Williams Bags Endorsements; Will They Help?

POLS on the STREET

BY JOE SHAHEELI tate Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams (D-W. Phila.), short on cash and time, gained a big freebie in his bid to unseat incumbent Mayor Jim Kenney in the Democratic mayoral primary when former Mayor John Street endorsed him.

Street still matters in Philadelphia opinion. Of course, his family is famously independent in its political thoughts; but nobody disregards the word of any Street, a clan noted for fearlessness and loyalty.

Street weighed in, “In 2015, a lot of people agreed to give Jim Kenney a chance.

I think he has proven over the years to be out of touch with neighborhoods.” He wrote off Kenney as a mayor who “did not work for the people who helped elect him.”

Kenney’s campaign was not surprised by the endorsement. Street did not endorse Kenney in 2015.

Street and Kenney were never close when both served on City Council in the 1990s. “Mayor Street is entitled to support whoever he wants,” said Kenney campaign spokesman Harrison Morgan.

Like any wise incumbent, Kenney is campaigning on his daywork, the multitudinous business his administration carries out every day.

Street underscored Kenney’s handling of City funds and the increase in homicides under his administration. “Sen. Williams will declare an emergency and put in place a public-safety plan so that people are not afraid to go outside of their homes. He will find the resources we need in order to make people safe in this city.”

Kreidie: Register Tenants by Landlords According to Laura Connell Pyott, a mathematics professor at West Chester University, there has been a concerted effort to get renters registered to vote through Landlord Tenant Voter Registration ordinances in cities and towns

since 2012.

Marwan Kreidie, a candidate for Commissioner in the Democratic primary, agrees with Pyott: a significant segment of the voter-eligible population would vote if the registration process were simpler and more accessible. Young people who are eligible but unregistered are the most likely to plan to register, per the Pew 2017 study. Research shows that “movers” – citizens who change residences frequently and often rent – have a lower rate of registration and consequently voting.

Kreidie is pledging to push City Council to introduce and pass Landlord Tenant legislation if he is elected Philadelphia Commissioner.

Rochelle Bilal, longtime president of the Guardian Civic League, has enlivened the interesting race for sheriff in the Democratic primary with a statement on how she would affect policy in this important city agency.

“The Sheriff’s Office focuses on three critical areas,” Bilal stated: “protection of courts and City officials; transport of prisoners; and, of course, the sheriff AT YOUR SERVICE

o the crowd assembled on a perfect spring day at the Western edge of the country’s most historic neighborhood, Tuesday’s announcement that the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game would be played at Citizens Bank Park was a great excuse to see Phillies greats like Mike Schmidt, Greg Luzinski and Bob Boone stride alongside current stars like Aaron Nola and Bryce Harper in the flesh as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed what he rightly called “the worst-kept secret in baseball.”

But for those of us with a sense of history and an eye toward the future, this unusual announcement – like every other professional league, MLB announces its All-Star Game venues in chronological order but made an exception for the country’s sesquibicentennial – is welcome news in the yearslong effort to make the city’s celebration of the country’s 250th birthday more like the 1876 Centennial, which drew some 10 million visitors to the Cradle of Liberty, and less like the 1926 Sesquicentennial celebration, which was pronounced by no less than Variety magazine as “America’s Greatest Flop.”

Times have changed – there is little chance that the world will be clamoring to send representatives, gifts, and more to whatever fair grounds are ultimately established. And odds are not good that the 250th

celebration’s physical presence will come anywhere close to the enormous impact of the 1876 and 1926 events.

But that’s just fine with us. We don’t need any more brick-and-mortar monuments. What we do need is to continue to support the work begun by USA250, the nonprofit striving to create a celebration worthy of the greatest living experiment in democracy and the greatest city to result from it. To do that, we will need more than just one All-Star Game.

We will need a commitment to reclaiming American democracy and to moving our city forward as an example of what Philadelphia and the country can accomplish at 250 years young – to show that just as baseball continues to replenish its talent ranks and reinvent itself according to that talent, so does our fair city.

Incivility and Its Discontents

BY G. TERRY MADONNA & MICHAEL L. YOUNG ove and marriage, as the old ditty has it, may not always go together, but incivility and polarization sure go hand in hand in contemporary American politics. It’s virtually impossible to separate them.

More importantly, it has led to chronic dysfunctionality in government.

