SFLORIDA thefloridastar.com THE -U LISTEN TO IMPACT Monday through Friday from 10 to 11 p.m., WCGL-AM-1360 - News, guest, questions and answers - The Florida Star and Impact Striving to make a difference. Operation Ice Cold Charges 12; Freezes $3.5 Million In Burglaries Edward Laron Williams Matthew Elmendorf Timothy Smothers Willie Flynn Bobby Kennedy George Moran JACKSONVILLE While the city busted with pride because of its rapid growth, there was a few wvho started taking advantage of the growth from another angle. They saw an opportunity for personal growth. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office began receiving .many calls about the loss of appliances and air con- ditioning units which increased the cost of con- struction. The builders had to increase the amotmt charged to con- struct because they were experiencing an increase in, cost by having to pur- chase the missing items more than once. So, in January 2005. the. David Wolf Sheriff's department cre- ated a sting operation called, Operation Ice Cold. The operation's goal w as to crack down on stolen air conditioning units and appliances from residential and commer- cial construction sites. What \\as happening to the merchandise? This was one question regarding the missing items. Were the items going to other builders, private -See A-7 Man Arrested For Killing Woman On Porch Black Firefighters-It's Time For A Change Members of the black fire- fighters fraternal organization appeared on The Florida Star's radio show IMPACT Thursday night and discussed openingly the issues they are facing at the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department and S\wh the Human Rights 'Commission \was justified in recommending that the four top leaders of the fire depart- ment be released. Many residents are con- cerned and their concern grew deeper when they were exposed to a commercial that features Mayor John Pe ton, a noose and a Confederate flag. The retired firefighters. Ms. Wanda Butler and Mr. Alonza Brommer \worked for the Jackson\ille Fire and Rescue Department for more than thir- ty ,ears each. They have seen progress and they have seen regres- sion. Right now. their con- cern is for a positive change. There is racism and there is sexism in the department and none should be tolerated said the retired employees.. They feel that the public . needs to be aware of \what is really going onAvithin the ranks and understand why the Human Rights Commission made the recommendations. They did not encourage the Commission's recommenda- tion, they just told the truth. Ms. Butler pointed out several intolerable incidents that were racist and sexist. Mr. Brommer joined her and advised that at one time, there was in place a Consent Decree that required the department to have fair hiring and diversity training. After the Decree either expired or had'been signed off on in the early nineties, things changed. even the hiring policies. At this point and with the news changes, it will be years before a black employee can reach a high level position said Butler. Also. they pointed out that the equation used for equal hiring is no longer being used as the number of minori- ties that are hired are not in line with the number of minorities living in the area, as demanded by the former Consent Decree. They are aware of the fact that the local, state and national offices of the NAACP are presently investi- gating if a new decree is war- ranted. The organization's biggest. concern is fairness within the department and the elimina- tion of the racist and sexist behavior. Change continued nA-7 Unlock Cell Phones For Cheaper Rates Having a cell phone is a part of life for most Americans today but the cost could really cut into ones budget and often users with prepaid phones experience days without a phone. But that could change according to a report out of Dallas. According to a \\TAA report, a wireless technology expert in Dallas explained that consumers' ability to cut the cost of use could be done when they use an "unlocked" mobile phone. Most carriers use the lock system. Cingular. the largest wireless provider uses a tech- nology called GSM and so does T-Mobile. The report said that when Cingular and T-NMobile sign a customer to a contract, the customer's infor- nation is on a SIM card and at that time, is locked, allowing only the ability to use their rates. Howe\ er. according to the report, the code can be unlocked The report said that it is not illegal to unlock the phone because the phone is the user's personal property. The report said that Cingular would not unlock the phone while the user is under contract but T-NMobile will do so after orning the phone for more than 90 days. Once the phone is unlocked, customers can purchase a SIM card that provide cheaper minutes and probably without a long-term contract. It is estimated that the user can witness a huge Rates continued on A-7 Kenneth Williams July 21. 2006 started another day of murders in Jacksonville when Martha Kirkley was sitting on the front porch of a northside home. and gunned down. Luckily for George Johnson and his family none of the bullets touched their seven-year-old daughter who was sleeping inches from where Kirkley was killed. Wimess advised JSO that Kenneth Williams, 22, saw Kirkley sitting on the porch and walked up to her and said, "You told on me." At that point, he pulled out a gun and shot her several times as he approached her up close. What is not clear is what Kirkley told on him. An investigation is being held to determine if the mur- der was because of retaliation or another type matter. What Arrested continued on A-7 Ch A- Sta e.A-5 Nation l.

Simpson First African American Inducted Into The Florida Press Hall Of Fame A Fresh Mayor in Newark with Fresh Ideas Marian Wright Edelman President and Founder of the Children's Defense Fund RON WILLIAMS, SR. NEWS EDITOR CHERYL COWARD DESIGN EDITOR BETTY ASQUE DAVIS COLUMNIST s this year's elec- tion season gets into full swing, voters across the country are thinking about the kinds of changes they'd like to see in their elected lead- ers. For voters in Newark, change has already come. In May, they overwhelmingly elected 37-year-old Cory Booker as their new mayor. Booker came close to winning the job four years ago but lost to longtime Mayor Sharpe James, running for his fifth term. Now, like Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, Mayor Booker is part of a new generation, of Black leaders who are bringing fresh ideas and attitudes to the local and national political scenes. Booker didn't grow up in Newark but in a more affluent, predomi- nantly White. New Jersey suburb. He first made a name for himself not by winning football games, not elections. He was a New Jersey Player of the Year, a high school All-American. and went on to play tight CLARA FRANCES McLAUGHLIN PUBLISHER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF end for Stanford University. He also stood out in the class- room. After earning his bachelor's and master's degrees at Stanford, he won a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in England where I first met him through my son Jonah, also a Rhodes Scholar. After Oxford he was accepted by Yale Law School. Some people have used Booker's impres- sive education and achievements against him. In his 2002 race against Mayor James, which turned extremely ugly, critics cited his privileged upbringing and elite credentials as some of the reasons he couldn't possibly relate to or represent Newark and "real" Black people. But Booker %\as always determined to prove, those kinds of naysayers wrong. A college friend later remembered that even as an undergradu- ate, Booker had a strong sense of mission: "He talked about the dispari- ty between the rich and a u 3m *1h .5 .a" 6 U 0 *~ ~ 0 0e 0O 0. 0 ~~. 0 0 0.O 0.e 0 * 0* * S S S 0 Ot (D = is (I) -a .5 02< -EtL C0V0 '0. rMI p-) (D~ .C -1 I. .=.

