Gov. Jindal Orders Louisiana to Develop Ebola Plans
Political Attitudes and Political Efficacy Among Young People
By: Black Youth Project
BATON ROUGE, LA —Almost all -- 92 percent -- of teachers in East Baton Rouge Parish were deemed proficient or highly effective at their jobs, according to the latest data reported by the state on Wednesday. However, State Superintendent John White said that the data was highly subjective: Teachers’ ratings were based half on classroom evaluations, and half on whether their students met growth targets. And this year, while the state is still transitioning into implementing these standards, schools and districts were able to create their own student growth targets. White noted that, statewide, teachers’ evaluation scores went up more than the students’ scores -- indicating the teacher evaluations are somewhat inflated. “Our own evaluations of ourselves as adults grew faster than did the ratings of students,” White said on a media conference call. “When we evaluate ourselves at a level that is more generous than we are evaluating our students, we are not doing our kids any favors.” Baton Rouge’s results, which include both East Baton Rouge and Recovery School District schools, are comparable to the statewide average, though Baton Rouge gave more of its teachers the highest rating, “highly effective.” About 49 percent of Baton Rouge teachers were rated “highly effective,” compared to 43 percent statewide. Another 43 percent of Baton Rouge teachers were rated at the second-highest level, “effective: proficient,” compared to 49 percent statewide. Only 6 percent of Baton Rouge teachers were rated “effective: emerging,” and 2 percent were deemed “ineffective.” Similarly, 94 percent of Baton Rouge principals were rated highly effective or proficient. State officials did highlight several districts and schools where
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., speaks alongside Rob Astorino, New York republican gubernatorial candidate, during a news conference to discuss New York Gov. Andrew Coumo’s response to questions about the states preparations against the Ebola virus at Grand Central Station, Thursday, Oct. 16, 2014, in New York. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered state officials Monday to come up with rules governing how some state residents can travel to Ebola-stricken countries, stepping in to fill what he said was a gap left by President Obama’s failure to act. Mr. Jindal, a Republican who presidential aspirations in 2016, ordered his departments
and agencies to come up with plans to require state workers and academics and students at state colleges to have to disclose their travels to Ebola-affected countries. He also directed agencies to put a system in place to monitor travelers for up to three weeks after a traveler goes through one of the countries.
“The federal government, to date, has failed to implement protections at the national level to prevent the entry of the Ebola Virus Disease into the United States of America,” Mr. Jindal wrote in the executive order. A number of lawmakers, both in the states and on Capi-
Sen. Mary Landrieu’s campaign sees two avenues in stopping Congressman Bill Cassidy’s Republican momentum: new registration figures and voter turnout. It would be an election miracle to avoid a runoff, most consultants and pundits agree, but the strategy is moving forward in the hopes of striking gold. While overall Democratic registration, nearly 16,000 voters, and Republican registration, by about 1,100 voters, has gone down from January to October, the racial registration numbers show something different and it may favor Landrieu, at least on paper.

Early Voting Through October 28, 2014
Baton Rouge, Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler is encouraging all Louisianians eligible to vote in the Tuesday, Nov. 4th Congressional Primary Election to consider voting early. Early voting begins on Tuesday, Oct. 21st and continues through Tuesday, Oct. 28th from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, excluding Sunday, Oct. 26th. “This election has garnered a lot of interest throughout the state and early voting is a great way to conveniently cast your ballot,” said Secretary of State Tom Schedler. “The ballot is extremely long so voters should do their homework, especially reading the 14 constitutional amendments, before going to early vote. A great resource for doing that is our GeauxVote Mobile app. By

