Johnson told residents, SPC entered an agreement On Jun. 4, 2013, with Air Management Services to prevent explosions and associated violations at the facility.

SPC must notify the City if it is to cease operation of the shredder at the facility by Sep. 10. If the shredder is to be shutdown, all shredder operations will cease by Oct. 1, Johnson said.

However, if the shredder keeps humming, SPC must have the shredder enclosed by Dec. 1 to eliminate any risk of excessive noise and vibrations.

Johnson said SPC has agreed to pay significant financial penalties in the event that it fails to abide by the Agreement, or if there are any additional noise or related violations.

Under the agreement, SPC can temporarily operate under the existing permit for a limited time to allow SPC time to make the various upgrades to the shredder facility, or decide to cease operation of the shredder.

Why Back-Pain Sufferers Often Make 7 Mistakes

Back pain is one of the most common health issues in the United States, with up to 80% of the population suffering the condition at some point in one’s life.

“But this exceedingly high number is just the beginning of the problem, because multiple studies indicate roughly 70% of back surgeries fail,” says Jesse Cannone, a backpain expert and author of The 7-Day Back Pain Cure, (www.losethebackpain.com).

“It’s so common that there’s a name for it – failed back surgery syndrome, or FBSS.” One recent study monitored 1,450 patients in the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation database; half of those on disability endured back surgery, half did not. After two years, only 26% of those who had surgery returned to work.

Additionally, 41% of those who had surgery saw a drastic increase in painkiller use.

“The success rate for the most common treatments is pathetically low, so it’s no surprise people often struggle years or decades with back pain, with few ever finding lasting relief,” Cannone says.

“The majority of back surgeries are not only ineffective, but most could have been completely avoided.”

He reviews seven common mistakes made by back-pain sufferers: • Continuing a treatment that doesn’t work: One of Cannone’s clients experienced 70 treatments with a chiropractor, resulting in no relief.

“Here’s a general rule to follow,” he says. “If you see no improvement after going through a three-month period of treatment, consider making a change.”

• Failing to solve the problem the first time: Take pain seriously the first time. Cannone’s own mother suffered a

significant bout of back pain, which subsided after a few days. But two years later it came back, and the second time was so debilitating she couldn’t work. “If she had taken the first bout more seriously, she probably would have prevented the second, more debilitating bout.”

• Thinking you’re too healthy or fit to have back pain: Staying in shape is always a good idea, but it does not make you invulnerable.

People who train their body can be more prone to back pain because they often push their body’s limits, says Cannone, who has been a personal fitness trainer since 1998.

• Treating only the symptoms: Cortisone shots, anti-inflammatory drugs, ultrasound and electrical stimulation only address pain symptoms. “You may get rid of the pain, but the problem causing the pain will persist if not addressed,” he says. “If you want lasting relief, you must address the underlying causes, and it’s never just one.”

• Not understanding that back pain is a process: In most cases, back pain, neck pain and sciatica take weeks, months or even years to develop; the problem may exist for quite a while before the sufferer notices it, except for rare one-time trauma incidents like automobile accidents.

Most people sit for hours at a time, yet the body was developed for diverse movements throughout the day. “Think of a car with steering out of alignment; eventually, tires will wear down unevenly and there will be a blow out,” Cannone says. “The same is true with your body.” Just as the damage was a process, recovery is the same and can be time-intensive.

• Believing there are no more options left: Not only

does back pain hurt and prove physically debilitating; it also tries the morale and determination of the patient. A sufferer can run the gamut of treatments. But, often, it takes a cocktail of treatments that address all of the underlying causes. “Remember, you can’t really treat the root of pain until you know what’s causing it,” Cannone says.

“In so many cases, this is precisely the problem.”

• Failing to take control: Doctors and other specialists are ultimately limited to what they know and what they’re used to. If you have a debilitating back problem, it should be among your top priorities to learn all you can about it, and how to fix it. Get a second, third and fourth opinion if treatment isn’t working; try out alternative therapies, and consider a healthy mix of treatment. Most importantly, take control; it’s your back, your body and only you can heal it, with help from others.

