There is no rivalry in high school football that can come close to the annual Blake-Middleton game. For the African American com­munity, this game means more than just wins and loses. It is one of the few remaining parts of Black his­tory in Tampa that hasn 't been destroyed.

For new Middleton High School principal, Owen Young, the game holds a special place in his heart.

Not only was Young a stu­dent at Middleton when it was a middle school, his dad, Arthur Green, is a Middleton alumnus from the era ·when the rivalry was at · its peak.

''I'm very clear about the competitive nature of the schools. Although some stu­dents don't know the history,

Young said both schools stand as iconic standards and represent the struggle

and what Black people had to go through.

"Today, none of us can imagine what it was like being told if you were Black, you could attend only two

high schools in Tampa at that time."

"Although those conditions did exist, it did not diminish the quality of education the students received, or the

quality of the teachers pro­viding that education."

Young said he sees anoth­er Tiger victory and for Blake principal, Jackie Haynes, to bring it on.

Father Of Twins Surrenders After Murdering Their Mother ~ -1 m

Saquanda Simon, 30, fig­ured she had endured enough turmoil in her life, and it was time for her to concentrate on raising her four children and her medical career. But she never thought her failure to return calls to the father of her twins, Cedrick Salter, 28, would result in her death.

According to the Hillsbor­ough County Sheriffs Office, Salter came over to Simon's Grant Park home Tuesday night to confront her about her failure to return his phone calls and some pending court action.

Investigalurs said Salter forced his way into Simon's home through a laundry room, and confronted her. The couple argued while Simon held one of their 18-month-old twins. As Simon turned away from Salter, he reportedly fired three shots, striking Simon twice. He fled the home after the shooting.

Simon's aunt, Debra Jackson, rushed over to the house and performed CPR on her niece, but was not success­ful. Simon was pronounced dead at the scene.

Salter surrendered to authorities Wednesday night and was charged with first­degree murder and armed burglary.

Salter, also known as Woogie, was one of the origi­nal members of a local group called the U-Haul Boys.

According to Debra Jack­son, the couple started seeing each other about 7 years ago.

"He was very jealous and had threatened her before. He didn't have to do this."

SaQuanda was a graduate of Brandon High School and according to her aunt, Debra, had always wanted to get into nursing.

She attended the Galen Nursing School, and a year ago she got her certification as a registered nurse. She had

"SaQuanda had gone through a lot in her personal life, and being a registered nurse was a big turnaround for her," said Debra Jackson.

"She just wanted to be a good mom for her kids. Cedrick gave no thought to the children when he did this. She was holding one of their twins when he shot her."

"Her 10-year-old daughter, Shareece, woke up asking for her mother. This is really painful for all of us."

Saquanda's mother, Arlene Jackson, said all that matters to me is they caught him. I don't want them have any mercy on him.

Debra Jackson said now that Salter is in jail, she feels he needs to get the death penalty.

"He didn't care that she was holding one of their children when he shot her. I don't want him breathing the same air as the rest of us. There's still a long way to go, but at least he's in jail and off the streets."

The family has contacted Everett, Derr, and Anderson Funeral Home to assist them with funeral arrangements. ,

Prior to the speech, President Obama's dis­tracters accused him of attempting to "indoctrinate students into his socialist plans." Many parents refused to allow their children to hear the speech.

During the speech, President Obama talked about being raised by a single mother and how she impressed the need of a -good education upon him.

President Obama said, "Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to your­self to discover what that is ... And no matter what you want to do in life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it."

Some Middleton High School students listened to President Obama's speech and shared their opinions.

Kylila Bullard, 17, said, "I thought his speech was very inspiring. It gave kids more of a purpose to do well in school. It also shows how much of a difference each one of us can make."

Kylila is a senior who plans to attend West Point and earn

a degree in Computer Science. Her future plans include working in the Cyber Space Security field.

Of the controversy she said, "I think that just proves that America is still racist. Other presidents have addressed students, so why make such a big deal when President Obama does the same thing? He is doing more than any­one to try and help everybody and keep the people informed."

William Cross, 17, is also a senior and plans to attend Florida A & M University. His futu-re plans are to major in business administration and minor in political science. His future includes entering the

political arena. William said, "I thought it

was very moving, motivation­al, and informative to us stu­dents as to what we need to do to become successful in life ."

Concerning the controversy William said, "I think peo­ple may have received the wrong ideas and thought his speech would be full of sub­liminal messages about his health care plan because other presidents have done that before."

Seventeen-year-old Naya Young said, "I thought it was very motivational and it was a good speech, some kids need a little push. You can hear it from your parents and teach-

N aya, who plans to attend Howard University as a Pre­Medicine student said, "I really thought the controver­sy was very unnecessa ry. It was blown up and it shouldn't have been. There was no need for people to take it the way they did. He just wanted to motivate us."

Mia Carr, 17, who is a junior, plans to become a business owner in the future. After graduation, she wants to become a cosmetologist

with her own shop. After accomplishing that goal she plans to continue her educa­tion.

Mia said, "I think the speech was encouraging and helpful. It really showed that President Obama is con­cerned about all students at all schools."

Of the controversy she said, "It was unnecessary. Parents should have accepted it as the helpfulness President Obama was trying to offer." (Photographs by BRUN­SON).

NAACP President Resigns, Citing Familv Time

CURTIS STOKES ... Resigns as President of Hillsborough County Branch NAACP.

BY IRIS B. HOLTON Sentinel City Editor

Curtis Stokes, President of the Hillsborough County NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), has resigned as head of the organization . He stated his reason for resigning was to spend more time with his family .

"I need to spend more time with my family. My son is in middle school now, and I just need to concentrate on the family. I enjoyed my time as president and I hope that I had a positive impact. I believe that Carolyn Collins will do a great job."

The resignation took effect on Tuesday, September 8th. Dr. Carolyn Collins, who is currently the First Vice President, will succeed him.

Stokes was elected to a second term of two years as the President last year. He began serving his second term in January 2009.

In his letter of resignation Stokes said, "It is with great sadness that I submit this let­ter of resignatiofl as the President of the Hillsborough County Branch of the National Associaticn of the Advancement of Colored People effective September 8, 2009. I have faithfully served the organization in a variety of leadership roles since 2004.

"I have served as member­ship chair, 1st Vice President and as President since November 2006. As you all know the financial services industry has changed consid­erably since I became presi­dent, coupled with my respon-

DR. CAROLYN COLLINS ... To assume role as President of Hillsborough County Branch NAACP.

sibilities as a father and hus­band I do not have the capaci­ty to fulfill my role at this time. I want to personally thank you for allowing me to serve."

According to the NAACP by­laws, Dr. Carolyn Collins will be elevated to the position of president. Dr. Sam Wright, who is currently the 2nd Vice President, will become 1st Vice President, and Ms. Dorothy Nettles, who is 3rd Vice President, Will become the 2nd Vice President. The 3rd Vice President seat is open as a result of Stokes' resignation.

Dr. Carolyn Collins said, "When you ;:tccept the position of 1st vice p·resident, you've got to be prepared to step in if necessary. We'll move forward and do what needs to be done. If you don't believe it's neces­sary for the NAACP to contin­ue to exist, all we have to do is just look at the things that have transpired over the past year. It looks like we have done more regression than progression. Someone has to be the conscience for all mankind."

"Curtis will still be with us and we need people in the community to come to us and work with us to make it better in their communities. There is still work to be done in hous­ing, education, health care, and exposing our young children to the things they need.

The NAACP has been in existence for more than too years and we will continue using our call to action to do what we have need to do local­ly," Dr. Collins said.

Pontius Pilate And The President's Speech

''W hen Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multi­tude, saying, 'I am innocent of the blood of this

person: see ye to it" (Matt, 27:24). Now the Hillsborough County Superintendent and many other school superinten­dents across America know how it feels to be on the wrong side of history, simply because they would not stand for what they knew was right.

And it was all because of an innocent 18-minute speech, a speech that totaled less than 3,000 words, which the President of the United States gave to the children of America.

