By Mark Wachtler
December 18, 2014. Jacksonville, FL. (ONN) A recent question posted on LinkedIn social media by a US veteran has generated a firestorm of comments regarding the credibility and sincerity of one of the largest veterans charities in America - Wounded Warrior Project. The comments were passionate both for and against the organization, with most vets settling somewhere in the middle. We were surprised nobody stumbled upon one curious fact about the charity - why is Wounded Warrior Project sitting on $175 million unspent dollars?
Vets need help. Below are 27 veterans organizations recommended by readers.
What do you think of the Wounded Warrior Project?
That was the title of the discussion on LinkedIn's 'US Military Veterans Network' group page one month ago. Being staunch supporters of our nation's vets, we at Whiteout Press have been monitoring the nearly 100 comments with great interest. Without actually calculating the numbers, we estimate that roughly 10% of responding veterans wholeheartedly supported the Wounded Warrior Project and the work they do. Somewhere around 40% said they wanted nothing to do with the charity due to its finances. And a good 50% said they thought WWP did great work but spent too much of their donations on executive salaries, fancy TV commercials and fundraising.
Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. According to the charity's Mission Statement, their 'Vision' is, "To foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history." WWP's website goes on to describe how they carry out that mission, 'To raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members. To help injured service members aid and assist each other. To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members.'
Charity Navigator says…
Many of the veterans who commented on the LinkedIn question about the Wounded Warrior Project cited the website Charity Navigator. The site is a God-send in that it provides unbiased, fact-based information on every charity in America, including the Wounded Warrior Project. The only problem is that the data is two and a half years old. It's still the best source for information on non-profits and the site gives WWP 3 out of 4 stars with a 'financials' rating of 78 out of 100 and a 'transparency' rating of 96 out of 100.

Wounded Warrior Project is also listed as spending 57.9% of its income on services for veterans, 5.6% on salaries and overhead, and 36.3% on fundraising. The organization reported it had $154.9 million in revenue at the end of fiscal 2012, the latest period Charity Navigator provides information for. And it shows WWP spent $95.5 million total in those 12 months, including $55.3 million on programs serving wounded veterans and their families. The key here is to understand - they spent 57% of the money they SPENT in 2012 on services for veterans. But they only spent roughly one-third of the money they RECEIVED in 2012 on services. Same stats, two ways of looking at it.
WWP - charity or investment bank?
To put this topic in perspective, it's worth reminding readers that Harvard University has its own hedge fund containing $32 billion dollars. General Motors has its own bank with $38 billion in it. General Electric has a bank account so big, nobody knows what's in it from day to day, only that GE Capital was one of the largest recipients of the 2008-2009 trillion-dollar bank bailout. The moral of the story is that these institutions aren't in the business of education, automobiles or refrigerators. They are, to be blunt, investment banks gambling in the world's financial markets.
Is Wounded Warrior Project a similar creature? According to numerous warnings from individual watchdogs in the LinkedIn group discussion, WWP doesn't actually perform any services for wounded veterans. Instead, they take in hundreds of millions in donations, keep tens of millions for themselves, and donate a portion to small local charities that actually have programs and services for veterans.
WWP takes the rest and is either uselessly hoarding it or carelessly gambling it on various financial investments. Either way, the money is not making its way to veterans. At last count, Wounded Warrior Project is sitting on $175.5 million - more than the total amount the charity spent on veterans in all of FY2013.
Normally, your author would just assume this is responsible financial management…if it were a mutual fund. But what we found with Wounded Warrior Project is a trend. And the trend shows WWP hoarding a massive amount of money, $175.5 million and growing by a staggering amount each year. Consider the amount of money WWP has kept each of the past few years, not to service veterans, but to sit on and assumedly gamble in the investment markets.
At the end of FY2010, WWP had an unused balance of $8.5 million (from WPP FY2010 financial report).
At the end of FY2011, WWP had an unused balance of $36.3 million (from WPP FY2011 financial report).
At the end of FY2012, WWP had an unused balance of $101.4 million (from WPP FY2012 financial report).
At the end of FY2013, WWP had an unused balance of $175.5 million (from WPP FY2013 financial report).
Do readers see a trend? With US stock markets breaking record highs this year, it'll be interesting to see Wounded Warrior Project's financial statement for FY2014 when it's made public. The question some veterans now have is, why is WWP hoarding so much money? And will it simply vanish with the next dip in the US or global economy the way so many other over-leveraged institutions did as recently as 2009? It's probably safe to say that the donors who give WWP hundreds of millions of dollars expect that money to be used to help wounded veterans, not sat on, invested or gambled.