“I may be critical of how most handle back pain, but that’s because I’ve proven to patients that there are flaws in the traditional approaches as well as more effective alternatives,” Cannone says. “I also feel that I’m offering a hopeful message because of my high success rate in helping to cure the back pain from my clients.”

Jesse Cannone is a leading back pain expert with a high rate of success for those he consults. He has been a personal trainer since 1998, specializing in finding root causes for chronic pain, and finding solutions with a multidiscipline approach. Cannone publishes the free email newsletter “Less Pain, More Life,” read by more than 400,000 worldwide, and he is the creator of Muscle Balance Therapy™.

The Health Care Record The science is in, and it’s indisputable. Green coffee is the kind of all-natural breakthrough you see maybe once or twice in a generation.

That’s why green coffee is being promoted to those who want to maintain healthy blood pressure for life.

When Japanese researchers recently tested the blood-pressure effects of green-coffee extracts, the results were

shocking.

What about side effects?

None. In fact, the Japanese researchers reported, “There were no apparent side effects.”

A second human study confirmed the remarkable results … and took it one step further.

In a separate study of 117 patients, researchers reported similar results for blood pressure.

They also reported the more

Green Coffee Beans Good For Arteries green-coffee extracts the test subjects took, the healthier their blood pressure. Again, the results were reported in one of the world’s most-respected medical journals.

The nutrients discussed in this report help protect your body’s precious supply of nitric oxide —which relaxes and opens your arteries for healthier blood flow. They help keep your blood vessels smooth and

flexible.

The secret lies deep inside your arteries, blood vessels and even your heart. If you could shrink yourself down to the size of a molecule and travel through an artery, the first thing you’d notice is what scientists call the endothelium.

The endothelium is the smooth, supple lining inside every blood vessel in your body — from the largest arteries to

the teeny, tiny blood vessels in the far reaches of your body.

When you were young, and your nitric-oxide levels were high, your endothelium probably looked smooth as silk and just as supple.

But as you age, your nitric oxide levels start falling and your endothelial cells begin to age, too.

Over time, your arteries would begin to become less flexible. The result? It may be harder to maintain healthy blood pressure.

But it doesn’t have to be that way for you — thanks to the ground-breaking research of three Nobel Prize-winners, and recent research into the health benefits of green coffee.

The secret to green coffee’s power is connected to the availability of nitric oxide to your endothelial cells.

It’s really quite simple. In 1998, three Nobel Prize-winning scientists, Robert F.

Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad, discovered nitric oxide, a natural substance in your body, actually signals your endothelial cells to “relax” and open up your blood vessels.

The result? Healthy blood flow and normal blood pressure. But how can you make more nitric oxide available to your arteries and blood vessels?

That’s where green coffee comes in. In one study, researchers observed people with healthy blood pressure have more nitric oxide available to nourish their endothelial cells — and help maintain healthy blood pressure.

The solution? Green coffee extracts. Inside your body, this remarkable substance helps protect your body’s natural supply of nitric oxide so your blood vessels can “open wide” and keep your blood pressure right where your doctor (and you) want it.

Garlic Proves Its Worth

Garlic, the odorous bulb that's probably in your kitchen right now, has been important in both food and medicine dating back to ancient Egypt, but its most important role may be in fighting one of modern man's most dreaded diseases — cancer. Recent research has found that compounds in garlic can cut cancer risks by as much as two-thirds.

According to the National Cancer Institute, which is a part of the National Institutes of Health, several studies have shown that garlic cut the risk of several forms of cancer by 50% or more. And garlic also helps prevent heart disease and diabetes, and it in addition generally boosts the immune system.

Add generous amounts of garlic to your home-cooked dishes — or take garlic supplements — to fight the following ailments: • Cancer. Recent research has found garlic contains more than 30 organosulphur compounds, many with excit-

ing anti-cancer properties.

