T
he tortured train
of thought for this
opinion piece be-
gan at Sen. Anthony Wil-
liams’ public gathering on
urban violence last Monday
night at Anderson Elementary
School on 58th Street.
One of the speakers was
the persuasive Mark Tem-
ple, executive director of the
Youth Study Center at 48th
Street and Haverford Avenue.
His new $110 million Ju-
venile Justice Services Center
in West Philly was opened
last December and at the
ribbon cutting, Temple was
quoted as saying, “Our kids
deserve the best…”You can’t
get them on the right track
by putting them in some run-
down place.” The design of
the center included provision
for housing up to 150 young-
sters below age 18 for lengths
of stay ranging from a few
days pending adjudication to
several months.

The creation of this ex-
pensive facility for such lim-
ited numbers youth on short
term confinement is again a
source of frustration when
we are faced with the clos-
ing of 30 or so neighborhood
schools to reduce expenses
and the Mayor’s demands for
cuts in teacher and school
employee salaries and ben-
efits. While we agree with
Temple that the efforts to put
adjudicated youngsters “on
the right track” is worth a
lot, it places in stark contrast
the plight of the kids who are
behaving themselves and try-
ing to learn in our decrepit
100-year old high-rise public
schools in Southwest.
There are many consid-
erations to be weighed as city
government decides today
on school closings and the
state legislators act on the
state budget for 2014. One of
them was highlighted by the
data revealed in the Annie E.
Casey Foundation report en-
titled “Kids Count – Reducing
Youth Incarceration,” released
last month.
In reaching its conclu-
sions and recommendations,
Kids Count drew from sta-
tistics published in a 2011
AECF report “No Place for
Kids” which revealed was
that Pennsylvanian was only
one of five states in the U.S.
showing an increase the rate
of incarceration for young
men and women between
1997 and 2012.
Pennsylvania recorded
an increase from 3,963 youth
in a detention center at any
one time (296 per 100,000)
to 4,134 (316 per 100,000) in
the 13-year period. While
not large, this 7% rise was to-
tally at variance with the na-
tional decline of 41 percent,
and particularly worrisome
when compared with other
populous states. California
and New York, the two larg-
est states, showed declines of
48 percent and 42 percent re-
spectively.
It is noteworthy that
the AECF report found that
of the day-count of 70,792
youth under age 18 recorded
as confined in 2011, “7,560
were held in adult jails, and
another 2,295 were in adult
prisons.”
“No Place for Kids”
pointed out that “This [na-
tional] decline has not led to
a surge in juvenile crime. On
the contrary, crime has fall
sharply as juvenile just sys-
tems have locked up fewer
delinquent youth. The pub-
lic is safer, youth are being
treated less punitively and
more humanely and govern-
ments are saving money be-
cause juvenile justice systems
are reducing their reliance on
confinement… Wholesale in-
carceration of young people
is generally a counterproduc-
tive public policy.” And yet
the detention rate of common-
wealth kids is growing.
We would add a further
observation. The state gov-
ernment in Harrisburg has
short changed the public
school system for more than
three decades. After seeing
through the long-overdue
passage of the public school
funding formula four years
ago, Gov. Rendell failed to
press forward with second
and most critically needed
step, divorcing school finan-
cial support from property
taxes.
Now we have a governor
and a state legislature bent on
further undercutting the edu-
cation of urban and rural chil-
dren by refusing to comply
with section 13 of the state
constitution which requires
that “the General Assembly
shall provide for the mainte-
nance and support of a thor-
ough and efficient system of
public education to serve the
needs of the Commonwealth.”

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR HEART?
M
ost residents in
Philadelphia are
concerned about
the application of the Actual
Value Initiative and the re-
sulting changes in their prop-
erty valuation and the tax bill
that will result from it.
Through the thought-
ful efforts of Bob Lukens at
the Philadelphia Legal Assis-
tance, residents were advised
of an amazing interactive
website made available by
Axis Philly to residents and
businesses that shows the key
details of virtually all proper-
ties in the city:
http://apps.axisphilly.org/
avi-map/#/17/39.963/-75.143
The process of
accessing the infor-
mation is not diffi-
cult for people with
some computer skills
and internet access.
For those who don’t
own computers, free
internet access is
available at our four
local libraries and
at the computer lab
at Southwest CDC,
6328 Paschall Avenue
(215-729-0800).
Once on the web-
site, property owners
type in their address,
and hit “go.” Then they in-
crease the size of the map (+
and – in the upper left corner
of the screen), and when the
property can be clearly iden-
tified, place the cursor arrow
on the address, and the fol-
lowing information
pops up on the screen
(example).

