Saints Make Italian Market A Winner

by Joe Shaheeli The annual Italian Market Weekend Celebration marking over 100 years of its existence brought out thousands for the weekend, creating jams for pedestrians and motorists alike.

But on Sunday at high noon, festivities took a rest to make room for the annual Parade of the Statues of Saints which started at St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi Church at 7th & Montrose, wound its way

along 8th Street to Reed and then over to 9th Street and through the length of the Market, turning onto Christian Street, ending at St. Paul’s Church.

Blessing them in a brief religious ceremony was pastor of both churches, Rev. John J. Large.

Several hundred parishioners from both churches wheeled the statues, accepting dollar bills from parade watchers and affixed them to the saint which the donors chose.

The statues included the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph St. Francis of Assisi, St. John Neumann, St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi, St. Rocco, St. Therese, St. Lucy, Padre Pio, San Salvador, St. Jude, St. Anthony of Padua, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and San Gennaro. T. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi is designated as the national home church for all Italians and the Festival of Saints drew former parishioners from around the city as well as New Jersey.

VINNY CATELLO, of nearby St. Maron’s Church, carried picture of his favorite Saint, Lebanese nun Rafka, below.

LATINO Catholics gathered in their native costumes to lead statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Crescenz gave his life when – according to his Medal of Honor citation – he, “left the relative safety of his own position, seized a nearby machine gun and, with complete disregard for his safety, charged 100 meters up a slope toward the enemy’s bunkers which he effectively silenced ... As a direct result of his heroic actions, his company was able to maneuver freely with minimal danger and to complete its mission, defeating the enemy.”

Then there is PFC Ross McGinnis of Knox in Clarion County. Ross threw himself on a grenade in Iraq in 2006.

He saved the lives of four of his fellow soldiers and friends.

He was 19.

Each of us owes a debt of gratitude to the veterans and heroes – like Sherry Hallman, Mike Crescenz and Ross McGinnis. It is a debt of gratitude we can never repay.

Part of honoring our veterans and acknowledging our gratitude is our obligation to, as Abraham Lincoln said, “… care for him who shall have (Cont. Page 26)

They are the heirs of a heroic history. Brave Americans – including many Pennsylvanians – have sacrificed their lives and put themselves in harm’s way so our country and our families can live in peace and security.

As much or more than any other state, Pennsylvania has been the backdrop for critical moments in American history – Fort Necessity, Valley Forge, the Battle of Lake Erie, Gettysburg. And let us never forget the heroes of Flight 93, who sacrificed their lives, enabling other Americans to live.

Our state is the birthplace of heroes; it is the final resting place of heroes.

Pennsylvania has produced some of the greatest examples of courage, fortitude, and heroism in the history of mankind.

Our country and the world are safer and freer because of them.

Sherwood Hallman of Spring City in Chester County landed on Omaha Beach on DDay. On Jun. 7, 1944, “Sherry” as he was known, was injured but returned to his company about two and a half weeks later.

That September in Brittany, France, Sherry told his men to give him covering fire, and then leapt a hedgerow and advanced alone returning enemy fire and throwing grenades.

After running out of ammunition, he ordered the Germans to surrender, threatening them with an empty M1 carbine. The next day, Hallman was shot and killed by a sniper.

by U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey The town of Boalsburg, Pa. is in Centre County and has a population of fewer than 4,000. It sits in a beautiful valley in the shadow of Mt. Nittany.

Boalsburg claims to be the birthplace of Memorial Day – as do about two dozen other towns across our country.

Having visited and met with the people of Boalsburg, I know they are right. Legend and scholarship tell us that in the fall of 1864, three local women visited the cemetery to lay flowers on the graves of a father and son who had died in the Civil War. As the women left, they agreed to return the next year to remember not only their loved ones, but others.

The following Jul. 4, friends accompanied them.

Prayers were offered. Graves were tended. No headstone was left unadorned. Their tradition continued. And in 1868, May 30 was declared Decoration Day across the country.

But it wasn’t until 1971 that the US officially celebrated Memorial Day on the last Monday in May. The three Boalsburg ladies are the mothers of a rich American tradition and fitting tribute to those who gave their lives in defense of our country. This year, we will celebrate Memorial Day on May 25.

That tradition of remembrance still exists in the community today, as Boalsburg is home to the Pennsylvania Military Museum that honors all the Pennsylvanians who have fought in every one of our nation’s wars.

