CALL TO

Celebrating 6 years of providing
news to the community
‘TAKE TIME TO READ’
By Gina Steward - Publisher
The Telegram has been a pillar
in the Downriver community
since 1944. J. C. Wall was the
founder and publisher for over
50 years. During those years,
he took charge of keeping the
residents of Ecorse, River
Rouge and Southwest Detroit
abreast of issues that were
important to them. Although
during that time, he and his
paper was overlooked by mainstream media, he was able to
weather the storm and remain
for years. His name is still on
the lips of other publishers
throughout the country. When I
attend the National Newspaper
Publishers
Association's
events and mention the
Telegram, it never fails that
someone says, 'That was J.C.'s
paper right?' What a testimony
to the man and the paper.
I pray that my journey is as fruitful and rewarding as his was.
This month marks my sixth year
as publisher of the Telegram
Newspaper. Although there
have been some challenging
days, we are staying on task to
provide the community with
news that is relevant, empow-
ering and uplifting. We have
expanded our reach to distribute in 12 of the Downriver communities and the City of Detroit.
Our website www.telegramnews.net allows our followers
to read the Telegram online
from their computer or on their
mobile unit. Our reach has also
grown via social media where
you can follow us on Facebook
and Twitter @telegramnews.
We are not your grandparents
paper anymore. We are the
eyes and ears of the Downriver
community. We are positioned
to reach each resident/consumer/business owner where
ever they are.
We are in the midst of our summer subscription drive. For as
little as $26.00 per year, you
can receive the Telegram
Newspaper on your doorstep.
If you read online, you can
donate a subscription to one of
our college students away at
college or one of our residents
away in prison. They often let
us know how much they appreciate reading about what is
going on in their community.
The best way to find out what is
going on in your community,
state and the world is to read
the Telegram Newspaper. We
are planning on following in
J.C. Wall's footsteps and be
here for another 50 years. I
often chuckle when having a
conversation with someone
about a topic and they say, 'I
didn't know that.' I just respond
and say, "I guess you didn't
read the Telegram.' Don't fall in
that category.
Read the
Telegram each week.
Inspiration
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greeting, peace, and love to
your! I want to "thank you" for
our community newspaper. It
keeps me informed on what is
happening in our community
and others as well. I am writing to you with "inspiration." I
have been inspired by our
Lord to send a message!.
Jesus is here and He is calling out to all believers. He
wants everyone to know that
He is here. Not just the godly,
but the ungodly as well.
Everything that He told us
about this world is going on
today. Look at what is happening. This world is truly a
different place. Satan is working harder because he knows
that his time is over. But he is
stealing our babies, our brothers and sister. Now is the
time to repent and praise god.
That is all he wants is to do!
We must tell others. When
He calls, we must listen and
act. We must do it with Him
and without fear.
May God bless you.
Thank you
Sincerely
Ms. Runnels

