Fresno Homeless Win

Multi-Million Dollar Settlement

Fresno police were wrong in seizing

personal belongings from homeless

encampments and tossing them out.

Lawyers for the homeless have an-

nounced a $2.35 million dollar settle-

ment, say cities across the country

should learn from Fresno's mistake.

"This legal precedent will be a sign

to cities across the country that they

can't violate the constitutional rights of

homeless people in public spaces,"

said Attorney Elisa Della-Piana with

the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights.

Police tossed away items including

essential medications and documents,

a wheelchair, and even old photos.

The city must now pay the 225 class

action members $1.5 million, with

those payments ranging from $500 to

more than $10,000 per person.

Gas Saving Tips To Help Stop Global Warming

W ith gas prices rising, gas-saving advice abounds:

drive more gently, don't carry extra stuff in your trunk, combine your shopping trips.

This is all sound advice but there's one driving tip that will probably save you more gas than all the others, especially if you spend a lot of time on the high-way: slow down!

In a typical family sedan, every 10 miles per hour you drive over 60 is like the price of gaso-line going up about 54 cents a gallon. That figure will be even higher for less fuel-efficient vehi-

W hen Orlando's controversial rules on feeding the homeless go on trial in federal court this week, Mayor Buddy Dyer likely will have to answer

some tough questions. The advocates for the homeless who sued for the right to feed the hun-

gry plan to call Dyer to the witness stand. "He was the guy in charge when this ordinance was proposed and writ-

ten and enacted," said Jacqueline Dowd, one of the attorneys for the feeding groups. "He's been somewhat vocal about the issue of homelessness in Orlando, and I think some of his public statements are going to be at issue."

Dyer is the most high-profile person on a list of possible witnesses that includes Orlando's police chief, city clerk and economic-development director,


Not only has the economy hit most people but it also hit us, and when we printed those cards up it ac-tually saved us over $5,000 in printing costs. We usually spend close to $7,000 a month and the cards cost us only $2,000. So it actually helped us meet our budget goals and it happened all by accident. July we are giving you a paper and some of the days will also be cards to help keep our costs down. We got a lot of emails from people saying they loved the cards and we hope that you personally loved them as well.

We hope the economy is not hitting you as hard as it is hitting some people. We hope that things will get better so the poor do not suffer as

much as they have been suffering over the last few months.

We have been hit real hard the last few months and we are losing money mostly because of the high price of gas. As one could imagine our costs went way up due to the cost of fuel. We all have seen increases in our electric bills because to bring elec-tric to your home FPL has to use fuel. Our gas bill for the agency went up to over $7,000.00 a month.

With all these increases our donations are way down and we really need your help more than ever before. A lot of people don’t realize a lot of our supporters give us a few dollars a week and now with the cost of gas

H appy Fourth of July! We at the

Homeless Voice hope eve-ryone had a safe and happy holiday! During the sum-mer months the ER sees many children coming in with burns associated with sparklers and fireworks. It’s important to always put safety first. Remember, children should never be near fireworks, and adults should leave the big ones for the professionals. Over the next few months the layout will be taken over by Sara Cunningham. I will continue to assist, but this will free me up to help in other ways and I will still provide the services that I have offered in the past. Thank– you!

D uring hard economic times it is important to know how to

prevent your financial situation from going array. More than ever in recent history, it has become impor-tant to incorporate financial strate-gies. People of many backgrounds find their wallets becoming empty faster due to higher costs for food, gas, housing, etc. Homeless and people of all economic backgrounds should take certain steps into con-sideration. Prevention, maintaining, and security measures will protect families from enduring hard times in uncertain economic circumstances.

Knowing your credit score is a great first step to making sure your future is secure. If the score is below 500, you may be heading for trouble. Also, review the score status during several months to see if it improves. Today, there are pro-grams through banks or online sites that offer credit score information for low fees. Next, be sure to keep a bank account open by making small deposits as often as possible. Third, try to keep a credit card account open for emergency use or small purchases that can be paid off

quickly. Fourth, keep all identifica-tion records in a lockbox or safe deposit. This will ensure that infor-mation that is needed will be avail-able and safe. Keep in mind, that some homeless have the issue of being unable to locate pertinent identification due to losing their homes. These measures will prevent this long before anything drastic occurs.

