Phillies Phan Registration Edge Key For SethGun Control Emerges As First Target

by Tony WestBarring a lightning stroke, Seth Williams

will return to the District Attorney’s Officeafter the Nov. 3 General Election, this timeas its head. It’s not that his opponent, Re-publican Michael Untermeyer, lacks compe-tence, energy and important ideas. But the

last time a Republican candidate, RonCastille, held the DA’s seat in 1991, the ratioof Republicans to Democrats in the city stoodat 1:3. Today it’s 1:6. That cliff is just toosteep to climb without a huge infusion ofcampaign cash, which has not appeared,given the fact politicos acknowledge 75% of

the time people vote their party affiliation ex-cept in Presidential elections.

So Williams, who began his career in theDA’s Office in the 1990s, is now in the po-sition of crafting its public direction for yearsto come.

New Bus Will Burn

Public transportation is at thecore of efforts to “Go Green” – andSEPTA is helping lead the waywith an aggressive effort to addcleaner-burning, fuel-efficient hy-

brid buses to its fleet.To celebrate this progress, SEPTA

officials, including General Mgr.Joseph M. Casey and Board Chair-man Pat Deon, gathered with Federalofficials and an executive from hybridbus manufacturer New Flyer ofAmerica, Inc. on Monday at the Mid-vale Depot – the place many ofSEPTA’s hybrids call home.

“Public transportation has longbeen the most environmentallyfriendly way to get around, and it’sonly getting greener with more hybridbuses on the road,” Casey said.“SEPTA is proud to be an industryleader in providing cleaner, more-fuel-efficient modes of travel bybringing more hybrids into its fleet.”

SEPTA currently has 252 diesel-electric hybrids quietly windingthrough Philadelphia-area streets, andhas plans to add hundreds more in thecoming years. By 2010 alone, morethan a quarter of SEPTA’s overallbus fleet of approximately 1,450 willconsist of hybrids.

Among the newest additions are 40 (Cont. Page 2)

NAACP AddsIts ‘No’ ToKeystones

City’s Needle Exchange DecriminalizedPhiladelphia’s controversial needle-exchange program no longer violates State law. It was a program that broke the

State law with the approval of the City’s last two Mayors, including the current one. The program, at different loca-tions throughout the city, dispensed free needles to hundreds of addicts in order to stop the sharing of needles and thespread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C.

The program wreaked havoc incommunities, especially those inKensington, where activists pointed tothe increase in criminal activity by ad-dicts, and the increase in addicts whobased their activities around the Nee-dle Exchange Wagon stops.

The organization charges,“The changes proposed byFinal-Form Regulation No.006-312 will so drasticallytransform public education(and hence society) as to de-mand legislative review.”

The intent of the StateLegislature was previouslymade known by their passingof HR 456, which had beenco-sponsored by 161 mem-bers of the PA State Assem-bly House of Representatives.

Among other concerns re-garding the Keystone Exams,NAACP Statewide member-ship, representing thousandsof Pennsylvania taxpayersfrom a broad range of socialand economic backgrounds,cites “Pew Center: Report onthe States 2008”, which says,“The Final-Form Regulationcreates a system of high-stakes tests that threaten thehealth, safety and welfare ofall citizens of the Common-wealth. In the 22 states wherethe high-school diploma hasbeen attached to studentscores on high-stakes tests,there has been an increase inthe dropout rates as well as anincrease in the incarcerationrates.”

The organization alsobrings up the burden the

Final-Form Regulation willsurely impose on taxpayers,claiming it will cost residentsof the State billions of dollarsby pushing students out ofhigh school with no diploma.According to the letter, high-school dropouts are finan-cially immobilized,experience shorter lives thanthose with a high-schooldiploma due to the lack ofhealth care, live in povertyand therefore must accesspublic assistance for food andshelter in order to sustainthemselves, and they mustdepend on emergency-roommedical treatment.

It is also well documented,according to the NAACP,that people who leave schoolwithout a diploma are morelikely to become incarceratedat some point in their lives.Since prisons are known to bebreeding grounds for com-municable diseases, higherincarceration rates make itmore possible for diseasessuch as Hepatitis C and HIVto be introduced from prisoninto the community.

Furthermore, the Final-Form regulations create asystem which places studentsin underfunded districts at aclear disadvantage. Thosestudents in such districts can-not afford validation costs

and are therefore unable totake advantage of the bestpractice-process of multipleforms of assessment, towhich more well-funded dis-tricts have access.

Thus, “underfunded dis-tricts will be forced to defaultto the paper and pencil ‘endof course’ tests provided bythe State,” meaning those“students who are test-phobicor who best display theirknowledge and skills throughportfolio assessments and/orother evaluative techniquesface the systematic, officialintimidation of stringent bar-riers to the high-schooldiploma.”

