College To North Texas Campus

RED OAK-Texas State Technical College officials announce the creation of TSTC North Texas, anextension center of TSTC Marshall at Red Oak operating in partnership with Red Oak IndependentSchool District. The new extension center will be in a position to serve the citizens of Ellis County andthe greater Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area.

TSTC North Texas is the result of a bill (HB 3640) that passed through the legislative process receiv-ing approval from both the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate as a result of a com-munity initiative to enhance the growing workforce-development needs in Ellis County, Texas.Specifically this bill introduced by Rep. Jim Pitts and sponsored by Sen. Brian Birdwell, authorizes thecreation of an extension center of TSTC in the city of Red Oak. SB1, the General Appropriation Actprovides new State funding for TSTC to support the creation of the enter.

"Red Oak ISD sees this partnership as an extension of our responsibility to prepare students forpost--?secondary success in college, technical school or the workforce," said Superintendent Dr.Scott Niven. "This opportunity will create new pathways for success benefitting both our studentsand students across the north Texas region."

"The growth in population over the past 10 years in Ellis County, and the entire North Texas region,has been nothing short of incredible," said Texas State Representative Jim Pitts. "TSTC having a sig-nificant presence in our area will provide the job-related training and workforce development neces-sary for today's economy, and will attract businesses and job creation. I see this extension center asan incredible economic development opportunity and a critical investment in the future of our com-munity. It was an honor to work with Chancellor Reeser, Superintendent Niven, and Senator Birdwellto make this a reality." Initially, programs in the areas of industrial maintenance, electronics, infor-mation technology, transportation, and engineering technology will be offered at an existing Red OakISD facility. At the same time, plans will be made to construct new facilities to house the center.

Serena Williams rescued herseason with a lopsided victoryover Caroline Wozniacki to winher 18th grand slam title in afinal that flirted with toweringmediocrity, was restored topassable competence and fin-ished with merciful speed in adribble of errors.

Her 6-3, 6-3 defeat Sunday ofgood pal Caroline Wozniacki inSunday's U.S. Open final - hersixth in New York and third con-secutive - comes 15 years later,the longest span between GrandSlam titles in history.

She stands alongside ChrisEvert and Martina Navratilova now, and four behind Steffi Graf asmajor winners in the Open era, but still trailing Helen Wills Moody(19) and Margaret Court (24) in the history of the game.

"I'm sure you have your ups and downs, and every time she's socompetitive," said five-time Grand Slam champion Hingis, who isone year older than Williams and reached the women's doublesfinal. "I mean there's no words. I mean Serena is Serena. Geez.Wow."

In a season where eight different women reached Grand Slamfinals, Williams cemented her status as the top player. But it tookthe biggest stage and home turf for Williams to win her first majorof 2014.

"It was a wonderful finish [to the slam season]," a sobbingWilliams said courtside. "Of all the struggles we've been through,we've texted each other nearly every day."

It was the third year in a row here that the final entertained twoplayers who have been ranked the best on their Tour, although youwould not have guessed so had you arrived from Mars and wit-nessed opening exchanges that were more like botched handshakesthan blows of mean intent.

Williams is a wonderful playeThe second set was marginally morecompetitive yet it had the unmistakable air of a slow walk towardsa disappearing target, the last of Wozniacki's 15 unforced errorsfloating long. The applause was that of relief as much as celebration.

The following is a statementfrom the Dallas IndependentSchool District:

Dallas ISD announced that ithas released its lead investiga-tor based on the findings of amonth and a half-long review.The review, conducted by out-side counsel, found multipleinstances of poor behavior anddecision-making, and violationsof law and the Texas EducationCode that warranted the termi-nation of Jeremy Liebbe, whohad managed the ProfessionalStandards Office since March of2014.

As a matter of practice, Dallas ISD does not comment on per-sonnel issues.

"It is unfortunate that this matter has been made so publicwithout the district being able to comment," said André Riley,director of news and information. "Because there has been con-siderable media and public attention, we believe it is importantfor the public to know the outcome of the investigation," saidRiley. "That being said, to respect all involved, we will not discussthe details of the investigation or resulting action."

