and maintain the park to keep it “the high-quality space that it is”. Philadelphia has developed NOVEMBER 18, 2020 a bad reputation in some areas for its blighted areas, dumping, potholes and crime but there are also places like Clarks Park that defy such overgeneralized notions of the city. Places like Clark Park and Cobbs Creek have shown what can happen when regular citizens step up and move out. “Get involved in your neighborhood and get involved in stuff like this and you’ll feel better about yourself and your neighborhood better will be better for it,” suggested Kenney. “I love it every year. There’s such good energy around it and just getting out, cleaning out and making more beautiful the park that we all love,” said Andrew Bowers, President of the Friends of Clark Park.

other institutions to follow Penn’s lead. It takes all of us working together – government, business, non-profit, and philanthropy – to tackle our most pressing challenges and ensure our kids have access to great schools in every neighborhood.” Mayor Kenney, Superintendent Hite, and the Board of Education have embarked on aggressive environmental remediation efforts in School District buildings. The School District currently has an estimated $4.5 billion in unmet capital needs. Since 2018, the School District has fully stabilized lead paint in 54 elementary schools, completed work to certify an additional 25 schools as Lead Safe, and invested more than $23 million to complete asbestos-related projects. The District announced in November 2019 an Environmental Safety Improvement Plan that outlined new safety and inspection

measures. The District approved $41 million in January 2020 for asbestos testing, abatement, project management, and other remediation resources. “Every student in Philadelphia deserves the dignity of a safe and welcoming school building,” said School Board President Joyce Wilkerson. “This tremendous gift will not only help us to ensure these safe spaces for every student, it will free us to direct our focus to investing in a new and compelling vision for school facilities. I thank the University of Pennsylvania for this incredible gift which is an investment in all of our city’s children.” “We are thrilled to have this very generous contribution from the University of Pennsylvania,” said Dr. Hite. “It will be a great support as we move forward to address the immediate environmental conditions in all of our schools. This

will allow us to shift our focus to creating 21st century learning environments for all students.” Penn’s commitment to environmental remediation is one of many contributions that the University makes to the School District and the broader community to provide important support to public education in Philadelphia. In partnership with the School District and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, the University has invested more than $25 million over the past 15 years in the District’s top-performing Penn Alexander School, providing land for the school, funding for construction, and annual payments of approximately $1 million for operations. In 2013, the University deepened its commitment to the nearby Henry C. Lea Elementary School with an expanded partnership. With a Penn Graduate School of Education-based liai-

son on site serving as a partnership coordinator, 16 Penn-affiliated organizations facilitate 37 district partner programs at Lea. Penn’s 12 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools, led by Penn’s Graduate School of Education, as well as Penn centers including the Penn Museum and Penn Libraries, operate more than 500 activities in 248 schools in every catchment area throughout the School District. “Penn’s contribution will catalyze even more aggressive and comprehensive remediation of environmental hazards in all our public schools,” said President Gutmann. “Philadelphia is our home. Education is at the very heart of all that we do at Penn, and we will continue to ensure that we are doing all that we can to support the success of public education in Philadelphia. Our schoolchildren and teachers deserve no less.”

ennsylvanians have made tough decisions amid the profound economic costs of the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of Pennsylvanians lost their jobs temporarily or permanently this year. Sadly, families continue to struggle and sacrifice to stay afloat. In the coming state budget debate, lawmakers and the governor need to back them up— and they can do so by shielding families from job-killing tax hikes. According to a Wall Street Journal analysis, 54 of the state’s 67 counties “recorded year-over-year unemployment rate increases that were in the top 20 percent nationally.” Pennsylvania now shows around 500,000 net jobs lost since February. Unemployment rates have exceeded all previous records. Meanwhile, Gov. Tom Wolf has yet to alter his plans to dramatically increase state spending and has offered no solution to close a multi-billion-dollar state budget hole. Indeed, the governor helped dig that hole through arbitrary and excessive shutdowns that devastated businesses. And for years prior, Wolf routinely spent hundreds of millions of dollars beyond the budget passed by lawmakers. Months into this severe pandemic response, the economy is slowly recovering, as are state revenues, but lawmakers face a budget shortfall of at least $3 billion, according to the Independent Fiscal Office’s latest projections. As Pennsylvania families try to get back on their feet, they cannot afford higher taxes to pay for Wolf’s overspending. Today’s budgetary issues date to earlier this year. In May, responding to economic uncertainty—and potential government revenue problems—lawmakers passed, and Wolf signed, a “stopgap” budget. This budget provided five months of funding for most programs (school districts received full funding at last year’s

