Opportunity Knocks For Knox?

More Knox Millions?

by Joe Shaheeli Don’t sell Tom Knox short. He’s too savvy a man to make the same mistake twice.

Knox obviously doesn’t have a gelatin backbone. He invested millions from his personal money into a run for Mayor of this city. Now he intends to invest millions more, plus what he hopes to raise, in another run – but this one for the Governorship of the State of Pennsylvania.

He threw out that balloon back in June when everyone in the political (Cont. Page 17)

TOM KNOX’ wife Linda gave crucial go-ahead to her husband to seek Governor’s seat in 2010 and was a well-received hostess at campaign kickoff rally at the Bellevue.

State Rep. Babette Josephs says former offenders can vote.

"This year's race for President has had a number of twists and turns, garnering a great deal of attention by young and old alike," Josephs said.

"If you want to cast your vote on Nov. 4, you should make sure you are registered to vote.

"If you are 18 by Nov. 4, a citizen and a resident of Pennsylvania for at least 30 days, you are eligible to vote. That includes convicted felons who have served their sentence and been released from prison," said the chairwoman of the House State Government Committee.

This Presidential election could well go down in the history books as either tying or beating the turnout record of the Rizzo-Goode election in 1983.

The Voter Registration Commission reports over a quarter of a million have registered during this period, second only to the 2004 Presidential election.

Unfortunately, the Registration Commission is finding itself doing a lot of unnecessary work, since over a quarter of those who have recently registered are already registered. “It’s obvious they are anxious to make sure (Cont. Page 17)

Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. and Alderman Robert J. Bauman of Milwaukee have made a friendly wager on the outcome of the playoff series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers.

Recidivism Bills Pass In House State Sen. Shirley Kitchen this week praised passage of two prisonreform measures that would ease the financially-overburdened prison system and reduce recidivism in certain nonviolent offenders.

“Prison overcrowding is a major issue in our corrections system. It’s become a physical burden on the prisons and a financial burden on taxpayers, and it’s only going to continue to grow,” Kitchen said. “We must take steps now to ease overcrowding and reduce recidivism while providing nonviolent offenders with the skills they need to be more productive when they return to society.”

HB 7 gives the Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections, a prisoner or anyone acting or appointed to act on the prisoner’s behalf the right to petition a court for the release of a seriously- or terminally-ill prisoner for treatment in a hospital, hospice or other health care facility.

The court must consider the prisoner’s history of violence. The bill al(Cont. Page 17)

Laborers Fund Funeral For Three Children The Laborers’ District Council of the Metropolitan Area of Philadelphia and Vicinity has provided funds for the funerals of three children who died in a tragic Coatesville fire just before midnight a week ago.

Over 100 emergency personnel responded to the two-alarm fire on the 100 block of N. Second Avenue. Jessica Torres tried to save her sons and little brother but the youngsters, Tyrone Hill, 4, and Tyzhier Hill, 3, and

Brian Kelly Westmoreland, Jr., 11, died in the fire. Torres and her mother were rescued from the burning building.

When the LDC‘s officers and members heard about this family’s loss and the fact they could not afford to properly bury the children, a decision was made to help the family by donating the funds for the funeral through the LDC Charity Fund. The LDC and affiliated locals, Local 135,

Local 413, Local 57 and Local 332, have donating $5,000 to the family.

The LDC Charity Fund’s goal is to raise funds to assist charitable organizations that provide services to the needy in the five-county area of Philadelphia. The LDC has been helping members and their families and the community enjoy a better standard of living by providing jobs and benefits since its charter in 1937.

Sen.Mike Stack

Dan McCaffery this past week that gave his campaign a serious boost. This follows on the heels of an announcement by the Philadelphia Council of Building Trades unanimously endorsing McCaffery.

Political Action Director Joe Ashdale of Glaziers Local 252 introduced Dan McCaffery, saying, “We’re so happy to have a friend like Dan with us. We know Dan McCaffery is an advocate for working families and will bring that passion for justice and equality to the office of District Attorney.”

McCaffery said, "I am proud to have earned the support of organized labor that represents the hard-working families of Philadelphia. I have earned their trust through years of service to my community and I hope to continue earning it as your next District Attorney. My office will always be guided by the principle that the City's top law-enforcement officer must be above reproach, above political and partisan motivation, and must fight hard to ensure public safety. I will aggressively root out and prosecute the criminal element of our city and restore civility to our neighborhoods."

McCaffery is a shareholder in Friedman-Schuman P.C. and specializes in complex commercial litigation, business disputes and municipal litigation. Prior to his work in private practice, he served as a prosecutor in the DA’s office from 1991 through 1996.

