We have an Emergency!

FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA–July 5, 2011 Kelly Thomas was described as “a free spirit” by his

younger sister Tina Kisner. “You couldn’t go anywhere without him knowing someone,” said childhood friend Eddie Florence. Unfortunately however, this 37-year-old homeless man was not liked by everyone. He died of brain injuries after 5 days in a coma following a bru-tal beating from six Fullerton police officers. Thomas’s injuries were so severe that his father, Ron Thomas, said, “When I first walked into the hospital, I looked at what his mother described as my son… I didn’t recog-nize him.” Medical records released by Thomas’ family indicate that he had a broken nose, a broken cheek-bone, several broken ribs and severe internal bleeding. One witness “de-scribed seeing officers slamming Thomas’s face into the concrete after he was tied.” The coroner reported the cause of death as asphyxia due to chest compression when Thomas was being pinned.Why did the police officers attack this innocent man?

Jeremy Popoff, owner of the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen, established a “no-homeless-people policy,” in which police were called every time a homeless per-son was found loitering outside of the restaurant. Be-cause the cops would often be delayed in their response to the calls, Popoff told Slidebar’s manager, Jeanetter DeMarco, to take all necessary measures to keep the homeless away at all times. The night of Thomas’s death, DeMarco allegedly gave the police a false report, claiming that Thomas was breaking into cars alongside

the street. Police officers then rushed to the scene. In-terestingly, one of the bouncers told the manager she was wrong for lying, and consequently, the bouncer was fired for “insubordination” and “violating com-pany policy.” He has now filed a sixteen million dollar lawsuit against the restaurant for wrongful termina-tion. Three of the police officers involved in Thomas’s death have been indicted by the Orange County Dis-trict Attorney. Manuel Ramos, 37, was charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter and Jay Cicinelli, 39, was charged with involuntary

manslaughter and excessive force. Both plead not guilty. Ramos is reported to have told Thomas that, “These fists are ready to mess you up,” as he snapped on latex gloves. Ramos and Cicinelli, along with one of the other police officers in-volved in the beating have ended

their employment with the city. The brutality of the police behavior while arresting an unarmed, mentally ill man has sparked widespread outrage. Thomas’ fa-ther has been active in mobilizing a community re-sponse saying, “We all recognize this as a hate crime against the homeless and the mentally ill.” There have been weekly demonstrations drawing in hundreds of people, and three City Council recall elections have been initiated as a result of the incident.

A musician named Julian Porte sang a song in tribute to Kelly Thomas. A video of his

performance can be found at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUorquYMgC0

The Brutality of Homeless Unveiled: 2011 NCH Report

Police Leave Homeless Man’s Body Mangled

Protesters like this man took to the streets after Thomas’ brutal murder

“When I first walked into the hospital, I looked at what his

mother described as my son… I didn’t recognize him.”

The National Coalition for the Homelessdedicates this report to the thousands of

homeless men, women and childrenwhose lives were changed by violence

and hatred.To those who have died,may they rest in peace.

To those who continue to live among us,may their wounds begin to heal

and their pains lessen.And may we, as a nation,

The Brutality of Violence Unveiled.

Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner

Neil J. DonovanIn order to remain free of the toxins which accompany more

than a decade of researching hate crimes against the homeless, the National Coalition for the Homeless works to recognize the fundamental humanity of both the victims and perpetrators of hate crime. We recognize the need to understand and report on the consequences of criminal acts of hate, as well as the moti-vations which lie beneath.

The National Coalition for the Homeless challenges Ameri-cans to adopt a similar resolution for the New Year, as a means of ending bias motivated crimes. A hate crime occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her perceived membership in a certain social group. The unique identity of the victim can be secondary, but most often is simply unknown.

The path to purging America of hate crimes lies in our collec-tive ability to acknowledge one another as unique individuals. When we know each other, this very knowledge strips us of any ability to generalize a bias upon another.

In 2011, the Unites States not only saw an increase in hate motivated lethal deaths, but a rise in those crimes as serial murders. An equally alarming trend was the rate of violent and lethal acts committed by juveniles, some as young as thirteen. This devolution in hate crimes speaks to the nature of the rela-tionship between the victim, the criminal and the crime. Like never before, we are seeing individuals strike out with unbri-dled malice towards an individual or individuals of their own mind’s making.

