In the world of Roadster of all
sizes and shapes the all new
Hyundai Veloster Turbo is mak-
ing a name for itself. The
Korean built little roadster has
some very hard lines and with-
out a doubt catches the average
person by storm. A racecar like
look up front with the lower
crawl and the smooth side and
the neatly rear slant. Those dual
exhaust tips in the center and the
rear wheels at all the way to the
back giving an aggressive look
to the overall view of the vehi-
cle. This three door coupe with a
hatch back is new to say the
least. Keep in mind we are talk-
ing about a third door on the
right side giving you access to
the rear seating area. The vehi-
cle surprisingly had plenty of
trunk space. The front seat leg
room was another pleasant sur-
prise for us as we began out
week long test drive.
Our test vehicle was the Turbo
version with a powerful 1.6 liter
dual continuously variable valve
timing gasoline direct injection
four cylinder engine with twin-
scroll intercooled turbo charger.
This baby cranks out 201 horses
along with 195 pound per foot of
torque and you throw in a six
speed manual transmission and
we are ready to roll to say the
least. The power rolls to the
pavement on 18 inch alloy wheel
circulated by P 215/40R 18 inch
performance tires. The shifter
has eco-shift technology so you
know when it’s time to shift to
the next gear up or down
depending on your speed.
Let me say once you are inside
the new Veloster you know it’s
time to get on down the road.
The racecar like interior layout
just screams out at you. Medal
trimmed pedals and fancy shifter
knob that just spells out race car
to you. Let me assure you we
had some jack rabbit starts in
this baby. But the most impor-
tant thing is people were looking
at it everywhere we went.
Even though you can have fun
taking off fast the new Veloster
still managed 26 miles per gal-
lon in the city and 38 on the
highway and average of 3.3 gal-
lons of fuel per 100 miles.
Both the engine and transmis-
sion are built in Korea and the
final assembly point is Ulsan,
Korea and so is 81% of this
vehicle’s part. I’d say it’s cer-
tainly safe to call this baby an
import with only 1% of its part
from the US or Canada.
Warranties for this new Hyundai
is five-year/60,000 mile new
vehicle warrant and ten-
year/100,000 mile power train
warranty with seven-year/unlim-
ited miles anti-perforation war-
rant with five year/unlimited
Roadside Assistance. It’s safe to
say Hyundai really backs this
baby with good quality numbers.
Safety technology is advanced
for the new Veloster with
Electronic Stability Control with
Traction Control and four-wheel
disc anti-locking brakes. Yes it
does have front side impact and
side curtain airbags and tire
pressure monitoring system also.
While strolling along you can
listen to your favorite sound on a
Dimension Premium Audio sys-
tem and external amp with sub-
woofer AM/FM/
Sirius XM/CD/MP3 with eight
speakers. Of course the Satellite
radio is 90-day free trial
Hyundai blue link telematics
system allows the driver to stay
connected by web or smart
phone app’ subscription
required. A seven inch multi-
media touch screen and electro-
luminescent gauge cluster and
trip computer makes you think
you are driving a space vehicle.
It is the opinion of this writer
this vehicle is a perfect blend of
fuel economy, stylist design and
highly rated technology.
In closing please allow me to
add the new Veloster also has
leather sealing surfaces and a
leather wrapped steering wheel
with controls for audio and cli-
mate. Let us not forget it is
wired by bluetooth and hands
free phone system!

Our King-Size Movers and
Shakers for the month of
October are Kenneth and Kelly
McCain. They are proprietors of
The Roots-Houston Hair Salon
located at 6310 Richmond
Avenue, in Houston, TX. Their
latest endeavor is a salon that is
staffed with trained & skilled
professionals providing high
quality services to their old and
new clients. Kenneth is the cre-
ative, resourceful side, Kelly has
her beauty license, so both have
been active in building other
businesses that were ultimately
sold to people interested in that
specific type of business. They
create marketable businesses
that gain the attention of individ-
uals who prefer not to start from
scratch. Now they are doing
that very same thing, but for
themselves as Sideline
Investment Projects. They are
venturing into Brand
Management with their The
BottomLine Products and
Services which will be launched
early next year. They previously
owned a successful Swimming
Pool Maintenance Company that
served neighborhoods through-
out the Houston and surrounding
areas, for seven years. Kenneth
also opened a home improve-
ment company that provided low
cost services for victims of our
last 4 major Hurricanes. Both of
which were sold.
Kenneth and Kelly are also
hands-on parents and their chil-
dren are always number one.
They teach their kids, the basics
of money management, princi-
ples of business, and the benefits
of hard work. Their 16 year-old
son Kenneth Jr. (known as
Fatboy) was featured 3 years
ago while an 8th grader at Alief
Middle School. He was playing
football at the time, but today,
has decided to put all focus and
effort into playing basketball.
Kenneth Sr. and Kenneth Jr.
along with Kenneth Jr.’s younger
brothers DeAndre (14-known as
Dre) & Kenneth III (12-known
as 3rd), have been up on count-
less Saturday early mornings, on
their way to basketball practice
with the legendary coach John
Lucas. Some mornings, their
daughter Kiana (10-known as
Pookat) is made to go as well.
All in all, when you look at
them you just know they are all
very close; they love each other,
as well as themselves. They also
carry that same love and passion
into business; they employ only
professionals who go that extra
mile to be the best and make
The Roots-Houston synonymous
with service and style.
The 2013 Acura RDX is more
American these days and the
record clearly showed that to be
a fact. To start with the final
assembly point is East Liberty
Ohio with the engine and trans-
mission both built right here in
the USA. The 273 horse pow-
ered 3.5 Liter SOHC 24-valve I-
VETC VCM II V6 engine is
mated to a six-speed automatic
transmission with sequential
sports-shift. It reportedly gets
100 miles on every 4.5 gallons
of fuel. That computes to 19
MPH in the city and 27 on the
highway and under normal driv-
ing you would be expected to
spend roughly $2600 on fuel
each year. Only 15% of the
Acura parts come from Japan
with more than 65% coming
from US/Canadian parts suppli-
ers. This makes the vehicle
nearly All-American. At the time
of our test run the vehicle had
not been rated by the NHTSA so
we will get those numbers for
you later.
Handling is special for the Acura
RDX due to the AWD with intel-
ligent control and four-wheel
disc brakes makes stopping just
as much fun as starting.
Macpherson Struts front suspen-
sion and rear multi-link suspen-
sion and electric power assisted
rack and pinion steering simply
adds to the smooth operation.
When it comes to safety the new
RDX is built with your safety in
mind. Driver and front passenger
dual stage airbags and driver and
front passenger side air bates
with side curtains bags with
rollover sensors. A vehicle sta-
bility assist and anti-lock brakes
system with electronic brake dis-
tribution and brake assist adds to
the stopping safety even from
high rates of speed. Daytime
running lamps and latch system
for child seats are just a couple
more safety features on the new
Acura RDX AWD.
Tire monitoring system and
three-point seat belts plus side
impact door beams help to round
out the safety features.
Once you are inside you are
greeted to a normal Acura interi-
or commonly known for easy to
reach knobs and gauges that are
easy to read. Leather trimmed
sports seats and XM satellite
radio/MP3/Auxiliary input jacks
with USB audio interface with
push button ignition. A driver
10-way memory and four-way
front passenger seat and even
heated front seats. A home link
system and Bluetooth hands free
link system plus steering wheel-
mounted controls combined with
power windows and door locks
including front auto up/down
windows.
Power moon roof with tilt fea-
ture gives you a view of the
stars while 18 inch 7.5 Alloy
wheels roll smoothly circulated
by P235/60R 18 inch all-season
tires. Even the power door mir-
rors are heated with turn signal
indicators adding to the overall
safety outlook of this new
Acura.
Warranties include six
year/70,000 mile power train
warranty with four year/50,000
mile limited vehicle warranty,
plus a full tank of gas. The
vehicle comes with three-months
free XM radio and real time traf-
fic and weather service.
By the way tech package include
the Acura navigation system
with voice recognition and
multi-view rear camera along
with Acura-link communication
system with real-time traffic and
weather in selected markets.
The new Acura ELS Surround
Sound System with 10 speakers
and AM/FM/DVD/CD/DTC
with Dolby Pro Logic II.
Complete with Hard disk drive
GPS-linked Dual zone auto cli-
mate control with air filtration
system, power tail gate, Xenon
HID headlights and Fog lights as
well.
In closing please allow me to
add the new Acura RDX came
in at just over $40,00 but after
our week long test we found it
to be worth every cent of it!