To their credit, Hillsborough County Schools' superinten­dent MaryEllen Elia and the School Board said they'd read President Obama's presentation and decided it conveyed a ."healthy, nonpartisan message." But the credit stopped there.

To their discredit, Hillsborough County Schools along with many other schools and school systems throughout America refused to recommend an across-the-board accep­tance of the President's speech ..

Instead, like Pontius Pilate in the face of another situa­tion, many years ago, top education administrators and their comrades "washed their hands" of an opportunity wherein they might not only have sent a message of sanity and support to their students, but would have proven to a watchful world that the leaders of America's schools had indeed, cast off their cloaks. But that .was not to be.

Even though school children by the thousands applauded President Obama's supportive and kindly speech, certain disgruntled voices could not bring themselves to accept the truth. And in America, Pontius Pilate felt right at home.

American Graduation Rates. 'Disgraceful

W e applaud President Obarila. His address to America's school children and to anyone else cur­rently enrolled in school was not only timely, but

was motivating and necessary. Given our nation's unbeliev­ably dismal high school graduation rates, the continuous drain of skilled job opportunities to the outside, and the sad quality of many of our high school graduates, the President's message was a loving reminder that we all must do more to improve the education and workforce skills of our youth.

So, with the President's words in mind, we took a look at the graduation rates in the United States. Interestingly enough, only two states with the highest graduation rates overall (81 to 93 percent) were among the states with the highest graduation rates for Black students. West Virginia and Massachusetts tied for the top of the list on both accounts. Florida's graduation and Black graduation record, lagged behind the state of Mississippi, which itself was at the bottom of the barrel.

What seems to be the problem? Why have two of America's smallest states consistently turned out a superior high school graduation product? In an attempt to answer these and other bedeviling questions, we have a suggestion. Send a "Blue-Ribbon" fact-finding committee, not to Las Vegas, but to West Virginia and Massachusetts. See what those states are doing effectively. Then copy them!

Because He Is A Democrat Or Because He Is Black

M any Republicans want President Barack Obama to fa il as

President of the United States. How do I know? Because so

many of them have publicly said so. I know that to be true and you know that to be true, too.

The question is, do they want him t o fai l b eca use h e is a Democrat or do they want him to fail because he is Black?

I have come to believe that it is a combination of the two. Politi cally, the majority of Republicans are opposed to anything the Obama Administration tries to do. It is a fact that President Obama went to the White House deter­mined to create a bi-partisan atmosphere. It is obvious the Republicans came with a deter­mination not to be a part of any bi-partisan movement.

The majority of whatever President Obama has been able to get done in Washington so far, has been done with almost no Republican support.

Republicans have opposed

his appointees , his stimulus package, hi s aut o industry bailout , his bank bailout , his Supreme Court nominee, his foreign policies, his handling of th e wa rs in Ira q a nd Afgh ani s t an , a mon g other things.

Th ey h ave opp os ed hi s healthcare reform efforts , and they didn't want him to talk to our children. They have accused President

Obama of not being an American citizen in spite of de­finite proof. They have com­pared him to Hitler, painted his face white , compared him to an ape and, in general, criti­cized his every move.

Republicans have also devel­oped a selective case of amne­sia. They can no longer remem­ber the mess this country was left in by the last President, Republican, George W. Bush. Instead, they fool them­selves into believing that this whole economic, political, mili­tary and social mess is the fault of President Barack Obama.

When The People $peak! I fyou ask historians, they'll

tell you. It isn 't the big things that turn the world,

but the little so-called insignif­. icant things that set the world on its ear. Take, for instance, what happened at County Commission meeting , last week.

Wearing sneakers and kitchen aprons ... sporting shorts and T-shirts , a motley crowd of senior citizens and community activists of all . stripes, sizes and colors con­verged on already overbur­dened County Commissioners - Commissioner Kevin White included - to demand that the County listen and then save the citizens' North 22nd Street road widening project.

No, they did not come to talk about county commissioners' aides assaulted in a sexual harassment scandal. Neither did they come questioning the logic nor wisdom .of county employee cuts, which from a distance seemed more person­al than fiscal. Instead, citizens raised a hue and cry about streets. _ their street ... 22nd Street!

Said Rev. Don Grantham, pastor of University Baptist Church, in his full sermonic voice, "We've been told engi­neering plans are completed and most of the land needed

has been obtained." County Commissioners sat watching him like kindly cats charming a canary. The reverend contin­ued, "I hope this is not a sign that-the County is reneging or backpedaling on revitalization efforts." Then his two minutes

. were up. He sat down. But as quickly as the pastor took his seat , another 22nd Street Patriot jumped in his place. And the demonstration contin­ued.

During the past 15 years, the backbone of 22nd Street as it stretched above Fowler Avenue, had found itself carry­ing an increasing load. The load included new schools, and a slew of new community ser­vice centers, parks and apart­ment complexes. Without widening, not only has 22nd Street become a joke for them who used it, but it had deterio­rated into a traffic hazard to be avoided whenever possible.

Consequently, the recent convergence by North Tampa and so-called "Suitcase City" residents on a county commis­sion meeting was more than simply an exercise in good citi­zenship. It was indeed, a cry for help!

Assured an intense and unblinking Commission Chairman Ken Hagan, "One way or the other, this

"T! :0 c

I att ribute all of the propa- }.( ga nda by Republi ca ns to be en because President Obama is m a Democrat . But let's look at ~ the slandering propaganda a ~ little closer and we may find m that some of this is because he m is Black. :0 ...

So many Republicans don 't ....., refer to Mr. Obama as our N president, my president or the President of the United States. Instead, they refer to him as simply 'Obama' or 'this presi­dent.' That is both intentional and disrespectful.

Republicans constantly make race-based remarks and create race-based drawings about and of President Obama. Many of these comments and draw­ings just drip with hate. It is hate-based upon the President being Black.

The First Lady, Michelle Obama, has been nothing short of a sweetheart since she became the Lady of the White House. She has become a fash­ion statement for style and fashion. Most everybody, Black and white, love her. Still, there

Could a judge decide Hillsborough County is indeed liable for restitution of Alyssa Ogden and her attorney thereby making the widening of 22na Street even more of a pipe dream?

Citizens Respond To President Obama's Healthcare Speech BY IRIS B. HOLTON Sentinel City Editor

Up until ~ last evening I was unaware ~ of just what the plan consist­a ed of, but now that he has en spelled it out and made ~ assurances where the fund­~ ing is concerned, I am hop­~ ing more people will see the w light and embrace it."

la id all th e marbl es on th e table and invited both par­ties to play so that we all can benefit. "

Les Miller, Jr., said, "I think the president laid out exclusively what he wanted for the people of this country, access to doctors, insurance that will not drop them if they come down with a catastro­phic illness, and to make sure insurance companies are regulated.

"He cleared up the fact that there is no such thing as death panels and he explained that even with the $900 billion it would cost, it is still less than what we were spending in the Iraq War and it's less than the tax breaks given to the rich during the previous administration. He's just trying to give people insurance across the board."

"If people can get preventa­tive care, then they won't wait

until they have a catastrophic illness to go to the doctor. .. . The naysaye rs in Congress should come on board. They should work with him so that

. every citize n in this country will have insurance."

Ms. Ann Porter said, "I thought it was a sound, cost conscious and effective plan and so badly needed. The most important thought that I have was that the plan calls for additional services for the insured and the uninsured."

"The plan does not require one to change doctors, those with pre-existing illnesses cannot be cancelled, and the plan will call for more cover­age in examinations, tests, ex­rays, etc. It will offer afford­able insurance for all citizens and small businesses will not pay large amounts for their employees.

"I was proud to hear him

·Tamp·· a.

t a lk ab out th e myth s. The plan v.ri. ll not fund abortions, and it 's not a death panel. Another clarification he gave was th at th ere a re publi c options. Healthcare would be what the private and public section has offered to educa­tion. I thought it tremendous that every one will be offered a choice whether public or pri­vate."

