By David Magee “It is moving very slow, and it is not in a good environment,” she said. “Right now, it is just a small system of storms. But there is a lot of dry air and strong upper level winds that would create shear, which tropical storms don’t like.”

Steve Stewart, a meteorologist at ABC 11 in Raleigh, said on Twitter that the latest models on the disturbance “keep this relatively weak and just some showers possible along the coast before a front swings it back out to sea.”

By Shannon Van Sant Three people were killed in a workplace shooting Thursday morning in northeast Maryland. Several other people were wounded during the attack at a Rite Aid distribution center.

The shooter, identified by the sheriff as Snochia Moseley, 26, of Baltimore County, also died; she shot herself in the head.

Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler told a news conference, “It appears to be a single weapon that

was used, a single handgun. ... We do not believe that there is an additional threat anywhere to our Harford County community.”

A law enforcement source told Reuters that officials think the shooting may have been tied to a work-related grievance.

Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center spokeswoman Monica Stone told NPR the hospital admitted four patients with gunshot wounds from the attack in Aberdeen. Stone said two (Cont’d on page 3)

The Secret to Living to 112 Years Old is Whiskey, Says Oldest Person in Britian

By Cat Wolinski Last Sunday, Grace Jones of Broadway, England celebrated her 112th birthday. She earned the title of oldest person in Britain. Her secret? A nightly tipple of Scotch whisky.

“I started having a nightly tot of it when I turned 50 so I’ve been having it every night for the last 60 years and I certainly have

no intention of stopping now,” Jones, who prefers Famous Grouse, said. “My doctor said ‘keep up with the whisky Grace; it’s good for your heart.’”

Jones, known to her friends and family as “Amazing Grace,” was born in Liverpool, England in 1906. She is a mother of one daughter, 80-year-old Deirdre McCarthy.

David vs Goliath/Survivor Now Playing out in Figi

By Gregg Reese, OW Contributor

By Matt Friedman and Marc Caputo The man who wants to be governor of the Sunshine State is looking to pluck some money from the Garden State.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, a liberal who won the Democratic Party’s nomination in an upset last month, will be the “special guest” at a Sunday fundraiser in Edison, N.J. with a host committee that includes Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Gov. Phil Murphy and U.S. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Donald Milford Payne, both New Jersey Democrats The fundraiser at the Pines Manor party venue benefits Gillum’s political committee, Forward Florida. Tickets range from $250 to $5,000, according to the invitation.

The New Jersey event marks the first (Cont’d on page 5)

Professional researchers spend millions (billions?) of dollars assembling focus groups, market research, and other forms of evaluation methods to determine how to capture the attention (and discretionary income) of the American consumer. In spite of all the academic disciplines applied in these endeavors, the final answer in determining what really sells remains an elusive quantity. For want of any other concrete conclusion, it may safely be said that an overriding motivation is economics.

Even in high-revenue industries such film and television, the issue of finance and production expenses remains a real and compelling issue.

Thusly, periodically segments of the process who feel not adequately compensated rattle the cage for a bigger slice of the pie. Examples of this include the 1988 writer’s strike, which led to the cancellation of several popular prime time shows and shrank audiences as a whole, and the prospect of another strike at the millennium, which led studio bigwigs to seek out alternative viewing fare. This may be a contributing factor in the rise of reality shows, notable “Survivor,” one of the most popular in broadcast history.

For network producers, the appeal of these shows is elementary.

A Proud Paper For A Proud People

Our History Deserves The Adventures Since the inception of modern media, certain narratives have consistently been promoted and only a handful of individuals receive positive recognition publicly. Our mission is to correct this imbalance and give the little guy and gal an opportunity to express themselves. We are determined to give those who deserve a platform an opportunity to control their narrative and share their story.

Our Heroes of Broward initiative will exclusively focus on acknowledging the unsung heroes of our community. From the schoolteachers that spend extra hours and extra money out of their own pockets to provide their students an atmosphere that is conducive for learning. To the childhood friend who opened the doors to their home without hesitation to raise someone else’s child.

We feel an obligation to identify and praise these remarkable people. These are our Heroes and here are their stories.

About five years ago I dived into African studies and I’ve

been swimming in it ever since.

Uncovering the rich yet hidden history of Africans across the diaspora led to the founding of Village Life FL, Inc. I believe as Marcus Garvey once said, “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” Using culture & history coupled with creativity & fun our 501C3 non-profit organization at every turn seeks to unify our community. I am passionate about tackling the negative images that we see of ourselves on every news medium day in and day out while disseminating the knowledge of our dissent from royalty. Our Girl Talk, Saturday School Classes and the annual OURstory Fashion Show & Cultural Expo projects have been so rewarding to develop and a joy for each member of the community that has been involved.

With the help of our supporters we plan to continue the growth of our organization while expanding our reach in the empowerment of our youth.

What is Our Legacy

Is it the successes and triumphs versus the losses, measured in a wins-and-losses format? Is it the total distance traveled past the life obstacles one has overcome? Or is it the amount of people one has connected with and inspired to help them maximize themselves and their potential?

To me, it is a combination of all three. A legacy is a type of personal achievement record, like being “on the record.” It is what we each do with the time given us — how we use or abuse

Rita Jean Eggleton Carter Perry was born on July 24, 1938, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. As a young child, her family relocated to Detroit, Michigan where she spent her youth and attended Detroit Public Schools.