HOPEFEST 2014: FREE FAMILY FUN TO COMMUNITY
The media often report that young people are disengaged from midterm elections. Understanding how young people feel about President Obama and the major political parties, as well as their beliefs about how well they can effect political change, can shed light on the role they will play in this election cycle. In this report, we explore these questions using data from a nationally representative sample of 1,527 adults under the age of 30. Our main findings are as follows: Approval of President Obama has fallen considerably since 2012 across young people of
all racial and ethnic groups, with 67.2 percent of Black youth, 52.8 percent of Latino youth and 35.8 of white youth currently approving of Obama’s job performance. Presidential approval has fallen most dramatically among young people of color, decreasing 14.5 percentage points among Black youth and 15.7 percentage points among Latino youth. Compared with Black (38.6 percent) and white (38.1 percent) youth, Latino youth are most likely to agree that it does not matter which party wins in the 2014 Congressional elections (49.0 percent), while Black youth are most likely to believe that their

fields Elementary School, Capitol Elementary School, Crestworth Elementary School, LaSalle Elementary School and the charter schools THRIVE and J.K. Haynes. In the Baton Rouge region, Ascension Parish and East Feliciana Parish were called out for having similar high standards for
their principals. Ascension Parish was the only other district in the region that had several schools highlighted for high standards: Dutchtown Middle School, East Ascension High School, Lakeside Primary School and St. Amant Middle School were all featured by the state.
cratic operatives contend a major last-minute registration push was made ahead of Monday’s cutoff date, particularly among black women. The Secretary of State’s Office, however, has a 10-day review period to verify new voters and it’ll be another week until any figures are released. Republican models at this point are assuming the black vote will not get above 25 percent, most all of which would go to Landrieu and may not be enough to win in
the primary. Even if she does manage to increase the turnout in black communities, Landrieu still needs to get closer to obtaining 30 percent of the white vote, a category in which she has been stuck in the low 20s in recent polls. “Those are the magic numbers and I don’t think they’ll be able to reach them,” said GOP consultant Roy Fletcher. The one caveat Democrats are quick to add, an explanation for why they think a primary victory is possible, is the possibility that black voters are being under-sampled in polls. “That does happen,” Fletcher said. “But I’m not sure it means that this race is as close as some like to believe.” Dr. Silas Lee, a Democratic pollster and public policy professor at Xavier, said, “It’s a reality and definitely a consideration for the campaigns.” Whether it’s from having only a cell phone or no line at all, Bernie Pinsonat, a partner with Southern Media and Opinion Research, said most professional pollsters already take that into account. “You have to bake that in,” he said, adding there have been a few national polls that actually went in the other direction and over-sampled black voters.

BREC Receives Fifth National Accreditation BATON ROUGE, LA - The Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge (BREC) was honored last night for again earning re-accreditation by the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). This distinguished accomplishment was recognized at the “Best of the Best” Awards Ceremony held in Charlotte, North Carolina at the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) 2014 Congress and Exposition. In February of 1994, BREC was one of the first four agencies in the country to receive national accreditation from CAPRA. Currently, there are approximately 10,000 park and recreation agencies in the country and BREC is one of only 118 of them to hold national accreditation. The process of re-accreditation occurs every five years and is an extensive effort to show that the agency has adopted and implemented best practices in all phases of the organization. After completing the application process, the agency developed a detailed self-assessment report and then hosted a team of experienced park and recreation professionals who reviewed the materials, interviewed staff and community stakeholders and toured BREC facilities before making a recommendation for approval. CAPRA conducted a final review of the application, evidence of compliance and report from the visiting team before formally announcing the recognition at last night’s award ceremony. “This honor is the result of a
lot of hard work by BREC staff to show that we are continually working with the community to create new and better facilities, improve our services and fulfill our mission to make East Baton Rouge Parish a healthier, more vibrant place to live,” said BREC Superintendent Carolyn McKnight. “We are already looking at the requirements we’ll need to meet five years from now and will make sure we do what we need to show the residents of East Baton Rouge Parish that we are serious about taking this park system to the next level.” Accreditation standards are established by the national Commission and represent all areas of operation for parks and recreation departments. In 2014, national accreditation requires park and recreation agencies to respond to 144 standards representing elements of effective and efficient operations. To become accredited, agencies must fully meet 36 standards deemed fundamental to a quality agency and at least 92 of the remaining standards. BREC met all 144 standards. The Commission is comprised of representatives from the National Recreation and Park Association, the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration, the National Association of County Park and Recreation Officials, the International City/ County Managers Association, American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation, the Armed Forces Recreation Society, and the Council of State Executive Directors.
Ebola Plan from page 1 tol Hill, have urged Mr. Obama to stop issuing visas to citizens from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the three countries seeing the worst of the outbreak. Others have called for a full-blown travel ban. The Ebola outbreak in the U.S. stemmed from a Liberian man who traveled to the U.S. on an airplane before he showed
symptoms, and therefore likely before he was contagious. He developed symptoms while in Dallas and was hospitalized, where two of the staff that cared for him have also tested positive for the disease. The Liberian man died, while the two health workers have been transferred to hospitals better able to provide care.

