Debra’s Words of Wisdom

Delivery food that spills in the bag. Nothing spoils the excitement of getting something delicious ordered in than the meal not being properly packaged for the journey. It can make a mess of your kitchen and, even worse, it’s a waste of perfectly good food!

Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) Do not be anxious about

anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

HSC Institute for Translational Research awarded $150 million grant from NIH to study biology of Alzheimer’s in ethnically diverse groups Grant is the largest ever for UNT System and will be led by worldrenowned researcher Dr. Sid O’Bryant.

Hispanics are projected to have the greatest increase in Alzheimer’s disease by the year 2060.

“This transformative grant will propel the life-changing research around Alzheimer’s disease and health disparities happening in Fort Worth at HSC,” said Dr. Sylvia Trent-Adams, HSC president.

“The continuation of HSC and Dr. O’Bryant’s work through this $150 million grant is a true testament to the groundbreaking neurodegenerative research the team has already accomplished. The opportunity to change the trajectory of Alzheimer’s and lead this first-ofits-kind health disparities work is an honor and privilege for all of North Texas and beyond.”

The five-year grant combines the resources of 17 other institutions across the country. However, all participants will be recruited from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and evaluated through the Institute for Translational Research. Since 2012, HSC and the ITR team have received $210 million in NIH funding for the Health & Aging Brain Study – Health Disparities (HABS-HD), a comprehensive study of health disparities in Alzheimer’s disease to date.

“We are going to change the world,” said O’Bryant, who also is a professor at the HSC Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. “There has never been a large-scale study like this before that will use a health

The Institute for Translational Research at The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth is the recipient of a $150 million grant from the National Institute for Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), for one of the largest studies ever of Alzheimer’s disease. It is the largest grant that the University of North Texas System has received.

Dr. Sid O’Bryant, executive director of the Institute for Translational Research at HSC, will lead a team to conduct the first-ever, large-scale study of the biology of Alzheimer’s disease within a health disparities framework across the three largest racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. – African American, Mexican American and non-Hispanic white. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative dementia, disproportionally impacting African Americans and Hispanics.

The research will seek to understand the differences in Alzheimer’s disease among these multi-ethnic populations. To date, the majority of Alzheimer’s research has focused on non-Latino white populations, yet Mexican Americans will develop the disease an average of 10 years earlier in their lifetimes, according to different studies.

African Americans currently suffer the highest burden of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, while

disparities framework in this way. We will comprehensively study the causes and risks of Alzheimer’s disease, including social and cultural factors. This will allow us to study the biology of three different ethnic groups, all within a sociocultural perspective, and better understand what treatments are beneficial to each group.”

Participants will join HSC’s established, community-based Health and Aging Brain Study – Health Disparities, with 1,500 enrollees taking part from each of the three different ethnic groups for a total of 4,500 participants.

The institute will continue to study the 3,000 participants over age 50 who already are actively enrolled. Through this new grant, 500 participants ages 30 to 49 will be added to each ethnic group. This will allow the research team to capture additional environmental and sociocultural data to study the factors that influence the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers among diverse populations across adulthood.

“The impact that this award will have will truly make a transformational change in the area of Alzheimer’s research and clinical care by improving the lives of others,” said Dr. Frank Filipetto, Everett Endowed Professor and TCOM dean. “We are so grateful for the NIH and how this investment will help us better understand how Alzheimer’s disease affects all Americans.”

ITR’s state-of-the-art imaging center is housed on the HSC campus. Each participant in the study will undergo comprehensive interviews,

examinations, clinical laboratory tests, a brain MRI and two PET scans. The researchers will look for amyloid or tau proteins, which are biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease.

“This grant will enable us to meet the long-term goal of establishing population-specific, precision medicine approaches for treatment and prevention strategies,” O’Bryant said.

PET scans began in February 2021 and, to date, ITR has collected around 1,700 amyloid PET scans and 1,000 tau PET scans. The Health & Aging Brain Study – Health Disparities has collected more than 6,000 MRI scans since it began in 2016.

“This award and project are nothing short of a bio behavioral ‘moonshot’ program to understand, alleviate and eventually solve the origins, pain, and suffering of Alzheimer’s disease,” said Dr. Brian Gladue, HSC executive vice president for research and innovation.

