Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce First Coast African American 7FA B SAAPA SOUTHEASTERN AFRICAN AMERICAN PUBLISHER'S ASSOCIATION National Newspaper Publishers Association Chamber of Commerce | . .. - Founded In April 1951 By Eric 0. Simpson First African American Inducted Into The Florida Press Hall Of Fame THE RECOVERY ACT Talking Points With the Recovery Act, we've started to reverse nearly a decade's worth of failed economic policies and rebuild our economy on a new foundation that puts the middle class first. Those failed policies of the past focused on cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires. They starved clean energy, research and technology projects of working capital, putting America years behind in the innovation race, and neglected America's critical infrastructure, allowing the roads, rails and bridges we need to be competitive to deteriorate. Small businesses couldn't gain access to the capital they needed to grow and American factories closed their doors as more manufacturing moved abroad. And, most devastating, those failed policies caused the fastest decline in jobs in decades, with an average 750,000 Americans losing their jobs each month by the time we took office. Today, the Recovery Act is helping reverse that slide and put our economy back on firm footing. * The Recovery Act immediately cut taxes for 95 percent of working families, giving 110 million hard-hit fami- lies a boost in their paychecks each week. * The Recovery Act is bringing new life to cutting-edge projects and is planting seed money to launch whole new industries so we can lead the world in innovation. * The Recovery Act is rebuilding tens of thousands of America's highways, ports, rails and bridges to help spur local economic growth and make it easier to move American products in the global marketplace. * The Recovery Act is helping nearly 70,000 small businesses not only stay alive, but expand and hire, by pro- viding nearly $30 billion in small business loan assistance. * The Recovery Act is helping American factories re-open and re-invent so that we can be more competitive than ever before in the global marketplace and make the best products in the world right here at home. * And, most importantly, the Recovery Act has put 3 million Americans to work that would be unemployed had we not acted and now our economy is adding private sector jobs instead of losing them. But if Republicans in Congress had their way, none of this progress would have been made. They opposed the Recovery Act from the beginning and have sat on the sidelines rooting for failure ever since. To this day, they still believe we would be better off had we not acted. Better off with 3 million more Americans out of work. Better off with tens of thousands more roads and bridges still in decay. Better off with 70,000 more small businesses struggling to stay open. Better off with middle class families hung out to dry. And they not only believe we'd be better off if we'd done nothing but they say that if given the opportunity, they'd take us right back to the exact same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. We've come a long way since this recession took hold and we still need to do more. This economic crisis was a decade in the making and we're not going to reach full recovery overnight. We have to build on the progress we've made with the Recovery Act and do more of what's working to counter a recession this deep. That's why the President has continued to lay out additional measures to rebuild our economy investments in infrastructure, tax cuts for small businesses, incentives to spur American innovation. And we hope Republicans will finally stop obstructing progress and join us as we work to repair the damage they caused over the last decade. But America faces a clear choice right now: Do we return to the failed policies of the past decade, settling for a slow decline, where we keep losing jobs to our com- 0 0petitors and middle-class families keep losing ground? Or do we continue to build on the progress made with the Recovery Act so that we once again have a growing econ- omy and a thriving middle-class? Do we slide backward or move forward? If we choose to move forward, then we will restore this economy; rebuild our mid- dle-class; and reclaim the American Dream for the next generation.

In 1970, Dr. Mitchell became one of the first two African Americans to receive Doctoral degrees from Florida State University and the first to earn a Ph.D. in Educational Administration. His love of music and vocal skills garnered him membership in the FAMU College Quartet joining Robert Anders, Reverend Eugene White and the late Dr. Benjamin Groomes. This same quartet volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army and with the intervention of the late Dr. George Gore, the president of FAMU; they were able to remain together during their Army years. They performed both nationally and internationally before their discharge and return to FAMU to complete their studies, thus keeping their promise to Dr. Gore, "Return to FAMU and complete your studies when you have finished their Army tour of duty." Dr. Mitchell would later organize and direct the Duval County Teachers Ensemble that was featured on the Sunday Morning Ken Knight Television Show. As an educator Dr. Mitchell served Florida State University, Mississippi Valley State University, University of North Florida in several capacities, and was the 24th President of Edward Waters College.

