Tyler Perry

Why Did I Get Married?

Tyler Perry's movie,
'Why Did I Get
Married?' is still in the
number one spot at the
box office, earning more
.than $20 million dollars
during the opening week-
end and believe it or not,
Tyler Perry is now a
household name, but not
really. The press is trying
to figure out how he does
it since he started as an actor and playwright ond even his
TV show 'House of Payne' is a hit on cable.
Perry now has a broader audience with and with-
out Madea.

usually for teens and

FCC Must Address Minority Ownership Before
Changing Rules

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Kevin J. Martin has been
asked to launch an independent review panel to develop proposals to further promote media
ownership diversity, following an insufficient 30-day review of the FCC's intent to modify
existing ownership rules by allowing greater media market consolidation. Such a move
would be extremely harmful to this country because it would potentially cut out small busi-
ness, women and minority-owned broadcast properties which is already very low.
Senator Obama has asked the FCC to reconsider the Chairman's proposed consolidation
timeline and for him to start a.public review of any specific proposed rule modifications.
He has also asked Martin to complete a study of the responsibilities that broadcasters have
to the communities in which they operate.
Clara McLaughlin was the first black female in this country to own a network affiliat-
ed television station and said this consolidation proposal is frightening.

It is almost a daily occurrence. Last week, Brunswick said they will fight to keep
down murders yet, Wednesday night 19-year-old Terrence Felder was killed at the
end of Cochran Avenue in Arco. In Jacksonville, some of the murders are being
solved with the help of the community, but not enough. To cut back on crime, those
committing the acts must have fear, they must also have dreams beyond the moment.
Philadelphia has had so many murders, someone nicknamed the city, Killadelphia
and the city. leaders said, that is enough. Last week, thousand of Black men in
Philadelphia got together with the police, the mayor and leaders where they pledged
to join them to stop the violence and the murders. The men agreed to join street
patrols as part of the "Call to Action: 10,000 Men, It's a New Day" campaign. They
will not carry weapons but will be trained in conflict resolution. "We are taking our

Boot Camp Crew Acquitted,


Federal Investigation Sought
Three Florida congressional representatives, U. S. Reps
Alcee Hastings, Kendrick Meek and Corraine Brown has
asked Attorney General Peter Keiser to review the treat-
ment of children in juvenile boot camps in other states,
even though Florida ended its juvenile camp system after
Martin Lee Anderson, 14, died. A video showed his
encounter with seven guards and a boot camp nurse. All
were acquitted at their trial.
Approximately 700 protesters rallied for a federal
investigation after the defense attorneys argued that
Anderson died of a normally benign blood disorder.
Prosecutors argued the guards suffocated Anderson
and the nurse did not to help.
The Florida group are working with the House Martin Anderson
Judiciary Committee to convene a hearing to investi-
gate the management of juvenile justice boot camps in Florida and the rest of the
country.
An all-white jury acquitted the seven guards and the nurse.

Oratory and Baseball Are Strong Diversions
From the Prison Pipeline
Child Watch Column
By Marian Wright Edelma, President of the Children's Defense Fund


This is one of a series of
Child Watch Columns on
dismantling America's Cradle
to Prison Pipeline.
Young people get on the
prison track for a variety of
reasons-they fall in with the
wrong crowd, they have few
positive adult influences in
their lives, they are not
engaged in positive activities.
Among the approaches that
can be applied to divert chil-
dren and teens from the
Prison Pipeline, there are two
activities I'd like to draw
your attention to. My sugges-
tions today are "old-school"
because what I have in mind
is for us to re-create some of
the activities that children
have benefited from in past
generations.
When I was young, we
had oratorical contests in
school where you learned
how to speak with clear enun-
ciation and good diction. The
focus was not just on elocu-
tion. We also learned a lot
about our history, literature
and heritage. We recited the
speeches of Frederick
Douglass and Harriet
Tubman and poems by
Langston Hughes and Phyllis
Wheatley. I chose a speech
Ralph Bunche gave at Fisk
University in 1949: "The
Barriers of Race Can Be
Surmounted."
A present-day model is


New Jersey Orators, which
seeks to improve public
speaking skills among chil-
dren between the ages of
seven and 18 and increase
self-confidence, academic
excellence and leadership
skills. Young orators are
exposed to plays, lectures
and speeches of some of our
great leaders and thinkers.
Students participate in one-
hour after-school meetings in
a training program spanning
40 weeks coinciding with the
school year. They strive for
language mastery in several
categories of public speak-
ing-poetry, prose, original
speeches and extemporane-
ous oratory.
New Jersey Orators has
an annual membership of
about 500 students who pur-
sue excellence through
speech competitions and a
desire to learn more about
authors, speakers and their
places in history. Training
sessions are led by volunteer
coaches, most of whom have
formal training or experience
in public speaking, acting or
other oratory arts. This is a
team effort involving the stu-
dents, coaches and parents.
It's a community effort as
well. Judges and timekeepers
volunteer, and librarians help
the students identify and
select appropriate authors
and writings. In addition to


language mastery, me stu-
dents' overall academic per-
formance improves. New
Jersey Orators has grown to
15 chapters that meet in
schools and churches
throughout the state. That
students stay with the pro-
gram for five to eight years
and coaches for up to 15
years speaks to its success.
If managed well, organ-
ized athletics too can be an
excellent medium for charac-
ter education and combating
obesity. Almost any sport can
be useful in developing
young people. Most provide
opportunities to enhance
body movement, physical
skills, coordination, grace
and agility.
One of the sports that
communities might consider
is baseball, which, for a vari-
ety of reasons, has waned in
Black communities. My
three sons were baseball
players and are now fans.
My youngest son, who works
for HBO Real Sports, com-
pleted this year a wonderful
documentary" about Jackie
Robinson and the Brooklyn
Dodgers, "The Ghosts of
Flatbush." That team unified
Black Americans and struck
a defining blow against
American racial apartheid.
Baseball can offer useful les-
sons that a young person will
carry throughout a lifetime.
First, baseball is hard. For all
of his success, Hank Aaron
had far more strikeouts than
home runs. So in addition to
teamwork and cooperation,
baseball teaches young peo-


ple how to have patience and
persistence until they suc-
ceed.
Baseball is a highly
coached sport. Along with
learning throwing, catching
and batting skills, a player
also must watch for a coach's
signals to know when to bunt
or steal a base. Being able to
follow instructions is an
important discipline of the
game, something every child
would do well to learn. Youth
baseball also requires a great
deal of adult and parental
involvement as coaches,
umpires, scorekeepers, com-
missioners and even
groundskeepers. And in
Washington, D.C., it was the
one integrated experience
many children had. My hus-
band and I spent many week-
ends cheering for our boys'
teams all over the city in the
Police Athletic League.
Each of these old-school
approaches offers ways to
develop confident children
with skills they will need to
become successful adults.
Baseball and oratory clubs
provide excellent alternatives
to what too many children are
learning in the streets and can
be adopted by virtually any
community. What's required
are committed parents, edu-
cators, faith leaders, and
other caring adults to make
an extra effort to step up to
the plate and organize these
activities. Doing so can be
fun and rewarding and con-
veys to our children a mes-
sage that they are important.

"To every-
thing there
is a season
aand a time
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',er cards. thank-\ou notes.
and guest regi'iers-Lhe\ add up
qickl\. lan:, opt for the fwuer-
al home in their neighborhood
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.

