HEALTH CARE FOR ALL Azalea Health provides affordable options for residents in Volusia, Flagler Editor’s note: This is one in a series of stories on alternate health care choices for area residents. BY ANDREAS BUTLER DAYTONA TIMES

Even before she was elected as Daytona Beach Zone 3’s representative on the City Commission, Quanita May was aware of the health disparities in Black Daytona Beach. Part of the 32114 zip code ‒ where state health statistics reveal the largest concen-

tration of the city’s sickest and poorest people live ‒ is in Zone 3. As part of understanding how to improve the health of Zone 3 residents, May started doing her research on existing health care providers in the city. She was pleasantly surprised to find providers that could be accessed by low-income residents. Last week, a Daytona Times reporter accompanied her to a visit to the first affordable medical provider she identified: Azalea Health. Azalea Health is a comprehensive health care center, which has been open for over a year in Daytona Beach. It’s located at 1455 Dunn Ave. Another location is in Palm

Coast in Flagler County at 450 Palm Coast Parkway, Suite 5.

Serves everyone The goal is to provide affordable health care to low-income and moderate-income individuals and families. Azalea Health also serves areas with high health disparities like the 32114 zip code in Daytona Beach. “We serve any individuals, whether they have the best insurance or no insurance. “We cover just about every service, said Terry Gilyard, RSN, Azalea Health’s Clinical Care supervisor. “We can also link patients up to See AZALEA, Page 2

Film focuses on life, legacy of Thurman BY ANDREAS BUTLER DAYTONA TIMES

Dr. Howard Thurman is one of Daytona Beach’s renowned sons. The renowned scholar, theologian and educator who grew up in the city. Thurman’s story will receive national and global attention this month due to a PBS documentary that depicts his life and legacy. “Backs Against the Wall: The Howard Thurman Story’’ premiered on Feb. 8 on the World Channel. It also will be shown this month on PBS stations around the country. The Howard Thurman Historical Home, located in Daytona Beach at 614 Whitehall St., was highlighted in the documentary, according to the filmmaker. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990,

‘A great story’ “We got to film in his historic home, which was quite inspiring. This is part of a series on people with prophetic voices with religious backgrounds who spoke with such insight and clarity to the people on the issues of their day, said Martin Doblemeier, filmmaker of Journey Films.

Dr. Howard Thurman grew up in Daytona Beach. “Those voices still speak to us today. Howard is one of them. I think he was one of great voices of the 20th century.’’ He adds, “It’s a great story. What is important is if you read the history books on the civil rights movement, very rarely do you see the name Howard Thurman. On the other hand, when you meet the people who made the movement happen who are still alive, there is no question that Howard Thurman influenced them all.” See THURMAN, Page 2

B-CU series teaches students about show biz SPECIAL TO THE DAYTONA TIMES

Fourteen years ago in 2005, the Daytona Times reported on Bethune-Cookman College’s Marching Wildcats making an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show, and Daytona Beach city commissioners being legally required to pay their own way to races at Daytona International Speedway after years of getting free admission.

Bethune-Cookman University launched its “Straight Talk” The Business of Show Business series on Monday with an interactive talk and directing workshop with award-winning director/producer Charles Randolph Wright. The event was held at the Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center. Wright spent over two hours sharing his career story and providing on-stage directing notes and advice to B-CU theater students. Wright currently is producing and directing “Greenleaf,’’ the OWN TV series. Wright flew into Daytona Beach from the set of the series specifically to spend time with the students. “I leave here more inspired than what I gave to them,” said Wright. “I love being here at Bethune-Cookman and I want these students to soar in the industry. I am thrilled.”

others that provide affordable treatment. We are a medical home that links services and families together.’’

Minor surgeries Gilyard said the center offers a variety of services, including minor surgeries. “We try to do as much as we can in our facilities. We do a lot of minor surgeries. We can do skin tags, remove staples, do stitches, detect cancer, and other things that reduces medical costs compared to patients going to hospitals and clinics. We just don’t have X-ray. Our X-ray center is in St. Augustine,” Gilyard noted.

Sliding scale Azalea Health operates on a sliding fee scale. It is composed of a scale that goes from slide A to slide E with slide E being the lowest of costs. “We verify their information. What they pay depends upon income and how many people are in the household. It depends upon which slide they fall within on the A-E slide scale,” Gilyard explained. “For example, our services can lower costs that are usually in the hundreds of dollars down to as low as $20 if a patient qualifies.’’

