Calling All FathersWe are living in a time where it is increasingly more difficult to find a good role model of a father. Hollywood creates both good and bad depictions of fatherhood. Some are negative figments of the imagination of some scriptwriter who was dogged and dissed by his dad. Others are the hopes and dreams of a producer who is willing to paint a positive picture of fatherhood. I grew up in a home where it was difficult to find a positive example of a father, let alone an example one that honored Jesus Christ. But I write to tell you that my Heavenly Father was there for me. Psalm 10 says, “But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.” Our view of our Heavenly Father is drastically affected by our experiences with our earthly fathers. If our early father was unreasonable and over demanding, we assume our Heavenly Father is difficult to deal with. If our earthly father was distant, we have a view of God who is unconcerned, unattached and far-removed from our lives. And if you had a father that told you or made you feel you were no good, you will assume that God will never be pleased with you. I need to let you know that if you had a father who wasn’t “fatherly”, God has not left you without an example of fatherhood; for He Himself is our example. He is the prototype. He is the archetype, the epitome, the embodiment, and the quintessence of fatherhood. He is the perfect example of what a father should be. Psalm

103 describes the fatherhood of God. If you want to learn to become a better father, study this psalm. David writes, “Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.” One thing we learn about God from this psalm is that He forgives our sins. David goes on to say that God heals all our diseases—these are not necessary our physical infirmities but the afflictions of our spirit and soul. We then learn that God redeems us from destruction—the enemy comes but to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus comes to give us life and that more abundantly (John 10:10) David also says that God is worthy of praise because He satisfies our desires with good things. Psalm 103 begins triumphantly declaring that God is a Father who is totally involved in the lives of His children. Many fathers mistakenly think that if they provide a roof over the head of their children and food on the table, they have done their job. A person is more than the body he or she lives in. Your child is made up of spirit, soul and body. It is not enough to provide for your child’s physical needs and neglect the needs of their soul (mind, will and emotions). It is equally neglectful to provide for the emotional needs of your children while ignoring their spiritual needs. We have some fathers who

are “on fire” when it comes to their child’s physical needs. They register their children for little league football and basketball and while their child excels physically, they are emotionally challenged. Other men make it their life goal to get their children educated and while they enroll them in the finest schools, their children are ignorant when it comes to the wisdom of God found in His Word. God as Heavenly Father meets all of His children’s needs. God wants to make His ways known to the children of our day and He is looking for men who would dare to be godly fathers and do God’s business.

Rachel Lanette Brown graduated from George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology on May 27, 2014. Rachel will be attending Towson State University in the fall. Rachel was featured in the Baltimore County Public School Showcase and her teacher had this to say about Rachel, "Rachel Brown is exceptional. She is a fantastic student-- intellectually curious, compassionate, and motivated. She readily takes on extra challenges, and yet understands her

limitations. She is mature beyond her years, and her presence will be missed in the Design & Production prime at Carver Center next year. This is my first year at Carver, and she has been a constant positive both in class and on each of the three major productions our students produced this year at school. As a designer, her work is both bold and nuanced. She comes to the table with lots of ideas and is able to gracefully accept when a good idea is not the right fit for a given situation. She has the respect of all her peers, provides a good dose of wit in needed moments, and is reliable to a fault. If there is anything that gives me pause about her, it is that Rachel demands too much of herself. And yet, I know the world will be better off because Rachel is willing to take on more than her fair share. She has my gratitude and admiration."Buck Jabaily, Design & Production TeacherKari and Lamont Brown are the proud parents.

Congratulations to: Akira Imani Harris- graduated from Freetown Elementary School.

Jordyn Robinson, daughter of Jodi Douglass & Walter Robinson Jr., from the Milford Mill community has graduated from the 8th grade at Windsor Mill Middle School. She will be entering Seton Keough High School in the fall.

Hello Family,

I hope everyone is enjoying summer. As I listened to a sermon Sunday at Morning Star Baptist, our Bishop Debnam hit another home run by discussing the stronghold of doubt. If we allow ourselves to experience doubt and fear, we can miss the opportunity to find our Purpose. If you know me then you know Purpose is at the center of my spirit, training and counseling. We are all human. So, from time to time, we have let the spirit of doubt creep in unannounced, unaware and unwelcomed. It can unnerve the most confident person at any given time. If left inside us for too long, we soon become robbed of our success, peace or love. Even in our career journey, we cannot afford to have second guessing strip us of our dreams. I always say if no one sees your vision, go find someone who will. If no one is lifting you up find another prayer circle. If you are always broke and complaining about finances, change your social circle. Reach out to others or organizations who can give you advice. Do something to move YOU to a better place in your life. I just love self-talk, and don’t believe you are crazy if you answer your own questions- lol. I feel it’s really Divine Intervention giving you