Liebbe's attorney Pete Schulte released this statement:'My client, Jeremy Liebbe, a top official with DISD who oversees

administrative investigations, was notified yesterday that there isa pending administrative inquiry involving him and he was placedon administrative leave. The only information we are aware at themoment is that the inquiry is not criminal in nature. Regardless ofthe accusations, my client looks forward to a resolution andreturning to work as he knows he has done nothing wrong.'

Before he was hired to head the district's ProfessionalStandards Office, which is part of DISD's Human ResourcesDepartment, he was a district police officer and detective.

He is credited with being the first to identify the 'cheese' hero-in epidemic in 2006 that took the lives of several DISD students.

BY CONGRESSWOMAN EDDIEBERNICE JOHNSON

There are numerousorganizations and institu-tions located in the 30thCongressional District thatmake a fundamental differ-ence for good in the lives ofpeople. Each day, the indi-viduals who work for, andlead these concerns worktirelessly and unselfishly toimprove the quality of lifefor all people in North Texas.

One such organizationthat I would like to salute isthe Urban League of GreaterDallas and North CentralTexas. Led by Dr. BeverlyMitchell-Brooks, the UrbanLeague has a wealth of pro-grams that include employ-ment services, financialassistance, health educa-tion, technological and com-puter training, communityresidential developmentand many more.

One of its most vital pro-grams is one in which previ-ously incarcerated individu-als learn job skills, andreceive training that assiststhem in their transitionsback into society. Some ofthe individuals who haveexperienced the UrbanLeague program have goneinto business for them-selves. One participant cre-ated a business that allowedhim to hire others who hadbeen incarcerated.

The work of the Urban

League is not limited toSouthern Dallas, as manythink. The organization hasoutreach centers and staff inPleasant Grove, Garland,and Irving. The centers pro-vide various services tothose who live on the eco-nomic margins of our socie-ty, attempting daily toremove families from pover-ty to a place where they areable to stand on their own.

A number of people haveachieved success after expe-riencing one or more of theUrban League's programs.One man, homeless andunemployed when hesought out the UrbanLeague, participated in theirEfficiency Housing Program.That led to full-time employ-ment, the ability to pur-chase a car, and his ownsuitable housing. He saidthat the Urban League expe-rience "empowered" him.

A 28 year-old woman whohad not completed highschool enrolled in the UrbanLeague's GED course. Herexam scores were extremelyhigh. In fact, her readingscores were high enough tobe among the very best inthe entire nation. After thecourse she enrolled in col-lege to study business man-agement.

During the course of thelast year, 53 families pur-chased their first home afterparticipating in the UrbanLeague's HomebuyerEducation Program. Nearly600 area residents complet-ed the credit counseling andfinancial literacy classesoffered by the League. Twohundred and thirty-threeveterans, some faced with

homelessness, received sup-port services that enabledthem to rent housing ormake purchases.

In fact, nearly 8,000 indi-viduals and their loved oneswere positively affected bythe health education, healthpromotion and housingservices offered by theUrban League. Its clientbase ranged from teenagersto senior citizens.

The Urban Leaguereceives its financing fromgovernment, businessorganizations and individu-als who believe in the mis-sion of the organization thathas served the people ofNorth Texas for more thanfour decades.

Even during times offinancial stress, the UrbanLeague has continued itseffective program base,reaching out to people,making a difference in theirlives. It has been successfulbecause it has taken aninnovative and visionaryapproach to the science ofimproving the human condi-tion.

I urge you to support theUrban League of GreaterDallas and North CentralTexas as it continues on thepath that its organizers soprudently and unselfishlychose. Its success is our suc-cess. Its mission is our mis-sion.

I am grateful to all of theorganizations that serve ourcommunity for their dedica-tion and for their service tothe people of ourCongressional District. Theircontributions are vital, nec-essary and greatly appreci-ated.

SALUTING THE URBAN LEAGUE

In a letter sent recently toU.S. Attorney General EricHolder, Martin Luther KingIII requested the interven-tion of the JusticeDepartment in legal issuessurrounding practices in thehousing finance industrythat are obstructing federaland state efforts to assiststruggling homeowners toavoid foreclosure, particu-larly in hard-hit communi-ties of color with predomi-nantly African American,Latino or Asian residents.

