he fable of the “Ugly Duckling” has a happy ending. Most children who read or know the story come away with the message that things are not always as bad as they look and that something really beautiful can develop from what looks like failure. leslie Swann (the perfect name for lincoln High School’s first and only female principal) has accepted a daunting task—to take the ugliness of a low-performing yet historic institution and to put it back together again. lincoln High School (lHS) is broken. test scores are at a record low; and, community participation at one time very normative is now sporadic at best. perhaps worst of all, lHS students lack school pride while their teachers’ morale also shows signs of sig-

Returning to lincoln High School after one year as an associate principal at the exemplary, irma lerma Rangel Young women’s leadership School, Ms. leslie Swann is the newly appointed head principal at lincoln High School. the first and only woman to be selected to this position, Ms. Swann worked

longer lives. the convention is asking each of its 10,000 member churches to appoint a “health ambassador” in each of their churches. the job of the health ambassador will be to get members to change the types and amounts of foods that they eat, according to church officials and ministers who are familiar with the program. the campaign will suggest to church ministers that they tell their members to eliminate as many fat and greasy foods from their diets and replace them will leafy green vegetables, fruits, baked goods and even nutritional supplements. “this is something that we should have done a long time ago,” said Reverend James l. carter, the Senior pastor the ark church in Baltimore Maryland and a long time member of the National Baptist convention. “there is a direct relationship between what

we place in our bodies and the number of years that we are able to remain on this earth,” he said. pastor carter, a proponent of “quality foods” said that he encourages his members, including children to eat right and to take supplements that supply nutrients that are missing in the foods that people eat. “we eat because we want our bodies to stay healthy,” he said. “we do not eat because we want to get fat or full. there is a direction relationship between what we consume and the number of years that we remain on this earth.” the guiding force behind the National Baptist movement is Reverend Michael o. Minor, the pastor of the oak Hill Baptist church in North Mississippi. For nearly a decade the pastor has preached against obesity and bad health. each church in the convention should have a health minister in place no later than September of this year, said Reverend George w. waddles Sr. the president of the convention’s congress of christian education. Some convention pastors say that they are considering becoming vegetarians and giving up read met altogether, church officials said.

HardTimes 2nd Timothy 3:1-17

”But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parhenry Nelson ents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone. Paul’s Charge to Timothy You, however,

know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.“ Amen!

ou have probably heard the old joke about the fellow who was told, “cheer up. things could be worse.” So he said, “i did as i was told. i cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.” that in a nutshell is the message of 2nd timothy. the apostle paul, writing from a prison cell in Rome, knowing that his own death was at hand, warns his young protégé timothy of difficult days to come. although he never loses

his faith in God, it is clear that the aged apostle was deeply concerned about the trends he saw all around him. Hard times were coming; days of stress were just around the corner. if a man was not ready, if he didn’t brace himself in advance, he might be washed away when things got really hot. 2nd timothy 3:1 is really the key to this whole chapter. “But mark this: there will be terrible times in the last days.” two questions come to mind. First, what does paul mean by the expression, “last days?” that phrase has at least three meanings. it can apply to the entire period between the first and second comings of christ. Since christ could have come at any time, the entire church age can be called the “last days.” it also applies to unique periods of spiritual testing that occur at different times in different places. Finally, it obviously applies to the last few weeks and months and years preceding our lord’s return to the earth. i find it helpful to think in terms of labor pains. a pregnant woman knows when she is about to give birth by the frequency and severity of her labor pains. in the same way, the various things that paul lists in the first few verses of 2nd timothy 3 will always be present in some form, but will increase dramatically near the end of the age. are we in the “last days?” No matter how you define it, the answer is yes. and we may indeed be living in the final days before the return of christ to the earth.

C ity B eat Second, what will the “last days” be like? the word translated “terrible” occurs only here and one other place in the New testament. in its other occurrence, it refers to the two violent men who were possessed by demons in the region of Gadara (Matthew 8:28). they were wild, uncontrollable men who lived among the tombs. the particular Greek word used to describe them is also used in 2nd timothy 3:1. the “last days” will be fierce, violent, dangerous and frightening. Here is another word you could use: in the last days, savage times will come as men cast off all moral restraint and society begins to disintegrate So paul warns timothy, “after i am gone, things are going to get worse before they get better. Buckle up, timothy. terrible times are coming.” that is why paul said, “Mark this,” or “Understand this,” or “pay attention to this.” Do not be naïve and think that everything is going to be okay. it is not all going to be okay. But forewarned is forearmed. if you know what is going to happen, you will not be surprised when it does. If you would like the rest of the message, please contact me at: revelations_75044@msn.com

