A Trumped
light manufacturing use
loading facility for marine and
construction equipment was
proposed to the Planning and Zoning
Commission by applicants/property
owner, Powell Timber Company, and
proposed purchaser of the land and
business operator, Edward T. McCain, M
& M Electric Services Co., LLC., a Marine/
Heavy Equipment Construction business
to locate on property directly north of the
tracts on land serving the Orleck ship off
Enterprise Blvd.
African Americans from the 'North Lake
Charles' neighborhood opposed this
project and highlighted how the negative
impacts of the present salvage yards
and other industrial enterprises along
the riverfront affected the citizens living
there. They expressed how allowing
additional manufacturing/industrial uses
would show inconsistency with plans for
economic re-development in North Lake
Charles near the upgraded Enterprise
On January 14, 2019, members of the
Lake Charles Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 4-1 against the
project honoring the concerns of the
North Lake Charles citizens, and the
applicants, as were their right, appealed
the Commission's decision to the Lake
Charles City Council and it was scheduled
for February 20, 2019.
As I have mentioned before, I spent all my
school age years in what is referred to as
'North Lake Charles,' so I was determined
to attend that meeting and 'Voice' my
supportive vision of community to the

Williams in loving memory of L. C. Williams.
city council and our mayor, to uphold
the Planning and Zoning Commission's
vote of 4-1 against. Mr Geyen addressed
unbecoming comments made about
the Planning & Zoning Commission
members, and encouraged respectful
communication about them.
Doug Cook, white male with 34 years at
Powell Timber Company stood first and
said that this vision is "misguided" and that
the redevelopment we propose "will never
happen." I disagree totally.
African Americans from the 'North Lake
Charles' neighborhood including a family
of senior citizens living there since 1926,
were present. More opposition to this
project were 'Voiced', including Marshall
Simien, former District A City Council.
The city council was reminded of
their consistent support to 'South
Lake Charles' residents' concerns and
oppositions for their neighborhoods. (Ex.
Shell Beach Road – No Restaurant)
Three African American city council
members (two females and one male);
Mary Morris, District A, (where I grew up),
Luvertha August, District B and Council
Vice President, and Rodney Geyen, District
C, voted to uphold the Planning and
Zoning Commission 4-1 vote against.
Four white male city council members;
John Ieyoub, District D, Stuart
Weatherford, District E, Johnnie
Thibodeaux, District F, (speaking as my
voice from my district) Mark Eckard,
District G and Council President until July
2019, voted 4-3 and rejected the Zoning
Board and me!!
African Americans want to
participate in our city's political and
economic process, and still we are
told we are not going to help you!!

Tonja Phillips was born
Tonja Johnson and reared
in Lake Charles, LA. Tonja
loves to share her love of
the south and growing up
in the culture of the Bayou.
Her childhood was vibrant
and filled with family. Tonja's
household was Christian and
she and her siblings grew up
in the church. As a kid she would take her baby dolls and
draw make up on them with anything she could get her
hands on. It made sense that after finishing high school
at Washington-Marion High School, Tonja decided to go
to cosmetology school at Demmons School of Beauty.
She recounts loving the originality of the school and felt
the school didn't receive the proper acknowledgement it
deserved considering the amount of amazing MUA and
Hairstylists the school produced.

By Marshall Simien
Purpose of the LC North
Redevelopment Authority
This article was written by Marshall Simien, District A City Council 2009. It is being
reprinted in response to occurrences at a recent Lake Charles City Council meeting
on February 20, 2019. People perish without strong vision.
The Lake Charles North
Redevelopment Authority
has been created. It is
now up to the Board to be up to a
task that is both undeniably noble
and historically difficult. Some
feel the Board is unnecessary.
Some supposedly communityminded
folks are teeing up to
put in their potshots at this
Board. Naysayers will issue
invitations to dwell with them in
their bottomless pit of excuses
to fail. Yet others are genuinely
instilled with a sense of hope for
the better future that has eluded
this community until recently.
Some will enthusiastically offer
encouragement and, most of
all, prayers to uplift this Board
as it works. Still others are so
desperate for anything resembling
progress, this Board will do no
wrong. Such a broad spectrum.
What's up with that?
The Board must signal very
quickly how serious this
community is about its
redevelopment. Not only will it
weather storms on the horizon,
but also navigate icebergs hiding
in calm waters. This ship cannot
sink. The Board's purpose is to
work with government to deliver
services, develop, and redevelop
infrastructure, the backbone of
every community. It is to work
with private businesses to help

