The City of Brunswick will have to get accustomed to not seeing Roosevelt Harris, Jr. Harris announced this week that he is going to retire after serving the city for 36 years. Harris started working for Brunswick as an administrative assistant. He then moved to the position of Community and Economic Development. Thirteen years ago, Harris was appointed to the position of City Manager, and the community was very pleased. Harris said he is so happy to have had the opportunity to serve as city manager during the period the city was in a position to improve its environment such as handling such projects as the old City Hall and the Howard Coffin Recreation Park Many such projects were able to be facilitated because of his grant writing skills. Roosevelt Harris, Jr. has a Masters in Public Administration from Valdosta State University. Even though his position of City Manager kept him extremely busy, he was still able to serve as a volunteer in many projects and is a member of such organizations as 14 Black Men, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and Connecting Link of the Links Association. Feeling bad about the police killing, man turns himself in. See this and other stories in Crime and Justice section. An inmate serving a life sentence for crimes that include murder, an associate of a noted hip-hop music figure, has confessed to the 1994 shooting and robbery of late rapper Tupac Shakur at Quad Recording Studios in New York City, two years before he was slain on the Las Vegas strip. Dexter Isaac, 46, who was indicted in 1998 and convicted of murder, robbery, fraud and witness intimidation, told AllHipHop.com that Czar Entertainment founder James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond paid him $2,500 cash to rob Shakur and allegedly told him to keep the rapper's jewelry, with the exception of a single diamond ring Rosemond allegedly wanted to give his girlfriend. Isaac is coming clean after Rosemond who reportedly manages Mike Tyson and Sean Kingston identified Isaacs in a statement relating to Rosemond's indictment for dealing numerous kilos of cocaine. And since the statute of limitations had expired, legally, no one can be prosecuted for the assault against Shakur. www.thefloridastar.com Looking for customers to patronize your business or utilize your services?

"This partnership is a powerful step in the right direction," says Reginald Ware, BDO CEO and Founder. Our platform will enable NMA physicians to speak directly to Black consumers in a trusted environment and a selection of doctor specialties Frederick Walker Man Confess to Shooting Tupac Dexter Isaac, 46 Tupac-Shukur Black consumers spend $2.2 Billion with Toyota, yet Toyota refuses to thank Black consumers for their support. Toyota Motor Sales USA executives have angered National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) Chairman Danny Bakewell Sr. and Americas preeminent Black newspaper publishers after the troubled carmaker backed out of a multi-million dollar advertising campaign targeting Black consumers. In a letter to Mr. Bakewell and the NNPA, Toyota executives said that Black consumers of Toyota products receive their advertising message from a number of media channels which include mainstream media (white media), thus implying that advertising in the Black newspapers was unnecessary. This decision comes after months of meetings between Toyota executives and the NNPA, a network of 200 Black publishers which represents over 19.8 million weekly readers, approximately half of Americas Black population. Earlier this year, Toyotas president and CEO, Mr. Toyoda said, Everyone at Toyota will continuously maintain a sense of gratitude to customers Mr. Bakewell said, Based on Toyotas actions, it appears that Mr. Toyotas statement applies to everyone but the Black consumer. The issue first surfaced with Toyotas unwillingness to run Thank you ads in Black newspapers. This was after Toyota spent millions advertising in white newspapers with me after last years safety recall. Black people stood by Toyota during their time of crisis to the tune of $2.2 billion, said Mr. Bakewell. Where is the thank you to Black consumers for their support and loyalty to Toyota? We just cant stand by and let Toyota disrespect our people that way. Toyota insulted us by putting those thank you ads in white newspapers and refusing to address Black consumers in Black newspapers, said Walter Smith, publisher of the New York Beacon. What Toyota is doing is irreprehensible, commented Robert Bogle, publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer. If its so easy for Toyota to dismiss the Black press, no wonder they have no problem overlooking thanking their Black consumer base. Even though African-Americans contributed $2.2 billion to Toyotas annual sales, this was the second time that Black consumers were not included in Toyotas advertising campaign, the first being Toyotas immediate response to its sticky gas pedal defect Ulanda Peterson, 34 Bever;y McClain of Families of Slain Children, Ulandas mother, father, five kids and a host of family, friends of members of Household of Faith, joined at site of her death in prayer Brunswicks Leader Leaving September Black Doctors Association Increase Their Health Efforts Roosevelt Harris, Jr. Montel Williams Opens Marijuana Medical Store JOIN THE FLORIDA AND GEORGIA STAR NEWSPAPERs IN CELEBRATING THE HISTORICAL INAUGURATION OF MAYOR ALVIN BROWN.