In summation, even profes-

sionals must take into account that they could be a paycheck away from being homeless. Therefore, with uncertain times ahead, it is best to take the appropriate steps to main-tain a standard of living.

Fried Pork Chops

10-12 Chops Thin cut pork chops either assorted or Cen-ter Cut 1 cups Flour 1 teaspoon Salt 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder or Garlic Salt (If you use Garlic Salt delete salt) 1 teaspoon Onion Powder ½ teaspoon Pepper ½ cup Milk and water 3-4 cups of Oil (Canola, Corn or Vegetables) Make seasoned flour by combining flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a large bowl to flour meat. In a separate bowl pour ½ cup of milk and ½ water. Heat oil between medium and high heat to prevent burning oil. Coat meat with flour, then milk & water mixture and then back into flour to double coat and seal the flavor. Place in hot oil and cook until dark golden brown and stack on paper towels standing side by side to drain off all the oil and allow to dry and get crispy. TIPS: Best served with Mashed Potatoes, Corn and Gravy Fast Gravy: Open a can of Cream of Mushroom soup and add only a ¼ of a can of water. OR Open a can of Cream of Chicken with a dash of soy sauce or Kitchen mate. OR You can always use a powered gravy mix. Note: This is my son’s favorite dish and whenever I make this meal I always make extra because they are delicious cold and everyone clearly enjoys them. It is one of those meals that my son’s will always re-member me for. It is clearly my signature dish! Try to not spend more than $1.99 to $2.39 a pound for assorted and $2.99 for Center Cut. Buy the family packs because they are al-ways a little cheaper and you can always mix and match. If you save on the assorted family pack you can buy a package of Center Cut.

First 'Green' Homeless Shelter Opens In Oakland

A fter eight years of fundraising, plead-

ing, planning and build-ing, Alameda County's largest homeless shelter opened in January in a newly built ecologically "green" shelter on Interna-tional Boulevard.

With solar panels supplying electricity and water-based hydronic heaters warming rooms in the 125-bed shelter, the Crossroads building of the East Oakland Community Project is said to be the first "green" homeless shelter in the nation. It replaces a cold, damp and leaky building up the road on International that has been housing homeless for the past 17 years.

"You'll wake up here and feel good be-cause it's an environment that is healthy. We are asking our people to deal with some heavy issues, so it is best that we sup-port their health," said Wendy Jackson, executive director of the East Oak-land Community Project.

"Many of the clients are ill, about 60 percent are ill, often with chronic diseases of asthma, diabetes, so we wanted to do whatever we can to make this as healthy an environment as possible," she said. The building, with high win-dows for natural light and walls painted with a green paint that does not emit

toxins, has an airy, good feel to it.

Over at EOCP's 17-year-old shelter at 5725 International Blvd., resident Bobby Ross said he's excited about moving to the new place.

"It's going to be beautiful there, and we need to get out of here. It's freezing in here and the roof leaks," he said.

Chester Feather-son is one client who is sick with the flu and a chronic cough. He carries a briefcase full of cold medicines, tissues and hand cleaners which he said he gives to others at the shelter who are sick, too. Bundled up in a jacket, sweatshirt and

shirt, he said "I'll be glad to not wear so many lay-ers," at the new building which should be warmer.

The new Cross-roads shelter has other firsts besides being the nation's first green shelter.

It'll be the first in Alameda County with a respite wing for people who have been released from the hospital but with nowhere to go. Now, homeless people who are hospitalized and return back to the streets have a good chance of succumb-ing to further illness.

It also has a fam-ily wing with bathtubs in each of five units.

