Whohsntreeivedbiloutthesedys?By Hansen Clarke
As the big banks,
the multinational
corporations and the
wealthiest Americans
all reap the rewards ofmassive government
rescue funding and
tremendous tax
giveaways, it seems
that only one group in the country has been
left out in the cold: everyday people in
communities.
Where is the rescue for the American
autoworker whose job was shipped overseas?
Where is the bailout for the owner of the
corner store struggling with less and less
business? Where is the assistance for the
family struggling to keep their home amidst
the highest levels of unemployment in recent
memory?
Something has got to give.
I believe that the best way to revive our
economy is to assist hardworking people in
communities. Right now, we can do that bycutting personal debt and stopping the terrible
spread of foreclosures.
My plan is simple: Give struggling
homeowners the right to delay foreclosure for
up to two years so they can have time to work
out better arrangements with their mortgage
lenders. During this time, homeowners would
have to pay a fair market rent, which would
take into consideration factors including the
balance remaining on the mortgage and localhousing market conditions. In most cases, this
rent payment would be considerably lower than
payments set a few years ago in the heyday of
high home prices.
The proposal is not a free pass for folks who
behaved irresponsibly, taking out mortgages for
vacation homes or seeking to avoid payment
altogether. It requires that homeowners
eventually pay the amount owed under the
original mortgage terms if no alternative
agreement is reached. Yet I believe the
proposal provides our communitys struggling
homeowners exactly what they need: additional
time. This is our most powerful tool for
stopping evictions. Its likewise a powerful tool
in the fight against neighborhood blight. Banks
kicking people out of their homes has awful
consequences not only for families but also for
their neighbors, our schools and our regionseconomy. This is why Ive been fighting for
homeowners since my time in the Michigan
Legislature.
Now, I know that mortgages are not the only
form of debt thats crushing our communities.
And I understand that much of this debt
results from job losses and an economic
downturn that was beyond our communitys
control, and that is why Im working hard to
make sure that Congress takes further actionto help reduce several kinds of personal debt.
Im demanding that politicians in Washington
take some steps as quickly as possible, such
as:
Cutasmanyfederalstudentloansas
possible and cap interest rates and eliminate
penalties and fees on additional government-
issued student loans.
Makeprivatestudentloans-especially
those written under unfair terms-eligible to bedropped in bankruptcy court.
Empowerthenewconsumerwatchdog
group in Washington (known as the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau) to get to work
restricting bans from using unfair practices to
take advantage of low-income borrowers.
Congress has sold the farm to pay for
endless wars, tax giveaways for the super
wealthy and bailouts for the banks. But, incontrast, we can take these steps to reduce
consumer debt at very little cost. Its time to
take a stand for people struggling to make it
in America.

O-Ed:anOenLetter-NopleforFerlpigsinMihign
Dear Fellow Legislators,Pushing for feral swine legislation is like watching sausage being made - possibly with Pseudorabies.
In Michigan, there are wild game ranches that allow the hunting of feral swine for sport. The DNR intended to
prohibit the importing, owning and breeding of such pigs. In March of 2011, legislation was introduced to regulate
as opposed to prohibit these Eurasian boars, sporting pigs, feral pigs, etc,. These animals are dangerous, destructive,
disease-ridden and highly fertile. They are a menace to property and person alike - they are known to destroy crops and
to attack people.
As a member of the Agriculture Committee, I know why the issues surrounding the recent feral swine legislation are
very important, specifically to the agricultural community. Michigan agriculture contributes approximately $72 billion
annually to Michigans economy, making it our second largest industry after manufacturing. Michigan exports about
one-third of its agricultural commodities each year and ranks 5th and 8th respectively for national exports of fruits and vegetables. Now, thatis a Pure Michigan that everyone can taste and benefit from.
For three months I listened to testimony from farmers, leaders, and experts in the industry including but not limited to: Greenstone Farm
Credit Services, Michigan Agri-Business Association, Michigan Allied Poultry Industries, Michigan Audubon, Michigan Corn Growers
Association, Michigan Milk Producers, Michigan Nature Association, Michigan Pork Producers, Michigan Soybean Association, Michigan
United Conservation Club, Michigan Wildlife Conservancy , Michigan Trout Unlimited, Potato Growers of Michigan, Michigan Forest
Association, and Saginaw Valley Field & Stream. All of these respected organizations vehemently opposed the proposed regulations and
sought to keep the DNR ban in place and proceed with eradication methods
On at least one occasion, a feral swine rancher offered testimony in support of regulation and advocated the removal of the ban so he
could continue having his sporting swine ranch. The rancher and the majority Republican committee could not get enough support to vote
the bills out of committee, so imagine my disbelief when the bills were discharged out of committee without regard for public safety or the
opposition or the agriculture community.
It truly was like watching sausage being made as Democratic members were sought out to support the bills so that Republicans in farm
communities could be left to oppose the bills. I explained that contrary to popular opinion the district I represent consists of more than just the
City of Saginaw. It also includes several rural, agricultural communities but even if the 95th district were wholly urban, I could not support
these bills. Adding insult to injury, the bills were discharged and voted out of the House chamber within days of a Saginaw County Sherriff
Deputy having to put two shot gun blast in a 300 pound feral pig. This was in a residential community and the pig was believed to have
escaped from a sporting ranch. In addition, the recent discovery of a feral pig infected with Pseudorabies in Midland County could prove
disastrous for hog farmers in the state.
I have been warned that my decision to confront this issue publically may affect me adversely politically. However, silence is not anoption and I would rather speak out than have any portion of the 95th District lose faith in their representation in Lansing. Therefore, I will
continue to ensure that I fulfill my obligations to the constituents by engaging them and making them aware of the hogwash legislation being
pursued in the interest of a tiny industry at the peril of an established, vibrant one.
The overwhelming majority of the agriculture community opposes the regulation of feral/sporting swine and would instead favor ridding
the State of Michigan of them through eradication. Feral swine need to be eliminated from our state and as the posters from the DNR indicate
they are Wanted Dead. The hunting of these animals should NOT be viewed as a harmless recreational sport when they put at risk a thriving
$72 billion dollar industry.
Respectfully Submitted,

