The United States Violence Policy Center issued their annual report about two weeks ago showing that in 2003, black women were mur- dered at a rate three times higher than white women: 2.95 per 100,000 versus 0.98 per 100,000. On Monday, Janese James, 43, of Arlington, was found beaten and unconscious in her home, in critical condition. James' friends became concern because she did not attend church Sunday, did not report for work Monday and had last spo- ken -to family members on Friday. Her husband of three months, Dwayne James, 35, had not been seen and a search was instituted for him while his wife remained in criti- cal condition at Shands Jacksonville. It was not until late Wednesday that Dwayne Females continued on A-7 Murder-Suicide Leave Four Children Under 12 Without Parents Michael & Felecia Jenkins CLAY COUNTY, Fla. - Clay County Sheriffs office reported that deputies, detectives, nego- tiators and SWAT mem- bers responded to a 10:30 a.m. call to a home owned by Michael Jenkins, 33 and Felecia Jenkins, 31, advising that a man was threatening to harm his wife and himself.

For months, there were peo- ple marching with signs saying "Danger, Danger, Danger - Warning.... Your Child's Health is at Risk." Well this week, all of the 750 children attending Head Start at that site, were officially moved from the Forest Park Center and finally, the protest is over. Dr. Richard Danford was able to get them all out of the center ahead of schedule. The EPA has vowed to clean the site, which was once the location of an incinerator that spewed toxic ash for years. They have not indicated when the clean up will begin for the area but for the children and their families, such a move is a welcome relief.

Thousands in Breast Enrolled Cancer Study Thousands of women have joined the Bullet Bob Hayes To Be Inducted Into The U. S. Olympic Hall of Fame Bob Hayes JACKSONVILLE. Fla. -- There has only been one man in the world to win an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring and that man was a Jacksonville native and Matthew Gilbert High School grad- uate "Bullet" Bob Hayes, also known as the "World's Fastest Human" after he won two gold medals at the 1964 Olympics. Hayes died in 2002 and in 2005 he will be induct- ed into the U. S. Olympic Hall of Fame. He had an outstanding track and field record and afterwards, played for eleven years with the Dallas Cowboys where they won the Super Bowl in 1971. Even though Jacksonville residents annually push for Hayes to be placed in the NFL Hall of Fame, and he has been nominated, he has not yet been selected. But the city is proud - Hayes will be in the Olympic Hall of Fame. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Shelton Chappell was ten months old when his moth- er was murdered and died from a bullet fired by at least one man because he and three other white men set out to kill a black per- son during the period of racial strife in ]America. Because of the desire of these four men, Chappell and his nine brothers, and sisters were left without a mother. Shelton said he was placed into ten foster homes while growing up.

Of the four men, all are still living and only one was tried and convicted for the murder. He served three years for manslaugh- ter and was therefore made to testify a few weeks ago since he cannot be tried again. All of the men admitted to the shooting.

Her recent efforts C. Delores have been campaigns against violent Tucker and misogynistic lyrics in rap and hip-hop music. She accused the music companies of celebrating rape, torture and murder, and in 1995, read lyrics from one of Time Warner artists that depicted drug use and violence against women.

Morial, President/CEO, National Urban League RON WILLIAMS, SR. NEWS EDITOR CHERYL COWARD DESIGN EDITOR BETTY ASQUE DAVIS COLUMNIST Many of us, still reeling physically and psychologi- cally from the back-to-back battering of our Gulf coast by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the controversies the governmental responses have provoked, may momentarily find it difficult to recall the man-made tragedy that had consumed our attention for much of the summer. It was the terrorist bomb- ings that struck London in July. In some ways, that moment now seems far away. But that feeling is an illusion we should not allow our- selves to hold too long. The London terror bombing will not be the last in the West; a future tragedy looms. That craven attack proved once again that it is not only nature humankind must fear. Predictably, it also brought renewed calls from some quarters for authorities to use racial profiling in the war against global terrorism. In this instance, propo- nents of racial profiling asserted that because the London terror bombers were people of color, authorities are justified in being suspi- cious of all people of color and singling individual peo- ple of color out for greater scrutiny simply because those individuals are people CLARA McLAUGHLIN CRISWELL PUBLISHER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of color. Writ large, this is the essence of the argument for racial profiling, whether it be for the war against terror, or the racial profiling some claim American law enforce- ment is justified in using to ferret out criminals in the U.S: race and/or ethnicity should be used as markers of suspicious individuals, and those individuals should be considered guilty until proven innocent. But no matter how glib the words and how tortured the logic, the fundamental characteristic of racial profil- ing remains: its proponents always advocate its use against people who don't look like them. That was so for the racial profiling that marked the early stages of the barbaric Nazi campaign against German Jews in 1930s Germany. That was the crux of the racist "logic" that led to the imprisoning of Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans in con- centration camps in the U.S. during World War II. That is so for those who declare that African Americans' and Hispanic Americans' dispro- portionate involvement in street crime justifies the police racial profiling of indi- viduals of both groups. 4D p * * * * *8 * * S U* mO w~ua0 LM- m ______ 0 - - urn *jf - .-~ - E 0 0 e me - L. 4- a) n - C C-C Hi Jacksonville Bennett's Ace Hardware 8080 W.