On Memorial Day – really every day – it is also appropriate to honor and thank the men and women who fight today to defend our freedom and our way of life.

united behind him. But Tony could not gain a foothold across the Schuylkill in North Philadelphia, whose dominant factions look back to different founders: Bill Gray, John Anderson and the Streets.

Crucial to Kenney’s victory was the alliance his campaign early cultivated with North Philly powerbrokers, in particular the group centered on 9th Dist. Councilwoman Marian Tasco and State Rep. Dwight Evans (D-N. Phila.) Eight years ago, this group put forward one of their own, Evans, for Mayor; he came in fifth out of five in 2007, losing to West Philadelphia’s Michael Nutter. Now North and Northwest Philadelphian politicos can expect improved access to the Mayor’s Office with Kenney in it, even though he personally comes from South Philadelphia.

Besides Fattah, Williams drew support from colleagues

State Sens. Shirley Kitchen (DN. Phila.) and Larry Farnese (D-S. Phila.) But Kenney left City Council respected by most of his peers and most of them will likely look forward to dealing with him as Mayor.

Williams did pick off endorsements from 2nd Dist.

Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, 3rd Dist. Councilman Jannie Blackwell, 4th Dist. Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. and 7th Dist. Councilwoman Maria Quiñones

Sánchez. But he couldn’t crack the core of North Philadelphia, where he needed loyalty from Black voters that just wasn’t there. In the end, Council President Darrell Clarke of the 4th Dist. and Councilwoman Cindy Bass of the 8th Dist. went with their former colleague, and theirs are voices that matter. Although Bass comes out of the Fattah organization, she joined Kenney’s North-Northwest coalition.

by Tony West In the Philadelphia Democratic mayoral primary, North Philadelphia beat West Philadelphia and City Hall beat Capitol Hill.

Jim Kenney, who quit City Council in January after 22 years of service at large, used an extensive network of citywide connections to put together a resounding win over the initial frontrunner, State Sen. Tony Williams (D-W. Phila.) Williams entered the race with a peerless war chest, leisure to run (he did not have to resign his Senate seat) and a powerful reputation he had inherited from his father and predecessor in office Hardy Williams, one of the leaders of the city’s civil-rights movement.

“Williams” was a name to conjure with – but only in West Philadelphia. All the other leading West Philly political clans, the Fattahs and the Blackwells,

fice in town because he could.

Several advisors who helped launch Kenney’s campaign put critical planning into this strategy. One who can be cited is Henry Nicholas, president of the hospital union NUUHCE 1199C. He embraced Kenney as a former member of his own union and played a key role in deploying the net that snared North Philly for Kenney. But other leaders were involved as well. Expect them to step forward now – some noisily, some quietly – to claim their due for their causes and their turf.

Page 9

West Vs. North: Who Will Rule?

Another protégé of Fattah, State Sen. Vincent Hughes, joined that group.

Kenney fought Williams to a draw in Philadelphia’s two biggest African American regions. Williams took most West-Southwest Philly wards while Kenney took most North-Northwest wards. That left no path to victory in other wards for Williams in this race.

In the end, Williams could not walk N. Broad Street with a top local municipal politician. Kenney became first in line for the top municipal of-

What A Well-Oiled Machine!

by Joe Shaheeli It was obvious as the returns rolled in Tuesday night, money talks, and it did so loudly drowning out the voices of those who thought they were in a campaign.

Rolling in clover were MayorElect Jim Kenney and Councilmen at Large-Elect Allan Domb, Derek Green, Bill Greenlee and Councilwomen at Large-Elect Blondell Reynolds Brown and Helen Gym. Statewide it was Supreme Court Democratic nominee Kevin Dougherty.

Blessed in the past with a good ballot position, Greenlee had to overcome a bad ballot position this year, which he did. His unfailing appearances throughout his tenure at events across the city and his close friendship with Council President Darrell Clarke bore fruit for him.

2nd Dist. Councilman Kenyatta Johnson put a lock on his seat, easily kicking back a serious effort by challenger Ori Feibush. Doing him in was the intensive effort to support Williams in the 36th Ward, making it easier for Johnson who was on the endorsed ticket.

In the 7th Dist., Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez bested the best thrown at her from a united and determined group of Latino ward leaders backing Manny Morales. Though she won, it was too close for her to close for her to relax. She needs to make peace with the group. If she does, she locks up her set. If she doesn’t, she will face another term of discontent and continuing challenges to her incumbency.

