Kensington pushing hard to change the impact of the opioid crisis in its community

By Nathaniel Lee Press/Review Reporter

T

he Kensington area in the Northeast of the city has long been the source of despair, outrage, and utter disbelief as one of the hardest hit communities impacted by the Opioid epidemic. There is no other place where the ravaging effects of drug addiction can be so readily seen.

But help is on the way thanks to grants given to community organizers and service providers organized to provide much needed supportive services to the devastated

n the history of girls’ basketball, Philadelphia has given birth to many outstanding female basketball players. Throughout the years, there have been female players who made their mark here. Players like Linda Page, Yolanda Laney, Dawn Staley, Shawnetta Stewart, Jadeane Daye, Marcedes Walker, Linda Hester, Kimberly Johnson, Deja Reynolds and currently Kahleah Copper all of whom

ers. There’s licensing and training required – thank goodness! In fact, during the bed bug crisis in Philadelphia, many people may have unwittingly exacerbated the problem by unintentionally spreading the bugs by improperly discarding infested mattresses and furniture. Knowledge and experience make all of the difference in the world.

“What happens is that when people started moving them [furniture/ mattresses] they weren’t educated to the fact that they couldn’t just take the bed down the steps and then the bugs start to spread and they wonder why they have bed bugs around the house,” said Smith.

“Then they sit them outside naked [without covers], sanitation workers were getting them [bed bugs] and taking them home and that’s why they came up with the requirement of putting bed bug covers on mattresses [before they are removed by sanita-

tion workers].”

“They are hitchhikers actually and they can get inside your clothing and you can get them almost anywhere like on a bus or a cab, visiting a family’s home, a movie theater and then bring them into the house,” he said.

Bed bugs are nocturnal blood suckers and although they aren’t known to carry any diseases, they can cause serious itching, and in some cases, allergic reactions to their bites.

“When you are asleep, that’s when they feed,” Smith said.

“Once they do one feeding, they can actually survive off of that feeding for 18 months so we recommend that with bed bug covers and things like that, that you leave your bed bug covers on your bed or at least two years.”

Some businesses carry bed bug sprays and bombs but the pests are elusive and treatment isn’t as easy as it might seem.

“If bed bugs have been found in your home, resist the urge to use household bug sprays or “bombs.” Bed bugs

are resistant to the most commonly used pesticides. Using bug bombs and sprays on mattresses and in bedrooms will only increase your exposure to toxins but will not control bed bugs. Since pesticides are poisons, they should be used sparingly and carefully,” advises a Pennsylvania State University report found on their website.

“To control bed bugs effectively, you will need a combination of actions.

Control is difficult, so it is best to consult a licensed and experienced pest management professional (PMP) to help rid your home of these pests.”

As for Lanternflies, they are beautiful but threaten the environment given the fact that they kill the trees and plants they infest.

“The best thing to do is to kill the Lanternflies as you see them but that is very hard because they are very fast,” Smith said as anyone who’s tried to step on one can attest.

“They have different stages that you have to look at, too. They have the adult, the larvae and during the different stages there are control mea-

sures that we can use.”

Pest control professionals are required to take courses and update their knowledge on the various treatment options for the diverse pests they are often called to treat and must demonstrate their knowledge to not only get their license but to annually renew them.

Professionals are recommended because of this knowledge and training. Not to mention the fact that personally

handling the chemicals found in many pesticides can be dangerous if improperly handled.

While most products sold on the market are said to be safe when used as instructed, there is nevertheless some degree of potential exposure to the harmful chemicals found in them.

“Any time you get absorption which you can get it through your skin, your nose or your eyes. You want to avoid

absorbing these chemicals as much as possible.

So, the best thing is to stay away from those products and let the professionals take care of it,” Smith said.

PA Green Party Remembers Mort Malkin (1932 -- 2021)

“A

s CoChair of the Green Party of Pennsylvania (GPPA, www.gpofpa. org), I was saddened to learn of Mort Malkin’s passing,” said Beth Scroggin (Chester).

“Although I did not have the opportunity to meet Mort, I am grateful for the work that he had done over many years to ensure that the Green Party was available to me when I wanted to join. Mort spent his life working toward a better future for people and for the planet we inhabit. May his example inspire all of us to work today for people who have yet to join our cause.”

Beverly Beers, chair of Wayne County Green Party, said sorrowfully: “I received news that Mort Malkin of the Wayne County Greens passed away today, July 11. Mort was a peace activist, writer and fitness guru. He was the author of several books. His most recent was Homo Sapiens: A Violent Gene? (Pisgah Press LLC), in which he argued that human evolution and survival depended on cooperation and peace not violence and war. Mort was a mainstay of our Green Party. Members of the Green Party often lamented our lack of power in the face of the two behemoths which rule our political system. Mort never ever did.”

“Mort approached every issue with the absolute conviction that our platform could be accomplished and that the world could live

in peace,” continued Beers. “He attended our June meeting and spoke of his concern about nuclear war. His main message was to get out info about the 800 U.S. military bases located around the world. Mort had recently written a letter-to-the-editor for The River Reporter on this issue. Mort wore his Green Party button with pride. He will be greatly missed.”

River Reporter, Letter to Editor, May 27, 2021 Nuclear weapons and military budgets The recent Green Party Presidential candidate, Howie Hawkins, recently sent a message to the American people.

He urged us to join the 54 nations that signed and ratified the Treaty to Ban Nuclear, pledge no first use of nuclear weapons and reduce the U.S.’ military budget by 75 percent.

Here are some other numbers: 32 nations, including the U.S., oppose the UN Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons.

Currently, there are 13,400 nuclear weapons in arsenals. A great majority of Americans support the UN Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons. They also support a no-first-use pledge.

