Forty-six year old Amir Luge, and a father of five, holds not even the slightest hint or look of a Somali origin. Yet truth prevails. He is a Somali after all, although he detests that, believing beyond any reasonable doubt that he is a Tanzanian of a Zigua tribe.
Luge's ancestors left Tanga not by choice, but by force, after they were chained and exported to the horn of Africa, during the era of Slave trade. Nearly three hundred years later, Luge also returned to the land of his ancestors, not by his choice, but by force after he was forced to flee Somalia in 1990s when the country was plunged into bloody civil wars.
The same goes for Athumani Mwale (65), fondly and popularly referred to by fellow Somalis at Chogo settlement-cum-village in Handeni district, Tanga region as Mzee Kizito. Their story dates back three centuries ago, when Arabs took the 'Wazigua' from Handeni to Somalia as slaves.
Skipping feelings of hopelessness, loneliness and disturbing homelessness that remain imbedded in all refugees around the globe, the two have a unique background: They are back to their country, albeit as refugees.
Of course they both share what other refugees throughout the world undergo. The loss of family members, grief from displacement and loss of freedom! Forget not the tragedy of living without the property and wealth they have toiled for in their economic endeavours.
With most of the Somali Bantus though, at least with Amir Luge, being a refugee is packaged with some sort of mixed feelings. "There is a lot I have left in Somalia, but then, taking a refugee in Tanzania feels more like home."
He says he had known Tanzania way back in the stories he heard from the grandees but now it is no more history, rather living its reality.
When the writer dropped off from the bus he was travelling in from Dar es Salaam he was received by a young man who had beaten his fellow motorcyclists to take me to the refugees' settlement. Smart in his daily bread winning antics, the 'bodaboda' rider offers an introduction of the village-cum-settlement setup, pointing out at plots and their respective owners.
Astonished, he ask him if the Somali Bantus ever got out of their settlement, to which he laughs before he gives a reply: "I am one of them, and all the motorcyclists we've left there are also Somali Bantus."
With a Swahili neutralised accent, kinkier hair, and shorter heights, dark in their skin and more muscular as opposed to their fellow Somalis, it is seemingly difficult to identify them as Somalis unless introduced. Why? You cannot tell the difference between the Somali Bantus and the native Tanzanians; they look alike.
The 1990's Somali civil war that saw the fall of Siad Barre had forced a huge number of Somalis seeking refuge in countries of East Africa, mostly Kenya and Tanzania. For the Somali with Bantu origins, they found this an opportunity to trace back their roots, which they were only hearing through traditional tales.
Mzee Kizito, a Somali Bantu, narrates the story: "I have received the story from my grandmother, who was told by her grandees, some of whom had seen our ancestors who took part in our history."
Initially educated as a priest and later became a teacher, Mzee Kizito tells the story in a way that misses not any key detail of their history. His body, hands and face join forces in telling the story, keeping it all as if he was personally involved in the exodus, obviously applying his teaching skills. He makes sure that no word is misspelled, and when necessary, even clarifying how the word is pronounced.
Listening to the Somali Bantu story may very easily sound fiction. But Mzee Kizito insists: "It was probably mixed (with fiction) to help clarify the stories to young children or it may have fallen victim of oral literature, which usually alters as it passed from one generation to another."
Luge is his brother in law. When they fled Somalia, Luge was 25 years old, but he knew pretty well the story of his ancestors as much as Mzee Kizito does. "I, like any Somali Bantu, have received the stories from my grandparents. Almost every night they would sit us down and tell us the whole story of our ancestors."
And as Mzee Kizito tells the story, Luge also picks up some other little things, like a couple of village names that he never knew of before that they had their origin from the Zigua language.
Since there were more than five groups of Bantus from different parts of Africa who found their way into Somalia, Mzee Kizito is specifically talking about the Zigua Bantu who came from Eastern Africa, Tanzania for that matter.
The exodus to Somalia
Modern sources record that from 1800 to 1890 between 25,000 and 50,000 black African slaves were sold from the slave market of Zanzibar to the Somali coast. Most of the slaves were from the Majindo, Makua, Nyasa, Yao, Zalama, Zaramo and Zigua ethnic groups of Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi.
History has that in the late 1830's, there were several years of consecutive drought in Tanzania that resulted in widespread starvation and death. In the hope of averting their families' starvation, Africans without means to weather this terrible period were reduced to accepting Omani Arab promises of wage labour in a distant land.
"This starvation was so acute that people were forced to eat the skins they had on as their clothes. The starvation was later dubbed in Kiswahili as "Njaa ya Ngozi" meaning "Skin Hunger," says Mzee Kizito.
According to Mzee Kizito, this starvation was earlier foreseen by the village's god called Pangalugome. People in the village would often time approach this ghost and enquire for revelations of what should be expected in future. He tells the story the way he knows it:
The gods warned them that they should be prepared for the starvation, mainly by storing the food they would eat during starvation time. He also gave them a warning that they should not hold a traditional dance for girls for that year, instead they should keep that food they use for the traditional dances to help them in the coming hunger.
Ironically, that same year there were heavy rains that provided plenty of harvest that people thought "the gods have always been telling us the truth, but not this time around". So, with plenty of harvests, instead of keeping them for the coming hunger they were told about, they spent them on the traditional dance.
One day a swarm of locusts flocked the village and ate all the food collected from the good harvest they had. At this point, the villagers remembered the prophecy of their gods. Unfortunately it was too late. They starved, that they even opted to eat the skin cloth.
By this time, the Oman Arabs had started contacts with the East African people and had already established the slave trade. When they found people starving, it was such a good advantage that they took to trick them that they would take them to a better place, where they would give them jobs and provide them with plenty of foods.
The offer obviously seemed better to the villagers. Having no options, the villagers considered the Arabs' suggestion. Immediately the Arabs started to supply them with dates and bums, but just a handful of them. Later, the Arabs offered to take them to a better place where there was plenty of food. It sounded so good to refuse!
Little did they know their destination! The villagers willingly followed the Arabs who later took them to the Pangani coast, and boarded them in a boat, a vessel they had never seen before. "The Arabs also gave them a couple of bowls full of food, said to be bums and dates.
For some reason, as everyone was busy enjoying that food, one person in the group stood up and looked at the window. He couldn't understand what he was seeing, but he knew something was wrong there and needed to be fixed.
He turned to the fellows and told them to look at the window with him. In all direction all they saw was water. They were in the middle of the sea. And they all agreed "we need to do something here". Now there were two Arabs in that boat. Realizing that these people had learnt "something was not right", one Arab started to intimidate them by whipping them randomly.
