UW-System surplus has some in Madison seeing red By: Raina J. Johnson Special to the Milwaukee Times A recent report released by the Legislative Audit Bureau showed that the University of Wisconsin system has reserves of $648 million and $414 million in tuition surplus. At the same time, records show that tuition increases have been steady at 5.5 percent annually since the 2007 – 2008 school year. Many lawmakers question this surplus. Rep. Mandela Barnes (D – Milwaukee) said, “It’s just another reason to freeze tuition.” With this being a current budget cycle, this matter isn’t being taken lightly. For now, we have to wait and see what action, if any, lawmakers will take. President Kevin Reilly of the UW System was grilled at the Capitol on the issue. Senator Alberta Darling (R – River Hills) asked a tough question of Reilly: “Students from all over the state have said you know what, we’ve taken out loans, we’ve taken out grants, we have 2 or 3 jobs, we want to finish our degrees. And they’ve told us how difficult it is to get through the University system and the amount of debt they have and yet here we have accounts of tuition being squirreled away at the same time you raise tuition, what is your intent – what is your leadership intent of managing the UW money in this way?” Reilly responded, “We’re always trying to avoid that situation where we get to a

bi-annual where we say, wow, the state budget is down, we’re back in another recession, gifts and grants are down, people aren’t giving as much money, and we have fewer students, and how are we going to afford to educate the ones that are left? Because so much of our budget is tuition based.” This conversation is likely to continue as lawmakers go into sessions regarding the budget and the UW system is preparing for policies and public hearings on what is an appropriate amount to have in their reserves.

The Mayor lends a hand on the "pothole patrol"

Mayor Tom Barrett worked with a Department of Public Works pothole-filling crew on Wednesday, May 1 in a northwest side Milwaukee neighborhood. The number of pothole complaints in the city is up this year compared to 2012, due in part to a wet winter and several freeze/thaw cycles. With the recent warmer weather, DPW crews have switched to using hot mix asphalt for filling potholes, which adheres significantly better to the pavement compared to cold mix asphalt used during the winter months. To report a pothole, residents should call 286-CITY (2489).

Report: Wisconsin has the highest black from male incarceration rate in the nation

"Students all over the state have said you know what, we’ve taken out loans, we’ve taken out grants, we have 2 or 3 jobs, we want to finish our degrees."

By: Raina J. Johnson Special to the Milwaukee Times In a 33-page report recently released by the UWMilwaukee Employment and Training Institute, the numbers are startling but not surprising to many. The report focuses on two decades of data from “the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) files to assess employment and train-

ing barriers facing African American men with a history of DOC offenses and DOT violations. The report focuses on 26,222 African American males from Milwaukee County incarcerated in state correctional facilities from 1990 to 2012 (including a third with only non-violent crimes) and another 27,874 men with DOT violations preventing them from legally driving (many for failures to pay fines and civil forfei-

tures). Of course, with these high numbers, it’s no surprise that black men, especially in Milwaukee County, can’t find jobs. “Prison time is the most serious barrier to employment, making ex-offender populations the most difficult to place and sustain in full-time employment. When DOT driver’s licensing history is also considered transportation barriers make (Continued pg. 4)

Right now we should be focusing on serious issues that matter to people, such as funding to sustain our transit system. This is the time to come together as we reform Milwaukee County. People are tired of divisive politics,” Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic said in a statement released by her on Monday, April 29, 2013. This was in response to four Milwaukee County Board members -- three conservatives and one liberal -- circulating a memo on Friday, April 26, 2013 asking other supervisors to join them in their long-shot attempt to dump Chairwoman Dimitrijevic as their leader. The memo asks supervisors for their support in asking Dimitrijevic to step down as chairwoman "after a series of political blunders." If that is unsuccessful, the foursome -- Supervisors Mark Borkowski, Steve Taylor, Deanna Alexander and John Weishan -- said they want to begin the process for removing the first-term board leader. Supervisors were given until noon Monday to join the attempted coup. Supporters of the chairwoman on the County Board came to her defense after the memo leaked to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's 'No Quarter' blog. "I have no interest in this move to attack the Chairwoman," Supervisor Theo Lipscomb said, praising her leadership. Even some of the dissidents conceded that the effort to oust Dimitrijevic is likely to fail. "Under the current environment, it's probably highly unlikely you'll get a majority

