How Does the Great Leader Develop the Influencer Within?

By Jerome Buckley, Publisher The Michigan Banner God chooses what we go through. We choose how we go through it. Viktor Emil Frankl, MD, PhD, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor. The profound quote by Dr. Frankl is as relevant today, if not more so, as when it was said by the doctor many years ago. In this edition of the Michigan Banner, we are highlighting leadership from the prospective of our contributors of different generations. The thoughts of each writer are impressive, and I am very excited with the actions of leadership of our Great Lakes Bay Region millennial generation. The qualities of a great leader covers many facets, however, I would like to focus on the influence of the leader within that eventually will influence others throughout our world communities. I have heard many within the baby boomer generation wonder, what has happened to the millennial generation and why dont they get it. Well, as a contributor to media with a positive edge, I must say that what I have viewed among the millennial culture is the fact they are followers of those with the type of influence, or capacity to sway them, because of the influence within the particular leader. Yes, you will think, what is the difference? I would answer that question with the fact that the end result of the swaying is different. As a baby boomer, I remember being influenced by how the people I was looking to could make my life better and for those around me , and as I married and had children of my own, I was concerned with how could I make life better for them. Now, I am not saying that many in the millennial culture are not concerned with a better life for themselves and their families, as well as their communities, but there is a pretty large part of our population that hasnt reached that point as of yet, or sadly, because of violence, or an incapacity, be it mental, or other factors to get to that point in life, they do not reach the beneficial goal because again that sway is different. Many of those unreachable with the different sway are leaders of many followers within our communities. There have always been leaders that have perhaps looked to the money, rather than to the good of the money for the many, but with the wonderful invention and use of technology, the unreachable leader has the ability to communicate with many of their willing followers. Therefore, their influence as leaders has grown beyond any control that may have been present when their access was limited. I am reminded of the episode not long ago involving a creative piece by Lil Wayne that decimated the memory of Emmett Till. The outcry of the family of Emmett Till, and eventually others, forced the advertiser to drop their sponsorship of Lil Wayne. However, his followers, or fans, have not dropped Lil Wayne, and so his beat goes on. What is his influence? I am told by others he is talented, and that he lives as he desires to live, he exudes to his followers, freedom. I find it interesting that through interviews, namely, with Katie Couric while she was at CBS, his biological father has never been a part of his life, and because he was a Dwayne Jr., he dropped the D so he would not be identifiable with his father. Unfortunately, within our communities of today, there are many who are influenced by the Lil Waynes because they are living within his life, or his influence within. How can they grow their leadership skills, or influence themselves to go beyond the influences of others, and make the communities a rich place for everyone as they become great leaders for within SEE P 2, The Influence From Within

