Donald Trump Snubs NAACP
Convention, Clinton to Speak
on July 18
Obama At Dallas Memorial:
'We're Not As Divided As We Seem'
By Lauren Victoria Burke (NNPA News Wire Contributor)
Donald Trump, candidate for President of the United States
declined to speak to NAACP
Only one day after declaring
himself “the law and order
candidate,” the campaign of
the presumptive Republican
nominee Donald Trump announced that he will not address the annual NAACP
convention. The no-show will
be only the fourth time since
1980 that a candidate running
for the White House hasn’t
spoken to the NAACP.
On July 12, NAACP President
Cornell Brooks announced
that Trump had declined the
NAACP’s invitation to speak.
Created in 1909 by W.E.B.
DuBois, Mary Ovington and
Moorfield Storey, the NAACP
is the oldest civil rights organization in the U.S. The NAACP
now has over 300,000 members.
This year, the 107th NAACP
convention is in Cincinnati,
Ohio, from July 16-20. Trump
President Obama speaks at the memorial for the slain police officers
President Obama and
former President
George W. Bush spoke
at an interfaith memorial
service Tuesday after-
noon for the five police
officers murdered in
Dallas last week.
Bush, a resident of Dal-
las, noted that he interacts

CALL TO ACTION
WORDS FROM THE PUBLISHER
Automatic guns are the
problem
We must speak up now
the problem. A pistol or
handgun would not do
as much damage as the
automatic guns that
have been used in so
many of the mass
killings.
Here we go again, another situation where
young black men were
killed. The part that gets
me is that they were not
murders, they were not
thieves. They were fathers, sons and loved
ones.
Then there were police
officers killed. They were
not murderers, they were
not thieves. They were
parents and had loved
ones who will miss them.
This must stop.
As I have said many
times, the number of
guns that are readily
available is the problem.
I now believe that it is the
type of guns that are also
I am encouraging all of
the readers of the
Telegram to contact their
U.S.
Congressmen,
State Senators, State
Representative and your
local elected officials to
pass legislation to keep
automatic guns out of
the hands of bad people.
Call them, email them or
stop by one of their coffee hours or the council
meetings to let your
voice be heard. We
must make a difference.
Think about it… What if
you don’t do anything
and then that next shooting occurs and one of
your family members get
shot.
Don’t wait until it is to
late. Make your voice
heard now.

