Before she closes her
eyes, Annie Hairston believes God will give her a
sign about who killed her
son.
“Before I go home, God
is going to reveal it,” says
Ms. Hairston, who suffers
from diabetes and a broken
heart.
On a warm late summer
night of June 23, 2007, Ms.
Hairston’s son, Bernard
Lee, 50, was shot and killed
after closing up a bar near
43rd & Lancaster Avenue
where he was the manager.
According to his family, police told them Lee
was confronted by three
men around 2:30 in the
morning. One of the men
pulled a gun and shot him
two times. His body was
found on the sidewalk with
his cell phone ringing.
At the time of the shooting, police told the family
that an unknown woman,
who has yet to come forward in this “cold case”,
accompanied Lee when he
exited the bar.
“Did anybody see anything that night?” Ms.
Hairston asked. She believes there were plenty of
witnesses outside the bar in
the on Lancaster Avenue
and Brown Street.
Even the owner of the
taproom has never contacted the family, Ms.
Hairston said.
The Westside Weekly
met with Ms. Hairston and
her daughter, Tamika Lee,
inside their West Philly
home. The family is trying
to revive a case that has
gone cold for police who
could find no willing witnesses or motive for this
murder.
This was an emotional
meeting with the mother and
sister who also wanted the
public to know the kind of
life Bernard Lee lived.
“When someone kills
someone they just not killing one person,” said the
sister. “Everybody has a
mother and they (the killers) don’t know about this
family... but we loved our
brother.”
Sister Tamika said Lee
served in the army in Korea
and worked for the school
district. When he died he
had one daughter and one
granddaughter. Today he has
a grandson who will only
know him through the pictures on Grandmom
Hairston’s wall.
“He was a people person,”
said the sister, “who liked nice
things. He wouldn’t drink out
of plastic cups.
“He loved his family,”
said Ms. Lee about the family of six siblings that grew
up in the Mill Creek section
of the neighborhood.
If anyone has any information about the murder of Bernard Lee, the
family is asking you to call
Homicide Det. Levi
Morton at 215-686-3334..
(Editor's Note: I hope
you understand that long
explanation. I didn't)
After the Westside
Weekly’s inquiry, TD Bank
refunded his bounce fees. The
bank also apologized to Rev.
Cousins for “the poor customer service you received.”
“Ever since TD took over
(from Commerce Bank), I
have been having all types
of problems.”
“I began to wonder,”
Rev. Cousins asked, “ how
many others have experience this with TD Bank.
How about others who have
no voice? Seniors who just
do not have the patience to
argue with the bank or someone who is disabled and cannot articulate their findings and
express their frustrations?”
For those who have experienced a similar or troubling
problem with TD Bank, Rev.
Cousins asks you to contact

racial boundaries by changing the way Hollywood presented black women and who

THE WESTSIDE WEEKLY
THE ANTI-CANCER
‘QUACK’ SALAD
Psart 1 of 2
By Yahimba Uhuru
[email protected]
PEACE AND GOOD
HEALTH TO EVERYONE!
This salad was created by
Dr. James Duke, head of the
USDA’s Germplasm Resource Laboratory in
Beltsville, Maryland, and revised by John Heinerman,
author of Heinerman’s New
Encyclopedia of Fruits and
Vegetables.
I have tried it and the ingredients it contains does not
surprise me that it is an anticancer salad. Use all organic
ingredients if possible.
You will need:
• 1 cup washed, unpeeled,
raw, grated red beet, handful
of unsalted, chopped walnuts,
• 3/4 cup of diced celery,
• 1 cup washed, snipped
endive,
• 1 medium to large
washed, unpeeled, and sliced
cucumber,
• 1/4 tsp. cumin,
• 1 tbsp. flaxseeds.
• 1 peeled, chopped garlic clove, pinch of cayenne
pepper,
• 1/2 peeled, chopped
white onion, handful of
shelled, chopped, peanuts or
pecans (not canned, salted,
or candied),
• 1/2 tsp. of sage, 2 medium-sized washed, and quartered ripe tomatoes.
Lightly toss everything
together until thoroughly
mixed. Make the dressing by
adding 1/4 tsp. kelp powder
and 1 finely minced garlic
clove and 2 1/2 cup of lemon
juice.
Mix well and pour over
salad.All the ingredients in
will live up to its name.
Make it and share with a
friend. Until next week, stay
healthy, stay wise, and share
the knowledge!
Much Love, Yahimba