True Leadership Is . . .
By Corey Pritchett For The Michigan Banner I would like to first of all begin with two Key words, integration and socialization. To all Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics, grab your race card and throw it in the garbage where it belongs! I believe that everyone who lives in the Great Lakes Bay Region, are those whom I would consider a part of our community, including Flint. It is time for the shakers in our community to step forward and demonstrate true leadership and unity amongst one another. Someone may ask what is true leadership? Others may ask isnt there already true leadership in tact? My answer to the latter would be yes! However, there is a need for the true leader to come forth and begin to walk in their purpose as a leader. I say this because a true leader more than likely will not start with the title of leader. Most people believe that our leaders are those with titles in front of their names, and this is what constitutes them as a leader. Granted, there are some with titles, however, I can guarantee their role as a leader may not have started right after FROM P 1, The Influence From Within the forthcoming generations. I believe that relationships between the generations are a must. The baby boomers must teach and listen. Many of those who think of Lil Wayne as a leader did not know who Emmett Till was, or the history behind his deathI knowI talked to them. How can this be happening? The millennial leaders with beneficial goals to improve the quality of life, without the violence, must also listen and come together with they received the title. I always say that true leadership is birthed from servanthood. Someone who is a true leader is a servant first without the designated goal of becoming a leader. This is the individual who serves their community from the heart in whatever manner this may be. A true leader doesnt just aspire to be someone, because they already understand that they are someone. So many people in our community want to be acknowledged as a leader, when they havent truly been a servant. Your money, number of events, being in the media, size of your house, title in front of your name, etc., the list goes on, does not qualify you as a leader. Communities need leaders, no matter what we may think or say, however, they must not strive to only elect or choose someone to become their leader. Leaders, true leaders, are known by their fruit. Here are some characteristics you can expect from a true leader: Servanthood Leads by example Man/Woman after Gods heart Compassionate Visionary all generations. I was blessed with several people within my family that shared their influencers within and others within Saginaw that reached over beyond the generations and helped me to grow and stay focused, such as, Anne Roberts, Ray Culpepper, Harry Browne, Gene Guster, Joe Stephens, and William Hodges. They were instrumental in helping me to obtain my first real job and staying focused throughout the years. I salute Henry G. Marsh, a man of integrity, compassion, commitment and love for the City of Saginaw, Love Integrity Fulfilled in working with others High self esteem Lives on purpose to achieve purpose Values Family Unselfishness Doesnt seek filthy lucre(love of money) Knows how to handle the spotlight, but doesnt need it for affirmation Im quite sure there are additional qualities we could add to define a true leader, but I just wanted to give a glimpse of what we can look for in an individual who we call a true leader. Thus, our leaders can include mothers, fathers, teachers, students, preachers, doctors, managers of restaurants, etc. Let us begin to examine ways to develop leaders, so that our community can flourish and become what we all want it to be. A place where we can raise families, do business, and enjoy the fruits of our labor. How do we develop leaders? Lead by example and begin to demonstrate the characteristics I have mentioned in our everyday lives.
and thank him for the many years he shared his developed influencer from within. I would also like to thank Senator Roger Kahn for the special tribute, on page 3, to the Michigan Banner and the Michigan Banner Outreach during our 10 year anniversary this year. Lets remember that each leader has an influencer inside, who are you influencing so they will grow their leadership skills to a level to create a safe community for all generations?

Michigan Has Highest Unemployment Rate for African Americans in Nation
By Judy Putnam Michigan League for Public Policy Michigan workers were hit hard by the Great Recession but the states African American workers continue to suffer a far higher unemployment rate, a new Economic Policy Institute Issue Brief finds, with Michigans black unemployment rate the highest among the 24 states where it can be measured. In Ongoing Joblessness in Michigan: Unemployment rate for African Americans tops in nation, more than double the states white rate, EPI researchers Douglas Hall and Mary Gable find that the African American unemployment rate in Michigan reached 18.7 percentnearly one in five of the states black workersin the fourth quarter of 2012, about two-and-a-half times that of the white unemployment rate of 7.5 percent. The black unemployment rate in Michigan was 4.7 percentage points higher than the national black unemployment rate of 14 percent and ranked highest among the 24 states with large enough black populations to measure unemployment. Michigans white unemployment rate was ninth highest in the nation. This is an alarming trend that highlights the growing inequity in our state, said Michigan League for Public Policy President & CEO Gilda Z. Jacobs. For Michigan to recover from the very long recession weve suffered, we need an economy that works for all. Policymakers must address this tremendous disparity. Black unemployment is concentrated in urban areas with very high unemployment rates and few job opportunities. In such a job environment, Unemployment Insurance from 26 weeks to 20 weeks, causing hardship for many unemployed black workers as they continue to look for work. Until our state recovers, the Michigan Legislature needs to restore the traditional period of unemployment benefits back to 26 weeks, Jacobs said. Another reason for Michigans high black unemployment rate is that in the Detroit area many of the available jobs are in suburbs that are inaccessible by public transportation to Detroit residents. Michigan needs to continue to develop a regional public transportation system in Southeast Michigan that can help connect workers with jobs. The report also finds that Michigans white workers suffered during the recession with nearly three straight years (from the first quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2011) on unemployment at 9 percent or higher. Only Nevada had a longer stretch of white unemployment over 9 percent. The report concludes that Michigans recovery, spurred by the successful bailout of the auto industry, has been impressive, yet one in five black workers remain unemployed. Michigans economy has been down a rough road for everybody, said Doug Hall, the reports coauthor, but what this study shows is that far more black workers have been left on the side of the highway.

it is difficult to find work. In 2012, 46.5% of unemployed black workers were unemployed for more than 26 weeksmuch higher than the share of white unemployed workers (41.6%) who are long-term unemployed. In 2011, the Michigan Legislature cut the weeks of available