Nor do I recall calls for the racial profiling of certain kinds of white men during the years the anti-abortion bomber Eric Robert Rudolph was the object of a massive federal manhunt. For me, however, the most conclusive proof of racial profiling's racism came in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack-and, ironically, it came from African Americans. In late September 2001 two national polls found that African Americans were more likely than other Americans to favor the racial profiling of Arab Americans and Arab nationals-findings which at first clearly dis- mayed leading African- American politicians, schol- ars and activists. But, as Hugh B. Price, my predecessor as president and chief executive of the National Urban League, wrote at the time, black Americans' immediate response perhaps shouldn't have been all that surprising. He cited the points made by Professor Alvin Poussaint, of Harvard Medical School, that the poll numbers showed how profoundly angered African Americans, whose deep-rooted patriotism is only rarely acknowledged, were by the attacks; and may also have reflected black Americans' historical, unshakable commitment to reforming America through nonviolent social and politi- cal means. But Hugh Price also wrote that blacks' stance in the polls was "more evidence of the perniciousness of racial profiling itself... These polls' show that whenever people speak in favor of racial profiling, they always favor its use against some other group, not theirs. "That said," Price contin- ued, "for any African Americans, or anyone else, to think that a policy of racial profiling of those who 'look' Arabic would be confined to those who are of Arabic descent, is ludicrous. [There is plenty of] tragic evidence that many Americans, includ- ing some who are African- American, have trouble telling people of color apart.' What Hugh Price wrote then remains true today. As we must take the strongest measures possible to guard against terrorism, we must also remain vigilant that we adhere to the standards of civil rights and civil liber- ties-and human decency- that makes our society worth saving. e es a F tll fm ,lty MA ,4AII* iA m I 1' "t l lt ,\' ,; k., % C L, A i I 1.,#I"" PAGE A-3 OCTOBER 15, 2005 Faith In Our Community -Schedule of Events and Services- CHURCH AND PASTOR' Matthew Baptist Church, located at 3731 Moncrief Rd., will 'celebrate the 104th Anniversary of the Church and 42 Years of dedicated service of the Pastor, Rev.

To give specific details concerning the funeral service. Some alternative functions could be: 1. Memorial donations information: "In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to ...." 2. To list surviving members of the family and pay' tribute to those predeceased (so friends/family can identify the deceased). 3. To announce special thanks to care workers, hospital staff, clergy, etc. Obituaries can be written at the time of death or before. Many people find it helpful to write their own obituary notice in advance for the following reasons: 1. The surviving family mem- bers might not rennember, or struggle to find, specific dates (birth, employ- ment, retirement, previous deaths). 2. They might not know proper spellings of people's names, places, companies or organizations. 3. They might not know all of the deceased's memberships to vol- unteer organizations and community clubs. 4. It could specify a favorite charity for donations that the surviv- ing family wouldn't have thought of Some people find that they can save money by placing a shorter obituary notice into their local newspaper and making use of the longer ver- sion as part of the eulogy said by the clergy, family member or friend.

"There's Always Something Happening On The First Coast" A More Than Usual Grand Reopening for Jenkins Quality BBQ Usually when there's a grand opening or reopening of a business establishment there are usually coupons for discounts or maybe free beverages. This was not the case when family owned Jenkins Quality BBQ Restaurant at US 1 and Edgewood Avenue reopened recently. And who would have ever thought that the reopening of the US 1 and Edgewood Avenue restaurant would mean a complete complimentary meal of the restaurant's famous quality barbecue, which included dessert and a beverage for all patrons during the standard lunch period? "We wanted to show our appreciation to our wonderful customers who have been with us for the past forty-eight years," stated Jenkins Quality BBQ's CEO/President Mrs. Meltonia Jenkins-May. And during the lunch period patrons and friends waited in the fast moving line for this delicious meal. While waiting in line they were entertained by The Fabulous Moods of Roger Glover, refreshed with Dr. Charlotte Powell's Gourmet Punch (She has twenty-six flavors of punch. She also decorated for the affair along with serving her Gourmet Punch for the luncheon guests). Councilwoman Mia Jones blessed the reopening with a soul stirring prayer. It was truly a blessing as the US 1 location had been closed for over a year due to the establishment being extensively dam- aged when a surprise tornado touched down in the area. The luncheon guests moved so orderly and patiently as they waited being served. Yours and Mine Boutique owner Mrs. Lillian Smith was the dessert hostess at the reopening. It was truly a family affair and even though Mr. Melton Jenkins has turned the reigns of the business over to his daughter, he was there as always with that welcoming trademark smile that he is known for attended by his caregiver Mrs. Sandra McNeil and cousin Derrick Edmondson. And the family business includes not only the daughters Mrs. Meltonia Jenkins- May, Mrs. Wilhelmenia Jenkins Brown and Ms. Pam Jenkins and grandchildren but also the long-term staff members such as Mrs. Gussie Johnson who has been with the business for twenty-seven years. Jenkins Quality BBQ Restaurant began in the late 1950's on Kings Road across from the College Gardens Subdivision. "Later my father Mr. Melton Jenkins would open a restaurant at 1513 West Beaver Street," states Mrs. Jenkins-May. During the 1970's the family expanded the business opening the US 1 and Edgewood location and today you can also- enjoy Jenkins Quality BBQ at locations downtown on Pearl Street, on the Southside at Emerson Street and on Kings Road in the heart of the. Edward Waters College cam- pus. In fact Mr. Jenkins in recent years donated a parcel of property on Kings Road to the college to expand its campus. This entrepreneurial family had its beginnings in the First Coast's 'Sugar Hill' area on West Eighth Street. I can remember frequenting their convenience store after school day dismissal at Darnell-Cookman or during the weekly walks to the Wilder Park Library. When my family moved to College Gardens the distress of leaving my friends in the 'Sugar Hill' area was lessened somewhat when a familiar business of my earlier childhood opened in my hew neighbor- hood. My own family's tradition of savoring Jenkins BBQ has continued now to the fourth generation begin- ning with both our parents, siblings, our children and grandchildren. In fact one of the family meals must always be Jenkins Quality BBQ when my sons James C. Davis, Jr. (Nebraska) and Lorn C. Davis (Massachusetts) visit the First Coast with their families. And when we visit them we must always take them a gallon of Jenkins Quality BBQ's famous sauce. Coincidentally, the grand reopening was also my moth- er's eighty-seventh birthday. Having Jenkins Quality BBQ on her birthday really completed the day! Best Wishes to Jenkins Quality BBQ!

