Subject: FW: Warning from Police ---- No Joke!!!

Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!!

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public

parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the

rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home,

it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to
stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the

car Then we received this email yesterday:

'WARNING FROM POLICE

THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--

NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... You walk

across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You

start the engine and shift into Reverse.

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your

parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle

of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your

doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or

whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach

the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out

of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically

mow you down as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.

So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your

money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are

now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just

drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you

read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and

family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of

personal information and identification documents, and you

certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Please keep this going

and tell all your friends

"AYES Youth In Business" Skills Training Program is a non-profit school-to-work initiative

created and taught by Tekelia C. Kelly, SIB Founder/Owner and Adjunct Faculty Member

at Chattanooga State Technical Community College.

The AYES Youth In Business Skills Training Certificate Program will offer its “Success Skills Toolkit for Teens” class this Fall, October 4-25, on Saturdays from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm at Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Cost of the class is $150.00. Founder and owner of Sisters In Business.Net and For Your Information Tekelia Kelly is the instructional designer and creator of the program. As a Chattanooga State business and information systems technology adjunct instructor, Ms. Kelly will also instruct students in the AYES Youth In Business program.

The AYES Youth In Business Skills Training Certificate Program is an innovative, 21^st century school-to-work initiative offering work-age teens the opportunity to develop a success skills toolkit that includes business technology training, networking, marketing, mentoring, a skills portfolio, job bank, Chattanooga State certificate, and earning of one CEU credit. The class is excellent support for High School Senior Projects.

Within the framework of a theme-based high school senior project simulation, students in the AYES “Success Skills Toolkit for Teens” class will strengthen their reading, writing, research, and other academic skills, while applying hands-on keyboarding skills and business industry standard work-tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Outlook, Email, and the Internet. Learners will create products such as a budget worksheets, letters, resumes, surveys, reports, bibliographies, desktop publications, presentations, contacts/address lists, and more! Students will then store their products on a USB flash drive to take with them after class, making for a portable portfolio that can “go and grow” with them as they navigate their life, education, and career paths.

The AYES Youth In Business program is set up to interface with “youth friendly” businesses in the community and the Sisters In Business Network who are able to “hire and inspire” youth through their businesses. Businesses are asked to offer youth paying positions as interns, part-time, full-time, summer, or temporary employees. Volunteer positions are also welcome as they, too, can offer valuable work experience which youth can show on their resumes.

The purpose of AYES Youth In Business program is to empower the socio-economic development of youth, and offer Alternative Youth Economic Solutions to youth seeking and needing sustainable income. Whether youth are going to school, work, college, or into business for themselves, the goal is to make youth more marketable, useful, qualified, competitive, and able to land better paying jobs sooner.

Though presently offered at Chattanooga State campuses, the AYES program is portable and available to any youth group and organization in the community. Workshops, Computer-based Training CD-ROM, Online Learning, and 1-on-1 Coaching are also ways in which the program can be delivered.

AYES Youth In Business is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit program through the Community Foundation of Chattanooga. Contributions are graciously accepted, and tax deductible where allowed by law.

Latest Drug in Middle School - ‘Dusting’

Latest Drug in Middle School - ‘Dusting’ I had never heard of this until this article came to me via email. Scary, very scary.

My name is Jeff. I am a Police Officer for a city which is known nationwide for its crime rate. We have a lot of gangs and drugs. At one point we were # 2 in the nation in homicides per capita.

I also have a police K-9 named Thor. He was certified in drugs and general duty. He retired at 3 years old because he was shot in the line of duty. He lives with us now and I still train with him.

I always like d the fact that there was no way to bring drugs into my house. Thor wouldn’t allow it. He would react. The reason I say this is so you understand that I know about dr ugs.

I have taught in schools about drugs. My wife asks all our kids at least once a week if they used any drugs.

I like building computers occasionally and started building a new one in February 2005. I also was working on some of my older computers. They were full of dust so on one of my trips to the computer store I bought a 3 pack of DUST OFF.

