive right in… you can make a difference… trust me. In spite of its growing complexity of problems, Urban America is also a working canvas full of great hopes and promises. There is a lot of untapped human potential… I see it every day. You see it when children are playing on the playgrounds and in the streets. It is happening when neighbors are engaged in organizing block parties,

health fairs, gardens, and community clean up days. You feel and hear it when residents, community organizers, church leaders, elected officials, law enforcement, leaders of agencies come together to discuss challenges, to brainstorm, and to work together in an effort to find solutions. Edmund Burke, a noted 18th century philosopher once stated… “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” So…what is your take?

The Counseling Corner

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

National Health Month: Eye Safety- (Week 2) The eyes are wonderful sensory organs. They help people learn about the world in which they live. Eyes see all sorts of things - big or small, near or far, smooth or textured, colors and dimensions. The eyes have many parts all of which must function in order to see properly. During National Health Month the focus this week will be on eye safety. Information this week is being provided by Prevent Blindness America (“PBA”). Founded in 1908, it is the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Visit them at www. preventblindness.org. We will begin by presenting signs of eye problems and conclude with protecting your child’s eyes from injury.

Signs of Eye Problems Any changes in the appearance of your eyes or vision should be investigated further. Some examples include: • Unusual trouble adjusting to dark rooms; • Difficulty focusing on near or distant objects; • Squinting or blinking due to unusual sensitivity to light or glare; • Change in color of iris; • Red-rimmed, encrusted or swollen lids; • Recurrent pain in or around eyes; • Double vision; • Dark spot at the center of viewing; • Lines and edges appear distorted or wavy; • Excess tearing or “watery eyes”; • Dry eyes with itching or burning; and • Seeing spots, ghost-like images The following may be indi-

cations of potentially serious problems that might require emergency medical attention: • Sudden loss of vision in one eye; • Sudden hazy or blurred vision; • Flashes of light or black spots; • Halos or rainbows around light; • Curtain-like blotting out of vision; and • Loss of peripheral (side) vision. PBA recommends if you notice any signs of potential eye problems, see an eye doctor for a complete eye exam. Even if you have no signs, regular eye exams are recommended—especially for those with some chronic

health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Early detection and treatment can be the key to preventing sight loss. Protecting your child’s eyes from injury The world can be a dangerous place for young eyes. Accidents involving common household products cause 125,000 eye injuries each year. Every 13 minutes, an emergency room treats a sports-related eye injury. And, 43 percent of sportsrelated eye injuries are to children ages 14 and younger. You can reduce the risks of eye injuries to your child by taking a few safety steps: • Understand the dangers, • If your child plays sports, select and purchase the right safety eyewear for your child’s sport. • If you have a teen assisting with yard work and other small projects around the

home, be aware that flying debris and chemical splashes are a common cause of eye injury. The good news is that 90 percent of eye injures can be prevented through understanding, safety practices and the use of proper eye protection for children and adults.

Nathaniel Stampley’s acting career is now coming full circle with the running of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess at the Skylight Music Theatre in Milwaukee running until June 9. Nathaniel plays Crown in the show. Stampley grew up in Milwaukee but went to high school in Whitefish Bay, and he earned a BA from UW-Madison in Vocal Performance. If his name sounds familiar it’s because his father is Dr. Nathaniel Stampley, Pastor of Heritage International COGIC, located at 1036 W. Atkinson Avenue.

tal in his development as an actor. When Nathaniel had an audition in New York the weekend after September 11, 2001, his father and a friend drove him from Milwaukee to New York to make the audition. The role would prove to be a tremendous game changer for Stampley; he was to play Mufasa in The Lion King. “That role is significant to me, it’s opened a lot of doors and The Lion King, is something you don’t have to explain to a lot of people plus in its 16th year running, The Lion King has only had three Mufasa’s and I’m one of them, that’s a great accomplishment from someone from good old Milwaukee,” Stampley said. The Lion King is also where Stampley met his wife, a dancer on The Lion King tour. They will be celebrating nine years of marriage in July and have two children, ages 6 and 2. After college, he worked with his father for a few years on a project called Operation Return, where they took 75 students to West Africa. Stampley eventually had to fulfill his calling back in the theater and he moved to Chicago. In Chicago Stampley did a variety of shows, including Big River. “This is purely divine; we’re in the run of a show and I get this random call from New York, they were having auditions for Rag Time, and they said can you come to New York on this Thursday night? Now, Thursday’s are primarily show nights, and I had no contacts in New York, I didn’t know anyone in New York and to this day I have no idea how they got my name and number.” Stampley was able to make the audition in New York and from there he got an agent and has traveled throughout the U.S. and the world including Brazil and London. Stampley tries to bring a little bit of himself to every role he is in. “I enjoy the immediacy of the theatre; there’s no luxury of editing and being on stage is unique versus a movie. There is that dangerous element of it whether your partner forgets a line and we’re live so we have to work through it.” Stampley enjoys the prep work that goes into a performance. He goes to the gym 6 days a week and eats right. He has to be at his peak when the curtain goes up, “there’s a lot of maintenance on the inside that we have to do in order to give our best and be a good steward of this gift we’ve been given,” he said. After the show ends at the Skylight on June 9, Stampley plans to take the summer off and then in the fall he’s going on the national tour of Porgy and Bess, which is a full year commitment.

