The idea to open a bookstore was one that the newlyweds say came about in an unconventional way. A year ago, her husband suggested it as joke. It took off from there.

Rosso-Schneider gave details of the couple’s background: She is an English teacher, writer and reader, while her husband is a graphic designer. Having those two professions melded perfectly in their eyes into the creation of a one-ofa-kind bookstore.

“We started thinking more about it” said Rosso-Schneider, “and realized it could be something that our neighborhood needs – and also give us an opportunity to put our passions together.”

They rented the space at 1726 E. Passyunk Ave., which last housed Knack Philadelphia, in late August, and have worked tirelessly to manifest their dream. As residents of the popular South Philadelphia neighborhood, the couple knew just where they wanted to set up shop. The newlyweds found the idea of putting a bookstore in the neighborhood, which long has lacked one, an incentive to strike while the iron was hot.

“There was a need for a bookstore here. The closest bookstore is about a mile and a half away in the Italian Market. We have a lot of restaurants here and some great retail but a lot of people have said that’s the one thing we have always wanted, a bookstore, so we just thought it was the perfect location,” Rosso-Schneider explained.

In recent years, Passyunk Avenue has turned itself into one of the city’s top destinations. The amenities available mean that residents almost never have to leave to find something they desire; the addition of A Novel Idea just makes the

OWNERS Alexander Schneider and Christina Rosso-Schneider, of A Novel Idea on Passyunk Avenue.

neighborhood that much more complete.

Rosso-Schneider reported, “On our soft opening date on Dec. 1, we had a line all day. So it was really exciting that the community and our friends and family have really rallied behind us.”

Previously, the shop was open only on Saturdays and Sundays, but the couple said it will now be open Wednesday through Sunday for the holidays.

Rosso-Schneider believes that their bookstore can thrive even in an era of tablets and Amazon, and where reading has almost taken a backseat to other forms of entertainment.

“I think the key to being successful today, especially with Amazon and how easily you can get things online, is to not only carry great titles and get a variety of titles, but also to stand out from other bookstores – we have a dedicated section of local authors and small presses.

We are also going to host a variety of events which we hope will continue to bring people into the shop,” Rosso-Schneider explained.

The future is bright for A Novel Idea as several organizations and businesses – even some in their own backyard – are lining up to collaborate with the bookstore.

“We have several that

are interested in working with us. The one that we have currently have something in the works with is Philly Typewriter and we’re talking about getting a public typewriter in the shop.

We have also been talking to Manatawny Still Works about maybe bringing some drinks for our grand opening in January and we’re hoping to partner with as many of the other local businesses as possible,” Rosso-Schneider said.

The vision for the bookstore is to have the shop reflect the nature of the community and the type of books that residents from there – and across the city – would want to read. Inside the shop are bestsellers, literary fiction, sci-fi and mystery. You’ll also find books on sociology and religion, the occult and feminism.

In a nod to expanding demographics, shoppers will also find no shortage of young adults’ and kids’ books when strolling through the selections in search of literary sustenance. Civic boosters will also love the fact that A Novel Idea stocks books about local events and Philadelphia icons to read more about.

The grand opening will be Jan. 4, which will kick off the shop officially opening six days a week, Tuesdays through Sundays.

Masons Donate 80 Christmas Trees to Needy P r i n c e Hall Mason Calvin Boyce Secures Tree to Roof of Car

M

EMBERS OF The First Masonic District Council of the Prince Hall Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania stood for hours in a chilling rain on Saturday to give away 80 free Christmas trees to different charities and individuals in need.

“This is unbelievable,” said Joislyn Martin, public relations officer for the charitable end of the Wheels of Soul Motorcycle Club. “If they hadn’t provided this tree, there would be none for this particular family we’re helping.” The family, she said, could barely afford toys, and a tree was out of the question until she heard about the Masons distributing the trees for free from the Prince Hall Grand Lodge Headquarters at 4301 North Broad Street.

Two cars away from her, Jasmine Fleming watched anxiously as Mason Ed Hunley mounted a tree atop her car before securing it with ropes.

“I don’t know what to say,” she said. “This was just so nice and I definitely needed the help and appreciate what they have done.

Honestly, I really couldn’t afford a tree because they are so much more expensive this year. I can’t believe

they are doing this.”

Melvin Austin, the newly elected 104th Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Prince Hall Masons, said he, too, was grateful to the First Masonic District Council for their donations of the trees and its “selfless act of kindness.”