your resolutions. Ask yourself if it is your circumstances that are keeping you from growing or is it just you being lazy, afraid to jump out of your comfort zone or doubt about the gifts you have been given since birth. My parents used to always say go with your first instinct. If I felt I could do something, then they encouraged me to go for it with all that I had. The so called “bumps in the road” might have been a temporary setback. Doubt crept in, depression tried to take over. But I had to remember I could do all things because I was blessed by God. Pray yourself back on track and throw that doubt away. I am asking you all, write down your doubts, and face them visually. Now, start listing how you can overcome them. I mean really think, research and ask others. I am positive that when you do this, your doubts will fall away to productivity and PURPOSE will appear. New doubts might arise, but just keep working on replacing them with positives. You can do this family. I have faith in you. Make sure your children learn these techniques as well. Doubt knows no age limit. Until next time family, pray, prosper and help someone find their PURPOSE.

In the Kitchen with Sue

Freshly Minted Interestingly, peppermint is not a naturally growing variety, but a hybrid. First mentioned in a 17th centu-ry herbal, it along with cat-mint were popular remedies for indigestion and colic. Now, peppermint has been further “tweeked” into the popular flavored mints like chocolate, pineapple, etc. Non-European cultures have their own popular varieties. Thai basil with its anise notes comes to mind. Arab cultures enjoy sweet mints in cooking and drinks. Most mints are easily grown. Basil, marjoram, and rosemary are not usu-ally hardy in our climate. Watch out when growing mints, unless contained, they may take over your garden. When cooking with any variety of mint, it is best to add them towards the end of the process as some can become bitter with a long exposure to heat. Remember last December when we swore we’d never complain about the heat

again? Well, I guess some promises are made to be broken. Time to think “cool” and mint is surely that. So let’s raise our cold mint juleps, Mojitos, and apple juice mint teas to this won-derful gift.

Apple Juice Mint Tea(Makes about 4 servings. Use warm or cold.)1 ½ cups water1 ½ cups apple juice5 regular tea bags3 or 4 sprigs washed fresh Peppermint sprigsHoney, to tasteLemon slices and mint to garnish

Bring the apple juice and water to a rapid boil in a nonreactive pan. Crush the first sprigs of mint and add them and tea bags to the pot. Cover and turn off heat. Al-low it to steep (brew) for 5 minutes. Strain and put in a pitcher. Add about 3 Table-spoons or more clover honey to the mix. Stir well. Pour over ice in tall glasses and garnish with more mint and lemon.

The idea for this column started when I went to the nursery to buy herbs for the garden. I was faced with an astonishing number of “mints” from the common peppermint to exotic vari-eties. At home I consulted several herbals and found that Lamiaceae, the mint family contains an amazing 700 varieties. Historically, human use was magical and religious. Then, vari-ous mints were found to have medicinal and food preservative uses. Think about the stag-gering number: sweet marjoram, common basil, oregano (not popular in the US until after WWII), European spearmint, catmint, lemon balm were used a tisanes, infusions in water to make medici-nal and refreshing drinks. Native American and the rebel colonists used bee balm (Oswego tea) in large quantities.

Conversations with Life Coach

Reading is Fundamental! Hello readers. Bear with me as I detour and share a personal message. Do you remember this ad campaign from the early 80s? Before Oprah and her book club, there was a national campaign targeted at school-aged children emphasizing the importance of reading and highlighting all that could be shared in a book. Well, I am no longer a kid but I still applaud the importance of reading. By the way, when was the last time you read a book? If it takes you more than 15 seconds to remember, you should be ashamed! And, if you are regularly in the company of young people between the ages of 4 and 16 and it still takes you more than 15 seconds to answer that question, you should be downright embarrassed! No excuses! With the volume of physical books, Kindle books, e-books, and/or audio books, you have almost no excuse. You can read the words the old fashioned way with hardcopy book in hand. Or, with the advent of audio books, and now Amazon’s “Text to speech” feature, books can be read to you. So, you can read at your desk, in your