Education

Community Column UWM: A great place to explore your options The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a great place to explore career, extracurricular and academic options, according to two May graduates. Both Britney Morrow, who earned her master’s degree in social work, and Phylicia Rivera, who earned her B.S. in sociology, benefited from a wide range of experiences at UWM. Morrow had earned a bachelor’s degree in education from UWM, but discovered that teaching wasn’t the right fit for her. After working for Professional Services Group, a supervisory agency for children in foster care, she discovered she had a real passion for social work. “I loved what I was doing,” she now says, “and decided to look into social work as a career.” So, 10 years after earning her bachelor’s degree, she returned to UWM to pursue a master’s degree in social work. This time, she says, “the journey was amazing.” Morrow says she discovered the difference between

Britney Morrow studying what you think you want to do and exploring what you actually have a passion for. “This time around, I enjoyed going and being in class, participated in discussions – and my grades improved dramatically.” Morrow had attended Milwaukee’s German Language Immersion School when she was younger and had the opportunity to study abroad in Austria during her time at UWM. Like Morrow, Rivera enjoyed exploring what UWM had to offer. In addition to

her degree in sociology, she earned minors in global studies and history. “If I could do everything I wanted,” she says, “I’d be graduating with a lot of degrees.” Rivera, who came to UWM as a Chancellor’s Scholar, has studied abroad in Ireland, served as president of the Multicultural Student Coalition for three years, and worked in UWM’s Sociocultural Programming office for two years. She also was one of several student representatives involved in the In-

clusive Excellence project to support diversity on campus, and contributed to a report on campus climate A graduate of Divine Savior Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee, she was considering a number of universities when she was offered the Chancellor’s Scholarship. “My mom is a single mom, and this was an awesome opportunity.” Rivera liked UWM’s diversity of cultures, ages, economic and family backgrounds, and enjoyed being part of the effort to make the campus a better place for all. “I knew if I wanted to see changes, I’d have to go to work to help make it happen.” Both Morrow and Rivera have started to lay out plans for their future. Morrow is working part time as a substitute school social worker. “I love working with kids and families, and always knew I wanted to work in a school, but couldn’t figure out in what capacity. The social work piece brought it all together.” She hopes to be hired full

time as a school social worker after passing the required certification exam and submitting her portfolio. While her work so far has been on the elementary-school level at Alexander Mitchell Integrated Arts School and Elm Creative Arts, she may take a leap into working at the highschool level. “I’d love to act as a mentor for teens and encourage students to keep their grades up and see themselves going to college and studying abroad like I did.” After juggling studies, an internship and a part-time job, Rivera’s post-graduation plans include a short break to plan her fall wedding. “I’ve had an incredible experience at UWM,” she says. As part of student advisory group that came up with the idea for an Inclusive Excellence Center, now established on campus, she feels she gave back. “It’s really awesome to actually see a good idea come to life.”

Rufus King wins national ACT award for college and career readiness MPS’ Rufus King International School is the only high school in the nation to receive the award

