Study Supports Link Between Blight Elimination and

Drop in Saginaw Crime, SVSU Study Reports
Leading in Diversity
County Crime Prevention Council,

resulting in a crime statistics basis for
creating crime measurement tools,
Stemple said.
In 2013-14, Miller and SVSU undergraduate
students conducted research that helped Saginaw
law enforcement leaders better understand the
citys crime hot spots.
That research received national media
attention, and led to a related study that
extended to the county level in 2014-15.
City officials are pleased with SVSUs
community commitment and encouraged
by the research findings.
It is because of these long-standing
relationships, the faculty and students
commitment to seeing Saginaw prosper and ultimately a report prepared by SVSU which tells us we are on the road to
prosperity, Stemple said.
Reported incidents of part one crimes
dropped from 2,631 in 2012 to 2,115 in
2013, when the MSHDA funds were
made available for the latter part of the
year. The crime figure dropped to 1,868
in 2014, marking a 29 percent reduction
over that two-year span.
To date, MSHDA has funded the demolition
of 599 abandoned structures; law enforcement
experts say such blight contributes to crime.
The MSHDA money will fund 301 more
demolitions. That would eliminate half of
the estimated 1,800 abandoned homes the
city counted in 2013.
Millers study also tracked trends in specific
neighborhoods. The research showed crime
hot spots had cooled in the areas where the
concentration of demolition was heaviest.
Those neighborhoods largely were located
specifically in Saginaws Houghton-Jones
and Cathedral districts.
Other contributing factors to the drop
in crime include the assignment of Michigan
State Police patrols to the city as well as a
decline in Saginaws population, Miller said.
In 2015, SVSU received the Community
Engagement classification from the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching, a distinction achieved by only 7
percent of U.S. colleges and universities.

University Center, MI - Saginaw Valley

State University researchers have found a
connection between a recent drop in Saginaws
violent crime rate and a Michigan State
Housing Development Authority (MSHDA)
initiative aimed at eliminating blighted
structures from the city.
Andrew Miller, SVSU assistant professor
of geography, led the study. He presented
the findings during a Tuesday, May 26
symposium that also featured U.S. Rep.
Dan Kildee.
The event was a focus on Saginaws
community development since receiving
$11.2 million in MSHDA funds to demolish
abandoned homes beginning in late 2013.
Millers analysis was commissioned by
Saginaw City Hall officials looking to track
the impact of the MSHDA funds the city
received. He said the study represents
SVSUs dedication both to community
interaction and hands-on learning.
This is a local university using local
information to solve local problems, Miller
said. On top of that, were using local

students with skills they attained at a local
university to service their communities.
Beginning in April, Miller performed
statistical analysis while two of his students
were responsible for much of the studys
data management and GIS work.
Those students were Mitchell Kloc, a
professional and technical writing major
from Freeland, and Daniel Johnson, a
criminal justice major from Sparta who
graduated in May. Johnson continued
working on the project after he completed
his studies.
John Stemple, Saginaws chief inspector,
said he and other City Hall officials turned
to SVSU to conduct the study because
of the universitys strong record of
community engagement.
The City of Saginaw has partnered
with SVSU on several occasions with
positive results, including participation
in the multi-jurisdictional Saginaw
Musicfest!

Univision Acquires African-American News Site The Root
By Frank Pallotta
N. Y. - Univision, the premier media
company for Latinos in the U.S., has
acquired the African-American oriented
news and culture website The Root.
This bold new partnership between
Univision and The Root underscores
the ties that have long bound people of
color together throughout the Western
Hemisphere, said The Root co-founder,
Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., in a
statement on Thursday.
According to Univision, The Root will
be able to use the companys facilities and
infrastructure, but will maintain its editorial
objective and voice.
Gates said the partnership represents
a sign of even greater levels of
communication, collaboration and exchange
between these culturally vital groups