Rebuilding The CommunityCommunity Rebuilders recently held an
Empowerment Conference, on August
18 through August 20, featuring threeformer Saginaw residents who shared their
success stories and instruction on how to
make Saginaw a better place. Rebuilding
the community is a feat Saginaw natives
continue to ponder, and this is especially true
for the upcoming organization, Community
Rebuilders, who hope to mobilize African-
American men to take control of their
destiny, as stated in their motto. This is quite
a task theyre taking on, said Vivian Scott,
wife of board member Pastor William Scott.They have to get other people to catch the
vision, she said. Were going to write a plan,
then give the community a chance to hold us
accountable for that plan, said Board member
Charles H. Coleman Sr., Pastor of New Faith
Temple who also suggested that a lack of
stepping up and problem projection contribute
to Saginaws current state.
Keynote speakers were: Dr. Lawrence
Crawford (Chief Executive Office DBM
Technologies), Michael A. Finney (Presidentand CEO Michigan Economic Development
Corporation, and Tobin J. Williams (Director-
Organizational Capability at General
Motors). The board of directors include:
Pastor Eddie Benson, Pastor William L.
Brown, Jerome Buckley, Pastor Charles

The dedication of the Martin Luther
King Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C. was
scheduled for Aug. 28 to mark the 48th
anniversary of what is known as his I have
a dream speech. Sometimes I wish this
instead would be called his promissorynote speech.
Please dont get me wrong. No person
with any conscience or heart could deny the
power of the dream, in which people of all
skin colors learn to get along and in which
white society finally puts a halt to oppressive
actions.
My preference for promissory note is
because political and social conservatives,
some speaking with heartfelt (if misguided)feelings but others cynical and selfish, have
wrongly seized upon elements of the dream
speech to justify their views. Their favorite
King quote is, I have a dream that my four
children will one day live in a nation where
they will not be judged by the color of their
skin, but by the content of their character.
This is their way to falsely argue that Dr.
King would have opposed affirmative action
and other modern-day social justice efforts
that started after he was slain.
Right-wingers conveniently overlook
the promissory note section of the same
famous speech, to whit: America has
defaulted on this promissory note (and) has
given the Negro people a bad check. They
whine to pollsters that nowadays reverse
ToTrulyHonorKingsDrem,alsoRememberthepromissoryNote By Mike Thompson
For The Michigan Banner
racism against whites is more prevalent than
bias against blacks. (Apparently they have not
checked the imbalance of prison sentences, or
various economic and employment statistics.)
They are the same people who call President
Obama a Communist, and worse, just as theirpredecessors labeled King as a Commie. Their
dream is to oust Obama from office next
year in favor of some biased wingnut like Rick
Perry or Michele Bachmann.
Those who claim that Kings dream
speech indicates he would have opposed
affirmative action (which calls for expanding
the hiring pool, not for hiring unqualified
people of color) should consider his words
from Where Do We Go From Here?, one ofhis books: A society that has done something
special against the Negro for hundreds of
years must now do something special for him,
to equip him to compete on a just and equal
basis.
In other words, its not enough for the white
majority to say, in so many words, I didnt
own slaves or lynch anybody or enforce a poll
tax. That was in the past, and so I had nothing
to do with it, and besides, today is a different
time. Consider that the late Bernice Barlow,
who was Saginaws NAACP branch president,
used to ask, How can you break my legs, then
say you are sorry, and then start the race and
say that everything is equal?
Furthermore, King spoke in favor of
reparations. He wrote: No amount of gold
could provide an adequate compensation for
the exploitation and humiliation of the Negro
in America down through the centuries. Yet
a price can be placed on unpaid wages. The
ancient common law has always provided a
remedy for the appropriation of the labor ofone human being by another. This law should
be made to apply for American Negroes.
A typical modern-day common law tort
case, combining unpaid slave labor with pain
and suffering, adjusted through the years for
inflation, would make the massive national
budget debt of $13 trillion pale in comparison.
However, King offered to give the nation a
financial break with a far less costly claim.
With remarkable diplomacy, he concluded:The payment should be in the form of a
massive program by the government of
special, compensatory measures which could
be regarded as a settlement in accordance
with the accepted practice of common law.
Well, President Johnson tried to start the
program during the 1960s, but it has hardly
been massive. Community action agencies
such as our CAC, along with other funding
sources, remain the first to be cut. Those
who profess to embrace Martin Luther
Kings dream speech should also keep
the promissory note in mind before they
continue to rail against funding for education,
jobs programs and other anti-poverty efforts.
Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum
major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I wont have any money to leave behind. I wont have the fine and
luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. (Amen) And thats all I want to say.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

