JACKSONVILLE,
Fla.--James Harvey
Spencer, born October 3,
1900, celebrated 105
years of travel on this
journey as family and
friends gathered on
Monday, October 3 at his
home on West 19th
Street.
Attending the birth-
day celebration were his
children Charles,
George, Larry, Florine,
Birdie, and Doris. Mr.
Spencer has survived
two wives, has over 100
grand and great grand


children, and has a lot of
nieces and nephews.
The conversation with
Florine Jackson, his old-
est daughter, was like a
walk down the halls of
history. Born in
Woodbine Georgia, Mr.
Spencer moved to
Jacksonville when he
was 21.
After spending time in
the Army during World
War II, he was dis-
charged in 1944 and went

st August Wilson's The
Piano Lesson in August,

& LaVilla Museum.


winning playwright
& passed away Sunday at
the age of 60 from liver
August Wilson cancer.
Wilson was born on April 27, 1945 to a German
father and black mother in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He
rose from poverty to become the only playwright to
have more plays produced at the world-renowned
Huntington Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, than
Shakespeare. Last year, the Huntington premiered
Wilson's play Gem of the Ocean starring Phylicia
Rashad, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Ruben Santiago-Hudson
and Anthony Hamilton.
In August, First Coast's own Ms. Teneese K. Thomas
directed The Piano Lesson which is a story about a fam-
ily set in 1937, which was part of a cycle of plays
Wilson wrote that included the Tony-Award winning,
Fences. Each of his award winning plays was a part of
his artistic ambition, which was to write ten plays, each
set in a different decade of the 20th Century. His plays
aspired to document the black experience.
When he was told he had three to five months to
live, he said "I've lived a blessed life. I'm ready." In
recognition of August Wilson and his remarkable talent,
the Virginia Theater on Broadway will be renamed in
his honor on October 16, 2005.

To Be Equal
Constance Baker Motley and August Wilson:
Restorers of Reality
Marc H. Morial, President/CEO, National Urban League
I


Two giants of the
American scene are dead,
and the world is the poorer
for it.
The reason the deaths of
Constance Baker Motley, the
civil rights legend, former
political officeholder and
longtime federal judge, and
August Wilson, certainly one
of the leading playwrights of
the modem American the-
ater, are being so keenly felt
is because their contributions
to America and the world
were so immense.
In one sense, Constance
Baker Motley and August
Wilson made their mark in
two different fields:
Hers was the fact-based
world of civil rights
activism, political leader-
ship, and legal reality, legal
theory and legal practicality.
His was his own brilliant-
ly conceived world of fiction
that was based on a particu-
lar black neighborhood of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his
boyhood home.
But if one looks at their
lives and work from a differ-
ent angle-through the
prism of race and American
society-then one sees pro-
found commonalities.
First, it must be said, both
their lives underscore the
dramatic changes that swept
over American society in
their lifetimes.


Constance Baker Motley
was 84 at her death, 24 years
senior to August Wilson; but
the United States of America
both came of age in was
largely the same. That is, it
was a society laced with a
vicious inequality, one in
which in societal terms the
content of the individual
character of black Americans
(and other Americans of
color) counted for nothing.
If you're black, get back
was the ruling principle of
American society in the
decades before the 1960s.
Yet, by the time August
Wilson was born in 1945,
and Constance Baker (she
would get married to her
husband, Joel Wilson
Motley, Jr., who survives
her, in 1946), a daughter of
black working-class parents,
was in her last year as one of
the few women at Columbia
Law School, the winds of
racial change that we know
as the Civil Rights

Movement of the 1950s and
1960s were just about the
reach gale force.
Those gales would be
blown mightily by the
shrewd maneuvering of the
legal arm of the National
Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People, the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund.
Constance Baker Motley,


who joined the NAACP as a
teenager, signed on with
LDF while still in law school
and soon became one of its
most brilliant and coura-
geous-two requirements
for LDF work, the latter
because most of its legal
cases had to be tried in the
South-practitioners.
The cases she was
involved in, from the land-
mark Brown desegregation
case to voting-rights cases to
attempts to integrate the state
universities of Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi
themselves mark America's
arduous climb to becoming a
democracy in fact not just
rhetoric.
As legal rights were
secured, Constance Baker
Motley was called on to
serve America in other
capacities: as the first black
woman state senator in New
York, as the first women to
be Borough President of
Manhattan at a time when
the borough presidencies of
New York City exercised
considerable sway in the
city's governance, and, by
President Lyndon Johnson's
appointment in 1966, as
America's first black woman
federal judge.
August Wilson worked a
different side of the street, as
one of the characters in his
rich, ten-part cycle of plays
rooted in Pittsburgh's Hill
District might say.
His was a world where
the raw material of reality
was refined by an extraordi-
narily inventive imagination,


a keenly-observant intellect,
a dead-on ear for both music
and speech, a sense of humor
that was by turns sly and
subtle and bawdy, a right-
eous, relentless sense of
anger about racial injustice,
and, above all, a commit-
ment to the history and tradi-
tions of black people in
America.
His larger artistic agenda,
he said during a speech
given in 1991, was "answer-
ing [the African-American
novelist, essayist and civil
rights activist] James
Baldwin when he called for a
'profound articulation of the
black tradition,' which he
defined as 'that field of man-
ners and ritual of intercourse
that will sustain a man once
he's left his father's house.'"
As individuals,
Constance Baker Motley and
August Wilson embodied the
profound tradition within
Black America of the pursuit
of excellence-what the
writer Albert Murray
referred to as the indelible
"ancestral imperative to do
something and become
something and be some-
body."
It was America's great
fortune that they married that
individual drive to African
Americans' pursuit of their
rightful place in the
American past, present and
future-a pursuit that not
only helped restore the reali-
ty of who African Americans
were and are, but has also
redeemed the American
experience itself.

