‘Jimmy The Pilot’ Gets A Visit From S. Philly Friends
It was just 10 months ago that South Philadelphian Jim “Jimmy the Pilot” Donahue was being rushed in an ambulance to UNC Hospitals in North Carolina. The plane he was co-piloting was unable to land and instead, hit a grove of pine trees. The pilot, his best friend, Tom “Pittsy” Pitts, was instantly killed. Donahue knew he lost both legs below the knee. Later, he was diagnosed with several fractures to the hip, lacAMERICAN SWEDISH Museum staffer Caroline Rossy eration on the right hand, stands before magnificent 1960 Swedish tapestry which depicts life in New Sweden.
fractured ribs and collar bone, tissue and muscle damage to the right arm, multiple contusions on the chest and stomach area, bruised right lung which caused difficulty in breathing, and general swelling. Many surgeries later, The Pilot is on his way to recuperation. During last week’s big Marine Corps Golf Tournament in Quantico, Virginia, he was all smiles and big personality with son Sean at his side and surrounded by dozens of
friends. He looks forward to the future and as he puts it, ‘is happy to be on this side of the daisies.” We were all gathered at a popular Marine hangout, Paddy’s Steakhouse and if it wasn’t for the wheelchair, you wouldn’t have a clue that The Pilot cheated The Grim Reaper out of his soul. Knocking back pints of Guinness beer, he held court and rest assured everyone that the trip up from Atlanta to visit with his buddies meant the world to him. “I’m anx-
ious to get back to rehab but this gathering of friends has really put the spirit back, both literally and figuratively! If I knew I was going to drink this much, I would have brought my hollow leg!” he jokes. Son Sean reiterates what his dad has been saying all along,” My dad is strong and has always been a fighter. By this time next year, he’ll probably be sprinting in the Del-Vets Daddy Wags/Tom Pitts Toys For Tots Run. He is that determined.”

DROP Is A ‘No’ Vote For Bill Rubin Tenth Council Dist. Democrat candidate Bill Rubin made it official this week: “I am pledging I will not vote for Marian Tasco for Council President if she is a candidate for that position after the November General Election.” Rubin, who is considered a serious threat to incumbent Republican Councilman Brian O’Neill, added, “A new Philadelphia must start with new leadership. Tasco has admirably served her constituents as she will in the 9th Dist. next January, but, due to her involvement in the DROP, should not add that burden to the presidency.” Rubin this week sent a letter to O’Neill’s City Hall office, asking him to let his constituents know his intentions about the DROP program. The letter included a waiver form for O’Neill to submit to the Board of Pensions & Retirement for O’Neill to fill out and submit. In his letter, Rubin wrote, “The attached form will effectively declare your intention to forego any Benefit you may be
entitled to under the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP).There have been at least four opportunities over the last 11 years for City Council to remove elected officials, including you, from this program. On each occasion you and your colleagues have failed to do so. Please sign the attached form and return it to the Philadelphia Board of Pensions and Retirement at your earliest convenience.” Rubin concluded, “I have many important issues I would like to debate with my opponent, such as property taxes, school funding, outside employment by elected officials, and term limits.” Rubin added, “He needs to let his 10th Dist. constituents to know if he intends to sign up or not so that question doesn’t constantly pop up in any forum or debate.” Woman Needed To Clean House?

Thatcher who said it best: “In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.” I accept this responsibility as the first woman to represent a major party in a mayoral contest and challenge all our citizens, and in particular to the young ladies sitting in our broken schools, hoping for a better future. For more than 50 years the leadership of our city has been led by one party, the Democrats, and their results are telling. Clearly there is need for new leadership, new understanding, and new solutions.” FOP Sues City To Form PAC
FOP President John McNesby knows the efficacy of adding PAC money to an endorsement. He saw it work well for IBEW Local 98 Business Mgr. John Dougherty, whose endorsements are sought after by candidates. Since the majority of City police and retirees have addresses in the Northeast, the FOP Lodge 5 endorsement carries double strength in Dis-
trict races in that area. Its membership does follow the leadership endorsements citywide as well. That is why McNesby has filed a civil lawsuit against the City over a City Charter rule which prohibited cops and firefighters from make any kind of contribution for political causes or candidates. The suit follows months of negotiations with the Cit’s law and labor departments to get an administrative change. Fire Fighters Union Local 22 sued the City and won the right to make contributions in 2003. McNesby sees a victory coming since his is the only union whose members can’t make donations or contribute to a PAC. He also welcomes an affirmative ruling which will allow the Police Dept.’s 6,000 members to make contributions. Presently only retirees can. Pity The Politicos On This Website