Milwaukee Public Schools’ Rufus King International School has won ACT’s national College and Career Transition Award for high schools. Rufus King is the only high school in the nation to receive the award, which was announced Wednesday, May 22, 2013 in Washington, D.C. Ranked among the best high schools in Wisconsin in 2013 by both U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post, Rufus King was nominated for the award by Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers. The six states partnering with ACT for its inaugural College and Career Readiness Campaign were invited to nominate schools. Schools are nominated by states to recognize “exemplary college and career readiness efforts” as they work to ensure students possess the knowledge and skills to enroll and succeed in collegelevel coursework at colleges and universities. In recognizing the honor, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction shared the following about the school: “An International Baccalaureate (IB) school since 1979, Rufus King has created a college-bound at-

mosphere for its ethnically and socio-economically diverse student population. The rigorous IB curriculum prepares students for the next steps in their educational and life journey. The school uses quarterly assessments to monitor student growth, offers career exploration and college search support, and requires community service for all students.” “As a nation, we have work to do in terms of college and career readiness, but we can get there,” said Jon Whitmore, ACT’s chief executive officer. “The individuals and organizations we honored this week prove that college and career readiness can be achieved. Our campaign is intended to encourage more people to take up the cause, to support them in their ef-

forts, and to recognize and celebrate their accomplishments.” “This is a tremendous recognition of the hard work of our teachers, counselors, students and families to ensure students succeed after they graduate,” Rufus King Principal Peter Samaranayake said. Rufus King won its award based upon criteria including: demonstrated student growth; aggregate ACT scores; the percentage of students meeting college readiness benchmarks; demonstrated success in serving students of underrepresented racial/ethnic/socioeconomic backgrounds; dedication of administrators and teachers to ensure students gain the knowledge and skills needed for success; and the

school’s commitment to providing leadership opportunities for students outside the classroom. MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said the national recognition “is a strong reflection of what we already know about the rigorous environment at Rufus King and our commitment to college and career readiness.” MPS’ college and career readiness efforts and results include: • Comprehensive literacy and math/science plans aligned to the rigorous Common Core State Standards to put students on a track to college and career success • Growing the graduation rate by approximately 14 percentage points between the class of 2000 and the class of 2012 • Nearly doubling ACT participation from 43 percent in 2007-08 to more than 80 percent in 2011-12 • Opening two College Access Centers with late and weekend hours to help demystify the application process • Growing the percentage of students taking AP courses by roughly four percentage points over the past four years • Growing the percentage

of students enrolling in postsecondary education within a year and half of high school graduation roughly eight percentage points over five years to above 50 percent.

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Where did I leave my keys? Maintaining a healthy memory (part 2) If you are reading this article and you're over 40 you may be having memory lapses that are worrying you. Unfortunately, for many of us the worry is that we may be getting Alzheimer's. Today, Alzheimer's disease outranks both heart disease and cancer as the primary fear of older Americans. With time, this fear can prove to have some foundation. Four - step brain boosting program The four basic steps are: 1) managing stress; 2) eating health-giving foods; 3) body/ mind exercise; and 4) using supportive supplements. We cover the first three this week. 1. Managing stress Because of the negative impact of stress hormones on the brain, managing stress is the first step toward safeguarding memory. Chronic stress overloads the brain with powerful hormones in-

foods simply do not contain the nutrition needed to support a healthy brain. One example is fats. If the good fats the body needs for the brain are not available, it will substitute with whatever you feed it. The result is hardened cell walls which cannot pass intercellular messages effectively. Conversely, fresh, whole foods deliver a healthy, lively brain. Such foods accompanied by a basic supplement plan are the basis for today's good nutrition. (See "Step 4: Supplement Support".) Also, stay hydrated by drinking 6-8 (eight ounce) glasses of purified water every day. (Other beverages don't count.) 3. Exercising body and mind tended to be there only brief- to remember and learn. Bringing regular exercise ly for emergency situations. 2. Feeding the brain to both body and mind is the The cumulative effects of Food is equal to stress in third step in memory mainthese substances damage and its potential for damaging the tenance. Everybody underkill brain cells. This is espe- brain. Eating substandard stands that physical exercise cially injurious to our ability foods causes stress. Junk increases blood flow to the

brain (It is also an effective way to reduce stress.) To flex our mental muscles, crossword puzzles, brainteasers, and trivia games are useful. Other simple mental exercises include repeating number series and selfquizzing by reading a news story and then summarizing the who, what, when, where, why, and how questions in writing. "Mind/body exercise" such as yoga, martial arts, and dance are recommended. A new way to exercise the brain, reduce stress, and improve sleep involves using a cranial electrical stimulation device (CES). Electrodes are attached to the earlobes for a gentle pulsating effect while one relaxes for 45 minutes. Continued next week: Supplement support