Dan has continued his public service by serving as probono counsel to Democratic City Committee as well as numerous charitable and civic organizations throughout the region. Dan also serves on the President's Board of Advisors for his alma mater, Father Judge HS. Earlier in his life, Dan joined the United States Army after graduating high school, serving as a soldier in the First Cavalry Division.

Upon receiving an honorable discharge, Dan returned home to attend Temple University and Temple Law School, a path that led him to

the DA's office.

Rendell Names 3 More To Bench Three very popular candidates for Court positions have finally gotten their due. Gov. Ed Rendell has submitted the names of Joyce Eubanks and Angeles Roca for Common Please vacancies and Port Richmond’s Thomas Nocella for a seat on the Municipal Court. They will need confirmation by the State Senate.

They’ve got a lot of people rooting for them.

More Endorsements For Brendan Boyle The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, along with its Pennsylvania Million Mom March Chapters, today endorsed Brendan Boyle for Pennsylvania State House Dist. 170.

Endorsed earlier by the Fraternal Order of Police in his District, Boyle understands the critical importance of protecting our law-enforcement officers who put their lives at risk every day.

Brendan is now airing a cable ad citing FOP President John McNesby’s support.

The Brady Campaign is urging the Pennsylvania legislature to pass two significant anti-gun-trafficking bills next year: a limit on the bulk purchase of handguns, and a requirement for gun owners to report their lost or stolen handguns.

Pennsylvania's 170th House Dist. includes portions of Northeast Philadelphia and parts of Montgomery Co.

PSEA's membership includes educators, administrators, pupil services and support professionals, health care professionals, retirees and student teachers.

Thanking the organization, Wagner said he was excited about continuing to fight for Pennsylvania families and taxpayers in an independent and bipartisan way.

GOP Leadership Endorses Farley The Republican Leadership Council has endorsed John Farley, candidate for the Pennsylvania State Senate in Dist. 5.

Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, co-chair of the RLC, praised Farley for "upholding the core Republican values of fiscalconservatism and less government interference in individuals' lives."

The filmmakers spent $5,000 out of their own and their families’ pockets to shoot more than 1000 hours of footage. Hundreds of hours later, they had edited it into 1 hour, 35 minutes of finished product.

Now Evans and Angel are getting a taste of the business end of movie-making. They have begun to look for a distributor.

It hasn’t been easy so far.

“Then again, the type of movie it is, a lot don’t want to be bothered,” Evans notes. The subject matter is disturbing and the response it demands is sober. Many streetcorner scenes are tense, jumpy and vivid.

But a sit-down interview with attorney Sharif Street isn’t exactly a dance number.

It will be interesting to see if Philadelphia finds a way to experience their vision.

Place Your Bets

On Presidential Campaign Sports betting aside, more Philadelphians are reported contacting their “old bookies” to get the odds on the Presidential campaign. As of a week ago, the odds were “Pick – you lay $6 to win $5.”

That’s not much of an edge and indicates the election between Barack Obama and John McCain for the Presidency is still too close to call.

Betting on Presidential elections is not a new phenomenon. When Americans surrounded the London office of the United Associated Presses to get news of the outcome of the Presidential race between McKinley and Bryan in 1896, they weren't driven by patriotism or homesickness. It was all about money. The betting odds on McKinley had been as high as 10 to 1, some of the most dramatic in history.

In the late 1800s through the early 20th century, Presidential betting served the purpose that

polls do today: offering regular looks at who was leading and by how much. The practice was so institutionalized that American stock markets offered odds and booked bets.

The bets were watched carefully, offering surprising precision and creating an excitement that polls just can't match.

The history of Presidential betting is documented almost entirely through newspaper coverage, which captured both the emotion and the facts of the day. Marta Lee-Perriard has a unique view of the coverage. Through her day-to-day work with ProQuest Historical Newspapers, the largest digital newspaper archive in the world, she's analyzed the long, entertaining past of Presidential betting. Lee-Perriard says the coverage is peppered with unique stories.

Among her favorites are stories of sitting Presidents who lashed out at Wall Street,

unhappy with the odds placed against them in stock markets.

"Betting changed the flavor of voting. Because there was money involved, there was tremendous suspense as the votes came in," says Lee-Perriard. "And, quite frankly, the incentive bets provided for voting was tremendous ... what better way to protect your bet?"

There are still remnants of Presidential betting. The University Of Iowa College Of Business runs an electronic market, which sells futures on the outcome of political events. Intrade runs an online prediction market. However, most Presidential betting has fallen by the wayside.

The excitement of this campaign has a lot of people guessing, which is why some of the more enterprising bookies in this area are reaching out to their customers to offer a chance to place their bets on the Presidential campaign.

Our Opinion ...

Boob Tube Is Key

The Public Record • October 2, 2008

If economic anxiety continues to dominate the Presidential election, the election tilts in Barack Obama’s favor. Polls this week show that.

