Recession brings seniors back into job market


By Tariq Osborne
tosborne@miamitimesonline.com
Larry Young is concerned about-Black
seniors, some of whom are re-entering
the workforce during this recession. He
recognizes that many seniors will have
to acquire new job skills if they hope to
compete in today's market.
Young, 57, knows, because he is one
of these seniors, and he credits the Se-
nior Community Service Employment
Program (SCSEP) with getting him back


into the workforce.
Young wishes more
Black seniors would
take advantage, but
thinks he under-
stands why, they _ ,
don't.
"Nobody in the -
Black community Y YOUNG
knows about this," LARRY YOUNG
he said.
SCSEP is a program geared toward
enhancing "employment opportuni-

ties for older Americans and promotes
them as a solution for businesses seek-
ing trained, qualified, and reliable em-
ployees," according to its website. The
program is run by the United States
Department of Labor. It includes both
seminars and classroom instruction.
"It's an outstanding program," says
Young. "Clearly not every senior citizen
can go back in to the workforce, but
it's a great program for those who are
able."
Under the program, participants work

OPINION


A 2 THE MIAMI TIMES AUGU , 2009


BLACKS MUST CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY


LM- I


More Blacks should

consider law enforcement
It is common knowledge that Miami's Black communi-
ties face a multitude of problems.
Gun violence and drugs receive a lot of media atten-
tion. Poverty is another important issue in the Black com-
munity. More important, perhaps, is a pervasive mistrust
of the police. Many Blacks feel that they are targeted by
police unfairly. The case of Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Har-
vard professor, who was arrested from his own home after a
neighbor reported a potential break-in, was not an isolated
one. It is this mistrust that deters people from reporting
crimes to police, thus further encouraging criminals.
How to address this issue? Nothing in life is ever simple-
except when it is.
More Blacks should consider careers in law enforcement.
When a young Black male joins the police force, the im-
pact is at least threefold.
His very presence deters criminal activity in neighbors. If
he was poor, he can expect a rise in his fortunes, as police-
-by most accounts--earn a fair salary.
Most importantly, his neighbors are more likely to trust
someone they've watched grow up. The police department
now has a familiar face.
The mistrust of police officers, inevitably translates into
disdain for Black police officers, but of all places, this should
not be so in Miami.
In Miami, Blacks have a proud history of law enforcement.
The first, and only, Black police precinct in the nation was
established right here in Miami. Lawson E. Thomas, the
first Black Judge in the south since reconstruction presided
right here in Miami as well.
The point is, that wearing the badge of law enforcement is
something that a Black Miamian could justifiably take pride
in. They would be advancing a legacy.
Whether fair or unfair, many Blacks harbor a distrust of
local law enforcement. But if more of us could set aside our
resentments and make the effort to change it from within,
all would benefit.

HIV/AIDS staggering

in the Black community
"Every 91/2 minutes another person in Amer-
ica becomes infected with HIV. That's some-
one's brother, sister, best friend, father or mother."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the
nation's highly respected public health agency of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, introduced this
message at a kickoff for its new Act Against AIDS campaign.
"This message denotes how deadly the disease can-be," says
Marva Smith Battle-Bey, president qf the National Coalition
of 100 Black Women ,(NCBW). "Since the implementation of
our first HIV/AIDS program in 1990," she said, "HIV/AIDS
cases have been on the rise among Black men and women,
especially the women. We, want to finish what we started, un-
til reduction in HIV/AIDS among Black women has acceler-
ated 'at the desired rate."
Over the years, Coalition chapters across the country have
participated as part of our national program effort to bring
awareness of and attention to this major crisis in �the Black
community. In 2004, for instance, we declared October 3-9
as NCBW HIV/AIDS Awareness Week and decided to continue
our national effort through National Black HIV/AIDS Aware-
ness and Information Day, February 7, 2005. A partnership
followed soon after the latter initiative with the U.S.
Department of'Health and Human Services and the National
Black Leadership Commission in a mobilization effort to en-
courage Black women and girls to get educated, get involved,
get tested and get real about HIV/AIDS. These program ef-
forts served as the catalyst to,exist with the Black AIDS Insti-
tute our first HIV/AIDS conference in December 2005.
With funding and support from CDC in February 2009,
NCBW is continuing its efforts to reduce HIV (human im-
mune deficiency virus) and AIDS (acquired immune deficien-
cy syndrome) in the Black community. We selected 30 NCBW
chapters to participate in the launch of a new CDC program,
the Act Against AIDS Leadership Initiative (AAALI). Guided
by a template developed by the national Program Committee,
24 of them developed their own action plans for the com-
mittee's approval. Of these chapters, 20-Baltimore Metro-
politan, Central Mississippi, Chattanooga, Greater Cleveland,
Delaware, Indianapolis, Long Island, Los Angeles, Manhat-
tan, Memphis, Metropolitan Atlanta, Milwaukee, Greater New
Orleans, Northern Virginia, Oakland Bay Area, Polk Coun-
ty (FL), Sacramento, San Antonio, Suffolk County (NY) and
Tampa - have been approved by the committee and con-
firmed thus far.
The approved plans, most of which target young women
aged 15-35, include workshop activities, evaluation forms,
printed materials on referrals for testing from health depart-
ments and community partners. Project activities will occur
over a six-month period, ending in August 2009, as more
than 100 organizations serve as our community partners.
Workshop topics range from basic facts such as the causes of
HIV and AIDS to conspiracy theories to well-known stigmas.
In addition, diagnostic and treatment experts in the area of
HIV/AIDS discuss such topics as prevention, testing and com-
munity resources. Attendees also view a video of two women
- one living with HIV and one living with AIDS, followed by a
panel discussion that encourages attendees' participation in
an effort to break down barriers.
"One of the strengths of our program," said Michele McNeill-
Emery, former president of the Baltimore Metropolitan Chap-
ter, "is the willingness of chapter members to listen. We asked
our student-attendees whether our program could offer more.

