HAPPENINGSCOMMUNITY

By Farrell BrownSpecial to Urban Pro Weekly

AUGUSTAFor the 20th straight year, the Lucy

Craft Laney Museum of Black History and Conference Center will host its annual summer camp this May and June.

“All of our programs are focused on children because Ms. Laney’s legacy demands that we do so,” said Christine Miller-Betts, Executive Director of the Laney Museum.

The camp began in 1995 as an after school program complete with tutoring, writing practice and fun research proj-ects. The camp was a way to put a focus on kids in the area. As time progressed and more families relocated to different areas, the after school program eventu-ally turned into a summer camp with art classes and field trips.

“Twenty years; it doesn’t feel like that long,” Betts said. “It’s been so much fun. When I first started, I was basically by myself. I’ve enjoyed working with the young people so much just observing how their skills developed and that kind of thing. It’s so fascinating to watch them grow in all of the areas of study. I love it.”

The program will run for two weeks. It will begin on the last week of May

20 Years of the Laney Museum Annual Summer Camp

The Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History and Conference Center will host its annual Summer Camp the last week in May and the first week in June of this year. Students grades 2-8 will take part in a variety of activi-ties that are designed to further their understanding of the cultural and artis-tic side of Augusta. One of the hallmarks of the summer camp each year is when students learn sign language.Professional artists will be brought in to work with the students each day on different projects that they will showcase at the end of the week. Students will also have guests speakers to include a representative from the Savannah River Ecology Lab. For more information about the summer camp please call 706-724-3576; 706-724-2866.

and end on the first week in June. The camp will be for elementary and middle school children from second grade to eighth grade. Tuition for the program is $125 per week. Scholarships, up to the full amount, can be applied for at the museum.

During the program, the children will be taken on trips to Augusta-Richmond County Public Library, the Morris Museum of Art, Redcliffe Plantation, the Augusta Canal, the Augusta Mini-Theater and Television Park.

“We want to expand their awareness; not only on the legacy of Ms. Laney but also to develop more expertise in the arts, history and the process of preserva-tion,” said Joyce Law, Program Manager for the Laney Museum.

The program will also feature art classes with professional artists, speak-ers, an etiquette class and a sign lan-guage class.

The program will also try to teach the importance of preserving histori-cal landmarks, Betts said. The summer camp will also have a trolley tour for the children to teach them about the old Laney Walker District.

“We go into the community and we see these old houses that have fall-en down,” Betts said. “Some of them will be restored. They’ll learn what it means to restore these houses, histor-ically.”

The Laney Museum puts on numer-ous other events throughout the year including an Annual Black History Quiz Bowl, a monthly Senior Luncheon and Storytelling with Santa. The Museum also hosts multiple art classes through-out the year. More information on the

event schedule for the Laney Museum can be found on its website and a news-letter released bi-monthly.

The Museum recently hosted a free college seminar for Alabama A&M University on May 7. Alabama A&M sent

a recruitment group to the museum for the seminar. Prospective Alabama A&M students in the area were invited to and fill out applications which were evaluated before the recruitment team left town.

AUGUSTAFor the last 10 years, Gregory Downs

has worked as a Library Assistant at the Diamond Lakes Library. Aside from the responsibilities of his job, Downs has felt that it has been his calling to counsel anyone, of any age and background, who he felt was in need. As a result, this year, the library has recognized him as the Mentor of the Year.

“Truly I believe it’s life’s calling,” Downs told UPW. “When someone is hurting and having problems and if I can help, I believe it’s my calling to help them in whatever way I can.”

Downs, originally from Philadelphia, grew up “on the streets” and was a member of the 56 Lands Down Sioux Nation gang. He moved to Augusta in 1981 for family reasons.

“I grew up in the streets of Philadelphia in a gang doing a lot of the wrong things,” Downs said. “God just kept a watch on me and kept me out of trouble and kept me from getting killed. I thank God for that. So anything I can do to give back is what I will do.”

Since moving to Augusta, Downs has worked in a multitude of jobs — “everything from a cook to a con-struction worker.” Being an ex-high school basketball referee enabled him to also work at Diamond Lakes Park as a referee for both football and basketball. He also works with his church, Word of Deliverance Ministry.

Downs explains why he is more committed to counseling now than ever.

“I had a couple that came in the

his job never ends.“Some of my co-workers call me

‘The Counselor’ because I’m here counseling people and talking to them,” Downs said. “I go all out for the children; but it’s grown folks that come, too.”

According to Downs, some of these people I don’t know and can’t call them by name, but they just come to me and they open up.”

