Committee Of 70 Donor Busted For Defrauding Governments

by Bob Lee Committee of 70 CEO Zack Stalberg was recently quoted in the Inquirer the City Commissioners should have noticed fax requests for watchers certificates were coming from government-office faxes and that the commissioners should have recognized it as inappropriate. Now he thinks we should police every single individual or employee of other organizations that submit requests to our office.

Maybe he could also police the activities of his own Board members and donors, to insure the Committee of Seventy is not supported by funds gained through corrupt practices or associated with organizations which admit to, or are found guilty of, corrupt practices.

Thomas C. Woodward, of the Bank of America, sits on the Board of Directors of the Committee of 70. Bank of America has donated to sup-

port 70’s major annual breakfast fundraiser.

Bank of America will pay $67 million as part of a multistate settlement concerning a nationwide scheme to rig bids and other anticompetitive conduct that defrauded State agencies, municipalities, school districts and nonprofit organizations, Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett announced last week.

Corbett said the settlement, which also includes New Jersey and 18 other states, is a component in an overall settlement involving Bank of America, the States, and several federal agencies, including the Securities & Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve.

“This settlement is expected to return nearly $4 million to dozens of publicschool districts across Pennsylvania, along with numerous cities, boroughs,

townships, county governments and municipal authorities,” Corbett said. “All of these agencies were allegedly victimized by the illegal schemes involving Bank of America, which artificially increased their investment costs and reduced their rate of return.”

Corbett said the broad and ongoing national investigation has focused on the marketing and sale of municipal derivative investments, which are often used by government agencies and nonprofit organizations to reinvest the proceeds of taxexempt bond offerings until those funds are needed.

To the bank’s credit, Corbett said Bank of America was the first and only entity in the scheme that voluntarily self-reported the wrongdoing to the US Dept. of Justice.

Under the DOJ’s Corporate Leniency Program, Corbett said Bank of America

was granted conditional leniency based on its acknowledgment of wrongdoing, significant cooperation, and the payment of restitution.

To date, Corbett said the DOJ has brought criminal actions against seven individuals and one company and has obtained guilty pleas against eight others involved in the schemes.

“Municipal governments and school systems across Pennsylvania believed they were doing the right thing – making investments to earn additional money for their citizens,” Corbett said. “In reality, they were victimized by complex schemes to rig bids and avoid competition, designed to generate additional profits for Bank of America and the other coconspirators.”

According to the settlement agreement, between 1998 and 2003 Bank of America, along with other financial institutions and bro-

Waters, PLBC Back Ackerman Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus members have expressed their support for Philadelphia School District superintendent, Dr. Arlene Ackerman, in her decision to change contractors in a $7.5 million, no-bid emergency school district project.

Caucus members said Ackerman changed contractors to ensure there was more diversity in the companies that are awarded school contracts.

PLBC chairman State Rep. Ronald Waters (D-W. Phila.) said the School Dis-

trict was supposed to select a firm to provide surveillance cameras to 19 of 46 schools designated as “persistently dangerous.” Initially, School District staff on the selection committee told Security & Data Technologies Inc., a mainly Caucasian-owned firm, to start work on the contracts before Ackerman had reviewed the recommendation. When Ackerman learned no minority-owned contracting company was considered for the project, she awarded the contract to IBS Communications.

“Dr. Ackerman has been unfairly criticized for selecting IBS Communications, a highly qualified minorityowned firm, to provide surveillance cameras in dangerous schools in the district. IBS is committed to diversity and has disabled veterans and Latinos among its diverse subcontractors.

“The caucus commends Dr. Ackerman for her commitment to fairness and for taking on the issues of inclusion, diversity and opportunity in an effort to spread the school district’s contracts

among all of Philadelphia’s communities.

“The larger issue here is whether all Philadelphians have an equal opportunity to acquire city contracts and participate in government projects and businesses. The history in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of minority participation in doing business with the government has been dismal at best, including Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. I am glad Dr. Ackerman is helping to break that trend,” Waters said.

Could Closed Fire House Have Cut Injuries?

Fire Fighters Union Local 22 charged a Frankford fire, which left three firefighters injured and property destroyed earlier this week, is “another instance where, had it not been for the actions of Mayor Nutter, a different response likely would have occurred.”

A union spokesman charged, “The fire, prior to Mayor Nutter’s closing of Engine Company 14 over 22 months ago, would likely have been responded to by Engine 14. It was located located six blocks from the fire scene.

“Instead of Engine 14 arriving on scene first, Lad-

der 15 arrived first and reported in on scene in roughly three minutes. Of course, Ladders carry no water or any fire-suppression capability. Ladder 15 had to wait until an Engine Company arrived to engage the fire. Engine 70 was the first Engine to arrive on scene. It had to travel a

greater distance than Engine 14 would have had to travel. Engine 70 was further delayed in responding because it had to cross Roosevelt Boulevard, a 12-lane, three-island thoroughfare.

Department rules, properly, do not allow fire equipment to transverse the Boulevard without stopping.”

kers, allegedly rigged bids, received and provided “last looks” on bids and submitted non-competitive “courtesy” bids on investments.

