African-Americans age 50+ in Jacksonville have their
own interests, issues and concerns. Now they also have
a radio show on WCGL-AM 1360 – “News You Can Use,
from AARP.”
Now airing weekly at 8:30 a.m. Tuesdays, the show is
hosted by two Jacksonville residents with deep roots in
this region and strong backgrounds in community activity.
Billie Holmes, a retired educator, and Melvin Wooden, a
Navy veteran and community leader, bring listeners use-
ful tips and helpful information specifically for African-
Americans age 50+ in Jacksonville.
The shows are sponsored by AARP, which helps turn
your goals and dreams into real possibilities. AARP is an
ally for African-Americans age 50+ in Jacksonville, help-
ing to bring activities like the upcoming Boomer Acad-
emy event from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Schell
Sweet Center at Edward Waters College, where attendees
can learn how to get the most from their Medicare and
Social Security benefits, how to start a small business and
other useful tips.
AARP creates real possibilities by connecting you with
information you need. That’s why Billie and Melvin have
brought listeners interviews with AARP experts on pro-
tecting Social Security and Medicare, insights from com-
munity leaders like 100 Black Men of Jacksonville’s
Stephen Kennedy and fascinating conversations with in-
spiring figures like Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the six-time
Olympic medalist hailed as the greatest woman athlete of
the 20th Century.
National news media are now focusing attention on this
month’s 50th anniversary of the March on Washington –
but Billie and Melvin were there first, bringing insights
from an award-winning Florida A&M professor on a re-
cent show.
AARP will continue to bring you insightful information
that engages, entertains, and inspires. Join AARP Jack-
sonville volunteer radio hosts Melvin Wooden and Billie
Holmes on WCGL-AM 1360 for “News You Can Use,
From AARP” at 8:30 a.m. every Tuesday.
To volunteer for AARP Florida in the Jacksonville area,
please call (866) 595-7678 and ask for Associate State Di-
rector Nancy Stanton.
Vincent Jacobbi is an AARP communications intern.
Four have been arrested in connection with the shooting death of 36-
year-old Wesley Bridges at the Park View Place Apartments in Sans Souci.
Jarquavis Davis, Roteia Hutchison, Eltonia Humphries and Josh Dukes
are all charged with murder in the killing of Wesley Bridges.
Bridges was found shot almost two weeks ago at the complex in the 6200
block of Barnes Road. He later died at a hospital.
According to the police records, Bridges and another man were sitting
outside the apartments waiting for a ride when they were approached by
three men. Some conversation started between the men and then shots
were fired.
Investigators said they found a wallet containing the Florida Identification
and Social Security cards belonging to Davis near the shooting scene. Davis
was arrested Thursday on an outstanding capias and interviewed by detec-
tives, who said he admitted to being involved in the killing but was not the
shooter.
Davis also told detectives the suspects originally intended to commit a
robbery.
Hutchison, who was also interviewed regarding her involvement in the
case, admitted that she drove three people to the complex and that one of
them was armed with a rifle, police said. She also told detectives that she
heard three shots fired before picking up the three people and drove away
from the scene, according to police.
Investigators said they believe Dukes and Humphries were the shooters.
They said one had a rifle and the other had a handgun.
Dukes was arrested in Marion County. He is expected to be brought back
to Jacksonville next week.

Bill de Blasio was an afterthought in
the New York City mayoral race a short
time ago. Now, the is a front-runner.
Presently, DeBlasio is the city’s public
advocate and the most liberal member
of the Democratic field in an effort to
replace Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
DeBlasio has been a vocal critic of
New York’s Police Department, wants
to raise taxes on the richest citizens to
pay for pre-kindergarten programs. He
has placed his interracial family at the
center of his campaign and surged in
the polls after Anthony Weiner’s sup-
port collapsed.
The mayoral candidate says people
want a ‘real change” after 12 years of
Bloomberg.
The primary is September 10, 2013.
With President Obama seeking to provide better educational opportunities, the Florida and Georgia
are grateful as they too help our youth. See Page 3.