Ulanda Peterson, 34, was a passenger in a vehicle Friday around 11 p.m. traveling north on Lem Turner and Broward Road when the driver of the car lost control and struck a concrete pole at the intersection and caught fire. Ulanda was unable to get out of the vehicle before it burst into flames. The driver of the vehicle was injected from the vehicle and suffered serious injuries. The accident is being investigated. Many know Montel Williams as a pitchman for several products, and for his nationally syndicated television talk show. But Williams will now be entering a new field as hes opening a medical marijuana dispensary in Sacramento, California. In a news conference this past weekend, Williams spoke about his battles with multiple sclerosis and how marijuana has helped him with the illness.

No matter what cultural background, maturity range, salary scale or religious conviction, divorce can be overwhelming, demeaning, financially draining (especially if you are proving child support and or alimony), and a emotional roller coaster that never seems to end. In Matthew 6:33 states, ..seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.., when searching for direction through this challenging time. The best guide is the reading of the Bible and seeking understanding of the Word. Reading and interpretation can refocus your life, redirect your spirituality in scripture and provides comfort and solace. Having gone through divorce it forced an understanding on what I need to improve in myself, not focusing on the faults or shortcomings of others. Not blaming, arguing about perceptions of right and wrong. The thoughts and emotional turmoil of blame, anger, self-pity, shame and defeatism have been cried over, cursed about and now distant memories, stored away in a heart mending itself together. As a divorced father I questioned how can I move on with my life, amplify my spirituality as a Christian man and still be in my childrens lives being a positive force, being a role model, and support mechanism, these are my focus points. To achieve them I understand that I need to be a highly involved father. Research has shown that being an involved father can be a big source of healing for a man and children. Men need to re-bond with their kids to keep them motivated in fathering. This Fathers Day instead of focusing on you refocus on the responsibilities of being a father, a man, a role model, renewing and recharging the commitment and covenant you have with your children. Children are a blessing from God as written in Psalm 127:3, with this knowledge, children being blessings, men/fathers have a responsibility to be a part of childrens lives and accept them as blessings from God the heavenly father. Children are not commodities to be traded, fought over, or bargained for. Their well being should be placed first during time of upheaval and emotional stress. Children do not cause divorce, but are directly affected by it. Fathers Day is for divorced fathers because of the hard work and sacrifices that are required to stay in childrens lives. No one can take away that fathers are a parent and aid childrens growth in dynamic ways. A divorced father may not physically be in the home, but the teachings, modeling and prayers are present in childrens life. The essence of what is shared within children. As is states in Ephesians 6:4, bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, the first responsibility that fathers must continue is to teach sons is to be respectful in order to get respect, the importance of education to obtain a career, provide for oneself and family and putting God first in all they do. In being fathers in deeds and duties sons will follow as an example of behavior. In accordance with sons, daughters taught to be independent thinkers and aspire to be self supportive, not leaning on being reliant on any man to provide for them. Daughters will seek a man similar to their fathers actions, demeanor and emotional statues even if it is self-destructive at times. Fathers set the foundation on whom daughters will look for in a mate. Just as sons, fathers must teach daughters who will be mothers one day to put God first in their lives and seek Godly men. Not men who follow the latest trends in fashions, cars and other material things which are not long lasting. Fathers must teach their little girls that they are empowered with dreams and aspirations to be successful and can achieve greatness. Stated in John 10:30, I and my father are one Jesus makes this statement as a testimony to his father. The same holds true for fathers and their children, you are one in many ways with your children. Some of these ways are visually evident and some ways will manifest themselves as your child matures into adulthood. Men and fathers have obtained wisdom that we should pass on to our children. In Proverbs 4:1-27 there is discussion of wisdom, gaining it through life experiences and reading of the Word. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom (Proverbs 4:7), and share it so children will not make the same mistakes as parents have. Real fathers guide their children, helping them to deviate from the possible path of the wicked, and not go in the way of evil men (ultimate self destruction) (Proverbs 4:14). This Fathers Day and beyond, be the father your father may not have been to you, be the dad that your children can be proud of and seek for guidance. Fathers this is your day to be recognized and no one can take that from you. Starting over is not easy, but the path can be peaceful, comforting and less challenging if we recognize the heavenly father first and continue to do the right thing by him and children. Sometimes doing the right thing is the hardest thing, sometimes doing the right thing is not the popular thing, sometimes doing the right thing will put us against what other people say, but at the end of the day what will our children and God say about you doing the right thing. Divorce is not the end of fatherhood just a new beginning and an opportunity to grow, but with the proper guidance from Gods help. What legacy do you want to leave for your children? God Bless divorced fathers, they are still fathers and dads in childrens lives, divorced fathers must stay involved and in prayer for wisdom and guidance.