Councilman Ed Neilson saw the problem besetting his effort to return to Council when he toured polling places to discover no ballots were being handed out. With the election of State Rep. John Sabatina, Jr., he could well be

returning to his old legislative seat, but possibly with some opposition. Councilman Wilson Goode has an impressive résumé, which can serve him well if he decides he has had enough as a public servant.

Allan Domb ran a strong media campaign. He becomes the first fulltime businessman to become a Councilman in almost a score of years. Helen Gym will need to expand her vista past education issues when she runs for reelection, though it was the support she garnered as a public-school advocate that brought her in.

Derek Green will carry the banner of Councilwoman Marian Tasco, having being tutored by her. He knows the ropes in City Council as well as any incumbent.

We thought we were wise with our last week’s frontpage headline “Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer”. We should have added “….Is Williams campaign.” Kudos to John Dougherty who put the Ken Trujillo campaign team into Kenney’s lap as an inducement to get him to run.

Doc’s a big winner, with his only casualty Ed Neilson.

Rep. Sabatina, Now A Senator Democrat John Sabatina, Jr. was announced the winner early in the special election for State Senate in the 5th Senatorial Dist. to replace Lt. Gov. Mike Stack.

Sabatina stated, “I would like to thank my family for all of their love and support. I want to especially thank my wife Eileen and daughter Caroline for their love and support. Without them by my side, this victory would not have been possible.”

The Senator- also discussed his legislative priorities. He stated, “As your State Senator, I will fight for Philadelphia’s families by leading the charge to raise the minimum wage, fighting to fully fund our schools,

and continue to protect our seniors.”

Sabatina continued, “To all the volunteers and members of organized labor who supported me during this race, thank you for dedicating your time and hard work. To the people of the 174th Legislative Dist., it has been an honor to serve you as your State Representative and I look forward to continue serving you as your State Senator.”

What happens now to his vacating seat is anybody’s guess.

Republicans Back At-Large Incumbents A hotly contested, do-ordie struggle between seven Republicans for five slots on the City Council at Large ballot ended with the two incumbent Republicans, David Oh and Denny O’Brien in the onetwo position on the fall ballot.

There had been much talk of discontent that these incumbents were insufficiently in tune with Republican policies and ideas. Evidently that discontent did not include the Republican voters of this city.

Among the challengers, Center City businessman Terry Tracy finished a strong third. Northeast activists Dan Tinney and Al Taubenberger came in fourth and fifth respectively.

Educator-coach James Williams and West Philadelphia Ward Leader Matt Wolfe wound up out of the running.

Although Wolfe drew positive endorsements and a lot of press attention, his numberseven ballot position proved fatal.

Both State Party Chairmen Laud Slate “The Democratic Party has chosen its candidates,” said Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Jim Burn. “Our members are ready to support our candidates in full force this November.

Philadelphia - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in

terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal

with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-805-5106 and enter 1003 . You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Veterans Economic Communities Initiative includes a VA Economic Liaison in each community who will expand and encourage collaboration among private and public organizations that offer resources related to education, training and employment. Through strategic partnerships, and by offering Veterans innovative forms of learning and employment opportunities, these communities will help Veterans gain competitive career skills and knowledge in locally in-demand fields.

Campaign partners include the Depts. of Defense and Labor, the Small Business Administration and the US Chamber of Commerce, in addition to regional and national nonprofits, businesses and educators. The first 25 communities were chosen based on local veteran unemployment rates, veteran population and the projected increase in veteran population.

Sunoco Salutes War II Civil Air Patrol Veterans Sunoco, Inc. and Sunoco Logistics honored Civil Air Patrol veterans from the Philadelphia area with replica Congressional Gold Medals for their service during World War II. The event at Sunoco Logistics’ Marcus Hook Industrial Complex included a wreath-laying ceremony at the Seamen’s Memorial, which features a bronze statue, dedicated in 1949, of a Sun Oil seaman looking out to sea. The memorial was erected in remembrance of the 141 Sun Oil mariners killed in World War II. The Congressional Gold Medals were presented at a luncheon immediately following the wreath-laying ceremony.

CAP was awarded the

Congressional Gold Medal – the nation’s highest civilian honor – on Dec. 10, 2014, at the US Capitol. The award recognizes the service of the organization’s founding members in protecting the homeland, especially oil tankers and their crews, against deadly U-boat attacks, and its success in fulfilling a long list of other wartime needs.

