Modem medicine or the drug

Greeting Register Readers:
Today, I would like for you to take
a minute and answer the question,
who is really in charge of your health?
Are you in charge or is your medical
doctor? Conventional medical doc-
tors tend to overlook nutritional and
natural remedies that work and help
heal many health problems. Why?
The answer to your health problem
is very simple, because there is little
money to be made in the use of
natural remedies, regardless of how
beneficial they may be to you other
patients and your family members.
In the U.S., the ultimate goal is to
keep every American and the new
U.S. citizens under the influence of
Zapp’s Troutman
Brothers Killed
Roger. Troutman and his Brother
Larry, both founding members of
the 1980’s funk baiid Zapp, were
shot to in what police are calling
a murder-suicide.
Roger Troutman, who had
worked in recent years with artists
including Tupac Shakur and Dr.
Dre, was apparently shot several
times in an alley behind a Dayton,
Ohio, music studio owned by the
Tiputman family. H< iya^.ru$hi>d! *,
to the hospital where he later died.
Larry Troutman was found dead
in his car a few blocks away with a
self-inflicted gunshot wound to the
head. The car matched a
description from witnesses of the
vehicle Roger Troutman’s
assailant had left the scene in.
Family members could offer “no
reason or motive” for the killings.
“We don’t know what it was
about,” a police spokesperson told
reporters.
Zapp, comprised of Roger,
Larry, Lester, and Tony Troutman,
released its self-titled album in
1980, modeled after the sound of
local heroes the Ohio Players.
Produced by Roger Troutman and
Bootsy Collins, the album went
gold, buoyed by the hit single
“More Bounce to the Ounce,” and
the band’s use of a voiccoder
talkbox. Zapp II and Roger

COMMUNITY CENTER
WASHINGTON — There may be
such a thing as a free lunch for gov-
ernment officials as a result of a Su-
preme Court ruling Tuesday.
The court ruled unanimously that
a federal law banning gratuities still
allows federal officials to accept gifts
from people who have business be-
fore them, as long as the gifts are not
given in connection with a specific
“official act”
The decision means that a casual
lunch or a token gift to a federal em-
oloyee or elected official may now be
permitted, even if at some time in the
achieved gold status before the
band’s popularity began to wale,
though “I Want to Be Your Man,”
from Roger Troutman’s 1987 solo
album Unlimited! proved a hit.
The final Zapp album, Zapp V,
was released in 1989.
Roger Troutman continued
working with other artists, and his
1996 collaboration with Tupac
Shakur and Dr. Dre, “California
Love,” was nominated for a
Grammy.
“Roger, he was unique,” says
Ohio Players leader Diamond
Williams. “Very, very talented.
The world has lost a truly talented
entertainer by another senseless
iact.” r 1

future that official might make a de-
cision affecting the donor's interests.
But legal experts cautioned that
Tuesday's ruling does not mean a re-
turn to freewheeling favors for public
officials. A host of other federal reg-
ulations restricts speaking fees and
other gifts aimed at influencing gov-
ernment decision-making.
“This is not a bright new day for
greed and corruption,’* said Sam Buf-
fone, lawyer for the American
League of Lobbyists. “But it does
mean a common-sense return to hav-
ing normal social interactions with
an official as a friend, neighbor or
buddy. It eliminates the social isola-
tion of elected officials.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling also
means a new trial for a California ag-
ricultural cooperative that was con-
victed in 1996 of giving gifts including
sports tickets and luggage to Agricul-
ture Secretary Mike Espy. The com-
pany had been fined $1.5 million un-
der a federal law barring “illegal
gratuities.”
Espy was acquitted in December
of all 30 corruption charges involving
gifts he accepted from Sun-Diamond
Growers of California and others. He
resigned in 1994.
The government claimed that the
gifts were illegal because they were
given to Espy because of his official
position, even though it did not estab-
lish they were meant to influence any
specific decision Espy was making.
Accepting the government’s defini-
tion, the court said Tuesday, would
Thomas Jefferson’s family will
have some new guests at this year’s
family reunion: two dozen descend-
ants of Jefferson’s slave Sally Hem-
ings.
This will be the first time Hemings
family members have been invited to
the annual family gathering, held ev-
ery May at Jefferson’s famous Monti-
ceilo estate in Charlottesville, Va.
The invitation follows the release
in November of DNA tests that in-
dicate Thomas Jefferson is probably
the father of at least one
of Sally Hemings’ chil-
dren, Eston.
Lucian Thoscott IV, a
dissident Jefferson family
member, invited all Hem-
ings descendants to crash
the annual family re-
union May 15-16 as his
guests.
In response, the Monti-
cello Association, a group
of 700 officially acknowl-
edged Jefferson descend-
ants, says it will welcome
Hemings’ descendants to all the
weekend’s events.
But the reunion could have some
racially charged moments.
The Monticello Association says it
has no plans to let the slave’s de-
scendants join the family association
or gain the right to be buried next to
Jefferson in the family graveyard at
Monticello.
“It may be awkward at moments,
but I don’t want them to feel exclud-
Jefferson: Eston
Hemings’ likely dad
ed,” said Monticello Association
President Robert Gillespie, a Rich-
mond lawyer.
"I want them to realize they are
welcome by the entire group, not just
Lucian Triiscott,” he says.
Gillespie says a mail ballot of all
members would be required to deter-
mine whether the Hemings descend-
ants can join the association.
Triisefitt says that if the Hemings
family is not allowed to join the Mon-
ticello Association, he will stand up at
the meeting and say: “You’ve let in all
the white people, like myself. Now,
what are you going to do about the
Negroes?”
Thiscott, a writer and
sixth-generation Jefferson
descendant says it is rac-
ist to deny the slave de-
scendants a place in the
family.
“I am going to ask that
all association members
be required to take DNA
tests to prove we’re Jef-
ferson descendants,” he
says. “It’s racist on its face
to tell black people that
their oral history is not
enough (to qualify) — despite DNA
— while automatically believing the
oral history of whites like me.”
Gillespie says that the family even-
tually may admit Hemings’ descend-
ants into the association and the
graveyard.
“We need to start the process of de-
termining if they are descendants.
There is some indication that they
are, but we need to get more evi-
dence,” he says.
criminalize even token gifts given to
government officials.
Anytime a sports team visiting the
White House gives the president a
team jersey, or a high school gives a
school hat to the secretary of Educa-
tion, justice Antonin Scalia said, the
law would be violated under the Jus-
tice Department’s broad definition.