JACKSONVILLE URBAN LEAGUE
60TH ANNIVERSARY &
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AWARDS GALA
*A
What an 'out of the box' event! This was a most unique cel-
ebration! Certainly not your usual sit down all evening affair.
From the music of the PM Experience, the red carpet walk of
the honorees, Warner Singleton & The Urban All Stars, the
Randall Heywood Jazz Ensemble, the presentation from the
National Urban League by Donald Bowman.to the presentation
from the anniversary co-chairs Dr. Barbara Darby and Mrs.
Madeline Scales-Taylor, it was a grand evening!!
And then the music spanning the six decades of the
Jacksonville Urban League's presence on the First Coast began.
With performers walking and performing among the Gala guests
we heard music from the 40's and 50's that brought Jazz and
Charlie Parker's Everything happens To Me and our own
Charlie 'Hoss' Singleton's Strangers In The Night, All
Shook Up depicting the 1960's Civil Rights Era; How
High the Moon for Apollo 11, Sputnik and three landing
on the moon; Send For Me for the 1970's, a period of
war and the flower child, peace, and love my man era.
And then JUL folk joined the performing for the
1980's: There was 'Michael Jackson's' Cameo appear-
ance as the Thriller tune was being played; 'Gladys
Knight' with her 'Pips' singing Midnight Train; the
1990's love and dancing to I'llAlways Love You; and the
2000's Electric Slide Dance.
As the guests entered the ballroom each table was The
adorned with a Diamond Ice Sculpture with the numer- Sr.
als 60 in the center of the sculpture and lovely gift bags
that included a CD of the evenings music. Wow!
The dinner portion of the gala was filled with entertainment
that included more of the fantastic big band music, dance per-
formances from Ms. Keezia Rolle's Dance Troup, the
Jacksonville Urban League's 60 Year Video Presentation and the
60th Anniversary Toast led by Mr. Richard Danford, Sr.
And then there was dancing, dancing, and more dancing the
night away! What a wonderful way to celebrate. Kudos to the
planners and the hard work
of everyone who made this
such a fantastically suc-
cessful event. Will there be
more next year?

* Barack Obama on Bush's FEC Nominee


Bush's FEC Nominee Undermined Voting Rights

by U. S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-1ll.)
NNPA Special Commentary


More than 40 years ago,
John Lewis and Hosea
Williams, along with hun-
dreds of everyday Americans,
left their homes and churches
to brave the .blows of Billy
clubs and join a march for
freedom across the Edmund
Pettus Bridge;
Thousands of anonymous
foot soldiers Blacks and
Whites, the young and the
elderly summoned the
courage to march for justice
and demand freedom. A few
months later, the Voting
Rights Act was signed into
law.
It's because of the sacri-
fice of these American heroes
that we've come so far today.
But there's more work to be
done. Recent elections have
shown unprecedented intimi-
dation of African-American,
Native American, low income
and elderly voters at the polls.
We've seen political oper-
atives purge voters from reg-
istration rolls for no legiti-
mate reason, distribute
polling equipment unevenly,
and deceive, voters about the
time, location and rules of
elections.
So today, more than ever,
we need to have confidence
that those in government
responsible for overseeing
our voting system will uphold
the right to vote for every sin-
gle American.
This is what's at stake in
the United States Senate
today. President Bush has
recently nominated Hans von
Spakovsky to serve on the
Federal Election Commission
(FEC).
It's the job of the FEC to


regulate elections and dis-
close campaign finance con-
tributions. So it goes without
saying that the FEC needs
strong, impartial leadership
that will promote integrity in
our election system.
Hans von Spakovsky is
not the right person for this
job, and I strongly oppose his
nomination. From 2001 to
2005, von Spakovsky served
as an official at the Justice
Department's Civil Rights
Division where he amassed a
record of undermining voting
rights, creating restrictions
that would make it harder for
poor and minority communi-
ties to vote, and putting parti-
san politics above upholding
our civil rights.
Take what happened in
Georgia. In 2005, Georgia
was trying to require photo
identification to be presented
by all. voters. Even though
Georgia's voter ID law was
being reviewed by von
Spakovsky's office at the DOJ
for violating the Voting
Rights Act, he anonymously
published an article support-
ing the restriction, arguing it
did not affect minority voters
disproportionately.
Von Spakovsky undoubt-
edly drove the DOJs decision
to approve the law a law
later overturned by a federal
judge.
In 2000, while sitting on
the Fulton County
Registration Board in
Georgia, von Spakovsky
endorsed the idea of"purging"
election rolls of felons and
joined a Republican group
called the "Voting Integrity
Project." This group helped


remove voters from election
rolls in Florida denying
countless legitimate
Democratic voters in Florida
their right to vote.
This year, a group that
worked with von Spakovsky
at the Justice Department
wrote a letter to the Senate
Rules Committee expressing
their concern about his nomi-
nation.
In it they called him the
"point person for undermin-
ing the Civil Rights Division's
mandate to protect voting
rights." History proves them
right. In 2003, von
Spakovsky overruled the
career professionals on his
staff and upheld Tom DeLay's
2003 Texas redistricting plan
- a plan the U.S. Supreme
court determined violated the
rights of Latino voters.
Hans von Spakovsky's
record speaks for itself. He
should not serve on the panel
responsible for protecting the
integrity of federal elections.
The United States Senate
must stand firm in our com-
mitment to fighting the disen-
franchisement of minority
voters and reject this nomi-
nee.
And we should go further.
We need to undo the work of
the partisan operatives, like
von Spakovsky and protect
our citizens from deception
and voter intimidation. I have
introduced a bill that would
prohibit and criminalize prac-
tices that seek to intimidate or
mislead voters to keep them
away from the polls on
Election Day. This bill also
requires the Attorney General
to take corrective action by
providing the public with
accurate information about
the time and place of elec-
tions and the rules of voter
eligibility.
We must ensure that all
eligible voters can vote and
that their votes will be count-
ed. Our brave civil rights
leaders gave too much for
partisan nominees to chip
away at this right.

Female Continued from A-1
husband for a crime he did not commit. Her 7-year-old
grand daughter was with her at the time. She was not
allowed to comfort the child as they made her sit for
more than three hours, refusing to allow her to cover
her breast as more than 20 male officers walked back
and forth. Most of that time, she had to stand.
The second situation is a young school principal who
was stopped in error. She had her two young children
with her, sitting on the back seat as they made her lie
on her stomach, not considering her very pregnant
belly and the possible harm to her unborn child. The
tape disclosed that once they realized they had made
an error, they discussed how they could 'cover it up.'
The third situation was a female that had been asked
to leave because the bartender felt she had had enough.
When the officers arrived and after she was hand-
cuffed, the video showed the officer using a stun gun
on her.
October is Domestic Abuse month but as you can see
abuse is beyond the home. To date, none of these
women have been compensated for the pain and men-
tal abuse they and the children suffered.

Violence Continued from A-1
own streets back and training our own boys to be men."
Philadelphia has almost 1.5 million residents, 44 per-
cent of which are black, with more than 320 homicides
this year.
Taking back the streets, mentoring young boys, train-
ing the youth, male and female is not a city thing, its a
village thing said a Jacksonville resident and we must
establish a national move to take care of our village.