Obama also continues to press the fact opponent John McCain and President George Bush are stable-mates. Voters can expect much of the same Bush policy with McCain.

But key for Obama is how he uses the television set to get that message across. TV commercials, 24-hour news stations and live prime-time debates help sway those undecided voters that each candidate targets as they both pull into the final stretch of their respective campaigns.

From the E! Entertainment news network to our local news channels, the 21st-century saturation in televised news means you cannot get away from it.

It would be surprising if Bruce Springsteen’s acoustic concert along the Parkway this Saturday were not televised live on MTV or VH1.

Take tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate. People will take a seat in their homes and watch and listen to what Sen. Biden and Gov. Palin have to say. Then some will watch the over-analysis on their pick of news networks, as they form their opinion.

Others may down a couple of beers and finish the debate gazing at Palin’s brown eyes or Biden’s grandfatherly nods.

Either way, your boob tube will help determine who our next Commander in Chief is.

Letters Letters Stack Was Wrong

one might have reservations about Stack's potential for making somewhat rash decisions. Or they might question just whose pocket Mike Stack might be in; or where he draws the ethical lines on service to all the people of his District; or his view of honoring contracts; or his respect for the rights of others, particularly those with opposing views.

Using his position as a State Senator in an attempt to interfere with a private contract in force regarding private property, raises serious ethical questions about the Senator.

Then, arrogantly protesting the landlord's refusal to bend to what appears to be Stack's employment of tortious acts in a political vendetta, even to the detriment of the People he allegedly serves, raises grave questions of legality, and Stack's fitness to hold office. I think an investigation is warranted.

If I were the landlord, I believe I would consider Mike Stack's public withdrawal of a public office from my premises while under lease, seemingly designed to pressure me and hold me up to public shame and ridicule, as a direct attack on my reputation, with (Cont. Page 10)

The Public Record reports on Page 1, "State Sen. Michael Stack has closed his Bridesburg office to show support for union labor" (Sep. 18). Sen. Stack, who has authored 46 pro-union bills during his tenure, "urged" the landlord of his 2644 LeFevre Street 5th Dist. Senatorial office to break a contract with a non-union contractor hired to refurbish the building, and instead to hire a union contractor.

Both wisdom and ethics prevailed, and the landlord refused Stack's 'request'.

Protesting his landlord's refusal to break the contract, Stack then ordered the public Senatorial office closed, and that his staff find a new location with a supposedly more union-friendly landlord. Stack is quoted as saying, "I found I was stuck with a lease, but I closed the office anyway." So much for the convenience of people serviced by that office.

As noted in the Public Record, Stack is purportedly on the short list for the Democrat chair of the Pennsylvania Senate Appropriations Committee. Now, in light of the Senator's handling of the circumstances addressed here,

by Michael A. Cibik, Esq. American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: I was in bank-

Answer: A person can file a Chapter 7 again if it has been more than eight years since they filed the previous Chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, you must wait only four years after you filed a Chapter 7 and received a discharge, to receive a discharge in a subsequent Chapter 13 bankruptcy;

and wait only two years after you filed a Chapter 13 and received a discharge, to receive a discharge in a subsequent Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Anyone who’s been watching Philadelphia politics knows about the Goode family.

Father Wilson was the city’s first African American mayor and now runs a program designed to help the kids of people in jail. Son Wilson, Jr. became the city’s youngest Councilman when he was sworn into his at-Large seat in 2000 and has made it his business to make sure when the City puts major construction projects out to bid, people of color get a fair shot at the work.

But while the elder Goode had a lot of good things he could point to as accomplishments during his tenure as mayor, he had one overarching incident — the MOVE bombing — that became the defining moment of his career.

Unfortunately, his son seems to be headed toward that same bit of infamy. But unlike the MOVE bombing, which was precipitated by a longstanding feud between that group and the City, Wilson Goode, Jr.’s incident appears to be coming from that place where loyalty and common sense clash.

His issue is in the form of his Deputy Chief Legislative Aide Latrice Bryant, and if he doesn’t allow common sense to rule the day, he may find himself on the outside looking in next election season.

In case you don’t tune in to the Fox 29 News at 10 or have been living in a cave the last couple of weeks, Bryant is (Cont. Page 26)

Now that's what I'm talkin’ ‘bout! That was a real Presidential debate down at Ole Miss. This was a great format, letting each candidate go at each other in five-minute segments. The closer we get to the finish line, the more intense it should get.

In this debate I saw no clear winner.

However, if SEN. JOHN McCAIN’S plan was to look more experienced and Presidential than SEN. BARACK OBAMA, he succeeded in a big way. The man really knows his foreign affairs. With terrrorism always lurking behind the scene, I think national security will play a big role in voters’ minds in the end, and so will the economy – that's what makes this such a close race.

