Blatstein Is Becoming Another Trump In So. Phila.

by Maria Merlino When Jackie Fitzpatrick was elected as the new President of the South Philadelphia Business Association, she wanted to take the monthly meetings in a new direction as well as educate the members.

Another one of her goals is to expand the business base and bring new members on board.

This month’s meeting, held at Villa DiRoma, the iconic Italian restaurant on 9th Street with its classic homemade Italian cuisine, fit the bill.

Pip DeLuca was our host and joined us for a six-course meal. The waitstaff couldn’t have been better. One of the waitresses stopped at our table and saw there were a few macs left on the platter.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t

you like them?” she asked.

“Liked them? This was our second helping!” exclaimed Fitzpatrick.

VP attorney Vince DeFino was proud to announce the keynote speaker, developer Bart Blatstein, who DeFino wisecracked was the Donald Trump of Philadelphia. That got a good laugh as Blatstein got up to address the crowd of about 50 members.

They learned he had aspirations of becoming a physician and for his first job was a teaching assistant in the pathology lab at Temple University. “Right autopsies were key. I was working hard at it and took my MedCATs for medical school, but something was not really clicking. I wasn’t sure if medicine was the life for me,” he began. “I talked it over with my father.

This was in the 1970s and Rizzo and Cianfrani were very

active in politics. My dad knew them well and the next thing I know, I’m working at the Philadelphia Housing Authority.

“I started looking at houses to buy. I knew how to hit a nail with a hammer so I thought maybe I could get a cheap property and flip it,” he continued. “I did find one on the 400 block of Fulton Street.

After I sold it, my profit was more that my annual salary at the hospital! I was hooked. I just set out to make a living but had an innate ability to know what to do.

“I bought into the hype of Delaware Avenue,” Blatstein explained. “The secret is to get into a neighborhood early.

My wife and I love Italy. We would walk around Rome and

see these beautiful piazzas. It reminded me of Philadelphia.

When the opportunity arose to buy the Schmitz Brewery in Northern Liberties, I took all my money and ideas and built the Piazza, a concert of housing, shops and restaurants. It soon became known as a posh, cool and hip place to be.

South Philadelphia is Blatstein’s next target. “Next year I’m breaking ground at Broad & Washington, a four-block parcel. It will have two 30story towers, 800 units with fine dining and shopping,” he said.

Blatstein is also going to Atlantic City where he’s buying the Pier Shops across from Caesar’s. Not bad for someone who started with a tiny South Philly rowhouse.

Durant and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Moore appeared in small roles in movies including Philadelphia, starring Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks, as well as Beloved and Rocky.

A winner of the WriceCampbell Award for Neighborhood Safety, Paul chairsthe Southwest Community Development Corp., serving economic needs of residents.

Paul “Earthquake” Moore is an Associate Minister at New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, 7001 Woodland Avenue, and currently co-hosts an internet radio show, “Paul Moore Primetime Power Show, What You Need To Know” on Spiritual Vibe Network addressing diversity and communities.

Moore’s wife Crystal, an avid community activist, was

not always so involved as she is today. They have two adult daughters, Paulette and Erica, and one adult son, Edgar, along with nine grandchildren.

“Our children and grandchildren do what we do as community activists,” said Crystal. “I have a stronger administrator background.

He is a ‘softie’, he does from the heart. I am more business minded.”

After three years of marriage, she became active, said her husband. “Whoever I work with, she works with them too. She is my administrator. She gives the donations and baskets away. I’m a softie sometimes, but my wife handles business. People can’t take advantage of her,” Moore said proudly.

Tom Moore, 38, is Earthquake’s nephew and is proud of his uncle’s accomplish-

ments and involvement in the city. “I’m out here supporting my uncle for the cause,” he said.

Rev. Derick May is a friend and supporter who awaits the moment of distributing the turkey baskets at the finish line. He said, “The Celebrity Turkey Run-A-Thon is for needy people and families. More than 75 families will be receiving turkey baskets.”

