Case bets on business to heal health care system Advertisement

By Julie Appleby, USA TODAY

He admits that some people think he's crazy.

But AOL co-founder Steve Case is gambling that the current buzz on how to fix the nation's health
system — more consumer choice and responsibility — is not a passing fad, but a long-term
business opportunity.

Joining him today in launching a private firm aimed at buying up promising companies that offer a
range of consumer-focused health services are several investors, including former secretary of
State Colin Powell.

Called Revolution Health Group, it is the first public business venture for Powell since he stepped
down in January. "There's no part of American life right now that is more in need of imagination
and new ideas than health care," Powell said Wednesday.

Health care currently accounts for more than 15% of the economy, with spending on medical
services rising at several times the rate of growth of both the economy and wages. Rising costs
are among the biggest challenges facing the industry, and one that employers are trying
desperately to contain.

Case's idea comes amid rising interest in so-called consumer-driven health care, a broad term
that has translated into employers passing along higher deductibles and other costs to insured
workers.

In the short term, the move cuts employer's costs. The theory is that workers who have to use
more of their own money to buy health care will shop around, seek quality and forgo unnecessary
care, which will slow growth in health spending. Critics, such as Consumers Union, say the move
won't slow spending much and might cause some people to give up needed care.

One of the gaps in the effort to promote consumerism in health care is providing patients with the
information on price and quality they need to make choices on how to spend their health care
dollars.

For example, Powell says shoppers looking for a TV can go on the Internet and "within a second
and a half, get hundreds of choices of where to buy," along with information about the TV, the
seller and any additional charges. "Why should that not apply to health care?" he asks.

Case says his company intends to buy firms that offer such data. Revolution Health Group is
partly owned by a private holding firm called Revolution that Case founded in April. Powell and

other investors own the remainder.

While he won't name the companies, Case says he has agreements to buy seven firms, which
provide a range of services.

Déjà vu

Consumers, he says, ought to be able to get health care in convenient retail locations, and have
online access to information about doctors, hospitals and medical conditions, their personal health
records and their health care finances.

"It reminds me of 20 years ago when we were starting AOL," Case says. "Half the people told
me, 'You're crazy.' But we believed that someday, people would embrace interactive services. I
look at the health care situation, and it feels like déjà vu all over again."

Although the ideas might sound simple, making them work has proved more difficult.

"A lot of people have broken their swords in this area," says David Blumenthal, director of the
Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Case, he says, is making a bet.

"He bet on AOL, and he was right," Blumenthal says. "He bet on AOL Time Warner, and he was
wrong. We'll have to see which of those two Steve Case modes he's playing with now."

Hospitals, doctors and other medical providers have long resisted efforts to gather and disclose
information about quality and price. Years of effort have gone into finding ways to get the health
care system into the computer age, but standardization still eludes the industry.

Economist Paul Ginsburg at the Center for Studying Health System Change says an organization
such as Revolution Health might have the capital to help solve some of those problems. Case, for
example, has said he will put $500 million of his own money into Revolution, the parent company.

But success for Case's company doesn't guarantee that the health system will be transformed.
"The much bigger question, is, 'Will this help society solve its health care problems?' " Ginsburg
says. "It's way too early to make a judgment."

Case says some companies in his portfolio will help reduce health spending by offering lower-cost
services or by streamlining the purchase of health insurance.

In addition to Powell, the firm's other investors include Franklin Raines, former CEO of mortgage
giant Fannie Mae, who resigned in December after federal regulators questioned accounting
methods; Jim Barksdale, former CEO of Netscape; Miles Gilburne, a venture capitalist who
worked with AOL; and Steve Wiggins, who founded Oxford Health Plans, a managed care
company in New York that was a Wall Street darling until it suffered large losses in 1998.
Wiggins stepped down in February that year.

Columbia University Medical Center Teams with

Revolution Health on Launch of Premier New Inter-
net Destination for Pregnancy, Maternal Health
LENGTH: 715 words
DATELINE: WASHINGTON April 19

WASHINGTON, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia University Medical Center

(CUMC), home to one of the top-ranked obstetrics and gynecology departments in
the country, and Revolution Health Group, a leading consumer-centric health com-
pany, today announced an agreement through which CUMC experts will contribute
timely, ongoing content to RevolutionHealth.com related to current news in ma-
ternal fetal health.
As part of the agreement, RevolutionHealth.com will feature faculty from Co-
lumbia's medical school, the College of Physicians & Surgeons, as consumer
health experts on its site. CUMC doctors and researchers will participate in
weekly blogs to answer questions from online visitors. CUMC will also provide
online access to original articles and frontline research through Revolution-
Health.com.
"This relationship with Columbia extends Revolution Health's commitment to
licensing content from the best, most trusted medical institutions in the
world," said Jeff Gruen, Chief Medical Officer of Revolution Health Group. "Ma-
ternity is one of our big focus areas, and having access to the faculty of the
Columbia ObGyn Department to work and innovate with us in advancing consumer
education is a huge step toward our goal of becoming the top-of-mind Internet
destination for maternity."
"Evolving technology and advances in care are providing women with an ever-
increasing array of options in pregnancy care," said Mary D'Alton, M.D., chair
of the Columbia department and Willard C. Rappleye Professor of Obstetrics and
Gynecology. "Expanded options require more decision-making, and we take seri-
ously our role in helping women navigate the issues and make better, more in-
formed choices. We are delighted that Revolution Health has afforded us this
broad platform."
The Columbia Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology has been in the forefront
of maternal fetal care. It led the way in establishing first trimester screen-
ing as a standard in the United States, and is one of just 14 institutions
funded by the National Institute of Child Health to study pre- term delivery.
In 2006 the ob/gyn services at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia, where Co-
lumbia faculty practice, were ranked fourth in the country according to U.S.
News and World Report ratings.
"Columbia ObGyn, under the leadership of Mary D'Alton, a nationally recog-
nized expert on maternal/fetal issues, is one of the best in the country," said
Gruen. "Physicians and academic medical centers -- especially centers of excel-
lence -- are key partners for Revolution Health. We strive to provide the very
best evidence-based, cutting edge information to help our consumers make smart,
effective decisions."

Powell to Join Storied Venture
Capital Firm
By Jonathan Krim
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, July 13, 2005; D01

After four decades of military and government service,

former secretary of state Colin L. Powell is pursuing a new
trail of business entrepreneurship.

Powell said yesterday that he is joining Kleiner Perkins

Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley's most storied
venture capital firms, to work with young executives on
leadership and help their businesses grow worldwide.

Powell, 68, will be a limited partner, remaining in the Washington area but traveling to California or
teleconferencing frequently to confer with companies that receive seed funding from the firm. Like other
venture capital groups, Kleiner Perkins plays an ongoing role in the management of companies in its stable.

In Kleiner Perkins, the retired four-star general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is joining a
33-year-old Silicon Valley institution that has backed some of the biggest names in technology, including
Amazon.com Inc., America Online Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc. and Compaq Computer Corp.

Powell said he was energized by a recent visit to the Mountain View, Calif., headquarters of search giant
Google Inc., in which Kleiner Perkins also invested.

"When I walked into the cafeteria area [to give a speech], there were about 1,000 people there," Powell said
in an interview. "And I think I increased the average age by about 15 years."

Powell said he also spoke with Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, discussing leadership,
organization and "scaling up" a global business.

"People hunger for this," said John Doerr, one of Kleiner Perkins's senior partners. "They hunger for the kind
of leadership, wisdom, confidence and inspiration that Colin Powell brings."

Powell has some roots in technology, having served on the board of America Online before its merger with
Time Warner Inc. It was in that capacity that he met Doerr, who began pursuing Powell soon after he stepped
down as secretary of state.

Powell said he was flattered by an array of new career opportunities but chose Kleiner Perkins for the chance
to work with young entrepreneurs.

Powell said he is particularly interested in health care, search, energy and networking ventures. He recently
joined a group of executives as investors and board members of Revolution Health Group, billed as a new
kind of consumer health care company founded by former America Online chief executive Steve Case.

He added that he wants his work to "have a humanitarian aspect," helping companies bring their technologies
to developing countries to help alleviate poverty.

Powell said he bought his first personal computer in 1993, after he left the Army. He said the power of

computers was especially evident during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, during which global positioning
technology played a prominent role.

Now, Powell said, he has three computers, multiple fax machines and two cell phones in his home office and
is "deeply into" online shopping.

