The program is designed to prevent excessive absences through parent notification and accountability, school interventions, and daily monitoring of attendance. Parents are expected to communicate with school personnel regarding absences. Parents who do not comply are referred to the State Attorney s Office for failure to comply with Florida Statue which provides that a parent commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided by law, if the parent refuses or fails to have a child attend school regularly or refuses to participate in meetings concerning the child s truancy. 1

7 THE SCHOOL BOARD OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA BROWARD TRUANCY INTERVENTION PROGRAM (BTIP) PROGRAM SERVICES The automatic Parent Link call to parents of students with three (3) or more unexcused absences gives ALL parents notification and the opportunity to talk with school staff to resolve issues of nonattendance, behavior and academic performance before it becomes chronic. The District s ETS department electronically mails the following notification letters to parents of ELEMENTARY school age students when the students accrue five (5) and ten (10) days of unexcused absences. As of the 2003/2004 school year, school staff will have only 5 school days to change a student s absence from unexcused to excused in TERMS. This time frame will allow parents to provide an explanation for their child s absence. ETS will lock out future changes. Changes beyond the five-day time frame will be made for exceptional circumstances only.. Once a pattern of non-attendance has been established, schools may require parents of students enrolled in the BTIP program to submit a doctor's note or other acceptable documentation for each additional absence due to illness. If absences are due to a student s chronic medical condition a referral should then be made to the school nurse who can offer the student and/or parent training and advice to improve the management of the health condition. As of 2003/2004 electronic parent notification letters (5-day and 10-day letters) will be sent to ALL parents of MIDDLE school students who have accrued the required number of unexcused absences. With the 5-day letter, parents of middle school students will be requested to contact their child s guidance counselor to discuss the reason(s) for absences. With the 10-day letter, parents will be advised to contact their school social worker. HOW TO ACCESS THESE SERVICES Consistently update addresses of students and their parents on TERMS when information is available that parent has a new address. Seek updated addresses of students when letters are returned undeliverable. Train designated front office staff to record telephone calls from parents on a form when parents call in to inform the school about their child s absence. Maintain central files for all doctor and parent s notes and other documentation pertaining to student s absence. Remind teachers to submit all notes brought in by their students. Accurately record student s attendance in TERMS so parents do not receive inappropriate notification of unexcused absences. Train students to remind their parents to call the school when they are absent. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON T Students will have poor attendance and will not achieve academically. Parents will become upset if calls and notes are not accurately recorded. Attending behavioral problems will develop or escalate if behavioral interventions are not discussed and implemented between the school and home. Students will have poor outcomes on the FCAT and other standardized tests. The State Attorney s Office will not be able to file court cases on parents due to poor documentation of parent notification and school interventions. CONTACT Dr. Laurel E.