StrttheShoolYerOffWithSmileEvery child wants
to look their best as
they head back to
school this fall. Parents
help by scheduling
haircuts and buying
new outfits, but most
overlook the simple
steps to helping their
child maintain one of
their most visible features their smile.
Studies show that one of the first thingspeople notice about someone is their smile
and that a good smile creates a positive self-
imagesomething all parents wish for their
children. Back-to-school time is the perfect
time to incorporate good oral health habits
into a childs daily routine. The sooner you
make them a priority, the sooner your child
will benefit.
Shedulebk-to-shooldentlvisit
Seeing a dentist twice a year during theschool-age years is vital because this is a
time of great change in the mouth, with
kids losing baby teeth and getting in their
permanent teeth. Tooth decay is still the most
common chronic childhood disease and, left
untreated, it can impair a childs ability to
eat, speak, sleep and learn. However, studies
show more than 60 percent of school-
age children do not see a dentist annually.
Simple preventive checkups twice a year can
head off childhood decay and help you and
your child learn how to protect their teeth
throughout the year.
Estblish dily brushing hbits with
your children
Children should brush at least twice
a day. To encourage children to brush after
every meal, let them pick out their own travel
toothbrush and toothpaste to take to school.
There are many child-friendly products that
help encourage younger children to brush.
Make sure your childs toothpaste contains
fluoride and the toothbrush is soft-bristled.
Make good nutrition a top priority
National studies
show that only one
in five school-age
children eat therecommended five
daily servings of
fruits and vegetables
greatly increasing
their risk of cavities.
In addition, only one
in five children meet
even the minimum
standards for calcium
consumption. Takecharge of your childs
health this school year
by packing healthy
lunches.
Remember after
school snacks can
help a child or cause
bad nutritional
choices. Many school
children go straight
to sporting practices
after school and turn
to sugary foods and
drinks from a vending
machine when they
dont have any other
option, which are disastrous to childrens
oral health. Bite-sized carrots, fruits, nuts
and bottled water are much better after-school snack options and give children the
fuel they need to excel in physical activity.
The sport drinks marketed for more energy
is filled with sugars so please read the labels.
Remember an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.
Whether you are starting up a new business or
expanding an established business in the City
of Saginaw, youre starting something good.
Services. Jobs. Goods. Knowledge. Expertise.These are the fundamentals that built Saginaw
long ago and they are the principals that will
move us forward toward a bright future.