LAKE CHARLES-NORTH REPORT: Purpose of the LC North Redevelopment Authority
offer services and jobs to raise
community quality of life. Even
more important, it is to work with
the people to help build the many
bridges needed to cross that divide
and mindset that eats away at
real progress. To do so, it must
be focused, prepared, organized,
methodical and real about what it
can, should and must accomplish.
The mountain in front of this
community can be moved but only
by much faith and really hard work
– from EVERYONE!
Some people believe we have
been handed a lemon. So, let's
make lemonade. All you need is
a pitcher, some water, something
sweet, and something to stir it
up. The cupboard is not empty.
The pitcher is the people of this
community. Not only will they
contain, maintain, carry and hold
the progress of this community
in their hands, but they also
have the ability to tilt their base
beliefs and pour out refreshment
that can nourish growth and
redevelopment. They must be
cool as ice and be able to handle
the sweat and condensation that
comes from both outside and
within where there is growth and
progress. The bigger the lemon,
the bigger the pitcher!
Okay, what about water? There
is actually plenty of it. The lake
runs into the Calcasieu River which
runs into English Bayou which
runs into Kayouche Coulee. This
community is surrounded by some
of the most beautiful and pristine
waterbodies and wetlands in this
State. And guess what? There is a
way to tap into it. The North Lake
Charles Riverfront Parkway and
Redevelopment Plan is already
being implemented. Some believe
it only deals with development
of the riverfront area where the
Enterprise Boulevard Parkway
extension will be constructed. It
is much more comprehensive
than that. This Plan is for the
redevelopment of Lake Charles-
North in its entirety. It deals
with substantial infrastructure
projects, private investment to
develop much needed services
in the community, and housinghousing-housing.
The waterfront is
simply the most underdeveloped,
underappreciated asset in the
community. It, along with the
I-10 corridor and MLK Highway,
are the prime for the economic
development pump.
How about something sweet?
There is a 60-acre tract of land on
the north side of I-10 between
the Enterprise Boulevard exit
and Kirkman Street. Enterprise
Boulevard between Broad
Street and I-10 has already been
reconstructed. Texas turnarounds
will soon be constructed at the
I-10 underpasses on Enterprise and
Kirkman. At least one shopping
center developer has expressed
an interest in the area. How
sweet it would be if the various
property owners in that area came
together and parcel assembled
this property for future commercial
development? The same holds
true with the open areas along
Enterprise between Broad and
I-10. Would this Board be helpful
in facilitating common ground
between current property owners
first, and then between them
and potential future developers?
This Board can be an asset to this
community's future growth.
How about something to stir?
When communities develop,
usually housing comes in first,
then businesses and community
support services such as schools,
restaurants, medical centers,
retailers, etc. follow. Not with
redevelopment. Everything is
lifted up, just like everything can
be pulled down. This community
is home to a disproportionate
number of adjudicated properties
which remain out of commerce
because the cost of clearing
titles far outweighs the land's
value. What a stir it would create
if these properties could be
purchased, titles cleared, and
placed back into commerce
for newly constructed, owner
occupied housing and business
development. What would be
stirred? Homeownership, and
in particular pride of ownership,
brings stability, investment and
enhancement to any community.
When people own homes, they
become concerned about crime.
They want high performing
schools. They patronize
neighborhood businesses and
establish long term relationships
with service providers. When the
quality of life is uplifted, demand is
enhanced and property values rise.
Even rental properties are forced to
raise their standards. Recreational
facilities become social venues.
That certainly should whip up
something sweet. There is a thirst
out there. Let's quench it!!

The Gift
of Hair
Braylin Jenkins
Carol Brent is originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia
and began doing hair at age 14.
Brent became manager of Avery James
School of Cosmetology four years ago.
Hair has been her life. "I have the gift of
hair. "says Brent
Avery James School of Cosmetology was formerly
Demmon School of Beauty. The school was originally
established in 1955 and in 2015 it was purchased and
became Avery James School of Cosmetology.
Cosmetology life tends to
repeat itself. A hair style like
the 'jerry curl, or a flat iron
and straightening comb makes a
comeback.' A salon hairstylist knows
the differences between hair textures
and hair types. Brent's role is to
prepare stylists for those entry level
skills. It is with hands-on experience
that they become proficient and
get a true feel for what the hair
industry is like. Brent's job is to teach
professionalism and to ensure that
students pass their test.
Brent assists students in a multitude
of ways, including everything from
financial aid to personal, marital and
home counseling, etc...
While discussing trends, Brent shared,
"Alternative hair is a hot trend right
now, and is the most lucrative business
in generating more money. Braiding
hair and styling wigs can cost as much
as $300.00 each." It was interesting to
learn that four out of five people have
alternative hair and the average hair
stylist can earn from $40-$50,000 a year.
As a follow-up, The Voice of Southwest
Louisiana February 2019 Issue
highlighted Barbers and informed
our readers that the March 2019 Issue
would highlight Stylists. We asked
Brent how stylists are trained and what
types of equipment are used for the
different hair textures.
Brent shared insight by saying, "It was
about 20 years ago when different
hair textures, other than Caucasian
textures, were taught and included in
the curriculum across the board."
Avery James School of Cosmetology
assists each stylist with their job
placement following each student's
One thing to keep in mind regarding
salons and the hair industry is, if
schools or salons close, the need for
cosmetology will never die.

