75th Anniversary of ‘Gone With the Wind’ Reprinted with permission from The Root.com By E.R. SHIPP

Well, fiddledeedee, as Scarlett O’Hara might exclaim: Gone With the Wind, the epic film of love and war set against the backdrop of a doomed Southern slavocracy, is turning 75, with special screenings in movie theaters around the nation and an airing on TV, too. While black film buffs and thrill seekers will be in these audiences, that was not the case when the blockbuster saga premiered at Atlanta‘s Loew’s Grand on Dec. 15, 1939, with Depression-era patrons paying a whopping $10 for tickets.

Take 10

on Tuesdays Scarlett O’Hara, played by actress Vivien Leigh

In that New South that had replaced the antebellum South, there were no seats for black moviegoers. “Negro reaction to Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind will have to wait until the film comes North,” the Pittsburgh Courier’s Atlanta correspondent reported in the Dec. 23, 1939, edition. For the GWTW premiere, Atlanta was a bastion of Old South pageantry, with 42 choristers from the oldest black church there, Big Bethel AME, dressed in “the garb of the old South,” according to the Baltimore Afro, to entertain the audience with Negro spirituals. The film that went on to win 10 Oscars—including the first for a black performer—and that the American Film Institute considers one of the best films ever made, created nearly as much havoc in the equivalent of black Twitter—the black press—as General William T. Sherman’s march through Atlanta during the Civil War. It was 1939, when millions of despairing people were unemployed and living on some form of public assistance during the Great Depression. Black activists were crusading for a federal anti-lynching bill. Europe was combating Nazis and fascists while America dithered over whether to intervene. And Hollywood was promoting the lost cause in a war that had claimed 750,000 lives See GONE WITH THE WIND, 12A

NASHVILLE, TN — Having previously served on the Metro Council for two terms (19952003) in a district seat, and having recently retired after nearly 12 years of service as a member of U.S. Congressman Jim Cooper’s staff in his Nashville office, I feel uniquely qualified to add valuable experience and expertise to our Metro council.

Battleship Missouri Memorial’s Facebook Contest PEARL HARBOR, HI — The retired USS Missouri, berthed in historic Pearl Harbor as the Battleship Missouri Memorial, announced that Richard Parker of Nashville has enlisted to be Tennessee’s “Battlehead” ambassador for the Missouri’s new Ship it Forward Facebook contest. America’s last and most famous battleship and the site where World War II ended on September 2, 1945, the gigantic “Mighty Mo” is nearly three football fields long and stands 20 stories tall from keel to mast. Today, the USS Missouri is

berthed bow-to-bow to the sunken USS Arizona, creating a stirring bond between the two battleships signifying the beginning and end of World War II for the U.S. “We’re excited to welcome aboard Richard as Tennessee’s Battlehead ambassador and thank him for sharing the Mighty Mo’s story in his community and with his Facebook friends,” said Jaclyn Hawse, Director of Communications and Business Development for the Battleship Missouri Memorial. “The USS Missouri is a national icon and we look forward to welcoming our contest winner to walk its decks, stand where World War II ended, and hear about the ship’s incredible history.” The Ship it Forward contest is open to participants in every state and is centered around the Missouri’s eye-catching new “Battlehead” foam headgear, designed in the shape of the Mighty Mo (image below), with the grand prizewinner and a guest receiving a gift certificate for round-trip airfare to Honolulu. By becoming the first to sign up from Tennessee as an ambassador, Richard has been given a complimentary Battlehead. Richard submitted his contest entry

Battleship Missouri Memorial Since opening in January 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has attracted more than 6-million visitors from around the world with a fascinating tour experience showcasing the USS Missouri’s unique place in history. Located a mere ship’s length from the USS Arizona Memorial, the Mighty Mo completes a historical visitor experience that begins with the “day of infamy” and sinking of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and ends with Imperial Japan’s surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2,

GMC’s latest Sierra 2500 Denali pickup truly pushes the boundaries of its once bland but utilitarian image. Not so long ago, heavy-duty pickups were workhorses for the farm and the industrial workplace with all the amenities of a pioneer’s covered wagon. While the segment has continued to be larger and stronger that before, GMC’s 2015 Sierra 2500HD Denali surprised us with its refinement and comfort unheard of in this segment. The 2015 GMC Sierra HD Denali amplifies the “industrial-chic” styling with additional touches inside and out, and you can’t miss its reflective, rearview-mirror-clogging grille. From behind the wheel, the view is commanding. The cabin envelops you and although the truck is huge it is easier to climb into. The HD’s most significant update is its vastly improved ride, a big achievement considering that the truck’s rear tires are filled to 75 psi. The new interior has supportive seats and smartly arranged controls. The top-tier Denali features brushed-aluminum accents and additional soft-touch materials, as well as a long list of standard equipment, including a 360-hp, 6.0-liter gasoline V-8, heated and cooled seats, and eight-inch displays in both the cluster and center stack. Under the hood the Duramax V-8’s 397 horsepower helped propel our 7660-pound truck through city streets and on the highways of Nashville with ease. The huge engine along with the heavy duty suspension can tow 13,000 pounds and has a maximum payload of 3,441 pounds which are close to the

best in its class. The truck’s trailering technology includes a “Standard Integrated Trailer Brake Controller” which is located close to the steering wheel for easy adjustments and displays the level of brake force or “gain” in the Driver Information Center Trailer Sway Control Technology which keeps the trailer heading in the proper direction, automatically using sensors to detect the rocking of a swaying trailer, and then applying the brakes to help bring it back in line. Sierra 2500 Denali HD’s advanced technologies pair intelligent engineering with driver-centric safety, using cameras or ultrasonic sensors to watch where the driver may not be looking. Sierra is the first pickup to offer this technology, which lets you know when you are approaching another vehicle too quickly or when you’ve left your driving lane. We found the feature extremely useful for such a large vehicle. Other available technologies include: Forward Collision Alert; Lane Departure Warning; and Safety Alert Seat. Vehicle Type: front-engine, rear/4wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door pickup Price: $54,835 to $64,630 Engine Type: turbocharged and intercooled pushrod 32-valve diesel V-8, iron block and aluminum heads, direct fuel injection Power: 397 hp @ 3000 rpm Transmission: 6-speed automatic with manual shifting mode Wheelbase: 153.7 in Length: 239.5 in Width: 80.5 in.

New Books Designed to Increase Fundraising for Our Readers...

Two Quotes to Inform Your Leadership This week we heard two expressions we are compelled to share with you, our readers. They are “The Fooling Yourself Theory” and “Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness.” Both can be applied to fundraising throughout the year, and especially in the last quarter. They were shared by women from different parts of the country both of whom are very experienced with fundraising, board service, and nonproﬁt management. One is a nonproﬁt executive, the other heads a private business. Here are the details. The Fooling Yourself Theory. When we heard this phrase we had to stop and write it down right away. Here’s what it means. You are an executive (or board member) and you observe that certain structures, systems or people do not support the organization and its goals. You make the observation and then you ignore your observation. Or you hope you’re wrong. Or you hope it will resolve itself on its own. We have seen this in play so many times. People in leadership know what is wrong, see it clear as day, and yet take no action. Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. This error can be made by young and old alike. The young may confuse kindness with weakness because they don’t have a history of working within healthy organizations. They may assume that creating a climate of trust and letting people be responsible for outcomes is a sign of weakness. That the executive or board chair won’t notice if work isn’t produced. Older people may have been trained to respond to constant follow up, criticism and externally imposed dead-

lines. They may mistake a leader’s delegation of responsibility and respect for others’ expertise and autonomy as weakness. The fourth quarter is a time many nonprofits focus on revenue, and The Fooling Yourself Theory can get in the way of successful fundraising. If last year’s fundraising strategy did not yield the required results, thinking it will work this year may be an example of the “theory” in action. If board members did not solicit those they agreed to solicit last year, you may want a different strategy – or different volunteers – this year. Employees and board members who show up in body but not in mind and spirit, and those who quietly or boldly don’t fulfill their responsibilities may be surprised when they are asked to resign. It shouldn’t be a surprise: kindness is not weakness. Kind leaders work with their employees and board members and understand the ups and downs of life and the many commitments we all must fulfill. But leaders – mean and kind – know that responsibilities need to be fulfilled. Those who don’t practice the “theory” take action: they are not weak, they are kind and decisive. Contemplate these expressions and let them inform your leadership and your ability to follow.

Tennessee Promise Deadline Nov. 1 Staff Editorial

November 1 is the deadline for TN students to apply to “Tennessee Promise” where students can attend a public community college technically at no cost. And while the program appears to be “great” it must be noted that the community colleges themselves will be the beneficiaries of the Promise plan as current enrollment declines are off-set by the projected influx of students. Tennessee Promise is a financial windfall for TN community colleges. The method of funding public colleges is complex and somewhat convoluted with only a relatively small portion of operating funds coming from student tuition. But, increased enrollment does mean increased allocations from the state and todays college presidents, fashionably retitled college “CEO’s” are under enhanced pressure to serve more students with less. How effectively the college “CEO” does this is the primary benchmark for state funders. The education of our most at risk citizens in Tennessee, our most at-risk students, takes a back seat to the practice of rewarding institutional leaders for their ability for financial manipulations. According to the most recent Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) report, Nashville State Community College ranks 12 out of 13

for students who actually graduate within 6 years of their start date. Nashville State’s graduation rate is 20.1% while other “local” community colleges, Volunteer State and Motlow State have 6 year graduation rates of 28% and 30.5% respectively. Even with this poor performance it appears that the Tennessee Board of Regents believes the leadership of Nashville State to be performing at a level that is both acceptable and respectable. The Tennessee Promise program is ultimately funded by Tennesseans. And given the ubiquity of the Nashville State parking decals on cars all about town, as a current or potential student you have the right to demand a healthy, productive and successful institution which currently Nashville State is not. A healthy institution is one which focuses on and generates success as measured by teaching, learning, and graduation. A little over one third of the Nashville State population is African American, a percentage not at all reflected in the faculty or the administration. The first ever African American academic Dean at Nashville State was hired in October 2013. The argument may be made, perhaps by senior administrators, that the depressed graduation rate of Nashville State may be correlated to African American enrollment. So

perhaps, a more diverse administration in tandem with different financially driven choices, such as hiring more full time faculty as opposed to utilizing adjuncts as well as allowing for greater and more robust faculty participation in college governance may result in more successful outcomes. So if you are deciding what to do or where to go, look beyond Nashville State; actually look beyond community college. While finances are a critical piece of the decision investigate all of your choices. Use this time to investigate local four year institutions such as Fisk or TSU. Whatever their challenges both of these institutions are committed to student success and both have brought on dynamic, African American Presidents, who are the type of leaders required for a college in the 21st century dedicated to student success. If you do decide to attend a community college, demand what you deserve; a diverse and supportive faculty and administration; teachers who are full time and available as well as a schedule that allows you to attend school while supporting the other aspects of your life. If these attributes are not present simply take your mind elsewhere. There is a school for you; it simply may not be a Tennessee Promise.

