THE 2010 WALK FOR JUSTICE MARCH WAS SUCCESSFUL. SPECIAL THANKS TO MOONIE ALI AND THE TORONTO POLICE.

Wearing a white t-shirt with “Play guitar, not guns” inscribed on the back, Dianne Bruce holds a photograph of her dead son-in-law, Jesse Archer.The 26-year-old musician died from a gunshot wound in Belleville this summer.It has been hell for Archer’s family members as they wait for an accused gunman to go on trial next month for the shooting.All they know is Archer was found dead after a night of bar hopping with friends in June.Bruce’ sister-in-law, Lisa, along with a dozen others, marched for their murdered loved ones in the annual Walk for Justice at Queen’s Park on Sunday.“For my daughter, he was the love of her life for over six years,”

Bruce, 46, told the crowd. “He was a rising musician. He’s in our hearts and we’re hoping that justice will be served. I’m trying to deal with ‘How did my son-in-law get murdered accidentally?’”The Walk for Justice marks its third anniversary this year, with similar marches going on in Barrie, Sudbury and Sydney, N.S.“Without justice, we cheapen lives,” said Moonie Ali, who began the walk after her 15-year-old son, Terrence, was beaten to death in Scarborough in 2003. “Without justice, the victims and families have no hope or peace and the rest of us can only blindly hope that tragedy would never happen to us.”The group marched down to the courthouse at 361 University Ave.

Amber O’Hara, who suffers from a terminal illness, said she remembered hearing on the news that the body of her cousin, Carolyn Connolly, had been discovered in 2008 in a dank alleyway on Seaton St. Connolly, 54, was stabbed three times in the heart.“Police aren’t considering it a cold case yet, but I know people who know who did it and they’re not saying anything,” O’Hara said. “When I heard her name, I went into shock. It’s not our Carolyn. A part of me died.”O’Hara said she likely won’t be able to survive long enough to see justice served, but she still hopes that someone will come forward.“My mission in life was to survive long enough for justice, because my doctor (has given me) until December or early spring, perhaps,” she said. “That makes me really sad. But I guess I’ll get the answers when I meet her. She had a

heart of gold.”

THE PRESS CONFERENCE APPEAL FOR THE LATE MICHAEL "MEYEND TRICKS" GEORGE ON FRIDAY JULY 23RD 2010.

TODAY MARKS 3 YEARS TORONTO LOST A REMARKABLE YOUNG MAN! PLS REMEMBER MICHAEL GEORGE TODAY...

Edwardson George is a big man. And he’s been able to maintain his stature despite the murder of his son Michael, 25, shot dead July 29, 2007, at Wilcox Creek Pathway co-op near Sheppard Ave. and Morningside Ave.

He says there isn’t a moment of any day he isn’t thinking about his boy.

“Very, very hard for me,” George said Friday during a plea for people who know anything to call Crime Stoppers. “He was not only my son, he was my buddy.

“Michael had two names for me: Dad and Pops,” he said.

When Michael, a rapper who went by the stage name Meyend Tricks and whose album 4 Ever was released by his family during the plea, wanted his father to be a buddy, he called him Pops.

“But when he needed me as a dad, he’d just say, ‘Dad, can I speak to you?’” George said.

“Getting up every day has been very, very difficult,” he said. “I have to make sure the rest of the family is okay.

“It hurts,” George said. “I wake up every day and I’m not myself. I’m not 100% because I don’t have him with me and I cannot speak to him, and I cannot call him when I need to talk to him about certain things that we normally talk about.”

The music was supposed to be the young man’s future, but has instead become his legacy.

It’s available on his Facebook page for free.

The night he died, Michael had dropped off his friend in Ajax after a party and then returned to his girlfriend’s townhouse in the co-op.

When he pulled in at 3:30 a.m., he was ambushed by a gunman who opened fire before he could get out of the car.

Toronto homicide Det.-Sgt. Steve Ryan said in 2007 that the assassin apparently lay in wait and the killing didn’t appear random but it was unknown why the young man was targeted.

“I just want the person or persons who perpetrated this crime to be caught,” George said. “They can’t go around doing things like this, hurt so many families, hurt so many people. We want justice, justice for Michael.”

Atlanta R&B artist Tim Campbell also a TIMA nominee came to show support for the George family.

Michael's uncle carries his Toronto Independent Music Award for Best Rap. An award he never lived to see.

Michael's mom Scherry and sister Sarah

Michael’s mom Scherry called for anyone who knows anything to call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.

She also challenged the pervasive gang culture mantra of not snitching.

“Man up and be a snitch,” Scherry said.

Const. Scott Mills said while Crime Stoppers points detectives in the right direction, homicide officers need witnesses.

“We can’t solve the case unless we have a witness that gives us the information,” he said. “But if you know who it is and are too scared to come forward, call 1-800-222-TIPS,” or go online at www.222tips.com, or text TOR and send a message to CRIMES.

