Veteran’s Day Mass Passyunk Ave. Revitalization Corp’s Gives Honors To Vets Exec. Dir. Sam Sherman Moving On
A PEW in St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi church has been dedicated to all the service men and women. Bottom right, placard dedicating a pew to veterans of foreign wars. Above right, veterans from every Photos by Maria Merlino war were honored. by Maria Merlino St. Paul and St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi Parish observed Veterans Day with a special mass honoring all the past and present service men and women of our country on Sunday, Nov. 8. There was also a blessing of the MIA/POW Medallion Display that is in the reserved pew in the front of the church. The Veterans Day Mass was followed by a re-
ception in the Columbus House. Gino Fausto, who is a volunteer at the parish and also a National Guardsman, talked about his uncle, Fortunato “John” Fausto. “He was in a great battle in the Philippines during WWII. He was wounded but courageously fought on and never quit. He was given four medals, two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star for valor.” (Cont. Page 2)
Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp. announced this week Exec. Dir. Sam Sherman has chosen to pursue new opportunities after five years leading the community development and service organization. Sherman will stay with the organization until Jun. 30, 2016 in order to oversee the completion of several redevelopment and public improvement projects in the pipeline and to help guide the transition to a new executive director. “We will start a formal search process in December. Sam will remain in place through the first half of 2016, so the organization has time for a thoughtful search process and smooth transition,” said Paul R. Levy, chair of the PARC Board of Directors. “Sam has played a vital role in taking an organization that was on the verge of dissolution and transforming it into a major component of the continued revival of E. Passyunk Avenue and the neighborhoods that surround it,” said Levy. “His tireless efforts have made PARC a national model for how a nonprofit community development corporation can support commercial-corridor revitalization while using the proceeds from
strategic real estate holdings and investments to fund cleaning, landscaping and other community benefits for surrounding residential areas.” In December 2009, Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pelligrini appointed Levy as interim conservator of the former Citizens Alliance to make recommendations about its future. On Sep. 10, 2010, Judge Pelligrini approved a new name, Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp. (PARC); a new board structure that included both neighborhood residents and real-estate professionals; and a new, more- focused

St. Mary’s Honors Vets Point Breeze Movin’ On Up
(Cont. From Page 1) South Philadelphia’s singing sensation Felicia Punzo was also in attendance. “This is the church that I love! It’s so beautiful and the parishioners sing!” she said. Her uncles, Tom Sestito, Sr. and his son Tom, Jr. were in Korea.
“I spent two years in the Navy during the Korean War. It wasn’t fun but the job had to get done,” said the elder Sestito. His son is very proud of him. Veterans Day is a reminder that freedom isn’t free. It bought with the blood, sweat, tears and souls of our valiant military personnel.
Point Breeze has seen an incredible amount of development in the last several years. As a result of this development activity, we've seen entire blocks transformed, like the 1300 block of Chadwick Street or the 2000 block of Annin Street. Until very recently, both of these blocks were dominated by large stretches of vacant land. Today, new homes have filled in almost all of the vacancies. But still some blocks have a ton of vacant land. Take, for VACANT LOTS on the south side of the block.

Pa. House Races Start Brewing In Philly; by Joe Shaheeli Center City’s 182nd Legislative Dist. is now the center of an intriguing upheaval in a State House seat that turned over dramatically three years ago, when Brian Sims knocked off 28-year veteran State Rep. Babette Josephs as he ran to become the first openly gay legislator in Pennsylvania history. This week, two candidates emerged to seek Sims’ job in the May 2016 Democratic primary. Marni Snyder is a criminaldefense attorney with additional deep background in educational and disability law. She formerly worked for the illustrious Judge Carolyn Engel Temin, now retired, who co-authored the Pennsylvania Benchbook for Criminal Proceedings. Her launch party was Nov. 9 at the Ethical Humanist Society. She is well known in the Center City legal community. The next night it was Marisa Piccarreto’s turn at
1518 Sansom Street. Piccarreto, who is active in Logan Square community groups, runs a small business providing maternity services. A mother with three young children, she, like incumbent Sims, is a member of the LGBT community. Both women stress education and children’s needs in their campaigns; both vow to fight for a fairer and less-punitive criminal-justice system. Both women’s events were well attended. The 182nd takes in Center City west of Broad Street, plus the Gayborhood and the Bella Vista section of South Philadelphia. It has the highest concentration of LGBT residents in Pennsylvania – as well as the most affluent highrises, where traditional grassroots door-knocking is harder than rock-climbing in practice. Sims has drawn national attention for his 2012 victory. A vigorous spokesman for LGBT causes, he quickly