She was the daughter of Christine A. Eggleton Luffborough and the city’s first Black Prosecuting Attorney, Jesse B. Eggleton, Sr., who provided the foundation for her passion for equality and justice. As a young woman, she was very active in fighting for fairness and equal rights during one of our nation’s most trying times – the Civil Rights Movement.

Throughout her formative years, Rita remained actively engaged in “The Movement” by participating in Detroit’s Civil Rights protests and marching with the Rev. Dr. M.L. King, Jr. After attending Wayne State University and the Denver Institute of Art, she returned home to Detroit to work in marketing and promotions at the worldrenowned Motown Records.

She also studied at the University of Detroit, preparing herself for a career that would take her to cities all around the country.

Pfizer R ar e Disease Intr oduces Council for Change to Further Help SCD P atients Rar are Introduces Patients

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent Following a report earlier this year that drew attention to the challenges of living with sickle cell disease and the urgent need for change in patient care – particularly in hospital emergency departments – Pfizer Rare Disease brought together the Sickle Cell Disease Council for Change (CFC).

The CFC consists of more than 20 national Sickle Cell Disease advocates, patients, and experts who tackle the pressing issues faced by those living with the disease. The CFC is focused on improving quality of patient care along with enhancing edu-

cation and advocacy for the Sickle Cell Disease community.

Sickle Cell Disease is a lifelong debilitating blood disorder that causes reduced blood and oxygen flow in the body, often resulting in organ damage and severe pain.

“The CFC was formed because there is urgent need to change the acute care paradigm for sickle cell disease patients.

Pfizer [Rare Disease] is committed to working with the CFC to ensure that these issues are addressed as quickly as possible,” said Dr. Kevin Williams, chief medical officer of Pfizer Rare Disease.

As part of its mission of education and advocacy, the CFC

Multiple people killed and wounded (Cont'd from FP) patients were stable, and two seriously injured.

Christiana Care Health System spokesman Hiran Ratnayake said one person injured in the shooting was being treated at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del. Ratnayake said the person was in serious condition.

Reports came in at about 9:06 a.m. from the distribution center that shots were being fired.

Maryland’s Gov. Larry Hogan tweeted Thursday morning that law enforcement was on the scene. “We are closely monitoring the horrific shooting in Aberdeen,” Hogan wrote. “Our prayers are with all those impacted, including our first responders. The State stands ready to offer any support.”

No shots were fired by law enforcement officers on the scene, the sheriff said.

“Unfortunately in today’s world we have active shooter ... drills,” Harford County Chief Executive Barry Glassman told

the news conference. “And I can tell you, and tell our Harford County citizens, that every agency performed at the top of their profession, and the response from all our allied agencies was great.”

Susan Henderson, a spokeswoman for Rite Aid, told CNN Wire, the distribution center has about 1,000 employees.

“The distribution center is where products are received and processed for delivery,” she said. “This is part of a large facility that is a distribution center. The shooting happened adjacent to the primary build-ing.”

The attack comes nearly three months after a gunman shot dead five staff members of The Capital Gazette Gazette, in Annapolis, Md., 59 miles from the Rite Aid distribution center.

Last year, three were killed and two injured in a shooting at a kitchen countertop company in Edgewood, Md., 11 miles from Thursday morning’s attack.

The Capital Gazette reports that Thursday’s shooting in Aberdeen is the third work-

published a report, “Improving Vasoocclusive Crisis (VOC) Management,” which focuses on elevating the care paradigm in hospital emergency departments. Since Sickle Cell Disease treatment options are limited, the current practice is to focus on pain management, often with opioid medications, according to the report.

The impact of Sickle Cell Disease.

Sickle Cell Disease affects about 100,000 people in the United States, with the majority being those of African descent, Pfizer officials said. Although Sickle Cell Disease was identified more than 100 years ago, there has been little advanceplace shooting in the U.S. in 24 hours: “Four people were shot around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at a software company, WTS Paradigm, in Middleton, Wisc., by a 43-year-old co-worker, police said. The gunman was shot and killed by police. Three of the injured were in serious condition as of Thursday morning, one suffered a graze wound.

“Then, around 2 p.m., four people including a police officer were shot after a man opened fire outside a judge’s office in a municipal building in Masontown, Penn. The suspect, Patrick Dowdell, 61, was shot and killed by police. Dowdell had a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday on domestic charges of strangulation, aggravated assault and terroristic threats from an incident several weeks ago.”

Glassman, the county chief executive, said Thursday that shootings are “becoming a too often occurrence, not only in Harford County, but in the country.”

ment when it comes to its treatment, management and the overall understanding of the pathophysiology of the di-sease.

VOCs are the hallmark symptom and one of Sickle Cell Disease’s most significant challenges. These pain crises, which some patients experience several times per year, are so severe that patients may end up in an emergency room, desperate for help, according to a published report.

Given the need for repeated treatments, people with Sickle Cell Disease may build up a tolerance to certain medications and, as a result, require higher doses over time. Some emergency room staff may confuse dosage tolerance with dependence, and mistakenly view a patient with Sickle Cell Disease as a “drug seeker,” misunderstanding the legitimacy of the pain—a major barrier to care for these patients.

Improving the Standard of Care. Exploring treatment options.

