Martin Anderson began
boot camp on January 5,
2006. While running as a
part of a physical assess-
ment, he fell to the ground.
For a period of over twenty
minutes, drill instructors
from the boot camp applied
various uses of force on
Anderson. When Anderson
became unresponsive, para-
medics were called to the
scene. Anderson was trans-
ported for treatment and was
pronounced dead the follow-
ing morning.

accused or microwasing her
baby.

China Arnold \was arrest-
ed for allegedly murdering
her month-old daughter by
placing her in a micro\\ave.
When the infant original-
ly died on August 30. 2005.
Arnold was arrested but
released and a thorough
in estigation \%as activated.
The Dayton. Ohio police
said the cause of death was,
difficult to determine
because of a lack of research
on the effect of micro\ a\es


on people. Now, "we have
reason to believe, and we
have some 'forensic evidence
that is consistent with our
belief, that a microwave oven
was used in this death, said
Ken Betz, director of the
Nlontgomer County, Ohio
coroner's office. He said the
evidence includedl high-heat
internal injuries and the
absence of external burn
marks on the baby, Paris
Talle\.
The death was ruled a
homicide caused by hyper-
thermia, or high body tem-
perature. The lack of exter-
nal burs ruled out an open
fame. Her bond was set at $1
million.
A Virginia mother was sen-
tenced to five years for
microwaving her baby. She
claims she doesn't remember
placing her baby in the oven
because she suffers from
epilepsy with seizures fol-
lowed by blackouts.


Sean Bell, 23 and Nicole
Paultre were to be mar-
ried on the day he was
killed by New York Police.

Sean Bell and two of his
friends were celebrating his
last day as a bachelor on the
night before his wedding.
When he saw trouble brew-
ing at the Kalua Club in
Queens, a New York Daily
writer said he stated, "Let's
be out. I'm getting married.
I don't need this."
Bell and his friends left the
club about 4 a.m. last
Saturday and were. soon in
the midst of a hail of bullets
- fifty in all, from the guns of
five New York police offi-
cers.


Bell was killed and no one
in the car was armed.
Now, NYPD is claiming
they have found a man sus-
pected of fleeing with a gun
after police shot and killed
the groom hours before his
%wedding. .They say that
clues gathered during a raid
of a Queens home suggested
that Jean Nelson, 27, was
with the three unarmed men
moments before they fired
their 50 rounds at Bell's car,
but ran away. The first offi-
Scer that fired at Bell and his
friends claimed there was a
fourth man, although the
wounded men, Trent
Benefield and Joseph
Guzmen, contend there was
no fourth man with them.
The city of New York and
all black America are upset
with the recent killings by
police, including the murder
last week in Atlanta of a 92-
year-old lady though most of
the shootings have involved
black men.

Is The War Coming To An End?
Gl nnPeace, a Bruns\\ick, Georgia group
working to end the U. S. occupation of Iraq and
bring U.S. troops home may soon get their desire.
The Bush administration is re-exaluating its
efforts to unite Iraq's fractious sectarian political factions in
an attempt to preserve U.S. options, said some officials
familiar %\ ith an internal administration review.
Some U.S..,officials have argued that the outreach to
Sunni dissidents has failed and ma\ be alienating Shiites,
who dominate .the government and are the country's largest
sect.
GlynnPeace hand-quilted a quilt that is presently on dis-
play at Glynn-Brunswick Library. It will be raffled on

Founded In April 1951 By Eric O. Simpson
First African American Inducted Into
The Florida Press Hall OfFame


Like most of the folks
that I know, the day after
Election Day, I was excited.
I was excited because the
Republicans generally, and
President Bush in particular,
had their collective noses
rubbed in the mud (I was
going to use another
imagery but I am being
polite.) The anger and frus-
tration that millions of peo-
ple have had with the Iraq
war, the attacks on civil lib-
erties, the corruption, the
mean-spirited government,
the cuts in services and the
polarization of wealth just
added up. And, oh, by the
way, a side benefit of our
outrage: Rumsfield is gone.
Now that we have that
out of our systems, we need
to turn our attention to the
Democrats. Frankly, they
were lucky. There is no
other way to put it. They
won despite the fact that
they had no clear message
regarding the war or any-
thing else. They tapped into
the anger and frustration
with the Republicans 'and
were beneficiaries, of that,
but they .were not leading
anything.
So, the point is that,
Black America, and all oth-
ers that share our desire for
social, economic, political
and environmental justice
cannot sit back and hope
that the Democrats do the


right thing. They lack a
clear alternative plan. If his-
tory is any judge, without
pressure, the Democrats
will cave in to, if not active-
ly support, the general
direction of the
Republicans.
Consider for a moment
the ,Iraq war. Increasing
numbers of people in the
U.S.A. recognize that not
only is the Iraq war a no-
win proposition but that it
was wrong in the first place.
Thus, there must be an
approach that is fundamen-
tally about removing all
U.S. troops (including
bases) and offering repara-
tions to the Iraqi people for
the horrible damage that the
U.S.A. illegally inflicted
upon them. This must be the
stand that our political lead-
ers take, but too many are
ready to offer compromises
in the name of bi-partisan-
ship, particularly, offering a
lack of specifics in terms of
how quickly the U.S. will
pull out and what it will
actually do to assist the
Iraqi people.
There is no point in wait-/
ing for the Democrats to
come up with a plan on
Iraq, or any other signifi-
cant area. Rather, people
like \ou and me need to
place demands on the
Democrats and insist on a
change of course for this

country. In that regard, we
must learn a valuable and
painful lesson from the Bill
Clinton era.
When President Clinton
was elected there was a sigh
of relief that spread across
this country, much like the
sigh that many of us
heard-or experienced-on
November 8th after the
Republican defeat. Having
suffered under 12 years of
the Reagan/Bush adminis-
tration, it felt great to have,
what appeared to be a dif-
ferent direction for the
country. At that point, one
movement after another de-
mobilized. It was amazing
to watch it happen. Clinton
was able to get a pass from
organized labor as well as
the African-American
movement and the women's
movement. When he sup-
ported the North American
Free Trade Agreement'
(NAFTA), there was resist-
ance, but his actions were
forgotten.. When he abol-
ished welfare, there were
murmurings of discontent,
but little public outcry from
the mainstream leaders. of
liberal and progressive
America. When he
advanced his anti-terrorism
act, there was little concern
about the arbitrariness of
the provision. When he
attacked .Yugoslavia, too
many of us accepted that
this was an alleged humani-
tarian action. Movement
after movement was pre-
pared to stick an apple in its

own mouth because any
other action would embar-
rass "...our friend..." in the
White House and give
ammunition to the
Republicans.
The results of this de-
mobilization could be seen
in the Republican victory in
the 1994 midterm
Congressional elections and
their Contract with
America. It could be seen in
the declining number of
Democrats elected to office
during the Clinton era. And
it could be seen in the con-
ditions being laid for the
assumption of office, by
George W. Bush. In other
words, people of conscience
- gained absolutely nothing.
If we learn from that
Experience then we can go
forward. If, however, we sit
back and wait for the
Democrats to do the right
thing, we are living in a
fool's paradise. Remember
the old saying "Trick me
once, shame on you. Trick
me twice, shame on me,"
No time for shame, but
definitely time to struggle._
While the door is open, let's
Keep pushing.

When your journey on
earth was over and it was
time to say goodbye, we
never got a chance to.
Little did we know that God
was going to call you home.
It was hard to go on, but
we wiped our weeping eyes
and kept you in our hearts.
In life we loved you dear-

of the Du\al County finalists. They teach a num-
ber of subjects at elementary. middle and senior
high schools. Together they represent an aggre-
gate 4000 years of excellence in the teaching pro-
fession. We talked with teachers as Mrs. Shirley
Thomas Cowan a fifth grade Mathematics and
Science teacher at Carter G. Woodson School.
Mrs. Cowan enthusiastically teaches students the
Mathematics they will need to be competitive
globally and that will allow them to function with
competence in their everyday lives. Mrs. Cowan
stated. "In the past students were introduced to
fractions, percentages and decimals in separate
Lunits. Today students learn these concepts at one
time in order for them to see the relationships of
numbers." Mrs. Cowan an experienced educator
also taught the Teaching Process Course for the
University of North Florida. And while working
at Florida Community College at Jacksonville she
found the greatest need of students to be in
Mathematics and she then decided to make a
career change and began working with elementary
school children.
And then there is Mrs. Viola Murray teaches
sixth, seventh and eighth grade Math and Science
in the Exceptional Student Education Program
Math at Landon Middle School. Mrs. Murray
was surprised and honored when her colleagues
selected her as Teacher of the Year. She former-
ly taught in the GED program when her husband
was stationed in Hawaii and was also a charter
school teacher at the Daniel Payne Academy.
How wonderful it is that teachers who give so
much for our children had an opportunity to be
recognized.

MURDER/SUICIDE OF FAMU'S STUDENT NEWS EDITOR


A vigil was held by the eternal fame monument on 'FAMU's
campus. A celebratory ceremony was held after the vigil where
students referred to Williams as "Our Nubian Queen."

