This spook-tacular is on for 6 PM tonite....as I once again -- armed with:
GORF: The Icon of The Green Movement
takes to the streets of Chicago - dressed up as COUNT GORF-U-LA (see company photos dating back to All Hallowed Eve of 2005 - to let people and citizens; kids and elders --- all know that a GREEN HALLOWEEN can be a fun and safe one.
After all, it's not only about The Candy, but how we handle the Earth - stewards as we all are -- so that creatures as THE FROG who has survived the last 217,000,000 can live on in an environment that we are all sharing.

SKiN, A NOVEL: FOR
ASK: ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH (a prominent Chicago Artist/Writer/Eventologist) unites 10 of the Greatest TOYS ever manufactured in Contemporary Times; adds ample Doses of Imagination, Conversation, Mystery & Merriment to find and discover profound and never before conceived Ways to remove RACISM, The Crux of Hatred, Despair & Bad (if not sinister & uncivilized) Behavior that still vehemently burns, plagues and lurks deeply in Man Today circa The 21ST Century…NOW…in the compelling 295 Page, 69,206 Word Book she incredulously penned in merely 147 Days, entitled:
SKiN: HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE ©2009.
Affecting us all, this Subject is brought to Life at this Pivotal Point in History via KOOPERSMITH’s unique and unwavering Blend & Brand of Communication, Experiences & Wisdom that contain a mesmerizing, yet haunting Effect that alludes to and invokes the stark Reality of RACISM and swift Realization as to how PREJUDICE can (and must) be erased by examining the prevailing Factors that make this Subject an unsuitable and unsavory Part of Man’s Make-up, Demeanor & Character. SKiN’s Text alone provides that distinct(ive) Challenge and acts as a functioning Catalyst giving The Movie Industry a Chance to address and respond to THE BOOK, One well-worth immortalizing on The Golden Screen, for Man Today and Future Generations as he humbly & peacefully resides with all Creatures on Planet Earth.

She didn't die in vein...
Chicago, IL USA: But then again, she was far to young to die AT ALL. Such is the universal feeling for the Murder of Miss Somer Thompson who was walking to school last week in a small quiet Floridian Town when she was grabbed and murdered. A total heart-ache, the story made national news as a country again is startled at what has become ALMOST a daily occurrence. This, of course, is different from inner city shootings and killings of Students going and coming from school, but then again, these acts are the taking of Life, which is not condonable.
Therefore, I sent my:

I've always been known to take my projects to the TOP. It stated:
For those who wish to get involved in The Crusade -- as a major Bike Manufacturer -- should be involved as well as moneyed moguls who can foot the bills, as well as a Venture Capitalist who wants to work closely with me -- to develop the Concept furtehr as I devise the Literature, the time is now.

Dear President Obama: The Murder of the Child, SOMER THOMPSON is an atrocity that must be stopped once and for all. I strongly feel I have a terrific idea on how to HELP KIDS HELP themselves as they travel (on a bike) through Life. It is posted on my blog and follows for your serious Consideration. On behalf of billions of people across the planet, I thank you. After all, we Adults who (were once children) ‘made it’ were the fortunate ones.