NNPA Demands Urgent
Appointment of a Federal
Special Prosecutor on Racially
Motivated Police Killings in the
United States of America
By: Ben Chavis - NNPA
Washington, DC — The nation’s largest trade association
of African American owned
newspapers and media companies, the National Newspaper Publishers Association
(NNPA), today issued an urgent call and demand that
President Barack H. Obama
and U.S Attorney General
Loretta Lynch appoint a Federal Special Prosecutor in the
wake of the police killings of
Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana,
and
Philando
Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr.
President & CEO of the NNPA
stated, “The killings of African
Americans in Louisiana and
Minnesota during the past 72
hours represent an escalating
national pattern of fatal police
killings that appear to be
racially motivated. These incidents are not isolated local
tragedies, but are the terrible
growing manifestations of a
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why should I have to be afraid
Blue lives
for my sons
matter
twoness of this country still
Dear Editor,
By Jim Abeare
deadly national system of
racism in the criminal justice
system that needs to be effectively
challenged
and
changed. There are today too
many African American families and communities that continue to endure police brutality
and violence across the United
States. This is a national crisis
that demands immediate federal intervention to both investigate and to prosecute police
officers who continue commit
these wanton racially motivated killings.”
I find it surprising that with
what happened to the police in
Dallas that there would still be
protests against the police
across the country.
“We, therefore, demand that a
Federal Special Prosecutor be
immediately appointed by the
United States Department of
Justice. To date, unfortunately,
local investigations and prosecutions have been ineffective
and have not insured justice.
We have heard from many of
our NNPA member publishers
throughout the nation and our
cups of disgust have run over
with moral outrage. We will not
be silent in the face of these
injustices. We demand action
by the federal government
now.”
The protests aren’t the problem themselves. It is some of
the people that show up and
pervert the protests that are
the problem.
The NNPA represents 209
African American owned
newspapers based in 32
states and known as the
“Voice of Black America” that
reaches 20.l million readers
per week with national offices
located in Washington, DC.
www.BlackPresUSA.com and
www.NNPA.org
WEEK OF JULY 14 - JULY
Not just protests, but violent
protests.
Rock and bottle throwing
protests.
One police officer in a recent
protest got his spine fractured
when someone threw concrete
on him.
People who are looking for
their own fifteen minutes of
fame, like the official from
Black Lives Matter who
videoed his own arrest and
broadcasted it.
Not the way to advance your
message. Or any number of
trouble makers who just want
to cause trouble and start the
violence.
If you are going to protest, do
it peaceably, it’s your right.
Don’t cause trouble and don’t
shut down the roads.
Also the President once
again blamed the availability of
guns as the reason why the
five cops were murdered in
Dallas.
I saw some on the left support the idea of repealing the
Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment is
the most important amendment in the Constitution. It is
what gives it its teeth. Without the Second forget freedom
of speech.
But then again, some on the
left would like to illuminate
freedom of speech also.
As a mother of two black boys,
I was afraid for them; afraid
when they entered Dearborn;
afraid when the army soldiers
rode down my street and
pointed their rifles at my young
sons during the civil unrest in
Detroit during the 1960s;
afraid when my grandsons
were born; afraid for my great
grandsons.
Why must I always be afraid
about something that should
not exist in this country?
Once, I was asked, on television,. about my sons serving
in the U. S. army should they
be called up by the draft. I did
not birth my sons to be killed
for.a country that does not recognize their humanity was my
response. I will send them to
Canada before I permit them
to serve .
WEB DuBois’ words about the
rings true. Muhammad All 's
words ring true today
Is it plausible that the hatred
spewed on my people is a result of a guilt complex? Nothing could/can wash away that
sin then nor now.
We are a praying people. It
has been a belief of a better
life that has sustained us.
I do not believe in an eye for
an eye. I do believe, however,
that everyone should have
equal access and equal opportunity. I do believe in working towards the future in the
correct way. Even saying that,
we are still deprived and the
Rodney Kings are still being
videoed and Justice seems to
have her eyes covered.

Feeling Forsaken
By Janine Folks - Religion Columnist
FEELING alone and forgotten
by people is one thing, but feeling forsaken by God is something else. Feeling forsaken by
God is the worst feeling there
is, especially for those who totally depend on God and realize that He is their only hope.
HOW devastating it is to feel
that God has forsaken you.
That feeling has destroyed
many lives and many people
have given up because they
felt like God had left them.
WE are not alone in feeling forsaken at times. Even the most
obedient and the most knowledgeable servants of God
have felt that way at one time
or another. Even Jesus Christ
Himself felt forsaken by God at
about the ninth hour when He
cried with a loud voice saying,
“ Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”
That is to say, “My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken
me?” (Matthew 27:46 and
Mark 15:34). If Jesus felt that
way at one point, why would
we be the exception?
and at His lowest low, Jesus
felt left and forgotten by God.
As we know, God had not forsaken Jesus. God had to let
His perfect plan unfold, no
matter how painful it was to
His only begotten son. Jesus
was willing to be obedient no
matter what the cost, but He
probably never imagined how
excruciating the pain would
be.
SOMETIMES while we are
feeling forsaken, a perfect
plan is unfolding. God’s plans
may not seem perfect to us,
but we have to trust Him. We
may have agreed to do whatever it takes to please God,
but had no idea that the cost
would be so high. It may hurt
and it may not seem fair at
times, but God is in the midst.
ALWAYS remember, even at
you lowest low points, God
promises never to leave nor
forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Even though you may feel that
you’re being persecuted,
you’re not forsaken; cast
down, but not destroyed (2
Corinthians 4:9).
God is
there.

