Care Team headed by Tina Wozniak, Lucas County Commissioner
sponsors Resource Fair at Frederick Douglass Center
BY JURRY TAALIB-DEEN
Journal Staff Writer
Over 10 government and private agencies, including health,
and job entities, disseminated information to the public, about their
services, at the Frederick Douglass Center, 1001 Indiana Ave. on
September 16. The Resource Fair, sponsored by the Care Team,
is in its fifth year and is headed by Tina Wozniack, Lucas county
Commissioner.
What makes the event unique is the fact that so many agencies are all under one roof, as opposed to driving around town to
multiple locations accessing their services.
“People can usually access one service with little difficulty, but
to have all those services under one roof makes it an ideal situation,” said Commissioner Wozniack.
She said the event is held, approximately five times a year, at
different locations throughout the county. On average, Commissioner Woznaick said the Care Team services 100 people, during
the one day event, but there are times when those numbers can
swell to 1000.
“Since it’s in the neighborhood, people can easily catch the
bus or simply walk to the event to access those services,” she
said.

COMING EVENTS/NEWS
Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson stands for protecting City
of Toledo residents from subsidizing the
incarceration of other Lucas County jurisdictions
The City of Toledo will continue the policy initiated by the late D. Michael Collins. This policy reflects the fair and equitable allocation of incarceration costs. The City of Toledo cannot responsibly continue to subsidize the financial obligations for the incarceration of other Lucas County jurisdictions.
“Why should county residents who live in Toledo
have to pay more than county residents that don’t?”
asks Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson.
Toledo is striving to be fiscally responsible and
working to ensure that the citizens of Toledo are not
held to a different standard for funding costs at CCNO
than other jurisdictions.
Despite some allegations to the contrary, the City
of Toledo fulfills its obligations and continues to work
toward a solution that is acceptable to all parties and
is in the best interest of its citizens.

Trump’s Attack on
Immigrants of Color
By Bill Fletcher, Jr.
NNPA Columnist
I want to address this
column quite explicitly to
African Americans. If you
are not African American,
please feel free to read
this, however. When you
hear Donald Trump wail
against immigrants, I
hope that you understand that he is also talking about you.
I realize that many African Americans – too
many, as far as I am concerned – believe that immigrants from Asia and
Latin America are the
source of our economic
problems. They are not,
but I will get to that in a
moment. What is more
urgent, however, is that
we appreciate that what
Trump and others are doing is not really crusading against immigrants
but crusading against
people of color.
Let’s think about this
for a moment. Trump attacks Mexicans, quite ex-
plicitly, suggesting that
they are bringing crime to
the U.S. Well, the facts
prove otherwise. Immigrants, legal or undocumented, are less likely to
be criminals. But let’s stick
with this for a moment. If,
for the sake of argument,
Trump wanted to make a
case against immigrants,
why does he not once
mention Russians? The
Russian mafia is known to
be among the most dangerous criminal outfits in
the U.S.A. So, if we are
talking about immigrants
bringing in crime, why not
the Russians?
There is a very simple
reason. The issue with immigrants, for people such
as Trump, is not that they
are immigrants but that
they are immigrants of
color. There is a fear
among a section of the
White population that the
U.S. will soon cease to be
a predominantly White
country and that all hell
will break loose. For completely opportunistic rea-
employers, turned on the
Black workers as if they
were the problem. Trump,
et.al., are trying to do the
same thing today.
Jobs are not being
moved to other countries
(or to rural parts of the
U.S.) by undocumented
workers. They are being
moved by businesses that
care more about the bottom line than they do the
fact that you will be on the
unemployment
line.
Donald Trump is part of
that select group that has
made this situation possible and thrives while the
rest of us fight like crabs
in a barrel.

sons they want to enlist
you – African Americans
– in this battle against immigrants of color.
It does not stop with
immigrants of color.
Trump is the person who
would not let go of his
“birther” allegations that
President Obama was, allegedly, not born here.
This was aimed at suggesting that an African
American could not be a
legitimate president.
Trump continued this, in
a pattern with which we
are now familiar, irrespective of the facts. These
“birther” arguments go
hand-in-hand with his
anti-immigrant of color
stand, i.e., if you are not
White, you are – at best
– a guest in the U.S.
There is no question
but that immigrants have
an impact on the job market but what has been going on for centuries is that
businesses use new and
vulnerable workforces as
a way of trying to divide
up the larger workforce.
One hundred years ago,

