Columbus Day Parade Is Alive and Well It’s official! Philadelphia’s renowned Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival will take place Oct. 10 with an estimated 5,000 marchers including eight string bands, two service bands and several high-school bands. This time, however, the parade route is shorter. Marchers will gather at Broad & Morris in South Philadelphia and proceed to Marconi Plaza, at Broad & Oregon. The parade will conclude at Bigler Street just after passing by the reviewing stand. The parade will be telecast on Channel 6 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The festivities will continue with the Columbus Day Festival on the west grounds of Marconi Plaza during the parade and will continue to 6 p.m. Grand Marshall of this year’s parade will be Jerry Blavat, well-known radio disc jockey. Coordinating this year’s parade is the 1492 Society, a newly formed nonprofit which has replaced the now-defunct Columbus Day Committee, founded 50-plus years ago by the late Commendatore Severino Verna, the husband of Council President Anna Verna. This year’s committee should raise the $50,000 in expenses generated by the parade and celebration. According to Jody DellaBarba, “Congressman Bob Brady is to be credited with funding all of the city’s ethnic and neighborhood parades. He asked Gerry Lenfest for help. The humanitarian put enough money into a fund from which the parade committees can draw to pay for the City expense generated by the use of police, fire, and sanitation services. This lowered
the cost for this parade and all the others.” Leading the list of donors who have contributed to the $50,000 needed for this year’s Columbus Day parade is Verna, who donated $10,000 in honor of her husband, Sevy Verna. He had been the parade’s marshal from its first celebration until his death two years ago. Other donors to date include Pete Ciarrocchi, restaurant owner, $5,000; Jay Agnes, of P. Agnes Builders, $5,000; Defense Realty, $5,000; State Sen. Larry Farnese, $5,000 through a State grant; Grand Lodge of Sons of Italy, $5,000; Philadelphia Federal Credit Union, $2500; UNICO, $500 with Verna adding another $4,000 through a City Council grant. Solicitations are still continuing. Chairperson of the newly formed 1492 Society is Ciarrocchi. Secretary is DellaBarba, and vice president is Mark Rago, owner of Monte-Rago Funeral Directors. The festival at Marconi Plaza includes Italian dishes and desserts from many of South Philadelphia’s famous eateries. Entertainment will include the Verdi Band, the Munier Mandolin Society, The Business band, Singer Nick Desiderio, with DJ Ed Tulley, emceeing the festivities. It will conclude at 6 p.m. Kathy Murray, retired chief of staff of Verna’s office, will assume the duties of organization and coordination of parade activities. This will be her last parade, she said, as she heads into a religious vocation.

(Prices Subject to Change) • SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks To Your Health
by Rory G. McGlasson A group of nuns at a local Catholic church have had their prayers answered by some generous hearts. The Sacred Heart of Jesus convent is unusual, in that the convent at 1422 S. 3rd Street is home to eight sisters. So dark and dreary-looking was their front-room chapel, the sisters moved upstairs to their (Cont. Page 2)
by Maria Merlino Local winemaker John Patane has been winning awards for his wine for more than 30 years. His secret ingredient: a university thesis paper, he wrote, that mixes science with winemaking. When John Patane’s father passed away, he left enough wine that would have lasted the family for about a year. But because he was in college, majoring in science and physics, Patane needed to drink moderately, so that wine lasted for four years. When he ran out, he started making it again. This was back in the 1960s, when he was attending La Salle College. (Cont. Page 2)

