Over 2000 people attended2010 Juneteenth Celebration

Faces of a Racine Community Celebration

Darnasia Mayes, 11, (left photo) says her favorite activity was petting the animalsat the Juneteenth annual family day event. The elementary school student, who wantsto be a veterinarian when she grows up, spends most of her time feeding the goats,chickens, and Llamas.

During the opening ceremony, Racine's 3rd District Alderman Michael Shields saidJuneteenth is more than just fun and games. “Learn where you came from. Learn allthat has happened to get you where you are today."

The whole event drew over 2,000 people, which was held on the grounds of theJohn Bryant Community Center, 601 21st St.

The annual Juneteenth celebration marks the signing of the EmancipationProclamation by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 and the freeing of the last slavesin Texas.

Alderman Eric Marcus said, "This day is a day about freedom. City Hall is aboutyou, so be there. Make a difference."

With near perfect weather, Curtis Crump set up at the southeastern corner of thegrounds to show young people how to fly model helicopters. This has been an ongo-ing interest since he was 14-years-old, but was unable to afford the hobby until threeyears ago.

Crump, 40, said that his interest peaked while living in the suburbs of Chicago andwhile walking through the park, he would see older men flying their planes and wasfascinated. He thought it would be cool to have a helicopter. “Years ago, only theelite and rich could afford the hobby, but now they have brought them down to anaffordable price,” he explained.

Honored by Allstate for 10 years in business

Helen Sarein added to the fun at Juneteenth by selling inflatables for children. Shehas run a successful business for 19 years and has enjoyed bringing joy to the heartsof kids. Sarein got the idea for the business from people she saw selling them inChicago years ago where she resided. Her business began 1989 when she came toRacine.Sarein shared that the friendliness and kindness of the people is what draws her toJuneteenth every year. There is an atmosphere of unity as everyone gathers. In addi-tion, she feels Juneteenth is a good idea because the black community is able to learnmore of their history and meet new people. Sarein has been with the Juneteenth celebration since it’s inception. She admits thereis much planning that goes into ordering and preparing for the festival. She featuresthe inflatables from the most current movies and shows that kids like and are familiarwith such as Spongebob and Strawberry Shortcake.

The starry eyed crowd made up of a large number of African Americans showed visi-ble excitement as they held their cameras high and gave celebrity like cheers. Speaking directly to people in Racine he said, “I know that towns like Racine are stillhurting from this recession. This city has the second-highest unemployment rate inthe state, and I can only imagine how much pain that’s caused and how many liveshave been upended. And you got, as I said, a dynamic young mayor who’s thinkingday in, day out, about how to put people back to work, and the city has been cooper-ating with the state and federal programs to figure out how we can start incubating abunch of growth here, but it’s still tough.” He added,”Today, it’s growing again. Today, we’ve added private sector jobs for fivemonths in a row. So the economy is headed in the right direction. But for a lot ofAmericans -- for Racine and a lot of other communities -- it’s not heading there fastenough. Not if you’re out of work. Not if you can’t pay the mortgage. Not if youcan’t take care of your family. And the truth is, from the day we walked into theWhite House, we knew that the crisis we faced was so severe that it was going to takemonths, and maybe even years, to fully heal, to dig ourselves out of one of the worstrecessions in our history.”

Times have certainly changed from mygrandmother’s generation. She lived inthe south where people did not lock theirdoors at night, they opened their homes to

strangers for ameal, stoppedto help travel-ers strandedon the high-way, and peo-ple caredabout theirneighbors. Inthis day andage, it can behard to findcompassion-ate and caringindividuals,but DeborahMcLemorefits the bill.

