Registered Pharmacist Bob Stresing and the Serv-U Team Zinc May Boost Immunity Getting enough zinc may help protect the elderly from serious infections. New research showed 30% of nursing home residents had a zinc deficiency (blood levels less than 70 mcg/deciliter). Those with low zinc had a significantly higher risk of pneumonia. Zinc is important to our immune system. It improves the function of T cells, white blood cells that target and destroy bacterial and viral invaders. Zinc supplementation increased the number and effectiveness of the T cells. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before supplementing. Food sources include meat, shellfish, nuts, pumpkin seeds and beans. HEALTH TIP WEEK of the 260647096 Paid Advertisement WE GUARANTEE THE LOWEST PRICES EVERY DAY !

"We also rely on the expertise of local and feder- al authorities to address potential threats," she said. Milwaukee World Festival has made signifi- cant enhancements to Henry Maier Festival Park, home to Summerfest and a multitude of ethnic festivals, in several areas, including security, Stolper Dieckelman said. "Most recently we modi- fied our carry-in policies, including restricting the size of bags, and banning backpacks," she said. "We have implemented other security policies and proto- cols in an effort to enhance the safety and security of employees, patrons and per- formers." Radical teachings Dais was born in Jerusalem and entered the United States without a passport because of her marriage to a U.S. citizen, arriving in Chicago via Paris in November 1992, according to an affidavit filed in support of the crimi- nal complaint. Dais' hus- band filed for divorce in 2003. The FBI arrested Dais on June 13. She appeared before a federal magistrate judge on the charges the same day. She was ordered held with- out bail in federal court in Milwaukee on June 15. Dais faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The pending case against Dais again raises the need to combat radicals and teach the true meaning of Islam, said Rizwan Ahmad, a leader with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Milwaukee. "Usually when we see something like this, where someone has strayed far from true Islam, it involves some aspect of mental health," Ahmad said. "At the same time, we applaud the authorities for putting a stop to this." The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which claims to be the oldest Muslim com- munity in the United States, launched its True Islam campaign after a December 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., carried out by violent extremists, left 14 people dead and 22 others seriously injured. "We have been called on to help fight extremism and radicalization," Ahmad said. The campaign is aimed at Muslims and non-Muslims alike and condemns all ter- rorist activity. "It's about the true teach- ings of the Quran," Ahmad said. In many situations, extremists target those who are weak and vulnerable, he said. "Most of the time it has nothing to do with religion," Ahmad insisted. Progress is being made through the campaign, which is designed to create a dialogue involving people of all faiths and backgrounds, but challenges remain, Ahmad said. "There's a long road ahead," he said. "Situations like this are why we started the True Islam campaign." Cudahy Mayor John Hohenfeldt declined to com- ment on the case and referred an inquiry to the Cudahy Police Department. Police Chief Thomas Poellot said it is his policy not to comment on any investigation conducted by another law enforcement agency. "Once a case is in the hands of a prosecuting authority, it has been our long-standing practice to refer any inquiries to that prosecuting authority," Poellot said. "It would cer- tainly not be appropriate for us to discuss an investiga- tion done by the FBI that is currently in the courts." The Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI's Milwaukee division investi- gated the case. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin Matthew Krueger, and Special Agent in Charge Justin Tolomeo of the FBI's Milwaukee Division announced the charges against Dais. The government is repre- sented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Haanstad of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, with assistance from trial attorney Jolie Zimmerman of the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section. Dais is being represented by John Campion, a federal public defender. Campion declined to comment. Terror: Muslim community pushes back against radical teachings continued from Page 1 Brown: Damages requested for injuries suffered on Brown, who was kneed in the groin and thrown to the pavement, crying out "You got my neck!" and had his ankle stood upon. Mahnke ordered someone to tase Brown. Grams told Krueger, "(i)f the guy hadn't been such a dick it would have been 'hey, have a nice day!" you know? But then I thought, okay he's being an ass, he's trying to hide something." Brown asked, "All this for what?" and officer James P. Collins replied "Because you're being stu- pid now." After Samardzic asked if Brown played for the Bucks and Brown lay on the ground for six minutes, the officers let him up. Krueger said, "I like the Bucks. My kid loves the Bucks." The suit also alleges the officers corroborated their story with Grams turning off his camera for nearly five minutes and other offi- cers did, too. Mahnke said in the com- plaint "because he plays for the Bucks, if he makes a f--- ing complaint, it's going to be a f---ing media firestorm. And then any little f---ing thing that goes wrong is going to be 'ooh Milwaukee Police Department is all racist' blah blah blah." As time spent on the case increased, Collins is cap- tured at the parking lot singing "money, money, money, money, money." The record also shows he slept for 12 minutes in his car while on overtime. The complaint also says officer never gave him a Miranda warning on his right to an attorney and giving statements while he was unlawfully detained. Mahnke received a 15-day suspension, Krueger a 10- day suspension and Samardzic a two-day sus- pension while all three were put on an employee improvement plan. The lawsuit also says none of the officers intervened. Police Chief Alfonso Brown was cited in the law- suit for not giving a full account of the officers' actions. Brown asks for damages for "unnecessary and severe personal physical and psychological and emo- tional injuries." continued from Page 3 Post WAUKESHA — The last of three men charged with stealing a truck containing well over a hundred cases of alcohol from New Berlin- based General Beverage, the distributor where they worked was sentenced to a prison term June 15 in a sen- tence that closely tracked those imposed on his col- leagues.
