Al Pacino played the crime boss Tony Montana in this reimagining of Scarface, written by Oliver Stone. It was set in several places around Miami and saw Montana rise to the top of the drug world before his greed and drug use eventually brought him down in a sea of bullets. It was a startling reflection of the "Cocaine Cowboys" days around Miami in the late 1970's and early 1980's. It also had iconic quotes including, "Say hello to my little friend," and "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
The Godfather, Part II
Arguably the best movie in the trilogy, the Godfather II showed how Michael Corleone took full control of his crime family, while also showing the early years when his father, Vito, first started the crime family. Michael Corleone made a special trip to Miami in the movie to meet with fellow crime-lord Hymen Roth. Miami became another front in the Corleone crime syndicate in the movie.
The seemingly timeless movie of a caddy teaming up with Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase was shot at what was then known as the Rolling Hills Golf Course, now known as the Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie, Fla. The movie had iconic moments and some of the best one-liners in a movie, mainly coming from Dangerfield. Among some of his more iconic quotes, "Hey baby you must have been something before electricity," and "Hey Smails, my dinghy's bigger than your whole boat."
There's Something About Mary
If you didn't laugh when a certain body part got stuck, or when they found the hair gel, c'mon. While cheesy, the movie was full of laughs and set heavily in South Florida. The movie made Cameron Diaz a film hottie and pushed Ben Stiller's name higher in the comedy genre. Plus, it has a cameo from an NFL Hall of Fame primadonna, Brett Favre.
The movie, set in 1954, was shot at Miami Central High and released in 1982. The movie featured a gang of high schoolers trying to lose their virginity before teaming up to take out a nightclub owner who beat one of the teens nearly to death. The movie is full of practical jokes and teen problems, including a problematic teacher named Balbricker.

Tax electric cars by the mile? 'The gas tax cannot survive'
EUGENE, Ore. -- Myron Chadowitz loves his new electric Chevy Volt.
"I love that it's fast, it's zippy and fun to drive," said Chadowitz.
The feature that tops it all for Chadowitz: he hasn't had to top off the gas tank since he bought the car in April.
If electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid cars do not consume gasoline, they don't have to pay the state gas tax.
Legislators are looking to change that.
The Oregon State Legislature is trying to figure out ways to generate more money for road projects and construction.
One idea is to charge drivers of electric and plug-in hybrid cars a fee per mile driven.
A task force - created by the state legislature - will begin a pilot program in the fall to look at ways to generate more funding.
"The gas tax cannot survive over time and we've got to examine a replacement," said Oregon Department of Transportation manager James Whitty. Whitty is part of the ODOT Office of Innovative Partnerships and Alternative Funding.
Chadowitz said he understands why the government would want the revenue but has a few concerns. "It makes sense, but I'm taxed on electricity. I don't know how they would track it ... how they would pull it off," he said.
According to Whitty, there would be an app on your mobile device and it would be connected to an on-board device. The app would track a driver's mileage, sending information to the government.
If a driver doesn't have a mobile phone, a tracking device would be put in the car. This tracking device would not use GPS.
Whitty said the state government needs more money to work on projects. "ODOT is having to go through cuts right now to be able to keep up the road system and projects are in jeopardy right now," he said.
With the proposed fee, Whitty said drivers would pay approximately 1.56 cents per mile.

text: Marjorie Stinson, Holland's Magazine, January 1918 Marjorie Stinson and her sister Katherine were pioneer women aviators. The Stinson sisters operated a flight school in San Antonio on the site of the present-day San Antonio airport. In 1915, Marjorie Stinson became the only woman in the U.S. Aviation Reserve Corps, and in 1916 she began training cadets from the Royal Canadian Flying Corps for service in World War I. Her teaching methods earned her the nickname, "The Flying Schoolmarm." Holland's magazine profiled Stinson in 1918 in an article entitled "A Young Girl's Perilous Bit." Holland's reported that "Little Miss Stinson, young as she is, has brains in her head which she uses to her own great benefit and also to the benefit of her country." After the war, Stinson barnstormed the country doing stunt flying at county fairs and airports. She retired from flying in 1928 and became a draftsman for the U.S. Navy's Aeronautical Division. She retired from her job in 1945 and devoted the rest of her life to researching the history of aviation. She died in 1975. During World War II, Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) were trained at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, for duty throughout the United States. WASPs freed men for combat by ferrying military aircraft, transporting personnel and medical patients, towing aerial gunnery targets, testing aircraft in battle simulation, giving instrument instruction, and testing damaged aircraft. Over 1000 women served as WASPs, and 38 were killed in the line of duty. Despite their service, the WASPs were considered civilian employees and were not awarded veterans status until 1977. The unit was disbanded near the end of the war. Not until the 1970s would another woman be allowed to pilot a military aircraft.

