Lady Tigers add seven recruits

By admin, 11 August, 2010, 1 Comment

Jasmain Carey from Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School and TaQuisha O’Neal from Southeast Whitfield are among seven women’s basketball recruits Chattanooga State coach Jay Price reported Friday.

The others include April Woodard, a former star point guard from Harlem (Ga.) High School near Augusta, and 5-10 forward Hiydaayah Williams and 5-6 point guard Olivia James from Atlanta’s Stephenson High,earrings, plus 6-foot power forward Miesha Turpin from Carver High in Columbus and 6-2 post Joycelyn Ford from Hunters Lane High in Nashville, transferring after one year from Cumberland University.

Carey, a 6-foot post who was the Times Free Press North Georgia player of the year, signed early with Georgia College and State University but changed her mind after a coaching change at the Milledgeville school, Price said.

"We had to fight off several Division II schools for her. A lot of Division I schools want her after one year of junior college,Beads necklace," he said. "She’s probably our most prized recruit from this area since I’ve been coaching the women’s team here. She’s big, strong and played in a state championship game,pendants, and she is a really good student."

Carey averaged 15 points and 12.2 rebounds a game as an LFO senior.

"TaQuisha is a really athletic shooting guard," Price said of the 5-6 O’Neal. "She can shoot the ball and has a lot of high energy and is a good defender. And she’s a good student from this region — we want to keep those close to home. A lot of schools in our league had offered her."

Turpin signed with Price’s Lady Tigers last year but didn’t pass her graduation test until December, "so we elected not to bring her till this year," he said. "She’s a really athletic girl with high energy and can play the 5, 4 or 3."

Ford, he said,cuff Links, left NAIA member Cumberland because she wanted to play at the NCAA Division I level and felt a year of junior college ball was the best path to it.

"She’s a good rebounder and runs well for her size," Price said. "We’re really, really lucky to get her."

Woodard had to keep retaking her graduation test since ending her Harlem eligibility in 2006, "and she’s clearly the most talented kid in our freshman class," the coach noted. "She’s the most individually talented kid we’ve ever signed. She plays like a guy."

Then there are the Stephenson duo, who won a Class AAAAA championship as juniors. Former Stephenson coach Lawanza Crutcher, a Chattanooga native, helped Price on a volunteer basis last year and helped get them to the Lady Tigers.

"Hiydaayah had been recruited by a lot of smaller Division I schools," Price said. "She tore her ACL after her junior year but came back. She’s very, very athletic and rebounds well. She’s going to get mid-major looks. Olivia is another really good student and she’s very strong and athletic and a true point guard. She doesn’t look to score so much but is a good defender, handles the ball well and is a good leader. She’s very mature."

MEASURE COMES AFTER MINNESOTA BOY DIED AFTER SWALLOWING LEAD-TAINTED BRACELET

By admin, 13 December, 2009, No Comment

The New Jersey Assembly’s Democrats issued the following news release:

The Assembly today approved legislation sponsored by Assemblywomen tiffany jewellery Sandi Love, Nilsa Cruz-Perez and Linda Greenstein and Assemblyman Paul Moriarty targeting unsafe jewelry.

Under the bill, no one may sell, distribute, import or manufacture jewelry in New Jersey that contains materials classified as unsafe The bill also includes stricter restrictions on materials used in children’s jewelry and body piercing jewelry.

Love crafted the legislation (A-2877) after a 4-year-old Minneapolis boy died of lead poisoning from swallowing a tainted charm bracelet.

“Buying a necklace or a charm bracelet shouldn’t bring about fears of lead and mercury poisoning, yet the health and safety of New Jerseyans are at risk,” said Love (D-Gloucester). “It’s time these harmful products are taken down from store shelves for good.”

“Jewelry is often a symbol of love, caring and devotion, and this bill ensures it stays that way,” money clips said Cruz-Perez (D-Camden). “A bracelet shouldn’t prompt fears of lead and mercury poisoning, and any jewelry that contains such products should be immediately recalled.”

Under the bill, the Director of Consumer Affairs or manufacturers, distributors or importers of jewelry who discover it contains any material or substance in violation of the bill’s restrictions must issue an immediate recall for that product.

Within 48 hours of receiving notice of the recall, retailers would be required to remove the jewelry from displays and make it unavailable for purchase.

