Center in the Park has a track record of participation in community-based research projects, most recently, having conducted Beat the Blues, a community-based depression intervention study.

Lynn Fields Harris, CIP Executive Director, said that ―In the past, African Americans have been reluctant to participate in research, so there is a lack of information on how mental health and wellness issues affect African American elders. This project gives the CIP community an important opportunity to contribute to knowledge about aging and programs for minority elders with mild memory problems. Hold That Thought builds on CIP‘s experience with implementing evidence-based programs.‖

Voucher programs offer fresh produce to seniors and mothers

Each summer, the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program

provides vouchers redeemable for fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs to senior citizens at approved local farmers markets, roadside stands and community-supported agriculture programs.

The program provides low-income seniors with four vouchers, totaling $20, which they can exchange for Pennsylvania-grown produce. To qualify for the program, individuals must be 60 or older by December 31, 2011, with a total household income before taxes of less than $20,147 for a single person and $27,214 for a couple, based on 2010 income. Proof of age and residency is required. To find out what senior centers are providing vouchers across the city, contact the PCA help line at 215-765-9040.

The vouchers will be made available at the

Philadelphia Senior Center,

Broad and Lombard

from 2pm to 4pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays starting July 11th until they run out.

For information about voucher distribution at the Philadelphia Senior Center, contact Charles Brown at 215-546-5879.

A searchable list of participating farmers markets can be found here.

A similar program, the state's Farmers Market Nutrition Program, offers food for low-income women who are pregnant or who have a child up to age 5 who is at nutritional risk. Both programs run now through November 30th.

GREEN PIECE

40 Easy Ways to Go Greener at Home – Besides Recycling

1. Plant an herb garden. It‘s good to have a reminder around of where our food originates.

2. Switch all your lightbulbs to CFLs (or at least switch a few).

3. Create a homemade compost bin for $15.

4. Switch one appliance to an energy efficient model (look for the ―energy star‖ label).

5. Stop using disposable bags – order some reusable bags, or make your own. My favorites are Envirosax and Flip & Tumble.

6. Buy an inexpensive reusable water bottle, and stop buying plastic disposable bottles. Then watch The Story of Bottled Water, a short movie about the bottled water phenomena.

7. Wash laundry in cold water instead of hot.

8. Turn off lights when you leave the room.

9. Don‘t turn on lights at all for as long as you can — open your curtains and enjoy natural light.

10. Drive the speed limit, and combine all your errands for the week in one trip.

Source: http://simplemom.net/tips-to-go-green-at-home/

11. Better yet, walk or ride a bike to your errands that are two miles or closer.

12. Support your local economy and shop at your farmer‘s market.

13. Turn off your computer completely at night.

14. Research whether you can sign up for green power from your utility company.

15. Pay as many bills as possible online.

16. Put a stop to unsolicited mail — sign up to opt out of pre-screened credit card offers. While you‘re at it, go ahead and make sure you‘re on the ―do not call‖ list, just to make your life more peaceful.

17. Reuse scrap paper. Print on two sides, or let your kids color on the back side of used paper.

18. Conduct a quick energy audit of your home.

19. Subscribe to good eco-friendly blogs. My favorites are The Daily Green, TreeHugger, and Keeper of the Home. Of course, you gotta subscribe to Simple Organic.

20. Before buying anything new, first check your local Craigslist or Freecycle.

21. Support local restaurants that use food derived less than 100 miles away, and learn more about the benefits of eating locally.

22. Fix leaky faucets.

23. Make your own household cleaners. I‘ve got quite a few recipes in

Page 11

A reading man and woman is a ready man and woman, but a writing man and woman is exact. Marcus Garvey

Coalition members! Get ‗Your‘ web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site

my e-book.

24. Line dry your laundry.

25. Watch The Story of Stuff with your kids, and talk about the impact your household trash has on our landfills.

26. Learn with your kids about another country or culture, expanding your knowledge to other sides of the world.

28. Lower the temperature on your hot water heater.

29. Unplug unused chargers and appliances.

30. Repurpose something – turn one of your well-worn t-shirts into basic play pants for your baby. Or save egg cartons for paint wells, seed starters, treasure boxes, or a myriad of other crafts.