Wait! Before you throw it away, think for a second. Can you use it for something else? Frugality is not only saving your money when purchasing, it is saving your money by getting everything out of what you have already purchased. I read somewhere that the frugal person's motto was the same as the environmentalist's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. If we all followed that motto, we'd save a lot of resources, in our homes and around the world.
For starters, what about that stale bread? Or those end slices no one wants to eat? Whatever you do, don't throw them away!
Here are just a few ideas of what you can do with stale bread:
- -bread pudding
- -croutons
- -stuffing
- -french toast
- -grilled/toasted sandwiches
- -and my personal favorite, bread crumbs
How to Make Bread Crumbs
Whenever I have stale bread, or leftover chunks or pieces, I never throw them away. Instead, I use it to make bread crumbs. If I don't have time at the moment, I bag them and put them in the freezer until I do. Some people keep a bag in their freezer for just such a purpose; every time they have some extra bread, they throw it in there and make a big batch of bread crumbs when they've collected enough.
Bread crumbs can be used for a variety of purposes, the main one being to bread meat such as chicken or fish before baking it. This adds flavor and texture. Bread crumbs are also used in meat loaf, or as a topping for a casserole or cooked vegetables. They also add nice crunch and a pretty touch sprinkled on thick soups, such as potato or chowders.
There are about as many different ways and methods of making bread crumbs as there are uses for them, but this is what I do:
Easy Bread Crumbs
Rip the bread into chunks and place in a food processor. Process until fine. Add spices to your liking (I like to use Italian spices such as oregano, basil, parsley, etc.), even grated parmesan cheese or garlic or onion powder, and pulse once or twice in the processor to blend it together. Spread in a fine layer on a cookie sheet and leave in a warm oven until very dry. I like to leave it in there for quite some time – half an hour or so – just to be sure all the moisture is gone so I can store it longer. Cool the bread crumbs and store in a tightly covered container (I reuse an applesauce jar for this purpose) in the cupboard. Alternatively, you can store it in a plastic bag in the freezer.
For meat loaf and some other uses, you may want soft bread crumbs. In this case, all you need to do is pulse the bread chunks in the food processor a couple times until you have coarse crumbs. Keep those crumbs in the freezer until your next meat loaf! Check more blogs here.

If you love organising schemes, resources and people, a career as a project manager may suit you
As a project manager it is your responsibility to deliver projects on time and in budget, by planning and organising resources and people.
You'll need to track work to be completed, set deadlines and delegate tasks to the project team, identifying any potential risks.
Ultimately, you are responsible for completing the project work in line with the plan and will often report progress to senior managers.
Types of work
Project managers work in a variety of sectors, such as:
- construction;
- engineering;
- marketing.
Positions can be advertised under a variety of titles, including:
- assistant project manager;
- business change manager;
- junior/senior project manager;
- project coordinator;
- project officer.
While job titles may vary, you will use the same skills to deliver projects in the workplace.
Project managers are accountable for delivering outcomes, so you'll have high levels of responsibility to ensure that you and your team are on track. Regardless of the content of the project and the sector you are working in, all projects follow a standard process, as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI) UK. These are:
- initiating - checking feasibility and working out budgets, teams and resources;
- planning - setting goals, defining roles and producing schedules of tasks. Some tools, such as Gantt Charts, can be used to create a visual project plan;
- executing - managing the project;
- monitoring and controlling - tracking the project's progress;
- closing - evaluating successes and challenges to enhance learning for your next project.
As a project manager, you'll need to:
- set objectives in line with your organisation or client needs, which may include scope, content, timings and budget;
- plan work and set deadlines to meet the agreed needs;
- select, lead and motivate your project team from both internal and external stakeholder organisations;
- monitor the work to make sure it is on time and within budget;
- co-ordinate the work of your project team and delegate tasks where appropriate;
- identify and manage risks to ensure delivery is on time;
- implement any changes throughout the process;
- report regularly to management and the client.