Powell said he plans to continue his other business activities. He is active on the lecture circuit and is a
partner in one of the groups bidding to purchase the Washington Nationals baseball team.

He has no plans, he said, to run for political office.

Colin Powell Joins Venture Capital Firm
By GARY RIVLIN

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12 - Most everyone you meet in Silicon Valley, or so it sometimes seems, dreams of joining a top venture capital firm, a
job that brings prestige and the power to finance promising start-ups - and, not incidentally, typically pays in the millions of dollars.

Apparently even former secretaries of state sometimes harbor those dreams.

On Wednesday, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, perhaps Silicon Valley's most famous venture firm, will announce that former Secretary of
State Colin L. Powell is joining the firm as a part-time partner. Mr. Powell acknowledged in an interview Tuesday that he has had any number of
tempting job offers since leaving the State Department in January, but that the chance to work as a venture capitalist at Kleiner Perkins seemed
too enticing to turn down.

"I'm fascinated by what the company has done and is doing now," Mr. Powell said of Kleiner Perkins. "It's on the forefront of bringing along new
technologies and bringing along entrepreneurs who are changing the world as we know it."

That the partnership turned to someone who has cut so large a figure on the world's stage underscores the increasingly global nature of venture
investing.

Yet, the looming question is what the 68-year-old Mr. Powell, who served in the military for 35 years and rose to the rank of four-star general,
can offer a venture capital firm that specializes in the financing of biotechnology start-ups and technology companies like Google and Netscape
Communications, to name two of its more successful investments.

The answer, several Kleiner Perkins partners said, is that he will serve as a coach to its entrepreneurs and an in-house expert on international
affairs, a valuable skill when even fledgling technology companies are increasingly international, employing programmers abroad and sell into
overseas markets. Kleiner Perkins, based in Menlo Park, Calif., also anticipates more investments outside the United States.

"General Powell has a global perspective," said Ray Lane, a Kleiner Perkins partner and former president of the giant database company Oracle.
"So we think he will be very helpful in helping us figure out what we should do overseas, and how we do it, and what we should eventually invest
in."

Including Mr. Powell, Kleiner Perkins has added five new partners since the start of the year, pointing to a resurgence in venture investing, which
serves as the lifeblood for technology-oriented start-ups in Silicon Valley and elsewhere.

"The pace is really picking up in the venture industry," said John Doerr, also a Kleiner Perkins partner.

Venture capitalists typically spend most of their days listening to entrepreneurs seeking to raise millions of dollars or helping companies in which
they have already invested.

Mr. Powell, who will maintain his residence in McLean, Va., and work out of a nearby office in Alexandria, will not devote much time to either
of those activities, Mr. Doerr said. Nor will he regularly take part when partners gather for their weekly meeting, though attendance is considered
mandatory inside most firms.

Instead, Mr. Powell and his new partners said he will contribute by meeting periodically with companies that are part of the Kleiner portfolio, to
help their executives work through things like organizational issues.

"This man, I think more than any other," Mr. Doerr said, "has deep insights and offers strategic advice into leadership. And building and
developing teams. And winning even you're up against formidable opponents or challenges."

Neither Kleiner Perkins nor Mr. Powell would provide details about his financial arrangement with the firm, though it is common knowledge in
the venture capital world that Kleiner Perkins partners divide 30 percent of profits before passing on the rest to investors.

Mr. Powell will meet with his partners once every three months - and be available by phone and e-mail message when necessary - to offer advice
on prospective investments.

"They're interested in me giving them a sense of the kind of world in which we'll be doing business in the years ahead and to help them assess the
potential of various companies that have come to their attention and how they fit in this world," Mr. Powell said.

Though he has spent most of his work life in a military uniform, Mr. Powell stressed that he was "not a total rookie in this business." He served
for four years on the board of America Online, starting in the mid-1990's, he noted, and also oversaw the modernization of an outdated State
Department computer system. "I also intend to weigh in with technology advice from time to time," he said.

One thing he will not do, both Mr. Powell and his partners said, is lobby on behalf of any of the Kleiner-financed firms. But Paul S. Kedrosky, a
professor at the University of California, San Diego, who studies venture capital, said Mr. Powell's network of relationships at home and abroad is
the most plausible explanation for Kleiner's decision to enlist him.

Colin Powell Joins Venture Capital Firm - New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/13/business/13venture.html?_r=1&pag...

"There are any number of coaches who would happily sign up with Kleiner in a limited role given the payoff," Mr. Kedrosky said. "But it sure
helps if you've got a coach who can pick up a phone and get Donald Rumsfield on the line." Security is currently a hot area for venture investing,
Mr. Kedrosky noted - and one in which Kleiner Perkins "has been underinvested in relative to other large venture firms."

Mr. Powell acknowledged that money played a role in his decision to work at Kleiner, a firm that over the years has made its partners rich by
financing companies like Sun Microsystems, Amazon.com, Genentech, Compaq Computer and America Online.

"Any time you can align yourself with a company with that kind of track record, that's good," Mr. Powell said. "But I also had seven good years
out of government, where I did succeed in amassing enough of a personal estate that I'm not at the mercy of government pensions. So money
wasn't the principal motivator."

Between 1993, when he stepped down as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and 2001, when President Bush named him secretary of state,
Mr. Powell was a sought-after lecturer, routinely making tens of thousands of dollars for a speech.

Kleiner Perkins is not the only commercial venture that Mr. Powell has joined since stepping down as secretary of state. He is also an investor
and board member of Revolution, a health care holding company started by Stephen M. Case, a founder of America Online.

Mr. Powell is also part of a group trying to purchase the Washington Nationals baseball team and is involved with a number of nonprofit groups.
"The nice thing about this arrangement with Kleiner Perkins is it allows me time for these other activities," he said.

Overview and History Bio of General Colin L. Powell Advisory Council Directors and Staff Job Opportunities

General Colin L. Powell, USA (Retired)

FOUNDER, ADVISORY COUNCIL CHAIR, AND DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR

General Colin L. Powell, founder, advisory council chair, and distinguished scholar of the Colin
Powell Center for Policy Studies, was born and raised in the South Bronx. He graduated from The
City College of New York in 1958 and went on to earn an MBA from The George Washington
University, and to build a distinguished military career in Vietnam, Korea, and the United States,
including service as the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.

General Powell was the first African American and the youngest officer ever to serve as Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest ranking officer in the United States military, under both
President George H. W. Bush and President William Jefferson Clinton. In 1995, he wrote and
published his autobiography, My American Journey, and in 1997, founded America’s Promise, a
collaborative network that builds on the collective power of communities and volunteerism to assist
American youth to meet their potential. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed him
Secretary of State, a position that placed him at the head of America's foreign policy and in which
he served from 2001–2005.

Overview and History Bio of General Colin L. Powell Advisory Council Directors and Staff Job Opportunities

Center Orientation and History

OVERVIEW
The Colin Powell Center for Policy Studies at the City College of New York
(CCNY) is a nonpartisan policy research center named for one of CCNY’s
most distinguished graduates. Established in 1997, the Center combines
policy-related research and events with efforts to involve students directly in
its programs and activities. The Colin Powell Center's mission is to develop a
new generation of publicly engaged leaders from populations previously
underrepresented in policy circles and to bridge the academic and
policymaking spheres through research and programming.

STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH
Distinctive among think tanks, the Colin Powell Center is devoted to a
student-focused approach to its work. Students take an active role in all of the Center's core initiatives (see below). In particular, students
develop and lead portions of the Center's programming, research, and events. As a result, students don't merely assist, they produce
substantive work themselves.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND RELATED PROGRAMMING

The Center's scholarship programs provide unique resources to a diverse, select group of outstanding CCNY students. Through the
programs, the Center supports participating students with tuition assistance, internships, service opportunities, seminars, and events that
offer them an active role in one or more of the Center's initiatives.The students, who represent a wide range of majors, develop both their
leadership potential and public policy expertise. Read more

CORE RESEARCH INITIATIVES

The Center's research activities are directed toward questions of current practical relevance and to ensuring that the real-world concerns
of policymakers and practitioners inform the Center's research goals. The research activities are focused on three levels: locally in
CCNY's Harlem community, nationally with regard to domestic policymaking, and internationally with regard to foreign policy-making
processes and institutions. Initiative programs are selected toengage analysts and practitioners along with CCNY students and the
campus community on matters of pressing policy concern. Read more

SERVICE LEARNING AND INNOVATION

Through its service-learning programs, the Colin Powell Center also supports educational innovation on the part of CCNY faculty. Service
learning is a research-supported educational approach that encourages a synergy between classroom and community-based learning.
Faculty trained in service-learning methodology incorporate community service into a course design as an essential part of the curriculum.
Targeted service placements enable students to apply classroom lessons in practical settings. Simultaneously, the students' experiences
in community-based service projects augment and enrich the classroom discussion. Read more

Our History
The America’s Promise Alliance
grew out of the Presidents’ Summit
for America’s Future in 1997. At
that gathering in Philadelphia,
Presidents Clinton, Bush, Carter
and Ford (with Nancy Reagan
representing President Reagan),
challenged America to make
children and youth a national
priority.
The Summit - which was also
attended by nearly 30 governors,
100 mayors, 145 community
delegations, and prominent
business leaders - was sponsored by the Points of Light Foundation, the Corporation for National and
Community Service and United Way of America. These organizations were among the Founding Partners
of the America’s Promise Alliance. Retired General Colin L. Powell became the Alliance’s Founding
Chairman. Today, Alma Powell serves as Chair of the Alliance.
Since 1997, the America’s Promise Alliance has grown to become the nation’s largest multi-sector
Alliance focused on the well-being of young people. Today, the Alliance encompasses more than 105
partner organizations representing the business community, nonprofits, communities and policymakers.
When Hurricane Katrina displaced millions from their homes in 2005, the Alliance launched Katrina’s
Kids — an initiative that united local public and nonprofit sectors along with elected officials to ensure
disadvantaged young people displaced by natural disasters receive the resources they need including
the Five Promises.

Initiatives
In 2006, the Alliance launched First Focus, a bipartisan advocacy organization committed to making
Get Involved children and their families a priority.

Resources Read the original Summit Declaration signed by the living presidents.

Partners In 2007, the Alliance celebrated its 10th Annivesary, including an event attended by Presidents Bush
and Clinton. To learn more about how that milestone was recognized, please visit the 10th Anniversary

Urban Ventures Partners With General Colin Powell

and America's Promise(TM) To Build Youth
Leadership Center;
Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center Will Expand
Opportunities for At-Risk Kids
SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS

LENGTH: 622 words

DATELINE: MINNEAPOLIS, June 13

Urban Ventures Leadership Foundation, together with Retired General Colin L.

Powell, shared their vision for the Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center in
South Minneapolis during a kickoff ceremony at Kix Soccer Field.
(PHOTO: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000613/MNTU030 )
Furthering the vision of America's Promise, the center will provide at-risk
youth and adults a safe and structured place to develop leadership skills and
other tools to help them succeed. It will be located north of Lake Street
between Clinton and Fourth avenues and will serve the south central
neighborhoods of Minneapolis. Led by General Powell, America's Promise - The
Alliance for Youth, is building the character and strengthening the competence
of youth by mobilizing the nation to fulfill Five Promises for young people:

1. Ongoing relationships with caring adults

2. Safe places with structured activities during nonschool hours
3. Healthy start and future
4. Marketable skills through effective education
5. Opportunities to give back through community service

"I am proud of Urban Ventures and all of its partners for establishing a
safe place that young people can participate in structured activities during
nonschool hours to gain leadership skills," said General Powell. "I am honored
to play a part in this essential community initiative."
Plans for the center include five recreational and educational areas such as
four full-length basketball courts, fitness center, state-of-the-art computer
center, multi-use arts facility and space for ongoing education and
job-preparation services. Completion of the center is pending strong corporate,
political and individual support to raise the $16 million needed for the
project.
"Creating a top-notch facility in the Phillips and Central neighborhoods is
proof of the rebirth of South Minneapolis," said Art Erickson, president of
Urban Ventures Leadership Foundation. "It will give kids, their parents and the
community at large something to be excited about and proud of for years to

come. We want that pride to spread throughout our neighborhoods as we continue

to prove how we can affect positive change in this area."
A key partnership Urban Ventures hopes to forge through this project is
between the corporate community and faith-based community. "In order to have a
successful community, there needs to be both social and spiritual capital," said
Erickson. "Working together, these entities can bring endless opportunities to
at-risk young people. Building this center is a great place to start."
Urban Ventures Leadership Foundation is a nonprofit, faith-based community
development corporation serving the Phillips, Central, Bryant, Lyndale,
Powderhorn and Whittier neighborhoods. Its mission is to build a successful
community within the city by developing youth leadership, strengthening families
and creating meaningful work opportunities.
General Colin L. Powell was a professional soldier for 35 years and served
as the twelfth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989-1993. Since
1997, he has served as chairman of America's Promise - The Alliance for Youth.
America's Promise is an Alliance of nearly 1,000 communities and national
organizations and not-for-profits. The movement is mobilizing all sectors of
American life to build the character and strengthen the competence of the
nation's youth.

Colin Powell opens Southside youth
center bearing his name
Print this page Reprint rights
By Vickie Evans-Nash , Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
October 13, 2007

Former secretary of state praised the strength of U.S. diversity

Former U.S. Secretary of State and retired general Colin Powell and his wife Alma
Powell joined over 300 people October 4 in South Minneapolis for the grand opening
ceremony of the Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center. The 160,000-square-foot facility
will be home to seven youth organizations offering a wide range of programs serving
children from grades one through 12.

It is one of many facilities across the country bearing Powell’s name, but he remains
honored by each gesture. “I am more than happy to have a school named after me,” he
said. “I’ve received lots of awards and medals in the course of my career. But what could
be a better award — a better recognition — than to have your name on a school where
young people will be educated and get ready to be leaders in the future?”

The Minneapolis facility is in part a result of Powell’s contact with Art Erickson,
president and CEO of Urban Ventures Leadership Foundation, who approached Powell
10 years ago with the idea for the school. Initially Powell thought the idea was a great
undertaking.

“This is a pretty significant project,” Powell said, “…but [Erickson’s] passion was so
great, so intense, that I said, ‘I’m going to go with this guy.’ [This project] was done by
Art. It was done by the adults in this community — the people in the community who
believe in their children.”

During the interview preceding the ceremony, MSR thought we might learn something of
Powell’s thoughts on the upcoming election or his current views on the war in Iraq. But
the general specifically requested a conversation focused on youth and education.

Considering the state of affairs for African American children in the educational system,
Powell believes that the Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center has a very important role
to play in addressing educational disparities. “There is a particular problem in segments
of the African American community…either as a result of education patterns, housing
problems [or] poverty problems,” he said. “The reality is that 50 percent of our young
African American boys are not graduating high school.”

What does Powell believe is the root of the problem? “The problem the African
American community has is [that] there [are] still so many youngsters who are not in the
proper nurturing environment. They are not in families that are cohesive, that are giving
them what they need.”

Powell explained that, in an effort to address these unmet needs, he and his wife became
involved in America’s Promise, an organization whose board Alma Powell also chairs.
America’s Promise describes itself as “the nation’s largest multi-sector collaborative
dedicated to the well-being of children and youth.”

Through organizations like America’s Promise, Powell says, “We are reaching out to the
communities around America and asking them, ‘Look: Look at your children — they
need mentors. They need safe places. They need a healthy start in life.’ We need to give
these youngsters the education they need to be successful, and we also need to persuade
them [that] they have to give back to others as they grow up.”

The MSR asked Powell how the very significant drop-out rate will affect the future of
African Americans in leadership roles, especially since such great strides by Powell and
others like him have been made in high-ranking political positions over the past decade.

“If they don’t graduate high school, then they are not heading for the kind of success that
you’re talking about,” he replied. “And that’s the problem that we’ve got to go after and
got to crack. It’s not just their schools — it is the family environment, the community
environment, the political involvement, and it’s having more facilities like the one we are
dedicating here today.”

Although our current educational system presents specific challenges to African

American students, Powell doesn’t see the situation as bleak. “There are many young
African American children coming along who are doing just fine, that are in great
families. They are getting a good education.

“I’m an honorary trustee of Howard University,” he said. “…The students up at Howard

University, a Historically Black College, [are] terrific… They’re going to be leaders. And
I’ve watched in the course of my adult life, going from African Americans nowhere to
African Americans just about everywhere.”

The website for the Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center states as one of their
missions: “The school [Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, one of the organizations included
in the Center] will serve low-income families of any faith or culture who desire a
religiously supportive, Christian value-centered, education for their children.”

Does Powell feel the “Christian value-centered education” will pose an obstacle for
Minneapolis’ growing, religiously diverse immigrant population? “The beauty of this
community is that diversity can become a strength,” he said.

