Black Friday. Small Busi-ness Saturday. Cyber Mon-day. Equal Opportunity Day. Yes, I know, there aren’t long lines, steep discounts or com-mercials for Equal Oppor-tunity Day, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

On Thursday, December 13, 2012 the Milwaukee Ur-ban League hosted its 53rd annual Equal Opportunity Day Luncheon at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwau-kee.

Equal Opportunity Day was chartered through the National Urban League to promote equality and diverse economics among a wide range of ethnic communities to stimulate and support self-

help and growth. The keynote speaker for

the lunch was author and self-help economics activist Maggie Anderson. Driven by a passionate business career and witnessing a recycling of wealth in other communi-ties, Anderson and her family rose to front page news and made appearances on cable news channels in 2009 when her family decided to buy most, if not all of, their fam-ily's needs from black-owned businesses. She chronicled their year- journey in a book titled, “Our Black Year: One Family's Quest to Buy Black in America’s Racially Divided Economy.”

“In the Asian community the dollar circulates among that community’s banks, re-tailers and professionals for

up to 28 days before it goes to outsider; in the Jewish community that circulation period is from 19-21 days; in the White suburbs - 17 days; for our Hispanic brothers and sisters – 7 days, but in our community, the strong, black community – we keep our dollar for 6 hours,” An-derson said in her speech at the Urban League luncheon.

Throughout the year-long quest to buy black, the An-dersons spent over $90,000 and almost 90 percent of all the products they bought were from black businesses. That included buying many household goods from a black-owned Dollar Store, buying groceries 20 miles from her home, putting mon-ey in a black-owned bank and using a black-owned dry cleaners. This quest also led to her small children often going without clothes, shoes and toys.

The Andersons were tar-geted with lots of hate mail by various racial groups who said they were racists. Why is it called racism when a black family decides to buy goods from black-owned business-es? The answer is because in big corporations, it’s the universal and accepted idea that African Americans are always the loyal consumers, loyal to certain brands, and corporations don’t have to do anything in return for our community to earn our dol-

Buying black: Inspiring a spirit of legacy in our youth

By Dave FidlinSpecial to the Milwaukee Times

As a child of Jamaican im-migrants, lifelong Milwaukee resident David F. Bowen grew up with a unique perspective on American democracy that he claims helped develop a strong work ethic.

Bowen, elected to the 10th District supervisory seat on the Milwaukee County Board in April, said he has used the bedrock of his formative experiences to represent his constituents fairly and un-abashedly in his first eight months in elected office.

“It’s been a learning expe-rience,” Bowen said of his time on the board. “There’s been some hard work. My parents taught me the val-ues of hard work, so this has

been very rewarding.” At age 25, Bowen is one

of the youngest elected offi-cials ever in the city’s history.

Time magazine on Wednesday, December 19, 2012, named recently re-elected US President Barack Obama as its person of the year for 2012 -- the second time it has accorded him the accolade.

Obama now not only has a reelection as America's first black president and a Nobel peace prize under his belt, but he beat fancied runners-up, including brave Pakistani girls' rights activist Malala Yousafzai, to be enshrined again as Time's dominant personality of the year.

The venerable American news magazine put Obama on its cover, striking a thoughtful, statuesque pose, and said he deserved the honor as "the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America."

The magazine lauded Obama's campaigning prow-ess, noting he was the first president since Franklin Del-

ano Roosevelt to win more than 50 percent of the vote in two straight elections and the first president since 1940 to be re-elected despite a job-less rate above 7.5 percent.

Obama beat Republican Mitt Romney soundly in No-vember's election to win a second four-year term, de-spite presiding over a chronic economic slump.

"In 2012, he found and forged a new majority, turned weakness into opportunity

and sought, amid great adver-sity, to create a more perfect union," said Time, which had

named Obama person of the year back in 2008 when he won his historic first presi-

dential election.

Milwaukee’s 'Make Your Money Talk' program sets new graduation record in 2012

The "Make Your Money Talk" program, a financial education course offered by the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) and the Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corpora-tion (WWBIC), continued its outreach into the Milwaukee community by recognizing

96 graduates of the program at a ceremony held Decem-ber 11, 2012.

An additional 129 gradu-ates were recognized in June, leading to a record number of graduates for the year.

