Department.
By Jurry Taalib-Deen
Journal Staff Writer
In an effort to increase the
number of minority officers
within the Toledo Police Department, TPD, the African
American Police League
began recruiting interested
candidates a year ago.
Sixteen young African
American males, and
females, some with
degrees, sat attentively during the first, of
an ongoing mentoring
program, on October 28,
at the headquarters of the
African American Legacy
Project, 1326 Collingwood. Those in attendance
were some who recently
passed their Civil Service
Test. There, the officers
discussed post-test information such as the
Civil Service Test Bands,
background checks, the
appeals process, medical
and psychological testing,
the oral interview process,
and physical fitness.
The officers further explained the importance
of having a good support
system while they’re in
the six month long Police
Academy; especially if they
have children.
In additions, they stressed
to their young, potential
recruits, that people who
come from a long line of
police officers, have an
advantage because they
receive guidance from
them on what to expect
Sgt. Anita Madison told
The Toledo Journal,
“We’re really working hard
to increase the number
of minority officers on our
department. This effort is
something the entire department is a part of. We
all want to increase those
numbers.”

After viewing many of the

System, AREIS, during a
press conference hosted
by Anita Lopez, Lucas
County Auditor, and two of
her top officials, on Thursday, October 28, two reporters complimented
the department. They felt
that, the new upgrades
will have the system reviling Google Maps; the high
tech application that allows
user detail properties and
land marks throughout the
world.
In fact, the system is the
only one of its kind in the
country, and other counties throughout the U.S.
will study Lucas County’s
system and soon after,
begin upgrading.
The advanced system is
not only friendly for the
general public, but it’s especially beneficial to those
in the real estate market.

Caregiver Expo to Help Sons, Daughters and Spouses Who are Stressed Caring for Aging Loved Ones
The Area Office on Aging’s 8th Annual
Caregiver Expo on Saturday, November 14
at Parkway Place, 2592 Parkway Plaza in
Maumee will connect sons, daughters with
resources to help them care for their aging
parents. The event goes from 10 am – 2 pm.
The average family caregiver 20 hours per
week on unpaid caregiving activities and
spends over $5,000 per year on out of pocket caregiving expenses for their aging loved
one. While the emotional, physical and financial stress of the family caregiver role is
undeniable, the good news is that the Area
Office on Aging has gathered together the
best resources and speakers to be able to
support these family caregivers so they can
care longer. This selfless work of caring for
a loved one can be extremely stressful and
can eventually take a toll on the health of the
family caregiver, if the caregiver don’t make a
conscious effort to take care of oneself.
If you are caring for a loved one and would
like additional information on the Area Office on Aging’s Caregiver Expo, please contact us at www.areaofficeonaging.com or at

Invaders of Mars comes
to Lourdes’ Appold Planetarium
Robotic spacecraft are exploring Mars: digging into
the soil, targeting rocks
with lasers, sniffing the atmosphere, and sending
videos back to Earth. Audiences of all ages are invited to continue the exploration of Mars at the
Lourdes University Appold
Planetarium located in
Mother Adelaide Hall, 6832
Convent Blvd., in Sylvania.
Invaders of Mars takes
viewers on an exciting trip
to the red planet - deep into
canyons where water once
flowed, high above volcanoes, and turning around
polar ice caps. Join in the
latest discoveries from a
new generation of Mars
spacecraft and examine
the science (and science
fiction) surrounding Mars
and the quest to find water, and perhaps even life.
Admissions prices for Invaders of Mars are $5 for
adults and $4 for children
12 and under. The familyfriendly shows are offered
at 7:30 p.m. on the above

Deceitful Politicians Want Media to Ignore their Lies
By George E. Curry
George Curry Media
Columnist
Politicians and wouldbe politicians running
for president can’t have
it both ways: They can’t
filibuster while refusing
to answer direct questions during televised
debates and then complain about not having
enough time to talk.
Judging by the blatant
lies they told during the
recent CNBC debate,
they should have far
less time to talk. But
politicians being politicians, they know how
to play to the crowd
while droning on and
on with their carefully-crafted talking points
that are as stale as last
week’s fish dinner.
New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie and Senator
Ted Cruz of Texas who were also standing near the end of
the stage in the recent
CNBC debate, as I am
sure Donald Trump
noticed - inflamed the
Republican audience
by attacking the journalists for their selection of questions.
If these presidential
wannabes want to play
in the big leagues, they
should understand that
they don’t get to determine which questions
are asked of them.
By Lee A. Daniels