In all fairness, Obama was no slouch either; he gave a strong performance. One of his biggest strengths is the fact he is so articulate, and not a bit nervous for such a newcomer to this big of a stage. What's the voter to do – pick the candidate who can talk the talk, or the one who has walked the walk?

Next we move to the VP debate, where poor SEN. JOE BIDEN has to face off against a former beauty-queen contestant, who still looks darn good! GOV. SARAH PALIN had better have done her homework for this one, because one sign of not grasping important issues and that beauty will dissipate real quickly. Biden is gonna be cautious not to look too bullying, and that will be tough on Joe, who is from the aggressive part of politics.

STATE SEN. MIKE STACK was the guest of honor at a reception held at La Veranda on the Philadelphia waterfront. This is a very fine restaurant with great atmosphere and good food, from the hot hors d’oeuvres to the highly caloric desserts. The occasion was a fundraiser to assist in Mike’s campaign for re-election. The treasurer of the event was former Democratic City Chairman MARTIN WEINBERG. Among the guests in attendance were former CONGRESSMAN BOB BORSKI; COUNCILWOMAN JOAN KRAJEWSKI; former Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association GABE BEVILACQUA; President of Somerton Civic Association MARY JANE HAZELL; President of Greater Bustleton Civic Association BERNICE HILL (63rd Democratic Ward Leader); TOM DARCY; well-known trial lawyer STEVE POLLACK; former Ward Leader of the 55th FRANCIS GLEASON; DR. RUTH HORWITZ and her husband ALAN; Chairwoman of the 58th Ward ARLENE PETROFF; DIANE CARUSO, accompanied by her son JEFFREY; JIM McGINLEY, former VP of the Teacher’s Union; HARRY CITRINO, well-known Northeast real-estate mogul; HENRY WINKLESPECHT, treasurer of the 58th Ward; ROSEMARY RUBINO; ALAN CUSHNER; Vice Principal at Washington HS DAVID KAPLAN; Sen. Mike Stack’s chief of staff CINDY MERILIA; Ward Leader of the 57th FRANK CONAWAY; Ward Leader of the 45th HARRY ENGGASSER; and SHAWN DILLON, ward leader in 66A. The smell of burning oak wood greets you when you arrive at La Veranda. It also has an excellent pizza oven and an array of quality meats publicly displayed. There are a variety of dining areas which seat anywhere from two to 10 people. The Senator’s affair was held in a private dining room overlooking a marina with cruisers of various sizes. The restaurant is in the shadow of the Ben Franklin Bridge and has a fine ambience.

Incidentally, there will be an evening reception for the Senator at the Rittenhouse Hotel in (Cont. Page 26)

Yo! Here we go again with this interesting item sent to me by Terry Mitchell.

I have seen some of this as I grew up in the ‘40s and ‘50s with practical parents. I had a mother, God love her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a name for it. Furthermore, I had a father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.

Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee-shirt and a hat; and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand and dish-towel in the other.

It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, reheating and renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning sometimes there isn't any more.

Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away, never to return. So while we have it, it's best we love it and care for it and fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage and old cars and children with bad report cards and dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special and so, we keep them close!

There are 10 things God won't ask on that day. 1) God won't ask what kind of car you drove, He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation. 2) God won't (Cont. Page 24)

Another Opinion Self-Protection In Emergencies

by Mayor Michael Nutter and Tom Foley, CEO, Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross Just about everyone saw news coverage of the devastating eight-alarm apartment-complex fire in Co n s hohocken last month, and some may have seen the chemical spill on the Schuylkill Expressway. But there were 652 other disasters in Philadelphia last year, many of which did not make headlines, and all of which affected people who would have benefited from being prepared for the unexpected.

September is National Preparedness Month and the American Red Cross, along with Philadelphia’s Office of Emergency Management, will host preparedness events around the City and the region to make sure families are prepared in the following ways: 1) Get a kit. Prepare

both a Shelter-In-Place Kit and an evacuation Go Bag with essential survival items. Your sheltering kit should have three days’ worth of supplies, including non-perishable fo od, water (one gallon per person, per day), non-pre sc ription medications, cash and change, a radio, a flashlight, extra batteries, and a first-aid kit. If you had to leave in a hurry, your evacuation kit needs items such as extra clothes, important papers, extra keys, and prescription medication, as well as a list of your medications, and bank account, credit card and insurance policy numbers.

2) Make a plan. Take time now to create an emergency plan, and identify your neighborhood evacuation routes with rallying points in case your family becomes separated.

3) Get informed. In an emergency, every second counts. Taking 10 seconds

now to sign up at www.ReadyNotifyPA.org, for the region’s emergency text and email alert system, may enable you to avert disaster.

