The performance that officially kicked off the show.

Journal Staff Writer
The University of Toledo’s
theatre, located in the Student Union building, was filled
with college students from all
ethnicities, on Friday night,
March 25, as they watched
their fellow classmates, female, as well as male, model
various fashionable clothing.
Themed, “Coming to America,”
students would model African/
Egyptian clothing, and then as
the show progressed, move
more into a modern, “Sex in
the City,” taking from the popular movie, style of clothing.
Perfectly choreographed, the
models, some two, three, or
more, at a time, would walk
down, and slightly dance to the
beat of the song, the runway, a
modeling term used to describe
the stage, to hip hop music.
Then, a tall shirtless male model, who garnished numerous
applause, and cat calls from female audience members, came
out on the stage. Following him
were approximately eight female dancers, dressed in grass
skirts, black tops, wearing no
shoes. They would perform traditional African dance, while
forming two lines. At the end
of their dance both lines would
face each other and the dancers would fall to the ground, as
if bowing toward one another.
Then, a female model dressed
in African, royal garment, while
walking down the middle of the

The GOP: ‘Political
Correctness Run Amok’

Great Job!!!
Just Beautiful, May God Bless You All and
Journal Business.
The Pickett & Meyers Family Thank You!!

The two most dramatic
political events of last week
involving the Republican
Party - Donald Trump’s
election victories in the
Super Tuesday Republican
primaries, and GOP Senators re-stating their refusal
to even consider President
Obama’s nominee for the
Supreme Court -dramatically illuminate what a
certain fashionable, ugly
phrase really means and
who it most often applies
to.
The phrase I’m referring
to is “political correctness
run amok.”
For more than two decades, those words have
been hurled at acts or
policies or even just suggestions deemed “too
concerned” with making
a place in society for this
or that outsider group. My
own stripped-down definition of the phrase is this:
We’re being too kind to the
(fill in the blank). Let’s keep
on making them feel as if
they don’t belong.
But now, it should be
clear to all that the Republican Party is the true
practitioner of political
correctness, and that the
wreck the GOP has become since Trump entered
its presidential primary
contest nearly a year ago is
the result of the GOP’s own
corrosive dynamic of political correctness run amok.
The rigid, reactionary and
amoral code of conduct it
established within its ranks
and, as soon as President
Obama took office, stoked
within its base of supporters is a powerful example
of the damage an unthinking, unquestioning obedi-
ence to a particular ideology can do.
That rigidity forced it
into a political dynamic of
all-out opposition to any
Obama proposal. Yet, it
still spectacularly failed to
defeat such major Obama
initiatives as Obamacare
“
zens United decision of the
Supreme Court’s conservative majority handed up in
2010.
Those three developments led directly to presidential primary rampage of
Trump, who now threatens
the GOP with “riots” at its

Republican Party is the true practitioner of
political correctness, and that the wreck the
GOP has become since Trump entered its
presidential primary contest nearly a year
ago is the result of the GOP’s own corrosive

and the Iran Nuclear deal.
Nor, of course, did it make
good on now-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s notorious 2010
boast that the GOP would
make Obama a one-term
president. And it backed
the disastrous - for it and
the nation as a whole - Citi-
“
Not too long ago Americans considered terrorism as some geopolitical ailment happening
in the Third World. But
since September 11,
2001 when a team of hijackers commandeered
jet airplanes filled with
innocent US citizens
and crashed (Kamikaze style) into the Twin
Trade Towers, the Pentagon and into a Pennsylvania countryside our
attitudes have changed.
That event and hundreds
of events afterwards
constantly reminds us
that there is a dangerous world out there and
in here.
These terror groups
were considered fledgling and were housed
in desolate places. It
seems like the more we
destroy terrorists they
multiply like pesky flies
or cockroaches. They
all have one thing in
common. They hate the
United States with a vengeance. The majority of
them cling to a radical
di. Mass beheadings,
rapes, human torching
are just a few of their
horrible deeds. They actually have an organized
army and employ heavy
artillery in their menu of
weapons. They proclaim
a state which is a blend
of western Iraq and
eastern Syria. They actively recruit males and
females from around
the world. You will find
ISIS in Libya, Syria, Iraq
and they have a reach
via lone wolf agents
or small bands in the
western world including
Europe and the United
States. The hundreds of
millions of refugees that
are now passing through
new borders are littered
with ISIS agents coming
to do harm to peace loving citizens.
We had a false “funeral” for AL – QAEDA.
During the 2012 national election, the Democrats chanted “Osama
Bin Laden is dead and
AL – QAEDA is on the
run”. Bin Laden was
certainly dead but AL