The Houston National Cemetery(HNC), often called theVeteran’s Cemetery, is locatedjust south of Beltway 8 andVeterans Memorial Drive. It isabout 15 miles from downtownHouston. Although I generallyhate cemeteries, I truly enjoy theserenity of these sacred grounds.
The Houston VeteransAdministration Cemetery wasdedicated Dec. 7, 1965. It wasthe only government cemeteryconstructed in the United Statesduring the 1960s.
The present-day HoustonNational Cemetery was thelargest of its kind at the time ofconstruction. Designed entirelyby VA staff, it was also the onlynew VA cemetery not located onthe grounds of a VA hospital.Prior to Houston’s opening, thelast VA cemetery establishedwas at Eagle Point VA MedicalCenter, Ore., in 1952. Thelargest VA cemeteries at the timewere in Los Angeles at 114.47acres, and Leavenworth, Kan., at113.15 acres. At 419.2 acres, theHouston facility was slightlysmaller than the 450 acres or soof Arlington National Cemetery,to which it was compared.
Houston became a nationalcemetery in 1973 after the pas-sage of the National CemeteryAct and is the second largestNational cemetery in the conti-nental United States.
At the approximate center of thecemetery is the Hemicycle. It islargest memorial and the mostvisible structure on the land-scape. It is the only NCA-man-aged hemicycle memorial and isone of only three known hemi-cycles located in national ceme-teries. The others are located atArlington National Cemetery,Va., operated by the U.S. Army,and at Manila AmericanCemetery and Memorial in thePhilippines, operated by theAmerican Battle MonumentsCommission.
At the keystone, or center, of thehemicycle are the chapel, caril-lon and speaker’s stand. DavidParsons, a professor of art atRice University, sculpted a 20’ x6’ bas relief of three interlockingforms—a fallen soldier support-ed by two comrades. The sculp-ture, made of crushed quartz,was installed at the chapelentrance in 1965. The 75-foottower, 305-bell, Schulmerich“Americana” carillon was dedi-cated May 30, 1970. The
Hemicycle is a meeting place formemorial events. There are sev-eral stone stairwells that lead tothe top floor for a spectacularview of the grounds and lakes.
Another unique feature of theHNC is that it is a protectedwetland. It is designed andmaintained to provide greenspace to the creatures that call ithome. It is designed to abatefloods and enhance water quali-ty. The natural grasses and wild-flowers change colors and tex-tures throughout the year andprovide a living landscape forvisitors to enjoy.
Interment services are performedat one of three CommitmentService Shelters. Remains aretransported there from the funer-al home or other serviceprovider and the ceremony isheld at a time scheduled by theCemetery. The actual internmentis done at a later time and familymembers are not allowed to bepresent and ceremonies are notpermitted.
Originally, HNC placed granitemarkers at each grave with thename of the deceased, theirdated of birth and death, branchof service and rank. As thebudget permits, these markersare being replaced with aboveground tombstones. The sameinformation is on the stones andthey make a very dramatic andinspiring site.
If you have a loved one atHouston National Cemetery, youcan easily locate them at thegrave locater just inside theentrance. Maps are provided andit is fairly easy to locate thegrave site.
Notable persons buried at HNCinclude:
First Lieutenant Raymond L.Knight, (World War II), U.S.
Army Air Corps. Northern PoValley, Italy, on April 25, 1945.His remains were relocated toHouston National Cemetery onApril 25, 1992.
Staff Sergeant Marcario Garcia,(World War II), U.S. Army,Company B, 22nd Infantry, 4thInfantry Division. Grosshau,Germany, Nov. 27, 1944. (Note:I met SSG Garcia shortly beforehis death and have an auto-graphed copy of his book, TheLast Medal of Honor.)
Captain James H. Fields, (WorldWar II), U.S. Army, 10thArmored Infantry, 4th ArmoredDivision. Near Rechicourt,France, Sept. 27, 1944.
First Sergeant David H.McNerney, (Vietnam), U.S.Army, Company A, 1stBattalion, 8th Infantry, 4thInfantry Division. Polei Doc,Republic of Vietnam, March 22,1967.
Perhaps the most renowned vet-eran buried in the cemetery isthe late Honorable AlbertThomas, United StatesCongressman from Texas.Congressman Thomas served asa Lieutenant in the U.S. Armyduring World War I, and servedalmost 30 years in the U.S.House of Representatives. Hewas instrumental in getting thiscemetery established byCongress. "CongressmanAlbert," as his many friendsknew him, died in Washington,D.C., on Feb. 15, 1966, and wasburied in the mall area of theHouston National Cemetery, onFeb. 18, 1966.
On my Patriot Guard rides weoften provide flag lines at funer-als at HNC. As time permits, Iwalk around the lakes andabsorb the tranquility of thegrounds. Sometimes I will stopat a stone and read the name ofthe deceased. It gives me greatpeace to know that a man orwoman that served our nationcan rest in this beautiful ground.In fact, I have already notifiedmy family that I wish to beburied here when the timecomes.

Thanksgiving:There are many in the religiousworld today having FUN; hav-ing HOLIDAY feasts, parties,drinks, just having a merry goodtime (REVELLI�G). We aresure some if not most would ask,what’s wrong with that? There isnothing wrong with it accordingto our FLESH, actually it isFU�! But according to Christand his apostles, to our SPIRITit is a vexation, to our SOUL itis damnation John12:24-26,because the FLESH cannotplease GOD. The CARNALMIND is hatred against GODand is not SUBJECT to theLAW of GOD. Thereby, not hav-ing the Spirit of Christ(antichrist), please read;Rom.8:1-10; Gal.5:16-25;Phil.3:16-20; Titus3:8-11. Foreven when the, “Holiday” sea-son starts, what is truly thoughtof the most? Is it Christ or is itthe time off, the fleshly familygatherings, the glutinous foodsand drinks, the carnal games,the vain carnal trees and deco-rations, and or the materialistic“gifts”? According to scriptureour thoughts cannot be of Christ,when the things that we areobserving and or doing, CAN-NOT be found in HIS instruc-tions to HIS BODY, the Church(Matt.17:1-8; Matt.28:18-20;John17:16-23; 2Cor.1:12-14;Eph.3:1-7; 2Pet.3:1-2; 1John4:5-6). But rather are the things thatgoes against Christ, therebyDENYING HIM and hisFATHER, (ANTICHRIST)(Isa.29:11-14; Matt.15:7-9;Mark. 7:6-9; Luke 6:43-49;1John2:15-26; 2John1:7-13).Let your conversation be ONLYabout the ONE thing that isNEEDFUL; Christ, the scrip-tures, and soul salvation while atthese gatherings, and see howpopular you will be (Philp.1:27;1Tim.4:11 -16; 1Pet.1:13-19;2Pet.3:8-12). Take the carnal,fleshly wants of man out of theequation; there would be noobservance of these CARNALdays that Christ has notauthorized, to those that are his.The proof is in the pudding; ourGOD is truly our BELLYbecause it seems as though noth-ing in this WORLD, includingthe Religious World, can beobserved without carnal foods,and or our carnal/ fleshly wants.“Luke 10:38 Now it came topass, as they went, that heentered into a certain village:and a certain woman namedMartha received him into herhouse. 39 And she had a sistercalled Mary, which also sat atJesus’ feet, and heard hisword. 40 But Martha was cum-bered about much serving, andcame to him, and said, Lord,dost thou not care that my sisterhath left me to serve alone? bidher therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered andsaid unto her, Martha, Martha,thou art careful and troubledabout many things: 42 But onething is needful: and Mary hathchosen that good part, whichshall not be taken away fromher.” “Phil 3:16 Nevertheless,whereto we have alreadyattained, let us walk by thesame rule, let us mind the samething. 17 Brethren, be followerstogether of me, and mark themwhich walk so as ye have us foran ensample. 18 (For manywalk, of whom I have told youoften, and now tell you evenweeping, that they are the ene-mies of the cross of Christ: 19Whose end is destruction, whoseGod is their belly, and whoseglory is in their shame, who(1)mind earthly things.) 20 Forour conversation is in heaven;from whence also we look forthe Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist:”
Definition: (1)MI�D EARTH-LY THINGS -from 5424; toexercise the mind, i.e. entertain;by implication, to be (mentally)disposed; intensively, to interestoneself in (with concern orobedience): KJV— set theaffection on, (be like-, + be ofone, + be of the same, + let this)mind (-ed), regard, savour,think.
Please listen to what Jesus toldthe multitude; “John 6:26 Jesusanswered them and said, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Ye seekme, not because ye saw the mir-acles, but because ye did eat ofthe loaves, and were filled. 27Labour not for the meat whichperisheth, but for that meatwhich endureth unto everlastinglife, which the Son of man shallgive unto you: for him hath Godthe Father sealed.” For those thatwere to be invited to a feast,Jesus Christ left instructions.Now this is also an example ofTRUE GIFT giving, andChristians MUST be of theTRUTH, John17:16-17. Notethe definition of GIFT (g¹ft) n.1. Something that is bestowedvoluntarily and WITHOUT (1)compensation. - 1. To offset;counterbalance. 2. To make sat-isfactory payment or reparationto; recompense or reimburse.
“Luke 14:12 Then said he alsoto him that bade him, When thoumakest a dinner or a supper, callnot thy friends, nor thy brethren,neither thy kinsmen, nor thy richneighbours; lest they also bidthee again, and a recompencebe made thee. 13 But when thoumakest a feast, call the poor, themaimed, the lame, the blind: 14And thou shalt be blessed; forthey cannot (2)recompense thee:for thou shalt be recompensedat the resurrection of the just.”
Definitions: (2) for they cannotrecompence thee-468antapodoma-the thing paid back,requital; 467 antapodidomi (an-tap-od-ee’-do-mee): KJV— rec-ompense, render, repay.
If these instructions were fol-lowed, the so-calledThanksgiving, Christmas andEaster FEASTS would not existwith those professing Christ.Christians are to give to theneedy always, not on some dayput in place by man, the crea-ture, please read: (Matt.5:38-48; Luke 6:27-36; Acts20:29-35;Rom.12:9-21; Gal.2:9-10; 6:9-10; Eph.4:28; Phil.2:1-8. Then,we would be following theinstructions of God, theCreator, through Christ, and hisapostles. But many choose NOTto follow these and many otherinstructions left by Christ. Whyis this; is it because of the lackof knowledge or just beingrebellious, because of what welike, (our BELLIES)? “Matt22:29 Jesus answered and saidunto them, Ye do err, not know-ing the scriptures, nor thepower of God.” “Luke 6:46And why call ye me, Lord,Lord, and do not the thingswhich I say? 47 Whosoevercometh to me, and heareth mysayings, and doeth them, I willshew you to whom he is like: 48He is like a man which built anhouse, and digged deep, and laidthe foundation on a rock: andwhen the flood arose, the streambeat vehemently upon thathouse, and could not shake it:for it was founded upon a rock.”Luke 16:13 No servant canserve two masters: for either hewill hate the one, and love theother; or else he will hold to theone, and despise the other. Yecannot serve God and mammon.14 And the Pharisees also, whowere covetous, heard all thesethings: and they derided him.And he said unto them, Ye arethey which justify yourselvesbefore men; but God knowethyour hearts: for that which ishighly esteemed among men isabomination in the sight ofGod.
Now here is a day that is amongmany others, that is HighlyEsteemed among MEN, and hasbeen set up by man for hisBELLY, the things that heLIKES. Note the origin of thisday; “The Thanksgiving holidayhas its origin in the PuritanThanksgivings of colonial NewEngland. Both the Pilgrims ofPlymouth and the BostonPuritans were strict CalvinistProtestants.” “Cal·vin·ism) n.The religious doctrines of JohnCalvin, emphasizing theomnipotence of God and the sal-vation of the elect by God’s
grace alone.” Please check thecomplete history of this tradi-tion, and you will find it NOTbeing at all CHRIST LIKE. Aswe have read, this tradition cameMUCH too late to be of Christor his apostles. Here again is theproblem; it follows not theinstruction given by Christ(Luke14:12-14; Rom.12:16).There is no need for man to setup such, not for a Christianbecause; the instructions for giv-ing thanks has already been setby THE WORD, and it isPerfect and Complete. The CRE-ATOR needs NO help from theCREATURE (Rom.1:25). Thecreature MUST OBEY and fol-low the instructions alreadygiven, IF we are to be followersof CHRIST through his apostles,(Christians). Christians mustabound in thanksgiving 24/7,and give thanks when ever weeat, according to the apostles’word, not on some day given byman. Christianity is not SEA-SONAL, but a 24/7LIFESTYLE, and according toscripture ALL THI�GS MUSTbe done with thanksgiving. Thestatement, “salvation of the electby God’s grace alone,” is �OTaccording to scripture; thereforeit is ERROR and is dangerous!According to scripture, we aresaved by grace, but NOT graceALONE. We are saved by manythings, grace being one, baptismand the obedience of the WORDbeing another, which is anotherlesson, but for now please read(James1:21-27; 1Pet.3:20-22).As we start this study please getyour Bible, and pay close atten-tion to all scriptures and all defi-nitions.