of people.
The Root, founded in 2008, has
crafted itself into a leading website for
African-Americans. The site has built
an audience of 5 million unique users
a month, according to data research
company ComScore.
The website was previously owned by
The Graham Holdings Company via The
Slate Group.
By bringing in The Root, Univision
expands its brand to more diverse audiences.
Like Univision, The Root aims
to serve a significant segment of
Americas diverse population, Isaac
Lee, president of News and Digital for
Univision Communications Inc. said
in a statement. This game-changing
union strengthens our ability to fulfill

our shared missions of informing and
empowering our communities.
Univisions most famous anchor, Jorge
Ramos, broke through to mainstream
audiences in April when he was named one
of Times 100 most influential people.
The anchor, who is considered to be
the most influential Hispanic anchor in
the country, made one of Times five main
covers alongside other influential people
like musician Kanye West and Supreme
Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Also in April, Univision ended its
longest-running show, Sabado Gigante.
Gigante was a flagship broadcast
that was on the Spanish-language network
for more than 50 years.

8 Effective Listening Skills for Sales Professionals
By Robert R.
MI- When you meet a potential client for
the first time you should listen more than you
should speak. By performing effective listening
you will gain important sales intelligence, but
you will also show that you are genuinely
interested in building customer relationships
and that you are more interested in them than
just closing another sale.
1. Are you nervous or insecure? You might
be communicating that with your eyes. As a
sales professional, you need to maintain eye
contact in a natural and appropriate way.
When you are at the critical stage of building
rapport and trust with customers, you cant undermine
your message with shifting body language.
2. Observe the body language of your
audience. Be sensitive to what is not being said.
If someone is interested in your solution they
will likely show you with their body language
before they tell you with their voice.
3. Practice Patience. It can be very hard

to do. Dont interrupt. Let the speaker finish
and never change the subject.
By letting the speaker finish, it will only
allow you to collect more intelligence that you
can use later in the sales process. This is one
of the most important elements of building
relationships with customers.
4. Listen empathetically and listen to
understand. This idea goes back to one of Dale
Carnegies quotes about listening which is to
become genuinely interested in other people.
The only way to deliver a personal solution
to each customer is to have an honest understanding
of what they want. Know what your customer
needs and when appropriate take notes.
5. Make sure you clarify any uncertainties
to minimize communication barriers. Even
if you might not have a question, ask one. When
you get the other person talking you will find out
more information than you ever thought possible.
6. Dont make conclusions or assumptions.

Sales calls are funny. People are different. It is
important to meet every opportunity and conversation
with an open mind and accepting attitude.
7. Practice pure listening. When the other
person is talking you should act as if they are the
only person in the world. Remove all distractions,
especially your phone. This is a very important
for effective communication. Did I mention
you should turn your phone off or on silent?
8. Prepare to focus on the client. Customer
focus is vital. Take a minute before the meeting or
call to put all your focus on the speaker or customer.
This practice will allow you to better understand
the voice of the customer. When working on
building relationships with customers, using your
effective listening skills are absolutely critical.
Remember, you should be listening more than
talking. Keep that in mind when you meet a
potential customer for the first time.

Better Choices, Better Medicine, Better Healing
Culture and Health Behavior

By Mukeba Kabongo
Wash. - As a robust young man and future
health professional, I lead a healthy life by
maintaining a healthy body weight in order to
minimize my risk of getting certain diseases
in the future.
There are a myriad of reasons that can
explain why some people engage in risky
health behaviors, and culture is one of the
most influential ones.
First, what do I mean by lifestyle choices?
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) explains that people
establish patterns of behavior and make
lifestyle choices that affect both their current
and future health. These behavior patterns of
that are established have positive or negative
effects on health.
Mukeba Kabongo
For example, a person
who regularly consumes
a high sodium/fat diet
and does not exercise will
become more susceptible
to cardiovascular
disease (CVD) and
other related diseases.
On the contrary,
making
a daily effort
CPR and First Aid Courses held Monthly
to engage in physical
activities and eating a
healthy diet will reduce
ones susceptibility to
chronic diseases.
Second, what relation
is there between culture