plunged into statewide politics when he backed a losing insurgent for a Pittsburgh State Rep seat in 2014 even as he fended off Josephs in a rematch. Sims has announced he will seek the nomination for the 2nd Congressional Dist., now held by Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-Phila.), in the 2016. He did not respond to repeated inquiries as to whether he intends also to stand for reelection to the State House of Representatives. Asked what each could bring to the job that their district isn’t getting now, Piccarreto said, “You can’t always focus just on your own agenda in politics. You have to build alliances and work with other people to get things done. This is a skill I bring to the table.” “The 182nd Dist. deserves a full-time Representative who’s willing and able to put Philadelphia first,” said Snyder. Other State House races started to pop up across the city. In the 200th Dist. of Chestnut Hill and Mount Airy, State Rep. Cherelle Parker (D-Northwest) will be moving into City Council in the New Year, leaving a tempting office in Harrisburg empty. Democrats in the politically active, high-turnout Northwest are starting to Councilman

knock on this door. First out is Chris Rabb, a writer and consultant who teaches at Temple University’s Fox School of Business, who launched at Alma Mater Nov. 10. He earned a Yale bachelor’s and a Penn master’s. One of the more-promising races for Republicans coming up in 2016 is Jim Pio’s run for State Representative in the 172nd Dist. in Northeast Philly and Montgomery County. Although Jim is a challenger rather than an incumbent, this could be a winnable seat for any Republican. The seat was held for several decades by Republican John Perzel. While it has a Democratic registration edge, that margin is one of the smallest in the city. Its incumbent State Rep. Kevin Boyle (D-Northeast) is a hard worker, but may be distracted by a potential challenge to State Sen. John Sabatina, Jr. (D-Northeast). Regardless of these circumstances, Jim Pio is a great candidate. He is young and engaging. He is already running a boots-on-the-ground campaign. Republican 66th Ward Leader Eddie Stine announced on Facebook he is running for State Rep in the 173rd Dist. against incumbent State Rep. Mike Driscoll (D-Northeast). His telephone is not accepting calls. Immediately afterward, he announced he was stepping down as ward leader.

cumbent State Rep. Margo Davidson (D-Delaware). Davidson drew severe opposition from the teachers’ union in the 2014 cycle because of her support for school vouchers. Coles’ early entry into the race indicates public-school supporters have neither forgiven nor forgotten.
McGinty Adds Support For US Senate Campaign Katie McGinty has secured yet another labor endorsement. The United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 1776 is backing McGinty’s campaign for US Senate. “Katie is the candidate running for US Senate that stands out when it comes to understanding and addressing the needs of hard-working people,” said Local 1776 leader Wendell Young. “She has played an important role in Gov. Wolf’s Administration and will bring significant knowledge and experience to the US Senate. Katie stands with us shoulder to shoulder on important issues like increasing the minimum wage and protecting the right of workers to join a union.” Local 1776 represents 21,000 workers throughout the Philadelphia area. “I am honored to have the support of UFCW Local 1776,” McGinty said. “My top priority will be fighting for policies like increasing the minimum wage and expanding access to affordable education and job training.