Black College Wire


Twenty white balloons representing 20 years of life -
were released above an eternal flame as hundreds of Florida
A&M Uni\ersity students, faculty. staff and friends mourned
the death ofNefertiti Nicole Williams.
A junior public relations student from Bradenron. Fla.,
Williams served as the ne\\s editor for the FAMNU student


newspaper, and as a member of FACES Modeling Troupe,
Inc., the FAMU Chapters of the Public Relations Student
Society of America, the National Association of Black
Journalists and Women Devoted to Change.
Leon County Sheriffs Department officials said Williams
was the victim of an apparent murder-suicide. Maj. Mike
Wood said Williams' friends found her body in her home on
Thanksgiving. She was shot and killed by high school friend
and roommate Shundavian Brooks, who later shot and killed
himself, they said.
IN "VOICES" Nefertiti Reaffirmed My Calling as a
Teacher
The staff of the Famuan, the student newspaper, placed a
lighted candle and angel figurine at Williams' newsroom
desk. Williams' deputy news editor, Nicole Bardo-Colon,
said the staff wanted to keep Williams' memory alive.
"We're going to keep it burning as long as possible,"
Bardo-Colon said during the Nov. 28 ceremony. "And of
course, she's an angel."
Bardo-Colon said Williams' intense drive inspired the
staff.
"You couldn't help but feel driven around her," Bardo-
Colon said. "She brought other people up with her.".
The staff appreciated Williams' sense of humor.
"She was always making everybody laugh," Bardo-
Colon said. "She made all of our lives better."
Sidney Wright IV, the Famuan's editor in chief, said he
first noticed Williams after an article she wrote during the
spring elections.
"As a journalist, she was amazing," Wright said. "She
was an excellent writer. An excellent editor."

As news editor, Williams covered the controversial
FAMU Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. hazing case, in
which five men are accused of beating Marcus Jones during
a series of fraternity initiation sessions, and student protests
of the death of 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson after rough-
ing-up by guards at a juvenile boot camp. The incident
prompted a shake-up in florida's criminal justice s_ stem.
During the memorial service, Phillip Agnew, student
body president, said W\illiams \\as respected on campus as a
journalist.
"She was grace. She \\as beauty. But most of all she was
a hard-nosed reporter," he said
Wnght said the new paper staff % as stri\ ing to live up to
her legacy.


"We owe it to her to
keep going," he said. "I
think that philosophy alone
has given us strength to
honor her by being the "
Famuan that we've always
been."
Wright also said the
staff appreciated Williams' .
outspoken personality.
"She was refreshingly -
genuine, honest, an overall -
great person, and that was '
enough to make you fall in love with her," Wright said.
Valerie White taught Williams in two classes and men-
tored her. White said she encouraged Williams to write for
the Famuan in the spring. Williams' work on several inves-
tigative pieces helped her earn the fall news editor position
in record time.
"She had become a real newswoman," White said. "She
could handle high-caliber work and she was a high-caliber
student. If you put her to the challenge, she would rise to
the occasion."
White said students can learn from Williams' profes-
sionalism.
"Her work ethic was uncompromised," White said. The
students "can be as committed to learning as Nef was."
White said Williams was applying for summer newspa-
per internships, but Williams. eventually wanted to be an
entertainment public relations professional.
On Nov. 21 at 10:50 p.m., about a day before her death,
Williams wrote a note titled "Thankful for YOU" on her
Facebook.com Web page.
It was believed to have been written to a friend:
"Lord knows I have had my share of problems in my
life and it has been one of the roughest two years of my life,
but through it all GOD above all, and YOU have made my
life better in some way -- whether it was just a quick call to
see how I was doing or being there for me in my time of
need. I am forever grateful and thankful to have you in my
life. I thank you and I hope that I am as important to you as
you are to me. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!"
Williams' funeral sen ice was held on Dec. 2 at 1 p.in.
at First United Methodist Church in Sarasota. Fla.

Attorney Miller Furious at Black Folks For Helping %
To Create The Michael Richards of the World ,


By Attorney Roy Miller
Michael Richards, Seinfeld's character of Kramer, revealed to the world an attitude
that many people in the world share about us and our love affair with being disrespected. On
Friday night, before a mixed audience, he referred to
Blacks as the N-word. I am furious with us. We should
be raising pure hell with those that sponsor, support and
publicize the Michael Richards of the World.
This isn't just about Michael Richards; it's more about
the world that we have helped to create. Black
Americans seal their fate to remain at the bottom, when
we allow disrespect. I have called for a zero tolerance
towards Black Americans accepting disrespect. I knew
.. that around the world, in every country, in every socie-
Sty and in every group, two things have always been cer-
tain. They are, those that demand respect are alwayson
the top and those that allow disrespect are always on
Sthe bottom. This is why I have fought so hard against
Attorney Roy Miller the N-word usage.
Unlike any other race in the world, we fight for the right to be disrespected. We
demand to be referred to with the ultimate forms of disrespect towards Black people. We love
the N-word and the disrespect that it brings. Do we want to stay at the bottom and do we want
to teach our children that it is ok to accept disrespect? I am furious, but I am probably more
hurt than furious. Has God been good to us? Why are we so angry with God that we stand
for so much disrespect?
Seinfeld's character of Kramer, Michael Richards, spoke with heart and with pas-
sion. He yielded to a temptation, based on a society of people that has tolerance for disre-
spect. He supposedly spoke of how "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f--
ing fork up your a--."
This is how climates for lynching were created. This hits the hearts and memories of
many Black people that fought so hard to give us a chance to live. Slavery ended in 1865,
just 141 years ago. Do you realize that there are Black people walking the earth today, whose
parents were slaves! We are not so far from reality that we can afford to take such actions for
granted. We allow disrespect and therefore make it easier for those who think like Michael
Richards to have powerful influences on the undecided.
When you give respect and demand respect, despite the situation, you have to rise.
It is at that time when doubt shall rest and you will see for yourself God at his best...
In 1994, Attorney Roy Miller became the first and only person to succeed at having
the N-word deleted from a major dictionary.
Bebe Moore Campbell, Best-Selling Novelist Wrote
On Racism and Mental Illness Dead at Age 56
By Mary Rourke, Times Staff Writer November 28, 2006
Bebe Moore Campbell, a best-selling author who wrote with compassion and candor
about social issues from the African American perspective, died Monday. She was 56.
Campbell died at her home in Los Angeles of complications from brain cancer, her pub-
licist Linda Wharton Boyd said.
In her novels, she took up such topics as racism and the
problems 'of mental illness. Her closely observed details about
characters engaged in complicated relationships led re\ ievers to
compare her to such literary masters as Anton Chekhoy and Edith
Wharton.
Several of Campbell's novels are set in Los Angeles.

strained aftermath of the city's 1992 riots. The no\ el's main char-
acter, a black woman banker, is torn between her commitment to
a white co-worker and the black man she accuses of sexual
harassment. Campbell was part of the first
"This book is about succeeding and surviving, even wave of novelists who made
being happy in a society where every card seems stacked against the lives of upwardly mobile
you," novelist Carolyn See wrote in a review for the Washington black people a routine subject
Post. for popular fiction.
See called Campbell one of the most important African
American novelists of the 20th century and regularly included "Brothers and.Sisters" in a course
she taught about writers of the American West.
Another of Campbell's novels set in Los Angeles, "What You Owe Me" (2001), is a saga
of two women who launch a cosmetics empire and the struggles that follow.
The book is "a meticulously reinvented landscape of 1940s Los Angeles," noted a Times
review in naming Campbell's novel one of the best books of 2001.
"Bebe was a passionate voice for Los Angeles," novelist Paula L. Woods said Monday.
"She wrote about the historical and social forces that make us rub against each other and spark.
Her heart was in the African American community.
"There will be a gap without her. Already, you feel that absence."
As a novelist Campbell was attracted to strong female characters, caught up in a life-
changing drama.
In "72 Hour Hold" (2005), a woman struggles with family members and the healthcare
system when her grown daughter becomes mentally ill.
Campbell also wrote about mental illness .in an unusual children's novel, "Sometimes
My Mommy Gets Angry" (2002), about little girl whose mother is unbalanced and erratic.
."It was courageous of Bebe," to write the book. said James Fugate, co-owner of Eso
Won bookstore in Los Angeles, where Campbell regularly attracted "out-the-door" crowds when
introducing her newest novel.
"The book is a way of expressing to children xhat they need to know, "Fugate said. The
little girl in the story learns to call a grandmother or an aunt for help if her mother is not well.
Campbell was open about the fact that there w\as mental illness in her family but \\as not
specific about the details.
"Bebe put her compassion and sensitivity into the writing," Woods said.
.Campbell's first book, "Successfill Women, Angry Men: Backlash in the Two Career
Marriage" (1986), was nonfiction.
She also wrote a memoir, "Sweet Summer, Growing Up With and Without My Dad"
(1989), about her young life as the daughter of.divorced parents. She would spend the school
year with her mother in Philadelphia and summer with her father, a paraplegic, in North Carolina.
Her journalistic articles appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Ebony
magazine and elsewhere.
Along with her best-selling author's status, she received an Image Award for Literature
from the NAACP for her 1992 novel "Your Blues Ain't Like Mine" about the segregated Deep
South.