That beating had raised their suspicion. They thought "one person can no way overcome us." So, they decided they would kill one and keep the other to sail the boat, not to the direction he wanted, but to that one the Bantus commanded him to go, back to their home coast in Tanzania.
However, the remaining Arab got smart and pretended he was willing to take back to Tanzania, but because the Bantus inside that vessel were ignorant of the location he took them straight to the Somali coast, where upon reaching they found many more Arabs who overcame the Bantus and easily captured them as slaves. They were then forcifully sent to the bush where they were kept in a fenced compound. A few days later the Arabs started using them for the purpose they brought them to Somalia, slavery.
One day, as part of duty, a woman was in the farm digging. With her was an Arab supervisor. This woman had a baby that she sat at the shade where she was working. Apparently, the baby started crying, supposedly it was hungry.
As a mother, she reached over for the baby to feed. But because she was a slave, and all that was required of her was to do was dig, the Arab supervisor got annoyed, and with anger, the Arab reached over to the woman, grabbed the baby and chopped off its head.
With anguish and disbelief, the woman took the head and the body of the baby to the camp to show other slaves what happened to her baby. Nobody in the camp accepted or tolerated it and so they came up with a plan.
The elders told the young people that when they are gone to the farm, each one of them should make arrows. The boys did exactly as they were told to, while some other plans were in the making.
Thursdays were usually off duty days for slaves. During these days the slaves were allowed to rest and just have fun. They mostly used Thursdays to relive their tradition, traditional dancing amongst. But on this particular week of the baby's murder, they asked the Arabs if they could also have the Friday to rest, hiding an agenda with them. The masters agreed. Bantus made a good day of it and packed each of their belongings. They then waited when their masters were gone for the Friday worship at the mosque and they escaped from the camp.
Upon returning to the camp, the Arabs didn't find the Bantus and they didn't accept that easily. They determined to make a chase after them in a bid to bring them back. Although they managed to find them, they couldn't bring them back to the camps. The Bantus were fierce and they succeeded to defeat the Arabs and ran away.
Their escape reached them to a spot where today is famously known as Shebhelle River. Shebhellle is translated as "Leopard" in Zigua. "They named this place because of what the Zigua attacked the their enemies they found at the place
In this whole escape plot, which was not just meant to run away from the camp, but go back to their origin home Tanzania, the leaders of the Bantu were two courageous women identified as Wanankhucha and Salama Chamatombo (Chamatombo means big breasts in Zigua, where as the Somali people referred to the lady as Salama Nasdere)
"Having lacked a reliable campus to direct where they were or where they should go, the Somali Bantu found themselves roaming around the Somali forests, failing to fulfill their dreams to return home," says Mzee Kizito
When they reached at this Shebhele River, the two leaders did not agree where to go. Each one proposed the way they thought was appropriate. As a result they got divided, with Wanankhucha scooping a bigger number of people.
Salama Chamatombo went with only a few people who, nevertheless, determined never to follow the way of the Wanankhucha. They swore never to intermarry and hailed their languages, dances and all culture and traditional practices associated with their ancestors.
Life in Somalia
Being far from their original home could not make them abandon their core values as Bantus. They determined to cherish their identity no matter how far they were from their roots.
Among other traditions that the Bantus hailed was taking out newly born babies outside after seven days of the birth. The Bantus also named the villages in their languages and others the names of the villages they came from. "To this date, there are some villages in Somalia that share the names with the villages found here," affirms Mzee Kizito.
Some of the villages with Zigua meaning include: Kisimayo (which has relatively a big number of Zigua in Somalia). The name was a delivery from the Swahili word "Kisima Juu" which can be translated as the "Upper Well".
There is a village called Nyire meaning "Sweet". This is because there was a time where women would only give birth to a baby girl. But when one went to drink water from this place, she would bear a son. Which they found the water of this place as "sweet"
Other names of the villages reflecting the Zigua tribe include Chikwazu, Kwa Mkumburu, Mgambo, Buriaga, Kwa Musa Makua, Msingino, Chizuno and Bweni.
"In fact, the Zigua have such a huge influence in today's Somalia. Although the Somalis are seen as the dominant ethnic group in that country, history is very clear that the so called native Somalis found the Ziguas already in the country," says Mzee Kizito.
The relationship between the Bantus and their once slave masters Arabs weren't sour forever. Admitting that the Bantus have defeated them, the Arabs decided they would instead start to do business with their foes, hence the two traded guns, among other products.
The Trip Back to Tanzania
When war started, Mzee Kizito says, apart from losing his job, the Somalis were looking to kill him. Having worked with the government as a teacher and for a time as a politician, they believed he had accumulated big wealth.
Now that he has lost the job as a result of war, he looked for another job and got one at the harbor as a stevedore. He later decided he would bring the parents from the village they were staying to stay with him at Kismayo.
"As I was working, I managed to earn about $ 200 which I gave to my children and told them to run away from the country before the war intensified. And I specifically told them to un to Tanzania, for I knew that's where I would meet them later when I also run from this country," says Mzee Kizito
Luge, who was 25 years old when they ran from Somalia in 1991, says although it was always tough to start life from a scratch, "apart from the fact that living in Somalia was full of fear, coming to Tanzania as a refugee feels a whole lot better."
He says he feels Tanzania to be his home. "This is the place I had only been hearing from the stories of the grandees, now I am physically here and there is a lot of similarities from what the grandees told us about. From the languages people speak here, to the names of the villages we've found here."
Luge and his family lived in a town called Buriaga. He remembers it was in the February of 1991 when they started a trip to Tanzania. "We had already heard about the war a little while ago, but we were reluctant to run away thinking the fight wouldn't get to our place," explains Luge.
When they found it was no longer safe, they decided to run. Still, their focus to the destination country had remained one, Tanzania. They thought "perhaps this was another attempt to go back where we are originated, Tanzania."
Having left Buriaga, they went straight to Kisumayo where they boarded a fishermen's boat. He recalls the boat to be very tiny and they were about 15 of them, but they didn't have options as the war was intensifying.
They spent a night at Kiamboni, then boarded a boat again to a place called Kiunga where they stayed for one week and headed to Malindi and to Ram where they aimed for Kenyan immigration to get some kind of refugee help such as health check up and entrance permits.
"When we were at the immigration office we were so persistent that we were running away from the war but we were going home not just for refugee shelter. It wasn't easy for them to believe us that we truly were originating from Tanzania, from a Zigua speaking community," narrates Luge.
He says immigration officers then had to call officials who could speak Zigua language. They pulled the young children aside and tried to talk to them in Zigua, to test if they truly were from that ethnicity. Surprised, Luge says, the officers found out the children would speak a pure Zigua language.