CFPB orders Citibank to refund

Last year, the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) launched a
national initiative, dubbed Operation Collection Protection,
to further protect consumers
from unlawful practices related to debt collection. Now,
in a report to the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB), FTC summarized its
results on behalf of consumers and additionally pledged
to continue efforts with more
joint actions with law enforcement partners.
In a February 12 letter to
CFPB, FTC highlighted its most
successful efforts to eliminate
illegal debt collection practices that include:
 Coordination of the first
federal-state-local
enforcement effort dedicated to targeting deceptive and abusive
debt collection practices;
 Obtaining nearly $94

Obama presidency.
That posture has now produced the
GOP’s ridiculous claim that Obama
should neglect his presidential responsibility because it fears that with
Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, it’s
lost control of the Supreme Court.
Of course, Obama ignored that desperate demand, pointedly announcing his Supreme Court nominee,
Merrick Garland, chief judge of the
U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia, at a Rose Garden ceremony the day after Trump’s Super Tuesday victories made his position atop
the wreckage of the GOP that much
stronger.
The juxtaposition of those two
events underscore that American
society is well on its way this year to
a moment of extraordinary political
drama. In that regard, it’s worth citing
three comments that, taken together,
frame how it got here and what’s at
stake.
The first comes from It’s Even
Worse Than It Look, the 2012 book by
two veteran scholars of American politics, Thomas E. Mann and Norman
Ornstein. They wrote: “The Republi-
can Party has become an insurgent
outlier - ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the [nation’s] inherited
social and economic regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by
conventional understanding of facts,
evidence and science; and dismissive
of the legitimacy of its political opposition.”
The second is from words written
last week by Rich Lowry, editor of the
staunchly conservative National Review magazine:
“Trump’s iteration of the Republican Party won’t have a bleeding
heart;” he stated, “it will be out for
blood. Far from eschewing negative
campaigning, personal abuse - and
threats - will be its calling card. It will
care less about policy than attitude
and shibboleths. Electorally, it will
repel minorities and hope to run up
the score with whites. It won’t have
an open hand on immigration but will
talk of mass deportation. It won’t care
about human rights, and in fact will
be happy to violate them - or threaten
to - as the national interest and a desire for vengeance dictate.”
Finally, these are words President
failing to promptly forward
consumer payments to debt
buyers. The delays resulted
in consumers being subjected
to collection attempts for bills
already paid from 2010-2013.
“In order to effectively address debt collection abuses
and the harms they cause,
consumers need law enforcement to step up at every level,” said Lisa Stifler, a senior
policy counsel with the Center for Responsible Lending.
“Rules for fair debt collection
require the participation of
state legislatures, regulators
and courts. Enforcement actions by Attorneys General are
critical to ensuring that common-sense rules are followed
by debt collectors and that
consumers are treated fairly.”
Charlene Crowell is a communications manager with the Center for Responsible Lending. She