The alleged schemes caused State, local, and nonprofit entities to enter into contracts that cost more or earned less than they should have received in a competitive marketplace.

Corbett said the investigation identified more than 100 Pennsylvania entities that may be eligible for restitution, including: Berks, Chester, Lebanon, Lehigh, and Montgomery Cos.; the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission; the Cities of Allentown and Philadelphia;

the Bethlehem Authority; and more than 30 school districts across the state, including Daniel Boone and Hamburg.

Corbett said all Pennsylvania entities that are eligible to participate in the settlement will be contacted with instruction about how to file a claim.

It can’t be easy for Stalberg and 70 to push for “good government” when their associated organizations are ripping off these same governments with corrupt practices.

PHA Completes 340 Scattered Site Homes Not too long ago, the home at 1720 Diamond Street was vacant and rundown. Thanks to funding from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, the Philadelphia Housing Authority was able to completely renovate the interior and transform it into homes for two families.

The units are just two of 340 scattered throughout the city that PHA substantially rehabbed with stimulus funds over the past year and a half.

“PHA has and will continue to make great strides in combating blight in Philadelphia by providing affordable housing to the people who need it most,” said newly appointed PHA Interim Executive Director Michael P. Kelly. “This type of accomplishment would not have been possible without the funding from ARRA.” A significant number of the renovated units are designated for citizens with disabilities.

Seventy-one were converted into fully accessible apartments with interior or exterior chair lifts so wheelchair users can have full use of their home. The units are part of PHA’s campaign to build

more affordable, accessible housing and provide opportunities for persons with disabilities to live independently as part of the community.

One of the residents moving in, Anthony Anderson, had been living in a shelter with his two-year-old son. Anderson was referred to PHA through a partnership with a city program called the Blueprint to end homelessness. He says having a permanent home will allow him the stability to raise his son and seek work.

The 340 renovated homes were also brought up to PHA’s high energy-efficiency standards. The properties now include improved insulation, energy efficient air and water heaters, doors, windows, and Energy Star appliances and fixtures.

Other stimulus-funded projects nearing completion include the upgrade of fire suppression standpipes at nine developments, the construction of the Mantua Square development in West Philadelphia, and the rehabilitation of the 800 block of Markoe Street, which is part of the Lucien E. Blackwell Homes community.

to try to reverse the decision by Fresh Del Monte Produce when it changed its port destination from Tioga Pier to the Holt-run Gloucester Terminal.

The union had financially matched Holt’s inducements with their own concessions, yet the shipper moved ahead to break its long-time relationship to Tioga Terminal, known along the Eastern seaboard as the “Philadelphia Fruit Terminal.”

The fruit company had enjoyed a tremendous working relationship with Delaware River Stevedores and the experienced fruit handlers of ILA Local 1291. The Tioga facilities for the handling of fruit are still the best in the Port, thanks to a constant infusion of infrastructure changes by the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority.

Hundreds of children received an early Christmas present on Tuesday, thanks to Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown.

Reynolds Brown kicked off her annual winter clothes drive, now in its eleventh year, on Tuesday by presenting children from 40 shelters and transitional housing agencies with new hats, gloves and scarves.

The at-Large Council woman teamed up with the Philadelphia Eagles at the opening kickoff.

The goal of the ‘Warmth In Winter Holiday Drive’ is to raise as many clothes possible for Philadelphia children in shelters, Brown said at the School District of Philadelphia.

She was joined by Santa Claus, Miss Philadelphia 2010-2011 Andrea Helfrich, Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders, SWOOP, Eagles defensive lineman Darryl Tapp and the South Philadelphiabased concert choir of Girard Academic Music Program at the kickoff event.

The Councilwoman will host a grand finale later in December to present the collected items to shelters and transitional housing agencies across the city.

When the Controller’s auditors requested documentation to determine how bus attendants’ payroll costs were determined, District personnel stated that this calculation was based on a study performed several years ago.

Though, the District could not provide a copy of this study.

Butler, who begins his third three-year term, vowed to continue pressuring to bring their “highjacked jobs back to Tioga Terminal where they truly belong. But while doing so, we need to also keep pressure on insuring the dredging of the Delaware River gets done, because without that shipping channel going down another five feet, we could easily lose out to competitors for the business that will come east via the enlarged Panama Canal. “ Back at the Executive Board helm of Local 1291, International Longshoremen’s Association, are Boise Butler, president; Martin Mascuilli, secretarytreasurer; Jack Hatty, VP; Rozell Randolph, recording secretary; Albert Howlett, business

Sen. Williams On Transition Committee Charter Schools will find a safe haven for the next four years with the selection by Gov.-Elect Tom Corbett of State Sen. Anthony Williams (D-W. Phila.) as a member of his transition team.

Citing the critical need for a bipartisan effort in the next legislative session, Corbett has selected Williams to serve on his transition team. Williams, who was recently elected as Democratic caucus chair, will be the only Democratic Senator on the transition team that consists of 17 transition committees.