Black community: The center of Miami-Dade health-c

Dear Editor, expected to lose $56 million my community is the abun-


Miami Dade County has an
astounding 600,000 thousand
uninsured people with an esti-
mated 80 percent who work but
cannot afford health coverage.
A person does not have to be
a rocket scientist to know that
many of the uninsured reside
in Liberty City, Wynwood, Mod-
el City, Brownsville and Little
Haiti. To add to this madness,
the Jackson Health' system is


this year and $168 million next
year. Why? One of the main rea-
sons is the large percentage -of
the 600,000 thousand, mostly
poor, people getting "free care"
in the emergency rooms. Al-
though an initiative launched
by the County and Blue Cross
and Blue Shield of Florida, Mi-
ami Dade Blue, is aimed at ad-
dressing the problem more has
to be done.
One thing I have noticed in


dance of "cardiac arrest cen-
ters" or restaurants that serve
a combination of grease, flour,
and fat masquerading as a
meal. Now over time, an entire
community whose diet includes
these three killers can expect
many trips to the hospital. In
some cases, people will check
in but won't check out. Preven-
tion and intervention will not
only lessen the financial burden
hospitals are feeling but en-


Black people stop complaining, start working


Dear Edito-,

I have lived in this com-
munity for almost 20 years
so when I heard about the
County budget cuts, I was
not upset nor dismayed. One
thing that I learned years ago
is we (the Black community)
need to stop depending on the'


government to build our com-
munity. This is where we live.
Mayor Carlos Alvarez does not
-live here so how can we expect
him to care about what hap-
pens here. The Black commu-
nity is always the one waiting
for the local government to
tend to us but why? We have
to take care of ourselves.


Marlins Stadium not coming


Dear Editor,

I am writing to you about the
article "Coming Together: Mar-
lins Stadium, Where will Black
businesses fit in?" As this Mar-
lin Stadium saga continues,
it has a life of it own now! We
will continue to monitor how to

all odds to build this private
venue from the citizens and
taxpayers of Miami-Dade not
allowed to vote on this 2.4 bil-
lion dollar project. Citizens

and the privilege to vote with-
out the backing of our City/
County tone-deaf Commis-
sioners to say so.

in this case lives are enriched

5000 Role Models need to do background checks


Dear Editor,

The July 22 issue in The
Miami Times showed a recipi-
ent of the 5000 Role Models
of Excellence scholarship with
his mom, who is a teacher.
Her son had received a $8000
scholarship to attend college. I


thought the 5000 Role Models
was for at-risk young men. The
mother of the young man is a
Special-Ed teacher and she
teaches at a college. She said
herself she could not qualify
at many places due to her in-
come. How is it then that the
5000 Role Models would not


look at her income? At-risk
usually means low-income stu-
dents from bad areas, poverty
and etc. Even if a child has no
father in the home and needs
a role model doesn't mean the
child is poor.
This woman of the winner
I'm sure lives in a decent (nice)


area making good money.
Seems like she could afford to
send her son to college but de-
cided to let 5000 Role Models
do it for her instead which is
wrong.

Are police reality shows good or bad for Miami?


MARK TRIMMINGS, 54
Minister, Miami


The fact that
the shows are
filmed here
isn't either
good or bad for
Miami.
It all de-
pends upon
how they de-


pict the story. If it's a one-sided
show, ("Cops," for example, is
very one-sided), then it gives
off a negative image of the com-
munity. If the show just retells
events as they occurred, then
it's good.

ELIJAH GRANT, 23
Student and Archer, Miami


Police real-
ity shows are
bad in any
context. They
distort think-
ing and also
give children a
chance to pick
up bad ideas.
When chil-


dren see people who look like
their friends and neighbors--in
neighborhoods that look like


theirs--being . consistently ar-
rested and always committing
crimes, it tells them that that's
the outcome they can expect for
themselves.
Video games don't help in this
matter either, like "Grand Theft
Auto" for example. It really just
all focuses on negative think-
ing.

JANE ALLEN, 45
Customer Service, Miami

The shows
are a good , .- .
idea. They .
don't make
the city look ' ..
bad, they just
tell the truth.
People watch
them for the
same reasons
that they watch the news. I
think these shows make us
more aware of what's going on,
so it's a good thing really. I know
things like that are controver-
sial, but if we really cared, we'd
make the necessary changes.

REGINALD SIMON, 23
Pharmacy Tech and Student, Miami

Both. They don't really show


the best of the Mb,
neighborhood
outsiders, so _
maybe they
aren't great for
tourism. But _
on the other
hand they . ...
build aware-
ness of the
crime going on here. The crews
also spend money to film here,
so in these times that's a bonus
too.
If you think about it, there's
crime all over the world, so I re-
ally don't see the problem. Again,
we do need the money. So they
might as well shoot here.

ANDRE LOTT, 50
Hospital Worker, Miami

They're bad. They don't make
the commu- ...-* --
nity look good. I
They make
the police look -; 11"4; *'
good at the ex- .
pense of the ' ... c
community.
It's the police L
themselves
who are the
problem. Those shows show the
police speaking to people dis-


respectfully and just .treating
people however they want, but
still make them look like the
good guys.
They show community mem-
bers doing bad things, but they
don't show all the cover ups
when the police themselves do
something wrong.

DARLENE CARMICHAEL, 20
Student, Miami

I don't think the shows make
the city look
bad. The
peoplemake
it look bad.
They don't
show any-
thing that
didn't, hap-
pen, so if
people re-
ally don't
want Miami to look bad, they'd
stop doing the things that get
shown. I personally don't have
a problem with the shows
filming here, and if it both-
ered people as much as they
pretend, they'd behave differ-
ently.