MEMORIAL

In Memory

Of


Joyce P. Thomas
August 10, 1947-
October 3, 2003
Remembering a well-
loved and respected
Woman of God. Mrs.
Joyce P Thomas, devoted
wife, loving mother, sister,
aunt and friend to many,
quietly and peacefully left
our presence and returned
to our Father two years
ago.

She will forever be
remembered by her Godly
counsel, warm and beauti-
ful spirit, sincere words of
inspiration, joyful laugh-
ter, down to earth person-
ality, her sassy way, proud
walk and genuine love for
people and life itself.

Aunt Joyce, we miss you
so much! Your presence
is forever with us. We fell
you in our hearts, see you
in our dreams and talk
about you and the great
times we've had through-
out our lives all the time.

Laughter quickly becomes
tears of joy and sorrow.
You are not only an aunt,
but more of a big sister to
each of us.
This memorial is from
your loving sister,
Freddie M. Armstead;
four daughters, three sons,
special nieces and
nephews who will all see
you again. "To be absent
from the body is to be
present with the Lord."
Thank you for helping to
raise and mold us to be
the Men and Women of
God that we all are.

So, Rest In Peace Aunt
Joyce. Our Angel. Our
Big Sis. We Love You
Dearly and You are
Forever Missed.

The vision for the move
came under retired Pastor
Moses Javis in 2000.
According to Interim
Pastor Jeffrey K. Rumlin,
the move is "right on time."
"There's a fresh, warm
spirit at Dayspring and the
congregation is ready to pro-
vide relevant ministries to a
growing community," said
Pastor Rumlin.
Members such as
Aletrice P. Harris feel con-
nected to the Jefferson Street
location, but recognize that
relocating is in the best
interest of the church.
"I've have seen some
good days here, but moving
is sign of progress. When
we can better our conditions
we should do so," said
Harris."

WHAT DOES GRIEVING MEAN?


When someone we love
dies, it hurts us. We feel sad
that the person will no longer
be around to talk to or to have
fun with. Their absence
leaves a big hole in our lives.
We need to mourn, or
grieve, over losing people and
animals and other things we
love.
But just like when you
skin your knee, the first,
intense pain will go away
after a while.
It takes time for your knee
to heal, but it hurts less and
less each day. It's the same
. when someboOc dies.


That doesn't mean you
forget the person who died,
or that you stop missing
them.
After a while, we can go
back to our lives, still loving
them and remembering them
always.
Remembering people we
love who have died is one
way to keep them a part of us.
Pictures help us do this.
Looking at a photo album can
help us remember fun times
'we had together.

"There's Always Something
Happening On The First Coast"
It's All About Kids
There was a fire engine, face painting, an inflatable gym,
cotton candy, hot dogs, drinks and just fun, fun, fun through-
out the Hidden Hills Executive Park complex and especially
at All About Kids Pediatrics for an Open House/Grand
Opening event. All About Kids Pediatrics co-owned by Dr.
Dean M. Cannon and Dr. James A. Joyner, IV was the
'place' recently. And what fun it must have been for the kids
to be at the doctor's office for a good time and not due to ill-
ness.
These young doctors really know how to relate to young
people. And creating pleasant memories of the doctor's
office was the doctor's order of the day. Do you have a mem-
ory of your childhood physician donning a painted face? I
don't think so!
Best Wishes to Drs. Cannon and Joyner, IV!

LINKS, Inc. Takes Action Offers Disaster Assistance
One of this nation's premier Black women's organiza-
tions, The Links, Incorporated, took immediate action fol-
lowing the disaster of hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast.
"It-appears that all of America was caught unprepared for
a disaster of this magnitude," said Dr. Gladys Gary
Vaughn, National President of The Links, Inc. "Therefore,
all of our members were asked to answer a call to action to
assist not only our members but as many survivors of
Hurricane Katrina as possible. At this time, we are happy to
report that chapters throughout the United States are provid-
ing service in a number of ways and through a number of
programs with people and other organizations of good will.
We are 10,000 members who are dedicated to community
service and willing to do our share-and more."
Answering the call to action for members of The Links,
Incorporated meant a consolidated and concerted effort to
save and sustain human life. After reacting to the first
instinct to donate money, The Links, Inc. developed a strat-
egy, conceived by the collective brainpower of its leader-
ship, to provide "Disaster Relief." This across the board dis-
S aster relief plan, the envy of which could attract the US
Government, includes: (1) Communication and
Mobilization communicating with the membership, estab-
lishing command centers within the affected areas, and coor-
dinating chapters as they move into action; (2) Immediate
Relief what needs to done and what can be done with
resources to sustain relief; (3) Stabilization the relief fund;
and (4) Bridging to the Future a task force on disaster
relief; an on-going disaster relief effort using the resources
of all African American organizations working together.
There are 140 members of The Links .from three chapters
located in New Orleans. These women are suffering with
displacement, loss of homes and belongings and, in many
cases, the death of loved-ones. Some of these members have
been accounted for and the national headquarters of The
Links is still looking for others.
"We implore Links chapters from across the United
States to open their homes and their hearts to provide
resources to our Sister Links as well as other persons who
are in need," added Dr. Vaughn.
The Southern Area of The Links, Incorporated, bearing
the brunt of the tragedy, is lead by Mrs. Margaret
Thompson Johnson, Area Director.
"While we reach out to our own, we realize that we are
our brother's keepers; and so we expect to stretch our efforts
where ever we find need," said Ms. Johnson. Therefore,
Mrs. Johnson stated that she has "redirected the upcoming
Southern Area Executive Committee's fall planning meeting
from Jacksonville to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Jackson,
Mississippi in order to meet with our displaced members and
also to spend a day of hands-on volunteer service in those
two communities."
Editor's note: On the First Coast, there are members of
the Jacksonville Chapter Links, Inc. who were affected
directly by the Katrina hurricane. These Links members are
providing shelter for their evacuated loved ones, feeling
especially blessed that their loved ones were able to get to
them safely in spite of their personal losses. Chapter mem-
bers have 'been there' for their displaced Links sisters who
were welcomed warmly at a recent chapter meeting.
Jacksonville Chapter, Links, Inc. president Mrs. Gloria
Dean has named fellow Links chapter member Mrs.
Johnetta Moore to coordinate the Katrina hurricane initia-
tive for the Jacksonville Chapter Links, Inc.