The mid-term elections will take place in a precious few weeks and even with my ear to the ground, I can’t hear very much. There doesn’t seem to be a buzz, urgency, or very much interest coming from our communities about the importance of, and the responsibility it brings. We have to vote and get the vote out! Actually, what I have noticed in many conversations, is that the majority of people I talk to are not actually aware of what is at stake if we don’t go to the polls in droves this time. I sense quite a bit of apathy, as so many are of the opinion that their one vote won’t count for a variety of reasons. The main one being that “the 1%, Koch Brothers, and unlimited PAC money, even if it is dark, will prevail.” So for those who only get their facts from the media and believe that money buys elections, I have a news flash: Unity, hard work, and the voting strength and power of “we the people” who come together for a common cause and social justice, is what WINS elections. President Obama proved that there wasn’t enough money to buy the ballot box when we decided that enough is enough. We gave millions in $5.00 donations to the party, then went out to do our duty. We worked hard and got the vote out. But as a Pastor, activist, and political writer, what is shocking to me is that far too many of “us” just don’t want to “mix religion and politics,” or “would prefer to not talk about all that.” But

RODNEY BEARD one of my faves (or not so faves) is--“It’s all in God’s hands.” And while I do know that it’s all in “His” hands, I also know that He expects us to use our hands to pull the lever on the voting machine to express His will, and be His witnesses in the earth. Let me tell us why it is imperative that we vote in the upcoming election and not allow “them” to take control of both branches of Congress. If we do not show up: Our President will possibly be sued and impeached by mean-spirited and racist power brokers simply because he is Black. The Affordable Care Act, which has helped so many of us, will be repealed and replaced by something that benefits them or maybe not at all. A comprehensive jobs bill (which benefits us) will never make it to the floor and the unemployment rate will continue to increase only because they don’t want any more jobs for us to have any more economic power. Immigration reform and real border security will be on the “back-burner,” never to be resolved, as our country continues its downward slide toward basic human rights, even as it relates to children. The Paycheck Fair-

ness Act, which holds employers more accountable for wage discrimination against women, will never happen and women will continue to make 16% less than men. An increase in the minimum wage will be only a memory as in no way. They love slavery to a fault. The long-term unemployed, whose benefits have been denied, will be forever that way as a strategy to destroy those who have no power to change their situation, no matter how much education and ability they have. If there are vacancies in the mostly racist Supreme Court, they will be filled with more racist “Justices” who wreak havoc on all of us. Foreign policy will lead us into more un-winnable wars that line the pockets of corporations such as Halliburton once again. The loss of innocent Americans and other lives will be obviously for the profit of others. Last and most important of all, they will fight President Obama in an effort to discredit our viability as a “people” only because they cannot take the fact that enough is enough when it comes to race and racism in this country. “Together we stand--united we fall.” And that is not about color. It’s about doing what is right. Let us stand our ground together for justice and GO VOTE! Enough is enough. Tell me what you think.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor; I AM A MAN Still fighting to vote! My parents were married in 1954. You may ask why this is important, well it isn’t but I needed to pick a year before the Voting Rights Act was signed and I needed some criteria for picking that year and the year my parents were married seemed like a good one. Why did I need to pick a year before the Voting Rights Act was passed? Because I would like to

talk about all the fuss over voter ID. First, let me say we all know why there has been a push for voter ID: to suppress minority voter turnout. Those for voter IDs can argue all they want to about preventing voter fraud and having clean elections. The truth is that if we really wanted to have clean elections we would limit the amount of money one company or individual could contribute and allow voting to take place over several days instead of just one. It is the hope of those

who want to limit minority voter participation and who fear minorities won’t vote for them that by requiring voter IDs you will limit minority voter turnout, conversely that is the fear of those who believe they will get the minority vote. In both cases it has nothing to do with protecting the integrity of the voting process or the rights of the voter; it is for the candidates own selfish reasons. By John Alan, Community Activist

Voter turnout in Tennessee is 55.7%, the 6th lowest in the United States

Tennessee

• Employment rate: 66.5% (17th lowest) • Household disposable income per capita: $27,734 (20th lowest) • Homicide rate: 5.9 per 100,000 (10th highest) • Voter turnout: 55.7% (6th lowest)

With a voter turnout rate of just 55.7%, Tennessee had among the lowest levels of political engagement in the country. Like most other states with low voter turnout, less than 60% of Tennessee’s population had access to broadband Internet. Such poor access to services was common among the states with the worst quality of life. Also, just 85% of Tennessee workers had completed at least high school as of last year, worse than in many states. However, Tennessee has made substantial efforts to improve statewide education levels. Most notably, state ofﬁcials recently approved an initiative to make all Tennessee community colleges tuition free, the only state in the U.S. to do so.

Cohen Responds to TN Voter Fraud Report MEMPHIS, TN — Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) recently released the following statement in response toa new U.S. Government Accountability Office report finding that Tennessee’s restrictive voter ID law led to reductions in voter turnout that were larger “among African-American registrants than among White, Asian-American, and Hispanic registrants.” The report further found that in-person voter fraud—which is often cited by supporters as the reason why restrictive voter ID laws are needed in the first place—is virtually non-existent. “I have said from the beginning that the goal of restrictive state voter ID policies

Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09)

like Tennessee’s isn’t to prevent fraud, it’s to make it harder for African Americans to exercise the fundamental right to vote that Americans of all stripes hold sacred,” said Congressman Cohen.“And today’s authoritative report from the federal government shows exactly that: our state’s law disenfranchises African Americans but the fraud it is supposed to prevent doesn’t even exist. Despite the claims of its supporters, the Tennessee Voter ID law is a travesty of justice masquerading as a cure to a disease that we all know is imaginary.” To help alleviate the harmful and disenfranchising effects of unfair and burdensome voter ID laws like Ten-

nessee’s, Congressman Cohen has introduced hisVoter ID Accessibility Act. The bill would amend theNational Voter Registration Act of 1993, commonly referred to as the “Motor Voter Law,” to expand access to photo identification in states that require it for voting. Congressman Cohen’s legislation would ensure that state and federal offices that provide public assistance—which already offer visitors the opportunity to register to vote—also notify individuals of their state’s voter ID mandate and offer them the opportunity to obtain suitable identification free of charge.

University of Memphis to Receive Funding for New Workforce Center

Norma Lester

Justin Ford

An ‘Open Letter’ From Norma Lester My fellow Democrats, in reflecting upon recent activities, I am of the opinion it is time to WAKE UP!! Personally, I applaud Republican Leadership in holding firm to keeping members in line, for that is as it should be. I am also a strong proponent of bipartisan decisions, HOWEVER, when Republicans court Democrats to get in bed with them but see it as taboo to get in bed with Democrats that should send a resounding wake up call!!! Carefully read the following recent statements by Republican Commissioner Steve Basar who was “bullied” for doing the exact same thing Republicans had gotten Democrat Commissioner Justin Ford to do. What a slap in the face DEMOCRATS!!!! “Commissioner Steve Basar spoke to the “bullying” tactics of his fellow Republicans after he voted with Bailey and five other Democrats during the last commission meeting, sending the appointments back to committee, an unprecedented tactic. Basar argued that when six Republicans and one Democrat vote together, “that’s a bipartisan victory” but when a Republican sides with Democrats, the Republican should be thrown out”. (Memphis Flyer, October 8, 2014) Getting in bed with Republicans is NOT new and not a bad thing “IF” they are willing to do likewise. I am reminded of friends who not long ago did the same

thing. There is however a difference in cutting a deal and blatant betrayal, which is what happened with young Ford and the basis for the contempt amongst fellow Democrats. His behavior far exceeds that of Democratic State Senator Rosalind Kurita several years ago which resulted in her being out cast! I was in the audience the day the Ford votes were taken and it honestly looked as if the six Democrat Commissioners were in need of resuscitation! It was overwhelming being blind-sided by one someone reneging on a “gentlemen’s agreement”. Deal cutting when necessary should be for the overall benefit of those you serve NOT for personal gain. That seems to be forgotten by far too many elected officials and unfortunately without consequences. Where pray tell is the trust factor? I refuse to accept being treated less than equal and for those in leadership positions that choose to do otherwise, the Democratic Party needs to hold them accountable and Democrats as a whole should not forget! Business as usual should no longer be acceptable. We should never settle for anything less than fair and equal treatment! Do to otherwise desecrate the blood and tears of those that paved the way for us. We cannot forget!! Democratically Yours, Norma Lester

MEMPHIS, TN — While speaking recently at the 8th annual University of Memphis Freight Conference, Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) announced that the University has been selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) as the Southeast Regional Surface Transportation Workforce Center, along with nearly $1 million in federal funding to help launch the new Center. Congressman Cohen, who supported the University’s application for this prestigious selection that will help create jobs, is a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. “I was proud to support the University of Memphis’s efforts to be selected as the Department of Transportation’s Regional Surface Transportation Workforce Center, and I am pleased that it has been selected as one of only five such centers in the United States,” said Congressman Cohen.“The nearly $1 million in federal funding attached to this selection will help Memphis lead the way in transportation workforce development, create good-paying jobs here at home, and fur-

ther cement our status as the Mid-South’s transportation leader for years to come.” The $990,000 in federal funding attached to the University of Memphis’ selection today will fund the University’s new center, which aims to promote and expand successful workforce development activities and create jobs within the transportation industry, for 4 years. The DOT will select only 5 Regional Surface Transportation Workforce Development Centers throughout the nation, and the center at the University of Memphis will be the only such center in the entire Southwest region, which includes 12 states and Puerto Rico. Congressman Cohen has long fought to help Memphis maintain its status as a leader in the transportation and infrastructure industries. He has helped bring current Secretary on Transportation Anthony Foxx and then-Secretary Ray LaHood to the city and he worked for years to secure the $15 million TIGER grant that funds the Main to Main project.