Sacred Heart Nuns’ Prayers Answered Home Grown Vino (Cont. From Page 1) common room to pray. However, next Monday, the sisters will be back in their proper chapel in their front room, thanks to some very generous people. After reading about the work to save the parish in this newspaper, a former South Philadelphia man based in Tennessee donated $3,500 toward the convent chapel after reading about the church online. Thanks to the parish men’s group – the Future of Faith campaign – the church and convent has had a major makeover. Each sister at Sacred Heart of Jesus has a room that is extremely small and cramped. Each living space is tiny, so much so they have to use the church loft to store their clothes. Not that the sisters complain, however. That said, the four-story building had not seen a lick of paint, or an upgrade in 30

years. Not, at least, until some generous volunteers knocked on their door. Fewer than two months later, a brand-new kitchen and dining room have been brightened up by new two-tone premium paint on the walls. There are modern light fixtures in the dining room, in the entrance way and chapel, and a tiled floor on the entrance way and in the downstairs bathroom. New carpets will installed this week on the first and second floors. The eight sisters, who have lived there between three and 10 years, are humbled by the work completed by each volunteer. However, this coming Monday has the sisters most excited. That’s because they will be back in their frontroom chapel. “We thank and pray for each and every one of the volunteers who have helped fix up the convent each day, and for the kindness of the people who donated their money to the parish,” said Sister Kathleen. “Things are simply brighter and fresher around here,” she remarked. “We just cannot believe that other people would think of helping us.” On Monday evening, the eight sisters sat down and ate in their new dining room. It was the first time they had all eaten together in the newly decorated space. “We will have special grace for everyone,” said Sister Marita. To mark the special grace, the sisters ate spare ribs and baked potatoes. One volunteer who has do-

The eight nuns who live at convent will start praying again in their beloved chapel next Monday. nated hours of his free time at the convent is Donald Hall, who lives at Front & Fitzgerald Streets. Even though he attends Mt. Carmel parish, he is one of many IBEW Local 98 electricians to volunteer their time and help the Sacred Heart parish. Hall, 26, has been with Local 98 for almost five years. He spent Monday evening putting light fixtures on the walls of the new convent chapel. The sisters opened up the convent to Mikki & Jennie Capo, who live on E. Passyunk Avenue. The Capos donated $1,000 to the convent, and they were invited to tour the facility on Monday afternoon. They brought with them another $200 they had raised among their extended family. Father Feeney, along with Sisters Andrew, Kathleen and Marita, joined the Capos. So did Sacred Heart Men’s club members Tom Betteridge and Brian Donnelly. By the end of this week, the chapel will be completely finished, according to Betteridge.
Mikki Capo said she is looking forward to coming back in January, when plaques will be installed outside of each of the eight bedrooms in the convent. Capo will have her husband’s name dedicated on one of the plaques bedroom door. In the last six weeks, the Future of the Faith campaign has raised over $19,000. The donations have came from as far as Tennessee and as close as 2 Street. “The Sisters’ prayers have helped us; we should help them,” Betteridge, who leads the men’s group, said. Betteridge, the brainchild behind the Future of Faith campaign, was quick to deflect recognition for his efforts. “This is a collaborative effort,” he said. “And we have a leader in Father Feeney, who is the real savior of our church.” Sacred Heart will hold its Homecoming Day on Oct 24. “We want some of our donors to come and see how their generous donations were put to good use,” Betteridge said.
(Cont. From Page 1) “This is the way it goes,” he begins. “When I was teaching, I met a man, Carl Marzacco, who was a scientific farmer. He was also a physics teacher. I questioned him. And what he told me was that his father was farmer and by studying the sciences he was in the right position to study crops, fertilizations, shade and angles. “This struck a bell with me, because my dad made wine, but he and his friends didn’t have the time to study what they do in commerce. So when I was doing my graduate studies at Syracuse University, I did my thesis on winemaking, The Chemistry and Composition of Red Wines. It was perfect, because it’s wine country up there, so I was able to do some research in the Finger Lakes region.” Married to Theresa since 1971 with two children, Peter and Claudia, Patane has long been winning awards for his wine. Patane and three of his closest friends, Paul Policarpo, Steve Curcio and Vince Novello, have a small basement winery that evolved from that thesis paper. Patane recalls how he remembers his grandfather making wine, but it always gave me a terrible headache unless I watered it down, he said. “That’s due to the congeners, a by-product that forms in alcoholic drinks.” These congeners contain acetone, acetaldehyde, tannins, and other higher alcohols such as propanol and glycols. They are responsible for most of the taste, aroma, and color of alcoholic beverages. It’s been suggested that
these substances contribute to the symptoms of a hangover. “Old-timers used to make vinegar because didn’t use good sterilization methods in their cleanliness back in those days. They would make the wine in early October and start drinking it in November, Saint Martin’s day, San Martino, on Nov. 14. They would drink it as fast as possible. They might even run out in April. Then the barrel would stay empty and bacteria would grow. The reason they drank it real fast, though, was because there were no preservatives. “A lot of old Italians would mix it with 7-Up to sweeten it up and mask the sourness of the acetic acid.” There is also a difference between wild yeast and cultivated yeasts. Patane shares that nonscientific wine-making is to crush the grapes, dump them in a vat, and let them ferment with the natural organisms in the air. “You’re taking a chance, because there are a lot of bad micro-organisms. In Europe, over the centuries, the good yeast is in the air, but here, we are in wild country since there was no wine industry.” Does he have any advice for the budding winemaker? “Yes! If you want to start making your own wine, don’t rely on Mother Nature. You’re taking too many chances. The alcohol percentage is too low; only 3% to 4%. This is another reason why the wine goes bad. There are three cardinal rules: cleanliness, cool temperatures and topping off. Use a winemaking kit, too. It’s like painting by numbers.”