Women In Mid-Life Want Doctors To Discuss Risks Of Sex GAINESVILLE, Fla. they are too old for intimate Sex for newly single women relationships, a new can be a wonderful experi- University of Florida study ence, but it puts them at risk finds. for disease if doctors think Nearly two-thirds of middle-aged women who had re-entered the dating scene after widowhood or divorce said they considered themselves at risk for con- tracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted dis- eases, but their physicians rarely discussed those issues with them, said Kathryn Grant, who did the research for her doctoral degree in anthropology. Doctors, who also were interviewed for the study, said they considered female patients in their late teens and early 20s to be much more susceptible to HIV and AIDS, and in many cases never thought of their older, single patients as being sexually active, Grant said. "When doctors have their own biases that lead them not to think of a par- ticular group as having sex- ual health concerns, then they don't bother to bring the subject up and many patients don't feel .comfort- able discussing it," she said. "I think that most doc- tors are well-intentioned. But the doctor may think, 'Oh, this lady is in a wheel- chair,' or 'She has multiple health problems and so she's not sexually active,' only to learn later that she has caught syphilis or HIV." Bronson Steps Up Avian Influenza Surveillance Program TALLAHASSEE -- Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson today announced his Department is increasing its surveillance pro- gram of poultry in a stepped-up effort to look for virulent strains of avian influenza. Avian influenza is a serious dis- ease concern for poultry producers and animal health offi- cials. There are various influenza strains which vary consid- erably in severity. Some are devastating to domestic poultry. Recent information indicates an Asian strain can infect people and there is concern that the virus may mutate and allow for people-to-people spread. Currently, the Asian strain is spread to people by infected birds. Infected birds shed flu virus in their saliva, nasal secretions and feces. It is believed that most cases of bird flu infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms of bird flu in humans have ranged from typical flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat and aches to eye infections, pneumonia and severe respiratory diseases "Its important for the public to know that this Department is aggressively looking for any signs of danger- ous strains of avian influenza and has an ongoing outreach program to educate the industry and poultry flock owners about these diseases," Bronson said. The Department's Division of Animal Industry is increas- ing its collection and testing of samples, but the division has had a testing program for more than 20 years. Samples are regularly collected and tested from backyard flocks and commercial poultry breeding flocks. For the period of August 2004 through August 2005, the Department tested approximately 4,000 birds from over 300 premises or farms. Starting October 2005, the Department is implementing two enhanced programs. The first is a surveillance program which will involve increasing the number of birds tested at small animal sales sites, live bird markets, county fairs and exhibitions and botanicas. Under this program, it is projected that 6,000 birds will be tested. The second program is a surveillance program which will target the commercial poultry industry. This program is projected to test an additional 7,800 birds from 36 laying complexes and 25 broiler and pullet premises. All together, it is estimated that 15,488 birds, rep- resenting commercial and backyard flocks throughout Florida, will be tested by the Department, a 387 percent increase from the previous year. While the stepped-up test- ing is not directly related to the recent outbreak of Asian flu, Bronson says it's important that Florida take every step pos- sible to prevent the introduction of bird flu in this state. ~ ~1, .4 IrM PAGEA-5 F.OR nIA STA R PA CI? A.AF.RDSA COBR1,20 Black Man Beaten, Arrested By New Orleans Cops Appears In Court;Civil Rights Probe Opened Three New 'Orleans police officers are facing battery charges for beating a 64-year-old retired school teacher. The officers charged were identified as S.M. Smith, Lance Schilling and Robert Evangelist. Robert Davis (shown here) was booked on public intoxication, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intimidation. NEW ORLEANS-- Robert Davis ,A 64-year-old retired teacher accused of being drunk and resisting arrest, and whose beating by city police was caught on videotape, pleaded not guilty Wednesday, October 12. Davis and police offi- cials have said they did-not 'believe race was a factor. Davis is black; the three city police officers on the tape Robert Davis lies on the ground in the French Quarter as an Associated Press Television News crew records the action. are white. Davis said he had returned to New Orleans from Atlanta to inspect properties owned by family members. He said he was no longer' sure he'll return permanently to the city he has called home for 28 years. Davis claims that he has not had a drink in 25 years." They've got nothing," said Davis' attorney Joseph Bruno Bruno noted that charges of public intoxication, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intimida- tion were groundless and that they should be dropped. Davis said he wandered into the French Quarter in search of cigarettes before the confrontation. "I didn't do anything," said Davis, who said he had approached a mounted police officer to ask about the city's curfew. He said he had not been drinking before he was beat- en by two police officers, a weekend confrontation taped by an Associated Press Television News crew. Those officers and a third accused of grabbing and shoving an APTN producer have pleaded not 'guilty to battery charges. Another officer on foot "interfered and I said he shouldn't," Davis said. As he crossed the street, Davis said, he was hit and eventu- ally thrown to the pave- ment. 'Davis and his lawyer said no blood or breath tests, for drunkenness were administered following Davis' arrest. New Orleans police said they typically do not test people arrested for public intoxication. Spokesman Marlon Defillo said judges traditionally rely on an officer's expertise. Police, however, argue differently and the officers' lawyer, Frank DeSalvo, said they arrested a stumbling .Davis to protect him from himself. The Justice Department also has opened a civil rights investigation stemming from the incident. New Book Criticizes Blacks Who Use 'N' Word * BEVERLY HILLS, -- A new book criticizes African Americans who use the N- word. The book, written by H. Lewis Smith, is called "Bury That Sucka" and it is a non-fictional account of a scandalous, bizarre love affair that the black commu- exposing how they have been mesmer- ized by this. infa- mo us , diaboli- - H.