Prescription Drug
Take Back Boxes
According to the Wayne
County Office of the Medical
Examiner, there were 36
recorded
drug
overdose
deaths in 2015 in the communities of Southgate, Melvindale, and Allen Park. Other
Downriver communities and
families face the similar devastation of drug use and abuse.
The heroin and prescription
opioid epidemic continues to
take countless lives. Prevention efforts range from more
education and health care
training to better treatment and
recovery services. Using medicine drop boxes is a simple,
straight forward step all members of the community can do
to prevent prescription drug
abuse. Many police departments now have a prescription
drug drop box in their lobby.
Members of the community
can go 24/7 and safety and securing drop off their old, expired, and unused prescription
medications, medications that
might otherwise fall into the
wrong hands and be easily
misused or abused. Participating police departments will accept prescription drugs used
by people or pets. They will
not accept liquids, syringes,
needles, Epi-pens, lancets,
thermometers, inhalers, IV
bags or bio-hazards. Members
of the community are asked to
bring a sealable sandwich bag
to transfer their medications
into once at the police station.
The following Downriver police
departments have a prescription drug drop box; Melvindale,
Southgate, Allen Park, Wyandotte, Riverview, Grosse Ile,
Gibraltar, Rockwood, Woodhaven and Flat Rock.

IN HISTORY
From Page 1A
Before an audience made up
mostly of law enforcement officials, Obama noted that the
officers on the scene of the attack reacted to the gunfire by
shielding
civilians.

ever know," he said.

sible odds," the president said.
"We're proud of the men we
mourn," he said.
He praised the Dallas Police
Department for being on the
forefront of policing reform and
noted that the number of complaints about excessive force
by police has gone down in the
city in recent years. "The Dallas Police Department has
been doing it the right way," he
said.
But, he added, prejudice does
exist in American institutions,
including police departments.
"We also know that centuries
of racial discrimination — of
slavery and subjugation and
Jim Crow — they didn't simply
vanish with the end of lawful
segregation," he said.
Bush called the shooting last
Thursday evil and said the
shock of the attack had not yet
faded. He also appealed for
unity.
"At times, it seems like the
forces pulling us apart are
stronger than the forces binding us together. Argument
turns too easily into animosity.
Disagreement escalates too
quickly into dehumanization.
Too often we judge other
groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves
by our best intentions."
Obama acknowledged the pain
of the racially charged shooting. "Faced with this violence
we wonder if the divides of
race in America can ever be
bridged," he said.
"Dallas, I'm here to say we
must reject such despair. I'm
here to insist we're not as divided as we seem. I know how
far we've come against impos-
"America, we know that bias
remains. We know it," the
president continued. "None of
us is entirely innocent. No institution is entirely immune."
People write condolence
notes to the fallen police officers at a growing memorial in

Headquarters, following the

Here's What We Know About
The Victims Of The Dallas

"We mourn fewer people
today because of your brave
actions," he said, turning to
address Dallas police who
were seated onstage behind
him.
The victims, four of whom
served with the Dallas Police
Department and a fifth who
served with the Dallas Area
Rapid Transit police, ranged in
age from 32 to 55. They were
identified as Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Lorne
Ahrens, Michael Smith and
Brent Thompson. You can

The president also argued that
protesters working for police
reform "do a disservice to the
very cause of justice that they
claim to promote" if they paint
all officers as bigoted.

Mr. T made gold jewelry and
muscles very cool
Mr. T became famous during his role in the A-Team
Mr. T was born Laurence
Tureaud on 21 May 1952, in
the rough south side ghetto
of Chicago. He is the second to youngest of twelve
children (he has four sisters
and seven brothers) and
grew up in the housing projects. His father, Nathaniel
Tureaud, left when Laurence was 5, and his
mother raised the family on
$87 a month welfare in a
three-room apartment. Mr.
T's brothers encouraged
him to build up his body in
order to survive in the area;
he has commented, "If you
think I'm big, you should
see my brothers!" His
mother is a religious woman
who has had a strong influence on him. He says, "Any
man who don't love his
momma can't be no friend
of mine." He was an average student in school.
"Most of the time," he says,
"I stared out the windows,
just daydreaming. I didn't
study much because I have
a photographic memory."
Apart from one spell between 5th and 7th grades
when he went a little astray
-- playing hooky, cursing,
acting tough, being disrespectful -- he was a well-behaved child (he worried
about how his mother would
feel if he ended up in jail,
and stayed out of trouble).
He attended Dunbar Vocational High School. He was
a football star, studied martial arts, and was three
times city wrestling champion. He won a scholarship
to play football at Prairie
View A&M University in
Texas, but he was thrown
out after a year.
He was involved in the
world of pro wrestling in
1985-86 and 1994-95. Was
Hulk Hogan's tag team
partner at the first WrestleMania (1985), defeating the
team of Paul Orndorff and
Roddy Piper on March 31,
1985. His feud with Piper
continued into WrestleMania 2 (1986), when he defeated Piper in a boxing
match by disqualification.
Mr. T returned to the WWF
as a special guest referee
in 1987, then disappeared
from the wrestling world.
Seven years later, he reappeared as a special referee
for a Hogan-Ric Flair
match, in October 1994. He
stayed with Hogan for a
few matches before returning to obscurity.

