Mayor Lowe Offers Suggestion To Naysayers According to the street committee with the reopening of Whitewater Avenue in Phenix City citizens now have access to the Northern end of the Phenix City riverfront, which features the Courtyard Marriott, Troy University Phenix City campus, and a new parking deck. Despite the city’s progress there are still those that are resisting change and refusing believe Phenix City is moving forward. For those people Mayor Eddie Lowe offers the following suggestion. “For people who don’t want to get on board, and don’t want to see these changes take place, maybe this isn’t the place for them,” Lowe said. The street committee wonders can we expect “White Flight”? The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance Speaks Out
First, I’d like to congratulate Superintendent David Lewis, the Board of Education, principals, teachers, and staff for the tedious work that they have put in to make these gains. The incremental gains that we are seeing should be acknowledged and is very encouraging. Despite, the various changes in curriculum and testing our dedicated educators are providing effective teaching and learning as demonstrated by the improvement in student achievement. The sources cited are valid and reliable. As the graduation rate continues to improve, we can expect a correlation with a civilized society, lower crime rate and a more balanced economic status in the community. The report reflects a snapshot concerning the 120 day plan outlined by the Superintendent. It is an update of the progress based on that plan, which references the last 3 years. There’s always room for improvement and I would like to see the entire community work more cohesively with the educators, students, administration, and Board to make continuous progress. When we work together, it benefits the entire community. I’m grateful for Partners in Education and for parents who are actively engaged in their child’s education. I’m a firm believer that
The Street Committee
parental involvement is the single and most determining factor in whether or not our children fail or succeed. The IMA is dedicated to helping resolve
issues and to removing barriers that may prevent parents from being fully committed to their child’s education. We have formed a coalition to address these issues. The focus should always be the students. Unfortunately, too often it appears that individuals get bogged down with who is right or wrong rather than being concerned about what is right or wrong. What our community needs is a shared vison for the students, faculty, and staff for the district. This is what the educators want and this is what our students deserve. We salute MCSD for the gains indicated in the report. Respectfully, Ralph W. Huling, D.Th. President, IMA (See report on pages 11-16)
Kia Chambers To Serve On Georgia School Board Association According to the street committee Atlarge Muscogee County School Board member Kia Chambers was elected to serve as Congressional District 3’s representative on the Georgia School Board Association. Chambers will serve as one of fourteen board member representatives from around the state. Board members are empowered to manage the affairs and transact the business of the Association and employ the executive director. The mission of the Georgia School Boards Association is to ensure excellence in the governance of local school systems by providing leadership, advocacy and services, and by representing the collective resolve of Georgia’s elected boards of education.