Ridge For Toomey; O’Brien Hung Former Gov. Tom Ridge is getting involved in the US Senate race in Pennsylvania. Ridge, a Republican, endorsed GOP nominee Pat Toomey in State College. “Voters across Pennsylvania are rallying to Pat’s vision for creating jobs and bringing fiscal responsibility to Washington,” Ridge said in a statement. “I am endorsing Pat today because he is an honest, principled leader who is unafraid to stand up for what’s right. As a member of Congress, Pat consistently fought for taxpayers, and in today’s economic climate, that trait is more important than ever.” Both Toomey and Democrat candidate Joe Sestak have been rolling out their endorsements in recent weeks. They include an endorsement for Toomey from the Pennsylvania Fraternal Order of Police. Sestak’s endorsements include the backing of Democrat Sen. Byron Dorgan from North Dakota, Republican Chuck Hagel, the former US Senator from Nebraska, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent.

State Rep. John Perzel. Thirty-six percent of the voters polled say they will definitely vote to reelect Perzel. When asked their party preference for their State
Representative, absent specific candidate names, 43% of voters choose a Democrat, while just 36% choose a Republican. This is one of the only Districts in the whole state where the generic Dem-
ocratic advantage has actually increased since 2008. Despite being known by twice as many voters as Boyle, the poll indicated Perzel starts the race with the support of just 48% of voters,
compared to 41% for Boyle. This memorandum summarizes the results of a telephone poll of 403 randomly selected likely voters in Pennsylvania’s 172nd House Dist. conducted Aug. 22-24.
Brady Hosts Students At Fly In vide. These students will have the opportunity to ask about the aircraft, the academies, life in the military, and the crews’ experiences. This is better access than they would ever have at an air show,” Brady said. The Service Academies are the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.; US Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.; US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Col.; and, the US Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn. All schools offer the highest-caliber academics, athletics, and leadership training. Graduates incur a minimum five-year service obligation upon graduation, a great head start on a possible long term career, or a fantastic bullet on a civilian resume once the service obligation is complete. The academies require a congressional nomination from either the student’s Representative or Senator.
Once nominated, the schools offer appointments to those selected for admission. Congressmen can nominate up to 10 people per academy per year. Students can talk to liaison officers from each academy to learn more about them, the process for nomination and appointment, and academic and the athletic preparations they can begin making now to make themselves into attractive candidates. Students are encouraged to begin preparation in junior high school to develop the study habits, course load, and grades to make themselves qualified for the academies. They can also begin to participate in sports and clubs that provide leadership and well-rounded experiences to enhance their applications.