We MUST believe on Christthrough the words of theApostles, according to Christhimself John17:20-21, and con-tinue steadfast in the apostles’doctrine as those before us (Acts1:1-4; Acts2:41-42), this isSAFE. Why must we always dothe things to please the fleshrather than God? HIS Son didNOT: “1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuchthen as Christ hath suffered forus in the flesh, arm yourselveslikewise with the same mind:for he that hath suffered in theflesh hath ceased from sin; 2That he no longer should livethe rest of his time in the fleshto the lusts of men, but to thewill of God. 3 For the time pastof our life may suffice us tohave wrought the will of theGentiles, when we walked inlasciviousness, lusts, excess ofwine, revellings, banquetings,and abominable idolatries: 4Wherein they think it strangethat ye run not with them to thesame excess of riot, speakingevil of you:” Christians MUSTdeny themselves as CHRISTdid, and follow Him; hating ourlives here (John 12:24-26), bycrucifying and mortifying theflesh, according to God throughChrist and his apostles. There befew that are willing to SUFFERand FOLLOW THE WORD,which is Christ, (the narrowway), but there are many thatchoose to follow traditions andcommandments of men, (thebroad way), rather then Christand his apostles, please read;Matt 7:13 Enter ye in at thestrait gate: for wide is the gate,and broad is the way, that lead-eth to destruction, and manythere be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, andnarrow is the way, which leadethunto life, and few there be thatfind it. 15 Beware of falseprophets, which come to you insheep’s clothing, but inwardlythey are ravening wolves. 16 Yeshall know them by their fruits.Do men gather grapes of thorns,or figs of thistles? “Mark 8:33But when he had turned aboutand looked on his disciples, herebuked Peter, saying, Get theebehind me, Satan: for thou(1)savourest not the things thatbe of God, but the things that beof men. 34 And when he hadcalled the people unto him withhis disciples also, he said untothem, Whosoever will come

Rom 8:5 For they that are afterthe flesh do mind the things ofthe flesh; but they that are afterthe Spirit the things of the Spirit.6 For to be carnally minded isdeath; but to be spirituallyminded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind isenmity against God: for it is notsubject to the law of God, nei-ther indeed can be. 8 So thenthey that are in the flesh cannotplease God. 9 But ye are not inthe flesh, but in the Spirit, if sobe that the Spirit of God dwellin you. Now if any man havenot the Spirit of Christ, he isnone of his. 10 And if Christ bein you, the body is dead becauseof sin; but the Spirit is lifebecause of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of him thatraised up Jesus from the deaddwell in you, he that raised upChrist from the dead shall alsoquicken your mortal bodies byhis Spirit that dwelleth in you.12 Therefore, brethren, we aredebtors, not to the flesh, to liveafter the flesh. 13 For if ye liveafter the (1)flesh, ye shall die:but if ye through the Spirit (2)domortify the deeds of the body,ye shall live. 14 For as many asare led by the Spirit of God, theyare the sons of God.(KJV)

Definition:(1)Crucified theflesh-4717 stauroo-b) metaphor-ically, to crucify the flesh,destroy its power utterly (thenature of the figure implyingthat the destruction is attendedwith intense pain)
The scriptures teach that amongmany works of the flesh, REV-ELLING is one of them, andthat those participating in it orany such like, shall not inheritthe kingdom of God. As we startthis study, please as always, payclose attention to all scripturesand all definitions of words. Webelieve this will allow a betterunderstanding of why TRUEChristians, i.e. followers ofChrist through His apostles, can-not and must not Party; therebymaking them right, righteouswith God.

1 Tim 5:23 Drink no longer

According to scripture,
Christians MUST not live by the
flesh anymore. Christians MUST
put on Christ in baptism and
KEEP him on, thereby putting
on the new man, and that NEW
man MUST be a SPIRITUAL
one (Rom.8:5-9; Gal.3:27). For
when we choose to take Christ
OFF for our Belly’s sake (flesh-
ly wants); we then become that
old fleshly man, and we SIN.
We all have kinsmen in the
flesh, but Christians MUST
remember who their family truly
is. The SPIRITUAL family
reunion is set on each Lord’s
Day (Acts20:1-7), and it must
be attended (Heb.10:25). Jesus
said….. “Who is my mother or
my brethren, (Matt.12:47-50 &
Mark3:32-35)?” If we are to be
of Christ’s family, we MUST
follow HIM. For all have not
obeyed the gospel; Matt 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that
find it. Rom 8:9 But ye are not
in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if
so be that the Spirit of God
dwell in you. Now if any man
have not the Spirit of Christ, he
is none of his.Rom 10:16 But
they have not all obeyed the
gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hear-
ing, and hearing by the word of
God. (See also James1:21-25)
Matt 12:46 While he yet talked
to the people, behold, his mother
and his brethren stood without,
desiring to speak with him. 47
Then one said unto him, Behold,
thy mother and thy brethren
stand without, desiring to speak
with thee. 48 But he answered
and said unto him that told him,
Who is my mother? and who are
my brethren? 49 And he
stretched forth his hand toward
his disciples, and said, Behold
my mother and my brethren! 50
For whosoever shall do the will
of my Father which is in heaven,
the same is my brother, and sis-
ter, and mother.(KJV)
Christians are not to have any
fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness but, rather
reprove them (2Cor.6:14-18;
7:1-3; Eph.5:6-11). Christians
can’t have it our way, we must
do it Christ’s way, because we
are NOT our own, we have been
bought with a price (1Cor.6:20;
7:23).
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh, to fulfil
the lusts thereof. (see also Rom
13:11-13)
1 Cor 10: 20 But I say, that the
things which the Gentiles sacri-
fice, they sacrifice to devils, and
not to God: and I would not that
ye should have fellowship with
devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the
cup of the Lord, and the cup
of devils: ye cannot be partakers
of the Lord’s table, and of the
table of devils. 22 Do we pro-
voke the Lord to jealousy? are
we stronger than he? (KJV)
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk
in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17
For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary
the one to the other: so that ye
cannot do the things that ye
would.(see also Gal 5:25)
(KJV)
Eph 4:17 This I say therefore,
and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other
Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
their mind, 18 Having the
understanding darkened, being
alienated from the life of God
through the ignorance that is in
them, because of the blindness
of their heart: 19 Who being
past feeling have given them-
selves over unto lasciviousness,
to work all uncleanness with
greediness. 20 But ye have not
so learned Christ; 21 If so be
that ye have heard him, and have
been taught by him, as the truth
is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off
concerning the former conversa-
tion the old man, which is cor-
rupt according to the deceitful
lusts; 23 And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind; 24 And that
ye put on the new man, which
after God is created in righteous-
ness and true holiness. (see also
Eph 4:1-3)
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive
you with vain words: for
because of these things cometh
the wrath of God upon the chil-
dren of disobedience. 7 Be not
ye therefore partakers with
them. 8 For ye were sometimes
darkness, but now are ye light in
the Lord: walk as children of
light: 9 (For the fruit of the
Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;) 10
Proving what is acceptable unto
the Lord. 11 And have no fel-
lowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.
Contrary to what is being taught
in the religious world today,
EARTH is a Christians’ WORK
place (Philip2:5-16), there is no
time for FUN (horseplay),
Christians MUST redeem the
time (Eph.5:14-17). Christianity
is a SERIOUS LIFESTYLE, and
there is nothing more serious
than it; in that it is about either
having eternal life in HEAVEN,
or eternal death and torment in
HELL (Matt. 12:34-37;
Mark9:43-48; Luke16:19-25;
Heb.10:24-31). If Christ and
those before us SUFFERED not
to participate in such things,
why do “Christians” today think
they have the right not to suffer?
True Christians today must
SUFFER also, we MUST suffer
to be obedient and follow those
before us, so that we can cease
from sin (Philip.1:29; Heb.5:8-
9; 1 Pet 4:1-4). Here are some
more scriptural instructions
given for The Christian
Lifestyle, TRUE Christians
MUST focus and meditate on
these and such like, to be right
(righteous) with God, through
Christ and his apostles.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me,
Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?(see also
Matt.7:15-27)
John 12:25 (1)He that loveth
his life shall lose it; and (2)he
that hateth his life in this world

there shall also my servant be: if
any man serve me, him will my
Father honour.(KJV)

