62 YEARS OF SERVING THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY

In Defense of Science

By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson On Saturday, April 22, 2017, thousands of Americans, in cities all across the U.S. will gather and participate in the March for Science – an idea and movement spurred by ordinary citizens alarmed by the growing efforts to discredit scientific understanding and restrict scientific discovery – often in the name of science.

I share their alarm and it is time that the public takes a stand.

Now more than ever, we need to safeguard scientific integrity, stand alongside our scientific community, and fight for robust investment in scientific research and development.

History tells us that bad actors will often try to undermine science to achieve ulterior motives.

Such was the case with tobacco and the link to lung cancer in the previous century.

As early as the 1940s, epidemiological studies linked cigarettes to the rise of the lung cancer epidemic, yet it took decades before government took definitive action on the evidence – a classic case of deny and delay.

By focusing on the miniscule margins of scientific dispute, profiteers in the tobacco industry corrupted public discourse and public policy by calling into question the validity of a growing body of science linking smoking with lung cancer.

The strategy worked, and the impact of deny and delay was real. Millions were dying but as late as 1960, only a third of U.S. doctors believed the case against cigarettes had been established.

In many ways we are seeing that same story play out again today.

Take the debate on climate change and global warming for example. Some policy makers continue to argue to wait for more ‘settled science’ to take action, ignoring the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change.

The debate on climate change is just another iteration of the same deny and delay tactic used to erase and rollback protections and policies aimed to defend our health, our environment, and our planet.

When thousands of Americans take to the streets this Saturday, I am hopeful that a powerful signal will be sent to policy makers at every level of government, countries around the world, and to the children of our future that we the people stand for

2

science, that we the people want to invest in science, and we the people want our laws and policies to reflect the best available science, not political distortions fueled by industry and ideological interests.

The U.S. scientific enterprise has and continues to revolutionize the world and the ways in which we interact with it. From the advent of modern medicine, to the innovation of flight, to the invention of the microchip right down the road at Texas Instruments - the very essence of science is a metaphor for progress – always evolving, always moving forward, always improving, and always asking what the next frontier is.

The application of science to policy should be non-partisan and non-political, yet the luxury of staying silent is long gone.

Every day, state and federal legislators are promoting laws that fly in the face of science and endanger both human life and the future of our world.

Here in our nation’s capital and the White House, there are efforts to cut back on research and innovation across federal agencies and to gut our environmental protections. Instead of moving forward, we are running backwards.

While I intend to work tirelessly to beat back the tide of anti-science efforts in the U.S. Congress, everyday citizens must take a stand and fight to ensure that their representatives and their government continue to make policy decisions based on sound science and make investments to ensure that the U.S. continues to be the global leader in scientific research, development, and innovation.

Let’s take a stand together and take part in this weekend’s March for Science here in Dallas and to take a stand for science.

Moreover, our actions should not end this weekend but we should continue our efforts to protect our health and environment by participating in future elections to hold our representatives accountable.

Repeal of Obamacare Is Back, and Seniors Risk Being the Biggest Losers

By Kenneth E. Thorpe As Congressional leaders and the White House restart negotiations on the American Health Care Act and look for other ways to curb federal healthcare expenditures, one program critical to America’s seniors stands to lose the most: Medicare Part D, the drug benefit program that has helped seniors live longer and healthier lives.

A new study in the Journal of Health Economics found that Part D reduced senior mortality rates by over 2% annually from 2005-2008, the examined period.

That translates to tens of thousands of lives saved each year.

Despite saving lives and money, Medicare Part D is under attack. Currently, private insurers bargain with drug companies for discounts on medicines. President Trump and a number of Congressional Democrats want the government to muscle these insurers aside and negotiate drug prices directly with manufacturers.

Yet, Part D spending per beneficiary is projected to grow just 1.7 percent, roughly half the overall growth in Medicare spending.

without the advanced medicines they need to stay healthy. The Veterans Administration uses a similar one-size-fits-all model to determine prices. As a result, the VA refuses to cover nearly 20% of the most popular Part D prescription drugs.