Healthy reasonable individuals can quickly determine that a person, whose sole identifying characteristic is a lack of a home, does not deserve to be detested. In such cases, only a disturbed mind is capable of applying such an intense passion of dislike, as to act upon his biased feelings towards another. These acts deserve to be condemned and the motivation for such bias must be labeled for what it is, A Hate Crime in both action and in law.

The initial work of ending bias motivated crime must start by separating the act of hate from the hater. We face two tasks demanding equal attention, certainty and force. We must de-fine the victims of these crimes as needing the same protec-tions as other social groups currently protected by law. We also must choose to believe that the perpetrators, though often re-sponsible and accountable for their actions, are unique from hate itself. We as a country will benefit immeasurably from this understanding and this compassion. It is only through un-derstanding and compassion that we can find the strength and resolve to educate the ignorant, treat the mentally ill, and Hate the sin, love the sinner.

About the COSAC Foundation

The COSAC Foundation was originally established in May 1997 to partner with other social service agencies, in the area, that provided help to the homeless population. COSAC also independently feeds the homeless. We have grown into a multifaceted agency that feeds, shelters, and arranges for each homeless person to receive the necessary access to social and noncompulsory religious services to enable a return to a self-reliant lifestyle. And for the small percentage of people incapable of living independent lives, we provide a caring and supportive environment for their long-term residency.

Our Philosophy COSAC believes that to remain effective we must strive to remain flexible, and

be ready to evolve to meet the needs of the homeless with equivalent services. Our Mission Statement To provide the homeless population access to shelter, food, employment

opportunities or referrals, as well as access to social services all toward the aim of enabling their return, if possible, to self-reliance.

To accomplish this COSAC is the hub organization. We developed the Homeless Voice newspaper, a COSAC funding tool, which has been responsible for employing homeless people and therefore giving them income to survive on the streets. Also, the “The Homeless Voice” is the means by which we advocate on behalf of the homeless population and to educate the public as to the true nature of homelessness and ways we can all work to eliminate the bias against this sector of our population and to help empower those affected by homelessness to regain or maintain their self-esteem and sense of self-worth during their transition through difficult times. The Homeless Voice became the official name of our homeless division, which operates four facilities in Broward County. We created the COSAC Quarters Hotel for the poor, a hotel with 21 rooms that serve the indigent or people with limited income. The clients receive three meals a day at Arnolds Café, named after the great homeless advocate Arnold Abbott. Another agency is the Day Labor Company, employees of which match an outside company labor request with a suitable shelter resident. Lastly, COSAC Foundation decided to become the South Florida County Food pantry. This service helps us provide food for those “nearly homeless” families.

Our Vision To end discrimination against the homeless population and to develop such an

effective network of services that we greatly reduce the time a person or family emerges out of homelessness back into self-reliance.

O GOD OUR CREATOR,from your provident hand we have received

our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.You have called us as your people and given us

the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God,and your Son, Jesus Christ.

Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,

bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospelto every corner of society.

We ask you to bless usin our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.

Give us the strength of mind and heartto readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;

give us courage in making our voices heardon behalf of the rights of your Church

and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,

a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughtersgathered in your Church

in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,so that, with every trial withstood

and every danger overcome —for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,

and all who come after us —this great land will always be “one nation, under God,

indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Religious Liberty

Dr. Kent M. KeithIf you do good, people will accuse you of selfish,

ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and

true enemies. Succeed anyway.The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be

honest and frank anyway.The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot

down by the smallest person with the smallest mind. Think big

anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed

overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack if you help

them. Help people anyway.Give the world the best you have and you might get

kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.

The Paradoxical Commandments

We are the small non-profit that runs the #1 emergency and response shelter in South Florida. We serve, house, and care for 500 homeless every day, and have costs like any other business: water, power, rent, programs, staff and legal help. The Homeless Voice is extremely

effective. It is a place where anyone in need will get help. It is a safe place for people to go when they have nowhere else to turn. We take no government funds. We run on donations averaging about 33 cents. If everyone reading this paper

gave the price of a cup of coffee, our fundraising would be done. If helping people is important to you as it is important for us, take one minute to go online to www.hvoice.org and become a monthly angel. $15 per month is what we need from You. Please help us forget fundraising and get back to Serving the Homeless. Thank you.

