First bricks laid for Nation of Islam mosque/ school in Ghana (NNPA) - The first bricks for the Nation of Islam's (NOI) mosque/school and training center were laid May 18 by Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, Nation of Islam Chief of Staff Leonard F. Muhammad, a delegation of NOI officials, and chiefs and imams from nearby Muslim communities. The facility will be located in a community called Galilea on the edge of Weija Lake on the outskirts of Accra, an area of development where the population of Muslims is increasing. “The timing of this groundbreaking ceremony could not have been better," said Dr. Mohammed Chambas, Ghana’s deputy minister of education, citing the opening of the fifth African-African American Summit, which began a day earlier. “Our ability to take advantage of expanded trade and business relations will depend on the education and training we give to our people, particularly our youth. That’s why this project is important.” — Final Call

Grossidier said. “And older people, alcoholics, overweight people and people with heart disease and asthma are at higher risk.” The major dangers of extremely hot weather are dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, according to the American Heart Association. That’s because heat and humidity interfere with the body’s natural cooling process. When a person loses a substantial amount of fluid, the body temperature rises and causes the nervous system to stop functioning properly, which could lead to brain and heart damage. Consuming eight to 10 glasses of water each day is usually enough to keep the body hydrated. “Never wait until you are thirsty to start drinking water,” said Kim Galeaz, an AHA volunteer and dietician. “If you are thirsty, you are already in the early stages of dehydration.” In addition to keeping cool by drinking plenty of liquids, Grossidier suggests people go to air-conditioned places such as the library or the mall in the heat of the day. She also discourages the use of fans when the temperature reaches 90 degrees or more. “It circulates hot air and gives the body a false sense of security,” said Grossidier. “But it actually elevates the body temperature.”

victims in Indianapolis’ criminal electronic monitoring programs. Peterson pledged his support for an ordinance introduced by Councillors Steve Talley and William Dowden that would require the justice system to quickly notify victims if criminals associated with their case violate their electronic monitoring requirements. Peterson called for the council to I JtvF rju-if. /I,i« OlbX . . vjL,: ...i quickly pass the ordinance to help avert tragedies. Peterson was joined by Talley, who has led the effort to improve the monitoring program. “Our jails are overcrowded,” Peterson said. “Home detention can be a good alternative to jail, but only if it is monitored properly. Right now that’s not happening.” Peterson saidTalley’s proposed ordinance would put the criminal justice system on the side of the victim. “The system must assure victims they will be protected.” Peterson said. “It is imperative that victims promptly know when criminals who could threaten them violate their detention. “ Improved notification would protect victims from unwanted visits or surprise attacks by criminals, Peterson said.

BRIEFS Continued from A1 Indiana’s first state youth summit for the specific purpose to prevent underage drinking, with die help of the $6,500 grant from MADD and support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving will host the summit January 25 - 26 in Indianapolis. The grant from MADD is one of only six that has been awarded nationwide to support state youth summits in 2000. ‘To receive this grant is an honor,” said Jeff Modisett, chairman of the Governor’s Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana and the Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving, divisions of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Since the inception of the Commission and Council, Indiana has come a long way in its efforts to prevent underage drinking. We certainly appreciate MADD’s contribution to those efforts.” The Governor’s Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana, the Indiana Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking, Alcohol Beverage Commission’s Excise Police and Purdue University’s Systemwide Response will also partner with the Council in the event. For more information about the Governor’s Commission or the Governor’s Council and its plans for the state youth summit, call (317) 232-1295.

Panel approves first sites for community college system A recommendation that Gary,; Evansville, Lafayette and India-, napolis be start-up sites for com-, munity college classes means In-;; diana is closer to ensuring higher, education is available to all Hoosiers. Gov. Frank O’Bannon said.. The Community CollegePolicy Committee made the recommendation and suggested that Anderson, Marion and Muncie become sites a year later. The Legislative Council and State Budget Committee must give final approval. Higher Education Commissioner Stan Jones said the Ivy Tech State College campuses chosen in the first tier would begin offering community college classes next spring on a pilot basis to ensure they are ready for the official fall 2000 kickoff. Lawmakers approved $6.2 million to freeze tuition at Ivy Tech and Vincennes to help lure students. The plan calls for a system that will eventually offer two-year degree programs at all 22 Ivy Tech sites that would be accepted by four year colleges and universi-
ties.
