Change seems to be the ongoing theme these lastcouple of years; and appropriately so. Communitiesand citizens have faced the woes of bad decisionmaking and a recessed economy for far too long.Second district alderman candidate Jameel Ghuariagrees with the need for change, and that’s exactlywhat he plans to bring to the table.

A native Racinian, Ghuari is most known for hislong term position as executive director of the JohnBryant Center. With already 30 years in the socialservice sector, Ghuari looks at the new position asan opportunity to broaden his service to others. Inaddition to being an effective leader in the commu-nity, Ghuari also maintains, “I am a fighter. If thereare issues that need to be fought, if there’s a needfor someone to do the right thing, I am that per-son.” So what issues does Jameel plan to ‘fight’ as

the second district alderman?“There is one issue that is city wide - there are

no jobs; we need jobs in our community.”With plans already under construction, Ghauri

shares his vision for economic growth and the cre-ation of new jobs for his district, “There’s no gro-cery store on the south side of town and there’s nopharmacy. Those are essentials that every cityshould have, and those two particular businesseswe don’t have on the south side.” With the imple-mentation of these two inspirations, Ghauri is hop-ing to employ a large percentage of the youths, aswell as adult, within the community. In this way,the establishments become, ‘not only communityfriendly, but employment friendly’ as well.

Another issue nipping at Ghauri’s heels is thefact that the community needs assured availabilityof their alderman. “There needs to be set hours at

Lumpkin, who served as Supervisor for eight years, is try-ing to take back his seat from Jim Kaplan, who defeated himby only one vote in 2008.

Lumpkin says Nunn, will work to encourage young votersbetween the age of 18 and 35 the importance of voting inlocal elections.

Nunn says, “Our young people do not have a problemwith voting in national presidential elections, but do notunderstand that local elections have a greater impact on theirday-to-day lives”

In addition to helping registering new voters, she will bein charge of educating people on who is eligible to vote.“Many younger voters who are felons feel they can no longerexercise their right to vote,” she said. “People who are nolonger “on papers” (no longer on probation) have a right tovote.” she explained.

Lumpkin says over the years there has been a great deal ofcriticism about the young minority voter. “We want to makesure that their voices and concerns are heard.”

Lumpkin says that he and other candidates running foroffice would like to know what’s on the minds of our youngpeople.”

A listening session has been planned for Thursday March25, at 6 pm, at the the Dr. Martin Luther King CommunityCenter, 1134 Dr. Martin Luther King Drive. The event issponsored by Lumpkin and Sherrie Lawson, who are candi-dates for 4th District Alderman and Supervisor positions.

Some people spend a lifetime trying to figure out how they want their future tounfold. For Calvin Simmons, it was simple. He wanted to be a mechanic.Simmonsmother died when he was seven, and he and his siblings had to make it for them-selves. He believes the death of his mother is what gave him an early start in under-standing people.

Soon after graduating from Park High School in 1983, Simmons joined theU.S.Army, and became a lightweight diesel mechanic. His time in the military wouldform a foundation for the life long native of Racine. He spent seven years in the serv-ice and afterwards enrolled in Lincoln Technical Institute, located in Union, NewJersey.

In 1993 he received the prestigious Jack Apgar STS Car Service Award. At thattime Simmons said, “I demanded peak performance from myself in the military and Ihave applied that attitude to my studies here at Lincoln Technical Institute. Hebelieves that your attitude is the guide to how far you will make it in life. He shareshis feeling daily to anyone who might give him a listening ear. An outgoing, enthusi-astic, and very discipline man, Simmons said a person’s attitude has everything towith his capacity for success.

Simmons says it is time for him to give back to the Racine community. In a recentmeeting with Racine Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services, he outlined how he candirect teenagers towards a healthier lifestyle. Simmons says educating students abouttechnology skills can be many of the their tickets to a better way of life. Using him-self as an example he said, “What I did was reengineered my life from the streets totechnology professional skills.”

His dream is to draw interest to the field of mechanics and hopefully start aninternship program for inner-city youth.

Simmons desires is to steeryoung people away from anegative street life

the community center, for the alderman,so the community knows their aldermanis going to be there.” Ghauri would alsolike to establish an online presence. “Weneed to develop an interactive source tocome up with solutions to aldermanicproblems. Each alderman should have awebsite.” According to Jameel, the web-site would be used to send and receiveinformation, make announcements andprovide citizens the opportunity to sharetheir opinions about certain issuesthrough a blog. With these increases inaccessibility, Ghauri expects citizens tobe more confident in their ability toaddress their alderman with cares andconcerns they have about their communi-ty.

