It's NOT the "brand" … It's the man!
Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center has a remarkable reputation in Bay County. However, a brand is only as good as the services provided, and the status rests on what consumers actually believe about those amenities. That's why it was so gratifying to Dr. Daniel Daube to have received not one, but two designations in the "Best of Bay" for Bay County as designated within The News Herald.
"Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center puts great emphasis on courtesy and professionalism in dealing with visitors to our medical facility. In fact, treating patients with respect and dignity is part of our Mission Statement," said Dr. Daube. "We strive to provide quality medical care enhanced by compassion and understanding for the needs of our patients. Word-of-mouth marketing has built our practice into one of the foremost treatment options in Northwest Florida – although our patients also come from across the US as well as throughout the world!"
Dr. Daube was voted the best Cosmetic Surgeon, and was also in the top three Medical Specialists in the county. What makes this so significant is the fact that "word of mouth" advertising is THE most powerful marketing for any physician.
The doctors and staff and Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center would like to invite residents and visitors to come to their facility to see what others have found to be true – they are "Where Art and Medicine Come Face to Face."©
4 Ways to Win Against Wrinkles
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, there are several ways you can counter wrinkles.
1) Top-of-the-mind awareness for those of us living on the Gulf of Mexico is not to "bake" in the sun. Harsh tanning turns the skin to a leather look that is almost impossible to reverse. And, of course, it should go without saying, tanning booths absolutely are not an option! In addition, always be careful of UVA rays, even when you are in your car where the sun can still penetrate. It is important to protect your skin, every single day, with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. We also carry Jane Iredale Sunless Tanner. Ask our Aesthetician about other products we carry for just this sort of protection.
2) Diet and water are two great combinations. A heart-healthy diet, filled with fruits and vegetables, along with several glasses of water each day, will ensure not only more healthy skin, but toxins will be flushed from your body. Specifically, include foods that are high in vitamins C and E, as well as soy and green tea, instead of dehydrating fluids. When your skin is nourished, wrinkles are less likely to form.
3) Genetics do play an important part in how your face wrinkles, as does how much you laugh, frown, furrow your brow, or smile, which increases crow's-feet. But with the latest in injectables, we offer a way to counter wrinkling and sagging of the facial area, and can even treat the more fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Restylane Silk is the newest product that can literally turn back time! Those fine lines around the lips caused by aging, sun-damage, smoking, or just from a genetic tendency to turn down, can be easily and effectively treated.
4) There are simple things you can do to decrease wrinkles like varying your sleeping position each night so as not to favor one side of the face over another. In fact, it's better to sleep on your back. Our office has numerous ways to rejuvenate your skin that will reduce wrinkling. We not only have topical lotions, but also special peels and laser treatments that will give you reason to smile at your wrinkle-free reflection!
At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center, our aesthetic spa should be your first call when wrinkles have taken a toll on your skin. Dr. Daube is also the region's only Board Certified as well as Fellowship-trained Facial Plastic Surgeon. He runs his practice by his slogan: Where Art and Medicine Come Face to Face.© We suggest you try and manage your wrinkles as much as possible by following the four suggestions above, but when you can't achieve the results you'd like to see with your skin, scheduling an appointment with our medical professionals will help remove those pesky wrinkles. Call us, today!
A Personal Testimonial about Restylane Silk®
In medicine, there is nothing better than word-of-mouth marketing, especially when it comes to new products on the market.
Dr. Daniel Daube of Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center has been chosen to introduce Restylane Silk® to the Bay County area. This first and only FDA-approved filler is designed, specifically, for the treatment of lips and the lines around them caused by aging, sun damage, smoking, or a genetic condition where the lips naturally turn down.
Kasey K. was the first patient to be injected by Dr. Daube, and her testimonial is as glowing about the product as her face is when she speaks of her outcome. Kasey is a 23-year-old college student who plans to get married in the fall of this year.
"I was very self-conscious of my upper lip, because it was so small. In school, I was made fun of due to the thinness of my lip, which really hurt my feelings, and I figured if these people notice my lack of lip definition, others must as well. I've always wanted fuller lips, but there weren't any options I could afford," said Kasey.
"I chose Dr. Daube because I'd heard he is the best doctor to go to for injectables, and the only one who offered Restylane Silk.® He assessed my lips and gave me injections in my upper and lower lip. I was delighted when he was also able to correct the problem that my lips turned down."
So were the results as she expected?
"It was everything I expected and more! My lips were not too big or too small, they were absolutely perfect," said Kasey.
What about pain?
"Because I got numbing medication, there actually was no pain involved with the procedure."
So, would she do it again and recommend it to others?
"Yes, I would definitely recommend it, especially since I have my wedding coming up. In fact, I might get it touched up a month or two ahead of the ceremony. This first time, I wanted to do a 'dry run' to see how it would look, because I wanted fuller lips for my wedding. I'm so much more confident now, because my lips are fuller."
What about follow-up with the medical staff?
"I had a very thorough conversation with the nurse who gave me a booklet of everything I needed to do following the injection. Dr. Daube was also very helpful in explaining the after-care needed, which was minimal. I followed all the instructions and the only thing that was a bit unusual was getting used to the odd sensation of having the fuller lips I've always wanted. Also, I was encouraged to call the office if I had any questions. Everyone was very nice and attentive both before and after the procedure."
Only a small number of trained physicians in the U.S. are offering this product, and Panama City is one of those areas. "I am very proud to have been chosen as one of the physicians in the nation to introduce this product to our region," said Dr. Daube.
The product is injected into a patient's lip and/or area around the mouth in one or two sessions as needed. The process typically takes less than an hour. Call our office to schedule a consult regarding any injectables or cosmetic facial plastic surgery you may desire.
Restylane Silk® is produced by the makers of Restylane—Galderma. Galderma is a global healthcare company founded in 1981, which focuses on skin health.