“On the other hand, this is simply what we do,” he said. “Prince Hall Masons have been in the business of nurturing, supporting, and helping our community for the past 200 years.”

The trees were distributed throughout the day as masonic volunteers from across the city came to help with the mounting and securing of the trees to the roof of vehicles packed with excited children and even a few elderly individuals.

“This is really who we are and what we are about,” said Mason Keith R. Cuttino. “It’s just what we do.”

Will Crime Emerge As Mayoral Issue?

A Kenney spokesperson stated that “under Mayor Kenney, crime is at a 40year low.” But that’s not accurate. Crime has been picking up in recent years, although it is still much lower than the nightmare 1980s and 1990s.

Republicans will attempt to make hay of this concern in the 2019 municipal elections. DA Larry Krasner has become a polarizing figure whom all Democrats will be hard pressed to disavow in the coming spring. But some Democratic challengers may find coded ways to tap crime concerns in the May primary.

No, we don’t mean the Democratic primary. While observers have been speculating about possible contenders in that race since last spring, and several possibles have done serious exploratory work, no one has said officially he or she is in the race for sure – not even the incumbent, Jim Kenney.

Perhaps Kenney will decide to step down after one term, throwing the election wide open to a happy field of contenders. Perhaps the Eagles will win the Super Bowl again this year.

Still, it costs money to reach its hundreds of thousands of voters. It helps to start early and that is what Ciancaglini has done.

made it official Monday night: He’s running for the nomination.

Ciancaglini, a South Philadelphia defense attorney, has been poking around in electoral politics of late. He ran for Court of Common Pleas judge in 2015.

He has taken strong stands against Kenney’s “sanctuary city” policy on illegal immigration, against supervised injection sites for opioids and against the Sweetened Drinks Tax. All are issues that city Republicans will rally around and that resonate with many Democrats and swing voters as well.

To win the Republican nomination, though, Ciancaglini will likely have to wade through a scrum of other candidates. A useful, if opinionated, rundown of this field is offered by our “Elephant Corner” correspondent (see P. 14).

Because the Republican voter pool is small (only 1/7th of all city voters), broadcast media are prohibitive in that party’s primary.

Fighting Back by Giving Away

largest such giveaway in the nation’s history.

We have reached such a tipping point quickly, as the obituaries, EMT calls and coroners’ reports will grimly attest to. The statistics don’t need to be rehashed here – they have been readily, overwhelmingly available on the page, on the screen, on the street – for far too long.

That is what has made the recent spate of initiatives coming from both Harrisburg and City Hall so heartening. Providing naloxone – which can cost anywhere from $40 a dose for generic to four times that amount for the brand name Narcan – free of cost to citizens who wish to be able to save the life of someone who has overdosed is another positive step, one buttressed by the

demand outstripping the supply. At the Free Library’s McPherson Square branch in Kensington – ground zero for the epidemic in the city – a line had formed for the drug well before staffers had even finished setting up.

No wonder that Department of Health head Dr. Rachel Levine is already planning a new round of giveaways.

But as anyone directly involved in trying to turn this malevolent tide will tell you, providing easier access to naloxone is just one part of the struggle. Warm handoffs – the transfer of care between members of healthcare teams, where the patient is transferred from first responders to treatment facility workers – must become more prevalent. Otherwise, we should get used to regular naloxone giveaways.

plus,” he said.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Stan Saylor (R-York) asserted that IFO’s projected shortfall depends on spending increases that his ruling caucus won’t support.

So who’s in disagreement here?

Normally, odd-numbered years are when hard battles are fought in Harrisburg, because in even-numbered years everyone is running for re-election and doesn’t want a record of voting against anything. But in 2019, we are seeing signs that neither party wants an excruciating fight over spending, given that there may be enough money to satisfy everyone’s wish lists.

If the economy tanks, that could throw these calculations off. But it probably won’t tank soon enough to throw off a budget surplus

Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid.

Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold.

The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County.

The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudu-

lent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine.

The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale.

All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb.phila.gov for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006 NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a Schedule of Distribution Thirty (30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter.

The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions.

The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ.

Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales

conducted by him.

Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia

In response to 32% of Philadelphia’s children living in poverty, organizer Chris Robinson of the Green Party of Philadelphia said, “The Green Party Platform calls for ‘a universal basic income’ (sometimes called a guaranteed income, negative income tax, citizen's income, or citizen dividend). This would go to every adult regardless of health, employment, or marital status, in order to minimize government bureaucracy and intrusiveness into people's lives. The amount should be

That’s 12.5% of the population – 1 in 8 people.