Obama spoke in declaring Judge Garland is his nominee for the Supreme
Court:
“At a time when our politics are so
polarized, at a time when norms and
customs of political rhetoric and courtesy and comity are so often treated
like they’re disposable - this is precisely the time when we should play it
straight, and treat the process of appointing a Supreme Court justice with
the seriousness and care it deserves.
... [If not], then it will not only be an
abdication of the Senate’s constitutional duty, it will indicate a process
for nominating and confirming judges
that is beyond repair. ... The reputation of the Supreme Court will inevitably suffer. Faith in our justice system
will inevitably suffer. Our democracy
will ultimately suffer as well. I have
fulfilled my constitutional duty. Now
it’s time for the Senate to do theirs.
Presidents do not stop working in the
final year of their term. Neither should
a senator.”
Lee A. Daniels is writing a book on
the Obama Years and the 2016 presidential election.
drug addiction increases in this nation and deadly
violence to peace loving
citizens of Afghanistan and neighboring.
The overall problem is a morphing bureaucracy
within the policing authorities. The United Nations,
PanAfrican Union, Interpol, FBI, CIA, KGB, etc. are
hacking away at it but there is no concerted and
organized initiative coming from these allies that
would wipe out the aforementioned groups. Where
is the agreed upon strategy? Why can’t we hunt
them out into the open and destroy them with awesome military might? They massacre our males
without retribution; kidnapped our girls and turn
them into sex slaves for sale; yield utter destruction
to some of the world’s most precious architecture
sights and relics and nothing happens from our
side.
The leadership of the world must face this growing “cancer” and yank it out for good. There can
be no peace when we allow those who are committed to violence and war grow and prosper. Will the
true leaders step forward and apply your God given
courage and determination.

Rashad Ervin, who
was that shirtless king,
told The Toledo Journal,
“Modeling isn’t as easy
as people think. We have
to be able to portray to
the audience the type of
person we’re modeling.”
Charlee Dumars, said,
“We work long hours,
on top of attending our

Ms. Jones also spoke
about diversifying the cur

experience, which would
show that African American insight is just as
valuable in other areas
of the academic world.

Martina Sykes as Mary Wells in Motown the
Musical starting this week
BY JURRY
TAALIB-DEEN
From March
29 through April
3 at the Stranahah Theatre,
4645
Heatherdowns Blvd.,Toledoans will be
able to relive the
sound that revolutionized music in America.
Motow n t he Mus i c a l w i l l b e ma k i ng a l i m ite d v is it during this week. One of the stars of the show is Martina Sykes, 28, a Florida native, who has starred in Raindogs, L itt le Shop of Hor rors, Rent, and t he Tony Award
winning musical, Hairspray, will be playing the late Mary Wells.
Ms. Sykes told The Toledo Journal, during a telephone interview, that in order to prepare for the role, she studied a multitude of videos, and musical performances by Ms. Wells. What
she couldn’t garnish from the videos, she talked to the one
who knew Ms. Wells; Barry Gordy, the founder of Motown.
“Mr. Gordy told me a lot about Ms. Wells that I didn’t know,” she
said. “For example, I didn’t know Ms. Wells, at 17 years of age, pursued Mr. Gordy to give him a song, for Jackie Wilson to sing. Initially, Mr. Gordy told me, that he didn’t make time for Ms. Wells, but
due to her persistence, he asked her what was the name of the song?
She would tell him, “Bye, Bye Baby,” and she thought Jackie Wilson
would be best to sing the song. Mr. Gordy then told her, he had to
hear how the song sounded first, and wanted her to sing it. After
he heard Ms. Wells sing the song, Ms. Sykes said Mr. Gordy told
her that he knew, no one could sing that particular song better than
her, and he wanted her to meet him at Hittsvile, the name of the recording studio, the next day, to officially begin her musical career.”
From that information shared with Ms. Sykes,
s h e w a s a b l e t o l e a r n m o r e a b o u t M s . We l l s .
“Playing the role of a real person is more challenging than a fictional character, because that person actually existed, and you have to
really have that person’s demeanor down,” she said. “Fictional characters are easily developed, but a real person, you have to portray
them according to how people knew him or her. You have to portray
them with truth and integrity or you will do yourself, the person
you’re portraying, and the audience a disservice,” Ms. Sykes said.
Ms. Sykes said people will love the show. They will get the opportunity to learn things, they might not have known, about
Barry Gordy, and the stars who helped put Motown on the map,
portrayed by dynamic actors, and actresses, signing, and dancing.
“ We e n c o u r a g e p e o p l e t o d a n c e , a n d s i n g a l o n g w i t h