8 THE SCHOOL BOARD OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA CURRICULM & INSTRUCTION/STUDENT SUPPORT August 2002 TO: FROM: VIA: SUBJECT: All Elementary School Principals Dr. Earlean C. Smiley,Ed.D., Deputy Superintendent Curriculum & Instruction/Student Support Area Superintendents BROWARD TRUANCY INTERVENTION PROGRAM (BTIP) The Broward Truancy Intervention Program (BTIP) is a partnership program with the State Attorney s Office and the School Board of Broward County. The program is designed to prevent excessive absences through partner participation and accountability, school interventions, and daily monitoring of attendance. Parents/Guardians are notified when their child is excessively absent and are expected to communicate with school personnel regarding all absences through scheduled meetings electronically arranged by the School District. These meetings represent escalating parent accountability and may result in referring non-compliant parents to the State Attorney s Office for failure to comply with section Florida Statute. Clearly the intent of the program is to assist parents in fulfilling their responsibility to ensure their child s regular school attendance. It is also consistent with the District s mission statement that all students receive a quality education within a safe and secure learning environment. This program is supported with automated parent letters sent from the Education Technology systems office and electronic communication with the Broward State Attorney s Office. The State Attorney s Office consists of a full time Assistant State Attorney, secretary and six investigators who contact parents, communicate with school staff and provide investigative support for the program. The Assistant State Attorney also files cases for judicial intervention. ALL elementary principals are expected to have their school engage in the following activities to support the implementation of their students attendance. PROCEDURE: 1. All schools will develop an internal procedure for taking, reporting, and recording daily attendance. This includes the reporting of absences and the submission of notes from parents, doctors and other documentation used to verify reasons for absences. This information will be given to the designated person who enters attendance data into TERMS. Documentation from parents should be noted on the L-27 panel. 6
9 2. Each school will designate a person who will record ALL calls from parents regarding tier child s absence and will designate the absence to be excused or unexcused. A form to collect this type of information is attached to this procedure. 3. Using the Code of Student Conduct guidelines each student s absence will be recorded DAILY into the database. Changes can be made within 48 hours but schools will be locked out thereafter. 4. Students with 3 unexcused absences will be identified on the L 25-panel. The parents of these students will receive an automatic telephone call from Parent Link to contact the school for a conference. The school will be expected to do the following: Assist the parents identify reasons for absences and suggest interventions to reduce the incidence of absences. Determine the need for a school nurse consultation, as the reason given by the parent for absences is often health related. Continue to monitor student s absences If student previously attended another BC school, do not change the attendance record previously entered by the other school. When the telephone numbers are incorrect Parent Link will generate a list to the school. Schools should secure correct telephone number and update each panel. 5. When student accumulates 5 unexcused absences ETS will automatically enroll the student into the BTIP program and send a letter of notification to the parent s address to attend a school conference. The school will be expected to do the following: Convene the Collaborative Problem Solving Team to review the student s school performance and past attendance and to make recommendations. The school social worker should be invited to participate in the CST. Provide staff to conduct the school conferences Record the conference and documentation provided by the parent on the L panel. A file to retain documents provided by the parent is essential Request parent/guardian to provide a doctor s note or other acceptable documentation for each future absence. See a sample letter that can be used to notify parents of this procedure. Determine if health reasons are given for the child s absences and have parent/guardian sign a Release of Information form to request medical documentation. Request the school nurse to meet with the parent and/or child to assess how the family handles the illness if it is chronic, persistent or debilitating. 7
10 A principal or other administrator or guidance person should be in attendance at all 5 day meetings 6. ETS will automatically send out 10-day meeting notices to parents via certified return receipt letters. At this 10-day meeting the State Attorney will attend. This meeting is conducted by the Student Services Area Coordinator. The list of these students will appear on the L25 panel, but schools will have two days to correct this list. Schools are asked to do the following: Have a designated person to review the list and the attendance record of each student. If documentation exists that absences have been excused and the student no longer has 10 unexcused absences, please immediately notify ETS and the Student Services Coordinator's office to not send the letter. If this is done later than the 48 hour period, please immediately notify the SS Area office for possible cancellation of this meeting with the State Attorney. Immediately notify the school social worker that the parent of student has been scheduled. The SSW will engage in some intervention prior to the meeting and will also attend the 10-day meeting. The principal, assistant principal or guidance person is expected to attend this meeting with the State Attorney. The decision to engage in additional intervention(s), excuse the absences or to file a court case is determined at this meeting. We have provided district funding to elementary schools that will enable them to engage in the interventions outlined above. We have begun to see positive changes in student attendance and there are many related positive outcomes identified by the schools such as increased communication between school personnel and parents. The Directors have been requested to provide technical assistance and support when needed. Should you have additional questions, please or contact Carol Smith, School Social Work and Attendance at (954) * ECS/FC/CS Cc: Dr. Frank Till, Superintendent of Schools Area Directors Fay Clark, Executive Director, Student Support Services & ESE NOTE: There have been some updates to the program subsequent to Dr. Smiley's memo.

In order for your child to be successful in school, he or she needs to attend school each and every day. Florida laws say that you are responsible for your child's attendance. Section , Florida Statues, provides that a parent or guardian who refuses or fails to have a child attend school regularly or refuses to participate in meetings concerning the child's truancy, may be subject to court proceedings. The School Board of Broward County, Florida in partnership with the Broward County State Attorney's office has initiated the Broward Truancy Intervention Program (BTIP). The intent of the program is to prevent truancy (unexcused absences). Your child's attendance will be monitored on a daily basis and unexcused absences will be reported to you. Should your child have a series of unexcused absences, the State Attorney's Office will be notified, and they will issue a subpoena for your child's records. These records may be used in court against you. The State Attorney's Office may take appropriate action up to and including criminal prosecution of the parent/guardian of the truant child. You are required to contact the school each time your child is absent and provide the school with the reason for the absence. When you are notified of an unexcused absence, you are required to immediately contact the school to discuss the situation and to take action to stop the truant behavior. To report absences, you must call the school office at. If you need further information about this truancy prevention program, please contact me.