Paul Glover, the Green Party’s candidate for governor in 2018, said, “Poverty is one of Pennsylvania’s major industries. Tens of thousands of jobs – public and private – depend on managing poverty.

The poor – 1,548,720 last year – were raw material to control (evaluate, certify, monitor, police), punish (courts, fines, evictions, prison), and exploit (small pay, big rent, predatory mortgages, payday loans).”

N MONDAY, BILLY CIANCAGLINI, a South Philadelphia attorney and critic of MAYOR JIM KENNEY, officially announced his candidacy for Philadelphia mayor. The announcement ceremony was held at the Irish Pub on Walnut Street.

There are three other rumored Republican candidates for mayor – JOHN FEATHERMAN, DAPHNE GOGGINS and MARK CUMBERLAND. Featherman, a real-estate broker, lost the Republican

You’d be wrong.

Three-hundred and sixteen people won’t be at the Christmas dinner table this year thanks to the city having its highest murder rate since 2007. It’s a rate so high that the folks at City Hall have branded it a public-health issue and are ap-

primary for mayor in 2011.

He previously had a political blog on the Philadelphia Inquirer’s website. He is articulate on the issues, but in previous runs for office he raised little money. He also ran for U.S. Congress in what was then the 1st Congressional District against longtime Democratic CONGRESSMAN and Chairman of Democratic City Committee BOB BRADY. Goggins, the Republican leader of the 16th Ward in North Philadelphia, told another media outlet that she is “thinking very seriously” about seeking the Republican nomination. She has enjoyed national exposure as a guest on CNN supporting PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. Cumberland, a former City Council staffer, is apparently discussing a run with some with advisers and financial people. If he is serious about running for mayor, he may be the

most formidable of the Republican candidates that have arisen so far. He has more political experience, connections and the ability (at least the understanding of how) to raise money.

Cumberland, in addition to working at City Hall, was the Republican leader of the 33rd Ward (parts of Juniata Park and Kensington).

DISTRICT ATTORNEY LARRY KRASNER’S tense relationship with U.S. ATTORNEY WILLIAM McSWAIN has gotten worse – and very publicly this time.

McSwain told the media, “[Krasner] unfortunately seems wholly unconcerned about providing justice to victims. He seems preoccupied with advocating for defendants.”

McSwain accused the DA of “abdicating his responsibility as a prosecutor” by routinely failing to notify or consult victims before making plea agreements.

plying emergency management protocols to it.

So imagine my surprise when I picked up Tuesday’s Daily News and saw a piece from columnist Jenice Armstrong about a grandfather who was protesting the convenience store that sold his 10-year-old grandson a far-too-real-looking toy gun.

When I say it looked far too real, it looked like something that one of the folks that are running around here shooting up their friends and neighbors might use to go hunting the only things firearms like this are designed to hunt.

People.

When 47-year-old Antonio Jardine discovered the toy gun his grandson had been hiding, he saw that the only thing differentiating it from a regular gun was its orange tip. Accompanied by anti-violence activists Anton Moore and Terry Starks, he marched into the bodega where his grandson was able to get this gun for

$3.99.

That’s less than $5.

He was able to talk the store out of selling any more toy guns, which is good. You shouldn’t be able to buy something like that for less than $5.

But that kids are having mock shootouts with guns like this is a manifestation of a deeper problem.

Every morning, I get up, turn on the television news to see what the weather is like outside, and hear stories of people being shot on our city streets. I see cops surrounding the body, the crime scene, and all that comes with it.

If I’m seeing all of this, and feeling dismayed by it, imagine what it’s like to be a kid looking at this. You’re probably scared. Confused.

Not really knowing what to do. Trying to figure out the best way to protect yourself.

Since guns figure in so much of this, even a fake one might give a kid a false (Cont. Page 23)

How about Judge Patrick DUGAN becoming President Judge of MUNICIPAL COURT! A good choice for a very busy court with a veteran leader at the helm.

Will he still sit in Veterans Court? His perspective is valuable there. How can one find words STRONG ENOUGH to thank Judge Marsha NEIFIELD for her service as President Judge?

She steered the court through turbulent seas to a safe harbor!

Mrs. Lenfest is taking over for her recently passed husband JERRY, who was a significant player on the Temple Board of Trustees. Temple recently experienced controversy over bigoted remarks attributed to a professor who is also a CNN commentator.