Chief Executive Officer
New to
It's one thing to see brick and mortar at 2000
Opelousas Street in Lake Charles, Louisiana, but it's an
entirely different perspective to get to know the people
who occupy the space and their stories. The Voice of
Southwest Louisiana was honored to have met two
women whose heart and careers have been focused on
ensuring the black community does well.
March 2019 WWW.THEVOICEOFSOUTHWESTLA.COM Volume 6 • Number 8
The Lake Area can now
be proud to know that
these two women are now
residents of Southwest
Louisiana and have brought
their skills, education and
experiences to the SWLA
Center for Health Services
implementing several
key adjustments and
changes that are already
significantly making the
community happier and
most importantly healthier.
Lead Healthcare
with Compassion
and Clarity
One of twelve girls, born and raised
in the San Francisco Bay Area,
JayVon Muhammad, the newly
named Chief Executive Officer at the
SWLA Center for Health Services, comes
from what she refers to as a challenged
family that faced numerous social and
economic challenges. Like many other
Black families in the early 1980s and
1990s, her mother, a fashion model,
struggled with a drug addiction, and her
father, in addition to being the manager
of Sly and the Family Stone, was a wellknown
'hustler' in the community. She
became a young mother in high school
which marked the beginning of her
journey to the SWLA Center for Health
Services. As a young mother with a GED,
training and experience she became a
midwife spending much of her adult
career in delivery with an attachment
to pregnant teens and working in
clinics; a strong believer of home birth.
Muhammad has five grandchildren of her
own, with most being home births.
After having her daughter, she became
a medical assistant and had the desire
to become a foster parent. She was 21
and there were only two homes in the
area that would take care of pregnant
teens. The region did not understand
why someone at her age would want to
become a foster parent and work with
teenage moms.
Working in two communities that
faced many challenges, one of them
being a historically black community.
Muhammad became a midwife and was
passionate about serving the people
who made a way for her. Her journey in
midwifery came with addressing many
of the disparities in pregnancy outcomes
for black women. Just as infant mortality
rates are a factor, maternal mortality rates
often go undiscussed.
In the United States, Muhammad
says, "Studies show that black
women are almost 4 times as
likely to die during child birth than
white women."
Muhammad was hired as the Maternal
Health Coordinator at a clinic in Marin
City, California. She set up a much needed
maternity program similar to one in the
community she grew up in. Muhammad
was later appointed CEO. She admits
she was afraid of the title and position
at first, but after much thought, she
recognized the opportunity to work to
influence health care for women. As C.E.O.
Muhammad was able to oversee dollars
associated with a variety of disciplines of
medicine. Typically, a black person may
get a position, but rarely can have the
opportunity to be most effective due to
lack of control over the money.
"Sometimes the challenge for
those who are trying to build in
the black community is lack of
resources. So, you might get a
position, but you don't get to have
control of the money. You don't
get to have control over what
programs you create, you have
other people in your ear telling
you from the outside in, what
they think the community needs,
sometimes just based on what
others think is important."
Six years later in 2019 Muhammad
relocated and joined the SWLA Center for
Health Services. Learning of Judge Gene
Thibodeaux and Milton Bellard's story of
opening the clinic confirmed everything
for her. "I have to do my part historically
to give because it couldn't have been
easy for two black men to declare I'm
going to open a clinic and then win
some resources," said Muhammad. She
expressed that she accepted this role
because of the similar stories between
the current and former clinic knowing
that she can potentially make a difference
for the betterment of our community and
its residents.
The second God send comes in
the form of Jessica Jolly, Chief
Operating Officer, hailing from
the Motor City, Detroit, Michigan. Early
on, Jessica was exposed to poor air quality
in her community leading her to be born
premature. Less than five pounds, Jessica
spent the first months of life in the hospital.
She suffered with severe asthma
and relied on her inhaler daily. Her
experiences led to her interest in the
health field. Her father who was a
teacher, instilled in her the importance
of education, however her health
condition caused her to miss up to 12
days of school each year and nearly
failing courses.
Volume 6 • Number 8 WWW.THEVOICEOFSOUTHWESTLA.COM March 2019 11
SWLA feature story
Initially Jessica thought she would
pursue a career as a pediatrician.
Jessica attended the University of
Michigan where she earned a full tuition
scholarship majoring in Psychology
and minoring in Spanish. Her course
changed after a professor told her she
didn't deserve to attend the University.
This serve as a springboard to explore
alternative options to pursue community
Jolly shared a pivotal moment in
her academic career that changed
her life's trajectory. Jessica sought
assistance from a professor who
she expected guidance and
support from. Instead she was met
with indifference and callousness.
"I thought he was going to be
very supportive. I attended office
hours to receive assistance. I was
there early and stayed late. "Do
you know what that man had the
nerve to tell me? He said, "You
don't belong, you don't deserve
to be in this class. Why are you
here?" That moment really shook
me because I deserved to be there,
I worked my butt off, I got full
scholarship and did everything I was
supposed to. I remember having
to go to the bathroom and take a
moment to regroup and think."
That moment in her life placed a new
objective before her to look at the
administrative side of health systems
and change the institutions who train
and develop our medical professionals. In
2007 Jolly met her first mentor, a highly
educated, strong, and compassionate
woman of color who showed her the
path to public health and giving back to
the community.
During her internship with Henry
Ford Health System, Jessica worked
with providers, staff, and patients to
significantly reduce the time for those
waiting for a bone marrow transplant.
When Jolly arrived, the wait was
anywhere from 12-24 months, if not
longer. With the new process in place
the wait time decreased to 30-40 days
changing those lives for the better. That
process has been replicated across the
Jolly knew health administration was her
niche, but she took a detour and became
a teacher for three years in honor of her
dad, a teacher.
Her most significant experience gained
came while teaching, kindergarten,
first grade and fifth grade in an
underprivileged community of Atlanta,
Georgia. School was the only resource
of their community. Jolly played many
roles as mom, nurse, grandma and
interacted with moms and their children
frequently. She even assisted in a dental
Many parents struggled with addictions,
poverty and lack of education. Jolly
felt these were the most life changing
opportunities for her to love on the
children and do what she could
for them. Reflecting back gets her
emotional just knowing how much
of a difference she was able to make.
Jolly shared her story of Jason, whose
character changed after having difficulty
with his teeth, later to learn he had an
abscess. This experience made her want
to go back to the medical field because
their were no clinics in the area for
Jason. Especially for him to access high
quality comprehensive health services.
Jolly had a diverse set of experiences
that formulated her passion for health
and health care. Her dad was diagnosed
with HIV and his near-death experience,
inspired her to join the AIDS Resource
Center of Ohio, a Ryan White federal
grantee clinic. Thanks to treatment he
is alive today. Jolly returned to Georgia
to work with the Emory University
Eye Center working to expand vision
services at eye clinics in the community.
She helped establish certifications at a
community-based hospital to adequately
care for stroke and hypertension patients.
She developed programs to assist young
people in middle and high school enter
the health field to give back to their
Hurricane Katrina put the city of
New Orleans in a unique position to
provide quality healthcare services.
This lead Jolly to accept a position at
Ochsner Health System in New Orleans.
After facing a situation where leadership
refused to see a grandmother and
granddaughter on the basis of their
insurance, she departed from the
organization. Her thought being how
could they turn her back on the very
people who make them money, but
yet the health system wouldn't see
them. Jolly accepted a position with the
Louisiana Department of Health Office of
Public Health where she advocated for
public health and access to health care
for vulnerable populations. This ultimately
led her the opportunity to work in Lake
Charles at SWLA Health Services Center
with JayVon Muhammad, CEO.
With shared and different focuses
and expertise, Muhammad and Jolly
plan to implement, grow, and expand
services for all four SWLA sites. Obstacles
in Louisiana particularly in the black
community include access to care, infant
mortality, chronic diseases, and HIV/STI
rates. They are focused on taking steps
beyond just plans and seeing how they
can translate those plans in a real way
to make change and create a healthier
Southwest Louisiana.
In an effort to raise more
capital for the clinic and make
the gymnasium profitable,
Muhammad has just made an
offer to a Development Director
March 2019 WWW.THEVOICEOFSOUTHWESTLA.COM Volume 6 • Number 8
whose sole job is to raise funding
for the clinic which would allow
for expansion of services that
goes beyond what a federal
grant allows. This goes back to
Muhammad's core desire for black
people to do well. She believes
that when black people do well,
everyone of all nationalities and
backgrounds benefits.
Jolly is currently focused on
implementing strategies that improve
the patient, employee, provider, and
commmunity experience.
The Voice of Southwest Louisiana
Editor-in-Chief Brenda Hill expressed her
appreciation to both women for sharing
their stories and allowing The Voice to
use their platform for purposes such as
these. It is no question why these two
women featured in this piece will carry
out both the mission and vision daily,
ensuring that patients no longer need
to wait outside earlier than necessary to
make sure they are seen. Nor limit hours
that make it more difficult for patients to
receive care. These are only a few of the
issues they have taken notice of and are
working to improve for the betterment of
our community.
If you are unfamiliar with the center's
history, SWLA Center for Health
Services is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
community-based organization that
was incorporated in 1978.

