Clifford Baron McCloud (Sleepy), owner of Club Steppin Out, located in the 2700 block of N. Pearl Street.
Many thought of Club Steppin Out as the "Home of the Old Timers and Longshoremen." Most never thought it would
be a place where the owner would be shot and killed but, that is what happened early Saturday morning. Clifford
"Sleepy" McCloud, 38, according to witness, had asked some of the patrons of the club to leave. One of the three men
advised Sleepy that he would be back and as promised, he did return, but with a firearm. Some said there was a scuffle
outside of the club that turned into a gun fight. When it was all over, two others were injured, including'Sleepy's cousin,
who reported, was in a wheel chair. The three individuals that participated in the fight, immediately left the area. Some
members of the community say they know who shot Sleepy and thought that the suspect had been apprehended by the U.
S. Army. This had not been confirmed at press time.
McCloud's homegoing service will be held at the Philippian Community Church, 7578 New Kings Road, at 11:00 a.m.
Saturday, October 13, 2007. McCloud's murder was Jacksonville's 118th homicide for 2007.

Dr. Asa Hilliard Scholar/Liberator

Child Watch Column
By Marian Wright Edelma, President of the Children's Defense Fund


We lost a giant in August
when educator, psychologist
and historian Asa G. Hilliard
III died while leading a
study tour in Egypt. Asa
Hilliard was a pioneering
scholar who sought a
greater balance in the histo-
ry curriculum as it is taught
in American elementary and
secondary schools and at the
university level. He was a
special kind of freedom
fighter who struggled to lib-
erate us from the bondage of
ignorance of our rich
African heritage.
He said, "Basic change
in our condition as a people
must begin with our change
of mind." Many of us can
remember when the worst
thing we could call some-
body we didn't like was
"Black." Asa worked to
spread cultural wellness by
helping Black people
become grounded in their
African heritage and expel
the negative self images
acquired from the dominant
culture.
Asa Hilliard was born to
a father who was a high
school principal and a moth-
er who was a Pentecostal
minister in Galveston,
Texas. He graduated from
the University of Denver in
1955 and received a mas-
ter's degree in counseling in
1962 and a doctorate in edu-


national psychology from
the University in 1963. He
taught at San Francisco
State University for 18
years concluding his tenure
,there as Dean of Education.
Since 1980, he was Fuller
E. Callaway Professor of
Urban Education at Georgia
State University.
Dr. Hilliard traveled
extensively in Africa and
his scholarship was based
on the direct study of the
Dogon and Akan peoples of
West Africa. He was one of
the founders of the
Association for the Study of
Classical African
Civilizations. It was
through the Association that
he led 1,000 students and
scholars to Aswan, Egypt,
in 1987 to study Nile Valley
civilizations. He made huge
contributions to education
in other lands as a consult-
ant to the Peace Corps and
Superintendent of Schools
in Monrovia, Liberia.
A founding member of
the National Black Child
Development Institute, Asa
Hilliard was first and fore-
most an educator who
believed that every child
can learn. He was always
correcting the historical
record and opposed the mis-
teaching of European and
American history and
sought an inclusive truth in

a


historical courses. In addi-
tion to stand-alone courses
on African history and cul-
ture, he developed K-12
school curricula that
infused African and African
American content in virtu-
ally all subjects. For
instance, math students
might learn how ancient
Egyptians counted.
Not only did he push for
the story of African
Americans to be included in
the stream of historic
instruction, but he also
insisted that the experience
of peoples of Latin
American, Asian and
Native American descent be
included in the curriculum.
Much of this was focused
on building self-esteem
among young people of
color. Dr. Hilliard was a
strong opponent of cultural-
ly biased IQ and standard-
ized tests and charged that
these tests operated to
exclude minority applicants
who are, most in need of
higher education.
He refused to treat the
study ofAfrican history as a
static academic subject and
worked to introduce the cul-
tural content of the pre-
enslavement African expe-
rience into current social
systems. He said, "We must
go back through the Door of
No Return, transforming it
to the Door of Return,
reconnecting to our tradi-
tions and propelling our-
selves forward in a direc-
tion of our own choosing."


Rather than call a meeting,
Asa would convene a
"Mbongi," a Ki-Congo term
for a gathering of a commu-
nity to solve a problem
where everyone has an
equal opportunity to con-
tribute. He insisted upon
redefining common miscon-
ceptions about the status of
Black Americans like reject-
ing efforts to "close the
achievement gap" between
Black and White students,
and instead promoting the
closing of the excellence
gap between Black students
and their potential.
Asa Hilliard died on
August 13, 2007, in Cairo of
complications from malaria.
He was 73. His transition
leaves a huge gap we must
all work to fill. He felt that
there was still much more to
do. He said, "We do not
have sufficient cultural cen-
ters, movements, monu-
ments and celebrations to
highlight important experi-
ences and to shape direc-
tions. These things offer us
the opportunity to be reflec-
tive and to develop a more
firm vision of the future."
It seems appropriate that
he should die while doing
one of the things he loved
most: leading students on
the 20th annual study tour
of the Nile Valley.

"To evetry-
thing. there
is a se'asoo
"and ia timef
to every purpose under the heav-
en. A time to be born, and a time
to die. "--Ecclesiastes 3:1-2.
No one wants to talk about
death and funerals. Too depress-
ing. Unfortunately, death is a fact
of life and there simply is no way
to avoid it. For indeed there is a
"time to be born and a time to
die."
You may want a traditional
funeral service with visitation
and a member of the clergy con-
ducting services at a church or a
funeral home. Would you want
an open or closed casket? Maybe
you want a special friend to do
the eulogy or family members to
read scripture passages or poetry.
Any favorite hymns?
First, you should shop
around and talk to a few funeral
directors. Yes, let your fingers do
the walking-comparing prices
for such things as casket,
embalming, ant the cost for pro-
fessional services.
Resist one-stop shopping,
which can include such things as


pra,,ei cards. th. mk-.oL Iotuie'
.and -ue.t rcgiiers-tdc,, .dd Lup
quickly Man,0 opt for thlie fer-
dl home in other, i neighburhuud
for personalized services.
Decide on body disposition.
Burial or cremation? If earth bur-
ial, a cemetery plot should be
purchased; if above ground, a
mausoleum crypt. If cremation is
the choice, plan disposition of
the ashes. Do you want them
stored in a columbarium niche or
buried? Maybe you prefer to
have your ashes scattered?
An option some people take
is to donate organs and tissues to
a medical school (have a donor
card and check on requirements).
If you would rather have a
memorial service express that
wish. That means a service in the
funeral home or a church where
the body is not present. A com-
mon misconception is that when
the body is cremated you don't
hold a funeral. You can hold a
funeral before cremation.