A VIEW FROM A PEW
THURSDAY DECEMBER 8, 2016

This Letter Is For My Dear Black Customers:
After our last conversation about Black business owners I have just one more thing to say… Why is it, when it comes to advertising your business with my Black-owned radio station, or my Black-owned newspaper, it’s always; “your prices are too high or “Well if I do go with you can you “hook me up” with some extra spots or an additional ad? All I have is $150.” However, after all that whining and crying you will leave my office and immediately go down the street and miraculously come up with $1000 to advertise on the “Other” radio station, or in the “Other” newspaper because they somehow convince you that they know more about your “target market” and how to increase traffic to your place of business than me, the Black business professional with over thirty years of experience you just left. Why is it you have no problem paying the “Other“ man whatever he asks with no question, but as the “Brother man” I have to justify my prices and my knowledge?
Now that I have put that piece of old business behind me, let me talk to my dear Black customers. First things, first. What is it about me, the Black business owner that makes you feel you can ask me for a “hook up”? I’m about tired of you thinking just because we share the same pigmentation I am supposed to owe you something? I don’t owe you anything but friendly, courteous service with a quality product at a fair price.
May I make a suggestion? Please stop hanging out in front of my place of business smoking, drinking, cussing and gambling. Your presence is scaring away my paying customers. If you just want to hang out then hang out down the street or better yet take your “boys” and hang out at your house. Although
it is quite entertaining watching you guys scatter like roaches when the lights come on, when the police pull up I have better things to do with my time.
Now I love the kids, Lord knows I do, but if you are going to bring them in my business, please exercise some control over them. There you are sitting in my chair begging me to hurry up because your scalp feels like it’s on fire from the perm I put in your hair. But I can’t take care of you because I’m trying to stop your little “demon seed” from spraying my other customers with the hose from the shampoo bowl.
If you patronize my Black-owned restaurant, don’t ask me to throw in my peach cobbler, or an extra piece of fish for free. Just because my restaurant is called “Grandma’s Café,” doesn’t mean I am your Grandma. If you want some free peach cobbler or fish you need to go home and ask your own “Big Mama” to fix you some. In other words pay the price on the menu and please tip my waitresses the minimum 15%. It’s a shame when there are 6 of you at the table and you have the audacity to leave four quarters as a tip.
While it’s on my mind, why is it you would rather pay $300 to $500 for a name brand suit at Dillard’s, J.C. Penny or Macy’s rather than pay $150 to $200 for the same name brand suit from my Black-owned clothing store? Explain that to me “like I’m a four year-old.” And why, if you do decide to purchase the suit from me, do you still insist that I give you a “hook up,” a “discount” a “come on, help a brother out?” I tell you what, why don’t you try this; go to Macy’s and ask them for a “hook up,” a “discount,” a “come on, help a brotha’ out”. I am sure they’ll have no problem accommodating you by having
security “help a brotha’” out the door. And oh yeah where oh where did this idea of giving me a post dated check come from? Please tell me the last time you asked the cashier or manager at any store other than a Black owned one if they would accept a post dated check? Take your time; think about it I’ll wait!!! And to my beautiful Black sisters, with all of the money you spend on various weaves, extensions and hair care products why do you bypass my blackowned beauty and barber supply store on your way to the Korean-owned store. Don’t you know that I have the same Yaky, Brazilian, Malaysian and Virgin hair care products as they do? More importantly I not only have my business in your community but I live and attend church here as well. What I’m trying to say is I give back to my community, do they?
I’m sure you already know this but just in case you don’t, there are nine, count them if you will, “Black-owned” Funeral homes in the area, so obviously there is plenty “slow singing and flower bringing” going on in the tri-city. As the only Black-owned floral shop in our area can someone kindly explain to me why you insist on passing by my business on your way to Teri’s, Albright’s, Lewis Jones or Publix to purchase your “Valentines, Graduation or “Just Because” bouquet? But you want to come to me and ask to “borrow” a “Spray” to lay on your “Mama’s” casket, talking about; “We only need it for a couple of hours, I’ll bring it right back after the service.”
Have you ever wondered where we get our supplies? When are you going to realize that just because it’s “White” doesn’t automatically mean it’s “right”. Tell me when did the “Other Man’s” ice become colder than
the “Black Man’s” ice? Here’s a revelation. As a clothing storeowner I get my suits from the same wholesaler as the white - owned retailers. As a beauty and barber supply storeowner I buy my products from the same wholesaler as the Korean stores. As a florist I get my flowers from the same wholesaler every other white florist or grocery store in town gets theirs. As a radio station or newspaper owner I have the same amount of airtime, ad space and circulation as the white owned stations and newspaper. You say our prices are too high? Well as the majority demographic in Muscogee County that means over 100,000 of us are African American and of 15,425 businesses in our county 5769 are black-owned. If 1/3 of you would patronize my restaurant like you do Red Lobster or Cheddars on a Sunday; if another 1/3 of you would purchase your “Easter and Father’s Day suits” from me like you do from Dillard and Macy’s on those holidays; and if 1/3 of you would purchase your flowers from me like you do from Lewis Jones, Publix, Teri’s or Albright’s and finally if all 5769 businesses bought advertising on my radio station and placed ads in my newspaper like you do on Clear Channel and the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer then I could afford to not only lower my prices, but hire more people who look like me and you. If you supported “us” like you do “them” then we would be able to lower our own unemployment rate right here in Columbus, Georgia.
Contrary to what you believe most us as Black business owners aren’t in business to become millionaires. We do it for the satisfaction we get from working for ourselves. We do it because we care about our community. We do it not because we want to buy an island in
the Bahamas, a fleet of Maserati’s or a Rolls Royce. Just like you, we have house payments, insurance, childcare, cheerleading, dance and gymnastics lessons, and car repairs and sports equipment fees so our children can play little league baseball and Peewee football. Add to that the added expense of running a business. We do it all in hopes of making a decent living. All we ask in return is that we do it with your support and without being hassled for a “hook-up”. Finally, I understand there have been times you may have been less than happy with the service you have received from us and for that I want to apologize and I ask, with all sincerity, you give us another chance. Just like you raise hell with the White and Korean restaurants and store owners but continue to patronize them, give us the same respect, consideration and opportunity to right our wrongs instead of writing us off to your family, friends, church members and anyone else you can share your “bad” experience with every time you get a chance to do so.
We will never “get ahead” as a people until we get it “in our heads” that we need to stop asking for a “hook up” and start “hooking up” our Black businesses with our financial support. When we can do this we all prosper. Remember: “A rising tide raises all boats”.
P.S. Some of you who read this won’t have a problem with it, others, on the other hand might be highly offended. Those of you who find yourself in the latter category are exactly who this letter is intended for because only a “hit dog will holler”.

