CAN’T ENTER DAUGHTER’S ROOMDear Gwendolyn: After my divorce I immediately met another man who showered me with love -at least that’s what I thought at first. He moved into my house three weeks after we met. This is the problem: I don’t have time to concen-trate on my new relationship because my concerns are towards my daughter. For the past year my 14 year-old daughter forbids me to enter her bedroom. Two weeks ago when I went to her door to knock, I heard a man’s voice. It sounded like my man’s voice. Later that night when I asked her if my boyfriend was in her room, she replied, “If so? So what?” Gwendolyn, I fear she is on the internet caught up with all the junk teenagers are into these days. I want to be one of the ‘new age’ moms, but I can’t decide to be strict or open-minded. Jill

Dear Jill: I can decide for you. But first let me tell you this: Parents need to remove the computer from their child’s bedroom. Too many teenagers have gone on the chat lines and met death. Think about it. There is nothing wrong with being considered an obsolete mom. There are a few things you can do: Take her to a prison facility for women and there she will get the opportunity to see beautiful smart and some even intelligent women wasting away. At 14 you should have never given her privacy. Fourteen is actually still the age of a child - but unfortunately a child trying to be an adult. I think you need to watch carefully your new man. If the voice you heard in your daughter’s room sounded like your man, there is a strong possibility it was. Don’t turn your attention away from this matter. And do not allow your daughter to be 14 saying, “If so? So what? Be firm with her and remember children and teenagers these days harm their parents without remorse. Be careful. Jill, giving your child privacy at a too young age is not good. With the internet no parent knows who is lurking … behind the door.

By Robert Henderson Jr.

For the first time in our history, America’s credit rating is being threatened with a downgrade. Even if an agreement is reached in Congress to raise the debt limit, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating remains likely, unless an agreement to reduce the deficit is also reached. Of course, these are the same rating agencies that gave AAAs to the complex securities that fueled the hous-ing bubble. But their ratings matter, regardless. Everyone is worried about a default on August 2nd, but actually, a downgrade could be worse, leading to higher mortgage payments, credit card and car payments for any American holding debt, as well as an extra $100 billion in yearly interest payments to U.S. Treasury holders like China. If a downgrade occurs, the financial markets would suffer a huge blow, and Barack Obama’s presidency would clearly be scarred. And then there’s that elephant in the room: that America’s credit will have been downgraded for the first time, with a black man in the White House, potentially reinforcing the stereotype that black people are poor money managers. Have you ever been in a crowded restaurant, engaged in a conversation with a friend or a significant other when sud-denly, you’re abruptly interrupted by the sound of crashing dishes that a waiter has dropped? Then all of a sudden, the next thing you hear -- in unison- from complete strangers, is a round of applause. It’s as if it’s part of our nature to rejoice in destruction. But who would’ve ever believed that the day would come when a number of Americans would be rooting for America to default on its financial obligations? Could the Tea Party freshmen really have that much power (and can they be that crazy?) In reality, this is bigger

than the Tea Party. America has been in debt for a very long time. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think it all started with the first black president. The truth is, Jimmy Carter raised the debt ceiling 9 times from $706 billion to $995 billion and Reagan raised it 18 times, from $995 billion to $2.868 trillion! Where was the uproar from the die-hard Americans then? Next up, George H. W. Bush raised the ceiling 9 times and pushed the debt to $4.351 trillion. Even Clinton raised it 4 times and pushed it to $5.770 trillion. And ladies and gentlemen, no American president -- and no leader in the history of the world -- has spent more and created more debt than George W. Bush. He raised the debt limit 7 times and pushed it to a whopping $11.876 trillion, and again, not so much as a peep from the right. Surely, the die-hards were concerned about the future of the children back then. It seems to me that it’s no coincidence that certain Americans are willing to wreck the country and let millions suffer, but only with this president in office. So what happened? What changed? Greed, politics and Barack Obama in the Oval Office. With corporations holding back job creation, the working man suffers. And when the working man suffers, they tend to blame whoever’s in the White House. The fiscal crisis is a political opportunity for some who, like Senate Minor-ity Leader Mitch McConnell and Congresswomen Michele Bachmann, have made preventing Obama from having a second term their top priority. And yet I’m reminded of what my grandmother used to say: “If you’re planning to dig a hole for someone, be careful -- you might just fall into the hole yourself.” It’s time for Republicans to put the shovel down.