Introducing Athletic Hall of Fame
Inductee-Ernest Gibson
Educator, Coach, Volunteer, First Coast native
and All Around Gentleman Ernest Gibson, was
recently inducted into Tuskegee University's
Athletic Hall of Fame.
Gibson, who enrolled at Tuskegee University
then Tuskegee Institute on the G.I. Bill in 1950,
had an interest in sports and at first pursued foot-
ball. After one year as a football guard, he
switched to track and was member of the track
team for four years. He lettered each year. As a
member of the track team, Gibson ran the 100,
220 yard dash, 440, and 880 yard relay, along
with the sprint medley relay. He was Captain of
the Army R.O.T.C. Rifle Team for two years and
lettered in 1952.
Majoring in Industrial Education and being
active in campus life, Gibson was listed in
"Who's Who in American Colleges and
Universities". An active member of Kappa Alpha
Psi Fraternity, Inc. he served as secretary and was
also elected president of the Men's senate at
Tuskegee. In later years he earned the Master of
Science Degree from Florida State University.
The ambition to succeed and help in the train-
ing of others, took Gibson to the classroom where
he taught Industrial Arts for eighteen years and
advanced to department chairperson. During this
same period of time, he served as assistant foot-
ball coach, and head coach of the junior varsity
basketball team and track team. Later Gibson
served as an administrative assistant on the junior
high school level for twelve years, retiring with
thirty-three years of service in education.
Gibson devotes time and effort in spiritual and
social organizations, including the NAACP,
YMCA, and Habitat for Humanity, Salvation
Army and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. He is
a member of St. Paul AME Church where he
serves as a Steward, choir member, president of
the male chorus, and a member of the leadership
team.
Gibson is a strong, physical and financial sup-
porter of Tuskegee University through the
Jacksonville Tuskegee club, where he has served
as president and secretary. He participates each
year with club sponsored tours to the campus,
student scholarships, choir tours and the parade
of clubs. Additionally he has returned to campus
each year during the month of July to work with
the National Adopt-a-Dorm Program.
When we spoke with Mr. Gibson he stated, "It
was with deep humility and adoration that I
accepted the honor bestowed on me especially on
those hallowed grounds of 'Mother' Tuskegee.
When you do your best in whatever you under-
take the best will come back to you. This honor
will linger with me for as long as I am able to
recall this occasion."
Joining Gibson for this auspicious occasion
were his wife Dr. Lois Davis Gibson (his college
sweetheart), his daughter, The honorable State
Representative Ms. Audrey Gibson, his son The
Ernest Gerard Gibson and his family, Atlanta,
GA, Mrs. Andrea Williamson Kemp, Vincent
and Mrs. Paula Myrick, and long time friends
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mungin, Pittsburg, PA.
In fact, Mr. Mungin a Tuskegee University
Athletic Hall of Fame-er himself, nominated Mr.
Gibson for the 2007 group.
Congratulations to Ernest Gibson, a commit-
ted Tuskegee University Alumnus and wonderful
all around citizen!

notables who attended
the four-day confer-
ence featuring dozens
of policy forums, gen-
eral sessions, exhibits,
a job fair, book sign-

Twenty-thousand
people focusing on
issues impacting

year.
"We, are planning
an ALC filled with

ed to make a differ-
ence," said Elsie L.
Scott, Ph.D., presi-
dent and CEO of the
Congressional Black
Caucus Foundation,
which produces the
conference.
A new addition to
the conference was be
the Networking

Meant for seasoned
professionals, the
event allowed atten-
dees with similar
interests and back-
grounds to interact in
a semi-informal set-
ting.


"Attendees will get
to share a lunch table
with persons in their
fields or with those
in other fields, if so
desired to exchange
ideas and contact
information that will
be mutually benefi-
cial," Scott said.
"George C. Fraser,
with his proven expe-
rience in effective
networking, will share
tips and time will be
set aside after the
speech for the atten-
dees to put those tips
into action right
away."
On September 27,
Victoria Rowell, the
award-winning
actress, dancer and
author, hosted the
Instant Apprentice
Luncheon, during
which participants sat
with executives and
leaders in business,
government, educa-
tion, sports and non-
profit organizations.
The CBC Spouses
honored Quincy
Jones, the legendary
entertainer, and others
during a Celebration
of Leadership for the

together to provide
food, clothing and
health services to


families at a homeless
shelter, So Others
Might Eat (SOME).
Del. Donna M.
Christensen of the
U.S. Virgin Islands
and Rep. G. K.
Butterfield of North
Carolina were this
year's ALC co-chair-
persons. Both serve
on the CBCF board of
directors and have
been instrumental in
the Foundation's eco-
nomic development
programs.
"My colleague, Mr.
Butterfield, and I want
this conference to
bring generations of
leaders together to
reflect on conditions
in our communities,
share ideas and solu-
tions and enliven our
desire for change,"
Del. Christensen said.
Rep. Butterfield
said: "African
Americans must
address the countless
disparities that affect
our quality of life.
Coming out of ALC,
we.must harness our
power and renew our
commitment toward
strengthening our
families and cofimu-
nities."

