Cobbs Creek Parkway Safety Meeting – People are tired of waiting for change

By Nathaniel Lee UC Review Correspondent

S

everal weeks after the hit and run murder of Avante Reynolds, 25, a young West Philadelphia mother who was struck by a car September 3rd while crossing Cobbs Creek Parkway at 63rd and Catherine Street, residents and members of the community joined with elect-

ed officials to discuss needed changes in the area.

Long known to be a problematic area, Cobbs Creek Parkway has become a dangerous stretch of road where drivers regular speed through, ignoring posted speed limits.

Aggressive driving is normal, and recklessness is commonplace.

The virtual community meeting hosted during the

Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center’s October community meeting was intended to address these concerns.

“Avante Reynolds was killed by a hit and run driver on 63rd and Catherine, Cobbs Creek and Catherine, exactly where the Cobbs Creek Environmental Center is and her death reinspired a conversation about the safety of Cobbs

It Can’t Happen Here novel, Dell paperback book cover.

By Richard Lord Contributing writer

F

or American literature, the 1920s was a veritable feast, with the appearance of writers like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner and the many voices of the Harlem Renaissance. But measured by book sales and attraction for Hollywood producers, the biggest name of that period was Sinclair Lewis.

With seven popular novels and over a dozen short stories just in that decade , Lewis held a mirror up to small-town America and the images reflected there were etched with hypocrisy, false bravado and a hollowness at the center of what appeared on the surface to be great success. His successes were capped off at the end of the decade with Lewis winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930, thus becoming the first American to achieve that honor.

The Twenties also saw Lewis tie the knot with the acclaimed American journalist Dorothy Thompson. Thompson started warning America and its friends of the dangers of Nazism in 1931, which led to her

being expelled from Germany in 1934, a year after the Nazis took power.

Thompson’s zeal and fears influenced Lewis so much that in 1935, he published a novel-cumcautionary tale about a fascist regime seizing control of America: It Can’t Happen Here.

One year after the novel’s appearance, Lewis teamed up with John C. Moffit to write a stage adaptation of the work.

The ensuing play opened on the same evening (October 21, 1936) in 21 different theatres across 17 states and was a success in many of them. Now, the Philadelphia Theatre Company has teamed up with the Berkeley Rep Theatre of California to present a radio play version of It Can’t Happen Here as PTC’s second offering of its season.

This version is not the Lewis-Moffit collaboration for the stage, but a revised edition written

by Tony Taccone and Bennett S. Cohen. (The critical consensus is that Lewis-Moffit adaptation is not by any measure one of the great achievements of American stagecraft.)

First produced in 2016, the newer work is being presented by 75 theatre organizations across the

just one of the many. The PTC team agrees with the two authors as well as the original director of their script that our upcoming election makes the play especially relevant and the need to bring it to a wide public vitally pressing.

In both the novel and the play, a demagogic US senator (with the unlikely name of Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip) successfully challenges Franklin Roosevelt for the 1936 Democrat Party nomination and then sweeps to victory in November. It’s not long before “Buzz” takes to the airwaves and announces that foreign adversaries are engaged in nefarious covert operations against the United States. He then informs his radio audience that he has everything in hand and is more than ready to defend the country against all foes, foreign and domestic.

Soon, Windrip proclaims that those domestic enemies represent an even greater threat than the foreign variety. He enlists the aid of ad hoc militia groups all across the land to help him put down this dangerous sedition.

Of course, anyone who voices any principled disagreement with Windrip’s policies and tactics are guilty of automatically sedition and high treason.

The central protagonist of It Can’t Happen Here is Doremus Jessup, a journalist-editor who’s just dripping with integrity. A liberal with a libertarian bent, Jessup is appalled by Windrip and his tactics almost from the moment he announces his bid for the presidency. As Jessup’s worst fears are not only realized but actually surpassed by the president and his improvised army of thugs. Arrests of political opponents and critics become common, beatings and mistreatment flourish, while arbitrary and summary executions become a part of the program. But Jessup and most members of his family, as well as most of his friends and acquaintances, refuse to fall in line and resistance starts continued on page 10

Unfortunately, such conversations have been going on for a long time and this was acknowledged by both Williams as well as Gauthier and others throughout the meeting.