Veterans speak out
Going back to the original question posted in the LinkedIn veterans group, almost 100 vets chimed in with their own personal opinion of Wounded Warrior Project. None were aware of the above financial information, and instead based their opinions on personal experiences and the review from Charity Navigator (from the LinkedIn group - US Military Veterans Network):
Jennifer posted, "I am a combat wounded vet, and a WWP alum. They are nothing but a marketing giant. The CEO isn't even a veteran. In 2012, he walked away with $311,538 - a third of it in bonus pay. I have grown suspicious of any charity that pays its employees six figures- especially in the name of wounded service members."
Cory wrote, "My issue with WWP is almost 50% of their budget (44%, specifically) is spent on other things than delivering services they provide…So what services does WWP provide? They advertise extremely well, and have a very recognizable brand, but a critical eye paints them as a monetary middle man - taking money from donors, skimming some money off the top (14% of their revenue is spent on WWP staff salary alone), and dispersing a portion of that donation to other, actual service-providing organizations. I've eschewed buying any WWP-branded products, and give directly to the service-providing organizations."
Art said, "I am the Veterans Columnist for the Arizona Republic newspaper, the largest newspaper in the state of Arizona. I say to all veterans, give locally. I looked at the 990 of WWP and the top 10 people take in over 2 million. I wrote a column about this organization some time ago and had the most emails and phone calls in my 10 years of covering veterans' subjects. Most agreed that 2 mil was way too much."
Nathaniel countered them saying, "I'm a disabled veteran that served in OEF. I've been an Alumni WWP for a year and I've found they are and have been wonderful for Veterans, both individuals and families…They do a wonderful job and when my three boys, my wife and I go on their activities, they've gone way above and beyond. My family will never forget how fun and spoiled they were. I commend them on running an outstanding program and know if you ask 'Veterans' who have been blessed by them and the millions of people that donate, they will agree."
Michael posted, "According to their IRS return they do nothing, they farm out everything including the fundraising."
Bob added, "I would never do anything for the WWP. If you want the details and specific objective evidence to support why, please contact me and I will be happy to share it. I am reluctant to post it here because I do not desire to become one more of a long, long list of individuals and groups the WWP has gone after for saying anything against them or their powerful marketing machine."
Lu posted, "I went through the WWP 990, as I do for any national charity, and couldn't believe the cost for Directors (10 of them) plus the Million for consultants."
Richard said, "I LOVE WWP. They do some great work. I have been able to do things with them as a disabled Vet that I wouldn't have been able to do anywhere else. Their Veterans Day Parade in NYC events are the best. They have helped me with transition and benefits. I couldn't have asked for more."
As readers can see, comments from the close to 100 veterans were a mixed bag with some condemning the charity, some passionately supporting it, and most somewhere in the middle. What caught this author's eye however were the vast number of grassroots veteran activists who took the opportunity to post their own personal recommendation for organizations and charities tirelessly working to support veterans. Some of them are already good friends of ours here at Whiteout Press. Some, we've never heard of. The best way we can think to help them is to give them a quick shout-out, a pat on the back, and a public thank you.
Real veterans, real recommendations
The below comments are from the same LinkedIn veterans discussion about the Wounded Warrior Project:
Marianne wrote, "Having recently left the position of Chief, Voluntary Service, I can say that I know for a fact that there is NO overhead charge to any donation made to a VA that is earmarked to help Veterans. We just take the donation, and put it in an account that meets your instructions, work with our staff to find those Veterans, and get 'er done."
David posted, "I think there were great points made about the WWP. I am the CEO for a Veterans' nonprofit, founded & operated by US Military Veterans and their families. Hire A Patriot: a 501(c)3 focused on assisting Active Duty Military, Military Spouses, Wounded Warriors, Caregivers and Veterans in their transition by offering employment opportunities based upon skills they have acquired and perfected while serving in the military. We also assist them in their search for education opportunities and information on resources that are available to them and their families."
Jennifer wrote, "I am a volunteer for Mission: VALOR, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on bridging the gap in Veteran employment; through internships, practicums, and mentors. Through this, our Veterans can obtain not just jobs, but successful and rewarding careers."
Randall said, "From my experience, I have found that community based organization such as the VFW and American Legion have a much lower admin cost and therefore most, if not all donations go to the veterans of the post's community. I know all donations given to a post are kept in a separate account that is used for assisting local veterans only. The admin costs for doing business are paid from the membership dues, not charitable donations."