February is Children's ENT Health Month
Parents must be vigilant in the care of their children's ears, nose, and throat. According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, national health statistics reveal that pediatric ear, nose, and throat disorders remain among the primary reasons children visit a physician, with ear infections ranking as the number one reason for an appointment. From earaches to choking hazards, kids can suffer from a variety of ailments that require prompt diagnosis and treatment.
At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center our physicians are extremely familiar with all the ear, nose, and throat issues from which children suffer. Our physicians treat the following issues:
Breathing Difficulties – This is not unusual, especially in humid areas like Bay County, so we are adept in providing guidance as to how to treat any breathing complications prior to surgery being considered. Allergies may also be an issue.
Chronic Ear Problems – Unfortunately, this is all too common, especially in small children. Our physicians discount every option, but sometimes the insertion of ear tubes is the best decision to give your child relief. Chronic Ear Infectionsare, unfortunately, part of early childhood.
Cleft Lip/Palate – A cleft lip or palate (roof of the mouth) is a birth defect. Surgery to repair these birth defects are done at an early age, and may take multiple surgeries, in stages. Dr. Daube is not only an ear/nose/throat physician, but he is also the region's only Board Certified and Fellowship-trained Facial Plastic Surgeon. He has been able to put a true smile on the faces of many children who suffer from this condition.
Nose Bleeds – Caused by a variety of reasons, nose bleeds are problematic because the amount of blood can be scary. Not only is this a troublesome condition, especially with children, but it could indicate a more serious problem. There are treatments available, but surgery is also an option.
Facial Nerve Injuries – Such as from dog bites, or any other facial trauma. Both Dr. Daniel Daube and Dr. James Beggs are adept in trauma surgery and stand ready to assist with any wounds that may be suffered by your child.
Hearing Loss – This is a problem parents need to be aware of early in the child's life, as it can affect speech and other cognitive development. An ENT physician, who is used to treating children, can perform several tests to make the correct diagnosis.
Hypernasal Speech – This may be an indication of Nasal Deformities, Obstructions or other issues that need to be addressed. Sinus Infections may also be indicated as a condition to treat.
Sleep Disordered Breathing – Yes, children can actually experience Sleep Apnea. A sleep study may be necessary to determine if this is the correct diagnosis.
Tonsillitis – If you make frequent trips to the doctor with your child suffering from tonsillitis, then a tonsillectomy may be necessary to treat the infection or inflammation of the tonsils.
Adenoiditis and Adenoid Hypertrophy – Adenoids are located in the back of the mouth, on the soft palate. Adenoids are one of your throat's first lines of defense, and they can often become inflamed. Removal of your adenoids is often done at the same time as a tonsillectomy, but the doctor will decide what is best for your child's specific condition.
Rest assured, when you need the services of Board Certified physicians, the doctors at our practice are multi-trained, and available. Our physicians are adept in diagnosing the many conditions that may be a part of the early childhood years. Of utmost importance is the fact that none of the above conditions should be ignored or overlooked. Contact a doctor who is specialized in the surgery and treatment of children's ear, nose, and throat issues. Early diagnosis can save you a lifetime of heartache.

What do I do if I'm diagnosed with a Thyroid Nodule?
At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center, our team of physicians is specialized in treating thyroid nodules.
According to WebMD, thyroid nodules are growths or lumps in the thyroid gland in the front of your neck. This gland controls how your body uses energy. It should be noted that most thyroid nodules are not cancerous and do not cause problems. In fact, many do not even need treatment, but unfortunately, some are cancerous, which is the reason they should be evaluated.
Big nodules manifest themselves by swelling in the neck, or you may be able to feel the nodule. It is also possible that you may:
- Feel pain in your throat, or feel like your throat is "full".
- Have a hard time swallowing
- Experience trouble breathing
- Feel nervous, with a fast heartbeat; sweat a great deal; or, lose weight. (These are symptoms of hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone.)
- Be tired or depressed; have memory problems; be constipated; have dry skin; feel cold; or have other symptoms of hypothyroidism.
It may be necessary for one of our doctors to do a physical exam to determine if you have a thyroid nodule, and he/she will be specifically interested in what symptoms you display. Unfortunately, these nodules do not always cause symptoms, and may only be found from a CT scan or ultrasound.
We usually recommend certain tests to determine how well your thyroid is working, and to rule out cancer of the thyroid. Possible tests may include:
- A blood test to check the level of thyroid hormone in your body.
- A thyroid scan, which uses radioactive material with a camera to see how well your thyroid gland is working. (This test is done to see if the level of thyroid hormone is high.)
- A fine-needle aspiration will remove a small amount of material from the nodule, which will then be checked for cancer cells.
- A thyroid ultrasound, to see the number and size of nodules present, or to locate the nodule in order to conduct the fine-needle aspiration.
Thyroid nodules are more common as a person ages, and experts have shown that thyroid nodules tend to run in families. If surgery is indicated, we will discuss not only what to expect, but what the follow-up treatment will entail.
All our specialists are adept at diagnosing thyroid cancer, and Dr. Jim Beggs is the region's only Board Certified Head and Neck cancer surgeon, so we are exceptionally equipped to advocate with you—the whole person—to get to the root of any thyroid problems you may be experiencing. We have two locations to serve you, so call to make an appointment with one of our physicians to begin your thyroid stimulating hormone testing.
No Regrets!
During the Thanksgiving season, we often look back over the year and consider all the things we're grateful to have received. But the season may also remind us of things we wish we hadn't done. In some cases, we can correct our mistakes, repair relationships, and move on. With tattoos, that can especially be the case. At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center, we specialize in tattoo removal services.
A tattoo might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now personal and/or career changes might have you wondering if it's possible to change your mind.
The Answer? Yes! On the average, professional tattoos require 6-8 laser removal treatments (amateur tattoos may require less). The majority of patients do not require any anesthesia and only antibacterial ointment and a dressing will be applied immediately after treatment. To get started, we'll be happy to discuss the procedure and any questions you may have regarding the specifics of tattoo removal.
Dr. Daube is the region's only Board Certified and Fellowship-trained Facial Plastic Surgeon, so he brings unique abilities to his ENT and Facial Plastic specialty, and tattoo removal is just one of the skin's issues that we can treat. Dr. Daube has been using medical lasers longer than any other MD in Bay County.
To learn more about Dr. Daube go to www.gulfcoastfacialplastics.com. Our website gives complete information, and extensive resumes, on each of our five physicians, since our medical practice is the largest ENT group in the region. Call us today – 850-784-7722.

Be thankful that so many mistakes from the past can be corrected, and we're here to help!
Treating Port-Wine Stains on the Face
According to the National Institutes of Health, port-wine stains occur in about 3 out of 1,000 people. A port-wine stain is a birthmark where swollen blood vessels create a reddish-purplish discoloration of the skin. They are usually flat and pink in appearance, but the color can deepen to a dark red or purplish color over time.
Dr. Daniel Daube can usually diagnose a port-wine stain by a visual exam. In unusual cases, a skin biopsy may be needed, which depends on the location and other symptoms that may be present.
Over time, many procedures have been tried for port-wine stains, to include freezing, surgery, radiation, and tattooing. However, we have found that laser therapy is the most successful option in eliminating port-wine stains. The exact type of laser used depends on the person's age and the particular type of stain. It is a proven fact that stains, especially on the face, respond better to laser therapy than those on the arms, legs, or middle of the body. And, older stains may be more difficult to treat.
Dr. Daube is the region's only Board Certified and Fellowship-trained Facial Plastic Surgeon, so he brings unique abilities to his ENT and Facial Plastic specialty, and Port-wine stain treatment is just one of the skin's abnormalities that he can treat. Dr. Daube has been using medical lasers longer than any other MD in Bay County.