“The calls for safety on the parkway began many years ago and they have only grown stronger since the tragedy,” Gauthier said.

So, what happened as a result of those previous for calls for changes along the parkway made years ago? Well, if you were to ask the family of Avante Reynolds and the community to which she belonged, nothing worth reporting.

“My block enters right onto the parkway so whether we are talking about this horrible, horrible incident in the life of Avante or we’re talking about other incidents of people getting hit or car accidents on this end of Cobbs Creek or the other part of Island Avenue, they are very much a priority to me and I stand here this evening

working with our councilmember and our senator to make sure we have the resources to continue to get repairs and safety measures made, but more importantly, we are here to hear from you to make sure we are doing this on the right track,” said Representative Joanna McClinton.

McClinton promised to work closely with the community and encouraged its members to provide input to guide the decisions of those they elected to serve them.

During the meeting Sen. Williams, who lives on the Parkway, is considered a big-brother to many in the area, and has served the West Philadelphia community for decades, expressed his frustration with the lack of progress along the parkway both before and subsequent to Reynolds’ death. In fact, many people affectionately know the Senator simply as ‘Tony’ because of his closeness to his constituents and neighbors.

“I am very frustrated that it requires crisis and tragic events that causes us to be together,” said Williams. Reynolds

lived half a mile from his home.

If the Reynolds hit and run case was tragic, then so were the deaths of others whose lives were tragically lost along the parkway and whose names Williams recalled in memoriam during the meeting. Reynolds death was atrocious, but it wasn’t the only one lost.

Williams announced that he reintroduced a bill that would use the Amber Alert system to help identify vehicles and drivers involved in hit and run accidents in Pennsylvania.

“We introduced this bill 4 years ago and we now have some level of momentum, unfortunately because of this incident, and those incidents of hit and runs increasing in rural Pennsylvania, suburban Pennsylvania, and certainly Philadelphia is off the hook,” Williams said.

Williams also reported that, “for the first time” PennDOT [Pennsylvania Department of Transportation] will have mechanisms that “slow down traffic” or, “modified speed bumps”.

There will also be what

Williams called “Safety infrastructure discussions”.

“Interested parties in this community not only have to deal with Cobbs Creek, they have to deal with a number of streets in Philadelphia that are facing challenges as it relates to bike lanes, scooters, stop signs, lights, speed bumps, and the like, and we have people talking in silos.

We are talking at each other instead of with each other,” he said.

“The motivation behind this is a collective push and, frankly, many of us have been working on this for a long time and the frustration that the beauracracy moves quite slowly, sometimes it’s the Republicans, sometimes it’s Democrats, but nonetheless, it’s bureaucratic in nature and the response has not always been what we need to have and that’s an immediate response and action.”

“The government needs to act faster,” Williams said.

Williams said that talk about more studies, talk about future funding won’t cut the mustard.

“This requires an immediate response which gives faith to people not just for your elected officials but about the departments we have to work with.”

During his opening remark, Captain Matthew Gillespie expressed his love for West Philadelphia and the way their community works together across the board to address their issues and concerns.

Gillespie gave an update on the investigation into the search to identify the hit and run driver involved in the Reynolds’ incident. Gillespie reported that the car involved was recovered but investigations continued to discover who was driving the vehicle during the incident.

“The Cobbs Creek area really is an area that I’m concerned about just like everybody else.

The speed in this area is just… ” Ironically, the majority of people stopped for violations along the parkway aren’t residents of the area but people driving through the area from elsewhere.

“The overwhelming

majority, I would say 6 out of 10, do not live in the area,” Gillespie said.

“What we found is that the people who live in West Philadelphia, specifically in this area seem to be driving appropriately.

On the hot seat was Louis Belmonte, assistant district executive of operations PennDOT who discussed particular measures the department planned for the area including educational initiatives, signs and modified speed bumps.

Unfortunately, it seemed that more time than what many would like to spend getting it done was being suggested for implementation which didn’t sit well with Williams.

“Tonight, I just want to make it clear that PennDOT is committed to improving safety along the North 63rd Street Cobbs Creek Parkway Corridor. We’re at the point where we have some improvements on the street and we have some others coming later this year and, in the Spring,” said Belmonte.”