favorite chair, doing time on the treadmill or driving in your car. I know you’re busy, but set aside a mere 30 minutes a day. Plug in your headphones as you drift off to sleep. Or, lock yourself in the bathroom if you have to! You owe it to yourself. Visit a bookstore or explore what’s available on the Internet… Take a “right” at YouTube…They’ve got books in audio format. Or a “U-turn” at Amazon.com or BM.com (Barnes and Noble) Internet sites. And a lot of them are FREE! Want some new ideas on where to travel for your next vacation? Read a book. Hoping to find a new finance shortcut or a different perspective that explains how to save money for “that” vacation? Or, maybe, as an entrepreneur, you are looking for a way to market products to a new customer base. It’s probably available in a book. Or, maybe you simply need a few minutes to escape to your own “happy place”? For all of the above, the answers can be found in a book. (Don’t believe me? Send me an email, I will send you book titles.)

Kamenetz Recognizes Adrienne Jones' Four Decades of Public Service Towson, Maryland (June 19, 2014) – Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz today expressed his thanks and admiration for Adrienne Jones' 37 years of dedicated service to the citizens of Baltimore County. "When you look at the contributions that Adrienne has made over the past four decades, she is truly an inspiration for what one person can accomplish when they dedicate themselves to public service," Kamenetz said. "She has been a tireless advocate for equity and she has played a key role in Baltimore County's efforts to diversify our workforce. She has helped an untold number of people from all around the County over her 37-year career and her efforts will have a positive impact for those who follow her in County Government." Jones is retiring from her post as the County's Deputy Director of Human Resources at the end of June. She began her Baltimore County career in 1976 as an aide to the Assistant Director in the former Office of Central Services and most recently prior to her current position, served as the Executive Director of the Office of Fair Practices and Community Affairs. Jones has worked during the terms of seven County Executives, reporting directly to five (Donald Hutchinson, Dennis Rasmussen, Roger Hayden, C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger and Jim Smith). She is the founder of the Annual Baltimore County African American Cultural Festival, now in its 18th year. She also established the

County's Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Content of Character Awards Program. She has coordinated countless free workshops, summits and forums for the community during her tenure with the County. She was a former columnist for The Baltimore Times Newspaper writing a column entitled "A County Perspective" that covered issues of relevance to the community, religious institutions, schools and businesses in Baltimore County.Plans After Retirement Jones volunteers her time with a multitude of community organizations and is an active member of Union Bethel A.M.E. Church in Randallstown. When asked what will she be doing after she retires from Baltimore County, Jones stated, "I plan to take the summer off to take time to plan the next chapter in my life, but rest assure it will contain some sort of public service."

Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz thanks Adrienne for 37 years of service.

BCPS, BCPL To Join Forces For Summer Food Service ProgramChildren invited to have free lunches at library branches TOWSON, MD. – What best complements a good meal? A good read, of course! Longtime partners Baltimore County Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Library are joining forces for the school system’s Summer Food Service Program. From Monday, June 23 to Tuesday, August 8, BCPS will provide nutritious meals to children ages 18 and under at four BCPL branches. The four participating library branches and their meal service times are: · Arbutus, 855 Sulphur Spring Road, Arbutus, MD 21227, 12 to 1 p.m.

· Lansdowne, 500 Third Avenue, Lansdowne, MD 21227, 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.·Randallstown, 8604 Liberty Road, Randallstown, MD 21133, 12 to 12:30 p.m.·White Marsh, 8133 Sandpiper Circle, Nottingham, MD 21236, 1 to 1:30 p.m. “We are thrilled to be working with Baltimore County Public Library,” said Karen Levenstein, director of the BCPS Office of Food and Nutrition. “The benefit is twofold – not only do students enjoy nutritious meals; they also enjoy an opportunity to continue reading over the summer.” Children do not need to register to participate in this free lunch program. While BCPS and BCPL have collaborated in the past for summer reading programs and the “Students Achieve In Libraries” (SAIL) initiative, this year is the first time that the library system will participate in the BCPS

Summer Food Service Program. The BCPS Summer Food Service Program is part of a national effort to maintain high levels of health and wellness among students from low-income families between successive school years. Last summer, the BCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services served cold breakfasts and lunches to approximately 4,400 children daily. The United States Department of Agriculture funded and delivered the meals to the approved Baltimore County sites free of charge. Sites interested in applying for participation in the program, are asked to call Terri Hull, field representative, at 410-887-7855 during weekday business hours.

