The Seen and Unseen

The Seen and Unseen


Posted by Anna on 03 February 2010

Isaiah is skipping preschool today. I kept him home because of an individual who verbally threatened his teachers yesterday. We are fortunate to have a very secure facility, and our teachers are savvy. But after a restless night I didn't feel peaceful about sending him. The person causing problems lives very near the park, and his household was involved with several criminal incidents this fall. Our block club has been working with our LAPD senior lead officer to curb the threat they pose to our neighborhood's safety. But outside of television dramas, stopping perceived bad guys is a slow and fragile process. The policies and bureaucracies that preserve our civil rights sometimes leave preschoolers more vulnerable than we would like.

Ironically, at 10:00am today the LA City Council started debating a proposal to eliminate one of our best tools in neighborhood crime prevention. Richard is at City Hall right now speaking for our community in support of the City Attorney's Neighborhood Prosecutor program. In 18 years of work around public safety concerns, we have often run into the limits of what the police can do. For the past 7 years, the Neighborhood Prosecutor has filled this gap in critical ways. When our community organized to shut down a liquor store on Jefferson we worked with the Neighborhood Prosecutor. When the Raymond Ave block club succeeded in shutting down a crack house it was through the efforts of the Neighborhood Prosecutor. When the neighbors around our tutoring center stopped a bar from opening across the street they worked with the Neighborhood Prosecutor. And the Neighborhood Prosecutor is helping our block club address the latest threats to our children's safety within the local park.

So often the forces that most affect our health and safety are silent and unseen. We did not hear about this city council vote until yesterday afternoon. And amidst the many budget cuts our city is considering, this won't be one to get front page attention. But we who live here remember what it was like to live down the street from a liquor store. We remember what it was like to walk our Adventures Ahead kids past prostitutes and drug dealers on their way to our facility. We remember what it was like to have shootings, stabbings and robberies on Raymond Avenue. And we remember that the relative peace we now enjoy in these places came through hard won victories. These victories might not have been won without this program connecting our community groups to real legal muscle.

Will our park remain a safe place for families to play? Will our preschoolers and their teachers remain unharmed? Will the marijuana distributor around the corner and the liquor stores on Adams and Normandie be held accountable for nuisance activity? Will residents of our neighborhood feel like they can speak, act and organize to bring about change? Much depends on the how our city council votes with regard to this program.

Things to pray for:

  • For our city council to continue funding the Neighborhood Prosecutor program.
  • For God to set his protection over Loren Miller Park, especially the preschool program.
  • For violence and criminal activity at the household described above to cease.

This is also a great approach to start negotiating with an insurer for the discount on rates provided to you in an initial quote. It will be the smallest amount volume of auto insurance policy that each every auto driver in USA must spend on. Thus insurance agencies can focus on covering bigger and much more catastrophic losses which could financially cripple the consumer or even a business which is uninsured. iGKrDBR, [url=http://www.igetcheapcarinsurance.com/best-car-insurance-company-in-kuwait/]best car insurance company in kuwait[/url], seDokEf, [url=http://www.igetcheapcarinsurance.com/car-insurance-premiums-rise/]car insurance premiums rise[/url], LbCDVmB, [url=http://www.igetcheapcarinsurance.com/msig-motor-insurance-calculator/]msig motor insurance calculator[/url], vXGeTzW,

Sir Henry corrob
orated the assertions of Frederic, and they were further confirmed by letters which they had brought from her heartstricken parents. These she could not read unmoved, and the accumulated proof they furnished she could not reject. Like a whirlwind of woe the truth broke upon her, and in agony she shrieked "would I had died before I saw this hour 1 Yet it is the righteous punishment of my sin in forsaking such parents!"  Oh! it was pitiful to see the lovely girl all crushed as it were amid the ruins of her strong love and confidence in one for whom she had forsaken parents, home and friends. The
www.discountoakleysunglassesok.com discount oakley sunglasses two brave men hardly dared to look upon her grief much less to mock her with word-comfortings, as there she sat and gave it utterance in sobc, and sighs, and wild, deep-gushing exclamations. Amid the silence that followed one of those soul-bursts, Morton DeLisle entered. Had a vision from the spirit-world passed before him, he would not have been more appalled. We will not describe the scene that ensued. The sight of him seemed to recall the sinking energies of poor Fanny, and when he would have approached her she waved him off and clung to Frederic. "Away from me base deceiver," she shrieked.  "What means this language from my wife?" demanded Morton in an agitated tone.  "I'm not your wife — you are not my husband."  "'Fore Heaven I am, and all the powers of earth shall not tear you from me," aud he would have forced her away, but Sir Henry interposed with an air http://www.burberryoutletstoreonsale.com/ burberry outlet of cool determination that forbade the attempt; at the same time he said, "If you are as I suppose, Mr. Morton DeLisle, alias Lucien Portiers, I have business with you," and led him Irom the room.  The nature of their conference can be guessed. For while DeLisle endeavored http://www.cheapbeatsbydresoutletonline.com/ beats by dre cheap, cheap beats by dre, beats by dre outlet with assurance and bravado to maintain his position, but finding at last that it was perfectly untenable in face of the conclusive evidence furnished by Sir Henry Richmond, he reluctantly withdrew bis claims, and to avoid a public exposure which the legal investigation would bring about, he saw the necessity of returning to Paris and securing the papers in possession of Mons. Charlin, as they would prove strong witnesses against him.  He endeavored before starting to obtain an interview wjth Fanny, but with a determination and spirit hitherto foreign to her nature, she refused to see him.  Now indeed was retribution. He had forsaken one who believed him her husband ; now his true wife deserts him in an hour of mortification and dire disappointment. Baffled at every point, his guilty schemes entirely frustrated, he trieswww.tiffanyoutletsusa.com  tiffany & co outlet to shun their consequences. In vain. However swiftly he may run from those he has hated or injured, no speed of flight can bear him from the presence of the selfavenger— his tortured and torturing conscience.  Violated law — injured innocence — broken faith—sacrificed principle and integrity — sullied morality — all these clamored like remorseless creditors around the very donjonkeep of his perjured soul.  The vehicle which bore him to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Paris swept on ;—followed too the ghostly trains of mur  dered right—and the dark retinue of foul wrongs cherished in their stead. Arrived at the great city, the carriage rolled slowly over a bridge beneath whose arches the waters of the Seine rushed, now lashed into foam and fury by a raging storm. Aye, weleome to that troubled spirit was the tempest without, it accorded with the turbulence within, where sin was keeping its high unholy carnival. A thought seized the unhappy man; he sprung from thecoupeof the diligence — leaned amoment against the parapet of the bridge — gave a single leap — a wild scream — and more darkly ran that river's course for the crime blackened-one who sank beneath it.
