Host, Mia Wright, is speaking with Cally Graves - Texas Workforce Solutions.
Cally begins by saying:
“Unemployment in the Houston area is at 4.2 percent, which is low; and this is probably why Houston was named
the #1 city to live in. We have a good job market through the energy companies and the health care field. The
financial, retail, and manufacturers are taking a hit at this time. The unemployed can help themselves by being
better at presenting themselves to employers. They must sell themselves. A resume is okay; but they must be able
to complete an application. The internet is not the best way to find a job. It is better to get out and talk to people
face-to-face. Networking through your church, professional organizations, a Workforce office, or even friends are
ways that you might get a job opportunity. The Workforce Solutions will help with brushing up on your skills. We
even have facilities that will assist you in interviewing techniques and resume writing.”

Host, Mia Wright, speaks with Stephanie Boutte-Phillips - Houston Training & Education Center. Stephanie says:
“The lack of skills is hindering many of the unemployed from getting back into the workforce - skills such as
computer/applications. The smaller employers are looking for one person who can multi-task. The employer is
looking for someone who can make them money or save them money. Another area that could be hindering some
employees and the unemployed is good work ethics. We teach life skills at our school; things that pertain to the
everyday life and the workplace. When a person comes to our school for assistance, I do some career planning and
see what kinds of skills you have. If you are interested in the classes we have and decide to enroll, I would suggest
that you take a powerful class called Computer Application Specialist which teaches Word all the way up to QuickBooks. This class is eleven months long and would help you to be someone’s Office Manager. We also help with
job placement after we put our stamp of approval on you.”

Jeanette Allen is our Host in this segment. She is interviewing R. J. Ruff, Jr. - Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, who informs us: “Discrimination in the workplace can occur in several ways. An example is a woman
with a good work record becomes pregnant, and ends up terminated shortly afterwards. We are seeing a rise in
pregnancy discrimination; but there are other forms of discrimination in the workplace such as: color, religion, and
disability. Discrimination is occurring on a national level. Statistics show that last year we had over 60,000 charges
filed for alleged discrimination. This year (2008) so far, we have over 72,000. It is very important that we
understand the problem where to get help, and how to file the charge. Some employers were not aware that they
had discriminated against an employee. Once they became aware, they took appropriate actions to eliminate
discrimination in the workplace. The EEOC is here to fight illegal discrimination in the workplace. We are a law
enforcement agency. Our purpose is to enforce the law under Title Seven which is based on color and race
discrimination, as well as Americans with disabilities, equal pay, and age discrimination.”

Our Host today is Genet Chenier. She will be in discussion with Steve Lufburrow - Goodwill Industries of Houston.
Mr. Lufburrow told us: “There is good news in regards to employment in Houston. This city is in a pretty good
position compared to the rest of the country right now. There are also great opportunities here compared to other
communities; and the minimum wage has been increased two times since 2007, and is scheduled to increase again
the next year. I believe that a person should start at minimum wage and work themselves up because most of us
had to start with minimum wage. There are also some barriers that would cause a person to have to work for
minimum wage such as: bad choices they have made that caused them to have a criminal record, or the lack of
education and skills. There are options for people who have had a rough past. One is to go to the Library or an
organization that allows you to use the internet for job searches and find out what is out there and what you qualify
for. In seeking employment, always state the truth about your past, and have a pleasant attitude. We believe that
Goodwill Industries is one of the best-kept secrets in Houston. Our real job is to supply employment and training
for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment. We have many programs; and we will work through
your resume to get things in line so that you can get a job.”

Host, Genet Chenier, is in conversation with Angie Ashworth - Career and Recovery Resources Inc. Angie states:
“Job searching is a skill that can be learned and practiced in order to make ourselves more marketable. A lack of
knowledge of programs that are available for those who have been in prison, or have other barriers, has kept many
from seeking employment. We help those seeking employment to get their resume in order by pulling skills out of
them that they didn’t think would matter. Our mission statement is to help people overcome barriers to
employment; anything from being homeless, a substance abuser, an ex-offender, 55 or older, HIV Positive, or a
disability. Once they come in to us, we do an assessment to see what program will be best for them at that time.
We go out to the shelters and facilitate classes there (a 3-year program) which gets them out of the shelters into a
livable-wage job and back to self-sufficiency.”

Our Host, Mia Wright, is engaged in conversation with Randall Clark - FBI. Mr. Clark tells us: “There are all kinds
of crimes that can be committed using the computer that would fall under cyber crimes; but I investigate sexual
exploitation of children that involves the internet. This is a subject of our Cyber Crime Unit which we call innocent
images. What we are looking for is sexual predators out there who want to meet young people and form a
relationship, and those who would try to trade pornography online. Internet safety is a big issue; and the more
people who get online, the bigger the problem is. The actual number of sexual predators in society, as a
percentage, is very low; but when they get on the internet, they are exposed to the population of the whole world,

including our children. We are getting calls every day from parents because their children have been contacted by
someone online that wants to victimize them, or it has already taken place. We think that parents should do more
to protect their children from themselves, rather than from predators because most of the time children make the
first contact with predators because they desire to have a friend that they believe they can relate to. These
relationships can become dangerous because once they have been manipulated, they will then want to meet the
predator. Parents must be aware of the danger involved and not take it lightly; and parents should never allow a
child to have a computer in their room without monitoring their use.”

