Kiwanis Club of Avalon-Bellevue
The meeting of the Kiwanis on January 20, was devoted to "Education of Kiwanis and Their Objectives for 1947." The program was very capably handled by our chairman, James Fleming, and assisted by Lynn Menold and George Wanner. George Caves was accepted as a new member at this meeting. We also had three visitors, Rev. William E. Collins, W. H. Barker, and Chester England.
January 20 to 25, 1947, is the 32nd anniversary of the Kiwanis Clubs.
With over 2,5000 clubs engaged in one co-ordinated effort it can be truly said of Kiwanis that "We Build for Peace-Patriotism-Opportunity."
At our next meeting on January 27, we will have as guest speaker James S. Robinson, director of Hill City Youth Municipality, who has accomplished great work in this locality.
*Blogger Black Buzz was a Charter Member of the historic Uptown Hill Kiwanis which was started in 1977.

Allegheny County Girl Scouts will brighten up Easter for patients in district hospitals by decorating their Easter trays with gail-colored Easter baskets. The baskets have been made by girls of Troop 253 of Carrick, 342 of Edgewood, 238 of Penn Township, 484 of Hill City and 141 of Braddock.
Bedridden patients in Leech Farm Sanitarium, Columbia Hospital, the GAR Old Folks Home, Aspinwall Veterans Hospital, and the Braddock General Hospital are among those who will receive the baskets.

*Does anyone know if there are any active Girl Scouts Troops located presently in the Hill District section of Pittsburgh, PA?
At one time, the old Hill City Youth Municipality had the most comprehensive well runned all around youth and adult centered programs in the City of Pittsburgh which was due to the intelligent visionary leadership of James S. Robinson, Jr., his outstanding exemplary staff and the hundreds of highly sensitive skillful volunteers. Hill City employed such staff greats as Eunice Cook, James H. Williams, John A. Cundieff, Pronty Ford, Raymond Harris, Willis Brooks, Willis Wilson and Carl Redwood, Sr. who is the father of Carl Redwood, Jr.
Today, Carl Redwood Jr. is one of the truly exceptional men of color in the City of Pittsburgh, who has done yeoman outstanding work concerning a whole multitude of community development issues particularly with the shenanigans of the Pittsburgh Penguins and the City fathers over the building of the Consol Energy Center.
Kudos to Mrs. Redwood and the now deceased Carl Redwood, Sr. who did an outstanding job in helping to make Carl a champion and advocate for the people of the Hill District and throughout the City of Pittsburgh.
The legendary Hill City Band, led by Raymond Harris, was known all over the USA. The Hill City Band featured Thomas Turrentine Sr. and jazz greats, his famous sons Tommy, Stanley and Marvin Turrentine.
I played B flat clarinet in the famous Herron Hill Jr. High School Orchestra along with a sister of the Turrentines who played the violin, viola and the cello. Mrs. Turrentine, the mother of Tommy and Stanley was an excellent piano player.
International swimming Hall of Fame member and three time All-American, Nathaniel Clark, who was the first African American in the United States to score and place in an NCAA Championship in the sport of swimming while on scholarship at Ohio State University, and Nate played the oboe in the Herron Hill Jr. High School Orchestra.
Another legendary great athlete and my close friend, the late Barry Nixon of 556 Francis Street in the Hill District, played the french horn in the Herron Hill Jr. High School Orchestra. Other players in the orchestra were the late Ida Joyce Sharp who is the sister of retired Schenley school teacher, Anne Haley and who also lived on Francis Street. She played the violin, and the great Barbara Payne played the cello. The late Marsha Hord played the viola, Janis Harvey, Reverend Harvey's daughter of Iowa Street played the cello, and George Talley, the son of Rev. Talley, the pastor of Central Baptist Church, played the bass fiddle.
There have probably been more talented people to come out of the Hill District of Pittsburgh, PA than any other community in the USA.
A countless number of other great Pittsburgh musicians got a lot of their musical training while playing in the Hill City Band.
Former Hill City Band members are presently living all over the City of Pittsburgh and throughout the USA. The Hill City Band performed at various functions in the City of Pittsburgh and played on many Sundays in the spring, summer and fall in the spectacular historic parades in the Hill District.
Pittsburgh Board of Education administrator retiree Tony Delaney, who lived in the upper Hill District, remembers playing in the famous Hill City Band, and has been quoted as saying that it was "one of the most rewarding experiences in her youth to play in the Hill City Band."

