Sunday in November 1969, the congregation under
the leadership of
rev. J. W. Anthony,
marched down
federal Street from
Mount Hebron
Baptist Church to
our new Church
home. Solid Rock
Baptist Church.
Even though rain
was falling on that
day, it was a joyous occasion. Rev.
J. W. Anthony
served as our pastor until 1975. In
October 1976,
Rev. John E. MerPastor Henry Busby and his wife,
cer was installed
as pastor until Oc- First Lady Deborah Busby of
tober 1996 when Solid Rock Baptist Church
his health began to
fail him.
It was at this point in the history of Solid Rock that
Rev. Henry Busby came to be the Shepherd of the
Church. Rev. Henry Busby was raised under the pastorship of rev. John E. Mercer. He was ordained as a Deacon, and under this charge, God later used him in all
areas of the ministry. As time passed, rev. Mercer ordained Rev. Busby as a preacher of the unadulterated
word of God, and he became the Assistant Pastor of
Solid Rock Baptist Church. Not long after that, Rev.
Busby was called to the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist
Church in new Jersey where he pastured fort four and a
half years. In the later part of 1995, Rev. Busby’s pastor,
Rev. John E. Mercer, decided to retire and Rev. Busby,
still inkling his ear to the Lord’s call, came back to pastor the Solid Rock Baptist Church. He has been and still
is a great God-sent Blessing to Solid Rock Baptist
Church and he has done excellent work through his foresight and wisdom from God.
Solid Rock is where we keep the fire burning for our
Lord and Saviour. It is a place of love and hope and
strong Christian beliefs. Solid Rock Baptist Church is a
house of worship where you can come and get your
praise on. Come as you are. Just come. As Solid Rock
Baptist Church observes its 48th anniversary Sunday,
May 5th, join us. All are welcome.

>>>Opinion Editorial<<<
Viewing youth violence from a
public health perspective
Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder
(PTSD) is most
readily associated
with the various
symptoms suffered
by war veterans
when they return
from combat. Prolonged exposures
to “hostile” environments, coupled
with experiencing,
witnessing and
perpetrating violent acts, are often
the causes of the traumas that lead to PTSD —
but what if our soldiers aren’t the only ones at risk?
Every day in Pennsylvania, there are children who
wake up to living conditions that are less than desirable.
Perhaps they live in a house where domestic turmoil is
prevalent, or maybe their exposures to criminal and violent acts occur outside of the home; but the fact remains, if any of the aforementioned conditions are true,
for any child, there is a very real possibility of the child,
much like the soldier, developing various symptoms as
a result of the trauma — PTSD.
The physical and mental well-being of Pennsylvania’s youth are important issues within themselves, but
I believe that the physical and mental health of our
youth, or lack thereof, should be of concern to the citizens of the Commonwealth for a secondary reason as
well — childhood trauma can lead to youth violence,
which is a gateway into a violent, criminal adulthood.
Many urban cities around the globe can be characterized as war zones — a fitting title for a city like
Philadelphia that sees hundreds of homicides annually
— and there is much continuity between urban war
zones and actual, declared war zones. One striking similarity is the fact that children who are witnesses or victims of violent crimes, and who do not receive positive
intervention, are more likely to commit minor and
major crimes in their youth, as well as when they reach
adulthood.
While the exact correlation is unknown, many be-

Solid Rock Baptist
Church is a very special
church. It is not a mega
church, bragging of
5,000 members. It is
not a church in the
news every month. It is
a church is some 300
strong members with
families whose ties go
back to the very beginning of the church,
founded almost fifty
years ago. Solid Rock
Baptist church is turning 48 year sold this week
and we’re celebrating with a revival all week
long, concluding with two major services on
Sunday, May 5th at 1836 Federal Street in South
Philadelphia. Founded in 1965, the church has been a
viable source of Christian Fellowship & Outreach Ministry in the Tri-State area for many years. Pastor Henry
Busby describes Solid Rock as a congregation working
in harmony toward a shared purpose and vision.
On May 5, 2013 there will be two services. The first
service will start at 10:30am, where Pastor Henry Busby
will be preaching. The afternoon service starts at 3:30pm
and Rev. Harry Bronson of Rising Sun Baptist Church
will be the guest preacher.
Sunday, May 5, 2013 all roads lead to “The Rock”.
Come and help us celebrate the history and heritage of
Solid Rock Baptist Church. Most of all, come and join
us in rejoicing and thanking God for allowing us to remain a witness in our Community for 48 years!
In between services on May 5th, dinner will be served
in the Fellowship Hall of Solid Rock between 2:15pm3:15pm.
As we look back at the history of Solid Rock Baptist
Church, what we know is that the first service of the
church was held on Sunday, May 2, 1965 at the Colathians Hall at 20th a d Montrose Streets in South Philadelphia. On the first Sunday in July 1965, the
pastor/founder of Solid Rock, Rev. J. W. Anthony and
the congregation met at the corner of 18th and Morris
Streets. From there they marched one block to 18th and
Tasker Streets to the church of the Evangel. Solid Rock
Baptist Church moved into the annex building of the
Mount Hebron Church, located at 1417 Wharton Street
on Friday evening, July 11, 1965. Solid Rock was presented to the Churches of the Pennsylvania Baptist Convention Association in a service recognition at the New
Light Beulah Baptist Church where Rev. Taylor C. Killebrew, D.D. was Pastor. On May 11, 1966, a cash payment of $2,510.43 was paid for the properties at 1`836,
1838 and 1840 Federal Street. Groundbreaking services
were held on Saturday, August 31, 1968. On the first