The Host today is Mia Wright. She is talking with John F. Sampa - Texas Highway Patrol. He stated: “The Texas Sure
Program is a verification system which verifies whether motorists have insurance coverage. One out of five vehicles registered
in the state of Texas does not have liability insurance. That is about 20% of the population and about 4 million vehicles. If a
person is involved in an accident with someone who does not have liability, then this person would have to bear the burden of
repairs and even an injury instead of the uninsured motorist. The Texas Sure Program is working to get uninsured motorists
off the street before an accident happens. The Texas Sure Program verifies insurance with your VIN number. This system
gives information as accurate as the same day the insurance policy lapsed. The only agencies that have access to the Texas
Sure Program are the tax office and the law enforcement agencies. If a motorist is stopped and they don’t have proof of
liability insurance, the fines are up to $350.00 on the first offence; the second offence is $350.00 - $1,000.00 and probably a
driver’s license suspension. These are very serious offences. We urge drivers to get, and keep, insurance on their cars.”

Our Host today is Jeanette Allen. She is speaking with Ruama Camp - G.R.A.C.E. Community Services. Ruama
communicates to us: “I define disaster as any type of event that you cannot control and is not expected. A disaster
can be caused by man or a natural element. It is very important that we be tuned in to our City officials so that we
will know what is happening. We have to begin to dialogue in our homes about how we can be prepared and ready
before, during, and after a storm or event occurs. Getting a central phone number that each family member should
call in case of separation, or a place to meet in case the phones are not working is a plan that should be mapped
out before a disaster hits. The family should also pack a kit that would take care of your family for about 72 hours;
and be prepared to evacuate. Your kit should have your personal identification, batteries, candles, flashlights,
medication, non-perishable food, and clothing. Grace Community Services teaches the family, church, school, or
business what to do before a disaster occurs so that they will be prepared.”

Jeanette Allen, our Host, is in conversation with Beda Kent - Houston Fire Department. Beda tells us: “As our
children are headed back to school, some of them will be vulnerable and distracted. We believe that parents
should plan with their children routes that they should take to school, and teach them to be mindful of being safe
while walking: staying on the sidewalk, looking left and right before crossing an intersection. If they are on a bike,
they should wear their helmet, and ride on the bike trail or sidewalks. Parents also need to talk with their children
and teach them about walking away from strangers who would try to influence them with a gift, candy, or an
animal. Parents should have a safe place where children can go to in case of an encounter with a stranger. We
believe that parents should make plans with their children to keep them safe, and then revisit the plans with their
children to keep it fresh on their minds.”

Erick Stakelbeck CBN News Terror Analyst - WASHINGTON - Anthrax. Smallpox… these words were commonplace
following 9/11 as potential weapons of terror against the United States. Some experts believe a bioterrorist attack or
pandemic outbreak could be inevitable. So how would the U.S. fight back against an infectious disease outbreak?
Picture this frightening scenario: a contagious virus breaks out in America's heartland. Spreading quickly, it
overwhelms hospitals making thousands violently ill and killing hundreds. Chaos rules the streets and the economy is
in shambles. Then our worst fears are confirmed: terrorists have released smallpox onto the American public. No,
this isn't a Hollywood blockbuster. It's an actual terror threat the U.S. government wants to be prepared to fight.
"We still need to beef up and get ready for when the next human being purposely infects himself or herself to come
into the United States with an intention of either infecting humans or infecting our food source," said Frank Rapoport.
Rapoport helps the government with bioterrorism issues. Some analysts believe former Soviet scientists sold this
type of technology to countries like Iran, Syria and North Korea. And then there's al-Qaeda. The Pentagon says the
group has been pursuing biological weapons for years. While terrorists and rogue regimes may be able to get their
hands on them, biological weapons like anthrax are extremely difficult to weaponize. And the government is
producing a growing number of vaccines and medicines to combat the threat. Since 2002, the Bush administration
has spent billions preparing for the effects of a bioterrorist attack or infectious disease outbreak. The government
wants to stifle any potential outbreak before it even starts. High-tech sensors have been installed in several
American cities that can detect harmful airborne pathogens. Early detection may be able to save lives.

Our Host, Jeanette Allen, will be in conversation with Dr. Mitchell N. Miletello - WellPower Chiropractic. Dr. Miletello
begins by saying: “Our bodies produce metabolic waste which comes through our food, water, and the air we
breath. We need to get these toxins out of our body because after a build-up of these toxins, they cause problems
in the body. Detoxification is the cleansing of our liver, kidneys, & lymphatic system. Without the cleansing of
these organs on a regular basis, the body will begin to give you symptoms of possible problems that could become
serious. There are many ways that you can detoxify your body. One is the Ion Cleanse where the feet are placed
in a container of water; and charges are released through your pores and bloodstream; and toxins come out in the
water. This causes most people to feel better; and it has also cleansed all of their organs. This method is painless
and effective; and doing a cleanse for your body periodically will improve your life.”

Host Jeanette Allen is speaking with Allen Goodlow, Sr. - National Kidney Foundation of Southeast Texas. Allen
states: “Kidney disease can be inherited. But, there are two major causes: 1) diabetes, and 2) uncontrolled blood
pressure. There are 20 million people in America reported as having kidney disease; and over 30 million that have
not been diagnosed. This disease is not reversible; but, those that have been diagnosed will live on dialysis for the
rest of their lives. The focus is to improve the quality of their lives after being diagnosed. Healthy eating is one way
to improve the quality of their lives. Another alternative is a transplant. Within the next 10 years, the expectation is
that 35-40 million people will have kidney disease. There is a program that will evaluate early detection of disease
called KEEP - Kidney, Early, Evaluation Program.”