In six counties Azalea Health care is under Rural Health Care, Inc., a private non-profit community and migrant health center created in Putnam County in 1977. The company services areas with health disparities, including those with medical professional shortages and medically underserved areas.

Journey Films has produced more than 30 documentary films that have aired on PBS, ABC, NBC, BBC, and other broadcast outlets around the world. “Backs Against the Wall: A Howard Thurman Story’’ details the life of one of the most important religious figures of the 20th century. Thurman laid the spiritual foundation of the civil rights movement and inspired many of its leaders, including his close friend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Also featured in the film are scholars, theologians and civil rights pioneers such as Congressman John Lewis, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Vernon Jordan.

The staff of Azalea Health (with Commissioner May, second from right) say they are committed to providing high-quality health care to every patient. sia. There are 11 full-time primary care centers offering with a wide range of services, three full-time dental centers, and nine full-service pharmacies and employees 200 employees. “We are brought into communities because we are asked to come. We just can’t come in unless a city, county or town asks us to come and serve those underserved,” Gilyard noted. “Health care can be expensive so having an organization that can reduce prices is big.”

32114 disparities Azalea Health is aware of the health disparities in the Black community. “We aren’t targeting any specific ethnic group. We look at our numbers. We understand that the African-Americans community has a lot of health disparities, but

we are open for them as well. We educate anyone who walks through our doors,” Gilyard related. The 32114 zip code, which covers a large portion of Daytona’s Black community, has been documented as the least healthy in Volusia County. These issues include high rates of new HIV/AIDS cases, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, high blood sugar and more. Azalea Health could help alleviate health disparities in 32114. “We are aware of the health disparities. We look at our numbers and the population. Those that asked us to come into the community realized the disparity and knew that our services would help. We also link people up with other organizations that help address health disparities,” Gilyard added.

Didn’t seek attention Thurman is often a forgotten member in the civil rights movement but his influence is there. “Thurman was one of the most powerful and influential voices behind the civil rights movement. He had a personality where he didn’t want to draw attention to himself,’’ Doblmeier noted. “The civil rights leaders that we interviewed in the film light up talking about Thurman and how important he was to them and the civil rights movement. Thurman may not be recognized as he should because of his style of not garnering attention. He was a source of inspiration and energy for the civil rights movement.”

Mentor to King Another aim of the documentary was to show Thurman’s influence on King. Doblmeier stressed, “Thurman was absolutely a spiritual mentor to Dr. King that alone is enough to make a movie about.

B-CU, in collaboration with the New Professional Theatre of New York, created the series to provide a career platform for students from various disciplines to enter the world of show business. Sheila Kay Davis, founder and CEO of the theater company, has B-CU roots. Both of her parents were former employees. Lucius Davis, her father, was the longterm Dean of Students and her mother, retired Congresswoman Carrie Meek, was the institution’s first women’s basketball coach when she served as an instructor in education early in her career. “B-CU is in my blood,” said Davis. “My parents met on this campus. Dr. Bethune introduced them to each other and this place is a part of who I am. I had talent, but it took me at least 10 years to learn the business, so I decided it was time to circumvent the process and teach this new generation on campus the business here. So I called on some of my friends to join me in this project and here we are.”

‘Life-changing moments’ B-CU’s Director of Theatre Dr. Julius John serves as the campus liaison for the series and commented on the impact that workshops like these have on students like theater majors at the university. “Today I saw stars. Many of them have the talent, but now they get a glimpse of the business,’’ her related. “I am always excited when persons in the industry come and share their knowledge with our students, and today was a great example of life-changing moments for our young people to experience with these show business icons here on campus.” For more information about the series, contact Dr. Julius John at johnj@cookman. edu.

racial injustice, racial violence and segregation,” Doblmeier noted.

Daytona to D.C.

The Howard Thurman Historical Home is on the National Register of Historic Places. When you see and listen to King’s conviction and force that he spoke with, where did he get that from? “Some people influenced him, but a lot of that inspiration came from meetings, writings and preaching from Howard Thurman.’’

The early years The grandson of slaves, Thurman was born on Nov. 18, 1899. He was the first to graduate from the eighth grade in Daytona Beach.