Barbara Capozzi, who lost the bitter 2nd Dist. Council
race to State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson by 46 votes, has asked the City Commission to consider the fact she may have lost the election because another candidate’s name was taped over in the 36th, 40th and 46th Wards.
She asserts someone ordered Damon Roberts’ name to be effaced, contrary to a judge’s ruling that his name must remain on the ballot. Capozzi believes out of the votes Johnson got in those three Wards, at least 50 could
have gone to Roberts. Capozzi is asking the results all of all votes in those Divisions affected be invalidated. If Capozzi’s request is upheld, it would likely lead to a rare and astonishing turnaround in this exciting contest.
Sheriff Candidate Expects To Be Arrested If She Wins

There is Hollywood, Cal., money coming to her, since her son actor Mark Webber is now very successful and busy in Hollywood. His latest film is Scott Pilgrim Versus the World. He’s not only contributing to her, but raising bucks from colleagues, who consider his mother a class act herself. “I expect to see thousands of small contributions from like-minded people throughout the country. We have seen
scheduled for us, as of now, 56 house parties across the country. President Obama gathered in millions that way, and though I don’t have national press all the time, I have had enough that I now serve as a symbol for the thousands who find themselves in financial straits,” said Honkala. She knows the pain, since her “own baby sister, a homeowner of 20 years and a fulltime SEIU worker, lost her home. Her husband had been laid off for six months. They applied for all the relief programs, but the bank refused to modify the loan, doubling the mortgage, since she was forced to refinance.” Honkala has been arrested over 200 times, all for civil disobedience, plus resisting arrest, assaulting police officers. “I was found guilty of obstructing the view of the Liberty Bell, by bringing in a half dozen homeless families and placing them between the
bell and the public. I had to report daily for six months to a federal probation officer and I have a stay-away order from Independence Park.” Her most recent confrontation resulted in her being charged with seven felonies “when I brought 200 homeless people to the opening of the Constitution Center, even though I had a ticket to the event myself.” Her hearing brought out a packed audience, surprisingly not of supporters but of police officers, who were not cheering her on. The testimony of several officers as to her assaulting them was repudiated by a film taken of the entire event. “Unfortunately, they needed a fall guy,” she said. “The arresting officer was suspended from the force.” She lodged a suit against the City for unlawful arrest and settled out of court for $22,000 – $1,000 for each year she would have gotten if

Neither Democrat State Rep. Jewell Williams (D-N. Phila.) nor Republican Joshua West may be aware, and most voters won’t know until the week before Nov. 3, Cheri Honkala, the feisty, nationally renowned crusader for the homeless, will be also seeking the office for Sheriff, on the Green Party ticket. Yet she opened her campaign office recently as the Green candidate on the ballot and will be listed in column three. If she is elected, she believes it won’t be long after she will find herself escorted to prison by State Troopers wearing the badge of the County Sheriff. She states that is because she refuses to evict families from their homes due to foreclosure. “It is understandable,” she says. “The laws, that proscribe what the Sheriff must do, go contrary to what is morally right for the poor, who are being thrown out of their homes, mostly with no fault of their own and without representation.” She adds, “Few politicians want to challenge the banks. I will immediately cease posting writs of eviction on the doors of needy Philadelphians requested by the banks and other mortgage holders.” She’s running because she says, “I’ve been working on

The Ambassadors of Liberia and Angola are invited guests and a delegation from Liberia will be in town for the festivities. Earlier that day, a Liberian Business Roundtable will be held at the University of Pennsylvania’s Iron Gate Theater, 3700 Chestnut Street. But the highlight of the weekend is the annual Odunde Festival, which takes place at 23rd & South Streets and begins with a march to the Delaware River to offer tributes to Oshun, the Yoruba Goddess of the River. Headlining the entertainment on the main stage this summer is hip-hop legend Slick Rick. As part of the festival, Community Visionary Awards will be presented. Here are this year’s honorees: LOIS & BUMI “MOTHER & DAUGHTER” AWARD • Faatimah Gamble, Cofounder of Universal Cos. • Tamelia Hinson, VP of Universal Cos. Real Estate Division.

