(AP) — The U.S. OlympicTeam made itself right athome in Rio.

The British, they had aGames to savor as well.

The host Brazilians gotsoccer gold that theycraved, the Russians strug‐gled on the heels of theexposure of a state‐spon‐sored doping program, andthe Chinese finished wellbelow expectations.

So went the medal race atthe Rio de Janeiro Olympics,where the Americans ‐ withwomen leading the way ‐dominated both the goldand overall totals. The U.S.finished with 46 goldmedals and 121 medalsoverall, its 51‐total‐medalmargin over second‐placeChina the largest in a non‐boycotted Olympics in near‐ly a century. "This experi‐ence has been the dream ofa lifetime for me," said U.S.gymnast and closing cere‐mony flagbearer SimoneBiles, who won five medals,four of them gold, in herfirst Olympics.

For the fourth consecu‐tive games, U.S. swimmerMichael Phelps left withmore medals than anyoneelse. He won six in Rio,while Biles and U.S. swim‐mer Katie Ledecky each wonfive to lead to lead a bighaul from Americanwomen.

U.S. women left Rio with27 golds ‐ by far the mostamong any team of femaleOlympians at these games ‐and 61 medals total. U.S.track star Allyson Felix, nowa six‐time gold medalist anda winner of nine medals inall, was particularly delight‐ed to learn that women arebringing more medals hometo American than the men.

"Got 'em," Felix said, smil‐ing.

By now, the Americanswinning the medal race isalmost commonplace. Butthe significance in Rio werethe sheer amounts of hard‐ware.

The previous record forU.S. medals at a fullyattended Olympics was 110,set at Beijing eight yearsago. And the marginbetween first and second inthe overall medals race thisyear tops all others (theboycotted games of 1980and 1984 excluded) sincethe Americans won 67 moremedals than Italy did at the1932 Los Angeles Games.

"We weren't sure wewere going to have thatkind of success coming in,"said USOC CEO ScottBlackmun, noting the trackand swimming teams hadplenty of first‐timeOlympians.

But Blackmun was thrilledby the results, and he was‐n't the only one leaving Riohappy.

Even with far fewer ath‐letes competing in Rio thanit had in London four yearsago ‐ and no home‐fieldadvantage this time, either ‐Britain got more medalsthan ever in the moderngames. The British won 67medals in Rio, 27 of themgold.

"The atmosphere at theGB house has been amazingin the village," said MoFarah, who won gold forBritain in the 5,000‐ and10,000‐meter races tomatch the feat he pulled offat London in 2012."Winning medals and justone after the other. Gold,silver, bronze. The atmos‐phere has been brilliant. Tobe able to go even furtherthan London, I think as anation we should beproud."

The Russians and theChinese probably didn't feelthe same.

China won 26 golds, justover half as many as it wonin Beijing in 2008. Russia ‐with its track team told tostay home because of thedoping probe and a cloudhovering over its athleteswho were in Rio, some ofwhom got publicly calledout by competitors ‐ fin‐ished with 19 golds and 56medals overall, both wellbelow its normal showings.

U.S. swimmer Lilly Kingbeat Russia's Yulia Efimovafor the 100‐meter breast‐stroke gold, doing so aftersaying the games shouldhave no room for dopers.Efimova has twice beenbanned.

"I stand by what I said,"King said.

"It was not positive,"Efimova told the BBC. "Itwas like war."

There were plenty of pos‐itives for others, however.

Usain Bolt finished off histriple‐triple ‐ threeOlympics, three sprint goldsin each ‐ for Jamaica, inwhat he said was his lastgames. Neymar's game‐winning penalty kick decid‐ed a shootout and clinchedthe men's soccer goldmedal for Brazil, a host thatwasn't a factor in the medalstandings but got the goldthat it probably wantedmost.

And 10 teams ‐ includingthe independent team ‐won their first golds, includ‐ing Monica Puig in women'stennis for Puerto Rico.

"That island has given meso much," Puig said. "Somuch love and supportthroughout my career and Ijust wanted this one forthem."

Sponsorships and donations have been pouringinto the new Smithsonian’s National Museum ofAfrican American History and Culture (NMAAHC),which is set to open on Sept. 24 on the National Mallin Washington, D.C.

Most recently, the popular 1990s R&B group EnVogue donated their performance‐worn dresses tothe museum.

“Our dresses from the ‘Never Gonna Get It/MyLovin’ video and the ‘Giving Him Something He CanFeel’ video will be debuting in the SmithsonianAfrican American History museum on September24,” group member Terry Ellis said. “So, we’re reallysuper excited about that.”