Al Sharpton Meets 1c RQ t S. Acvy Antm Pr n t O
with Clarence


Thomas

Rev. Al Sharpton
released a statement
Tuesday about his
recent meeting with
embattled Supreme
Court Justice Clarence
Thomas.
The staunch con-
servative, and second
African American
appointed to the
nation's highest court,
recently released the
book My Grandfather's
Son: A Memoir. The
book details Thomas'
life from rural Pin
Point, Georgia to his
Supreme Court swear-
ing in ceremony.
In a release from
his National Action
Network, Sharpton
writes:
"Today I met with
United States Supreme
Court Justice Clarence
Thomas for an informal
conversation about a
range of issues and core
beliefs. Last week, I
declined the invitation
to attend his book party.
While there are many
specific issues that the
Justice and I respectful-
ly disagree about --and
those .disagreements
can be passionate-- the
Justice and I agreed that
we can disagree with-
out being disagreeable.
In particular, during our
meeting today we dis-
cussed our disagree-
ment over affirmative
action, and found that
we could, in fact have a
spirited debate without
resorting to dema-
goguery.
However, I think
the most important
point of our meeting
today is that conversa-
tion between individu-
als who are concerned
about civil rights is
vital even if there is no
agreement on the solu-
tion. To that end, I
expect to continue our
conversations, and
believe there will be
candid -- but respectful
-- conversations


between the Justice and
other civil leaders in the
months to come."

As you may know, there is an audacious move underway to add eighteen (18)
more months to Mayor Peyton's current term. Perhaps impeachment is the proper
Democratic pursuit at this time, rather than extending the Mayor's (and Council's)
tenures in office. TriLegacy, Courthouse, and ProLogic debacles exceeding $90
.million are crying out for Mayor Peyton's impeachment. The unjust, regressive,
and unnecessary fees confirm that Mayor Peyton, and Council members who sup-
ported him, should actually leave office ASAP. In essence, here are seven reasons
for which the respective terms should not be extended:

1. District Adulteration We don't need another 18 months of constituent
Misrepresentation that's embedded in certain Council Districts. If Peyton leaves on
time, perhaps those Council leaders who voted "yes" for the Administration on the
new fees, instead of following their constituents desires, will begin to do the right
thing by following the desires of their constituents.
2. Deceitful Administration Jacksonville doesn't need 18 more months of
wasteful Administration. Savings for dismissal at end of four year term will far
exceed savings for 18 month extension. At least $18 Million have been wasted or
mismanaged per year during Peyton's first four years in office. We could save $27
million by not keeping him another 18 months.
3. Disgusting Arrogance We really can't handle another 18 more months of
local governmental Arrogance e.g., in terms of new fees, the so called Town
Hall meetings were conducted without the Town meetings, new charges were
installed against the will of the people, public input that would have further cut the
budget was circumvented.
4. Distrust with Abomination Since Proverbs confirm that "lying lips are an
abomination", we shouldn't have to tolerate another 18 months truth Manipulation
- i.e., the Mayor said he'd return to the private sector at the end of this "four year
term". We should demand, at least in this case, that Mr. Peyton be a man of his
word.
5. Domineering Appearance Perhaps we need to confirm who really initiated
this proposed legislation. Could it be that the sponsor is just following an idea of
the Peyton Administration or its friends and thereby having outside forces domi-
nate the proposal idea and process?
6. Derelict Apologies We don't need another 18 months that could include more
sorry and insulting apologies. If you were here when the Mayor came down and
said he was sorry about ProLogic, it was as if he basically said, "I'm sorry I took
your lawnmower through ProLogic, but please forgive me and help me get ready
to take you automobile through the new regressive fees".
7. Degrading Apathy Don't need 18 more months of Apathy. We are facing
another potential record year in homicides. The Mayor and the Council consistent-
ly prove that they are more concerned with their own agendas than preserving Life
- e.g., the Mayor makes no speeches on this critical matter, he attends none of the
many funerals, and there is nothing to prove that he is actively engaged in reducing
and preventing murder.

Please vote "NO" to any legislation that would allow Mayor Peyton to stay in
office an additional eighteen (18) months. Again, we should perhaps be consider-
ing impeachment rather than an extension.

Marketers Target Black Youth


We're all consumers.
This is a definite fact for
those of us living amidst
extreme commercialism
here in the United States.
Yet most people aren't
cognizant of their own
power in the buying and
selling market and how
they are often exploited
for other people's gain.
According to a recent
report released by the
Selig Center for
Economic Growth at the
University of Georgia's
Terry College of
Business, African


American spending will
reach $845 billion in
2007 and is estimated to
top $1.1 trillion by the
year 2012. This is a lot
of buying power!
As consumers living
in the society that we do,
it is important to be
aware of what we are
buying and where our
hard earned dollars go.
African American youth
need to be particularly
aware of the marketing
campaigns set out to
manipulate- them into
buying things they often


times can't afford.
Luxury sneakers, elec-
tronic equipment and
other apparel. are expen-
sive. In fact, many
wealthy parents won't
even buy these items for
their children due to per-
ceived extravagance.
Race-based marketing is
prevalent in the United
States and several non-
profit organizations exist
solely to try and counter-
act the negative effects
of these advertising
campaigns on the minor-
ity youth influenced by


them.
\elhma LaPoint of
Howard University is
one such African
American academic
fighting to educate par-
ents and children alike
on the power of the
media to influence and
control their spending
habits. LaPoint speaks at
various academic con-
ferences and through the
non-profit organization
Campaign for a
Commercial Free
Childhood, stating that
African American youth
are targeted primarily
because they are trend-
setters. If black
American youth pick up
on a trend, then the rest
of the nation will follow
closely behind in accept-
ing it as the standard.
Marketers and advertis-
ers would thus foolish
not to cater to the
African American mar-
ket and black youth in
particular.
The Selig Center


states that African
American buying power
Will rise in 47 states this
year with the largest
market share increases
in Georgia. Naryland
and Nlississippi. These
states reflect the largest
black consumer markets
in addition to the District
of Columbia at 30.6o0.
In Nlississippi African
Americans reflect 24. 3o
of the consumer market.
Maryland at 22.2?. and
Georgia at 20.8%. With
so much buying power
at the hands of African
American consumers
throughout the country it
is exciting to think about
the positive steps schol-
ars -and advocates like
Velma LaPoint will
make in the right direc-
tion toward consumer
responsibility as well as
appropriate advertising
marketed towards the
educated black con-
sumer.