He lived in the Daytona Beach home until he moved to Jacksonville to attend the Florida Academy Baptist High School, the closest high school available to Black Daytonans in the 1910s. “He spoke a lot about his early years in his autobiography. He spoke of the segregation and racism there that he experienced firsthand and had a profound influence on him. He said Daytona was a little more tolerant but still had its

Thurman received his undergraduate degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta in 1923 and was ordained a Baptist minister in 1925 after graduating from Colgate-Rochester Theological Seminary. In 1928, he returned to Atlanta to serve as director of religious life and professor of theology at Morehouse and Spelman colleges, and in 1932 was appointed dean of Rankin Chapel and professor of systematic theology at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

Ghandi influence In the mid-1930s, he was with a delegation that traveled to India where he was the first African American invited to India to meet Mohandas Gandhi. “Another big aspect that Thurman brought to the civil rights movement was the fundamental principles of non-violent resistance, which he learned

from Ghandi and brought back to America,” added Doblmeier. Thurman also helped launch the Fellowship Church for All People in San Francisco, considered to be the nation’s first interracial and multicultural church community back in 1944. The church added theater and dance in its worship. Eleanor Roosevelt and Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune were at-large members.

Died in 1981 In all of his teachings, Thurman was determined to break down what he saw as the artificial walls between races, nationalities and denominations. He went on to serve as dean of Marsh Chapel at Boston University (1953– 1965), eventually retiring to San Francisco where he died on April 10, 1981. “Backs Against the Wall: A Howard Thurman Story’’ is produced by Journey Films, Inc. and is a presentation of Maryland Public Television. Major funding was provided by the Lilly Endowment.

The free, public celebration – partially funded by the City of Palm Coast – took in the recent aspects through the Youth Black History Committee – Jeanette Wheeler, Chair; Richard Barnes, Patricia Bottoms, Redonia Johnson, Melba McCarty, Harriett Whiting, and Annette Williams. Young Stefany Ecklin, mistress of ceremonies, assembled the roles for the audience amid cheers from the young audience members. Also attending were Bunnell Mayor Catherine Robinson, Bunnell City Manager Alvin Jackson, and Dr. Dora Hymon Giddens, daughter-in-law of the Rev. Frank Giddens, a community activist, who was instrumental in integrating the county’s workforce through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) of 1973.

FEBRUARY 7 – FEBRUARY 13, 2019

The homeless have souls too, in case you forgot It’s the first of the month. You’re working a part-time job, raising four kids on your own, and all of a sudden you get a notice on your front door that you have three days to vacate the premises. Just that quick, you and your family can go from living paycheck to paycheck to truly being out on the streets. Displaced citizens come in all shapes, sizes and backgrounds, from the battered pregnant newlywed who ran away to save her life, to the drug-addicted, mentally-ill Vietnam Vet who sacrificed to make his nation proud.

Our ugly secret The mistreatment that our homeless brothers and sisters endure on a daily has become our nation’s ugliest open secret. It’s time we show them a proper amount of respect. Recently, I viewed a video on social media that featured two young college-aged men walking up to obviously inebriated homeless citizens and making them answer mundane questions ranging from sneakers to pop singer Ariana Grande. If they answered correctly, they were given a cold “McDouble” hamburger from McDonald’s. The video ‒ which has collectively received over 9 million views ‒ highlighted a disgusting new trend in modern society. Our homeless have not only become our nation’s punching bag; now they are its official punchline. Gone are the days of graciously doing for the less fortunate for

Why does every act of charity have to be filmed and blasted for the world’s praise? When does humanity and morality come into play? the sole purpose of genuine respect and love. We’re in an era where you can only help your fellow citizen if it’s being recorded with the hopes of blowing up online and becoming viral. If your auntie who is struggling with alcoholism as well as dementia was being interviewed and asked what her favorite Pokémon character was, or told to do 20 pushups for $1, would you be laughing along?

Making a difference With the sub-zero temperatures in Chicago and throughout the Midwest, thousands of homeless Americans have been found nearly frozen to death. In any urban community in America, there are at least 15-20 churches with adequate space and resources to open their doors dur-

Who really won the Super Bowl? Neither of the teams on the field won last week’s Super Bowl. Something wonderful happened along the way, and we had a consciousness-raising event. So many who could’ve been performers for the halftime show said “NO” to invitations to be there. Others made it known before being asked that they would not perform if asked because they were supporting former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

On the right side What they did was spectacular, but the issue is bigger than Colin. They were making a score for Black dignity. Some of them have made mistakes in the past, but on this issue they’re right.

