PennsportDivided,But Not

In A Crisis

‘Old Blue Eyes’ Mural Attacked By Construction Crew; Neighbors Upset

(Cont. from Page 1)The developer has dis-

missed reports the communityis in crisis over a planned res-idential development at St.Casimir's School.

Cosimo Tricarico, whoowns and operates the CaffèValentino restaurant inPennsport, is planning to de-velop the old Catholic schoollocated at 3rd & WhartonStreets into a 25-unit apart-ment complex.

A small group of concernedresidents circulated a petitionthat 100 residents signed op-posed to the plans in March2011. The petition was circu-lated to stop Tricarico fromdeveloping the old school intoa 76-foot-high, 25-unit housingcomplex with nine open slotsfor street parking.

However, Pennsport CivicAssociation President Dr.James Moylan revealed thisweek a meeting was held ear-lier this year; at which 72 res-idents signed the petitionsupporting the plan -- some ofwhom had previously signedthe petition in opposition to theproject.

In January 2011, a fewweeks after signing an agree-

ment with the Archdiocese totake over the property, Tri-carico and his architect went topublic meeting in Pennsport,which was attended by 20-30people, and the PennsportBoard, he said.

At a second meeting inMarch, 80 residents ofPennsport attended a presenta-tion.

Moylan said the majority ofthe people at the meeting sup-ported the project. It was asmall minority that opposed it,Tricarico said.

After Tricarico presentedhis proposal to the community,72 people signed a petition infavor of it.

Residents on Earp Street,however, are concerned aboutthe lighting, trash, sewerpipes, and water. They joinedTricarico at a zoning hearingyesterday (too late for theisnewspaper to report becausewe went to print on Wednes-day morning). Also, Earp andSears Street residents are con-cerned about the proposedparking, which would be adja-cent to the school.

Block Captain Andrea Rus-sell of the 300 block of EarpStreet is leading the fightagainst the proposal because,she says, after several letters tolocal City and State elected of-ficials, she and her residentsfeel like they are being “left inthe dark” over the proposal.“It is not that we do not wantnew development in the area,”she said. “It’s just the buildingand the surrounding area is toonarrow; there is not enoughparking and street access rightnow, never mind adding 25new homes. It’s a ridiculousproposal. Can you imagineany kind of deliveries on thesestreets? It will be bedlam.”

Russell says the residentssigned her petition in againstthe proposal because the 25units will have a detrimentalimpact on homeowners’ prop-erty taxes, water and sewerusage and trash.

However, in an interviewthis week, Tricarico, who wasborn in Puglia, Italy and hasspent 10 years in SouthPhiladelphia, he said believesresidents “might misunder-stand the original plans.”

He said, “We want to go 10feet on each floor; two floorsabove the roof of the building.The design goes east to west,not north to south. So light, forexample, will not been af-fected.” Who would not wanta view of the city skyline? heasks.

Tricarico said he does notexpect to see a traffic problem

with nine parking spaces heplans to use either, which doconcern residents because ofthe potential traffic flow onsuch a small street.

“If you look at the streetnow, cars are double-parkedalong Earp Street, and there islittle parking on Sears Street;on Orianna Street there is noparking, I’m creating park-ing.”

Cosmio added, “I don’twant to make this a threateningsituation. I’m here to listen andI'm sure 90% of the peoplewho attended the meeting weheld with the civic associationleft and were satisfied. If theyare not, I am willing to listenand answer any concerns aswe move forward.”

Tricarico owns CafféValentino Restaurant at 3rd &Wharton Streets.

Developer Addresses Pennsport Neighbors’ Fear Over St. Casimirs

NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT proposal at 324 Wharton Street, former St. CasimirSchool, has some local residents concerned because of size and scope of development. How-ever, developer Cosimo Tricarico said prior to zoning meeting yesterday, he wants to easeresidents’ fears by inviting them to any future meeting, so he can answer any concerns oflocal residents in Pennsport.

by Maria MerlinoIt has taken four years, but

Victor & Linda Baldi willnow be able to enjoy the in-ground swimming pool theyhad built within the propertylines of their home on Re-serve Drive, located in TheReserve Development.

Judge James Lynn ruledagainst the Packer ParkHomeowners Association,which had taken them to courtto remove the swimmingpool, claiming it violated theirAssociation’s rules.

The Baldis did request theHomeowners Association forapproval in meetings held inNovember 2007 and January2008. It would require anamendment to their rules gov-erning swimming pools. TheExecutive Board agreed LindaBaldi could go ahead andgather the necessary informa-tion regarding City codes, in-surance and liability andpresent them to the Board.

She had the co-operation ofChris Aversa, communitymanager and managing agentfor the Association, who theBoard acknowledged was au-

thorized to work with theBaldis.

The Reserve Board finallyapproved wording for a peti-tion to approve an amendmentrequired for the installation ofthis pool. The Baldis walkedthe petition around for amonth and obtained 154 sig-natures from Reserve Associ-ation members.

In the meantime, ChrisAversa departed for anotherposition. At that time, SantoDuca, a member of the Exec-utive Board, admitted theBoard had sent inconsistentand incorrect statements re-garding the process foramending the Declaration.

