New NAACP report outlines how clean energy reduces dangerous pollution
Lansing On Saturday, October 27, 2012, the NAACP released, Your Energy, Your Power!: A Case Study on Renewable Energy and Public Health Equity in Michigan. This report well documents that minority communities disproportionately shoulder the burden of coal pollution. Proposal 3 on the Nov. 6 ballot requires that 25 percent of Michigans electricity come from clean, renewable sources of energy, such as wind, solar, and hydropower by 2025. If we cant do it for ourselves lets do it for our children! In this spirited debate on the pros and cons of Proposition 3 (25% renewable energy by the year 2025) weve seen lively discussion from both sides on project costs, job creation, consumer savings and the appropriateness of amending the Pamela Smith constitution for this initiative. Project Manager Your The one thing we dont argue about is the improvement in health outcomes Energy, Your Power! for Michigan residents if we use more renewables. Each year Michigan consumers continue to suffer from a wide range of respiratory illnesses such as asthma, lung disease, bronchitis, heart disease and even premature death, caused by the burning of coal to generate electricity. These illnesses are unneeded, unwanted and completely preventable. And in Michigan, communities of color bear a disproportionate share of the damage to our health and the health of our children. An NAACP report on this subject discloses the following facts: Your Energy, Your Power!: A Case Study on Renewable Energy and Public Health Equity in Michigan reveals that Michigan had six coal-burning power plants that received an F grade ... emitting the most toxins in the most populous areas occupied by the largest proportion of most vulnerable communities low income communities, as well as communities of color. According to the report, Michigans communities of color represent 18% of the asthmatic population in MI, but account for 75% of the (baseline case) emergency room visits for asthma. If Michigan were to clean up its energy supply by increasing reliance on clean, renewable sources like wind power, and decrease its reliance on coal, o Michiganders could avoid more than $1 billion in health damages. o Michigans low income communities and communities of color, would receive the majority of the public health benefits. When you tie in the facts that African Americans across this country are twice as likely to die from asthma; more likely to die from lung disease in spite of lower smoking rates than their white counterparts and that our children are more likely to be asthmatic than white children regardless of their family SEE P 5, Your Energy, Your Power!

Plans for Adult Drug Court with Circuit Judges in Saginaw County Established
Judge Janet Boes and Judge James Borchard have been meeting and training with their drug court team for months as plans for the first adult drug court program in Saginaw County came together in October. Drug Court is a specially designed treatment focused program with the purpose of reducing recidivism and substance abuse among nonviolent substance abusing criminal offenders. Adult drug courts, which have been established throughout the country, are not designed to treat all drug-involved offenders. Drug courts focus on drug-dependent offenders who have not responded to existing treatment and correctional programs and have become repeaters within the correctional system. In Saginaw County, various agencies have been involved in the drug court planning process, including law enforcement and health officials. The goal is to increase the likelihood of success for high risk, high need offenders through early, continuous, and intense judicially supervised treatment. Mandatory random drug testing, community supervision, and use of various incentives and sanctions are part of the program. Procedures and practices for the program are based upon standards developed by the National Drug Court Institute. Based upon those standards, as well as funding limitations, admission to the program is selective. Thus participation is a privilege. Funding comes from several grants, including Governor Snyders Urban Drug Grant that focuses on crimes that have occurred in the City of Saginaw. The Saginaw County Drug Court team includes: Coordinator-Susan Smith, Case managersStephanie Anthony and Jennifer Kellerman, Pretrial Services specialist-Mary Amend, Probation Agents-Charles Green, Rick Riebshlieger, and Jonathon Brown, Defense attorney-Gena Amos, Assistant prosecutor-Barbara Meter, Sergeant Randy Pfau and Deputy Don Thom of the Sheriffs Department, Saginaws Acting Chief Brian Lipe, Health Department Director Of Substance Abuse Treatment & Prevention-Amy Murawski, along with both judges.

As Michigan NAACP President Yvonne White so eloquently stated. It is past time to leave behind the importation and burning of dirty coal and embrace the clean, renewable and homegrown energy sources of the future. It will save the state money on health costs, and save our children from debilitating diseases like asthma. Lets give our environment, and our children a well-deserved break by way of Proposal 3.