Also, to provide the highest quality
of health care that is essential to the
patient that reflects the essence of the
health care profession while aspiring
to eliminate all disparities in access to
healthcare. That is why we have sought
and have been accredited by the Joint
Commission of Health Care Organization
since 2006
Milton J. Bellard, a local community
advocate and organizer along with,
Judge Ulysses Gene Thibodeaux
organized and founded Bayou
Comprehensive Health Foundation
Incorporated in 1978. The goal was
to organize a community health center
that would diminish deplorable health
conditions for over 23,000 residents living
in the North Lake Charles area.
The corporation received twenty-five
thousand dollars in grant monies in
1981 which led to the opening of a
free-standing health clinic on Moeling
Street. Two physicians, Dr. Pamela Hollins
and Dr. Reginald Sykes were brought on
and supported by two clerical support
staff members and Mr. Bellard. It was
three years later that the clinic received
a Section 330 grant from the U.S. Public
Health Service to operate a federally
funded community health center (FQHC)
in the Southwest Louisiana region.
The Center has since grown from one
site with five employees to four facilities
operating; Lake Charles, Lafayette,
Crowley and Oberlin, Louisiana, nearly
two hundred employees with an annual
budget approaching $16 million, and an
aim to make sure their patient services
are coordinated across all four locations.
SWLA Center for Health Services
prides itself on the development and
implementation of services to provide
quality, cost effective comprehensive
primary health care and support services,

