"Da' Hip-Hop Wizzard of Oz"
Presented by LQ's Performing Arts Center September 14-September 15, 2013 For more information or tickets, visit http://www.lqspac.org
Play Synopsis: Dorothy is your average teenager, living in Bakersfield,
wanting to become a star. But, for some reason, she experiences great
opposition from everyone around her. It is only when she gets swept away
to this mysterious Hip-Hop infused Land of Oz, where she's able to build the
confidence she needs to follow her dreams. Dorothy and her friends (the
Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion) travel through the Land of Oz in hopes
of gaining the things that they lack from the
GREAT WIZZard of Oz. But the GREAT WIZZard of
Oz will not grant any of their wishes unless
Dorothy kills the Evil Wicked Witch of the
Westside, Ms. Evilbean, and retrieve the Book of
Dance. In figuring out what Dorothy is going to
do, the audience is taken through this 2-hour
long story of courage, trials, struggle, strife,
jealously, enlightenment, and triumph-all told
through dancing, acting, movement, and music.
LAQUETTE SHANICE MILNER,Writer/Director/Producer/Choreographer
With "Da' Hip-Hop Wizzard of Oz," LQ's is able to provide the audience with a new twist to the classic story of "The Wizard of
Oz." This uplifting event gives new meaning to incorporating old ideas and mixing them with new ones. It also broadens an
audience's scoop as it relates to the image of "Hip-Hop." Whether we blame movies or some musical artists, over the years,
Hip-Hop has gotten a bad rep. It is the goal of "Da' Hip-Hop Wizzard of Oz" to be used as a tool to break down the bad
stereotypes that have been attached to Hip-Hop for many years. With a multicultural cast and a strong script, "Da' Hip-Hop
Wizzard of Oz" can enlighten the masses with a positive, creative
production. Due to the fact that "Da' Hip-Hop Wizzard of Oz" is not
just a mere play, but a movement of life, it deserves to be performed in
front of masses of individuals all over the country!

Cool car upgrades: How to enhance your
ride and ease
back-to-school
stress
(BPT) - Fall has finally arrived, meaning it's time for the kids to hit the school books. And as the leaves gradually morph from green to gold, your driving schedule quickly accelerates from leisurely cruising to nonstop go, go, go.
Besides taking the kids to and from school, there are plenty of after-school activities - football practice, cheerleading tryouts, piano lessons and math tutors - that require additional drive time. Maybe a big-game tailgating party is on the agenda, too? Before the crazed driving crunch hits, you might want to make sure your car, truck, SUV or van is ready for the back-to-school rush and good to go through the fast-approaching holiday season. According to Peter MacGillivray, vice president of events and communication for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), an automotive trade organization with 6,500-plus member companies, there are endless amounts of innovative auto-enhancing products to help during the frantic driving season. "For 50-plus years, SEMA-member companies have been designing and producing clever, high-tech products that improve a vehicle's appearance, comfort, performance and even fuel-savings," said MacGillivray. Consumers can find these products and more at www.enjoythedrive.com. "As families go back to school, many find themselves spending more time in their vehicles. There are automotive accessories that can make the overall ride better and a lot less stressful." 1. Sit down: Best way to make passengers (and yourself) happy is to be comfortable. There are plenty of aftermarket seat-enhancing products from soft cushions to luxurious new car seats. There are also high-tech booster chairs and seats that have folding desks/trays which are ideal for last-minute homework. 2. Child alert: For the ultimate in safety there are "future-is-now" seats with phone apps that detect and warn when the child wiggles out of the seat and another that has a mobile notification system to alert parents if they accidently left a child in a car seat. It also provides detailed information about the temperature inside the car. "These are just a few samples of the aftermarket products available for your vehicle," says MacGillivray. "Most auto parts stores and national chains carry them, and you can easily find
them online, too."

Gluten-free meals with 'wow' factor, from breakfast to
dinner
(BPT) - Whether it’s gluten intolerance or a goal of healthier eating that drives your gluten-free meal plans, you can enjoy great meals from breakfast to dinner (and everything in between). The expanding availability of gluten-free substitutes for favorites like tortillas, breads and pastas means that you don’t need to give up the dishes you love. Get your gluten-free menu started with these tips for meals throughout the day. Breakfast
* Breakfast burrito bar – Set out an array of gluten-free ingredients, like scrambled eggs, vegetables and cheese, for your family to mix and match. Fold it all up in black rice tortillas made by Food For Life, which are highly nutritious – black rice boasts antioxidant levels on par with “superfruits” like acai and blackberries. Lunch * Seasoned quesadillas – Add a little something extra to your classic quesadilla, that well-loved snack of melted cheese between two gluten-free tortillas. Try adding a variety of cheeses and boosting the flavor with herbs and spice mixes. Dinner * A new take on pizza – Using gluten-free tortillas, the whole family can create personalized mini-pizzas with thin, crunchy crusts. Simply assemble the toppings of choice and either grill or toast in the oven. For more ideas, go to www.foodforlife.com.

Affordable Healthcare
By Chris L. Hickey, Sr. Ph.D. Health insurance exchanges will commence operation in each state, offering a marketplace where individuals
and small businesses can compare policies and premiums, and buy insurance (with a government subsidy if
eligible). The California Exchange is called “Covered California.” Beginning in August 2013 you will begin to
hear and see an abundance of advertisement about Covered California. Remember, this is California’s version
of the Affordable Care Act. Several organizations throughout the state will be conducting town hall meetings
and other events in a coordinated Outreach and Education campaign to enlighten individuals, families and
small businesses about the requirements, benefits and specificities of Covered California. Each One–Teach One
Alliance for Academic Access, Achievement and Success is also planning a series of Town Hall Meetings to
elaborate on the broader issues discussed in future installments of this column.

In California, as a provision of
Covered California, individuals and
families with income between 139%
and 400% of the federal poverty
level (FPL) are qualified for federal
subsidies on a sliding scale if they
choose to purchase insurance via
the Covered California exchange.
In California, individuals and
families with income below 139% of
the FPL qualify for Medi-Cal.
Minimum standards for health
insurance policies are to be
established (an ‘essential health
benefits’), and annual and lifetime
coverage caps will be banned. Firms
employing 50 or more people but
not offering health insurance will
also pay a shared responsibility
requirement if the government has
had to subsidize an employee’s
health care.
Very small businesses (fewer than
50 eligible employees) will be able
to get subsidies if they purchase
insurance through an exchange.
Co-payments, co-insurance, and
deductibles are to be eliminated for
select health care insurance
benefits considered to be part of
the “essential benefits package” for
Level A or Level B preventive care.
While this is in no way a complete
list of the provisions outlined in the
act, it does provide an overview of
many of the benefits to individuals,
families and communities. It is
extremely important that you share
this information to as many of your
family and friends as possible. The
Afford- able Care Act and Covered
California offer our community an
opportunity to see that ALL of our
people have Access to Afford- able
and Quality Health Care. Be on the
lookout for advertisements and
information about the various
outreach campaigns and events that
will be scheduled to provide more
information. Additionally, later in
the year there will be additional
resources available to assist
individuals signing up for the
coverage that best suits their need
and budget. Initial enrollment for
2014 cover- age will be between
October 1 and March 31, 2014. For
those who enroll on or before
December 15 coverage will be
effective on January 1, 2014. For
enrollment between December 16
to January 15, 2014 coverage is
effective February 1, 2014.
