an initiative to help prevent sexting.
The Tyler Public Library will not
be quiet and studious on November
13 and 14. It will be a whirlwind of
music, dance, painting, sculpture
and theater.
Sexting- a harmful and
dangerous practice- typically occurs when teenage students use cell
phones to send each
other sexually explicit
messages or images electronically, primarily between cell phones.

Improvements in cellular technology
over recent years have dramatically expanded young Texans’ access to mobile
telephones that can transmit sexual photographs and videos – which is why the
problem is increasingly prevalent. A 2008
report from The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy indicates that 22 percent of teen girls said they
have electronically sent or posted online
nude or semi-nude images of themselves.
Sexting message senders have no control of their message’s ultimate distribution. Embarrassing or sexually explicit messages can be forwarded to other students
and later spread quickly through a school
or across the country. In some cases, sexting images can even get posted on public
websites or fall into law enforcement authorities’ jurisdiction.
Under current Texas law, anyone who
transmits an explicit image of a teen can
face felony charges of possessing or trafficking child pornography. As a result, children
who send images of themselves and their
friends face serious criminal repercussions.
Attorney General Abbott and Sen. Watson
veterans’ | Continued from front
are proposing legal provisions for these
youthful offenses – so minors are punished
for improper behavior but do not face lifealtering charges. Under their proposal,
teen sexting would become a misdemeanor offense punishable by probation and
restricted cell phone usage. Judges would
also be authorized to sentence minors to
participate in an education program about
sexting’s long-term harmful consequences.
“Studies show that teenage students
are increasingly taking, sending and receiving explicit pictures of themselves on their
mobile telephones,” Attorney General Abbott said. “This practice is not just harmful
to young Texans – it’s potentially illegal.
We are joining with Sen. Kirk Watson to
address this problem in the State of Texas
and offer common-sense solutions that will
help protect young Texans.”
Sen. Watson added: “The legislation
that we are working on recognizes that
sexting is wrong and illegal. This proposed
new law would provide education for
our children regarding the harm sexting
causes, and it will give prosecutors an appropriate tool to stop this problem.”
First named Armistice Day, Veterans Day
is celebrated each year on the eleventh day
of November for a reason- it marked the end
of World War I in 1918. Twenty years later,
in 1938, legislation commemorated the celebration into a legal holiday recognizing the
veterans who fought in that particular war.
Then came the World War II and the Korean
War and a need for recognizing those veterans as well was discovered. In 1954 the
request was submitted and the legislation
passed to use the day as a day to recognize
and remember veterans of all wars, thus the
name was changed to the all-encompassing
Veterans’ Day, as we know it today.
If Nov. 11 falls on a weekend, the federal
government will recognize the holiday on
the preceding Friday or the following Monday in order to pay tribute and respect to
those who have served or are still currently
serving. Also, to avoid confusion, there is a
big difference between Veterans’ Day and
Memorial Day. While Memorial Day recognizes only those who have fought and died
for their country, Veterans Day recognizes
both the deceased and the living.