After a record-breaking opening concert in Neptune Park over the Memorial Day weekend, Jazz in the Park returns to its familiar stomping groundsthe lawn of the St. Simons Island Lighthousefor a spectacular second concert of the season, Sunday, June 26, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The 2011 season continues with one of the series most popular performers, Latin jazz great Sam Rodriguez, making a welcome return to the venue after his sizzling performance in 2009. This distinct musical personality is one of the top percussionists of his generation, recognized for his strong and creative imagination and fresh, new sound. Once again, Jazz in the Park audiences will thrill to the Latin Beat. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket to relax on and a picnic supper and their favorite beverages to enjoy. The cost of the concert, payable at the gate, is $10 for adults, $5 for ages 612, and free for under 6. The season continues on high-tide Sunday evenings, June through September. For a full listing of performers and dates, please visit goldenislesarts.org or call GIAHA at the Ritz Theatre: 912262-6934. The 2011 season of Jazz in the Park is sponsored in part by Best Western Island Inn, Magic 105.9, The Wave 104.1, and Atlantic National Bank.Concert Etiquete 101CONSIDER THE VOLUME. Terry Theater Concert Hall is close quarters with excellent acoustics. What may be a whisper at Metro Center during rush hour is a full-throated conversation in the TimesUnion Center for the Performing Arts. We appreciate your consideration of others. PLAN AHEAD If you know youll need a treat to get you through the third movement of the Faur Piano Quartet, unwrap your candies beforehand. BE PUNCTUAL Latecomers can ruin the experience for those who have already settled into their seats. alt text KNOW WHEN TO CLAP The question of when to clap at a concert seems to be a matter of concern for many people who are new to classical music. The truth is, applause is always appreciated. In earlier days, audiences applauded at the end of any portion of a piece that moved them. Today, the applause is usually saved for the end of a completed piece; you will probably notice subcategories or movements listed beneath the title (which are often indicated with tempo markings). It is considered respectful of the performers concentration to hold applause until then. Of course, a sure-fire way to figure out the appropriate time to applaud is to wait for the rest of the audience to begin, and then join in! The important thing is to relax and enjoy the performance.

Dear Deanna! I loaned money to my girlfriends husband and now he wont pay the money back. I did this personal favor without talking to my friend first. He is now telling me to stop harassing him or hes going to accuse me of trying to sleep with him. Ive been sending him e-mails to call along with text messages and Ive called his cell phone. I thought I was doing the right thing by not mentioning the loan. How do I get my money without jeopardizing my friendship? Miss CeeCee Atlanta, GA Dear CeeCee: Its to your advantage to go ahead and write the money off unless youre willing to bring drama in your life. If theres no promissory note or paper trail indicating you loaned the money and it would be paid back, youre stuck.Youre being blackmailed and its going to get worse. Tell your friend about the loan, stop looking for payment and whatever happens in their relationship is not your fault because you chose to be honest and have integrity. Ask Deanna!