While the State Board ofEducation remains set to putin place the Keystone Examsstarting in the next schoolyear, it will have to overcomea number of obstacles alongthe way. The proposed test-ing regimen has a long wayto go before it can be offi-cially finalized. It will neverbe seen as “perfect” in theeyes of its opponents. Yet theState Legislature will almostcertainly struggle to approveit in the end, despite its cur-rent push against the Key-stone Exams in their currentform, because, as everybodyknows, you can’t pleaseeverybody.

(Cont. from Page 1)hybrids being purchased with$17.8 million in Federalgrants under the AmericanReinvestment & Recovery Actof 2009. These will be deliv-ered to SEPTA through nextyear by New Flyer.

“These new hybrid busesare another shining exampleof the American Recovery andReinvestment Act at work inthe Philadelphia area,” saidUS Sen. Robert P. Casey, Jr.“Not only will they improvetransportation within SEPTA,but they will help make the en-tire system more energy effi-cient and set an example ofsuccessful green technolo-gies.”

Joining the Senator at Mon-day’s event at the MidvaleDepot were two other mem-bers of Pennsylvania’s Con-gressional Delegation, Chaka

Fattah and Joe Sestak. Theyall praised SEPTA’s continuedefforts to “Go Green.”

The 40 buses being pur-chased under the ARRA bol-ster an already robust andgrowing number of hybrids inthe transit authority’s fleet.SEPTA is purchasing over400 additional hybrids fromNew Flyer through 2011under a four-year deal withthe Minnesota-based com-pany.

By the time all of thesebuses are delivered and putinto service, approximatelyone of every three buses oper-ating on SEPTA routes in theregion will be powered byfuel-efficient, diesel-electrichybrid engines.

The hybrid buses are pow-ered by an advanced parallelhybrid-electric power trainusing an electric battery sys-

tem and traditional dieselpower. The electrical anddiesel systems work togetherto conserve energy during var-ious functions, including startsand braking. By using the con-served energy to recharge thebattery, the bus uses less fueland the power train is de-signed to significantly reducevarious fuel emissions.

Hybrid buses are up to29% more fuel-efficient thantraditional diesel buses, andcan reduce carbon-monoxideemissions by 80% and carbon-dioxide emissions by 38%.They are also quieter-running,reducing noise pollution.

With one of the nation’slargest hybrid-bus fleets,SEPTA is becoming an attrac-tive destination for those in-terested in the growing field of“green careers.”

SEPTA General Mgr. Joseph M. Casey; USSen. Robert P. Casey Jr.; Congressmen ChakaFattah and Joe Sestak; and SEPTA BoardChairman Pat Deon were all on hand atSEPTA’s Midvale Depot Monday to celebrateaddition of more hybrid buses to SEPTA’s fleet.

Keystone Opponents Grow

Seth Lays Out His Goals For DA Office(Cont. from Page 1)

Gun violence is the toppublic-safety concern forPhiladelphians today. There-fore, the 42-year-old WestPhiladelphia attorney hasmade illegal control the focusof many policy initiatives.

“I will use fundamentalinvestigative techniques todismantle the networks thattraffic illegal guns,”Williams vows. “Out-of-state and straw purchasesallow guns to change handsseveral times before beingsold on the street. By usingwiretaps, sting operations,and solid criminal investiga-tion, I will bring illegal guntraffickers to justice.”

When Williams ran for

DA in 2005, he advocatedcreating an inter-agency GunViolence Task Force to bringadditional resources to thefight against illegal guns. Al-though he lost the primary,DA Lynne Abraham woundup collaborating with the At-torney General to form theTask Force in 2006.

However, lawbreaking inPhiladelphia is governed bylaws that are written in Har-risburg. Williams has al-ready started working withState legislators to enact gunlegislation with the city’sneeds in mind. More than adozen members of thePhiladelphia delegation in theGeneral Assembly have en-dorsed Williams. They have

pledged to work together toauthor bills to come downhard on buyers and sellers ofillegal guns.

Williams hopes to capital-ize on Philadelphia’s presentanti-violence and anti-guninitiatives by expanding pro-grams that work and cuttingthose that don’t. Buy-backinitiatives like that sponsoredby Jeff Brown’s Shop Ritesupermarkets (Brown wasan early and dedicated sup-porter of Williams’ cam-paign), gun exchanges forvouchers, and no-questions-asked gun surrenders at Po-lice stations have collectedthousands of guns. Look formore efforts like these onWilliams’ watch.

Williams wants the DA’sOffice to target the demandfor guns by jumpstarting anearly-intervention gun-awareness program.Through a partnership withthe School District, he wantsto make gun awareness andprevention a part of orienta-tion for every school. Hewould also partner with theHealth Dept., Dept. ofHuman Services and otheragencies to approach gunprevention as the expensivepublic-health issue it has be-come.

One study found, “Over-all, each gunshot victim gen-erated an estimated averageof $9,209 in uncompensatedcosts.”

Williams believes aproven, strategic anti-vio-lence program will benefitcommunities hardest hit bygun violence. He has pro-posed a public campaign,like those that have reducedteenage smoking, whichwill teach young people toconnect the dots betweenguns, prison time anddeath.