The vision for CFC was born out of a round-table discussion several years ago, when a handful of patients and physicians

“The Council For Change was formed because there is urgent need to change the acute care paradigm for sickle cell disease patients. Pfizer is committed to working with the Council For Change to ensure that the issues are addressed as quickly as possible,” said Dr. Kevin Williams, chief medical officer of Pfizer Rare Disease.

The significant stigma that discussed their everyday chalSickle Cell Day patients face lenges with suboptimal acute Limited access to healthcare care for patients with Sickle providers knowledgeable in Cell Disease.

An early start on the path to hope (Cont'd from FP) of underrepresentation by the very leaders that make us promises of better but end up leaving us worse off. Mr. Gillum stopped to listen to my concerns, responding to my questions directly while phones flashed and hands attempted to pull him aside for a chance photograph.

It is finally our time, we can make things better and we need to get out and vote were common statements in this setting, and I’m sure many of us were thinking we would get more of the same, but something was

different. There was a light, a glow of aspiration. Representative Alcee Hastings felt it; he could barely speak from smiling so hard. Today passion was reawakened in the state of Florida, a task that is nearly impossible among the many who still struggle to make ends meet even while working more than one job, a topic the future Governor made clear was a major concern of his.

Where we are going Will this be the year? Will this leader be unaffected by the luring caress of power? Will this leader stay true to his promise

to represent ALL the people of Florida? I believe he will. Let us see if he proves Special thanks to the leaders or our community: Representative Al Hastings, Dr. Rosalind Osgood of the Broward School Board, Sheriff Scott Israel, Commissioner Dale Holness and the all the other officials present. Your commitment to making our county one to be admired is noticed and held to heart. To the rest of the guests, all of whom made this event a success by simply being there, you have made it clear that you understand that the future of our state needs all hand on deck.

Let’s get to work!

Former Florida Police Chief Guilty of framing three Black Men A federal court hearing confirmed that former Police Chief Raimundo Atesiano directed three police officers on his department to accuse a series of crimes on three innocent men, all of them Black.

By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor In 2013, then Biscayne Park Police Chief Raimundo Atesiano informed community leaders of the Biscayne Park Police Department’s perfect clearance record for solving crimes: It was 100 percent. According to Atesiano, his police department

near Miami was perfect at solving burglaries.

On Sept. 21, 2018 it was revealed in a plea agreement that the former chief directed his officers to frame unsolved cases on three Black men. A federal court hearing confirmed that former Chief Atesiano directed three police officers on his department to accuse a series

of crimes on three innocent men, all of them Black.

In August, Biscayne Park Police Officers Charlie Dayoub, 38, and Raul Fernandez, 62, pleaded guilty to falsifying the arrest affidavits for a 16-yearold Black suspect in four breakins from June 2013.A second false arrest was made on a man named Clarence Desrouleaux.

Desrouleaux, 35, was deported

to Haiti as the result of being framed and sentenced to five years.A third man, Erasmus Banmah, 31, was falsely accused for burglary.

Former Chief Atesiano, 52, pled guilty to conspiracy for the framings. The conspiracy convictions carry up to 10 years (Read full story at: www.thewestsidegazette.com)

National Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump says he’s prepared to take police officer’s case to Supreme Court Crump joins lawsuit to seek justice on behalf of formerWarrensville Heights Police Officer Nakia Jones CLEVELAND, OHIO — Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump today announced today at a press conference in Cleveland that he is joining Attorney John Myers as co-counsel in representing Nakia Jones in her lawsuit against the City of War-rensville Heights, the mayor and the chief of police.

Jones was fired from the po-lice force after posting a social media video advocating against improper police use of force that has been viewed more than 20 million times.

She is suing on claims of racial discrimination while on the force and retaliation for posting an opinionated video on her personal social media account about the police shooting death of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Crump and Jones are releasing the following statements on this matter: “Yes, I am a law enforcement officer, but I am an African American mother first. I joined the force to bridge the gap between community and law enforcement. Yet, when I tried to make the world a better place and built that bridge, I had no support from my department whatsoever. I entrusted my fellow officers to know and defend my character, but instead, my whole department turned against me. An officer even threatened to put a bullet in the back of my head. I felt alone. I felt abandoned by my brothers and sisters in uniform who knew me and what I stood for.” — Nakia Jones “Nakia Jones has a First Amendment right as an American to speak up against injustice. When freedom of speech is under attack, it becomes a national issue. That’s why I am prepared to take this matter to

the highest court in the land.

Why don’t police officers speak up when they see illegal or immoral things? Therefore. Ms. Jones has been abandoned by her department and her union because she chose to speak truth

to power. Everyone is quick to defend police officers, especially with the creation of the Blue Lives Matter movement. Where is the support for Nakia Jones?”

Nigeria: Christian boys murdered, bodies slashed by sachetes; 250 massacred in two months

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter Two Christian boys were murdered last week

by Fulani radicals in Plateau State in Nigeria, with the violence having claimed over 250 lives in two months.

International Christian Concern reported that the bodies of Ntyang Pam Danjuma and Mesheck Dalyop Kang’ageda, aged 9 and 10 respectively, were found maimed by bullets and slashed by machetes. They had been killed on Sept. 14 while caring for a herd of cows, though a third child that was with them was able to escape.

Local police have said that they are searching for the attackers, believed to be Fulani Muslim radicals who have killed thousands of Christians since the beginning of the year.

“The Nigerian government continues to be complacent in dealing with the problem of the Fulani militants, who have in 2018 killed nearly three times as many people as Boko Haram,” ICC said.

