Springfield Wildcat Springfield High School just lost our Head Coach for Basketball, Darnell we are sad to see you go...But good luck!!!

Now this is, well it should be the straw the broke the camel's back....!!!! Meaning our community needs to get behind someone that we respect as a man or woman and has ties to our community and that knows our children and last but the most important of all has the respect from our children and our parents. Cause if they don't have that respect the will never achieve the goal they have set forth. And that is putting some parents in their place "Telling them that this is my program i will run it the way that i want!!!!!" Cause he or she has to have the children at heart first, Then they must!!!!!, tell the so-called AD's at the high school "Stop putting our children to side and stop focusing all the resources on baseball, Girls softball and other sports that is not bringing in the revenue like Boys basketball and the football program does. we all should know why these non elite programs get more attention and more resources...why?????? well Greg Newland at one point was the ladies softball coach over at Springfield South high and Mark Stoll was the Baseball coach at Springfield North high, so they are going to look out for self, and our tax dollars are paying these guys salaries, approximately 80k a year?????? SO Springfield what are you prepared to do???????

Fathers Day!!!!!

I can only speak from what i know and that is being a father "Dad" that is a hard job that i still and will never perfect..But these "so-called" men that claimed to be Fathers cause the laid down with someone to make a child and they are not lending a hand to take care of them...i cannot and will not give any day. So all you men that have children that are not taking care there seeds "YOU AIN'T SHIT"

Stand up!!!!!

we as men need to stop getting offensive when someone that is a
authority tell us "black men" to step up and take your place!!! also i
understand that SOME black females are not doing their job BUT i know
the black woman has had patience with us "black man" for generations
and have been by our side waiting on us to stop messing w/white women
and stop being permisquis and stop indulging in a destructive
lifestyle.

People flee into streets as aftershock hits Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - The most powerful aftershock yet struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking more rubble from damaged buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets eight days after the country's capital was devastated by an apocalyptic quake.




Later lowered to 5.9 after initially being reported as magnitude 6.1, the temblor was the largest of more than 40 significant aftershocks that have followed the Jan. 12 quake.



The new quake collapsed seven buildings in Petit-Goave, the seaside town closest to the epicenter, according to Mike Morton of the U.N. Disaster Assessment and Coordination agency. But there were no reports of people crushed or trapped, perhaps because the earlier quake frightened most people into sleeping outside.



Wails of terror rose from frightened survivors as the earth shuddered at 6:03 a.m. U.S. soldiers and tent city refugees alike raced for open ground, and clouds of dust rose in the capital.



The U.S. Geological Survey said Wednesday's quake was centered about 35 miles northwest of Port-au-Prince and 6.2 miles below the surface — a little further from the capital than last week's epicenter was.



"It kind of felt like standing on a board on top of a ball," said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Steven Payne. The 27-year-old from Jolo, West Virginia was preparing to hand out food to refugees in a tent camp of 25,000 quake victims when the aftershock hit.



Last week's magnitude-7 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million homeless, according to the European Union Commission



So, let’s talk, I have strong mixed feeling about this situation. First I want everyone to get evolved with the Haiti relief because that is my people.. African that was brought over to Haiti, Peru, Dominic Republic, Cuba, and Barbados that was slaves from the southern tip of Africa… So I say “Hell ya “Help my people…But on the other hand what about the relief here in the united states in Springfield, Ohio the Bronx New York Richmond California Mesa AZ etc…. so come-on we have black people here dying on the streets not by earthquakes but by man made thing such as poverty, domestic violence, drugs, police brutality ect….So what should I do???? worry about someone that I don’t know or something that will not effect me and my family or walk in prophet Muhammad and Jesus shoes and help all God’s children or help that brother on my block????
