Ludington - Its the end of a high-flying era at two west
Michigan state parks. After 17 years at Mears State Park
and 12 years at Ludington State Park, Air Fun Kites of
Pentwater, Michigan, offered its final Kite Night Aug. 4
at Ludington State Park. Mike and Susan Castor, owners of
Air Fun Kites, began the program in 1997, helping campers
of all ages to build and fly their kites on the shore of Lake
Michigan.
Since the program began, the Castors provided free
materials and instruction for visitors to make a total of
17,866 kites. The couple is now entering retirement, but
their Kite Nights at the parks have left many campers and
park staff with fond memories.
Mike and Sue have given generations of families a
wonderful gift of happiness and memories through kite
making and flying, said Allan Wernette, interpreter at
Ludington State Park. Our staff and visitors will certainly
miss their generosity and love for making children happy
ages 3 to 103. The Castors helped to give Ludington State Park its outstanding reputation as one of
Michigans favorite state parks.
In 2014, each park hosted four Kite Nights, with a total of 715 participants. The last program of
the season brought in the highest participation this year, with 141 kites made during one Kite Night.
Air Fun Kites is a family business that has
changed the lives of a lot of people, Mears
State Park Explorer Guide Clayton Breiler said.
I will forever have the lyrics of Lets Go Fly
a Kite in my head, thanks to Kite Nights.
Jim Gallie, supervisor at Ludington State
Park, agreed the Castors have had a lasting
impact on park visitors.
Ive had the opportunity to see Mike and
Susan in action for the past ten years while
managing at both Mears and Ludington state
parks, Gallie said. They are truly special
people. Theyve shared their love for kites
and the Lake Michigan shoreline breezes
that power them with thousands of kids and
parents. They helped make camping at Mears
and Ludington a special experience for these
families. Were going to miss working with
them, but wish them a happy retirement.

celebrating african culture in the Great Lakes Bay Region
By Chet Allen
During the month of August, Saginaw
celebrates the rich African heritage at Saginaws
African Cultural Festival, held at Morley School
Park, 2601 Lapeer.
In times past, participants have traveled
from around the world to participate, and at
this years 46th year of celebration, the festival
was alive with renewed energy and growth that
included youth and a larger diverse audience in
attendance.
The festivities included the usual storytelling
and historical graphics, and there were many
activities of what some would call old school
fun with games of jacks, double-dutch, four-
square, and unique form of bingo.
The crowd pleasing Ultimate Taste Band
of Muskegon performed Friday and Saturday
evenings along with a jazz combo with bassist
Roland Williams of Midland leading.
There was the timeless art of spoken-word,
mime and modern-dance presentations by groups
and individuals including The Sophisticated
Divas and solo presenter Kamahria Crittle.
Sunday began with praise and worship
service conducted by Elder Kareem J. Bowen,
of the Potters Touch Ministries, in Saginaw, and
later featured the singing voice of the extremely
talented, Gwen Goodman, and her praise team.
I closed the final day of the festival with a
short, smooth jazz set on saxophone.
The planning committee has greater plans
for 2015 and expects the festival to continue to
attract even more participants from the Mid-
Michigan area to walk in the memories of the
culture and to create new ones for the next
generation.

TeaM sBa Financing Roundtable
University Center The Small Business Administration and the
Michigan Small Business Development Center Great Lakes Bay Region
will offer a free TEAM SBA - Financing Roundtable at Delta College,
1961 Delta Road, Rm. H113 in the H Wing, University Center on
Thursday, Sept. 18 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Before you apply for a business loan, we recommend that you first
attend a TEAM SBA Financing Roundtable on small business lending.
The roundtables are a free orientation session conducted by local
lenders, a business consultant from the SBAs network of Michigan
Small Business Development Centers, and an SBA representative.
The roundtable will debunk the myths and demystify the process
of small business financing; explain how the lending process works
and what is expected of you; and explain how the SBA can assist local
lenders with its SBA Guaranteed Loan Program.
This forum is best-suited to those serious about seeking financing
for their business, have good credit, a solid business idea, and some
money to invest in their business. Because the SBA does not provide
loan guarantees to real estate investment firms, including purchasing
and rehabbing houses for sale, this type of financing is not discussed at
the roundtable.
For more information and to register for seminars visit www.
SBDCMichigan.org or call 989. 686-9597. Roundtable sponsors are
Delta College, Small Business Administration, SBA Certified local
lenders and the Michigan Small Business Development Center Great
Lakes Bay. Entrepreneurs and small business owners are encouraged
to access the services of the SBDC Great Lakes Bay Region (serving
Arenac, Bay, Midland, and Saginaw counties).
The Michigan Small Business Development Center provides expert
business assistance to help Michigan businesses raise capital, develop
business plans and export strategies, and commercialize technologies.
The Michigan SBDC State Headquarters is located at Grand
Valley State University, Seidman College of Business in Grand Rapids,
Michigan small business owners may access the Michigan SBDC
services by contacting 616.331.7480 or www.SBDCMichigan.org.