WATKINS JR., MD HEALTH NOTES FOOD FADDISTS GENERAL INFORMATION DEFINITION: Food faddists bring many claims and products to the attention of the public. Some of these products include royal jelly, honey and vinegar, yogurt, and other health foods. Royal jelly, which is the food of the queen bee, actually has no practical value to humans as a food, a drug, or a cosmetic. Claims of cures by honey and vinegar have been proved worthless by qualified medical scientists. Scientific evidence shows that yogurt has no more nutritional value than whole pasteurized milk. NATURAL FOODS: Many faddists claim that the only food that is good is natural food. They stress that foods which are processed lack essential nutrients. The claims of many of these natural food promoters have been exposed as worthless by the Food and Drug Administration of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. SOIL DEPLETION: Soil depletion is another favorite topic of food faddists. The faddists claim that repeated farming depletes the soil and that it can only be restored by organic fertilizers. The faddists insist that chemical fertilizers have no value. The Department of Agriculture has revealed that there is no evidence to support these claims. SUBCLINICAL DEFICIENCIES: Food faddists also expound the myth of subclinical deficiencies. If a person is continually tired, the food faddist has a product to supplement his diet. These faddists may offer alfalfa, ground bones, garlic, wheat germ, seaweed, volcanic ash, or blackstrap molasses to rid a person of a tired feeling. Despite numerous court convictions, many vendors of health foods and supplemental diets make vast sums of money. Often food faddists claim that all diseases are due to faulty diet. However, informed persons are aware that most diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses, and other causative agents. A person who accepts all the claims and products of food faddists may have a real problem, for he is obviously poorly informed about nutrition. He probably will be unable to detect misleading information promoted by food faddists and probably will avoid consultation with his physician about his nutritional problems.

PAGE B-4 THE STAR June 18, 2011 SPORTS PAGE B4 C M Y K Article written by: Eric Lee The Big 3 of Miami will have to wait another year to have another opportunity to realize their goal of winning multiple championships. The Dallas Mavericks made sure of that by handily beating the favored heat 4 games to 2to win the 2011 NBA championship Series. The Mavs gave the heat a taste of their own medicine, by employing a stifling defense which caused the Heat to turn the ball over repeatedly late in the fourth quater of the last 2 games of the championship series. The turnovers led to easy transition baskets on the other end of the floorfor the Mavericks. In contrast, the Heat seemed to be a step behind the Mavericks systematic half-court offensive sets. The end result: Championship dreams denied this yea, and deferred indefinitely. The Heat will be the favorites in the eastern conference again next year and are sure to use the off-season to address the weaknesses that were exposed by the Mavericks. Chiefly, they must do a better job of executing in the half court on offense rather than relying only on transition defense to generate their offensive production. Secondly, they must get better on defense against teams who are proficient systematic teams. The Mavs proved this year the same point Phil jackson coached teams have cashed in for championship rings 11 times; that the right system, executed properly, can trump talent. Although the Miami Heat are laden with super star talent and a great supporting cast; they must employ an offensive philosophy that rivals their defensive ideology. Dreams Delayed for Heat Big 3 A new year and clean slate. That is what has Florida Gator football fans excited about heading into the 2011 season with a brand new coaching staff and playing style. Considered a team that did not meet its potential in 2010, the Gators enter into a new era of football in Gainesville. Will Muschamp and his staff are bringing a brand of tougher, smash-mouth football and Muschamp's seemingly "no nonsense" attitude has Gator fans thinking big things ahead in 2011. However, Florida is still a young football team, especially on defense with an inexperienced secondary and defensive line. The 2011 season will be crucial for the future of Florida football and as many coaches will say, "Every game counts." Its not so important that the new look Gators win every game. I dont think anyone reasonably expects that. However, they will be expected to show up and compete at a very high level for 60 minutes every game. That is the kind of attitude this new coaching staff both expect and demand. Gators Look To Bounce Back! Check Out The New Florida Star e Edition now at:www.thefloridastar.com With just a little less than 3 months to go till the