The Baldis had alreadygotten their permits on May9, 2008 to install the pools.They heard nothing in thenegative from the Board at thetime, nor did they knowAversa had been replaced andthere was some contentionamong Board members as towhether the Baldis had fullyqualified with the request re-quirements outlined by theBoard’s regulations.

After paying $10,000 on a

contract for the installation ofthe in-ground pool, JohnComerford emailed Mrs.Baldi and introduced himselfas the new property managerfor the association, stating,“Please be advised the boardis taking your request intoconsideration. However, atthis time, you do not have ap-proval for a pool installation.The petition you had peoplesign did not grant you imme-diate approval.”

Linda Baldi responded

with the information she hadthe approval from ChrisAversa and the petition signedby the homeowners support-ing her efforts was designedand made up by the HomeOwners Association.

A Board member emailedmembers the bylaws, ashanded down to them by thedeveloper, were full of prob-lem-makers and should havebeen amended by the Associ-ation. Following a generalmeeting, Glen Ross, the attor-ney for the Association, in-formed the Baldis he hadadvised the Board to allowthem to dig on May 27.

Still another vote was or-dered with ballots going outand the deadline extended fortheir return due to the Memo-rial Day weekend. A total of38 votes out of 230 homeown-ers were returned with 22 vot-ing yes and 16 no.

On May 27, the installationbegan. Santo Duca, a boardmember, tried to get theworkers to leave, despite thefact other homeowners had

pools. Eventually came thecourt action.

Judge Lynn ruled the As-sociation’s witnesses JohnComerford and Santo Duca“were found to be not credi-ble, inconsistent and notforthcoming with the full

truth.” He then listed a host ofprevious law findings and in-consistencies in the Home-owners Association’s bylawsto buttress his decision to re-fuse to honor their request thepool be dug up and declaredillegal.

Teacher Runs To Harrisburg(Cont. From Page 1)

“I am a teacher, parent andrunner and I want to combinethe three to get people informedand involved,” said Borda.

Borda will begin his journeyat the School District ofPhiladelphia’s headquarterstoday at 9:30 a.m., and plans tomake stops along the way inother school districts, encour-aging parents, teachers and stu-dents to run with him fordifferent legs as he makes hisway across the state.

The launch at 440 N. BroadStreet will include a brief list ofspeakers, and Borda will bejoined by more than 20 Districtteachers pledging to run withhim for the first leg of this tripto Harrisburg.

The goal of this event is todraw attention to the state ofeducation in Pennsylvania, en-gage people around the issueand prompt a larger dialogueabout our collective prioritiesfor education in the short andlong term.

Borda has partnered withnon-profit education advocacyorganization Education Votersof Pennsylvania for the plan-ning and promotion of thisevent. EVPA works to engagecitizens and policymakersaround education issues on thestate and local level to ensurethat both understand the impor-tance of public education to ourcommunities and that they sup-port a pro-public-educationagenda.

Sen. Farnese Appointed To Harrisburg School BodyCity students could get a

boost now a South Philadel-phia lawmaker has landed aspot on an influential Harris-burg college-loan agency.

State Sen. Larry Farnese,who has an office on 1600 S.Broad Street, has been ap-pointed to serve on The Penn-sylvania Higher EducationAssistance Agency’s Board ofDirectors.

“I have long been an advo-cate of economic developmentin the Commonwealth,” saidthe Senator. “One of the bestways to ensure the future eco-nomic vitality of Pennsylvaniais to maintain a highly skilledworkforce through access toaffordable higher education. Ilook forward to helping to fur-ther those efforts as a memberof the PHEAA Board.”

“We welcome Sen. Far-nese to the Board,” said StateRep. William Adolph,PHEAA Board Chairman.“He will bring a fresh per-

spective to our board that willhelp us in our efforts to ad-dress various issues facing thestudents, families and post-secondary schools of Pennsyl-vania.”

State Sen. Wayne Fontana,

PHEAA Board vice chair-man, added, “Sen. Farnese’sappointment to the PHEAAboard will allow him to be-come a stronger advocate forPennsylvania students, fami-lies and schools — especiallyin regard to ensuring accessto affordable higher educa-tion. I look forward to work-ing with the Senator as weaddress the diverse and evolv-ing needs of our students andthe higher education commu-nity.”

Created in 1963 by thePennsylvania General Assem-bly, PHEAA has evolved intoone of the nation's leadingstudent-aid organizations.PHEAA is a national providerof student financial aid serv-ices, serving millions of stu-dents and thousands ofschools through its loan-guar-anty, loan-servicing, finan-cial-aid processing, outreachand other student-aid pro-grams.

SOUTH PHILLY SENA-TOR Larry Farnese hasbeen appointed to thePHEAA Board of Direc-tors.

Newly nominated Democ-rat City Commissioner candi-date Stephanie Singer, whosecampaign has been demand-ing full compliance with elec-tion voting requirements, wasamong the missing when itcame to filing necessary elec-tion documents on time.

