CELEBRATING 52 YEARS OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY
Thank you Dallas! By William “Bill” Blair Founder - Elite News
I would like to thank the legions of clergy, public citizens, public officials and residents of the Dallas area who came to the Antioch Church recently as my family and I said farewell to our son, husband, father, sibling and uncle, Jordan Randle Blair. Your kind thoughts, your Jordan Randle Blair poignant stories and your expressions of sympathy were greatly appreciated and much needed. My son, “Randy”, gave his life to The Elite News, its readers, its advertisers and those who have come to rely upon the newspaper as a fountain of information in the Dallas metroplex. Jordan served the Elite News as its publisher. The paper was in good hands while he was at the helm of leadership. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace him. If Jordan were here, he would tell all of us to continue on with our lives, with our faiths and with our missions. He would implore us to remember that the whisperish periods of time that we live on this earth are great gifts from God, and that we must do all that we can to honor the Creator for His generosity and belief in us. More than 50 years ago when I began the work known as the Elite News, I knew that I would not be able to do it forever. I knew one day the trumpets would sound and my note would be played in Heaven, and the last story that I wrote would be my final one. It was that way for Jordan and will be that way for all of us. Jordan did not get the chance to say thank you to the many advertisers and friends who have supported the Elite News throughout the years. So, let me say it for him: THANK YOU! He believed in you, he trusted you, he served you. This paper, in the hands of new management, will continue in the legacy that Jordan helped to mold. It will continue to be the best source of information for the church and the community in North Texas. It will continue to be truthful, reliable and earnest. It is the only way that members of the Blair family know how to publish a newspaper. And it is what you can expect to receive for many years to come. May God continue to bless you and give you health, prosperity and love.

West Dallas celebrates opening of Bridge The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, a 400-foot white arch, the first of its kind located in the United States, was designed by the worldrenowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, had its grand opening -- becoming the “Gateway to the West.” The bridge is seen as new opportunity for businesses and a new start for change within the community of West Dallas. This past weekend brought new life into a community that for years has been often over looked and sometimes forgotten, a weekend to remember, a weekend of history making for West Dallas community residence, business owners and its Chamber. The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, grand event and celebration marked three days of fun, cultural, and unity for the Dallas community and West Dallas. The weekend was filled with events for families and a time to come together in unity in an area of town that has been long over looked for its value and its people. The “Bridge O Rama” was the spark that started this memorable time, the brain child of the West Dallas Chamber ’s President, Randall White. Because of the Bridge O Rama, people from all over Texas came together to see new life and vigor from a pride filled community of strong people. The events included car shows, art galleries, baseball for the kids, fitness festivals, food, music, fireworks, church leaders praying together and the highlight of the weekend “The Parade of Giants” A history making parade of 15-foottall giant puppets of West Dallas Legends were built by special artist and community volunteers to honor individuals that has been instrumental in making a difference and giving back to the community of West Dallas.

The artist looked to the community groups and family member to help bring a clear vision from their life and contributions. I had the pleasure of meeting the artist for Bettie Odom of Odom’s Bar BQ… Walter Johnson and Eric Pounce, two talented and gifted young artists demonstrated a passion and natural gift to create beauty from the simplest of things. Both expressed a special bond with the volunteers and the family of Mrs. Odom, one that will last a lifetime. The entire weekend of events brought Blacks, Hispanic and Whites together within the West Dallas community, together all making history for a new change and a new start, while bridging the gap of community and race.

They passed their Legacy torch to Robert Mayes, a local pharmacist and Dallas Police Department Deputy Chief Vernon Hale who are the next generation of individuals who have made achievements in their professions and outstanding contributions to their communities. “Our honorees have a history of accomplishments in their professions which are exemplary,” said Dr. Beverly MitchellBrooks, Urban League President and CEO, “and they continue to set high standards through their volunteerism and community service.