The professor essentially called for the elimination of the state of Israel during the speech at the UN. The board of trustees condemned the speech officially but called it constitutionally protected free speech.

But did Temple U. make the right call? Hate speech is not constitutionally protected nor is speech that can invoke violence, so it’s difficult to understand how the anti-Semitic anti-Israel remarks of this professor are constitutionally protected.

Many VIPs attended the holiday party of the Justinian Society at the Ben Franklin Hotel. The Ben Franklin Hotel is a classic throwback.

It is the site of the dance contest in the movie Sil-

Charter School Ratifies a Union Teachers and support staff at New Foundations Charter School in Philadelphia have ratified their first contract unanimously.

The teaching staff voted to join the Alliance of Charter School Employees, Local 6056 of the American Federation of Teachers, AFT Pennsylvania, in 2017 to improve working conditions, teacher recruitment and retention, and to give employees a voice in the education of their students, as well as in their professional lives.

“Two years of hard work was worth every second,” said Jim Schmidt, a New Foundations pre-calculus, calculus and engineering teacher. “A great school got even better. With union solidarity, our staff will remain

in place for years to come, benefiting all members of our school community.”

The contract provides retroactive raises for professional employees who worked during the 2017-18 school year. It also provides raises averaging more than $5,700 per professional employee through the end of the 2018-19 school year.

Aides and administrative assistants received 3% increases retroactive to the 2017-18 school year and a 3% increase for the 201819 school year. Professional employees also negotiated a salary scale for new hires.

Existing employees will not pay health care premiums for the life of the agreement. The new contract also establishes fair-share fees, although all existing eligible employees are union mem-

bers.

New Foundations Charter School opened in 2000 in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia and has expanded to include students in kindergarten through 12th grade. With 62 teachers and staff in the union, 100% of employees covered by the new contract signed cards to join the union.

“The process of organizing the union and negotiating a strong, educationally focused contract has brought into clearer focus the ways in which good labor-management dialogue can improve a school,” said American Federation of Teachers Pennsylvania President Ted Kirsch. “The union is a positive step that will help to develop strong relationships and strengthen the school in the long run.”

Pennsylvania ranks second in the nation for nuclear power generation. Tow of the commonwealth’s nulcear power plants – Three Mile Island in Dauphin County and Beaver Valley in Beaver County – are slated for closure in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

The board added thatthe report “details possible policy solutions that would properly value the contributions of nuclear energy and avoid the premature closure of Pennsylvania’s nuclear plants, including Three Mile Island and Beaver Valley.

understanding BANKRUPTCY

BY MICHAEL A. CIBIK AMERICAN BANKRUPTCY BOARD CERTIFIED uestion: How can your fiancée lose the engagement ring in your bankruptcy case?

Even men with debt problems fall in love, and when they do, many of them will come up with a way to give their beloved a nice engagement ring. Often, heaven and earth will be moved in the search for the proper ring, and the result could be a very expensive engagement ring.

If the gentleman happens to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy before the wedding, this could spell trouble.

But how could this be? If

Q

the engagement ring was given to the fiancée prior to the man’s bankruptcy filing, it was no longer his property, right? And if it were no longer his property, how could he lose it in bankruptcy?

The answer to how the engagement ring could be lost to the bankruptcy trustee is found in Section 548 of the bankruptcy code.

Section 548 provides that if a bankruptcy debtor gives away money or property in the two years prior to filing bankruptcy, and if the bankruptcy debtor receives no actual value in return for the item given away, then the bankruptcy trustee can recover the money or property from the recipient.

It is common for a Chapter 7 trustee to assert that the gift of an engagement ring to a fiancée in the two years prior to filing bankruptcy fits into Section 548 very nicely. The trustee then demands that the fiancée return the engagement ring to the trustee to be sold to pay creditors.

Next Week’s Question: Filing for bankruptcy again?

Watch out for these pitfalls!

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $102,788.05 plus interest, costs and other charges through the sale date. Ten percent (10%) of the highest bid is the deposit required at the sale. The amount that must be paid to HUD by the mortgagors or someone acting on their behalf so that the sale may be stayed is the total delinquent amount of $102,788.05 as of August 9, 2018, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bid, all bidders, except the Secretary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent 10% of the Secretary’s bid as set forth above in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD.