Chronic heartburn may raise odds for throat cancer: study People who suffer from frequent heartburn may be at increased risk for cancers of the throat and vocal cords even if they don’t smoke or drink alcohol, a new study says. Interestingly, common over-the-counter antacids seemed to protect against these cancers while prescription medications such as Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid didn’t, the researchers said. “There has been a controversy about whether heartburn contributes to cancers of the larynx or pharynx,” said lead researcher Scott Langevin, a postdoctoral research fellow at Brown University in Providence, R.I. “And we found out that it does elevate the risk of these cancers. There is about a 78 percent increase in the risk for cancer in people who experience heavy heartburn,” he said. “This is important in figuring out who to monitor more closely.” The other finding, which Langevin called “surprising,” was the protective effect of common antacids in reducing the risk of cancer. “We didn’t see that protective effect with prescription medications. But it should be noted that people who take them are those who get

the worst heartburn, so we shouldn’t read too much into that,” he said. Langevin added that it’s hard to explain that medication finding, and other studies will be needed to see if it’s really the case. “It’s possible that these drugs didn’t have that protective effect because these were the worst cases of heartburn,” he said. The report was published May 23 in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. And while it uncovered an association between heartburn and cancer of the throat and vocal cords, it didn’t prove a causeand-effect relationship. Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society, said “the study shows that reflux is associated with an increased incidence of cancers of the larynx and pharynx.” Lichtenfeld said the role of antacids in reducing the risk of cancer needs more study. “Researchers need to determine why antacids work and, more importantly, whether antacids make a difference in also reducing cancer of the esophagus,” he said.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Leasing a car on the cheap By Jason Alderman My trusty Volvo wagon served our family well for 13 years, but after 106,000 miles it finally gave up the ghost. My wife just completed graduate school so we weren’t ready to commit to a new car payment. I rented a car at first, but at $500 a month, that soon got old. Then I came across a concept new me: assuming someone else’s car lease. Initially I was skeptical, but after considerable research I took the plunge. It took many emails and phone calls and a month-long wait for the paperwork to clear, but I now have a one-year lease on a quality car whose monthly cost is about a third less than the stripped-down model I was renting. With the caveat that car lease assumption is not right for everyone, here’s how the process works: People need to get out of their car leases for a variety of reasons but it’s no-

toriously difficult to do so – you usually must pay the outstanding balance plus an early termination fee. One way around this, if your finance company allows it, is to transfer the lease to another party for the remainder of its term. Many people use online lease assumption services like Swapalease.com and LeaseTrader.com. I went with Swapalease.com. These companies match people wanting to unload their lease (think of them as “sellers”) with so-called

“buyers” interested taking over the remainder of someone’s lease. Among the potential advantages for buyers: • No down payment. • You can secure a shorterterm lease. • Sellers will generally offer or agree to financial incentives to unload their lease. • Newer cars are usually still under warranty. However, be aware of the many fees involved on both sides of the transaction: • Sellers are charged a fee to advertise their vehicle on

the websites (generally $50 to $150), and a transaction fee if a lease transfer is initiated ($100 to $150). • Buyers pay a registration fee to obtain contact information for sellers (around $40 to $80). Some sites charge buyers a transaction fee as well. • Buyers must file a credit application with the lender which can cost up to several hundred dollars; the fee typically isn’t refundable if the credit check deems you aren’t creditworthy. • The leasing company itself will typically charge the buyer a lease transfer fee (typically $50 to $600). A few additional suggestions and precautions: • Inspect the car and note any damage. You may also want to have a mechanic inspect it. • Ask whether the lender will remove the seller’s name from the lease – some won’t. • During negotiations, ask the seller to pay the application and lease transfer fees.

It doesn’t hurt to ask and you’re still saving them a ton of money. • Don’t expect a lot of customer service from the swapping website. • Make sure there’s enough mileage left on the lease to suit your needs. • You’ll have to pay DMV registration fees and sales tax may apply. • Your insurance company will need to provide the leasing company with evidence that you have adequate coverage. • Know that it can take several weeks or more for the transaction to fully close. For me, that meant an extra month’s rental. All in all, if you’re flexible about what kind of car you’re willing to drive and not in a big hurry, assuming someone else’s lease can be a viable option. Just make sure to do your due diligence.

Chronic heartburn (Continued from pg 15) Why other medications didn’t lower the risk isn’t clear, Lichtenfeld said. And it points to one limitation of this type of study: It can’t take into account all the variables. To come to their conclusions, Langevin’s group compared more than 600 patients with throat or vocal cord cancer with more than 1,300 people without a history of cancer. All the patients answered questions about their history of heartburn, smoking and drinking habits, and family history of cancer. In addition, since some head and neck cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), the researchers tested all the participants for antigens to the virus. The researchers found that among those who weren’t heavy smokers or drinkers, frequent heartburn increased the risk for cancers of the throat and vocal cords by 78 percent. The researchers also found that taking antacids -- but not prescription medications or home remedies -- reduced the risk for these cancers by 41 percent. The protective effect of antacids was independent of smoking, drinking or infection with HPV, they said.