Little Meechie was in an early school
age learning program that he enjoyed
very much, especially his teacher. As
an only child, he was extremely excited
when he was told he was getting a baby
brother or sister.
Every morning he would talk with his
teacher about the baby coming. One
day he asked his mother how much
longer will it take before the baby
comes. At that point, his mother felt
the baby move and told him to touch her stomach to feel the baby
kicking. Little Meechie did so and immediately went to his room.
The next morning he had nothing to say to the teacher. He appeared
to be sad or just not feeling well so, the teacher asked him, “Little
Meechie, how is your baby brother or sister coming along?” Little
Meechie, with tears rolling down his face said, “It’s not coming, my
mother ate it.”
The civil rights move-
ment in the United States
during the late 1950s and
1960s was the political,
legal, and social struggle
to gain full citizenship
rights for black Americans
and to achieve racial
equality. Individuals and
civil rights organizations
challenged segregation
and discrimination using a
variety of activities,
including protest marches,
boycotts, and refusal to
abide by segregation laws.
On August 28, 1963,
more than 250,000 demon-
strators descended upon
the nation’s capital to par-
ticipate in the “March on
Washington for Jobs and
Freedom.” Not only was it
the largest demonstration
for human rights in United
States history, but it also
occasioned a rare display
of unity among the various
civil rights organizations.
The event began with a
rally at the Washington
Monument featuring sev-
eral celebrities and musi-
cians. Participants then
marched the mile-long
National Mall to the
Memorial. The three-hour
long program at the
Lincoln Memorial includ-
ed speeches from promi-
nent civil rights and reli-
gious leaders. The day
ended with a meeting
between the march leaders
and President John F.
Kennedy at the White
House.
The idea for the 1963
March on Washington was
envisioned by A. Philip
Randolph, a Jacksonville,
Florida native, and a long-
time civil rights activist
dedicated to improving the
economic condition of
black Americans. When
Randolph first proposed
the march in late 1962, he
received little response
from other civil rights
leaders. He knew that
cooperation would be dif-
ficult because each had his
own agenda for the civil
rights movement, and the
leaders competed for fund-
ing and press coverage.
Success of the March on
Washington would depend
on the involvement of the
so-called “Big Six”—
Randolph and the heads of
the five major civil rights
organizations: Roy
Wilkins of the National
Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP);
Whitney Young, Jr., of the
National Urban League;
Rev. Martin Luther King,
Jr., of the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC);
James Farmer of the
Conference of Racial
Equality (CORE); and
John Lewis of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC).
The details and organiza-
tion of the march were
handled by Bayard Rustin,
Randolph’s trusted associ-
ate. Rustin was a veteran
activist with extensive
experience in putting
together mass protest.
With only two months to
plan, Rustin established
his headquarters in
Harlem, NY, with a small-
er office in Washington.
He and his core staff of
200 volunteers quickly put
together the largest peace-
ful demonstration in U.S.
history.

Starting Off the School Year as a Champion
Why is it important to be at the top of your
game to start a new school year? The number
one reason why it is imperative to start a new
school year at the top of your game is so you can
finish strong at the end of the year. If you walk
in your first day of school prepared, focused,
and ready to work you will end your school year
as a champion. As a student, adults always tell
you education is the key to your future. Indeed it
is, performing well in school can unlock a world of possibilities.
However, before you can reach the highest of your goals, you must finish
school as a champion. Here are ten of my personal tips on how to start the
school year strong and end as a champion.
1. Get a good night’s rest.
2. Eat a good healthy breakfast in the morning.
3. Say a small prayer before you start your day and ask God to bless
you as you embark on a new journey.
4. Wear one of your best outfits, so you can feel confident and prepared
for a victory.
5. Before walking into the school doors, remind yourself how special
you are.
6. Walk into class with a positive attitude.
7. Find a seat in the front of the classroom, so your teacher will know
that you are focused and ready to receive knowledge.
8. Meet at least three new people in your class to see if you have any-
thing in common.
9. Pay attention when the teacher is giving you all class rules and pro-
cedures.
10. End your day with a conversation with your parent or guardian
about your action plan for this school year.
Stay tuned for Kicking Back with Kelsey…..

