Most of the events are held at Keenan’s, which over many summers has grown into a blocklong operation able to handle several gatherings at the same time. Helping pack Keenan’s was a turnout of North Catholic, Norcoms, alumni, reliving a cherished history that is no longer.

Charter A Problem?
(Cont. From Page 9 erally against multiple subjects in each case. Remember how loud was the outcry when Superintendant Arlene Ackerman’s salary cracked $500,000 and her golden parachute topped $600,000? Yet she was running more than 200 schools, whereas her charter colleague Hairston Brown was running just four – for about the same money. What’s more, Ackerman’s pay, while obnoxious to many, was at least legal. Charter-school scandals reek of lawlessness. Fourteen other Philadelphia charter schools have been under federal investigation in recent years. Officials of two charter schools have been sentenced to prison. DEP’s OIG only investigates when there are allegations of misused federal funds, rather than just state or local funds, and additional scandals have come to light since the report, so these numbers may just be the tip of the iceberg. They certainly have been growing in Philadelphia. It is time to ask if an educational model that seems tailor-made
for private skimming operations is the best way to lead our children to the light.
2000, Aichele couldn’t provide any. None. In fact, she admitted later, “I don’t know what the law says,” according to KYW Newsradio’s Cherri Gregg. She later admitted she doesn’t really know how many folks actually need IDs, but is sticking to Gov. Corbett’s contention 99% of the Commonwealth has ID and is ready to vote.

In case you’re wondering, that’s the same Gov. Corbett who couldn’t tell you what’s in the law … and he signed it. Think about this a moment. You have the person who signed the bill into law and the person expected to enforce said law admitting that they don’t know what’s in the law. Really? This should be fun.

(Cont. From Page 12) While her personal hardship was the result of someone committing a crime, Applewhite believes that this will be a hardship for people of color in particular. “There’s a whole lot of [people unable to access their birth certificates],” she said. “A whole gang of them, believe me when I tell you. And it’s going to cripple a whole lot of people in the Black race because they don’t have it.” In the interview with ThompsonMediaman Communications, Applewhite echoed the sentiments of a growing number of people who believe that the sole purpose of this law is to ensure the United States gets a new President in November. Thanks to proclamations like the one State Rep. Mike Turzai made to the Pennsylvania Republican Convention promising the law would help Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney defeat Pres-
ident Barack Obama in Pennsylvania this November, Applewhite believes the purpose for the law is to make sure a certain segment of the population is kept from the polls. Applewhite said, “I think when they made this law they did it to cripple the black race so that [President] Obama can’t get back in there. I don’t think it’s got a thing to do with voter fraud. This is all to get Obama out of the White House.” There was a time I might have agreed with Applewhite this is the case in Pennsylvania, but now I’m not so sure. Why? Because most conspiracies require planning and intelligence. And if what Aichele said under oath on Tuesday is any indication of the mindset of the folks who put the voter-ID thing together, these are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. When asked under oath for details of the law that she is not only championing, but is telling folks is necessary thanks to her consternation at the debacle that was Florida

(Cont. From Page 12) STATE REP. MARIA DONATUCCI commended Commonwealth Court for declaring portions of the Shale Oil Law unconstitutional! The court is hearing the VOTER I.D. case brought by the ACLU. How about the state official who said the state will start a voter education drive on the I.D. AFTER LABOR DAY. That is TOO SHORT a time to reach all those needing reaching and costly! What happened to BEFORE Labor Day and MEMORIAL DAY?? My ratings of some government offices are: CORBETT: He should step down. Supreme Court: 9%, Commonwealth Court 67%, GOP Legislative leaders: 15%.... REP. DONATUCCI marched on CITY HALL with City Firefighters. ROB DUBOW, finance director, said the City cannot afford to pay their small pay increase. Yet the Probation officers got their raise? Local 22 did endorse Milton STREET for Mayor. Is this a factor?? IS IT TRUE the City will try to declare Judge Leon
TUCKER’S ruling MOOT or NULL AND VOID? Since the defendants’ PARKING tickets were discharged by B.A.A. before the Common Pleas hearing. So there was no matter before the judge. BUT the case was before the judge. It was not brought up then? A case WAS before Judge Tucker. And judges know the right to question the ticket writer, or write a specific address on a ticket, or get a written reason for your BAA conviction, happens all the time in courts across the land. It is a sacred right; THOSE RIGHTS MUST STAND so long as BAA is located within the borders of the United States.