She missed the Cycle 3,Jun. 16 deadline for financialcampaign reporting by a day,which will cost her at least$40. If that were all, she’d beamong several who were late.However, she faces morefines, since a State law re-quires 24-hour reporting ofreceipts of $500 or more re-ceived between May 3 andMay 17 by all candidates. Hercampaign committee hadn’tcomplied. Those fines add upquickly – $20 a day for thefirst six days and $10 a day toa maximum of about $2,500.

But it is hoped her cam-paign team stopped the floodof fines by rushing in the re-ports. She can also be as-sessed fines by the Board ofEthics, which may or may notbe inclined to do so.

Voter RegistrationChief Is Leaving

It can honestly be saidthere will be no one in the Of-fice of the City Commission-ers after the general electionwith the savvy commanded byVoter Registration Adminis-trator Bob Lee.

What there is to know, heknows. When registrationlaws were changed by theState or Congress, he knewwhen to signal them changesneeded to be made. Add tothat his ability to juggle a staffof civil-service employees andscores of temporary workersduring the height of strongregistration periods and comein under budget and on time,and one wonders who will re-place him.

That thought is on themind of Commissioners JoeDuda and Anthony Clark andpossible incoming Commis-sioners Stephanie Singer andRepublican nominee AlSchmidt.

That’s because Lee has,for the past 19 years, been thehead of the voter-registration

office. Add to that experiencegleaned throughout his 27½years with the City Commis-sioners. He will be retiringbefore the end of the year.

Lee’s experience has beenrecognized in the state and inthe halls of Congress, beingasked to testify as to voterregistration change needs bytheir respective legislativecommittees. He has been atthe center of calling forchanges, helping draft newlegislation to avoid voters los-ing their rights and to preventfraud.

His absence will create amajor vacuum for that crucialdepartment which is expectedto be flooded next primaryand general elections as antic-ipated numbers of voters willbe registered for the presiden-tial campaign.

Lee recalls as many as8,000 voter registrationswould be received daily by hisoffice for the last primary andgeneral presidential election.He said he recorded in just afive-month period during thelast presidential candidate ahigh of 300,000 registrations

received, needed to be clearedto insure they weren’t fraudu-lent or duplicates.

This put a major strainonthe City Commissioners, Lee,and his staff to insure every-one who registered for eitherelection by deadline time werein the proper binders andheaded to the polling placeson time.

Some of those concernedare visiting his 5th-floor cub-byhole at Delaware & SpringGarden,hat in hand, asking, invain, for him to reconsider hisdecision to retire.

Bob Casey LooksBetter And BetterA poll released by Quin-

nipiac University found Sen.Bob Casey (D-Pa.) has strongapproval numbers, with 47%approving of his performanceagainst only 26% disapprov-ing.

The net 21% positive ap-proval rating is another signof Casey’s strength headedinto the 2012 elections. Caseyis the most popular statewideelected official in Pennsylva-nia. The poll also found

Casey polls strongly againstany Republican opponent,with the Senator taking 47%against an unnamed Republi-can’s 32%.

“Sen. Casey has a solidrecord of fighting for Penn-sylvania families, and thepeople of Pennsylvaniaroundly approve of hiswork,” said Mark Nicastre, aspokesman with the Pennsyl-vania Democrat Party. “Sen.Casey is working hard to cre-ate jobs and grow manufactur-ing opportunities inPennsylvania. Sen. Casey’shard work and focus on jobsputs him in a strong positionfor 2012.”

Specter Seeks EndTo NFL Lockout

Arlen Specter thinks Con-gress should intervene in theNFL lockout. In an op-ed tothe New York Times, the for-mer Senator argued the gov-ernment should use itsleverage over the NFL –namely, the antitrust exemp-tions it grants the league – toforce the owners and players’

Andy Toy told backers hewas “proud of the strong,smart, and honest campaignwe ran. I am very thankfulfor the great voter support wehad across the City. We wonoutright a number of Wardswhere we expected to dowell. Unfortunately, voterturnout was relatively lightand the five Party-endorsedincumbent candidates did wellin many other areas and wontheir at-Large seats. It showshow difficult it is going upagainst incumbents, the Partymachine, and bad ballot posi-tion, particularly in a lowturnout election. Congratula-tions to the winners and to all

the other candidates who tookon the challenge of runningfor office because they feltthat they could make a posi-tive difference in our City.”

He added he was “alsoproud of the leadership weshowed in this election -- bymy calling out the loopholethat allowed a number ofCouncil candidates to acquirefar more than the $10,600contribution limit from a sin-gle PAC and the eventualclosing of that loophole, call-ing on City Council to end itspractice of taking four monthsof recess from legislationevery year, pushing our va-cant properties back into pro-ductive use quickly (I willcontinue working on this inany way possible), and help-ing small and especially mi-nority businesses grow bygaining greater access to cap-ital using City funds to capi-talize good existingCommunity Development Fi-nancial Institutions.”

No To Photo IDAs many of us are gearing

up for the presidential primar-ies in 2012, there are somePennsylvania politicians whoare looking to discourage ourmost vulnerable citizens (low-income, seniors, and youth)from voting. This is beingdone by an amendment to HB934 (aka The Election Code).