start of the 2011 college football season. The pundits have already begun to weigh in on the nations elite college football programs. Football preview magazines have already hit the bookstores and grocery store shelves. While these annual publications aren't always overflowing with new information or insight, they do give fanatic college football fans something to break the boredom of the long summer months. They are also useful in providing an objective view into how the college football world looks upon certain programs. If the points of view of arguably the three most popular preseason magazines Athlon, Lindy's and Phil Steele mean anything; it is apparent that the nation's perception of Florida State has changed as have the expectations. The Market Mags have the Noles an overall top 10 program heading into the 2011 campaign. The highest ranking from the three before mentioned magazines is Athlon which has the Noles ranked number 4 in the nation behind Alabama, Oklahoma, and Oregon. The next highest ranking is from Lindys which has the Noles ranked number 5 behind Oklahoma, Alabama, Oregon, and LSU. Phil Seeele has FSU rounding out their top 10 behind Alabama, Oklahoma, Boise State, Oregon, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, LSU, Texas A&M, and Georgia. With a strong showing in his first full season as the Head Football Coach, the number 1 recruiting class in the country, and all the buzz swirling in the college football atmosphere, it appears Jimbo Fishert and staff have the noles back in the conversation concerning the nations elite. But at the end of the day, talk is cheap, and only what you do on the field will reamain at the close of the season. P r e S e a s o n M a g a z i n e s R a n k N o l e s I n T o p 1 0 N e x t W e e k s F l o r i d a S t a r S p o r t s P a g e w i l l f e a t u r e a p r e v i e w o f F l o r i d a B l a c k C o l l e g e F o o t b a l l Florida State Quaterback E J Manuel Miami Heat Dancers Shown Above to give the Big 3 a break. Senior Josh Philpart already has set the single-season and career records in his first three years at Jacksonville. The wide out netted another accomplishment this offseason, earning a spot on The Sports Networks Football Championship Subdivisions Preseason Top-10 Receivers list and College Football Performance Awards wide receiver watch list. Philpart was an integral part of JUs high-octane passing attack, posting 12 touchdown catches as a junior. His 48 receptions were 20 more than the next closest teammate; racking up 800 receiving yards en route to claiming a first team all-conference spot for the second time in his career. At 6-1, 175 pounds, Philpart is a vertical threat that propelled a JU offense that led the FCS in scoring, averaging 42.2 points per game in 2010. Over the last two seasons, he has caught 25 touchdown passes and is the schools all-time leader in receiving yardage with 2,156 with one more season of eligibility remaining. Coach Kerwin Bell lauds Philpart's ability to run routes, The Sports Network wrote in its release. Philpart's best attribute might be his hands because he rarely drops a pass. A native of Deerfield Beach, Fla., Philpart also was named a top-10 wide receiver last season. As a sophomore in 2009, he set the school record for most receiving yards in a season (912) and receiving touchdowns (13) to earn unanimous first team all-Pioneer Football League honors. Philpart caught four-or-more passes in nine of JUs 11 games last season, leading the Dolphins to a 10-1 record and the second PFL championship in the programs history.

I think that might be the place Im going to be headed, said the 21-year-old Student Council vice president, referring to UC Berkeley, who is graduating with John Jay Colleges Class of 2011 magna cum laude with a 3.66 GPA, and will receive the Scholarship and Service Award, John Jays second highest graduation honor. Garvey was the 2010 winner of the prestigious Steamboat Scholarship and a recipient of John Jays Thurgood Marshall Scholarship. His expenses at Berkeley will be covered by two combined scholarships, one that will provide $30,000 a year and another $19,000 a year. But thats not the only reason Garvey is going to Berkeley. Im interested in family law, he said. Berkeley has a big pro bono program, one of the best in the country. Before committing to any type of law, however, Garvey served as a judicial intern at the Kings County, NY, District Attorneys Office, the New York State Office of the Attorney General, and at the Center for Court Innovation. I cant say for certain I want to do family law, but Ive interned at places to see what I like, what I dont like, and try to learn from there instead of just starting when I get to law school, he said. The 2011 commencement ceremony for John Jay College of Criminal Justice was held on Friday, June 3rd at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City. Shaunese with friends at her middle school dance.

