Happy Father’s Day!
Contrary to popular belief,
there are so many great dads
in our communities. On
our cover, we are proud to
showcase just a few of them
from our neighborhoods.
I’m a daddy’s girl and I stay
amazed at the wonder of my
father who, every single day,
demonstrates what it truly is
to be a great father and a real
man. I love him so much!
This edition also highlights
graduates and academic
achievers. Congratulations to
all of the scholars who have
reached a milestone. Nothing
beats education.
Next month, we will
continue to accept graduation
photos and captions. So, send
them in!
You must take this edition to
a quiet place to relax and take
your time reading every page.
Keep reading the Woodlawn
Villager. We have so much
more to share.
Untl next edition, stay blessed!
Thank you for your support

by Chuck Brooks, Sr. Pastor
Graceway Church
Calling All Fathers
We are living in a time
where it is increasingly
more difficult to find a
good role model of a father.
Hollywood creates both
good and bad depictions
of fatherhood. Some are
negative figments of the
imagination of some scriptwriter who was dogged and
dissed by his dad. Others
are the hopes and dreams of
a producer who is willing
to paint a positive picture of
fatherhood. I grew up in a
home where it was difficult
to find a positive example
of a father, let alone an
example one that honored
Jesus Christ. But I write
to tell you that my Heavenly Father was there for
me. Psalm 10 says, “But
you, O God, do see trouble
and grief; you consider
it to take it in hand. The
victim commits himself to
you; you are the helper of
the fatherless.” Our view
of our Heavenly Father is
drastically affected by our
experiences with our earthly
fathers. If our early father
was unreasonable and over
demanding, we assume our
Heavenly Father is difficult
to deal with. If our earthly
father was distant, we have
a view of God who is unconcerned, unattached and
far-removed from our lives.
And if you had a father that
told you or made you feel
you were no good, you will
assume that God will never
be pleased with you. I need
to let you know that if you
had a father who wasn’t
“fatherly”, God has not left
you without an example of
fatherhood; for He Himself
is our example. He is the
prototype. He is the arche-
June 2012 Celebrating the “Wonders” of Our Community
type, the epitome, the embodiment, and the quintessence of fatherhood. He is
the perfect example of what
a father should be. Psalm
103 describes the fatherhood of God. If you want
to learn to become a better
father, study this psalm.
David writes, “Praise the
LORD, O my soul; all my
inmost being, praise his
holy name. Praise the
LORD, O my soul, and
forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from
the pit and crowns you with
love and compassion, who
satisfies your desires with
good things so that your
youth is renewed like the eagle's.” One thing we learn
about God from this psalm
is that He forgives our sins.
David goes on to say that
God heals all our diseases—
these are not necessary our
physical infirmities but the
afflictions of our spirit and
soul. We then learn that God
redeems us from destruction—the enemy comes but
to steal, kill and destroy, but
Jesus comes to give us life
and that more abundantly
(John 10:10) David also
says that God is worthy of
praise because He satisfies our desires with good
things. Psalm 103 begins
triumphantly declaring that
God is a Father who is totally involved in the lives of
His children. Many fathers
mistakenly think that if they
provide a roof over the head
of their children and food
on the table, they have done
their job. A person is more
than the body he or she
lives in. Your child is made
up of spirit, soul and body.
It is not enough to provide
for your child’s physical
needs and neglect the needs
of their soul (mind, will
and emotions). It is equally
neglectful to provide for
the emotional needs of your
children while ignoring
their spiritual needs. We
have some fathers who are
“on fire” when it comes to
their child’s physical needs.
They register their children
for little league football and
basketball and while their
child excels physically, they
are emotionally challenged.
Other men make it their life
goal to get their children
educated and while they
enroll them in the finest
schools, their children are
ignorant when it comes to
the wisdom of God found in
His Word. God as Heavenly
Father meets all of His children’s needs. God wants to
make His ways known to
the children of our day and
He is looking for men who
would dare to be godly fathers and do God’s business.