Congresswoman Kathy Castor issued this statement: "Health insurance reform is vital to Florida families and businesses. The status quo is not working for too many of my neighbors and is too expensive. We need to bring competition to lower costs for our hard-working families and make insurance available to many more. No longer will insurance companies be able to deny you coverage if you get sick, they won't be able to charge you higher premiums because of medical history or current illness, if you change jobs, you can carry your policy with you, and you won't have to pay co-pays or deductibles for preventative care. And if you like your health insurance, you can keep it."

Prostate Cancer Month Strives To Create Awareness

BY LEON B. CREWS Sentinel StaffWriter

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month . The Men's Health Network is urging men to talk to their doctors about prostate cancer. They also encourage women to get involved and urge their husbands to request prostate screening, including a PSA test, from their doctor.

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, striking approximately 200,000 men each year. Every year, more than 27,000

African American men die from the disease, making it second only to lung cancer as the deadliest cancer in men.

Caught early, prostate can­cer can be treated, usually successfully. But because many men experience no symptoms, it is often identi­fied only by an abnormal result on a basic prostate can­cer screening.

Bob Samuels, a prostate

BOB SAMUELS Florida Prostate Cancer

Network Founder

cancer survivor and leader in the area when it comes to out­reach and creating awareness, said a lot of people still don't know prostate cancer exists.

"I visited the Moffitt Cancer recently, and it's sad an frus­

.trating to see that no real progress has been made on this health issue. It needs per­sonalized attention. I get sev­eral phone calls a week, and I have nowhere to refer them."

Mr. Samuels said prostate

cancer is not being taken seri­ous.

"Women have done a great job creating awareness about their diseases, but Black men don't want to talk about it or take part in creating aware­ness."

"It's that old macho pride that prevents African American men from having themselves checked out."

Mr. Samuels said he's sug­gested a panel discussion of African American males be put together consisting of high professionals who are now willing to talk about the disease.

"It's not a macho thing to ignore this problem. African American men need to under­stand that anything is worth sacrificing if it · means saving their life. They'd be surprised if they saw the list of popular Black men who've stepped forward and have become spokesmen.

"With all that said, it's still not enough."

East Tampa Resident savs Building Is Public Nuisance

BY LEON B. CREWS Sentinel Staff Writer

Martinez Wright loves his East Tampa community, and up until a few years ago, he never had any complaints . However, a building on the northeast corner of 34th Street and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard has threatened the peace and safety of the area.

"I've called police, com­plained to Councilman Thomas Scott, contacted code enforcement, and just about anyone else I could think of.

"The problem is that during the early morning hours, young people have been gath­ering at the building, and the noise and traffic problems is

very disturbing. They are also consuming alcohol on the premises, and I know that has to be illegal."

Councilman Scott's aide, Belinda Allen, said she has received numerous calls from Mr. Wright about the build­ing and they are at a loss as to what can be done.

Public records indicate the building iS' owned by Lavonne Anderson.

Tampa Police District III Deputy Commander, Captain Rocky Ratliff, said they hadn't received any calls other than one for vagrancy at the building.

"We were under the impres­sion that the building was vacant due to a code viola­tion."

Code Enforcement Director, Jake Slater, said they are currently investigating a new complaint about' a car wash being conducted on the site on the weekends.

"The building was brought up to code years ago and has been completely rehabbed."

"If there is illegal vending occurring on the property, we can stop that"

Slater commended Ms. Anderson who he says has been very cooperative with his investigators and has done everything they've asked her to do.

One source reports that an East Tampa group is looking into purchasing the building as well as some apartments north of the building.

KEVIN WHITE Cowtty Commissioner

On Tuesday, members of the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners voted to attempt to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit against a fellow board mem­ber. The board decided to offer a $100,000 settlement inclusive of all fees.

During the meeting, com­missioners wanted to know the range of money the county could face while attempting to settle the lawsuit. They were told the case could cost as much as $585,000 if the case is appealed and lost and $250,000 to settle.

They also discussed the cost of Attorney Ronald Fraley fees of $375 per hour, totaling $198,000. He repre­sented Alyssa Ogden in the lawsuit against Commissioner Kevin White fpr sexual harassment. The jury found White guilty and awarded Ogden $75,000.

Assistant Attorney Steven

County Todd

senle Kevin White's case said, through negotiations, Attorney Fraley had agreed to subtract $5,000 from his fees.

After much discussion Conunissioner Rose Ferlita said, "The timing is horrible for this mess. Let's cut our losses, move along and pay it."

She also asked County Attorney Renee Lee if it were possible for the county to settle the case and then sue Commissioner White. She stated that they could, howev­er, Commissioner Waite could file bankruptcy and the cow1ty would not receive any­thing.

Commissioner Mark Sharp said he was against the county not fighting the claim and then taking legal action against Commissioner White. He also stated that Attorney Fraley's fees were excess ive.

Commissioner · Jim Norn1an made the sugges­tion that the county authorize the attorneys to offer up to $1oo,ooo that would be inclusive of the settlement for Ogden and her attorney's fees. This would still leave th~ board the option to fj.le the

. appeal if n~gotiations fell through.

County Attorney Renee Lee said she felt the

offer sent the message that the county was willing to negotiate and settle the issue. She said it also left the door open for Attorney Fraley to counteroffer a settlement.

The board voted 5-1 in favor of offering the settle­ment . Conu:nissioner Ferlita voted against it and Commissioner White abstained.

Ms. Pat Bean, Hillsborough County Administrator, informed the board that she had received an offer of representation for the appeal on behalf of the County from Tampa attorney Fredrick H. L. McClure, of the law firm of DLA Piper without charge. The county would only be responsible for court cost. Attorney Todd said on Wednesday that he had no additional information pertaining to the offer.

Attorney McClure said during a telephone interview, "I made the offer and that's kind of where it is now. I'm sw·e we are going to have a discussion and we can take it from there."

When asked why he made the offer, Attorney McClure said, "I've got the ability, I've got the time, my firm believes-in public service, and this is an opportunity to serve."

Dr. lvons: 'lawsuit Is Our Onlv Option' On Tuesday in a Washington,

D. C., court, Dr. Henry Lyons fil ed a lawsuit to pre­vent the National Baptist Con­vention, USA, Inc., members from electing a new president. The lawsuit was filed in Wash­ington, D.C., because that is the location of the home office of the organization.

However, a District of Co­lumbia court rejected his peti­tion to stop the election. It took place on Thursday. More than 40,000 of the organization's 7.5 million members are in Memphis for the annual con­vention. The new president will be chosen before the con­vention ends.

The National Baptist Conven­tion, USA, Inc., began its con­ference on Monday in Memphis, Tennessee. Mem­bers were slated to elect a new president on Thursday. The lawsuit alleges that new bylaws governing the organization's election are in violation of its constitution.

During an exclusive interview Dr. Lyons said, "We have been attempting to communi­cate with Dr. (William J.) Shaw for more than 2 years. We have sent him 7 or 8 regis-

DR. HENRY LYONS ... Filed lawsuit to halt elec-

tion

tered letters and he has not re­sponded to any of them. He hasn't even acknowledged re­ceiving them.

"The lawsuit was our only op­tion. We want to sit down and talk. We don't want to fight. We can reason together be­cause we are brothers."

"But, I'm not going to go into an · election when I already know the results. We're not just going to sit by when the election is blatantly unfair .... The system as it is, is terribly

corrupt and we want a fair election and a level playing field. We're asking for an ad­justment of rules to create a level playing field," Dr. Lyons said.

The election of the new pres­ident was originally slated to take place during the weeklong convention of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. However, with the filing of the lawsuit, a federal judge must lift the injunction for it to take place.

Currently serving as the Se­nior Pastor of New Salem Mis­sionary Baptist Church in Tampa, Dr. Lyons served as President of the organization from 1994 until1997 when he became engulfed in a criminal investigation.