Host Jeanette Allen is speaking with Dr. Vanderlick with Albert & Sermas Neurological Associates. He said: “Most
headaches are brought on by tension. But, there is a difference between a tension headache and a migraine. Most
people recognize a severe headache as a migraine because there is usually nausea, sensitivity to light, sounds, and
smells, and even dizziness. Having a migraine means you have a slightly higher possibility of having a stroke.
There are some things about migraines that are concerning for stroke: vision change, vision loss, weakness on one
side, or word-finding problems. If these things occur, you should go to an emergency room. Migraines can also be
hereditary. So, if someone in your family had migraine headaches, chances are you will. About 28 million people
have migraines. Of those, about a third to half don’t know that they have them. There are many medications
available now for migraines. So people don’t have to be in pain.”

Jeanette Allen is hosting the program today. She is talking with Alejandra Lima & Jennifer Wrzyszczynski - Down
Syndrome of Houston - who tell us: “There are a couple of concerns that we have in regards to Down Syndrome.
One is that we are trying to re-educate our medical community about how people with Down Syndrome can lead a
fulfilling life. Most in the medical community have a negative view of those who are pregnant and carrying a Down
Syndrome baby. (A test of the chromosomes will determine if the baby has Down Syndrome.) Another concern is
that we need more awareness of individuals with Down Syndrome to see if they are living productive lives in their
communities. People with Down Syndrome are in the workplaces now - in stores, restaurants, etc., living fulfilled
lives. New mothers-to-be are told by doctors that because of the extra chromosomes which determine that the
baby they are carrying is a Down Syndrome child, they should consider terminating the pregnancy. We both made
the choice to carry our baby to term; and there are no regrets. It was because of our sons that we made the
decision to get involved with the Down Syndrome of Houston. All the resources needed for Down Syndrome
children is available within our association including events, classes, and support groups.”

Host Jeanette Allen is talking with RICHARD ELBEIN - Alzheimer’s Association. Richard states: “Alzheimer’s
Disease is not a normal part of aging. This is a misunderstanding that most people have. Some think that
Alzheimer’s and Dementia are the same. Alzheimer’s is describing a disease that causes Dementia. And Dementia
is really the symptom (the loss of the ability to think, reason, or remember). The most common cause of
Dementia is Alzheimer’s Disease, a progressive degenerative disease that affects the cells in the brain, and also
causes us to lose our memory, and have changes in personality and reasoning ability. It’s normal to forget things
when we are trying to do many things at once; but not to park your car and come back and not remember what
your car looks like, or forgetting your name, or phone number you have had for about 20 years. One of the
earliest symptoms is wandering. This is a great challenge to family members. The first thing to do when a family
needs to make a decision about a loved one is to call our organization to talk with a Social Worker. We offer a
whole range of information/referrals for families and professionals.”

program with “Thank you for being with us in this, our second segment. We are continuing to talk about health this time - stroke symptoms. Doctor Wasserman, what is a stroke?” Dr. Wasserman replied: “A stroke is a
disruption of the blood flow to the brain. Some of the symptoms are weakness, numbness, dizziness, or confusion.
If any of these symptoms occur, call 911 at once. Strokes usually occur in middle-aged people; but there are risk
factors that can cause a stroke in younger people which are: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being
overweight, or smoking, and being a diabetic. These are the symptoms of a stroke. If you experience one or
several of them, call 911 immediately:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg;
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding;
Sudden trouble seeing in one eye or both;
Sudden trouble walking;
Or sudden severe headaches.
If someone has had a stroke, there is rehabilitation. Sometimes recovery is slow; and other times it is a short
period.”

Jeanette Allen is our Host in this segment. She interviews Manuel Lopez & Richard Farias - Tejano Center for
Community Concerns, who tell us: “The problem of obtaining affordable housing is broad across the city of Houston
and beyond. There are houses being built, but not for low-income people. There is a focus among several nonprofitable organizations, along with the City of Houston, that are trying to address this problem. We are
concentrating on the development of affordable housing for those families who are not pleased with their
circumstances. Affordable housing, in many cases, are no more expensive than living in rental units, because even
families who have a low income want to realize the American dream. There are many services that can provide help
for those seeking the American dream which include: getting a home mortgage loan that is affordable; helping
them to live within their budget (by educating them); and then the Down-payment Assistance Program which could
help them with the down-payment. Having your own home is not just an American dream; it is a necessity to avoid
a lot of crime.”

Host Mia Wright is interviewing Rhonda Young - Southeast Texas Housing. Rhonda begins by saying: “I am
excited to be here to share opportunities with the audience of how to become a home-owner. We have a demand
in the Houston and surrounding areas for affordable housing for our workforce. We want people to be able to live
where they work, and work where they live. Different programs will have different income ranges and limits.
Programs that provide down payments, and closing cost assistance are going to be 80% immediate income
(example: a family of 4 - their maximum income would be $48,800). We will look at a family as those who live
together, whether parents and children, or grandparents and children. There are many opportunities to owning a
home. It creates a sense of stability; and it is a great tax benefit. One of the biggest hurdles to purchasing a
home is the funds for closing, and the down payment. If the perspective buyer has some credit issues, we have
counselors available to assist them through the process to qualify. Our down payment programs, which are
federally-funded money, are allocated to different areas of Houston and surrounding counties. The programs that
are available are: first-time buyers, MCC programs, and the Bond Programs which are a little different. Buyers
that use the Buyer Assistance Programs have a second set of eyes (the Program Administrator) looking out for
them in regards to fraudulent lenders. Another great thing is that the buyers will take an educational class that
goes over many aspects of purchasing a home.