Moore has aspirations of joining the political arena in the city after his retirement from the City. “Once I get my 20 years in, I will be running for some type of political office,” he vowed For now he is supporting Lynne Abraham, who will be running for Mayor. “I am her number-one supporter,” stated Moore.

Earthquake Healing Community As Usual

by Marsha Cooper Stroman Paul “Earthquake” Moore, 58, raised with 11 siblings, had a vision as young boy growing up in Southwest Philadelphia. Upon witnessing his 10-year-old best friend die from starvation and freezing to death, Moore dreamed of making a difference.

Now he has created his “Annual Celebrity Turkey Run” every Thanksgiving holiday. As usual, Philadelphia police, firefighters, neighbors and friends graced the motorcade from 50th & Woodland Avenue to 7000 Woodland Avenue, ending at the New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church where Moore distributed turkey baskets to almost 100 families this week.

Capt. John Maroney of the 12th Police Dist. said, “We are here to usher him out each year, in the front and the rear

of the parade to insure safety for all. He helps raise money for needy families.”

Rev. Adrian Hospedale, 49, of Police Civil Affairs, said of Moore, “I run/jog with him. We call him Rev. Po Po from being in the streets working with him and helping people, directing people to Christ.”

“I have been doing community activism for almost 20 years,” said Moore. “I am only here to do God’s work.

The police, clergy and civildisturbance officers have always supported this cause.”

A hard worker since childhood, Moore is employed as a Philadelphia trash collector.

He was a professional junior welterweight boxer, going rounds with greats like Billy Costello and Kevin Rooney (a Mike Tyson trainee. He’s sparred/trained with Roberto

Polls Show Abraham Well Known To Voters

by Maria Merlino After her rousing speech announcing her candidacy for Mayor of Philadelphia on Wednesday at the Franklin Institute, Lynne Abraham had her first official breakfast fundraiser, the next day at The Famous on 4th & Bainbridge, compliments of Marty Sam-

schick and owner Russ Cowan.

It was a high-octane crowd and I’m told they increased her political coffers quite a bit.

Full of energy, the former DA worked the room like she owned the place, stopping at every table to chat. She hopes to “end the 332 years’ drought without a woman as Mayor of the city!”

A phrase I kept hearing all morning was “we have to

Lynne has transformational leadership. She’s the transcendental candidate. And if we have to shatter a few dishes to do it, then let’s do it.”

likely candidates in all relevant categories. Were the election held today, she would win by a wide margin. The poll, while early, demonstrates she will prove to be tough opposition.

Lynne Abraham goes into the race for Mayor with a significant lead over current and potential opponents. Abraham garners 31% of the vote, 19 points ahead of her nearest rival, Darrell Clarke (12%).

No other candidate breaks double digits.

Abraham’s support is strong across ideological groups. She garners 34% of the vote among liberals, 30% among moderates and 26% among conservatives. Abraham is also leading in every section of the city.

Abraham’s strength is grounded in the high esteem in which Philadelphia voters hold her. Abraham is significantly better-liked (58% favorable, 17% unfavorable) than the rest of the field, with favorable rat-

ings 17 points higher than Clarke’s, 18 points higher than Anthony Williams’ and muchlarger advantages over the other candidates.

Not only is Abraham well liked, but voters also have strong recollections of her performance as Philadelphia District Attorney (61% positive, 28% negative). Abraham’s strong job performance ratings stand in sharp contrast to City Council President Darrell Clarke (35% positive, 38% negative) and State Sen. Anthony Williams (35% positive, 35% negative), all of which will change when Williams’ campaign gets rolling, and if Clarke should make it a “go”.

Abraham says she’s aware early polls don’t mean a victory. She sees herself as the main target, and looks forward to the challenge.

to change our approach to the difficult challenges we face. I have no use for the tired old practice of pitting some parents in some schools against other parents in other schools.

