ore than 100 cleanup
volunteers from a variety
of organizations through-
out the Delaware Valley began gather-
ing at the Kingsessing Avenue and S.
62nd Street entrance to Mt. Moriah
Cemetery early Saturday morning,
June 16. The effort was a continuation
of the rehabilitation of what is now
characterized as the abandoned but
not forgotten burial grounds which
date to the mid 1800s.
Spurred on by in particular by the
Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery,
and strong support from various agen-
cies like Global Citizen, Philadelphia
Cares, and Serve Philadelphia, the
workers fanned out over the Philadel-
phia portion of the 380-acre cemetery,
the largest in the state, according to
Friends members. They labored with
diligence and goodwill in the growing
heat until well past noon.
As individuals and groups arrive,
we are assigning them roughly 10-or-so
at a time to various sections, said Vic-
toria Ford, vice president of operations
for Global Citizens, who was on duty
at the registration desk under the trees
at the entranceway - possibly the only
shady spot at the cemetery. Should
we have more volunteers, we can add
them in the sections we planned to
cover today. Global Citizens is the
organization which is responsible for
putting together Philadelphias out-
standing annual MLK Day of service
in January, plus a calendar of activi-
ties throughout the year.

hopRite Super
Stores manage-
ment was recog-
nized by First Lady Michelle
Brown for its work in provid-
ing healthy and affordable
food to local communities in
Philadelphia and surround-
ing areas.
Specifically honored
on July 20 was Jeffrey
Brown, president and CEO
of Browns Super Stores,
which operates the chain of
10 ShopRite supermarkets,
including its ShopRite out-
let at the Penrose Shopping
Center, Island Avenue and
Lindbergh Boulevard.
The award to Brown
centered around his creation
of the non-profit UpLift So-
lutions in 2009 to assist
retailers and governments
to address issues of access
to quality, affordable food.
UpLift allows Mr. Brown
to share his supermarket
model and experience on a
national basis.
The commitments
were announcing today
have the potential to be a
game-changer for kids and
communities all across this
country, said Mrs. Obama.
We can give people all the
information and advice in
the world about healthy eat-
ing and exercise. But if par-
ents cant buy the food they
need to prepare those meals
because their only options
for groceries are the local
minimart, then all that is
just talk.
Mrs. Obamas Lets
Move! Initiative is about
giving parents real choices
about the food their kids are
eating.
Todays announcement
means that more parents
will have a fresh food retailer
right in their community a
place that sells healthy food,
at reasonable prices, so they
can feed their families the
way they want, she said.
Added State Sen. Vin-
cent Hughes, Jeffs efforts
to make quality, reason-
ably priced foods available
to the people in my district
are commendable, and the
honor given by the White
House today is very well
deserved. As an example
of the ShopRite successful
community leadership and
development, Sen. Hughes
added, Jeff knew precise-
ly what the community
needed in terms of a local
grocery store and played a
pivotal role in ensuring the
community received it.
Brown was invited to
join Mrs. Obama at the
White House as she outlines
the progress of her campaign
to bring healthy and afford-
able food to every commu-
nity across the country. As
part of the Lets Move
campaign, Mrs. Obama an-
nounced Wednesday that
leading grocery retailers
have committed to bring
healthy, affordable food to
nearly 10 million people
over the next five years in
the form of new and ex-
panded stores in areas that
desperately need them.
Browns Super Stores
and other top food retail-
ers like SUPERVALU, Wal-
greens and Wal-Mart have
committed to open or ex-
pand more than 1,500 lo-
cations combined over the
next five years in low-in-
come areas that lack stores
likely to sell affordable and
nutritious foods.
Currently, 23.5 million
Americans live in low-in-
come areas that lack stores
likely to sell affordable and
nutritious foods. Of these,
more than half are living in
households with incomes at
or below the 200% poverty
line, and 6.5 million are
children.