He had this great burden of wanting to give back and every step up the ladder of his career, I think his pur- pose intensified." Booker himself has credited his parents for always emphasizing the familiar proverb "from him to whom much is given, much is expect- ed." While he was a law student at Yale, he began commuting back and forth to Newark to serve as a legal advisor for a tenants' rights associa- tion, and soon became a full-time resident com- pletely immersed in community activism. He chose to live in a hous- ing project in one of the city's most disadvan- taged neighborhoods so he could get a fuller understanding of peo- ple's needs; and became convinced he could make a real difference in Newark. At age 29, he decided to run for the, city council and won,. edging out a 16-year' incumbent and 'making him the youngest coun- cil member in the city's history. As a council member, he spent time. living in a mobile home so he could easily move from block to block and be a literal presence on the street corner to address problems and help keep drug dealers and other negative influ- ences away. The bitter political battle of his first run for mayor was the subject of an Academy Award- nominated documentary, Street Fight. Supporters then had no doubt he'd be back and I'm glad he persisted. Now that he's won, new admirers are already talking about even higher office. For now, at least, Cory Booker is still focused on the same tasks that first pulled him to Newark back .in law school: helping to solve some of the city's per- sistent challenges, including crime, educat- ing our: children, and creating jobs. Youth development and chil- dren's needs have always.been among his top concerns. Many peo- ple have very high hopes for this bright new leader, and Mayor Cory Booker certainly has a track record of success.

Surrounded by the awesome African American history of the 'Ritz', it was ideal as friends and supporters welcomed Mrs. Connie Payton, the widow football legend perennial All-Pro and NFL Hall of Fame running back for the Chicago Bears, the late Walter Payton. And what a coup' for the local group! It was almost unimaginable when I received the invitation indicating that Mrs. Payton would be coming to the First Coast to serve as guest speaker for the event. Mrs. Payton lived up to the splendid'billing' that preceded her speech. She spoke from her heart as she told of her family's trials during her late husband's illness, his death and the reflections of her son Jarrett Payton who is now an NFL player in his own right. She challenged each of us to get out affairs in order and not be caught unpre- pared should death touch our lives unexpectedly. Community Hospice of Northeast Florida recognized five community leaders from the First Coast's African- American community. The Living Through Giving, A Celebration of Works & Deeds is a community based event supporting the African American community of Northeast Florida, and recognizing those members who, through their actions and accomplishments have enhanced the quality of life throughout the community. This year's honorees were: Dr. Floyd B. Willis, MD, Mayo Clinic Dr. Robert L. Brown, Sr., Health Care Award; Mrs. Sylvia Johnson, Principal Eugene Butler Middle School-Education Award; Rev. Mark L. Griffin,, Wayman Chapel African American Episcopal Church- Community Service Award; Eddie Walker-NAS Jacksonville-Business Award; and the late Coach Bernard Wilkes-Athletics Award. Additionally seven African-American students were presented scholarships in the areas of health care, liberal arts, higher education and the arts. The 2006 scholarships recipients were: Maurice Alexander-Edward Waters College; Andy Andre- University of North Florida: Erika Bolton- Douglas Anderson School of the Arts; Kimberly Johnson-, Florida Community College; Brittani Payton-University of North Florida; Krystal Stovall-Florida A. & M. University; and Kedra White- Florida Community college at Jacksonville. Each schol- arship if awarded for one year only. What a splendid group of young people! Mrs. Susan Ponder-Stansel, president and CEO of Community Hospice, and Judge Brian Davis presented the awards and scholarships. "This has been ah exciting and rewarding evening for Community Hospice. It was an opportunity to celebrate African- Americans who share our commitment to enhancing quality of life on the First Coast," stated Mrs. Ponder- Stansel. "And we are honored to help repay the generosi- ty of the community by helping thee seven outstanding stu- dents continue their education. "I'm proud to have been part of an effort in the commu- nity to help educate people about end-of-life care and to recognize people who are making positive contributions to our city," added Judge Davis. There weren't any of the usual plaque presentations for the honorees at this affair. Each of the Living Through Giving awards were individually designed and created by local potter Ms. Glendia Cooper. The creations reflected each winner's accomplishments. Ms. Cooper, the Duval county School Board Liaison at the Cummer Museum of Arts .& Gardens has exhibited her w ork throughout the country . The magnificent evening with friends was sponsored by Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville. ******** , Ninety-Nine And Still Going Strong Saturday afternoon was a very special day for Mrs. Pauline Brown. It was her 99th birthday and her family put on a glitzy feast for her at the St. Matthew AME Church Hall. Wearing a stunning tiara, surrounded by her family and dear friends, Mrs. Brown was regal. And it was a spirit filled event with singing, well wishes and a nostalgic movie of Mrs. Brown's blessed life. Happy Birthday and Many Blessings,. Mrs. Brown! You are truly loved and cherished!