The Sconiers Family Legacy Continues...
December 8, 2016
Alabama, our founder started his journey with $25 and a trunk. His steps were ordered to Columbus, GA, where he began his legacy. J ohn L. Sconiers, I was an innovator, he had a vision and with boldness, he created an enterprise. In 1917 he found the bank that was located in the three-story building at the corner of 9th Street and Fifth Avenue. The bank was named Laborer’s Savings and Loan Company. It was the first black bank in Columbus. It offered regular banking service to include savings accounts, checking accounts, vacation and Christmas clubs. Unfortunately, the great depression of the 1930’s brought an end to the banking business. But the building also housed professional offices such as Clarence Baskin’s Dentistry, Rev. Walters’ Tax & Accounting Services, Ruby Hardy’s Beauty Salon & the famous Top Hat Café. Then there was the Sconiers Auditorium, in which dances were held.
In 1916, while also working in the banking industry, Mr. Sconiers established Sconiers Funeral Home. Even at that time, Sconiers Funeral Home was the most modern and equipped funeral establishment in the south. Sconiers Funeral Home is the oldest African American business in Columbus. Just for the record, records at the Columbus Health Department show where Mr. Sconiers was indeed an undertaker in charge of many of this counties deceased, in 1916. Mr. Sconiers was married to Susie Marion Sconiers. Mrs. Sconiers was owner operator after her husbands demise. It was said that she also ran the business around 1923, while Mr. Sconiers was away at Worsham Training School of Anatomy Sanitary Science and Embalming in Chicago, IL. Mrs. Sconiers was an avid bridge player and a member of First African Baptist Church.

After Mrs. Sconiers’ demise, her son John L. Sconiers, II became the owner of Sconiers Funeral Home. Mr. Sconiers, II also had the same drive that his father had, creating Sconiers Enterprises where he tried his hand in Auto Sales. He also ran an appliance store, selling and repairing TV’s and other electronics. And he began Sconiers Florist, which is still owned & operated today by his wife, Mrs. Maurice

Marion Sconiers. In the 1970’s Mr. Sconiers and his sister, Isabella Chester, started an insurance campaign that lasted several years, going door to door in an effort to meet new families, making sure his clients were prepared when the time came. He
even engaged his children and others to help him make door to door collections. Soon his son John, his daughter Susie and niece, Katrina all became insurance agents for United Family Life Insurance Company. Mr. Sconiers was a kind, loving man who
never met a stranger.
After his demise, his sister, Isabella Sconiers Chester became and remains the owner of Sconiers Funeral Home. Maintaining the same moral values of her father, mother and brother, she