“In 2012, 225 Milwau-kee residents successfully completed the 'Make Your

Money Talk Program,' a new record for us,” said HACM Secretary-Executive Director Tony Pérez. “With financial education and a sound sav-ings plan as the foundation, this program has moved hundreds of individuals to-ward self sufficiency and helped strengthen our com-

munity.” Early in 2012, the program

received a financial boost through a $15,000 com-petitive innovation grant to Mayor Tom Barrett from the US Conference of Mayors, allowing for the expansion of the program to more

2012 a gunman shot to death 27 people, including 20 chil-dren, at Sandy Hook Ele-mentary School in Newtown, CT, in a rampage that Presi-dent Barack Obama said has horrified the country.

Police identified the gun-man as Adam Lanza, 20, who was found dead in the school. Lanza’s mother, Nancy, a kindergarten teacher at San-dy Hook, was also killed in a residence near the school. At the time of this writing, it is not known whether the resi-dence where Nancy Lanza’s body was found was her resi-dence, her son Adam’s resi-dence or a home they shared.

Lt. Paul Vance of the Con-necticut State Police, told reporters during a news con-ference that police checked every room of the school. Among the dead are teachers and administrators.

Police said the shooter was armed with two to four guns. He wore a bullet proof vest and dark clothing, accord-

ing to unconfirmed news re-ports.

Newtown police received a call a little after 9:30 a.m. about the shooting, Lt. Vance said

Local police, state police and police from surround-ing towns quickly converged on Sandy Hook Elementary School. Approximately 626 students are enrolled in kin-dergarten through 4th grade classes at Sandy Hook. There are 46 faculty members.

President Obama wiped tears from his eyes as he dis-cussed the shooting. “They had their entire lives ahead of them, birthdays, gradua-tions, weddings, kids of their own,” the president said. He added that he was heartbro-ken for the parents of surviv-ing children who were forced to live through the incident.

President Obama also al-luded to other recent mass shootings. There have been five since he took office in 2009.

“As a country, we have been through this too many

times. Whether it is an ele-mentary school in Newtown or a shopping mall in Or-egon, or a temple in Wiscon-sin, or a movie theater in Au-rora or a street corner in Chi-cago---these neighborhoods

are our neighborhoods, and these children are our chil-dren,” the president said.

Newtown is a town in Fair-field County, Connecticut, that was founded in 1705. Its population is over 27,000

and is 95 percent white. The median income for a house-hold in Newtown is $90,193, and the median income for a family was $99,192, accord-ing to data collected in 2007.

Rep. Tim Scott of South Carolina to be first black Republican senator since 1978

Timothy Eugene Scott was growing up poor and black in Charleston, S.C., the son of a nurse’s aide who worked 16-hour shifts, when Strom Thurmond, who ran for president as the standard-bearer for segregationists, was at the peak of his pow-ers in the Senate.

On Monday, December 17, 2012 the congressman was named to fill the office once held by Thurmond (R), making him the first black Republican to serve in the Senate since Edward Brooke of Massachusetts lost his bid for reelection in 1978. It also makes him the first African American senator from the South since Reconstruction and only the seventh black person ever to serve in that chamber. Gov. Nikki Haley (R) selected him to succeed Jim DeMint (R), who is retir-ing.

Despite his very conser-vative beliefs, Democrats should not discount what the African American's appoint-

ment means.The appointment pro-

pels Scott, 47, into the front ranks of a Republican Party trying to demonstrate that it can speak to a broader, non-white constituency. He joins Sen. Marco Rubio (FL), Sen.-elect Ted Cruz (TX) and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in putting a more diverse face on the GOP.

“It is a great day for South Carolina. It is a historic day for South Carolina,” said Haley, the daughter of Indi-an immigrants and the state’s first female governor,

As the only black U.S. sen-ator, Scott will become one of the most visible and im-portant conservative figures in the country, one whose new prominence will require him to navigate a new set of political realities.

His rise to the Senate would be historic had it hap-pened anywhere in the Deep South. That he has come to power in South Carolina — home to an especially brutal

tradition of racially charged politics and where the Con-federate flag still flies in front of the statehouse — gives the story even more reso-nance.

Scott is accustomed to breaking barriers. His 1995 election to the Charleston County Council made him the first African American Republican to hold any state office since 1902. That led to him serving as state co-chair-man of Thurmond’s final

Senate campaign, in 1996.He moved to the state

legislature in 2008 and two years later beat Thurmond’s son and Carroll Campbell III, the son of a former gov-ernor, in the Republican pri-mary for the state’s 1st Con-gressional District.