levels). While it kept the government functioning and bought lawmakers more time, it also delayed necessary tough decisions. Now, this funding will run out by the end of November. To avoid tax hikes that would crush the state’s economy—and families—lawmakers must consider reforms that will cut spending. One key opportunity is tackling the “shadow budget,” a group of offbudget funds that have amassed more than $10 billion in reserves. We calculate that government officials could move $345 million from these shadow budget reserves without affecting spending. There are also numerous options to reduce planned annual spending. Some programs require less funding during pandemic conditions. For example, with many state employees working from home, lawmakers could reduce millions in office space and travel costs. In addition, with tourism reduced, the Historical and Museum Commission could operate on a temporary reduction this year. No manager of a government program wants to consider a budget reduction, even a temporary one. But this isn’t a question of whether we will have to make sacrifices. It’s a question of who should make the sacrifices—some government programs or families struggling to make ends meet. Lawmakers must also consider reducing nearly $1 billion in corporate subsidies used to attract big business to the state. These programs are handouts to select businesses that hamper growth by undermining reform that would improve our business climate for all job creators. Several corporate welfare programs have a poor track record or even a negative return on investment. Legislators should reduce corporate welfare waste in industries like film production ($61 million), research and development ($48 million), and mobile

million). Privatizing stateowned liquor stores should also be a priority. State-run liquor stores, a relic of prohibition, utterly failed Pennsylvanians during the pandemic, with an embarrassing series of debacles that turned residents into bootleggers and cost the state millions in lost revenue. No wonder 61 percent of voters support want government out of the liquor business. Allowing private retailers and wholesalers to sell wine and spirits— like 48 other states do— could generate more than $1 billion in immediate revenue. At the same time, this would reduce the costs of running state stores, decrease pension obligations, and boost sales. Our state must be fiscally solvent and find a way to balance its budget—even in hard times. But lawmakers must do so without adding to the suffering that working families and local small businesses already endure. Thankfully, existing proposals can close this budget hole without raising taxes or making devastating cuts. But it will require Wolf and the Legislature to closely cooperate. For the benefit of all Pennsylvanians, it’s time they do. Nathan Benefield is Vice President and COO of the Commonwealth Foundation, Pennsylvania’s freemarket think tank.

As the former commissioner of the Fairmount Park Conservancy, Councilperson Jamie Gautier was in her element during the Love Your Park Day event. “I think its just wonderful. This is one of my favorite events, Love Your Park Day, because I think our green spaces are so important for our communities ability to get out and recreate and relax and this day is about giving back to those green spaces that nurture our neighborhoods,” said Gauthier. “It was great to see so many people out here working and volunteering their time and it’s such a beautiful day for this. It’s like a bright spot in all of the things that have been going on lately,” she said. Like Bowers and Mayor Kenney, Gauthier said that Clark Park was one

of the spots that drew people together from all walks of life. “So many people come here to connect, to be together, to find respite, to recreate and so its critically important to our community,” Gauthier said. Maury McCarthy, Executive Director of the Fairmount Park Conservancy said that Love Your Park Day was also her favorite day as she expressed her apprecia-

tion for the Mayor, The Friends of Clark Park, The Fairmount Park Conservancy and others who made the twice-annual event possible. “We’re all taking extra precautions so that we can do this work around the city at a time that is particularly challenging,” said McCarthy in reference to the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing guidelines and masking required this year to in compliance

with Center For Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. “I want everybody to know that your hard work has not gone unnoticed and it’s more valuable now than ever,” she said. Although the Covid-19 pandemic has had disastrous effects on the city, the nation and the world, it did help raise awareness about one important thing: “Over the last year, a

mount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and operates in collaboration with more than 100 park volunteer groups across the city. The program is made possible with the support of Knight Foundation, PECO, and TD Bank.

as a teenager. She is a newly graduated Psychologist adept at using a holomentic reader that can create holographic images of The Sentient (hard from Flametree Press) memories and dreams. She is assigned to a high-profile cloning experiment because the first two attempts, using women who had escaped from the religious compounds, had led to the deaths. Nadia finds that the third woman, Rozene, who had also escaped from the compounds had had her memory altered, and that was depressing her. Unfortunately, there is far more going on. There’s a conspiracy between leaders of Westport who have a cosmic theology and leaders of the compounds. When Rozene is kidnapped, Nadia hunts to find her both in space and in the empty wilderness of America. Very exciting.

