S
even years ago, brothers Cal-
vin and Malik Johnson or-
ganized a basketball tourna-
ment at the Eastwick Recreation Center
where Calvin is a recreation leader. The
tournament expanded to a citywide
event, with basketball tourneys held
simultaneously at recreation centers
throughout Philadelphia.
After much support and its positive
effect on the community, these tourna-
ments fanned out into a community
gathering and have become the annual
event we call the Weekend of Peace.
This year on July 29-31, the 8th An-
nual Weekend of Peace/Family Fun Day
was held locally at both Kingsessing
and Eastwick recreation centers. The
events included free food, drinks and
entertainment, featuring inspirational
speaker Demitrius Horton, also known
as Automatic, in the dance group Rap-
ping About Prevention.
Its so easy to get caught up in the
nonsense but its so hard to get out of
it, said Horton while speaking to youth
at the event, If you have friends that
try to manipulate you to do bad things,
theyre not your real friends.
One of the main attractions dur-
ing the Weekend of Peace was the
Ivan Pick Brown Memorial Basket-
ball Tournament. Brown, who attended
Monsignor Bonner High School and St.
Josephs University, was an outstanding
basketball player a hero on and off the
court. He played ball at Kingsessing too
where his parents Southwest residents

O
ne of the first con-
sequences of the
Republ i can- l ed
reduction of federal funds for
government services needed
by Southwest residents will be
felt in Southwest next week.
As indicated in the article
on the reduced hours at the
Woodland Avenue Social Se-
curity office on this page, due
to reduced money for the So-
cial Security Administration,
that office will be obliged to
close an hour early each day.
This is a vivid example of
how a numerically small num-
ber of conservatives in mid-
western and southern states
have twice blackmailed their
representatives in Congress
to force government cutbacks
which affect the lower and
middle economic classes.
Last December, it was the
extension of the Bush tax cuts
for the rich that President
Obama had to trade for criti-
cally needed extension of un-
employment benefits and de-
ferral of payroll taxes both
vitally needed by the millions
ordinary people who are out-
of-work or in low paying jobs.
Last week, the shortsight-
ed right-wingers forced a last-
minute compromise which
barters undefined government
budget cutbacks and other
concessions for an increase
in the debt limit previously
considered a formality rather
than a basis for partisan politi-
cal bargaining.
In forcing through this
supposedly conservative agen-
da, of course, the Tea-Party
members have been oblivious
to three important realities:
1. First, they have been ma-
nipulated by tremendously
powerful business interests
into backing their thought-
less small government
no-tax-increase position.
In the end, the compro-
mises forced on President
Obama only benefit really
wealthy individuals and
large corporations by con-
tinuing the tax reductions
passed during the Bush ad-
ministration.
2. Second, by blindly pushing
the simplistic concept of
smaller government, these
right-wingers fail to realize
that in the end, they are the
beneficiaries of many of the
federal and state programs
they seek to cut Medi-
care, Social Security, vet-
erans benefits, repairs to
highways and bridges, air
travel safety, and dozens of
others.
3. Thirdly, the Republicans
conveniently forget that the
greater part of the national
debt they are so concerned
about were the result of
President Bushs policies:
Not paying for his wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, the
unconscionable tax ben-
efits for the rich, his failure
to control banks and fi-
nancial speculators which
caused much of the current
economic downturn, and
his own bank bailouts.
Some voices on the far left
of the political spectrum have
begun finding fault with Pres-
ident Obama and his party
leaders in Congress for agree-
ing to these budget cuts and
wealthy tax breaks. We take
strong exception to these com-
plainers.
In our view, a consider-
able part of the blame for the
fact that government funding
of key social programs are at
risk is that local Democratic
Party workers and ordinary
voters failed to show up for
last Novembers election. This
contributed significantly to
Republicans gaining control
of the US House of Represen-
tatives (and our entire Penn-
sylvania government as well).
The leaders of the Repub-
lican Party have stated clearly
and plainly that the steps they
have taken to pass their reac-
tionary legislation and attempt
to block President Obamas
programs have a single objec-
tive to defeat him and elect
a Republican to the White
House in November 2012.
The passage of voter reg-
istration and election day vot-
ing requirements has imposed
an substantial extra burden on
those who feel that the Presi-
dent Obama should be contin-
ued in office and be supported
by fair-minded legislators in
both Houses of Congress (and
in Harrisburg). It is not too
soon to begin taking practical
and comprehensive steps to
offset these restrictions on our
voting rights.