One is an organosulphur compound called diallyl trisulfide, which fights cancer by preventing, killing, or blocking the growth and spread of cancerous cells. Some studies have suggested that garlic inhibits the development and progression of prostate, breast, colon, stomach, bladder, esophageal, and skin cancers in test tubes and in animals. One study conducted at the University of North Carolina found that people who eat garlic cut their risk of colorectal cancer by twothirds.

According to The National Cancer Institute, garlic can lower the risk of pancreatic cancer by 54%, prostate cancer by 50%, colon cancer by 50% and stomach cancer by 52%. Some studies show even greater benefits: One study conducted at the University of North Carolina found that people who eat garlic cut their risk of colorectal cancer by two-thirds.

University of Illinois Reports Findings In Prostate Cancer According to news reporting originating from Chicago, Illinois, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Clinical trials and animal studies have suggested that lycopene, the red carotenoid found in tomatoes, might be useful for the prevention of prostate cancer in the diet or as a dietary supplement through a variety of chemoprevention mechanisms. As most mecha-

nism of action studies have used prostate cancer cells or males with existing prostate cancer, we investigated the effects of lycopene on protein expression in human primary prostatic epithelial cells.”

A quote from the research from the University of Illinois stated, “After treatment with lycopene at a physiologically relevant concentration (2 mu mol/L) or placebo for 48

hours, the primary prostatic epithelial cells were lysed and fractionated using centrifugation into cytosolic/membrane and nuclear fractions. Proteins from lycopene-treated and placebo-treated cells were trypsinized and derivatized for quantitative proteomics using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) reagent. Peptides were analyzed using two-dimensional

microcapillary high-performance liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry to identify proteins that were significantly upregulated or downregulated following lycopene exposure. Proteins that were most affected by lycopene were those involved in antioxidant responses, cytoprotection, apoptosis, growth inhibition, androgen receptor signaling, and the Akt/mTOR

The Health Care Record cascade.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded:,“These data are consistent with previous studies suggesting that lycopene can prevent cancer in human prostatic epithelial cells at the stages of cancer initiation, promotion, and/or progression.”

Weight Loss Helps Control Diabetes

by Dr. Mark Stengler You hear it from your doctor. You hear it from your friends. You even hear it from your spouse. You hear it so often that instead of wellmeaning advice it starts to sound like nagging … so you tune it out. Don’t.

The advice is to lose some weight, and it's not just nagging. It’s life-changing and even life-saving advice.

If you don’t have diabetes, weight loss can help make sure you don’t get it. And if you already have the disease, it’s even more important than ever to drop those extra pounds -because weight loss is the single most effective way to slow the disease and even reverse some of the damage.

And now, new research backs the benefits of weight loss in diabetics in a big way, showing how diabetics who lose about 9% of their body weight and keep 6% off for a decade are less likely to develop kidney disease, vision problems and depression than a control group.

The new study shows how weight loss can also help control blood-sugar levels and reduce your medication.

Most importantly, weight loss can decrease your risk of hospitalization and increase

your overall quality of life, according to the study of more than 5,000 obese diabetics assigned to either weight loss or counseling sessions.

The only surprise here is that weight loss didn't do much to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke among patients in the study -- but that may be more because of how they lost their weight and kept it off.

The program in the study consisted of calorie counting and, at times, meal replacement drinks. While these types of diets can be effective at weight loss, they’re not necessarily the best ways to get the nutrients you need for heart protection.

In fact, a strict calorie-control diet can actually allow for junk foods and other unhealthy treats as long as they're within your daily allotment -- and those low-nutrition foods can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and more even if you’re at a normal weight and even if you’re not diabetic.

So lose the weight -- but do it with a diet that’s proven to lower the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Limit saturated fats, avoid processed foods and junk foods and make sure you get plenty of the omega-3 fatty acids.

poll from Monmouth University also found Christie is viewed favorably among all political groups, but generates less excitement among the GOP base than other prominent Republicans.