What to know about tuberculosis
testing for your children
( S t a t e P o i n t )
Tuberculosis (TB) is
a serious, highly contagious disease that kills
about 1.5 million people
each year worldwide and
has become the world’s
leading infectious disease killer, according to
a new report from the
World Health Organization.
TB usually begins as
a latent infection, which
can be silent for weeks,
months or years before
developing into an active contagious disease
characterized by chronic
cough, fever, unexplained
weight loss, night sweats
and coughing up blood.
With this in mind, regular
testing for the early stage
of TB infection is important, especially in children
whose immune systems
are not fully developed
and thereby have a higher risk of it progressing
into an active and possibly deadly disease.
However, “inaccurate,”
“time-consuming” and
“outdated” are the three
terms most often used to
describe the 110-year-old
TB skin test, which is the
most commonly used test
to aid in the diagnosis of
the infection. The TB skin
test requires an injection
of antigens to see how
the patient’s body reacts,
multiple doctors’ visits
and can result in false
positives, especially in
those who have been vaccinated for TB in the past.
Luckily another option
for the detection of TB infection -- a TB Blood Test
-- is now being offered
and represents a major
scientific advance over
its predecessor, giving
greater accuracy and a
more dependable result.
Reliable results from the
TB Blood Test can be obtained within 24 hours
and provided by telephone, offering the convenience of a single visit,
and confidence in an objective, laboratory-based
result. More information
can be found at www.
TheTBBloodTest.com.
As a parent or caretaker, your children and loved
ones come first, and when
it comes to their health,
you don’t want any surprises. Talk to your doctor about better testing
methods for TB infection
that offer greater reliability and convenience.

Red Cross has significant need for type O negative blood
TOLEDO, Ohio (March
23, 2016) — The American Red Cross has a significant need for type O
negative blood donors to
donate blood for patients.
Type O negative blood
can be transfused to patients with any blood type
and is often used in emergency situations. While
less than 7 percent of the
U.S. population has type
O negative blood, hospitals depend on frequent
O negative donations to
ensure it’s always available for patients in need.
Eligible donors with type
O negative blood are en
couraged to make a whole
blood or double red cell
donation, where available,
through the Red Cross.
During a double red cell
donation, two units of
red blood cells are collected while most of the
plasma and platelets are
returned to the donor.
“Type O negative donors
are an important part of
the Red Cross trauma
team,” said Christy Peters,
communications
manager for American
Red Cross Blood Services.
“While all blood types are
needed, type O negative
donations are necessary
in emergency situations
when there is no time
to determine a patient’s
blood type. Because there
is such a high demand
for type O negative blood,
O negative donors are
needed to donate often.”
Blood donation appointments can be quickly and
easily scheduled by using
the Red Cross Blood Donor
App, visiting redcrossblood.
org or calling 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Because of generous donors, the Red Cross is able
to provide blood products
to trauma patients like
Carla Randecker. In 1995
, a semi-truck failed to halt
at a stop sign, changing
Randecker’s life forever.
She suffered a broken
neck and femur. She woke
from surgery to see a bag
of blood attached to her IV.
“I’m O negative, a rari
ty,” said Randecker. “All
I remember was, wow,
someone gave their blood
for me. I made a promise
that day to do the same.

how we look for Easter, but
we forget that there are
people who are hungry.”
He said that the coalition of churches gave
away, over 50 hams to
needy people in Toledo.
“We want to be able
to stand in front of the
Lord, and give account
of
our
stewardship,
that we fed the hungry” Pastor Brock said.
“We also want to thank
the ownership of The Toledo Journal for being in
our community, and doing
quality stories,” he said.

FUNERAL DIRECTORS
C. Brian Brown
A word from C. BROWN and
C. BRIAN BROWN DIRECTORS
Dear Mr. Brown: My dad died in a hospital at age 87 after a 3
week stay. He was admitted due to a stroke and was unable to communicate with us, the family, very well. We felt his indication was
as if he was not being treated with the best abilities and made very
comfortable. He expressed to us the amount of pain he was in without some type of satisfaction. Eventually he died in that hospital
and we requested an autopsy of his body. The hospital refused to
do so. What is the liability of the hospital of his death? Mary C.W.
Dear Mary C.: My condolences to you and your family. As to your
question, it is not a simple answer. Let it be known that I am not an
attorney. However: as far as autopsies are concerned, there are mainly two reasons to do so. One reason is to ascertain the cause of death
for forensic evidentiary purposes, done by the Coroner and the other is
to ascertain the cause of a natural death along with accreditation done
by the hospital. The Coroner is an elected official to protect the public
from continual homicidal acts as well as separating those acts from accidental and unexplained deaths. Hospitals are not required to do autopsies for questionable forensic reasons. That is a matter for the Coroner.