This bill is estimated tocost Pennsylvania taxpayersapproximately $11 million toimplement and does not serveany other purpose except tointimidate voters.

With this bill, anyone whovotes, whether it is your 1st

time or 100th time, will berequired to show an unex-pired, state or federal govern-ment issued, photo ID.Quibila A. [email protected]

But I knowfor a fact that it the practicegoes way back before therewas such a thing as drug deal-ers. I have seen photos ofshoes hanging on wires that

date back to at least the late1800s and early 1900s, so theorigin can got be drug deal-ers. I know you will give methe well-researched truth andnot the paranoia that isspewed out by suburbanknow-it-alls.Patricia Caramanna

Shame On MediaBeing the first endorsed

and now first nominated fe-male candidate for Mayor, Iam disappointed. The printmedia ignored, ridiculed andinvalidated my candidacy.With the exception of thispaper, most of the press I gotfrom the print media was touse me to take cheap shots atthe GOP.

Shame! I’m making his-tory and they are making amockery! Thank goodness forthe Philadelphia PublicRecord where all candidatesare given equal time and ex-posure. There should be moreprint press like this paper sovoters get information neededwhen voting for candidates. Ithought the media was sup-posed to print the news in aneutral format so as to givetheir readers a chance tomake an informed decision onissues.

There are enough soap-opera rag newspapers in ourcheckout lines in the super-markets. Do we need aremajor newspapers stooping tothis level?Karen Brown

A Taxing TaskTo make Philadelphia a premier destination for

tourists, for businesses, for conventions and whatever elsethat can produce revenue and jobs has proven to be adaunting challenge and a taxing task.

What makes it taxing are the taxes, unchanged andgrowing, heaped upon the businesses and the homeownersand those who rent living space within the boundaries ofthis city by its government, which consists of its CityCouncil and its Mayor.

We don’t understand why the executive and legislativebranches just do not get it. People and businesses can nolonger afford the size of government as it exists on alllevels!

Now, just think if the present City Council membershiphad been asked by the Mayor to raise another “one-year”rate hike in that tax before the spring primary. Theywould have been hooted at and booted out of its City HallChambers. But they didn’t have to face voters with that ontheir record of accomplishments in June, and it, of course,passed.

Long missing from City Council are individuals whohave businesses, understand what it takes to make payroll,and then feel the pinch from the taxes they impose uponthemselves as well.

This City Council is lacking that experience. It needsto pile its members into a bus and truly tour this city, vis-iting the local shopping districts and trying to figure outwhy so many storefronts are empty.

They know, as do others who follow City government,we need to give businesses a respite from higher salestaxes and higher permit and license fees and homeownersrelief from more hikes in the real-estate tax, be it only apromised one-year burden.

Who on City Council will step forward to truly cometo the defense of the beleaguered taxpayers of this city?

The citizens could face more hikes if the PennsylvaniaIntergovernmental Cooperation Authority decides not toapprove the plan. They need four votes to do so, two ofwhich belong to Sam Katz and St. Joseph’s UniversityBusiness Dean Joseph DiAngelo. A “no” vote by themmeans the Mayor and City Council must go back to thedrawing board to come up with more revenue. The sourceagain? Us, of course!

SEPTA Fights Hunger

NORTH PHILLY’s “King” Gabriel Rosado and trainerBilly Briscoe still want Harry Joe Yorgey.

A fight that had been talkedabout for years in Philly box-ing circles is now off due to atraining injury. “King”Gabriel Rosado and Harry JoeYorgey were finally ready tomix it up on Peltz Boxing Pro-motions’ big Jul. 15 carddown at Bally’s in AtlanticCity. Unfortunately, due to ashoulder injury sustained byYorgey last week, Philly box-ing fans will have to wait awhile longer for the eagerlyanticipated bout. Doctors havetold Yorgey he will be out forat least three months.

However, Rosado will stillheadline that evening againstan extremely dangerous oppo-nent in the Bronx’s AllenConyers, who has been inwith world-rated boxers suchas James Kirkland and DelvinRodriguez. The hard-hittingjunior middleweight has alsoearned the nickname of the“Dream Shatterer” for upset-

ting and derailing the careersof numerous up-and-comingprospects. In a three-fightstretch, he once knocked outprospects Johnathan Tubbsand Russell Jordan, both inthe first round, and then wenton to knock out Philly’s DerekEnnis in the 2nd round, whowas 10-0-1 at the time. Andremember that Rosado lost a12-round decision last year toEnnis for the USBA Junior-Middleweight Championship.

Although disappointed thatthe Yorgey bout will have tobe postponed, Rosado knowshe’s in for a tough evening,especially early in the fight,and says he can’t afford to becareless with Conyers.

Six additional fights com-plete the card which will alsoinclude Philly favorites Den-nis Hasson and Jamaal Davisin separate bouts. For ticketscall Ticketmaster at (800)745-3000.

Yo. Here we go again with these observations on growing older sent to me byJoanne K.

Your kids are becoming you, and you don’t like them; but your grandchildren are per-fect. – Going out is good; coming home is better. – When people say you look “great,”they add, “for your age.” – When you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now youget discounts on everything – the movies, hotels, flights – but you’re too tired to use them.

