  Reporters Roundtable with Cheryl Smith
  

   

  This is a Don't Believe the Hype Celebrity Bowl-a-thon Weekend, so the show opened talking about all of the wonderful activities planned for the weekend.

  My first guest was Mark Hackett of Cabot Cheese. Go to Costco's in Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Lewisville and Rockwall today between 10 and 6. We talked about the Calcium crisis and Mark said that the Chef on Air Force One used Cabot Cheese on hamburgers for President Barack Obama. Mark said that someone like me needs 1500 milligrams of calcium daily and he said that milk, cheese and yogurt are good sources of calcium.

  Next Dick Gregory joined me and said Happy Father's Day to fathers and women who were filling the gap. He also joked about Father's Day gifts and he mentioned former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, who is now the U.S. Trade Representative. Mr. Gregory met Ambassador Kirk at one of the bowl-a-thons. In closing, Mr. Gregory said the most important thing in the world is oxygen and he thanked me for being the oxygen for Dallas.

  Andre Smith, the oldest of the Three Live Crew Plus Three, joined me all the way from Japan He's married and he and Emma have three children and one on the way--due in February. Andre attended St. Philip's, then T.L. Marsalis, Atwell and graduated from David. W. Carter, where the Class of 1989 just had its reunion.

  Andre sang Happy Birthday to me.

  I gave the news update today. Daisja Weaver joins the long list of children dead at the hands of their parents. Once again valuable time was wasted while the police department searched for a "kidnapped baby." Alandus Weaver and Tamaira Creagh being held for obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence. A Philadelphia Inquirer special issue years ago called attention to the countless number of children who had been molested, raped or murdered.

  Services were held for Rev. C.B. T. Smith of Golden Gate last week.

  Concord Church Sr. Pastor Bryan Carter will lead a prayer vigil at 6p.m. in the parking lot on the corner of Griffin and Commerce Street in downtown Dallas, to show support for former Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill and his wife. The trial begins tomorrow.

  A caller, Joe Jack, sang "What You Won't do for Love" to me.

  Byron Lattimore was elected president of the Dallas Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity--located at 2515 Martin Luther King Blvd.

  David called in regarding Dick Gregory and the 12 Laws of Nature.

  Lynn called in to say how well Andre and the crew are doing. She was surprised to hear that Andre is 23!

  James Rogers called in to talk about N'Cobra's event over the weekend.

  I talked about the 15th Annual Cheryl Smith's Don't Believe the Hype Celebrity Bowl-a-thon Weekend. There will be a silent and live auction. The live auction will include a McDonald's Birthday Party for 15; a live broadcast of Reporters Roundtable with ads from the North Dallas Gazette, the Elite News, The Dallas Examiner and The Dallas Weekly; an Obama nation piece and a role on Channing People's newest film, Red.