Dr. Lyons is campaigning against Vice President-At­Large, Dr. Julius A. Scruggs, of First Missionary Baptist Church, Huntsville, AL. Dr. Shaw, the current president, can't seek a third five-year term under conven­tion rules.

Leftwich said he believes new offensive coordinator, Greg Olson, will want to have a downfield passing game and that means he will have to play aggressive and smart.

The Bucs also signed seven players to their practice

FAMU Finallv Rattles Hornets BY TED TAYLOR

a: u.. c z <(

~ c en w :l 1-i;: w > w c w J: en ::i co :l a.

victory before a hungry home crowd of 17,209, in Bragg Stadium. The victory was a relief for the Rattler faithful as they have not avoided a Hornet sting since 2003.

F AM U used the arm and legs of senior all-American candidate quarterback Curtis Pulley for an enjoyable home opener. After a scoreless first quarter, the Rattlers reached the endzone on a one-yard run by fullback Mykel Benson, early in the second quarter. Benson followed the hole opened by the jumbo package of two linemen as lead blockers out of the back­field. The point-after by Trevor Scott made the score 7-0. The 9-play drive of 69 yards was powered by a Pulley to Isaac West pass of31 yards.

Del State followed with a 7-play drive covering 86 yards, scoring on 30-yard pass from Anthony Glaud to wide receiver Zacharri Charles. The point-after kick was no good, leaving F AMU ahead at 7-6.

Not to be outdone, FAMU answered with a 59-yard drive using six plays, as running-

back Lovontae Page went in from six yards out. Page started for the injured Philip Sylvester and finished with 61 yards on 20 carries. The halftime score was 14-6, with the conversion of the point­after.

An early second-half touch­down saw the Rattlers increase the lead to 21-6, on a 47-yard run by Pulley as he darted through the Hornet defense. Neither team could muster any more offense until the Hornets tallied on a 4-yard run by runningback Jason Randall, at the 13:00 mark of the fourth quarter. The two-point conversion was missed on an incomplete pass, giving FAMU a 21-12 advantage. The drive was kept alive by a roughing-the­quarterback penalty against FAMU.

Isaac West out jumps Greg Ligon for a long Rattler gain as the Florida A&M Rattlers host the Delaware State Hornets insert Curtis Pully.

Both teams exchanged punts and lost fumbles the rest of the way. The Rattlers may have found a diamond­in-the-rough in tailback Eddie Rocker. The true freshman ran out the last four minutes on the clock with seven carries for 62 yards.

Pulley finished with 196 rushing yards on 15 carries, and threw for 140 yards on a 12 of 19 night. West caught four passes for 83 yards. F AMU racked up 328 rushing yards and held the Hornets to 86 yards on the ground and 188 yards. through the air.

The Rattlers were on the road for a Thursday night date against the Rams of Winston-Salem (N. C.) State, who lost to the North Carolina A & T Aggies last Saturday evening. The game was tele­vised on ESPNU.

BY TED TAYLOR

In a game that was sup­posed to be an exhibition for the Wildcats to fine tune things in a game setting, Bethune-Cookman University found itself embarrassed in its home-opener against the Division II Shaw University Bears from Raleigh, North Carolina. The excitement of the opening of the 2009 sea­son soon turned to stunning for the 4,137 in attendance at Municipal Stadium, regard­less- of which team the fans may have been ro'Oting. The Bears capitalized on seven Wildcat turnovers to win 20-6.

Shaw surprised the 'Cats early on a 6o-yard touchdown pass from Travis Robinson to Jayson Royal at the 10:00 mark of the opening quarter. The point-after kick by Caleb Reid made the score 7-0. Later in the quar­ter Shaw increased the lead to 10-o, on a 46-yard field goal by Lyncon Shepherd. The first quarter lead was helped by Wildcat fumbles on its first two possessions.

Shaw kept the pressure on B-CU on a run of 16 yards by Raymond Williams early in the second quarter. The point-

after by Reid extended the lead to 17-0, which was the score at the half.

Despite the lead, all expect­ed the Wildcats to overcome the Bears in the second-half. However, the turnovers con­tinued and Shaw held its own. The Bears added another field goal of 23 yards at the 3:03 mark of the third quarter for a surprising lead of 20-o.

B-CU finally got on the board early in the fourth on a 12-yard run by Brian Sumlar. The point-after kick by true freshman Kory Kowalski was missed. Sumlar finished with 67 yards on 12 carries but he was also a part of the fumble

brigade, losing one at the Shaw n in the first quarter.

In all, B-CU loss 6-of-6 fum­bles and had a pass intercept­ed. The Wildcats lost two of the fumbles inside the Shaw s-yard line and two more inside the 12-yard line. The interception was at the Shaw n-yard line.

The 'Cats outgained the Bears 282-to-240, but could not get the ball in the end­zone. Things may go from bad to worse next week as the Wildcats entertain South Carolina State. The Bulldogs are the reigning Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champions.

Tiger Makes A Belated Run In Boston

NORTON, Mass.-- Tiger Woods was 6 under after six holes in the final round of the Deutsche Bank Champion­ship, leaving fans wondering whether they would see an unprecedented comeback.

But Woods never got his own hopes up after starting the day nine strokes back.

Woods, who has never come from more than eight strokes behind to win as a pro, shot 70-67-72 over the first three rounds to earn an early tee time Monday - more than three hours before Steve Stricker and Retief Goosen left at 1:40 p.m. Woods, who won at the TPC of Boston in 2006, birdied the first four holes and eagled No. 6 on Monday morning.

But he bogeyed the nth and

Colts Expect Sanders Back Within Five Weeks

BOB SANDERS

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts coach Jim Caldwell would not say whether Bob Sanders will play Sunday against Jacksonville. He does expect the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year to

be back on the field within five weeks.

Caldwell told reporters Monday the team would not have kept Sanders on the active roster unless the Colts thought he would return soon­er than the six-week window required if he opened the sea­son on the physically unable to perform list. Sanders had offseason knee surgery and has not yet practiced.

The Colts did make a roster move Monday, adding veteran safety Aaron Francisco, who was cut by Arizona. The Colts then released linebacker Jordan Senn.

Caldwell said Francisco, a four-year NFL veteran, could play Sunday.

Merriman Denies Choking Tequila

.. TILA 'TEQUILA' NGUYEN vs.

SHAWNE MERRIMAN

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Chargers star outside line­backer Shawne Merriman said he did not harm reality TV star Tila Tequila at his home early Sunday and added he was concerned for her safe­ty because she appeared to be intoxicated.

Merriman was arrested and accused of choking and throwing Tequila to the ground as she tried to leave his home in suburban Poway. Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment. Both are felonies.

Merriman spent a.b9ut 2-1/2 ·hours in the ·dbwnfdwn jail before posting bail.

Merriman practiced Monday, then .said h~'s co~­vinced he'll be cleared. It will ultimately be up to the District Attorney's office to decide if he'll be charged.

Tequila, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, is best known for "A Shot at Love

with Tila Tequila, " which ran for two seasons on MTV. The bisexual dating show featured men and women vying for Tequila's affections. She has also modeled for Playboy and other men's magazines.

Merriman said he was lim-. ited in what he could say: He

kept referring to a statement issued through his attorney Sunday night.

' ~At the time, I was con­cerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided," Merriman said in the statement.

Also Monday, the owner of a downtown club · where Merriman and Tequila attended a party Saturday night said his staff told him Tequila had been drinking and it appeared Merriman had ordered only bottled water.

"I feel sorry for the guy and I' think the truth needs to be ' told," said James Brennan, . who owns Stingaree, one of the city's top hangouts for celebrities. · Brennan said he normally

wouldn't comment, but felt he should after seeing Tequila's tweet in which she said she's allergic to alcohol.

"It sounds like she's allergic to the truth," Brennan said.