Ask Dr. Hollie Dear Dr. Hollie: My husband and I were married for three years and then we got a divorce because we just could not get along and I believed he was cheating. There were other issues as well that we were never able to work out. However, during our marriage we tried, unsuccessfully, to have a baby. It’s been a year since our divorce; I’ve moved on and am very happy. However, a few months ago, we were both at a mutual friend’s wedding. We got to talking and, with lots of champagne in our systems, ended up going to bed together. Now, I am pregnant! Go figure! I am happy in my life without him, and have no plans on getting back together. I don’t want to be connected to him in any way, so I’m thinking seriously about not even telling him that I am pregnant. I can raise this baby on my own, and maybe he can go on and find someone else to have a child with. I just think it would be for the best. I really don’t see what the problem is, but I have friends and family that tell me I shouldn’t take this route. Could you please tell me what you think and why? Divorced and Pregnant Dear Pregnant, I am shocked and disappointed that you think that you can just take a child and claim independent ownership of it. I think that you have a moral responsibility, if nothing else, to inform your ex-husband that he is going to be a father. What the two of you decide to do after that will strictly become your decision. Whatever you do, I suggest that in some way you allow him to help you parent this child. Dr. Hollie is a Pastor and practicing psychotherapist in the city. For questions and comments, please write to askdrhollie@aol.com. March 9, 2012
Notes From Union Hope Our lesson for Church school was “Wisdoms Part in Creation” Prov. 8:22-35. The text call’s our attention to the fact that this world had an architect that planned God’s creation called “Wisdom.” The personification of wisdom is a Elder Lloyd T. Morgan figure of speech used by the sages of old to help the hearer better relate to what is being spoken. In this lesson we see wisdom portrayed as “Lady Wisdom” in order to give us a down to earth perspective
Our lesson for church school on an intangible commodity, but true wisdom is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. I am often amazed at those academic people that believe that all of creation is some kind of accident. I have seen many accidents in my lifetime but they always seemed to create disorder instead of order. Wisdom says in the lesson that she was there before the Lord created anything. She goes on to say “I was the architect at his side (God’s). Dear reader have you overlooked this much needed thing for life called wisdom? James 1:5 says to us; “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. (NLT). Without wisdom education is almost useless.
Prayer Closet
We held our Baptismal service between Church School and morning worship, we were glad to see the many that came to that service. Our morning message was delivered by Pastor L.T. Morgan from the subject “The death that Satan regrets” Col.2:816.Death has always been the dread of mankind because it seem to be so final. The Bible teaches that Satan come but to steal, kill, and destroy, and death had its way with all humanity. Man was doomed to death and Hell and Satan was a happy camper, “But” Jesus died and rose again and took the sting out of death and the victory out of the grave, and said to mankind because I live you shall live. Be Blessed
MINISTER OF THE WEEK
Go with me once again into the prayer closet and give your Rev. Clarence Henderson undivided attention to the model prayer as recorded in Matthew Chapter 6. Did you take note that there is no “I” or “My” in the model prayer? All of the personal pronouns are “We” and “Our.” What is the real significance in this kind of Rev. British U. Tharpe exclusion and inclusion? The Berea Church Well, you do know that self is the biggest hindrance to victorious “The best sermon is preached by the minister Christian living. We need that who has a sermon to preach and not by the man special touch with God that who has to preach a sermon.” demands that we crucify our self. We should pray for nothing which, if given to us, would in any way Note: We are moving! Our new address is 2349 be harmful to those around us. Cedar Crest Blvd., Dallas, TX 75203. www.elitenews.com