Op-Ed: Pennsylvania’s Catholic schools face uncertainty in the pandemic era

By Colleen Hroncich

W

hen Apryl and James Dolgas enrolled their sons, Brady and Alec, in Catholic schools, they anticipated financial hardship. Though tuition at Johnstown’s Divine Mercy Academy and Bishop McCort High School is less than half what their local school district spends per pupil, it was still costly.

But Apryl and James believed the financial sacrifice was worth it – especially since the Greater Johnstown School District, Apryl’s alma mater, consistently ranks near the bottom of districts statewide. The COVID-19 pandemic proved the wisdom of their decision. In March, when Gov. Tom Wolf mandated in-person school closures, Divine Mercy and Bishop McCort immediately pivoted to remote instruction.

According to Tom Smith, chief academic officer at Divine Mercy and principal of Bishop McCort, those schools missed just one day of classes for teacher in-service.

This was the case throughout Pennsylvania. Catholic schools weren’t caught flatfooted like many districts were because they’d taken advantage of a state program to pre-plan up to five “flexible instruction days” in a school year. Having the first week planned gave them a head start when the school closures were announced. Only 72 of the state’s 500 public school districts participated in the program.

Apryl and James were thankful for the limited academic disruption

at their sons’ schools.

Though learning online, their children maintained a rigorous schedule without busy work. Teachers also accommodated parents’ scheduling challenges, and some even offered evening classes so parents could participate with their children.

In a shutdown-induced economic downturn, however, many can’t afford private school tuition, and the donations that kept Catholic schools afloat are dropping off. About 150 Catholic schools nationwide have closed permanently this year, according to the National Catholic Education Association.

St. Basil Academy, an all-girls high school near Philadelphia founded in 1931, exemplifies this unfortunate trend. This month, St. Basil’s announced it will close at the end of the school year. The pandemic undoubtedly fueled the sad outcome, but St. Basil’s was already struggling to compete with “free” public schools, which enjoy a significant financial advantage.

In many cases, families would prefer to keep their children in Catholic schools. Though the Dolgas family tightened their belts to pay tuition, many cash-strapped parents have no choice but to transfer their children to ZIP-code assigned schools. This dilemma is why parents like Apryl and James support legislative measures that would focus on students rather than propping up the district-controlled system.

After all, people are already permitted to use government funds at private – even religious

– preschools, daycare centers, or colleges.

COVID-19 relief funds weren’t denied to other entities due to private or religious status, yet when it comes to K-12 education funding, families who choose a private school are left out.

For example, in Pennsylvania, unions and their public school allies are fighting proposed Back on Track education grants, which would allocate some federal COVID-19 relief funds to lower-income parents

struggling with increased education costs. In August, the Pennsylvania State Education Association president said the union would “absolutely” support giving funds to help families with new, unforeseen expenses in the COVID-19 era. “Any assistance that we can give those folks so their children can be successful would be important to have,” he said, but since private school students are also eligible, the union is now fighting the proposal.

Nobody benefits from education tribalism.

Lawmakers should use federal relief funds to make life easier for Catholic school families trying to make ends meet.

Apryl and James Dolgas feel fortunate their sons can attend Divine Mercy and Bishop McCort, which continue to operate during these uncertain times. Sadly, St. Basil Academy faces a different outcome.

Catholic schools play a vital role in Pennsylvania

communities. That’s why lawmakers should empower parents to select the school that is right for their children, which will help these essential schools survive the pandemic – and ensure more children have access to the school that is best for them.

and that’s what we did.

We knew ‘God is always with you’. Just like today, life can’t throw you any type of storm you can’t handle. That’s why it’s up to us not to give up and not to give in. Whatever storm you may be going through, God is always there to save you. God is always right there and always on time. God may come at midnight. But he’s always there. Even in the darkest hour, God is always there to save you.”

Reverend Jones let the audience know that Gerald Renfrow was a hardworking man who never allowed any storm to stop him.