"Our little guys (Continued on page 10)


W ords like gold rings and as-sembly may be a little out of

step in this day and age but not so hard to equate with, as I have used the expression before, the have’s (as opposed to the have not’s) and their neighborhoods. While we welcome our equal or better into our neighbor-hoods we tell the poor and the less fortunate, the homeless, to move there, not close to me. NOT IN MY BACKYARD, YOU DON’T! In this year of our Lord, 2008, and for so many years past and will continue for many years to come, the lower class are oppressed by those more fortunate. We do judge! Of course there are exceptions to every rule and every law and statistic and so there is with this also...there are so many middle class, many well to do, wealthy who go out of their way to help those less fortunate...and not just for tax purposes either. They genuinely care for their fellow hu-

man being, they want to help them and help them achieve a better life. BUT just look around your own neighborhood and listen. What are subjects of neighborhood meetings? Look at the laws that are en-acted...don’t feed the home-less...etc...etc.., don’t, don’t, don’t!....they didn’t just spring up out of thin air.

Please, I am not intention-ally criticizing or condemning any-one who has money, nor am I de-fending a homeless or less fortunate person because there are a lot of mitigating circumstances in the lives of both sides.

I am a firm believer that children learn what they live. Re-member that poem? We teach them from a tender age all the social do’s and don’ts, values and the necessi-ties of life. And we teach them by our behavior and attitudes. How many times has a mother told her

daughter (or son) who has just be-come a new parent, not to make faces when feeding the baby some-thing that you yourself don't particu-larly like? The baby will pick up on the expression and learn to dislike it also. Why do we read and sing and talk to the baby in the womb?

A very long time ago, soci-ety became very selfish and the mor-als and ways of the present world are the result.

Homelessness, morals, peer pressure and the list goes on needs to be addressed on many lev-els and schools are already address-ing it in the lower grades. This is a great start...but it needs to be rein-forced at home. On this particular subject, we need Homeless 101 taught from an early age at home, in school and in church. Church is a

very important channel, one which needs to step up a little closer to the plate. Churches need to help in teaching and in deed. On all levels, no matter who or what, it cannot be a case of this is how it should be, now go and do as I say, not as I do. That mentality is everyone’s problem; everyone does this all the time.

Before we start Homeless 101 we need to find out what it really is, how it started and what are the problems it faces. What’s the expression? You can take the boy out of the country but not take the country out of the boy. Right here at the shelter there are at least a dozen or more residents who, if showered and shaved and put into a suit would pass for a successful businessman. Yes, and complete with manners.


A move by Austin City Council creates a potential road block

for a proposed RV park for Austin's homeless.

The day after tempers flared at a public meeting about a park that would house 150 chronically home-less people near an E a s t A u s t i n neighborhood, Aus-tin City Council member Mike Mar-tinez asked city council to hold off on lease negotiations and site preparations for a year.

"We had an explosion an emotional explosion," said Richard Troxell with House the Homeless.

It was an explosion that may end plans for a homeless RV park in East Austin.

"I will be officially asking my colleagues to suspend any work on the Mobile Loaves and Fishes RV project," said Austin City Council member, Mike Martinez.

The City was in the process of leasing the 11 acres of land off Harold Court. Mobile Loaves and Fishes was set to build and run the

RV- Park 150 chronically homeless people would have called home.

Many concerned neighbors expressed relief at the motion.

"Right now we have a year of safety for the children in our com-munity and the homeowners and our property," neighbor-hood resident Col-leen Smith said. "I'm really happy about that." Many neighbors felt they were left out of the decision-making process and had concerns about secu-rity and who would

live at the park. Martinez said, while he's

not giving up, finding a new site will not be any easier.

"You're talking about lifting up folks that in large part, society is not ready to accept as part of the mainstream," Martinez said.

"Everybody wants you to do something about the homeless but nobody wants you to do it in their community."

Jesus & NIMBY

NIMBY was not a word in Jesus’ vocabulary! NIMBY – Acronym for “Not in my back yard”

Consider this passage from James 2:1-9 My brothers and sisters, show no partiality as you adhere to the

faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ. For if a man with gold rings and fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor person with shabby clothes also comes in, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “Sit here, please,” while you say to the poor one, “Stand there,” or “Sit at my feet,” have you not made distinctions among your-selves and become judges with evil designs?

Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the King-dom that he promised to those who love him? But you dishonored the poor. Are not the rich oppressing you? And do they themselves not haul you off to court? Is it not they who blaspheme the noble name that was invoked over you? However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Future not looking good for homeless RV park

Harold Court, the site where the homeless RV park was to take root.


I f I go to the hospital and have an address and don’t appear to be homeless I am going to be

seen by the Emergency Room and it does not mat-ter if I have insurance or not. In theory the same should go for the poor or homeless and in most cases it does go exactly the way the system was designed.

However, there are many cases in which the tired overstressed ER doctor or nurse who has seen the same homeless person over and over in the ER does everything possible to convince the homeless person to leave AMA.

Against Medical Attention. Please if you are a provider in the emergency room please don’t say it does not happen that way for we have seen it over and over. We even went one step further….we dressed up as a homeless person and said we were homeless and went in to the ER to see how we would be treated. We went in for chest pains that truly existed.

This time we were treated horrible. The nurse said to me, how about we get you a dinner and then you can go back to the alley where you live. She did everything but to hold my hand and walk me out the door. Many, many times the Emergency Rooms give out adequate care and in most cases they were polite and did everything possible to help the homeless person and even went as far as giving out free medication.

What the burnt out health care worker must understand is that when they do not treat the poor or homeless person good and don’t give them good medical care there is a chance that person will be coming back and when faced with a severe medical issue it is going to end up costing the hospital a lot more money.

What could have been prevented with a $40 script now has turned into a $100,000 hospital bill for Vancomycin IV Therapy for 30 days and a surgery to get the infected abscess out of the persons’ body and if that person becomes septic you are talking about a lot more money then of course another two months of home health care for the wound. Yes a nurse or Emergency Room Doctor that does not treat a patient good will end up costing tax payers an arm and a leg.

In this case a young man has a horrible growth on his left groin and has been to the Emer-gency Room time after time. He even went as far as going to the free county medical services from one of the hospitals in the Tri County area. And as always they claim it is cosmetic and therefore

they refuse to do anything to it. Now I have had the littlest things removed off my body when they bled over and over with insurance.

This thing bleeds and bleeds and it is always open therefore the chance for infection is there. For any doctor to say this is cosmetic is a lack of caring for the patient. It is not cosmetic when it bleeds. The only reason it isn’t removed is because he is poor. I am sure the hospital direc-tors would say that this needs to be done.

If this man’s growth gets infected and it travels in his body he may become septic and if in the streets, he may die from his massive infection. Each and every year up to about 100 homeless people die of septic infections.

You would think that since every rule in the book says to keep open wounds covered that it would be important not to have something that is always open.

With so much MRSA going around it would be wise not to have any open wounds on your body and a doctor that is licensed to give out good care should realize that a homeless person has a better chance of getting an infection on the street than a person living indoors.

The next case is a 58 year old black male who we will call Mr. Bigg. This gentleman was placed in a cab and sent to our shelter with no call from the Emergency Room. He could not even walk and was still bleeding from the open skin infections on his leg.

As you can see by the pictures titled “Mr. Bigg” his legs were very swollen. The ER just put him in a cab and did not even dress his wounds with proper medical bandages.

We can’t forget about Mr. Hernia, this is a man who the hospital discharged to our shelter and stated he was able to work with no restrictions and needed no emergency care. For those of us who have had hernias in the past I am sure 95 per-cent of us never had a bulge like this. At most maybe we would have a small bulge like the size of a plum. As you can see he had a basketball hernia.

Let’s not forget about the broken collar bone he had as well. The sad part of this story is that the hospital that discharged him to us just did a small hernia surgery on another part of his body but failed to deflate the basketball as well.

The very upsetting part of this story is that if this hernia he had got strangled by his stom-ach wall muscles it would have been an emer-gency surgery and the chance for a major infection as the tissue died. I am no doctor; however, I think if I would have been a candy striper I would have seen how necessary it was to take care of this man.