Remember the March on Washington? August 28, 1963. Tens of thousands of activists on
the National Mall. A preacher's son from Atlanta talking about his dream for the country,
said Mr. Ben Jealous of the NAACP.
We don't need a history lesson. Even if we weren't at the March itself - even for those like
me, who were not yet born - Dr. King's words are etched into our minds as deeply as they are
inscribed in stone at the base of his memorial. The preacher's son has taken his rightful place
in the pantheon of national heroes.
We don't need to watch a rerun of that fateful day. We need a sequel.
On Saturday, August 24th, the NAACP is co-hosting a sequel to the March on Washington for
Jobs and Justice: the 2013 March on Washington. The march begins at 8:00 am, at the steps
of the Lincoln Memorial. Join us.
If this year has shown us anything, it's that the work of the 1963 march is not yet finished.
Texas and South Carolina are sprinting forward with voter ID after the Supreme Court gutted
the Voting Rights Act. African American unemployment has flat lined. Our children are
gunned down each and every day in senseless acts of violence. Trayvon Martin lies in the
ground after one such senseless act.
At the same time, our culture of civic engagement is experiencing a renaissance. In the past
month, hundreds of cities held vigils and rallies to protest the Zimmerman verdict. The nation
is having a serious conversation about racial profiling for the first time since 9/11. In North
Carolina, Moral Mondays has grown larger with each passing week. On this fiftieth anniver-
sary of the March on Washington, we should celebrate our history, but it's more important
that we never stop making history. Meet us at the Lincoln Memorial. Join us on August
24th.
Making History... Again

E kaabo (eh-kah-bow). Welcome.
Charlotte Dwight StewartSeptember 28, 1922-August 14, 2013
lady n. A well-mannered and considerate woman with high standards of proper behavior.
A lady. Gracious. Sophisticated. Charming.
Charlotte Dwight Stewart personified all the words that simply describe a lady. She always had a pleasant smile
and kind things to say. She enjoyed attending social events, which is why she was perfect as social columnist for
The Florida Star from 1980 to 2002. Clara McLaughlin, The Florida Star’s publisher, says when she bought the
paper Charlotte told her that she would continue writing the column until she was eighty! True to her word, she
retired in 2002 handing over the pen to the late Betty Asque Davis, who passed the pen to me.
I don’t remember when I last saw Charlotte. It may have been at Jazzland Café, a special evening when sons
Michael and Dennis and daughter-in-law Linda brought her to a performance of Longineu Parsons and Nat Adderly
Jr. last November. She was like a queen in audience with her subjects as person after person stopped by to speak or
give hugs and kisses during intermission. I always told her, “I want to be like you when I grow up!”
Charlotte Christine Dwight was born in Jacksonville on September 28, 1922 to David H. Dwight Sr. and wife
Florida Rebecca. She attended local schools, graduating from Boylan Haven School for Girls in 1939.
In 1943, she graduated from the former Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College (FAMC, which would be-
come FAMU) with the bachelor of science degree. She later completed educational certifications from Northwestern
University and University of Colorado.
For thirty-seven years, Charlotte Stewart worked for the Duval County Public Schools as a physical education
teacher and guidance counselor. After retirement she continued in the field of education working as a
teacher and counselor in Adult Services for Florida Junior College, now Florida State College at Jack-
sonville.
Her career accomplishments also included working as a Congressional Aide to Congresswoman Cor-
rine Brown (1996 – 1998) and an outside sales travel counselor with American Express Travel.
Charlotte was a dedicated steward of the African American community and gave back in many ways:
- Chaired many programs involving African American youth as a member of the Arts Assembly of Jack-
sonville, predecessor to today’s Cultural Council of Jacksonville, Inc.
- Member of the cosmetology section of the Florida Professional Regulations Board.
- Served as a member of the American Lung Association in Florida, Jacksonville
- Founder of the David H. Dwight Sr. Memorial Committee for Scouting
- Member of the Circle of Three, with Camilla Thompson and the late Dr. Hortense Gray, who researched
and developed a slide presentation of the history of African Americans in Jacksonville. The group pre-
sented “An Oral Black History of Jacksonville from 1925-1959” to organizations throughout the city.
- As a devoted member of Historic Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, she served in many leadership positions,
including Trustee
She was the recipient of numerous awards and certificates from organizations such as Bethel Baptist
Institutional Church, United Negro College Fund, Baker Correctional Institution, University of North
Florida, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, and the J.P. Small Foundation Scholarship Hall of Fame.
Her social activities included membership in the Smart Set and Entre Nous Bridge Clubs
and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.
Charlotte Stewart was a devoted wife of the late Dennis Stewart Sr. She enjoyed a close
relationship with her sons, Dennis Stewart Jr. (Linda) and Michael D. Stewart. She will be
remembered tenderly by daughter-in-law Lydia Stewart; grandchildren Marcus, Patrick,
Maya, Eros, and Cherub Stewart; great-grandchildren Khari, Amani, Noah, Alexis, and Zaria;
siblings Lydia Wooden and David H. Dwight Jr. (Bettye); beloved friend Iona King; and ex-
tended family.
The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2013 at Historic
Mt. Zion AME Church, 201 E. Beaver St., Jacksonville, Florida 32202.
Funeral services will be held at Historic Mt. Zion at 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 24 under
the direction of Hillman-Pratt & Walton Funeral Home, 525 W. Beaver St., (904) 354-1651.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Charlotte Stewart’s memory
to the building fund of Historic Mt. Zion AME Church.
While Charlotte’s presence will be missed, our fond memories of her will live forever.