life-affirming excellence as
they constructively partner to
create stronger, wiser, more
productive and magnificent
tomorrows.
The 2012 Black Fatherhood
Challenge will launch on
Father’s Day, June 17, 2012,
and continue over a 90-day
period. Black men will be
invited to sign, embrace, and
actively fulfill an online pledge
or “ahadi” –developed to
spark significant self-reflection and collective re-inspection of manhood, fatherhood,
and life success at their best.
This Challenge, acknowledging black men’s actions and
impact, asks the Pledge
Partners to model mutual
respect, self-mastery, and
fatherhood best practices;
demonstrate
performance
excellence; honor foundational, family and community
engagement commitments;
promote fellow fathers in their
life excellence walk; and
apply full capacities and character strength to authentic
restoration, healing and uplift.
The 90-day Challenge will
draw upon the internet and
social
media
(YouTube,
Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and
email) to connect and provide
fatherhood reflection and dissection forums. It will introduce 90 daily, concept explorations and action challenges
as well as strategies, tools,
and tips for mindset shifts and
substantive
change.
Prominent fathers/leaders in
health, mental health, wellness, political and civic leadership, business, education,
wealth management, spirituality, activism, and relational
healing will offer guiding
advice and encouragement.
Quality
programmatic
resources, including films and
books as well as links to local
and national fatherhood
efforts, will be spotlighted and
inspiring fatherhood success
stories will be featured. A
monthly meet-up group and
conference call, where fathers
can share their strategies,
progress and key lessons, will
provide additional Pledge
support.
“It’s time that Black men begin
to celebrate their positive
accomplishments, dissect the
challenges, reconnect, and
chart new victories; as we
identify, rally around, and
pass along the next set of
powerful, life development
keys to each other and the
next generation,” says Dr.
Gordon, a father of 5 adult
children and grandfather to 7.
Dr. Gordon, a Harvard
University, University of
Michigan, and University of
Pennsylvania trained psychologist, consults nationwide for
university, civic, governmental, and Fortune 500 organizations such as Aetna, Best Buy,
Kraft General Foods, Levi
Strauss, Pfizer, Siemens, and
Subaru of America.
“We are at a critical time for
cities, nations, humanity at
large and especially Black
families and communities. I
felt compelled as a concerned
father and citizen of the world
to contribute in some way to
provide men and fathers with
a conceptual and practical
map or blueprint for substantially improving their lives,
families and key relations,”
adds Dr. Gordon who is
launching the project as an
effort to begin to “re-engage
and re-invigorate Black men
with rigor, compassion, and
constructive critique.”
Challenge will be launched in
Philadelphia but is expected
to expand rapidly to other
USA and potentially global
locations. Media will be invited to meet with Dr. Gordon
and choose Champion Circle
Fathers at a media reception
on Wednesday, June 6th,
from 5:30 – 7:00pm at Omega
Optical in the Lower Atrium of
the Comcast Center located,
1701 JFK Boulevard in
Philadelphia to learn more
about the project. A June 9th
community awareness event
to spread the word to local
fathers will be held at the
Cheltenham Mall, Wyncote,
PA and on June 10th in
Brooklyn, NY at Mirrors on
Grand, 284 Grand Avenue,
Brooklyn, NY.
Challenge is supported by
partners Omega Optical,
TAGA Consulting, Sun in Leo,
Inc, and Black Love Lives
film.
Bridging
the gap
By: Jim Abeare - Columnist
With the agreement signed
last week between Michigan
Governor Rick Snyder and
Canadian Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, the second
bridge over the Detroit River
is one step closer to being
completed.
I don't really see a downside.
This means jobs for the
area, from construction to
maintenance of the bridge
when completed to the border
crossing guards.
The people that I am concerned about are those that
will be displaced by the new
bridge. Will they get fair compensation?
The Detroit-Windsor crossing is one of the busiest if not
the busiest international
crossing in the world.
Canada can not wait for this
new bridge. They are even
willing to pay for it.
This new bridge will
increase the traffic from
Canada to the Southern
United States and into
Mexico.
Canada sees Michigan's
high potential in this, probably
with its central position in
North America.
I just have a feeling that
done right, it can be a boon
for the state, regardless of
what Matty Moroun's people
will tell you.
We still have a long way to
go to get to the bridge, it might
never happen.
But I think it will be good if it
does.

Al Sharpton to Receive
Humanitarian Honor at
2012 BET Awards
Reverend Al Sharpton
The Rev. Al Sharpton, leader
of the National Action
Network, will be honored with
a humanitarian award at the
BET annual awards show at
the Shrine Auditorium in Los
Angeles July 1, the network
announced.
BET said Sharpton will
receive
the
2012
Humanitarian Award for his
commitment
to
political
activism and social reform
over the last five decades.
“As
the
Founder
and
President of the National
Action Network, Sharpton
continues to raise awareness
about civil rights and political
issues, and actively takes a
stand against prejudice and
injustice for all people-no matter one’s race, gender, sexual
orientation or political affiliation,” the network said in a
release.
BET’s president of music programming
Stephen
Hill
praised Sharpton’s service
and highlighted his efforts this
year in attempting to bring
forth justice in the Trayvon
Martin case, according to the
New York Daily News.
“What he does better than
anyone else is, he gives a
voice to the voiceless,” Hill
said. “Trayvon Martin is the
most recent example.”
Hill added that while the BET
Awards primarily honors
entertainers, he believes it’s
important to highlight the work
of community leaders like
Sharpton.
“It’s important for us to honor
not just entertainers, but also
people who are excelling in
their service…people who
give back,” Hill said. “It’s to be
celebrated.”
Past
honorees
of
the
Humanitarian award include
Steve Harvey, John Legend,
Alicia
Keys,
Denzel
Washington and Muhammad
Ali, among many others.
Box office superstar Samuel
L. Jackson will host this year’s
awards ceremony and artists
Usher, Chris Brown and Nicki
Minaj will perform.
After hearing the news of his
imminent award, Sharpton
announced that he will dedicate it to his mom Ada, who
died in March.