The language was enough evidence. The group of refugees was then taken from Malindi to Mombasa where they were held for two days, for what officers said "more investigation" needed.
"They officers couldn't believe us easily. Some of us, especially the women had carried even the stones that we use to grind grains back home. I guess the officers didn't believe that people who were going to their homes would carry even such kind of stuff," he says.
Luge says he wasn't worried though. Just having passed the Somali boarders was enough encouragement that they had left the trouble behind. He recalls a couple of troubles on the way that having settled at the other side of the boarder was itself a bit of the dream fulfillment.
"Coming from Kiamboni to Kiunga, we sailed at this spot famously known as "The Gate". This is the must pass spot whenever people cross the river. And as the people pass at this place they are supposed to shade a blood, it doesn't matter, whether its animal's or human blood."
He says since people were aware of this, they usually got prepared and travelled with an animal, whether a goat or any other so that when they passed there, they would drop it. "If you don't drop an animal as a sacrifice, be assured it is human's blood that would definitely be taken. So, with us, we dropped a goat that we had travelled with"
Having allowed entry into the country through a Kenyan boarder, they settled in Tanga, where they were made to meet their descendant relatives. "It was like a family reunion, and was so much dominated with tears of joy. Neither we nor our host Ziguas couldn't believe that we have finally reunited."
He says the Ziguas they found also told them that their fore grandees had been telling them about their 'relatives' who were taken as slaves to another foreign country. However, they had never dreamt of a reunion at any point in their lives.
"It was completely unbelievable to see how we share exactly same culture and tradition; the songs, dancing and the languages were just so similar that the disbelief factor was more not that we have these similarities but that we have finally met our brothers and sisters," recalls Luge
In Tanga, they stayed for only a short time though. Most of them had relatives in Dar es Salaam who had run away from Somalia before them. And so when they were heading to Dar, they would easily name a person and the place he lives, which most of them stayed at Mbagala area.
When in Dar es Salaam, UNHCR was the one authority that was providing them with most of the financial support. He says despite the non-resemblance with other Somalis, it wasn't hard for the UNHCR to identify them (Somali Bantus) as refugees, as they would also even speak fluent Somali.
Life in Tanzania
This was Amir's first time to be in Tanzania. He says he was immensely encouraged with the equality among people. "Those living in town were not because of their racial or ethnic advantages, I could very easily tell how everybody is equally treated here." Luge says: "In Somalia, Somali Bantus were in so many cases despised and marginalized just because of their ethnicity. Despite all these years we have lived in Somalia, we were still referred to as slaves."
He says their fellow Somalis used to call them "Addon" which means 'Slave". Luge addsL "The towns and cities were for the so called native Somalis and for us Somali Bantus, ours were only the villages."
Living in Tanzania, Luge says has made him realise how he had spent a lot of time and energy but earned very little. He says there are plenty of things that he has done here in Tanzania, that either it took him so long time to do them or has not done them at all in Somalia.
"For example, just staying here in Tanzania for these few years, I have already been able to build my own house, cultivated and harvested a lot of crops. In short, I can really feel or touch the fruits of the efforts I am putting in developing myself and my family at large," Luge notes.
He says their agricultural products were taxed a lot of money in Somalia but had never seen any improvements in their social services. The social services were only better to other Somalis not to the Somali Bantus' community.
"Right now, I have a young brother who has graduated from University. There are others who have finished colleges and have been posted to a number of schools in the country where they are teaching," points Luge.
He says this gives him and the rest of Somali Bantus at large a hope that in future, they would see a number of individuals from Somali Bantu community holding different leadership positions in the country.
He believes it is the history of where they are coming from that inspires their kids to work hard in school and others in their businesses so that they can change their future. He says there were many cases that they were blocked to head or lead any meaningful positions in Somalia, not on merit basis, but because of their ethnicity. Luge and Mzee Kizito say it wasn't hard for them at all to learn the Swahili language and cope with other Tanzanian culture. They say Kiswahili is also very dominant in certain parts of Somalia, especially where the Somali Bantu were living such as the town of Kismayo.
"When you get at this town, you will be surprised how dominant Swahili language is. People at this place prefer to listen to the Swahili radio channels such as Radio Tanzania, and with sports, the Simba and Yanga teams having so many fans at this town," says Mzee Kizito
Chogo: The New Settlement
The new Somali Bantus settlement is at the village called Chogo, about 130 kilometers from Tanga and around 300 kilometers or so from Dar es Salaam. Despite the fact that the settlement is only few hundred kilometers away from Tanga, the people have developed a close link with Dar es Salaam which is more than 300 kilometers away from the village. "We are more used to Dar es Salaam than Tanga since we have lived here when we first came in the country. Apart from that though," Mzee Kizito adds: "Tanga has so many similarities to that of Kismayu. There is this 'Sultanish" culture which, like Kismayu, is very obvious in Tanga"
Prior to being shifted to Chogo, Somali Bantus were living at a nearby village called Mkuyu, their home of more than 10 years, but the area was too small for them, especially that they are farmers by nature who need enough land to cultivate their crops.
Upon arrival in Chogo, some 80 km away from Mkuyu each household received 3 acres of land, half acre to build a settlement house and the 2.5 acres for farm.
Looking at how the Chogo village is fully cropped and a very greenish place, one does not have to do a research to find out what kind of people Somali Bantu are. Whether it's their history or their nature that inspires them, their work says enough what these individuals are capable of
You can very clearly see how the 2.5 acres set for farming have been very well utilized for that purpose. There is no idle piece of land between a house and a house. Rather, it is a maize cultivated piece of land that divides a house from the other.
Passing by their houses in the morning hours, you hardly will find individuals staying idle at home. The kids are obviously at schools, the parents are all gone to the farms while the young people have probably gone to sell their businesses 'if not in their bodaboda' business. Despite his age of 65 year old, Mzee Kizito, apart from the two acres surrounding his home, he has some extra 8 acres away which he has planted maize and simsim. Within the same farm, he has planted 240 orange trees, where he expects to harvest about 30,000 oranges.
"Additionally, I have 60 mango trees which have already bore mangoes but in total I have about 130 mango trees," says Mzee Kizito
Luge says: "Nine years ago when we moved in here at this village, the place was simply a forest. We have had a number of encounters with wild animals here. But look at it now, no one can tell if this place was nothing but a jungle."
The UNHCR had fully supported the Somali Bantu for the first two years, 2003 to 2005, when they moved at Chogo. Since then, they have fully been depending on themselves.