Health care for the homeless has been an issue across the country. I am not saying that this happens all the time. But because of fast dis-charged procedures because of the filthy rich in-

-- St Francis of Assisi

Dedicated to Mary Locke, Our “Mother Mary”

W e loved you. Mary you are in Heaven now for you loved Jesus with all your heart. For years you and I had a lot in

common mostly because of our past public safety work we did many years ago. Who was Mary Locke? She was a very beauti-ful person who loved everyone and would give her last cent to someone who needed it. Mary would buy presents for anyone who was depressed and she liked to make special little things for people. She loved giving out flowers to someone depressed and passing out cards to anyone who needed to have their sprits picked up for the day… Her middle name was “Hallmark.”

But who was Mary Locke and what did Mary Locke do for society and how did Mary Locke help mankind? Mary…. is this…… Mary, “911 do you need police or fire rescue?” Mary was a dispatcher back in the days when it was extremely hard to be one. They did a lot by hand back then and she had to know where the police officer was when he did his traffic stop in case he yelled over the radio, “10-24” “officer needs assistance” and also send an ambulance to a drowning all at the same time.

When Mary met a life challenge she became homeless and got on her well deserved disability. She would come back to the shelter every so often, I think because she missed her friends not because she was homeless. Mary also liked to help out as much as possible. When our disaster division worked a disaster giving out assistance Mary would volunteer to be the dispatcher. When one of our mental health friends was missing and we went out searching for them, Mary would run the show setting up search patterns over the two-way radio.

I ask the question again, who was Mary Locke? She was my friend that’s who she was. Love Sean

surance companies wanting people out of the hospitals fast and because social workers don’t even see the actual pa-tients and because of the budget cuts for nurses etc many mistakes happen and when it comes to the homeless many are treated in the worst ways.

On the other side there are many doctors and nurses who go out of their way to give the best treatment to every person in the same way no matter if they can pay or not pay. There are many more positives than negatives. In fact even down here in our neck of the woods some of the health plans for indigents beat our paid insurance plans that our jobs give us.

To others who do treat every person the same way, it is important when we see our co-workers who may be burnt out and mistreat the homeless, that we say some-thing to them and remind them that these people need our help even if they really don’t. They come to the Emergency Room because they are homeless and they just may be sick. You just can’t assume that they want a meal for the day.

We Still Need Your Help!!!

they can’t help us anymore because if they do they won’t have money to buy gas to get back and forth to work. I never thought I would hear that some people can’t even afford to drive to work.

We had a lovely lady who use to give us a check in the amount of $25.00 per month for over seven years. She emailed me to tell me how embarrassed she was that she could not send any more checks to us until the price of gas went down.

When I got the email I felt so bad for her but I also thought how lucky we were that this lady was really giving us $25.00 a month that probably was her leftover money in her personal budget. She said, “Sean if I give you this $25.00 like I have for all these years I won’t make it to work.” She added that her extra money now has to go into her gas tank. Boy, did that make me think real hard on just how many people are faced with the same decisions as us when gas is so high.

I have to tell you that my day was very sad to think of how this lady has helped us over the years and now she is having a hard time just to make it to work.

The very next day we looked deeper in to our donations that come in the mail and found out that a lot of people who normally send in their checks have stopped in the last three months. Then I went in to the daily figures of paper sales and then realized, we are down more than we have ever been.

So my friends I am here to first thank all of you who have given us money over the years and have stopped now because of the econ-omy. I have to tell you that we really feel special that for some of you it is apparent that you did not have that much discretionary income but yet, you still gave us donations.

Secondly I am going to ask those who can donate a little more to do so over the next 90 days. We are running our regular campaign to replenish the emergency funds we used to pay off the mortgage and we also are running a special “I Can Fill In. (for her)” campaign.

This is where you send in your check to the Emergency Budget Account so we can use those funds to keep our own roof over our home-less people’s heads. You can make the checks payable to the Homeless Voice but memo the check with Emergency Budget Account, this way the funds go towards monthly budgets until the economy gets bet-ter. Also please search on the inter-

net (see our ad below) so we can earn one cent for every search you do. For those who still want to help us out but have no funds this is a great way to donate to us.