lieve that trauma, when it is not dealt with properly,
can lead to bottled up aggression that can cause a
young person to behave in an uncontrolled manner
when tension boils over.
For this reason, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives recently adopted a resolution that I introduced, House Resolution 191(H.R. 191), which
declares youth violence as a public health epidemic and
calls for the establishment of statewide trauma-informed education to help treat our Pennsylvania children who suffer from PTSD or other, related disorders.
H.R. 191 was adopted by the House by a 187-9 margin and is another victory in what has been a long battle to establish new ways of viewing the causes of
youth violence.
In 1985, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop,
declared violence to be a public health issue, and in the
year 2000, former Surgeon General David Satcher released a report declaring youth violence as a threat to
public health and called for federal, state, local and private entities to invest in research to inform intervention
programs.
There is no denying that intervention is needed.
In a 2011 survey of high school students under 18,
the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC) found that 16 percent of male students and
7.8 percent of female students reported being in a physical fight on school property in the 12 months preceding the survey; 5.9 percent did not go to school on one
or more days in the 30 days preceding the survey because they felt unsafe at school or on their way to or
from school; 5.4 percent reported carrying a weapon
(gun, knife or club) on school property on one or more
days in the 30 days preceding the survey and 20.1 percent reported being bullied on school property in the 12
months preceding the survey.
Another NCIPC report states that youth younger than
18 accounted for 13.7 percent of all violent crime arrests, 22.5 percent of all property crime arrests, and
that 784 youth under 18 were arrested for murder,
2,198 for forcible rape, and 35,001 for aggravated assault in 2010.
Up until now, our society has dealt with the issue of
youth violence primarily by taking punitive actions —

A child without dreams
ChildWatch
marian wright edelman
Every day four
children in America are killed by
abuse or neglect.
More than
750,000 children
are abused or neglected each year.
Even when children survive or
after physical
scars heal, the emotional damage left
by child abuse and neglect can last a
lifetime just as the post traumatic stress
left by gun violence leaves deep scars
in countless children.
Joseph Miles has essentially been on
his own since he was 13 years old—the year his mother
tried to kill him. Until then, he would say, he cried for
love. After that he gave up on hoping ever to find it.
Today Joseph is in his forties and has been incarcerated
since he was 28. When he came to prison he couldn’t
read or write. It was only recently that Joseph realized
he missed out on something crucial besides love in early
childhood: he didn’t even know he should have had
dreams until it was much too late. Listen to Joseph’s
words:
“I never had dreams as a child, a teenager, or as a
young adult. Until 2010, I had never sat in a room and
heard people talk about their dreams for the future.
I did not come from a loving, nurturing family.
‘Motherf***er, you little ugly mother***er.’ I could go
on telling you how I was spoken to as a child but the
words will remain the same.
There was no one in my life who could have talked to
me about dreaming about my future. As I got older, my
inner pains turned to anger and that anger turned to
rage.
In 2006, I got serious about education and just before
I got my GED in 2008, I started dreaming about my future—at the age of 41. That was the first time I had
ever had a dream about my future.
In 2010, I was part of an undergraduate Inside Out
college class . . . This class had seven young students
from Vanderbilt University, two from American Baptist
College (an African American college), and ten inmates.
Let that Cracked Bell Ring
“Mumia” comes to Philly
After hard and insistent lobbying, our distributor has booked
Mumia: Long Distance
Revolutionary in
Philadelphia…And at a
major national chain no
less – the Landmark
Ritz at the Bourse right
in the heart of downtown Philly. Opening
weekend is this weekend (May 3, 4 & 5. )
As you already know
full well, this is the
most vital and crucial
city for Mumia AbuJamal's story to show
on the big screen – here
where the hate is fierce
Mumia Abu Jamal
but where the love is radiant.
In a city where the establishment has vilified and dehumanized Mumia, this film graphically shows the heart,
soul and deep humanity of one of our greatest writers,
thinkers, and great warriors for justice. We cannot overstate the importance of generating a HUGE turnout for
this film in Philadelphia. We mean SOLD OUT shows.
People lining the streets to get into the film.
Make no mistake about it – the establishment in the socalled City of Brotherly Love will try desperately to get
this film cancelled from the Landmark Ritz. So let's leave
them no choice. And let's show Philadelphia the LOVE
we have for their Native Son, one of the brightest lights
the city has ever produced.
The Landmark Ritz has five theaters ranging in size
from 122 to 200 seats. The bigger the opening weekend –
May 3, 4, 5 – the greater likelihood the film will get a
second week...even a third. The longer “Mumia” plays in
Philadelphia, the more we can CHANGE THE CONVERSATION about the man Dick Gregory calls “the
voice of America."
Encourage folks from all corners of the country &
planet who love justice and truly care about shining a
light on Mumia's struggle to buy and donate tickets
NOW to pack the house on Opening Weekend. If you
haven't seen it yet, watch the powerful trailer for Long
Distance Revolutionary and share it with your community to get them excited and get them motivated.