Sam Deloria Delights in Straight Talk Dennis Domrzalski Special to The Tennessee Tribune

Sam Deloria has lived a life of luxury: the luxury of being able to speak his mind. The 67-year-old director of the American Indian Graduate Center in Albuquerque decided early on in his career that he wasn’t going to spend his life pulling his verbal or intellectual punches, and it doesn’t appear that he ever has. During 36 years as the head of the American Indian Law Center at the University of New Mexico, and the last two as director of the AIGC, the outspoken Deloria has made the squeamish squirm. “I was one of the ﬁrst ones to attack [former and convicted Navajo Nation president] Peter MacDonald publicly as not the kind of leadership that the Indian community should have,” Deloria says. “I don’t know how openly I called him a crook, but it was at a time when senators would jump on a plane and sit at his feet when he beckoned. “I was one of the few people who said, ‘What’s with this guy? He’s a phony. He’s a crook. He’s an egomaniac, and why are people treating him as if he is some kind of leader?’” A member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe of North and South Dakota, Deloria also was an early skeptic of Indian gaming, and one of the few Indian leaders in the 1970s who said that tribes should talk with state governments instead of suing them. He is no fan of identity politics, doesn’t tolerate condescending attitudes, and believes that Indians have to stop identifying themselves “in a stupid and self-destructive way.” “What you get for not speaking your mind is not worth the tradeoff of not having the fun of speaking your mind,” Deloria says. “To sit around and worry, ‘Who should I say this to? Who is not going to like this?’ That’s just not worth it. And it’s so much fun to say what you think and have people react to it. “I have had the ability to speak my mind, to speak for myself and to say exactly what I think. Now, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong; that’s the risk. But it has just been such a luxury to say exactly what I think.” Deloria noticed his impatience with people in the 1960s when he attended Yale University as an undergraduate, and then as a law school student. “I remember all the nice ladies who would lunch in Branford, Connecticut, when I was going to school,” Deloria says. “They would ﬁnd out about me and say, ‘Oh, you really must go back and help your people.’ And I would say, ‘Do you say that to the kids from Shaker Heights? You need to go back and help your people in Shaker Heights? Give me a break. What the hell business of it is yours what I must do?’” Deloria thought it was no one’s business what career path he should have taken, and he has carried that atti-

Sam Deloria

tude to his work and to the students he has helped over the years. The American Indian Graduate Center, which provides scholarships to Indian graduate students, doesn’t tell those students what they should study. “I say to students, ‘Do whatever you want; it’s your life,’” he adds. “’If there is a moral obligation for you to go back to your tribe and work for your tribe, that’s between you and your tribe. It’s got nothing to do with me. What right do I have to say that I have given you some public money to go to school, now I’m going to tell you what to do with your life? That’s stupid.’” Deloria grew up on the Pine Ridge Sioux reservation in South Dakota. His father was an Indian and an Episcopal priest who was in charge of all the churches in the eastern half of the reservation. His mother was white. The family moved to Iowa when Deloria was in middle school, and then eventually to New York state, where his father headed the church’s Indian work for the entire United States. After his junior year in high school, his parents decided to move back West, but Deloria stayed to ﬁnish his senior year at St. Albans School in Washington, D.C. He went to Yale, earned a degree in philosophy, and then went West, hoping eventually to land a job that would pay him to think deep thoughts. He put in a year with the South Dakota Department of Health, joined the War on Poverty at the University of South Dakota, and became the planning director for the Pine Ridge reservation. After being ﬁred from that job, Deloria decided to return to Yale to study law. Study, he did, but he never got his JD, which, in retrospect, he says

was probably by design. “I was one 20-page paper short of it,” he says. “But I didn’t want to practice law, because I guess I’ve got too much of an ego to sublimate myself to somebody else’s interests. Every doctor has to talk about a symptom; every lawyer has to hear about what a great case somebody has for them. I thought, ‘Do I really want to spend the rest of my life explaining to people why I’m not getting every wrongly convicted Indian out of jail? Why I’m not getting the Black Hills back for the Sioux, why I’m not doing this, why I’m not doing that?’” It was in 1971 that Deloria, at the urging of then-Law Center Director Fred Hart, came to New Mexico to join the center as an assistant. Within a year, Hart was named dean of UNM’s Law School, and Deloria was put in charge of the Law Center. In the more than 40 years it has been open, the Law Center has helped prepare more than 1,200 Indian students for law school. When the center started, there were 25 Indian lawyers in the U.S. Today there are more than 5,000. “I thought Fred was going to pay me money to think deep thoughts and be the policy guy and put my feet up on the table,” Deloria laughs. “I got the deep-thinking look down, but I’m not so sure about the deep thoughts.” Hart, now retired, disagrees. “Sam is one of the smartest people I have ever met,” he says. “Sam kept the center going all those many years. It’s much harder to keep a program alive than to start one. He will do anything for you as a friend. He is truly an outstanding person.”

Meharry Awards Students Unexpectedly With Scholarships

Dr. Andre´L. Churchwell was the keynote speaker at Meharry’s convocation and received an honorary degree

NASHVILLE, TN — For the first time in its history, Meharry Medical College awarded four students with academic scholarships covering 100 percent of their tuition costs for their final year of attendance. President and Chief Executive Officer, A. Cherrie Epps, Ph.D., along with Frank S. Royal Sr., M.D. ’68, chairman of the board of trustees, announced the award recipients at Meharry’s 139th Convocation held on Monday, October 13, 2014 at in the Cal Turner Family Center for Student Education. All four recipients were completely unaware of their gift and were selected based on financial need, merit and academic excellence and aggregate loan indebtedness. The cost of a health professions’ education is astronomical. Students choose to study at Meharry because they believe in, and uphold, the mission of the College: serving the underserved and underrepresented through education, research and patient care. One of the key objectives of President Epps, and her administration, is to be able to provide financial assistance to students. The Keynote Speaker and Honorary Degree Recipient was Dr. Andre´L. Churchwell, Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular

Institute, Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Senior Associate Dean for Diversity Affairs Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Also receiving an Honorary Degree was Bishop Joseph W. Walker III, D. Min. Mount Zion Baptist Church International Presiding Bishop-Elect Full Gospel Fellowship Meharry Medical College founded in 1876, is the nation’s largest private, independent historically black academic health center dedicated solely to educating minority and other health professionals. True to its heritage, it is a United Methodist Church affiliated institution. The College is particularly well known for its uniquely nurturing, highly effective educational programs; emerging preeminence in health disparities research; culturally sensitive, evidence-based health services and significant contribution to the diversity of the nation’s health professions workforce. Diverse Issues in Higher Education’s ranking of institutions annually lists Meharry as a leading national educator of African Americans with M.D. and D.D.S. degrees and Ph.D. degrees in the biomedical sciences.

Gone With The Wind Continued from page 1A and brought about the legal abolition of slavery. The Afro’s columnist Ralph Matthews warned Hollywood that it was on dangerous ground with GWTW: “This is more than a racial question; it is a matter of grave national concern, and the white guardians of the Ship of State should appreciate the danger. With half the world on fire with national and racial hatreds, this is no time to reopen old sores at home.” Black folks picketed from coast to coast. Some unions urged boycotts. In Chicago, the Defender called for “a mass protest” and in an editorial observed: “Gone With the Wind is propaganda, pure propaganda, crude propaganda. It is anti-Negro propaganda of the most vicious character. It is unAmerican propaganda. It is subversive.” In Philadelphia the president of the National Baptist Convention Inc. condemned the film as a “disgrace.” Across the pond, the Defender’s London correspondent reported, “Africans, West Indians, Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Ceylonese, Burmese and other colonials” boycotted the film and registered their objections in Parliament. Strangely, Roy Wilkins, the future NAACP chief, advised everyone to chill. In the Amsterdam News, Wilkins wrote: “It is my pleasure to report to my readers that in the lengthy and long-advertised film, Gone With the Wind, there is very little (almost nothing) over which the dark brothers and sisters can work up a good ‘mad.’ The authors of the film story have been exceptionally careful to avoid the dialogue in the Mitchell novel which, if transferred to the screen, would have been inflammable material.” Small favors. Not long before the first announcement of plans to turn Mitchell’s best-seller into a movie, the Los Angeles Sentinel in a page 1 editorial predicted a disaster. “This kind of a picture of the Old South is false, and worse than that, it is a libel on the entire Negro people,” the editors wrote on Jan. 28, 1937, while adding presciently that “our professional Hollywood hangers-on will be so blinded by the fact that a few Negroes will get jobs playing Uncle Tom and Aunt Dinah that they will think of nothing but praise for the studio that