In Lake Charles, Chapter 18 meets monthly
on the third Wednesday at 11 AM. The
meeting place alternates between Lake
Charles Memorial Hospital and Christus St.
Patrick Hospital. Anyone interested in heart
disease or heart problems is welcome. Guest
speakers attend the meetings with information
pertaining to the heart. New discoveries in heart
health are discussed. Home health groups come
in to discuss what they have to offer the patients.
At the meetings healthy eating and exercise
are encouraged. New ideas and healthy recipes
are exchanged at the meeting A healthy meal is
served to members at all meetings.
Helen Budge has been a dedicated member
since her late husband, Ray had open heart
surgery. She is 91 years young and doesn't
suffer with heart disease. Helen is busy at the
bake sale fundraiser. Last year she baked 120 pecan
tarts. She enjoys the camaraderie of the group
and continues to work at educating others about
heart disease. She has served as both treasurer and
secretary. Helen received an award last November in
honor of her 21 years of service.
Mended Hearts members wearing red vests can
be seen in the halls of the hospitals. After surgery
Mended Hearts gives a certificate to patients with
the name of the hospital, type of surgery, name
of visitor chairperson and the visitors sign for
verification. If a patient is moved to rehabilitation
the doctor must give permission for a Mended
Hearts member to visit there.
They visit only with those cleared by their doctors
for their visits. Mended Hearts Visitors must be
certified to make these visits. To be certified the
visitor must attend a hospital seminar. It is also
required that they get their flu shots and be tested
for tuberculosis. Members receive the magazine,"
Heart Beat" and pamphlets that contain information
about new techniques and other helpful tips. Mended
Hearts members also take part in health fairs to offer
information and make the community aware of the
role they play in heart health.
Their red vests identify them as visitors. They
visit with patients awaiting open heart surgery to
put them at ease. They also speak with them and
their families after surgery. Joe and Elena Miller
became certified visitors twelve years ago right
after his open-heart surgery. Joe is now president
of the local chapter while Elena serves as secretary.
Theirs is a team effort. They visit patients and
families together. On their visits Joe tells patients
of his own personal experiences. Elena talks to the
caregivers about her experiences while she cared
for Joe after his surgery. Elena said preparing their
meals around Joe's diet makes her own eating
healthier. She too stresses exercising for a healthier
heart. She goes on to say;" It is rewarding to us
members to give back what we received."

"Building Wealth
Through Tax Planning"
By Kelly Love
Manager – tax services
J. Walker & Company, APC
Accumulating assets is
a lifelong process with
many considerations
and changes over time.
Basic principles involve
increasing income and
reducing expenses.
The following are
some suggestions for
reaching a more secure
financial future.
Make a budget that is
reasonable and that you can
live with, then stick to it. It
will take modification, but the
important thing is to begin.
Start with the fixed items such
as monthly income and set
expenditures such as rent or a
house payment. Next, review
discretionary items that you
have some control over. You
may control and reduce your
utility costs, dining out or the
all-inclusive cable television
package that you may not
really use. Review your
spending habits from your
check book, bank and credit
card statements to see your
actual activities. Consider
how you feel about those
expenditures and adjust your
lifestyle accordingly.
It's your life and your lifestyle,
consider what is important to
you. Reducing debt is better
than increasing income. An
increase in income involves
paying taxes on that revenue.
Reducing or paying off debt
does not involve being taxed
on the payment. Additional
principal payments on your
mortgage reduces the number
of years that you are in debt
and it saves on interest
payments. Examine your
mortgage, auto loan and other
loan statements. The early
years of the loan involve very
large payments for interest and
far less toward the principal.
Simply put, the bank makes
their money first. Paying down
in the early years is far more
productive than near the end
of the term. A dollar saved is
actually a dollar earned plus
the taxes you would pay on
that earned dollar.
When you receive a raise or
bonuses, consider saving them
and living on your previous
level of income. Living on
your previous salary over
the years can help attain a
rather painless accumulation
of wealth. Placing the
new-found income into a
retirement vehicle such as
an IRA or employer matched
plan is even more beneficial
as it may offer tax savings as
well. Compounding the effect
of saving funds, tax benefits
and a matching employer
contribution is a great way to
accelerate the accumulation
Review your prior years income
tax returns. Did you receive a
large refund or owe taxes?
A large refund may
be nice, but you
have really given
the government an
interest free loan to
use your money during
the year.
Consider adjusting your
withholding so that you do
not owe taxes but also so that
your refund is not too great.
Looking back on last year is
beneficial in planning for this
Jonald J. Walker III, CPA, CGMA
Kelly Love, CPA
Ming Yang, CPA
year particularly in the areas
that you can control such as
retirement plan contributions.
Consider the way you
think. Do you get excited
over a 20% discount on a
$50 expenditure? That's a
savings of $10. What about
a 5% discount on $200? Not
so much? It's the same $10.
Remember, you will never
save money if spending it only
for a discount. Consider the
purchase for its own merits –
were you going to make the
purchase anyway?

