Community in Outrage Over Handling of Eric Garner Police Killing
By A.B. Nickerson, Special to the NNPA from the
New York Amsterdam News
When a white police officer kills an unarmed Black
man, as it happened last week on Staten Island, you can
expect a furious outrage from one part of the community
and an attempt to justify the death from the other side.
It’s a no-win situation, especially for Eric Garner,
who was manhandled and then taken down in a chokehold
last Thursday outside a store in Tompkinsville. According
to police, they were called to the scene by shop owners
complaining that Garner, 43, a father of six children, was
selling loose cigarettes, thereby hindering their sales and
profit.
When the undercover officers arrived to apprehend
Garner, he tried to explain to them that he had done nothing
wrong. You can hear and see him on a video pleading with
the officers, who may have at first hesitated handcuffing
him until they had backup.
In the meantime, one of the officers, Daniel Pantaleo,
eased behind Garner and locked his neck in a chokehold.
The two tumbled to the pavement as other officers rushed
to hold him down, one of them smashing his head into the
cement.
“I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!” Garner cries out,
but to no avail.
Garner, more than 6 feet tall and weighing more than
300 pounds, and an asthmatic, was finally subdued, his
breathing labored.
He was apparently still alive when the EMT workers
arrived, but other than feel to see if he still had a pulse, they
did nothing to assist him. Garner could have possibly been
saved if he had been placed in an upright position, claimed Dr.
Cyril Wecht, a noted pathologist. “You want to position him in
a way to facilitate breathing,” Wecht told the press.

Week of Celebration for the Community
Columbus, GA--Church’s Chicken has recently
renovated all of its restaurants in the Columbus, GA
area, unveiling a new contemporary exterior and
interior appearance. The restaurants feature an
entirely new look for the company, including a new
color palette and yellow awnings adorned with
Church’s iconic star image as seen in its logo. The
interior of the restaurants have varied seating
options including logo-branded booths and new artwork which showcases the rich history of the brand.
In addition, new interior digital menu boards bring
Church’s menu products to life with beautiful food
images and video.
The Columbus market was selected by
Church’s Chicken to be one of the first cities in the
country to undergo a complete restaurant renovation
program. Initial customer feedback to the changes
has been very favorable. “We would like to thank
our customers for their patience, support and
encouragement during our transition to the updated
design,” said Mark Snyder, EVP, Global Chief
Marketing Officer at Church’s Chicken. “We know
that Columbus loves chicken and we are thrilled that
the Ledger-Enquirer named Church’s Chicken the
‘Best Fried Chicken in Town’ Readers Choice
Awards winner. We are as passionate about our renovated restaurants as we are about our world famous
fried chicken and can’t wait to welcome our customers back through our doors.”
In celebration of Church’s newly updated
restaurants, Church’s invites customers to visit the
locations at 1821 South Lumpkin Road, 1306 US
280 By-Pass, 4256 Buena Vista Road and 1805
Hamilton Road from Sunday, August 3 through
Saturday, August 9 for the chance to win a pair of
Beats Headphones, a $100 Walmart gift card and a
free 2 piece mixed chicken and biscuit meal every
week for the rest of 2014. During the same time period, all Church’s Chicken restaurants in Columbus are
showing their appreciation and love for their guests
with a great value offer in which guests can purchase 8
pieces of mixed chicken for only $6.99 or 2 pieces of
mixed chicken for only $1.99.
Additionally, Church’s will donate a portion of its
proceeds from the Celebration week to the House of
Heroes™ organization. The non-profit group serves the
nation’s military and public safety veterans and their
families in the Muscogee County area who are disabled, living on a fixed income, or facing other physical and financial challenges. Volunteers perform minor
repairs and make improvements to the homes of veterans at no cost to the veteran through the generosity of
individuals, civic organizations and corporations such
as Church’s Chicken.