After months of political attacks, Democratic' gubernatorial nominee Jim Davis is admitting he made a mistake when he voted in the state Legislature to deny compensation for two black men con- victed, and later cleared, in the killings of two white men. Davis scheduled a meeting with Freddie Pitts and Wilbert Lee to apologize to them for his 1990 vote, spokesman Josh Earnest said Tuesday. Pitts and Lee originally pleaded guilty to the 1963 killings of two gas station attendants, but then claimed they were beaten, threatened and interrogated for hours until they confessed to the crime in hopes of being spared the death, penalty. However, they were sentenced to be executed, and remained on death row for nine years.The case was eventu- ally. overturned, but they were again convicted by an all- white jury in a second trial as both maintained their inno- cence. Reports later surfaced that the prosecution had with- held evidence, and another man eventually admitted killing the station attendants. Pitts and Lee were pardoned in 1975 by then-Gov. Reubin Askew, who cited substantial doubt about their guilt andthe third man's confession.They were eventually award- ed $500,000 each by the Legislature in 1998. The 1990 vote to deny compensation dogged the Davis campaign throughout the Democratic gubernatorial primary race, as his opponent, state Sen. Rod Smith, accused him of failing to undo injustice. Davis had said he didn't have enough evidence at the time to approve the compensation, but he finally agreed to review the record again after repeat- ed attacks throughout his campaign. Democratic nominee for Florida governor Jim Davis, left, talks to the media Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2006 after say- ing he was wrong for not supporting Freddie Pitts, cen- ter, and Wilbert Lee, right, two men who were wrongly convicted and sent to prison. After months of political attacks, Davis is admitting he made a mistake when he voted in 1990 in the state Legislature to deny compensa- tion for the two men convicted, and later cleared, of killing two white gas station attendants. (AP Photo/J. Pat Carter) Girls Perform Better On Tests When Feuding Parents Divorce .GAINESVILLE, Fla. A clean break from a bad mar- riage is actually better for the couple's school-age daughters than a troubled union, a new Uni\ersity of Florida study finds. Contrary to the expectation that marriage is always good for children while divorce is bad, the study found that the schoolwork of girls whose parents split up is better than that of girls who live with a mom and dad who don't get along, said Mark Hoekstra. who did the research for his doctoral dissertation in economics at UF. "There is no question, as I and other researchers find, that boys and girls from tvvo-parent intact families perform better academically than boys and girls whose parents divorced," Hoekstra said. "But I was surprised to learn that girls %\hose parents divorced do better in school than girls from similar- ly troubled families whose parents went to the brink of divorce but remained married." In the study, girls between first- and 10th-grades whose parents divorced scored an average of slightly more than eight points higher on standardized reading and mathematics tests than girls whose parents filed for divorce but later requested the case be dismissed. These differences persisted four years after the divorce, he said. No academic differences were found for boys, although they did experience a short-term increase in disciplinary problems immediately after divorce that did not last beyond three years, said Hoekstra, who is now an economics profes- sor at the University of Pittsburgh. One possible reason girls in families with troubled mar- riages are more likely to experience academic problems is that they may be more adversely affected by conflict, he said. The opportunity for girls to have a closer relationship with their mothers when parents divorce may also explain their stronger academic performance. Hoekstra said. "Since in most cases mothers have primary custody, there may be a mother-daughter bond that forms as a result of a divorce that daughters respond to in a positive way compared to what would have happened if the parents had remained married," he said. The results have important implications for divorce reform initiatives that have gained popularity recently because of concerns about the effects of divorce on children, Hoekstra said. Since 1996 at least eight states have consid- ered legislation that would make it more difficult for parents to end their marriage by limiting grounds for divorce and requiring pre-divorce counseling, he said. "My research suggests that policy-makers ought to be less concerned with whether or not parents legally dissolve their marriages and more concerned with helping them over- come the types of problems that cause them to contemplate divorce in the first place," Hoekstra said. "Unless the inter- vention can resolve the issues that got the family to the point of considering divorce, it will result in considerably lower academic achievement for the daughters involved." Discipline is the issue with boys, Hoekstra said. "There has been some research suggesting that when boys lack a male role model in the home, which often happens after a divorce, they may be more affected than their sisters and act up, but my study shows that the effects are not permanent," he said. t $f is ea Comcast Digital Voice" Get Comcast Digital Voice for $33 a month for up to one year when you also subscribe to Comcast High-Speed Internet and Enhanced Cable. li en y ubcibe -E ,; 374ig-8000Inene ad Comcast Digital Voice Features: * Unlimited local and long-distance calling within the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico * 12 popular calling features, plus the ability to check your Voice Mail online * Satisfaction guarantee* - 374-88000 comcast.com @oMclast.

In selecting the companies, Family Digest's editors evaluat- ed more than 1,000 companies in the following areas: employee feedback, employee demographics, recruitment of African Americans, board makeup, company culture, advancement of African Americans, work-life programs and policies, and spending with Black-owned suppliers. A total of 50 companies were identified as worthy of recognition. Among these top 50, Denny's, New York Life, Morgan Stanley and Cingular were singled out for strong all- around performance. Also included on the list were Burrell Communications Group, UniWorld Group, and Carol H. Williams Advertising, three advertising agencies that spe- cialize in reaching the Black consumer market. "We love great companies. Great companies strive for a type of perfection that, while generally unattainable, allows them to improve year after year," says Family Digest Founder & Publisher Darryl L. Mobley. "It is in this spirit that we searched for, and found, the 50 great company's that made up Family Digest's 4th annual list. of the Best Companies for African AmericansTM. Family Digest was the first publication to focus on the unique question of whether or not companies were doing a sufficient job at employment, retention and promotion of African Americans, in an envi- ronment sane to the needs of working adults and their fami- lies." "Family Digest is the leading magazine addressing the interests of African American heads-of-household and their families," said Family Digest Editor-in-Chief Susan Benjamin. "We all know that professional success enables parents to provide for their families. Because of this, we were interested in each firm's work-family programs, flexi- ble-work policies, mentoring programs and the like." Family Digest also does not rank the companies selected. According to Darryl L. Mobley. "To rank these outstanding companies is to commit fraud by our judgment and to make losers of all we did not deem to be number one." The list of Family Digest Best Companies for African Americans"M for 2006 includes the following: S Abbott Laboratories Abbott Park, IL SAflac Inc.