produces the film and the director that hires these actors to help perpetrate these lies in celluloid.” In the months before roles were even filled, black newspapers were abuzz with speculation about who would win the plum roles, especially that of Scarlett’s faithful Mammy. Would it be Louise Beavers, best known then for her breakthrough role as the co-lead in the 1934 tearjerker Imitation of Life? Or would it be Lizzie McDuffie, an amateur thespian who found herself at the top of the social heap as a personal maid to the first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt? Both were apparently hired at various stages of the production but were ultimately replaced by Hattie McDaniel, who went on to become the first black Academy Award winner as best supporting actress in 1940. Amid the speculation about what the Courier referred to as “its financial effect upon the colored colony” of Los Angeles, a strong current of wariness and skepticism presaged what transpired decades later with Django Unchained and 12 Years a Slave: How would Hollywood treat the black characters? Would the film spew despised words like “nigger” and “darky” so liberally used in the novel? The California Eagle’s Earl J. Morris castigated black actors who auditioned for parts by reading scripts containing such words and urged readers to write to David O. Selznick, the producer, and to Will Hays, the movie industry’s chief censor. GWTW inspired a new sophistication in film criticism among writers like William L. Patterson in the Defender (“Gone With the Wind is a weapon of terror against black America. It is a weapon of lies and misrepresentations calculated to turn white America away from the democratic struggle and against Negroes”); Ben Davis in the Cleveland Call and Post (“The picture openly refers to the Negroes as ‘simple-minded darkies,’ resurrecting all the racial inferiority theories which science has discarded, and which Hitler and his fellow imperialists have picked up against the Jews and other minorities”); and Dan Burley in the Amsterdam News (“The David O. Selznick production of Gone With the Wind, representing an investment

To the dismay of editorialists and reviewers, black people flocked to GWTW when it reached theaters near them, like the Carver in Norfolk, Va., and the Liberty in Bedford, Va.; the Lincoln in Washington, D.C.; the Harlem in Baltimore; and the Victoria in New York City’s Harlem. Some columnists praised the film’s production values and performances. Just about everyone loved McDaniel, about whose performance Donald Bogle, the film historian, has written, “McDaniel’s Mammy becomes an all-seeing, all-hearing, all-knowing commentator and observer. She remarks. She annotates. She makes asides. She always opinionizes.” With the passage of time and a different appreciation of the slavery era, as evidenced by 12 Years a Slave winning the Oscar for best picture this year, has GWTW’s time gone with the wind? Trey Ellis, the novelist and screenwriter, thinks so. He puts it in a category with Leni Riefenstahl’s brilliantly rendered propaganda films for Hitler’s Third Reich: “It is in the service of something very pernicious.” Margo Jefferson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic, thought about that a few years ago as she watched the movie on TV. “As constructed entertainment, it kept holding me—the drive of the action, the characters, the melodrama. I kept watching it,” she told The Root. “At the same time, of course, I was snarling and growling and rolling my eyes in disgust moment after moment and also feeling, ‘God, it is very scary, the power of entertainment or artistic conventions to pull you in despite all your intellectual and emotional abhorrence.’” To anyone planning to watch GWTW now, she offers this advice: “Watch it well armed with political, social and race history, and approach it as real critics of how film manipulates, how it can turn even your own impulses and instincts against you.” E.R. Shipp, a Pulitzer Prize winner for commentary, has worked for the New York Times, the New York Daily News and the Washington Post. She is the journalist in residence at Morgan State University’s School of Global Journalism and Communication.

‘My Journey Through Depression’

By Shayna Rudd, Motivational Speaker, Author and 2008 Miss District of Columbia

On January 27, 2008 I opened my eyes and realized that despite the sun shining into my room, I was in darkness. I felt heavy, suicidal and embarrassed that I had not lived up to the perfect standard that had driven my life since growing up in West Philadelphia. It was the apex of my flirtation with depression and suicide; a dance that I learned to take the lead on just this year. My Story… I competed in the Miss America pageant in January of 2008. I had faith that I would win and it would fix my emotionally, bruised life. I can recall not allowing anyone to speak of the idea of me not winning in my presence. I successfully trained everyone around me to believe that this was the plan of God for my life and we were not to speak against it. I was driven by my vision of God making me ‘famous’ and with this belief I could finally prove to myself and others that I was special. However, I felt far from beautiful waking up on January 27, 2008. I felt like dying would be easier than dealing with the feelings of failure associated with my pageant loss. Since that day, I battled clinical depression alone and it controlled every decision I made. Decisions like which opportunities to accept, whether I had the strength to get up from my self-inflicted isolation, and who I chose to be in relationships with. Depression became my private life, while I led others to freedom publicly through my motivational speaking and coaching. My obsession with becoming Miss America became a toxic situation that added fuel to my depression. Dealing with feelings of disappointment and grief were compounded by hiding, superficiality and isolation. The combination of emotions had become my drug and in that moment I knew I had been flirting with depression too long and I needed assistance. While my depressed obsession led me to believe that God’s calling for me was to be Miss America, I

was missing his true calling for my life, to be a vessel to help emotionally liberate youth and women. Today I realize that God had a greater plan for me, one that involved building an inner beauty. If You are Suffering from Depression… Just like me, many young girls and women are hiding behind the dark veil of depression. My journey has shown me that the only way to heal is to acknowledge your condition and seek help. I need you to know that you are not crazy. You need love and care and you have to be autonomous about giving to yourself as well as surrounding yourself with people who will reflect the beauty of who you are. Six years, six months, or six days is too long to struggle alone. I encourage you to seek help, find circles of support and trust and share your journey with others. I am grateful that this year I had the courage to turn on the lights in my life and expose my truth. I stand with those in this fight for holistic freedom and I encourage you to know that there is nothing impossible when you decide that you are ready to be free About Shayna Rudd Miss Rudd is the founder

Nashville to ‘Sing for Sickle Cell’ at Benefit Concert By A.J. Dugger III

The Memphis-based Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee has recently expanded to Nashville. “We’re providing education to the community,” said Trevor Thompson, founder and CEO of The Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee. “Sickle cell is a hereditory blood disorder,” said Patrycya King Williams, a member of The Advisory Council for The Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee’s Nashville Chapter. “Normal blood cells are round. But people with sickle cells have cells more like a sickle. As they flow through the blood they get caught. That’s what causes the pain. There’s different levels of the disease.” Thompson used to get sick as a child but no one knew why. It wasn’t until his adult years that he discovered that he had Sickle Cell Disease. “All my life I thought I had the trait until I went into the Army. They told me I didn’t have the trait but I have the disease.” Thompson was shocked to discover the news. However, the revelation made

a lot of sense. “It was a relief to me because growing up, I would get sick and people would think I was faking. Even in the lab they wouldn’t see anything.” According to Thompson, sickle cell victims are vulnerable to weather changes. “I would get sick when the weather changed. Our bodies react to that. Back when I was a kid, the research wasn’t as highly developed as it is now.” In 2008, Thompson decided to do something to inform the Memphis community about Sickle Cell Disease. “I noticed we didn’t have our own organization here in Memphis. We didn’t have any community-based organizations to further the education about the disease or social services.” The organization was founded in Memphis but is expanding to Nashville and other areas. The Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee provides services for locations in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. Their services include assistance for utilities, burial, housing and transportation. “We have a transition house in Memphis for people who need temporary housing. We’re try-

Diabetes Expo to Be Held in Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA, TN — In observation of November as National Diabetes Awareness Month, Chattanooga’s Partners & Peers for Diabetes Care is hosting the second annual Diabetes Expo on November 8, 2014 at the Chattanooga First Church of the Nazarene, 5455 North Terrace, Chattanooga, TN 37411, from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. This community event will include educational sessions, cooking demonstrations, learning stations, and diabetes health fair exhibits to support people living with diabetes. The Diabetes Expo is free of charge, and door prizes will be given away at the end of the event. Partners & Peers for Diabetes Care is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization seeking to empower people with diabetes to actively participate in their health care through partnerships that promote trust and enhance learning. Partners & Peers is

based in Chattanooga, TN and focuses efforts on serving the diabetes community at large. Tennessee has one of the highest incidences of diabetes in the nation, affecting nearly 10 percent of the population in Hamilton County. The U.S. rates of diabetes are skyrocketing, with over 29 million Americans who have diabetes, costing our nation more than $175 billion per year in medical care and lost productivity. “The goal of this event is to connect members of our diabetes community with information and resources that can help them make better choices in management of their diabetes,” states Claire Blum, Program Coordinator of Partners &Peers for Diabetes Care. Workshop presenters will include physicians, certified diabetes educators, and healthcare professionals whose lives are touched by diabetes, who know from

personal experience that living well with diabetes takes courage and commitment to making healthy choices. As a member of our diabetes community and healthcare network, Partners & Peers for Diabetes Care would like to extend the opportunity for organizations within our community to partner with them as exhibitors at the Diabetes Expo. Ms. Blum states that “exhibitors at the Expo will help participants learn about medical and holistic treatment options, and community resources that support healthy lifestyle choices. They will demonstrate the latest and greatest diabetes technologies.” If you would like to participate, please contact Claire Blum, Program Coordinator, Partners & Peers for Diabetes Care, at 423-505-0558, or email at cblum@partnersandpeers. org. Space is limited. Please call now.

ing to duplicate that success in the Middle Tennessee area,” explained Thompson. Williams, like Thompson, has been personally affected by Sickle Cell. “My daughter is 13 and she has the Sickle Cell Trait,” Williams said. “Out of our three children we only have one child that is the trait carrier. We want people to be aware of what’s going on and want to minimize the amount of children born into the world with Sickle Cell.” Williams noticed that the Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee did not have an office in Nashville until recently. “When I reached out to him (Thompson) about the concert I wanted to do here, he asked me if I’d like to be on the Advisory Council

for the Nashville Chapter,” she said. “We (the council) meet with people and their families. We try to get feedback from them to meet their needs.” Williams and her company, PK Williams Enterprises, are teaming with The Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee to host a benefit concert on Oct.19 at B.B. King’s club in Nashville called “Sing For Sickle Cell.” The event will feature entertainment by celebrity guests including Shannon Sanders, Cole Robb, Michelle Vida, Chris Sanders, Kevin Dyson, J Whaley and more.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