The book contends that the N-word is a Trojan horse that African Americans have accepted into their commu- nity not realizing or under- standing the peril in their actions and it is revealed as to why the users of this word COm .NITY HOSPICE OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA PRHE.-NTS .really needs to bury that sucka -- not only for the good of their community but the entire country. Smith says there no other race of people on planet earth who has taken -- or ever taken.-- a racial epithet and embraced it with such loving care as the black community has with the N- word, but is nonetheless insulted when this word is used by a non-black. He says mixed signals are sent to non-blacks. On one hand blacks want respect, but on the other hand blacks demonstrate lack of self-respect by refer- ring to each other with the N-word. Other assertions in the book are: There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- RESPECTFUL about call- ing one another the N-word. No one in their right mind 'goes around insulting them- selves to the extent that many African Americans do. Then, there isn't any other racial slur with almost 400 years 'of built up nega- tive energy such as the likes of the N-word. The N-word has power and is impacting and controlling the destiny of a community of unsus- pecting people and all of America as well.

U Economic Fallout From, Bird Flu a Concern SINGAPORE The United States and the World Health Organization on Wednesday warned that the economic impact from a flu pandemic would be enormous, and urged coun- tries to prepare for a possible outbreak reminiscent of the infamous 1918 flu epidemic that killed as many as 50 million people. Officials have repeatedly expressed concern that the H5N1 strain of avian influenza that has swept through poultry populations in many parts of Asia since 2003 and jumped to humans, killing at least 60 people, could mutate to become contagious among people. So far, most of the infections have been traced to direct contact with sick fowl. "If the (H5N1) virus mutates to allow easier human-to-human transmission, it could end in an influenza pandemic," said Paula Dobriansky, undersecretary for democracy and global affairs at the U.S. State Department. "There are also consequences for economic growth as well as regional and global secu- rity. ... It could kill millions." Dobriansky and Health Secretary Michael Leavitt are touring Southeast Asia after President Bush last month established the "International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza." Washington is pushing for a global strategy against H5N1 and other types of influenza. Dobriansky said U.S. officials have recently toured Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, China and Indonesia where people have died from bird flu, while $25 million has been allocated to identify "capacity-building needs" in those countries. Liberians Vote for First Postwar President MONROVIA, Liberia With U.N. tanks and troops standing guard, Liberians waited in long lines Tuesday to vote for the country's first postwar president, who many hope will bring stability to one of Africa's most turbulent countries. Turnout appeared to be strong, FT s- CNN O-mos. - mol OEM 0 me m b"1mu -m -oli C-, with some voters lining up hours before the polls opened in churches, schools and long- shuttered banks. Many sat on benches or hud- dled under umbrellas to shelter them from the broiling tropical sun. Some 1.3 million Liberians had registered to vote at more than 3,000 polling stations.Twenty-two candidates are vying for the top job in Liberia, in tatters after 14 years of nearly continuous civil war that ended with a peace deal in 2003. A transitional govern- ment has arranged the vote and 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers are keeping the calm. While no polling data exist, many believe the front-run- ner is former international soccer phenome- non George Weah, 39, whose rise from a Monrovia slum to athletic stardom has capti- vated much of Liberia's youth-- including many among the 100,000 demobilized fight- ers who raped, pillaged and murdered during the civil war. But Weah's critics say he has neither the education nor the management experience to govern Liberia's 3 million people. Also considered a contender is Ellen' Johnson-Sirleaf, a Harvard-educated, 66-year old veteran of Liberia's often-deadly politics. She has a long his- tory of work as a government minister and with overseas banks and international organiza- tions. Her detractors say she's part of.a political class that has only led to Liberia's ruination and needs to Pe swept aside. If voted into office, her campaign says shq would become Africa's first elected female president. OCTOBER 15,2005 PA E A_-6 FLORIDA STAR I W.-V OL OCTOBER 15, 20 005 PAGE A-7 The Nation's Energy Crisis Personal Responsibility Key to Hurricane Safety By Congresswoman Corrine Brown The Republican lead- ership has decided to address the nation's ener- gy crisis by decimating The Clean Air Act and granting billions of dol- lars in tax breaks to petroleum companies, instead of providing sub- stantive relief to alleviate our country's long term energy needs. Instead of attempting to utilize and explore alternative energy sources or increase fuel safety standards, the habitual response of the Bush administration has been to continually attack our nation's environmen- tal protection laws. The Energy bill passed on Friday, October 7th, is a perfect example of disas- trous Republican priori- ties. With respect to the environment, perhaps most alarming in the House Republican plan is a provision in their bill designed to allow busi- nesses to maneuver around what is known as "New Source Review." New Source Review allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure that the con- struction of new or modi- fied factories, industrial boilers and power plants will not significantly degrade the quality of our air. To circumvent NSR, the Republican Party's energy bill mandates that the EPA issue regulations to change the Clean Air Act's New Source Review permit process. It also requires the EPA to use "maximum legal flexibili- ty," to allow energy pro- Females continued from A-1 James was located, arrest- ed and charged with aggravated battery and attempted murder.