Brees cites a personal experience for opening
his eyes to the importance of money management.
“In my NFL rookie season, I applied for
my first mortgage and during the process
learned that an unpaid cell phone bill from
my junior year in college had negatively affected my credit score,” Brees told me. “Fortunately I was still able to secure the loan,
but at a much higher interest rate than if I’d
had a good credit score. It frustrates me to
this day that I didn’t understand the importance of my credit score at the time I made
those poor financial decisions.”
Brees began channeling that frustration
by taking a more active role in combating
youth financial illiteracy. The statistics he
cites are troubling:
• The average high school senior can answer
only about half of basic financial knowledge
questions correctly.
• Although 93 percent of Americans believe
all high school students should be required
to take a financial education class, only four
states require at least a semester-long course
in personal finances.
• Only four in 10 adults understand how to
properly calculate how much they’ll need to
reach their retirement savings goals. Yet for
most average earners, Social Security will
replace only about 40 percent of pre-retirement earnings.
• More than one in 10 Americans don’t use
banks at all, despite the financial advantages
they provide.
As you might expect, Brees is taking action. He visits high schools around the country, sharing personal stories, answering student questions and quarterbacking group
competitions in Financial Football, an interactive video game jointly developed by the
National Football League and Visa Inc.
Financial Football combines the NFL’s
structure and rules with hundreds of questions of varying difficulty designed to test
students’ financial knowledge. To move the
ball down the field and score points, players
must answer a series of money management
questions correctly. Wrong answers cost
yardage or loss of the ball.
Brees himself contributed numerous
questions for the latest version just released.
See whether you can answer the following
correctly:
1. Negative financial information (excluding
bankruptcy) can stay on your credit report for:
a. 2 years
b. 5 years
c. 7 years
d. 10 years
2. Which of the following will NOT damage
your credit score?
a. Defaulting on a student loan
b. Checking your own credit score
c. Home foreclosure
d. Carrying a credit card balance equal to
your spending limit
3. Which are the two most important factors when determining someone’s creditworthiness?
a. Payment history and amounts owed
b. Length of credit history and amounts
owed
c. Types of credit they currently use and
payment history
d. Number of credit inquiries made and
amounts owed
Teachers can download free lesson modules for three age levels to incorporate the
game into their classroom curriculum. You
can download Financial Football as a free
iTunes application playable on your iPhone
or iPad, or play it online at www.practicalmoneyskills.com/football – all in English or
Spanish versions.
By the way, the correct answers to the
questions above are: 1 (c), 2 (b) and 3 (a).

Losing the race
card
COM MENTARY
By Tom Flannery
I
t’s official- the race card has
been played out.
It’s been overplayed out, if
you want to get technical, used so recklessly and repeatedly by liberals through
the years to slander decent people that
it has lost its once-fearsome power.
Even more problematic for liberals,
while they have continued accusing conservatives of harboring poisonous attitudes on race, they’re the ones who keep
exhibiting racist and anti-Semitic behavior then simply trying to excuse it away.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez was, like all
the other liberal media elites, lashing
out constantly against conservatives
in general and Fox News in particular on his nightly political program.
These guys hate Fox because it’s
the only television news outlet that
doesn’t slant all of its coverage to the
far left, like CNN and the rest of them
have been doing for decades.
Sanchez especially liked to falsely
smear Fox News for exploiting racial
stereotypes, but he was such a blowhard that even Jon Stewart (another
Fox-bashing leftist) routinely ridiculed
him on The Daily Show.
Recently, Sanchez struck back in a
radio interview, complaining that he
has been discriminated against and
held back in his career because of his
minority status. When the interviewer pointed out that Stewart, who’s
Jewish, is also a minority, Sanchez
laughed in the guy’s face. He then
went on to inveigh against the Jews,
claiming they run CNN and the media
at large and hold back real minorities
like himself- one of the oldest canards
in the anti-Semitic playbook.
Never mind the fact that Sanchez
was given a coveted prime-time television news program of his own by the
Jewish former president of CNN. If this
is what passes for oppression these
days, or being “kept down by The Man,”
I think we’d all like to be so oppressed.
No sooner did Sanchez’s radio
interview hit the airwaves than CNN
fired him, giving the aggrieved whiner
an opportunity to experience some
true adversity for once (yet with no
one but himself to blame for it).
His wife claimed that exhaustion
from Sanchez’s tough work schedule
caused him to “mangle his thought
process inartfully” in what she said
was “an effort to make a broader point
about the media.”
Hmmm... what “broader point”
would that be? She didn’t say. And
since when does exhaustion cause
rank anti-Semitism? She didn’t answer
that one either.
Actually, Sanchez was quite clear in
explaining his thought process in detail,
expressing his obviously very stronglyheld views in unambiguous language.
Just like Helen Thomas, the longtime queen of the Washington press
corps, who was asked earlier this year
about the Jewish people living in their
God-given homeland of Israel. She said
they should “go back to Poland.” That
would be the same Poland where Jews
were once easily rounded up to be
shipped off to concentration camps.
During her more than five decades
as one of the most celebrated figures
in the liberal media, Thomas went from
being a “journalist” who spouted leftist
propaganda against Israel and on a host
of other issues to a commentator who
spouted the same leftist propaganda
against Israel and on a host of other issues. The only thing that changed was
her job title. But by revealing herself to
be what conservatives always knew her
to be, a raving anti-Semite, Thomas’ career came to an abrupt end. About five
decades too late.
On race relations, it’s the same.
Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, cocreators of Seinfeld, are outspoken
liberals, and David relishes skewering
conservatives on his own show Curb
Your Enthusiasm. Yet when their colleague Michael Richards- who played
Kramer on Seinfeld- went off on
some black people at a comedy club,
screaming at them with the repeated
use of the N-word, and pining for the
good ol’ days of lynching blacks, all we
got from Seinfeld and David (as with
Sanchez) were lame excuses.
Seinfeld brought Richards onto
the late-night show of David Letterman, another outspoken liberal, to try
to rehabilitate his image. Hey, anyone
can understand that someone might
scream at blacks that they’re “n-----s”
over and over again and want to lynch
them when his comedy act is falling
flat, right? So David brought Richards
and the rest of the Seinfeld cast back
together on Curb last season and “humorously” wove several excuses for
Richards’ racist rant into the storyline.
What are friends for, eh?
Jesus criticized those who look for
the smallest speck in someone else’s
eye “but do not consider the plank in
your own eye” (Matthew 7:3). In the
same way, those who use the race card
are the same ones who keep engaging
in truly racist and anti-Semitic behavior, or being apologists for it.

