Phil., Bishop The Diocese of Southern Ohio Convener of the Task Force on Racial Profiling Almost two years have passed since we learned of the death of Trayvon Martin. There can be no question that racial profiling was a factor in this tragedy. This connects Trayvon's death to the experience of countless African-Americans of all ages, especially African-American males, who continue to be suspected of criminal intent at every turn. Of course, racial profiling of any group implies racial profiling of everybody: people who look Mexican or Central American are profiled as illegal immigrants, while people of European descent are profiled as law-abiding. Yet in this country it falls to men of African descent to be profiled as dangerous. This is as true within the church as outside of it. We are taught as followers of Jesus to see Christ in the face of everyone we meet. But the first thing we see is race, and then whatever we pin on race, whether positive or negative.

    Opening Statement of the Honorable Matt Salmon (R-AZ) House

    Opening Statement of the Honorable Matt Salmon (R-AZ) House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere Hearing on “Overview of US Interests in the Western Hemisphere: Opportunities and Challenges” February 28, 2013 (As Prepared for Delivery) Good morning, and welcome to our first hearing of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, where we will be exploring the opportunities and challenges the U.S. faces in the region. When I returned to Congress this year, I was privileged to rejoin the Foreign Affairs Committee and honored to have been given the gavel of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere. As a native Arizonan, I know what many of my colleagues have yet to realize, our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere are critical to U.S. security, energy independence and economic prosperity. I believe that our strong cultural, trade and investment relationships and demographic ties with Canada and the Americas connect the region and open the way to constructive dialogue on how to make our hemisphere safer and more prosperous. First of all, let me welcome the Subcommittee’s distinguished new Ranking Member, Congressman Albio Sires who represents the 8th Congressional District of New Jersey. I look forward to working with you on a bipartisan basis to help foster positive results for U.S. foreign policy in the region. In addition, to our returning Senior Members of the Committee, it is my pleasure to give a warm welcome to our Freshman Majority Members, Ron DeSantis and Trey Radel, both of whom hail from the great State of Florida. And although not new to Congress I would like to welcome two new additions to the Subcommittee on the Minority side of the aisle, Theodore Deutch and Alan Grayson, also both from the great State of Florida.

Senators present: Steve Lathrop, Chairperson; Tanya Cook, Vice Chairperson; Brad Ashford; Tom Carlson; Burke Harr; Jim Smith; and Norm Wallman. Senators absent: None. SENATOR LATHROP: Good afternoon. My name is Steve Lathrop. I'm the Chair of the Business and Labor Committee, and we're here today to hear a series of bills and they generally relate to the subject matter of the Commission on Industrial Relations. We're still waiting on two members to get here and so I'll take this opportunity to tell you a few of the ground rules that they're very familiar with. And hopefully by the time I get done with this, they'll be here and then I can introduce everyone before we start. As the Chair of the committee, I have a number of responsibilities, and one of them, and it's very basic and fundamental, is to keep the hearing moving to make sure that the information that we're getting is new from one testifier to the next and that we're not caught up in a great deal of repetition; the other is to make sure that we're out of here at a decent hour and to make sure that those senators who are going to introduce bills today do not have to wait until 11:00 tonight to do that.

The official crowning cer- emony will take place at Baileyfest. “I had to keep pinching myself because I couldn’t believe it was happening,” an excited Sbarra-Michelland said on October 10, just minutes after principal Barbara Von Harten surprised Amy Holik’s fifth grade class with the annual announcement. Both Sbarra-Michelland and Baugh’s essays, written on the subject What Sanibel Means To Me, were selected by a Baileyfest committee as the best among a strong field of well-written testimonials, earning them their royal titles. “Yeah, it’s pretty cool to be the king,” added Baugh. Baileyfest, the annual gathering of islanders and visitors celebrating the community spirit of the islands, will be held this Sunday, October 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Bailey’s Shopping Center, on the corner of Periwinkle Way and Tarpon Bay Road. It will be an afternoon filled with food, refreshments and crowd-pleasing entertainment.