We have an obligation to prepare our children to be productive citizens for the future. We should be lifting up all Philadelphia school students.

Our families are telling us, every day in every way, that they cannot wait for us to fix the schools. It’s time for us to get it done, and it starts with all of us working together.

“When it comes to building our economy, the same rule applies. Instead of demonizing business and daring companies to bring their jobs and investment to Philadelphia, we need

to show them Philadelphia is the best place to build their future, and ours. My vision of Philadelphia is a city that attracts business in every neighborhood, just as it did in the days when Philadelphia was known as the Workshop of the World. Businesses that invest in our neighborhoods create more jobs, better schools, and a chance for all of our people to build a better future.

State Sen. Anthony Williams (D-W. Phila.) announced his candidacy in front of a crowd of hundreds of supporters at the Independence Visitor Center, calling for leadership that brings different sides of the community together for “One Philadelphia”, strengthening every neighborhood.

He started off with a serious note, saying, “All that makes us great, makes us a city that needs to compete on the world stage, not just the national stage. And we need to make changes to get us there.

“Most of all, we need to change the way we conduct the public’s business. Our people are sending that message loud and clear, and it’s time we paid attention. Just two weeks ago, nearly two out of every three voters in Philadelphia decided they’d rather stay home than vote in a very important election for Governor. As President Obama said last week, I appreciate those who are here. I also appreciate those who are not here.

“In Philadelphia, for too long too many of our leaders have been stuck working in the same old political ways. Instead of finding ways to bring people together, our leaders too often have profited from the act of keeping us divided.

Instead of demanding more from our leaders, we’ve become accustomed to settling for less.

“I don’t want to be the Mayor for just one part of town. I want to lift up every part of town. I know we are strongest as a city when every neighborhood is strong – when we are ‘One Philadelphia.’

That is my vision for our city, and why I want to be your Mayor.

by Michael P. Boyle, Esq. How an ALJ determines residual functional capacity (RFC) is vital to reaching a decision on a disability or SSI claim.

Deciding whether a claimant is limited to sedentary work vs. light work can prove the difference between

the Medical-Vocational Guidelines. Sedentary work consists mainly of sitting (about six hours of an eighthour work day), with occasional lifting of objects weighting up to 10 lb.

Often, an ALJ will rule a claimant can perform light work by finding she can frequently lift 10 lb. and occasionally lift 20 lb., despite being limited to standing and walking only two hours of an eight-hour work day.

day. A restriction to standing and walking two hours in an eight-hour work day means someone could not perform the lifting and carrying required by light-duty jobs.

If an ALJ rules a claimant over 50 can perform a lightduty job, but limits standing and walking to two hours a day, there is a strong issue for appeal.

by Tom Flynn and Rocco DeGregorio Question: I recently purchased a “new” car that had 300 miles on it. Just curious, but how many miles typically are put on a vehicle before it is considered used?

Answer: In this situation it seems a better term would be “pre-owned.” By definition of “used,” many cars on the lot have been previously driven which makes them seem quite “used.”

The defining characteristic, however; between a new and used (pre-owned) car is that a used car has been pre-

viously titled. Typically, a new car would have fewer miles, unless it was a service loaner or demo model. Service loaners and demo models can have thousands of miles on them but they are listed as such.

In terms of financing, registration, etc. the only thing that truly makes a car used is a previous title on the vehicle.

Tom has been serving automotive customers in the Philadelphia area for over 20 years as a salesman and then General Manager of Pacifico Auto Group. Rocco is a top automotive consultant.

Our Opinion We Too Are Thankful

Another Opinion

The Public Record • November 27, 2014

We’re marking our 15th year as a publication dedicated to reporting the news seldom given its due by the other members of the print media, news concerning the activities of this city’s political, organized labor, schools, and community interests. We leave covering crime to the general media.