We referred to ourselves as insiders and outsiders.
This day our opening circle was to tell the class what
you dreamed of being when you grew up. The first person spoke and, always going to the left, the next person
spoke, and so on. It got to me and I had to tell the class
that I never had a dream of becoming anything in my
life. My childhood was spent wanting my parents to
love me, crying because I was hungry, or crying because
one of them had hurt me and my feelings. At the age of
13 my mother tried to beat me to death. Those years
were spent learning how to fight so I would never have
to endure another beating like that by anyone.
Dream? I could not dream; my pain had turned to
anger, and in my twenties that anger turned to rage. I
could not dream because I chased death. Knowing what
I know today, the only reason I did not die is because
God would not let death take me.
That class was the first time in my life I had ever been
around people talking about what they dreamed would
happen for them in life. What they wanted to do when
they were done with school. I lived each day of life surviving. Dream? How could a human being like me
dream when no one ever trained me how to use my
mind to think? I was so impressed with these young
people from the outside and the dreams they had for
their future.
Even though I had that first dream in 2008, I like to
think these young people gave me permission to dream.
After our class was over that night and the outsiders
were gone, I lay in that cell and went to that place I always tried to stay away from since being introduced to
education: the place of what if. What if someone
would have helped me with education when I was
young? What if I would have known how to think and
dream? What if I could have experienced the love that
was so obvious in those young people’s conversation?
The love from family and friends that allowed them to
dream. What if I had a dream? ‘What if’ is a painful
place to be!
Today, in 2013, at the age of 45, I dream. I dream of
telling young people about the dreams I never had and
why it’s important for them to dream. And hopefully I
SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, May 3, 2013 -

can keep them away from that place called ‘what if.’
Today I do wish someone would have taught that
child, that teenager, that young man in his twenties to
dream. Who knows? Maybe my life would have been
different.
Dreams! So important for the future of our children.
I know this from experience. Now I dream.”
How many millions of children who were hurt or neglected themselves grow up hopeless, hate-filled, and
continue the cycle of hurting others? No child deserves
to grow up feeling hated and abandoned instead of safe,
cared for, and loved. And all children deserve to be allowed and encouraged to dream by the adults around
them in their homes, schools, and communities. Dr.
Benjamin E. Mays, the great president of Morehouse
College and mentor to me and thousands of Black college students, told us: “It must be borne in mind that the
tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.
The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a
calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a
calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable
to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal
to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but
it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure,
but low aim is sin.”
Every child needs a dream. Dr. King had a dream and
our nation has a dream we must continue to struggle to
honor for every child and adult in America during this
month dedicated to preventing child abuse and every
month going forth.

Happiness is an inside job
junious r. stanton
“Happiness is perfume; you can’t pour it
on somebody else
without getting a few
drops on yourself.”
James van Der Zee
photographer extraordinaire
The other day I can
across a post on a
Website I frequent that
shared an article from
another Website
http://
intellihub.com/2013/
04/28/the-top-5-regrets-of-the-dying/ entitled
The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.
I read the list and said to myself this is a sad commentary on modern living. The regret list is as follows:
I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself,
not the life others expected of me. I wish I hadn’t
worked so hard. I wish I’d had the courage to express
my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my
friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier. ibid
Most of us don’t like to contemplate our own physical demise but imagine being on your death bed, thinking about and reviewing your life and you find yourself
in an abysmal state of regret wishing you had lived a
life of integrity to what you wanted to be, that you actually became who you wanted to be, you wished you had
played more , enjoyed your family more, wished you
had had the courage to reject what you didn't want, that
you remained in contact with dear friends and that you
had allowed yourself to be happy?
Reflect on this for a moment, imagine yourself on
your death bed, near the end of your existence in this
dimension. Do you want to be filled with regret? Is this
what you want for yourself? Is this the reality you want
to experience? You don’t have to go out like that. Come
back to “reality”. It’s not too late to alter your life and
enjoy living.
Philosopher and mystic Ralph Waldo Emerson said
“Most people live lives of quiet desperation.” By that
he meant many of us go about our daily routines alienated from our true (higher) selves; we expand energy
on endeavors we are not really interested or invested in
and we’re deeply dissatisfied with our lives. The resulting frustration is a pall on our spirit which leads to depression, anger and resentment at ourselves and our
lives. We either hold this frustration inside so it festers
and makes us ill (implosion) or we take it out on others
(explosion)!
There is another option,transmutation. We are ignorant of our own power; the power we have to alter our
attitudes, beliefs and our actions and this ignorance
keeps is in the ruts we are in. The good news is we can
change! True change begins within. The old adage says,
if you want something you've never had before you
have to think and do something you've never done before.
You have the power to change your thoughts, your
attitudes and perspective on life and yourself. Energy
follows thought. Changing your thoughts alters the vibratory levels you emanate and attract. It’s like you are
a living transmitter/receiver, your thoughts are energy
they attract and they repel. As you think and add emo-

tional energy to your thoughts (either love or dread) the
law of attraction goes to work to bring into your life
equal and like vibrations (people, resources and circumstances) that eventually form the events of your
life.
The powers that be, the elites who run the world want
to keep us ignorant of our creative/transformative powers. If we knew who and what we really are, their days
of rapine and exploitation would be numbered. The
United States is a global empire, it promotes values and
a narrative designed to keep us in an imperialistic
mode, ignorant of the true meaning of life and caught
up in a deliberately illusionary Matrix that promotes
death, murder, greed, mindless and psychopathy. No
wonder people are so depressed and out of it.
This “culture” promotes dysfunction and we are encouraged to imitate the maladaptive, hedonistic and
decadent behavior we see in the media. The medical
and pharmaceutical industries collude to keep us anesthetized and medicated to the point we are becoming
actual Zombies and automatons programmed by the
elites who control the government, who own the media,
the alcohol, drug and prison industries to be less than
our divinely created and ordained selves. Their goal is
to destroy our minds and thus keep us chained to ignorance, purposeless so we become dispirited divine beings.
We are better than that and we deserve better. We
have the power to be happy. Happiness is not tied to a
bank account, your possessions or worldly status. All
those things are temporary and transitory. The song said
“don’t worry, be happy”. Worry is an insidious
mental/emotional state that drains our energy and sends
vibrations into the ether attracting what we fear. As Job
said when he heard about the loss of his crops, his
flocks and the death of his family, “That which I greatly
feared has come upon me, that which I dreaded has
come to pass.” The law of attraction works both ways
in Job’s case it worked for ill. The positive formula is:
“If you have confidence the size of a mustard seed…
nothing shall be impossible for you.”
No one escapes the vicissitudes of life; what William
Shakespeare called “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”. But in the midst of our trials and tests
we can still be happy. Happiness is an inside job irrespective of outer circumstances. Expect to be successful even in the face of failure and disappointment;
expect things to turn out in your favor. Smile on the inside, laugh at your mistakes and enjoy life even in the
darkest hour knowing the dawn is coming that the sun
never disappoints us. Be happy, live your life so you
are fulfilled and purposeful. That way when it’s your
turn to transit this dimension you’ll have no regrets.