As a freshman, he joined the call to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and opposed an increase in the federal debt ceiling. He is a steadfast sup-porter of gun rights who received a 92 percent vot-ing rating from the National Rifle Association.

Scott’s highest-profile moment until Monday was probably a two-minute speech at the Republican National Convention.

Scott will have to work hard to hang on to the Sen-ate seat. He will face a spe-cial election in 2014 for the final two years of DeMint’s term, and if he wins, anoth-er race in 2016 for a full six-year term.

si and Speaker of the House John Boehner, which read in part, “The scourge of gun violence cries out for a com-prehensive new approach to community safety and crime reduction. This requires stronger enforcement of ex-isting gun laws, re-enactment of the assault weapons ban and a thoughtful examina-

tion of criminal justice sys-tem disparities...”

Morial noted research shows that more guns lead to more homicides, and states with stricter regulations on firearms have fewer gun-related deaths. The United States has the highest rate of firearm deaths of any de-veloped country, with more than 12,000 a year - twenty times the average of other developed nations.

“I believe that even the most ardent defenders of the Second Amendment want to find a way to keep military-style assault rifles out of the hands of violent criminals and the mentally unstable,” Morial said. “We must seize this moment of national unity and work together for a solution.

“President Obama said it best in his address to the people of Newtown: Surely we can do better than this.”

MPS sends thoughts, prayers to ConnecticutBy Dr. Gregory E. Thornton, SuperintendentMilwaukee Public Schools

Dear MPS families,By now, you have probably

heard about the tragic loss of life of students and staff at an elementary school in Con-necticut. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by Friday’s tragedy.

I want to assure you that your child’s safety is our ut-most concern. We have every reason to believe that Friday’s event is an isolated tragedy.

However, as a precaution, all school staff have reviewed their safety plans and been reminded to stay watchful. We continue to review our security measures to make sure we’re taking every mea-sure possible to protect your child.

We also need your help. Remind your child to tell an adult right away if they see or hear anything unusual.

Children may hear about this event from a variety of sources. Our school psy-chologists have a few sugges-tions to help.

Talk to your child about this, but consider the age and developmental level of your child as you speak.

Ask open ended questions like, “What did you hear?” or

“How are you feeling?”, so you’ll know what your child knows and what his or her concerns may be.

Be calm when talking to your child. Your child will take cues from your reaction.

Reassure your child that adults are there to help them.

Maintain normal house-hold routines, but do not minimize the incident.

Remember that, depend-ing on your child’s age, it may not be appropriate to have him or her watch ongoing media coverage of the event.

If your child is having un-usual difficulty handling this tragedy, please contact your school’s social worker or psy-chologist for help.

Friday’s school shooting in Connecticut is 1,000 miles away from Milwaukee. But today we are drawn closer by our grief and concern.

On December 17, 2012, National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial reiterated his call for a reinstatement of the assault weapons ban, along with a comprehensive review of all gun laws to close loopholes and strengthen enforcement.

“When little children in their classrooms are not safe from gun violence, it’s time for a serious reexamination of our national priorities.” Morial said. “The physical safety of America’s children is far more important than the political safety of Ameri-ca’s elected officials.”

The day after Election Day, Morial sent a letter to President Obama, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelo-

than 5,700 households in HACM’s Section 8 Rent As-sistance Program. Prior to 2012, the program had been promoted to approximately 4,500 low-income house-holds served by HACM.

“The investment by the US Conference of Mayors has resulted in more people gaining the skills they need to become self-sufficient and achieve their financial goals,” says Mayor Barrett. “Their efforts help Milwau-kee grow.”

Mayor Barrett served as keynote speaker for the event, which was held at the Housing Authority’s Hill-side Family Resource Center, 1452 N. 7th Street.

“Financial literacy provides a solid foundation for resi-dents to achieve their goals,” says Wendy Baumann, WW-BIC president. “We are pleased to see record par-ticipation in the 'Make Your Money Work' program this year.”

Participants attend an in-tensive four-week course

that guides them through basic personal financial man-agement strategies as well as introductions to home own-ership, investing and starting a business. Participants can open an Individual Develop-ment Account (IDA), which provides a two-to-one match for every dollar the partici-pant saves. Graduates can use the funds to invest in a home, to pay for education or start a business.

“ 'Make Your Money Talk' is a hallmark partnership be-tween the Housing Author-ity and WWBIC,” said Com-mon Council President and HACM Board Chair Willie Hines, Jr. “The program has inspired low-income in-dividuals citywide to achieve greater financial stability.”