Saginaw - Herbert A. Spence, Jr. is remem-
bered as a man of dedication in the business
world, and for the great humanitarian accom-
plishments he participated in so people in the
communities would have better lives.
Herb Spence, Jr. helped Saginaw Habitat
for Humanity build its first 61 houses as an all-
volunteer organization, said Cameron Brady,
executive director of Saginaw Shiawassee
Habitat for Humanity.
Spence Jr., 84, died Tuesday, July 22, at his
home.
Born April 15, 1930, in Saginaw, he began
his distinguished career with his familys busi-
ness, Spence Brothers as a part-time summer
laborer in Grayling. After his graduation from
University of Michigan in 1953, he returned to
work full time until 1990, serving as company
president for 11 years.
During his 45-year career, Herb was the
senior member of the third generation of the
Spence office and was the estimator and project
manager for hundreds of major projects includ-
ing the $35 million Ann Arbor Wastewater Treat-
ment Plant, the companys largest contract of his
generation.
At the age of 61, he decided to retire from
business to lead and work at Habitat as the vol-
unteer executive director of Habitat for Human-
ity. If he hadnt been here at that time, things
wouldnt be the same as they are today, Brady
said.
Spence Jr. was the recipient of the presti-
gious Spirit of Saginaw award from the Saginaw
County Chamber of Commerce in 1996, and was
inducted into the Michigan Construction Hall of
Fame in 2010.
He was a member of St. Johns Episcopal
Church where he served as Senior Warden, Ves-
try, lay reader and Eucharistic minister. He was
a former member of both the Saginaw Country
Club and the Saginaw Club.
Spence Jr. is survived by his wife, Mary,
four children, eight grandchildren and two great-
grandchildren.

New York The General Motors Foundation
recently donated $25,000 to the National CARES
Mentoring Movement to help fund critical men-
toring programs for black youth in challenging
environments nationwide.
Funds from the GM Foundation will also
help ensure that nearly 60 volunteer-based local
CARES affiliates receive ongoing training to
implement responsive education programs.
CARES mentoring teams include a mix of
professionals literacy tutors, retired teachers,
psychologists, social workers, health experts
along with an intergenerational group of vol-
unteer mentors. Through this diverse network,
students receive tutoring, academic and career
advice, along with strategies for managing chal-
lenges and living healthy, purpose driven lives.
As corporate and community leaders, we
have a responsibility to guide, teach and encour-
age the next generation, said GM Foundation
President Vivian Pickard. We share CARES
passion to provide resources and programs that
aim to strengthen young minds and instill hope
in our nations future leaders.
The National CARES Mentoring Movement
was founded in 2005 by Susan L. Taylor with
the goal of addressing illiteracy among children
in African American communities and providing
solutions to help students reach their fullest po-
tential academically and personally.
It would be impossible to overstate the grat-
itude CARES feels toward the GM Foundation.
The consistent commitment the Foundation has
shown to our precious children not only serves as
a corporate model, but as assurance that the most
vulnerable ones among us will not be left be-
hind, said Susan L. Taylor, CEO of the National
CARES Mentoring Movement and Editor-in-
Chief Emerita of Essence Magazine.
CARES has a robust national reach, which
includes a network of dedicated members who
mentor over 190,000 children annually. In 2013,
86 percent of youth involved with CARES stated
that they felt more engaged in school, and 94
percent indicated that they felt more confident
they will succeed academically.