“I was raised in a very diverse community in New York City… There were no majorities
in my neighborhood. You were either Black, Puerto Rican, West Indian, Eastern
European, or something else. But we were taught in our public school system that you’re
all Americans. Come together, get along, and each of you can achieve your dreams and
ambitions as long as you’re willing to work for it — study for it.”

Powell said that this message, which he believes resounds so uniquely in the U.S., is the
message necessary for immigrant youth in Minneapolis. “America is an immigrant
country — my parents were immigrants to this country — and it is so important for us to
appreciate that strength in our society: how we can take all of these folks — no matter
where they came from — and within in a few years they’re Americans and their kids are
playing baseball, and their kids are listening to rock music and hip hop.

“They’re Americans. They never forget where they came from — where their parents
came from — but they’re now Americans, and that’s our great strength. Very few
countries can integrate that diversity like America can.”

Updated: 10/4/2007 10:46:12 AM

On October 4th, the city of Minneapolis will welcome a facility that will be a key in the revitalization of two of
the city?s most impoverished neighborhoods. Urban Ventures will officially mark the grand opening of the Colin
Powell Youth Leadership Center, a physical manifestation of hope for the city?s future.

The Center will serve at least 25,000 youth annually through seven different educational, career and character-
building programs. In addition to seven collaborative partners working with Urban Ventures, the new 160,000
square-foot facility will house Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. Together, these partnerships bring a solution to the
deterioration in the Phillips and Central neighborhoods.

General Colin Powell will join local community leaders Thursday to officially introduce and welcome this
world-class facility to Minneapolis.

Your tutorial of fall semester's events

BYLINE: BY LANITA WITHERS Staff Writer

SECTION: TRIAD; Pg. B5; LANITA WITHERS Campus Notebook

LENGTH: 786 words

Exam time is here, and in the spirit of reviewing everything we've learned,
the Campus Notebook staff has put together a study guide (in no particular
order) on the 2005 fall semester.

- Headed to the Hill: Greensboro native Erskine Bowles has already served on
Capitol Hill. Starting Jan. 1, he'll begin his tenure in Chapel Hill as the new
president of the 16-campus UNC system.

- Here today, here tomorrow: Guilford College President Kent Chabotar signed
a contract extension that will keep him at the private college through 2010.

- Belles of the ball: Bennett College hosted a sold-out gala featuring two
guests you may have heard of: former President Bill Clinton and former U.S.
Senator Bob Dole.

- Hot, hot, hot: Several area schools were ranked in national publications,
for everything from being socially conscious to student engagement to being a
best value.

In the "America's Hottest Colleges" edition of Newsweek magazine, Guilford

College was touted as the hottest college for social consciousness, and Elon
University noted for being the hottest for student engagement. The Princeton
Review named UNCG a "best value."

- Hot? Um, not: That's all we have to say about Appalachian State
University's video to introduce their new chancellor to alumni. Miss it the
first time around? Surf over to www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2679633 or go to
www.ifilm.com and search for "Appalachian" to check it out.

- It's cold and I need a hot drink: Then plunk your dollars down on the
counter at Guilford College's Greenleaf coffeehouse in Mary Hobbs Hall on
campus. The cooperative shop, which only serves fair trade coffees and teas,
continues Guilford's long co-op history.

- Rockin' with the chancellor: Dignified administrator + ear-pounding rock

music = UNCG Chancellor Pat Sullivan's hip promo for campus radio station WUAG
(103.1 FM). You got cool points for that one, Chancellor.

- New digs: N.C. A&T fully opened Aggie Village this fall, a close to $32
million residence hall complex. Guilford College christened a new set of student
apartments and a community center.

- A welcome addition: GTCC celebrated the grand opening of the new East
Wendover campus.

- Going up, up, up: How many buildings are being constructed at local
institutions? Just to name a few, High Point University broke ground on the
Jerry and Kitty Steele Sports Center, and Blessings Residence Hall is going up.
UNCG is building a residence hall and work continues on the new humanities and
research administration building. A&T has just about completed its new
Alumni-Foundation Event Center.

- Take a right at Renick: A&T bestowed a high honor on its chancellor, James
C. Renick, when they named their new education building after him. Ground was
broken this fall and construction on the building begins in the spring.

- In the money: High Point University raised $47 million of a $100 million
goal to rebuild the campus. A part of that total is a gift from Plato S. Wilson
and his family. The undisclosed gift was the largest single gift in the
university's 81-year history.

- A beautiful (legal) mind: Elon University continued plans for the fall 2006
launch of its law school. The school also played a role in luring the American
Judicature Society to locate a law center in downtown Greensboro.

- A good neighbor: Greensboro College hosted a City Council candidates debate

before this fall's municipal election.

- A new neighbor: Wake Forest University held the inauguration of its 13th
president, Nathan O. Hatch, this October.

- And, a look ahead: Announced in the old year, these A-list speakers are
coming to local campuses in the new. Mark your calendars:

- Activist and author Angela Davis will speak at UNCG as part of the
university's Martin Luther King Jr. Day events at 7 p.m. Jan. 17 in Aycock
Auditorium.

- Ben Bradlee, the executive editor of The Washington Post during the
Watergate era, will give a public lecture Feb. 27 at Elon University.

- Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell will speak at Elon University's
Spring Convocation for Honors on April 4.

- A&T will host New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman on April 5 as part
of a public discussion on Friedman's book "The World Is Flat: A Brief History of
the Twenty-first Century."

Class dismissed. Have a great break.

The holiday hibernation at the local colleges and universities is about to

begin -- the perfect time for the Campus Notebook staff to take a vacation. The
column will return Jan. 12. If you have items for our New Year's return, contact

individual and as a nation? Photo by Patrick O'Leary

For Powell to speak on leadership was a natural. He

moved from second lieutenant after graduating from City College of New York to
four-star general to chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Secretary of State. His
leadership, said Humphrey Institute dean J. Brian Atwood in the introduction, is of
the "integrative" kind. Powell not only provided on-the-ground leadership for his
troops, but moral, international and now community leadership in his work with
the Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center in the Phillips and Central Minneapolis
neighborhoods.

"You can do all the interrogating you want inside the Geneva
Convention," Powell told the audience. "Are we a nation of
laws and international conventions or are we not? We don't
want the world to say, 'If you can cut corners, we can cut
corners.'"

"Leadership is leadership is leadership," said Powell, dashing any mystique.

"You're only there because of your followers. As a leader, you need a mission, you
need inspiration and you need to take care of the people who follow you. You set
them on a path to accomplish things, and they get the work done."

Powell told stories of meetings with, among others, former Prime Minister of Japan
Junichiro Koizumi and Mikhail Gorbachev. Great leaders, like these two men,
"must face reality and not turn away," said Powell.

Eventually, he spoke of America and what will set it apart in history as a

leader--or not.

"Iraq is the most defining moment of our time," he said. Leadership from both the
administration and the Iraq government is what is needed to turn the tide in Iraq.
It is when your followers trust you, Powell believes, that you can truly become a
leader.

Before his talk, Powell had met for an hour of candid and challenging discussion
with Humphrey Institute graduate students chosen though a lottery. They
provided written questions for Powell to answer after his lecture. One asked,
"What can the United States do to restore the world's faith and trust in us?"

To answer, Powell turned to the most recent challenge to America's moral

leadership in the world--the debate on how to treat terrorism suspects. He
referred to the letter, mentioned earlier in the talk, that he wrote to Senator John

McCain on Sept. 13 urging him not to redefine Common Article 3 of the Geneva
Convention. "You can do all the interrogating you want inside the Geneva
Convention," Powell told the audience. "Are we a nation of laws and international
conventions or are we not? We don't want the world to say, 'If you can cut
corners, we can cut corners.'"

As for the United States maintaining a world leadership based on trust, Powell
said, "I think our reputation is recoverable--if we can show we're a nation of laws,
if we can resolve Guantanamo and if we can just keep talking of the goodness that
still exists [in our country.] We still have a reservoir of understanding and trust."

Another question asked whether misstatements leading to war are ever justified.
Clearly, Powell acknowledged, this referred to his Feb. 5, 2003, speech to the
United Nations about Iraq's cache of weapons of mass destruction.

"I sat in a room with 40-50 people in the intelligence services for four days," said
Powell. "Any information that didn't have multiple sources, I tossed aside. What
we chose was the best information we had. But we were dead wrong in light of the
stockpiles [of WMD]. All of us believed they were there, but Iraq didn't have
them. I went forward [into that speech] believing we were right. It is never proper
for anyone in power do anything other than put forward the facts."

