The newest waves of automo-

biles hitting the market these

days are the Luxury Hybrid driv-

en vehicle. That’s the case with

our test vehicle this time around.

The 2011 Lexus 450H five-door

SUV and let me tell you it is the

future luxury vehicle on the mar-

ket today. Yes we tested the new

450H from Lexus and are happy

to report it certainly lived up to

its billing.

To start with the new Hybrid

Lexus luxury vehicle is powered

by a 3.5 Liter 24-valve DOHC

V6 with VVT front electric drive

motors with Lexus hybrid drive

and matted to an electronically

controlled continuously variable

transmission (ECVT). This

translates into to 32 miles per

gallon in the city and 28 miles

per gallon on the highway.

Electronic power rack and pin-

ion steering and four-wheel

power assisted ventilated front

and solid rear disc brakes. This

makes stopping as much fun as

fast take offs when you are

behind the wheel of this baby.

All this smoothly rolls to the

pavement on 235/60R 18 All-

season tires circulating around

an 18 inch aluminum alloy

wheel.

When Lexus first entered the

market place to use to use a slo-

gan that says ‘the pursuit of per-

fection’, after driving the new

450H you might say they have

achieved perfection. Let’s just

say this vehicle is about as close

as it gets to it.

Over the years the styling for the

Lexus has enhance but for the

most part it was the first of this

kind of cross over vehicle and it

has remained one of the best in

class.

Standard features galore are on

this vehicle with dual advance

front airbags, driver and passen-

ger knee airbags, front and rear

side curtain airbags and front

and rear seats mounted side

airbags. It also has front active

head rest and an energy manag-

ing crumple zone and side door

beams. When it comes to safety

this vehicle is equipped as good

as any on the road today.

Electronic brake force distribu-

tion and brake assist adds to

four-wheel anti-lock braking for

a near perfect vehicle stability

control.

Other safety things such as day-

time running lamps and safety

connect automatic collision noti-

fication, stolen vehicle location

and SOS emergency assist but-

ton to enhance roadside assis-

tance added on a one year trial

subscription included.

Let us not forget we are talking

about safety features that are all

standard equipment on this

model.

Once you are inside you are

talking about luxury at its best

from the quality instrument clus-

ter with clear and easy to read

gauges and driver friendly knobs

and buttons. A driver is pleased

to see a 10-way power seat and

the front passenger gets the same

seat controlled with height

adjustable headrests for all seats.

A power tilt and telescopic 3-

spoke steering wheel with audio

controls as well as cruise control

makes the driver very comfort-

able.

The rear seat passengers are

treated to a reclining. Sliding

40/20/40 split rear setup that’s

again best in class.

To add to all this is a wonderful

Lexus nine-speaker Premium

Audio system with automatic

sound levelizer and in dash feed-

eight-disc CD auto-changer with

in glass antenna with FM diver-

sity system, Bluetooth technolo-

gy, XM satellite radio (90 day

trial subscription). Or in short

the kind of sound system that

makes you think you are in auto-

mobile heaven when you are

behind the wheel.

The optional Bi-Xenon high

intensity discharge headlamps

make driving at night fun

because it has adaptive front

lighting system. That simply

means the vehicle front lamps

turn to the side you are turning

to help you see further in the

new direction.

The navigation system complete

with backup camera and all the

up to date hard disk drive keeps

you in command with the world

and everything around you.

The most often asked question is

what about the hybrid system

and what kind of warranty it has.

Well Lexus is happy to let you

know the hybrid battery compo-

nent has an eight-year/100,000

warranty.

In closing let me assure you at a

little over $50,000, this vehicle

is backed by one of the world’s

finest automakers!

People use to say the station

wagon was gone for good, but

you look close you’ll see many

of the wagon features in the

newly styled mini-vans. The

Nissan Quest for 2011 is a good

example of that fact and is clear-

ly one of the best ways to move

the family around. The new

Quest is powered by a 3.5 Liter

DOHC 24-valve 6 cylinder

engine that produces 260 horse-

power and 240 lbs per foot of

torque. Those numbers add up

to 19 miles per gallon in the city

and 24 miles per gallon on the

highway. A 20 gallon fuel tank

adds to the distance before fil-

lips are needed. When you hear

it has continuously variable

transmission and rack and pinion

steering, you might think we are

talking about a performance

sedan. No we are talking about a

state-of-the-art family mover

here

Power transforms to the road on

P235/55R 18 tires wrapped

around aluminum alloy wheels.

Again those of words you hear

when you are talking about a

sport performance sedan.

Braking is provided by 4-wheel

anti-locking disc brakes and

vehicle dynamic control with

traction control system to

enhance handling. Once again

sounds more like a performance

sedan.

When you are speaking of fami-

ly transportation you think of

safety first. Well the new Quest

has Nissan advance airbag sys-

tem with driver and front pas-

senger seat-mounted side impact

supplemental air bags along with

roof-mounted curtain side

impact bags. Or in laymen’s

terms this baby has got you cov-

ered.

Inside the driver is greeted to a

8-way power seat while the front

passenger gets a 4-way manual

seat. Quick comfort heated front

seats and second row sliding and

reclining captain chairs and third

row easy-entry features 60/40

split fold-flat third row bench

seat complete with quick release

third row folding seatbacks with

release button. Leather seating

and door trims goes well with

leather wrapped steering wheel

and gear shift knob. The wood

trim and wood tone accents goes

well for the styling and the per-

manent rear storage well with

60/40 split lid is very functional.

More comfort features include

an illuminated steering wheel

mounted controls for cruise con-

trol and audio controls really

look great while driving at night.

The tilt and telescopic steering

column allows the driver to get

the just right position. A six-

speaker audio system with 4.3

inch color display and

AM/FM.CD complete with USB

audio interface and auxiliary

audio input Bluetooth Hands

free phone system with steering

wheel controls. A rearview mon-

itor and all the things you expect

in a performance sedan.

Optional equipment includes a

DVD entertainment system with

7 inch color in dash monitor and

second row 11 inch WVGA

screen with auto-brightness

function and much more. This

is Bose audio system package

and adds about 1,300 dollars to

the cost but most would say it’s

worth it.

Our fully equipped test vehicle

came in at just over 40 Grand

but let me say this new mini-van

is classic looking and very func-

tional as well as fun to drive.

SOUTHMORE STREET POSTOFFICE U�VEILS STAMP

By Alexis Williams

Houston holds yet another dedi-

catory ceremony for the Barbara

Jordan Commemorative Stamp at

the U. S. Post Office Southmore

Station on Almeda Rd., Friday,

Sept. 30.

This is the second unveiling in as

many weeks. The first was held

at Jordan’s alma mater Texas

Southern University in the 2,000

seat Sawyer auditorium. In con-

trast, nearly fifty dignitaries,

postage stamp aficionados and

citizens paid homage at the post

office’s ceremony by joining in

the singing of the Negro National

Anthem.

While this event wasn’t attended

by the politicos from

Washington, D.C. that attended

the first issue event, this unveil-

ing of the stamp featuring

Barbara Jordan’s likeness on

easel was a unique, and historical

moment. For it took place where

history was made in Houston,

TX. The site where Weingarten’s

Grocery store once stood and the

civil rights sit-ins commenced in

allowing service for Blacks at

then white -only diners here and

across he South. Nearby there is

an historical marker curbside

denoting those events.

Houston City Councilman Jarvis

Johnson was on hand for the

unveiling and encouraged every-

one to invest in the Barbara

Jordan Forever stamp, which is

currently on sale nationwide.

The District D councilman in

reverence stated, “There are

many strong women in the

Houston area, but Barbara Jordan

leads the pack! “

Avid stamp collector Beverly

Vinable, who attended both cere-

monies said “I have a long time

interest in stamp-collecting.”

She continued, “The importance

of this type of event is to inform

the community, in particular, the

youth of the community about its

legends such as a Barbara Jordan

and other Black Heritage Stamp

honorees.”

She further stated, Our younger

generation is not necessarily

taught the significance of her

being born in the 5th Ward.

Graduating from Phyllis

Wheatley High School and Texas

Southern University. And her

ascension to the United States

Congress.” Collecting materials

to share with her grandchildren,

she stressed, “We must make

them aware that they too can

walk in her footsteps and achieve

these impressive milestones and

much more!”

Jordan’s postage stamp was the

34th to date in the much-heralded

U. S. Postal Service’s Black

Heritage Series. Some other

honorees include: Booker T.

Washington, Harriet Tubman,

Martin L. King, Jr., Jackie

Robinson, Scott Joplin, Mary

McLeod Bethune and James

Weldon Johnson.