Our Time: A Strong America

community and the tremendous impact Latinos will have on the future success of America, said Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, CHCI Chair. The significant professional achievements of our Medallion winners, Salma Hayek Pinault and Dr. Andrade, and especially their passion for giving back to the community, symbolize how far Latinos have come and the positive impact we are having in making America a better place for all of us. CHCIs Medallion of Excellence awards are presented to an individual who conducts himself or herself in an exemplary manner and who serves as a role model and standard-bearer for the Latino community, particularly Latino youth. The individual must have at least a 15-year record of contributions and accomplishments in his/her field with solid leadership and community involvement. The qualifying factors are philanthropic and civic engagement through the initiation or support of programs that benefit the Hispanic community as a whole in the United States. Salma Hayek Pinault is an international
superstar, not only for her Emmy-winning and Oscar nominated talent on and behind the screen, but also for her passion as a philanthropist and community activist. She is highly active in raising awareness about violence against women and discrimination against immigrants, and since the birth of her daughter, she has added campaigns helping children to her list of charity works through the Salma Hayek Foundation. Dr. Juan Andrade, Jr. is co-founder and president of the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI), which engages in nonpartisan civic participation to promote education, research, and leadership development. Originally from Brownwood, Texas, Dr. Andrades strong work ethic and perseverance has taken him from picking cotton and working in meatpacking plants, to receiving the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Bill Clinton, and the National Ohtli Award from the Mexican government.

Central Michigan University Upward Bound Students Give Back To Their Own! The Prom Closet Say Yes To The Dress
Upward Bound Program is a federally funded TRIO program through the U.S. Department of Education and is hosted by Central Michigan University. This college access program serves 62 high school students from Northwestern High School, Detroit Collegiate Prep, Detroit International Academy and Fredrick Douglass Academy for Young Men. As part of President Obamas challenge of service, the CMU Upward Bound Program conducts service learning projects within the same community it was created to support. Upward Bound students created and facilitated their fourth annual F.A.M.E. (Fighting Against Mediocrity N Excellence) project called THE PROM CLOSET, on Saturday, April 20, 2013. This event offered young ladies a chance to select a Prom dress and have an afternoon of pampering finding ones inner and outer beauty. The students attended a workshop focusing on image, Prom safety, and etiquette. The intent of the day was about self-confidence and empowerment! Thirty young ladies from five schools in the Metro Detroit area including; Martin Luther King, Detroit International Academy, Michigan Collegiate, Warren Fitzgerald and Hazel Park attended the event. THE PROM CLOSET 2013 was held at Living Faith Church in Warren, Michigan where many members of the congregation collaborated and volunteered their time to make this event a success. Several student organizations, including Zeta Phi Beta from the CMU Mount Pleasant campus were instrumental in collecting dresses to donate to the event. In addition, Associated Community Services provided a sizeable monetary donation for the fourth year in a row We do more than just a giveaway a free dress. On purpose and with purpose, we let these young ladies know that we care about them and their special day! shared Olivia Dixon, academic advisor for the CMU Upward Bound Program and event coordinator. The students of the CMU Upward Bound Program created, and facilitated the project with the final product being the beautiful smiling faces of their guests! Coming into this service-learning project without resources, these students were able to fundraise, organize, and facilitate the event! In return, the young ladies invited to THE PROM CLOSET left with a gown along with a special gift bag including certificates from Claires. In its fourth year, THE PROM CLOSET continues to be successful; and in the end, these young ladies walked away with more than they imagined!