All extensions will be for fifteen (15) days, and a fee will be charged in the amount of $150.00 for each fifteen (15) day extension requested. The extension fee shall be paid in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder’s deposit will be forfeited, and the Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein.

CITY HALL SAM

(Cont. From Page 14) Pennsylvania did not like HILLARY CLINTON. Many Democrats admitted that they either stayed home or, in fact, voted for Trump because of their dislike for her.

So the biggest challenge for Democrats is to find a candidate for president who is not Hillary Clinton. That sounds simple, but the Democrats have always taken their electoral wealth and squandered it. The newly elected young progressives, along with in-

dependents like BERNIE SANDERS, are already applying the left-wing purity test to other would-be presidential candidates.

People are talking about BETO O’ROURKE, who lost against the most-unlikable Republican, U.S. SEN. TED CRUZ, in Texas.

Beto does not fit the mold of Democratic purity. He’s not diverse enough and he doesn’t come from a challenged background, so it is only a matter of time before the backstabbing and slandering begins.

And Beto is not the only one that Democrats will take part in savaging. They will not be happy until they have a ticket that meets their fantasy requirements and can’t win.

This goes double for JOE BIDEN, who is acceptable to everyone in America and would win the presidency hands down. Therefore the lefties will accuse him of being old and part of the impure establishment and thus unacceptable. It’s only a matter of time till they start leaking toxic stories about Joe.

dealing with people that do not agree with him is not shared by all of his prosecutors. Assistant DAs and federal prosecutors appear to cooperate on cases where their jurisdictions overlap.

Earlier this year, federal prosecutors aided the DA’s Office in an investigation that led to charges against a large drug ring in Kensington.

McSwain, unlike Krasner, has embraced other law-enforcement groups, specifically police organizations. It appears Krasner’s relationship with the police union, FOP Lodge 5, is still strained. In an unusual step, the FOP in 2017 did not endorse the Democratic candidate for DA, but supported the GOP candidate, former ADA BETH GROSSMAN. Krasner’s poor relationship with fellow prosecutors should not be a surprise.

Until taking office he had no prosecutorial experience.

He was a criminal-defense attorney. Prosecutors were his adversaries. need is a little kid getting Tamir Rice-ed in Fairmount Park by a cop with no sleep due to all of the murders and even less training.

(Cont. From Page 14) These comments follow a sweetheart deal that Krasner’s office gave to a violent felon, JOVAN PATTERSON. Patterson shot and critically injured MICHAEL POENG, a West Philadelphia deli owner, during an attempted robbery this past May. The attack left Poeng in a coma (from which he has since awakened) and with long-term medical issues.

Patterson agreed to plead guilty to aggravated assault, robbery, and possession of an instrument of a crime in return for a sentence that could free him on parole in three years. The DA’s Office dismissed charges for attempted murder and gun violations, which could have significantly increased Patterson’s sentence.

McSwain noted that he has regular contact with other district attorneys in the nine-county region covered by his office, but hasn’t spoken to Krasner in

months.

Krasner’s decision to limit communication with McSwain apparently applies to other prosecutors. Last month, Krasner withdrew his office from membership in the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association.

Krasner claimed the withdrawal was a “principled” action. He believes the association was at least partly responsible for the significant increase the number of people incarcerated in the commonwealth. Krasner also noted that the organization supports several ideas that do not mesh with his agenda to reform how criminals are prosecuted. But how does Krasner expect to reform the system if he does not talk to other major players in the system?

McSwain noted, “Clearly, they’ve (the DA’s office) got an agenda and don’t really want to spend a lot of time with people who don’t share their views.”

Luckily for us, McSwain may be partially wrong, as Krasner’s discomfort in

KARS4KIDS and the Urban League of Philadelphia partnered to distribute more than 1,000 new winter coats to children in the city’s Spring Garden neighborhood last Sunday. Pennsylvania State Rep. Brian Sims and State Rep.-Elect Malcolm Kenyatta joined the volunteers. L-R were Tomas Varela, Nadine Bonner, Sims, Catherine Jordan and Kenyatta. Kars4Kids supplied the coats. The giveaway was held at the E. Luther Cunningham Community Recreation Center. Kars4Kids is a nationally recognized Jewish nonprofit organization with many year-round programs for children and families. The Urban League of Philadelphia is a major nonprofit organizer.

right direction, especially since it’s an election year and the last thing this situation needs is politics.

Next week, we take a look back at 2018. The murder rate notwithstanding, it wasn’t that bad.
