A Pennsylvania native, and author of 28 publica-tions to date, Maurice Price’s latest novel “A Son's Demise Is A Mother's Grief allows readers to experience the pain and heartache a mother suffers after losing a child to violence. In the book, Price not only addresses the ordeal of the victim’s mother, but also the parallel grief of the assailant's mother.
Confronted by the grief of dealing with the death of loved ones and close friends in his own life, it was the pain and sorrow that Price felt while mourning that led him to writing. “I decided to find an avenue to release what I felt”, explains Price. With the ink of my pen, I decided to write
about the events in my own life.”
However, Price encountered a barrier. He was not proficient in the ar-eas of reading and writing. Price’s first step was to enroll in a col-lege writing course in order to master this new passion for expressing his ideas. Through his studies, Price quickly learned how to craft a story. Consequently, as Price’s writing skills improved, so did his ability to read. Determined, Price devoured any reading materials that would teach him how to create a plot and develop characters and set-tings.
It was his struggle to find a solution and avenue to deal with his pain
and grief, caused by errors in his own judgment, that finally allowed Price to see the big picture by realizing the power he had to change lives with his pen. Six years later, Price is co-owner of JD2 Publication, the publication and production company responsible for putting out “A Son’s Demise Is A Mother’s Grief”. -Edited by David Nazario

The Good and the Bad about DJing
By: Kevin Flowers When I first started playing music I was about 13 years old, I think my first gig was in the Elks basement. Back then we called them record hops they cost 25 cents to get in. I put one record on and played the record and when it was done I took it off as fast as I could and put another one on. As you can see there were no turntables or no mixer but we still had so much fun. As I grew older people would ask me to bring my records to house parties to play music for them. I always had the love for music as a kid listening to my father play 45s at home. Now further down the road at the age of 20 I stared spinning music at a club called Club Mystique. It was my first real DJ
job man by the name of John Kalina. I worked at that club for about three years and in those three years there were two other DJs that came along. Johnny V and Prince Of Funk we all get along pretty good. Prince had gone his way but Johnny and I stayed together but also went our separate ways. In those days everybody looked out for everybody we were like family if you needed something we were there for each other. That was beautiful. As years went by I was not spinning mu-sic anymore but in 2000 I started spinning music again. Then that was when I noticed how much the game had changed. Nobody’s there for one another like we used to be. It’s like everybody wants to be on top and that’s not what it is about its about having fun and being there for each other. Now as for me I had to find out the hard way I am only talking about me in particular. As a married man it’s a hard game the temptation is unbelievable at times it makes me sick. The things that people will do if you are a DJ.I am just saying what I have experienced since I came back into the game. As a DJ I had found out that you really have to know who your friends are and who aren’t your friends everybody who says they got you they don’t. You have to remember that this is a business and in business you have very few friends. So if you want to be a DJ just remember that you have to take the good the bad and the ugly. If you ever need my help I am there for you but for right now I am going to have to take the back seat on this. I hope in 2012 that every DJ has a blessed year keep in touch Kevin Flowers also know as The
Legendary Dr. Tip Toe.
Peace

AMEN, BROTHER AL.
The following is a message from Al Sharpton to Herman Cain.
The greeting on your website says, "we are looking forward to hearing from you", but I'm not sure
you will be looking forward to hearing from me, Mr. Cain.
I saw on the internet that you called the President a liar. I deplore what you are doing and the
things you are saying about the President in order to gain favor with these greedy, thieving, selfish,
Republicans. How dare you call President Obama a liar. You are a pathetic, obviously brainwashed
black man who has lost his way and his mind. You have had opportunity and a smattering of privi-
lege in America that has made you forget your roots. I despise people like you and Clarence
Thomas, and you both have Georgia roots.
What is it with you black men from the south who grow up in an oppressed environment and end
up siding with the oppressor? The recent case of Troy Davis in Georgia is an excellent example of
the present day oppression and legal lynching that still takes place in that state and in this country.
The political party that you praise so highly is presently enacting laws to suppress the black vote,
the student vote, and many elderly voters across this entire country. Yet, you choose to stand
with people who display such obscene and un-American behavior. You would throw black people
(including the President of the U.S.) and others under the bus to curry favor with these non-caring
and hedonistic people.
You were there when your Republican cohorts cheered about the death penalty which dispropor-
tionately affects black men and women in this country - some of whom have been proven to be
innocent. You should be ashamed to stand with these people and yet, you appear to be proud of
such an association.
Yes, President Obama does believe in fairness and sharing the responsibility of the tax burden, it is
not socialism nor is it class warfare, and he is not a liar for saying it. That kind of rhetoric from you
and those with whom you identify is nothing more than a weak defense for the greedy and despic-
able philosophy that you choose to embrace.
You had the unmitigated gall to tell Wolf Blitzer on CNN that two thirds of African-American
people are brainwashed and incapable of thinking for themselves. You are surely touched in the
head. The millions of us who are capable of thinking for ourselves - we know who is really brain-
washed - you - brainwashed whiter than snow.
Do you really think those people with whom you stand on the debating platform really respect you
and see you as their equal? They as well as others see you as a joke and a person who is engaging
in buffoonery. A Republican majority House and Senate would never pass your "so called" 999
plan. They would never deem it in their best interest. Besides, there are many who believe your
plan is a coded message from Satan. If you flip the numbers they become the 666 plan.
You will never be President of this country, and I thank God for that. I must say, you certainly live
up to your last name. Just as Cain in the Bible so blatantly slew his brother, you are equally willing
to do the same politically and economically to millions of black and middle class citizens of this
country. Such behavior is extremely ugly, and need I remind you, Mr. Cain, that God does not like
ugly.