BY RON WYNN Arizona Diamondbacks Make History There aren’t many ways left to make history in sporting circles, but the Arizona Diamondbacks did just that last week. When De Jon Parker and former MLB pitcher turned agent Dave Stewart, were named to head the Diamondbacks, it marked the first time ever that any baseball team has had its day-today operations run exclusively by Blacks. Some of the credit for this goes to former manager and now overall head of baseball operations Tony LaRussa. The team’s CEO also must be credited for recognizing the importance of having Blacks in legitimate management positions rather than simply figureheads or symbolic hires. There’s also no question that these two men have earned a shot to run a ball club. Both are baseball lifers, well schooled in every facet of an operation. Stewart will be the person most directly responsible for the Diamondbacks’ look on the field. As the GM, he’ll be the person to initiate trades, make decisions on free agency and preside over the entire operation from the top down to the team’s rookie league franchise. His first big decision will be whether to retain field manager Kirk Gibson, who was viewed quite favorably a couple of years ago, but has now guided the Diamondbacks to consecutive bottom of the pack finishes. Stewart was noncommittal when asked at the introductory press conference whether he was going to retain Gibson. Chances are strong he’ll want someone of his own choosing rather than sticking with what’s currently there now. Parker talked about his longtime love for baseball, and his realization early in life he didn’t have the ability to be a Major League ballplayer. He also paid tribute to the late Bill Lucas, baseball’s first Black GM when hired by the Braves in 1976. Management is one of two final frontiers for Blacks in sports, the other one being ownership. At least at the pro level, coaches are no big deal today. Even in MLB, there are enough Black managers and coaches now that it’s no big deal when one gets hired. But things are nowhere near that good at the higher executive levels. The number of GMs in the NBA, NFL or MLB is nowhere near the number of players, even in MLB, which currently has only eight percent of its workforce being Black Americans. Even the NBA, the league most acclaimed for its diversity, doesn’t have that many Black GMs or player personnel people, although it is getting better in that regard. High profile Super Bowl winners like Ozzie Newsome in Baltimore and Jerry Reese in New York have made it easier for Blacks to be hired as GMs in the NFL. The Rooney Rule, which says when teams have openings at every level from coach on at least one minority must be interviewed for the position. There are those who feel this leads to a bunch of token interviews, but it’s also resulted in some people getting jobs that weren’t necessarily designed for Blacks. Another key factor in the Diamondbacks hiring is the placing of Parker in a role where he can also hire and fire. Associations and friendships are also part of any hiring process, and for too long there have not been Blacks in positions of power with the ability to hire other Blacks they know deserve an opportunity. Any Black person who takes one of these high profile jobs knows they could be sacked anytime. Indeed, despite his two Super Bowl titles, there are rumors that some New York Giants’ fans aren’t happy with Reese. Likewise, Oakland Raiders’ fans are fed up with losing, and have little patience. GM Reggie MacKenzie knows he’s under fire, but insists he’s not resigning, and feels progress is right around the corner. Thus, while asking why any sane person would want to be in the pressure cooker of management for a pro sports team, we congratulate the duo of De Jon Parker and Dave Stewart. We can only hope that they will have consistent success, or at minimum return the Diamondbacks to the playoffs. Should they do that, everyone will be happy.

Titans Snap Losing Streak By Ron Wynn

The Tennessee Titans snapped their four game losing streak Sunday at LP Field, edging the Jacksonville Jaguars 16-14. But it didn’t come easy, and they nearly suffered a second straight disastrous late collapse. What seemed a sure nine-point win suddenly became a close call after the Titans failed to wrap things up in the final three minutes. It took heroics from defensive lineman Sammie Hill to prevent a fifth straight loss. The Titans were leading 16-7 and had the ball with just those three minutes remaining in the game. But first came three ineffective offensive plays that took less than two minutes off the clock (1:42). Second came a punt that put the Jaguars in business at their own 37 yard line. Third, the defense let them drive 63 yards and score a touchdown, which with the extra point made the score 16-14. Fourth, the Jaguars recovered an onside kick, despite the fact the Titans initially had it under control. The Jags’ kicker Josh Scobee has hit a career-long 59 yarder before, and the game-winning kick was 55 yards. But fortunately for Tennessee, Hill was able to find a gap in the Jacksonville blocking scheme and exploit it. His block ended the game, Tennessee’s losing streak, and retained what little bit of interest the city’s fan base still has in the Titans’ season. It also helped make up (somewhat) for last Sunday’s embarrassing loss where the team blew a 25-point lead. Still, it wasn’t exactly a masterpiece. With starting QB Jake Locker out again with an injury, Charlie Whitehurst did what was necessary in leading the Titans on four scoring drives, three more than 60 yards. He completed 17 of 28 passes for 233 yards, with no interceptions. The Jaguars did sack him three times, but he avoided making any big mistakes. Rookie Bishop Sankey had his best game, getting 18 carries and gaining 61 yards. However the rushing game is still far from where it needs to be, as Titans’ runners overall gained only 70 yards on 24 carries (2.9). Dexter McCluster did contribute in the passing game, getting six receptions for 52 yards. The big news in that aspect was the continued improved play of Justin Hunter, a

disappointment in some earlier games. Hunter had three catches for 77 yards, including one of 38. Another 22-yard reception set up the Titans’ only touchdown. Tight end Delanie Walker also had three catches for 57 yards, including a 37-yarder. The Jaguars have turned over the QB reins to rookie Blake Bortles, who completed 32 of 46 passes for 386 yards and one touchdown. He had one interception and was sacked six times, as the Titans’ finally got some defensive pressure from both the defensive line and the linebackers. Shaun Phillips got the first sack of the season for the outside linebackers, and Kamerion Wimbley later added another one. Rookie linebacker Avery Williamson recovered a fumble that was forced by cornerback Jason McCourty, and defensive lineman Jurrell Casey had two sacks, his fifth multiple sack game. Casey had nine overall tackles, three for losses and also three QB hits. He now leads the Titans with four sacks this season. Cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson had his best game by far. Besides tying McCourty for most tackles on defense (11), he had an interception and defended two other passes. Wreh-Wilson entered the game ranked dead last among 102 cornerbacks according to Pro Football Focus, but returned with a vengeance this week. His interception set up a third

quarter field goal. “We finally had some guys make some plays, Titans’ head coach Ken Whisenhunt said on radio. “We got some good pressure on the quarterback, and when we needed it, guys stepped up and did what they needed to do. It feels really good to get a win, especially at home. We still have plenty of work to do, but it feels good to get this one, especially after what happened last week.” Whitehurst, whose QB rating this season is 98.3, earned his second win as an NFL starter and first with the Titans. No one knows yet when Locker will return, but for now he’s the person in charge of the offense. While 16 points is nothing to get overly excited about, when you’ve lost four in a row, any win’s a good one, and that’s how the Titans feel about beating the Jaguars.

TSU Handed Defeat By Jacksonville State By Ron Wynn

A once promising season continued to go bad for the Tennessee State Tigers Saturday, as they were edged 27-20 by eighth ranked Jacksonville State at Hale Stadium. It was the ﬁrst loss for the Tigers at the Hole since 1997, and dropped them to 1-2 in the OVC (4-3 overall). Their hopes of being a conference champion and also returning to the FCS playoffs have taken a severe hit over the last two weeks. One of two persistent problems plaguing TSU all season has been erratic offense (the other is the kicking game). It proved especially costly Saturday, as the TSU offense committed six turnovers. Four of them were interceptions from QB Mike German, the most costly being the ﬁnal one that came with 16 seconds left in the game as Jacksonville cornerback Jermaine Hough picked off a pass in the end zone. The six turnovers (the other two were fumbles by German and center Jhaquelle Love) were a school record. It would be hard to overcome six turnovers against a bad team, and impossible against a squad ranked in the Top 10. The Tigers also got behind early and couldn’t overcome a 13-3 halftime

deﬁcit. They did outscore JSU 17-14 in the third quarter, but were never able to even things or take the lead. QB Mike German had excellent numbers statistically other than the four interceptions. He completed 32 of 50 passes overall, amassing 364 yards and continuing the pattern of ﬁnding multiple receivers. He completed passes to eight different ones this week, after hitting 13 different ones against SEMO.

Only one of the turnovers resulted in points, and that wasn’t off any interceptions. German’s ﬁrswt quarter fumble came at the Tigers’ 48-yard line. JSU QB needed only two more plays before he hit Bo Brummel with a 16-yard touchdown pass that gave JSU the early 7-3 lead. Senior safety Daniel Fitzpatrick returned to action and was a defensive force after some early troubles. He got his ﬁrst interception of the sea-

son, recovered a fumble and had almost 10 tackles (9.5). That was the good news. The not so good news was he lost a receiver on a play that resulted in a touchdown, and was later out of position on what ended as a 47-yard gain. But for someone who didn’t prac-

tice all week and wasn’t even in the lineup for sure until 15 minutes prior to kickoff, he had a solid game. TSU got off to a good start, getting a 46-yard field goal at the 10:14 mark for a quick 3-0 lead. But the offense faltered the rest of the first quarter, while JSU was scoring twice. The Tigers did block one of the extra-point tries. Their offense finally came alive in the third quarter. Besides a 20-yard field goal, there was a TD reception by Garlington and a TD run by German. Unfortunately, those were sandwiched around a pair of JSU touchdowns, the last coming with less than four minutes (3:32) remaining. The Tigers last score came with no time on the clock, and did little except narrow the final scoring margin. German admitted after the game that there are some problems in the passing offense that need to be fixed. Despite outgaining JSU 407 yards to 403, four interceptions are simply too many, especially against a quality opponent. Head coach Rod Reed credited his team with fighting hard till the end, but acknowledged that the turnovers took their toll.