The Truth Comes Out

and within our own school meetings, to name a few. I was met by surprise each time. And a resounding consensus that students should not be hurt.... and they should be able to stay in school the remainder of the school year. No one in my journey expressed a dissenting voice. Yes, there was outrage (how could this happen?) and a willingness to find out whose fault it is. But for what it is worth, everyone in my travels wanted students in school. As I write to The Michigan Banner, students are set to return to school on May 21st. Thus, the first truth, how quickly does the state government respond to a crisis? My answer is three weeks, if public pressure is involved. Yes, there has been a high level of public pressure, to my surprise and relief. My initial fear was no one was going to give a darn, and it was certainly the pathway being followed until some individuals got involved. Kudos to Dick Syrek, Saginaw Intermediate Schools Superintendent, who with other local superintendents quickly poured over rules and regulations to have a returnto-school plan in motion after just five days. Calling it a skills camp, the plan was made by Syrek and his staff of how to bring students back to school using federal funding. While the skills camp met unfavorable reviews from some, I would submit it was far better than the alternative of keeping kids out of school until the fall, at the earliest. Recognition goes to Congressman Dan Kildee, as well. The outspoken Congressman quickly called out state leaders, declaring among other things, that students have a constitutional right to a free education. Not just a skills camp, but a place we call school. That is where the initial voices were. Others were silent or at best, softened. That is the second truth; state government speaks only when spoken to. The underlying cause and effect of this tragedy is the state treasury. It is now a fact that the reason Buena Vista closed were the payments from the treasury stopped. Many will argue who should have done what, but when the treasury stopped the funds, school doors closed. That is the third truth: Call it the golden rule (he who controls the gold, rules). A lot of voices expressed sorrow and anger. Perhaps two of the best were from quite unique perspectives. Former State Superintendent Tom Watkins offered his take on the overall sad financial picture (see http://domemagazine.com/ tomwatkins/tw051713#, The Canary in the Coal Mine). Read it closely and keep asking yourself the troubling question, who is next to fall? The second perspective came from Mt. Pleasant of all places. See Schools as labs, kids as rats, by Eric Barren, May 18, 2013, mlive. com. It is a compelling piece that identifies the low level of funding flowing from state government to local schools.... you will want to repeat the question posed above, who is next to fall? When all is said and done, the events in May 2013 will forever be etched in my mind. Unfortunately, I learned a lot about who does what, for what reason, when the chips are down. And already, it is not a fond memory.
The recent events in our neighboring school district have revealed new truths about our state government. Perhaps these concepts were out there in theory, but now we can accept them as fact. First, a personal note. I am deeply sorry for the situation in Buena Vista. When I returned to Saginaw County in 1995, Buena Vista was a leader in academic reform. I recall in awe, a visit there in the spring of 1996. We were a part of the Saginaw County Business in Education Partnership back then, and a monthly meeting was held in Buena Vista because of the ground breaking work they were doing in an expanded school year. At the time, their elementary students were meeting over 200 days a school year in an effort to accelerate their instruction in the basics. As I said, I was in awe of their capacity to move in a direction I wanted to go. I was not alone. The decline is well documented. (See THE SAGINAW NEWS, May 17, 2013, How it happened: Buena Vista School District sees decades of decline in enrollment, academics) As the debt piled higher and leaders changed, the depths of the despair were hidden in the humming engine of daily events. In other words, I had no clue the end of the school year was in question. And I was not alone. When the mass layoffs and closing decision were made public on May 1st, it was a topic I raised in places I went. The YMCA, SISD,

Seeing It!
By Desmon R. Daniel, Ph.D Guest Educational Journalist
This article is part two of a series of writings titled Seeing It! The articles will address the challenges of bringing vision into reality.
Sara was the first in her family to graduate from college and credits her first grade teacher for providing her with the vision of one day becoming a successful young business woman. As early as the first grade her teacher realized that she had the capacity for greatness. How is it that anyone can see that far into the future with any degree of accuracy? How is that we can set goals for our lives or assist individuals with bringing into focus their own professional aspirations? According to the American Optometric Association, Hyperopia is a vision condition whereby objects that are some distance away
are clearly seen, whereas those things in our immediate presence are more difficult to focus on. Numerous CEOs and Presidents of fortune 500 companies pride themselves on having Hyperopia and have no difficulty sharing why they view this vision condition as a positive characteristic (at least for those who have been charged with similar responsibilities). Many times the CEO is concerned with the bottom line or the end product and they are less concerned about the trivial and perhaps monotonous activities that comprise the daily efforts of others. In this case the CEO is wise to surround him/herself with individuals with Myopia (nearsightedness); these individuals will focus on the details governing the day to day requirements. By acknowledging their strengths and weaknesses the task at hand is achievable because of their dynamic synergy. This synergy, which is focused on a mutual interest, is less concerned with the weaknesses of the other instead the focus is on personal strength. When we focus on our individual strengths
and surround ourselves with people who can assist us with making our dreams come true, we in turn help them realize their maximum potential. Working together affords us the privilege to work smarter and not harder, everyone is working toward their maximum capacity. No one person can see it all; however when we share what we can see (individually), our collective vision becomes stronger. Perhaps Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best. Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power. When we become united in seeing our family, community and our world as a place to thrive and a place where we can live out our greatest hopes and dreams, then we will truly See It as it was intended.