Prayer Gatherings
By: Janine Folks - Telegram Religion Columnist
At a recent outdoor
prayer gathering in southwest
Detroit parking lot, organized
by the Women of Transition,
Pastor Andre L. Cranford of
Back to Life Church prayed,
“Let prayer gatherings like this
become the norm.”
About a week later, my
friend Jacqueline reported
seeing a group of men in the
area of Fort and Outer Drive
standing outside praying publicly. I believe that the words
of pastor Cranford are
prophetic! I expect to hear
more reports about people
coming together to pray!
Whether it’s on street corners,
in a pub, a community or business center, in the living room
with family or spontaneous
prayer at a public function,
prayer gatherings will become
the norm.
Pastor Cranford and
his wife Tracye recently
opened the doors of their
church in Southwest Detroit,
hailing from Inkster . They
have brought life to the abandoned strip mall at 2300
Schaefer, between Annabelle
and Beatrice. Already, they
are doing a lot of footwork in
the streets of our community
taking church outside the
church, into the highways and
byways.
Our neighborhoods
and our people need prayer.
They need deliverance. I
agree with Pastor Cranford’s
prayer: Prayer gatherings will
become the norm. So often
we wait for others to organize
prayer gatherings. Why not
just do it? God is calling His
people to come together to
pray and not make it complicated.
We can keep it simple
and let the Spirit of God move
and flow. As a prayer group
organizer, I can tell you that I
do not have an agenda. I’ve
learned that trusting God for
His presence is enough.
Sometimes we let ‘self’ get in
the way, with our agendas
and desire to control what
happens in prayer. We must
maintain ‘order’ but we also
must learn to let go and let
God. When it comes to prayer
gatherings, I’ve learned that
we simply need to ‘show up.’
God will take it from there. He
even goes as far as being
faithful to send the right people to be there.
The local church is
important. We all should be a
part of one. We need leadership and a foundation for our
spiritual growth. As we grow,
our appetite changes. We
should go from being satisfied
with milk, to desiring meat
(Heb. 5:12). As we get

Seven Tips to Help Your Landscape
Beat the Heat this Summer
Detroit Metro Airport to Launch
Free Wireless Internet Option
for Travelers
by gardening expert, TV/radio host, author & columnist Melinda Myers
DETROIT—By this fall, travelers passing through Detroit
Metropolitan Airport (DTW)
will enjoy a new, no-cost
option for limited, wireless
internet access throughout
both passenger terminals.
The Wayne County Airport
Authority (WCAA) Board,
which oversees DTW, today
approved an agreement with
Airport technology provider
Boingo Wireless that will
enable the Airport to offer a
two-tiered internet access
service model providing both
an ad-supported and a premium, subscription-based internet connection option to travelers.
Summer has arrived
and for many gardeners that
means heat, drought and
watering bans. This can be
hard on gardeners as well as
their landscapes. The good
news is that there are ways to
help plants thrive despite
these seasonal challenges.
Adjusting landscape care
accordingly during the summer months can not only provide relief for lawns and gardens, but also for the gardener. Here are some low maintenance eco-friendly ways
gardeners can keep their
landscapes looking their best
throughout
the
summer
months, while beating the
heat:
Water plants thoroughly to promote deep
drought- and pest-resistant
roots. Wait until the top few
inches of soil are crumbly and
moist or footprints remain in
the lawn before watering
again.
Avoid light, frequent
watering that encourages
shallow roots. Shallow roots
are less able to tolerate
drought and more susceptible
to disease and insect problems.
Spread a 2- to 3-inch
layer of shredded leaves,
evergreen needles or shredded bark mulch over the soil
in garden beds and around
trees and shrubs. Mulching
conserves moisture, keeps
roots cool and moist, and suppresses weeds.
Mow lawns high.
Taller grass produces deeper
roots that are more droughttolerant. A deeply rooted lawn
is also more resistant to
insects, disease and other
environmental stresses.
Always mow lawns
often enough, so you remove
less than one third the total
leaf surface. Leave the grass
clippings on the lawn. They
add nitrogen, organic matter
and moisture to the soil.
Use a low nitrogen
slow release fertilizer, like
Milorganite<http://www.milorganite.com/>, to give gardens
and lawns a nutrient boost.
This organic nitrogen fertilizer
remains in the soil until the
growing conditions are right
for the plant.
Remove weeds from
garden beds and borders as
soon as they appear. These
“plants out of place” steal
water and nutrients from your
desirable garden plants.
Plus, they can harbor insects
and diseases that are harmful
to your garden plants.
And don’t forget to
take care of yourself while
caring for your landscape during the heat of summer. Drink
lots of liquid, use sunscreen,
and work during the cooler
morning and evening hours.
Then when the gardening tasks are done for the
day, grab a glass of lemonade, take a seat in the shade
and enjoy the beauty of your
handiwork.