Help for Foreclosure Victims
By Caleb Nothwehr
D
arin Sackies jour-
ney from civil-
war-torn Liberia
to Southwest Philadelphia is
filled with exciting changes
and overcoming great hard-
ships.
But that story was about
to take a tragic turn two and
half years ago when the 69-
year old local resident de-
faulted on his mortgage. At
the beginning of this year, he
was on the verge of losing his
house. I am sick. Id been
out of a job for almost two
and a half years, Sackie said.
They were asking for money
and I couldnt send it.

Fortunately, before fore-
closing, the bank asked Sack-
ie visit Southwest Commu-
nity Development
Corp. (SWCDC) to
talk with one of its
housing counselors.
SWCDC let him
know that EHLP
was on the way.
EHEP is not a
misspelling, but
rather the Emer-
gency Homeown-
ers Loan Program
which began this
year to offers zero-
interest, five-year,
declining balance loan for up
to $50,000. The program aids
homeowners who are behind
in their payments and at risk
of foreclosure.
Heres how it works: The
loan can pay for 100 percent
of the mortgage delinquency
and fees for which the ho-
meowner owes. The hom-
eowner, in turn, must make
a set monthly payment, pro-
portional to the 31% of the
homeowners gross
monthly income.
Housing coun-
selors at SWCDC
are hoping to
spread the word
about EHLP. Just
because youre in
delinquency or de-
fault doesnt mean
you have to give up
your house, said
Deirdre Jones-Low-
man, housing pro-
gram manager at
SWCDC. There are a lot of
alternatives out there for ho-
meowners that dont include
having your home taken away
from you.
The EHLP loan is tailor-
made for people in situations
like Sackies, because it offers
assistance to homeowners
who plan to stay rooted in the
community. The objective of
programs like EHLP is that if
you have a reasonable chance
of being able to pay this going
forward, they want to give you
that chance, said Jones-Low-
man. Every year that you live
in your house, it decreases by
20 percent, so after five years,
there is no more loan.
Currently Sackie is near
the end of the approval pro-
cess for the EHLP loan and

In her case...About 15 miles.
How close are we
to a cure for cancer?
Despite remarkable progress in the ght against cancer, there are many cancer patients whose greatest
challenge isnt lack of treatment. Its lack of transportation.
To make sure that everyone who needs a ride gets one, the American Cancer Society is currently seeking
volunteer drivers. If you have one or more mornings or afternoons free during the month, you can
volunteer for this lifesaving program. A person can volunteer as often as he or she wishes. The American
Cancer Society provides an orientation, support materials, and other assistance.
For information on how to volunteer, or if you need transportation assistance, call your American Cancer
Society at 1.800.227.2345 or visit cancer.org.
said he is hopeful to move
forward. Right now Im very
thankful to God for the ap-
proval of the loan. We believe
that my house will not be
foreclosed, he said. Im very
grateful for the assistance that
came to me from Southwest
CDC. They are always willing
to listen to people cry and are
always willing to help people
who fall in a situation like my
case.
Jones-Lowman said
she encourages resi-
dents of Southwest who
are delinquent on their
mortgage due to unem-
ployment, underemploy-
ment or medical issues
to check out the EHLP
Loan. Its really about
supporting people who
are trying to help them-
selves who just got
caught up, she said.
If you would like
to know more about
the EHLP program or
other housing-related
issues, please contact
Deirdre Jones-Lowman
at SWCDC at 267-289-