McLemore is the coordinator for theKenosha/Racine Lead-Free Communities

Partnership which is to protect childrenunder the age of 6 from led poising, wholive in pre-1978 housing units. The focusis on low-income families in targetedneighborhoods. This position has openeddoors for her to raise families’ awarenessto different levels. She is able to educatethem on life skills and providing a betterenvironment for their children. Part ofthis instruction includes helping familiesidentify the sources of led poising whichprimarily comes from lead paint foundaround windowsills. Paint can chip,flake, and peel and infect the areas wherechildren play. McLemore states that thisinformation is particularly important foryoung black mothers who many timesreside in older buildings because of finan-cial hardship. She teaches them about theeffects of lead poising which includelearning problems, behavior problems,and brain damage. If this condition is sus-pected, a blood test should be takenbecause most kids do not show any signsof led poising, which is why testing isimportant.

The Kenosha/Racine Lead-FreeCommunities Partnership has been anopportunity to

for this program states there are manysituations she encounters where she meetsmothers who are so young they have yetto learn how to care for a home and set-ting proper guidelines for their childrenwhile balancing their own life. One ofMcLemore’s aspirations to make a differ-ence in our community is to begin a homefor young single mothers where they canlearn basic skills that most of us take forgranted. She has already started takingsteps towards that dream through rentalproperty her and her husband Larry own.She desires to help those who need a sec-ond chance, to lend a hand to those whomay not have opportunity elsewhere. Herheart of gold has come through personallife experiences where she too needed asecond chance, and therefore is able toidentify with those who are hurting.

She shared that there were many diffi-cult situations in her own life such as herson getting shot and her husband havingcancer that could have destroyed theirlives, but it was through her faith andrelationship with God that everythingremained in tact. During the times whenpeople could not understand what her

family was going through, it was Godwho gave them strength, and gave them asecond chance in life. She wants torelease into the lives of others the heal-ing and new life that God poured into her.

In addition, McLemore’s faith hascaused her to rise above her circum-stances. She is a business woman andcan instill the principles of financial stew-ardship. She and her husband Larry start-ed a business over 25 years ago, Larry’sLandscaping and Ground Maintenance.They offer painting and home repairs aswell. This couple began the businesswith their children in mind. They wantedto pass on a financial future for their chil-dren and give them a jump start in life.They have also used the business as away to provide jobs for those who havestruggled with employment due to issuesin their past such as drug use or a crimi-nal history.

With the help and strength of the Lord,McLemore shared that she will continueto try to reach out to those have been mis-understood, hurt, or are stuck and do notknow how to move forward. She certain-ly has the knowledge, wisdom, and char-acter to pour into the lives people. Theirlives can be enriched and prosperous ifthey are willing to learn.

As Father's Day has come and gone, Inow have time to reflect on the impor-tance, or lack of importance, of the roleof the father in the lives in the youngmen of today. The conclusion that Icame to is that the role is vitally impor-tant. I want to throw a question outthere. If you had to choose whichparental role was more important to thesuccessful upbringing of a child, is it themother or the father? Now, before youanswer that question, I do ask that youpause for a minute, take a deep breath,and then take all the emotions out of yourmind and hearts. Once you have donethat, I then ask that you give me an hon-est answer. If I had to guess, for a vari-ety of reasons, the majority of you mayhave said the mothers are more impor-tant. I’ll come back to that later.

I also thought back to when mynephew was playing little league footballand I coached him for 3 seasons.(Disclaimer: this was before I had chil-dren). I can remember many singlemothers dropping their boys off to"Coach Lump" for practice each day andfor our games on Saturdays. These moth-ers will give 100% trust to me and theother coaches for the safety, direction,correction, discipline, and developmentof their kids. I can remember as the sea-sons would go on, they would come up tome and thank me for giving their sons a"male role model" to pattern themselvesafter. They would talk about how well

their sons were doing in school, howtheir attitudes had changed around thehouse toward doing their chores, andmost importantly, that they were startingto see the value in education. CoachLump did all he could for those fewhours per week and on Saturday to teach"life lessons" to these young men. Hedidn't spend a whole lot of time teachingthe game of football. That was the easypart. The hard part is teaching boys howto be men!

