Dallas, Texas-As the years go by
it’s unbelievable just how much
manufacturers have added the
quality of their vehicles. One
such vehicle is the all new 2013
Lexus RX 450h 5-door SUV
with all the trimming and still
priced less than $54,000. This
new Lexus is powered by a
proven 3.5 Liter 24-valve,
DOHC V6 with VVT with front
electric drive motor with Lexus
Hybrid Drive. Producing 30
miles per gallon in the city an 28
on the highway, this engine is
mated to an electronically con-
trolled continuously variable
transmission with (ECVTi). Plus
electric power rack and pinion
steering for further handling
enhancements. The new Lexus
also has four-wheel power
assisted ventilated front and
solid rear disc brakes. All this
rolls to the ground on P 235/60R
18” All-Season tires circulating
around a set of 18” Aluminum
Alloy wheels.
It seems like only a few years
ago when Lexus introduced the
first crossover vehicle and since
that time these Hybrid models
have set a new standard when it
comes to affordable quality in an
automobile. Yet the automaker
has been able to keep the price
down as the quality continues to
rise.
Inside the new Lexus you see a
refreshed interior layout and
safety galore this model. Dual
advanced front airbags, driver
and passenger, knee airbags,
front and rear side curtain
airbags front and rear seat
mounted side airbags to name a
few. A 10-way power driver seat
and a power tilt and telescopic
steering wheel helps make you
comfortable complete with
adjustable head rest.
When it comes to stopping your
new Lexus you’ll have just as
much fun as taking off. Thanks
mainly to four-wheel anti-lock
braking system with EBD, BA
and vehicle stability controls as
well as smart stop technology.
Energy managing crumple
zones, side door beams helps to
protect you if you are unfortu-
nate enough to be in an accident.
Sounds comes from a 12-speaker
Premium Audio Package with
single DVD/CD player with HD
radio with iTunes tagging and
navigation system with voice
command, backup camera and
Lexus Enform screen multi-
media display. This also offers
destination assist and App suite,
Sirius XM NavTraffic Stocks,
Sports and weather for one full
year trial subscription.
Let me also add the new Lexus
is equipped with a Theft
Deterrent system with engine
immobilizer giving you peace of
mind. Leather trimmed interior
and one touch open/close moon
roof, power-folding electron-
ichromic heated outside mirrors
to round out some the key
options equipment.

$100 Million Investment to
Create Approximately 400 Jobs
North American Job
Announcements Total 1,500
This Year
ERLANGER, Ky. - Toyota
Motor Manufacturing Canada
Inc. (TMMC) announced today
that it will invest more than
$100 million and hire approxi-
mately 400 team members to
increase Lexus production at its
Cambridge, Ontario facility.
Overall Lexus capacity will
increase by 30,000 vehicles to
104,000 units, including 15,000
RX450h vehicles, the hybrid
electric version of the popular
Lexus.
Toyota is targeting early 2014
for expanded Lexus production.
“This is a big and ambitious
project with new technology,
exacting standards and tight
timelines,” said TMMC
President, Brian Krinock. “Our
team members have demonstrat-
ed time and time again that they
thrive on these kinds of chal-
lenges.”
TMMC currently manufactures
the Toyota Corolla, Matrix,
RAV4, RAV4 EV models and
the Lexus RX model in plants
located in Cambridge, ON and
Woodstock, ON. The company
currently employs approximate-
ly 6,500.
“The team members at TMMC
have shown tremendous dedica-
tion to creating high-quality
Lexus vehicles,” said Mark
Templin, Lexus General
Manager. “With rising demand
for our RX 450h hybrids, mov-
ing that production to an award-
winning North American plant is
great news for Lexus. We look
forward to partnering with
TMMC to continue the tradition
of manufacturing outstanding
RX luxury utility vehicles.”
Today’s announcement is the lat-
est in a string of Toyota North
American production increase
announcements since February
at plants in Indiana, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama
and the second in Canada.
Cumulative investment total is
approximately $745 million and
more than 1,500 jobs are being
added.
"This Lexus production
increase, and the several
announcements before it,
reflects our growing optimism
for an improving North
American market and our intent
to localize more production,"
said Steve St. Angelo, Executive
Vice President of Toyota Motor
Engineering & Manufacturing
North America, Inc.
Toyota continues to hold on to
the lead in Hybrid Synergy
System production with more
than four million units on the
road today. The 2012 Toyota
Camry Hybrid XLE Sedan is
clearly one of the world’s finest
buys. The vehicle is powered by
a 2.5 Liter-four-cylinder DOHC
16V with VVTI and an electric
continuous variable transmis-
sion. This generates 40 miles per
gallon in the city and 38 miles
per gallon on the highway. The
expected mileage will be
between 31 to 45 miles per gal-
lon depending on the driving
habits of the person behind the
wheel.
Power rolls to the pavement on
P215/55R17 17 inch tires
wrapped around 17 “Alloy
wheels. The handling is further
enhanced by electric power
steering and power assisted front
solid rear disc brakes with inte-
grated regenerative braking.
Anti-locking brakes with brake
assist and smart stop technology
as well as electronic brake distri-
bution. Or in laymen terms this
baby stops smoothly and swiftly
on demand.
When it comes to safety the new
Toyota Camry is again at the top
of the class. It starts with a five
star rating for driver in frontal
crashes and a four star rating for
passengers in frontal crashes. On
the side crashes the Camry gets
five star rating for both front and
rear seat riders and a four star
roll over rating by the NHTSA.
With 10 air bags including knee
and side seat mounted air bags
to make it clearly one of the
safest vehicles in its class.
Once you are inside the new
Camry you see a nearly perfect
layout with easy to read gauges
and the knobs and driver friend-
ly. A dual-Zone auto climate
control display audio 6.1 touch
screen with Am/FM/CD with
MP3/WMA with auxiliary jack,
USB with iPod connectively and
Bluetooth. The optional JBL has
a seven-inch touch screen with
10-speakers and 90-day free trial
satellite radio and much more in
the works when it comes to nav-
igation and backup camera.
The leather package includes
leather trimmed with ultra-suede
seats and door trim with seat
back pockets.
Other feature of the Camry
includes Multi-stage heated driv-
er and passenger front seats with
four-way power adjustable front
passenger seat. A power tilt/slide
moon roof and wheel locks
rounds out the special optional
equipment.
In closing let me add this vehi-
cle comes in just over $34, 00
and that’s amazing!
“I am excited to be appointed
the Chief Diversity Officer at
General Motors and to bring my
experience in promoting diversi-
ty and inclusion to this world-
class organization. For me,
Diversity and Inclusion is all
about improving the business.
To be the best, you need to
attract and empower the best
and brightest talent – and lever-
age that talent to drive innova-
tion and optimize workplace
performance.
To that end, it is critical to
attract, recruit, develop, mentor
and retain a diverse workforce.
Diversity encompasses all the
different traits, attributes and
perspectives each one of us
brings to the organization. It is
not just counting heads, but
making heads count. Being
empowered to bring differing
perspectives forward, spawning
new ideas and driving innova-
tion is where the next game-
changer will come. Positioning
General Motors to capitalize on
the diversity drivers inherent in
our global workforce is essential
as we move forward.
Again, it is great to be joining
GM’s winning team! I look for-
ward to building on the solid
diversity and inclusion founda-
tion GM has set in place, as well
as meeting the employees, cus-
tomers and other key stakehold-
ers that keep GM driving for-
ward.”