Somer Thompson didn't have a Bike. Somer Thompson is dead...
Chicago, IL USA: Actually, the adorable Little Florida Gal was murdered. This represents yet another escalating and scalding number of horrific Deaths that I have personally witnessed the last 50 years of Kids being abducted and later butchered.
This morning, the NBC NYC Female Anchor stated at the end of her news reel some very important yet disturbing Words (that could prove to be instrumental in this case) and those were:
"No bus route. Somer had to walk to school."
As a person who has ridden a bike since age 6 (when I got my first Trike in Mendota, Illinois, a small farming community 100 miles southwest of Chicago), I cannot put a price on my WHEELS -- but I can honestly say NOW that if Somer Thompson had a Bike on that fate-ful day, she may be alive today.
Granted bus routes cannot criss-cross every home situated across America, but BIKES can, should and have...they have saved me valuable time, as well as probably 'outbiking' a Predator who did not have good intentions as to my health, wealth and safety.
This was the Thought that popped into my Mind when I heard this story unfold. IF ONLY Somer had a bike, this would NOT have happened to her...in all her Innocence and Child-like Beauty.
MY POA: PLAN OF ACTION:
What major Bike Manufacturers should now seriously consider is a Campaign called:
PUT KIDS ON BIKES
or
PUT KIDS ON WHEELS (C)2009
The Bikes do not need to be expensive. In larger Cities, Bike Theft Rings prevail - and have made Bike Robberies a major Endeavor of making extra money. What I'm talking about is expanding a Child's Horizon(s) by getting him or her their very own BIKE.
HOW EXCITING IS THAT!
They can travel to school quicker and easier as well as visit friends or go to community centers and/or grocery stores (even to the mall) -- all the while keeping the Environment GREEN and fume-free.
By being MOBILE, Young Children are less likely to be abducted by a Predator, Pedaphile and/or child molester who has a vehicle (car/van/jeep) and can sweep that 'Baby' away forever. Let's also not forget other harm that is on the street as pit bulls, that may attack if riled.
Not only is biking a means of getting to one's destination quicker, but I (for one) have taken 4 inches of baby fat from my hips by BIKING on a daily bases. Now, after 12 years of consistently riding every Day no matter what the weather happens to be doing, I say I'm both a Writer & a Rider and the 2 mix in refreshing ways.
Undoubtedly, there are areas and regions where Biking is not do-able in inclement Weather...but gosh, gee-whiz, once THE BIKE BUG has bitten you, you will find a way to bike 24/7 and year-round. It's a fun activity (a convenient compulsion) that keeps a person as free as the wind, while setting an Example for Fitness. And in extreme cases,
BIKING CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE
from evil Elements - like the one that ended Somer's Life.
In a nutshell: It only takes common sense to KNOW that it is harder to stop a Child on a bike than to grab one (physically) off a street - which is the M.O. of child predators, when they see a kid on foot. Bikes even serves Adults well who are snatched and grabbed and never come back to their loved ones and family. Let's STOP once and for all any more Somer Thompsons from getting murdered.
A CONCERNED CITIZEN's PLEA: Hey, let's ban together and get this Bike Campaign going, America. It is an excellent Idea. If it saves one kid's life (as it has saved mine on many occasions), then it has worked.
I may be contacted at:
askoopersmith(at)hotmail(dot)com
for more info - idea-tossing, etc. regarding:
PUT KIDS ON BIKES.
It's an Concept whose time is far overdue. Peddling your Way through a Safe Day is thematic in all of our Travel Bouts (through Life). I'm sure Somer would have liked it. In retrospect is OUT, Action is now demanded.

A POSTSCRIPT follows that I penned a few moments ago that pertains to an OnLine Article from Orange Park, Florida, home of Somer Thompson.
===================
This is the saddest, saddest of all stories. I am from Chicago where Brian Dugan (a reputed Child Molester) is on trial for killing several innocent children in the mid-80s. It's taken over 25 years until justice is being served. Coincidentally, both our City Dailies: The Tribune & Sun-Times have run the cover story in picture format of 1 of the gal's who was with 1 of Dugan's murdered victims -- now a woman of 32 who is still haunted by what had happened so many years ago when she was just 8.

Being 25 years older and born in 1952 (which was considered a simpler and safer time), I distinctively remember a lifetime of innocent children being abducted and killed.
FAST FORWARDING TO TODAY. On many occasions since I moved to Chicago in May of 1974, I have been able to 'get away' -- because I ride a bike. I know this sounds terrifically 'simplistic,' but there really must be a campaign for Kids to have access in order to gain the ability and mobility to JUST BIKE AWAY FROM TROUBLE.
As Somer did -- walking to school -- although it's great exercise, if given the opportunity to BIKE, this heinous crime may not have happened. A Bike provides a child (and older person, too, of course) with the agility to GET AWAY from any predator. I thought I'd advance this theory so this does not ever happen again.
Biking is not only effective for kids, but my bike has saved my life on a few occasions when gang-bangers were after me.
Please give it some thought when you plan for your and your child's day ahead.

Peddling into 6 Figures. It can be done....
Chicago, IL USA:
Monday, October 5th was a Biking Milestone as is today: Monday, October 19th -- some 2 weeks ago. And, if the Speedometer was really on track - as it may be about 6 miles off the beaten track, the Milestone of
3500 Miles
peddled from May 29, 2008 to now has been achieved.
All within 2 weeks time. That's a great record to hold and boast about, considering the Weather Chicago experiences.
While having to take public transportation on Saturday, I found that it's a greater inconvenience than necessary. A north bound train had to be rerouted to go 4 stops south, before customers - call them riders -- had to reboard and head north on another Train that was destined to go back to the very spot where the southbound fiasco began.
Where would I have been at this time if enbiked on the road? About 1 mile north and closer to my destination with an extra $2.25 in my pocket. Now, you can see why I prefer biking over any other kind of travel. Time and Money are 2 commodities most are short of these days -- and one that is enpowered if you ONLY bike your days away.