County Board Chair Marina Dimitrijevic of the board willing to do this," Taylor said. "However, that doesn't mean this isn't the right thing to do at this time." Dimitrijevic has come under fire from Republican legislators and some of her colleagues for her evasive answers on suggestions that the board directed a county labor official to negotiate with a decertified union. Records obtained by No Quarter show an official with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 48 referred to the meetings with Fred Bau, the county's labor relations director, as negotiating sessions. Bau even offered a contract proposal to District 48, and a top committee with the union had scheduled a debate on the offer. But Dimitrijevic has maintained that the meetings were never more than talks and listening sessions. This debate has gone on while lawmakers in Madison are considering legislation that would chop the $50,000-per-year salaries for County Board members by more than half if Milwaukee County voters approve a binding referendum in 2014. The measure has been tentatively approved in the Assembly. Despite the criticism, Dimitrijevic demonstrated her political strength on the County Board by pushing through her own reform proposal last week. By a 15-3 vote, the board approved Dimitrijevic's plan, which would cut supervisors' pay 20 percent, shed half the board's staff and require supervisors to attend training sessions on their proper role. The measure also would seek state approval to reduce supervisor terms from four years to two. Voting against the plan were Alexander, Taylor and Weishan -- three of the four pushing for Dimitrijevic's ouster.

Milwaukee Art Museum to showcase African American contemporary art this summer 30 Americans explore identity in contemporary America captivating exhibition coming to Milwaukee Art Museum 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 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 will feature nearly eighty photographs, paintings, sculptures, installations, and works on paper and in digital media by the following artists: Nina Cha-

Making the Black community sustainable By Dr. B.B. Robinson If something is good and it is enjoyable, it's not surprising that people want it to last forever. We want the goodness to be unceasing. We want it to be sustained. But the sad fact is that nothing lasts forever. Even the cosmos is subject to the vagaries of time and will one day cease to exist. Within black America, despite the hardships we have faced, there have been many favorable developments that have benefited our people. They should continue. Unfortunately, many appear to be unsustainable. Consider the example of the black family. Formerly the bedrock of our community, the black family is now failing. Around 70 percent of black children are currently being born out of wedlock, and the availability of marrying-age black males is restricted by a very high - albeit declining- incarceration rate. Several of the nation's historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), which many charge with maintaining a tradition of scholarly

excellence in our community, are slowly but steadily falling by the wayside. Schools that were once virtually the only choice for black higher education are now failing to receive broad economic support because, in part, they become enmeshed in noneducational issues, reflect poor management and often produce graduates who exhibit sub-par academic achievement.

The rapid pace and major accomplishments of the Martin Luther King-era civil rights movement left the establishment black special interest groups with a hard act to follow and few critical hurdles to overcome. Today's civil rights lobby is largely a "go along to get along" movement that often focuses on the "wrong issues." When presented with the declining black family, sub-

par educational achievement and a lack of progress on key economic issues, today's selfprofessed black leaders seem quite ineffective in comparison with the greatness of their predecessors. Even effective past efforts by the Nation of lslam to make black America more productive and independent are not being replicated today. Given Minister Louis Farrakhan's current advanced age and declining health, we must wonder whether that movement will be sustained beyond his passing. Conversely, there is an important institution that remains sustained, in form if not in substance. That institution is the black church. Why has the black church been sustained, and - generally - what are the keys to sustainability? For institutions, organizations and movements that want to last, they must - at their core - contain the materials and the chemistry that it takes to be sustainable. Like kernels that always produce stalks of corn and create the kernels that grow yet more corn in the future, these institutions, organizations and movements must include what is essentially a genetic code that ensures their sustainability. Sustainable entities must embody long-range plans with provisions for course corrections (consider the U.S. Constitution), system-