Diamond is the jewel for the month of April
The world’s first known reference to the diamond
comes from a Sanskrit manuscript written during the
Mauryan Dynasty, around 321 BC to 185 BC. Cupid’s
arrow was supposedly tipped in diamonds having a magical effect of no equal. The ancient Greeks and Romans
believed diamonds to be tears of the gods and the splinters from stars. A home or garden touched in each corner
with a diamond was supposed to be protected from blight,
lightening and storms. A diamond sent in gold and worn
on the left side is believed to ward off phantoms and diamonds and drive away nightmares. Diamond is derived
from the Green world ‘adamas’ meaning invincible. The
Romans adorned themselves with diamonds for strength
and courage. For hundreds of years diamonds were
thought to have gender. In 1568 Francois Ruet described
two diamonds producing offspring.

African American Literature, cultural/social
values and combat zones
SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, May 3, 2013 - 5
Copyright James. G. Spady 2013
We are black
beautiful and our blackness sings out.
.. Sista Sonia Sanchez
In describing the African American Bay Literary and
Combat Zones during the 1960's, one is reminded of the
East Coast/West Coast battles in Hip Hop decades later.
Among the many centers of Black Cultural dispersion
in California was a place called "The Black House" and
this is almost a decade before George Clinton advocated
painting the White House Black. More like when
Richard Pryor was running for President. Like Amiri
Baraka be saying, it is the changing same. When Sonia
and Baraka arrived on the West Coast to help initiate the
Black Arts Movement West, Knowing the history of the
Bay Area of California and those multicultural communities that comprise the area and knowing the black flight
from the American South to Northern California, we can
better understand the emergence of such figures as Sarah
Fabio, Huey Newton, Marvin X, Sherley Williams and
Eldridge Cleaver.
Having already experienced the Black Arts Repertory
Theatre in more ways than one, Sonia went west to play
a very pivotal role as a social activist, college teacher and
always poet/humanist. She recalls,
"I was there to begin Black Studies with Nathan Hare,
Jimmy Garrett, and the whole B.S.U. [Black Student
Union] and Baraka came out ot do the cultural part. That
is when we began our association with the Black Panther
Party and the U.S. [United Slaves] organization. US and
The Black Panthers were at war with each other. It was a
very dangerous thing to be. We started a second Black
House. Marvin X, Cleaver (when he got out of prison)

Bronzeville Woman In A Red Hat
One of Sanchez's fellow poets and close associate was
playing her own active role in bringing about cultural and
political change in the City of Chicago (in the Pre-Barack
days, more like the Baraka days in African American
History). Pulitzer Prize winner and Poet Laureate,
Gwendolyn Brooks writes:
They had never had one in the house before.
The strangeness of it all, Like unleashing
A lion, really. Poised
To pounce, A puma. A panther. A black
Bear.
There it stood in the door,
Under a red hat that was rash, but refreshing
In a tasteless way, of course--- across the dull dare,
The semi-assault of that extraordinary blackness..
Michael Spindler wrote a book called, American Literature and Social Change. In that book he argues, " Nothing, it seems, could be more foreign to the modern
American mind than the idea of a society in statius.
Standing still on a social scale (as on the individual
scale) has come to carry unfair complications of failure,
decay, a radical loss of energy and direction. 'Change'
'transformation' development, progress, 'renewal', these
are the affirmative terms that pepper debates, magazine
reports, political pronouncements."
And Along Came Maxie Allen in Bronzeville USA
Maxie Allen always taught her
Stipendiary little daughter
To thank her Lord and lucky star
For eye that let him see so far
For throat enabling her to eat
Her Quaker Oats and Creamed Wheat
For tongue to tantrum for the penny,
For ear to hear the haven't-any
For arms to toss, for leg to chance
For heart to hanker for romance,
....Gwendolyn Brooks

Cooking
One of my greatest joys is
cooking. If you look at me
you would what I mean.You
can see I really love to eat
.Since I was a young man I
have been interested in cooking. I used to watch my
grandmother cook and bake.
When I was a small boy she
was an old grandmother. As I
grew up I remembered the
things she used to do and
how she cooked the old country ways. As I got into my teens my father brought
a grocery store with a luncheonette combined and
I would cook on the grill and make sandwiches.
People would come in and see me eating the lunch I
made for myself and they would say that they wanted to
have what I was having.I was a good grillman and I ran
my father's store in west philly adjacent to the powelton
area' As I got older still I got married and started to cook
even more things. I made soups and stews and roasts and
pasta dishes with homemade spaghetti sauce. I baked

whether the punishment is handed out at home, school or
by the criminal justice system — but I believe that it is
time we abandon a solely reactionary response to this
youth violence epidemic and start to deal with this proactively.
Viewing youth violence from a public health perspective allows trained professionals to treat the root causes
of the violence — traumas — rather than simply punishing the violent acts that stem from them.
Furthermore, by viewing perpetrators of youth violence through a new lens, experts and authorities will be
able to deal with them more compassionately, taking into
account the many traumatic experiences that have undoubtedly conditioned them towards violence. This
change in perspective calls for medical and scientific intervention to seek to answer the question, “what has happened to you,” rather than, “what is wrong with you,”
and by doing so, the proper specialists can begin asking
the question, “how can I help you?”
The public health model itself has a specific protocol
— at-risk populations are identified, given information
and education about the health problem and treated.
Steps to contain the epidemic are taken, and preventive
measures are put into place.
I believe that this is the model that will finally bring
about a breakthrough in the age-old struggle to find solutions and corrective remedies for the youth violence epidemic, and this will undoubtedly help to keep our young
people on the right track.