You forget names, but it’s OK because other people forgot they even knew you. – Yourealize you’re never going to be really good at anything, especially golf. – Your spouse iscounting on you to remember things you don’t remember. – The things you used to care todo, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don’t care to do them anymore.– Your spouse sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he or she does in bed.It’s called their “pre-sleep”.

Do you remember when your mother said, “Wear clean underwear in case you get inan accident?” – Now you bring clean underwear in case you have an accident. – You usedto say, “I hope my kids get married.” Now, “I hope they stay married.” – You miss the dayswhen everything worked with just an ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ switch – When Google, IPod, email,modem were unheard of, and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table. – Youtend to use more four-letter words, like “what? when?”

Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it’s not safe to wear it anywhere. – Yourhusband/wife has a night out with the guys or gals but is home by 9:00 p.m. Next week itwill be 8:30 p.m. – You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you’ve read it. – Whatused to be freckles are now liver spots. – Everybody whispers. – Now that your spouse hasretired, you’d give anything if he/she would find a job. – You have three sizes of clothes inyour closet, two of which you will never wear again.

But old is good in some things; old songs, old movies, and best of all, old friends. Sendthis to an old friend and let them laugh in agreement. It’s not what you gather, but what youscatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

I’ve been doing this column since 2005 or thereabouts, and in that time, I’ve covered awhole lot of politics. I’ve seen the political process, especially the political process here inPhiladelphia, up close.

But the closest I’ve ever been to the political process here in Philly was when I was thepresident of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists and we co-hosted the first debateof the 2003 mayoral race.

This debate featured Mayor John Street and his Republican opponent Sam Katz. It alsohappened just before a FBI bug was discovered in the Mayor’s Office, which led to the de-bate’s getting nationwide coverage and triggered a gang of indictments afterward.

While we got a lot of accolades for putting that debate together, it really pulled the curtainback on the sausage factory that is Philadelphia’s political process. While politics is the artof the possible, those possibilities cost millions of dollars to make happen, and they involvea lot of dirty pool. While it’s not nearly as nasty as national politics (particularly presidentialpolitics), it’s still pretty cutthroat.

But from that experience, I got a better grasp of what makes politics in Philadelphia unlikepolitics in any other place around the world, something that makes analyzing it not as hardas it once was.

Lately, my knowledge of the Philadelphia’s political process has become handy in mypersonal life. You see, I’ve entered the world of politics.

A couple of months ago, I decided to run for the office of Vice President-Print for the Na-tional Association of Black Journalists. I’ve been an NABJ member since 1994 and it’s al-lowed me to meet some really good people, visit a lot of places I probably wouldn’t have onmy own (like Chicago’s Wrigley Field), and it’s helped me out in terms of finding subjectsfor the research I do on African American journalists and objectivity.

But while I’ve been an NABJ chapter president, I didn’t see myself running for nationaloffice.

That is, until I started teaching.The good thing about being a researcher with an emphasis on Blacks in Journalism is you

get a lot of data and information about how Black journalists are doing within the profession. (Cont. Page 24)

Last week. Philadelphia City Council voted on three meas-ures: DROP, the funding of the School District’s budget shortfalland mandatory sick leave. Essentially, we Philadelphians partic-ipated in a Trifecta where the taxpayers and small businesseswere the big losers. And no, the children did not win; the schooladministration won.

MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER has advocated for the ter-mination of DROP. I’ve been around this jungle for quite sometime and I agree terminating DROP is a needed step in the direc-

tion of addressing the City’s grossly underfunded pension plan. City Council appears not toagree. City Council revised DROP by increasing the age of non-union employees enteringthe program and placing a cap on the interest rate at 4.5%. The revised DROP will probablydo little to decrease the cost of the program. There were only three nay votes, including for-mer Republican FRANK DiCICCO, who decided not to run for reelection in large partowing to the negative press from his participation in the program. Any attempt by the Mayorto veto the bill will probably be overridden.

Mayoral candidate KAREN BROWN spoke at the hearing and stated she believes the pro-gram is fine for the rank and file, but not for elected officials. This Elephant however, doesnot believe DROP, which has been championed as a management tool, is necessary. Is anyCity employee so critical that management needs four years for a succession plan?

COUNCILMAN FRANK RIZZO, whose candidacy for another term on City Councilwas in large part derailed by his participation in DROP, did the right thing in respect to theproperty-tax increase. He, along with fellow Republican COUNCILMAN BRIANO’NEILL, voted against the second increase in property taxes in as many years. My Ele-phant’s memory recalls O’Neill voting for only one tax increase in recent years. One can alsoask what was Republican COUNCILMAN JACK KELLY thinking when he voted for thetax increase? Since he is not running for reelection, he does not have to worry about offendingthe teachers’ union.

City Council did refuse to consider the Mayor’s proposal to place a tax on sugary drinks.O’Neill spoke at a rally protesting the tax and stated the additional cost would result in peoplegoing across County lines to buy soda and mostly likely buying the rest of their groceryneeds while they were there.