- Starting salaries for project managers are between £20,000 and £35,000, depending on the sector. For example, marketing pays less than IT.
- Experienced project managers can earn between £40,000 and £80,000, depending on the sector.
- Freelance project managers will negotiate a daily rate for the duration of their contract, with average rates between £300 and £500 a day.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working hours
You can expect to work normal business hours Monday to Friday, but this will vary for each sector. You may be expected to work additional hours to meet deadlines and paid overtime is unlikely.
Working hours will vary if you are working freelance, and short-term contracts for the duration of specific projects are available.
What to expect
- You'll lead a project team to meet tight deadlines, which means you may be working under pressure.
- A professional dress code and working environment will be the norm, however this may vary for different sectors.
- Most of the time you'll be office based but you should expect to travel to visit clients and attend project team meetings.
- Project management is a growth area with increasing opportunities.
You can get into project management with a degree in any subject. However, studying towards a foundation degree, HND or degree in business or project management will provide practical knowledge about the commercial aspects of projects.
Postgraduate study in project management will increase your understanding but is not a pre-requisite to employment. Search for postgraduate courses in project management.
Degrees accredited by the Association for Project Management (APM) are listed on their website.
As a new graduate you are unlikely to go straight into project management. Some graduate schemes may start you off in a junior or assistant project manager position, with the opportunity to progress to management as you develop experience.
In some sectors, such as IT and engineering, your subject knowledge will be more important than a business or project management degree. You can move into project management from technical roles after gaining experience in a project team or in a supporting administrative role.
To be a project manager, you'll need:
- excellent organisation skills to plan the use of people and resources to meet deadlines;
- strong interpersonal skills to motivate and lead your project team;
- the ability to monitor and control budgets;
- good communication and negotiation skills to manage expectations;
- the ability to use your initiative and make decisions under pressure.
Technical knowledge related to the project may also be required.
Work experience
Work experience in managing resources, costs and people will help you to get into project management - look for opportunities in supporting roles, such as administrator, coordinator and scheduling positions.
If you are successful in supporting project roles, there may be opportunity to formalise your experience and undertake professional qualifications to progress into management.
Extra-curricular clubs and societies, including the international organisation Enactus, can help to develop your project skills. Technical work placements will develop your sector knowledge and skills, increasing your credibility as a project manager.
You can join a professional body, such as the APM or the PMI, as a student member. This may provide opportunities to network with other professionals, keep your skills up to date through training, events, news and publications, as well as pointing you towards job opportunities.
As a project manager, you can work in a variety of sectors in both public and private sector organisations, such as:
- architecture;
- construction;
- engineering;
- manufacturing;
- retail.
Larger organisations employ project managers, whereas smaller companies are more likely to hire freelance project managers. Some specialist project management consultancy firms have graduate entry schemes. Professional services outsourcing firms also provide project managers for short-term contracts.
You are most likely to progress into project management through support or technical roles on project teams, so developing your professional network will help you to keep up to date with any job openings.
When you can demonstrate success, you can send speculative applications highlighting your relevant project and sector-specific experience.
Most project work is in addition to the core day-to-day activities of the business, for example implementing a new internal system. This means that you may be able to work as a freelance project manager on a short-term contract. If you develop a niche area of expertise you may be approached with opportunities.
Look for job vacancies at:
Professional development
Taking professional qualifications before entering a project management role is not essential, as employers provide training for new recruits.
You are likely to develop your skills on the job through formal, accredited-training courses. As a project manager, you may be expected to apply standard methods and techniques such as:
- PRINCE2, which is the commonly used accredited approach for end-to-end project management, and is available at two levels: Foundation, for project support staff, and Practitioner, for project managers;
- Agile Project Management, which works well in fast-moving environments, such as IT.
You can also gain professional qualifications through these organisations:
- Association for Project Management (APM)
- Chartered Management Institute (CMI)
- Project Management Institute (PMI) UK
Sector specific organisations, such as The Chartered Institute for IT (BCS), also offer professional qualifications.
Your employer may provide software training on packages such as Microsoft Project or Open Workbench to help you monitor your projects.
Career prospects
You will develop transferable skills, which will help you progress either in project management or general management.
To help your career prospects, you may want to look into joining professional bodies and undertake further qualifications to make sure your skills are up to date.
With greater experience in project management, you could progress to programme manager, where you would be responsible for a team of project managers. Programme managers report directly to senior management and work at a strategic level.