The Final Call
Slow and steady
recovery
When hurricane expert Chris Landsea flew
into Hurricane Katrina two
days before landfall to test
the severity of the storm,
he discovered the circulation of this hurricane covered the entire Gulf of
Mexico; a total area of
600,000 square miles.
This set in motion New
Orleans first ever mandatory evacuation.
The lower 9th Ward,
which sustained up to 20
feet of water in certain areas, total population was
14,008 pre-Katrina, consisting of 98.3 percent
Blacks. Ten years later,
only 25 percent have returned home. Many of the
houses in the lower 9th
Ward still bears the “X”
spray painted by rescue
crews to signify that the
home had been searched
for dead bodies and a
number next to it that represented the number of
dead bodies found in the
home.
“I will never forget the
smell when I returned in
the months after Katrina.
The city reeked of dead
bodies. I had witnessed
destruction before, but
this was on such a massive scale it seemed
daunting,” said Marseyas
Fernandez, President and
CEO of MSF digital solutions. “Having a closer
view of the inner workings
after the storm, I thought
it would take 12 years to
get to a point where all
neighborhoods were back
to pre-Katrina level. The
progress we’ve made
since 2005 is no doubt
better off than before
Katrina, but that is no reason to blow the bullhorn,”
said Mr. Fernandez.
“We are constantly
conflicted between saying
anything negative about
the progress as not to discourage investment in our
city and communities and
telling the full true story of
the recovery that is yet to
come for so many,” he
explained.
“I like this city and it’s
vibe right now, but it’s still
a land of the haves and
have nots, of cliques that
maintain status quo with

Hurricane Katrina. (Peter Nakhid/The Final Call)
respect to financial and
social mobility, of a pie
that still has not expanded
enough to offer meaningful and expedited paths
from entrenched poverty
to the middle-class, where
the housing choices are
shrinking as gentrification
pushes more families who
rely on the centralized service industry to the
fringes. I prefer to be
where we are now over
where we were any day,
but lest not forget where
we should be,” said Mr.
Fernandez.
Nevertheless, the Big
Easy, as New Orleans is
affectionately called, has
flourished in many areas.
Known for its cuisine and
being the birthplace of
Jazz, it’s often referred to
as the most unique city in
the United States; home
of the Essence Festival,
the Bayou Classic, and
Mardi Gras. Consequently, the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina brought
the tourism industry to its
knees, as it was the sector of labor hit hardest
from the loss of jobs. New
Orleans tourism industry
is the largest employer in
the area that had 70,000
people depending on a
check from the hospitality
industry before the storm.
However, since 2005, the
city is again welcoming 9
million tourists per year
and has 600 more restaurants and bars. The city
spent $400 million on hotel improvements, $350
million on improvements
of the Mercedes-Benz
Super Dome and $92.7
million on the Morial Convention Center.
One of the city’s most
important booms has occurred in the growth of
small businesses and the
creation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. This
system has captured the
attention of many industry
leaders, bringing national
retailers to New Orleans,
such as Costco, Whole
Foods and Walmart, creating over 14,000 jobs and
generating $7 billion in
capital investment in the
past five years.
Entrepreneurial activity
in New Orleans is 56 percent above the national
a v e r a g e .
PowerMoves.NOLA is a
national initiative created
to provide opportunity for
minority entrepreneurs
and designed to address
the generational obstacles
that prevent minority entrepreneurship.
PowerMoves.NOLA’s mission is to increase the
number of venture-backed
minority-founded companies locally and nationally.
Michael and Suzette
Dummett, started two
businesses after Hurricane Katrina, a restaurant
and a furniture store.
“The demand for furniture was great due to the
hurricane. Then, once
folks had rebuilt and refurbished their homes, sales
declined. That’s why we
changed into the restaurant business,” said Mrs.
Dummett. “If it weren’t for
Hurricane Katrina, I may
still be working a 9 to 5 job
and my husband Mike
would not be working on
his dream of owning a restaurant,” she continued.
“Our home was destroyed,
but not our dream to be independent from working
someone else’s dream.
We were forced out of our
city which forced us to
evaluate our lives. We rebuilt our home and our
lives in New Orleans.
Since we didn’t officially
own a business before
Katrina, I must say that we
have been able to grow as
independent entrepreneurs in spite of Hurricane
Katrina.”
Another Government
Shutdown?
By Julianne Malveaux
NNPA Columnist
Congress must approve a budget by October 1, or our government
will shut down. That
means that people will not
be paid and technically,
government departments
will cease to operate. Social Security payments,
veterans’ benefits, and
more will cease to be
paid. Literally, government will shut down.
Whenever we get to
this brinkmanship, Congress approves a continuing resolution that provides temporary funding
at current levels, or enforces an across the
board reduction of a certain percent. Sometimes
the cuts are established
so that the military takes
smaller cuts than other
departments. The bottom
line is that lawmakers figure out how to apply a
Band-Aid to a hemorrhag-
ing leg. The bad news is
that the problem does not
go away. The good news
is that it keeps us going
for a few minutes.
Why are House Republicans so determined
to have a budget showdown? Part of it is their determination to end federal
funding for Planned Parenthood. They refuse to
understand that, in addition to providing abortion
service, Planned Parenthood provides basic
women’s health services,
including gynecological
examinations. They are
providing these health
services in areas where
they are not available.
Abortions represent
just a fraction of what they
offer. But, based on a set
of bogus videos, some
Republicans are using
those videos to posture
about abortion. Somebody needs to speak up
for Planned Parenthood,
but unless they do, this is