CELEBRATING 52 YEARS OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY
Best on the Web: Skip Murphy and Company By Joseph Green-Bishop - Elite News Staffwriter
When the world famous legendary radio personality Tom Joyner had to find a temporary replacement for himself during his weeks of convalescing from surgery, he quickly turned to another radio legend to host his morning show that elevates the mornings for millions of listeners across the country. Joyner asked Skip Murphy, a radio legend in Dallas for fifteen years, to entertain his listeners and lead his team. This was not difficult for Murphy, a North Carolina native, who to the delight of hundreds of thousands in the DFW area has once again teamed up with broadcast phenoms Nanette Lee, Sam Putney, Wig and Chris Arnold to launch a morning show unlike any other in the country. “We want people to know that we are back,” said Murphy who spent 15 years with his team at a local Dallas radio station. “This time our audience is going to be global. We have been on the air for a period of months and we have listeners in China, England, South America, throughout the United States and all across the globe,” he said. The former show was called the Skip Murphy Morning Show. On a typical morning, nearly 500,000 people listened to the morning team for four hours. It became more than just a radio show. It was a celebration of life in which Skip, Nannette, Chris, Wig and Sam cajoled each other and entertained their listeners while bringing tears of intense joy and carnival-like laughter to those who listened to them. It was often said that
employers in the Dallas area knew that their workers could get little work done during the hours when the show was on the air. “We want people to know that we are back,” said Skip while sitting in the
show concluded all of us did not stay in contact with one another, but this was meant to be. We are more than a radio show. We are a family whose broadcast presence is crucial to the lives of all of those who listen to our show.”
Wig, Sam, Nanette, Skip and Chris
North Dallas studio from which the team broadcasts their four-hour internet radio show five days each week. “We are the same great show, now in social media, he said. “It was God who led us back together as a team,” said Putney, a native of Houston who spent many of his early radio years in Los Angeles. “I worked with some wonderful people on the west coast, but I have never worked with a team of professionals like the one that we have assembled. After our old
Treasures of the City
The five of them ended their first collective radio run in 2007. All of them went their separate ways, sometimes not communicating with each other for months. In 2010, they decided to get back together, making a demo in June of that year. “We knew that the magic was still there, Putney said. Wig, the show’s producer who worked in radio with Murphy in North Carolina when they both were starting out in the business, characterized the show as a “social movement.”
STUDENT OF THE WEEK
“The impact that we have previously had in the lives of people will continue,” he said. “There were times in the past when we would be on air and Nanette would be talking to someone in an attempt to prevent them from committing suicide. We became very special in the lives of people and we intend to become even more so.” Chris, a native of Memphis, said that ‘Encore Entertainment’ will be the group’s brand name. “Even though our show is one the internet, there are advertising and investment possibilities available for companies, large and small. We know we have something special and we plan to share it with people around the world.” “While we believe that we are excellent radio personalities,” Nanette, a nationally known comedian said, “Our faiths are the foundations of what inspires us to do what we do. God has not brought us this far to leave us,” she said. They are still a blast; live each morning from 9 until 11 Central Standard Time.

Rollin with a Brother... Welcome to the weekend baby! As I site here Tuesday, enjoying the mild 70 degree weather, I hear the birds chatting in my back yard and now that Spring will soon be here. That said, I know this Texas Weather is more than a trip...It could be 70 today and this Friday when The Elite News rolls out, I might need a coat, lol...Here's to hoping this Friday is awesome, as there is a huge charity event that I'd like to share with you! As a matter of fact, the "Dallas Pays It Forward" event will benefit six charities, including Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gherig's Disease, Organ Donation and Crohn's/Colitis Disease! Tonight at The House of Blues, 2200 North Lamar, Pay It Forward by attending a night of music, dancing and inspiration, with artists from Dallas, New York, Nashville and China. Doors open at 7P.M. It's the kind of evening you can dress up for and only comes once in a while to Dallas/Ft. Worth. Tickets can be purchased thru Ticketma ster. The biggest drama locally has been The Dallas Mavericks/ Lamar Odom circus...After the All-Star break, Odom did not return to the Mavs. There were Lamar Odom rumors that he was trying to force a buyout, so that he could return to his beloved Lakers...There were whispers that his marriage to Khloe Kardashian was on the rocks...There was talk that his dad had serious health problems and words said that he just does not like DFW! I don't know the truth of the matter. I do know that Mark Cuban and his Mavs teammates have been patient, well even beyond patient. It was good to see Odom back on the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night. The Mavs are in the middle of 9 road games in 12 days and need all hands on deck. Hopefully Odom has worked thru the issues that kept him away...For the Mav's sake, let's hope so! The other thing I'm tired of hearing about is the drama between Pilar, Deion and the Sanders family...Pilar has now sued Deion for $200 Million and accused him of having an affair with Babyface's ex-wife Tracey Edmonds, which Ms. Edmonds denies. Last I heard Deion and Pilar were still living under the same roof...Well it's time for somebody to M-O-V-E out! I can't take sides, as nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors...I'm just saying the doors should close in separate residences. Hopefully Deion and his hopefully soon-to-beex, can finish this off quietly, fairly and quickly! Keep your eyes open for the April issue of Essence Magazine. They have an awesome tribute to Whitney Houston scheduled! From the "WAY T O O S O F T T O H AV E B E E F CATEGORY": Looks like a prison beef between Janet Jackson's ex, James Debarge against Dr. Conrad Murray has been squashed. The two reportedly talked behind bars and Debarge "forgave" or whatever Dr. Murray for his role in Michael Jackson's death! Whatever! Happy Birthday to you and celebs this week: Michael Warren 62, Emmanuel "Webster" Lewis 42, Shaquille O'Neal 40 and Bow Wow is 25!