Here are just a couple of
the many healthcare
careers that require a bach-

munity dietitian who
works in a public health
clinic, home-health agency
or health. maintenance
organization teaching peo-
ple good nutritional prac-
tices to prevent disease and
promote good health.
The median annual
salary for dietitians was
just more than $38,000 in
2000, according to the US
Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS), and employment of
dietitians is expected to
grow about as fast as aver-


age for all occupations
between now and 2010.
Look for degree pro-
grams in dietetics, foods
and nutrition, food-service
systems managementor a
related area.
Physician Assistant

healthcare services.

pret diagnostic tests, and
prescribe medications.
They can also treat minor
injuries.
The median annual
salary for PAs was almost
$62,000 in 2000, according
to the BLS. Perhaps even
more appealing, the
employment of PAs is.
expected to grow "much
faster than the average for
all occupations" through
2010. Why? The health

and PAs are needed in both

accredited programs across
the US.

Decorating Your House Can Be A Treat No Trick!


HALLOWEEN continued from front page
(NAPSI)-Scary witches. Spooky
jack-o-lanterns. And lots of tricks and
treats. It's no wonder Halloween has
become a favorite holiday for kids of all
ages.
This fall, millions of Americans will
get into the Halloween spirit by decorat-
ing their homes for the season. Why not
join in the fun? All you need is some
paint and a little imagination. Here are
some ideas from the decorating experts at
Rust-Oleum:
Welcome trick-or-treaters. Create
an inviting path to your front door with
pumpkins from your local farm or super-
market. Line your steps with fresh mums
in inexpensive ceramic planters spray
painted with Painters Touch Real
Orange or Gloss Black. Add a scarecrow,
corn stalks and a couple of bales of hay
and the neighborhood ghosts and goblins
will flock to your door.
Invite the neighbors. Create an
autumn tablescape by painting inexpen-
sive candlesticks with American
Accents Canyon Black spray paint. Add
the enchanting warm look of rich aged
copper to papier-mach6 pumpkins with
American Accents Antique Copper
Transformation Kit. Or, paint miniature
pumpkins with American Accents


Metallic Copper spray
paint for quick and
easy elegance.
Purchase colorful
autumn leaves from
your local crafts store,
scatter the leaves and
pumpkins on the table
in a random pattern
and bring out the
mulled cider and
donuts for a festive
Halloween treat.
Create a haunt-
ed house look.
Customize your entry-
way with items painted
with Rust-Oleum
Glow in the Dark
Paint. Add splashes of
glow in the dark color
to decorative accents
such as wooden candy
bowls, witches, bats and other Halloween
decorations for a spooky effect that is
sure to put everyone in the Halloween
spirit.
Save the memories. Paint a simple
wooden picture frame with American
Accents Mango spray paint. Draw black
cats or spiders webs with American
Accents Decorative Paint Pen in Gloss


Black. Fill the frame with a picture of
your little ghost or goblin for Halloween
memories that will last for years to come.

POINTERS FOR PARENTS

Tips On Helping Kids Walk Safely On Halloween


.-4




(NAPSI)-Many par-
ents find Halloween
almost as frightening as
theirchildren do-but not
because of the ghosts
and gobblins. Experts
say the holiday is one of
the most dangerous
times of the year for
children to walk because
they will be out trick-or-
S treating in the dark when
it is harder for drivers to
see them.
That's why it .can be
a particularly good time
for parents to remind
kids of the rules for nav-


igating streets and side-
walks.
Cross streets safe-
ly. Cross at the corner.
Try to make eye contact
with drivers before
crossing in front of
them. Don't assume that
because you can see the
driver, the driver can see
you.
Look left, right
and left again when
crossing and keep look-
ing as you cross. Walk,
don't run, across the
street.
Walk on sidewalks


or paths. If there are no
sidewalks, walk facing
traffic as far to the left as
possible. Children
should walk on direct
routes with the fewest
street crossings.
Children under
age 10 should not be
out walking alone with-
out adult supervision.
Children under age 12
should not be out walk-
ing alone at night. If kids
are mature enough to be
out without supervision,
they should stick to a
predetermined .route


with good light.
Be a safe pedestri-
an around cars. Watch
for cars that are turning
or backing up. Never
dart out.into the street or
cross in between parked
cars. Also, it's important
to remember that the
excitement of the holi-
day can be distracting to
both drivers and chil-
dren.
"Parents have many
concerns on Hallow\een
and we need to remem-
ber that kids must be
reminded about safety
while walking before
they head out," says Dr.
Martin Eichelberger, co-
founder and chairman of
Safe Kids Worldwide.
Eichelberger and the
child pedestrian safety
experts at Safe Kids
offer these tips to keep
kids safe:
Decorate cos-
tumes and bags.
Decorate with reflective
tape or stickers and, if
possible, choose light
colors.


Choose face paint
and makeup. Choose
w whenever possible
instead of masks. Which
can obstruct a child's
vision.
Have kids carry
glow sticks or flash-
lights. Carr in order to
see better as well as be
seen by drivers.
Parents also need to
keep in mind that there
are other potential haz-
ards for children on that
night. For instance, kids
should be reminded to
only eat treats in origi-
nal, unopened wrappers --
and to throw away candy
if the wrapper is faded,
torn or if the candy is
unwrapped.
Safe Kids-
Worldwide and program
sponsor FedEx created
the Safe Kids Walk This
Way program to help
prevent pedestrian-relat-
ed injury to children. For
more information, visit
www. usa.safekids. org/wtw.


(NAPSI)-Every Halloween, ghosts, goblins, witches and
warlocks fly around our neighborhoods. But before you send
your little tricksters out for some Halloween fun, it may be a
good idea to review some simple Halloween etiquette.
For instance, etiquette expert Peggy Post says to
remember that ghoulish makeup and face paint are accept-
able but to keep it age appropriate. Bustiers, heavy political-
ly comical outfits and references to "The Rocky Horror
Picture Show" are not considered kid-friendly.
Consider these additional helpful trick-or-treating eti-
quette tips from Post, author of Emily Post's "Etiquette" and
etiquette expert for 1-800-flowers.com:

* Remind your little goblin not to be greedy-one piece of
candy from each house is the general rule. Also, saying


"thank you" is a must.
* If your neighborhood isn't so kid-friendly, head to one that
is. But don't drop your kids off in an unknown neighborhood.
Even if you think it's safe, you should at least know a mem-
ber of the neighborhood.

* If you have really young ones, try trick-or-treating earlier,
around 4:00 or 4:30 p.m. Your kids will be less exhausted
and less likely to run-into the really scary costumes and
tricks of older kids.

* If a friend is taking your kids out and you're worried about
how much she'll let them indulge in their candy bags, it's OK
to talk to her about it. First, thank her for taking the kids, then
ask her simply to keep an eye on how much they devour.