Microsoft's latest money grabbing scheme, dubbed pay-as-you-go, or PAYG computing, has been denied by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
A few days before the Office received the application, it sent Vole a letter questioning its use of fuzzy terminology and pointing out that Microsoft was, in fact, trying to patent stuff that was already patented. And to think we believed Microsoft had good lawyers.
The decision isn't final and Redmond can appeal the ruling, or reapply with a different patent application.

Resistance to School Closures in Chicago
1st March 2013
The Chicago Public Schools board is planning to close 129 schools in the town The Chicago Teachers Union, which organised a successful and widely supported strike last September has been campaigning tirelessly since then to organise and enable mass protests against the closures - which are part of the city's plan to privatise, de-unionise and degrade education for low income and minority children. Using all the rhetoric of the school 'reform' movement internationally, the neo-liberals in charge in Chicago - home of neo-liberalism - are pressing on with their plans in the teeth of determined resistance by local communities. A series of meetings, organised and funded by the Walmart Foundation to promote the changes, have instead demonstrated the depth of feeling against the closures, with one being attended by 1000 people. This policy is not restricted to Chicago - other states have also seen public schools closed, to be replaced by privatised charters. The same is happening in different forms in many parts of the world - from New Zealand, whose government has used the earthquake as an excuse to 're-organise' ie close and privatise schools, to Wales, where draconian public sepending cuts are leading to the closure of rural schools, to India, where a relentless barrage of propaganda against public schools is leading to a burgeoning private school sector, even for the poor. What is common to all these places and many more however is the will of teachers and communities to stand up for their schools and stand up to the neo-liberal 'reformers.' In Chicago a shut down of the city is planned for March 27th. To read more about Chicago school closures and the resistance to it go

JewelleryNecklacesGayer Anderson Cat pendant
Members' price *
This sterling silver necklace features the iconic image of the Gayer Anderson Cat with details highlighted in 18 carat gold. One of the greatest treasures of The British Museum, the original is a highly decorated sacred temple cat dating from c.600 BC and was donated by Major Robert Grenville Gayer-Anderson. This regal looking cat wears gold earrings and a gold nose ring. Her silver-plated breastplate is decorated with the sacred eye of the god Horus, beneath which is an ornamental scarab and silvered disc. The domesticated cat is probably associated more with ancient Egypt than any other culture in the world. This cat is a particularly fine example of the many statues of cats from ancient Egypt. In Ancient Egypt it was believed that most deities were able to take the form of a sacred animal in order to appear on earth. Amun might disguise himself as a goose or a ram, Horus as a falcon. Not all members of a species were considered sacred, only those lucky enough to be chosen to live in a temple as the god's representative were revered. The only animal which the Egyptians seem to have held in total respect whether it was a pet or kept in a temple was the cat. All Egyptian cats were descended from the wild Libyan desert cat with long legs, sharply pointed ears and brindled fur which is often depicted in Book of the Dead papyrus vignettes cutting up the evil serpent Apophis. The Greek historian Herodotus reported that in his time (about 450 BC) when a house caught fire the first thing to be saved was the house cat and that whole families went into mourning when their pet died. Small but elaborate coffins were made especially for the mummified remains of a favourite pet. The designer Paula Bolton creates jewellery for a variety of prestigious Museum and Heritage shops. The jewellery is handcrafted in Bali by a group of families who over the past 14 years have become Paulas close friends. The skills of the Balinese crafts people have been handed down from generation to generation. All jewellery in the Paula Bolton collection is made from 925 Sterling silver and is often highlighted with 18 carat gold details. Paula also likes to use copper in some of her work especially her more statement pieces.Read more about the Gayer-Anderson cat here