Mark Bradford and Shinique Smith from the West and East coasts, respectively, create works that reveal an affinity with Jean-Michel Basquiat’s charged graffiti-based paintings. “This is not a subtle exhibition. It will inspire discussion,” said Keegan. “Our hope is that visitors will engage in dialogue both in and out of the Museum setting. This exhibition is interactive, and so the programs around it are meant to engage a variety of audiences.” In conjunction with the 30

atic processes for leadership succession (consider the Catholic Church) and flexibility to evolve (consider creation itself). Probably the most important key to sustainability for black American institutions, organizations and movements is a willingness on our part to work diligently and selflessly to make them successful. The reason that kernel of corn is successful in producing more corn is because earth, water, air and sun are always there to do their parts. Likewise, we must be committed to serving as the equivalent of the earth, water, air and sun to ensure that our institutions, organizations and movements are sustained. While all good things inevitability come to an end, they do not have to suffer a premature demise. With work and care, good things can be sustainable for quite some time. As a result, we can avoid the hazardous stops and starts to our efforts to preserve ourselves as a people and as a community within the larger American nation. B.B.

Being Frank

By Frank James IV

Sports to the rescue There have been some shocking developments that took place in America over the past two weeks. The Boston Marathon bombing and the subsequent manhunt afterwards shook the nation. But in true American fashion the country bounced back in dazzling form. The main way the country overcame the polarizing effects of the bombing was sports. Sports have become the one medium many Americans turn to in order to keep from going crazy. In ancient Rome it was said that the gladiator matches were designed to entertain the masses. The gladiator matches kept the populace's mind off problems their leaders couldn’t solve. In America sports have taken a similar role in the society. But whereas the Romans only had the gladiators America has the big three: MLB, NBA and NFL. The number of ESPN channels shows the importance of sports to the American psyche. Americans love their sports and in times of turmoil sports usually responds in kind. Who can forget George W. Bush throwing that strike to open game three of the 2001 World Series after the 9-11 tragedy? In the case of the Boston bombing three sports kicked in to alleviate American anxiety. The first month of Major League Baseball, the NBA playoffs and the NFL draft. In Boston the city was gearing up for a hopeful playoff run by their Celtics. The Celtics have been a force in the Eastern conference for years. The hope that Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett could play like they were 25 again helped ease some Bostonians' minds. The MLB Red Sox started the 2013 baseball season in first place so this was another thing to relieve the tension the city felt as the hunt for the suspects concluded. Sport was doing its job in both Boston and America. Enter the 2013 NFL Draft. The NFL is undoubtedly the king of sports in America. In European countries soccer is king, but in America football rules. Many will go by the old standby that baseball is the American sport of choice, but in today’s world

football rules. The NFL draft gave many Americans a chance to scout for their favorite team. The draft gives every armchair genius his chance to be general manager for a day. The coverage of the NFL draft on all mediums is astounding. The amount of blogs and chat rooms that were filled with fans voicing their opinions is beyond number. Many television stations dedicated specials to the pro team in the area. These specials were related to team needs and possible picks in the draft. The NFL was giving Americans a chance to think about something other than a possible bomb in the kitchen. In Milwaukee sports plays its role. The Bucks engaged in an uphill battle with the defending champion Miami Heat. There are thoughts that Brandon Jennings will be dribbling the ball in another team’s jersey next fall. Fans wonder will the Bucks ever get past round one in the playoffs. The Brewers are only a game or two back from first place and in Green Bay the Packers have reloaded via the draft. Sport is doing its job well in Wisconsin. Many people say sports plays too much of a role in American life. This may be true but who can say what’s good or bad for anyone else? Would it be better if Americans barricaded themselves inside their houses and shot the first person that knocked on the door out of paranoia? Or is it better to let people ignore the madness that can be the political world and cheer for their favorite gladiator? The answer all depends upon who you ask and point of view. One thing is sure: It’s a Raider Nation! Just Win Baby!