Basic Principles of Life
By Braylin Jenkins
Paul Charles began as a child growing small
gardens with his grandfather, which is where
he developed his green thumb, learning how to
grow and harvest a multitude of produce.
Before you begin, Charles says, "Having a soil test
known as the "pH" (a scale used in chemistry to
represent acidic, basic or neutral nature of solutions)
is most important to decide what will grow best with
the soil you have." The pH test can be done at your area
agricultural center.
High concentrations of nitrogen can alter growth
depending on what you plant and the time of year.
Personally, Charles avoids using heavy commercial
fertilizer by using rabbit and chicken manure to stay as
natural as possible.
The primary thing to take into consideration when
gardening after checking the soil is the weather. If
it's a rainy season it will be difficult to grow anything,
however if there's plenty of sun it's ideal for your crops.
Charles' grandfather based his gardening on the moon
and by seasons.
Leafy vegetables like mustard greens, kale, collards,
turnips etc. are best during the winter/fall phase. In
spring you cultivate your ground around February and
the season is great for underground vegetables like
potatoes are best. Around Good Friday, Charles plants
his okra, beans, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers.
Another factor to consider is the ground. If possible,
organic gardening is the best way to go, the natural
method of growing, without the use of chemicals.
Charles encourages you to consider gardening.
While gardening you have the opportunity to connect
and communicate with God and nature, relieve stress,
take your mind off any difficulties or challenges you
may be facing, and it can also be a great opportunity
to teach young people basic principles of life.

Peace from Pieces
By Carra Sergeant, Ph. D.; LPC-S
Licensed Professional Counselor
LADIES: Is He Mr. Right
or Mr. Right NOW?
I am not single. I am not taken. I am simply on
reserve for the one who deserves my heart.
OK, so you are officially in the
dating game, either as a firsttimer,
or as a returnee. It feels
both thrilling and terrifying at the same
time, doesn't it? If you are dipping your
toe into the dating pool as a first timer,
you probably have NO CLUE what to
run towards and what to run from. If,
however, you are just out of a marriage/
relationship, you probably have a more
clear view of what you are looking for in
a partner. You have been hurt, though,
so it is likely that you no longer trust your
intuition. Either way, you have decided
to send out the casting call for "Mr. Right."
At worst, you get a sense of what "not my
type" looks like, in the middle, you make
a few good friends, and at best, you find
the partner you have been looking for.
BRACE YOURSELF… I promise you that
this will be a total emotional roller
coaster ride, complete with exhilarating
hair-raising highs and painful stomachchurning
lows. Is it worth all that? Well,
since highs and lows are all part of
tapestry of day-to-day existence anyway,
wouldn't it be awesome to have someone
to partner with you through that
amusement park ride called life?
For a while, I recommend that you just
jump in and enjoy the ride. Relax, have
fun and savor every moment of the
dating process until you finally meet
someone that you enjoy being with. Over
time, you go on dates, sit close, kiss, hold
hands and one day it hits you: it's time to
decide whether this is someone that you
want to have in your life over the longhaul,
or whether this is just a time-filler.
Remembering that the operative phrase
here is "OVER TIME," what is your answer
to the question: Is he Mr. Right or Mr.
Right NOW?
Mr. Right makes you feel indescribably
giddy, fluttery and happy when you have
contact with him. You miss him when you
are not together, but still feel connected
to him. You feel emotionally safe, even
when he is not in your presence.
Mr. Right Now makes you feel
indescribably giddy, fluttery and happy
when you have contact with him. You
miss him when you are not together, but
his absence makes you nervous. What is
he doing? Who is he with? You do not feel
emotionally safe.
Mr. Right hangs on to your every
word. He remembers things that are
important to you, your birthday, favorite
movie, favorite food, etc. He is eager to
learn more about you and what your
life experiences have been. Likewise,
he shares these same things with you,
because he is equally eager for you to get
to know him.
Mr. Right Now hangs on to HIS every
word. He wants to be sure that you
remember HIS birthday, HIS favorite
movie, HIS favorite food, etc. He is eager
for you to hear about his life experiences.
Does he ever ask you about your life, your
interests, your passions and then LISTENS
when you respond?
Mr. Right freely shares his future hopes
and dreams with you. By doing that,
he opens himself up to criticism and
scrutiny but feels safe enough with you
to do just that. In the same vein, he
encourages you to share your hopes
and dreams and sincerely cares about
challenging you and supporting you in
pursuing those dreams.
Mr. Right Now does not even pursue any
discussion of "future" with you. You have
no real idea what direction he is heading
in and likewise, he does not know where
you are headed – because he has not
asked. Is it possible to have a future with
March 2019 WWW.THEVOICEOFSOUTHWESTLA.COM Volume 6 • Number 8
someone without knowing whether he
even has a direction?
Mr. Right is the one person who can
actually make you forget your ex. He
does not make the experience disappear
from your life, but Mr. Right can help
you not give a damn who you were with
before him. He can safely allow you to
talk about your pain and help you work
through the residual damage. The real
plot twist here, is that he allows you to
do the same for him.
Mr. Right Now does not care about any
previous pain you have endured. He does
not want to hear about it. He is THE ONE
in your life now and he is all that matters.
You should be happy that you were lucky
enough to find him because he, and only
he, can protect you from life.
Mr. Right is strong enough to take care
of you emotionally, and loving enough
to take care of you physically. This does
not mean that you cannot take care
of yourself, but a healthy relationship
requires that you allow someone else
in your personal space to support you
in moments that you feel emotionally
vulnerable or, are physically ill. You return
the favor because he will allow you to
support him emotionally and care for him
when he is physically ill.
Mr. Right Now is so needy that all
you have time to do is take care of his
feelings and his needs. Even if you start
to express your emotional vulnerability,
you will notice that, in short order, the
conversation will circle back to how he
feels and what he needs. He is not willing
to defer his gratification long enough
to truly care about your feelings or your
Mr. Right initiates communication with
you. It is not always your responsibility to
start the conversation. If you do initiate,
he takes time to respond even if he is
busy. Sure there are jobs that do not
allow time for long texts or conversations,
but, in this techno age, it takes about
a second to acknowledge you with an
emoji. He does not leave you hanging
all day and half the night.
Mr. Right Now does not reach out
to you. If you want to talk to him,
you have to call. If you text him,
he make or may not respond. If
you find yourself in the middle
of the endless loop of "why
doesn't he call >>>he's too
busy >>>why doesn't he call
>>>oh well he is busy," my
one word of advice is RUN!
Mr. Right lets you know how he feels. He
is comfortable enough with his emotions
to openly express them to you. There are
no secrets and your gut feels calm and
safe when you think of him. You know
that you are in his heart and that you are
an integral part of his life. You know his
friends, his family and all the stories of
his past. You fit…like pieces of a puzzle,
you fit.
Mr. Right Now treats you like his dirty
little secret. You have never met his
friends or family, and what do you really
know about his past? You feel uneasy
when you are together and sometimes
even catch him sneaking a side glance at
other women on the street.
LADIES, this is not an exhaustive list
but just a few things to watch for while
looking for the right one to spend your
life with. I am not trying to paint Mr. Right
Now as a bad guy. Mr. Right Now for you
may actually be the perfect Mr. Right for
someone else. Also know that dating Mr.
Right Now is not necessarily a bad thing
and you may learn a thing or two from
him. Remember, you gotta kiss a lot of
toads until you find your prince. I wish
you well and hope you find the great love
of your life.