Kohl’s department stores donates $250,000 Children's Hospital of to the American Red Cross to support Wisconsin and AT&T announce grant to provide tornado relief efforts in Oklahoma tablets for patients Kohl’s associates also encouraged to volunteer in impacted communities On Wednesday, May 22, 2013, Kohl’s Department Stores announced a $250,000 cash donation toward tornado relief efforts in Moore, OK. and the surrounding area. Kohl’s is providing this donation to the American Red Cross, which is delivering much-needed emergency supplies and services in the tornado-impacted areas. In addition to a financial contribution, Kohl’s encourages its associates to volunteer in support of cleanup efforts through its Associates in Action volunteer program. In recognition of volunteer hours, Kohl’s will donate additional corporate grants to the nonprofit organizations being supported by Kohl’s associates. “We are deeply saddened by the devastation experienced by those in and around Moore, OK. due to the tornado that struck Monday,” said Kevin Mansell, Kohl’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “It is our sincerest hope that pro-

viding financial assistance and volunteer service will be of help and support to individuals and families as they work to rebuild their homes, schools and communities.” Kohl’s Associates in Action volunteers help a range of youth-serving nonprofit organizations yearround. Through the Associates in Action volunteer program, more than 669,000 associates have donated more than 2.2 million hours of their time since 2001, and Kohl’s has donated more than $63 million to the nonprofit organizations served.

Skylight presents classic, intimate ‘Porgy and Bess’ By Ruthe Eleanor Latta Special to the Milwaukee Times The Skylight Music Theatre’s current offering of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, playing now through June 9, proves that a huge venue and massive cast and orchestration are not required to stage a powerful production. In this case, pure musical talent and acting ability in this chamber-style theatre are quite enough to bring this American opera classic to life. The story is set in 1930’s Charleston, SC, in the fictional, hardscrabble waterfront tenement, Catfish Row. There poverty, violence, despair, hope, sin and salvation live side by side. In this African American community, the men eke out a living as fishermen and dock workers and then lose their troubles – and their paychecks – to shooting craps, cheap liquor and illegal drugs. The women fill their days with taking care of their families, gossiping, chiding their husbands, and praying for better times. The usual Saturday night crap game, organized by disabled beggar Porgy, turns deadly when Crown, a toughtalking, shady dockworker, enters the game accompanied by his girlfriend, Bess. Crown buys some “happy dust” and cheap whisky from Sportin’Life, the local dope dealer. Meanwhile, the self-righteous women of Catfish Row shun Bess for her street-wise ways, while

Porgy, the disabled street beggar (Jason McKinney) and Bess, the street-wise playgirl (Kearstin Piper Brown) share a moment on Catfish Row in the Skylight Music Theatre production of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess. only Porgy defends her. As the crap game winds down only fisherman Robbins and a very drunk Crown are still in the game. When Robbins wins, Crown tries to prevent him from collecting his winnings. A fight breaks out and Crown stabs Robbins with a baling hook, killing him. Crown flees the scene, but tells Bess that he’ll return for her after the heat dies down. Sportin’ Life gives Bess a dose of ‘happy dust’ and offers to take her with him to New York City, but she rebuffs him. Bess tries to find a place to stay but everyone in Catfish Row rejects her – everyone except Porgy, who takes her in.

Porgy and Bess become a couple and the Catfish Row community finally begins to accept Bess. As the community is preparing for the annual church picnic, Porgy and Bess profess their mutual affection. Bess joins everyone for the church picnic on a nearby island, but Porgy stays behind, since his disability prevents him from getting on the boat. As the church group prepares to return from the picnic, Crown comes out of hiding and prevents Bess from getting on the boat. Bess is unable to fend off his advances. When she finally returns from the island, she comes down with a serious