Bold City Chapter Launches Third "PRAISE" Program

Second Gas Price Gouging Lawsuit Filed


TALLAHASSEE --
Florida Attorney General
Charlie Crist today filed the
state's second lawsuit over
price gouging from
Hurricane Katrina, accusing
a Tallahassee gas station of
unconscionably raising its
gasoline prices 72 cents per
gallon during the state of
emergency.
Crist's complaint alleges
that Island Food Stores,
Ltd., the Jacksonville-based
fuel retailer that owns the
Tallahassee station, improp-
erly raised its prices even
though the increases were
not forced by market condi-
tions at the time.
Island Food Stores owns
and supplies BP/Amoco fuel
to the station at 3436
Thomasville Road in
Tallahassee. Island sets
prices at its stations' pumps.
Because of the station's con-


venient location adjacent to
a major interstate leading to
and from the hurricane-
impacted area, both
Hurricane Katrina victims
fleeing the storm and emer-
gency personnel trying to
reach the affected areas were
potential victims of the
gouged prices.
Shortly following
Katrina's devastation, the
Attorney General's Office
received more than 1800
complaints about the sky-
rocketing prices of fuel.
These complaints
prompted Attorney General
Crist to launch a statewide
investigation, sending teams
of investigators and sworn
law enforcement personnel
to locations throughout
Florida to determine
whether the rapid rise in gas
prices met the legal defini-
tion of gouging.


Interviews For Judicial

Vacancy Scheduled

TAL LAH ASSEE -- Interviews for the Judicial Vacancy
in the 4th Judicial Circuit will be conducted on Wednesday,
October 19 beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the Chambers of Chief
Judge Donald R. Moran, Jr. in the Duval County
Courthouse, Room 220.
The following applicants will be interviewed: Thomas
Beverly, Kevin Blazs, Judge Tyrie Boyer, Harold Catlin,
Robert Cole, Judge Mallory Cooper, Judge James Ruth,

Anyone wishing to comment on the qualifications of any
of the applicants may do so by writing to Mary Bland Love,
Chair, 4th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission, 815
South Main St., Ste. 300, Jacksonville, FL 32207.


While responding to
complaints. in Tallahassee,
investigators noticed the
Island store'ss exceptionally
high prices and discovered
that the station allegedly had
hiked prices more than 70


STUART, Fla.--Attorney
Willie E. Gary, a prominent
attorney and Chairman of
the Black Family CHannel,
recently took supplies to
victims of Hurricane Katrina
and transported families to
be reunited with loved ones
through the United States.
Attorney Gary took


cents per gallon for regular
unleaded gasoline over a
three-day period.
Between August 31 and
September 1, the price of
regular unleaded gas sold at
the Island station increased a


flight aboard his Boeing 737
business jet, appropriately
named the Wings of Justice
to help Katrina victims.
He was joined by base-
ball great Cecil Fielder, box-
ing heavy-weight champion
Evander Holyfield, actor
Tommy Ford and partners
from the Gary Law Firm.
Gary and law firm
employees loaded the
"Wings of Justice" with
thousands of dollars worth
of baby bottles, diapers, toi-
letries, water, and other sup-
plies and took off of on a
two-day mission to help
those displaced by the hurri-
cane.
The mission began at
Witham Field in Stuart, Fla.,
and continued on to
Houston, Texas, where Gary
handed out supplies and vis-
ited families at the George
Brown Convention Center.
Two families, who lost
everything in the aftermath
of the storm, were invited by
Gary to board his private jet
to start a new life in Atlanta,
Ga.
Patrick and Kristen
Behn, a young married cou-
ple, had just moved to New
Orleans two weeks before
Katrina hit, and now found
themselves back in Houston
with thousands of other
homeless evacuees.
The Behn family was
thankful to be offered seats

total of 62 cents per gallon,
even though the station had
received no delivery of reg-
ular unleaded gas and
encountered no increase in
total costs.
Midgrade gasoline


aboard the Wings of Justice.
Lucius Bonner, a 23
year-old man from New
Orleans, spent an entire day
floating on a tire until rescue
workers finally returned for
him.
"They kept passing me
saying 'we'll be back.' At
that point I thought I was
going to die," said Bonner.
Bonner was also welcomed
aboard Gary's jet and reunit-
ed with his father in Atlanta.
Gary, Holyfield and
Fielder also handed out sup-
plies and greeted families at
the Houston Astrodome.
Gary felt that it was his
duty to embark on the two-
day mission to help hurri-
cane victims.
"Many of these people
have lost their homes and
their loved ones," stated
Gary. "We must all come
together and aid in the
rebuilding process. Our
brothers and sisters are
counting on us to be there
for them during this trou-
bling time and we don't
have the right to let them
down," continued Gary.
Gary is best known in
legal circles as "The Giant
Killer," is noted for taking
on some of America's most
powerful companies, win-
ning billions of dollars in
verdicts and settlements on
behalf of his clients.