Rom 12:1 I beseech you there-
fore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is

the renewing of your mind, that

Rom 12:16 Be of the same
mind one toward another.
(1)Mind not high things, but
(2)condescend to men of (3)low
estate. Be not wise in your own
conceits. 17 Recompense to no
man evil for evil. Provide things
honest in the sight of all men. 18
If it be possible, as much as lieth
in you, live peaceably with all
men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge
not yourselves, but rather give
(4)place unto wrath: for it is
written, Vengeance is mine; I
will repay, saith the Lord. 20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger,
feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt
heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.(KJV)
Definitions: (1)Mind not high
things-5426 phroneo (fron-eh’-
o); from 5424; to exercise the
mind, to be (mentally) disposed;
intensively, to interest oneself in
(with concern or obedience):
KJV— set the affection on, (be)
care (-ful), (be like-, + be of one,
+ be of the same, + let this)
mind (-ed), regard, savour, think.
(2)condescend to men-4879
sunapago-a) used of a thing, that
is, by a thing, so as to experi-
ence with others the force of
what carries away b) to yield or
submit oneself to lowly things,
conditions, employments: not to
evade their power. (3)low
estate-5011 tapeinos-1) not ris-
ing far from the ground a) as a
condition, lowly, of low degree
b) brought low with grief,
depressed c) lowly in spirit,
humble. (4) give place unto
wrath-5117 topos-b) opportuni-
ty, power, occasion for acting
(see Matt.5:38-39)
Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith,
Awake thou that sleepest, and
arise from the dead, and Christ
shall give thee light. 15 See
then that ye walk (1)circum-
spectly, not as fools, but as
wise, 16 Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil. 17
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but
understanding what the will of
the Lord
is.(KJV)…….Definition: (1)cir-
cumspectly-exactly, accurately,
diligently. (See also Eph.3:1-5)
Phil 1:27 Only let your conver-
sation be as it becometh the
gospel of Christ: that whether I
come and see you, or else be
absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that ye stand fast in one
spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the
gospel; 28 And in nothing terri-
fied by your adversaries: which
is to them an evident token of
perdition, but to you of salva-
tion, and that of God. 29 For
unto you it is given in the behalf
of Christ, not only to believe on
him, but also to suffer for his
sake;(KJV)
Phil 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto
we have already attained, let us
walk by the same rule, let us
mind the same thing. 17
Brethren, be followers together
of me, and mark them which
walk so as ye have us for an
ensample. (see also Col 1:9-12;
1Thes 2:11-12; 1Tim 6:17-19)
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son,
yet learned he obedience by the
things which he suffered; 9
And being made perfect, he
became the author of eternal sal-
vation unto all them that obey
him;
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart
all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the
word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves. 23
For if any be a hearer of the
word, and not a doer, he is like
unto a man beholding his natural
face in a glass: 24 For he
beholdeth himself, and goeth his
way, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was. 25
But whoso looketh into the per-
fect law of liberty, and contin-
ueth therein, he being not a for-
getful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed
in his deed. (KJV)
James 1:27 Pure religion and
undefiled before God and the
Father is this, To visit the father-
less and widows in their afflic-
tion, and to keep himself
(1)unspotted from the (2)world.
Definitions: (1)unspotted-784
aspilos (as’-pee-los); from 1 (as
a negative particle) and 4695;
unblemished (physically or
morally): KJV— without spot,
unspotted. (2) from the world-
2889 kosmos-1) an apt and har-
monious arrangement or consti-
tution, order, government 6) the
ungodly multitude; the whole
mass of men alienated from
God, and therefore hostile to the
cause of Christ 7) world affairs,
the aggregate of things earthly
the whole circle of earthly
goods, endowments riches,
advantages, pleasures, etc.,
which although hollow and frail
and fleeting, stir desire, seduce
from God and are obstacles to
the cause of Christ
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it
hath not works, is dead, being
alone. 18 Yea, a man may say,
Thou hast faith, and I have
works: shew me thy faith with-
out thy works, and I will shew
thee my faith by my works. 19
Thou believest that there is one
God; thou doest well: the devils
also believe, and tremble. 20
But wilt thou know, O vain man,
that faith without works is
dead? (KJV)
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and
adulteresses, know ye not that
the (1)friendship of the world is
(2)enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a (3)friend of
the world is the enemy of
god.(see James 5:1-5)
Definitions: (1)friendship of
the world-5373 philia (fil-ee’-
ah);from 5384; fondness: KJV—
friendship.
(2)enmity with God-2189

2190; hostility; by implication, a
reason for opposition: KJV—
enmity, hatred. (3)friend-5384
philos (fee’-los); properly, dear,
i.e. a friend; actively,
fond, i.e. friendly (still as a
noun, an associate, neighbor,
etc.): KJV— friend.
I Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his
word, in him verily is the love of
God perfected: hereby know we
that we are in him. 6 He that
saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk, even as
he walked. (KJV)
I Jn 2:15 (1)Love not the
world, neither the things that
are in the (2)world. If any man
love the world, the (3)love of the
Father is not in him. 16 For all
that is in the world, the lust of
the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the
world. 17 And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever. 18 Little chil-
dren, it is the last time: and as ye
have heard that antichrist shall
come, even now are there many
antichrists; whereby we know
that it is the last time. 19 They
went out from us, but they were
not of us; for if they had been of
us, they would no doubt have
continued with us: but they went
out, that they might be made
manifest that they were not all
of us. 20 But ye have an unction
from the Holy One, and ye know
all things. 21 I have not written
unto you because ye know not
the truth, but because ye know
it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that deni-
eth that Jesus is the Christ? He
is (4)antichrist, that (5)denieth
the Father and the Son. 23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the
same hath not the Father: (but)
he that acknowledgeth the Son
hath the Father also. 24 Let that
therefore abide in you, which ye
have heard from the beginning.
If that which ye have heard from
the beginning shall remain in
you, ye also shall continue in the
Son, and in the Father. 25 And
this is the promise that he hath
promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written
unto you concerning them that
(6)seduce you.(KJV)
Definitions: (1)Love not the
world -25 agapao (ag-ap-ah’-o);
perhaps from agan (much) [or
compare 5689]; to love (in a
social or moral sense), 1) used
of persons: to welcome, to enter-
tain, to be fond of, to love dearly
2) used of things: to be well
pleased, to be contented at or

aggregate of things earthly the
whole circle of earthly goods,
endowments riches, advantages,
pleasures, etc., which although
hollow and frail and fleeting, stir
desire, seduce from God and are
obstacles to the cause of Christ.
(3)the love of the Father is not
in him-26 agape (ag-ah’-pay);
from 25; love, i.e. affection or
benevolence; specially (plural) a
love-feast: KJV— (feast of)
charity ([-ably]), dear, good will,
love. (4)He is antichrist-500
antichristos (an-tee’-khris-tos);
from 473 and 5547; an opponent

TRUE Christians, i.e. followers
of God, through Christ and his
apostles, do not have any exam-
ple of those before us having
EARTHLY, CARNAL, SECU-
LAR fun, joys, pleasures, par-
ties, and revellings or any such
things. But rather, we have been
warned against such. Note the
examples of the joys and pleas-
ures of Christians before us;
they are NOT EARTHLY, CAR-
NAL, SECULAR ones, thereby
following the instructions of
JESUS CHRIST THE SAVOUR,
(John 12:24-26). These are the
same ones TRUE Christians
must follow, to be right “right-
eous” with GOD through Christ
and his apostles:
Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I
go bound in the spirit unto
Jerusalem, not knowing the
things that shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost
witnesseth in every city, saying
that bonds and afflictions abide
me. 24 But none of these things
move me, neither count I my
life dear unto myself, so that I
might finish my course with joy,
and the ministry, which I have
received of the Lord Jesus, to
testify the gospel of the grace of
God. (see also Rom 5:10-11;
Rom 14:17-18; Rom 15:13;
Rom 15:32-33)
2 Cor 12:10 Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for
Christ’s sake: for when I am
weak, then am I strong.(see also
Eph 1:5; Phil 1:3-6; Phil 1:25)
Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that
ye be likeminded, having the
same love, being of one accord,
of one mind.(see also1Thes 1:6-
7; 2:19-20; 2Tim 1:4; Phil 4:1-
4; Phile 1:20; Heb 12:2-3 )
WHAT IS TRUTH? THANKSGIVING BY CHRIST