“Sen. Williams’ presence on the transition team is a great first step in ensuring that we

set the tone for bipartisanship and begin to resolve the major issues that face our Commonwealth,” said Corbett.

The committees will examine the 25 departments and agencies in State government.

The committee on which Williams serves is charged with examining the Dept. of Education. Transition-team members include business leaders, former legislators, lobbyists and former officials from the Ridge administration.

Both share a platform calling for the expansion of charter schools as well as pushing for a voucher system.

“I share Sen. Williams’ core values of fiscal responsi-

bility and accountability to the taxpayers,” said Corbett.

“These values have allowed him to consistently reach across the aisle to get things done and make him a natural selection for my transition team. He has worked closely with State Sen. Jeffrey Piccola (R-Dauphin) and State Sen. Andrew Dinniman (DChester) to develop the proposed Opportunity Scholarship Act, which I support.”

Williams has become the legislature’s leading advocate for school choice and school reform, which have been seen as largely Republican issues.

He has also challenged the PSEA and the NAACP, both staunch supporters of the Democratic Party, for their opposition to school choice.

“I am looking forward to working with Gov.-Elect Cor-

Councilman Wm.

Greenlee

bett and his transition team,” said Williams. “Our efforts will establish the agenda that will create jobs, foster business growth and ensure that every child in Pennsylvania has the opportunity to receive a quality education.”

The transition will be overseen by co-directors Tom Paese, a former Cabinet member under Republican Gov. Tom Ridge, and Leslie Gromis-Baker, director of Ridge’s 1998 campaign.

A More-Silent Governor Speaking of Corbett, who admitted having a rough weekend as he was pulled to a score of events at the Pennsylvania Society gathering in New York, he indicated he wasn’t answering questions about anything from anyone concerning his new role as Governor.

The Public Record (USPS PP 109) Weekly Publication Published by:

The current State Attorney General and his staff came under fire recently when the State Democrat Party accused him of “refusing to answer questions” and highlighted several news stories from various media outlets saying Corbett and his staff had failed to respond to questions. Questions have ranged from Corbett’s positions on the budget or Marcellus shale drilling to activities in the AG’s office regarding subpoenas, indictments and investigations.

Corbett, caught at the Pennsylvania Society weekend in New York Friday, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review he is still “in grand jury” mode – being very secretive with information.

The Republican-controlled General Assembly leadership is acting as if the State’s 750 retail liquor stores and its 100 wholesale outlets will soon be on the auction block.

According to House Majority Leader-Elect Mike Turzai, there will be a bottom figure with no limit at the other end for properties.

“There’s a lot of hard work ahead, but I think we can get it done,” said Turzai, who will become Republican Gov.-elect Tom Corbett’s point man on the issue.

In an interview at the annual Pennsylvania Society gathering, Turzai discussed this as one of the House priorities for the 2011-12 session. It is essentially Corbett’s agenda, Turzai said, and includes getting a $4 billion deficit under control with a no-tax-hike budget done on time, lawsuit-abuse reform and privatizing liquor sale.

Should the privatization bill go through and get signed into law, the Commonwealth expects a strong rivalry for retail outlets from among the huge supermarket chains, hoping to include liquor sales

The Zeus program like most automated stealing programs is international in scope. What is unusual is police efforts in the past tended to be national in scope, allowing criminals to use national boundaries to avoid the law.

That has now changed.

The top five ringleaders of the Zeus gang were all arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine, while USA authorities, working in conjunction with the FBI, arrested 37 Russian and Eastern Europeans in the United States who were acting as money mules, moving money between nations and United Kingdom police forces arrested 19 people.

That is, 61 arrests in three countries and more in other countries may be expected.

The 2011 inductees into the International Boxing Hall of Fame were announced last week and Sylvester Stallone who played Philadelphia’s most famous fictional boxer will be one of the 12-member class.

Playing underdog Philly boxer Rocky Balboa, Stallone will forever be remembered with the famous line, “Yo, Adrian! I did it!”, in the 1976 Rocky movie that has inspired

boxing fans for decades.

Stallone went on to write five other movies based on the character Rocky Balboa and in 2006 was presented a “Lifetime Cinematic Achievement in Boxing” award by the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Upon notification of his induction, Stallone released the following statement; “It has been my privilege to have been blessed with the ability to write about the incredible courage and commitment of the many

by Peter Radatti, President, CyberSoft, Inc. Something very significant has happened in the world recently. While it has gotten little media coverage, it has the potential to change your life in a very real and very beneficial way. Operation Trident Breach was a great success and a turning point in international cybercrime operations.

You may have read my article about the Zeus Trojan.

This is the program that sneaks its way onto people’s computers and then steals access to their bank accounts.

The thieves got away with $70 million. There have been some very significant and interesting developments since I last reported on this story.

Yo, Adrian – I did It!

thousands of real-life Rockys whom we have watched perform honorably in the ring.”