A
FRICOM, the Co-
alition of African
Co mmu n i t i e s
Philadelphia, will hold its
11th annual free Community
Health Fair on Sunday, Au-
gust 7, 2011 in collaboration
with the Mayors Commis-
sion on African and Carib-
bean Immigrant Affairs, the
Department of Public Health
of the City of Philadelphia,
and other community orga-
nizations.
The Health Fair will be
held from noon-8 p.m. at
Kingsessing Recreation Cen-
ter, 50th Street and Kingsess-
ing Avenue. In addition to
community members, several
officials from the city govern-
ment and leaders of African
and Caribbean communities
are expected to attend.
Health professionals and
other service providers will
provide general informa-
tion about health services
that are available at no cost
to Philadelphia residents.
Community members will
be able to discuss their con-
cerns with staff and volun-
teers in English, French and
Creole. Trained health work-
ers and volunteers will offer
blood pressure screenings,
diabetes evaluations, HIV/
AIDS screenings, prenatal
care, oral health, nutrition,
sexually transmitted dis-
eases, dental health, pediat-
rics, Sickle Cell disease, eye
disease, and cancer (skin,
breast, prostate). There will
also be pharmacy represen-
tatives on site. In addition to
health services, the fair will
include a soccer tournament,
childrens activities and Afri-
can and Caribbean music.
The Greater Philadelphia
area is home to approximate-
ly 100,000 residents from Af-
rica and the Caribbean. Many
of these diverse communities
have established non-profit
organizations to maintain so-
cial and cultural ties and to
assist newcomers.
In May 2001, 15 organi-
zations founded the Coali-
tion of African Organizations
Philadelphia, to empower
the African and Caribbean
refugee and immigrant com-
munities by facilitating ac-
cess to health and social ser-
vices, promoting economic
development, resolving in-
ter- and intra-group conflicts,
advocating on issues of con-
cern to African communities,
and educating the media and
broader public on African
cultures and experiences.
The coalition proactively
seeks and develops partner-
ships with non-profit, pri-
vate, educational and Afri-
can American institutions in
the Greater Philadelphia area
to achieve its mission.

ing city involvement in sorting out
both responsibilities and priorities for
restoring Mt. Moriah, Mayor Michael
Nutter was one of the first to arrive for
the days activities.
We still dont know who is in
charge, he said to the Friends
group leaders. Its complicated by
the [geographical] split between
Philadelphia and Yeadon and the
fact that there is no responsible
state agency.
What we have here is disre-
spectful of the families who have
committed loved ones to this rest-
ing place and its disrespectful of
our local neighborhoods and the
community, said the obviously
concerned mayor. It is disgraceful
that we have permitted the proper-
ty to be neglected, overgrown and
used as a dumping ground.
Over the last three weeks, the city
has assigned work crews to begin cut-
ting the grass. Todays efforts focus on
gathering up the cuttings and clipping
around grave memorials.
Todays effort defines what is
right with Mt Moriah, added Mayor
Nutter. It also defines public service;
the living giving dignity to those who
have passed on. I want to thank every
volunteer here today, and urge that
the community get behind the next
cleanup day on August 13.
Later in the day, State Representa-
tives Ronald Waters and Kenyatta
Johnson rolled up their sleeves
and pitched in with the cleanup.
Originally incorporated in
Southwest in 1855, Mt. Moriahs
initial 54 acres expanded across Cobbs
Creek to portions of Yeadon and be-
came an alternative resting place for
members of city churches which
had filled their own graveyards. It
was also selected by area civic and
fraternal organizations for the same
reason. In its present configuration
it is divided into 211 numbered
sections and another 10, letter-des-
ignated areas.
Leading the sustained cleanup
efforts is Friends of Mount Moriah
Cemetery. In their post-event re-
lease, the Friends expressed their
appreciation to those who partici-
pated in the Volunteer Day clean-
up. With the collective efforts of
everyone involved, the first steps
have been taken to develop a sus-
tainable future for the cemetery and
the greater Mount Moriah communi-
ty, it said.
As the legal questions regarding
responsibility for maintaining the
cemetery are sorted out in the courts
(the city has now secured the old
burial records under court order), the
Friends will be coordinating cleanups
on August 13, September 10 and Oc-
tober 8. Additional details and regis-
tration information will be available
on its website. Involved in the work of
the group are Daniel Callahan, presi-
dent; Stephanie Gilbert, vice presi-
dent, Susan Facciolli, secretary; Mark
Anderson, treasurer; and Scott Maits,
an active member of the board.
One team on duty early was the
Philadelphia Training Group headed
by John McCullough. McCullough
prepares adults with vocational skills
in the construction trades after years
of training high school students in the
same disciplines.
Additional monthly cleanups have
been scheduled at Mt. Moriah for Au-
gust 13, September 10, and October 8.