When you turn
on your television do
you usually end up
changing the channel
because you hear only
negative things about
the government andeconomy? Well, that is
how most people today feel, but for me one
of the most disrespectful things I hear on a
daily basis is how people speak concerning
President Obama.
When you hear people in the government
or in the news talk about President Obama,
are you hearing President Obama or just
Obama? This is how people in and outside
government are continuously not includingthe title of President, and are referring to
him as just another person in the street. As
you think of the other Presidents, such as,
President Bush and President Clinton, I
dont recall people calling them by their first
name, or not including the title of president
as they do President Obama. I wonder why?
Could it be because of his skin tone or culture
that people do not give him the respect that
he rightly deserves.
In recent cases some people in the
government have completely been disrespectful
when referring to him as tar baby. In a
Denver radio interview Rep. Lamborn said
even if some people say, well the Republicans
should have done this or they should have donethat, they will hold the president responsible,
Now I dont want to even have to be associated
with him. Its like touching a tar baby and you
get, you get it, you know you are stuck and
you are part of the problem now and you cant
get away. The tar baby comment is very
troublesome as it is also a racist word that
is used to talk about African Americans by
comparing the color of their skin to tar.
Now, even if we understood Rep. Lambornto mean he didnt want to be associated with
the president if he put America in a troubled
situation, and not an intended insult, he should
have chosen a different terminology. However,
I believe that he used those words in particular
to insult President Obama and this time the
media cannot be blamed for blowing a comment
out of proportion. This type of comment
further proves if we continue to accept people
calling our President just Obama instead of
President Obama, he will not receive the
respect that he should be given and he will
be further disrespected. I know some of you
are thinking why does it matter if we call him
Obama or President Obama? Well, if you are
not calling someone by their proper title, or
name, you are changing their identity.
As a child I was taught that it is
disrespectful to call someone out of their
name, or not properly calling someone
by their rightful title. For example, to not
call President Obama by his rightful title
is the same as a child calling their mother
by her first name, or a student calling their
teacher by their first name. This is thought
as disrespectful behavior because a title is asign of respect.
I am not trying to promote the President
or trying to influence people to like him, but
we should still give him the respect for an
office he worked so hard to achieve. After
all, isnt respect what adults are saying my
generation is lacking?

Social Security
Public Affairs SpecialistWhen you go on
a road trip, you need
to follow the signs

can be very much

Countless consumers nationwide
are victimized each year by misleading
advertisers who use Social Security
or Medicare to entice the public
to use their services. In many cases,
these companies offer Social Security
services for a fee, even though the sameservices are available directly from
Social Security, free of charge. These
services include:
u pd ating a S oc ia l S ec urity c ard to
show a brides married name;
replacingaSocialSecuritycard;and
gettingaSocialSecuritynumberfor
a child.
These for-profit businesses may
cleverly design their websites, so when people use Internet search engines, their
advertisement pops up. They may even
make their advertisement look similar
to the real Social Security website. And
some of these sites, at first glance, appear
to be affiliated with Social Security. But
upon closer examination, these are for-
profit companies charging individuals for
a service that is provided free by Social
Security.For instance, a quick Google search

on replacing a Social Security card
brings up paid advertisements for
websites that charge a fee just to get an
applicatio n for a new card. That service
is absolutely free from Social Security.
The law that deals specifically
with misleading Social Security and
Medicare advertising prohibits people
or non-government organizations,like for-profit businesses, from using
words or emblems that mislead others.
Their advertising cannot lead people
to believe that they represent or are
somehow affiliated with or endorsed
or approved by Social Security or the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (Medicare). But that doesnt
stop advertisers from trying.