"I have never seen such a hard working people in my life like these Somali Bantu," says Winfrida Zoya, a Settlement Commandant, adding: "Honestly, the neighbouring community is a very lazy people. Imagine last year, these Somali Bantu led in maize production over the whole district."
Luge says there were cases where the host individuals at the surrounding villages have taken food from them because they (the neighboring community) didn't produce enough.
There are number of agricultural groups in the village, but one famous is named Mauya. This group has only 13 members, and the village council has given them 250 acres that they currently grow only simsim. Mzee Kizito says they preferred simsim since it is the crop that they also grew in Somalia but also one that doesn't need too much care, like guarding it from monkeys, wild pigs or rats.
Within seven years (from 2005) of their own independence from the UNHCR, a lot of individuals have made some incredible achievement, including buying their own trucks, which they use to transport crops and other business goods from outside the village and sometimes taking the goods to the outside market.
Two other individuals have bought power generators to supply power in the village for individual payment of Sh15,000 per month for their domestic use, while those with extra uses like shops pay Sh30,000 per month
The UNHCR, working with the Tanzanian authorities and the Tanzanian non-governmental organization, Relief to Development Society, have helped to build some social services such as schools, primary and secondary.
There is also a health centre and market constructed by the government, and a nursery school, partly built with the Free Pentecost Church of Tanzania in collaboration with the Finland government.
"Unlike some other public schools, our school doesn't have big problems such as desks or books. All of our pupils and students sit on desks and we have enough books for most of the subjects, maybe for a standard two which has little need for Kiswahili books," says Peter Kweka, Kwa Mdami primary school acting head teacher.
With 411 pupils, Kwa Mdami primary school has a shortage of only three teachers. In last years' standard seven examination results, out of 33 students, 23 of them passed the exams.
Wema Kerefu, the Enrolled Nurse at the village's health center, mentions the lack of laboratory expert as the only challenge at the hospital. She says all the laboratory equipment is available, but the health center lacks an expert to operate it.
"My husband was the only laboratory technician here, but he went for studies and when he came back, he was assigned to the dispensary. So, at the moment, we treat most of the patients in accordance with their illness record not the testing results," says Kerefu.
She says, on a daily basis, she administers between 25 and 30 people, mostly being the women and a number of children. She applauds the women's awareness and preference to deliver at the health center than at their home, contrary to their counterparts at the neighboring villages.
Although the health center qualifies for a dispensary status, Kerefu blames the political unwillingness to uplift the health center. Kerefu, who was initially trained as a Nurse Mid Wife, says she sometimes has to act as a doctor as well. With a total of three wards, each with 8 beds, the health center serves three surrounding villages namely Chogo Kijijini, Chogo Makazi and Msilwa village. Kerefu says the center doesn't need much construction at the moment, maybe only a single building, for a theater.
The Settlement Commandant, Zoya, says currently the neutralization process is still going on, though the system has kind of being an obstacle she says. "There are almost 50% of individuals have already received the neutralization and the other 50% are still processed.
"The women and elders are the bigger group in that neutralization figures. The young people have a little bit being reluctant to the process as some of them want a resettlement to a third country, which is not possible for their case" says Kerefu.
She named the criteria acceptable for resettlement to a third country as: when a refugee is not accepted at the second country she/he has run to, or if he/she needs a family reunion or if for a medical grounds.
Kerefu lauded the Somali Bantu to have a very good relationship with their neighborhood. "I have previously worked in other refugee camps and settlement but these people are different. So far, I have never received any complains of them being in quarrel with their host neighbourhood".

The writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson takes his time and thoughtfully chooses the kinds of stories he wants to tell. To this end, his patience has left fans of his dynamic pictures with only a handful to ponder and obsess upon. Luckily, the small number of films to which he's made (6 in all) in no way diminishes the artistic strength of the work. In fact, one might argue that with the possibility of a minor hiccup in Punch Drunk Love (a decent but not great film) that both his reputation and talent continue to grow. He is among a small number of my favorite directors working today who make powerful, smart and compelling films that eschew Hollywood conventions. His films are not easy to emotionally or intellectually abandon, as they have a unique way of sticking to your pyschic bones well after the roll of the end credits. His newest success, The Master, already christened as a tour de force by some, opens nation-wide today. We'll have to wait a few months before it becomes available for purchase but you can always take a look back at his previous films (There Will Be Blood, Hard Eight, Magnolia).

10:30 p.m. – a concert starring Steel Pulse will begin at the North Park Lawn.
Although he had to settle for second aboard Pride of Silver
in the day's richest race, Joel Rosario, the defending Autumn meet champion,
collected four victories.
It was the second quadruple of 2011 at Hollywood Park for
Rosario, who won four races May 21 during the Spring/Summer meet. Rosario led that meet
with 64 wins.
Two of Rosario's victories Thursday came in tandem with
trainer John Sadler, taking the second with Domonation and the sixth with
Musical Arts. The rider also captured the third with Star Nicholas and the
seventh with Wallstreeter.
A 4-year-old gelded son of Skimming and the Bold Badgett
mare Aloha Mangos, Senator Bob relaxed on a clear lead and was never menaced en
route to his second victory in as many starts on the Hollywood Park grass. The California bred had won
an optional claimer versus state breds July 17.
Owned by Calvin Nguyen and trained by Jim Kasparoff, Senator
Bob has won four of 28 and earned $178,823. Two of his wins have come in seven
races since being claimed by his current connections for $25,000 April 14 at
Golden Gate Fields.
In ending a three-race losing streak, Senator Bob, who broke
from the inside in the field of 12, returned $10.40, $6 and $4.40 as the 4-1
second choice.
Pride of Silver, trying to provide trainer Bob Hess, Jr.
with his 999th career victory, finished a head in front of Bailouttheminister.
Making his first appearance on turf, Pride of Silver, a 7-1
shot, paid $8.20 and $5. The show price on Bailoutheminister, an 11-1 outsider,
was $7.80. Renegade Storm, the 5-2 favorite, was fifth.
Favored Roman Chic wired her eight opponents in the fourth,
providing trainer Mike Mitchell with his 857th win at Hollywood
Park. Mitchell is two behind Charlie Whittingham for second on the all-time
list. Bobby Frankel leads with 952 local victories.

It's a fleck of some blue mineral in a rock? Some sort of alien hoofprint? An open-pit mine? A large valley surrounded by high mountains with some forested areas around a lake at the center? I really can't say for sure what it's supposed to be until I know the approximate scale. That's the nature of fractal things.
Cues like a scale bar, labels on features, rivers (if applicable), or roads (again, if applicable) would all go a long way towards helping me to understand your intent here. A label that describes the purpose of the image would be very helpful (e.g. the mineral type, animal type, mine name, or valley name) to helping me, the reader.