The former TSU debater was

well known for her oratorical

prowess. Jordan rose to national

prominence as she served on the

nationally televised U. S. Senate

Committee impeachment hear-

ings of then President Richard

Nixon and made an articulate,

impassionate plea to uphold the

constitution on this great land.

Her speech ended with this pow-

erful closing, “A president is

impeachable if he attempts to

subvert the Constitution. If the

impeachment provision in the

Constitution of the United States

will not reach the offenses

charged here, then perhaps that

eighteenth century Constitution

should be abandoned to a twen-

tieth-century paper shredder. Has

the president committed offenses

and planned and directed and

acquiesced in a course of con-

duct which the Constitution will

not tolerate? That is the ques-

tion. We know that. We know

the question. We should now

forthwith proceed to answer the

question. It is reason, and not

passion, which must guide our

deliberations, guide our debate,

and guide our decision.”

The program’s life vitae of

Jordan read in part, “… Born in

Houston, Barbara Jordan was the

first African-American woman

elected to the Texas legislature.

She also was the first African-

American elected to the Texas

State Senate since 1883, and the

first African-American woman

elected from the South to the

U.S. congress, where she served

three terms, sponsoring and sup-

porting numerous pieces of legis-

lation extending federal protec-

tion of civil rights. In 1976,

Jordan gained national acclaim

when she became the first

woman and the first African-

American to deliver a keynote

address to the Democratic

National Convention. Jordan’s

speech resonated throughout the

country as she described

Americans as “A people in search

of a national community …

attempting to fulfill our national

purpose, to create and sustain a

society in which all of us are

equal. In 1984, Jordan was elect-

ed to the Texas Women’s Hall of

Fame. She was named one of the

most influential American

women in the 20th century by the

National Women’s Hall of Fame

in 1993.”

Locally, many notable sites bear

her moniker. Some named in her

honor include: The former Texas

Southern University debater has

the main downtown Houston

Post Office, a Houston

Independent School District high

school, TSU main library

archives, and the TSU School of

Public Affairs.

The event ended with a reception

where everyone enjoyed refresh-

ments which included a delicious

cake decorated with the Barbara

Jordan stamp’s likeness on it.

I’ve always enjoyed interview-

ing people, especially people

with passion. Nothing, however,

prepared me for the passion I

encountered when I met with

Buddy Grantham, the Director

of Houston’s Veteran Affairs

Office. As we sat in his modest

office in City Hall, it was obvi-

ous that every project Buddy

took on was done with the inten-

sity of a man that had only one

goal: to get the job done.

Grantham was well prepared for

the meeting. Although his assis-

tant, Gwen, contacted me within

24 hours of our first email, he

had read much of my past work

and understood where I wanted

to head with our discussion.

Grantham is a retired Army

Officer. He left the Cavalry and

moved into Logistics as a Major.

He did not want to drive a desk

and wanted to remain involved

directly with the troops. He

spent time in various stateside

posts as well as Iraq,

Afghanistan, Korea, Germany

and Bosnia. He was in Iraq dur-

ing both invasions and in

Germany as the wall came

down. He retired in August of

2005 to College Station. His son

is currently a Second Lieutenant

in the Army and looking forward

to his first overseas assignment.

When Hurricane Katrina hit

New Orleans, Grantham packed

a bag and headed to Houston to

see what he could do to help

with the huge number of evac-

uees that headed tour town. He

went to the Houston Housing

Authority and was immediately

put in charge of placing people

on cruise ships as temporary

housing. He then ran the housing

movement at both the

Astrodome and George R.

Brown Convention Center as

Chairman of the Joint Hurricane

Housing Task Force. His next

task was to move evacuees from

hotels to apartments and more

permanent residences.

From there he went to the

Collation for the Homeless and

quickly became the Chief

Operating Officer. In 2007 a

summit was called to help

returning Veterans. He was

asked by then Mayor Bill White

to direct the committee. He later

was asked to become the head of

what is now the Houston Veteran

Affairs Office (VAO).

Here is the Mission Statement of

the VAO:

The City of Houston Off iceof Veterans Affairs’ missionis to assist Houston inbecoming the best city inthe nation through unparal-leled service to our servingmilitary, veterans, and theirfamilies.

Assist veterans of theUnited States Armed Forcesto ensure that neither they,their dependents, nor sur-vivors are denied access tothe entitlements promisedthem by a grateful nation.

To accomplish the mission of the

VAO, Buddy has worked to

build a collation of government

agencies, non-profit organiza-

tions and key leaders. There are

two focuses; first to assist all

Veterans, no matter when they

left the service and the second is

the Returning Veteran’s Initiative

(RVI). They have identified the

needs of the returning Vets then

looked at the resources avail-

able. The result is “Navigating

the Road to Services for

Returning Veterans.” (See side

bar for more information.) A

copy of this is guide is available

through the United Way’s 2-1-1

information system.

One part if this initiative is the

Veteran’s Employment

Resolution signed by Mayor

Annise Parker on November 11,

2010. It states, that all things

being equal among the candi-

dates applying for a city job, the

Veteran will be hired for the job.

(Mayor Parker herself is the

daughter of a Veteran. Her father

served his country in the Army

82nd Airborne Division between

the Korean and Viet Nam Wars.)

The Greater Houston Area is the

second largest region in our

country to send people into the

military behind the Greater Los

Angeles Area. According to

Buddy, it only makes sense that

we must be the best city in the

nation to serve those brave men

and women when they return,

whether they served overseas or

stateside.

The first task of the VAO is to

determine the specific need of

the individual. There is no one

size fits all. Some Vets just need

direction to educational benefits.

Others may be suffering from

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

(PTSD) and have no idea where

to look for assistance. A female

may have been assaulted in the

service and needs emotional

guidance. Still others need to

find the Veteran’s Land Board,

find a medical referral or simply

need to pay a past due water bill.

Most of these resources are

available in the RVA guide, but

some people just need to speak

to someone in person.

Another very important thing I

learned while talking to Buddy

is that Riverside General

Hospital on Ennis near Elgin has

an in patient program for PTSD

sufferers. According to

Grantham this program is fully

funded but under utilized. Of

course, a referral is needed, but

the hospital is close to many liv-

ing in the Denver Harbor, Third

Ward and Fourth Ward Areas

and easier to get to than the

Veteran’s Hospital.

A huge focus of the VAO is the

homeless veteran issue in our

town. According to

www.wiki.answers.com, as

many as 150,000 people are

homeless in Houston. Of these

approximately one third are

Veterans. This means as many as

50,000 men and women that

served our country are living on

the streets. Homeless Veterans

have their own unique needs.

The VAO has several programs

to identify and direct these lost

souls to programs that are able

to meet their specific needs.

Through organizations such as

the Salvation Army, Star of

Hope, Goodwill and other

groups these people can regain

purpose in their lives and live a

productive existence.

The Houston Police Department

under the leadership of Chief

Charles A. McClellend Jr. has

developed a program to identify

homeless Vets and direct them to

resources available. Many of

these people have no idea that

they are eligible for assistance

and do not know how to locate

the sources. Receiving a disabili-

ty of $1000 a month can make

the difference between despair

and hope. Many who begin

receiving benefits, although still

living on the street, see a rise in

the quality of their lives. They

are cleaner, shave more often,

have nicer clothes and make

medical appointments more

often.

Another focus of the VAO is

their ability to set the stage for

non-profit groups’ success.

Influencing legislation and help-

ing groups get together is one

way to insure their success.

Additionally, the office sends

out information to various

groups so they can respond more

quickly to the needs of returning

veterans.

What is the best way to get in

touch with the City of Houston

Veteran Affairs Office? First,

you can call 3-1-1. This link will

put you in touch with the City

operator that can direct you to

this office or any other resource

in Houston. You can also contact

the United Way at 2-1-1. The

City of Houston is doing every-

thing it can to make Houston the

city that loves its Veterans and

Buddy Grantham is leading that

charge.

What is Truth? John17:17“Sanctify them through thytruth: thy Word is truth.”