Powell ended his speech with a look at where U.S. foreign policy has gone well in
the past six years, like expanding NATO, quadrupling assistance to Africa and
getting Charles Taylor out of Liberia.

"As you watch problems unfold, don't overlook successes," he told the audience.
"We lead a world that wants to be free. Have faith in this great country of ours."

Curtis Carlson founded the Distinguished Carlson Lecture Series to honor Hubert
H. Humphrey and his dedication to innovative, creative and humane public service
and to an educated citizenry. Powell was in good company--former lecturers
include Bill Clinton, Elie Wiesel, Rigoberta Menchu and His Holiness the 14th Dalai
Lama, and true to the University's commitment to nonpartisanship, have ranged
politically from George Bush and William F. Buckley, Jr., to Walter Mondale and
Geraldine Ferraro.

Gen. Powell to cap series of speakers

Indian Wells

Former secretary of state likely to address Iraq issues on April 13

The Desert Sun

With America's Iraq policy at a crossroads, a speaker in the 2007 Desert Town
Hall-Indian Wells lecture series is expected to bring nearly unparalleled
insights about the situation. Gen. Colin Powell's appearance on April 13 will
conclude the series.

Ed Monarch, mayor of Indian Wells and president of the series board of

directors, said the timing couldn't be better.

With the United States re-examining its strategy in the Iraq war and a
bipartisan commission releasing its recommendations Wednesday, Powell, former
secretary of state in the Bush administration and former chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, will most assuredly have insights to share, Monarch said.

Powell recently made news when he said the conflict in Iraq has disintegrated
into civil war.

"I think we all interpreted Colin Powell as one of the more objective members
of the Bush administration," Monarch said.

"I think he will be very vocal, very direct and possibly critical of some of
the current administration policies."

This is the 15th season for the series, held again this year in the Emerald
Ballroom of the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Indian Wells.

A few series tickets remain, and tickets to individual lectures will go on

sale later in December.

"I'm very excited about the series," Monarch said. "I think it's going to be
wildly received. We've sold out for so many years - that's the best tribute you
can have."

2007 DESERT TOWN HALL SERIES SPEAKERS

Each lecture starts at 6 p.m.

The speakers, and comments about them by Indian Wells Mayor and lecture
series board president Ed Monarch:

Carly Fiorina: Monday, Feb. 12

The former CEO of HP, Fiorina is the author of "Tough Choices, A Memoir."

Monarch: "It's very topical with what happened after she left HP, the
Patricia Dunn case, the eavesdropping and wiretapping. (Fiorina) is going to
give us a great slant on what corporate America looks like today."

Tom Friedman: Wednesday, Feb. 28.

New York Times columnist, author and reporter. The three-time Pulitzer
Prize-winner's twice-weekly foreign affairs column is syndicated to 700 other
newspapers worldwide.

Monarch: "I'm a great fan of Tom Friedman's. I think he really came into his
own with his last book, 'The World is Flat.' It's sort of a treatise on how the
United States needs to see the rest of the world."

Malcolm Gladwell: Thursday, March 29

Author of No. 1 best-selling books "Blink" and "The Tipping Point"; named one
of the 100 Most Influential People by Time Magazine in 2005.

Monarch: "I think he's going to bring a perspective we're not used to hearing
at the Town Hall series, something between pragmatism and futurism. I think he's
just brilliant."

Gen. Colin L. Powell: Friday, April 13.

Former secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

SECTION: NEIGHBOR; Pg. 1

LENGTH: 3962 words

Imagine you are asked to draw a single face to represent 2006 in Naperville,
Lisle and Aurora.

Well, you say, it should reflect the incredible kindness of those who help
neighbors in need, who put themselves on the line for others, who are willing to
make unfathomable sacrifices to benefit us all.

Still, be careful how strong you carve those lines, you say, because the same
face also must show the greed of some and the evil of others.

There should be a sense of joy and accomplishment around the eyes, of course,
but they should show sadness and pain, too.

Should the mouth be curved in a smile for those who have won success and
acceptance?

In a frown for those who have come under fire and sometimes tilted at
windmills?

And what of the forehead? Wrinkled with age and worry? Smooth with the
promise of youth and hope?

Imagine you are asked to draw a single face to represent 2006 in our towns.
It can't be done, you say.

For all of our similarities, it is often our differences that define us. Here
then, are some of our Faces of 2006.

Bradley Beste

The Army sergeant became the fifth Naperville resident to be killed in Iraq
when an explosive went off near his Humvee during combat operations Aug. 4 in
Ramadi. A graduate of Neuqua Valley High School, he was assigned to the 1st
Armored Division based in Friedberg, Germany.

Sean Cardelli

The 2004 Lisle High School graduate and Downers Grove resident was killed by
hostile fire in early February while serving with the Marines in Fallujah, Iraq.
 Page 2
Top Newsmakers of 2006 Chicago Daily Herald December 29, 2006 Friday

He had been a starter on the Lisle wrestling team.

Edwardo Lopez Jr.

The Aurora Marine was killed in combat in Iraq during a particularly bloody
period in October. The young sniper was on the front lines when he was shot in
the chest, his family said.

George Obourn Jr.

The Army specialist from Peoria, whose parents have lived in Naperville for
three years, was killed in action in Iraq in early October, apparently while
going through a building that military leaders thought was vacant.

Myron Wentz

The 1963 graduate of North Central College donated nearly $10 million that
was key in convincing the school to build a concert hall and fine arts center on
its downtown Naperville campus. The $26.5 million center will open in 2008 at
Ellsworth Street and Chicago Avenue.

Barbara Heller

The honeymoon has ended for the Naperville Park District executive director
who found her agency coming under increasing fire as the year ended over plans
to build a $35 million recreation center in Frontier Park. Opponents say the
park district has not sufficiently built its case.

Chris Bockrath

The 14-year-old Naperville boy was feted by the fire department in January
after rescuing a friend who fell through the ice while pursuing a soccer ball on
a not-very-frozen pond. "I was kind of hoping that because everyone was safe I
wouldn't get grounded," he said.

Kendra Davis

The Naperville woman and wife of NBA player Antonio Davis found herself in
the news for two separate incidents early in the year. In January, she was
involved in a much-publicized verbal confrontation with another fan during a
game between the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks at the United Center. The day
after that incident became news, a Monooka woman filed a complaint against her
for an October 2005 incident in which she alleged Davis threw coffee on her.

Jim Caulfield

The Naperville Unit District 203 school board member made waves throughout
the year. His argument for returning foreign language instruction to elementary
schools met with support, but the school board soundly rejected his plea for a
one-year "tax holiday."

Susan Donahue and Carolyn Berkheiser

The two Naperville women are co-founders of a group called Ambassadors of

Kindness Naperville. The group's roughly 40 members work individually and
together to perform random acts of kindness, from delivering goodies to hospital
workers and firefighters to praising school board members for their hard work.

Richard Furstenau

The Naperville city councilman found himself at the center of a controversy

in January when police were investigating whether he came in physical contact
with a police officer during a dispute before the city's anniversary parade.
Furstenau, who ran unsuccessfully for state Senate, denied any wrongdoing. The
case is still pending.

Joy Maguire-Dooley

She directed her last youth version of "The Nutcracker" for Lisle Park
District in early December after announcing she was stepping down from the
volunteer post after 28 years.

Evan Lysacek

The Neuqua Valley High School graduate finished second in the U.S. Figure
Skating Championships in January and won a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in
Turin, Italy. A tumble during his short program robbed him of any chance for an
Olympic medal, but he bounced back with a brilliant long program.

Gary Schiefer and Dan Garvy

Schiefer announced his retirement plans in February after slightly more than
two years as director of Lisle Park District. He was replaced by Assistant
Director Dan Garvy, who joined the district in 1987 as a seasonal employee and
had been groomed to assume the district's top spot.

Howard Crouse

The Indian Prairie Unit District 204 superintendent was one of the
masterminds behind the district's successful referendum request push to raise
taxes by $124.7 million to build a third high school near Route 59 and 75th
Street in Aurora. Just a few weeks later, he announced plans to step down at the
end of the 2006-07 school year.

Angie Lindner

Aidan Lindner

Danny Lindner

Angie Lindner and her two sons, 1-year-old Aidan and 3-year-old Danny, were
killed Aug. 1 when their van was struck from behind by a semitrailer truck along
the Indiana Toll Road. The family had moved to Naperville shortly before last
Christmas and already had made their mark on the High Meadows neighborhood.
Lindner's mother, Dorothy Meller, 64, of Ohio, also died in the crash.