A Double Standard At The Blue Martini

BY LEON B. CREWS Sentinel StaffWriter

(An Analysis)

With the economy suffering and so many people being without work, a night out on the town has

become wishful thinki ng fo r some, and an expensive endeavor for others. With so many nightspots trying to lure you inside, many

have become creative, offering drink specials and themed nights. There is one place, however, that feels it does not need to hype

their club, because their clientele is already top-notch and big money spenders. The Blue Martini has become the favorite spot for Tampa's elite. It is a

place where you can run into anyone ranging from a professional athlete to a movie star or national rap artist.

But, the Blue Martini has a hidden secret. · From Monday to Saturday, there is no cover charge to enter the lounge and

drinks are offered at their regular price. Howeve,r, on Sunday when most African Americans attend, there is a $ 10 cover charge if you arrive early, $20 after 10 p.m., and $40 after

midnight. On top of that the VIP bouncer will charge you $40 plus . ~1/ ':./', . another $20 at the door to skip you in the line. If that's not bad

price on Sundays, and inside the lounge, prices can vary on the same drink depending on which bar you are served at .

The Blue Martini also claims that no denims are allowed. But if you slip the bouncer an extra $20, you and your jeans are more than welcome.

One patron pointed out that clubs normally close at 3 a.m ., but at the Blue Martini, they start clearing the club at 2:30.

Angry Bl~k patrons are out­raged, and feel the double­standard is being used out of disrespect to their Black clien­tele, and to take advantage of th e drawing power of the celebrities in the house. ,

It's a shame that a place as popular and successful as the Blue Martini has to fleece patrons this way. It's also a shame that a bouncer is allowed to take part in the rip­off and turn a huge profit.

Let this be a challenge to the Blue Martini to avoid bad press and a bad reputation by being fair to all of their patronsand treating them equally- regardless of what night they attend the lounge.

In saying .that one also can't be so naive as to think the owners and managers actually care about the double-stan­dard. They probably think they will pack the house regardless, and could care less abo ut a few disgruntled patrons.

Let this message serve as a protest and message to the patrons who share the belief that this kind of treatment is wrong, unnecessary, greedy, and completely unprofession­al.

Motown Turns 50, But The Panv's Far From over

Jav-z Nonchalant About 1he Blueprint 3'

Album leak

DETROIT -- Jan. 12, 1959, was the day a 29-year-old boxer, assembly line worker and songwriter named Berry Gordy Jr. used an $8oo fam­ily loan to start a record com­pany in Detroit.

Fifty years later, Motown Records Corp. and its stable of largely African-American artists have become synony­mous with the musical, social and cultural fabric of America. The company spawned house­hold names, signature grooves and anthems for the boule­vard and bedroom alike that transcended geography and race.

And time. Motown may be 50 years

old, but it isn't any less rele­vant with current hitmakers -from Taylor Swift to Coldplay - citing the label's signature "sound" as an influ­ence.

Would there be a Beyonce or Mariah Carey had Diana Ross, Martha Reeves and Gladys Knight not come first?

How about Kanye West and Justin Timberlake? What would have become of their musical careers had Motown not blazed a trail with the likes of Michael

SMOKEY ROBINSON, MARVIN GAYE And STEVIE WONDER

Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and The Four Tops?

From its founding in 1959 to a much-debated move to Los Angeles 13 years later, what has become known as "classic Motown" created a once-in-a­lifetime sound that was local and global, black and white, gritty and gorgeous, commer­cial and creative, Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Like the two-sided singles the Motown factory churned out 24 hours a day, seven days a week at Studio A inside the Hitsville, U.S.A., building at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, Motown Records in the 1960s stood out from the musical pack - and still does today -because of its ability to tune the tension between two opposing forces.

JAY-Z

Jay-Z has reacted noncha­lantly to the news that his forthcoming new album, 'The Blueprint 3", has leaked online.

The album was not set for official release until today September 11, but it has leaked, with fans sharing the tracks from the Kanye West­produced album early.

"I may be the most boot­legged artist in history," he told MTV News. "It's a pre­view. I'm excited for people to hear the album. I'm very proud of the work I've done, so enjoy it."

"The Blueprint 3" features collaborators including Rihanna, Empire Of The Sun's Luke Steele and Pharrell Williams.

Michael Jackson's Glove Auctioned In Australia

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA -- A bejeweled white glove Michael Jackson tossed to an Australian fan more than a decade ago sold at auction Sunday for 57,600 Australian dollars ($48,400), almost twice the estimated selling price.

Warwick Stone, a buyer for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, beat out five other bidders for the late King of Pop's glove, said Charlotte Stanes, spokes­woman for the Melbourne auction house Bonhams and Goodman. The estimated sell­ing price before the auction was $30,000.

"We are very happy with the result," Stanes said. "It's the

Jackson visited Australia in 1996 as part of his HIStory world tour. While in Sydney, he attended the Australian premiere for the film "Ghosts," in which he had a starring role. At the end of the screen­ing, he tossed the glove.

Rapper ludacris Gives Awav Cars To Contest Winners

.., r 0 :a ~

MORROW, GA -- Talk about a one-man stimulus package: Grammy-winning rapper Ludacris has given away 20 cars to people who wrote about their struggles to keep theirjobs for a lack of wheels of their own.

Ludacris said he was taken aback after reading thousands of essays by people struggling or unable to buy cars needed to get to and from work or find jobs. The 31-year-old rap­per felt he could step in and move them ahead, partn~·ng with a suburban Atlanta deal­ership for Sunday's givea ay.

"People are getting laid off, and now are looking for jobs," Ludacris said. "To be effi­cient, you need some trans­portation of your own to get there. That's why I wanted to give back to those who need it."

Each of the used vehicles included free gas for 30 days. Winning contestants were responsible for tags, registra~ tion, tax and insurance. About 4,000 contestants submitted a 300-word essay to the rap­per's foundation, explaining why they deserved a car.

One of the most touching stories Ludacris read was by Mading Duor.

Duor described how he

Bob Marlev Kevboardist Dies In NY At 41

Mark McEwen loses Medical

Negligence lawsuit

WYCLIFFE JOHNSON

NEW YORK -- Jamaica n reggae pro du ce r W ycliffe "Steely" Johnson, a key­boardist fo r Bob Marley, has died in New York at age 47.

Fellow producer Cleveland

"C l evie" Browne says Johnson died Tuesdav at Brookhaven Memo-rial Hospital on Long Island, fol­lowing a heart attack.

Browne says Johnson was diagnosed with kidney fai lure in Dece mbe r while in New York City. He says doctors told Johnson he had a blood clot in his brain.

Johnson was known for his innovative work on so me of the biggest dancehall hits of the 1980s and 1990s.

MARK MCEWEN

Robert crav Gets First Computer, Talks New CD

BALTIMORE-- Former CBS "Early Show " personality Mark McEwen is moving on with his life after a massive stroke nearly four years ago that abruptly ended his TV care er. He 's written a book about his experiences and is trying to raise awareness about stroke wa rning signs and recovery.

But McEwen, 54, is now dealing with a fresh setback -the abrupt end to a court battle against the doctor who told him he had the stomach flu when he showed up at a Maryland hospital emergency room with stroke-like symp­toms.

ROBERTCRAY

NEW YORK-- Though music has taken a digital turn, Robert Cray didn 't recently get his first comput­er to keep up with industry trends. The Grammy-win­ning blues singer is just mak­ing sure he can see his young son and wife while he's on tour.

"The band just bought me a computer, like three weeks ago," the s6-year-old said in a recent interview. "I just turned it on a few days ago, and I'm getting set up basi­cally so I can see our 2-year­old son when I'm on the road. So I can have video

. conversations with him." His family isn't the only

thing he 's smiling about these days . Cray and his band- including guitarist Richard Cousins, drum­mer Tony Braunagel and keyboardist Jim Pugh -recently released their eigh­teenth CD, "This Time."Cray says the disc - which fuses blues, soul and contemporary R&B - is filled with "new life and new energy."

Two days after that hospital visit, McEwen boarded a flight home to Orlando, and suffered a massive stroke. His attorneys claim the stroke could have been prevented if McEwen had been given drugs including aspirin and anti -coagulates.