The NFL by far is the favorite professional Sports league. The NFL is so successful there is Church’s that change they’re worship services on Sundays to accommodate football fans. Believe me you can tell whether the Cowboys are playing an early or late game by attendants at early or late service. They can control the scheduling of Church service, yet they have a problem loose lips that they can’t control. Former Redskin, Saints, Bills, coach and Defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams has been accused of having a bounty on offensive players. In the Saints Super-bowl season allegedly, there were bounty’s on Curt Warner of the Cardinal, and Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings. Football has always had some type of reward system, in little league, high school, and college. They give helmet stickers for outstanding plays. Offensively there are rewards for Touchdowns, great catches, etc. defensively, fumble recoveries, caused fumbles, interceptions, etc. Your better player can always be recognized by the helmet decoration. In the NFL at time these guys would get little pools, throw in a few bucks, for first fumble, first interception etc. this almost always was a player only type thing. In most cases it was a positional thing. The defensive backs, line backers, D- line, management has always known but for the most part never participated.
According to reports the New Orleans Saints had bounties for knocking players out of game. Although that was always the underline message it was very seldom said. Because the NFL brotherhood has and unwritten rule, hurt but don’t injure. There is a big difference in hurt and injured. In tackling drills you always taught to hit through the target that in itself is physically impossible without injury. The equipment should protect from injury, or does the use of said equipment aid in injury. The helmet has been proven to be excellent weapon. There is Tidal wave of potential legal actions in the making, since Gregg Williams got management involved. His suspension is eminent, and the teams that he coached are sweating out repercussion from this. The players and ex-players are upset at the thought of one of their own would tell what’s happening in the confines of their locker room. For the benefit of you people that think these games are fixed, should realize that if they are, don’t let the players know, because they can’t keep anything without finding a reporter to tell. There has even been discussion of Sean Peyton being fired as coach of the Saints. is that too drastic. According to reports the Saints were told by the league to cut out the bounty, and they continued. This situation could get as big as Watergate.

A thirst for faith and great health In the nearly 10 years that he has played in the National Football League, Dante Wesley has leaned on his faith and his health to allow him to survive a game that most men only dream of playing. “It has been a blessing to be in the league as long as I have,” said We s l e y, a g r a d u a t e o f t h e University of Arkansas/Pine Bluff, who was drafted in the 4th round by the Carolina Panthers in 2002. “There were plenty of guys who were better ballplayers than me when I was in college,” said Wesley, who attends the Abundant Life Church of God In Christ with his wife, Renetta, and their two small children. “I asked God to wrap his arms around me and allow me to do His will. I knew that I would be successful if I followed what the Lord laid on my heart.” Wesley, a resident of Cedar Hill who works out each morning for nearly three hours during the offseason, believes that he can play at

and their socialization. We have seen the benefits in our own children and we want to share our experience with others.” “My late mother was a nurse,” Dante said. “She instilled in me the importance of eating right and t a k i n g c a r e o f m y b o d y. Unfortunately, the nutrients that we need are not in the foods that we purchase in the supermarkets. That is why Renetta and I are so big on supplementation. In fact, in the NFL you will find many, many players who are looking for food based health supplements that will give them an edge, a boost, a decided advantage.” “Our children and their health, and our own health are very important to us, said Renetta, who like her husband, is a native of Arkansas. “ My and father were very strict when I was being raised. They wanted the very best for me and my sisters, and that is what we want for our children.” “It is always important to have a plan for your life,” said Dante, “In the NFL those who are successful are always planning and always thinking. Planning and a sense of faith have always been at the center of my life. When I walk on the field to play, I pray that the same God who gave me life will protect me, and protect others who I am playing with and against.”

When Dante and Renetta are not at home with their two children, Skylar, 6 and Dante who is 5, they can be found either in church or at a healthcare exhibit where Dante markets children supplements to people who come to his booth, particularly after seeing a picture of him in full NFL gear. “Most people are not giving their children a healthy diet,” said Dante, whose children eat a daily regimen of food supplements called ‘Manna Bears.’ “We want our children to have a full and adequate complement of fruits and vegetables,” said Renetta.