VOTING FACTS
At least 270 electoral votes are required for a candidate to be declared president. If this number is not reached in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives elects the president. The 2008 presidential election was the first time in U.S. election history when two sitting senators ran against each other for president. From this election, Barack Obama became just the third sitting senator ever elected. Only two women have ever won the nomination of a major party in a U.S. presidential election: Geraldine Ferraro was the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1984, and Sarah Palin was the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee.

Editorial
By Mike Thompson For The Michigan Banner Ill be voting to re-elect President Obama on Nov. 6, but there are factors that give me pause: First of all, Im highly disappointed that we still have soldiers being killed and maimed in Afghanistan, while at the same time we slay innocent civilians, including children, with our drone missiles. For what purpose? Few of the Afghan victims are terrorists, much less terrorist leaders. I tell myself that overall I trust President Obama and that hes a good man and he must have his reasons, but I have not heard any sort of decent explanation. To me, he was right about Iraq and should have opposed the Afghanistan warfare for the same reasons. Second, even if Obama wins, his foes will continue to block him with Senate filibusters and all sorts of obstructive tactics. Maybe we need to let the far right-wingers have one more chance to fall on their faces, and thus resolve all the trickle-down myths once and for all, although it seems 2001 through 2008 should have sealed the deal. Third, and I must say this carefully and cautiously, but I continue to fear for Barack Obamas own life and limb. Any president or prominent politician is at risk, of course, but the utter hate for Obama -- much of it racebased -- will only intensify if he captures a

narrow victory. If he has another inauguration come January, lets hope he and Michelle dont get out of the limo and walk along the street. It scared the pants off me when they did so back in 09. Okay, that being said, heres why Im for Obama: Hes been generally right about health care, although I wish he had not been blocked from establishing a public option or ultimately a universal single-payer system. I cant believe when critics say they dont want a government takeover through Obamacare, but dont mess with their Medicare. I dont expect an everyday citizen to as well informed as myself, a lifelong journalist, but cmon. How can full-fledged grownup adults be so ignorant about basic facts and at the same time have the nerve to criticize todays education system? Hes been generally correct about the need for taxes, although I fail to comprehend how a family income of, say, $80,000 to $250,000 is middle class. I only wish Obama had talked more about restoring taxes, the old Clinton rates, rather than raising taxes. Again, some people are so dumb they claim Obama raised their taxes during his first term, when he actually lowered them. He is right about the need to rebuild infrastructure such as roads and bridges and sewer systems. In fact, this should be branded a necessity rather than a government jobs program because even if the economy were in full swing, full employment, the infrastructure work would still be needed. He is a calm, reasonable, professional person. In fact, he was blasted by liberals, his purported allies, in the first debate for being listless when I thought he was simply striving to be civil. I could also base my Obama support on the fact that Mitt Romney is such a blatant liar, but I try to not to build up my candidates by tearing apart the opposition. Among Romneys worst lies are to say Obama did an apology tour in the Middle East and that Obama tore apart the work requirement in the welfare system. All candidates stretch matters from time to time by in my four decades of following politics, Romney is the worse. In closing, conservatives who engineered all of this years voter suppression on bogus allegations of voter fraud should truly be ashamed. Sometimes things get so bad that we have to laugh in frustration to keep our sanity. On this particular topic, check out my favorite obscure comic by Google searching Larry Wilmore voter fraud.