StteBrOfMihignawrdsJudgeThomsonand
prof.NukollschmionOfJustieawrd
All the fellows are getting in troublethats how its always been. When the odds
are all against you, how can you win?
These lyrics from Lou Rawls 1960s hit
song Dead End Street continue to summarize
the plight of African American men. There
has never been a good time to be a black man
in America. However, the transition from
boyhood to manhood has never been more
dangerous than it is today. The statistics are
frightening. The odds that a black man willgo to prison at some point in his life are 1 in
3. Since 1985, Michigans prison population
has almost tripled. Over 50 percent of
Michigans prison population is black,
although African Americans only comprised
14.2 percent of its total population. Since
1980 black men in Michigan have been
going to prison at 13 times the rate they have
been going to college. As a result, Michigan
has more black men in prison than college.
It is more realistic for a male African
American child growing up in Michigan to
look forward to going to prison than going
to college.
Shortly after he became a judge in 1997,
the Hon. M.T. Thompson, Jr. set out to turn
these statistics around. He and his daughter,
Prof. Monica R. Nuckolls, Thomas M. Cooley
Law School, developed a drug education andcrime prevention program called Making
Choices And Facing Consequences.
In 2008 Judge Thompson and Prof.
Nuckolls organized a program called The
Boyz-2-Men Manhood Training Program.
It was designed to provide African American
boys with character training, role models
and positive influences. It involved over
100 young men between the ages of 8-to-18
years old. The program used two books they
wrote entitled Making Choices And Facing
Consequences: Gangs, Bullies & Violent
Crimes, and Making Choices And Facing
Consequences: Drugs And Alcohol as its
curriculum. The program was a complete
success.
In 2010, they organized another community
based mentoring program called Project Future.
The womens component was called How To
Be A Lady and the mens component was
called the Boyz-2-Men Manhood Training
Program. With the help of almost 100 adult
volunteers, they conducted a series of Saturday
morning training sessions with over 200 young
adults
Prior to conducting Saginaws Project
Future, Judge Thompson invited Delta Collegeto conduct pre-program and post-program
surveys to measure the effectiveness of the
program and the curriculum. The group of
college professors led by Dr. Mark N. Mitchell
concluded that the program significantly
reduced the likelihood of young adults
participating in gang related activities, bullying
and violent crimes.
During September through November,2010, they conducted a second Project Future
in Pontiac. This time they invited Oakland
University to conduct surveys of the program
participants to determine if the program
works. The Oakland University team led
by Dr. Julia Smith concluded that those
individuals who participated in the program
were less likely to engage in gang related
activities, bullying or violent crime. They
were also less likely to drink or take illegaldrugs. The significance of the Delta College
and Oakland University studies cannot be
over emphasized. Judge Thompson and Prof.
Nuckolls have developed a drug education
and crime prevention tool that works.
The efforts of Judge Thompson and Prof.
Nuckolls have created quite a stir in the legal
and educational community. On September
14, 2010 the State Bar Of Michigan will
be awarding its prestigious Champion of
Justice Award to Judge Thompson and Prof.
Nuckolls. The award is given to lawyers and
judges who have achieved an extraordinary
professional accomplishment that benefits
the nation, the state or the local community
in which they live.
When asked if they were planning a
Project Future for this school year, Prof.
Nuckolls responded that they would like tocontinue their efforts, but they do not currently
have the necessary resources. They are also
finalizing plans for a student weekly reader
called Who Can Stop The Bullying? The
Michigan Banner would like to congratulate
Judge Thompson and Prof. Nuckolls for their
outstanding accomplishments.

DisbilityNetworkMid-MihignaddsToNursingFility
Transition StaffMIDLAND Sheila Gittings and
Brooke Pauwels have joined the staff of
the Disability Network of Mid-Michigans
Nursing Facility Transition (NFT) program.
The goal of the NFT program is to
provide an opportunity for an individual
to consider community-based living as
a viable alternative to nursing facility
residency, said Sara Grivetti, Executive
Director of the Disability Network of Mid-
Michigan. Sheila Gittings and Brooke
Pauwels dedication to, and passion for, the
independent living philosophy will prove an
invaluable asset to the program and to our
consumers.
Gittings originally worked in the medical
field before becoming involved with
Disability Network in 2006. At that time,
she worked in the Information and Referral
and Peer Support programs. A certifiedemployment specialist, Gittings later taught
pre-employment skills to adults seeking to
return to the work force, as part of Disability
Networks READY program. Gittings brings
an extensive and varied background to her
new role in the NFT program. Sheila enjoys
spending time amongst her roses and other
perennial flowers, along with her husband,
Dan and her three Labrador retrievers.
Pauwels has recently received her
Bachelors of Social Work from Saginaw
Valley State University. Pauwels completed aninternship with Bay Countys Department of
Human Services as an Adult Protective Service
worker. She has a varied employmentbackground, ranging from working in a toy
store to opening a family daycare. Brooke
enjoys camping, gardening, fishing and
spending time with her children.
The NFT program provides an array
of services to those seeking a better, more
independent, and quality of life. The benefits
to the consumer of transitioning out of a
nursing facility are many, but can be as
simple as being able to cook for ones self
or simply having a place to call home.
Transitioning out of a nursing facility also
benefits Michigan as taxpayers save an
average of $14,869 per person receiving
NFT services.
For more information on the NFT
program, contact Disability Network of
Mid-Michigan at 1-800-782-4160 or at
www.dnmm.org.

and counseling on marriage and family matters
and was an accomplished and witty speaker.
She developed a spiritually-based program to
enhance marriages called Praying and Playingfor Keeps. Her sense of humor was unique, her
loyalty to God and family was profound, and
her gifts and talents were used righteously to
Gods glory.
She leaves to celebrate her life her devoted
husband of 44 years Pastor Dempsey Allen.
Two daughters: Pari and children; Caleb,Angel and Destiny Allen and Lily (Lorenzo)