EXTRAORDINARY INTENTIONS By Jonathan “Bam” Rivers
Cherish the Process, Not The Prize
We live in a microwave society! There are so many people that want success, fame and recognition without first putting in the work. The funny thing about a microwave is that it will heat your food on the outside, but it may leave the core of your meal ice cold! Once you begin to skip the small steps in life, ignore the opportunities that may not pay you money but will give you the experience and exposure, you are headed towards an ice cold meal. One of my mentors Dr. Nathaniel Dunlap, the creator of PRF Ministry once told me to never despise small beginnings.
EMPOWER - INSPIRE - INFORM
I have been the co-host of Football Nightly Down South on the CW-GA Bama for over three years and have not gotten paid any money. Some of you may think it's crazy, but I think it's crazy not to move on my dreams and disregard the gifts God has blessed me with. If you chase the dream and your purpose instead of chasing money, money will never be an issue. The process of learning how to serve, understanding how to market yourself, becoming enlightened in an area to which you were once ignorant will increase your acumen and create more opportunities in life. Coaches like Nick Saban, Bill Belichick and coach Krzyzewski are all sucessful because they focus on the steps to becoming successful, rather than simply being successful. Luke 12:34 says "For where you treasure is, your heart will be also." Treasure the process of getting better and let your heart lead you to serving others and changing lives for the better.

Democrats Could Lose Even More In 2018 By Julianne Malveaux (NNPA Newswire Columnist)
The apprehension that I felt upon Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election has only increased as he has announced the appointments of his chief of staff, strategist, and cabinet members. As of this writing, he has mainly announced the selection of older White men, including the racist, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, to lead the Justice Department. The senator’s use of highly inflammatory racial rhetoric (including describing the NAACP as an “unAmerican” organization, and expressing support for the KKK) prevented his confirmation to the U.S. District Court in 1986. Now, he will be charged with law enforcement in our nation. Equally troubling has been the selec
tion of Stephen Bannon, his campaign chairman, as chief White House strategist and senior counselor. Bannon is the Executive Chairman of Breitbart News, a news website that has been the home of the alt-right, the source of lies, hate, nastiness and racist rhetoric. President Barack Obama had to walk away from Minister Jeremiah Wright because one of his sermons was considered racist by some Whites. Trump openly embraces racists and is applauded for it.
The position that Bannon will hold does not require Senate confirmation, while the position that Sessions will be nominated for does. With 54 Republicans in the Senate, Sessions is almost certain to be nominated. Hopefully Democrats have retained enough of a backbone to raise questions about Sessions’ racism. Senate newcomers Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) may be among the first to raise the questions. Still, Republicans will have the votes to con-

T
HEY T
HI JANEE’ I've been dating "Josh" for 8 months and I recently found out he was married or should I say is married. When I asked him about it he didn't deny it but gave me the age old excuse "he's still with her because of their kids". He says once the holidays are over and his son's birthday in February he's going to file for divorce. I don't know if I should believe him but I really care about him and often dream about a future together he's the perfect man besides firm anyone they want to confirm. Welcome to the age of Trump. Will Republicans get more of an edge in the Senate when we go to the polls in 2018? Thirty-three Senate seats will be up for grabs then. Republicans hold eight of them. Independents Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Angus King (IMaine), who caucus and vote with Democrats are both likely to be candidates for re-election. A whopping 23 seats currently held by Democrats could be flipped. If some of the states that went Republican in this year’s election can be tilted, Republicans can widen their margin in the Senate.
The Trump campaign (and its affiliated super PACs) have as much as $60 million to spend, and can use it to build ground operations in states where Democrats closely lost this year. (Hillary and her affiliated super PACs may have as much as $70 million to spend). Democrats lost Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona by less than five percent. Incumbent Democrats Tammy Baldwin

You said it yourself he gave you the age old excuse "THE KIDS"!! Oh and the holidays and his son's birthday are just more excuses to string you along until he can think of something else. If a man really wants to divorce his wife there will be no excuse he will file them papers trust and believe. Move on and move on now, you've already wasted eight months with this man, 8 months too long. That time could have been spent with someone else who truly RESPECTS and cares for you. It's okay though chalk it up as a lesson learned and understand the right "single" man is out there waiting on you

(D-Wisc.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Joe Manchin (DW.Va.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) are all in states that Republicans won in 2016. While many of them are popular, and incumbency is a challenging thing to overcome, we’ve just seen that the right kind of Republican candidate can prevail.
These candidates, and the Democratic Party, can’t afford to take incumbency or popularity for granted. They can’t afford to savor a polling lead and conclude that they don’t have to fight for every vote. If these folks want to go back to Washington, they’ll learn from the Hillary Clinton loss and work indefatigably, starting now, to keep their seats. They’ll make lots of visits back home, host town hall meetings, and make sure their voters understand what their contributions have been and what challenges they face.