Community in Outrage Over Handling of
Eric Garner Police Killing
Editorials & Opinions
By Carol Gertjegerdes
What Are The Good Old Days?
What are the good old days? Those of us who are senior citizens remember a
time when people could walk the streets without the danger of being attacked.
These were the days when men were gentlemen—it was a given for a man to open
the door for ladies, to escort her to the seat, take his hat off when he entered a
building, giving up his seat when an elderly person enters the room or facility,
speak to be heard and use the best language.
When some persons think of the good old days, how they grew up may be
entirely different from where others grew up. For example, I was born in New York
City and how I grew up was different than my cousins in Washington, D.C. or my
sisters in Columbus, GA.
Since the United States of America has men and women from around the
globe, those of us who were born here have an entirely different story about our
childhood than some of the men and women who emigrated from other countries.
Some people came to these shores with literally only the shirt on their back, a pair
of slacks, underwear, shoes and socks. Some had less than that and because of their
determination, they reached our shores safely.
Now, when some think back to their childhood, they may have been the victims of racism, violence and discrimination. Certainly, these memories are ones
that some would rather forget. I was a person that experienced discrimination and it
was not pleasant. When someone is a victim, the memory would rather be forgotten.
What about the convenience we have today? Did we have these sophisticated
items such as an IPhone, I Pad or computer. And the computers we have today can
be carried in a case. On something as handy as the IPhone, we can get all types of
apps and even watch movies.
One very important fact about the good old days, the morals were taken more
seriously than they are today. The open arrangement that some have and the display of inappropriate behavior would not have happened 50 years ago. There was
something good in the “good old days.”
However, since we now live in the twenty-first century, we can appreciate
some of the positive in our lives and as we think back to when we were younger
(some of us are in our 70’s, 80’s and 90’s), things were different and we can reflect
on good memories and what we appreciate in life these days.
Hats Off to the City of Columbus and read about the Open House Public
Meetings they are having-August 18, August 19 and August 21.
So Hats Off to the city of Columbus and we appreciate having the message in
the pages of our newspaper.
Remember to smile, smile, smile! We all have challenges as we live our lives
on this plant Earth, and yet, there are some of us who look for the positive and do
the very best we can. Let’s surround ourselves with positive individuals who are
encouraging and look for the best.
We welcome all visits (The Columbus Times Newspaper, 2230 Buena Vista
Road, Columbus, GA (blue and white building), M-F, 10-5 p.m., by appointment,
but not necessary); calls (706) 324.2404; emails ([email protected],
[email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]); faxes (706.596.0657); and correspondence (The Columbus Times
Newspaper, P.O. Box 2845, Columbus, GA 31902-2845.)
Thought for the Week: The thought for the week is always taken from the
Holy Bible. In James 1:19, it says: “Know this, my beloved brothers, Everyone
must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.” `There is so much wisdom
in this statement. As a parent and grandparent, it makes sense to listen to the
young ones before making any hasty decisions. The scripture is encouraging skillful communication and a good listener knows what words to use at the proper time
without being offensive.
Anniversary congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Irving Jules. Also Anniversary
greetings to Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson. Seen visiting Columbus was Mr. Jose
Muniz. Many thanks to all of the organizations and individuals who gave away
school supplies during the months of July and August. This gesture is always
appreciated and as the grandmother of seven of my eight grandchildren who are in
school, the savings on the family budget is tremendous.
From Page 1
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, at a press conference last Friday, said that
Garner was taken from the scene in an ambulance and died upon arrival at the
Staten Island Hospital, a victim of cardiac arrest.
Garner is the latest victim of an apparent chokehold and, according to the
Civilian Complaint Review Board, there have been more than a thousand such
reports since 2009, but only nine have been substantiated, and only one resulted in
punitive measures being ordered.
Those four EMT workers have been placed on modified duty with a suspension of pay.
Two of the NYPD officers are now on desk assignment, with Pantaleo stripped
of his badge and gun pending further investigation.
Early reports from the medical examiner indicate that Garner did not suffer any
trauma to his trachea or windpipe. Even so, the forcible takedown of a man suffering from obesity, asthma and possibly heart disease could have been enough to
induce a heart attack.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who delayed his trip to Italy by one day, told the press
that “we shouldn’t jump to conclusions,” though the video that can be seen on
YouTube shows clearly what happened. Meanwhile, for Bratton to cite Garner’s
arrest record before offering his condolences seemed inappropriate.
“Even if police procedures don’t kick in,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton during a
sermon last Sunday at Riverside Church, referring to the fact that chokeholds have
been outlawed by NYPD since 1982, “when does your sense of humanity kick in?
Have we gotten that cold?”
Georgia NAACP Declares Energy as a
Civil Rights Issue
(Atlanta, GA) – The Georgia NAACP has released a new report that assesses
energy policy in the State of Georgia from a civil rights lens. Titled “Just Energy
Policies: Reducing Pollution and Creating Jobs - Georgia Report”, the report provides analysis of Georgia’s energy sector policies based on environmental, human
health and economic impacts and lays a path for preserving the well-being of community while creating economic enterprise opportunities. For a copy of the report,
please contact: Demetrius Fisher, [email protected].
"We are stewards of a sacred trust for future generations. If we fail to protect,
sustain, and manage the environment, our children's children will ask us how we
squandered their inheritance. Carbon pollution is a serious problem for Georgia and
we need to take action now. The Georgia NAACP supports the Clean Power Plan
and will continue to monitor the state’s largest polluters and ensure toxic pollution
doesn't end up in the neighborhoods with the least power to say no," said Dr. Francys
Johnson, President, Georgia NAACP.
Founded in 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. The
Georgia NAACP has had an unbroken presence in Georgia since 1917. The Georgia
NAACP maintains a network of branches throughout Georgia, from cities to small
rural counties. The Georgia NAACP has been the most effective and consistent
advocates for civil and human rights in Georgia. The NAACP’s half-million adult
and youth members throughout the United States and the world are the premier
advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and
monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