Among those honored was one of Sun Oil’s very own, the late William D. Mason.

He was a Sun Oil executive and Civil Air Patrol member, who was a driving force behind establishment and funding of the first CAP coastal patrol missions along the Eastern Seaboard.

Other CAP members recog-

Logistics President and CEO Michael J. Hennigan.

“It is our privilege to salute these men and women who risked their lives to protect the homeland while ensuring critical petroleum shipments were delivered to Allied Forces,” said Robert W. Owens, president and CEO of Sunoco.

Sunoco Logistics and Sunoco, Inc., both headquartered in Philadelphia, each traces its roots to Sun Oil, founded in 1886 in Lima, Ohio.

Mason oversaw Sun’s Marcus Hook refinery for 16 years and in wartime directed the Petroleum Administration for War’s Facility Security Division.

As a member of the newly created organization of civilian fliers desperate to do something to help with the war,

Mason convinced his boss, Sun Oil President J. Howard Pew, to contribute the first $10,000 to build CAP bases in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

CAP’s anti-sub mission was set in motion, and other oil companies joined in to fund the effort. CAP’s rapid success in preventing oil tanker attacks allowed the bases to spread from Maine to Mexico.

“Those of us in Civil Air Patrol salute these very special members, who laid the foundation for our organization,” said CAP National Commander Maj. Gen. Joe Vazquez. “We also salute the Sunoco workers who are honored with this Sun Seamen’s Memorial. We can all be proud – and grateful – for their work and sacrifice.”

VA Med Center Named After Medal Of Honor Winner

by Michael A. Cibik, Esq American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: How to value personal property on your bankruptcy schedules.

Answer: Anyone filing bankruptcy must value their personal property on their schedules, including their clothing, furniture, books and pictures, and other assorted knickknacks. Schedule “B” has categories for all these things and everyone has them, so everyone must list and value them.

But how do you do this? We get many calls from people flummoxed by the concept of having to put a value on their personal items. Actually, it’s quite simple in the vast majority of cases to value your personal property on your bankruptcy schedules. Here’s what you do.

You do not typically have to itemize personal property items within a category such as clothing or furniture. We will usually put “Miscellaneous items, no item worth more than $450” on Schedule “B” unless there is an unusually valuable individual item.

However, whether property in a category is listed collectively or not, it must be fairly valued.

What value to use? The correct measure of value is “current market value.” This is what a buyer would pay now for the item at its present age and condition. Consequently, what you bought your shirt for at Casual Male in the ’90s is irrelevant; what matters is what someone would pay for it now in its used condition.

As you might imagine, for many personal items, the current market value is quite low, so usually a common-sense, good-faith estimate that you pull out of thin air will be just fine. However, in case of doubt, browsing eBay will usually help guide your estimations.

The key is to be honest and value property in good faith. If you do this, you’ll be fine.

Chapter 7 trustees have no real interest in the standard personal effects that most people have.

Next Week’s Question: How to get your Chapter 13 discharge court order.

by John J. Kline The Philadelphia VA Medical Center has been named “Cpl. Michael J. Crescenz Veterans Affairs Medical Center.”

The name change came in ceremonies at the facility to honor the memory of U.S. Army Corporal Michael J. Crescenz, the only Philadelphia native veteran during the Vietnam War to receive the Metal of Honor. Michael was killed in action on Nov. 20, 1968, while charging and destroying multiple North Vietnamese machine-gun bunkers during an ambush.

The event at the Medical Center was well attended including Michael’s Battalion Commander, Squad Leader and members of his Platoon. The Honorable Ronald D. Castille, former Chief Justice of Pennsylvania and Marine Vietnam Veteran was Master of Ceremonies.

Congressmen Chaka Fattah and Bob Brady were instrumental in leading the Pennsylvania House of Representatives delegation while US Sens. Pat Toomey and Bob Casey did the same in the Senate, getting Public Law 113-230 passed and signed by President Barack Obama on Dec. 16, 2014 and the Medical Center officially renamed on May 2.

Did you ever wonder: If walking is good for your health, shouldn’t the postman would be immortal? A whale swims all day, mainly eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while a tortoise doesn’t run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And you tell me to exercise? I don’t think so.

Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I’m older, here’s what I’ve discovered: 1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats are now enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.

3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.

4. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.