Rep. Driscoll continues to widen the support he already has in his legislative district, opening offices and making sure constituents can reach him. Ross Feinberg, who recently challenged Register of Wills Ron Donatucci, will soon be making a public announcement for the 174th Dist. Just across the city line in Delaware County, Upper Darby Township Councilwoman Sekela Coles has announced her campaign for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 164th Legislative Dist. in the Democratic primary. In 2013, Coles became the first African American woman elected to the 7th Dist. in Upper Darby Township Council. For the past two years, she has worked toward building strong, positive relationships with her constituents. After Pennsylvania Gov.-Elect Tom Wolf’s 2014 election, Coles was selected to serve on his Transition Committee as a member of the Drugs & Alcohol Programs team. With a bachelor’s degree in finance & banking from Lincoln University, an MBA from Penn State University and a PhD from Walden University, Coles plans to make increased opportunity and growth for all of the district’s families the focus of her campaign. Coles lives in Upper Darby with her two children who attend Bywood ES and Beverly Hills MS. Coles will be tackling in-

Scott Petri (RBucks) is sponsoring legislation that would require organizations that engage in electioneering and issue advocacy to identify themselves and file campaign-finance reports if their expenditures exceed $1,000. Petri’s bill is modeled after the Delaware Election Disclosure Act of 2013, which requires the disclosure of sources of outside spending, including that by corporations and unions. The act was an outgrowth of the Citizens United case, which in 2008 challenged US campaign-finance laws that had allowed the government to regulate campaign spending. “My legislation would en-

Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason echoed other Republican leaders when he said 16th Dist. Congressman Joe Pitts’ (R-Lancaster) decision not to seek reelection in 2016 would create a vacuum. He stated, “Congressman Joe Pitts is an incredible dean of the huge Pennsylvania Republican delegation. A former teacher, retired Air Force captain and former State Representative, Joe Pitts has dedicated his life to serving his communities, his country, and his world. On behalf of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, I congratulate Congressman Joe Pitts on his storied career.” Pitts has represented the 16th Dist. since 1997, so the question now becomes: With Pitts gone, do the Democrats

Martin is considered to be a possible GOP competitor although he has not made his intentions known. The Democrats, though, already have a candidate in Christina Hartman.
Dems Almost Had Clean Sweep, But For… Election-day results marked by Democratic sweep of statewide judicial contests. In a stunning sweep, Democrats claimed all statewide judicial offices, ending the most-expensive State Supreme Court race in national history and tilting the balance of the sevenseat State Supreme Court for most of the next decade. Additionally, Democrats won statewide races for a seat each on the 15-member Superior Court and the nine-member Commonwealth Court. Republicans may have taken it on the chin statewide, but the GOP was able to retake the 37th State Senatorial Dist. in a special election, increasing the Senate GOP Caucus’ majority to 31 seats with the election of Guy Reschenthaler to the suburban Al-
legheny County district.
Who’s Ahead Nationally, Carson Or Trump? Full disclosure first: John Zogby says he is a pollster first, then a pundit. “The former role is collecting and analyzing data mainly from Zogby Polls. The latter is my role as an older guy who has taught American history and political science for 24 years and has been around a very long time. Sometimes the two roles see things differently,” Zogby explained. With that said, a new Zogby Analytics Poll, conducted among 344 likely Republican primary and caucus voters nationwide, shows developer Donald Trump leading his nearest opponent, neurologist Dr. Ben Carson by 13 points – 30% to 17% — with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in third place at 10%, closely followed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 8% and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 7%. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul shows up with 4% and all other candidates are 2% or below.