RELIGION
Breaking of Soul Ties Saves Marital Relationships October Jubilee By Donald Lee Genesis 2:16,17 says, And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Translated: Whatever God says stay away from, by all means, stay away from it. If the Lord tells you that there will be a tearing away of your heart if you get involved with a particular person, yet you decide to be in a relationship with that person anyway, you must remember that the Lord didn’t say what He said just to hear Himself talking. Getting back to scripture: Gen-
LOG ON AND GET YOUR PRAISE ON!
esis 3:4,5 adds, And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Translated: The devil would have you to think that God is just trying to keep you from having fun and enjoying life. Do what you wanna do. Yoke yourself up with whomever you desire. Nothing will happen to you, the devil wants you to believe. Dilemma we’re often faced with: Do we obey God and stay away from that boy or that girl, or that man or that woman, and miss out on the immediate fun, pleasure, gratification of being with that person? Or do we hearken unto the voice of the devil (and forfeit the peace and long-term blessings that come with trusting God) by getting that girlfriend, that boyfriend, that husband, that wife — the forbidden fruit? Sadly, many of us — at some point in our lives — have chosen to do what the enemy of our souls (the devil) has suggested to us rather
than be obedient to the lover of our souls (God). And it’s not necessarily that the people in our past — the ones we had relationships with — weren’t good people. It is, though, that God, in His infinite wisdom, knows why He says, “No, not that person” or “No, not at this moment.” And just as sure as the Bible is the infallible Word of the True and Living God, we generally find out — the hard way — why God says “No.” But by that time, we’d already become intimate with that person whether that intimacy — or strong bond — was sexually, emotionally or any other form of intimacy. In other words, by the time it hits us that we should’ve listened to God, and told the devil to “Go to hell!” we’d already gotten caught up in soul ties. “Soul ties are real and yes they do have a powerful effect on relationships — especially marriages,” says the Rev. Bre Eaton, an intercessor and associate pastor at God’s Guiding Light Christian Center in southeast Houston. “The past ‘connection’ with other people in your life penetrates to the very depths of your heart and soul.” Soul ties occur when two people form a strong, emotional bond, particularly after having joined themselves one to another sexually. This “bond” also is the intertwining of those persons’ spirits. And after the relationship has run its course, each person takes a piece of the other person with him (or her). When they enter into new relationships, they take part of the previous person with them. See SOUL TIES, on page 5

