President Clinton presented the Robinson family with a framed sketch of the U. S. Mint's Jackie Robinson commemorative coin on April 15,
1997. The coins will be minted from July 1, 1997 to July 1, 1998 and are designed to embody the contributions Jackie Robinson made to
major league baseball and society. A portion of the sale of this coin is earmarked for the Jackie Robinson Foundation. The presentation was
made before the President attended the Mets v. Dodgers baseball game at Shea Stadium in honor of jackie Robinson. The game was held on
the 50th anniversary of Robinson's debut as the first African-American to play major league baseball. From left are Jackie Robinson's daughter

Dr. Jimmy Jenkins: EWC Is Alive; Recuperating
With an openness not seen or
experienced on the campus of Ed-
ward Waters Colleges in over a
decade, new EWC President Dr.
Jimmy Jenkins delivered what
many are calling a "State of The
College" message.
Before a gathering media rep-
resentatives on campus Monday,
May §, Jenkins declared "Edward
Waters is alive..."
Jenkins told the media that
though the historically black insti-
tution of higher learning is not yet
well, it is recuperating.
Jenkins said the College has
developed a plan to eliminate the
debt-- estimated at $2.6 million--
and put EWC on sound financial
footing by the end of the year.
Using display boards, etc.,
Jenkins revealed that over the past
two months EWC has raised at
least $575,000 for use toward re-
tiring the debt.
The debt includes $240,000 in
back-payroll taxes owed to the
Internal Revenue Service. The
debt is due on May 10 and will be
paid via a loan derived from other
funding sources at the College,
explained Jenkins.
EWC owes its faculty staff a
total of $920,305 (including IRS
debt and employee benefits).
As in past efforts, the staff
agreed to donate at least $120,000
of their back pay as matching
funds to a $100,000 contribution
from the Jesse Ball duPont Fund .
In awarding the funds to EWC,
the duPont Fund's Executive Di-
rector, Sherry Magill, challenged
the community to support the
College's fund raising efforts.
Magill added that "the entire
community will be diminished if
we allow Edward Waters College
to close, or to continue to lan-
guish."
Faculty and staff members be-
lieve that things are on the up-
swing at EWC. Since Jenkins took
over the leadership helm, faculty
and staff have received pay checks
in full and on time and the flow of
federal dollars is underway again.
The College's Board of Trust-
ees is also expected to assume a
$240,00 bank debt owed by EWC.
fhe debt, which reportedly
started to accumulate five years or
six years ago, include $482,576
owed to consultants; $302,188 to
vendors; $125,000 owed to federal
education officials for financial
aid due to the government;
$382,380 in loans and notes pay-
able: and $450,000 to improve
academic programs.
EWC plans to recruit at least
300 new students by the 1997 fall
semester.
I'he College must also submit
an application for a five-year re-
certification of federal aid pro-
grams by June 30.
These funds reportedly makes
up as much as 80 percent of
EWC's funding.

Bad Crack
Cocaine Sends
277 To Hospital
In Central Fla.
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) _
More than two dozen people have
been hospitalized in central
Florida after smoking toxic crack
cocaine.
At least 27 people were admit-
ted to Polk County hospitals be-
tween midnight Thursday and
Sunday morning, suffering from
elevated temperatures, hallucina-
tions, confusion and soaring heart
rates, police and hospital officials
said.
“They all tested positive for
cocaine and they all presented
with similar symptoms,†said
Elizabeth Foster, nursing supervi-
sor at Winter Haven hospital.
Some of the patients had heart
rates of up to 180 beats a minute,
Foster said. The normal rate is
about 80 beats a minute.
Police believe the victims were
poisoned by crack cocaine which
had either been laced with some
type of chemical or which con-
tained an unusually high concen-
tration of cocaine.
“This is obviously a bad batch
of crack,†said Polk County
sheriff's spokeswoman Sonya
Dodds.
“Normal crack is going to give |
you a brief, euphoric high for one
to two hours at most,†said Dr:
David Siegel, the emergency
room supervisor at Winter Haven
Hospital. “These people are com-
pletely out of it. They don’t know
where they are, they can’t remem-
ber their names.
“There is probably something
else in the crack cocaine which is

Suspect Nabbed In

Crime Spree
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ The
suspect in a crime spree that in-
cluded rape, kidnapping and one
slaying in this tourist-conscious
area was captured Monday after a
15-mile car chase.
James Sears Hartsock, 25, was
spotted in the small town of Holly
Hill driving a car stolen from a
woman who was abducted last
week and held captive for four
days, police said.
The woman, who was freed late
Sunday near downtown Orlando,
had positively identified her ab-
ductor as Hartsock, telling police
she saw his identification and that
he told her who he was.
“Why do criminals do the
things they do? Who knows, but
at least they get caught, thank
God,†said Orlando police spokes-
woman Cheryl DeGroff-Berry.
Orlando police headed to Holly
Hill, outside Daytona Beach about
45 miles northeast of Orlando, to

TO BE EQUAL
The Importance Of Diversity
I times of crisis, to paraphrase
that old saying, all that is needed
for injustice to triumph is for
people of good conscience to say
and do nothing.
No better example of the truth
of that adage exists than America's
long struggle with its conscience
and with its potential. For that's
what the struggle over inclusion--
over affirmative action--really is.
Will America live up to the great
insight of the Constitution that all
human beings deserve an unfet-
tered opportunity to achieve? Will
it give all of its citizens the chance
to participate in the society to the
best of their ability?
That great question has inten-
sified recently as the impact of
Proposition 209, the anti-affirma-
tive action initiative in California,
and the anti-affirmative action rul-
ing in the Hopwood case in Texas,
has become clearer: Already, ap-
plications from black and His-
panic students to both the Univer-
sity of California at Berkeley and
the University of Texas at Austin
have declined sharply. These in-
stitutions--and numerous others--
could see the number of black and
Hispanic students fall 1 to 2 per-
cent of the student body--the to-
ken levels of the early 1960s.
That prospect has promoted the
Association of American Univer-
sities, a consortium of 62 leading
research universities, to issue on
April 14 statement that is both an
appeal and an assertion.
"We speak first and foremost as
educators," their statement de-
clares. "We believe that our stu-
dents benefits significantly form
education that takes place within
a diverse setting. In the course of
their university education, our stu-
dents encounter and learn from
others who have backgrounds and
characteristics very different from
their own. As we seek to prepare
students for life in the twenty-first
century, the educational value of
such encounters will become more
important, not less, than in the
past.â€
The association's statement also
makes clear what practices they do
not endorse: "We do not advocate
admitting students who cannot
meet the criteria for admission to
our universities," they state un-
equivocally. "We do not endorse
quotas or 'set-asides' in admis-
sions."
"But," they continue, "we do
insist that we must able, as educa-
tors, to select those students--from
among many qualified applicants-
-who will best enable institutions
to fulfill their broad educational
purposes."
Further, the association state-
ment forthrightly put the
educators's intent to speak "also as
concerned citizens" whose insti-
tutions share the responsibility for
producing leaders to fill many dif-
ferent kinds of occupations and
serve all of the nation's different
communities.
To do that, their evaluation of
applicants for admission "cannot,
therefore, before based on a nar-
row or mainly "statistical’ defini-
tion of merit. The concept of merit
must take fully into account not
only academic grades and stan-
dardized test scores, but also the
many unquantifiable human quali-
ties and capacities of individuals,
including their promise for con-
tinuing future development."
"It must,†the statement said,
"include characteristics such as the
potential for leadership--espe-
cially the requirements for lead-
ership in a heterogenous demo-
cratic society such as ours."
Colin Powell made the same
point, appropriately, amid his
many =duties at the "Presidents"
Summit for America's Future.
"We've got to realize that the
revolution is not over," Gen. Pow-
ell said. "Color regrettably still
makes a difference in this coun-
try. We need the kind of programs
that break down barriers.
...And that's why affirmative
action is still so very information."
Both General Powell and the
leaders of Association of Ameri-
can Universities know that affir-
mative action is not unjust, and
that it is not merely an enforce-
ment device. It is a philosophy of
inclusion, and a mechanism for
meeting the compelling public in-
terest that justifies using race
among the factors--not as the over-
riding factor--in allocating oppor-
tunity among those who are quali-
fied.
In urging support for affirma-
tive action, the Association of
American Universities is telling
America that a true commitment
to an equal opportunity is not only
morally right but pragmatic--
America will not so well in the
economically challenging world
of the 21st Century with a society
that operates as it did in the early
1960s.
More than that, however, the
Association of American Univer-
sities is calling upon Americans to
forge a nation where equal oppor-
tunity exists in fact, not just in
rhetoric; to realize finally, the ideal
of American society so plainly--
and eloquently--put in the nation's
founding document: We holds
these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal."

CIVIL RIGHTS
Commission for Racial Justice
Sometimes European Ameri-
cans find it difficult to understand
the reaction by people of color to
events and believe that we over-
react or are a little paranoid. But
to really understand our reactions,
one must know the history of
people of color in this nation. For
example, one must know that
Japanese Americans were put in
concentration camps during World
War II. One must know of the
many treaty violations which have
been experienced by native
Americans. And one must know
of the Tuskegee syphilis study
undertaken by the federal govern-
ment using African American men
as its subjects.
Earlier this year four of the
eight living survivors of this ter-
rible experiment gathered at the
Shiloh Baptist Church in
Notasulga, AL to ask that Presi-
dent Clinton publicly apologize
for the government's actions in this
horrible study. The President has
indicated a willingness to do so.
"It is a peculiarly American
tragedy of race and medicine,"
said James H.Jones , author of a
1981 book on the Tuskegee study,
in a recent Washington Post story.
In 1932 the government began a
study on the treatment of syphilis
and lured 399 men, mostly poor
and uneducated African Ameri-
cans, to participate with the prom-
ise of free lunches, transportation
and medicine. The study followed
the progress of this dreaded dis-
ease in these men, some of whom
were told they were being treated,
but who actually were being pla-
The Legacy Of The Tuskegee Syphilis Study
cebos. This subjects were told that
they had "bad blood."
But the most horrible part of
this 40 year study is that even af-
ter penicillin was introduced as a
successful cure for syphilis in the
late 1940's, the study was contin-
ued until 1972 and only ended
then after it was exposed publicly.
Thus, men who could have been
treated successfully for this dis-
ease went untreated. "It essentially
reduced black men into unwitting
laboratory animals," said the
Washington Post story.
There is some evidence that
some of the researchers continued
the study based on the incredibly
racist belief that African Ameri-
can men would respond differ-
ently than European American
men. In addition, there is also evi-
dence that the government got lo-
cal Alabama doctors to cooperate
with them by agreeing not to treat
the Tuskegee subjects with anti-
biotics.
After the study's public expo-
sure, the federal government did
agree to pay to treat the Tuskegee
subjects with antibiotics. After the
study's public exposure, the fed-
eral government did agree to pay
$10 million in compensation to the
victims and their families, but it
never apologized for one of the
most blatant examples of racism
in our nation's history. It is that
apology that the survivors and
their families now seek. The sur-
vivors and their families now seek.
The survivors themselves range
from 87-109 years of age and there

are 23 wives, 15 children and 2
grandchildren whose families
have suffered because of this
study. -
While the suffering of the fami-
lies is very real, the impact of this
horrible study is far greater than
those 399 families. As African
Americans become aware of this
government study, many now liv-
ing with HIV and AIDS have re-
fused treatment, actually citing the
Tuskegee experiment as their pri-
mary reason. Some believe that it
has also led some African Ameri-
cans to charge that AIDS itself is
an outgrowth of an government
experiment. There is a hesitancy
of the legacy of the Tuskegee ex-
periment.
An apology by the President for
the actions of the federal govern-
ment in this terrible experiment
will be welcomed by many. It
won't make this suspicions of the
government go away, but it prob-
ably will be the first time many
European Americans are even
aware of this horrible legacy. And
maybe it will help ensure that this
never happens again.

