Remembering a Passionate Visionary Leaves a Legacy of Community Leader Extraordinary Restoration

AT&T and Youth Support Community - Page 2
Saginaw Bernice Barlow, a passionate positive force of the community passed away on Sunday, August 4. The longtime president of the Saginaw branch of the NAACP was a retired teacher, wife and mother. The name of Bernice Barlow was synonymous with passion for the rights of others, and known to many not of her generation. She was very, very concerned about the social ills of the community, and she fought with every bit that she could to try to make Saginaw a better place, said Leola Wilson, her longtime friend and current president of the Saginaw branch of the NAACP. We so often emphasize the negative, but when you have people like her who have been a part of the community you begin to think, had they not been concerned, had they not done everything they could to make it a positive community, where would we be? Wilson asked. Barlow graduated from Saginaw High School in 1945 and Delta College in 1963. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Michigan State University in 1965 and a masters degree from MSU in 1969. She did post-graduate work at the University of Michigan, Central Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University. She would continue as an educator for over 30 years in the Saginaw Public Schools. Barlows community and national participation was rich and she participated in the march on Washington in 1963 and the Poor Peoples March in 1968. She also attended the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr. SEE P 2, Remembering .... Saginaw Saginaw is fortunate to have been the adopted hometown of Dr. Samuel H. Shaheen. Affectionately known as Doc Shaheen was a great innovator, visionary, and philanthropist, who died August 14. A man who would restore a community while caring for the people who lived in the communities was the catalyst for the beginning when he became concerned about his elderly patients worries about expenses that were a part of their housing, and began to build first SEE P2 Visionary

Attorney Returns to Hometown

Alan A. Crawford is a criminal defense attorney that recently returned to his hometown of Saginaw to open an office after practicing in Detroit for the past several years. His father, former mayor and retired dentist, Lawrence Crawford, and his mother, Winnie Crawford, a retired librarian of Webber Middle School, raised Crawford with a sense of responsibility to the inner-city youth creating a desire to pursue a career in the criminal justice system. After graduating from Arthur Hill, Crawford attended the University of Michigan. While at Michigan, he was involved in several organizations, and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity Incorporated. As a member of the organization, he developed the ideals he learned from his parents while in Saginaw, and had the opportunity to implement several programs focused on at-risk youth in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area. After graduating from the University of Michigan, where he excelled, graduating in just three years, the concept of responsibility in connection with the inner-city and African American youth led Crawford to Howard University School of Law in Washington DC. Howard University was his choice over other schools primarily because of the schools rich history and its role in producing social engineers that fought the legal battles to ensure equality during the Civil Rights movement. Because of his concern for urban America, Crawford begun his career at a law firm in Detroit where he had the opportunities to represent indigent criminal defendants, and also work on large criminal cases in the region, including cases ranging from terrorism, and public corruption, to large drug conspiracies and death penalty cases. Attorney Crawford is looking forward to serving the Saginaw County with an involvement with the inner-city youth. To contact Attorney Alan A. Crawford, of 803 Court Street, in Saginaw, call 313.559.7881, or email alan@acrawfordlaw.com.
Local Nonprofit to Offer Scholarship Opportunities to Michigan Students

With the school year fast approaching, the Legacy Civic Fund, a Saginaw based nonprofit organization, announced its 2014 scholarship competition, which is open to college juniors and seniors who have complete 60 or more credit hours, attend a state university and meet the organizations eligibility criteria. The Legacy Civic Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, which serves to improve the quality of life for residents through education, financial literacy, and health awareness. The Legacy Civic Fund was founded in 2011by State Rep. Stacy Erwin Oakes, D-Saginaw. Oakes said her vision for the Legacy Civic Fund began over 15 years ago as a young woman who dreamed of leaving an enduring legacy that would serve as a source of inspiration to others. My father and mother were my sources of inspiration growing up, but I was fortunate enough to have other mentors who helped guide and support me along the way as well, said Oakes. I found myself working as a prison guard after graduating from Ferris State University. I went on to earn my teaching certification from Saginaw Valley (State University) and taught in Saginaw Public Schools before earning by law degree from the Michigan State University College of Law. Throughout that process Ive been blessed with tremendous support from family and friends. We need to make sure every child has this kind of encouragement and support network. Oakes said the mission of the Legacy Civic Fund is to help set a path for people from all walks of life.