Obama’s cave-in to Israel: letter suggests US not honest broker
Black Buzz News Service
Nazareth, Israel
October 14, 2010
By Jonathan Cook in Nazareth
5 October 2010
Jonathan Cook considers the significance of a leaked letter from US President Barack Obama to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu which undermines Obama’s claim to be an honest broker and confirms suspicions that Netanyahu’s professed desire to establish a Palestinian state is insincere.
The disclosure of the details of a letter reportedly sent by President Barack Obama last week to Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will cause Palestinians to be even more sceptical about US and Israeli roles in the current peace talks.
According to the leak, Obama made a series of extraordinarily generous offers to Israel, many of them at the expense of the Palestinians, in return for a single minor concession from Netanyahu: a two-month extension of the partial freeze on settlement growth.
A previous 10-month freeze, which ended a week ago, has not so far been renewed by Netanyahu, threatening to bring the negotiations to an abrupt halt. The Palestinians are expected to decide whether to quit the talks over the coming days.
Netanyahu was reported last week to have declined the US offer.
The White House has denied that a letter was sent, but, according to the Israeli media, officials in Washington are privately incensed by Netanyahu’s rejection.
The disclosures were made by an informed source: David Makovsky, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a close associate of Dennis Ross, Obama’s chief adviser on the Middle East, who is said to have initiated the offer.
The letter’s contents have also been partly confirmed by Jewish US senators who attended a briefing last week from Ross.
According to Makovsky, in return for the 60-day settlement moratorium, the US promised to veto any UN Security Council proposal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the next year, and committed to not seek any further extensions of the freeze. The future of the settlements would be addressed only in a final agreement.
The White House would also allow Israel to keep a military presence in the West Bank’s Jordan Valley, even after the creation of a Palestinian state; continue controlling the borders of the Palestinian territories to prevent smuggling; provide Israel with enhanced weapons systems, security guarantees and increase its billions of dollars in annual aid; and create a regional security pact against Iran.
There are several conclusions the Palestinian leadership is certain to draw from this attempt at deal-making over its head.
The first is that the US president, much like his predecessors, is in no position to act as an honest broker. His interests in the negotiations largely coincide with Israel’s.
Obama needs a short renewal of the freeze, and the semblance of continuing Israeli and Palestinian participation in the “peace process”, until the US Congressional elections in November.
Criticism by the powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington may damage Obama’s Democratic Party unless he treads a very thin line. He needs to create the impression of progress in the Middle East talks but not upset Israel’s supporters by making too many demands on Netanyahu.
The second conclusion – already strongly suspected by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, and his advisers – is that Netanyahu, despite his professed desire to establish a Palestinian state, is being insincere.
The White House’s private offer meets most of Netanyahu’s demands for US security and diplomatic assistance even before the negotiations have produced tangible results. For Netanyahu to reject the offer so lightly, even though the US was expecting relatively little in return, suggests he is either in no mood or in no position to make real concessions to the Palestinians on statehood.
The Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz reported on 1 October that senior White House officials were no longer “buying the excuse of politicial difficulties” for Netanyahu in holding his right-wing governing coalition together. If he cannot keep his partners on board over a short freeze on illegal settlement building, what meaningful permanent concessions can he make in the talks?
The third conclusion for the Palestinians is that no possible combination of governing parties in Israel is capable of signing an agreement with Abbas that will not entail significant compromises on the territorial integrity of a Palestinian state.
One US concession – allowing Israel to maintain its hold on the Jordan Valley, nearly a fifth of the West Bank, for the forseeable future – reflects a demand common to all Israeli politicians, not just Netanyahu.
In fact, the terms of Obama’s letter were drafted in cooperation with Ehud Barak, Israel’s defence minister and leader of the supposedly left-wing Labour Party. When he was prime minister a decade ago, he insisted on a similar military presence in the Jordan Valley during the failed Camp David talks.
Ariel Sharon, his successor and founder of the centrist Kadima Party, planned a new section of the separation wall to divide the Jordan Valley from the rest of the West Bank, though the scheme was put on hold after American objections.
Today, most Palestinians cannot enter the Jordan Valley without a special permit that is rarely issued, and the area’s tens of thousands of Palestinian inhabitants are subjected to constant military harassment. B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, has accused Israel of a “de facto annexation” of the area.
But without the Jordan Valley, the creation of a viable Palestinian state – even one limited to the West Bank, without Gaza – would be inconceivable. Statehood would instead resemble the Swiss-cheese model the Palestinians have long feared is all Israel is proposing.

The article titled News of Hill City by Allen R. Reddick appeared in The Pittsburgh Courier on May 18, 1946.
Hill City's director of Public safety, Willis W. Brooks, Eugene J. Durham, manager of the Roosevelt Theatre, and Robert Richardson, manager of the New Grenada Theatre, held a meeting recently concerning the destruction of seats in the theatres. This is a very important matter as it brings about the discomfort of the patrons. Such acts of vandalism reflect on the home training of the child rather than the developed instincts. Such acts also add to a long list of ill kempt places we have to attend. If the parent would stress to the child the necessity of being decent and thoughtful for the rights of others, such acts would not be committed.
Parents are urged to know the whereabouts of their children at all times, if possible. That harmless looking knife he has may bring sorrow to you. Some the cases that are brought into the offices of Hill City are absolutely amazing. According to Director James S. Robinson and Assistant Director James H. Williams, there is much to be done concerning the carrying of weapons by children.
The long awaited stage show at the Stanley Theatre will be presented Sunday May 26. This performance will include acts by members of professional teams and bands. The show promises to be one of the best in Pittsburgh history. The admission is only $ 1.20, tax included. Tickets may be purchased at Hill City, 2038 Bedford Avenue, or at The Pittsburgh Courier.
* Blogger Black buzz states that he remembers attending the New Grenada and the Roosevelt Theatres on Saturday afternoons back in the late forties and early fifties, and he found both theatres to be very clean, orderly with decent refreshments.
More aggressive, concerted, persistent action by the public is needed to restore the New Grenada to some semblance of its significant historical past in the context of the history of the Hill District. More importantly, the restoration or rebuilding of the New Grenada should not be relegated to a position of secondary consideration in the Renaissance of the Hill District.