Michigan Taking Firm Action
to Combat Opioid Crisis
CITY OF DETROIT TO HOLD FIRST 3K/5K
WALK AND FUN RUN JULY 23
Participants Encouraged to Dress as Super Heroes and

The Detroit Parks & Recreation Department is calling all
runners, walkers and pet
lovers for its inaugural STAY
Fit for Health 3K/5K Walk/Run

July 23, as part of National
Parks and Recreation Month.

Opioid overdoses claimed more than 1,700
Michigan lives in 2014.
LANSING. - The opioid epidemic is worsening in states
around the nation, and Michigan is among states taking firm
action to address the problem.
A legislative review from Stateline, a project of The Pew
Charitable Trusts, highlights
several bills introduced in
Michigan this year that would
stem the prescription of pain
medication and help those who
are addicted.
Scott Greenberger, Stateline's
executive director, says the
number of overdose deaths
from opioids has skyrocketed
in recent years and almost
every state is taking action.
"Whether it's putting new safeguards in place to prevent what
is called doctor shopping or
people going from doctor to
doctor to get pills - to making
an overdose antidote called
naloxone more readily available," he explains.
The Michigan House recently
passed legislation now under
consideration by the Senate
(SB 793), allocating $2.5 million to overhaul the state's prescription tracking database.
macies to offer naloxone
without prescription (SB 778
and
HB 5326), and allow training
within school districts for its
use. (SB 806 and HB 5379).
Greenberger says Gov. Rick
Snyder's recent creation of a
17-member panel to examine the opioid problem also is
an important undertaking.
"It's going to be comprised of
state and independent health
experts," Greenberger explains. "And they'll be responsible for monitoring
some of the indicators of this
epidemic and trying to recommend policies to the governor involving licensing and
law enforcement, treatment
and prevention to do something about the problem."
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were more
than 1,700 deaths related to
opioid overdose in Michigan
in 2014, nearly triple the
number since 1999.
Other bills would allow phar-

Reaching Higher
Basketball Experience
n
From the MHSAA
EAST LANSING, Mich. – July
7,2016
Because of special school rules
to limit coaches’ compensation,
national travel and live television, it is less apparent in Michigan than in some other parts of
the country; but there is widespread opinion that amateur
basketball is out of control in
America. That it’s in shambles,
operating too much outside of
school/college control, but in the
hands of corporate interests
and unregulated agents. That
it’s jeopardizing skill levels and
team play so much that we are
failing in international play. That
it’s jeopardizing the amateur
status of players and the integrity of contest results. There
is a sense that the sickness of
boys and men’s basketball is infecting the purer women’s game
as well as lower profile sports.
Because the elite athlete has
not been the primary focus of
school sports, interscholastic
athletic administrators have
avoided designing special programs for specially gifted student-athletes. More recently,
however, there is the growing
opinion that there is some danger that the corruption of the
college recruiting process in
basketball is spreading to other
sports and settling to younger
and younger athletes each year.
Preserving the health and integrity of interscholastic athletics generally may require a
more proactive approach to this
special population of players.
The “Reaching Higher” program
is the name given to Michigan’s
effort. It includes not only the
basketball event to provide assistance in a safe, inexpensive,
educational environment to
those who may have potential
to play intercollegiate basketball
at some level; but in time the
program will involve other initiatives to help establish, maintain
and strengthen the link between
youth and schools. To have
youth players aim to play for
their school team and have high
school players focused on
their school team and their educator/coach more than nonschool programs.
Because this is a joint effort of
the Michigan High School Athletic Association and the Basketball Coaches Association
of Michigan, the “Reaching
Higher” experience is also
strengthening the strong bond
between two organizations
that have the best interests of
schools and students at heart,
and together they may be establishing a model for other
high school sports in Michigan.
Taking part in the
“Reaching Higher” program
from the Telegram News reading area are the following, the
Boys are Darian OwensWhite, River Rouge, Christian
Agnew, Westland John Glenn,