A CANDID CONVERSATION WITH VALERIE FULLER...MCSD ARTS ACADEMY
Page 7
be located, behind the Public Library correct? Fuller: Yes it is being constructed at 1700 Midtown Drive, behind the Columbus Public Library and the Columbus Aquatic Center off Macon Road and next to Rigdon Road Elementary School. Construction is scheduled to be completed by June of 2017 so the academy should open on time when the new school year starts in August.
The application period to attend the Muscogee County School District’s yetto-be-named arts academy for middle and high school students began Dec. 2 and will end Feb. 3. We recently sat with Valerie Fuller, Director of Communications with the Muscogee County School District with our questions regarding the new school.
The Courier: Who is eligible to attend the academy? Fuller: MCSD students who will be in grades 6-10 are eligible to apply for the 2017-18 school year. The 11th and 12th grades will be added the following years.
The Courier: When is the application period, and where are applications available? Fuller: The application period started on the 2nd of this month. Applications are available on the district’s website, www.muscogee.k12.ga.us and may be submitted through that online link. Printed copies may be obtained at the information desk in the Muscogee County Public Education Center, 2960 Macon Road, Columbus, Ga. 31906. They should be mailed to that address or left at the information desk and written to the attention of the MCSD Arts and Humanities Department.
The Courier: How many students will be enrolled, and how will their selection be determined? Fuller: The arts academy is designed to educate approximately 500 students
(275-300 in middle school and about 200 in high school). Admission for middle school students will be open enrollment as they apply or based on a lottery system, depending on the number of students who show an interest. Admission for high school students will require an audition or portfolio assessment, depending on the discipline in which the student wants to focus. All prospective students will be interviewed and must have two letters of recommendation. They and one of their parents or guardians also must sign a contract. The Courier: To date how much interest has there been in attending the arts academy? Fuller: During the two information sessions superintendent David Lewis conducted this month, first at Northside High School then at Carver High School, MCSD officials collected 362 cards expressing interest in attending.
The Courier: Which arts will be taught at the academy? Fuller: Programs are expected to include music (band, chorus, guitar, orchestra and piano), dance (classical and modern), theater, technical theater, musical theater, visual art (2-D, 3-D, sculpture and photography), film and creative writing.
The Courier: What about the academic program? Fuller: The arts academy will offer a full academic program to meet state standards required for graduation, plus courses in Advanced Placement and dual enrollment. Partnerships with community organizations such as Columbus State University, Columbus Technical College and the Springer Opera House will add further expertise to the academy’s staff.
Even the core courses of English, math, science and social studies will be infused with arts instruction. The students will be taught the same state standards as they would receive in a regular high school but sometimes in a more creative way.
The Courier: What programs won’t the arts academy offer that are offered at MCSD’s traditional middle schools and high schools? Fuller: The arts academy won’t offer interscholastic sports or marching band.
The Courier: Who will be the principal and on the faculty? Fuller: The district is conducting a national search for the school’s principal. National searches also will be conducted to hire faculty.
The Courier: The arts academy will
The Courier: Can you provide us with any details about the construction project? Fuller: The $36 million project is designed to produce a three-story, 118,500-square-foot facility. Hecht Burdeshaw of Columbus is the architect, and Brasfield Gorrie of Columbus is the construction contractor. The funding comes from the 1 percent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax county voters renewed in 2003, 2009 and 2015. The academy will comprise a 650-seat auditorium with a balcony, a mini theater, a black-box theater, a recital hall, an outdoor studio, dance studios and film editing rooms. The Courier: Will transportation be provided? Fuller: The district will provide bus transportation for students to and from the academy, but families will be responsible for transporting their children to and from the required after-school rehearsals and performances that will stretch into the evenings and weekends.
The Courier: Any ideas on what the arts academy will be be named? Fuller: Muscogee County School Board policy allows the representative of the voting district in which a new school is located to recommend the name for the board to approve. The arts academy is in District 1, represented by board vice chairwoman Pat Hugley Green. She said a committee of community arts supporters is helping her, and she expects to recommend a name during the board’s Dec. 12 meeting. The Courier: What is the phone number to call for more information about the arts academy? Fuller: Call the MCSD Arts and Humanities Department at 706-7482122.