Lukens advised
property owners to
apply for a “First
Level Review” by March 31 if
they felt the property value as
calculated by AVI was out of
line. The comparative valu-
ations of neighboring proper-
ties are easy to determine by
accessing the website men-
tioned above and pushing the
cursor arrow up and down
one’s street to other house
numbers.

ing a face-to-face conference

process, the Homestead Exemption,
the First-Level Review process, and
other questions about the real estate

versions of these videos are also avail-
able. Other language versions of the
brochures and forms are also avail-
able by calling 215-686-9200 or from
the OPA website.
“Keep in mind that these tax fig-
ures are for the 2014 tax year,” re-
minded Lukens. “Folks should pay
their 2013 property tax before the end
of March, unless it’s escrowed by a
mortgage lender.”
As many Southwest residents al-
ready realize, the “Homestead Exemp-
tion” would allow homeowners who
live in the houses to deduct $30,000
from the new market value of their
residence. This will have a dramatic
effect on the actual taxes to be paid – if
the city council passes the exemption.
City council is weighing the AVI
approach and Councilmen Bill Green
and Jim Kenney have submitted a bill
to eliminate the homestead exception
“I don’t see the public policy rationale
… you pay a whole lot less taxes be-
cause you live in a much lower value
home even though you’re absorbing
the same amount of city services as
somebody who lives in a much higher
value city home,” Green said. “So it’s
already progressive, because, presum-
ably, you’re living in a home based on
what you can afford.”
Southwest councilman Kenyatta
Johnson indicated that he was not
supportive of Green’s and Kenney’s
efforts to get rid of the homestead ex-
ception. Councilwoman Blackwell’s
office was unavailable for comment.
“We also encourage everyone to
apply for the Homestead Exemption
by July 31, 2013 - if they haven’t done
so already,” added Lukens, assuming
it would be passed by city council.
“The notice from the city simply in-
dicates whether or not they feel prop-
erty owners qualify. If the notice says
“no” under the homestead box, an
application should be made immedi-
ately in writing or on line at https://
opaphila.org/homestead/OPAConfir-
mation.aspx).

onstituents who need
assistance with tax re-

local issues are invited to an up-
coming mobile constituent service
and tax preparation event hosted
by state Sen. Anthony H. Williams
on Monday, March 11 from 4 to
8 p.m. at the Yeadon Library, 809
Longacre Blvd. in Yeadon.
The tax preparation help will
be provided by volunteers from
Pathways PA a non-profit organi-
zation which provides a range of
residential and community-based
programs, including tax help, so-
cial services, job training and em-
ployment assistance to over 6,000
women, children and families
each year.
With offices throughout South-
eastern Pennsylvania, PathWays
PA provides programs committed
to the development of client self-
sufficiency. Pathways PA is also a
leading advocate on behalf of low-
wage workers statewide.
Sen. Williams’ staffers will be
on hand to help constituents with
driver’s license and automobile
registration issues, senior SEPTA
transit pass information, unemploy-
ment and public assistance issues,
PECO or AQUA issues and more.

“My staff and I are proud to offer
assistance and solve problems for
constituents. Since we realize that
not everyone can get to our offices
on Island Avenue, this is a conve-
nient opportunity for them to speak
with my staff about issues,” Wil-
liams said.

PathWays PA volunteers will
help constituents prepare their in-
come tax returns (1040EZ, Form
1040A, or basic Form 1040 federal
tax returns). Individuals should
bring their ID and Social Security
card; copies of their 2012 receipts or
receipts showing all property, coun-
ty and school taxes are paid for 2012
(year-end mortgage statements are
acceptable if individuals’ taxes are
paid through their mortgage); and
statements of income, including So-
cial Security, pensions and employ-
ment. For direct deposit, individuals
should bring their checking or sav-
ings account number and bank rout-
ing number.

Space is limited so RSVP by call-
ing the Yeadon Library at 610-623-
4090.
Sen. Williams’ Tax Preparation Event