Garland is home to some of the most talented youths in the nation. Adey-emi Adewuyi proved it on the national stage last week by winning a Bronze medal in Physics during the NAACP’s 2011 ACT-SO national competition in Los Angeles, California. Together, Ceon Rumphs, of Garland High School, Shelmon Smith, of North Garland High School and Adewuyi, of Plano East High School almost crushed national competition. Ceon won two Gold medals in the areas of Instrumental Classical and Instrumental Contemporary during local competition held on the Richland Col-lege last April. Shelmon also won a Gold medal during the local competi-tion and competed at the national competition in vocal contemporary. Adey-emi previously won two Gold Medals in the areas of Physics and Oratory during the local competition and nearly repeated the feat in Los Angeles. “All of these young men competed well, were strong competitors and received favorable evaluations from the judges,” said Dr. Joyce Miller, Youth Advisor of the Garland NAACP. Adeyemi won a Bronze medal for his phys-ics project, “Modeling a Magnetically Targeted Drug Delivery System,” which entitled him to a laptop computer and a $1,500 scholarship. The NAACP ACT-SO

GARLAND YOUTH BRINGS HOME BRONZEprogram is the acronym for (Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scien-tific Olympics) program. “My students did excel-lent, and the three young men who represented Gar-land performed well at the competition, said Miller. “We have just a small repre-sentation of what we have among our talented youth. We probably have more youth that are unidentified about their work and tal-ents. This means that we need to work harder and deeper and publicize the ACT-SO competition more so that a lot more young people will have the oppor-tunity to showcase their

talents and skills to the world.” She went on to say,

Memphis, TN - COGIC Charities, the benevolent arm of the nearly 6.5 mil-lion member Church of God in Christ, will give funds to aid the relief efforts in Japan. A COGIC delegation, led by Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr., will leave for Tokyo at the

Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake. A COGIC del-egation, led by Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr., leaves for Tokyo this week and will meet with Japanese and American officials to discuss the additional needs of the country.

COGIC BISHOP TO VISIT JAPANend of July and meet with Japanese and Amer-ican officials to discuss the additional needs of the country. Bishop Blake will lead a prayer for the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami. He will also host a breakfast for our service-men and women returning from fighting for our free-dom. During the trip, the charity will present a check for $100,000 to help pur-chase rice cookers and any additional items that may be needed. While this is the first time the leader of the fourth largest Protestant and the second largest Pentecos-tal denomination in the US

has traveled to Japan, this is by no means the first time COGIC Charities has aided countries during times of crisis. Since its inception in 2003, the charity has given: $150,000 donation to tsu-nami victims in East Africa through the United Nations Food Agriculture Organi-zation; $100,000 donation to Horn of Africa Relief and Development Organi-zation in Somalia; $1 million donation to Hurri-cane Katrina relief efforts; $50,000 donation for the Uganda Women’s Health Initiative; and $1.1 million to Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort.

Bishop Blake explains, “We Care is not just a slogan for COGIC Charities, but we believe that it is our duty to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and shelter the home-less.” The COGIC jurisdictional bishop of Japan, Bishop Carl D. Hodges, echoed that sentiment. He also states that the COGIC churches in Japan are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Presiding Bishop and his delegation. They are look-ing forward to the oppor-tunity to share with him the great cultural experi-ence that is Japan.

GOD IS FOR ME!!! Psalms 56:9- When I cry unto the, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; God is for me. Psalm 56:10-13 - In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render praise unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?Psalm 23:1-6 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in the green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and staff they comfort me. Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

WASHINGTON, DC- The NAACP and Bank of Amer-ica have announced that they will enhance their partnership through the promotion of greater economic opportunity and advancement of commu-nity economic development throughout the nation. Bank of America, the larg-est bank holding company in

the United States, has agreed to endorse the NAACP’s Responsible Mortgage Lend-ing Principles, including both parties working together to advance fair lending prac-tices. “Bank of America is a strong advocate of responsi-ble lending and is com-mitted to providing more

transparency and clarity to help customers make informed decisions,” said Glenda Gabriel, Neighbor-hood Lending executive for Bank of America. “Our mis-sion is to provide leadership in homebuyer education and one way we can do that is through our strong partner-ship with the NAACP.”