By Wane A. Hailes Special to The Courier
After years of being harassed by family and friends Ramona G. Horton finally embraced her cooking skills and started a catering service. Crème de la Crème, a unique and Independent Catering group began with its sole focus being the success of their clients event. When it comes to catering, creating and hosting special events, Horton’s mission is to produce unique results, using exclusive and dynamic energy, offering great taste that your guests will remember.
On August 17th in 2015 the local entrepreneur took a leap of faith expanding the business to offer more than just catering by opening a Diner located in the Flatrock Plaza Shopping Center at 6381 Milgen Road, Suite 5. Crème De La Crème Catering and Diner is a small restaurant featuring a variety of menu items that vary daily. The Diner’s menu is inspired from different specialties, from Southern/Comfort Foods, Chef Specialties to Seafood that will appeal to a wide and varied clientele. Horton says, “We chose our location in the Northeast area of Columbus, Georgia, because we would be sur-
rounded by cozy southern charm with an elegant flair. As you can see the Diner has a nice and cozy atmosphere with warm colors, soft music and/or television. The environment is one that we believe will attract a diverse clientele. The service will be relaxed, very friendly and professional. As we grow we will hire the best people available, training, motivating, encouraging, and thereby retaining the friendliest most efficient staff possible.
The Diner is open 5 days a week serving lunch from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. It will be closed on specified holidays, but will be posted in advance. Ramona noted, “Although we will open on some holidays, we will close periodically for vacations, or to host special events such as office, retirement, engagement parties, baby and bridal showers or other requested parties.”
Catering and Event Planning will continue to be a part of the business. They can be reached at 706.587.8513 or you can visit their website at www.cremedelacremecatering.weebly.co m.

Damien Escobar, Hip Hop Violinist, to Appear at 2017 MLK Commemoration
Mayor’s Commission on Unity, Diversity and Prosperity Announces Plans for January MLK: The Dream Lives Unity Commemoration
Damien Escobar, world renowned violinist, will appear at the 2017 MLK:The Dream Lives Unity Commemoration on Saturday, January 14, 2017. Damien Escobar’s claim to fame came early on in his teens when he, alongside his brother, appeared on “America’s Got Talent” as Nuttin’ but Stringz. They were two urban kids from Jamaica, Queens, playing a blend of hip hop and classical melodies with a violin. No longer with his brother, Damien has continued to wow crowds, including at the CBS Upfront Presentation, Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chef Awards, Indy Car Championship Awards, Major League Baseball Annual Golf Fundraiser Event, Russell Simmons’ Hip Hop Inaugural Ball, and corporate concerts for FRIDAYS, Walmart, Target, and more.
The Dream Lives event is a community festival that assembles a diverse group to celebrate the continued importance and relevancy of Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream of unity, equality and justice for all people regardless of race, classification or economic status. Corporations, churches, schools, fraternities and sororities may register for the free event at www.columbusga.org beginning on December 9, 2016. Deadline for registration is January 6, 2017.
When discussing why the next The
Dream Lives event will feature a musician for the first time, Mayor Teresa Tomlinson commented, “Damien Escobar is an extraordinary talent with a story of raw determination and resilience. He’s not just an amazing violinist, but his music inspires unity, harmony and hope. He’s perfect for the spirit of this event.” This is the fourth year the Mayor’s Commission has organized the commemorative event and the third year it will be held in the Liberty Cultural District. The Liberty Cultural District was once the hub for African American entertainment and culture. The Liberty Theater is a major historic landmark having hosted on its stage such notables as Cab Calloway, Ma Rainey and Nat King Cole. The event features a Unity Processional that commences promptly at noon and converges on the green space in front of the Liberty Theater. Added this year is a 10K run in addition to the MLK 5K organized in collaboration with the Courier newspaper and Big Dog Running. Organizers of the event expect to announce the full slate of activities as
the date of the event nears. The Mayor’s Commission on Unity, Diversity and Prosperity is comprised of over 25 civic and corporate individuals committed to the mission of ensuring that every citizen is valued and pre-
sented with equal access to opportunities. In the past, the commission has teamed up with WTVM and CSU to present forums on Diversity. Contact Information: Judith Tucker (706) 225-3163 Sara Lim (706) 366-4408