Recently, in a rare moment the Pennsylvania state party chairs, Democrat Nancy Patton Mills, and Republican Val DiGiorgio, agreed to participate in a student-organized forum on civil discourse and polarization on the campus of Franklin & Marshall College.

What happened at the forum is revealing. Both party leaders decried the lack of civil discourse and urged compromise as a way forward. They agreed that progress is virtually impos-

L

sible to achieve if polarization and fierce partisanship lead to meaningless and constant attacks on one another.

Particularly troubling to the party leaders was dealing with polarization among their membership – specifically bringing about compromise on issues their rank and file feel so strongly about. What led to the sharpest exchanges between the two-party chiefs was the extreme differences over the significant issues of the day.

The fixedness of party policy positions became immediately evident when health care, climate change and gun control came up; where differences exist between Democrats and Republicans on these and many other issues, compromise is virtually impossible to achieve.

Perhaps the most-dramatic moment in the fo-

rum came when the GOP head dramatically altered his tone on compromise, complaining bitterly about the treatment of Donald Trump, charging that Democrats have been much less compromising than Republicans, and arguing that his party had been “kicked in the teeth” by Democrats.

Thus the forum itself vividly demonstrated the polarization problem while making it clear that the problem was not limited to national and state levels, but had reached local governments as well.

Worse, perhaps, the historically hallowed notion of compromise, underlying our federal system of separation of powers, is increasingly an object of contempt and scorn. Our times are being compared for its divisiveness, lack of comity and corrosive spirit of vituperation to the earlier debate (Cont. Next Page)

Incivility and Its Discontents

(Cont. From Prev. Page) over slavery, the Civil War, the New Deal, and the fierce disagreement over Vietnam.

The comparisons may be overdrawn, but perhaps excepting the Civil War era, we have not been so divided as a people about what America is or should aspire to become.

Nor is there any ambiguity about the toxic consequences of polarization. Government gridlock, flawed policies, growing chaos in our institutions and alienated voters is the bitter fruit of chronic polarization. If united we stand and divided we fall, the future looms could be a shaky one.

To be sure, elections still matter, and in earlier decades they have often sorted things out, resolving the irresolvable, solving the insoluble, and returning the nation to political stability and harmony. Lately, however, elections more often just mobilize the anger, fuel the fears and feed the divisive-

ness that polarizes us.

The problem is a fundamental one. The electorate and the politicians they elect have discovered ideology – both” right-wing” and “leftwing” varieties – often locking both voters and elected officials into rigid, inflexible pre-formed thinking.

The problem with introducing systematic ideological thinking into American politics is that the entire structure of shared and overlapping powers created by the Founding Fathers breaks down when rigid idealism replaces consensus and compromise.

Extreme politics and ideological thinking have always existed in American politics – but usually at the margins of the political dialogue and power. For much of American history, politics has played out toward the center of the political spectrum, orchestrated mostly by mod-

erate and centrists willing to seek consensus among competing interests.

Those politicians are gone, that electorate is gone and increasingly America’s ability to govern itself is gone.

The underlying roots of our polarization inspired governmental dysfunctionality are not mysterious: our form of government is federal but our electorate more clearly resembles the ideologically driven coalition politics characterizing parliamentary systems. Our political “split personality” produces the schizophrenic politics witnessed daily.

Ultimately, we must decide whether to continue down the road we are onaway from consensus politics and stable governing – or we must turn back toward the moderate – centrist politics that allowed the country to thrive for almost two and a half centuries.

by

WILLIAMS

Sheriff on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff ’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid.

Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold.

The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County.

The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudu-

SHERIFF’S SALE lent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine.

The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale.

All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb.phila.gov for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006 NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a Schedule of Distribution Thirty (30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter.

The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions.

The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ.

Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales

BY DENISE CLAY ’m going to start this column about the Major League Baseball All-Star Game coming to Philadelphia in 2026 by pointing out the predictability of Philadelphians when it comes to major national (or international) events coming to our fair city.

Phillies fans, muckety-mucks and current and former Phillies All-Stars, including the dude that the team just spent $330 million on, gathered at Independence Mall on Tuesday to announce that the premier

and Roxborough are busy trying to figure out which Council at-large candidates to cut, ward leaders in Center City, much of South Philly, the River Wards and University City, are trying to grow the Party with a new breakaway group.

Registration drives, events and hyper-political coordination are happening with this wing of the party, known as the “Coalition of Republican Wards.”