Within 14 business days, retailers would be required to return all the jewelry to the manufacturer, distributor or importer from which it was obtained, at the cost of the manufacturer, distributor or importer.

Within 14 business days, retailers would be required to return all the jewelry to the manufacturer, distributor pendants or importer from which it was obtained, at the cost of the manufacturer, distributor or importer.

The manufacturer, distributor or importer would then have 60 business days to destroy the jewelry and to dispose of the remnants to remove them from access by the general public.

“This is a responsible proposal that protects consumers against the potential serious illnesses and long-lasting harmful affects,” said Greenstein (D-Middlesex/Mercer). “In this day and age there’s no reason to be making jewelry with lead and mercury and there’s no reason for New Jerseyans to be exposed to such toxic materials.”

The bill specifies the following penalties:

* Knowingly selling, offering for sale, distributing, importing or manufacturing jewelry that contains any material in violation of the bill’s restrictions is an unlawful practice;

* Failing to remove the recalled jewelry from displays, make it unavailable for purchase or return it to the manufacturer, distributor or importer within the required timeframe is an unlawful practice; and

* Amanufacturer, distributor, or importer failing to issue an immediate recall or destroy and dispose of jewelry returned to them as a result of a recall is a crime of the fourth degree for a first offense, third degree for a second offense and second degree for subsequent offenses.

An unlawful practice under the Consumer Fraud Act is punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000 for a first offense and not more than $20,000 for subsequent offenses. A violation can also result in cease and desist orders issued by the Attorney General, punitive damages and the awarding of treble damages and costs to the injured.

A fourth degree crime is punishable by up to 18 months imprisonment, a fine of $10,000, or both. A third degree earrings crime is punishable by three to five years imprisonment, a fine of $15,000, or both, and a second degree crime is punishable by five to 10 years imprisonment, a fine of $150,000, or both.

“We’re just doing what we can to ensure New Jersey consumers are protected from the dangers of lead and mercury poisoning,” said Moriarty (D-Gloucester). “These are dangerous toxins that have nothing to do with how beautiful a necklace or bracelet looks.”

The bill was approved 78-0 and now heads to the Senate for further consideration.For more information please contact: Sarabjit Jagirdar, Email:- htsyndication@hindustantimes.com.

Annual Christmas program set for Monday

By admin, 27 November, 2009, No Comment

Portales’ annual toy drive is coming to town, and this year, a lucky donor tiffany and co can have milk and cookies with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The Lighting of the Tree ceremony Monday is set to kick off the Mayor’s Christmas Toy Drive: Operation Santa Cop for this Christmas season.

A non-perishable food drive is held in conjunction with the annual toy drive for youth through age 18.

The tree lighting features free cookies, face painting and ornament making, as well as a visit from Santa and his wife. The children can expect goodie bags from Santa.

The Portales High School and Portales Junior High School choirs provide live caroling as well.

“We would like the whole community to come out for it,” City Community money clips Affairs Coordinator Nicole Wilkening said.

That night, she said, people can begin taking ornaments representing an anonymous child in need from the tree. They should return the gifts to City Hall by Dec. 4.

People can also drop off new, unwrapped gifts for any child or donate money.

The food drive is collecting canned goods and staples such as flour and sugar, said Police Deputy Chief Lonnie Berry. Last year, he said, officers delivering toys noticed some families also needed food.

For the first time this year, toy donors are entered in a drawing for a chance to have milk and cookies one-on-one with the Clauses.

“It’s just a Christmasy incentive to have people participate in the program,” pendants Wilkening said.

The drawing is scheduled for the Dec. 1 Portales City Council meeting.

“The program’s really important because everyone pulls together to provide presents and food staples, things of that nature, to families that won’t have a traditional Christmas this year,” Wilkening said. “So it’s just a way for the community to support each other and those going through hard times, because everyone does. The spirit of it is to not get discouraged and that the community is a family.”

Portales police officers deliver the gifts within city limits, and Roosevelt County Sheriff’s deputies serve children in the county. Portales Deputy Chief Lonnie Berry said officers took toys to 702 children last year.

Berry said there’s no particular type of gift needed.

“We serve such a wide variety, anything provided for us, we’ll be able to make use of it,” he said.

Berry said the drives are a great opportunity to give back to the earrings community.

“We have great interactions with the kids and the families we get to go back to,” he added.