Most famously, when 36 abandoned homes were boarded up on the 6200 block of Osage Avenue and Pine Street, from the 1985 Move bormbing, Renfrow gathered some of his Osage neighbors and took the case to City

Hall.

Renfrow was angry.

He demanded action. He wanted those homes rebuilt and restored. While many homeowners took buyouts, Renfrow and many neighbors stayed on the block. The city tried to satisfy the neighbors with new homes, but after several weeks it quickly became clear the construction never passed inspection. Renfrow had discovered that the electric wiring was faulty, the roofs were leaking, the plumbing was bad, the ceilings in those homes were falling and also the floors were sagging. The original contractors were subsequently sent to jail because money was misused.

So, in early 2000, the city offered to buy back the houses for $150,000.

But Gerald Renfrow and many neighbors refused to accept the city’s offer.

With dark clouds still hanging over his head, for Gerald Renfrow had already led the charge and lobbied with five different mayors, to get those neighborhood homes fully restored.

It was a battle that he was still determined to win. It was back on May 13, 1985, when the city dropped a bomb on the 6200 block of Osage Avenue. A bomb was dropped on a row house at 6221 Osage Avenue.

That’s where the Move family lived. After a chaotic stand off earlier that day, under the directive of Mayor Wilson Goode, the Philadelphia Police Department dropped an explosive device that evening.

The bomb set off fires destroying roughly 61 homes. The bomb was laced with Tovex and C-4 explosives. After it was dropped, the bomb burned down two city

blocks and killed 11 members of the Move family.

Five children were among the 11 people killed in the bombing. The bombing cast a dark cloud and left a neighborhood in ruins. The bombing is still considered the worst in Philadelphia history.

It wasn’t until 2017, when Mayor Jim Kenney’s administration hired AJR Endeavors to finish the redevelopment of those heavily damaged homes. Once the job was finished, all 36 redeveloped homes were sold for $ 250,000 or more. Including the last Osage Avenue home which was sold a few days before Gerald Renfrow passed away.

His wife felt satisfied that his battle was a success.

Today, many people don’t know that Renfrow did a lot work and renovations for New Fellowship Baptist Church, the place where his funeral was held.

“Because his wife is an active member of this church, that’s how we made our connection, said Rev. Jones. “I would always see Brother Renfrow at certain anniversaries and many of our church events.

Even though he wasn’t a member of our church, I always thought he was a good guy with an incredible sense of humor.

He was a smooth talker,

but very articulate. What drew me to him was his genuineness. Brother Renfrow was a genuine person. He was a person who made no apologies for being who he was. He never attempted to make himself into something that he wasn’t.”

“Yes, I will miss my husband dearly,” said Connie Renfrow. “He was a Man’s man. As a matter fact, he was a Man of many men. I will always love him. I stood by his side each time we went into battle. He fought the city and I was right there with him every single day. He cared about his community and he really showed it.”

Back in 2017, a historical marker commemorating the 1985 Move bombing was unveiled at the infamous site on the 6200 block of Osage Avenue.

The marker was the result of a two-semester effort by the middle school students of Jubilee School at 42nd and Chester Avenue.

The Jubilee students rallied to get a historical marker there after learning about the 1985 bombing. Gerald and Connie Renfrow attended the ceremony that day. It was a ceremony that Connie Renfrow will never forget. She was there to hold the marker in her hand.

She remembers the tears of joy in her husband’s eyes. It marked a touching moment in his life.

Perhaps the most memorable moment at her husband’s funeral was when Gerald Renfrow was awarded with special proclamations from State Senator Anthony Hardy Williams and State Representative Joanna McClinton. Along with those proclamations, a city proclamation was also awarded to Gerald Renfrow by members of Philadelphia City Council.

PARKWAY continued from page 1

Mayor Jim Kenney said in a press release. “We have an agreement, but the larger issues remain — particularly amid a global pandemic — and we all need to rededicate ourselves to finding bold solutions.”

Unlike past proclamations promising an end to the encampment, the Oct. 14th announcement featured consensus between public officials and encampment organizers, two of whom made statements in a press release announcing the deal.

Demonstrating the encampment would definitively be cleared, the city sent heavy machinery to the encampment on Friday and demolished barriers that had been erected by Parkway camp residents in June.

