This past week the nation mourned the loss of R. Sargent Shriver, who first answered the call in 1961 for national public service from the then President of the United States, who just happened to be his brother-in-law, by becoming the founding director the Peace Corps which will this year have nobly served the needy of this world for a half a century. Throughout his remarkable life he championed public service in many forms and was one of its most ardent solicitors for participants, particularly from the younger generation that was so energized by the famous words of President Kennedy in his inauguration speech "...ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
Besides his known work with the Peace Corps, Shriver also notably worked on President Johnson's 1964 War on Poverty by serving as the first director of the Office of Economic Opportunity which spawned such programs as Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), Community Action Program (CAP), Jobs Corps, Head Start and the Neighborhood Youth Corps; served as ambassador to France from 1968-1970; founded the Congressional Leadership for the Future (CLF); was actively involved in a variety of political activities; ran as George McGovern's vice president in 1972; and in the 1980s and 90s served as Chairman of the Board of Special Olympics International. What is less known about Sargent Shriver was his public service in education in the 1950s by directing the Catholic Interracial Council, which was established to desegregate the schools, as well as serving the Chicago Board of Education.
It is that last attribution that brings me to why I think he would be most proud today. Specifically, we continue to struggle nationally to improve public education systems all over America that produce a large percentage of graduates who need remedial courses in college before they can even enroll in courses for credit (55% in Arkansas in 2009) and 25% of whom cannot even pass the Army's basic entry exam. Some of the more popular programs to address these problems, as discussed in the recent documentary movie Waiting for "Superman", include among others merit pay, charter schools, longer school days and years, a variety of student assessment programs, and teacher accountability. However, there is one public service program devoted to education that is actually making a real difference now where it is needed most and that is Teach for America. Learn more about this amazing organization at http://teachforamerica.org.
As showcased just today in our Sunday edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, this marvelous program melds perfectly with Sargent Shriver's repeated calls for public service to the youth of our nation 50 years ago with a current systemic and measurable need. In our state we hired 169 of these young people this school year who commit two years of their lives to go into mainly impoverished areas sorely in need of teachers to augment their existing staffs. More times than not these young people lack any formal teaching education, for which they more than compensate with their intellect, as many come from elite universities, and enthusiasm to help others and make a difference. Teach for America is so popular that they are able to hire only 10% of those who apply (4,500 out of 46,000 applicants in 2010). More importantly, and maybe just because of their lack of traditional training, these teachers incorporate many new and innovative ideas and concepts into their teaching methods that excite the students and get overall classroom participation. Learn the full story of how "fears turned to hope" for the school superintendent and principal in one of our Arkansas cities in need thanks to a committed young lady from Ohio who works for Teach for America at http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2011/jan/23/program-filling-gaps-thin-teacher-ranks-20110123/?subscriber/arkansas.
One amazing fact that you will also learn from that article is that our state Department of Education contributes only $3,000 per teacher for up to 100 such teachers from this program while our old nemesis Mississippi contributes $13,000 per teacher from Teach for America! Does "Thank God for Mississippi" have any relevance in our world today? One superintendent in our Delta region, where teacher salaries are only 72% of what is paid in the larger metropolitan school districts in Arkansas, is so impressed with the results they have experienced that she has created a "retention plan" to keep these Teach for America teachers in her community. In short, this program is to be commended and rewarded with our full support both morally and financially.

Healing of the Heart and Cleansing of the Soul
In the wake of the Arizona tragedy and on the eve of celebrating Martin Luther King Day, all of the apparent conciliation, cooperation and toning down of political rhetoric seems to be an appropriate and welcomed tack for this country to be taking. Time will tell if ill winds return and blow us off course to possibly achieving some badly needed bi-partisan results for our country.
On this positive note it also seems that now would be an excellent time to admit to the root causes of all the anger and mistrust that has built up over the past few years. In the view of many renown spiritual leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Dr. King and Rev. Billy Graham among others, the true reason for our feelings goes much deeper than the external forces with which we are all familiar (e.g. recession, economic disparity, war, unemployment, global competition, immigration policy, etc.). In short, it goes straight to the human heart which is affected by a multitude of stimuli and emotions including greed, ego, pride, hate and revenge which all tear at the fabric of our soul. Each of us in our own way knows how our conduct is influenced by these spiritual flaws and recognize that it takes an act of personal redemption to restore faith in ourselves as the first step in collectively restoring the spiritual well-being of mankind as a whole. Once that "healing of the heart" has taken place, it might be helpful to then embrace the message of that well-known Serenity Prayer which begins:
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."
But, please go to http://www.cptryon.org/prayer/special/serenity.html to read it in its entirety.
And, finally, let me suggest that one way we could practice another important admonition in that prayer of "Enjoying one moment at a time" is by taking advantage of the wonderful world of art that is open to all of us on so many levels including painting, music, plays, movies, etc. and at so many venues. In that regard I am pleased to add to my list of studio artists, Julie McNair, whom I was privileged to meet a year ago this past September in Telluride, Colorado while attending their film festival. As a direct result of that chance encounter, Julie was invited to participate in Little Rock's annual Sculpture in the River Market event last October. Like all of the others listed, she is a truly talented artist whose work I find unique and sometimes with a whimsical flair that I find most enjoyable and uplifting. Go to her website at http://juliemcnair.com and see for yourself.