An Introduction to the History of Jacksonville Race Relations James B. Crooks Address given to the JCCI Improving Race Relations study committee, October 30, 2001
How does one approach the history of race relations in America? In Jacksonville?
How do we reach some meaning or understanding of the experience?
The approach that I have chosen is to look at the history as a process of African Americans wanting to become a successful part of the American dream. There is a lot of precedent for this approach. After all, the early Puritans
came to New England seeking freedom of worship. So did Catholics to Baltimore and Quakers to Philadelphia. The Dutch came to New York seeking economic opportunity, as did the English to South Carolina and Georgia.
The same could be said for the Spanish in Florida-all seeking a dream in what they called the New World.
After Independence and before the Civil War, the Irish and Germans came to America and sought to become a successful part of it. Later, Italians, Jews, Chinese and Mexicans also wanted to succeed in America.
African Americans were no different. After Emancipation, they too wanted to succeed in America, become part of the dream.
The questions then become: how did African Americans approach becoming included? And how did the white majority respond?
In looking at the history of race relations in Jacksonville, I will approach the topic from this perspective: African Americans seeking inclusion and whites responding. I will look first at events shaping the first half of the 20th
century; then at events shaping the 2nd half of the 20th century. Then it will be your job to help shape the story of race relations for the beginning of the 21st century.
One hundred years ago Jacksonville residents were re-building their city after the Great Fire of 1901. The population of the city was almost 29,000 people, more than half of who were African Americans (16,000). Blacks had
moved to Jacksonville in substantial numbers after the Civil War, leaving plantations and the countryside to seek greater freedom and economic opportunity in the city. Many white Americans were doing the same thing an over
the country during these years.
Young African American adults in Jacksonville like Eartha White (age 25) and James Weldon Johnson (age 30) had parents either born slaves or bom during the time of slavery. They were one generation removed. The accom-
plishments of these parents and their children were amazing. Between 1865 and 1900 Duval County established free primary education for blacks and they comprised half the student enrollment. Lacking public high schools,
Jacksonville's African American community with outside help established four private secondary schools (Edward Waters College, Florida Baptist Academy, Cookman Institute and Boylan Haven School For Girls). By 1900,
according to census reports; 86 percent of the African American population was literate. Only 35 years earlier state law had banned teaching slaves to read.
Blacks also built churches, opened businesses, worked on the railroad, unloaded ships, and worked in hotels and paper mills. James Weldon Johnson's father was headwaiter-at the city most deluxe hotel, the St. -James. His moth-
er taught school at Florida Baptist Academy. Johnson later wrote that in the 1880s and 90s, Jacksonville was "regarded by colored people all over the country as the most liberal town in the South." After finishing college in
Atlanta, Johnson returned to Jacksonville, became principal of Stanton School, read law and became the first African American admitted to the Florida bar. He also briefly published a weekly newspaper. While principal at
Stanton, he expanded the curriculum to include secondary studies making Stanton the first black public high school in Florida. This was some 20 years before Atlanta opened its first black public high school.
But Johnson wasn't the only achiever. Eartha White, daughter of a mother born a slave, became a schoolteacher, nurse, businesswoman, social worker and political activist. She revitalized the dormant Colored Old Folks Home
(now Eartha White Nursing Home), opened Clam White Mission to feed the homeless, and successfully lobbied for new parks and schools in the black community.
Earlier, in 1887, rive African Americans were elected to city council, and Joseph E. Lee, lawyer, was elected city magistrate. Lee later served as Collector of Revenue for the port of Jacksonville under a series of Republican
presidents, and was a local party leader. There were also black police and fire fighters.
Just before the fire of 1901, five black community leaders including A. L. Lewis organized the African American Life Insurance Company, which became a major economic institution over the next fifty years. Shortly after the
fire with help from the Methodist church, community leaders opened Brewster Hospital (forerunner to Methodist and Shands) to serve the black community. Other residents started pharmacies, groceries, restaurants, saloons,
funeral parlors, bicycle and furniture repair shops and even two small banks. Doctors, lawyers, teachers and clergy also grew in number. Black Jacksonville was not wealthy, but as Johnson wrote upon his return home from a
diplomatic post in Nicaragua in 1913, the city had become "a bustling, go-getter. Boom town." He heard stories from African American friends and saw evidence in the new automobiles and fine homes built in the black com-
munity. He concluded, "I could not help but be infected by the enthusiasm, prosperity and opportunities around me."
Unfortunately there was another side to the story of increasing black progress and prosperity. White attitudes toward blacks were hardening in the city, across ,the .state, regionally and nationally. A belief in white supremacy
always existed, but when Johnson first wrote about the 1880s and 1890s, there was frequently a generous paternalistic attitude that encouraged Johnson to read law and pass the bar, or Eartha White to persuade city council to
create a park in LaVilla.
That attitude changed. It began at the state level in 1885 with a new state constitution requiring a poll tax, which effectively excluded poor black and white voters. It followed in 1887 when the state legislature suspended
Jacksonville's city government with its majority black/Knights of Labor governing coalition until such time as election districts could be re-drawn to ensure a more conservative white majority. It continued in 1900 with the pas-
sage of a white Democratic primary law barring blacks from voting for candidates of the majority party in primary elections. In 1907 city council further re-drew council district boundaries to exclude all black representation.
It segregated streetcars, saloons theaters and other public accommodations. It also eliminated black police and firefighters closing city employment for African Americans to only the most menial jobs. Black attorneys chal-
lenged the changes taking place, but the courts ruled against them.
Official Jim Crow establishing an American brand of apartheid by governmental action was matched by a changing public opinion. Johnson saw if on trips home from New York after he moved there in 1903. He wrote that
Jacksonville had become a "100 percent cracker town." When Johnson returned to Jacksonville after serving as a consul in Nicaragua, he considered whether to settle here. A white banker friend and patron warned him that if
he had never left Jacksonville, it would have one thing, but to leave and return, he said, "don't try it."
When Jack Johnson, an African American prizefighter (and no relation) won the heavy weight championship in 1910, blacks celebrated the achievement. Whites responded by rioting in the streets attacking blacks and destroy-
ing their property. White police became notorious for their violence against black men. And while there were no riots on the scale of Atlanta, Wilmington, N.C., New Orleans, Chicago or Washington, D.C., there was a lynch-
ing in 1919. Whites dragged two black murder suspects out of jail, killed them and tied one to the rear bumper of a car dragging the body through town as a warning to other African Americans.
Historians have tried to determine why white attitudes on race relations became. worse during the years from the 1880s through the First World War. Part-of it was the hard times in the countryside propelling poorly educated
whites and blacks to cities. There was an attempt by reformers to'organize a coalition of blacks and whites to challenge the entrenched political systems of the early 1890s. Incumbents played the race card to rally white voters.
There was a major economic depression in the mid-1890s with a concomitant rise in crime and blacks became easy scapegoats focusing on the crime rather than the failure of industrial capitalism.
The harshness of Jim Crow lasted through the first half of the 20th century. When Mayor Haydon Bums appointed the first black police officers of the modem era, they were housed at a separate substation in the old Blodgett
Homes and lacked authority to arrest whites. When the new city hall and courthouse opened in the 1960s, both had separate black and white rest rooms and water fountains. Conditions in the segregated schools were one of the
factors in the county's school dis-accreditation in the 1960s. Not only were black schools physically too small, run down and often dilapidated, but books were hand-me-downs from while schools with marked and tom pages,
and desks were scratched or otherwise scarred. These conditions, however, began to change in the civil rights movement beginning in the 1950s.
Different people date the beginning of the civil rights movement differently. Some say the 1954 Supreme Court ruling desegregating the public schools started it Others say it began with the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955
with Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. For Jacksonville, there were earlier court cases to eliminate unequal pay for white and black teachers, and the elimination of the all white Democratic primary. But in the popular mind
Jacksonville's civil rights movement began with-the 1960 downtown protests and 'demonstrations to integrate restaurants and lunch counters. It led of course to the ax-handle riot in August of that year begun by white oppo-
nents.
Rutledge Pearson was the charismatic advisor to the,NAACP Youth Council. Rodney Hurst and Alton Yates were important leaders. Their efforts achieved limited success at lunch counters, biut not in restaurants Demonstrations
in 1964 to desegregate restaurants led to more rioting. Passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by Congress, however, brought their integration and that of lither public accommodations. ,
In December 1960, six years after the Supreme Court's school decision, attorney Earl Johnson filed suit on behalf of black parents to desegregate Duval Countn public schools. Two years later the U.S. District Court approved
a neighborhood school plan, but progress was slow. In'September 1963, only 13-black first graders were enrolled in fi e previously all white schools. No whites were enrolled in black schools. In February 1964, KK Klansmen
dynamited the home of one of the first graders. Under the leadership of Wendell Holmes, later elected to the Duval CountN School Board, the NAACP persisted. It took more than ten years and additional court orders to achie\ e
substantial desegregation in 1971.
In 1959 and again in 1960, black businessman Frank Hampton successfully sued to desegregate city-owned public facilities, which led to the sale of the public golf course and the closing of s imming pools to prevent blacks
from using them. The 1960s were a tumultuous decade in many ways. Civil disturbances Occurred locally in 1960, 1964, 1968 following King's assassination, and in 1969 after a salesman shot a black % south on Florida Avenue
whom he claimed was stealing goods from his van.
Two themes stand out during these and subsequent years in race relations' First, were the achievements of African Americans In 1967. Sallhe Mathis and MarN Singleton became the first tvo blacks elected to cirN council in
sl \, ears Follow ing consolidation, a predominantly whitee population elected Earl Johnson at-large. Many other African Americans have followed in their footsteps In 1968. Wendell Holmes became the first black elected to
the Duval Counnt School Board. and later its first black chair. Others have followed his lead. Two decades later. Nat GloCer became Jackson\ ille's first black sheriff also elected b. a major n white population African Americans
'have been appointed to management and professional positions at city hall, in the schools and with.the independent authorities Dr. Adam Herbert became the first African American state uratersin president of a predominant-
ly white institution (Dr. Andrew Robinson previously had been an interim appointee' Subsequently the Chamber of:Commerce chose Herbert as the first black to lead that body The list could go on-of outstanding black oung-
sters succeeding at magnet schools, black and'white volunteers contributing to the success of JCCI and other nonprofit community organizations. and successful business and professional men and women bun mg homes In an
S increasingly residenially integrated Jackson\ ille. Much as at the turn of the cennrN. African Americans hae been making their posimte mark on the Jacksont lile community in a multiplica~ of \ia. s
Yet there is another theme that parallels the achieve ements of local African Americans. That theme has been one of almost grudging acceptance of those ache\ events b% the white majority The school s stem is a good exam-
ple. For forty years the NAACP has been in court trying to integrate the schools In.the 1960s the Du al Counrt School Board dragged its fee resulting in minimal desegregation The courts finally forced them to act. Their
1970s plan bused black youngsters K-5 out of their neighborhoods across town to strange, sometimes hostile schools. while busing \hire youngsters only for grades six and seen Neither teachers nor children' were well pre-
pared for the process.- Where it truly succeeded in integrating classrooms, it was generally the result of extraordinary teachers and \ ell-intentioned parents. The s% stem did not create a hospitable atmosphere for.racial integra-,
tion Decisions b the school board to build new suburban schools. which were needed by the growing suburban population, were seen in the black communrm as neglect of their deca mng inner city schools. The successful con-
struction of Andrez\ Robinson Elementalr school. reconstruction of Kirby Smith and John E. Ford schools in the 1990s were positive steps, but the awareness that inner ci students do less \\ell on FCAT and SAT exams con-:
tinues to feed community skepticism about the commitment of the school sy stem to inner cit. kids
The second example of a slot%\ acceptance of black achievement and inclusion withinthe larger communmt can be seen in the sheriffs department. After each racial disturbance of the 1960s and early 1970s, blacks criticized
S the police for heavy -handed responses The3 also criticized the police for the absence of minonrl officers Report after report recommended training in police-community relations, and the addition of more black officers. It
required the threat of withholding of federal funds in 1974 to persuade Sheriff Dale Carson to draft an affti atm e action hiring plan. At the time. 5 percent of the force \as African American in a cin with a 25 percent black'
population The only black chief had no officers assigned'to his command It took until 1987 for a new sheriff. Jim McMillan. to establish and mo\e toward the goal of police officers proportionate to the black population of
th e city I ; . 1 1 I I I -
One could cite other examples. E\ern may or since Lou Ritier in the 196OS-Tanzier, Godbold. Hazouri. Austin and Delane\-hat e reached out to the black communing Yet the effort to desegregate the fire department took a court
order. Goals for minority hiring at super isor le\ els were set but ne\ er met. Contracts for quali tied minority businesses ne\ er seemed to match promises. Street pat ing. seter construction. drainage, park maintenance, trash
collection and street lighting on the north side of the city net er seemed to be as well done as on the south side.
Local government made substantial strides toward equalizing service across the city, especially in targeted neighborhoods. But when push came to shove, the commitment to reduce property tax rates alwa~\s seemed' to hae a,
higher priorin o\ er providing additional services needed in the minority community.
Thus whenDrs. Charles Owens and Jeff Will of UNF completed a stud\ show ing that African Americans view city go eminent, police-communiut relations or the school sy stem differently than do white Jackson\ ille residents.
should ani one be surprised? When Dr. Steve Baker and his colleagues at Jackson\ ille LUniversit) report that blacks'and whites disagree about equal opporrunit in the job market, the need for continued school integration, and
the importance of affirmative action, should we be surprised? Or that JCCl's annual Qualit of Life indicators ho\w that 61 percent of African .Amercans belie\ e racism is a continuing problem as compared to onhl 45 percent
of whites?
S I hae not touched on a host of recent issues including racial profiling at the malls. inner ci ballots not counted at the last presidential election, glass ceilings in emplo\ ment, controversy over Adam Mark's hotel policies, stale

