" — the major bar- rier to black progress to- day is not racial discrimi- nation. The challenge for blacks is to better position themselves to take advan- tage of existing opportuni- ties, and that involves ad- dressing the anti-social, self-defeating behaviors and habits and attitudes endemic to the black un- derclass.

The Vatican issued a state- ment asserting that the pope had been in private conversation with Scalfari, and was not a formal inter- view, and thus not speak- ing for the church. The Vatican added: "The textual words pronounced by the pope are not quoted. No quotation of the afore- mentioned article must therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Fa- ther." Buchanan rejects the spin and wrote, "Sorry, but this will not do. This does not answer the ques- tions the pope raised in his chat. Does hell exist? Are souls that die in mortal sin damned to hell for all eter- nity? Does the pope accept this belief? Is this still the infallible teaching of the Roman Catholic Church? " Though Pope Francis is not recognized by other Christian denominations as speaking for the church as a whole, his remarks do carry weight among the faithful. By asserting that there is no hell causes all to pause and consider what this statement means to the whole of Christianity. Buchanan asked the one important question that arises from the Pope's re- marks; "If there is no hell…, What did Christ die on the cross to save us from? " Question and point well taken. Christianity has taught since the time of the apostles of Jesus, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" [He- brews 9:27]. The Apostle Paul preached to the Greeks in Athens about a coming judgment of souls in Acts 17; "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to re- pent: Because he has ap- pointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man [Jesus] whom He hath or- dained; whereof He has given assurance to all men, in that He has raised Him from the dead." The Pew Research Cen- ter offers a snapshot in- to the American reli- gious psyche. They report "Roughly 72 percent say they believe in heaven — defined as a place "where people who have led good lives are eternally reward- ed; While at the same time, 58 percent believe in hell — a place "where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished." At the end of the discus- sion, you and I must decide if the message of the Gos- pel is true and faithful or is just another superstition of mankind. Eternity awaits your de- cision Think about it! Continued from page 8 POPE Continued from page 8 POWER Continued from page 8 CENSUS cluded, and left behind." Ironically, though, it's the policies of the left, not the right, which are doing that. Liberals are the ones who encourage the identi- ty politics that divide our nation so needlessly. As Justice Clarence Thomas said in the 1994 Supreme Court case Holder v. Hall: "We have involved the federal courts, and indeed the nation, in the enter- prise of systematically di- viding the country into electoral districts along ra- cial lines — an enterprise of segregating the races in- to political homelands that amounts, in truth, to noth- ing short of a system of 'po- litical apartheid.' Blacks are drawn into 'black dis- tricts' and given 'black representatives'; Hispan- ics are drawn into Hispan- ic districts and given 'His- panic representatives'; and so on." And isn't it interest- ing that the same critics who bang the drums dai- ly about "foreign inter- ference" in our elections should suddenly show ab- solutely no concern about discovering the extent of illegal immigration in our country? As J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foun- dation and a former Justice Department lawyer, said in a public statement: "It's critical that the next redistricting cycle account for the citizen residents of districts so urban centers do not unfairly profit from the political subsidy that higher non-citizen popula- tions provide. This carries the nation one step closer to preventing against actu- al foreign influences in our elections." If we want to diminish those influences, and get a better handle on the size of our alien population, asking the immigration question on the Census is a good place to start.

The chefs and their sup- port crew operate like an efficient well oiled machin- ery because they were un- der constant pressure to prepare meals on time and maintain quality and safe- ty of the food. I noticed different crews had different color coded neckerchiefs indicating their level of expertise and responsibilities. I did not know that until the doc- umentary moderator point- ed that out. I also learned that the head of the supply rooms always made sure there was always a min- imum of three days sup- ply in excess for the antic- ipated voyage just in case there was a need to stay out longer away from port- for reasons like weather or mechanical trouble in the ship. So, for those of you who love to join cruises, I hope you have a better appreci- ation of how 6,000 people are fed for five to seven days. Bon appetit! • • • I heard this story from a pastor. This story is about two young men who were walking in a big city, they were headed to a party to celebrate an event. Along the way, they encountered a homeless person who ap- proached them and asked for some money for food. One of the men said to his friend to ignore the homeless person and not to give any money. He stated, "He is just going to spend that money for booze I am pretty sure." But the other guy pulled a couple of dol- lars from his pocket and gave the homeless person what he was asking for. So the guy who was wanting to ignore the homeless person asked his friend, "Why did you give him money? You know what's going to happen." The other guy however said, " Let's not worry too much about a couple of dol- lars. That is a small portion of what we budgeted to buy items for our party." So this story illustrates a number of perspectives to our spirit of generosity and kindness. We always hope we are able to extend help in the right spirit to those who are truly in need and that the recipient will do the right thing for whatev- er help they receive. Have a blessed week! I've spent over 30 years of my life growing up and currently living in Winslow. I've spent the last 21 years working on Homeland Security issues, first as an FBI field agent and currently as a Homeland Security Specialist assisting counties across the nation with emergency response to active shooter incidents and acts of terrorism, as well as natural disasters. If elected Sheriff, I'll lead Sheriff 's Office personnel in working closely with others in the community as a team to focus on the following Homeland Security efforts: Protecting our way of life by having plans to provide essential services during and aer a catastrophic event • Initiate, update and test plans so that the Sheriff 's Office and other critical entities within the county can continue to function during and aer a catastrophic event, such as a fire, tornado, earthquake, pandemic influenza or economic crisis • If a fire or tornado destroys the Sheriff 's Office, county courthouse or other critical facilities then plans must be in place and tested to be able to relocate or restore operations, retrieve and manage vital records, and communicate with other departments/offices and the public • If an earthquake causes extended power outages then Sheriff 's Office personnel and other county employees must have access to backup power, communications, running water and fuel for vehicles for work related activities and have appropriate plans in place for taking care of their families • Essential services that the county must provide during and aer a catastrophic event include: - Maintaining law and order - Maintaining fire-rescue and emergency medical services - Water treatment and distribution - Waste water management - Providing emergency medications such as antiviral drugs for pandemic influenza - Issuing paychecks to county personnel - Collection of revenue to pay for county services - Recording of court records and real estate transactions - Payment for goods and services to outside vendors - Maintaining roads and bridges • Since each of these services is directly or indirectly connected to or has impact on the Sheriff 's Office, planning efforts with other county offices and departments must be coordinated to ensure that essential services are maintained Homeland Security = Protecting Lives and Our Way of Life PAID FOR BY BELLAMY FOR SHERIFF COMMITTEE SHERIFF JOHN JOHN Democrat Ballot Casting YOUR VOTE MATTERS