Two recent reports on
very different topics in
bly bad for women.
Ninety-two percent of
the jobs lost during
Barack Obama’s first
term belonged to
women.
It is the height of hypocrisy for Florina to
be such a brazen liar.
Granted, some of the
questions were tertiary, such as the one
about whether fantasy
football should be regulated, but at least
early in the debate,
the panel did a good
job keeping the candidates in check and
not letting them shout
“answers” at will. John
Harwood in particular
did a masterful job
not letting it become a
runaway train. For dramatic effect,
some candidates
looked directly at the
camera while lying
through their teeth.
Here are some of the
biggest whoopers on
a night of many whoppers, according to
FactCheck.org:
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Florina:
It is the height of hypocrisy for Mrs. Clinton
to talk about being the
first woman president,
when every single
policy she espouses,
and every single policy
of President Obama
has been demonstra-
FactCheck.org stated,
“And looking at the full
four years of Obama’s
first term, both men
and women gained
jobs. According to
the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, women
gained 416,000 jobs
in Obama’s first term
(about 32 percent of
the overall job gains).”
And the growth continued in Obama’s
second term.
Ted Cruz made a
similar claim: “Under
Barack Obama and
the big government
economy, the median
wage for women has
dropped $733.”
FactCheck.org: “Actually, the most recent
breakdown from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of median usual
weekly earnings of fulltime wage and salary
workers shows that
for women the figure
was $728 in the three
months ending Sept.
30, up from $647 in
the last three months
of 2008, just before
Obama first took office.
That’s an increase of
$81 per week.”
Donald Trump: “I
am the only person
in either campaign
that’s self-funding. I’m
putting up 100 percent
of my own money.”
Not true, according
to FactCheck.org:
“Trump has spent
about $1.9 million of
his own money running
for president, according to his October
quarterly report to the
Federal Election Commission. That includes
a $1.8 million loan to
his campaign, as well
as in-kind contributions
of nearly $104,000.
But his campaign has
spent more than $5.5
million to date, and the
majority of that has
come from campaign
donors.”
Dr. Ben Carson denied
any involvement with
Mannatech, a controversial nutritional supplement company.
Ben Carson: “I didn’t
have an involvement
with them. That is total
propaganda, and this
is what happens in
our society. Total propaganda.I did a couple
of speeches for them. I
do speeches for other
people. They were
paid speeches. It is absolutely absurd to say
that I had any kind of a
relationship with them.
Do I take the product?
Yes. I think it’s a good
product.”
The charges are more
than “propaganda.”
The researchers state,
“He admits to giving
paid speeches for the
company, but reports
by the Wall Street
Journal and the National Review have pointed
out other connections
as well going back at
least a decade. For
example, he participated in shooting several
videos with or about
the company; though
the Wall Street Journal
reported that Mannatech has removed
those videos from its
website, at least one
video remains on
YouTube as of this
writing in which Carson
touts the company’s
work and products.”
There was also this
exchange:
John Harwood: “The
Tax Foundation, which
was alluded to earlier,
scored your tax plan
and concluded that
you give nearly twice
as much of a gain in
after-tax income to
the top 1 percent as
to people in the middle
of the income scale.
Since you’re the champion of Americans
living paycheck-to-pay-
The GOP’s Willing Suspension of Belief
last week’s New York
Times tell us a great
deal about the terrible
state of today’s Republican Party - if we factor
in the psychological
those who run them.
Critics call them “scam
PACs.”

watching movies and
television and reading
fiction and science
fiction so enjoyable.
One news story examines the research
scientists from the
U.S. and other countries are conducting
on the melting of the
Greenland ice sheet.
The other describes
the recent appearance of some new
conservative political
action committees, or
PACs, whose apparent primary goal is
really only enriching
The device that unites
these stories in terms
of considering the
GOP is human beings’
willingness to suspend
disbelief. Usually, that
phrase refers to just
the offerings of the
entertainment industry - to accepting things
in the film comedy or
drama or novels that
we well know in real
life would range from
unlikely to impossible
because we just want
to enjoy ourselves.
But the Republican
Party has been reminding us for the
last seven years that
use of a willing suspension of disbelief
can, in real life, be a
political weapon with
very negative consequences - as illustrated
by these newspaper
articles. The headline
of the article on Greenland, a massive island
located largely above
the Artic Circle and 80
percent of which has
been covered in ice for
eons, fundamentally
tells the tale.
“Greenland is melting
away,” it declares. “Scientists are documenting that the island’s
ice sheet is losing
billions of tons of ice
per year because of
global warming. The
resulting release of
water into the Artic and
North Atlantic oceans
over the next several
decades will by the
end of the century help
raise sea levels around
the world, flooding
coastal regions and
cities “from New York
to Bangladesh.”
But, on the other hand,
don’t worry.

that backward?”
Marco Rubio: “No,
that’s - you’re wrong.
In fact, the largest after-tax gains is for the
people at the lower
end of the tax spectrum under my plan...”
But that wasn’t the
point. The question
was about the middle
class and on that
score, FactCheck.org
stated, “...That is what
the Tax Foundation
found.”
The Republican presidential candidates
don’t need any more
time to spread blatant
lies.

