2025-03-25Tommy Ford was born in Yonkers, New York, and raised in Long Beach, California. His parents worked as a school secretary and a pipe-fitter. As a child, Ford wanted to be a preacher. When he took drama lessons and started acting in high school plays, he decided to go into acting instead. After earning Associate of Arts degree from Long Beach City College in 1985, Ford transferred to the University of Southern California, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting. In Martin, Tommy Ford played Tommy Strawn who was, at times, the straight man for Martin Lawrence’s jokes, but he very often inserted scene-stealing “bald-headed logic” and witty comments in odd situations. Also, his character was often the subject of many jokes regarding his mysterious employment status though Tisha Campbell-Martin revealed he was a counselor and presumably unemployed after Ford complained that his character lacked development. Ford received an NAACP Image Awards nomination in 1996 in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. After Martin ended, Ford found success in the detective drama New York Undercover. Ford played the role of Lieutenant Malcolm Barker. Ford appeared on the UPN sitcom The Parkers in the recurring role of Nikki’s ex-husband and Kim’s father, Mel Parker, in seven episodes. He played Ben Cummings in The Power of Passion as one of the characters whose wife cheats on him with the pastor. He was also known as “The Pope of Comedy”, due to exposure as a judge on TV One’s comedy competition show Bill Bellamy’s Who’s Got Jokes?In film, Tommy Ford appeared in the Kid ‘n Play movie Class Act as Mink. In Harlem Nights, he played Tommy Smalls, the brother of Arsenio Hall’s character. He can also be seen in the 1997 crime drama Against the Law. In 1993, Ford directed and produced the play South of Where We Live, which was about six African-American professionals who return to the communities where they were raised and learn about the social issues that now exist. The play was performed at the Los Angeles Ebony Showcase Theatre, the oldest black theater in the country. Ford chose the Ebony Showcase in order to raise money for the theater, which was in danger of closing. The same year, he directed the play Jonin’, a comedy about fraternity life at a historically black college in Washington, D.C. Ford co-hosted the Texas Gospel Music Awards in 1993 with singer Yolanda Adams and actor Troy Curvey. In 1998, Ford founded a 501 nonprofit organization called Be Still and Know. The organization’s mission was to build better communities for youth. Ford wrote two inspirational books for children, titled “Positive Attitude” and “I am Responsible for Me”. Ford spent time traveling to schools to inspire and empower children and encourage responsibility. Tommy Ford died on October 12, 2016, at an Atlanta area hospital after an aneurysm in his abdomen ruptured. He was 54.
2025-03-25Of Isengard's attacks and none could be sent to Minas Tirith's defense. Meanwhile, Sauron sent his allies, the Corsairs of Umbar to attack Gondor's populous southern coastal fiefdoms, which as a result could send only a fraction of their forces to defend Minas Tirith, while the rest stayed on the coasts preparing for the Corsair assault. At the apex of Sauron's incursion into Gondor was the ancient, ruined city of Osgiliath which straddled both sides of the Anduin River and lay right in front of the mountain pass which served as the entrance to the lands of Mordor. The city was defended stoutly by the local garrison and the Rangers of Ithilien but the defenders were massively outnumbered by the Morgul-host Sauron would throw against them.RohanMain article: Battles of the Fords of IsenThe first main moves War of the Ring started in Rohan when a detachment of Saruman's troops crossed the Fords of Isen. Warned by good intelligence reports, Théodred, the son of the King, Théoden, secretly mustered his forces and rode with them to the fords in order to launch a surprise attack against the enemy. On February 23, TA 3019 he attacked the vanguard of the Orc forces marching out of Isengard in the First Battle of the Fords of Isen. The Rohirrim however had misjudged their position and reinforcements were quickly deployed from Isengard by Saruman, forcing Théodred to order a retreat. His forces withdrew to a small island at the Fords of Isen, but they had no time to rest before they were surrounded and in the process, Theodred was killed. Grimbold managed to hold the island, but would not have succeeded if Elfhelm had not come with reinforcements from Helm's Deep and because the Uruk-hai immediately withdrew following Théodred's death. Thus the First Battle of the Fords of Isen ended in a costly victory for the Rohirrim.Now that the Second Marshal of the Mark was dead, Erkenbrand took command of the Westfold. He placed Grimbold and Elfhelm at the Fords. However, they were unable to withstand the forces of Isengard and were outflanked and then

2025-04-23Regular visits to victory lane. These are but a few of the traits associated with the racing Wymans that the local racing fans have witnessed over the past five decades. Our Dirt Driver Spotlight focuses on the man now leading his long family racing heritage through the 21st century.Mark Wyman, the third in a family of six brothers, was born on Halloween Day, 1960 in Fremont, Nebraska to Jim and Shirley Wyman. Hegrew up south of Fremont until the age of ten. Mark spent many weekends and holidays during his childhood at the local racetracks watching his dad wheel the #14 Late Model on the dirt. "Gentleman Jim," as he was known in those days, started racing stock cars in the late 50's and battled weekly against drivers such as Bob Kosiski, Dave Chase, Bill Martin, Glenn Robey, Jack Golder, and Keith Leithoff. Jim was among the best in the business, winning numerous A Features, including a streak of 11 in a row, as well as several Track Championships during his career. He piloted Fords while many of the other top racers drove Chevrolets. "I grew up with a big Ford versus Chevy, Wyman versus Kosiski rivalry," Mark says. "It still remains that way today!" Although the racing was fierce on the track, the camaraderie between the racers was close in the pits with each of them willing to help the others out when needed. "One of my favorite 'old days' memories is when my dad's car broke one Sunday night at Sunset, and Bill Martin let him drive his Chevelle," Mark remembers.The Wyman family moved to Oakland, Iowa in 1970 when Jim, who was previously a carpenter, made a career change and became a car salesman. Jim sold Fords for two years at Baller's Ford Center and also raced