The Final Debate

By Armstrong Williams
Opinions & Commentary

has lied to us about Benghazi; this is all in the public record. But Romney did not even mention it, never mind pressing him on it. Romney was presidential: he had a staggering number of statistics available off the top of his head. The President didnt have many of his own (any, actually, that I can recall), and couldnt challenge Romneys factual assertions. The Left seems exasperated at how often the two candidates agreed, and are criticizing Governor Romney for agreeing with the president, but they shouldnt feel that way. Foreign policy has never been a purely partisan issue. Even during the worst months of Vietnam or during the summer of 2007, there were hawkish Democrats and isolationist Republicans. There are ideological divides in foreign policy, but they do not cut evenly between the political parties. This is the one area in which we have not become polarized. To give just one example that demonstrates this, every president that has run for office on a peace platform has waged war: Wilson, Johnson, Nixon, and Obama. When youre president, things happen out in the world that you cannot control: the world outside is a lot more volatile than the world inside. Its a lot harder to be an ideologue in foreign policy than it is in writing checks to Solyndra. Moreover, Romneys confidence made Obama look all the more narcissistic. The President was, frankly, petulant. Obama attacked first, last, and most often. Almost every interruption was by him. He even seems to have caught himself over reaching, and broke out his million-watt smile when chastened by Romney for interrupting. Consider that the President said, like King Louis, this countryme. I knew what he was trying to say, but its particularly startling to hear the President say it while glaring across at Romney. So what is it that the Democrat-Media Complex wants from Governor Romney? Had he disagreed and carped at the President, he would be called partisan, an ideologue. The Governor demonstrated an open and rational mind, which was aided by his closing statements mention of bipartisanship. How ironic it is that President Hope-And-Change was on the attack, and Governor Romney cited an actual record of bipartisan leadership. Generally, a draw goes to the incumbent, butthe scientific snap polls not withstanding I think that this is a slight victory for Romney. He appeared presidential in front of the American people, unmediated by the media. It was a golden opportunity, and he took it. Armstrong Williams, a third-generation Republican, is a widely-syndicated columnist, CEO of the Graham Williams Group, and hosts the Armstrong Williams Show. He is the author of Reawakening Virtues.
During the final debate, we went into some foreign territory. The election is going to be about the economy and the size of government, not foreign policy, but the task of a presidentand, lets not forget, a governmentis most essentially to protect Americans. It is, at the most basic level, not as a manager or prophet or pop star, but as a commander-in-chief. And that was what the debate was: a clear view for all of the two prospective commanders-in-chief. While they are similar in many ways, there were some minor differences that might have major consequences in the future. As with the economy, the American people already know Obamas foreign policy. Weve lived through it for the past four years, and so it is to be expected that more focus has been put on Governor Romney. Romney kept the gloves on, and passed up numerous opportunities for attacks, but, to his credit, looked more reasonable; he looked calm, cool, and collected. Obama, on the other hand, looked the way he did in the second debate: irate. Romney treated the debate as a professional performance; the President seemed to take it personal. Lets face it: Romney had a lot of red meat that he could have thrown to his base. We know that the Obama Administration FROM P 7, Child Custody Bill Michigan court from allowing a parent in a child custody dispute to take a child to a country that is not a party to the Hague Convention unless both parents provide the court with written permission.
The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty that was established to preserve whatever status quo child custody arrangement existed immediately before an
alleged wrongful removal or retention. The idea behind the Hague Convention is to allow a parent to seek recourse without traveling to the other country.

Social Security Helps Veterans and Active Duty Military Everyday

By Cynthia W. Edwards Social Security Public Affairs Specialist Flint - November 11 is more than just a national holiday; Veterans Day is a time to honor the men and women who risk their lives to protect our freedom. We at Social Security ask you to join us in saluting the men and women of the armed forces. Be sure to say thank you to a veteran on this important day. For those who return home with injuries, it will be our turn to help them. If you know any wounded veterans, please let them know about Social Securitys Wounded Warriors website. You can find it at www. socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. The Wounded Warriors website answers a number of commonly asked questions, and shares other useful information about disability benefits, including how veterans can receive expedited processing of disability claims. It is important to note that benefits available through Social Security are different than those from the Department of Veterans Affairs and require a separate application. The expedited process is used for military service members who become disabled while on active military service on or after October 1, 2001, regardless of where the disability occurs. Even active duty military who continue to receive pay while in a hospital or on medical leave should consider applying for disability benefits if they are unable to work due to a disabling condition. Active duty status and receipt of military pay does not necessarily prevent payment of Social Security disability benefits. Receipt of military payments should never stop someone from applying for disability benefits from Social Security. A person cannot receive Social Security disability benefits while engaging in substantial work for pay or profit. However, the work activity is the controlling factor and not the amount of pay the person receives or military duty status. Learn more by visiting www. socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. We at Social Security thank all veterans and members of the armed services for all that they do not only on Veterans Day, but every day of the year.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. For many business owners, in as little as two to three years (and regardless of the level of financial success achieved), the entrepreneurial dream of freedom, independence and wealth has warped into a partial nightmare. The wish to be master of their destiny has degenerated into them being a slave to their business, their employees and their customers. The fire in their belly has been replaced by a growing uneasiness in their gut. Does this describe you at all? Habitually, many of you are still working too many hours, wearing too many hats, and handling too many things. As your business has grown, your fun and fulfillment have not. In fact, most of you suffer from the generalized feelings of anxiety, mental fatigue, and of being trapped in the business. For sake of simplicity, I have termed these feelings, the business owner blues. For years, you have deluded yourself. You kept telling yourself that one day you would get caught up, slow down, and have more free time to do other things. That the blues would eventually fade. In reality, the sixty to seventy hour workweeks continue. The stress continues. You cant even escape the business for a few relaxing, no-work days. You still scramble like a hyperactive squirrel preparing for a harsh winter. How did you get to this point? Odds are, you were a gifted technician (programmer, electrician, painter, landscaper, CPA, SEE P 13, Business Owner Blues?