Americans flunk Religion 101
Would you pass this quiz?
By Rusty Wright
America is full of religious people, but Americans know surprisingly little about religion. In
fact, many atheists and agnostics know more
about world faiths than do believers.
So concluded a recent Pew Research Center
survey on religious knowledge in America. For
instance, Pew’s quiz revealed that only about
half of Americans know that Martin Luther
inspired the Reformation, that the Koran is the
Islamic holy book, or that the Jewish Sabbath
starts on Friday.
Atheists and agnostics scored highest on
Pew’s Religious Knowledge Survey, followed by
Jews and Mormons.
Atheists were quick to comment. American
Atheists president Dave Silverman – banner carrier for founder Madalyn Murray O’Hair’s legacy –
believes religious knowledge helps advance atheism. “I gave a Bible to my daughter, he told the
New York Times. “That’s how you make atheists.”
However, Mormons and Evangelicals scored
highest on Pew’s questions about Christianity
and the Bible.
Pew says nearly 60 percent of Americans
claim religion is “very important” to them and
about 40 percent say they attend worship services weekly. But the survey found “that large
numbers of Americans are uninformed about
the tenets, practices, history and leading figures
of major faith traditions – including their own.”
Forty-five percent of Catholics were unaware
their church teaches that the Communion bread
and wine become the actual body and blood of
Christ. 43 percent of Jews did not know that
Maimonides, a revered rabbi, was Jewish.
Only about a quarter of Americans know that
most Indonesians are Muslim. Less than half
know the Dalai Lama is Buddhist.
Is this beginning to sound like Jay Leno’s
“Jaywalking” interviews?
On the positive side, 82 percent know Mother
Teresa was Catholic. 85 percent realize an atheist is someone who doesn’t believe in God. 71
percent know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Whew. I guess lots of Americans still follow news,
listen in class, or pay attention to Christmas carols.
I can identify with folks who flub questions
about their own faith. I joined a Christian
church as a youth, drifted away in secondary
school, but still thought I knew a lot.
As a university student, I found I flunked
a basic biblical question: How does someone
become a Christian?
Oops.
Like many of my compatriots, I thought it
was by believing in God, attending church, liv-
ing a good life, helping other people, trying my
best. God was like Santa Claus: rewarding the
good, punishing the bad. I hadn’t committed
murder. I was born in America. I wasn’t Jewish.
I must be Christian.
Some friends explained that going to church
didn’t make me a Christian any more than sitting in a garage made me a car. Establishing a
personal relationship with God, through Jesus,
was what would make me a Christian. Somehow I’d missed that.
They said if I recognized my flaws and accepted God’s offer of forgiveness through Jesus’
death, then he would totally accept me. It wasn’t
something to work for but a free gift to receive.
It almost sounded too easy, but there it was
in the Bible: “God … [rescued] you by his grace
when you believed. And you can’t take credit
for this; it is a gift from God … not a reward for
the good things we have done, so none of us
can boast about it.”
Guess I should have listened more closely as a
kid. Or maybe I just wasn’t ready. Anyway, I can
appreciate the religious confusion – or unwitting
ignorance – that many Americans display. And
I’m glad I got that big question cleared up.
Free trade: a corporate scam
There’s a lot of money to be made in destroying the environment and abusing workers.
By William A. Collins
Cheapest imports
I can find;
Come from sweat shops?
I don’t mind.
Free trade isn’t the only thing ruining America, but it’s a biggie.
The most obvious reason is that
so many jobs have gone overseas.
You’d think economists might feel a
duty to explain to our leaders what’s
gone wrong. Well, that’s their job,
but most economists these days work
for industry, largely the very same
employers who benefit from cheap
foreign or imported labor. They’re
surely not going to sound the alarm.
Other economists work for universities, where they’re still caught
up in ancient post-mercantilist ideology. Early in Econ 101, you learn the
mantra of “comparative advantage.”
In other words, each country or region should do what it does best and
then trade its surplus output to other
countries with a minimum of restriction. Mexico should send avocados to
Maine and get blueberries in return.
That way everyone makes a profit.
Such is the foolish logic that
presidents of both parties have used
to sell free trade agreements to Congress, and which Congress buys all
too often. Unfortunately what is at
stake--always--is greed.
Manufacturers and marketers
don’t know avocados from blueberries. But they do crave cheap labor
anywhere they can find it, from Poland to Palau. What’s more, they pay
big money to lobbyists and to political
campaigns to get it. After all, American workers aren’t their responsibility. They answer to investors.
Agribusiness is the same. It’s
heavily subsidized by Congress and
loves selling its low-cost products
tariff-free in lands where no competing subsidy exists. That may drive
local farmers out of business, but
the companies don’t care. They’re
not our brothers’ keepers.
Most nations have imposed tariffs or quotas to protect local industries against such cheap foreign
competition. This healthy protection
is what free trade agreements seek
to overcome.
Expanded to the grand scale of
world trade, these actions have led
to our rampant unemployment, a depressed economy, and an unsustainable trade deficit. Two current examples: Whirlpool is moving more