Football and social security
By Vonda VanTil,
Social Security Public Affairs Specialist
Grand Rapids - Good
coaching and a great play-
book can make all the dif-
ference in the world for
a winning football team.
Fail to create a sound game
plan, and youre likely to
miss opportunities and fall
behind.
The same is true for retirementexcept you
call the plays, including when to retire and how
much to save. If you walk onto the retirement
field without a game plan, you may have to work
longer than you had hoped. You certainly dont
want to find yourself unable to have the comfort-
able retirement you envisioned.
You may have to call your own financial plays,
but Social Security has tools to help you. We can
help you decide what options might be successful
in any situation you may find yourself in.
For example, how much can you expect to
get from Social Security? How much more could
you get if you worked a year longer? Two years?
What about your spouse, if you are married? And
are you saving enough in addition to your ex-
pected Social Security benefits?
By simply visiting www.socialsecurity.gov,
you can get answers to all of these questions.
You will find several financial planning tools,
including our easy-to-use and secure Retirement
Estimator. You can use it to get quick retirement
estimates based upon your own earnings record.
Its like training camp for financial planning.
All you have to do is provide some informa-
tion about yourself to verify who you are for
security purposesyour name, Social Security
number, date and place of birth, your mothers
maiden name, and an estimate of your last years
earnings. The Retirement Estimator will then
create Social Security benefit estimates based on
your entire career earnings record.
The Retirement Estimator shows what you
could receive in Social Security benefits if you
retire at age 62, what you could receive at your
full retirement age, and what you could receive if
you work until age 70.
Interested in other play options, such as what
will happen if you made more money in the fu-
ture? Or if you want to stop work at a different
age than the three we show you? You can try out
alternate game plans using the Retirement Esti-
mator if you change your mind about your initial
retirement plans.
The last thing you want to do is depend on a
Hail Mary pass when it comes to your retire-
ment. With a good game plan, you will score a
retirement touchdown.
Remember what one of footballs most ac-
complished and respected coaches, Vince Lom-
bardi, said: Theres only one way to succeed
in anything, and that is to give it everything.
so give everything you have to developing the
playbook for your retirement. and the best
place to begin your game plan for a successful
retirement is at www.socialsecurity.gov.

the Year award. After taking top honors, the university
entered him into the statewide Midwest Association of
Student Employment Administrators (MASEA) competi-
tion, which he also won.
When I heard I received this award, I was humbled. Ive always had the
mindset of doing my job to the best of my ability and never thought anything
of it, says Iden.
As on-air personality for HOME.fm and production assistant for SAU
Radio, Iden plays an important role at the radio station. He has a two-hour
show every weeknight on HOME.fm. I get to share stories and pass on
important information our listeners may need. I am also the production
assistant and one of a few sports broadcasters at SAU. I am in charge of
broadcasting mens basketball games for SAU Radio. This means I go to the
games and either broadcast the play-by-play or color commentary with one
other coworker, says Iden.
The contest is sponsored by MASEA, a non-profit, professional orga-
nization comprised of administrators and counselors from post-secondary
institutions who are involved in securing employment opportunities for stu-
dents. Idens state recognition marks the first time a Spring Arbor University
student has won since the Student Employee of the Year program began in
1995. Iden competed with 74 student employees from other colleges like
Michigan State University, Grand Rapids Community College and more.
Iden was honored thanks to characteristics he displayed in several cat-
egories including reliability, quality of work, initiative, professionalism and
uniqueness of contribution. Eric stood out because of his charisma and at-
titude. We look for any attributes that stick out. Students who see a bigger
picture and make it easier for others to work, says Deb Scripter, director of
student employment and MASEA member.
According to Hernandez, Iden possesses those characteristics and then
some. Students often show interest in one or two aspects of radio and focus
their energy into that specific area. After his first couple of years working
with us and focusing on his DJ skills, Eric decided he wanted to learn more.
He wanted to know everything about radio. He took it upon himself to im-
prove his sports play-by-play abilities, but also asked for more responsibility
and training other off-air radio duties. He quickly learned several produc-
tion procedures and started gaining more production duties as part of his job
with us, says Hernandez.
Outside of his regular work with us, Eric has taken the initiative to
mentor other students in their roles with us. Oftentimes, students will refer-
ence something they learned because, Eric stopped in the studio the other
night and told me, says Hernandez.
One of my favorite parts about working here is I have been mentored
the whole time by my amazing bosses and really have learned so much from
them, both as professionals in the workforce and through my interactions
outside of work. I also love working with other students and watching them
grow as broadcasters as well, says Iden.
Iden, a youth ministry major who graduated in May, plans to work as the
teaching pastor at the Allen United Methodist Church.

