Brother-to-Brother discussion gives birth to party with a purpose
T
By Cheryl Smith
alk about inspiring! Sit down with these two educated, talented,loving men and you are sure to leave the conversation with ideas about how to, if not save the world, at least leave it better than you found it. John Haigler and Bill Keyes are turning 50 this year and they decided to do something big. Sure they thought about having a party. When you work as hard as they do, why not? And just because you’re turning half a century does not mean that you don’t still have some moves on the dance floor. So the two began brainstorming and the result is bigger than they could have ever imagined because others are embracing their ideas. Now with three days of activities planned, the last weekend in October is expected to reach epic proportions for numerous reasons. When John and Bill began planning activities the first thing they did was “put some skin in the game.” “We sincerely wanted to begin our fifth decade of life with a set of signature events in support of four worthy charities that all have personal meaning to us,” said Keyes, adding that, “John and I are paying for the party and individually donating $2,500 in addition to what is being spent on all the events.”
John said he wanted to be tributes UTSW with saving his part of something big. “It’s wife’s life. He says she went not every day that two black through chemotherapy and 33 men come together and say rounds of radiation, and an inthey want to do something tense but supportive process. like this.

oldest of three boys raised by a single mom and the other aware of what happens when those who are in better positions don’t give back; it’s inspiring to hear them talk about filling the void and lifting as they climb. “Bill and I are extremely blessed,” he explained. “And we’re both passionate about reaching our $100,000 goal.” Having a quality education is very important to the two. Both college graduates, it was an obvious choice to choose educational organizations as beneficiaries. The Pro Duffers were already supporters of Dallas’ only HBCU, Paul Quinn College, but when you add in this 50th Birthday Celebration, the stakes have been raised significantly. The Pro Duffers adopted the school and through its inaugural fund they awarded 25, $1000 scholarships and recognized one of their members, Dan Mask, a 1963 graduate of Paul Quinn, who died last year. Then too, John’s wife is a graduate of an HBCU, Prairie View A&M University. And the last beneficiary, housed at that historic address of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Sunny South Dallas, is a school both men are familiar with because of the way students are nurtured and an environment conducive to learning is fostered, St. Philips’ School and Community
Center, where Bill’s son attends. And the giving keeps happening as they join with the Pro Duffers organization to honor another organization with an impressive history of giving, the Mid-Cities Chapter of Links Inc. will receive the 2017 Community Service Award. So the kickoff is the Thursday reception. On Friday Bill and John say it’s time to let your hair down. First there’s the golf tournament and later that night is the Old School All Black Party at the Sheraton Four Points at DFW North. Then on Saturday, there’s the Black Tie Gala. You can’t help but want the activities to be a success when you consider all who will benefit. All I could think about after talking to these “brothers”, was how can we help them celebrate? What can we give to them for their birthdays. They’re humble, meticulous, committed and passionate. They are businessmen, family men and community-minded. More importantly, they care. They are doing instead of talking about doing or talking about others who are doing. They are the role models we need to be highlighting. It’s simple, according to this truly dynamic duo. Support the events. Spread the word. To purchase your tickets for each event, go to www.HaiglerKeyes50th.com and use keywords: (Pro-Duffers SW).