Well here are the results of the
Tigers last weekend series
with the Toronto Blue-Jays.
Ian Kinsler went 1-for-4 on
Sunday and finished 3-for-15
(.200) during the four-game
series against the Toronto
Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
He was also 10-for-41 (.244)
over the 11-game road trip.
Miguel Cabrera finished 1-for4 on Sunday, 3-for-16 (.188)
for the series and 8-for-36
(.222) for the trip. Cabrera is
the only Tiger selected to play
in Tuesday's All-Star Game in
San Diego. Victor Martinez
went 0-for-4 on Sunday, 1-for15 (.067) for the series and 8for-42 (.190) for the trip. The
Tigers won the first four
games of the trip in Tampa,
then lost five of the last seven.
So far, a 1-11 record
against
division-leading
Cleveland omitted it has been
a mixed bag for Detroit. The
first half of the Tigers' season
wasn't what the organization
hoped; up till now Detroit

45-41, only two games away
from the final wild-card spot.
Nevertheless, when J.D. Martinez, Zimmermann, and
Daniel Norris return from injury (all should be back by the
end of the month), Detroit has
a reasonable case that it can

Trump
From Page 1A
Hilliary Clinton candidate for President of the United States
is scheduled to speak during
the Republican National Convention less than 90 minutes
away in Cleveland. The GOP
convention runs from July 18
to 21.
The issue of race in America is
back in primetime news after
the police shootings caught on
video of Alton Sterling in Baton
Rouge, La., on July 5th and
Philando Castile in Falcon
Heights, Minn. on July 6. On
July 7, a former Army veteran
who may have had mental
health issues, murdered five
Dallas law enforcement officers at the end of a Black
Lives Matter march.
The situation presents a perfect time for the presidential
candidates to weigh in on issues of race, policing and justice in America. Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will address the NAACP on
Monday, July 18, the first day
of the Republican National
Convention.
“In every presidential election,
we invite each of the candidates to address our convention, and we are delighted to
have Secretary Clinton join
us,” said NAACP Chairman
Roslyn Brock in a statement
on July 11.
“Secretary Clinton will have
the opportunity to address a
gathering of dedicated activists and advocates from
across the nation, and we are
proud to offer a chance for the
candidates to speak about the
major issues affecting civil
rights today,” Brock added.
“In these violent and horrifying
times, when a new generation
is waking to call for police accountability, economic and educational
equality
and
protecting the right to vote for
all people, this election marks
a significant moral moment for
America,” said NAACP President Brooks. “We look forward
to hearing Secretary Clinton’s
priorities and plan to advance
our issues of social justice,” he
added.
On July 11 in Virginia Beach
Trump declared himself the
“law and order candidate” and
spoke on the problems of
crime in the inner city. But he
offered no policy solutions.
On July 12, former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton called
for national standards for police after receiving the endorsement from Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I-VT) in New Hampshire. Clinton also spoke on
the problems of race and inequality in the justice system,
a topic she has touched on
often.
The snub of the NAACP is yet
another setback to the effort of
RNC
Chairman
Reince
Priebus to attract minority voters to the Republican Party.
Despite the efforts of several
Republicans, such as Sen.
Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and House
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.),
the GOP nominee for president is yet to display a deep interest in serious policy driven
outreach to African American
and Hispanic voters.

Statement from
State Rep.
Stephanie Chang
(D-Detroit) on
Detroit hearing on
allowing uncovered
coke breeze piles
along the
waterfront:
“Today, I am going on
record before the Detroit Zoning Board of Appeals that I am
opposed to any changes that
would allow Waterfront Terminal Holdings to store coke
breeze and other similar substances uncovered along the
Detroit River waterfront. We
need to make sure that coke
breeze and other substances
like it stored in fully enclosed
structures and that they have
water-tight ground protection.
Protecting our land, air and
water is vitally important because it has important implications for our public health.
“The Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality has
said that ‘human exposure to
fine particulate matter emissions from pet coke storage
piles, at sufficiently high concentrations and durations of
exposure, could cause respiratory and cardiovascular effects
characteristic of particulate
matter inhalation exposures.’
This is especially concerning
because coke breeze is very
prone to becoming airborne,
and therefore get into the lungs
of residents in Detroit – especially children and senior citizens, our most vulnerable
residents. Jonathan Martin, an
assistant professor in environmental toxicology at the University of Alberta has said:
‘Every pet coke pile is different,
some could be very carcinogenic, others might not really
be a carcinogenic risk at all.’ If
this could cause cancer, then
that is reason enough to eliminate that risk and store it in enclosed structures.
“To address these serious
health issues, I have sponsored House Bill 4058, which
requires that piles of coke
breeze substances be contained in an enclosed structure. Detroit already suffers
from an asthma hospitalization
rate three times higher than
the state as a whole. We
should not be endangering the
health of our residents by recklessly and irresponsibly allowing these substances to be
uncontained.”