Painting Poem
Diamond
As the brush hits the page,
with vicarious color,
colors of hurt and pride,
of envy and of pain.
The lookers eyes,
see as though rain,
is distorting
the message.
The message,
what is the message?
Perspective
is the looking glass that the
lookers eyes use as a guide,
to find whatever they are seeking
metaphorically speaking.
If you and I filled our hands
with liquid color.
You on the left,
I on the right,
and threw our hands onto the canvas of life
would our paintings reveal the same?
Or is the thought of replication inane?
Though our paintings may be parallel,
our thoughts are perpendicular.
And the madness that tries to kill individuality
insists that our paintings be similar.
That we blend,
till we change,
into the men and women of a mundane world.
But difference is a gift,
a promise,
we should use to lift up one another.
So continue to throw your paint
while I throw mine.
Dare to color outside the lines,
dare to find the find,
that makes
YOURS different than MINE.

Central Michigan College of Medicine Second Class Ready To Go
Mount Pleasant - Noting that caring, char-
acter, curiosity and a sense of community are
qualities that led them to the Central Michigan
University College of Medicine, Interim Dean
Linda Perkowski welcomed 104 incoming medi-
cal students recently at a traditional ceremony
where the future doctors received their white
coats.
You are joining the large community of
CMU and a community of physicians, she said.
We hope you wear these white coats with pride
and honor.
The white-coat ceremony signals the com-
mitment students make on their way to becom-
ing primary-care physicians. At 104 students, the
second class is larger than the inaugural class of
64, and it was selected from more than 3,000 ap-
plicants. Ninety percent of the incoming students
have ties to the state of Michigan.
Dr. Sarah Yonder, the assistant dean of stu-
dent affairs for the College of Medicine and a
physician with CMUs University Health Ser-
vices, gave the keynote address. She encouraged
students to focus on patients, family, friends
and themselves as they move through medical
school.
The connections with your fellow class-
mates are important to nourish, too, she said.
Some of you will form friendships here that
will span your lifetime. Please support each
other and learn from one another.
Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs
Joel Lanphear spoke about what the white coat
symbolizes not only to those who wear it, but to
people they will meet and work with throughout
their lives.
The expectation of leadership will accom-
pany you through-
out your medical
careers, Lanphear
said. Wherever your
medical journey takes
you, patients and fam-
ilies indeed, entire
communities will
look to you not only
for health care answers, but to serve as a strong,
informed voice.
The CMU College of Medicine is the na-
tions 137th medical school, created to address
an anticipated shortage of 4,000 to 6,000 physi-
cians in Michigan by 2020.
Students spend their first two years of study
on CMUs main campus in a state-of-the-art
60,000 square-foot-facility. The third and fourth
years will be spent in clinical training at a num-
ber of medical facilities across central and north-
ern Michigan, including Covenant HealthCare
and St. Marys of Michigan in Saginaw.
A $25 million, 46,000-square-foot College
of Medicine educational facility is under con-
struction on the Covenant HealthCare campus in
Saginaw. Construction will be complete by May
2015, in time for the inaugural students third
year of study.

Across Saginaw County, youth are gearing up to return to
the classroom. What can we do as a community to mentally
prepare them for the upcoming school year and ensure that
they remain resilient, healthy, and ready to learn?
I think that if we support children to participate in school functions and extracurricular activities, help
them create healthy habits and hobbies, and create an understanding of the importance of a good
education, were setting them up for success.
REO, Community Member
As a community, we need to support the efforts and dedication of our educators. We can do this
by becoming involved and staying on top of the educational needs of our children. One way would
be to have a conversation with the folks who represent us on the boards of education to get a better
understanding of what faces us as a community. We can also make sure that the children of our
community are ready to learn. One way is to support efforts that provide good nutrition and access
to healthy foods. We can donate or become champions of school nutrition programs that help all
children, but especially those who come form households where budgets are stretched.
Colleen Sproul, Director of Health Home and Integrated Care,
Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority
The best way to ensure that youth are resilient, healthy and ready to learn is to present new ideas,
dreams and goals to them. We must not limit their dreams and goals within the walls of the classroom or
the lines of our county. By opening minds we will not just open opportunities, we will instill great passion
and drive from within our youth for those ideas, dreams, and goals.
Angelo Vallejo, Wraparound Care Coordinator, Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority
The foundation starts at home. Families need to instill the importance of good education and
encourage their children to stay in school and follow their dreams, whatever they may be.
Lillie Bell, Customer Service Specialist, Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority
We can become actively involved in our childs education to support school preparation and mental
resilience. Parents can have a tremendous impact by simply meeting their childs teachers,
participating in school activities, taking a tour of the school with their child, asking questions about daily
classroom structure and routines. Collaboration between family and school systems is an important part
of the childs success.
Brian Shetler, Infant Mental Health Specialist, Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority
Encourage youth to keep striving for success and working to overcome all obstacles. Let them know
that if they are having a diffcult time, its okay to talk to parents, teachers, role models, or professionals.
Help them create positive goals for life and stay on the path to achieve them. Remind them that their
past is their past, this is a new school year and its a clean slate. Dream big!