While commending theAttorney General's out-standing leadership inbringing the "legal andmoral authority" of hisoffice to bear on issues thatdirectly affect Americanfamilies, Mr. King outlinedseveral steps that could betaken by the JusticeDepartment to counter theimpact of actions, includinglitigation, taken by certainmortgage bondholders "forthe purpose of encouragingforeclosures and/or dis-couraging principal reduc-tions and mortgage modifi-cations."

"At a time when themortgages of more thannine million Americanhomeowners remain underwater...and with the mil-lions of foreclosures thehousing crisis has alreadywrought," Mr. King assert-ed, "it is reprehensible thatanyone today could deliber-ately support more foreclo-sures and more suffering."

He noted that these

developments directlyundermine the governmentinitiatives that have helped"more than one millionstruggling families modifytheir mortgages and stay intheir homes." The newpush for foreclosures alsocontradicts the terms of the2012 National MortgageSettlement negotiatedunder Holder's leadershipby the Justice Department,as well as attorneys generalin 49 states, "specificallyrequiring banks and othermortgage market partici-pants to pay significantsums to borrowers and toforeclosure prevention pro-grams, including loan modi-fication initiatives."

In January 2013, Mr. Kinghimself participated in aneffort sponsored by theIndependent ForeclosureReview (IFR) to increasenationwide awareness ofthe availability of such gov-ernment-sponsored assis-tance to those in affectedcommunities, He spoke tonearly 8,000 members ofdenomination anchorchurches, which in turn

spread the word through-out their constituent con-gregations and distributedCDs that reached additionalmillions.

On a more personal note,Mr. King shared withAttorney General Holder ahistoric footnote that res-onates strongly with hisfamily. He recalled thatPresident Lyndon Johnsonsecured the passage of theCivil Rights Act of 1968 -Title VIII of which was theFair Housing Act -- on April11, 1968, exactly one weekafter Dr. King's death.

While President Johnsonurged Congress to supportthe legislation as a "fittingtribute" to his father's life-long struggle for justice andfairness for all citizens, thethird-generation civil rightsactivist concluded that"some 46 years later, thereis still...much more work tobe done to ensure that thepromise of the Act movescloser to demonstrablereality."

Toward this end, Mr. Kinghas requested a meetingwith Mr. Holder to exploreopportunities in which theJustice Department canexert its legal muscle tofight for homeowners inminority communities toprotect their interests andpreserve their homesagainst the rising tide offoreclosure litigation.

REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

What a magnificent book wehave before us. Isaiah, theprince of prophecy, is writing avery encouraging message toJudah, informing her that Godpromises to restore her to theland, Jerusalem. This chapter isin the comforting section of thebook. In contrast to the first sec-tion that emphasizes denuncia-tion (chapters 1-39), the secondsection focuses on deliverance(chapters 40-66). Within chap-ters 40-66, there are three sec-tions with the following mes-

sages: the promise that Judahwill be restored to the land (40-48); the surety of the coming ofthe Messiah (49-57); and theblessings of the Millennium forIsrael will come (58-66).

Isaiah was a great prophet ofGod, who primarily had a mes-sage to Judah. At the point of hismessages, Judah had not yetgone into captivity (the date of586 B.C.). Although the peopleof Judah had not yet experiencedcaptivity, Isaiah's propheticvision looked beyond that dismalperiod to the future blessings ofthe kingdom. With a sense ofconfidence, in reading this sec-tion, I would like to summarizeIsaiah's message this way: Judahwill be captured and exiled toBabylon, but looking beyond thatdreadful scene, Judah will berestored, not only to her land,but will experience the blessingsof the Millennium. What a won-derful message of comfort that isbeing depicted in this section.Looking through his prophetic

telescope, Isaiah was prophesy-ing from the immediate present,but glides right on to the future.

As we glance at our subject,"Fear Not", I would like to definethe word, "fear." The word"fear" can be defined as "a feel-ing that danger or evil is near; beafraid of; an uneasy feeling oridea; to be restless, disturbed,anxious." Our text offers com-fort to Judah, who will experi-ence being captured by Babylonand go into captivity, yet she willbe fully restored. In Isaiah 40:2,Isaiah had already comforted herby telling Judah she has paid infull punishment of her sins, forthat verse reads: "Speak ye com-fortably to Jerusalem, and cryunto her, that her warfare isaccomplished, that her iniquity ispardoned: for she hath receivedof the Lord's hand double for allher sins." Although Israel hadsinned grievously in disregardingthe law, God promises to recap-ture her and restore her to theland.