Saving Our History in Baltimore CountyBy Louis S. Diggs

On Offutt Road in Granite just before it intersects with Granite Road sits a small African American Church that has been in existence since the 1860s, most likely during the slavery era. The little church has struggled through all types of weather, sitting vacant since the 1970s, but thanks to the many kind neighbors in the area, they have kept the building standing. In 2001 while Louis Diggs was researching and documenting much of the history of the forty historic African American communities in Baltimore County, and working on his fifth book, “Surviving in America,” he re-discovered this abandoned church named “Cherry Hill AUMP Church” (African Union Methodist Protestant). The late Ms. Helen Johnson from the Catonsville area, the only surviving Trustee of the church wanted to save the little church and asked if Lenwood Johnson and I would take the church and cemetery and try to revive it, and that we are doing. We formed a 501©(3) non-profit organization named “The Friends of Historical Cherry Hill, Inc.,” in 2007, with Ms. Ruth Ross as the first President. Thanks to the extreme interest Adrienne Jones, Speaker Pro-Tem of the Maryland State Legislature, has always shown in preserving our African American history in Baltimore County, secured a $300K grant to restore this little church into a mini-museum, where our organization will not only share information collected on the history of African American life in Baltimore County with the wider

community, but will be able to reach out to our students, seniors, and other to learn about our history, and be able to view the more than 8,000 images collected by Mr. Diggs in his many years of documenting our history, and other historic artifacts collected by both Mr. Diggs and Mr. Johnson. On Monday, June 23, 2014, Adrienne Jones, Louis Diggs, Roger Katzenberg, of Windsor Associates, LLC, our architect, and Brian Bystry, President of the Progressive Contracting Company, Inc., met at the church as Louis Diggs, President of The Friends of Historical Cherry Hill AUMP Inc., signed the contact with the Progressive Contracting Company, Inc., for the renovation to begin. We are hoping that the

church will be fully restored and converted to a mini-museum by the fall of 2014. At that time, we hope to have a significant grand opening. In the meantime, our organization is in great need of volunteers to work with us as we begin the long journey of continued collection of our history in the county, and to share programs, forums, and other activities with our students, seniors and others. We are also in need of financial support to keep the mini-museum operational. Should you be interested in either volunteering or financially supporting us, please contact Ms. Betty Stewart, our Board Secretary, at [email protected] for a membership application.

Entertainment Review

Belle Lord Mansfield and his wife. Belle's background gets her some stature in life but limits her in others.Her cousin Elizabeth played by Sarah Gadon, meanwhile, mingles with suitors. A young vicar will help change Belle's life in 18th century England as the country starts to veer

Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle played by stunning newcomer Gugu Mbatha-RawShe is the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Sir John Lindsay who is ultimately raised by her great uncle the aristocratic

away from slavery. Belle is a must see for many reasons. Firstly, Mubatha-Raw is excellent. But the other cast members read like a mini who's who of great actors. Tom Wilkin-son plays Lord Mansfield and is as always a very welcome presence. Then

there's Emily Watson and Miranda Richardson also along with a great supporting cast. Sam Reid is the vicar who plays the prime love in-terest for Belle. He will also play a key role as an adversary to Wilkin-son's character over the slavery issue.

The writing is outstand-ing. It is so articulate and such a joy to listen to that it becomes pleasant just to hear the script. Add char-acters to root for and you have the formula for suc-cess. Look for awards for this film.

Summer largely means movies with plenty of action, guns, fighting and assorted super heroes.If you're looking for a breath of fresh summer air, go no further than a gem called Belle.

War Readyby Denzel MasseyStudent, New Town High School

New Town’s Varsity football team is war ready! “Our goals are simple: maintain a 3.0 and win a state championship,” said Coach Smith, varsity football coach. With a new coach at the helm, the varsity football team is striving to have a better season than last year after finishing the season with a 5-5 record. The team did not even make it to the first round of the playoffs. The team is ready to rebound.“The team will develop a sense of pride through hard work and sacrifice for one another,” said Coach Smith.

Gary Smith is the new head coach of the varsity football team. He worked as an assistant coach for New Town during the 2013-2014 season under the leadership of Head Coach Base Johnson. Johnson is now working in the athletic department at Morgan State University. Coach Smith attended the University of Temple and played cornerback there; he also played high school football for Dunbar High School, and he later coached at Dunbar. “I attended high school at Dunbar where we won the first ever State Championship by a Baltimore City school in 1994.” Coach Smith learned the game from his dad. “He trained me at an early age, and I developed during my high school days under coach Stan Mitchell and Ben Eaton.”