Our Host, in this segment, is Genet Chenier. She is speaking with Leah Napoliello - Better Business Bureau. Leah
begins by saying: “If someone is about to lose their home, or is thinking about filing bankruptcy, they should be
aware of housing scams. When someone approaches you to offer you a way to save your home from foreclosure,
you should check with the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General’s office, and the Texas Real Estate
Commission. With the foreclosure rescue scam, they will offer counseling to those who are at risk. They will then
ask for a fee. After receiving the fee, they will disappear. Anyone who is in danger of foreclosure should go to their
lender first because they want to help you. Another scam is that they will negotiate with your lender; and the
payments should come to them until the negotiation is over. The scammer will disappear after they have received a
payment or so. Scammers are very persuasive. They give you a guarantee that they can save your home from
foreclosure. These kinds of scams will certainly cause you to lose your home in foreclosure; and you will find
yourself in bankruptcy. The safest way to save your home from foreclosure is to contact your lender, and then
contact a non-profit credit counseling agency that will work with you as a mediator for no fee.”

Host, Jeanette Allen, speaks with Valerie Beckham - Wellsprings, Inc. Valerie stated: “I would describe
homelessness as a state of not having a fixed place to stay. Some people can stay with relatives or friends; but
when they don’t have anyone they can stay with, then a shelter is the next step. Even though we have shelters in
this city, they are often full; and that’s why some people use abandoned buildings or their car to sleep in if they
have one. Some even sleep in parks. It is very hard to get about the things of life without a stable place to stay;
normal things like getting a job, or identification is difficult. Some of the contributing factors to homelessness are:
lack of employment, substance abuse, and domestic abuse. Wellsprings Inc. is designed to serve women without
children in their immediate care. We are there to help people after they have gone to the emergency shelters, and
they need some more long-term services. We help them to get a GED and job skills training so that they can focus
on getting a job and become self-sufficient. We also offer them life skills classes to teach them how to manage in
life.”

Jeanette Allen, our Host, is interviewing Councilwoman Wanda Adams. Wanda says: “In 2006, citywide, the
recycling rate was 15%; and this is not enough to save the environment of the City of Houston. A bigger issue that
we are now dealing with is landfill space, because we are throwing away recyclable materials. We need to divert
recyclable items from garbage, because we have only 14 years of landfill space left if we don’t start recycling.
These are some of the items that can be recycled: #1 and #2 plastics, drinking bottles, milk jugs, boxes, and
newspapers. We are trying to encourage those who have curbside programs to change their mindsets about
recycling, and consider where we could be in the future if we don’t start recycling. The City of Houston is not doing
its best in recycling; and we need to improve.”

Host Genet Chenier is communicating with J. Hoxie Jones - Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Our
guest said: “Food stamps are for families that have a low income. Some of them have to make a choice between
paying rent or buying food. Most families choose to pay rent and go hungry. The majority of these people have
children. A lot of people cycle on and off food stamps because of losing jobs or some incident in their lives. The
Federal Government sets the guidelines for, and to, qualify for food stamps. They are called the Federal Poverty
Income Guidelines which are published annually. Even those working could qualify for food stamps. We look at
your net income. Those with low income should come into our office and complete an application to see if they
qualify. Food stamps are a federally-funded program/supplement which allows people to purchase nutritious foods
(vegetables, fruit, milk, cereal, bread, meat, poultry, seeds, and fish). U. S. citizens and certain non-citizens are
eligible to apply for benefits. An example would be if you are single. Your net income should be $851 a month or
less to receive $162 per month in food stamps. For a family of three, your income should be $1,431 or less to
receive $426 a month in food stamps. A single person 18-50 without dependents must be working or in training to
receive stamps. Single mothers with children are the largest group receiving food stamps. We ask that those with
low income would come in and fill out an application to see if they qualify.”

Erick Stakelbeck, CBN News Reporter WASHINGTON - World markets plunged again today after the worst day on Wall
Street since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Investors are worried who will be the next victim of the credit crisis and they're
wondering just how long it will last. As Wall Street goes, so goes the world's markets. With several of America's financial
giants either gone or teetering on the brink, stock markets from Asia to Europe are feeling the strain. Markets took a dive
Tuesday in Hong Kong, Japan and Britain -- while countries like Australia and India flooded money markets with cash. All
want to avoid the troubles that have stunned Wall Street. The demise of Lehman Brothers and buyout of Merrill Lynch
sent shockwaves among investors Monday. News that leading companies like AIG and Washington Mutual were also
struggling added to the sense of uncertainty -- with investors even fleeing stable companies like Goldman Sachs and
Morgan Stanley. The chaos caused the Dow to plunge 504 points -- the sixth worst point drop ever. The world's largest
insurance company -- AIG -- may be next on the chopping block. But don't look for the federal government to bail the
company out. After stepping in on behalf of Bear Stearns Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the government made it clear it
wouldn't save Lehman Brothers or Merrill - and it's now leaving Wall Street to clean up its own mess. Pat Robertson, CBN
Host, talks with Dennis Gartman, financial expert and author of The Gartman Letter about the market plunge and the
seriousness of the problem. No one wants to lend money to anyone else. AIG’s loans were irresponsibly made and if
corrected 18 months ago it would be easier today. The “netting affect” is the problem. The ability to borrow money will
be more difficult. The economic slow down is a bit more unmanageable.

Our Host today is Mia Wright. She is interviewing Dr. Grace Butler – Hope Through Grace. Dr. Butler conveyed to
us that “colon cancer is different than other cancers because it is preventable. It is predicted, by the American
Cancer Society, that there will be over 155,000 new diagnoses of colon cancer, and 35,000 deaths resulting from
this disease. This cancer can be prevented by screenings. Only 38% of people with insurance are getting
screened; and those without insurance are not likely to take money out of their pockets to get a screening. It is
recommended that screening begin at age 50, and age 45 for African Americans. Colon cancer does not always
have symptoms; but there are some symptoms that you should be aware of. They are: black, “tarish” stool;
bleeding from the rectum; constipation; and diarrhea over a period of time. Be aware of family history. A
colonoscopy screening is considered to be the gold standard test for the screening. We are trying to get education
into the hands and communities of those who are at risk. Our mission is the elimination of colon/rectal cancer
through prevention and early detection.”