Don't Forget Your End of Year Deductibles
It's that time of year when you need to consider whether or not you've met your medical deductibles and can consider having additional issues addressed. The IRS will let you deduct payments to doctors, in-patient hospital care, prescription drugs, and costs associated with going to and from the doctor. But by definition, an insurance deductible is the amount of money the insured will need to pay before any benefits from the health insurance policy can be used. Have you met the amount you have to pay out of pocket for healthcare procedures with your insurance? And, don't forget to research any co-pays required. Now is the time to check your status before the end of December!
Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center is the largest ear, nose, and throat medical practice in the region. At this time of year, one of the most sought-after procedures is Balloon Sinuplasty, a non-surgical option for recurrent sinus issues. No hospitalization is necessary, and you can resume normal activities following the procedure.
We provide five options for ear, nose, and throat issues, as well as cancer of those areas. Drs. James Beggs,Daniel Daube, Brian Gibson, Vicki Nowak, and Stephen Toner all stand ready to meet you, personally, to address your medical needs.
In addition, Dr. Daniel Daube is the region's only Board Certified and Fellowship-trained Facial Plastic Surgeon, so he brings unique abilities to his ENT and Facial Plastic specialty.
Our website gives complete information, and extensive resumes, on each of our five physicians so that you can make a decision as to which doctor would meet your very specific, individualized needs.

It is the personal philosophy of our practice that when you want, and need, to see a physician, and also are paying to see that specialist – that's precisely what should happen!

Top 3 Ways to Winterize Your Skin
Fall is the perfect time to begin "winterizing" your skin. Prevention is always your best ally for great skin care. When the weather begins to change … so should your skin routine.
Here are the top three (3) steps to incorporate into your schedule:
1) Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize to prevent the dryness that comes during the winter months.
Facial moisturizers are such an important part of a daily skincare routine. At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center, we offer our Obagi® Hydrate for daytime moisturizing. Then, the Obagi Hydrate Lux is recommended for nighttime moisturizing. The Lux has all the benefits of the Hydrate, plus contains powerful ingredients engineered to work while you sleep. Both these options are long lasting facial moisturizers that reduce water loss at the skin's surface, and continuously release moisturizing ingredients. Both are appropriate for all skin types and ages.
2) A daily sunscreen should always be used, even on cloudy days! Our Obagi moisturizing Sunshield is a great product to keep your skin hydrated as well as protected from the sun's harsh rays. This unique product protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays! REMEMBER: Sunscreen is the #1 skincare product to use for anti-aging.
3) Last, choose relaxing, hydrating facials either weekly or monthly. At our medical spa, we offer the Silk Peel Dermalinfusion that exfoliates the dry, dead skin cells while infusing the skin with Hyaluronic acid (a natural hydrator) and Vitamin C, which is also a great anti-oxidant.
One of the biggest skincare misconceptions evolves dry skin vs dehydrated skin.
Dry skin is genetically predetermined and is characterized by insufficient oil gland activity.
And remember, if your skin is dry due to genetic causes, look for moisturizing products that contain emollients, as well as humectants, to seal in the moisture. Some examples include shea butter, vitamin E, and allantonin
Dehydrated skin is characterized by lack of moisture due to such factors as climate and over cleansing. Therefore, even oily skin types can suffer from dehydrated skin. If your skin is dehydrated due to environmental causes, look for moisturizing products that contain humectants to seal the moisture in, and hydrating agents, such as hyaluronic acid to increase the water content in the epidermis.
If you aren't sure if your skin issues are as a result of genetics or the environment, call us at Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center and schedule your appointment! Ask for Donna Rizzuto, RN, (850) 784-7722, Opt 1, Ext 3. For any additional questions you may have: email@example.com.
Exciting New Technology ACCENTs Skin Tightening
The Accent XL is finally here and there is a lot of buzz going around about the results we are seeing at Gulf Coast Facial Plastics and ENT Center with this non-surgical procedure!
What is it?
It's a radio-frequency non-surgical procedure for improving the skin's laxity and causes tissue shrinkage anywhere on the face or body.
How does it work?
A laser delivers a beam of high intensity Near-Infrared Light that sweeps gently over the skin, deeply penetrating the skin tissue right through to the dermis layer of the skin. The light heats the water content of your skin, which stimulates the collagen and causes the skin to contract and tighten.
Will it hurt?
Treatment is often like a comfortable massage and considered by most to be painless. There will be a warm sensation. The cooling device within the treatment hand piece protects the skin from excess heat application.
How long does the treatment take?
Treatments can last from 30-45 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated and the skin type.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments will depend upon the area to be covered and the condition of the skin. Usually 4-6 treatments are recommended.
When will I notice an improvement?
Immediately! However, you will see further improvements develop gradually over a period of 1-3 months as new collagen is formed and your skin thickens and feels tighter and smoother.
How long will the treatments last?
The results will last for several years with recommended maintenance treatments every 6- 12 months.
So, if you're needing tightening under the chin, jowls and neck then this is definitely for you! This technology also works great on smoothing and reducing the fat cells on other parts of your body.
Call today and schedule your appointment! Ask for Donna Rizzuto, RN, (850) 784-7722, Opt 1, Ext 3. For any additional questions you may have: email@example.com