In addition to these steps, it’s important for people to volunteer with the Red Cross or another organization that helps peo-

ple in times of disaster, whether it is a house fire or a region-wide disaster. The Red Cross has built partnerships through its leadership of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, and has held 10 preparedness summits this past year to train represen-

tatives of over 700 local organizations in emergency planning skills.

Opportunities like this, as well as additional information about how to prepare for a fire, a flood, a pandemic or other disaster, can be found at www.redcross-philly.org.

The time to start planning for an emergency is not in the middle of one. In an emergency, you are either

ready or you’re not. Be ready. Make a plan. Get what you need and stay informed.

For more information on Emergency Preparedness or Philadelphia’s evacuation routes, visit www.phila.gov/ready or call 1 (877) READY-11. You can also view copies of Philadelphia’s evacuation routes at your local library.

Rep. Myers Acknowledges Hunger In Pa. State Rep. John Myers has introduced a resolution to recognize September as Hunger Action Month in Pennsylvania, along with a second resolution to acknowledge the work Philabundance has done in the community.

Joining Myers to raise awareness of how many of our neighbors go hungry every day were 203rd Dist. State Rep. Dwight Evans, State Sen. LeAnna Washington, and Bill Ryan from Albert Einstein Healthcare Network.

It’s Operation Bedding Time STATE legislators came together at Faith Chapel Church to raise awareness of hunger crisis in region and to introduce a resolution by State Rep.

Lance Cpl. Adam C. Conboy was killed in 2006 while deployed in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

While serving in Iraq, he called his mother Mary Conboy and asked if she could send him bedsheets, 40 sets.

He explained the weather was so hot, and with so little free time, clean sheets would be nice. He was concerned his friends have the same comforts he had and that is why he needed 40 sets. He jokingly said, “Mom, get Operation Bedding going.”

A night later he was killed.

Without realizing it, Adam had just set up his own memorial fund.

In lieu of flowers his family requested money so they could send a shipment of supplies to Adam's friends still serving. His request touched so many people, the outpouring of love and support was overwhelming. So many expressed their gratitude.

Shortly after his death, his mother established Operation Bedding in his memory to continue to send shipments of supplies to those still serving in Iraq. Operation Bedding

will be hosting its annual fundraising Gala at the William Penn Inn this evening, with all proceeds going to the Adam C. Conboy Memorial Fund to support the troops.

Tickets are $75 per person.

Please make donations payable to The Adam Conboy Memorial Fund. Send checks or donated items to Operation Bedding, 6212 Ridge Avenue, Unit D, Philadelphia, PA 19128. If you need additional information, please contact Mary Conboy at (215) 4829400 or Stephanie Burke at (215) 410-9026.

His taste of politics began in 1992 when Mayor Ed Rendell asked him to join the administration as Deputy Mayor for the Office of Management and Productivity, which he did for a salary at $1 per year.

After the second budget was put to bed 18 months later, he returned to private business – credited with helping erase a $150 million deficit.

Just by renegotiating many of the City’s leases and insurance contracts, Knox was able to save the city $78 million dollars per year.

On leaving City government, Knox carried his public service into the private sector when he took a job as Special Deputy Rehabilitator & CEO of Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Co., which had been placed in rehabilitation by the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner. As special deputy rehabilitator, Knox managed the day-to-day operations of Pennsylvania’s fifth-largest insurer and implemented a series of management and productivity initiatives that revived the bankrupt company, protecting over one quarter of a billion dollars in public money.

Knox’ run for Mayor of Philadelphia was well received early, but lost steam as tougher, better-known candidates joined the Democratic primary fray. However, he learned a lesson on what he needed to do to improve his own image as a candidate and how to make use of the very obstacles that had made him

“The removal of gravely ill prisoners will ease the physical and financial burden on our overflowing prisons while providing these men and women with adequate care,” said Kitchen, who introduced similar legislation (SB 1044) last year.

The other measure (House

Bill 4) allows courts to sentence nonviolent offenders to intensive rehabilitation programs while in prison and provide for strict parole supervision after their release.

“This legislation would provide nonviolent offenders with life skills that will help them to become good citizens when they are released from prison,” Kitchen said. “This measure is a step toward reducing recidivism and gives nonviolent offenders a second chance to improve their lives.”

launched by State Rep. Ronald G. Waters. The House State Government Committee was acting on his resolution to check the state of readiness of the Commonwealth’s election machinery.

The Committee, meeting here in Philadelphia, brought together Chairwoman Babette Josephs with Committee Members Thomas Blackwell, Michael O’Brien, Cherelle Parker and Lawrence Curry.

"This hearing was intended to evaluate the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s readiness for the Nov. 4 elections," Waters said. "We wanted to find out if there would be enough provisional ballots on hand and make sure there would be no intimidation at the polls, so everyone who comes out to vote that day has a chance to make his or her voice heard."