good a shot as anyone. J.D.
Martinez (right elbow) is taking
swings but is still "a few weeks
away" from a return, Ausmus
said.
As the trade deadline
approaches, the Detroit Tigers
find themselves in an uneasy
dilemma one for which there
might be no correct answer.
The Tigers sold at last year's
deadline turning David Price
and Yoenis Cespedes into a
haul of prospects nonetheless
spent again in the offseason
by landing Justin Upton and
Jordan Zimmermann, trading
for Cameron Maybin and
Francisco Rodriguez, and resigning J.D. Martinez. However with Mike Pelfrey and
Anibal
Sanchez
ranking
among the worst pitchers in all
of baseball. Pelfrey has limited his messes for the most
part, and is coming off his best
start of the season in a win
over the Rays last weekend.
Sanchez, on the other hand,
has been shuttled between the
rotation and bullpen despite
earning nearly $16 million this
season.
In addition Mark
Lowe and his velocity has declined, he isn't fooling hitters,
and opponents of all shapes
and sizes are squaring him up
with regularity. He currently
owns the worst ERA in baseball among pitchers with at
least 20 innings pitched, and is
already looking like dead
money despite being under
contract through 2017.
The team's three most
reliable hitters Miguel Cabrera,
Ian Kinsler, and Victor Martinez are 33, 34, and 37, respectively. All of them still can
hit, and largely because of
them, Detroit's offense is
ranked eighth in the league in
runs and seventh in OPS. The
club's pitching (ranked 24th in
ERA) needs to improve for a
serious run, and a depth
starter could be very useful
during the second half of the
season. The tough questions
are coming for Detroit.
Whether they catch Cleveland
or not, I think they will be in the
playoff hunt for most of the
season, especially if other
teams in the race (Chicago,
Kansas City, Boston, Seattle,
etc.) continue to fade.
The next three weeks will say
a great deal about how the
Tigers are prepared to answer
them. Kansas City Royals @
Detroit Tigers, Friday, Jul 15,
2016, 7:10 PM EDT, and following the All-Star break, RHP
Justin Verlander (8-6, 4.07)
starts the opener of a threegame home series against the
Royals. Verlander has won
once in his past four starts.

Michigan Civil Rights Commission to

Water Crisis Thursday, July 14
Lansing–The Michigan
Civil Rights Commission (the Commission)
will conduct a second
public hearing to take
testimony on claims of
discrimination
and
racial bias in the Flint
water crisis on Thursday, July 14, at 3 pm in
the Northbank Center
Grand Ballroom, located at 432 N. Saginaw St. in Flint,
Michigan. The Thursday hearing will focus
on the impact of the
water crisis on the
city’s housing situation.
At their May 23 meeting, Commissioners
voted unanimously to
focus their second
hearing on housing.
The motion says in
part: “Testimony shall
focus on, but not be
limited to, redlining, reduction in housing values, property taxes,
inability to obtain appraisals and disparities
in how properties are
maintained after foreclosure caused as a result of the provision of
unsafe water to Flint
residents through the
public water system.”