AU f these issues has multiple points of \ ie\\ Many may .hot have hadracist moti\ nations, but gien the history of race relations locally, is it an wonder r that African Americans are skeptical of each new current event?
Finally there ha\e been successful biracial efforts that should notbe overlooked The formation of the Jackson\ lle Urban League in the late 19-40s resulted from a study, mtataed bv Richard P Daniel about conditions in inner
city neighborhoods. The consolidation of Jackson\ ille with Duval Couttn in 1968 under the leadership of Daniel's son, I J.Daniel and Le\ Hester, was another example. Earl Johnson. Sallye Mathis and other African Americans
Took part and 60 percent of black voters supported the consolidation referendum. Following the riots of 1969 the biracial Jackson\ ille Community Relatons Commission undertook a study of conditions on the east side of the
city making significant recommendation, In 1983, Mayor Godbold appointed Bucky Clarkson to chair a study of police-community relations.'It led to policy changes in police hiring and promotions Foll\ ing Judge Santora's
S: unfortunate remarks in late 1991, the black and white communities canie together to make recommendations to improve race relations. JCCI's 1992 study of Young Black Males was another example of biracial cooperation. In
each case \well-intentioned blacks and \whites worked conscientiously together to improve Jacksonville's race relations: Unfortunately in about half of :he cases, study conclusions were never implemented. Other community
issues surfaced and took priority.
Still, at the beginning of'a n\ew century and particularly in the light of September llth, it's important that Jacksonville begin again. It also is important to remember that it does not take a majority of the population to effect
change. Historical\ one can look at Moses leading the Jewish people to the promised land, Jesus and his disciples. Mohammed and his followers, Jefferson, Adams and the signers of the Declaration of Independence,.more
recently\ Mohatma Ghandi mn India. Martin Luther King in the U.S. and Nelson Mandela in South Africa. They and their followers brought about dramatic changes against overwhelming odds, each in their part of the world. So

qualified, according to the U. S. standards in cities the size of
Jacksonville, said Butler.
There were 22 items that the Mayor's assigned Human Rights
Commission stated needed to be developed, in order for the
department to be on track. It is those items that the firefighters
want to see handled. Instead, the firefighters said, the commit-
tees set up are made up of the same people who. are already a
part of the department. "It is like putting the fox in charge of
the hen house," said Butler. In addition, the two firefighter rep-
resentives said that the Human Rights Commission found that
there is no clear distinction between management of the JFRD
and the Union. There is widespread perception that the union
selective ely determines who it will appropriately represent, and
has strong political influence, and membership and participa-
tion in the Union is viewed as a "stepping stone" to political
appointment. Therefore, the black firefighters.cannot depend
upon the Union to help clear the matters at hand.
The only answer is that the real truth get uncovered, serious
diversity be taught and consequences be mandated so attitudes
can be corrected;throughout the department, said Butleii.

said Dr. Benny Primm, the
chair emeritus of NMAC.
"We do know a number
of people who come into
the prison system HIV pos-
itive and some are HIV
negative and when they
leave they're HIV positive.
But there has been a ten-
dency not to test prisoners
because perhaps the prison
system, the corrections sys-
tem, and health system
does not want to pay for the
treatment of HIV for peo-
ple who are incarcerated."
The report included one
of the most recent exam-.
ples of the resistance to
providing condoms for
prisoners in California.
In September, although
California is reported to
have the nation's largest
incarcerated population
(160,000), Gov. Arnold
Schwarzeregger vetoed
legislation allowing public
health agencies to distrib-
ute condoms to prisoners.
"We can reduce-incar-
ceration as a driver of HIV
infections by offering vol-
untary counseling and test-
ing in prisons, making pre-
vention education and con-
doms available to all
inmates and strengthening
re-entry programs that help
formerly incarcerated indi-
viduals successfully transi-
tion back into society,"
Fullilove said.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-
Calif.) authored legislation
including the "Stop AIDS.
in Prison Act" (H.R. 6038).
Her legislation includes
using federal funds to pro-
vide condoms in prisons
and testing for prisoners
upon arrival and again
\\hen they are released.


The report also urges
the government to provide
more funding to study
Black gay men as well as
expanding education pro-
grams and routine testing.
The Centers for Disease
and Control acknowledged
a greater need for more
testing and recommended
earlier this fall that
Americans between ages
13-64 be routinely tested
and requirements for writ-
ten consent and pretest
counseling be dropped.
Another recommenda-
tion from NMAC was to
increase education about
injection drugs to prevent
its use and create needle
exchange programs for the
addicted to decrease needle
sharing and the spread of
the disease.
Rep. Juanita Millender-
McDonald (D-Calif.)
explained that Black
women in particular are
under attack.
"It is devastating our
community and it's robbing
our women of their child-
bearing years between the
ages of 25 and 44. We're
clearly not doing enough as
a nation to prevent HIV,
particularly among
African-Americans who
account for half of all new
diagnosis," she said.
Millender-McDonald
authored the Mother to
Child Transmission legisla-
tion that requests a $50 mil-
lion appropriation to treat
mothers and children with
HIV/AIDS. :

she said. "I am here to sup-
port NAMC on their strate-
gic plan because govern-
ment alone cannot solve the
problem, but we certainly
need to be doing more."
Other Black representa-
tives such Donna M.
Christensen (D-VI) and
Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) also
endorsed the report.
"I do feel that the
changes in Congress fol-
lowing the election are a
symptom of America's real
desire to see members of
Congress who not only will
talk about their issues
before November 7th, but
who will work tirelessly to
address them from Nov. 8th
forward. That includes
working to reauthorize the
Ryan White CARE Act in a
manner that reflects the
trends of the HIV/AIDS
epidemic today, as well as
ensuring that \ve have

efforts."
Christensen and other
AIDS activists have said
that current federal funds
do not match up with the
e\er-gro\ ing needs and


ever-growing population of
American's with HIV and
AIDS.
Christensen, who is the
chair of the CBC's health
brain trust and a medical
physician, said that
SRepublicans had numerous
opportunities to address the
issue and "failed."
Lee, who co-chairs the
CBC Global AIDS
Taskforce,and introduced
the "Justice for the
Unprotected Against
Sexually Transmitted
Infections among the

of 2006" or JUSTICE Act
(H.R.6083) said, the
NMAC report offered, "a
clear blueprint." She also
agreed the "new Congress"
\ ill provide a fresh start for
AIDS reform.
"The fact is that this
administration and the
Republican Congress have
never paid much attention
to the needs of African
American or minority com-
munities when it comes to
fighting AIDS, and yop
can bet that we are going to
wvork to change that in the
new Congress."

