Dear Don’t, Since you have already rekindled this relationship, obviously, you want to stay involved with her. But by no means are you obligated to share with her what her husband shared with your husband. After all, you don’t really know what her husband’s intentions are. If it does end up being true, now is when she needs a friend, or acquaintance, as you call yourself, to talk to.

Well, the last time I spoke with her, we had a nice little chat; but when her husband relayed some of our conversation to my husband, I didn’t like it, mostly because she was putting words in my mouth. I was very upset and had made up my mind not to speak to her again. Then my husband told me that her husband was planning on leaving her because they weren’t getting along, and he wants out before they have any children. Is it cruel for me to ditch her as well?

National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Lakeside Riders Buffalo Soldiers hosts First of Four Camp Outs

Fort Worth Connection By Gloria Reed Austin

Co-Founder & Executive Director National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum gaustin@ cowboysofcolor.org

On Saturday, October 6, 2013, Boy Scout Troop 558 from Mount Olive Baptist Church Arlington, chaperoned by Scoutmaster Ron Wilson attended the first of four camp outs that the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum (NMWHM) and the Lakeside Riders Buffalo Soldiers will host as a part of the museum’s Camp Buffalo Soldier Youth Program. The camping adventures take place at the museum’s outdoor learning center and community garden location (3534 E. Berry Street) in Fort Worth. Activities included pitching tents and sleeping under the stars; reviewing camping safety skills, fishing certification, arts and crafts; storytelling around the camp fire, and mentoring sessions, just to name a few of the wholesome activities the youth enjoyed. Lakeside Riders founder Rosieleetta “Lee” Reed (who is also the First Vice President of the Texas Buffalo Soldiers Association) facilitated the camping experience. The project entitled “Camp Buffalo Soldier Youth Program” will provide a safe and positive environment for a weekend of learning and fun! Scoutmaster Wilson stated Troop 558 thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from learning about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and bringing those history lessons to life at the camp out, and encourages other Scout Troops to attend. Mr. Wilson also encourages adults to consider volunteering as leaders in Scouting as there are many youth who would like to join a group, but until additional Troop Leaders can be added they will have to remain on a waiting list. We know that one person can make a positive impact in the life of a youth, so please join the volunteer effort to establish more Scouting Troops in your community today!! For additional information you may email Ron Wilson directly at bbfund@charter.net. Future dates for the Camp Buffalo

Parents: You Can Make a Difference in Your Child’s Success Lew Blackburn Dallas ISD Trustee District 5

Life gets busy with work, family and other commitments. We feel pulled first in one direction, then another. As parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, however, we know that the first priority is always the children. For caring parents and extended families, making sure that each child is prepared to meet the many challenges the future holds begins at the local school, where they are joined by dedicated and effective teachers, principals, other Dallas ISD staff and community volunteers who want the best for every child. To stress the importance of education, many Dallas ISD parents volunteer at their children’s schools, attend PTA meetings, organize fundraisers, and carry out countless other tasks that are welcome and appreciated by the district and the schools. Not all parents can give of their time at that level, but

ensuring their children understand how important education is to their future is the most important of all contributions. For this reason, the Dallas ISD is asking parents to ensure their children’s success in school by focusing on three things: • Make sure your children get to school on time, every day. • Make sure your children do their homework. • Make sure your children read at home every night. These are the components of what the district calls the “ART of Success.” Setting a routine so that, even when the parent is not at home, the children know when it’s time for homework and reading leads to success. Designating a small table or quiet corner for studies also shows children how important learning is. Another way parents can help their children be successful is by keeping in touch with the teacher. The Dallas ISD has several ways in which parents can do this, including the Parent Portal, which gives parents daily access to their child’s grades, assignments, and

attendance record. Attending parent conferences, held at least twice a year, is another way parents can help their children succeed. The conferences give parents an opportunity to meet one-on-one with their child’s teacher to discuss progress and ways in which learning can be reinforced at home. This fall’s parent conferences will be held Oct. 15 for high schools, Oct. 16 for middle schools, and Oct. 18 for elementary schools. Now, you also can keep up with your children’s schools and receive instant news from your phone by downloading the just released Dallas ISD SchoolConnect app for Android and Apple devices at www.dallasisd. org/mobileapp. The app offers access to the Parent Portal, lunch menus, calendars, school bus routes, and much more. In District 5 news: Our students need to experience learning as fun and rewarding. That’s the purpose of the District 5 Academic Pep Rallies for students, parents and teachers. The first rally is set for 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, October