Republican Funding Cuts Begin to Hurt
E
ffective August 15,
2011, the Social Se-
curity Office at 6120
Woodland Ave. will be open to
the public Monday through Fri-
day from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. a
reduction of 30 minutes each
weekday.
While agency employees on
the second floor offices in the
Woodland Village Plaza main
building will continue to work
their regular hours, this shorter
public window will allow them
to complete face-to-face service
with the visiting public without
incurring the cost of overtime.
Congress provided Social
Security with nearly $1 billion
less than the President request-
ed for the budget this fiscal
year, which makes it impos-
sible for the agency to provide
the amount of overtime needed
to handle service to the public
as it has in the past.
The Social Security Admin-
istration urges those needing its
services to begin the process by
contacting them through the
internet or by phone. In many
cases, Social Security services
do not require a visit to an of-
fice. For example, anyone wish-
ing to apply for benefits, sign
up for direct deposit, replace a
Medicare card, obtain a proof of
income letter or advise a change
of address or telephone number
may do so at www.socialsecu-
rity.gov or by dialing the toll-
free number, 1-800-772-1213.
People who are deaf or hard of
hearing may call the TTY num-
ber, 1-800-325-0778.

ment was provided by the Media,

hree of the areas
top healthcare-re-
lated organizations
have combined to launch a
healthy eating program in
Southwest and elsewhere in
the city. The Small Steps
Program, to combat obesity
kicked off Saturday, July 30,
next to the Woodland Avenue
Health Center of Greater Phil-
adelphia Health Action, Inc.
(GPHA) at 5000 Woodland
Ave.
Local residents were able
to obtain fresh vegetables and
fruit grown by farmers in Lan-
caster county and visit tables
where health professionals
from UnitedHealthcare Com-
munity & State, the countrys
largest Medicaid managed
care company checked blood
pressure and provided other
healthy lifestyle information.
Greater Philadel-
phia Health Action,
Inc. is a major provider
of primary, dental and
behavioral healthcare
in Southwest with its
two health centers on
Woodland Avenue.
GPHA founder
and CEO Ronald Hei-
gler broadcast a mes-
sage to the public over
radio station WURD-
AM strongly support-
ing the consumption
of locally grown, nat-
ural foods as a means
of reducing obesity
and the medical conditions
associated with being over-
weight such as heart disease
and diabetes.
Obesity is a public health
crisis in Philadelphia, said
Mayor Michael Nutter. The
prevalence of diseases as-
sociated with obesity is well
above national goals,
and socioeconomic
and racial dispari-
ties are a common
factor. Everyone in
the Commonwealth
deserves access to
available information
and resources to help
us fight obesity in or-
der to live healthier
lives.
According to a
2008 U.S. Depart-
ment of Public Health
report, in Philadel-
phia, 64% of adults
and 57% of children
ages 6 to 11 are overweight
or obese. Additionally, nearly
70% of children are over-
weight or considered clinical-
ly obese in North Philadel-
phia which means their Body
Mass Index (BMI) is above the
national standard for weight
and height measurements.
Also noted in the report
is a connection between a
lack of access to affordable,
healthy foods as a risk fac-
tor for obesity and related
poor health outcomes. The
need for increased access to
healthy foods was also shown
to be especially important in
low-income, minority neigh-
borhoods in the City of Phila-
delphia.