going to be a rook on the
shutdown chessboard.
Then there is the issue, always, about budget
cuts and the difference
between domestic spending and military spending.
In order to accept the
Obama budget, Congress
will have to lift the debt
ceiling. They don’t want to.
The Republican rap is we
need more fiscal discipline. Many of these folks
will take to the floor of
Congress or of the Senate
to rail about irresponsible
spending. Their drama
impedes the October 1
deadline, and they know
it.
This is an opportunity
for many Republicans
who are presidential candidates (Ted Cruz, Jeb
Bush, Donald Trump, and
Ben Carson to name a
few) to show their stuff.
They want to stand out
from their opponents, as
well as from this administration. They hope like hell
that C-SPAN or some
other media is there to
capture their vapid remarks. They pray that
their passionate nonsense will make the
evening news. If they
have the slightest bit of
sense, they will help pass
this budget. Perhaps, after they’ve blown off
enough steam, they will.
The discussion about
the debt ceiling and the division between domestic
and military spending is a
recurrent one. Some
members of both Congress and the Senate
have mixed feelings
around the deal that our
country has cut with Iran.
We have limited Iran’s
ability to manufacture
nuclear weapons, and we
have imposed some
checks and balances to
keep them to their word.
How do you cut a deal
with the devil? Can we really trust Iraq? For the
longest time I have had
mixed feeling about the
deal, mostly because I really think that part of the
deal should be to release
American citizens, like the
Washington Post reporter
Jason Rezaian, who are
being held in Iraq. After
much contemplation, I am
persuaded that the Iran
deal is better than anything we’ve had until now.
We’re going to deal with
a free-lance devil, or a
devil with a contract. We
can’t verify a thing with the
freelance devil. We have
significant, though not
perfect, limits to Iran’s
arms accumulation, so
we’ve cut a deal with the
devil with a contract.
That’s not perfect but it is
better than nothing.
Would we prefer the
Donald Trump nonsense

Just how Corrupt are Major
Police Departments?
By Harry C. Alford
Citizens of the United
States have had enough
with incompetence by local police forces. Incompetence is a kind word for
racism and above all corruption. In our major cities it is an epidemic that
we, as a people, are going to have to deal with. I
don’t believe one person
doubts that there is an immediate problem as we
see time and time again
on live news footage of
the hatred being turned
against our police forces.
The most unfortunate is
that not all policemen are
racist or corrupt. However, the entire legions of
our officers, keepers of
safety, are taking the
blame and sometimes the
bullets.
Press TV, a few years
ago, did a beautiful assessment of what the
problem is: “Police corruption is a major problem