Although each trustee sale has its own unique set of rules, the nature of an auction is a fast sale that usually involves an 'all cash' transaction. Some real estate #investors are able to get investment property loans from their #banks to purchase properties at trustee sales. But for the majority of #investors, getting a #bank loan is an impossible task for a trustee sale purchase so they use their own cash. For those experienced in auction sales, investment property loans can be an important tool if their own cash isn't sufficient.
And because so many trustee sales require that buyers must complete the transaction within 24 hours of the winning bid, a #bank loan is simply not an #option The majority of buyers use all cash, while some are able to use investment property loans to take down these fast auction purchases. But how can a real estate lender finance an auction purchase as quickly as cash?
A lender doesn't usually get to inspect a property before lending on it at auction, so it seems difficult to get a loan in a 24 hour timeframe. But many #private money# non-#bank #lenders are set up to be able to fund such investment property loans quickly. With resources that allow these #lenders to determine value and proceed towards a closing, financing the purchase of auction sales is an easy task for #hard money# #lenders For those not familiar with real estate auctions, I recommend finding a #mentor or experienced #partner to do your first trustee sale purchase. Particularly when using a #hard money# loan, it's important to have previous experience in purchasing real estate via trustee sale.

Unhappiness, guilt. Was how he felt now that he was alone and lost in the duty of royalty. After that terrific day, all his memories and all of his past started to come to his mind, specially… her. But he wouldn't give up, he owned her that much, and was determined to find her no matter what, despite the fact all his kingdom and even his mother had lost all hope in finding her alive.
It was almost midnight, and there he sat at the library reading a book about "basis of magic and alchemy" in the search of a clue. The big window which leads to the backyard garden remained open; he stretched his arms of tiredness and looked upon the black sky, then to the garden, finally his eyes closed and his head fell in the back of the couch he was sited in.
FLASH BACK Derek: 15 years Oddette: 14
Come quick Brom!, or she'll know what we're up to. The two boys jumped through the library's window and ran towards the lake carrying a heavy sword.
-If my mother finds out we have it... we'd be punished for an entire life! Derek said while running.
-But this'll show that cocky duke what happens when he goes around saying that you're a chicken for not accepting his swords challenge.
Answered Bromley, running behind Derek.
Suddenly, a blond haired girl came down a near three blocking their way.
-Hey you! Shouted What are you guys doing so suspiciously? I saw you escaping from that window!
-How bad luck! Oddette is here now, what else will happen! Rain? Said Derek theatrically, Bromley started laughing.
-I'm glad to see you too! said Oddette following his sarcasm, and what's that you're carrying? Could it be…?
-It's not your business!. Now if you could leave us alone for the entire summer we would be really grateful...
-I know! That's the sword of your ancestors! Your "jewel family" isn't it? Why are you taking it to the lake? Asked Oddette throwing glances to them
-No! Derek, she found out! Now she is going to tell your mother!!! Cried Bromley.
-If you dare to tell my mom we'll label you as the worst blabbermouth of all history. Said defiant the little prince.
-For your information I'm not going to tell anyone, but you have to let me go with you... whatever you're doing…!
The boys accepted reluctantly, and the tree kids kept running to the port past the lake, where a squad of some boys was already waiting for them to arrive.
-So, at last you show your chicken face, Derek! But what a surprise! You brought your little girlfriend, I suppose she it's going to do the fight instead huh? Or is she here to console you when you're crying, you loser! Said mockingly a boy dressed in fine clothes, to what his friends started to laugh loudly.
-Shut up and let's fight Alexander! Answered the prince coldly.
-Slow down little princess! Let me state the rules, let's see… the duel will be done in that boat in the middle of the lake, so you can't escape but to fall in the water. And the second is that the loser wins the other one sword. There are no more rules than that. Are you following?
- Done! So let's…
-Derek! You can't be serious! So that's the reason of bringing your family's sword? You can't risk that much! Said Oddette putting herself in front of him
-Hahaha! Maybe you should listen to your girlfriend, you little orphan! You don't even have a father to teach you!
For him, that was enough, he wouldn't stand him anymore…
-I'll do it, out of my way! Said while going to the boat in the shore of the lake, some other boats were already there, and the duke Alexander and Derek got on and the others followed in other boat. Oddette got in one boat as well, while Bromley doubted to get in or not.
- You're coming or what? Said Oddette taking the oars, and nervously he got on and took one oar.
Once in the middle, the boy rowing in Alexander's boat jumped where his friends were, the duel started, and you could see it wasn't quite easy for Derek to handle that heavy sword in an unstable platform.
-So! I'll make you fall! Said the duke giving a blow which he blocked, then responded pushing him aside, and trick fully the duke started to move in order to swing the boat and make Derek lose balance.
-That's cheating! Derek said and hang to the edge with his free hand, Alexander took the opportunity and threw other slash to take the sword out of Derek's hand to the other side of the boat.
-Now! I think we have a winner!
