First our coaches pick two youth to be the captains for their team. Then the two that were chosen as captains, began to pick who they want on there teams. After that’s settled the game began. Some of the youth started off a little rough but after a few minutes they got it together. Both teams did an excellent job in sharing and having teamwork. They played hard but everyone had fun in the end.
After a while we have a break so that the kids can get refreshments and snacks. Currently we have had 64 youth that comes out and play Flag Football. I truly think we are off to a great start but an even better finish. We are going to have a wonderful season.

African American Women
in Civil Rights History
Sponsored by the ACLU
Overview
On June 25 2008 I attended a woman in civil rights lecture. At the very beginning, I was a little surprised because I expected the speaker to be African-American however that was not the case however she knew a lot about the subject she was speaking on. During her lecture, I was taken aback by some of the statements that she’d made. For example, she said that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not want to do all that he did. Instead she’d said that Coretta Scott King convinced him to accept his responsibilities. I was also shocked at how the speaker was so convinced that a student would be better off attending a community college for their first two years. The speaker also thought that college credits from any community college would transfer to all major colleges, and I found that hard to believe.
On other terms, I was surprised at the amount of women that participated in the civil rights movement but were not recognized. I was proud that I was able to identify a few of the women such as Mary Church Terrell, Ida B. Wells, and a little girl named Ruby Bridges. Listening to this lecture made me want to go out and learn more about the roles that women have played in history.

The CPR Overview
Today was one of my favorite days out of my first week of working. We got to take a CPR class. I learned what CPR stands for, CPR stands for Cardio, Pulmonary, and Resuscitation. It’s kind of long but you might need to learn that one day. We learned how to perform CPR on adult, kids and infants. You are only supposed to use this when the person can’t breathe or has passed out from choking. We also learned that you just can’t go up to someone if they are injured you have to go through certain procedure. First check the scene to see how the person got injured. Then you go tap the person and ask them are they alright. Then you tell someone to call 911. After that if they are not breathing then you perform CPR. This is why I had fun on this day.

The Fourth District Police Meeting

Wednesday June 25, 2008
At the meeting on Kinsman there were a lot of issues. A lot of bad things are happing in our neighborhood but some good things are happing to. The police department has a meeting the third Wednesday of every month. We had the opportunity to hear and expressed many of the issues we are faced.
Commander Roy Rich of the Forth District Police Department was talking about how the people were doing robberies in the neighborhood. For example the Broadway Diner got robbed and the Bp gas station on
There also was a detective of the fourth district that started talking about this thing called Court Watch. This is when you could attend a person’s court trial and sit there and listening and better understand the legal proceedings that take place. They were looking for people to come in and want to join the Court Watch program.
The meeting was also about making a difference in the community, so if you had any questions or concerns you could tell the commander the problem. They would come up with an action plan to get the guns off the street and everything.
That is what happened in the Fourth District Police Community meeting.

CPR/AED Class
June 2008
Overview
On June 26, 2008, I attended a CPR class along with four others. I learned a lot that day, and in the end it led to me being certified in CPR and AED. At first, I thought CPR would be extremely easy, but when we practiced it, it was way harder than it appeared. The easiest way that the instructor taught us was by telling us the CHECK, CALL, and CARE method. We first have to CHECK the area to see if it is safe to approach the person. Once the area had been announced safe, we then must proceed in and CHECK the person to see if they’re okay. If their not conscious, then we assign a specific person to CALL for an ambulance. While the ambulance arrives, we then must CARE for the person by performing CPR and AED if needed.
During the CPR class, we learned the different methods to use when dealing with an adult, a child, or an infant. When performing CPR on an infant, you use fingers instead of your hands. Also, when checking to see if the infant is okay you tickle his/her foot. In addition to CPR, we learned what to do in a situation in which someone is choking. We learned the proper way to perform the Heimlich maneuver on an adult, a child and an infant. I found that performing the Heimlich on an infant was the most difficult of all that we’d learned that day. I did perform correctly, but I was nonetheless nervous because an infant is so tiny and fragile. You have to hold his/her head in the correct manner while also supporting the neck. It was tough to do, but it was also possible.
Lastly, we learned how to use an Automated External Defibrillator, and AED. I found the process of this very simple- yet important-, and I felt accomplished knowing that I was certified in using one. Overall, I found this CPR class very informative and extremely worthwhile. In two years, I look forward to renewing my certification so that I can stay knowledgeable and informed on CPR and AED.