We have an Emergency!

We Have Been Removed From The Streets...For any new readers to our paper, I’d like to explain a little on how we support ourselves. We run on 100 % generosity

of our readers. We are not funded through the government and depend solely on the communities we serve. Distributing the free Homeless Voice newspaper has been our way over the last ten years to collect donations while providing a job and money to the transients of South Florida. By not accepting government funding we are able to accept people of every age, race, criminal and mental background with no limitations on how long they can stay or how much we can help them.It is very important for us to bring the news to you as well so we can reduce the number of homeless people in the community.

The more people who read our newspaper, the more we can educate and then help fix the problem of homelessness. However we are in serious danger of losing that freedom. More and more cities are taking our vending rights away while

sending more people to our shelters. Our supplies are running low and our bills are piling up.If you have received this free issue in your mailbox, thank you for taking the time to read about us and the people who

live here. We are a full service shelter and offer three meals a day, a bed to sleep in and the opportunity for counseling and assistance in applying for benefits and jobs. We offer much more and when the opportunity allows we often provide emergency assistance and aid in the surrounding area.We are in desperate need of people who can donate every month. We love vistors to come by and see what we are all about. Please see below on ways to donate, thank you!

On Spirituality...Prejudiced Hostility

This month’s voice concerns hate crimes and hatred of certain peoples or classes of peoples. We know that over the life span of humanity there has always existed some form of hate. Cain and Able being the first biblical murder. The first children of the first parents, so as far back as we can tell, there was never some peace filled place to call home. It makes me wonder what it is about some of us that we love to hate? Or is it about all of us, but some have found a way to love instead? When we consider the history of humankind, finding sustained periods of peace is very difficult to do. We want what others have. We want more. We want something, and that is at the beginning of conflict. The simple solution then is to not want. To be happy or at least content with who we are and what we have. I realize the challenge this philosophy poses. I also am aware that we are not programed to settle for less. We are taught from early childhood to excel, and to apply ourselves fully that we may enjoy the finer things in life. As a close follower of Jesus Christ I find the answers to most puzzling questions in Him. The gospel teaches us to treat everyone with dignity. To treat our neighbor as we want to be treated. To give to all who ask. When someone asks for a shirt give him your coat as well. To feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to visit the sick and imprisoned. For most of us this is a tall order, but it is the pathway to peace and the end of hate. Hatred is defined in Webster’s dictionary as ‘prejudiced hostility.’ To get to be prejudiced, we have to pass judgment, to get away from prejudice we cannot judge. To find peace in our life and the lives of those around us we need the Prince of Peace. We need to be connected to the one who knows hatred and evil better than we ever can. Jesus gave His life for our life, for our life eternal. In prayer and in the practice of His way may we all be a part of the end of hate. ~Deacon Bob

Does your store, offfice, or place of business want to say, “Care to Help the Homeless?”We would like to

offer you the chance to put our bucket and papers in your place of business so you can collect funds for us and then once every ten days we will be by to pick up the funds. This is to help us stay in business as the cites such as Miramar and Pembroke Pines make laws that no longer allow our paper to be sold on the streets. Please show your support in Helping the Homeless and “host”

one of our buckets! Call 954-920-1277 for your bucket today!