For the place of respect and as their major source for news given us by these groups, we are thankful.

We are especially thankful to the many unions who support us every week in a major way, and those unions who support our special editions regularly.

We are thankful for the many freelancers who contribute key stories and photos every week and to our group of dedicated columnists who need to be read in order to appreciate the scope and breadth and, often, scoops with which they furnish us.

We are thankful to our in-house crew and our massive circulation network for the great job in seeing we come out on schedule, come rain, snow, or holidays.

And, we are thankful above all, for the guidance of the Good Lord who unfailingly levels the highway for us.

A Wrong Way To Reduce CO2 proposed rule establishes CO2 reduction targets for each state and relegates the actual detailed rule-making to those states. The EPA is encouraging the states to set of cap-and-trade programs singularly or jointly with other states to help companies comply with targeted emission standards.

The Obama administration was unable to get federal CO2 cap-and-trade legislation through Congress. This new rule is Plan B. There is good regulation and bad regulation. Bad regulation is that which is unnecessary and/or poorly drafted. I question the point of targeting a reduction in CO2 of 30% by 2030 because the industry has already reduced CO2 output by 14% since 2005 due to increased use of natural gas in generating power owing to low natural-gas prices compared to coal.

Coal plants emit roughly

twice the amount of CO2 per unit of power as natural-gas facilities. Continued low natural-gas prices owing to the shale-gas revolution will probably result in lower CO2 emissions without this new regulation.

That being said, once the EPA determined that CO2 “endangered” humans, it was required to regulate CO2 as per the Clean Air Act. Additionally the US Supreme Court determined the EPA should regulate CO2.

Good regulation is consistent and clear. This rule will not result in consistent regulation. The Clean Plant Plan sets up a situation where there could be 50 materially different rules affecting the emission of same gas, CO2.

Many power companies operate in multiple jurisdictions, forcing them to set up potentially costly duplicative compliance functions.

The EPA’s rule is to be finalized by June 2015. The

by Denise Furey The media are highlighting the Obama administration’s executive actions affecting immigration and ObamaCare. Another attempt to do an end-run around Congress, which is receiving less press, is the Environmental Protection’s proposed “Clean Power Plan”.

Not only is this rule skirting the legislative process, but it will potentially hinder companies investing in their business (and thus their communities), negatively impact employment and lead to higher power prices.

The problem with the rule is not so much the intent to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but the convoluted way the EPA proposes to do so.

The draft rule suggests the US mandate that the power sector reduce CO2 emissions from 2005 levels by 30% in 2030 or by 24% in 2025. The

states have until June 2016 to promulgate their detailed regulations. If states want to coordinate efforts such as regional cap-and-trade programs, they have until June 2017 to do so.

There is no way the states can meet these deadlines because the regulatory processes in most states do not move that fast. Furthermore, there will be numerous lawsuits at both the state and federal levels; therefore we will not see any clarity for a number of years.

The upshot is power companies will not be able to make informed decisions about needed investments in their business for a number of years. So they will delay projects, thus negatively affecting local economies and employment. Furthermore, the failure to build new capacity may impair the reliable supply of electricity in certain parts of the country.

Anyone can register his or her comments on the Clean Power Plan with the EPA until the end of this month.

Congressman Brady was nominated by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and unanimously approved by the Democratic Caucus. Congressman Brady is the first Philadelphian to serve as either chairman or Ranking Member of a full committee since the late Congressman Bill Gray in the 99th and 100th Congress.

The Committee oversees nearly $1 billion in Congressional spending, as well as the Capitol Police Dept., Capitol Visitors Center, the National Zoo and the Smithsonian Museums.

Strong GOP Bid Seen For Mayor Jeff Kolakowski penned an article about whether the Republicans can run and win in a city where Republicans are outnumbered eight to one.

After the May primary, the Democratic nominee will be the next Mayor, or so it may be assumed, he writes.