On a final note, Ghauri also share animportant observation he’s made. “I thinkwhen you look at the second district,there are two sides, the east side [associ-ated with security and high employmentrates] and the west side [associated withfear, crime and high unemploymentrates].” While he notes that both ‘sides’are different, he maintains that each areawants to feel secure and have opportuni-ties to build a better life. “As things exist

now, they [the sides] have different issuesthat restrict equality. There has to be adistrict wide plan.” As alderman, Jameelplans to address those issues; thisincludes holding a number of forumsgeared toward open discussion with him-self, the mayor or anyone else who canhelp address the ongoing matters.

For those interested in hearing moreabout Jameel Ghauri’s plans for the sec-ond district, a forum is being held March18, 6:00 p.m., at the John Bryant Center.This is an opportunity for the citizens tomeet, question and discuss issues with thetwo district candidates, Ghauri and EricMarcus.

With Election Day quickly approach-ing, Jameel closes by encouraging citi-zens to get to the poles April 6. “One ofthe big issues among African Americans,and many inner city residents, is that theydon’t vote, but they want to complain. Ifwe want to exercise our right to com-plain, then we also have to exercise theprivilege to vote.” So? Go vote for whatyou want!


Now, the whole country knows aboutthe success of Racine County’s “E3”(Employ, Enrich, Engage) Program.

The County’s employment and trainingprogram, which engaged 240 young peo-ple in “green jobs” last summer, receivedbroad exposure on March 6 inWashington DC at the NationalAssociation of Workforce Boards(NAWB) Conference. Four youthinvolved in E3 were the featured speakersin a presentation entitled “DevelopingYouth Programs to Build Social andEconomic Capital.” One reason the pro-gram stood out from other “stimulus”programs from around the country wasbecause Racine used strong communitypartnerships to leverage the federal fundsand garner additional monetary and in-kind local resources.

“Our time at the conference was eyeopening,” said 20 year old UW-Milwaukee student Grace Caringellofrom Burlington. “We did not realize howunique our E3 Program and RacineCounty were until we heard the greatreaction from the audience.” Ms.Caringello worked with a team this pastsummer to develop a recycling programfor the Burlington School District. At theconference she shared some of the publicservice announcements that she and hercolleagues created.

The uniqueness of E3 was also high-lighted by 18 year old Prairie SchoolSenior David Sanchez who created “Job-Link Racine” to employ homeless youth.In Washington DC, Mr. Sanchez

described how he was one of the commu-nity partners that helped develop thecounty’s program and even collaboratedwith other youth to create the “E3” name.He also described his experience with theARRA Scholars Program, a continuingeducation course held at the University ofWisconsin - Parkside where studentsfrom Racine County learned about theAmerican Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (ARRA) and assessed E3’s econom-ic, environmental and social impact.

In addition to the conference, the youth

also went to Capitol Hill to meet withstaff members from Congressman PaulRyan’s and Senator Russ Feingold’soffices. As 21- year-old GatewayTechnical College (GTC) student OliviaFields explained, “Meeting with someimportant people was a great opportunityto have our voices heard.” Ms. Fieldsworked in the summer at a local greenbusiness, Pacific Sands, and is currentlyemployed at the 21st Century School.

Of course, not all of the time was spentin meetings. The group also made the

most of their few days in the nation’scapitol by seeing famous sites rangingfrom The Library of Congress to TheSupreme Court to The HolocaustMuseum. “The night tour we took of themonuments was the most memorable forme,” said 21 year-old Steven Cotton. “Itwas pretty crazy to actually see theLincoln Memorial and stand where Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. gave his ‘I HaveA Dream’ speech. It was the place inWashington, DC that I always wanted tosee.” Mr. Cotton was part of an environ-mentally-friendly lawn care entrepreneur-ial business in the summer and currentlyworks at the Racine Family YMCA. Heplans to build on what he learned in E3by enrolling in GTC’s new Wind Turbineprogram and then perhaps working on aSustainable Management Degree at UW-Parkside.

Our County Executive WilliamMcReynolds said it best when he stoodup from the audience at the end of theNAWB presentation and noted how thefour young people were a terrific repre-sentation of Racine County’s impressiveyouth and how very deserving they wereof this national acclaim. CountyExecutive McReynolds and CountySupervisor Chairperson Peter Hansenwere in Washington DC attending theNational Association of Counties’ 2010Legislative Conference.

There's mostly good news from this year's Thoughts for Food, as the final numbersare tallied.

Attendance was up 8 percent over last year, and food donations were up 40 per-cent. Income was also up, 7 percent -- but so were expenses.

Nonetheless, by all accounts, Dan Taivalkoski, executive director of the RacineCounty Food Bank, tallies up this year's concert a success.

Here are the final numbers (subject, as always, to minor tweaking):Net income from the benefit concerts was $15,495, just $207 less than last year.

But 3,628 pounds of food were collected, compared to 2,588 last year. Total atten-dance this year was 1,812, compared to 2009's 1,681.

Some of the money collected came from the friends and family of Lester Eaton, aWorld War II vet who, before he died on Feb. 24 was a member of the Circle 8Square Dance Club. Memorials in his name totalled $900.