ESTABLISHED IN 1960

Swann.....continued from front cover at lincoln H.S. as the associate principal of the Humanities/communications Magnet, a total of 6 years as a tiger. During her tenure as associate principal, her accomplishments included piloting the principal’s academic leadership organization (palo) and sponsoring an off-site, trust building and team building retreat for lHS faculty. to further increase school pride, Ms. Swann initiated tiger Days where lHS students had opportunities to spotlight their achievements, introducing middle school students to the historic institution. Successful at networking to enhance the lHS experience, Ms. Swann also created partnerships throughout DiSD and the business community to ensure lHS students had access to multiple levels of mentorship and support. in everything she did to serve lincoln, Ms. Swann also made sure to honor the accomplishments of her students and the faculty as well as staff. each person knew their value in contributing to the success of lincoln High School; and, Ms. Swann’s enthusiastic and affirming responses made her that much more of an effective, instructional leader. in fact, her qualities of integrity and commitment fuel her passion to serve; and, Ms. Swann returns to her lincoln family with her characteristic determination and distinguished record in order to serve all students, parents, alumni and community members. Just as important, Ms. Swann

comes back to lHS with a firm foundation based on continuing the legendary principalship of past leaders such as the late, Dr. Napoleon B. lewis along with the guidance of former principals, such as Mr. earl a. Jones. Unlike yester years when lincoln students thrived under the campus instructional leadership of Dr. Napoleon B. lewis and Mr. earl a Jones, the legacy of lincoln now suffers from extreme dysfunction. in fact, during her interview for the position, several panel members questioned Swann’s decision to pursue the head principalship given the deplorable state of affairs currently plaguing the school. Her answers revealed a resolve to persevere despite all the broken pieces. in her responses, for example, Swann reminisced about the glory days of the institution, recalling national spotlights on lincoln’s high academic achievement in magazines such as the Red Book, international focus from newspapers like the U.S. News & world Report, and mass/television media such as Good Morning america. However, Ms. Swann’s answers were not simply references to lincoln’s impressive record of past achievements. when the panel asked Ms. Swann how she would define her personal contributions to the legendary leadership of lincoln High School, her response was equally as compelling as her answers to questions about lincoln’s historic rele-

vance. Swann does not see her selection as campus instructional leader as a form of competition between the preceding male principals and her role. instead she envisions opportunities to help every student who enters her building to graduate with a college acceptance letter in hand or a job waiting for them. Striving for this ambitious outcome, leslie Swann will not allow her faculty, staff or students to settle for just possible, theoretical college readiness or workforce readiness. Rather, Swann’s ambitious student outcomes of real jobs or confirmed college admissions mean that student achievement, parental involvement, community support, alumni contributions, educational-business partnerships, entrepreneurial mentorship and corporate internships will all have to reach unprecedented highs at lHS. in other words, the legacy of lincoln High School will have to set even higher standards and raising the bar of excellence and service are the only ways to this expected end. in sum, leslie Swann has prepared herself to erase the ugliness of this low-performing school so that it returns to its roots and fulfills its destiny at an even greater level—that beautiful and vibrant institution that historically has been and always should be a saving grace for the children, families, and neighborhoods in South Dallas. and, this Swann will accept no other ending.

elite NewS StaFF wRiteR

hat does “yes” mean to you? to many it is a positive affirmation, well for 5 boys ages 8 through 9 it means something totally different. it means being a member of Young educated Scholars. YeS was started by elementary school teacher, christina tyous (a a wife and a mother of four boys, a certified elementary school teacher for over ten years, a soccer coach for the DeSoto Soccer league as well as a board member, a coach for her youngest son team called the lil’ Bits, and atten-

Grace International Seminary

dends oak cliff Bible Fellowship where she is a praise ministry) who wanted to find an interesting way of getting her son and nephew to read during the summer of 2010. Her nephew, Silas, got an extra copy of the first book in the Diary of a wimpy Kid series for his birthday; so he decided to give the book to my son, Miles. “i thought it would be good to get them together to share their thoughts on the book and knew of a former student who could add another perspective, ” said christina tyous. thus YeS was started in June 2010 with a total of 4 members and now the membership consit of 5 members (Miles tyous, Silas Sandles, Marvin Mitchell, Kevin Garrett Jr., terran Blackwell) and Board members are paula Garrett, Rosa Sandles, Votika Mitchell, carla lacy, christina tyous. YeS is an all male book club that meets once a month to discuss assigned books; during the meetings the discussions are based on reading strategies in order to encourage comprehension as well as fluency. within the first year the boys have read a total of 11 books which