James 1:2 My brethren, count
it all joy when ye fall into
divers temptations; 3 Knowing
this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience. (see also
James 5:7-8)
1 Pet 4:12 Beloved, think it not
strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though
some strange thing happened
unto you: 13 But rejoice, inas-
much as ye are partakers of
Christ’s sufferings; that, when
his glory shall be revealed, ye
may be glad also with exceeding
joy.(KJV)
II Jn 1:3 Grace be with you,
mercy, and peace, from God the
Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of the Father, in
truth and love. 4 I rejoiced
greatly that I found of thy chil-
dren walking in truth, as we
have received a commandment
from the Father.(KJV)
3 Jn 1:1 The elder unto the
wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love
in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish
above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as
thy soul prospereth. 3 For I
rejoiced greatly, when the
brethren came and testified of
the truth that is in thee, even as
thou walkest in the truth. 4 I
have no greater joy than to hear
that my children walk in
truth.(KJV)
We believe that there are some
that perceive, understand and
even believe these truths; but
because of different reasons, do
not choose to accept them. We
believe that weakness maybe
one reason. We also believe that
such ones might ask these ques-
tions: “How can I tell my wife,
husband, children, or friends?”
“How can I tell my father, moth-
er, or kindred, that these are
truths?” The question should be:
“How can a Christian, i.e. fol-
lower of Christ, not tell the truth
to all (the truth being the
WORD)”, John17:16-17?
Followers of Christ through his
apostles MUST tell the TRUTH
at all times, for no lie is of the
truth, and there is no lie in
Christ, James 3:14; 1John 1:5-
10 and 2:21-29. Christians must
be strong in the faith, not in a
faith, and have been instructed
to quit like men. “1 Cor 16:13
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
(1)quit you like men, be
strong.” Warning, for being
timid, “fearful”; cause damna-
tion. “Rev 21:8 But the (2)fear-
ful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.”
Definitions: (1)quit you like
men-407 andrizomai (an-drid’-
zom-ahee);middle voice from
435; to act manly, 2) to show
oneself a man, be brave: KJV—
quit like men. (2)fearful 1169
deilos-timid, fearful
We believe that pride may be
another reason for the refusal of
the truth, in that we don’t like
admitting that we have been
wrong. Jesus said that pride,
among other things is evil, and
defileth the man, see Mark
7:20-23; Mark 9:43-48. This is
true because first, and most of
all Jesus said it. Secondly, when
it hinders one from saving his
own soul and the souls of others,
by not admitting the truth by the
word, can anything be more
evil? Remember, among other
things the WORD is profitable
for correction: 2 Tim 3:16 All
scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correc-
tion, for instruction in righteous-
ness: 17 That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly fur-
nished unto all good works. We
must not be too proud to accept
the WORD; after all it is Christ
John1:1-18, and it is what will
judge us in the last day
John12:46-50. We must change
our minds and then our ways if
we want to be SAVED,
“Repent” Mark 9:43-48; Rom.
12:1-2; 2Pet.3:8-18.
Then the scriptures tells us of
the few that will find and accept
the WORD, and the many that
will not accept it because of
being blinded by the god of this
world, “the Devil”; Matt.7:13-
29 and 22:14; “2 Cor 4:1
Therefore seeing we have this
ministry, as we have received
mercy, we faint not; 2 But have
renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in crafti-
ness, nor handling the word of
God deceitfully; but by manifes-
tation of the truth commending
ourselves to every man’s con-
science in the sight of God. 3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid
to them that are lost: 4 In whom
the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is
the image of God, should shine
unto them. 5 For we preach not
ourselves, but Christ Jesus the
Lord; and ourselves your ser-
vants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God,
who commanded the light to
shine out of darkness, hath
shined in our hearts, to give the
light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ.” (See also Luke 4:1-13;
1John5:19-21; Rev.12:9 and
13:6-9)
1 Pet 4:17 For the time is come
that judgment must begin at the
house of God: and if it first
begin at us, what shall the end
be of them that obey not the
gospel of God? 18 And if the
(1)righteous (2)scarcely be
saved, where shall the ungodly
and the sinner appear? 19
Wherefore let them that suffer
according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their
souls to him in well doing, as
unto a faithful Creator.
Definitions: (1)righteous-1342
dikaios-righteous, observing
divine laws. (2)scarcely be
saved -3433 molis (mol’-is);
probably by var. for 3425; with
difficulty, 2) not easily, very
rarely: KJV— hardly, scarce (-
ly), + with much work.
Dear reader, our hope is that you
would question those “Religious
Leaders” by the Apostles’ doc-
trine, that observe, and or
impose these unscriptural tradi-
tions upon you. Jesus Christ
said that the belief of him is in
the apostles’ word, so that we
ALL will be ONE (John17:14-
21; Acts1:1-4; 2:42) because he
gave them, the apostles the
Word, and they Kept IT,
(John17:5-10). Remember the
engrafted Word is also able to
save our souls if we are doers of
it and not hearers only (James
1:21-22). He that hath an ear,
let them hear and then strive to
do, if we are to be of the Church
that Christ is building (Acts
2:47).
Please remember as always, the
purpose of these articles is to
seek the TRUTH according to
the WORD, thereby exposing
ERROR, for the purpose of sav-
ing our souls. We believe this is
best done by definitions and the
Preponderance of
SCRIPTURES; which is having
superior weight, force, impor-
tance, or influence of Scripture.
Again we believe this allows
Scripture to Interpret Scripture,
thereby allowing a better under-
standing on that topic. Again,
thank you so much for your
interest in the WORD of
TRUTH; Grace and Salvation;
John 17:17-21; Acts 20:29-32;
James1:21-25. After all it is our
MAP to HEAVEN and away
from HELL!

PRECIOUS is Time. Therefore while you have
time, use it to learn and do Gods Commandments
for at the end of life is pay time and your pay will
be according as your work has been. You will find
in 2 Corinthians 5:10 the following: “For we must
all appear before the judgement seat of Christ,
that everyone may recive the things done in his
body according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or evil.” You will find in John 15:14. “Ye
are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command
you.” Solomon said in Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man
will hear and will increase learning, and a man of
understanding will attain unto wise counsel.”
How shall we escape if we neglect to great
Salvation: Hebrew 2:1-3 Salvation is to be worked
out. It will not work itself out; God will not work
it out for us. �o one can work it out for us. It is
the duty of man to work out his own salvation.
How! With fear and trembling. Phil. 2:12. Pray
fervently, attend the Lord’s Day Worship, Be on
time, Take active part in Singing, Teaching of God
Word, Giving as we prosper and taking the
Lord’s Supper with death.

Prairie View, Texas- With an
over flowing crowd of some-
where around 12,000 fans the
Panthers clawed their way past
Alcorn State 52-37. They also
withstood a 282 yard passing
effort from former Booker T.
Washington and Studewood
Cobras John Gibbs who plays
for Alcorn State these days. But
it was the near perfect passing of
former Lufkin quarterback
De’Auntre Smiley who burned
the Braves for 251 yards and
four touchdowns on 16 of 20
passing. He also added 31 more
yards on the ground and made
the Braves defense work double
duty.
Former Smiley High School
standout DeAndre Cooper
hauled in six passes for 95 yards
and one score. The well bal-
anced Panthers attack also saw
Jacoby Anderson grab two pass-
es for 51 yards and two touch-
downs. Even former Madison
Marlin Idowu Olantunde
grabbed a five yard scoring pass
from Smiley to end the Panthers
52 point day.
The day started as Gibbs pass
was caught but the receiver
failed to get his feet down in
bound and the field goal try was
blocked. The Panthers went back
up field and Spencer Nelson ran
26 yards for the first score of the
game. After a turn over, the
Panthers struck again when
Chris Barrick booted a 23 yard
field goal for a 10-0 lead.
Alcorn answered when Devon
Francois went 85 yards with a
fumble recovery to put the
Braves back in it. Then Smiley
went to work and found Jacoby
Anderson from 37 yards out and
a 17 to 7 advantage. The Braves
answered with a 24 yard field
goal from Ernesto Santillan only
to watch as Smiley hit Greg
Thurmond from 46 yards away
and a 24-10 halftime lead.
Fred Anderson opened the sec-
ond half scoring with a 15 yard
run for a score and Smiley
struck again this time to
Deandre Cooper from 50 yards
out and a commanding 39-10
lead. Right after that Terrence
Lewis broke free on a big 94
yard kickoff return and follow-
ing a turn over Nick Brooks
hauled in a 3 yard scoring pass
from Jordan Payne and it was
38-24. The Panthers got creative
as Spencer Nelson tossed and
option back pass to Nick
Shumaker from 19 yards out and
a 45-31 lead. But Smiley was
not finished yet he found former
Madison Marlin Idowu
Olantunde’ from 5 yards out.
Then Alcorn’s John Gibbs raced
12 yards for a score to end the
scoring at 52-37.
Once again it was great to be
upon the hill and all the color
that goes with black college
football.

Mr. and Miss PVAM of 1962
As we roll into the playoffs for
the Studewood Cobras first year
player Jlesip Garcia is getting
into a groove. The 3rd grader at
John F. Kennedy has been thrust
into the center position on the
freshman Cobras and doing a
fine job.
In the classroom Jlesip made
three Bs and one C in the last
grading period and certainly
loves Math best. Crediting his
teacher with doing a fine job and
who says he really likes being in
her classroom.
The handsome lad is the son of
Maria and Ignacio Garcia and
they are members at Christ The
King Catholic Church. Maria is
a 2006 graduate of Booker T.
Washington High School. She
currently is working with the
Cobras and looking forward to
the playoffs. “I’ve always want-
ed to get Jlesip into football and
we are happy to have him out
with the Cobras”.
In his spare time Jlesip loves to
play basketball and the football
video games with his father and
they take turns winning.
When asked about his most driv-
ing force in life Jlesip said out-
side his parents, he really thinks
his teachers at JFK Elementary
are doing a fine job.
Adding he wouldn’t do anything
difference if he started over
again because in his mind he
had made the most of his oppor-
tunities in life.
On the subject of Barack Obama
becoming the first African
American President of the
U.S.A. Jlesip said he thinks its
just great and he too feels some-
day he can become the first
Hispanic American to be
President. He went on to say he
thinks President Obama is doing
a fine job and if he could vote
he would vote to give him a sec-
ond term.
In closing we asked Garcia to
describe himself and he stated
he is a guy who has plenty of
good looking hair on his head
and loves the Houston Texans
and the Studewood Cobras as his
two favorite football teams.
We are glad to have the Garcia
family out with the Cobras and
Jlesip won the crown of Prince
for the freshmen squad as he
tied with Cameron Daughtry in
fund raiser sells. Both will be
honored along with all the other
Cobras when they hold their
36th Annual Banquet December
2, 2012 at the Campbell Center!