hen Southwest residents
have problems getting
their finances in order,
they can find help by consulting advis-
ers at Southwest CDC.
That was the experience of Bea-
trice Tuazama who lives just down the
street from the Southwest CDC offices
on Paschall Avenue. If you have trou-
bles organizing your payments or bills,
I suggest you come
along and visit the
friendly people
at number 6328,
she said recently.
They tell you free
of charge just what
you need to do in
that lively office
there.
Tuazama remi-
nisced on the first
time she sought
help from South-
west CDC.
The first time I went there was at
the suggestion of one of my neighbors
and I was advised to return with all my
bills, Tuazama recalled.
When she got back, she was sched-
uled for counseling on managing her
finances, looking at her mortgage situa-
tion, getting caught up with heating and
electrical bills, and even getting some
help with plumbing and weatherization
repairs. They have experts in every
room of the office, and all of them went
the extra mile for me, she said. The
receptionist, Virginia, was especially
helpful and friendly, organizing every-
thing for me.
When my daughter was having dif-
ficulties at school with other children
trying to put her down and make her feel
uncomfortable, Southwest CDC knew
the right people to call to get help, indi-
cated Tuazama, a Liberian native whose
father originally came from Sierra Le-
one. I love every one of those employ-
ees. I really found them a blessing!.

My advice to my neighbors is:
leave your problems at home, said
Tuazama, recently
named Mother of
the Year at Church
of the Living God
at 61st Street and
Woodland Avenue.
When you go to
work, be kind, re-
spectful and smil-
ing. If you dont
have a job, get in-
volved in some kind
of public service.
No matter whats
happening in your
life, be willing to
reach out and help
other people. Thats what the people at
Southwest CDC do; just go to them and
tell them what you need.
Responding to Tuazamas invitation
to Southwest residents to come to the
office for help, Ebony Taylor, self suffi-
ciency counselor at Southwest CDC not-
ed that the non-profit agency is limited
in some instances, to helping residents
who live in certain zip codes including
19143, 19142 and 19153.
But, we can always refer you to the
right organization for assistance if we
cant help you ourselves, said Ebony.

chall Ave., or call 215-729-0800.

R
eaders of the South-
west Globe Times
newspaper this
summer may have noticed the
increasing number of articles
bearing the byline of Caleb
Nothwehr. His active cover-
age of events and penetrating
interviews with local person-
alities have added much to
the interest of residents who
rely on the Globe Times for
the good news about their
community.
His writing assignments
for the Globe Times have tak-
en him the length and breadth
of Southwest which he cov-
ers on his trusty red bicycle,
rain or shine.
Said Globe Times editor
Edith Dixon, Caleb obvious-
ly has a passion for writing.
Hes thorough and has a great
capacity for getting people to
open up to him. Thats what
lets him write articles that
folks like to read. Were really
lucky to have him available
to help us with the paper for
these few months.
Caleb uses a delightful,
natural style in composing his
articles that fits in with the
way we approach our stories
at the Globe Times, added
publisher Ted Behr. We have
had numerous compliments
about his writing both from
people who read the stories
and from those he has writ-
ten about.
Nothwehr, a native of
Iowa, has his undergraduate
degree in journalism from
the University of Kansas.
He now serves as a graduate
assistant at Eastern Univer-
sity in suburban St. Davids,
Pa., while he pursues his
masters degree in multicul-
tural education. At Eastern
he acts as a communica-
tions liaison between pro-
fessors and other graduate
students.
Part of his ability to
establish a warm relation-
ship with the subjects of
his writing no doubt stems
from having worked for
more than two years as an
associate area director for
the Christian youth organi-
zation Young Life in Denver,
Colo. At Young Life, he re-
cruited and trained volunteer
mentors to come alongside
young people to give greater
meaning and purpose to their
lives.
Working with kids and
families at an urban Denver
school, serving as a mentor,
tutor, counselor and friend
provided me with an assort-
ment of experiences working
with under-resourced and
under-served families, Noth-
wehr recounted to the Globe
Times.
My experiences with
Young Life propelled me to
explore a career in education,
he added. My graduate assis-
tantship at Eastern allows me
to serve as the assistant editor
for the International Journal
of Multicultural Education
This lets me gain experience
in writing and editing, doing
research and overseeing the
publication of a companion
blog for the Journal.
Married for the past year-
and-a-half, Caleb and his wife
Amy now reside in West Phil-
adelphia.