include the Diary of a wimpy Kid series, Go long, the Big Nate series and recently started the will Solvit series. the meetings are hosted by a book club Mom who provides snacks and an ice breaker based on the book. each member is expected to complete the book and any assignments prior to the meeting held that month. Due to wanting YeS to be more than a book club the book club Moms encourage being a gentleman and active in their community. to ensure the direction of YeS bylaws were enacted as well as a board was established; the board is made up of tyous, Rosa Sandles and paula Garrett. “encouraging comprehension leads to better problem solving skills which allow them to make more selective decisions.” says Rosa Sandles. the slogan for YeS is “Greater, Better, Smarter, Different” and the goal is “Gentlemen in training”. in order to ensure that the boys follow the slogan and goal of YeS the book club Moms continuously remind them at the meetings and reinforce at home. “this is a great way for each of the members to mentor each other, instead of exhibiting poor behavior

they do their best to live up to our goal as well as slogan,” says paula Garrett. YeS held its first garage sale on august 6, 2011 and with the proceeds were able to buy all the school supplies for two children as well as toiletries for clients in the SaFpF 4c drug court. if you would like more information you can contact YeS book club at yesbookclub@gmail.com and “like” us on Face book at YeS Book club (Young educated Scholars) or call christina tyous at 214-577-1892.

Out of the Eyes of a Layman Did Martin Luther King Die Invain?

was driving along in my car today, and the radio station played MlK’s “i have a Dream speech”. i almost cried Gene Turner as i did while looking at the march on washington the day that he made it at the capitol Monument. King was a great man, and God truly dealt with him while he was on this earth. King was really talking about more than just freedom in his speech. if you recall he talked about Blacks not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Not all Blacks, but too many of us have let the work and suffering of Dr. King blow away with the wind. Black character meant something once upon a time, but those times are gone and done away with in this day and time. in those days even drunks had respect for God’s church and God’s people. i remember when i was just a lad in Honey Grove, texas when a drunk and his buddy would approach a church, one would say to the other “man let’s straighten up because we are going by the cHURcH HoUSe”, or man stop cursing don’t you see those woman, or don’t you see those church people, or don’t you see those grown people, or don’t you see that preacher. that’s the way it was we had respect for one another, and especially for older people. to show you how much respect we have for our own churches, we not only disrespect them, but we will break into them and steal microphones and what ever else that is not nailed down. we don’t want to work for a living any more, we want to take short cuts to life by stealing, robbing, selling drugs that poisons the mind of our neighbors causing lives to be cut short, where Black potentials never reach the point of God’s original plan for each of us. i am talking about the character Dr. King was speaking of at washington. Dr. King never would have dreamed that one-day He would see our young Black boys and men walking around with the crotch of their pants hanging between their knees and their ankles. it is pitiful how we allow our kids to dress in the present of society. these kids live with their parents somewhere. why a parent would tolerate these issues is beyond me. “So you look, so you think.” our dropout rate has doubled since the hip-hop claimed age developed. we don’t want to go to school; we don’t want

www.dfwelitenews.com

to learn nothing about maturing to God’s promise to us. we don’t want to do anything that is worthwhile, we don’t want to open businesses because that will take away too much of our boogie time. For the life of me i do not understand it. i’ve been Black for over 70 plus years and i find myself not being able to understand another Black in this generation. that’s very funny, one Black can’t understand another Black. God made the Neutron Star before creation, and Neutron stars do not blow-up and destroy themselves, they destroy themselves by emploding, which means that they destroy themselves from within, the emplode instead of exploding. that’s what we do, we emplode, we destroy ourselves and our character from within. we as Black people do not think in terms of owning grocery stores, neighborhood stores, small and large shopping centers, hotels, clothing stores, etc. we never get to that point because we are too busy emploding before we can get to this point. other cultures do it, and most of them just got to this country and come right into our neighborhood and buy convience stores that we could have gotten, but you know what we say? they don’t want Black people owning nothing. as Booker t. washington would put this if he were still alive, he would say that’s a cop out. any five (5) Blacks could come together and put up anything they want. it does not look as though this Black nation will ever get it together. i hope we do, i hope i’ll be able to look down from heaven one day, a 100 years from now and say, we finally got it together.” Remember Black people, it all starts with what MlK included in his speech, the content of character.” without character we will become a limb lying in the middle of a log wagon trail. we will get run over by much larger logs that was once a limb. Now, they are on their way to a much higher call. let us not forget to read our Bibles. May God bless you real good, and may He ever keep you in His loving care. layman and activities please call Gene Turner at 214-228-9470

Advice Column: Ask Dr. Hollie Create Within Me a Clean Heart

e know we are sinful and need God’s forgiveness. as christians we believe Jesus christ died on the cross so that we might be forgiven. and yet, how often are we really asking not for Geraldine forgiveness but Davidson-hooker for God to overlook our sins so that we can continue doing them? Forgiveness comes to those who truly repent. to repent of sin means we sincerely desire never to do that again. But do we really want to be cleansed of that habit, attitude or behavior we know is not in harmony with God’s perfect will? we may find that we enjoy our pet sins and don’t want God to cleanse us of them. we want to be “forgiven” while we continue to indulge in them. Do you want to be made pure? then allow God to remove those things you may have come to depend on or enjoy, but which are contrary to His perfect will for your life. what is there in your life you want God to forgive, but you are not willing to give up? the first step toward forgiveness is to confess that from which you are not yet willing to let God cleanse you. that takes courage and honesty. then ask Him to help you let go of it