Erica K. LandauAccording to the Shawnee

County code, no permit is re-quired to paint one’s property. Still, Jackson expects some ruf-fled feathers from the city. It’s why he’s kept the project so qui-et for the past year, even during trying times, like the especially egregious announcements from the WBC expressing their intent to protest the funerals of those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in December.Jackson had a tough time find-

ing a painting company to do the job. “We had to go through about five local painting compa-nies because they were scared,” he relates. “We’d call them, ask, ‘Does your company have the ability to do this?’ They’d say yes, come by our house. But once they saw the neighborhood, they’d stop answering our phone calls. They would just vanish.”They eventually got one company from an hour

away in Kansas City to agree to do it. He’s also taken safety precautions, flying in long-time friend and col-league Sean Cononie of Hollywood’s Voice Home-less Shelter to do a security breakdown.“I consulted with him a

bit, went over his game plan,” said Cononie, who got more directly involved after Westboro Baptist Church announced the Sandy Hook protests. “Where to put security cameras, or where to go if there is gunfire shot toward the house... I’m not so worried about [the Westboro Baptist Church]. They’ve been pretty peaceful -- not so much with their words [but with their actions]. But you still have other hate groups that may be attracted to Aaron and his group.”In addition, Cononie is helping to raise funds for the

antibullying initiative. (Cononie and the shelter were

Activist Painting House Like a Gay Rainbow, Across Street From Westboro Baptist Church

largely responsible for helping Planting Peace’s during its early days and first initiatives in Haiti.) In addition to a personal do-nation, he, along with about 50 others, has set up a personal fundraiser profile at Planting Peace’s crowdrise.com page.Jackson hopes to raise a million dollars to kickstart the anti-

bullying programs. “Our goal is to create a national antibully-ing campaign,” said Jackson. “We’d like kids to approach us with ideas, and then we’ll promote it. They cre-ate an equality-type club, and we’ll provide resources on the back end.“We also want to create safe spaces

in schools,” he continued, naming Safe Space programs as an inspira-tion. “We want to identify teachers that are LGBTQ-friendly, so kids

will know they have someone to talk to, bring in public speak-ers, support some of the fabulous antibullying initiatives that are already out there.“Children are killing themselves because they are hearing a

message that they are less than,” Jackson added. “We want to counter that message. Where better to start it than next door to Westboro Baptist Church?”NOTE: When Sean found out that this church was going to

protest at the funerals of the Sandy hook school shooting Sean was very upset. He even placed a few calls to the Westboro

Baptist church and tried to plead via their Voice Mail. He thought how could this so called Baptist Church go and protest the funerals of these little ones? How could they be so mean to do that to the parents who just lost their children? For Sean there was no excuse for this church to be so mean. Then he remembered just how they did the same things to the parents who lost their teenager from a hate crime for being gay. Then of course how this church went to the funerals of our fallen soldiers and also protested those funerals. Sean decided to support this project because of his dealing with anti-hate programs throughout the years.

gest that diets high in fruits and vegetables may re-duce cancer risk. Both red and processed meat con-sumption are associated with colon cancer.REDUCE HEART DISEASE: Recent data from a

Harvard University study found that replacing satu-rated fat-rich foods (for example, meat and full fat dairy) with foods that are rich in polyunsaturated fat (for example, vegetable oils, nuts and seeds) reduces the risk of heart disease by 19%FIGHT DIABETES: Research suggests that higher

consumption of red and processed meat increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.CURB OBESITY: People on low-meat or vegetarian

diets have significantly lower body weights and body mass indices. A recent study from Imperial College London also found that reducing overall meat con-sumption can prevent long-term weight gain.LIVE LONGER: Red and processed meat consump-

tion is associated with increases in total mortality, cancer mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality.IMPROVE YOUR DIET. Consuming beans or peas

results in higher intakes of fiber, protein, folate, zinc, iron and magnesium with lower intakes of saturated fat and total fat.Environmental BenefitsREDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. The

United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of the man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are accelerating climate change worldwide . . . far more

Meatless Mondaythan transportation. And annual worldwide demand for meat continues to grow. Reining in meat consumption once a week can help slow this trend.MINIMIZE WATER USAGE. The water needs of livestock

are tremendous, far above those of vegetables or grains. An es-timated 1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water go into a single pound of beef. Soy tofu produced in California requires 220 gallons of water per pound.HELP REDUCE FOSSIL FUEL DEPENDENCE. On aver-

age, about 40 calories of fossil fuel energy go into every calorie of feed lot beef in the U.S. Compare this to the 2.2 calories of fossil fuel energy needed to produce one calorie of plant-based protein. Moderating meat consumption is a great way to cut fossil fuel demand.