as “making American great again,” then incumbent Democrats may be in trouble. Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, also on the ballot, has described Democrats in the Senate as the “emergency brake” on Trump’s policy proposals. I expect the Democrats to vocally take Trump and his team on when they revert to the racist rhetoric and proposed racist, misogynistic, and jingoistic policies that Trump promoted during the campaign, but will they? They may not want to be perceived as obstructionists (though Republicans surely didn’t mind being obstructionists with President Obama), and they will certainly need to pick their battles carefully, but they must speak out.
Midterm election turnout is always extremely low – it was just 36 percent in 2014, the lowest level in 70 years. Democrats must start now to educate and encourage people to turn out for the midterm elections. Voting rights organizations must begin now to reverse the voter suppression that kept millions from voting on November 8. If Democrats don’t get busy now, Republicans will, indeed, prevail in 2018. So, let’s stop wringing our hands and moaning. Let’s get busy!

Consejos Para Conducir Con Seguridad Durante El Invierno
(StatePoint) Aunque el invierno puede ser una estación muy hermosa, también puede ser una época traicionera en las carreteras. Las condiciones de conducción en el invierno exigen mayor atención y capacidad para adaptarse con rapidez. En 2015, 8,010 personas murieron a nivel nacional en choques de automóviles entre diciembre y marzo, lo cual resultó en un aumento mensual promedio de siete por ciento comparado al 2014, según el Consejo Nacional de Seguridad (NSC). Estos números son una advertencia para todas las personas que conducen en la carretera sobre lo peligroso que puede ser conducir en el invierno. “El invierno se ve más idílico afuera de las ventanas de nuestro hogar que afuera de nuestro parabrisas”, dijo Deborah A.P. Hersman, presidente y
directora general del Consejo Nacional de Seguridad. “Las buenas noticias son que muchos automóviles están equipados con tecnologías que salvan vidas. Es importante que los conductores entiendan cómo funcionan esas tecnologías a fin de conducir con seguridad en condiciones de invierno”. En un esfuerzo por evitar choques en carretera este invierno, MyCarDoesWhat (Mi coche hace qué), una iniciativa del NSC y de la Universidad de Iowa, está ofreciendo consejos importantes para conducir en condiciones de invierno. • Baje la velocidad. Con frecuencia, los conductores subestiman el tiempo qué toma frenar y lo difícil que puede ser controlar el auto en carreteras resbaladizas. • No use el control de crucero en superficies resbaladizas como son el hielo y la nieve. Esto disminuirá su control y
reducirá su tiempo de reacción en caso de un patinazo. • Recuerde que los puentes y pasos a desnivel se congelan antes que las calles, así que debe estar alerta cuando se aproxime a alguno en clima frío. • Muchas de las nuevas tecnologías de seguridad (como las cámaras para retroceder) tienen sensores externos que pueden congelarse o nublarse. Asegúrese siempre de que estén limpios de modo que puedan funcionar de manera óptima. MyCarDoesWhat también les recuerda a los conductores las tecnologías de seguridad que pueden ayudar a los vehículos a adaptarse en condiciones resbaladizas y cambiantes. • Los sistemas de freno antibloqueo (ABS) ayudan a los conductores a mantener el control evitando que las ruedas se bloqueen. El ABS funciona distin-
to de los frenos tradicionales, aplicando y liberando una presión de frenado precisa a cada rueda según sea necesario. Por ello, no bombee los frenos si tiene ABS. Sólo manténgalos oprimidos firmemente y mire y conduzca en la dirección en la que desea ir. Los frenos pueden zumbar y vibrar cuando el ABS se ha activado. • El control de tracción le ayuda a acelerar sin patinar en superficies resbaladizas como la nieve y el hielo. • El control electrónico de la estabilidad detecta cuando usted puede estar perdiendo el control al dar vuelta en una esquina o curva y puede estabilizar el auto si empieza a salirse del camino. • Los faros adaptables se ajustan a las condiciones cambiantes del camino, como serían las curvas, para ofrecer una iluminación óptima a lo largo del camino durante las largas noches de invierno y períodos de baja visibilidad
durante el día. • La función de advertencia de la temperatura lo pone al corriente sobre las condiciones que hay más adelante en el camino, como sería el hielo negro. “Cuando hay nieve y hielo en el camino, los frenos antibloqueo pueden mejorar la estabilidad de su frenado, de modo que pueda conducir mejor”, dijo Dan McGehee, director del Simulador Nacional Avanzado de Conductores de la Universidad de Iowa. “Recuerde mantener oprimidos los frenos incluso cuando pulsan y vibran”. Para obtener más información, visite MyCarDoesWhat.org y siga a MyCarDoesWhat en Twitter y Facebook. Manténgase seguro este invierno. Aprenda cómo funciona su auto y conduzca lento en condiciones peligrosas.