Chlamydia Challenges City Schools One of the problems facing the School District this year is the continued spread of chlamydia among its student populations. With over 1.2 million cases reported annually, Chlamydia trachomatis infection (chlamydia) is the most commonly reported notifiable disease in the US. Chlamydia is a sexually
transmitted infection, which can lead to a host of serious reproductive health problems in women, including infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. The burden of infection is highest among adolescents and there are also substantial racial disparities, with non-Hispanic Blacks disproportionately affected. Chlamydia is easily detected and treated, but recommended annual screening
remains underutilized. Lack of awareness, social stigma, barriers to finding and treating sex partners of infected women, and difficulties in measuring public health impact all present challenges and opportunities for chlamydia prevention programs. Despite school programs designed to create awareness by the School District, students continue to discount this disease as a minor infection.
Michael A. Cibik, Esquire American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: Automatic stay, and why you don’t want to lose it! Answer: When a bankruptcy is filed, the debtor gets an automatic stay. It prevents your creditors from continuing any attempts to collect on the debts
that are owed. Under most circumstances, it remains in place for the life of your case. The most common way a debtor loses it is by not making the monthly payments on his secured debts that are required in his Chapter 13 Plan. If the postChapter 13 petition-plan payments are not made then, the creditor will normally file a Mo-
tion To Lift Stay. If the court does grant the motion, then the creditor can resume its collection actions. Another way that an automatic stay can be lost is when a case is dismissed and refiled within one year. Next week’s question: Are debtor’s prisons primed for a comeback?

Seated on a couch in what is normally the waiting room at the law offices of Zarwin, Baum, DeVito, Kaplan, Schaer and Toddy, PC with her friends Mavis Pringle and Yvonne Newkirk, Charlene Fullard of West Philadelphia was having a libation and engaging in chit-chat. Some of the chit-chat focused on the reason the ladies were in this law firm after hours, having drinks and noshing on food from the Marathon Grille downstairs. They were discussing the electoral prospects of their Republican Ward Leader David Oh. If Oh’s name sounds familiar to you, it’s because he came within 122 votes of beating City Councilman Jack Kelly for his seat four years ago. It was his second run for one of the two Council at-Large seats that the City Charter mandates for the minority party. He’s considering throwing his hat in the ring a third time in 2011, so he invited a few of his closest (and most able to write a check) friends to an exploratory fundraiser on Friday night to test the waters. Pringle, Newkirk and Fullard were among those encouraging Oh to dive in. “The third time is the charm,” Fullard said. Also encouraging were the members of his law firm. “The 53 members of our law firm are behind him,” said David Schaer, a partner in Zarwin, Baum, DeVito, Kaplan, Schaer & Toddy. “We want you to go out and talk about David. With your help and support, David is going to be the next City Council at Large Member.” Even a couple of high-profile Democrats, Councilwoman (Cont. Page 17)
DAN ONORATO has an illustrious record as an administrator in Allegheny Co. and Pittsburgh. TOM CORBETT has a reputation as an Attorney General who has done a lot of prosecuting. He is also is based in Pittsburgh, although the office of the Attorney General is in Harrisburg. Normally, the voters in the West favor the candidate from the West. But here, both the Republican and the Democrat are from the western part of the state. Which of the two is more popular? The answer to that question should determine who the next Governor of Pennsylvania will Normally, Philadelphia supports the Democratic candidate in statewide elections. There is no real reason why there should be a departure from this practice. But there is some incentive for elected officials in the Southeastern corner of Pennsylvania who are Republican to get out the vote. If Corbett were to win, he would vacate the office of Attorney General. The former District Attorney of Montgomery Co., BRUCE CASTOR, has made it clear he definitely wants to be considered for this spot. Since it is an elected position, it would seem unlikely the Governor could appoint his own successor. Thus, there would be a need for a special election to fill that seat. If the race for Mayor in Philadelphia continues to shape up as early signs indicate, you could once again have white candidates, SAM KATZ and/or TOM KNOX, running in a primary with MIKE NUTTER. If the two of them continue with their expressed plans, that would seem to benefit Nutter. It is unlikely COUNCILMAN BILL GREEN would get into the primary; that would make it three white candidates and one Black candidate. In the event, they all become candidates in the Primary, it would seem the liberal Democratic vote represented by the Society Hill area, the Rittenhouse Square area, the University of Pennsylvania ward, Chestnut Hill, the Parkway highrises of the 15th Ward and the ManayunkRoxborough ward of the 21st Ward would favor Sam Katz. Three years ago, Knox’s main area of support was blue-collar white. It is unlikely that either one of them would appeal to Black voters. Nutter, who had the support of the liberal community above described when he ran in 2007, would have to expect a dropoff of support when he would be head-to-head with a fellow liberal like Sam Katz.