JUNE 18, 2011THE STARPR 4 PREP RAP PREP RAP Youth Section Youth Section Florida Memorial University President Invests Close To $40,000 In Black Male High School Graduates History was made at Florida Memorial University (FMU) when the inaugural High School Black Male Baccalaureate Service was held May 21, 2011. The first of its kind held on a college campus in the U.S., the event, organized by FMUs Black Male College Explorers Program (BMCEP), celebrated the educational accomplishments of young black males who recently graduated from high school. FMU president, Dr. Henry Lewis, III, offered many honorees an unprecedented $2,000 scholarship to attend the university in the fall. You cannot build a university until you build the community, President Lewis commented. We are congratulating these gentlemen with this scholarship and encouraging them to come to FMU. Eric McWilliams, a graduating senior at Miami Central High School, responded to the presidents generosity with gratitude. I really appreciate what Florida Memorial University did for us black males, McWilliams shared. The $2,000 will definitely help towards my future. Local school board reports note only 23% of black male students graduate with a standard high school diploma. Aimed at committing the young men to a college education, honorees may be eligible for BMCEPs summer dual-enrollment program where attendees stay on campus and take college courses in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The program is a university-wide effort. Just graduating from high school sets these gentlemen apart from their peers, said Mildred Berry, Ph.D., dean of FMUs School of Education. They deserve our praise and encouragement. Kareem Coney, director of FMUs Black Male College Explorers Program and creator of the baccalaureate initiative, concluded the recognition was necessary. I thought it was incumbent of us as black men, at our institution in particular being the only historically black university in South Florida, to take the lead on this issue, he said. We want them to leave here today knowing that anything is possible. Set a goal, have a plan and achieve it.

Please note that in our observations, weekly reports show that African Americans DO NOT commit the largest percentage of criminal offenses in this ar ea. Man Found Guilty After Shooting Two OfficersRodney Newberry, 41, was approached by two officers, Ronald Bilyew and William Shrum, when they saw him walking on West 12th Street with an open beverage container. The officers stopped to ask Newberry if what he had was alcohol and he immediately started to run. They chased after him and tackled him down, where Newberry drew a gun and started firing. He fired nine shots, shooting Bilyew in the hand, and Shrum in the foot. Newberry managed to escape again, but Shrum reached for his own gun and fired at Newberry. He was shot in is lower back and continued to run. He was later found at his mothers house where the officers found packets of heroin and a handgun under the house. He is guilty of two counts of attempted murder, possession of heroin, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and carrying a concealed firearm. He now faces 25 years to life in prison. Rodney Newberry, 41, charged with two counts of attempted murder4 Suspects Arrested in Armed RobberiesFour suspects were arrested who have been involved in two convenience store robberies. They are Shuban Alberto, 18; Johntrell Calloway,19; Evans Perez, 19; and a juvenile. The first robbery took place at about 4 a.m. at a Kangaroo convenience store. The armed robbers approached the client, who was on the phone outside, with shotguns and a handgun. They forced him back into the store with a gun pointed at his head, demanding that he open up the cash register. They also had him lay on the ground while he was still on the phone. On the other line was someone who was at a different Kangaroo store, who took notice of the situation and called 911. Deputies arrived right away, but the robbers immediately drove off. There was another robbery the following week, which deputies believed were done by the same men from the previous robbery. Detective James Acres said that there was a moment where they took a womans purse to put in the money and the items that they just stolen. But the lady asked them to not take her purse and strangely, they emptied her purse and didnt take it. They left with $200 and 10 packs of cigarettes that day. Albertos arrest was made in connection to another burglary shortly thereafter, which aided in the arrests of Calloway,Perez, and also a juvenile. Shuban Alberto Johntrell Calloway Evans Perez Man Sentenced After Being Caught Sex Trafficking Tyrone King TycoonTownsend, 45, originally from New York, has been forcing women into prostitution. He was tracked down in Jacksonville where he was working his prostitution business. Townsend has been transporting women from state to state for prostitution, beating them and pimping them. He had each of them bring in a nightly quota of $1,000. His first victim was a 18-year-old runaway that he met in 2009 and another was a Canadian woman he met on an internet ad. Investigating began when an undercover cop from the JSOcaught and arrested the Canadian woman. She explained to him the situation she was in. This lead investigators to start to look into Townsends business and they even came across the many ads that he had up on the internet. A Garmin GPSsystem was used to lead them to Townsend, the same way his customers wouldve been lead, where he was arrested. Townsend is convicted of sex trafficking women into prostitution and is now sentenced to 26 1/2 years in prison. He will also receive 10 years of supervised release following his term