There are many in the religiousworld today proclaiming to be“Christ-ians”. The name itselfindicates ownership. There aremany proclaiming to belong toChrist, but they are thinking anddoing things their own way.There are lifestyles, things thatare put in place for worship, andtitles that are given to men thatcannot be found in the apostles’doctrine. It is certain these aretraditions of MEN becauseagain, they cannot be found forUSAGE in the APOSTLES’DOCTRINE, which is in NewTestament Scripture. But wehave been WARNED AGAINSTusing these names by GOD, andthe LORD and SAVIOURJESUS CHRIST. We cannothave it our way, if we belong toChrist “Christ-ians” we must doit His way because, we are notour own, we have been boughtwith a price (1Cor.6:19-20).Christians must deny themselvestake up the cross daily and fol-low Christ (Luke9:22-25). Theblueprint of The One Body, TheOne Church that Christ is build-ing and is the head of, is foundin The Apostles’ Doctrine, whichis in New Testament Scriptures(Matt.16:17-18;Eph.1:21-23;Eph.3:20-21; Eph.4:4-5andCol.1:16-19). Now let usread in The Apostles’ Doctrineas it defines those that belong toChrist. He that hath an ear lethim hear, and then strive todo, if we are to be “They thatare Christ’s”.

In the religious world today,there are many titles worn bymen. Let us focus at this time onfive; Holy; Reverend; Father;Rabbi and Master. We believethat most have heard of thesetitles, and many have used them,honestly believing that thesetitles should be used whenaddressing one of the “cloth”.The Word teaches that those ofGod heareth His word John8:46 “Which of you convincethme of sin? And if I say the truth,why do ye not believe me? 47He that is of God heareth God’swords: ye therefore hear themnot, because ye are not of God”.God made it clear in Matt.17:1-8, that He was well pleased withhis beloved Son and that wemust hear him, verse 8 “Andwhen they had lifted up theireyes, they saw no man, saveJesus only”. Jesus also made itclear how we must believe onhim, and that is through hisapostle’s word, please readJohn17:17 “Sanctify themthrough thy truth: thy word istruth.18 As thou hast sent meinto the world, even so have Ialso sent them into the world.19And for their sakes I sanctifymyself, that they also might besanctified through the truth. 20Neither pray I for these alone,but for them also which shallbelieve on me through their

word; 21 That they all may beone; as thou, Father, art in me,and I in thee, that they also maybe one in us: that the world maybelieve that thou hast sent me”.Those of the Church that Christis building, (see Matt.16:18)must continue in the Apostle’sdoctrine, just as those before usbecause; “Acts 1:1 The formertreatise have I made, OTheophilus, of all that Jesusbegan both to do and teach, 2Until the day in which he wastaken up, after that he throughthe Holy Ghost had given com-mandments unto the apostleswhom he had chosen: 3 Towhom also he shewed himselfalive after his passion by manyinfallible proofs, being seen ofthem forty days, and speaking ofthe things pertaining to the king-dom of God: 4 And, beingassembled together with them,commanded them that theyshould not depart fromJerusalem, but wait for thepromise of the Father, which,saith he, ye have heard of me.Acts2:41 Then they that gladlyreceived his word were baptized:and the same day there wereadded unto them about threethousand souls. 42 And theycontinued stedfastly in the apos-tles’ doctrine and fellowship,and in breaking of bread, and inprayers.” We must also adhere totheir commandments 2Pet.3:1“This second epistle, beloved, Inow write unto you; in bothwhich I stir up your pure mindsby way of remembrance: 2 Thatye may be mindful of the wordswhich were spoken before bythe holy prophets, and of thecommandment of us the apostlesof the Lord and Saviour: 3Knowing this first, that thereshall come in the last daysscoffers, walking after their own(1)lusts, Jude 1:17 But,beloved, remember ye the wordswhich were spoken before of theapostles of our Lord JesusChrist; 18 How that they toldyou there should be mockers inthe last time, who should walkafter their own ungodly lusts. 19These be they who separatethemselves, sensual, having notthe Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved,building up yourselves on yourmost holy faith, praying in theHoly Ghost, 21 Keep yourselvesin the love of God, looking forthe mercy of our Lord JesusChrist unto eternal life.”Definition: (1)own lusts-1939epithumia (ep-ee-thoo-mee’-ah);from 1937; a longing (espe-cially for what is forbidden):KJV— concupiscence, craving,desire, lust (after).We have heard these statementsmade, “God came to me and toldme”; “Jesus came to me and toldme”. We submit that there is noneed for God, or Jesus to comeand tell us anything. The ApostlePaul, as he and the rest of theApostles, were guided by theComforter, the Holy Spirit,states that we must (#1)READ,and then (#2)LISTE� orHEAR the apostles words, so

that we will ALL understandtheir knowledge in the mysteryof Jesus Christ; 2Cor.1:12 “Forour rejoicing is this, the testimo-ny of our conscience, that insimplicity and godly sincerity,not with fleshly wisdom, but bythe grace of God, we have hadour conversation in the world,and more abundantly to you-ward.13 For we write none otherthings unto you, than what ye(1)read or (2)acknowledge; andI trust ye shall acknowledgeeven to the end”

Definitions: (1)read-314 anaginosko (an-ag-in-oce’-ko);from 303 and 1097;to know again, i.e. (by exten-sion) to read, 1) to distinguishbetween, to recognise, to knowaccurately, to acknowledge 2) toread: KJV— read.

(2)acknowledge-1921 epigi-nosko (ep-ig-in-oce’-ko);from1909 and 1097; to know uponsome mark, i.e. recognize; byimplication, to become fullyacquainted with, to acknowl-edge1) to become thoroughlyacquainted with, to know thor-oughly, to know accurately, toknow well a) to recognize bysight, hearing, d) to know, thatis, to understand: KJV— (ac-,have, take) know (-ledge, well),perceive.

Eph.3:1 “For this cause I Paul,the prisoner of Jesus Christ foryou Gentiles, 2 If ye have heardof the dispensation of the graceof God which is given me toyou-ward: 3 How that by revela-tion he made known unto methe mystery; (as I wrote afore infew words, 4 Whereby, whenye read, ye may understand myknowledge in the mystery ofChrist.) 5 Which in other ageswas not made known unto thesons of men, as it is nowrevealed unto his holy apostlesand prophets by the Spirit;” TheApostle Paul also state that wemust study so that we can showthat we are approved unto God,rightly dividing the Word ofTruth, a workman that needethnot be ashamed (2Tim.2:15-16).The Apostle Paul did not say toTimothy, “Listen for God orJesus to talk to you, so that youcan show thy self approved untothem.” The apostle Paul toldTimothy to STUDY, this beingso, we must conclude that weALL MUST STUDY,(read andunderstand) to show(to prove)ourselves approved (acceptable)unto GOD, “a workman (1)thatneedeth not to be ashamed,(2)rightly dividing the word oftruth. 16 But (1)shun profaneand (2)vain babblings: for theywill increase unto more ungodli-ness.” According to the apostles’doctrine, if anything else isHEARD or TAUGHT, it is notof THE TRUTH

Definitions:(1)A workman that needeth notto be ashamed 422 anepais-chuntos-having no cause to be

ashamed

2)rightly dividing the word oftruth-3718 orthotomeo (or-thot-om-eh’-o); from a compound of3717 and the base of 5114, tomake a straight cut, to cutstraight ways i.e. (figuratively)to dissect (expound) correctly(the divine message), to proceedon straight paths, to hold astraight course, equivalent todoing right, to teach the truthdirectly and correctly: KJV—rightly divide.

(1)shun-4026 periistemi (per-ee-is’-tay-mee); from 4012 and2476; to stand all around, i.e.(near) to be a bystander, or(aloof) to keep awayfrom:KJV— avoid, shun, standby (round about).

(2)vain babblings-2757 keno-phonia (ken-of-o-nee’-ah); froma presumed compound of 2756,5456; empty sounding, i.e. fruit-less discussion, empty discus-sion, discussion of vain and use-less matters: KJV— vain.

According to scripture, Jesusand the Holy Spirit told theApostles All they needed toknow, read please John17:6 “ Ihave manifested thy name untothe men which thou gavest meout of the world: thine theywere, and thou gavest them me;and they have kept thy word. 7Now they have known that allthings whatsoever thou hastgiven me are of thee. 8 For Ihave given unto them the wordswhich thou gavest me; and theyhave received them, and haveknown surely that I came outfrom thee, and they havebelieved that thou didst send me.9 I pray for them: I pray not forthe world, but for them whichthou hast given me; for they arethine”. As the Word has beenwritten and as we read and studyit, it should shape our minds,thereby forming a conscious bythe Word, see Heb. 4:12 “Forthe word of God is quick, andpowerful, and sharper than anytwoedged sword, piercing evento the dividing asunder of souland spirit, and of the joints andmarrow, and is a discerner of thethoughts and intents of theheart.” How does one errorfrom the truth? Let us readMatt 22:29 “Jesus answered andsaid unto them, Ye do err, notknowing the scriptures, nor thepower of God.”Remember the purpose of thesearticles is to share with yousome scriptural truths, therebyexposing error,by finding through the (1) pre-ponderance of scripture anddefinitions, “What Is Truth?”(John 17:14-17).We believe this allows scriptureto interpret scripture, therebyallowing a better chance ofunderstanding that topic.(1)pre·pon·der·ance -.Superiority in weight, force,importance, or influence (ofscripture). Now let us read what

the scriptures teach on thesenames/titles, so that we will notbe in error.