Philadelphians have not elected a Republican Mayor in over 60 years since voting Bernard “Barney” Samuel in for the second of two terms in 1948. Being a Republican in the City of Brotherly Love puts one in a minority. Around 12% of registered voters identify as GOP. Kolakowski believes some Republicans will register as Democrats so they can have a say in who becomes Mayor by

having a vote in the primary.

He interviewed Joe DeFelice, executive director of the Philadelphia Republican City Committee, who feels the electorate is dismayed over increased taxes, looking no further than the recent cigarette tax to fund Philly public schools. Add that to sales-tax, stormwater-tax, wage-tax and business-privilege-tax increases, and that leads to inhappy Democratic voters.

DeFelice sees millennials are moving into Center City and surrounding neighborhoods. Those who lived in the Philly suburbs and other towns are now transplanted into the city and retain positive feelings towards Republican policy they experienced. Those who are Libertarian or independent with Republican leanings want less government, less taxes and less spending.

There is a stereotypical image of a “Republican” that the Philly GOP is eroding. A

look at November’s General Election shows the changing face of the GOP, believes DeFelice. Armond James and Megan Rath both ran as Republicans against longtime Philadelphia Democrats Chaka Fattah and Bob Brady. Armond is a Black male in his 30s. Rath is a millennial female.

Danny Alvarez, who ran as Republican against Seth Williams for District Attorney in 2013, is of Hispanic heritage. Alvarez won several wards but was unsuccessful in his challenge.

Is it time, asks Kolakowski for a Republican, someone with a name? Three that come to mind are Kelvin Jeremiah, head of the Philadelphia Housing Authority; Farah Jiménez of the School Reform Commission; and Matt Wolfe, University City attorney.

The next question would be: Can they enjoy the challenge?

Congressman Bob Brady (D-Phila.)received a deluge of thanks from Holmesburg residents for getting the rusted Conrail Railroad trestle above the historic Pennypack Creek Bridge painted.

At Brady’s request, Joe Ashdale, business manager and secretary/treasurer of International Union of Painters & Allied Trades District Council 21, got volunteers from his members to repaint the bridge.

“This has been an eyesore in the community for too long.

But thanks to IUPAT it will soon be spruced up and will be recognized as a historic landmark,” Brady said.

Holmesburg Civic Association President Richard E. Frizell said, “For 15 years a lot of people tried to make this happen. It is not that others didn’t try but when Congressman Brady stepped up, he was able to bring the right players to the table; he got it done.

KATHLEEN KANE – not ready for prime time. I am going to turn over the quill to a female in the herd for this discussion.

When Kathleen Kane ran for Attorney General against Cumberland Co. DISTRICT ATTORNEY DAVID FREED, I did not want her to win – not just because she is a Democrat, but because Freed was clearly more qualified.

Freed had been a prosecutor for roughly 20 years and had experience running a DA’s office. He was endorsed not only by most Republican DAs in Pennsylvania but also by many Democratic DAs. Kane, by contrast, was an Assistant DA in Lackawanna Co. It was reported that in that position she took less than 20 cases to trial. The good thing about having a limited record is that there are fewer bad things to explain. Unfortunately for her, she now has a track record.

In the 2012 election, she promised to review the JERRY SANDUSKY prosecution suggesting that then-ATTORNEY GENERAL TOM CORBETT mishandled the case. She also ran ads with the slogan of “Send a prosecutor to Harrisburg, not a politician,” suggesting that seasoned and highly respected prosecutor Freed was really a politician in sheep’s clothing.

Well, both were not true. After an extensive review by a special investigator of the Sandusky case, she was pained to admit that Corbett’s prosecutors did their jobs. We now know who the political animal was in that race.

Sadly, not only is she a politician, she is not a good one.

She had been touted as a possible candidate against US SEN. PAT TOOMEY in 2016. CHRIS MATTHEWS suggested (Cont. Page 18)

I’m looking forward to spending Thanksgiving by hitting the Thanksgiving Day Parade on the Parkway, maybe grabbing a little brunch, and then going to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and a myriad of football games.