Coach Smith believes that concentrating on meeting small goals will result in the team’s success. “We will understand that small goals are the way we accomplish our ultimate goals,” said Coach Smith. “We had a great group of guys last year, and I just want to improve on that by implementing strong discipline and structure.”

“Do the little things like come to school on time and [be] ready to learn; be respectful to peers, faculty, and staff. Make sure we are responsible at all times and maintain a positive attitude about our situation as a whole,” said Coach Smith. Coach Smith is also focused on preparing

players to be college ready. “I plan to send all seniors on this team to a higher institution of learning where they can continue to compete in football on the next level,” said Coach Smith. “I decided to raise the bar for our academic achievement to increase the level of attention on academics and to get more student athletes qualified for NCAA Eligibility Center.” ‘With Coach Gary Smith as our new head coach, I feel as though we’re going to have a good season; we are going far this year, and yeah let's get this money,” said Sharriff Graham-Bey, senior. “... High expectation[s] … can be reached if everyone just focuses for this quarter and starts off first quarter ... strong [with a] 3.0."

Seven Honored by Womens Commission of Maryland

Baltimore MD.June 10, 2014: The Maryland Commission on Women honored seven exceptionally talented young women with the “Women of Tomorrow” award during a ceremony at the Sheraton Hotel, Annapolis MD, on June 26. The keynote speaker ws Laura Gamble, PNC Bank Regional President in Greater Maryland. The award, established in 1997, identifies young women in middle school and high school who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their community and to achieving academic excellence. “Although these young women come from different backgrounds and different parts of the state, they each share a commitment to enhancing their community through their volunteer activities and academic achievement,” said Ted Dallas, secretary of the Maryland Department of Human Resources. “They are part of Maryland's proud tradition of strong women who have helped shape our state's history and we are all better off for their efforts." In 2009, the Maryland public schools system was ranked #1 in the nation in three separate, independent studies. The Education Week study has ranked Maryland number one in the nation for the past five years. “PNC is proud to support an event that recognizes and elevates the accomplishments of young women in Maryland,”

said Laura Gamble. “The seven honorees have traveled different paths to achieve this recognition, but they all share a commitment to academic excellence, strong leadership skills and the determination to make meaningful contributions to their local communities and the world.” PNC bank is a major sponsor of this event and contributing sponsors are Giant Food and AARP. The Women of Tomorrow honorees were selected through a process that begins with an annual statewide call for nominations. An independent, all-volunteer selection committee reviews the applications and selects young women, two per grade grouping from sixth through twelfth grades. This year’s honorees are:Grades 7-8 Honorees First PlaceEden Williams, Milton Somers Middle School, Charles County Honorable MentionSadia Nourin, Argyle Magnet Middle School, Montgomery County Grades 9-10 Honorees First PlaceClaire Hudson, Perryville High School, Cecil County Honorable MentionAchol Odolla, Digital Harbor High School #416, Baltimore City

Ladder Of SuccessAs we march into pre - fall sports, there are a few things I would like to mention to our parents and grand parents. The first thing is to understand your responsibilities as a parent of the athlete. The main priority of your child is their school work and their conduct. Parents need to stay on top of this so when they run into a problem, use the coach as a resource. Make sure your child wants to play the sport and they are not do-ing it to please you because you played back in the day.Some sports are very labor intensive and it takes a lot of effort by both the parent and the athlete for them to have a positive experi-ence. Teach your child and yourself the basic rules and terminology of the game. Some sports are hard to follow so the more you and your child understand go-ing in the further ahead the both of you will be. Don't look for your child to be a star from the beginning. The pros all started some where and this is your some where. The biggest thing I would like to share with you is the " Matson Ladder Of Success " which con-sist of four basic life facts

OLLIE MATSON’STAKE ON

AREA SPORTS

1. Discipline 2.Respect 3.Cooperation 4.Self - Confidence. These four life principles should be prac-ticed on a daily bases. The first is Discipline which is the most important one because a person has to be willing to do the same things over and over until they get it. The second one is Respect which applies to yourself and the people that are around you. Sports is not easy so understand, you may not be a instant success. The third is Coop-eration which is necessary any time you work with other parents and partici-pants. As a parent under-stand that the other parents and kids share the same challenges that you will. I would suggest that talk with each other and try to be positive because it is a long season full of ups and downs. The fourth is Self - Confidence which comes down to the simple ability to believe that you will be successful no matter what. Having supreme faith in yourself and the process will make you a winner. I want to leave you with a famous sports quote " Suc-cess Only Comes Before Work In The Dictionary". Until next month stay up Raven Nation.