31. Collect rainwater, and use it to water your houseplants and garden.

32. Switch to cloth diapers – or at least do a combination with disposables.

33. Switch to shade-grown coffee with the ―Fair Trade‖ label.

34. Use a Diva Cup for your monthly cycles.

35. Use cloth instead of paper to clean your kitchen. Be frugal, and make these rags out of old towels and t-shirts.

36. Use cloth napkins daily instead of paper.

37. Read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, and open your eyes to the way conventional food is processed. Watch Food, Inc. while you‘re at it.

38. Repurpose glass jars as leftover containers and bulk storage, especially in the kitchen.

39. Five-minute showers – make it a goal for yourself.

40. Donate to – and shop at – thrift stores such as Goodwill. You‘ll be recycling perfectly usable items, and you‘ll be supporting your local economy.

Get Fresh!

Volunteer with Philabundance Fresh for All

You recycle out the wazoo and consider yourself

consigliore of the enviro-sack mafia.

Hence, a cause you can believe in: Philabundance wants to fill those ubiquitous bags with produce through its new Fresh for All programs.

And you can help by volunteering.

The nonprofit hands out perishables at six sites in the

Delaware Valley — where nutritious diet staples are hard to come by, especially in tough times.

With a minimum three-hour commitment, you‘ll keep busy. Help with admin, approve clients, or do community outreach

(posting mailings, making phone calls).

Looking for something physical?

Take food to sites, divide apples, and dole out the goods. You‘ll be doing a major part to help people get the fruits and veggies they need.

And that‘s a green movement to be proud of.

To participate in Fresh for All, contact

Tunisia Garnett (215-339-0900 ext. 238 or

SpotLight On Our Efforts

Dear Friend and Supporter,

We have an urgent request: Help send our 300 math literacy workers ―back to schools‖ in Mississippi, Boston, Chicago, Michigan, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Ohio, and Southern IL where they will inspire young people to develop their math skills and advocate for an education that ensures their readiness for college.

For 15 years, the

Young People‟s Project (YPP)

has worked with more than 15,000 young people who might otherwise have become victims of failed education systems. Today we employ 15 trainers across our national network who train 300 high school and college students to become Math Literacy Workers (MLW) who teach math to over 1,500 elementary and middle school students in out of school settings annually. At least 90% of our math literacy workers graduate from high school and 60% enter college. YPP can count several math educators and math majors among its graduates.

YPP is a bulwark against inadequate schools that produce a tide of poorly educated youth whose talents and capacity to fully contribute to their communities is being squandered. In communities where we work the need is great:

In NYC only 37% of all students were college ready after four years of high school and half of those deemed college ready graduated from only 20 of the 360 schools reporting.

In New York State, only 13% of Black students and 15% of Hispanic high school graduates were ready for college. (NYTimes, June 15, 2011) Nationally 60% of Black men who don‘t graduate from high school end up in the prison system.

In the California State University system 58% of all students who meet college entrance requirements must remediate math and English in their first year of college, and at some schools it is as high as 91%.

Math is a gateway to college readiness and success. The odds of graduating from college increase dramatically for students who go beyond Algebra II. Taking Trigonometry increases the odds of earning a bachelors degree to almost 4:1, Precalculus to 6:1, and Calculus to 8:1. However fewer than 43% of students in the lowest SES quintile attend schools that offer calculus, and only 63% attend schools that offer Trigonometry. YPP‘s work is a powerful model for improving educational and social outcomes particularly for poor students and students of color.

20% of former MLW reported that YPP increased their interest and confidence to pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), and 39% reported YPP helped them improve their math grades in school. 83% of former MLW say YPP helped them to develop public speaking abilities and hone their leadership skills.

YPP is recognized as a leading organization by its peers. In 2005 it received and administered a 5-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to develop a train-the-trainer program. In 2010 it received a 3-year NSF/ITEST grant to participate in a research project on bridging math and computer programming.

The goal of our ―Back to School‖ campaign is to raise $180,000 by October 31.