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

What’s going on? By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, is quiet an undertaking. How and by what means to get the Ed.D. Maintaining an open line of communication is easier said than done. It becomes increasingly more important when the stakes are high and when it matters most. Everyone involved wants to be kept in the loop and up to speed as things develop. Regardless of the time of day, how large or small the issues, if it is part of something of value, people want to know. It is impossible to keep everyone informed of what is happening 24/7. Even with the best of intentions, things can be missed and misunderstandings developed. Of course, there are times in which things can be misinterpreted, misspoken, lapses made in judgment, and when all the facts are not fully known. Communicating effectively

word is the ongoing challenge. Today, there are numerous channels used to get the word out including TV, radio, newspapers, social media, open forums, town hall meetings, block clubs, special panels, community centers, churches, and grapevine, and of course one of my favorites, word of mouth. Still with the best efforts, getting the word out to all interested parties will always be under construction and a work in progress. The critical point in improving communication for any group, agency, and community organization is to always focus on the audience and what needs to be shared. And secondly, the message needs to be conveyed in such a way that it is clear and can be understood by all. Additionally, there is also a need

to have time for questions, input, dialog and feedback. Lastly, if you want to have real engagement always ask, “What do you think?” Even in the darkest of nights, there is always a desire to see. Keeping the lines of communication open always brings light to all opportunities and forward progress. Every person, regardless of their socioeconomic status wants to feel that their opinion matters and voice can are heard, especially when their lives are affected. So… “let talk about it… the lines are now open.” For feedback you can contact Dr. Calhoun at email: andrewiiicalhoun@gmail.com, Facebook, twitter: AC53, http://whatdoesitlooklike.blogspot.com/ or 414-571-5015.

Christianity 101: God's Holy Spirit (Week 2)

In continuation of the series on Christianity 101, this week our focus will be on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the name of the third person in the Trinity, sometimes called the Holy Ghost. Jesus promised the Apostles that He would send the Holy Spirit after His crucifixion and resurrection. In Christian theology the study of the Holy Spirit is called pneumatology, from two Greek words, pneuma meaning “wind,” “breath,” or “spirit” and logos meaning “word,” or “logic.” Pneumatology is the study of God the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity. It answers numerous important questions about the Holy Spirit such as: who/what is the Holy Spirit, when/how do we receive the Holy Spirit; what is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and

how can I be filled with the Spirit. When it comes to the Personhood of the Holy Spirit, it is important to establish the fact that the Holy Spirit is a person. He is often forgotten in the discussion of the Father and the Son, and yet plays a role within the Trinity and salvation that is fundamental to the Christian life. The Holy Spirit is a person who can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30), bear witness (1 John 5:7), and teach (John 14:26) among many other things. The roles of the Holy Spirit are evident in both the Old and New Testaments. Most evident is His work in the life and ministry of Jesus. Today He is seen clearly in the work of salvation and sanctification of each believer. Referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said in John 16:3: “Howbeit when he, the

Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” The Holy Spirit, according, to John 16:8ff, comes to convict the world of guilt. It is the Holy Spirit Who makes people aware of their sin— aware of it in a way that leads

to repentance. It is the Holy Spirit who brings awareness of righteousness and of judgment. In other words, the Holy Spirit is the convicting influence to awaken mankind’s conscience to the real issues of life: sin, righteousness, and judgment. In John 16 is really the first time Jesus has explained the ministry of the Holy Spirit to His disciples. Prior to this,

very little has been said about the Holy Spirit. But now at this most crucial time when Jesus is about to leave, the Holy Spirit is the subject He discussed rather extensively. Jesus assured His disciples the Holy Spirit would be the One who would take care of them, strengthen them, and lead them in the way they should go. Just as surely as the Holy Spirit has been sent to those disciples, He has been sent to us. He is exactly what we need.