I
ts about that time of the year
again, as the festival season in
Philadelphia kicks off and a
Southwest organization plays a major
role.
The African Cultural Alliance of
North America (ACANA) will host its
annual cultural festival for the fourth
year in the row. As in previous years,
this year event will take place at Penns
Landing, managed by the Delaware Riv-
er Waterfront Corporation. The stage
will light up at 2 p.m. for the August
6, 2011 event with an array of African-
American jazz musicians, including Go
for Broke Band led by Penny MacDon-
ald, a councilwoman in the Borough of
Yeadon and aide to St. Representative
Ronald G. Waters.
The festival will feature diverse di-
aspora groups of artists from Africa, the
Caribbean and the U.S. Among those
participating are Joan Tigrass Rowley,
Trinidads queen of soca music, Jodi, a
Liberian R&B mega star based in Flori-
da, Rafiya, an America-born Congolese
artist, the Camden-based Universal
Dance Ensemble, an exact replica of
the Ballet African Dance Troup from
the Republic of Guinea, Kulu Mele
Dance Troup, a West African culture-
inspired, African
American dance
troupe, as well as
Coda, a jazz band in
Philadelphia. With
the array of talent be-
ing showcased, this
years ACANA Festi-
val is certain to be a
big crowd pleaser.
In previous
years, the ACANA
Cultural Festival had
brought on stage big
name artists such as
Maxi Preast of Ja-
maica and Liberias
Geibah Swaray of the Safari Band.
These programs have often pulled a
multi-racial crowd from across the Phil-
adelphia region. According to ACANA
CEO Voffee Jabateh, this years event
is co-hosted by the Philadelphia-based
African American Museum and is cer-
tain to repeat the success of previous
programs. Jabateh said he hoped the
event further integrates ACANA into
Philadelphias cultural framework.
When we came
to Southwest Phila-
delphia and began
emerging into this
social and political
fabric, there were
misconceptions that
we all had to get
over, said Jabateh
referring to the many
fallacies that African
and African Ameri-
cans have concern-
ing each others way
of life. The continu-
al theme is bridging
the gap the cultural
gap between African and African-
American cultures. If this festival has
obtained anything its to bridge the cul-
tural divide.
The annual cultural festival is one
of the many activities ACANA has
spearheaded in its 12 years of service
to the African and Caribbean immi-
grant communities. Since its founding
in 1999 by Liberian cultural artists and
social work professionals, ACANA has
forged its mission to bridge the gap be-
tween the African immigrant and the
African-American community. The
agency has provided assistance to ref-
ugees from Africa and the Caribbean
who seek asylum and other immigrant
benefits. ACANA is now a Bureau of
Immigration Appeal, fully accredited
agency, helping immigrants with legal
immigration services. ACANA is the
second African-founded service orga-
nization in the United States providing
such services, with the other being the
Ethiopian Community Development
Corporation of Alexandria, VA.
Among major festival sponsors this
year are PECO Energy, an Excelon com-
pany, City of Philadelphias Depart-
ment of Behavioral Health, Pennsyl-
vania Council on the Arts through the
Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance,
and Brown Family Shop Rite Stores.
4th ACANA Annual Cultural Festival at Penns Landing
Rafiya, an America-born Congo-
lese artist, will be part of the list of art-
ists at the festival.

CA is now offering a new
Building Performance In-
stitute course: Residential
Building Envelope Whole House Air
Leakage Control Installer, or BPI In-
staller for short. This is a new entry
level certification course developed
by BPI to provide greater hands-on
skills for installers.
In the five day class offered at
ECAs Knight Green Jobs Training
Center, students learn to tighten the
building envelope. The skills learned
help to reduce energy loss from air
leakage, reduce pollutants and aller-
gens through air migration, improve
thermal comfort, and energy efficien-
cy through the proper installation of
dense-pack insulation materials.

To achieve certification, students
must pass both the written and field
exam - both of which are conducted
during the five days. ECA has multi-
ple course offerings per month, which
you can sign up for through ECAs
course catalog.
The Knight Training Center is lo-
cated at 106 West Clearfield St., Phila.