Mr. Eddie Hollingsworth
Speaks at Luncheon
THE COLUMBUS TIMES NEWSPAPER, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6-TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2014-5
Understanding The Road to
Financial Responsibility
Raising Financial Savvy Kids
“Grandma, I want that!” “Dad, can I get this?” “Why can’t I just get
a new one?” Have you ever heard your grandchild or child utter
those words? Or maybe you have heard someone else’s child
complaining as you rolled by with your little one in the stroller
thinking, “That isn’t going to happen to me.” Well, you are right, it
doesn’t have to happen to you if you work to help your children
understand how to be financially savvy at a young age.
Children typically learn from observation and imitation than through
any other method. So, as you do your best to make sound financial
decisions, they will see, and often emulate, your commitment to fiscal
responsibility. Outside of being an example for our children,
however, you can begin talking to them about fiscal responsibility at
any time. But, once you decide it is time to start teaching, what
should you emphasize?
Columbus, GA -- Mr. Eddie Hollingsworth will
be a special guest on August 30, 2014 at the Spencer
High School Teachers’ Appreciation Luncheon. Mr.
Hollingsworth taught Social Studies at Spencer during
the 1960’s. He was the head basketball coach for
numerous successful teams and an assistant football
coach under the late Mr. Odis Spencer. Mr.
Hollingsworth now devides his time between Destin,
Florida and Columbus, Georgia.
Who: Educators that taught at Spencer High
prior to 1972
What: A luncheon in their honor
When: August 30, 2014 at 11:30am
Where: The Cunningham Center, Columbus
State University; 3100 Gentian Boulevard; Columbus,
GA 31904
Stroke and Osteoporosis
Screenings Coming to
Columbus, Georgia
Columbus, Georgia – Residents living in and
around the Columbus, Georgia community can be
screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone
fracture. Morningside Presbyterian Church will host
Life Line Screening on 8/20/2014. The site is located
at 4142 Weems Road in Columbus. Thomas Abbott of
Marietta, GA attended a Life Line Screening and said,
"I do want to thank you and your team for saving my
life".
Four key points every person needs to know:
• Stroke is the third leading cause of death and
a leading cause of permanent disability
• 80% of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke
• Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you
avoid a stroke
• Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless,
affordable and convenient
Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart
rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of
the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of
heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both
men and women.
Packages start at $149. All five screenings take
60-90 minutes to complete. For more information
regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit our website at
www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is
required.
Lesson #1: Understand the difference between "wants" and
"needs." While this may be a different discussion depending on your
station in life, it is important for your child to understand that not
everything he or she "wants" to have is needed. For example, you
can make the case that food is a "need," but candy is more of a "want"
even though it is considered "food." As children get older, the lines
get more difficult to teach, so be sure to make this a focal point when
your children are young. Acquiring "wants" is nice here and there,
but only after needs are met, and there is money available to do so.
Lesson #2: Money has value. One of the first lessons to teach
children is that money has value. Whether you have millions of
them, or only a few, one dollar is one dollar. It has the same
purchasing potential regardless of who is holding it. As children
learn that money has value, you can further that discussion by
explaining how they can acquire things they need and want buy using
money.
Lesson #3: Patience is an important virtue when it comes to
money matters. Exercising patience is another virtue that can pay dividends when teaching your children about how to be
responsible with money. While it is enticing (and easy) to purchase a "want" right now, it is not always the best move. For
example, is buying the newest technology in cell phones the first day it becomes available a fiscally savvy move? Probably not,
because when the technology is new, it typically costs more. However, if you are willing to be patient and wait six months or a
year before you purchase that technology, you will save money while still enjoying the same technology.
Lesson #4: Providing an allowance. Using an allowance is a method many parents use to teach their children about money;
however, this can be a helpful or harmful endeavor depending how you go about it. If money has value, and you intend to give
your child an allowance, it would be consistent with your earlier message to require some effort in order for your child to earn the
allowance. Moreover, if the allowance is earned by your child for the accomplishment of some work or task, be sure you do not
interfere with that transaction by adding variables to it. For example, if you want to teach the concept that "work equals money,"
then teach that lesson. If you want to teach lessons about behavior, grades or some other issue, and you add that to the "work
equals money lesson," you may create some confusion with your child. While it can get complicated, using the allowance system
can be a big help in helping your child understand not only the value of money, but also the concept of working to earn money.
Lesson #5: Allow them to make final decisions. An important lesson in teaching your children how to be fiscally responsible
is to allow them to make final decisions with their money. One of the more difficult parts of teaching is when it is time to take a
step back and watch your children implement what you have taught them. So, when your child asks for something, you can
simply respond with the statement, "It's your money." The child then has to make the final decision with how he or she is going
to spend it.
At Citizens Trust Bank, we have programs in place to support your efforts to help kids to become more fiscally responsible and
financially successful. Visit the Citizens Trust Bank Columbus financial center location at 3172 Macon Road, mention this

