one of the hottest seasons of the month
is quite magical indeed.
Additionally, the Spyglass Hotel implosion
was featured on Criss Angel’s nationally
televised show “Mindfreak” which was
broadcast live on A&E and watched by
several million. Clearwater Beach was shown
and mentioned continually throughout.
That kind of PR is more powerful than the
450 sticks of dynamite it took to implode
the building.

The internet and media exposure, coupled
with the traffic to the newly transformed
beachfront called Beach Walk, is a PR stunt
that would make Houdini proud.
As some of Clearwater’s primary sources of
commerce are Tourism and Real Estate—I
needn’t state what’s happened with the
latter—I think driving people to Clearwater
by trick or by treat is brilliant and gets
my 5-star vote.

that this event made on our little town of
Clearwater, Google “Criss Angel Clearwater

T
his summer, some 350 kids
from two Clearwater groups,
the Greenwood Community
Center and the Life Force Cultural Arts
Academy have been experiencing the
fun of soccer daily. Galactics Clearwater

provide free summer soccer sessions
for the Community Center and Life
Force Academy with the purpose
of introducing the predominantly
African-American kids to soccer and
helping to keep them entertained
and active during the summer break.

ccording to their website “The 48 Hour
Film Project” (48HFP) is a wild and
sleepless weekend in which you and a
team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score
it—in just 48 hours.
On a Friday night, you get a character, a prop,
a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in
your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be
complete. Upon completion it will show at a
local theater, usually during the following week.
In this national film competition teams in each
city go head-to-head to win a cash prize, film

The African-American community is
strongly rooted in American football
and basketball and has yet to discover
the attraction and opportunities
of the fastest-growing sport in the
US—soccer—played by millions,
loved by billions and the number
one sport in the world.

are stopped to ensure that they are
seen before crossing. If no sidewalk
is available, pedestrians should walk
facing traffic and bicyclists should ride
with the flow of traffic.
Motorists should plan to add a few extra
minutes to morning and afternoon trips,
and extra care should be taken when
driving near schools, crosswalks and bus
stops. Drivers should also be prepared
to stop for school buses when picking
up or dropping off students. Florida
law requires that drivers bring their
vehicle to a full stop when approaching
any school bus displaying a stop signal.
Motorists must then remain stopped
and are prohibited from passing the bus
until the signal has been withdrawn.
This law also applies to motorists
driving in the opposite direction of
a stopped school bus unless there is
an unpaved space of at least 5 feet, a
raised median or some other type of
physical barrier.
Drivers can also expect some changes
in their daily commutes associated with
the start of another school year. The
addition of more cars and buses on our
roadways each morning and afternoon
will certainly result in increased traffic
congestion, particularly near schools