In the Quinnipiac survey, the House and Senate’s top politicians came in dead last: Nancy Pelosi at 38.4, Mitch McConnell at 37.5, John Boehner at 36.7 and Harry Reid at 33.8.

Republican pollster Whit Ayres finds GOP voters back immigration reform. Twothirds will support a path to citizenship as long as the conditions are strict and rigorous.

One-third won’t in any case.

The Public Record • August 8, 2013

by Joe Shaheeli No prophet seems to be popular in his own camp nationally and this is true of maverick Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who does not motivate hardcore Republicans in a possible presidential primary. However, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, “Christie’s continuing popularity among independents and Democrats makes him one of the nation’s best-liked politicians even.”

Christie was rated at 53.1 degrees, the “hottest” of all the people polled. Hillary Clinton, one degree behind, was the only other politician to score above 50. Although Christie scored a healthy 59.8% among GOP voters, that figure put him eighth out of 12 Republicans in the poll, behind Congressman Paul Ryan (Wis.), Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.), Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Rand Paul (RKy.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.) A second Monday-morning

Problem facing Kenyatta is he needs to follow up on numerous complaints received about such vacant lots and homes in his District.

Feibush claims he has cleaned over 40 lots, possibly earning the respect of those neighbors. It is reported voters in the District are pushing him to challenge Johnson in the next Council primary.

Johnson’s office says the Councilman’s team has been vigorous in dealing with vacant-lot complaints. Kenyatta staffer Steve Cobb was

quoted as saying Johnson’s team is continually forwarding complaints to the City’s Community Life Improvement Program, as well as organizing volunteer cleanups, working with residents to convert vacant space into parkland and moved to sell some lots.

Maybe it’s time for Johnson to give Feibush a hand in building on many of those problem vacant sites. It could solve both an economic and a political problem.

Our Opinion Nudging City Forward

Another Opinion Mayor Sidesteps His Duty

responsible demolition in Center City only made him look culpably negligent as it was apparently an admission that some fundamental life-safety requirements were not part of current L & I practice. Bear in mind this Mayor campaigned on, and put into effect, a major restructuring of L & I. But ongoing frustration that accompanies negotiations with the firefighters and city-employee unions of District Councils 33 and 47 needs to be moved to the public arena and the Mayor, not onto his Finance Dir. Rob Dubow. The Mayor must take responsibility for dragging this out through two terms and at the same time biting the hands that fed him. I cannot argue all the merits of the unions’ or the City’s position, but I can state my views as a citizen and taxpayer of Philadelphia, and in that vein it is quite clear that it is just irresponsible to not find a way to signed contracts six years after taking office and being elected as a reform (Cont.

by Jim Foster, Editor/Publisher, Germantown Newspapers Tony West’s summary in the Public Record of the stillstalemated city labor negotiations (“3 Hard Issues Keep City Labor Talks Stuck,” Aug. 1) should be seen for what it really represents: another blatant example of a Mayor who has become an embarrassment. The often-disappearing man finds lots of reasons to spend time in other cities and countries “studying” how they deal with one issue or another, while the effects of his programs and neglect of essential responsibility here only festers.

When one signs onto the job of running the fourthlargest city in the nation, and one with all the urban challenges of the nation’s oldest large city, you have to be ready to deal responsibly with long- and short-term problems and commitments.

Don’t say no!

We’ve the right man to move the City from its present crisis mode into looking toward future growth in a big way. That man is Congressman Bob Brady, also chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee.

His proposal this week to position Philadelphia into a bid for the 2016 Democratic National Convention comes at a most-opportune moment. We are a city seemingly in an economic free fall.

Brady understood this as he met with Democratic leaders from the bedroom counties as well as members of City Council and the General Assembly. Based on what was learned from the results of hosting the 2000 Republican National Convention, Philadelphia will be able to do its share in making this happen.