MAYOR TOMLINSON AND GEORGIA DOT BOARD MEMBER SAM WELLBORN
JOIN KNIGHT FOUNDATION “CIVIC INNOVATORS” IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
The Knight Foundation has extended invitations to
Mayor Teresa Tomlinson and Georgia Department of
Transportation Board member Sam Wellborn, both of
Columbus, Georgia to join a group of “Civic Innovators”
from nine U.S. cities on an all-expense paid trip to
Copenhagen, Denmark, one of the world’s “most livable
cities.” The trip will take place from August 23-29, 2014
and will study building more livable, sustainable and
engaged cities. The trip will include a master class at the
Copenhagen studio of Gehl Architects, meetings and tours
with Copenhagen public officials and a side trip to Malmo,
Sweden, to explore its transformation from an industrial port
city to a burgeoning high-tech economy. Participants will be
challenged to address how these best practices may be adapted to improve their own communities.
In the 1970s, Copenhagen was just another major metropolitan area starting to choke on its own suburban commuter traffic; now it’s one of the most walkable, bikeable
cities in the world with strong public transportation infrastructure, vibrant downtown businesses and engaged, enthusiastic residents. The Copenhagen study trip was offered
through a competitive process to Knight Community representatives who attended “The Doable City” forum in
Chicago earlier this summer, wherein leaders discussed the
latest on how to make their cities more usable and comfortable for citizens ages 8 to 80.
“As the local liaison to the Knight Foundation, the
Community Foundation partners with civic leaders to foster
an informed, engaged community,” commented Betsy
Covington, president and CEO of the Community
Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley. “Knight is particularly interested in how cities increase economic mobility for
their citizens and better attract and retain workforce talent
through proven transportation planning techniques. When the
Community Foundation saw the opportunity to apply for
Columbus representation on the Copenhagen study trip, I

Be Aware of the Microsoft Support Scam
By the Better Business Bureau
Columbus, Georgia – August 5, 2014 – BBB has
received several complaints from consumers who
received phone calls from individuals who state that
they are Microsoft Support employees. They “alert”
the victim that their computer is uploading viruses to
the server. They wish for you to provide them with
your computer information so that they can remotely
access it and get rid of the problem for you.
Sometimes they will even ask you to go to a website,
such as www.win32.us, as “proof” of their legitimacy.
Of course, nothing can be further from the truth.
This is the return of an old scam. The scammers are
trying to get you to provide them with access to your
computer so that they can get hold of all your private
information located on your hard drive (such as saved
documents, scans, pictures, etc.) and possibly even
logins and passwords to various sites that you might
be storing there as well.
If you receive a phone call such as this, BBB
advises you to:
Hang up immediately
Do not try to call the number back
Do not provide any information which will allow
the caller remote access to your computer
Oftentimes a simple internet search about the
nature of the call will bring a wealth of information
and alert you to it being a scam
Contact your local BBB for assistance
If you have allowed the caller remote access,
immediately get in touch with your banking institutions, check your credit, change passwords, and take
any other steps necessary to mitigate the fallout