fever. The community prays for Bess while Porgy nurses her back to health. As Bess recovers, she confesses that she’d been with Crown on the island and is afraid that he’ll try to return for her. Porgy promises that Bess will never have to be afraid of Crown again. As storm clouds gather, a fishing party prepares to go out to sea, despite an imminent hurricane. Crown returns seeking Bess just as the storm swells. When one of the fishing boats returns to shore capsized, several of the residents and Crown go out to try and save the fishermen and are killed in the storm. As the community mourns, Crown suddenly reappears to try to claim Bess, but is instead confronted by Porgy. A fight ensues and Porgy kills Crown. When no one on Catfish Row volunteers information about Crown’s murder to the authorities, Porgy is selected by the detective for questioning. He spends several days in jail – not on suspicion of murder, but for contempt of court for refusing to identify Crown’s body. When Porgy is released, he learns that Bess has returned to the street life and gone off to New York City with Sportin’ Life. Despite his limitations, Porgy resolves to leave Catfish Row and find Bess. The minimalist set decoration and down-sized offstage orchestra allows the audience to focus on the powerful vocal performances of

the actors. Soprano Kerstin Piper Brown sings the role of Bess with poignancy and emotion, encouraging the audience to identify with her troubled and conflicted spirit. Jason McKinney interprets Porgy with his rich, sensitive baritone. He also deserves kudos for his portrayal of the disabled beggar, spending the entire performance on a low wooden cart that serves as his wheelchair. Cecelia Davis, as the new young mother Clara, opened the play with a haunting, beguiling rendition of the classic, “Summertime.” Milwaukee native Nathaniel Stampley is effectively intimidating as the thuggish Crown. Anthony McGlaun lends his clear, crisp tenor to portray the scene-stealing Sportin’ Life, with his pimpish attire and a confident, flamboyant strut that any peacock would envy. Of course, the real star is the unforgettable music score, composed by George and Ira Gershwin, which highlights the jazzy, bluesy, gospel gumbo that is the sound track of this tale of African American life, was ground-breaking in its time, and has lost none of its magic over time. The Gershwins’ ‘Porgy and Bess’ runs through June 9 at the Broadway Theatre Center, located at 158 N. Broadway, Milwaukee. For tickets, performance times, and information call (414) 291-7800, or go to www.skylightmusictheatre.org.

Beyonce's butt slapped by fan, at singer's Copenhagen show her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, a set of concerts that has been rife with drama. The Destiny's Child alum canceled tour dates on ac-

Beyonce Knowles Beyonce's Monday, May 27, 2013 show in Denmark took a turn for the dramatic when one attendee acted way out of turn. The 31-year-old singer was performing her hit single "Irreplaceable" at The Forum in Copenhagen, touching the hands of fans as she sang. As Beyonce turned during the performance, one fan within arm's length took the opportunity to slap Beyonce's blue bedazzled bodysuit-clad butt. Unsurprisingly, Beyouce was less-than-pleased by the action, telling the man, "I will have you escorted out right now, alright?" Beyonce is in the midst of

count of doctor's orders, and immediately took to her website to pen an apology to fans. Beyonce is scheduled to

continue her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour throughout the summer, hitting cities across the globe before wrapping at Brooklyn's Barclays

Center on Aug. 5. The singer appears on Kelly Rowland's "You've Changed" alongside fellow Destiny Child bandmate Michelle Williams.

Local Artist Ras 'Ammar Nsoroma helps dedicate portrait of local health advocate at MHS grand re-opening Portrait artist, painter, and muralist Ras `Ammar Nsoroma stands in front of his newly completed "bas-relief" portrait of C. C. Henderson, the former president and chief executive of the Milwaukee Health Services. Inc., who passed away in 2010. It was unveiled in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new addition to MLK’s Heritage Health Center on Saturday, May 25, 2013. This fitting image of Henderson by one of Milwaukee’s premier muralist honors Henderson as a behind the scenes “mover and shaker” and a dedicated administrator. His widow, Berlean Henderson said, “The portrait perfectly captures the spirit of empowerment that C. C. wanted for the community. Along with establishing solid financial footing for the clinics, he established a sound proactive health care system to assist the community with the kind of medical care and education needed to prevent and treat illness. Religion was a major part of his life. Guided by the bible verse, ‘I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me,’ Ammar’s mural captures that strength.”

Still Believing?

Believing won’t make it happen. You believe it, you really do. You’ve had a great time and reached your responsible gambling limit. But the Big Win is as close as another hand, another pull of the handle, another lottery ticket or two. You believe that until the only bank you’ve broken is your own. If that sounds like you, you may have a gambling problem. We’re here to help, and we’re just a call or a click away. Believe it. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call the Problem Gambling Help Line at 1-800-GAMBLE-5 (1-800-2462535) or visit wi-problemgamblers.org.