Ronald and Rebecca Brown,
are involved in activities.
Sadly, Mr. Brown became
the victim of senseless violence
when he was shot to death
in Southwest back in 2004.
His killer was never found.
Through this tragedy, the Ivan
Pick Brown Memorial Foun-
dation was created.
Ivan trained youth on
sportsmanship, team work,
and skill, said Rob Brown Jr.,
Ivans brother. We want the
youth to see that you can have
sports and it doesnt have to
involve violence.
The Browns host a fam-
ily fun day every year which
involves about 300 girls and
boys who come out to play
basketball.
This tournament fit in well
with the concept developed
by Weekend of Peace found-
ers Calvin and Malik Johnson,
whose mother was one of the
first female coaches in their
West Philadelphia neighbor-
hood making sports always at
the center of their family fun.
The Weekend of Peace had
many key players who volun-
tarily organized the event. At
Kingsessing, the activities are
spearheaded by members of
the South West Action Coali-
tion (SWAC) many of whom
said they want peace to last
longer than just a weekend.
What it symbolizes in
terms of the hope is that there
will be 365 days of peace, said
Christine Riddick, member of
South West Action Coalition
(SWAC) and a Weekend of
Peace organizer. The commu-
nity is the key to its success.
This year there were few-
er health care providers after
SWAC had to re-organize. Af-
ter a late start, it was unable
to get many health care pro-
viders and other vendors who
normally grace the rec centers
sprawling grounds on the day
of the event. Though the city-
wide event had fewer partici-
pants than in previous years,
community members said they
felt their involvement is the
bigger piece. To that end, it
was a day filled with fun and a
total success according to Seth
Williams, Philadelphias Dis-
trict Attorney.
Im very thankful about
the organization of the Week-
end of Peace, said Williams.
Its important to let the youth
know that adults are involved
in good things.

