“Good Times” Here Again
Uncle Salaam
WANTS YOU
On 60th Street
The 60th Street Business
Association is holding a community announcement on
Sat. Nov. 21st at 1:00pm to
encourage residents to patronize and support local
businesses.
This event will be held
on the parking lot of Super
Clean Laundromat on 60th
and Locust Streets. The public is encouraged to attend.
Vendors and merchants
will be on hand to display the
products and explain the services they provide local consumers. Turkey baskets will
be raffled to 10 lucky families and free refreshments
will be served and live entertainment will be provided by
Brian Evans.
“During these tough economic times, it makes cents to
spend where you live,” said

G. Waters, “it’s the businesses

usually doesn’t report on
events that occur outside the
West Philadelphia area, but
we felt the people in this picture at right were very special.
They were in Philly recently at the Liacorour Center at an art show sponsored
by October Gallery.
Many of us grew up
watching the Evans, family,
JJ “Dyn-o-mite” Evans and
his TV brother, Michael and
sister, Thelma, go through
some hard times in their Chicago project home with their
parents, John Amos and the
late Esther Rolle.
“Good Times,” ran from
1974 to 1979, is now in syndication and can be seen almost daily on cable TV.
How are they doing now?
Bern Nadette Stanis
was the quick witted, sexy
savvy and the original “It”
girl, Thelma Evans, from the
groundbreaking, first African
in your neighborhood that hire
the people who live in the
neighborhood itself.”
“You never know what’s
in your own neighborhood
unless you go look,” said
Abdul Salaam, president of
the 60th Street Business As-
Our Turkey Bowl Prediction
West 27; Overbrook 24
By Tyree Johnson
Editor/Publisher
It’s been a tough year for
the neighborhood’s two high
school football teams. Neither made the playoffs. The
West Philadelphia Speedboys
finished the year at 5W-5L;
while the Overbrook Panthers
ended with a 1W-9L record.
However, it will be on
Thanksgiving Day that will
define these two teams’ year.
That’s when they will meet
for the 83rd time to win the
neighborhood bragging
rights.
Both teams have one
thing in common during their
gridiron season - both lost to
the University City Jaguars.
“West is in a tougher division,” said Overbrook
Coach Patrick O’Hara that
includes the schools that usually make the playoffs and
the championship game.
This year, Overbrook has
running back Robert
Andrews, who as a freshman
has already gained 1,000
yards.
“It’s going to be a hard
fought contest,” said Coach
O’Hara, when both teams will
come to play - and win.
The game starts at 10:30
AM at the West Philadelphia High field, 48th and
Spruce Streets.
An unidentified admirer poses for a picture with
(l-r) Ralph Carter, Jimmie Walker and Bern Nadette
Stanis. Photo by William T. Wade, Jr.
American sitcom, “Good
Times.” Stanis had won a
beauty contest when she was
picked for her role in the
show. Today, she continues
to act and an author of several
books.
Ralph Carter was the
“Black is beautiful” youngster who recorded a hit song
sociation, There are a lot of
things cheaper in your neighborhood than at the malls.
Plus, you don’t have to drive;
you can walk there.”