Multiple primary investigators will join O’Bryant in this project, including Dr. Leigh Johnson from HSC, Dr. Robert Rissman from UC San Diego, Dr. Arthur Toga from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, and Dr. Kristine Yaffe from UC San Francisco.

The study will be funded by a grant from the NIH (U19AG087109).

Study collaborators from 17

institutions across the U.S. will be represented:

Dallas residents have a oncein-a-generation opportunity to revitalize Fair Park and expand the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas (KBHCCD), two of Dallas’ biggest attractions for travel and tourism, when they cast their ballots November 8 for the $1.5 billion initiative. The ballot measure known as Proposition A asks citizens to vote FOR a “tourist tax” – a 2% increase in the hotel occupancy tax which is paid by visitors who stay overnight in Dallas hotels and motels. Dallas residents would reap the benefits of modernizing these venues but would pay no increase in property or sales taxes.

If approved, this opportunity will create 50,000+ jobs, bring Fair Park into the 21st century with $300 million worth of renovations and repairs and double the capacity and expected

The tourist tax mechanism was formerly used to fund construction of the American Airlines Center and allowed the City of Dallas to completely pay off the debt 15 years earlier than expected.

The Best Interest with Miles Peterson

Children must be protected from any and all hostilities between parents in family law cases. This is why many Texas counties include in their standing orders something to the effect of an order to “refrain from discussing with a child or another in the presence of a child any litigation related to a child or other party.” The intention of the courts with this language is specifically to protect the children in a suit from any hostilities that may be present between their parents.

Two key things you do not want to do is 1. use the children as weapons or tools against the other parent and 2. alienate the children from the other parent. Not only will doing this hurt a case, but these two actions can cause severe psychological harm to the children. If the situation is that the other parent is abusive, struggling with addiction, or incarcerated then it is understandable why there is a need to keep the children from them. That would be in the best interest of the children. But, if the other parent is simply trying to be present in their child’s life and the primary parent refuses to let them out of spite or some

other arbitrary reason, then that will cause more harm to the child than good. No matter how much disdain is held for the other parent, if they are not a danger to the health, safety, or general welfare of the child they should not be kept away from them.

For the sake of the children involved, civility and maturity

is a must. Explain to them why their parents are not living together anymore, but emphasize that they still have both parents. If the situation allows, make sure they understand that both parents will be present in their lives. And no matter, what refrain from disparaging the other parent in their presence.

It doesn’t matter what the nature of the case is; whether it’s a divorce, a petition for an increase in child support, or a modification for child custody, when there are kids involved in a family law matter, they are the most important subject of the suit.

Divorce is tough enough on the actual parties, but it’s even tougher on the children involved. Studies have shown that the hostile environment that can result from a contested divorce can negatively impact children’s academic performance and

The band also performed for former President Bill Clinton at the Grambling State University May 23, 1999 Graduation Ceremonies.

bachelor’s degree in instrumental Music Education. Two years later in 1975, he earned a master’s degree in Instrumental Music Education from Louisiana Tech University.

Taste and Tell!

(Hawkins, Texas) — Jarvis Christian University is excited to announce that former Grambling State University music department chair and director of bands Dr. Larry J. Pannell is JCU’s new interim band director for 2022-2023 academic year.

“Dr. Larry Pannell is a legendary, iconic band director, who brings a wealth of experience and energy,” said Dr. Lester C. Newman. “We are excited that he has joined the JCU family and we look forward to the positive impact that he will have on our students.”

Pannell wore many hats as music department chair in his 26-years of leading the World Famed Grambling Marching Tiger Band. He hired and oversaw eight assistants who worked with the university’s concert band, symphonic band, jazz band, pep band and showband.

He was a band director and music instructor in Bakersfield and in Los Angeles, California; and in Shreveport, Louisiana, before returning to his alma mater in 1992 as an assistant professor and assistant band director. Dr. Pannell has directly trained more than 5,000 student members of the band.