Jeanette Allen, Host, is engaged in conversation with Kim Lindquist - Autism Society of America, Gulf Coast
Chapter. Kim stated: “Autism is a neurological disorder that affects all different areas of the brain. It can be
different with each child. The areas that it affects is communication and social interaction. Some of the signs to
look for are: lack of eye contact, hand-flapping, rocking back and forth, making strange noises, and delayed
speech. Autism can be noticed in early childhood; as early as 15 months of age. There is a genetic component
involved. It is an epidemic now because 1 out of every 150 people are affected. Some children with autism do
not speak; and this can be mistaken for a hearing problem. Most times your child will be given a hearing test.
Autistic children are very intelligent, and have a certain strength or gift. We must learn how to teach autistic
children because they must learn everything that other children learn; but it takes special skills and patience. We
help parents who have children of all ages who have autism; and our programs are there to encourage you, and
help you to bond with others in the same situation.”

Host, Nicole Love, is interviewing Nicole Love - Prevent Blindness Texas. Nicole begins by saying: “Your vision is
very important. In order to prevent blindness we need to get regular eye exams. Over 50% of those who are
blind could have prevented it from occurring with regular eye exams. Some purchase the reading glasses to see
better; but these glasses only cause your condition to worsen in time. Eye exams can start as early as 3 years of
age. Eye diseases can be hereditary; but African Americans and Hispanics have a high rate of diabetes which can
lead to several types of eye diseases. Glaucoma is an eye disease that can lead to blindness because there is no
warning or pain associated with it. But, a yearly eye exam can detect it. There is a difference in a vision screening
and an eye exam. The screening can show that you need an eye exam. Prevent Blindness Texas is a non-profit
organization. We help provide free access to eye exams and glasses if needed. To quality you cannot have CHIPS
or Medicaid.”

Host, Mia Wright, is speaking with Elizabeth Garcia – Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, who tells us: “Every day
we have a need for over 900 donations. We have had a drop in donations since the hurricane and want to
encourage the viewers to donate blood. There are cancer patients, burn victims, and premature babies who need
blood every day; but less than 5% of our community donates. We encourage people to donate at least four times
a year. The whole process is less than an hour. The eligibility to donate blood is 17 years of age or older, and
must weigh at least 110 pounds. Screening will be done to see if certain medications or health problems would
cause you to be ineligible. We are FDA-regulated. We screen all blood with 14 different tests to make sure that
the blood is safe. We are really working to target Hispanics and the African American communities because these
communities are growing by leaps and bounds. So we need to make sure that our donor population reflects the
population here in Houston. With each donation, you are saving three lives. Donors can even donate blood
specifically for a loved one who may be having surgery. We have 15 neighborhood donation sites around the city
and a mobile van.”

Mia Wright is our Host today. She will be interviewing Don Sumners – Harris County Tax Office. He stated that
“One of the questions asked most frequently is ‘What is the origin of the tax forms coming in the mail?’ There are
three different government agencies involved in calculating your tax bill:
1)
2)
3)
The Harris County Appraisal District which values your property (a separate governmental organization);
The County Commissioners, or your City Council, which sets the tax rate at which the bill will be calculated; and
The Harris County Tax Office, or the Tax Offices in the County, of which there are over four hundred taxing
jurisdictions in Harris County.
The typical bill in the City of Houston will have four Harris County taxing units which are: The Harris County, the
Flood Control District, the Hospital District, and the Port of Houston.”

Host, Jeanette Allen, is interviewing Council Member Ronald C. Green, who tells us: “The total City budget is at
about 4 million dollars. This includes our Enterprise Funds and General Revenue Funds. When we have excess
revenue, we put it in a fund for situations like Hurricane Ike. Because we provide police protection, firemen, public
safety, libraries, parks, etc. These services come at a cost (about 2/3 of our budget). We also build affordable
housing for low-income citizens. Citizens can help decrease some of the City’s budget by recycling and being
energy-efficient. We help senior citizens with repairs to their homes by using money which is called a Block Grant.
In some cases we even rebuild their homes. I think the more we can educate people about our City government,
the more we can instill confidence in them about their government. We invite the public to come downtown to our
meetings on Tuesday afternoons to see how we spend their money.”

Host Jeanette Allen is in conversation with Pat Pullins – Council on Alcohol & Drugs Houston. Pat begins to tell us:
“We define senior citizens as those 60 years and older. Some of the statistics define them as 65 and older. We
have found that this is an international problem. One out of every five has a problem with alcohol or prescription
drugs. Most senior citizens don’t see problems with alcohol or drugs as a medical problem. They see it as a moral
problem that they should be able to take care of themselves. As we age, we don’t realize that our bodies change
internally, and we can’t metabolize alcohol as we did when we were younger. The danger is the prescription drug
and the alcohol mixing together. Drinking is a comfort in dealing with issues that senior citizens have to face in
their everyday life, and with traumas they sometimes face. If seniors are facing this problem, they can call us
because we have programs specifically for them. Then they should get involved with as many activities or social
events as possible.”