“The whole point of our protest was to make sure everybody had a house,” said Sterling Johnson, a camp organizer, in the Oct. 14 press

release. “And while we didn’t get everything we wanted, we did get a commitment for a significant number of housing units for a community land trust from the City and PHA and expanded options for camp residents.”

“We appreciate the opportunity to move from protest to partner and look forward to implementing lasting change for the houseless community,” Jennifer Bennetch, another camp organizer, said in the press release.

The establishment of a community land trust – a type of corporation that ensures a set of properties remain affordable housing – a topic that had long been keeping camp leaders and city officials from reaching a deal. Specifically, at issue was whether the land trust would be controlled by camp residents.

The city and PHA now say they will transfer properties into community land trust that is run by residents and will do so in stages. Within

five days of the “resolution of the camp,” the city will provide site access to 10 vacant city properties that are to be transferred into the land trust. Within six months of the resolution of the encampment, the city will obtain 40 PHA properties, and enter an agreement to transfer them into the land trust sometime thereafter.

This final deal is similar to that announced several weeks ago by Philadelphia Housing Action, the coalition, of progressive groups that organized the Parkway encampment – although the city, at the time, denied that any final deal had been reached.

In addition to the 50 properties being transferred into the encampment residents’ land trust, as many as 300 additional vacant PHA properties will be placed into the Community Choice Registration Program. Properties in this program will be transferred to affordable housing nonprofits, other community land

trusts, or federal agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nine bedrooms designated for individuals and one, five-bedroom house designated for a family will also be made available to people living under a preexisting Shared Housing Initiative Program.

Other tenets of the deal include the creation of 50 new opportunities under the city’s new “Street to Home Rapid Rehousing Pilot Program” – 32 of which will be reserved for former residents of the Parkway or Ridge Avenue encampments.

Residents selected for this program will be given various forms of assistance, including two years of rental assistance, to live in private-market rental units. The deal also pledges to create two “Tiny House Villages” – a campus of miniature, but habitable houses for people experiencing homelessness – by the end of the year.

The Oct. 5 deal to clear the Ridge Avenue encampment was marked by the establishment of a pilot “Working for Home Repair Training Program.” Under this pilot, also called “Work 4 Home,” people experiencing homelessness would be trained by the Building and Construction Trades Council, and then hired to rehabilitate a set of delipidated, vacant PHA properties.

Those properties would then be transferred into a community land trust, separate from that established in the deal to clear the Parkway encampment. According to a PHA spokesperson, the land trust will consist of seven properties currently owned by PHA. She added that the deal also pledges to find permanent, affordable housing for families settled into vacant PHA properties by Occupy PHA – a member group of Philadelphia Housing Action.

The city and PHA had already made some of these promises to activists prior to the Oct. 5 and Oct. 14 agreements, that were not explicitly

mention in last week’s press release. These included the use of federal funds to create 900 to 1400 new very-low income or no-income housing units; and a moratorium on openmarket sales of vacant PHA properties that would last as long as nine months, in which time an independent study of PHA sales practices would be conducted. And in reflection of the demonstrations against police brutality that broke out across the nation this summer, officials agreed to take steps to reform the PHA police force.

These promises were made over the course of four months, during which the city posted three separate eviction notices demanding that people clear the encampment. The first eviction date was postponed at the personal insistence of the mayor, and the second was postponed when encampment residents filed an injunction petition in U.S. district court – which was ultimately denied. The third eviction notice was never enforced when the city proved unwilling to use force against encampment residents.

These failed eviction attempts exemplified the resiliency of the encampment residents and organizers.

The encampment on the Parkway was established on June 11. Taking inspiration from the concurrent Black Lives Matter protests, organizers conceived of the camp as both a shelter for people experiencing homelessness and a demonstration against the lack of affordable housing. As many as 150 people eventually gathered at the site, and said they would refuse to clear the area until their list of demands had been met.

People from the surrounding neighborhood, as well as city officials, eventually became concerned about public health implications of the camp. Office of Homeless Services Director Liz Hersh previously told the Free Press/UC

Review that she had concerns about health, saying that encampment in general produced hazardous waste, such as discarded, used needles.