The Neighborhood Connections Celebration
On June 22nd The Neighborhood Connections Celebration was held at Greenhouse and it was fun. When we first arrived we were greeted by Ms. Lewis. Many groups were there and a majority of them set up their own booth. Representatives form the Cleveland Museum of Art was also there promoting the opening of the gallery for the first time in a few years. There were performers of all kinds and each one was interesting in its own way. There were many different kinds of talent from African dance, to cheerleaders and even martial arts. Many people came to help support the celebration and it was a good event to show the African American culture. Someone was even there making balloons. I had a good time at the Neighborhood Connections Celebration.

Ward 2 Ward Club Meeting
Overview
On June 24th, I attended Ward 2 ward club meeting, and I was a bit shocked at how few people were there. When I arrived, I expected the room to be full of people, but I was wrong. At the meeting, everyone presented their old business as well as new business. I was allowed to tell of the tutoring program with KNOWLEDGE Youth Organization. I found the format of the meeting interesting.
The best part of the meeting, in my opinion, was when a lady told of how she and her husband had to personally remove prostitutes from off of their street. It takes a lot of courage for someone to try and keep their community clean by themselves. Also, I enjoyed the bravery of Ms. Bell. When she told of how she approached the teens that had been disrupting their community clean- up, I was surprised because it could have been dangerous for her.
I like the feeling of being at these kinds of meeting because it makes me feel important and involved. Also, I feel informed when I hear everything that’s going on, and I look forward to hearing more.

Tutoring Class
First Day
Overview
On June 30 2008, we held our first tutoring class here at the Union Miles Development Corporation. Unfortunately, there were only three people present. At the start of the class, I passed out the tutoring applications so that the parents could sign them while they were present. Once all the applications were turned in to me, I gave the students their first assignment. They were each required to take an assessment test so that I could identify some of the things that they knew how to do as well as those things that they did not. I was surprised to see that Richard, my eleven year- old student, received the highest mark. He seemed to be very knowledgeable and eager to learn. He also read very well.
In addition to the assessment test, I had the students work on a multiplication chart. I found two of the students knew their basic multiplication (all the ones through the nines) when writing it on paper. However, when asked to do a problem in their head (such as 6x4) they couldn’t figure it out. Also, the youngest girl didn’t know any of her multiplication. So, I showed her all the zeroes, ones, and the twos. Then, I gave each student a row of multiplication to study based on the ones they didn’t know. I also gave the students a math worksheet on place value, which they all completed in class.
Towards the end of the class, I gave the students a story, and we read it aloud in class. I found it interesting listening to the students read. Lastly, the students and I had a mini spelling bee. I quizzed the students aloud on a variety of words to find out what level they were on. I think the students had a good time with the spelling bee even though the young boy said he couldn’t spell very well. Overall, I would say that the first day of tutoring, for age’s seven to eleven, went well.

Daynas First Day Overview
On June 19th, I became a part of K.N.O.W.L.E.DG.E. Youth Organization. My first day, I was asked to perform various tasks. I enjoyed coming because it gave me a feel of what it would be like to perform in a real life office job. Also, I got the feeling of being part of a team because everyone contributed to help get the job done.
We also had a talk on my first day. I enjoyed this talk because I learned something fro it. It was fun to be able to talk, learn, and work all at the same time. I also appreciated everyone’s positive attitudes. It’s nice to come into an environment in which everyone is courteous and respectful towards each other. Also, I am glad to be a part of a community in which I can contribute to while also being able to take something from it; knowledge, experience, and new friends!

Foodbank Work Shop
On
My favorite part of the Foodbank workshop was when the chefs were cooking in front of us. They made a tuna salad and it was really good. This was the first Foodbank meeting that I have attended and there were a lot of people there. From what I could see everyone was having a good time and enjoying themselves. At the end of the workshop there was a raffle. They were giving out gas cards, boxes of tuna, cooking supplies, and cookbooks. I had a good time and I learned something so all in all the Foodbank Workshop was a success.