“I never thought I would be in this position,” George said. “I know what Michael is like. For this to happen to Michael, it tells me they don’t care, people don’t care.

“I miss him dearly, I miss him every second of the day, 365, 24 hours a day,” he said.

The Toronto Independent Music awards was held on Friday July 23rd 2010 once again at the Phoenix Concert theatre in Toronto. Awards were given out in various music genres. It was a fun night as many in the music industry came out to see their fave indie artists get recognized in what they do best. Daniela Oliva, the founder put up a great show with lots of sponsors including $60,ooo in prizes.

It was a full house of performances, green room appearances and photos. I presented the Best Alternative Rock award which went out to Waxmen. These guys JUMPED onto the stage with happiness. This is what the TIMAS are about. Pictured on the red carpet with the CEO and Founder Daniela Oliva is Atlanta based R&B artist Tim Campbell who was nominated for Best International/USA artist.

AWARD WINNING TORONTO RAPPER MICHAEL"MEYEND TRICKS" REMEMBERED BY FAMILY AND COLLEAGUES WITH ALBUM LAUNCH AND CRIMESTOPPERS APPEAL3 YEARS AFTER HIS MU

THE FAMILY OF LATE TORONTO RAPPER MICHAEL"MEYEND TRICKS" GEORGE TO HOLD CRIME STOPPERS APPEAL NEWS CONFERENCE THREE YEARS AFTER HIS MURDER AND LAUNCH HIS FINAL ALBUM "4EVER"TO THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC.

On Sunday, July 29, 2007, at approximately 3:30 a.m., police received numerous 911 calls for the sound of gunshots. Officers attended the Wilcox Creek Pathway area where the deceased was discovered. He was the humble community oriented "Rapper "Meyend Tricks" real name Michael George in the driver's seat of his grey Chevrolet Malibu, in the driveway of unit 36A. He was shot several times while waiting for his girlfriend. Michael was the Toronto Independent Music Award (TIMA) Best Rap album winner in 2007 but never lived to see it. The award show was shortly after he was murdered.

Three years later there are no arrests and a $50,000 reward for any evidence leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or person responsible for the murder of 25-year-old Michael George. On Friday July 23rd 2010 at 11.30am, The George family, friends, fellow rappers and Atlanta based R& B artist Tim Campbell who is the 2010 Toronto Independent Music Award nominee for Best International/USA will speak to the Toronto media and take questions.

Campbell who has been prominently known for his nominated hit song "Beautiful U" dedicated to abused women and had a domestic violence tour in 2009 will speak about violence and the death of a fellow TIMA nominee/winner. Campbell felt he had to be there to support the George family being a TIMA nominee who flew into another country for the first time and having to hear another nominee and later winner was murdered before he could receive the award!

It is however devastating and ironic when Campbell learned that the last 6 consecutive homicides in the Toronto/GTA area were domestic violence related. Toronto, Canada (homicides #23, 24, 26) and Peel region, (homicides #1 and 2) for 2010.

Michael's family Edward and Scherry George and his sister Sarah will address the media encouraging the public to help with tips for Crime Stoppers. They will then launch Michael's final work in an album titled "4Ever." An emotional hit song in the album is titled "Mom" which he dedicated to his mother Scherry will be played. Michael was her only son. Scherry appeared in the song in the final edited version along with Michael's sister Sarah. This is a must for the media to hear and it's nothing but sheer talent.

Global TV, CityTV, CTV, CBC, Toronto Sun, Toronto Star, National Post, Globe and Mail, Inside Toronto and Rogers TV, CFRB Radio and 680 News radio are all expected to be present as they always are at all Keminications families of crime victims news conference appeals. Keminications Public Relations respectfully ask for the presence of the general public at this event at Yonge/Dundas square near the Hard Rock Cafe

On Thursday, August 14, 2008, a children's playground was built in Michael George's memory. The Wilcox Creek complex playground was completed with the assistance of Home Depot, Costco, teachers and community members. On Monday, August 18, 2008, a dedication ceremony was held at the complex to name the playground after him. Also a scholarship was set up in Michael's name at Centennial College " Michael Henry George Memorial Scholarship. "

The scholarship is in the Business Administration program and was awarded this year to a student. Michael attended Centennial college and graduated from this program in 2005. "(He had) no gang connections, no criminal record, no nothing," Det. Sgt. Steve Ryan of Toronto Police Homicide said. "By all accounts he was just a hard working young man but somebody had a beef with him."

In the spirit of Michael's humility, his mother Scherry held a toy drive during his birthday in 2008 for disadvantaged kids. The family is also giving his entire album to the public FREE. A link to the Free download will be announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Dan Nielsen or Steve Ryan at 416－808－7398, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416－222－TIPS (8477), online at http://222tips.com or Text TIP312 and your message to CRIMES.