7

20, at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, 525 Bonnie View Road. Students with As (90s) in math, English/ language arts, science and history/ social studies will be eligible to win gift cards. There also will be prizes for students with perfect attendance, and for parents and teachers. Students are asked to bring a book they have read recently. Those who give a summary of the book will be eligible for prizes. The rally will include entertainment by bands, cheerleading squads, and dancers from the District 5 schools. I want students and parents to realize that in order to be successful at school, students must be in class to take advantage of every learning opportunity so I will continue to award $100 gift cards to randomly selected Dallas ISD students who achieve perfect attendance. Four lucky students will be selected to receive the incentives at the end of every six-weeks grading period. Businesses or citizens who desire to make donations to encourage our students are asked to call my office at 972-925-3720, or reach me by email at lblackburn@dallasisd.org.

Bras for the Cause event Thursday By BRAD KELLAR Herald-Banner Staff

GREENVILLE — Dozens of the most unique bras anywhere will be on display in downtown Greenville this week, for an uplifting support of the battle against breast cancer. The 2012 Bras for the Cause will take place Thursday evening, and the public http://mail.aol.com/37058-111/aol-6/en-us/ mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=28983&fol der=Inbox&partId=4 will have a chance to vote on their favorites according to Janeen Cunningham with the Calico Cat, who along with Lana Dollgener and Lisa Hill are the chairs for this year’s event. “The bras will be on display here, at the Texan Theater and at Landon’s Winery,” Cunningham said. Proceeds from Bras for the Cause will benefit the Hunt Regional Healthcare Foundation, which provides supplies such as wigs and breast prostheses to local breast cancer patients in need. Those wanting to submit bras for judging can do so today and Wednesday, between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., at Landon’s, 2508 Lee Street. Details and guidelines on the contest are available at calicocatgreenville.com/bras. The judging will take place starting at 6 p.m. Thursday. “You can buy voting cards at any of the three locations,” Cunningham said. The cards come in denominations of $10, $20, $50 and $100 and chances are the cups won’t be half-full. “Last year there were $17,000 in votes cast,” Cunningham said.

Just a Bite with Lorie at Cornerstone L th p A so w ta a ta eat

This week’s Just a Bite was difficult for me. I had plans for a new area in Lorie Lorie Blair Fort Worth that had to be postponed. Then I had plans to cover the fair but nothing seemed to work… Sunday I decided to go to church for spiritual grounding. At first I was a little disappointed that my pastor, Rev William Dwight McKissic, had guest speakers. Was surprised to hear the there was a 4 day Kingdom Conference

and excited that Bishop Kenneth Ulmer from Faithful Central of Inglewood, CA was coming to speak. I knew this would be a treat if I could just get Just a Bite done. Well, Tuesday for some strange reason I announced to my husband that I was going back to church to catch Bishop Kenneth Ulmer preach. Now that I said it I felt compelled to go. There was an eclectic group speaking; Dr. R.T. Kendall originally from London, Dr. Charles Carrin from Boynton Beach, FL and then Bishop Kenneth Ulmer of Faithful Central of Inglewood, Ca. Ahhh the promise of a great meal. These three became a 3 course meal. Dr Kendell, Course