expect a certain level of expediency when it

comes to getting what they want; the notion
of immediate gratitude.
For example, in North Americas fast-paced
environment, most people frequently eat out
as opposed to cooking at home. Conversely,
in an agriculture-based nation, such as the Congo,
people grow crops in their backyards, at their
schools, as well as in other environments.
Unlike the U.S, this also means that they
have to endure the tedious process of plowing,
watering, planting, and waiting for crops to
grow, all of which are necessary and take
patience. Additionally, when the crops are
ready, they must be picked, sorted, washed,
and cooked.
However, with so many food-swamps in
U.S, it is often easier for people to skip cooking
and go buy pre-cooked or packaged food, most
of which have poor nutrient content.
The culture of convenience has become
an issue of major concern for most U.S. citizens,
particularly because of its implication for
certain chronic diseases. The websites below
provide comprehensive overviews of the
influence of culture on behavior with respect
to health.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
PMC2571048/
Culture influences many aspects of peoples
lives, especially their health behaviors. Education
plays an important role in raising peoples
awareness about the negative health effects
due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Developing
culture-based approaches that effectively
address the issue is critical to minimizing
chronic diseases.

National Cancer
Survivors Day
Tenn. - On Sunday, June 7, 2015, tens of thousands of people around

the world will gather in their local communities to observe the 28th annual
National Cancer Survivors Day.
Hundreds of cities across the U.S. and abroad will hold celebrations
on this day to honor cancer survivors, to bring attention to the ongoing
challenges of cancer survivorship, and to show the world that life after
a cancer diagnosis can be fruitful, rewarding, and inspiring.
NCSD also provides an opportunity for cancer survivors to connect
with other survivors, celebrate the milestones theyve achieved, and
acknowledge the family members, friends, and healthcare professionals
who have supported them along the way.
A survivor is anyone living with a history of cancer - from the
moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life, according to the
National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation, administrator for the celebration.
For the vast majority of survivors, cancer is no longer
the automatic death sentence that it was a few decades ago,
says Foundation spokesperson, Laura Shipp.
The reality is that, among U.S. adults, the 5-year relative
survival rate for all cancers combined is now approximately
68 percent. In 1987, the year that NCSD began, that number
was just 56 percent.

participate, visit: http://www.ncsd.org/.

FUNdraising Good Times
Fundraising and Basketball
Part two of a two part series

By Mel and Pearl Shaw
Saad & Shaw Comprehensive Fund
Development Services
Mel and Pearl Shaw
Its that time of year - basketball every

night! The games get better and better.
Fans are loyal, excited and stressed.
People on the east coast stay up
way too late. Everyone is wearing
their teams logo. The playoffs are on!
If youre a fundraising fanatic you are
inspired as you imagine your fundraising
team performing with the precision of
your favorite basketball team.
In the NBA, the coach develops a
game plan. In fundraising, its the
fundraising plan, strategic plan, business
plan - or a combination of these - that
serve as the game plan.
Before each crucial game, NBA
coaches scout their opponent. In
fundraising, you prepare by researching

potential donors. What are their interests
and philanthropic priorities? What is
their current or prior relationship to your
organization? Dont take your team onto
the court unprepared!
Good coaching is key to both the
NBA and fundraising. Basketball teams
have a head coach: in fundraising
coaching can come from consultants or
the chief development person.
Great teams have loyal fan bases
who are with them whether they are
up or down. These fans believe in the
team, their talents, resources and
ability to prevail.
With fundraising, there is a
constituency that believes in your case.
They feel you have all the elements to
succeed, or that you are getting there.
As in basketball, good fundraising
teams feed off the energy. The community
gives to your campaign, introduces
new donors and encourages you to
be successful.
Basketball teams reward their
fans with fan appreciation gifts and
events. You need to do the same. Its
called stewardship.
Good teams practice, practice, and
practice. Good fundraising programs are
always educating, training and orienting
their leadership, staff, and volunteers.
They consistently communicate, sharing
an easy-to-understand message and
clear examples of impact. They dont