The genesis of this movement is still unclear; however, it sprang up with several anti-establishment South Philly ward leaders and has now spread across the city to all of those that want a serious opposition party.

While establishment leaders may be more concerned with the few goodies that the party and their Democrat allies provide them, these dissidents are increasingly rejecting

these leaders.

Rumors about earth-shattering indictments continue to swirl.

Allegedly, law enforcement has been combing through Republican campaign finance reports over the last few years with special attention.

With 2020 looming, the Trump Organization is already on the ground in Philly looking for serious leadership and all signs point that these “Republican rebels with a cause” are being tapped to help keep Pennsylvania red.

All this talk of revolution notwithstanding, Republican success in 7-1 Democratic Philadelphia depends on sensitivity to prevailing public sentiment in Philadelphia.

So city Republicans must craft a dialog that respects core civic concerns at times, even when they differ from the national party line. All politics is local.

showcase of the best players participating in America’s Pastime would be coming to America’s Birthplace to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday.

(I didn’t realize that America was about to turn 250. I wonder what you get a 250-year-old country. How about an actual working democracy that isn’t reliant on a relic designed to keep anyone who isn’t a white, male landowner from voting? Or reparations for the descendants of the slave labor that you and most the Western Hemisphere relied on to make you rich? Or, I don’t know, how about retuning the land you stole to the people you now have all bunched up on reservations? The possibilities are endless … but I digress….)

Now, in any other place in America, the news that MLB was bringing its midseason showcase to the ballpark named for one of the banks that former Trump campaign manager Paul

Manafort ripped off would be considered good news.

Sure, neighbors would be wondering how they might be inconvenienced, and folks would be watching the City’s coffers to make sure that the reimbursements promised made their way into the accounts, but the bragging rights would be exercised. It would be a point of pride with most places.

But Philadelphia ain’t most places. Which is why I know that by the time I finish writing this piece, I’m going to see at least one or two columns bemoaning the All-Star Game, the tourists coming to see it, and the hotel room nights those tourists will book.

I’ll also be inundated by talk-radio hot takes blaming it and every other sports celebration, ranging from the 1980 World Series parade to the 1983 NBA Championship Parade to the 2008 World Series parade to the (Cont. Page 17)

WALKING the BEAT

BY JOE SHAY STIVALA large daily-press exposé on CITY C O U N C I L GRANTS to community groups is much ado about nothing. The chief complaint about the funding is that it is not audited – which is easily remedied. The feature blasted the BURKE Playground support nonprofit and wondered how it spends grant money. I have lived in the area over a lifetime, and the programs and activities are VERY CLEAR to me and others! The article seems shocked that grants

ormer MAYOR JOHN STREET endorsed STATE SEN. ANTHONY HARDY WILLIAMS for mayor against incumbent JIM KENNEY. Why is this a coup?

First, Street is notoriously cagey. It’s hard to lock him down definitively even when he’s being helpful.

This is a quality that most experienced politicians have. So this shows real commitment. And Street was extraordinarily successful as mayor of Philadelphia.

Usually, former mayors

were given to FOR-PROFIT groups such as youth boxing clubs (?). Ever see a kids’ boxing club MAKE A PROFIT? Boxing’s real story is one of GREAT STRUGGLE in old buildings to help youth. That same publication should publicize the clubs – as well as nonprofit grant recipients – since they are a WELLSPRING of youth growth and a Philly TRADITION. Sometimes critical stories, such as this one, have ended valued programs – so that the community suffers a loss and quality of life is decreased. Let’s hope that this is not the ADVENT of promised increased media investigations (?). It only brings frivolous features.

How about a story on the old case of the STOLEN JELLO from a City Assessment Office refrigerator?

It is unresolved despite the City Inspector General’s Office being next door!

MAYOR JIM KENNEY is

blasted in the press for deleting emails on his phone to make space. The article pronounced the pro-Kenney decision by the State Open Records Office on the deletions was due to “flawed” law. The article was straight news reporting. KEEP YOUR OPINION OUT; you are not a judge! On the Kenney deletions: WHO CARES? An opinion piece, supposedly about all candidates for SHERIFF, turned into a harangue on elimination of the office. It seemed aimed at a select group of those who agree: the ingratiating style. Was it a KISS-UP? Writing that way never solved an issue.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nichole FULLER, an AFLCIO mainstay! And to stalwart Councilman Allan DOMB! Domb is assisting Jim JENKINS in his 10,000 U.S. Flags Across Philly campaign. Jenkins, who strings for the Philadelphia (Cont. Page 15)

don’t go against the incumbent unless they have a good reason. Sam must infer that John Street attempted to gain Mayor Jim Kenney’s assistance on one project or another and failed. That’s why Street doesn’t care what Kenney thinks.