Editor/Publisher
The Overbrook batter tips the
ball in front of the University City
catcher who scurries to pick it up and
toss it to the second baseman - who
throws it to the first baseman.
It’s a clean 1 - 6 - 3 put out. It was
like the famous Evers to Tinker to
Chance put outs.
A loud roar of approval erupts
from the U-City team.
And when the game ended with
U-City Lady Jaguars out clawing
the Overbrook Lady Panthers with a
13-7 victory in their softball contest,
the U-City girls staged a frenzy celebration.
They embraced each other. They
poured a thermos full of juice onto
their coaches. They flailed their
arms and screamed happily.
Did they make the playoffs? Did
they win their division? Did they
win the championship?
Well... No... The U-City girls
won their first game.
“It was a big win,” said U-City
coach Rebecca Moore, whose team
had lost its first seven games before
the Overbrook victory.
“They’re an amazing group,”
added Moore, a rookie coach. “They
continued to hang in there. They
worked together. They had to handle
losing seven straight games and yet,
they kept coming back.”
Yes, added the coach, these girls
showed perseverance - a quality embedded in their character that will ensure them success throughout their
lives.
“They didn’t give up,” said the
coach.
Indeed. This is what sports and
after-school activities do for our kids.
It’s not the winning that is important, but how these youngsters played
a game - that can bring out the best
and worst in an individual.
Not many people will remember
much about this Overbrook/U-City
game except those who were involved
in it. And for some, the seniors, this
may be the last time they will be
involved in any competitive sports.
Cherish the memories.
P.S. As predicted by the
Overbrook coach, his lady panthers did make the playoffs.

THE WESTSIDE WEEKLY
Help Us Get Out the Vote on May 18th
The May 18th Primary ballot will be full,
including races for Governor, U.S. Senate,
U.S Representatives, state senators, state
reps and state and city committee people.
“It can be a daunting thing walking into
a voting booth to see an endless list of
candidates you don’t recognize,” said Leah
Pillsbury, Director of Civic Programs at the
Committee of Seventy. “The only way to
vote quickly and smartly is to know what
you are doing when you go in there,” she
continued.
The Committee of Seventy is a nonpartisan organization conducting a permanent campaign for clean and efficient government, fair elections and informed citizens. See www.seventy.org for more info.
Seventy provides the following voter
resources leading up to and on Election Day:
* Polling Place Locator: Using Seventy’s
Online Citizen’s Guide at guide.seventy.org
voters can easily find their polling place and
political districts. The same information is
available over the phone at 1-866-268-8603.
* Election Day Hotline: By calling 1866-Our-Vote on Election Day, voters across
the state can report problems and have their
questions answered by trained, nonpartisan
volunteers.
* Ballot Questions: Philadelphia voters
will vote on four ballot questions.
Seventy especially urges voters to vote
“Yes” on ballot question #3 to abolish the
embattled Board of Revision of Taxes. Full
information about the four ballot questions
is available at www.seventy.org/
ballotquestions. All voters, regardless of affiliation are able to vote on ballot questions.
* Voter Protection Program: On Election Day, Committee of Seventy’s Voter
Protection Program puts trained
volunteers at the polling places
across the city on Election Day.
These volunteers are ready to
answer your questions about
Election policies and procedures, and
help direct your concerns to Team
Leaders and to our offices.
“The May 18th Primary Election is an important election for many
reasons. On the one hand we’ve got
high profile races at the state level
and on the other, neighbors running
against each other in each precinct
for committee person,” Pillsbury
observed. “Seventy’s goal is to make
sure every eligible voter is prepared
and can fairly cast their vote on
Election Day.”

Mercy Starts With Me
“ Mercy Philadelphia
saved my leg.”
I had a small cut on my foot that I couldn’t feel because
of numbness in my feet from my diabetes.
I kept on walking and that little sore led to a full-blown
infection. It set into my toes and they had to be removed.
I was told the infection had spread and I would lose
my leg from the knee down. I was terribly depressed
and couldn’t imagine a quality life. Then my doctor
recommended the Center for Wound Healing and
Hyperbaric Medicine at Mercy Philadelphia Hospital.
It changed my life!
At Mercy Philadelphia, I underwent hyperbaric oxygen
therapy. The staff explained that the pressurized chamber
speeds up the healing process. They also assured me
that if I did my part in monitoring my diabetes, that I
would have a strong chance to save my leg.
I’m happy to report that my leg was saved! I made the
right choice in Mercy Philadelphia Hospital.

Heidi Banks, daughter of Barbara Banks-Williams and
Walter Williams; and Dwayne Broxton, son of Andrew and
Hazel Broxton will unite in Holy Matrimony on June 5, 2010,
1pm at the United Methodist Church of Bala Cynwyd.
It is truly a West Philadelphia love story when you speak
about Dwayne and Heidi.
Two natives of West Philadelphia went to the same grade
school, Samuel B. Huey Elementary school; little did they
know that they would one day come together as man and wife.
The two met in a local West Philadelphia church and became
great friends.
Besides their love for Christ, they share a love for people,
ministry, and the game of basketball which Heidi developed
from her brother, Eugene L. Banks, Jr.
Gloria Manning:
Mother of the Year 2010
By: Mary Ann Pinkney
The
word
“mother” appears
in the Bible 300
times.
And, Gloria
Manning is a
Christian woman
who is Mother of
the Year 2010 at
New Spirit Community Presbyterian Church, 58th
and Chester Ave.
Ms. Manning
is richly blessed with three successful adult
children and nine grandchildren. She did an
excellent job raising her children – one is a
doctor, one did research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and one goes to school to
be a registered nurse.
A widow, she is a retired
residential counselor for mental health.
“I have been blessed,”
said Ms. Manning. “God gave
me a wonderful husband and
called him home early. I have
three children I am proud of.
My grandchildren are a lifesaver. I love serving the Lord.
He has blessed my family
and me. I am happy serving
Him and I love my church.”
Her advice for mothers is
“spend time with your children. Listen to what they are
saying. Always check the
Internet. Start them with Sunday school at an early age.”
Congratulations, Gloria
Manning; may you have
many more years of marvelous motherhood.