‘Rock N Rowe’ Concerts Return for Fall Lineup at Perkins Rowe BATON ROUGE, LA. – The Rock N Rowe concert series at Perkins Rowe returns by popular demand this fall, offering free performances on Thursday nights from 6-9 p.m. The concerts feature local artists performing in a family-friendly setting at Town Square Park in the Perkins Rowe community. “We launched the series several years ago, and this past spring and summer, we had a great response from local music fans and our merchants, as well as the performers,” says Perkins Rowe General Manager Bill Pietri. “With the weather turning cooler, the shows have the feel of a fall festival. We’re look-
ing forward to another great turnout.” The fall series kicks off on Thursday, Oct. 9 with the band Rewind. Featuring an exciting horn section, Rewind plays Motown, funk and dance party hits. The fall Rock N Rowe series runs through Nov. 20 and is sponsored by California Pizza Kitchen, Kona Grill and Lava Cantina. Perkins Rowe is located in Baton Rouge at Perkins Road and Bluebonnet Boulevard. For additional information, please call Susan Polowczuk, Zehnder Communications, (225) 448-0760, susanp@z-comm. com.
Soul Ties from page 4 The parts of the other person they take with them include the other person’s personality or that person’s temperament. And whatever demons (i.e. spirits of depression, phobias, etc.) tormented one person has now latched on to the person he (or she) was intimate with. (Oh, by the way: A condom can’t protect you from a Sexually Transmitted Demon.) But that ain’t all. Remember that the previous person had a previous person that he (or she) was intimate with, whose spirits they cleaved or joined themselves to. So, now, you’ve got one person whose carrying the spirits of two, three, four, five, six other people. Seriously. And this is why relationships that weren’t endorsed by God turn people into nervous wrecks. “God wants to break the soul ties that produce death in the marriage relationship,” Pastor Bre says. “When there are soul
ties from the past, you can’t give 100 percent of yourself to your spouse because you don’t have 100% to give. “This problem continues in the marriage until the soul ties are broken,” Pastor Bre says. “I tell the ladies this all the time: ‘Breaking the soul ties from your old relationships can actually save your present or future marriage. “ ‘Listen, this puts you in the position to love your for-real soulmate with all of your heart,” Pastor Bre says. “Married couples must nurture and protect the marriage at all cost. I pray that God continues to break the soul ties in married couples so that they are able to love one another without any constraints or deterrence.” Pastor Donald Lee can be reached for comment at (225) 773-2248 or pastordonjlee@ yahoo.com.

ever, we regret that neither a single house republican nor any other Senator joined them to push for coverage for all children. the CDF Action Council strongly supports long overdue health coverage for everyone in America as soon as possible—because children cannot wait. As SChiP comes up again for reauthorization in early 2009, we hope every Member of Congress will insist on covering every child and pregnant mother now by enacting and adequately funding the provisions of the All healthy Children Act. Specious claims that we could not find the money—$70 billion over five years—to cover all children is belied by that amount spent in eleven months for tax cuts for the top one percent of richest Americans and in seven months for the iraq War.

Please thank your Members of Congress with scores of 80 percent or above and let those with scores of 60 percent or below know you are dissatisfied with their performance. And please convey that same message to each presidential candidate. We must demand that our leaders commit to children as a condition of our vote.