One of the most corrupt police departments is
the Chicago PD. This city
was home to Joseph
Miedzianowski who has
been labeled by many as
one of the most corrupt
policemen in history. This
guy was both a police officer and a drug kingpin.
He was in charge of the
Chicago gang unit. At the
same time he ran his own
drug gang which would
shakedown rival gangs
based on his knowledge
through the Chicago Police Department. He did
this for 22 straight years
before justice caught up
with him in 2001.
John Burge was another member of the Chicago Police Department.
He oversaw the torture of

thrill from burning innocent victims with radiators
and cigarettes and also
electrocute their testicles.
This guy was totally medieval.
I have had personal
experience with the Chicago Police Department
back in the late 1960’s. I
was attending the University of Wisconsin, playing
Big 10 football and felt invincible. We would spend
weekends in “Chi – Town”
with some of my buddies
who grew up there. There
were two incidents that
stand out. The first was a
survey we were taking for
one of the local politicians. They wanted the
surveys done in the infamous Robert Taylor
Projects. We feared nothing and pursued the task.
As we were walking from
one project to the other,
some of Chicago’s “finest”
stopped us. They took
our surveys and told us
that they had to be approved by the precinct
captain. I replied, “Where
are we – in Moscow?” My
friends begged me to be
quiet as these guys were
capable of anything. We
stood there for 30 minutes
until they returned and
said, “The chief said it is
OK. Go ahead and proceed.” I was terribly
stunned as an American
who was supposed to be
enjoying liberty.
The next experience is
even more sobering. I visited my first cousin (a Chicago policemen) who lived
on South Martin Luther
King Dr. I saw “Bobby”
(not his real name) working in his garden with a
gun on his hip. I asked
him why the gun while gardening. He said that his
fellow officers had put out
a “contract’ on him.
“Why?” I asked. He said
that while his boss was on

It is almost impossible
that Congress will pass
the twelve bills that are
part of our budget. Give
that, the next best choice
is to maintain the status
quo, or impose a percentage cut until a budget
deal is cut. Planned Parenthood and Iran should
not even be part of the
conversation.
The deadline, however, has seemed to collide with the drama.
There are folks who understand that the budget,
or some version of it,
needs to be approved by
October 1. They just
don’t plan to sacrifice
their dramatic moment by
doing the right thing. Will
government shut down?
Only if these presidential

Tips for keeping your eyes
healthy as you age
As you age, you may notice changes in your vision
such as having difficulty focusing on up-close objects
or needing more light to see well. It is important to note,
however, that vision loss and blindness are not a normal part of aging.
There are many things you can do to keep your
eyes healthy and make sure you are seeing your best.
Prevent Blindness Supports
National Falls Prevention
Awareness Day
Submitted By Whitney Anderson
September 23 marks the beginning of the fall season and the Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness (PBO)
has joined the efforts of the Ohio Department of Aging’s
STEADY U Ohio initiative to observe National Falls
Prevention Awareness Day. According to the Ohio
Department of Health (ODH), falls are the leading
cause of injury-related hospitalization and death among
Ohioans age 65 and older. It is critical to bring attention to this serious issue.
Our risk for falling increases with age and, unfortunately, those with impaired vision are even more likely
to experience falls and injuries. Visual impairment,

Follow these simple steps for maintaining healthy vision well into your golden years.
Have a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
You might think your vision is fine or that your eyes
are healthy, but visiting your eye care professional for
a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to
really be sure. During this exam, your eye care professional places drops in your eyes to dilate, or widen,
the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye the same
way an open door lets more light into a dark room.
This enables your eye care professional to get a good
look at the back of the eyes and examine them for any
signs of damage or disease. After this exam, your eye
care professional can also let you know if your vision
can benefit from glasses or contact lenses.
KNOW YOUR RISK FACTORS. As you get older,
you are at higher risk of developing age- related eye
diseases and conditions such as age-related macular
degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetic eye disease,
dry eye, and glaucoma. Having a family history of eye
disease also puts you at higher risk for diseases like
glaucoma and AMD. Finally, being overweight or obese
increases your risk of developing diabetes and other
systemic conditions that can lead to vision loss, such
as diabetic eye disease. If you are having trouble maintaining a healthy weight, talk to your doctor.
which can include decreased visual acuity, contrast
sensitivity, depth perception, and/or visual field, has
been found to influence the risk of falls. For example,
vision impairment can affect balance and increases the
risk of tripping or misjudging steps, stairs or curbs.
Based on data from the 2014 “Vision Problems in the
U.S.” study, more than 1.9 million Ohioans over the
age of 40 have refractive error — in addition, nearly
1.5 million Ohioans have also been diagnosed with
cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, and are at risk for vision
loss.
PBO, through the Aging Eye Public Private Partnership, is a proud partner in the STEADY U Ohio initiative. STEADY U is a statewide, 360-degree approach
to falls prevention initiated by Governor John R. Kasich
that engages individuals, families, communities, busiContinued on page 15
Healthy Awareness
EAT RIGHT TO PROTECT YOUR SIGHT. You’ve
heard carrots are good for your eyes.
But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens is important for keeping your eyes healthy,
too. Research has also shown that there are eye health
benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids,
such as salmon, tuna, and halibut. A healthy diet can
also help you maintain a healthy weight, which can
help protect your vision.
DON’T SMOKE. Smoking is as bad for your eyes
as it is for the rest of your body. Research has linked
smoking to an increased risk of developing AMD, cataract, and optic nerve damage, all of which
can lead to vision loss and blindness.
USE PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR. Wear protective
eyewear such as goggles and safety glasses, shields,
and eye guards when playing sports or doing activities
around the home and encourage your
family and friends to do the same. Most protective
eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is
10 times stronger than other plastics. Many eye care
providers sell protective eyewear, as do some sporting goods stores.

