"It seemed as if I was free, but I was enslaved," said Sanders, an NFL Network analyst and well known philanthropist. "...I was trapped inside my body, crying out to you for help. Some of you are walking this journey right now, you're confined, you're constrained, you're not even free." Sanders, who was dubbed "Prime Time" because of his larger than life personality, r addressed a crowd of hundreds last Friday during ?"Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministries' annual Hope on the Inside fundraiser at St. Peters Church and World Outreach Center. Sanders has given just as much in the com munity as he gave on the field during his playing days. He has lent his money andenetgy to initia tive like the Prime Prep Academy, a Dallas, Texas area K-12 charter school slated to open in the fall. He has also spearheaded feeding pro grams in Gedigia and Texas - where he currently resides - that are responsible for feeding 100,000 school aged chilcken in free and reduced lunch programs daily.

Locals make case for four more years BY LAYLAGARMS THE CHRONICLE President Obama officially kicked off his reelection cam paign on Saturday during a spirited rally at a university in the battleground state of Ohio. Two days before that, local resi dents Ken Hart and Alex Prada held a rally of their own, tout ing what they see as the president's positive economic poli cies. Prada and Hart opened Caffe Prada - a~popular Fourth and Broad streets conee shop known for its mouth-water ing gelato and baked goods - in 2008, realizing a long held deam. 'The redevelopment of downtown was happening and we thought this would be a perfect comer to have a cafd where people could gather with friend and have a good time," said Prada, who began making gelato when he was five years old. "The proximity to the base ball stadium made it a very good spot for us." But it has not been Easy Street for Prada and Hart. They have weathered the storm of an uncertain econo my and even faced the threat of having to close down at one time because the financial bur den was so great. Today, business is looking up. The company recently hired two new employees and hopes to expand its stall even further during the busy summer season. Though the economy is far from being on solid footing. Hart, a Miami native, says he believes things are looking up. "I think the worst is behind us," said Hart, who added that the caff's customer base is growing again and he's beginning to see "sold" signs on properties in the surrounding neighbor hood. "...We're definitely not in the same situation we were in in 2008, coming from eight years of a Republican presidency."