“Dear America and World Citizens,
Greetings of Peace to you all.
Needless to say, I am deeply saddened and the world has
suffered a great loss of a friend to all mankind.
‘Doc’, (Isaac) was more than a poor boy who picked cotton in
Memphis, TN, who then rose to become an icon in the music
industry, later winning an Oscar for the legendary music
score ‘Shaft’.
He was a father & husband,
He was an activist, humanitarian,
He was a multifaceted pioneer.
He was the International Spokesperson for the greatest grassroots
movement of all time: The World Literacy Crusade!
The one thing that will be most missed about “Doc” is that
he was a good man who cared and loved all people. He always
brought joy and happiness to everyone who came into his
presence.
Isaac can never be replaced; therefore, he will never be
forgotten.
Doc, wherever you are now, please know that you are loved
by all and your living has not been in vain.”
MEMPHIS, TENN. (August 12, 2008)
A
memorial service will be held on Monday at
Hope Presbyterian Church, 8500 Walnut Grove,
Cordova, Tennessee from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
to celebrate the life of pioneering soul icon Isaac Hayes,
who passed away on Sunday at the age of 65.
Born in the rural poverty of a sharecropper’s family on
August 20, 1942, in Covington, Tennessee, Hayes rose
to artistic success as an accomplished Grammy, Golden
Globe and Academy Award winning composer/musician,
paving the way for his fellow African Americans in
the arts and entertainment world. As well as being a
published author, actor and radio personality, Hayes is
a coronated King of Ghana in western Africa. Instead
of a palace, he built an 8,000 square foot educational
facility as he felt that education and literacy are the keys
to a successful life.
He is survived by his wife of three years, Adjowa
Hayes, and their two–year–old son, Kwadjo Hayes, and
ten children—Jacqueline Fields, Felecia Hayes Fisher,
Veronica Hayes, Vincent Hayes, Melanie Hayes, Nikki
McGhee, Heather Hayes, Isaac Hayes III, Darius Caston
and Lillian Bryant—14 grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren.
-Rev. Alfreddie Johnson, PhD
—————————————
The family issued the following statement:
“We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of support and love
from Isaac’s dear friends, colleagues and fans from every corner
of the world, and we thank each and every one of them for their
kind thoughts and prayers. While he was an iconic figure to
many, to us he was husband, father and friend. We will ever miss
his love, wisdom, humor and the familiar comfort of his voice.”
To celebrate Hayes’ constant support of the Stax Music
Academy and his Stax Records Legacy, the Hayes family,
in lieu of flowers, requests that donations be sent to:
Stax Music Academy, 926 E. McLemore Avenue, Memphis,
TN 38106. Checks can be made out to Soulsville, and
please specify “In memory of Isaac Hayes.”
Condolences may be sent to the family at
message@isaachayes.com
—————————————
“To the world he was Black Moses, Ike The Ripper and,
later, Chef from TV’s South Park. To the rest of us who had
the extraordinary opportunity to work with him in recent
years, he was just Isaac. He was humble, unpretentious and
refreshingly down-to-earth. Not bad for a man who delivered
a record-setting seven #1 albums to the Billboard R&B chart,
scored numerous awards (including multiple Grammys and
2 Academy Awards), appeared in over three dozen films and
was named a Royal King of Ghana along the way.”
– Concord Music Group
—————————————
“Isaac Hayes exemplified all that is Stax. We are all very
fortunate to have worked with a visionary who changed music
in indelible and profound ways. His talent was matched only
by his kindness of spirit. On behalf of the entire Concord/Stax
family we express our deep sympathies to his family, friends
and fans all over the world.”
– Concord Music Group president & CEO Glen Barros
ISAAC HAYES
IN MEMORIAM
”At the end of the day, we are
responsible for our own lives. If
anything happens to us, don’t
blame somebody else. Backtrack and
look at what you did to contribute
to that. You also contribute to your
successes. Once you learn that,
you’re on your way.”
– Isaac Hayes
“In London, while I was working on hit records as a sound
engineer, I had the fortuitous opportunity to meet the great
‘hot buttered soul man’, Isaac Hayes, at his London concert.
Later, I met him again through youth education and we became
very good friends.
“Isaac Hayes changed the course of black music and—with
his vision—changed the course of children’s literacy around
the world.
“I personally look forward to meeting him again. Good luck,
Isaac! You were a true Renaissance Man: a man who could
do anything!”
– Simaen Skolfield Photographer and Sound Engineer
—————————————
“As a co-founder of the Community Learning Center, I have
had the distinct honor of working with Mr. Hayes on several
occasions in forwarding our mutual goal of improving the
literacy and lives of youth.
“The thing that has struck me the most about him is his
great love for his fellow man. When the Center first opened,
he led a two mile march through Greenwood from the Kings
Highway Recreation Center to the new Community Learning
Center. Following the pomp and circumstance of the ribbon
cutting Mr. Hayes was to have returned to his hotel. Instead,
he stayed for hours. He stayed at the Center so he could sign
autographs and talk to every single person that had come
to see him. He took the time to talk to mothers about their
struggling children, teens about their goals, and to answer
the questions of his many fans.
“Over dinner with my husband and I, Isaac told us stories of
his youth, and growing up poor in the South. It was during
these stories that I was struck again, but this time by his great
sense of humor.
“Mr. Hayes, you are loved very much and will be missed.”

Continued from front page
Introducing the naturally athletic
African‑American community to soccer has
been one of Galactics’ strongest purposes,
especially since World Champion boxer
Tyrone Booze, founder of the Smart Fighter
organization, came on board as Galactics VIP
and representative. Tyrone brought with him
the strong desire to help his people and with
a new-found enthusiasm for soccer, began
work on introducing the African-American
community to the beautiful game.
Kids huddling with a Galactics coach
This purpose was further strengthened when
Brazilian soccer coach, Quinho Cardoso,
joined the Galactics technical staff and took
charge of the Greenwood soccer program
with unparalleled enthusiasm and personal
dedication.
The children at both organizations, though
mostly completely unfamiliar with soccer,
show incredible enthusiasm for the sport and
obviously enjoy learning something new and
exciting. With all kinds of fun games and
contests, the kids are introduced to soccer in
a relaxed way, letting them explore the game
through play and interaction with the other
kids and our experienced coaches.
Deficiencies in calcium and/or
magnesium affect your nervous system.
Its job is to send signals (messages)
to all your organs and muscles to do
their job. If your nerves can’t send the
signals, your body will malfunction
as the organs and muscles don’t get
the “message”.