What That College Tour Guide Really Means


You've spent the past
three hours in a hot car
with your parents and teen
sibling just to arrive at a
potential college to be led
around by a student who
decided pointing at land-
marks would be a better
job than flipping burgers
for food services. To avoid
a word-for-word recitation
of the school's brochure,
take this list of decoded
tour guide lingo on your
campus visits.

Campus cafeteria -
Tour guide says: "We boast
over seven cafeterias cam-
puswide. Check out all the
really cool- fast-food ven-
dors we have in our student
union..."
Tour guide decoder:
Many schools require
freshmen to live on cam-
pus. Catch is, they also
normally require purchas-


So what help can you
expect from your company?
Support is often determined
by government guidelines.
According to IRS regula-
tions, employers can pro-
vide up to $5,250 to each
employee per year on a tax-
free basis. Any additional
employer tuition assistance
is taxed, so many employers
stay within the IRS limit.
To make the most of this
assistance, however, it's
important to know exactly
how your employer's pro-
gram works. Here are some
common elements of
employer tuition assistance


ing a food plan.
If that money
runs dry after a
senmester-worth
of late-night
study binges
-p __ and coffee
Breaks, those
expensive cam-
pus meals three
times a day
aren't going to look as
appealing as they do now.
You should ask: Are
there places to eat and gro-
cery stores within walking
distance from the campus?

Student center Tour
guide says: "There's so
much to do on this cam-
pus! With over 1,000 stu-
dent groups for you to join
and campus concerts
throughout the year, you'll
never be bored ..."
Tour guide decoder: To
cover up for a lackluster
surrounding town, the tour
guide may be more likely
to highlight how many
extracurricular activities
the school has to offer.
While student groups are a
great way to meet people, a
month of staying on cam-
pus could plague you with
cabin fever.


programs:
GPA requirements.
Most employers will require
you to maintain a certain
grade point average (GPA)
in order to benefit from the
tuition assistance program.
Keep this in mind when
considering how you will
organize your class sched-
ule. "Some employers will
even manage their tuition
reimbursements according
to the student's semester or
quarterly GPA," says Hilary
Ward Schnadt, associate
dean of University Center
of Lake County. "They may
pay 100 percent for an 'A'


You should ask: \Where
do students go if they \\ant
to take a break from the
un\ ersitr? \What kinds of
off-campus entertainment
can students find in the
area?

Residence hall Tour
guide says: "We have a
keycard security system
that is second to none.
Everyone must swipe his
or her card to get into each
floor of the dorms..."
Tour guide decoder:
You'll find that type of key-
card system at almost
every school you visit. The
trick is to find out who's
watching who gets let in
those doors by a person
with a "state of the art"
keycard.
You should ask: Are
there surveillance cameras
and fully staffed security
desks? How does the uni-
versity alert its students if
there is an emergency on
campus? Will I get in trou-
ble if I have a security
guard walk me home when
I'm too tipsy to stagger
home by myself?

Library Tour guide
says: "Our library has 5


and lower percentages for
lower grades."
Tuition payment /
reimbursement programs.
While some companies will
pay your tuition bill direct-
ly, others will ask you to
make the initial payment,
reimbursing you at the quar-
ter or the semester after
you have received your
grades.
This means that your
budget should be flexible
enough so that you can pay
that tuition money up front,
without missing it. "We usu-
ally recommend that stu-
dents in this situation save


million volumes and pam-
phlets in its collections and
the largest number of
books about moths in the
archives..."
Tour guide decoder:
The overwhelming number
of books is a stirring statis-
tic that is easy for tour
guides to throw at their
high school visitors. Most
universities participate in
an interloan library pro-
gram, so finding a book
you need even if it's not on
your campus shouldn't be
that hard. And, albeit
impressive, how often will
you really need to use the
school's narrowly defined
archives?
You should ask: Does
the library offer study
group programs and more
flexible hours during exam
weeks?

Classroom Tour
guide says: "The class-
rooms here incorporate up-
to-date design and technol-
ogy to augment the learn-
ing process..."
.Tour guide decoder:
This is a fine example of a
selling point that doesn't
really tell you anything.
PowerPoint presentations


enough so that they can pay
up to two semesters of
tuition," Schnadt says.
"That way they don't have
to interrupt their course-
work if their reimbursement
checks are delayed. Some
students even pay their
tuition via credit card, col-
lecting frequent flyer miles
and then paying off the bal-
ance "when they get reim-
bursed."
Major requirements. In
addition to requiring that
you maintain a certain GPA,
your employer may restrict
your choice of major to

classroom.
You should ask: Are
professors known to use
technology tools such as
podcast lectures or online
assignment posting
boards?

Health center Tour
guide says: "Our center
provides excellent checkup
and pharmacy services..."
Tour guide decoder:
While some schools have
hospitals located conve-
niently on campus, others'
health centers aren't
.equipped for a crisis or
late-night visit. Don't wait
until you can't peel your-
self from the bed and trash-

for emergencies.
You should ask: Where

Making Words The Stars Of The Show


(NAPSI)-Because
reading is such an impor-
tant skill, parents are
always looking for ways to
introduce their children to
the world of words.
Early intervention is
essential-at least 68 per-
cent of fourth graders read
below proficiency, accord-
ing to the latest National
Assessment of Educational
Progress.
Fortunately, a few tips
can help:
Establish a time
when you and your child
can snuggle and read
together. Let children
choose the books you read.
When you're reading
picture books to your
child, point out words and
sound them out. Trace the
letters with your fingers.
Listen attentively when
your child reads aloud.
Take your preschool-
er to the library to get a
library card so he or she
can explore the wide world
of words.
Talk to your pre-
schooler. Point out the


names of things your child
sees-in books and in the
real world-so your child
thinks about how words
sound and what they repre-
sent, .fostering a love of
language.
Select a "word of the
day" and make it a goal
with your preschooler to
use it at least three times
throughout the day.
Teach your child the
A-B-C song. Put magnetic
letters on your refrigerator
so your child can play with
letters and learn to spell
out words.
Read yourself.
Children emulate what
they see.
Give books as gifts.
Choose entertain-
ment that encourages a
love of reading. Movies
based on a favorite book or
TV show that feature let-
ters, words or books make
reading fun.
For example, a new
animated series, funded in
part by -the U.S.
Department of Education,
can help. The PBS KIDS