She also said that people in the encampment were left especially vulnerable to violence.

CDC guidelines generally advise against clearing homeless encampments to prevent the spread of COVID-19 –which has sickened more than eight million Americans and resulted in more than 218,000 American deaths, according to John Hopkins University. The guidelines do, however, acknowledge the health risks associated with outdoor living and encourages governments to consider “the balance of risks for each individual experiencing unsheltered homelessness.”

There had been three reported stabbings inside or right near the Parkway camp and one overdose death, and neighborhood residents had been growing increasingly insistent to see the encampment cleared.

Amidst growing tensions, West Philadelphia City Council member Jamie Gauthier and Councilmember-at-large Kendra Brooks began mediating talks between the city and activists in August.

In a joint statement sent to the Free Press/ UC Review, the freshmen councilmembers said the deal signified a step towards solving the affordable housing crisis in Philadelphia.

“This agreement marks a key step on the path towards housing justice in our city, but the road continues,” Brooks and Gauthier said. “As we continue to navigate the pandemic and its economic impacts, City leaders will need to work hand-in-hand with social movements to continue these vital efforts.”

“Justice is attainable, it is worth staying the course, and it is our responsibility as elected officials to do everything in our power to achieve it,” Brooks and Gauthier added.

IT CAN’T continued from page 2

to sprout like wildflowers in corners throughout the land.

As stated, this work is offered as a radio play, and the radio play format is suited to the material.

The subject and the way it is presented (in the writing, the direction and the sound production) lend a distinctly 1930s feel to the experience.

Overall, the show has to be judged as a mild success. The performers are all unremittingly serious, delivering their lines with a sense of high purpose and staunch virtuousness. As a result, the production has a somber feel almost all the way through. (The one character who seems to have any sense of playful irony is President Buzz Windrip himself. Oh, the homicidal militia judge also spins off some sarcastic relief to the general virtuousness.) I had the feeling that the intense seriousness of the cast would have worked better if we could see their faces and body language as they recited their lines. Unfortunately, a radio play by definition deprives us of that extra element of experiencing drama.

The central figure of Doremus Jessup was handled well by theatre and film veteran David Strathairn at his solemn best. (Strathairn actually often sounded more like an ‘end-days-are-near’ preacher than a journalist.) Strathairn was supported by Carolina Sanchez as his daughter

Sissy, Anna Ishida as his older daughter Mary, William Thompson Hodgson as Doremus’ son-in-law and Alex Lydon as Sissy’s beau. Over on the bad-guys side of the battle, the best rendition was turned in by Charles Shaw Robinson as Commander Effingham Swan. Other villains delivered well include Scott Coopwood as Minute Man Shad Ledue and Danforth Comins as Doremus’ opportunistic son, who has gone over to the dark side.

This edition of It Can’t Happen Here is still in the 1930s, though pointed references and other bits make it clear that the story is just as relevant today as was in the original as a warning about Louisiana Senator Huey Long’s planned campaign for the 1936 election. The production is more instructive and cautionary than enjoyable as either a radio play or theatrical offering. It is to be recommended as such, but with reservations. Don’t expect to have a pleasant listen when you log in, but you might have an even more intense desire to exercise your right to vote and choose a future path for the country.

The production was directed by Lisa Peterson. Huey Long was the inspiration for Buzz Windrip.

The Berkeley Rep production of It Can’t Happen Here is available for free listening on the YouTube channel daily, at any convenience, until November 8. Just type in It Can’t Happen Here Berkely Rep.

What Verity doesn’t know is that her mother came from nearby and had a close friendship to Maeve who is hiding a horrible secret. Verity adopts well to the town and farming live, slowly discovering the danger her sister is in. Eventide (hard from Tor) is truly spine-tingling and Ms. Goodman is an author to watch.

Former admiral Rosalia Morais who helped solve the first murder and realized the problems of recycling a corpse that had been poisoned is picked for the job. After hiring the police force for a place that hadn’t needed police before, her husband, Nicolau Aames, leads her to a case of massive insurance fraud. There’s also The Last Campaign (paper from 47North) of a mayor who’d been mayor for decades and the political implications of the investigation. But there’s more. A conspira-