Commodores Get Second Win of Season By Ron Wynn

Things never seem to come easy for the Vanderbilt Commodores, who edged Charleston Southern 21-20 Saturday night at home. It was their second victory this season, and avoided the ugly distinction of losing a game to an FCS school. It also ended a three-game losing streak, while also removing Charleston Southern from the ranks of the unbeaten. The win saw a new person take over at QB for the Commodores. Projected starter Steven Rivers was in a walking boot. Previous starter Pat Robinette missed a third straight game, out with concussion symptoms. Freshman Wade Freeback opened at QB, but was soon replaced by Johnny McCrary. McCrary, a redshirt freshman had not seen any action since a dismal performance in the opener at Temple, where he threw three passes and had two of them intercepted. But this time, his first pass resulted in a touchdown as C.J. Duncan took advantage of confusion in the Charleston Southern secondary, breaking free to catch a 65-yard TD pass off a play-action fake. That was followed later by an eight-yard scoring run from Dallas Rivers, and a two-point conversion. Those plays, coupled with a pair of field goals from Tommy Openshaw, provided the Commodores with a 21-10 halftime lead. The only touchdown from

Vandy got back on the winning track Saturday night, holding off previously undefeated Charleston 21-20 at home, with their defensive unit making a key stop late in the fourth quarter.

However, what was considered a safe lead didn’t prove the case, especially when Vanderbilt’s offense stalled throughout the second half. Charleston Southern had a 10 play, 78-yard third quarter drive, capped by Zachary Frazier’s 10-yard touchdown run. That closed the gap to 21-17. After another ineffective Vanderbilt series, Charleston South had another scoring drive. This one took nine plays and covered 79 yards. It resulted in a 30-yard field at the 10:19 mark

Charleston Southern to punt. The Commodores held on for a much needed victory, improving their record to 2-5. Charleston Southern is now 5-1, but they outscored Vanderbilt 10-0 in the second half and outgained the Commodores 389 yards to 295 in total offense. Vanderbilt did get a spark from the duo of McCrary and Duncan. McCrary completed 10 of 16 passes with one touchdown and one interception. Duncan enjoyed a

career-high day for receptions, with seven for 119 yards and one touchdown. The rushing load was divided between Rivers and Ralph Webb. Webb led in both carries and yardage, gaining 56 on 15 attempts. Rivers added 47 on 11 carries. Vanderbilt barely gained 100 yards (106) in rushing. The Commodores now get a most needed bye week before they return to conference play on the road Oct. 25 against Missouri. Most likely McCrary is the QB for now, but head coach Derek Mason has shown he has no problems with substituting at that position. If they hope to at least get one or two SEC wins, the Commodores have to follow much of the formula they used to win this game. First, they got ahead for the first time all season in the first quarter with a field goal. Second, they mostly avoided costly turnovers. Third, they took advantage of opportunities when they got them and scored a couple of touchdowns rather than depending solely on field goals. Fourth and most important, the defense held when it needed to do so. As a result, Vanderbilt can at least say it’s won two of the three games this season where they were clear favorites. Otherwise, it’s been a rugged season so far, but at least the second half got off to a good start.

MTSU Loses to Marshall UT Dispatches Chattanooga By Ron Wynn

It was a match for first place in Conference USA, and the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders came out on the short end of it Saturday. Undefeated Marshall showed why they’re getting national attention as they blew past MTSU 49-24 in a home game that saw the Thundering Herd improve their record to 2-0 in C-USA (6-0 overall). The Blue Raiders lost their first conference game, and are 3-1 (4-3 overall). Fans who turned into Fox Sports Net anticipating the contest didn’t get to see the early moments. Problems with the satellite transmission resulted in the first 11 minutes not making it onto the airwaves. By the time it did, the Blue Raiders were already behind 14-0, and things never got any better. Marshall’s big guns are QB Rakeem Cato and running back Devon Johnson, who leads C-USA in rushing. Johnson proved unstoppable Saturday, gaining 134 yards and scoring three touchdowns Cato had two passing touchdowns and added another rushing. He was 17 of 33 for 337 yards with the two TDs and one interception. But MTSU head coach Rick Stockstill paid particular tribute to Johnson, saying he was the main reason for Marshall’s victory. “I don’t want to take anything away from (Marshall QB) Rakeem Cato and the receivers, but to me that’s the difference in their offense this year,” Stockstill told Gannett Tennessee. “They don’t have to rely on Cato throwing the ball on every down as they did last year. (Johnson) is great in short yardage. He’s great on early downs. If he gets to the second level, now you’ve got defensive backs trying to tackle a 250-pound back and that’s hard to do. But Cato’s impact shouldn’t be minimized. Marshall had 10 plays of more than 20 yards, and nine of them came from Cato passes. He tied Seattle QB Russell Wilson’s NCAA record of 38 straight games with a TD pass in the second quarter, and can break it next week against Florida International. Cato’s 337 yards and Marshall’s 252 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground proved too much for MTSU to overcome. MTSU QB Austin Grammer did his best to rally his team. Grammer ended with 25 completions in 37 attempts, gaining 201 yards and throwing for two touchdowns with one interception. Unfortunately, the Tigers’ defense much of the day proved unable to stop Marshall’s consistent marches up and down the field. The Thundering Herd scored 14 points in the first, second and third quarters. They were ahead 28-17 at the half. Their third quarter

explosion pushed the margin to 42-17, and they eventually were ahead 48-17 until a late MTSU touchdown. Besides Grammer, MTSU’s other offensive star was running back Jordan Parker. He had his second big rushing game this season, gaining 100 yards on 14 carries and also catching a touchdown pass. Running back Shane Tucker, despite battling a sore shoulder, caught a fouryard TD pass for his ninth touchdown this season. Tyler Barron became the first MTSU tight end to catch a pass this year when he grabbed a 14-yarder from Grammer in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Marcus Henry saw his consecutive game reception streak snapped at 19. Given that Marshall had over 600 yards of total offense and scored 48 points, it’s hard to cite any defensive player for excellence, but defensive end Shubert Bastien had a career high 11 tackles as well as a sack. MTSU’s defensive problems in the secondary continued as well. “They hit the deep ball on us,” Stockstill said. “At times we covered it pretty good. They got some pass interference calls. Other times, they made some really good individual catches. Other times they got behind us. I think that’s probably the best ball that Cato throws is the deep ball. He’s got some really talented receivers that went out and made plays.” Stockstill added he didn’t think the loss established Marshall as C-USA’s top team. “Like I said earlier in the week, they didn’t crown Marshall the (C-USA) champion (Saturday),” Stockstill said. “They didn’t crown us either, (but there’s a long way to go in this season.” MTSU has another key C-USA game Saturday, but this time it’s at home. They entertain UAB, who are tied for third with FIU, both at 2-1. MTSU is now second at 3-1 with Marshall atop the field at 2-0.

The University of Tennessee did what they were supposed to do Saturday, easily routing Chattanooga 45-10 at Neyland Stadium to make a homecoming crowd happy. They also ended a three-game losing streak, turning a close game after one quarter into a blowout with 17 points in the second quarter and 14 in the third. During that same period their defense held the Mocs to a lone field goal, and by the time they picked up a fourth-quarter TD they were behind 45-3. Tennessee evened their season record at 3-3, though they remain winless in the SEC. Still, it was the kind of win that a battered Tennessee squad needed, following a tough road loss to Georgia and an even tougher home defeat to Florida. They were clearly superior to the outmanned Chattanooga team, an FCS school. However, not everything was good about this game, despite the margin of victory. The first problem was another injury to a player at a spot where UT is already thin. Senior Devon Young left the game with what was later pronounced “multiple broken ribs.” The Vols were already missing three of their best running backs, and the Young loss only makes things worse. Tennessee used eight different players at various times to run the ball. Collectively, their totals were 123 yards on

42 carries, only 2.9 yards per attempt. That certainly isn’t something that will help against quality opposition. Marlin Lane was the announced starter at tailback, but he never made an appearance. UT head coach Butch Jones said his ankle injury hadn’t healed enough for him to play. Jalen Hurd had only two carries for seven yards, as he’s battling a shoulder injury. In addition to those losses, wide receiver Marquez North left with a sore knee and didn’t return. “Our training room will be working overtime, “ Jones told the Associated Press. Another recurring problem was offensive line play, which has been very erratic all year due to the presence of young and inexperienced linemen. Chattanooga got five sacks, a season high. But the season sack total to date is 23, the same as last year. “It’s disappointing because we have to take more pride in our one-on-one matchups,” junior center Mack Crowder said. “We can’t be getting beat like that, especially against Chattanooga but really against any opponent.” “We have to trust our technique,” Jones said. “So some of it was technique, some of it was getting beat one-on-one and some of it was a different player. So all you can do is get back to work. Yet the offensive fireworks were so potent they balanced out the various problems. QB Justin Worley had three touchdown

passes while completing 19 of 24 passes for 198 yards. He also had one fumble during a sack. Two of Worley’s TD passes came to wide receiver Jonathan Johnson, his first two. Derrell Scott made his UT debut at running back, and led the rushers with 42 yards on nine carries. Freshman Evan Berry had a 68 yard kickoff return with his brother, Eric, former UT standout safety and now an all-pro for Kansas City, in the stands. The defense held Chattanooga to less than 100 passing yards (96). They managed to break the 100-yard rushing mark as a team (105), but never seriously mounted much offense until the fourth quarter, when Tennessee emptied the bench and pulled the starters. The backfield situation led to Worley doing far more rushing than usual. Due to the sacks, his 10 carries only added up to a negative one in total yardage. But he had touchdown runs of eight and one yard, becoming the first UT QB to be involved with five scoring plays since Tyler Bray in 2012. “It was there, and he took it,” Jones said. “I thought Justin was more aggressive in his mindset, in his thinking, in the way he played the game. He played confident, which is what we’re going to continue to need as we move forward.” Tennessee returns to SEC action Saturday with a game against the conference’s hottest team Ole Miss in Oxford.