Our Host in this program will be Genet Chenier. She speaks with Patrick Lay - Sheltering Arms Senior Services.
Patrick begins by saying: “Memory loss is when you need to recall something; and there is a partial memory, or no
memory, or a distorted memory. We remember in sections; and in order for us to have a complete memory, all of
the sections must come back together in one place. In the normal aging processes, there may be loss of some of
the pathways that allows the transmission of the signals or loss, or destruction, of those chemicals that actually
send the signal. There may also be a lack of nutrients needed to maintain the health of the cell, or less blood flow
to the brain which carries the oxygen to feed the cells as well. Some memory loss begins to occur in the 40’s; and
by the 60’s we may start seeing more noticeable memory loss. This is the normal aging process. Dementia is
more of an umbrella, which is the loss of mental processes to the point that it affects your daily life. There are
several forms of Dementia: Alzheimer which is the most common, vascular, frontal, temporal, and alcoholic
Dementia. Short-term memory is very much affected by Dementia. The only thing that a person will recognize is
things from their past. A caregiver must be patient and allow their loved ones to embrace the memory that they
have.”

Today’s Host is Jeanette Allen. She will be in conversation with David Slaughter - Houston Area Urban League.
David told us: “We were ranked among the top ten in the United States in foreclosures a couple of years ago. But
we are now 13th or 14th which is still not a good position to be in over-all. In the Kipland Report, it states that out
of every 37 people, one will be touched by foreclosure. One of the reasons there were so many foreclosures was
that individuals were getting loans who really should not have because of their income status. Another factor was
an adjustable rate that caused the payments to go up when their salary was not. The Government is taking a very
serious look at this problem and trying to curtail a lot of lenders from making the same mistakes that were made in
the past. There is help for those who have a FHS/VA Loan (if you qualify) that can help you stay in your home if
you can afford to make your monthly payments. There are other programs available where we are able to assist
individuals when they contact us. Our Housing Department has been in existence since 1975. We have three
HUD-certified counselors on staff; and we are able to look at your loan and see how we can help you stay in your
home. One of the most important things an individual can do is focus on maintaining your credit. It should be a
life skill.”

aware of housing scams. When someone approaches you to offer you a way to save your home from foreclosure,
you should check with the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General’s office, and the Texas Real Estate
Commission. With the foreclosure rescue scam, they will offer counseling to those who are at risk. They will then
ask for a fee. After receiving the fee, they will disappear. Anyone who is in danger of foreclosure should go to
their lender first because they want to help you. Another scam is that they will negotiate with your lender; and the
payments should come to them until the negotiation is over. The scammer will disappear after they have received
a payment or so. Scammers are very persuasive. They give you a guarantee that they can save your home from
foreclosure. These kinds of scams will certainly cause you to lose your home in foreclosure; and you will find
yourself in bankruptcy. The safest way to save your home from foreclosure is to contact your lender, and then
contact a non-profit credit counseling agency that will work with you as a mediator for no fee.”

Host, Genet Chenier, is engaged in conversation with Jan Wilbur - League of Women Voters. Jan says: “Women got
the right to vote in 1920; and the League of Women Voters was formed to help women become part of the political
process. In the last Presidential election, women of Texas ranked 49th of 50 states in the percentage of women
voting. Over-all, Texas ranked 47 with both men and women. The League has done surveys on why women don’t
vote; and the number 1 reason is that they say they don’t think they have enough information on the candidates and
the issues in order to vote. The League encourages people to vote; and we also study issues. We are a non-partisan
organization; so we do not support any candidate. But we have information available so that a person can compare
the candidates and make their own decision.”

Our Host in this segment is Mia Wright. She is speaking with Clara Cooper who tells us: “Hunger is on the
increase as is everything else in our economy. One in four Americans are having difficulties in obtaining food; but
in Houston it is even stronger. About 33% of Houstonians are having difficulties finding or purchasing food; and
37% say that each month they have to turn to other sources to get food. We are talking about the working poor
(a family of four who makes less than $21,200.00 a year). There are some 47%, especially seniors who have to
make difficult decisions as to whether they eat;;pay their bills, or get their medication. There are nearly 500,000
people who access food pantries each week, of which 44% are under age eighteen who have no choice. There
are agencies out there where viewers can turn to; but they need to pick up the phone and call them. Our agency
offers nutrition classes to teach individuals how to shop smarter and eat healthier. We are one of Houston’s
leading organizations that distribute food to families, particularly in the inner-city communities. We also offer GED
classes and language classes.”

Host Jeanette Allen speaks with David Davenport - End Hunger Network. David begins by saying: “It is hard to
believe that there are people hungry in Texas because Texas produces enough food to feed the entire country. We
are third in the nation in food and security, and fourth in the nation with hunger. Eighty-five percent of those who
sought emergency shelter or assistance had their own place to live; and, and of the small pantries, 47% of those
who needed assistance had a working adult in the home. There are a wide variety of those who could fall into the
category of hunger: a senior citizen who is homebound and on a fixed income, or a single parent Mom with 2-3
children who can’t get to work because her car broke down, or she has a sick child and can’t go in to work. These
people should get help from a pantry or food bank. We are one of 19 members of food bank agencies. We work to
move resources wherever the need is around the state. The challenge is to try to get food into the hunger relief
systems so that they can distribute it. We are a unique organization in that we deal with highly perishable food.
We actually produce meals for agencies like Meals On Wheels and Mobile Meals For Kids where we actually deliver
meals to homes of pre-school children.
We meet the needs of agencies as well as individuals.”

Host Jeanette Allen talks with Greg C. Petsch, President & Founder of God’s Moneyman Financial about being debtfree. Greg explains how our debt scores determine our interest rates on things purchased. The lower your debt
score, the more money you pay for items purchased. Debt scores even determine auto and home-owner’s
insurance costs. He also states that to become debt-free you must establish boundaries, set goals, and develop a
plan you look at every day. Declare war on debt. Don’t spend money before you make it.