Around the Nation NALEO Policy Institute on the Changing Dynamics of the Latino 50+ Population
New Mexico - Many factors contribute to health disparities including inadequate access to care, quality of care, genetics, personal behavior - including poor environmental conditions and insufficient personal support systems. The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Policy Institute will highlight provisions of the Affordable Care Act, as well as expose policymakers to recent state legislative action, that can help reduce disparities in underserved populations. As older Americans begin to leave the workforce, a debate has ensued over the state of retirement in the country and concern has grown about the state of our public and private pension systems and the ability of these systems to help workers transition to a financially secure retirement. The NALEO Policy Institute is designed to give participants an in-depth understanding of issues surrounding secured and insecure retirement, social security, pensions, and private savings particularly among lowincome households. Participants will learn, at the presentation, on August 23-25, 2013, in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico, about the various retirement strategies currently in place, public and private efforts to improve retirement security, and the role individuals, employers, and government play in trying to address these complex issues. Participants will be exposed to the strategies employed by elected officials and other stakeholders in advancing key priorities affecting the 50+ population forward in their respective communities. Breakout groups will have the opportunity to engage in cross jurisdictional dialogue on some of the opportunities that exist to address these issues. For additional information contact Arabel Hernandez, Program Coordinator for Constituency Services, 213.747.7606, ahernandez@naleo.org

Filantropia~Social Good Deported but Determined: DREAMer Raises Funds for London Grad School
By Aura Bogado Colorlines News Editor
Nancy Landa arrived in the U.S. with her parents when she was 9 years old. She graduated high school with honors and was in the top three percent of her graduating class. Because she didnt have a greencard she worked to pay for college. She also rode the bus for four hours round-trip each school day from her South Los Angeles home in South Los Angeles to California State University at Northridge. Before graduating with honors with a BS in information systems degree, she was active on campus and was even Photo courtesy of Nancy Landa class president. When Landa started college in 1998, there was no such thing as the DREAM Act, which would allow certain people who arrived to the U.S. as minors a pathway to citizenship. Although some version of the DREAM Act has existed in Congress for more than 10 years, it has never been passedyet those people who might benefit from the legislation have claimed the word DREAMer for themselves. Since the DREAM Act was introduced during the time she was in college, Landa considers herself a first generation DREAMer. She graduated in 2004, and worked at Los Angeles area non-profits and continued to try to adjust her immigration status. Landa says that because a notary missed key deadlines on their political asylum applications her whole family became ineligible for authorization to remain in the U.S. She hoped that immigration reform would provide some kind of relief, but, just like the DREAM Act, it never came about. Immigration officials ordered the entire familys removal. Landa was deported from the only real home she ever knew on September 1, 2009; her mother, father and brother were deported one month later. None of the four were high priority immigrants who were accused of any crimes. As one of the two million immigrants deported under the Obama administration, says she identifies with the Dream 9, and even signed a letter urging the president to release them from detention.[I] thought it was important to share a deportees perspective on Dream 9, she explains. Landa tried to continue her education in Mexico, but her country of birth doesnt recognize her degree. So she got creative. She decided that if the United States and Mexico wouldnt support her ambition to earn another degree, she would look for a third country that would. Her perseverance paid off, because she was accepted to the Masters in Global Migration program at the University College London Department of Geography. But theres a glitch. Although Landa has worked to cover almost all her costs to begin her studies this fall, shes about $8,000 short. So shes started a fundraising effort to help get her to London to finally get that masters degree. I arrive to London on September 20 so that doesnt give me a lot of time, she says by phone from Tijuana, Mexico. Once she graduates, Landa hopes to find a job working on international migration issues something it seems shes a bit of an expert on, already. I want to work for a non-profit, an international group like the UN, or any non-governmental organization related to refugees or migrants. Id like to help, she says.
Entretenimiento~ Entertainment Arturo Sandoval to Be Honored By President Obama