We are pleased Brady has taken upon himself to lead the move. He’s the only guy few can dare say no to.

TO: Caswin Toby A Petition has been filed asking the court to put an end to all rights you have to your child Baby Boy Thomas aka Zachary Aiden Thomas who was born on 5/15/13 at Hospital of University of PA Philadelphia PA, as well as any rights H.T. has to Baby Boy Thomas aka Zachary Aiden Thomas.

The court has set a hearing to consider ending your rights to your child. That hearing will be held on September 12, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. at Court Room 14, One Montgomery Plaza, Orphan's Court Division, Swede Street, Norristown, PA 19404 before Judge Ott. You are warned thrat even if you fail to appear at the scheduled hearing the hearing will go on without you and your rights to your child as well as the rights of H.T. to that child may be ended by the court without your being present. You have a right to be represented at the hearing by a lawyer. You should take this paper to your lawyer at once. If you do not have a lawyer or cannot afford one, go to or telephone the office set forth below to find out where you can get legal help.

filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. The United States bankruptcy code provides that even a city may file for bankruptcy protection under 11 USC 9.

News commentators have been buzzing about what this bankruptcy means for the rest of the country. Unlike consumer bankruptcies, which numbered in the millions in 2005, there have been fewer than 500 municipal bankruptcies filed since the 1930s when the bankruptcy code was amended to allow municipalities to file bankruptcy under Chapter 9.

Section 109(c) of the Bankruptcy Code outlines eligibility requirements for a municipality to file for chapter 9 bankruptcy protection: the main issues will be the following: 1. Whether Detroit is authorized under Michigan law or whether an official of Detroit’s city government has the power to file a bankruptcy. Detroit’s Emergency Mgr. Kevyn Orr filed the Chapter 9 bankruptcy which was approved by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. A Michigan state court judge has already ruled that the bankruptcy filing is an unconstitu-

tional attempt to tamper with government workers’ pension benefits.

2. Whether the filing is in good faith or an attempt to stop a court action which prevented the City from being able to get rid of union contracts, pensions and whether the proposed plan filed by Orr to pay merely 17% of what the City owes is a reasonable plan of reorganization.

Most experts predict a ripple effect on consumers as Detroit residents are impacted, followed

by Michigan residents and then the economy. Orr’s reorganization plan provides that $9.5 billion of Detroit’s $11.5 billion in unsecured debt be eliminated – in order to be able to provide better services and to continue to pay its bills. However, most of that $9.5 billion is part of benefits associated with pensions and retirement, including health care benefits for retirees and is required by the current union contracts.

Detroit’s Chapter 9 bankruptcy will have a definite impact on consumers as the City will attempt to renegotiate those pension benefits and health care benefits with other benefits being impacted as a result.

by Tom Flynn and Rocco DeGregorio Question: I have a 1999 Ford F-150 XLT 8Cyl5 with a 4L engine. It has high idle speed when starting, then after 30 seconds this stops and runs normally. It now has a knocking noise coming from front of the engine and it squeals when making left-hand turns like metal on metal. Also I can hear an air hiss noise from top of engine.

There are no warning lights on. What could be the problem?

Answer: Reader, The problem could depend on mileage and oil pressure.

High miles and diminishing oil pressure are usually a sign of worn main/rod bearings. If you remove sparkplug wires one at a time and when/if the knocking noise is reduced or disappears, then that’s the location of a worn bearing.

A worn wrist pin is usually a double knock.

The hissing noise is more

than likely a vacuum hose or air-intake hose (tube leading to throttle body) that is leaking.

Check the lines and hose thoroughly. Also, check the hose that leads to the brake booster; there’s a check valve, either in line with this hose or attached to the brake booster, that can go bad.

Vacuum leak causes high idle and so does the IAC valve (idle control solenoid). It is bolted to or near the throttle body. Remove it and clean with carb cleaner; blow dry with air compressor before reinstalling.