A word from C. BROWN and
C. BRIAN BROWN DIRECTORS
Dear Mr. Brown: I am seeing the television commercials
whereas funeral homes advertise a funeral service at a price that
seems to be so misleading. My friend was so angry because by
the time everything was presented at the arrangements it totaled
out to be more than three times the advertised cost. Is it legal to
do that?
William R.
Dear William R: It only stands to reason in the retail business, to include funeral homes. Advertising is as parallel as campaigning for an office. Some will say anything vying for your inner
conscience to obtain your business. “Caveat emptor” When shopping for a funeral home, you must ask for the inclusions (what else
is going to be added to the costs being quoted) and the total bottom line costs and insist that funeral home adhere to it. If they
cannot honor their quotes to you, what else will they not honor?
As the old adage goes, “If it looks or sounds too good to be true
then it probably isn’t.” Once again, we as well as the editors of the

On Sunday September
20, , 2015, St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church
held its Annual Women’s
Day service and the
theme was,“The Essence
of a Godly Woman” from
Proverbs 31: 10-30.
A light breakfst was
held followed by a joint
Sunday school service
taught by First Lady Linnie
B. Willis at 10:45 am. The
Pope’s first visit to the U.S.
Religion & Family
11
service had a special
guest speaker, Sister W.
Jean lark of Union Grove
Missionary
Baptist
Church addressing the
theme.
Sister W. Jean lark
said, “I came out today to
honor the invitation that
was extended to me and
I am excited about being
here with the women.
And, what the theme,
“The Essence of a Godly
Woman,” means to me is
that women have to know
Jesus, and the details of
what is required for this
task is in Proverbs 31: 1030.
Chairperson, Sister
Sharon Hubbard, expressed that they want all
women to come together
and enjoy the word. “This
is a great event and as
chairperson it gets a little
tedious striving to pull everything together, but
overall it came together
beautifully.”
Pastor James H. Willis
Sr. said, “I am excited at
bout this event because
today is a special day especially for the women
here at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. And,
it is a very special day for
me to have the opportunity to watch the women
of this congregation come
together to do what is
necessary for the women
to bring the spirit forth,
and that is what they have
done today.”
Pastor Willis Sr. also
felt that, the women had
physically illustrated the
theme “The Essence of a
Godly Woman.” “And
what that says is that
when you are in the realm
of the Lord, he will direct
you on what to do, and as
scripture tells us in Matthew 6:33;“seek first his
kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you
as well. That is what the
women have done here
today.”