Council believes the real-estate tax increase of 3.85% and higher parking fees will result (Cont. Page 23)

by Peter RadattiCEO, President of

CyberSoft Operations, Inc.Just when I think the cy-

bercrooks have sunk to an all-time low, something newcomes along to make youthink maybe these guys areeven worse than I thought. Inthe past, there were automatedtheft programs that targetedchurches, small businessesand municipal governments.Now they are targeting thelonely. How low can theseguys go just to make a buck?Well, since it is millions ofbucks, it appears they can goas low as it can get.

If you see a Facebook post-

ing, message or an email talk-ing about unlocking love,delete it. It’s not love, it’s apredator that will steal youruserID and password and for-ward it to cybercrooks in an-other country.

They even have a websitein Croatian which will infectyou with the Love Button ifyou visit it. If you visit thewebsite, the install of the Tro-jan is disguised as a Sun Mi-crosystems Java SecurityUpdate 6. Do not run it. Ifyou do install the Love But-ton, it will again disguise it-self as the NortonAv.exeprogram in the local user-pro-file folder.

A good antivirus programwill prevent this, but you canalso help by learning whenyour computer auto-updatesitself and do not trust any pro-grams that want to installfrom the internet unless youare sure of where they arecoming from. As you can see,Love Button disguises itself asboth a Java security updateand later at the Norton an-tivirus program. If you knownot to trust any download pro-gram that wants to install onyour computer as soon as youvisit a new website, then thatwould also prevent you frominstalling many nasty attackprograms.

Remember, the defaultwhen installing programsfrom the internet is always tosay no. Only install programsthat you are sure of, includingtheir source. Anyone canclaim to be King and there area lot of imposters, but only thereal King could make a hitsong about a hound-dog.

The sale will be held at June 30, 2011 at 10:00 am at the steps

located on Market Street of the Eastern District Courthouse,

601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106. The Secretary of

Housing and Urban Development will bid $213,629.57 plus in-

terest, costs and other charges through the sale date. Ten per-

cent (10%) of the highest bid is the deposit required at the sale.

The amount that must be paid to HUD by the mortgagors or

someone acting on their behalf so that the sale may be stayed is

the total delinquent amount of $213,629.57 as of July 29, 2009,

plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage

agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accel-

erated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giv-

ing notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for

posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s atten-

dance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for

title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs

incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording docu-

ments, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and

all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior

to reinstatement. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or

other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay,

at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes

that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclo-

sure sale. When making their bid, all bidders, except the Secre-

tary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent 10% of the

Secretary’s bid as set forth above in the form of a certified

check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD.

Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the

successful bid is oral, a deposit of ten (10%) percent must be

presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonre-

fundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be deliv-

ered within thirty (30) days of the sale or at such other time as

the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being

of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be de-

livered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Sec-

retary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in

cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyance fees, all

real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery

of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated

with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the de-

posits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The

Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to de-

liver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for

fifteen (15) days, and a fee will be charged in the amount of

$150.00 for each fifteen (15) day extension requested. The ex-

tension fee shall be paid in the form of a certified or cashier’s

check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the ex-

piration of any extension period, the unused portion of the ex-

tension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high

bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or

within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the

high bidder’s deposit will be forfeited, and the Commissioner

may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative,

offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount

equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no

right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right

of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a fore-

closure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclo-

sure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon

receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the

terms of the sale as provided herein.

While the childrenshould not suffer for the fiscalirresponsibility of SUPERIN-TENDENT ARLENE ACK-ERMAN and others, thepeople of Philadelphia cannotafford more taxes. Rather, theCity should redirect fundsfrom less-vital programs tothe schools. City Council willmake the contribution of theadditional funds conditionalupon their having input onhow Ackerman will spend themoney. While another set ofeyes can be helpful, who inthis herd is confident the cur-rent City Council will con-tribute any value added?

There is one light at theend of the tunnel. This is lastweek’s Council vote on

mandatory sick leave. CityCouncil did vote to approvemandatory sick leave of ninedays per annum for any com-pany with 10 employees.Many small businesses seethis as an onerous financialburden. COUNCILMANBILL GREEN rightly notednone of the surrounding coun-ties or the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania has similar laws,putting our business at a com-petitive disadvantage. Thegood news is Nutter hasvowed to veto the mandatorysick-leave bill. As the bill waspassed with a vote of 9-8, CityCouncil will probably not beable to overturn his veto. AllRepublicans in City Councilvoted against the bill. Way togo, guys!

You get to see such thingsas newsroom census data, stud-ies about who is coveringwhat, and what that means forthe quality of information thatAmericans receive each day.

There have been dayswhere I’ve asked myself if I re-ally want to continue teachingjournalism because of the helljournalists of color are catch-ing on an almost daily basis.Did you know only 13% of theWhite House Press Corps, oneof the most important groupsof reporters in the country be-cause they cover our govern-ment, is made up of people ofcolor?

While this situation pre-dated the presidency of BarackObama, not a lot has changed.While reporters of color some-times get to open up a newsconference, they’re still easy tospot.