-No way! Shouted Derek, standing in a jump which suddenly moved the boat and made Alexander fall by the edge to the lake
Soon he started floating, and cursing the prince, but in a blink he sank in the water.
- What happened? Said scared one of the boys
Then Alexander came out of the water, he was frightened and fighting to float, shouting for help, like if something was trying to drown him.
Quickly Derek stretched his hand from the boat to help him back, but then the duke was pulled down again, he could see it now, some kind of weird vine plant was surrounding the boy's body and drowning him in the process.
Derek took his sword and jumped to the water, it was a difficult task to see something beneath, but he found one branch and cut it releasing Alexander, then he felt it, one vine tied to his leg and started to pull him down too, it was all chaos, he fought and reached the boat's edge, but the plant kept pulling.
Oddette, who was now near their boat, jumped from hers to Derek's and helped him to get in the boat quicly, but the plant had attached his sword heavily and he was also fighting to get it back, as the boat was bending extremely to one side.
-You have to let it go! Alleged Oddette, who was now helping Alexander to return up the boat which was extremely complicated as the boat was inclining to one side, and that was leading to turn the boat upside down.
-But I can't! My mother would kill me!
-If you don't, this thing will!
All of a sudden, Oddette fell also to the water, and in the moment she floated was vigorously pulled down the bottom by the plant.
The duke reached then the edge of the boat and climbed up, coughing and crawling on it.
-Let's go… coughed Alexander.
-We can't, the plant caught her! Said Derek, realizing he had just left his sword fall to the lake. Where is she?
-It's all over… you don't have a sword, mine It's gone too!. Claimed while recovering and took the oars.
-No! What are you doing?! She tried to save you! It has to be a way! It must!
-She's not coming back! Just accept it! Let's go now before that thing kills us both!
-Hey! Who's been the coward now!? Shouted Derek, then a knife fell in his boat.
-Use it! Said a boy who thrown it from the other boat.
Without doubt the prince jumped again to the water and saw a silhouette going down to the bottom, he hurried and then he finally found her, difficultly cutting all the vines, and when he thought everything was safe, the most disgusting bulb plant came to his view, it was one of those he remembered from a book, of a brilliant yellow, then he saw the duke's sword stuck in a near vine and took the opportunity to slash the plant.
He hurried as fast as he could carrying Oddette's body from the waist to the surface, where he saw the first boat to his reach, hurrying Oddette's unconscious body, where Bromley waited almost in shock, helping them to get onto the boat.
-Are you okay? What happened!? Look she is unconscious! Cried Bromley.
Despite Derek was so exhausted, he found the energy to go and check her pulse. She it's not breathing… thought while nearing his head to her nose.
And without a second thought he pressed her nose and gave her mouth to mouth reanimation.
-Damn! Come on! Breathe! Said in despair, doing it again a couple of times.
Finally she started coughing and splitting water.
-She's alive! Cried Bromley
Derek felt sudden relieve, but after a second he realized he was too close to Oddette's face and immediately jumped back.
-What! The plant!... said the girl sitting up.
- You're safe! Don't worry! Said Bromley also trying to convince himself
-But what just happened… where's that boy?
-You fell! I brought you back! That simple OK.?! Oh!!! My father's sword… It's lost… my mother'll kill me!
-So I fell… but you can't tell I didn't warn you!
-Shut up… if just you weren't that stupid to fall from the boat, I'd still have it with me…
-Stupid? Don't tell me about stupidity! You Prince Derek!
-But he gave you a kiss! Interrupted Bromley
Oddette's eyes opened wide with a scared face
-A what?!
-I didn't!!! Close your mouth Bromley! That would be the last thing to do in my entire… oh.. my mother is in the shore…
They took the oar and the three boats reached the port. The queen, the dukes and some people of the court, along with some servants were watching them, until the Queen ran towards Derek.
-OH MY! Why are you all wet!? And the duke! Tell me Derek what happened?
-Well I… you see… the sword…
-It's my fault lady Uberta… said Oddette while walking towards them
All the boys, including Alexander looked in her direction.
-I wanted to go to the lake and Derek was showing me your family's sword… then, accidentally I fell from the boat and if hadn't been for those nice gentleman I would have been drown by a strange plant… but I'm regretful to let you know the sword it's now lost…
-Oh my dear, but that can't be possible, the sword it's been polished right now, I sent it right away and left a fake one, you know how sentimental I am, It's strange you didn't noticed Derek! By the way that's impressive, good for you gentleman, you deserve a price, but for now let's change clothes or you'll catch a cold. Come come.! You'll all tell me the details of that plant while dinning!
Said the queen and started walking to the castle.
-Thank you! whispered Derek with unbelievable face.
- No… Thank you for saving my life… said Oddette with a light smile
-But I still think you're stupid for falling... oh! And have I told you how ugly your hair looks wet? Smiled Derek and ran further.
-Hey! Will you ever grow up!? And both hurried back to the castle.
A sunray was now entering the window of the library. Prince Derek woke up suddenly, saddened by such far away memories of his childhood
-Just a dream… Oddette, don't lose hope.
And with a determined look in his eyes, he said to himself.... I will find you.
My first english fic, hope you enjoyed! Please R&R
And feel free to correct any of my grammar, I would likely appreciate it! n_n