Without examining Cosby and apparently using just trial testimony, the “expert” witness said she determined that the star “is a sexually violent predator who, even at his advanced age and handicap, would likely reoffend.”

As has been his pattern throughout the more than three-year legal process, Judge Steven T. O’Neill ruled against Cosby by declaring that the sexually violent predator designation is not unconstitutional.

Lending further weight to those who believe that Cosby was railroaded, is the designation by a state-employed psychologist that the star is a sexually violent predator.

Without examining Cosby and apparently using just trial testimony, the “expert” witness said she determined that the star “is a sexually violent predator who, even at his advanced age and handicap, would likely re-offend.”

Cosby’s team fought the designation using its own expert, who contended that the state’s designation was unconstitutional and noted that the only crime for which Cosby has ever been charged, is the 2003 or 2004 incident with Andrea Constand which led to his conviction this year.

was given only a 20 percent chance of re-forming into an officially named tropical depression or storm within the next five days. But 20 percent is something, and it’s worth monitoring, since Florence behaved in a highly unusual manner, striking the East Coast from a position in the Atlantic that rarely occurs. And, the National Hurricane Center said in its Friday morning update, Disturbance 3 may find conditions more conducive to slow strengthening next week.

“Although a combination of dry air and strong upper-level winds is expected to inhibit any significant development over the next few days, the environment could become conducive for slow development when the system moves over the southwest Atlantic Ocean during the middle part of next week,” the NHC said.

If the system re-forms, it won’t be called Florence again, since that name has been used and the storm has dissipated. The likely name next up would be Kirk, and it could impact the East Coast, possibly delivering more rain to the Carolinas.

“It could bring some rainfall, but that might be seven or more days out,” Oliva said, according to StarNewsOnline. “Right now, it is all very, very unsure.”

Meanwhile, parts of North Carolina and South Carolina continue dealing with widespread flooding from Hurricane Florence. Some areas received 30 to 40 inches of rain over days, and rivers are still flooding the region.

A new round of evacuations was ordered Friday in South Carolina as the trillions of gallons of water dumped by Hurricane Florence meander to the sea, raising river levels and threatening more destruction, according to the Associated Press. ************************************************

SIDE BAR -- At best 42 deaths have now been accredited to Hurricane Florence, due to the highest recorded flooding on record according to officials. Nine lives lost in South Carolina, two in Virginia, and 31 fatalities in North Carolina.

More than half of those killed were in vehicles.

It is estimated by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper that damage will be in the billions of dollars, there is still uncertainty since the flooding is ongoing.

Something to think about is that a week after Hurricane Florence overwhelmed parts of North and South Carolina fragments of Florence in the Atlantic are trying to reconstruct, and the National Hurricane Center it’s a 20 percent chance of regrouping. Victoria Oliva, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Wilmington office, said that, “it is not likely to find the extremely favorable conditions that fueled Florence.”

Get Ready To Vote “Like You Mean It”!

Money Has Shaped the Political Machinery and Elections

By Roger Caldwell

“The millionaire class and the billionaire class increasingly own the political process, and they own the politicians that go to them for money.

We are moving very quickly from a democratic society, one person, one vote, to an oligarchic form of society, where billionaires would be determining who the elected officials of this country are.” says Sen. Bernie Sanders.

As soon as a candidate wins an election, the next week he/she is starting to solicit more money for the next election. Once the elected official settles into office, the money folks start asking for favors. Especially, if the company or individual contributed to the winner’s election, the politician is able to make time for a meeting or a meal.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans are notorious in saying that financial contributions do not affect their decisions. But all Americans know that once you take the money, at some point, they will start calling.

There is a thin line between bending a rule and breaking a law. Political donations come in many forms, and flying in a billionaire’s jet can be construed as a political gift, and breaking the law.

Recently, in almost 75% of the states in the country, someone in a political office hasbeen sent to prison for breaking the law. Starting from the lowest level of a city commissioner to a state governor has been caught with their fingers in the cookie jar. In Illinois 4

Jim Clyburn for Speaker of the House

ference for both Sessions of the 104th Congress. In the 105thCongress, he was unanimously elected Chair of the CBC. As CBC Chair, Jim successfully led the effort to desegregate the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4thCircuit. Clyburn successfully engaged the GAO to conduct a study of restorations and preservation needs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, which led to comprehensive legislation to preserve and restore historic buildings on HBCU campuses across the country. The House recently appropriated another $8 million to continue this effort. He has helped the caucus develop legislation to restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act and expand access to the ballot, and recently led the fight to defend the Affordable Care Act. In 2002, Jim was elected Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus. He was elected Chair in 2005, Majority Whip in 2006, and Assistant Democratic Leader in 2010. In every capacity he has been inclusive and selfless.

In addition, as Whip, he chaired the House Democratic Task Force on Hurricane Katrina, shepherding numerous bills into law, contributing to the rebuilding of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

Today, as Assistant Leader, Clyburn has earned the respect of Democrats on Capitol Hill as well as throughout the country. Jim also has helped to raise significant amounts of money for numerous Democratic candidates.

Every August Jim and his wife, Emily – whom he met in jail during one of his SNCC incarcerations – host a Health Fair, Food Bank, Back-toSchool bash and Scholarship Banquet for families and communities along the I-95 corridor. This year they awarded $250,000 in cash, laptops and software packages to 127 needy, collegebound students, resulting in a total of $4.9 million in student aid their Foundation has awarded to students over more than 30 years. This effort by the Clyburns precedes Jim’s outstanding congressional service.