To commemorate Older Americans’ Month, the staff of Tavlor Resi-
dences held a birthday party for local centenarians. The theme, "Pow-
ered by the Heart" was developed by the American Association of
Homes and Services for the aging of which Taylor Residences is a
member. On Saturday May 3rd over fifty honorees assembled, whether
they were residents of Tavlor Manor or not. The plan was to salute all
centenarians. James T. Rice, CEO of Taylor Residences welcomed
everyone and "Melody Masters" Joe Boyd and Jack Hoffman provided
great music from the younger vears of the honorees. Jon Gulley and
Kathleen Wilkes-Pierce prompted some of the centenarian to share
their reminiscences with the guest-- which they did with great "Gusto."
One of the ladies who talked about some of her experiences was Mrs.
Ruth Stewart who was accompanied by her daughter Saramae
Richardson and their friend Alice Grant. Mrs. Consuelo Jackson was
not a speaker but she also enjoved the party. Her daughter Connie
Jackson had brought her.
Taylor Manor administrator Hallie Bailey acknowledged the con-
tributions of all the "interested" seniors and also introduced two no-
table guests Congresswoman Corrine Brown and City Councilwoman
Alberta Hipps. Although actual birthdates extended during the entire
year the celebration was just as lively as if each was celebrating that
day, "Happy Birthday" and "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" were sung
and Birthday Cake and Punch were served.
It was a wonderful afternoon for all of the honorees!

commemorate the 93rd birthday celebration of Jacksonville pioneer
and entrepreneur, Beatrice Davis. On that special day. she was fea-
tured on Good Morning Jacksonville, she received long distance calls
and numerous floral deliveries, cards and gifts from friends. Her bed-
room was festively decorated with Happy Birthday signs placed by
daughter Bessie D. Fitzgerald of Palm Beach County. Fla. A button
on the door stated, "I Feel 21, Until I Start to Run.†What started out
as a quiet celebration due to her illness. grew as the day progressed. It
started with a visit from her nurse whom Mrs. Davis refers to as the
best nurse one could have. She. received birthday communications
from President and Mrs. Clinton, Governor Lawton Chiles and Mayor
John Delaney. A highlight of the day occurred when the grandchil-
dren of Florence Rush White showed up, all five of them to sing Happy
Birthday. They also presented the honoree a "Distinguished Neighbor
Award" for being the eldest resident and the longest residing in the
neighborhood. These young singers where Janay Geddes. Milton
Geddes, Jr., Christopher Mathis, Mario Williams, Takesha Williams
and Shaniqua Jenkins. Later members of the Deaconess Board of
Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church surprised "Mother Davis" as
she is affectionately called, with a gift of flowers and a delicious re
pass. This group included: Effie Hagan: Elizabeth Hull; Betty Harris:
Mae Harvey; Dorothy Roberts; Gloria Best; Lucille Simmons and
Thelma Hart. Longtime friend Jane Winn of Orange Park came with
a gift also as did relatives from Fernandina Beach, Fla.
For a day that was not officially a planned thing, it turned out a
great day filled with love and Kindness. As Mrs. Davis looks forward
to "Birthday 94" she says "I have my memories and I'm just grateful to
God for the blessings bestowed all of these years.â€
It was a beautiful day!

Most of us have asked the same question as Jeremiah in his
lamentation to the Lord. We hear and read of cnme., corruption
and the dishonesty of men who seemingly go untouched by the
laws of God or man. Many of those pose behind the facade of
pillars of society or upholders of the common good How. we
ask, can such people prosper without some retnbution†Yet
there is retnbuuon, although it may not be evident. In their
hearts, such people know they are doing wrong, they are susp:

ever power or wealth they control Even greater may be the
know ledge that though they outwit man’s jusnce. they cannot
win against God's final mbunal. Who needs such prospenty’

Electric Car
(Continued From Cover)
Last year's entry was one of only two designed and built by high school students.
The other four or five entries were made by community college or university stu-
dents and by private individuals. .
Even the selection of student Philip Barnett as the driver was based on calcula-
tions -- his size and weight. .
Schultz anticipates a field of approximately 10 entries this year, including only
one or two built by high school students.
. The "race" actually is a contest to see which car can go the longest distance in an
hour, making it a combination of speed and time.
Last year, Parker's entry experienced "mechanical failure" that retired it from com-
petition early.
In a recent trial run on the driver ed track at Parker High School, the students’ car
managed to maintain an average of approximately 17 miles an hour for 40 minutes
before experiencing the electrical equivalent of "running out of gas."
Last year's winning car in Orlando averaged exactly that same speed, but for the
entire hour.
Said a smiling Schultz: "We expect to be ready, but we've obviously got some
more work to do."

Landmark Student Named
“An All-American Scholar
The United States Achievement Academy has announced that Dolly Chant’ ae
Penn has been named an All-American Scholar.
The USAA has established the All-American Scholar Award Program to offer
deserved recognition to superior students who excel in the academic disciplines.
The All-American Scholars must earn a 3.3, or higher, grade point average.
Only scholars selected by a school instructor, counselor, or other qualified spon-
sor are accepted.
These scholars are also eligible for other awards given by the USAA.
Dolly, who attends Landmark Middle School in Jacksonville, was nominated for
this national award by Mrs. R. Folk.
Dolly will appear in the All-American Scholar Yearbook, which is published na-
tionally.
"Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before in
America's history. Certainly, winners of the All-American Scholar Awards should
be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement,"
said Dr. George Stevens, Executive Director of the United States Achievement Acad-
emy.
The Academy selects All-American Scholars upon exclusive recommendation by
teachers, coaches, counselors, and other qualified sponsors. Once awarded, the stu-
dent may be recognized by the USAA for other honors.
Dolly is the daughter of James and Gloria Penn of Jacksonville. Her grandparents
are Andrew and Dolly Jackson also Jacksonville and Willie and Pauline Penn (both
deceased).

The students, in grades 1-6, now compete for the title of National Grade Level
Champion and Grand National Champion.
Florida State Champions are: First-grader William Knowles, Nativity School in
Hollywood; second-grader Isabel Hanes, St. Thomas The Apostle School in Miami;
third-grader Sarah Dyess, The King's Academy in West Palm Beach: fourth-grader
Ashley Legaspi, Sacred Heart School in Jacksonville; fifth-grader Ashleigh
Michelle Whitman, Victory Christian Academy in Winter Park; and sixth-grader
Mark De Jesus, The King's Academy in West Palm Beach.
The State Champions now go on to compete for the coveted National Handwriting
Championship. Six National Grade Level Champions (one each in grades 1-6) will
be announced in a few weeks. Then one Grand National Champion will be selected
from this group.
All National Grade level Champions win a $500 U. S. savings bond along with
many other prizes.
The Grand National Champion wins a total of $1,000 in U. S. savings bonds.
Additional prizes will be awarded to the champions’ teachers and schools.
The six Florida students competed against more than 100,000 students from around
the country.
Zaner-Bloster's Master Penman, Dr. Clinton Hackney, now has the difficult task
of selecting the six National Grade Level Champions and one Grand National Cham-
pion.
Zaner-Boser and Parker Pen sponsor the National Handwriting Contest to empha-
size the importance of good handwriting.
"Teachers tell us the contest motivates students to do their best work," says Rich-
ard Northup, Vice President of Marketing for Zaner-Bloser.
"The extra effort really pays off for the students, because handwriting is a vital
skill they'll use for a lifetime," he adds.
Christophe Van Riet of Parker Pen cites studies showing problems poor handwrit-
ing causes in the business world. "Despite high-tech communication devices, every
business still depends on pens and paper," Van Riet says. "So we want to encourage
students to develop good handwriting."

Q: I have tried over and
over to understand all the
words in the theme song to
All in the Family, but with the
way Edith and Archie sing,
it’s very difficult. What are
the last few words in the sec-
ond-to-last line, just before
“those were the days� It
sounds like “sour grapes,â€
but it can’t be. —Janet in
Cleveland.
A: Don’t be too hard on Fam-
ily stars Jean Stapleton and
Carroll O'Connor, who went so
far as to redo their performance
of the opening song in hopes of
making this stubborn line more
comprehensible.
Despite that, most people still
don’t realize that they're sing-
ing, “Gee, our old LaSalle ran
great.â€
born. You may have been
right with The Blue Bird, but
a second choice could have
been Made in Heaven, star-
ring Kelly McGillis and Tim-
othy Hutton. Could the two
films be related? —-Louise
Rohrbaugh via e-mail.
A: Several readers wrote to
remind me about Made in
Heaven, but you, Louise, were
the only one who considered
the possibility that either film
could be correct.
Given the complete informa-
tion the reader provided in the
letter she submitted, she clearly
was looking for The Blue Bird,
starring Shirley Temple. I re-
moved some of those particu-
lars when editing the letter for
publication.
To those readers who were
confused and thought I had
identified the wrong movie for
this reader, I'm happy to clear
this up.
Q: Is ABC reporter Debo-
rah Roberts married to Al
Roker of NBC's Today show
or Mark McEwen of CBS’
This Morning? -C.W., San
Angelo, Texas.
A: Roberts is married to Ro-
ker.
Q: Has the soap The City
been canceled? I can’t find it
anywhere in my area. -K.K.
via e-mail.
A: Yes, the low-rated soap, an
attempt to salvage Loving, has
been canceled. In most mar-
kets, the new soap Port Charles
will’ move into the former Ciry
slot on June 2, following a
prime-time launch the previous
night.
Q: I loved to watch TV cow-
boys as a kid in the "50s. One
was Sugarfoot with Will
Hutchens; another was Clint
Walker in Cheyenne. What
was the series starring Ty
Hardin? —Robert Rhode via
e-mail.
A: Hardin's series, Bronco,
ran on ABC from September
1958 to August 1962.