cently pointed out that the Governor
is emphasizing his increase the state
contribution to public school educa-
tion next year by $90 million when he
sliced $900 million out of the funding
two years ago. “This means it will take
10 years to make up for what he has
already cut,” said Rep. Roebuck.
The inadequate funding by the
state which must take up a third of
the cost of the school district is a di-
rect cause for closing schools which
should have been replaced years ago,
and has also led to Mayor Nutter’s de-
mand for a 13 percent give back on
teacher salaries and benefits.
According to Benjamin Herald’s
article “No Diploma, No Jobs,” in the
Notebook last month, “In Kensington
and Eastern North Philadelphia, the
unemployment rate for young adult
dropouts is close to 50 percent.” The
2012 data indicates that 4-year gradua-
tion rate in Philadelphia schools is still
only at 63 percent.
There you have it. The end of
the train of thought: less pay for teach-
ers, closing of antiquated, underutilized
schools, high dropout rates, high young
adult unemployment, a youth detention
population that is increasing.
It’s a sad tale and it’s getting worse.
As state Sen. Vincent Hughes wrote to
School Reform
Commission chair Pedro Ramos on
February 28, 2013, “It is time for you
to recognize Governor Corbett’s failure
to fully fund public education, and to
publicly request more dollars from Har-
risburg. As his representative on the
School Reform Commission, if you are
not informing him of the crisis that he
caused and strongly advocating for ad-
ditional funding, then you are complicit
in his failure to act.”
If you agree with Sen. Hughes, tell
Gov. Corbett himself. His phone num-
ber in Harrisburg is 717-787-2500. His
Philadelphia regional office number is
215-560-2640, and you can write him an
email at www.governor.state.pa.us Mr.
Ramos phone number is 215-400-4010.

he 906Works organization
will hold its second Saving
our Sonz (SOS) workshop for
young men from ages 7 – 14 on Satur-
day, March 9.
Doors at the 46th Street Baptist
Church will open at 12:00 noon and the
entire session is free for the boys and for
their parents.
“The Workshop is open to boys of
all ages and their parents and/or care-
givers,” advises Rob Bell, founder and
director of 906Works and creator of the
SOS approach to engaging the young
people in life skills training.
As with the first such session on
December 8 at 46th Street Baptist, the
afternoon session will feature a series of
stations where the youngsters will meet
and dialogue with men from the com-
munity on various subjects – all even-
tually focusing on what it takes to be a
young leader in our community.
In addition, there will be several
panel discussions on leadership devel-
opment, earning self respect, positive
thinking, communication, and giving
back to communities through service.
“We hope that parents and caregiv-
ers will join in the break-out sessions
and provide their input, too,”
Reflecting on the last SOS meeting,
local professional musician Lawrence
Perry noted, “We adults were surprised
at the way our views and feelings
seemed so important and meaningful
to the boys.”
Bell expressed his sincere thanks
again to the 46th Street Baptist Church

ore than 100 local resi-
dents attended the “Vio-
lence Reduction Initia-
tive” community meeting Thursday
evening, February 21 at Anderson El-
ementary School, located at 60th St.
and Cobbs Creek Parkway.
Sen. Williams introduced a num-
ber of key leaders who are intimately
involved in activities and services
within West and Southwest Philadel-
phia. Many of the initiatives are fo-
cused on young men and women who
are usually the both the targets and
perpetrators of violence – particularly
gun related incidents.
One of the first speakers was Ron-
ald C. Brown, Sr., father of Ivan “Tic”
Brown a victim of street violence in
2004 while was working as a youth
mentor at Myers Recreation Center.
The Memorial Foundation which
Ron Brown Sr. and the Brown family
founded in honor of his son has been
a vital link with youth in West and
Southwest. Sen. Williams particu-
larly noted the inspiration and guid-
ance provided in connection with the
frequent area-wide basketball tourna-
ments the foundation sponsors. It is
this kind of efforts that not only get
young people off the streets and into
healthy group activities that is essen-
tial to reducing violence in the com-
munity.
Also recognized by the affable
Senator was Mark Temple, executive
director of the Youth Study Center at
48th Street and Haverford Avenue.
Temple outlined the extensive pro-
grams available for adjudicated youth
at the new Juvenile Justice Services
Center which opened last December.
The senator for his part men-
tioned the great contribution that the
Recreation and Parks Department is
doing through the range of programs it
sponsors through recreation centers.
“Not only basketball leagues but also
mentoring and after school activities,”
he stressed.
“We’ve got to leave our silos and
start working together,” said Williams.
“It requires an entire community to
overcome violence. We have to get the
neighborhoods come out if we’re go-
ing to get our collective arms around
the problem.
“Getting the guns off the streets
is important, but we have to generate
better family and community dynam-
ics and offer realistic educational and
career placement opportunities, par-
ticularly to ex offenders.