'We don't believe it, but there's a rumor going around town
that Rep. Kendrick Meek is giving second thoughts to his
U.S. Senate run next year. Stay tuned.

And what is this story we are hearing about State Rep'. of
District 109 James Bush III thinking about running for the
Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Frederica S. Wilson, while
Bernadine Bush, wife of Rep. Bush goes after his seat.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served notice this. week
not,to mess with her husband, Bill. She was clearly irritated
by a question on Monday when a Congolese University stu-
dent asked for her husband's thinking on an international
matter. "My husband is not Secretary of State, I am," Clin-
ton replied.

Florida A & M Rattlers are justifiably proud of Jackson-
ville's Bob Hayes who became a star football player and
track before being drafted as a wide receiver by the Dallas
Cowboys and later played with the San Francisco 49ers. He
was drafted as a future pick by the Cowboys in 1964 (sev-
enth round, 88ft overall). Born: Dec. 20, 1942. Died: Sept.
18, 2002.
Hayes earned the title as the world's fastest human after
winning two gold medals in the 1964 Olympics. For his ca-
reer, Hayes averaged 20 yards a catch and had 71 receiving
touchdowns, which remains a franchise record.

Many older Miamians were sorry to learn Sunday of the
death of former Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Leon-
ard Britton who died at 78 in Los Angeles. Britton ran the
system efficiently during the toughest years of 1980--1987
when riots forced the schools to close and the Mariel boat-
lifts brought thousands of children all at once to Miami's
shores.

Some residents in Overtown are complaining because
"What's Cooking in Overtown" is being held not in Overtown
but in Jungle Island on Watson Island. They say they will
start a push to stage the August 21 event at the Lyric The-
atre next year.

Too many guns. This fact was vividly portrayed in Opa-
locka this week when Stanley Raphael, 16, was charged with
manslaughter with a firearm for allegedly killing 18-year-old
Caesar Romero Erwin, Jr., with an Al-47 rifle reportedly
borrowed from Raphael's 21-year-old cousin. Stay tuned..

Many seniors need additional job training

paid the highest of Federal,
State or local minimum wage,
or the prevailing wage. They
are placed in a wide variety of
community service activities at
non-profit and public facilities,
including day-care centers, se-
nior centers, schools and hos-
pitals.
According to Terry Somoza
who directs (SCSEP) for Miami-
Dade County, the program is
very popular. "Most days we


have people coming in for it,"
she said. "If you're just look-
ing for work quickly, then the
program isn't for you," she
said. "We offer a broad range, of
training opportunities, and we
pay you $7.25 an hour while
you're being trained," she said.
"We subsidize up to 1300 hours
per year part-time, the goal is
that they eventually find non-
subsidized work," she said.
According to Young, this is
what is unique about the pro-
gram. "It is more than simple
job placement," he said. The


person's pay comes directly
from the federal government,
rather than the employer or
agency. Young believes this is
the program's greatest advan-
tage. "The best thing about the
program is that the participat-
ing employer doesn't have to
pay anything. For those se-
nior citizens who want to build
up their skills, it's a fantastic
program. But I've never heard
anything of it in the Black com-
munity," he said. Applicants
for the program must be unem-
ployed and make less than 125


percent of the government's of-
ficial poverty levels.
Florida currently has 3,399
SCSEP positions, of which 692
are state positions and 2,707
are national positions. Miami-
Dade County has startling
unemployment figures, with a
June 2009 unemployment rate
of 11.3 percent.

pating in SCSEP should con-

King: You are tomorrow's leaders


By Sandra J. Charite
scharite@miamitimesonline.comr

Legendary boxing promoter
Donald "Don" King surprised
a group of the students at the
Belafonte Tacolcy Center in
Liberty City on Friday. Known
for his outrageous hairstyle,
King read the book, "Shop Talk"
to the students after being en-
tertained by the students with
song and dance.
Directed by Alison Austin,
the students are all a part of
the Freedom School Master's
program which provide enrich-
ment and motivation to the.stu-
dents.
"You are tomorrow's leaders,"
he said to the students. "I en-
courage you to stay motivated
in your education and press


forward because the doors are
already open for you."
King was amazed to hear the
students read 80 books for the
summer.
"You are great and unstop-
pable," he said.
King shared with the students
that he .lid attend his great
friend, the late Michael Jack-
son, funeral last month and he
is still mourning his death.
In his lifetime, King has
successfully promoted many
prominent names in the boxing
world that include Muhammed
Ali, Mike Tyson, George Fore-
man, Evander Holyfield, Julio
Cesar -Chavez, Felix Trinidad
and Larry Holmes.
City of Miami Commissioner
Michelle Spence-Jones also at-
tended the event.

Dispose of your

household waste the

RIGHT way!
Illegal dumping is a serious environmental crime. Piles of illegally-
dumped hazardous materials, auto parts, construction debris and old
furniture are often found in neighborhoods and remote areas of the
community.
Residents can do their part by disposing of trash the proper way using
one of these options.
All County residents can:
* Visit a Home Chemical Center for the legal and safe disposal of
household chemicals like paints, pesticides, solvents, fluorescent
bulbs and used electronic waste.
Miami-Dade County Solid Waste customers can:
* Schedule a bulky waste pickup. Call 3-1-1 or go online at
www.miamidade.gov/dswm.
* Visit a Neighborhood Trash & Recycling Center for disposal of
household trash and yard debris.
If you live in a city, contact your municipal solid waste or public works
. department for disposal options.
For more information, visit www.miamidade.gov/dswm.
To report illegal dumping, call 3-1-1.