Local Poet And Author
Honored By Sorority
At Regional Conference
Betty J. Sessions
A Jacksonville poet and author
was one of two writers honored at
the South Atlantic Regional Con-
ference of Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority, Inc. held in Greenville,
S.C., April 23-27.
Bettye J. Sessions was ac-
knowledged during the second
general session of the conference
on Friday afternoon as part of the
sorority's ongoing encouragement
of and focus on art and the artist.
Mrs. Session read for the audi-
ence her poem "A Soror is" which.
she wrote as a tribute to her Alpha
Kappa Alpha sisters.
The author explained that her
inspiration for writing came from
three sources: James Weldon
Johnson, a Jacksonville native,
poet, songwriter, author of the
early 20th century; Mrs. Daisy S.
Duncan, her high school English
teacher who recited poetry to her
classes: and William Shakespeare,
poet and playwright of 17th cen-
tury England. Following the ses-
sion was a book signing for the
authors.
Mrs. Sessions began her profes-
sional writing career in 1981 as a
news correspondent for the Jack-
sonville Journal newspaper.
While working at the journal from
1981-86, she wrote some 300
news stories covering people and
events on Jacksonville's
Northside. She published her first
book of poetry Character Pieces
and Bits of Me in 1985.
Mrs. Sessions has written and
published five other books:
Rhythms of My Heart, poetry and
essays (1991), A Woman From
Charleston, The Life of Arnolta
Johnston Williams-Mama Will-
iams, (1991), Let The Words Of
My Mouth-An African American
Speaking Out, a collection of her
speeches and lectures (1995), A
Charge To Keep, the story of
Brewster Hospital and Brewster
Hospital School of Nursing
(1996), and Deep, a book of po-
etry dedicated to the memory of
her son Byron Craig Sessions
(1997).
Mrs. Sessions is a retired pro-
fessor of humanities from Florida
Community College at Jackson-
ville. In 1994 FCCJ named a
scholarship for her to be given to
a FAME student. FAME is a pro-
gram Mrs. Sessions, Prof.
Geraldine Smith and Prof. Linda
Barnes designed and out into op-
eration at the college in 1984 to
inform minority high school stu-
dents about college and encourage
them to enroll. The program has
won several awards asa success-
ful model program. The program
completed its 13th year this spring.
Lydia Lewis Alexander, one of
the four authors of the recently
published book Wearing Purple by
Harmony Books, ‘a division of
Crown Publishers, Inc. and Ran-
dom House, Inc., was the other
author honored along with Ses-
sions.

Creator Of Game Wants To Help
Youth Climb Corporate Ladder
a |
The Corporate ladder board game (left) created by Anthony M. Anderson can be purchased in stores in Louisiana and the Dallas, Texas area.
The public can order them locally through Anderson (right frame) who is now taking the game to television as a game show.
The creator of an innovative new board game called Corporate Lad-
der is taking his game from department store shelves to television
screens all across America.
Anthony Anderson, a native of Algiers, La. created the Corporate
Ladder board game to focus on America's business and corporate struc-
ture and to heighten the imaginations of youth in an effort to encour-
age them to dream.
Anderson, 33, who lives in the Jacksonville area, has Corporate
Ladder board games for sale in stores in Louisiana and the Dallas,
Texas area. He now envisions a bigger picture for the game. He's
currently producing The Corporate Ladder Game Show for airing on
television. Anderson has already sent bids to Continental Cablevision.
Anderson says The Corporate Ladder Game Show has a winning
format and is not a sitcom, a variety show, nor a stand-up comedy
show or just another game show. Most of all, he assures, the show is
family oriented.
"Each show is an inspired scramblé of monologues and sketches
shot before a live audience. The different personalities of the contes-
tants will make the game show hilarious. Fans, teachers, parents and
business people will tune in week after week to see the exciting fast
pace, power struggle, of an entertaining and educational game show.â€
explained Anderson.
Anderson says that each week, the Corporate Ladder Game
Showwill serve up a wacky brand of power struggle with entertaining
"Our game was designed to introduce people to the corporate struc-
ture, enhance their academic skills, and motivate students to work hard.
Corporate Ladder makes learning fun and challenging. We want to
generate interest in young people to learn decision making, strategic
planning and execution, which enhances their self-esteem," added
Anderson.
Anderson believes teachers and parents can observe the various per-
sonalities of their students and teachers. He says the game may also
help them enrich their lives by developing those who are easily ma-
nipulated "followers", into those who are the ambitious "leaders". The
game is specifically designed for the game industry, educational areas,
and for anyone who wants to have fun
The Corporate Ladder taped a few shows at the Gateway Market-
place in Jacksonville. Anderson is currently on a statewide Corporate
Ladder tour. "We are visiting schools, colleges, and youth organiza-
tions. My goal is to motivate your students to work hard, create dreams,
and set goals for themselves," said Anderson.
Anderson said that due to the ever-increasing number of school
dropouts he attempted, through Corporate Ladder, to create an instru-
ment that will encourage understanding and participation in business
and/or business study. Anderson adds that in today's changing giobal
economy, youths now have business opportunities others could only
dream of. "Corporate Ladder is educational and entertaining, and if
learning is fun, youngsters are more apt to succeed," assured Ander-
and educational humor that has appeal to a variety of viewers.

The mailing marks the largest

The cards, which include de-

abductor, Clifford Allen Newman,
along with the toll-free number for
the National Center for Missing

distributed as a public service by
ADVO at the request of the Na-

to look for Louis’ picture in their
mailbox and to call the National
Center's hotline with any informa-

Brenda Riggins, MARs vice president, presents an appreciation plaque to Bob Hoel, Brown & Root operations manager for South Florida
projects. MARS won its first job five years ago from Brown & Root for cleanup assistance following Hurricane Andrew. Today, MARS celebrates

Plumbing Company Celebrates Success
MIAMI, FL--Five years ago as
Florida struggled to recover from
one of nature's most devastating
hurricanes, Marcus and brenda
Riggins faced a personal chal-
lenge--building a company up
from ground zero.
Their break came when Brown
& Root, a global engineering and
construction company, awarded
the Riggins a $13,000 contract to
provide utility connections to their
office trailers in town. Brown &
Root was under contract to the U.
S. Army Corps of Engineers to
hire and manage local subcontrac-
tors for the cleanup efforts follow-
ing Hurricane Andrew.
"Brown & Rook took a chance
on us," says Brenda Riggins, vice
president and administrator of
MARs Plumbing & Mechanica,
Inc. "We didn't drive up in pretty
trucks or have matching uniforms
like some of the other subcontrac-
tors who bid for work, but Brown
& Root still gave us a chance.â€
Since that first contract, MARs
has secured more than $4 million
in plumbing contracts and recently
was named one of the top 10 Black
Businesses in 1996 by the Miami-
Dade Chamber of Commerce. In
addition, the company is a finalist
for the Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerce "Black Business of the
Year" award.
In appreciation for its "first
break," MARS recognized Brown
& Root with an appreciation
plaque during ceremonies held at
company offices. Accepting the
plaque were Bob Hoel, operations
manager for South Florida
projects, and Alan Undheim, sub-
contracts.administrator.
"Brown & Root's success on
any job depends on its subcon-
tracts," says Undheim. "MARs'
performance on its first job was
excellent, which led to subsequent
opportunities.â€
MARs started with few re-
sources and little financial back-
ing.
Marcus Riggins, president and
CEO, explains that this equipment
was lost to the storm and he had a
difficult time obtaining financial
assistance. With a $5,000 loan
from a family member and the
contract from Brown & Root,
MARS got the break it needed.
Since then, the company has won
six-figure contracts including
work for the Miami International
Airport Hotel, the Jackson Memo-
rial Hospital and Crandon Park
Marina.
While the presentation cer-
emony celebrate five successful
years of business, the Riggins

Blind Vendors Kicked
Out Of Retirement
System Suing State
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) _
Blind vendors who run concession
stands in state and federal build-
ings are suing for more than $3
million they say the state illegally
withheld from their profits over
two decades.
Tallahassee attorney Edward S.
Statman is asking Leon Circuit
Judge William L. Gary to make
the suit a class action on behalf of
nearly 1,000 current and former
blind vendors.
State attorneys have asked the
judge to dismiss the suit, and he
has scheduled a hearing June 23
on that motion.
The court action is an offshoot
of a larger dispute over how much
help the blind businesses should
get from the state. Until late last
year, they were treated similarly
to state employees in many ways.
The state program went along
with 60-year-old tederal law that
gives the blind priority for food
service contracts with federal
agencies.
Over the past two years, how-
ever, the state Division of Blind
Services has been involved in
steps to take state building snack
bar employees out of the state's
retirement system and have pri-
vate companies run the conces-
sions. The state ended subsidies
for the concession operators in
December.
That ended a major employ-
ment opportunity for young blind
people. said Tony Laird, manager
of a blind services snack bar at the
state Capitol.
The unemployment rate among
the blind is 74 percent, higher than
any other disabled group.
Experienced vendors can take
up the slack and survive without
the state help, which included as-
sistance with accounting and pa-
perwork, Laird said.
Younger people trying to get a
start will have a tough time with-
out that helping hand.
“A lot of newcomers are not
going to make it,†said Laird.
The blind vendors also were
part of the state employees’ retire-
ment system until last year, and
that is the source of Stafman’s
lawsuit against the state Division
of Retirement and Division of
Blind Services.
Until last year, the state col-
lected monthly proceeds from
vendors, paid necessary taxes,
filed paperwork and mailed the
vendors a check.
But critical audits in 1994 said
the state was using some of the
money to help pay the vendors’
retirement benefits, and did not
get their permission to do so as
federal law. required.
In a vote on the practice of
withholding retirement money in
1996, the vendory rejected it.
Every other state employee has
retirement benefits fully paid by
state government, Stafman said.
Lawmakers responded by pass-
ing a 1996 law barring future ven
dors from joining the retirement
system and requiring current ones
to fully pay for their participation
by kicking in 17.5 percent of their
income.
Many have dropped out of the
retirement system because they
couldn't afford the bite out of their
profits.
“It’s sad when the Legislature
needs to balance its budget on the
backs of hard-working blind
people,†said Statman.
He said the problem arose be-
cause over the years, lawmakers
routinely failed to appropriate
enough money to pay for the blind
vendors’ retirement benefits.
So state officials used money
from the vendors profits to cover
the shortfall.
“Every year they were short by
substantial amounts. They said we
can basically pick the pocket of
these blind vendors,†Stafman
said.
More than $3 million was with-
held from concession stand and
vending machine profits between
1975 and 1996, the lawsuit
charges.
“It became like a marauding
bear that gets fed by people in a
park. They kept coming back for
more,†Statman said.
Officials of the Department of
Labor and Employment Security,
which includes blind services,
would not comment on the pend-
ing court action, said spokes-
woman Renee Watters.
The state’s motion to dismiss
argued, among other things, that
the vendors were not entitled to
seek refunds going back as far as
20 years, and should have filed a
claim with the Division of Retire-
ment rather than filing a lawsuit,
Assistant Attorney General
Jeffery Dickman said.
Court-Martial Starts
For Colonel Accused
of Sexual Harrassment
HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AP)
_ Former Air Force Capt. Lisa
Saturno says she didn’t know
what to do or say when her com-
manding officer made an un-
wanted sexual advance that she
contends included fondling and
kissing her breast.
Rauhecker is one of the high-
est ranking Air Force officers to
be tried on sexual harassment
charges. His court-martial was to
continue today with the defense
cross examining Ms. Saturno,
who resigned last year after mak-
ing the accusations.
Rauhecker also is facing lesser
allegations involving two other
women at this Florida Panhandle
base.
Ms. Saturno, who is married,
told a panel of eight senior offic-
ers-- seven men and one woman-
- that she felt sorry for Rauhecker
because he was having marital
problems. His wife, now divorced
from him, did not accompany him
to Hurlburt.