Photos by Linda Ryder
By Carol Gertjegerdes
Columbus, GA – In celebration of their 10th
Anniversary, SaMarc Dream
and Achieve Foundation held
their special banquet Salute to
the Legends on Tuesday, July
29, 2014 at the Rivermill in the
city. This year’s Legends are:
Mrs. Florence Bellamy, Mr.
Troy Woods, Georgia State
Senator Ed Harbison and Mr.
Eric B. Seldon. The first
Legend was Mrs. Florence
Bellamy, former Phenix City
board of Education chairperson
and wife of Judge Michael
Bellamy. She came from a
family of 11 where education
was emphasized and she said if
her son and husband did not
come, she would get five of her
students to join her. Mrs.
Bellamy was followed by
Georgia State Senator Ed
Harbison who said the most
influential persons in his life
were his grandmother and
mother. Next came Mr. Eric
Seldon whose DANCE stands
for-D=Decide, A=Action,
N=Notice; C=Change and
E=Expose. He was delighted to
have his mother, and many
family members. Mr. Troy
Woods was unable to come and
a representative accepted for
him.
The guest speaker was
the famous Mr. Stephen B.
Smith. When he addressed the
campers, it was told you could
ear a pin drop In his very outspoken manner, Mr. Smith said,
“I can’t be beat.”
Ms. Trenna Trice, director
of the Foundation, served as MC.
She introduced the elected officials and special guests.
Mayor Teresa Tomlinson
brought special greetings. Also
addressing the banquet guests
was Georgia State Representative
Calvin Smyre. A special presentation was made to Mr. Mitchell
& Mr. Upshaw by volunteer
Linda Ryder and the volunteers
(who were all female).
It was a standing-room
only crowd as the program
began. Ms. Trenna Trice, director,
welcomed the guests. Dinner was
served including a delicious
tossed salad, a combination of
roast beef/salmon served with
asparagus, mashed potatoes,
roasted tomatoes and a delicious
dessert. Champagne was served
to the guests to salute the childhood friends-Marc and Sam, for
fulfilling their childhood dreams.
This is the 10th year of the
SaMarc Dream & Achieve
Foundation Youth Basketball
Camp. This year, a new camp
started at North Atlanta High
School, 4111 Northside Parkway,
Atlanta, GA. The 10th
Anniversary camp is held at
Columbus State University, 4225
University Ave. in the city. The
camp is designed for youth, ages
8-18 and takes them into the basketball arena as well as real life.
Guest speakers addressed the
young men and young ladies and
I had the privilege of speaking to
some campers this year and in
previous years. In all the years of
the camp, Mr. Sam Mitchell said
they never had to have a child
exit the program. He said: “All
they need is a hug.”