Message to Jones, “Slavery is over” By Betheny Sargent Texas Metro News
Monday October 16, 2017 Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, Sr. Pastor of Friendship West Baptist Church and other notable Black alliances gathered together in front the Dallas Police Headquarters. The message was pure, simple and straight to the point, “We will not be silenced while others sit and stand by idly.” Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner has made less than supportive remarks about the players of the NFL and how he will not tolerate players being involved in politics,
specifically utilizing the game time to demonstrate their stance on police brutality. Last year former NFL star Collin Kaepernick, demonstrated his frustration with police brutality with a peaceful protest during game time by kneeling during the National Anthem. Since then Kaepernick has been blackballed from the NFL. Some players were not okay with this and have vocally expressed their disapproval of Kaepernicks’ silent protest on social media; while others in various sports have also kneeled. Over the past few months spec-
ulation of collusion between NFL owners and President Donald Trump has sparked fury and rage in the black communities across the country Dallas Cowboys and now Jones owner has been addJerry Jones ed to the list of colluders as well. Several members of Black Dallas Communities addressed the media and talked of a protest to speak out about Jones’
comments and illustrate solidarity with Collin Kaeperick and anyone else who exercised their First Amendment rights. “I’m boycotting the NFL this season, I started in September,” said Pastor Haynes, who was one of several members of the clergy in attendance. “I took offense to Jerry Jones’ ‘We stand or we won’t play’ statement because it was offensive to what America is supposed to be about. We are hoping this gets to him (Jerry Jones). “He violated what America is all about.” Pastor Haynes said he has been a long standing Cowboys fan for a
while, when asked about his patronage of the team; he admitted that due to the comment, the Cowboy’s team has been taken away from him. “We are waiting on a response from Jerry Jones before we make our next move.” Other speakers including retired educator Shirley Ison-Newsome, veteran Ernest Walker and Next Generation Action Network’s Min. Dominique Alexander spoke of their frustration over the mandate handed down by Jones.Their messages were similar to Pastor Haynes as they expressed their feelings about a “plantation mentality.” www.texasmetronews.com

Hall Seasoned news-anchor Anderson Cooper and the premier mega-cable conglomerate CNN, hosted a one hour, no-commercial “Cry-aThon.� Anderson; and I feel like I’m on a first name basis with him, confronted a decade’s long, national illness. In the early 1960’s Dr. Martin Luther King decried that the problem with the Negro was that he had a 10-day memory. Wait 10 days and you could violate him again with impunity. Sadly, that can be said of most Americans. Anderson conducted a brief bio/vacuum sealed vitae on all 58 murder victims of the Las Vegas Massacre. It gave so much dignity and weight to the lives that were stolen. Our repetitive, ritualistic, 24 hours news cycle along with our inability to entertain thoughts more than 10 days old, made this 60-minute cortege an honorable heirloom for the families, loved ones and for those who see humanity through the prism of unity.

Child Marriage: Problems Resulting from Child Marriage By Earnestine Gardner Special to Texas Metro News
PART 2 in a series Over all, child marriage is a detriment to all of the aspects of a young girl’s life, particularly her health, including life itself, her education, and right to employment and self- sufficiency. They also suffer from abandonment from their peers and often spouses, particularly abandonment because of the medical condition obstetric fistulae. According to the UN, no girl should be robbed of her childhood, her health and education, and her aspirations. Yet today millions of girls are denied their rights each year when they are married as children. Child marriage is increasingly recognized as violation of the rights of girls for the following reasons by the UN: it effectively ends their education; blocks any opportunity to gain vocational and life skills; exposes them to the risks of too-early pregnancy, childbearing, and motherhood
October is National Domestic Violence Month. During this month we chose to highlight the issue of the violence inherent in child marriages, in four installments to educate the public about the abuse young victims are subjected to globally. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama launched “Let Girls Learn” in March 2015. The initiative brings together the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Peace Corps, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), as well as the U.S. President’s Emergency Funds for AIDS relief (PEPFAR) to address the range of challenges preventing adolescent girls from attaining a quality education which will empower them to reach their full potential. Child marriage is a major deterrent to girls receiving an education globally. “Let Girls Learn” focuses specifically on growing educational opportunities for teen girls in developing countries. before they are physically and psychologically ready; and increases their risk of intimate partner sexual violence and HIV infection. Yet according to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 140 million girls will marry between 2011 and 2020 and of the 140 million girls who marry before they are 18, 50
million will be under the age of 15. Despite the physical damage and the persistent discrimination to young girls, WHO reports that little progress has been made toward ending the practice of child marriage, citing that the problem threatens to increase with the expanding youth population in the developing world. If current levels of child marriage hold, they predict, 14.2 million girls annually or 39,000 daily will marry too young. And if the issue is not properly addressed, UN Millennium Development Goals ( M D G s ) 4 and 5 – calling for a threefourths reduction in maternal mortality and a twothirds reduction in child deaths by 2015—will not be met. Some of