FROM P 12, Business Owner blues? mechanic, chef, attorney, carpenter, salesperson, etc.) who caught the entrepreneurial bug several years ago and started, acquired or inherited a business one that mirrors your technical skills and experience. Now, as you try frantically to maintain control of your growing company, you are likely over-worked, overwhelmed and suffering from a full-blown case of the business owner blues. You feel like a prisoner to your business. As it grows, you work harder and become deeper enslaved. The work, the problems, and the company revolve around you. If you are honest, business ownership is probably quite different from what you expected and from what you have been prepared to handle. If not held in check, the very strengths that made you a successful technician (detail orientation, hands-on doer, technical expertise, day-to-day focus, etc.) can be real liabilities to you as a business owner. Technical expertise alone is never sufficient to build and manage a healthy and profitable business. You must provide the vision and leadership of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the order and systems of a Manager. You must get strategic to get free! You must learn to focus on the entire business, not merely the technical work of the business. You must elevate your mindset. Need a cure for the blues? Give me a call or email.

Education
By Dr. Deborah Hunter-Harvill Superintendent of Schools Buena Vista School District Guest Educational Journalist Greetings to the Michigan Banner Readers and Concerned Citizens: As past President of the National Alliance of Black School Educators and a crusader for educational equality, I join concerned Saginaw residents and ask, do we really believe ALL CHILDREN CAN LEARN? If we do believe, we must own the phrase, Education is a Civil Right. We then as community stakeholders, must contact building principals, school superintendents, classroom teachers and ask how we can help. In Buena Vista, our students are striving to learn best instructional practices that will help them to move towards successful reading. As parents, we must require that our students display respectful, caring and productive behavior. Students must be willing to give learning all they can to receive what is rightfully their education. Accountability fits when we request that teachers give students the best instructional fanfare possible. Ancestors fought for all children to receive a quality education. Therefore, we ask you to join us as we launch our Literacy Volunteer Reading Program. This program will begin on Monday, November 5, 2012, from 8:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. at the following participating schools: Henry Doerr Child Development Center, (Grades PK-3) Mrs. Cheek, Principal 989-755-5421 Phoenix Science and Technology Center, (Grades 4th-8th)

Buena Vista High School has completed its festivities for the annual Homecoming Game on October 12, 2012, with many exciting festivities. The students participated in a new event called Deck the Halls. Students from each class decorated a hallway to commemorate a certain decade. The seniors led with a blast from the past-The 70s and we brought it up to The 00s with the incoming freshman! Spirit Week led us into Homecoming, on Thursday October 11, was our Coronation Ceremony for the homecoming court. The participants in this years Court were: Freshmen- Derrick Jones and DAirricka McKinney; Sophomores- Gabriel Parks and Briona McKenzie; JuniorsDavid Garza, Shaqwenyha Curry, Vanessa Stacy and Tyshia Gilyard; and Seniors- Tyrell Bridgewater, Demario Thomas, Lourenzo
Caldwell, Clifford Wicker, Jazzminn McKenzie, Natriona Moore, Kiana Jenkins and Carlena Lawrence. On game day, the parade led by our Homecoming Court with the homecoming game commencing at 7 p.m. and the homecoming dance followed the game. Come and check out all of the new things we have going at the high school, we are on the move! The Election Process: We advocate and believe in Voting for Leadership. We have asked our students to get engaged in the process. First, we have approximately eighteen students that are 18 years old and are registered and will become first time voters. Can you recall how you felt after you registered for the first time and were then allowed to vote? Our students are excited and will vote at their neighborhood voting sites. In addition, our entire district will be asked to partake in a District Wide Voting Day where they will engage in a mock election for the Presidential Debate on November 6, 2012. They will vote for the President of the United States as well as the Buena Vista School Board Members. Currently, there are five candidates, four of which are current Board Members. The current board members that are running for re-election would be Rhonda Burton, Barbara Ann-Weigandt, Frances Hayes and Mary Haynie. Beverley Ford is also running for the Board of Education. Students will be interested in knowing who becomes their school board members. Each School has a STUDENT COUNCIL and SEE P 16, Sowing Seeds of Education