Scare Awav Poisons This Halloween


Ghosts, ghouls and
things that go bump in
the night are all a part of
Halloween fun. But the
- fun can quickly turn
scary as poisoning
threats arise during this


time. Experts at the
Florida/USVI Poison
Information Center -.
Jacksonville (FPIC-
JAX) advise parents to
use extra caution and to
keep safety in mind


with their trick-or-
treaters.
"Every trick-or-
treater may be at risk for
dangers that this holiday
pandemonium may
bring," explains Dr. Jay
Schauben, director if
FPICJAX. "According
to the National Safety
Council, the biggest
safety concern is the
risk of injury. This con-
cern coupled with using
toxic paints and materi-
als as part of a costume
and eating treats that
may have been mali-
ciously contaminated
can be alleviated by fol-
lowing a few simple
safety tips."
The National
Confectioners
Association
Works closely
with law
enforcement
officers
nationwide
d u r i n g
Halloween and
concurs with
these recom-
mendations.
Following
are some tips
offered by


FPICJAX to help ensure
a safe Halloween for
everyone:
Parents should
inspect all treats their
children bring home
before any are con-
sumed and especially
check treats for punc-
ture holes. Children
should only be allowed
to eat homemade treats
from someone you
know and trust.
If you child has a
food allergy, pay special
attention to food labels.
Throw away all
unwrapped candy,
candy with wrappers
that are faded, have
holes, tears or signs of
re-wrapping.
Feed children
before they go out or
bring along your own
candy to give your chil-
dren to reduce the
urge to snack on treats
that have not been
inspected.
Wear light-col-
ored or reflective cos-
tumes and carry a flash-
light for visibility.
Young children
should trick-or-treat
with adults while older

More Halloween Safety Tips
Most plans for a safe Halloween should start well before
Halloween and include getting a safe costume that is:
Flame Resistant. Since candlelit pumpkins are popular on
Halloween, a flame resistant Halloween costume is very impor-
tant. Although it is easy to buy a Halloween costume that is
flame resistant by simply checking the label, if you are making
a homemade costume, be sure to use flame resistant materi-
als.
Easily Visible at Night, which might include some kind of
reflective tape or other bright and reflective materials incorpo-
rated into the costume.
Well Fitted to Your Child and not too long so that it can
make your child trip and fall, a leading cause of injuries on
Halloween. Masks, hats, and other accessories, such as a
sword, should also be appropriate to your child's size.
In addition, to help make sure your child can see and can
be seen, you might incorporate a flashlight into your child's cos-
tume.


children are encouraged
to trick-or-treat
with friends or in a
group.
Be extra careful
with toddler's goodies.
Remove all choking
hazards or treats that are
age- inappropriate,
including hard candy
and toys with small
parts.
When in doubt,
throw it out!
If using dry ice
for decorations, be
aware that direct contact
with the skin or mouth
can cause a frostbite
type injury. Wash
immediately with water.
Purchase non-
toxic face paint or
makeup for costume
use. If makeup is swal-
lowed, call the
Florida/USVI Poison
Information Center -
Jacksonville at 1-800-
222-1222 for treatment
instructions.
The Florida/USVI
Poison Information
Center Jacksonville is
available 24 hours a day
for asking questions or

gency.

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

Dear Deanna!
I am in a relationship that I now see as potentially abusive. My
boyfriend is older than I am and he tries to control me. At first I
thought it was cute and protective. Now I'm afraid because he
shouts at me if he sees me looking at another man and he makes
me dress and look like an old maid. I hardly recognize myself
and I am miserable and unhappy but afraid to leave. What suggestions do you have that
could help me live again?
Trapped (Dayton, OH)

Dear Trapped:
All you have to do is realize you only live once and life doesn't give you a practice test. You
have one shot and your one shot is being taken away by an insecure older man. Use your
mind and find a job and a place to live. Once you have this established get up one day, take
a bath, pack your bags, lay your key on the table and walk out the door. The only way you
can have freedom is if you choose it. If not, your life will become worse and then you die.
**** **********

Dear Deanna!
My girlfriend lives in a fantasy world and it's hilarious. There's always drama around her
and she looks really weird. Initially I was fine with the hair extensions, fake eyelashes and
breast implants. Now she's injected her lips and her extensions are past her waist. I've been
slowly pulling out of the relationship because her behavior and appearance is embarrassing.
She tries to act like a Diva, thinks she has class and I'm tired of being in a cartoon. Help!
Jake (Wilmington, NC) \

Dear Jake:
You know good and well you were attracted to this dumb stuff in the beginning and that's
why you entered the relationship in the first place. However, after the character you call a
girlfriend started affecting you, it became a problem. You can always be bold and ask "will
the real person stand up" or you can be like Elmer Fudd and say "that's all folks" and keep
it moving.
********* ******

Dear Deanna!
I wish my friends would stop imposing their views upon me. I don't have to reveal my reli-
gious beliefs to no one because it's my business. My friends are high and mighty in the
church and always want to judge me and tell me that I'm going to Hell when I die. They
always want to look at my life but forget that they're fornicating, drinking and living with
men. How do I get them to leave me alone without being too rude?
Alisha (Queens, NY)

Dear Alisha:
You can shut them down immediately with the scripture from John Verse 8, let he who is
without sin cast the first stone. You'll notice that if you flip the script and highlight the Word
on them, they'll back off and take a look at themselves. As for judgment no human can
determine who goes where. However, you can stay on the plus side and avoid the heat by
doing the right thing, living right and keeping the faith.

SANKOFA is a non-traditional rite of passage program initiated by MAD DADS. The
mission of SANKOFA-is to motivate youth and their families; to ensure positive self-
esteem, strengthen the family unit, and re-establish a sense of community. The
program is designed to teach youth and parents how to create a more positive,
structured, and cohesive environment, both at home and in the community.
The program is culturally dynamic allowing the participants to explore the experience
of the African in the American context. Even though SANKDFA is African based, its
goals of building strong values and principles will ultimately enable youth from all walks
of life to function in this ever-changing world.
SANKOFA'S 12-week curriculum concentrates on the daily problems facing each
participant. Sadly, these problems are complex and varied in scope, emanating from
societal dysfunction's that cause the transformation and disintegration of the
traditional family.
Historically, rites of passage programs have utilized creeds and ceremonies to help
participants identify with the purpose and meaning of the program; SANKOFA does the
same. Upon completion of the program, youth become a part of a comprehensive
after-care component. The after-care component, supported by MAD DADS offers an
integrated system of support for youth as they reactivate themselves within their
communities.
SANKDFA's curriculum is applicable not only at a community improvement level, but
also as an adjunct to treatment offered by therapists, psychiatrists, judges, etc. Youth,
ages 15 25 are selected for participation in the program via various means.
Referrals are accepted from the courts, private and public agencies, schools,
churches, and community organizations. In addition, MAD DADS actively recruits
appropriate participants and accepts walk-ins.
SANKOFA assists youth, their families, the community, and thereby the nation, by
redirecting at-risk, court involved, and socially unengaged youth into a positive
direction of community involvement and self-improvement.
The SANKDFA program is designed for:


* African American males 15 25 years old
* 12 weeks Class Commitment
* Youth in or out of school
* Young man willing to learn and move toward a positive future
* Youth willing to take a visible leadership role in their community
* Court or community referred youth
* Young men able to complete the application and interview
process with MAD DADS


An Infusion of Low-Wage Jobs in
the Black Community isn't Worth
the Price of Our Dignity
By: Tonyaa Weathersbee, BAW
(with permission)