Under his leadership, the band performed for five U.S. presidents — Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W.H. Bush, George Bush and Barack

The band was featured in Denzel Washington’s movie, “The Great Debaters,” as well as in the 20th Century Fox movie “Drumline.” A performance honoring the music of Motown during the 1998 Super Bowl XXXII in Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California, led to a recording contract for an album featuring the band performing hits made by Motown artists. His band performed more than 300 national performances and many abroad.

His contributions have helped connect the students and the university with an impressive list of America’s largest brands including Apple, EA Sports, the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL) and dozens more.

Pannell says his music career began in 1963 when he joined the 7th grade band to play the clarinet at Linear (pronounced Lin-EER) Junior High School in Shreveport, Louisiana. The 1969 graduate enrolled at Grambling College graduated in 1973 from Grambling with a

He officially became Dr. Larry J. Pannell when he earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, Illinois. While a student at Grambling, Pannell met the love of his life, the former Mary Lou Anderson, to whom he was married to for 34 years.

After retiring from Grambling State University, Dr. Pannell has been a music consultant for Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens, Florida; and Albion College in Albion, Michigan.

Pannell is driven by his favorite scripture — Luke 12:48 which reads, “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”

Jarvis Christian University empowers a diverse population of students of all ages intellectually, socially, spiritually and personally to pursue an affordable education in an inclusive environment that is academically challenging yet supportive, nurturing and responsive to the needs of each student.

A New Way to Advance Literacy in Early Learning

second-grade teacher at Eddie B. Johnson. “They’re excited about knowing how to read, they want to read at home and they have to read every day. It’s a very crucial time for me to foster the excitement and water the seed that’s already there so they can have a lifelong love for learning.”

they leave our campus so they can be good, successful students in the community,” Walker said.

Eddie Bernice Johnson STEM Academy student Clarissa Alejandre-Carrasco tried out her school’s brand new book vending machine on Tuesday, thanks to a generous donation from Atmos Energy to the Dallas Education Foundation.

Sheena Morgan, Manager of Public Affairs at Atmos Energy, is proud to support Dallas ISD students, “The book vending machine is an example of our continued investment in education and literacy programs by providing books to elementary students and encouraging a love of reading.”

Rather than a typical snack or drink dispenser, the book vending machine sparks a different kind of excitement for teachers and students – advancing literacy from a young age. To activate the machine, teachers will hand out tokens to their students as a reward. Rufus C. Burleson Elementary School was also gifted with its own fully stocked book vending machine this week.

“This vending machine and the one at Burleson reinforce to our young students that reading can be and is fun. They represent opportunities for our early learners to choose a book for their own collection and most importantly, to succeed,” Victor Vital, Dallas Education Foundation board president, said. “Literacy is extremely important to my students because they’re at the beginning of their reading journey,” said Janese Gilyard, a

Director of Early Learning Debbie Murillo and her department curated an initial set of books, ones they found particularly engaging for students’ first experiences with the machine. This gift is a gateway for positive association with reading and learning for students, especially those who do not have access to books at home.

Eddie B. Johnson Assistant Principal Jessica Walker is looking forward to seeing young readers have the opportunity to self-select things they’re interested in. Being able to see the titles in the display and share what they choose with their friends will ignite a passion for reading, she said.

“If a student isn’t literate, then the opportunities they have are limited. We want to make sure that our students are literate when

Often I feel like a Mama Bear wanting to protect her and even as the days and nights grow long on the campaign trail, I find myself more passionate and energized than ever to serve this country and her amazing people.

You see, very few people are willing to step out into a role like this because of what is required to do it excellently. But this isn’t a job to me, it’s a calling. A calling is something deeper, more abiding