I'm not a big fan of the "blobs of noise" mountains style (which is ironic, considering the tools I make). I also find the color a bit bright. However, it is something a bit different than what I usually see around here. As a WIP, it's undoubtedly a good first step.

Fluoride During Childhood
Topic Overview
Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay and dental cavities. It is added to local water supplies, toothpastes, and other mouth care products. Most communities in the United States have fluoride added to their water supply. Studies show a reduction in tooth decay of 50% or more in children if fluoride is added to a community's water supply.1
To find out how much fluoride is in your drinking water, call your local water company or the state health department. If you have your own well, have the state health department check your water to find out if your family needs fluoride from other sources.
Normal amounts of fluoride added to public water supplies and bottled water are safe for children and adults. If your child needs extra fluoride, your dentist may recommend supplements. Use these supplements only as directed. And keep them out of reach of your child. Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
Ask your doctor or dentist whether your children need fluoride treatments. If your children need fluoride, your dentist will recommend additional sources of fluoride. Research shows that fluoride gels, toothpastes, and varnishes reduce tooth decay in children and teens.2
Too much fluoride swallowed during the early childhood years may cause white, brown, or black spots or streaks on the outside of the teeth (fluorosis). This may also cause the tooth enamel to become rough.
- Fluorosis develops during the first 8 years of childhood while the outer enamel layer of the teeth is still growing.
- Fluorosis is not harmful to your general health. In rare, severe cases of stains caused by too much fluoride, a dentist may bleach the teeth to remove stains or may bond resin fillings onto the tooth to cover stains.
Can fluoride be dangerous?
Fluoride is safe in the amounts provided in water supplies but can be toxic in large amounts. Toxic levels depend on your child's weight. A lethal dose of fluoride for a 3-year-old child is 500 mg and is even less for a younger child or infant. Keep all products containing fluoride, such as toothpastes and mouthwashes, away from children. If you think your child may have swallowed too much fluoride, call your local poison control center or the National Poison Control Hotline right away at 1-800-222-1222.

With Memorial Day weekend in our rear view and the official kickoff to summer style underway, bold stripes have made their annual return to our closets. Here, we talk the past and present of three of the season's most iconic renditions.
Nautical Stripes
This alternating pattern of blue and white began in the 19th century as the standard issue uniform for the French Navy. Their goal? To help the crew spot sailors who fell overboard. Today, it's hard to retreat to any summer locale without spotting this timeless navy-inspired design.
Rugby Stripes
Comprised of thick, horizontal stripes in bold, alternating colors, contemporary rugby stripes are inspired by (you guessed it) the sport's traditional polo-style jerseys. The stripes went mainstream in the 1950s, as Americans borrowed this sporty look from friends across the pond.
Chevron Stripes
This eye-catching zigzag stripe ranks high among patterns with military roots. By definition, it's an inverted V-shape used on military badges to indicate rank or denote length of service. Today, it's ever-present in the world of fashion (thanks, Missoni). Find it splashed everywhere, from sundresses to pillows.

Nicolet School Board hires new assistant principal
The Nicolet School Board on Monday approved the hiring of Mae Beard as an assistant principal beginning in the 2012-13 school year. Beard currently serves in the same capacity at Menomonee Falls High School.
Beard was one of seven finalists for the position and was interviewed by a cross-section of representatives, including administrators, teachers, other school staff, parents and students.
Beard will replace Jason Kestner, who is resigning from the district at the end of the school year.
Glen Hills recognized as a Green Ribbon School
Glendale — Glen Hills Middle School is among two schools in the state and 47 schools in the country to be recognized as 2016 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools.
The program, in its fifth year, recognizes schools that improve the health of students, cut energy costs, and promote environmental sustainability.
Glen Hills received a LEED Gold for Existing Buildings certification in 2013 for its 43-year-old facility. The building has solar panels on the roof that heat the pool. The lighting is LED-based, with motion detectors in all classrooms, and all cafeteria waste is composted. Low-flow toilets and energy-efficient water fountains are among some of the other energy-efficient features in the building.
The school's 15-student "green team" even conducts classroom audits, going to each classroom to make sure teachers and students are composting and recycling. The team is led by 7th grade teachers Katie Staacke and Lauren Picado, but they say the students have taken ownership of the initiative.
"We want to inspire them to make good choices when it comes to our Earth," Staacke said. "There are small things we can do in our day-to-day life, and we hope these students will take what they have learned and teach others to become more sustainable on the local, state and national level. They are excited about the award and what they've done, and they are motivated to do more."» Read Full Article
Dominican High School grad Kevin Brauer repurposing old clothing with Upties business
Glendale — Kevin Brauer was cleaning out his closet when he came across a memorable button-down shirt from his childhood that he had outgrown.
"I knew it was too small, but I wanted to use the fabric out of something," he said. "I had this split-second flash of inspiration to turn the shirt into a necktie."
That lightbulb moment happened more than a year ago, when he was a senior at Dominican High School. Curious to see where the idea could go, he asked his aunt to teach him how to sew. Before long, he and three of his friends were spending their after-school hours stitching in his parent's Glendale basement.
"I didn't know where any of this was going to go," he said. "I just wanted to follow through and see if we could do it."
In March 2014, Brauer launched Upties, named after the concept of "upcycling" neckties. He has since filled about 100 orders for ties and bowties made out of old dress shirts.» Read Full Article

Draw between Whitefish Bay and Nicolet heats up NSC soccer race
Nicolet girls soccer coach Tony Quintero and Whitefish Bay headman Rob Dubinski consider themselves friends.
Their respective teams, however, consider themselves to be the most heated of rivals.
And the Knights and the Blue Dukes made things rather warm with their intensity out on a chilly, windy night at Nicolet April 26 as they fought to a physical and fast 1-1 tie in a North Shore Conference tilt.
"It's the kind of game you bunker in and soldier on," said Quintero. "These kids play each other in club and youth ball and just know each other very well. ...We knew we'd have to grind it out minute by minute."
"It was one of those Nicolet-Bay games," said Dubinski. "We're considered a power, but they're coming in with a very good team. We were the ones who ended their season last year (in WIAA tourney play) so we knew that they'd come at us like a terror.» Read Full Article
Nicolet School Board approves shared superintendent agreement with Fox Point-Bayside
Glendale — The Nicolet School Board has agreed to share its superintendent and business managers with the Fox Point-Bayside School District under a shared services agreement.