Back to School Safety!
Fall is just around the corner and so is the time for children across the coun-
try to start going back to school. The first week of school may produce heavy
pedestrian traffic as well as vehicular traffic.
Drivers should be mindful of the following:
• Many students will be walking to school along the county’s roadways
• Expect heavy traffic back-ups in school zones
• Parents should have children ride school busses when bus routes are avail-
able – alleviating unnecessary traffic in school zones
• Motorists should avoid school zones if at all possible
• Be patient and drive carefully
• The first few weeks of school are always extra busy so leave yourself plenty
of time to travel
• Reduce or eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate
on the
road and your surroundings
• Put down the phone
• Do not text and drive
• Adults who drive children to school should leave early to avoid the rush.
• Vehicles must stop for all school buses when the stop sign is out and lights
are flashing. This is true even if the bus is on the opposite side of the street
unless a median more than four feet wide divides the road.
• Teach children to catch the eye of drivers when walking in front of a school
bus.
• Always drive slowly in school zones and pay close attention to crossing
guards.
What to do with your children:
• Plan a safe route for your children to take to school and walk it with your
child so you will know that they are comfortable with it. Also plan an alter-
nate route in case it should become necessary.
• Whenever possible, it's best to walk with other children.
• Be sure that your children know their address, phone number, and a work
number for Mom or Dad. Also be sure the child knows how and when to
use 911.
• If your child will be home alone after school, make sure that he calls you
or a designated contact person as soon as they arrive home.
• Make sure your children are comfortable talking to you about anything
that makes them feel uneasy or uncomfortable while away from home such
as persons acting suspicious on their way to and from school or if they feel
bullied by other children.
• Teach your children that it is okay to say "no." Tell them to trust their in-
stincts.

Man Tries to Rob Gas Station with Fake Gun and
Fails to Open Cash Register
At approximately 9:43 p.m., officers re-
sponded to a report of a robbery at a gas station.
Investigation revealed that a male subject had
come into the business, attempted to cover his
face with a yellow t-shirt, and had demanded
money from the clerk. The suspect pointed with
a hand covered by a hat at first and then pulled
out what was later discovered to be cardboard
covered in tin foil, and pointed it like a gun at
the clerk. The suspect struggled to open the cash register and ended
up taking a donation can containing change from the counter. He
then fled on a bicycle. No one was injured in the incident.
The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Timothy E. Foster was
located in the shed of a local residence. He was taken into custody
by patrol officers and a K-9 dog.
Foster was charged with charged with strong arm robbery.