Early-intervention serv-ices at the peer-to-peerlevel will prepare studentswith nonviolent problem-solving skills, he hopes.

Williams advocates theuse of Youth AdvisoryBoards. Like the successfulYABs in San Diego, thesepanels aim to create a link

between students at publichigh schools and the DA’sOffice. YABs are made upof students, assistant DAvolunteers and other men-toring professionals. Theyconduct peer mediation andconflict-resolution work-shops, and serve on disci-plinary committees.

Williams has sworn toexpand after-school supportprograms like those of theThe Boys & Girls Club, theScouts and the Dept. ofRecreation. Williams alsoplans to create a new youthsports league under thewing of the DA’s Office.

Philadelphia will find outsoon enough if Williams isup to these challenges.

Engines and Transmissions

by Joe ShaheeliIf the present economic cli-

mate continues to dampenconsumers’ confidence, itcould also change their mind-set and cause a possible swingfrom the way they vote …this time, moving many tovote for Republican candi-dates in sheer desperation.That’s a suspicion shared bymany political observers.

The apathetic response ofvoters could materialize insome vote-switching, but notin big numbers, since regis-tration figures, especially here

in Philadelphia, are near anall-time low, with absentee-ballot requests on the low sideas well.

City Commission Chair-woman Margaret Tartag lione,who closely monitorsturnouts, believes the lessthan 8,000 registrationsrecorded through this electionseason and the less than 1,000applications received for ab-sentee ballots are “indicationswe may not surpass 21% invoter turnout.”

Democrats need to makesure the turnout does reach

her projection in order to in-sure a victory for their topconcern: getting Judge JackPanella onto the SupremeCourt. Below 20% couldmean a Republican victory.

City Republicans face astrategic quandary. On theone hand, they don’t object toa lower turnout, since itshould enhance the chances ofJudge Joan Orie Melvin tokeep Republican control ofthe Supreme Court. That con-trol, in turn, will determinethe end result of redistrictingof the seats in the General As-sembly. Locally, though,GOP candidates for DA andController feel they need astrong turnout from independ-ents as well as Republicans ifthey are to have a chance towrest either seat now held in aDemocratic stranglehold.Present Polls ShowToomey May WinAfter several interesting

polls and strong fundraisingnumbers posted by Republi-can Senate candidate PatToomey in the 3rd quarter,TV host and Pennsylvania na-tive Chris Matthews has ac-knowledged Toomey “couldbeat either one” of the De-mocrats in the Keystone State.Suburbs See Steamy

Battles CongressNational political ob-

servers are saying two of the

most hotly contested Con-gressional races in thecountry will be taking placein Delaware and Mont-gomery Cos., where two in-cumbent Representativesare stepping down to pursueloftier targets. One is a Re-publican and the other a De-mocrat.

As Philadelphia’s sub-urbs trend increasinglyDemocratic, that Party’sstreet-fighters are increas-ingly eager to pounce onopportunities to gain newground. Republicans, bycontrast, still feel the sub-urbs are theirs by right andhope to capitalize on popu-lar unease with the govern-ment’s anti-recessionmeasures to reclaim a seat.

Congressman Jim Ger-lach has weathered the ris-ing tide of Democratic voterregistration well. The mod-erate Republican has deeproots in Montgomery Co.,where he was first electedto the General Assembly in1990. In 2002, he won the6th Dist. Congressional seatand, despite a couple ofclose scrapes with LoisMurphy, who came within awhisker of knocking himoff after his first term, hassteadily increased his vic-tory margins since.

Now Gerlach is taking ashot at the GOP Gubernato-

rial slot. Leading Demo-cratic contender is DouglasPike, a former editorialwriter for the PhiladelphiaInquirer, who has alreadyracked up $600,000. He isbeing opposed by an IraqiWar veteran MananTrivedi. Although Iraqi vetshave done well in politicslately, Pike’s money shouldgive him the advantage.

Republican businessmanSteven Welch has alreadyraised a lot of money – hisown – for his try in the 6thDist. Indeed, his chief chal-lenge so far has been choos-ing which District to run in.Initially he had his eye onthe adjacent 7th Dist.,which lies mostly inDelaware Co. There, an-other veteran, Admiral JoeSestak, had taken the seatwith a dynamic campaign in2008. But Sestak will aban-don the House of Represen-tatives to take on newlyminted Democrat Sen.Arlen Specter in the Mayprimary.

However, last month alocal hero, former US At-torney Pat Meehan, veeredaway from the same Guber-natorial slugfest that Ger-lach is bound for andannounced he wanted the7th Dist. seat instead. Insid-ers considered Meehan astronger candidate andWelsh bowed out grace-fully.

At this point, the field onthe Dems’ side is small,with State Rep. Bryan Lentzas the only announced can-didate. Lentz is also anIraqi War vet and has wonthe respect of his colleaguesin Harrisburg.

