The James Logan Courier

Prayers for Bobby
By Melissa Mota, Courier Staff Writer

The film is very emotional and heartbreaking! It's the story of the life of Bobby Griffith, whose live was cut short because he decided to commit suicide over the self-hatred that attended his homosexuality. The fact that his mother's blind faith in her religion led her to reject Bobby's sexual orientation drove him to kill himself. He kept diaries in which he expressed his self-hatred and his wish for a cure.

James Logan baseball did not start league the way they wanted, losing to rival Newark, 10-6

Logan (0-7, 0-1) has not played the best of baseball this year after they posted their 7th straight loss. Senior Randy Williams got the start for Logan, but did not reach the fourth inning as he gave up 3-runs in the first inning, including a 2-run homerun.

Located in the busy Pacific Commons, Kaenyama is a classy restaurant ideal for special occasions if your wallet can handle the steep price. The menu is filled with flavorful and unique rolls that I’ve failed to try at any other sushi restaurant I’ve been to so far. The design of the restaurant is not only unique but has a modern flare and is tastefully set up. The table dining is artfully separated from the Teppanyaki and is quiet as well as elegant. Blossoms line up the wall behind the bar and a glass walled waterfall greets patrons from the entrance. The tables are graced with tableware and napkins folded in a clean fashion and the service, as well as the food, is worth the price.

From wikipedia:
Ota Benga (c.1881 or 1884 – March 20, 1916) was a Congolese pygmy who was featured in a 1906 human zoo exhibit at the Bronx Zoo alongside an orangutan. The exhibit was intended to promote the concept of human evolution, eugenics and scientific racism.