She immediately ran out of the store where he followed her, according to witness and set her on fire with a match. Records show that she had obtained an Ex Parte order in July but it was can- celled in September. She suffered third- degree bums over 50 per- cent of her body, as a cus- tomer quickly came to her aid to put the fire out. Her husband calmly walked away and was arrested late that evening. Hargrave was charged with attempted murder and assault. On Wednesday Jacksonville's, Fire & ducers to proceed with projects that improve their efficiency, irrespective of any potentially adverse environmental conse- quences. To me this seems like an obvious attempt to evade basic Clear Air protections. Moreover, in addition to practically doing away with New Source Review, this bill allows the presi- dent (in consultation with the EPA and the Energy Department) to temporari- ly waive federal or state regulations that require the use of any special type of fuel or fuel additive to relieve an extreme "sup- ply emergency" caused by a natural disaster. Based on the Bush administra- tion's environmental record thus far, I have very little confidence that their decision process to waive regulations will involve any concerns for the environment. Rather, they will likely succumb to the whims of the ener- gy industry. Aside from the delete- rious environmental pro- visions in this bill, one can clearly see that H.R. 3893 is not only about debasing the environ- ment, but also about increasing profits for the oil industry. In fact, the House recently passed a Republican led bill just two months ago that pro- vides billions of dollars in tax breaks for fossil fuel production. One of the most salient features of H.R. 3893 is a provi- sion entitled "risk insur- ance," which in reality, is little more than an allowance for refineries to receive taxpayer subsi- dies. Ironically, these Rescue Division respond- ed to a call on Carthage Drive and found the body of a black female inside the residence. The deceased lady was Tarnesha J. Ellis, 23- years-old. Because Steven W. Montgomery, 28, was seen leaving the house in a 2004 Suzuki, he was sought for ques- tioning and arrested Thursday morning. The cause of death is ongoing and a statement has not been made about the charges for Montgomery's arrest. He is still a person of interest. Sheriff John Rutherford, CEO Ellen Siler of the Hubbard House and law enforce- ment officers from Baker, Nassau, Clay, St. John counties and the beaches, as well as representatives from the Quigley House, subsides pay oil compa- nies for their attempts to escape legal challenges if they evade local, state and federal laws and regula- tions. This provision states that the Interior Department would have to pay energy conglomer- ates for the cost of any delay in opening a new facility if the delay is related to a lawsuit that "could not have been rea- sonably foreseen." Obviously, requiring the federal government to cover the costs of delays in the opening of refiner- ies including court costs and lost business sets an extremely dangerous precedent! To conclude, even though I am thankful that the bill does not include provisions that would have lifted the federal ban on natural gas drilling off the Outer Continental Shelf in my state of Florida, I remain whole- heartedly opposed to this bill. Indeed, it does very little to offset high energy prices, nor does it do any- thing to address vehicle fuel-efficiency standards or explore alternative energy sources. What's more, it does not do any- thing to assist Americans with the skyrocketing cost of gasoline, which ironi- cally, is its stated purpose.

We have a superb emergency management team, and comprehensive evacua- tion and disaster response plans are in place- including plans for med- ically dependent citizens and those with no person- al transportation. In addi- tion, both the city and JEA learned valuable les- sons on storm cleanup and repair from last year's hurricane season and have implemented changes to make those efforts more timely and efficient. From a municipal stand- point, we have a deep bench and we are ready. Unfortunately, all that preparation means noth- ing if families and indi- viduals do not know what to do, where to go, and how to get the help they need. The most impor- tant thing you can do to keep your family safe in a weather emergency is to create a personal dis- aster plan. If you and your family don't have a plan, sit down today and create one. First, determine whether or not you live in an evacuation zone. As a coastal city crisscrossed by rivers, streams and wetlands, Jacksonville is at high risk for flooding from heavy rains and storm surge and the risk is not limited to the beaches. A storm surge on our coastline would affect Murder continued from A-1 available for comments much of the city. If Jacksonville were hit by a Category 3 hurricane, for example, the storm surge alone would cover Water Street and Bay Street downtown. The water would flood The Landing, the Times Union Center and many down- town office buildings and extend nearly up to City Hall. That same storm would submerge the lions in San Marco Square and swamp the sports com- plex and the port. Homes in the Charter Point area of Arlington would be flooded all the way up to the second floor, and all of Little Marsh Island would be underwater. Add heavy rainfall to that equation and you can see why some of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history have claimed so many victims inland as well as on the coast. To find your evacua- tion zone status, go to the City of Jacksonville's Web site, www.coj.net, and click on the "Are you in an evacuation zone?" link. This will take you to the city's GIS site, where you can determine exactly what your status is under various hurricane scenar- ios. You can also get this information by calling CityLink, the City of Jacksonville's customer service center, at 630- CITY (630-2489), or from the reference librarian at any Jacksonville Public Library. Once you know your Jacksonville Peyton mayor John evacuation status, create a plan. Where will you go if you need to evacuate? How will you contact family members in the event of an emergency? What do you need to take with you? What steps will you take to protect your property? What will you do with pets? Then, assemble your emergency supplies. A complete list of items you might need is available in the Hurricane Guide on www.coj.net, and in other hurricane guides produced by local news organizations and merchants. Jacksonville hasn't experienced a direct hit since Hurricane Dora, 41 years ago. But our luck could change at any time. Think about what would happen in our city in your neighborhood if a storm like Katrina hit the First Coast. Then, get your family together, cre- ate a disaster plan, and evacuate if you are told to do so. It could literally mean the difference between life and death. at this time but, an account has been set up at Bank of America for the children of Michael and Felecia Jenkins and ask that well wishers please contribute to the Educational Fund, Account #005561664896, for these chil-' dren, in lieu of flowers.

Civil Rights Groups Demand Answers on Florida's Overuse of Zero Tolerance School Discipline Policies The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund said that Florida schools, in the name of safety, have implemented unforgiving, overly harsh discipline practices that remove children from school and brand them as criminals for acts that rarely constitute a crime even when committed by an adult. Through the state, many public schools have begun to rely almost exclusively on suspen- sions, expulsions and arrests as the primary methods of discipline, turning schools into feed- ers for the juvenile and criminal justice system. Therefore, they are having hearings around the state, meeting with parents and educators. A hearing was held in Jacksonville on Thursday at Edward Waters College.