Lions Rally For 24-23 Win Over Saints DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions have won back-to-back games without Calvin Johnson, perhaps the most encouraging sign yet that coach Jim Caldwell is making significant progress in his first season at the helm. The most recent victory wasn’t easy. The Lions needed a spectacular catch-and-run by Golden Tate and an interception from Glover Quin to overtake the New Orleans Saints 24-23 on Sunday. ‘’I think you learn a little bit about your team as you go, I really do,’’ said Caldwell, who replaced the fired Jim Schwartz in the offseason as Detroit’s coach. ‘’This is the first one that we’ve had like this one, you know, to have to really come from behind and get it done with some big plays. ‘’You had a sense of it and you can see, when you’re dealing with men that have character and have talent, you’ll get performances like that.’’ The Lions (5-2) trailed 23-10 before Matthew Stafford threw two scoring passes in the final 3:38 - with Quin’s interception coming between them. Tate’s 73-yard touchdown catch started the rally. The Saints (2-4) have lost seven consecutive regular-season road games. They appeared to have this one in their grasp before making enough mistakes down the stretch to squander the lead. ‘’We did so many good things today, so many good things, defensively, offensively,’’ New Orleans quarterback Drew
Brees said. ‘’We have to finish, especially today. It’s not like this thing was back and forth. We had a 13-point lead with however much time was left.’’ Here are a few things we learned from Detroit’s dramatic victory: FILLING IN: The Lions acquired Tate to be a productive No. 2 receiver, but with Johnson nursing an ankle injury, Detroit has needed even more from him. On Sunday, Tate caught 10 passes for 154 yards, both career highs. With the situation looking just about hopeless for Detroit, Tate caught Stafford’s pass around his own 35, turned up the field and outran two New Orleans defenders who looked as if they had good angles to make the tackle. That touchdown made it 23-17. ‘’We strongly believe in next man up, so guys just have to step up. Everyone made this team for a reason, so when our number is called, we have to show up and make plays that we’re supposed to make,’’ Tate said. ‘’We don’t have to do anything spectacular like Calvin. We just have to play fundamentally sound ball, and I think we were prepared.’’ FLAGGED: The Saints nearly stopped Detroit before the winning touchdown when Stafford’s pass on fourth down fell incomplete, but Rafael Bush was called for pass interference, giving the Lions a new set of downs. Stafford eventually found Corey Fuller for a 5-yard touchdown and the win.

Tigers Crushed the Golden Lions of UAPB In front of an audience of 10,000, the Grambling State University Tigers (5-3, 5-0) crushed the University of Arkansas PineBluff (UAPB) Golden Lions (1-5, 0-4) 63-39 Saturday afternoon, taking down another opponent in the Southwest Athletic Conference (SWAC) for the fifth game in the row. It was the first win over UAPB for the Tigers since 2011. With another conference win underneath his belt, head coach Broderick Fobbs still sees areas of improvement for the Tigers. “We have to play with juice, we have to play with energy,” said Fobbs after the game. “Maybe my standards are higher.” In the first quarter it was evident that the Golden Lions quarterback Benjamin Anderson posed as the Tigers’ biggest threat. Anderson, who threw for 467 yards and two touchdowns, made sure there was a plan B if there were no open receivers. When this happened, Anderson would scramble away and run the ball down the field. He finished the game as a rushing leader with 139 yards. “We knew if we could contain him (Anderson), we knew that we could win the game,” said Tyree Hollins. After UAPB’s Tyler Strickland kicked a 31yard field goal, Johnathan Williams answered back with a 73-yard pass to No. 2
Verlon Hunter for a Tiger touchdown. Williams, who had an impressive game, threw for 377 yards and five touchdowns (three passing and two rushing). In the second quarter, the Tigers put up 21 points on the scoreboard while the Golden Lions put up 15. Hunter scored another touchdown off of a 38yard pass from Williams and Tigers defender Randolph Giovanni recovered a fumble for a touchdown as well. The highlight of the quarter was following a touchdown from No. 80 Chester Rogers. Johnathan Wallace
faked the extra point and ran the ball for a successful two-point conversion. In the second half of the game, the Tigers continued the scoring streak and put up an additional 35 points, 28 in the third quarter and 7 in the fourth. “We have a bunch of players that are hungry who do not want to go back to what we have been through from last year,” said Hollins after the game. Hollins finished the game with six tackles and two interceptions for 19-yards gain. The Tigers’ top defensive leader was Aaron Breed, Jr. The Kirbyville native had 11 tackles, 1 sack and
1.5 tackles for loss. Other leaders were No. 37 LeAndre Vallot and No. 33 Jameel Jackson. Both had six tackles. UAPB defensive leaders were No. 48 Jared Turner and No. 57 LaFarrell Franklin. Turner had six tackles and broke up one pass while Franklin had five tackles. Both defenders had one tackle for loss of yards. The Tigers’ next match up will be against Texas Southern University Tigers (5-1) in Houston Nov. 1. This will be a big rival game for the Grambling Tigers. Kickoff is set at 5:30 p.m. at the BBVA Compass Stadium.