DR. E. FAYE WILLIAMS, ESQ. TRICE EDNEY NEWS WIRE

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell claims that NFL teams don’t believe Kaepernick could win games for them. That’s an excuse many of us have heard all of our lives when it comes to getting an opportunity to try. Even when we have proven skills, education and training above our competitors, we often lose to those who are inferior on all accounts. So as we say down South, “That dog won’t hunt.” I’ve had my problems with

Trump cranks up Venezuela’s misery President Trump apparently has decided that intervention in Venezuela’s agonies can help repair an image scarred by the government shutdown debacle. In recent days, he recognized an obscure, right-wing opposition leader when he declared himself acting president. Trump has blustered that “I am not going to rule out a military option.” Mike Pompeo, his secretary of state told the world’s nations to “pick a side” in the internal Venezuelan standoff.

Inflicting more pain Trump is ratcheting up sanctions, increasing the miseries inflicted on the Venezuelan people. And most recently, he named as point person for Venezuela the notorious Elliott Abrams, ardent advocate of dictators and war criminals,

a cheerleader for virtually every catastrophic U.S. intervention ‒ from Reagan’s covert war on Nicaragua to the Bush’s invasion of Iraq ‒ and a convicted perjurer (withholding information about the Iran-Contra scandal). This is like putting Al Capone in charge of enforcing law and order.

ing the dangerous frigid nightmare. Yet it takes sole individuals to make the most impact. Candice Payne, an entrepreneur from Chicago, used her personal American Express credit card to rescue more than 100 homeless Chicagoans, including youth, and got them checked into hotels to escape the recordbreaking cold front. Ms. Payne, like thousands of silent heroes around this country, are proving that shoving a camera in a person’s face doesn’t make you any more of an ally than those who do it purely from the heart.

A local solution? Here in Daytona Beach, the severity of the situation has reached a breaking point. With nearly 5,000 displaced citizens throughout Volusia and Flagler counties alone, officials have been searching and formulating a solution for a number of years, ultimately resulting in the approval and construction of the controversial $6-million, 15,000-square feet First Step Shelter. Built as a means to “graduate people from homelessness,” the project which opens in early 2020 is the final solution to an ongoing local struggle with homeless citizens taking over public areas such as parks, libraries and even our local beach. While the groundbreaking housing project has been met with mostly positive reviews, critics including local leaders and homeless citizens themselves point out that the city doesn’t truly care for its homeless population.

some who support the cause for which Kaepernick took a knee, but their speaking out now says to me they at least know right from wrong. I’m not so sure if others get it, and whether they understand the power of unity. Jermaine Dupree didn’t have to support the event. His work is already well-known and appreciated by many people. He’s already earned a lot of money, so why? It’s no sacrifice for him to support the cause. But instead, he chose to host a concert series called “Super Bowl Live.” The Super Bowl needs people like him more than he needs the Super Bowl. I guess social justice has no meaning for him. Maybe nobody told those who insisted upon performing that Colin does not protest for himself. He does it to raise awareness to police brutality, racial inequality and other social issues.

Should have refused The performer that hurts most

For decades, the rapacious elite pocketed the wealth, leaving the vast majority in poverty. When a popularly elected president, Hugo Chavez, took over oil production, redistributed land and provided greater resources for health care, food and housing for the poor, the elites sought to overthrow him in a 2002 failed coup ‒ one the U.S. shamefully supported (while Abrams was a member of the Bush National Security Council). When the price of oil plummeted, the economy went into crisis; government mismanagement and corruption made things worse. Millions have fled the country. The opposition exacerbated the situation by refusing to recognize the 2013 electoral victory of Nicolas Maduro, sponsoring violent attacks, boycotting future elections and calling for military and foreign interventions. The agonies were worsened by U.S. economic sanctions, illegal under treaties of the Organization of American States and the UN. Now the U.S., joined by a sig-

Discriminatory laws and ordinances being passed by elected officials, including prohibiting washing off in public restrooms as well as loitering, has caused many displaced and disadvantaged families to give up their fight for a better life. A newly introduced panhandling ban, which would result in trespassing warrants up to two years, has declared open season on our city’s most vulnerable and hungry.