If you are not good at DIY, I would recommend bringing it into our Ford service department to have a Ford-certified technician take a look at it.

by Michael P. Boyle, Esq. The Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains a well-designed and very-helpful website. I urge you to check it out by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/.

Given that budget shortfalls have limited the hours Social Security district offices are open to the public, going online represents the best way in most cases to get the information you need about your entitlement to benefits. You may now apply online for retirement, disability, survivors, and Medicare benefits.

You may complete a disability application online, along with a Disability Report.

For SSI benefits, you may complete the Disability Report online, but you still must schedule an appointment in person in order to complete an application. If SSA denies

your initial application, you may file an appeal of that denial online.

If you need information about the location of the district office nearest to you, you can find this online. SSA also allows you to estimate your retirement benefits online. You may also download various forms or publications from the SSA website. The website also tells you how to go about getting or replacing a lost Social Security card.

SSA has also instituted a new mobile site for smartphone users.

I recommend also that you take a look at the website maintained by the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives, at www.nosscr.org/. NOSSCR is an advocacy group funded by attorneys and non-attorney (Cont. Page 22)

Last Friday night, Philadelphia Republicans held its first annual barbecue and pool party, organized by Republican City Committee staffers ANNIE HAVEY and CARMELLA FITZGERALD. The event was held at 69th & and Greenway from 5 to 10 p.m. and was free of charge to attendees owing to the largess of a 20-plus host committee including WARD LEADERS MIKE CIBIK, MATT WOLFE, DENISE FUREY, RICK HELLBERG, JIM DINTINO, AGNES (CHUCKIE) TILLEY and VINCE FENERTY. Former RCC CHAIRMAN VITO CANUSO and current General Counsel MIKE MEEHAN were also members of the host committee. Candidates DAN ALVAREZ for District Attorney and TERRY TRACY for City Controller briefly addressed the crowd. Havey, coordinator of the event, estimates 200 people came to the barbecue.

Please note this event is not replacing the annual Billy Meehan Clambake, which will be held at Cannstatter on Academy Road on Aug. 25.

I spent last week in Orlando, Florida at the National Association of Black Journalists convention.

Almost every year, I go to wherever NABJ is to learn some stuff, connect with people, visit someplace I’ve never been before and otherwise hang out among the members of an organization that counts local journalistic icons like the Inquirer’s Acel Moore and WURD’s Reggie Bryant as founders.

This year, I learned a few things about journalistic ethics in the internet age as it applies to pictures.

But what I found most interesting were the workshops on the School to Prison Pipeline by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the one on funding priorities related to children by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Both of these topics spend a lot of time on the minds of the citizens of Philadelphia, because we have a lot of kids who find themselves on the School to Prison Pipeline, because we’d rather spend money on stadiums, concert halls, and other places than put it toward schools.

(And don’t even get me started on the tax breaks we’ve given to folks like Comcast, the natural-gas fracking folks, and others.)

Since the School District of Philadelphia has closed more than 20 schools this year and we’re about to start a new school year where kids are going to be trying to negotiate their way in new schools, this whole funding thing is kind of important.

Especially since one thing directly connects to the other.

Despite what folks have been trying to tell us for years, money and education go hand in hand. You can’t give a kid (Cont. Page 21)

Well-respected 66A WARD LEADER FRANK DILLON passed away last week. His wisdom and advice helped many candidates navigate Philadelphia’s political machine. His political partner was 66B WARD LEADER MIKE MCALEER. They worked together as Ward Leaders for over 30 years and helped turn around the Democrats’ fortunes in the Far Northeast.

Frank is survived by his son SHAWN, who succeeded him as Ward Leader. Also surviving is his loving wife JOAN and his children JACQUELINE and JAMES, 11 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Many people are expected to pack Givnish Funeral Home and Our Lady of Calvary Church to pay their respects. Godspeed, Frank … we will miss you.