R
ecognizing that Southwest
and the region as a whole
have been inundated with
homicides for several years, State Rep.
Kenyatta Johnson discussed this critical
issue on July 8 with residents, commu-
nity leaders and law enforcement at the
Kingsessing Recreation Center.
Rep. Johnson who represents
the 186th legislative district was
joined in this third and final
meeting on the subject of com-
munity responsibility for reduc-
ing violence by Jordan Harris,
executive director of the Youth
Commission. The series was an
outgrowth of Rep. Johnsons on-
going involvement in Peace Not
Guns which he founded. He
urged everyone from community
members to police officials to,
step up and take an active role
in stopping the violence in our
neighborhoods.
Our excuses are killing our
youth, and we have to start hold-
ing ourselves accountable for putting an
end to the senseless acts of violence, he
stated.

Those in attendance presented so-
lutions that included improving com-
munity relations between adults and
children, developing schools and other
educational institutions, and address-
ing the lack of self-respect within urban
communities.
Violence and hopelessness can
never be a community norm, stated Jor-
dan Harris. These meetings provided an
opportunity for community members to
bring solutions that could end this dis-
parity and ultimately youth violence.
Next steps include creating task
forces within the community and orga-
nizations who will implement the solu-
tions identified at the meetings.

To play a part in this effort, con-
tact Rep. Johnsons office at 1610 South
Broad St., Phila., PA 19146, phone 215-
952-3378, or visit his website www.

of the Home Depot store on Columbus
Boulevard in South Philadelphia.
In addition to attending a Nation-
al Night Out Celebration, Mayor Mike
Nutter has asked residents to use Au-
gust - Public Safety Awareness Month

W
hether it concerns
students at West
Philadelphia High
School or trees on Woodland Av-
enue, Colena Golson, project as-
sociate at Southwest CDC, has a
passion for helping things grow.
Formerly a case manager
for teen parents in the School
District of Philadelphia, Golson
is now working to revitalize the
commercial climate along Wood-
land Avenue. The transition has
been a natural one, she said.
A lot of my school kids
used to say theres no motiva-
tion, Golson recalled, referring
to neighborhood streets lined
with abandoned storefronts and
vacant houses. Now, Golson is
working to make that change that
image in Southwest, heading up
projects for the Southwest CDC
team that is trying to return both
business and beauty to the Wood-
land corridor and bring more
customers back to those stores in
the process.
As the project team gears
up for its next cleanup day from
8:30 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug.
6, Golson, a graduate student at
Eastern University in the Urban
Studies program, will spearhead
the effort, focusing on the area
between 64th and 68th on Wood-
land Ave.
But cleaning up is just
the beginning for Golson and the
team at Southwest CDC. Golson
is also heading a new initiative to
bring more trees to the avenue.
The end goal is to have all of
Woodland Avenue be tree-lined.
Just because its a business cor-
ridor doesnt mean it has to look
desolate, said Golson.
The tree-planting initia-
tive will unfold in two phases:
first, by focusing on the city-
owned, concrete dividers that line
the avenue, and planting trees
within them; second, by working
with business owners to encour-
age tree-planting in front of their
stores. Golson said her role at
with the Woodland Ave. project
team is a culmination of some of
her experience in past jobs.
Her most rewarding work in
life, she said, was watching se-
nior students at West Philadel-
phia High School walk across the
stage to receive their diplomas.
It took so much for them to get
there. So much from me; so much
from them, she said, Its some-
thing that 95% of them wouldnt
have done if they didnt have
someone pushing them.
Giving businesses and servic-
es in Southwest a helping hand
means more opportunity and jobs
for residents Golson said.