This Thursday is one of the rare times the Philadelphia Eagles will be playing football on Turkey Day. In fact, they’ll be playing the hated Dallas Cowboys on national television.

I bring this up because I find nothing more amusing than messing with Eagles fans.

Philadelphia is a city that has a whole lot going for it. It’s got historical stuff, great restaurants and some of best museums in the country.

It’s also got some stuff it needs to fix, like a School District that’s in chaos, housing stock that costs entirely too much money, and a second-class-citizen chip on its shoulder that it tries to overcome by relying on its sports teams.

When the teams are going well, everyone’s happy.

When they’re not, not so much.

That goes double for the Philadelphia Eagles.

While you can critique the Flyers, the Phillies and especially the Sixers (a team that cries out for criticism) critique the Eagles and you’ll catch the wrath.

Because I live in this area and catching the games for my favorite team, the Oakland Raiders, is hard, I’m forced to watch Eagles games. Lots of them.

Since this is the case, I’ve noticed a few things. Like, for example, if you have a decent quarterback with decent wide (Cont. Page 17)

Yo! Here we go again with this observation that may not be politically correct; however, it might bring a smile to someone’s face. If after you read the below you feel offended, I apologize in advance.

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger. “Man, that guy is stupid,” I thought to myself. I always smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here’s why.

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That’s 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an eight-lane highway. There are seven cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.

Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4,000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day. Statistically, females drive half of these. That’s 18,000 women drivers!

In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That’s 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That’s 449. According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That’s 98.

And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That’s 33. According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing, especially in California.

Men, take notice of this conclusion: This means every single day, I drive past at least one female who has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed. Give her the finger? I don’t think so.

GOOD news that the State Supreme Court vacated an order suspending without pay Traffic Court Judge MICHAEL SULLIVAN! Altogether fitting and proper despite objection from Chief Justice CASTILLE who authored a nine-page DISSENT. That and the puny Chadwick report equal 96 pages of unnecessary upheaval. AND TAXPAYERS FOOTED THE BILL – BIG TIME. Castille worried the people may gain the perception that the high court is laying the matter to rest. Well, MAYBE THEY ARE. We have a reconstituted Traffic Court – which needs NO OVERSEER. Castille noted Sullivan’s pay request as “temerity.” Sullivan was dragged through the mire for months of humiliation. I, after wearing the uniform of my country for 30 years, say it is Sullivan’s RIGHT to do so.

Who would want to go back there as a judge anyway? There are still gremlins ready to sing (as in Canary) or pounce. This turbulence from the Castille office reminds me of the story of Mary Clevenger’s husband, years ago, out in the Jersey Pines.

He was also a turbulent fellow who fought death, and vowed to come back if it claimed him. That night the well BOILED OVER. (HE NEVER CAME BACK.) We read that jails are ill equipped to deal with inmates having mental problems. True. What about work release? In an unannounced lockdown, you can’t get to work, and risk losing the job. How do you give the boss a courtesy call to say that you will be late? The judicial district “PJ” spoke on jails’ not being able to house all mental-issues inmates. And when a (Cont. Page 17)

What does former Pennsylvania GOV. ED RENDELL have up his sleeve? Rendell hosted a fundraiser to benefit the candidacy of KEN TRUJILLO, who is running for mayor of Philadelphia. Trujillo is perceived as a long long shot in the race. But Rendell continues to mystify in that he always chooses to thumb his nose at those who have supported him for decades.

Former DISTRICT ATTORNEY LYNNE ABRAHAM carried the water for him in putting together crime bills and helping him when he was both Mayor and Governor. STATE SEN. ANTHONY WILLIAMS worked to advance minimum-wage legislation while Rendell was Governor. So Rendell paid back both of those candidates by subtlety endorsing their opponent and helping him raise money. But as everyone knows, that’s just Ed….

