“I’M TIRED OF PEOPLE TELLING MY DAUGHTER …” Dear Gwendolyn:

My sister, her friends, my friends and my church family keep telling my daughter to get a college degree. My daughter finished high school and the manager of a fast food restaurant. My nephew finished col-lege and my cousin’s daughter finished college. They are both unemployed. So in my opinion my daughter is doing better than they are. Am I right or wrong? Phyllis

Dear Phyllis:

Because of parents like you, children miss oppor-tunities they later wish had been accomplished years earlier. Let me tell you this: The unemployment rate remains at an all-time high - degree or no degree. When the economic crisis is over, those with degrees will receive top offers with top pay. Your daughter is only making enough money to stay at home, ride public transportation or possibly pur-chase a “lemon” of a car - that’s all period. You don’t agree but your daughter needs to go beyond high school with her education. However, she can not get her mind together because your mind is small and one-sided. Phyllis, think about it. It is better to have a college degree when needed, than to need it ----- and don’t have it.

Summer 2011 is being considered one of the hottest summers ever here in North Texas. As a result, cities such as Garland did what they could to conserve elec-tricity so that we can save our power resources. The scorching temperatures have left many residents to use extra electricity in order to cool off and survive the heat. With high temperatures in the forecast for the rest of this summer, Garland Power & Light and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) want to ensure that the city of Garland and other cities have a reliable electric grid and efficient electricity market in order to avoid rotating blackouts. During the first two weeks in August, ERCOT along with the Garland Power &

RESIDENTS BEING ASKED TO CONSERVE ENERGY Light company asked resi-dents and businesses to con-serve power at their homes and businesses.Several area businesses, resi-dents and schools followed the recommendations and starting saving their energy resources. “A lot of people in Garland had their lights dimmed when they didn’t need full lights and a lot of businesses and schools also saved energy by not over using their air condition units,” said Elizabeth Kim-brough, Communications

Manager for the Garland Power & Light company. “There was a high aware-ness for the need to con-serve.”“People can continue to con-serve but because the tem-peratures have gone down a few degrees, it really has helped the state demand,” she said. Dottie Roark, Media Rela-tions Director for ERCOT, said that the electric grid is looking better and better as the temperatures come down.

After 25 years of fund-raising, planning and orga-nizing the dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 28, 2011. According to organizers, the finale celebration prom-ises to be a historic event for the U.S. and nations around the world, as Dr. King’s vision and timeless beliefs continue to resonate with people of all lands. The dedication ceremony will be the culmination of a week of events, inspired by the establishment of a permanent honor to one of the nation’s greatest citizen leaders. World leaders, civil rights pioneers, citizens who remember the hard days of segregation and those leading the next generation closer to Dr. King’s dream, will assem-ble together for the long-awaited celebration and remembrance. Dr. King was a profound teacher, whose lessons were anchored in the primacy of human dignity. He enacted irreversible social change and led our country for-ward, relying exclusively on non-violent means. “The Memorial will be a lasting tribute to Dr. King’s legacy and will forever serve as a monument to the free-dom, opportunity and jus-tice for which he stood,” says Harry E. Johnson, Sr.President & CEO Wash-ington, DC Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial

Project Foundation, Inc. “We are thrilled that we will be dedicating the

WHO IS THE GREATEST? The disciples asked who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven! Jesus replied the little children. (Matthew 18:1-4) There is no such thing as groan children when God gets hold of you. There is no such thing as want to them who trust the Lord. (Mark 11:24, Psalms 34:10) On any line of your principle of your faith you must have something established in you. (1 John 5:14-15) And there is no establishment outside God’s Word for you. Everything else is sand. (Matthew 7:26-27) If you build upon anything else but the Word of God, on imagination, sentimentality, or any feelings, or any special joy, it will mean nothing without you have a foundation, and the foundation will have to be in the Word of God. When we really get in the will of God, He can make our enemies to be at peace with us. (Proverbs 16:7) It is wonderful. We must grasp new realities, we must cease from our murmurings; we must get into the place of triumph and exaltation. It is true we are preaching to you divine power that can raise you up and God can set you free from all your weakness. God wants you to know how to take the victory and shout in the face of the devil and say, “Lord, it is done”. (Acts 4:24, 31) Dare you leap into the power of faith? Dare you take your inheritance in God? Dare you believe God? Dare you stand upon the record of His Word? If thou wilt believe thou shall see the Glory of God. “….all thing are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23). God will do great things for us if we are prepared to receive them from Him. The Bible is the Word of God: supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in valor, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interests, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, and then pass it on. Truly it is the Word of God. It brings into man the personality of God; it changes the man until he becomes the epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes His character, takes him on from grace to grace, and gives him an inheritance in the spirit. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sups with him. Faith is the living principle of the Word of God. (Hebrew 11:1-6) You are strengthen because He is strong. You are made whole because He is whole. We are all receiving blessing because of the faith of Abraham. (Romans 4:18-20)