Host Mia Wright introduces Brian Green – Houston Food Bank. He tells us: “Houston is an extremely successful
city; yet we have a higher poverty rate in Houston than the national average. Poverty means insufficient income to
meet the basic needs. Fifteen percent of all Texans live below the poverty level; over sixteen percent in Houston.
The child poverty rate in Houston is over thirty percent. Because Houston is so successful at a far higher rate than
the national average, it is attracting people here from all over the country in which things are not going so well for.
We are importing a lot of people who are at or below the poverty level. At the Food Bank, almost half of the
families we serve are working households but make minimum or just above minimum wages which places a family
of three below the poverty level. We collect mostly surplus foods from the food industry that they cannot sell; and
we distribute it out to about 400 charities throughout 18 counties around Houston. We also operate a number of
programs.”

Heather Sells, CBN News Reporter in San Diego, CA: Hunger is often invisible but not on the streets of San Diego, where
young and old line up three times a week at the Church of the Nazarene in Mid-City. Pastor Deron Matson says many will
stand in line for hours hoping to get the best food they believe are available at the front of the line. "Some wait over 12
hours," he told CBN News. "We had a three-o'clock distribution today and I've seen people line up beginning at 2:30- 3
a.m." Gary McDonald, CEO of Feeding America in San Diego, said Matson's line is not unusual. "We've seen lines as long
as 4,500 people," he said. This story line is playing out at churches and food pantries across the country, courtesy of an
economy gone bad. More families are forced to cut back--and that includes groceries. The non-profit group Feeding
America oversees 200 food banks across the country which supplies 63,000 food pantries. This year, the pantries report
demand for food is up by 20 percent. That translates into an average of 4 million people standing in line for food every
week. CBN News found David Michel standing in the food line at the Church of the Nazarene in San Diego. Michel has
three kids to feed; and in his family of five, he's the only working adult. Michel's employer, a local grocery store, cut back
his hours. Now he's looking for a new job, but it has been tough. He's up against an economy where many industries are
not just cutting hours, but cutting jobs. As the country's economic crisis continues, government and non-profit groups are
struggling to understand just how many adults and children are hungry.

Mia Wright, Host, introduces the viewers to Hope Frances Rangel – Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Hope says:
“Unfortunately we have a lot of people still driving drunk in Houston and surrounding areas. Harris County
happens to be one of the deadliest counties for fatalities related to drunk driving crashes; number 1 in the state
and number 3 in the nation. The reason that we have so many fatalities at the hands of drunk drivers are because
drunk drivers are not being held accountable and responsible. Statistics show that before a driver is pulled over
the first time for drunk driving, they have probably driven drunk about 83 times. One of the first things we can do
is to tell people not to drink and drive. We are working with a manufacturer to build a smart car that can detect
whether a driver has had too much to drink to be driving. It’s something that is a few years away; but it will stop
some drunk driving. We want to educate people about the consequences of driving drunk, and how it affects
families. We are also a victim services provider. We service families who have been impacted by this horrible
tragedy to guide them through each step they must take.”

Our Host is Jeanette Allen. She is engaged in conversation with Linda Kagey – Volunteers of America Texas. Linda
states: “The statistics show that nine million women used drugs in the last year. This does not include alcohol
abuse. Unfortunately, of that nine million, there are four million women who are not able to seek treatment for
one reason or another. In Houston, there are very few slots for women who cannot pay for treatment. Most
women start out innocent in taking drugs for tranquilizers to sleep; for pain; or for stress. Most of these
tranquilizers are very addictive; and a person begins to crave this drug. Pain killers are a little different. If you
take them for a period of time, they will cause a cycle of pain so that when you stop using them you will have
more pain. One of the markers to be aware of is when a person begins to want to take more drugs than
prescribed, or for social reasons. We specialize in helping women who are facing addictions. Some can also bring
their children. The length of time for treatment will vary.”

Host Jeanette Allen is in conversation with Andrea Schmauss - MADD Southeast Texas. Andrea said: “Underage
drinking is any age under 21, which is the law. We find that children between the ages of 12-20 are drinking
alcohol which they are not old enough to purchase. People are saying that it is a youth problem. But it is actually
an adult problem because our youth get the alcohol from adults. Adults provide it to them, and even purchase it.
There is also false ID technology which makes it easy for people to make an ID showing themselves older than
they are. And, one of the top reasons that children can purchase alcohol is the internet by just checking a box that
says “Yes, I am over 21”. In 2006, there was a study done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Association
which found that 639,000 twelve-to-seventeen year olds admitted to binge drinking. Also, 8,000 were drinking for
the very first time. Binge drinking is defined as drinking five or more drinks in a session. Children’s systems can’t
handle that kind of drinking because their brains are not fully developed until age 20. Houston is second in the
nation for binge drinking for the youth. There are more youth drinking alcohol than the group that admitted to
taking drugs. Another study showed that 33% of the group admitted to binge drinking; and only 3% of the
parents knew it. MADD is very active in legislation; and we want people to get outraged about our youth drinking.
We want the adults and youth to be held accountable, and are demanding that the laws in place be prosecuted.
Get involved. Call your Representative. Let him know that you are supporting the alcohol legislation such as
sobriety checkpoints, and that you are in favor of stricter drunk driving laws. We are one of ten states that do not
have the sobriety checkpoint legislation. It works in forty states, and has lowered the fatality rate about 28%
across the board. We also have some educational information in the schools.”