We already have the commitment of a long-time supporter to raise $60,000. The YPP Board and staff have committed to raising an additional $60,000 through their networks. We need your support to raise the remaining $60,000 to maintain our current programs and over the next year deepen and expand our work. With your help we will:

Train 12 additional trainers qualified to train college and high school math literacy workers who in turn run YPP programs on college and high school campuses across the country;

COMING UP

Shale Gas Outrage Rally

WHEN: Wednesday September 7, 2011 from 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

WHERE: Center City Philadelphia, Arch St., between Broad and 13th Streets; In front of the Pennsylvania Convention Center

This demonstration being led by the environmental group "Protecting Our Waters" is in response to the Marcellus Shale Coalition‘s major conference in Philadelphia on Sept. 7th and 8th. CEOs from major fracking companies will be plotting to expand their poisonous operations in PA, NY, OH, MD, WV, VA, and NJ. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and former governors Tom Ridge and Ed Rendell will be speaking in support of the industry. Dubbed ―Shale Gas Insight,‖ this is not only a key trade show for the industry, but also a brazen expression of its political muscle.

Appearing: Josh Fox, Director of the Oscar-nominated ―Gasland;‖ Al Appleton, internationally respected water systems expert; impacted families from ―shale country‖; organizers fighting for the life of the Delaware River watershed, the commonwealth, the Marcellus Shale region, and the nation; and elected officials who have championed the cause of clean water, clean air, and human health. Additionally, a spiritual singer, comedian, and high-energy musicians will lift up our spirits in such serious times.

Why: Maximizing the sheer numbers attending this rally on September 7th will show a broad-based popular movement that will not tolerate contamination of our air, water, and earth by dirty drilling, or the corruption of our politicians by industry money. We will demand that not one more family be poisoned by fracking and shale gas extraction.

SECOND ANNUAL COMMEMORATION OF

NAT TURNER‟S SLAVE REBELLION

At 3:00 PM on Sunday, August 21,

the People's Organization for Progress, together with the Friends of Nat Turner, will celebrate the 180th Anniversary of the slave rebellion which Turner led in South Hampton County, Virginia in 1831. During Turner's uprising on August 21, he and his supporters killed 56 slave owners and their murderous henchmen, marking the revolt as the rebellion with the highest number of white fatalities in the Antebellum South.

Newark's Nat Turner Park,

where the anniversary demonstration will take place, is located between

18th and Muhammad Ali Avenues in Newark's Central Ward, also bordered by Bergen & Livingston Streets, adjacent to the Hayes Park West Recreation area, as well as Central High School.

"NatTurner Park in Newark is certainly unique in honoring this important battle against oppression in our history," Larry Hamm, chairman of the People's Organization for Progress explained. "We have an obligation to make certain that our young people know the full story of this heroic insurrection," he added.

"We look forward to making this a yearly event!"

Newark residents and activists are invited to join POP and the Friends of Nat Turners Park, with drums and wearing African attire for this important celebration of our heritage.

For more information please contact Lois Thomas, President of Friends of Nat Turner Park at 973-242-2809, Elizabeth McGrady at 973-484-7951 or 973-801-0001.

Comcast unveils new plan to combat digital divide

Comcast has announced that it will begin offering a new service, Internet Essentials, in time for the 2011-12 school year. This initiative will directly address the major barriers that many in our communities face for in-home broadband adoption: affordability and lack of digital literacy. In today‘s world, it is important for everyone to be digitally literate. Broadband adoption is vital for our communities because it helps improve our children‘s education, our local economy, and the ability for members of our communities to find jobs and benefit from opportunities available online. Comcast Internet Essentials will provide eligible families with: -- Affordable home Internet service ($9.95 per month) -- A low-cost computer ($149.99 plus taxes) -- Access to free internet training – online, in print and in classroom (at established community training sites) Internet Essentials will be available everywhere that Comcast offers its high-speed Internet service. Students in more than 4,000 school districts in 39 states and the District of Columbia will be able to participate. Comcast will accept new Internet Essentials participants for at least three years, through the end of the 2013-14 school year. Any household that qualifies during this three-year period will remain eligible for Internet Essentials, provided the household still qualifies for the program, until that child graduates from high school.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Are these manufacturer coupons or coupons that I print on my computer?

Q: Can these coupons be doubled? A: Yes. These are manufacturer issued coupons and may be doubled in any store that offers double coupons.

Q: What are the face values and the expiration dates of these coupons? A: Being manufacturer coupons, the manufactuer determines the face values of the coupons. We currently stock coupons ranging in value from 40 cents to 5.00 dollars. The coupon expiration dates are generally valid for 90 days.

Q: How can I use $1,000.00 worth of coupons in 90 days? A: With our program, you get to choose the coupons you want, when you want them. This way you never have to worry about the coupons expiring.