In conclusion, in America’s 233 years as a republic, we have never had an African American Speaker of the House. The time has now come for serious consideration. The midterm elections are only a few weeks away. We will be voting in record numbers and after the November 6, 2018 elections results are reported, there will be new opportunities and responsibilities to reorganize the newly elected U.S. Congress.

African Americans continue to be a major determinative component of the current resurgence of the Democratic Party and are key to winning and maintaining a new majority in the U.S. Congress. Simply put, we are very tired of hearing, “Wait your turn.”

It is our turn. We demand respect and accountability for our longstanding and solid support of the Democratic Party. Elect Jim Clyburn Speaker of the House.

As America gets closer to the midterm election, it takes more money to win. Every candidate is asking for more money, and everyone wonders where all that money goes. When one candidate spends over 30 million dollars of his own money for a primary, politics makes no sense, and voters think the system is corrupt.

There is a fundamental problem in the system, because if you don’t have money you cannot win your election.

The Democrats complain about the Republicans having too much money, and the Republicans say the same thing about the Democrats, but all the candidates are spending and asking for money.

Congressman James E. Clyburn (D-SC)

“…in America’s 233 years as a republic, we have never had an African American Speaker of the House. The time has now come for serious consideration. The midterm elections are only a few weeks away.”

By Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., NNPA President and CEO WASHINGTON, DC — No one questions the fact that for the past six decades, African Americans have overwhelmingly supported and voted for Democratic Party candidates for the United States Congress. In the upcoming 2018 midterm elections, African Americans by the millions will once again cast the clear majority of their votes for Democratic Party candidates for governors and members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

The mission of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), representing the Black Press of America, is to report the news and to be an advocate for freedom, justice and equality for Black America and for all others who stand in opposition to racism and economic inequality and cry out for a better quality of life.

Last week, during the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, the NNPA awarded Congressman James E. Clyburn (D-SC) our 2018 National Leadership Award for outstanding service and commitment to equality and justice.

From time to time, it is our mandate and responsibility to express our collective editorial opinion about the interests of the 47 million African Americans who strive to empower, sustain, protect, and care for our families and communities.

It is, therefore, appropriate for me to support and express, on behalf of the 220 Black-owned newspapers and media companies affiliated with the NNPA across the nation, that Congressman Jim Clyburn should be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.

During this time of renewed civic and political fervor for a more progressive, inclusive and diverse democracy in the United States, it is past-due time that Jim Clyburn should be given the opportunity to lead the U.S. Congress as Speaker of the House.

Clyburn is uniquely qualified to be the Speaker and his timely elevation to this historic and vitally important position will help put to rest the widespread notion that the Democratic Party takes African American votes for granted.

Given the current increased racial divide and regional polarizations in this regressive era of President Donald Trump, there is no better prepared member of the U.S. Congress than Jim Clyburn, with his base in rural and urban South Carolina, to help lead the House of Representatives forward.

Jim began public service as a college student fighting for equal rights and fair treatment alongside John Lewis in the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), of which they were founding members. I have known Clyburn since those transformative days in the 1960s when young student leaders of SNCC and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., advanced the enactment and fulfillment of civil rights.

Clyburn served as Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation’s Annual Legislative Con-

The Accusation That Wouldn’t Go Away

By Robert C. Koehler Sexual assault is such a nuisance, not only, but especially, for Republicans.

Here’s the Wall Street Journal editorial board, attempting, with gentlemanly politeness, to dispense with Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh as quickly as possible: “Yet there is no way to confirm her story after 36 years, and to let it stop Mr. Kavanaugh’s confirmation would ratify what has all the earmarks of a calculated political ambush.

“This is not to say Christine Blasey Ford isn’t sincere in what she remembers.” But . . .

out of 7 recent governors have gone to prison for corruption and fraud.

“I gave to many people, before this.

Two months ago, I was a businessman.

I give to everybody.

When they call, I give. And do you know what? When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me. And that’s a broken system,” – Donald Trump in 2015.

When the president of the country brags about giving a donation to an official for a favor, it is obvious that the system is broken and shaped by who gives the most money.

In Virginia in 2014, former Governor Bob Mc Donnell and his wife Maureen were charged with accepting more than $140,000 in loans and gifts, in exchange for promoting the business of a pol-itical patron who was seeking special favors. Two years later the Supreme Court unanimously overturned the public corruption conviction.

In Florida’s southwest coast, gagging over the stink of dead fish and marine mammals has a point when they call Governor Rick Scott – Red Tide Rick. The EFA let the state make up their own rules, and Floridians can see and smell how well that is turn-ing out.

One of the first things Governor Scott did as governor was to reject a high-speed rail line with good-paying jobs, and Governor Scott was considered the worst governor in the country. As a billionaire, he has continued to invest and grow his companies, here and around the world, as governor of Florida.

Many residents ask, “Why would a billionaire spend 30 million of his own money to take a job making two or three hundred thousand dollars?”

The answer is following the money, because when you leave the job, you are usually a millionaire in the higher statewide positions. If you are a millionaire, you will double the opportunity to grow your business, and billionaires double and triple their investments.

Whether you are a Democrat, Republican or independent, politics is about getting paid and making deals.