That is the problem with Jim Kenney. Word on the street is that he talks to nobody and does nothing for anybody. Philadelphia is a big city with small-town values. And there are still insiders and ward leaders who need attention and political favors. But Kenney believes that he has no need for organization types. The only thing he needs is good commercials.

Kenney still does have the key powerhouse in JOHN DOUGHERTY. Doc does not care for Williams, who has already said negative things about the union leader. The endorsement

by Street doesn’t necessarily provide money but his support announces that key

Black leaders will be with Williams.

The last time around, Williams got a smaller percentage of the African American vote than he needed. Kenney trounced him by beating him in his own backyard.

To win, Williams must have a large majority of the African American vote, and the support of John Street at least puts him on that road.

Then there is the issue of all the different sample ballots that will be handed out on election day. With the large number of judicial and council candidates, there are likely to be hundreds of variations on the ballots. So Williams will need to be on as many ballots as possible and other candidates must want to be on his. This is another aspect of the Wild West lottery that is Philadelphia during municipal elections. There has to be a better way.

umnist tried it again, this time linking “machine” politics from the “67 years of GOP misrule” in early Philly to the present-day Democrats (no real connection).

The 50 miles of subway planned in the early days never came to pass under the GOP. And when the Democratic REFORMERS

swept into office in the 1950s, they DID NOT see much to it. Extra subway track could mean more crime and a broken SEPTA budget. Subways cost billions to remove once routes become obsolete and would dump rats on our streets. Many cities now opt for above-ground rail to connect with sub-

ways. A subway extension 15 to the Navy Yard would need expensive pumps due to the high water table, while a little-used surface track into Northeast Philly (Somerton) could be subway-connected at Fern Rock. So, sir, we are quite happy with our present rail system. Thank you very much!

The DA’s Office has had a SPLENDID RECORD to date, but persons pushing this “Putsch” may have caused the DA’s first MISSTEP (?).

The wonderful daily-press story on greatly increasing 2020 Real Property ASSESSMENTS makes one wonder how the assessment office can determine 2020 market values so far in advance, with 2019 appeals to be resolved – not to mention a market DOWNTURN. You might read into this sordid scenario that we made a BIG MISTAKE when we put the assessment office under mayoral

Primary Voter Registration Is Now Online

W

ith the deadline to register to vote for the May 21 municipal primary fast approaching – it is April 22 – Acting Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar is reminding Pennsylvanians the

Online Voter Registration is the quickest and easiest way to register.

“Voting makes our democracy work. And when you vote in municipal elections you are helping to make the decisions that

will most affect your local community,” Boockvar said.

“Now, with OVR, registering to vote or updating your registration is more convenient than ever.”

On May 21, voters who are registered as Republi-

can or Democrat will choose their parties’ nominees for judicial and local government positions.

Boockvar encouraged eligible citizens to use the state’s OVR site, whether they are registering for the

first time or updating an existing registration with a change of name, address or party affiliation. You can find out how to do this at https://www.votespa.com/ Register-to-Vote/Pages/ How-to-Use-Online-Voter-Registration.aspx “More than 1.3 million Pennsylvanians have registered to vote or updated an existing registration through OVR. It’s more secure and accurate than a traditional paper form,” Boockvar said. “The OVR system reduces the chance of error by ensuring that applications are complete when submitted.”

Even applicants who do not have a driver’s license or PennDOT ID card may complete their registration online, thanks to a feature that allows users to easily upload a digital copy of their signature.

Individuals wishing to register to vote in the May 21 primary must be: • A citizen of the United States for at least one month before the primary.

• A resident of Pennsylvania and of the election district in which the individual plans to register and vote for at least 30 days before the primary.

• At least 18 years of age on or before the date of the primary.

Eligible voters also can register by mail or apply in person at a county voter registration office; county assistance offices; Women, Infants & Children program offices; PennDOT photo and drivers’-license centers; Armed Forces recruitment centers; county clerk of orphans’ courts or marriage license offices; area agencies on aging; county mental health and intellectual disabilities offices; student disability services offices of the State System of Higher

ACTING Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar

Education; offices of special education in high schools; and Americans with Disabilities Act-mandated complementary paratransit providers.