BEING HOMELESS

Emotions run deep in a skeptical way,

Finality comes bring fear each day

No place to hide and no place to stay

Shattering a heart in a sadistic cruel way

Stereotypical labels which still remain

People oblivious to the crippling pain

Looking above for a sign or an answer

Nothing is clear just mind numbing cancer

They say that home is where the heart is

But I have no home and my heart is fractured

I wish that I could find a happy medium

To justify this extreme lonely tedium

But I am homeless this fact remains

So I will continue this life in vain

By Janice KaplanCan saying thank you make you happier? In a new

national survey of more than 2,000 adults conducted for the John Templeton Foundation, 64% of women said that they express gratitude because it makes them feel good. And it’s a smart move. Academics studying the subject have found that feeling grateful and ex-pressing it decreases stress, increases happiness, and generally makes people feel better about life.In fact, the Templeton Foundation—which supports

research on questions relating to human purpose—is investing almost $6 million to fun new research on the practice of gratitude, including its effects of health and child development. Gratitude, it turns out, functions as “a psychologi-

cal immune system that bulletproofs you in times of crisis,” says Robert Emmons, Ph.D., professor of psy-chology at the University of California, Davis, and author of the forthcoming Gratitude Works! A 21-Day Program for Creating Emotional Prosperity. It’s hard to feel fortunate when you lose your job or home or you face a difficult illness, but an ability to refocus can get you through. “Our mind often latches on to what is wrong. There’s no need to ignore the negative or say life is perfect,” Emmons adds. “But once you have the skill of coping gratefully, you can find a new, redemptive frame of reference.” Gratitude requires work and attention, Emmons

acknowledges. “But now that we know its advan-tages,” he says, “we have reasons to encourage it in ourselves.” Want to try it yourself? Keep a gratitude journal. People who document what they’re thankful for reap a host of health and emotional benefits. Get started with these tips from Emmons, adapted from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good website:1. Commit to Happiness: Journaling is more effec-

tive if you first make the conscious decision to be-come more fulfilled and more grateful, research sug-gests. “Motivation to become happier plays a role,” Emmons explains.2. Go for Depth Over Breadth: Elaborating in detail

about a particular thing for which your grateful—e.g., how thankful you are for your husband’s repair of that

Saying Thanks: The Importance of Gratitude

broken faucet—carries more benefits than listing many things. 3. Make it Personal: Focus on people you’re grateful for, not

things. And try subtraction, not just addition: Reflect on what your life would be without certain blessings rather than just tallying up the good stuff.4. Savor Surprises: Record events that were unexpected or

surprising, as these tend to elicit stronger levels of gratitude. For inspiration, search for “community gratitude journal” at greatergood.berkeley.edu.

Aboutflowers.comWith today’s high-tech and fast-paced lifestyle

taking its daily toll on our lives, experts advise exercise and other personal lifestyle changes to relieve stress. According to behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve emotional health - flowers. The presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed.“What’s most exciting about this study is that

it challenges established scientific beliefs about how people can manage their day-to-day moods in a healthy and natural way,” said Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Rutgers and lead researcher on the study.Research Findings-A team of researchers ex-

Rutgers: Flowers Improve Emotional Health

plored the link between flowers and life satisfaction in a 10-month study of participants’ behavioral and emotion-al responses to receiving flowers. The results show that flowers are a natural and healthful moderator of moods.Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. All

study participants expressed “true” or “excited” smiles upon receiving flowers, demonstrat-ing extraordinary delight and grati-tude. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups.Flowers have a long-term posi-

tive effect on moods. Specifically, study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demon-strated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction.Flowers make intimate connections. The presence of

flowers led to increased contact with family and friends.“Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy,”

said Dr. Haviland-Jones. “Now, science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being.”Sharing Space-The study also explored where

in their homes people display flowers. The ar-rangements were placed in areas of the home that are open to visitors - such as foyers, living rooms and dining rooms - suggesting that flowers are a symbol for sharing.“Flowers bring about

positive emotional feelings in those who enter a room,” said Dr. Haviland-Jones. “They make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere.”

The results show that flowers are a natural and

healthful moderator of moods.