Implemented in 2006, Part D helps seniors age 65 and older, as well as those with disabilities, afford prescription medications. Beneficiaries pick the plan they want from private insurers. They pay monthly premiums, which the federal government subsidizes.

The study examined changes in mortality rates for two groups: 66-year-olds who had been eligible for Part D for at least one year and 64-year-olds who were not yet eligible for the program.

They found that Part D plays a crucial role in improving the health of seniors. The 66-year-olds' mortality rate decreased by more than 2% each year compared to the 64-year-olds' rate.

Why? By providing seniors with access to affordable medications, Part D helps to boost medical adherence rates. Researchers found that 66-to-75-year-old adults

increased their use of cardiovascular medications by up to 30% when enrolled in Part D. As a result, the cardiovascular mortality rate for 66-year-olds dropped by nearly 4.5%.

Greater access to medicines doesn't merely save lives it also lowers healthcare costs. Researchers estimate the improved quality of life, reduced out of pocket expenses, and reduced hospitalizations generate an annual benefit of $20 billion for beneficiaries.

Having affordable access to medication makes a difference in the lives -- and deaths -- of older Americans. Politicians who support federal price diktats effectively would trade seniors' health for government savings.

Medicare Part D helps seniors live longer and saves billions annually in healthcare costs. It's up to our leaders to shore up the program, not spoil it.

Kenneth E. Thorpe is a professor of health policy at Emory University and chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease.

62 YEARS OF SERVING THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY

WE AINT CRAZY, WE JUST SCARED

FROM WHERE I SIT in Ebonics

by Sandra Crenshaw

This issue hit the streets without knowing the verdict of “Our Man Downtown” but We do know there was more than the pursuit of justice at work here. I can also tell you that it will not be a unanimous acquittal on the bribery charge. At best a mistrial and the DOJ will decline to further prosecute.

Blacks holler “Everybody takes money under the table” Okay, why are blacks the only ones gettin prosecuted in this town? Former Mayor Pro Tem Al Lipscomb was convicted during what was supposed to be a “wide” net.

Only the black janitors got convicted in the “widespread corruption” allegations at DISD. We ain’t crazy! We know this is about money! but black folks are scared to call out white evil doers.

This column was born sitting on the front row in the federal courtroom during former Mayor pro Tem Don Hill’s trial. Each week I boldly wrote, ”EYE think Hill is guilty but he has the right to the presumption of innocence.”

Hill, etal were later found guilty on housing corruption charges centered literally at my back door. My neighbors opposed the zoning case to approve Runyon Springs housing development because we believed the cost of the housing in a high crime, poor school district would not attract middle class blacks who wanted a Chocolate Crescent address just five miles south. We needed more senior housing that would not burden the immediate neighborhood with teenagers exposed to the incumbent gangs or homebuyers that needed two and three car garages or that would overcrowd RL Thornton Elementary. More importantly, the topography of our neighborhood located literally in a VALLEY was prone to flooding.

The City needed to limit building permits because concrete does not absorb rain water. The morning of the zoning case, the home of an opposing property owner was FIREBOMBED to scare off opposition. The Council approved the development against our will and our advice.

The neighborhood went to the FBI for help.

My neighbor, Ruth Steward was kicked off the housing finance board after she reject-

4

ed a $25,000 bribe to quit asking questions.