MONEY TALKS
The Dearth of Black Media Ownership - Blackonomics
By James Clingman
via George Curry
Media
In war, one of the first
things the enemy does
is destroy his adversary’s ability to communicate within its ranks.
Chaos likely ensues if
a fighting force cannot
communicate internally. Individual soldiers
end up doing their own
thing, left to their own
devices; they make decisions based on their
individual situations
and in their individual
interests.
This allows the enemy
to come in and pick
them off one by one,
using false information and propaganda
(Tokyo Rose), instilling
fear of being captured
or killed, or by making
the individual feel
abandoned and left
with no hope of victory.
If the ability to communicate is maintained
within a fighting force,
it strengthens the
group and provides
confidence, assurance, and cohesion.
Considering our penchant for soundbites,
140-character chirps,
and listening to great
speeches but not analyzing them and taking
appropriate action,
communication among
Black folks has largely
struggling from week
to week because Black
folks do not subscribe
nor do Black businesses buy ads to any large
degree.
been reduced to little
more than noise. And
it’s getting worse.
Black newspapers
used to be our main
communication organ,
but as the demand for
electronic access to
news has increased,
newspapers have
nearly become obsolete in some circles.
Books were also a
great source of communication because
they contain so much
knowledge written by
scholars, historians,
educators, and activists; but now we are so
intellectually lazy that
books have become
passé and just something to brag about
having on our bookshelves. Now we rely
on Twitter and Face
Book for our news.
Newspapers, radio, Internet, and television
are the four dominant
means of communications today. Black
people still own a few
hundred newspapers,
many of which are
Black ownership of
radio stations has
drastically decreased
in the past 20 years.
Aside from a couple
of great Black-owned
Internet wire services,
“Black oriented” sites
are not Black-owned;
and two of the three
longstanding Black
magazines, Essence
and Ebony, have been
reduced to fashion and
entertainment, leaving
Black Enterprise to
carry the load of informing Black folks on
economic issues. (I
don’t mean to overlook other Black periodicals; I know they
are out there getting
the word out as best
they can.)
Now let’s look at television.
According
to an article in TV
News Check, June
27, 2014, written
by Doug Halonen,
“Whites owned 1,070
full-power commercial
TV stations in 2013, up
14% from the 935 they
owned in 2011. Racial
minorities owned 41
of the U.S.’s 1,386
full-power commercial
TV stations in 2013, up
32% from the thirty-one
they owned in 2011 but only nine of those
stations were owned
by African Americans
during 2013, down
18% from the eleven
they owned two years
previously, according
to a study of station
ownership released
by the FCC...”
The FCC report also
found that “Asians
owned
nineteen
full-power TV stations
in 2013, up 73% from
the eleven they owned
in 2011. Hispanics or
Latinos owned forty-two full power TV
stations in 2013, up
8% from the thirty-nine
they owned in 2011.”
I guess I could end this
article right here, but
without application,
knowledge and information are without
effect. The obvious
point here is the necessity for Black people
to own more communications outlets in
order to control and
disseminate pertinent
information to Black
people. How? Establish syndicates that
could purchase more
outlets; form an alliance of affluent and
conscious Blacks to
purchase communications outlets and
produce programs to
empower rather than
dumb-down Black
people.
Increase support of
Black-owned media
and their advertisers
by Black consumers;
leverage the support
of Black readers, listeners, and viewers
of Black media by insisting on more than
just mind-numbing
idiotic portrayals of
Black folks. These
simple tactics could
strengthen our lines
of communications.
Accessibility, accountability, and acceptability are essential
elements to a strong
and relevant media
presence within Black
society. Our current
position in that game is
untenable and tenuous
at best. In light of the
fact that we have the
financial wherewithal,
collectively and individually, to purchase and
support media outlets,
it is intriguing how we
seem to have settled
for much less than we
need.
Most of us understand
and even admit we are
in a war, behind enemy
lines, and fighting for
respect and empowerment. That being
the case, why are we
content with having our
lines of communication
controlled by others?
If we are reluctant to
acquire more conscious media outlets,
the least we can do is
hold those who purport
to be “Black media” accountable by refusing
to accept the trashy
caricatures of Black
people and the negative portrayals of Black
life that bombard us
every day.
Without control of communications an army is
severely handicapped.
We had better get rid of
our negative channels
of communications,
shore up the positive
ones, and create more
of our own.

