• In a large stockpot add your apples and fill with water-just enough to cover the apples.

• Add your sugar.

• Turn down heat and let simmer for two hours (covered).

sistency (a potato masher works well for this).

• Once cool pour into a strainer over a large bowl. When most of the juice has drained away, put the remainder of the pulp into a doubled up cheese cloth and squeeze over the bowl until no more juice comes out.

• (At this point, you can either restrain the juice to get out the little bits of pulp that remain with a cheesecloth draped inside the strainer to catch them.

• You can store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to a week or you can freeze it for later use if you like.

• Reheat in the microwave or on the stove and enjoy either plain or you can add caramel syrup or caramels, whipped topping with cinnamon or, like my neighbors did if you like it sweet, with marshmallows or marshmallow crème.

• In addition, you could make this a diabetic recipe by omitting the sugar and adding diabetic sweeteners to taste in place of the sugar or none at all.

Voters approve Texas Savings Promotion Act Austin, TX – On Tuesday, November 7, 2017, Texas voters approved Proposition 7, the Texas Savings Promotion Act (TSPA).

The constitutional amendment, authored by Representative Eric Johnson (D-Dallas), allows banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions to offer “prize-linked savings account” programs where individuals can win prizes, including cash, for making deposits into their own savings accounts.

The enacting legislation was passed by the 85th Texas Legislature and signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year. Representative

State Rep. Eric Johnson Johnson released the following statement in response to Proposition 7’s approval by the state’s voters: “I am thrilled that voters ap-

proved Proposition 7. I’ve been working for years on ways to increase the personal wealth of lower income Texans. The Texas Savings Promotion Act will help ensure every family in Texas has enough personal savings so that they will not need to turn to predatory lenders in times of need,” stated Representative Johnson.

“It’s now up to our financial institutions – banks and credit unions – to offer the types of prize-linked savings accounts authorized by the TSPA, and for our most financially insecure citizens to take advantage of these accounts,” Johnson added.

Johnson speaks on Blue Collar STEM Briefing WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Johnson released the following statement after co-hosting a briefing with Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), entitled Blue Collar STEM: The Future of the U.S. Workforce.

The briefing was organized to demonstrate a commitment by policymakers to support efforts to modernize our approach to workforce training and help steer young leaders into fields that will enable them to compete in a global economy.

This event was organized with her co-chair of the CBC Technology and Infrastructure Development Task Force, Congresswoman Val Demings: “The discussion surrounding the future our of workforce and the skills necessary to succeed in a 21st century economy is one that must continue,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “When we discuss opportunities in STEM (Science,

U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and the future of our workforce, the conversation should also be inclusive of those who have chosen to pursue a two-year degree or vocational training.

“Every person deserves the opportunity to participate in our economy.”

“This is the first in a series of events aimed at highlighting the importance and value of blue collar STEM fields and

what it means to include traditionally underrepresented segments of the population. It is my personal commitment to join my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus and others in Congress to ensure that every American has the tools they need to excel in these new fields.”

The following individuals participated in the panel: Dr. Victor McCrary, Vice President for Research and Economic Develop, Morgan State University and National Science Board Member; Dr. Steve McGee, President of The Learning Partnership; Pat Yongpradit, Chief Academic Officer at Code.org; and Jacqueline E. Rodriguez, Program Associate at Opportunity@Work.

The briefing was moderated

by Spencer Overton, President of The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

The MLK Seedling Farm and Its Keeper THE INTERVIEW By Arielle Johnson

As writers for the Elite News, we are discovering more about the Martin Luther King Center in South Dallas everyday. Within a matter of six months, we have been able to bring you at least six stories about several programs that operate their businesses within the Center and Town Hall meetings which have been held in the Senior Building, adjacent to the recreational center.

Therefore, discovering the MLK Center has a greenhouse which it uses to house its seedling farm, came as a huge surprise. In fact, we don’t know how we could have overlooked it. The only thing that makes us feel a little comfortable with this late discovery, is finding out they have only been there a few months.

The MLK Seedling Farm is the result of a collaboration between Miles of Freedom, which is a non-profit located at the MLK Center, Dr. Owen Lynch, an SMU Director of Community Research and Engagement and Texas A&M Agrilites.