Also on hand were WARD LEADERS BOB DELLAVELLA, MIKE McALEER, MIKE STACK, PAT PARKINSON, SHAWN DILLON, JOHN SABATINA and JANICE SHULMAN. Del Ricci has not declared his candidacy for the State House but is highly regarded in the community.

BART BLATSTEIN, the developer and potential casino magnate, told several media outlets last week that the decision to award a license to Live was a terrible decision. Interestingly, one of the main partners at Parx casino just outside of Philadelphia is also one of the main partners for the new casino license. BOB GREEN is a very likable individual. But is he so likable that he should be benefiting from two casino licenses? Folks, better just ask Bart Blatstein.

KATIE McGINTY is officially the Chief of Staff for GOV.-ELECT TOM WOLF. She is also a good friend of State Senator and LT. GOV.-ELECT MIKE STACK. McGinty is a native of Northeast Philadelphia where she grew up in a family of 10 kids and attended St. Hubert’s HS. Stack introduced her for her first confirmation committee hearing when she served as DEP Secretary. McGinty refers to Stack as her homeboy and he refers to her as his homegirl. Let’s see if Philadelphia benefits from the local connection.

We are facing hard economic times and many families won’t be able to celebrate this holiday season with the ones that they love the most and that is the due to the lack of leadership and quality jobs.

The title of elected officials are “Public Servants” to serve the people. My question to you is, who is serving you?

family-owned and -operated supermarket chain of 11 Philadelphia area ShopRite supermarkets. It was founded in 1988 by President and CEO Jeffrey Brown. The company is also well known for its state-of-the-art supermarkets that are spotlessly clean, offering a wide variety of fresh food, low prices and friendly customer service.

Brown’s has been well recognized for its dedication to the communities it serves and was recognized for the past several years as “The Best Employer” in the Philadelphia

region by the Philadelphia Business Journal and other publications. The White House has also acknowledged Brown’s for its efforts in serving urban communities who lack affordable, fresh and healthy food.

The entire ShopRite chain has donated more than $30 million to 1,700 worthy charities and food banks since the program began in 1999. As a title sponsor of the LPGA’s ShopRite Classic, ShopRite has raised more than $24 million for local schools, hospitals and community groups.

CONCERT’S DEMISE Pa r k t o B a r / Tr e e s t o C h a b l i s Part 188/200

RE:

Unpublished Letter to Editor South Philadelphia Review

Date: June 7, 2006

On June 6, 2006, the Review gave its readers “The Business,” scheduled at “6:30 till?” at Chickie’s and Pete’s (quotes from 6.1.06 Review ad). The band calling itself “The Business” were busy (starting at 7:30 p.m.) — playing loud, louder, and loudest. My ears were smarting because of extreme decibel levels. The indoor site at the big sports bar also smacked of kickback with people sitting at tables ordering food and drinks.

UPDATE: Since 2006, Review Publishing, Inc’s center city summer concert series have been held annually in an outdoor environment, Rittenhouse Square Park. However, in the same period of time, the South Phila Review’s summer concert series changed locale from the great outdoors (trees and breeze in Marconi Park) to a noisy, indoor setting—a sports bar.

Perhaps Mr. Anthony Clifton, owner of two, weekly newspapers, will want to show fairness to South Philadelphians in future years by alternating both sites (indoor to outdoor, and outdoor to indoor) in years 2015, 2016, etc?

We want him to show his affection for South Philly.

Join The Philadelphia Public OUT & ABOUT (Cont. From Page 12) Record’s receivers, you’ll have a great time throwing passes against Christmas the Eagles secondary. They’re pretty suspect. You might get Special Issue some pressure from the defensive line because the linebacks Dec 24th and linemen are actually pretty good; but if the quarterback Call doesn’t get sacked, he’s going to have a great day.