As I got to know the kids and theirparents, or shall I say, their mothers, themore they would confide in me.Eventually, I would start to ask the hardquestions. Why don't I see the dad hereat practice or at the games? I heardeverything from he was locked up to hesimply isn't around, which we know canmean anything. I walked away everytime thinking to myself, "Why do you

trust me to teach life lessons to yoursons, and will hold me accountable to it,but won't trust his father and hold himaccountable to it"? Because these youngmen were that important to me, I did thebest I could for them. But it saddens meto know that, by the numbers, the coachhas more authority to teach and disciplinea woman's son, than his own father.However, I do have hope that 2010 is theyear that fathers begin to take their right-ful place in the lives in our young men.

Brothers, I know that single fatherhoodis challenging. I know baby mamadrama can push you over the edge attimes. But the bottom line is this, it isnot about you, it is not about the mother,it is about the children. We coaches can-not do the job of raising your sons. Thatis your job as father. Our job as a coachis to supplement your training and buildon the foundation you have set for them.

I am an equal opportunity writer, so sis-ters; please stop lying to these boystelling them you are mommy and daddytoo. If I didn't have to be politically cor-rect, I would say what that physicallymakes you sound like. To answer thequestion from earlier…neither parent ismore important than the other. The rolesare different, but equally important. Achild has the DNA of both parents and ittakes both parents to develop these kidsinto well rounded adults. As a father oftwo, Coach Lump knows that it starts athome. Coach Lump can do what he can.However, more fathers are needed thancoaches in order to make the biggestimpact in the lives of our kids, especiallyour sons!

Coaches vs. Fathers, Who Do We Need More Of?

well as electronics. “It’s a great learning tool,” he explained.Set up next to Crump was Lloyd Price, 51, with his gas engine mini cars. Born in

Enterprise, Mississippi, Crump’s father bought race car tracks for Christmas for hischildren. Lloyd said that the hobby is a good way to keep kids occupied so they wouldnot be drawn to the streets. At Juneteenth he told young people that model cars couldgive kids an option, a hobby, besides running the streets.

Raylena Windmon walked the grounds reminiscing about how at the age of 16, shewas crowned Miss Juneteenth 1992, “One thing she misses about the celebration is thepagent – it brought representation for the strong young black woman.” She said thatit gave her and other young women something to look forward to and something tostand for. She says the pageant concluded a week before Juneteenth day. The queenwould come to Juneteenth and celebrate and be in the 4th of July parade. She feltimportant because many young women wanted to shake her hand. “I felt as if I wasbeing an example.” She now is a mother and has a 3-year-old son Jacoby, and an 8year old son Geordon. She has been an LPN for 6 years and is currently pursing RN.Winning the contest gave her a sense that she could be whatever she chose.

President Barack Obama spoke for anhour Wednesday at Memorial Hall con-vincing a partisan crowd of some thou-sand people that the economy was recov-ering and the country was headed in theright direction. Whether successful or notwas irrelevant.

The starry eyed crowd held their cam-eras high and gave celebrity cheers.Afterward, people had little to say aboutpolicy, the country's direction or even

about what the president had said. It wasmore about the "experience" of being inhis "presence."

The afternoon talk was billed as a"town hall forum," which it really wasn't.The president took a few questions fromthe audience, but his answers took solong it drained any sense of interplaywith the audience. Snappier answerswould have allowed for more questionsand more of a sense of a forum. But that

isn't what this visit was about.Tucked underneath the smooth deliv-

ery and warm reception was a politicalmessage. Things may be bad, Obamasaid, but Republicans will make themworse. In the heart of his openingremarks he lambasted Republicans forbeing out of touch and aligned with thesuper rich. He singled out oneRepublican Congressman for apologizingto BP for the U.S. forcing the company tosetup a $20 billion fund to pay victims ofthe oil spill in the Gulf. AnotherRepublicanwas chastisedfor suggestinga proposedoverhaul ofthe financial regulatory system was akinto killing an ant with a nuclear bomb.