What the committee learned, he said, showed “All systems are go. It’s now up to the voters to turn out.

Their votes will be counted.”

On the fringes of the election process itself were several experts, including Andrew Hoover of the Pennsylvania ACLU. He discussed efforts to correct misinformation concerning ex-offenders' right to vote and the policies surrounding "passive electioneering", or the wearing of shirts, hats or

other apparel bearing support for one candidate or party at the polls.

Postal District Manager Frank Neri explained how political mail is handled and described the security measures taken to ensure such mail is delivered efficiently.

Others testifying included Harry VanSickle, deputy secretary of the Commonwealth; Karen Tucker, national election mail coordinator with the US Postal Service; and Lora Lavin, VP for issues and action, League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania.

Waters said constituents should not be concerned about missing registration cards.

"Voters who've registered in time but don't receive their cards can still vote,” he explained. “They simply need to bring identification with them to their polling place."

Waters noted voters can download a voter-registration form and apply for absentee ballots on the Dept. of State's Web site at www.pavoterservices.state.pa.us. Voters can find their polling place by using the online search engine at the website.

"I believe this voting process will be as comfortable an experience as possible for everyone who participates, given the historic nature of this year’s elections and the large number of new and young voter."

There is little doubt now of his seriousness.

His Knox For Governor campaign team hosted a party attended by almost 200. Some backers were well heeled, others highly connected, a few were experienced campaigners and a handful were wannabees seeking employment.

The fact his wife, Linda, was busy hosting with a sincere smile, indicates the Knox family is united in this second effort to give Pennsylvanians a taste of the kind of administrative ability that saw Knox soar from a youngster in PHA’s Abbottsford housing project to the present day, when he is recognized as one of the area’s outstanding business execs.

His economic rise is the stuff of legends. The oldest of four sons of Thomas and Margaret Knox, Tom, at 16, left high school and chose to join the Navy so he could send a portion of his pay home to his family. After four years of service and two promotions, Knox left the Navy and returned to Philadelphia.

Knox started working as a door-to-door salesman. Over the past three decades he owned, managed, and sold software, banking, and health-care insurance companies, including Disc Systems, Inc., Crusader Bank, Fidelity

Vendemmia Draws 5,000 For Its 12th Year Of Charity Giving The 12th annual Vendemmia this year not only drew a record crowd, but wound up with raves by the over 5,000 who waited out a rainy morning, enjoyed a sun-filled afternoon, and were on their way home shortly before evening showers hit.

They came away happy.

For only a $40 ticket, they were given Vendemmia-imprinted wineglasses and biscotti, and entered a field dotted with fine restaurants serving cuisine and vintners pouring wine into those glasses.

They were treated to a musical extravaganza put together by radio personality Bob Pantano, featuring Billy “Frank Sinatra” Ruth, the famous Carmen Dee Orchestra, rock ‘n roll legends Chubby Checker and Charlie Gracie, and recording artist Rocco DePersia, lead singer of Cintron.

Restaurants and bakeries contributing their famous meals included Galdo’s, La Famiglia, Maglio Sausage, Center City Pretzel, and Esposito’s Porchetta, among others.

Founder Dr. Gerard V. Vernose, president of the Vendemmia Foundation, announced, “Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia will now become

our primary benefactor, while we maintain the scholarship program for the students as it has been in the past.”

Funds raised in the past have gone to St. Agnes Medical Center. Also recipients were grade- and high-school students who received scholarships. High-school students get $4,000 over four years and grade-school students, $2,000 over four years.

This year’s 8th-grade winners were Anthony Panvini, Stella Maris; Danielle Koskinas, Sacred Heart of Jesus; Lauren Esposito, St. Monica; Gina Gambacorta, Epiphany; Matthew Krussell, Annunciation; Anthony Fleet, St. Gabriel; Nina Gindville, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel; Michael Giangiordano, St. Nicholas; Gabriel Mazza, Holy Spirit; and Joseph Hatton, St. Richard.

High-school winners were Emanuel Ryan, Masterman; Gabrielle Vafanes, SS. Neumann-Goretti; Stephen Donaldson, St. Joseph’s; Adsam Jezzi, Masterman; Valerie Spinosi, Neumann-Goretti; Danielle Zambrano, Girard; Stephanie Deal, Hallahan; Dominique Picuri, Hallahan; and Arianna Vona, Masterman.

LINES WERE long, but moved quickly as more than 5,000 attended 12th annual Vendemmia Harvest Gala founded by Dr. Gerard V. Vernose.

CONGRATULATING Amato Berardi on his election to Italian House of Deputies are Vincent DeFino and Frank Punzo, among thousands who attended Vendemmia.

REPUBLICAN City Committee Chairman Vito Canuso and his wife were among many who brought Italian foodstuffs to Vendemmia to share with visitors.