increased 72 cents per gal-
lon between August 31 and
September 2, with no deliv-
ery or increase in cost to the
station.
The station's profit mar-
gins tripled for regular
unleaded gas from August
30 to September 1, and more
than doubled for premium
gas and tripled for midgrade
gas from August 30 to
September 2.
Island is charged with
violating Florida's price
gouging statute, which car-
ries a maximum fine of
$1,000 for each occurrence
up to a total of $25,000 for
multiple violations commit-
ted in a single 24-hour peri-
od.
Additionally, the busi-
ness is charged with violat-
ing Florida's Unfair and
Deceptive Trade Practices
Act, which carries a penalty
of $10,000 or $15,000 for
any victims over the age of
60.
As of today, the Attorney
General's Office had
received close to 4,000 com-
plaints about .skyrocketing
gas prices through its toll-
free consumer hotline (1-
866-9-NO-SCAM, or 1-866-
966-7226) and email corre-
spondence.
On September 9,
Attorney General Crist filed
a lawsuit against a Swifty
Stars retail gas station in
Tallahassee, with allegations
similar to those against
Island Food Stores.
As part of his ongoing
investigation into the rising
price of gasoline, Crist has
also subpoenaed four gaso-
line distributors seeking
records of their deliveries
into Florida.
Those companies are
Colonial Oil Industries,
Murphy Oil USA, Motiva
Enterprises (a subsidiary of
Royal Dutch Shell) and Tate
Oil Company.
During the record-setting
2004 hurricane season, the
Attorney General's price
gouging hotline received
8,911 complaints.
After receiving those
complaints, the office initi-
ated 58 formal, investiga-
tions and filed 13 price
gouging lawsuits against
hotels, generator businesses,
tree removal companies and
other businesses.
To date, the Attorney
General's Office has recov-
ered approximately
$725,000 in restitution for
Florida consumers.

Meek Decries 'The Expiration
Of The Ryan White CARE Act
/*WASHINGTON, DC Congressman Kendrick B. Meek
reacted to the expiration of the Ryan
White Comprehensive AIDS
Resources Emergency (CARE) Act,
1-c which has provided for the treatment
and care of hundreds of thousands of
Americans living with HIV and AIDS
since 1990. The Republican leader-
ship has yet to announce any plans to
provide for reauthorization of the leg-
islation, which expired September 30,
Kendrick Meek 2005. ,
"The Ryan White CARE Act pro-
vides a key safety net that targets gaps left by other govern-,
ment programs and private insurance,". Meek said.
"Congress_ must reauthorize the CARE Act immediately to
ensure that those in need aren't left without the critical care
and treatment they need."
Meek noted that, according to the AIDS Alliance, Title
IV of the Act, which provides HIV care and services to
women, children, youth and families, has made a significant
contribution to the tenfold decrease in the transmission of
HIV from mother to child.. Over 53,000 women, children,
and youth access Title IV services each year, and of this
number, 88% are persons of color.
"In virtually every community, we are seeing new HIV
infections continue to rise," Meek said. "The federal govern-
ment must have strong prevention strategies to combat the
new challenges we face with this disease, and I urge the
President and the Republican leadership to make reautho-
rization of the CARE Act an immediate priority."
The Ryan White CARE Act was originally passed in
1990, and reauthorized again in 1996 and 2000, each time
with bipartisan support. It was named after Ryan White, a
13-year-old boy who succumbed to the.disease in 1990.
Over half a million low-income, uninsured or underin-
sured people living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. rely on Ryan
White CARE Act programs' to remain healthy.

CBC Chair Urges Economic Consequences
For Bennett Comments
WASHINGTON,D.C. Representative Melvin L. Watt
(D-N.C.), Chairman of the
Congressional Black Caucus
(CBC), issued a comment on
behalf of the CBC about former I
Republican Secretary of Education -
William Bennett's comments on his
radio show in which he said, "...you
could abort every black baby in this
country and your crime rate would
go down. That would be an impos-
sible, ridiculous, and morally repre- William Bennett
Sensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down."
"The first inclination is not to dignify William Bennett's
comments with a response. However, it is obvious that these
kinds of outrageous comments will continue unless there are
Economic consequences to those who make them. I, there-
fore, call on all radio station owners who carry Bill Bennett's
show to immediately terminate the show and if they fail to
do so, I call on his sponsors and advertisers to withdraw their
advertising dollars."

Ethiopia, Eritrea Warned On Reignitin'g War
UNITED NATIONS The U.N. Security Council late
Tuesday warned Ethiopia and Eritrea against reigniting their
border war and urged Eritrea to immediately reverse its ban
on all helicopter flights by U.N. peacekeepers. In a tough
statement approved by all 15 council members and read at a
formal meeting, the council called on both countries "to
show maximum restraint and to refrain from any threat of
use of force against each other." Council members expressed
"grave concern" at Eritrea's decision to restrict all helicopter


flights by U.N. peacekeepers in Eritrean airspace effective
Wednesday. The ban violates Security Council resolutions
calling on the country to provide access so the U.N. mission
can perform its duties, the statement said.


contribute to the Urban League Katrina
Fund are Citigroup, donating $1 million
dollars; Freddie Mac, donating $1 mil-
lion dollars; and the Nehemiah
Corporation of America contributing
$100,00 for a total of $2.1 million.
B -Additional information about the
Fund and donations can be made at 1-
877-NUL-GULF and/or
Marc H.,Morial http://www.nul.org.
The Urban League Katrina Fund will
primarily focus on providing direct assistance to displaced,
low-income evacuees of Katrina with job training, job place-
ment and housing through the Urban League affiliates work-
ing in the affected communities. The Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees of the National Urban League
authorized the establishment of the Urban League Katrina
Fund in September following Hurricane Katrina, and Don


Bowen serves as the Fund's executive director. Bowen is the
CEO of the Urban League of Broward County (Fla.).
The Urban League Katrina Fund will assist short and
long term efforts to help people rebuild their lives. Over one
million of the Gulf Regions displaced citizens are in tempo-
rary housing, and a significant number are expected to reset-
tle in those areas. The newly-created Fund will allow for
timely and direct assistance to ensure that the most disadvan-
taged populations receive the help they need on the ground,
in the communities already served by the Urban League's
network of over 100 affiliates. "The immediate relief effort
is slowing down, and we realize that nearly one million
Americans have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina. That
is why the Urban League Katrina Fund will help evacuees
with jobs and housing to help ensure that the most disadvan-
taged citizens receive the needed assistance to rebuild their
lives," said Marc H. Morial, president and CEO, National'
Urban League.