Stallone will join a starstudded class of real-life boxers, including former heavyweight champion “Iron” Mike Tyson, former junior welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu, and legendary 3-division champion Julio Cesar Chavez. Joining Stallone in the non-boxer category will be trainer Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain and referee Joe Cortez.

The induction ceremony for the 2011 class will take place on Jun. 12, 2011 at the International Boxing Hall of Fame Museum in Canastota, N.Y.

Additional thanks go to the Netherlands Police Agency and the UK’s Metropolitan Police Service, who were very involved in the investigation.

Well-funded and connected international organized-crime groups involved in cybercrime is now the norm in the world. I believe we can now say well-funded and connected international organized police operations will be the norm in the future, all thanks to the incredible success of the Zeus leadership take-down. Nothing creates success like past success – and we are going to need it.

Pregnant Moms Can Go Online For Advice Catherine K. Tanksley, a tri-state area medical expert, has launched a website, www.ImGonnaBeAMom.co m, which is providing moms, dads, parents to be, adoptive parents or anyone soon to have a new arrival in their home with a unique, interactive forum to find answers to a variety of their questions.

“This site was developed when I noticed that many of my private-practice patients, like patients nationwide, had a gap in their care. I wanted to meet all of their needs,” said Tanksley. “Questions often came up between my patient’s regular visits and this site allowed me to communicate with my patients

24/7. I am so delighted the I’m Gonna Be A Mom website has grown into a reference site.”

Tanksley is the Director of Midwifery and OB/GYN Outreach at Brookdale University Hospital & Medical Center and an adjunct part time professor in the Dept. of Nursing at Columbia Univer-

sity Medical Center as director of midwifery to expand the midwifery service and to oversee OB/GYN’s department-outreach grant programs.

Tanksley originally launched the website (www.ImGonnaBeAMom.co m) as a more-convenient and assessable way to communi-

cate with her private patients. Now, this informational website serves as a reference site for parents to be worldwide. As “Professor B”, Tanksley answers ques-

tions related to various topics on pregnancy, prenatal care, labor and delivery, the postpartum period, breastfeeding, prenatal testing and much more.

by Michael A. Cibik, Esq. American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: Bankruptcy planning — 10th dumb thing NOT to do.

Answer: Don’t ignore the problem. It is tempting to just stick your head in the sand. It is stressful and unpleasant to deal with financial problems. I occasionally have a client who comes in carrying a grocery bag full of unopened bills and notices.

But it can cost you, especially if you are missing critical notices of legal action taken against you. You can lose your rights, and sometimes your property, by not paying adequate attention to what your creditors are trying to do. Read your mail; that is crucial.

File your tax returns, even if you can’t pay the

taxes – there is nothing more crucial than this. Besides the legality of failing to file tax returns, you need to know how much you owe in taxes.

I’ve had more than one client over the years who didn’t file a return because he didn’t think he had the money to pay, only to find out years later the actual tax was fairly minimal. Of course, the penalties and interest due for failure to file is NOT minimal.

Even if you are what lawyers call judgment-proof, you still need to track-follow what your creditors are doing, to make sure they don’t do something they aren’t supposed to.

So don’t be an ostrich; man up and go see someone about those financial problems. I’d be willing to bet you’ll feel better afterward.

Our Opinion ...

Come Home!

Kudos to the Unions

To the Laborers, Carpenters, Electricians and to the other union locals in this city, we thank you for the efforts of your leadership and your rank and file for doing your best to provide clothes and toys to help the many needy families bring an enjoyable Christmas Day to their children.

Few realize how active organized labor is when it comes to the family holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thousands of turkeys get distributed as well as clothing and toys during both national celebrations through the contributions of union rank and file.

Another Opinion

Keep Liquor Jobs Here

by State Sen. Larry Farnese Pennsylvanians have become accustomed to living under a Liquor Control Board that resembles a Soviet-style monopoly, but often hamhandedly tries to operate as a private enterprise.

This time, the LCB says it must consolidate operations in order to become more cost-efficient. The LCB wants to accomplish this by eliminating one of the three distribution centers it maintains around the state. And it wants to do so before the end of the Rendell Administration.

While we certainly favor efficient operations, we do not favor a rush to judgment that could result in losing more than 100 jobs held by experienced workers in Philadelphia.

Last year, the LCB received the results of a $598,000 study, prepared by North Carolina-based Tompkins Associates, to analyze and recommend improvements to the LCB’s statewide distribution network. The re-

port identified potential costsaving measures which included eliminating one of the three distribution centers.

Currently, the LCB operates distribution centers in Philadelphia, Scranton, and Pittsburgh.

Following receipt of the Tompkins report, the LCB decided to consolidate the Scranton and Philadelphia warehouses into one facility.

The LCB solicited bids for the consolidation, and a number of companies in the eastern part of the state expressed interest.

However, the Tompkins report and the LCB bid documents reflect a troubling theme: The LCB seems to have already decided the new warehouse should be located in the Pottstown area.

How can the LCB know the best place to put a warehouse before it gets the bids back? Competing bidders and taxpayers can only wonder whether the successful bidder was identified in advance.