Next Week in The Tribune:

The Titans hit the road for a trip to Washington, a team that’s had nearly as many problems winning as they have. Tennessee tries to snap its SEC losing streak, but has a very tough opponent in Ole Miss on the road. The Rebels are now ranked number three in the nation. MTSU tries to bounce back from a tough loss at Marshall, as UAB comes to Murfressboro. TSU has another home game at the Hole, this one against UT Martin. Plus the National and American League Championship Series near their end, with the winners slated for the World Series. The NHL season has begun, and the Predators won their first two home games. The Grizzlies are playing exhibition games, with the NBA regular season slated to open next week. All this and more next week in the Tennessee Tribune.

The McGavock High School Raiders (7-1 Overall, 4-1 Metro and 4-1 12AAA) defense wanted to make a statement against the Hunters Lane Warriors (3-5, 3-4, 2-3) and what a statement they made in pitching a 33-0 shutout this past Friday night in District 12AAA action. The Raiders defense held Hunters Lane to just 130 yards of total offense and caused four turnovers to take control of the game early. McGavock senior linebacker Matthew Turner was named co Player of the Game leading the way with eight tackles and two sacks for the Raiders defense. “This was a big win for us and our defense did our job by making them have to go a long field,” said Turner. Turner and the defense made a big stop on 4th down to stop a Hunters Lane scoring threat early in the first half. The other WTN Tribune Sports Radio Player of the Game was McGavock QB Demontez Carlton who had 134 yards and two touchdowns on the ground and another 80 yards passing on the night.

the smaller parts and the extras we used are from this area. The wealth of talent in the Middle Tennessee area is just amazing. The Nashville/Franklin area is such a beautiful part of the country,” says Santorum, a former U.S. senator and GOP presidential candidate. During the almost 4-week film shoot, the movie used nearly 30 Tennessee crew members and more than half of the 22-member cast is local. EchoLight Studios produces and distributes high-quality movies about faith and family. Last Best Summer Ever is the story of Scott and Caleb Burns, a father and son who struggle to return to a normal life after the loss of beloved wife and mother, Maria. Faced with the news that he and his father will be moving to a different town, Caleb embarks on one great last summer adventure with his friends, a journey that turns out to be a life changing experience for everyone. Twelveyear-old Devion Harris stars as “Blake,” who’s the best friend to character “Caleb.” The young actor has appeared in several national TV commercials, films

and has a recurring role on Tyler Perry’s hit show Love Thy Neighbor. It was a real life situation that helped Devion prepare for his character in the film. He shares, “I’m actually the good friend of boy who lost his mom. I got the role for this film a little after that happened to my friend. So I think it helped me get ready to do this film.” Even though Devion landed the part, he readily admits that he wasn’t exactly thrilled with his audition tape he sent to the casting director. The film’s producers obviously didn’t agree with his opinion. Last Best Summer is scheduled for release in May 2015, and will be distributed to various churches around the country. “We have a plan to

distribute the film to over 1,000 churches throughout the U.S. So, instead of movie theaters, we’ll be showing the film at churches. This plans works for the film and for the churches as well,” says Mr. Santorum. EchoLight plans on making four movies per year, each budgeted at less than $3 million, with family-oriented themes. The studio has a full film distribution platform servicing theatrical, home video, digital/VOD and broadcast in both US domestic and international markets. According to their website the company is open for submissions to film makers with projects that fit the company’s requirements. Visit: http://echolight. com/info/about.php

RYCH’S CORNER

McWilliams on Real Husbands of Hollywood By Rych McCain www.twitter.com and Facebook (Like Me) www.rychmccainhollyhoodnotes.blogspot.com

Actress Cynthia Kaye McWilliams is not only handling her role as Trina Shaw, entertainment attorney to the stars, but she has firmly established herself on BET’s “Real Husbands of Hollywood.” The show has entered its second season full steam ahead. The Berlin, Germany born McWilliams was basically reared in Kansas City, Kansas and is a graduate from the prestigious Theater School of DePaul University in Chicago. According to McWilliams, the school was so tough that you not only had to audition to get in, but you had to audition every year to stay in. After graduation McWilliams perfected her acting chops on the theater scene in Chicago and developed a vibrant voiceover career as well. Ms. McWilliams later packed up her dreams and moved to L A when the finished preparation and timing was right. McWilliams didn’t exactly get the best start out of the blocks. The first two pilots that she landed both were not picked up and cancelled. How did that experience help shape her resolve and determination? She laughs, “Oh wow you’re going to start off with that huh? Start off with all of the disappointments thank you.” But getting back to the question she says “Yeah, it was a little character building and a little skin thickening but I mean honestly, that was not the beginning of anything for me. I’ve been doing this since I was 11. I started writing plays and working in theater, then I went to college. We had a cut system and it was very cut throat so, I’m no stranger to both competition and disappointment.” What was her experience audition-

ing for the show with superstar Kevin Hart, who is also one of the producers? McWilliams lights up, “I did an improvised session with Kevin and that was unbelievably surreal because at that time I had never met him and he was really just beginning to pop and be like this huge crossover performer and, so I felt both humbled and excited to be in that room and by the end of it I knew it was going to work. I didn’t get the call until weeks later but I knew it was going to happen because we had an incredible chemistry. Being the only female on the cast will draw the attention of other actresses who will observe how she handles it thus providing a role model. She may even, be considered a trailblazer for the same reason. McWilliams is humble at that notion and responds, “Thank you so much for saying I’m a trailblazer. I do not think of that at all. I’m always still in deference to many of the trailblazers before me and so many fantastic actresses that I hope to make proud one day. I hope I’m making them proud now.’

From his big screen and television roles to his theater and entrepreneurial skills, Boris Kodjoe has proven to be one of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents. He is probably best known for his role as Damon Carter on the TV series “Soul Food.” He can currently be seen opposite Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon and JB Smoove on another hit sitcom, “The Real Husbands of Hollywood,” and will soon be starring in the upcoming series “Members Only” which will premiere this fall on ABC. And on the big screen, Boris was recently seen reprising his role as Luther West in the box ofﬁce hit Resident Evil: Retribution, as well as in Baggage Claim opposite Paula Patton, Derek Luke and Trey Songz. Boris and his brother Patrick have launched the clothing company ALFA (Affordable Luxury For All), bringing the luxury of custom-made clothing to every man and woman in America at affordable prices. The line can be accessed at www. worldofalfa.com. But his primary personal interest is to raise funds for Sophie’s Voice Foundation (www. sophiesvoicefoundation.

org), a charity he started with his wife in honor of his daughter Sophie, who was diagnosed with spina biﬁda at birth. Here, Boris discusses his new movie, Addicted, the screen adaptation of the steamy best-seller by Zane. KW: Now, let me ask you about the movie. What interested you in Addicted? Were you already a Zane fan? BK: I wasn’t as aware of her before I read the script. That’s when I began to ﬁnd out more and more about Zane, her tremendous fan base, and all of her books. KW: How did you like the idea of playing the aggrieved party instead of the hunk the female lead is after? BK: It was interesting to me, because he went from being a victim to being a protagonist, in a way, once he found out that his wife had been leading this parallel life. So, the character had to deal wiith all kinds of obstacles, and ups-and-downs that I found intriguing. KW: Tell me a little about what it was like making this movie. BK: It was great. It was almost like a family affair. I’ve known [director] Bille Woodruff for years, as well as [fellow cast members] Tyson [Beckford], Sharon [Leal] and everybody. So, it was quite easy to trust my director. My job was basically to make Sharon feel comfortable and protected. She was so courageous and vulnerable, and did such an amazing job. And I was sort of the safety net for her to do all that. KW: Was there any tension on the set between Zane, the author of the

novel, and Bille in terms of their vision for the screen adaptation? BK: No, they got all of that out of the way before we started shooting. They had numerous meetings, and made sure they were on the same page. To make a movie like that, you really have to trust your director, and they were on the same page. KW: What message do you think people will take away from? BK: It’s about

Actor Boris Kodjoe

communication, weathering the storms, and making sure you really understand each other. In a situation like that, especially where addiction is involved, that lines of communication are open for the spouse not only to understand but to be ready to jump in and help. In the ﬁlm, you see how difﬁcult it can be because there’s guilt, there’s blame, there’s doubt, and therapy comes into play, as well. And it encourages the audience to engage in conversation after seeing the movie, which is great, too.

Brain Boosters to Prevent Memory Loss WebMD Feature By Virginia Anderson, Mary Jo DiLonardo Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD

Aging is a part of life, but there are plenty of things you can try to help keep your memory sharp. Get Up and Go Exercise regularly. It’s one of the best things you can do to help prevent age-related memory loss. Moving boosts blood flow to your brain and helps nerve cells in the part of brain that controls your memory. If you’re not active now, check with your doctor to see if there’s anything you shouldn’t do. Then get moving. Often, water exercises are great, because they aren’t hard on your joints -- but you can still get a good workout for your heart and lungs. Try to get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 days a week. Eat Right for Your Brain One of the best diets for your brain is also good for your heart, says aging specialist Tiffany Hughes, PhD. She is a research assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. “We know that if your heart’s not healthy and it’s not pumping blood and oxygen to your brain, that can have a negative effect on your brain health,” she says. So, load up on vegetables and fruits. Choose whole grains instead of processed refined grains. Cut back on unhealthy trans and saturated fats. Choose low-fat protein foods like fish, skinless chicken or turkey breast, extra-lean cuts of meat, and beans. Fruits and vegetables are especially good because they’re rich in antioxidants, which help protect damage to brain cells. Fill up on antioxidant-rich leafy greens, berries, and tomatoes. Work Your Mind Whether it’s crossword puzzles or Sudoku, computer games or mahjongg, exercising your brain keeps it working, says Amy R. Ehrlich, MD. She is associate chief of geriatrics at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. “I encourage people to find new activities that are stimulating, that engage them, that keep them using different parts of their mind than they used when they were

working,” she says. Find activities that are challenging and fun and will keep you motivated to do them every day. Try to learn a new language or play an instrument. Take a continuing education class or dance classes. Like physical exercise, mental exercise will be easier to do if you enjoy it.