Dust Off is a can of compressed air to blow dust off a computer. A few weeks later when I went to use one of them they were all used. I talked to my kids and my two sons both said they had used them on their computer and messing around with them. I yelled at them for wasting the 10 dollars I paid for them.

On February 28 I went back to the computer store. They didn’t have the 3 pack which I had bought on sale so I bought a single ju mbo can of Dust Off. I went home and set it down beside my computer.

On March 1st, I left for work at 10 PM. Just before midnight my wife went down and kissed Kyle goodnight. At 5:30 am the next morning Kathy went downstairs to wake Kyle up for school, before she left for work. He was propped up in bed with his legs crossed and his head leaning over.

She called to him a few times to get up. He didn’t move. He would sometimes tease her like this and pretend he fell back asleep. He was never easy to get up. She went in and shook his arm. He fell over. He was pale white and had the straw from the Dust Off can coming out of his mouth. He had the new can of Dust Off in his hands. Kyle was dead.

I am a police officer and I had never heard of this. My wife is a nurse and she had never heard of this. We later found out from the coroner, after the autopsy, that only the propellant from the can of Dust off was in his system. No other drugs. Kyle had died between midnight and 1 AM.

I found out that using Dust Off is being done mostly by kids ages 9 through 15. They even have a name for it. It’s called dusting, a take off from the Dust Off name. It gives them a slight high for about 10 seconds. It makes them dizzy.

A boy who lives down the street from us showed Kyle how to do this about a month before. Kyle showed his best friend. Told him it was cool and it couldn’t hurt you. It’s just compressed air. It can’t hurt you. His best friend said so.

Kyle was wrong. It’s not just compressed air. It also contains a propellant called R2. It’s a refrigerant like what is used in your refrigerator. It is a heavy gas, heavier than air. When you inhale it, it fills your lungs and keeps the good air, with oxygen, out. That’s why you feel dizzy, buzzed. It decreases the oxygen to your brain, to your heart. IT KILLS YOU.

The horrible part about this is there is no warning. There is no level that kills you. It’s not cumulative or an overdose; it can just go randomly, terribly wrong. IT’S NOT AN OVERDOSE.

You don’t die later, Or not feel good and say I’ve had too much. You usually die as you’re breathing it in, if not you die within 2 seconds of finishing ‘the hit.’

That’s why the straw was still in Kyle’s mouth when he died. Why his eyes were still open. The experts want to call this huffing. The kids don’t believe its huffing. And that’s why it’s more accepted. There is no chemical reaction, no strong odor. It doesn’t follow the huffing signals.

Kyle complained a few days before he died of his tongue hurting. It probably did. The propellant causes frostbite, if I had only known.

It’s easy to say hey, it’s my life and I’ll do what I want. But it isn’t. Others are always affected. This has forever changed our family’s life. I have a hole in my heart and soul that can never be fixed.

The pain is so immense I can’t describe it. There’s nowhere to run from it. I cry all the time and I don’t ever cry. I do what I’m supposed to do but I don’t really care.

My kids are messed up. One won’t talk about it. The other will only sleep in our room at night. And my wife, I can’t even describe how bad she is taking this. I thought we were safe because of Thor.
I thought we were safe because we knew about drugs and talked to our kids about them.

After Kyle died another story came out. A probation Officer went to the school system next to ours to speak with a student. While there he found a student using Dust Off in the bathroom. This student told him about another student who also had some in his locker.

This is a rather affluent school system. They will tell you they don’t have a drug problem there. They don’t even have a dare or plus program there. So rather than tell everyone about this ‘new’ way of getting high they found, they hid it.

The probation officer told the media after Kyle’s death and they, the school, then admitted to it. I know that if they would have told the media and I had heard, it wouldn’t have been in my house.

Using Dust Off isn’t new and some ‘professionals’ do know about. It just isn’t talked about much, except by the kids. They all seem to know about it.

April 2nd was 1 month since Kyle died, April 5th would have been his 15th birthday. And every weekday I catch myself sitting on the living room couch at 2:30 in the afternoon and waiting to see him get off the bus.