COMMuNITy COluMN UWM celebrates 50 years of the Peck School of Arts As the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Peck School of the Arts and the Year of the Arts, two Peck School alumni have been selected as the UWM Foundation Alumni Fellows for 2013. This year’s fellows are Henry Godinez of Chicago’s Goodman Theatre and Kevin Stalheim, founder of Milwaukee’s Present Music. Alumni Fellow is a lifelong designation that recognizes prominent and outstanding alumni who demonstrate leadership and accomplishment in their professional fields and personal lives. The Alumni Fellow program brings honorees back to campus to share their knowledge, insight and stories with students, faculty, staff and members of the community. Milton Coleman, senior editor of the Washington Post, received the first Alumni Fellow award in February 2012. Godinez, who received his master’s degree from UWM’s

Professional Theatre Training Program, is an associate professor in the Department of Theatre at Northwestern University and the resident artistic associate at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre, where he is the director of the Latino Theatre Festival. Kevin Stalheim (’81 MMConducting) is the founder and artistic director of Present Music in Milwaukee. “The three years I spent in graduate school at UWM were arguably the most intense and transformative of my educational career,” says Godinez. “They literally reshaped me as a theater artist and as a human being. Beyond the many specific skills I developed through graduate training at UWM, I also credit the discipline and determination it instilled in me, for the self-motivation and sense of purpose necessary for a career in the arts.” Godinez has numerous di-

Henry Godinez recting credits at the Goodman Theatre and other Chicago-area theater companies. He is the co-founder and former artistic director of Teatro Vista (Theatre with a View), which stages Latinooriented works that often challenge both cast and audi-

ence. As an actor, Godinez has been seen at Goodman Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare, The Kennedy Center and on TV and in films, including “The Fugitive,” “Above the Law,” “The Beast,” “Boss,” and “Chicago Fire.” Born in Havana, Cuba, Godinez serves on the Editorial Board of the Northwestern University Press and the Board of Directors of Albany Park Theatre Project. In addition to his master’s degree from UWM, Godinez earned a BA in Theatre from the University of Dallas. “My time at UWM provided the fertile ground and valuable experience necessary to form an organization like Present Music,” says Kevin Stalheim. “As a conducting major, I was able to use a deep pool of talented musicians from the city and the university to mount ad

hoc concerts that helped steer me toward possibilities I never imagined. Several excellent instructors encouraged my natural inclination toward adventure and going beyond just meeting the requirements. “I’m very pleased that my relationship with UWM has grown very strong over the past few years. Collaborations with the dance, art and music faculty and students have been extremely fruitful and point to an exciting future.” In 2000, Stalheim instituted the Creation Project, a 10week residency that teaches students in grades K-12 to compose and perform their own original works under the guidance of a composerin-residence. In addition to his master’s degree from UWM, Stalheim earned a BM in Music from Oberlin Conservatory in 1976.

Once when I was sixteen years old and Mother’s Day was coming up, I realized that I had nothing good to show or tell my mother that would raise her spirits except “I love you”. But, that wasn’t enough for me. I knew that something had to be done; I had to be able to present something to my mother that reminded her why I am proud to call her the greatest mother in the world. What could I do to show hard work, creativity, and emotion? My sister suggested that since I was a great writer and loved to write music, it would be the perfect time to express my feelings through my talents. I couldn’t have agreed more.

This problem is having a significant amount of people thinking that they should rack up on guns to protect themselves. What people really need is public security. This would be no way for a person to enter that elementary school if they had legitimate security to protect these kids. The shooter must have walked right in.