The National Head Start Associations Two
Generations Together Initiative will increase
awareness of two-generation adult education
and job training models that are part of the
comprehensive child and family services
delivered by Head Start programs across the
country.
Head Start has a fifty year history of
achieving long-term outcomes for children
both by supporting their health and learning
and by enabling their families to achieve
their own goals for education, employment,
stability, and success.
As we approach our next fifty years, Two
Generations Together will highlight the most
successful two-generation efforts that have
developed in Head Start programs across
the country and disseminate strategies and
resources to help other Head Start and early
learning programs develop or enhance two-
generation work of their own.
This work is made possible by the
generous support of Ascend at the Aspen
Institute.
Many Head Start and Early Head Start
organizations have programs in place to
help parents access ESOL or GED classes,
attain college credits and degrees, participate
in workforce training programs, and earn
certificates or credentials. If your organization
integrates these opportunities for parents with
early learning for their children, youre doing
two-generation work already! We encourage
you to apply!
Six selected programs will be featured in
a nationally-distributed case study report on
Head Start two-generation models, invited
to present at the Two Generations Together
Institute before NHSAs 2015 Winter
Leadership Institute, and have their efforts
shared across NHSA and Ascend at the Aspen
Institutes national networks.
Other programs whose applications
demonstrate a commitment to two-generation
work will be mentioned in our nationally-
distributed case study report and included
on the Ascend website with two-generation
programs across the country. All applicants
will be included in the first phase of a new
NHSA Learning Network on two-generation
efforts.
To apply to be featured as part of the Two
Generations Together Initiative, complete the
application at www.nhsa.org/files. There is no
cost to apply.

FROM P 23, Trauma Training
Services, 411 E. Genesee, Saginaw, Michigan.
The training was conducted by Kelley Blanck,
Technical Assistance Coordinator for Saginaw
Max System of Care and Keva Clark, M.Ed.,
Family Involvement Coordinator for Saginaw
Max System of Care.
Eight modules were covered that opened
the understanding of why children are defiant
towards the people who are trying to care for
them and how we all have a responsibility to
become advocates for our children. Many
children in the foster care system have lived
through traumatic experiences. Understanding
how trauma affects children can help foster
parents, educators, and those working with a
traumatized child to make sense of a childs
behavior, feelings, and attitudes.
Once it is understood why a child behaves
the way he or she does, then we as a community
will be better prepared to help children cope
with the effects of trauma. There is an African
proverb that states, It takes a whole village to
raise a child.
It is important to understand that birth
parents, foster parents, and those involved with
children, who have been victimized, need to
take the time to be educated about the effects of
trauma, and how the quality of life can improve
for the victims and their families.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration, US Department
of Health and Human Services funded the
workshop curriculum. The National Child
Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) that
was established by Congress in 2000 as a
collaboration of academic and community-based
service centers whose mission is to raise the
standard of care and increase access to services
for traumatized children and their families across
the United States supported the training.
Combining knowledge of child development,
expertise in the full range of child traumatic
experiences, and attention to cultural
perspectives, the NCTSN serves as a national
resource for developing and disseminating
evidence-based interventions, trauma-informed
services, and public and professional education.
To educate our community about Trauma
and its effects, the National Sorority of Phi Delta
Kappa, Incorporated, Gamma Kappa Chapter
will be hosting a Trauma Summit entitled
Unmasking the Faces of Trauma: Caring