Patrick S. Tomlinson has an interesting beginning to what promises to be a fun series. Tysson Abington, CEO of the Ageless Corporation based on the company owned planet of Lazarus, finds his company under attack by genetically modified microbes on a mining camp and internal spies. Captain Susan Kamala’s ship the Ansari is patrolling the outskirts of a world being developed by the Ageless company and discovers its drones are being destroyed by a ship from the insectoid XIR. It’s been seventy years since the XIR-human war and the ZIR have a new weapon to test. Nothing is In the Black (paper from TOR) because of unexpected and fun twists. Allies are made from

Op-Ed: In-Person Education Essential for Montgomery County Students

n behalf of thousands of local families, I would like to express my utter disappointment and total loss of confidence in the Montgomery County Board of Health. Their recent unilateral decision forcing the county’s public, private and parochial schools to shutdown inperson education for at least a two-week period beginning on Monday, November 23 rd is outrageous, unacceptable and the definition of government overreach. For months, I have stated openly and publicly that the cure for the coronavirus must not be

worse than the disease itself. This is especially true concerning the mandatory closure of schools by a group of unelected bureaucrats who appear to be more interested in playing politics then looking out for the overall well-being of young people. According to the science, school-aged children have been, and continue to be, one of the populations least affected by COVID-19. Yet, America’s youth are suffering the most from draconian lockdown orders such as this. The purpose and value of a child’s education goes far beyond the

enemies. I can’t wait for the next episode now that all the major characters are together. Neal Asher is one of the best superscience writers, filling his universe with A.I. rules, and characters with expanded mental computer access. The Human (hard from Skyhorse Publishing) is technically the third of the Rise of the Jain but really a culmination of the fifteen books of the Polity universe. Ancient Jain technology has infected the Polity and has destroyed previous civilizations including the Jain. Then Jain warship is released from a blister of space where time moved much slower. The tale is of continuous battle that Mr. Asher somehow keeps understandable and involving. Very exciting and a must for Neal Asher fans. Kalayna Price concludes her series about P.I. Alex Craft who is also a grave witch, with a Grave War (ebook from Ace) that starts with someone blowing up the gates to Faerie. Then her father, The Governor, is murdered in front of her. Finally, earthquakes start rocking Faerie. To survive, Alex has to take on new responsibilities and face an evil villain. While this final episode is a bit generic, it pro-

vides a solid ending for fans of the series. Christopher G. Nuttall concludes his Embers of War series with Debt of War (paper from 47North) with a Commonwealth Civil War that pits King versus Parliament and puts Admiral Kat Falcone and her ex-comrade on opposite sides. Unfortunately, it soon becomes obvious to the reader that one of them is on the wrong side, especially when that sides decides on the war crime of destroying cities. This is a bit disquieting as all civil wars tend to be. Baen has reprinted T. C. McCarthy’s fun tale of a cyborg Tyger Burning in paper and and early tale from Wil McCarthy’s Collapsium series, The Welstone in trade. Hank Davis

academic curriculum. School offers kids the integrated needs of supervised structure and a trusted environment in which to hone their social skills with peers. Everyday interactions with adults and fellow students are critical to the emotional and intellectual development of the next generation. The Board of Health’s totalitarian ruling is unwise, reeks of partisanship and is frankly tone-deaf to the will of the people. Concerned parents want the schools they fund with their public tax dollars and private tuition payments to remain open. As Montgomery County Commisand Christopher Ruocchio have collected an anthology of Cosmic Corsairs (trade from Baen). Subterranean Press has a collection of Joe R. Lansdale tales, Fishing for Dinosaurs and Other Stories in hardcover. Dr. Henry Lazarus is a retired Dentist and the author of A Cycle of Gods (Wolfsinger Publications) and Unnaturally Female (Smashwords).Check out his unified field theory at henrylazarus. com/utf.html that suggests fusion generation requires less energy because only one frequency is needed rather than a full spectrum. It also explains dark matter, the proliferation of subatomic particles, and the limit of light speed for matter.

sioner, I have personally been contacted by countless constituents across both the county and the greater Philadelphia region who demand inperson education. Courageous parents and students have made their voices heard loud

and clear: in-person education is essential. I will continue to support these families who rightfully expect better and deserve better. Joe Gale, Montgomery County Commissioner