The Fox Point-Bayside School Board had been conducting a search to replace outgoing Superintendent Vance Dalzin since February. After receiving 30 applications, they interviewed five candidates before realizing Nicolet Superintendent Robert Kobylski - whom they had consulted for advice - best met their criteria of an ideal superintendent.
The Fox Point-Bayside School Board is proposing to hire Kobylski through a two-year shared services agreement. Also part of the agreement is Nicolet's business manager, Jeff Dellutri, who would replace Fox Point-Bayside's outgoing business manager, Janice DeMeuse.
Kobylski and Dellutri would remain employees of Nicolet under the agreement, but Fox Point-Bayside would pay 40 percent of their salaries. Kobylski and Dellutri would theoretically spend 60 percent of their time on Nicolet matters, and 40 percent of their time on Fox Point-Bayside matters. The division of salary and time was mostly based on enrollment differences in the two districts.
Kobylski and Dellutri would both receive a 20-percent pay increase under the proposed agreement, as they expect their 50-hour weeks to turn into 60-hour weeks. The compensation model is similar to the pay increase that resulted from the shared superintendent position created in the 1980s in the Glendale-River Hills and Maple Dale-Indian Hill school districts.» Read Full Article
Solar energy interest is heating up in Shorewood
Shorewood — Lorna Young and Steve Cupery installed solar panels on their Shorewood garage in December, and already they are are producing more energy than they use.
With the help of tax credits and green energy rebates, they spent about $8,000 for 14 solar panels. Their electricity bill dropped from $100 to $17 in the month of March, and they are expecting their bills to continue getting lower in the future as their surplus energy rebates add up.
"There are very few things you can do to your house that pay back faster than solar energy," Cupery said.
Young and Cupery were among 30 Shorewood residents who came to Three Lions Pub on Tuesday, April 26, for a "Solar Power Hour" informational session organized by the Shorewood Conservation Committee and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.
The two entities collaborated to create Solar Shorewood, which brings solar energy customers together for a group purchase that is 28 percent lower than market price. The MREA has partnered with the city of Milwaukee on a similar program since 2013, resulting in 98 Milwaukee homes and businesses converting to solar power.» Read Full Article
North Shore Sports Shorts: April 28
New Greyhounds coach Patrick Sullivan is proud of his links for former coach Drake Zortman, who stepped aside at the end of last season to take a job at Homestead after leading Brian Morris to Shorewood's first WIAA individual state berth in many years.
"I'm extremely excited to be taking on this new role," he said. "I actually had the opportunity to play football for Drake Zortman in high school at Whitefish Bay and coached with him two falls ago for MessWood (Shorewood/Messmer) during his final season with the program, so it's, on a personal level, very cool to be following in his footsteps so to speak.
"The thing that's impressed me the most about the guys on the team thus far is how quickly they all meshed. They're quite competitive with one another at practices but really do a great job of pushing one another in a positive manner."
The Greyhounds will be a young group with three juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen in the varsity line-up. They include juniors Tommy Curtis, Emmett Ognar, and Henry Dunsirn; sophomores BrendenFardella and Jacob Thorstenson and freshmen Aaron Eimersand Jack Madell.» Read Full Article
DOT to host hearing on intersection of Brown Deer, Green Bay roads
Brown Deer — The state Department of Transportation will be holding a public information meeting to gauge Brown Deer's opinion on three potential interchange configurations at Brown Deer and Green Bay roads.
The public information hearing will be held at 4 p.m. May 17 at the Lois and Tom Dolan Community Center, 4355 W. Bradley Road.
The three interchange configurations being proposed include an expansion of the existing overpass, removing the overpass to create a traditional at-grade intersection and the creation of a median U-turn, also known as a "Michigan left" intersection.
Any of the intersection designs would be capable of handling projected traffic growth in 2040. The interchange configurations differ in their sensitivity if traffic exceeds those projections.
If the DOT were to expand the overpass, traffic would have to increase by 45 percent over the DOT's projected 2040 traffic volumes before a movement would fail. A median U-turn would be able to handle a 40-percent increase in traffic volume before a movement would fail. The at-grade four-way intersection would only be able to take a 15 percent increase in traffic volume over the 2040 projections.» Read Full Article

Youthful Nicolet soccer team off to 8-1 start
Addition by subtraction or simply a turning of the wheel that's long been coming?
Either way you cut it, veteran Nicolet girls soccer coach Tony Quintero is going to take his team's 8-1 start, including a 3-0 sweep and the championship in a tournament in Mensaha on April 23.
Not even a bus breakdown on the way back home from Mensha could dim their spirits.
"The parents were practically in Port Washington by the time we called, but they were able to double back and get us," Quintero said, "but the girls didn't see it as a problem. They brought the boom box out and did a little dancing while waiting. They didn't take it too seriously."
But what Quintero is taking seriously is the high level of play with an extraordinarily young team.» Read Full Article
26-year-old killed in shooting on Glendale border
Milwaukee —A 26-year-old man died this week after being shot near a McDonald's at Good Hope Road and Teutonia Avenue.
David J. Stange, whose last known residence was in West Bend, was riding in a vehicle with another person in the 3000 block of West Good Hope Road when a person in another vehicle fired several shots into their vehicle at about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 24, according to Milwaukee police.
Stange died the next day. The second victim remains hospitalized for his injuries as of Tuesday afternoon.
The victims were involved in an illegal drug transaction prior to the shooting, according to the Milwaukee Police Department. Milwaukee police continue to investigate the shooting and are seeking suspects.
Teachers continue scholarship program on their own
Shorewood — Teachers in the North Shore are doing the best they can to maintain a student scholarship that was previously overseen by their teacher's union.
The North Shore United Educators Scholarship has awarded more than $283,000 in scholarships since 1988. Historically, a $2,000 scholarship has been awarded to one student from each of the six North Shore high schools under the regional UniServ teacher's union. In 2013, as a result of Act 10, the North Shore UniServ chapter dissolved and was replaced with a regional system serving more than 100 districts.
The change in union organization left no staff in place to organize the scholarship fund. Teachers in the North Shore decided to continue the scholarship fund on their own, but the program doesn't have the resources it once enjoyed.
For the first time this year, the scholarship dropped from $2,000 per student to $1,000 per student. A large annual scholarship banquet has been replaced by several teacher outings to local restaurants, which agree to donate 25 percent of food proceeds to the fun. The bulk of the funds come from raffle tickets purchased by teachers at these events.