Rick added, "I would recommend Team Red, White & Blue…Disclaimer, I am a member of Team RWB."
Alexander posted, "I would check out the IAVA if you get the chance. I am a leadership member down in FL. I kind of fell into it because I just got out of the military and started a company helping those in my situation."
Don wrote, "Freedom Farm For Vets is a non-profit located in Wadsworth Illinois, having a simple concept for veterans suffering from PTSD, who the VA has given up on. It is a no stress farm environment which has recently had to remove it's portable toilet because they don't have the money to pay the bill."
Lloyd said, "Still Serving Veterans in Huntsville, AL is a small organization funded by the Call of Duty Endowment (Yes, the video game guys from Activision/Blizzard). They are bending over backwards to help guys find jobs. They are at every career fair I go to. They blast out jobs from all over, constantly finding new sources of openings."
Michael posted, "As a Desert Storm combat veteran and someone who is involved with veterans on the local level, I find there are MANY veterans organizations that do great work. One of the 501(c)3's I work with is Honor Flight, an organization that gets our WWII and Korean War Veterans to Washington to see their memorials."
William simply said, "Thank you." William is the CEO of the Rocky Mountain Veteran Village Foundation.
Bill wrote, "The local DAV Post 86 in Flagler Beach Florida was just given a very needed 2014 Ford Flex. It is most welcome. All the people you find at a Disabled American Veterans post are disabled Veterans that work with Veterans to do whatever they can to help their fellow Vets."
Alfredo added, "I would recommend the Independence Fund. They provide track chairs for wounded service members."
Rafael posted, "The USO for me is the best. They have been giving for a long time."
Bob said, "Here is a link to a charity working with veterans and first responders: Campaign Against IEDs. 100% all volunteer and NO PAID STAFF."
Lu suggested, "I came across Hope for the Warriors and found them a great 'bang for the buck.' Check out their 990. They even make it available on their website."
Tage wrote, "I prefer to donate to We Soldier On in Leeds, Mass. They provide for homeless Vets."
Jason posted, "I'm proud to work for Project Sanctuary…Year after year, 85% or more of Project Sanctuary's funding goes directly to providing the services so desperately needed by our military families to take them from battle ready to family ready."
James added, "Here is a group you may want to check out. It is the National Veterans Memorial. It is run by all volunteers as well as being a memorial for all that have served our country. It has also started a food bank in helping to feed our Homeless and Needy Veterans. When we are able to expand to the future size, we will be adding a recreation area for disabled veterans as well."
Kristin said, "You might check with the American Red Cross's Boots to Business Program. It is currently being funded by MGM Casinos out of Las Vegas, but it seems like they only have a certain number of clients that they really have a handle on with supporting veterans with jobs. Maybe with more sponsors, the Red Cross can reach out to more diverse types of employers."
Mike wrote, "I am on the Board for a group called the FOCUS Marines Foundation. We have US Marines/Corpsmen who have been injured in combat with either physical or mental scars (TBI/PTSD) come to a remote farm outside of St. Louis, MO for a whole week."
Larry added, "I am publishing a book in Jan 2015 with all 2015 profits going to the Fisher House Charleston to be built soon in Charleston, SC to support the over 62,000 patients (Vets -Troops-families) of the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center."
Michael posted, "I am spearheading a fundraising campaign for our returning combat veterans…all donations go towards the mission. Contact me for more information regarding this life saving endeavor. The name of my organization is Warriors in Heart."
Gabriel suggested, "I am a combat Veteran and a member of K-9 Warriors Inc. - provides Elite Service Dogs for Veterans at no cost to them."
Richard wrote, "97% of the referrals we receive are for veterans/troops who are in need of urgent financial assistance for things like food, shelter, car payments, home payments, emergency travel (all of which we raise funds for). We would like to be better know to those who need assistance - Operation Silver Star."
Finally, back to the subject of this article, Alan posted, "I don't know about, or care about high salaries. I just know Wounded Warrior Project has helped me more times than I can count, and I do not have any kind of status. I'm just a poor medically retired Vet. I have nothing but good things to say about WWP. God bless them for what they do."
Since they weren't mentioned above, we'd like to take this opportunity to recommend two more veterans organizations - Veterans for Peace and the Veterans Party of America. They, along with the many groups listed above, are fine organizations worthy of your support.

Anti-bullying work
Last term, on our website, we published a summary of a pupil survey conducted about bullying in our school (http://www.hammondacademy.org.uk/72/pupil-leadership-team).
We would be interested to find out your views around these issues and invite you to answer a short survey based on what the pupils told us.
Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8G3JY3Z
Another aspect of the work we have been doing on anti-bullying is to develop a peer support scheme. This will help children resolve low level issues on the playground without involving adults. The children involved are all very excited about their new roles and have undergone training to support them with this work.
As part of the Herts Anti-Bullying accreditation the PLT and the teacher working with them have set up a peer support scheme to provide pupils with non-staff sources of support on the playground.
Playground Buddies
A Playground Buddy will play with the other children to make sure that they have someone to play with. In addition Playground Buddies will give them advice if they are upset also they see if they have anyone else to play with.
Playground Monitors
A Playground Monitor sorts out problems like small arguments and tells the teacher if someone breaks one of the school rules. They can be approached by other children if they want to be talked to.

24/7 Could Help Wash Away Some Of The Stain Out Of Their Jockey's For A Change, And I Do Expect A Segment Here And There As A Veiled Attempt To Give A Shit, But You Know What Will Ultimately Happen. The Powers That Be Will Decide Its Not Spongeworthy.
via Kevin Drum: ....The Defence Secretary said that the US had already begun "spikes of activity" to put pressure on the regime. No decisions had been taken, but he thought the most likely timing in US minds for military action to begin was January, with the timeline beginning 30 days before the US Congressional elections.
In other words, by summer of 2002 Bush had already decided on war regardless of Saddam Hussein's actions; democracy promotion was not even mentioned in passing as a reason for the war; postwar reconstruction was an issue of no concern; and, as Andy Card tacitly admitted even at the time, the "marketing campaign" for the war was deliberately timed to coincide with midterm elections.
I wonder how much attention this newly uncovered memo will get in the American press?

To push the competition, their publisher sends in a reporter posing as an aspiring actor who has to land himself a gig in a softcore Japanese adult video. There he meets the woman of his dreams, a young Japanese starlet about to enter the AV business……

A piercing epistolary novel, The Antagonist explores, with wit and compassion, how the impressions of others shape, pervert, and flummox both our perceptions of ourselves and our very nature.
Gordon Rankin Jr., aka "Rank," thinks of himself as "King Midas in reverse"—and indeed misfortune seems to follow him at every turn. Against his will and his nature, he has long been considered—given his enormous size and strength—a goon and enforcer by his classmates,… (more)
Funny, thoughtful and vividly written, The Antagonist is one man's lonely journey to becoming the hero of his own life.
The epistolary form is difficult. The Antagonist is not one of its shining examples.

The problem with Bill Clinton`s indiscretion is not that he had it but that he LIED about it because he was being sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones for exposing himself to her when she was a state employee and he was gov. of Ark.( A trial which should have been delayed till he left office by the way). He was an attorney who committed perjury and that was why he was impeached. Lucky for Bill the Senate voted to not consider it a criminal matter.
Everyone I talk to act like this is a great tragedy and it certainly is but an important question comes to mind. Who the fuck is voting for this asshole? Blacks and Whites both seem unhappy with him when I read the paper or visit Memphis so where is he getting his support from? Certainly realtors and develops in Memphis ( and outside) are thrilled because it creates a boom in their business. It also keeps big business from expanding in Memphis we have learned that for sure. Maybe Nashville is giving money to Willies fund. All I can tell you is until the people that have fled to Mississippi and Fayette county return you are stuck with what is essentially the worst mayor in the United States. Congratulations Suckers.

We have known all along that some of you want the option to download your homeschool planners. For the past year, we have been working with international customers testing the waters on offering a digital version of our customized homeschool planners here at A Plan in Place. After all, shipping is SO high it made sense to offer them an alternative. It got us thinking about our products, and of course most of all, our plan to offer the most customized homeschool planners on the market. Offering this was the next logical step to all current and potential customers…so here we are!
Now those customers can order a digital download for $19.99 ($1 more if you want a proof) and get all the choices you want including a cover, 1 or 2 page weekly sheets including the customization, and calendars. We will create your planner, put it all together, and send it to you over e-mail. You are then free to print it yourself or take it to a local printing shop such as FedEx and have it printed.
Why you might want to download your homeschool planners:
- You prefer to use a three ring binder over the spiral binding we offer;
- You have a high quality printer, and want to save some money (especially if you want all the options);

Wilmslow, United Kingdom (PressExposure) September 23, 2009 -- Increasing popularity of Bing is inspiring search engine optimizers to change their SEO techniques. In the last quarter, Bing had grabbed 11% of the search market business. It popularity is rising in US, UK and other European countries rapidly. Now SEO specialists are applying different techniques for better search engine optimization on Bing for UK.