Since 2004, more than 800 low-income individuals have graduated, and more than 630 have opened IDAs and collectively saved over $240,000. Graduates can combine their funds with the matching dollars to invest in a home, to pay for education or start a business. Sixty-two HACM participants have become homeowners and property taxpayers; 45 have invested in their education and 34 have started busi-nesses.

TIMEmagazine names Obama 2012person of the year(Continued from pg. 1)

Perhaps the most poi-gnant alternative to Obama on Time's shortlist was Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl who continued to campaign for the right to education after being shot and nearly killed by the Tali-ban.

The others were Apple CEO Tim Cook, Egypt's

post-revolutionary President Mohamed Morsi, and atomic physicist Fabiola Gianotti.

Person of the year, or what was long called "man of the year," acknowledges what the magazine considers to be the world's biggest newsmaker, or influential mover.

Since the tradition started in 1927, US presidents have been systematically featured, as have big names like Mi-crosoft's Bill Gates, but also more symbolic winners like "the protester" last year or "US scientists" in 1960.

In the past Time has showed its editorial teeth by naming sinister figures _ Ad-olf Hitler in 1938 and Joseph Stalin both in 1939 and 1942.

But since the leader of Iran's Islamist revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, graced the cover in 1979, the maga-zine has tended to shy from picks that might upset its mostly American readership. A notable absence was al-

Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

Obama could not be a less controversial choice.

Time said he swept to the head of the pack because of his ability to grasp the demo-graphic and social changes shifting the United States.

"The truth is," Obama told Time, "that we have steadily become a more diverse and tolerant country that embrac-es people's differences and respects people who are not like us. That's a profoundly good thing. That's one of the strengths of America."

Time said Obama was about "convergence of past and future" and said his sec-ond term would see him be-ing "more assertive, more personal, more willing to risk his political capital for what he truly believes."

Never enough teddy bearsSince the senseless mas-

sacre of 26 people at an el-ementary school in the up-scale, small town of New-town, CT, on Friday, Decem-ber 14, 2012, newspapers, newscasts, and coffee-break conversations have been dominated by the subject of the easy accessibility in the United States of firearms – especially those weapons designed for use in warfare and for the sole purpose of destroying human life.

Nationwide and world-wide, people are asking: “How does something like this happen?” They want to know: “What can we do so that it doesn’t happen again?”

In the last four months of 2012 alone, there have been five occurrences of mass violence in the U. S. that have claimed scores of lives at the end of a gun. Fifty-nine people have been killed or wounded needlessly – in-cluding six at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, WI, and eight at a spa in Brookfield. Did it take the murder of 20 six- and seven-year-olds and six of their teachers in a school – supposedly a safe haven

for learning – to force us as a society to wake up and take a critical look at ourselves in the mirror? We’ll see.

Let’s face it. The U.S. – paragon of civilization, the envy of the world, a legend in its own mind – is in a state of denial. Our society and culture are nurtured by a le-thal daily cocktail comprised of:

• Ultra-lax gun laws• Glamorized violence in

popular culture• Marginalized and stigma-

tized mental health issues• Twisted national priori-

ties that value things over the well-being of people

Our country is the only industrialized nation that guarantees its citizens access to firearms as a fundamental right. Practically anyone can own a gun or gain access to one, legally or illegally. Be-cause of this so-called right, we as a nation lump all guns and their users in one bunch. However, a hunting rifle or shotgun has a much different purpose than an AK-47 or a Bushmaster assault rifle.

Our culture is one of the few on the planet that glam-

orizes violence. Movies, TV, books, periodicals and mu-sic are drenched in violent acts. With or without paren-tal intervention, it’s hard for the growing mind not to get the impression that all this killing is a normal response when things don’t go your way. Those among us with no sense of empathy, right or wrong have often used these violent media as inspirational primers in planning and ex-ecuting their outrageous and unconscionable actions.

In most schools, children are screened at an early age for hearing and vision abnor-malities. Adults are encour-aged to have annual physical check-ups and screenings for various diseases. How-ever, routine assessments for mental disorders are rarely performed, unless someone exhibits inordinately bizarre behavior. And then, some-one has to have the courage

to report it and seek help. Intervention rarely happens.

In addition, community-based mental health agen-cies are not readily available; and if they are, services are often limited, costly, or not covered by insurance. Per-haps we should care as much about what’s going inside our heads as much as we value what we put on them.