The etiquette class and ball was a great experience. I learned a lot about American etiquette rules and I realized that my etiquette skills were decent, but not as good as I thought. I also had the chance to meet many successful people including surrounding councilmen’s, judges and even Judge Hatchet from the TV show. They gave good advice on keeping your goals and staying focused. The Union Miles Development Corporation Annual Fundraising Dinner Dance and Ball were phenomenal! When we walked into the ballroom with the tables I felt like I was in some type of movie. The room was so elegant and it was exciting to look at. Everyone there was dressed beautifully in their evening attire. The recipient of the award this year at the Union Miles Development Corporation Annual Fundraising Dinner Dance and Ball was Judge Pianka of the housing court. I have never experienced anything like that before and I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for the K.N.O.W.L.E.D.G.E. Youth Organization to attend the Union Miles Development Corporation Annual Fundraising Dinner Dance and Ball. Special thanks go out to the Executive Director Debra Prater for allowing KNOWLEDGE Youth to attend. I would also like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Harvey for teaching us such wonderful etiquette skills, and also I would like to thank Ms. Kimberly Taylor of “Men With a Purpose” who donated some very elegant gowns for us to wear to the Union Miles Development Corporation Annual Fundraising Dinner Dance and Ball and John’s Towing Company for donating our table. K.N.O.W.L.E.D.G.E. has achieved a lot. Thanks Mrs. Hood for being our mentor and to all that supports our goals in life.

On 2/26/08 myself (Ariel Marbury) and Brittany Blanks gave a speech about our views on poverty at Trinity Cathedral. We had about one day to prepare for it and as the time got closer I think we both got a little nervous. When we arrived at the Cathedral we practiced for a little bit and not too long after that the people began to pour in the room. There was a great turn out, and the audience was filled with people from all parts of Cleveland,

The employment vendors included UPS, Fed EX, the Cleveland Public Library, ITT Technical Institute, and several others. These companies allowed the young citizens to fill out applications for employment, accepted resumes, and in some cases arranged appointments for interviews.

Many of the area high school students and their parents were in representation at the Job Fair. The Job Fair was a fine example of focused teens coming together for a common cause. It further proves that the need for employment among these young adults is vast and that, when given the opportunity, they are willing rise to the occasion and participate in events such as these to fulfill their needs and accomplish their goals.
Mr. Ali Boyd, Branch Manager of the Union Branch Library, was presented a plaque from the K.N.O.W.L.E.D.G.E. Youth Organization for his tireless dedication to the youth in our community. Special thanks go to the Union Branch Library employees for their support and volunteerism. Thanks for a job well done.

Calvin Terrell Guest Speaker
The unity meeting at
Mr. Terrell also talked about prejudice. He defined prejudice as something deeper than race, but something that is in every second of everyday of our lives. He talked about how it affects us and we don’t even realize it. Things that you hear everyday, people talking about heavy set people, all models are bulimic, and things of that sort all stick in your mind and you carry those thoughts with you. He claims that this is the reason teen violence or any type of intentional violence happens because of prejudice. The only way to get rid of prejudice is to talk to people and discuss the cons of prejudice and what it means.
In conclusion this was a very inspirational presentation. He talked about getting to the core of the problems in the schools, instead of severe punishment the counselors and/or teachers should listen and work with the students. Prejudice was also discussed as the main reason for problems in our schools, communities, and nation all together.