Box 40629, Jacksonville, FL 32203 In Your Neighborhood In Your Neighborhood Witness for Justice #532 June 13, 2011 Enough. Rev. Sala W.J. Nolan Gonzales Minister for Criminal Justice and Human Rights One out of every 32 adults in the United States is in prison or on probation or parole -a convicted criminal under judicial control. This does not account for the millions who have completed their sentences, but still live with employment restrictions, poverty and shame. How many is enough? With 5% of the worlds population, the US houses 25% of the worlds prisoners. But it makes no sense. Where incarceration rates have gone up, crime rates have not gone down. Where crime has gone down, so have incarceration rates. It costs as much to house a man in prison as it would cost to pay him a living wage, but by putting him behind bars, we lose his productivity and the tax base. Almost all women in prison are parents, most of very young children. When their grandmothers and friends cannot take them in, the children go into foster care. Our taxes pay for that, too. We are raising an entire generation of youth at extreme risk for incarceration. The losses are immense, at every level. The system is broken, and it is destroying the quality of our lives. I work with a woman who just spent four years in prison. She was a mail carrier and a mom. Five years ago, after a fight, her husband threw her out of the house. She had two beers with a friend and got in the car to find a place to stay. She had a wreck and hurt someone. When she went to prison, her sons lost their mother. The older one coped, but the younger one was left on a gravel road at 16 with a blanket and a backpack and nowhere to go, and has been homeless ever since. When he talks to her about it now, he cries. And she cries, because she wants to take care of him. She is resourceful, and she got a job. She travels three hours a day by bus to get there, where she works half a day for $7.50 an hour. The buspass costs $85 a month. She stays with a friend, who wants rent. She says, Deep down inside, I want to die. But I also want to live. I will help my sons to heal. That is my reason to live. Prisons are for serious and violent offenders, who should be held in secure facilities and monitored when they leave. But parole officers are being laid off, and those who remain are inundated with people convicted of minor crimes. This puts all of us at risk, and does not solve the problem. There are alternatives to prison -alternatives that would hold people accountable but keep them working and their families intact. Alternatives that would treat mental illness and substance abuse. Alternatives that would address the underlying issues and restore balance. Our prison system is broken. That is why Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) and 22 cosponsors reintroduced S306, the National Criminal Justice Commission Act, to conduct a thorough and scientific review of our justice system and how it can be repaired. Enough. It is time for justice to be restored. Suspect Sought in Bondsmen Shooting Turns Self in Frederick Walker, 31, was the man bondsmen were looking for before the tragic shooting that happened on May 24, 2011. Three bondsmen showed up that day to Walkers ex-girlfriends home in search of the suspect for a license plate violation and driving without a license. The bondsmen were masked and armed with guns, which led to a lot of confusion and miscommunication, resulting in a shooting between the bondsmen and the police. This incident costed the life of bondsman, Antonio Cooks, and left another bondsman injured. Some are blaming Walker for this tragic event, but he was nowhere to be found, until he unexpectedly turned himself in at the Jacksonvilles Sheriffs Office. Walker showed up with his attorney and surrendered. He is now in jail on failure to appear charges. Frederick Walker, 31, turns self in