King Arthur Prayther Kenneth Barrett greeting
TOYOTA TO EXPAND LEXUS RX PRODUCTION IN CANADA
Lexus RX 450H
Hey Houston are you fed up
with your love life? If your love
life is not what you want and
you feel no love life is better
than being involved, you are not
alone. I received a letter from a
young lady, and I say young, she
was in her upper twenties. She
kept stating that she could not
stand men, and that all men are
dogs, and she had some pretty
choice words and seem to be
sticking to her guns. Her way of
dealing with it at this point was
to have a stiff drink with her sis-
ter and take men out of the
equation all together, and every-
thing would be just fine. That
maybe OK for the evening, but
tomorrow is a new day with new
situations. Sometimes not being
in a relationship for awhile can
help, as sometimes we need to
just focus on ourselves, our chil-
dren and our family. Believe it
or not a man or a woman is not
a necessity. It is essential for a
normal love life, but not for us
to love life. Sometimes our self
esteem can be ruined because of
some jerk. In her letter she
recalled an incident where she
talked to a guy over the phone,
when they met in a public place
which happened to be a club, he
acted and talked like he was
really into her but later to find
out he had blew her off to be
with some other female he just
met, and did it without remorse
in front of her as if she didn’t
exist. Has this ever happened to
you? I know it’s happened to me
so it’s not just men who can be
jerks, and I know it can hurt.
There will be times that every-
thing goes right with our rela-
tionships and quest for love,
then with the roses also comes
the thorns and you are bound to
get stuck sooner or later. You
can’t let one or two bad apples
ruin the whole barrel if you
know what I mean. And you
can’t go into another relationship
bringing baggage from a previ-
ous one. When you meet some-
one new you have to give them
the benefit of the doubt or it will
never make it off the runway
and into the air. So I can under-
stand taking a break from time
to time to regroup, but you can’t
give up and hate all others of the
opposite sex. Hmmm... what’s
the alternative - sometimes you
have the same problems, if you
catch my drift.
Recently on “In The Love
Corner” which you can listen to
every Wednesday at 8:00 pm, we
talked about why Women cheat?
This sensitive subject lead to a
very detailed and interesting
extensive conversation. Some of
the points to name a few were
that some women are just
cheaters, some do it for revenge,
lack of attention and lack of inti-
macy just to name a few. For an
evening of great music and love
talk join me and my co host EZ
and special guest on Wednesday
nights on AM 1430 KCOH.
The top love songs of the month
are 1. Get Here Oletha Adams 2.
Sparkle Cameo 3. I will Always
love you Whitney Houston 4.
Baby I’m Ready Gerald Levert
5. Easy Commodores.
Also like to thank Htown, GI
and Shazam for stopping by the
studio and letting us be one of
the first to play their new release
# One Facebook Friend. You can
check it on KCOH nightly.
So until next time
Houston, Texas-While in town
for the 103rd convention of the
NCAAP, the executives from
General Motors put together a
fantastic dinner at Quattro
Restaurant inside the Four
Season Hotel. Thanks to Jocelyn
K. Allen, GM Grassroots and
Diversity Communication, the
dinner was great plus and
allowed those smaller publica-
tions like A King-Size View an
opportunity to take part in the
process. Among the people from
GM who were present was
Gloria Tostado from the GM
South Central Region
Communications office in Dallas
as well as Vivian Rogers Pickard
who’s President GM Foundation
Director of Corporate Relations.
All very pleasant people to talk
with us and we look forward to
building a strong working rela-
tionship with the big automaker.
Certainly Dan Moon is doing a
wonderful job of handling the
logistics for GM product line at
ESI in Dallas. However this
night was for GM to introduce
their newly appointed Chief
Diversity Officer Ken Barrett.
The 28 year Naval Officer is hit-
ting the ground running and we
were impressed with his opening
remarks. Making it clear inclu-
sive is the word they want to
hear a lot of from this newly
created position and GM has a
good reputation as it relates to
the small segment of the market
place. It certainly brings back
memories for me when I see the
new Malibu and Impala on the
road and in the coming edition
we will have more news from
GM on some of the people who
are involved in the designing of
these new and exciting products.
We must admit this is a great
feeling seeing GM in this light
and we hope to make the most
of it.