By Nicole Nutting Tuesday Sept. 25th is designated National Voter Registration Day, a reminder before the November election to get squared away with the Registrar of Voters in your area. The clock is ticking, and mid-term elections are just 6 weeks out.

This may well be the most important vote of our lifetimes, no exaggeration. Our government has been commandeered by a force hostile to our civil rights and protections, one which would drag us back to the climate of the 1950’s where women and “colored” knew their place. Our elected officials are complicit, shirking their duty to the electorate and the US Constitution. It is up to “we, the people” to be the brakes on this runaway bus, lest some of us find ourselves mandated once again to sit in the BACK of the bus...

EVERY VOTE COUNTS! Even if it’s raining cats and dogs on election day, get out and vote. Whether you have the toothache from Hell, get out and vote. If your car breaks down, hitch a ride and get out and vote. The outcome of this election determines whether America will continue as a democracy or devolve into a dictatorship, a terrifying prospect which overrides every sorry excuse not to participate.

Some places have a deadline to register. If you haven’t signed up yet, this website will guide you: https:// ready2vote.com/register-to-vote/ Be aware that the GOP is up to it’s dirty little tricks in the realm of voter suppression, and may have “accidentally on purpose” purged your name from the voter rolls. Even if you voted in 2016, or all your live-long days, you could have mysteriously disappeared from the record. Make no assumptions—verify! Check on that BEFORE any registration deadline at this website: https://www.vote.org/am-iregistered-to-vote/ The Chi Lites sang it in 1971: “we got to give more power to the people!”

Together we can drive change—we’ve done it before, and we can do it again.

No, we NEED to do it again.

“Honor the Treaties”

Cancel Kavanaugh

Bill Fletcher, Jr. is the former president of TransAfrica Forum

By Matthew Johnson

By Bill Fletcher, Jr. Please forgive me, but I had not seen the film before. I stumbled across it when I was recently flying across country. Honor the Treatises is one of the most compelling documentaries I have seen in some time. It concerns the conditions of the Indians on the Pine Ridge Reservation (South Dakota) through the work of a photographer, Aaron Huey. But the film is about more than that.

This is a film about poverty (90% of those on the reservations live below the poverty line) and it is a film about prisoners of war who, as Huey narrates, are left in their prison while the prison guards have gone. It is, therefore, a film about the destruction of a people through, among other things, their being restricted from accessing the land which is theirs.

It was this notion of prisoners of war left while the guards have departed that was so compelling and immediately clicked. It made me think not only about Native Americans/Indians, but other displaced peoples such as the Palestinians and the Sahrawis.

In each case it is not enough for the settler population to steal the land, but they must go further and destroy the people. Destroying the people involves creating a situation of despair in which the oppressed may no longer recognize the oppressor but, instead, turn on one another. Within Black America we have certainly experienced this.

In watching the film, one had to confront the matter of genocide. In looking at the various scenes in the film one gets the sense that the population is just holding on and could, quite literally, disappear. Because this slow-moving-genocide is not a subject addressed in most national television, or even social media, I have no reason to believe that anyone would know, let alone care about the extinction of a people.

It is shameful that we are still talking about Bret Kavanaugh. He should be gone. Finished. Yesterday’s news.

After the latest allegation of sexual assault against him by one of his classmates at Yale, a clear pattern has been established that reveals the Supreme Court nominee to be a drunken partygoer who has gone at least as far as to expose his genitalia to a semi-conscious, inebriated female and attempt to force himself on another — apparently buoyed by positive affirmation from his meathead male friends. It’s highly unlikely that this was the extent of his sexually aggressive behavior. After all, it is not as if he were ever held accountable for any of it (he may well not be held accountable it now) — and when has a powerful man ever changed for the better if not held accountable?

The good news is there’s a real opportunity to not only bring about justice for the survivors of his transgressions but also to bring about a political victory that goes beyond keeping him from becoming the next conservative ideologue on the court, establishing a clear 5-4 majority of reaction. This victory would also go beyond potentially blocking Trump’s vain attempt to escape his own comeuppance through packing the judiciary in his favor. This victory would be for women and for all those who support their rights.

I would see it as a victory for myself personally. I do not want to live in an America where a drunken frat boy who sexually assaults women can become a Supreme Court justice. I already live in an America where an illmannered, narcissistic moron (accused of sexual impropriety by more than a dozen women himself) is president.

Enough is enough.

I am worried that boys will grow up and be told by their relatives: “Don’t worry, Jimmy, you can pull out your (Read full story at www.thewestsidegazette.com)

The Polo Shirt Collection includes a new Lauderhill Breast Cancer Logo on a brand-new style Polo-shirt. In addition, we are offering an array of new colors to choose from! Get your Lauderhill Breast Cancer Awareness Swag now so on October 1st, you can roll out your new look!

Shirts are only $30, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation.

Second, as night falls on October 1st, drive by City Hall located at 5581 W. Oakland Park Boulevard to see the new twostory tall PINK TWINKLING LIGHT RIBBON that will hang from the roof top. This ribbon was designed and made just for the City of Lauderhill. The ribbon will light up Oakland Park

Boulevard like never before!

“The components of Lauderhill’s Breast Cancer Campaign appear light hearted with a bit of glamor and fashion. I do this to gently remind us all to get tested for breast cancer. Most people, including myself, have felt the horrible effects of what cancer can do to a family. So please see the shirts, the ribbon and all of the many reminders during the month of October and get checked. Take a loved one to get checked,” exclaims Commissioner Bates.