Summer Reading
Program
By Debbie Bastacky
“Dream Big –
Read!” is the theme of this
year’s summer reading
program which officially
begins on June 11. We
will be hosting a related
magic show featuring one
of our favorite magicians,
Mike Rose, on Wednesday, June 20 at 2:00 p.m.
Mike will perform some
awesome illusions in his
show entitled “Dreams,
Schemes and Magic
Things!” It will consist of
impossible magic tricks,
weird mind reading stunts
and off-the-wall comedy –
all themed around dreams
and nighttime activities.
All families are welcome
– no registration is necessary.
Interested customers
of any age can participate
in summer reading, meaning newborns through
adults! To register, come
to the library at ANY
time during our regular
hours between June 11
and August 11. You can
Page 6
sign up here, on any library
computer or you can sign
up from your computer at
home by going to www.
bcpl.info. When you get
to the library, look for the
desk staffed by our volunteer middle school students.
A volunteer will give you a
packet explaining how the
program works. The packet
has fun reading activities
appropriate for each “age
group.” For every four activities completed, the child
gets one sticker. Once he/
she has four stickers, he/she
will be awarded a special
prize. A new craft project
will be introduced every
two weeks: a Scratch Owl,
a Slap bracelet, an Outer
Space Scene and a Dream
Accordion.
“Own the Night”, the
program for grades 6 and
up, works a little differently. For every three
books that a student reads,
he/she will get an entry
form for a raffle. We are
raffling off eight prizes
in eight separate raffles;
therefore the student can
select which raffle to enter,
depending on which prize
they’d prefer to win. Prizes
include gift cards (Anime, Best Buy, Barnes and
Noble and AMC Theater),
an iPod shuffle, and a Hunger Games book bundle for

every branch. There is a
GRAND prize of an iPod
touch and a Kindle Fire
but the odds of winning
are a little less because
there is only one of each
for the entire BCPL system. As long as a student
reads the required number
of books, he can have as
many entry forms as he
earns. You will have until
August 24 to turn in your
entries. The drawings
will take place shortly
after this deadline and
winners will be contacted
either late August or early
September. Winners must
pick up their prizes by
September 15.

the endearing term used for
a strong man of character,

them all in June- Happy
Father’s Day. The old quote
says, “Anyone can be a
father, but it takes a real man
to be a dad”. If you have
someone in your life now, or
had someone who fits these
descriptions, then consider
yourself blessed. I adored
my father and the spoils of
being his “little girl”. No
matter what age we become
our parents are just that and
we are there children. So it
flows from one generation to
another.
Being a dad means all the
wonderful times of playing
catch or board games. Of
going to games, fishing or
lifting us up high upon their
shoulders (mothers are too
smart to do ever try thislol). Or maybe you remember how hard your dad had
to work to make sure his
family was properly taken
care of. Sacrifices were accomplished out of love and
there were minimal complaints, except wishing for
more time spent with him.

of six, getting my new PF

was it I always managed to
win? A good dad makes
us feel safe, loved and able
to accomplish anything. He
offers words of encouragement when times get rough
or a whisper of disappointment when we failed because we did not heed his
advice. But, at the end of
the day, our dad’s offered
forgiveness and another
chance to hug them and get
that feeling of young innocence once again.
So, to all the dads past,
present and future, I hope
you remember being a

A Treasured
Recipe From My
Dad
My dad had lived for many
years as a single man while
in art school in Germany
and before he met Mom.
Strange, thing, as soon s he
was married, as most men
of his generation, he forgot
how to cook, mend, and
clean. The one exception
was on some Sunday’s
when buckwheat pancakes
would be on the morning
menu.
I think the recipe was
originally his mother’s or
his aunt Alice’s. I still have
the yellowed, much-used
June 2012 Celebrating the “Wonders” of Our Community
copy of the recipe he gave
me (with his “cure” for damp
basements on the other side).
Written in his meticulous
penmanship, the penciled
words are slowly fading,
but the treasured memories
remain vivid.
Dad’s Yeast Risen
Pancakes
The night before, scald
2 cups of milk and allow
to cool. Add one package
of active, dry yeast, a few
good pinches of sugar.
Mix well. Add one cup
of flour and 1 1/3 cups
of buckwheat flour. Mix
thoroughly. Cover and
refrigerate overnight.
Next morning, about an
hour before breakfast, stir
in 1 Tablespoon molasses
or brown sugar in some
lukewarm water. Add
1-teaspoon baking soda
dissolved in ¼ cup warm
water. Mix well. Then
add ¼ cup melted butter.
Mix and let rise about 30
minutes. You can add a
little water if the mix is
too thick.
Cook on a griddle as you
would other pancakes.
Serve with warm maple
syrup.