We are honored to announce that
our King-Size Mover and
Shaker for the month of July is
Mr. Ronnie Coleman. After a
successful career in the NFL,
Ronnie met and married the lady
of his dreams, Mrs. Julia
Coleman. They have been mar-
ried for 27 years and have five
children. He and his wife are
both ordained ministers.
Together they have several min-
istries to include: a Relationship
Ministry and an Outreach
Ministry. Both ministries are
very powerful and effective. Mr.
Coleman and his wife have also
traveled extensively in Africa
and in 1982 they visited Haiti
during the reign of Papa Doc
Duvalier.
Mr. Coleman stated that “he has
also been an educator and retired
after 25 years of service”. His
career in education started at
Strake Jesuit. After his time
there he spent many years in the
Houston Independent School
District, where he taught and
coached at Wheatley,
Washington High School, and
Welch Middle School. He also
stated that he “worked in the
Alief, Katy, and Spring Branch
school districts before he
retired”.
Currently, Mr. Coleman is busy
helping two of his children pro-
mote a song they wrote entitled
“Go and Vote”. They have also
written several books together in
an effort to get young people out
to vote and to help re-elect our
president. Mr. Coleman added
that “the sales from the song and
the books will help with voting
rallies across the nation”. For
anyone who would like to pur-
chase a book or volunteer in
their voting efforts, he provided
the following email addresses:
julc14@aol.com and
ronnie.coleman3@aol.com.
In the future Mr. Coleman stated
that “he would like to expand
his role in the NFL by mentoring
young professional football
players”. He also plans to com-
plete his own book “Third
Down and Goal”. The book is
about how at 10 years old he
started drinking homebrew
and now he has been sober for
28 years. He added that “yes it
would include some details
about his football playing days
with the Houston Oilers”.
Missouri City, Texas-For the
fourth time retired technical
engineer Ronald Odom has won
the King-Size View Name This
Car Contest. Odom who has
been a long time reader of KSV
says he is glad the paper in on
line and it gives him something
to do and he just loves taking in
the prize money and shopping at
Fiesta as well. “I started reading
A King-size View when my chil-
dren were at Willowridge High
School and the paper has such
great high school sports cover-
age”. Mr. Odom noticed the Car
Contest where you can simply
name the year, make and model
of the vehicle in the photo and
win $125.00 and $50.00 in Gift
Cards to shop at Fiesta. “It’s a
good feeling reading all the pos-
itive news in this publication
and I enjoy it very much”. Mr.
Odom went on the air with
Tommy D. Armstrong and told
the Saturday evening listeners he
is looking forward to try his luck
at the next car as soon as the
paper comes out.
With a struck of luck rolling for
him Mr. Odom won a Mini-
Cooper in a TV 39 and radio sta-
tion when he guessed correctly
and then was lucky enough to
have the keys to the new car in
the T-shirt he won.
But we now have our first win-
ner in the Dallas Metro-plex as
King-size View expanded to five
more Fiesta stores in the
Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Remember all you have to do is
simply give us the name, make
and model of the vehicle in the
photo and you win. It’s just that
simple. If you are the first to
guess correctly you win. The
number to call is (281) 999-
4244. Go ahead and pick-up the
phone because you could be our
next winner!

Memphis, Tennessee-On
Wednesday August 1st at the
Memphis Hilton Hotel the Jus’
Blues Music Foundation will
hold their annual “Night of the
Living Legends” award cere-
monies celebrating Blacks in
Blues. This year the group have
selected Houston’s A King-Size
View publisher (King) Arthur
Prayther as the President’s
Award winner.
The publication is in its 15th
year and is sponsored by Fiesta
Mart Inc. and is primarily circu-
lated at 16 Fiesta Stores in
Houston and five more in the
Dallas Metro-plex. This month
the publication increased it out
put to 35,000 copies as well as
the World-Wide Web presence at
www.kingsizeview.com.
“When we received the email
from Mr. Charles Mitchell we
couldn’t believe it” said King
Arthur. “This is a pleasant sur-
prise to say the least and we are
honored to be in the presence of
such musical legends”. But for
those of you, who know the
King, knows he will make the
most of the opportunity and
bring back interviews to
Houston, Texas.
After meeting Soul and Blues
legend Ernie Johnson in 2007,
the King and E J have come
together on several projects.
The most of which is Johnson
and his big nine- piece Hot and
Steamy Band doing a series of
tributes to Soul and Blues greats
who have gone on to Glory
Land. It’s all part of Fiesta
Black History Celebration each
year in February with the honors
done for Johnnie Taylor, Otis
Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam
Cooke and Tyrone Davis, with
plans of doing more. In addition
to that Johnson and the King
have also worked together to
produce some catchy radio spots
for Fiesta. Johnson also has a
song “Congratulation Mr.
President” praising President
Barack Obama for the passing of
the Health Care Bill.
Interested parties can go to
www.kingsizeview.com and
click on to Fiesta Festival per-
formances and see one of the
latest shows E. J. paying tribute
to Tyrone Davis back in
February 2012.
Please take a look at some of the
photos that kind of gives you an
ideal of just how the King has
been involved in the community
over the years we think it will
bring back memories!

