FOUNDING THOUGHTS

A Word from the Publisher

By William â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billâ&#x20AC;? Blair Elite News Founder

Debra Blair Abron

Nothing will stop us

VOLUME 52 EDITION 34

Saluting those who serve

The devil is busy in all of our lives.

Satan is attempting to destroy everything that we have labored to build, and that the Lord has allowed us to establish. That includes our Twelve years ago the thought families, our businesses, or churches came to me to start a and our communities. As the old folks Religious Hall of Fame. once said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Satan is a liar.â&#x20AC;? .HHVKD &KDPEHUV :HQG\ 6FKRÂżHOG DQG 6KHUUL Âł'ROO´ 5LFKDUGVRQ ZKR LV WKH After all, we had them for actors and for athletes but we did not have a single one in the country for the men and women who served God and our communities, so it seemed only the natural thing to do.

I looked around and identified a few of the pastors who had contributed mightily to making Dallas and all of the surrounding areas a better place to live for everyone.

Our first Hall of Fame event was small.

I have always believed that great things M"7/(D(( ( have humble beginnings. ( Now, some 12 years later, we have an elaborate event with music, praise dancers, politicians, members of the clergy, deacons, church members and excellent people from the community.

While it is said that Bill Blair started the Elite News Religious Hall of Fame, it was God who planted the seed and God who has allowed the concept to grow and prosper.

Dallas is the only city in the country that has a Religious Hall of Fame that each year recognizes the contributions of the clergy.

And we must prove him so.

One of the ways that we can prove that is by recognizing his presence. He comes in the form of people, organizations and events.

If we are not careful he will swallow us all up and destroy the good works that we have built.

One of the ways that we will defeat Satan is by staying in constant prayer. We must always find our way to our knees to petition God for direction and guidance. When we get to the point where we think (

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.

Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude."

PRAYER CLOSET

I want to thank all of those who have worked to make the Hall of Fame a success.

It is also because of you that we will be taking the concept to the nation. May God continue to bless each and every one of you.

The Lord has laid it on my heart to share the concept with others in various parts of the country.

And all of us know, of course, that when God plants a seed, He allows it to grow.

We will be successful because we have followed God these past 12 years and we have no intention of thinking that we know better than He does as we look towards the future.

We must also continue to pray and pray continuously. I have found in my own life that prayer changes things.

Favorite School Activity(s): Volleyball

That is not for long.

Using the blueprint that we have developed in Dallas, Halls of Fame will be established in cities such as Miami, Houston, Detroit, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Cleveland, New York, Baltimore, Birmingham, Durham, Phoenix, Chicago, and many others in the years to come.

MINISTER OF THE WEEK

By Rev. Clarence Henderson

Have you noticed that when you commune with God in your Prayer Closet, you began to see more into the spiritual realm? Prayer causes your spiritual eyes to be opened so that you can see the unseen. Keenness in the spirit realm comes as you discipline yourself in prayer, praise, fasting and renewing your mind by Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. Ask God to reveal spiritual reality to you like Elisha did when he asked God to open the eyes of his servant and allow him to see the chariots of protection.

Recorded in 2 King 6:16-17, so he answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do Not Fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.â&#x20AC;? Then Elisha prayed and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Lord, I pray open his eyes that he may see.â&#x20AC;? And the Lord opened the servantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, and he saw; and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Sports with Bill Toliver’s Talents

With all the hype of the Olympics over, I had a very interesting conversation about who was the worlds greatest athlete? Now as you can imagine names came out of the woodwork!! Hearing all of the legendary names took our conversation back into sports history. I started thinking about which athletes fit into this legendary category and who the greatest pure athletes of all times are? As we trace some of the greatest pure athletes in history, let's take in to account their overall success, their multiple-sport

London Olympics capabilities and their natural ability to compete.Here is a list of just few players that are considered to be the greatest pure athletes to ever grace the surface of this earth. For theses players, just showing up made the crowds go wild.-Allen Iverson- this player had one of the nastiest crossover moves in the history of the game, Allen Iverson built a legacy that featured broken ankles and speechless commentators. Iverson’s athleticism was on display long before he entered the NBA.