Bing, the result of a $275 million agreement between Microsoft and Yahoo, uses different parameters to rank websites for organic searches. One of them is the domain age of the web site. Older is better for Bing. Keeping this parameter in mind, now SEO consultants prefer to buy old domain names better search engine optimization [http://www.portalseo.co.uk/seo-overview.html] results in the UK. Bing pays more emphasis to title tags compared to Google while assigning ranks. In this regard, SEO consultants are using their best keywords in the title tags of very page.
To perform well on Google searches, the minimum text on each of web pages is around 200 words. For Bing, it is minimum 300 words. This is inspiring SEO professionals to make their website more content rich. Unlike Google, out bound links have no problem with Bing when it ranks websites. Hence, on the link building front, SEO professionals are now choosing a cocktail of both inbound and outbound links. For back links, Bingâs idea is âmore is Merrierâ. SEO consultants are now more critical regarding image optimization as it can help them in getting better ranks on Bing.
The current Scenario of search engine optimization in the UK is encouraging SEO analysts to deviate from their Google-centric efforts slightly.

Keep Momentum Going for High Speed Rail
The state Legislative Analyst's Office recently released a report on California's High Speed Rail project. Here is a statement from Angelenos Against Gridlock:
Whatever the hurdles, we do need to make sure that this project gets built, connecting San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Francisco.
The voters approved the project, and the citizens of California deserve to see this built. We can't let temporary budget constraints or potential management concerns prevent a project from being built that will serve residents for decades if not centuries.
We applaud the efforts of the Legislative Analyst's Office to analyze the hurdles the project is facing. These concerns need to be examined and dealt with as needed. This is very important. But since there are others in the public debate that continue to be critical of high speed rail, we just need to keep our eye on the prize and make sure it IS built (and built properly).

Seventeen years: Long enough for a preschool granddaughter to blossom into a college student; for good friends to move away and grow old; for a cassette tape filled with a mother's songs to wear out.
Seventeen years and counting: That's how long the loved ones of Camille Norman have waited to find out who committed the violent slaying of the 48-year-old Dallas mother, grandmother, friend and singer of contemporary Christian music.
Sunday would have been Camille's 66th birthday. The passing of another anniversary triggers a painful reminder of justice deferred for the women who knew her best — her mother, daughter, granddaughter and two close friends — and her grandson. They struggle to move on with life, even while a feral-like grief lies in wait, ready to pounce. How do they find the balance — moving forward without turning their backs on the woman they cherished?
Camille's only child, Nicki Helsley, 42, clings to the hope that her mother's killer will be found. But she also tries to focus on raising her two children, Cassie, 20, and Christian, 17.
"I can so easily get pulled back to where every thought is …" Her voice trails off. "It gets really, really hurtful to build up my hopes and hear something and then nothing comes of it."
Violent attack
On the afternoon of Jan. 31, 1996, someone entered the southeast Dallas home of Camille Norman, according to police and autopsy reports. The intruder slashed and stabbed Camille 29 times in the chest, neck and back.
A trail of blood led from the front door, through the house and into Camille's bedroom. She was also strangled and shot in the head, but not raped, according to the autopsy. The homicide remains unsolved.
A man renting a room from Camille returned home from work that evening and found her partially clothed body. Helsley said that nothing was stolen from the house that she could see.
Helsley might have been one of the last people to talk to her mother. About 11:15 a.m., her mother called; she was having car trouble. "She wanted me to follow her to the mechanic in case her car broke down," Helsley said.
She couldn't talk just then. Along with her infant boy and toddler girl, she was baby-sitting some other children that day. She promised to call Camille right back. But she got distracted.
About 45 minutes later, she called her mom, but got no answer. "I left a message," Helsley said. "And that was probably her time of death. Noon or 12:30. I assumed she had gotten someone else to take her."
Afterward, Helsley struggled with guilt for not heading over to her mom's house right away. Others told her that had she done so, she might have run into the killer and put herself and her children in danger.
"It took me a long time to forgive myself," she said. "That was probably the hardest thing I had to deal with."
Looking for a killer
Helsley devoted herself to helping find her mother's killer.
"I was very, very involved in the beginning," she said.
She insisted to police that the killer had to be someone her mother knew.
"You couldn't knock on the door and her not say, 'Who is it?' That's how careful she was." Even then, "She still wouldn't open it," Helsley said. "She'd look first."
She believed that police viewed the attack as a random crime — at least, at first. She said police later told her that they felt it was more likely personal, someone that her mother knew.