The next level up consists of project management office (PMO) manager, where you would focus on ensuring a consistent approach across all project work within the organisation. This role requires strong project management skills.
Alternatively, you could apply your leadership skills and move into senior management roles. Progression within senior management can include positions such as head of department, director or chief executive.

Matt Damon may have cut his leading-man action teeth as Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Identity," but after three flicks, the two have broken up. Or, rather, Matt found out via the Web that Jeremy Renner was stepping in as a new lead character for "The Bourne Legacy," according to the January issue of GQ. Was Matt getting too old to be Bourne, or will Jeremy fall on his face as new guy Aaron Cross? There's just one way to decide: a faceoff.

Tutorial Volume 8: Create Comic Book Page
I used adobe photoshop 7. you can probably use older versions as well. With this graphic tutorial you can
create a comic book cover or page out of a comic book. This comic book image is one which
I have created for UC Davis VSA Organization as a splash for their new website, yet to be published. So please
use this tutorial to help you, but recreate exactly what I have shown you. thanks. e-mail me with any questions. So lets begin.
1- Lets begin by creating a blank canvas 750x721 by hitting ctrl+N
2- lets first do the outline of our comic book page. Use the rectangle tool and
draw out a box like how I have in the screenshot. also lets add some basic shadow
effects as well as a stroke effect so it stands out. The stroke should be set to the inside at 1px with a color of black.
here is how the shadow settings should like:
3- Next we will add the different boxes that seperates each frame of the comic.
You can do as many as you like and whatever shape you like. it just depends on the
story you are trying to convey. on those boxes you make, lets add a 4px black stroke on the outside of these boxes.
for me this is how it looks:
4- Next is teh creative part. This section depends on your story. For me, i just put random images in from UC DAVIS VSA
organization since I design this comic book image as a splash for their new webpage. To insert it, I simply did it the long way, but
very easy.
First resize your image to the right size you want it, then just drag it ontop of the boxes you made. use the
FREE TRANSFORM tool (located on the top EDIT toolbar)to resize it more into detail
so it fits right inside the strokes you made, so the strokes are showing.
An easier way, is just to skip the box step, and simply
just add your images in and resize them accordingly and then just go to BLENDING OPTIONS by right clicking on the Layer image, and give it the same
4px black stroke you gave the boxes in the previous steps.
the reason i didnt do this was simply, i thought of it afterwards, and was to
lazy to go back and edit. I also added some minor color details,
what I have done if you have any specific questions, email me, otherwise they are pretty basic modifications:
5- Next, Lets add the "thought" bubbles in with some text. Once again, this part depends on what your story is about
and what you want your images to say. Go to shapes tool, and select custom shape tool, last one on the list, then go to the top menu and select
the thought bubble shape. Here is how you do that:
6- Once again, like how you did your images and boxes from the previous steps, give these thought
bubbles a stroke effect and a color-overlay of your choice. i did some white and some pale yellow. Also lets add
text to the thought bubbles:
7- Ok, now to the other images, I am going to add some desciptive text inside of a pale yellow box.
The box, once again give it a stroke using blending options. In the screen shot I have circled in RED the areas that i am talking bout.
8- We are almost done. the areas That i have circled & numbered in Red is what needs to be done now.
1) add in a creative title 2) throw in a barcode and extra text, your choice, i just put the name of the school 3) add if you like the URL of the site (or you can just leave this out. you can leave all of it out if you want!)
9- Okay, last step, i added some "books" into the background behind the actual comic just for kicks!

She will never expect these Best of the Best
Get ready for a creative adventure on the
Start by tea dying some paper to make a map or download the printable map pack. Here's a step-by-step guide.
When you have your map it's time to stash the loot (small present or picnic). Head out a few hours before the hunt begins and hide the treasure out of sight. It's pretty important that your map guides to this spot…
When you're on the date simply give subtle clues like 'warmer/cooler' rather than telling them where to go. A huge amount of the fun on this date is solving the clues and getting to the reward at the end.
(she'll never expect the popcorn!)
When you arrive back home together she'll never expect a drive in cinema to be set up in the garage! That's when you bust out the popcorn and blankets for extra romance!
Start the night with a simple dinner out like burgers or burritos. These really fit the theme of the old school drive in cinemas. If you act like there's nothing planned for afterwards she'll be totally shocked as the garage door rolls up. This surprise is the highlight of the date night and makes it totally memorable!