Clinton, Pierre-Louis keynote


speakers at Haitian conference


A year after devastating storms, Haiti is still in the rebuilding stages


By Sandra J. Charite
- scharite@miamitimesonline. corn
Less than two months after
being named Special Envoy
for Haiti, former United States
President Bill Clinton shared
his concerns and vision for Hai-
ti at the second annual "Hai-
tian Diaspora Unity Congress"
conference held at the Trump
International Beach Resort in
Sunny Isles Beach on Sunday.
Moderated by local Dr. Ru-
dolph Moise, Chairman of Hai-
tian Diaspora Unity Congress,
the end of the four-day confer-
ence, where Haitian and Hai-
tian-American leaders through-
out the United States gathered
to discuss the Haiti's challenges
and form a unified plan of ac-
tion to help the devastating
country.
"The more involved you are,
the better the odds get, so do
not be deterred," Clinton said. "
If you are doing something now,
try to do more of it."
Last year, Haiti was hit by a


food crisis, back-to-back iur-
ricanes, floods and the collapse
of two schools, resulting in the
deaths of thousands and dev-
astating damage to the nation's
infrastructure.
Clinton said the damage of
the storms consisted of 8Q, per-
cent of the water which is, why
it is crucial that the infrastruc-
ture of Haiti is rebuilt.
"We need to work to help; Haiti
withstand a storm," said Clin-
ton.
He expressed the need for
more jobs to be created in the
country, in turn creates a dom-
ino effect in the crime rate.
"Crime rates dropped when
individuals received jobsi," he
said.
In his 30 years of visiting
Haiti, Clinton believed that now
was the "best chance" to assist
Haiti in their needs before it
was too late.
"Every single day a child is
hungry; a parent comes home
without a job;' a mother, dies in
child-birth, a community is up-


rooted by a storm, the window
of ':pp':.rtLrrit'. '.e have today
close s a little more," Clinton
said.

RESHAPING HAITI'S IMAGE
Haitian Prime Minister Mi-
chele Pierre-Louis also joined
Clinton on stage as a guest
speaker at the conference.
Pierre-Louis spoke to the aiu-
dience, who consisted of pre-
dominately Haitians, in Creole
and shared sentiments on how
Haiti can progress.
Pierre-Louis feels that the
world-including Haitians and
Haitian-Americans-needs to
change its views about Haiti
needed for the country to grow
in unity.
"What do you say when you
talk about Haiti? Do you cat-
egorize your fellow Haitians,"
she asked the audience. "Unity
calls for reflection and action to
change."
With the poverty and devas-
tating conditions, Pierre-Louis'
expressed her concerns for the


many Haitians who are fleeing
,'the country for the states.
"Many have left Haiti search-
ing for opportunity only to lose
their lives," she said.
The most recent tragedy in-
volved 200 Haitians whose boat.
capsized off the Turks and Ca-
icos Islands last month. Close
to .120 people were rescued
but authorities reported locat-
'ing 16 bodies and almost 70
immigrants, who had not been
accounted for, were presumed
drowned.
HELP ON THE WAY
Clinton also announced the
following news:
* The Soros Economic Devel-
opment Fund has began the
Haiti Invest Project, which has
obtained an initial commitment
close to $25 million and hopes
to gain a capitalization of $150
million and considering invest-
ments in manufacture, tour-
ism, agriculture, energy, and
housing.

eled with Clinton to Haiti in
July and a former director of

Rotary Club


opens new chapter

Haitian-American president sworn in
Special to the Times
As he was recently sworn in as the new president of the Ror
tary Club of Opa-locka, Bob Metelus reminisced about how, as
a young teacher at Miami Norland High School in 2003, a men-
tor, Dr. Benjamin Cowins told him about the Rotary.
"I thought it was for old people," said Metelus to laughter, ad-
dressing more than 50 people who gathered at the Mahogany
Grille in Miami Gardens for the start of his term. The 31-year-
old Opa-locka resident said his mentor explained that the orga-
nization sponsored student exchanges, including to Brazil.
"I said, Brazil? That got my attention," he said. Metelus said
he returned from the trip a changed person, more focused, and
"amazed at what Rotary can do." The professional and service
organization, founded in 1905 in Chicago by a lawyer, Paul P.
Harris as a series of rotating meetings in the homes of club
members, performs charitable service around the world, build-
ing schools and digging fresh water wells in third world coun-
tries, and supplying holiday meals for seniors, and toys, books,

reading assistance and other help to children in the U.S. The,
organization claims 1.2 million members and more than 32,000
clubs in 200-plus countries worldwide. It is part of a global
partnership dedicated to eradicating polio around the globe by
distributing vaccine to children.
Metelus, a Haitian-American, becomes the youngest person
to take the helm of the chapter founded by the late Rev. Robert
Ingram, Miami's first Black motorcycle officer, who served as
police chief and mayor of the City of Opa-locka, and then as a
member of the Miami-Dade School Board. Metelus, an account
executive for Clear Channel Outdoor, said his challenge will
be to expand the club and continue its mission with Ingram's
legacy.
Among those on hand for the installation were Ingram's wife
and a daughter, who accepted a plaque in Ingram's honor. Also
on hand: the mayors of Opa-locka and Miami Gardens, Joseph
L. Kelley and Shirley Gibson, respectively. Their attendance
marked another change in the club: a year ago it added Miami
Gardens to the original Opa-locka club. Another change: the
club will now meet at the Black-owned Mahogany Grille restau-
rant, rather than at the El Palacio Hotel in Opa-locka.
Both mayors pledged their support to Metelus.
"I will be there every step of the way, supporting you," Gibson
said.
Kelley pledged his support, along with the support of the
city's commission, adding.that some commissioners had in
the past served as officers of the club. Several members of the
original 1995 club also attended the installation of the new
president, including Ozzie Ritchey, Buster McFadden, who-has
served as sergeant at arms since the club's beginning, Hugh
Bryan and fellow former club president Dorothea Domond, and
the club's elder statesman, long-time Opa-locka resident Dave
Pemberton.
While Metelus hopes to retain its "seasoned" members, his
administration is notable for their youth. Out-going president
LaShara Bostic, 32, will serve as treasurer, while 31-year-old
Webber Charles, who coaches an award-winning chess team at
Edison Park Middle School, is Metelus' vice president. Retired
school principal Gwen Coverson will serve as the club secre-
tary.