"I was scared," she said. "My mom didn't know anybody I didn't know."
The investigation dragged on unsolved. On the first and second anniversary of her mother's death, Helsley passed out fliers in Camille's Pleasant Grove neighborhood, asking for information to help solve the crime. For many years, she and her children commemorated the date by traveling to the beach in Galveston to release purple balloons — purple was Camille's favorite color — and notes from Cassie and Christian: "I love you" and "I miss you."
Helsley wrote to talk show hosts, TV crime shows and other media. She and Camille's parents, Joseph and Evelyn DeGrado, checked in with police three or four times a year.
"Sometimes, we'd get someone who would look into it a little bit," Helsley said. "But really nothing significant happened — ever."
Eventually, she said, "I had a decision to make on whether I was going to live for the case or live for my kids."
'Like sisters'
At the time of Camille's death, her closest friend was Carol Blickstein.
"We were like sisters," said Blickstein, 58, of Sacramento, Calif. The two friends worked together at different sales jobs for about 10 years, mostly at furniture stores. Camille was a natural at sales — outgoing and personable. She also had a soft spot for stray animals, adopting cats, dogs and even a bird.
"She loved her animals — and people, too," Blickstein said. "If she thought you were a stray person, she'd take you in just like a cat."
The day of her death, Camille had planned to drive to Blickstein's home in Irving. Camille and her last boyfriend had recently broken up. Blickstein, a newlywed, was undergoing treatment for cancer.
When Camille called to say she was having car trouble, Blickstein offered to pick her up. But Camille said she wanted to get the car fixed.
"I called her back around 2 p.m.," Blickstein said, "but there was no answer."
Not long after Camille's death, Blickstein's husband got a job offer in Northern California. "We left shortly after that," she said. The move offered a chance to leave painful memories behind. "I knew pretty much everyone she knew," she said.
Blickstein has remained in touch with Camille's family and friends, and the case is never far from her mind. "I've racked my brain over this for years," she said. "I can't even watch some television shows. If it's got anything to do with stabbing, I cannot watch it."
Another old friend, Oni Roberts, still struggles to comprehend what could have prompted such a brutal attack against someone so kind, caring and sweet. And how someone could have gotten away with murder in broad daylight.
Roberts, 67, first met Camille when both were undergraduates at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie. Now an interior designer in Houston, Roberts recalls Camille as a passionate woman, whose looks, personality and singing talents once caught the romantic attention of a young country singer, Larry Gatlin, in the early days of his career.
Camille was once offered a record contract. But she decided to turn it down because it would have meant too much time away from her daughter. She sang at nightclubs before moving into contemporary Christian music. At the time of her death, she was still singing in churches and at Christian conferences — but for the love of it, not as a career.
On her desk at home, Roberts keeps a file folder with notes and news clippings about the crime. It's a daily reminder that the case remains unsolved, she said. She feels a sense of urgency that Camille's killer be brought to justice, so that peace can finally come to Camille's family.
"One of the things I'd like to happen before I leave this planet is to see this resolved," Roberts said, "so that a mother and daughter and grandchildren will have closure."
Camille's parents retired to Florida about 10 years ago, after a long career as ministers. Now a widow, Evelyn DeGrado, 90, said the pain of losing her only child remains strong. For years, she "prayed and prayed" for a break in the case. She finally discerned God's answer in the biblical verse: Vengeance is mine. I will repay.
"But it doesn't really close it," she said.
No cold case unit
The Dallas Police Department currently does not have a cold case unit. Old cases like Camille's periodically get reviewed by detectives, who can put a "fresh set of eyes," on the evidence, said Maj. Jeff Cotner, a supervisor in the Crimes Against Persons Division.
During the investigation of Camille's death, police officers looked at many possible suspects.
"All those things have been done," Cotner said, declining to elaborate.
A break in a cold case can happen in various ways, Cotner said, including fresh tips or a deathbed confession. "There are things that come forward and spur interest," he said. "We do review the cases routinely. It's an ongoing process."
Cotner said he understands the frustration felt by families like Camille's.
"They want to believe the police are doing everything they can," he said. "Each one is a victim, and we respect that."
In October 2007, Nicki and her children moved to Florida to help out Camille's parents.
"I was the only relative they had left," she said. "It was getting tough for them to do everything."
Just as she was about to move, she ended up rekindling an old romance with James Helsley, whom she'd known since grade school in Dallas. They had dated briefly in their late teens, but Nicki broke it off.