show "WordWorldTM"
playfully brings words to
life by embedding them in
the objects they represent
to help. 3- to 5-year-olds
make a connection
between a word and its
meaning. The show intro-
duces a world full of
words and funny charac-
ters known as
WordFriendsTM, making
getting ready to read con-
crete versus abstract-
friendly versus scary.
"WordWorld's" cur-
riculum is based on
research from the National
Reading Panel and draws
on skills critical to chil-
dren's emergent literacy
and social development-
making it a show that par-
ents can feel good about
their preschoolers watch-
ing.
Be an active partici-
pant when watching edu-
cational TV shows and
movies with your children.
Point out objects on the
screen, and see if they can
spell them for you. When a
word appears on the


screen, ask them to say
each letter out loud.
If you have a digital
video recorder (DVR),
pause the educational
show after a learning
moment to talk through the
lesson with your children
and encourage them to talk


about what they learned
after the show is finished.

AS uDeanna: is an aavice column Known jor Lus
fearless approach to reality-based subjects!

Dear Deanna!
I bought a car from a friend and it was a huge mistake. After I
got the car it broke down, started leaking oil and the transmis-
sion went bad. Because we're friends, I thought we could
work it out and I would get some of my money back. I
approached him about these issues and he told me it wasn't his
problem. I don't know what to do because a mechanic told me
he had the car fixed just enough to sell it. I feel betrayed and
want to know if I can sue him?
Melinda (Boston, MA)

Dear Melinda:
Your friend ripped you off by selling you a lemon and left you with a silly look on your face.
There's not much you can do unless you have documents, the terms of the sale and similar
paperwork you would normally receive from a dealership. Your car is on the road dead, your
friendship is ruined and your money is gone. Its worth going to small claims court because
he didn't think about you so you should handle your business and get ready to see the judge.


Dear Deanna!
My husband is very selfish and inconsiderate. We have a healthy relationship, our finances
are good and we are good parents to our children. The biggest issue in the relationship is the
fact he won't help with anything. I have to do all the shopping, cleaning, planning for activ-
ities and everything to run the household and our lives. If I don't do things he'll sit like a
lump on a log. If things don't get done, we argue. How can I get him to meet me in the mid-
dle?
Happy But Tired (Toledo, OH)

Dear Happy:
Your husband is a lost cause if you don't have him trained or house broken by now. You
should.look on the bright side and be glad he has a job, he's not abusive and he's involved
with the children instead of being on a milk carton like a dead beat dad. Take an analysis of
the pros and cons in your marriage and if the negatives are more than the positives seek
counseling, hang in there and do the best you can to motivate your husband and get him
moving.
******************

Dear Deanna!
I'm dating a woman who has children by another man. I knew this going into the relation-
ship and I know the problems that would eventually come. However, I didn't expect to
spend money on these kids and have them curse me out and disrespect me nor did I expect
my girlfriend to sleep with their father behind my back. The situation is worse now because
she's pregnant with my baby and I know I should leave this mess but I feel guilty. What do
I do?
Brian (Los Angeles, CA)

Dear Brian:
It would be a good idea if you decide not to be stuck on stupid. You need to get out of this
relationship because you're being used and disrespected. As for the pregnancy, you can ride
the wave until the baby gets here because you don't know if the baby is yours until you've
had a blood test. This clown show will only get worse as time goes on and you need to hold
onto your money and your mind, give them your rear end to kiss and keep it moving.

Gold Grills May Be the Fad of
Choice for Some Young
People, But Take Heed They
Can Kill
By: Tonyaa Weathersbee, BAW
(with permission)

Kevin Stokes had it halfway right.
When his 10-year-old stepson, Vincent


Holloman, made good grades and was elected president at his elementary school
in Pompano Beach, Fla., Stokes decided that a reward was in order.
That's when wisdom surrendered to stupidity.
According to the Miami Herald, Stokes spent $500 on gold grills that cov-
ered Vincent's lower front teeth. When a school guidance counselor asked the
child to take them out, and apparently didn't buy his explanation that they were
permanent, Vincent said she snatched them out.
As of last week, the counselor had been reassigned while her actions were

being investigated. School system
officials were grappling with
whether to ban the gold mouth-
pieces, which some children have
taken to sharing with each other, in
the dress code. And Stokes was
complaining about how Vincent's
gums had been damaged when the
woman snatched them dut, as they
had been cemented in by a dentist.
If the counselor indeed
snatched out Vincent's mouthpiece,
well, that wasn't wise. But her
judgment wasn't nearly as bad as
Stokes' judgment in buying a fifth-
grader gold grills in the first place.
That's because grills aren't just
some sort of fashion statement that
invokes the usual fear in straitlaced
folks who blame gangster rap for
all the ills of black youth.
Grills, you see, can kill.


the same way in which qualified vendors are paid to provide goods and services
to government entities, such as contractors who build schools and roads or an
office supplies store that wins a bid to sell office supplies to a government
agency.
In recent years, some have questioned the need to publish notices in local
newspapers, saying that the Internet has become so widely used that it repre-
sents a better way of informing the public. The Internet can play a role in a bet-
ter informed citizenry, but public notices buried in government Web sites cannot
replace the value delivered by newspapers. The permanence, stability and inde-
pendent verification offered by publication of.public notices in newspapers
ensure citizens have access to bonafide, trusted information about the business
of government.