R&B SENSATION TIM CAMPBELL NOMINATED FOR "BEST INTERNATIONAL/USA ARTIST" AT THE TORONTO INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS.

Tim Campbell is a rising R&B sensation whose smooth vocals and writing creativity have been blessed for many years. His single off his debut "Silent Tears" album "Beautiful" was a huge hit and has now been nominated for a 2010 Best International/USA artist award in the Toronto Independent Music Awards in Canada which will be presented. on Friday July 23rd 2010. Campbell performed on the Mo'Nique show alongside New Edition's "Heads of State on BET (Black Entertainment TV) and has been featured on several newspapers and radio stations including hometown paper Milwaukee Journal Sentinel during this first album release in 2008. He was also interviewed by 98.3 Jammin FM in Milwaukee and Fox 6 TV was present during his performance at his former Milwaukee High school during Black History month in 2008.

In 2008/2009, "Beautiful" became somewhat of an anti-domestic violence anthem as shortly after it was released, singer Rihanna was battered by her then boyfriend Chris Brown. Campbell then went on a DV tour "Domestic Violence" where portions of the proceeds was donated to women's shelters. He released a statement in 2009 denouncing the act.

Campbell is scheduled to speak about domestic violence and violence in general at a press conference in Toronto, Canada at 11.30am on Friday July 23rd 2010 alongside the family of late Toronto Rapper Michael "Meyend Tricks" George, the winner of the 2007 Best Rap category at the Toronto Independent Music Awards who was gunned down July 2007, a week before the awards while sitting in his car and never lived to pick up the award. George's first and final album will be released to the media at that news conference and Campbell believes it is the right thing to do to support the family when you lose a comrade in the same field. It is noted that the last five consecutive homicides in Toronto, Canada (#23, 24, 26) and Peel region, a surburb homicides (#1 and 2) were domestic violence related so Campbell plans to speak about it with various Toronto media while in town.The Toronto Independent Music Award show takes place at 7pm on Friday July 23rd 2010 at the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto, Canada.

HIPHOSSIP MUSIC BLOG TEAMS UP SECOND SET OF TORONTO RAPPERS TO RECORD PSA'S FOR THE TORONTO POLICE TAVIS SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

Crime victim advocate, Publicist and Music Journalist Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo has paired up local rappers with the Toronto police to record public service announcements for the ongoing TAVIS initiative. She has been hosting free press conferences for families of crime victims to make appeals to the public for tips on their homicide cases and has always been a strong supporter of Toronto Crime Stoppers and "Prevention" of crime in youth.

The Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy is a Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provincially funded initiative, dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable, safe neighbourhoods. TAVIS initiatives are operating in all of the 17 Toronto police Divisions and are supported by every unit in the Service.

The key message for this TAVIS PSA is that TAVIS officers are there to help the community, not harass them. TAVIS officers listen and talk with community members and the goal is to work together and basically the two parts to TAVIS is community building and enforcement.

In May 2010, Kemi whose music and PR blog HipHossip.com and Fanada.ca features You Tube videos of appeals from crime victims teamed up five local Toronto rappers with Z103.5FM and TAVIS from all corners of the city, ethnic groups and nationalities for this project. The Rappers Nes (Noel Esso), Berg Bauge (Tony Rosier), Gilly Gadan (Gilliano Joseph), Kadar Star (Kadar Hall) and Jay Stacks.

Now June 2010, HipHossip had teamed up another 5 rappers with TAVIS and a female R&B singer DJ DjChrissay N MissUnique, The Rap group M.S.S consisting of Brad Lyko, Andrew Slowly and Schenks as well as Jordan Kelly and JStaffz to record brand new PSA's at Flow 93.5 Radio station studios on Tuesday June 15th 2010 at 1pm sharp.

Any media wishing to videotape them while rapping the PSA's and interview this team of talented musicians on why they chose to be part of this initiative, and how they are planning to change other lives and motivate youth in the community and getting the public to support TAVIS should contact me. They will also be available after 1.30pm shortly after the recording at Flow 93.5FM for interviews. Flow 93.5FM studios is located at 211 Yonge St. Suite 400, Toronto, ON M5B 1M4 Tel#: 416-214-5000

HipHossip has also just teamed up in a brand partnership with US network Black Entertainment television (BET) on a new hip-hop show "The Deal." As a Canadian partner and Correspondent, we hope to expose the world to our breed of positive rappers in the community. All TV media are encouraged to come in to Flow 93.5FM to shoot visuals of these rappers as they record the public service announcements. This will be the first time cameras are allowed in a taping.

ROLE MODEL RAPPER BERG BEAUGE (KARL ANTHONY ROSIER) ON CP24 TONITE LIVE!!