Braddock, Pa. Mayor John Fetterman’s senatorial campaign released the first video in a web series that will tell the stories of Braddock. The video, “4Kids,” highlights Genyah and her mom, Shiane. Genyah is a student in Braddock’s early-childhood education program, 4Kids. Each video will highlight a policy or program that has contributed to Braddock’s renewal. “There is a tremendous income gap, and in many cases that income gap predicts that there is going to be a tremendous education gap. But when you have a program like 4Kids that closes that gap, that strikes an important blow against inequality in this country,” said Fetterman. “This shouldn’t be a matter of ideol-
ogy or conservative or liberal. It should be that every child in this country deserves to start out with a basic, equal footing in terms of how they transition to the rest of their academic life, and I really do believe it should be a national standard of what every child in this country deserves as a minimum.”
have a chance at the seat? At first glance the answer would appear to be no. Pitts survived the Democratic wave elections of 2006 and 2008 rather easily (he won by 56.6%-39.6% and 55.8%39.4% margins respectively). Pitts’ lowest percentage came in 2012 when he pulled in 55%. He won’t be on the ballot this time, however, and this Dutch Country district has become more competitive when it comes to presidential elections. After heavily supporting George W. Bush in 2004 (61% to 38%), the 2008 (51% to 48%) and 2012 (52.4% to 46.3%) elections were much closer even with McCain and Romney both prevailing. Both Lancaster and Reading Cities have seen major growth of Hispanics in recent years, along with the Route 1 “Mushroom Corridor” in agricultural Chester County. Pollsters predict a possible Democratic victory for this seat. The 16th Dist. includes parts of Berks, Chester and Lancaster Counties. Lancaster County Commissioner Scott

With the GOP in control of both chambers and looking to get even with high-spending Democrats, even the Governor may have to sign this bill into law if it gets passed by the General Assembly.

Your Honor, Philadelphia is at a turning point: the decisions we make in the next four years will shape the next 40. Fixing our finances, spurring economic development, and strengthening our communities go hand in hand. Indeed, this is a time of great opportunity for Philadelphia to take bold action: • To address the structural deficits in the City’s budget and lay the foundation for a financially healthy and vibrant city • To build our economy – and the jobs, educational attainment, and opportunities of our residents • To find new ways to support communities and help them prosper • To strengthen our competitiveness in the region and in the world. We need to create an economic climate that draws businesses to invest and build here, a system of highperforming neighborhood schools that keep families in the city, and safe, stable communities where residents have access to good jobs and lifelong careers. Success will be measured by asking whether all of our communities are thriving. Together, under your leadership, we will bring our city to new heights.

It was obvious to political stakeholders and readers of this paper, election turnout would be low. We were surprised when it spiked up to a 26% voter participation. We thought for sure it would go no higher than 23%. We based that assumption on the fact the various signposts we use all alluded to it. Absentee ballots were one of those and the applications to vote that way were low. \There was also the belief most of us shared Jim Kenney was a shoo-in for Mayor. He proved it with a decisive primary win to take the Democratic colors into the general. That belief was underlined during the period between the primary and general election by the many events to which Kenney was invited, staged by prestigious groups representing business, labor, and education. He was their keynote attraction. The voting public saw those activities reported in print and on television. So, what is a normal Philadelphia voter to do? Especially the vast majority who do not make it a point to vote in every election unless dutifully reminded with a knock on the door or the ringing of the doorbell or a telephone call they should do so “before 8 p.m.” We say all this because we are surprised Mayor Michael Nutter saw fit to blame the County Commissioners for the poor turnout. He should have praised them for their efforts in making well over 1,860 polling places open and staffed. Machine malfunctions were at a historic minimal low. Confusion at the polls created by both major party committee people fighting over minority inspectors was also minimal. In addition, the returns were quickly retrieved and reported dutifully to the public in real time on the Commissioners website. In the period between the primary and general elections, the board reset all the machines, staying abreast of any ballot changes. It conducted classes for the election-board members of every election precinct. It offered voting machines readily to community groups who wanted to educate their followers on how to properly record their votes. People going to the registration division never walked away without having questions. Candidates loved the reception they received and the freely given information they needed. So the Mayor’s blaming them for not doing more to make voters do what they should does not make any sense. He is a ward leader and he knows good committee people bring out their voters in substantial numbers, regardless of an election’s dullness and in the most inclement of weathers. When a division’s turnout is poor, blame the committee people’s ward leader who should have canvassed each of his or divisions almost hourly, cracking the whip to increase turnout, and during the day send in other door-knockers to do the job. Mr. Mayor, the blame is with you as a ward leader. How was your ward’s voter turnout and how did it compare with other wards in this city? If the electoral machinery is placed in the hands of the Mayor’s Office as you suggest, this move will destroy one of the finest election operations in this state.