Another failing in the LCB’s course of action in the analysis is the ripple effect

that could result in the loss of port jobs to New Jersey.

Twelve percent of LCB shipments arrive by oceangoing container, with the majority coming through the Port of Philadelphia. A warehouse consolidation outside the Philadelphia area could result in shipments being brought into the Port of Newark, a loss of business to New Jersey and a potential loss of jobs in Pennsylvania.

As Philadelphians, we want to see the new LCB warehouse stay here, along with the more than 100 jobs held by experienced workers at the current facility.

Philadelphia has unparalleled access to ports, railroads, and highways.

In addition, Philadelphia has more stores and higher sales than any other county in the state.

The LCB owes it to the competing bidders and to the public to put the warehouse where the best service at the best price will be provided.

This can only be accomplished by restoring basic fairness and good policy to this process.

Letters

No Nutter Fan Whether the opposition is Rendell, Katz, Green, Street, Knox, Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, Mr. Nutter should not be reelected as Mayor.

We’ve had eight years of Goode, eight years of Rendell, eight years of Street and now, quite possibly, gulp – eight years of Nutter.

Goode had his moments and was on his way to becoming one of our best Mayors, until the MOVE massacre.

“America’s Mayor” Rendell was responsible for the facelift to Center City that reenergized economic growth at the time, but not much else. Street increased needed social services, but he also had associates so corrupt they never met a kickback they didn’t like.

Now Nutter. His achievements have been so few I would have to grade them on a curve for him to get a passing grade. Too often, he looked lost and dazed, like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights of the issues.

Maybe what Philadelphia needs is a Republican Mayor. It might awaken the Democratic Party to the reality that their hibernation in which they’ve been for 30 years is over.

The Public Record • December 16, 2010

No other newspaper has given the Pennsylvania Society gathering the extensive coverage we have in the last six years we have had correspondents on the scene. The pictures seen on Pages 11 and 12 in this issue are an example of that coverage.

Those who follow the events, but cannot attend, get an insider’s view of the activities through this coverage.

The Society has a long tradition of going to New York to gather the movers and shakers of the Commonwealth and it is tough for its executives to think of moving the venue to Philadelphia.

But in these tough times, it would be smart of them to consider the move, bringing the money spent by Pennsylvanians in New York for the weekend back to Philadelphia. Our hotels are better and newer and have all the opulence found in the aging Waldorf Astoria which is the epicenter for the event. The publicity accompanying the move would do well for the Society.

It is time to kiss the tradition goodbye. And just think how less expensive it will be for those attending. For sure, the politicos who represent us in Washington, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia need to exert pressure on those major Philadelphia law firms who subsidize the Society by their attendance to begin to look at the greener pastures offered by this city.

Page 14 The Public Record • December 16, 2010 www.phillyrecord.com

Congrats to one of our favorite Philadelphia leaders, who has been spotted with a baby bump! She’s been keeping a lower profile lately, but now we know why! We wish her all the best (unless that bump isn’t what we think it is, and in that case want to change our wishes to a charge to hit the gym!).

STATE REP. RON WATERS has been making more rounds than usual, showing us an energetic side we haven’t seen before. Whether leading press conferences, speaking to community groups or showing his political smarts by working with everyone, Waters is becoming the “go-to guy” for many. Everybody likes him (which really does matter, believe it or not), he’s down to earth and is just like us: regular folks! Not to mention he has a thorough understanding and ability to articulate complex legislation and the effects it will have on Philadelphia’s various constituencies. Is he gearing up for something bigger and better in the future? We hope so. You can count on our vote!

Missing among the festivities at this year’s Pennsylvania Society in New York was outgoing Appropriations Chairman STATE REP. DWIGHT EVANS. Our prediction is while he may be on the way out, his leadership will be much needed and requested as mumbling, bumbling inexperienced folks take over.

A certain member of City Council is interested in propelling a staff member to public office. Sounds interesting, but we wonder: Has he looked at the consequences which may affect getting himself reelected! What if they get in and you’re out? Think on it before acting.

There are two events as a political commentator that I’ve never been to, and that I have the goal of attending in the New Year.

One is Congressional Black Caucus weekend. The reason for that’s kind of obvious: I’m African American, I write about politics, and I love a good party. That’s reason enough.

The other event is the annual gathering of the Pennsylvania Society. This particular hootenanny turns New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel into the center of Pennsylvania’s political universe. It brings folks from most of Pennsylvania’s various political spectrums together for a weekend of networking, deal making, and garden variety ring kissing, with the ring most kissed this year belonging to Gov.-Elect Tom Corbett.

While State politics got a lot of the shine this year, there were some Philly-centric highlights. For one, someone was handing out “Specter for Mayor” buttons, which were designed to make people consider drafting outgoing Sen. Arlen Specter as a candidate for Mayor.

My question: Which party would he run under? He was about to lose his party’s nomination as a Republican, so he became a Democrat. He lost the Democratic primary and wasn’t able to defend his seat in the General Election. Would he compete with Mayor Michael Nutter for the Democratic nomination? Would he run as a Republican? Green Party maybe? Specter himself doesn’t know, probably.