So after seeing the numberof journalists of color contractinstead of expand, and remem-bering that I was actually send-ing young people out into thison purpose, I decided I owed itto them to try to smooth out the

path as much as I could.So I’m running for office.

I’m hanging out at all the rightevents, going to candidate fo-rums, and spending money totry and get my message out,something that, as a freelancewriter and part-time copy edi-tor, means more than youknow.

While this election hasn’tbeen as hardcore as Street vs.Katz, there’s still a lot ofhorse-trading. There are folksrunning for office who are ask-ing for things from people theyjust had a violent argumentwith. Folks are also formingalliances with people they ac-tually can’t stand because theyagree on a particular candidate.

And memories are long.Folks bring up stuff you did tothem so long ago that you for-got what you did. It’s been areal eye-opener.

But I’ve been trying tofocus on one thing: what doesthis mean for Black journal-ists? Right now, everyone isnursing a case of the “Lasthired, first fired” blues in thebusiness. When the Philadel-phia Inquirer and PhiladelphiaDaily News underwent theirfirst round of layoffs afterbeing sold, roughly 71 of the

150 folks handed pink slipswere journalists of color.

In fact, every time you seethe word “layoff” in the news-paper, you see it connected toat least one or two people wholook like me. I’m not sayingwhite folks don’t get laid off,because they do. But whenthere are more of you in a pro-fession, it doesn’t look as bad.

Without someone in thenewsroom advocating for thestories of people of color – andby that I mean the stories thatdon’t involve someone com-mitting a crime or being on thewrong end of a gunshot wound– those stories don’t get told.

So I’m trying to get con-nected to a place where myvoice, and voices of the like-minded, can be amplified insuch a way that the bean-coun-ters who run the media thesedays have no choice but to payattention. That place, near as Ican tell, is the NABJ board. Orat least, I plan to make it thatway should I win.

If you want to give me anyadvice, you can email me [email protected]’m interested in hearing fromthose of you who do this stufffor a living.

For More Information

by State Rep. Babette Josephs

Later this month, the USCourt of Appeals for the 9thCircuit will reconsider its deci-sion to strike down Arizona’srequirement that residents pro-vide proof of citizenship when

they register to vote. This re-quirement was in addition tothe State’s existing law that vot-ers provide identification eachtime they vote.

Why mention Arizona? Be-cause, with both chambers ofthe General Assembly in Re-publican control as well as theGovernor’s residence, Pennsyl-vania is starting to eerily reflectthe viewpoint of the GrandCanyon State. As Arizona con-tinues to legalize discriminationand disfranchise lawful voters,Pennsylvania should not belooking to Arizona for direc-tion.

Even the federal govern-ment believes some of Ari-zona’s laws overstep bounds. Itsued over the State’s immigra-tion law, and it recently filed acourt brief against Arizona’scitizenship voter registration re-quirement, saying Congressforbids States from requiringproof of citizenship in order tovote.

It has been a slippery slopewith regard to voter identifica-tion since the controversy sur-rounding the 2000 presidentialelection. The federal Help

America Vote Act was signedin 2002, which, among otherthings, required first-time vot-ers to show identification whenthey went to vote. And we havebeen sliding ever since.

In all, 29 states havebroader voter-identification re-quirements than what the fed-eral government requires.Nearly 1,000 bills in total havebeen introduced in 46 states inthe last decade, including HB934 here in Pennsylvania. It’scertainly a hot topic.

The question is why? Propo-nents claim HB 934 would cutdown on voter impersonation,but this type of fraud rarely oc-curs. The Brennan Center saysthat more people are struck bylightning each year. The Penn-sylvania Sentencing Commis-sion said since 2004 there havebeen four cases of misrepresen-tation at Pennsylvania polls outof the 19.4 million ballots cast.

So while the cases of fraudare negligible, the hurdles cre-ated by this bill are real andwill result in voter suppressionand a $9.8 million price tag forthe State to implement.

I think people are even more

motivated to vote right now,and this bill will suppress voterturnout. Perhaps that is whatthe Republicans are after, sincemost of those impacted – seniorcitizens, inner-city residents,minorities and naturalized citi-zens – tend to vote Democratic.

For many of those withoutvalid government-issued ID,even obtaining the free photoID that the State would be re-quired to provide to all resi-dents under HB 934 will bedifficult due to transportationand mobility issues andwork/childcare conflicts.

Also at issue is the cost. ThePennsylvania Dept. of Trans-portation has said nearly700,000 Pennsylvanians lackphoto ID. A recent analysis bythe House Democratic Appro-priations Committee estimatesthat it will cost $9.8 million toimplement this.

It will generate ninemegawatts of electricity (9.0MW) – or roughly enough topower 1,500 homes – at theTerminal. The Riverside proj-ect will be nearly twice as largeas any previous rooftop solarinstallation in North America.

A pall of sorrow descendedon the Port of Philadelphiawith the report of the death of78-year-old Tom Holt, long amajor figure in the Port’s ac-tivities.

Though he had been suffer-ing for sometime from cancer,he remained an integral part ofHolt Logistics Corp. and otherHolt interests along both sidesof the Delaware River.