while on the show. Recently,
he was nominated for a Tony
Award for Best Supporting
or Featured Actor for his role
in the Broadway musical
“Raisin” (based on the
Lorraine Hansberry drama
“A Raisin in the Sun”).
The term “maximizing
one’s potential” could have
been coined to describe the
life of Jimmie Walker, who
strode out of the New York
ghetto first to educate himself and then to become one
of the best-known television
personalities in the United
States.
Although he was casted
as a teenager in the 1970’s
sitcom, Walker was in his 30’s
when he landed the role. Spotted by Norman Lear’s casting
director, Jimmie Walker accepted a part in a new comedy series, “Good Times.”
“Dyn-o-mite!” was the
phrase and it was made famous nationwide. Time
Magazine named him Comedian of the Decade. Walker is
still very popular today performing at clubs, theaters,
corporate events nationwide
and appearing on some TV
game shows.
Goodbye, Rev. Benjamin F. Powell
If you’re reading this
newspaper on Friday, November 20, you might have
time to pay your respects to
the Rev. Benjamin F.
Powell.
The Rev. Powell was
pastor for 28 years at FiftyNinth Street Baptist Church,
315 South 59th Street (near
Pine St.) He died last week
after a long illness.
His viewing is from 1 to
6 PM followed by a onehour Masonic service and a
regular service at 7 PM.
He will be remembered,
said Deacon Albertus Shaw,
as a man of God “who had
an impact not only in this
community, but throughout
the city.”
“He was always good to
the people of West Philadelphia. That’s the way the Lord
wanted us to be,” Deacon
Shaw added.
He said Rev. Powell was
committed to keeping the
church in this community and
bringing in programs that
would help people.
A few years ago, Rev.
Powell justified using the
church’s Martin Luther
King Memorial Garden for
land to build a multi-service center to provide training for the unemployed and
help for needy neighbors.
He told the Westside
Weekly he thought the slain
civil rights leader would
approve of building a center since it could do more
for the people than a garden in his honor.
Rev. Powell was also a
former police officer who
was part of the detail to
guard the city’s first black
mayor - W. Wilson Goode.

Here is some information
that you can add to your vault
of knowledge. Remember:
Each one, Teach one.
Sunscreen lotions and
sunblock creams are unnatural chemical lotions that we
are urged to use to block out
the sun, It is an old rip-off and
the pharmaceutical companies, like the vaccine companies, are getting rich by using the foolproof scare tactics. Sunscreens maybe instrumental in causing melanoma (skin cancer) because
they prevent the skin from
producing Vitamin D. Studies indicate that the melanoma
rates have been linked to the
increase sales and use of sunscreens.
Ginkgo may be helpful
for symptoms of mood imbalance. A few studies regarding memory problems in
older adults showed benefits
for depression.
The more salt you consume the more calcium your
body needs.
Olive leaf extract has the
ability to lower blood pressure.
Callouses can be caused
by poor circulation of the
lower limbs.
Oat Bran drastically reduces cholesterol levels.
Sore throat? Gargle with
sage tea or diluted apple cider vinegar. Sore throat is
usually an indication that you
are not speaking up or speaking your mind.

That way you know all your
food has been digested, and
is not just sitting in your colon fermenting.
Stuffy sinuses? Try a
Neti Pot to clean out your
sinuses. If you do not have a
Neti Pot, use a sports bottle.
Use 3/4 cup of warm water
with an 1/8 of sea salt added
to it. Tilt the bottle into the
nostril, inhale, and blow it
out the other nostril. Do the
other nostril, and stay away
from dairy products.
Make a simple salve for
burns. Take an aloe vera leaf,
clean it, chop it up and add to
blender with three capsules
of Vitamin E oil. You can
add a couple drops of Neem
Oil, too, if you like. Blend
well and put in a jar. Keep in
the refrigerator because it is a
food. Use as needed.
Make an antioxidant fruit
salad for your Thanksgiving
dinner this year. All is takes
is a beautiful bowl, and an
assortment of berries. Your
heart will thank you for this!
Well that’s it for now.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving
Day, and don’t forget to smile.
It makes the heart softer!

sadly informs
the community
of the passing
of their mother and
mother-in-law on November
6th. She was 84.
Although born in Coxsackie, New York in 1915,
Mom Williams has lived in
West Philly since 1957. She
was one of the first African
American women to start a
business in this community.
A cosmetologist, her beauty
saloon is still operating on
the 400 Block of South 60th
Street.
She leaves to cherish her memory, an adopted son,
Gary Williams, six grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren and a host of foster
children, family and friends.
The family wishes to thank all who sent their condolences and prayers in our time of sorrow.