We pride ourselves on be-ing a nation governed by laws and rational thinking. But we have an irrational need

to protect a political agenda that is killing us as a nation, one person at a time. We regulate other things, such as cars, drugs and alcohol, that can have lethal consequences in the wrong hands. Yet, it’s hands-off when it comes to regulating guns in an effec-tive way. Given our macho national self-image, it may be too much to ask to ban guns altogether. But we must re-order our national priori-ties and grow a backbone when it comes to protecting our citizens from needless harm– especially our chil-dren. We must acquire the political will to do the right thing, and not just the politi-cally correct stop-gap thing, where guns are concerned.

These days in Newtown and across the country, makeshift shrines featuring candles, teddy bears, bal-loons, and words of trib-ute have sprung up to help us cope with the loss and the sorrow that we all feel in sympathy. But until we make a fundamental change and deal with root causes and consequences, there will never be enough teddy bears to ease our national pain.

By Martha Noebel

It's that time of year again. December has come and with it all the joys of Christ-mas. But what is the real meaning of Christmas? Is it the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, the cards in the mail, turkey din-ners with family and friends, snow in the yard, and shouts of "Merry Christmas" to those who pass us in the

streets? For many people, Christ-

mas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christ-mas time when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Turkey din-ners may be only a wish and not a reality for some.

Yet, Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. You see, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. Shep-herds, wise men, and angels all shared in the excitement of knowing about this great event. They knew this was no ordinary baby. The prophets had told of His coming hun-dreds of years before. The star stopped over Bethle-hem just to mark the way for those who were looking for this special child.

Luke 2: 4-19 says: "So Joseph also went up

from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Beth-lehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields near-by, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the

angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

"This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a man-ger." Suddenly a great com-pany of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.'

"When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one an-other, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.' So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word con-cerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."

Why did He come? Why did God send His son to this sometimes cruel and hard world? He sent Jesus to us so that one day, He would grow up to become a very impor-tant part of history. His sto-ry (history) is one of truth, love, and hope. It brought salvation to all of us. With-out Jesus, we would all die in our sins.

Jesus was born so one day the price could be paid for the things we have done that are wrong. The Bible says that all have sinned. We are all born with a sinful nature. We do things that do not please God. Through the sins of Adam and Eve, we have all inherited that sinful nature. We need to have that removed. The only way is through Jesus. Jesus came so He could die on the cross for ALL of our sins. If we be-lieve that Jesus died for our sins, we can ask Him to come into our hearts and forgive us. Then, we are clean and made whole. We can know that heaven is a place where we can go to when this life is over.

"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong." (I John 1:9)

We can truly be happy at Christmas! No matter what may be happening, we can know that we are His chil-dren. We then become sons and daughters of God. Heav-en will be our home one day.

Look at Christmas in a new way this year. This is the year to invite Jesus into your heart. You will then have a "Merry Christmas." The joy and peace you will receive will last all year as you look to God for all your needs to be met.

Honorary service award bestowed upon Attorney Michael F. Hupy

Attorney Michael F. Hupy was recognized at the Center for Teaching Entrepreneur-ship (CTE) Harvest of Hope Dinner on Thursday, De-cember 6, 2012 at Marquette University. An honorary service award was bestowed upon Attorney Hupy in rec-ognition of his seventeen years of service on the CTE Board of Directors, his lead-ership in recent years as CTE Board President, and for his stewardship and involvement in the community.

As board member and past president of CTE, At-torney Hupy has helped em-power thousands of local youth with the education and mindset to take ownership of their future. CTE offers a variety of programs that pro-mote business and life skills to Milwaukee youth. Its mis-sion is to research, develop, implement, and advocate for programs that utilize the fun-damentals of entrepreneur-ship and promote financial and personal responsibility.

Douglas Kelley, President of the CTE Board, presented the award to Attorney Hupy. “We would like to thank At-torney Hupy for his legacy of leadership and highest standards of service to CTE. He will always be known as a lifelong friend to the orga-nization. He has touched all of us and empowered many young people. We thank you

for your hard work and dedi-cation to CTE.”

Hupy and Abraham, S.C. was a sponsor of the 21st An-nual Harvest of Hope Din-ner which recognized CTE participants. CTE serves over 1000 youth annually. 100 percent of program participants complete high school. 80 percent go on to pursue higher education and 93 percent are employed. One hundred percent of CTE students remain drug free, stay clear of gangs and have not become teen par-ents.