Inmates Try to Smuggle Heroine
Through Mail
30-year-old inmate
David Michael Gavin was
being prepared for trans-
port and transfer to an-
other jail. Investigators
say detention officers
began to grow suspicious
when Gavin began to ask
every officer and jail em-
ployee he saw or passed
to help him get his mail.
Mail room clerks were
asked to examine Gavin’s
mail more closely. Four
pieces of stamped mail
were initially found ad-
dressed to Gavin and
closer examination of the
pieces revealed small
square pieces of orange
paper concealed behind
each of the postage
stamps.
The contents of the en-
velopes were provided to
the inmate for his jail
transport and detectives
retained the envelope to
begin their investigation so they can iden-
tify the substance behind the stamps.
Through their subsequent investiga-
tion, detectives discovered additional pieces
of mail addressed to Gavin, as well as other
pieces of mail addressed to 30-year-old in-
mate Jermonte Rushing, which had the same
type of orange paper concealed behind the
stamps and appeared to have similar hand-
writing to the letters addressed to Gavin.
Research and testing of the “orange
paper” determined the substance to be sub-
oxone or “heroin in a breath strip.” Detec-
tives further described the substance to be
an opiate in the form of a sublingual film.
The investigation further revealed
that Gavin recruited his cell mate Rushing
to have the mail sent to him in exchange for
payment and that the two sold/distributed
the contraband to other inmates at the jail.
Investigators say that each stamps was sold
for $20 and that each stamp was five dosage
units if cut into five individual strips.
Through their investigation, detec-
tives were able to identify 29-year-old Kait-
lyn Pergola as the source of supply of
suboxone to Gavin and Rushing. Detectives
say she used two fictitious return addresses
that were later connected to her. Police also
say Pergola is Gavin’s girlfriend.
Pergola was arrested and during her
interview with detectives, Pergola admitted
to the crime. She was taken to jail without
further incident.
Gavin and Rushing were both
charged with introduction/possession of
contraband in a county detention facility.
Pergola was charged with two counts of in-
troduction/possession of contraband in a
county detention facility and violation of
probation.
Since the investigation began on Au-
gust 1, 2013, detectives intercepted a total
of 11 pieces of mail containing the con-
trolled substance.
The investigation continues.

Man Mistakenly Pulls Out Knife on
Officer
A man was ar-
rested after pulling out
a knife on an offi-cer
outside a court-
house.
Investigation re-
vealed that the suspect,
identified as 56-year-
old Larry Jackson, had
been walking along a sidewalk right next to
a courthouse. An officer had been walking
in the same direction, directly behind Jack-
son, as he headed towards the parking
garage. While walking, Jackson suddenly
turned around towards the officer who was
not in uniform nor on duty at the time. Jack-
son dropped a green towel that had con-
cealed his knife and took an aggressive
stance towards the officer with the knife in
his right hand. Jackson yelled, "What?!" at
the officer, who then identified himself as
law enforcement and drew his firearm. At
that point, Jackson dropped his knife and
complied with the officer’s orders and other
officers who arrived on scene.
Records show that Jackson has been
in and out of jail for the last 10 years for
charges including burglary, grand theft, and
petty theft.
Jackson was arrested and charged
with one count of aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon without intent to kill. He is
being held on $5,000 bond.