SOCIAL SECURITY
Filing taxes just got
(a little bit) easier
By Phil Walton
Social Security Manager in Toledo, OH
Now that it’s March, your annual tax filing deadline is fast approaching. If you receive Social Security benefits, one of the documents you need to file
your federal income tax return is your Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099/1042S).
Your Social Security benefits may be taxable. This
includes monthly retirement, survivor, and disability
benefits. About one-third of people receiving Social
Security benefits must pay taxes on some of these
benefits, depending on the amount of their taxable
income. This usually happens if you have other substantial income — such as wages, self-employment,
interest, dividends, and other taxable income that
must be reported on your tax return — in addition to
your Social Security benefits. You will never have to
pay taxes on more than 85 percent of your Social
Security benefits, based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules.
To find out if you must pay taxes on your benefits, you will need your Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099/1042S). You should automatically receive it in the mail each January. It shows
the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how
13
Classifieds/News
much Social Security income to report to the IRS on
your tax return. The benefit statement is not available for people who receive Supplemental Security
Income (SSI), as SSI payments are not taxable.
Whether you file your taxes early or wait until the
deadline, Social Security makes it easy to obtain a
replacement benefit statement if you didn’t receive
one or misplaced it. You can get an instant replacement easily by using your secure online my Social
Security account. If you don’t already have an account, you can create one in minutes. Follow the link
below to the my Social Security page, and select
“Sign In or Create an Account.” Once you are logged
in, select the “Replacement Documents” tab to obtain your replacement 1099 or 1042S benefit statement. You can also use your personal my Social Security account to keep track of your earnings each
year, manage your benefits, and more.
You can also obtain a replacement benefit statement by calling us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800325-0778), Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7
p.m., or by contacting your local Social Security Office. If you live outside of the United States, please
contact your nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. But
by going online you can print your replacement benefit statement immediately and not have to wait to
receive it in the mail.
With a my Social Security account, gathering your
Social Security information for tax season has never
been easier. Open your own personal my Social Security account today at www.socialsecurity.gov/

Commentary:
Why not you? There are so many people are accomplishing their goals and dreams. From building
business empire, being a movie star, getting a college
degree, or a great singer it can and has been done. My
question is why not you? If they can do it so can you.
Why not you? John D. Rockefeller the richest man in
the history of the world at an estimate of nearly 700 billion
dollars in today’s money believed that God had called him
to be the greatest business man ever because his life was
spared. He missed his train to New York by five minutes and
everybody on that train was killed in an accident. He John
D. Rockefeller became that just off a belief why not you?
Each of you have a purpose, something you’re suppose too do, something to say or even to build. Why
not you? Stir up your gift, wake up from your sleep
and do it. Why not you? I believe in you, I have faith in
you, you will and can change the world. Why not you?
Lastly, you are one of a kind. Just don’t look at what
everybody else is doing because they have their own
journey and some things happened with them that neither you nor me know about. One of the most powerful
and richest people in the world have in common is they
all said why not me? So ask yourself this question when
thinking about your goals and dreams is why not me?
Question 1)
Dear Dr. Sam, every time I tell my girlfriend the
truth, she always says that’s not what it is? I have
never lied to her about anything, but she never believes I am telling her the truth? Dr. Sam, how can I
convince her I am doing what I say? (Charles, 38)
Answer)
Charles, let’s say you are telling the truth about everything and she doesn’t believe you. One or two things
is happening? She is dealing with her own insecurities
which won’t allow her to trust anyone. Secondly, she is
could be holding on to her past which had a lot of trust
issues. Charles, let’s pretend you use to lie before you got
born again? Maybe you hurt her so bad she isn’t trusting
you right now, but that is fixable. Do what you’re doing
right now stay consistent, love her, encourage her and
most of all pray for the both of you until you see change.
Question 2)
Dear Dr. Sam, every time I do things to try and make
my man happy, it seems as though he likes it but he
don’t love it. I want to be the best wife to my husband
but sometimes I am at a lost. Dr. Sam can you give
me advice on how to do better with him? (Chanel, 45)
Answer)
Dear Chanel, let’s assume your husband is already a
happy guy. One thing woman do a lot is not listen and learn
when there husband is telling them something. For exam-
ple, if your husband tell you he wants a plain cheeseburger
with nothing on it and you come back with everything on it
then you have messed up. Your intentions were good but
when a man tell you he wants a cheeseburger just give
him that. If you want to do extra to it just ask him first to
see if it is ok? This will make your man extremely happy.
Chanel, when you give a man what he ask for he will build
you a house from the ground up with his bare hands.