production to Mexico and GE is closing its last light bulb plant in America.
So why not impose more tariffs
to raise prices for specific foreign
goods and services? Not only would
this save and possibly create jobs,
we could use the law to prohibit entry of those products whose manufacturer destroys the environment or
abuses workers.
Well, there’s a lot of money to be
made in destroying the environment
and abusing workers. That’s why
multinational corporations invest big
bucks in the legislative process to assure they can continue to do just that.
Only citizen protests slow them down.
Disappointingly, even our own
government fails to purchase enough
goods at home. The long-established
Buy America Act requires only that
a product bought with federal tax
money be 50 percent American. Additional loopholes take that down to
about 25 percent in practice. Further,
in 2008, there were 65,000 waivers
granted to avoid the law altogether.
There’s more, way more. Corporations, lobbyists, importers,
politicians, news media, and many
economists are in on the deal. They
kowtow to employers, investors, and
advertisers who make a bundle off
the “race to the bottom” for wages.
If by chance you would like to
do your bit for the economy, you
can urge your members of Congress
to oppose the upcoming free-trade
agreements with Colombia and
South Korea. They would only make
unemployment worse.
And, don’t pay attention to economists on trade issues. Too many have
sold out. They warn of trade wars,
but ignore the collateral damage of
the trade peace we’re suffering today.
How about saving all the miners?
Mining endangers communities everywhere with safety hazards and environmental destruction.
By Manuel Pérez-Rocha
Remember the joy shared by millions around
the world as we watched as the Chilean miners
were rescued one by one? Celebrating their survival
made me wish that the global mining industry could
find itself in the spotlight too, with lights glaring at
each aspect of its destructiveness and criminality.
Sure, it was wonderful for the world’s TV
networks to bring this act of human prowess and
heroism into our living rooms. But once the last of
the 33 miners was catapulted to the surface, and
Chilean President Sebastián Piñera declared the
mine would be shut and the small San José mining
company punished, the TV show came to an end.
The mining incident has exposed the precarious conditions that miners face each day, as well
as the industry’s devastation of the environment
and ecosystems, on which millions of livelihoods
depend. But it doesn’t look like large transnational
mining corporations and their vested interests will
be pressed to change their ways.
But they should. Mining accidents have caused
more than 200 deaths this year alone in Latin
America. The vast majority died in Colombia, with
73 coal miners killed in a single disaster on June
16. In Chile, 32 miners have died already this year-eerily just about the same number as those who
were rescued in October.
In Mexico, 65 miners lost their lives in the
Northern state of Coahuila in 2006. Unlike in
Chile, the Mexican government never tried to save
them. Only two bodies have been recovered. Their
widows and families are still fighting for the right
to bury their loved ones.
Even more miners are dying in Africa and Asia.
Although the number of South African mining
fatalities is gradually decreasing, 96 miners have
been killed in 2010 so far. And last year, more than
2,600 people were killed in mining accidents in
China alone.
Hundreds of TV crews and media organizations
were on hand covering the Chilean rescue. But
where were the legions of international TV crews
to report on all these other accidents?
In the United States, the media did pay some attention after 29 miners perished in West Virginia back
in April. Reports following that accident, the worst
of its kind in this country in 40 years, detailed how
mining companies spend heavily on lobbyists and U.S.
elections.Their lobbying efforts focus on undermining labor rights and safety regulations both inside the
United States and in other, poorer countries.
Mining doesn’t just dramatically impact miners and
their families. It provokes community conflict, devastates the environment, and violates human rights.
Consider the case of the U.S.- based Commerce
Group mining company. It had its mining permits
cancelled in El Salvador, in large part because of
its poor environmental record. Yet Commerce
Group, together with Pacific Rim (a Canadian company with a U.S. subsidiary), is suing El Salvador in
an obscure tribunal in Washington. They’re asking
for millions of dollars in compensation, basing
their case on investment rules in an international
trade pact. Free trade and investment protection agreements are a new way for companies to
snatch profits they “expected to have” from other
countries. In this case, companies are claiming
damages because sovereign governments halted
their operations to enforce laws and regulations to
protect the environment and public safety.
Mining endangers communities everywhere
with safety hazards and environmental destruction. It often creates rifts within communities and
leads to the criminalization of legitimate protests.
In extreme cases, such as in Africa’s Niger Delta, it
can even unleash murder and terror. In many Latin
American countries, such as El Salvador, community leaders that stand against destructive mining
have been murdered. Communities everywhere are
awakening to these problems, as well as the fact
that mined resources bring very scant economic
benefits to the locals.
When we know our history, we learn from it.
Like Salvadorans, Mexicans, Chileans, and West Virginians, people all over the world are contending
with destructive and criminal mining practices. But
don’t count on seeing anything about that on TV.