"The staffing at the middle level has completely changed, so there are fewer people to organize, promote and run a large event," said Amy Miller, a Shorewood teacher and secretary-treasurer of the scholarship fund. "But we as public school teachers in the North Shore think it's important to continue to recognize and honor our students in this way."» Read Full Article
Davis officially retires as Nicolet swim coach
Ever the sentimental type, retiring Nicolet swim coach Dwight Davis' recent last words to team members after 30 years of success came in an email and were instructive of how his team members both remember him fondly and on occasion roll their eyes at some of the things he says.
"Seniors remember that you never get a second chance for a first impression," he wrote, "but your last impression is the lasting one. Finish well. Returning team members start training. NOW. Davis."
Not "Coach Davis," not "Mr. Davis," not "Dwight" but simply "Davis" ("It was just shorter and easier for the kids," he said) will be remembered on many levels for what he has done at Nicolet since he arrived in Glendale in 1985. Because, along with coaching many successful swimmers, including Olympic champion Garrett Weber-Gale, he taught physical education, life-guarding and water safety.
Knowing that is instructive when thinking about when Davis was brought into St. Luke's Hospital in January 2015 after a mild stroke. He would eventually have open-heart surgery.
"It turned out that the admitting nurse was in one of my lifeguard classes, so was a resident (who was helping him)," said Davis, "and the person who did my blood draw went 'Oh my God, I thought I recognized you.' That person was in one of my classes, too."» Read Full Article

Shiny Pokémon
this wiki
'Shiny Pokémon' (Japanese: ポケモンの光る Pokémon no Hikaru) are Pokémon with a very different type of colour than the original coloured Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon has been introduced since Generation II in Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version which the first shiny Pokémon that was introduced was a Red Gyarados. Shiny Pokémon have been considered to be one of the rarest Pokémon due to their rare appearance. The term "shiny" is a reference to their difference in color than the original also to their sparkling animation and sound effect when the battle starts. The term was unofficial prior to Generation V, when the Pokédex began cataloging shiny Pokémon and using the term itself.
In Generation II, when a battle starts the game picks four random numbers between 0 and 65535. If any of the numbers is less than eight then the encounter will be a shiny Pokémon. The chance of seeing a shiny Pokémon is 1 in every 8192, or 0.0122%. From Generation III onwards, shiny Pokémon are determined by other factors such as the Trainer ID number and the personality value of the Pokémon. They can sometimes become shiny when you got the right amount of Soft Resets, also known as SR through a shortcut. This can be time consuming because of the amount of the time spent constantly SR'ing. Achieving a shiny this way can take days or even weeks.
There are a few different methods to increase your chances of obtaining a shiny Pokémon.
Chaining (Gen IV)
This method uses the Pokéradar in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon Platinum to encounter chains of the same Pokémon. Here's a few tips:
- If the bush just shakes, it is a Sinnoh Pokémon.
- If the bush has a whitish shake, it might be a non-native Pokémon.
- Never use it in water, caves or tall grass.
- The bush with the same type of shake as the first Pokémon you battled that is the farthest away within a four by four grid most likely is the same Pokémon.
- The likelihood of finding a Shiny Pokemon increases the higher your chain continues unbroken. After finding 40 of the same Pokemon in a row, the odds are at their highest. Sparkling grass indicates a Shiny Pokemon is in that bush.
Masuda Method (Gen IV-V)
This method is when you breed two Pokemon, one from your game, and one from another language's game (Japanese, English, French, etc.). At first the chances of finding a shiny are 1/8192, if you use this method in gen IV the chances are cut, to 1/2048, whereas in gen V they are cut even more to 1/1365.3. So the chances of hatching a shiny are extremely easier. Although this seems to be high, and it is much higher than the normal method, but using the Masuda Method still mathematically averages one shiny egg per every 947 eggs. So if you got a shiny egg before the 947th egg you hatched, you should count yourself lucky. This method was created and announced by Junichi Masuda, director of GameFreak to add fun stuff to the game after you beat it. Such as shiny hunting, using the GTS, and more!
- I suggest going on to the Global Trade Station (GTS) and get a Japanese Ditto.
- Then select a pokemon and put it in the Day-Care with the Japanese Ditto.
- Keep hatching until you find a shiny.
Soft Reset (Useful for Legendaries and Shiny Starters (Gen. II to Gen. V))
One method which is easy enough (but often very time consuming) works for starters and most Legendary Pokémon. Basically, the method is to stand in front of the legendary Pokémon you will catch/starter you will take and save. If you don't get a shiny when you get your starter/battle the legendary, soft reset the game by pressing A+B+Start+Select on the GBA and L+R+Start+Select on the DS. This method can easily require over 1000 resets before you get a shiny, however with enough dedication and patience your efforts can pay off.
In-Game Shiny Pokémon
In-game shiny Pokémon are met as part of the main story in some Pokémon games. For example, the Red Gyarados appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions, and in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions as part of a story arc, and can be caught in a way similar to most legendary Pokémon.
In FireRed and LeafGreen, a Trainer with a shiny Espeon can be battled inside the Trainer Tower on one of the Sevii Islands. There is also another trainer with a shiny Meowth.
In Pokemon Black and White Versions 2, the player can catch a Shiny Haxorus in the post-story. The player can also receive a Shiny Gible in Black 2 and a Shiny Dratini in White 2.
Shiny Pokémon in the Anime series
- Rhyhorn: in season 2 there was a shiny Rhyhorn that was pink. was seen again after Jesse found out about it.
- Noctowl: Ash Ketchum caught a Shiny Noctowl while on his travels through Johto. It also seems to be about half the size of other Noctowls.
- Shuckle: While in Johto, Ash and co. discovered a Shiny Shuckle.
- Gyarados: First seen in the Lake of Rage and was caught by Lance. It was also seen again during the battle between Kyogre and Groudon.
- Magneton: Owned by Pokémon Trainer Jackson when he battles Ash in the Silver Conference.
- Swellow: Winona, the Fortree City Gym Leader has a Shiny Swellow.
- Donphan: A Shiny Donphan has been shown in the Hoenn Region on Dontoe Island.
- Magikarp: Was seen briefly in the episode "Judgement Day".
- Dustox: Jessie's Dustox fell in love with a male Shiny Dustox and then was released similar to how Ash released his Butterfree. (Except Jessie smashed Dustox's Poké Ball so it could go with its true love)
- Metagross: In the episode "Noodles! Roamin' Off", James in Team Rocket went out to see this strangely colored Metagross that people had been talking about, and was promptly attacked by the shiny Metagross.
- A Ditto in "Dealing With Fierce Double Ditto Drama" was shiny.
- Ariados: In the Special Episode "Dawn's New Journey", Dawn and Cinco encountered a swarm of Ariados as well as a shiny one using Psychic so the others could wrap Dawn and the others with String Shot.