Thieves Steal ACUnits From Church Five of the air conditioning units were reported stolen at the Church of the Good Samaritan in Middleburg. The amount of stolen properties estimates to almost $21,000. The warden of the church said that he is assuming the units are possibly being sold. Members of the church are not happy as they attend the church on a weekly basis. Some are angry and some have already forgiven them. The AC units are essential to the church since temperatures are rising. The church is looking toresolve the situation by replacing the units with insurance money before services on Sunday. There are currently no witnesses or potential suspects at all. 19-Year-Old Uses Pickaxe to Kill Father with Mothers HelpAs Fathers Day is just around the corner, It just so happens that something like this would happen. Guenevere Hudnall, 19, is alleged to already have plotted to murder her father, 51, with her mother, Stephanie. Police said that the reason behind it was for her fathers social security benefits and that both the daughter and the mother were unemployed with their trailer home in the process of going into foreclosure. As planned, Guenevere was dropped off at her fathers home by her mother, where the two of them talked for hours. She waited until he fell asleep and picked up a pickaxe from the porch, which she used to immediately start hacking at her father with. She repeatedly struck him in the head and chest multiple times. Hudnall started to make noise, but Guenevere continued to attack him until he was completely dead. Then she attempted to cover up the murder by making it seem like it was a break-in, by throwing mail on the floor. The next day, Guenevere and her mother returned to the house to call the police as a medical emergency about Hudnalls body. It became clear that he had been murdered and the daughter and mother were arrested a day later. Both are charged with premeditated murder and are being held on $1 million bond. Guenevere Hudnall Stephanie Hudnall Mother Sets 6-Year-Old Daughter on Fire in Voodoo Ritual New YorkMarie Lauradin, 29, pleaded guilty after setting her daughter, Frantzcia Saintil, 6, on fire. She told the police that she was cooking rice and carried the pot to move it when her daughter came from behind and hit her hand, causing her to spill boiling hot water all over her. She changed the story again when she was in court. She stated that her daughter was sick, so she rubbed her down with alcohol and a nearby candle fell on her, setting her on fire. Eventually, she admitted that she poured rum on her daughter and igniting her, where she performing a voodoo ritual known as Loa. 25 percent of Frantzcias body, including her face, was covered with second and third-degree burns. Lauradin was guilty of assault and now faces 17 years in prison. Man Fakes Death to Get Sex Change Stillwater, OklaWilliam Davis, along with his divorced wife, Heather Davis, have both been charged with false reporting of a crime in faking Williams death.The couple already lost custody of their underage daughter after she caught William having sex with a blow-up doll. Heather assisted William with his plan by first reporting to the police that she dropped him off at his favorite fishing spot, where he supposedly went missing hours later. The plan did not go as expected with the police and later Heather admitted that William planned to fake his death to get a sex change and start a new life as a woman. He wanted to come back with a new identity and hopefully be able to avoid all the warrants he already had. Heather said she did as he wanted because she wanted him out of her life. William turned himself in the next day after Heather was arrested. He lied at first saying that the reason he was missing was because he had been robbed, but later admitted the truth. Marie Lauradin Woman Hires Hitman on Facebook Philadelpia, PAAfter a heated argument, London Eley, 20, wanted someone to kill her ex-boyfriend, with whom she already had a daughter with. She was willing to pay $1,000 and used Facebook to post up her offer. Tim Bynum, 18, responded and talked with Eley for details. Bynum insisted Eley pay him the money first. He even sent her a picture of himself holding a gun. Eleys ex-boyfriend contacted authorities after his aunt came across the Facebook messages, which lead to the arrests of both Eley and Bynum later on. Lieutenant John Walker said,Its shocking that people are just so stupid. Eley was charged with conspiracy to commit murder and is being held on $250,000 bail. Bynum was charged with attempted murder and weapons charge and is being held on $350,000 bail. Couple Guilty on Felony Charges for Praying for Their Daughters Face Tumor Instead of Medical Attention Oregon City, ORChristian couple, Timothy and Rebecca Wyland, attend an unorthodox Christian church that shuns medicine. Their 2-year-old daughter, Alayna, had a tumor the size of a baseball over her left eye. Instead of seeking medical attention, they prayed for her and anointed her with oil. Authorities took notice after a county sheriffs deputy stopped by their house to make a welfare check, who immediately saw the bulge on babys face. The couple were aware that medical attention would solve the problem, but they both relied merely on faith and received support from their fellow church members.