President Obama named sixteen people, including Grammy awardwinning jazz musician Arturo Sandoval, for the Presidential Medal of
Freedom recently. Born in Cuba and later defecting to the U.S. in 1990, Sandoval is a well-known trumpeter, pianist and composer in both countries. As a protg of the late Dizzy Gillespie, another famous jazz musician, Sandoval contributed back to the community by becoming a music educator and by helping others learn from jazz. The Presidential Medal of Freedom goes to men and women who have dedicated their own lives to enriching ours, says President Obama. This years honorees have been blessed with extraordinary talent, but what sets them apart is their gift for sharing that talent with the world. It will be my honor to present them with a token of our nations gratitude. Sandovals struggles in Cuba gave him energy and strength to become one of the most dynamic live performers of our time. He has performed alongside other great musicians such as Tony Bennett and Patti LaBelle, was nominated for 17 Grammy Awards and winning 9, and a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning group, Irakere. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the nations highest civilian award and recognizes individuals who have made admirable contributions to the U.S and world peace. The 2013 ceremony also marks the 50th anniversary of the awards. President Obama is set to honor Sandoval and other recipients at the White House later this year. Source: Latinovations

We Are POSITIVE Youth News!
Success
By Margarett Y.E.A.R. Media Intern
Money Can Buy Dreams

By MyQuan Harper Y.E.A.R. Media Intern
Nothing is promisednot even success. Success doesnt have an age limityoure never
too young or old.
Success doesnt have a race it is color blind. Success doesnt have a genderit doesnt
matter if youre male or female.
Success doesnt have a weightneither light or

heavy.
Success doesnt have a backgroundnot

wealthy or poor.
Success does have a minda strong and

powerful one.
Success is confident in everything that it does. Success is determined and it never gives up. Success gives back and isnt greedy with its
fortune.
Success is determined by the personnot by society.
People always say if they had money they would give back to the community. They also say if they had money they would live a happier life. Does money bring happiness? Ive always wanted to know the answer to this question. People also say money is the root of all evil and in some aspects it is, but money doesnt change you, I believe, it changes the people around you, and your relationships. Ive also noticed that once someone has money people feel entitled to it as if it was their birthright to receive something from the person with the new money. Is it the right thing to give your money away to others, or just look out for you as you probably have always have done? But, on the brighter side there are dreams money can buy. Money can help you become an entrepreneur, or travel from place-to-place having fun doing what you like, and buying whatever you want. Manmoney can be like living on a high, so keep your Good and Righteous goals, because money can buy happiness and dreams can come true.

Bullying Rap/// The Potential of Youth

By Moneek Y.E.A.R. Media Intern
Bullying is a type of action that is negative to people and our society. It can result in someone being suicidal. You should think about people feelings before you crush them.
A Soulful Ditty
By Brandi Y.E.A.R. Media Intern
Put yourself in someone shoes. If you were getting bullied how would you feel? Someone having the audacity to kill, or steal, or fight. Hoping you are alright watching your back. We should come together as a community and have peace with everyoneeven our enemies
Todays society is filled with thugs, teen mothers, crime, and drugs. Our ancestors look down upon us in a negative way, because they think the things we do are wrong in every way. But our ancestors are wrong, not all youth are going down the wrong road. So, dont be sad, on what our ancestors say. Most of my peers are achieving things in the community from day to day, and some say our youth doesnt have proper academic knowledge, but 75% of my senior class is attending college. We have future lawyers, actors, and singers. Yet, with all of this talent the rumors still linger that our generation is a sad one, but let me tell you the truth.
ZACK LOOKING @ LIFE PHOTOS
No one really knows the actual potential of our youth.

End This Repetition

By Diamond Y.E.A.R. Media Intern
Black! White! Yellow! Brown! In a pool of race and ethnicity we drown. Boy, girl, woman, man, United States do united we stand? Martin, Evers, King, Till, over and over the blood ever spills. High, low, left, right, the power of the blows reps the power of spite. Face to face, eye to eye to find a solution we must try. To see the wrong, to see the lies, of which we try to hide behind. If race was not an issue, no longer a matter. Then when do we continue to follow this pattern? Time, present, future, past, how long will our excuses let it last?
Instead of spreading viral thought pollution, we need to come together to find a Real solution.