NBA Icon Michael Jordan also announced thismonth that he was providing a $5 million gift to themuseum along with his game‐worn 1996 NBA Finalsjersey.

The museum will reportedly place the famous jer‐sey in a wing called “Michael Jordan Hall,” that willfeature stories of 17 historic athletes.

In a news release, Jordan noted athletes like JesseOwens whose “talent, commitment and persever‐ance broke racial barriers and laid the groundworkfor the successful careers of so many African‐Americans in athletics and beyond.”

Also, in a statement, museum director Lonnie G.Bunch III said Jordan’s contribution will enable muse‐um “visitors to explore how sports were used tobreak barriers as a way to gain full participation inAmerican society.”

The National Museum of African American Historyand Culture is the only national museum devotedexclusively to the documentation of African‐American life, history, and culture. It was establishedby an Act of Congress in 2003, following decades ofefforts to promote and highlight the contributions ofAfrican‐Americans, according to the museum’s web‐site. To date, the museum has collected more than36,000 artifacts.

Nearly 100,000 individuals have become chartermembers of the museum and, when it opens, it will

be the 19th and newest museum of the SmithsonianInstitution.

Museum officials noted the four pillars upon whichthe NMAAHC stands: It provides an opportunity forthose who are interested in African‐American cultureto explore and revel in this history through interac‐tive exhibitions; It helps all Americans see how theirstories, their histories, and their cultures are shapedand informed by global influences; It explores what itmeans to be an American and share how Americanvalues like resiliency, optimism, and spirituality arereflected in African‐American history and culture;and it serves as a place of collaboration that reachesbeyond Washington, D.C., to engage new audiencesand to collaborate with the myriad of museums andeducational institutions that have explored and pre‐served this important history well before this muse‐um was created.

Earlier this year, The Hartford, a popular financialservices company, announced its founding sponsor‐ship of the museum. The company made a $1 millioncontribution over five years to support the designand construction of the building.

“The Hartford has been a part of American historyfor more than 200 years, growing, thriving andchanging along with our nation,” said Susan Johnson,head of diversity and inclusion at The Hartford. “Weare proud to be a founding sponsor of the NationalMuseum of African American History and Cultureand celebrate the important contributions of AfricanAmericans to the American Dream.”

On Feb. 22, 2012, the Smithsonian broke ground onthe NMAAHC at a five‐acre site on ConstitutionAvenue between 14th and 15th streets in NorthwestWashington, D.C.

The 400,000‐square‐foot building has five levelsabove ground and four below. It will have exhibitiongalleries, an education center, a theater, café andstore as well as staff offices.

Pinnacle donors – those who have contributed $20million or more – include the Lilly Endowment Inc.,Robert Frederick Smith, and the Oprah WinfreyCharitable Foundation.

Capstone donors – those who have contributed atleast $10 million – include the Atlantic

Philanthropies, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, TheAndrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Rhimes FamilyFoundation and David M. Rubenstein.

Cornerstone donors – those who have contributedat least $5 million – include 3M, American Express,The Boeing Company, Ford Foundation, GE, Robert L.Johnson, Kaiser Permanente, The RockefellerFoundation, Target, United Health Group, andWalmart.

Keystone Donors – those who have contributed atleast $2 million – include 21st Century Fox and NewsCorp, Bank of America, The Walt Disney Company,W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Kovler Foundation,Medtronic Foundation, The Moore CharitableFoundation/Louis Moore Bacon, Stavros NiarchosFoundation, Northrop Grumman, Prudential,Smithsonian Channel, Earl W. and Amanda Stafford,Patty Stonesifer and Michael Kinsley, Time WarnerFoundation, Toyota, United TechnologiesCorporation, Walton Family Foundation, Anthonyand Beatrice Welters and the Vincent WilkinsonFoundation.

Verizon, Xerox, Wells Fargo, Google, Tyler Perry,New York Life, MetLife Foundation, Fed Ex, FordMotor Company Fund, General Motors and a host ofothers have donated at least $1 million, making them“milestone donors.”

“After more than a decade of hard work and dedi‐cation on the part of so many, we will open the doorsof the museum and let visitors see that it is a placefor all people,” Bunch said in an earlier statement.

Bunch continued: “We have created exhibitionsand programs designed to unite and capture theattention of millions of people worldwide. It will be aplace for healing and reconciliation, a place whereeveryone can explore the story of America throughthe lens of the African American experience.”

The National Museum of African American Historyand Culture officially opens to the public followingthe dedication ceremony on Saturday, September 24,2016. The museum keeps its doors open for extend‐ed hours Sunday, September 25, from 10 am to10pm.