SNOOPER SCOOPER: One of my associates took me to the back of The DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE and, Chief, I couldn’t believe what he showed me. He took me over to one of those trash dumpsters and showed me over 100 “TRAVELING CASES” used by many of the Assistant District Attorneys, which, as I was told, were used to carry all their CASES to all the courtrooms. He told me, after checking them, they must have cost over $100 apiece. We saw a few people come and actually take a few of them for themselves. One woman stated, “Hey, if they’re going to throw all of these cases away, why not take them and use them yourself?” She did take quite a few of them, and also went to tell her friends about her “GOOD FORTUNE”. SNOOPER’S ELECTION REPORT: Someone had better tell all of those DEMOCRATS, especially all those who are running in CLOSE RACES, they had better WAKE UP. Our recent POLLS show the REPUBLICANS ahead, not by much, however they’re still ahead and time is running out. The “TEA PARTY” is really making a lot of headway here, and it is growing each day. They have already put PENNSYLVANIA into the REPUBLICAN COLUMN and it might carry over in PHILADELPHIA too. There will be many new changes in CITY COUNCIL, and I would not be surprised to see it happen in the STATE REPRESENTATIVE races too. WATCH OUT! SNOOPER “SNOOPING” BUREAU: I went visited one of the local HIGH SCHOOLS here in Philadelphia, and from what I have seen, and been told, not too much has changed. BULLYING is still going on in many of our local SCHOOLS and it seems it will keep going on, because it’s really hard to stop it. South Philly High School seems a little better, but as I’ve been told, “IT’S THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM”. Parents MUST get involved, if ALL our High Schools are going to be SAFE for our CHILDREN get involved. The Superintendant is really trying, and she needs ALL OUR H-E-L-P! SNOOPER’S “SPECIAL EVENTS FILES”: Chief, TODAY, Thursday, SEP. 16, is a very special event for ALL OF YOU, courtesy of our favorite Senator, HON. CHRISTINE TARTAGLIONE, and it’s one we ALL attend. It’s her ANNUAL SENIOR EXPO and it will be held at THE CAMELOT SCHOOL’S EXCEL ACADEMY. You’ll find it at 6600 BUSTLETON AVENUE; they’ll start at 10:00 a.m. and go to 1:00 p.m. THE SENATOR (Cont.

Former Congressional staffer and future City Council candidate RICH SUBBIO has stepped up his appearances and, with them, the talk about him. He’s doing the social-networking thing, making the rounds and reaching out to unfamiliar and untraditional networks. Looks like he’ll leave no stone unturned. One rumor is he’ll seek the seat currently held by COUNCILMAN CURTIS JONES, JR. My thought is luck won’t be on his side; instead, an at-Large candidacy might be more beneficial. Jones, as one of the freshman three, has been a hard worker and is nearly impossible to topple. His connection with voters and constituents throughout the District is admirable; a few other members of Council may want to take notes! CARL ‘FEEL-A-DELPHIA’ GREENE’S attorney leveled a low blow recently by the gentle accusation former MAYOR JOHN STREET had pushed a no-show employee into a position at the Philadelphia Housing Authority. Reading between the lines, the local papers reported the matter with details that would make you go ... hmm. “Their offices were in a secluded area away from everyone else.” “They worked outside of the office often, alone and together.” “Street insisted she be hired….” We get the point, and we don’t like it one bit. Everyone knows Street was above reproach in this regard; for Greene’s attorney (of all people) to throw such charges out there! Well, what can we say? Nothing is off the table when the mudslinging begins! While we are at it, MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER’s need to place blame on the Board and thus sully Street are transparent. Whatever you two fought about a thousand years ago, get over it and stick to the matter at hand. You’ve got too many issues going into next year!