John David at And then there’s the quarterback. Let’s be brutally hon215-755-2000 est here. The Eagles haven’t had a decent quarterback since Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Racial Slurs. Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez are not the answer.

But when I bring that up, especially on social media, wow … the reactions.

Like I said, I enjoy messing with Eagles fans, mostly because of how seriously they take this stuff. You would think that someone was going to lose a kidney or not get the bone marrow they need if the Eagles don’t win.

Which brings me to another point about this. The Oakland Raiders have won exactly one game this year. And they won it last week against, of all teams, the Kansas City Chiefs, coached by former Eagles head coach Andy Reid.

Yet, I’ll sit down and watch a Raiders game knowing that (a) they’re not very good and (b) they’re probably going to lose. It’s not that serious to me.

And maybe the collective blood pressure of the City of Philadelphia would go down if it stopped being so serious to Eagles fans.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In the interest of the public good, the concert sponsors (the Review, Sunoco, Chickie’s and Pete’s, Citizen’s Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, Methodist Hospital, and Commerce Bank) must aspire to revisit concerts in Marconi Park—as does the Philadelphia Weekly (the Review’s sister paper) sponsors summer concerts in Love Park, and inside the park at Rittenhouse Square.

It is Thanksgiving week, and there is not a lot of news, so I read two REHASH articles on the weakening CREDIBILITY of State Attorney General Kathleen KANE. All REPEAT STUFF. I see less of a credibility problem and more of an ADMINISTRATIVE one. One article on her testimony before a suburban Grand Jury was analyzed by a former US Attorney – the very same fellow called on for a quote OVER and OVER. It is TIRESOME for these sameperson quotes. BUT it is easy for a writer; you can phone and not GET UP to get a quote. The landscape is lit-

(Cont. From Page 12) that she could be President.

After her serious missteps over the past year, she may be lucky to serve out her term as AG. CHIEF JUSTICE of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court RON CASTILLE appointed a special prosecutor to look into allegations that she (and perhaps others) illegally leaked information. She has hired New York attorney GERALD SHARGEL, who has also represented stellar citizens like JOHN GOTTI. She hired a real-life Olivia Pope, LANNY DAVIS, who was counsel to PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON. (Just in case you do not watch TV, Olivia Pope is a fictional Washington crisis manager in the show “Scandal”.)

This is on top of her recent false claims that email exchanges among former AG employees (and others) of hardcore pornography included images of children.

The next day, her office released a statement that the images of children were not pornographic. Why did she mention the pictures of children when discussing pornographic email exchanges if she believed the images were innocent? As her statements on this topic were made in an interview on CNN, I guess we can go watch the tape.

But remember, she does not trust tapes. She claimed a sting investigation, conducted by now-Philadelphia prosecutor and then-Assistant AG FRANK FINA was seriously flawed. Fina had a number of state legislators and a Traffic Court judge on tape accepting

illegal contributions. Interestingly enough, Philadelphia DA SETH WILLIAMS decided to pick up the cases, and the Traffic Court judge recently pled guilty.

It was over this investigation that she found herself on the wrong side of the mainstream media in Southeastern Pennsylvania. After another Philadelphia paper published a less-than-favorable article about her in respect to this investigation, she demanded an interview with the editorial board. She arrived at the meeting with controversial attorney RICHARD SPRAGUE and refused to comment based on advice from counsel.

Luckily for Kane, she is under a gag order in the current grand-jury investigation which means she is legally prohibited from putting her foot in her mouth.

Fundraising season is upon us for next year’s municipal races. Tuesday, Dec. 2, there will be an event for MATT WOLFE, candidate for City Council at Large at the Racquet Club with LT. GOV. JIM CAWLEY as the guest speaker. Thursday, Dec. 4, there will be a fundraiser for CITY COMMISSIONER AL SCHMIDT at the home of MIKE CIBIK and MONICA CZAPLA.