Our text offers three reasons

not to fear. The first reason Israelis not to fear is because God cre-ated her. Even though goingthrough a terrible period, Israelneed not fear because God willprotect her (v. 1-2). In verses 3-4, the second reason that Israelshould not fear is because Godloves her. His love for her is notbased on any merit that she pos-sesses, but it is because Godchose her (v. 3-4). Lastly, thethird reason Israel is not to fear isthat God promised to re-gatherthem to their land (v. 5-7).Having discussed the fears thatIsrael faced, and the assurancesthat God's word offered to her,what is your greatest fear? Is itdeath? I know that death is aterror, and has been a tyrant, butone needs not fear. Christ hasconquered death, for Paul makesthis emphatic statement - "Odeath, where is thy string? Ograve, where is thy victory" (ICorinthians 15:55). And becauseChrist has gained victory overdeath, believers will do also!May God truly bless!

BY GEORGE E. CURRYNNPA COLUMNIST

St. Louis County has 90municipalities - ranging in pop-ulation from 13 to nearly52,000 - and most of them sus-tain themselves by targeting,fining and jailing poor Missouriresidents, many of them Black,who are unable to pay traffictickets.

A "white paper" by ArchCityDefenders, a group thatdefends the poor in the St.Louis area for free, carefullydetails how Ferguson andother small villages and munic-ipalities in the state have per-fected the art of exploitingthose who drive while Black -and poor.

According to the report,three municipal courts inMissouri - Ferguson, Bel-Ridgeand Florissant - "were chronicoffenders and serve as primeexamples of how these prac-tices violate fundamental rightsof the poor, undermine publicconfidence in the judicial sys-tem, and create inefficiencies."

It continued, "Overall, wefound that by disproportion-ately stopping, charging andfining the poor and minorities,by closing the Courts to thepublic, and by incarcerating

people for the failure to payfines, these policies uninten-tionally push the poor furtherinto poverty, prevent thehomeless from accessing thehousing, treatment, and jobsthey so desperately need toregain stability in their lives,and violate the Constitution.

"These ongoing violations ofthe most fundamental guaran-tees of the Constitution are theproduct of a disordered, frag-mented, and inefficientapproach to criminal justice inSt. Louis County. It represents afailure of the Municipalities tocomply with the guarantees ofcounsel, reasonable bondassessments, and other consti-tutional and legal rights ofthose accused. And, perhapsmost importantly, these prac-tices create animosity in thecommunity, contribute to thefractured nature of the St.Louis region, and cost the indi-vidual municipalities and theregion financially."

Unmistakably, poor Blacksdrive through certain Missourimunicipalities with a huge X ontheir back.

o Last year in Bel-Ridge, 75.7percent of all traffic stopsinvolved Black motorists. Whathappened after the stops iseven more telling. According tothe study, 100 percent of allsearches and arrests growingout of traffic stops were ofAfrican Americans. In otherwords, of 775 Blacks pulledover by police, 11 weresearched and 32 were arrested.Of 219 non-Blacks stopped,

none were searched and nonewere arrested.

o In Ferguson, 86 percent ofall traffic stops in 2013 involvedBlacks. Of those stopped,Blacks were almost twice aslikely as Whites to be searched(12.1 percent vs. 6.9 percent)and twice as likely to be arrest-ed (10.4 percent vs. 5.2 per-cent). Interestingly, after beingsearched, only 21.7 percent ofBlacks were found with contra-band, compared to 34 percentof Whites.

o In Florissant, Blacks werearrested 14.9 percent of thetime, twice the White rate of7.2 percent. Whites weresearched 8 percent of the timevs. 15.8 percent of Blacks. Yet,contraband was found on only7.4 percent of Black residentscompared to 12 percent ofWhites.

These disproportionatearrests of Blacks translates intomore green for the cities.

For example, of Pine Lawn's4,204 residents, 96 percent areBlack. It has a per capitaincome of only $13,000. Lastyear, Pine Lawn collected morethan $1.7 million in fines andcourt fees. That's $500,000more than Chesterfield, anaffluent, predominantly Whitesuburb with five times the pop-ulation of Pine Lawn (47,000)and a per capita income almostfour times that of Pine Lawn($50,000).