Your Horoscope
Aries
This week, you’ll truly be in your element, and perhaps a tad impulsive, too. If you want to get your
work completed in a timely manner, you’ll need to
concentrate, and this could be easier said than done.
You may be distracted by new ideas, opportunities,
knowledge, or the Internet. However, you’d be better
off tackling your responsibilities than pushing them
to one side, simply because other people are relying on you and your image could suffer if you don’t.
Taurus
Powerful influences showing up at this time could
see you hesitating, which may prove fatal. You’ll
need to make up your mind whether you want
something or you don’t. If you’re at all uncertain,
let your instincts be your guide. However, trusting
your intuition may not be as easy as it should be. In
that case, confiding in a trusted friend may be your
best alternative. He or she might be able to spot
certain flaws or special benefits that you’ve missed.
Gemini
This could be a very sociable week ahead, with plenty of opportunities for mixing and mingling. And you
might find yourself involved in both formal and informal
events. Even so, your connections with others should
be charged with a lot of energy, encouraging you to
swap business ideas, make bold plans, or perhaps enjoy a little romance. On the home front, entertaining can
be fun, though it helps to choose your guests wisely.
Cancer
You may be wondering how will you know if you’re
making the right decision this week? It’s possible
you may not! It’s said that the proof of the pudding
is in the eating. Bearing that in mind, you’ll need
to get involved personally before you can make an
informed decision. Even so, there’s a tendency right
now to mistrust your instincts. If this is true, the next
best thing is to look at the results you’re getting.
If they’re all you hoped for, then you’re good to go.
Leo
Try not to get carried away being enthralled by all
kinds of adventures and opportunities. With Mars in
Aries and your zone of travel and exploration, sticking
to one plan or idea may not be easy because boredom could set in fairly quickly. However, if you’re to
get anywhere at all, you’ll need to make a decision
and abide by it. Perhaps you may not be so tempted to jump ship if you involve others in your plans.
Virgo
This week, you are unlikely to beat around the
bush and could be a time of plain speaking. This
week’s energies could see you being a little bit harsh

with someone, particularly if you feel you’ve been
wronged in any way. Nevertheless, the more sensitive qualities of Venus and Neptune in Pisces enable you to put yourself in their shoes, if you’re willing. If you can do this, you’ll understand why they did
what they did and what your next move should be.
Libra
With new ideas and opportunities helping to enhance
your bond this can be an exciting time for your relationships,There will be a lot to talk about in the days
ahead, and some of it could be a bit uncomfortable,
particularly midweek. It’s important that you stand
your ground. Don’t feel you have to cooperate if you
don’t want to. However, you also have a great opportunity to clear the air and rewrite the script concerning your connection with a significant other.
Scorpio
With Saturn encouraging you to be more responsible
for your finances money matters may not have been
easy for some time. You may have found it necessary to cut back and recycle certain items rather than
buy new. Nevertheless, this week brings opportunities for more work, whether temporary or long-term.
An offer that comes out of the blue could be the answer to a prayer and provide much-needed cash.
Ideas for enhancing your income could also show up.
Sagittarius
When there’s so much to do and so many places to go,
it may be difficult to stay on track regarding your commitments. You could be lured by adventure or perhaps
the thrill of a new romance or an opportunity to go to
a place you’ve long wanted to visit. However, it is possible to fulfill your responsibilities and enjoy yourself if
you’re prepared to think outside the box. Also, you may
be doing more than your fair share of work at home.
Capricorn
The coming days and weeks can be excellent for letting
go of emotional baggage that might prevent you from
getting the most out of a heartfelt talk. You may find it
difficult to reconcile your hopes and plans with those of
family members. While you may have opted to let them
have their way, a part you could feel a bit resentful. If
you need to discuss matters with a trusted friend first,
it might give you a fresh perspective on your issues.
Aquarius
You will find it very exciting if you are collaborating
on plans and projects which give you a great feeling
of being part of a team. There’s plenty going on this
week that you’ll want to be involved in for these results. However, if you’re discussing sensitive issues,
it helps to tread with care. Aside from this, you can
Your Horoscope
make plenty of progress this week so long as you're
willing to cooperate. But this could be an issue, as
harmonizing viewpoints may not be an easy process.
Pisces
In the weeks ahead, you're geared up to make progress now.. And even though Saturn is currently retrograde at the top of your chart, your ambitious side is
very much in the forefront. Although your best-laid
plans may be delayed, don't put them off altogether. Spurred on by Mars, this is the time to explore
new possibilities and make those vital connections
that could help you achieve your dream. Your finances could improve if you make the right moves.

