MYCAP Basketball Team Has Skills
One might ask what is MYCAP?
Well, MYCAP stands for Minority
Y outh Concerns Action Program
MYCAP provides temporary shelter
for youth w ho do not have appropriate
alternative housing It also provides
direct case management with numer
ous additional youth w ho are living in
the community rather than at the
MYCAP facility Each of the youth
have access to all of M YCAP's ser
vices.
Some of the se n ices pros ided by
MYCAP is alternative school, street
law courses, pre-employment coun
seling, job placement program, sum
mer community revitalization, peer,
family and community support, drug
and alcohol abuse counseling, Afri
can American male connections pro
g ra m , an d a p ro g ra m c a lle d
Family .families as models instilling
leadership in our youth
MY CAP operates under the work
ing assumption that these y oung men.
in order to make real and lasting
changes in their lives, need inters c a
tion and stabilization, not simply in
carceration. Detention does not nec
essarily help youth develop all the
coping skills they need in society And
the traps and obstacles that these youth
faced before incarceration are often
community is a positive one. MYCAP High School, Tyrone Hammick and
is here to make sure that our minority Kenny McDonald of Jefferson High
youth do not fall into the cracks of School, All Team All-Star Derrick
either the judicial system or of the
community

SIX TIPS FOR CUTTING FAT
1. Cook with nonstick pans to cut
down on the added fats you'll need.
Brown and saute with chicken
broth, wine or nonstick cooking
spray instead of oil or margarine.
W hen b a k in g , s u b stitu te
unswceetened applesauce or prune
puree for part of the fat whenever
possible.
4. Use evaporated skimmed milk
instead of cream or whole milk if
the recipe allows.
5. Create sauces and toppings from
fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs
instead of oil and butter.
6. Dress your salads with lemon
juice and fresh herbs instead of
mayonnaise-or oil-based dressings.
