This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month.
September was a whirlwind of activity, as we prepared for the premiere of Loserville the Film. Chris was involved in promotion of the movie that he starred in, and we booked our trips and packed for Hollywood to attend the premiere on September 29th. Also, at the beginning of the Month, my husband and I traveled to his niece’s wedding. Chris and I kept to our previous goals, but did not make new goals until October.
In October, my new goal was to eat five fruits and vegetables a day.

My guest writer this week is my beloved husband, Russ Bellant. He has been researching and writing on topics related to this article for over 40 years. He has published three books and numerous articles in such publications as the New York Times, the National Catholic Reporter, the Toronto Star, the Texas Observer and the Detroit Metro Times.
Fred Trump Sr. was arrested in 1927 in a fight between 100 New York City police officers and 1,000 Ku Klux Klan members during a Memorial Day parade (New York Times June 1, 1927, p. 16). It was an era of Klan growth when they fought to keep Irish, Poles, Italians from immigrating to the U.S. As was a common practice years ago, the newspaper published his home address as 175-24 Devonshire, Jamaica, Queens, New York City. Fred Trump had built that two story home there two years earlier and ran his real estate business from there. He married in 1936 and began a family.
In 1946 Fred’s 4th child, Donald, was born in Jamaica, Queens. He was raised in Queens in his father’s real estate/ landlord business. Their practice was to rent to whites only. So determined were the Trump’s in upholding their racist practices that one of their tenants, folksinger Woodie Guthrie, wrote a poem in 1950 with lines denouncing “Old Man Trump” and the “racial hate that he stirred up.”