M
arch 2013 is a special
time for persons of faith
who are concerned with
the incidence of HIV/AIDS in South-
west, and for that matter with the na-
tional and wolrdwide epidemic of this
dread disease.
- March 3 – 9 National Week of
Prayer for the Healing of AIDS
- March 10 National Women & Girls
HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
The National Week of Prayer for
the Healing of AIDS which began
March 3rd has been mobilizing faith
communities to promote HIV aware-
ness, education, testing and healing.
These communities have been com-
bining prayer and testing as primary
means of dealing with the dread dis-
ease.
Sunday, March 10, National
Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Aware-
ness Day promotes this year’s theme
“Share Knowledge. Take Action.” is
the theme for this year, and seeks to
emphasize HIV’s impact on women
and girls.
Philadelphia’s HIV/AIDS occur-
ance (1.1%) is more than five times the
national and state averages, and the
Kingsessing area is one of the national
“hot spots” for sexually transmitted
diseases according to last year’s June
25th Philadelphia CityPaper.
For this reason, an intensive test-
ing program was initiated in zip code
19143 last March by Brown Univer-
sity and its local partners, the Health
Annex and Neighborhood United
Against Drugs, The target for the pro-
gram known as “Do One Thing” was
to test 5000 local residents. Free, con-
fidential testing was undertaken at the
Health Annex at Woodland Avenue
and 60th Street and at a mobile testing
van which has been deployed three
days a week at high traffic locations
(see the Community Bulletin Board on
page 8 of this Globe Times issue).
According to Emily Nichols, di-
rector of operations at Health Annex,
a branch of Family Practice and Coun-
seling, the program provided a vital
means of raising community aware-
ness and getting her staff involved
with an imporant area of preventative
health care.
“Our goal, within the Do One
Thing target, was to test 1700 of our
patients,” advised Nichols. “We were
gratified to have actually performed
tests on some 2100 of whom about 0.5
percent showed positive for the dis-
ease.
Dr. Amy Nunn, assistant professor
of medicine at Brown and executive
director of Do One Thing was grati-
fied to report that the testing would
continue for another year under the
extension of a grant from the Gilead
Sciences pharmaceutical company.
Nunn also founded Philly Faith in Ac-
tion in 2011, a partnership with over
local 70 clergy members who work to-
gether to address the high racial dis-
parity in HIV infection.
The Health Annex is located at
6120-B Woodland Avenue, 2nd Floor
in the Woodland Plaza shopping mall.
Its weekday hours are 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. and it can be reached by
phone at 215-727-4721.
Neighborhood United Against
Drugs has been the leader in the fight
against HIV/AIDS in Southwest for
two decades. It is located at 5214
Woodland Avenue and can be con-
tacted at 215-724-7430.
Philly Faith in Action makes
available a wide range of information
brochures and worship inserts for
churches, synagogues and Mosques.

E
veryone works for
money – except for
all those wonder-
ful volunteers. The challenge
for wage earners, however, is
to make their money work for
them.
For the last six years, sev-
eral dozen Southwest resi-
dents have been learning to do
just that! They are members
of the Cornerstone “Common
Cents” investment club that
meets monthly at Cornerstone
Christian Academy at the cor-
ner of Kingsessing Ave. and
58th Street.
Despite the downturn
in the economy, the mem-
bers have earned an average
of about 8% growth per year.
Some have come close to dou-
bling their original investment
– That’s something in these
tough economic times.
Members don’t need any
“up-front” money to belong
and every cent that is invested
remains in their individual ac-
counts. They just agree to salt
away at least $20 per month
and then watch the money
grow.
But the greatest emphasis
is placed on learning. At each
monthly Cornerstone Com-
mon Cents meeting, members
study and discuss corpora-
tions that supply goods and
services they believe would
be a good investment for the
combined funds: comput-
er and GPS manufacturers,
canned food makers, mining
companies, oil producers, and
of course, fast food suppli-
ers like McDonalds and Star-
bucks coffee.
The all-time champ of in-
vestment choices was one of
the first. A small purchase of
Apple technology stock has
grown almost 4 times since it
was bought 5 years ago.
Having one’s money work
is the “secret” for accumulat-
ing financial assets and build-
ing wealth.
Currently, Cornerstone
Common Cents has 16 mem-
bers who all participate in
deciding where to put their
money. Each investment can-
didate’s financial results and
reports are researched and
compared with competitors
before the investment is made.
It is stressed that when buying
stock in a company, Corner-
stone Common Cents mem-
bers are becoming share own-
ers and not just share holders.
Cornerstone Common Cents
members then vote on wheth-
er they want to become a part
owner of a product or service
that the company provides.
Many people reach re-
tirement age without having
accumulated assets to enjoy
their leisure years. Corner-
stone Common Cents is an op-
portunity to learn and trans-
late one’s hard earned money
into a sound financial founda-
tion to use before or after re-
tirement.
Cornerstone Common
Cents is open to anyone. Each
member is expected to attend
meetings held generally on the
third Tuesday of each month
at 4:30 P.M. at Cornerstone.
For more information,
phone Donna Henry at 215-
729-7441 at Southwest Com-
munity Development Corpo-
ration.
Using Money to Make More Money
M
ayor Michael Nutter an-
nounced this week that
the city has extended the
US Airways’ lease at Philadelphia In-
ternational Airport for an added two
years until June, 2015.