At the dinner Attorney Hupy announced that after seventeen years of service, this would be his last year serving on the board and made a private donation to continue to empower thou-sands of Milwaukee youth

Hupy and Abraham, S.C., is a personal injury law firm offering a proven record of success with large settlements in serious cases. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. has collected hundreds of millions of dollars for thousands of satisfied clients for over 40 years. The mission of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. is to do well by doing good, giving back to the community and promoting and sponsoring scholarships, edu-cation, safety, and community pro-grams. In 2011, the firm donated over $150,000 to more than 100 community organizations. www.hupy.com.

12 Education

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students often get hands-on experience in their field while earning a degree

COmmuNITy COlumN

Two of this December’s top graduates – Nick Rob-inson and Otoniel Encarna-cion – used that combination of work and study to find success. Robinson is gradu-ating with a master’s degree in architecture and Encarna-cion with a BBA in Finance.

Throughout Encarnacion’s college career, he worked full time or near full time while also balancing full-time coursework. He managed to do it all – even double major-ing – in just four years and six months. “I knew I was going to have to work full

time to put myself through college and that it would be really hard, but I now know it was worth it,” he says.

After spending three years working as a bank teller, he landed an accounting intern-ship at Northwestern Mu-tual, where he still works. “What I learned at UWM made me more confident to take on more challenging jobs,” says Encarnacion, who plans to go on for a master’s degree at UWM.

Nick Robinson, who de-

cided to become an architect when he was in grade school, started interning at the Ui-hlein/Wilson architecture firm while in high school, and continued to work there through undergraduate and graduate school. As a child he loved to draw, filling note-books with cartoon charac-ters and whatever caught his interest. An architect who visited his elementary school for career day cemented his career choice. Robinson was blown away by the experi-ence, discovering – “He gets paid to draw!”

Encarnacion was a senior at South Division High School when his college plans were seriously disrupted. Because of a paperwork glitch with his father’s visa, he and his family had to return to the Dominican Republic, which they’d left nearly five years before. “It was a shock for everybody,” Encarnacion says. “I cried the first day I got there because I didn’t know anyone anymore. It was a rough time.”

He and his family put their

life in Milwaukee on hold, thinking they’d only be gone for three months while they got the paperwork resolved. But instead, three months stretched to three years. Af-ter returning to Milwaukee and completing an associate’s degree at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), Encarnacion started at UWM’s Lubar School of Business.

Both graduates were en-couraged by faculty mem-bers and programs at UWM.

As a McNair Scholar, Rob-inson worked with Professor Mike Utzinger to study the city’s heat island effect and water retention on the Urban Ecology Center’s green roof.

He also studied abroad for three months in France and Spain. “Paris is a freaking playground for architecture. Even their apartment build-ings look like something you’d take a picture of.”

Last semester, Robinson went with Associate Profes-sor Gil Snyder to tour Bos-ton’s architecture.

On campus, Encarnacion was active in Beta Alpha Psi, an honorary organization for accounting students. He cred-its Beta Alpha Psi’s network-

ing opportunities, which in-troduced him to accounting professionals throughout the city, with helping him earn a postgraduate internship at the prestigious accounting firm Deloitte in downtown Milwaukee. “I feel pretty lucky,” he says.

Jim Fischer, a lecturer in accounting, says Encarna-cion stood out because of his ready smile and intense focus during his advanced finan-cial accounting course. They continued to meet from time to time after Fischer’s class was over. “He was a student who was just fun to work with,” Fischer says. “He has

a lot of maturity for his age.”Encarnacion plans to con-

tinue on for a graduate de-gree at UWM, and become a Certified Public Accountant. He never considered going anywhere but UWM for his graduate work. “The pro-gram is amazing,” says En-carnacion. “Everything has gone so smoothly so I don’t see a reason to move to an-other school.”

It hasn’t always been easy, he adds. But that’s part of what has made this gradua-tion day so worthwhile. “I’m most proud that I made it, that I put myself through school working full time.”

14 Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial

education programs

Cut your holiday expensesThe closer the holidays

loom, the less time harried families have to buy gifts, plan seasonal events and make travel arrangements. Unfortunately, when time is at a premium and you’re forced to make last-minute decisions, it’s usually your budget that suffers.