ore than 30 residents
of Southwest Phila-
delphia will be saving
money and energy thanks to Bong
Mines Bridge Inc. and members of
the Southwest CDC staff.
Bong Mines Bridge, Inc.,
an organization at 2016 A. 65th
St., offering activities and assis-
tance to senior citizens of Afri-
can descent, hosted the conser-
vation workshop in a shaded
area outside its building. The
seniors received budget coun-
seling, cork guns, window kits
and energy-saving light bulbs.
By far the most popular items
given away were the limited
number of fans generously do-
nated by parishioners at Wayne
Presbyterian Church (WPC).
The fans arrived last week via
truck driven by its owner Jerry
McVeigh. McVeigh diligently aids
Southwests citizens and organiza-
tions by transporting all kinds of
items in good and bad weather do-
nated by WPC. Some of the fans were
given to residents who opted for bud-
get counseling at Southwest CDC,
others were designated for parents
of summer campers at Patterson El-
ementary School. The rest belonged
to Bong Mines.
Southwest CDC self sufficiency
counselor Ebony Taylor, handled
the free budget counseling offered
to Bong Mines seniors, who by prior
instruction, had brought their utility
bills, an accounting of all monthly
expenses, Social Security cards, and
proof of income for the past 30
days.
Southwest CDCs Rich
Meeler, and the organizations
NAC community organizer El-
hadji Ndiaye, then helped dis-
tribute the fans to the eagerly
awaiting seniors. Ndiaye set up
the workshop with Bong Mines
executive director Ciatta Z. Tu-
nis. In return, the Bong Mines
seniors thanked the Southwest
CDC staff by performing an eth-
nic African dance.
While all the fans are gone, Tay-
lor said the free budget counseling is
still available. Residents who want to
get a handle on their bills and better
control their spending, should bring
to Southwest CDC the same paper-
work required of the seniors - utility
bills, an accounting of all monthly
expenses, Social Security cards, and
proof of income for the past 30 days.
For free budget counseling or to
set up an energy conservation work-
shop for your organization, block or
business, call Ebony Taylor at 215-
729-0800. For more information on
Bong Mines Bridge Inc. senior initia-
tive, call executive director Ciatta Z.
Tunis at 215-301-7413 or email her at
ciattatunis@yahoo.com.

N
ext Tuesday, Au-
gust 2, the Mus-
lim community
throughout the entire world
will start observing the holy
month of Ramadan.
The outward aspect of
this observance is fasting, or
Sawm in Arabic. According to
Islamic law, fasting Muslims
keep themselves away from
food, drink or other pleasur-
able activities during the
daytime usually a period of
about 15 hours. Fasting dur-
ing the Islamic holy month
of Ramadan is one of the Five
Pillars of Islam, but is not con-
fined to that month alone.
Inwardly, Ramadan is
likewise a very special time
for introspection, medita-
tion, self-control, charitable
activities, spirituality, and, of
course, devotion to God. The
occasion being one of prayers
and self-denial, is especially
a time for the purification of
the body and soul. This is also
the time of the year in which
Muslims revisit their holy
book, the Quran.
According to tradition,
the Quran was sent down
during Ramadan to the low-
est heaven and revealed to
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
to provide guidance for the
people.
According to one of the
Hadith of Prophet Mohamed
(PBUH) during the Holy
month of Ramadan, the gates
of Heaven would open and
the gates of Hell (Jahannam)
would be closed. The term
Hadth denotes a saying, act
or tacit approval ascribed to
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
and are important tools for
understanding the Quran and
Islamic law.
Ramadan occurs at differ-
ent times of the year, accord-
ing to the lunar calendar. Dur-
ing this period, there are two
formal meals, eaten where
possible, among family mem-
bers and friends: the So-
hour, eaten just before dawn,
and the Iftar, which is par-
taken just after sunset.
Devout Muslims, who
have the opportunity, tradi-
tionally pass a major part of
the day in the mosques and go
to sleep at very late hours.
Eid ul-Fitr marks the end
of the month of Ramadan. Fitr
means to break, and signifies
the breaking of the fasting pe-
riod and of all evil habits. It is
a show of joy at attaining spir-
itual prosperity after a month
of fasting. The holy month of
Ramadan, which culminates
into the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr,
unites all Muslims in fasting,
feasting, worship and prayer.
It is a time for contemplation,
spirituality, peace and broth-
erhood.