take anything for granted.
Basketball teams are big on stats:
the number of points, how they compare
with the competition or prior years.
Same in fundraising. Its time to get
big on data: use it to compare your
activities and results. Review it
closely, make adjustments to your
strategies and tactics and increase
the odds of meeting your goal.
Lets talk about recruiting. NBA
teams have scouts out on grade
school courts - or so it seems. What
about your organization? What is
your recruiting strategy? Where will
your talent come from? You need
more than one superstar: you need a
winning team.
How are you cultivating your
next fundraising hires, your new
board members, and advisors? And
dont stop at scouting: winning teams
keep their top talent. You know what
that means: time to invest in building
and reinforcing your current talent and
helping them to be the best they can.
Mel and Pearl Shaw position
nonprofits, colleges and universities
for fundraising success. For help

Franklin Graham Says There Is No Tolerance for Christians in Culture

After Marine Court-Martialed for Keeping Bible Verse on Her Computer
Cpl. Monifa Sterling/Photo Wynona Benson

Photography/ Courtesy Liberty Institute
By Stoyan Zaimov
Christian Post Reporter
The Rev. Franklin Graham has spoken
out on a case concerning a Marine
Corporal who was court-martialed for
refusing to remove a Bible verse from
her computer at work, stating that it
shows that there is no tolerance in culture
for Christians.
Marine Lance Cpl. Monifa Sterling
was court-martialed earlier this week
after she was convicted Feb. 1, 2014,
for refusing to remove the verse "No
weapon formed against you shall prosper"
(Isaiah 54:17) from her computer.
"Unbelievably, she was criminally

prosecuted by the U.S. government for
displaying this encouraging scripture
on her computer in her workspace. Give
me a break, really?
Can our society be at a point where
a supervisor can order a young Marine
to remove a Bible verse from her computer?
Others are able to display secular messages
without any opposition, but Sterling
was targeted by her supervisor," Graham
wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
"Today there's a tolerance in our
culture for everything except the
things of God and His Word. The Court
of Appeals for the Armed Forces has been
asked to review Lance Cpl. Sterling's
case let's pray that this kind of targeting
and persecution of Christians by our
government will be stopped."
Fox News' Todd Starnes noted that
Sterling represented herself at the trial,
and was found guilty of disrespect toward
a superior commissioned officer and four
specifications of disobeying the lawful
order of a noncommissioned officer.
Sterling was given a bad conduct
discharge, while her rank was reduced
from Lance Cpl. to private, after both
the lower court and the appellate court
ruled that displaying Bible verses at work
is not protected under the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act.
The Liberty Institute has now taken

up her case, however, and has filed an
appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the U.S. Armed Forces.
"If the government can order a Marine
not to display a Bible verse, they could
try and order her not to get a religious
tattoo, or go to church on Sunday,"
attorney Michael Berry said. "Restricting
a Marine's free exercise of religion is
blatantly unconstitutional."
Last week Graham stood up for an
Air Force general after the Military
Religious Freedom Foundation called on
Maj. Gen. Craig Olson to be court-martialed,
this time for giving credit to God during
a speech at a National Day of Prayer event.
Olson received heavy criticism
from the MRFF, which said in a letter
to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh that
he should be "aggressively and very visibly
brought to justice for his unforgivable
crimes and transgressions" for saying
that God helped him throughout his
military career.
Graham argued that atheist groups
are attempting to "bully Christians into
silence" with such actions.
"Are Christians the only group of
people who cannot identify themselves
publicly in this country? Are we the
only voices who cannot speak?" the
evangelical asked.