Story from Baltimore County
Press Release
Dr. Freeman Hrabowski,
III was the keynote speaker on April 26, 2012
at the Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber 65th
Anniversary Luncheon.
Harbowski, President of
the Unversty of Maryland Baltimore County
(UMBC), spoke on the
topic, “Education And Innovation”
In his address, Dr.
Hrabowski made the
following observations
and comments: Typically
students with the highest
SAT scores when entering
College start out in science
& technology but graduate
as lawyers. Their average
academic experiences with
entry level science or math
courses leaves a shortage
and physical interaction in
the classroom. Every child
can achieve. Hrabowski said,
“There’s no place where
there’s more capacity in the
world than in America.”
In the 1960’s, only 10%
of Americans had a college
degree. Today only 30 % of
Americans have a degree. In
the eighties the United States
lead the world in college
educated adults between the
ages of 25 and 34. Today
Canada leads the world with
60% of their students. The
United States is ranked 12th
among developed countries
in the world. Of the 30% of
of potential Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math (STEM). Science
and engineering affects all
of the areas where there
will be an abundance of
employment opportunities in the future (Energy,
Healthcare and Technology).
He pointed out that
today’s students are multitaskers; they need mental
Americans who have degrees
32% are white, 11% are
African American. Students
must learn to believe in
themselves and believe in
their country, During the depression, President Franklin
D. Rosevelt never gave up
on the belief that America
would overcome and rise out
of the Depression. With that
belief America truly did rise
again.

Homegoing
Celebration for
Agnes I. Gardner
Agnes Gardner, born
February 13, 1947, passed
away on May 11, 2012
after a lengthy illness. Agnes earned an A.A. degree
in Computer Programming
from Coppin State University. Agnes worked for the
Food and Drug Administration over 20 years. She
retired from federal service
in 2000. Whenever Agnes
was in the room, you knew
it because she had that
big vivacious smile. She
was very sociable, outgoing, fashionable and an
excellent decorator. Agnes
could give the simplest
outfit character with her
choice of accessories. She
was classy and a Fashionesta! Walking into her
apartment was like walking
into a decorative mansion.
Agnes was a former member of John Wesley United
Methodist Church, but
later transferred her membership to United Methodist A.M.E. Church. Unlike
her life, a quiet memorial
service was held there on
Friday, May 18, 2012,
Agnes would have been
pleased. Agnes leaves to
cherish her memory, two
sons, Kevin and Korey
Gardner, sister Rhamanda
(Chris) Smith, daughterin-law Shantee Booth, 8
grandchildren Asia, Jaylyn, Sydea, Khalil, Koryn,
Kyree, Kaiori and Korey,
Jr., a special friend Aubrey
and a host of loving relatives and friends.

Hey, Neighbor!
We’re Right Around the Corner
Did you know that you and members of your immediate family* could be eligible
to join Securityplus FCU?
Whatʼs a Credit Union?
A credit union is a member-owned financial institution that provides the same
products and services as a bank. When you join Securityplus FCU, you can
immediately take full advantage of all the financial benefits offered by the
Credit Union.
THE FINANCIAL SERVICES YOU NEED
Direct Deposit of employer paychecks,
Share Savings** Account
Social Security checks and retirement benefit
checks; never wait in a teller line on payday
A $5.00 initial deposit and a $2.00 membership fee
makes you a member of the Credit Union for life
Visa Credit Card — low, competitive rates;
no annual fee; no balance transfer fee
FREE Standard Checking Account
No minimum balance requirement; no monthly
service charge; unlimited check writing
New/Used Auto Loans — low rate financing
plans for every budget; refinance an existing
high-rate loan obtained somewhere else
Because we are able to keep fees low, Credit Union members nationwide could
save about $150 a year using a credit union instead of a bank.
Visit our Woodlawn branch, located at 1514 Woodlawn Drive or our Franklin branch,
located at 11700-E Reisterstown Road, contact our Call Center at 410-965-8908 or
visit our website, www.securityplusfcu.org, for eligibility requirements.
*Your immediate family includes brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren (including in-laws and
step-family members) and anyone who lives in your household. **Savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 and
backed by the full faith and credit of the National Credit Union Administration, a U.S. Government Agency.