But U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz disagreed, ruling last week that those drugs were not effective enough in the short term to have made a difference in McEwen's case.

McEwen's attorneys say they are considering an appeal.

Michael Jackson's Kids lav Golden Crown on His casket At Funeral

Nea rly two months aft er Michael Jackson's daugh­ter, Paris, provided a dramat­ic denouement to the late pop star's public memorial at the Staples Center by expressing her enduring devotion for the singer, Jackson's children again took center stage on . Thursday night at their father's funeral.

As more than 200 family and close friends looked on, Jackson's three children -Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7 - opened the solemn ceremo­ny by placing a golden crown on the gilded casket of their dad.

Though the funeral just out­side the Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles was closed to the media and public, Jackson's spokesper­son provided some details of the ceremony. The stage was covered with six large bou-

quets of white lilies and white roses, and on either side of a fl ower-decorated dais stood two pictures of Jackson in a bright yellow shirt and thick gold belt. Helicopter cameras hovering overhead showed that Jackson's family placed his flower-covered casket in front of the audience - includ­ing Macaulay Culkin, Mila Kunis, Stevie Wonder, ex­wife Lisa Marie Presley, Corey Feldman, Elizabeth Taylor, Barry Bonds, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Teddy Riley, Chris Tucker, Gladys Knight and the Reverend AI Sharpton - but due to the media black­out, no audio was available.

The pallbearers included Jackson's five brothers -Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy Jackson- who all wore suits with their brother's signature black armband and one sequined glove.

Oprah Responds To Chris Brown's Comment About Domestic-Abuse Episode

In the forthcoming issue of People magazine, Chris Brown talks about his life since the February altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna. The issues the pop star discussed included his · feelings for Rihanna, his brief reconciliation with her after the incident and how he doesn't think he 'll hit a woman again.

But Brown also addressed a · domestic-abuse-focused episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that aired just after the assault, saying he thinks the show could have portrayed him in a better light. "I commend Oprah on being like, 'This is a problem,' but it was a slap in my face," Brown told the magazine. "I did a lot . of stuff for her, like going to Africa and perform­ing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, 'OK, I'm going tQ..b~b.oth of these people out'." ·

In a statement released to TMZ on Thursday (September 3) , Oprah responded to Brown's sentiments about the show. "Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school, but she takes domestic abuse very seriously, " the

OPRAH WINFREY

statement :reads. ".She hopes he gets the · counse1ing he needs."

In the People interview, Brown said he is meeting with a counselor. "If I do [have an anger problem], I will work with my c~mnselor and hopefully channel my anger into something like dancing," he said. "I'm going to counseling. I warit to understand my feelings. I don't think that I'd get that mad again. [I'd] walk away. This has matured me." .

As for his place. now as a role model to his .fans, he knows it's going to take time to prove himself again .. "Musically, I can still inspire," he said. "But I have a bigger responsibility tb show the world I can over­come this, be a better person, and that I'm worthy of being a role model. I'm going to earn that status back."

Obama On Health Care: Time For Action President Barack

Obama told Americans in a prime-tim e s peech Wednesday that his ambitious $900 billion plan to overhaul the nation's health care sys­tem is essential to provide uninsured and insured fami­lies with quality health care -and keep people alive.

"Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing," Obama said in a speech to a Joint Session of Congress Wednesday evening. "Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most. And more will die as a result."

On an average day, Obama said, 14,000 Americans lose their health care coverage. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, near­ly 46 million Americans are without health insurance. Many of these uninsured are black.

"Well, the time for bicker­ing is over,"[Dbama said in his speech . "The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action .... Now is the time to deliver on health care."

What's clear is this: the bickering is just beginning.

Obama spent 45 minutes in an effort to convince Americans thathis pl an is right for the country. He said

In what political experts described a s a "defining moment" and a "game chang­er" in Obama's eafly presi­dency, Obama outlined his health care proposal and vowed to call out those who "misrepresent" his plan .

Crime

Six-Year-Old Homicide Solved

ElAINE LANIER CALDWELL ... her six-year-old murder has been solved.

On October 23, 2003, Elaine Lanier Caldwell was in her Sulphur Springs home when a man forced his way inside and murdered her. Tampa Police investigated the incident as a home invasion and murder.

Since the murder, detectives had been working hard to solve the case, and had gained some information, but not enough to make an arrest.

A couple of months later a suspect in Caldwell's mur­der, Ronny Walker, was arrested on drug charges. On March 30, 2005, Walker was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

According to the Depart­ment of Corrections website, Walker, 31, was scheduled to be released from prison today (Friday).

However , thanks to the :-vork of Detectives Dennis Drabinak and Chuck

·Massucci, Walker won't be going anywhere. The detec­tives were able to get witness statements and enough evi­dence to have a detainee sta­tus placed on Walker. He will be charged with the mur­der of Caldwell, armed bur-

glary of a dwelling, and armed robbery.

Caldwell's daughters, Veronica Denson and Tiffaney Boggs, said they were so happy to hear Walker would be charged.

"The past six years has been stressful for all of us," said Tiffaney.

"My daughter, who was 10

at the time, witnessed her grandmother being mur­dered."

The siblings said they want to see Walker put to death for what he did to their moth­er.

"Our moth_er was a h~althy, fit woman and would still be with us today if he hadn't done this. He took her away from us, and he has to pay for that with his own life."

The siblings said they plan . to attend every he a ring involving Walker, up to the day he's sentenced.

"I want to see the look on his face when he realizes he didn't get away with killing our mother," said Veronica.

Elaine Caldwell was the aunt of NFL wide receivers Reche and Andre Caldwell.

Three Being Sought on Armed Robberv Charges

These are surveillance photos of three suspects being sought for robbing at least one pawnshop.

Tampa Police report that on September 8th, three armed men entered the Cash America Pawn Shop on North Armenia Avenue.

Dressed in overalls, heads covered and wearing masks, the trio, armed with firearms, reportedly took over the busi­ness. They then put several patrons on the floor and ordered employees to open jewelry cabinets along with cash boxes in the store. They then allegedly forced the employee from one area of the pawnshop to another in order to target the high dollar items.

Along with the jewelry, police said several Ipods were also stolen.

The suspects fled the busi­ness and were seen in a blue 2003 dodge caravan with Florida tag #239··KAR. The vehicle was listed as being stolen from Coleman Elementary School.

Police believe the same sus­pects may be responsible for two robberies that occurred at a pawn shop on 40th Street and one on Busch Boulevard.

All three suspects are described as Black males, 18 to 25 years old.

BY IRIS B. HOLTON Sentinel City Editor

On Tuesday, September 11,

2001, shortly before 8 :46 a.m., hijackers took control of American Airlines Flight 11

and crashed it into the World Trading Center's Tower. At 9:03 a.m., another group of hijackers gained control of United Airlines Flight 175 and crashed into the South Tower.

A third group of hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m . United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m . The passengers had learned about the other crashes and engaged in a fight with the hijackers. The hijack­ers on .that airplane had intended to crash into the U. S. Capitol or the White House.

The attack that changed America took place 8 years ago today. Some Tampa resi­dents share their memories of the day that will live on in infamy.·

Eric Brown said, "I had just finished my morning exercise pro­gram with m y good {riend Tony Cooper. He invited. me

over to his house for break­fast. We turned on the TV to watch. the Today Show. We had heard earlier about the first plane crashing into the first tower then we· observed the second plane crashing into the other tower, immedi­ately we concluded our coim­try was under attack. This moment, September 11, 2001, is permanently etched in niy memory." .

Ms. Grace Miranda said, "I was-in-my car on 275 ori riiy. way·to work. When I got there staff already had the televi­sion in the lobby area. We watched totally stunned!"

Bob Buckhorn said, "I was in my City Council office where I always had a TV tuned to CNN playing in the back­ground . When the news broke, I immediately thought of my cousin Patrick Concannon, a Lt . in the New York Fire Department.