Look below and find out how to search and raise money for the homeless. For those of us who use the internet for shopping please follow the directions below and shop via us and when you plan your next business trip and have to stay at a hotel book via us and your hotel will be less expensive and also we will get a percentage of your booking. If you need flowers, airlines reserva-tions or even shop at Sears the Homeless Voice will earn money and you get to keep your low cost prices by shopping on the internet.

Friends we really do need you more than ever because of this horrible economy and I am sure you

know that with every bad economy we are over loaded with more clients than we have seen in a long time.

Thanking You In Advance, Sean Anthony Cononie


plan to figure out ways of first getting donations and secondly how can we produce income without costing the sup-

porters one cent.

First it was the Internet Search via Good Search where we make one penny every time someone searches on the

Internet. We did not do as well as we thought on this venture but we will continue to ask our supporters to search on

the internet by going to GoodSearch.com. If every supporter just searches on the Internet using the same web search

engines such as Yahoo search we will make one penny for every search and that can really add up.

We have also added the Homeless Voice

Mall. This mall means you can go right from

the World Wide Web and book your air-

line tickets via Delta. We will make $2.50

for every reservation.

If you use Travelocity and Hotwire.com, we

also make money for every reservation.

The good thing about this is that your prices

are still the same low price.

If you need a hotel and use brands such as

Wyndham, Sheraton, or Hotels.com we also

get paid for every booking.

Perry's brother, Les Perry, who said he

is disappointed with the investigation's

outcome, disputed prosecutors' findings in

an exchange of letters and e-mails.

"Where we differ is fault," said Les

Perry, a lieutenant with the Denver Police

Department. "I agree with them that it's

not a criminal matter. I believe it was

exactly an accident, but he has a level of

responsibility."

Responding to 8:30 p.m. reports of

shots fired in Lincoln Park, Young-Tem

drove 44 to 57 mph in a 35-mph zone

with flashing emergency lights but no

siren, according to memos written by

prosecutors Stefanie Newman and David

Schulson. Young-Tem's car was not

equipped with a siren.

Perry, 49, was intoxicated, dressed in

dark clothing, seven feet from the curb, in

the street and not in a crosswalk when he

was struck, the memos said.

"I do not see any evidence of reckless

disregard for human life to substantiate

charges of vehicular homicide," Newman

wrote in a May 23 letter to Les Perry.

"While it can be argued that the officer

endangered the life of the pedestrian, it

can likewise be argued that your brother

created the zone of risk himself by step-

ping off the curb into oncoming traffic."

Les Perry said witness statements, scien-

tific evidence and the traffic-homicide

investigator's findings support his position.

His family will pursue the matter in civil

court, he said.

There were contradictory accounts of

whether Young-Tem's flashing lights were

activated, but the prosecutors concluded

that they were on.

Police never found the reported gun-

men in the park, nor anyone who'd been

shot.

Young Tem joined the department in

2002. He took a brief paid administra-

tive leave before resuming his regular

duties in the tactical unit with driving

restrictions, said the department's spokes-

man, Sgt. Frank Sousa.

The department will now launch an

internal affairs investigation to determine

whether Young-Tem violated any policies.

The outcome could range from no action

to termination, Sousa

said.

Young-Tem's attor-

ney, Mike Dutko,

said the officer is

relieved to put the

stressful situation

behind him and

thankful for an ob-

jective investigation.

"He's coped well, it's just not been

easy," Dutko said. "We're confident that

no department procedures were violated

and that this was just a tremendously

unfortunate accident."

Ten days after the fatal crash, Fort

Lauderdale Commissioner Carlton Moore

called for a community meeting with the

Police Department. More than 100 peo-

ple, including Les Perry, attended to

inquire about the circumstances of the

crash. Witnesses had estimated Young-

Tem's speed at about 70 mph. On

Wednesday, Moore said he was puzzled

by the outcome.