A rapper who turned his life around and recorded a PSA for Toronto Police during the TAVIS session at Z103.5FM yesterday. POSITIVE!!! Stay tuned to him on CP24 Toronto's breaking news channel tonight. A compelling story.

"Hey Kemi, I have noticed the initiative you have taken with the Tavis program. I would also like to give back to the community. A year ago I was released from the penetentiary after 25 months of incarceration. During my time there I completed my high school and worked on a Business Diploma through correspondence at Northern College. When I was released I was placed in a shelter at Queen and Sherbourne even though I was convicted of drug trafficking. I never let that bother me. I searched for jobs relentlessly and found one at a call center. I worked there until last week. I was just hired for a tech support position for $35,500 a year plus benefits. I guess I'm saying anything is possible. My music is my life and now I can invest in myself. More importantly I will be having my son live with me. I feel that if I can change so can others who really want to change."

Thank you for your time Kemi."

Regards
Berg

CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE KEMI OMOLOLU-OLUNLOYO AND EDITOR OF HIPHOSSIP MUSIC BLOG TEAM UP TORONTO RAPPERS TO RECORD PSA'S FOR TORONTO POLICE'S TAVIS SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

Crime victim advocate, Publicist and Music Journalist Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo has paired up local rappers with the Toronto police to record public service announcements for the ongoing TAVIS initiative. She has been hosting free press conferences for families of crime victims to make appeals to the public for tips on their homicide cases and has always been a strong supporter of Toronto Crime Stoppers and "Prevention" of crime in youth.

The Toronto Anti－Violence Intervention Strategy is a Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provincially funded initiative, dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable, safe neighbourhoods. TAVIS initiatives are operating in all of the 17 Toronto police Divisions and are supported by every unit in the Service.

The key message for this TAVIS PSA is that TAVIS officers are there to help the community, not harass them. TAVIS officers listen and talk with community members and the goal is to work together and basically the two parts to TAVIS is community building and enforcement.

Kemi whose music and PR blog HipHossip.com and Fanada.ca features You Tube videos of appeals from crime victims teamed up five local Toronto rappers from all corners of the city, ethnic groups and nationalities for this project. The Rappers Nes (Noel Esso), Berg Bauge (Tony Rosier), Gilly Gadan (Gilliano Joseph), Kadar Star (Kadar Hall) and Jay Stacks.

Any media wishing to interview this team of talented musicians on why they chose to be part of this initiative, talk about their own past run-ins with the law and how they are planning to change other lives and motivate youth in the community and getting the public to support TAVIS should contact me on an interview location.

HipHossip has just teamed up in a brand partnership with US network Black Entertainment television (BET) on a new hip-hop show "The Deal." As a Canadian partner and Correspondent, we hope to expose the world to our breed of positive rappers in the community.

MAY 11TH 2010: WE REMEMBER ADRIAN MITCHELL JOHNSTON A YEAR LATER

Another Mother’s Day has passed but Stephanie Johnston wouldn’t acknowledge it without her son.

Her 14-year-old son, Adrian, was gunned down in a hydro field off Scarlett Rd. north of St. Clair Ave. W. a year ago.

Last August, Stephanie, friends of Adrian, and Clemee Joseph — whose son, Jarvis St. Remy, was also murdered last year in the area and also remains unsolved — gathered at the spot to celebrate the lad’s birthday.

“Adrian was so excited (about celebrating) his 15th birthday, but he never got to have it,” Stephanie said.

“He enjoyed hanging out with his friends, listening to music ... and just living life as a regular teen. He could always make you laugh. His life was cut too short.

“It’s not fair.”

Adrian and Remy, 18, were gunned down during a bloody four-month period in early 2009, during which eight people were slain. There was fear of a violent conflict between two rival gangs, the 5 Point Generalz and the Gatorz, that caught victims in the middle.

Police responded with the Toronto Anti-Violence Initiative Strategy and violence dropped. And last week, Project Corral targeted the 5PG and two other gangs.

Answers may be forthcoming, police hope.

But no matter how many days pass, it’s not getting easier for the mom who lost her only child.

“I try not to celebrate the holidays so much anymore because, for me, there is nothing to celebrate,” she said Monday.

“Of course, I miss him. He was my whole life. I’m lost without him.

“Each day has been really difficult and I pray every day that someone will be brought to justice before they take some other child’s life.

“The days for me don’t get easier, they get harder the more time that goes by.

“I miss my son more and more each minute that passes. He was my only child and the highlight of my life.”

The answer she seeks is on the streets, but the information about who killed Adrian appears not to be forthcoming.

“Oh, I’m sure people have the answers, but the code of the street prevents people from talking,” Stephanie said. “The police chief needs to step up and take control of this city.

“Too many people are suffering.

“Adrian was a good kid. He didn’t deserve this and he had a bright future that was taken away.”