MI Study Cites High Cancer Rates Amon4 Blacks CHARLESTON, S.C.. -- A study conducted by researchers from'. the' Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and University of South Carolina shows that the can- cer rate among blacks living in South Carolina is nearly twice as great as it is for whites in the state. The study released Sept. S 13 by the Journal of the South Carolina M medical SAssociation focuses on racial imbalances that exist in African American and European American cancer rates in South Carolina. while comparing cancer dis- parities between the two races nationally. South Carolina leads the: nation in cancer rates. The study found that in South Carolina:. African "American women are about 60 percent more likely than" white women to die from breast cancer after diagnosis, which is the largest dispari- ty in the country. ?' African American men are nearly 80 percent more likely to get prostate cancer and nearly three times more: likely to die of the disease' than white men. This is about 50 percent of the rate nationally. . Both African American men and women are more likely to have and die of col- orectal cancer than their white counterparts. *' African American women are much more like- ly to be diagnosed and die from cervical cancer; despite similar screening rates . MIeanwhile. programs including Health-e-AME and Brothers Against Prostrate Cancer, which is operated through barber. shops in South Carolina, are supported by MUSC. While some of the differences are related to socioeconomic factors that determine access to healthcare, "We are pretty much in the dark regarding many of the underlying causes,", said,James Hebert, Ph.D., an USC researcher and a journal contributor.

LOS ANGELES The tumultuous marriage of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown -- which withstood drug addiction, Brown's numerous arrests, the decline of Houston's once-sparkling image and domestic abuse allegations - - is coming to an end. A publicist for Houston confirmed to The Associated Press that the Grammy-win- ning, superstar ,singer had filed for divorce from her husband Bobby Brown, after 1-4 years of marriage. :Publicist Nancy Seltzer declined to reveal where or when Houston filed:-. the divorce papers, and said the singer had no statement to make. "I can just confirm that she has, filed for divorce," Seltzer said Wednesday. Houston and Brown, who had a home in Alpharetta, Ga., have one child together, a 13-year-old daughter. Bobbi Kristina. When Houston and Brown wed in,.1992, the match seemed to outsiders to be a mismatch. :Houston - - once one of the best-selling singers in history -- was a glamorous, pop superstar with a super-clean, princess- like persona. whereas Brown, who rose to fame as a member of the boy band New Edition before striking out on his own, was a some-. times coarse R&B singer with a more streetwise image. But as the years wore on, it would become hard to determine which one was "Time is on the side of the oppressed today,: it's against the oppressor. Truth is on the side :: of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. Y6u don't need anything else." Malcolm X ' . more troubled. Though Bobby Brown-- best known for hits like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step"-- would be arrested numerous times for drugs and' 'alcohol, Houston's own battles with substance abuse sullied her image. ; Together, the two were a tabloid editor's dream. When Brown was released from a stretch in jail a few years ago, an ecstatic Houston greeted him by jumping into his arms and throwing her arms and legs around him before a; throng of fans and. media. And in the no"\ infamous 2002 ABC interview with Diane Sawyer, an erratic- sounding and van-looking Houston, with a profusely sweating Brown by her side, admitted dabbling in drugs but denied using crack, then uttered the now famous phrase: "Crack is \wack." - W.

The ads were released as another avenue to reach the mayor and the city about the problems with the hope that the actions recommended by the Human Rights Commission be quickly acti- vated. "It is understood that the fire chief is leaving in eleven months, but if he has not taken the needed action to eliminate the problems in the three years he has served as the organization's leader, he certainly can't change the situation in eleven months" said Mr. Brommer. Presently, according to Brommer and Butler, memos are initiated without being read; workers get others to sign for them and attend seminars that are required and strict discipline is not in place. Without proper discipline, changes cannot be made. Without leadership changes, attitude changes will not be activated. "Jacksonville, it is time for a change," said Ms. Butler and Mr. Brommer, "and that is why the commercial was released."

The Depression Is Real Coalition seeks to educate Americans that depression is a serious, debilitating disease that can be fatal if left untreated and to provide hope for recovery to the nearly 19 million Americans who suffer from depression each year. The Depression Is Real public education campaign is sponsored by The American Psychiatric Foundation (a philanthropic and educational subsidiary of the American'.Psychiatric Association), the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the National Medical Association, the National Mental Health Association and the National Urban League and is made possible through the support of Wyeth.: "Our research shows that many Americans don't realize that depression is a bio- logically-'based disease --in )fact, a third of all Americans believe that mental ill- nesses like depression are caused by emotional or personal weaknesses, and almost that number think they are caused by old age alone," said Altha J. Stewart, MD. President of the American Psychiatric Foundation. "We believe we have a responsi- bility to tell the public the truth about depression -- one based on scientific evidence and clinical research. not made-up 'facts' or Wishful thinking." The Depression Is Real Coalition believes that those in the popular culture who label depression a "myth" and deny that medical or other treatments are necessary for recovery do real harm to depression sufferers. Indisputable scientific evidence shows depression to be a biologically-based disease that destroys the connections between brain cells and can affect every aspect of a person's health. Science and medical research have also proven that people can and do recover from depression through appropriate treatment. "Tri\ializing depression as a passing mood or, worse, an imaginary illness can discourage those who need treatment from seeking help," said Sue Bergeson, President of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. "That's not just counter- productive -- it's downright dangerous because depression is the principal cause of suicide worldwide, killing more people than homicides and terrorism combined." she said. "This campaign is critical because more education and awareness can help deter needless deaths and the years of suffering that precedes them." she added. Nation's Oldest African-American Newspaper To Launch Signature Ad Campaign PWILADELPHIA-- The Philadelphia Tribune, the nation's oldest African-American-controlled newspaper, today announced the launch of a comprehensive, new advertising campaign that will reaffirm the paper's primary editorial focus on issues that impact black readers. In so doing, the print, broadcast, out-of-home, and online campaign -- the most extensive ad campaign in the paper's history -- will emphasize the Tribune's 122-year legacy of black journalistic leadership, its extensive African- American readership, its unique black-focused political perspective, its positive coverage of black business issues, and its unique Web site content. The new campaign will be led by a series of print ads that will appear in the Tribune's own pages, and whose content will be converted for use in Web advertisements, bus-sides, and other out-of-home outlets. Each of the new print ad formats concludes with the tagline: "The Philadelphia Tribune ... only when you want the truth about issues in the African-American Community." Over coming weeks, the campaign will extend to local radio. Radio spots will continue the theme of the Tribune's special dedication to truthful, knowledgeable, fair and expansive coverage of local, national, and global black issues. According to the Tribune's publisher, Robert W. Bogle, the 2005 U.S. Census data make the demographics of Philadelphia, the Tribune's headquarters city, ideally situated for a newspaper with such a clear ethnic focus. "In all of the 122 years since the Philadelphia Tribune began to be published, this may be the very best year to have an African-American-focused news operation," said Bogle. "All told, our paper reaches more African- American households on a weekly basis than any other newspaper in the region." "The most recent census," added Bogle, "tells us that Philadelphia's population is now 45 per- cent comprised of African Americans, 40 percent non- Hispanic whites, 10 percent Hispanics and about 5 percent Asians. Clearly, African Americans constitute the single largest population segment in our city and no other local news source in the entire region carries more information about that community than the Tribune. The reason for the new ad campaign is to remind the people in the Philadelphia area that this happens to be the case, and that We are prepared to be the primary news source for the City's new majority." The new campaign was recently introduced to the Tribune's staff at a noon- time reception that celebrated the fact that the paper had just won nine major awards at the annual convention of the National. Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), the trade association for the 205 audited, African- American-focused newspapers in the U.S. In six of the last ten years, at that same conven- tion, the Tribune has been named the nation's best black newspaper. Established in 1884 by Christopher J. Perry, and currently led by its publisher, Robert W. Bogle, The Philadelphia Tribune is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The paper is published every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, along with the Tribune Magazine, which is published on the first Sunday of every month, and, Sojourner, the quarterly published visitor's guide. With a staff of 130 full and part-time employees, The Philadelphia Tribune is the nation's oldest and the Greater Philadelphia region's largest daily news publicanon serving the African- American community. ICE COLD continued from A-1 homes, or outside of Jacksonville? It was determined that the items were being resold. Some of the units were sold to the original owners. There were 1,022 reports filed for grand theft and business burglaries for con- struction sites. The approximate value of the merchandise stolen was $3.5 million. The rate of the burglaries was about two per day. Arrested in this bust were Matthew Elmendorf, Willie Flynn, Bobby Kennedy. George Moran. Vaughn Reed. Willie Sing, Timothy Smothers. Lindsey Weston, Daniel Williams. Edward Laron Williams and David Wolf. Still at large is Antonio Lewis. The operation is continuing not just because of the thieves but also because of the buyers of the air conditioning units and appliances. JSO advised that those who purchased the merchandise knowing that the items were stolen are also part of the criminal acts and will be apprehended. YOU CAN NEVER GET TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE.