Dual Eligibles could be the healthcare answers you seek D u a l e l i g i b l e s i n d i v i d u a l s g e n e r a l l y q u a l i f y f o r f u l l h e a l t h c a r e c o v e r a g e a t N O C O S T. B y Ti m H a m i l t o n It saddens me to know that many individuals in our senior-community are not receiving the medical treatment they so desperately need due to lack information. Dual eligibles is an example of that; this plan has been around for over 10 years, but few know of its helpful benefits. Some of the eligible items are: o u t p a t i e n t s u rg e r y, h o r m o n e replacements, weight-loss items, eye glasses, hearing services, dental services, over-the-counter items, incontinence supplies, vitamins and minerals. In addition, there are companies that offer no cost transportation not only to
doctors offices but to grocery stores. There are also companies that serve dual eligibles that offer other services. As an example some pay all or a portion of part B of Medicare. This comes out of most people’s Social Security check and for 2012 it is $99.90. Dual eligibles are persons who qualify, in some way, for both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Medicare covers their acute care services, while Medicaid covers Medicare premiums and cost sharing, and—for those below certain income and asset thresholds—long-term care
services and, until 2006, prescription drugs, among other services. We use the term “dual eligible” to include all Medicare beneficiaries who receive Medicaid assistance, including those who receive the full range of Medicaid benefits and those who receive assistance only with Medicare premiums or cost sharing. Our profile of dual eligibles, based on analysis of Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) data, finds a diverse population. Although a high proportion have characteristics associated with being poor (e.g., female, minority, poorly
educated), they vary greatly in other respects (e.g., living situation, health status, age). We find that over one-third of dual eligibles are under 65, 38 percent have cognitive or mental impairments, 22 percent have multiple physical impairments, and 23 percent are institutionalized. However, a full 40 percent of all dual eligibles have less debilitating physical conditions or no impairments at all. If you have questions on dual eligibles contact Tim Hamilton at 214-207-7847. Excerpted from a presentation by National Assurance Group LLC, an Insurance Agency of Texas.

Toliver's Talents- Royce "Snoop" Johnson By Mark A Toliver II Special to The Elite News
Mark A. Toliver II
Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence. It was 10 years ago when Coach "Snoop" Johnson watched as the
Page 12
Lincoln Tigers celebrated a perfect season. Several fans from the Metroplex had come to the Fair Park to cheer for and congratulate the Tigers for their next to impossible feat of a 40-0 basketball season. Yea, you remember the squad Byron Hopkins, Chris Bosh, Byron Eaton, and so on; but "Snoop" looked at me with a big smile and said "this can never be out done. It can only be duplicated.â&#x20AC;? The statement meant something to me because it spoke to the character of this coach! He was overjoyed, that a set of kids from our city had done what most basketball experts said was impossible. I was impressed with the fact the he was so happy for them. Let's not forget that Coach Johnson had led his Kimball Knights to the State Finals that year also. His team was led by a very talented guard by the name of Acy Law. His team was winning the game and lost on
a last second shot at the end of the game! Just like that the dream of a state championship was gone! I'm sure Coach Johnson could have stayed at home that day, or went to play golf or something, but he accepted the invitation to be a part of the celebration and he was truly happy for those young men and what they had accomplished. Now a decade later Coach Snoop and his Kimball Knights are about to do what some experts say is next to impossible, win Back to Back State Championships! It's really impossible when eight seniors graduate from the Championship team. Only leadership can get you through the regular season and the playoffs and to the Final Four. I heard about the sermon (smile) coach gave before, but it was the impact of those words that made the difference. The capacity to rally men and women to a common purpose and

the character which inspires confidence! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we saw in action on Saturday. The Knights were facing cross town rivals South Oak Cliff. Both SOC and Kimball are basketball powerhouses, and SOC had beaten Kimball twice this year! But the character of their coach inspired the confidence to win one of the biggest game of their young lives! Led by senior Shannon Lilly, Kieth Frazier, and D'Angeol Allen these young men put Snoop's words into action. Congratulations to the man behind the players. I have always believed that players are an extension of their coach and I guess you can say this proves my point! So Dallas/Fort Worth -GET THEM Ks Up!!!! The Knights are about to do the impossible! We just need one more sermon!! May God Bless you and Help us Change the world