Please Get Your Bibles andFollow this Study: The lesson:Holy and Reverend is His�ame!

Ps 111:9 He sent redemptionunto his people: he hath com-manded his covenant for ever:(1) holy and (2) reverend is his(3) name. 10 The fear of theLORD is the beginning of wis-dom: a good understanding haveall they that do his command-ments: his praise endureth forever.(KJV)

Definitions;(1)Holy- 6918 qadowsh (kaw-doshe’); or qadosh (kaw-doshe’); from 6942; sacred (cer-emonially or morally); (as noun)God (by eminence), an angel, asanctuary: KJV— holy (One),holy, the Holy One, a saint, setapart

Matt 10:28 And fear not themwhich kill the body, but are notable to kill the soul: but ratherfear him which is able to destroyboth soul and body in hell.(KJV)

Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thingto fall into the hands of the liv-ing God. (KJV)

Heb 13:6 So that we may bold-ly say, The Lord is my helper,and I will not fear what manshall do unto me.(KJV)

Psalms chapter 111 verses9&10, has simply and firmlymade it clear, that the namesHOLY and REVERE�Dbelong to GOD and to GODonly! Man is not worthy of suchtitles, note the definition of rev-erend, to fear; to cause to fright;be afraid; fearful etc..Matt.10:28 teaches us that weare not to fear man, because mancan only kill the body. Pleaseremember “Heb.10:31 It is afearful thing to fall into thehands of the living God.” Sowhy do men wear such titles orallow them to be used when oneis being referred to, withoutscriptural correction? Is itbecause we do not know thescriptures? Is it because we donot understand the truth, or is itbecause we are vain?

WHAT IS TRUTH: “SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH: THY WORD IS TRUTH.”

October 2011 A King-Size View Page 9

In Matt.5:48 we are taught tobe perfect/holy like God, this iswhat man should strive for, thisis our duty not our name, it isHis �ame. All men sin fromtime to time, and man in and ofhimself, cannot be our helper,but the Lord is (Heb.13:6).

Matt 23:6 And love the upper-most rooms at feasts, and thechief seats in the synagogues, 7And greetings in the markets,and to be called of men, Rabbi,Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called(1)Rabbi: for one is your(1)Master, even Christ; and allye are brethren. 9 And call noman your father upon the earth:for one is your Father, which isin heaven. 10 Neither be yecalled masters: for one is yourMaster, even Christ. 11 But hethat is greatest among you shallbe your servant. 12 And whoso-ever shall (1)exalt himself shallbe (2)abased; and he that shallhumble himself shall be exalt-ed.(KJV)

Definition;(1)Rabbi-4461 rhabbi (hrab-bee’); of Hebrew origin [7227with pronominal suffix); mymaster, i.e Rabbi, as an officialtitle of honor: KJV— Master,Rabbi.1) my great one, my hon-orable sir 2) Rabbi, a title usedby the Jews to address theirteachers (and also honor themwhen not addressing them)

(1)exalt himself-5312 hupsoo(hoop-so’-o); from 5311; to ele-vate (literally or figuratively):KJV— exalt, lift up.5311 hup-sos (hoop’-sos);from a deriva-tive of 5228; elevation, i.e.(abstractly) altitude, (specifical-ly) the sky, or (figuratively) dig-nity: KJV— be exalted, height,(on) high.c) metaphorically,rank, high station

Just as the first two titles/namesHoly and Reverend, the scrip-tures are equally firm and clearon the last three, Rabbi, Masterand Father. Man is not worthy ofthese titles, according to Matt.23:5-12. What parts of the truthare we not clear on? The LordJesus did not stutter, he simplyand firmly said in verse 8 ofMatt. 23 chapter, “...be not yecalled Rabbi; for one is yourMaster, even Christ; and ye areALL brethren.” All, of theChurch by Christ are brethren;there is no eminence, one overthe other (1Pet.5:1-7). He goeson to firmly teach in verse 9,“And call no man your fatherupon the earth...” Then he tellsus why, “...for one is yourFather, which is in heaven.”Then in verse 10 “Neither be yecalled masters: for one is your

Master, even Christ.” Please donot forget verses 11 & 12. Thereis no confusion in scripture,when it states honor thy fatherand mother (Matt.15:4), and forthe cause of marriage, one shallleave father and mother(Matt.19:5). These scripturesonly prove, that the father men-tioned in this study, is not one ofthe flesh, but one of SPIRITU-AL EMINENCE; SUPERIORI-TY, and AUTHORITY. Allpower belongs to God, and Godgave it to the one in whom hewas, and is well pleased, hisbeloved Son. Again, No fleshlyman is worthy. Please read;Matt.17:4-8; 28:16-20; Acts4:12.There are offices that wereAUTHORIZED by GOD; theLORD JESUS, and HISApostles: Prophets, Apostles,Elders, Bishops, Deacons,Ministers, Evangelist etc.; andhe left some qualifications andwarnings for these offices;Matt.7:13-23;1Cor.9:1-2;Eph.3:1-5; 4:1-30; Col.1:21-29;1Tim.3:1-14; 1Tim.4:1-16;1Tim.5:1; 5:17-20; 2Tim4:1-5;Titus1:5-11; 1Pet.5:1-5;2Pet.1:1-21; 2Pet.2:1-4;2Pet.3:1-2; 1John4:1-6;Jude1:16-19.

Ps 146:3 Put not your trust inprinces, nor in the son of man,in whom there is no help. 4His breath goeth forth, he retur-neth to his earth; in that veryday his thoughts perish.(KJV)

Isa 2:22 Cease ye from man,whose breath is in his nostrils:for wherein is he to be account-ed of ? see also Jer.17:5 (KJV)

Matt 17:4 Then answered Peter,and said unto Jesus, Lord, it isgood for us to be here: if thouwilt, let us make here three tab-ernacles; one for thee, and onefor Moses, and one for Elias. 5While he yet spake, behold, abright cloud overshadowedthem: and behold a voice out ofthe cloud, which said, This is mybeloved Son, in whom I am wellpleased; hear ye him. (KJV)

Matt 28:16 Then the eleven dis-ciples went away into Galilee,into a mountain where Jesus hadappointed them. 17 And whenthey saw him, they worshippedhim: but some doubted. 18 AndJesus came and spake untothem, saying, All power is givenunto me in heaven and inearth. 19 Go ye therefore, andteach all nations, baptizing themin the name of the Father, and ofthe Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observeall things whatsoever I havecommanded you: and, lo, I amwith you alway, even unto theend of the world. Amen. (KJV)

Acts 4:12 Neither is there sal-vation in any other: for there isnone other name under heavengiven among men, whereby wemust be saved.

Mark 7:21 For from within, outof the heart of men, proceed evilthoughts, adulteries, fornica-

tions, murders, 22 Thefts, cov-etousness, wickedness, deceit,lasciviousness, an evil eye, blas-phemy, pride, foolishness: 23All these evil things come fromwithin, and defile the man.(KJV)

1 Cor 4:6 And these things,brethren, I have in a figure trans-ferred to myself and to Apollosfor your sakes; that ye mightlearn in us not to think of menabove that which is written,that no one of you be puffed upfor one against another.(KJV)

2 Cor 12:6 For though I woulddesire to glory, I shall not be afool; for I will say the truth: butnow I forbear, lest any manshould think of me above thatwhich he seeth me to be, or thathe heareth of me. 7 And lest Ishould be exalted above measurethrough the abundance of therevelations, there was given tome a thorn in the flesh, the mes-senger of Satan to buffet me,lest I should be exalted abovemeasure. (see verses 8-10)

Again we ask the question, whydo “RELIGIOUS” MEN wearsuch titles as, Holy; Father;Reverend; Rabbi and Master,appearing as though they areabove others? Why do theyallow these names to be usedwhen being referred to, withoutSCRIPTURAL CORRECTIONto those that call them thesetitles? Is it because we do notknow the scriptures, nor THEPOWER OF GOD (Matt.22:29)?Is it because we do not under-stand the truth, or is it becausewe are vain? According toscripture, God and JesusChrist command those thatbelong to them, not to becalled these titles thatBELO�G TO THEM O�LY?If we belong to Christ (Christ-ians) we must follow THEHEVENLY FATHER throughCHRIST and HIS apostles.