Phillies Playin’ Charlie Ball, Fans Warming Up To A Winner
Charlie’s Law
Manager Charlie Manuel
talked about his team and
when they’re playing good
baseball. “I’ve always been
one of those guys who managed in the minor leagues,”
said Manuel, “If I can beat
you by 20- 30 runs, I’m gonna
do it. And if you can beat me,
go right ahead. You either
play hard or you’ll die. And
also, I always tell my guys on
this ball club that the fans
come here and they want to
see us play. ”
Adding to his premise of
playing good baseball,
Manuel stated that, “when
you’re hitting the ball and
scoring runs, you’ll play better defense, catch the ball,
you got more zip in your step
and bigger smiles. Everything

Serving Philadelphia County since 2004
By Jim Brown
Finally, the Philadelphia
Phillies have it and the fans
are happy about it.
It is a winner’s attitude.
Watching this year’s Phillies,
one has to believe this team
will be winning for the next
couple of years. Amid all of
the crazy press and things
people want to say about our
sports town, people know a
winner when they see one.
But as you know in Philly,
we always seem to have a
couple of rotten eggs that will
try to spoil a good thing.
Hence, the national press stories of the tasering of a fan by
Philly’s finest and next night
the chanting by fans to have
another fan tased for his copycat stupidity for running onto
the field during the game at
Citizens Bank Park.
One Happy Place In Philly
With one World Championship and two World Series appearances recently, the
expectation of winning has
spread throughout the city.
It’s making going to a Phillies
game a social event. Fans are
flocking to the stadium like
they’re going to watch a rock
concert and the atmosphere
inside the ballpark feels just
like it. They’re having record
setting attendance and the joy
of watching this team is becoming contagious.
The truth of the matter is
that the Philadelphia Phillies
and their fans have “One
Happy Place” when they
come to the ballpark and enjoy supporting a winner.
Just take for example the
team’s play and fighting spirit
to play hard for their fans and
years ago things were being
talked about our ups and
about the game is bigger and
downs. Now, they’re talking

THE WESTSIDE WEEKLY
This year, Bishop faces a
challenge from Will Mega, a
Wynnefield native whose initial claim to fame is as a contestant on the original 2000
season of the Big Brother reality television show. Mega
got his start in politics as a
volunteer for U.S. Congressman Chaka Fattah and State
Senator Vincent Hughes.
During the 2004 presidential
campaign, he co-founded the
National Political Hip Hop
Convention and partnered
with hip hop mogul P. Ditty

college students in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. More
recently, Mega served as the
campaign manager for
Kenyatta Johnson in his successful 2008 campaign
against veteran legislator
Harold James, a victory he
hopes to replicate in the

With the help from a
number of community leaders, State Rep. Vanessa
Lowery Brown helped give
away some 600 prom dresses
last Tuesday/Wednesday at
Greater Bibleway Temple,
1461 N. 52nd St.,
“In these tough economic times, a prom dress
may be a luxury that is difficult to afford,” said Lowery
Brown, D-Phila. “I want to
make sure young ladies from
the 190th Legislative District
and surrounding areas have
wonderful dresses for the
prom.”
Lowery Brown thanked
the New Jersey Social Workers Association, which donated the dresses.

THE WESTSIDE WEEKLY
D E M O C R A T
Think
The Box
Dear Friend,
I’m Anthony Williams and I’m running for governor because Harrisburg is out of sync and our families are paying the price with
high unemployment, underperforming schools, runaway crime, and crushing property taxes.
As a businessman, I’ve balanced the books and created new jobs. In the State House and State Senate, I’ve been an
independent voice and stood up to my own party when the issues demanded it. I’ve used new ideas to create economic and
educational opportunities, and I have a plan that works to get even more illegal guns off our streets, and the results to prove it.
As Governor, I’ll use innovative solutions to get our economy back on track, and create and retain the jobs of tomorrow. I’ll pay
good teachers more, hold bad ones accountable and cut property taxes. On Tuesday, May 18, when you check the box for
governor, vote for a leader who’s spent a career thinking outside of it. I would be honored to have your vote.
Sincerely,
Protecting Families and Police From Gun Violence
✔ Created Pennsylvania’s Gun
Violence Task Force that’s so
successful it’s taken thousands of
illegal guns off our streets.
✔ Allow local governments to
strengthen gun laws.
Defending a Woman’s Right to Choose
✔ Supports an adult woman’s
unrestricted right to choose what
happens to her body.
✔ Backs state funding for comprehensive
family planning services.
A Real Plan to Put Pennsylvania Back to Work
✔ Focus job training money on putting
people back to work by allowing
employers to apply for job training
dollars already in the state budget.
✔ Provide “start-up” resources for new business
ventures – low rents, low interest loans, and
affordable benefits to fuel our economy.
VOTE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ON TUESDAY, MAY 18