Forbes whose dedication and commitment to encouraging the pursuit of higher education, coupled with the credit unions philosophy of people helping people, continues to be an integral part of Catholic Federal Credit Union. President/CEO, Alan Watson stated, Thank you to all of the volunteer trustees on the MFSF and to all of the CFCU staff that put in their time. We are all very proud to support our members in need with scholarships. It is yet another perfect example of how we live our service mission to improve the financial wellbeing of our members. Since 1982, the Msgr. Forbes Scholarship Committee has awarded more than $1.3 million dollars and has given out over 2,800 scholarships to students who want to begin or continue their education. Catholic Federal Credit Union is a full service financial institution offering loans, savings accounts and checking accounts. The credit union has locations in Bay City, Essexville, Saginaw and Vassar.

Intersection of Business & Wealth
Preparing a Leader
Be ye ever ready. Author unknown
By David M. Hall, PhD Every business has a desire to stay in business. It is rare, if ever, when you meet a business man or woman who indicates that his/her goal is to go out of business. An essential ingredient to the successful business is a secession plan. This requires every person to insure that there is someone to replace them if they are unavailable to work. The higher the level in the organization the more important it is to have a secession plan. The responsibility for finding a successor rests with the leaders themselves. Leaders need to get to know their people and their talents well enough that they can identify a person or persons who have the talent and desire to replace them. To some leaders this can be threatening. Leaders must get past these threats. Leaders have a responsibility for the smooth operation of the enterprise. No one wishes a leader bad luck, but there is always the possibility that he or she may not be able to work or to perform his/her duties at some point in time. It is always prudent to identify someone and mentor and train them in event of the leaders unavailability. The leader should select a person or persons who have potential and gradually give them more responsibility. Another approach, that works well, is to give the mentees a hypothetical or a real case and ask what action should be taken. This gives them a chance to test their decision-making skills. It also gives you, the leader, the opportunity to discuss their decision and to coach them in the decisionmaking process. When leaders find associates with leadership potential, in addition to mentoring them, they should also be a coach. Coaching takes care of the here and now. Coaching is a tool used to help associates improve in whatever they are doing at the moment. Coaching gets close to telling a person how to do something. It is important, in the process, that all details be given. More important, it is to get the associate over a particular hurdle or to show them a way to improve a process in which they are engaged. Another part of preparing leaders is to keep them well trained. In this age of technological change, we need to keep people abreast of all new tools that can assist them in their work. The idea is to make each person the best that they can be and to continue to assist them in improving whatever he/she is doing. We use the expression continuous improvement often times when discussing the processes on the plant floor. We also need to think in terms of our human capital, in the organization, and insure that there is also continuous improvement. People need to have their skills and knowledge upgraded on a regular basis. In this way they can use their skills to assist the enterprise to become more efficient. It is also the responsibility of the leader to set a great example. People tend to imitate their leaders. This being the case, people need to see great leadership in order to be great leaders. Whatever works for you, as a leader, your associates are apt to try and see if it will work for them. This is one
way in which people grow. This is an important way of preparing potential leaders. Preparing leaders is an awesome responsibility. It is necessary in every enterprise. It is the glue that holds an organization together when a part of the organization is missing for a period of time. It is also the way that people become qualified and eventually reach the next level in the organization. Many leaders fear that if they train people too well, they will leave the enterprise and join a new company. That is certainly a risk. However, the positive side of that action is that you have a person in another company whom you trained, and feels a bit of loyalty to you. You can even team up with that person to exchange ideas and to help you keep abreast of newer technology. When you prepare a person to replace you, you have the potential for greater efficiency in the organization. Efficiency is one of the main duties of the leader.