food drives. The losing school’s principal
would have to kiss the winner’s mascot.
Although Moore won the food drive,
and Kiener paid up with a smooch for the
opposition’s fuzzy mascot the real winners
are those who will receive the food when it
is distributed by the local Kiwanis Club.
The director of the Brookshire’s Food
Store on East Fifth Street, Jimmy Horton,
sponsored the contest to supply food for
the store’s and the Kiwanis Club’s annual
Christmas Food Drive. Clarkston Elementary School assisted Moore by raising 1090
pounds of food to add to Moore’s 9000.
Hubbard raised 4200 pounds.

thought is: German,” says Don Christy, Jr.
President of NADAguides. “But, with the
2011 Jetta Sedan, it’s pretty clear that Volkswagen is speaking to the North American
consumer. Volkswagen adjusted the exterior design to closely resemble that of its
popular and successful sibling, the Passat.
They have also made an affordable sedan
even more affordable by setting the base
price at $15,995.” The redesigned exterior
is by appearance much more luxurious that
the 2010 and the interior now comes with
amazing technology. With features such as
Bluetooth, GPS Navigation, leather and ergonomic steering, the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta sets itself apart from other sedans in the
market. The 2011 Jetta is so far advanced
that the NADAguides Awards the 2011
Volkswagen Jetta Sedan ‘Car of the Month’.
The NADAguides “Car of the Month” award
provides consumers with practical information on cars, trucks and SUVs chosen by
NADAguides experts for exceptional performance and efficiency, features, options and
appeal. So it’s easy to see why this award is
so prestigious.