PD Office Assists Local Students withBack to School Efforts
Jacksonville, Fl (August 16, 2013): As the 2013 school year starts, students from Clay and Duval counties will benefit from the dedicated efforts provided
by the employees of the Office of Public Defender Matt Shirk. Over the past few weeks, attorneys and support staff from the office have participated in
multiple school supply drives and an educational program, all in the interest of improving the lives of public school children.
Each summer, the PD Office organizes a school supply drive to benefit children in homeless families called ‘Stuff the Bus for Sulzbacher.’ Adding to the tra-
dition, the office also collected gently used children’s clothing. On Wednesday (8/14) APD Melina Buncome, Legal Assistant Rhonda Patrick and Chief
APD Refik Eler delivered several boxes of supplies to the Sulzbacher Center (right). This year, the Clay County office carried on the tradition of holding
school supply drive to benefit underprivileged students at C.E. Bennett Elementary School in Green Cove Springs. Legal Assistant Beth Frill delivered the
dozens school supplies collected by the Clay County staff. The PD Office, along with multiple other organizations, is also participating in the State Attorney’s
Office: Back to School Event by colleting and donating school supplies to benefit local families in the Juvenile Diversion Program.
In an effort to promote a better understanding of how school aged children are affected by the legal system, Juvenile Director Rob Mason and APD Courtney
Drew (pictured, left) educated personnel at Duval County Public Schools on collateral consequences of juvenile arrests.
More than 50 officers from the Duval County School Police Department participated in the hour long forum. The duo
explained to officers that when a young person is charged criminally, he or she will likely face serious complications
with future financial aid needs, the ability to obtain a drivers license, acceptance to college and immigration status among
other things.

Suns Take Two Games
From Barons, Leave For
Road
Miles College Establishes Golf Program in 2013
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
— The Jacksonville Suns
(32-21, 67-54) finished
off their five-game series
against the Birmingham
Barons (27-28, 71-54)
with a walk-off hit in the
tenth inning of game four,
followed by a 7-1 rain-
shortened victory in the
series finale at Bragan
Field.
Before playing the fifth
and final game of the
series, the Suns and
Barons needed to finish a
game suspended in
Saturday’s early morning
hours due to league cur-
few. Scoreless into the
tenth inning, Jacksonville
earned a series victory
when Austin Barnes sin-
gled home Michael Main
with the winning run.
The 1-0 Suns win pro-
pelled Jacksonville into
the finale, where left-han-
der Andrew Heaney sur-
rendered only a solo
home run while the Suns
offense exploded.
Jacksonville, down 1-0,
took the lead in the bot-
tom half of the first
inning on Derek
Dietrich’s three-run home
run and never relin-
quished the advantage.
Barnes’ RBI single made
it a 4-1 Suns lead in the
second, and the home
squad plated three more
runs in the third to finish
off the night’s scoring.
Heaney, meanwhile,
struck out four batters
over five innings, while
allowing just two hits.
After the left-hander
retired Keenyn Walker
for the final out in the
fifth, the game was sent
into a rain delay and ulti-
mately called final once
the weather did not let up.
The Suns now head out
on the road for an 11-
game, ten day road trip in
Chattanooga and
Montgomery. The trip
begins against the
Lookouts on Sunday,
with right-hander
Anthony DeSclafani (4-3,
3.65) set to make the start
for Jacksonville. The
Lookouts will go with
right-hander Duke von
Schamann (3-4, 4.92).
First pitch is scheduled
for 5:15 p.m. ET.
Suns fans can listen to
Sunday’s game on the
Suns Baseball Network,

beginning at 5:15 p.m.