- Entei, Raikou, and Suicune: the three legendary beasts were shiny guardians of the city in the Pokémon Movie: Zoroark: Master of Illusions
- Hydreigon owned by Carlita in White, Victini, and Reshiram. It is used in the tournament In that movie.
- Golurk owned by Carlita in White: Victini and Zekrom. It was used to guard Juanita's trailer that contained Victini dolls and candy.
- Onix: The Pokemon was seen near the end in, "Expedition to Onix Island" after Meloetta uses her song to calm down the other attacking Onix. It seemed to have been the leader of the Onix.
- In Generation II games shiny Pokémon are, on average, slightly stronger than their normal coloured counterparts. However, this is not true for later generations.
- Unlike what some fans believe if you evolve a shiny Pokémon it still remains shiny.
- There are examples of Pokémon which, although coloured differently, are not officially shiny, such as gender differences in regular colouring such as in Hippowdon, Jellicent and Frillish however these are not shiny but each gender will have its own shiny colour that differs from the usual colour for their gender.
- The first alternately colored Pokémon to appear in the anime series was seen by Ash in the first season when he released his Butterfree so it could find a mate.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, two Kecleon own a shop in the town square. One is a dark purple color.
- The Pokémon which reside in parts of the Orange Islands are coloured differently to other Pokémon. The color changes are due to climate and natural adaption according to Professor Ivy.
- In the Anime, "The Island of the Pink Pokemon" was just that- apparently, eating the berries there turned Pokemon pink however if the Pokemon stop eating the beriies they will discontinue being pink. Ash's Pikachu was temporarily pink due to this.

Eagle Claw Hosts Company Fishing License Sale Event
April 2013 - In conjunction with the April 1st license renewal date in Colorado, Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle hosted their first annual Company fishing license event by providing a Colorado fishing license to all employees as part of their benefits package.
Over a period of two days, Eagle Claw teamed up with the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife to host an on site license sale event, the first of its kind for both Eagle Claw and the State of Colorado. Colorado Parks and Wildlife provided a group of trained license agents and the equipment needed to facilitate issuing a fishing license to all employees of Eagle Claw in this pilot program.
Both parties were extremely happy with the outcome. "It is the perfect way to add a great benefit to our employees and to help with our industry's recruitment efforts at the same time. Our company felt one of the best ways to bring new anglers to the sport of fishing was to take the efforts to heart and start right here with our own employees," stated Chris Russell, Marketing Director for Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle. "The Division of Parks and Wildlife was very helpful in making this happen by sending out their highly trained team to handle this event."
"Tyler Baskfield of Colorado Parks and Wildlife said, "This novel idea that Eagle Claw brought to us has spurred a number of conversations inside the Division and we are looking at ways to take this same style of event to other companies based here in Colorado. We can make it easy to obtain a license or parks pass and encourage people to get involved in the outdoors, while providing a great benefit that companies can share with their employees."
Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle, a family owned company, has been part of the Denver community for over 85 years. To learn more about this event or other Eagle Claw programs visit us at www.eagleclaw.com.

My brother-in-law is a devoted fan of the Seattle Mariners, and made the trip this weekend for the Mariners vs Boston series. He has to carry certain things to every game, and I've been teasing him for awhile about his tattered game-bag. So today I took him on a pilgrimage to the Tom Bihn store, and he came away the proud owner of a new Cadet. I felt a little bit like a crack dealer, pushing various must-have accessories on him :) He ended up getting a small and a medium clear OP, but really wanted the pouches to have hooks at each end, so they would hang straight across instead of dangling down. The helpful guy at TB found some extra hooks, which were easy to sew onto the other end of each pouch. The pix below attempt to show off the nicely centered pouches, along with the game essentials.
The Cadet (larger sized) comfortably held a Mariners jacket, a hoody, sunscreen, hat, power bar, snacks, score-keeping stuff, sunglasses, radio, batteries, etc. It was fun to introduce someone to Tom Bihn. He had actually met Tom and Darcy at a dinner party, but had never met their great products. He's now a fan!

- "Contested Turf, currently under control of Front Yard Ballas, a major set of Ballas. Old Reece's barber shop has been the local news service for years. Worth hitting up for information."
- — GTA San Andreas Website.
Idlewood is a district in Los Santos, San Andreas. North of the district are Glen Park and Jefferson, while to the south are Willowfield and El Corona. Districts west of Idlewood are Commerce and Little Mexico, while to the east are Ganton and East Los Santos.
The neighborhood has a high crime-rate and, just like Ganton, is notorious for gang violence, drug-trafficking and prostitution. Idlewood primarily consists of small, single-family houses, housing projects, stores, a Pizza Stack restaurant, a gas station, a few warehouses and the Alhambra club. Idlewood is an african-american neighborhood with a population of 465.
It is likely that Idlewood is based on real life Inglewood, California. However, the projects area of Idlewood; known as Crystal Gardens (where the crack house is during the mission Cleaning the Hood) is based on the Jordan Downs housing projects in Watts.
Idlewood is the main place to recieve the Big Smoke's missions, in the mission Ryder, the player is introduced to restaurants and barbers there. The neighborhood plays a major role in the mission Grove 4 Life, where Carl and Sweet Johnson take a part from the neighborhood back to the GSF.
Gang control
Idlewood, in 1992, had become a stronghold for the Ballas gang specifically the Front Yard set, but the district had previously been held by Grove Street Families. Sometimes Aztecas members can be seen walking their turf in the southern end of Idlewood as their territory shares a border with Idlewood violence between them is common when this happens. Later on the game, in the mission Grove 4 Life, CJ and Sweet go to Idlewood and took at least two territories from there back. Carl Johnson can acquire Idlewood as GSF turf by starting a gang war, depending on the player's actions.
Notable Residents
- Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris (Early 1990s - 1992, moved to East Los Santos)
Places of Interest
The Alhambra is the most visited and known place of interest in the neighborhood, an unamed train stop in the border with El Corona, a pizza stack, a tattoo parlor and the Old Reece's barber are the most famous attractions in the neighborhood.

- Sprunk soft drink vending machine (replenishes health) (at the Going Gas Station and inside the Alhambra Club)
- Ten Gang Tags
- One Unique Stunt Jump
- Multiplayer icon down the street from Big Smoke's house. It is also next to a gang tag.
It is possible that Idlewood could be returning in GTA V; this is for many reasons. First of all, Idlewood was located in Los Santos, near Grove Street, and since Grove Street Families are returning, it is likely Idlewood will be too. Another reason is from a screenshot, showing a Freight driving through a small town resembling Idlewood (see gallery).