Host Mia Wright is in conversation with Nadine Scamp - Volunteers of America. Nadine said: “There are thousands
of people in our city who are being impacted by drugs; and it’s not just in the stereotypical poverty sections in our
community. Drug abuse could be in River Oaks or middle-class neighborhoods. The idea that you can use drugs
just for recreational purposes can lead to bad choices. When a person is using drugs, it can impact every part of
their lives; and at this time they need to get help. Denial is a big problem that we see in the women who we serve.
When we speak about drugs, we include alcohol, sedatives, prescription medication, cocaine, or crack. You can
identify a person who has begun to abuse drugs by sudden changes such as: being more secretive, missing work
or school, going more than usual, and repetitive lying. One of the best things to do to help them is to sit down and
talk to them, and remember not to be judgmental. Treatment can be very successful. We see that 75% of the
women have successful recovery. We provide programs for substance-abuse women; and one of the programs
allows the women to bring their children so that we can keep the family unit together. While there, they will receive
individual and group counseling to help them with their addiction. We also help them to get job-ready, and work
with other agencies to get them housing so that when they go back into the community they will succeed. Our
programs can be as little as 30 or up to 90 days long depending on the individual.”

Mia Wright is our Host in this segment. She is in conversation with Peter Mott – The Council on Alcohol & Drug
Abuse. Peter stated: “Alcohol and drugs in the workplace is an issue in our nation overall. We have around 16
million elicit drug users in the United States; and 9 million of them are either full-time or part-time employees.
Companies have been impacted by high absenteeism rates. Those who are abusing drugs and alcohol are having
medical problems which cause companies to increase their insurance rates. Some industries are at higher risk than
others such as: the transportation industry (airlines, federal motor carriers, or school bus drivers); food services;
and the construction industry. It would benefit the employer to have a drug-free workplace program. There are
five components to a drug-free workplace program: 1) the policy; 2) education of alcohol and drugs; 3) supervisor
training; 4) drug testing; and 5) employee assistance program. We help companies to establish a policy to fit their
needs.”

Host, Genet Chenier, is in conversation with Marina Joseph – City of Houston Solid Waste Management
Department. Marina conveys to us: “There was a lot of debris generated because of Hurricane Ike. We estimated
5 million cubic yards of storm debris. The City of Houston is working very hard to pick up that debris; and we had
in place continuity contractors who were available as soon as the storm was over. We have neighbor depositories,
and citizens’ drop-off points where individuals can drop off debris that they have gathered. During the aftermath
of the storm, the curbside recycling is suspended; but the residents can bring any of their recycling to any of the
depositories or the drop-off sites. We will notify the residents when the curbside recycling program is reinstituted.
It would be helpful if residents would separate the tree waste from the treated wood and household chemicals
before it is put out on the curb because it could be combustible. We want the viewers to get the debris out to the
curbside so that it can be picked up. We are taking the wood debris and recycling it, turning it into mulch to go
back into the national market which helps the economy and the environment.”

“Ike was a devastating storm. We sustained damage all over the Houston and surrounding areas. The City prides
itself on its green space; and we lost many of our large trees. Some areas were landlocked because people could
not get down their streets, and those working on the power lines were delayed. Our refineries were affected in
some ways which will be reflected in the prices of the products that come from the refineries. We are the energy
capital of the world; and there were times that we could not go to a gas station to purchase gas because of the
low supply that we had. Our trucks were sent out as soon as possible to begin the cleanup of debris around the
city; and things began to get back to normal. We could not have done everything that needed to be done without
our volunteers.”

Our Host, Jeanette Allen, will be interviewing Michael Aceves-Lewis - Mission Houston - in this segment. Michael
begins the interview by saying: “Houston’s Governmental Plan is to have clean and safe parks; and as a father of
three small children, I want them to be able to go out to a clean and safe park. The City has so many green
spaces and open spaces for children to play; but the City needs help in cleaning them. A lot of the parks are
where the homeless dwell at night; and in the morning when they leave, there is a lot of debris/trash left behind.
The City has invested large amounts of money in the last couple of years in making the parks more liable. Mission
Houston is an international ministry; and our tag line is to change Houston for good. In the next 10 years, we are
focusing our efforts on making Houston a city for whole and healthy children. Our ministry wants to work in
bringing the Body of Christ together across denominational lines to do what we can to serve the City; but to make
it more livable, more fun, and healthier for children, we have a relationship with the City of Houston where we are
able to come to the table and say the church wants to come together and help you, the City, in addressing some of
the areas where you need additional resources. We will go out to parks on Saturday and clean the parks and the
playgrounds so that families can utilize the parks. We are finding opportunities where people can come together in
a single day of service and serve the City as a whole.”

Wendy Griffith CBN News Report WILLIAMSON, WV - America has billions of tons of coal in its mountains, and with gas
prices going through the roof, the question is why isn't more coal being turned into liquid fuel? Welcome to the trillion
dollar coal field Mingo County, W. Va., where coal, as they say, is king. And many in these parts would like to expand that
kingdom by turning this black rock into liquid. Liquid fuel that could be used in cars, planes and hopefully one day make
America less dependent on foreign oil. A plan is on the table to build a $2 billion liquid coal plant here in Mingo County. It
could be up and running by 2012 and would be one of the first liquid coal plants in the country. Williamson, W. Va. is
home to the nation's largest coal yard. Miles and miles of train cars filled with coal make there way from here to feed
power plants all over the east coast. With the price of diesel fuel sky-rocketing, Whitt dreams of the day when some of
that coal will be turned into liquid diesel to help support the local economy. West Virginia congresswoman Shelley Moore
Capito is also pushing hard for liquid coal. She wants Congress to mandate domestic production of 6 billion barrels of liquid
from coal each year by 2022. But some environmentalists claim liquid coal is one of the dirtiest energy sources available
with double the greenhouse gas emissions of gasoline.