"Going 10 miles over the

speed limit does not tear

someone's leg from their

body and leave it 15 feet

down the road," he said. "I

find that very hard to be-

lieve."

Moore said he would hope

an officer would exercise

extreme caution in such a

pedestrian-heavy area, whether re-

sponding to an emergency or not.

"In pursuit of one to harm another is not

great policing," Moore said. Staff Writer

Brittany Wallman contributed to this

don't like to take showers," much less take showers with strange adults next to them, as they must do at the home-less shelter up the street. "The idea is to keep families intact, and let people preserve their dignity."

On any given night, about 6,200 people go homeless in Alameda County -- and about 16,000 experi-ence homelessness sometime in a year in the area.

Families make up 43 percent of the county's homeless population and children about 28 percent, Jackson said.

In some of those families the breadwinner lost his or her job and then fell behind on rent and was evicted. In other cases, families are

running from abusive situations at home.

The new shelter cost $11 million to build and was funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Ur-ban Development and Housing Oppor-tunities for Persons with AIDS pro-gram; the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency; the City of Oakland Community Development Block Grant program; the California Emergency Housing Assistance Pro-gram, and some private foundations, including StopWaste.org, the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund and Y & H Soda Foundation.

But inside that shell of the person are emotional and mental prob-lems that keep that person from living a normal life, as we would picture it. So we need to, somehow, let down our de-fenses and step into their world and see what makes them tick. I know we at the shelter have asked so many times for people to stop by and check us out. Actually we had even asked local neighborhood associations to meet with us in order to plan what would be good for the neighborhood, but nobody accepted the offer or chal-lenge if that’s how it was perceived. But see, that’s what I’m talking about...there has to be a working rela-tionship between everyone from day

one. This applies to families, neighborhoods, cities, countries...the entire world.

When Jesus was born, who came to visit Him? The Magi who were cultured and the shepherds who were so far the extreme. And when Jesus grew up, who did He spend His time with? The poor, the lowly, the needy. So maybe try to put yourself in another’s shoes and walk a bit and see if the shoes could be broken in to your feet so

they might be a little more comfort-able.

Remember: THERE, BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, GO I.

God bless us all! -Lois

cles that go fewer miles on a gallon to start with.

The reason is as clear as the air around you.

When cruising on the high-way, your car will be in its highest gear with the engine humming along at relatively low rpm's. All your car needs to do is maintain its speed by overcoming the combined friction of its own moving parts, the tires on the road surface and, most of all, the air flowing around, over and under it.

Pushing air around actually takes up about 40% of a car's energy at highway speeds, according to Roger Clark, a fuel economy engi-neer for General Motors (GM, For-tune 500).

Traveling faster makes the job even harder. More air builds up in front of the vehicle, and the low pressure "hole" trailing behind gets bigger, too. Together, these create an increasing suction that tends to pull back harder and harder the faster you drive. The increase is actually expo-nential, meaning wind resistance rises much more steeply between 70 and 80 mph than it does between 50 and 60.

Every 10 mph faster re-duces fuel economy by about 4 mpg, a figure that remains fairly constant regardless of vehicle size, Clark said. (It might seem that a larger vehicle, with more aerodynamic drag, would see more of an impact. But larger vehicles also tend to have larger, more powerful engines that can more easily cope with the added load.)

That's where those 54 cents a gallon estimate comes from. If a car gets 28 mpg at 65 mph, driving it at 75 would drop that to 24 mpg. Fuel costs over 100 miles, for exam-ple - estimated at $3.25 a gallon - would increase by $1.93, or the cost

of an additional 0.6 gallons of gas. That would be like paying 54 cents a gallon more for each of the 3.6 gallons used at 65 mph. That per-gallon price difference remains constant over any distance.

Engineers at Consumer Reports magazine tested this theory by driving a Toyota Camry sedan and a Mercury Mountaineer SUV at various set cruising speeds on a stretch of flat highway. Driving the Camry at 75 mph instead of 65 dropped fuel economy from 35 mpg to 30. For the Mountaineer, fuel economy dropped from 21 to 18.