Yo! Here we go again. My Air Force buddy Bernie A. sent this to me. A group of school kids were asked these questions on love and marriage. You might agree with some of the answers. Read on: Who should you marry? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming –Alan, age 10 ~ No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with –Kirsten, age 10. What is the right age to get married? No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. –Freddie, age 6. How can a stranger tell if two people are married? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids –Derrick, age 8.~ What do you think your Mom and Dad have in common? Both don’t want any more kids. –Lori, age 8. What do most people do on a date? Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. –Lynnette, age 8 ~ On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. –Martin, age 10. What would you do on a first date that was turning sour? I’d run home and play dead –Craig, age 9. ~ When is it okay to kiss someone? When they’re rich. –Pam, age 7 ~ The law says you have to be 18, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that. –Curt, age 7. (Cont. Page 21)

Our Opinion ... Going Bonkers?
One of our front-page headlines indicating just maybe President Clinton, campaigning here and around the nation for besieged Democrat incumbents and new candidates, might be thinking of a run for President, is not too far-fetched. Though no one runs against an incumbent President seeking a second term, one need only look back to President Jimmy Carter’s single term. The reasons were slightly different back then, with inflation a prime factor in dislodging him from a second term. Should the recession continue unabated for another two and half years, and inflation begin to rear its head more quickly than the present pace that is already bothering tight-budget families, the Democrat Party may need to tell its President it might be wise for him to retire rather than lose the presidency to a Republican.
Going Into 2011

As we have mentioned in various political stories over the last few issues, we already see a burst of enthusiasm surfacing from Democrat and Republican candidates this coming primary for both State and City offices. In this issue, we mention two strong contenders: David Oh for GOP Council At Large and Ivy Staten, backed heavily by key labor organizations, seeking a seat with the City Commissioners. Already declared are candidates for the Sheriff’s job. Other offices are being mentioned, especially that of Mayor, by Tom Knox, who has occasionally indicated he plans another run. Sam Katz is studying the situation to see if he can play on a level field. Don’t be surprised if one or more members of the General Assembly, fresh from their own successful campaigns, may be pressured into running for either a row-office seat, a Council District or an at-Large Council seat. Sparking this early interest is the fact, save for two or three hotly contested legislative seats, the November results are already in as far as the majority of ward leaders, committeepersons and leaders of both major parties are concerned. So for most city politicos, it’s already a new political season.

What A Storey!
Evans Tries To Save Pa. Highway Funding
The world of boxing is filled with a ton of triumphed stories, but perhaps none are more inspiring than that of four-time Irish Olympic boxing coach Gerry Storey. Storey is head coach of the Holy Family Boxing Club in northern Belfast. Holy Family has been featured in the BBC documentary Fight Town and the Daniel Day-Lewis film The Boxer. He has trained numerous successful boxers, including Neil Sinclair and former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan. Storey trains both Catholics and Protestants in an area where you once couldn’t walk down certain streets if you were the wrong religion. His work is highly credited with helping to bridge the sectarian divide in Belfast and as a result he won the “Sport for Good” award at the Laureus World Sports Awards and was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire. Storey will bring his boxing club to the states to compete against Philly’s Harrowgate Boxing Club on Sep. 23 as the kickoff for Wildwood’s annual Irish Weekend festivities. The Irish team will spend the week prior to the fights in Philadelphia putting the finishing touches on their fight preparations and will be making several promotional appearances with stops already planned in Fairmount, Port Richmond, and on Two Street. For tickets to the fights, sponsorship opportunities, or for additional information, please call Fred Druding, Jr. at (215) 221-2374.
State Rep. Dwight Evans (D-N. Phila.), Appropriations Committee chair, will be throwing a “Hail Mary” pass with legislation he is introducing this week that will fund a bill to enable the State to move on critical repairs to its network of highways and bridges. Joanna Pro, Evans’ spokeswoman, said Evans knows the critical state in which our roads, bridges and transit systems find themselves. She said Evans believes “waiting until the next Governor is in office could jeopardize jobs and getting new money into the 2011 construction season.” Evans’ plan would generate revenue by levying an 8% tax on the profits of oil companies; increasing the oil franchise tax by 6.5 cents per gallon from the 19.2-cent tax on gasoline and 26.1 cents on