It's easy to accuse an activist like the Rev. Lennox
Yearwood of overreaching when he calls the battle to make
retail behemoth Wal-Mart do right by inner-city people the "lunch-counter moment for the
21st century." Thing is, though, the brother has a point.
Yearwood, who is CEO of Hip Hop Caucus, a Washington D.C. group that works to
give the hip-hop generation a voice in their future, made that comment during a recent con-
ference call with a group of urban activists who are worried that this country is drifting
farther away from Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of ending poverty in the richest nation
in the world. They are especially concerned that the nation's largest private employer, Wal-
Mart, which pays wages so low that some of its workers qualify for food stamps and other
public benefits, has its sights on expanding into job-strapped communities. The company,
they say, is more about further exploiting the misery of the people who live there rather
than help lift them out of it.
Yearwood believes now, as it was in the 1960s with Woolworth's segregation, the issue
isn't just about a convenient job or cheap shopping. And he's right. Back in the day, black
people could shop at Woolworth's. They could even buy a hot dog at Woolworth's. But
they couldn't eat it there. So that hot dog came at the cost of their dignity.
But the way Yearwood and a number of other, civil rights and political leaders see it,
black communities will be forced to put their dignity on the line again if Wal-Mart has its
way. A new report by the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy -- the group that
helped Inglewood, Calif., fight Wal-Mart's plans to build a store there -- and the
Partnership for Working Families decries its business strategy for expanding into black
communities. Much of that strategy entails massive public relations campaigns and giving
money to ministers, politicians and charities -- who tend to be all too happy to persuade
the masses of black people who live there that they have no choice but to accept a low-
wage existence.
That's too bad. Because they ought to at least try to see their constituents through the
lens of potential rather than through the prism of hopelessness. They ought to be driving
the terms for Wal-Mart's move into their communities, not the other way around. They
ought to be trying to do what Martin Luther King Jr. tried to do when he was alive: Appeal
to conscience, not acquiesce to greed. When it comes to Wal-Mart and greed, there's a lot
to work with.
Like many other people, I used to wonder why activists made such a fuss about injus-
tice at Wal-Mart. The reason is simple. Wal-Mart rakes in nearly $300 billion annually, and
the family that owns it, the Waltons, is worth billions.
When a company is that huge, it can afford to transcend profit motives to set the right
ethical and humanitarian standards. What's more is that it can afford to do so. Companies
much smaller than Wal-Mart pay living wages and decent benefits and manage to stay in
business. There's no reason why any of its workers ought to have to rely on public assis-
tance to make ends meet.
That's the thing that black community leaders ought to keep in mind when dealing
with Wal-Mart. They also need to understand that as bad as the employment picture is in
their communities, they do have some leverage. Wal-Mart is running out of places to build,
so in a sense, urban communities are a last frontier.
Most of all, like Yearwood, black leaders need to remember their history. They need
to remember that for a long time, black people accepted and lived with indignity just to
survive. It wasn't right then, and it isn't right now. If an infusion of jobs can't be a vehi-
cle to help struggling inner-city people reclaim their dignity by helping to lift them out of
poverty, then, in the long run, not much will change. And instead of giving Wal-Mart a
pass for giving money to them or other groups, those leaders would do well to realize that
charity is one thing.
Justice is another.

POTATO SACK DRESS
Ester Davis
ReligionAndSpirituality.com
October 18, 2007

I have thought so many times about resuming those
well-attended "etiquette" classes (Lace Glove Modeling
and Etiquette Class) we had in the '80s and '90s at Red
Bird Mall. I still have the award given to me by one class, dubbing me affection-
ately the "USA Image Drill Sergeant."
The other day at an upscale reception line I saw a tall, slender, ungraceful
young lady stoop disgracefully. The registration table was a standard one. But this
young lady did not know, nor had she been taught, how to handle her height. Here
is a simple rule. When required to stoop to sign a register, drink from a low drink-
ing fountain, use a desk telephone, etc., bend every place at once, i.e., the knees,
thigh joints, waist, shoulders and neck, so that one long gentle curve is presented
to your public and no part of your anatomy is given prominence.
Poise is the movement of beauty. It is not accidental. It is in all circumstances
acquired, learned in dance class, ballet, sports, modeling class, fencing, speech
class, piano or guitar classes. Much of it comes from inner confidence. The bal-
ance from discipline. And, of course, confidence comes from knowing what to do
and how to do it. Let's take, for instance, entering a room. You can flow and float
in and out of a room with the most prestigious gown on. But, when you have
learned to do common, everyday things like walking, sitting, greeting and moving
uncommonly well, you will have come a long way toward capturing that mysteri-
ous "poise' that people talk so much about. Some insiders confuse it with sex
appeal. But it is the grace of God shining through.
My real hot button is posture, the most essential part of beautiful, graceful
movement. Perfect posture is the stunning key. Good posture can make you look
regal in a potato sack dress. Impeccable manners, sitting, rising and hand positions
will give the potato sack dress another name, another serious look. You then begin
to think. That is certainly not a potato sack dress. Must be a new fabric. Or maybe
a newly discovered designer in town for "Fashion in the Park." Contrary to popu-
lar belief, what you have on and the cost associated thereof, is not "what makes the
man." Posture, your body expression, will tell the real story. The manner in which
you handle your body getting from one place to another is a sequel to the story.
The whole world notices you more in motion, because subconsciously an opin-
ion is registered, i.e., tension, anger, skinny, fat, short, elegant or unspeakable. So,
if clothes do not make the mian, what does? Character makes the man. And char-
acter rests on a three-legged stool: confidence, discipline and dignity.

DUVAL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT RECOGNIZES
NATIONAL LEAD POISONING PREVENTION WEEK
JACKSONVILLE, FL The Duval County Health Department (DCHD) recognizes
and is participating in National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW) October 21-
27 along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This year's
NLPPW theme, Protect Our Most Valuable Resource-Our Children," underscores the
importance of preventing lead exposure before children are harmed to prevent lead poi-
soning's serious health effects, such as brain damage, learning and behavior problems or
even death.
News this summer that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
recalled millions of toys after determining they contained excessive amounts of lead
recently elevated the issue of childhood lead poisoning in the United States. In fact, the
CDC estimates nearly half a million children living in the U.S. have blood lead levels high
enough to cause significant damage to their health.
The Duval County Health Department-Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program (CLPPP) during National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, CLPPP will raise
awareness about this health issue by visiting Physician Offices, Daycares, and Headstarts;
DCHD will conduct lead screenings at a local Headstart and visit local contractors to
emphasize the use of Lead Safe Work Practices when renovating pre-1978 homes.
All children under 72 months of age are potentially at risk for lead poisoning. The only
way to know if a child has been exposed to lead is through a blood lead test. There are
many ways parents can reduce a child's exposure to lead. First and foremost, hazards in a
child's environment must be identified and controlled or removed safely. Sources of lead
include:
Dust and chips from paint in homes built before 1978
Ground soil
Various imported goods, such as toys, Mexican candy, traditional ceramics, chil-
dren's jewelry
Some drinking water
Folk remedies
The State of Florida has recommended that target areas for lead poisoning risk be iden-
tified as zip codes containing census block areas with greater than 27% of the homes built
before 1950 or greater than 74% of the homes built before 1970. Duval County has a total
of 25 zip codes that meet these criteria. It is estimated that 36,400 pre-1950 homes are
located in these affected neighborhoods, and 67% of children less than 6 years of age
reside in the targeted areas. "The Duval County Health Department-Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) has screened thousands of children within the
targeted zip codes and partners with the City of Jacksonville to help remove lead in the
homes of low income families and to educate the public about the affects of lead poison-
ing," says Dr. Tiffany Turner, DCHD Lead Program Supervisor.
For more information about preventing childhood lead poisoning, contact DCHD's at

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 withinthe 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:

Guest Perspective: California
Wildfires Prove that Disaster Equality
in America.Still a Long, Long Way Off