Commentary:
Trust is everything. When you trust somebody it is
one of the greatest feelings in the world. Most of the
time trust is the foundation of any relationship, but with
trust comes the ever-looming chance of betrayal.
How could something so great have a flip side so
bad? Easy with no risk, no love, there’s no reward.
Trust and betrayal are like oil and water they can be in
the same place, but never in the same spot.
When you continue to give and receive trust, you
will reap the benefits; always keep betrayal from knocking on your door.
Question 1)
Dear Dr. Sam, somebody betray my trust a few
years ago how do I get over this? (Beth, 46)
Answer)
Beth, there will be times in our life where people
will disappoint us. But you have to move on from it
because you cannot control what another person will
do? There is always risk in anything. Don’t ever give
up on love because the reward is worth it; just know
where trust is love is there also. With no risk there will
be no reward.
Question 2)
Dear Dr. Sam, I am thinking about going to college
Ask Alma
Mother Made a Mess of
Our Family
Dear Alma,
I am the oldest of my
mother ’s children and
have taken care of our
family for most of my life.
My mother started having
children early, was married and divorced several
times and has really
made a mess of our family. Because of this, we
haven’t had the best of re-
Alma Gill
lationships. She is often begging for something and
constantly bringing me problems to fix. Because of my
mother’s lifestyle, we were raised by different relatives
at different times in our lives, but luckily we were always together.
I have three brothers and a baby sister and everyone is very close for the most part. Fortunately, we all
are doing well, a few with college degrees while the
others have sound, reliable longtime employment. We
all live fairly close to one another, and I just recently
moved into a new condo that’s closest in proximity to
my mother. I love my new place and I’m finally at a
stage in my life that I’m relaxing into what I feel is a
positive space to live and not be stressed out. I don’t
mind helping my mother or my family but sometimes it
can be overwhelming.
My mother recently asked me about my new place
and for my new address, but I didn’t give it to her. I just
don’t want her to have it. I don’t want her to just drop
by to visit whenever she pleases, bringing me her sad
stories because I just don’t want to hear it anymore.

but I don’t know what I
want to study? Dr. Sam
how should I go about figuring this out? (Chad, 20)
Answer)
Good question Chad?
The great thing about college is choices. Chad
there is two ways to figure this out. First of all,
what is your passion?
What do you love to do?
Secondly, explore differDr. Samuel L. Mallette III

there? Chad, take your time and let your passion and
purpose lead you to destiny. Going to college is a great
choice with great experiences.
Question 3)
Dear Dr. Sam, can a man be in love with two
women? (Tonya, 38)
Answer)
Dear Tonya, a man can love two women for different reasons. Even with that being said there is still going to be one woman he is in love with that beats out
the rest. There is only one queen for one king.
Question 4)
Dear Dr. Sam, I am having a hard time with my son
growing up. He is becoming a young man and I still
want to baby him. How do I deal with that? (Dana, 41)
Answer)
Dear Dana, I know it’s tough to watch your baby

grow up, but remember you will always be his momma
but you have to let him grow up. That means letting
him do things for himself you would normally do. Plus,
let him take the initiative on things, so he feels like he
accomplished something.