Mouth Matters
Dental Facts Submitted by Dr. Jack Nash
Dr. Jack Nash has been practicing dentistry for over 35 years. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan Dental School. To ask Dr. Nash dental questions write to him at: Dr. Jack W. Nash, POB 1442, Saginaw, MI 48607, or email him at Drjacknash@aol.com. All opinions discussed in these articles are those of Dr. Nash; treatment options should be discussed with an individuals personal dentist. Teeth are the hardest substance in the human body. 90 percent of life-threatening diseases have some oral symptoms. Tooth decay is the 2nd most common disease in the U.S. after the common cold. The earliest toothbrush was developed in China around 1600 BC. It was a simple chewing stick. Egyptians used a form of toothpaste made from a mixture of salt, mint and pepper over 5000 years ago. Approximately 2 Billion Dollars a year is spent on dental products in the U.S. The average yearly expenditure on dental care per U.S. family is $873. That is more than they spend on prescription drugs. Certain cheeses and dark chocolate have been found to protect teeth from decay. More than a billion dollars a year is spent on over the counter products that only mask bad breath odors. 65 percent of all Americans are estimated to have halitosis or bad breath. If you dont floss you will miss cleaning 35 percent of your tooth surfaces. Over 3 million miles of dental floss are purchased in North America each year. The estimated cost of one cavity over a lifetime is over $2000. Four million children in the US are affected by cavities. That is greater than the population of the City of Los Angeles. There are over 100 million bacteria in just one drop of saliva. The average human produces 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime. That is enough to fill up two swimming pools.

SAGINAW INCREDIBLE YEARS

We began our third Incredible Years class series in October 2012. 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

Attributes of a Compassionate Leader

By Corey Pritchett Greetings beloved, grace and peace be multiplied to you in the name of the Lord Jesus. Today, I will be revisiting the topic of community. During the last article on community I gave some examples of some attributes that a leader must possess. Lets do a brief review on those attributes: 1. Servant hood 2. Leads by example 3. Man/Woman after Gods heart 4. Compassionate 5. Visionary 6. Love 7. Integrity 8. Fulfilled in working with others 9. High self esteem 10. Lives on purpose to achieve purpose 11. Values Family 12. Unselfishness 13. Doesnt seek filthy lucre (love of money) 14. Knows how to handle the spotlight, but doesnt need it for affirmation I would like for you to ask yourself, Do I possess any of these attributes? I truly believe there are a huge handful of people in this community who possess the heart of a true servant. Some demonstrate this as they volunteer their time, give of their resources whether it be financially or otherwise, while others create business entities (non-profit & for profit) that service people for the betterment of their community and at times, their nation as a whole. Although we all have room to grow in our personal lives, a true leader must be someone who leads by example and doesnt need to tell everyone, how much of a great leader they are. I personally believe that a true leader is an individual after Gods own heart. I say this because that type of individual will operate out of love in everything they do, while constantly doing self-examinations to grow as an individual. Also, this is the type of person who operates using integrity in every area of their lives. Theyre not willing to compromise who they are for money or lies, nor for the spotlight, just so people can think they are a leader. A true leader is a very compassionate person, who deals with people with such a love that it inspires people to submit to the leadership of that individual. Compassion is a powerful component, without it, Jesus Himself wouldnt have done the marvelous works that He did. Sympathy will feel sorry for you and watch you drown, but compassion, will reach out a hand to lift you up. A true leader is also a visionary by nature. Without a vision, people are headed nowhere, fast. A visionary can see past the present and live a life now for the future, allowing themselves to have an attitude of what Dr. Ron Ryerson calls a right now sacrifice, for the long term gain. Lastly, for this article, a true leader must walk in love. Often times, many people equate love with or as an emotion, when it is really not. Love is an action and is demonstrated in more than words but mostly through what you do. It is love that allows people to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of others whom they dont know or havent even met yet. For the next article on community, I will continue to examine this list and ask that you do a self-examination as to see which if any or all of these attributes you possess. Until next time beloved

i am
designing my own future

Katrina Murrell is an SVSU senior majoring in graphic design, which is why you might be surprised if you saw her rsum. Resident assistant, president of the First Year Board, student success coach, peer adviser in the Office of First Year Programs, student abroad to China none of these may sound like a fit for a young designer. Yet Katrina sees things differently. Design is the work I do, she says. But that communication piece exposure to people of all different backgrounds really relates back to my work. Its all about connecting. From her work, Katrina has won the Student Life Involvement Award and the Resident Housing Association Timbo Award for her leadership, and taken part in SVSUs Honors Program. So, what does she love most about SVSU? I love the close-knit and encouraging environment, she says. This institution is a breeding ground of opportunities. I really love it.
Prospective or transfer students can check out SVSU by taking a campus tour and meeting with an admissions representative. Call (989) 964-4200 or email admissions@svsu.edu.