Why target the weak? According to a mother of twins who has been homeless for 15 years: “Daytona is worried about its image. It’s all about money. Where is the love? You got a human being suffering and you want to put them in jail. I’ve known people who can’t do this for another day, and they walk in front of a train or car.” Next time you plan on filming yourself giving a homeless per-

is Gladys Knight singing the national anthem, because she’s so widely admired for her music. I realize Atlanta is her hometown, but she didn’t need the exposure. Those who refused to support the Super Bowl are the real winners. I can only hope that those who could not resist performing will do something to redeem themselves. In the Black community, we always have important causes for which we have to fight, so all is not lost for them. They can still help to do something good for Black America.

Support needed There is a voting rights and anti-corruption bill in Congress they can support.

Bloody hands Most likely, Trump will follow the textbook used in the overthrow of Chile’s democratically elected leader, Salvador Allende. Then, U.S. sanctions were tightened to “make the economy scream.” Covert efforts were made to enlist generals to overthrow the president. The CIA helped fuel strikes and demonstrations from the opposition. The result was the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship that consolidated itself with savage brutality. The U.S. has a long sordid history of regime change ‒ military and covert interventions aimed at overthrowing governments ‒ in Latin America, a record that belies our proclamations about international law and a rule-

The Progressive National Baptists need support for their campaign against Wells Fargo for causing so many in the Black community to lose their homes; they ask that we stop banking with Wells Fargo. The National Congress of Black Women, National Black Alliance and Clear the Airwaves need help with the Respect Us campaign by refraining from spending money with McDonald’s, Subway Restaurants, Kohl’s, JCPenney’s and Adidas so long as they spend their advertising dollars on radio stations that play hateful, derogatory, misogynistic rap. Those are some of the ways all of us win something bigger than the Super Bowl.

based global order. We would do well to avoid adding to that regrettable record. Recently, an open letter signed by 70 scholars and other experts on Latin America called on the Trump administration to “cease interfering in Venezuela’s internal politics, especially for the purpose of over throwing the country’s government.” Given how polarized the country is, the experts argued, “the only solution is a negotiated settlement.” They called on the U.S. and outside countries to support negotiations between the government and its opponents, rather than to risk fostering a coup that might plunge the country into further violence. It is a time for diplomacy and for restraint, not another intervention that unleashes violence that we surely will come to regret.

Congresswoman says ACA saved her life

U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin said she’d probably be dead if it weren’t for the Affordable Care Act.

Wisconsin lawmaker says her cancer medicine would have been $15,000 a month without coverage. BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA NEWSWIRE

Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore has made a strong and very personal case for lawmakers to keep the Affordable Care Act. In a televised interview, Moore revealed her cancer diagnosis and where she believes she’d be if it weren’t for former President Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation which allows her to afford the treatments and necessary medication to fight the deadly disease. “If I had to pay $15,000 a month for this medicine, I’d be here writing my obituary perhaps instead of talking to you,” Moore told MSNBC in an interview last week.

She said her oral medication, Imbruvica, helps to keep her in remission. Without the insurance coverage, she’d be on the hook for $15,000 per month.

Caught early Prior to taking Imbruvica, Moore said she had intravenous therapy twice a month at a whopping $20,000. “The GOP is always talking about the costs of the ACA: the cost of protecting pre-existing conditions, the cost of essential health benefits, the cost of the individual mandate,” Moore said. “But what about the value of life? The lives of your kids? Your parents? That’s the core of this debate,” she said, adding that she’s “alive today because of comprehensive insurance that covers most” of the money in medication costs per month she now needs. First diagnosed last summer with small lymphocytic lymphoma – a non-Hodgkin lymphoma where the cancer originates in

the lymphatic system – Moore said the disease is manageable because she caught it early and she takes her medicine every day.

Hearing on ACA After her MSNBC appearance, Moore spoke before the House Ways and Means Committee in which members held a hearing on protecting those with pre-existing conditions – a major component of the Affordable Care Act, which President Donald Trump and most Republicans have fought against. Moore and other Democrats, who’ve now taken control of the House, have said they want to reverse the GOP’s decision to take away the individual mandate in the health care law. A decision late last year by a Texas judge who ruled the individual mandate unconstitutional, is currently being appealed and Moore said she hopes Congress will act to protect the law.

Harris, Sanders bill In their attempt to maintain

the law that’s commonly known as Obamacare, Democrats have also pushed a “Medicare-forall” proposal that NPR noted has gained in popularity. Several Democratic presidential hopefuls are getting behind the idea, according to NPR which cited California Sen. Kamala Harris who said her aim would be to eliminate all private insurance. “Who of us has not had that situation, where you’ve got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, ‘I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this,’” Harris said during a CNN town hall. “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on,” she said. Harris was a co-sponsor of a 2017 bill written by Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-Vermont), that would have created a national, singlepayer health system, eliminating the private insurance system.