2 Pet 1:16 For we have not fol-lowed cunningly devised fables,when we made known unto youthe power and coming of ourLord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. 17 Forhe received from God the Fatherhonour and glory, when therecame such a voice to him fromthe excellent glory, This is mybeloved Son, in whom I amwell pleased. 18 And this voicewhich came from heaven weheard, when we were with himin the holy mount. 19 We havealso a more sure word ofprophecy; whereunto ye dowell that ye take heed, as untoa light that shineth in a darkplace, until the day dawn, andthe day star arise in your hearts:20 Knowing this first, that noprophecy of the scripture is ofany private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not inold time by the will of man:but holy men of God spake asthey were moved by the HolyGhost.

There are those in the religiousworld, that might not wear thesetitles/names but are wearing fineclothing and jewelry; ridingaround in their fine cars and lim-ousines, with entourages appear-ing as though they are abovethose that struggle to support

them in these earthly things,Please read (2Cor.8:11-15;1Tim.6:3-11; 2Pet. 2:1-4). Whyare these things being done, bythose that profess to be spiritualleaders, when they are actuallyCARNAL leaders? Is it becauseof vanity and pride? By beingcontrary to scriptures, which isthe truth,precious souls are being lead inthe WRONG direction, (HELL).We must remember, God haschosen the poor, rich in faith, tobe heirs to the kingdom, to themthat love him; John 14:15 If yelove me, keep my command-ments. John 14:21 He that hathmy commandments, and keep-eth them, he it is that lovethme: and he that loveth me shallbe loved of my Father, and Iwill love him, and will manifestmyself to him. John 14:23 Jesusanswered and said unto him, If aman love me, he will keep mywords: and my Father will lovehim, and we will come untohim, and make our abode withhim. 24 He that loveth me notkeepeth not my sayings: and theword which ye hear is not mine,but the Father’s which sent me. IJn 2:1 My little children, thesethings write I unto you, that yesin not. And if any man sin, wehave an advocate with theFather, Jesus Christ the right-eous: 2 And he is the propitia-tion for our sins: and not forours only, but also for the sins ofthe whole world. 3 And herebywe do know that we know him,if we keep his commandments. 4He that saith, I know him, andkeepeth not his commandments,is a liar, and the truth is not inhim. 5 But whoso keepeth hisword, in him verily is the loveof God perfected: hereby knowwe that we are in him. 6 He thatsaith he abideth in him oughthimself also so to walk, even ashe walked.

God hath chosen the foolishthings of the world to confoundthe wise; God hath chosen theweak things of the world; Andbase things of the world, That noflesh should glory in his pres-ence (see again 1Cor 1:26-31).Religious leaders must lead bythe example of the TRUTH. Wemust also remember that accord-ing to the truth, vanity and prideare evil, and that God resisteththe proud, but giveth grace untothe humble. Because of our van-ity and pride, there are manythat Idolize and even Worshipthe created, creature, MAN,rather than The CREATOR;Please read (Rom.1:25;Gal.5:22-26; Eph.4:17-20;Col.2:8; 2Pet.2:17-19).According to scripture, we mustnot mind these earthly things(Rom 12:16; Phil 3:16-20;

PRECIOUS is Time. Therefore while you have

time, use it to learn and do Gods Commandments

for at the end of life is pay time and your pay will

be according as your work has been. You will find

in 2 Corinthians 5:10 the following: “For we must

all appear before the judgement seat of Christ,

that everyone may recive the things done in his

body according to that he hath done, whether it

be good or evil.” You will find in John 15:14. “Ye

are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command

you.” Solomon said in Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man

will hear and will increase learning, and a man of

understanding will attain unto wise counsel.”

How shall we escape if we neglect to great

Salvation: Hebrew 2:1-3 Salvation is to be worked

out. It will not work itself out; God will not work

it out for us. �o one can work it out for us. It is

the duty of man to work out his own salvation.

How! With fear and trembling. Phil. 2:12. Pray

fervently, attend the Lord’s Day Worship, Be on

As the Junior Varsity Cobras

football team squeezed past the

North Forest Bull Dogs 13-7, it

was the leadership of Jordan

Guidry to lead them to victory.

In a long game with the out-

come in doubt all the way until

the end Guidry held his team

together. After a long disputed

series, he rushed around right

end for big yards and put the

Cobras in scoring position. At

one point he also found Ashton

Callaway with two big pass

completions that setup Callaway

two scoring runs as well. But

time and time again it was

Jordan’s hard nose running that

led to the win. He also spent a

great deal of the game making

plays in the defensive secondary

making key stops as the game

went on. It wasn’t until Smiley

Leblanc recovered a fumble late

in the fourth period which

allowed the Cobras to breeze a

sigh of relief.

We spoke with Jordan about the

flow of the game. “They kept on

blitzing and we didn’t handle it

very well at first”. However

Jordan said they have the poten-

tial to be one of the best teams

in the league but it’s simply not

working out that way.

He went on to praise the Bull

Dogs for being ready to play

and playing a good ballgame.

“They were coming at us pretty

good and we just had to dig

deep and play hard to win the

game”.

When asked how a lineman

caught up with him after he

appeared to be headed for a

touchdown in the fourth period

he replied, “well to be honest

with you sir he had a good angle

on me”.

Jordan said if they keep listen-

ing to their coaches they can go

all the way to the Super Bowl.

As the Junior Varsity Studewood

Cobras wanted to get rolling

after a 2-2 start, they faced the

North Forest Bull Dogs in their

home opener at Booker

T.Washington Field. Setback

Ashton Callaway scored both

their touchdowns in their 13-7

win to move to 3-2 for the sea-

son. He spoke with us after the

game in which he did not only

score the two winning touch-

downs but he also grabbed two

passes from quarterback Jordan

Guidry in the win. “Well I was

kind of scared when I saw num-

ber 52 coming but I went on,

passed by him and made the

touchdown”. Later in the game

as the Bull Dogs were driving

but the Cobras stopped them and

then following the blocking of

Shamire Hightower they scored

again as Callaway did his thing.

“Well it was tough but when we

stopped them I knew we had to

get some more points to beat

them”.

The soft spoken Callaway said if

the defense listens to the coach-

ing staff they will win more

games. “We’ve been playing

around at our practices and it’s

time for us to get serious and

win these next three games and

make the playoffs and go to the

Super Bowl like we’re supposed

to do”.

Over the years the Studewood

Cobras have always expected to

get to the title game year in and

year out. During the conversa-

tion with all the players you

heard the words Super Bowl.

That’s a true testament as to how

the coaching staffs have made it

clear to the players they are

expected to do well all the time!

As the season hits the midway

point, the Studewood Cobras

finally had a home game. They

hosted the North Forest

Bulldogs sponsored in part by

Bogany Properties and won

three of the four games. It was

also the debut of the Cobras new

35th anniversary Fiesta spon-

sored uniforms along with their

brand new equipment trailer.

Seem like only yesterday but the

Cobras started in 1976 with help

from the late Mrs. Orelia Smith,

the Late Bud McCoy and the

legendary James “Big Daddy

Pen” Penrice. Shannon Powell

of the Harris County Sheriff

Department and several others

started out with the Cobras.

The flag team six years and

under rolled to 25-0 victory as

Cameron Waller and Erick

McCoy each scored touchdowns.

Waller broke into the open on a

run of 30 yards and the look on

his face said it all. Photographer

Jerry L. Woodley Jr. captured it

for us and when you look at the

photo it tells the story of just

how much fun he was having.

Clourid Johnson and Josiah

McDaniel added some good play

for the Flag Cobras who won for

the 4th time against one loss this

year.

The Freshmen Cobras of leg-

endary Walter Penrice dropped

their game to the Bulldogs 20-7

after a 7-7 at the half. A big

interception return for a touch-

down by Jonah Burton sealed

their fate. The Dogs also got

some good play from Andre

Darden.

On the varsity level the Cobras

exploded to a big 35-0 win to

pull even at 2-2. Anthony “Pac

Man” Davis led the way scoring

twice and having a couple of

more scores called back due to

penalties. Tyrell Thompson

added a score as well as Beda

Drake and Erick Hubert to round

out the 35 point explosion.

Perhaps the biggest battle came

in the junior varsity game won

by the Cobras 13-7 as Ashton

Callaway scored both touch-

downs for the Cobras. Jordan

Guidry showed a great deal of

leadership qualities while direct-

ing the team on offense from the

quarterback position and calling

the shot from his defensive back

position for the defense as well.