Members of the Mt. Hebron Missionary Baptist Church mission ministry have packed their bags and loaded shipping containers for a two-week mission trip to Lusaka, Zambia. Their stay will last from August

1st through the 13th. The team will be traveling to Zambia in order to support the fund raising efforts of the church’s African Mis-sionaries and will be help-ing the people there with their educational, medical, and housing needs. Mt. Hebron Missionary Baptist Church is led by

Leonard O. Leach. There will be 28 team members of Mt. Hebron Baptist Church attending the Zambia mis-sion trip with Pastor of Evangelism/Missions Cedric Wheaton who will be accompanied by 27 adults and one youth taking part in the special project. “The needs in Zambia are great,” says Rev. Whea-ton. “Zambia is an area that has HIV and the AIDS epi-demic. We are trying to support them with all their needs. In fact, the stuff we have here in the U.S., they do not have over there, like good running-clean water, electricity and access to good health care.”Rev. Wheaton said there are three major reasons why the mission trip is critical. “First of all, we want to show a genuine love for others who may be in need,” he said. “Also, this mission trip increased the need for us to partner with those who are less fortunate in other places. Third, it enhances the appreciation of things our participants already have here in the U.S. that we take for granted. It shows us that no matter how little we think we have, we actually are blessed with so much more than our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world.” The mission team will help in areas such as con-struction research, provid-ing vacation bible school to area orphans, and pro-vide educational informa-tion and counsel to children and women in the area, along with helping with a

UNITY FEST 2011 Diane XavierEDITOR

Mt. Hebron Missionary Baptist Church in Garland is hosting its 6th annual Unity Fest from Fri., Sept., 2 and Sat., Sept. 3. The Unity Festival is being held to bring family, friends, and the commu-nity together. Rev. Cedric Whea-ton, Pastor of Evangelism and Missions for Mt. Hebron, said the event is an important part of the church’s mission. “This is a time to have great fun in the commu-nity while also showcasing our youth talents and local busi-nesses,” Wheaton said. The weekend will include music, games, a carnival, entertain-ment and food for the whole family. The night begins at 6 pm at Mt. Hebron with a fish fry. A gospel jazz fes-tival will also be held at 8 pm at Mt. Hebron by pianist and jazz great Ramsey Lewis who will perform The Gospel according to Ramsey Lewis. On Saturday, there will be a 3-on-3 basketball tournament starting at 7 am. Also, a health fair will also be presented that day. “This year, we expect about 5,000 people to attend the Unity Festival,” Wheaton said. “Last year alone, we had over 4,000 people take part in the day. We will also have the local police and fire departments showcase their group at the Unity Fest. “ The event will also include a blood drive and a talent show put on by youth and Greek organizations such as fraternities and sororities. “The Unity Fest is a great time for everyone, not matter what your age is, to have some good, clean fun,” Wheaton says. “Furthermore, the proceeds from Friday’s events will go towards helping those in need, particularly towards homeless prevention.” The proceeds of the Unity Fest will help the M.U.C.H. ministry, called the Mount Hebron Urban Community Housing program which is a charitable, non-profit organization that helps to prevent homelessness by educating people on how to become self sufficient. The program works with families who have children, to displaced teens, to families with senior adults, and to all families and single adults that have a verifiable need. The M.U.C.H. is separate from Mt. Hebron Missionary Baptist Church. “I don’t know of many homeless prevention programs in our area,” Wheaton said. “This is an important ministry to help our community.” Wheaton encourages everyone to come out for the Unity Fest. “There will be something for everyone,” he said. “We will also have many businesses and vendors who have the opportu-nity to showcase their entity. This is a time for fellowship and good times for our community.” There is no entrance fee.

STAGE PLAY “SOLOMON’S DILEMMA” atre Productions presented Dereque Whiturs’ stage play “Solomon’s Dilemma,” a soul stirring, powerful, inspi-rational and educational play focusing on HIV. Whiturs is the owner and dance instructor of HappyNia Dance Theatre Productions. He was an original principle dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, one of the most renowned dance com-panies in the world. Even though Whiturs

has a heart for youth his pas-sion ran far beyond dance. Whiturs believes that through the arts, song, dance and drama, one can communicate in a way that can be under-stood by all. Whiturs started Nia Dance Theatre in Dallas 8 years ago. He met Taron Webster, director of a com-pany called Happy which means HIV/AIDS Prevention Protecting Yourself in Chi-cago a few years back and the two companies merged to serve in a way of educating youth and adults in African

American communities. His goal, he says, was to dispell the fears and educate. Whiturs chose to educate in an unorthodox way - shar-ing his own life story in his first stage production. While writing this stage play he noticed that he spelled Sol-omon backwards (NOMO-LOS) feeling compelled to leave it that way. Believing that it speaks volume to today’s “backwards genera-tion” towards HIV and AIDS.