FUNdraising Good Times
Reader Success!
By Mel B. and Pearl D. Shaw
We eat, drink and sleep fundraising. Its what
we love. We truly enjoy and embrace the people
and organizations we work with. We get excited
when clients take the tools we develop for them
and put them to work. We cherish their successes
and most importantly we celebrate their work.
At the end of the day fundraising is all about
attracting resources for nonprofit organizations
and institutions that make a difference in peo-
ples lives. While not every organization is in a
position to hire fundraising counsel, there are so
many people doing wonderful things who need
just a few suggestions, or some new information
so they can do a better job and raise more money.
These are the people we write FUNdraising
Good Times for.
This column is our way of giving back and
sharing information about fundraising, fund de-
velopment and the important roles of nonprofit
board members, staff and volunteers. It was
almost nine years ago that FUNdraising Good
Times debuted in The Globe Newspaper in Oak-
land, CA. There are now 30 papers and two mag-
azines from around the country that publish this
column. This commitment on the part of publish-
ers and editors demonstrates their commitment to
growing the nonprofit sector and supporting the
people who give their time and energy to serving
others.
We cherish our readers, though most are un-
known to us. As writers
you dont always meet
your audience. But, we
did recently meet a reader
who embraced us sharing
I read your column all
the time. We were con-
ducting a workshop for
the ArtsMemphis commu-
nity engagement fellows
when Judy Davis came
up to us and shared that
she raised $45,000 using suggestions from our
column. That caught our attention and we had to
learn more!
We learned that Davis, the membership out-
reach manager at the Metal Museum in
Memphis, played an important role in The 10th
Anniversary Gates Campaign. The museum was
celebrating the 25th anniversary of the most
beloved part of their permanent collection the
10th Anniversary Gates. These are metal gates
adorned with 331 unique rosettes that were con-
tributed by over 200 metal smiths from around
the world. After 25 years of exposure to the ele-
ments the gates and rosettes desperately needed
restoration. This required removing, repairing
and cleaning each rosette, and then sandblasting
and repainting the gates.
The campaign raised $45,000 by inviting
museum members and visitors to sponsor a
rosette with individual donations ranging from
$100 - $500. Each rosette sponsor received a
credit line in a catalog published to commemo-
rate the rededication of the newly restored gates
on Mothers Day, 2014.
This was Davis first professional fundrais-
ing project and she was armed with inspiration
and information from our columns.
Next week: The details!
Mel and Pearl Shaw position nonprofits, col-
leges and universities for fundraising success.

ISIS a Direct Threat That Could Launch Attack on
US Soil, Warns Sen. Lindsey Graham
By Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post Reporter
The militant Islamic State group could
launch a direct attack on U.S. soil, warned
South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham,
who urged President Barack Obama to do more
to counter the group that has taken large parts
of Iraq and Syria.
Mr. President, be honest with the threat we
face, Graham said in a Fox News interview on
Sunday. They are coming.
The Republican senator, who is also
a member of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, identified the militants as a direct
threat to our homeland.
The U.S. has launched limited airstrikes at
terrorist installations in northern Iraq to defend
American personnel. The militants, formerly
known as ISIS, continue taking cities in Iraq,
threatening the central government and forcing
thousands of Christians to flee their homes.
A senior U.S. official said that the U.S.
is also sending arms to Kurdistan forces in
Iraq who are fighting back against the Sunni
militants. American military has also been
helping facilitate weapons deliveries to the
Kurds, providing logistic assistance and
transportation to the north.
Close to 20,000 minority Yazidis have
been rescued in northern Iraq, though tens
of thousands reportedly remain stranded on
mountains hiding from the Islamic State.
Christians have also been driven out by the
thousands, with Lebanons Maronite Patriarch
Beshara Rai calling on the international
community to intervene and stop the ongoing
persecution.
We renew the patriarchates call to the
Arab League, the United Nations, the Security
Council and the International Criminal Court
to put a stop to ISIS attacks and those of
other fundamentalist organizations against
the Christians of Mosul and the villages of
Ninevah in dear Iraq,
and allow the return
of those Christians
to their homes and
properties with
dignity, securing for
them a decent life in
their home countries
with all the rights
of citizens, AINA
quoted Rai as saying
during Sunday Mass
in Diman, north
Lebanon.
President Obama
confirmed that U.S.
forces have conducted
airstrikes against
terrorist forces
outside the city of
Erbil, and explained that the White House is
pursuing a broader strategy in Iraq.
We will protect our American citizens in
Iraq, whether theyre diplomats, civilians or
military. If these terrorists threaten our facilities
or our personnel, we will take action to protect
our people, Obama said.
More broadly, the United Nations in Iraq
is working urgently to help respond to the needs
of those Iraqis fleeing from areas under threat.
The U.N. Security Council has called on the
international community to do everything it can
to provide food, water and shelter. And in my
calls with allies and partners around the world,
Ill continue to urge them to join us in this
humanitarian effort.
Responses to the presidents strategy have
been mixed. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, has
backed Obama and highlighted the importance
of the humanitarian effort to help the refugees,
and called on Iraq to develop a stronger, more-
inclusive government.
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein of
the Democratic Party, who serves as the
chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, warned that it will take strong
action to defeat the Islamic State, however.
It takes an army to defeat an army, and I
believe that we either confront [Islamic State]
now or we will be forced to deal with an even
stronger enemy in the future, Feinstein said
on Friday after the airstrikes were announced.
Inaction is no longer an option.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, has also
warned that the militants are getting stronger
all the time and growing in numbers.
They have attracted 1,000 young men
from around the world who are now fighting
on their side, McCain explained. This ISIS
is metastasizing throughout region. And their
goal, as theyve stated openly time after time, is
the destruction of United States of America.