... Gwendolyn Brooks
In assessing the career of Gwendolyn Brooks, Kathy
Rugoff writes: " Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the most
important poets of twentieth century America. She was a
fiercely independent writer who borrowed from both European and African American literary traditions to write
poetry that would cut her own path and inspire writers in
the twentieth century and twentieth first centuries. Her
poetry , novels, autobiographies,and short prose works
are characterized by an intense awareness of the African
American experience, women's roles and feminist perspectives, and literary traditions. Brooks responded to
major events during her lifetime, including World War
11, the struggle for civil rights, the murders of African
American leaders, race riots, and daily life in segregated
urban America."

Juanita Bynum Arrested in Dallas, Texas
sherri y. johnson
Christian evangelist
and self-proclaimed
prophetess Juanita
Bynum says her recent
arrest on April 18 over a
debt owed to a promoter
was an "unfortunate
event" stemming from
fraud perpetrated by another party. Bynum said,
"Until recently, it was
my understanding that a
resolution had been
reached involving a business dispute between Mr.
Al Wash, of ALW Entertainment and myself." She
continued to say that she was "wrongfully detained" by
the Dallas Texas Sheriff's Dept. for failing to appear in
court months ago for a civil matter that she referenced
she had no knowledge of in her statement.
Bynum confirmed in her statement that she was released last Friday after a "brief court hearing" on the lawsuit originally brought by Wash in 2007. She said she
has not been "found guilty of any fraudulent, unethical or
non-integral behavior." Her statement also included an
apology attributed to Wash that is dated the day after her
arrest.
In an email sent from Al Wash of ALW Entertainment,
the promoter stated that there was a "misunderstanding of
information" and that he never intended for the arrest to
"do her or her ministry any harm." The email continued
to say that Wash was a person that helps others build
their careers. Wash referred to Bynum as "a spectacular
person" and have hopes that they can work together in
the future.
The $140,000 debt Wash claimed in a lawsuit that
Bynum owed his company was reportedly linked to a fee

she never honored, seven
years ago. Comments made
by Wash on April 19 on his
Twitter account indicated that
Bynum owed him a past debt
of $125,000.
Bynum claims she has
"shown due diligence by paying Mr. Wash $25,000 prior to
April 18, 2013" and that both
parties had come to an understanding regarding who was
responsible for the total
amount owed.” Bynum signs
Juanita Bynum
off the statement by asserting
that her new status as a goodwill ambassador for Bayelsa
State in southern Nigeria means she can no longer allow
attacks on her character "with impunity." The press
packet enclosing Bynum's statement on her arrest also includes documentation of her goodwill ambassador designation and photos of a Jan. 13, 2013, ceremony
celebrating her status as such attended by Nigerian dignitaries.
Bynum, 54, travels regularly to preach. She is also an
author and recording artist. Bynum was previously married to Thomas Weeks III, but the pair divorced in 2008
after Weeks pleaded guilty to assaulting his former wife
in a hotel parking lot the year prior.

Pain and Gain: True Story takes you for a serious ride
PhillyBeat
SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, Friday, May 3, 2013 - 7
Entertainment Editor
Yanina Carter
From acclaimed director
Michael Bay
comes "Pain &
Gain," a new action comedy
starring Mark
Wahlberg,
Dwayne Johnson
and Anthony
Mackie, which
opened in theaters this past
weekend. If you plan to see it, you are in for a
serious ride. Based on the unbelievable true
story of three personal trainers in 1990s Miami
who, in pursuit of the American Dream, get
caught up in a criminal enterprise that goes horribly
wrong. Ed Harris, Tony Shalhoub, Rob Corddry, Rebel
Wilson and Bar Paly also star. The film is based on magazine articles by Pete Collins, with a screenplay by
Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and produced
by Donald DeLine, Michael Bay and Ian Bryce.
In 1999, New Times published a three-part series
called "Pain & Gain" by writer Pete Collins. The story
revolved around a gang of local bodybuilders with a penchant for steroids, strippers, and quick cash. They later
became known as Miami's Sun Gym gang and quickly
developed a taste for blood and money.
Now in 2013, director Michael Bay is
bringing the story to
the big screen starring
actors Mark
Wahlberg, Dwayne
"The Rock" Johnson,
Anthony Mackie of
the Award winning
film “Hurt Locker”
and Ed Harris.
The movie is action
packed, filled with
bazaar scenes..
toys,…tricks and unthinkable behavior.
The film is so unpredictable so wouldn’t
want to get up once
during the 3 hour tale.
What makes the
movie so different is
Vonda Kline Bodybuilding
Champion, attends Red Carpet you would never exScreening of "Pain and Gain." pect Mark, Dwayne or
Anthony to be in this
type of movie, but their performance and presence is off
the hook.
Anthony Mackie stopped thru Philly for the Red Carpet screening last week and was overwhelmed by the
emotions the film is getting. “No one realized this is a
true story and we brought that story to life,” said Anthony. “Working with Mark and Dwayne who are so
physically fit, I had to bring my game and was working
out hours a day and had to gain over 60 pounds for the
film.” But Anthony had already lost that weight and was
thin and fit at the Red Carpet.
Anthony who has been featured in feature films, television series and Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Drowning Crow,
McReele, A Soldier's Play, and Talk, by Carl Hancock
Rux, for which he won an Obie Award in 2002. In 2002,
he was featured in Eminem's debut film, 8 Mile, playing
Papa Doc, a member of Leaders of the Free World. He
was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2009 In-

