AND MORE SURPRISES ARE IN STORE ON DAY OF THE EVENT........

WHEN DID 25 BECOME A MILESTONE IN LIFE EXPECTANCY ?

UNPOPULAR POST OF THE DAY: We are burying way too many young men in 2012 in Allentown, PA. Three killings in 3 weeks and it really doesn't matter WHAT the circumstance or WHERE they were from because, either way, LIVES are gone. Those who KNOW me know I love the people of the Allentown  community and have done various events and marches over the years. Unfortunately, it seems they actually do little except provide sound bites or a human interest story for local newspapers and television stations. The question we should be asking is NOT what CONSPIRACY or COVER UP is occurring within our police department or government, but  WHEN will we begin taking responsibility for our own lives ? I believe the tragedy in the most recent death is not HOW he died because, any loss of a human life can be devastating, but that this young man was 23 years old, with a new born daughter, with family in town, yet had no insurance or source of income to take care of his child or the child's mom in the event of his death. Yes, money was gathered to bury him and have a decent funeral, but isn't it the same with everyone ? We always go through the same regularly scheduled actions: We'll have a party at a club or lounge to raise funds; we create, sell, and wear shirts with the victim's face;  hundreds will show up at the funeral crying and talking about the "good times"; afterward, we all will go eat or go to another  party later that night and drink ourselves into oblivion and say it's because we are in mourning and hurting; the shirt ends up in the laundry and worn every so often until it fades, just like the victim's memory. Oh, he'll be remembered, but just until the NEXT tragedy and then we'll start the cycle all over again.
NOW, people want to carry signs and talk about injustice , yet when this man was alive there were NO protests regarding obtaining work and decent salaries for all of these able bodied people in the "hood" of A-town so they could get out of "the game"; there were NO marches for all of the single mom's, literally, struggling to make ends meet financially, mentally, or spiritually; there were NO demonstrations for all of the children with no -time or part time fathers / or the sperm donors who may as well be dead; and let's not forget the "ratchet" mothers who don't even try to "fake like they care about their kids" and then when the little ones grow up in "the system" and end up "6 feet under", "Moms" wants to jump on the casket and talk about, "My baby! My baby!" People, we really need to stop the madness. Seriously. If you really want to STOP THE VIOLENCE, then DO SOMETHING besides talk about it or there will be many more tragedies in the near future... R.I.P. O HEAD

A NOW A WORD FROM "Dr. Ethel Drayton-Craig"

Preparing Our Boys To Be Men of High Character

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending an Annual Business Meeting and Council Recognition Dinner for my regional Boy Scouts Organization. I always look forward to it because it lets us know of the heroic efforts of the young men, younger boys, and adult leaders. Some of the stories reflect extraordinary heroism, caring, and compassion. The talents and skills that they have exemplified often surpass anything my mind can conceive and would put these boys in a league with survivalists and “extreme” outdoorsmen.

I learned that a key issue scouting faces is membership at this time because the young cubs are not crossing over to the troops for older boys and new boys are not entering at the same rate they did in the past.
For the first time I really listened to the words spoken by the scouts as they conducted the honor guard ceremony and I watched the visual power point projection of those words that described what a scout is. This time as I listened, I reflected on the meaning of what was being said as I thought about the state of our nation, our cities, our schools, and our communities. In a world of apparent shrinking resources, climatic change with severe weather related crises, issues of low educational achievement, youth gangs, moral decay and greed, and a grass roots ground swell that says, “I am not my brother’s keeper”, I began to wonder why a parent would not want to have his/her son involved in scouting from a young age through completion of high school?

Unlike the seasonal sports team that may last for three months, the Boy Scouts makes a commitment to that youngster through his 18th birthday!
The oath says: “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law: to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”

The character traits that describe a boy scout are: A boy scout is:

Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent

These are traits that could help to turn around the popular culture iconic reverence for celebrity; its disengagement in caring for others; and its lack of discipline needed for success. These traits develop skills to bring dreams to fruition and they foster the pursuit of personal excellence for the sake of excellence. In other words, these are traits that help to ensure a caring, committed society of the future for our grandchildren and their children.
Boy Scouts prepares a boy for life!