“We encourage any other minority who has
passed the test to contact us,” Sgt. Madison said.
Dericka Cunningham, 27, who has a degree in
criminal justice, told The Toledo Journal, “I’ve
always been about service. Being on the police
force is the perfect job for me.”
She further said that, the many people have a
misconception of police, and she looks forward
to serving the community, like many officers are
currently doing.
“I’m joining because I want to help make my
community safer,” said Daymien DeVaughn, 33,
who has a degree in applied health science. “I
want to make the city, and ultimately, the world
safer for my kids,” he said.
Hanna Kynard, 21, also has a desire to help make
the community safer. “I’m determined to make it
through the Police Academy, and I’m determined
to protect the community.”

Lamont Stewart’s Cetera Advisors, LLC
helping his clients to be savvy about their investments and financial future
For 19 years, Lamont
Stewart, owner of
Cetera Advisors LLC,
a financial and retirement planning enterprise, has been helping
people secure a better
financial future in the
realms of retirement,
investments, college
preparation, and much
more.
The Toledo native attended Libbey High
School, then the University of Toledo where
he earned his degree
in chemistry. He later
entered the engineering field but his heart
always existed in the
financial realm. He
eventually went back
to school and earned
a MBA in finance.
His business offers a
multitude of services
geared toward the financial success of his
clients. Some of those
services include small
business consulting,
investments in bonds,
and educational IRA’s,
financial planning for
retirement, and 401k,
insurance such as disability and long term
care, and tax planning
for individuals, and
businesses.
“I want my clients to
be just as savvy about
investments and financial planning as I am,”
he told The Toledo
Journal.
One particular service
Mr. Stewart really
tries to educate the
community about is
retirement. He said
that many businesses
are getting rid of pensions; therefore, it’s
up to the employee to
save and plan for his
or her retirement.
“I like to encourage
people to start saving
for their retirement
as soon as possible,
such as right after high
school. The earlier you
start to save, the better.
In order to live 20 or 30
years retired, you have
to start saving as soon
as you enter the work
force,” he stressed.
Mr. Stewart said that,
many retirees only live
off of a social security
check. It is approxi-

which, in many cases,
forces them to re-enter
the workforce in an occupation that requires
a lot of hours, with very
little or no benefits.
“If a retiree returns
to the workforce that
should be an option,
not a necessity. Due to
the fact many people
aren’t prepared for
retirement. Financial
literacy should be
mandatory starting in
elementary. We teach
our children about
every topic except financial literacy.”

their retirement, re-

Stewart said not to

all types of financial

Lourdes University Student Advocating for victims
Submitted by Lourdes
University
Jacqueline Lazo chose
her career path as a
young teenager and is
on the way to making
her dreams a reality.
After high school
graduation, the Los
Angeles, California
native attended a
local college; however
during her freshman year, she began
Google searching
small private colleges
and universities in the
Midwest and on the
East Coast. “I really
wanted to achieve
my Bachelor of Arts in
criminal justice on that
side of the country.
While my family and
I are extremely close,
it was important that
I was totally independent,” she says.
The intelligent and
determined student
chose to transfer in
her sophomore year
to Lourdes University,
a Catholic Franciscan institution in Sylvania, Ohio near the
Great Lakes region.
“It seemed like a
great place and once
I came for a campus
visit, I knew I would
enroll. The professors
and staff are fantastic,
and the small town
Midwest campus is
perfect.”
To complete her
degree,
Jackie
needed to complete
an internship, and she
was hoping to do so
with the Los Angeles
Police Department.
For several months in
2014, she continued
calling and leaving
messages at various
LAPD departments
but didn’t receive any
return calls. Then
her luck turned for
the better. Detective
Moses Castillo in
the Juvenile Division
Force contacted her.
The department had
internship openings
and she was welcome
to apply!
The feisty Latina followed all the tedious
steps – completing an
application; being fingerprinted and passing
a background check.
The process began
in December and
she finally received
approval in late April
2015. “I was elated
because now I could
return home and complete the internship. I
have wanted to be a
Los Angeles police
officer for so long. It is
important to me to advocate for victims. I am
committed to making a
difference,” she says.
Interning with the
Los Angeles Police
Department
Jackie could not have
asked for a more
complete internship
experience. Her first
day on the job, she
couldn’t park nearby
due to a movie being
filmed in the area. “I
decided to park and
pay in a metered spot
and thought for sure I
would be ok. It turns
out I parked in a spot
that doesn’t allow
parking at that time of
the day. So at the end
of the shift, I found my
car had been towed. I
definitely learned my
lesson,” she says with
an infectious smile.
Her first week of the
month-long internship
included completing
firearms operating
system training which
taught her and fellow
interns when and how
to properly use pepper
spray. They also
learned through simulation scenarios when
it was justified to use
deadly force including
a live active shooter on
campus session. Other
opportunities included
working at a golf fundraiser for victims, reviewing open case files
and working directly
with victims of sexual
abuse.
Detective Castillo was
so impressed with
Jackie’s determination,
professionalism and
communication skills
that he encouraged
her to apply at the
LAPD Academy and
to eventually work in
the Juvenile Division
Force where she had
already made such a
positive impact. “He
shared with me that
more female police
officers and detectives
are needed in this division and he believed
I could successfully
achieve my goals,”
she says.
Jackie has now set her
sights on applying to
and getting accepted
into the Los Angeles
Police Department
Academy. With a
proven track record
as an intern and her
impending bachelor’s
degree in May 2015,
her future looks bright
indeed.

