I was looking her up recently because she was in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation directed by LeVar Burton, and Nichelle Nichols visited the set! So awesome. First real astronaut on Star Trek.

Mayflower Oil Spill: Exxon Doesn’t Want You to Know People Are Getting Very, Very Sick

The oil spill in Mayflower, Arkansas has left residents outside the evacuation zone complaining of illness. Exxon says the air is safe, but new documentation shows they lied and attempted to cover up the extent of the oil spill. We should trust residents who are suffering from spill-induced illness, not Exxon.

“I could smell that horrible smell. I got really scared,”says Sherry Appleman, who awoke to a nightmare on March 29. As the Exxon Tar Sands oil flowed through their town, residents of Mayflower reported strong odors that lead to headaches and vomiting in areas that Exxon deemed safe and not in need of evacuation. Some of residents, like Scott Crowe, were deemed safe to remain in their homes where a mere 300 yards from the rupture site. They say they haven’t heard from city officials or Exxon, but have experienced headaches, stomach pains, nausea, fainting, and have been prescribed inhalers for the first time.

Ann Jarrell reports that she stayed at home with her daughter and a 3 month old grandchild despite the smells because they were told they didn’t need to evacuate and were safe. Ann Jarrell is a beekeeper and found dead, oil-soaked bees on her porch. The state plant board agreed to evacuate her bees to a safe location, but deemed the situation safe enough for Jarell’s family. They later learned it was likely they’d been exposed to toxic chemical fumes, and are now suffering from breathing problems and have been placed on inhalers.

A local elementary school outside the evacuation zone had to send home eight students who became ill after breathing petrochemical fumes. Although Exxon had determined the air around the school safe, residents, including school officials, reported strong odors of oil in and around the building. These are just a handful of disturbing examples of illness in Mayflower after the oil spill. One Mayflower resident, despite being able to see the leak from her home, was told by Exxon that residents were merely suffering allergies. Some of the residents affected by the spill have filed a class action lawsuit.

This week we’re giving a sugary shout-out to No Bake Makery. The DIY approach to baking (as-in, Do-It-Yourself…without an oven!) illustrated in her new book caught our eye, and our sweet tooth…so we decided to take one of the recipes for a spin. Tie on a vintage apron and channel your inner June Cleaver to whip up this modern take on a classic warm weather treat!

To create: Pour a pack of gelatin into a small bowl filled with 3 tbps of water; let mixture sit for 2 minutes. Combine 3/4 cup each of raspberries, blueberries, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook ingredients over medium-low heat. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, stir in the gelatin mixture and let dissolve, before removing from heat. Cool to room temperature. Next, use an electric mixer to mix 2 cups of heavy cream in a large bowl. Mix until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the berry mixture in with the cream. Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil and nonstick spray, then line with wafer cookies. Pour the mousse mixture into the pan evenly, then vertically insert the remaining cookies. Cover with saran wrap and freeze overnight. Peel away the plastic wrap then slice and serve!

Family and Friends Remember Kris Kross’ Star Chris Kelly At Memorial

Kris Kross’ Chris Kelly was remembered as a true friend and hip-hop pioneer at a memorial in Atlanta on Thursday. His family and friends gathered to pay their respects to the 34-year-old rapper known as Mac Daddy, who died last week of an apparent drug overdose.

His mother and stepfather, Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, and fellow Kris Kross member Chris Smith entered Jackson Memorial Baptist Church as Kris Kross’ song “Live and Die for Hip Hop” played in the background. The two-hour service featured touching tributes and musical performances from LaTocha and Tamika Scott of Xscape and Keke Wyatt, who sang “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”

Kelly’s mother, Donna Kelly Pratte, wept while viewing her son’s casket and Da Brat fought back tears while attempting to speak to reporters.

Emotions ran high as Kelly’s partner-in-rhyme, Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith, took the podium. He recalled the last time he and Kelly were on stage at J.D.’s So So Def 20th Anniversary concert.