“Free Wi-Fi in the terminals is
by far the most requested
amenity by our customers,”
said WCAA Interim CEO Tom
Naughton. “This new, twotiered approach will provide
an ad-supported access
option for casual internet
users, while still enabling
power users who are willing to
pay for premium access to do
so.”
Under the new service model,
Boingo will introduce a new
option for travelers to connect
to the airport’s wireless network for 30 minutes at no cost
upon viewing a 30-second
video advertisement. Users
who require an extended or
high-speed connection will
continue to have the option to
connect via one of Boingo’s
existing service plans.
Because the launch of a nocost option is estimated to
more than triple the demand
on the airport’s wireless infrastructure, the agreement
approved by the WCAA Board
includes significant network
equipment
upgrades.
Upgrade work will begin
immediately, enabling the
new, ad-supported service tier
to launch by September 2012.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Michigan parents who have
seen the YouTube video of
seventh-grade boys harassing an elderly school bus
monitor in New York may be
wrong to assume that their
children would never do such
a thing. At least one of the
parents of the bullies says she
was shocked and embarrassed to learn of her son's
behavior and apologized to
the victim, Karen Klein.
Christy Buck, director of the
Mental Health Foundation of
West Michigan, says parents
who don't want their kids to
turn into bullies need to help
them understand that bullying
can be deadly.
"Even the strongest-willed,
athletic, super person at a
school could possibly have
the predisposition for depression and ultimately, something that somebody says, or
how they're treated, that person can go take their life."
Buck runs a program in the
schools that raises awareness about depression and
bullying to prevent incidents
like the one in New York.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention estimates that 26 percent of
American high school students struggle with depression, and nearly 14 percent of
students have seriously considered suicide.
Buck says studies show that
80 percent of pupils would
never bully another child.
However, she adds...
"There are a boatload of kids
that, they just don't want to be
mean. They stand by and
watch it, but they don't know
what to do."
The "Be Nice" program teaches students about mental
health. Buck says when she
presents it in the schools she
is blunt about telling the
school children that reporting
or getting up the courage to
confront a bully could actually
prevent a suicide.
"That's by leaving after a day
of school and actually having
been nice to someone who is
treated poorly all the time,
and maybe over the weekend
that person contemplated
killing themselves. Imagine
going back Monday morning
and you actually saved that
kid's life."
Buck's advice to Michigan
parents: If the kids are old
enough to handle the profanity in the YouTube video, use it
as a teaching tool to discuss
how harmful bullying can be
to everyone.
The victim, Karen Klein, has
received more than $450,000
from sympathetic donors.
The bullies have become victims themselves, getting
threatening e-mails and
phone calls, but Klein has
asked that they not be prosecuted.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Free Health Program in
Detroitand Inkster to Help
Residents Manage Diabetes
Detroit, Mich.-The National
Kidney
Foundation
of
Michigan (NKFM) is hosting a
free health workshop in
Inkster from July 12 to August
16 to help diabetic individuals
improve their health. The
Diabetes Personal Action
Toward Health (PATH) class
will meet on Thursdays from
1:00pm to 3:30pm at Cherry
Hill Place, located at 29477
Cherry Hill Rd.
The Diabetes PATH workshop
provides information and
skills to adults with type 2 diabetes so they are better
equipped to face the daily
challenges of living with their
condition. Workshops are
conducted by two trained
leaders (one or both of whom
have diabetes themselves)
who hold informal, small
group discussions and provide
easy-to-understand
course materials. Facilitators
discuss ways to deal with
symptoms of diabetes, cope
with fatigue and pain, eat
healthy, use medications
wisely, and benefit from physical activity. Participants also
learn about self-help tools that
can enhance daily activities.
They are encouraged to practice the skills they learn by
making weekly action plans
and helping each other reach
the goals they set.
The Diabetes PATH program
is appropriate for people who
are newly diagnosed as well
as those who have been living
with type 2 diabetes for years
and caregivers. It has been
proven in studies to reduce
symptoms and physician visits as well as increase selfmanagement abilities and
communication with doctors.
Registration for Diabetes
PATH is required and space is
limited. To register for this program, or learn more about
Diabetes PATH, call Meaghan
Sholl at the NKFM at (800)
482-1455
or
visit
www.nkfm.org.