Jay-Z, who declared that 2003's "The Black Album" would be his last, is coming out retirement and releasing a new CD. Kingdom Come" will hit stores this fall, Entertainment Weekly magazine reports in its new issue, due on newsstands Monday. "It was the worst retirement in history," Jay told the magazine. Actually, his post-retirement career looked pretty good. In 2004, the rap icon (real name: Shawn Carter) became president and CEO of Def Jam'Recordings. He became part owner of the New Jersey Nets that same year. Also on his resume: Not-So-Secret Boyfriend of Beyonce. Despite naysayers' doubts, the 36-year-old Jay-Z thought he was retired from music-making: "I believed it, yeah. I believed it for two years" But since his "retirement," he's gone on a world tour, performed on hit records with Beyonce and other entertainers, and had a profile higher than most working rappers. There were rumblings that he was working on a new album. And in an interview with The Associated Press this summer, She said he \was thinking about coming out of retirement. He told Entertainment Weekly that he began tinkering in the studio over the summer. "Something, when you love it, is always tugging at you and itching, and I was putting it off and putting it off. I started fumbling around to see if it felt good," he said. The result: "Kingdom Come." The disc is "more in the vein of'The Black Album' than 'The Blueprint.'" he tells the magazine. "I've been experimenting with things, different types of music " He's already recruited some A-list producer-collaborators: Timbaland, Kanye West and Dr. Dre. Even Coldplay fronrman Chris Martin produced a track called "Beach Chair," he said. So --for real no\\ -- when does he plan to retire? "If I wake up one day and the best material has passed me by and that's going to happen," he said, "then it's time to move on. I've said what I wanted to say." Strictly Business: American Southwest Music Distribution's Wine-O Delivers the Goods Thursday September 14, 9:00 a.m. ET Jay.z LOS ANGELES--(American Southwest Music Distribution artist Wine-O has completed filming a new music video for his smash hit single "Pop My Trunk." His forthcoming 20-track album, "Hate Me," is to be released by American through Universal Music's distribution channels on October 31, 2006. The artist wrote, produced or co-produced all the tracks on the album which propelled the single atop the Billboard Top 100 R&B charts for 19 consecutive weeks. S"Before in my music, I gave ways out of a bad lifestyle. But on this album, I rap about what I've seen, how I've lived, and my life as a whole," remarks Wine-O about his upcoming album. *i The video's theme compares the life of a rap star to the perks of being an ancient Greek prince in the times of Troy. As American's CEO David Michery describes, "We are very happy with. the video. We believe this video will attract a lot of attention from the stunning visual artistry in the opening scenes to 1 the gritty, hardcore-rap throughout. This video should propel both Wine-O and American onto the nation- -7.- ._al urban/hip-hop stage." N". aHouston based artist Wine-O, formerly Nu Wine, has been a fixture on the music scene in Texas for over _i*:il a decade. Straight from the streets of the 5th ward in Houston and with 12 albums under his belt, Wine-O is currently on tour as well as producing a track for R&B sensation LeToya Luckett. The musician also completed a project in collaboration with legendary rapper, writer and producer Scarface and platinum Recording artist Slim Thug earlier this year.

