Boot Camp Drives Discipline Home

April 6, 2002|By Susannah Bryan Staff Writer

LAUDERHILL — They look like tiny soldiers: 23 children, shoulders squared, eyes forward, standing at attention in Veterans Park -- but their parents say they are little rebels.

They don't do their homework, talk back in class and hang with a bad crowd.

A boot camp-style program run by Lauderhill Police Department's Youth Services Unit may shake these kids straight, their parents hope. For $105 each, their children have entered a new world, one where discipline rules, where each child is known more by a number than a name.

"On your face!" yells Sgt. C.J. Fifer as the kids, Cadets 1 through 23, drop to pushup position on Day 3 of the five-day Police Impact Program.

Officer Pete Weaver is the mastermind behind the program, which the department offered to kids throughout Broward County for the first time this week. Two more are planned this summer.

Unwilling recruits

The kids, ages 9 to 16, are all boys save for one girl. Each has medical clearance to attend.

Latoya Williams, 14, Cadet No. 22, is keeping up with the boys on their morning run, but a straggler is falling behind.

"Barf, why are you walking?" Fifer yells at the boy, who earned his nickname after vomiting his first day in camp.

Instructors lead the cadets through an hour of marching, running and sit-ups. The game of intimidation has put fear in some. Others remain defiant. One slacker is sent inside to stand in the corner.

"You wanna quit?" Fifer booms at a whimpering boy. "You are a soft, weak-minded baby! I can make you better! The only thing you need to do is do what I tell you to do when I tell you to do it!"

"I don't want to quit, sir," the boy answers. But he doesn't want to run, either. Fifer walks him through the field holding his hand. Later, Fifer vows: "I will make him believe in himself by the end of the week."

The boy, Cadet No. 20, a.k.a. Robert Friedland, 12, gets an early release to the showers. He was scared before he came here, and he is still.

The first day, his instructors report, he threatened to call an attorney. Said it wasn't legal to make kids run. He keeps coming back, even though the running makes him vomit. He is here, he says, because his parents care about him.

Robert's dad, Roger Friedland of Lauderhill, has had to call the police to get Robert to go to school. Robert, a seventh-grader at West Pine Middle School in Sunrise, refused to go. Things are different now.

"The first day, he said he wished he could go back in time and change things," Friedland says, "so he didn't have to go through this."

Another Lauderhill parent says she too has noticed a change in her son, Nikolas, 10, a fifth-grader at Village Elementary in Lauderhill. "The first day he came home, he told me he loved me," says Samantha Diaz. "I burst into tears. I had to leave the room. I didn't want him to see."

In class, Nikolas, Cadet No. 14, groans, sore from all the exercise. Fifer leans in close. "How old are you?" he asks the boy. "Ten," the boy answers.

Fifer growls back: "You're not old enough to be sore. I'm 40 years old, and I'm keeping up. What's your problem?"

Real images

On Wednesday, Weaver talks to the kids about gang violence. A member of a countywide gang task force, Weaver asks how many have been asked to join a gang. Four hands go up.

A focus on the Bible

The student has turned to the Bible.  HEre are some stories that are currently being studied.

In the Summer of 1967 Andrew Lloyd Webber was asked by Alan Doggett (Head of the Music Department, St Paul's Junior School) to write a 'pop cantata' for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert. Andrew approached his friend Tim Rice to write lyrics for the project. Tim suggested the story of Joseph. The first performance of Joseph J*Company: Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Educational Guide 3 and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was March 1, 1968 at the Old Assembly Hall, Colet Court, Hammersmith. Accompanied by the school orchestra and conducted by Alan Doggett the performance was only 15 minutes long. The second performance was arranged on May 12, 1968 at Central Hall, Westminster. The audience of approximately 2,500 consisted mainly of parents of the Colet Court boys and so you can see this production had it’s beginnings in youth theatre. The third performance: November 9, 1968 was at St Paul's Cathedral. Decca released an album of the St Paul's Cathedral version of Joseph…Dreamcoat in January 1969. After the Decca recording hit the charts Andrew and Tim were immediately offered a management contract—which would guarantee them support for three years in return for a share of their income. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice went on to write Jesus Christ Superstar. After much picketing by religious groups deeming the work sacrilegious, and since there is no such thing as bad publicity, Jesus Christ Superstar sky-rocketed to success which enabled Joseph…Dreamcoat to continue to grow. An American marketing campaign for Joseph…Dreamcoat came out implying it was the follow-up to Jesus Christ Superstar; and the Joseph…Dreamcoat album stayed in the charts for three months.


From WIKIPEDIA

Act I[edit]

The story is based on the Biblical story of Joseph, found in the Book of Genesis. It is set in a frame in which a narrator is telling a story (sometimes to children, encouraging them to dream). She then tells the story of Joseph, another dreamer ("Prologue," "Any Dream Will Do"). In the beginning of the main story Jacob and his 12 sons are introduced ("Jacob and Sons"). Joseph's brothers are jealous of him for his coat of many colours, a symbol of their father's preference for him ("Joseph's Coat"). It is clear from Joseph's dreams that he is destined to rule over them ("Joseph's Dreams"). To get rid of him and prevent the dreams from coming true, they attempt fratricide, but then they sell Joseph as a slave to some passing Ishmaelites ("Poor, Poor Joseph"), who take him to Egypt.

Back home, his brothers, led by Reuben (Levi in the original Broadway production) and accompanied by their wives, break the news to Jacob that Joseph has been killed. They show his tattered coat smeared with his blood – really goat blood – as proof that what they say is true ("One More Angel in Heaven"). After the bereft Jacob leaves, the brothers and their wives happily celebrate the loss of Joseph.