Gloucester Terminals andMichael manages DelawareAvenue Enterprises which in-cludes the Publicker site atabove Packer Avenue and sev-eral refrigerated warehouses.

Part 29/35Long before the popular Dollar Stores and Walmarts appeared in

the United States and throughout the world, the Philadelphia Orches-tra was invited by President Nixon and the government of China toperform in the fall of 1973. Writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer,the senior music critic, Daniel Webster (who accompanied the Orches-tra on its trip to China) headlined his February 2, 1979 article: “Visitto China... ORCHESTRA OPENED THE DOOR,” with thesewords: “It was clear that the Orchestra had been chosen to play arole in bridging the distance between the two countries... Its returnwas the single event which stimulated a widespread effort at estab-lishing further exchanges, and which brought an increasing num-ber of Americans to China...

Now with the barriers falling quickly, the Chinese are arguingin their wall posters for freedom to hear disco music, wear Westernclothes and even touch each other in public...

The Orchestra then was a metaphor for shared understandingof an art that transcended politics... In the long march of diplo-macy, that visit and its resonances announced a basis for under-standing which will have harmonious implications for a long time.”

Before departing with his musicians on this significant adventure,the conductor and music director, Eugene Ormandy, exclaimed:“This is bigger than music.” Thirty eight years later, the maestro wasright with approximately 13,000 Dollar Stores (General & Tree) operating within the United States, and 8,412 Walmarts circling the globe.

During the era of detente, the primary role of the Philadelphia Orchestra has been overlooked, hardly noticed, and underplayed

as millions of consumers have subsequently bought numerous products from these corporations—mostly coming from China. Therefore, it is highly urged that all Dollar Stores, Walmarts (and clones) recognize and honor the Orchestra—the primecontributor to your successes, and now in need of your help

with regard to the Orchestra’s present legal woes inbankruptcy court.

Salt Institute warns toomuch water without salt cancause water intoxication, aserious, even deadly, medicalemergency

In a heat wave, everyoneknows you need to drinkmore water. But health ex-perts say you also need moresalt. In fact, drinking toomuch water alone can causea potentially deadly medicalemergency with symptomssimilar to heat stroke.

The Salt Institute, aworldwide authority on salt,advises anyone in extremeheat – particularly outdoorathletes, infants and the eld-erly – that drinking too muchwater without salt can causea potentially deadly medicalemergency with symptomssimilar to heat stroke.

“You must also replacethe sodium and potassiumalong with the water,” saysDr. David McCarron, an ad-junct professor with the De-partment of Nutrition at theUniversity of California-Davis. “This is why athletesdrink sports drinks likeGatorade, rather than justwater.”

When the body loses elec-trolytes, typically from per-spiration, over-rehydrationwith only water will producehyponatremia, also calledwater intoxication. Hypona-tremia symptoms are similar

to those of heat exhaustionand heat stroke and can oftenbe overlooked. Symptomsrange from mild to severeand can include nausea, mus-cle cramps, disorientation,confusion, seizures, comaand death.

To avoid this condition,marathon runners are advisedto consume extra salt. Thisadvice should also be consid-ered by those exposed to theexcessive heat much of thecountry has been experienc-ing. Salt is critical in main-taining hydration.

The proper balance ofelectrolytes in the humanbody is essential for normalfunction of the cells and or-gans. Electrolytes help toregulate cardiovascular andneurological functions, fluidbalance and oxygen delivery.

Water intoxication is morecommonly seen among ath-letes, but older individualsare also at high risk for sev-eral reasons. Their kidneysare less efficient at conserv-ing salt when the body isstressed and common med-ications such as diureticsgreatly increase that risk.That is one reason why dur-ing severe high temperatures,news accounts most oftenrefer to elderly victims of theheat.

Infants are also at risk be-cause too much water dilutes

a baby’s normal sodium lev-els and can lead to seizures,coma, brain damage anddeath.

Although most hypona-tremia victims may not have

obvious symptoms, severehyponatremia is a medicalemergency that has causeddeath. The low sodium levelis restored to a normal levelby gradually and steadily giv-

ing salt and water intra-venously. Milder cases canbe handled by administeringof salt and fluid by mouth.

So the next time the localmeteorologist recommendscranking up the air condi-

tioner and drinking a lot ofwater to beat the heat, re-member that doctors recom-mend also cranking up yourintake of electrolytes, partic-ularly salt and potassium.

Michael A. Cibik, EsquireAmerican Bankruptcy

Board CertifiedQuestion: What is the truthabout a lease reaffirmation?Answer: Leases are their ownanimal under the bankruptcycode. They are neither se-cured debt, nor unsecureddebt.The Bankruptcy Code pro-vides that leases can be as-sumed or rejected. Rejection,as you might have guessed,means nope, not interested,take your leased property

back, don’t want it anymore.The Chapter 7 discharge re-moves your personal liabilityfor that lease, end of story.How do you reject a lease?Happens automatically if youdo not assume it. Now, maybeyou rent where you live, oryour car, and you want tokeep it. So, you assume thelease. Sign an assumption, thecreditor signs, you file it, and,the lease is assumed.Next week’s question: Howquickly can I file a bank-ruptcy?