dependent Spirit Awards for his role in The Hurt Locker.
This is Anthony’s second ISA nomination, the first coming for his work in 2003 in Brother to Brother, where he
was nominated for Best Actor. Also in 2009, Mackie portrayed rapper Tupac Shakur in the film Notorious. He appears in the 2011 Matt Damon film The Adjustment
Bureau where he plays Harry Mitchell, a sympathetic
member of a shadowy supernatural group that controls
human destiny.
Anthony attended New Orleans School for Creative
Arts, graduated high school from North Carolina Schools
of the Arts and graduated from The Juilliard School. He
said he planned to be an engineer before falling in love
with acting. "You never see girls running after engineers."(on why he chose acting over a career as an engineer)
He is currently (as of 2010) seeking a producer for a

character in ''8 Mile'' at one point has his rapping skills
compared negatively to those of Tupac Shakur. 6 years
later, Anthony played Tupac in a biopic.
"I was flabbergasted. Everybody knows when you've
got a role in a Spike Lee movie, you're gonna blow up.
But I happen to be the only person who's had the lead in
the two Spike Lee movies nobody saw. It was a humbling
experience, but Spike taught me more about how to fall
on my face in this business than anybody else.”

Bodybuilding competitions. Vonda said it took a lot of
control and determination to become a bodybuilder.

You will never Miss your Water until it is Gone
Toby Rich
This week’s rap from
your Mayor of Girard Avenue, Toby Rich is called,
“You Will Never Miss Your
Water until it Is Gone.” I
say that because soon many
things that we take for
granted here in Philly may
not be here anymore.
P.G.W. is once such thing.
There was a press conference last week and
P.G.W. may go private just like a few other businesses owned by the city or state. The gas company; the Wine and Spirits Shops and maybe even the
lotto are companies that provide good jobs for folks in
Philadelphia that could go away into “Oblivion” just like
the new movie. However from what our Mayor Nutter
says he will try very hard to make sure that folks are able
to keep their jobs, which is not always easy. It’s good to
hear that he’s concerned about the job safety of the people in our city though.
It’s also being said that along with the privatization,
the rates will not go up and a certain freeze will be
placed on the rates until 2016. Now I know that will not
fix everything but at least there is room for people to
know what is coming and that we all must stay in touch
with things so that we can be ready for any changes that
will come. We all know that if anything is certain -change is.
We have dealt with a big change in our respect for our
fellow men and women. Just look at what happened in
Boston. To think that someone would want to place

bombs at the Boston Marathon where the people running
are innocent of any one idea or cause. Yet you have folks
that would want to hurt or kill them.
I know that there will be someone that will say that I
have no idea of the people America has hurt and I will
still say that does not make it right that folks go on
killing each other for no good reason. Then we wonder
where the young folks get the ideas to kill and hurt each
other. All they have to do is look at the news and history.
We tell them not to lie, yet our government does not always tell the truth.
We say it’s wrong to kill yet we bomb. Now we have
countries with a bomb that can destroy a whole country.
What kind of example do we really set for them even
though we all know that they have the sense to really
know right from wrong. Then again, they are children.
That’s why we will see a young person playing with a toy
gun that looks real or see a young person get killed with
an AK-47 -- a weapon that’s used in wars. Why would
anyone have such a weapon?

But this is the world we live in. Look at some of the
movies today actually talking about earth coming to an
end. When you think about it, there are people that would
not have a problem making the end of the world a reality.
It would only take using a certain kind of bomb. Have we
lost our love for life that much that folks want things to
come to Oblivion. I know that’s wrong. We are still a loving world of people. Maybe things have gone astray a
little bit, however I do believe that God will help us all
look deep inside ourselves to get things back on the right
tack. I guess we must first start by showing our young
folks that we love them and no matter how corny it may
sound, we will try to find ways to keep the schools open
and find more ways to better our economy with more
jobs and better jobs for everyone that needs one.
Last of all but most of all, we must find a way to put
down and stop using the guns, bombs and killing before
the word “Oblivion” will not be just a movie -- but our
reality. With love, honor and respect from your Mayor of
Girard Avenue. Toby Rich. Peace

Organizations that Provide Abstinence Only Until Marriage (Part I)
claudelle evans
Today, a variety of organizations produce abstinenceonly-until-marriage
curricula and materials as
well as provide teacher
trainings and speakers.
These organizations range
from large nonprofit organizations to smaller, for-profit
producers of curricula, and
fee-for-services speakers.
This fact sheet contains a
list of diverse national organizations that support an abstinence-only-until-marriage approach. It is designed to
provide a brief overview of each organization as well as
information on the relevant resources they provide.
This list is not exhaustive, and there are many more
state and local organizations with similar missions. For
more information on these organizations and an extensive list of additional organizations that produce abstinence-only-until-marriage material, please visit the
policy section of SIECUS’ website at
http://www.siecus.org/policy/.
A.C. GREEN YOUTH FOUNDATION
[email protected]
Background & Positions
“[We believe] that young people must develop morally,
ethically, educationally, physically, and mentally to fulfill
their dreams and goals in life. The underlying theme
throughout is to accept each person for who they are, in
an unconditional atmosphere of love and respect.
We must all join together in making our communities,
cities, and countries a better place for all. We must educate and assist the youth to ensure a better future.” [1]
“The A.C. Green Youth Foundation is about building
character, building strong bodies and strong minds, winning and losing with dignity, teamwork, and sacrifice. We
provide programs that ignite dreams and an abstinence
program that says it’s okay to wait until marriage. In
short, we are building leaders. Leaders who, in their individual capacity, no matter what their station in life, will
be able to stand up for what is right instead of wrong, and
in fact, will be their brother’s keeper.” [2]