Zora Neale Hurston
Playscripts Found In
Library Of Congress
Little-known copies of type-
scripts of four sketches and six
plays by Zora Neale Hurston have
been identified through a recent
search of old copyright records
and are available to researchers at
the Library of Congress.
Between 1925 and 1944. the
author deposited these carbon
typescripts for copyright protec-
tion as unpublished dramas, and
the Library retained them. A 1992
finding aid for nonbook Hurston
materials in the Library of Con-
gress had not included the copy-
right deposit drama collection as
a source for extant Hurston
SCripts.
The sketches and three of the
full-length plays appear to be un-
published and not widely known.
! The three other full-length plays
are either known from other cop-
ies in outside repositories or were
published or adapted in 1991. A
* bibliographical list (published in
1989 by Kathy Perkins) of known
Hurston plays included all of the
titles, but did not identify the
copyright deposit copies and the
Library of Congress location for
their texts. The complete works
of Zora Neale Hurston
(HarperCollins, seven volumes;
Henry Louis Gates, general edi-
tor) are scheduled to include a
volume of her plays.
One of the short works isan 11-
page dialect sketch called Woof-
ing. It depicts a 1931 Georgia
street scene with lively and witty
dialogue illustrating African
American rural life of the period.
The other, even shorter, 1931
sketches are Poker, Forty Yards
and Lawing and Jawing. Two of
the full-length plays found were
registered for copyright in 1930:
Cold Keener, a revue, and De Tur
kev and De Law, a comedy in three
acts. Both of these and the
sketches are in the custody of the
Manuscript Divison. A third
script, Meet the Mamma, is a 1925
libretto for a musical play and is
in custody of the Music Division.
None of the copyrights for the
above works had been renewed
during the appropriate year.
Other Hurston plays perhaps
known in some form to scholars
and recorded as deposited in type-
script with the Library are: Polk
County (1944) in custody of the
Rare Book and Special Collec-
tions Division; Spunk (1935),
adapted and published in 1991;
and Mule-bone (1931), registered
by co-author Langston Hughes
and published in 1991 with a
record of his collaboration with
Hurston.
Zora Neale Hurston
The 1900 census records have
established that Hurston was born
January 7, 1891, not 1903, as mis-
takenly listed in several other
sources, and she died January 28,
1960. Eatonville, Florida, the in-
black town in
America, was her home and pro-
corporated
vided the inspiration to preserve
her culture inmany forms. Even-
tually she became a novelist, folk-
lorist, dramatist and and teacher
and is only recently coming into
her own light.
She won a scholarship to
Barnard College and studied with
the anthropologist Franz Boas and
Carter G. Woodson, earning her
A.B. degree from Columbia Uni-
versity. She did folklore studies
in the South in the late 1920s and
made folk recordings there with
Alan Lomax in 1935-1939. Al
though she is best known for her
novels, Their Eyes Were Watching
God (1937) and Moses: Man of
the Mountain (1939), she also
published the folklore collections,
Mules and Men (1935) and Tell
My Horse (1938). One scholar,
however, has estimated that
Hurston wrote at least 20 plays
betwen 1930 and 1935, and Linda
Marion Hill (Social Rituals and
the Verbal Art of Zora Neale,
Howard University Press, 1996)
considers the drama and perform-
ing arts to be Hurston's favored
vehicle for transmitting cultural
knowledge.
In the 1930s Hurston aimed at
commercial Broadway success
with her plays and saw short runs
of some of her revues and skits in
New York City and Chicago and
in Orlando and Winter Park, Fla.
Her production of In the Begin-
ning, The Great Day (later titled
The Great Day) opened on Broad-
way and was performed at the
New School. Like several of the
plays in the Library of Congress
group, this was a performance of
vignettes depicting the songs,
dances and lore of African Ameri-
cans and showcased her folklore
collection. The several other titles
and versions of this revue suggest
that some of the Library of Con-
gress plays may have been used
as components in later produc-
tions under other names. For ex-
ample, her skit The Court Room,
which appeared in a 1931 New
York City commercial venture,
Fast and Furious, may be related
to the Library of Congress script
for the sketch titled Lawing and
Jawing, which is about a corrupt
judge. Similarly, the "Jook" sec-
tion of the revue Cold Keener is
known to scholars in other forms.
Unable to earn a living as play-
wright or director, Hurston even-
tually turned to college teaching
at North Carolina Central, where
she pursued her interests in black
theater and collaborated with Paul
Green among others.
The major repositories for Zora
Neale Hurston manuscript mate-
rials are the Beinecke Library,
Yale University; the University of
Florida; the Schomburg Center of
New York Public Library; the
American Philosophical Society;
and the Unviersity of Texas.
The Library of Congress Manu-
script Division also holds Hurston
materials in the following collec-
tions: Margaret Mead; NAACP;
Lawrence Spivak; WPA Federal
Writers' Project; Carter Woodson
(microfilm); Countee Cullen (mi-

Larry Bird Says Indiana Pacers
Have Made Him A 'Great' Offer
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Larry
Bird could decide early this week
whether he will accept a “great
offer†to be the next coach of the
Indiana Pacers, according to
newspaper reports.
The Indianapolis Star and
News and Boston newspapers re-
ported Bird also was mulling an
offer from the Boston Celtics to
become either their coach or to
take another position with the
franchise with which he starred 13
years as a player.
Bird, now a consultant for the
Celtics, was quoted Saturday as
saying if he left that team, it would
to be to join the Pacers.
“Indiana has made me a good
offer-- no. a great offer,†Bird
told The Boston Globe. “I've
known the owners since college,
through mutual friends. and I have
great respect for Donnie Walsh.
We are definitely talking. and if I
decide to do something (other than
remain with the Celtics
capacity). it w
there.â€
Bird, from French Lick, Ind.,
took Indiana State to the 1979
NCAA championship game. He
now resides in Naples, Fla.
Walsh, the Pacers president,

end to discuss the job offer. He

Bill Would Assume
Discrimination
Based On Football
Team Makeup
AUSTIN (AP) _ Something's
wrong when the percentage of
minorities on a university's foot-
ball team is greater than that of the
school’s minority student popula-
tion, Rep. Harold Dutton says.
The Houston Democrat on
Tuesday urged a House commit-
tee to approve his bill establish-
ing a legal presumption regarding
minority enrollment at state col-
leges and universities with foot-
ball teams.
The bill says a school’s football
team shouldn’t have a makeup of
blacks, Hispanics or other racial
groups in excess of 10 percentage
points above those groups’ enroll-
ment in the overall student popu-
lation.
If one of those racial groups
exceeded the percentage gap, the
school would be presumed to have
discriminated against a minority
from that group who wasn’t ac-
cepted for enrollment.
For example, a school who's
football team had 20 percent black
athletes would be presumed to
have discriminated against a re-
jected black applicant if the
school’s overall black student
population was less than 11 per-
cent.
“I find it curious when we have
all white universities that have all
black football teams,†Dutton
said. “I hope it wakes people up
to the whole issue.â€
Dutton said he’s not sure of the

Parents Must take An Active Role In Immunizations
By Dr. David Satcher
Specialto the NNPA
Your two-year-old has had a
persistent cough and runny nose.
After a couple weeks, you decide
to take him to the pediatrician to
make certain there is nothing more
serious going on. At the end of the
visit, the doctor prescribes antibi-
otics for the child's symptoms and
you're happily on your way, feel-
ing that you've done your job as a
parent.
Could you have overlooked
something? If you didn't ask the
doctor about your child's immu-
nizations status, them the answer
is yes. Timely immunizations are
critical to all of our children, for
getting them off to a healthy start
in life. And for African Americans
and others on a variety of fronts--
from cancer to diabetes to stroke
to heart disease.
As a parent, you must seize ev-
ery opportunity to make sure your
children are caught up on their
shots. If childhood immunization
rates are going to continue to go
up--thus protecting our youngsters
against crippling diseases--more
parents must involved. No parent
can assume that someone else--
even a medical professional--is
keeping constant watch over your
child's immunization status.
It means educating yourself
about the immunization process.
It means keeping your own record
of what shots your child has and
when, and comparing it with your
doctor's. It means asking the doc-
tor on every Visit-- every visit--
even if the primary purpose for the
visit is to treat a badly scraped
The difference between your
child contracting one these dis-
eases and being healthy is about
12 to 16 vaccine doses by age two.
These shots can be obtained in
about five doctor's visits.
My job as Director of the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention is to see that immuniza-
tions are made available and that
they are safe and effective. We
want to ensure that by the year
2000, at least 90 percent of all two-
year-olds have the full series of
vaccines, and we'll need the help
of parents to achieve that goal. |
cannot walk you and your child
down to the clinic or to your doc-
tor to get these shots, but I can, as
a government policymaker, make
it easier for you to do your paren-
tal duty.
Working with President Clinton
and Health and Human Services
Secretary Donna E. Shalala, we've
doubled government funding for
immunization in the past four
years. We've helping communities
keep clinics open longer, helping
to get free vaccines for uninsured
children in every state, monitor-
ing vaccine-preventable disease to
make sure they don't return. and
we're doing a better job of public
education. We've also supporting
new research that would reduce
the number of shots our children
have to take.
But no matter what we do as
government, ultimately, you as
parents and caregivers must take
action, for your family and you're
child's future.
There's an old African proverb
that says: "If you love the children
of others, you will love your own
even better."
Beyond any statistics, any ar-
gument or even a plea from me,
childhood immunization are about
the love you have for other Afri-
can-American children and your
own child. Show that love today.
Make certain your child is on
schedule for his or her shots.

but it's always a good time to re-
mind all parents just how critical
immunizations are to children's
health. It's about the health of en-
tire communities. A dispropor-
tionate number of children who
are not immunized are African
American. Why get our children
off to a bad start on health when
at birth, as African Americans,
they are already facing greater
risks for a variety of diseases later
in life? Dr. King often quoted Dr.
Benjamin Mays in saying." He
who starts behind in the race must
forever remain behind or run faster
than the man in front." And chil-
dren who are not immunized will

how strongly I feel about the above
statement. However, many people
get quite upset regarding my ideas
on this issue. The usual comments
that I hear, in opposition to my
ideas, are: " My parents beat me
and I am going to continue to beat
my children.†The only way you
make children obey is to beat
them." " My parents beat me and
made me a better person." " The
Bible says ' Spare the rod and spoil

spank my child. There is nothing
wrong with spanking." ( Note:
spanking and beating are essen-
tially the same.) These remarks
only scratch the surface. Some
people are so passionately in fa-
vor of beating children that it is
frightening. Yet they seem un-
aware of the following:
1) One of the major causes of
violence in society is the many
parents who use violence to raise
their children and whose children
use the same method to relate to
others in society.
2) Many parents feel the need
to control their children and force
them to obey.
3) Most parents know of no al-
ternative way to raise children.
they believe that they are blessed
by God with an inherit ability to
raise children. Yet, they would be
furious if their spouse, boss,
friend, child or stranger were to
use the same behavior with them.
4) Some parents beat their chil-
dren as a means of getting rid of
their own stress and insecurity.
5) Many parents have used vio-
lence in their homes for so many
years that they believe that no other
method will work. They are afraid
to change
6) Some parents do not realize
that the basic mistakes that they
have made in rearing their children
over the years are the direct cause
of their emotionally troubled chil-
dren disobeying them. They feel
“trapped†with no way out of the
problem that they have created.
7) Many parents try to control
their children when they, in fact,
should try to guide them, so that
their children can logically decide
between good and bad behavior.