Miles of Freedom has been involved with landscaping for some time, and it responsible for keeping the MLK lawn manicured, however, they were interested in getting involved

NOVEMBER 10, 2017

with gardening. Dr. Lynch, who has tons of experience when it comes to Dallas food systems, was looking for an opportunity to be instrumental in helping local farms aggregate their resources.

Community farming usually fails, but Owen went in with a plan he believes he can make work.

Talks centered around maximizing the utilization of underused land surrounding the MLK center began in April of this year and by June, the Greenhouse was erected.

Since the Greenhouse was built in June, it has welcomed young students from Madison High School, neighbors from the community and many more curious about the latest addition to the MLK landscape.

Recently, the farm has been able to give away ready to cook collard greens and peppers grown outside the greenhouse, to members of the community. Seedlings grown in the green-

ELITE NEWS

house have gone to two local urban farms and the Austin Street Shelter.

But there is so much more potential which has not been realized yet.

The seedling success story would not be a reality if it were not for the acumen of horticulturist Tyrone Day. He has over 20 years experience working with plants and flowers and mentioned to us, even with all of his knowledge about plants, he too experiences losses. Seeds need ideal conditions for high plant germination success rate, some of which includes using nutrient rich soil, planting seeds deep enough for new roots to anchor in the soil and making sure proper attention is given to those plants that may start to droop early in the growth process.

Mr. Day has a lot of hopes for the Seedling Farm and realizes it can be a source of income, but right now, he and his team are directing their focus towards restoring a sense of community and pride within the community and to educate.

“The farm is in a food desert. We are teaching people how to grow their own healthy food and the opportunity is open to everyone. If you live in an apartment complex with limited space for planting, you can use our space. If you have a plot of land you own and would like to start a garden, we will teach you how to care for your plants and transplant them when they are stable enough to be moved.”

In its very short life, the seedling farm has already proved it is a viable part of the community.

Mr. Day is a landscaper for Miles of Freedom, which is a non-profit program that helps formerly incarcerated men and women re-enter society by helping them gain the necessary skills

when needed, to find employment or use their own skills to employ themselves.

Prior to becoming a part of the Miles of Freedom program, Mr. Day spent 25 and ½ years in a prison for a crime he did not commit.

Two years ago he was released, due to a determination made through DNA testing which made it impossible for him to be one of three perpertrators in a crime involving the sexual assault of a woman.

While in prison, Mr. Day obtained a degree in Horticulture, and due to his ability to comprehend the principles of this science and apply them, he eventually became the head gardener at the prison where he was housed.

With the help of Dr. Owen Lynch of SMU, Texas A&M’s involvement, Miles of Freedom, Tyrone Day’s expertise as a master grower and the State Fair as a labor funding source, the growth potential for this program is tremendous.

The seedling farm is providing the community with access to healthy foods, while educating them about their growth. For as long as it exists, the community will no longer be subjected to buying fruits and vegetables from a grocery chain because it is the only grocery chain in the community, they will be able to make a choice.

More than likely, the majority will choose the food product with a much higher nutritional value and is a product of the urban farm.

At the moment, there are no set hours of operation for the Seedling Farm, however, if you are in the area and notice someone at work, feel free to stop by and strike up a conversation and find out what you can do to be a part of this revolutionary movement.

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson releases statement after hosting Reverend Michael Waters and family at U.S. Capitol WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson released the following statement after Reverend Michael Waters, founding pastor of Joy Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church from Dallas, TX, opened prayer on the House floor of the U.S. Capitol.

Reverend Waters was accompanied by his family, friends, and church members: “It was an honor to host Reverend Michael Waters and his family today at the U.S. Capitol,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “Rev. Waters is a true community servant and man of God that continues to help everyone. Earlier in the year he served at my annual prayer breakfast and has been a notable friend of the community. He continues to be a strong and respected leader with his powerful words and commitment to helping

others.”

“Additionally, I am proud of the efforts made by his wife, Mrs. Yulise Waters, in co-founding the Second Chance Community Improvement Program Court. Their program equips men ages 18-30 with skills to succeed in the world upon re-entry by providing mental health services, career development, and basic life skills training.

It was a reminder that we cannot give up on the men and women who are imprisoned and the ones who have a second chance at life.

“I look forward to working with him and his church, Joy Tabernacle A.M.E., in the near future by uplifting those in our communities with resources, education and awareness.”