DE’AUNTRE SMILEY-PV
Prairie View, Texas-On a day
when the Panthers needed a win
in the worse kind of way sopho-
more quarterback DeAuntre
Smiley did his thing. To the
tune of 16 of 20 for 251 yards
and four touchdowns and he
rushed for 31 more yards on five
carries. The Lufkin graduate
talked with us following the
game. Right off the bat he said
“Rest in Peace” for his late high
school coach John Outlaw who
passed away on December 23rd.
“Coach Outlaw was a very posi-
tive influence in my life and he
and I would talk for long periods
of time and he taught me to not
only be a good quarterback but a
good person as well”. The 6
feet 2 inch 225 pound quarter-
back made life rough for the
Braves defense all day long.
“They got to bring it to pull me
down once I get going, but
Alcorn came to play today and
we needed this win so we have
been working hard in practice
getting ready for them".
Thanks to his effort Smiley
shared SWAC Player of the
Week honors with teammate
kicker Chris Barrick who made
seven of eight extra points and
added two field goals in the win
over Alcorn State.
Smiley connected with four dif-
ferent receivers for his four
touchdowns; two to running
backs and two to receivers. Talk
about spreading the ball around,
this kid did it all on this fine day
for football upon the hill.
When you look at the youth on
this team you can see the
Panthers are building to be
strong in the very near future.
The big quarterback came into
his own when he rushed for 170
yards and passed for 398 and
threw four touchdowns in a 49-
29 come from behind win over
Southern University in the 3rd
Annual Shreveport Classic. The
sophomore from Lufkin is got it
going on these days and look for
more of the same as Panthers
win 3 straight.
JOSHUA SIMMONS-YATES
The 8th Annual Fiesta Booker-
Bryant Memorial Classic took
on a chill of more than one
accord. The Mighty Jack Yates
Lions battled the hard fighting
Booker T. Washington Eagles to
a scoreless tie at the end of one
period. Then senior
quarterbackJoshua Simmons
went to work with short passes
and getting the Lions in position
for the score. He then took mat-
ters in his own hands and scored
on a 22 yard gallop with 8.37
left in the second period. A little
less than three minutes follow-
ing a Washington turnover,
Simmons did his thing again
from one yard out. He also con-
nected on six of nine passes for
101 yards and added 23 more
yards on the ground. But in the
second period he strained his
ACL and spent the entire second
half on crutches but he had done
enough to lead the Lions to vic-
tory. “They say it’s strained and
I plan to have an MRI done in
the morning to see, but I sure
hope I can be back to help my
team in the playoffs. You can
rest assured Coach Ronald
Miller and the Lions staff have
their fingers crossed also.
Simmons credited Washington
with playing a tough game and
said the Lions had to have this
one after Washington edged
them a year ago 14-13 at
Delmar. “I knew we had to
come out strong in order to get
the jump on them because we
knew they would fight hard”. It
was their fifth district victory
leaving them at the top of the
District 23-3A.The win is the
Lions sixth in eight games this
year and they are going to need
Simmons services in their show-
down for the district title with
Kashmere. Victor Gaines is the
backup who also got to see
action in the games and is ready
just in case Simmons can’t go.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Time really does fly when
you’re having fun. Fact is Titus
Bryant is a sophomore second
year starter at Jack Yates center
position. Yes the former
Studewood Cobra who once
dominated the little league line
play on both sides of the ball is
now one of the leaders on the
Yates offensive line.
While playing in the 8th Annual
Fiesta Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic he kept the Yates backs
free from Booker T. Washington
defenders all night long.
Titus is the grandson of former
Washington Coach James “Bear”
Bryant who coached the Eagles
to the University Interscholastic
League semi-final game in 1968.
That was the second year after
Texas High Schools integrated
in 1967. Bryant went on to
coach at Forest Brook where he
coached Chris Bias who passed
for five thousand yards in a sin-
gle season (1986) a record
which still stands today. Just
another note Bear also wrote a
book on “The Art of Passing”
helping influence other coaches
to pass the football more.
In talking with Titus we asked
what is it like to win the game
his grandfather is honor by. “It
makes me want to cry tears of
joy to think I’m playing in this
game and what a great coach my
grandfather must have been for
people to be still honoring him
today”. Born two years after
Bear passed away Titus never
got the pleasure of meeting his
grandfather but you can rest
assured his grandmother (Mrs.
Charlotte Bryant) has told him
plenty about the legendary
coach.
Back to the 13-3 win over the
Washington Eagles for the sec-
ond year starter at center, Bryant
added he feels if the Lions play
together and follow their coach-
ing instructions this team could
make a good run in the playoffs.
They will face Kashmere for the
district title next weekend and
then look forward to the playoffs
following their season finale
against old rival Jones. “We
kind of have it going for us after
our slow start and I truly feel we
are going to do well in post sea-
son play.
In closing please allow me to
add Bryant is the first freshman
to start on the offensive line in
Jack Yates history and is taking
on more of a leadership role as
his career unfolds!

HEISHMA NORTHERN-PV
Prairie View, Texas-In his sec-
ond season as the head football
coach at P.V. Heishma Northern
is getting his team together.
Following their big 52-37 victo-
ry over Alcorn State University
in their Homecoming matchup
he was excited. “We told our
guys each game is the most
important game of the season
and it started with the win in
Dallas against Grambling State
University”. Northern and his
Panthers still can make the
SWAC title game with a run of
the table. “Oh we are just look-
ing forward to the game against
Southern in the Shreveport
Classic”.
We moved on to talk about the
Panthers game plan to deal with
freshman sensation John Gibbs.
“We didn’t want him to come
home and beat us so we tried to
keep him bottled up and certain-
ly we did not want him to run
and beat us”. The second year
coach went on to say the Braves
signal caller still got free for a
49 yard bomb and finished the
game with 282 yards passing. “I
felt the wind sort of affected the
way they wanted to throw the
football and they kept their pass-
es short and they made it better
for us to defend, but he still got
free a couple of times on us any-
way”.
Feeling his team is jelling at the
right time, Northern says the
Panthers are on the move and
things could work out for them
if they simply prepare one week
at a time. “We’ve got to take this
thing and work it just to play
one more good game and then
another one and so on. We can’t
afford to look ahead, our minds
are on Southern right now"!
RONALD MILLER-YATES
After working with Nathaniel
“Puddin” Jones for 18 years, the
past two years Ronald Miller has
found himself going against him.
Last year in the 7th Annual
Fiesta Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic the Yates Lions fell to
the Booker T. Washington
Eagles 14-13. But Miller vowed
to get back at his old buddy and
he did this time around 13-3.
“We knew Washington's chances
of making the playoffs were all
but gone, but they still played
very hard and we want to com-
mend them on that”. Yates
scored twice in the second peri-
od and it was enough as they
turned back the Eagles on sever-
al drives and held them to a 48
yard field goal by Alejandro
Arambula. “We knew Booker T.
was going to play us hard so we
tried to get out front and hold
on, because they has always had
good talent and played us hard”.
After last year’s game Jones
forced Miller to wear a
Washington t-shirt from the
Fiesta Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic and he couldn’t help but
show off his Yates t-shirt follow-
ing the game for our television
videos. “Yes the Fiesta Booker-
Bryant trophy is right where it
belongs with the Jack Yates
Lions”. But again on a serious
note the Lions had several key
players go down with injuries.
The Lions leading rusher Arthur
Lockett set out the second half
with a bump, but quarterback
Joshua Simmons who scored
both Lions touchdowns in the
second quarter spent the second
half on crutches on the sidelines.
But thanks to his 106 yards
passing and his 23 yards of rush-
ing including the game’s only
two touchdowns, he still man-
aged to win the most valuable
player award. “We have an MRI
scheduled for Joshua on tomor-
row and we are hoping for the
best”. It was good to see Miller
laughing and enjoying himself
after the game. The former two-
way player from Yates in the
early 70s has spent more than 35
years at the school. “We try and
conduct ourselves in the manner
which Coach Luther Booker
would have wanted us too”.
Miller played on the first Jack
Yates team coached by Booker
in 1971. “Coach Booker set a
standard for us to follow and we
are doing our best to stay along
those lines”.

PV Head CoachHeishma �orthern
FRED ANDERSON-PV
Prairie View, Texas-Sophomore
running back Fred Anderson led
all rushers with 103 yards and
scored one touchdown on a 15
yard gallop. It helped the
Panthers of P.V. beat Alcorn
State 52-37 to keep their SWAC
title hopes alive. Anderson in
his second season from Cypress
Woods High School is a solid
built 5 feet 9 inch 175 pound
back with good moves and
speed as well. “We just kept
making mistakes and Alcorn was
taking advantage of them, but
we finally got it all together and
held on to win the game”.
When asked if the Panthers
could run the table and make the
SWAC title game Anderson
thought first and then answered;
"Yes sir I feel we can if we sim-
ply continue to get better and
take this one game at a time”.
He went on to say the slow start
is behind the team now and the
win in Dallas against Grambling
was a plus for the team and they
are on the right track now. For
the record that’s the first time
P.V. has beaten Grambling State
in consecutive years since 1963
and 1964 under the late Billy
Nicks. “It was kind of up and
down for us for a while but once
we stop giving up the big plays
and got our offense going we
been playing better football”.
ALEJANDRO ARAMBUL
BTW
For what it’s worth for the third
time this season Alejandro
Arambula has helped the Booker
T. Washington Eagles avert the
shutout. It was his 48 yard field
goal in the fourth period that
accounted for the Eagles only
points in their 13-3 loss to the
Jack Yates Lions. The senior
kicker has a good strong leg and
a solid 4.0 G.P.A. in the class-
room at Washington and he is
certainly going to kick the ball
on the next level and perhaps
beyond. “I understand we don’t
have a kicking coach but I love
my coaches and teammates here
at Booker T. Washington
because we all work together”.
Just think if this kid could get
some training how good he
would be. The 8th Annual
Fiesta Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic held at Barnett Stadium
on a cool brisk Friday night and
the Lions roared to a 13-0 lead
but failed to score in the second
half. This allowed the Eagles to
hang around and with Arambula
strong leg, the Eagles are always
good for 3, 6 or 9 points in a
game. Fact is the week before
in the Eagles loss to Kashmere,
Arambula boomed one from 50
yards or so to give the Eagles
their only sux points of the con-
test.
Without a doubt the big schools
should be looking at this kid
because he has proven over the
past three years he can get the
job done.
We will certainly be following
Arambula for the next two
games and we will have a stu-
dent of the week profile on him
later as well. But again we say
we know great when we see it
and this kid has got great poten-
tial and the colleges had better
take a good long look at this
kid!