awards and Gorman McCracken has loaded
up their inventory to better serve the community. As an added bonus every NEW

why it is one of the most talked about new
launches of the year. The Professional Sales

There will be dancing in the story room,
Queen Elizabeth in the lobby, sculptures by
the computers, pottery in the reading room,
and paintings overlooking the reference section. The event will be called Art Around Every Corner, and will showcase visual and performing artists and their work. The library’s
Programming Assistant Evelyn McLane explained the project’s central message.
“Art Around Every Corner will open up
the library to artists and their work, making them accessible to the community,” she
said. “We are bringing art into every corner
and all three floors of the library.”
Art Around Every Corner: Conversations and Demonstrations will be different
from other events--not only will the artists
display their work, but will be on hand to
personally demonstrate their techniques
and interact with visitors. They will have a
“mini-studio/gallery” that completely fills a
modern public facility.
“We hope that art enthusiasts will visit
the library over the weekend for a chance to
discover and get to know these artists,” said
McLane. “But we are just as excited about

“It’s great that the library is promoting
the visual and performing arts in addition
to literacy in the local community,” said the
library’s Head of Education Ken Tomio. “It
makes sense in this day and age of “multi
media” culture: the young people dance
to word, image and music all at once. As
a community cultural center, libraries have
always played an important role in supporting the arts. This new program gives another opportunity for some of the artists
working in this area to present their work
with the other members of the community.”
The library is located at 201 South College, and this free event is a production of the
Tyler Public Library with additional support
from the Downtown Tyler Arts Coalition. For

But did you know that adding certain foods to your diet
may do as much to improve your cholesterol as medication? These foods are so effective that the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) says they can carry the health claim
for managing cholesterol.
Here are the fabulous four foods.
1. Soluble fiber. Sometimes called roughage, soluble fiber reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL)- the “bad”
cholesterol. Soluble fiber is the portion of plant products
that pushes food through the digestive system. It seems to
lower cholesterol levels by reducing its absorption in the
intestines. Aim for 10 grams or more a day. Examples of
soluble fiber include:

Site preparation for fruit tree planting
By Dennis Smith
Before a fruit tree is planted, there must be adequate space. Most fruit trees require an area 25
feet by 25 feet; dwarfs need about 12 feet by 12
feet. The site must have full sun. And, a single peach
tree can easily produce two bushels of fruit -- about
one hundred pounds -- so don’t plant too many fruit
trees for your needs.
Fruit trees are best planted in mid-winter to
allow time for root development prior to spring
growth. During the months prior to planting, the
site should have been prepared as follows: clear
the site of perennial weeds, and till an area at least
4 feet by 4 feet well. Any hard pan (layer) beneath
the soil should be broken up. Level the site, and till
again. Organic matter may be added to the planting area, but it is unnecessary, and never add fertilizer. To allow for soil water drainage, the site may
be built up so that the tree will be sitting on a small
berm. Seed the site in annual rye grass.
At planting time [January is best], kill the rye
grass berm area with glyphosate herbicide (the dead
root channels from the rye grass allow for better water intake in the planting area). Plant the tree in the
middle of the killed sod area in a hole as big as the
root system, usually about 12 inches square, and at
least 18 inches deep. Plant the tree and refill the soil
to the same depth that the tree grew in at the nursery, being careful the tree does not settle too deep.
In April or May, as the grass greens up, spray 3 or
4 feet around the base of the tree with glyphosate
herbicide. It is critical that this be done if the tree is
to perform well; if you do little else, maintain this
weed-free circle around the tree, and the tree will
do better than if nothing at all is done.
The best tree to plant is the variety adapted to
and recommended for the Northeast Texas area. Select mid-size trees; they are cheaper and grow better than the larger trees. And, it is far easier to cut
3- to 4-foot trees back to 18 to 24 inches, than to
prune 5- to 6-foot trees. Such strong cutback is necessary to remove apical dominance, put the top in
balance with a reduced root system, and force out
strong vigorous shoots which are easy to train. The
trees should have healthy white roots with no brown
streaks. Also check for borer presence or damage.
With proper care, it is highly possible for your fruit
tree to fruit the second year after planting.

LRMC Chief Executive Officer Jim Kendrick explained the significance of this step.
“Accreditation is momentous not only for our
hospital and patients, but the community as well. It
means that we are committed to providing the very
best emergency and cardiac care, and a major part
of that is meeting nationally established criteria,” he
said. “Our team consistently demonstrates expertise in timely intervention, diagnosis and treatment
of patients. This integration with paramedics/EMC,
community education and other key factors are what
it takes to save lives and improve patient outcomes.”
Nothing kills more Americans than heart attacks,
with an average of 600,000 dying yearly. Chest pain
sends more than five million Americans to hospitals
annually. SCPS aims to significantly improve the survival rate of these patients by educating them and the
general public on the early warning symptoms of heart
attack so sufferers and those around them will know
what to do in case of cardiac medical emergencies.
The Accredited Chest Pain Center (ACPC) uses a
symptomatic and protocol-driven approach to cut
down on the time between the onset of symptoms
and the patient’s arrival for medical treatment.
Also, more thorough education insures symptoms
actually indicate a coronary attack rather than
indigestion or some other minor ailment.
The proliferation of cardiac treatment facilities
established a need for established standards to govern the degree, type and consistency of patient care.
Because of SCPC’s accreditation criteria a high level
of quality for coronary treatment.
LRMC’s ACPC established its high level of competence in patient care by meeting or surpassing many
criteria established by a team of accreditation review
specialists. The following is a list of these categories:

God’s Final Harvest
By Dr. David O. Dykes
Pastor Frank Craddock wrote, “Folks,
I am telling you, I do not know a weed
from wheat. I do not know a weed from a
flower. I pull back the swing blade ready
to assault this bunch of weeds, and here
comes my wife, Nettie, saying, ‘Wait, wait,
wait, wait!’ Then that night at the supper
table, there is that ‘weed’ in a vase in the
center of the table. It looked like a weed;
I thought it was a weed. I don’t know a
weed from a flower, and every church I
have known that tried to weed the garden made horrible, horrible mistakes.
Because, you see, that is God’s business.
God said, ‘In the harvest, I will take care
of all that. I am the only one who knows
weeds from wheat. So you leave it alone.’”
We look around us at people that we
think are bad and we say, “Lord, don’t you
think we should rip these weeds out?”
He says, “No, let them grow together.”
We say, “But, Lord, what if these weeds
quench the Spirit and get in our way?” He
says, “Let them grow together until the
harvest and I’ll take care of it.” God isn’t
worried about it because He knows that
there is a harvest coming.
This unholy desire on the part of Chris-
Part 6
tians to get rid of the bad weeds has left
us some dark episodes in history. Around
the year 1000A.D. the Christians in the
Holy Roman Empire decided they should
root out the infidels who were occupying the Holy Land. These attempts were
called the Crusades. In one of the first
crusades, Christian knights from Western
Europe stormed through an Arab town on
their way to the Holy Land. They killed
everyone with brown skin who was wearing a turban. It was not until they turned
the bodies over that they found crosses
around the necks of most of their victims.
It never occurred to them that a Christian
might have brown skin and wear a turban.
While trying to cut down the weeds they
damaged the wheat. God hasn’t called us
to be weed eaters. He has called us to be
fruitful.

Education is more than teaching an individual to perform some
specific task; it prepares him to
live a well-rounded life, capable
of mingling with all mankind, regardless of race, creed, training or
culture. An education does more
then teach a man some specific
branch of knowledge it also teaches
him to live at peace with his neighbors. In a short time, a few weeks
or months, an average man can
learn the known facts of one line
of endeavour sufficient to earn a

November 09, 1967
Rock mag debuts
The first issue of Rolling Stone magazine is printed featuring John Lennon on the cover. Started by
21-year-old University of California Berkeley dropout
Jann Wenner, the magazine aims to cover all things
rock and roll. It becomes a cultural institution, with
profiles of stars from the Beatles to Britney Spears,
as well as political writing. The 1000th issue hit the
shelves May 2006.
November 12, 1815
Equality
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is born in Johnstown, New
York. Educated by her father, U.S. Congressman and
lawyer Daniel Cady, she feels that the law discriminates unfairly against women. She refuses to use the
word “obey” in her marriage vows to abolitionist lawyer, Henry Brewster Stanton. In 1848, she joined activist Lucretia Mott and organized a convention on
women’s rights issues, where she read her manifesto
advocating women’s right to vote, own property, ob-
tain divorces, pursue higher education and establish
professional careers. Her career as a feminist speaker
and writer continued for the next 50 years, often with
another woman’s rights activist, Susan B. Anthony.
November 17, 1973
“I am not a Crook!”
President Richard Nixon denies obstructing justice
in a press conference. The Washington Post reported
“He declared that the White House tape recordings
would prove that he had no prior knowledge of the
Watergate break-in, that he never offered executive
clemency for the Watergate burglars, and in fact
turned it down when it was suggested, and had no
knowledge of proposals that blackmail money be
paid a convicted Watergate conspirator.” By August,
Nixon, faced impeachment for obstructing the Watergate investigation, and resigned. He was later pardoned by President Gerald Ford.
November 22, 1718
Bye-Bye, Blackbeard
Pirate Edward Teach, known as Blackbeard, is killed
in Ocracoke Inlet, North Carolina, after a battle with
a Royal Navy ship led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard,
who had been hired to kill the pirate. Blackbeard is
beheaded, and his crewmen were hung after a trial. In
1996, divers found the remains of what was believed
to be his ship, Queen Anne’s Revenge.
November 30, 1835
Legend of literature is born
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri. He grew up in nearby Hannibal and took his
pen name- Mark Twain- from the river term meaning
that it is safe to navigate. “Anybody can have ideas,”
he wrote in a letter in 1868, “the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on
an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering
paragraph.” Before his death, he wrote 28 books, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which is often hailed as “the great American novel”, and many
short stories.