Education Issues
By Dr. Craig Douglas Superintendent of Schools Carrollton School District Guest Educational Journalist On October 27, I was invited to give a speech at the fall meeting of the Ezekiel Project. Ezekiel has been around more than a decade and is centered upon the improvement of living conditions for citizens living in the Saginaw region. It was an honor to be invited to address the assembly of several hundred area leaders on the topic, Education Issues. Here are excerpts from my talk. I hope you like what I had to say, and feel free to follow up with me about any of the points I am making. I am 60 years old, have been in education for 38 years. (I am) married to my wife, Joan, who joins me here today. I started out teaching math and coaching in Chesaning..... Came to Carrollton in 1995 and have been FROM P 15, Sowing Seeds of Education Leadership has been selected by the student body. So, we too await the results. Superintendent Dialogue Session: You are invited to meet with me on Wednesday, November 7, 2012, for our first Superintendent Dialogue Session. The district will host a Live Chat through MLive. Please be sure to check out the live chat link on the Buena Vista School District Facebook page or the MLive website.

I love Carrollton...For a moment; imagine the best teacher you ever had in class. Was it in Elementary? Middle or High school? How were you helped? How different would you be today had it not been for that teacher? Go back in time, sit in the same seat! Lets say your class takes the MEAP test. Lets say you did NOT so well. You may be asked, What went wrong? Did you try? Those questions came at YOU, the Student; because you took the test and you were held accountable. Today? Well, not so much...Those questions come at your teacherWhy was this SCORE so low? And the Principalwhy were your building scores so low? Fair? It doesnt matter. It is the way it is! My wife and I have visited schools in China and India. Contrary to popular belief, the schools in China and India are NOT better than our schools. The teaching is not better, nor are the facilities. In fact, in Carrollton we have hosted guest teachers from China and they have struggled to KEEP UP with us. The number of classes....The number of students... (All was) Overwhelming! Now think again about the best teacher you ever had. Your MEAP scores were lowWould you want to replace him/her? Want to blame that teacher if the test scores are too low? I call for all of us to stop blaming. Blame does not help anyone. Instead I call upon all of us to search for common solutions. Support each other. Help each other. Create communities that trust each other and help each other. Best wishes to you. You may contact Superintendent Craig Douglas at 989.399.8860, or 989.239.0675.

History of Native American Heritage Month American Indian Heritage Month

Native American Heritage month began its battle for recognition in the early 1900s. It was first initialized by the director of Museum and Arts and Sciences in Rochester by the name of Dr. Arthur C. Parker. This man born a Seneca Indian persuaded the fledgling Boy Scouts of America organization to reserve one day of the year for First Americans. This however was not to last as this day of recognition only carried on for 3 years. The Boy Scouts did however continue to use Indian lore and customs in its teachings. There were various lobbying attempts at a monthly recognition including Red Fox James who acquired 24 state approvals for a nation Indian Day and later to petition for United States citizenship for all Native Americans. Citizenship was eventually granted in1924 under the Indian Citizen Act enabling all American born Indians full United States citizenship. The next stage in creating Native American recognition came at the hands of State governments. The First American Indian Day was the Second Saturday in May of 1916 in New York. In the following years states like Illinois, North Dakota, and Massachusetts made their own Indian Recognition Days. In 1968, California Governor Ronald Reagan made the fourth Friday in September an official State holiday for Indian recognition. Finally in March 1992 President George H.W. Bush created Proclamation 6407 announcing 1992 as the Year of the American Indian. From then on every November since 1992 has been Native American Heritage Month. Events for Native American Heritage Month at Central Michigan University include: Environmental Awareness Day 2012 Thursday, November 1, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bovee UC CID 108 Indigenous ft.