On January 16, 2007 Joyce Hood and I (Ariel Marbury), along with a few other members of the K.N.O.W.L.E.D.G.E Youth Organization attended a Black on Black Crime Inc. meeting in
The meeting began with the discussion of the red light cameras in the
However, the petition was denied. The Law Director claimed that the whole ordinance was not attached and also that two residents that signed the petition were questionable. To sign the petition you must be a registered voter, and a resident at the time you sign. The Law Director said that these two individuals did not have all the qualifications to sign. Supposedly this statement made by The Law Director was false. Either way the petition was not recognized because of these faults. The solution to this caused a debate with council and members. Some wanted to just redo the petition and get more signatures. Doing this would be cheaper and easier than the first time because now the petition would only need to include 15 percent of about 2000 because only 2000 people voted in the last election. This would come out to about 300 signatures. They would also make sure everyone who signs is a resident and a registered voter by checking the registry. This way they cannot question the validity of the petition. The other solution would be to just hire a lawyer and fight it. Some of the members thought this would be more convenient and effective. Nonetheless it could also take more time and money than they can spare. After consideration the committee decided to go with the first option, which was to get the 300 signatures and just be more careful whom they let sign the petition.
In my opinion if they are going to have these red light cameras they need to fix the cameras so that they are not faulty. The money could be used to help the schools educate the students, hire more police so that crime rates can go down and property values can increase or even help out the people who live on the streets. There are many things this money could be used for but sadly it sits there with the potential to do well but no one realizes it or they are just too selfish to care.
Now that this issue was settled it was time to discuss the fundraising dinner. There would not be enough time or energy to focus on both issues at one time so they decided to handle the fundraiser and after that get right back to the petition. The first annual DAB is open to all people. It’s on March 29th from 7-11pm. For location and ticket information you can contact the president Ernie Harris at (216)-255-0645On January 14, 2008, Joyce Hood and a few of the core members of K.N.O.W.L.E.D.G.E. attended the The African American Cultural Garden meeting. At this meeting many things were discussed and a lot of networking took place. It was my first meeting so some things I was able to follow and other things I did not really understand. The meeting started out with a short discussion on the recent movie “The Great Debaters.” The committee and others seemed to think it was a very inspirational movie with a great message. There was also discussion on the Kwanza Event that the AACG presented. It was said to be a success over all. There was a pretty nice turn out with about 350 people in attendance. Some things such as decorations being set up on time and the limited amount of volunteers were a problem for some of the committee members. One member also mentioned that the number of people that attend these events should be carefully counted, and that surveys should be given out.
The African American Cultural Garden was also discussed. They are in need of more youth envolvement. The youth would be able to be purchase a membership at a lower cost then the current $15.00 fee. There had to be a motion made because of this. The motion ended up being that children can have a membership and the youngest age allowed to participate would be eight. However, starting at the age of twelve there would be a membership fee of 5 dollars.
Lastly, there were many upcoming events that were discussed. Events such as the Annual Commemorative Program in honor of Dr. martin Luther King Jr. on January 21st at the Martin Luther King Jr. Branch Library, a college fair at the Union branch of the Cleveland public library on February 21st and the Flag Raising over City Hall on February 2nd. Overall I would say that the meeting was ok and many things were discussed and decided upon. There didn’t seem to be a lot of organization to the meeting. My motto is the more organized you are the more you can get done. However, the meeting was productive and I did enjoy this experience.
My point of View,

Michael Ruff said he see a whole bunch of youth who is crying out for attention and love. He also said a lot of children he had talked to had a lot of family problems, if your poor you have no voice, no matter if you are black, white, Mexican, or any other nationality. Many people had the opportunity to voice their opinions on the conditions and mindset of the youth in our community.
I’m still left with one question. Why can’t the older people stop trying to fix new situations with old resolutions? Perhaps if the adults would allow the youth to become a part of the planning process working together,

Farm Bill: UPDATE November 2007
Congress continues to work on the 2007 Farm Bill, which will authorize and fund federal nutrition programs. One program in the Nutrition Title of the Farm Bill, The Emergency Food Assistance Program (“TEFAP”), is vital to the Cleveland Food bank, hunger centers from USDA. This program accounts for food available has declined substantially. In the last five years,
In late July, the U.S. House of Reprehensive passed its version of the 2007 Farm Bill (H.R. 2419) with TEFAP funding at $250 million per year and annual indexing for inflation. Initial drafts of the Senate Farm Bill in late October indicated that TEFAP may be sending out information on the House version. We’ll be sending out information on the state of the Farm Bill as quickly as we can. In the meantime, stay informed and take action by visiting www.hungeactioncenter.org.
Finally, many thanks to the 138 people who signed “Farm Bill Facts” nutrition labels at the Agency Recognition Event on October 18th. We delivered all of these labels to Senator Sherrod Brown’s local office with photos and an explanation of your tremendous outreach on the Farm Bill!