Josh Project awarded $45,000 grant from the State of Ohio
When it comes to
drowning deaths in
the State of Ohio, the
rate of dying for African
American children are
2.5 times higher than
whites, according to
the Ohio Department
of Public Safety.
Yet, other statistics
have the same demographic dying at a
rate five times higher
than whites. No matter
which stat is the most
accurate, one thing
is for certain, African
American children are
dying from drowning
at a much higher rate
than white children.
One local popular organization, The Josh
Project, has an objective to reduce, if
not eliminate, those
deaths by taking preventive measures
such as teaching
children, and adults,
how to swim. The last
Monday in October,
on the University of
Toledo’s Scott Park
Campus, and in front
of representatives from
the state, the organization was awarded a
$45,000 grant from the
State of Ohio. Officials
in The Josh Project
said that the money will
help them continue its
objective of teaching
swimming lessons and
water safety classes.
Founder of The Josh
Project, Wanda Butts,
told The Toledo Journal
how grateful she was
for the grant money.
“Everyone needs to
know what to do in and
around water. Often,
children go to pools
and don’t know how to
be safe around water.”
On August 6, 2006, Ms.
Butts lost her 16 year
son Josh in a drowning
death. Since then, she
has been motivated at
making sure no parent
experiences what she
had to endure.
“I always say, if
someone would’ve
told me, when my son
was younger what I
needed to do to keep
him safe around water,
maybe he would be
alive today,” she told
those at the press
conference.
Tankeeya Butts, executive director of The
Josh Project, as well as
the daughter of Wanda
Butts said the money
will help them continue teaching swimming
lessons and holding
water safety classes.
“This is a real push at
helping us continue
our efforts,” she said.
One of the projects
Tankeeya Butts wishes
to continue is a pilot
program they had
with Martin Luther King
Academy for Boys.
The program taught
boys how to swim, as
well as how to safely
navigate around water.
She said that, they
would like to expand
the program to other