El Alto Costo de Eliminar a la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia
Por Philip E. Wolgin
Center For American Progress (Hasta la fecha, la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia, o DACA, ha protegido a más de 741.000 jóvenes de la deportación y les ha ortogado permisos de trabajo renovables. Estudios han demostrado que DACA esta teniendo grandes beneficios para individuales, familias, y comunidades. Por ejemplo, beneficiarios de DACA – referidos frecuentemente como individuales DACAmented – han sido capaz de usar sus habilidades y capacitación para obtener mejores empleos, y están obteniendo más educación. Todas estas cosas se traducen en salarios mas altos y mejores resultados económicos. Los beneficiarios también están comprando automóviles y casas en grandes cantidades, e iniciando negocios nuevos, trayendo ingresos fiscales significativos a ciudades y estados a través de todo el país. Habiendo dicho esto, durante su campaña para la presidencia, el presidente-electo Donald Trump prometió eliminar a DACA. Todavía no sabemos si de hecho eliminará la iniciativa, pero en el intervalo, grupos como United We Dream han proporcionado orientación sobre lo que beneficiarios de DACA deberían tener en cuenta antes del día de la inauguración en enero. ¿Pero qué pasaría si el presidente-electo Trump eliminara DACA y los beneficiarios perdieran sus permisos de trabajo, teniendo que abandonar la fuerza laboral? Usando estimaciones extrapoladas de un estudio innovador por el Center for American Progress- “El Impacto Económico de deportar a los inmigrantes sin autorización de trabajo“- hemos
calculado que eliminar DACA costaría por lo menos $433.4 mil millones en producto interno bruto, o PIB, cumulativo de los Estados Unidos a lo largo de una década. En estos momentos, en los que la economía al fin se está recuperando de la Gran Recesión, una pérdida de esta magnitud es una que la nación no puede aguantar. De acuerdo a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 741.546 personas han recibido DACA hasta la fecha. Un sondeo de beneficiarios de DACA en octubre 2016– conducida por Tom K. Wong, United We Dream, the National Immigration Law Center, y CAP– encontró que 87 por ciento de beneficiarios están trabajando. Combinando estas dos figuras– 87 por ciento de 741.546– significa que eliminar DACA reduciría la economía por 645.145 trabajadores. Es más, si el presidente-electo Trump llevara a cabo una política de deportación masiva de los estimados 11 millones de inmigrantes sin autorización en la nación, como ha prometido, le costaría al producto interno bruto de los Estados Unidos un poco mas que $4.7 billones acumulativamente en el transcurso de una
década, de acuerdo al estudio de CAP. De esos 11 millones, el estudio estima que 7 millones son trabajadores. La porción de trabajadores DACAmentados representa 9 por ciento de trabajadores sin autorización en la fuerza laboral – 645.145 dividido por 7 millon – y tomando en cuenta 9 por ciento de $4,7 billón, llegamos a $433.4 mil millones perdidos en PIB a lo largo de una década. Nota: Este análisis supone que la distribución geográfica y de habilidades de la fuerza laboral DACAmententada aproximadamente se parece a la fuerza laboral sin autorización total.