"My mom told me to marry him when I was 19," she said, "but I was too rebellious."
After she moved to Florida, James visited her. And not much later, he moved there for good. They got married on Oct. 30, 2010. For just about the first time since her mother's death, Nicki said that she felt "absolutely happy."
A love lost
In the summer of 2011, James started suffering sharp stomach pains. Doctors couldn't figure out the problem, so he underwent exploratory surgery. Complications developed. There was internal bleeding. He went into intensive care.
He spent most of the next year and a half in the hospital, but his condition steadily worsened. He died two weeks ago, on Feb. 3.
For Nicki, the ordeal of the James' death feels like déjà vu, coming almost 17 years to the day after her mother's slaying.
Like Camille, James loved beaches. Cancun, Mexico, was Camille's favorite; James preferred Cozumel. Camille had been cremated, and afterward, Nicki took her mother's ashes to Cancun and sprinkled them into the ocean.
James always said he wanted to be cremated, too. He wanted his ashes sprinkled over the waters off Cozumel, only a short distance from Cancun. When she has the time and the funds, Helsley said she plans to fulfill her husband's wish.
She no longer observes the day her mother died. Instead, she tries to celebrate her mother's life on her birthday, Feb. 17. So on Sunday, she plans to release some purple balloons and listen to a little of her mother's music.
Last month, she spent a rare Sunday afternoon away from the hospital at her home near Tampa, Fla.
Cassie, a sophomore at a small Christian university in nearby Lakeland, was visiting for the day. Her brother, Christian, a high school senior, was there, too.
Cassie, who was almost 4 when Camille died, recalls singing in church with her "Meemaw." Cassie grew up listening to Camille's tapes. When Cassie and her mom argued, Cassie would storm off to her room, and calm herself by listening to her Meemaw's tapes over and over.
That Sunday afternoon, they talked about Camille's musical influence on the family. Christian recalled the day last summer when he installed a new sound system in their home. He tested it by playing one of Meemaw's tapes.
"I put the speakers everywhere around the room and set them up, and I pressed play on the tape player," he said. "We were all singing."
One of the songs was his favorite, he said.
Cassie asked which song.
"Are you thinking about 'Fire, Fire, Fire?'" Nicki asked.
"No," Christian said, looking at his mom.
"'Hold on, Little One'?"
"Oh," said Cassie. "That was a song she wrote for mom."
Over the years, the tape has become worn down and scratchy. But at that moment, to the family that had been through so much, Meemaw's songs never sounded better.
As the music floated through their home, it moved them from heartache to harmony, as they sang along with her, word for word:
Hold on, little one, hold on
He said, hold on little one, hold on
My child, hold on, be strong,
Give me praise, sing my song
Take my hand in yours and hold on.

Contact your coach if you have any queries, or head to the facebook page or download the Baseball Qld App on the App or Google Play store.
Trivia night: Saturday 11th February @ 6.30pm
This season, there is no golf day due to circumstances beyond our control, so the combined major event with Chameleon House this season, is a trivia night!

Food and drinks are available for sale on the night and the venue is licenced- so arrange a babysitter.

Get Started Vouchers
An update on some changes......
What are Get Started Vouchers?
Get Started Vouchers is an initiative to provide up to $150 to eligible children and young people, to help pay for sport or recreation club membership and/or participation fees through registered clubs.
If the child/young person or their parent/carer/guardian holds a valid Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, they can apply online as soon as the round opens. These children do not need to use the referral agent process.
Updates to the referral agent process
The department is changing the referral agent process to ensure that children and young people who can least afford the costs to participate are supported by Get Started Vouchers. To ensure that the vouchers are going to those families most in need, a new referral agent process will be implemented from Round 9.
The department now requires that eligible referral agents register with the department to be able to refer children and young people for a voucher. Further details regarding referral agent criteria and eligibility requirements are on our website, along with fact sheets for parents and referral agents. Simply Google 'Get Started Vouchers' or go to the information here www.qld.gov.au/recreation/sports/funding/getinthegame/getstarted/refer/.
If you think you may be eligble, please look into it and pay $150 off the sign on fees for next season!
Padres night at the Bandits
A huge thank you to our members who came along to cheer on the Bandits and support the game, whilst supporting our club. Just for attending, we raised about $400 in profit from the evening. It was a lot of fun watching our juniors run onto the field, enjoy some games in between Innings and be a bat boy or two!
Congratulations for being part of the biggest crowd that has attended from a club! The sea of red was visible and it was a great night enjoyed by all.
Individual Successes....