Now I do want to address this so called

“QB Controversy” smh. Many say we should ride the hot hand bc Dak hasn’t been playing well as of recent; and when I say recent, I mean the last few games he’s played in including last year. Not to take anything away from Cooper Rush, he’s been playing well dont get me wrong but this is NOT a qb controversy, at all. Cooper in his 3 starts has played subpar defenses and yes that does include the Vikings last year. Their offense was the strength of their team but their defense was very suspect. In his second career start, he played the Bengals whose defense is also suspect and they have a terrible offensive line so our defense was basically able to carry the team as long as he didn’t mess it up. Giants(3rd start) are the Giants people. Even with a 2-0 start to their season(which was a weak 2-0), we were the favorites even with our backups playing. So let’s pump the brakes some and not turn this into another “Romo/Dak who do we start” issue. What I will say is that we shouldn’t rush Dak back bc Rush has been playing well enough to allow him more time to heal. But come on now, it’s not like the dude has been lighting up the stat sheets. Dak is the far better qb even with the subpar games he’s played. Take some time to go back through last year’s games and this year, and check the stat lines. We win when we don’t give up on the run, regardless of who’s the qb, bc we stay balanced. Often what happens is that the play calling changes to where they want him to throw the ball 40 and 50 times a game and that’s not Dak’s game. Only the elites are able to win games with their arm and Dak is not elite. A lot of people like to go off QBR stats and if that’s the case, Dak is a career 98 rating, while Rush is 91. If we gonna go with the “Stay with who’s hot” logic then why not let Noah Brown stay as the #2 even when Gallup is cleared to play. It only makes sense right?

Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month!

National Hispanic Heritage Month(Spanish: Mes National Hispanic Heritage Month(Spanish: Mes nacional de la herencia hispana) is annually celebrated from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements for the United States.

Hispanic Week was established by legislation sponsored by Rep. Edward R. Roybal of Los Angeles and was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968. In 1988, the commemorative week was expanded to a month (September 15 to October 15) by legislation sponsored by Rep. Esteban Edward Torres (D–CA), amended by Senator Paul Simon, and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. September 15 was chosen as the starting point for the commemoration because it is the anniversary of the Cry of Dolores(early morning, 16 September 1810), which marked the start of the Mexican War of Independence and thus resulted (in 1821) in independence for the New Spain Colony (now Mexico and the Central American nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua) which became the Federal Republic of Central America.

Mexico, most Central Americancountries, and Chile commemorate their independence from Spain on September 15, September 16, and September 18, respectively.

Hispanic Heritage Week was first proclaimed by President Johnson in 1968 in Presidential Proclamation3869 Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan gave annual proclamations for Hispanic Heritage Week between 1969 and 1988. National Hispanic Heritage Month was first proclaimed by President George H. W. Bush on September 14, 1989, in Presidential Proclamation 6021. Since 1989, all Presidents have given a Presidential Proclamation to mark Hispanic Heritage Month. It is annually celebrated from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements for the United States.

than a job. It reaches into the bedrock of your soul and drives you in a different way than a job does. Jobs are essential and vital for our lives and economies, but I am privileged to step into this calling on my life and I hope you’ll join me. I can’t do this alone. I can do what I’m called to do, but I need you to do what you’re called to do. Because I can’t do what you do and vice versa.

A strange thing has happened in our nation and even in Dallas County. Criminals and lawlessness have begun to be prioritized over law-abiding, hard-working citizens and this has happened before our very eyes. For example, when it is official policy to not prosecute theft under $750, you are communicating that the law of the land allows for thievery up to a certain extent. No parent would tell their child, “It’s okay to steal, son as long as it’s under a certain amount.” To hear it put in those terms seems obviously asinine. Yet that is the current policy of Dallas County and is coming directly from the current DA’s office.

As I’m out on the campaign trail, I’m talking to all kinds of amazing people who do not feel safe. No one cares what the stats are if they don’t feel safe. Statistics can be shifted and altered to tell whatever narrative someone wants to tell. But if your car is carjacked or your son or daughter is murdered, no one would ever say, “Well statistics show that crime is down.” Another asinine statement that is totally disconnected from the experience of the citizen.

As your next DA, my priority is to throw out all policies that knowingly or unknowingly incentivize crime of all kinds in our county. My heart and passion is to restore law and order and civil, hospitable environments for our law enforcement officials, our county employees, and our citizens. Our law enforcement

teams are working their tails off. But if the leaders of justice aren’t doing their part in enforcing the existing laws and upholding justice and righteousness in the land, then we all suffer.

Please come see me at any of my campaign offices listed below and learn more about me at https://faithjohnsonforda. com. Please take the time to get to know me because we must make it a priority to get to know our county officials and elect strong, competent leaders.

Again, I am Faith Johnson and I’m asking for your vote on November 8th. Join me as we move into the future with a safer and better Dallas!