Museum Starts Adopt-An-Artifact Program
CHICAGO What do a T-Rex skull, two stuffed elephants and a
meteorite from Australia have in common? They are among the more than 20
popular exhibits included in an adopt-an-artifact program begun this month by
Chicago's Field Museum.
Money raised from individuals or corporations will go toward the
museum's endowment fund, now around $290 million, said Sheila Cawley, the
museum's official in charge of the new sponsorship program.
Donors get their names placed near the exhibit, a meeting with a
scientist linked to it, an original work of art and mention on the museum's Web
site, Cawley said. The sponsorships start at $25,000 and run as high as $2.5
million for exclusive association with the two African elephants acquired by
the museum in 1909.
Sponsoring Bushman the gorilla will cost $1 million. The now-
stuffed animal was a big draw at Lincoln Park Zoo until his death in 1951. The
body of the 550-pound lowland gorilla was donated to the museum and
became a permanent exhibit in 1952.
The skull of Sue the T-Rex, one of the Field Museum's best known pieces,
and two man-eating Tsavo lions also will cost sponsors $1 million.
Less expensive sponsorships include the Gladstone meteorite from
Australia and a Tibetan statue with multiple arms, which each cost $25,000.
The values are roughly linked to an object's fame and size, Cawley said.
The Field Museum has more than 23 million artifacts, and the museum


could.expand the sponsorship program later to include more objects, she said.

For example, the idea behind a new product
called the Artpack, from Seat Sack, Inc., is to encourage
children to be artistically creative at home without mak-
s ing a mess.
SThe pack is designed for children 5 to 7 years
old. It consists of:
S a smock to be worn by the child;
a vinyl plastic "table cover" that is easily cleaned;
a Seat SackTM pouch that fits over the back of the child's
chair;
- a "white board," eraser and drawing pen; and
a clear, vinyl case into which everything fits.
Instead of the white board, children might choose
to finger paint or use crayons.
In either case, the child's clothing is protected so
that the "artwork" doesn't appear on him or her, plus
:'mom's furniture is also protected.
S" Artpack not only encourages a child's creativity,
but also teaches the importance of being neat and organ-
ized.
For more information about Artpack, visit
www.seatsack.com.
An ideal gift for kids 5 to 7 years of age is
Artpack. It encourages youngsters to be creative, neat and
organized while having hours of fun.

(NAPSI)-There's an art to finding the right gift
for a child and one gift that benefits a child's development
is the gift of being able to create art.
Educators and developmental experts know that
art provides a way for young children to express their
thoughts and feelings.
Art encourages children to use raw materials to
produce something original. Children love to experiment
and art provides the canvas.
It also helps children develop motor skills and
enhance their knowledge of colors and shapes.
Psychologists also say that early art training is
crucial for art appreciation later in life. i
These are just a few of the reasons that parents
and grandparents should provide opportunities for creat-
ing art at home.
Although some adults might pass on art supplies
because they worry about the mess art can make, it does-
n't have to be that way if you buy supplies that are well
designed.

By Dr. Ted Baehr and Dr.
Tom Snyder
"The Nativity
Story" movie, which tells
the story behind the
Greatest Story Ever Told,
the birth of Jesus Christ,


has an important message
about faith, honor and
purity for today's
teenagers.
Although this
Christmas Story took place
2,000 years ago, it has
great resonance for our
world today.
First, despite the
problems and pressures it
would cause for her, Mary
gladly accepts the call of
God to become the Holy
Vessel for the Son of God.
Though she suffers the
scorn of the community,
she sticks by her faith in
God and what He is doing
through her.
In fact, back in the
days when this story took
place, it was not uncom-
mon for unwed mothers to
disappear, deliver their.
babies secretly and leave
their babies out in the
wilderness to die. Instead
of killing her baby, howev-
er, Mary treasures her:
baby. Jesus, as a miracu-
lous, divine gift from God.:
Second, Mary's
betrothed, Joseph, was
able to stand by his fiancee
because he too responded
to God's love and believed
in Him.
Joseph's faith and
trust in God gave him great
courage to obey God, resist
social pressure and take
Mary home to be his.wife.
Today's teenagers
are daily bombarded with
hedonistic, pagan images
and sounds of sex in the
mass media. No wonder
that a recent medical study
revealed that half of all of
today's teenagers will get a
Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD) by the time
they are 25-years-old!
Today, of course,
an STD can kill you. In
fact, some STDs can kill
you long before any sec-
ond-hand -cigarette smoke
will!
Another recent
study, by the journal of the
American Association of
Pediatrics, found that


teenagers listening to
music with explicit sexual
lyrics fornicate sooner than
teenagers who do not.
These two studies
show clearly that follow-
ing the example of sexual
purity and honor set by the
Virgin Mary and Joseph is
not just some quaint rem-
nant of Medieval Times or
the Victorian Age. It's a
matter of Life and Death.
If explicit depic-
tions of sex in the media
encourage teenagers to
cave to social pressures to
have sex before marriage,
then "The Nativity Story"
and other positive media
products like it can help
teenagers to avoid media
pressure, peer pressure and
pressure from misguided
school teachers luring lwre
them into a world of list
and sexual immorality that
could lead to sickness and
even death.
When we have
faith in God,' faith in His
miraculous promises to us,
and faith in His Holy
Word. the Holy Spirit can
use that faith to help us do
what God says, regardless
of the cost.
By having the
same kind of faith as Mary
and Joseph, today's
teenagers can resist poor
choices and pressures run-
ning rampant in our socie-
ty. It was a faith in the
Word of God made flesh,
Jesus Christ. Jesus is the
true Light who enlightens
all people. Jesus is full of
God's Grace, Truth and.
Love. : Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound!

Incarcerated Fathers and Their
Children Find NEW LIFE

(NAPSA)-A group _
of inmates are learning how
to breathe new life into
their relationships with
their children through a
unique program at a maxi-
mnum security prison.
Through the 4-H
LIFE-Living Interactive
SFamily Education program
Sat the Potosi Correctional
-Center in Mineral Point,
Mo., youth build relation-
ships with their incarcerat- Incarcerated fathers and their
ed fathers through 4-H club children build better relation-
work. Developed jointly ships through the 4-H LIFE
program.
between the fathers and program
local 4-H staff, the program focuses on improving parent-
ing-skills and bettering the children's social and academ-
ic adjustment and overall well-being.
One and a half million American children have
parents serving sentences in state and federal prison,
according to U.S. Department of Justice statistics.' These
children can react negatively to the separation and devel-
op aggressive behaviors or suffer from eating or sleeping
disorders.
"Offenders join the program because they see
their kids'are repeating their own destructive behaviors
that led to their committing crimes and they want to help
break that pattern before it's too late," said Washington
County 4-H Youth Extension Associate Robert
Wilkerson.
In the 4-H LIFE program, children and their
fathers can move freely and interact naturally in an open,
unstructured setting-a sharp contrast to the restricted vis-
itation usually granted at the maximum-security prison.
"When you meet them for a [regular] visit, you're
[only] allowed a hug. In 4-H, your kid can sit there with
you and lean on you," said one father. "You have a bigger
bonding process between father and son."
The youth and their fathers work together on 4-H
club activities that encourage goal-setting, teamwork and
- accomplishment. One youth said being able to work on 4-
H activities with his father "created an environment for
me to be with my family like a normal family.":
Fathers work on their parenting skills in formal
meetings and often look to each other for help working
out family problems or other advice. They organize food
sales and recycling programs to fund activities and adopt
needy families in the community.
Families that participate in 4-H LIFE report
stronger relationships, better communication, greater
family unity, life skills development and improved home
and school behavior for the youth.
"It's astounding and gratifying to see the changes
the kids have made," said St. Francois County 4-H Youth
Development Specialist Lynna Lawson.
4-H is a community of young people across
America learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.

(NAPSA)-"Eureka!" That's what many parents say when they find a camp for
their daughter that focuses on science.
That may be the cause of excitement as more than 1,700 girls, ages 11-13, will
take part in a variety of engineering and science-related projects. at the weeklong
EX.I.T.E. camps across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and Asia
Pacific, sponsored for the eighth year by IBM. EX.I.T.E. stands for EXploring Interests
in Technology and Engineering.
"Traditionally, girls have shied away from taking math, science and technology
courses because they didn't think they could excel in them, or thought the classes were
unrelated to what they wanted to do in their lives," said Katherine Hegmann, IBM
General Manager, Global Application Services, Business Consulting Services. "\What
many girls don't realize is that technology is providing opportunities for careers in vir-
tually every field they could hope to. pursue."
As part of this year's program, EX.I.T.E. Campers will work in teams with IBM
employee volunteers on innovation projects allowing the girls to realize the wealth of
ideas and talents they possess that could make a difference in medicine, health care,
agriculture,
entertainment, .
consumer goods,
environmental
preservation or ,
rescue and reliefH
efforts. Each
camp will docu-
ment its innova-
tions by creating nng
a three-dimen-
sional model.I
blueprint or pres-
entation. The
campers will get
a- chance to pres-
enti their nova- Technically speaking-One camp provides girls with hands-on experi-
tions to local ence in technical activities.
IBM volunteers
and executives who will in turn provide feedback.
Since its inception in 1999, 85 percent of the more than 5,000 girls who partic-
ipated in an EX.I.T.E. Camp indicated that they would consider pursuing an engineer-
ing or technical-related degree when they go to college. This shift in perception is crit-
ical for companies that depend on technical talent to fill key positions in addition,to
being timely, as evidenced in a recent survey by the Society of Women Engineers, which
indicated that 75 percent of girls, ages 12-17, do not plan to pursue careers in math, sci-
ence or technology.
When the camps conclude, girls can stay in touch with the technical women at
IBM through an e-mentoring program. So far, most girls have found the camps to be an
effective motivational experience.
Parents may want to contact their child's school to see if the school participates
in the program. For general information on camps, visit the American Camp Association
at www.acacamps.org.