Kay Allard and Debbie Ryndak

Ryndak, a Wheaton woman who survived a brush with cancer surgery 26 years
ago, always felt she was spared for a purpose. That purpose became clear when a
co-worker, Allard of Naperville, needed a donated kidney. In February, Ryndak's
left kidney was transplanted into Allard at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in
Chicago.

The past president of the Naperville Exchange Club took over in early January
as the first part-time administrator of the Riverwalk Commission. Her job is to
serve as a liaison between the Riverwalk and other groups and to handle
day-to-day duties.

John Wu

The Naperville fire chief was arrested in November after allegedly striking
his son in the stomach during a dispute. He subsequently was relieved of his
duties until the city could conduct its own investigation and returned to work
in December. The case is still pending.

Casey Verkamp

The Naperville North senior kept advancing through the 69th Annual National
High School Oratorical Contest until she captured first-place honors at the
state level in March. In April, she represented Illinois in the national
competition in Indianapolis.

Erica Carter

The Naperville Central basketball player stepped out of Candace Parker's

shadow to star for the Redhawks and be named the honorary captain of our
All-Area Girls Basketball Team. "Clearly in the 18 years I've been here, she's
the second-best player we've ever had," Redhawks coach Andy Nussbaum said. "I
don't think it's even close." Harold Moser

The longtime Naperville developer, who died in 2001, was back in the news in
March when the Daily Herald declared him the most influential person in
Naperville's 175-year history. The designation came as the culmination of a
series on the 25 most influential residents as identified by a panel of
Naperville experts.

George Pradel, Mary Ellingson and Doug Krause

If Naperville's mayor was hoping for an easy path to re-election this coming
spring, he got quite a jolt when two longtime city council members, Mary
Ellingson and Doug Krause, both filed to run against him. Their entry into the
campaign guarantees a February primary to winnow the field to two before April's
general election.

Alicia McCareins

The Naperville woman was one of 32 women featured in a Campbell's Soup book
called "Moms Know Best." Containing equal parts recipes and inspirations, the
book featured the moms of 32 NFL players. McCareins' son, Justin, is a
Naperville North grad and wide receiver for the New York Jets.

Sean Payton

The Naperville Central High School graduate was named head coach of the New
Orleans Saints in January. It was his first head- coaching job after working as
an assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys. The Saints finished 3-13 in 2005, but
their unexpected success reaching the playoffs this year led Sports Illustrated
to name him its NFL coach of the year.
 Page 5
Top Newsmakers of 2006 Chicago Daily Herald December 29, 2006 Friday

Kate DiCamillo

The acclaimed children's author came to Naperville in February during the

first phase of the city's annual Naperville Reads campaign. DiCamillo made
several appearances to discuss her books, including the most recent "The
Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane."

Dave Sinker

The Naperville man opened the Comedy Shrine improvisational club in January
in the downtown space formally occupied by Crossroads Theatre. The club was
designed to focus on fast-paced, short-form improvisational theater.

Michael Fuller

Aurora Police Department's second-in-command retired in March after 29 years

as deputy chief. Fuller said he wanted to spend more time with his family.

Robert Krzyzanowski

Just call him your typical 15-year-old Naperville kid who already happens to
be a senior at North Central College and who's majoring in math, physics and
computer science. Oh, yes, he also was named the youngest winner of the state's
Lincoln Laureate Awards.

Candace Parker

The Naperville Central grad became the first woman to dunk in a NCAA
Tournament game on March 19 while helping lead Tennessee to a 102-54 victory
over Army. She then became the first woman in college history to dunk twice in
the same game when she repeated the feat.

Fran Bolson

The CEO of the Lisle Convention and Visitors Bureau stepped down in late
March to assume the helm of the Greater Woodfield Convention and Visitors
Bureau. Her stint in Lisle netted the village the 2007 USA Youth Outdoor Track &
Field Championships and an increase in convention and hotel business.

Curt Bradshaw

The newest Indian Prairie Unit District 204 school board member cast the
deciding vote in early February to approve new high school boundaries. His vote
sent students from his own Brookdale neighborhood to Waubonsie Valley, something
most of his neighbors opposed.

Jodi Wirt and Lenore Johnson

Johnson stepped down at the end of June as Naperville Unit District 203's
associate superintendent of instruction. She was replaced by Jodi Wirt, who was
tabbed for the post by administrators after serving as assistant superintendent
for curriculum and staff development.

Jodi Picoult

The best-selling author came to Naperville in March to meet with hundreds of

fans as part of the citywide Naperville Reads campaign. Her appearance raised
 Page 6
Top Newsmakers of 2006 Chicago Daily Herald December 29, 2006 Friday

money for a group that assists the siblings of young cancer victims.

Adrian Missbrenner

The Burr Ridge man was acquitted in March on charges he raped a former
Naperville girl in December 2002, during a drunken teen party. The incident was
caught on videotape and a Cook County jury found in favor of Missbrenner. He was
the second of three men brought up on rape charges in connection with the
incident and the acquittal sparked a firestorm among victims rights advocates.

Melissa Kosar

The 23-year-old Benedictine University graduate premiered her first film,

"Perilous Ties," in April at the AMC Yorktown 17 theater in Lombard. It was an
action flick that featured, at various times, Lisle police and area stores.

Ron Ory

The Naperville Park District commissioner began to rattle some cages when he
openly questioned plans to build a $35 million recreation center in Frontier
Park in south Naperville. Ory questioned whether the district had built enough
community support for the project and whether it had the wherewithal to actually
build it - and others began to agree with him by the end of the year.

Liz Young

The Naperville Central High School water polo team member spearheaded a drive
among Redhawks athletes to hand-assemble 200 blankets and present them to
patients at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

Randy Visor

Convicted in 1998 in connection with a 1997 drunken driving crash that killed
four people - including three Waubonsie Valley High School juniors - Visor was
ordered never to drive again. But in March, he was nabbed by a Batavia patrolman
and charged with driving with a revoked license and without insurance.

Matt Moran and Mironda Heston

Moran, a graduate of North Central College, walked 100 miles in April in

memory of his friend and former classmate, Mironda Heston, who died of a disease
she contracted while helping women and children in Haiti. Moran raised money to
help fund a service scholarship in her name.

Lynn Rule

Rule, a first-grade teacher at Ranch View Elementary, was named Naperville

Unit District 203's Teacher of the Year for her passion for literacy and
learning. In August, she also was nominated by the state board of education as
one of Illinois' 10 best teachers.

Curt Gaskins

The 61-year-old Naperville stockbroker died in April trying to save one of

his grandchildren from a Pacific Ocean riptide. The girl was saved by her
13-year-old brother, but Gaskins perished in the rescue effort.

Mary DeScenza

Naperville native Mary DeScenza won the Honda Award in early April as the
nation's top female collegiate swimmer. A member of the University of Georgia
swim team, she won several races at the NCAA Championships and earned seven
All-American citations.

Rick Tarulis

The Naperville homeowner and his wife, Nancy, always have been big fans of
holiday lights, but this year they installed their stuff way early so they could
be featured on the HGTV show, "What's With That House?"

Alka Tyle

Educated on three continents and an active volunteer in the schools, she

outdistanced 31 other applicants to be appointed to the Indian Prairie Unit
District 204 school board in May. She attracted the district's attention with
her work on high school boundaries earlier in the year.

Patrick Collins

The assistant U.S. attorney grew up in Lisle with a strong streak of

independence. It served Collins well as the lead prosecutor in the trial of
former governor George Ryan, who was found guilty of all 18 counts in a federal
trial that involved fraud, racketeering and more.

Julie Andrews

The halls were alive with the sound of music when the actress and children's
book author returned to Naperville for an appearance at Naperville North High
School. She was promoting her latest work, "The Great American Mousical."

Senobio Nila

The Aurora man celebrated his 105th birthday in May. He came to Aurora in the
1920s from Mexico as a railroad worker and played a key role in transforming the
city's ethnic landscape.

Shaun'ta Whitehead

The student spent the first three years of her college career at Dillard
University in New Orleans. But when Hurricane Katrina wreaked its havoc, she
moved back home to the Chicago area and - with the help of her aunt, Tanya
Whitehead - graduated from Aurora University with a degree in biology.