McGruff the Crime Dog® and AlertID® New App and 7 Simple “Back to School”
Tips for Parents to Keep Kids Safe
Kids around the country are getting ready to go back to
school and their safety is always top priority for parents. Back
to School is the perfect time for AlertID and the National
Crime Prevention Council (home to McGruff the Crime
Dog®) to share an important new app and 7 simple tips to get
the school year off to a great and safe start.
AlertID has partnered with the National Crime
Prevention Council (NCPC) to create the McGruff Mobile
App. AlertID is the free national online and mobile service,
which helps to reduce crime while providing a safe way for
people to receive and share trusted public safety alerts and
information. Download the McGruff Mobile smartphone app
(powered by AlertID) and enroll for a free membership. Once
enrolled, members are able to view an interactive map displaying crimes and sex offenders in their neighborhoods. They will
be able to receive alerts and information via email or mobile
device for multiple locations such as their homes, schools,
offices, or current locations. After signing up, members then
have the ability to receive law enforcement emergency alerts,
crime and sex offender alerts, prevention tips, and much more.
It also includes a virtual neighborhood watch where members
can share photos and information regarding suspicious activity
with neighbors, police, and even Homeland Security.
In addition to downloading McGruff Mobile so that parents can be aware of the dangers in their neighborhoods,
please review these 7 simple tips to keep kids safe for “Back
to School”:
· Map out a safe way to walk to school or to the bus
stop. Avoid crossing busy roads and intersections, if possible.
Do a trial run with your kids so that you can discuss areas to
avoid along the way, such as vacant lots, construction areas,
and parks where there aren’t many people. Encourage kids to
walk to school or the bus stop with a sibling or friend, and
wait at bus stops with other children.
· Snap a photo of your child and enter up-to-date
descriptions into the My Family Wallet™ (located within
McGruff Mobile). If the child goes missing, members may
access the information on their smartphones and send it quickly to law enforcement when every moment counts.
Ask about the safety and emergency plans for your children’s school. How is local law enforcement involved? How
are students and parents involved? What emergencies have
been considered and planned for?
Create a group on AlertID with your school administrator to share emergency information with staff, parents and others via email and push notification.
· Talk to your children about their day. Ask your children
if they see anyone bullied, if they are bullied, or if anything
else makes them feel uncomfortable. Look for warning signs
of bullying, such as a sudden drop in grades, loss of friends, or
torn clothing.
· If you see something that is suspicious in your neighborhood, report it to local law enforcement and post information and updates to your neighbors on AlertID to help reduce
crime.
·
Teach children to resolve problems without fighting. Talk to them about other ways they can work out a problem, such as talking it out, walking away, sticking with friends,
or telling a trusted adult.
· Keep an eye on your children’s Internet use. Talk to
your children about what they do online – what sites they visit,
who they email, and who they chat with. Encourage them to
speak up if something makes them uncomfortable, or if they
witness forms of cyberbullying, such as threats or harassment.
“Back to school is an important time for families to discuss safety with their children, review safety tips and be aware
of threats to their children at home and school,” said AlertID
founder, Keli Wilson. “The more informed we are as parents,
the safer our children and the community will be.”
The McGruff Mobile app is available for download on
iTunes or the Android market. To sign up for a free AlertID
account, or for more information, please go to
www.AlertID.com.

HOW TO IMPROVE
YOUR FICO
SCORES QUICKLY
Written by Blanche Evans
With mortgage interest
rates hovering near record
lows, you may want to either
refinance your mortgage or
purchase a new home before
rates go higher again.
The question is -- can
you qualify for refinancing
or a purchase loan?
Since the recession,
lenders have tightened loan
qualification standards and
their most widely used tool
to determine if you qualify
for a loan and at what interest rate are your credit
scores. Credit scores are
determined by a software
algorithm that analyzes your
credit and payment history.
These "FICO" scores
run between 300 and 850,
with the highest numbers
considered to be the best
scores. The 47% of
Americans with credit
scores of 720 or higher
receive the best interest
rates, according to
MyFICO.com.
Credit scores make a
significant impact. For every
20-point credit score
increase, according to
Zillow, the average low
APR declines 0.12 percent,
a savings of $6,400 on a
$300,000 home over 30
years.
Improve your credit
scores
FICO scores are based
on your credit history. Each
credit reporting bureau,
Experian, TransUnion, and
Equifax calculates its own
score, so you may have
three scores.
The first thing you
need to do is review your
credit reports for errors and
get them resolved as quickly
as possible. Visit freeannualcreditreport.com to get copies.
You can then purchase your
credit scores for approximately $14.95 from each agency or
all three at myfico.com.
FICO scores change
with every new piece of information that comes into the
credit reporting bureau, so the
credit score you receive today
can be improved quickly by
following some dos and
don'ts.
Don't close credit card
accounts. FICO scores utilize
a credit utilization ratio that

turns against you because it
appears that you might be
overusing your available
credit.
Don't max out or consolidate credit cards. Credit
card companies like it if you
only use about 30% of your
available credit on your card.
You're better off having small
balances on multiple cards
than a large balance on one
card.
Don't apply for new
revolving credit or transfer
balances. If you're buying a
new home, it's tempting to
buy some new furniture, but
don't open that account until
after your loan closes. You
don't want "inquiries" to be
raised in the scoring algorithm.
Don't change jobs right
before you apply for a home
loan, although job changes
within the same field are considered more favorably in
scoring.
Do pay all bills on time
and with at least the minimum payment due. Lenders
like on time payment histories.
Do pay down your
debt, as lower income-todebt ratios are attractive to
lenders. Start by reducing
credit card balances first,
beginning with the balances
that generate the highest
interest rates. Revolving
credit is considered riskier
debt than installment loans
such as student loans or car
payments.
Do shop lenders
simultaneously. Credit
score software takes into
account several inquiries
from mortgage lenders as
normal, but if you space
rate-shopping out over
weeks or months, that could
impact your credit score
negatively.
Remember, mortgage
lenders are most interested
in your ability to repay their
loan. The most important
factors are job and debt
payment history. Job security -- long-term employment in the same field