There is so much talk that taxes will be increased and the number of people on welfare will also increase. There is also much talk about tak- ing 'our country' back and many of the people talking are a part of that group of 30% that receive tax dollars for social security, medicare and medicaid, not welfare, because they are not receiving the right infor- mation. Listening to C-Span ear- lier this week, one man called and said that he wanted to see the country go back to white leaders rather than the jews and colored. The host quickly released his ability to be on the air. Another listen- er said that 'colored peo- ple' are not displaying their gratefulness for the freedom they have been given. With the kind of attitude being displayed, includ- ing such acts as not spending the stimulus money that would help boost the economy, we definitely will not have the country we have known. Almost 14.8 million people were unemployed in September. If the fighting and misrepresen- tation continues, the slow but growing economy will not have a chance. Is that what we want? Vote!

What one person may perceive as "nor- mal" or "comforting" may be torturous to another. IF you have ever known anyone who was operating in an altered state of mind (i.e. on drugs, medication, drunk, schizoid, etc.), then you know just what I mean. I want to talk to you about YOUR reality today. What is your definition of what is real and valid in your life? And how do you go about expressing and living out this reality in your daily life? Do you allow other people to paint reality for you, or do you boldly define what it is? I ask these questions because many of us are in the first category: we allow external persons, places, events, and ideas to determine what is and is not our reality. Are you accepting another person's BS definition of love? Are you going to a job that you are overqualified to work? Do you dim your star to make others comfortable and less intimidated? If so, then you are living OUTSIDE of your real- ity. A lot of the suffering that we endure on a daily basis is CHOSEN. Yes, I said that! Often we choose to allow the details of our lives to overwhelm us and bring us to a point of no inspiration, and no real drive to succeed and be happy. Suffering occurs when we as individuals refuse to closely examine our definitions of reality and what we do and do not want in our lives. So, I challenge you today to ask yourself, "Are you keeping it REAL with YOU?" Are you living the best life you can now? IF the answer is no, what is holding you back from doing so? Psychologists say that the mind is the most powerful 'drug' on the planet. By this, they mean that the mind has the power to create and/or negate any and every reality and illusion known to humankind. Don't believe me? Close your eyes Copyrighted Material and visualize yourself on the Southernmost Shore of Antarctica. What are you C Snen wearing? Is it cold? Is there anyone else with you? That visual exercise alone is Syndicated Content proof that you can create the illusion of Antarctica in your mind; because I am 99.9% sure none of us have ever been there. Available from Commercial News Providers Dear friend, I encourage you to pursue your life's desires and purposes NOW, because it is all we have. Don't live in someone else's reality telling your- self, "I'll do what I want tomorrow". Live fully in the present, and you will find yourself walking in reality. Practical Rituals: Create a list of 10 questions for yourself about anything that has been concerning you lately, fold this paper and sleep with it under your pillow for as many as 3 nights. "Sleeping on it" is a powerful way to gain the answers to the questions you have! Examine your definitions of love, trust, honor, respect, and fulfillment. Do they need redefining? Have you been living in a way that is worthy of them?

EDTO' NOE Sheriff's Office BEST WESTERN STRONG ARMED ROBBERY 5 October 2010 A male suspect is being sought in connection with a strong armed robbery that occurred at a S.R. 16/1-95 motel (Best Western) room Saturday afternoon. t timThe 41-year old Kentucky female victim told deputies that she was standing on the balcony with the room door opened when the unknown male subject walked into the room. The vic- tim thought the subject was a hotel employee and did not pay attention to him right away. She said she looked back into the room and the subject was in the bathroom area looking around and she thought it suspicious and confronted the subject. The subject mumbled a few words, grabbed her purse and ran out of the room. The suspect left behind a plastic grocery bag with trash inside. Several male subjects, who were with the victim but down stairs at the time, began to chase the subject but were unable to locate him as he was last seen running in a southeast direction. Deputies checked the area but were not able to locate the suspect who was described by the victim as a black male wearing a red shirt and long shorts. A newer model turquoise/aqua colored Dodge Challenger was spotted in the area at the time of the alleged incident. The victim reported that her purse and $3,000 were missing from the room.