worked to build, to the people. Dr. King, his life, his dream, and his legacy, will be a source of history and inspiration for all people, for all time,” said Johnson. “I’m very much looking forward to cel-ebrating this momentous event with my fellow Amer-icans and people around the world who understand what this memorial stands for, and the relevance of Dr. King’s message.” The Martin Luther King,

Jr. National Memorial is the first on the National Mall to honor a man of hope, a man of peace, and a man of color. Located on the Tidal Basin, the National Memo-rial creates a visual line of leadership between the Lin-coln and Jefferson Memo-rials. The memorial will be an engaging landscape experience conveying four fundamental and recurring themes throughout Dr. King’s life - democracy, justice, hope, and love - and features the use of natural elements including water,

stone, and trees. A 450-foot inscription wall will feature more than a dozen Dr. King quotes engraved into granite to serve as a lasting testa-ment and reminder of Dr. King’s humanitarian vision. The memorial will include the “Mountain of Despair” and the “Stone of Hope,” which will feature a 30-foot sculpture of Dr. King. The main entrance through the crescent-shaped inscription wall is aligned along the axis of the Jef-ferson and Lincoln Memo-rials, placing this memorial

directly in line with the larger democratic ideals that form the context for King’s words and deeds. The memorial is envisioned as a quiet and receptive space, yet at the same time, powerful and emo-tionally evocative, reflect-ing the spirit of the message Dr. King delivered and the role he played in society. The King Memorial is intended to be personally transformative for visitors, building a sense of com-

GARLAND RESIDENT WINS $1,000 FROM DUNKIN’ DONUTS

Garland resident Alberto Saucedo, on the far left, was surprised with a $1,000 check on Thursday, August 11 at the Dunkin’ Donuts on Preston Road.The prize was part of a promotion to introduce Dunkin’ K-cup portion packs, for single- serve Keurig coffee makers. Alberto also won a Keurig and a year’s worth of Dunkin K-cup portion packs. Pictured with Alberto Saucedo is Shana Young and Kelley Gregorio, from Dunkin’ Donuts and Cuppy the Dunkin’Donuts Coffee cup.

mitment to the promise of positive change and active citizenship. Drawing from Dr. King’s own rich metaphorical language, the themes of “the Man, the Movement and the Mes-sage” are intertwined into a larger experience of place. Dr. Martin Luther King is remembered as a great orator whose impact on the nation came from the eloquence and inspirational quality of his words. His speeches, sermons and public addresses melded themes of democracy deeply embedded in the American conscience, and reinvigorated these messages with clear and insightful reflections on the true meaning of justice and equality. Within the memorial, quotes from Dr. King’s ser-mons and speeches, are inscribed at a large scale on the smooth surfaces of the inscription wall. These passages will be reinforced through the referential use of water, stone, landscaping and light as metaphorical elements that heighten an awareness of his message. All of the senses will be engaged through the experi-ence of the memorial, and, foremost, through the visual perception of space, using contrast and juxtaposition, scale and height and the bold display of carefully selected words expressing his spirit. The inspirational text and the mood created by the sound of the water, its cooling mists, and the

visual complexity of the contrasting rough and smooth surfaces of stone, the gradual changes in grade and the patterns of light and darkness will dramatically underscore the visual sense of the man and the qualities of courage, conviction and leadership that characterize his life and work. Added to these powerful sensory experiences will be a sculptural representation of Dr. King himself. This is not conceived of as a pure figurative depiction of his physical being, separate and apart from other elements, but rather would give another dimension and layer of meaning to the experience of the memorial as a whole. Dr. King will appear as an integral part of the “Stone of Hope”, as if he embodies the stone itself. He will be positioned on the side of the stone facing the Jefferson Memorial and will be gradually revealed as part of the procession towards the Tidal Basin. The official dedication will occur on the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. King’s historic I Have A Dream speech, beginning with a pre-dedication concert at 10 a.m. The dedication ceremony will commence at 11 a.m. and a post-dedication concert will follow beginning at 2 p.m.