What's It Going To Take?
As has been noted in this blog before, events trump intentions, and the recent tragedy in Arizona just begs to be addressed on so many fronts that it immediately jumps to the front of the line. Once again a deranged young man with easy access to a lethal weapon, allowed to be carried with little or no restriction, snuffs out the life of six individuals including a nine year old child who shared her birthday with that ghastly date of recent infamy, September 11, 2001. So who do we blame this time? Genes? Society? Childhood environment? A wild wild west mentality? Lack of effective gun control? Immigration policy? General anger in America? Absence of security? Or hostile political rhetoric that literally "targets" members of the opposition, and references using "bullets rather than ballots" as a means to deal with those with whom they disagree?
In fact the one lone survivor who is now the focus of our national attention and concern, Representative "Gabby" Gifford, herself commented last spring during the heated health care debate about those in the opposition who literally placed her, among others, in their cross-hairs by stating such words do "have serious consequences". This same warning was amplified by former President Bill Clinton in his address before the Center for American Progress Action Fund on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing when he stated "....words we use really do matter because there's this vast echo chamber and they go across space and they fall on the serious and delirious alike; they fall on the connected and unhinged alike". How prophetic in both instances.
Who actually knows what the true cause of this latest heinous act was, but more and more those in law enforcement and elective office are starting to talk about reining in the vitriolic language now present in our public discourse. The national news media began that open conversation yesterday on all the major talking head shows and it continues on most networks even today. However, as our own legislature commences its session this month with a reported list of highly charged legislative bills which I understand will include an "open carry" bill that would allow a permitted gun owner to carry a firearm wherever he or she pleases gives me great pause. If correct, this would offer an excellent opportunity for Arkansas to do the courageous thing, set a high standard for the nation to follow and say enough is enough by stopping this onerous piece of legislation before it even gets to the floor for a vote. That would at least be a start in doing what it will take.

Renewal 2011
As the new year begins, now is the traditional time for all of us to renew our minds, body and spirit with resolutions of how we will better ourselves in all three areas, many of which will be either broken or forgotten by Valentine's Day. Such is the nature of the human condition, and I do not exclude myself. However, thanks to one of my resolutions I was treated to an inspiring lesson in yesterday morning's Sunday school program which I would like to share.
The basic thesis of this first of a five-part series centered on the question "What legacy do you wish to leave the world", based on the recently published book ILL FARES THE LAND by Tony Judt. Embedded in that question and much less obvious is the notion of do others really even notice or care what we do? Years ago I heard a speech by one of Little Rock's most prominent citizens in which he approached that very question from a different angle by asking is it really in one's best interest to actually say "I really don't care what people think about me" as a response to his or her public conduct? His point was that you should care, as it is impossible to know for sure who might look upon you as a role model and be strongly influenced by your words or actions. In effect we all create a legacy whether we know it or not, so what we say and do should reflect a degree of high moral character and integrity.
Today's lesson then used a Baccalaureate Address by Bill Moyers to the students of Hamilton College on May 20, 2006, as the perfect setting in which to explore the concept of "legacy" since most such speeches focus on what one generation passes on to another. In short, it began with an apology for ".....the mess you are inheriting" including "....the war in Iraq, ....huge debts, ....the polarized country, the corporate scandals, the corrupt politics, our imperiled democracy, ....sprawl and our addiction to oil, and ....toxins in the environment". His admonition after posing that list of what was wrong with America was "Good luck in cleaning it up".
However, thankfully, his message did not end there. Instead, as you would expect Bill Moyers to do, he re-focused that Class of 2006 on the positive ways they could "....respond to the dissonance in our culture, the rivalry between beauty and bestiality in the world, and the conflicts in your own soul" by quoting Albert Camus' feeling about that conflict between beauty and humiliation in the world who noted that "....we have to strive, hard as it is, not to be unfaithful....in the presence of one or the other". Mr. Moyers concluded his message by relating his favorite story about Shalom Aleicheim and his "passing of the bread". To get the full flavor of this story, read about it as contained in his speech at http://www.hamilton.edu/documents//commencement/moyers.PDF.
Another way to convey the essence of my message on this beginning of 2011 is best expressed by the recurring verse from that wonderful hymn which was used to close our lesson "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me". Happy New Year!
