Hereeeeeeeeeeeeees... Kathy’s Korner!
I finally figured out why I am so "full-figured."
As I was conditioning my hair in the shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle. I am in shock! The shampoo I
use in the shower that runs down my entire body says "for extra volume and body." Seriously, why have I not noticed this
before?
Tomorrow I am going to start using "Dawn" dish soap! It says right on the bottle, "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult
to remove."
It pays to read the warning labels my friends.
WORD-OF-THE-WEEK
quixotic \kwik-SOT-ik\, Caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; foolishly impractical

Greetings Coalition Family!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
July 26th marked the 5th anniversary of The Coalition, Inc. A huge Thank You to all who have worked so hard to keep our
vision moving forward. We are international in scope and have membership in several states.
This year we are inviting leaders from all over the country to participate in a gathering that will go a long way toward
empowering those unknown, but important organizations that are working at the grass roots level with limited resources.
"There are obstinate and unknown braves who defend themselves inch by inch in the shadows against the fatal invasion of want
and turpitude. There are noble and mysterious triumphs which no eye sees. No renown rewards, and no flourish of trumpets
salutes. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, and poverty and battlefields which have their heroes."- Victor Hugo

HEALTH MATTERS
High diabetes risk in New York's South Asians
By Eric Schultz
NEW YORK | Thu Jul 7, 2011 5:20pm EDT
(Reuters Health) - A new study from New York City finds that immigrants from the Indian subcontinent have the highest rates
of diabetes in the city -- a fact that may be masked by their being grouped with other Asians in assessments of community
health risks, researchers say.
Using data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the authors found that foreign-born South Asians
-- including people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan -- have the highest rate of diabetes of any
ethnic group in New York. It is nearly double that of other foreign-born Asians.
The differences between the city's ethnic groups in diabetes rates were greatest among people with a normal body mass index
(BMI) -- a ratio of height to weight -- suggesting that standard BMI categories may be poor indicators of risk, at least for
South Asians, the authors note in the journal Diabetes Care.
The results of the study indicate that people of South Asian descent should be aware of these differences, and watch their
weight especially carefully, said study author Leena Gupta of the city's health department. Given their increased risk for
diabetes, she added, "it is important for South Asians to be screened for diabetes, regardless of their body weight."
Gupta and colleagues from the New York City and Washington, D.C. health departments looked at data for more than 54,000
participants in the annual New York City Community Health Survey between 2002 and 2008, to see how common diabetes was across
different racial and ethnic groups.
Overall, nine percent of the people surveyed said that they had been diagnosed with diabetes by a doctor, and the condition
was generally more common in people born in other countries than in those born in the US.
Among foreign-born South Asians, 13.6 percent had diabetes -- compared with 7.4 percent of "other Asians" and 5.6 percent of
U.S.-born non-Hispanic whites. U.S.-born Hispanics had a diabetes rate of 14.4 percent and among U.S.-born non-Hispanic
blacks, it was 11.8 percent.
When the researchers started comparing people within BMI categories to each other, however, foreign-born South Asians had the
highest diabetes rates in most groups.
Among people with a BMI in the "normal" range (18.5 to 25 kilograms per square meter of height), the rate of diabetes in
foreign-born South Asians was nearly five times as high as the rate in whites, and two and a half times as high as the rate
in people from other parts of Asia. South Asians also had the highest rate of diabetes among overweight New Yorkers.
U.S.-born Hispanics had the highest diabetes rate in the obese group, but South Asians were a very close second.
Moreover, when the authors adopted World Health Organization BMI categories tailored for specific regions and races to define
who was overweight and obese, foreign-born South Asians had a higher rate of diabetes at lower BMI levels than all other
racial and ethnic groups.
That result is important, Gupta's team notes, because it demonstrates that standard BMI cutoffs typically used in the U.S.
and Europe do not accurately capture the health risks of being overweight or obese for South Asians.
The findings highlight the importance of understanding the health differences between different Asian sub-populations, said
Dr. Lartha Palaniappan, an associate investigator at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in California, who was not involved in
the study.
Future studies and clinical guidelines should account for the differences between different ethnic subgroups, and not group
all Asian people into one large category, she told Reuters Health.
"This study underlines the importance of using Asian-specific BMI for diabetes risk assessment," as suggested by the World
Health Organization, said Dr. Grishma Parikh, an endocrinologist at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.

Voucher programs offer fresh produce to seniors and mothers
Each summer, the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program
provides vouchers redeemable for fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs to senior citizens at approved local farmers markets,
roadside stands and community-supported agriculture programs.
The program provides low-income seniors with four vouchers, totaling $20, which they can exchange for Pennsylvania-grown
produce. To qualify for the program, individuals must be 60 or older by December 31, 2011, with a total household income
before taxes of less than $20,147 for a single person and $27,214 for a couple, based on 2010 income. Proof of age and
residency is required. To find out what senior centers are providing vouchers across the city,
contact the PCA help line at 215-765-9040.
The vouchers will be made available at the Philadelphia Senior Center, Broad and Lombard from 2pm to 4pm Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays starting July 11th until they run out.
For information about voucher distribution at the Philadelphia Senior Center, contact Charles Brown at 215-546-5879.
A searchable list of participating farmers markets can be found here.
A similar program, the state's Farmers Market Nutrition Program, offers food for low-income women who are pregnant or who
have a child up to age 5 who is at nutritional risk. Both programs run now through November 30th.

The Agogo Cultural Center in Philadelphia, in association with the Agogo World Wide Association and the New Jersey and
Delaware Chapters will present the
2nd Annual Philadelphia Sankofa Festival
Saturday August 13, 2011.
Promoting the theme, “GO BACK AND FETCH YOUR CULTURAL HERITAGE: HONORING QUEEN MOTHERS & WOMANHOOD”, the festival is a
celebration of the African cultural heritage of
Africans born in America.
Marking its 8th year anniversary and spearheading the event is the Agogo Cultural
Center in Philadelphia which was co-founded by Donald Lewis, a prominent Philadelphia based African American business leader.
Mr. Lewis, who was Enstooled as Unity King in Agogo, Ghana, is officially known as Nana Kofi Tuuda, the Agogo Nkabomhene
(Unity King). The yearly event was launched in honor of
Nana Tuuda’s 15 years on the Stool.
According to Charles Yamoah, New Jersey Chapter of the Agogo World Wide Association, the rationale for the festival is to
“create awareness of the good things in Africa and in the process transform the African born in the USA to realize the need
to go back to Africa to reconnect with their indigenous brothers and sisters.”
Program festivities will be held on the
500 Block of Snyder Avenue (5th and Snyder Avenue),
Philadelphia,
in the area around the Philadelphia Agogo Cultural Center from
12PM - 6PM.
The Philadelphia Sankofa Festival is a celebration of African Heritage complete with African Royalty.
It’s a fun filled afternoon of children at play (face painting, crafts) and a variety of workshops, including drumming, dance
and yoga. As a special feature, this year it will showcase films from local African American female filmmakers and live
entertainment from local youth organizations. Visitors will enjoy a variety of food dishes, textile creations and artifacts
provided by vendors.
“Sankofa” is a Ghanaian Akan word meaning “it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot”
Visually and symbolically "Sankofa" is expressed as a mythic bird that flies forward while looking backward with an egg
(symbolizing the origin) in its mouth.