Philly Teachers Show Red Power For TN Team

TEACHERS and support staff wear their red, PFT T-shirts to school and work every Friday to show their solidarity behind Philadelphia Federation of Teachers' Negotiating Team, whichhas been negotiating for several months to win a new collective bargaining agreement that is, in the words of PFT President Jerry T. Jordan, "good for kids and fair to teachers and staff."The PFT, 17,700 members strong and representing 75% of School District employees, is working under a contract extension that expires on Oct. 31. PFT hopes a new contract will reduceclass sizes permanently, improve school safety through adequate staffing and programs, provide alternative education placements and social services for chronically disruptive and violentyouths, hire sufficient nurses, counselors, psychologists, librarians and art and music teachers for all schools; maintain family health-care benefits for PFT members and improve salariesto help District compete with suburban schools to recruit and retain talented teachers and staff. PFT staff members across city will wear red every Fridays until a new agreement is reached.Pictured are faculties and staff from Anne Frank ES, J. Hampton Moore ES and A.L. FitzPatrick ES.

Fighting For Child Care

IN CENTER of crowd on Bible Way in W. Phila., State Rep.Vanessa Lowery Brown led rally to support child-care pro-grams that were devastated by budget impasse in Harrisburg.

Several legislators are work-ing to immunize as many city

residents as possible against theinfluenza strains that are sweep-

ing the nation.There are various forms of

the influenza virus that con-

stantly change, which is why itis recommended that individualsget a flu shot every year, ac-cording to the PhiladelphiaDept. of Health.

State Sen. Shirley Kitchenand Quality Community Health-care are encouraging the com-munity to take preventative stepsto be healthy this winter by of-fering free flu shots in October.

“As we move into autumn,

this is an opportunity to stay onestep ahead of the upcoming coldand flu season,” Kitchen said. “Iinvite the community to take thetime to get a free vaccinationthis October so that everyonecan stay healthy through thewinter.”

The free vaccination clinicsfor H1N1 (swine flu) for adultsonly, influenza and pneumoniawill be available from 9 to 11a.m. on, Friday, Oct. 23 andMonday, Oct. 26 at the Sena-tor’s District Office, 1701 W.Lehigh Ave., Suite 104. No ap-pointment is necessary.

State Rep. Frank Oliver isoffering free flu shots to his con-stituents in the 190th HouseDist. at his office at 2839 W.Girard Avenue on seven morn-ings from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.These dates are Tuesday andWednesday, Oct. 27 and 28;Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 9and 10; Monday and Tuesday,Nov. 16 and 17; and Monday,Nov. 30.

Question: What happenswhen the debtor in bankruptcydies or becomes incompetentbefore the case is closed?

Answer: In the case of aChapter 7, death or incompe-tency does not change any-thing. Because the Chapter 7trustee is in charge of admin-istering the estate for the ben-efit of the unsecured creditors,it makes sense that the case beallowed to continue, without

interruption.In a Chapter 13 reorganiza-

tion, it really depends onwhether or not the case cancontinue forward. If continu-ing the case will be helpful tothe parties, it may proceed.Also, the bankruptcy rulesmake it possible for the ad-ministrator of the debtor’s es-tate to protect exempt assetsfor the beneficiaries or for aconservator to manage credi-tors of an incompetent person.

Next week’s question:Can I move out of state whilemy bankruptcy is going on?

SNOOPER SCOOPER: Boss, this is for all CREDIT CARD HOLDERS. I have found outMASTER CARD has alerted F.I. A. CARD SERVICES that some of their card members’ ac-counts may have been compromised by a third party. I also have learned, through a ‘confiden-tial source’, over 1,000 of their accounts may have been taken by a well-known National ChainStore. They were ALL told there was definitely A BREACH OF SECURITY – this means allyour credit information may have been ‘compromised’ by this Chain Store. There is presentlyan investigation being conducted regarding this serious matter. MASTER CARD has assuredall of its Card Holders they will continue to MONITOR, any and all activities regarding theiraccounts. Presently F.I.A. CARD SERVICES is sending out NEW CARDS to all those in-volved. Any other problems, be sure to call them! Please keep close watch on all your accounts.SNOOPER’S SIGHTINGS: Hey Chief, guess who I just spotted going into The WanamakerBuilding on Juniper Street? How about SEN. WASHINGTON? She looked fabulous, andshe looked like she was ready to p-a-r-t-e-e. Hey, isn’t that SMITTY, Municipal Court’s wellknown “DRESSER OF THE YEAR” going down Market Street? He seems to be in quite ahurry, and he has a beautiful young lady with him (found out her name is BARBARA) andshe looks impeccably dressed. Where were these two going? Here comes IKE REESE fromWIP and CBS-3 TV. To my left, I just saw CYNTHIA and ALICE both are heading over to1301 Filbert Street, but why so early ladies? Where’s Tony West? I need him. There goesSUSAN, C.E.O. from Councilwoman Joan Krajewski’s office!SNOOPER SPORTS SCOOPER: Hey “SHADOWBOXER”, here’s one for you. Just infrom GREG SIRB, Executive Director of The State Athletic Commission. Dec. 14, up inScranton, Pa., BERNARD HOPKINS is set to fight again. He is PHILADELPHIA’S “Pride& Joy” and one of our greatest World Champions. I’m told, from another reliable source, thiswill be Bernard Hopkins’ “LAST HURRAH”; after all, he has a business to run, both he andDE LA HOYA. These two are fast becoming the “top promoters” in The Country and, Imight add, well deserved. This fight is all signed and sanctioned by The State Commission.SNOOPER “UPDATE”: Last week, I told all of you about the SPECIAL EVENT that willbe taking place on NOV. 5, THURSDAY, in Courtroom 653 - City Hall. Judge Halbert’swife MARCIA, his children, DR. ANDY HALBERT, a Dentist, also his three wonderful