And how. The subjects are broad.“It could be marital problems or

something about The Bible; it could be something happening in their household or something that hap-pened to them out in the street,” Brown says.

Downs thinks he wouldn’t be kept so busy counseling youth if the local government would provide more part-time jobs and recreational activ-ities, especially during the summer months.

“What are we doing to keep them educated, to keep their minds func-tioning, to keep them just construc-tively doing something.”

UPW congratulates Gregory Downs for a job well done.

library and they had been physically abusive to each other,” Downs said. “She came in just to talk to me. I talk-ed with her. The husband came in and I talked with him. I didn’t know what to say to them. I didn’t know what to tell them other than ‘You’re a man. You shouldn’t be hitting on a woman, but a woman shouldn’t be hitting a man either.’ I talked to them and prayed with them and invited them to God. That kind of let me know then that that’s what I should be doing.”

Working with kids, however, is his

special talent. He attributes his abili-ty to relate to the kids he helps as the main factor in his success with them. He feels that it’s important to stay in contact with the kids he mentors.

About being named Mentor of the Year he says, “It’s always nice to be recognized for what you do. That’s always a good feeling. But the best feeling is the results I get from one of my children that come back and say I helped.”

Downs also gives advice to adults and says he’s always been someone his peers came to for help. He says

Library employee Gregory Downs was recently recognized as the 2015 Mentor of the Year:“Anything I can do to give back is what I will do.”

Medical Associates Plus (MAP) is a state of the art Federally Qualified Health Center. The Organi zation received the designation from the United States Department of Health and Human Services in 2007, the first in Augusta. The team of Physicians, Physicians Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, and supporting staff offer a multitude of services vital to healthcare

for South Augusta and the surrounding area. The Organization is fully committed to improving healthcare in Rural Georgia.

With the average female in the United States having an aver-age height of 5’4” (accord-

ing to the CDC), Richmond Academy track and field athlete NaTosha Jordan could easily leap right over the heads of most of the women in this country – with about four inches to spare.

On Friday, Jordan achieved one of the best high jumps in the state with her clearance of the jump bar at 5’ 8” during the GHSA Girls State Track & Field Championships, held in Albany, Georgia at Hugh Mills Stadium. Her accomplishment was the winning high jump in Class 5A, garnering 10 points on the scorecard. In addition to the state championship, Jordan was also awarded “Best High Jump Performance of All Classes” at the finals meet.

“I felt relieved a little bit after winning,” Jordan told UPW. “I had wanted to win state since freshman year and it was one of the goals that I finally achieved!”

Richmond Academy track coach Peaches Stephens, who has coached Jordan since her 9th-grade year, has watched the young athlete transform into an athletic powerhouse.

“As a freshman, she was still a little new to her events,” Stephens shared. “Track competition requires a great deal of skill, and for NaTosha, that

often meant getting more training than her more experienced team-mates.”

That additional training paid off for Jordan.

“Although she was apprehen-sive at times, she trusted the slight adjustments I suggested as a coach,” Stephens expressed. “That is a qual-ity coaches love, especially college coaches.”

Jordan’s accomplishments at the GHSA state meet went beyond just the high jump championship. She also placed 4th in the 100 meter hur-dles finals (with a time of 14.86) and 3rd in the 300 meter hurdles finals (with a time of 45.01, a new personal best record).

It was an inspiring event for Coach Stephens. “It’s been exciting to see Tosha continue to grow into what I refer to as a tracklete,” she said. “She came to the Academy of Richmond County with tremendous natural ability, but she has worked hard to improve technique and skills.”

The rising track star, who is a junior student, now holds the Richmond Academy school record in the 100 meter hurdles, the 300 meter hurdles and the high jump. She is ranked number one in the state (across all classes) for the high jump and has the 7th best high jump in the nation with a height of 5’9”. There is also an effort underway to have a high

jump of 5’10” that Jordan cleared in a dual meet last March, to be added to her personal record for recruiting purposes.

Jordan became interested in track competition during her middle school years.

“My gym teacher wanted me to try it, because she thought I’d be good at it,” Jordan said. “I tried it, liked it and I didn’t want to stop. I enjoyed competing and being on a team made it fun. I was drawn to the high jump because it was so different than run-ning.”

The bright-eyed, somewhat intro-verted, track champion with the bril-liant smile feels in total control on the track field – and prefers for her actions to speak of her accomplish-ments, rather than endless banter without actions.