Participants "and contribu-
tors of this year's Bay Area
Mentors (B.A.M.) Summer
Youth Athletic League were
honored by Miami-Dade Mayor

the award ceremony held at
the Palmetto Bay Village Cen-
ter, students, coaches and
supporters of the program re-
ceived trophies, team pictures,
plaques and other gifts while

ments.
The summer camp was
designed as a mentoring pro-
gram for local youth. From
mid June to late July, 80
participating students would
play basketball twice a week
in eight girls' and boys' teams;
the students attended local
schools Cutler Ridge Middle,
Centennial Middle, Arthur
Mays Middle, and Richmond
Heights Middle. The students
were required to meet certain
criteria in order to participate,
including maintaining a 2.0
grade point average, not miss-
ing more than two games, and
displaying a positive attitude
and sportsman-like conduct
at all times. As they completed
the program they took part in
a play-off tournament where
the girls' and boys' teams from
Centennial Middle School were
crowned champions.
The B.A.M. camp was a col-
laborative effort organized by
Miami-Dade Mayor and Com-
missioners, Miami-Dade Police
Department South District,
Neighborhood Resource Unit,
Cutler Bay Policing Unit, The
Cutler Bay Business Associa-

Are you a Samaritan or a Jew?


. I meditated anew about three
accounts of Samaritans as re-
lated by Jesus in His teachings
to the people. The Samaritans
were a despised group of people
to the Jewish community. The
Samaritans were Jews, but they
had intermarried with other
people, and because they were
considered 'not pure', and their
blood 'tainted', they were os-
tracized by the 'pure' and 'real'
Jews. This sounds a lot like vari-

(Now remember that there were
TEN lepers who were healed). In
the second account that I would
like 'to bring to your attention,
a woman received salvation at
the feet of Jesus while drawing
water from a well. She promptly
told everyone that she saw that
she had met the Messiah, and
invited them to receive the liv-
ing water that she had received
from this unusual Man. In Luke
10, Jesus tells the parable of
the Good Samaritan. I am sure
that you are well familiar with
these verses of scripture. A Sa-
maritan stopped for an injured
man, mended his wounds, and
put him up at a hotel at his own
expense.
The similarity in all three ac-
counts is that in each case,
someone behaved as least ex-
pected. In the account of the ten

lepers, the one who came back
was not a Jew. He was a 'dread-
ed' Samaritan. The Bible does
not say, but perhaps the other
nine were Jews. You would ex-
pect a Jew to thank another
Jew for healing, but certainly
not a Samaritan. You wouldn't
even expect a Jew to bother to
heal a Samaritan. In this case,
the leper nor Jesus behaved as
expected by man. But .they did
two things commanded by God.
Jesus healed the sick, and the
Samaritan praised Him. In the
case of the Samaritan woman
at the well, she was definite-
ly not the type of woman with
whom a good Jewish boy like'
Jesus would bother to associ-
ate, much less, talk to, and of-
fer her salvation. She had three
things going against her accord-
ing to man. She -was a woman,
she was of immoral repute, and

she was a Samaritan. No Jew-
ish priest would have dared
even acknowledged her. Jesus
not only acknowledged her, but
He sat with her, and spent some
time in conversation with her.
The woman was so impressed
with Who she realized that Je-
sus was, that she immediately
went to tell. She told everyone
in her town that she had met
the Messiah and invited them to
meet Him too.
Again, both Jesus and the
woman behaved contrary to
what was expected of them by
man. Jesus spent time with
a loose, immoral, Samaritan
woman. This Samaritan wom-
an ran and spread the Gospel.
Once again, societal norms were
broken for the Gospel's sake. In
the parable of the Good Samari-
tan, again, a lowly, unimport-,
ant Samaritan did a good deed.

What is so interesting and won-
derful about his kindness was
that the expected people did not
perform this act of kindness.
The man who was attacked by
robbers and injured was a Jew.
The people who ignored him and
refused to help him were Jews.
The man who stopped, and paid
for his care was a Samaritan.
Again, people acted contrary to
what was expected. You would
expect a Jew (and minister, no
less) to help anyone, especially
a.fellow Jew. You would not ex-
pect a Samaritan to do so.
What's the moral of these sto-
ries? Well, since' my column is
at an end for this week, may I
invite you to wait until next
week to read it? In fact, don't
wait until next week to meditate
and think about what you think
the Lord is saying to us through
these similar accounts.

Clinton apologizes for America's delay of TPS


CONFERENCE
continued from 9A

the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Administration, has
made a commitment $250,000
to give disaster preparedness
training for women in Haiti.
Witt and his team are sched-
uled to visit Haiti in the next
ten days.
* Desh Deshpande, also
traveled with Clinton, has of-
fered to share technical assis-
tance to expand school feed-
ing in Haiti.
* Rolando Gonzalez Bun-


I


ster of Basic Energy head of
a power company, has offered
to install five windmills in Haiti
which will provide renewable
energy at competitive prices in
the country.
According to Alonzo L. Ful-
gham, acting administrator of
U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID), the U.S.
government has provided $166
million for relief, recovery and
disaster mitigation programs
in Haiti; also, over $300 million
dollars in assistance to support
the national development priori-
ties recognized by the Govern-


I,~ yiE~


ment of Haiti.