The annual fundraiser for Self Help movement was held at Knowlton Mansion last week. Self-help has come a long way in the years since it was founded by DR. JOE RUGGIERO on the old Byberry Hospital property. Since then, Self Help has become a premier recovery program for those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

Its CEO BOB DELLAVELLA presided over the award ceremony. Dellavella is also the Democratic 55th Ward Leader. So it was no coincidence that a number of citywide elected officials attended the charity event.

Among them were former MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE FAYE STACK, JUDGES DAN McCAFFERY and VINCE MELCHIORRE, STATE REP. and State Senate candidate JOHN SABATINA, and STATE REP. MIKE DRISCOLL. Also on hand was former City Commissioner candidate DONNA DeROSE and her friend the lovely LISA SABATINA, as well as WARD LEADERS BILL DOLBOW and JOHN SABATINA, SR. Dellavella honored STATE REP. GENE DiGIROLAMO with the service award and LT. GOV. MIKE STACK with the humanitarian award. DEB BECK, who is the executive director for a drug and alcohol addiction-treatment program trade group, was recognized for her outstanding service. Teamsters 830 Local PRESIDENT DAN GRACE hobnobbed with businessman CHARLIE GRUFFY and his wife MARIANNE. Word on the street is that Local 19 head GARY MASINO will run for the State House seat currently held by JOHN SABATINA. But this is contingent on Sabatina’s successful election to the State Senate.

The FOP policemen’s memorial took place recently in Harrisburg. STATE SENS. JOHN RAFFERTY and JAY COSTA were joined by Lt. Gov. Stack to honor the fallen officers and their families. Also in attendance were GOV. TOM WOLF, AUDITOR GENERAL GENE DePASQUALE, STATE FOP PRESIDENT LES NERI and State Rep. Mike Driscoll.

Thank God that’s over!

That’s what I found myself saying at 10 p.m. on Tuesday night as I finished my last bit of election-night stuff and got ready to go home.

I was working with the folks at 900AM WURD on election night and my assignment was to cover former City Councilman Jim Kenney’s headquarters.

Kenney won the six-way Democratic primary and will run against Republican Melissa Murray Bailey in November. The margin he held over his nearest challenger, State Sen. Anthony Williams, was substantial.

(He may also be facing former Councilman Bill Green for the office, who is considering a run as an independent … and cake will become Philadelphia’s official food if Green wins.

Google “Marie Antoinette”.)

So the room at the Vie ballroom in North Philadelphia was pretty happy. Heck, former 1199C President Henry Nicholas even danced.

I guess it was a good night for Jim Kenney’s fans at least.

But getting here was unkind to the thinking voter. It became a race where everything became an issue … and the issues themselves became buzzwords.

As for the unthinking voter … three-quarters on them didn’t even show up at their polling station, to have a smidgen of a say in who would run the city they live in, depend on – and frequently complain about. Go figure.

I’m a little worn out and I may not be capable of expressing myself clearly this morning, I’ll have a true post mortem on the primary next week.

Suffice it to say, though, that while this election changed many things, some fairly important things remained the same.

The Public Record • May 21, 2015

Tuesday was Primary Day in Philadelphia and voters from both parties sent a series of mixed messages.

On the Democratic side, JIM KENNEY won by a large margin over his opponents. It appeared to be a battle at the end between the two best-funded candidates – Kenney and STATE SEN. TONY WILLIAMS. Kenney trounced Williams.

Kenney, who has been City Council for two decades, has voted for and/or sponsored almost every job-killing bill that has come out of that chamber. It is my understanding he was in favor of the sale of the Philadelphia Gas Works to UIL Corp. but remained silent when CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT DARRELL CLARKE and other fellow City Councilmen and Councilwomen killed the deal. He was once in favor of school choice and is now in favor of the status quo. His plan to improve education in Philadelphia is to throw more money at a failed system that is more focused on the wellbeing of the teachers’ union than on the children. Kenney is probably our next Mayor.

The Republican candidate MELISSA MURRAY-BAILEY is an impressive, articulate woman, but would face an uphill battle against any Democrat, let alone one as well funded as Kenney. Democratic voters had chosen a reformer in MICHAEL NUTTER eight years ago.

This year they chose the status quo. Nutter, who tried at times to make the city better, was stymied by the old-school Democrats in City Council. Perhaps the electorate decided, why bother?