'CLUB DRUGS' Gone Wild
Ester Da\ is
ReligionAndSpiriluality.com
A couple of girlfriends are in io\\n for a conenlion .
After dinner. you decide to hang out at that nel\\ club for a
nightcap. Just like \\e used to do. Girl. remembering bar-
hopping days. Or. sou are out of town at a convention. You
are restless and need to "wind down." The bell captain rec-
ommends a nightclub and hails a cab for you. Let's say, you are not especially look-
ing for anyone, anything ... just a good night out on the town, some jazz, a dab. of
country or down-home blues, and you will be safely back home by 2 a.m. Good, clean
fun.
Know, before you go, that the club scene has changed. There are a few new play-
ers at the clubs these days. Club drugs, or "date rape" drugs,' no longer have college
or teenagers associated with them. They have moved "uptown" to the Christian con-
ferences, corporate sales meetings, and baby-boomer playgrounds. They come to the
dinner parties, the open bar and the semi-formal annual awards programs. They crash
the country clubs, bingo and art galleries. These new players have nicknames. They
are called "liquid ecstasy," "Georgia Home Boy," "Special K," peddled by "Mr. Tall,
Tan & Terrific" and/or "Ms. 38-24-44." The well-dressed mistress or master blends in
and does some namedropping, quotes scripture, has the football scores and is familiar
with designer suits. The approach is innocent, classic and working. These street names
of drugs and their "business owners" can turn a pleasant night out into a nightmare,
regardless of who you are with, where you are or what time it is.
GHB is short for Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, MDMA (Ecstasy), Katamine (Special
K, Vitamin K), Rohynol (roofies), and Methamphetamine (Speed, Crank, Meth).
(Where do they get these names??) GHB is hard to detect. The taste is easily masked
by most drinks. Know for sure that the effects are magnified when mixed with alco-
hol or other drugs, prescribed or illegal. Like alcohol, GHB is a depressant. Even in
low doses, it reduces inhibitions and causes amnesia. GHB and a host of other drugs,
when slipped into an alcoholic drink, juice or soft drink makes the victim helpless
against sexual or other assault, i.e., blackmail, robbery or becoming a new "adult" star
(polite for pornography).
Back to the night out with the girls ... or the boys. You are asked to dance, and the
music is speaking to your groove. Oh, yea, he can dance. Can I buy you a drink? Sure.
And you move away from your safety net over to the lustrous, plush media room with
the conversational d6cor. A little talking won't hurt. And while a "stranger" goes to get
your drink, you continue to admire the view and relax. Wrong! Wrong!!
Health professionals attest to.the fact that if you go to the emergency room, doc-
tors have no idea what they are.dealing with, because there is no simple test for the
GHB families. So, to be safe, for openers never accept any drink from a stranger. The
rest is simple, old-fashioned common sense.
Discuss this article with a young person, a traveler, a socialite, and all trusting
optimists. It could save a life.

Five Questions and Answers about Public Notices -

Public notices published in newspapers provide citizens a Window into gov-
ernment. Most of the information for the following questions and answers comes
from the booklet "Public Notice: An American Tradition, An Examination of the
Role of Newspapers in Public Notice," published by the Public Notice Resource
Center and American Court & Commercial Newspapers.

1) What is a public notice?
A public notice is information informing citizens of government or govern-
ment-related activities that affect citizens' everyday lives.

2) Why do we need public notices?
An important premise found in both federal and local governments is that
information about government activities must be accessible in order for the elec-
torate to make well-informed decisions. Public notices in newspapers provide
this sort of accessibility to citizens who want to know more about government
activities.

3) What is the history of public notices?
The history of public notice begins long before the emergence of newspa-
pers. The concept has existed since early civilizations posted notices in public
squares. This crude method was eventually refined with the publication of the
first publication of the first English language newspaper in 1665 a court news-
paper called The Oxford Gazette.
In America, the Acts of the First Session of the First Congress in 1789
required that all bills, orders, resolutions and congressional votes be published
in at least three publicly available newspapers.
Upholding the public's right to know has been essential to our country's way
of life since day one. Our government governs with the consent of people, and
this consent must be informed.

4) What are some examples of a public notices?
There are many kinds of public notices. Publication of proposed budgets for
local governments, notices of local government hearings, bid notices, board and
agency meeting minutes and pre-election notices are just a few examples.

5) Are newspapers the most effective vehicle for public notices?
Public notices published in newspapers ensures readership by those most
likely to be interested in or affected by the notices. Plus, the notices arrive at
readers' homes or places of work in a newspaper filled with local news and infor-
mation that compels readership.
Newspapers are paid to publish public notices, which guarantees that valu-
able newspaper space will be devoted to notifying the public. The system works

AMERICAN ARTHRITIS SOCIETY

What Can You Do About Osteoarthritis?
Today, more than 10 million Americans suffer from osteoarthri-
tis of the knee, making it the most common form of arthritis in the
U.S. When the cushioning layers of cartilage within the joint are
worn down, the bones begin to rub against each other. This leads
to swelling and increased stiffness, and many daily activities
become painful and difficult. But what can you do to protect your
joints, reduce the symptoms, and support your doctor's treatment?
With assistance from some of the world's leading knee experts, the
American Arthritis Society has compiled some useful and practical
tips for self-care, and made them available on the Society's website.
Each tip is interesting and easy to follow. These and many more
suggestions regarding osteoarthritis can now be viewed online at:

told Reuters.
Meanwhile. track-and-field's governing body has expressed "disappointed" in
Jones' admitted use of performance-enhancing drugs.

hard work I sincerely believe that she could have been an honest champion at the
Sydney Games." said Lamine Diack. president of the International Association of
Athletics Federations (IAAF), in a statement. "Now, instead. Marion Jones will be
remembered as one of the biggest frauds in sporting history."
In addition to her
Olympic medals, Jones

\- -I


.i ARIES
SMarch 21st thru April 19th
You're ready to take action and say what's on
your mind (or in your heart) on Monday and
Tuesday, but someone else involved may need
time, explanations or miscellaneous patience.
A solo endeavor's a fine idea now. You're even
more goal-oriented from Wednesday until
sometime Friday. But do your current ambi-
tions line up with your values? And are you
being attentive to your karma along the way?
When the weekend comes, you might just find
a beautiful new balance. Somebody else has an
amazing perspective to share that'll inform
your own.

TAURUS
April 20th thru May 20th
The minute you make a bold statement or big
move on Monday or Tuesday, you might have
second thoughts. Consider -- and reconsider --
.your alternatives now, and you might even
come up with something different and better.
Taking actioA's much more favored from
Wednesday until sometime Friday, and your
ideals co e into play, too. With your heart
firmly in right place, there's little you can't
do. This weekend, something or someone
unusual is. on the scene. How will you react?
It's not a black-and-white type of thing. Give it
time to evolve -- this could get interesting.