I've been wanting to start doing reviews again since I'd let last year's writing schedule pretty much destroy my reading habit. I'd scheduled a guest post from author Tim Lees today but the blog tour gods never appeared with the post (guess I got "stood up" in dating terms!), so I'll just run my review instead.
Heres's the dish on his new book, DEVIL IN THE WIRES, which was released on May 19 in digital format; the print edition is coming June 23 from Harper Voyager Impulse: After the perilous retrieval of a long-dormant god from Iraq, Chris Copeland—professional god hunter and company troubleshooter—is about ready to quit his job. But his employers at the Registry have other plans…plans to build a power facility on the shores of Lake Michigan. Adam Shailer, a rising star at the Registry, thinks he can cage the god, drain its energy, and power the city. It's Chris's job to make sure nothing goes wrong. And at first, everything seems fine. Great, even. But when ecstatic devotees start leaving human sacrifices on the beach near the god-house, it quickly becomes clear that the god is not as contained as the Registry would have everyone believe. The devil's in the wires, and there's no turning back now.
The tone of the book has a noir feel to it. Written in first person from the POV of the male protagonist, Chris Copeland, the language is spare but evocative.
The concept is intriguing: with our reliance on fossil fuels quickly depleting the supply of power, the shadowy international organization The Registry has field operatives (like Chris) whose job it is to retrieve old, often forgotten gods and trying to figure out how to harness their power and convert it into a usable energy source. In this case, Chris is sent on a particularly dangerous mission to retrieve an ancient god near Assur, a city in Iraq–dangerous both because of the ongoing warfare in that country and because of the god itself. Assur, as the god comes to be called, is older and more powerful than anything they've tried to retrieve and, if the bureaucratic Registry can pull it off, Assur will be used to power up the city of Chicago indefinitely and at no significant cost. Of course, as one might guess from the book's title, things don't quite go as planned and Chris, the field ops agent being kept around in Chicago as a nod toward "if something goes wrong," finds himself in a battle with something way more powerful than himself (not to mention the bureaucrats).
The book is an intriguing blend of dystopia, urban fantasy, horror, and science fiction, and the locations–primarily Iraq, London, and Chicago–are well used.
BOTTOM LINE: I loved this book, from its noir tone to its fascinating concept. It's a story well-told. I somehow missed the first in the series, THE GOD HUNTER, but this didn't feel like a sequel so it does work as a standalone. Now I'll need to go back and hunt down the first one!
SCORE & WIN: I'm giving DEVIL IN THE WIRES 4 out of 5 burgers today since it's National Hamburger Day, and will give away a digital or print copy–winner's choice. If you choose the print copy, note that it will not be released until June 23 so you won't receive it until then. The giveaway is international, of course!

Caffe Regatta Ratings and Reviews
A great local restaurant in Pelham. It is the mid-point between friends who live in CT and on LI, and we have been meeting there at least twice per year for 6-7 years now, and have always had an excellent meal and friendly service. the food is delicious, and creative, and they don't "overload" you with portions (as restaurants with lesser quality food often do!). And, the price is right. Highly recommended.
My husband and I dined at Caffe Regatta for the first time for restaurant week. Overall I would say our experience was average mostly due to the food. The level of service we received was excellent and would be the reason we'd consider returning. We chose not to partake in the restaurant week menu as it wasn't to our liking but that was okay. We shared crab cakes for an appetizer that were very flavorful and a good enough portion (2) for us to share. Ample crab and not an excess amount of filler. Dinner however we were less than impressed with unfortunately. My husband had the maple salmon and it had a few bones in it and was very sweet. I had the shrimp scampi and I thought that was sweet as well. To make up for the bones in his salmon the server gave us a piece of carrot cake and it was delicious. Our server checked on us multiple times without being pushy or disrupting our conversation and he, without any complaints from us presented us with desert. This was a wonderful gesture and not necessary but his service throughout the overall dining experience will be the reason we try Caffe Regatta again.
Another great evening at Cafe Regatta. We were there during restaurant week and their dinner menu featured several creative, seasonal offerings. My husband opted to order lobster off the regular menu and said it was perfectly cooked. Service was warm and welcoming as usual. Always enjoy our visits there.
I like this place -- good food, decent prices, excellent service -- but it is noisy, mostly from raucous patrons. It seems like it's not sure what vibe it wants -- the food and prices are upscale, but the ambiance is neighborhood. When I spend this much on a nice dinner, I want a quieter, more sophisticated vibe.
Delicious food with all the right touches...fried goat cheese inn the spinach salad...delicious. We had lobsters that were broiled to perfection. Definitely worth the trip from Long Island up there.
Also our waiter, Luis was super attentive without being obtrusive!
Can't wait togo back!
Nice cozy place. Food is good. Our service staff didn't seem "with it" although I noticed that there were other waitstaff who were more on top of things and more focused.
We waited a while before I had to ask the busboy for someone to take our drink order.
Our waitstaff didn't seem like he wanted to work - didn't make recommendations, disinterested and just wanted us to order and not make substitutions. Wasn't rude or anything, just not "with it".
We'd ordered a seafood tower that involved using fingers and hands (lobster claw wasn't cracked for us) but were given no wet towels and no seafood crackers until they were asked for. Details like these matter if Cafe Regatta wants to be taken seriously as an upscale seafood restaurant since the prices do reflect as such.
The Veal Milanese needed a ragout or gravy component, too bland and dry with small portion of creamed spinach. The burrata appetizer was excellent. Oh sorry
I have to say the silverware was sub-par, we were told it was being replaced. Very sharp edges
Would love to go again
I don't know what restaurant all of the other reviewers went to, but Caffe Regatta is terrible. From the small details like rock hard rolls, and stone cold butter, to large issues like obviously microwave reheated food and Loud (I'm assuming) regulars screatching at the bar 4' away, this restaurant offended every one of my senses.
I've never been disappointed at this restaurant. The food is always good and so is the service. I usually get the seafood specials but this time I chose from the brunch menu and had one of their special salads along with a pasta dish. This is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends - or alone.
The food is fresh and awesome. Service is mediocre: I have seen a customer chase the hostess to pay; our waiter would drop stuff on the table without making space or making sure that the food was accessible to all - for example, he would bring the entrée without taking the appetizer plates (i.e., after the appetizers you need to clean up the table, make sure everybody has silverware at this point, and then you bring the entrees!!); when we left, the hostess didn't make eye contact to say goodnight. All in all, it is a good restaurant. The food and the ambiance are excellent - I will definitely go again.
The restaurant is comfortable & the food is quite good. The service is just OK. That's not because the wait staff is slow or inexperienced... it's because they're sarcastic. The humor they elect to deliver to the clients, should be left @ home. Everyone deserves respect.