We tell students they'll need to keep learning after high school and college to be 'successful in the work- place. Letters. I've received recently have certainly reflected that column read- ers of all ages have educa- tion questions. I'll use this column to share a few let- ters and responses with. you. Making good use of computer time Q: One student wrote, "I.have just recently decided to quit playing computer games, loitering on the computer and surf- ing the Net with.no reason other than school research. The amount:; of time I. spend on the computer has decreased to a point of almost- nonexistence. IT have high achievement- goals and want to attend a- prestigious college. What kind of computer time is beneficial, and is my deci-,- . sion hazardous to my future plans?" A: Having .computer skills is a plus for any.stu- dent. Good keyboarding skills and the ability to research topics on the Internet are really useful in college. while e it's O.K. to use the computer to relax during downtime. \ou might waant to think of ways: to use the computer to grow, such as using it for school research or even' learning. software that might be of use in college or a career. My son, for example, is currently learning. JAVA program- ming. The most important thing to look at is how you are spending your time - and to ask yourself if you could use that time more productively. After coursework, other factors play a part in your success. Are you motivated? Do; you spend enough time doing home- work? Do you, keep TV- watching to a minimum? Do you read outside of class? Are you exploring other interests or develop- ing. other talents, such as participating' in sports, playing a musical instru- -ment. or enjoying. a- hobby? -There are many worthwhile things that you can do outside of school- work that \\ ill contribute to a well-rounded life. All of these things could be- more important to your `-future success than using the computer. Taking advanced courses It's always great to hear that students are thinking ahead about their college and' career plans, and eighth grade is not too soon. Q: A student graduat- ing from eighth grade wrote, "I am wondering how I will be able to regis- ter in a coinmmunity college and take ad\ anced courses so I will be ahead." A: I recommend that any student thinking about taking advanced courses start by talking to their COLLEGE" SRsRCAREERp | -CORNER By Rose Rennekamp high school's counselor. Counselors can give you the best advice based on your academic record and career goals. They also know the local colleges, as well as courses offered that might be beneficial. For example, some states have "dual enrollment" programs that pay' all or a portion of the costs of some classes. Some col- leges require students to take a college entrance exam, such as the ACT Assessment, prior to applying to take courses. Your counselor will know the policies and proce- dures for your state and school district. More importantly, school counselors can help you decide if it is the right time for you to .take advanced courses. Much depends on your educa-, tional background and your plans. After talking with your. counselor, make an appointment to visit the local community college. It will give you a sampling of the college atmosphere. Most community colleges have advisers available to . work with younger stu- dents. Finding teaching positions I- also received a letter from an adult reader who suggested he might be one of the missing teachers I referred to in the column about the national teacher shortage.-' Q: He wrote, "Years ago I obtained a teaching certificate but couldn't find work locally, so I started my own business. Recently, I decided to try again and re-certified; and once again there were no additional science teachers needed where I live. I guess my only hope is to relocate. It would be very helpful -if there was a national directory of avail- able teaching positions." A: Finding good. teachers, especially ones in. math and science, is one- of the most important issues facing our country. Unfortunately, the amount of need varies from region. to region.

Cost was by far the most frequently mentioned obstacle to attending college, cited by half the respon- dents. The Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable foundation, released the poll during the kick off of its Florida "Paying for College" bus tour at'Tallahassee's Godby High School where students participated in a workshop on planning and paying for college. The bus tour is part of The Sallie Mae Fund's new $-1 million financial aid awareness campaign aimed at clos- ing the financial-aid information gap that hinders many low-income and minority Floridians from pursuing a col- lege education. The Mason-Dixon survey* was conducted Aug. 1-8. Five hundred Hispanic and 500 African-American youths ages 18-24 were randomly selected and inter- viewed by telephone. In each subgroup, half (250) had attended or graduated college ("achievers") and half did not ("potentials"). Respondents said that by far, cost is the largest obsta- cle to attending college. And there was a strong correla- tion between awareness of financial aid and the decision to pursue a college education. The survey has a margin or error of plus/minus 4.5 percentage points, which means there is a 95 percent probability that the true fig- ure would fall within that range if all Hispanic or African-American youths were surveyed. New Poll Shows Lack Of Awareness About Financial Aid Is Barrier To College For Minorities TALLAHASSEE, Fla., October 11, 2005 -Ninety five percent of Hispanic young people and 80 percent of African-American young people in Florida not currently enrolled in college said they would have been more like- ly to attend college if they had better information about how to pay for it. That's the result of a new Mason-Dixon poll released today by The Sallie Mae Fund. The survey is part of The Sallie Mae Fund's new $1 million financial aid awareness campaign aimed at clos- ing the financial-aid information gap that hinders many low-income and minority Floridians from pursuing a col- lege education. The centerpiece of the campaign is a 10- i city, seven-county "Paying for College" bus tour in part- nership with local financial aid experts. The tour will feature workshops on planning and pay- ing for college for high school students and their parents in Spanish. and English, one-on-one counseling, and free educational materials. The survey also found that 60 percent respondents said they would have been better students in high school if they had known that financial aid was available. J Other-key findings of the survey include: An overwhelming majority more than '80 per- cent of Hispanic and African-American youths sur- veyed said that a college education is important to an individual's "future opportunities, financial security and happiness." A substantial majority from each eroup said they Page B-106f~beiri'i6_ 200! The; F16Ada'a tair/'Pre'p Rapp filPATS HG HG0CHOOL. FOOTBALL ).. H.IGHL.,IG.