African American Babies At Higher
Risk For Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS) But Simple Steps
Can Save Lives, Health Experts Say
African american babies are
nearly two-and-a-half times more
likely than Caucasian babies to die
from Sudden Ifant Death Syn-
drome (SIDS), but there are some
steps all parents and other
caregivers can take to reduce the
risk of SIDS.
SIDS is the the sudden and un-
explained death of an infant un-
der oner year of age. It strikes
nearly 4,000 babies in the United
States every year. The causes of
SIDS are still unclear, and it is
currently impossible to predict
which infants might fall victim to
SIDS.
The American Academy of Pe-
diatrics says the most important
way to reduce the incidence of
SIDS, sometimes known as "crib
death," is to place babies on their
backs to sleep. While health ex-
perts are uncertain about the link
between the stomach sleeping po-
sition and SIDS, there is some
evidence that air can become
trapped underneath a sleeping in-
fant, causing the child to rebreath
exhaled air. The Academy has
stated that sleeping on the back is
preferred; however, the side posi-
tion is considered an acceptable
alternative.
Other steps that parents and
caregivers can take to reduce the
risk of SIDS include:
eo Expectant mothers receive
early and regular pre-natal care.
Mothers should not smoke, drink
alcghol, or use drugs (Unless
prescibed by doctor) during preg-
nancy.
e Create a smoke free environ-
ment around your baby.
e Keep the temperature in the
baby's room so that it feels com-
fortable to adults. Babies should
not get too warm when sleeping.
e Caregivers should ensure that
babies receive immunizations on
schedule; and if the baby seems
sick, contact the baby's doctor or
clinic right away.
e If possible consider breast
feeding your baby.
"We are very proud of the Back
trol†their children as a means of
showing them who's the "boss". So
while they are making themselves
appear to be like tough parents,
they are destroying their children
and, in some cases, creating preda-
tors who will terrorize other mem-
bers of society.
8) Usually’ when a parent di-
rects violence at his/her children,
that parent uses violence to con-
trol the spouse also. Yet, few such
people will admit they are partici-
pating in child and spousal abuse.
9) There are wonderful easy-to-
use methods for raising children.
Such proven methods will result
in a healthy relationship between
parent and child, as well as be-
tween child and society.
10) Children who are victims of
parental violence or child abuse
usually lose complete respect for,
their parents and for other mem-
bers of society. They might learn
to obey the parent, but they also
learn to hate him or her.
11) Once the child has lost re-
spect for and trust in the parent,
more advised methods of counsel-
ing must be used to bring the child
back to a state of normality. Most
abused children, and their parents
are in need of extensive counsel-
ing. It is clear that: Nothing good
can result from the abuse or beat-
ing of a child.

Yvonne Maddox, Deputy Director
of the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development
(NICHD), a part of the National
Institutes of Health. "This cam-
paign has important messages for |
all babies, especially for those at
higher risk. Everyone who takes
care of infants needs to know how
to reduce the risk of SIDS for Af-
rican American babies."
Mr. Maddox added that public |
and private groups must enhance .
their efforts to reach these popu-
lations. " It is essential that the
simple message of putting your -
baby on his or her back to sleep
reaches everyone."
The "Back To Sleep" cam-

million parents of newborns. In
addition, a recorded message

Eases Pain of
Canker Sores
News USA
(NU) - Pesky canker sores
seem to occur at the most inop-
portune times. The painful sores
can form on the cheeks, inner
folds of the lips, the tongue and
the soft palate of the mouth,
Not that much is known about the
causes of canker sores. People with al-
lergies to food, food dyes and food
preservatives appear to have more
canker sores than nonallergic people.
Cow's milk, gluten, buckwheat,
whole wheat, figs, cheese, apples and
vinegar are some of the culprits that
can cause canker sores. Stress may
also be a factor. ’
Some toothpastes, such as Rem

Fluoride for Canker Sore Sufferers,
may help reduce the occurrence of
canker sores while it fights plague and
lartar.
The formula eliminates sodium
lauryl sulfate (SLS), a common de
tergent found in most toothpastes
Preliminary clinical studies show
that SLS can aggravate canker sores
and might be responsible for their
development.
If you get multiple canker sores

your dentist or physician to be eval
uated. It is important to be certain
that the mouth ulcer is a canker sore.

Treasures from Heaven
THE GIFT Of CHILDREN
Two new books celebrate the miraculous beauty of children. Naked
Babies captures the purely sensual delight of babies in their most
natural state. Treasures from Heaven pairs heart-catching pho-
tographs of children with scriptural verse to find lessons of faith.
(NAPS)—If your mom needs a
laugh, enjoys an uplifting read or
loves little ones, three new books
might make an excellent Mother's
Day gift for her.
Mother (Penguin Studio,
$24.95), a hilarious collection of
photographs and national best-
seller by Judy Olausen offers an
homage to her dear old mom and
a photo-essay on women’s roles in
the fifties.
The sixty shocking, yet comical
photos—mom as a coffee table,
mom as a doormat, mom as a
shopping martyr—bring us back
to an era when women’s role as
the traditional housewife was
depicted as blissful and happy.
“I wanted to tell the story in an
unphotojournalistic way and say,
‘Hey, let's give a little thanks,’ â€
said Olausen.â€
Her mom, Vivian, says, “People
watching us do these things think
I'm being tortured by an oddball,
but we laugh our heads off.â€
Naked Babies by photographer
Nick Kelsh and former New York
Times columnist Anna Quindlen,
(Penguin Studio, $24.95) is the
perfect gift for parents, parents-
to-be, even grandparents-to-be.
The book is a sophisticated
tribute to the mystery and magic
of infants in all their innocent
naked glory.
“Babies are meant to be naked
as surely as they are meant to be
nurtured and loved,†said Quindlen.
The book reminds adults to
look at the world through new eyes

and savor the innocence of babyhood
before it inevitably vanishes.
Another book that captures the
miraculous beauty of childhood is
Treasures from Heaven: The Gift of
Children (Penguin Studio, $14.95).
In this unique book, heart-catching
photographs by Monica Rich
Kosann are paired with essays and
biblical verses by dedicated nun
and educator, Sister Carol Ann
Nawracaj. This uplifting volume
reminds us that the future of chil-
dren is in our hands, and the
lessons of faith are for all.
“Children are a gift and all our
. endeavors must reflect this truth,â€

If the victims had all smoked
crack from the same bad batch,
there was no way to know how
large the batch was and how many
people had some of the drug in
their possession, Dodds said.
Sherift’s deputies seized what
they said may be tainted crack at
a home in the Inwood area of Win-
ter Haven and sent a sample to a
Florida Department of Law En-
forcement lab in Tampa.
The lab detected traces of “cut-

tests didn’t reveal any toxins that
would have caused the symptoms,

No Way To Maintain Your Beauty
(NAPS)—Some would like you
to believe that smoking is a smart
move—and chic; or a good way to
stay slim. But the real results of
cigarette smoking are far from
glamorous.
One Woman's Story
In the 1950s, Janet Sackman
was a popular model who led an
exciting and varied life. To
enhance her modeling career,
which included modeling for
cigarette advertisements targeted
at women, she became a smoker
herself. Now a grandmother of
seven, she has cancer of the throat
and has had her voice box
removed. She urges women and
girls not to “buy†the tobacco
industry's messages. She empha-
sizes, “Believe me, the results of
cigarette smoking are not glam-
orous. You have to walk in my
shoes to know how it feels. I didn't
believe any of this would happen to
me. Nobody does.â€

(NAPS)—Mothers have not
always had a day on which to
honor their special gifts. Here’s
how moms got a chance to shine:
THEN: Julia Ward Howe, who
wrote the Battle Hymn of The
Republic, and schoolteacher Anna
Jarvis both campaigned for sever-
al years for a special day on which
to honor mothers.
The day was observed by sever-
al churches in 1908 and finally
received national recognition in
1914 when President Woodrow
Wilson proclaimed the Second
Sunday in May to officially be
Mother's Day.
In 1979, Phyllis Mosele, the
mother of twelve, discovered a
truly sparkling idea for a Mother’s
Day gift.
Mosele became part-owner of a
company that offered customers
the opportunity to name stars.
Her star registry started as a
kitchen table operation, with
friends and children helping, but
has since grown into a thriving
international business.
Since the company was found-
ed, more than 500,000 stars have
been registered as gifts for birth-
days, weddings, memorials and
holidays. Mosele numbers celebri-
ties such as Elizabeth Taylor,
Whitney Houston, Tom Cruise,
Brooke Shields and Oprah Win-
frey among her clients.

Belt
(Continued From A-1)
-- almost as much as the urban
northeast. But, poverty in the
"Black Belt" also exceeds that of
any other region except the South
as a whole.
"Many recognize that race and
rurality (connect), but what's
we've lost track of is the impor-
tance of region, Wimberly said.
"And the South is where all these
things -- race, region and rurality
-- come together.
"Several times this century, the
poor conditions in the South have
been recognized, during the De-
pression and the War on Poverty
in the 1960s, but attention has
dropped off. Too often, national
studies make it seem that impov-
erished conditions, including poor
rural conditions, are spread rather
evenly throughout the United
States. They are not. In the effort
to eliminate poverty and improve
educational attainment, the South
loses by great distances relative to
other major U. S. regions."
The South, which has 34 per-
cent of the U. S. population, has
45 percent of America’s non-met-
ropolitan people and 55 percent of
non-city dwellers living in pov-
erty, according to U. S. Census
data.
In terms of employment, 6.3

average. But the study cautions

that poor and rural underemploy-

A lack of education was also
noted as a factor.
Fifty-three percent of African
Americans living in the "Black
Belt's" non-metropolitan areas do
not have a high school diploma,
compared to 25 percent for the rest
of the population.
The numbers on African-
American poverty point out the

Agricultural Education, Econom-
ics and Rural Sociology at N. C.

For Mother’s Day: Some “Scents†Of Love
(NAPS)—Ever since it started
back in 1908, Mother's Day has
been associated with sweet scents.
When Anna Jarvis suggested the
second Sunday in May should be
set aside to honor one’s maternal
parent, she also requested people
wear carnations to mark the occa-
sion. Carnations were a favorite
flower of her own mother.
Mother's Day received national
recognition on May 9, 1914, when
President Woodrow Wilson signed
a joint resolution of Congress re-
cognizing Mother’s Day, and in
1915, it was declared an annual
national observance.
Nowadays, many mothers and
others are glad to get such sweet-
scented gifts as these refreshing
new fragrances:
e Fire and Ice Cool from
Revlon, a fresh floral with a hint
of sandalwood and musk, it’s a
sensual scent that’s light enough
for everyday. It comes in a custom
designed frosted-glass bottle and
is available in cologne spray, per-
fume, massage oil, body lotion,
bath and body wash, and bath
salts.
e Cherish, a sheer, feminine
floral, inspired by a woman’s car-
ing nature. The collection includes
bath products as well as cologne
spray in three sizes. It also comes
in a special gift set of cologne
spray plus body lotion.
e For women who like a light,

bright citrusy fragrance, there's
Charlie Sunshine. The latest in
the Charlie line of fragrance, it
comes in a sunny yellow carton
and is available in cologne spray,
body lotion and body wash.
All of these fragrances and
body & bath products, which are
priced between $1.99 and $38.00,
can be found at local drug stores.
Whatever gift you choose to use
to honor your mother this year,
present it with love to her and
thanks to Anna Jarvis.