Mr. Editor: I wish to proposes few plain
questions, and would request Christians unci espe
cially ministers!, who mean to obey Christ, to read
them with care, and to pray over them. Answer
them to your own hearts, and then act in view of
them when you will also be judged.
1. Is American slavery sinful, contrary to the
law of God, and a violation of the inalienable
rights of man?
2. Is the church the visible house of God to
be a den of thievesor a habitation of holiness,
from which sinful practices are to be purged out?
3. If horso-stealers and house-breakers ought to
be excluded from the church of God, why should
iot slave-holders be excluded also? Do you not
believe that it is as bad to steal a man ns a sheep
to rob your brother of himself, his all, as to rob a
4. If there are as good reasons for excluding op
pressors and men-stealers from the churches as
housebreakers, why is it that so many ministers
and churches are quite easy while they hold chris
tian fellowship with all the abominations of slave
ry, but are excited and displeased the moment any
effort is made to cast slavery out of the house of
God. Brethren, what does this meant There
must be a reason why there is so much excitabili
ty among you on this subject. Will you, in the
presence of God, look at the whole process as de
veloped in our churches before the ungodly, in the
presence of Mini who walks among you? My
heart is sick within me! Where is the light emit
ted from our church. " 0 Jerusalem, wash thine
heart from wickedness that thou mayest be saved.
How long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee?"
In vain will you cry, The Temple of the Lord, if
you provoke the Holy One to leave you with op
pressors and murderers. Put away from among
you every wicked thing. Cast out slavery, and
every other thing that defileth the church. Let
right hands go cleanse the Temple cast out the
sordid money-changers let all go; let all that
name the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Surely, those w ho bear the vessels of the Lord
should be clean. AN OLD MAN.
For the Green Mountain Freeman.
I am as Much Opposed to Slavery as Any
body. When I hear Whigs and Democrats say I am as
much opposed to slavery as anybody, it reminds
ine of an incident that was said to have taken
place in my native town in the days of my child
hood. The individuals I knew.
In a flourishing village in the State of Vermont,
there lived a Col. H , the keeper of a
public house on Main street, who was noted for
his profanity. He had two sons, William and
George, that hesitated not to take the name of God
in vain. It is said that on a certain occasion,
while Col. H. was reproving his sons for their im
morality, he indulged himself in the strongest ex
pressions ofprofanity. "
Another incident of a similar character was"
related to me not long since, as having transpired
in the State of Massachusetts. A gentleman had
son at College, who occasionally made to free
use of the ardent, and while under its influence
would indulge in profanity. At length he was ex
pelled from college, and sent home to his Father.
The Father inquired of the son what he had done
that caused his expulsion. The 6on replied, I
suppose I swore a little. What! you swear Hor
ace said the Father, what did you swear for;
have I not told you time and again that I could
swear enough for the whole family, without your
swearing at all.
Judge, candid reader, how great a weight of
moral influence, these men must have exerted over
their ungodly sons. And Judge ye, what must be
the influence of those individuals, towards doing
away the foul stain of Slavery from our nation,
who profess great sympathy for the oppressed, and
say 'I am as much opposed to slavery as anybody,'
and then go directly to the ballot-box and deposite
a vote, which they know will favor the election of
a man to the highest office in the gift of the peo
ple of this nation, who, that very moment, to their
knowledge, holds 50 or more of his.fellov men in
cruel bondage, and whose hands ore all crimsoned
with the blood of his fellow men. "0! Consis
tency, thou art a jewel," O! "shame, where is thy
blush." L. W.

Is it right to preach politics on the sabbath day?
Yes: or on nny other day. Why not? Should
we not do good on the sabbath day? And docs
not God require u to cry aloud, and spare not
to lift up the voice like a trumpet, and show my
people their transgressions and the house of Jacob
their sins? Isai. 53: I. Cut who shall cry or
preach politics on the sabbath? The watchmen
should sound the alarm, should warn the people,
and oppose the abominations of the land. If they
have fallen asleep, or have become dumb dogs, or
have joined the enemy, then let every mini' or wo
man cry out, give the alarm, and rouse tlio people
to artion. And if all animate uatuie is sunk in a
dead sleep, then let the very stones cry out. The
timbers and stones have tongues, and should use
them, when employed by bloody oppressors. A
set of men found fault with Jesus fMn-wf h..,,.
he worked miracles of mercy on the sabbath day.
Did those men love the sabbath better than the
Lord of the sabbath?

Mr. Finley's Views.
The following remarks which were made in the
late General Conference, shows how Southern
Methodists preachers became unfortunately involv
ed in the sin of slavery.
Mr. Finley of Ohio said: "The Methodist
Church had always condemned slavery. I deny
that I ever had any conservativeness for it. The
only conservativeness it has ever had, has been
for the ministers, out of tenderness to them, be
cause they had involved themselves in it, just as
vve are urged to do in the present case. He
had been a preacher in Slave states. Thirty
years ago he was assigned to the Western r!nnf,..--
ence, which then included all beyond the Allegha
nies, Ohio, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala-
00.00.,,, ii. uui, vve preacneu mat
slavery was a sin. Peter Cartwright, (pointing to
a veteran minister and delegate) is my witness; he

..an wun mo mm win uuiiiiiui wnai i say. i was
in ueorgia, where my brother was President of a
college. 1 had then just returned from the Indi
ans. My brother said, "now, I wantyou to preach
Hiiout me Indians, and tell us some anecdotes of
them." No, brother, I said, I cannot do it. If
you will bring these slaveholders to hear me, I will
preach to them against slavery. I must tell them
their crime; perhaps it is the last chance I Rhll
have. He said, "no you wont;" but I said I would
and did. There were no laws against emanci
pation, until the Methodist preachers, instead of
telling tne people that slavery is a sin, become
slaveholders themselves. The physicians, instead
ui curing iHB disease, propagated it, calling it
soundness. Laws were passed against emancipa-
.ivM,, ui.u wiuu we pica oi necessity was set up. 1
was born in a slave state; my father was born in
a slave State; my father was a slaveholder; and
while I was a boy, twelve years old, I emancipated
the slaves that fell to me. I led them to Ohio,
dug out troughs and pounded corn for them, until
they could raise it for themselves. It has been
said here that masters treat thnir slaves like their
own children! Do they put their children under
overseers, to be driven in the field like cattle ? I
cannot understand how slaves are held for charity
If my old brother White here, (taking hold of a
bushy head, and turning the face belonging to it
so as to meet his own,) should take nie up, con
fine me, ami compel me vvitbwhips, to work for
him all my life, without any pay, and then tell me
he had done it for charity, 1 should never be able
to puzzle out how it could be. Applause in the
galleries. I don't want to applauded. I'll vote
the next minute to turn you all out. I heard it
said that the gospel of Jesus Christ will do away
slavery; but how is the gospel to do away slavery,
when the ministers of the gospel are slaveholders?
when their life, conversation and preaching, "o
to uphold it? Brethren deceive themselves, "if
they think this; but tliey..-;t not think to deceive
me. They may inuke me cry, but they can't con
vince me. 1 offered the substitute from the best
feelings of my heart, as ihe very farthercst that I

never will, if it takes the hub- off my head, or the
head off my shoulders.

Wo are disgusted iitthe weakness of the House
of Representatives in the control of the appropria

employ the great consti'.utional provision requir

ed or proved abortive. jnd the reasonings to

moved to abolish the thin.r. Some others denre-
lif " incentive io war, &c; but as soon
as Mr. Holmes showed the necessity of such an in
stitution to protect slavery, a vast majority of both
parties eagerly voted the appropriation.
An effort was made to reduce our ridiculous and
dangerous military establishment. But it was
shown that the interests of slavery were benefitted
by the army, and the House strengthened instead
ot reducing it.