GEMINI
.... ... ~~ay 21st thru June 21st
The ins and,olts of a relationship (at work?
family? a romantic liaison?) are fascinating as
the week gets going. Want to make it more
functional? Lool? from their angle, and resist
issuing instructions. From Wednesday until
sometime Friday,-though, more practical mat-
ters demand attention. Develop a better under-
standing and make a solid plan. Your energy's
dynamic this weekend, and the possibilities for
change are endleds -- and electric. Changing
your mind can be the smartest thing you can
do (and luckily you're good at it!).



CANCER
June 22nd thru July 22nd
Your challenge this week: Getting the good
stuff going and keeping the energy flowing.-
Your ural instinct to be all-attentive to oth-
ers an give until it hurts needs conscious bal-
ancing early in the week. Make it a one-for-
them, one-for-you kind of proposition. Around
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, postponing
something isn't the best idea. Just do it! And
when the weekend comes, do something to
bust out of a rut -- preferably something that
engages both your romantic heart and your
amazing intellect. Hint: This may be spur-of-
the-moment thing.


: LEO
j July 23rd thru Aug 22nd
Are you ready for something or someone total-
ly different? The same old stuff goes out the
window early in the week, probably with you
giving it a shove. Your energy's dynamic and
change i in the air, especially in romance.
Then, from Wednesday until sometime Friday,
a slow and steady approach is in order, with
self-awareness coupled with extra sensitivity
to those arouhld you. You can accomplish a ton
now. Interpersonal.. stuff can blossom this
weekend if you can put your pride aside. Be
humble, be frank and move forward on your
life and love path.

SVIRGO
i e lo' Aug 23rd thru Sept 22nd

Life looks full of obligations of various sorts
early in the week, but you can minimize ten-
sion and maximize satisfaction as you get
things done. Be proactive about destressing
and keeping a humane schedule. Both work
and romantic matters are favored from
Wednesday through Friday, and the way to
make the most progress is to have fun with it
all. What you create now can be beautiful
indeed. Your perfectionist streak is a mile wide
this weekend, but don't be too harsh, whether


on yourself or someone else. Practice is impor-
tant for the old learning curve.


U'.


LIBRA
Sept 23rd thru Oct 22nd


Making progress with ongoing stuff-- person-
al, work or other -- is a snap early in the week.
Use your spare time to explore more abstract
ideas and bigger visions for the future. Around
Wednesday or Thursday, though, you might
find yourself stuck on something or someone
from the past. Take off any rose-colored glass-
es, or find a way to process and let go of dark-
er feelings. When the weekend comes, you'll
want to be ready to receive the gifts that the
present brings. Feel your interconnection with
others and the world. It's a beautiful thing!


SCORPIO
Oct 23rd thru Nov 21st

The key this week: Pace yourself! Early on,
around Monday and Tuesday, you might be
plunging ahead when you should be testing the
waters instead. Hint: If something (or some-
one) seems incredibly great, check out the
credibility. Your timing and your instincts are
right on from Wednesday through most of
Friday, so much so that there's little you can't
accomplish. Your people skills are great now,
too -- use them. This weekend, don't get stuck.
An idea can always use a little evolution; a
plan can always use a little change. Stay in
gear rather than spinning your wheels.


SAGITTARIUS
I Nov 22nd thru Dec 21st
At work or play, your performance is much
admired as the week gets under way. And for
good reason: Your self-confidence makes
whatever you do a success, or at least a suc-
cessful experiment. Around Wednesday or
Thursday, you might be fixated on a thing
rather than the people or ideas around you. It's
odd. Why are you so captivated; (if not
obsessed)? Figure it out, because When the
weekend comes, you'll want to be wide open
to the whole spectrum of life around you.
Excellent energy's all yours now. Use it or lose
it!

S/ CAPRICORN
j Dec 22nd thru Jan 19th

If possibilities seem to be diminishing early in the
week, use that trademark persistence of yours.
Try taking a longer-term view, rather than letting
whatever's going on right now get under your
skin. And if there's something you really want to
achieve, just wait until Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. Work recognition, romantic results and
serious progress on a project can all be yours.
This weekend, you might see big potential, but if
it's an unproven scheme, be leery. Risks aren't
favored now. Go for what (or who) seems most
stable and worthy of your trust.



.r7 AQUARIUS
-. Jan 20th thru Feb 18th

You're always amazing on your own, but
you're especially excellent in a pair or as part
of a group as the week gets going. Friends,
coworkers or a partner of some kind have
ways to help you both focus and expand on
your ideas. Around Wednesday and Thursday,
however, your world might feel like it's con-
tracting. You don't like limits like this, but
pushing them now isn't the best plan. Lay low,
and expect the energy to change for the better
sometime Friday, with 'change' being the oper-
ative word. All kinds of new possibilities await
this weekend.


PISCES
Feb 19th thru March 20th
Work or a certain relationship might be a pain
early this week, but complaining won't get you
far. Bring a new idea or a proposed change of
plan to the table, and make it a positive one.
Around Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, you
might just get hooked up with help from some
unexpected places. Everything's interconnect-
ed, and your awareness of this means you'll
see what others are missing. This weekend, the
world of' dreams is close by. Enjoy it and the
creativity it brings, but don't lose track of real-
ity, or even your keys!


SrFrom Actual Police Reports
s ssSHH!
sH Did You Hear About?...






"F'YOU, I'M NOT GOINGANYWHERE An offi-
cer was dispatched to the Municipal Stadium during a
football game. Upon his arrival he met with the victim
and witness #1 who stated that they made contact with the
suspect and attempted to escort him out of the stadium.
The suspect began to resist them. Both the victim and wit- y.
ness were clearly identifiable as security personnel when
they approached the suspect. When the suspect was asked
to leave, the suspect stated, "f_ck you, I'm not going any-
where." At this time witness 2 and witness 3 attempted to
assist the victim and witness 1. When witness 1 told one
of the other security officers to get the police, the suspect
then began to resist even more. At this time the victim fell
to the ground and struck his head on the ground while try-
ing to restrain the suspect. The suspect was eventually
handcuffed by officers and he was arrested. Post Miranda the suspect stated he did not know
what occurred. I detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, slurred speech,
and bloodshot watery eyes. The officer was advised by JFRD personnel that the victim's injuries
were possibly life threatening and he was being transported to Shands Hospital by Rescue Unit
#1. JSO Police Recruits advised that they responded to assist the CSC Security officers when
they saw them struggling with the suspect. Upon their arrival, they told the suspect repeatedly
to stop resisting and place his hands behind his back. The suspect refused to comply. The sus-
pect was eventually handcuffed. Neither police recruit saw the victim getting injured during the
altercation with the suspect. One of the officers gave the victim a state attorney's card and
advised him to meet with a state attomey if he wanted to press any charges against the suspect.