Applications for new registration, change of address or change in party affiliation must be postmarked or received in county voter registration offices by April 22.

Pennsylvania law requires a closed primary, meaning only voters registered as Democrats or Republicans will select nominees to represent their party in the general election on Nov. 5.

The Department of State’s website, votesPA. com, available in English or Spanish, offers printable voter registration applications, a polling place locator and county boards of elections contact information.

It also includes tips for firsttime voters and members of the military.

In addition, voters can familiarize themselves with the voting system they will use in their home county on Election Day. For more information on voter registration, call the Department of State’s tollfree hotline at 1-877-VOTESPA (1-877-868-3772) or visit votesPA.com.

They were so angry with their parental establishment types who supported HILLARY CLINTON. Now BERNIE’S back again. But what’s really funny is he’s been exposed as a member of the 1%. That’s right: Bernie Sanders is a millionaire because he wrote a best-selling book about his progressive values and campaign.

It would be great to have a candidate who actually experienced the challenges that most folks deal with every day.

If one looks at all the candidates for president on the Democratic side, it’s hard to find any of them who aren’t part of the elite. The days of common-man candidates like Lincoln and Jackson may be gone forever.

Helen Ruth died 12/6/15.

There are no known heirs. The Sale will be held on the outside steps of the Phila. County Court House, Security Entrance, City Hall, 1400 ++John F. Kennedy Blvd., Phila., PA 19107. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $72,948.76. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, her prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $7,294.87 (10% of the Secretary’s bid) 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 $7,249.87 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is non-refundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered 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 delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing 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 deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00 to be paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension 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 may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. 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 foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure 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. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established by documented written application of the Mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less then three (3) days before the date of the Sale or otherwise that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this Notice of Default and Foreclosure Sale, or all amounts due under the Mortgage Agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to The Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid to pay off the Mortgage prior to the scheduled sale is $72,948.76 as of -3/13/18, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance 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 documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

An Alternative Ballot may be obtained for any election, upon your advance request on an Alternative Ballot Application. In Philadelphia an application for an Alternative Ballot can be made on the regular Absentee Ballot Application by checking the box for “Handicapped or 65 years or older and who is assigned to an inaccessible polling place”. The applications may be obtained at the County Board of Elections in Room 142, City Hall or by contacting (215) 686‐3469 VOICE, or TTY/TDD through the AT&T Relay System. TDD users may utilize this service by calling 1‐800‐654‐5984 and telling the communications assistant they want to speak to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Elections at (717) 787‐5280.

Alternative Ballot Applications by mail must be submitted to the County Board of Elections no later than 7 days before the election.

Alternative Ballots must be returned to the County Board of Elections no later than the close of the polls, at 8:00 P.M. on Election Day. Additionally, registered electors with disabilities may apply for an Emergency Alternative Ballot Application and cast their ballot in person at the County Board of Elections, in Room 142, City Hall, up to the close of the polls on Election Day. In addition, the City shall provide registration materials in large print at each registration facility and voting instructions in large print at each polling place.

Should you have any questions about your rights, or the City’s obligations under these laws, or if you need assistance in determining if your polling place fully meets federal and state criteria, please contact the Accessibility Compliance Office, or the County Board of Elections.

De acuerdo con el Título II de la Ley de Americanos con Discapacidades de 1990 y la Ley de Accesibilidad de Votante para los Ancianos y los Discapacitados de 1984, la Ciudad de Filadelfia no discrimina a la gente con discapacidades al suministrar acceso para el proceso de elecciones.

Según estas leyes federales, se requiere que la Ciudad de Filadelfia asegure que su proceso de elecciones en conjunto sea accesible a la gente con discapacidades en todas las elecciones. Esto significa que los sitios de votación serán accesibles a los discapacitados de tal manera que haya locaciones accesibles disponibles dentro de cada distrito electoral.

DECLARACIÓN DE INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ACCESO AL PROCESO DE ELECCIONES PARA LAS PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDADES EN LA CIUDAD DE FILADELFIA ELECCIONES MUNICIPALES PRIMARIA Y ESPECIAL DE MAYO 21 DEL 2019

Los Comisionados de la Ciudad designan y enumeran la accesibilidad de los lugares de votación en grados variables. Los sitios de votación que cumplen en su totalidad con los criterios federales y estatales son designados con una "F" que indica que es un edificio totalmente accesible, y con una "H" que indica que hay estacionamiento para discapacitados.