Correspondent: Scott Jurrens Photographer: Joseph Lorentzson PAGE B-4 PAGE B-S PREP RAP OCTOBER 09, 2010 A 16-YEAR-OLD FAMU FRESHMAN HAS EARNED HIS SPOT TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida A&M University (FAMU) freshman, Ralph Jones Jr., a 16 year old from Atlanta, Ga. turned down offers to Howard University, Fort Valley State University and Morehouse College to attend FAMU. In addition to these institutions, he also turned down prominent Ivy League institutions such as the University of Alabama, Stanford University, Pennsylvania State University and Harvard University to become a Rattler. With an SAT score of 2,120 out of 2,400, it is understandable how he was admitted to the top institutions in the U.S. Jones is a recipient of the Life-Gets-Better Scholarship and a National Achievement Finalist. Jones was awarded $120,000 in scholarships, which includes a stipend, tuition and fees, room and board, books and a laptop. Being a member of a family who has a three-generation history of attending Fort Valley State University and parents who are educators, Jones feels that his childhood played a huge role in his development. "My background growing up is a little different," said Jones. "My par- ents are both educators. My mother is a first grade teacher and my dad was a college professor for some time. Needless to say, a large focus was on education in my house." By the time Jones was four-years old, he was adding, subtracting, dividing, reading at the ninth grade level and doing basic algebra. As impressive as Jones' ability to learn at a young age may seem, he continued to excel by setting a record of having the highest SAT scores in the past five years at his high school. Jones' former SAT math prep teacher and FAMU alumnae Kemberlee Pugh Bingham challenged her students by promising them an "A" in her class if they scored high on the SAT test. As a junior in high school, Jones scored a 1,910. The following year, he increased his SAT scores by more than 200 points. "You could never forget a kid like Ralph," said Bingham. "He is a child prodigy and has always been different from his peers. He would often pro- vide a challenge. One day, we went toe-to-toe and he strongly argued his point. I appreciate a kid who thinks critically; it shows that they care." When Jones shared his score with Bingham, she immediately inquired what college he planned to attend. "When I first told her, she was excited," said Jones, a mechanical engineering student. "One thing I can say about FAMU alumni is that they will lobby for their school. Before I knew it, she had gone over to her FAMU billboard and gave me a brochure on the Life-Gets-Better Scholarship, which was the first time I heard of the scholarship. She was like "Baby did you know you can go to FAMU for free for four years with a full scholarship and a com- puter?' and I was like 'no ma'am.'" The following year, Jones attended the recruitment fair that FAMU hosted in Atlanta, Ga., where he felt the energy in the room as President James H. Ammons began to articulate the Rattler Charge. "When Dr. Ammons got up, he began to say "When the dark clouds gather over the horizon' there was this atmosphere of tension and I knew something was going to happen," said Jones. "I did not know exactly what; it was very exciting. Then suddenly you heard hissing from all over the room and you saw people with fingers in the air and that is when you start to feel it. I was like wow! This is something bigger than what I could have expect- ed." During the award ceremony, Ammons awarded Jones with a $120,000 scholarship for four years along with a list of other incentives. It was Jones first scholarship before he learned about being selected as a National Achievement Scholar. "I am so pleased to know that he decided to attend FAMU," said Bingham. "I love my alma mater. When he told me what he made on the SAT, I was in shock because you do not come across those scores in my environment." Jones expressed that he has earned his place at FAMU. "Everything that I have worked for has helped me earn my place here," said Jones. "I am going to earn my right to stay here and when I grad- uate, I am going to have earned my degree."

Wolfson Children's Hospital Increases Visitation Precautions as Flu Season Begins Jacksonville, Florida, October 6, 2010 Now that flu season has begun, Wolfson Children's Hospital has implemented visitation precautions effective October 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011. During this timeframe, children age 5 and under will not be able to visit patients in the hospital. Parents and legal guardians are welcome to be with their hospitalized child at any time. This early precaution is due to the fact that young children are at higher risk for the flu, and is reinforced by feedback from parents and caregivers at Wolfson Children's Hospital during last year's HINI epidemic. In addition to the age restriction, Wolfson Children's Hospital asks that any- one with a fever or flu-like symptoms refrain from visiting patients at the hospital. This includes, but is not limited to, the patient's siblings, family members and friends. "We are committed to protecting our patients, family members, visitors and staff against the flu," says Wolfson's Chief Medical Officer Jerry Bridgham, MD. "Because young children are particularly vulnerable, we are taking this precaution to prevent exposure and reduce the likelihood of spread of germs to children who are already sick and hospitalized. We appreciate the community's understanding."