the health problems associated with child marriage include, obstetric fistulae, premature births, still birth and high infant mortality, as well as high maternal mortality rates, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, such as cervical cancer and HIV/AIDS, and mental health issues such as depression , and post- traumatic stress disorder due to sexual and partner violence and abuse. Their babies are also more vulnerable to complications associated with premature labor as well as HIV/ AIDS, according to WHO. Complications from pregnancy and childbirth are the leading causes of death for girls 15 – 19 years of age in developing countries. Of the 16 million adolescent girls who give birth every year, about 90% are already married, according to the UN. UNICEF estimates some 50,000 die, almost all in low and middle income countries. Still births and new born deaths are 50% higher among mothers under 20 than in women who get pregnant in their 20s. In many poor countries, such as with the Hausa people in rural Nigeria, most young girls, regardless of age, are forced to demonstrate their fertility once they are married. These children are discouraged from using contraceptives or might have to ask their husband’s permission, according to the WHO report; or they may have no knowledge of or access to what they need. Loss of girlhood and health problems related to early pregnancy are not the only hazards confronting child brides. Violence is also common in child marriages. “It marks an abrupt and often violent introduction to sexual relations,” says Claudia Garcia Moreno, M.D., of WHO, a leading expert in violence against women. “The young girls are powerless to refuse sex and lack the resources or legal and social support to leave an abusive marriage.” According to UN studies, even though some parents believe early marriage will protect their daughters from sexual violence (rape), the reverse is often true. Young girls who marry before the age of 18 have a greater risk of becoming victims of intimate partner violence than those who marry at an older age. When the age gap between the child bride and spouse is large, such as between the victims eight year old Rawan, in Yemen and, nine year old Yemira Aisha, and 13 year of Hamila in Nigeria, this is especially true. www.texasmetronews.com

Get ready Dallas, for the bond election
In coming weeks, Dallas citizens will vote on a City of Dallas capital bond program with 10 propositions totaling $1.05 billion – for streets, libraries, parks, infrastructure and more in critical need of improvement, expansion and/or replacement – that does not require a property tax rate increase. “Dallas has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, and with that good fortune comes an obligation to invest into critical resources like our parks and libraries and address crucial maintenance and infrastructure needs,” said former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk. With the election a month away, the Dallas Bond Campaign has now launched its get-out-the-vote effort with details at dallasbondcampaign. com where voters can request a yard sign or speaker, find early voting locations, endorse and more. The election is Tuesday, Nov. 7, and early voting runs Oct. 23-Nov. 3. More than 50 percent of the bond program is devoted to city streets and transportation-related improvements. The balance provides for new and improved city parks and recreation centers, libraries and public-safety facilities; enhanced flood protection; badly needed repairs to buildings at historic Fair Park, performing arts and city facilities; expanded homeless assistance facilities; and economic development projects related to new neighborhoods and retail areas. “This comprehensive bond program will greatly improve the quality of life in Dallas and the economic vibrancy of our city,” said Dale Petroskey, CEO of the Dallas Regional Chamber. “We strongly encourage voters to vote yes for all 10 propositions of the bond program, which importantly will not require a property tax rate increase.” The 10 propositions are as follows: Proposition A for $534 million to improve city streets and transportation; Proposition B for $262 million to create, improve and expand city parks and recreation facilities, including www.texasmetronews.com
Klyde Warren Park and new parks across Dallas; Proposition C for $50 million for crucial renovations and improvements to existing buildings at Fair Park; Proposition D for $49 million to improve and expand flood protection and storm drainage facilities; Proposition E for $16 million to replace and repair library facilities and construct a new library; Proposition F for $14 million for repairing and improving cultural and performing arts facilities; Proposition G for $32 million for repairing, improving and constructing new fire and police facilities; Proposition H for $18 million to repair and improve City Hall and other city facilities; Proposition I for $55 million for economic development projects across the city; and Proposition J for $20 million to improve and expand homeless assistance facilities. Determining the bond program was a long and comprehensive process that began in May 2016 when the City Council was briefed on the City’s infrastructure needs. In October 2016, the City held 31 public input meetings across the City. Using this input, the City Council created the Citizens Bond Task Force to assist the City Manager and City Council to review and select projects for the 2017 Capital Bond Program. The City Council reviewed their recommendations June 2016 and made modifications to the proposed package. On Aug. 9, 2017, the City Council adopted the $1.05 billion bond program and ordered the election for Nov. 7, 2017. “I strongly encourage voters to support all ten propositions of the bond program, which will not require a property tax rate increase. This bond will fund crucial city programs, including but not limited to streets, parks, libraries, flood protection and repairs to performing arts facilities, that benefit all members of our community,” said State Representative Rafael Anchia.