Answer: It has been my experience, having filed bankruptcy for probably over 100 military folks, that the filing of a bankruptcy does not impact their jobs, their clearance, or their future in the military, as long as they are honest with their command and do not try to keep it a secret. The military
will consider whether the financial problems started long ago, that the financial problems were caused by outside influences (by a spouse’s lay-off, for example), or that the service member is now trying to get help for the problem. On the contrary, one service member client of mine received two promotions during his Chapter 13 case. Next week’s question: Can I give back my car in Chapter 13?
Some food for thought rising out of a close examination of the election returns for May 15, 2011. First, in the Democratic race for Mayor, MILTON STREET received 24% of the vote. MICHAEL NUTTER received the remaining 76%. In numbers, that represents 35,000 votes cast for Street, which seems to mean most of these were a protest vote against Michael Nutter. Looking forward to the fall election, it would seem that if JOHN STREET does in fact file as an Independent, he should have the benefit of those votes as a starter. If he does not file, then it is realistic to believe KAREN BROWN (if she turns out to be the Republican nominee) would be the beneficiary of a substantial number of those voters. Some, for sure, may well be the type of Democrats who can’t bring themselves to vote for a Republican, so they won’t vote at all. But it also may be a straw in the wind to show dissatisfaction with Nutter and his administration, and the Republicans are in for a large benefit from a protest vote which would go to Brown. In the race for Council at Large, since five Democratic incumbents were renominated, it appears they should win in the fall. Who among the Republican five will be the lucky two to garner the most votes? In a general election, most of the Republican votes come from the Northeast. DENNY O’BRIEN has been a State Representative in the heart of the Northeast whose influence has spread beyond his legislative District. So he would be a logical choice for one of the two vacancies which, by the City Charter mandates, must go to the minority party. In this case it the Republican Party. The remaining vacancy should go to DAVID OH, a good campaigner who was almost elected in the 2007 elections. It would be plausible to assume that he will not lose his basic support which has carried him this far and that he will receive the remaining vacancy. Of the remaining candidates – MICHAEL UNTERMEYER, JOSEPH McCOLGAN and AL TAUBENBERGER – Untermeyer has run twice for citywide office (in a Democratic primary, for Sheriff, and in the 2009 general election as a Republican, for District Attorney. Taubenberger is known for his run for Mayor in 2007, and is the executive director of the Greater Northeast Chamber of Congress. FRANK RIZZO was apparently hurt politically by using to his own advantage the DROP program, so he will not be on the ballot and not be a contender. O’Brien and Oh are proven vote-getters. Who knows? The combination of the independent votes in the 5th, 8th, 27th, 21st and 9th, plus the dissatisfaction expressed by the large vote Milton Street received, might be enough to swing victory to the Republican Mayoral candidate.
Yo! Here are some serious thoughts sent to me by one of my readers for you to think about. I believe: that we don’t have to change friends if we understand friends change – no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that. That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love – that you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life – that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be – that you should always leave loved ones with loving words; it may be the last time you see them. That you can keep going long after you think you can’t – that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel – that either you control your attitude or it controls you. That money is a lousy way of keeping score – that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time – that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down, will be the ones to help you get back up – that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel – that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. That it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others; sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself – that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief – that you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret; it could change your life forever – that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different – that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you – that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you – you will find the strength to help. That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being – that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become – that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon – that you should pass these thoughts to all of the people you believe in. I just did.

The Public Record • June 2, 2011
The Barnes Foundation is closing its doors in Merion to visitors this month at the end of June and will immediately begin the move of its fabulous art collection to its new home in Philadelphia. This newspaper was the first to refer to it as “Stealing the Barnes” in Apr. 20, 2006. Remember this cartoon by RT in 2002, which we republish here. Our editorial cartoonist RT was a student at the Barnes Foundation in 1979. Another Barnes student, Lenny Feinberg, took classes there in the 1990s. Feinberg made a fine and noteworthy Sundance film, The Art of the Steal, about the collection’s move to the City, which involved years of complex backroom negotiations and the assistance of the City’s most-prominent movers and shakers – in order to break the will of the audacious collector Dr. Alfred Barnes. He expressly indicated he did not want his collection to go to Philadelphia. Check out the trailer for the 2009 film at www.metcafe.com. If you google the internet to Wikipedia.org and search “Barnes Foundation” you will learn a lot about this world-famous art school and see some of its paintings in the photo gallery. Some people don’t want to see this move, like those at http://www.savethebarnes.org/.In the end, the question remains: “Who will control a $25 billion art collection?” For readers, there is a very interesting book on the subject, Dr. Barnes of Merion, by Henry Hart, 1963, published by Farrar, Strauss & Giroux. To those who have followed this story for over the past decade, it is well known Ray Perelman, age 93, is the real power behind this move to the Parkway. Perelman is a gentleman with good intent. But the underlying propriety of the way City and State pocketed the collection may still run afoul of the legal rights of other institutions. It isn’t over yet!