Plain and simple, nothing makes
me happier than the end of July.
This means dear readers that
August begins another football
season and hopes and dreams of
success fill the hearts of fans all
across the fruited plains.
Everyone has a deep dream that
this is their season; the one that
they have waited for all their
lives. By the first of February,
January and December, pro, col-
lege and high school fans will
watch someone else celebrate
and the tears of disappointment
will occupy the faces of every-
one. Then the long, hard off sea-
son and the wait to August
begins. But our August is here
and happiness is seen on football
fans everywhere. Reading our
pre season magazines hoping to
give our dreams a doze of reality
is the talk at water coolers all
over the country. I was asked by
a fan of the newspaper what I
would do to make my team a
winner. I told him to read the
next edition of A KING SIZE
VIEW and I would provide the
answer. Now first let me say at
each level, the only way to have
a possible winner is to have out-
standing players, a great coach-
ing staff and a support staff that
all have one goal-winning! Now
I must add that even having
those things may increase your
chances of winning but it does-
n’t guarantee it. Great teams
have failed to win champi-
onships. So as stated at the top
of this column, here is the way I
see it.
A quarterback must be in place-
Unlike athletes in key positions
in other sports, a quarterback is
essential to the success/failure of
a team. He is the team leader, a
person everyone counts on when
the game is on the line and a big
play is needed to win. The coach
counts on him to keep everyone
focused on the job at hand and
his leadership is the main key
towards winning.
A defensive leader: middle line-
backer-Simply put this is the
physical leader of the team. He
takes a lot of punishment but
gives even more. He is always
hurt, but he never leaves the
field. He yells at the defense and
offense players. He is a coach on
the field, in the sideline and in
the locker room. A middle line-
backer asks for no sympathy and
he gives none.
A receiver that makes big/small
plays-A great receiver has two
simple roles; make the big catch
every game and yet make the
simple catch that doesn’t make a
lot of conversations but when
you look at the film those catch-
es paid dividends that help seal
the win. He must make key
blocks to help secure first downs
and he must bail out his quarter-
back when the pass rush is about
to wreck havoc on the offense.
A defensive end that seeks and
destroys the quarterback-A great
defensive end has only one role;
rush the pocket and sack the
quarterback. He must attack,
attack, attack all the time. He
must be relentless and simply
put a very mean man. He may
be pound for pound the best
conditioned athlete on the team.
A kicker with no nerves-Watch
the loneliest player on the team
as he sits and waits until his
name is called. He practices with
the holder by himself. He must
be relaxed ready to contribute
when asked. The weather condi-
tions could be sunny, rainy, and
cold with snow and or biting
with gusty wind. Sometimes the
kicker must kick with the game
on the line. He must produce
when he is called. The clock is
about to strike zero. The kick is
in the air……..
A head coach that pushes the
right buttons-A head coach must
be leader, teacher, parent and
enforcer along with other roles
all into one. He doesn’t sleep for
several months at a time, must
be careful regarding is diet and
be very careful with his health.
He must trust his assistant
coaches to develop a top game
plan implement it and be pre-
pared to make changes when
everything is going wrong. He
must be able to go with his
hunches when everyone warns
him it won’t work. He must
know which players to trust and
replace –players that aren’t pro-
ducing. He must face the public
and accept the criticisms for fail-
ures and be humble after wins.
He must have that fire in his
belly to wake up the nest day,
ready to compete.
Trust me there be more to add to
this list. As I stated earlier, noth-
ing is guaranteed for success but
if none of the listed items are
present and this one is not there,
the desire to win, then it won’t
and I repeat won’t happen. Give
me a team that all want to win
and work hard at everything
they do, they’ll win. Maybe not
on the field, but in life itself. I’ll
take life winners every time.
That’s just the way I see it!

Beaumont, Texas-Graduating
number 42 in a class of 179,
Alexander Brown didn’t sit and
wait to be given a scholarship;
he went down to Beaumont’s
Lamar University and walked on
to the team. The talented offen-
sive lineman was a four year
varsity player at Booker T.
Washington High School and
one of his high lights was to
beat Jack Yates in the 7th
Annual Fiesta Booker-Bryant
Memorial Classic 14-13. Brown
said it was tough those first
three years when they lost to
Jack Yates. “We kind of thought
we could have beaten them my
junior year but it didn’t work out
but as seniors we really felt we
were going to win that game.
The mild-manner young man is
the son of Sharon Peavy and
Nelson Brown and says having
the Peavy name simply means a
little pressure. “Well I wanted
to make sure I lived up to the
name and worked hard and will
continue to do so”. When asked
if he would do anything different
in life if given an opportunity to
start over he replied, “No sir; I
feel I’ve done pretty good and
I’m excited to win the Fiesta
Booker-Bryant Memorial
Classic Scholarship because it
can help me get in school and
take some of the load off my
parents”.
We moved on to ask what it
means to have our first African
American president. “When Mr.
Obama won it showed that
blacks can be whatever they
want to be in life if we work
hard at it”. Brown who knew a
coach and a former Booker T.
Washington players at Lamar,
that helped him make his mind
up. But he also liked the cam-
pus and the fresh start of the
program and a chance to grow
with them. Having played varsi-
ty since the 9th grade at
Washington, he knows what it’s
like to start from scratch. “I
love the campus and the city
because I truly like the small
town country like setting Lamar
has to offer.
English was his favorite subject
at Washington but he plans to
major in Accounting because of
his love for the classes he took
at Washington and he feels it
challenging also. Poetry gets the
big guy’s attention as well and
he says he and his friends work-
out and have some good times
doing things together.
Moving to Beaumont next
month Brown says he going to
miss his usher job at South
Union Missionary Baptist
Church but he says what he
learned in the services will
always be with him.
If he could change anything he
says his senior year at BTW he
felt the fans support wasn’t what
he thought it could have been.
“I’d say we were probably at a
seven and I felt there could have
been more of an effort to get our
student body more into our
games”. He added everyone
was very excited about going
into the Jack Yates game and felt
the Eagles had a chance to win.
In closing Brown said he would
like to have his own sports
apparel store so he could give
back to the community!