If one can afford an attorney,they have all of the advantages.Typically, in the case of aspeeding ticket, the attorney

requests what is called "recom-mendation for disposition." Inthose cases a speeding ticket isamended to a non-moving vio-lation, such as excessive vehiclenoise, upon payment of a fineand court costs. The offender isable to avoid points on his orher record as well as a possibleinsurance increase.

Poor people, however, don'tget that benefit.

"…in all but a very few, thesemunicipalities fail to providelawyers for those who cannotafford counsel," the reportstated. "As a result, unrepre-sented defendants often enterpleas of guilty without knowingthat they have right to consultwith a lawyer, although thisinformation is on many courtwebsites. Defendants are alsosentenced to probation and tothe payment of unreasonablefines without a knowing, volun-tary, and intelligent waiver ofdefendant's right to counsel.Despite their poverty, defen-dants are frequently ordered topay fines that are frequentlytriple their monthly income.

"Defendants are entitled to ahearing to determine their abil-ity to pay, under Missouri Law.Upon revocation of probationbecause of their inability topay, defendants are again enti-tled to an inquiry into theirability to pay. Based on ourobservations, this rarelyoccurs. As a result, defendantsare incarcerated for theirpoverty."

Yes, race and money stillmatters.

"I lie down and sleep; I wakeup again, because the Lord sus-tains me." (Psalm 3:5) All of ustake our daily blessings for

granted. We assume that if wego to sleep, we will get up thenext morning. We also assumethat because we have all thatwe need that it will always bethat way.

For this reason, we movethrough our lives forgettinghow faithful God has been tous. We take Him for granted.

The God we serve is faithfulto us. He walks with us duringgood and bad times. He pro-vides for our needs and our

wants as well. Unfortunately,we often forget to thank Godfor how He has blessed us andprovides for us. Often, we actlike spoiled children who onlyseem to look for God when weare in need of somethingmiraculous from Him.

As we get older, we tend tothink that many of our success-es have happened because ofour own ability. We fail toacknowledge that God hasblessed us and met our needs

even when we were notdeserving of it. God stillshowed us mercy.

God has stayed close to usbecause of the love He has forus. This is why the Psalmist isable to acknowledge that"…the Lord sustains me" (Psalm3:5). Can you take this weekand ponder how God has sus-tained you? If you do this, youwill have a more thankfulheart. I know I'll take the timeto do it. Amen? Amen.

BY JULIANNE MALVEAUXNNPA COLUMNIST

The Dow Jones IndustrialAverage has been floating at orabove the 17,000 mark in thepast two months - an all timehigh. There has been a stumblehere and a wrinkle there, buteven with a weak unemploymentreport for August, the Dow hasremained over 17,000. This com-pares with a Dow of 13,000 just ayear ago (or a 30 percent gain),and is generally seen as a sign ofeconomic progress and ofincreased wealth.

Who gets the wealth, though?Fifty-two percent of US adultsown stock which includes mutualfunds, Individual RetirementAccounts, and 401-k accountsdown from 65 percent in 2007.The drop in the level of stockholdings can be at least partlyattributed to the GreatRecession, when high levels ofunemployment forced people togo into their savings to survive.

Maybe, too, dissolved stock hold-ings to help them with housingcrises and underwater mort-gages. For those reasons, and formany others, stock ownership isfalling.

While half of the overall popu-lation owns stock, bonds ormutual funds, a 2011Washington Post survey reportedthat one in four AfricanAmericans and one in sixHispanics had such holdings.These are the folks who were dis-proportionately hit by the hous-ing crisis, and are now unlikely togain from the surge in the stockmarket. Some folks just can'tcatch a break.

Now, the latest unemploy-ment report suggests that thereare fewer gains in the labor mar-ket than expected. While theoverall unemployment rate hasticked down from 6.2 percent to6.1 percent, only 142,000 jobswere created, about one hun-dred thousand fewer jobs thateconomic forecasters had beenexpecting.