Dr. Nashs Dental Corner
Dr. Jack Nash has been practicing dentistry for over 35 years. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan Dental School. He has also been an adjunct faculty member at Delta College and is currently a Fellow of the American Academy of General Dentistry and a graduate of the prestigious Council on Innovative Dentistry. 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. Dear Dr. Nash, When I was a teenager I had braces (orthodontic treatment). I was under treatment for about 18 months and I looked great when I got my braces taken off. I had that Million Dollar Smile. Everything was fine until I went away to college and was on my own. Trying to hit the books and keep my grades up, I neglected my teeth and now I realize that my retainer does not fit anymore, and between a couple of my teeth the spaces are appearing again. I want to get that smile back that I had right after I had my braces taken off. Why did my spaces (gaps) come back again? I thought that my orthodontic treatment was good for a lifetime. Eddie Dear Eddie: I want to commend you for going to college so that you could do better for yourself, but the first couple of years of college can be very stressful. I see a lot of first and second year college students in my office and many complain about the same problem because, just like you, they did not wear their retainers when they went off to college. They know now like you that after wearing braces there is no guarantee your teeth will not try to move. It is hard to keep your grades up, adjust to all of the social influences of being away from home for the first time and also remember to wear your retainer. Also, many college students get stressed and start to grind their teeth which may cause some movement of teeth and combined with not wearing the retainer.well, the retainer was made so that your teeth do not revert to the position they were in before you had braces. If the retainer is not worn for a couple of weeks -- or even days -- it may never fit again, and youll have a problem if you want to keep that same smile you had when you got the braces off. The first thing I would do is to contact the orthodontist that provided your braces treatment. If you are out of state, call your orthodontist for a referral to someone nearer to your school campus. If your teeth have not moved out of position too far, some minor adjustments or a different type of retainer may be all that is needed to get your smile back. However, if you have not worn your retainer for a very long time, you may have to have your braces put back on in order to get your teeth back into proper position. Having braces done over again is certainly not unheard of. Ive had several patients in my office that had to have their orthodontic treatment done all over again because they did not wear their retainers. We have to remember that if you can move a tooth from one place to another then that same tooth can move back to the position it was in originally. Retainers are called retainers for a reason; they are made to retain a tooth in position. Hopefully in your situation some minor tooth movement will get you back to that Million Dollar Smile and you wont have to get your treatment done all over again.

Saginaw System of Care Improves Outcome for Our Youth

System of Care (SOC) is an approach for improving outcomes for youth with severe emotional disorders and their families by expanding the availability and access to individualized, culturally competent, and family-driven services and supports. DID YOU KNOW: Mental illnesses are serious medical illnesses. They cannot be overcome through will power and are not related to a persons character or intelligence. Mental illness falls along a continuum of severity. Even though mental illness is widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportionabout 6 percent, or 1 in 17 Americanswho live with a serious mental illness. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that One in four adults-approximately 57.7 million Americans-experience a mental health disorder in a given year The U.S. Surgeon General reports that 10 percent of children and adolescents in the United States suffer from serious emotional and mental disorders that cause significant functional impairment in their day-to-day lives at home, in school and with peers. The World Health Organization has reported that four of the 10 leading causes of disability in the US and other developed countries are mental disorders. By 2020, Major Depressive illness will be the leading cause of disability in the world for women and children. Mental illness usually strike individuals in the prime of their lives, often during adolescence and young adulthood. All ages are susceptible, but the young and the old are especially vulnerable. Without treatment the consequences of mental illness for the individual and society are staggering: unnecessary disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, suicide and wasted lives; The economic cost of untreated mental illness is more than 100 billion dollars each year in the United States. The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly effective; between 70 and 90 percent of individuals have significant reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life with a combination of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments and supports. With appropriate effective medication and a wide range of services tailored to their needs, most people who live with serious mental illnesses can significantly reduce the impact of their illness and find a satisfying measure of achievement and independence. A key concept is to develop expertise in developing strategies to manage the illness process. Early identification and treatment is of vital importance; By ensuring access to the treatment and recovery supports that are proven effective, recovery is accelerated and the further harm related to the course of illness is minimized. Stigma erodes confidence that mental disorders are real, treatable health conditions. We have allowed stigma and a now unwarranted sense of hopelessness to erect attitudinal, structural and financial barriers to effective treatment and recovery. It is time to take these barriers down.