Throughout time our troops have
sought the comforts of home
while on the battlefield. During
the Civil War soldiers on both
sides carried hardtack (a brittle
biscuit with little taste) which
was easy to carry and served as
quick nutrition. During World
War I our troops survived on
Reserve Rations. In 1941 K-
rations were introduced. Made
from crackers, hard sausage and
candy bars these meals provided
nutrition and calories but little
else. In the early 1980’s our
troops were given the MRE or
Meals, Ready to Eat. None of
these meals were particularly
appetizing but they did provide
the basics of nutrition.
During World War II, Korea and
Viet Nam soldiers looked for-
ward to goodies sent from home.
In some cases they were reward-
ed with homemade cookies or
other goodies provided by their
loved ones. Often by the time
the treats were received they had
deteriorated to the point that
they were unable to be eaten and
had to be tossed.
Our fighting men today have
much different conditions. The
heat of the dessert, insects, and
mobility issues create the need
for a different type of reward.
Fortunately there are many
ready to serve snacks available
packaged and easy to carry.
Unfortunately, there is not
always available. Someone to
send the goodies to them.
Operation Lone Star-Texans
Supporting Our Troops is one of
several organizations that are
determined to bring a little home
to the troops as they serve in a
foreign and hostile atmosphere.
Founded by Jim Conley,
Operation Lone Star-Texans
Supporting Our Troops is dedi-
cated to remembering our troops
and the sacrifice that they make
for us every day.
(Quoted form the Operation Lone
Star-Texans Supporting Our
Troops web site) Unfortunately,
in this 10th anniversary year of
the terrorist attacks of September
11, many Americans have forgot-
ten our brave heroes who paid the
ultimate price as well as those
who are still fighting the Taliban,
Al Qaida, and other terrorists
around the world. These men and
women should never be forgot-
ten.
We’ve praised the Greatest
Generation of World War II.
We’ve finally recognized the vet-
erans of Korea, otherwise known
as the Forgotten War, and those
honorable men and women of the
Vietnam War who chose to stand
for their flag rather than flee like
cowards to another country.
This generation of Warriors is
different. They are all volunteers.
They enlisted because it was the
right thing to do. They are heroes
in the truest sense of the word.
I spent a week with my son
before his unit, the 2nd Battalion,
7th Marine Regiment, deployed
to Iraq in 2007. I had the honor
and pleasure of meeting his
Marine buddies, a fine group of
young men. All volunteers. All
eager to do what they had been
training for. In spite of the risks
involved, and the sacrifice of
being away from their families, I
didn’t hear a single one say he
didn’t want to go.
Seven months after coming
home, having lost several mem-
bers of their battalion in Iraq, 2/7
deployed to Afghanistan. I again
spent the week before the deploy-
ment with my son and his Marine
brothers. As they were waiting
for hours at the staging area I
heard not a single one say he did-
n’t want to go. For some this was
their second, third, and fourth
deployments. Obviously they’d
rather be home with their fami-
lies, but they took a solemn oath
to defend the country they love.
My daughter deployed to Iraq
with the Army’s 810th Military
Police Company in 2009. As with
my son, I spent several days with
her prior to the deployment. I met
her buddies, non-commissioned
officers, and her commanding
officer. They were ready to do
their job. No complaints. No
arguing. They were ready.
Sandy, Operation Lone Star-
Texans Supporting Our Troops’s
Secretary/Treasurer has had the
same experiences. Her son, a
Marine sergeant, also deployed to
Iraq in 2009. She saw that same
willingness to do what was right,
to do what needed to be done.
Her daughter-in-law, also a
Marine sergeant, is currently
deployed aboard USS Kearsarge
off the coast of Libya. She and
her unit were ready to go. A few
months after her return, Sandy’s
son will deploy to Afghanistan.
Watching our loved ones, which
includes their buddies who are
now also our sons and daughters,
board those buses and drive away
is the hardest thing we’ve ever
had to do. But because we love
and support our heroes, we’ll be
there again if necessary.
We have to do whatever it takes
to make our friends and neigh-
bors remember these True
Americans, the hearts and souls
of our country. Today’s warriors
have been described as the best
our country has to offer. Let’s
keep them, and the military per-
sonnel serving all over the world,
in the hearts and minds of every-
one in this great country of ours.
Let’s fly those flags, attend cere-
monies, and donate to causes
such as Operation Lone Star-
Texans Supporting Our Troops
and other military support organ-
izations who provide much need-
ed support for our troops.
What is Operation Lone Star-
Texans Supporting Our Troops
doing to help? Suring a recent
talk with Secretary Sandy
Alexander, she explained that
they are attempting to provide
our troops with as many luxury
items as possible. By that she
means trail mix, DVDs, beef
jerky, reading material, pow-
dered drink mix and clean socks.
As small as these items seem to
us they mean a lot to a soldier in
the dessert or on a ship in a war
zone. As we wind down our
efforts in Iraq, there are still
thousands of troops in
Afghanistan that need some love
from home.
In order to achieve these goals
Operation Lone Star-Texans
Supporting Our Troops raises
awareness at events such as the
annual “Impact a Hero” run and
walk. They will also be at the
Houston Hot Sauce Festival that
will be held in Stafford on
September 15th and 16th. What
is most needed are donations of
the items listed above as well as
other ready to serve food items
(fruit cups, snack bars packaged
nuts and items that do not
require refrigeration or prepara-
tion). They can also use base-
balls; cool down collars and toi-
letry items. (Please note that any
literature or video items must be
family friendly due to
Government regulations and the
protocols set by the foreign gov-
ernments where our troops are
serving.)
Also needed, of course, is the
financial assistance needed to
mail these items to our troops.
Our government does not pro-
vide postage or shipping for
these groups. According to
Sandy, even unused gift cards
can be donated. Wal Mart and
other grocery cards can be used
to make purchases of needed
items.
Another suggestion is to hold an
Operation Lone Star-Texans
Supporting Our Troops drive at
your school or workplace
instead of the gift exchange that
nobody really wants. With
Thanksgiving coming up in a
couple of months, giving thanks
for our fighting men and women
is a great way to celebrate.