HEALTHY AWARENESS
Racism Linked to Asthma
Risk for Black Women
By Tom Testa Special to the Trice
Edney News Wire from
NorthStarNewsToday.com
( Tr i c e E d n e y W i r e .
com) - African-American women who have
frequent experiences with racism are at
greater risk of developing asthma as adults,
according to a study
published in 2013.
A new study published
online in the journal
Chest, followed 38,142
African-American
women, all of whom
are participants in
the Black Women’s
Health Study (BWHS)
between 1997 and
2011. The women
completed health
questionnaires every
two years.
In 1997 and 2009
they provided information about their experiences of “everyday” racism, like poor
service in stores or
restaurants, and “lifetime” racism, which
was discrimination
encountered on the
job, in housing, and
by police.
What You Should Know about
Adult Protective Services
Submitted by Law You
Can Use: Consumer
Information Column
Q: What are “adult
protective services”?
As experiences of
everyday and lifetime
racism increased, the
incidence of adult-onset asthma also rose,
up to a 45 percent increase in women in the
highest compared to
the lowest category of
the racism measures.
Furthermore, the incidence of asthma was
increased even more
in women who were in
the highest category
of everyday racism in
both 1997 and 2009,
and who may have had
more consistent experiences of racism over
time. “Racism is a significant stressor in the
lives of African-American women, and our
results contribute to a
growing body of evidence indicating that
experiences of racism
can have adverse
effects on health,”
says Patricia Coogan,
research professor
of epidemiology at
Boston University.
The hypothesized
mechanism linking
experiences of racism
to asthma incidence is
stress and its physiological consequences,
particularly effects on
the immune system
and the airways.
“Given the high prevalence of both asthma
and of experiences of
racism in African Americans, the association
is of public health importance,” Coonan
says. Funding was
provided by the National Institute of Health’s
National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute and
the National Cancer
Institute.
A: “Adult protective
services” are services
provided to help vulnerable older adults
who have no one to
assist them. In Ohio,
the Ohio Department
of Job and Family Services supervises the
adult protective services (APS) program,
which is administered
through each county’s
department of job and
family services.
Q: Who is eligible to
receive services from
an adult protective
services program?
A: Recipients of services must be over the
age of 60. They must
also be in danger of
harm, unable to protect
themselves, and have
no one to assist them.
Q: What sort of
“harm” must the
person be in danger
of experiencing in
order to get services?
A: “Danger of harm”
refers to actual or
suspected neglect,
abuse or exploitation.
”Neglect” is failure to
provide the goods or
services necessary for
the adult’s own safety
and/or well-being,
whether as a result of
a caregiver’s failure
or the adult’s own
failure. ”Abuse” can
be physical, emotional or sexual. ”Physical
abuse” is an intentional
use of physical force
that results in pain,
injury or impairment.
”Emotional abuse” is
any action intending
to threaten, humiliate,
intimidate or otherwise
cause psychological
injury, and includes violating an adult’s loss
of privacy and ability
to make his or her own
decisions. ”Sexual
abuse” is any unwanted, nonconsensual
sexual contact, and
includes rape, coerced
nudity, exhibitionism as
well as other sexual
situations that may not
involve touching. ”Exploitation” is the unlawful or improper use of
someone’s resources
for monetary or personal benefit, profit or
gain. This most often
includes taking the victim’s money without his
or her consent.
Q: What if I am not
sure whether an
adult is suffering
from neglect, abuse
or exploitation?
A: Even if you are
not certain or have
no specific evidence
that an adult is suffering from neglect,
abuse or exploitation,
you should still report
your suspicions to the
adult protective services program of your
county’s job and family
services department. It
is the program’s duty
to investigate actual
or suspected neglect,
abuse or exploitation,
and a caseworker will
be sent out to personally meet with the adult
and complete an assessment to determine
if neglect, abuse or exploitation is occurring.
If so, the department
will take the appropriate action to obtain
protective services for
that adult.
Q: How can I keep my
name out of the adult
protective services
investigation?
A: Under Ohio law, all
reports and investigations of suspected or
actual neglect, abuse
or exploitation of an
adult over age 60 are
kept confidential.
Q: I believe my neighbor, who is more than
60 years old and
infirm, may be suffering abuse from a family
member. Where would
I find an adult protective services program
in my area so I can
report my suspicions?
A: Contact your local
county department of
job and family services
in the county where
the elderly adult lives
or where you suspect
the abuse has occurred. To find the
phone number and
location of the county
agency in your area,
go to http://jfs.ohio.

Directory.pdf. During
non-business hours or
in an emergency, you
should contact local
law enforcement.

But what the appeals
don’t say, according to
the Times, is that the
donations’ “ultimate
beneficiaries, records
suggest, are the consultants who created
the campaigns rather
than the causes they
are promoting.” It
appears that, generally
speaking, less than 10
percent of the millions
of dollars these PACs
raise go to the politicians or the causes
they claim to support.
Both are partly a manifestation of a willing
suspension of disbelief: On the one hand,
the willingness to disbelieve the overwhelming weight of scientific
evidence about the climactic danger facing
humanity. And, on the
other, the willingness
to disbelieve that they
could not and would