gluconate and magnesium carbonate
in the correct 2:1 ratio that your body
needs with vitamin C and citric acid to

for your body to absorb it fast.
Calcium and magnesium losses can

To be absorbed by your body, calcium

When taking calcium and magnesium
the correct way (in the correct ratios

T
he Jennifer Nolletti Memorial Art
Foundation’s mission is to provide
scholarship funds to students in need
so they may continue their education in art
or music. The Foundation is a registered
non-profit 501-c-3 corporation established
in 2008, and is funded by individuals who
agree that art & music are essential to the
development of well-rounded individuals
who can think outside the box. Jennifer’s
favorite saying: “To discover new oceans,
you must have the courage to lose sight
of the shore” - Lord Chesterfield.
Jennifer Nolletti was a 26-year-old artist and
elementary school art teacher in Pinellas
County. On October 5, 2007 she was
tragically killed by a reckless driver who
ran a red light. It is in her honor that we
proudly established The Jennifer Nolletti
Memorial Art Foundation. Throughout her
life, Jennifer had a passion for art, taking
classes in photography, drawing and
painting. In 2002, she graduated from the
University of North Florida with a bachelor’s
degree in Art Education. Jennifer was a
Tampa Bay native, returning to Pinellas
County after college to pursue a career
as an art teacher. She was committed to
her students and tried to inspire a love of
art by focusing her lessons on real pieces
of artwork and artists as she wanted her
students to develop a deeper understanding
of art and a strong framework for a better
appreciation of art. She was adored by her
classes and didn’t treat them like elementary
students, but like art students. Along with
her passion for art, Jennifer had a love
of music. She played guitar in her spare
time and was an advocate and fan of the
local music scene in the Tampa Bay area.
The board of the foundation is comprised
of those people closest to Jennifer. Her
parents Rosemary and Nick Nolletti,
her fiancé Joe Sanders, family friends Al
Dimmer, Megan Pargov ,Vanessa Sepa,
Meghan Lance, and Sarah Williamson.
For our first fundraiser, we wanted to create
an event with activities that Jennifer would
have liked to attend. The obvious answer
was a day filled with art and music, two
of her passions.
The benefit will be held on Sunday Sept.
14, 2008 at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater,
from 12-4:30 and will be geared towards
children. There will be spin-art and sand‑art
booths, and a variety of activities such as
those Jennifer taught her own students.
These will be open to the public.
The silent auction/art show will run all day
from 12pm-10pm. We are proud to have
representation of many different media,
artists and artisans. We are especially
excited that Peter Max has donated two of
his works. Dale Chihuly is also donating
a set of books about his artwork.
A ticketed concert will finish the day. Three
local bands are donating their talents to
our cause; The Crunge (a Led Zeppelin
tribute band), The Black Honkeys, and
Basic Rock Outfit. Tickets are available
only through The Jennifer Nolletti
Memorial Art Foundation (727-784-5487 or
rnolletti@yahoo.com), Basic Rock Outfit
(www.myspace.com/joesanders7), or The
Black Honkeys.

What’s all the Buzz about Adaptogens?
Why are doctors, nutritionist and athletic trainers
clamoring to get it to their clients and friends? I’ve been
taking vitamins minerals and eating healthy for years
and I had not heard of adaptogens until now...
According to Wikipedia:
“Adaptogen…
The term adaptogen is used by herbalists to refer to
a natural herb product that is proposed to increase the
body’s resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue.
In the past, they have been called rejuvenating herbs…
The concept of adaptogens dates back thousands of
years to ancient India and China, but modern study
did not begin until the late 1940s. In 1947, Nikolai
Lazarev defined an adaptogen as an agent that allows
the body to counter adverse physical, chemical, or
biological stressors by raising nonspecific resistance
toward such stress, thus allowing the organism to
“adapt” to the stressful circumstances.”
