pressionist was jailed for

to a Las Vegas under
cover agent. He was sen
tenced to 20 years in
prison.
Now , after being
released and on
probation, this versatile
entertainer is making a
comeback.
Kirby talks about his
battle with drugs and
prison life on the up
coming edition of Tony
Brown’s Journal, entitled
“George Kirby Presents
King Heroin.”
Since leaving prison,
Kirby has been working
to resurrect his career.
Because of his own addic

waging a campaign to
educate and rehabilitate
drug addicts.
As an outgrowth, Kir
by has added a new
character to his litany of
impressions: “King
Heroin,” a chilling
dramatization of the
destructive impact of
drugs. On the program,
Kirby brings to life the
diabolical force called
“king Heroin.”
The nation’s longest
running, top-ranked
Black-Affairs television
series has been sponsored
by Pepsi-Cola Company
for nine consecutive
years. Televised
nationally on public
television (PBS), the
program will be seen in
this area on WCES-20 at
7:30 p.m. Oct. 18.
“I got involved in

dealing with drugs which
I had no business doing,
but out of desperation to
save some material
things, 1 did it,” confides
Kirby to Host Tony
Brown. “I learned a
terrific lesson behind
that, and that lesson is to
think three or four times
before you do anything
that is unlawful.
“I say that to each and
everybody in this entire
country and over the
world. Think three or
four times before you do
anything wrong because
they made an example
out of me. Because of my
name, they let everybody
know, ‘We don’t care
who you are. From now
on, if you’re involved in
something, we’re gonna
sock it to you; we’re gon
na put you away.*”

professional
help in developing finan

In fact, for most people,
the enormous array of new
financial products
available has made sound
financial planning vir
tually impossible without
professional help.
Providing this service is
a relatively new group of
professionals known as
financial planners. They
are available to virtually
anyone, but the question
is where and how to find
a good one.
Perhaps the first step is
to ask for a referral from
people you know and
trust. The fastest way
i may be to ask your attor
ney or accountant, or ask
your friends.
Financial planners
have varied background
and specialties; some may
suit your needs better
than others. A financial
planner can be an attor
ney or accountant, or a
full-time planner certified
by one of several
professional organiza
tions. He or she may also
be affiliated with a finan
cial services company and
act as a sales represen
tative for one or more
financial products.
One type of financial
planner is not necessarily
better than another. The
good ones realize that the
better advice they give,
the more they will
develop trust with their
clients. The key is to ask
hard questions and check
his or her reputation
carefully.
One important
question for example, is
who are his or her clients?
Be sure to ask, then

see if his or her clients are
satisfied.
You may also want to
ask about the total
amount of assets the
planner handles and how
many clients he or she
works with. If either an
swer is in the extreme, be
cautious.
If, for instance, he or
she seems to have too
many clients, be sure to
determine the amount of
time he or she can
devote to you and your
financial planning.
A related question is
whether you can expect to
be provided with regular
update on new financial
opportunities or periodic
reviews of your financial
plan and its performance.
These can be very helpful
given the recent
proliferation of invest
ment vehicles and a con
stantly changing
economy.
Then, of course, there
is the question of fees.
Financial plans can cost
as little as S2OO or as
much as SSOOO or more.
The fee usually depends
on the complexity of the
plan. But you will want to
know if it will be a flat
fee, a fee plus com
mission or a fee
calculated on an hourly
basis.
If your planner also
sells investment products,
his or her fee may be less,
saving you money. If this
is the case though, be sure
he or she. represents a
wide range of products,
not just a few that he or
she is likely to push.
The important thing is
don’t be intimidated,
shop around. Investigate.
Consider taking advan

ticles, books and
seminars currently
available on financial
planning. And remem
ber, the key to a good
i choice is determining
whether the planner has