"We learned later that most of his former crew were killed in the collaps~ bl the World . ? • • " '0 • : • ! ~

Tampa Residents Remember Events Of September 11, 2001

Trade Center. As the hour progressed there were reports of other planes h eaded for

either the White House or the Capitol. My youngest brother is on the presidential detail for CNN and is housed in the White House. My concern for his safety was paramount given that I did not know if he was working that day. I le a rned later that he was working and that they were forced to evacuate the build­ing."

Ms. Pat Spencer said, "On Tuesday, S e pt e mb e r

t :.dhM /1 11th, I was ab oard a Delta Flight from Tampa t o New York's La­

Guardia Airport. The pilot announced th a t there had been a problem at New York that was causing our flight to be diverted to Washington Reagan Airport. He continued by asking everyone to have a phone number, either of who you would be visiting in New York, or someone to call back in Tampa.

"At this time, the phones on the plane were activated . Shortly, the pilot came on again and told us that there was a problem in the DC area and that we were being diverted to Atlanta. I called my office ·in Tampa and was told about the plane crashing into the Twin Towers.

"We were then told we were circling the Atlanta air­port, as many flights were also going there. When we landed, we had to sit on the tarmac for a long time.

"Once we were at the gate, the waitip.g area was full, we could not get our bags, all the Car Rental services were sold

- out, and only seniors _and unaccompanied minors were given hotel rooms. I called a .Bo.q_ _ number .. and_ goJ ~ Hoiiday Inn close by, where I stayed until Friday, when I got a ride with a gentleman from Clairmont, Florida, who had rented a car in Dayton, OH, hoping the airport would be open in Atlanta. His car was at the Orlando, FL air­port, and he gave me a rid e there. I rented a car at the airport and drove to Tampa. I will always remember that day, that week."

Ms. Khaliah Fleming said, "I remember vividly what I was doing: I had com­pleted my first class of the day at Spelman.

Ms. Linda Smart said, "On the night before we had returned from a foot­ball game in Dallas, there­fore on th e next morn ing I was at home watching the morning news when it was interrupted by a special riews report. Initially I did not know what to think or per­haps it was just a promo for a future movie.

"I immedi ately started to Pray as once agai n no one really knew what was go ing on in New York, but whatever it was, I knew th at it was going to affect someone's life. Never did it occur to me that we would witness such a tragedy and loss of so many innocent lives in Ameri can History.

locked down our places because qf_ w.h_a( ~e_ geal with on the job."

Dr. George Foxx said, "I was teaching Am e r i c·a. n Government at Gaither High School when the stu-

. dents came into the room stating th.e World Trade Center had been hit. At first I did not believe them. Then I turned on the television and sure enough the event that would change the practices of this nation had happened. The effects of 9/11 are still present today - some eight years later."

Ms. Alison ·Ankuma said, "On Sept 11, 2001, I was sitti ng in m y office and received a phone call from my mom stating a plane crashed

into one of the World Trade Center Towers. I went into the break room and just as I

walked in , th e seco nd plane hit and I knew at th at point it was a delib­

EQJI\IIJILIJ erate attack. L " I vividly remember the feeling of help­lessness . My focus immedi ­ately shift ed to my kid s because they were in school and the fear of not knowing how widespread the attacks were ups et me b ecaus e I needed to get to them. I also felt those who didn't make it and the pain their families had to be feeling. I will always rem ember where I was and how I felt. "

Ricky Roberts said, "I was prepar­ing to leave my office, when some­one said a plane just hit the World · Trade Center.

Wnen T arrived at a:n office in St. Pete everyone was crowd­ed around the T.V. watching, iri disbelief, the live reports ~f what was happening a}l;d what had happened. It seemed as though everything stopped and time went into slow motion.

"Once the shock subsided I realized, I had been initially scheduled to attend a meeting that was taking place at the Verizon headquarters a few blocks away from the Trade Center. I remember thinking the Lord kept me home that day."

Ms. Carolyn Lighty said, "I was just pulling into the parking lot of my office. I was listening as usual to the radio , when the announce­ment that a plane had acci­dentally hit one of the World

Trade Center Towers. At that moment one of my employees pulled in and rolled his win-

dow do wn and said 'Carolyn, did you hear what h ap ­pened, you're from NY aren't you?' I

said yes, a nd I ca n tell you that it .is impossibl e to acci­dentally hit the World Trade Center Towers it can't possi­bly be an accident.

"He argued, yes, it was an accident. Unfortunately, I was right. Having worked in NYC for most of my professional career, I had attended many meetings in the Towers. On a trip to visit my client, I looked out the window down into the hole (the monument was not built at that point) that used to be the WTC and remembered the lives that were lost and the families that struggle even today with the horrible memory of what hap­pened to their loved ones. ·

'Thad friends and col­leagues in the financial indus­try that worked in that build­ing and to this day, I don't know if they all made it out alive."

Ernest Coney, Jr. said, "I was in my office work­ing (at a local HMO), when someone stated that a plane had flew into one . of the Twin Towers. I thought that it was a freak acCident involving a small plane.

I began listening to the radio to get an up update ... then the news broke .. . anoth­er plane has just crashed into the other tower. The words brought a cold chill, as I begin to process the stark fact that America was attacked."

od is full of grace and mercy. God oftentimes give His people bl ess­

ings they do not necessarily deserve and wi ll also with­hold punishment for so me sins they commit.

While He is gracious and merciful He fully expects His people to follow and obey His commands. There are conse­quences for disobeying God . Even in being punished there is mercy.

In this week's lesson about the I s ra elites and Gid eon God shows punish­ment and mercy. Judges 6:1-3, 7-13 gives the church a glimpse of what God will do as a result of willful disobe­dience . It also shows the mercy of God when the peo­ple cry out to Him.

At this time in their life the Children of Isra el have sinned aga inst God by fol­lowing after the ways of the Amorites (vs. 10). God instructed them how . to behave and what to do, but they would not listen to Him (vs. 11).

As a consequence of dis­obeying Him and worship­pin g idols, God delivered them into the hands of their enemies for seven years (vs. 1). Oftentimes your misfor­tune and struggle are th e results of not following the commands of God.

God will punish you for your negative behavior and refusal to obey Him. Just as you may punish your child­ren for a length of time, God also punishes you.

As a result of the oppres­sion in which they had to suf­fer they had to live life in caves, mountains and strong­holds (.vs. 2). There are many people living a life of secrecy and privacy just to avoid interaction with those · 'who-are causing theriJ., diffi-culties. · .. 'I

Sometimes when you won­der why it seems like you are going through, you must stop and check yourself to make sure that you have not sinned against God and are being punished.

When you are being pun­Ished or God has handed you over to the enemy to chastise you, you are oftentimes with­out His protective power. The reason that you are able to withstand the attacks of the enemy in your life is because you are protected by the hand of God.

But here we see that when­ever they planted crops peo-

pie came and plundered their harves t and took what they wanted (vs. 3). When God withdraws His h and from you, the enemy comes to take what he wants ann do what­ever he desires.

God's a nger is but for a moment in life. They cried out to God because of th e oppression and He heard them. · Sometimes it is in the midst of bei ng mistreated , us ed, and abused by the enemy that people get a "DO RIGHT" spirit.

Sometimes to stop the chastising of the Lord all it takes is sincere repentance. Surrendering to God's will and power will bring about a change in your life and situa-· tion.

God then raised up a deliv­erer to fight for them. In His righteousn ess God informs them of what they did wrong and why He is angry. He lets them know that after He has been good to them, delivered them from the hand of slav­ery and oppression, they still worshipped other gods (vv 8-10).

It angers God when in spite of a ll the good and great things He has done for you in yo ur life for yo u to turn around and worship the god of the world . It angers Him when He sees th at you put your trust in man and th e things of man after it was Him who saved you, deliv~ ered you, and cleaned you up ..