“Choosing the Best, a leader in abstinence sex education curricula, training and resources since 1993. Medically based, our curricula promote healthy
relationships— and have resulted in decreases in teen
pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Over
1,000,000 students nationwide have completed our program.”[4]
“Teaching and promoting abstinence is the exclusive
purpose of all Choosing the Best programs. However,
CTB LIFE (for high school students) and CTB PATH
(for upper middle school students) do provide a brief listing of various contraception alternatives— including abstinence—showing the failure rates of these methods and
the conclusion that abstinence is the only method to eliminate the risk of pregnancy and STDs. Unlike ‘abstinence
plus’ or ‘comprehensive’ programs, which incorrectly
teach that birth control and abstinence are equally effective risk reduction strategies, Choosing the Best does not
advocate or demonstrate contraceptive methods for
teens.”[5]

more and more young people are making everyday. What
is a commitment to abstinence-until-marriage? It’s a decision to respect yourself and your future spouse. It’s a
way to show that you are committed to pursuing what’s
best for you, in order to remain physically healthy and

The Value of the Little things
C H E S T E R , PA
We are living
in an age and in
a society where
people are hungup on bigness.”
For many times
we equate success with Quantity rather than
Quality. Our
standard of excellence in far
too many instances is based upon abundance
and magnitude. We are obsessed with the
idea of putting on big programs, holding big
positions, having big titles, living in big
homes, driving big cars, throwing big parties,
making and spending big money.
Now this idea of “bigness” has even invaded the
church. Now, this would be a great asset if we were
only projecting our efforts in the right direction. If we
were thinking about: Saving Big Sinners, Reclaiming
Big Backsliders, Redirecting and Reforming Big Hypocrites, Supporting Big Causes, Spreading the Truth instead of Big Lies, Straightening Out Big Crooks,
Making Angels out of Big Devils.
But instead of thinking this way, most of us are
spending our energies trying to make “Who’s Who in
Religion”.
Sometimes, God in His permissive providence allows adverse circumstances to invade our lives so that
we can gain a greater appreciation for “little things.”
And if the downward trend in our economy continues
for an extended period most of us if not all of us will
realize that there is a value in “little things.”
Many people never experience the pleasure of family
conversation until the picture tube blows out in the television set.
Many folk never hear the melodious singing of the
“And whosoever shall give to drink
unto one of these little ones, a cup of cold water only
in the name of a disciple verily I say unto you
he shall in no wise lose his reward.”
St. Matthew 10:42
birds in the trees until the finance company repossesses
their stereo component system. Many people never
hear God’s still small voice until the money stops rattling in their pockets.
Yes, sometimes God permits us to be deprived of the
so-called big things so that we can appreciate the value
of “little things.”
In our text Jesus is sending His disciples out to engage in some in-service training. He tells them that
they will be as sheep among wolves. He tells them
that they must be as wise as serpents and as harmless
as doves. Then He gives them the power to heal the
sick, raise the dead, cure the lepers and cast out
demons.
Jesus also cautioned them about getting hung-up on
large donations and sizable contributions for their services. He charged them to serve the rich, the poor, the
young, the old, the black and the white, all the same.
“And don’t be unduly concerned about the accommodation you receive. Although you will be worthy of
your hire, don’t let monetary considerations influence
the quality of your service.”
Yes, Jesus told His disciples to learn to appreciate
the value of “Little Things.”
Be thankful for a cup of cold water.
Be grateful for a hearty handshake.
Be appreciative of a friendly smile.
Be contented with a wooden bench to sit upon.
Express your gratitude for a pat on the back.
Jesus also told His disciples to remind the contributors that whatever they gave if given in His name, they
would be rewarded. In other words: No matter how
small the gift, if it is given from the heart with sincerity you will be rewarded. And you know, sometimes
there is more love in a cup of cold water than there is
in an elaborate meal or a big check.
And by the same token, a greater reward will be
given for a cup of cold water, given with love than for
a million dollars given the social prestige and status.
Now, our text should not be used to justify a person’s
stinginess, as it relates to the support of God’s program.
And some of us are real, real, real stingy! Aren’t
we? You know who you are!
You see, Jesus never congratulated anybody for
doing a little when he or she was able to do a lot.
When you have the capability of being the best, God
will not accept you doing second best. For to do less
than one’s best is a sin.
When you have the potential for excellence, God is
not please with your offer of mediocrity.
Jesus had high praise for the widow who gave her
two pennies, because this small amount was all that
she had.
Throughout the Bible, we can see the value of little
things. Think About It:
A little baby wrapped in a little blanket, floating in
a little basket grew up to be the great leader who
brought the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage.
Little David took his little sling shot and picked up a
little rock ad killed “Big Bad Goliath.” A little baby
was born in a little town called Bethlehem and grew up
in a little town called Nazareth.
And one day Jesus called a little boy who had a little
lunch which contained two little fishes and 5 little
loaves and fed 5,000 plus folk!!
And when I begin to think of how Jesus solved so
many problems with little things, I fall down on my
knees and “Have A Little Talk with Jesus, I Tell Him
All about My Troubles.”
For, When You feel A Little Prayer Wheel Turning,
You’ll know A Little Fire is Burning and Then A Little
Talk with Jesus Makes It Right.