Paul SullivanEstate planning rarely gets the attention it should get.Saving for your children’s education, purchasing

a second home, deciding when and how to retire — these are all topics that people talk about with their friends and their financial advisers. But deciding what happens to whatever is left of your money when you die is often passed over. It shouldn’t be, though, be-cause it is crucial to a financial plan. But not discussing something that is going to happen

will not stop it from happening. And at some point, someone is going to have to sort out your estate — regardless of how big or small it is. Here are some of the key issues that should be addressed: WILLS Everybody should have a will, and people

who are married and/or have dependent children are inexcusably foolish if they do not. There are significant issues that only a will can clarify. One of the biggest is who will take care of the people you love, and how? You may have told your best friend that he will be the guardian of your children if you and your spouse die in a plane crash, but unless you spelled out your wish in a will, there is no guarantee this will happen. If both parents die, it will be up to the state to decide, and they will choose based on family. If you say this is what you want-

ed anyway, you’re missing the point. Which parents would you want to raise your children — yours or your spouse’s? Or if it is a sibling, do you care if your children go to the wealthy one in Seattle whom you always fought with or to the financially strapped but loving one in Memphis with two children of his own? Some may argue that wills are expensive. But there

are plenty of online sites to help write a legally bind-ing one for little cost. Two popular destinations are RocketLawyer and LegalZoom. If you are wondering what will happen to your mon-

ey if you die without a will, go to mystatewill.com. It shows what happens to your assets in each state if

you die without a will. The picture it paints can be scary and may convince the holdouts that paying a fee online or spending $1,000 for an actual lawyer to draft a basic will is well worth it.LIVING WILLS AND MEDICAL DIRECTIVES Once you

have figured out wills, you need to think about what will hap-pen if you are seriously injured or incapac-itated. This is the territory of living wills, a legal device that waxes and wanes in popularity. Every few years, there seems to be a high-profile battle over whether to disconnect a loved one from life sup-port. Think Terri Schiavo. And afterward, a bunch of people set up health care prox-ies and medical directives to express their wishes if they have to go on life support. The same sites for wills can help here, but this is an area where you really want to pay attention to the details. If you followed the Schiavo case and

have a strong opinion about a specific treat-ment — continued life-support or removal of all artificial means of living — then you need to express that in a living will.SPECIAL-NEEDS TRUSTS Most people

with physically or mentally challenged chil-dren worry about how their deaths will affect their children. Special-needs trusts are a com-mon and effective way for parents to make sure their children are cared for. By leaving money to a trust and not to their special-needs

children, parents can supplement government benefits to their children. Setting up such a trust is not difficult, but it requires advance

thought. The issues involved range from how you will finance the trust — cash, securities, an insurance policy — to who you will designate as the trustee. That person will not only make decisions involving how the money will be spent, but, more crucially, the trustee will evaluate the care the special-needs child is receiving. Here is a good primer on the subject. ESTATE TAX Most Americans will die without the estate tax

affecting them. In 2009, a married couple can leave $7 million to their children tax free. Those who are affected by the tax are some of the best plan-

Estate Planning: What You Need to Know

ners. The problem here, though, is that they do not always make sure that what they wanted to do is laid out properly in their estate documents. Anyone can learn from their slip-ups. The most common mistake is one of oversight. Any-

one who has ever worked at a company that offers benefits has filled out a “beneficiary designa-tion” form. In the stack of papers asking questions, ranging from which health insurance plan is right to how much should go into the company retirement plan each pay period, the beneficiary desig-nation form is remarkably simple: If I die, who gets the corporate benefits package?

Fast forward 25 years, and the lowly assistant who signed that piece of paper is now a top executive. His benefits package has grown substantially over the years. Does he still want to leave it to his mother and brother — or former wife? These forms trump wills when it comes to distributing assets not held jointly. Check them often.

The same goes for people who have set up trusts. Regardless of what the trusts were for or when they were written, they should be reviewed occasionally — preferably by someone not involved with creating them. This isn’t to detect shenanigans, but to check for simple errors that could alter how an estate will be distributed. As a side note, trusts are no longer the province of

the very rich. They have morphed over the years into useful and straightforward vehicles to protect assets in life from creditors and lawsuits and to pass them to heirs on your own terms.The lesson to be learned from all of this is simple:

One day you will die, so while you’re alive, plan for it. If you don’t have a proper estate plan, the emo-tional pain of your passing could be compounded by financial chaos.