In vain, now, is any attempt to reduce the navy.
Another case. The country knows the executive
administration, with which the Whig party and
senate luive curseu tne country, is per-
icniusa iii us determination to secure the
annexation of Texas, and war if needful. We
know, from the manner in which the fund for
building and repairs was expended last year, the
whole appropriation being expended before the
close of the second quarter, that the executive is
none too good to expend the whole appropriation
for the entire navy in three months, in a mad prank
that may afford a hope of promoting either annex
ation or war. To apply a check to this, the
House, in committee of the whole, voted a restric
tion, prohibiting the expenditure of more than one
half of the appropriation previous to January next.
But the slave influence has adroitly managed to
get that restriction rejected when the bill was be
fore the House, and now the entire revenue of the
country is turned over to Mr. Tyler without one
particle of effective restraint.
From the Emancipator.
Methodist. General Conference.
We know of no one event in this country
has given so decisive proof of the progress
miiKing by the whole community in anti-slavery
sentiments, as the course of the General confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church, now sit
ting in ew Xork. I he solemn and quiet firm
ness with which the northern delegates have march
ed forward to their object, and the meek patience
with which they held their peace .under the
unmeasured misrepresentations and vitupera
tions nat nave been heaped upon them by the
slaveholding Methodist preachers, shades of"Ves
ley, only think! has given the movement an as
pect of moral sublimity. This conference affords
me nrst instance in our country, of any considera
uie doiiv ot peon e. either re iinns nr wnlnr
who have gone so far in meeting the demands of
me anti-slavery cause, as deliberately to sacrifice
one of their chiefs to tho cause. There is hardly
anything more trying to our people than to call
them to give up, for conscience sake, an idolized
man. i nis tne Methodist conference have done, &
nave uone it with a calm deliberation and a kind
ness of manner that must convince every candid
person even the victim that they have done it
conscientiously only in obedience to the stern de
mauds of duty. The moral effects of this transac
tion must be very great.
Its moral effects will reach far beyond the anti
slavery cause, and effect both the constitution and
influence of the M. E. Church, and the progress
of Christianity itself, in more ways than we have
now time to mention, or even capacity to foresee.
Its bearings on the relation of the bishops to the
General Conference, the tenure of their office, and
the extent of their powers and immunities, can
hardly yet be foreseen. The emancipation of the
clergy (roin the benuming terrors of overseerism,
the restoration of a fraternal unity among those
northern preachers, who, by the chicanery of the
slaveholders, have been for ten years alienated
from each other, the feeling of freedom to prose
cute their work which cannot butspring upin their
minds, warrant the hope that great spiritual bles
sings will be granted upon that branch of thn Re
deemer's family.
There is one circumstance, which detracts, in
deed, very materially, from the high moral excel
lence which would otherwise belong to the trans
action that is, the admission on the part of so
many of the northern didomitpi). that thev have no
chargo to make against BishopAndrew. There is a
mgii uuure lying against him as a man and as a
Methodist the CR IME of holdine slaves of par
ticipating voluntarily and continuously in "the
sum of all villainies."
But this very fact, that the conference have sus-
pend Bishop A. solely out of defer. Minn to rmlilin
opinion, and the will of the people, and the neces
sities of the church and the fear of dissent;
speaks more loudly than any thing that has before
occurred of the extent to which the public mind
at the north has already become imbued with anti
slavery sentiments, when it can constrain such

To Be Remembered. A slaveholder with five
hundred slaves, has as much influence in control
ing the operations of our government as three
hundred freemen. These five hundred slaves ac
cording to Mr. Clay's estimate, are worth $20,000.
A freeman in Illinois may have a farm on which
he has stock to the value of 20,000; but he has no
more political mnuence lhan the poorest day la
borer. But the same man may sell out his cattle,
and invest the proceeds in negroes, and become a
citizen of Missouri, and he immediately acquires
the influence and importance ( three hundred of
th citizens of Illinois, his former neighbors and
associates. Is this just? Is there any more pro
priety in allowing the people of Missouri a repre
sentation on their slave property than the Illinois
freeman a representation on his horses and cattle?
The slave has no vote, and no more influence and
concern in our government than our horses. So
fr as the law and government are concerned, they
are to all intents and purposes property, i'ou
can see by this unjust, anti-democratic, aiiti-repub-licnn
regulation, why it is that the slaveholders
have such an influence in our government.

ing from Washington, says:
" A slaveholder told me yesterday that there
were more abolitionists at the South lhan at the

the servility of their Northern allies!
Slave Laws,
The following is a law of Georgia. "If any"
slave shall presume to strike any white person,
such slave shall, upon trial and conviction before"
the justice or justices, suffer such punishment for
the first oft'eftce as they shall think fi't.not extending
to life or limb; and for the second offence, death."
Prince's Digest, 450. The same law exists in Sv
Carolina, ivith this difference, that death is made
the punishment for the third offence. In both
states, the law contains this remarkable provision:
"Provided always, that such striking be not .frmn
by the command and in the defence of the person
or property of the owner or other person having
the government of stich slave, in which case the
slave shall be wholly excused." According to this
law, if a slave, by the direction of his overseer,
strike a white man who is beating said overseer's
dog, "the slave shall be wholly excused;" but if
the white man has rushed upon the slave himself,
instead of the dog and is furiously beatiag him, if
the slave strike back but a single blow, the legal
penalty is any punishment not extending to life or
limb;" and if the tortured slave has a second onset
made upon him, and, after suffering all but deatby
again eTrikes back in self-defence, the law kills
him for it. So, if a female slave, in obedience to
her mistress, and in defence of "her property,"
strike a white man who is kicking her mistress' pet
kitten, she "shall be wholly excused," saith the
considerate law; but if the unprotected girl, when
beaten and kicked hertelf, raise her hand against
her brutal assailant, the law condemns her to "any
punishment, not extending to life or limb;" and'ifa
wretch assail her again, and attempt to violate her
chastity, and the trembling girl, in her anguish and
terror, instinctively raises her hand against him in
self defence, she shall, saith the law, 'suffer deulh.
Reader, this diabolical law is the public expres
sion of Georgia and South Carolina toward the
slaves. This is the vaunted "protection" afforded
them by their "high-souled chivalry." To. show
that the "public opinion" of the slave states far
more effectually protects the property pf the mas
ter than the person of the slave, the reader is re
ferred to two laws of Louisiana, passed in 131 9.
The one attaches a penalty "not exceeding one
thousand dollars," and "imprisonment not exceed
ing two years," to the crime of "cuttinsr or hronk.
ing any iron chain or collar," which anv master-
of slaves has used to prevent their running away;
the other, 11 penalty "not exceeding five hundred'
dollars," to "wilfully cutting out the tongue, put
ting out the eve, cruelly hurninz, or depriving anv
slave of any limb." Look at il the most horri
ble dismemberinentconcoivable cannot he punished
by a fine of more than five hundred dollars. The
law expressly fixes that, as the utmost limit, and
it may not be half that sum; not a single moment's
imprisonment stays the wretch in his career, and
the next hour he may cut out another slave's
tongue, or burn bis band off. "But let ihe same
man break a chain put upon u slave, to keep him.
from running nwny, and, besides paying double
the penalty that could be', exacted from him for
cutting off a slave's leg, the la wt imprison him nol
exceeding years !