Regardless of all they did, God delivered them again. You called Gideon to be the man who would fight for them. Gideon considered himself to be the weakest of his fa~her's, house (vs. 15). God \".v ent to the smallest fa11.1i ly and call~d th~ ~'small­est" man (in Gideon's eyes).

This serves man notice tfiat God does not have to call the biggest, baddest, and best to do great things. God knows your status and qualifications before He calls you. Your status in society and your family does not determine your usefulness to the Kingdom of God.

What makes the difference to being called by God to fight against those people and things that are big and tough is the revelation that He will be with you (vs. 16). When God calls you and the task seems too big ·and dan­gerous for you to handle, just remember that He will be with you.

St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church was the place where almost all of our graduations were held during the era of dis­crimination and segre­gation. It was where we gathered to hear out­standing dignitaries speak, even a presiden­tial candidate. A large number of ministers were ordained there and numerous citizens received their early religious nurturing at

St. Paul. I am told that it is

more than 139 years old and is a registered county and state histor­ical site.

We have watched Central Avenue and all of its proud and inde­pendent business own­ers "go away," then Meacham School, and · now, St. Paul is on its way out.

With its current small congregation, the wor­ship area could be reduced in size. And then, under the aus ­pices of the church, it

· could become a perma­nent site for meetings, local community forums health screenings, etc. (A large basement is easily accessible from the street). It can even become a museum.

The mission of t h e A.M.E. Church is broad , and so mu ch can be done by keeping St. Paul and using it.

The Mission Of T he A.M.E. Church

The Mission of the Afr i can · Methodist Episcopal Church i s to minister to the spiritu­al, in tellectual , physi­cal, emotional and envi­ronmental n eed s of a ll p eo pl e b y spreading Christ's liberat ing gospel through work and d eed. At every level of the Connection and in every local church, the African Methodi s t Episcopal Church shall engage in carrying out the spi.rit of the origi­nal Free African Society, out of which th e A. M. E. Church evolved that is, to seek out and save the lost, and serve the needy through a continuing program of:

1) Preaching the gospel 2) Feeding the hungry 3) Clothing the naked 4) Housing the homeless 5) Cheering the fallen 6) Providing jobs for the jobless 7) Administering to the needs of those in pri­sons, . hospital, nursing homes, asylums and mental institutions, senior citizens' homes , caring for the sicl{, the shut-in, the mentally and socially disturbed, and 8) Encouraging thrift and economic advance­ment.

llottom line, retain ownership!!

In closing, I know that those who do not agree with me will most likely say that I am "emotion­al," having a "nostalgia fit,", "not thinking rationally," or "all of

· the above." As a late, famous,

musician put it," "I'm Guilty." And I have a right to have; and express, my opinion.

What You Can Expect From Windows 1

Microsoft is officially set to re­lease Windoi(>'S 7 on October 22 of this year . . Windows 7 regard­less of a ·sl,ow economy is ex­pecting to make quite a splash in the retail market. Here are a few nice upgrades to expect from Windows 7.

If you are infected by a mild virus in the past system restore would not tell you which pro­grams will be affected by the re­store command. Now Windows 7 will provide a list of programs before you decide to restore your computer to an earlier date when your computer was virus free.

Windows 7 will also make it easier to burn DVD/CD data and ISO images. ISO burning means you will be able to make backup copies of both Windows XP and Windows 7 that are boatable in case your PC crashes. No need to buy addi-

tional software such as Pow­eriSO.

If you are one of those people who found the user account control panel in Vista annoying this time around Microsoft has decided to provide a sliding bar to adjust the effectiveness of the UAC warning levels.

Windows 7 will also offer bet­ter search parameters by offer­ing a drop down list of all your previous searches in windows explorer. The new operating system will also run faster, more stable with less of a demand for memory and processing power. You will find as well when you

install Windows 7 for the first time, most if not all your drivers are already loaded to your PC.

5 S.T.E.P.S To Success lPan2J 1\) 0 0 <D

"Never look back and re­gret, look back and smile at what you have learned."

Michelle C Ustaszeski

Empowered greetings. This week's column will focus on

Step 1 : Stop and Start. Stop focusing on your past

and start focusing on your strengths that will lead you to a successful future.

View poor choices, ill deci­sions and failures of your past .as learning experiences. Henry Ford said "Failure is the only opportunity to begin again more intelligently." I say "If you don't plan on going back, Stop look­ing back; because you will never be rich enough to buy

Start focusing on your strengths by identifying what you do well . What is it that makes you uniquely different from anyone else, from any other business or any 'other ministry?

Now define in writing, how you can utilize these strengths and unique attributes to create new levels of success in pursuing your passions and purpose.

Then as the Nike slogan says, "Just Do lt." Do what only you can do, because there is no one else like you. No on else can uniquely perform what you do. They may imitate but they can­not duplicate, for there is' only one you. Chosen and designed to do what you do.

There is no other business

like yours. There is no other ministry quite, like yours. For you are fearfully and wonder­fully made. When you, your business and your ministry were created the mold was bro­ken. And I believe that nobody but God can conceive the end­less possibilities that you have to offer the world. So GO OUT AND DO YOU!

I am doing me, by using my strengths and attributes to EM­POWER YOU through this col­umn. Use yours to EMPOWER YOURSELF, then go out and EMPOWER OTHERS!

Join me again next week, as I take another empowerminute to focus on Success Step 2: Take Control. Until then BE EM­POWERED!

Disabilitv Insurance 101

r;­m c r­.­m :::! z

One in three individuals will experience some form of dis­ability in their working lifetime, according to the National Asso­ciation of Insurance and Finan­cial Advisors. Your most valuable asset -your present income earning ability, must be protected! Oftentimes we pur­chase insurance to protect all of our golden eggs, yet we for­get to cover the goose. Also, the smaller your savings, the more you need disability insur­ance.

There are three main ques­tions to ask concerning disabil­ity insurance. How much? How quickly? How long?

How much, refers to the ben­efit amount. For incomes under $1 OOk the limit is usually about 40-60% of your gross income. The higher the benefit amount; the more you pay for the policy. How quickly, points to the wait­ing period or the time you must wait before the policy pays. This is normally between 30 and 90 days. A 90-day waiting

period is less expensive for ob- ~ vious reasons. tiJ

How long, refers to the ben- 1

efit period; typically policies ~ pay for two years, five years, or m until age 65. 0

When you shop for disability m < insurance look for these guar- m antees: fixed monthly pay- ::D ments, the opportunity to buy. ~ more benefits without having to c prove your continued good m health, and a policy that stays ~ in effect as long as you pay ~ your premium (even if you are ~

sick). z ~--------------------------------------------------------~0

Color Palene For Healthv Eating Phytonutrients-powerful

plant chemicals present in fruits and vegetables - offer a host of disease-fighting properties.

Yellow, orange, and red foods like carrots, corn, sweet potatoes, squash, bell peppers, tomatoes, apricots , and melons are rich in antioxidants.

Green and white vegetables offering antioxidants include as­paragus, broccoli , spinach, turnips , onions, garlic, and col ­lard greens . Their sulfur com­pounds activate protective enzymes. Indoles foun_d in cab­bage help inhibit cancers of the digestive tract, breast, and lung.

Purple, blue, and magenta foods are rich in flavonoids and vitamin C. Choose berries, cher­ries, red apples, beets, eggplant,

tea, and red wine. For fighting age-related symptoms, "The blueberry is king.". Its antioxi­dant and anti-inflammatory properties help protect the brain from free-radical damage and support cognitive skills.

Tan foods supply B ,·itamins, fiber, mineral s, and vitamin E. Enjoy whole grains, beans, brown rice , tofu, and moderate amounts of nuts . Some of the phytochemicals in these foods work to suppress carcinogenic processes.

Besides plant foods, fill yom diet with other healthy choices. Poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy are rich sources of protein, essenti al fatty acids, and vitamins. Omega-3 oils in fish reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and autoimmune condi­tions.

Choose organic foods when possible to avoid toxic and per­sistent pesticides. What's better for you is better for the planet, too.