SVSU Named Best Business School by Princeton Review

Saginaw Valley State University was named an outstanding business school in The Best 296 Business Schools: 2013 Edition, a publication from The Princeton Review. Were pleased to see our MBA program recognized this way, particularly because the ranking is based on what our students have to say about the quality of their education here, said Jill Wetmore, dean of the College of Business and Management. The review, published by Random House and released Oct. 9, includes annual rankings based on student surveys. More than 19,000 opinions were taken into account from students who attend the best 296 attributed MBA programs in the world. Robert Franek, senior vice president for Princeton Review said, We consider Saginaw Valley State University one of the best institutions a student could attend to earn an MBA. We selected the schools we profile in this book - 280 of which are in the U.S.A. and 16 are international - based on our high regard for their academic programs and our reviews of institutional data we collect from the schools. The Princeton Review is distinguished for its respected college rankings in many classifications based on how students rate their schools. It doesnt rank the schools from 1 to 296, nor does it name one business school the best overall. The Review has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 business schools in several categories by giving students an 80-question survey. The survey asked students to rate multiple characteristics of their schools containing questions on their professors and fellow classmates. Some rankings are based on data that was reported by the schools.

Great American Smokeout

The American Cancer Society is marking the 37th Great American Smokeout on November 15, by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By doing so, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, yet more than 45 million Americans still smoke cigarettes. However, more than half of these smokers have attempted to quit for at least one day in the past year. Quitting is hard, but you can increase your chances of success with help. The American Cancer Society can tell you about the steps you can take to quit smoking and provide the resources and support that can increase your chances of quitting successfully. To learn about the available tools, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345. Source: www.cancer.org
November is COPD Awareness Month

Up to 24 million Americans show impaired lung function, which is common among those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD, the third leading cause of death in the United States. Its a staggering number, made more so by the fact that only about half of them have been diagnosed. More than 12 million Americans have been diagnosed with COPD, while an estimated 12 million more have it, but have not been diagnosed. COPD, also known as emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is a lung disease characterized by an obstruction to airflow that interferes with normal breathing and over time makes it very difficult to breathe. COPD is not curable; however it is preventable, and can be treated and managed effectively, particularly when the disease is diagnosed early. People at risk of COPD, especially current and former smokers with COPD symptoms, should consult their physicians about a spirometry test in order to diagnose the disease as early as possible and begin treatment. The primary cause of COPD is the inhalation of cigarette smoke. Other causes include exposure to occupational dust particles and chemicals, as well as a rare genetic mutation called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. The American Lung Association has helped provide information and support to people with lung diseases, for over a century. Every day, and especially during COPD Awareness Month, we need to reach out to those at risk and urge them to get tested. If you are a current or former smoker and/or have any symptoms of COPD, get tested as soon as possible. Luckily, the test, called spirometry, is simple and quick. If someone you love is a current or former smoker with symptoms, urge them to get tested too. Signs and symptoms of COPD include: Constant coughing, sometimes called smokers cough Shortness of breath while doing everyday activities Keep Our Athletes Safe! Producing a lot of sputum (also called phlegm or mucus) Feeling like you cant breathe or take a deep breath Wheezing Once Diagnosed: If youre a smoker quit now! Take any medicine youre prescribed exactly as instructed. If you are having problems, talk with your healthcare provider about possible solutions. Get active! Keep as physically fit as possible and discuss pulmonary rehabilitation with your physician. Pulmonary rehabilitation can help you rebuild strength and reduce shortness of breath. Educate yourself. The Lung Association has a wealth of information and resources to help you better understand your lungs and COPD. Get Support. Controlling COPD is easier as a team effort. Ask for and get support from those who love you. Source: www.lung.org

i am
a runner and go-getter

For Lauren Little, its all about making connections. The rhetoric and professional writing major spends her summers volunteering and works during the school year giving tours as a Club Red ambassador and an Orientation Leader. A students mom came up to me years after she took a campus tour, and she wanted to say hi, Lauren said. Thats the kind of connection I want to make. Lauren hopes to go on to pursue a masters degree in Chicago and eventually to run her own public relations firm. Waking every day at 5:30 a.m., Lauren organizes her life around running, but ask her, and shell tell you that learning is the top priority. Education is my all, and SVSU is truly home for me; it makes it that much easier for me to love what I do every day. I simply love everything it has to offer the campus life and all the opportunities for growth.
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.
