Creator
Thank you
I asked the C reator to take
away m y pain. C reato r said,
“N o, it is n o t for m e to take
away, b u t for you to give it up.”
I asked the creator to make
a handicapped child whole. Cre
ator said “N o, his spirit is whole,
his body is only temporary.”
I asked the C reator to grant
m e patience. Creator said, “N o,
patience is a by-product o f tribu
latio n s, it is n ’t g ran ted , it is
earned.”
I asked the C reator to give
m e happiness. C reato r said,
“N o, suffering draws you apart
‘from worldly cares and brings
-you closer to me.”
I asked the C reator to make
•my spirit grow. C reator said,
“N o, you m ust grow o n your
ow n, b u t I will prune you to
make you m ore fruitful.”
I asked the C reator for all
things that I m ight enjoy life.
:Creator said, “N o, I will give you
life so th at you may enjoy all
things.”
£
I asked the Creator to help
m e love others as m uch as he
doves me. C reator said, “Ahh,
finally! You are getting the idea.”
I found this in a paper from
a rez in M ontana. Touch my
heart so I w anted to share it.

C o m m u n ity C e le b ra tio n fo r
Jacoby Ellsbury. We k now it
took a lo t o f w ork and energy
for you to organize the event in
such a sh o rt time. Your efforts
to bring som ething good and
positive to the comm unity are
truly appreciated. It was good
to see many comm unity m em
bers an d yo u th electrified by
Jacoby’s presence.
T h e o p p o rtu n ity to h av e
som eone o f such stature p ar
ticipate in a personalized com
m unity gathering is very rare.
We would also like to extend our
appreciation to the Ellsbury fam
ily for agreeing to partake in the
event after a long day. The event
was m ore than a celebration; it
was a venue for youth to see
th a t th ro u g h ed ucation, h ard
work, and determination, every
one has the potential and capa
bility within themselves to reach
their ultim ate goal or “dream.”
As a rising star, Jacoby has a
p o sitiv e in flu e n c e o n m any
youth around the world. .The
celebration was exciting and sur
real at th e sam e tim e. O nce
again, thank you Fran and Marti
Rae for giving the com m unity
som ething positive to celebrate!

How is it made?
M eth is made from a fairly

a s f e w as 6 to ,8 h o u r s H s i n g
apparatus and cookw are th a t
can be quickly dism anded and
stored o r relocated to avoid de
tection. A mere $200 can buy
the ingredients to produce an
ounce o f m eth (enough to get
100 people high). Since cook
ing m eth produces such large
am ounts o f highly toxic waste,
there is always a pending dan
ger o f explosion o r fire which
could endanger the lives o f chil
dren and adults, as well as harm
the surrounding environment.
What are its effects on the user?
M eth can make a user stay
awake and alert, and can keep
him o r h er up for hours and
even days. A t first it can give
him o r her a rush and a sense,
o f euphoria, decrease their ap
petite and provide feelings o f
confidence. A fter a “binge” a
user will inevitably crash and can

you should know about meth:
What is it?
M etham phetam ine is a pow
erfully addictive stim ulant that
has a high potential for abuse
and dramatically affects the cen
tra l n e rv o u s system . I t is a
unique drug because it is easy
to obtain and relatively cheap to
buy. This is all made possibly
by th e fact th a t m eth can be

What does it look like?
Meth is a white, odorless, bit
ter-tasting powder that easily dis
solves in alcohol or water and can
be smoked, injected or snorted.
Where is it made?
Two-thirds o f our country’s
m eth supply is produced in su
per labs in Mexico and South
ern California run by organized
crime and street gangs. T he re
maining third is made in the U.S.
in m akeshift m eth labs found in
being there.
To my wife, I love you and
pray every day for you, Mom,
Rose, Margo Boise, my brothers
Tony, Early and Butch, Liz and
kids, Young and kids, Zeke, Tracie
and kids and Cindy and kids.
To Roy and family: Hey, bro,
I love you and I pray every day
for you and your family.
To my family, the Lawrences,
m ay the L o rd bless you and
w atch over you. Bless the sis
ters Tera, Candra, Tana, K ristan
and Sonny. I am truly sorry and
pray for you guys.
I ’ve b een in shock, was a
hard day. I hope I ’ll never ex
perience that again. I just wanted
to tell you all how m uch I love
you guys and pray daily for you.

Like m o st drugs, p eo p le use

due to its effects on the body,
people use it for energy, weight

How can I recognise a meth user?
A m eth user could be any

dweller to city folks, students to
professionals—in your neighbor
hood. I f you thin k som eone
you know m ight be using m eth,