the novice who just want to learn the game and
have some fun.
The Arlington Family
YMCA on Ft. Caroline
Road has graciously
provided their facilities

Many of the skills that Youth Counselors develop pay
dividends in the corporate world
It is doubtful that getting a new assistant vice
president to meet expectations could be any more of a
challenge than helping 10 troubled teenagers to exceed
theirs.
"Youth Counselors-learn to set reasonable expec-
tations," Roett said. "Our counselors will see success
unfold before their eyes-they give and receive construc-
tive feedback continually. These valuable experiences
become the foundation for any career."
EYA'is seeking counselors for outdoor therapy
programs in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Tennessee, Rhode Island and Ohio. For

Jammie Foxx was great
as the group's manager and
Eddie Murphy displayed his
many talents as the singer
the group backed.
Beyonce Knowles was.

in her role, especially in her
songs.
The move was exciting
and sad. Sad when the

lead singer was forced out of
the group.
Dreamgirls will be in the-
atres e\er\M\here in:

just for the lessons. Apparently, they saw her talent and saw her dream long before she did.
Her dream was to become a professional dancer and teach the skill to others. ,Now with
"Awakening A New Generation," she is able to see her dream come alive. Some of her stu-
dents have now become professionals.

Ask Deanna! is an advice column known for its fearless approach to reality-based
subjects!

Dear Deanna!
I'm worried about my sister because she is the type of
woman that has to be in a relationship. She recently ended a 6-
year romance and after two weeks, already getting serious about
someone new. I think she needs to clear her head and realize she
is on the rebound. She has already told this man she loves him
and I want her to slow down. What can I say to her in order to
spare her feelings but still get my message across?
Anonymous St. Louis, MO

Dear Anonymous:
It's good that you're concerned because this is your sister and you love her. If she's
not being hurt and there aren't any foul signs of abuse or cheating from this man, you should
wait and see what happens. However, it's too early to see his true character and as an experi-
enced dater, your sister should see the signs when they appear. Share your honest feelings with
. her about slowing down and let her know she has your full support if things don't work out.
** **** ** ***** ***** '*1*
Dear Deanna!

My boyfriend and I have dated for 3-years and I gave him a key to my apartment. Now
that he can come in, eat, sleep and go as he pleases, things have changed. He doesn't come
over as often and when he does, it's late at night. I've asked him for a key to his place but he
said no without an
explanation.. I told him I wanted my key back and he said if I take it from him or change the
locks, the relationship is over. Was it a mistake to give him a key in the first place?
Tanya On-Line Reader

Dear Tanya:
If his name isn't on the lease then he shouldn't have a key. You made yourself vulner-
able because he knows you won't entertain anyone else since he can show up at any time. He's
not going to give you a key because he's not as committed as you are. You should take your
key and if that's the only thing that can end the relationship, then you don't need him. If he
refuses, then change your locks, make him knock on the door for a visit andkeep it moving.
**************************
Dear Deanna!
I was jailed for the past 15 years. I'm free now and having a hard time adjusting. So
many things have changed and I feel lost in a world that is so fast. I can't use a computer, the
cell phones are intimidating and everything costs so much. It's a challenge trying to survive
and make it working minimum wage. I never want to go back to jail but drug dealing made
my life so easy. What'can I do to keep from giving in the urge to deal drugs again? -
Sam P. Decatur, GA

Dear Sam:
Pray hard and remember the life you lost in jail. Think about the'confinement, prison
food and neglect you suffered. If that's not enough, think of the people you destroy \whi le sell-
ing them drugs. If you're doing well on your minimum wage job. then go to the next level and
get a second job. Once you get that going, max yourself out with college courses. You'll be so
busy making honest money and improving yourself that you won't think about drug dealing.

HOLIDAY S E STORES nd POEMS


The Three Kings
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


S Three Kings came riding from far away,
Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar,:.
Three Wise Men out of the East were they.
And they travelled by night and they slept by da)
For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star
The star was so beautiful, large and clear,
That all the other stars of the sky.
Became a white mist in the atmosphere,
And by this the) knew that the coming was near
Of the Prince foretold in the prophecy .
Three caskets they bore on their saddle-bows,
Three caskets of gold with golden keys;
.Their robes were of crimson silk with rows
Of bells and pomegranates and furbelows,
Their turbans like blossoming almond-trees.
And so the Three Kings rode into the West,
-Through the dusk of the night, over hill and dell
And sometimes they nodded with beard on breas
And sometimes talked, as they paused.to rest,
With the people they met at some wayside well.
"Of the child that is born," said Baltasar,
"Goodpeople. Ipray you, tell us the news,
For we in the East have seen his star,
And have riddenfast, and have ridden far,
To find and worship the King of the Jews."
And the people aiisvered, "You ask in vain;
We know of no King but Herod the Greatl"
They thought the Wise Men were men insane,
As they spurred their horses across the plain,
Like riders in haste, who cannot wait.
S A nd when they came to Jerusalem,
Herod the Great, who had heard this thing,
Sent for the Wise Men and questioned them;
And said, "Go down unto Bethlehem.
And bring me tidings of this new king."
So they rode awiay': and the star stood still,
The only one in the grey of morn:
Yes, it stopped --it stood still of its own free will,
Right over Bethlehem on the hill,
The city of David, where Christ was born.
And the Three Kings rode through the gate and
the guard,
Through the silent street, till their horses turned
And neighed as they entered the great inn-yard;
S But the windows were closed, and the doors weri
Barred,
S And only a light in the stable burned.
And cradled there in the scented hay,
SIn the air made sweer by the'breath ofkine,
The little child in the manger lay,
The child, that would be king one day
S Of a kingdom not human, but dine.


His mother Atar, of Nazareth
Sat watching beside his place of rest.
Watching the even flow ol his breath.
For the .oy of life and the terror of death
SWere mingled together in her breast.
: Their, laid their offerings at his feet.
The gold was their tribute to a King.
The frankincense. with its odor sweet.
Wasfor the Priest. the Paraclete,
The myrrh for the body's bunring.
And the mother wondered and boweder her head.
SAnd sat as still as a state of stone.
Her heart was troubled vet comfobrted.
Remembering what the Angel had said ,
Of an endless reign and ofDavid's throne.
Then the Kings rode out of the ciny gate,
With a clatter of hoofs in proud array;
But theiv went not back to Herod the Great,
For their knei\' his ,malice and feared his hate,
And returned to their homes by another way.


Christmas Bells
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their.old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come.
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Ofpeace on earth, good-will to men!
1711. ringing, singing on its way
S The world revolved from night to day
,A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
f peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound.
SThe Carols drowned
Ofpeace on earth, good-will to men! _-
And in despair I bowed my head; .
'There is no peace on earth, 'I said;
'For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Ofpeace on earth, goed-will to men!'

Reaching out to youth is a key component
of my Seeds of Change: Growing Great
Neighborhoods initiative. The short-term aspects
of the program, such as stepping up public safety
and eliminating environments that encourage
crime, are important. But, engaging our young
people may well be the most vital thing it accom-
plishes over time.
The newest youth-oriented initiative to be
implemented under the Seeds of Change umbrella
is Peace Jam, an international 'educational pro-

including the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela.

Jacksonville's Mayor, John
Peyton,

des young people in adopting
tegies to reduce violence and
note peace.
Earlier this month, we
:ed off Peace Jam in
:sonville with Peace Slam 2006-
Rally for Peace. .Nearly 400
:sonville teens joined the fun
will now have an opportunity to
a Peace Jam group in their
;hborhood. The goal is to. have
east one Peace Jam group in


each of the 19 City Council districts.
All Jacksonville teenagers
between the ages of 14 and 18 from public and:
private schools are invited and encouraged to
take part in Peace Jam,, and be a part of making
Jacksonville a better, more peaceful city for us ri
all. All it takes is a couple hours a month and the ;. G --
willingness to be a part of positive change. In N I
return, participants will be exposed to curricu- N -
lum on conflict resolution, character education, reading. writing, social studies,
math, science, art, leadership skills and research techniques.
Peace Jam will utilize the talents of our youth to help create safe schools,
homes and neighborhoods. These efforts will help to reduce crime, enhance our city
and give our young people the skills and experience to grow into active citizens and
community leaders. :
We are also looking for adult volunteers to serve as facilitators for each
Peace Jam group. If you or someone you know is interested in joining Peace Jam as
either a member or a facilitator, please visit www.jaxkids.net or
ww\.myspaecopea.copeaceslamjax or call the Jacksonville Children's Commission

"Fitness Together"