Kharee McDaniel and Taran

Powers did well along with

Tyler Brown for the game. The

line play had a lot to do with the

Cobras winning this one as well.

Shamire Hightower led the way

on offense and it was Smiley

LeBlanc who recovered the

finals fumble to seal the win.

Homecoming for the Cobras is

Saturday October 29 at Booker

T. Washington Field with a start

time of 9:30 AM.

Before a crowd of roughly 9,000

fans, the Kashmere Rams rum-

bled past the Wheatley Wildcats

28-7 at Delmar. The win took

place in the 6th Annual

Lockwood Classic and moved

Quarterback John Gibbs passed

for one score and ran for another

as the Booker T. Washington

Eagles clawed their way past the

Wheatley Wildcats 14-7. Gibbs

sneaked in from four yards out

and then found former

Studewood Cobra Da’Shamon

Haynes from 31 yards out for a

touchdown in the second period.

The Wildcats only score came

when Xavier Howard ran in

from one yard out in the fourth

period.

The Madison Marlins rolled past

Westbury 31-13 as Everett

Anderson led the way with two

touchdowns.

Levi Stevenson recovered a fum-

ble for a score while Anthony

Wiltz III ran six yards for anoth-

er to lead the Kashmere Rams to

a 21-10 win over the Worthing

Colts. The win is the Rams 6th

of the season against three losses

but more importantly it makes

the Rams 5-0 in district action

and have at least a share of the

title with one game to go. Darius

Mitchell added a scoring run of

five yards and setback Albert

Davis had 83 yards on 14 carries

the lead the Rams to the win.

The Katy Tigers made it look

easy as they pounded Memorial

45-0 as quarterback Brook

Haack hit on 11 of 17 passes for

151 yards and two touchdowns.

Receiver Jordan Thompson

grabbed three of those passes for

67 yards and a touchdown.

yards and two touchdowns in

only 15 carries.

La Porte got the upper hand on

North Shore 38-30 to move to 3-

0 in district action as the

win is the Bulldogs 7th this sea-

son against one loss.

Shane Rhodes the son of former

Smiley all-state linebacker

Bobby Rhodes had 71 yards

receiving and one score and 72

yards and two more on the

ground as Klein Collins ran past

Klein Forest 49-37. Running

mate Marcus Goodson added

165 yards on 14 carries and

struck pay dirt three times. The

win moved Klein Collins to 3-2

and kept their playoff hopes

alive. A leg injury forced all-

state player Matt Davis to the

sidelines in the second period

and the Texas A & M pledged

player did not return hurting

Forest chances of winning the

contest.

It was 1982 since Bellaire had

beaten Lamar in football and

quarterbacl Darrell Colbert saw

too it the streak continued.

Colbert hit on 12 of 25 passes

for 161 yards and all three

Redskins touchdowns in a 20-16

win. The Cardinals came about

as close as they have in years

having won four of five district

games and have a 6-2 mark for

the season. Lamar is 6-2 also

but more importantly they are 5-

0 in district action headed into

their showdown with Madison

Friday 10/28/11. Bellaire led 13-

6 at the half but missed some

opportunities that cost them in

the end.

Clear Creek clinched a playoff

berth with a 26-14 win over the

Yellowjackets of Alvin.

Quarterback Austin Smith led

es for 334 yards and three touch-

While covering the home opener

for the Studewood Cobras we

were in the process of getting a

group shot of the Junior Varsity

Cobras. It was then I was

approached by lineman number

67 Shamire Hightower asking to

take a solo photo of him before

the game. So we promised him

we would watch him closely to

see how well he blocked and

then decided if we would take a

photo of him after the game. As

soon as the game was over we

spotted Shamire and he asked

“well sir I did I do ok?” I think

he did very well and I noticed

during the game he was talking

with the other lineman and

keeping them in line.

We spoke with him after the

game and gathered some of his

thoughts. “The line was pretty

good and we were not blocking

and allowing the Bull Dogs to

run straight through the gaps”.

The mild mannered young line-

man went on to say he told his

teammate to pinch to the inside

and keep the Bull Dogs out and

that how we got the touchdown

that Ashton (Callaway) had.

Not being bashful at all,

Hightower made it clear he con-

siders himself a leader on the

line for the JV Cobras. “If we

all do what our coaches taught

us in practice we can be the best

in the league”. Again you hear

it from the players the coaching

staffs are working very hard

with these kids.

In closing the lineman praised

the Bull Dogs for putting up a

real good fight but he said the

Cobras did pretty well.

Some players are born to be

leaders and others just grow into

the position. Well since

Anthony Davis family came to

Houston after the big storm, he

has fit right into the Studewood

Cobras football program. On

Saturday as the Varsity Cobras

got off to a slow start in their

game with the North Forest Bull

Dogs, Pac Man as his teammates

call him asked coach Reggie

Washington to let him go in at

running back. Well it worked

because he scored four times

having two of them called back

because of penalties. “I didn’t

feel Erick (Hubert) and Tyrell

(Thompson) were running as

hard as they could so I wanted

to go in and show them what

they needed to do”. It worked

because both Hubert and

Thompson added scoring runs in

the win as well as Beda Drake

in the 35-0 shutout win.

We spoke with him about wear-

ing dreads locks and he said he

saw them on NFL players and

wanted some so he grew them.

The team is 3-2 this year and

Davis said he plays qurterback

for the team and he truly feels

that’s his favorite position. Pac

Man went on to say he feels he

had the arm strength and the

proper attitude to play the posi-

tion as well.

He attends Sugar Grove

Academy and loves Science best

in the classroom. “I like working

with animals and Science has

always been very interesting to

me”.

Michael Vick of the Philadelphia

Eagles is his favorite NFL quar-

terback and he likes the fact

Vick can scramble in the back-

field and throw the ball down

field as well as run the ball.

As we talked more with Davis

we learned he would like to see

Sugar Grove Academy have a

band, football and basketball

team.

In closing Pac Man said it felt

good to come to Houston and

land with the Studewood Cobras

Organization. “I really don’t

miss New Orleans much

because we go back for the

Madi Gras in February but I

enjoy playing for the Cobras.”

The North Forest Bull Dogs got

revenge over the Studewood

Freshman Cobras as they won

20-7 to hand the Cobras their

first loss of the season. Thanks

to an interception returned for a

touchdown by defensive back

Jonah Burton, the last few min-

utes ticked away on the Cobras

Freshmen squad. Burton talked

with us about the play that

sealed the win. “I first thought

the ball was going to go over

my head but I looked again and

I jumped up to catch it, then I

starting running with it until I

got into the end zone.

Burton is a student at Kipp 3D

Academy and likes Math best in

the classroom. The Bull Dogs

are sponsored in part by ERA

Bogany Properties.

The Cobras freshmen had won

over the Bull Dogs earlier in the

season and this victory was

great for Burton and his team-

mates.

It’s been four years since Reggie

Washington coached the

Studewood Cobras to a Super

Bowl title. Some of those play-

ers are playing big roles on their

high school teams today. This

year varsity squad is 3-2 after

they whipped the North Forest

Bull Dogs 35-0. Getting some

nifty running from Anthony

“Pac Man” Davis who scored

twice and had two more called

back, the varsity wasted no time

in taking the game big.

In talking with Reggie, who is a

1986 graduate of Booker T.

Washington High School, we

learned you have to see what

you have year in and year out.

“You never know in little league

King and sometimes you have to

dig deep to find the way to get

these kids going”. Having a big

win is fine but Reggie is looking

for consistency game in and

game out. “We got a good win

over a rebuilding Bull Dog team

but we are looking for wins over

real established teams”.

We moved on to talk about the

problems the inner city schools

have to compete with all the out-

line area schools. “Yes King,

but most of the kids we have in

our program are not from the

Studewood Height area but from

all around”. Washington went

on to say they certainly try to

get parents to consider

Washington and other inner city

schools. Referring to junior

utility player William Gibbs,

who is starring at Washington

and is the son of former

Washington great Rev. John

Gibbs. “I’m not taking any cred-

it but you know we had Will

with us on our Super Bowl team

and he is doing well for them

now and there are others at

Lamar like Peanut (Zelt

Minor)”.

He admitted its rough seeing

local kids playing in other colors

than the Blue and Gold of the

Eagles and the Studewood

Cobras.

As we talked more with

Washington, he shared some of

the facts involved with keeping

the program intact. “Sure it

goes hand and hand but now we

have some middle school coach-

es who actually have little

league teams and they are look-

ing out for their future interest

as well. Washington is

employed with the City Water

Department and spends a great

deal of his time working with

the Cobras organization. “I

wouldn’t have it any other way

King, it’s all about the kids and

we have to do a better job of

keeping our kids in our area”.