As we end one school year and
begin another we have a very
special young man to profile in
this Fiesta Student of the Week.
He’s Jamespaul Tristian Bryant
who just finished from Jack
Yates as Mr. Yates. Bryant fin-
ished with a 3.3 grade point
average and number 30 in a
class of 246 as a graduating sen-
ior. “It was an honor to serve as
Mr. Yates and to have the other
students at our school look up to
me”. The mild mannered young
man went on to say he felt using
the knowledge taught to him by
his parents and it played a big
role in his life. “They taught me
to do what I’m supposed to do
when you suppose to do it and
things have a way of working
out with God’s help”.
The handsome lad is the son
Scherra and Tim Bryant and is
the grandson of the legendary
James “Bear”Bryant who led the
Booker T. Washington Eagles to
the state semi-final in 1968,
becoming the first predominate-
ly black high school to do so in
the University Interscholastic
League. He is also the Bryant in
the Fiesta Booker-Bryant
Memorial Classic which is
scheduled to be played on
October 26, 2012 this year.
Jamespaul went on to say he is
inspired when he played in the
game the past three years know-
ing the game honors his grandfa-
ther. We also learned that it was
Bear Bryant who named
Jamespaul and the legend lives
on. Fact is his older brother Tim
Bryant is Mr. Prairie View and
his younger brother Titus started
as a freshman at Jack Yates and
is figured to be one of the best
lineman of all-times before he is
done.
Word is Jamespaul plans to
walk-on at P.V. this fall; the tal-
ented athlete was expected to
play receiver at Yates because
his great catching ability he had
while playing with the
Studewood Cobras, but once the
Yates coaches saw him on
defense they kept him at line-
backer and defensive end. He
went on to lead the Lions in
sacks the past two years.
In the classroom at Yates
Jamespaul favorite subject was
English and enjoys writing and
going on-line doing research on
sporting events. But at P.V. he
plans to major in Education and
Human Performance and later
even become a coach.
On the field Bryant is inspired
by Adrian Hamilton who led the
Panthers in sacks the past two
years and signed a free agent
contract with the Dallas
Cowboys. “I plan to work hard
and get a spot on this team and
with the Lord’s help I would like
to follow in Hamilton’s footsteps
and play on the next level”.
On Sundays you’’ find the
Bryant family over at Wheeler
Avenue Baptist Church where
Jamespaul is an Eagle Scout and
a member of the chapel choir.
Crediting his grandmother (Mrs.
Charlotte Kelly-Bryant) with
teaming up with his parents to
make sure he stays on the
straight and narrow path. “They
made it clear to me a long time
ago that when you work hard
and follow God’s word things
have a way of working out”.
When asked if he would change
anything at Jack Yates if given
an opportunity to be principal he
stated “No Sir; I think Miss
Sheppard is doing a wonderful
job and students are coming to
class at a much larger rate now
and Yates is certainly in good
hands”. Sheppard is the first
female to head at the historic
high school in Third Ward.
His thoughts of President Barack
Obama are clear as it is very
inspirational to see the first
African American President. “It
shows that we can actually hold
that office and I think the
President is doing a very good
job and fully expect him to be
re-elected for a second term”.
In closing Jamespaul considers
himself a man of God and is
very determined to live a good
life and showing a high standard
of character. We agree with him
because that’s just the way we
see him. By the way Jamespaul
T. Bryant is the winner of this
year’s Fiesta Booker-Bryant
Memorial Classic Scholarship.

In one of the biggest battles in a
football game is the way in
which the cheerleaders battle all
game long. Fact is the TSU
Lady Tigers cheerleaders are one
of the best in the country at get-
ting their fans into their games.
While the Lady Panthers cheer-
leaders from P.V. are just as
good, so anytime the two teams
meet sparks fly. The competition
is from horn to horn and they
never stop. Over the years we at
A King-size View have always
covered their battles and look
forward to this year’s show
down on September 1 in Reliant
Stadium. The fun starts at
7.00PM and you it’s going to be
on as one of the oldest rivalries
in the country take place at TSU
and P.V. go at again. The
Panthers have won five straight
games but the halftime and
cheerleaders spirits showdowns
have gone back and forward.