Over the course of a 400-mile road trip, the Camry driver would spend about $6.19 more on gas at the higher speed and Moun-taineer driver would spend an extra $10.32.

Driving even slower, say 55 mph could save slightly more gas. In fact, the old national 55 mph speed limit, instituted in 1974, was a re-sponse to the period's energy crisis.

It was about more than just high gas prices, though. The crisis of the time involved literal gasoline shortages due to an international

embargo. Gas stations were some-times left with none to sell, and gas sales had to be rationed. The crisis passed, but the national 55 mph speed limit stayed on the books until the law was loosened in the 1980s. It was finally dropped altogether in 1995. (The law stuck around more because of an apparent safety benefit than for fuel saving.)

Despite today's high gas prices, don't expect to see a return to the national 55 mph speed limit. The law was unpopular in its day, and higher speeds have become so insti-

tutionalized that even the Environ-mental Protection Agency's fuel economy test cycle now includes speeds of up to 80 mph.

Driving 10 miles per hour faster, assuming you don't lose time getting pulled over for a speeding ticket, does have the advantage of getting you to your destination 50 minutes sooner on that 400 mile trip. Whether that time difference is worth the added cost and risk is, ultimately, up to you.

homeless advocates, police officers, Lake Eola-area business owners and even a homeless man.

The civil lawsuit, which is being watched by cities and home-less advocates across the country, pits the rights of the downtrodden against the government's right to regulate the use of public spaces.

Even away from the court-room, the issue will be hard to ig-nore. Orlando Food Not Bombs, one of two groups that sued the city over its 2-year-old feeding regulations, plans to feed the homeless outside the U.S. District Courthouse.

There could be a crowd; the building is only two blocks from the

city's largest homeless shelter. Many free meals banned The city regulations restrict

how many people can be fed in city parks, effectively banning any single group from holding large feedings more than twice a year.

City leaders said they have to balance the rights of the down-trodden against the need to protect parks. That's the argument they'll bring to U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell's Courtroom 5A on Mon-day.

"The plaintiffs only have to worry about espousing and demon-strating and projecting their political point," City Attorney Mayanne Downs said.

"They don't have to worry about the damage to the property, they don't have to worry about fami-lies that are disrupted, they don't have to worry about the burden on our primary downtown park. They don't have any of those other things to worry about, and we do."

Officials say Lake Eola Park, so important to Orlando's iden-tity that it's on the city seal, must be protected.

Advocates say they want the feedings in the park precisely because it is so prominent -- they want to bring attention to the issue of homelessness.

Enforcement on hold One person -- 21-year-old

Eric Montanez -- has been arrested for violating the ordinance, but he was acquitted by a jury last fall. The city has stopped enforcing the rules, pending the outcome of next week's trial.

Meanwhile, the weekly feedings by Food Not Bombs and First Vagabonds Church of God con-tinue.

"They have not missed a single feeding since the ordinance was passed," Dowd said. "They've been there, rain or shine."

Things We Need....... We are in desperate need of toilet pa-

per. Sometimes people do not like to donate money and would rather donate products. We spend anywhere from $1500 to $2500 a month on this product. It changes at different times of the year. We need this product donated as well as many other products. What some people have done was to set up food donation programs at the office or where they live. One lady last year made a little flyer and passed it out in her com-munity asking her neighbors to buy a little extra when they went to the store and then bring it to her house once a week. Her little flyer said, “When you buy that TP buy some for the homeless and bring it to me.” It was so nice to see her show up weekly with a truck full of supplies. She would bring her kids who were young like maybe five years old weekly. She would tell her kids little things like, “You see this food it is going to kids who don't have any snacks or food.” Once in a while her kids would be eating their own snack and they would come up to us handing their little half eaten snack and say “here give to peeeeopple who hungy.....” She was grooming them for a life of giving to others. It was the cutest little thing.

So today with no delay start a food drive at your church or office or even where you live, allow us to put your generous support in the form of smiles.