Ebola Virus Death Toll in West Africa Passes 1,000
THE World Health Organization says the
death toll in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa
has passed 1,000. The UN health agency said in
a news release on August 11, that 1,013 people
have died in the outbreak, which has hit Guinea,
Liberia, Sierra Leone and possibly Nigeria.
Authorities have recorded 1,848 suspected,
probable or confirmed cases of the disease,
which causes a high fever, vomiting and
bleeding. The outbreak was first identified in
March in Guinea, but it likely started months
earlier. The updated WHO tally includes figures
from August 7 to August 9, during which 52
people died and 69 more were infected.
Ebola is highly lethal and there is no
licensed vaccine or treatment for the disease,
but so far three infected people have received an
experimental drug.
The news comes as a US company which
makes an experimental drug for treating the
virus sends all its available supplies to West
Africa.
In responding to the request received
this weekend from a West African nation, the
available supply of ZMapp is exhausted, said a
statement on the Mapp Bio website on Monday.
Any decision to use ZMapp must be made
by the patients medical team, it said, adding
that the drug was provided at no cost in all
cases. The biomedical collaboration between
US and Canadian researchers involves a drug
that is manufactured in tobacco leaves and is
hard to produce on a large scale.
The company did not reveal which nation
received the doses, or how many were sent,
though CNN reported that Liberia was to receive
the sample doses.
The two American missionary workers who
fell ill with Ebola while working in Monrovia
last month were given doses of the drug. Both
have been transported to an isolation unit at
Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia,
where they are receiving continuous care.
A Spanish priest who was infected with
Ebola and given a dose has died.
The ethics of distributing experimental
medications to some people but not others was
the focus of a special meeting of the World
Health Organization on Monday.
The US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention have repeatedly stressed that the
drugs effects are unknown, since it has not been
through a process of rigorous clinical trials.

Saginaw - Draymond Green was a standout
as an athlete at Saginaw High, Michigan State,
and is now continuing to be the outstanding
athlete as he continues in his third year in the
NBA as a Golden State Warrior.
However, those that know Green, remember
him also as a Saginawian that cared about his
community, and the youth who are living here
with their dreams and aspirations of one day
reaching their goals.
So, on August 9, he returned to Saginaw
to fulfill one of his dreams to host a basketball
camp in his hometown, and to be an
inspiration to other youth as others were once to
him.
The basketball camp welcomed 150 youth
and taught them various skills while providing
an atmosphere of success from a positive role
model.
It means a lot, Green said. Not too
long ago, I was that same kid from Saginaw,
Michigan wondering how do I live my dream?
... I remember growing up going to the Darvin
Ham camp and the Jason Richardson camp. To
be able to come back and put one of these on
myself is a dream come true.

Tackling life is a matter of problem solving thats
Terrance Moores way of thinking. And what better way
to improve the world than to help others as they leap lifes
hurdles? The junior criminal justice major likes to be there
when someone can use a helping hand: Terrance serves
as a resident assistant, helping his students overcome the
roadblocks of college life, and as vice president of the
Cardinal Military Association, supporting veterans through
any diffculties they might face.
A frm believer in support systems, Terrence is also a
member of the National Leadership and Success Society,
an organization that unites students who want to set and
achieve goals. And as part of the Greek fraternity Tau Kappa
Epsilon, the Criminal Justice Society, and the co-ed service
fraternity Alpha Sigma Pi, hes learned that the best way to
lead is by example. If I dont help, he said, who will?