As an occasional procrasti-nator myself, let me share a few tips I’ve picked up over the years that can help take the expense – and stress – out of holiday planning:

Before you start shop-ping, calculate how much you can afford to spend on the holidays as a portion of your overall budget. If your finances are in good shape, spend no more than 1.5 percent of your annual in-come. But if you’re deeply in debt, can’t meet your regular monthly expenses or don’t have an emergency fund, this isn’t the time to rack up ad-ditional debt.

Once you determine an overall amount, tally up ex-pected holiday-related ex-penses including gifts, deco-

rations, new clothes and accessories, gift-wrap, cards, postage, special meals and year-end gratuities. Don’t forget travel-related expenses if you plan to leave town, and try to re-call unanticipated expenses from last year.

If you’re looking for ways to cut back, consider:

• Arrange gift lotteries with fam-ily members and friends so everyone concentrates their time, ef-fort and money on buying fewer, nicer gifts.

• Speak candidly with friends, coworkers and ex-tended family about placing a moratorium on exchanging gifts. They’re probably feel-ing the pinch too.

• If the gift-giving gesture is important to you, suggest pooling resources with oth-ers to make a sizeable con-tribution to a charity you all believe in.

Once you’ve determined your overall holiday spend-ing budget – and before you start shopping – make a de-tailed list that includes:

• Everyone on your shop-ping list.

• Spending limits and sev-eral gift alternatives for each person.

• How much you actually spend on each gift. If you overspend on one present you’ll need to make up for it elsewhere.

• What you gave each person – to avoid giving them the same thing next year.

• What each per-son gave you to avoid “re-gifting” di-sasters later on.

• Other expenses (decorations, etc.)

Some people relish hunting for bargains; others loathe it. Ei-ther way, here are a few money-saving tips:

• Clip newspaper and online coupons.

Stores often match competi-tors’ prices even if their own items aren’t on sale. Plus, many consolidation websites post downloadable coupons and sale codes for online re-tailers.

• Mobile shopping apps let in-store smartphone and tablet users scan product barcodes and make on-the-spot price comparisons, read reviews, download coupons, buy products and more.

• If you’re traveling for

the holidays, note that many airlines charge $25 or more for each checked bag. Many stores and websites ship gifts for free, saving you hassle at the airport.

• Carefully read purchase-return policies for deadlines, exclusions (e.g., for sale or clearance items) and restock-ing charges.

• Keep receipts. Many re-tailers will refund the price difference if an item goes on sale within a few weeks after purchase.

• Check whether your credit card agreement pro-vides free product warranty extensions and/or price pro-tection.

And finally, consider the gift of time. Older relatives don’t need more chocolates, but they probably could use help with chores, running er-rands or rides to doctor’s ap-pointments. Plus, they would probably appreciate your company. Offer to babysit for harried parents so they can run a few errands or sim-ply recharge their batteries.

David F. Bowen (Continued from pg. 1)

At the moment, he is the youngest of the 18 members serving on the Milwaukee County Board.

While he thought about possibly becoming an elected official, Bowen readily admits he did not have a set agenda to seek office at this stage of his life. But the scenario be-came a viable option through a course of events.

“This community needs strong leadership, and I be-lieve leadership had been lacking in the past,” said Bowen, a 2000 graduate of Bradley Tech High School. “Not everyone has been rep-resenting the needs of the people. I always thought I could do the job, and prob-ably better than what I had been seeing.”

For years, Bowen has been involved in various capacities with Urban Underground, a Milwaukee-based organiza-tion aimed at engaging youth and giving them opportuni-ties to address some of the most pressing issues within their communities. Since its founding in 2000, more than 500 city youth have actively been a part of the organiza-

tion.“I had become very active

in a number of issues facing this community,” Bowen said of his role with Urban Un-derground.

He currently is seeking a degree in educational policy and community studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Late in 2011, Bowen came in contact with Eyon Biddle, who served as his predeces-sor in the 10th District seat on the County Board. This spring, Biddle relinquished that seat and ran unsuccess-fully against Milwaukee al-derman and Common Coun-cil president Willie Hines.

Biddle encouraged Bowen to run for the seat, and a year ago everything came togeth-er.

“I did a lot of knocking on doors and I heard the needs of people,” said Bowen, who has constituents on the north side and lower east side with-in Milwaukee. “Because of my experience, and my de-sire to hear from people, I feel that I was able to hit the ground running when I came on the board.”

Past experience aside, Bowen readily admits his first eight months have pre-sented bountiful opportuni-ties to learn how government works. One of the most im-

portant aspects, he said, has been grasping how to work with his elected colleagues on the board – some of whom have different ideologies and interests – as well as County Executive Chris Abele.