In the Democratic Council, only two of the five party endorsed candidates won. They reelected BLONDELL REYNOLDS BROWN, who has serious ethics problems, and WILLIAM GREENLEE, who like Kenney is a standard-bearer of job-killing policies. He was the architect of the recent paid sick-leave bill. Whether or not you think paid-sick leave is a good idea, policies like that should be addressed at national or state levels. Philadelphia-only laws like paid sick-leave chase jobs across the city line.

The top vote-getter was DEREK GREEN, who, while not an incumbent, might as well be. Most of his career has been spent working for retiring District COUNCILWOMAN MARIAN TASCO. (Cont. Page 27)

City Commission Chair Anthony Clark put a firm end to rumors of revolt with a crushing 74,681 votes, easily outpacing his five rivals for two seats on the Democratic City Commissioner ballot. His endorsed ticket-mate Lisa Deeley, indefatigably pushed by her mother former Sheriff Barb Deeley, came in almost 10,000 votes ahead of her closest competitor, Ward Leader Carol Jenkins, who scored impressively despite weak funding and organization support. Top-drawer endorsements and quiet backing in some wards helped Jenkins.

Omar Sabir, an aide to State Sen. Vincent Hughes (D-W. Phila.) who is part of the Laborers’ Union’s political elite, came in fourth. Young and energetic, he is well known and undoubtedly has a bright future in some other political race in the near future.

Another Opinion (Cont. From Page 7) borne the battle…”

Since joining the Senate, taking care of veterans has been one of my top priorities.

I’ve supported legislation to boost funding for the VA, hold VA officials more accountable, and give veterans more health care choices. I’ve helped enact legislation that encourages employers to hire veterans. And this month, Sen. Bob Casey and I introduced bipartisan legislation to help reduce the VA disability

claims backlog.

I will continue fighting for veterans and advocating for commonsense ways to improve how we take care of them. It’s the least we can do to show our appreciation for their service.

Memorial Day is coming up soon. Enjoy the time with your family but please remember what the holiday is all about – those who fought and died for our freedom. May God bless our veterans who gave the “last full measure of devotion,” the troops that protect us today, their families, and may God bless the United States of America.

However, I am not sure how effective party endorsements were on Tuesday.

Wolfe was one of two endorsed by the leadership of the 66th Ward which has the

(Cont. From Page 15) The number-three vote-getter was real-estate developer ALLAN DOMB. Domb was the highlight of the day for me.

I believe he truly wants to reform city government. Domb does not need this job. He is a wealthy self-made businessman. Unfortunately, he will not be joined by real-estate developer ORI FEIBUSH, who ran in the primary against District COUNCILMAN KENYATTA JOHNSON. Feibush, like Domb, ran because he was feed up with the anti-business policies coming out of City Hall.

Community activist HELEN GYM beat out incumbents WILSON GOODE, JR. and ED NEILSON as well as party-endorsed SHERRIE COHEN. Gym is portrayed as a reform candidate. However, I am not sure how effective she will be.

Her stump speeches are full of ideas that appeal to the party’s liberal base, but included no concrete ways to reach these goals.

The only real race on the Republican side was for Council at Large. The top two vote-getters were the incum-

bents DAVID OH and DENNY O’BRIEN, both of whom had tepid ward-leader support. Both had been criticized by some of their rivals for getting along too well with the Democrats in Council.

The two candidates who represented the clearest alternative to the Democrats were TERRY TRACY and MATT WOLFE. Wolfe, who received the top endorsements from the two large newspapers in Philadelphia, finished out of the money owing in large part to his poor ballot position. The Republican City Committee had decided not to endorse in this race. Wolfe probably would have been endorsed by

The Kerry T. Pacifico Foundation this week presented $122,000 in college scholarships to 93 graduating seniors from 23 schools in the School District of Philadelphia, Chester Upland School District, Lower Merion School, Universal Audenried Charter HS and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. It also donated $15,000 to Philadelphia elementary schools.

“We hope these scholarships help the bright, young men and women in the Philadelphia area who received them as they embark on their college careers,” said Kerry Pacifico. “Each of these scholarship recipients is a high achieving student, well regarded by his or her peers and teachers. We wish them luck and a prosperous future.”

Each student received at least $1,000 to help with postsecondary tuition.

The schools’ administrators selected recipients based on academic performance, financial need and career ambition.

The 93 students represented the following schools: Academy at Palumbo, Chester Upland School District, Girard Academic Music Program, Horace Howard Furness HS, John Bartram