I am almost at the point where I feel sorry for AG KATHLEEN KANE. Almost! Earlier this week a bipartisan Pennsylvania State Senate committee comprised of three Democrats and three Republicans commenced hearings this week on whether Kane should be removed from office. GOV. TOM WOLF has already made it clear he wants her out of office. I believe if the committee decides to recommend Kane’s removal (as it probably will), the full Senate will go along. Being removed under the terms the Senate Committee is looking at, in my opinion, is less harsh than an impeachment. Kane has challenged the authority of this committee to review her. She said the only valid way to remove her is through impeachment. If she is not careful, she may get what she asks for. Good judgment has not been Kane’s strong suit over the past three years. She also this week had to respond to JUDGE JOHN CLELAND, the judge in the Sandusky case, who wanted to know what proof she had that the grand-jury judge on the case had leaked non-public information. When she was asked in person by Cleland to produce the evidence, she said she did not have any proof. The Democrats want the Kane embarrassment gone. While Republicans politically may want her to continue to create problems for the Democrats, many Republicans like me would like to see a functioning AG’s office. Last week it was reported the bad morale in the AG’s office had escalated to revolt. Apparently 1ST DEPUTY ATTORNEY (Cont. Page 25)
The small tribe of us that make up the Philadelphia media is about to get a whole lot smaller, thanks to the Philadelphia Media Network’s decision to lay off 46 people from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com. The layoffs broke down like this: 12 folks were dismissed from the Inquirer, 17 from the Daily News and 17 from Philly.com. The axe was wielded in the name of consolidating the newsrooms, something that almost always means that folks are going to get screwed. I understand that you want to take your double-digit profits from 11% to 20% (I’m guessing), and cutting people, and the salaries and benefits that go with them, makes that happen on some level. But some of these cuts make absolutely no sense at all. For example, among the casualties was the entire Daily News copy desk. While the copy desk is best known for writing those pithy, borderline politically incorrect headlines that make the Daily News the textbook definition of “tabloid”, they also do things like make sure words are spelled right, stories don’t have the kinds of gaping holes in them that lead to their not making any sense, and they keep the typos to a minimum. Since the layoffs were announced, the typo thing is already starting to happen. I don’t know how big of a desk the Inky has, but since it’s being asked to basically edit two newspapers, some stuff is going to get missed. (Cont. Page 25)
Yo! Here we go again with this from Ed. B. Words gone as fast as the buggy whip! Sad, really! The other day, a not-so-elderly lady (65) said something to her son about driving a jalopy and he looked at her quizzically and said, “What the heck is a jalopy?” OMG (new phrase), he never heard of the word jalopy! I hope you are hunky dory after you read this and chuckle. Some of these phrases included: Don’t touch that dial, carbon copy, you sound like a broken record and hung out to dry. Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We’d put on our best bib and tucker and straighten up and fly right. Hubba-hubba! We’d cut a rug in some juke joint and then go necking and petting and smooching and spooning and billing and cooing and pitching woo in hotrods and jalopies in some passion pit or lovers’ lane. Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumping Jehoshaphat! Holy moly! We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley, and even a regular guy couldn’t accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill. Not for all the tea in China! Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when’s the last time anything was swell? “Swell” has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes and pedal pushers. Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here, but he isn’t anymore. Like Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle and Kurt Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim, we have become unstuck in time. We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, “I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!” or “This is a fine kettle of fish!” we discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards. Poof, poof, poof go the words of our youth, the words we’ve left behind. We blink, and they’re gone, like Mickey Mouse wristwatches, hula hoops, skate keys, candy cigarettes, little wax bottles of colored sugar water and an organ-grinder’s monkey. Long time ago: Pshaw. The milkman did it. Think about the starving Armenians. Bigger (Cont. Page 25)
The first-ever Veterans Day parade in Philadelphia was a huge success. CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY was the key backer of the parade and helped bring it to fruition. But the real heroes of the event are the men and women who have served our country so bravely, our veterans. COUNCIL MEMBERS JANNIE BLACKWELL and CURTIS JONES were on the dais along with COUNCIL PRESIDENT DARRELL CLARKE, MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER and LT. GOV. MIKE STACK. Also on hand was incoming Republican COUNCILMAN AL TAUBENBERGER, COUNCILMAN BOB HENON, CONGRESSMAN CHAKA FATTAH and STATE REP. ED NEILSON. Newly elected MAYOR-TO-BE JIM KENNEY watched the parade as a bystander and shook hands with well-wishers. Kenney appeared extremely relaxed as he looks forward to becoming Philadelphia’s next chief executive. JUDGE PAT DUGAN presided over many master-of-ceremonies duties. Dugan is a major in the army reserves. Also on hand was DISTRICT ATTORNEY SETH WILLIAMS, also a major in the National Guard. MASTER SGT. MATT GIACOBBE helped organize many of the parade marchers as did MAJ. HARRY GOBORA. Seen shaking hands and greeting well-wishers was JUDGE KEVIN DOUGHERTY, who will soon be Justice Kevin Dougherty. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in a sweeping Democratic victory this past (Cont. Page 26)
The City’s first-ever VETERAN’S PARADE exceeded all expectations, with thousands of attendees and marchers. Congressman Bob BRADY deserves great credit for obtaining the funding from Gerry LENFEST, whose wise remarks from the parade podium proved brevity is wit.... Erin AVERLAUND was a super parade supporter in her PR work. Judge Pat DUGAN and Vietnam Memorial Prexy Terry WILLIAMSON were top announcers of each unit. While on ABC, Maj. Gens. Wesley CRAIG and Walter LORD narrated. Seamus BONNER is doing God’s work helping our vets as a Disabled American Veterans National Service Officer. BRAVO SIERRA!... The 1st Judicial Dist. came out to support vets. Judges Dan McCAFFERY and Charles ERLICH, and Sonte REAVIS, Esq. – THANK YOU.! The General Election results were a SLAP IN THE FACE to Neo-Conservative posts. GOP voters did not vote in huge numbers and many stayed home... In Philly, Judges Ken POWELL, Michael FANNING, Stephanie SAWYER and Abbe FLETMAN powered to victory. JudgesELECT Kai SCOTT, Tracy ROMAN, Mia PEREZ, Lyris YOUNGE, Rainey PAPADEMETRIOU, Scott DiCLAUDIO, Daine GREY and Chris MALLIOS deservedly will join them in Common Pleas Court! GREAT news for Municipal Court is voters elected Sharon LOSIER, Christine HOPE, and Joffie PITTMAN. Anthony CLARK, and Lisa DEELEY worked hard for the City Commissioner post. Bruz Jewell WILLIAMS was rightfully re-elected as Sheriff. While living legend Ron DONATUCCI was heartily returned as Register of Wills, David OH and Al TAUBENBERGER will be assets in City Council for job creation... It is that time of year again, where that push-pin note in some news office is pulled down. It is time to write about one-party domination of Philadelphia AGAIN. The problem is that Democrats do not dominate, but GOVERN. MAGNIFICENT returns news saw the retention judges: Hons. Marsha NEIFIELD, Gerard KOSINSKI, Frank BRADY, Patrick DUGAN, Barbara GILBERT, Charles HAYDEN, Dawn SEGAL, Craig WASHINGTON, Ann BUTCHART, Patricia McINERNEY, Idee FOX, John YOUNG, Gwendolyn BRIGHT, Lillian RANSOM, Matthew CARRAFIELLO, Marlene LACHMAN, Amanda COOPERMAN, Frank PALUMBO, Susan SCHULMAN, Glenn (Cont.