ENDGAME: AIDS in Black America
Renata Simone Productions
Magic Johnson gets his blood drawn from HIV/AIDS specialist Dr. David Ho.
Every 10 minutes, someone
in the United States contracts the AIDS virus. Half
are black. Thirty years after
the AIDS virus was first
reported among gay white
men, nearly half of the 1 million people in the United
States infected with HIV are
black men, women and children—even though blacks
make up just 12.6 percent of
the population. “If black
America were a country, it
would have the 16th highest
infection rate in the world,”
says Phill Wilson, founder of
the Black AIDS Institute.
But how and why is HIV so
much worse in black
America? Can something be
done—on a personal level,
policy level or community
level—to bring about an end
to the epidemic?
ENDGAME: AIDS in Black
America, airing Tuesday,
July 10, 2012, at 9 p.m. ET
on PBS (check local listings), by award-winning filmmaker Renata Simone
(FRONTLINE’s The Age of
AIDS) takes viewers on an
unprecedented
two-hour
exploration of one of the
country’s most urgent, most
preventable health crises.

HOROSCOPES
From Page 9A
Three years in the making,
this groundbreaking documentary film tells the story of
how, from the earliest days,
prejudice, silence and stigma allowed the virus to
spread deep into the black
community.
The documentary uncovers
the layered truth through
remarkably candid interviews with basketball legend
Magic Johnson; civil rights
pioneer Julian Bond; leading
doctors, health workers,
educators
and
social
activists working on the front
lines of the crisis; and pastors around the country,
many of whom have been
divided on the response of
the black church to the epidemic over the years.
Most compelling are the personal stories. The film allows
people to tell their own stories, in their own voices.
These intimate portraits are
presented against the backdrop of the culture, politics
and social inequities that
allowed the virus to spread
unchecked over the past
three decades and today
complicate the efforts to get
to the “endgame.”
The film introduces people
like Nel, a 63-year-old
grandmother who married a
deacon in her church and
later found an HIV diagnosis
tucked into his Bible. There’s
the teenage rap duo Tom
and Keith, children who
were born with the virus in
the early 1990s and survived after their mothers
died; Jesse, who had to hide
his sexuality because of
homophobia in his church,
community and family; and
Jovanté, a high school football player who didn’t realize
what HIV meant until it was
too late.