T
here is still a profound
belief by most people
living in the United
States of America that a democ-
racy works best when the public
is engaged. We even thought the
City of Philadelphia City Council
agreed.
As reported by philly.com:
On June 23, Council passed a res-
olution promising to hold public
community based hearings to ed-
ucate and inform citizens on the
redistricting process . . . in order
to create an open and transparent
opportunity for public engage-
ment. Of course June 23 was
probably too late to begin a real
process of education and engage-
ment considering the magnitude
and complexity of the task, and
oh yes, council is normally not
in session during their summer
recess.
Under the city charter, the
10 councilmanic districts must
be redrawn every 10 years. Us-
ing census data, council must
make sure that each district has
roughly 10% of the population -
or 152,600 people, according to
the latest federal census count.
What underlying issues
might get in the way of public
participation in redistricting?
As set forth in our city char-
ter: ...the councilmen shall not
receive any further salaries until
the Council shall have passed and
the mayor shall have approved a
redistricting ordinance as herein
required...
If Council doesnt complete
an acceptable and legal redistrict-
ing ordinance within six months
of the data being released, then its
members go without pay, which
happened in 1991 and 2001. This
year the deadline is Sept. 9.
A look back 10 years ago to a
famous moment in Philadelphia
City Council redistricting history
in the office of the then presi-
dent of City Council, as retold
on philly.com: Dealing with a di-
vorce, Councilman Rick Mariano
owned two houses in his district,
one in Northwood, the other in
Juniata Park. The map he saw
had both addresses in other dis-
tricts, he said.
This aint going to happen,
Mariano told his colleagues, add-
ing a string of expletives, accord-
ing to his account and those of
others who were in the room.
Then Councilman Angel
Ortiz, long an advocate for in-
creasing the number of Hispanic
voters in Marianos district, said
something about the difficulty of
drawing new lines.
Youre threatening my job.
You aint going to do that, Mari-
ano replied. Ill knock out your
teeth and throw you out the win-
dow.
Some claim, another reason
Council doesnt want public par-
ticipation is, redistrictings only
purpose is to cast in stone the
incumbents donor and political
bases, and, as best as possible,
assure the incumbents or party
in powers re-election chances.
Thus the resulting districts em-
body the goals of politicians not
the interests of the represented
communities and the public at
large.
The NAACP has a longstand-
ing interest in redistricting na-
tionwide. Responding to pressure
from our local branch, city coun-
cil announced it will conduct ad-
ditional public hearings on how
to redraw their district boundar-
ies and sent out the following an-
nouncement: At 10:30 a.m. Tues-
day, Aug. 16 a hearing will be
held in City Councils chambers,
Room 400 City Hall. Two addi-
tional hearings will be held at
locations outside of Center City
Philadelphia. (We will try to an-
nounce them in the Globe Times
to our Southwest community.)
The public will have a fourth
opportunity to express its views
once a bill proposing a new re-
districting plan is introduced.
The bill will likely be offered at
councils Sept. 8 session, and, as
is the case with all bills, will be
followed by a scheduled hearing
at which members of the public
will have a full opportunity to
testify.
Persons wishing to testify in
person at any of the hearings are
asked to call 215-686-3407 and to
leave a message with their name
and telephone number. Written
testimony may also be submit-
ted at any time, and will be dis-
tributed to each council member
and made a part of the official
record. Written testimony should
be e-mailed to maranda.garcia@
phila.gov or delivered to the Of-
fice of the Chief Clerk of Council
in Room 402 City Hall.
The local software and map-
ping firm Azavea has built www.
fixphillydistricts.com that allows
citizens to draw their own Coun-
cil districts. Azavea, WHYY/
Newsworks, the Daily News edi-
torial board, and the Penn Project
for Civic Engagement recently
hosted a workshop and are spon-
soring a contest, to help/encour-
age citizens to participate.
Harris Sokoloff, faculty di-
rector of the Penn Project on Civ-
ic Engagement wants civic en-
gagement because citizens tend
to think about issues differently
from experts. And, it is important
for council people and the citi-
zens they represent, to engage in
give and take with each other.
Azavea will conduct webi-
nars on how to use the tool at 6:30
p.m. Thurs., Aug. 11, and 6:30
p.m. next Mon., Aug. 15. Sign up
to take part at FixPhillyDistricts.

right smiles adorned
the faces of children
at the Summer Camp
at Patterson Elementary School
last week, following another visit
from a dental van that provides
free service to urban children.
The budding doc-
tors of Penn Smiles, a
mobile dental office,
sponsored by the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania,
School of Dental Medi-
cine to do community
outreach in dentistry
to schools in this area,
stopped by the Patter-
son Summer Camp last
week to give free dental
screenings and follow
up visits to students. In
addition, some of the
parents whose children
participated in the pro-
gram received a compli-
mentary fan courtesy of
the CityLights Network,
a program of the Wayne
Presbyterian Church,
Wayne, Pa.
The students had their teeth
cleaned and filled. They also re-
ceived appointments for future
visits.
The campers didnt have
to go to them to get their teeth
cleaned, said a smiling Jackie
Simmons, a Patterson Summer
Camp supervisor. The dental
students of Penn came to them.
The parents were delighted.
Parents of the nearly 70 camp-
ers signed a parental release form
for Penn Smiles, whose staffers
treated about seven students a
day. One day the van broke down
on its way to the school. However
that did not stop the determined,
budding doctors from providing
oral care to the campers.
They came without the bus
and set up in the gym using a
portable chair and dental equip-
ment, said Simmons, and went
on performing their services as
usual.
Simmons said the
staff at Penn Smiles
went above and beyond
the call of duty just to
work on the childrens
teeth at Patterson prior
to the last day of camp
on Friday, August 12.
The parents and
campers wanted to
say thanks to the Penn
Smiles instructor and
the Penn dental stu-
dents, she said, for all
their help in attempts
to keep our teeth clean.
Thanks.
In addition, Sim-
mons said the Patterson
campers and their par-
ents wanted to extend a sincere
thanks to CityLights for the gen-
erous fan donation.
Those fans helped cool off a
lot of our campers during this last
hot spell, she said.