My neighborhood lost social services when the Urban League where I used to work was shut down because of Hill’s conspiracy with the past DUL executive director to launder DUL money to Hill’s Planning Commissioner D’Angelo Lee. The housing developer dumped construction waste and trees in Rickets Branch causing the creek to dam and explode. Our neighborhood flooded as we predicted, warped the Rec Center Gym floor and destroyed the homes of five residents who barely escaped drowning.. Tens of MILLIONS of dollars were spent in damages and flood mitigation at taxpayers expense. The houses did not sell and were vandalized into shells as predicted. HUD finally bought the structures to house Hurricane Katrina refugees. Their children formed more gangs, terrorized our children at school, and robbed our neighborhood causing longtime residents to flee and rent their homes to more Section 8 applicants. My nephew lost 17 inches of his intestines after being beat and GUNNED down in a gang fight at my front door in BROAD daylight.

What l think of John Wiley was not on trial in this case. If John walks, both whites and blacks who called him out will feel that the government threw the case. Blacks who hollered racism will further fuel allegations that the government engages in selective enforcement. Both sides will lose faith in the government. As I campaigned for office after Lipscomb’s conviction, octogenarians, now gone to glory, prayed with me. “Vengeance is the Lord’s. If Al done you wrong, HE will take care of Al in due time, not on your time but in DUE time.” The elders added “If blacks gonna do biddin with white folks, make sure they get with a white man with MONEY ---so if you get caught---His MONEY will keep you OUT the pen.” Everybody ain’t crazy! They felt Al musta been doing business with a “po cracker.” As an elder now, EYE have a responsibility to help teach survival skills. I must add to their wisdom “ The owner of Yellow Cab that allegedly bribed Al, HAD money but no power. He was not part of the good ole boys” in Downtown Dallas and repeatedly rejected offers to join the gang. Whether John walks

or is found guilty, the ole folks done warned us “They just wanna break him, he gonna have to pay that money back in legal fees OR restitution. White folks don’t wanna see us with nothing.” We ain’t crazy.! We just scared.!

Public corruption is the third top priority for the Department of Justice. Prosecutions are not just to punish but to serve as a deterrent for others. Hill’s successors on the Council continued to defy the people’s will in our neighborhood. We consistently complained to the DOJ, who eventually told us that the FBI could not babysit Dallas and at some point WE, the PEOPLE had to quit ELECTING corrupt politicians. We then elected this current city council who are again “doing what the white folks do.” In the first 30 days of running for office, Tiffani Young concealed $10,000 in contributions from an apartment housing developer by reporting it came from family and staff.

Isn’t that what Lipscomb and Laura Miller got indicted for? Young told the poor in South Dallas, she didn’t want “no MO low income housing in HER district.” Erik Wilson ignores the wisdom of my neighborhood and other longstanding property owners by engaging high paying City staff to go door to door with political advertising to recruit a new political base of unsuspecting citizens to ditto whatever he and the Mayor wish to do with our property. Wilson and Casey Thomas ignored voters who complained a Charter School would bring traffic. These freshman no longer require a developer to meet with the community BEFORE the DEVELOPERS lobby the council. Rudy’s Chicken went to the Council to call out shoddy work, he was told the council couldn’t to do anything about it. This group put their friends on important boards who don’t live in our Districts and we don’t know nothing about them.

Casey engages political goons to threaten us with police harassment if we question him.

The Mayor killed the MLK People’s Parade allegedly for a $33,000 debt and in doing so they killed a Black Man’s advertising business in retaliation for calling out one of the Mayor’s boys in this paper for his wrong doing. The next week, the blacks voted to give the Winspear Opera House $15 million dollars. Where is the outcry with this injustice? I asked all of the influential people on closing day of John’s

issuu.com/bitsandpieces

trial, Where is the Call to Recall Mayor Rawlings? Mayor Miller helped this paper get corporate advertising when Daddy Blair paid for the parade out his pocket for decades.

For 8 years, my neighborhood stayed on the past councilmembers like “white is on rice.”

Two of ‘em wanna come back. The difference between them and the incumbents and ALL of this year’s challengers, their predecessors now return our phone calls, they listen, and they have humbled themselves and made commitments to do better. We told them, we’d give them a second chance but if they betray us, we’ll meet THEM--- in a courthouse NEXT.