Having coached DaShamon

Haynes who lives in Humble but

still plays at Washington along

with Jacobee Conway and

William and John Gibbs,

Washington feels good about

that. “I’m proud of the way

Gibbs is playing now and it

shows that hard work really does

pay off”.

People come and go in little

league just like any other busi-

ness, but this is 35 years for the

Cobras and coach Walter Penrice

is our base and I’m honored to

be riding his coat tail and the

Cobras with Fiesta and your

help, we are still going strong.

In closing Reggie made it clear

some of the inner city coaches

have been very inconsistent

when it comes to their efforts to

keep the kids in the community.

“This allows other area coaches

to come in and get players, but

back in the day coaches would

come out to the Cobras and get

our players for Washington.

COACH OF THE WEEK-REGGIE WASHINGTON-COBRASBy King Arthur Prayther

A King-Size View

Over the last week or so, invita-

tions to conferences have been

sent out to those schools that are

wanted and NOT to those that

thought they were wanted. UH,

SMU were supposedly named in

an invitation to the ‘BIG EAST’.

It’s only good if they accept. But

this was interesting to quite a

few pundits. According to the

Boise State President Dr. Bob

Kustra, they have not received

an invitation as of yet to any

conference other than the one

they already have. And that is to

The Mountain West, where they

are supposed to start play in the

2012 season. Meaning, you got

the pedigree; but we don’t know

about letting you play with us,

yet.

Then you have the Conference

USA-Mountain West teleconfer-

ence call on last week announc-

ing the football merger only to

attempt to keep hold of enough

schools to attempt to get to BCS

AQ (Automatic Qualifier) status.

Money, Money, Money! That’s

still the phrase of the day. Take

this statement for what it’s

worth. These two conferences

are talking about being able to

sit down at table in about 90

days and start putting a com-

bined C-USA-Mountain West

football schedule. 90 days, good

luck and you still haven’t put a

name or a commissioner to be in

charge of this super whatever.

And now you’ve got the next

revenue drawing college sport

starting in less than 30 days,

Basketball. Conference media

days are going on right now as

we go to print. On last week

Dallas, Texas hosted the 2011

Conference USA Basketball

Media Day, where the basketball

coaches had plenty to say. I’m

heading off to Kansas City for

BIG XII this week, should be

interesting. There should be

quite a bit of conversation from

a few basketball coaches that

have plenty to say about what’s

going on around them. Because

their season hasn’t started yet,

they’ve had time to watch all

this, as one coach called it, “all

this rigga maroo, going on.” And

another, “They didn’t ask me if I

liked moving and if it was going

to be a good fit. Heck, the

Wife’s asking questions, the kids

are asking questions. Folks,

when the household is in an up

roar, that’s not a good thing on

any level.” So, here we are still

trying to sort it all out. As a cou-

ple of coaches went the ‘Lou

Holtz’ route. We’re young, got

some transfers, got to find a way

to make it all work, not very

good, the non-conference sched-

ule should get us prepared for

conference play. Blah-blah-blah-

blah-blah-blah-blah.

Keep watch on ‘The WAC’,

they’ve found a way to make an

FBS conference work on the

regional and national level, with

FBS Bowl affiliations. And you

ask how, 1) Commissioner Ken

Benson has stayed on top of

comings and goings of the

schools within his conference

region. Figuring out what will

work and what will not. 2) Don’t

know the particulars of their

school exit policy, but its work-

ing. 3) The invitee’s are from the

region and have stable fan sup-

port that will travel within the

region. It’s called knowing who

you are and making it work!

Lastly, and don’t ever forget, in

sports the only difference and

constant is size, depth, and

strength of players. Money,

Money, Money! Be sure to

October 2011 A King-Size View Page 21

We are please to announce that

our KI�G-SIZE Mover and

Shaker for the month of

October is James Davis. owner

of Davis Meat Market, which is

located at 2204 Lockwood,

Houston, Texas 77020. You can

reach the Davis Meat Market by

phone at 713.672.1803. They are

open 7 days a week, from

6:00am to 5:00pm Mondays

through Saturdays; 7:00am to

2:00 pm on Sundays. Mr. Davis

was born on March 2, 1939 and

as long as he can remember, he

knew that one day he would be

in business for himself.

Counting today, he has been the

owner of Davis Meat Market for

over 27 years. He informed me

that he moved to Houston from

Hammond, Louisiana in 1956.

As a north side resident

(Studewood and Acres Homes),

I asked him why in the world

did he settle in Fifth Ward? Mr.

Davis stood up and told me, “I

moved to Fifth Ward because

Fifth Ward means something to

Black People”. He stated that

“you know Wheatley High

School is just across the freeway

and you can’t say BASKET-

BALL without saying

Wheatley!!!” He went on to say

that “in Fifth Ward we had some

of the best restaurants, best

movie theaters, and our own

hospital. He added that the best

thing about this is that all of the

businesses were own by Black

people. Mr. Davis went on to

say that there was no need to go

downtown for anything, we had

everything we wanted and need-

ed in Fifth Ward”. He reminded

me of Club Matinee, which

became known as the Cotton

Club of the South. He stated that

“James Brown, BB King, and

even Elvis” were regular per-

formers at Club Matinee. Then

he mentioned the Duke-Peacock

Record Company which was

owned by Mr. Don Robey.

The history lesson went on as he

stated that “in Fifth Ward we

had our own printing company,

tailor shops, photography stu-

dios, and even a funeral home”.

As the interview went on, Mr.

Davis stated that he “has been in

the meat business for over 40

years”. He and wife Patricia who

is also from Louisiana have one

son Jonathan who also works at

the meat market. He is currently

completing a degree in finance

at the University of Houston.

Between the history lesson and

the discussion about Wheatley

basketball, I had an opportunity

to look around the meat market.

Let me tell you, they had a vari-

ety of meat and food products to

offer. They had everything from

Chitterlings to Chili. He had

peach cobbler, pecan candy, and

even my grandfather’s favorite

cracklins (pork skin for the now

generation). Mr. Davis added

that he also provides family

packs and freezer pack specials.

He stated that “he had a steam

table and sells his own home

made smoke sausage”. During

the interview, I noticed they also

had a steady flow of customers.

As I concluded my interview, I

asked him if he had any summer

sausage and cheese, his response

was do you want to try some of

my home made summer sausage

and what type of cheese do you

want? I decided on the home-

made summer sausage and some

American cheese. Both were

delicious, I even took some to

church with me and we all

enjoyed it. His son even gave

me a cooking lesson on how to

cook meat on the grill. I can

truly say that I will return to

Davis Meat Market.

Before I left their meat market,

Jonathan and his mother wanted

me to know that Mr. Davis is

also a mentor to many of the

young people in the community

and according to Jonathan, his

dad has given many high school

and college students their first

job at the meat market. Mr.

Davis also volunteers in the

community and is willing to

donate his food and services in

anyway he can to help others.

Mr. Davis we are extremely

proud to honor you as this

month’s Mover and Shaker.

A KING-SIZE MOVER AND SHAKER: JAMES DAVISBy Dr. Victor Keys

A King-Size View

�ote: I have watched and

read the newspapers over

the last few weeks and

seen two coaches in deep

trouble. First was La

Marque head basketball

coach Cedric Mason has

been accused of sexual

assault of a teenager.

�ext on the criminal hot

list is Lewisville assistant

coach Theodore Berry

facing charges of human

trafficking. I kept saying

to myself, ‘this has got to

be a joke!’. Is this the

example high school

coaches are providing to

our young athletes? Read

this old column I wrote

and tell me again-what’s

the role of a coach?

Please dear readers tell

me what is the role?

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A

HEAD COACH?

As I watched and enjoyed the

NCAA men and women basket-

ball tournament, my thoughts

remained on the absolute mess

that has become at Ohio State

University. I shouldn’t be sur-

prised at the trouble that was

caused simply because the head

football coach didn’t do the one

thing he was expected to do-tell

the truth. That remains the hard-

est thing on this planet to do;

telling the truth all the time no

matter what the consequences

are. My beloved mother once

told me telling the truth is easy;

it’s dealing with those who don’t

like truth that remains hard. I

can tell you that truth-telling is

an endangered species. People

just don’t want to hear it. It’s not

always lying but just not telling

the real story that has become a

major problem in our society.

For our athletes the question

first and foremost should be-

what is the role of a head coach?