Vendemmia Draws 5,000

Good Times Had By All “It’s a beautiful day in a beautiful neighborhood,” observed realtor Barbara Capozzi.

“Just imagine, if you lived in Packer Park you could walk to the Vendemmia!”

I’m hanging out at the IBEW Local 98 area, where there are eight tables topped with the most magnificent gift baskets from Cellini’s on Passyunk Avenue and big trays of food from Chickie’s on 10th Street. There’s also a case of wine from master winemaker John Patane and the amethyst liquid is flowing into our stemmed glasses.

“I remember seven years ago, it was the second Vendemmia,” recollects Ken Adams.

“I was there representing the union and NECA, the National Electrical Contractors Association. John Dougherty had bought one table. A couple of Local 98’s business agents showed up but we had nothing.

No food. No wine. We didn’t bring anything. But there were friends all around and they shared their food and wine with us. Doc knew Vernose and as the years went by, he got more involved and donated a lot of time and services like the electric connections for power. The scholarships provided are meaningful to him, as education is the key to success.”

From the Italian Parliament, the Hon. Amato Berardi is filled with pride. “The Vendemmia is a great event. It keeps our culture and heritage alive for the younger generation.”

District Attorney hopeful Dan McCaffery and his pal Frank Punzo, president of the youth group SEYAA, are very enthusiastic. “This is awesome, meeting and greeting all of our neighbors,” declares Punzo.

“It’s a huge group of people that share the same ideals.”

Although Germans had been here since the 17th

century, the arrival of these 13 families on the ‘Concord’ is viewed as the official start of people coming from Germany to seek a better life for themselves and their children. A Mayor’s reception and proclamation reading will take place on Friday, October 3, at noon, but other events are coming up.

by Len Lear We first met Clark Gilbert in 1999 when he was executive chef at Square Bar, the hot-as-lava restaurant when it opened at the Sheraton Rittenhouse Square Hotel.

Like so many Center City dining spots, however, Square Bar went from sizzle to fizzle after a while, but it certainly wasn’t because of the food. I can still recall two fabulous dishes of his that blew us away: linguini with sundried tomato, goat cheese and black olives; and a grilled vegetable sandwich with buffalo mozzarella, pesto and salmon involtini.

(I wrote at the time, “The couches in this restaurant are the plushest outside of the Versailles Palace. Once you settle into one, it may take a crowbar to get you out.” Apparently, there were too many crowbars in the Rittenhouse Square area during that time.)

Over the years, Clark has been behind the stoves at some of Philly’s best restaurants, such as the Fountain Room at the Four Seasons Hotel, the Saloon and La Terrasse, but the restaurant business can be tougher than a Marine drill sergeant. Gilbert was once so burned out that he made an 18-month detour as a patient liaison worker at a physical rehabilitation facility in South Philadelphia. “It was unchallenging,” said Gilbert, 42, a native of Wynnewood. “If I had any doubts about a career with food, that ended the doubts. That’s when I finally decided to get serious about cooking.”

In July of this year, Gilbert left Restaurant Taquet in Wayne on the Main Line, where he was executive chef and director of operations.

Shortly thereafter he heard through the grapevine that the owners of Jonathan’s Ameri-

can Grille, Tim and Jonathan Zeigler, were looking for a new concept and a new chef.

The Zeiglers, who still own the restaurant in the Jenkintown Train Station, hired Gilbert, closed Jonathan’s American Grille in early September and, after some tweaking, reopened it as a mid-price Italian, Mio Pomodoro, on September 18.

(The Zeiglers have a fascinating personal story of their own. Jonathan, who is African American, was adopted as a child by Paul and Gloria Zeigler, members of the family that owned and operated Zeigler’s Apple Cider, a 75-yearold company that has provided its product to supermarkets in most US states and at one time produced about half of all the apple cider sold in this country. Paul and Gloria are now retired from the apple-cider business.)

The new restaurant is in a

Len Lear spectacularly beautiful, cavernous building, 3000 square feet, that’s as peachy as cobbler. In the warmly lighted main dining room, shades of red, gold and green are intermingled with the station’s stone walls, limestone columns and beautifully restored cathedral ceiling. There is a smaller dining area adjacent to the larger room and the bar. There is also a café, accessible from the station’s train platform, which features

a custom-crafted white, slate and apple-green porcelain tiled floor and long white marbletopped bar.

Previous restaurants that occupied the building have had a tough time filling all 220 seats in the massive property.

Before it was home to Jonathan’s American Grille, it housed Station Grill, Stazi Milano and Greenwood Grille.