IRS Warns Consumers Of Possible


Scams Relating Hurricane Katrina


WASHINGTON The
Internal Revenue Service
today issued a consumer
alert,. about possible scams
taking place in the wake of
Hurricane Katrina and other
recent natural disasters.
Such fraudulent schemes
may be perpetrated through
the. telephone, Internet, e-
mail or in-person solicita-
tions. The IRS cautions hur-
ricane victims and people
wishing to make disaster-
related charitable donations
to avoid unscrupulous scam
artists by following these
tips:
The IRS has established
a toll-free disaster assistance
telephone number, 1-866-
562-5227, specifically for
hurricane victims.
Whenever a matter involves
tax relief or tax refunds, the
first step a disaster victim
should take is to call the
IRS. For others, donate to
recognized charities.
Be wary of charities with
names that sound like famil-
iar or nationally known
organizations. Some phony
charities use names or Web
sites that sound or look like
those of respected, legiti-
mate organizations. The IRS
Web site at.IRS.gov has a
search feature that allows
people to find legitimate,
qualified charities to which
donations may be tax-
deductible. Legitimate char-
ities may also be found on
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency
(FEMA) Web site at
fema.gov.
Don't give out personal
financial information.- such
as Social Security numbers
or credit card and bank
account numbers and pass-
words to anyone who solic-
its a contribution from you.
Scam artists use this infor-
mation to steal your identity
and financial resources.
Don't give or send cash.
For security and tax record
purposes, contribute by
check or credit card. Write
the official name of the char-
ity on your check. "We
encourage people to be pru-
dent when they are' solicited
for disaster donations," said
IRS Commissioner Mark W.
Everson. "Ddn't be taken in
by scam artists more inter-
ested in lining their pockets
than helping others."
Scam artists can use a
variety of tactics. For exam-
ple, some scammers operat-
ing bogus charities may con-
tact members of the public
by telephone to solicit
money or financial informa-
tion.' In some cases, they


may contact disaster victims
and, claiming to be working
for or on behalf of.the IRS to
help the victims file amend-
ed tax returns to receive tax
refunds, attempt to get per-
sonal financial information
or Social Security numbers
that can be used to steal the
victims' identities or finan-
cial resources.
The IRS does not ask for
personal identifying or
financial information in
unsolicited telephone calls
or mail or via e-mail.
Call the IRS toll-free
number if you have any
doubts as to whether some-
one is an IRS employee or to
verify any information about
taxes.


Additionally, bogus Web
sites are currently soliciting
fupds for disaster victims,
according to federal law-
enforcement agencies. Such
fraudulent sites frequently
mimic the sites of, or use
names similar to, legitimate
charities, or claim to be
affiliated with legitimate
charities, in order to per-
suade members of the public
to send money or provide
personal financial informa-
tion that can be used to steal
identities or financial
resources.
Members of the public
may also have received e-
mails that steer the recipient
to bogus Web sites that
sound as though they are


affiliated with legitimate
charitable causes.
Taxpayers suspecting
disaster-related frauds can:
Report the fraudulent use. of
the IRS name to the
Treasury Inspector General
for Tax Administration
(TIGTA) at 1-800-366-
4484. Report fraudulent
charity Web sites to ic3.gov.
on the Web. Report other
fraudulent contacts either to
the Federal. Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) at 1-
800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-
5324) or to the Federal
Trade Commission's (FTC)
Consumer Response Center
at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-
382-4357) (TTY/TDD 202-
326-2502).

Dear Jamie:

I would like to respond to
the letter written by A
Disgusted White Girl.
Let me start by saying
that I am a 28-year old black
man. I graduated from one of
the most prestigious univer-
sities in Atlanta, Georgia
with a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Business
Management. I have a good
job at a major corporation
and have recently purchased
a house. So, I consider
myself to be among the
ranks of successful black
men.
I will not use my pre-
cious time to slander white
people. I just want to set the
record straight of why black
men date white women.
Back in the day, one of the
biggest reasons why black
men dated white women
wasbecause they were con-
sidered easy.
The black girls in my
neighborhood were raised in
the church. They were very
strict about when they lost
their virginity and who they
lost it to. Because of our
impatience to wait, brothers
would look for someone
who would give it up easy
without too much hassle. So,
they turned to the white
girls.
Nowadays, in my opin-
ion, a lot of brothers date
white women because they
are docile and easy to con-
trol. A lot of black men,

because of insecurities, fears,
and overall weaknesses,
have become intimidated by
the strength of our black
women. We are afraid that
our woman will be more suc-
cessful than us, make more
money than us, drive nicer
cars and own bigger houses,
Because of this fear, many
black men look for a more
docile woman. Someone we
can control.
I have talked to numerous
black men and they continu-
ously comment on how easy
it is to control and walk over
their white women. I just
want to set the record
straight. I want A Disgusted
White Girl to know that not
all successful black men date
white women.
Brothers like Ahmad
Rashad, Denzel Washington,
Michael Jordan, Morris
Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair
Underwood, Kenneth
"Babyface" Edmonds,
Samuel L. Jackson, and
Chris Rock all married
strong black women And, to
flip the script, there are
numerous white men, in and

openly or secretly desire
black women over white
women. Ted Danson, Robert
DeNiro, and David Bowie to
name a few.
I just don't want a dis-
gusted white girl to be misin-
formed Stop thinking that
because you are white that
you are some type of god-