By Erin Aubry Kaplan,
Special to BlackAnericaWeb.comn

Americans of all political
stripes are prone to thinking
of their country as the land
of achievement equality, a
place where people of color
can earn PhD's and buy
summer homes as readily as
whites, at" least in theory.
But the real measure of
America lies not in the
equality of achievement, but
in the equality of disaster --
according people of all color
the same degree .of respect
and humanity not when
they're at their best, but
when they're in crisis or at
their most vulnerable. The
catastrophic wildfires in
Southern California this
week have certainly pro-
voked that concern and
humanity, and then some; it
has also proved beyond any
doubt that disaster equality
in America is still a long,
long way off.
Watching the sympathet-
ic coverage of the fires from
my front-row seat in L.A.,
of course I think of
Hurricane Katrina. The del-
uge in New Orleans and the
gulf coast happened two
years ago and quickly estab-
lished itself as the mother of
all modern disasters:
Thousands dead or missing,
half a city turned into a
ghost town overnight, prop-
erty damage almost too high
to calculate. But though the
event was covered diligently
enough TV news loves
nothing better than a disaster
unfolding in real time the
great majority of people vic-
timized by the event were
not. The masses of black
poor and working-class try-
ing to find shelter and aid
were regarded by the media
not with sympathy, but with
puzzlement; indifference,
and in some cases, hostility.
In the midst of one of the
worst crises in American
history, blacks were imme-
diately cast in familiar roles
as criminals and slackers
until they proved them-
selves otherwise. Little
attention was paid to the fact
that most of the displaced
were New Orleans natives
who were being suddenly
and violently torn from the
only home they had ever
known. Katrina quickly
shaped up not as a story of
human tragedy, but a narrow
one of public safety how
people were faring was less
important than how Wal
Mart was protecting its
stock from looters.
Contrast this with the
story of the wildfires that is
still being told. Of course
Southern California is a dif-
ferent landscape and demo-
graphic than New Orleans:
The fire victims are notably
white and affluent, the
homes being destroyed sit
on exclusive beachfront and
mountain locales. California
is the light-filled projection
of an enduring American
dream of the good life-the
last, best place for "acheive-
ment. equality" -- while
Louisiana (and the entire old
South) is the ancient reposi-
tory of the American night-
mare of race and inequality
of all kinds. Still, the differ-
ences in disaster narratives


are startling. Fife victims in
Malibu, San Diego, Santa
Clarita Valley and Orange
County are clearly victims
(a word we are loathe to
apply to blacks in any place
or circumstances). Through
no fault of their own, they


have lost houses that they
have worked hard to
acquire -- the more expen-
sive the house, the. more
sympathy they deserve.
People are shown over and
over leaving these ill-fated
homes clutching valuables
or clinging to beloved pets;
the emphasis is on personal
loss and separation. In con-
trast, the black New
Orleanians were portrayed
as having almost nothing to
lose besides the clothes on
their backs. True, many
were renters, not home-
owners, but that's a techni-
cality; being New Orleans
natives with families going
back generations more than
qualified them for the kind
of sympathy we're pouring
on California like flame
retardant.
Then there's the issue of
whether people should be
living in these perilous
locations in the first place.
In New Orleans, the sub-
text of many post-Katrina
discussions was that the
below sea-level parts of the
city was a major flood
waiting to happen, and the
chiefly black residents
were somehow at fault for
being in the way. That's
actually a viable idea in
Southern California, where
houses are routinely swept
away by seasonal fire and
mudslides on land clearly
not meant for building
houses or anything at all.
But the land is desirable,
the owners willing to pay
for their custom piece of
the American dream, so all
culpability is forgiven. Or
forgotten.
The last, but hardly
least, difference of note
between then and now is
the government response.
Unlike former Louisiana
governor Kathleen Blanco,
California governor-cum-
celebrity Arnold
Schwarzanegger took
charge from day one,
assuring the state that any
and all resources would be
brought to bear on emer-
gency management.
Washington couldn't
respond quickly enough;
'Bush made a disaster dec-
laration, and FEMA was on
the scene in (relatively)
record time. Of course this
was an ideal moment for
the feds to prove they
weren't really as clueless
and uncaring as they
appeared in '05 -- a perfect
political opportunity for
Republicans to do some
much-needed image
rebuilding. I was encour-
aged to see the media
express healthy skepticism
-- one news anchor asked
FEMA chief David
Paulison if he really
expected people to trust his
* agency to do the right thing
this time.
We have learned a little
from experience. But not
enough. The depth and
efficiency of California's
disaster cleanup only
underscores the pain of

opportunity for public comment. It is the policy of the Florida Department of Transportation to
prohibit materials and/or exhibits in our public workshops, meetings or hearings that are not the
property of the Department. Therefore, no outside party will be allowed to display or hand out
materials in any of these events.

The proposed improvements will be to resurface Tallulah Avenue. The Department is
recommending as part of the resurfacing project to re-stripe the roadway to a three-lane section,
replacing the four 10 foot wide travel lanes. The proposed roadway would consist of a 12 foot wide
two-way center turn lane and a 14 foot wide travel lane in each direction. This would allow vehicles
to safely move into a center turn lane without blocking the remaining travel lanes. This public
hearing is being held to present the construction plans, discuss the Department's recommendations
and receive your input,

As of October 11, 2007, the construction plans will be available for your review during normal
business hours at the Bradham Brooks Northwest Library, 1755 Edgewood Avenue West,
Jacksonville, Florida 32208.

This hearing is being conducted to inform the public of the project and afford the public .the
opportunity to express views concerning the location, conceptual design and social, economic and
environmental effects of the proposed improvements. Those who wish to submit written statements
may do so at the hearing or mail them to the address below no later than November 30, 2007. All
comments received by this date will become part of the public hearing record.

This project is being developed in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This

OCTOBER 27, 2007


After the Jaguars lost
Monday against the
Indianapolis ,Colts 29-7,
they are going to need a lit-
tle encouragement and
patience from their diehard
fans. With Garrard out for at
least a month, fill in QB
Quinn Gray or the newly
signed To dd *Bouman will
have to do.
Coach Jack Del Rio did-
n't paint a pretty picture in
his postgame interview fol-
lowing the loss. Starting
quarterback David
Garrard's ankle injury hap-
pened in the second quarter
and Del Rio told reporters
following the game that
Garrard is likely to be out of
action when the Jaguars
play at Tampa Bay on
Sunday.
Ga rard was attempting
to avoid a pass-rush when
he was tackled low by
defensive tackle Ed
Johnson, who hit Garrard
near the knee and rolled
onto his ankle. Garrard left
the field with only a slight
limp and returned to the


game late in the quarter.
Following halftime, it was
announced that Garrard
would not return to the field.
SWith that news, a night
that began with such prom-
ise for the Jags and one of
the most enthusiastic
crowds Jin team history,
turned around for the, wo rst.
Quinn Gray replaced
Garrard as quarterback,
helped lead the Jaguars to a
short touchdown drive that
cut the deficit to 17-7, but
after Gray was sacked in the
end zone by Dwight
Freeney, the outcome was
never in doubt again.
It was announced that
Todd Bouman signed a one
year contract with the
Jaguars for back up quarter-
back while Garrard's ankle
heals.
Jaguars running back
Maurice Jones-Drew miissed
practice Wednesday because
of a sprained~left knee, but
he said he expected to play
in the Tampa Bay game.
"I'm good," he said.
"There's nothing wrong. I


just got hit on the knee. It's
like you fall and you get cut.
It'll heal. It's nothing. It'll
scab up and then it'll heal. I
don't understand 'the big
deal."!
Jones-Drew injured his
knee with about a minute to
play. in Monday night's 29-7
loss to Indianapolis. He
limped off the field, and
tests revealed no major
damage.
Coach Jack Del Rio said
he hoped to have Jones-
Drew practicing by the end
of the week and available
Sunday.
"We think we have a
good shot of getting him
Sunday," Del ~Rio said.
"We'll just see how the- week
goes. He's still a little sore
and we'll monitor that day
by day and see how it goes."
The Jaguars made a ros-
ter move last week waiving
third-year linebacker Pat
Thomas. He had played in
four games this season with
one start on opening week..