Another highlight was the fundraiser Mayor Nutter threw for his reelection bid. I’m not sure if he took the mic and started rapping, but one of the guests for this hoedown made (Cont. Page 20)

Yo! Here we go again with these memories of fluffernutters. Do you remember those great sandwiches made with peanut butter and marshmallow crème? They were an entire meal. The fluffernutter has given countless children a sugar rush. By the way, “Fluffernutter” is a registered trademark of Durkee-Mower Inc., the maker of “Marshmallow Fluff” brand marshmallow crème.

If you don’t know what a fluffernutter sandwich is or never had one, this is how to make them.

Spread peanut butter on a slice of white bread, then spread an equal amount of marshmallow fluff on another slice, then close the bread slices with peanut butter, the Fluff sides touching, forming a sandwich – and with a cold glass of milk on the side – enjoy. Variations of the recipe include wheat bread instead of white, and the addition of bananas, honey, or other ingredients that are compatible with peanut butter. If you want to super-size your Fluffernutter, add additional layers of marshmallow and peanut butter.

Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt. It was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). This special candy was reserved for the pharaohs and the gods.

Pharmacists in Paris, France extracted juice from the marshmallow plant’s roots and cooked it with egg whites and sugar, then whipped the mixture into a foamy meringue that later hardened, creating a medicinal candy used to soothe children’s sore throats. People liked the new product and started eating it like candy.

In 1910, the Limpert Brothers brought out a product called Marshmallow Fluff, which was sold to soda fountains and ice-cream parlors to put on ice-cream sundaes. Marshmallow Fluff is a blend of corn syrup, sugar, dried egg white and vanilla flavoring.

Amory and Emma Curtis didn’t invent marshmallow crème, but they popularized it for home use. Their signature product for the first 10 years of operation was called Snowflake Marshmallow Crème (later known as SMAC), the first commercially successful shelf-stable marshmallow cream.

Emma Curtis started out going door to door in Melrose, Mass. bringing samples of their marshmallow crème on crackers.

Massachusetts already has five official state foods: the baked navy bean, corn muffin, chocolate chip cookie, Boston cream pie, and Boston cream doughnut. Now they are proposing the fluffernutter as their state sandwich – all good stuff to eat. I love cheese steaks wit’, but once in a while I do enjoy a fluffernutter – how about you?

SNOOPER WARNING: To the POLICE DEPT. – I have been informed by a GANG MEMBER, while I was at 16th & CLEARFIELD at JM Mini-Market. He told me, “The Police may have stopped our Gang last week, but I’m telling all of you, it will happen again, and I can assure you it will be bigger and better than our last encounter. Go ahead and tell THE POLICE, because they haven’t got enough of them to stop our next get-together.” Chief, this guy scares me, because he also told me they have whatever it takes. He further told me THE POLICE can’t handle them because WE know ALL their moves, and we can listen to them on the radios we have.

GANGS are all over this City. Tell me Bro, “Whatcha gonna do about it”? Very interesting!

SNOOPER’S COURT’S NEWS BUREAU: The SUPREME COURT, namely, the Chief Justice, HON. RONALD CASTILLE, and JUSTICE SEAMUS McCAFFERY, have issued, and will enforce, new procedures for both MUNICIPAL COURT, and the COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. These will be implemented in order to bring both systems up to date, both CIVIL and CRIMINAL COURTS. I know HON. SETH WILLIAMS, the District Attorney, is very pleased, and he too can’t wait till all the new changes are implemented. We’ll watch it too. The District Attorney plans to open “satellite offices” around this City!

COUNCILWOMAN JANNIE BLACKWELL is sponsoring her annual Holiday Dinner for the homeless at the Pennsylvania Convention Center (ground floor) 12th & Arch Street entrance) on Monday, Dec. 20 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. This has been a long-time commitment of the Councilwoman and enjoys a lot of attention from the people being served. The Councilwoman received the support of many companies, individuals and organizations for the continuation of this festive occasion.

The Justinian Society held its annual Christmas Party at the Grand Ballroom of the Ben Franklin, 9th & Chestnut Streets, on Tuesday, Dec. 14. It was well attended and many of the judges of the Common Pleas and Municipal Court were in attendance. GINO BENEDETTI is the Chancellor and ANNETTE FERRARA is the Vice Chancellor.

Long-time JUDGE TED GUTOWICZ departed this life after a short illness. He had served with distinction in the Orphans Court for most of his judicial career. He was buried from Our Lady of Calvary Church. Among those in attendance were many of the Common Pleas judges. Despite having achieved senior status many years ago, he continued to serve.

Before taking the bench, his distinguished career included service as insurance commissioner under GOV. DAVE LAWRENCE. A portrait of the Honoree JUDGE SHELDON C. JELIN was presented to the City of Philadelphia on Tuesday, Dec. 14. There was a pleasant time in Courtroom 653 during which many of the judge’s accomplishments were featured. A reception followed in Conversation Hall.