The attacks played well with the audi-ence and helped underscore Obama's, andDemocrats', message. You think we'rebad? You should see the other guy.

Overall, it was a different feel fromcandidate Obama's visit to Racine inFebruary 2008. Obama joked at the startof his talk that he had a lot less gray hairback then, and no doubt that's true. Whenyou're a candidate all you have to do ismake promises. When you're president,you're expected to deliver.

Leading into Obama's Racine visit was

a looming question: What's he going tosay?

I thought he'd use the visit to highlightsome local companies and bring someneeded positive attention to a city that'sstruggling with unemployment, foreclo-sures and public education. On this point,he was oddly silent. In past talks he'dtaken a few minutes to acknowledge localbusinesses that were models of success inthis economy. There are certainly goodexamples like Ruud Lighting, Modineand its fuel cell technology, and SC

Johnson andits commit-ment to greencauses.

But a visitlike this isn't meant for local consump-tion. The key people at the speech werethe national media relaying images of thepresident visiting a downtrodden city todeliver messages of, well, hope.

So we all feel good that the presidentput us on the map for a day or two, andit's fun to see one of the world's largestcelebrities talk in your hometown. It's toobad he brought little more than imagesand political posturing to a city in need ofObama's elusive campaign promise:change.

Are you a Medicare recipient andstruggling with the costs? You might beeligible for a program that could help yousave money. One program, Extra Help,which is also referred to as Low IncomeSubsidy helps people with the cost oftheir Medicare Part D plan. The secondprogram, Medicare Savings Plan, assiststhose that qualify by paying for premi-ums of Medicare.

Drug Cost HelpNo matter what amount of life insur-

ance you have, or whether someone helpspay for your housing, utilities, food orproperty taxes, you might qualify for helpto cover your prescription drug plan pre-miums and co-pays. A single personearning less than $1218.38 a month withunder $8100.00 in savings, or a couplewith monthly income less than $1639.13and assets below $12,910 may qualify topay no premium for their drug plan. Addlower drug copayments and no coveragegap to this savings of over $400 on pre-miums, and this benefit could save youthousands of dollars, depending on theprescription drugs you use.

Concerned that you still may have toomany assets? Wisconsin's SeniorCaremay be just the answer as you need topay only $5 for generics or $15 for brandname prescriptions. There is no monthlypremium, just an annual enrollment feeof $30. Although only individuals withmonthly incomes below $1444 (or $1942for a couple) qualify for the low rateswith no deductible, those with higherincomes might still benefit fromSeniorCare for other reasons, such asprotection from paying the full price ofdrugs in the Part D "doughnut hole."

Medicare Savings PlansNew laws in 2010 have

increased the resources you can have andstill qualify to have your Medicare Part Bpremium paid for you. Couples withincome less that $1639.13 per month andwith savings less than $9910 can apply atyour local county economic supportoffice or online at www.access.wiscon-

sin.gov to save over $1150 each onMedicare premiums -- and automaticallyqualify for help with drug coverage pre-miums as well! Individuals with incomesbelow $1218.30 per month and assetsbelow $6600 can qualify as well -- sav-ing more than 7.8% of their income!

Even greater help is available for indi-viduals making less than $902.50 permonth or couples with incomes lowerthan $1214.17. Not only will their Part Bpremiums be paid for them, but also thehospital and medical deductibles and allbut a very small co-payment for healthservices. A house, car, and personalproperty do not count as assets, and insome cases an additional $1500 in sav-ings can be set aside for burial expenses.

So, if you or someone you know is onMedicare and having trouble makingends meet, please be sure to apply forthese programs. Help is only a phonecall away if needed. The followingstatewide resources can assist you inlocating your local support, or in somecases can help to fill out applications foryou. They are also other helpful placesto turn for the other specific programsmentioned above.