Columbus, GA--The Fountain City Teen Poetry Slam was in full swing this summer,
offering a number of creative outlets for the entire family. In mid-July, the slam team traveled to Philadelphia to participate in Brave New Voices, a national poetry slam compe
tition for youth, ages 13-19. Competing amongst teams from Chicago to Nashville to
Cape Town, South Africa, the 2014 Fountain City Slam Team performed well in all of their
quarterfinal bouts. Madison Johnson’s performance poem, “Chanaya Doesn’t Want To Go
To Summer Camp...” was a Best of the 2014 Festival selection. Chance Kester also represented the city in the MC Olympics and Haiku Battle Royale. The quarterfinals performance
piece, “Teach Me” performed by Jacobe Love and Michaela Brown, is now one of the featured videos from the 2014 festival on the Youth Speaks website.
The 2014 Fountain City Slam Team was made up of the following:
Michaela Brown, G.W. Carver High School
Madison Johnson, Columbus High School
Chance Kester, Northside High School
Jacobe Love, Shaw High School
Krystopher Mason, CVCC
Jonathan S.E. Perkins, director/coach

The Fountain City Slam is open to youth of all backgrounds as a safe house to use
poetry as a means of self expression and exploration. Students have experienced the benefits
of this auxiliary arts education in their intellectual, personal, and social development.
Through weekly workshops, poetry slams, national/regional/local performance opportunities,
and community service, we’re watching the future take shape one word at a time. The
Fountain City Slam is embarking on yet another fun-filled and enriching year of self expression. The slam season kicks off in September at Fountain City Coffee, 1007 Broadway,
31901.
This critical work for area teens is entirely dependent upon community support. Please
consider the positive impact it will make in the community we live in. Donations can be sent

Tackle a Winning Taste with Korean Pork Skewers
(Family Features) It’s not just a Spanish, tapas-style thing anymore. At all different types of bars and restaurants across the United States, you’ll find menus that continue to explore ways to feature favorite foods – like pork – in more bite-sized, snackable ways. Beyond the walls of those eateries, street vendors, food booths and food
trucks also are featuring portable, easy-to-eat dishes like kabobs and sliders.
One of the great things about street food is that it’s typically an easy way to sample a variety of dishes and global flavors without having to travel far or sit down to a
formal meal – which is what makes these on-the-go options the perfect choice for your
next tailgate, especially if juicy, tender pork is on your menu.
Whether at the game or in your backyard, a tailgate party is the perfect opportunity to share small but tasty plates with your neighbors, friends and family – perfect
bites to enjoy while keeping a close eye on the action on the field.
Spicy Korean Pork Skewers deliver snack-sized game-winning flavor without a
lot of preparation time, and without messy plates and silverware, the clean-up is something to cheer about, too. Marinated in an Asian sauce that gets a bold kick from chili
garlic, soy and fresh ginger, bite-sized cubes of pork ribs are skewered and then grilled
for an unbeatable addition to your game-day spread.
If you want to keep your menu authentic, serve these Korean pork skewers with
white rice. Combine them with other small-plate pork dishes to offer your guests a
variety of great-tasting choices.

Spicy Korean Pork Skewers
Servings: 4
2 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup chili garlic sauce*
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 inches fresh ginger root, skins removed and chopped (or substitute 2 teaspoons
ground ginger)
4 tablespoons filtered sake or dry sherry (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame oil*
3 tablespoons brown sugar
In large bowl combine chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sake, sesame oil and
brown sugar and whisk to form a marinade. Add pork to marinade and let sit for 20
minutes.
Heat indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Thread marinated pork on skewers, about four to five pieces per skewer. Transfer
skewers to grill and cook uncovered, turning to brown evenly every two to three minutes until tender, about 10 minutes total. Serve immediately.
*You can find chili garlic sauce and sesame oil in the ethnic or Asian section of
most major supermarkets.
Quick Tip: Make sure to leave plenty of room on the grill between each skewer
to avoid overcrowding the meat and to ensure even cooking.