This 5'9" cornerback was poetry in motion on the gridiron. Green could hit, run, and catch. Green also received 10 All-America certificates in track and field while at Texas A &M - Kingsville.

ROLLIN WITH A BROTHA

By Kevan Browning Welcome to the weekend baaaaaby!!!

Well there's tons of back to school stuff happening this weekend!

Our kids are going back to the hallowed halls of education and parents can breathe! Ahhh... It's very cool that so many groups and organizations are lending a helping hand this year for our kids. This Saturday(8/25) Looking West, Ft.Worth's Dunbar High's back to school rally runs 9a-1p, while Katt William's Development group does it's thing , same Remeisha Shade time at Bachman Lake.

Sunday Millennium Cut's gives free food, fun and supplies 4p-9p in Dallas! Speaking of education, are you aware that The Democratic National Convention starts September 4th in Charlotte North Carolina? Are you aware that many state and localities have made new requirements to vote. For instance, early voting in the state of Ohio used to accommodate working people, by allowing weekend and after hours(5pm) voting, but no more! Turns out the Republican controlled electorate of the state cancelled it, probably after discovering that 82% of early voters in the above categories were minorities who voted Democrat. Other state's have come up with new mandatory identification laws, that potentially disenfranchise Blacks and Latino's. I don't know where you pick this paper up, nor how you feel about it, but I'd suggest you start to care.

Don't get mad... Before reading this piece, did you have any idea when the Democratic National Convention was or the location? There's been a real lack of excitement in our community about President Obama's campaign, despite all he's done for the poor and middle class. Turning around 8 years of George W. Bush is an ongoing process! Make sure you, your mama, daddy, grandma, big momma, grandaddy, uncle's, aunt's and your cousin "nims" are registered. You may have not noticed, nor paid attention, but the Republican platform is attacking the poor, middle class and is decidedly anti-woman! Wake up!!! Now, help me down from my soap box! One Democrat that's taking no stuff is rapper L.L. Cool J! L.L. caught a burglar in his home, body slammed and pinned the guy until police arrived this week...Dear Mark Cuban, stop holding a grudge against Jason Kidd. Get over Jason leaving for the Knicks and a chance to be on a really good team. Mark, you disrespected NBA Defensive MVP Tyson Chandler in the way you pushed him off the team and he let people know. Don't be surprised that NBA Players like Deron Williams think twice about coming here.

Winning a championship, should at the least insure that the best players will be here for awhile! Love ya Mark, just keep it real with yourself and us! Good to see Robin Roberts back on Good Morning America!

Keep her in your prayers as she fights her illness. You may remember local TV talent like Ashley Banfield, sports guy Kurt Menefee, Rene Syler that were never respected here and Mark Cuban ultimately moved onto the National scene? After a reshuffling of folks and a new contract for head weather dude, David Finfrock at Channel 5, the incredibly competent and stylish Remeisha Shade, remains as the weekend morning meteorologist. Look for Ms. Shade to be the next national talent to shake her head, as she moves to bigger and better things on the national level! Happy Birthday to YOU and celebs this week:Melvin Van Peeble's 80, Regis Philbin 78,Clarence Williams III 73, Bill Clinton is 66, Al Roker 58, Blair Underwood 48, Kel Mitchell 34 and Masta P's kid Lil Romeo is 23. You can reach out to me thru email at Smokinkevan@verizon.net, follow me @smokinkevan on Twitter or Google me and listen to my radio show that carried in 115 cities across the U.S. Thanks for "Rollin With A Brotha" in The Elite News!

Dallas Black Council members walk out Dallas City Council approved a major shake-up of the municipal judge roster after a heated discussion and a walk-out by some members on Wednesday.

Council member Carolyn Davis and Mayor Mike Rawlins seemed to have harsh words during the divisive debate along racial lines. The Council’s action removed half of the current bench including Tim Gonzalez, Cheryl Williams and a host of other judges.