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Bee well: Health from the hive (part 2)

When we think bees, most of us think of honey. For millennia, people have enjoyed honey's sweetness and other benefits. What is little known is that the hive is the source of three more health enhancing substances. These are pollen, propolis, and royal jelly. This week we discuss the benefits of pollen and how it can support your health. Called "the world's first health food," pollen's healing powers have been described in ancient writings. Some think pollen may be the secret ambrosia eaten by the gods to ensure eternal youth. Pollen means pine flour in Latin and is the male sperm cells of flowering plants. Pollen is so physically indestructible that identifiable grains of the first pollen bearing plants are found in the earth's geological strata. Pollen contains nearly all the known nutrients: all 22 amino acids, 27 minerals, a full range of vitamins, and

many enzymes. It is 3 5 percent protein, 40 percent carbohydrate, and 5 percent fat. The protein is more highly assimilable than eggs, and half an ounce can supply the MDR when no other protein source is used. Over 50 years ago, pollen was found to be so perfectly balanced that when extended by roughage and water it is a complete survival food. In his classic "Bee Pollen, Miracle Food," Felix Murat reported that pollen has four principle effects on the sys-

tem: • regulates the action of intestinal functions, especially in cases of chronic constipation and diarrhea which has been resistant to antibiotic treatment. • stimulates the rapid increase of blood hemoglobin in anemic children. • stimulates more rapid increase of weight and energy with convalescing persons. • brings a calm state without side effects. Other health problems reportedly responsive to pollen

include the decline of mental and physical powers, upper respiratory infection, menstrual problems (especially when combined with royal jelly), prostate problems, sleeplessness, circulatory disorders, chronic colitis, high blood pressure, the common cold, disturbances of the endocrine system, and some nervous disorders. Pollen is also good as a general tonic. Since the 1970s, bee pollen has been widely used as a sports supplement. Its value was established internationally when a pollen product manufacturer in Sweden was accused of inappropriate marketing and taken to court. The manufacturer had advertised " .. .increase your performance capacity by taking such-and-such pollen tablets." At the trial, the manufacturer concluded that pollen preparations could be used to treat diseases, increase working capacity, diminish tiredness, and improve sports performance.

survey: Prescription drug abuse up among U.s. teens More than 5 million, nearly 25 percent, said they had abused these medications The United States appears to be in the throes of a prescription drug abuse crisis among teens, with a new survey showing that 24 percent of high school students -- more than 5 million kids -- have abused these medications. That’s a 33 percent increase from 2008, the survey authors noted. They said that 13 percent of teens acknowledged having experimented at least once with either Ritalin or Adderall (normally prescribed for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD) that was not prescribed for them. What’s more, 20 percent of teens who admit they have abused prescription drugs said their first experience doing so was before the age of 14, with 27 percent mistakenly believing that prescription drug abuse is safer than “street drugs,” such as cocaine or ecstasy. Compounding the problem: The parents surveyed seemed to share in this misperception, with almost one-third buying into the notion that Ritalin or Adderall can boost a child’s school performance even if the child is not diagnosed with ADHD. The findings stem from a nationally representative poll launched in 2012 by The Partnership at Drugfree. org, in conjunction with the

MetLife Foundation. The survey involved nearly 3,900 teens currently enrolled in grades 9 through 12 at public, private and parochial schools, along with more than 800 parents who participated in at-home interviews. “From my perspective, one way to look at this is that we’ve got a real public health crisis,” said Steve Pasierb, president and CEO at the Partnership organization. “And it’s not getting better. In fact, it’s getting deeper and more complex,” he said. “The key here is that kids and often their parents are buying into the myth and misunderstanding that prescription drug abuse is a safer way to get high, a safer alternative to street drugs, and that they can control it,” Pasierb continued. “And it’s very important to note that, on this, kids and parents are in the same place. Kids say