The album, ""Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture Get Rich Or Die Tryin"", will be released on November 8. The film, directed by Jim Sheridan (In America, My Left Foot) will open in theatres on November 9. The soundtrack will be released on G Unit/Interscope Records and will feature all new music from 50 Cent, and the entire stable of artists on his G Unit Records Imprint. The first single, "Window Shopper," is a track that exposes the mentality of a rapper who can't afford to btly the things he wants and feels he deserves. It also serves as a focal point for some of the movies most poignant scenes. Earlier this month, the album track "Hustler's Ambition" was dropped to give people a taste of what to expect from the soundtrack. Its grimy nature will take you back to where it all began, the hungry streets of Queens. DJ's across the country are spinning this track uncontrollably in the clubs. "I created the music for the soundtrack while I was actually filming the movie. I had a studio trailer with me and would record every day between takes," comments 50 Cent. "I keep telling you, I'm the hardest working man alive." 50 Cent executive produced the album. Sha Money XL is co-executive producer with Dr. Dre and Hi-Tek pro- viding further production. Mase, Nate Dogg and newly signed G Unit members Mobb Deep and M.O.P are also featured on the album.

He quickly backed away from the proposition, saying "That would be an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down." It's unfortunate that Bennett chose to be so politically correct, because I think he may be onto something here. He's just wrong about the target. If we really want to get tough on crime, it's the white babies who should start getting the coat hanger treatment. Consider the fact that whites commit three times as many violent crimes as Blacks every year, just in raw numbers. This is just for ordinary "street crimes," such as assault. The numbers become skewed out of this world when you consider "white- collar" crimes (typically, the collar isn't the only thing that's white). For instance, job-related accidents and illnesses claimed the lives of 70,000 Americans in 1992, a significant portion of which can be chalked up to white employers neglecting to comply with occupational health and safety laws. According to studies, up to 64,000 die every year due to pollution and other environ- mental hazards produced by industry. Another 21,700 die due to consumer product deaths, costing the nation $200 bil- lion a year. Another $200 billion is lost annually due to white-collar embezzlement. These two statistics alone add up to over 26 times the amount of all the robberies and petty thefts committed every year combined! We should also not forget the ravages of the white-owned health care system and insurance industry. Around 18,000 adults are killed every year as a result of a lack of medical coverage. Over 25 thousand die as a result of unnecessary prescriptions and surgeries performed by mostly white doctors. All in all, corporate criminals take about 10 times as many lives as street crimi- nals. And I haven't even mentioned the white men who control the apparatus of state, which through war, sanctions and other means, kills hundreds of thousands, if not millions more. Over 100,000 civilians have died in Iraq alone, for example. I don't know about you, but every time I see a white man in a suit, I find a place to hide. Once I feel safe, I call the Department of Homeland Security to report his suspicious activity. I simply don't feel safe knowing that all these savage, white thugs are out walking the streets. After all, from Bob Chambliss to Timothy McVeigh to Eric Rudolph, by far most of the terrorist attacks in America have been committed by whites. Which brings me to my next point: even if a white guy isn't wearing a suit, you still shouldn't assume that he isn't dangerous. One can find a plethora of deadly and pathological behaviors uniquely prevalent among whites who look just as ordinary as you and me. Most notable among them are spree killing, serial murder and can- nibalism. About 90 percent of all serial killers are white men. Some other white pastimes include animal torture, vampirism, Satan worship, witchcraft, self-mutilation, eating disorders and child sexual molestation. White men engage in child sexual abuse at twice the rate of Black men. By aborting all the white babies, we will be protecting a great many children from the horror of enduring abuse4at the hands of white male sex perverts (pardon *"e - - jib.- AW a .~ -' 0 e-.0 - a a~ a * S - a - TUNE IN AND LISTEN TO IMPACT WITH THE FLORIDA STAR 0 rr I-,q - WCGL 1360 AM t f - a REAL TOPICS!

By Ron Williams Charles Knight has been driving Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) buses for a number of years. What he's seen tak- ing place at bus stops throughout the city is enough to make the average observer shudder. - During a meeting with The Jacksonville Concerned Citizens For Improved Bus Passenger Decorum and key JTA officials on Tuesday, October 12, Knight said he's seen individuals engage in criminal acts ranging from prostitution to drug traffick- ing occurring at bus stops sit- uated along his bus route. He says the activity is so profound that frightened bus passengers move blocks away from the official bus stop to safely board the bus. E.

They are not trying to hide. They are violent and they are threatening. I'm a bus driver. My business is peo- ple and I'm concerned about the poeple, said Kight who named fiver troubled spots where bus stops are located. .Some of the bus stops cited by Knight are located near the FCCJ Station, Beaver and Ocean Streets, Beaver and Liberty Streets, Newnan and Church Streets, the Phoenix Avenue near 11 Street, First and Market Streets, Sevneth and Hubbard Streets, and Union and Market Streets. Former City Councilwoman and State representative Denise Lee, who spoke on Decorum dur- ing the meeting, applauded Knight for coming forward to voice his concerns. She said that every 'traveler should be aware of the unwritten and written rules of behavior. "We really have to go back to the old way of doing things. We have to tell peo- ple when they are wrong...We have to take that risk," said Lee. Richard Gentry Lee and members of the Concerned Citizens urged Richard Gentry, JTA's new Chief of Security, to work with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office to step up surveilence of the bus stops. Gentry, a retired law enforcement official from Kansas City, MO., provided an update on things JTA is doing to make riding the bus a continued safe experience. He said plain clothes off duty police officers are rid-\ ing the buses and buses will be equipped with video cameras in the near future. "I think this (improving safety measures) is some- thing we can continue to do to make people feel safe. We .have to take a layered approach. Not just one thing will work. It's a combina- tion of everything," said Gentry. Gentry said passengers or citizens who see something unusual occurring at bus stops and on buses should call JTA authorities.. Mrs. Charlotte Hall, Supervisor of Bus Operations for JTA provided additional updates on progress being made by JTA to improve its service to pas- . sengers and the community. Lee Burner, Vice President of JTM, also addressed the group. During previous efforts the Concerned Citizens, under the leadership of Joseph Johnson, President, has worked with JTA to launch the "Don't Cuss On The Bus" passenger deco- rum campaign. The group also urged JTA to place automated sit' gage on buses informing passengers of the JTA Rules Of The Road. DEATH NOTICES AGGREY-Jason, died October 3, 2005.

