Health Tip of the Week Registered Pharmacist Bob Stresing and the Serv-U Team 254991029 Controlling Blood Sugar According to a new study, going for a short walk after each meal may help control blood sugar in those with type 2 diabetes better than going for one long walk each day. Researchers had participants either walk for 10 minutes after each of their 3 meals or walk once a day for 30 minutes, for two weeks. Then they switched their routine for the next two weeks. When they measured blood sugar control, they found it was markedly better after the post-meal walks. Further study needs to be done to see if longer post-meal walks would yield even greater benefits and better overall blood sugar levels.

Milwaukee - Bay View - St. Francis Cudahy - South Milwaukee - Oak Creek Franklin - Greendale - Hales Corners Greenfi eld - West Allis - West Milwaukee mother, Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan), appears out of nowhere. At issue throughout "Gifted" is whether a pint- sized genius like Mary should be treated as a prodigy (special schools and the like) or simply allowed to be a kid (public schools and the like). Frank's all for the latter option; in fact, he enrolls her in first grade at a pub- lic school (and urges her to, you guessed it, "be a kid," as she hops on the school bus for the first time). But Evelyn and the school's administration are all for the former, Bonnie — Mary's class- room teacher — is some- where in the middle and we never quite know about Fred, Mary's empathy-evo- cating, one-eyed cat. It's all interesting enough, although I'm still per- plexed as to why Frank would've quit a professor- ship with its attendant ben- efits to become a freelance boat repairman with no insurance. Since the idea of compro- mise seems a foreign con- cept to the "Gifted" cast, the Mary issue morphs into a custody battle between Frank and his brainiac mom. Without giving too much away, I think I can say that what eventually happens in the movie should've happened 55 minutes earlier. Back for a moment to that "muddled" observa- tion in the third para- graph. One curious sequence involves a visit by Frank, Mary and Roberta to the maternity ward of a hospital — where none of them knows a soul. "Gifted" proceeds from schoolhouse to courthouse to grandma's house to courthouse again, in the process demonizing Evelyn and choking off a poten- tially intriguing and story- enriching grandmother- granddaughter relation- ship (and mother-son rap- prochement). A film with some several similarities — "Kramer vs. Kramer" — won the 1979 Best Picture Oscar. "Gifted" won't be a 2017 nominee, but it's a movie most should enjoy watch- ing. Three charged in liquor thefts from distributor where they worked "Gifted" ★★1/2 Starring: Mckenna Grace, Chris Evans, Octavia Spencer, Jenny Slate, Lindsay Duncan Director: Marc Webb MPAA rating: PG-13 Running time: 101 minutes Showings: www.marcus- theatres.com At a glance 'Gifted': While a bit muddled, most viewers should enjoy the movie continued from Page15 By BRIAN HUBER Conley News Service WAUKESHA — Three men from Greenfield and West Allis are due in court May 1 to answer charges alleging they stole more than $47,000 in vodka and whiskey from the New Berlin distributor where they worked last year. James Stadney, 47, of West Allis and Joshua Dempsey, 25, and Earl Roberts, 32, both of Greenfield, were charged Wednesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with a count of theft in a business set- ting and face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. A criminal complaint against the men said an attor- ney for New Berlin-based General Beverage Sales con- tacted police to report that at least two employees were sus- pected in the thefts of large amounts of alcohol. A surveil- lance video showed the men removing two pallets of Skol vodka worth a total of $9.180 from the warehouse and put- ting them on a delivery truck despite there being no record of the vodka being delivered or returned on a delivery route, the complaint in the case said. Stadney allegedly admitted he took the cases back to his home and stashed them until he and his co-defendants could sell them on the black market. An investigation showed at least 110 cases of Skol vodka were missing, as well as three pallets of Skyy vodka and one pallet of Mr. Boston vodka for a total loss of $41,310, the com- plaint said, adding the thefts began in November 2015 and continued to last August, when they were discovered and the men then terminated. It added the men sold the vodka for $20 a case to a liquor store on Cleveland Avenue and another in Waterford, using contacts built up in their nor- mal course of business, and the men split the proceeds three ways. At the Cleveland Avenue store in West Allis, police found at least $12,000 worth of vodka, more than 70 cases of it, and the owner admitted to buying them illegally from his driver, while officers also found 83 cases of liquor at the Waterford store, the complaint said. In addition, investigators allegedly determined the men were responsible for the theft of 76 cases of whiskey, and Dempsey was accused of steal- ing a moped worth just under $700 from his workplace and selling it to a woman, the com- plaint said.