the man who rose to

to the necessity of

makes some significant number of GOP

get me wrong, she’s brilliant (and beautiful) and
you can learn a lot just
watching her creativity,
but I just don’t know how
long I can take her attitude. I mean, I love this
dream job because it allows you to meet celebrities and the Who’s Who
of our community, and
truthfully I don’t want to
just walk away. Alma!
What do I do, how can I
put up with this diva? She
is driving me cra-cra!
Signed: Save me from the
Crazy CEO
Alma Gill
Hello Sweet Pea,
Since there’s a little
diva in us all, I’m sure you
can handle this hurdle for
a minute. Let me stop
right here, cause I’ve just
gotta say, your situation
reminds me of the movie,
“The Devil Wears Prada,”
LOL, and presents the dilemma - do you wanna
save your sole or your
soul? Ok, that was stale,
I know, let’s keep it moving.
Landing your dream
job is the greatest. When
you finally arrive, you’re
totally consumed by it,
losing all track of time and
space. When you love
what you do, you’d literally do it for free, so let’s
be thankful for that part of
your blessing up front. My
advice is to stick it out for
the next 6-12 months,
then reconsider new options.
Your Horoscope
Aries
You have the perfect
storm this week, with the
last opposition between
work and more laid back
forces coming to a head
midweek, just as Venus
and Mars are determined
to get things moving on
the work front. With both
leaving next week, Venus
and Mars align to put your
heart, passions and fighting spirit on the same
page, determined to fight
for what you want. Yet one
last push to slow things
down might appear to be
an effort to thwart your
process and even take
the wind out of your sails,
but in reality is a reminder
that you’re in this for the
long haul. In front of you
lay some of the best professional months in decades, with working
smarter a must. This is
also a week for having
your head in the game financially and for keeping
the communication lines
open on the relationship
front.
Taurus
Mercury’s departure
from your work sector on
Monday brings his epic
visit to an end, while let-
ting things settle until Venus and Mars return next
week to take over. In the
meantime, with Ceres
spending her first full
week back in your career
sector and the North
Node its last full week in
your work sector, this is a
chance to stand back and
on both the work and career fronts get your bearings. This gives you a
chance to give your relationships some much
needed attention, for unlike the over 2 months he
spent in your work sector,
Mercury’s return to your
relationship sector on
Monday gives you just 19
days to get the communication lines open. In the
meantime, your romantic
and creative desires, passions and fighting spirit
move to a whole new
level, ready to fight anything in your way.
Gemini
While it might seem to
be a case of another
week, another round of
work/life balance tension,
this is the opposition between home and professional forces before more
permanent solutions are
found to maintain the right
Don’t get wrapped up
in the feelings, it’s a job,
not a marriage. You’re still
young, focus on the task
at hand and what it’s adding to your career. Submerge your attention in
the duties, not the diva.
When she ruffles your
feathers, remind yourself,
she’s leading you towards
an
oasis
of
opportunity. Every great
position has some drawbacks. Smooth mountains aren’t scalable; you
need the rough sides to
hold on too, gain your
footing and propel yourself
to
the
next
level. You’ve got this girl,
you’ve prepared for this
moment. All of what you
learn and the contacts
you’ll create along the
way, make it well worth
the sacrifice and journey.
Respect, admire, and absorb all you can from this
diva, you’ll one day say
you defeated. While looking back on this big adventure years from now,
reminiscing with more
smiles and hallelujahs
than tears, I’m sure.

balance, something that
will happen later next
week. In the meantime,
with the domestic and
professional gods at
odds, there’s a chance to
address things once and
for all, aware that this is
being forced on you by
benevolent forces. With
Mercury joining the Sun in
your work sector on Monday and a turnaround on
the professional front over
the course of the month,
life is set to become
busier, while at the same
time your home and family matters become more
important. You can have
it all, with the coming
weeks all about finding a
balance between work
and play.
Cancer
With Venus and Mars
spending their last full
week in your communication sector, communication becomes even more
important this week, at the
same time that there may
be some roadblocks, frustrations or barriers. Yet
there is just enough pressure to push for a communication breakthrough
that you’ll get to benefit
from. With Ceres’ departure from your relationship sector last week having left you with a clear
sense of what you want

tell them you love them.

it one more time.
Question 1)
Dear Dr. Sam, is it
possible to run out of options in life? (Todd, 56)
Answer)
Todd, the answer is
yes. Now let me explain.
There are always options
in any situation but there
comes a point where
some options will not be
available because of time,
circumstances, or situations. When you have options use wisdom in
choosing which option is
right for you. Todd, always
remember whatever you
are trying to do it with purpose in mind.
Question 2)
Dear Dr. Sam, my husband and I are separated
at the time but we still love
each other. Him and I
have been talking and
working on our situation
but I am nervous about
us. I want to work it out but
am scared. What should I
do? (Delores, 43)
Dear Delores, I think
you have been doing a
great job taking it one day
at a time. It’s normal to be
nervous in situations like
this. If you guys love each
other and are willing to put
the time and work into it
you should try it one more
time, just take it one day
at a time.

Venus and Mars are
not only both spending
their last full week in your
income sector they’re
aligned until midweek,
ready to turn any financial
tension into motivation
and a new sense of determination. Thanks to
last week’s Full Moon in
your career sector and
the intentions Ceres left
you with when she left
your work sector, this has
given the rest of your pro-
fessional year a push and
a clear sense of direction.
While Venus and Mars
aren’t connected with the
financial tensions that
once more come to a
head, they’re able to use
it as leverage as they
work to smash as many
glass ceilings as possible

always on home and family matters they gain a
voice and an intellectually
savvy edge.