Her pre-meet prep routine is basic – lots of carbs (usually pasta) the night before and plenty of water to hydrate the body. “I don’t think about the track meet too much. I stay relaxed and rest up my body. Right before the meet starts, I try not to talk to my teammates too much, so I can stay focused. I tune out and play music.”

Her focused routine has worked so far. It is all preparation for the next phase of her mission.

“I hope to achieve more goals in my senior year,” Jordan revealed. “Most importantly, after being so close, I

Richmond Academy high jumper wins state titlewould like to finally break the high jump record for the state of Georgia.”

Coach Stephens is fully confident that her “tracklete” can pull it off.

“It made me very proud to see Tosha reach her goal of being a state champion,” Stephens expressed. “It’s exciting to know she has another year in high school to reach other goals. She just needs to compete as much as possible!”

That realization of the need to compete even harder is embraced by Jordan. Her summers aren’t spent goofing around like many of her high school peers, but that time is ded-icated to training - fine-tuning her jumping and running skills. When she does have some downtime, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, going swimming and watch-ing movies.

College is also on Jordan’s mind and she hopes to be offered a track scholarship from one of her favorite schools. “Yes, there are a few col-leges I would like to attend, such as the University of Central Florida, University of Miami, Texas A & M and maybe Florida State.”

Coach Stephens has high expec-tations, based on the accomplish-ments that Jordan has implemented so far. “I look forward to watching Tosha compete at the collegiate and elite levels! I’m certain she has the ability!”

COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION OF RICHMOND COUNTY

By: Dr. Angela D. Pringle, Secretary

By Corey Washington

May 11th 1970 is a day that will live in infamy here in the CSRA.

Forty-five years ago on that day, riots broke out over the police cover-up of the death of 16 yr. old Charles Oatman. Oatman was a mentally dis-abled boy being detained in the adult jail for murdering a young family mem-ber.

Oatman died in police custody. Initially, the police said that Oatman died as a result of falling from his bunk bed. However, city councilman Grady Abrams described the wounds on Oatman’s battered body that con-tradicted that account. According to Abrams, there were cigarette burns, deep gashes and a crushed skull.

After Abrams broadcast his findings over his radio show, the police changed their story. Next, they said that adult inmates caused the injuries. However, there was no explanation as to how Oatman could have sustained such injuries while being under the care and supervision of the Augusta Police Department.

Any of this sounds familiar? It should. The death of Freddie Gray, the

25-year-old Baltimore man who also died in police custody, has yet to be properly explained. Initial leaked police accounts hinted that Gray injured himself in the back of a police van even though he was shackled. The narrative floated by police was that Gray somehow severed his own spine and crushed his own larynx while thrashing about in back of a police van. This, despite video evidence that clearly showed a distressed and injured Gray begging police for medical treat-ment as he was tossed into the back of the van.

Just as people were outraged in Augusta over the ridiculous narrative of the police, the people of Baltimore were not buying it. And just like in Augusta, the riots and mayhem com-menced.

There is a common narrative here. These riots always seem to follow mis-steps by the police. All that people want from those in authority is to be told the truth!

Rather than attempting to deceive

the public, those who appear to be guilty of wrong doing should immedi-ately be place on leave and an investiga-tion launched.

There are other similarities. During the Augusta riots, police

deemed it open season on black men. Six black men were murdered in cold blood. All were shot in the back by police-issued shotguns. Some attribut-ed the deaths to citizens protecting their stores. Even though some officers were charged, they got off.

Looting or curfew violations should be penalized by deadly force. Multiple accounts exist of innocent bystanders being shot by the police.

Any of this sound familiar? It should. In North Charleston, S.C., Walter

Scott, an unarmed black man, was murdered by a local police officer.

However, unlike the deaths in Augusta in 1970 and Baltimore last month, the death of Scott was captured on video.

Undoubtedly, without this video, the police version of what happened would have been believed.

The video clearly shows the police officer shooting an unarmed, fleeing Scott and then planting a taser near his lifeless body.

Remarkably, the officers involved in Walter Scott’s and Freddie Gray’s death were arrested! That rarely happens; it remains to be seen if they will actually be convicted of any crimes.

Another common narrative in these riots has to do with uneven coverage by the media. The media is quick to show the aftermath and destruction of racial riots, without much in-depth analysis of the history between the police and the black community. Often, the friction between police and poor black communities can be traced back to slavery.

When local Augusta news channels recall the 1970 riots, they often over-look the police cover-up. When you remember incidents like the May 1970 riots, it’s important to look at the initial causes as well as the effects.

The stereotypes of black people being poorly educated thugs predis-posed to criminality are very malig-nant. The end result always seems to be tension between black and blue.