Having Trouble Sticking To Your Resolutions? Fitness Together's Experts Share
Tips To Help You Stay On Track!
Florida (November 27, 2006) Personal trainers at Fitness Together, the world's largest personal training organiza-
tion, know how difficult it is to stick to a plan especially when that plan comes in the form of a New Year's resolution. That
is why the private one-on-one training sessions offered at Fitness Together training studios are so effective the personal rela-
tionship between the client and trainer is a powerful motivator.
Fitness Together's trainers develop individually customized, results-oriented programs to help clients achieve their
goals through weight and resistance training, muscular endurance, muscular training and nutrition counseling. 4
Trainers also guide clients in weight loss management. "Our trainers hold each of their clients accountable to them-
selves. Each client is required to keep daily journals to track their fitness and nutrition goals. Thousands of people across the
country have seen incredible results as a result of our trainers' maximum focus on each client," said Forrest Walden, Area Director of Florida for Fitness Together.
Mr. Walden shares the following tips to stay on track with your New Year's resolutions:
*Surround yourself with a support group who knows what you are trying to accomplish. That group will encourage you to do and be -- your best.
*Schedule your workouts into your day just like you would a meeting. If a workout is already part of your schedule, you will be more likely to keep the appointment.
*Instead of setting one large goal, set up smaller goals that are both realistic and attainable. Small accomplishments along the way will feel significant and give you
more confidence to go after the next one.
*Post your goals where you can see them every day. Too often people write their goals down, tuck them away and never look at them again. Put them on the fridge, in :
your office or your car. They will be gentle reminders to take steps toward accomplishing them.
*After each workout, write down how you feel, what you did for weight training, how much cardio you did and what you ate. Writing it down helps you stick to the plan,
Keeping a journal will help you feel accountable.
*Find a workout buddy (co-worker, spouse, child, etc.) so that you are both holding each other accountable. A workout buddy will continually encourage you. You can
also hire a personal trainer who understands the difficulties in sticking to a plan and can help you keep motivated ,
and performing at your absolute best.
*Ask friends and family for workout clothes, shoes or accessories as gifts for special occasions, like a birth-
day or other celebratory holiday. You will feel a sense of obligation to use these items. You can then let those friends
know how their gift'helped you reach your fitness goals or maintain your resolutions.
Share your resolutions with others friends, family, co-workers, etc. It's a great first step to making your goals a real- C A P T IO N S
ity. And remember to celebrate your successes by sharing your accomplishments with this same group of people. :

COMMUNITY LEADER, CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHTER
Robert D. McGregor, Jr. died on November 4, 2006. He had just celebrated his 86th birthday four days earlier with his wife Louise, daughter Robyn
McGregor and son Franklin McGregor.
Robert D. McGregor, Jr. was a strong civil rights activist. Even though he lived in Arlington, Virginia, he was a weekly reader of The Florida Star
Newspaper and would always critique and praise its contents. His wife, Louise Hill McGregor was a resident of Gainesville, FL and a Home Economic
teacher before their marriage.
Mr. McGregor's fighting for rights spirit started on Saturday, October 30, 1920 in Dayton, Ohio as the first born son of Robert Drake McGregor, Sr.
and his wife, Leola Pierce McGregor. The McGregors had already enjoyed four daughters and he was told from the beginning that he must carry his
family's name with honor and dignity. He felt that was an honor, and therefore did so with pride.
In 1938, Robert finished Dunbar High School in Dayton and upon graduation, enrolled at Hampton University. While at Hampton, he was drafted
in the U. S. Army and served in the Army Air Corp 859 Engineer Battalion in the European Theater. He also met his life-time companion at Hampton.
One of his friends at Hampton was Jacksonville's Dr. Wendall Holmes, who participated in the McGregor's wedding.
After receiving his honorable discharge from the U. S. Army in 1944, McGregor moved to Arlingon, Virginia and enrolled in Howard University
and the Lewis Hotel Training School where he studied hotel and hospital administration.
Growing up in the church, he had a strong belief that Jesus Christ had died for our rights and therefore, we deserved our civil rights in this country.
This belief and determination to see "civil rights" for all, led him to join the Washington, D. C.'s branch of the NAACP in 1948. At that time, he was
Robert Drake McGregor, Jr. appointed Chairman of the Political Action Committee. Robert found the dynamics of the District of Columbia's community activism and political
environments to be unique in comparison with those of the other, then fifty states. During the late 1950s, "Home
Rule" was the number one political issue as well as the top priority on the civil rights agenda for. Washington. D. C.
which would allow the residents of the city the ability to vote and have their own elected officials. Robert D.
McGregor, Jr. was at the forefront of this battle.
After "Home Rule" passed, McGregor realized that his home town across the river, was not meeting the needs of
or serving all of its residents equally. He therefore joined the Arlington NAACP branch where he served as presi-
dent for eight years, vice president, fund raiser and on many committees and other leadership positions. His passion
for the moral and respectful treatment of his children extended into the community and covered those he knew as
well. He fought an Arlington school busing plan that.transported only black students away from their neighborhoods
in effort to achieve racial balances in schools.
Robert McGregor's -service to community -included his membership and strong participation at Peoples
Congregational United Church of Christ, including the Musical Aide Society and leading the annual NAACP mem-
bership drive.
,a McGregor retired in 1985 from the Natiornal Institute of Health and extended his activities in the community to
include chairman of the youth committee of the Veterans Memorial YMCA, president of the Arlington Conummunity

SECOND HARVEST SCORES BIG

THANKS TO JAGUARS FOOD DRIVE


Community's Donations Help Second
Harvest Food Bank Replenish Empty
Shelves; Friendly Wager Between
CEOs Results In $17,000 Bonus For
Charity


J AC K
SONVILLE, Fla.
(November 22, 2006) -
More than momentum
and a shot to make the
playoffs was on the line
at Monday night's
Jaguars-Giants game.
The Jaguars' 26-10 win
was worth $17,000 -
the value of a semi-
trailer full of canned
goods. headed to the
Second Harvest Food
Bank the payoff to a
friendly challenge
between Peter Lynch,
Winn-Dixie president
and CEO, and Jaguars
owner and CEO
Wayne Weaver.
Lynch happily
presented a check to
the food bank's direc-
tor, Patrick Colley, on
Tuesday. "That's a bet
I didn't mind losing,"
remarked Lynch.
The challenge
was .made Oct. 30,
when the Jaguars
launched the team's
12th annual food drive.
At the time, the food
bank's supplies were at
their lowest level in six
years, and with the hol-
idays approaching, the
need was great. Winn-
Dixie donated a
42,000-pound truck-
load of food to launch
the drive.
Results of the
drive, which continued
through Nov. 13, were
announced prior to
Monday night's nation-
ally-televised game.
The food drive easily
outpaced previous
efforts, thanks to the
generosity of Winn-
Dixie customers and
Jaguars fans. First
Coast area residents
donated 96,600
pounds of canned
goods at Winn-Dixie
stores during the two-
week period, as well as
at Alltel Stadium when
the Jaguars played the
Houston Texans on
Nov. 12.

Monetary donations
made by fans during
the Texans game
helped purchase
another 75,000 pounds
of food. With Lynch's
donation, more than
213,000 pounds of food
was donated enough
to feed more than
100,000 people.
"This food drive
came at a time when
we were facing a cri-
sis," said Colley. "The
results are a real bless-
ing. We want to thank
the community, Winn-
Dixie and the Jaguars
for their concern in
helping those less for-
tunate throughout
Northeast Florida."
The mission of
the LSS Second
Harvest Food Bank is
to feed hungry people
by soliciting and judi-
ciously distributing food
and grocery products
and to educate the pub-
lic about the nature of,
and solutions to, the
problems of hunger.
There are two basic
components: rescuing
surplus food to redis-
tribute to local non-
profit organizations
serving the hungry and
providing nutritious
meals and healthy
snacks to children from
low-income families
through community-
based Kids Cafe sites.
Last year, the Food
Bank provided more
than 7.5 million pounds
of food through almost
400 different member
agencies. For every $1
donated, the Food
Bank provides $8 worth
of food to the hungry.
Win n Dixie
Stores, Inc., is one of
the nation's largest
food retailers. Founded
in 1925, the company is
headquartered in
Jacksonville, FL. For

defeated the New York Giants in a nationally-televised
game on Monday. The Jaguars won, 26-10, and Lynch
presented the check the following day in front of a semi
loaded with food. With Lynch's donation, the Jaguars'

SCarolina's Women
Basketball Rookie
of the week for
SI ACC led their respec-

finishes last week.
Larkins helped the
Ssecond-ranked Tar
Heels obtain the
S Rainbow Wahine
Classic crown in
Honolulu, Hawaii,
going 3-0 over the

just as many steals.

Mayor Herenton Won Over Smokin' Joe
Mayor Willie Herenton stepped into the ring with for-
mer heavyweight champion Joe Frazier.
The mayor, a 66-year-old former amateur boxer, and
62-year-old "Smokin' Joe" fought a three-round exhibi-
tion bout Thursday for charity. The mayor won.
More than 30 years removed from his legendary
1975 battle against Muhammad Ali in the Philippines,
Frazier said he had no intention "to do too much dam-
age on the mayor."
"He don't play too rough, then I won't play too
rough," he told WMC-TV as he arrived at the Memphis
airport Tuesday night. Was it rough?
Frazier, who held the heavyweight title from 1968
to 1973 and retired from boxing in 1976, runs a gym in
Philadelphia and stages occasional exhibition bouts.
The exhibition at the Peabody Hotel in downtown
Memphis raised money for the city's drug court, which
offers rehabilitation services to drug abusers as an
alternative to jail.
Herenton turned to boxing while growing up in
poverty in Memphis and credits the sport with building
the self-confidence that helped him become the city's
first black mayor. He's now in his fourth term.
The mayor, who helped bring the Lennox Lewis-
Mike Tyson heavyweight title fight to Memphis in 2002,
had fun promoting Thursday's match.
"If they can see me at this age, can they imag-
ine what I was like in my teens? I was awesome," he
said with a laugh. And he was because he won!