The Dallas Post Tribune 5AAugust 25 - 31, 2016

Do you have a love that canendure any storm and standthe test of time no matterwhat?

Often when we think oflove, we tend to think of theromantic form of love. Yes, wemight even consider the love aparent has for a child, but mostoften it is the romantic type oflove that comes to mind.However, Paul discusses love inits most powerful and purest

form. He says in FirstCorinthians 13 that love ispatient and it is kind. He goeson to say it never fails. This isthe kind of love that most of usdesire to have in our lives, alove that is patient and kindand will never fail us. But if welook for this kind of love in ourrelationships, they will fail usevery time. Paul says, “Love ispatient, love is kind. It doesnot envy, it does not boast, it isnot proud. It is not rude, it isnot self‐seeking, it is not easilyangered, and it keeps norecord of wrongs. Love doesnot delight in evil but rejoiceswith the truth. It always pro‐tects, always trusts, alwayshopes, and always perseveres.Love never fails.” (1Corinthians 13: 4‐8)

How many of us can say thatwe love in this manner? Notmany. When we are able tolove in this manner, then we

can say that we are beginningto learn how to love in a Christ‐like manner. True love onlywants the best for its beloved.It does not desire to have itsown way. True love seeks tohelp bring out the best in aperson and to be that softplace for a person to fall. Thetype of love that Paul is talkingabout cannot start with usalone.

As a matter of fact, we dosee this type of love expressedon a daily basis. This is thekind of love that Christ has forus. His love is patient, and it iskind. His love does not envy,nor does it boast, His love isnot proud. Christ’s love for us isnot rude, it is not self‐seeking,His love is not easily angered,and His love keeps no record ofour wrong doings. His love forus does not delight in evil but itrejoices gladly in the truth.Christ’s love for us always pro‐

tects, His love always trusts,His love always hopes, and hislove always perseveres. Christ’slove never fails. This is truly anagape type of love. It’s anamazing kind of love. Whenyou experience this kind oflove, you can never feel worthyof it. Yet, this is the kind of lovethat God expresses to us.

What kind of love do youwant in your life? What kind oflove do you try to express toyour loved ones, to yourfriends, to people you simplypass on the street? Are youwilling to receive and acceptChrist’s unfailing love? If youare, you can begin to learn tolove more deeply and sincere‐ly. Now that you know the kindof love that Christ has for us,you can begin to express thiskind of love toward others. So,the next time you are upset,don’t lose your patience.Amen? Amen.

By John Calvin Smith

Romans chapter 8 is oneglorious chapter assuring usof victory in Jesus Christ.Although this chapter bringsout the fact that there arechallenges we mustencounter, yet we will bevictorious in Jesus Christ!After describing the groan‐ing of both Christians andcreation itself, Paul said,“And we know that all thingswork together for good”(Romans 8:28). Ultimately,

all believers who love Godwill receive God’s blessing!We can be assured that allthat comes about in ourlives is according to the eter‐nal plan of the all‐ wise andall‐powerful HeavenlyFather.

In Romans 8:29‐30, wecatch a glimpse of all eterni‐ty and time, for these versesconfirm and elaborate whatPaul said in verse 28. Fromthese sublime verses, we areassured that God’s eternalplan conceived in eternitywill be consummated intime. As believers, we havebeen called, justified andone day we will experiencebeing glorified when wereceive a glorified body atthe Rapture (I Corinthians15:51‐57). Our God demon‐strated His vested interest inus by justifying us in thesending of His Son to die in

our stead; thus, God is onour side and no one can suc‐cessfully condemn us. Godgave His best for us, and wecan be assured that He willgive us all we need (vs. 31‐32). Furthermore, sinceGod, the Divine Judge, hasfully pardoned and acquit‐ted us, no one can bring asustaining charge againstGod. In addition, the con‐demnation of the believersis impossible since God theFather has pardoned them(vs. 33‐34). It is a wonderfulthought to know that we aresaved because God theFather is the great Justifierof all who accept Jesus’work on the cross (Romans3:24‐26).

In verse 35‐36, althoughbelievers may experiencevarious trials, we areassured that various trialscannot separate us from

Christ’s love. Neither per‐sons nor trials can separateus from Christ’s awesomelove! We are indeedassured of victory becauseof Christ’s love for us (v. 37).No matter what might tran‐spire in creation, the lovethat Christ has for us clingsto us regardless of death,life, or anything else in theuniverse (vs. 38‐39). Thebeliever of Jesus Christ isnever cut off from His love –Praise God! David conclud‐ed in Psalm 139:7‐12 thatthere was no place he couldgo to escape God’s presenceand I am assured from read‐ing these verses 38‐39 thatno circumstance can sepa‐rate us from God’s awesomelove for us! Again nothing inthis universe can cut offGod’s love for us!