HOROSCOPE

October 27, 2007 November 2, 2007


n -I


/ ARIES
S March 21st thru April 19th
If you've got something to say, think it through
and get it off your chest on Monday. You're a
great communicator now, but for the next cou-
ple of days, your attention is likely turned
inward. Dealing with stuff around your place
while mulling things over might be the best
plan. Save the socializing (and the romance!)
for Thursday and Friday, when you're 10 kinds
of hot. Get physical, too; being active gives
you even more of a glow. This weekend there's
a choice to be made and priorities to set. A
friend can help.


TAURUS
April 20th thru May 20th
Don't hesitate to offer your opinion or let your
feelings be known at the beginning of the
week. Even -- or especially -- if it feels a little
risky, it's the right thing to do. Around Tuesday
and Wednesday in particular, people are likely
to embrace what you do and say. At the end of
the workweek, however, your words are more
powerful than you.know. A little tact helps a
great deal, so tone things down. This weekend,
on the other hand, is the perfect time to turn it
up. What is 'it'? That's up to you. Romance,
maybe?



GEMINI
May 21st thru June 21st
You're so on it on Monday that it's practically
scary. It's the perfect day to make plans and
make moves -- and make your feelings known.
The next few days look far more low-key, or
maybe they should. Take it easy and seek clar-
ity in your thoughts; clear thinking could be
elusive now. You can get back in action on
Thursday and Friday, when work looks fun
and your time after hours looks amazing.
Anyone who can keep up with you is lucky as
heck to be by your side. The weekend's about
sorting through a lot of communication to find
the kernel you seek.


CANCER
... .' June 22nd thru July 22nd
Get busy on Monday. Work hard to get some
tasks and chores out of the way, because the
energy you've got coming around Tuesday and
Wednesday is frighteningly great. Your
instincts have rarely been better, and acting on
them is absolutely favored. Romance? Go for
it! Watch out for overdoing it at the end of the
workweek, though, especially if you're con-
templating a financial extravagance. How will
your actions now impact the future? This
weekend, the little things, like sweet interac-
tions and intervals of peace and quiet, mean a
lot.


LEO
-5 /L j Jul 23rd thru Aug 22nd
The big lion's just a kitty cat as the week gets
going. You may even be a little bit oversensi-
tive. Let your natural warmth and affection
show, and it'll be returned in kind. And when
Thursday and Friday come, look out! That
warmth turns seriously hot, with your charis-
ma making any and all situations electric. If
you've got an idea at work or in romance, get
it out there now. As for the weekend, your
money may be uppermost in your mind. It
might be a good time to eliminate extrava-
gances and enjoy the simpler things in life.


VIRGO
I Aug 23rd thru Sept 22nd

You're all over the details as the week begins,
but are you neglecting the implications of the
biggerpicture? Get help from a friend or men-
tor -- someone with the great vision to match
your current fine focus. You've definitely got
something to offer them in turn. Whatever con-
crete plans you have toward the end of the
workweek, whether they're for business or
pleasure, are in no way set in stone. Can you
adapt? As far as the weekend goes, it's just a
matter of what you want to do with the awe-


some energy the stars are sending you. You're
fabulous. Work it!


LIBRA
Sept 23rd thru Oct 22nd


Move new agenda items, both at work and in
your personal life, to. Monday, when your
brainpower is up and you're feeling experi-
mental. Over the next few days, you're more
focused on emotional angles. It looks like
you're helping someone else out with a prob-
lem, but don't forget to work in some time for
you, too. Around the end of the workweek,
your creative capabilities are highlighted. This
is a fabulous time for finding fresh solutions
and finessing interpersonal stuff-- and for fun,
too. Your personal touch only gets better this
weekend. Reach out!

SCORPIO
Oct 23rd thru Nov 21st

If you've got the urge to make an unusual
move or finally say something you've been
thinking, slow down at the beginning of the
week. A little extra instinct kicks in around
Tuesday or Wednesday, informing your timing
and actions rather beautifully. Give the credit
to increased powers of observation and sensi-
tivity -- and try your utmost to carry them over
into the end of the workweek. Career matters
look tricky now, and finesse is better than
flamboyance. When the weekend comes,
though, you'll be able to relax and de-stress. A
sweet secret for you is also in the stars.


/i SAGITTARIUS
j Nov 22nd thru Dec 21st
Even you might find what's going on around
you unusual at the beginning of the week.
Certainly there are more questions than
answers, and the exploring might be fun at
times, and a little scary sometimes, too. Keep
your values firmly in hand and be ready for
anything. Thursday and Friday look just plain
lucky for you, though. If you're making roman-
tic plans, these are the days to choose! Your
sense of humor makes you very popular now,
one-on-one or in a group. This weekend, hur-
rying is a major don't. Do things slowly, and do
them right the first time.

FJ1 CAPRICORN
Dec 22nd thru Jan 19th

A new idea (or is it a new person?) deserves in-
depth consideration at the outset of the week. It
may take a concerted effort to find the time to
concentrate on it (or them), especially because
social stuffs favored on Tuesday and Wednesday.
But this exploration is totally worth your time.
Ideas of ownership come into play at the end of
the workweek. What's yours is yours, right? If
you're clinging too tightly, maybe the answer
should be no -- or maybe. This weekend, your
trust is rewarded, and life looks steady and sweet.


,,. AQUARIUS
o/ /. Jan 20th thru Feb 18th

Wear something different and speak your mind
with self-confidence on Monday. What's
unique .about yoti sparkles right now even
more than usual, especially interpersonally.
Life may not be totally easy for a day or two
after that. Be proactive about staying healthy,
centered and supported, and you'll be ready for
an influx of what could be extraordinary stuff
around Thursday and Friday. It looks like a
relationship could be very positively impact-
ed! Take care of little things this weekend. It'll
be immensely satisfying.



PISCES
Feb 19th thru March 20th
It might seem like opposite day on Monday,
with people saying the reverse of what they
mean, left looking like right and up seeming
down. Hold on, because the next couple of
days, while also mysterious, make sense to
you in odd ways. Unmask somebody -- or let
your real self be revealed! You might be taken
as overbearing at the end of the workweek,
even if you're just telling it like it is. Think
about the delivery as well as the message. This
weekend, feel free to speak off the cuff, act
impulsively and have a terrific time.

D called originally to make arrangements to
meet her to get his. children, but quickly
turned the conversation into whether or not
she would take him back. Ms. R stated that
she ended the conversation, but he contin-
ued to call. Ms. R. stated that she went down
to her car to load her children up and
observed Mr. D pull into her apartment
complex. She stated that he walked past her
and up her stairs to her apartment where he
stuck a key in the door and broke off the
key. She stated that he then left in his vehi-
cle. Ms. R stated that this is an ongoing
problem with Mr. D, but due to her not hav-
ing any witnesses besides her children, the


State has not proceeded with any charges. She was issued a State's Attorney's
card. She declined to go to a safe location.