Diane Ladley

The Aurora woman gained some local fame for her storytelling abilities and
her ghost tours in Naperville. But in October, she became more infamous when
some residents began complaining she had included the Marilyn Lemak house on her
ghost tours. She eventually dropped the house from her outings.

Shane Gericke

The former newspaper reporter and editor published his first book, "Blown
Away," which focused on a serial killer stalking the streets of Naperville.
 Page 8
Top Newsmakers of 2006 Chicago Daily Herald December 29, 2006 Friday

Gericke is a longtime Naperville resident who says he's fascinated by the

classic battle of good vs. evil.

Marcelite and Lucinda Bucheit

Marcelite, 5, and Lucinda, 3, became media darlings in June when their

lemonade stand - which had raised $45 in three days - apparently was snatched
from the garage behind an apartment complex. A Naperville police officer, Matt
Fletcher, saw the news accounts and after scouring the neighborhood, discovered
the stand dumped in some bushes about a block away.

Allen Albus

The longtime head of finance for Naperville Unit District 203 - who became a
central figure in the debate over the amount of money raised in a 2002
referendum proposal - resigned in June to accept a similar post in Lake Forest.

Colin Powell

The former secretary of state spoke to about 2,000 people in May at

Benedictine University as part of the Lisle school's Great Issues-Great Ideas
lecture series. He largely avoided current controversies and instead devoted his
90-minute speech to issues of diplomacy, trust and values.

Donna Dziedzic

Another year, another weird hairdo for the Naperville Library director, who
likes to change her style whenever her facility is named the best of its size in
the nation. That happened again this year, for the eighth straight time.

Johnnie Russell

The 58-year-old Aurora man was shot and killed in November by police during a
long standoff on the fifth floor of Provena Mercy Medical Center. Aurora police
said a 12-year veteran of the force shot Russell as the man emerged from a room
with a gun.

Jennifer Garrison

The 27-year-old Naperville woman was the first of 1,603 women across the
finish line during the U.S. Women's Triathlon in late June in downtown
Naperville. Garrison, who has competed in three Ironman triathlons, said she got
a taste for the races while still a high school student working at Centennial
Beach.

Marc Kancler

The 29-year-old Naperville man - a self-proclaimed actor, musician and

three-time featured player on reality TV - admits he likes the spotlight. So it
was no surprise in August when he offered a lock of his hair - and the DNA that
goes with it - to the highest bidder on eBay. "I love attention," he said. "I'm
a big self-promoter."

Prescillia Spencer

She runs the Naperville Family Resource Center in the Naper Trails apartment
complex with an iron fist and a warm heart. But even she said in August that the
 Page 9
Top Newsmakers of 2006 Chicago Daily Herald December 29, 2006 Friday

center needed some additional funding if it was going to continue to fight crime
and raise test scores among low-income children living at the complex.

Don Darfler, Leo Kuefler, Vincent Mazza, Al Rubin and Bob Wehrli

The five highly decorated World War II veterans from Naperville were honored
by the Century Walk Corp. with a bronze sculpture along Washington Street near
Central Park.

Lindsey Mango

The Naperville Central volleyball star led her team to a 31-8 record and the
DuPage Valley Conference championship. She also was named the Daily Herald's
All-Area 2006 girls volleyball captain.

Brent Schepp

The Aurora resident, who worked as a civil engineer in Naperville, was

running for Kane County board on a family values platform when he was indicted
in October on allegations of getting teens drunk and then molesting them. Just
days after the indictment, he died when he drove his car at a high rate of speed
into a pedestrian bridge in Aurora.

Anthony Bruno

The garbage man from Naperville became something of a hero in October when he
saw a Jeep flip onto Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago and pulled two men to safety
before the vehicle burst into flames and exploded.

Susan Gedz

The kindergarten teacher at Prairie Elementary School was the first in

Naperville Unit District 203 to be honored with an OfficeMax Teacher Innovator
Award in October. The monthly awards are part of a new partnership between the
school district and Naperville-based OfficeMax.

Heather Butler

A member of Neuqua Valley's first graduating class, Butler returned this fall
as a rookie teacher at the Naperville high school and found her history at the
school gave her an immediate bond with her students.

Millie Shepich

The Waubonsie Valley teacher thought one of the first pep rallies she
attended was too quiet, so she grabbed the microphone and led the classes in a
battle of school spirit. Now, she calls herself the school's "Crazy Lady" as she
leads most of the school's pep events.

The Naperville man and his wife, Nancy, awoke one morning in late April to
find someone had fired at least four shots into their Naperville-area home.
Police were investigating, but no one seemed to have a clue about what the
motive may have been.

Iraqis must fix Iraq, Powell tells crowd in Indy;

Former secretary also says 'global warming is a
fact' and U.S. is 'still a trusted nation'
BYLINE: WILL HIGGINS WILL.HIGGINS@INDYSTAR.COM

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 4

LENGTH: 389 words

American troops can't fix Iraq -- they can only keep a lid on the civil war
there.

So said Colin Powell in a speech Monday night. "With the (U.S. troop) surge,
we have a heavier lid," he said, "but the Iraqis have to come together. What's
needed is an Iraqi strategy."

If the Iraqis "don't start coming together by the end of the year," Powell
said, "another (U.S.) course is needed."

Powell was the speaker at the annual Block Forum, a lecture series held
annually at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation.

His speech was wide-ranging, mentioning the war in Iraq, education and the
environment. Powell, a month shy of his 70th birthday and two years retired from
his post as U.S. secretary of state, is a lecture-circuit regular.

He decried the state of K-12 education in the United States; he proclaimed

that "global warming is a fact!" Mostly, though, he was upbeat.

He pointed out that when he joined the Army, in 1958, the world faced nuclear
annihilation, and now it doesn't. The nascent nuclear threats in North Korea and
Iran "will be solved diplomatically," he said.

Fifty years ago, international relations were all about militarism, he said,
but now economics is king. "It's all: 'How do we create jobs?' 'How do we
attract investment?' "

He said the U.S. is "still a trusted nation," and "as long as we believe in
ourselves, the rest of the world will believe in us."

Greeted with a standing ovation by a packed house of more than 1,000, Powell
was relaxed and personable.

He announced to the audience his fourth grandchild had been born earlier in
the day. He confided to them that one of the first things he did after leaving
the Cabinet was to buy a Corvette.

He got belly laughs rhapsodizing about how he missed having his own Boeing
757 airplane, which comes with being secretary of state, "and that long, red
carpet they'd roll out for me, and a band that would strike up when I came down
the steps -- it was cool."

A decade ago, Powell was considered a front-runner for the presidency. But he
held back, later disclosing he had little interest in politics.

The Block Forum lecture series was established in 1983 with money left to the
Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation by Edward Block, whose family once owned the
large, Indianapolis-based department store chain that bore their name.

Powell: Like it or not, Iraq is a civil war;

Former secretary of state speaks his mind on
international, national affairs at FGCU lecture
series
BYLINE: Elizabeth Wright

SECTION: LOCAL NEWS

LENGTH: 606 words

If the red carpet or blue-and-white barricades approaching the arena didn't

give it away, maybe the packed parking lot dotted with security guards did:
Friday was no ordinary day at Florida Gulf Coast University.

Colin Powell, the former secretary of state who had the ear of several
presidents, was on campus for a free evening lecture that drew more than 4,000
people to Alico Arena.

Whether those in the crowd described Powell, 69, as a leader they deeply
respect, or as someone with wrong-headed views, many were there out of simple
curiosity to hear what he had to say, especially about Iraq.

Powell did mention that country, and what he called the "civil war" there.

"The administration doesn't like me to say civil war, but I'm afraid that's
the way it is," he said, but only after framing Iraq as one of many vexing
problems he has seen over his long career and noting that many of those problems
ended well.

Looking back over the past 50 years, he said, the world is more stable; for
instance, the Cold War, the big threat for much of his career, is over.

"Iraq will be resolved one way or another," Powell said, adding he is glad
Saddam Hussein is gone.

He did express doubts, though, over the good that additional troops would do
now.

"We're running our troops into the ground," he said.

But at the same time, he said, talk of setting a deadline to leave Iraq is
"improper."
 Page 2

News (Florida) March 24, 2007 Saturday

Earlier in the day, the U.S. House narrowly voted to approve a bill that
would call for combat troops to leave Iraq by fall 2008.

Powell's most-prominent role at the beginning of U.S. involvement in Iraq

four years ago may have come while he was secretary of state.

He made a February 2003 presentation to the United Nations Security Council

in which he set out the Bush administration's view that Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction.