TPS NOT FORGOTTEN
Clinton also discussed the
Temporary Protected Status
(TPS), which would allow Hai-
tians to stay legally in the U.S.,
after a decision by U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) earlier this year in which
over 30,000 undocumented Hai-
tians refugees were given final
orders for deportation.
A decision that has caused
outrage within the Haitian com-r
munity but Clinton urged the


* * i va, 14 I


audience that TPS was not for-
gotten by the President Barack
Obama.
'I'm sorry it's "taking so long
but I have to defend the White
House because I've been there.
I know what's happening," said
Clinton. "My guess is that the
administration will do the right
thing."
He continued, "We all know the
enormous burden on Haiti, if the
30,000 people were sent home."
"I urge you all to keep up the
pressure," Clinton. told his
audience. "Do not do it in a
hostile way."

Rihanna requests less-restrictive

court order against Chris Brown
Rihanna has asked that a restraining or-
der be cancelled against Chris Brown that
requires him not to come within 50 yards
of her.
Brown is due in court today (August 6)
in Los Angeles to face sentencing after
pleading guilty to assaulting h is ex - i
girlfriend in February.
"If asked, we will tell the court
that all that's necessary is a
level-one order: That' Brown
not annoy, molest or harass
her," Rihanna's lawyer
Donald Etra told People.
"No stay-away order was
ever requested by Rihanna,
nor did she ever believe it .
was necessary."
He is expected to get five
years probation and 180
days of community labour.
which he would serve in his
home state of Virginia. Brown will
also be required to undergo do-
mestic violence 'classes for a year. A
charge against him for making crimi-
nal threats will'more than likely be
dropped.

BLACKS MUST CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY


V, TUE LMIAM4I TIMlEq AN, 19i-l 9flMR

The founders. Frank Cole-
man, Oscar J. Cooper, Er-
nest E. Just, and Edgar A.
Love. of Sigma Alpha Chap-
ter of Omega Psi Phi Fraterni-
ty, Inc. would've been proud
of their chapter this year
for their great accomplish-
ments starting with Her-
man Dorsett, II., basileus,
Timothy Belcher, records
and seal, Michael McLeod,
keeper of finance and the
membership for support and
carrying out their duties.
The founders established a
National Achievement week
at Howard University
in 1904 and a time to
conduct a summer re-
treat for the brothers
to plan and strength-
en the chapter in the
areas of 'scholarship,
manhood, persever-
ance, and uplift. Fur-
thermore, the retreat CA
was carried out under
the name of Ulysses
G. Horne, who initiated it by
going to Naples, FL. for sev-
eral years and retiring it at
the Omega Activity Center
to include all of the brothers
and their families.
It kick-off last Friday
with a fish fry sponsored by
the newly elected brothers:
Grady Wright, leader, Chris-
topher Barnes, Anthony
Britt, Leon Clark, Darvin
Johnson, Peter Jenkins,
Gerald Jones,, Oneil Morris,
Ransom Carter, Dr. James
Kelly, ADP. The brothers
began to congregate on the
outside, as well as on the in-
side with wives and children
and everyone complimented
the young brothers for the
task of preparing fish so de-
licious.
Even though the broth-
ers stayed late; it did not
impede their being on time
for the first session of the


retreat the fol '
lowing morning
in the samtue loca-
tion. The theme
of the conference
was, "Friend-
ship is essential to the soul."
Headed by Fred Killings, the
input of the youth group
called "Lamplighters" He
also received a standing ova-
tion for taking the group to
Washington, D.C. for an edu-
cational trip and a visit with
President Barrack Obama.
Now, they are getting ready
for 2009-10.
Since planning is
a maj9r part of the
organization, The
National - Achieve-
ment Week report
was brought to the
table by , Belcher,
Chico Arenas,
Thomas Johnson,
1ERS and Nathaniel Rob-
inson III. The event
is scheduled to be
held at Florida Memorial
Banquet Hall, beginning at
3 p.m., Sunday, November
15. Belcher also urged the
brothers to attend meetings
at 7:30 p.m. nightly every
Tuesday.
Stan Allen interjected
that the scholarship commit-
tee will increase the amount
to $6,000.00 and each grad-
uating Lamp be given a cer-
tificate for $100.00, while the
basileus recognized broth-
ers for performing exclu-
sive, tasks, such as Johnny
Stepherson, Darren Bry-
ant, Derrick Love, Thomas
Snowden, Nathaniel Robin-
son, R. T. Fisher, Antho-
ny Simons, Ernest Sidney,
and Matthew Tisdol who
reminded the brothers that
he was seeking State Rep-
resentative District 104 seat
which is currently being boc-
cupied by Yolly Roberson.


Other brothers includ-
ed Wynton Anders, Bobby
Cheatham, Christopher
Benjamin, Basil Binns II,
Justin Bishop, Theodore
Blue Jr., Harold Braynon',
Rodney Bryant Dwone
Burse, Harcourt Clark Sr.,
Theron Clark, Audley Caok-
ley, Nicholas Coleman,
Norman Cox, Donntay Coo-
per, Elston Davis, Johnny
Davis, Harry Dawkins, Bill
Diggs, Herman Dorsett II,
Leslie Gamble and Peter
Harden.