Another solemn event was held at the Bridge Street PennDOT Maintenance Shed this week to name a portion of I-95 after Officers CHARLES O’HANLON and BRIAN LORENZO. Both Officers O’Hanlon and Lorenzo died in the line of duty on I-95. Their bravery, strength and courage will be forever memorialized by large signs along I-95 where they lost their lives too soon.

The O’Hanlon and Lorenzo families spoke about their loved ones. Their strength and words provided great comfort to the large crowd of over 60 officers at the event. Remarks were given by FOP PRESIDENT JOHN McNESBY, MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER, Police COMMISSIONER CHARLES RAMSEY, FOP RECORDING SECRETARY BOB BALLENTINE and STATE SEN. MIKE STACK. CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY and STATE REP. BRENDAN BOYLE sent representatives to the ceremony. Stack authored legislation to name the portion of I-95 North and South between Aramingo Avenue and Academy Road after the fallen officers.

The State and City are playing a classic game of ping-pong with school funding. While the State and City point fingers at each other, the likely loser will be dedicated school employees who get pink slips and students who will have fewer resources to succeed in school. The State took over the School District with the creation of the SRC, but GOV. TOM CORBETT is not providing the same level of funding to the schools like his predecessor GOVS. MARK SCHWEIKER and ED RENDELL. Corbett should know this issue is too important for politics and ideology. It’s time for everyone to get together to create long-lasting governance and funding solutions for the Philadelphia School District.

“As a city, we find ourselves in trying times to say the least with single party control of City Hall. A lack of political and intellectual competition has wreaked havoc on our neighborhoods.

We must put an end to kneejerk tax hikes. We can no longer afford to reel from crisis to crisis. Accountability is key to effective, responsive government.”

O’Brien believes it gives formerly disenfranchised Republicans by City Hall and the national GOP a chance to voice their opinions and suggestions.

O’Brien’s website is oriented toward blue-collar Philadelphians and is socially tolerant and pro-union.

These parcels generate stormwater runoff managed by the City and therefore should be reasonably charged for such service. These current noncustomers include parking lots, utility right of ways and vacant land. Current largemeter customers have recognized this discrepancy, and in prior rate hearings have demanded that we charge parcels, such as parking lots, to share the burden of storm water management.”

He continued, “PWD is very sensitive to the needs of our customers, especially those that are realizing significant increases in their costs of stormwater service. We initiated a number of actions and programs, including: phasing in the new fees over a fouryear period to lessen the immediate burden on customers’ budgets; initiating a commercial-customer service unit

It’s not a good pipeline to send our kids through, but it’s the one we seem to not mind paying for. Although it costs a lot less to educate kids than it does to jail adults, we seem to be all for paying for that.

Before he “blew up L & I” (his own campaign promise), hired 32 czars and focused on second-tier social issues, the Mayor has a primary obligation to do the City’s fundamental business and do it efficiently. If he had planned to make labor contracts his major focus, was willing to spend six years and countless city dollars on a form of “High Noon” with the unions, he should have made that a stated campaign issue. These negotiations now need to be forced into the sunlight and the true costs of all aspects, long and short term, become part of the process.

(Cont. From Page 14) ACLU and other groups opposed to the law on the grounds that the law violated the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Constitution. The case is pending before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and a decision may not come down prior to this year’s elections in November, but if it does, the Corbett Administration agreed not require that voters to produce Identification this November. The Commonwealth, during last year’s November election and this year’s primary, has been instructing poll workers to ask for identification, but not require it. The latest ACLU suit is asking the courts prohibit poll workers from even asking.

An Indiana voter-ID law that is substantially similar to Pennsylvania’s withstood numerous legal challenges. Ultimately, the US Supreme Court found the Indiana law does not violate the US Constitution.