Lawbeat: Capital Region crime doesn't take a holiday
Updated 8:14 am, Wednesday, May 30, 2012
One of the great stories in New York state in the last 20 years has been its dramatic drop in crime.
In the Capital Region, that story is suddenly not looking so great — and not just because of a recent spate of violence in Albany in which seven people have been shot, one fatally, since May 12.
Rather, the details come in last year's numbers from the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
The data showed that in 2011, Schenectady County had the state's highest rate of index crimes, which cover murders, rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, burglaries, larcenies and stolen cars.
In Schenectady County, the rate of index crimes per 100,000 residents was 3,509.2. Albany County was second (3,458.1). Rensselaer stood eighth (2,923).
To put that in perspective, all three local counties showed higher crime rates than the Bronx (2,524.9), Brooklyn (2,345.6), Queens (1,779) and Staten Island (1,444.4). Meanwhile, Albany and Schenectady counties displayed higher rates than Manhattan (3,192.6), giving those two counties higher rates than every borough in New York City, which for decades was as infamous for crime as it is famous for Yankee baseball.
Schenectady County also showed the second-highest rate of violent crime in counties outside of New York City. It had 438.2 violent crimes reported per 100,000 residents in 2011. Albany County was third (379). Rensselaer County was seventh (302.8).
In 2011, Albany County additionally had the highest rate of property crimes reported per 100,000 residents (3,079.5). Schenectady ranked second (3,071), Rensselaer ninth (2,620.1).
The Capital Region was no slouch either in the rate of violent crimes involving firearms in counties outside of New York City. Schenectady County placed third with 80.4 violent gun crimes reported per 100,000 residents. Rensselaer County ranked fourth (69.9). Albany County was sixth (64.1).
In both those categories, topping the list was Erie County, which includes Buffalo. Erie had a violent crime rate of 455.1 and violent gun crime rate of 125.1. Monroe County (93.2) was second in violent gun crimes.
All the news was not bad for all the Capital Region.
More Information
Saratoga County had the state's eighth-lowest index crime rate (1,393.1), 12th-lowest property crime rate (1,333.7), fifth lowest violent crime rate (59.4) and sixth-lowest violent gun crime rate (3.6).
Two Albany County ADAs are moving on
Two prosecutors for Albany County District Attorney David Soares are departing the office.
Assistant District Attorney John Czajka, who worked in the office's financial crimes bureau, has accepted a position at the state Education Department. Assistant District Attorney Jarrod Sanford, who worked in the vehicular crimes bureau, is leaving for what the DA's office described as a "new career path" as an attorney.
In a statement, the DA's office commented that Czajka was presented with an opportunity and, "Unfortunately, due to the current fiscal state in Albany County, we were unable to match the salary of his new position."
The office credited Sanford for his work as a prosecutor in both Albany and previously Rensselaer County.
"He has served our community with honor and distinction," Soares' office stated. "We regretfully see them go and wish them both all the best in the future."
As for filling the gaps, it looks like the county's coffers can cover the salaries of two new prosecutors, and the DA's office said: "We are currently reviewing several resumes for applicants to fill the open positions."
Courthouse awarded yet another honor
Another week, another honor.
The Historic Albany Foundation has presented Albany County with its 2012 Preservation Merit Award for the renovation of the historic Albany County Courthouse, the latest honor for the refurbished 1916 landmark.
The foundation credited the renovation effort for showing a strong commitment to the city's historic architecture, noting it served as an example of the best practices for preservation.
In a release, Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy thanked the county's project manager, Jay Quackenbush, Envision Architects and the project management company, BBL Construction Services.
It comes a week after the Preservation League of New York State honored the courthouse with an award for Excellence in Historic Preservation. That honor was presented at the league's annual meeting and awards ceremony in New York City.
McCoy noted in his statement that the renovated courthouse holds state Supreme Court, Surrogate's Court, County Legislative Chambers, the County Clerk's and Sheriff's Offices. It also includes the six original courtrooms, a new courtroom, 10 judicial chambers, a new public law library, and a new eatery — the Courthouse Cafe.

Almost 20 years after the first UFC event, Roger Gracie (6-1) will continue his family's tradition as he makes his UFC debut against former Strikeforce title contender Tim Kennedy (15-4) at UFC 162, July 6.
Although Gracie has only seven fights on his record, he has spent most of his career fighting world champions. In 2006, he made his professional MMA debut against former WEC champion Ron Waterman (16-6-2). Gracie also has wins over former UFC champion Kevin Randleman (17-17) and King of Pancrase Yuki Kondo (54-27-8).
His only loss came to Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion Muhammad Lawal (10-2 1NC) back in 2011. Lawal, known to fans as "King Mo" knocked out Grace late in the first round.
Back in January, Gracie defeated Anthony Smith (17-10) with an arm-triangle choke in the second round.
Being a 2nd-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Gracie has all of the right tools to take Kennedy to the mat. Still, the former Strikeforce title contender has an extensive jiu-jitsu of his own and could give Gracie a challenge in the grappling game.
With UFC 162 taking place on one of the biggest weekends for the promotion, Gracie not only has a chance to show his talents to a larger audience, but also show the UFC that the Gracie name is still associated with the best fighters in the world.
How do you think Gracie will do in his UFC debut against Kennedy? Answer with a comment below or send a tweet to @alstover.