...people who have children are inexcusably

foolish if they do not have a will...

Erika PesantesA homeless man who fled war-ravaged Bosnia two

decades ago found himself in the deadly crossfire of South Florida violence January 14th when he rushed to warn a gas station clerk of an impending robbery.In broken English, Hasib Kuric, 46, described how

he survived a hail of bullets shortly before midnight that led to the clerk’s fatal shooting of a gun-toting robber at the Exxon Mart gas station at 5190 S. State Road 7.“He ran into the store and told the clerk, ‘They’re

masking up outside,’ “Hollywood Police Sgt. Pablo Vanegas said. “The [gunmen] came into the store, they brandished a weapon and started shooting. He didn’t even have time to call 911.”Kuric took cover and

wasn’t hurt. But he’s known violence in his homeland, he said, and knows “exactly what is gun.”You can lose your life if

you’re afraid, Kuric said. “Don’t be afraid ever to protect yourself.”That’s exactly what the

clerk, Leonard Carr, 45, of Miami, did, police said. He shot Cory Miller, 23, of Dania Beach, dead, Vanegas said Wednesday.“The clerk was armed, at which point multiple shots

were exchanged between the clerk and the suspect,” Vanegas said. “He had no choice.”Kuric, who helps out at the store, said he was taking

out the trash when he saw three men — two of them masked — and asked what they were up to behind the gas station’s convenience store. Kuric said he told them: “I’m security here.”Police have not yet determined whether there was a

third suspect, Vanegas said.Kuric recalls only seeing their eyes and gloved

hands, he said, before running off to warn Carr. But

Homeless man who warned Hollywood clerk in fatal shooting says he’s no hero

that didn’t deter the robbers, who rushed into the store after Kuric, before the clerk could automatically lock the door, Ku-ric said.One of the robbers told him, “You’ll never do this again,” he

said. Kuric was shot at three times as he was taking cover, he said.The armed clerk shot at the robbers, fatally striking Miller,

Vanegas said. There were no patrons inside the convenience store while gunfire was exchanged, he said.The investigation is still ongoing, but charges against Carr are

not likely because he acted in self-defense, Vanegas said.“Unfortunately, someone was killed, but no innocent people

were hurt,” he said.Kuric waved off any references to heroism, even though his

first reaction was to alert Carr — who he said is a father of four — in-stead of running off to safety.Carr could not be reached for com-

ment despite a call to his cellphone and the Exxon gas station. “He saved my life too,” Kuric said

of the clerk, whom he’s known for the past year and a half. “No, I don’t feel like hero. I just feel happy be-cause I’m still alive.”Kuric said he feels loyal to those

who work at the gas station because they’ve given him a place to sleep and offer him food and cof-fee. He said he sought asylum in the United States from Bosnia following the civil war, then separated from his wife, who now lives in Chattanooga, Tenn.Co-worker Jared Montero volunteered to take Carr’s night

shifts until he feels well enough to return to work.“He let me know he’s fine,” Montero said. “He’s a good

worker and I know he’ll be back but the event just happened recently so he just needs to decompress a little bit.”Miller died at the scene, police said. A black curtain was

propped at the convenience store’s entrance until his body was rolled out by the Medical Examiner’s staff shortly after 6:30 a.m.The second man fled in a white car but was caught a few

blocks away, according to Vanegas.Officials identified the surviving suspect as Joshua

Stuart, 19, of Hollywood. He was charged with two counts of second-degree attempted felony murder, second-degree murder and armed occupied burglary.During a brief court appearance Wednesday morn-

ing, Broward Judge John “Jay” Hurley ordered that Stuart remain in jail without bond.

One of the robbers told him, “You’ll

never do this again,” he said. Kuric

was shot at three times as he was

taking cover

You can lose your life if you’re afraid, Kuric said. “Don’t be afraid

ever to protect yourself.”