City Council Committee on Public Property & Public Works will hold hearings on Comcast’s proposed 15-year franchise agreement with the City of Philadelphia. The public is invited to voice opinions and suggestions. The agreement will give Comcast access to the public right of ways so it may offer cable-TV services. The City may be asking for the agreement to include discounts for senior citizens, better service, expanded discounted internet, an end to skyrocketing price hikes and a better way to resolve billing disputes. It will also include funding for publicaccess stations and may help fund computer-literacy programs. That’s why the hearings will run today from 5 to 8 p.m. in City Hall Room 400.

you have missed mortgage payments and you know your mortgage lender would not give you the mortgage modification that you thought would help you save your home. Foreclosure has started and you have moved from the home to beat the court marshals from forcibly moving you out. You may have also filed bankruptcy to discharge the obligation of the mortgage debt and avoid the possibility of any deficiency judgment making you responsible for the difference between the value of the home and the debt.
But none of this helps you until the title to the house leaves your name and goes to the bank. That means the foreclosure action has completed and the property has been auctioned or a Surrender of Real Estate in bankruptcy has been recorded on the land records where the property is located. There have been a number of cases where the bank had changed direction after starting a foreclosure and stopped just short of completion. The homeowners never find out about it because they have left the property in anticipation of
the foreclosure. But the bank has decided it has too many houses in inventory, or the home isn’t worth the cost of pursuing it, or there are title problems caused by improper paperwork. With over 5 million foreclosures in the last three years, these things happen. Or in other cases, the homeowners have filed bankruptcy and thought that the bankruptcy discharged somehow. While bankruptcy does discharge the debt, it does not remove the lien from the property or act to transfer title. The consequences of a zom-
bie deed mean you remain responsible for the priority-taxes and homeowner-association charges. You remain responsible for the condition of the property which may cause a nuisance for trash, overgrown vegetation, or vandalism. Worse yet, if someone gets hurt on that property, you could be sued for the injuries; all when you thought it was long gone. In short, do not assume you have taken care of everything by walking away from your home. Next Week’s Question: Can bankruptcy be a new day?