In Egypt, Joseph is the slave of Egyptian millionaire Potiphar. He rises through the ranks of slaves and servants until he is running Potiphar's house. When Mrs. Potiphar makes advances, Joseph spurns her. She removes his shirt, feels his chest and back, squeezes his rear and blows him kisses. Potiphar overhears, barges in, sees the two together – and jumps to conclusions ("Potiphar"). Outraged, he throws Joseph in jail. Depressed, Joseph laments the situation ("Close Every Door") – but his spirits rise when he helps two prisoners put in his cell. Both are former servants of the Pharaoh and both have had bizarre dreams. Joseph interprets them. One cellmate, the Baker, will be executed, but the other, the Butler, will be returned to service. Upon hearing this, the rest of the prisoners surround Joseph and encourage him to go after his dreams ("Go, Go, Go Joseph").

Act II[edit]

The Narrator tells of impending changes in Joseph's fortunes ("A Pharaoh Story") because the Pharaoh is having dreams that no one can interpret. Now freed, the Butler tells Pharaoh (acted in the style of Elvis Presley) of Joseph and his dream-interpretation skills ("Poor, Poor Pharaoh"). Pharaoh orders Joseph to be brought in and the king tells him his dream involving seven fat cows, seven skinny cows, seven healthy ears of corn, and seven dead ears of corn ("Song of the King").

Joseph interprets the dream as seven plentiful years of crops followed by seven years of famine ("Pharaoh's Dreams Explained"). An astonished Pharaoh puts Joseph in charge of carrying out the preparations needed to endure the impending famine, and Joseph becomes the most powerful man in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh himself ("Stone the Crows"). (In the 2007 London revival, Pharaoh has a new song, "King of my Heart").

Back home, the famine has caught up with Joseph's brothers, who, led Simeon, express regret at selling him and deceiving their father ("Those Canaan Days"). They hear that Egypt still has food and decide to go there to beg for mercy and to be fed ("The Brothers Come to Egypt"), not realising that they will be dealing with Joseph ("Grovel, Grovel"). Joseph gives them sacks of food, but plants a golden cup in the sack of his youngest brother, Benjamin. When the brothers try to leave, Joseph stops them, asking about the "stolen cup". Each brother empties his sack, and it is revealed that Benjamin has the cup. Joseph then accuses Benjamin of robbery ("Who's the Thief?"). The other brothers, led by Judah, (Naphtali in the original Broadway Production) beg for mercy for Benjamin, imploring that Joseph take them prisoner and set Benjamin free ("Benjamin Calypso").

Seeing their selflessness and penitence, Joseph reveals himself ("Joseph All the Time") and sends for his father. The two are reunited ("Jacob in Egypt") for a happy conclusion and Joseph dons his coloured coat once more ("Finale: Any Dream Will Do (Reprise)/Give Me My Coloured Coat").

In some productions, the finale is followed by a rock/disco medley of most of the musical's major numbers ("Joseph Megamix").

Characters[edit]

• Narrator: A woman (in original productions, a man), not of the time or place of the action. The Narrator tells the story through word and song, guiding the audience gently through the story of Joseph and his brothers, usually gives meaning to the story with her/his words.
• Jacob: The father of twelve sons, his favourite being Joseph. At times he may appear unfair and shallow, but he is, more importantly, the prophet who recognises the future and the calling of Joseph, thus saving the House of Israel. Usually doubles as Potiphar.
• Joseph: Eleventh son of Jacob. Obviously his father’s favourite, Joseph early on shows a talent for interpreting dreams and telling the future. This gets him into trouble with his brothers when he predicts his future will include ruling over the other eleven. However, it saves his life when in Egypt he correctly interprets Pharaoh’s dreams. In the end he has risen to a great position of power, but he still forgives his brothers and brings his family to Egypt to partake of the bounty he has accumulated there.
• Ishmaelites: Men of the desert, they buy Joseph as a slave, take him to Egypt, and sell him to Potiphar.
• Potiphar: A powerful and rich Egyptian, Potiphar purchases Joseph and puts him to work in his household, where he soon realises that Joseph is honest, hard-working, and a great addition to his pool of help. When he grows suspicious of Mrs. Potiphar and Joseph, however, he grows angry and has Joseph thrown into prison. Usually played by the actor playing Jacob.
• Mrs. Potiphar: Beautiful and scheming, Mrs. Potiphar tries to seduce Joseph, but is unsuccessful. However, she does manage to rip off much of his clothing just as her husband comes into the room, thus condemning him to prison. Also plays one of the wives.
• Baker: One of Pharaoh servants, the Baker is in prison with Joseph who correctly interprets his dreams and predicts that he will be put to death. Played by one of the brothers.
• Butler: Another of Pharaoh servants, the Butler is also in prison with Joseph who also correctly interprets his dreams, this time that he will be released and taken back into Pharaoh's household. It is the Butler who tells Pharaoh about Joseph and his uncanny ability with dreams. Played by one of the brothers.
• Pharaoh: The most powerful man in Egypt, Pharaoh is considered a god on earth. When Joseph interprets his dreams, he promotes him to one of the highest positions in his government. In most productions, Pharaoh is portrayed as an Elvis Presley-style figure. Sometimes played by one of the brothers.
• Joseph's Eleven Brothers: Although acting usually as a group, they each have their own different personalities, talents, and flaws. As a group they sell Joseph into slavery, but as individuals they deal with the following years and how they can make amends. They sing and dance their way through many situations and places. The brothers also double as Egyptians and servants of Potiphar.