POP QUIZ As summer draws to a close, students, teachers and parents prepare for the annual back to school ritual. However, each group prepares for the return from a different perspective. For students, aside from returning to a day of orga-nized instruction and structure, it means connecting with friends and classmates. It also means getting back to the grind of studying, learning and preparing for the many tests that they will take throughout the school year. While students may be prepared for the many expected encounters, there will also be those unexpected encounters. One such unexpected factor is the ominous ever surprising “pop quiz”. Just as the student goes to school and is constantly learning, constantly encountering situations, and con-stantly being tested, so is everyone who lives. It has been said that life is like school, one giant classroom. As we live each day, we are continually learning, constantly encountering different situations and are constantly being tested. And just like the student in school, we’re occa-sionally confronted with the ever foreboding “pop quiz”, that unexpected situation that catches us by surprise. And just like many students in school, our initial response is often a feeling of fear or inadequacy. God’s Divine Plans reminds us that we shall endure many trials in this life. 1 Peter 1:7 says, “These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure.” “It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold, and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold.” “So, if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” God’s word also tells us that we are not to be fearful of any situation, not even the “pop quizzes” in our life, but we are to put our trust in him. For God has not given us a spirit of fear. Scripture reminds us of all these things. Joshua 1:9 says, “Do not be afraid or discouraged.” “For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline.” Finally, just as any good student must be ready and prepared for testing at any time, the Lord expects each of us to be ready for testing at any time, for we will be continually tested until Jesus returns.

$46.6 MILLION FOR TEXAS SMALL BUSINESSES WASHINGTON, D.C. - Last week, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the approval of Texas’ State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) application. Texas’ planned use of the SSBCI funds will help create new private sector jobs and spur more than $466 million in addi-tional small-businesses lending in that state. The SSBCI pro-gram, which supports state-level, small-business lending programs, is an important com-ponent of the Small Business Jobs Act President Obama signed into law last fall. Under the Small Business

Jobs Act, Texas can access $46.6 million in SSBCI funds. Texas expects to generate a minimum “bang for the buck” of at least $10 in new private lending for every $1 in federal funding. As such, this $46.6 million allocation for Texas is expected to support more than $466 million in new pri-vate lending in that state. The Texas Department of Agri-culture will use these funds to launch two new programs: the Texas Small Business Venture Capital program and the Texas Loan Guarantee program. “These funds will

provide critical support to state-level programs that help expand small-business lend-ing and spur private sector job growth,” said Deputy Secre-tary of the Treasury Neal S. Wolin. “Unlocking credit for small businesses will provide a powerful boost for invest-ment and job creation in local communities across the coun-try.” Under the State Small Business Credit Initiative, all states are offered the oppor-tunity to apply for federal

funds for state-run programs that partner with private lend-ers to increase the amount of credit available to small busi-nesses. States must demon-strate a reasonable expectation that a minimum of $10 in new private lending will result from every $1 in federal fund-ing. Accordingly, the overall $1.5 billion federal funding commitment for this program is expected to result in at least $15 billion in addi-tional private lending nation-wide.

GALLERY 219 AT EASTFIELD PRESENTS “ITCH”surrounding her studio has influenced Pepper’s newest body of work. Days spent outside exploring with her two young boys provide fodder for works that embel-lish and obsess over mun-dane natural phenomenon. As she draws from elements of the surrounding landscape - the rapid growth of inva-sive plants, loss of honey bees, and the weather - Pepper retains the concerns in her previous work - that of the detritus of technology. Utilizing the obsolete tech-nology of magnetic tape as material for her work, Pepper translates Poison ivy and Japanese stilt grass into paintings and sculptures that speak to the parallel between manmade and natural sys-

tems that can easily shift beyond control. Gallery 219 is located on the upper floor of the Fine Arts building (Bldg F) in room F219C. Park and enter at the Performance Hall entrance on the west side of the campus. Directions: From I-30 take Exit 54 toward Big Town Blvd. Take Big Town Blvd North which turns into La Prada.