It was the black woman

It was the black woman

It is the black woman
that had to endure watching
their fathers, husbands, and
children beaten, killed, and
thrown in jail. Black women
were born with two strikes
against them: being black
and being a woman.
And, through all this,
Still They Rise!
It is because of the black
women's strength, elegance,
power, love and beauty that
I could never date anyone
except my black Queen. It is
not just the outer beauty that
captivates and draws me to
them. It is not the fact that
they come in all shapes,
sizes, colors and shades that
I love them.
Their inner beauty is
what I find most appealing
about black women.
Their strong spirit, lov-
ing and nurturing souls,
their integrity, their ability

their willingness to stand for

their determination to suc-
ceed and reach their highest
potential while enduring
great pain and suffering is
why I have fallen in love
with black women.
I honestly believe that
your anger is geared more
toward jealousy and envy
more so than snotty looks. If
this were not so, then why
do you continuously go to
tanning salons to darken
your skin? If you are so
proud to be white, then why
don't you just be happy with
your pale skin?
Why do you continue to
inject your lips, hips, and
breasts with unnatural and
dangerous substances so you
can look fuller and more
voluptuous?
I think that your anger is
really a result of you want-
ing to have what the black
woman has.
BOTTOM LINE: If I
were looking for a docile
woman, someone I can walk
over and control, I would
give you a call. But, unfortu-
nately, I am looking for a
Virtuous Woman. Someone
that can be a good wife and
mother to my children.
Someone who can be my
best friend and understands
my struggles. I am looking
for a soul mate. I am looking
for a sister and; unfortunate-
ly, you do not and CANNOT
fit the bill. No offense taken,
none given.

Students From Four Duval Schools


Named National Merit Semifinalists


Twent)-nine seniors at four Du\al Countyn public
high schools ha e qualified as National Merit
Semifinalists, the preliminary step to\\ard possible selec-
tion as a finalist next spring.
The students \ere among 1.3 million students who
took the 2004 Preliminary SAT National Merit
Scholarship Qualiffing Test (PSAT NNISQT) as high
school juniors and the 6,000 students \ho qualified as
semifinalists. The test is used as the initial screening tool
for program entrants.
"We congratulate these students, their parents and
their teachers on achieving this honor," said
Superintendent Nancy Snyder, Ed.D. 'Being named a
National Merit Semifinalist means they belong to a pool
of less than one percent of U.S. high school sen-
iors."
Test officials estimate that 90 percent of the semifi-
nalists will advance to finalists and that about half of
those students \will be selected as Merit Scholarship \ in-
ners.
The number of semifinalists named from each state is
proportional to the state's percentage of the national total
of graduating seniors.
Advancing to finalist status also requires an outstand-
ing academic record throughout high school, the
endorsement and recommendation of the school princi-
pal and SAT scores that confirm the student's perform-
ance on the PSAT NMSQT.
Duval Count.y Public Schools' National Merit
Semifinalists are:

Apple Recipes Kids Love
(FeatureSource) Nothing is more quintessentially "autumn" than apples. Try some
new apple-based recipes that were designed with kids in mind. These favorites are
wholesome and unique, and can usually-be made with common ingredients you're like-
ly to have around the house. Vicki Lansky, author of "Feed Me! I'm Yours!"
(Meadowbrook Press, www.meadowbrookpress.com) recommends these three apple
recipes for kid-friendly fall treats:
Apples in Hand
Peel (optional) and core a whole apple. Mix peanut butter with one of the follow-
ing: raisins, wheat germ or granola. Stuff this mixture into the hole of the cored apple.
Slice in half to serve. Or stick the apple half on a Popsicle stick. It's both novel and neat
that way.

Bite-of-Apple Cookies
Ingredients:
V cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups flour
'/2 cup oatmeal, uncooked
2 teaspoons baking soda
"/2 teaspoon cinnamon
% cup wheat germ
1 cup apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

Directions:
Cream margarine, sugar and eggs. Mix dry ingredients and combine with creamed
mixture. Add apples. Drop spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Apple Fruit Rolls
You can use apples, peaches, pears, nectarines or canned pumpkin to make this
yummy dried "candy." The fruit can be the "too-hard-to-eat' variety or the "too-ripe-
and-the-last-piece" variety. It may even be well-drained canned fruit. If you're using
apples, core and peel them, then slice them into rings. If using another fruit, mash or
puree it. Two methods will work:
Blender method: Peel and core the fruit, blend until smooth and then cook five min-
utes in a saucepan over moderate heat.
Freeze-defrost method: In advance, peel and core fruit, wrap and freeze. Remove
from freezer an hour before using so fruit can begin to defrost. Cook in a saucepan,
mashing with a fork as you go, for 5 to 10 minutes. If the fruit is very watery, drain it.
While cooking, add 1 teaspoon honey for each piecd of fruit you are using. (Cook
different fruits separately, though you can cook one piece or a dozen of the same type
at once.)
Lay out clear plastic wrap (or cut open small plastic bags) on a cookie sheet or broil7
ing tray. Use one piece of plastic for each piece of fruit you're cooking. Spoon the mix-
ture onto the wrap, staying away from its edge. Spread as thin as possible. Spread
another piece of plastic wrap over the mixture and press down with a wide spatula to
make evenly thin. Remove this top sheet of plastic before drying.
Turn oven to its lowest possible heat or just use the pilot light. Place tray in the oven
and leave overnight (6 to 8 hours). The plastic wrap will not melt! If the fruit is dry by
breakfast, remove from the oven. (If not, wait a while longer.) Roll up the plastic wrap
(with the dried fruit) as if it were a jelly roll. Then peel and eat!