“This is definitely a pro-cess of checks and balanc-es,” Bowen said. “It’s really about finding that common ground. The county execu-tive, for example, is very different from me in terms of background and social make-up. But I support his leadership. I think that’s im-portant.”

Compared to prior years, the process of adopting the county’s 2013 budget was less contentious. Bowen said the entire process – including listening sessions and weigh-ing the priorities of people across the county – was in-teresting, rewarding and time-intensive.

The budget review also was an opportunity – albeit a disappointing one – for Bowen to receive a first-hand glimpse his goals and visions will not always come to frui-tion amid a board filled with people who might have dif-ferent viewpoints.

During budget delibera-tions, Bowen staunchly advo-cated to not only keep but re-model the Calvin C. Moody Pool, 2200 W. Burleigh St.,

within his district. The build-ing has sat empty for a de-cade, and Abele successfully gained board approval to have the entire facility razed and replaced with an out-door splash pad.

With a desire to provide safe, recreational opportuni-ties for youth in his district, Bowen was hoping the pool and its entire facility would be resurrected.

“Each decision (made on the County Board) has its pros and cons,” Bowen said. “The decision on the Moody Pool was my learning mo-ment. I can’t always get what I want.”

But Bowen’s first eight months have been marked with high points. He was able to help resurrect an outdoor concert program at Johnson Park, 1919 W. Fond du Lac Ave., for one installment this summer. The response has been positive, Bowen said, and additional installments are in the works.

Moving forward, Bowen also is banding together with a majority of the County Board and advocating for the future of the Milwau-kee County Transit System, which faces an uncertain fu-ture after grant funding runs out in 2014.

“We have to figure out what we’re going to do be-

cause this is a vital service, and we can’t just let transit fall off the cliff,” Bowen said. “There needs to be pressure at the state level to help sup-port it.”

More recently, Bowen has also stepped outside the lines of county government – a maneuver he readily admits has garnered some criticism. In recent weeks, he vocally called on the Milwaukee Po-lice and Fire Commission, under the auspices of city – not county – government, to discharge police officer Rich-ard Schoen for his handling of a woman in custody. The officer was relieved of his duties last week.

Bowen said his calls for action were not meant to overstep the bounds of the Common Council. But he said he was calling for clear and decisive action, not only for Schoen’s future with the department, but the make-up of the commission itself.

“I can’t sit idly by when constituents bring their con-cerns to me,” Bowen said. “This is something that I’ve been hearing about a lot from the people in my dis-trict. We need to be holding one another accountable.”

Accountability, Bowen said, is one of the keys to addressing some of Milwau-kee’s most pressing issues.

Buying black (Continued from pg. 1)

conducted by Northwest-ern University’s Kellogg School of Business. The study showed that out of the African-American com-munity's 1-trillion dollars in buying power, maybe 3 per-

cent of that goes back into black-owned businesses. If we increase that 3 percent to 10 percent, we could create close to one million jobs in our communities.

The Empowerment Ex-periment examines how all African Americans can do just a little bit more to sup-port black-owned businesses in their community, to recy-cle black wealth, to ease the unemployment rate in under-served neighborhoods, and provide youth with entrepre-neurs as role models. In the black community, we have to inspire a spirit of legacy in our children - that same fight from the civil rights marches, the same fight that elected our first black President.

“In Racine, our neighbors

to the south, you have S.C. Johnson, makers of various household products, but why can’t that Johnson and that son - be black?

It’s not right to tell them [our children] how it used to be. Baby, we used to have hotel chains, and interna-tional design houses, stock brokerages, insurance com-panies, hospital systems, steel mills, and entire industrial manufacturing regions in Birmingham and Baltimore, it’s not right to keep telling these kids to look backwards for inspiration.” Anderson pleaded passionately to the crowd.

It’s not Anderson’s idea to have everyone try to buy black for a year. She doesn’t suggest that. “I don’t want to

guilt people into this, but what I’m saying is that we can all do a little bit more. Stop say-ing, there isn’t a black-owned dry cleaners – well, did you look?” There is a lack of awareness in our community and there are other problems that plague black businesses as well. Black business own-ers oftentimes lack financing and funding, proper business training and education, em-ployees and customer service skills. But once we overcome the lack of awareness we can do bit by bit to support their businesses so that they can hire more employees, get better funding or go back to school to get more training so that our children can go into shops and see owners that look like them.