Robi Reed's Super Star BBQ Bash, Photos 2006 by Andre' B. Murray/www.bernagency.photoreflect.com Caps The Summer THEA By Rych McCain She is well known throughout the TV and Film industry as one of Hollywood's top black Casting Directors. In reality, she is one of Hollywood's top cast- ing directors period! We are talking about Robi Reed. This attractive, Delta Sigma Theta soror and Hampton University alumnus also has built an impressive track record as an actress, producer and creative consultant. Over the past four years, Reed has hosted an end of the summer bar-b-cue. This year's event was a fund raiser to benefit The Black Aids Institute. Without question, Reed's affair was the "creme de la cr6me." When she calls, every- body responds! The list of stars from the enter- tainment/sports and the civic/political worlds is much too long to call names. Let it suffice to say that all of the major players were there. The crowd on the grounds of Reed's spacious home was shoulder to, shoulder at round 2500 guests. The complete menu of food and drink never ran out the entire night. DJ -Nice was "off the hook" rocking the- revelers from the booth, and the Latino Band "DW3," put ion a smoking' live show that kept the dance area jumping. The sponsors included Tanqueray and Crown Royal spirits and our own "Sweetie Pie of Publicity," Lisa Sorensen of LS-PR (a black firm) and her able assistant Joseph Babineaux, both of whom expeditiously and professionally han- dled the event's public relations. When asked to reflect on such an electric night, Reed responded, "Initially, I started this party exactly four years ago to bring people together. It was a trans- formation for me in my life personally and pro- fessionally. I wanted an opportunity to have a good time with my friends, who I haven't seen in a long time and that concept has just grown into this now event, where we have brought on the Black AIDSltnstitute to benefit as a charity and an annu- al festivity where folks can get together and enjoy life! Reed is adamant in her fight against the AIDS epi- demic. She turns serious when she adds, "In addi- tion to having fun tonight, it is real life that we are dealing with and AIDS awareness is essential in our commu- nity. I don't know if it is ignorance or denial but it is really key that we get tested, get treated, get information and get really active."

In actuality; Muldowney is White and was the first femal NHRA drag racer. Lyons is the "first" Black female drag racer. Hope you enjoyed reading about this history making sista because she is fine, bad and the real deal. Superstardom for her is imminent! TV:.

Starring ,Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, Hilarly Swank, Aaron Eckhart and Mia Kirshner. Directed by Brian DePalmer. Produced by Debra Grieco Bergman, Danny Dimbort and Trevor Short. This film evolves around the. true gruesome murder of actress Betty Ann Short in Los Angeles in 1947. The murder has never been solved. The movie version is not what actually happened in real life and can be confusing in parts. The two cops assigned to the case i.e., Bucky Bleichert (Hartnett) and Lee Blanchard (Eckhart) take the viewers through a never ending maze of "what-else-can-go-wrong." Bucky gets hung. up between his partner's woman Kay (Johansson) and one of the murder sus- pects Madeleine (Swank). Of course he bed hops with both while trying to fit all of the odd shaped pieces together. This film has a weird feel at a hard to fol- low pace. Some scenes are grizzly and the action is very limited. If this film were a TV movie, you might change the channel halfway through.

To celebrate her 60th Birthday, Roslyn Burrough, who is known to hundreds of children and their parents, as Auntie Roz, pulled off another of her fabulous events. Her yard was transformed into a Paris Caf6' equipped with live entertainment and the best food this side of the St. Johns. Roslyn's expansive and beautiful backyard was a perfect- ly lovely outdoor setting for this One of a Kind Birthday Bash. Roslyn has a special talent for involving others in her imaginative ideas and creations. This time, even Mother Nature gave in to her wishes by providing a beautiful sum- mer evening, under a canopy of stately trees. There were some one hundred gatherers, chefs, diners,' hosts, hostesses and helpers, none of whom had ever been invited to share in such an experience. Tw\elve local chefs were invited to come and prepare one or more of their culinary specialties for sampling by special guests. Among the delicious offerings was Jollof Rice, Soul Food Medley. BBQ Ribs and Chicken, Grilled Chicken Breasts and w ings. Roslyn's own Crab Casserole. Walter Mattingly of Mardi Gras Grill who prepared 'Jambalaya Grits', expressed his delight at being invited, and looks forward to coming back again. "Michael and I were so happy to table hop all around Roz's lawn. We started the evening with Chef Israel Kite who set the table with beautiful blue and white porcelain place settings. We had silverware and crystal goblets with blue stemware. We ate as though it was our last supper The main entrees were Chicken Marbella with succulent dried plums and crab casserole, ginger green beans, carrot souffle like I've never had it before, rice pilaf, monkey bread and topped off with a Million Dollar Pound Cake," said Marsha Dean Phelps. It was an epicurean feast at that table and everywhere we looked. Schoolmates from as far back as the 1950s stopped by to sample his wares and chat with guests. Guest, who were already full, waddled over to Chefs Ron and Barbara Breaker's table. . Phelps said the Breakers served a Low Country Boil and they know how to meld the succulent flavors of delicate crustaceans ith corn and potatoes and sausages, etc. " "It was just perfect. This was dished up in large individ- ual aluminum serving pans. I should be ashamed to admit that we stopped by Chef Dee Shaw's Children's Station where we sampled the macaroni and cheese, honey barbe- cued chicken wings, cornbread and potato salad, but we did. By the time we recognized Chef Mattingly's Mardi Gras Grill Station and the eight other stops we were too pooped and ready to pop," added Phelps who writes for The Florida Star. NModels presented designs by Brenda Brunson Bey of New York City. As a finale, a jazz number from Auntie Roz honored us. A Silent Auction was held t6 raise monies for theAuntie Roz Youth Production Company. Beautiful art work, hand beaded necklace and hand painted African mate- rial was some of the items available. Hostesses included young people that have worked with Auntie Roz in her "Peanut Show" and other various projects. "Roz knows how to throw a party, art, live music, dancers, models, designers, just everything for a stellar night with friends for life. God's magic wand show's through Roz's spirit,' said Phelps. ob cry,7 I'77,,f Howard Johnson Inn and Suites JACKSONVILLE, FL Planning a family reunion?