WAS IT THE FOOD OR THE DRUGS? two officers were dispatched to the
2000 block ofYulee St. in reference to an armed fight. While enroute to the call, the
dispatcher informed the officers of an alleged firearm being in a blue scooter. Upon
their arrival, they recovered the weapon from underneath the seat. Ms. M (the vic-
tim) advised she and the suspect argued over food the suspect wanted to eat. She
stated that she snatched the food from the
suspect, who then grabbed her by her hair
and then grabbed a bottle and threw it at
her, but missed her and hit Mrs. W (victim '
2). Mr. M (victim 1) stated she then ran
outside towards the vehicle where she-
knows the suspect keeps his firearm. She .
said she feared the suspect would harm her
so she retrieved a chain from a gate to try .,
and prevent the suspect from getting the
firearm from the car. She stated that as all
parties exited the residence, an unknown
male suspect pointed a firearm at the par-
ties involved. She stated the unknown sus-
pect ran after hearing police sirens
approaching. During a search of the vehicle, the officers found a 600 ml clear meas-
uring device containing a white powder substance and a razor blade wrapped in
newspaper underneath the seat of the vehicle. The suspect was arrested.

A CASE OF RODE RAGE An officer was dispatched to the 2200 block of W.
Edgewood Ave. in reference to an aggravated assault situation. Upon his arrival he
met with Mr. T (the victim) who reported that Mr. W (suspect) pointed a gun at him
and made a threat to shoot him. When the officer searched the suspects car, he found
a 380 crome plated semi-automated weapon with one round in the chamber and six
rounds in the magazine clip. The victim said he and his girlfriend Ms. B (witness)
and their two children pulled into the parking lot of a food store. The victim said the
suspect was in front of them and
stopped so they went around him to
....-,:" -'" .... '. park, when he did, the suspect pulled
along side them and started cursing
and told them that "you can get killed
or kill someone driving like that"
while continuing to curse at them.
The victim said when he started curs-
ing the suspect back, he pulled a
handgun and pointed it at him stating
he would shoot him. The suspect told
S.'. .. the officer he had a gun in his hand,
'-9F '" ': r1' ;.. but did not point it at the victim. The
S suspect was arrested for aggravated
-''' .. :'; assault with a deadly weapon.

ssSHH! From Actual Police Reports
SDidi You Hear About?.,






FEAR OF RETALIATION An officer was
dispatched to the 8600 block of Vermanth Rd.,
due to information of a person lying in the yard
cut. Upon arrival, the officer observed the victim
laying in the yard, he was unable to provide
information due to his condition. He was .
observed to have blood on the left side of his i-
body. Rescue 27 and Engine 19 responded to the
scene. The victim was taken to Shands where he
was stated to have life-threatening injuries, but
was later downgraded to critical but stable. The
officer then interviewed victim #2 who reported
he and victim #1 had been stabbed by the suspect
due to an argument over suspect's ex-girlfriend.
Due to fear of retaliation by the suspect and his
relationship to the "Bloods," none of the witnesses wanted to be directly associ-
ated with any statements. The officer did not find the suspect at his home, but
advised his family to call the police if he was to return.

HE BROKE A KEY OFF IN THE DOOR An officer was dispatched to the
7600 block of Blanding Blvd. in reference to a dispute involving a violation of
an injunction. Upon his arrival, he met with the victim, Ms. R outside of her
apartment. Ms. R stated that she has an injunction for protection against the sus-
pect Mr. D (father of her three children) for previous instances of domestic vio-
lence. The injunction stated that the victim and suspect could have contact only
to exchange the children, but that the suspect was forbidden from coming to the
victims residence. Ms. R reported that Mr. D began calling her at 10 a.m. and
continued to call her until 11:50 totaling five phone calls. Ms. R stated that Mr.

Toronto's Own G Mac Romancing The Ladies


By Rych McCain,
feedbackrych@
sbcglobal.net
Photos 02007 Courtesy of
KEMG Inc., Publishing

The greater Toronto,
Ontario metro area has a
deep and rich multi-cul-
tural music tradition in
producing top notch talent
that goes on to the world
stage of superstardom
from jazz great Oscar
Peterson to R&B/Pop diva
Deborah Cox. This mag-
nificent city has blessed
the music world with a
new up and coming talent
in the person of smooth,
sexy R&B crooner Gmac.
This handsome Jamaican
born, Canadian ladies
man has begun to make
his talent and stage appeal
known world wide. Gmac
wooed thousands of
spring breakers in Nassau
last year as a headline act.
He recently steamed up
the world famous "Roxy"
in Hollywood where
women in the crowd were
literally stripping to his
music. Gmac's single "Let
Your Body Talk," is out
and gaining airplay is
select markets worldwide.
His forthcoming CD
album titled Provocative
Sweet on the KEMG Inc.,
Publishing label is due for
release after the first of
New Year.
Many comparisons are
being made of Gmac but
almost all of those doing
the comparing universally
agree that he is the -next
coming romance broker in
the same line as Luther
Vandross, Al Green, R.
Kelley, Ronald Isley,
Marvin Gaye and others.
What is the basis of his
stage concept and female
appeal?


"My style is from Jodeci
and the old school style like
Marvin Gaye, Prince and a lit-
tle bit of everybody," he says.
"I just try to make it more
original and my style can be a
little more direct."
What about the controversy
that has stormed up in the
States about the use of offen-
sive language and vulgar
names in music?
"The language that I use in
my music is an everyday thing.
When you see people not com-
plying, it's not just that we fall
from the sky, which means
obviously there are affects and
stuff going on, but a lot of peo-
ple are afraid to be open to talk
about sex. People talk about
weapons, guns, mass destruc-
tion and war but are afraid to
talk about what is right around
us."
And the "N" word again?
Gmac continues, "my take on
that is definitely, the "N" word
shouldn't be said by anybody.
These guys (rappers) are
speaking their minds or what-
ever but that word is some-
thing that I really don't sup-
port. As far as calling women
"B's" and "H's", my music
doesn't go in that direction.
It's a good feel music that talks
about sex in a sweet, provoca-
tive way."
Gmac does write, his own
music as well as collaborate
with other writer/producers
and arrangers. He gives his
input on writing the single
"Let Your Body Talk" by say-
ing, "at the time, I was feeling
that erotic feeling of less talk-
ing and more action. So it
means let your body speak
with more action and less
talk." Gmac carries the same
message on stage with a live
band that gets down. His
shows are a throwback to the
old Motown. Stax Records.
Philadelphia International
Record days when you could

feel the singers who actually sung and
performed with live bands that responded
to their every spontaneous moves and
allowed them to really get loose on stage.
These "flavor-of-the-month" posters out
their now are restricted to canned, robot-
ic tracks and regimented choreography.

Wassup cont'd from D-4
also a cop and a bad son,
Bobby (Phoenix) who
hangs out with mob-
sters. The family is split
by the clashing of the
good and bad sons. For a
,mob film, there is not
that much attention get-
ting high drama and
only a couple of light
weight action scenes
(with your standard car
chase). Most of it is
pretty predictable. This
won't be a mob flick
block buster.
30 Days of Night
stars Josh Hartnett,


Melissa George, Danny
Huston, Ben Foster and
Mark Boone, Jr.
Directed by David
Slade. In the tiny isolat-
ed town of Barrow,
Alaska which is the
northern most located
town in the U.S., the
days and nights last for
30 days during certain
times of the year. A
group of ruthless vam-
pires converge on the
Town to take over and
bite up everybody in
sight. This flick is more
blood and gore than
scary. The snowy


scenery is authentic and
you do get the sense of
being cold. Josh
Hartnett has the type of
personality to carry any
film that he is in. He
does that well as Sheriff
Eben Oleson. This is
won't be a horror classic
but should hit the spot
for horror fans looking
for a Halloween spirited
night out