ADVENTURES of the Lake
By Lela Gholar Tizano
Ethel was tired! Changing bedpans,
cleaning soiled linens, and dealing
with some of the meanest patients
at the nursing home had taken its toll on
her. One of the meanest ever was Miss
Rosie, at least that's what everyone called
her. But it was something about Miss
Rosie. In some strange way, Ethel felt a
connection to her. On her lunch break,
the two of them would sit on the patio,
many times in complete silence. But on
this particular day, Miss Rosie was very
"It sure is a pretty day today don't you
think, Miss Rosie?" Ethel asked cheerfully.
"Season about to change," she
"Yeah, I think so," Ethel said.
"How long you planning on breaking
your back here doing all this hard work?"
she asked, as she changed the subject.
"It's all I can do right now Miss Rosie. I
want to go back to school and get my
degree, but I don't have the money right
now. Until something better comes
along, you're stuck with me," Ethel
answered with a smile.
"Humph, if you ask me, I think you ought
to get away from here as soon as you
can," she mumbled.
"Miss Rosie, you trying to get rid of me?"
Ethel joked as she ran the brush through
Miss Rosie's silky grey hair.
Miss Rosie waved her hand like she was
shooing an annoying bug,"ain't nobody
trying to get rid of you." She was too
stubborn to admit she enjoyed Ethel's
company. She was the only one who ever
Later that night, Ethel sat at the foot of
her bed and massaged her aching feet.
She tossed and turned as Miss Rosie's
advice rang in her ears. Every word she
said was true, but the truth was not
comfortable for Ethel. Going back to
college would mean she would have to
work all day and take classes at night.
Her plate was already full being a single
parent. Then there was the money, the
biggest deal breaker of all.
"That's it," Ethel said to herself, "there's no
way, I can do it."
The next morning Ethel marched into
Miss Rosie's room to let her know that
she would not be taking her advice. The
room held an uncomfortable silence.
Miss Rosie's bed was stripped of its linen
and her things were packed away in the
The nurse walked in with an envelope
with Ethel's name on it. "Miss Rosie
passed away last night but she left this
for you."
Ethel steadied herself with the arm of the
chair and tried to gain her composure.
Through tear filled eyes she opened the
"Thank you for being so kind to me. Take
this money and go to college like I told
you," Miss Rosie had written on a small
slip of paper with a check inside.
Ethel reflected on their last visit together.
Truer words had never been spoken
when Miss Rosie told her "season about
to change."
That day Ethel's season changed. Because
of her encounter with a little old lady,
she was able to go college and get her
degree. She was forever grateful that she
took the time to reach out to someone
who needed a friend.

There was definitly a certain irony about reading that blog post yesterday, and my interest to bring it here. When I think of these non-geology types that dress this way I am forced to think of places like Boulder and Bozeman, for example.

Another important thing (if not the most important thing) to look for when choosing fabric for your clothing projects is the weight . Fabric weight means how thick/heavy a fabric is, and the weight you choose depends on what you are making and the feel you want for your garment. It's a personal choice, but it also has to be practical. The different weights can be referred to as top-weight, bottom-weight, very light, light, medium and heavy.