What are the things besides

coaching ability that determine

just how good a coach he/she

can be? By now dear readers,

I’m no expert. I never claimed to

be one. I’m just a writer and as

my column title states this is the

way I see it. My opinion in my

newspaper. So here are a few

thoughts regarding the role a

coach must have.

1. Integrity-A head coach

must have integrity. No one

wants to play for a crook. The

program won’t accomplish any-

thing if it’s drowning with all

types of illegal activity. How can

a coach attract top athletes if

everything associated with the

program is rotten from the core?

2. Believability-Can I play

for coach who is dishonest. Is

everything that he/she says a lie?

Can he/she tell the truth about

anything? From playing time to

actual questions about life

issues, the coach must be able to

tell the truth and be believable in

doing so.

3. Accountability-

Basically the coach must be

accountable for any activity that

occurs regarding the team and/or

the coaches and staff members

that are associated. Pointing fin-

gers at the guilty members does-

n’t remove the coach’s responsi-

bity. All the cheers and the good

times associated with winning

means the coach must accept the

bad things that can happen to a

program.

4. Honesty-No coach

should be a part of any program

without being honest. Honest

about everything. This is a hard

thing to do. It’s hard because

honesty can sometime destroy

the team. But in the end dishon-

esty will shred your team and

everything about your team

including the most important

part-the coach himself.

I think many people believe

Vince Lombardi was right when

he said ‘winning isn’t every-

thing, it’s the only thing’. But I

would add a coach must be more

than winning. He should also be

living and teaching about life

which I would say living isn’t

the only thing, it’s everything.

That’s just the way I see it!

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A HEAD COACH? (UPDATED)The WayI See It

By BIG John Chandler

Having met his father at Con-

Way Freight a few years ago

James Young Jr. is clearly one of

the most impressive kids we’ve

ran across in a long time. During

his last grading period at

Claughton middle school in

Spring ISD James Young Jr. got

four A and one B. The handsome

lad is the son of Kenya and

James Young senior and is a

National Honor society student.

In his early years he was clearly

one of the top students in

Charlotte Allen’s history and he

continues at this great pace in

Spring. Reports are his parents

are filing paper work for him

attend St. Pius high school on an

honor merit scholarship.

We know James as the starting

running back on the Cobra

Varsity football team after he led

the Junior varsity team to the

super bowl three years ago. My

mind quickly goes back to the

day when James Young senior

asked me what could he do to

keep his children busy and com-

munity base activities and that

was easy we told him to get

them involved with the

Studewood Cobras. Now years

later all of their daughters have

been Cobra cheerleaders and

their sons Cobra football play-

ers. In talking with his mother

shortly after they joined the

Cobras she tells me this story.

Early the first Saturday morning

of his first Cobra game, she

noticed James was up and

dressed in his full football gear

at 6.00AM. That’s when they

knew they had made the right

decision to get involved with the

Cobras program.

With hobbies of playing basket-

ball and video games James said

he also plays the drums at his

grandmother church. On

Sundays at Changing Lives

Fellowship Holiness Church

you’ll find James striking up a

good beat for the Lord and he

says he truly loves playing

drums for the church.

When asked to describe himself

he smile and said; humorous and

athletic probably are the best

two things come to mind”.

On the subject of school changes

Young feels the administration is

doing a pretty good job and he

said he would not change any-

thing if they put him in charge.

Like all kids James admitted he

would love to play in the NFL

on Sundays but he also had a

desire to be a defense attorney

and he explained why. “I think a

lot of people go to jail because

they simply do not have good

representation and I would like

to help keep people out of jail

for simply mistakes in life”.

If he had anything to do over in

life he said he would have

worked harder to help the

Varsity Cobras get past the first

round of the playoffs last season.

“I thought we had a team good

enough to go the Super Bowl

last year but we were beaten in

the opening round of the play-

offs.

The Cobras Varsity beat the

North Forest Bull Dogs 35-0 but

James did not dress because of

injured right hamstring. “It’s

still sore and I can’t run full

speed but I hope to be back next

week.

We asked James what he thought

of President Obama becoming

the first African American

President of the United States.

“Oh I think it’s great to see a

Black man in the white house.

We then asked James what kind

of Job he thought the President

was doing in his first 3 years.

“I’d say a fairly good job not

great but I think he’s doing pret-

ty well”

In closing James said it’s an

honor to tell people he plays for

the Studewood Cobras and he

added sometimes people come

up to him and say “I heard you

play for the cobras and that

makes him feel good”. We

would like to thank Kenya and

James Young senior for taking

our advice and getting their kids

involved with the Studewood

Cobra Organization.

MAURICE SKILLERN COMING TO HOUSTONGrooves of Houston

2300 Pierce St.

Houston ,Texas 77003

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 @ 6pm - 10pm Maurice Skillern was born in Houston, Texas in August 1966. After graduating high school, he joined

the active duty ranks in The United States Army where he has spent most of his adult life. He earned his

Bachelors of Science from the University of Nebraska where he also earned his Masters in Physician

Assistant Studies. Maurice found early in life that he appreciated the play on words that poetry could

facilitate along with simply enjoying the individual songs from the hearts of poets that both amazed and

stimulated his own thoughts. He has read the works of many of the greats of poetry with a few of his

favorites being Edgar Allan Poe, Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes. He has also cultivated a mind

open to new thoughts and ideas which made philosophy a subject that he was immediately at home with.

In this pursuit, he has personally studied philosophers from Socrates and Aristotle to Sextus Empiricus.

It is the synthesis of these two disciplines that form the foundation of his current work, which he refers

to as “Poetic-Philosophy”*. In his writing, in a whimsical but focused fashion, he speaks of that which

is, while alluding to what could or what might be. He also uses catalytic and well designed phraseology

to effectively display new thoughts and ideologies. Some of his writ-

ings both challenge or question absolutes of this world, while still

offering thought provoking entertainment to all who have read them.

Always a visionary, a dreamer, he set out and began writing his first

book of poetic-philosophy in 1990, with a piece from it being pub-

lished in the anthology The Space Between in 1994. He continued on

his writing quest and furthered his exploration of many different

thoughts, ideas and forms of expression, which eventually culminated

in the creation and publication of his current book “Messages”.

The Prairie View A&M baseball

team had a special guest in atten-

dance on Tuesday afternoon as

former Houston Astros manager

and Major League Baseball

Player Cecil Cooper addressed

the team before the start of prac-

tice.

Raised outside of Brenham,

Texas, Cooper attended Prairie

View A&M as a student for sev-

eral years during the offseason in

the early stages of his profession-

al baseball career. Cooper began

his career with the Boston Red

Sox before joining the

Milwaukee Brewers. While with

the Brewers, Cooper flourished

as earned five All-Star Game

appearances, two Gold Glove

Awards and three Silver Slugger

Awards.

After his playing career came to

an end, Cooper served as a sports

agent before returning to baseball

in 1996. He worked his way up

the managerial ranks and eventu-

ally became the first African

American field manager for the

Houston Astros in August of

2007 on an interim basis before

earning the permanent title in

September of 2007.

“I think it was a great opportuni-

ty for our students to observe

someone like Cooper and for him

to be at our practice,” said head

coach Waskyla Cullivan. “It’s

encouraging for our guys to be

the best that they can be as Coach

Cooper was just like them at one

time.”

The Prairie View A&M Lady

Panthers swept Huston-Tillotson

for the second time this season

with a dominating 3-0 volleyball

victory Tuesday night at the Baby

Dome.

Lady Panthers head coach AliciaPete knew her team would have a

physical and mental advantage

over their opponent, but she

made sure her players did not

make the mistake of overlooking

Huston-Tillotson.

“I just told them to stay focused,

run our drills and do different

drills,” Pete said. “If we can keep

running different drills on teams

like Huston-Tillotson, I feel like

when we go up against the bigger

Division I teams we should be

able to have confidence.”

With junior Maria Moulaz back

in the lineup at setter, junior

Breanna Mc�eil took advantage

of her return as she led the attack

for the Lady Panthers. McNeil

had a team-high nine kills off of

18 attacks. Moulaz added a team-

high 22 assists.

Prairie View used this match as a

warm-up for a tough two-game

road trip that will put it against

Grambling State on Thursday

and Southern on Friday. The

Lady Panthers are still undefeat-

ed in Southwestern Athletic

Conference play, and Pete wants

this trip to end on a positive note.

“It’s really important,” Pete said.

“This trip will put us in a better

position for the SWAC

Tournament. I always tell the

girls to stay focused and let’s go

undefeated in our division, and

we should have a top seed for the

SWAC Tournament.”