62 YEARS OF SERVING THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY No Ride, No Job

Jobs Go Unfilled For Lack of Transportation

Peabody Award winner Byron Harris is retired from WFAA. But he’s still a journalist. In Byron’s Lens, he’ll present new stories with his words, pictures and video, and revisit others from his forty-two year career as a reporter.

It’s 5:41 on a Wednesday morning and Curtis Corbins is at the Ledbetter Dart station, gathering up his early morning riders for the day. They are on a journey to jobs. Today Mr. Corbins will head up a convoy consisting of a twelve passenger van, a family van, and a family car, down to Ennis, where jobs are going begging for lack of workers.

Workers come here on Dart and then take a van to Ennis. Mr. Corbins keeps it all running.

Ennis is only thirty-eight miles away, straddling I-45 south of Dallas. It’s home to a growing number of sprawling warehouses, run by the likes of Proctor and Gamble, Ace Hardware and Federal Express. For a person needing work who doesn’t have transportation, however, Ennis and all its job vacancies might as well be a thousand miles down the road.

Every morning more than 625,000 workers come into the city for work, mostly on well-paying jobs.

That same day 263,000 people will leave the city for work, mostly on lower paying jobs.

If they’re lucky enough to have transportation.

Dallas has the highest poverty rate among Texas’ major cities. Its need for work, and Ennis’ need for workers, spurred by the growth of the Inland Port in southern Dallas County, have been apparent for some time.

Edna Pemberton, often called the mayor of Oak Cliff for her connections in the community, was approached by Fedex seeking help to fill jobs four years ago.

Dart does not serve the areas where hundreds of workers are needed. Transportation plans were designed years ago, but there was no money to pay for them, Edna Pemberton, otherwise known as Miss P, told me.

Finally, about six months ago, Curtis Corbins jumped into the breach with a rented van, an idea, and a lot of energy. Now each day his startup Southern Dallas Logistics car-

ries about thirty-five people down to Ennis to work at Sterilite, a plastic container manufacturer. The plant employs hundreds. Since August, Corbins has enabled 280 people to find jobs.

About a third of them are on probation.

They welcome a chance for any employment, but especially work that pays close to $12 an hour with the possibility for a raise after ninety days.

The night shift gets on the van to return home after the day shift unloads.

Knowing that the jobs were there, Corbins developed a relationship with the Dallas Life Foundation, a homeless shelter, to help residents tap into employment. By all accounts, it is not easy. A resident at Dallas Life has to catch a train from downtown before four a.m. to make it to Corbins’ pickup point by five thirty a.m. Then it’s a ride of about an hour to the factory, followed by a 12 hour work shift, followed by another two hours of return travel by van and train at the end of the day.

Passengers pay Corbins $10 per trip, which is deducted from their paycheck.

Still, for many simply finding a ride to

work--that so many of us take for granted-has allowed them to literally transform their lives.

After finding a ride with Southern Dallas Logistics to his job at Sterilite, Gary Franklin now has a new place to live.

The hub for all this personal growth is a large unmarked room at Southwest Center mall. Ever afternoon, about a dozen people come in to fill out job applications for Curtis Corbins to pass on to Marathon Staffing, the employment agency which provides workers to Sterilite. They’re drawn by word of mouth, and by referrals by Dallas Police who have a substation at the mall and who spot likely job candidates on their rounds.

The goals for the whole grass roots project are modest. Keep it going, and perhaps begin to serve other facilities in Ennis with more vans and more drivers. For now, Corbins doesn’t even own the van he drives to Ennis ever day. He wants to buy one and has set up a Go Fund Me account, at GoFundMe.com/ rides-to-work. With every ride to work, a life might be changed.

Jarvis Christian College To Open Instructional Site In Dallas Jarvis Christian College President Dr. Lester C. Newman will join Dallas elected officials and the Tom Joyner Foundation at a reception on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Southwest Center Mall, 3663 W.