Be Social Try to be part of your community. It gets you engaged in conversations and activities, and keeps you thinking, talking, laughing, and planning -- all important ways to keep your mind nimble. Studies show that people over 50 who have strong ties with family, friends, and community groups have less memory loss than people who are more isolated. Socializing may not be the only reason why this happens, but it’s one more good reason to join up with friends to exercise, volunteer, or have dinner. Or you can try new activities to make new bonds. The more active you are, the more your brain is working.

Sleep Well It can be harder to get enough sleep as you get older. But when your brain doesn’t rest, you can have problems remembering and concentrating. So try to get at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night. Set up good sleep habits by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. Also, create a calming routine for yourself before bed. If you nap during the day, keep the nap short, no more than 30-60 minutes. Try not to nap after 4 p.m., since that can make it harder to fall asleep at night. If you take sleeping pills to help you sleep, know that they can make you groggy the following day and cause memory loss. Fight Stress When you’re anxious or under pressure, your body makes stress hormones. That helps when it’s an emergency. But having high levels of these hormones for too long can hamper your memory. When you’re feeling stressed, find things that help you relax -- maybe yoga, tai chi, deep breathing, talking with a friend, or meditation. Learn Memory Tricks These strategies can help you remember, whether it’s finding your car keys or knowing your new neighbor’s name. Make a routine. Always put often-used items, like your glasses, keys, wallet, and phone, in the same place every time. Write it down. Jot down things you need to remember -- like appointments or grocery items you need -- as soon as you think of them. Set an alarm. It can help you get to places on time or remember to take medications. Leave yourself reminder notes. Learn and repeat. To remember names, use the name often in conversation. Try to link the name with a picture that reminds you of that person.

God’s Grace is Still Sufficient: The Benefits of Being Content Rev. Jason Curry, Phd. of Fisk Memorial Chapel To be sure, there are times when God responds to our prayers in a manner that is favorable to us. For example, some people have prayed for confidence during a job interview or for the actual job itself, and God, through His generous love and mercy, granted them the desires of their heart. There are also times when God’s plan for our lives supersedes our own. Even though people have prayed for years to go somewhere, God seemed to have a plan for them to remain in the same city, remain at the same place of employment or remain around the same set of friends or colleagues. God answers prayers, but we are forever reminded by the prophet Isaiah: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD (Isaiah 55:8).” God loved the Apostle Paul, and Paul prayed to God on three separate occasions to have a thorn removed from his side (2 Corinthians 12:8). The scriptures tell us that God did not remove the thorn; however, He told Paul: “My grace is sufficient for thee:

REV. JASON CURRY for my strength is made perfect in weakness… (2 Corinthians 12:9).” Indeed, while preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul experienced divine inspiration and human incarceration, blessings from God and beatings from people (Acts 16:37), heavenly consecration and consistent condemnation. However, through the ups and downs, the tragedies and triumphs, the progress and pain of the Christian experience Paul said: “…I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content (Philippians 4:11).” In the same letter, Paul also said: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).”

There is value in waiting on the Lord. There are also benefits to being content with what God has given us and where God has placed us in our lives. I’ve provided pastoral counseling to many people who think that God is no longer concerned with their well being. They’ve turn to drugs, wasteful spending, and unproductive relationships because they are not content with the manifold blessings (e.g., food, family, jobs, health, strength, friends, shelter, hope, youth or opportunity) that God has already provided for them. Being content with the temporary or permanent plan that God has for our lives helps us to see the tremendous blessings He is constantly bestowing upon us. Even if we pray to God and God decides not to remove some of the “thorns” of our lives (e.g., financial, familial and geographic burdens), it is important to know that God’s grace, which is God’s love, is still sufficient. Nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:39), and God’s love will sustain us now, henceforth and forevermore.

Love, Sex & Marriage By Dr. Chris Jackson, NashvilleMarriageNetwork.com

Give Your Marriage a Boost

Any marriage or relationship can become sluggish over time. Some mistake marital or relational sluggishness for a loss or lapse of love. Others accept a boring marriage as par for the course and thus they participate in perpetuating the myth of marital mediocrity. Anything that absorbs so much of our time and energy should not be just average. Why settle for the mediocre when you can have the magniﬁcent? But just like anything of value and worth, a magniﬁcent marriage requires work and effort. It takes time and attention to build a marvelous marriage that will stand the test of time. Unfortunately working on one’s marriage is not what many couples are willing to do. Consequently, they settle for a miserable marriage or for separation and divorce. What a waste of time, life and potential. Although we live in a culture full of products and services that are instant and disposable, marriage is neither of these. Recently I was reading an article in Tamera Lowe’s Get Motivated Workbook and the article was entitled: How to Spice Up Your Marriage in Two Weeks. The article lists 14 different suggestions, but we will refer here to seven of them and I will tweak them a bit. 1. Ask your spouse out on a special date but send the request via U.S. mail

as an old fashioned love letter. 2. Put sticky notes inside his/her car that say “I love you” and make a CD of favorite love songs for him/her to play while driving to work. 3. Give your partner a bubble bath followed by a full-body massage along with soft music, scented candles, strawberries. This actives all ﬁve senses. 4. Go one full week without arguing, criticizing, complaining, nagging, etc. Instead give compliments, encouragement and positive afﬁrmation. 5. Pack a picnic lunch and go to a park or other romantic spot. 6. Revisit your wedding photo album and/or wedding video and relive the memories. 7. Spend a night without TV, computer, cell phones or any other interruptions in order to focus on your mate. Talk about your plans, goals, thoughts, feelings, dreams and aspirations. End your time together with prayer. These activities may seem simple but they will go a long way toward positively, practically and powerfully impacting your marriage. For more information about boosting your marriage, plan to attend the Lake Providence Baptist Church Couples Ministry Conference Saturday, October 25, 2014 from 8:30 – 4 pm in Nashville. For more information you can email them at lpmbccm@gmail.com. Focus, work and intentionality will make your marriage stronger so that it will last much longer.

How Do You Pray in Life’s Toughtest Seasons? On the bathroom wall of the house where I lived was a bright orange poster. No artwork, graphics, pictures or details. Just vivid yellow words. The vibrant phrasing ﬁt those days when nothing went my way: “A prayer to be said When the world has gotten you down And you feel rotten And you’re too doggone tired to pray And you’re in a big hurry, And, besides, you’re mad at everybody… help!

Do you have days like that? When all you have the strength to pray is: “Help!” You’re too breathlessly winded to explain what’s unraveling. No time to tell God details. Besides, God already knows how exhausted you are with life’s tiny grievances. How perplexed you are when things spin out of control. He sees how carefully you resist the urge to panic.

REGINA PRUDE Tom is a dear friend who faced a series of difficulties. His wife was ill; his job ended; their financial situation was precarious. He sent me a short message: please pray for me. Instinctively, I said I would. When I started to pray, I wasn’t certain what to ask. Healing for his wife. What else? Strength for him, grace to help their situation. Finances to make ends meet. In tough times, the most significant thing we can do is pray. Yet, there are times when God seems silent. There is no immediate answer; no sudden

comfort. Did God hear? As a pastor’s wife for many years, I know people can have a crisis of faith and doubt that God will intervene. I call these times having a “Job moment,” like the Old Testament patriarch. You had it all together; suddenly, a shift occurs and it’s as if the entire universe has spun out of control. Prayer is not just asking God to ﬁx our troubles. Someone wrote: “I’ve been studying the subject of prayer for years, and there are many questions I cannot answer—nor can anybody else. I’m not discouraged by what I don’t know about prayer because I’m too encouraged by what I do know about prayer.” © Regina M. Prude, 2014 Regina is an inspirational speaker & author.

Stress Seminar Oct. 26

NASHVILLE, TN — How to live successfully with stressors that we seem unable to avoid will be the focus of this seminar. It will be held on Sunday, October 26th, 4:00 - 5:30 P.M. in the Martin Luther King Hall. We are all faced with situations that cause us to feel stressed. Stress is unavoidable and also healthy to some extent. It serves as a great motivator for us to get up and get things done. However, it can be harmful and cause us to feel overwhelmed when it continues for a long period of time. Come to this seminar to learn when and how to say, “No”. Learn effective ways to balance work and home life, adult children returning home, “the boomerang group”, caring for elderly parents and kin, along with the ability to carve out time for yourself. What do the scriptures teach us about living with stress? Can we fully submit our lives to God, recognizing that He is in control? Learning to control your reactions is one key to

managing stress. Often, we cannot control the events around us, but we can control, to a large extent, our reactions to them. We have engaged the assistance of professional experts to guide us through the process. Ms. Jaha Martin, LCSW will discuss work factors that contribute to being overstressed and Dr. Roosevelt Faulkner, Ed.D. will present caregiving and gender issues, along with the “boomerang group” returning home as they contribute to being stressed. Come and learn some new techniques to help us manage and live successfully with our stressors. This seminar is sponsored by the Counseling Services Committee. Please come and bring a friend. You will not want to miss this event! Light refreshments will be served. First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill Counseling Services Committee Rev. Kelly Miller Smith, Jr., Pastor