My man is cheating on me
Dear Alma,
Around six months ago, I started to see clues that something was going on with my husband. I started going through his wallet and cell phone because I thought he was having an affair. I was right. I almost fainted when I found a phone in the trunk of the car with pictures of him and another woman. All of the calls were to the same number, which made me believe it was her number. I hit the button and she answered the phone. When she said hello, I hung up. I put the phone back and didn’t tell him. I love him and am trying to keep my marriage. He hasn’t said anything about my phone call. Do you think I should mention it? My ego is just about gone and all I want to do is stay in bed. I wish I had not looked in the trunk. I do not know if I should stay or
Ask ALMA
go or why I’m confused on what to do. Name withheld, Durham, N.C.
My question to you is, why did you go searching for what you weren’t ready to find? Should you mention it, you asked. Really? Dear name withheld, You’re not confused sweetheart, you’re heartbroken. You’re dejected, sad and depressed. Your husband is having an affair and
you don’t want to confront him because you’re scared he might leave you. Let that truth simmer for a minute, then drop it. If not addressing it is an option, learn to live with it. My question to you is, why did you go searching for what you weren’t ready to find? Should you mention it, you asked. Really? If you need me to answer you Sweetie, continue to entertain that rubber ducky in your dirty bath water. Email me back when you’re ready to pull the plug and do something about it. Let me know when you’re ready to clean up your mess, redress your problems and restore your self-worth. That’s when I’ll have amazing, life affirming advice to share. Honestly, if I took the time to answer you, you wouldn’t hear me. Cause truth-be-told, right now, on this day, you love him more than you love yourself. Alma

Proposition B:
SECTION 4. That the city intends to issue the bonds authorized by the propositions, if approved, over a period of years in a manner and in accordance with a schedule to be determined by the city council based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the then-current needs of the city, demographic changes, prevailing market conditions, assessed valuations in the city, the use of variable rate debt, and management of the city’s short-term and long-term interest rate exposure. Market conditions, demographics, and assessed valuations vary based upon a number of factors beyond the city’s control, and the use of variable rate debt involves periodic adjustments in interest rates that vary based on market conditions and contractual obligations. Market conditions are calculated as they existed on or about the date of this ordinance’s passage. Therefore, the city cannot, and does not, guarantee a particular interest rate or tax rate associated with the bonds authorized by the propositions. As such, the information contained in this ordinance is provided solely for illustrative purposes and does not establish any limitations or restrictions or create a contract with the voters. The city currently estimates that, if the propositions are approved and the bonds proposed herein are authorized and issued in accordance with the city’s current project plan of finance, the maximum interest rate of the bonds is not expected to exceed 5.00%. SECTION 5. That electronic and computerized voting systems must be used for voting on the bond election date in compliance with the Texas Election Code, as amended, and the vote must be upon an official ballot submitting the propositions in substantially the following form, so as to permit voters to vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the propositions: CITY OF DALLAS - PROPOSITION A THE ISSUANCE OF $533,981,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR STREET AND TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS, THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF REPAYMENT, INCLUDING PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST BASED ON CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS BEING $724,650,750.