Child
Abuse
(Continued From A-1)
Lawton Chiles said. "It is tragic
that the same years that are so cru-
cial for children are also the time
when they are most likely to be
seriously abused."
Last year, 37 children died from
child abuse, down from 47 in
1994-95 and the lowest number
since Florida began keeping track
of child abuse deaths in 1986. At
the same time, deaths due to ne-
glect climbed from 42 in 1994-95
to 54 last year. The state only be-
gan tracking child neglect deaths
in 1993-94.
As in previous years, the earli-
est years of life remain the most
deadly: Eighty percent of the 91
children who died from abuse or
neglect in 1995-96 were age four
or younger, and 39 percent were
infants. Child abuse and neglect
was the third leading cause of
death among young children, ac-
counting for 73 deaths, exceeded
only by Sudden Infant death Syn-
drome (134) and accidental
drownings (83).
Department of Children &
Families Secretary Ed Feaver said
the state has excellent models of
prevention programs that work,
and they provide a role for all Flo-
ridians, not just social workers or
health professionals.
Feaver noted that a study com-
missioned by Congress that was
released recently concluded that
home visits to troubled families by
nurses, social workers and others
were effective in reducing crime,
while traditional crime-fighting
programs like boot camps and
neighborhood watches were not.
"It's time we start investing in
what works and that means invest-
ing in families early on, while chil-
dren are young and problems are
easier to fix," Feaver said. "These
programs show the benefits of ef-
fective prevention, and these fami-
lies will continue to reap those
benefits for generations."
Feaver said outstanding col-
laborative community partner-
ships are being formed through-
out the state to enhance and ex-
pand child abuse and neglect pre-
vention under the department's
family preservation and support
program.
Feaver also said the Legislature
appeared to be on track to fund the,
department's competency-based
training and pay plan, which will
substantially increase the training
of frontline child protection work-
ers, require workers to demon-
strate competency on written tests
and in field work, and retain good
workers with higher pay.

(NAPS)—One of many chal-
lenges facing both small business
owners and the general consumer
today is the technological wizard
sitting on your desk we call a
computer. How do you use it more
efficiently?
One answer lies in producing
more distinctive, useful business
and personal materials. A scanner
can enhance a computer’s capabil-
ities in numerous ways:
* Scan your signature for use in
electronic documents. If you send
computer faxes, attach your signa-
ture to the end of the document
and it looks like the real thing.
* Most people have important
personal and legal papers to pro-
tect. Scan documents before you
store them, so you always have
them backed up on computer disk.
* Liven up a Web page by
adding scanned photos, drawings
and diagrams.
* Add visuals to a family tree
by scanning in old photos of fami-
ly members, or create a digital
photo album to print and send out
to family and friends.
* Are you a budding gourmet
chef—or someone who needs to
save the recipe for coffee? Scan
your favorites into a collection and
print it out in a compact booklet.
One of the easiest scanners on
the market to operate is the
Hewlett Packard Scandet 5pse, a
color/grayscale desktop flatbed
scanner. This scanner is specifical-
ly designed to help home and busi-

ness users add color photos, text
and artwork to print communica-
tions. What sets this scanner apart
is a convenient front button—simi-
lar to those found on copiers. One
push of this green button allows
you to scan your documents and
photos, making the process easier
and more convenient than ever to
use—and a great purchase for your
office at less than $400.
HP makes an entire line of
sheetfed and flatbed grayscale
and color scanners, ranging in
price from $199 to $899. HP pro-

Ways To Cut Costs
Without Sacrificing Lifestyle
\ T
(NAPS)—Yes, you can cut costs
without everyone in the family get-
ting snippy about it. Here are some
home and utility related tips from
CertainTeed Home Institute, that
will help you get your expenses
under control:
* Raise your thermostat by at
least one degree in the warmer
weather and lower it by one
degree in the colder weather. This
can save you one to two percent on
heating and cooling bills.
* Close off unused rooms to
conserve cooling or heating.
* Turn down the temperature
on your water heater. Don’t
overuse hot water.
* Examine the insulation lev-
els in your attic. Chances are if
your home was built before 1980
it is not insulated up to today’s
energy standards. Adding extra
insulation is an easy project to
undertake on a Saturday after-
noon. Simply visit your home sup-
ply store and ask the salesperson
to help you determine how much
insulation you need based on your
geographic area. Then look for an
encapsulated insulation like Easy
Handler® from CertainTeed,
which is covered with a breath-
able non-woven fabric designed to
reduce itching and dust and add
comfort while working with and
handling insulation.
* Turn off the lights and televi-
sion when you leave a room.
Adding extra insulation is an
easy project to undertake on a
Saturday afternoon.
* If you can, use a toaster oven
or microwave rather than your
regular oven because they use less
energy.
* Water your lawn at night.
During the day water evaporates,
faster.
* Never run a dishwasher
unless it is full, and use the air
dry cycle.
* Lastly, buy a good home
repair manual. The more you can
do for yourself the more you'll
have left in the bank.

gy saving home improvement pro-

Environmentalism Comes Home
(NAPS)—Here's good news for
a change about our environment.
According to a recent survey,
green issues are in the bag on the
home front.
Asked how—or if—environmen-
tal concerns affected their actions
at home, respondents to a recent
Plastic Bag Association (PBA) sur-
vey revealed a number of hearten-
ing trends, such as these: :
e Over 71 percent teach their
children the environmental basics,
including the three R's: reduce,
reuse, recycle.
e More than 62 percent volun-
teer time at least once each year
for an environmental cause. Most
popular volunteer efforts include
community recycling drives (39
. percent) and highway or beach lit-
3
ter clean-ups (22 percent).
* Nearly 84 percent of those
surveyed say they consider the
environmental platform of a can-
didate when choosing how to cast
their votes.
* Eighty-four percent of those
surveyed said they “always†recy-
cle one or more kinds of materials
either at home or at a collection
center.
Consumers also keep the envi
ronment in mind at the mall and
grocery store:
« When shopping, over 21 per
cent “always†and over 76 percent
“sometimes†choose products
based on the packaging’s recycled
content or recyclability.
Americans appear to be doing
more to protect the environment
than many realize, a recent sur-
vey revealed.
« Ninety-three percent of those
surveyed “always†or “sometimesâ€
consolidate shopping purchases to
use fewer bags, or refuse a bag
when one isn’t needed.
¢ When returning home, more
than 88 percent reuse their plastic
bags. Grocery bags are most com-
monly reused, followed by retail
and dry cleaning bags.
You can learn more about pro-
tecting our environment through
plastic bag reuse and recycling by

Clearinghouse at 1-800-438-5856.

tal knowledge by visiting PBA’s

What You Don’t Know Might Hurt You
(NAPS)—A strong foundation
for your house can prove to be a
.solid foundation for happiness.
That's in part because a foundation
can be vital to your home's safety
and stability.
Safety starts with your home’s
footing. The footing is a concrete
channel outlining the basement
perimeter. It’s the first part of the
foundation.
Now contractors have a new
way to build the footing, with
water drainage and radon gas in
mind. A new building tool does a
superior job of diverting water and
removing radon. CertainTeed’s
Form-A-Drain is essentially a rect-
angular pipe that takes in water
and gas from the ground around
the base of a home, then removes it
from the area.
It works like this: Form-A-Drain
is placed down as a form for the
footing. Then, unlike wood, it is left
in place after the concrete is poured
to function as a drainage system.
Then when water enters the sys-
tem, outlets allow it to flow a safe
distance away from the structure.
Or, an outlet can funnel water
towards a sump pit built into the
basement floor, from where it is
removed by a sump pump. Either
way, you reduce the chances of
flooding.
In addition, builders can attach
a vertical pipe to an outlet. When
the home is complete, radon gas
can pass safely through the pipe
and out of the structure.
4
ra
People living in homes with
this new foundation system may
be better protected from poi-
sonous radon gas.
Form-A-Drain is said to have
several distinct advantages over
more traditional construction
methods, including:
¢ Light weight,
* Easy installation,
® Precision, and
* Rigidity.
Homes built without water and
radon protection can have water
and gas seep up through the base-
ment floor, doing damage you can’t
see at first. What you can’t see can
still hurt you and your home.
Those who have used the system
say it can save significantly on
work time and manpower, as well
as saving on the cost of lumber.

Americans enjoy focusing their
attention on home related pro-
Jects—cleaning the outdoor furni-
ture, planting flowers, raking
debris from their lawns, painting
or even building an addition to
their dwellings.
If you're fixing up your home
or buying one that may require
fixing up, the CertainTeed Home
Institute has a great tip for you—
consider an energy efficient loan.
If any part of your project
involves an improvement geared
towards improving the energy
efficiency of your home, you may
qualify for an energy efficient
loan. Energy efficient loans are
for buying energy related prod-
ucts or services to improve the
energy efficiency of your home.
They are available at low rates
today and pay themselves back
for many years to come.
If you found your home uncom-
‘fortable during the winter's cold
you may want to use an energy
efficient loan to upgrade your insu-
lation levels. The spring time is the
perfect time to call a professional
insulation contractor to evaluate
your home's energy performance.
To locate an insulation contrac-
tor, call friends or neighbors, look
in the Yellow Pages, or call the
local contractor's association.

FOR INVESTORS
Advances In Technology Enhance
Trading On New York Stock Excha
(NAPS)—Thanks to the latest
technology, your broker can exe-
cute a trade for you on the New
York Stock Exchange in much less
time than it probably takes you to
decide to buy or sell the stock.
The technology that makes this
possible is called the SuperDOT
system, an electronic highway
linking member firms across the
country directly to the Big Board.
This system makes it possible for
an order entered in a broker's
office in Los Angeles to be elec-
tronically delivered to the trading
post on the floor of the Exchange
in New York, where it is exposed
to the auction market in order to
get the best price, executed, and a
confirmation of the trade is sent
back to Los Angeles—all in about
22 seconds.
NYSE systems not only send
orders to the exchange, they drive
numerous displays on the floor of
the exchange to facilitate trading,
maintain lists of limit orders,
which are trades to be executed
when the price reaches a specific
level, and record all trades for
both regulatory and settlement
purposes. Of course, they also
report each trade to stock displays
around the/ world.
Perhaps the most important
aspect of SuperDOT for the indi-
vidual investor is that it gives their
orders priority in the system.
Orders from individual investors
are given priority in the system
in that they are delivered to the
trading floor ahead of larger orders

in the case of increased activity in
the market. Once on the floor they
are represented by a specialist in
the “trading crowd†in order to
obtain the best price.
Today, the NYSE is the world’s
most technologically advanced
financial market. In just the past
few years, more than $600 million
worth of state-of-the-art technology
has been installed. This includes
hundreds of miles of fiber optics,
America’s first, and the world’s
largest, commercial application of
high definition, flat screen display
panels (which display stock quotes
on the floor of the exchange) and
the innovative use of handheld,
wireless, touch-screen terminals
for recording trades
The unmatched technology of
the NYSE insures that all
investors will be treated fairly and
receive the best price. Most impor

A Lawn You Can Be Proud Of—
Without Crab Grass
(NAPS)—If you've ever gotten
crabby about crab grass you're not
alone. There are thousands of
homeowners across the country
who dream of a lush green lawn
without that pesky weed. These
simple tips from lawn experts can
help make that dream come true:
na. Get an early start. The best
time to apply a crab grass preven-
ter is early in the spring before the
weather warms and the crab grass
germinates. Use a preventer that
best fits your schedule and can be
applied any time in the spring.
Some preventers on the market
give you as much as an 11-week
application window.
* Use a crab grass preventer
that is convenient to use and
environmentally friendly. An
example of a herbicide that not
only has that 11-week window but
also kills crab grass and is not haz-
ardous to people, pets and wildlife
is Dimension®.
* Fertilize at the same time.
A crab grass preventer such as
Dimension can rid your lawn of
crab grass for up to five months
and fertilize at the same time. The
trick is to look for Dimension in
the fertilizer you buy. The product
is also nonstaining, so it won’t
harm lawn furniture, decks,
patios or even the carpet if
tracked in by people or pets. It
also controls more than 20 other
tough weeds, including gooseg-
rass, oxalis and spurge.
* Mowing. You'll have less
trouble from weeds if you cut your

lawn to a height of about two to
three inches. It will look better and
the chance of drought injury will
be reduced.
* To water or not to water.
Experts say that a well-built lawn
that is properly maintained need
only be watered during rare periods
of prolonged drought. They remind
. lawn lovers that constantly watered
lawns usually have more weed
problems than unwatered lawns,
and once watering is begun it must
be continued regularly if the turf is
not to be badly injured from drying.