Your Horoscope
Aries
Curb impatience when the demands made upon you are
greater than you can honestly fulfill. Rather than head for
the hills, consider delegating some of your work as a way
around the problem. Later this week the accent shifts
from fun to work as Mars zips into Virgo. The focus zeroes in on job and lifestyle matters. You may find you’re a
lot more competitive than you have been and eager to
enhance efficiency. Still, the weekend could bring delays,
so stay cool.
Taurus
The Sun dances into Libra this week to light up your zone
of health and lifestyle. If you’ve been working hard and
pushing yourself lately, this influence can serve as a reminder to take some time out. Consider a spa day, massages, and a little pampering. Mars stirs up your romance
sector from Thursday, perhaps making you more determined to impress a certain person. You’ll prove your worth
by showing how supportive, caring, and quietly helpful
you can be.
Gemini
This week’s Quarter Moon suggests conflicts could arise
if one person considers details important while another
views them as irrelevant. Embracing both ends of the
spectrum can give you a new perspective on things. Later,
the Sun lights up your zone of fun, entertainment, and
romance. It’s time to kick back and enjoy yourself, whether
that means playing sports, going on vacation, or becoming more creative. Mars in your home zone could see
you eager to get organized.
Cancer
A friend or business partner could be trying to attract your
attention. Perhaps some of your plans seem unrealistic
or ill thought out and they’re eager to give you some advice. However, Mars jogging into Virgo from Thursday
could inspire you to look at things from a more practical
viewpoint. Perhaps you’ll see flaws that you hadn’t noticed before, helping you to put together a strategy that
can lead to success. Later, relaxing at home can be restorative.
Leo
Monday’s Quarter Moon could have caused you to vacillate between practicality and frugality on the one hand
and extravagance and generosity on the other. You’ll find
the right balance eventually. You may be more motivated
to increase your income once Mars enters your financial
zone on Friday. Make a point of editing your resume and
including as many skills and talents as possible. This could
be crucial in finding the perfect job. Later, a romantic message could put a smile on your face!
Virgo
With Jupiter maintaining its link to Neptune, it helps to
keep your feet on the ground. While you’re usually very
practical, you could get carried away by someone’s sales
talk or persuasive tones. If in doubt, ask a friend for their
take on things. Later, the Sun’s move into Libra lights up
your financial sector, encouraging you to set goals and
consider your plans for the coming months. Write them
down! Your vitality gets a boost as Mars inspires you to
make progress.
Libra
If your social calendar has been overbooked, the cosmos is encouraging you to turn to quieter and perhaps
more spiritual pursuits. It’s a chance to reflect on your
thoughts and feelings and get acquainted with your heart’s
desires. Mars may have the effect of stirring up your
psyche from Thursday, encouraging vivid dreams, inspired ideas, and intuitive hunches. Use them to help
navigate through the ups and downs of life. The Sun enters your sign on Wednesday, boosting your vitality.
Scorpio
Networking is a good way to boost business and get
ahead. Jupiter’s presence in your social sector is certainly encouraging you to move in new circles and enjoy
meeting other people. However, you might need to strike
more of a balance between work and rest as the Sun
jogs into Libra and your spiritual zone. You’re entering a
natural phase in which it helps to take time out to relax
and recharge. You’ll still want to party, but you’ll also enjoy some quiet time.
Sagittarius
The unexpected words or actions of someone you care
about could leave you unsettled, but any hard feelings
won’t last. Unfortunately, an intense attraction may not
last either! Certain tensions could put you on the spot,
but as the Sun dances into Libra on Wednesday you’ll
begin to find your social equilibrium. Mars encourages
you to get a move on regarding a key goal or plan. The
more you research the details, the easier it will be to sucContinued on page 15
9th District, Toledo’s Hip Hop
group on the rise
By Will Ellis
Hip-Hop has undoubtedly become one of
music’s, if not the most
consumed, duplicated,
and influential genres to
date; especially in young
to middle age America.
Becoming a global
entity that has reached
heights far greater than
the visions of its founding
fathers of the late 1960’s/
early 1970’s in Queens,
New York.—who founded
the art as a platform for
the
oppressed,
unheard, underprivileged
to express themselves.
Although founded in
New York, the opportunity
to be heard and connect
with like minds through
music, Hip-Hop has attracted millions of youth,
mainly young Black boys
to artistry since inception—as was the case
with Toledo based HipHop group, “9th District.”
Aptly named after
Ohio’s 9th Congressional
district after founding
member
Tre’Von
“Tre’Trinity” Allen met the
d i s t r i c t ’ s
U.S. Representative
Marcy Kaptur years
ago. Officially formed in
2009, 9th District consists
of four childhood and
grade school friends,
Allen, Shawn “Shawn B.”
Bailey,
Christopher
“Christoph” Rhodes, and
Perry “Fresco Nerd”
Wright; all 24 years old.
Equipped with a dynamic variety of sounds of
each member and the
creative cohesiveness to
blend it all into a unique,
yet enjoyable and relative
experience for listeners,
the group has been diligently in preparation for
what they hope to be “a
very big year in 2016”—
which will include solo
projects from all four
group members and
a collaborative effort.
Their last group effort
Toledo bred and based Hip-Hop group 9th District. Members from left to right:
Tre’Trinity, Shawn B., Christoph Rhodes, and Fresco Nerd.
“Heavy Breathing 3” was
released in 2014 and
helped establish them in
Toledo’s local music
scene; along with performances at various showcases, open mics, and
music festivals around the
city.
Largely pioneered, orchestrated, and maintained by the production
talents of Tre’Trinity, and
the evolution of Shawn B.
as a sound engineer, 9th
District music represents
creative freedom and carries a message of authenticity, individualism, and
free expression, according to the members.
“The feeling you get
from penning your real life
experiences and having it
reciprocated by the fans
is what drew me to music,” says Fresco Nerd.
Citing
originality,
Tre’Trinity later said “We
did not want to sound the
same as other artists. So
essentially we make music to be ourselves, and
encourage others to do
the same.”
When asked what the
public can expect from
them musically each
member briefly explained
“their sounds.” Tre’Trinity
professes to be “The
Eclectic One,” using old
school samples and alternating tempos as staples

of his creations. Fresco
Nerd lays claim as being
more “reflective, and personal” in his music; while
Christoph Rhodes makes
his mark as the group’s
“gritty, hardcore” lyricist.
mained focus on consistently making quality music, and perfecting their
crafts; each member is
expected to release their
solo efforts in either late
2015, or early 2016.