The fight that led to the ousting, including a walk out by the council’s four black members, promises to have long lasting effects.

Councilman Dwaine Caraway angry that the jobs of two black judges are in jeopardy said, “I’m not trying to throw the race card;

Afterward, Judge Victor Lander said he was stunned and “at a loss.”

“I’m thankful to the Council that they were kind enough to put me back on the bench where I belong,” he said. “But I’m very, very disturbed about

The Blessing of Brokenness

By Geraldine Davidson- Hooker We've all seen restored furniture. Restoring furniture involves stripping away old varnish or paint with strong chemicals.

This reveals all the nooks, crannies and original spots on the piece. The sanding takes place next - the wood is rubbed with coarse sandpaper in order to level out its imperfections. Then the furniture is ready to receive a new stain or paint color - it's ready for a new look.

New glory can be given to old furniture. And God can do the same thing with us. He can put new glory inside an old life, but He must first strip away our old nature and sand away our sinful strongholds.

We shouldn't run from being broken. It's not pleasant or happy, but it will produce a better life. Brokenness is a blessing because it puts us on the road to a breakthrough. Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit" (Matthew 5:3) Those who are spiritually broken will be blessed because they will see God and experience His reality flowing through their lives.

Scripture promises that God remains with those who are broken and makes them stronger than before. Psalm 34:18 says, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Isaiah 61:3 teaches that God would give those who mourn and are broken "a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."

Sharnette Hyter, continued from page 8 However, Sharnette may be best known in the Dallas area for her accomplishments as a small business owner. She credits one of her early mentors, Mrs. Mary Luckey (community activist and long-time President of Southeast Dallas Business Professional Womens’ Club), for molding her into the businesswoman she is today. Sharnette has owned and operated a variety of businesses in the Dallas area, and opened her first business—Group 1 Salon in DeSoto, Texas—at the age of 19.

Sharnette’s latest business venture is Universal Hair Restoration & Spiritual Health Clinic in Duncanville, Texas. After training under re-knowned New Orleans/ M i a m i H a i r Tr i c h o l o g i s t Specialist and Pocahontas International Hair virgin hair owner/importer, Trish Skidmore, Sharnette has now joint-ventured with Ms. Skidmore to bring her revolutionary hair loss treatment, medical hair prosthesis and life skills system to Dallas. The grand opening of their Universal Hair Restoration & Spiritual Health Clinic at 930A South Cedar Ridge Lane, Duncanville, Texas 75136, is scheduled for October 1, 2012.

Sharnette has also managed many clubs in the Dallas Metroplex area, and has promoted events across the U.S. Sharnette is known for her love for live entertainment, and has supported artists and D.J.’s for the last decade. She is known for her contribution to helping break some of the most well known hip hop artists in the South by August 24, 2012

showcasing them at her Club Diamonds--the Club that helped mold the Dallas hip hop scene.

She is known as “The Queen of Underground Music”, and loves all Music. Sharnette started has her own Independent Record Label and Entertainment Company, and is represented by N e w Yo r k / A t l a n t a - b a s e d entertainment attorney, Kendell Minter. Sharnette has learned the hard way about the Music Industry. She has experienced, first hand, what happens when your music business isn’t in order.

She expresses this concern by telling others about how she has songs still being played today, for which she doesn’t receive royalties. She stresses that all artists need an attorney and a manager.

Sharnette’s latest venture is as the Events Coordinator for the new The Bellagio Entertainment Center, located at 1701 S. Lamar Street in Dallas, Texas, where she plans to once again expose Dallas to the very best in fine dining and entertainment from around the world.