Tepid job growth bodes ill forthe so-called recovery that isoptimistically referenced. TheBlack unemployment in Augustwas unchanged from July at 11.4percent, with the rate for Blackmen falling, and that for Blackwomen rising. Usually, Black men

have a slightly higher unemploy-ment rate than Black women.

While the racial unemploy-ment rate still reflects inequality,and the general unemploymentrate is too high to be optimisticabout recovery (though the rateis down a full percentage pointfrom a year ago), equally con-cerning is the level of wages thathas not grown significantly in thepast year. In the last year, thehourly wage has grown by just 50cents, from $24.03 in August2013, to $24.53 last month. Withunemployment rates falling, itwould seem that employerswould have to work harder tocompete for workers, but theextremely small increase inhourly pay suggests this is justnot the case. While these dataare not broken down by race, thefact that the average AfricanAmerican household earns just$32,000 a year, compared to$51,000 for a white householdsuggests that there is a similardifference in hourly wages.

The movement to increase theminimum wage has momentum,but Congress can't seem tounderstand how challenging it isto earn the minimum wage in astagnant labor market. The mini-mum wage hasn't changed in fiveyears. Meanwhile, Congressionalpay has risen from $129,500 to

$174,000 between 1992 through2014. Congress also has its payinflation-adjusted. PresidentObama has chided Congress that"America needs a raise, " lastaddressing the point on thisLabor Day. And fast food workershave taken it to the streets,demanding that their employerspay them $15 an hour. Dozenswere arrested in cities aroundthe country as they disruptedtraffic in busy intersections tomake their case known.

The juxtaposition betweenminimum wages that have notbeen adjusted in five years,Congressional pay that continuesto rise, and a 30 percent stockmarket gain in just a year are sim-ple indicators of our nation'sinequality. Those at the bottomaren't seeing any trickle downfrom stock euphoria. There hasbeen little increase in theamount of work available, andthe amount of pay that it brings.America needs a raise, and con-gress needs to spend just oneweek living on the minimumwage. That might give them aninsight or two about how somepeople are forced to live.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

The 2nd Annual Oak Cliff Jazz Fest/Arts & Crafts Fair Sept. 20

Less than half of high school graduateswho took the SAT in 2013 were prepared forcollege, continuing a five-year trend.

Less than half – 44 percent -- who tookthe ACT had the reading skills necessary forcollege. That’s down from 53 percent in2009. And nearly a third failed to meet stan-dards in four areas: reading, English, sci-ence and math.

The failures have persisted despite yearsof new tests, new curricula and newdemands on teachers, notes educationalresearcher and consultant Charles M.Reigeluth, author of “Reinventing Schools:It’s Time to Break the Mold,” (www.reige-luth.net).

“We continue to approach the sameproblems with the same sorts of solutions,despite the fact that they’re not working,”he says. “Instead, we need a fundamentalshift in how we educate our children. Ourpublic school system was designed to meetthe needs of a long-ago era – the IndustrialAge. It’s not working because we’re now inthe Information Age.”

Teachers unfairly shoulder much of theblame for the lack of progress, he notes, butthey’re hamstrung by roles and rules thatdon’t work for 21st century students.

“We need to change from teacher-cen-tered education to learner-centered. In theIndustrial Age paradigm, teachers are ajudge and a perceived threat. In theInformation Age, they should be guides andcoaches who help students overcomeobstacles,” says Reigeluth.

His multidimensional approach includesreducing bureaucracy in schools; encourag-ing students to teach each other withteacher supervision; having interns andother paraprofessionals, including retireevolunteers, assist with guiding studentlearning; and creating an “educationalcooperative,” where a community’s adultscan earn access to learning resources,advancing their own education, in exchangefor helping students learn.

“The new paradigm can significantlyreduce the cost of education while increas-ing the quality,” says Reigeluth, who out-lines the five new roles teachers would havein this redesigned system.

• Mentor … the same 20 to 30 studentsfor several years, addressing all aspects ofstudent development. Students and teach-ers would develop the deeper relationshipsthat foster real caring on both sides.Mentors would help students prepare apersonal learning plan for each project peri-od, six to 12 weeks, including helping eachstudent and his parents choose appropriateinstructional goals, subject to standards setby the community, state and nation.Mentors would also help identify and sup-port the best means for each student toachieve those goals.