One-Pot Pasta
While on summer break, I did a lot of recipe reading, testing and tasting. In the process, I stumbled across a handful of "one-pot pasta" recipes and had been admittedly skeptical. Overcooked, mushy pasta…not my thang. Plus, how hard is it to have one pan for sauce and a second pot for boiling water? I'm all in favor of shortcuts but at some point aren't we just being lazy?
Well, maybe that's just it. Maybe I needed to be in full-on "lazy mode" (a.k.a. hiding away at my parents' house) to give this pasta cooking method a try. And when I finally did, it was an instant transformation from skeptic to believer.
Having only one large pot to clean (nevermind the absence of a colander) was nice, I suppose, but it was the flavor that won me over. In this recipe, which I adapted from Joy the Baker, the pasta cooks in a sweet onion broth, absorbing the flavor in a way that can't be replicated with traditional pasta cooking methods. And mushy? Not a chance. Just follow the timing outlined below and you'll end up with perfectly al dente pasta.
This dish is a real winner so start heating your olive oil and slicing those onions. When the bowls are licked clean and your one pot is washed and put away, let me know if you're a believer.
- 3 medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced
- 3 Tbls olive oil
- 1 Tbls unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tsp fresh thyme or 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 c water
- 3 c chicken broth (can substitute vegetable broth)
- 1 lb uncooked spaghetti
- a bag of baby spinach or arugula (about 4 cups)
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- Parmesan cheese
- crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- Place a large stockpot over medium heat.
- Add the olive oil and butter and stir until butter is melted.
- Add the sliced onions all at once. Stir to coat the onions in the fat. Allow onions to cook, undisturbed, for about 4 minutes.
- Add salt, pepper and thyme and stir. Allow the onions to cook for about 4 minutes at a time, before stirring.
- Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly. The onions will begin to brown, break down, and caramelize.
- When onions are entirely browned and completely soft (anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on how low and slow you're cooking the onions), add the water and chicken broth to the pot. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any burned bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Return to medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add the pasta and stir to submerge in the liquid. Place the lid on the pot and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid to toss and stir the pasta, for about 3 minutes--(You can taste the pasta at this point to reassure yourself that it is not overcooking).
- Return the lid and allow to cook for another 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add the spinach or arugula, stirring to incorporate. There will be just under an inch of liquid in the pot.*
- Taste the pasta for doneness and allow it to cook a couple of minutes more if the pasta is still crunchy. It should be al dente and if not, very close.
- Taste for salt and pepper and adjust as desired.
- To serve, spoon into large bowls, top with parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
- You want to take the pot off the heat while there is still a bit of the broth remaining. The pasta will absorb more of the liquid while it sits for a couple of minutes before serving.

I was driving to the office Thursday when a co-worker called and told me that Javorris Jackson had been arrested in Michigan and charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his fiancee, Courtney Solomon.
That he had turned the gun on himself, police said, and was in a hospital bed receiving treatment for a gunshot wound to his chest. Ex-SSU standout Javorris Jackson held in slaying
No way. Javorris Jackson, the Savannah State football player? Not "J.J.," whose million-dollar smile lit up a room. Can't be Savannah's guy. Not in a million years.
When my co-worker verified that it was SSU's Javorris Jackson, tears filled my eyes. I had to pull off the road.
Tears are flowing at SSU, where so many of Javorris' teammates and coaches, classmates and teachers, are in sheer disbelief.
Tears are flowing in Dayton, Ohio, where Javorris' former SSU coach, Theo Lemon, said he felt numb.
Tears are flowing in Greensboro, Ala., where Javorris' aunt, Wanda Travis, raised him and his brother, Grady Jackson, now a defensive lineman for the NFL's Detroit Lions.
Tears are flowing in Southfield, Mich., where Javorris' aunt and uncle, Mary and Alfred Hoskins, raised him since he was in the eighth grade. Javorris went to live with them when Grady left their home in Alabama to play for Hinds Community College in Raymond, Miss., and later for Knoxville (Tenn.) College.
Tears are flowing in Lathrup Village, Mich., Solomon's hometown.
No answers
"We're all trying to figure out what's going on and everything, just trying to figure out if he did do it or why," Grady Jackson said by telephone late Thursday. "We're trying to find out the 'whys' and things like that. I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet. He was on a life-support machine, but he's doing better. He's hanging in there."
Grady's voice cracked. After pausing, he said Courtney was Javorris' fiancee. He said she was not pregnant. He said he did not know if a third person was involved.
"Javorris hasn't been able to talk," Grady said. "There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. There's a lot more to it. Everybody is trying to figure out what's really going on."
Grady paused again. He breathed deeply and then continued.
"From our family, we send our sympathies out to her family. It's bad when you lose a loved one. We understand what her family is going through. We send our deepest apology. We want to thank everybody for keeping Javorris in their prayers."
Lemon called it a tragedy.
"If this was a crime of passion, then all bets are off," Lemon said. "There's no telling what was going on inside his head if this was a crime of passion, and that sounds like what this is.
Always upbeat
"Javorris is a very happy-go-lucky person, one of the nicest persons you'd ever want to meet. He's always upbeat. You knew he would always bring a smile."
SSU senior Marcus Darrisaw, a cornerback who anchored the Tigers' defense with Javorris last season, said no one can believe the allegations against the honorable mention All-America free safety.
Darrisaw said Isaiah Osborne, an SSU senior wide receiver last season and Javorris' teammate at Vermilion Community College in Ely, Minn., was en route from Savannah to Michigan to see Javorris.
"It's hard to believe because J.J. is such a good person," said Darrisaw, who played against Javorris and Isaiah when he was at Hibbing (Minn.) Community College. "He's giving. If he's got it, we've got it. We talk to J.J. about everything. He's like an older brother to all of us. Everybody is hurt and shocked. We're praying for J.J. to pull through.
"I had 34 missed calls last night. I didn't even pick up. I didn't feel like talking to anybody. People were texting and calling. I just don't want to talk to anybody. I don't know what's going on. All I know is my brother is in the hospital, and that's all that matters."

Typically, holiday decorations take up a lot of space when they aren't in use, so why not keep them in a storage facility?
Self-storage is a great way to keep your holiday decorations fresh and like new each and every year.
Make the decision to take your decorations to a self-storage facility as soon as you take them down. Self-storage units with extra space and shelves are perfect for your holiday decorations. Self-storage is the best way to keep your decor looking brand new.
A big problem with people storing their decorations at home is that they don't have enough space so they get ruined. A climate controlled storage area is an option among many others at A Storage. To avoid clutter in your home, come see us at A Storage for an affordable storage option. If you're looking to save money, self storage is the more prudent choice over a storage addition to your home.
Without the right kind of storage facility, your items may not make it as long as you'd like.
Keeping Your Belongings Organized
Self-storage with added shelving allows you to make every square inch of your storage unit useful. There are certain tasks that you must accomplish when it's time to store your items:
First you want to label everything, then put the biggest boxes down so you have a sturdy base, and you need to keep your most frequently used items up front.
Keeping the self-storage unit well organized is important. Your holiday decorations are less likely to break if the boxes aren't moved around as much. The best way to store bins in a small storage area is to keep them pushed against the wall.