Wireless Leaders Unite for It Can Wait Campaign to Curb Texting While Driving
AT&Ts It Can Wait campaign to end texting and driving was significantly bolstered recently by the commitment of Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile US, Inc. and more than 200 other organizations to join the movement. Their efforts will support a new national advertising campaign, a nationwide texting-while-driving simulator tour, retail presence in tens of thousands of stores, and outreach to millions of consumers with a special focus throughout the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Dayknown as the 100 Deadliest Days on the roads for teen drivers, according to AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The 2013 campaign drive will culminate on Sept. 19, when efforts turn towards encouraging everyone to get out in their community and advocate involvement on behalf of the movement. Texting while driving is a deadly habit that makes you 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash, said AT&T Chairman & CEO Randall Stephenson. Awareness of the dangers of texting and driving has increased, but people are still doing it. With this expanded effort, we hope to change behavior. Together, we can help save lives. The It Can Wait campaign is a meaningful way for Verizon to continue its work on this important issue, said Verizon Wireless president and chief executive officer Dan Mead. Texting and driving is a serious social challenge and we look forward to partnering with leading organizations and experts around the world to answer it. As a longstanding advocate of keeping wireless consumers focused on driving, Sprint is proud to participate in the It Can Wait campaign, said Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. Sprint will continue to promote education of responsible driving behavior through our sponsorship events, social media channels and thousands of retail stores nationwide. Mobile technology connects us in many cool ways, but adults and teens need to put it on hold while behind the wheel, said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile US, Inc. Knowing the risks is not enough. By simply putting the phone down, thousands of tragedies can be prevented every year. Its time to end texting while driving for good. The campaign kicked off May 20, with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile bringing a multimillion dollar, co-branded advertising campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving, and encouraging everyone to immediately take the pledge against it at www.itcanwait.com. The campaign will focus on the stories of people who are living with the consequences of texting while driving. Their stories will be told through various media including TV, radio, digital and social. The first story in the campaign will be of Xzavier Davis-Bilbo, who in 2010 at five-yearsold, was struck while crossing the street by a young woman texting while drivingleaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Texting while driving is an epidemic, and its not isolated to teen drivers. It affects adults as well. A recent AT&T survey shows business commuters know texting while driving is unsafe, but they still engage in these behaviors.

Tips for Banking Online

Security: If you choose an online bank backed by the FDIC, youll be covered for losses up to $250,000 just like any other bank customer (use the FDICs Bank Find tool to be sure). And, of course, remember to avoid doing any online banking on a public or shared WiFi connection, since thats when your information can be most easily intercepted. Interest rates: Online banks typically have better interest rates than traditional banks because they dont need to take any funds to operate brick-and-mortar buildings. In a recent MoneyRates.com study, online banks were found to have about six times higher interest rates than the nationwide average. Some of the best were found at Ally Bank, American Express Bank and Sallie Mae Bank. Customer service: If you like to deal with the people managing your money via email or over the phone, go digital. If youd rather have someone to talk things through with face-to-face, stick with a regular bank. Nearly all banks also have call centers and online message centers as well. Online banks are rarely, if ever, closed. But if youd rather use a traditional bank to complete your transactions or get questions answered in person, youll need to visit your bank during normal business hours and make sure its not a bank holiday. Richard Barrington, CFA, is the primary spokesperson and personal finance expert for MoneyRates. He is a 20-year veteran of the financial industry, including having served for over a dozen years as a member of the Executive Committee of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. Source: MoneyRates. Com