Angeles, Oakland, Atlanta,

VOLUME 68 NUMBER 47
A Big Man Pick is needed for Wayne State University
Football on National TV
the Pistons
By Butch Davis - Telegram Sports Reporter
By Butch Davis - Telegram Sports Reporter
Henry Sims of Georgetown and Miles Plumlee of Duke
might be the Pistons No. 9 pick in today’s NBA Draft.
The Detroit Pistons are eyeing a big man with the No. 9
pick in today’s NBA Draft.
Here are three of the top big
men that the Piston could take
in the draft, if they are available.
Henry Sims of Georgetown
was a presence on both ends
of the floor, playing with terrific energy. Though Sims is certainly not an elite athlete or a
finished product offensively,
he made the most of his 7'4
wingspan and impressive
frame, blocking a number of
shots, pursuing the ball off the
rim aggressively, and finishing
around the basket. Struggling
to rebound the ball at a high
level as a senior, Sims's
effort-level was a positive
here, as he made an effort to
go after caroms that he did
not seem intent on chasing as
a Hoya. Sims did not consistently knock down his jump
shots, but he did show the
same unique passing ability
we saw from him at
Georgetown. His high basketball IQ made him a terrific
complement to the players
around him here, and at 6'10
with a strong frame and excellent length.
Andre
Drummond's
of
Connecticut long-term potential is obvious. With his
tremendous size, frame,
length and mobility, his elite
physical tools put him in the
same class as NBA centers
such as Andrew Bynum, Greg
Oden, Dwight Howard and
Derrick Favors. Not turning 19
until August this would be a
steal and a project if he were
available for the Pistons when
they pick number nine.
Miles Plumlee of Duke looks
the part of a NBA big man,
measured just a hair under
seven feet in shoes with a 7'0
wingspan and an outstanding
frame. He bulked up to 247pounds with allegedly only 5%
body fat between his junior
and senior seasons. While
he's a bit mechanical in his
movements, he's a very good
athlete for his size--mobile,
explosive around the basket,
and runs the floor well. The
interesting
wrinkle
to
Plumlee's game are the brief
flashes (just six attempts all
season) that he has shown as
a spot-up shooter from midrange, particularly given his
comfort operating out of the
pick-and-roll. He already sets
very good screens and rolls
hard to the basket, which is
an asset given the predominance of pick-and-roll sets in
NBA playbooks.
By the way the Piston have
the 39th pick in the draft and
former
Spartans
star
Draymond Green could be
picked up the Pistons. Green,
a former back-to-back state
champion at Saginaw High,
has the intangibles NBA clubs
look for. He's a born leader -a vocal one, too. He's relentless, powerful and doesn't
settle. His overall game took
leaps and bounds during his
four years in East Lansing. A
trade scenario, a move up to
a pick in the 20s of the 2012
NBA Draft, could secure
Green, a Naismith Award
finalist and winner of Big Ten
Player of the Year honors.
The Pistons have the ninth
overall pick, one that won't be
dealt. However, Detroit has
the 39th pick, which could be
used as leverage in a deal.
Green is compared to Shane
Battier and Udonis Haslem by
his former coach at State,
Tom Izzo. Both Battier and
Haslem used blue-collar work
ethic in helping Miami grab
the 2012 NBA title.
Several high-profile draft
prospects have work out at
the Pistons' practice facility in
Auburn Hills. Ohio State's
Jared
Sullinger,
Illinois'
Meyers
Leonard,
North
Carolina's John Henson and
Tyler Zeller, Baylor's Perry
Jones
and
Kentucky's
Terrence Jones.
Now that that's out of the way,
and the Pistons fail to get the
center that they need, the officially the start of NBA free
agency when teams can sign
free agents doesn't start until
July 11, 2012. The two top
young center that the Pistons
can really go after are Roy
Hibbert, center from the
Indiana Pacers and free
agent, JaVale McGee, center
from the Denver Nuggets.
Now whom would you pick?
The 2012 football contest
between
Wayne
State
University and Saginaw
Valley State University has
been moved to Thursday, Oct.
11 at 8 p.m. and will be televised nationally on CBS
Sports Network. Last year,

honor and further underscores how far our program
has risen under Coach (Paul)
Winters," commented WSU
Director of Athletics Rob
Fournier. "To play in last
year's NCAA Division II
national championship game
and to be part of this presentation of the best of the country's college football programs
is a nice recognition for our
football program, the athletic
department and this great
institution and its alumni all
across the country." "We are
very excited about another
opportunity to compete on
national television," added
Winters. "We look to continue
to increase the exposure of
Wayne State football." By the

Frazier Street on the report of
a large fight. Upon arrival all
parties were GOA. At
1835hrs, a 18 year old female
entered the Police Station
Lobby and stated she had
been assaulted by her baby's
38 year old grandmother. The
female told officers she went
to the home on Frazier Street
to pick up her baby's father,
after the fight he had with his
mother. She states the mother
arrived a short time later and
asked her to get out of the
vehicle so she could talk to
her. The female stated when
she exited the vehicle, the 38
year old mother started chanting that "it was all her fault
that her son is not with his
other two children and that
she took him away from his
family." The angry mother
then slapped the young
female across the left side of
her face and grabbed her hair,
pulling her to the ground. The
mother dragged the young
female across the pavement,
causing abrasions to her left
leg, foot and arm, and then
bites her on the left hand.
The young female managed
to break free and ran to her
vehicle and when she
attempted to drive off the
mother grabbed her by the
hair and began pulling it. The
mother's thirteen year old
daughter jumped into the
vehicle and began fighting the
female, while several other
families joined in the melee
before she was able to pull
off. The young female will be
okay she didn't sustain any
life threatening injuries.

jeans, black baseball hat and
a dark colored short sleeve
button down shirt, riding a
dark colored mountain bike.
An officer observed a male

owner never came forward to
claim the bicycle.
June 15, 2012
At 1630hrs, officers were dispatched to the Family Dollar
Store in the 1300 Block of
Coolidge Street to investigate
a Retail Fraud that had just
occurred. Upon arrival the 46

flagged down a officers stating the store manager, in a
red mustang was following
the 47 year old suspect riding
a white bicycle. Officer traveled west bound on Coolidge
and located suspect at the
Citgo Gas Station at Campbell
and Coolidge Street. When
the suspect noticed officers
approaching in vehicles he
began pedaling west bound
on Coolidge and continued
looking back at officers pursuing him until he fell to the
ground, stood up and started
running southbound across
Coolidge. An officer apprehended the suspect who
began to resist and try to
break away. After being
advised to stop resisting and
he continued, he was tased
by the officer. The male told