that they don’t think that their parents are going to be upset if they know about this, and parents are essentially saying the same thing,” he pointed out. “Now, if cocaine or heroin use was going up the way prescription drug use is parents would certainly be freaking out,” Pasierb added. “And they should be now, because prescription drug abuse is no better.” Among the findings: onethird of teens think there’s nothing particularly wrong with the notion of using prescription medications that were never prescribed for them to tackle a specific injury or illness, with almost one-quarter believing that their parents are more concerned about street drug use than the misuse of prescription drugs. Sixteen percent of parents also said they think prescription drugs are less dangerous than street drugs. Perhaps this explains another survey finding: While about four in five teens said they had discussed both alcohol and marijuana use with their parents and almost one-third said they had talked with them about crack/ cocaine, only between 14 percent and 16 percent said that the topic of painkiller/ prescription drug abuse had ever come up. This was true despite the fact that a parent’s medicine

cabinet is the repository for 56 percent of the prescription meds teens say they are abusing, the poll found, with nearly half of parents acknowledging that there are no barriers to access at home. Indeed, 20 percent of parents actually admitted to willfully giving their teen a prescription med that they had on hand, for which their child had no prescription. That said, Pasierb stressed that the goal of the survey was to draw needed attention to the misconceptions that are at the heart of a rapidly growing problem. “We know that kids who start abusing when they are very young are much more likely to have an addiction problem as adults,” he said. “So, parents need to intervene. They need to control supply and demand by locking up their medicine cabinets and throwing out old expired drugs. And they need to constantly weigh in, starting at very young age, even if they think they have the greatest kid in the world. They need to tell their child about the risks, and make clear how upset they will be if their child abuses these drugs.” SOURCES: Steve Pasierb, president and CEO, The Partnership at Drugfree.org; Kat Carnes, Houston; April 23, 2013, 2012 Partnership Attitude Tracking Study.

This opinion was supported by statisticians and by the testimonies of scientists. The firm won the case and was given permission by the courts to continue with their advertising program. Pollen supplements are most effective taken on an empty stomach. The effect is progressive with the greatest percentage of change occurring between twenty and thirty days. Although competing athletes take large quantities of pollen daily, the average person is advised to follow the instructions on the label. A three month trial is recommended. In studies with aging people pollen brought heightened morale, a sense of spiritual well-being, and actual physical health. Next week: Propolis

Health Tips: Broil Fish for a Healthy Dinner Follow these cooking guidelines Broiling is a healthy way to cook fish that also provides great flavor. If you haven't broiled before, a few basic tips can help you broil your fish to perfection. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics lists these tips for broiling delicious, healthy fish. Understand how the technique works -- broiling is basically like grilling food upside down, since the heat comes from above the food instead of below it. Use aluminum foil to line a baking dish, and spray it with cooking spray. Place the fish in the dish, skin side down. Slide the baking dish into the oven about 5 inches away from the broiler. Fish should appear flaky and opaque when done; test it with a food thermometer to make sure it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Fourteen things to consider before buying a home (part 2 of 2) Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment

By Diane Benson Harrington Wait! That house may seem like everything you’ve ever wanted, but before you make an offer, take some time to consider a few things beyond the size, style and price. When buying a home, it’s easy to let emotions get in the way of reality, or get sudden amnesia about factors that may make a difference. 8. Don’t just assume remodeling will be a snap If you voice your ideas to the sellers, you may be able to glean valuable insights. For instance, perhaps that shower is in an odd location because, when remodeling 10 years ago, the previous owners discovered a costly structural impediment to putting a shower where it would seem more appropriate. 9. Consider the view “So many neighborhoods now have teardowns. So look at the two houses on either side of you. If this neighborhood has had some teardowns, one of those houses might be a candidate. And

they may build some behemoth structure that affects your light or the way your house looks or your view,” Levine says. 10. Ask for utility bills You may adore the Cape Cod architectural style or the high ceilings and walls of glass in a modern home – but those winter heating and summer cooling bills may push your monthly payments beyond affordable. Ditto for the water bills you’ll pay to maintain a pristine landscape. 11. Pay close attention to taxes Don’t just ask what the seller’s most recent tax bill was; ask what several recent tax bills have been. In some areas, houses are re-appraised – and taxed at higher rates – frequently. That great deal and good investment may not seem quite so grand if the property taxes skyrocket year after year. Again, look at newspaper archives or talk to your Realtor about the way taxes are used in this area. In some cities, schools are substantially funded through property taxes –

which means you can count on yours increasing regularly. 12. Check with city hall National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agent