Yo! Here we go again with this item that I have been doing for years already; I hopeyou have, too. But if this is your first time seeing this, or you just haven’t gotten aroundto it, then it could just save your life someday.

Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics to follow at the scene of an ac-cident when they come across your cell phone. ICE - ‘In Case of Emergency’. We allcarry our mobile phones with names and numbers stored in their memories but nobody,other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family orfriends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending uswould have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know whom to call. Yes, there are hundredsof numbers stored, but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hencethe ‘ICE’ (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of ‘ICE’ is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emer-gency situations. As mobile phones are carried by the majority of the population, all youneed to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contactedduring emergency under the name ‘ICE’.

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found when he went to the scenes ofaccidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know whichnumber to call. He therefore thought it would be a good idea if there was a nationallyrecognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, emergency-service per-sonnel and hospital staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply di-aling the number you have stored as ‘ICE.’

For more than one contact name, simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. It is a greatidea that will make a difference in an emergency!

Let’s all do this and let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in ourmobile phones today! Please pass this on. It won’t take too many ‘forwards’ beforeeverybody will know about the concept of ICE. It really could save your life, or put aloved one’s mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you cannot speak for yourself.

And always remember: Don’t regret growing old. There are many who are deprivedof this privilege.

Most of the time, this column focuses on the fun and games that is Philadelphia politics be-cause (a) Philly is where I live and (b) you can’t make up the stuff that I usually end up writ-ing about here.

But because my mom hasn’t been well, and she lives in New Jersey, I’ve been spending alot of time there. I was born and raised in New Jersey and, for a variety of reasons, I got theheck out of there as soon as I could.

Among the things about my home state that drive me crazy are (a) you must have a car tolive there because the public transportation options range from bad to worse. (I don’t everwant to hear anyone complain about SEPTA again unless they’ve tried to go anywhere usingNew Jersey Transit. Cleaner buses may be nice, but convenience is nicer.) (b) I’ve never meta group of people less willing to pay for what they use before in my life. If New Jersey wereto put even a 1% tax on clothing, there’d be a whole lot of naked folks running around.

And (c) It’s a state that seems to want to be New York on one end and Philadelphia on theother, yet it has nothing nice to say about either place.

But while you can find a nasty comment about Philadelphia or New York in any New Jer-sey newspaper (with the exception of New Jersey Network and WWOR-TV9 in Secaucus,Jersey has no TV stations to call its own), my home town seems to have picked something upfrom its larger neighbors to the north and south.

That something: really nasty campaign ads.While visiting my mom in the hospital earlier this week, I went to the hospital cafeteria for

something to eat. While I was waiting for my food, I saw some of the nastiest campaign com-mercials I’ve ever seen in Jersey.

The Jon Corzine/Chris Christie/Chris Daggett Gubernatorial ads weren’t all that much ofa surprise to me. I was expecting nasty there. You have an incumbent with a bunch of Gold-man Sachs money to blow, a George W. Bush pioneer, and an independent who’s cutting intothe Pioneer’s lead. New Jersey voters are going to have some of the best skin on the EastCoast thanks to all that mud.

But where I found it surprising was with the Freeholder and Assembly races in places likeMount Holly, Evesham, and my home town, Pemberton. People were accusing each other of

(Cont. Page 33)

The state of Philadelphia politics reminds me of one of my fa-vorite quotes from BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, who quipped,“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have forlunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” And sowe find that for 60+plus years, the wolves (the Democrat ma-chine) have feasted quite ravenously on mutton (the rest of us).The menu has featured such delicacies as blatant corruption, hightaxes, paltry City services, ballooning budgets, outrageous crimerates, poor schools, fewer jobs, and a city in decline.

This year, however, one of the lambs has decided to pick up a double-barreled shotgunand renegotiate the bill of fare. City Controller candidate AL SCHMIDT has refused to liedown like a sheep for slaughter. Pointing out corruption wherever he finds it, Al doesn’t givemuch credence to party labels and “good ol’ boy” networks. If you, the voter, Republicanor Democrat, are tired of being treated like the main course for overfed politicians, the choiceis clear this Nov. 3. Another great American also quipped, “People pretty much get the gov-ernment they deserve.” As it stands, we deserve better.