Ringside With The Shadowboxer
Tony “Boom Boom” Ferrante
‘Boom Boom’ Returns Popular Northeast Philly lightheavyweight Tony “Boom Boom” Ferrante returns to the ring tomorrow night in what promises to be an exciting evening of professional boxing down at Harrah’s Chester. The 26year old Italian American boxer has developed a huge fan base in the Philly area because of his action packed style, which includes wins over Anthony Pietrantonio and Simon “One Punch” Carr. He also won the WBF United States Championship in 2009 with a win over tough Billy Bailey. Ferrante hopes to add another win to his record, but will have to face a
very formidable foe in South Carolina’s Joe Park. Park comes in with a 8-5 record with 6 knockouts and has fought a number of undefeated prospects including former world title challenger LaJuan Simon. The card is being promoted by Joey Eye Boxing along with David Feldman and will be headlined by a six round lightweight battle between Victor Vasquez and Gutavo Daily. Also, Lightweight Angel Ocasio, Middleweight Rashad Brown, and SuperMiddleweight Fred Jenkins, Jr. will all look to remain undefeated in separate preliminary bouts.
Inside Your Computer What Is Common About Programs? by Peter Radatti, President and CEO, CyberSoft Operating Corporation What do the following computer programs all have in common: Adobe PDF reader, Flash animation, email, and web browsers? Answer: they are all methods that allow viruses and Trojans to install on your computer. I think everyone is aware of email and web browsers as a danger, but very few people seem to be aware of the risks of PDF documents, flash animation and movies. PDF documents are very common on the internet. Many legal documents and government documents are delivered in PDF form. The reasons for this is a PDF document is much more exact than a web page. You can print a PDF document that looks exactly like it would if professionally printed. You might think you can just avoid the use of PDF documents, but you can’t. Even the IRS uses PDF format to deliver tax documents such as the W-4. Of course, you can trust documents you download from the IRS; that is not the problem. The problem is PDF
documents are everywhere and are impossible to avoid, and due to decisions made by Adobe, the format is not safe. The next program is Flash, which is another Adobe product you cannot avoid. Most animation and movies on the internet today are provided by Flash. There are great reasons for that, including the factyou can resize Flash displays and they still look good. They compress movies while the other movie format, mp4, tends to create very large files. Flash provides tons of extra features like rewind, look ahead and others. When you visit a website and there is a short animation or movie type commercial running, it is a very good chance that it is Flash. How do you protect yourself? You have very little choice here. You need to make sure your software is all up to date. That will help some, but these problems are basic to the design of the products and are not going to change. Your only real defense is to have a good antivirus program installed and up to date. After that, there is no defense.

The supply charge is the part of the bill that reflects the amount of gas used by the customer. This charge is what PGW pays for the gas and is passed on to the customer without markup. The delivery charge includes the cost of delivering natural gas to the customer’s meter, distribution system maintenance and customer billing costs, as well as weather adjustments.

While nobody likes to impose any kind of surcharge, the Board felt it was necessary and appropriate in the face of escalating fuel costs that have been steadily increasing over the past several months,” Fenerty said.

The Philadelphia Gas Works will decrease what residential customers pay for natural gas. The average residential heating customer will pay about 1.7% less per month for the next three months. The change reflects a decrease in the forecasted price of the gas purchased from suppliers. The new cost for gas will change from $1.59 per Ccf to $1.56 per Ccf. Residential heating customers will pay $1.56 per one hundred cubic feet (Ccf) of natural gas beginning Jun. 1, 2011. The price for PGW’s commercial, industrial and municipal customers will also decrease on Jun. 1, 2011. The rate will stay in effect through Sep, 1, 2011, when PGW will determine, based on market conditions, whether or not the rate should change. “The Philadelphia Gas Works is dedicated to purchasing, on our customers’ behalf, the lowest priced natural gas that we can,” said Craig White, president and CEO for PGW. “And even though customers will use less natural gas for the next few months, there is never a bad time to learn about our rebate programs and ways everyone can conserve and save all year long by visiting www.pgworks.com.” The company anticipates that its rates should remain stable, based on current market projections, producing savings for all of the company’s customers compared to recent years. PGW’s residential natural gas rates are made up of two main components: a supply charge and delivery charge.