Liberals claim voter-ID laws are aimed at suppressing minority voting. They believe asking someone to produce

identification is the same as Jim Crow laws that attempted to disqualify African American voters through restrictions that included literacy requirements. To counter these abuses, the Voting Rights Act was passed 48 years ago this week. The law applied to a number of Southern states that had a history of suppressing African American voters’ rights. Asserting that asking someone to verify that they are who they claim to be is the same as the odious Jim Crow laws … is a push. We need to produce identification to enter most government and privatesector buildings. We are frequently asked for ID when we use our credit cards for our protection against fraud. How many people do you know that do not have identification?

The Pennsylvania law also has special provisions for the elderly who are in the class most likely not to have ID. Georgia, a state that is subject to the Voting Rights Act, has a voter-ID law. Strangely, and contrary to what the liberals want you to believe, minority voting increased in Georgia after the passing of its voterID law.

Ken WASHINGTON, Political Director of the LABORERS’ District Council, and Command Sergeant Major Jeff HILL both celebrate on the 18th!

LABOR from JOE DOC, Jr.: Good news is Temple Hos-

pital nurses’ and techs’ labor issues are resolved. Hotels in our state pay the 4th-lowest wages of any hotels in the nation....

3,500 US AIR Mechanics can vote on unionization....WALMART and fast-food workers press their fight for a decent wage. Olive Garden workers are asking a minimum-wage increase.... BE ADVISED Hostess cakes are back but they are not hiring back the UNION WORKERS. Pier One Imports HAD a dispute with CARPENTERS LOCAL 255 over new store construction.

There IS NEW FEDERAL MONEY for Fire Commissioner Lloyd AYERS to HIRE more firemen and buy equipment!... WHAT a fair and reasonable RESOLUTION for the TRAFFIC COURT candidates’ lawsuit could be: The nominees should be placed on the ballot, and winners SEATED AS JUDGES. And no HIRED hearing officers should have ANY connection to Sen. PILEGGI. Mike FERA, retired leader of the CEMENT MASONS, is

now Manager of the Joe HAND Boxing Club next to FINNIGAN’S WAKE. Say Hello to him there.... Economic Development Dir. Kent MILLIKEN was on hand to mark the Coast Guard Birthday in the UNION LEAGUE. Mike MEADS completed 22 years of military service, taking his unit in Philly overseas TWICE, to Iraq and Bosnia. Thank you.... USS OLYMPIA at Penn’s Landing has two WEST COAST cities interested in her. We never showed her the love and care she deserved.

IBEW is CORRECT in advising the President of changes in the OBAMACARE Law that are needed for Multi-Employer Plans. It needs adjustment!... John DOUGHERTY, Local 98 leader, noted the City might have been more successful with the legislature if the Mayor had included the congressional and City Council delegations in an appeal for funds.VERY TRUE. Local 98’s new Business Initiative aims to foster more projects

and worksites.

New Jersey candidate for Governor Sen. Barbara BUONO seems set on Milly SILVA, Vice President of S.E.I.U. LOCAL 1199, as her running mate. An all-female ticket is an idea that is timely now! And a labor LEADER instead of an elected official is a needed departure, for a tough race.

State Rep. Bill KELLER testified before the House Labor & Industry Committee on his Bill (HB 1591) to prevent collapse of buildings with SAFETY AND DEMO Code update.... Councilman Jim KENNEY found out the Fire Dept. and L & I were not allowed by the Administration to testify at his committee on the building collapse. And the mayoral decision to not release building-collapse documents REMINDS me of WATERGATE. It is not yet “NUTTER-GATE” but, like the Nixon era, will we need a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR? COUNCIL PRESIDENT Clarke’s idea to BOLSTER the Pension Fund with sales-tax revenue is sound!... The Public Utility Commission member who got VERY UPSET during a hearing over the PGW explosion, showed emotion unneeded in professional proceedings. It read to me like a PLUG for the proposed PGW sale plan.

(Cont. From Page 12) representatives across the country. It serves to lobby Congress about the impact disability and SSI programs have on the lives of working people, and to educate legislators and the public about of the value of maintaining and enhancing these programs.