Speaking of deserving better, the upcoming election for Pennsylvania Supreme Court is,without a doubt, the most important in our lifetime. The winner will determine the balanceof the State’s highest court and, therefore, the redrawing of lines for legislative districts inone of the worst-gerrymandered states in America. Here’s what you need to know. Repub-lican JUDGE JOAN ORIE MELVIN believes in interpreting the Constitution as our Found-ing Fathers intended it. She has raised $190,000 statewide from mostly small donors, ishighly qualified, and has been an advocate for domestic-abuse victims for decades. Democ-rat JACK PANELLA believes the Constitution can be reinterpreted by unaccountable Judgeswho see things a little differently from our forefathers (they are, after all, way smarter thanour founders, right?). No wonder he’s gotten most of his support from trial lawyers and bigunions. He’s raised over $900,000, the lion’s share of that money (a whopping $500,000check!) coming from a trial lawyers PAC misleadingly named The Committee for a BetterTomorrow. How lovely! If PACs had to follow truth-in-advertising laws, a more-accuratename would be “The Monopoly for Greedy Trial Lawyers”. Another big chunk, $100,000,came to Panella’s coffers via our friend JOHN DOUGHERTY at IBEW Local 98. I won-der if my Electrician friends who are out of work know their union just cut a 100-grandcheck to some guy who’s never changed a lightbulb?

(Cont. Page 33)

Though it plans to leaveits home of 50 years within ayear, the Philadelphia Re-gional Produce Market, bet-ter known as the FoodDistribution Center, kickedoff its 50th anniversary atGalloway Street this week.From Monday throughtoday, it was offering freecontinental breakfasts to vis-itors and taking some of themon a tour of its new home onEssington Avenue, which isnow under construction.

PRPM officially marked

its 50th year with the cuttingof a gigantic cake yesterday.

An important economicengine in the region, theMarket has over 1,400 em-ployees. The move to its newlocation will bring 375 newjobs and $1.6 billion in saleswhen it opens next fall.

On any given day, theMarket is bustling with ship-pers and workers unloadingtruckloads of produce such aspumpkins, tomatoes and ex-otic fruits that come fromlocal producers and growers

worldwide. Vendors can beseen organizing shipmentswhile customers rapidly sur-vey merchant’s displays andnegotiate deals. The Marketreceives more than 500 cus-tomers every hour.

The topping-off ceremonyof the new site, which runsalmost a half-mile along Ess-ington Avenue, across fromthe famous South Philadel-phia Airport Auto Mall, lastweek marked the halfwaypoint of the construction.

The new facility, at a cost

of $400 million, will cover48 acres. It will be com-pletely air-conditioned andunder a closed roof. Onceopened, the Food Distribu-tion Center will go frombeing the second to becomingthe largest produce-terminalof its kind in the UnitedStates.

Its birth was long-or-dained, beginning in the1980s, when its vendorsbegan pushing for a movefrom what had become a de-teriorating, antiquated facil-ity that was already too smallfor them.

Government interestsbegan seriously looking tofind a new, more adequatefacility shortly after thePhiladelphia Regional Pro-duce Market’s Board of Ven-dors revealed they wereconsidering moving acrossthe Delaware River to takeadvantage of a site offered bythe State of New Jersey.

Sites were offered and de-clined, with agreement fromgovernment, funding agen-cies, local communities andPRPM merchants finallycoming to rest on the presentsite which had been resur-rected from “brown field”status. It is less than 10 min-utes from its present facility.

The Philadelphia RegionalPort Authority was vestedwith the responsibility of see-ing the facility get built. Duefor occupancy by next fall,the building’s construction iswell on schedule and withinbudget.

A college professoronce told his students that 10people speaking up for a causewill get some attention, but10,000 people speaking up forthe same cause will not onlyget attention, but results. Bythis, I mean if we and ourfamilies and friends all speakup where we shop, the store’spersonnel will take note andpass customers’ concerns onto management and those whoorder items for the store.

So much of our manufac-turing base has moved abroadthat it seems almost impossi-ble to turn this situationaround. In the last 10 years

many newly developed tech-nologies produce the items weuse on a regular basis moreeffectively and more cost-effi-ciently. The problem is, thesenew technologies have beeninstalled in manufacturing fa-cilities elsewhere in the world,bypassing American workersand the American economy.That must change, but youhave to be involved for it tohappen.

With America’s unemploy-ment rising, it’s time for busi-nesses to locate some of thosenew manufacturing technolo-gies in cities and states acrossthe USA. In order to get thatmessage out, we need to stopbuying on impulse and shoparound for every American-made product possible. If wedon’t do this, unemploymentwill continue to rise and

American workers and theirfamilies will continue to suf-fer.