Prairie View, Texas-My mind
quickly goes back to his little
league days when a tall skinny
kid came out to the Studewood
Cobras and was already 11 years
of age. Needless to say he was
certainly behind those who had
been out for football since they
were five and six years old. But
it mattered not because accord-
ing to Studewood Cobras varsity
coach Reggie Washington, John
Gibbs was special right from the
start. “King I had him only one
year and once we taught him to
roll out to get away from the
rush he was a near perfect quar-
terback for us”. Gibbs then
joined a summer track program
and worked on his speed and
even became a hurdler before
his high school career was over.
After that he was super in mid-
dle school and by the time he
was in the 9th grade at Booker
T. Washington Senior High
School he had developed leader-
ship skills and was ready to lead
his team each time he took to
the field. Former BTW standout
defensive line Dr. Victor Keys
came back from a freshman
game and told me this Gibbs
kids is great and he is going to
do well for BTW in the coming
years. Despite going to coach-
ing changes three times, Gibbs
still managed to go 10 of 11
against Jack Yates in the Fiesta
Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic and took home the
Rising Star award in his junior
year. He came back under his
third coach in his senior year
and led the Eagles to a win over
Jack Yates 14-13 and won the
MVP of the annual fall classic
and continued to show the best
touch as a passer since Andy
Dalton was at Katy a few years
earlier.
In addition to his touch, Gibbs
can throw the ball down field
when he needs to as well. After
covering sports for more than 30
years we feel good about this
kid and before he is done we
feel he is going to re-write the
record books at Alcorn State
University before he is done.
Head coach Jay Hopson talked
with us following the game at
PV and commented on his prize
freshman signal caller. “As you
know we are building and John
Gibbs is certainly part of our
plan and more important than
his abilities on the field he is
such an outstanding young man
as well”. Hopson who is in his
first year as the Braves head
man went on to mention that
Fred “Air” McNair is the quar-
terback coach and working very
hard to keep Gibbs getting better
each week.
After his 22 of 32 for 282 yards
and one touchdown plus eight
rushes for 30 yards including a
12 yard scoring run in the
fourth, we spoke with John
Gibbs. “Yes sir I feel we are
getting there and with Fred
McNair working with me I hope
to get better as the weeks go
by”. Gibbs who we feel has it
all going for him is a Mass
Communication Major and is
certainly off to a flying start.
Funny how some 18 years ago
the late Steve McNair scored
eight touchdowns and amassed
more than 600 yards on that
same field and went on to finish
third in the balloting for the
Heisman award that next spring.
We couldn’t help but ask Gibbs
if he felt two or three years
down the road he could be doing
the very same thing. “Yes sir I
feel it’s all here for me and I cer-
tainly plan to make the most of
my opportunities and I’m learn-
ing everything as fast as I can”.
During the last 30 years we’ve
ran across some great ones and
let me be the first to tell you this
kid is right on the that list.
Now Gibbs will join such names
as Rodney Hampton, Johnny
Bailey, Broderick Thomas and
Santana Dotson to name a few.

Hey Lovers, do you believe in
Love?....Love at first sight?..
Romeo and Juliette? Believe it
or not there are some people in
this world that don’t believe in
Love, and I guess they have
their reasons. Sometimes we go
through such bad relationships
time and time again, that it caus-
es us to give up on love. I can
understand taking a break, but
we should never give up com-
pletely. Sometimes we should
take a break and think about
what has gone wrong, was it me,
was it him, was it them, but
never say never...There are also
some people who have never
experienced Love, or should I
say real Love; this could be you.
It’s a good thing if you have had
good examples to follow, parents
who were in a good relationship
or even friends. We know this is
not always the case. Can we
learn how to love from a book? I
say yes and no. It’s like going to
school - you get all the book
knowledge, but until you get that
job and get the hands on experi-
ence it’s nothing like it.
Therefore I conclude there is
nothing wrong with reading
about it, and not the romance
novels, for you are sure to have
some drama in those. You
should be a little more factual I
think and just apply the principle
to the natural way of doing
things. I know that may sound
like something out of a Dr. Phil
show, but don’t knock it espe-
cially if it works for somebody
out there looking for Love.
As for as Love at first sight, I
personally don’t believe in it.
Maybe lust at first sight... A
strong feeling of I think I like
this person.. There is really no
way to love unless you truly get
to know a person. I know the
bible verse “God is Love”, but
when it comes to relationships,
and being in love it’s a whole
new ball game. I also believe the
more you get to know your mate
and the more you are together,
the more you trust and respect
them. The stronger love
becomes, the harder it is to be
torn apart by the trials and tribu-
lations of life.
Now for Romeo and Juliette, yes
it was a love story, but in reality
if you are in Love with someone
to that level, and it is possible,
then any thing is possible. What
do the wedding vows say? Till
Death Do us Part...It actually
happens more than you think..
Make sure you tune in to “The
Love Corner” on Wednesday
nights with EZ Robbins and me
and special guests as we discuss
issues on relationships, maybe
even your relationship, on
KCOH 1430am at 8pm.
The top love songs for this
month are 1 A House is not a
Home Luther Vandross 2 Get
Here Oletha Adams 3 I’ve got
Love on My Mind Natalie Cole
4 Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Patti Labelle and 5 Stay Tyrese.
My Local Artist of the month is
David Walker the Country Boy
who appeared as co-host on A
Blue Monday at KCOH. He has
several releases which you can
hear on KCOH and be picked up
on iTunes, and is currently on
his Cowboy Cool tour through-
out the Dirty South.
So until next time, put a little
love in your heart, the look of
love in your eyes, and make sure
you tell someone you love them,
even if that someone is you.

600 sites worldwide on this day.
I was honored to be allowed to ride in support of this day in
2011. We met at a Wal Mart parking lot in �ew Caney very
early in the morning. About 100 motorcycles escorted the Wal
Mart trucks containing the wreaths. We left at dawn with a
police escort and headed to the Houston �ational Cemetery.
When we arrived we set up a flag line at the Hemicycle. At the
appropriate time, the ceremony started. A color guard provided
by a Boy Scout Troop presented the colors. Then after the bless-
ings and memorials, a ceremonial wreath was presented for
each branch of the services. After the wreaths were presented,
we went to the stock of wreaths and selected a wreath. From
there we went to a grave and placed it with great respect. Every
one of us was asked to take a moment to read the name on the
stone and try to honor them for their service. This was repeated
until all wreaths were placed.
If you have a family member or friend at the H�C, you may
request that the grave be marked with a small red flag. The
general public will respect the marker and you will be able to
place the wreath on the grave yourself. This is a wonderful way
to honor a loved one on this solemn occasion.
If you are able to stay, it is a very moving experience to view
the graves in the rows with the wreaths in place. Last year, as I
was walking back to my motorcycle, I passed a woman kneeling
over a grave crying. I asked her if she needed a hug and she
nodded. After holding her and offering comfort I asked why she
was there for. She showed me the grave of her father, a military
veteran. �ext to his grave was that of her mother, also a veter-
an. I walked back to where I was parked with a tear in my eye
but a warm feeling in my soul.
This year the Wreaths across America will be held on
December 15. For more information and to learn how to partic-
ipate visit them at: http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/
So, you want to hang out… just
maybe not until 3:00 am any-
more; then Happy Hour is a
great time to get out and min-
gle! You can enjoy cocktails
and still be home by 10:00 pm
because beauty rest is quite
important. Happy Hours are
the best time to try out new
restaurants; you can sample
their food and they offer great
drink specials too!
Another option is to have at
home happy hours where friends
can bring their favorite wines,
desserts or signature dishes.
Add another twist and bring
another person that’s new to the
group as your happy hour
“potluck” contribution.
Saturday or Sunday morning
brunch is another way to inter-
act with people that are not just
night owls or doing the bar
crawl. There are so many cool
coffee houses for early morning
risers to catch up on current
events, or spend the afternoon at
a wine bar to relax, unwind and
engage in a conversation that’s
not drowned out by music or
overzealous patrons; try sitting
out on the patios as the weather
cools down or at the bar where
you can engage in stimulating
conversation.
Step out of the shadow of the
booth in the corner and into the
afternoon light. Often weekdays
are the best time to try new
places. Leave the weekend to
the amateur partiers.
There are other opportunities to
enjoy great music, and cocktails
without the pulsating sounds
from 80 inch speakers. Although
I do remember when I thought
there would never be any other
way to enjoy music!
A night out doesn’t have to take
all night! So take a blanket,
your dog or other best friends
(Don’t forget the wine) and head
out to a concert in the park with
a local band or your favorite
artist, soak up the sun and the
energy of the folks around you.
Enjoy!
I have always in some sense
supported most University
Interscholastic League decisions
regarding Texas athletics. The
U.I.L. has received plenty of
criticisms and no doubt their
current policies will create some
heat also. But trust me dear
readers, this time it’s unwarrant-
ed. In fact, its just a waste of
time. The first policy update
allowing a fourth teams from
Class 3A and 2A was the right
move. Sorry old schoolers, but
this should have happened years
ago when it was implemented
for Class 5A and 4A. This will
take place during the 2013-14
school year. It simply gives
more young athletes exposure to
colleges and thus more opputun-
ties for athletic scholarships.
How could anyone disagree with
that? Rest assured many will
stating it waters down the play-
off structure. Don’t look now
but not many if any that I could
recall fourth place teams in 5A
or 4A made it to the title games.
Teams lose in the playoffs
because they fail to produce
defesnive stops in key moments
in the game or fail to score
enough points during the game.
A fourth place finished fourth
for a reason. Making the play-
offs won’t change their team
very much. This policy change
is good to go!
Secondly, beginning this year if
both schools agree, playoff
games can be televised. I sup-
port this policy 100%. Cable
networks have had issues with
Texas for years regarding their
decision for not allowing high
school football games to be tele-
vised on Friday nights. Friday
nights belong to the high schools
but networks opened their check
books and some colleges, beg-
ging for both money and expo-
sure leaped at the chance to grab
Friday night for their programs.
Peasonally, I’m at a high school
game. so I could care less who’s
on television. But allowing the
playoff games to be televised
allows the nation to see what we
in Texas have known for years-
high school football in this state
is the best this nation has to
offer.
Thirdly this policy will no doubt
create a lot of heat. Beginning
next year, basketball teams
(which will be effected the most
by this policy) can only partici-
pate in two tournaments per year
and 21 regular season games
prior to the playoffs. This will
make tournament selections very
difficult for some schools espe-
cially for temas with a lot of tal-
ent, that fans and universities
want to see. I think this policy
wants to remind the student/ath-
lete of his/her main goal-be a
student first. We have in this
state so many young people that
don’t get a good education and
are simply ill prepared to move
to college related work. That in
itself is why so many in our
society want to remove athletics
from the educational system.
The costs of travel is just too
high. Money is an issue that all
school districts face. Is this a
good polcy? It has some good
points, but overall we’ll have to
wait and see. Texas High Scool
Basketball is now considered by
many to be near the best in the
country. This policy could
change that perception. I’ll talk
to coaches, players and some
athletic directors next year to get
their opinions.
Overall I think these policies are
the right things to do.
That’s just the way I see it!