Ceremonies To Honor Life And Work Of The 'Beach Lady'


AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- The A. L.
Lewis Historical Society and the
family of MaVynee Oshun
Betsch, widely known as the
Beach Lady, will celebrate
her life and spirit at cere-
monies on Saturday and
Sunday, October 22 and 23,
2005. Her niece, Peri
Frances-Betsch said, "It is
so appropriate that the
Beach Lady's courageous
work and indomitable sprit
will be lifted up on the very
beach that she did so much to
preserve."
ay MaVynee Betsch, known
MaVynee Betsch nationwide as an advocate for
American Beach, died on September 5, 2005 at age 70. She
graduated from Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio, studied voice
further in Paris, then spent ten years as an opera singer in
Germany before moving to American Beach, the beach
where she spent weekends as a child. As the Beach Lady,


she became an environmental activist and tireless promoter
of the history and physical integrity of American Beach.
The Saturday, October 22, 2005 celebration of the Beach
Lady's life will be held at American Beach on Amelia Island,
beginning at 4:30 p.m.. At sunset sacred ceremonies will
take place at Nana, the dune,-and the edge of the ocean two
sights deeply loved by the Beach Lady.
A quilt will be sewn in MaVynee's memory. Those who
attend will be given an opportunity to write down their mem-
ories or thoughts about her; these pieces will be sewn into
the quilt.
The Saturday ceremony in honor of the Beach Lady's life
will be held at Lewis Street between Ocean Blvd. and Gregg
St., at American Beach. Look for the tent. The service will
take place rain or shine. Parking will be in Burney Park,
Burney Rd., off SR A1A. For further information contact
Peri Frances-Betsch at 404-964-8342.
On Sunday, October 23, 2005 the Ritz Theatre & LaVilla
Museum, the A. L. Lewis Historical Society and the family
of MaVynee Oshun Betsch welcome all to another celebra-
tion of the Beach Lady's life and work. The afternoon,
beginning at 2 p.m., will include a showing of the film The
Beach Lady, a musical tribute by her brother John Betsch,


and a reception at the Ritz Theatre & LaVilla Museum, 829
N. Davis St., Jacksonville.
Those attending Sunday are encouraged to participate in
an African ancestral altar ceremony, welcoming MaVynee
among the ancestors by bringing items for the ceremony.
The film The Beach Lady received its world premiere at
three sold-out events in January 2005 on Amelia Island when
both the Beach Lady and American Beach celebrated their
70th birthdays.
For those attending either ceremony, or for others who
wish to honor her, the family respectfully requests that in
lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made to the A. L. Lewis
Historical Society as a way to continue the Beach Lady's
life's work and to make manifest her vision of an American
Beach Museum. The A. L. Lewis Historical Society, P. 0.
Box 15563, Fernandina Beach, FL 32035, is a 501(c)3 non-
profit organization registered in the state of Florida.
The A. L. Lewis Historical Society is raising funds to
research, design and install the exhibits for the American
Beach Museum. Abraham Lincoln Lewis was the great-
.grandfather of MaVynee Betsch and one of the seven
founders, in 1901, of Jacksonville's Afro-American Life
Insurance Company and, in 1935, of American Beach.

To be nominated for the award, schools must:
Have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds

"We are very proud of our teachers, students, parents and staff for this great honor," said
Michael Akers, Wesconnett Principal. "This award validates our focus on academics and a

Annual Celebration Highlights International Trade With

South Africa, Honors Minority Business Leaders -ift I


The nominations are in
and the final preparations
are underway to honor
First Coast small and
minority-owned business-
es in a weeklong celebra-
tion September 19-23,
2005. Thirty-nine busi-
nesses will be vying for
seven awards, including
the top honor of
Entrepreneur of the Year.
The celebration is part
of the 22nd annual
Minority Enterprise
Development Week, or
MEDWeek for short, and
will also feature a visit to
Jacksonville from Her
Excellency Barbara Joyce
Masekela, Ambassador to
the U.S. from The
Republic of South Africa.
According to organiz-
ers, Masekela will discuss
the growth and potential of
small businesses engaged
in international trade on
Thursday, Sept. 22, 2005 at
the MEDWeek Awards
Luncheon. That morning,
the Ambassador is sched-
uled to tour of the JAX-
PORT shipping operations
at Blount Island and meet
small business owners who
ship between Jacksonville
and the ports of South
Africa.
"We are thrilled to have
Her Excellency come and
share her message of hope
and international trade
with small and minority
business leaders here on
the First Coast," said Julia
Fox, president of the First
Coast Business Alliance
Inc. (FCBA), the nonprofit
spearheading MEDWeek.
"Having lived under the
former regime of apartheid
to later working alongside
Nelson Mandela fighting
for South Africa's free-
dom, the Ambassador
knows the struggles small
businesses must overcome
to be successful both at
home and abroad."
Using the theme
"Putting the Pieces
Together for Building a
Successful Business," the
FCBA has teamed up with


the U.S. Small Business
Administration, the Small
Business Development
Center at the University of
North Florida, the Small
Business Center of the
Jacksonville Regional
Chamber of Commerce,
Bethune-Cookman
College, Florida
Community College at
Jacksonville, the
University of North
Florida and numerous
other organizations to put
together the event that
focuses on the accom-
plishments and economic
impact minority business-
es make on the First Coast.
"Each year, the First
Coast celebration brings
together more than 2,000
small and minority enter-
prises, representatives
.from corporations and
state and federal agencies,
all with a common com-
mitment to promoting and
fostering minority busi-
ness growth and develop-
ment," said Ronald Van
Johnson, Economic
Development Specialist
with the Jacksonville SBA
Office.
Hundreds of people
will take part in work-
shops, seminars, trade
fairs, a procurement con-
ference, a golf tournament
and an exciting awards
luncheon.
Since 1983, the U.S.
President has proclaimed a
National MEDWeek
observance to recognize
the outstanding achieve-
ments of Minority
Business Enterprises
(MBEs) and to honor
those corporations and
financial institutions that
support minority business
development. The
Jacksonville celebration is
one of many annual
regional conferences dedi-
cated to honoring small
and minority-owned busi-
nesses.
Masekela received her
education in South Africa
and Zambia, graduating
with a BA (Cum Laude)

Jaguars Hope Rookie The Right
Decision


Can Help Revamp


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Khalif Barnes, a second-round
draft pick from
Washington, will make
his first start for the
Jaguars Sunday night
October 9 against the
Cincinnati Bengals.
The Jaguars expect the
move to improve an
offensive line ranking
29th in the league in sacks
allowed per passing play.