As you consider your up-coming holiday shopping list,consider purchasing only theproducts you can find with the“Made in America” label. Iknow this will not be easy, butif we want to make an impres-sion, we have to make it in thecheckout line so cashiers andmanagers see that customersare going out of their way tosupport American workers.The main goal of this cam-paign is to keep Americanworkers employed by focus-ing on those products stillmade in America. Throughone purchase at a time, we canand will make an impressionand, in the process, supportAmerican workers and Amer-ica’s economy.

Looking Down The Ballot

Most Philadelphians who take the time to do their civic duty Nov. 3 by going to thepolls will see a lengthy ballot.

That ballot will be topped off by the Supreme Court candidates, then the SuperiorCourt, followed further down by local courts and finally the City row offices of Dis-trict Attorney and City Controller.

Off to the side will be 19 Judges running for retention, including one on the Supe-rior Court and another on the Commonwealth Court. Voters need only push the “yes”or “no” lever on whether to send them back to the bench for another 10-year term.

The majority of those voting won’t know much about many of these candidates, savefor those running for the City’s two row offices: the District Attorney and the CityController. Incumbent Controller Alan Butkovitz has gotten to be a familiar namethrough many of the audits his office has performed, the results of which have been re-leased to the media. DA Democratic candidate Seth Williams became a recognizedname by surviving a well-publicized primary battle with four other candidates.

Unfortunately, the Republican candidates for both positions, Al Schmidt for Con-troller and Michael Untermeyer for DA, had no opposition in the primary and, as a re-sult, got very little press coverage on television and in the major media.

Their efforts to draw the attention of the voting public to their platforms and goalshave met with some success but, as polls show, not in the numbers they need to winthis one.

Voter apathy is widespread. It shouldn’t be, though. Any ordinary citizen will tellyou the two biggest problems our City faces are crime on its streets and the gaping holein its budget. Guess which two public officials bear the chief burden of investigatingcrime and spending? The District Attorney and the City Controller. So we urge votersto weigh these two races carefully.

Sheer registration numbers outweigh the Republicans in this town six to one. Thesmall turnout of new registrations and absentee ballots indicates the Republican Partywas not able to generate much activity in these critical areas.

Democrats need to pull in about 20% of their Party faithful to insure victories fromthe Supreme Court down the line to the row offices. Odds favor their doing so.

But who knows? This is a funny town.

Another OpinionMake An American Impression

(Cont. from Page 1)Pharmacists and health-

care organizations applaud therecently enacted State law,which now allows over-the-counter sales of hypodermicneedles and syringes in Penn-sylvania. The legislation madeit possible for the Pennsylva-nia State Board of Pharmacyto amend its law requiring a

physician’s prescription inorder to obtain needles.

The Pennsylvania Pharma-cists Association supported thechanges, even though the ver-sion that passed sets no age re-strictions and no limit onpurchases. The associationhad wanted a requirement thatpurchasers be at least 18 yearsold and that no more than 30

needles could be purchased ata time.

“Our support for it was alittle bit stronger with thoselimitations, but ... after hear-ing more about it, we agreedto still support it,” said PatEpple, executive director ofthe association, which repre-sents 1,600 pharmacistsstatewide. “We agreed that itwas the best situation for peo-ple to be using clean needlesat all times – not that we sup-port drug abuse or anything

like that.”The needles will not be

placed on retail shelves andmust be stored behind thepharmacy counter, where apharmacist would distributethem.

“Overwhelming scientificresearch has indicated that in-creased access to sterile sy-ringes is an importantcomponent of infectious dis-ease reduction and does not in-crease injection drug use,”said Renee Cox, executive di-

rector of Prevention PointPittsburgh, another nonprofitneedle-exchange program thatsubmitted public testimonysupporting the legislation.

Programs such as Preven-tion Point Philadelphia allowinjection drug users to ex-change used needles for cleanones. The Philadelphia HealthDept. declared a public-healthemergency several years agoto allow the program to giveout clean needles to peoplewithout prescriptions. This

program also provides diseasetesting, counseling, overdoseprevention and referrals todrug-treatment programs.

Critics of the PhiladelphiaNeedle Exchange Program arenow asking the administrationto curtail the extra funding ex-pended by the City for theprogram, now that their majormission — exchanging needles— is no longer needed. Theycite the other services are re-dundant to what the City’shealth system now offers.

Bellini Grill is not a nameyou often see in articlesabout Center City restau-

rants, but thesmall, modestItalian BYOBat 220 S. 16thStreet un-doubtedly hasone of the

best bargains of any restau-rant in Center City.

Bellini Grill is now offer-ing a three-course dinner for$25.95 with choices from the

regular menu plus tax andgratuity and includes a com-plimentary glass of red orwhite wine. The menu fea-tures steamed white or redsauce mussels, arugula saladand fresh calamari forstarters; entrees like linguiniputtanesca, hand-made gnoc-chi, crab ravioli in a pestocream sauce, and grilledjumbo shrimp topped with alemon butter sauce and servedover spinach.