AGGRAVATED ASSUALT AND BATTERY A Jacksonville police officer was
dispatched to the 4300 block of Sunbeam Rd., where 59 year old PRB says he was
shot by RLO, a stranger wearing an FSU shirt
and denim shorts. A 9mm semi-automatic
",. firearm was seized, along with 9mm bullets
and a canvass concealment holster. The gun
'. was not reported stolen. PRB was shot just
above his right buttock and the bullet appar-
ently lodged in his lower abdomen, just below
.. j- n i his waistline. He told Ofc. A.E.P. that as he
Drove into the apartment complex, a group of
kids were blocking his way. He advised that
:- '--' he had to stop his car while they slowly got
out of his way. As he passed, he told the kids
S' 'I to stay out of the road. He then drove to his
apartment, parked his car and walked with his
walking stick back to the office to make a
complaint. Once there he was describing, what
happened to witness #1, CN. At that point,
witness #2, A.L., the suspect's girlfriend, walked in and confronted PRB. She
accused PRB of calling them the "N" word. An argument ensued and witness #2,
A.L. entered the office with a baseball bat. She heard what was being said and inter-
rupted the victim and accused him of calling all of them the "N" word. At that point,
the suspect then approached the front door to the office and demanded he get out of
his girlfriend's face. After a brief verbal altercation with the suspect, the victim
turned his attention back to witness #2, who continued yelling at him. Sometime
during the argument, the suspect shot the victim. At that time, witness #2 told the
suspect to get the gun and "get out of
there." It was later learned that the
victim, who was transported to the
hospital had no life threatening
injuries. RLO was advised of his .
rights and he agreed to talk to the
officer and maintained that he
thought the victim was going to hit
his girfrilnd with his walking stick.
He said he was aiming the gun at the
victim's feet, but when he fired it
struck him in his right buttock. .

GRAND THEFT AND AGGRA- ,. .
VATED ASSAULT WITH DEAD-'
LY WEAPON On Saturday, Officer JR said he came in contact with victim TN
while he was working off duty at the hospital. The victim informed him that he was
in the parking lot of PPH Food Mart and was hanging outside of his car. He stated
that the suspect's girlfield was talking with one of the girls that was inside of the car
when the suspect reached inside and took the listed item. The victim saw this and
confronted the suspect about the jacket. The victim stated that he did not know that
the suspect had a knife and the next thing he knew he was being stabbed. The sus-
pect then fled the scene in an unknown direction in the listed car. Officer JR saw
where the victim,TN, had three stab wounds on his left shoulder.Witnesses informed
Officer JR that they saw the
victim approach the suspect
and saw the suspect pull a knife
and started stabbing the victim.
They saw the suspect get into
the car and flee in an unknown


direction. The officer went to
the food mart to see if he could
( gather more information, but
f was unable to. Officer JR
spoke with Emergency Room
doctor DC and he stated that
the victim is stable and his
:. injuries were not life threaten-

After thorough training
and several more plays at the
ABC LATC, Brown struck out into
the professional arena as a
had child actress. It didn't take
her long for this bubbly cutie pie
w of to start booking TV commer-
ince cials and in the process
king become the face of brands
hyon such as Disney and The Gap
cele- while appearing in print ads
for them and others. Brown's
Stand out talent has allowed
n) on
) on her to secure recurring roles
in be
Lne in "Judging Amy," "Boston
ABC Public," "That's So Raven,"
how "Hidden Hills," and "The
as

iddle
also guest starred in "ER,"

tca "Everybody Loves

en by film appearances include 50
knew Cent's Get Rich or Die Trying
the and other films including
rsue. made for TV Films. At her
as in
s in age, Brown has a pretty
Wiz, extensive' resume and track
geles record. And speaking of track,
:r the Brown is also a stand out ath-
tress lete at her school in four
aquel events i.e., the 100 meters,
gazing 200 meters, the 4 x 100m and
Ltory. the 4x400m. When asked
:e her about it she proudly beams, "I
lines actually placed second in
the City. It was my first year run-
ng to ning so that was pretty good."
or to Does she have her eye on the
e a Olympics? She laughs, "Yeah,
n I'm trying to decide on what I
was want to do although acting is
cipate my first love but I guess yeah,
1 her you can say that."
:e the When asked about her role
rvato- on the show and the experi-
age ence, Brown perks up again,
llow- "I've been on the show since
ler to the pilot. We're on ABC
but in Family, Tuesday nights at 8.
Life, The set is a great environ-
azing ment. The cast meshes togeth-


Rhyon Brown
er really well. It's one of the only Black
shows on the air right now and it's doing
really well. I think that is something
people need to be exposed to because
we're out there and we can play these
serious roles. This is not the typical
show you find out there. I think that we
are definitely original and the fact that
we are mixing cop and family. So I think
that the Sutton family is almost like a
role model family for people out there."
In further describing herself, Brown
ads, "I'm in the 10th grade and I go to
public school which I'm happy about.
I'm not really a big fan of the home
school you know. I consider myself pret-
ty ordinary. I like hanging out with my
friends and stuff. I, also find the. mix
between doing the acting thing and I
have regular friends and I try to stay in
regular school because there is nothing
like the high school experience. My par-
ents have definitely kept me grounded.
What are her favorite subjects? She
responds, "I'm a big history fan." She
also plans to go to college. If Brown
were an animal which one would she be?
That eye twinkle lights up again and she
answers, a panther. They're fast, sleek
and smooth.