Finally, an Official City Proclamation will be given to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation on October 29th.

Please join us that night at the Commission Meeting and drop off a donation in one of the many pink buckets around City Hall.

“I would like to thank all the residents who get involved in this effort. I also commend the City Staff who hold bake sales and fundraisers all month long to raise funds for this cause. It is quite beautiful to see everyone come together for Breast Cancer,” concludes Commissioner Bates.

Nor ton to Intr oduce Bill R equiring F eder al Ag encies to Ad ver tise Norton Introduce Requiring Feder ederal Agencies Adv ertise with Minority-Owned Media

By Stacy M. Brown WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced that she will introduce a bill to require all federal agencies to include in their annual

budget requests to Congress the amount they spent in the most recent fiscal year on advertising contracts with newspapers and media companies owned by minorities and women.

Norton’s bill would also re-

quire the agencies to produce projections of their spending for the upcoming fiscal year.

“The federal government is the largest advertiser in the United States, and it has an obligation to ensure fair access to its contracts for minority and

Michelle Obama Co-Chairs ‘When We All Vote’ When We All Vote, a nonpartisan organization inspiring voter turnout in the run up to Election Day in November, is working on a National Week of Action. Former First Lady Michelle Obama is serving as a co-chair.

“When We All Vote, we get new ideas and new energy. We get leaders that share our values” says Mrs. Obama in a new commercial running on prominent digital platforms and on radio across the U.S. The commercial will air over the 14 days before voter registration deadlines. On September 20, When We All Vote launched a text message campaign allowing people to text We All Vote to 97779 for voter registration information.

The 2018 cycle has been propelled by two elements: Dislike of President Donald Trump and a record number of women running for office.

The congresswoman, who has served in the House of Representatives since 1991, said she will also send letters to all

12 appropriations subcommittees during the next appropriations cycle requesting that they require each agency under their jurisdiction to include this advertising data in their budget requests.

What Republican Rule Looks Like in Key Swing State

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent With voter registration drives principally aimed at trying to win back the House and possibly the Senate in Washington, Democrats have seen their efforts to establish legislation to help all citizens stymied

by Republicans who serve as the majority in both of those key legislative branches of government.

This almost helpless situation also has played out across the country in state legislatures where the GOP holds the upper hand.

Currently, Republicans control 26 state governments while Democrats hold the majority in just eight states, according to Ballotpedia. There are six states where Democrats control the legislature but a Republican sits in the governor’s mansion.

Similarly, there are six states in which Republicans control the legislature, but a Democrat serves as governor, including Pennsylvania, where the GOP has routinely stymied attempts at gun control, criminal justice reform and affordable health care.

With a new legislative session convening, it’s anticipated that very little Commonwealth business will see completion.

That’s because the GOP-con-

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton stands with NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., and members of the Black and Hispanic press at a news conference on Capitol Hill in 2016. ( Washington Informer Photo)

“My bill would provide the transparency to ensure federal agencies are striving to reach minorities, who often get their daily news from smaller media outlets who serve communities of color,” Norton said.

Two years ago, Norton led a group of Congressional members in requesting a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on the federal advertising contract obligations to small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) and those owned by minorities and women.

During a news conference on Capitol Hill alongside numerous African American and Latino newspaper publishers and owners from the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) and the National Alliance of Hispanic Publications, Norton demanded accountability.

After a shaky start against the Raiders, the Dolphins pulled out a 28 to 20 win. Currently at 3-0 the Dolphins lead the AFC East division, with the Bills, Jets, and Patriots all tied at 1-2. “I hope it’s something that builds confidence in the guys. If you look at our team the way it’s built and games like the first home game, the longest game in history, and games like the past game where it could have gone either way and we had to fight and scratch and claw and do whatever it took to get that W,�

Cameron Wake said about starting 3-0. “I hope ‌ I mean it builds character, regardless of what else goes on. It wasn’t pretty but whatever it took to win, guys did it. And 3-0 feels good. It definitely feels good, but at the same time, you’ve got to wipe the slate clean. Enjoy it for the next 24 hours or so, pat yourself on the back and get in there tomorrow and fix the things that we didn’t do so well and erase the board and let’s move on. We’ve got to be 1-0 after next week.â€? So far, they are off to a good start, but it’s still 13 more games to go.

The Raiders struck first scoring on the first drive going 75 yards in just four plays, which ended with a touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson. It looked like from there it was going to be a long day for the defense, and the offense got off to a slow start punting on three straight drives and scoring their first touchdown in the second quarter. There was a scary moment early in the second quarter where William Hayes tore his ACL trying to follow the NFL’s new rule after sacking Derek Carr. The NFL is starting to protect the quarterback even more by penalizing defenders for roughing the passer by landing their weight on the quarterback. This rule came about because Aaron Rodgers was sacked and suffered a broken collarbone last season.

This season Clay Matthews was pen-alized more than once for roughing the passer. In the postgame defensive tackle Davon Godchaux had some words about Hayes’ injury. “It was big because Hayes is my guy. I kind of wanted to shed a tear on that, no lie; but at the end of the day we had to get up and keep fighting. I got nicked

up on my ankle, Branch got nicked up, but we had to keep fighting through. There was no way I was coming out of the game with two minutes left and leaving two d-tackles.