Dear Deanna I'm a Christian and I thought I was happily married. I think my husband may be having an affair with my cousin. He hasn't displayed any signs of cheating nor has his behavior changed. I looked at his cell phone bill and see that he's been calling my cousin on a more than regular basis. It pushed me over the edge when I came home late one night :; and found him at my cousin's house eating pizza and watching movies. Is there something going on or am I insecure? Worried Christian Natchez, MS Dear Worried: It's amazing that as a Christian you have the Word, but run when the world slaps you with a test of faith. Your husband doesn't need to call your cousin or any woman unless it's business. He should also be home late at night. Yes something is going on if you didn't know where he was and found him at your cousin's house. Share your concerns and suspicions with your husband, suggest a few rules concern- ing your cousin and keep it moving. Dear Deanna! I am over 40 and look very good for my age. I date younger men, love younger men and prefer intimacy with younger men. My daughter who is 20 years old is jealous of me and at times, we've competed for the same love interests. She's not speaking to.me now because her boyfriend left her and now he wants to date me, My daughter is important but she can't control my love life. Should I just let this young man go to make her happy or keep him? Good Looking Mom Los Angeles, CA Dear Good Looking: You may look good for your age, but there's nothing cute about scooping up your daughter's leftovers. She's right to be upset and no man should make you this fool- ish to not understand her feelings. You've obviously mistaken her embarrassment forjealousy. You need to grow up and be the parent in this relationship and put your daughter's concerns before any man. In other words, don't be nasty going behind your daughter and you need to choose her instead of her boyfriend. Dear Deanna! I want to have a baby but my boyfriend is against it. He wants to wait until we get married but he has no plans to propose soon. He has threatened that he will leave me if I trick him and come up pregnant. My clock is ticking and I want a baby before I get too old. I don't understand what the problem is and I am willing to end this relationship if things don't change soon. How do I express the seriousness of this baby issue with my boyfriend?' Tanisha Jacksonville, FL Dear Tanisha: Your relationship is missing the word marriage, your boyfriend doesn't have the title of husband and going ahead with your baby plan equals ignorance. Your boyfriend should realize he can't be tricked into pregnancy if he protects himself especially if your little clock is ticking. If he hasn't proposed on his own will, preg- nancy won't change his intent or urgency. Face it, he's not interested in a baby or marriage right now and you can either love it or leave it.

VETERANS AND HEALTH CARE By Congresswoman Corrine Brown Health disparities affect all African-Americans, and the lack of studies focused on African Americans causes a lack of understanding of how illnesses affect minorities. Additionally, veterans are further denied help because the Department of Defense will use national security to deny information that might help save lives for those exposed. to chemicals that might not have any affect on the human body years or decades down the road. One example of this is Agent Orange. Between 1962 and 1971 In fact, the U.S. Air Force sprayed approximately 107 million pounds of herbicides in South Vietnam for the purpose of defoliation and crop destruction. Initially, the Department of Defense (DOD) maintained that only a limited number of U.S. military personnel, such as those operating aircraft or troops engaged in herbicide spraying, could be positively linked to Agent Orange exposure. However, in 1979, the GAO report- ed that ground troops had also been exposed to Agent Orange, and the DOD was forced to reconsider its prior statements. Prior to 1981, veterans who complained of Agent Orange-related illnesses were at the low- est priority for treatment at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities because these conditions were not considered "service-connected." The 1981 Veterans' Health Care, Training and Small Business Loan Act elevated Vietnam veterans' priority status for health care at VA facilities by recognizing a veteran's own report of exposure as sufficient proof to receive medical care unless there was evidence to the contrary. It is this policy that began to transform the VA into the receptive medical treatment facility it is evolving into today. When doctors start listening to patients and understanding that cures do not;come from Washington but from people working in the trenches, we can begin to reduce the disparities evident to both minorities and veterans.

Called Avoice, or African- American Voices in Congress, www.avoiceonline.org, is the product of a collaborative partnership among-CBCF, The University of Texas at Austin, Howard University and Dell. The online educational portal provides a central source of information about historical and contemporary African-American policy issues important to many Americans, and of particular interest to researchers, educators and students. "Avoice represents the official history of the Congressional Black Caucus and much more," said U.S. Rep. Kendrick B. Meek (D-Fla.), chair of the CBCF. "We believe that Avoice will promote civic engagement among youth through its rich content and interactive learning tools. In doing so, the Avoice site will benefit all. Americans." "Dell's sponsorship of this milestone project reflects our commitment to diversity and it is a unique opportunity to help educate the public about the contributions of African-Americans to our nation's history," said Dell CEO Kevin Rollins, who introduced the new site during the event. "We are privileged to be a part ofAvoice and will continue to support it with technology that can enrich the site content." Avoice offers a unique collection of original Congressional and political papers from African-American legislators. Initial content also includes exhibits on the Voting Rights Act, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday Bill, the anti-apartheid movement and a history of the Congressional Black Caucus. The CBCF's Annual Legislative Conference provides a national forum to develop strategies and solutions to public policy issues facing Black America. "It is most appropriate that we launch Avoice during this conference," said U.S. Rep. Kendrick B. Meek. "Our conference theme this year is 'Changing Course, Confronting Crises, Continuing the Legacy.' Avoice's historical content will certainly help advance our shared goal of continuing the legacy." Today, African-Americans represent 13.4 per- cent of the U.S. population; 60 percent of black citizens age 18 and older voted in the 2004 presidential election, up three percent from the previous election.