Strange Fruit
A film by Joel Katz
(USA, 2002, 60 min)
Writer and director Joel
Katz will participate in a
post screening discussion
via Skype
Joel Katz's Strange Fruit
is a documentary/essay exploring the history and
legacy of a song unique in
the annals of American
music. Best known by a
1939 Billie Holiday rendition, "Strange Fruit" gives
a bitter and harrowing description of a lynching.
The film also tells the tale
of the songwriter, Abel
Meeropol, a Jewish school
teacher from the Bronx.
One of the most important
protest songs ever written,
it became a staple in Holiday's career. Its' lyrics
were read on the floor of
Congress during ultimately
unsuccessful efforts to
pass Federal anti-lynching
legislation, and it has been
recorded by dozens of
artists since it was written
in the mid-1930's.

Social security
patrick l. robinson, sr.
From the stables
to the tracks, people
across the United
States are already
talking about this
year’s Triple Crown.
The three biggest
thoroughbred horse
races in the nation
— the Kentucky
Derby in Louisville, Kentucky; the
Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, Maryland; and the Belmont Stakes in Elmont,
New York — take place in the coming
weeks. It has been 34 years since a horse
has won all three and taken the U.S. Triple
Crown. Social Security has a horse in the race,
so to speak. We offer our own “Triple Crown”
of social media at www.socialsecurity.gov. Facebook is
a great place to stay in the know when it comes to useful
information about Social Security. “Like” Social Security

“Teen-Aid is a not-for profit organization started in

method believed most valuable was abstinence education, which stresses character development and connection to parents.” [11]
“Teen-Aid produces curricula materials for public and
private schools as well as offering materials developed
by others but which still conveys the skills and integrity
of abstinence, fidelity and character. Information is foundational. Character, the habit of doing well, is indispensable. Community support is the wave of the future.
Abstinence is achievable.”[12]

March Against
Violence
Beech Interplex, Inc. is
partnering with
the Cecil. B.
Moore
Philadelphia
Freedom Fighters (Freedom
Fighters), Girard College
and the
Philadelphia
Police Department’s 22nd
District for a March Against Violence on Saturday,
May 4.
The March Against Violence, sponsored by the
Cecil B. Moore Freedom Fighters, will start at 9 AM
in front of the Philadelphia NAACP headquarters,
1619 Cecil B. Moore Avenue, Philadelphia. The
marchers, led by the Modern Legends Drill Team, will
walk approximately one mile to Girard College, 2101
South College Avenue, Philadelphia.
The marchers will end the March Against Violence
by going inside Girard College to participate in the
school’s annual “Cares Day,” which will include
things like painting, planting and cleaning up of the
Girard College campus. The Girard College Cares
Day will run from 10 AM to 12 noon and the
marchers will be working side-by-side with current
Girard College students, administrators and alumni.
“Beech Interplex is honored to play a role in working towards peace in the streets of North Philadelphia
and throughout the city in sporting the March Against
Violence and Girard College Cares event,” said Kenneth Scott, president of Beech Interplex, Inc. “In the
wake of such tragic events like the Boston Marathon
bombings and the everyday violence taking place in
our city, the need for peace on our streets, our neighborhoods and our nation is of critical importance.”
“The March Against Violence is about is about
showing the world that the citizens of Philadelphia are
not scared to death and just sitting in our house, but
we are fighting back,” Freedom Fighters President
Mel Dorn said. “We are doing this march to show a
positive example for our children. Violence of all
kinds is impacting every section of this city and kids
are dying on our streets. We want to remind people
through this march to get out of your houses, stand up
and fight back.”
The March Against Violence and Girard College
Cares Day celebrates giving back to the community
and empowering others to participate in community
service.
The Freedom Fighters and Beech Interplex will
honor the memory of the late Philadelphia City Councilman/civil rights activist Cecil B. Moore with a May
4 ceremony and performances starting at 11:30 AM at
Girard College’s Tuttle Pavilion. The special guests
include jazz singer Billy Paul and documentary filmmaker Louis Massiah.
Cecil B. Moore was a legendary Philadelphia
lawyer, civil rights activist who was once president of
the Philadelphia NAACP (1963-67) and was the
leader in helping integrate Girard College, which had
only allowed white male students to attend its’ first
through twelfth grade school that opened in 1848.
Moore, who died in 1979 at age 63, is best remembered for leading seven month and 17 days of picket
lines in front of Girard College during 1965. In 1968,
federal courts ruled African-American students seeking admission to Girard College cannot be denied admission because of their race. The Girard College
trustees voted to admit African-American students to
the school in May 1968
The first African-American students entered the
school in September 1968 and the first African-American girls in 1984.
The Freedom Fighters are a group of men and
women who have committed their lives to the sole
purpose of equality and freedom throughout the
streets of Philadelphia since fighting for the integration of Girard College in the mid 1960’s. The Freedom Fighters are educating Philadelphia’s young
people to stand up against injustices and improve and
promote North Philadelphia through the living legacy
of Moore.
As part of the Girard College Cares Day on May 4,
a celebration of Philly Police for Peace will take place
at 12:15 PM at Tuttle Pavilion. The Police Department will also sponsor activities for children inside
the Girard College campus from 12:15 PM to 2 PM.
The activities will include arts and crafts, relay races,
rock climbing and jump rope.
Individuals interested in participating in the March
4th march should email your full name to
[email protected] or arrive at the March starting line by 9 a.m., May 4.
Volunteers who want to participate in this community service opportunity are encouraged to register at
[email protected] or 215-787-4423.