sports camp. They will also support four schools and a clinic in the area. “They have no water, no electricity practically,” Pastor Wheaton said. “The average income there is less than $1 a day. They are economically deprived.” Despite the poverties the people of Zambia have to encounter, Wheaton said the people there are still some of the most happiest and thankful people he has come across. “No matter how little they have, they are so joyous,” he said. “Here in the United States, we are blessed with so much, but yet we still get depressed.” Rev. Wheaton said that team members who will be participating in the Zambia Mission trip had some con-cerns, but overall they are excited about helping their brothers and sisters. “Some are fearful, not knowing what to expect culturally and how to deal with health issues, but we required them

Zambia Tripto take medical shots so they can be prepared,” Wheaton said. “Yes, the conveniences of the United States will not be there in Zambia, but really it is a blessing to help

others that are less fortunate. It removes everyone’s fears.” A blog has been created about the mission trip. For anyone wanting to follow how the Mt. Hebron Zambia

NOTICE OF DRAFT FEDERAL OPERATING PERMIT

DRAFT PERMIT NO: O1465

APPLICATION AND DRAFT PERMIT. Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions LLC, 2100 N 1st St, Garland, TX 75040-4102, a Mining Machinery And Equipment facility, has applied to the Texas Commission

on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Federal Operating Permit (herein referred to as Permit) No. O1465, Application No. 15857, to authorize operation of the Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions.

The area addressed by the application is located at Northeast Garland on the corner of Beltline Rd and Crist Rd in Garland, Dallas County, Texas 75040. This application was received by the TCEQ

on December 22, 2010.

The purpose of a federal operating permit is to improve overall compliance with the rules governing air pollution control by clearly listing all applicable requirements, as defined in Title 30 Texas Administrative

Code § 122.10 (30 TAC § 122.10). The draft permit, if approved, will codify the conditions under which the area must operate. The permit will not authorize new construction. The executive director has

completed the technical review of the application and has made a preliminary decision to prepare a draft permit for public comment and review. The executive director recommends issuance of this draft

permit. The permit application, statement of basis, and draft permit will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Central Office, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building E, First Floor, Austin, Texas; the TCEQ

Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Office, 2309 Gravel Dr, Fort Worth, Texas 76118-6951; and the Nicholson Public Library, 625 Austin St, Garland, Texas, beginning the first day of publication of this notice. At the

TCEQ central and regional offices, relevant supporting materials for the draft permit, as well as the New Source Review permits which have been incorporated by reference, may be reviewed and copied. Any

person with difficulties obtaining these materials due to travel constraints may contact the TCEQ central office file room at (512) 239-1540.

PUBLIC COMMENT/NOTICE AND COMMENT HEARING. Any person may submit written comments on the draft permit. Comments relating to the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness

of the permit conditions may result in changes to the draft permit.

A person who may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the permitted area may request a notice and comment hearing. The purpose of the notice and comment hearing is to

provide an additional opportunity to submit comments on the draft permit. The permit may be changed based on comments pertaining to whether the permit provides for compliance with 30 TAC

Chapter 122 (examples may include that the permit does not contain all applicable requirements or the public notice procedures were not satisfied). The TCEQ may grant a notice and comment hearing

on the application if a written hearing request is received within 30 days after publication of the newspaper notice. The hearing request must include the basis for the request, including a description

of how the person may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the application area. The request should also specify the conditions of the draft permit that are inappropriate or specify

how the preliminary decision to issue or deny the permit is inappropriate. All reasonably ascertainable issues must be raised and all reasonably available arguments must be submitted by the end of

the public comment period. If a notice and comment hearing is granted, all individuals that submitted written comments or a hearing request will receive written notice of the hearing. This notice

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

spread the good work about this scholarship program, it helps us greatly.” The ACT-SO program was founded by Vernon Jar-rett, an African American journalist, over thirty years ago. Vernon Jarrett wanted to develop a program for gifted and talented youth who could excel academi-cally and win the same types of accolades and recognition as gifted athletes. The pro-gram consists of over 25 categories of participation ranging from the Human-ities, to Visual and Per-forming Arts, Sciences and Entrepreneurship. Students

who score 95 or more points during the local com-petition win the Gold Medal which entitles them to com-pete at the national compe-tition which is held prior to the NAACP national con-vention. “It means a lot to these young men who participated because they have the oppor-tunity to reach out to other young people so that they

can also measure their skills and talents and those of others who they interacted with,” Miller said. “They found out that the people they competed with are just as talented as they and everyone did their best.” “This is especially mean-ingful to the city of Garland because it was announced during the awards ceremony that out of Garland comes

some extremely talented young people who are focused and who want to achieve in doing well,” Miller said. Recruitment for Garland’s 2012 program is underway. High School students who would like to participate in this program should contact Dr. Joyce Miller at [email protected] or 972-345-5386.