ELEPHANT (Cont. From Page 10) GENERAL BRUCE BEEMER wrote an officewide memo condemning Kane for the inappropriate release of information including leaks of Common Pleas COURT JUDGE BARRY FEUDALE’S emails. Feudale was the grand-jury judge in the Sandusky case she initially accused of leaking information to the press and having inappropriate communications with former AG prosecutor
OUT & ABOUT
FRANK FINA. Beemer’s memorandum was signed by Executive DEPUTY ATTORNEYS GENERAL JAMES A. DONAHUE III, ROBERT A. MULLE and LAWRENCE CHERBA. This memo follows months of rumors of Kane witch-hunts in the office to identify staff who testified against her, spoke to prosecutors or the press. Last Thursday, Committeeman JIM PIO formally announced his campaign to run for State Representative (Dist. 172) at the Austrian Village in
Jenkintown. The district includes parts of Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County. This seat was held for years by former Speaker of the House JOHN PERZEL and is winnable for a Republican. Democrat STATE REP. KEVIN BOYLE currently holds the seat, but it is rumored he intends to run for the Pennsylvania Senate seat held by JOHN SABATINA. Sabatina won a special election in May to this seat formally held by LT. GOV. MIKE STACK. Sabatina did not face a primary, as is common practice in a special election where the candidate is selected by the ward leaders. Boyle and his brother CONGRESSMAN BRENDAN BOYLE are not always loved by their fellow Democrats. If Boyle prevails in the Senate primary, it will be easier for Pio to win. Sabatina may want his old State Rep seat back (Dist.
174), but he has a problem now in that the seat is held by ED NEILSON, who is very popular in the Northeast. Neilson had decided (at the behest of the Democratic Party) not to run for this seat in 2014 and to seek (in a special election) the City Council seat vacated by BILL GREEN. Neilson had been until 2014 the State Rep for Dist. 169, which was then redistricted to York County. After redistricting, he lived in the 174th where Sabatina was the incumbent. As Neilson is now the incumbent, I doubt he will be gracious in the event Sabatina loses the Senate seat. Last week, ROSS FEINBERG informally announced he is seeking the Republican nomination to run for the State House in the 174th. Feinberg was the Republican candidate for Register of Wills on Nov. 3 and unfortunately lost to incumbent Democrat RON DONATUCCI.
half of the staff of your digital product? Don’t answer that. It’ll just make your head hurt. The Newspaper Guild offered to buy the Daily News, a paper whose staff was already so small that I’m surprised that they found 17 people to lay off, from owner Gerry Lenfest, but that offer was met with a resounding no. (I’m starting to think the way that Lenfest treats the Daily News is a bit like how the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania treats the School District of Philadelphia … like a bad fouryear-old who’s found a toy he likes to throw up against the wall, but won’t let anyone else play with.) Right now, there’s a petition going around to get the folks at PMN to reconsider the layoffs (or at the very least selling the Daily News), but I don’t think it’s going to work.

(Cont. From Page 10) The other set of layoffs that made no sense were the ones at Philly.com. One of the things everyone in the news business has been talking about is the impact digital technology has had on newsrooms. You have news organizations making sure their writers can handle a video camera and a tape recorder as well as they can handle a pen and a pad. There are longtime inkstained wretches who circle the dates of the Online News Association convention on their calendars. So, knowing that the business is trending toward digital, and knowing that in order to do digital reporting, you need, well, digital journalists, does it make sense to cut a little over

SUCCESSFUL ELECTION CONSULTANTS included Micah MAHJOUBIAN, Joseph RUSSO, John SABATINA, Sr. and Peter WILSON. I heard nothing on ElectionDay arrests by the DA’s TASK FORCE, so I am again right that party actives are HONEST at work during the 13-hour election day!... And Montgomery County went DEMOCRAT!

Kevin DOUGHERTY, David WECHT, and Christine DONOHUE will restore hope

service and halt up-creep of monthly rates. A SHAME newspaper bosses rejected a request to consider sale of the city’s major tabloid. The Guild and Local 16 could do a better job. We would get more HAPPY NEWS.... Nearby, the DAILY GLOOM AND DOOM stuff about Kathleen Kane continues. The writers do not seem to write for our reading (?). So many are tired of the daily na-na-na-na-na. Do they write to impress? Does someone encourage it? With many of their endorsed candidates not winning – is anyone paying attention, like in years past? In fairness, it cannot be easy to come up with a Kane story each day. Of course, if news is held back to accomplish this, then that would be bad; but eh, maybe not. To help out with Kane stories, I propose headlines: “KANE GETS UP FROM DESK, GETS CUP OF COFFEE – WHY?” Or: “Kane Opens Her Office Door.” Or: “Kane Seen In Supermarket.” Hope these help. As for Chip FATTAH. The stories seem almost an extension of government to me. The Feds trotted out ARMANI SUITS. Ever see how some FED prosecutors dress – it ain’t from Goodwill. How about their coiffured hair? Not from the $6 shop (Maybe $66). And the FED who testified he leaked the raid to the press (golly, does that happen?). Will he be disciplined or sent to SENSITIVITY TRAINING?