1 taught us the difference in seeing the Pigeon from the Dove; the Pigeon being the counterfeit and the Dove the actual Holy Spirit. They both seem to be the same but only one the Dove reigns down true blessing on us. Dr. Charles Carrin, Course 2, shared the power of prayer from those with a submissive heart for God and to believe in the word of God and God will hear our prayers. Course 3 Bishop Kenneth Ulmer and “A Kingdom Prophesy Isaiah 6:1-3, 43:1819 and Deuteronomy 11:10-11. He reminded us that God never makes a mistake. We should remember not to cling to what has already been done or we will miss

what God has for us tomorrow. What God has coming our way is better than what we have already been given. Bishop used the analogy that when we drive our car there are two different pieces of glass in front of us, the windshield and the rearview mirror. The large glass is a preview of what is to come and the small rearview mirror shows what we have had. If we look through both and see the same thing then we are on the wrong road. We need to go back and reevaluate if we are looking at the Pigeon or the Dove…. Hmmm…… If the single ladies have prayed for God to bless them with Mr. Right and find the same old same old then he reminded us

11

that we again are trusting in the Pigeon not the Dove. Finally, God is ready to do a new kind of thing in all of us and for all of us. That God is ready to Reign (not Rain) down His true blessings on us if we know him, pray to Him with a submissive heart and watch for his “NEW” blessings for all of us. Now this Just a Bite left me filled and full yet hungry for more. Maybe one more day and I will get my much needed desert without the unwanted calories.

blues singer can. Through song and strong stage presence they tell the struggles and history of the Southern Black community. In a way only they can share the joy and pain that we know through music. Al Wash was quoted in saying “that blues is known as the secular base of black music. It is the cornerstone that has rooted R&B and Hip Hop . It is the music that transcends race, culture and age. Everyone may want to claim this music as their own but on Saturday, October 20th at 8pm it will belong to the community and people of Fort Worth. It will be one more step in returning Black Entertainment to Fort Worth.” Tickets are still available through www. centralticketoffice.com You can charge by phone by calling 800-462-7979.

SPORTS WITH BILL BLAIR

Toliver’s Talents

By Mark A. Toliver II Elite News Staffwriter

There is no question that the quarterback is the most glamorous position on the football team. An offense must have a proficient player at the quarterback position. Lack of ability at the other offensive positions may be covered up, or compensated for, but if a team attempts to play with a quarterback who lacks the physical skills and mental abilities for the position, the weakness quickly will become evident to everyone. Many coaches, at all levels of football believe that the quarterback position requires a player with exceptional athletic skill. This is especially true if the quarterback is asked to direct a team in which he is asked to run the ball. Height and weight may vary considerably from one quarterback to another, but all successful quarterbacks have an inner strength in themselves. Each time they lead their offense out onto the field, the great quarterbacks truly believe they will move the ball and guide their team to victory. Along with determination, mental toughness, and physical skills, a quarterback must be a leader. Dallas -Fort Worth meet Mesquite’s quarterback Alex Cooper and Skyline ‘quarterback Devante Kincade. These two young gun-slingers are really proving they can play. This past weekend in a match up between the top teams in District 12-5A, Mesquite played host to Longview. Mesquite quarterback Alex Cooper showed why he is

considered one of the top signal callers in the state. Cooper continues to be super accurate, Cooper has completed 105-of-138 with only 1 interception on the season. Cooper finished the night 16-of-25 for 214 yards. Mesquite used five fumble recoveries to build a 23 point lead. Mesquite is 5-0 and looks to be a force going into the second have of the season. On the other side of town the Skyline Raiders were getting back on track with a big time win over Jesuit 56-24. Skyline capitalized on early mistake by Jesuit and scored 21 points a 1:16 spur late in the first half to break a 14-14 tie and pull away for good. Skyline QB Devante Kincade was 9-12-197 and 3 touchdown. Kincade showed his leadership ability by leading his team to victory after a surprise upset by Arlington Bowie. Both teams have great quarterbacks. And both quarterbacks have great teams. It all comes down to which quarterback can lead their team all the way. Football is a very strange sport, the season begins in the heat of the summer and the season ends in the cold of winter, it’s just a matter of which quarterback can get his team to follow them!!! Good luck QuarterbacksMay God Bless You and Help Us Change the World!!!!! Mark A Toliver II