L
ocal twins Amayia and Mi-
lan Jennings, age 9, may have
found their career launching
point as laboratory scientists through
the Science in the Summer program
at Cobbs Creek Library, held July 19
and 20.
As soon as we left, they started
experimenting in the van, said Jack-
ie Brack, the twins mother. Brack
said she had to rein in her daughters
enthusiasm as they started to turn the
van into a laboratory with their mag-
nifying glasses and test tube drop-
pers.
The Jennings sisters were two of
about 30 grade-school students who
participated in the program at Cobbs
Creek Library. The program now in
its 25th year extends to more than
100 other branch libraries in the metro
area with close to 5,000 students par-
ticipating. Enrollment for the program
is filled for this summer, but supportive
parents are enthusiastic about its re-
sults.
It sparks more interest, Brack said,
If I say lets go check out something
on DNA, theyll know what Im talking
about.
For participating libraries in Phila-
delphia, this years program focused on
genetics. Students found themselves
constructing DNA models out of pipe
cleaners and beads, and even extracting
actual DNA from a strawberry.
In general its nice to have a hands-
on, fun experience with science rather
than taking a test, said Sarah Stippich,
childrens librarian at Cobbs Creek Li-
brary.
The Science in the Summer pro-
gram, funded by GlaxoSmithKline,
has been going on for more than three
years at the Cobbs Creek branch,
Stippich said.
While the program is open to all
grade-school students, it specifically
encourages female students to sharp-
en their science skills, said Allathea
Joniec, program director for Philadel-
phia County.
Joniec said that programs like
Science in the Summer are vital for
helping kids retain what they learned
during the school year.
Anything we can do to hold the
line on the gains that kids have made
during the school year during the sum-
mer months is a very, very good thing,
Joniec said.
A strength of the program is its
funding from pharmaceutical company
GlaxoSmithKline, Joniec said, which al-
lows students and teachers to count on
topnotch supplies and curriculum.
I hear from some of the teachers
that in their own schools they dont have
this level of support, Joniec said.
The Science in the Summer pro-
gram is over for this year, but parents
and students are encouraged to watch
for registration dates starting in May
2012. Find out more information at
http://scienceinthesummer.com.

T
he oppressively hot days of
July are no match for Glo-
ria Turner and her garden.
When the temperature rises, she just
rises earlier in the morning to
water her flowers.
They need plenty of water,
just like people, Turner said,
Those are my little people that
dont talk back.
Turner, a co-block captain
in the 1200 block of 52nd Street,
works diligently to maintain a vi-
brant garden in a neighborhood
where she has shared leadership
with Dwight Byrd for the past 10
to 15 years.
As I tell all the children, the flow-
ers arent there just for you. Its there
for everybody to walk by and feel good
as they see the beauty, Turner said.
During her tenure as a block
captain, Turner said the culturally
diverse neighborhood has seen both
economic prosperity and more difficult
times. She said she believes it is her job
to keep the community informed, in-
volved, and connected.
I notice in a lot of neighborhoods,
people dont know each other, she
said, We try to know the children.
Turner is part of a larger cohort
of 15-20 block captains in Southwest
called the Kingsessing 5th Division
Community of Neighbors (K5DCN),
which meets regularly to discuss issues
that affect the community.

Maits is also well known in the
community as an active member of
the Friends of Mount Moriah Cem-
etery. As the chair of the Environmen-
tal Committee of the Friends board, he
has been in the forefront of recent ef-
forts to clean up the 160-year old his-
toric burial ground. The Friends said
they hope Mount Moriah can become
a major asset once again for both Phil-
adelphia and Delaware County, Maits
indicated.
In addition to researching the
early history of Pennsylvania and the
many events which were centered in
this area, he helps plan and conduct
cleanups of the Cobbs Creek Park ar-
eas and other community projects.
Maits is also vice president of the
Delaware Valley Association of Rail