There have been many, so we will save these until Newsletter 9 to ensure we have the most up to date information.
I know there has been a selection and some U18 and U16 state players and we are immensely proud.
On behalf of the management committee- to all Padres members, family and their friends, we wish you a safe and happy festive season. May your loved ones be close and the times you share create memories to last. We will also be winding down, so please give your hard working committee, coaches and volunteers and support crew, a wide berth until early January...
Padres successful in Community Grant application- Solar panels are on the way!
Congratulations to everyone involved in this latest grant application, we will have a 10KW system installed very shortly, ensuring that we lower our environmental footprint and we in turn support the running of equipment at our venue. The committee has developed structures around long, medium and short term goals and this successful grant ensures that we are on track and meeting our strategic planning. Keep an eye out for the panels- I don't think you will miss them!

Shining the spotlight on our JDOC, Mr David West, also known as Westy, Dave or coach
Dave has been with Padres as a guiding light for many years and alongside his wife Sally and family members, has helped shape our club to be what it is today. Dave is at the field almost daily in his capacity as JDOC, Coach, player, grounds support or spectator.
Being the JDOC of Padres is a huge role that encompasses many facets and as our club has grown, becomes ever more complex with supporting and guiding many coaches of our junior players and providing additional training support and advice.
The JDOC role is aimed at our junior teams, so Westy fulfils a role of:
Imparting knowledge to and mentoring coaches from T Ball up to Under 16
Co-ordinating junior team selections from Little League up to Under 16 in liaison with junior coaches
And much more….
Thank you David for your impact each and every week on our teams, our community is richer for your voluntary engagement at Padres and it is very much appreciated.
David hosts Monday night baseball school, which is now on a break over the festive season. Returning on January the 23rd, so stay tuned for updates.
Alongside our JDOC role, we have now asked Glen Brockie to undertake a High Performance Player Development role to target development of players, ensuring smooth transitions into our senior teams and skill development of various players.
Glen has commenced his role and is targeting individuals at this stage, ensuring that our juniors transitioning into senior grades are supported and developed to maintain their skill and fitness to cope with the demands. He has also been hosting some skill development sessions, which will increase in the new year.
The HP role is aimed at player development and senior coach liaison, so Glen fulfil a role of:
Liaising with Operations and another member of the Management Committee in the selection of coaches for Under 16 to Majors inclusive
Liaising with the A Grade Coach and other senior coaches in the transition ofjunior players into senior ranks
Hosting development sessions and inviting guest coaches to develop players
Stay tuned in 2017 for further information about the HP role!
Introducing…. Danny Dunsdon
Have you seen 23??
The number is on our fence and on the back of our Club Captain – Danny.
Danny takes on the newly introduced role of Club Captain. Although just being announced, Danny has been mentoring younger players, offering advice, introducing Sam Holland to juniors and been around our grounds for many years. He is an ear to listen and an eye to watch for ways he can support players, coaches and community members.
If there is something you aren't sure about or just need to speak about the awesome world of baseball, seek out Danny and he is more than happy to mentor or guide.
Thank you for your engagement with the 16/17 Cadbury Chocolate Fundraising Drive… it was great fun to see engagement from a large proportion of players and families. We can't do it without all of your support, so thank you!
We think just 1 Under 8 team didn't manage to collect chocolates, so thank you to each team from U16 down and to various seniors that offered to support. We have 9 boxes left in the clubhouse for just $60 each, so if anyone can take them off our hands for enjoyment over Christmas… just come on down!
The canteen is open Friday night from 6 to 10 and Sunday from 7 to 11, so please drop all monies in this weekend, or drop them to your coach and they can contact us for collection.
Prize announcements to be made mid-December when all monies are collected… It is a close battle
China touring teams
Thank you to the 3 players who attended on Sunday for the trial. The low number does tell me that perhaps the tour will not proceed this year… unless; there is an influx of EOI in the next 12 hours. There is a committee meeting tonight so a decision on this will be made tonight.
From this weekend, most teams apart from most Senior teams playing one more round are on a break. Come on down this Friday night for our last A grade home game of the season and enjoy the action. Our teams are all playing at the top of their game, so come and enjoy the show.
Whilst on holidays, we hope everyone stays safe and enjoys the festivities.
Thank you for a great first of the season and we look forward to an exciting 2017.
The joint Padres and Chameleon House fundraising event is being held at our local PCYC on the 11th of February at 6.30pm. Cost is $10 per head, with a maximum of 8 players per team. Secure parking is offered on site at the Padres ground, so I am sure we can all enjoy the evening!