U.S. troops entered Iraq the following month.

Powell announced his resignation as secretary of state in November 2004.

Since then, he has traveled the country lecturing.

He came to FGCU as part of the three-year-old University Lecture Series.

Past guests were poet Maya Angelou and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Next year's speaker is scheduled to be Lesley Stahl of the CBS show "60
Minutes."

Powell's talk Friday, "Diplomacy: Persuasion, Trust and Values," is one he

has given elsewhere. In addition to discussing current events, he touched on
leadership and the challenges of being in retirement after such a prominent
career.

He got the crowd laughing as he described his mistake trying to catch a

flight on a commercial airline and having to deal with the post-9/11 security
hassles - rules he said he helped set up.

That didn't make it any easier to be questioned about paying for a ticket
with cash, arriving late and not carrying luggage.

The security employee sticking the wand in his face greeted him by name,
Powell said, causing him to wonder: "If you know I'm Colin Powell, why don't you
go over there and look for Osama bin Laden?"

That experience made him miss his flight. (He got a Corvette, instead.) But
he used that experience to say that while he thinks security restrictions were
necessary, he worries about the country losing out to fear and becoming less
open.

"The greatest strength we have to fight terrorism is our openness as a

society," he said.

Powell's career began in the Army and brought him into the national
spotlight under several administrations. He served as national security adviser
under President Ronald Reagan and as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under
President George H.W. Bush, and was widely popular for his handling of the Gulf
War in the early 1990s.

FOUR STARS FOR POWELL LECTURE

BYLINE: THOMAS B. LANGHORNE, Courier & Press staff writer, 464-7432 or
langhornet@courierpress.com

SECTION: METRO; Pg. A1

LENGTH: 559 words

A day after former Secretary of State Colin Powell kicked off Evansville's
Celebration of Diversity Distinguished Lecture Series, the event's chief
organizer pronounced it a smashing success.

"It truly was a momentous occasion for the city of Evansville," Robiaun
Charles said of Powell's lecture Tuesday night in The Centre's auditorium.

Powell, who has been a member of the board of trustees at Howard University
and the board of directors of the United Negro College Fund, acknowledged
Tuesday night he may have received opportunities early in his military career
because of his race.

But Powell said that was irrelevant to him. What was important, he said, was
whether he took advantage of his opportunities.

Recalling his days as an Army brigade commander, Powell said he was told by
a fellow officer that he had been given the command because he was black.

His response?

"I don't care," he said. "The only thing that's going to matter a year from
now is how I do."

Powell said he is proud to be black, especially because of all the

sacrifices made by others.

"But the word 'black' has to come after what I am, not before," he said.

A larger lesson

The larger lesson, Powell said, is diversity may be the thing to do, but
that won't make it a reality.

"Diversity is a necessity, and it will only happen if people work and fight
for it."

Charles said she found certain of Powell's remarks profoundly moving.

 Page 2
FOUR STARS FOR POWELL LECTURE Evansville Courier & Press (Indiana) April 19,
2007 Thursday

"Diversity and what does it mean, when he said it's us realizing in the
depths of our souls that every human is a gift to our community," she said. "E
(Powell's remarks) actualized the mission of the Lecture Series."

An overflow crowd

Charles, president of the Lecture Series' board of directors, said Wednesday

that Powell's appearance as the series' inaugural speaker attracted 2,450
people.

Another 1,000 people viewed a simulcast in The Centre's ballroom.

Since then, she said, she has been inundated with congratulatory telephone
calls and e-mail messages.

"Listening to (Powell) was energizing for them," she said.

Charles said Powell's remarks are sure to raise awareness and foster
dialogue about diversity.

The Lecture Series, which aims to bring in two multicultural scholars and
dignitaries per year, is offered free of charge so it will be accessible to
everyone.

The 70-year-old Powell was the founding chairman of America's Promise: The
Alliance for Youth, a program that helps American children get educational,
health, protective and other resources.

In 2005, America's Promise selected Evansville as one of the 100 best

communities in the U.S. for young people - a fact Powell mentioned twice, once
in a brief picture session with journalists and again during his remarks.

The series is sponsored by a consortium of pro-diversity businesses, local

institutions of higher learning and the city of Evansville.

In Tuesday night's lecture, Charles wrote that the Lecture Series was
created with a specific purpose in mind.

"The original idea was to create a lecture series that would create a sense
of awareness and understanding of the differences and similarities which exist
among people of different races, cultures and ethnicities through dialogue and
interaction," Charles wrote. "E We are optimistic this series will serve as a
catalyst for broad community dialogue on diversity and the enrichment it brings
our community."

Colin Powell to speak at Miami University

BYLINE: By Richard Wilson Staff Writer

SECTION: LOCAL; Pg. A12

LENGTH: 216 words

OXFORD - Miami University officials are gearing up for a visit from the
nation's first black secretary of state.

Retired Gen. Colin Powell will speak from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Millett
Hall. The former secretary of state under George W. Bush from 2001-2005 will
deliver a lecture entitled "Diplomacy: Persuasion, Trust and Values" and
afterward answer questions from the audience.

The event, free and open to the public, is part of the Jack R. Anderson
Distinguished Lecture Series.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for students to reflect on ideas and

decisions that have effected the course of society and public policy, and to
expose the broader community to that type of thought process," said Alan Oak,
assistant dean of external relations in the Richard T. Farmer School of
Business.

During the day, Powell, 70, will meet with members of the Navy/Marine and Air
Force Reserve Officer Training Corps and a small group of students who represent
the different academic divisions of the university, Oak said.

Powell's last visit to the campus was in 2000, when he was the inaugural
speaker for the Anderson series. Anderson's endowment has paid for several other
speakers, including former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Queen Noor of
Jordan and former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Gen. Powell Speaks About Prostate Cancer

SECTION: Pg. A6 Vol. 44 No. 40

LENGTH: 515 words

ABSTRACT

In 2003, the former secretary of State underwent surgery for prostate cancer and made a full recovery. Since that
time. General [Colin Powell] has contributed his time to the Prostate Cancer Education Council, a non-profit that each
year sponsors Prostate Cancer Awareness Week (PCAW).

Yet prostate cancer is nearly 100 percent survivable when detected early. That is why PCEC coordinates free and
low-cost screenings each year across the country during PCAW, scheduled this year for Sept. 17-22.

According to PCEC founder Dr. E. David Crawford, "Every three minutes an American male discovers he has
prostate cancer. Early diagnosis is critical to catch this disease when it is at its most curable stage."

FULL TEXT

As a prostate cancer survivor, General Colin Powell is doing his part to inform men across the United States of the
importance of prevention.

In 2003, the former secretary of State underwent surgery for prostate cancer and made a full recovery. Since that
time. General Powell has contributed his time to the Prostate Cancer Education Council, a non-profit that each year
sponsors Prostate Cancer Awareness Week (PCAW).

"Early detection is the best weapon we have against this silent killer," notes General Powell.

Rates of death from prostate cancer have declined over past years, but the disease remains the second-leading cause
of cancer death in American men. More than 218,890 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, and 27,050
men likely will die from the disease.

With more annual cases of prostate cancer than of breast cancer among women, screening is imperative to ensure
the health of the men of our nation.

Yet prostate cancer is nearly 100 percent survivable when detected early. That is why PCEC coordinates free and
low-cost screenings each year across the country during PCAW, scheduled this year for Sept. 17-22.

PCEC recommends yearly screening for men 35 and older if they fall into one of the high-risk categories, including
African Americans, who are at a higher risk than Caucasians, or men who have a family history of the disease. All men
over 40 should be checked yearly.

To remind men of the importance of yearly screening, General Powell will relate his personal story through
 Page 2
Gen. Powell Speaks About Prostate Cancer Sacramento Observer Sep 20, 2007 / Sep 26, 2007

national public service announcements on both radio and television.

TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc., Lake Forest, Ill., is a long-time supporter of PCEC and has provided financial
support for this year's PCAW educational efforts.

The campaign intends to help decrease the number of men affected by prostate cancer to nearly zero in years to
come.

According to PCEC founder Dr. E. David Crawford, "Every three minutes an American male discovers he has
prostate cancer. Early diagnosis is critical to catch this disease when it is at its most curable stage."

Screenings during PCAW take about 10 minutes and include a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and a
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) done by a trained professional.

To find a PCAW screening site near you and for more information on prostate cancer, please visit www.-pcaw.com
or call toll free 866-4PROST8.