• Designer … of student work options,mostly projects or tasks, to engage studentsin the learning process. Open educationalresources developed by teachers through-out the country and available to all educa-tors for free via the Internet can alleviatemuch of the burden of the designer role.

• Facilitator … of the learning process,which entails monitoring student progress,enhancing student motivation and coachingstudent performance.

• Learner … the teacher is always learn-ing with the students, about students, fromand for the students. The teacher does nothave all the answers, but the teacher helpsstudents find answers. And the teacher isalways learning more about how best tomeet students’ needs. The new paradigmprovides sufficient support for teacherlearning.

• Owner and manager … of the school.Like lawyers and accountants in a smallfirm, teachers would be partners who owntheir public school and make decisionsabout its operations, including budgetingand staffing. This model is already a successat the Minnesota New Country School andother EdVisions schools. This role elevatesteachers to that of true professionals,rather than workers controlled by an all-powerful bureaucracy.

“These new roles offer empowerment tothose who are most affected by our system,the student and the teacher, the latter ofwhom I suggest calling ‘guides’ to betterreflect their new roles,” Reigeluth says.“The new roles better serve students in theage in which we live.”

Officials reported AtlantaHawks owner BruceLevenson will be selling con-trolling interest of the teamdue to an email reminiscentof the Donald Sterling scan-dal.

In July Levenson reportedhimself to the NBA for havingsent a racist email in August2012. The email sent spokeabout the race of the Hawksfans, and the “racial sportsdivide" found in Atlanta.Among many other clichés inthe email, Levenson said,“My theory is that the blackcrowd scared away thewhites and there are simplynot enough affluent blackfans to build a significant sea-son ticket base.”

The following statementwas released today byAtlanta Hawks ControllingOwner Bruce Levenson:

“Over the past severalyears, I’ve spent a lot of timegrappling with low atten-dance at our games and theneed for the Hawks to attractmore season ticket holdersand corporate sponsors.Over that time, I’ve talkedwith team executives aboutthe need for the Hawks tobuild a more diverse fan basethat includes more suburbanwhites, and I shared mythoughts on why our effortsto bridge Atlanta’s racialsports divide seemed to befailing.

In trying to address thoseissues, I wrote an e-mail twoyears ago that was inappro-priate and offensive. I trivial-

ized our fans by makingclichéd assumptions abouttheir interests (i.e. hip hopvs. country, white vs. blackcheerleaders, etc.) and bystereotyping their percep-tions of one another (i.e. thatwhite fans might be afraid ofour black fans). By focusingon race, I also sent the unin-tentional and hurtful mes-sage that our white fans aremore valuable than our blackfans.

If you're angry about whatI wrote, you should be. I'mangry at myself, too. It wasinflammatory nonsense. Weall may have subtle biasesand preconceptions when itcomes to race, but my role asa leader is to challenge them,not to validate or accommo-date those who might holdthem.

I have said repeatedly thatthe NBA should have zero tol-erance for racism, and Istrongly believe that to betrue. That is why I voluntari-ly reported my inappropriatee-mail to the NBA.

After much long and diffi-cult contemplation, I havedecided that it is in the bestinterests of the team, theAtlanta community, and theNBA to sell my controllinginterest in the Hawks fran-chise.

Hawks CEO Steve Kooninwill oversee all team opera-tions and take all organiza-tional reports as we proceedwith the sale process.

I’m truly embarrassed bymy words in that e-mail, and

I apologize to the membersof the Hawks family and all ofour fans.

To the Hawks family and itsfans, you have my deepestgratitude for the past tenyears. Working with thisteam and its extraordinaryexecutives, coaching staff,and players has been one ofthe highlights of my life. I amproud of our diverse, pas-sionate, and growing legionof Hawks fans, and I will con-tinue to join you in cheeringfor the best team in theNBA.”

Levenson became anowner of the Hawks in 2004.For the meantime, HawksCEO, Steve Koonin, will betaking over operations forthe team while the NBA looksfor a new owner.

NBA Commissioner, AdamSilver, said, "Prior to the com-pletion of the investigation,Mr. Levenson notified me lastevening that he had decidedto sell his controlling interestin the Atlanta Hawks. As Mr.Levenson acknowledged, theviews he expressed areentirely unacceptable andare in stark contrast to thecore principles of theNational BasketballAssociation. He shared withme how truly remorseful heis for using those hurtfulwords and how apologetic heis to the entire NBA family —fans, players, team employ-ees, business partners andfellow team owners — forhaving diverted attentionaway from our game."