Si un logar de votación no cumple en su totalidad con estos criterios federales y estatales, pero provee accesibilidad relativa con una pequeña ayuda en la entrada, entonces ese logar será designado con una "B" que indica que tiene una accesibilidad substancial.

Si no hay disponible un lugar totalmente accesible, que cumpla con todos los criterios federales y estatales (designados como “FH”), como sitio de votación en su División de elección, la accesibilidad para votar será proporcionada mediante el uso de una Boleta Alternativa de acuerdo con las directrices expedidas por el Secretario del Estado.

Si usted es un votante registrado, que es discapacitado o tiene 65 años de edad o más, y no se le ha asignado un lugar de votación que haya sido designado como “FH”, entonces cumple con los requisitos para votar mediante una Boleta Alternativa.

SÓLO LOS CENTROS DE VOTACIÓN DE LOS DISTRITOS Y LAS DIVISIONES ELECTORALES QUE SE MENCIONAN A CONTINUACIÓN SE HAN DESIGNADO COMO “FH” O TOTALMENTE ACCESIBLES. SI USTED ES UN VOTANTE REGISTRADO EN CUALQUIER DISTRITO ELECTORAL DE FILADELPHIA, SALVO EN AQUELLOS QUE SE ENUMERAN A CONTINUACIÓN, Y ES DISCAPACITADO O MAYOR DE 65 AÑOS, CUMPLE CON LOS REQUISITOS PARA VOTAR DESDE SU HOGAR MEDIANTE UNA BOLETA ALTERNATIVA O EN LA SALA 142 DEL AYUNTAMIENTO EL DÍA DE LA ELECCIÓN MEDIANTE UNA BOLETA ALTERNATIVA DE EMERGENCIA: ESTE AVISO ESTA SUJECTA A CAMBIOS – PARA OBTENER INFORMACION ACTUALIZADA IR A WWW.PHILADELPHIAVOTES.COM Distrito Electoral

o! Here we go again with this question – do you need washing?

A little girl had been shopping with her mom in the mall. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful redhaired, freckle-faced image of innocence.

It was pouring outside – need the benefit of the automatic stay while the recovery is worked out.

There are a lot of details, to be sure. But the bottom line is that not only can you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy more than once – you may want to do so even in the absence of the availability of a discharge.

girl said as she tugged at her 23 Mom’s arm.

“This morning. When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”

Mom replied with a puzzled look on her face.

“Don’t you remember?

When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, He can get us through anything!”

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one left. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.

Now, some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child’s life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

“Honey, you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the rain. If God lets us get wet, well, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said.

Think about it: Do you need a washing?

the WAFFLE MAN

the kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there, under the awning, just inside the entrance of the mall. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day.

I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing as carefree as a child, came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

Her little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.

“What?” her mom replied. “‘Let’s run through the rain!’

No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit.”

This young child waited a minute and repeated: “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get soaked if we do,” Mom said.

“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young

BY MICHAEL A. CIBIK AMERICAN BANKRUPTCY BOARD CERTIFIED uestion: How many times can you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 exists to help you get out of debt quickly and easily. Tally up your bills, make sure you pass the means test, account for any non-exempt assets, and away you go. An expe-

other Chapter 7 discharge, an option is to file Chapter 13. You are eligible for a discharge in Chapter 13 as soon as four years after filing Chapter 7.

Filing Chapter 13 can help you reorganize your finances and repay debts over a 3-5 year period depending on your financial situation.

Though you’ll be required to repay a portion of your debts through the Chapter 13, it’s better than being enslaved to overdue bills.

There are, however, some occasions when filing a Chapter 7 is a good idea even if you don’t qualify to receive a discharge. For example, if you’ve got a large non-exempt asset and don’t want to be bothered with selling it off to pay your debts individually, then Chapter 7 may work for you. Other times you’ve got a lawsuit pending and simply

rienced bankruptcy lawyer can help get you into a better position relatively fast.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, it’s easy to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy – you can do it hundreds of times.

The real question, however, is whether you can get what you want – a discharge of debts – when your case is filed.

As we’ve said in these virtual pages in the past, there’s no limit on the number of times you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Nor is there a time limit between filings.

You can file as often and as many times as you like.

There are, however, limits on how often you can get a discharge. Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, you must wait eight years from the time you first filed Chapter 7 until you can get a second Chapter 7 discharge.