Transform your home into an adventure date night!
In this fun date night your partners going to be 'lost in time' on a creative narrative journey like no other! She will need to solve some challenges to get to the end of the story but you'll be there the whole time to help her out and make it romantic.
This date idea on those Escape Rooms where a player enters a locked room and needs to find clues that help them get out. Usually these are elaborate adventure experiences run as a full business but you can make one for her at home easily by simply printing these clues.
The pack contains everything you need to run your own escape challenge. All you need to do it print them out as photos at a nearby office store. With clues in hand go round each room in your house and follow the instructions for what to hide where.
Looking around the the 'locked room' the player finds:
Once the clues have been found the player needs to deduce that the date on the postcard is the same length as the combination. This 'opens' the safe where the key is!
On the night explain to your partner that this is a creative role play adventure date which you'll be helping her through. Don't worry if she's not that much into mental challenges as it's designed to be solvable.
When the game begins simply follow the script for each location as she solves the puzzles. You will need to give her a few clues, act in character, hand her 'objects' when puzzles are solved. Most importantly you're there to make it a fun date night since she gets to do it with you!
Bonus: Meet again for the 'first time' on an
Meet at a bar or gig as random strangers with new names, personalities, clothing, life stories, interests, goals and dreams.
This makes for a mega different date night and has plenty of room for creative flex when choosing your alter ego!
Go on – be flamboyant, or crazy, or that strange guy who's into extreme hot dog eating! Just be someone totally different to you and keep it secret from your partner. Here's an Alter Ego Builder to get you started.
On the night be ready to bust out your best pick up lines, that meeting a new girl charm and enough swagger to carry the night through to a the couples affair of a lifetime!

Research Agenda
My research articulates rhetorical activity beyond the model of rhetoric as discrete, autonomous human individuals engaging in rational, discursive deliberation. Rhetoric has traditionally been concerned with both agents and agencies: our abilities to move others to action by means of persuasion. Historically, this "our" has been human and this "persuasion" has been symbolic or discursive. That is, rhetoric is people getting other people to do things by means of speech, writing, and other forms of symbolic action (e.g., music and math). Recent work in rhetorical theory has begun to question this basic understanding of rhetoric. Following what we might call a new materialist turn in rhetoric (which resonates with similar turns in literary studies, philosophy, political science, and sociology), I am increasingly interested in ecological rhetorics wherein rhetoric is produced between and among bodies, human and nonhuman, through both discursive and non-discursive activity. In short, what is the place of the nonhuman and the non-symbolic in the work of persuasion? More specifically, my research addresses new materialism's impact on areas of rhetorical theory such as environmentalism, technology, and public rhetoric. I recently published a short piece on infrastructure, Google Maps, and art that serves as a representative anecdote of this work.
To feed this interest, I've renewed my relationship with the work of Bruno Latour and forged new research relationships with work in new materialism (e.g., Jane Bennett, Karen Barad) and science and technology studies (STS) (e.g., Annemarie Mol, John Law, Andrew Pickering). Several recent publications have operationalized this research for traditional rhetorical concerns. I am at work on two, related book projects. The first, titled Geocomposition, describes and reflects upon a pedagogy of rhetoric and composition designed to explore how writing and rhetoric move and how this movement shapes both rhetorical activity and the locations it inhabits. The primary goal of geocomposition is to write on the move in order to compose the multiple layers of public places. The second, titled The Strange Defense of Rhetoric, articulates Bruno Latour and Richard Lanham in arguing that rhetoric and its key terms (e.g., kairos, attention, and agency) are always at stake in rhetorical interaction (they are effects rather than causes). I also just completed an edited collection (co-edited with Paul Lynch) exploring the impact of Bruno Latour on rhetoric and composition: Thinking with Bruno Latour in Rhetoric and Composition at Southern Illinois University Press (2015).
My work has appeared in
- Rhetoric Society Quarterly
- Quarterly Journal of Speech
- College Composition and Communication
- College English
- Rhetoric Review
- Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology and Pedagogy
- Enculturation: A Journal of Rhetoric, Writing, and Culture
- Technical Communication Quarterly
- Journal of Technical Writing and Communication
- Rhetoric and Public Affairs
- The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy
- O-Zone: A Journal of Object-Oriented Studies
- Present Tense: A Journal of Rhetoric in Society
- Janus Head: Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature, Continental Philosophy, Phenomenological Psychology, and the Arts
Running through all of my publications is an understanding of rhetoric as a practice and a field of study that always exists alongside various scientific and humanistic disciplines. For more details about my research, please visit the current projects and recent publications pages. Here is a short video that captures some of what I am up to right now:

Goldsboro Partners Against Crime
By John Joyce
Published in News on March 26, 2013 7:05 AM
He spoke as if he were alone in the room with them.