A scary word Sens. Elizabeth Warren, DMass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, DN.Y., both presidential hopefuls,

also co-sponsored the Sanders Bill, according to NPR. Everyone would get a Medicare card and doctors would have to sign annual agreements to participate. For Moore, that would be ideal, particularly for those who suffer with life-threatening illnesses like cancer. “The mere suggestion that it could be cancer was anathema to me because nobody ever wants to hear the C-word,” Moore said. “All of the while that I was going through the diagnosis and the care that I was getting, I thought about the number of people that I knew who die needlessly from cancer because they didn’t get early diagnosis.” Moore added, “It’s our job as legislators to ensure that no American has to choose between seeking treatment and providing for their families. “I personally know people who marched into the emergency room two weeks before they died because they didn’t have health insurance. I am just a grain of sand on a beach.”

throughout the year and beyond. Here are three tried-and-true ways you and your friends and family can help each other give your hearts a boost.

Eat healthier Try NHLBI’s Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan. It’s free and, when compared to a typical American diet, has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure and improve blood cholesterol levels. The DASH eating plan features fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, beans, nuts and lean meats, and it limits foods that are high in saturated fats, sugars and sodium.

Move more

Getting up and moving helps lower risk of heart disease. You don’t need to put in hours at a time to see results.

Simple ways to reduce your risk for heart disease ‘Our Hearts’ is a national effort to motivate Americans to adopt heart-healthy behaviors. FAMILY FEATURES

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States?

One in four people die from it each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and millions more have it or are at risk of developing the disease. Smoking, being overweight or having diabetes, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease all increase your chances of getting the disease.

‘Never too late’ The good news is that you can do something about it. “It’s never too late – or too early – to lower your risk for heart disease,” said Josephine Boyington, Ph.D., a nurse, licensed nutritionist and program director in the Division of Cardiovascular Health at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health. “Heart disease is a general term for a variety of conditions, such as clogged arteries, that make it difficult for your heart to pump blood properly,” she said. “Adopting small changes,

like moving more and following a heart-healthy eating plan, can make a big difference. Research has shown that making healthy lifestyle changes that last can be a lot easier when you have friends or family doing it with you.”

‘Our Hearts’ initiative To mark American Heart Month, the NHLBI – the nation’s leader in research on the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders – is encouraging that kind of group support. It is celebrating “Our Hearts,” a national effort to motivate Americans to join each other in adopting heart-healthy behaviors

One of the major risk factors for heart disease is inactivity. Getting up and moving helps lower that risk – and you don’t need to put in hours at a time to see results. Breaking up your daily activity into small chunks, such as 10-minute increments three times a day for five days a week, can begin to make a difference. To stay motivated, find a walking buddy or make a standing date to walk with a friend or neighbor, dance at home with your kids or play a pickup soccer or basketball game with colleagues. The bottom line: just move.

Quit smoking It can be hard to stop, but the benefits to your lungs and heart are huge. For inspiration and to keep you motivated, consider a support group. You can find resources and connect with a trained counselor by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visiting smokefree.gov. For more information about heart health, and to discover what activities are going on in your community, visit nhlbi.nih. gov/ourhearts. Use #OurHearts on social media to share how you and your friends and family are keeping your hearts healthy.

ick was not answering questions about the decision to not play Malcolm Butler. On Monday, he was at the annual Super Bowlwinner news conference sharing jokes about plumbers. “Coach makes it a … it’s a challenging football environment,” Brady said Sunday. “The pressure’s always on and, for moments like this, you have to rise to the occasion.”

Brady’s moments Brady already was the oldest quarterback to win an NFL playoff game before he became the oldest to win a Super Bowl. He and the Patriots began this run in 2001, when the Rams were still in St. Louis and TB12 was not a logo. Brady had rough moments in the AFC title game and Super Bowl LIII, missing receivers badly at times and appearing more immobile than ever. His first pass Sunday was intercepted. But, in both games, he threw ridiculously precise passes late to secure victory when defeat could have been a reasonable outcome.