In the great city where he lived, life was always gay. Everyday many strangers came to town, and among them one day came twoswindlers.

Keeping only the clothes that give me a spark of joy has allowed me to relinquish items that I've been keeping out of one kind of guilt or another —that I bought something and never really wore it, because someone else gave it to me, or because it's wasteful to get rid of something that's perfectly 'good.'

Ageing, he thought, comes about because this developmental programme, this constant change, never turns off. From birth until puberty, change is crucial: we need it to grow and mature. After we ve matured, however, our adult bodies don t need change, but rather maintenance. If you ve built the perfect house, you would want to stop adding bricks at a certain point, Walker says. When you ve built a perfect body, you d want to stop screwing around with it. But that s not how evolution works. Because natural selection cannot influence traits that show up after we have passed on our genes, we never evolved a stop switch for development, Walker says. So we keep adding bricks to the house. At first this doesn t cause much damage a sagging roof here, a broken window there. But eventually the foundation can t sustain the additions, and the house topples. This, Walker says, is ageing.
This is very true. However being a person from the mountains in the west and now living in the city on the east. I don t feel as foolish wearing my ski jacket and hat when people are using umbrellas to cover themselves from the snow that never even sticks to the ground. You can spot the posers, but then again maybe I look foolish to them. But I still don t have to carry an umbrealla around wherever I go. FACE!
They're attracting all the investor interest because each company is trying to fill a void left by the big online retail incumbents. Though Amazon is deeply entrenched in almost every product category in e-commerce, and eBay rules resale, many consider fashion their most vulnerable segment, whether new or used. Amazon and eBay thrive as near-boundless vending machines, where customers search for anything and everything. Fashion is built on meticulous curation.
I agree with Tina. I would think that line drying vs. electric drying would not be enough to cause World War III on Jillee s very eye opening post. It s true that it saves a lot of money when you line dry clothing, but it is not always possible. Please think about things before you type/say them.arxesnusadu

De Magalhaes and Gladyshev are under no illusions about the arduous journey but they remain hopeful. History is full of claims by experts that certain advances are impossible, only to be proven wrong soon after, says de Magalhaes. Consider the state of medicine just 120 years ago, when some of today s bowhead whales were still in their infancy. Back then life-threatening infections were just a fact of life. Today, antibiotics are taken for granted as the most basic healthcare.

YES. I thought it was a waste of money until I tried my friends for the first time. It's amazing and it all comes out so easily. 10/10
Yes!!!! The only downfall is having to use a toilet that does not have a squatty potty.
I've been putting my feet on the seat for years
I haven't bought my own but there were a couple at my last job. I use a normal stepping stool at home to get the position. I find it almost impossible going back to the old way unless I really really have to go and there's not one available. I've tried tipping a trash can on its side to put my feet up. If I had my own house I would probably install a squat toilet instead of a traditional one.
The service provided by a squatty potty (i.e. elevating your feet so you're in a squatting position on the toilet) is ABSOLUTELY worth it. No...BEYOND WORTH IT. The posture makes such a world of difference I can't sing its praises enough. BUT, you don't actually need a squatty potty to achieve the exact same results. Do you have a small garbage bin in your bathroom? If so, it's the exact same height as a squatty potty. In this case, it provides dual function. It's right next to your toilet anyway, and you just pull it round when you need it, rest your feet on top, and move it back after you flush. If you don't have that kind of trash can (I suggest just getting one instead as it is cheap, inconspicuous, and dual-purpose), there are numerous other items that you likely already own that can also do the trick at no additional cost to you while providing another function (small cardboard box which can be used to store backup toilet paper rolls, etc.). But you don't need a squatty potty to achieve the superb results and feeling it provides.

Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi is the world's highest paid athlete, earning $127m (£99.8m) in the past 12 months, according to the Forbes top 100 ranking.
Juventus's Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo is second on $109m (£85.6m) with Paris St-Germain's Brazil forward Neymar in third on $105m (£82.5m).
Last year's highest earner, boxer Floyd Mayweather, has dropped off the list.
Serena Williams is the only woman in the top 100, earning $29.2m (£22.9m).
Five-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua are the highest earning British athletes, sitting at 13th on $55m (£43.2m).
The American business magazine calculated the athletes' earnings by adding up their prize money, salaries and endorsements between June 2018 and June 2019.
The top 100 includes athletes from 25 countries and their $4bn (£3,1bn) combined earnings are up 5% from the previous year when Mayweather was first with $285m (£224m).
The American boxer's only fight since August 2017 was an exhibition boxing bout against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December.
Athletes had to earn a minimum of $25m (£19.6m) to make this year's list.
Messi is only the second footballer to top the rankings after Ronaldo, and only the eighth different athlete to take the number one spot since the rankings began in 1990.
It is also the first time that footballers have ranked as the top three earners in sports.
Messi is one of 38 non-American athletes on the list, with 62 US stars in the top 100.
The NBA accounted for the most athletes with 35, with LA Lakers' LeBron James the sport's highest paid athlete in eighth on $89m ahead of Golden State Warriors pair Stephen Curry (9th on $79.8m) and Kevin Durant (10th on $65.4m).