(NAEBA) recommends looking into the property’s and neighborhood’s zoning, as well as any potential easements, liens or other restric-

tions relating to your property. The seller should disclose these facts, but it’s better to be safe. If you’re using a buyer’s agent, he or she should be able to help you with this. 13. Reconsider the bells and whistles Are you sure you can live with a one-car garage, or a detached garage, or on-street parking? The pool may be a nice bonus, but can you afford the upkeep? 14. Explore the surrounding area If you’re not just making a cross-town move, you may not know that only three blocks away, this pretty neighborhood backs up to a dumpy commercial area or a less-than-savory part of town. If the home is near an airport, fire station, police station, hospital or railroad track, expect to hear trains, planes or ambulances throughout the day and night. Make sure you’re not too close to an agricultural area that may generate odors or kick up dust or other airborne problems.

Is your teen graduating with an ‘A’ in personal money management? Three important lessons they don’t teach in high school or college

More high school students than ever will be collecting diplomas in the coming weeks, an increase attributed in part to new career-oriented schools that help students appreciate the link between learning and earning. “After 40 years, we’re finally seeing significant improvements in high school graduation rates. The national average shot up from 72 percent in 2001 to 78 percent in 2010,” says retired business executive Cary Siegel author of “Why Didn’t They Teach Me This in School? 99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live By,” (www.carysiegel. com). “While it’s wonderful to offer initiatives like careerprep schools, I worry these new high school and college graduates won’t have a clue about how to manage their paychecks.” Siegel speaks from experience. Even after earning an MBA from the University of Chicago, he realized he knew little about how to best manage his personal funds. Setting financial goals helped him establish some basic principles, a trial-anderror process that was ultimately successful: He retired at age 45 after a marketing and sales career that included introducing new products like Crystal Light and Jell-O Light for Kraft Foods. “I wished I’d learned these things in school – I would’ve made fewer mistakes,” he says. “My main goal was to

find you’re learning so much, you’ll spend more than an hour exploring. Some free resources include the internet and the library. Look for a financially savvy individual, write up a list of questions, and ask if you can interview them. You may not have to look any further for this than your own family. Just one

hour a week adds up to a lot of time over a few years: 52 hours your first year, and more than 200 hours during four years of college. “I’m fairly certain that is more time than 95 percent of other college students spend on learning personal money management,” Siegel says.

Wisconsin African American Women, Ltd. cordially invites you to the 17th Annual Hat Luncheon

retire early enough to spend time with my kids while they were still young, and I was able to do that. It’s not because I’m rich; I’m not! It’s because I learned how to effectively manage my money.” All high school and college grads should leave school armed with that knowledge, says the father of five teenagers ages 13 to 17. He offers three of his favorite tips: • Just say no to credit cards (and don’t get one in college!) Credit card companies inundate college students with special offers. They want to hook you early on! But getting hooked on credit cards is as bad as getting hooked on drugs. The more you use them, the easier they are to use, and since you’re not required to pay off the balance each month, you can quickly spiral into debt. You pay for that debt, too. The average interest rate on student credit cards in April was

17.4 percent – which means for every dollar of debt you have, you’re charged almost 18 cents every month. • Know what your bills are and take action when they go up. It’s amazing how many people don’t know what they’re paying their service providers each month. (If you don’t know within $5 what each monthly bill is, you’re probably overpaying on many of them.) When your cable, internet or cell phone company tells you it’s increasing its rates, call the company and ask to speak to a manager or someone in the retention department. Be polite and don’t raise your voice. Ask for detailed rationale for the increase; often, this will immediately stop the increase. If it doesn’t, stress how long you’ve been with the company and your excellent payment history. • Spend an hour a week learning about personal finance. Once you start, you’ll