LABOR DAY CLASSIC PITS TSU VS PV CHEERLEADERS
The TSU Cheerleaders are as good as any in the country
Houston, Texas-In these days of
troubled times, one has to won-
der if the historically black uni-
versities Administrators are los-
ing their caring instincts? Fact
is the black university is special
and those of us who follow them
closely are confused to say the
least. There was a time when
we put our best foot forward and
went out of our way to make
sure we did the best when we
faced the public. But now it
would appear it’s about who’s in
my little circle I can employ and
make life better for my cousins,
despite the fact someone else
was much more qualified for the
position. Case and point would
be the historically black univer-
sities are having all kind of
problems as it relates to NCAA
rules and regulations. Is it that
they are not hiring good compli-
ance officers or is that they sim-
ply are showing a disregard for
the rules set by the NCAA?
Every time you look at the sport
news you hear about another
black school with a low gradua-
tion rates and our students are
simply not making the cut.
Could we fall for the excuse
they say they are financially
scraped and simply do not have
funds to recruit good student
athletes? These are some of the
excuses made by officials of
these universities but every time
you see them in the newspaper
they are receiving another check
and yet no one ever sees what
these grants and donations are
supposed to be doing. Fact is
it’s time for our black universi-
ties to get their act together and
educate our children the way
they once did. Money is no
longer an excuse when you take
a look at the budgets of these
schools. Wasteful spending is a
big part of the problem and no
matter how many different
coaches and administrators they
put in place the problem still
remain the same.
There use to be a time when the
black university produced quali-
ty people who went out and
made a position impact on their
communities. Ask yourself
when was the last time you saw
a good solid black college grad-
uate making a positive impact in
their community?
Part of the problem could be
major corporations simply write
checks to these universities
without following up to see just
where those funds are going.
Fact is in the past the corpora-
tions would assign someone to
watch over the funds they donat-
ed so that it went into the pro-
grams they wanted it to. In
order to help solve this problem
those same corporations are
going to have to get back to
watching what they give and
how it is used so that it will help
get our youth a fair chance at
getting a quality education.
For too long we have read about
scandal after scandal at our his-
torically black universities and
it’s clearly time for them to
clean out their act. In laymen
terms they simply need to shape
out or ship out.
Getting back to caring for the
university and its students as
well as their athletes is what it’s
going to take to get back on
track. Or could it really be that
due to the lack of caring
instincts by administrators, the
black university is losing its use-
fulness?

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
time, Take active part in Singing, Teaching of God
Word, Giving as we prosper and taking the
Lord’s Supper with death.

Dear reader, we are again sothankful for the opportunity toshare with you some SCRIP-TURAL TRUTHS. Again wethank Mr. Prayther and staff, andof course Fiesta for allowing usthis opportunity. There areMANY professing Christianity,“followers of Christ”. If this istrue, then this is GOOD.

Now after reading, understand-ing, and accepting the WORDSof the Lord and Savior JESUSCHRIST; it is NOT the MANYbut the FEW. This study, as allare, is for SELF CHECKINGaccording to the WORD; forthere be few that are willing tolive a 24/7, SELF-DENYING,Christian lifestyle. So, inChristianity the old saying “themajority rules” doesn’t apply.The Word of TRUTH RULES,and there be FEW that accept IT.Contrary to what seems to be thebelief that living a Christian lifeis easy, according to Christ thisis not true; because it is a suffer-ing lifestyle of denying our sec-ular wants, fun, pleasures etc.This is why we believe accord-ing to the Word, that the words“Christian” and “Christianity”are the most miss-applied wordson earth. It was not easy forChrist, or for those that followedhim. He lived a suffering, selfdenying lifestyle while here, thatended most cruelly on the cross,for our sake. Beware of falseteachers in sheep’s clothing,which teach “Christ suffered forus, we don’t have to, and all wehave to do is believe”. Christspeaks to the contrary, for DEV-ILS BELIEVES and trembles(James2:17-26), but they WILLNOT OBEY, which takes us intothis study: IF A�Y MA�WILL COME AFTER ME,LET HIM DE�Y HIMSELF
Matt 16:21 From that time forthbegan Jesus to shew unto hisdisciples, how that he must gounto Jerusalem, and suffer manythings of the elders and chiefpriests and scribes, and bekilled, and be raised again thethird day. 22 Then Peter tookhim, and began to rebuke him,saying, Be it far from thee,Lord: this shall not be unto thee.23 But he turned, and said untoPeter, Get thee behind me,
Satan: thou art an offence untome: for thou savourest not thethings that be of God, but thosethat be of men. 24 Then saidJesus unto his disciples, If anyman will come after me, let himdeny himself, and take up hiscross, and follow me. 25 Forwhosoever will save his lifeshall lose it: and whosoever willlose his life for my sake shallfind it. 26 For what is a manprofited, if he shall gain thewhole world, and lose his ownsoul? or what shall a man givein exchange for his soul? 27 Forthe Son of man shall come in theglory of his Father with hisangels; and then he shall rewardevery man according to hisworks.

And Peter took him,and began to rebuke him. 33 Butwhen he had turned about andlooked on his disciples, herebuked Peter, saying, Get theebehind me, Satan: for thousavourest not the things that beof God, but the things that be ofmen. 34 And when he had calledthe people unto him with his dis-ciples also, he said unto them,Whosoever will come after me,let him deny himself, and takeup his cross, and follow me. 35For whosoever will save his lifeshall lose it; but whosoever shalllose his life for my sake and thegospel’s, the same shall save it.36 For what shall it profit a man,if he shall gain the whole world,and lose his own soul? 37 Orwhat shall a man give inexchange for his soul? 38Whosoever therefore shall beashamed of me and of my wordsin this adulterous and sinful gen-eration; of him also shall theSon of man be ashamed, whenhe cometh in the glory of hisFather with the holy angels.

But Jesus answerethagain, and saith unto them,Children, how hard is it for themthat trust in riches to enter intothe kingdom of God! 25 It iseasier for a camel to go throughthe eye of a needle, than for arich man to enter into the king-dom of God.26 And they were astonished outof measure, saying among them-selves, Who then can be saved?27 And Jesus looking upon themsaith, With men it is impossible,but not with God: for with Godall things are possible. 28 ThenPeter began to say unto him, Lo,we have left all, and have fol-lowed thee. 29 And Jesusanswered and said, Verily I sayunto you, There is no man thathath left house, or brethren, orsisters, or father, or mother, orwife, or children, or lands, formy sake, and the gospel’s, 30But he shall receive an hundred-fold now in this time, houses,and brethren, and sisters, andmothers, and children, and lands,with persecutions; and in theworld to come eternal life. 31But many that are first shall belast; and the last first.