Better Choices, Better Medicine, Better Healing

June is Mens Health Awareness Month
June is a month also designated to raise Mens Cancer Awareness and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. The cancers that are most frequently affect men are prostate, colon, lung, and skin cancers. Knowing about these cancers and how they can be prevented or found early can save your life. The chance of getting prostate cancer goes up as a man gets older. Most prostate cancers are found in men over the age of 65. For reasons that are still unknown, African American men are more likely than white men to develop prostate cancer. Having one or more close relatives with prostate cancer also increases a mans risk of having prostate cancer. What you can do The American Cancer Society recommends that men make an informed decision with their doctor about whether to be tested for prostate cancer. Starting at age 50 talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of testing so you can decide if getting tested is the right choice for you. If you are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, you should have this talk with your doctor starting at age 45. If you decide to be tested, you should have the PSA blood test with or without a digital exam. How often you are tested will depend on your PSA level. RISK FACTORS A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors. For example, exposing skin to strong sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer. Smoking is a risk factor for cancers of the lungs, larynx (voice box), mouth, throat, esophagus, kidneys, bladder, colon, and several other organs. But risk factors dont tell us everything. Having a risk factor, or even several risk factors, does not mean that you will get the disease. And some people who get the disease may not have any known risk factors. The following are the risk factors for prostate cancer: Age Age is the strongest risk factor for prostate cancer. Race/Ethnicity - Prostate cancer occurs more often in African-American men than in men of other races. Nationality Prostate cancer is most common in North America, northwestern Europe, Australia, and on Caribbean islands. It is less common in Asia, Africa, Central America, and South America. The reasons for this are not clear. Family History Prostate cancer seems to run in some families, which suggests that in some cases there may be an inherited or genetic factor. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a mans risk of developing this disease. Genes Scientists have found several inherited genes that seem to raise prostate cancer risk, but they probably account for only a small number of cases overall. Genetic testing for most of these genes is not yet available. Diet The exact role of diet in prostate cancer is not clear, but several different factors have been studied. Men who eat a lot of red meat or high-fat dairy products appear to have a slightly higher chance of getting prostate cancer. These men also tend to eat fewer fruits and vegetables. Doctors are not sure which of these factors is responsible for raising the risk. Obesity Most studies have not found that being obese (having a high amount of extra body fat) is linked with a higher risk of getting prostate cancer. Exercise Exercise has not been shown to reduce prostate cancer risk in most studies. But some studies have found that high levels of physical activity, particularly in older men, may lower the risk of advanced prostate cancer. More research in this area is needed. Smoking A recent study linked smoking to a small increase in the risk of death from prostate cancer. This is a new finding, and will need to be confirmed by other studies. Inflammation of the prostate Some studies have suggested that prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) may be linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer, but other studies have not found such a link. Inflammation is often seen in samples of prostate tissue that also contain cancer. The link between the two is not yet clear, but this is an active area of research. Infection Researchers have also looked to see if sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhea or chlamydia) might increase the risk of prostate cancer, possibly by leading to inflammation of the prostate. So far, studies have not agreed, and no firm conclusions have been reached. Some earlier studies had suggested that men who had a vasectomy (minor surgery to make men infertile) -- especially those younger than 35 at the time of the procedure -may have a slightly increased risk for prostate cancer. But most recent studies have not found any increased risk among men who have had this operation. Fear of an increased risk of prostate cancer should not be a reason to avoid a vasectomy.

On the first day of classes we do We believe this paperwork and story shows just introductions. how vital the During the first Incredible Years class, my co-group leader and Project and I began Launch are to introductions by our community. saying what our jobs are and what our background is. Then it was the parents turns to share. This group went way above and beyond the typical name and brief background (number of children, gender and ages) that most parents give when they first meet each other. These parents voluntarily opened up and shared difficulties they were having with each child including the troubles and barriers their families were facing. Several of the parents cried when they shared. Each parent spent a good ten minutes or more telling their story and what had led them to be in the class. They chose not to hold back! We believe this story shows just how vital the Project Launch-funded Incredible Years is to the community. The parents in our current session had these feelings and concerns bottled up just waiting for someone to listen to them. Just waiting for someone who had support to offer them. When adults who have never met are willing to open up to strengthen their families, you know the services being provided are exactly what they were hoping for! ~ Danelle Elliott Incredible Years Group Leader CAN Council Great Lakes Bay

A child with Severe Emotional Disturbance gets support from many places. But that support only helps that child if each provider works as part of a well coordinated team. We maximize teamwork by making sure every step the team takes is focused on the betterment of that child.