Copper sulfate crystals are among the easiest and most beautiful crystals that you can grow. The brilliant blue crystals can be grown relatively quickly and can become quite large. Here's how you can grow copper sulfate crystals yourself.

Copper Sulfate Crystal Materials

Copper sulfate

Water

Jar

Make a Saturated Copper Sulfate Solution

Stir copper sulfate into very hot water until no more will dissolve. You can just pour the solution into a jar and wait a few days for crystals to grow, but if you grow a seed crystal, you can get much larger and better-shaped crystals.

Grow a Seed Crystal

Pour a little of the saturated copper sulfate solution into a saucer or shallow dish. Allow it to sit in an undisturbed location for several hours or overnight. Select the best crystal as your 'seed' for growing a large crystal. Scrape the crystal off of the container and tie it to a length of nylon fishing line.

Growing a Large Crystal

Suspend the seed crystal in a clean jar that you have filled with the solution you made earlier. Don't allow any undissolved copper sulfate to spill into the jar. Don't let the seed crystal touch the sides or bottom of the jar.

Place the jar in a location where it won't be disturbed. You can set a coffee filter or paper towel over the top of the container, but allow air circulation so that the liquid can evaporate.

Check the growth of your crystal each day. If you see crystals starting to grow on the bottom, sides, or top of the container then remove the seed crystal and suspend it in a clean jar. Pour the solution into this jar. You don't want 'extra' crystals growing because they will compete with your crystal and will slow its growth.

When you are pleased with your crystal, you can remove it from the solution and allow it to dry.

Copper Sulfate Tips & Safety

Even a small increase in the temperature of the water will greatly affect the amount of copper sulfate (CuS04 . 5H20) that will dissolve.

Copper sulfate is harmful if swallowed and can irritate skin and mucous membranes. In case of contact, rinse skin with water. If swallowed, give water and call a physician.

Copper sulfate pentahydrate crystals contain water, so if you want to store your finished crystal, keep it in a sealed container. Otherwise, water will evaporate from the crystals, leaving them dull and powdery. The gray or greenish powder is the anhydrous form of copper sulfate.

Copper sulfate is used in copper plating, blood tests for anemia, in algicides and fungicides, in textile manufacturing, and as a desiccant.