My sister says that’s wrong. I’m tired of arguing with
her and would be interested in advice from an outsider.
What do you think?
Hmmm, I think, unless your mother is the cat burglar, she should have your address. I hear your reasoning and quite frankly it doesn’t matter if I agree or
not, it’s the principle of the problem that prevails.
She’s your mother, she should know exactly where
you live. Mind you, if she comes over unexpectedly or
uninvited, you are not obliged to answer the door. That
goes for your mama and anyone else you may not want
to entertain on any given moment. But yes, you should,
barring injury or any unforeseen crisis, provide your
address to your mother.
This bigger fish in this fountain-full-of-foolishness,
is why in the world would you just not want your mom
to know where you live? What has happened that you
don’t trust her knowing where you reside? Rewind
those ties that bind and drop the drama at the door.
Head over to your mom’s house, right now, with an
index card including your new address and essential
contact information.
We all clench burdens, have made and continue to
make mistakes while carrying our hurts in our handbag. This is shameful, silliness, line dancing beside
stupidity. Shake it off sister and get a life.

ceed.
Capricorn
Strong desires enhance your feelings for someone who
may be related to the past. A sudden burst of excitement
can encourage a secret meeting or bring them swiftly
into your social circle. However, the intensity you feel
could later ease, allowing things to simmer along nicely.
Your career sector lights up as the Sun dances in midweek, encouraging you to take stock of your goals and
priorities. Don’t allow yourself to get so busy that you
lose your work/life balance.
Aquarius
Finances continue to flourish, although you’ll need to keep
your feet on the ground early in the week. Don’t be swayed
by ideas that may be a little impractical. You’ll be ready
to go exploring as the Sun dances into Libra and your
travel sector. If you haven’t yet booked a vacation, maybe
you should look into it. Shared finances and business
matters get a boost from Mars starting on Thursday. You’ll
be motivated to overcome problems and make good
progress.
Pisces
Your social life and relationships continue to look buoyant and upbeat, which is bound to put a smile on your
face. However, as Jupiter links with Neptune early on,
don’t take everyone at face value. If you find it difficult to
understand where someone is coming from, ask a friend
for advice. You’ll also find business matters and shared
resources come into focus from midweek, encouraging
you to take a look at your priorities and make wise choices.

loss, and most falls can
be prevented by knowing
the risks and having a
plan to remove or minimize them.”
STEADY U and the
Ohio Injury Prevention
Partnership, Ohio Older
Adult Falls Prevention
Coalition coordinated by
ODH recommend small
changes to your home,
habits and health to reduce your or your loved
ones’ risk for falling.
• Home: Remove or
secure throw rugs; improve lighting, especially
near stairs; install grab
bars in the bathroom;
eliminate clutter; rearrange the home to make
frequently used items
easier to reach; add railings on both sides of
stairs.
• Habits: Stay active
or increase your physical
activity to build muscle
strength and improve balance; slow down and
think through tasks; stay
hydrated and eat a wellbalanced diet that includes
calcium-rich
foods.
• Health: Ask your
doctor about a falls risk
assessment and talk
about medicines you take
and whether they increase your risk for falls;
have your hearing and
vision checked annually,
and use your corrective
lenses and hearing aids
as prescribed.
“Because people with
vision impairments are
more than twice as likely
to fall as those without,
keeping a regular schedule of eye examinations
with an eye care professional can help avoid de-
bilitating falls in the future,” said Sherry Williams, President & CEO of
the Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness. “We hope
that by alerting the public
to the dangers of falls, as
well as educating them on
ways to avoid them, we
can help prevent unnecessary injuries. And,
maintaining healthy vision
is one way to accomplish
this!”