UIL CHANGES MAKE SENSEThe WayI See It
By BIG John Chandler
It is possible that, barring a
repeat of the Bush v Gore elec-
tion protracted vote count deci-
sion of 2000, by the time you
read this the President of the
United States will soon be or
already has been chosen by
American voters. Like much in
life, elections hold lessons for us
well beyond their obviously dis-
cernible results. Campaigns are
about perceptions and how we
imagine ourselves to in the
national image; elections, on the
other hand, are about final vote
counts, tallied results, and hard
data. The way we are, as
opposed to who we aspire to be.
Every four years, with varying
degrees of vitriol, indignation,
and outrage politicians, pundits
and faithful of the contesting
parties remind us that if we vote
for those who do not share their
views and values, precisely, then
we have no one to blame but
ourselves for the certain
Armageddon that will ensue.
It has been thus for me eversince I became old enough tounderstand the language ofgrass roots, unsophisticated,kitchen table politics. Throughthe years, the people on theother side were usually renderedas caricatures of themselves. �omatter what their accomplish-ments, they were foremost, theEnemy, come in the flesh todestroy our great country andworsen the quality and of our
personal lives. Hence, preach-ers, teachers, lawyers, laborunions, and community organiz-ers were useful idiots for com-munists; as the years wore onthe other side came to resentbeing vilified as the other side,so they identified their own vil-lains on the other side’s side.Still with me? The result was alengthy list of villains including,but not limited to, the military-industrial complex, puppet gov-ernments, right wing deathsquads, corporate robberbarons, war profiteers, and vul-
ture capitalists. Hence, I havedetermined that to know myfriends from my enemies I mustpay closer attention to the“�eo-Conservative, severelyconservative, biased liberalright wing prejudiced media,and the leftist, socialist, capital-ist, Marxist oligarchicPlutocracy from which they gaintheir credibility. The amazingthing is that on this exaggeratedbasis, or something very muchakin to it, we nobly trek to thepolling places throughout ourcountry armed with the votingtraditions of our families, cul-ture, or our own political obser-vations to defend or destroywhatever we have in mind. Ihave always marveled at theresilience of our nation to with-stand these great biennial andquadrennial political upheavals.On to 2014!

North Forest continued their
winning ways with a 56-0 blank-
ing of Jeff Davis for their 9th
win of the season against no
defeats. If you recall North
Forest combined Forest Brook
and Smiley High Schools into
one and it’s paying off big for
them on the football field.
Anthony Jones started it off with
only four carries but picked up
75 yards and scored twice.
While teammate Alex Benjamin
had only 55 yards on seven car-
ries but he also scored twice.
Quarterback Darrell Julian hit on
six of 10 passes for 93 yards and
two more touchdowns in the
win. DeMarcus Jackson had a
big 42 yard scoring pass from
Julian and DeShawn Wiggins
ran 10 yards for another score as
North Forest rolled on.
The Katy Tigers won for the
eight time in eight outings with
a spanking of Strait Jesuit 62-7.
Rodney Anderson rushed for 110
yards and two scores on only
sevem carries. Adam Taylor did
his thing with 16 carries for 115
yards and hit pay dirt twice as
well. However the Tigers can
pass as well with Kiley
Huddleston connecting on seven
of 14 for 137 yards and three
touchdowns as well. In Division
II Class 5A all roads to the state
goes through Katy, Texas once
again.
Westfield beat Klein Forest 31-6
to move closer to the 13-5A dis-
trict title. The Mustangs defense
held Forest to only two first
downs and 128 total yards and
forced them to punt six times.
The Jack Yates Lions got pass
the Booker T. Washington
Eagles 13-3 to win the 8th
Annual Fiesta Booker-Bryant
Memorial Classic. Joshua
Simmons scored twice on the
ground and passed for 101 yards
all in the first half, but it was
enough. Simmons left the game
just before half time with
strained ACL and the Lions are
hoping to have him back before
the playoffs.
Lamar shutout Madison 41-0 as
Darrell Colbert passed for 178
yards on 13 of 24 and three
touchdowns. The balanced
attacking Redskins also had 189
yards on the ground with Levy
Whiteings getting 34 yards and
one touchdown n nine carries
and Ronnie Wesley picking up
66 yards on 14 carries and scor-
ing from one yard out. The win
is the eight of the season against
no defeats and basically gives
them the district title as well in
20-5A this season.
Speaking of Mustangs the North
Shore Mustangs galloped to
their eight win of the season
with a 34-7 win over Beaumont
Westbrook. Micah Thomas led
the way with 91 yards rushing
and one touchdown. But Carlos
Perez booted field goals of 38
and 39 to add to their scoring
totals.
The Jones Falcons put an end to
Kashmere’s perfect district run
when the upset the Rams 42-29.
It marked the first time this year
the Rams fell in District 23-3A
action. Furr remained in the
hunt with a 27-6 win over
Sterling as both team at 3-2 in
district action. Yates and
Kashmere will basically play for
the district title this weekend.
The Wheatley Wildcats sneaked
back into the playoff picture
with a 27-17 win over the
Waltrip Rams. Milby kept their
small hopes alive as well with
an 8-2 win over Austin.
Cypress Falls ran past Cy-
Woods 35-10 and Dekaney beat
Klein 21-14 in overtime. It was
Spring over Klein Oak 48-41.
Cinco Ranch beat Seven Lakes
27-7 while Fort Bend Bush won
over Elkins 29-22. It was Clear
Creek over Clear Brook 41-28
and Memorial got the upper
hand on Katy Taylor 40-19.
Cypress Ranch won over Cy-
Fair 31-21 and Nimitz shutout
Eisenhower 27-0. Elsik contin-
ued to roll by shutting out
MacArthur 52-0. It was Lufkin
over College Park 40-7.

Memorial 42-10 while Manvel
whipped Sam Rayburn 49-3 in
other area action. La Porte Bull
Dogs snapped their way past
Channelview 56-14 as Fort Bend
Travis won over Clement 24-16.

The Jack Yates Lions and
Booker T. Washington Eagles
squared off in the 8th Annual
Fiesta Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic at Barnett Stadium. It
was a cool and brisk night for
football with a wind chill some-
where in the high 40s but never-
the-less the show must go on.
After a scoreless first period the
Lions got rolling at senior quar-
terback Joshua Simmons begin
hitting David Funchess and
Victor Gaines to get the Lions in
scoring position. Then Yates
went in from 22 yards out for
the game’s first score before
going in from one yard out to
make it clearly 13-0 and it
would appear it would be
enough. But during the first half
he also sprained his ACL and
spent the second half on the
sidelines on crutches. It just so
happened the Eagles could only
score when Alejandro Arambula
booted a 48 yard field goal.
Simmons had done enough to
walk away with the most valu-
able player award.
As always the case Mrs.,
Charlotte Bryant was there
dressed in a beautiful black out-
fit and joined by her sons Tim
and Byron Bryant. Elvis Paul
from the class of 1977 presented
Mrs. Bryant with this year’s
plaque. She was escorted on to
the field by the legendary Walter
Penrice a 1971 graduate of
Washington Senior High School
and is currently the President of
the Studewood Cobras Little
League Football Organization.
On the other side of the field
Mrs. Clairene Booker made her
way with his daughter Annette
and son Guy alongside her. She
was dressed is a gorgeous dark
red outfit. She was escorted on
to the field by Maurice Hobson
a member of the Jack Yates state
championship 1985 16-0 foot-
ball team. She was joined also
by Maurice McGowan the offen-
sive coordinator on that team
and the man who took over
when Booker retired in 1988.
Members of the 1992 state final-
ist Jack Yates football team took
part in the halftime ceremonies
on this chilly night for football
at Barnett Stadium.