There was no way. I couldn’t look myself in the eye the next day. There was no way I was coming out. “After that first drive the defense started to come alive only allowing 3 more points in the first half, they were out scored 10 to 7.

In the second half, it was a different story. The Dolphins outscored the Raiders 21 to 10.

Overall Ryan Tannehill had a good game,completing 17 of 23 passes for 289 yards with 3 touchdowns.He also added 26 rushing yards which was the

most rushing yards for the Dolphins. They won this game through the air, because the rushing game was nonexistent.

Frank Gore had 12 total yards rushing while Kenyan Drake had 3 yards. Dolphins receiver Albert Wilson also had a touchdown pass to wide receiver Jakeem Grant. “We were working at it the whole time and finally got to run it in the game. Coach was telling us this whole time it’s going to be there;just use your speed and run. I trusted my boy Albert every single time in practice it was always on the money.�

Jakeem says about the trick pass play. He had 2 receiving touchdown passes with 70 receiving yards. Albert Wilson

and Kenny Stills also had a receiving touchdown.

The offense started to really click after the four stalling drives. The offensive line was also able to protect Tannehill, only allowing one sack. The Dolphins have receivers who can really fly and Jakeem Grant also has faith in the receiving team. “Coach always says go out there and just run.

A lot of defenders are going to be terrified of the speed. It’s very hot here we’re used to the heat and humidity and so we are just going to go out there and run so let’s see if they can run for four quarters.� Their next game will be a tough rivalry game on the road against the Patriots. The

Patriots defense has given up 77 points in the first three combined games while the Dolphins defense have given up 52 combined points in their three games. The Dolphins have scored 75 combined points while the Patriots have scored 57 combined points. IT seems as if Miami is on a mission to release the strangle hold on the AFC East that the Patriots have had. If they can put pressure on the quarterback and if the receivers can fly and make catches they can be 4-0. Sunday September 30 at 1:00 the rivalry game begins.

A Proud Paper For A Proud People

Congratulations to Chef Creole, the Urban League of Broward County and Hosanna 4 Youth for hosting genius community engagement events thrive. (cash app to donate $Hosanna4Youth.)

Events like the ones mentioned above provide an interactive experience for supporters, as well as an opportunity to authentically connect with the brand. I took pictures with Chef Creole and exchanged business cards with his supporters. The Urban League CEO Germain Baugh touched our hearts with her vision and accomplishments

I am pleased to report that Chef Creole, the Urban League of Broward County and Hosanna 4 Youth left event goers speechless this weekend! Collectively, these entities warmed my marketing soul as they used events to increase brand awareness and community engagement. Having a passion for events, I encourage entrepreneurs to go beyond typical media ads, digital posts and radio slots and create a unique experience that your community is unlikely to ever forget.

Chef Ken Sejour Wilkinson, owner of Chef Creole, a Miami based restaurant serving Haitian cuisine out of 5 locations, stirred up excitement by opening his sixth restaurant, the latest located at the Miami International Airport. It was a joyous occasion as Chef Sejour aka Chef Creole celebrated 26 years in business. Guests networked, ate, danced, took selfies and energized the airport outshining the Ethiopian Airport grand opening happening simultaneously. A Haitian Junkanoo band opened the event before Yours Truly, Crystal Chanel (The MOC) took the mic and started the program.

There was an opening prayer, followed by words from the airport director, proclamations from Congresswoman Frederica Wilson and State Representative Barbara Jordan. Chef Creole gave the closing remarks before ribbon cutting. It was a moment in time that family, friends and colleagues will never forget. (http:// www.chefcreole.com) A few days later, The Urban League of Broward County hosted its annual Red Gala with the theme : Agents of the Future. Gala goers arrived at the Diplomat Beach Resort to a networking/silent auction welcome reception. Drinks flowed as guests waltzed around the lobby dressed in glitter, sequins, and everything out of this world before entering the dinner room. The dining room was ready for the future with flat screen TVs visible from any angle and electronic tablets displaying the event program, menu and so much more to save paper. Host Calvin Hughes of Channel 10 introduced the speakers and award recipients whose mission aligned with The Urban League to positively impact the underprivileged and underserved sectors of society.

The event was well attended, and I am certain donors were satisfied with how their financial contributions were used. (https://www.ulbroward.org/ donate).

Hosanna 4 Youth, a nonprofit organization, rounded out the weekend with their No More Family Secrets Luncheon bringing awareness, education and resources to anyone affected by molestation, incest and rape. It was a heavy event for me to host, but the mission of protecting the village from predators is vital. Abuse survivor and Author Jonathan Spikes boldly shared a riveting testimony. My Soul is Bleeding Monologuers delivered a powerful performance and Hosanna 4 Youth Founder Angine Moss delivered a testimony that shook the ground. She recovered from molestation, promiscuity, and drug addiction to establish Hosanna 4 Youth five years ago as a community resource to help survivors not only survive but

and hearing the stories of abuse survivors at Hosanna 4 Youth made me realize we have an obligation to be better friends, parents and members of society. Some things cannot be expressed in a 30 second radio or tv spot or 154 characters on Twitter. Some things must be experienced, so at this time, I say thank you to Chef Creole, The Urban League and Hosanna 4 Youth for an amazing

experience. I know the communities you serve will be back for more. Additional event recap pictures can be found on my social media pages.