Rolle Takes Office in Atlanta as Youngest
Bahamas Consul General for JurisdictionBy Arthia Nixon, Press Secretary
Bahamas Consulate General Atlanta
(Atlanta, Georgia) With the city of Atlanta repeatedly
making the list as one of the top ten North American
cities for young professionals/CEO’s in Forbes and
BizJournal, the appointment of Randy C. Rolle as
Consul General to the Bahamas Consulate of Atlanta
speaks to the area’s abundance of youth-led compa-
nies and organizations.
Since taking officially taking office in July 2013,
Rolle has already been busy representing The
Commonwealth of The Bahamas in different forums.
He also has been pursuing opportunities in several fields such as investment, educa-
tion, trade and economy, entertainment and films, athletics and more.
“The focus is not just Atlanta even though our office is based there,” explained Rolle
at a recent briefing. “Our region includes Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas,
Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Based
on findings of a recent focus group, we are learning that quite a few Bahamians living
in our jurisdiction do not know we represent them or understand the purpose of having
a consulate office. Many assume it is simply for passports or for students and it is
much more than that. We’ve already begun implementing ways to connect the diaspora
to our office so that we can mutually be abreast of what is going on at home and abroad
as it pertains to our citizens.”
Prior to this post, Rolle, received his professional education from Bethune Cookman
College and Johnson & Whales University, worked in the hospitality industry. As a
1998 recipient of the Caribbean Hotel Association scholarship, he was afforded oppor-
tunities to travel to Europe and North America as a Bahamian representative. He also
was a stellar sales executive at Atlantis’ Harborside Resort, rounding off the highest
sales volumes for 2003, coinciding with him heading the special operations depart-
ment he implemented. Just before his appointment, Rolle was certified as a project
manager and worked with The Ministry of Tourism Bahamas.
SHELLY ANN MAKES HISTORY
Rihanna Sued Over Grandmother’s
Unpaid Funeral Expenses A Barbados furneral arrangement company is

Dolly (Clara Brathwaite) who died of cancer

By Mike Bonts
For the first time in school history,
Miles College will offer golf as a
sponsored sport the school recently
announced. The Golden Bears will
begin its inaugural season during the
2013-2014 school year.
“This new golf team is a great oppor-
tunity for Miles College to show yet
another component of the culture,
class and civility that we instill in
our students.” says President George
T. French. “It is a testament of the
standard of excellence that we
expect from our students academi-
cally and holistically”.
Being charged with the task of build-
ing the Golden Bear program is first
year head coach Leonard Smoot. A
24-year retired veteran of United
States Marine Corps (USMC),
Smoot brings over 20 years of com-
petitive golf experience. He has sev-
eral top-10 finishes in competitive
tournaments throughout Southeast
Asia and Europe, including wins at
the Wago Championship (Okinawa,
Japan) as well as the Staff & Officer
Championship (Awase, Japan). In
2002, Smoot became just the third
African-American to make the
United States Marines Golf Team.
Since 2008, he also has served as a
mentor/coach for the Professional
Women’s Golf Association while
also previously serving in various
roles for many regional golf tourna-
ments, including the South Region
Minority Supplier Development
Council Golf Classic (SRMSDC),
the Museum of Urban Art Golf
Tournament, the Stillman College
Scholarship Golf Tournament, and
Alabama Leadership Foundation
Golf Classic.
“I’m very excited to be a part of
establishing the golf program at
Miles College. Adding golf provides
a distinguished opportunity for the
institution to have a positive impact
on the lives of young adults and
potentially open doors for them that
may not have, otherwise, been avail-
able,” says Smoot, who has also
been a competitive boxer for over 30
years, including competing as a
member of the USMC boxing team,
and serving as a boxing coach.
The Miles College golf team will
take part in non-competitive events
during the fall semester, beginning
with the National Black College Hall
of Fame Golf Invitational,
September 27th-29th in Atlanta, GA.
The Golden Bears’ season will offi-
cially begin in spring 2014.
“The motto for our golf team this
season will be P.M.A., which stands
for Positive Mental Attitude. What
this means is that regardless of the
situation, we want our student-ath-
letes to have a positive mental atti-
tude as well as the will to win,
whether it’s on the golf course, in the
classroom, or just functioning in
society,” Smoot stated.
Coach Smoot states that he has
already successfully recruited four
players, two from Atlanta, GA and
two from Kimberly, AL, that are set
to enroll as freshmen this fall and
will look to add more golfers to the
team prior to the start of the upcom-
ing season.
“My goal is to find good kids that
want to receive a quality education.
We want to develop a successful golf
program that can compete for SIAC
Championships as well as NCAA
Division II Championships,” says
Smoot.
For inquiries about the Miles
College golf program, contact Head
Coach Leonard Smoot by email at
[email protected] or by phone at