It was ironic to Har-
court Clark Sr. when
Dr. Andrew Forbes
showed him a picture
of him leading the
FAMU Marching 100
as head drum major
back in the 50's. It
stimulated him to re-
flect on the past his-
tory of Coconut Grove PICI
and an opportunity
to be a pianist, along
with being a drum major.
Clark emphasized on
how he missed the oppor-
tunity and, how each time
someone plays the piano,
he wanted to kick his own
behind. Further, he iter-
ated on Thomas Lesley, a
piano teacher, who rode his
bicycle to visit students in
parts of Miami like Liberty
City, Brownsville and Coco-
nut Grove. And, of course,
when Clark saw Lesley com-
ing down the street towards
his home, he took off and left
the neighborhood. Later, he
would hear his mother, Ma-
rie, calling him back home,
but to no avail. He never an-
swered until he saw Lesley
pass near him on his bicycle
heading back to Miami.
Lesley missed Clark
each time he left Miami for
Coconut Grove, but he had.
the opportunity not to miss
Norman, Sydney, and Win-
ifred Cox, Linda M. De-
meritte and the Demeritte
family, Cassandra Hanna,


Fred Morley, Martha Mor-
ley McKenzie, Gerald Pratt
and his brothers and sisters,
Annie G. Sweating, Ruvel
Smith, Louise, Richard,
Eddie and Inez Strachan-
Rowe.
He was also a discipline
music teacher and wanted
his students to read the mu-
sic and not memorize it. His
eyes stayed closed, but when
you missed a note, he would
hit you on the fingers with
his ruler each time. Further,
he never pumped his bicycle,
he sat on the seat until he
got to his destination and
gave each . student
30-minutes of lesson.
, Other piano teach-
Sers back in the, days
included Mr. Hanna,
Mr. Davis, Lela Wil-
liams, Mabel Dorsett
Glover and Alexan-
der Valentine. Those
and other students
NEY alive are passing their
techniques' on to their
children and grand-
babies.


The City of Miami cele-
brated its 113 birthday with
a huge cake and spectators
boarding a bus to see Miami
as it is now with the infra-
structure bellowing above
the area and many, ques-
tions unanswered, because
the answers are not there.
And, according to Dorothy
Graham, the infrastructure
back in the days consisted of
the Lyric, Ritz, Modern and
the Liberty Theatre in Lib-
erty City. Other entertain-
ment spots were The Harlem
Square, Rockland Palace,
Sir John, Knight Beat, Patio
Club, Fiesta, Booker Terrace,
Hampton House and Gil Spot
in the Grove.
Dr. Enid C. Pinkney,
founder of the African-Amer-
ican Committee of Dade Her-
itage and Historical Hamp-
ton House, attended Booker
T. Washington and is still
known as the first female to


head the Student Govern-
ment Association and invit-
ed Joe Louis, heavy weight
champion of the world, to a
student assembly. Before he
left, she solicited money for
band uniforms and waited
patiently at the hotel to get
same.
Now, she is older, wiser,
and more persuasive in her
endeavor to move both orga-
nizations to .a higher
level. Kudos go out to
her supporters, such
as The Honorable
Dorothy Johnson,
chairperson, Isabelle
Rosete, secretary,
Charlayne Thomp-
son, treasure, Mar-
tha Anderson, Caro-
lyn Boston, Dr. Lar- DIG
ry Capp, Dr. Edwin
T. Demeritte, Eufau-
la Frazier, Alyce S. Harrell,
Penny Lambeth, Marva
Lightbourne, Ruby IRayford
and Eugenia Thomas.

mended for her report of the
Ebenezer Youth attendance
to the 2009 Explosion in
Marietta, Ga., last weekend.
It all began when Ebenezer

day and arriving in Marietta
around 3 p.m. fully ready for

much fun.
"' Entertainment was at

that brought many "Amens"
from the huge crowd. When

GS lowship. This was
where old truths took,
on new and young-
er faces; you could feel the
Holy Spirit through the
moves that were made and
the songs that were sung,
according to Green.
A special salute goes
out to Min. Roy Moore, for-
merly of Ebenezer UMC% who
started the Youth Explosion
back in 2006 and alternated
between Georgia and Flor-
. ida. Moore also received
his education from the Dade
County School System, in-
cluding Norland Middle and
Senior High. As a teenager,
he was observed as a leader
of the pack and set an ex-
ample among his peers. Af-
ter completing high school
he, himself,' strayed away,
from the straight and narrow
and found Jesus, where he's
taking the message far and
near.
-Next year, the Youth Ex-

us about God anointing this
event and a greater partici-

4C THE MIAMI TIMES, AUG 12-18, 2009


Steve Harvey's book headed to big screen,

Filmmaker Will Packer plans to adopt Steve Harvey"s best-selling book "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man"
into a feature film.
An official announcement is reportedly pending, but BV's Karu Daniels is reporting that the producer of such
films as "Stomp The Yard" and "Obsessed" have reportedly acquired the film rights to the Amistad/Harper Collins
book, which has been atop the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past six months.
"It's pretty amazing," Harvey, a first-time author, told BlackVoices.com in February about the book's success.
"It really has to be some amount of favor from God, because I have no experience at writing a book."
Officially titled "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy,
and Commitment," the book is an extension of a popular segment from Harvey's top rated, nationally syndicated
morning radio show called "Strawberry Letter," in which he and co-host Shirley Strawberry give advice
to people who write in..
In 2007, Packer -- the co-founder and chairman of Rainforest Films - was heralded as one of the "10
Producers' To Watch" by:Variety.

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) -
Keri Hilson planned to break into
the music industry as a singer.
Straight from the best-laid-plans
file, however, she encountered'
several hurdles. But she didn't
give up.
Hilson did .put it on layaway
as she sharpened another skill:
songwriting. Not only has, she be-
come a sought-after writer, Hilson
finally broke out earlier this year
as a chart-topping singer with her
aptly titled debut album, "In a
Perfect World."
And her career evolution under-
scores the increasing role pub-
lishing companies are playing in
artist development.
Five years ago, the relatively un-
known songwriter signed a pub-
lishing deal with Universal Music
Publishing Group. At that point,.
Hilson's resume included credits
as the teen lead singer of one-
time Elektra girl group By D'Sign
and. early songwriting efforts on
projects by Kelly Rowland and
Ciara.
"Melody is one ofKeri's strongest
points and she's very clever lyri-
cally," said Ethiopia Habtemar-
iam, the company's New York-
based senior VP/head of urban.
Around that time, Atlanta-
based songwriter/producer Polow
Da Don arranged an introduction
between Hilson and Timbaland.
The producer signed her to his
Interscope-distributed Mosley
Music imprint in 2006.
All the while, Hilson was de-
veloping her songwriting skills.
Stranded in Miami during Hur-
ricane Katrina following a song-
writing retreat, she became a
founding member of the song-
writing/production collective the
Clutch. The five-person team has
churned out such R&B/hip-hop


