I just got a call from Kimberly Charles, who tied for first place with Kaena Hood. She wanted to say thank you and is interested in competing in next year's event. With the recent publicity surrounding the Dunbar Village rapes, it makes me very happy to know there are teens in the community making positive choices and seeking out constructive outlets to express themselves. Whatever we as a collective entity, a group of concerned citizens have to do to help our youth gravitate throught this life, let's do it. As the old African proverb says, "It takes a village to raise a child." The children are our future. They are our hope. Kyoto Walker PBABJ Member West Palm Beach Dear C.B.,