Attorneys for the alleged Norteno gang members accused of terrorizing Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood filed a singularly florid argument last week to a judge who must decide whether to restrict the men's movements through a preliminary injunction.
The treatise, authored by veteran civil rights attorney Dennis Cunningham, expresses outrage at City Attorney John Russo's proposed injunction, while skewering its alleged absurdity and casting the accused as pawns within a larger "prison-industrial complex." Beloved by the defense, the document was somewhat less well-received by Russo's attorneys, who drafted a more traditional argument saying the men were clearly criminals whose neighbors needed protection.
Here, without further ado, is a smattering of excerpts from the filing. It refers often to the two defendants who have testified in court, Abel Manzo and Javier Quintero, as well as to Douglass Keely, the police gang expert who prepared much of the evidence against the Nortenos. It includes sentences that are so lengthy and ornate as to induce wonder:
Withal, the Court now seems poised, misguidedly we say, to comply with the untoward demand of the police authorities that it hurry and certify the existence of an emergency basis on which to brand this clearly random collection of known and unknown young Chicanos from "the Fruitvale" — whose families are from North of Bakersfield and who, in the grim, mysterious vortex of cultural division and violent youth enmity that besets Mexican-American communities (like others) in California today, are therefore denominated "Nortenos" — as "active members" of a "criminal street gang," whose very existence, however perennial and engrained, constitutes a "public nuisance" in the Fruitvale community, everywhere; and that it order an Injunction premised on substantial and onerous invasion of the defendants' fundamental rights, supposedly to abate it.
Here is the defense argument for Manzo, who according to police has friends and family members in the gang, was spotted at a funeral for a slain Norteno, and once wore a memorial T-shirt for another:
This he clearly is not and never was, as he insisted, whatever problems he had in life, or in getting along with his probation officer, or with cops; and whoever he ever said hello to, or knew, or where — and regardless of whether an injunction against others is called for or not. Abel Manzo is not answerable for any actions of others, or his relatives, nor yet for how he may be regarded in the community (or by the police) because of them. His inclusion as a defendant was wrong, and only helps show the impermissible "E.S.P." element — and the malice — involved in the ginning-up of this lawsuit.
Here is a section on Quintero, who was recently arrested in the middle of an injunction hearing and sentenced to five months for violating his parole. The passage refers to the GPS monitoring he once received, and to an incident in his neighborhood in which he was arrested outside a friend's shed — a shed filled with guns. Police said Quintero once admitted to being a Norteno.
Javier presents a different question. As he testified, he used to be around the "Untouchables" scene on Harrington Street, whatever it was, and he got in trouble more than once; then he tried to go straight. After the incident with the shed he settled in on parole, with the benign agent (yes, they exist), Williams; and eventually he got a real job — with, lo, benefits! and a chance for advancement; a true rarity — but after eighteen months good, and regardless of them, he was fingered by Keely and suddenly snatched out of his groove and put in the GPS program, under the hard-nose (parole agent) Moreno, and then put into this scandalous case. And then he was selected by the lawyers to exemplify the defendants in the hearing, mostly because he did have a job; and that's so rare, because — this just in — there are no jobs; especially for those (like so many defendants) who are life-branded as felons.
The defense criticizes what it sees as conflicted efforts to reform the defendants. Some had recently been summoned to a "call-in" meeting and offered social services — a program modeled after a Chicago effort called Ceasefire:
In point of fact the whole "Cease Fire" program was and is arbitrary, opportunistic, and unconscionable, and in truth, only one more mindless component of the giant, morally degenerate "prison-industrial complex," which operates on a $9 billion-dollar annual basis in this state, and requires a steady supply of black and brown bodies at the gates of the R & R Centers, each month, to feed its gruesome process. At bottom, it is for doing this "work," of gathering flesh to feed the monster gulag, that the police want the Court here to supply them with "another tool."
Finally, the defense asks for Manzo and Quintero to be excluded from the injunction:
And Javier's past, his felony, his two good years on parole, and the efforts and hopes for the future that went into that; then his singling out by Keely & Co. as fodder for the GPS, and the lawsuit — and then by the lawyers as exemplar of the injunction defendants, since he had so clearly "just fade(d) away," in Keely's unwittingly apt terminology, from the gang scene; whence he dared to speak out against the cops — all led to disaster, and he is back behind bars. Yet he was "doing everything right," as he said, and moreover he is clearly no part of any "criminal street gang" causing a public nuisance in the Fruitvale, Keely's fevers against him notwithstanding. Javier also deserves to be cut loose here, forthwith, and left with his remedies against the cops. And the defense will righteously be left needing new exemplars, to show themselves also "fading away" from the gang thing.