.and pop hits as Ma'ry J.
Blige's "Take Me As I Am.
Britney Spears' "Gimme
More" and Omarion s
"Ice Box."
Through her con-
nection with Timba-
land and Polow, Hi - .
son got placements
for songs recorded
by the Pussycat
Dolls ("Wait a Min-
ute") and Ludacris
("Runaway Love").
She also wrote
and was featured
on Timbaland's
top five Billboard
Hot 100 hit "The
Way I Are." Then
two years ago she
began to focus
on her dream.
The long gesta-
tion from song-
writer 'to artist
paid off. Hilson's
"In a Perfect World
debuted at No. 4 on
the Billboard 200. Sell-
ing 411,000 copies after
19 weeks, according to
Nielsen SoundScar. the al-
bum has spun off twvo hits:
"Knock You Down" featuring
Kanye West and Ne-Yo and
"Turnin' Me On" featuring Lil
Wayne. A new single. Slow
Dance," is scaling the charts,
as is R. Kelly's "Number One'
featuring Hilson.
Hilson recently returned
, to the studio to begin Twrit-
ing for forthcoming albuLms
by Timbaland and Chns
Brown, as well as her
own next project. Look-
ing back on her song-
writer-to-artist evolu-
tion, she says taking V
the alternate route was
worth it.-

New jobless claims decline more than expected


By Christopher S. Rugaber
The number of newly laid-off work-
ers seeking unemployment benefits
fell last week, the government said'
Thursday, a sign that the job mar-
ket is improving.
Job losses are likely to slow in
coming months, economists said, a
trend that could be reflected in the
government's July unemployment
report to be released Friday.
"We believe the lower claims fig-
ures are an important economic
development and confirmation that
the economy is turning the corner,"
Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. econo-
mist at Deutsche Bank, wrote in a
note to clients.
Still, the number of people continu-
ing to claim benefits rose by 69,000
to 6.3 million, after having dropped
for three straight weeks - evidence
that job openings remain scarce and
the unemployed are having difficul-
ty finding new work. The figures for
continuing jobless claims

Blacks recognized in The
Best Lawyers in America
The ,,iiami Times Staff Report
Forty-three Holland & Knight lawyers of the
Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach of-
fices were recently named by their peers to the
2010 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.
Among the recipients receiving the high hon-
ors includes Marilyn J. Holifield who works in
the Miami office and practices in Commercial
Litigation Labor and Employment Law.
"I always honored to be recognized by my
peers." said Holifield. "Your peers are the peo-
ple who know what it takes to be an effective
lawyer so I am extremely honored."
Holifield made history again in 1986 when
she was named a partner with Holland &
Knight, the first Black woman partner with a
major law firm in Florida. She was previously
recognized in the The Best Lawyers in America
in 2006.
Other honoree included University of Flori-
da graduate Kelly-Ann Cartwright, a labor and
employment lawyer also in the Miami office.
Published since 1983, The Best Lawyers
in America is widely regarded as the preemi-
nent referral guide to the legal profession in
the United States. The Best Lawyers lists are
compiled through an exhaustive peer-review
survey in which thousands of top lawyers in
the U.S. confidentially evaluate their profes-
sional peers.

its mission of increasing children' potential

Sharpton said.

Retail chains still suffering


CLAIMS
continued from 5D
lag behind those
for initial claims by a
week.
First-time ,claims
for jobless benefits
dropped to a seasonally
adjusted 550,000 for
the week ending Aug.
1, down from an up-
wardly' revised figure of
588,000 in the previous
week, the Labor Depart-
ment said.
That was much lower
than analysts' estimates
of 580,000, according
to a survey by Thomson
Reuters. And the four-
week average of claims,
which smoothes out
fluctuations, dropped to
555,250, its lowest point
since late January.
Even so, many retail


chains reported sluggish
July sales Thursday as
consumers proved re-
luctant to spend. Mall-
based chains.'
When emergency ex-
tensions of unemploy-
ment are included, the
total jobless benefit rolls
climbed to a record 9.35
million for the week
ending July 18, the
most recent period for
which figures are avail-
able. .Congress has add-
ed up to 53 extra weeks
of benefits on top of the
26 typically provided by
the states.
Despite the decline
� in new jobless claims,
they remain far above
the 300,000 to 350,000
that analysts say is con-
sistent with a healthy
economy. New claims
last fell below 300,000


in early 2007.
. The recession, which
began in December
2007 and is the longest
since World War II, has
.eliminated a net total
of 6.5 million jobs. The
unemployment rate is
expected to rise to 9.6
percent when the July
figure is reported Fri-
day.
More job cuts were an-
nounced this week. The
publisher of the Milwau-
kee Journal , Sentinel
said it would cut 92 jobs
as the current advertis-
ing slump continues to
ravage the newspaper
business. Elsewhere,
about 6,000 General
Motors Co. blue-collar
workers have taken the
latest round of early
retirement and buyout
offers.

I GUARANTEE SUCCESS
WHERE ALL OTHER READERS FAIL
I give never failing advice upon all matters of life, such
as love, courtship, marriage, divorce, business transac-

cause speedy and happy marriages, overcome enemies,
rivals, lovers' quarrels, evil habits, stumbling blocks and
bad luck of all kind. There is no heart so sad so dreary that
I cannot bring sunshine into it. In fact, no matter what
may be your hope, fear or ambition, I guarantee to tell it
before you utter a word to me.