He talked to them as though any one of them might have been the one who killed his son.
Then, he addressed them as if they were his sons.
Craig Doubt Jr., whose son and namesake was shot and killed just before his 19th birthday in 2008, addressed the 10 parolees and known violent offenders called into the City Council chamber Tuesday night by the Goldsboro Partners Against Crime.
Doubt was one of the speakers who were trying to reach out to the men, to convince them that they needed to change their lives before it is too late.
Police Capt. Teresa Cox also addressed the young men brought in for intervention. She wasn't in uniform, and she wasn't wearing a badge.
She said she knew them and their stories, and they knew hers as well. She lost her son to violence. The story was difficult to recount, but she did so anyway, hoping that telling it one more time might reach them.
Representatives from Wayne County Public Schools, The Goldsboro Housing Authority, and Rebuilding Broken Places also were there.
They spoke on behalf of a community whose mothers are grieving and whose children are in fear, whose citizens say they are fed up with the violence plaguing the city and Wayne County.
The men, seated in the front three rows of the council room, listened to each speaker intently. Had they chosen to look away, they would have found the faces still speaking to them, displayed on three video monitors positioned around the chamber. The message was inescapable.
"They are here because they made bad choices. Now they will have one last chance to make the right choice," said Allison Pridgen, student support services director for the Wayne County Public Schools.
Following the community comments and the stories about loss and the heartfelt pleas for change, a group representing law enforcement filed in from an adjacent room. They took the seats behind the bench, with placards noting their positions: U.S. Marshal, ATF, DEA, district attorney, U.S. attorney.
Goldsboro police Chief Jeff Stewart and Wayne County Sheriff Carey Winders opened the law enforcement side of the GPAC presentation with stern messages. Stewart said that he cared about the young men there before him, but that he cared more about protecting the community.
Winders was even more stern.
"I don' have to give my inmates anything but three meals a day. You want a phone call. I don't have to give you phones. I'll turn your (phones) off," Winders said.
He acknowledged that the jail is overcrowded, but he said he had plenty of side cells and solitary confinement space available.
"If that doesn't satisfy, I have no problem sending you out of the county," he said.
The ATF and DEA representatives talked about their jobs as well. Both said that the next gun or drug crime any one of the men committed would carry a minimum sentence of 10-15 years. District Attorney Branny Vickory spoke up and backed their claim.
"You've been flagged. Any contact you have with law enforcement anywhere, I'm going to get notified," Vickory said.
Between Vickory's office and the U.S. Attorney's office, whichever can prosecute for the harshest sentence will take the case of any of the offenders who have now been notified. And since they have been notified, if they decide to offend again, there will be zero tolerance, zero leniency and sentences in the range of 30 to 40 years, or life.
Vickory added one final fact after all the statements by all the law enforcement and court personnel.
"The death penalty is still on the table," he said.
He told of a man he had sent away for murder who committed another murder while incarcerated. Vickory and Assistant District Attorney Matthew Delbridge attended the man's execution. They sat with his mother and watched as she wept and her son died. Vickory was blunt. He told the offenders this could ultimately be their fate and that it could be their mother crying.
The first-ever GPAC call-in concluded with a short video and some handouts from community service providers, including Francine Smith, program director at Rebuilding Broken Places.
"I'm your mother. I'm your sister. I'm your auntie," she told the men. She said that she has sons and nephews who look like them and when she looks at them that's whom she sees, "and I don't want to see them sitting here."
She said if they wanted help, she would help them. She offered programs that teach trade skills, education in entrepreneurship.
Councilman Bill Broadway came away from the session impressed.
"This is a first for Goldsboro. It shows how serious we are about stopping violence," he said.
He went on to say that he thought the message was loud and clear, that "We're tired of it. We're just simply tired of it."
Stewart and GPAC coordinator Sgt. Theresa Chiero were visibly relieved afterward, and spoke about the amount of work that went into the program. Both remained optimistic about the program and hope that, as was said throughout the night, "if we reach just one of them ... it starts with one."