Some uncertainty

Patriots’ dynasty continues despite reports of their demise BY JEFF MILLER LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNS

ATLANTA – The dynasty was doomed — for like the 10th time — as recently as seven weeks ago. New England had just lost consecutive games to fall to 9-5. At that point, it appeared the Patriots would be required to play on wild-card weekend, a foreboding task that finally would crush the kingdom. Instead, Super Bowl LIII most valuable player Julian Edelman and six-time NFL champion Tom Brady spent Monday taking toothy selfies at Disney World, only the second goofiest characters in Orlando. “It doesn’t ever get old,” center David Andrews said Sunday night after New England’s 13-3 victory over the Rams. “It’s the most amazing feeling in the world. It’s the most gratitude feeling in the world to be a part of this team.”

‘We’re still here’ It doesn’t get old for the Patriots. To the rest of the football world, however, New England’s success feels ancient, far more dated than the 18 years since Bill Belichick secured the first of his six titles as the team’s coach. The Patriots have outlived multiple expiration dates, their dynasty supposedly dying for at least a decade. For this latest run, they rallied around “We’re still here,” a slogan that suggested somebody expected them to be gone by now. Silly somebody. “We don’t do it to say, ‘I told you so,’ ” special-teams player Matthew Slater said. “We do it for one another.” Most sticking around So, can the Patriots do it again next season? Waging against them would seem to be as risky an investment as the $3.8 million Bettor X reportedly had riding on

the Rams on Sunday. Yes, New England has the same type of roster-reshaping personnel decisions every team faces. And the Patriots just lost their defensive signal caller, Brian Flores, who became Miami’s coach. But Belichick and Brady aren’t going anywhere, the NFL’s oldest rock-star coach and quarterback saying in recent weeks they plan on staying around longer than their opponents care to ponder. “It’s my job to try to keep it together,” team owner Robert Kraft told the NFL Network. “You know, they’re both independent people. But, I will say this, I think they both love what they do. And they’re in control of their lives, so they don’t have to do anything. And, to be honest, I only want it if it’s something they want.”

The oldest coach The case easily could be made that Belichick is the greatest

NFL coach. It’s an indisputable fact that he hasn’t been selected coach of the year since 2010, which is stunning. He’s 66 and just became the oldest coach to win a Super Bowl, doing so with a team that had only two players selected to the Pro Bowl, one fewer than the New York Giants. Each of the Patriots’ five losses in 2018 came against a team that did not reach the playoffs. They lost consecutive games twice and, for a week in late September, had a losing record.

‘Pressure’s always on’ The night before Super Bowl LIII, the “Miami Miracle” — a 69-yard, game-deciding fire drill that featured one forward pass and two backward ones — was deemed the league’s play of the year. New England was on the wrong end of the miracle. A year ago at this time, Belich-

The fun continues Whatever roster shakeout comes over the next few months, the Patriots won’t be timid. Belichick, quite famously, sent away Drew Bledsoe, Richard Seymour and Randy Moss, among many others. He nearly traded Gronkowski before the 2018 draft but decided against it. On Sunday, the veteran tight end had the key fourthquarter catch that set up the game’s only touchdown. That’s the way fate just seems to work out for the Patriots, who, rather machine-like, have built a dynasty in a league that instituted a salary cap to discourage such things from happening. “I remember when I first came to this team in April, there was a whole media spectacle that it wouldn’t be any fun here,” McCourty said. “It’s my third organization and my 10th season. I haven’t had more fun than this season.” The fun continued Sunday. And, now, 2019 awaits.

ORLANDO – Orlando Magic rookie center Mohamed Bamba has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left tibia, the team announced Tuesday. The team said surgery is not planned at this time and did not offer a timetable for his return, saying that Bamba’s response to rest, non-operative treatment and rehabilitation will determine when he’s able to resume basketball-related activities. “Thankfully we caught this early and are able to treat Mo without surgery,” Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said in a press release. “His return to action will depend on how he responds to treatment.”

The biggest piece of offseason uncertainty for the Patriots is tight end Rob Gronkowski, who could retire. Left tackle Trent Brown, defensive lineman Trey Flowers, receivers Chris Hogan and Cordarrelle Patterson, and defensive back Jason McCourty are free agents. So are kicker Stephen Gostkowski and punter Ryan Allen, who have been key components of the Patriots’ successful special-teams play, which has been a constant during their march to six Super Bowls. “We have been in these situations so many times before in big games and we don’t really blink,” Hogan said. “We practice these situations. We run these situations. We know how to execute in these situations.”