Critical Time Intervention (CTI) is a structured program that provides supports to people who are homeless during and after a transition to community living
from a shelter, hospital or other institutional setting.
CTI Team members must be flexible and creative as
well as comfortable working primarily in the community. At the same time, they must be committed to
following a focused model of care.
The program’s primary initiative is to locate and connect people to adequate, affordable housing units,
and provide support as they transition from a homeless setting to a new residence. Linkages to mental
health services, collaboration with community providers, and development of natural support systems
are additional supports provided by CTI. During this
critical time, CTI monitors and assesses these supports to ensure their effectiveness in maintaining an
individual’s new residence and breaking the cycle of
homelessness. This includes gaining access to benefits and competitive employment.
Work activities include: assist with street/shelter outreach; assist consumers in making critical transitions
in their lives; assist consumers in creating linkages
to long term community supports; assess and evaluate consumer strengths and needs; work with other
CTI fieldworkers in a team approach; work in the
consumer’s community; mediate and advocate on
behalf of consumers to help them obtain and maintain housing, health care, benefits, entitlements, and
transportation; and monitor, record & track service
delivery.

ity, with the scene set for not only an important week
for both personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building, but the week where everything until now has lead up to and everything from
now will lead on from. There might be times when this
gets a little too much, where too many meetings, too
many catch ups, too many people to talk and interact
with has you craving those moments where you can
put out the ‘do not disturb’ sign. While you might be
tempted to pull out the excuse card and excuse yourself from something you’ve already promised you’d
show up for or comes together spontaneously, the advice is not to. You never know what encounter will prove
fortuitous, with plenty of time next week to pull things
back.
Sagittarius
After last week’s Full Moon in your work sector you
might expect the professional gods to ease back, but
instead this is the week that everything until now has
lead up to and everything from now will lead on from.
At the same time that Venus and Mars not only spend
their last full week in your career sector but spend the
early days of the week aligned, this will also see the
final major clash between your home and professional
lives play out. The aim is, by the time the South Node
returns to your home and family sector and the North
Node to your career sector next week, where they’ll
take up a position they’ll maintain until mid 2017, that
you’re as committed to work/life balance as the gods
are. The professional conditions ahead are the best in
35 years, with the right balance essential.
Capricorn
With Mercury leaving your career sector on Monday but Venus and Mars not returning until next week,
there won’t so much be a chance to take your professional hat off but more a chance to step back and focus on the big picture. As the North Node spends its
last full week in your career sector for another 17 years,
this is a chance to focus more on gaining a clear sense
of direction. While Venus and Mars will kick things into
high gear on the career front next week, for now they’re
encouraging you to make the most of their last full week
in an adventurous part of your chart. While Venus fuels a desire for adventure Mars is fuelling a passion
for adventure and a hunger for life’s richer experiences.
In the meantime, you’ve reached a good week for personal and professional networking.
Aquarius
Any financial tension that comes to a head as a
result of one last standoff between income and financial forces will not only be balanced by Venus and Mars’
alignment in your financial sector, but provides the professional confidence and motivation needed to turn this
into an opportunity for a breakthrough. With your financial desires, passions and fighting spirit engaged
and Mercury returning to your career sector on Monday, in time to support income forces, as forces clash
for one last time you’re able to appreciate that what
you have isn’t duelling challenges, but duelling opportunities. With a turnaround on the income front over
the coming weeks and some stunning career developments over the coming months, this is something to

Pisces
Where there is no doubt that this week is a case of
‘another week, another round of personal and/or relationship tensions’ and this time it might cut deep, there
is also the potential for a real breakthrough. The final
of ten oppositions over a course of nearly 3 months
plays out this week as Jupiter, the largest planet in the
solar system, moves into opposition with Chiron, planet
of healing and one of the smallest, in his final weeks in
retrograde motion in your sign. Yet this is not only an
opportunity to lay some old ghosts to rest, there’s a
chance for a major breakthrough. Yet it’s not just a better balance between your personal and relationship
needs that is coming into line, but between financial
and money forces as well, with a call for balance across
the board.
Music has charms
Provided By The Association of Mature American Citizens
as a service on issues of concern to Americans over 50.
A new study concludes that belting out show tunes
improves brain health, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens.
Researchers at Virginia’s George Mason University chose an elder care facility with a focus on patients with moderate to severe dementia. One group
of patients was designated as “listeners” and another
actually got together and performed song from such
musicals as The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music
and Oklahoma. Before-and-after tests showed cognitive improvement among the singers. Apparently the
listeners derived no benefits.
Neuroscientist Jane Flinn told London’s Guardian
newspaper that: “Even when people are in the fairly
advanced stages of dementia, when it is so advanced
they are in a secure ward, singing sessions were still
helpful. The message is: don’t give up on these
people. You need to be doing things that engage them,
and singing is cheap, easy and engaging.”