The agreement will allow for $734
million in new capital investments to
create a better customer experience
throughout the airport that serves
as US Airways’ largest international
gateway.
Projects to be done under the
terms of the lease include adding a
1,500-foot extension to a key runway
which will allow it to handle long-
haul aircraft flying anywhere in the
world and improvements to the Ter-
minal B and C ticketing area with a
new, automated baggage-handling and
screening system and a more spacious
security screening checkpoint.
Other improvements include re-
placement of surface rental car lots
with a multistory facility and initial
design of a people-mover system be-
tween concourses.
In addition, according to Mayor
Nutter’s announcement, moving ahead
with these major projects will have
a significant impact on the regional
economy through job creation and con-
struction opportunities at the airport.

O
liver “Ali” Robin-
son, longtime activ-
ist and member of
the Williams family dynasty of
public servants succumbed to
cancer March 4, 2013 at the age
of 64.
The youngest of five chil-
dren, he worked hard to live up
to the examples set by his elder
brothers, especially political
pioneer Hardy Williams.
Even more, he applied the
teachings of his mother, Fran-
ces “Mom” Williams, renowned
for championing “the people’s
business.” As the Civil Rights
Movement evolved from sit-ins
and picket signs to Afros and
raised fists, “Ollie” soon be-
came known as “Ali,” and con-
tinued to fight for racial equal-
ity and political justice.
Given their relatively close
proximity in age, state Sen.
Anthony Hardy Williams said
that as a youngster, he used to
address Robinson by his first
name. As he grew older real-
ized how much the title “uncle”
meant to Robinson, so that’s
what he called him from then
on. “He was a stalwart in our
family and our organizational
structure, a fellow civil rights
warrior,” Williams said. “I’m
going to miss my uncle and his
presence in my life.”
A 1967 graduate of West
Philadelphia High School,
Robinson went on to study at
Howard University in Washing-
ton DC. Returning to Philadel-
phia, he joined Hardy Williams’
1971 mayoral campaign which
shook up local and national
party politics forever. He con-
tinued to apply his organizing
talents from the Dr. W. Wilson
Goode Sr. mayoral campaigns
in the 1980s to that of state Rep.
Jordan Harris just last year.
“He was an architect. Even
before there were computers,
Ali was the best Election Day
statistician in the city,” said
Lynette Brown-Sow. “He had a
gift.”
His lifelong passion was
community empowerment, and
he regularly offered a willing
hand at the grassroots level, es-
pecially with young people.
At Crisis Intervention
Network, he was part of the
team that led one of the most
effective youth violence inter-
vention programs in the city’s
history. The People’s Institute
he co-founded helped provide
services to young people, while
Blacks Networking for Progress
did the same for older ones. He
applied his skills as a commu-
nity organizer for Model Cit-
ies of North Philadelphia and
remained an active member of
the Kingsessing
On the premise that an in-
formed people are an engaged
people, he founded and pub-
lished the Southwest News,
sharing uplifting stories about
his neighbors with the local
community.
In 1992, the Rendell Ad-
ministration honored Robinson
with the Philadelphia Pride
Award.
“He gave a lot to the com-
munity, but at the end of the
day, he was still a dad and a
granddad,” said his daugh-
ter, Kya Kamil Robinson. “He
enjoyed listening to baseball
while driving in the car taking
trips and taught the game to our
youngest sister, Alia, and his
grandkids.”
“And he always had a
word of encouragement,” Kya
Kamil continued. “He gave us
unconditional love and support
as we pursued our career and
life paths. And we loved him
for it.”
In addition to daughter Kya
Kamil Robinson, Oliver Wil-
liams is survived by another
daughter, Afrika Mona Strong;
brothers Jimmy Williams and
wife, Gloria, Freddie Williams
and wife, Ernestine, and Teddy
Williams; his sister, Barbara
Williams; and his grandchil-
dren, Alexus and Ervon Schul-
tz Jr.
Also left to mourn him are
his companion, Wanda Mos-
ley, a brother-like cousin, Carl
Lacy and his wife, Rose, Clar-
ence Jones, a close friend of
51 years, and a host of nieces,
nephews, cousins and other
loving friends.
A viewing will be held Fri-
day from 9 to 11 a.m. at Mount
Zion Baptist Church, 1411 S.
50th St. Funeral services will
immediately follow. Interment
will be at the West Laurel Hill
