Carolyn Davis - Response to Article

Nothing written by Dallas Morning News reporter, Robert Wilonsky, appears to be done in good taste. When I pick up a news publication and look at the articles gracing the front page, my expectation is to gain knowledge of the top news stories of the previous day/evening and the wee hours of the morning.

Like anyone else, I am looking for news story titles to see what grabs my attention. Just like you, I am using the story headlines to decide on what I am going to read, especially those headlines on the front page, to guide me through the publication, based upon my interests. As a woman of AfricanAmerican descent, my eyes automatically lock in on pictures and titles concerning the AfricanAmerican population here in Dallas. Last week Wednesday, when I picked up a copy of the Dallas Morning News dated July 24, 2019, two titles caught my attention - “Shared Comfort, Rage Amid Tragedy” and “2nd Plea in Bribery Case”. Honestly, I couldn’t even tell you what the other articles were about because my next hurried move, was to locate the continuation of these stories, in the other sections of the newspaper; and in that order.

Carolyn Davis has gone away, with her daughter. We owe them a certain amount of respect.

Ms. Davis is not here to address the concerns of anyone who has villified her in publication, therefore, myself and the community are asking you to allow her to rest. Please understand, there are many people who were appalled by Wilonsky’s reporting approach, but many of them, because of their position in government, are not allowed to speak as candidly as they would like to about the turn of events. Mr. Wilonsky could have done like Honorable Carolyn Davis most of the other tabloids did and reported solely on facts, Dallas Morning News, as being but because he has not chosen a credible source of information. the straight and narrow path of Personally, at times, I had to stop journalism, it is our job to seek and re-read items I came across in ways to have him removed from the article, in an effort to discover the Dallas Morning News.

Letter to Chief U Renee Hall from Commissioner John Wiley Price Dear Chief Hall, Please accept this letter written on behalf of a growing number of my constituents. Over the past few weeks, many of them have raised serious concerns over the perceived “super activity” of the officers “loaned” to the Dallas Police department to supplement its diminishing ranks. And while there is no contempt for the department of Public Safety officers, the issues brought forth deserve some answers.

Presently, it appears as though the major arteries and thoroughfares in Black and Brown neighborhoods are being exploited. We have noticed what we consider to be overly aggressive activity. For example, the majority of calls I have received mention Lamar, Ledbetter, East oak Cliff and those contingent areas and communities.

For the record, I was not elected by the fine people of the Preston Hollow or White rock neighborhoods, but I am confident that they are not seeing similar response. As usual, poorer and darker communities are affected first and farthest when “martial law” is personally declared in major Urban areas.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! Please accept this official request for information as prescribed by the Texas General Code in title 5, subchapter A, subtitle 552, otherwise known as the “Open Records Act,” or the more formally, the “Texas Public Information Act”. Once again let me reiterate; we are not anti-police and we are prop public safety.

However, on the surface, this latest decision appears to be leveraged against us. Bad decision in policing are fraught with potential threats to the lives and liberties of the public and to peace officers. We can ill-afford any loss of either.

Dallas County has also been involved in this “load sharing “ project and I will expect them to answer the same.

Although 98.6% of Dallas County taxpayers have paid their 2018 annual property taxes (2019 taxes will be billed in October 2019), Dallas County Tax Assessor/Collector John R. Ames is not yet ready to close the books on the 2018 tax year.

6 Elite News August 2, 2019 Creator of The Hair Shield Introduces New Collection of Protective Bags that Store, Transport, and Restore Hair Extensions and Weaves Launch Party Scheduled at The Slate Dallas on July 28

In an effort to help women protect their investments in consumer hair enhancements, entrepreneur Delanise Carter has created the Hair Shield, a fashionable collection of specialty bags designed to store, guard, and restore hair extensions and weaves.

Members of the press and professionals in the beauty industry will attend the Hair Shield’s private launch party scheduled for July 28 at The Slate Dallas, 2403 Farrington Street, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

To avoid throwing money in the trash, I searched online for a product which would not only store my extensions but maintain its silky texture for reuse. It didn’t take long for me to realize that if I wanted such a product, I’d have to create it on my own.”

The Hair Shield is a protective scroll-shaped fabric that is made to keep hair extensions safely tucked away when not in use. With the aid of its satin lining, the hair extensions are prevented from dryness, while their beauty and moisture are retained for a long period. Clip-ins, sew-ins, bundles, glued tracks, and other types of hair extensions are neatly stored to prevent them from incurring unnecessary kinks, dust, particles, and tangles.

“Regularly after wearing my extensions for an extended period of time, I remove them for a few weeks to give my natural hair some attention,” said Carter. “Typically, my routine consisted of tying my extensions with a rubber band and tossing them under the sink or into a drawer. When it was time for reinstallation, I’d find them frayed, frizzy, and frumpy. When hair extensions are removed after daily use,

Carter says the owner can simply wash the extensions with shampoo and conditioner, dry them well, comb or brush out the tangles, and place them in the shield and store in a safe dry place. The following video provides step-by-step instructions for using the Hair Shield: https://thehairshield.com/pages/videos “Since creating this product, my extensions have lasted longer and appear the same texture as when I first pulled them out of the box,” Carter added. “As a woman who has been wearing extensions for over 20 years, I can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.

No more bundles of hair scattered across your counter space, protect your investment and purchase the Hair Shield.”