Dessert choices includetiramisu, chocolate moussecake or New York cheese-cake. A three-course menu is

also available for lunch for$15.95.

Robin Rinaldi, a tough re-viewer for the PhiladelphiaWeekly, wrote about BelliniGrill: “One meal here andyou may never walk by againwithout stopping in ... Onceinside, the vibe quickly shiftsto Old World Jersey, as Sina-tra and company croon in thebackground while elderlymen dig into their saltimboccaover their newspapers andchef-owner Jimmy Dakuworks the room.”

“When I started here inApril, 2002,” Daku, a native

of Albania, told me last week,“the previous restaurant (inthis location) was serving fastfood, so I worked hard tochange everything from thename to the cuisine and at-mosphere. My family owneda restaurant in the old coun-try. We would catch fish inthe Adriatic Sea and serve itthe same day, so it was sofresh. We were only 60 milesfrom Italy, so the food tradi-tions are the same. We havegreat pride in what we dohere, which I am doing formy two beautiful kids, Arbjonand Ejdia.”

In addition to the BYOBand $25.95 three-course din-ner, Bellini Grill has alsomade arrangements to have itscustomers park for $7 after 5p.m. at Expert Parking, 1617Chancellor St. (Make sureyou get your ticket stamped atthe restaurant.)

ALTHOUGH their manState Rep. KenyattaJohnson was trapped inHarrisburg workingovertime on budget,these supporters turnedout for his fundraiser atHaru in Old City: fromleft, James McGirt andDeborah Richardson ofChamps, and HenryWeaver of JohnGloucester House.

KICKING OFF 4-mile walk for health, State Sen. AnthonyWilliams, 2nd from right, led hundreds along Cobbs CreekParkway, including friend State Rep. Ron Waters.

Senior expos have becomea trademark of contemporarypolitical outreach by localpoliticians. Senior citizensconstitute an important votingbloc; at the same time, theyhave important special needsthat government is chargedwith addressing.

For that reason, seniorexpos flourish from one end ofthe city to another, sponsoredby State Senators, State Rep-resentatives and CouncilMembers.

Accomplishments cannotbe measured by size alone.Still, expo organizers respect alarge job well done.

One of the leading senior

expos in Philadelphia is spon-sored by State Sen. MikeStack, which District repre-sents most of NortheastPhiladelphia. This year’sexpo, which was held atCannstatter Volksfest Vereinon Academy Road, may haveset a benchmark for suchevents. “This expo had 125vendors, with more than 2,500seniors attending,” said KenBode, aide to Stack. “The sen-iors had the opportunity to talkto representatives from State,City and community agencies.The seniors enjoyed lunch andreceived items and door prizesfrom more than 40 local busi-nesses.” Now that’s service.

(Cont. From Page 23)the kinds of malfeasance that Iknow happens in small towns,but never expected to see intelevision ads.

For example: In one ad, theopponent of a gentlemanwho’s running for Assembly-man out of Evesham Town-ship makes a charge that hisrival was denied a civil-servicejob because he lied about hisbackground.

Like most Philly politicalads, this charge is made withabsolutely no context. Wedon’t know what he liedabout. We don’t know if heactually did it. It’s just outthere and New Jersey votersare expected to be able to sortit out on their own.

My mom doesn’t thinkPhilly is the safest place forme. She often hints (stronglyat times) she wouldn’t mind ifI came back to Jersey to live.She thinks things would bebetter for me there.

But to be honest, if I’m goingby the political ads I’ve seen thisseason and those ads alone, Ithink I’ll be staying in Philly.

At least here, you know theknives are coming out andwhich direction they’re com-ing from.

Judge Richard GordonTeaches Self Esteem

The summer season is overand with it are gone thescores of youngsters troopingthrough Judge Richard J.Gordon, Jr.’s court room aregone. But not forgotten arethe lessons learned in howtheir city’s criminal-justicesystem works.

Taking that knowledgewith them were youngstersfrom the G.R.E.A.T. Summercamp who came to Judge Gor-don’s courtroom as part of a13-week in-school program.The program, known as GangResistance Education andTraining, was able to use theCity courts, thanks to the ef-

forts of Administrative Judgeof Family Court Kevin M.Dougherty and Rev. JohnRoberts, special assistant toSheriff John Green.

Judge Gordon held thegroup’s interest right from thestart. He explained the natureof the work done in the court-room and staged a mock trialin which the students partici-pated.

Questions from the stu-dents included, “Why do youneed a Judge?”, “How doyou become a Judge?” and“What is a Justice?”.

Gordon also explained,“The Juvenile Justice System isnot designed to punish youth.Instead, we structure themthrough the ARTS”, explain-ing, “ARTS stands for Ac-countability, Rehabilitation,Treatment, and Supervision.”He said, “Your self-esteem isknowing when to say, ‘No’ toknuckleheads in the neighbor-hood who want you to breakthe law.”