HIRING A LAWYER?
“BUYER BEWARE!â€
(NAPS)—Before signing a
mortgage, homebuyers are given
pages of detail about interest
rates, prepayment, and fees. Toys
and tools come with instruction
manuals. Even funeral directors
must give a complete set of
options and prices. But when
you need a lawyer it is strictly
“buyer beware.†You get more
information on a can of soup than
you do when you hire a lawyer.
While consumers often pay
la®yers for routine tasks, such as
drafting a contract or will, real
money comes from contingency
fees. These fees are the 30 to 50
percent lawyers take from plain-
tiffs’ financial awards. This fee
arrangement is the normal way to
sue for personal injury whether it
be caused by a lawnmower or an
airplane crash.
Contingency fees are good—
most people cannot afford to pay
$10,000 to $20,000 up front to sue.
But in cases such as a mass disas-
ter, factory explosion or train
wreck, many lawyers take advan-
tage of consumers’ lack of knowl-
edge about how the legal system
works and use tragedies to make
lots of money, often with little
work. In one case, a lawyer wrote
three letters and got a fee of more
than $160,000. After an .airplane
crash another lawver was paid
$385,000 for 35 hours work—a
rate of $11,000 per hour.
These incredible earnings
explain why lawyers flock around
survivors of disasters and their
families, passing out cards at the
scene and popping into hospitals
to hassle survivors. After her hus-
band’s accidental death, Kathy
Reynolds, a pregnant mother of a
two-year-old, was contacted by
more than 30 lawyers. Several
even approached her at the
funeral.
Law is one of few areas where
consumers are not protected.
When one hasn't anticipated the
need for legal help, there is no
way of knowing what a lawyer's
services are worth and the trauma
of the accident can leave people
incapable of choosing, or bargain-
ing with a lawyer. One practicing
lawyer whose wife died in an acci-
dent said he was so upset even he
couldn’t handle the barrage of
lawyer solicitations.
Consumers need an “Injured
Consumers’ Bill of Legal
Rights†that would prohibit
lawyers from unwanted solicita-
tion and allow victims to bargain,
and avoid turning over half their
recovery to a lawyer who may
have done little more than write a
letter. For more information con-

Facts About Leasing
(NAPS)—Taking this True-False
quiz on car leasing may dispel some
commonly-held myths and help put
vou in the driver's seat.
1. Leasing is complicated and
confusing. (a) True (b) False?
2. When you lease you get
locked in to a long-term commit-
ment. (a) True (b) False?
3. A substantial down payment
is required when you lease. (a)
True (b) False?
4. Only lease if you drive
15,000 miles per year. (a) True (b)
False?
ANSWERS:
1. (b) False. Look for new
“Plain English†lease documents
which present information plainly
and clearly. For example, The
First Class Lease from Mercedes
Benz Credit Corporation was sim-
plified, taking out the “legaleseâ€
and reducing it from six pages to
only one two-sided page.
Complication and confusion can
be eliminated if the lessee under-
stands the lease agreement. 2. (b)
False. Some leases can be tailored
to individual situations and offer
numerous options. Using Merced-
es-Benz again as an example, The
First Class Lease allows cus
tomers to tailor the term of the
lease between 24 and 60 months
Other flexible features include
turning in, purchasing, re-leasing
Leasing can put you into a
more desirable car for lower
monthly payments.
or lease extension at the end of
the lease and various payment
options including a single pay-
ment up front, multiple security
deposits and convenient direct
bank debit payment. 3. (b) False
again. Most leases require little or
no down payment. However, a
down payment, which may be in
the form of a trade-in, will reduce
your monthly payments. In leas-
ing terms, a down payment is
known as a capitalized cost reduc-
tion. 4. (b) False. High mileage
drivers can build additional miles
into some leases. These miles will
typically be less expensive to pur-
chase up front than the charge at
the end of the lease. Unused
mileage can sometimes even be
refunded. Low mileage drivers can
obtain a low mileage lease with
lower monthly payments.

opportunities to succeed."
He compared the structure of
needed support for young people
to the image of a wedding cake
with its multiple layers:
* The bottom and sturdiest layer
is the love and nurturing supplied
by parents and close relatives who
are resilient, believe in the system
and steer their children on the right
course. This is the most important
conception to the onset of adult-
hood--even after that.
* The next layer is essential
support that all children need and
that cannot be left to chance: qual-
ity early childhood education,
health care, effective schools --and
constructive programs with caring
adults after school, weekends,
summers and while parents work.
These supports are needed on a
consistent, daily basis. Since they
cannot be left to chance, they are
“essential public services" to be
financed with public money. The
delivery systems might be debat-
able, but the underlying public
obligation is not.
* The third is the thousands of
volunteer mentors who argument
parents and exposing young
people to new opportunities and
horizons. These mentors play an
indispensable role, even though
they can't be there everyday, be-
cause they build the needed rela-
tionships and fill in gaps that
would otherwise exist in children's
lives. Studies show the benefit of
these programs, like Big Brothers/
Big Sisters and the Quantum Op-
portunities Program in Philadel-
phia.

ences that expose young people to

Journey For Justice: Marchers Seek
Federal Intervention In Gammage Case
By Deepak Karamcheti
Special to the NNPA from the
New Pittsburgh Courier
When will it end?
It is a frequently asked question
concerning the trails of police of-
ficers involved in the October
1995 death of Black motorist
Johnny Gammage.
After the acquittal of Brent-
wood officer John Vojtas in No-
vember of last year and the mis-
trial of Baldwin officer Michael
Albert and Brentwood lieutenant
Milton Nulholland, the question
remained unanswered.
But with final arguments form
both the prosecution and defense
delivered, the public is awaiting a
verdict from Allegheny County
judge David R. Cashman.
"The whole thing was a mistake
from the beginning," said
Dorthory Urquhart of the United
Concerned Christians at Work
(UCCW). Urquhart said no trial
will be sufficient unless it result
in the conviction of all five offic-
ers present at the scene of
Gammage's death and hope a sec-
ond trail will not be held. She be-
lieves that the ongoing trial was
"opening trail wound again†for
the Gammage family.
"I cannot see any trail bringing
justice," she said.
However, some Pittsburgh's
concerned residents are looking
beyond the highly publicized cast
to Washington, D.C., where they
held a "Journey For Justice†to
draw national attention to miscon-
duct among city police officers.
Along with a number of other
grassroots organizations, UCCW
traveled to Washington on Friday,
Feb. 21, 1997. The marchers from
Pittsburgh were joined in Wash-
ington, D.C. by protesters from
Syracuse, Buffalo, Philadelphia
and Virginia to deliver a petition
to U.S. Attorney General Janet
Reno requesting a federal investi-
gation of the Gammage case.
Gammage, a Syracuse native,
died after being stopped for driv-
ing erratically along Pittsburgh's
Route 51. He was the cousin and
business partner of Pittsburgh
Steeler Ray Seals.
Time Stevens president of the
Pittsburgh branch of the NAACP
said he hopes to put additional
pressure on city, county and na-
tional legislators to investigate the
Gammage case.
"We're not going to find justice
in Pittsburgh," said Pete Shell of
the Campus Coalition for Peace
and Justice.
Shell said that county district at-
torney Bob Colville has never suc-
cessfully prosecuted police in
Pittsburgh.
He feels that Cashman will al-
low a second trail for Albert and
Mulholland, s decision the com-
munity support, but whether a
@ Pamela Rodgers
GM Dealer
second trial will produce closure
in Gammage's death is another
question.
Stevens said he would not
speculate on Cashman's decision.
He said the trail has been unpre-
dictable and is "becoming a cir-
cus. It's had so many twists and
turns it's almost ridiculous."
During a double jeopardy hear-
ing in Early February, defense at-
“General Motors
believes in my goals