diesel; and increasing more than 60 license, registration and vehicle fees to reflect inflationary increases since their last adjustment. Gov. Ed Rendell’s $1 billion transportation-funding proposal announced last month included taxes on oil-company profits and vehicle-fee hikes, but not the oil-franchise tax. Pro said the $1.3 billion, along with $450 million guaranteed through Act 44, wouldn’t generate enough money to address all the state’s transportation problems. The state’s Transportation Advisory Committee said this spring an additional $3.5 billion a year is needed for that. Evans’ bill faces an uphill battle. Erik Arneson, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (RDelaware), said he “doesn’t believe there is enough time (in the session) to build a consensus on a comprehensive plan. ‘We are now 51 days away from knowing who the next governor will be,” Arneson continued. “This is (an issue) the next Governor should have a chance to be a part of the process on.” BARRY FISHER LICENSED ELECTRICIAN Over 42yrs experience low prices, fast service 100-amp Circuit breakers $65+ ceiling fans $25+ • Outlets $6+ AC/WD Lines $10+ lic/ins* FHA/VA Cert

high-profile Democrats in his corner in the age of the Tea Party? He can if Republicans think “results” instead of “dogma,” he says. “Just because someone says they are a Republican doesn’t mean they have Republican ideas,” Oh said. “Scapegoating and polarization don’t help anyone. My campaign is about all of us working together. If you’re looking for someone who is going to take a purity test, I’m not your guy. But if you’re looking for someone who is going to get results, that’s what I’m about.”

(Cont. From Page 11) Maria Quiñones Sánchez and State Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams, promised Oh their support at Friday’s get-together. “I’m looking forward to next year’s Freshman Class in City Council and it would be refreshing for David to be a part of it,” Quiñones Sánchez said. “He thinks outside of the box and he has a lot of good bipartisan ideas that will be good for Philadelphia.” “David Oh deserves to go to City Council and I’m proud to endorse him tonight,” Williams said. “He is a man of service; a hard-working and smart person to tries to do what is right for people.” Folks came from as far away as California to sing Oh’s praises and encourage
him to run for City Council. But despite this outpouring, Oh is taking baby steps toward another run. He knows that he wants to take another shot at becoming a Councilman, but he’s assuming nothing, he says. “I want to run,” he said. “But I don’t assume the support I received the last time that I ran will be there. I want to make sure I have the support, the money and the time from others before I let this plane take off. I want to check out all of the systems.” But while his pragmatic, moderate view of what’s best for the city hasn’t changed, Oh is running for City Council as a Republican in the age of the Tea Party. What of the polarized electorate? Can a moderate Asian Republican from West Philadelphia win the Republican nomination with two

Earthquake To Preach What He’s Practiced
Southwest community activist Paul “Earthquake” Moore plans to broaden his faith-based horizons and those of others when he de-
livers his first sermon in two weeks before a congregation at New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in the Paschall section of South-
west Philadelphia. Moore will take his initial step toward becoming a pastor with a trial sermon being delivered at 11:30, at the Elm-
wood Skating Rink 71st Street and Grays Avenue. New Fellowship members have held church services at the skating rink while awaiting the com-
pletion of their new house of worship at 70th Street and Woodland Avenue. Moore has belonged to New Fellowship for the 14 years, serving
2400 E. Somerset Street Philadelphia, PA 19134
as a deacon for eight. For more information, call Paul “Earthquake” Moore at (215) 385-2696 or email him at earth_quake1@hotmail.com.

I don’t want to be all grossed out. –Theodore, age 8 ~ It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. –Anita, age 9.

By the end of this year, it will have raised over $500,000 for BREAST CAN-