Praise Connections and Life

A Concrete Representation of the Unconditional Love of God
By Sandra S. Haughton, Leader Prayer Shawl Ministry Many years ago, I learned to knit as a pleasant pastime while caring for my two very young children at home most days. Knitting became such a satisfying experience that I learned how to make not only sweaters and Afghans, but also dresses, skirts, and suits. When the children became older and we were all spending more time outside of our home, the knitting needles were put on the shelf where they stayed for over thirty years. In the past two years I started knitting again, and in one of the fabric and yarn stores, I came across literature about Prayer Shawl Ministry. Approximately, one year ago Pastor Rodrick A. Smith conducted a series of lessons in bible study on Gods Vision for his Church: Commitment to one another. I learned that our mission toward each other is to love one another as Christ loves us. The lesson was further clarified by Pastor Smith using the biblical references, 1 Peter: 3:8, that speaks of our charge to have compassion for one another, 1 Thessalonians 4:18, to encourage and comfort one another, and 1 Peter 4:10, that reminds us that of the many gifts we have been blessed with, we are to use in the service of others. This series of bible study lessons and my renewed interest in knitting became an inspiration for the beginning of the Zion Missionary Baptist Church Prayer Shawl Ministry that combines the love of knitting with the effort to reach out to individuals in need of comfort .With five ladies from Zion Baptist Church, J. J. Atkins, Lee Nickerson, Reavie Wicks, Elizabeth Baker, and Annette Young, we worked over the next year and produced 12 shawls. The knitter begins each shawl with a prayer for the recipient with prayerful intentions continuously throughout the creation of the shawl. When the shawl is completed, it receives a final blessing from the Pastor, and a congregational dedication during a Sunday morning service before it is given away. It was the decision of the group that the first recipients of the shawls would be some of the sick and shut-in members of Zion. The shawls were then delivered to the members at their homes, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. As a tangible and long lasting gift, the shawl reminds the recipient that he/she is loved, is not forgotten, and continues to be an important part of the church family.

Twenty-Three Practical Things You Can Do to Make Your Life More Fulfilling
By Andrae Sweeney How can we live a more fulfilling life? While there are things we can do which are more long-term in nature, here Id like to focus on practical things which we can do today. Human needs can be classified into eight levels in the Maslow hierarchy. The eight levels from the lowest to the highest are physical, security, belonging, esteem, learning, aesthetic, self-actualization, and transcendence. The lower levels comprise of basic needs which are essential to live. But to live a fulfilling life, I believe that the key is on the higher levels. The more your needs at the higher levels are met, the more fulfilling your life will be. Money for example, mainly meets your need at the physical or at most esteem level. No wonder money alone can never give you a fulfilling life. There are many people who do not have a lot of money but whose life is more fulfilling than those who have. As you can see, the two highest levels are self-actualization (realizing our own potential, self-fulfillment, peak experiences) and transcendence (helping others realize their potential). By doing things that meet your needs at these two levels, you will have a more fulfilling life. Lets begin with the 23 practical things for a more fulfilling life listed below: 1. Think about this question: If you have only six months left to live, what would you do not to regret your life? The answer to this question reveals your deepest value and priorities. 2. From your answer in question 1, think of a personal statement for your life purpose. Though you wont be able to make a final statement in just one day, at least you can develop a draft. 3. Write some specific goals of what you want to achieve regarding your personal statement in question 2. 4. Take the first step to act upon your goals in question 3. Even a simple thing will do. As the saying says, The journey of one thousand miles begins with the first step. 5. Browse the web or ask your friends to find a charity in a cause you care about. 6. Donate to the charity. 7. When you meet your spouse, family, or friends, praise them. 8. Stop thinking too much about how to have more money. 9. Start seeing yourself as a giver rather than receiver. 10. Listen emphatically to someone. 11. Smile to others. 12. Stop yourself whenever you are about to complain. 13. Give words of comfort to a friend who needs them. 14. Send a happy birthday message to someone. 15. Give a special thank you to someone who really matters to you. 16. Be punctual. 17. Create a simple life map to see how far youve walked in life. 18. Call or even better visit an old friend. 19. Share your experiences in your job to someone who needs it. 20. List your passions and think of ways to nurture them. 21. Prepare a gift for someone. 22. Take a personality test to know more about yourself. 23. Keep your promises. Andrae is a Motivational Speaker, Life Coach, Youth Pastor, and Author.

a role model
Tackling life is a matter of problem solving thats Terrance Moores way of thinking. And what better way to improve the world than to help others as they leap lifes hurdles? The junior criminal justice major likes to be there when someone can use a helping hand: Terrance serves as a resident assistant, helping his students overcome the roadblocks of college life, and as vice president of the Cardinal Military Association, supporting veterans through any difficulties they might face. A firm believer in support systems, Terrence is also a member of the National Leadership and Success Society, an organization that unites students who want to set and achieve goals. And as part of the Greek fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon, the Criminal Justice Society, and the co-ed service fraternity Alpha Sigma Pi, hes learned that the best way to lead is by example. If I dont help, he said, who will?