Phil 3:7 But what things weregain to me, those I counted lossfor Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and Icount all things but loss for theexcellency of the knowledge ofChrist Jesus my Lord: for whomI have suffered the loss of allthings, and do count them butdung, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not havingmine own righteousness, whichis of the law, but that which isthrough the faith of Christ, therighteousness which is of Godby faith: 10 That I may knowhim, and the power of his resur-rection, and the fellowship ofhis sufferings, being made con-formable unto his death; 11 If byany means I might attain untothe resurrection of the dead. 12Not as though I had alreadyattained, either were already per-fect: but I follow after, if that Imay apprehend that for whichalso I am apprehended of ChristJesus. 13 Brethren, I count notmyself to have apprehended: butthis one thing I do, forgettingthose things which are behind,and reaching forth unto thosethings which are before, 14 Ipress toward the mark for theprize of the high calling of Godin Christ Jesus. 15 Let us there-fore, as many as be perfect, bethus minded: and if in any thingye be otherwise minded, Godshall reveal even this unto you.16 Nevertheless, whereto wehave already attained, let uswalk by the same rule, let usmind the same thing. 17Brethren, be followers togetherof me, and mark them whichwalk so as ye have us for anensample. 18 For many walk, ofwhom I have told you often, andnow tell you even weeping, thatthey are the (1)enemies of the(2)cross of Christ: 19 Whoseend is destruction, whose God istheir belly, and whose glory is intheir shame, who (3)mind(4)earthly things.) 20 For our(5)conversation is in heaven;from whence also we look for

1 Pet 2:19 For this is thankwor-thy, if a man for consciencetoward God endure grief, suffer-ing wrongfully. 20 For whatglory is it, if, when ye be buffet-ed for your faults, ye shall takeit patiently? but if, when ye dowell, and suffer for it, ye take itpatiently, this is acceptable withGod. 21 For even hereuntowere ye called: because Christalso suffered for us, leaving usan example, that ye should fol-low his steps: 22 Who did nosin, neither was guile found inhis mouth: 23 Who, when hewas reviled, reviled not again;when he suffered, he threatenednot; but committed himself tohim that judgeth righteously: 24Who his own self bare our sinsin his own body on the tree, thatwe, being dead to sins, shouldlive unto righteousness: bywhose stripes ye were healed. 25For ye were as sheep goingastray; but are now returnedunto the Shepherd and Bishop ofyour souls. (KJV)
1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then asChrist hath suffered for us in theflesh, arm yourselves likewisewith the same mind: for he thathath suffered in the flesh hathceased from sin; 2 That he nolonger should live the rest of histime in the flesh to the lusts ofmen, but to the will of God. 3For the time past of our life maysuffice us to have wrought thewill of the Gentiles, when wewalked in lasciviousness, lusts,excess of wine, revellings, ban-quetings, and abominable idola-tries: 4 Wherein they think itstrange that ye run not withthem to the same excess of riot,
speaking evil of you: 5 Whoshall give account to him that isready to judge the quick and thedead. (KJV)
1 Pet 4:12 Beloved, think it notstrange concerning the fierytrial which is to try you, asthough some strange thing hap-pened unto you: 13 But rejoice,inasmuch as ye are partakersof Christ’s sufferings; that,when his glory shall be revealed,ye may be glad also withexceeding joy. 14 If ye bereproached for the name ofChrist, happy are ye; for thespirit of glory and of God restethupon you: on their part he is evilspoken of, but on your part he isglorified. 15 But let none of yousuffer as a murderer, or as athief, or as an evildoer, or as abusybody in other men’s mat-ters. 16 Yet if any man suffer asa Christian, let him not beashamed; but let him glorifyGod on this behalf. 17 For thetime is come that judgmentmust begin at the house of God:and if it first begin at us, whatshall the end be of them thatobey not the gospel of God? 18And if the (1)righteous(2)scarcely be saved, whereshall the ungodly and the sinnerappear? 19 Wherefore let themthat suffer according to the willof God commit the keeping oftheir souls to him in well doing,as unto a faithful Creator.

I Jn 2:15 (1)Love not the(2)world, neither the things thatare in the world. If any manlove the world, the love of theFather is not in him. 16 For allthat is in the world, the lust ofthe flesh, and the lust of theeyes, and the pride of life, is notof the Father, but is of theworld. 17 And the world passethaway, and the lust thereof: buthe that doeth the will of Godabideth for ever. 18 Little chil-
dren, it is the last time: and as yehave heard that antichrist shallcome, even now are there many(3)antichrists; whereby weknow that it is the last time. 19They went out from us, butthey were not of us; for if theyhad been of us, they would nodoubt have continued with us:but they went out, that theymight be made manifest thatthey were not all of us.

Dear reader, after reading theseinstructions given by the Lordfor one to be His follower; havewe confessed, (praised) Him byapplying these things to ourlives (true Christians)? Or havewe denied Him by �OT deny-ing OURSELVES thereby beingDISOBEDIENT (antichrists)?Remember the purpose of thesearticles is to seek the TRUTHaccording to THE WORD,thereby exposing ERROR,which is false doctrine, for thepurpose of saving our souls. Webelieve this is best done by defi-nitions and the PREPONDER-ANCE OF SCRIPTURES;which is having superior weight,force, importance, or influenceof SCRIPTURE. Again webelieve this allows SCRIPTUREto INTERPRET SCRIPTURE,thereby allowing a better under-standing on that topic. Thanksagain for your interest in theWORD of TRUTH; GRACEand SALVATION; John 17:17-21; Acts 20:29-32; James1:21-25. After all it is our MAP toHEAVEN, and away fromHELL!