O Divine Master,Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

What is more impor-tant? Preception or reali-ty? Your perception isactually your reality.Preception drives behav-ior everyday. The realpurpose of this commen-tary is this. Things are notalways what they appearand strong media relieson this simple fact tomake you see things their

way everyday. Dependingon the level of your emo-tional involvement, itbecomes paramount orpitiful.

The recent tragedy inFerguson , Missouri, andthe death of MichaelBrown remains just that.An American tragedy.The killing of unarmedpeople, especially anAfrican American teen inthis case, by the tax pay-

ing unit sworn to protectand serve always upsetthe nervous system.Reality hits us in the faceeveryday with this"movie" being repeatedlyplayed in all Americancities. What makes thedifference? And just howmuch of this is driven bythe emotional action thatsets in and is thus multi-plied by a camera full ofpeople marching. Is it

that cameras make thedifference. Camerasbrings out the visibleshow of concern in us?Truth is always presentsomewhere, but whentruth is blurred by misin-formation, potpourri ofhigh definition lens andperceptions become real-ity from a certain cornerof the world, I can assureyou that something islost.

Now that the camerashave gone on to sensa-tionalize and tantalizemore world viewers, I amlooking for the growingleftover concern. WhenCNN left the scene, didconcern step up and takeits place? Or did concernleave with CNN? Finally,and equally as importantis the reported amount offunds donated to eachfamily in the Ferguson,Missouri tragedy. Lastaccounting, reporteddonations to the BrownFamily was $250,000.The Police Wives groupreported about $400,000in donations.

Is that perception orreality?

MR. GENE TURNER

In our last article we wentas far as the sixth day of cre-ation. When you considerthe sixth day you must con-sider the fact that the sixthday distinctively comes intwo parts.

One part talks about ani-mal life on earth (Gen. 1:24-25). When you read theseverses you will see that Godcreated all animal life afterits kind, but in the next halfof the sixth day. God said,speaking to the other per-sonalities of Himself, theSon, and the Holy Spirit,saying let us make man inour image, after our like-ness. Now, this simplymeans that God created

mankind in both the imageand likeness of Himself.

An image is a representa-tion, or replica of one per-son or thing by another. Animage may be similar butnot necessarily identical toits original. The term like-ness is used as a gauge ofcomparison, or analogy.When man fell, he retainedan impaired image of God.Read (Gen.9:16) Regaining alikeness of God is one of theaccomplishments of salva-tion.

Our spiritual likeness isrestored in justification. Ourcharacter likeness is beingcontinuously developed inthe process of sanctifica-tion. We will be like ChristPhysically when we are glo-rified. Gods Purpose in ourlives today is to conform usto the image of Christ, Read(Romans 8:29) - (Gen. 1:26-27) (Heb. 4:12)

There are many peoplewho constantly read God'sword and still get creationand formation mixed up.These words are not thesame, and do not mean thesame thing.

Creation means whatGod created within Hismind, and at some point intime He formed what Hecreated in His mind. A goodexample is in the book of

(Jeremiah 1:4-5) and(Genesis 1:27-28). All thiswas in creation. Now, in(Genesis 2:7) God formedman only, even though Hecreated both of them at thesame time, but He formedthem at a different time.Now, here is what's soamazing, He not only creat-ed them in His mind, but Healso commanded them as towhat they were supposed todo after they were forms.That can be seen in a youngchild. He or she knows rightfrom wrong when they gethere. A one year old babywhen alone in the familyroom will pull things off thecoffee table, but when youas Mom and Dad walk in,that baby will drop his orher hands as if nothing iswrong. That's because theywere programed at cre-ation.

If you will notice God pro-grams man in (Genesis 1:26)but, He does not form manuntil (Genesis 2:7) after manwas formed he alreadyknew right from wrong, andbeing obedient, and disobe-dient. That's why Adam hidhimself from God in theGarden, all Black peopleneed to know exactly wherethe Garden of Eden is reallylocated. Look at the nextarticle concerning this!
