RE: [Mpls] Project TAKE BACK
About the www.donsamuels.com website (note that don's official site is a ".org" not com)... Earlier this year, around March I think, the donsamuels.com site that was bought by Urban Trends was actually directed at the website www.wesettrends.com, which belongs to Travis Lee's newspaper "Trendsetters". So, if one was meaning to go to www.donsamuels.com, you actually saw the Trendsetter website. It was taken down shortly after it was questioned. The Trendsetter website doesn't seem to be working right now. Megan Goodmundson, Jordan __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Mpls] Project TAKE BACK
I for one cannot think of any constructive reason for NJL's husband to buy a web site address in Don Samuels name. It seems like rather juvenile to me. I have been hoping that we could have an intelligent, issue driven adult campaign here. Doesn't look like it's going that way. Looks like Don will get my vote again. Sorry, Natalie, but one is judged by the company one keeps. Anne McCandless Jordan REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.

RE: [Mpls] Project TAKE BACK
Project Take Back is an initiative between the PEACE Foundation and Urban Youth Conservation (UYC) designed to more effectively bring resources to at-risk youth starting on the Northside to prevent gang violence. UYC is an emerging organization of ex-gang members who are working together currently as volunteers to take back the youth who are involved with the drug trade. As a first step, we have hired 15 at-risk youth to help put on the PEACE Games which begin on July 30th. The youth workers are recruiting teams and helping to run the basketball and track & field competitions. They are being given an opportunity, through the support of UYC, to be involved with something positive in the community as an alternative to their life on the streets. After this project, the goal will be to identify 30 youth to bring into their program. The men in UYC believe there are over 300 youth currently in gangs who would get out if given positive alternatives and proper support. Reaching these 300 youth is our long-term goal. The PEACE Foundation will be generating resources from the broader community to apply to these youth through the outreach and support from UYC.

Anne McCandless writes: I agree, Dennis. It gives me hope that things can change. Especially the comments about wanting to share and work together. It will be interesting to see what comes from this meeting. Dennis Plante Responds: The amazing thing for me is that this is a collaborative effort instigated by CM Samuels and I believe, the PEACE Foundation. Yet, none of his detractors seem to have any comments as to the merits/drawbacks of this effort. Why is that? Maybe taking the initiative to bring-about significant change isn't an issue after-all. Heaven forbid someone tries to set-up a program that hands-on mentors 30 kids headed in the wrong direction...