But if Clark Gilbert can’t fill the seats, nobody can. Mio Pomodoro has an extensive Italian menu, with appetizers from $7 to $12, soups at $6, salads $7 to $8, pasta and risotto entrees from $13 to $19, pizzas from $11 to $13, sandwiches and panini at $10, children’s entrees at $6 (it’s very child-friendly), seafood and beef entrees from $17 to $25, and desserts at $6. We personally loved a spring mix salad with candied walnuts, Gorgonzola cheese and poached pear ($7) and the lus-

cious, muscular wild mushroom risotto entrée ($17).

There is also an extensive wine and cocktail list. For more information, call 215885-9000 or visit www.miopomodoro.com.

Debut of Bar 210 Another newcomer to the local dining scene is Bar 210 at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Bar 210, named after its famous street address, 210 W. Rittenhouse, opened in mid-September in the elevated portion of the Lacroix dining room. This upscale bar features handcrafted cocktails and an extensive wine list. Executive chef Matthew Levin has created the bar menu. The designers set a mahogany wood bar back with an elegant ushaped Bellagio granite bar top in the center of the dining room flanked with 10 comfortable chairs. For reservations or more information, call 215-790-2533.

PHILANTHROPIST Kal Rudman’s multiple contributions toward enhancing fire safety for Philadelphians earned him prestigious Partnership Award from Citizens’ Fire Prevention Committee in ceremonies in Frankford. Among those congratulating Rudman, center, are Lt. Frank Squillace, Deputy Fire Chief; attorney Jimmy Binns; Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers; and Deputy Fire Commissioner John Devlin.

enhanced imaging to make a clearer diagnosis, while providing patients with a better hospital experience,” Stack said. “I’m so pleased to provide this to Nazareth Hospital, which has always been vital to Northeast Philadelphia.”

The new scanner will provide better image quality by providing 3D imaging, decreasing scan time and increasing resolution. It will allow for scanning of larger areas with better image quality.

Additionally, the machine’s large opening and quieter gradients will make patients feel more comfortable and less claustrophobic.

The MRI scanner currently used by Nazareth Hospital’s Medical Imaging Dept. was installed in 1989 and is unable to perform high-quality smalljoint imaging studies, breast MRI or high-resolution 3D volume studies.

“This new MRI scanner will ultimately improve health care at Nazareth Hospital and enhance the staff’s already-exceptional ability to help patients,” Stack said.

NAZARETH HOSPITAL employees confirm State Sen. Stack’s belief new MRI is essential to improving health care for residents in his District.

Will it happen again? YES

Instead of just answering the question or even saying, “No comment,” Goode accused Cole of “disrespecting Black women” and Bryant, in true ‘hood-rat fashion, flashed a series of signs that said such things as “Jeff Cole KKK” and “Fox 29 are racist.” During the next Council session, another aide of Goode’s pushed Fox 29 reporter Claudia Gomez as she tried to talk to the Councilman.

Now when a story like this winds up on television, any public-relations professional with an ounce of savvy will tell you to answer the allegations, correct the problem and make it go away. Bryant has since apologized for the signs, but still stands by her charge of racism. So it’s still in the news.

While those who get caught in his crosshairs may have less than exemplary things to say about Cole, saying he’s racist is off the mark. He goes after anyone who isn’t conducting the public’s business in the right way. He’s gotten a Rainbow Coalition of folks fired for malfeasance with his reports.

So, other than making Goode and herself look silly, what is Bryant getting from this?

Well, one thing she’s getting is a lot of people angry at her, and by extension the Councilman.

Because of this, Goode might want to do one of two things: (a) Tell Bryant to back off of the racism charge or (b) Fire her. Since she shows no signs of doing (a), (b) is the only course of action he has.

Will he take it? I doubt it somehow. Despite being given evidence Bryant was wrong, Goode has been steadfastly defending her.

But he’d better hope the voters have short memories.

City Hall Sam

on the handling of the proposed $700 billion bailout of Wall Street when McCain interrupted his campaign to return to Washington to participate in the negotiations. Apparently the negotiations fell apart shortly thereafter. The country has a $10 trillion national debt, which is almost two times the amount it was when GEORGE H. W. BUSH was sworn in as President. This means the interest payments on the debt will total about onetenth of the gross annual prod-

uct for the government. This money mostly goes to foreign countries to pay for the treasury bills and bonds issued by the Federal government.

McCain’s choice of a running mate appears to have quickly turned from an asset into a liability. The overall impression from the weekend is not one the McCain campaign wanted to convey. Instead of having picked an experienced administrator, he gives the impression that he is a “shootfrom-the-hip” type of executive.

(Cont. from Page 9) the Boathouse Row Bar on Monday, Oct. 20. Contributions are recommended to begin at $1000.

This past weekend the Republican candidate JOHN McCAIN appears to have hurt his campaign chances significantly. One of the negotiators, CONGRESSMAN BARNEY FRANK, was quoted as saying they were close to a settlement