Russom said the MDA Run is
important to himself and other
motorcycle enthusiasts.
During their visit, the motorcyclists allow children to take
rides in side cars, have lunch
and interact with them.
Vallie said each child will
receive one of 100 pairs of
sunglasses
donated
by
Romulus
resident
Art
Schmelzer, who works in
heating and cooling at Detroit
Metropolitan Airport, plus a
special "do rag" containing an
"MDA Camp" insignia.
Other
sponsors
include
Eagles Clubs from Van Buren
Township and Lincoln Park
and Wiley's Coyote Grill in
New Boston. Russom said the
organizers at A.M. Leather
welcome all contributions.
Russom said the weeklong
camp costs $800 per child.
The A.M. Leather group pays
for one first-time camper's
admission each year. He said
that when parents see the
benefits of the camp and the
enthusiasm of their children,
they try to include the $800 in
their budgets so the children
can return every year.
The
Romulus
Police
Department will provide an
escort away from the store.
Russom said the riders will
travel to a gas station at I-69
and M-19, where they will
meet up with motorcyclists
from Motor City Harley
Davidson. The estimated 200
riders will travel together to
the camp.
"We've talked to parents who
tell us that the kids are excited
and look forward to us being
there," Russom said. "Some
who are too old for the camp
come back and enjoy it just
for the day. We think it's a
pretty cool thing for kids in the
summer time."

Dr Boyce: The Lesson of LeBron
James’ Success for Young Black Men
LeBron James of the Miami Heat
Congratulations
to
LeBron
James and the Miami Heat on
their most recent NBA title.
LeBron carried the team to victory in glorious fashion, securing
the regular season MVP award,
the NBA title and Finals MVP trophy in one gigantic swoosh. Oh
yea, he had a triple double in the
last game of the title series.
As I watched LeBron mature from
a boy to a full grown man, I recall
the first time I saw him on television. He was being exploited by
ESPN and his high school in a
nationally-televised game (he
and his family were not compensated for the game, but the
school and ESPN made hundreds of thousands of dollars),
where he single-handedly elevated a group of regular guys to
defeat Oak Hill Academy, the
basketball factory that pretends
to be a school. At that moment, I
knew this dude was something
special, even though a friend who
teaches
at
Georgetown
University told me that LeBron
was going to be a mediocre NBA
player. I think I won the bet with
my friend with flying colors.
But as I watched LeBron this
week, I was reminded that great
accomplishments are merely displays and reflections of what you
are made of. It’s kind of a show
and tell, letting the world know
whether you’re a man on the
inside or just one of the other
nameless, faceless people who
talk a good game. That’s where
LeBron showed and proved.
Here are a few things that black
men can learn from the recent
achievements of LeBron James:
1)
Hard work always pays off
Unfortunately, commercialized
hip-hop culture teaches young
black men that life is just a big
party, where you stay high and
drunk, running from club to club,
woman to woman without a care
in the world. What they don’t tell
you is that the men who think like
bosses aren’t wasting their time
with all that stupid sh*t. Instead,
they are grinding each day, burning the midnight oil, busting their
butts to become something special in this world. It doesn’t mean
you can’t stop and enjoy the
spoils of your success every now
and then, but you’ll never get
anywhere in life by being lazy, for
the man who gets the glory is the
one willing to go the extra mile.
2)
Consistency is the key to
being great at anything
NBA seasons are long, grueling
and dull. LeBron played over 100
games this year, and in the midst
of such a long journey to the title,
it’s easy to get bored and distracted. But when it comes to
being successful at anything,
consistency is always the key. In
my opinion, your life is ultimately
defined by what you’re going to
be doing in the next six hours. If
you have a dream or goal and
aren’t going to be doing anything
to achieve that goal within the
next six hours, I pretty much write
off your dream is being the jibberjabber fantasy of an immature
and unrealistic mind.
Your life, outcomes and legacy
are not defined by what you coulda-woulda-shoulda done. They
are defined by what you do on a
day-to-day basis.
3)
Always face your limitations
and obstacles head-up
When you’re one of the best players in the history of the NBA and
making more money than you’ve
ever dreamed of, it’s easy to get
complacent. LeBron James has
been an amazing player since
the day he entered the league
nine years ago. But in spite of
being great players, both he and
Michael Jordan faced severe limitations in their games which kept
them from obtaining the ultimate
prize. It was their decision to
face their weaknesses, rather
than run away, which allowed
them to perform at the highest
levels.
Michael Jordan had a saying that
I will never forget. He said, “I
work on my weaknesses until
they become my greatest
strengths.” Most people spend
their time running away from their
weaknesses rather than seeking
to overcome them. This ultimately limits their growth.
4)
Avoid getting wrapped up in
other people’s BS
During a recent interview with
ESPN, LeBron admitted that last
year, he got caught up in believing the hype about him being the
villain of professional sports.
Note to LeBron: Black men are
almost always the villains in professional sports, largely because
you live in a world that thinks
most black men are ignorant animals and that the best you can
aspire to be is a “n*gga in Paris.”
Whether you are an athlete, a
college professor, a mailman or a
little boy in fifth grade, someone
is always sitting back and judging
you harshly.
LeBron got the memo and realized that he wasn’t born to be a
villain, a jerk, an a**hole or a bad
guy: He is a team player who
wants to get the best out of those
around him. Once LeBron let go
of the labels that others thrust
upon him and started to be himself, he finally won his first NBA
title. For the rest of us, it is our
ability to stay the course and
keep other people’s problems
away that allows us to focus on
being the best that we can be: It
might mean getting rid of a friend
or bad relationship, or simply
turning off our phone so we can
focus on work we have to do.
The point here is that distractions
only lead to wasted energy.
5)
Remain humble, yet confident
LeBron James is one my of my
favorite players for the same reason that Michael Jordan is one of
my least favorite: He is a good
guy and a smart, humble human
being. He doesn’t make himself
great by reminding you that he’s
better than you (as Jordan did
during that horrible Hall of Fame
Speech a few years ago).
Instead, he shows his greatness
by helping teammates and
friends find the greatness within
themselves.
You don’t hear LeBron talking
smack in the media, he’s not out
getting arrested for sexual
assault; you don’t see stories
about him forcing a coach to be
fired or making his teammates
feel like crap. Even that stupid
fiasco last year about the ESPN
special (“The Decision”) angered
me because the fans of
Cleveland were so caught up in
hating LeBron that they never
stopped to consider the fact that
he gave them seven of the best
years of his life. The entire time
that LeBron was in Cleveland,
Nike and everyone else told him
that he deserved to be on a bigger stage. But in spite of the peer
pressure to leave the city he
loved, LeBron stayed and tried to
carry the team on his back to a
title (which he almost did). That,
in a nutshell, defines the kind of
person he is.
Congrats LeBron, you deserved
your trophy. For every young
brother who watched LeBron
overcome his obstacles, remember that you can overcome your
challenges too. If we commit to
giving everything we’ve got,
every single day, and don’t stop
trying for anything or anyone, we
all have what it takes to be a
champion.