STEPHEN M. DOWELL/ORLANDO SENTINEL/TNS

The Orlando Magic’s Mo Bamba dunks against the Brooklyn Nets at the Amway Center in Orlando on Jan. 18. day’s game with the Thunder. Bamba, who was the Magic’s top pick in the 2018 NBA draft, is averaging 6.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and a team-best 1.36 blocks a game. He ranks fourth among NBA rookies in blocked shots.

A lengthy Bamba absence would mark the second straight season the Magic’s top draft pick missed significant time due to an injury. A foot injury limited Jonathan Isaac to 27 games last season after he was the team’s No. 1

pick in the 2017 draft. With Bamba out, the backup minutes will fall to Khem Birch. He had four points, six rebounds and a blocked shot in that role against the Nets on Saturday.

Fashion designer turning heads with eveningwear Karolyne Ashley gets inspiration from Bahamian and southern roots BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA NEWSWIRE

For clothing designer and entrepreneur Karolyne Ashley, it all begins and ends with love. The Drexel University graduate, who has been featured in Fashion Week events in New York, the Bahamas and Nigeria, said she has a passion for people and believes that the ultimate quality of life is created by loving each other “as deeply as we love ourselves.” That importance, she said, reigns supreme as a core company value and acts as a guide in the process of planning the pieces she creates. “We are excited to share our love and creativity with every woman that wants to tap into their inner goddess. Love is truly the key,” said Ashley, whose company, The Karolyne Ashley Atelier, has created “fantasy” evening wear pieces she says exude the most dreamy types of elegance and glamour.

Timeless attire Ashley’s designs are known for exuberant color palettes and innovative silhouettes, all which serve to capture the hearts of women globally. “We pride ourselves in creating timeless pieces that will stand out within any crowd and turn heads on every red carpet. At the Karolyne Ashley Atelier we create custom evening wear pieces made-to-measure for each of our beautiful clients,” she said. The company works within a community of sustainable design entrepreneurs whose vision is to reshape the impact that fashion has on the world from negative to positive, Ashley said.

Made to measure With a strong focus on glamor-

ous eveningwear and millinery, Ashley brings holistic values to the special occasion and eveningwear markets. “We are committed to produce our garments through sustainable means by utilizing transparent supply chains, producing locally in small curated production houses, and ensuring fair wages throughout our entire production pipeline,” Ashley said. “We believe that beauty shouldn’t compromise our value nor is overindulgence exclusively equal to luxury fashion. With that, all of our products are either made-to-measure in our Karolyne Ashley Atelier or sold presale via our website and at exclusive events.

Gave brother kidney Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Ashley and her family later moved to Richmond, Virginia, where she spent her high school years before relocating to Philadelphia for college. Eventually, she opened a shop in Brooklyn and then relocated to Houston after providing a kidney for her brother who needed a transplant – something Ashley called a simple act of obedience to God. “I knew that I was taking a drastic physical action but had no comprehension of the sacrifices that I would have to make with my business, personal life and mental health,” she noted. The January 2018 surgery proved successful and her brother is doing exceptionally well, Ashley said.

At Orlando conference In Houston, Ashley has opened a studio where she creates lines of eveningwear, bridal, millinery and custom designs. Last month, Ashley attended the NNPA Mid-Winter Training Conference in Orlando. Recently, Ashley was appointed as the head of the Style Shop at Workshop Houston, a nonprofit that focuses on community building through the creative arts. The Style Shop at Workshop

Fashion designer Karolyne Ashley is based in Houston. Houston has fashion, music production, STEM and tutoring programs. Students perform handson projects within each discipline. “As the coordinator of the Style Shop, I am building fashion curriculum that teaches both industry techniques as well as goal centric frameworks to build the students’ social and emotional attributes,” Ashley said.

On Ghana board She also serves on the board of the AU Diaspora African Forum based in Accra, Ghana, where she’s developing programming and collaborations that ultimately will be formed into camps, schools, and training platforms with a primary focus on building up young ones through the cre-

ative arts, entrepreneurship, and economic development. When asked where she gets her inspiration, Ashley said it comes from her parents. “I would say that I am constantly driven and inspired by my family and mixed cultural heritage. My father is Bahamian and my mother grew up in Brooklyn, New York, but has roots deep in the south,” she said. “So, I am drawn to the color and nature of the islands, the charm of the South, and the bustling energy of the city. “This shows up in the layered colors and textures of my work. I have also always maintained a strong spiritual connection which guides me through various life experiences,’’ she added. For more information, visit www.KarolyneAshley.com.