Sharnette is currently recording her new R&B CD, which is being produced by Reggie Love, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Sharnette’s music and books can be found online at w w w. s h a r n e t t e h y t e r. c o m , Amazon.com, iTunes.com, c d b a b y. c o m , and barnesandnobles.com. Sharnette ultimately credits all her success to God. Her motto is “Failure is never an option… Life is Limitless.” www.dfwelitenews.com

By Joseph Green-Bishop Elite News Staff Writer

Nearly 600 believers from across the state of Texas packed the ballroom of a local Dallas hotel last Saturday to welcome 19 new inductees into the Elite News Religious Hall of Fame which was founded by Elite News publisher William Blair 12 years ago to honor the contributions that members of the clergy make to our society.

“I started this event because there were halls of fame for everyone except members of the faith community,” said Blair, who was recently featured in a New York Times article because of the donation of his archives to the University of Texas at Arlington.

Among these inducted into the 2012 class of the Hall of Fame were Sister Savitri Brown from the New El Bethel Baptist Church in Dallas, Pastor Yvette Devine of the Ambassadors of Chris, Reverend Wanda Bolton Davis of Disciples Ministry, Reverend Robert Townsend of Mt Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas, Reverend Bryan Carter, pastor of the Concord Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas, Reverend E.C. Wilson of the Griggs Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor British Tharpe of Berea Baptist Church, Reverend Kerry Duffey, Reverend George Johnson of St. Paul AME Church in Waco, Reverend J.D. Palmer of Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Longview, Reverend Danny Davis of Jordan Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Dr. John W. Mosley of Bexar Street Baptist Church, Reverend William Boulden of New Vision Community Baptist Church, Reverend Robert Reed of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Deacon Maurice Dotson of Good Street Baptist Church, Reverend Leonard Charles Stovall of Glen Oaks United Methodist Church, Reverend William D. McNealy of Greater El Bethel Baptist Church, Pastor David Jones of Arlington Park First Baptist Church and MC Bishop Ray Campbell of Ideal Pentacostal.

August 24, 2012

Reverend John A. Davis of Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church was inducted posthumously. Among those who attended the event were area business owners Corey Toney and John E. Beckwith Jr. “I applaud Mr. Blair for having the vision to create the Religious Hall of Fame,” said Toney, the owner of C.T's . Real Deal Barbeque. “The faith community is crucial to our growth and development as a society. I do not know where we would be without people of faith.”

“William Blair has always been a visionary and the Elite News Religious Hall of Fame is an example of his greatness,” said Beckwith, the chief executive officer of the Golden Gate Funeral Home. “I am grateful for his presence in the community and for the presence of the men and women who are being inducted into the Hall of Fame year after year.”

Pastor Louis Laurent, the shepherd of the Little Flock Missionary Baptist Church in Forney, Texas was the master of ceremonies for the induction ceremony and the dinner that accompanied it.

Pastor Laurent delighted the audience with a battery of jokes and biblical recitations. “I want to thank all of you who are here today,” said Pastor Laurent, who is also a real estate executive in the Dallas area.

“Your very presence demonstrates your commitment to the goodness of our community and to the important role that people of faith perform in the community.”

Each inductee was presented in a video presentation to the audience, and received a fashionable wrist watch and writing case both engraved with Elite News Religious Hall of Fame.

“We could never reward them with what they really deserve,” said Debra Blair Abron, the publisher of the Elite News. “We have some wonderful people in our community and it is important that they are recognized for the many blessings that they bestow upon us.”

Fact:

Yard waste washed down our storm drainage system is a form of pollution and accounts for a fifth of all garbage generated in the U.S. each year. Yard waste decomposes in

local creeks, lakes, and the Trinity River causing algae to grow.

Too much algae lowers the amount of oxygen in the water which may suffocate aquatic and plant life.

Did you know...

Sweeping or blowing yard waste into the street and storm drainage system could cost you up to $2000?

Tips: +Sweep or blow grass clippings from your sidewalk, driveway, and street back onto your yard.

Yard clippings act as a natural fertilizer. +Fallen leaves should be raked or blown from your yard, sidewalk, driveway, and street, collected then bagged and placed for collection during your bulk waste collection week. +Compost your grass clippings and leaves; They can serve as a natural fertilizer. www.dfwelitenews.com