May God Bless!

A Little Bit of Faith: A Love for a L i fe t ime

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK ATBLACK MENTAL HEALTH

By Patricia Maryland, Dr.PH (NNPA News Wire Guest

Columnist)

Good physical and mentalhealth help drive successand enjoyment in our lives.But when it comes to over‐coming some of our soci‐ety’s biggest health chal‐lenges – from HIV/AIDS tocancer to diabetes to behav‐ioral health issues – theAfrican‐American communi‐ty unfortunately shoulders adisproportionate share ofthe burden. As our nationincreasingly deals with vio‐lence, suicide and depres‐sion, it’s important to take aclose look at the state ofBlack mental health inAmerica.

The National Institute ofMental Health estimatesthat one of every five adultsin the U.S. — some 43 mil‐lion people — will experi‐ence mental illness this year.African‐Americans are farfrom immune. In fact, Blacksare more than 20 percentmore likely than Whites toreport having serious psy‐chological distress. For peo‐ple of color living in poverty‐stricken neighborhoods,where rates of homeless‐

ness, incarceration, sub‐stance abuse and violentcrime are higher, the risk ofmental illness is compound‐ed.

One of the challengesAfrican‐Americans withmental health issues contin‐ue to face is an imbalance inhealth insurance coverage.While the Affordable CareAct has caused the unin‐sured rate among Blacks todecline by close to 10 per‐centage points between2013 and 2016, it remainsalmost twice as high as theuninsured rate for non‐Hispanic Whites. There isalso a lack of African‐American mental health pro‐fessionals who can deliverculturally competent carefor illnesses that are oftendeeply personal and can bethe subject of stigmatiza‐tion. According to a 2014survey, less than 2 percentof American PsychologicalAssociation members areAfrican‐American.

These disparities are unac‐ceptable. It is clear that wemust make mental healthequity a guiding principleand an utmost priority. AsAscension’s President andCEO Anthony Tersignirecently stated: “Insurancecoverage for the treatmentof these disorders has longbeen discriminatory com‐pared with coverage forphysical diseases. In 2008,the federal governmentessentially legislated thatthere be parity betweenmental health coverage andphysical health coverage,

but the intended changeshave been problematic andslow in coming.”

On the part of healthcareproviders, addressing thischallenge means promotingand expanding access toaffordable mental andbehavioral healthcare —care that recognizes thestressors that African‐Americans experience andprovides solutions that areculturally competent. Forour part, we have estab‐lished behavioral/mentalhealth as a dedicated priori‐ty service line across ournational healthcare system.

This work demands con‐tinued investment in com‐munity health centers,which are vital to servinghigh‐need minority neigh‐borhoods. And it requiresthat we go beyond the tradi‐tional scope of care byaddressing the socioeco‐nomic needs that contributeto mental health, includingaccess to affordable hous‐ing, food security and more.

Going beyond the tradi‐tional scope also means thatour nation must address thecare of our military veterans.Current statistics reveal that18 to 22 veterans die by sui‐cide each day in Americabecause of their uniquemental and behavioralhealth needs. Some of theseveterans are African‐Americans; we must domore to help all vets. That’sone reason for Ascension’sparticipation in the federalVeterans Choice Program,which was formed to

improve the quality andaccess of care to veteransnationwide.

All of these programs andinvestments are important,but real gains in this fightwill not come without thesupport and participation ofthe African‐American com‐munity overall. We muststop viewing mental illnessin America as if it were a per‐sonal failing rather than aserious health concern. Andwe must help our loved onesand neighbors to stopneglecting the care theyneed because of stigmasthat surround mentalhealth. These stigmas mustbe addressed and overcome.

While communities ofcolor are having importantconversations about mentalhealth, we can do more.Breaking down these barri‐ers will compel us not onlyto recognize the necessity ofmental health care, but alsoto marshal our support forfamily, friends and neighborswho are seeking the helpand treatment they need.Together, we can build ahealthier, stronger commu‐nity, where getting supportfor mental health problemsis not a sign of weakness,but one of strength.

Patricia A. Maryland,Dr.PH, is the President ofHealthcare Operations andChief Operating Officer forAscension Health, thehealthcare delivery sub‐sidiary of Ascension, thenation’s largest non‐profitand largest Catholic healthsystem.

BE KIND! Neverspeak harsh words.Be kind and gentlewith your tongue.

For it has been saidthat the tongue can

be like a sword.Think long beforeyou criticize your

neighbor. Yourtongue can be nasty.Living is one of the

most beautiful thingsin the world. But the

tongue can kill!