Your Weekly Horoscope IRS

December 2, 2006 December 8, 2006 Undelivered Refunds-Florida
(See page C3 for names)


(Aries-March 21st and
April 19th) The Sun is ris-
ing on a fascinat-
ing future at the
start of the week.
You have a
bizarre sense of double
vision: You see yourself in
the present and, simultane-
ously, you see where you
want to be. Being alone is
okay with you. Tuesday and
Wednesday you hit an emo-
tional speed bump -- your
dreams are rich and confus-
ing, and even the simplest
tasks seem impossible -- but
Thursday and Friday mark a
return to form. Someone
blurts out a wild idea and
you seize it. People natural-
ly want to follow your lead -
more people every day.
You're getting used to this.
The weekend's packed.
(Taurus-April 20th and
May 20th) The static elec-
tricity might become
unbearable on Monday.
Everyone's inadvertently
shocking everyone else. In a
different mood you'd find
this funny, but
now it's driv-
ing you crazy.
The best thing
to do? Spend
Tuesday and Wednesday
around people who wouldn't
drive you nuts if they tried,
people whose every gesture
you anticipate. In other
words, people you adore.
Thursday and Friday, don't
jump head-first (or feet-first,
for that matter) into any-
thing. Take your time. Test
the waters first. This week-.
end is magical and decadent.
(Gemini-May 21st and
June 21st) You're thinking
like a serious philosopher on
Monday -- although you're
rr.ing not to bore
anyone. You like
being around peo-
ple who are noth-
ing like you, who don't see
things the same "ay. who've
had different 'experiences
than you've had. You enjoy a
fresh perspective. Tuesday.
and Wednesday you're itch-.
ing for a change. (Some new
clothes? A new career?)
Thursday and Friday, put
yourself in the path of your
most outspoken friends.
You'd like to hear their take
on things. Communication
is a theme this weekend.
too, but it's so busy and
chaotic you can barely hear
a word anyone's say ing.
(Cancer-June 22nd and
July 22nd) The disconnect
you sense on Monday is par-
ticularly annoy-
ing because you
can tell that this :-
other person is
in the mood to
talk; you're just striking out
on the sped fics. You want to
talk about how you feel;
they want to talk about
money.,rIt isn't until Tuesday
and Wednesday that you feel
in-tune .with others. All
week long it's important that
you don't get riled up, that
you allow events to take
their course, because take
their course the \\will. Think
of Thursday and Friday as
an exercise in taking your
time and thinking before
speaking -- a good \warm-i.p
for your social "weekend.


(Leo-July 23rd and August
22nd) James
Joyce once said,
'Nations have
their ego, indi-


just like individuals.' This
resonates on Monday
because the power struggle
at hand seems to have the
gravity of international con-
flict, even though it's really
just about you and someone
else not seeing eye to eye.
Tuesday and Wednesday,
rather focus on whether or
not you're in the right, focus
on what others are saying.
Just listen. See what you
learn. Thursday and Friday
are full of plain lessons in
odd packages, but this week-
end you're shamelessly radi-
ant.
(Virgo-Aughst 23rd and
September 22nd) You are
brilliant at finding ways to
be constructive even as
you're cleaning -
house, redoing the
plan, experiment-
ing. You can change
the tires on a car while it's
still moving. This is what
Monday is like. Don't be
surprised if on Tuesday or
Wednesday, someone offers,
'Um, can we pull the car
over and then finish chang-
ing the tires?' Not a bad idea,
when you think about it; no
reason to be combative.
Sadly, on Thursday and
Friday, almost every interac-
Stion you have is combative.
But you leave' work happy
on Friday. You have a sense
this weekend's going to be
good. You're right.
(Libra-September 23rd
and October 22nd) 'Love
is life,' wrote the Russian
novelist Leo
Tolstoy and it
rings true. It's
hard to think of a
better definition of life,
especially this week.-
Monday is more loaded with
syrupy sweetness than a
stack of pancakes. Tuesday
and Wednesday return you
to your daily routine, full of
minor victories, everyday
setbacks. etc.. but the end of
the week is (once again)
completely about relation-
ships. Including romantic
ones. You are more in con-
trol of your life than it may
seem on Thursday and,
Friday, and more at ease
than \ ou've been in ages this
weekendd .
(Scorpio-October 23rd
and November 21st) 'A
family in harmon \\% ill pros-
per in every-
thing.' so says a
Chinese
pro\erb. By this
rule, there's not
much prosperity on the hori-
zon at the start of the week,
because matters in the fami-
ly realm are anything but
harmonious. Tuesday and
Wednesday you view the
current difficulties as an
: opportunity to be creative, to
dream up a golden-bullet
solution; but this is not a car-
toon. The truth is, every-
thing' might get worse (on
Thursday and Friday) before
it gets better (this weekend).
Whatever happens, remem-
ber that compromise is a
powerful tool. Use it wisely.
(Sagittarius-November
22nd and
December 21st)
You get things the
first time around on
Monday. Others need the
basics explained again and


again --by which point,
you're totally bored. Think
o4 ways to. occupy your
mind while everyone else


overactive mental preoccu-
pation may explain why
you're unable to do very
basic activities -- like eating
without spilling on yourself
-- but Thursday and Friday
you're a superstar in every
way. If someone busts out a
board game, they'd better be
prepared to lose. This week-
end, take. care of some
errands you've been ignor-
ing.
(Capricorn-December
22nd and January 19th)
No matter how flawless a
sales pitch seems [
on Monday, no\\
is probablI not[
the time. (In fact,
the more flawless it seems,
the more wary you should
be.) Tuesday and
Wednesday you're a lot
more interested in creative
projects -- making music,
making art, writing letters to
people -- than in making
money. These activities
draw you out in a way that
feels good right, now.
Thursday and Friday find
you a bit lost in the slow,
fraught dynamics of a fami-
ly situation, but Saturday
and Sunday area pleasure
(especially if you do some-
thing outdoorsy).
(Aquarius-January 20th
and February 18th) You
are drawn toward someone
like a moth toward a flame
on Monday -- although
.chances are, this attraction
isn't going to end with you
burning to a crisp. (How hot
could this person be?) There
may or may not be romantic
content to your attraction;
nevertheless, they will be all
you can think about.
Tuesday and Wednesday
find you think-
ing about your-
self (and your
wallet) before
anything else,
but Thursday and Friday
your thoughts 'are rich, epic
and full of people. .This
weekend, someone accuses.
Sou of being eccentric. You
enjoy this accusation..
(Pieces-February 19th
and March 20th) It is
within your nature to over-
commit. You have big
dreams and you don't want
to say no to anyone else's
dreams either, but mean-
While you have a family and
a job and a social life and --
well, when do you expect all
this saving-the-world stuff
to get done? Tuesday and
Wednesday, reconsider your
priorities. It's important
schedule time for sitting in
movie theaters and thinking
about nothing at all.
Thursday and
Friday are
upside down and
,, bizarre, but the
\weekend is
extremely normal. And
relaxing. And full of love:..

China Shavers Brings Her Big Apple Style To Hollywood
Photos 2006 by Andre' B. Murray/www. bernagency.photoreflect. cor


'4FLORIDA`STRir

By Rych McCain,
feedbackrych@
sbcglobal.net
She is physically petit
in size, but she has a dar-
ing spirit that is ten feet
tall. She once jumped
out of an airplane with
no skydiving training at
all. Her only prep for the
jump was a quickie
"how to" briefing with a
friend who talked her
into it. She states matter
of factly, "I could have
been killed." Meet
actress China (pro-
nounced Chee-na)
Shavers. She was born
and reared in El Barrio
(Spanish Harlem), in
New York City. Shavers
arrived, in Los Angeles
eight years ago. What
was her initial reaction
to tinsel town? She
quickly replies, "Culture
shock because you could
drive everywhere and
I'm used to taking. the
train and walking any
and everywhere. People
don't really talk to each
other here. They stay in
their cars and go from
point "A" to point "B." It
only took six months for
Shavers to book her first
acting gig, an interna-
tional AT&T commer-
cial.
Then the TV guest


star roles stared happening
i.e., "Beverly Hills
90210," "Any Day Now,"
"The District," "Felicity,"
"ER,". "New York
Undercover" and she land-
ed a series regular role on,
"Sabrina, The Teenage
Witch." How did she get
her start in acting?
"Actually, I don't really
have an acting training
background," she
responds. "I was a trained
classical (ballet) dancer
for years using the Martha
Graham technique. I
moved out here and dated
a lot of people who were
trained actors and learned

Shavers must be doing
something right. Her

Shavers says, "I play
a director, a very. I

OK, everybody's got

and having an affair

There is a tradi-
tional viewpoint that
New York actors
who come from the
theater and live stage
world have an superior
attitude towards--TV and
Film actors in LA because
it does take more acting
"chops" to cut it on stage
than the "take two" when
you mess up in front of a
camera. Shavers responds,
"I think there is a differ-
ence. In New York, weath-
er its actor, singer; the
artists respect the artistry
of art. In Hollywood, I've
noticed (and I haven't
been exposed to everyone
so I can't necessarily say
this is true), but the people
I have been around are
more intoxicated by the
glitz and glamour of it all
and not necessarily the

artistry. So I think that's
the difference. People (in
New York), really like
being an artist and trying
new things while just
thinking out side of the
box. In Los Angeles,
being .sexy and glamn-
orous and knowing the
right people seem to be
more of a priority than
perfecting their craft."
As long as Shavers
stays away from jumping
out of airplanes' unpre-
pared and continues the
path she has carved out
for herself in showbiz,
she will be OK and we
will enjoy seeing more of
her.

HIV/AIDS that exists for
the female partners of men

Casino Royale is based
on the very first novel of
the same title, written and
published in 1953 by lan
Fleming, that introduced
the world to 007 James
Bond. The movie intro-
duces us to a new Bond in
the person of actor Daniel
Craig. Early reports said
that some die hard Bond
fans were not pleased with
Craig's selection to por-
tray the super hero agent,
but his performance
should ease some of those
doubts.