Black 9/11 Survivor Authors New Book - Between Heaven and Ground Zero As a survivor who escaped the crumbling Twin Towers on 9/11, Leslie Haskin bravely relives the events of that horrible day to share her amazing story of hope and healing. SAuthor Leslie Haskini DallaslFort Worth, TX (BlackNews.com) As someone who was working in the World Trade Center's Tower One on the morning of September 11, 2001, Leslie Haskin will never forget the soul-searing images she witnessed or the horror she and so many others endured during her long, panic-driven odyssey toward escape on that black day. In Between Heaven and Ground Zero (Bethany House Publishers, August 2006), she shares what really happened to those who struggled to find their way out of the quickly closing doors of the tomb that was the doomed North Tower. With courageous, laid-bare vulnerability and painfully honest openness, Leslie reveals the details of her meteoric rise up the corporate ladder from a small brokerage firm in New York to become one of only two African American operations directors for one of the largest insurance companies in the country. Her love of the corporate life, the jet set, the bright lights of New York and all the glamour of the Big Apple was bolstered by the perks, prestige and power that her titles and corner office in Tower One of the World Trade Center afforded. Everything was going her way-until it all came crashing down around her on 9/11. Between Heaven and Ground Zero discloses the harrowing details of Leslie's long jour- ney toward freedom after the plane hit her building. Down flight after flight of stairs in an almost mindless effort to reach some kind of safety, she struggled through the stench of pouring-down jet fuel and chemicals, rusted metal and raging fires, past a decapitated man and dozens of other dead and dying victims of the attack. In the midst of the bloody, horrible carnage, she found herself calling out to God, a childhood friend long ago forgot- ten amid the pride of her new life. He heard her and delivered her from the collapsing inferno. Suffering from severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Leslie eventually lost her home, her career and her life savings. But with faith and medical help, she has emerged from the symptoms of her illness to shine as a remarkable testimony to the enduring legacy of hope. Between Heaven and Ground Zero is an unforgettable tale, steeped not in sorrow, but in the overwhelming power of the human spirit to emerge victorious from even the, most devastating tragedy. BOOK EXCERPT:- "There was a woman, burned to the bone...I could actually see the, ivory marrow. We tried not to stare, but as she passed down the stairwell, tears rolled and mouths fell open. The burned woman trembled uncontrollably. What was left of her flesh looked like it had been boiled and it was actually slipping off her body, just hanging there, loose. In total shock, her arms were stiff and stretched out in front of her as if she were imitating a sleepwalker and she never looked at a soul." - Between Heaven and Ground Zero by Leslie Haskin www.bethanyhouse.com ' Advertising Deadline: TUESDAY @ 5 p.m. To place an ad: CAIl: (904) 766-8834 :-r *'i ua m.... .

"I was hoping he wouldn't even score a touchdown," said Taylor, who also had a 3-yard TD run with 3:13 to play. : Terell Owens made his presence felt.He finished with six receptions for 80 yards and a score, but the Jaguars held him without a catch through much of the second half. Still. Owens keyed all three of Dallas' scoring drives, including a 21-yard TD reception with- 1:54 to play that cut the lead the 24-17. Jackson\ille recovered the onside kick and was forced to punt. The Cowboys got the ball back with 51 seconds to play. but Dre\ Bledsoe's third-down.pass was intercepted by linebacker Mike Peterson. It was Bledsoe's third interception of the game and gave the Jaguars their ninth opening-day win in 12 sea- sons. SThe Jaguars adjusted to the Cowboys' offensive game plan and and held Owens -to just two catches in the second half while putting constant pressure on Bledsoe, who threw two. interceptions in the fourth quarter. "He was not about to run out there on my Jaguar," defensive tackle John Henderson said, referring to Owens' famed pose on the Dallas star when he played with San Francisco. SJags DE Reggie Haw \ard tore his left Achilles' ten- don and das lost for the season. ... The Jags looked like they had little trouble replacing five-time Pro Bowl receiver Jinmm Smith. Matt Jones caught five passes for 71 yards. Reggie Williams had six receptions for 47 yards. Ernest Wilford caught three passes for 58 yards. Dallas had nine penalties for 93 yards. Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Reggie Hayward suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon in his team's season-opening victory and will miss the remainder of the season. The Jaguars host defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh.in a Minday Night game on September 18 in Jacksonville. "I'm looking forward to it," Jags cornerback Rashean Mathis said. "It's my first game on Monday night. I can't wait. I don't know if I can get any more excited about playing, but it will be cool to play with, everybody watching." added Mathis whose second- quarter interception turned the momentum in the game, as it led to a Jaguars touchdo\ n just before the half.

Harris said the women tned to get Doss to admit things he did as a child."She claims the brother wronged her years ago when they were kids and she just got the truth out of him and apparently wanted revenge." said Harris.

"The door was never locked and he could have walked out that door any tune he wanted to." the sister told the News- Courer of Athens. "We never held him against his will." Hams said Richie did not have a weapon but is accused of blocking the door to keep Doss from fleeing. Doss said he escaped the house about I a.m. Tuesday.

A thief with a taste for pork put a damper on a findraiser for scholarships by making off with near- ly 350 pounds of porkburgers and hot dogs. police said. Cromwell Town Marshal Rich Snyder said the 300 pounds of porkburgers and 48 pounds of hot dogs were taken either late Saturday or early Sunday from the Cromwell Community Center's walk-in freezer in the town about 35 miles northwest of Fort Way-ne. The theft was discovered Sunday morning when members of the Cromwell-Kimmell Lions Club went to pick up the meat. The group had planned to sell porkburgers and hot dogs Sunday at the Stone's Trace festival to raise money for scholarships for West Noble High School students. : SSnyder said Monday that an investigation is under way into the burglary but that there w ere no suspects yet in the heist. Lions Club members were able to borrow some porkburgers from theLigonier Lions and operated their festival food stand on Sunday. after a successful day on Saturday. But a club member said the stolen meat will have a negative impact on the amount of money raised for the scholarship fund during the two-day festival.

No Hassles! >* Raccoon Forces Student To Miss Homework LARGO, Fla. Stephanie King had to tell her music teacher that a raccoon was to blame for her missing homework. "I explained that the raccoon fell from the ceiling in my bathroom and it ran into my bedroom," the 13-year-old seventh grader at Osceola Middle School told the St. Petersburg Times. "Animal control came out to get it and they couldn't catch it and they said we couldn't go in my room." Stephanie's grandmother vouched for her story Friday with school officials. "I told them she can't get her homework, her books, because everything is locked in the bedroom," Natalie King said. The female raccoon and its babies crashed to the Kings' bath- room floor Wednesday night. Until that moment, the family did- n't know the roof was leaking, much less that a family of rac- coons was living in their ceiling. The mother raccoon escaped into Stephanie's room. It finally made its way Thursday night into the trap set by Pinellas County Animal Seivices officers, who picked up the critter the next morning.