Tell it to Torri
Where are the ‘Good Women’?
By: Dr. Torri Evans
Dear Torri,
I was at a popular bar recently, and I saw several women
dressed in a way that I would
never want my woman to
dress, especially if she is out
with me. Tell me, why do really big woman try to wear
clothes that only a smaller
women would wear? And of
course most of the older
women were dressing just as
bad as the younger ones.
Women are always talking
about they can't find a good
man, well, where are all the
good women? And speaking
on behalf of the men,
"We want a good woman
too"!! And this is how I define
a good woman. She attends
Church EVERY Sunday, She
doesn't wear her clothes so
tight that my buddy knows her
every curve. She does not sit
at home waiting on a check
from the Government to
come. She speaks very well;
never uses foul language.
She can read and write. She
knows how to carry on a
decent conversation with me.
She can hold my interest. She
does not sleep around. She's
clean and smells nice. She
doesn't visit the bar or Club
EVERY weekend. She makes
me proud to say she is mine.
She pays her bills first before
she spends her money at the
mall. She does not have several different baby fathers.
Her home is kept clean. She's
educated. She has a good
relationship with her parents
and siblings. She can cook.
And she has money in the
bank. Where are those good
women?
Bud,
Dear Bud,
It's sad to say, but your definition of a good woman, no
longer exists in the standards
of most women in today's
society. Nevertheless, you do
not have to settle, because
there are still quite a few
women out there that still
have the morals and standards of what your definition
of what real women consist
of. Remember women are still
made of Sugar and Spice and
everything nice.
However: In order to find your
quote- un quote: "good
woman" stay out of the bars,
she's not there!!!!