The Criminal Justice Section of the Philadelphia Bar Association awarded its Thurgood Marshall award to ELLEN T. GREENLEE, Chief Philadelphia Defender Association.

JUDGE DENNIS COHEN and TOM FITZPATRICK were co-chairmen of the event, which was given in conjunction with the section’s annual holiday reception.

At its regular meeting, the St. Joseph’s Law Alumni Association made plans for participation in two student-activity programs, “Dinner with a Lawyer” and National Community Day. In November, the Association honored two members at their annual dinner. FRANCIS J. “HANK” RAUCCI ’58 was given the Francis J. McClanaghan Award and DR. ELWYN CHASE of the faculty was awarded the Bartholomew Sheehan Award.

‘Reign Man’ rules with cocktail crowd

by Len Lear José Garces, who has highoctane ambition but is cooler than a York Peppermint Patty, is now the reigning king of Philadelphia restaurant chef/entrepreneurs (Stephen Starr is not a chef), and as the old saying goes, “Into each reign some life must fall.” (Well, maybe it’s a new saying.) The life falling

right now is that of JG Dom e s t i c , Garces’ seventh restaurant, which opened in mid-October on the ground floor of the spectacular Cira Center, just yards from the 30th Street Train Station. And it is falling into the embrace of the cocktail crowd, boldface names and young professionals who once filled the Old City nightclubs that have since been hijacked by the bar-hoppers, meatheads and Snooki wannabes.

Garces, Philly’s own “Iron Chef” (that’s why he’s our “reign man”) who fully deserves his “itemhood” (his name pops up regularly in local gossip columns), made his reputation first as executive chef at two Stephen Starr Latin restaurants, Alma de Cuba and El Vez, before creating his own empire of Latin fusion restaurants — Amada, Chifa, Distrito, Tinto and Garces Trading Company — but his latest two ventures, Village Whiskey and now JG Domestic, both American restaurants, prove José is no one-trick pony.

One reason scene-sters have gravitated to JG Domestic is the spectacular, glitzy space that has made a hairpin turn since it was occupied by chef Daniel Stern’s Rae. “This is our best-looking restaurant,” José told us last week. JG Domestic has extremely high ceilings and magnificent columns, vertical gardens, planter boxes, a communal table that features three living trees growing

through it, and more.

Blandness is not on the menu at JG Domestic. For example, two of the innovative items on the menu are the heirloom crimson popcorn ($5) and the Maine lobster “cappuccino” with a butternut squash dumpling ($14); and Garces really wanders into the culinary outfield with the Jidori chicken (lunch, $12; dinner, $16), fried-chicken coated in cornflakes and served over chicken liver gravy, etc.

We recently were invited, along with many other guests, to a menu sampling at JG Domestic. The charcuterie ($16) — two-fisted cold cuts like prosciutto, chorizo and Moroccan lamb with stone ground mustard and sourdough slices — is a dish that verges on a vendetta against the vegetable kingdom (if that is in fact a kingdom).

A selection of domestic artisanal cheeses such as bleu cheese, triple cream and sheep’s/cow cheese from Vermont ($16) were yummy in the tummy. And it’s wicked hard to stop eating the large rectangle of wood oven flatbread — like a thin pizza crust with chanterelle mushrooms, shaved cheddar cheese, black truffle and egg yolks ($12).

After tasting the chilled heirloom baby beets (as op-

Len Lear posed to grown up beets?) with whipped crème fraîche and molasses vinaigrette ($9), I was as excited as a Bedouin shepherd seeing his first whale. And a recent study revealed that the Kabocha squash with black kale, sheep milk cheese and candied squash seeds ($10) is a spectacularly original and savory dish. (The study was conducted by the University of My Taste Buds.) An entree of prawns had a New Orleansstyle spiced tomato broth that could extend your life expectancy if you ate it every day ($20).

On the down side for us were the overly salty hickorysmoked Georgia pecans ($7), the tasteless Andouille sausage in an heirloom potato cassoulet ($8) and the toofatty Texas wild boar ($22).

Drink-wise, there is a selection of craft beers, an allAmerican wine list with 16 wines by the glass ($8–$13) and more than 50 bottles, most from California. Signature cocktails are named after historic rail routes. And there is a 3 to 7 p.m. Happy Hour offering pints for $5, wines for $6 and a selection of cocktails for just $7.

We tried a Sixpoint Pilsner on draft ($6), which we found too bitter; a glass of Chalone Chardonnay ($8), which was lacking in body and aftertaste; and Rosenblum Zinfandel ($8), which was lush and bursting with flavor. I would gladly buy several bottles of this modestly priced find.

There is a parking garage and an outdoor parking lot next to JGDomestic. The price to park is a ridiculous $21, although you can reduce it to $12 by requesting a discount ticket at the hostess’ desk. Unfortunately, we saw no signs anywhere indicating this.

JGDomestic’s actual address is 2929 Arch Street. It is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and dinner only on Saturday. It is closed Sunday. More information at (215) 222-2363 or www.jgdomestic.com.

(Cont. From Page 14) the paper: Sharif Street.