Dear Alma,
The race for the “Best Animation Feature Film” Oscar is on.
“Finding Dory” may be the
most touching and sentimental
contender. On the other hand,
“The Secret Life of Pets” has
got to be the coolest of the
challengers, so far. It’s a thoroughly amusing comedy
thanks to the over-animated
Kevin Hart and dour sarcastic
Louis C.K. Those two make
the lead characters vibrant.
They make you want to get
your bark on.
A funny script by Cinco Paul
and Ken Daurio and crisp direction by Chris Renaud and co-direction by Yarrow Cheney, the
team behind “Despicable Me,”
help get things off to a good
start. They get you into the
heads and mindsets of Manhattan pets, who may be more
aware than their owners can
imagine. These animals are
gaming the system.

does. He’s a sociable terrier,
the big paw on campus in her
building. In a language they understand, pets converse behind
closed doors. Max is pals with
the selfish, snippy cat Chloe
(voiced by Lake Bell), who
purrs, “As your friend I don’t
care about you, or your problems.”
And it is with those deaf ears
that Chloe listens to Max pour
his heartache out after Katie
brings home a big buffoon mutt
named Duke (voiced by Eric
Stonestreet, “Modern Family”),
who steals Max’s thunder and
their owner’s attention. The two
jealous,
love-envy
dogs
scheme against each other.
Both want to be the solo pet.
Their testy, backbiting squabbles find them out on the street,
with their dog collars gone, and
captured by animal control—
dogcatchers. They’re in luck
when a renegade small, white
bunny rabbit named Snowball
(voiced by Kevin Hart) frees a
dog from the catchers’ paddy
wagon and liberates them too.
Max and Duke follow Snowball
to his underground, sewer lair.
The belligerent bunny leads an
army of pets who have been
abandoned by their owners. In
a voice as militant as a gang
leader’s, Snowball tells a room
full of followers, “All of us have
suffered at the hands of humans. They say they love us,
then they throw us out.” His militia group, “Flushed Pets,” is out
to destroy humanity as revenge
for their ill treatment. Afraid for
their lives, Max and Duke must
swear allegiance to Snowball
and his guerrilla movement.
At some point in this animal
story, the creatures figure out
they will have to work together
to survive and conquer. That is
the message adults and kids
will have internalized when they
exit the theater with an inner
glow brought on by the charm
only mischievous pets can
bring.

I work in a small accounting
office of 16 people. We sit in
cubicles very close to one another and we have more men
than women. This is important
to share as I explain my situation. My problem is my
coworker. She’s a very young
woman who insist on sitting
with her legs wide open. She
will turn away from her desk
and what seems to be purposely, prop up one leg so
you can see up under her
dress. I know this sounds
crazy, but she does. And
every time she does it I think,
WTH! When we have meetings in the conference room,
she puts her feet in her chair
and sits so you can look all
the way up her dress. I am
sick of it! Several employees
talk about her behind her
back. They even make jokes
about it. I know that too is immature. She’s a mess, what
she’s doing is a mess, the stupid jokes are a mess and I’ve
had enough. What can I do?
Bothered
Dear Bothered
Help me to clarify, are you
mad because she's trying to
show her cookies in the office
or are you mad that you don't
have enough nerves to do the
same? LOL. Naaw, I’m just
kidding, I can see the steam
coming outta your ears! Bear
with me as I’m clarifying because, sometimes I get mad
Trust me when I say you’re not
alone in your exasperation of
experiencing an unnecessary
glance of ones undies. I’ve
seen short dresses giving off a
light show that would rival a
neighborhood 4th of July fireworks display - and I know
there’s gotta be a breeze
above those knees.
You’re right, this form of a
sometimes dainty display can
make for a very uncomfortable
situation in the workplace, so
here’s my take - you can
choose to do one of two
things. Send an anonymous
note to Human Resources or
grab your big girl glove and
pitch it to her straight! The next
time she's spread eagle at her
desk, hand her a note (no, not
an email) a note that says,
"Girl, adjust yourself. I really
don't feel like looking up your
dress right now,” LOL. I think a
note is appropriate because,
like you said, you’re one of a
few women in a small office
setting. Follow up with a whisper of “Thanks, I hope we’re
cool, no worries." Allow yourself to be super, super casual
and not come across demanding. Sorta like you would in the
community room of your dorm.
With that acknowledgement,
you’ve laid all her cards on the
table. It's totally up to her to
win, lose or cover up her
drawzz.

At 1119hrs, officers were dispatched to the 1st Block of
West Pleasant on a Domestic
Violence complaint. A 27 year
old female states she was assault by her 27 year old
boyfriend. She states incident
began when she was sleeping
and her boyfriend woke her up
asking for her cell phone code.
And when she refused he became irate and began assaulting her, smacking her across
her face, twice, with a open
hand, before she ran into the