Notes From Union Hope

ur church school lesson was “empowering the Needy” Ruth 2:8-18. this was a continuation of life changing experience of last week’s personality, Ruth. Ruth eld lloyd T. Morgan chose to return to Bethlehem with her mother in law Naomi and to care for her. Ruth had a loving and kind heart to take on this responsibility in a strange land for a woman she had no obligation to but love. as we studied the lesson we were made to wonder what would happen in this same situation today, how many young women would put their life on hold for someone that could be called ex-mother in law. Because she had such a big and kind heart God showed favor to her by leading her to a field to work in that was owned by a near kinsman to Naomi. when we place the good of others over our own God takes notice of that and

often bless us in some special way. God gave Ruth favor in the eyes of Boaz and he asked her not to go glean in any other field, and instructed his labors to make sure that she had plenty grain to gather. this was God working through Boaz to further the plans he had for Ruth. our morning message was delivered by pastor lloyd Morgan from the subject “Stay focused” Heb.12:2. with all that is happening around us and in the world we must not lose our focus of whose we are and began to despair as if we have no help. the stock market may be up and down, jobs may be in short supply, but our God’s economy is always good. believer only become fearful of what is happing when we lose our focus on christ. we must not come to church simply “to get our needs met” we must come to worship the God who is greater than any need. Be blessed

et’s consider our attitude or position in prayer, by comparing our practice with that of the religious people of Jesus day. there were rules about looking towards Pastor Clarence henderson the temples or the idols which represented God. there were holy rugs upon which to stand or kneel. Sometimes the religious person would “lift up holy hands” at other times fold the hands. often would be prostrated on the ground, or in a kneeling position, with the palms of the hands on a rug with the forehead touching the ground before each position. christ placed little or no emphasis on these outward physical manifestations in prayer, but he was deeply concerned about the attitude of the heart.

BarBerShOP talk home. while looking at the cowboys and other games at Jerry’s world dawned on me that Jerry left his home field advanwith leON SiMON tage initirving.

erry Jones might have built the greatest stadium in america. Knowing Jerry it will probably be the most used stadium in america, too. Jerry will definitely make it earn its keep. Some of the most recognized leon simon stadiums are not the most beautiful or the largest. Most are recognized for their contribution to their team’s success, “HoMe FielD aDVaNtaGe”. the Giants and Jets would supposedly open the north end of the stadium, and the swirling wind would enter and intimidate quarterbacks that didn’t have the strongest of arms. RFK in washington would let the grass grow and wet it down to slow the faster teams down. cleveland had the Dog pound. they had their toughest fans in one end zone making it very difficult on opposing teams to function efficiently in that area. Green Bay and Buffalo would put the fans right on top of the players and intimidate that way. and if that didn’t work, the drop in temperature would definitely get it done. as innocent as it may sound the Seattle Sea Hawks are in the most distant corner in the country. For everybody but the west coast teams you have jet lag problems playing them at

texas Stadium had a very decided advantage for the home team. the field had a crown in the middle. it had a turtle shape, high in the middle and down on the sidelines and end zone. i believe that’s why the cowboy’s did very well with their strong arm guys Staubach and aikman. Not so well with the guys that didn’t throw as hard like Danny white. the difficulty on deep outs the ball would sail over the receivers’ head, of course in the end zone the ball came down to the receiver and thus not that big of a problem. the thing that really distinguished those strong arm boys was their ability to throw the 20yd deep ins and outs. the John elways, the phil Sims and the Brett Favre types. Very few occasions did first time appearances end in victory for Quarterbacks; good or great ones. Brett Favre hated to play at texas Stadium to the extinct that it became a montra for the packers. they had to get Dallas out of texas Stadium to have a chance. the Bulls and the Detroit pistons knew they couldn’t beat the celtics in a seventh game at the Boston Garden. the fans were not the issue at texas Stadium it was the crown of the field. i have no idea how much money or trouble it would cost, get your crown back Jerry. Question is: can Romo get used to it ?

Changes fall into three basic categories: Route modifications, including making current detours permanent, on the 110, 205, 234, 310, 415, 486, 525, 532 and 535. Service and schedule adjustments on routes, including the 021, 521, 538, 541 and 542. Sunday service reductions targeting low-performing routes on the 513 and 840-Flex. More detailed information is available at www.DART.org or by calling 214.979.1111.