What you should know
about firearms in Ohio
Am. Sub. H.B.
234, effective March
2015, changed a number of Ohio firearms laws.
It reduced initial concealed handgun license
(CHL) training from 12 to
8 hours, allowed online
training (except for a mandatory, two hour block of
live-fire training) and eliminated the 45-day Ohio
residency requirement.
Additionally, Ohio will now
refuse CHLs to applicants
who are prohibited from
possessing firearms under the more expansive
list of federal firearm
prohibitions, rather than
the narrower list of firearm prohibitions listed in
the Ohio Revised Code.
Q: Must I register
my firearms in Ohio?
A: Generally, no. The Ohio
Revised Code does not require firearm registration,
and prohibits municipalities from creating compulsory local firearm registries. You must register
certain firearms and components that are federally
regulated by the National
Firearms Act, such as sup-
pressors and automatic
weapons, with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives.
Q:
Is
“open
carry”
legal
in
Ohio?
A: Yes. However, a person may not openly carry a loaded firearm in a
motor vehicle without a
CHL. “Open carry” is also
prohibited in certain places, such as corrections facilities and courthouses.
Q: Must the sheriff
issue my concealed
handgun license?
A: Yes, provided you
qualify.
The
sheriff
may not deny a CHL to
a qualified applicant.
Q: Does my concealed
handgun license allow me
to carry other weapons?
A: No. Ohio issues a
concealed handgun license, which applies
only to handguns. Having such a license does
not authorize you to
carry other weapons.
Q: Can I carry a
loaded, concealed
handgun into a bar?
A: If you have a CHL, you
may carry a concealed,
loaded handgun in a bar
as long as you do not
consume alcohol, are
not under the influence
of alcohol, and the bar
owner has not posted a
message saying that concealed weapons are prohibited on the premises.
Q: How can I legally carry a handgun
in a motor vehicle?
A: As long as you have a
CHL, there are no restrictions on how you choose
to carry a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle.
If you do not have a CHL,
you may transport a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle if it is unloaded and
located in a closed package, box, bag or case, or
in a compartment that
can be reached only by
leaving the vehicle (e.g.,
the trunk). Alternatively,
you can transport an unloaded firearm in plain
sight and secured in a
rack or holder made for
that purpose. “Unloaded” means there is no
ammunition in the handgun (chambered or in an
inserted magazine) and
there is not a loaded magazine that is compatible
with the gun that can be
accessed without leaving the vehicle, or without opening a complete
and separate enclosure
from within the vehicle.
Q: I have a license to
carry a concealed handgun. If I am pulled over
while driving, must I tell
the law enforcement officer that I am carrying
a concealed handgun?
A: Yes. If you are stopped
by a law enforcement officer, you must promptly
notify the officer that you
have a CHL, and that you
are currently armed. You
do not have to notify the
officer, however, if you
are not in possession of
a handgun at the time
the officer stops you. Your
duty to notify extends to
encounters with law enforcement even outside
of a motor vehicle, as long
as the stop is “for a law
enforcement purpose.”
Q: Can I carry a concealed handgun into
a
private
business?