cluding visits to museums, sum-
mer internships and jobs that help
youngsters know that employers
really do want them in the work-
place.
Mr. Price emphasized that, for
these initiatives to be effective,
we--as a society--must make cer-
tain that parents and families are
in the economic loop. "Parents
who are outside the mainstream
because they are chronically out
of work, won't believe in this sys-
tem or impact the right values to
kids," he said. "They won't be able
to provide that "first layer" of sup-
port.
In reference to recent welfare
legislation, he noted that there is
a fear that the economy doesn't
have room for all who will be cast-
off welfare, leading to a game of
musical chairs with ex-recipients
displacing the working poor.
Labels Don't Work
Lou Frey, Jr. Member of Congress
(FL'69-'79)
Just recently a political issue
has arisen as the result of a Phila-
delphia election campaign that af-
fects all in the country. It involves
an instructional video tape that
was made by one of the candidates
when he was an assistant prosecu-
tor years ago. In this tape he states
that prosectors should not take as
members of a jury young African
American males with low in-
comes as they are anti police and
anti prosecution. He does go on
to say that other groups also cause
problems. A firestorm has broken
out over this tape, but no one has
focused on the real problem and
that is labeling and stereotyping
people.
Let me give you an example
from the sport's world to illustrate
my point. Assume that I am high
school basketbal! coach and I have
to pick five players for my team. |
have trying out, five African
Americans, all of whom are 62"
in height or over. I also have try-
ing out, five Caucasians, ranging
in height from 5'3" to 5'7". I re-
member the movie, "White Man
Can't Jump." I also know it is usu-
ally better to have tall ballplayers
than short ballplayers. Therefore,
without giving anymore a tryout,
I choose the five African Ameri-
cans for my team. However, in so
doing, I have missed 5'3" white
Caucasian who can dunk, who has
the potential to play college bas-
ketball, and be the starting guard
on the Charlotte NBA Basketball
Team. This sounds like a fairy tale
but it Muggsy Bogues, in was ex-
ample, was one of the white
ballplayers, he would have never
had a chance to play as he is 5"3".
Yet, in real life he can drunk,
played college ball and today is
playing for the Charlotte Hornets
in the NBA.
Labels just do not work.
Whether the label is white, blue
or black, conservative or liberal,
man or woman, each of us is
unique. There are facts which can
be taken into consideration, such
as one's height, but one must also
determine how high one can jump,
and how hard one will work. One
of the great tragedies of our soci-
ety is that we don't take the time
to look past stereotype and labels.
We try to put people in narrow cat-
egories.
It's ironic that while we are cel-
ebrating the 50th anniversary of
Jackie Robinson's breaking the
color line in baseball we are still
hung on labels. We are learning-
but it has been a slow and labori-
ous Process.
an League President, Hugh B. Price
elegates At Presidents’ Summit
“We must focus on accessing or
creating jobs." he said, "so that
parents will be in the economic
loop, believe in the system and
impact the right values and sup-
port ‘for children."
Mr. Price spoke of his good
friend, Dr. James Corner, who de-
scribed how when he was grow-
ing up, all the adults in his life--
parents, aunts, teachers, merchants
and cops on the beat--were locked
in a conspiracy to make certain
that he succeeded.
"President Clinton and General
Powell have fingered each of us
for this conspiracy," Price told the
audience, "We have no choice but
to enlist because, as we Urban
Leaguers say, 'Our Children = Our
Destiny."
Governor Toni Jennings?
Lou Frey, Jr., Member of Congress
(FL '69-'79) :
The session in Tallahassee has
been a real plus for Senate Presi-
dent, Toni Jennings. The Senate
acted in an extremely manner,
moved legislation well, took on
some tough issues such as teach-
ers’ tenure, and did not make any
major errors. The result of this has
been an increase in rumors regard-
ing Senator Jennings’ political fu-
ture. She has previously indicated
that she is not interested in going
to Washington, which eliminates
the race against Bob Graham for
U.S. Senate. On the other hand,
rumors in the past have put her in
the race for governor, lieutenant
governor and insurance commis-
sioner. Senate Jennings' options
regarding the cabinet races in '98
are limited. There are three Repub-
lican incumbents, Secretary of
State Mortham; Secretary of Edu-
cation Brogan, and Comptroller
Milligan,. The Senate probably
does not have any interest in tow
of three Democrat cabinet posi-
tions, Attorney General
(Butterworth) and Secretary of
Agriculture (Crawford). The one
cabinet position that could be of
interest is Insurance Commis-
sioner (Bill Nelson). The real
question that the Senate President
has to face is the possibility of a
race for governor. Most people
have concealed the Republican
nomination to Jeb Bush, who ran
a strong tough campaign against
Lawton Chiles in 1994. In recent
days, Republican State Chairman,
Tom Slade, has publicly indicated
his preference for Bush, which has
caused some hard feelings in the
Jennings' camp. A race against
Bush could be both tough and di-
visive.
Rumors are the lifeblood of the
legislative session in Tallahassee.
One of the interesting rumors that
has surfaced is for Toni Jennings
to run as an Independent for gov-
enor on the basis that she has been
blocked by "Boss Slade's" support
of Bush in the Republican primary.
If she could get significant support
from Republican officeholders
and add business oriented Demo-
crats, If she could get significant
support from Republican office-
holders and add business oriented
Democrats., it would leave the
governor's race wide open.
Jennings would be the first woman
candidate for governor after being
the first woman Senate President.
This rumor may be a fairytale
dreamed up by those supporting
Lt. Governor MacKay. On the
other hand, if Senator Jennings
could raise the necessary money,
it would turn the race into a dead
heart between three well-qualified
experienced candidates.

From the Law Offices
Of Bivens,Jones,
Brannon & Associates
refuse him access to enter anyway.
Many landlords often inquire as
to when they can consider an
apartment or home abandoned and
therefore enter the premises. This
situation usually arises when the
tenant has not made a rental pay-
ment and has not been seen in the
apartment over a certain period of
time. In the usual case, even
though the tenant has not been
seen, he or she may have left vari-
ous items within the premises,
This is the weekly legal update
from the law office Bivens, Jones
& Associates, Attorney at Law.
This article deals with the rights
and obligations of landlords and
tenants with respect to access to
the premises.
Many tenants of property often
complain that their landlord, with-
out their consent, enters into their
apartments of house without noti-
fying them or asking permission.
Many times these prove to be em-
barrassing situations for the ten-
ant in that they are either taking
baths or are in bed or whatever. In
effect, this amounts to an invasion
of privacy and many tenants feel
that this is inappropriate and un-
just. Chapter 83 of the Florida stat-
utes deal with the problems of the
landlord entering into the premises
of the tenant.
Basically, when you rent an
apartment you acquire an interest
in that particular apartment and
also the common grounds of the
property. Although the owner/
landlord has legal title to the prop-
erty, you as a tenant have an inter-
est and sole possession of your
particular unit. Therefore, it is an
intrusion and an invasion of pri-
vacy for the landlord to enter with-
out your permission. The question
therefore arises, when does the
landlord have the right to enter
into the premises. There are cer-
tain times when the landlord not
only has a right, but has a neces-
sity to enter into the premises.
Chapter 83 of the Florida statutes
deals with the particular problem
of the balancing of the ownership
rights of the landlord in contrast
to the possessory interest of the
tenant.
Chapter 83 states that the ten-
ants shall not "unreasonably"
withhold consent to the landlord
to enter the dwelling until from
time in order to: inspect the pre-
mises; make necessary or agreed
repairs, decorations, alternations,
or improvements; supply agreed
services: or exhibit the dwelling
unit to perspective or actual pur-
chases, mortgagees, tenants,
workmen, or contractors. What
this means is that a landlord has a
right to enter into the premises for
necessary, reasons, and, as a ten-
ant, you cannot totally prohibit the
landlord from entering.
Chapter 83 further states that
the landlord may enter the dwell-
ing unit upon "reasonable notice"
to the tenant and at a "reasonable
time" for the purpose of repair.
The statue goes further and denies
what is meant by "reasonable no-
tice" and "reasonable time." It
states "reasonable notice", for the
purpose of repair, is notice given
possibly furniture, clothing or
other items. The landlord at this
point is desperate to acquire ac-
cess to the premises for the pur-
poses of removing the items and
possibly renting the apartment to
someone else.
Chapter 83 also deals with this
situation and states that if the ten-
ant is absent from the premises for
a period of time equal to one-half
the time for the periodic rental
payments, then the landlord has a
right to enter into the premises.
However, there are certain condi-
tions that must be met. First, the
landlord does not have a right to
enter if 1) the rent is current or 2)
if the tenant notifies the landlord
of an intended absence. In this
case, the landlord may only enter
the premises with the consent of
the tenant or for the protection or
the preservation of the premises.
An example of this id if the tenant
is paying rent by the month and
the rental amount is $150.00. One-
half of the time for the payment
of the rent would then be 15 days.
Therefore, if the tenant has not
been seen upon the premises and
it appears it has been abandoned,
then after 15 days providing the
rent has not been paid, the land-
lord has a right to enter into the
premises.
In conclusion, a landlord or
owner of property does not have
the right to abuse the right of ac-
cess to the premises nor use itin a
way to harass the tenant. Likewise,
the tenant has no right to unrea-
sonably prohibit the landlord from
entering into the premises from
time to time or as necessary.
Please note that this is a very
general overview and is not in-
tended to teach any specific area
of law. Should you have any legal
problems that require assistance or
a fact situation that you cannot
work through on your own, you

me!" Officer Leone told Bass that she was under arrest for drinking in

there are times when a landlord

visit Egypt to see, for themselves, the
incredible legacy the ancient
Egyptians handed down to us.
“When you're in the Valley of the

pyramids, or when you walk through
the temples, you can’t help but mar-
vel at how these people were able to
build the pyramids and the obelisk

ago, without any of the technology
we use today. Theirs was a great civ-
ilization that had already made so
many advances in science, in mathe-
matics, and the arts, and in com-
merce. “Fortunately, I was able to
have my two children with me when
we did the film in

they're too young to appreciate

Yup. Mira Sorvino did graduate
from Harvard. Matter of fact, it was
MAGNA CUM LAUDE in East
Asian languages ... Julia Sweeney,
who was Pat on “Saturday Night
Live" for many years, toured the
country with her successful one-
woman show titled “And God Said
Ha!". Now she has put those words
into a book with the same title to hit
the stalls in June ... Aside to Kenneth
B. of Miami, Fla.: No. Tommy Lee
Jones does not live in Hollywood.
His home is in San Antonio, Texas,
and he commutes to where he shoots.
Incidentally, Tommy Lee also went to
Harvard and graduated CUM
LAUDE with a degree in English ... 1
find it hard to believe, but Billy Bob
Thornton's estranged wife swears he
“punched, choked and bit her†during
their marriage. She sure was lovingly
hanging onto his arm at the Oscar's.
Meanwhile, Billy Bob swears
“T'isn't 50.†Who's to really know???
Chalk up Jane Seymour and
James Keach's marriage as one of
the happiest in Hollywood. They
somehow manage to continue top
careers, and have a wonderful private
life as well

fate of his bill, which is pending
before the House Civil Practices
Committee. But he said there has
to be some measure of determin-
ing discrimination.
The issue arose after a federal
court, dealing with questions
about a former student admissions
program at the University of Texas
law school, ruled that race can not
be a factor in school admissions.
Texas Attorney General Dan
Morales said last year’s ruling
applies to all Texas schools. He
said public and private schools
that accept some state funds can’t
consider race in any student-re-
lated decisions unless previous
discrimination can be legally de-
termined. Even then, race can be
used only as a limited factor in
admissions and financial aid de-
cisions.
Dutton said few minority stu-
dents rejected by Texas colleges
and universities would be avail-
able to speak in favor of it.
“They will go out of state when
they are rejected from Texas
schools,†he said. “Then we'll re-
alize we have a crisis.â€
The bill would apply only to
state schools with football teams.
The percentages of minority stu-
dents and minority football team
members would be taken each
September.

bring Hartsock back to Orlando.
Hartsock also was wanted in
connection with last week's blud-
geoning death of a man and the
rape of a woman outside a hotel
across the street from Universal
Studios, in the heart of Orlando's
tourist district.
That was the first of four mur-
ders in a three-day period near an
entertainment corridor lined with
hotels, family restaurants, water
rides, miniature golf courses and
outlet shopping malls.
None of the four people killed
were tourists. Another man has
been charged with first-degree
murder in one of those slayings
but police said they had no leads
or suspects in the two remaining
deaths.
Authorities said Hartsock, a
construction worker, was chased
for 15 miles Monday before the
stolen Jeep blew a tire. He pulled
into a parking lot and a pursuing
officer forced him to the curb.
Neither Hartsock nor two hitch
hikers who had been riding with
him were injured, authorities said.
A statewide search for Hartsock
had intensified after Sunday's re-
lease of the kidnap victim, a 22-
year-old Virgin Atlantic Airlines
employee who was abducted
Wednesday night in the parking
lot of a shopping mall.
The woman was in stable con-
dition Monday at Orlando Re-
gional Medical Center and was
being examined for sexual abuse.

man.

Police said that during her ab-
duction her bank card was used
twice, once in Orlando and once
in Sarasota, about 130 miles away.