Now you’re probably asking, why is it worth noting the young Mr. Street, the son of former Mayor John Street and a two-time City Council candidate who lost one election due to his Uncle Milton’s refusal to remove himself from the ballot, attended this particular gathering?

Maybe it’s notable because Street the Senior has had nothing but bad things to say about his successor. From snide remarks regarding everything from his “blackness” to his ability to lead, Mayor Street has voiced his displeasure with Mayor Nutter in large gatherings and in front of open microphones.

That these large gatherings are comprised of the very people Mayor Nutter is going to need to be reelected, namely PhiladelCITY HALL SAM phia’s mostly African American (Cont. From Page 14) population, makes things that The Friendly Sons of St. much harder for an incumbent that Blacks have had their issues with Patrick enjoyed their annual … especially when the discussion Christmas Party on Pearl Harbor Day (Dec. 7), and of is police power.

I would really love it if one day the Street family would invite me to a holiday dinner. I’ll bet the conversations around the dinner table are fascinating.

But while the action was hot and heavy in terms of State politics and next year’s City Council and Mayoral races here in Philly, I wondered one thing: Who’s paying for this stuff?

In a time where the State itself is going broke, and we’re about to put an administration into office that believes people can actually live off of unemployment, is this trip really necessary?

For one thing, why are the Pennsylvania Society meetings being held in New York, one of the most expensive cities in the world? Are $400 dinners really responsible for a society representing a state that has 10+% unemployment?

The rich have always been different from you and me … now I know the politicians are too.

The cold, cold weather reminds us the winter is fast approaching (the first day of winter is officially Dec. 21) but it sure feels like it’s already here. As we prepare for Christmas, and are enjoying all the holidays, let us say a prayer of gratitude for all our gifts, and a special prayer for our troops and all who are in harm’s way.

Peace, love and joy to all.

Joe Grace made it official this week. As reported in the Philadelphia Public Record earlier, he will repeat a run he took seven years ago, for City Council.

He kicks off his campaign Tuesday, Dec. 21 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Liberties Restaurant and Bar at 705 N. 2nd Street.

He stated, “For a lifelong son of the city, it was a tremendous experience. I didn’t win that first race, but my candidacy was well received by citizens and pundits alike for the depth of its energy and the quality of its ideas.”

Grace will be running for the 1st Council Dist., “a few years older and, I hope, a whole lot wiser, based on the public service I’ve done and the causes for which I have been fighting.”

In the interim, he has served as executive director of CeaseFire PA, helped draft legislation to strengthen the City’s campaignfinance laws. From 2005 to 2008, he served as communications director for Mayor John F. Street.

supporting these three programs.”

The funding was distributed by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. There were 159 grants totaling more than $2.7 million to support arts programs throughout Philadelphia.

State Sen. Mike Stack this week announced three local programs received State funding to support their efforts to promote and maintain the arts in Northeast Philadelphia.

They are Dance Affiliates, located at 4701 Bath Street, received nearly $17,973 in funding; Kardon Institute for Arts Therapy, located at 10700 Knights Road, received $16,105 in funding; and Philadelphia Chinese Opera Society, located at 2653 Sperry Street, received $1,781 in funding.

“Our city offers numerous programs that focus on the arts, and they deserve support in order to keep them in our communities,” Stack said.

“I’m pleased the state is helping to foster the arts in Northeast Philadelphia by

Next I had to make an appearance over at The Parking Authority’s Adjudication Bureau and it turned out to be a very enjoyable visit. I had to see MS. MOODY, and let me tell you, MR. FENERTY, she is what professionalism is all about, and quite a Lady. She gives everyone the opportunity to state their case, and she then reviews all your evidence you present. Now she accumulates everything, and then she makes her decision immediately. Yes, there should be more like this LADY, who is surrounded by other PROFESSIONALS. I was very happy with her decision in my case. Really great!

SNOOPER’S “RUMOR MILL”: We must dispel the latest rumor concerning the Judge, HON. GERALD KOSINSKI. A few of his friends told me he is in hiding because The Phillies have traded his beloved JAYSON WERTH to the lowly Washington Senators. NOT TRUE. The Snooper has found out The Judge is actually “rehabbing’; after all, he just got himself A NEW KNEE. Whew, first a HIP and now a KNEE. Hey Judge, what will happen next, because now your friends know why

you’ve been away and NOT HIDING! See you soon Judge! Yes, this Judge is definitely “THE TRIVIA KING” of Philadelphia. The Best!

SNOOPER’S UPDATE: This came by way of my EMAIL SERVICES. I can still remember him while I was in COURTROOM D over at 34 S.11th Street. I’m referring to one of the best Judges I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, HON. MORT KRASE – MUNICIPAL COURT. He told me many stories about his days at the UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA and, of course, being on WIP RADIO with Angelo Cataldi and the rest of that gang. Let me tell you, the Judge was an ardent Philly sports fan and he loved all our teams. The Phillies and 76ers were his favorites. He was ‘one of a kind’, and one who really cared about people and our City!