Taylor found few running lanes.
Del Rio benched. Pearson last Sunday, admrhitting that he
may have returned too soon from a serious knee injury, and
Barnes got in for about a dozen plays. Barnes played well
enough to earn his first start, Del Rio said.
"He is talented. He is athletic. He does bring some tough-
ness, some physical ability," Del Rio said. "What he's lack-
ing right now is experience. If the other guys were playing
well enough to hold him off, then it might be harder to get
him into the game. But at this point, it's time for him to play."
Leftwich has been sacked 13 times this season and
knocked down even more often. Taylor, meanwhile, has
averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per carry.

Orlando Magic Sign Free Agents; Heat Putting New Pieces Together


ORLANDO, Fla. The
Orlando Magic signed five
free agents recently includ-
ing forwards Matt Freije, Bo
Outlaw and guard Felipe
Lopez.
The Magic open training
camp Tuesday in
Jacksonville at the
University of North Florida.
Freije, a second-round
pick by Miami in 2004,
appeared in 23 games last
season with New Orleans,
averaging 4.0 points and 2.7
rebounds. The 6-foot-10
Freije was waived by the
Hornets in January.
Outlaw, a 12-year NBA
veteran, played for the
Magic from 1997-2001. He
averaged 1.4 rebounds and
0.7 points in 39 games with
Phoenix last season.
Lopez, a former New


York City prep star, spent
parts of five seasons with
Vancouver, Washington and
Minnesota, averaging 5.8
points and 2.4 rebounds.
The Magic also signed
center Ken Johnson and for-
ward Terence Morris.
Johnson, a second-round
pick by Miami in 2001,
played in 34 games last sea-
son with Bourg en Bresse in
France, averaging 11.2
points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.1
blocks. The former Ohio
State standout holds the Big
Ten record for career
blocked shots with 444.
Morris, also a second-
round choice in 2001, aver-
aged 3.7 points and 2.9
rebounds in 117 career NBA
games with Houston.
Gone are two starters
from the Miami Heat's 159-


win club from last season:
Eddie Jones was traded to
Memphis, and Damon Jones
signed with Cleveland as a
free agent.
In their place are four
legitimate starting candi-
dates, whom Miami
acquired without sending
payroll skyrocketing or los-
ing either of its superstars,
Shaquille O'Neal or Dwyane
Wade.
Now, it's time for Miami
to put the new pieces togeth-
er. "We know we can win,"
Wade said. "That's what
we're all here for. ... This is
my third year here and it's
like it's my third different
team, but we can win."
Expectations may be
higher than ever for the Heat
as they pursue their first
NBA title.

O'Neal-- who signed a
$100 million, five-year deal
this summer -- promises that
Miami will advance further
than it did last year, which
would mean at least reach-
ing the Finals. Wade made a
meteoric rise to superstar-
dom, and insists he'll get


even better.
He and O'Neal will find
plenty of new faces.
In the 13-player, five-
team trade that sent Eddie
Jones to Memphis, the Heat
got point guard Jason
Williams and forward James
Posey and landed forward


Antoine Walker from
Boston. Later in the sum-
mer, free-agent point guard
Gary Payton still seeking
his first title signed a one-
year deal and most likely
will be Williams' backup.
And Miami drafted Kansas
forward Wayne Simien.

i be a couch potato
tiis week. Get up
and get moving!
There's much to
be done before you can rest.

August 22) Any
legal dealings
should be handled

fully. You don't want to sign
onto anything you're not
aware of.

Large Elusive Rodent

Found Dead In Ohio

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- An elusive kangaroo-like
animal that was on the run in west-central Ohio for near-
ly two weeks was found dead along a rural road, the
apparent victim of a hit-and-run driver.
Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly said the animal, a
Patagonian cavy, was found along state Route 41 south-
east of Springfield on Monday.
Much of Clark County had been on a round-the-clock
cavy watch after a woman reported seeing the long-
legged animal, the world's second-largest rodent and a
native of South America, hopping along her street in
South Charleston on Sept. 21.
Live traps were baited with bits of melon, but .the
cavy remained free.
Kelly was close enough to throw a blanket over the
elusive critter one night last week but didn't know how
to proceed. Kelly said he didn't want to just throw him-
self -- at 185 pounds -- on the animal that stood about 3
feet tall and weighed about 30 pounds.
When he hesitated, the cavy got away.
But Kelly, who was skeptical about the sightings at
first, became a believer.
"It didn't run away; it sprang away," Kelly said. "It
did, for all of the world, look just like a kangaroo bound-
ing away, its head bobbing up every now and then from
the soybean field."
The cavy had escaped from an exotic animal farm
whose owner hasn't been identified by authorities.
The cavy's carcass was turned over to him, Kelly
said.
Springfield is about 43 miles west of Columbus.

Prison Employee Ringer

Lands In Prison
SNEADS, Fla. A former minor league baseball
player who worked for the state Department of
Corrections for enough time to help prison guards win a
softball tournament has been arrested, a Department of
Law Enforcement warrant showed.
The warrant from FDLE Inspector Travis Lawson
alleges Mark Guerra, 33, was paid $1,247 for four
weeks as a library employee at the Apalachee
Correctional Institution, but was not required to show up
for work.
Guerra told investigators he was hired to work at the
prison library, but later said he was hired to play softball
for the Apalachee Correctional Institution.
He said he played in 'the 24th annual Florida
Department of Correction Secretary's Tournament in
Jacksonville, which the prison team won.
Guerra, of Grand Ridge, was arrested Monday night
and booked into a Jackson County jail on a charge of
grand theft. Jail records show Guerra was released on his
own recognizance.
There was no telephone listing for Guerra and no
information on whether he had legal representation.
Robby Cunningham, a spokesman for the
Department of Corrections, said he could not comment
on the ongoing investigation. Guerra no longer works
with the department.