Elaine Brown, candidate for Mayor of Brunswick became a registered voter in the city on November 5, 2004 and considers herself a part of the Geechee community. Now her res- idency in the city, because of her desire to become J mayor where 70% of the population is black, is being questioned. , Georgia Code 21-2- Elaine Brown 217, 15(b) says: "In deter- mining a voter's qualifica- tion to register and vote, the registrars to whom such application is made shall consider, in addition to the' applicant's expressed intent, any relevant circumstances determining the applicant's residence. The registrars taking such registration may consider the applicant's financial independence, business pursuits, employment, income sources, residence for income tax purposes, age, marital status, residence of parents, spouse, and children, if any, leaseholds, sites of personal and real property owned by the applicant, motor vehicle and other personal property registration, and other such factors that the registrars may reasonably deem necessary to determine the qualification of an applicant to vote in a primary or election. The decision of the registrars to whom such application is made shall be presumptive evi- dence of a person's residence for voting purposes."' After review and a determination is made, the person may receive registration. Elaine Brown is a registered voter who would be registered more than the required one year to be eligible to run for the position of mayor the city on Election Day, 2005. Why is a hearing necessary? According to Ms. Browning, the Geechee people and others in Brunswick have long been denied their rights as citizens to have a voice in the communities. She said Ms. Brown is being subjected to a vicious attack from the power brokers to disallow her qualification on a residen- cy challenge for the November ballot. The Geechee community rallied at the Glynn County Board of Election office on Thursday prior to the Board's decision, which will be announced on Friday, October 14 at 4:30 p.m. The Geechee community said, "Keep Elaine Brown on the Ballot!

VIOLATION OF INJUNCTION-On Monday, October 10, 2005 at 2:20 a.m., an officer responded to a reported battery call. Upon arrival, the officer met with a 25- year-old female (victim), who was holding the .back of her head. She had a cut, blood and swelling on the back of her head as well as a cut and swelling on her left wrist. She told, the police officer that her husband (suspect), whom she is separated from and has had an injunction against him since May 31, 2005, chased her to her front door, grabbed her and threw her down. The suspect then struck her several times with his fists and foot. A witness, who is a neighbor, corroborated the vic- tim's story and reportedly had to pull the suspect off the victim. On October 10 at 2:28 a,m. a police officer was dispatched to 501 E. Bay St. in reference to an individ- ual turning himself in on a warrant. Upon arrival, the police officer met with the suspect and the suspect advised that he had a warrant. The officer verified the warrant through ID and records. The officer read the suspect his rights, transported him to jail, and charged him with a felony. POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA-On Monday, October 10, 2005 at 7:10 a.m. an officer working at Andrew Jackson High School as the school resource officer, walked across the street to Main Street Convenience Store in reference to several students loi- tering. Upon approaching the store, the officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana proceeding from the area where the 18-year-old male (suspect) was standing.

The store manager stated that he observed the sus- pects enter the store and head to the kid's section. The officer learned that the suspects defeated the sensors on the clothes they had selected to steal, and went into the men's section of the store where they put the items in their purses. The store manager told the officer that prior to the suspects leaving the store, they placed their purs- es ,in the shopping cart and exited the store without pay- ing for the items. The store manager stated that he then stopped both suspects and held them until the police arrived. Both suspects agreed with the store manager as to what had taken place within the store. Both suspects had valid identification and a check with ID and records indicated that the 22-year-old suspect had been arrest- ed on August 28, 20Q5 and was not eligible for NTA.

A church pastor called deputies to remove 16 congregants who refused to stop singing as he tried to begin his sermon, according to a sheriffs report. Pastor David Noel reported a disturbance at the Bethanie Seventh-day Adventist Church to the Charlotte County Sheriffs Office when the group would not allow the Saturday morning service to continue. All 16 church members were issued trespass warn- ings and left the property without incident, according to a sheriffs report. One congregant who received a. warning said the group was protesting Noel's leadership and alleged mis- use of insurance money for damage to the church caused by Hurricane Charley. "We received $364,000, but he told us we only got $264,000 because he wanted to give $100,000 to anoth- er church in Fort Myers," Monique Robert said Monday. "But this money is for Bethanie. We want all the money for our church." Another congregant, Edourd A. Pierrelus,- alleged that Noel struck his chest and twisted his left earlobe during an Oct. 1 meeting to elect new church board members. "Many things are wrong in the church," Pierrelus told deputies Saturday. "We don't want him to be the pastor." Noel declined to comment to reporters Monday. "I don't have much to tell you, just that we are preaching the word .here," he said. Milton Sterling, ministerial director for the Southeastern Conference governing the region's Adventist congregations, said church officials were investigating the incidents.. WANT CUSTOMERS?

A 16-year-old student bit into a razor blade while eating a chicken sandwich he pur- chased at his high school, authorities said. Craig Beat was not injured when he found the blade in his chicken patty Sept. 21, the Flagler County Sheriffs Office said. Beat told school officials that he bought the sandwich at Flagler Palm Coast High School and sat down to eat it in the school's lunchroom, according to a sheriffs report. Investigators did not know how the razor blade got into the sandwich. A spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based company that prepares and distributes the sandwiches said an internal investigation concluded that the razor blade must have been inserted into the chicken patty after it left the plant were it was cooked and frozen. No razors are used in the manufacturing process, and all food leaving the company's plants pass through metal detectors, said Gold Kist Inc. spokeswoman Karla Harvill. Gold Kist products have since been removed from all cafeterias in the school district, officials said. Crime doesn't pay but we do! CRIME STOPPERS 1-866-845-TIPS (8477) No Names... No Faces...