Regarding the U.S.’ military budget, there are more than 800 U.S. military bases in other countries. The money to maintain them there is a significant part of the military budget.

Let us write, email and call our elected Congress-people and tell them what we think.

Mort Malkin, Milanville, PA Jay Sweeney, GPPA 2018 candidate for PA Auditor General, also reminisced about Mort Malkin’s passing. “That is sad news! Mort was a retired doctor when I met him. He was a prolific writer. His interests were many and diverse. I am fortunate to have counted Mort as a friend. He taught me some of the mechanics of aerobic walking and

offered to do one of his 100-mile walks in support of my campaign for PA State Senate.”

“Mort and I travelled to a Sierra Club meeting one time,” continued Sweeney. “He got the crowd up in arms by claiming that war is the biggest environmental threat. They didn’t agree. Mort also antagonized the Northeastern Sierra Club group when he used the term “global heating” about ten years ago. They thought his speech was too radical. Mort was brilliant and gifted beyond compare. His intellect and vision were astute. Mort will be sorely missed by his family, friends and community.”

Strategies “I was hired by the Managing Directors Office to support the planning, design and fundraising for the creation of this spot and the management of it.”

With over 15 years’ experience in project management, fundraising and business development, Feuer-Edwards, and her passion for serving the needs of people, she was the right person for the job.

“It’s a really exciting process. From the start of the fund, we really knew that we wanted to work in fidelity with the community engagement that has been core to the city’s efforts to work around the issue of the Opioid crisis in Kensington,” she said.

This came right out of the city’s Resilience Project playbook created in 2018 when Mayor Kenney signed an executive order which placed some 35 city offices on the front lines of efforts to address the opioid crisis.

The project had seven missions which included clearing out encampments, reducing crime, cleaning up trash, litter, overdoses, the spread of infectious diseases,

increasing treatment options and mobilizing the community.

In order for the project to work, mobilization of the community was an essential element. And so, the grant was designed to do just that.

“There have been other processes out there that have used what is called the ‘participatory grant making model’ which is really taking a very community driven approach to philanthropy where you really engage those who will be the recipient of funding and the process,” said FeuerEdwards.

“We really wanted to take it even further and really have the community at the heart of what we were doing and so I feel that, beyond the money that was going out, the participatory process is really so important,” she said.

To get this participation from the community, the planners formed two groups: “We had a Community Advisory Committee which was comprised of nonprofit leaders, faith leaders, leaders of civic associations, although a lot of those folks were residents because they lived and worked in that community.”

It was this group which worked and

helped facilitate dialogue with the community to decide “the size of the grants, who should be eligible and other parameters for funding.”

One member of the Community Advisory Group, President of HACE CDC, praised the effort.

“It was a privilege to work with like-minded stakeholders that are mission driven to develop a new mechanism that is targeted to support grassroots level activities in the Kensington, Harrowgate, and Fairhill neighborhoods,” said Gonzalez.

“The KCR Fund is a game changer for empowering civic groups and residents by providing them with much needed resources and support to address quality of life issues and to lift up individuals and families across these neighborhoods,” she said.

Feuer-Edwards said that it was great to see connections being made across organizations, some of which might not have known of one another or worked together previously.

“The process was really wonderful to see a sort of shifting of power from the funders to the residents in making decisions about what they wanted and needed in the community,” she said.

Grant hustlers are everywhere and whenever there is a grant available, people will pop up with made-to-order organizations and services to apply for them – even if they had no connection to the people nor have historically operated in the areas for which the grants were created to serve.

The KCF grant not only helped to place the community at the heart of the decisions about what the grants should be allocated for but also who they should be allocated to and the eligibility for applicants.

As such, one major eligibility requirement for the KCF Grant was that applicants ‘must be physically located within the following boundaries in the Kensington, Harrowgate, and Fairhill communities, or bring a track record of providing programming/services in this area: Lehigh Avenue to Erie Avenue /

city. The league gives older female players a chance to display their basketball skills. Even though Brown was the youngest player in the women’s league, that didn’t stop her from playing basketball against older women.

Instead of being scared or intimidated, Brown loved the challenge. The league gave the petite point guard a chance to show off her basketball skills.

While Brown played basketball for the Lynx team, she became one of the top scorers in the Elite 8 Women League.

During the season, Taylor averaged more than 15 points a game and was named the Elite 8 Rookie of the Year.

The Elite 8 Women’s Basketball League ran at Hank Gathers Recreation Center in North Philadelphia. That’s where Dawn Staley played basketball during her early years. In the Elite 8 Basketball League, Taylor Brown helped her Lynx basketball team win a basketball title.

“By allowing me to play with older women,

the league helped me with my confidence,” said Taylor Brown who turned 13-years old back on May 27. “I learned a lot from playing with older women.

I was really surprised they allowed me to play in the league. I appreciate the league allowing me to play basketball with the women.”

In addition to playing in the Elite 8 Basketball League, Taylor Brown also plays AAU Basketball for the New Jersey Sparks. The Pattersonbased basketball team has dominated middle school basketball in the Garden State area.

The New Jersey Sparks

has won several winter league championships.

Recently, the Sparks captured the American East Division Championship. They have also taken home three championships in the Girls Winter League in Neptune, New Jersey. The league features some of the top rising stars from New Jersey and Taylor Brown has been one of the top players in the league.

About three weeks ago, the New Jersey Sparks traveled to Kentucky for a basketball tournament. In their first game, Taylor scored 19 points and

5th Street to Frankford Avenue.’

“The spirit of that was that we didn’t want an organization that has never been a part of the community, never really been connected to its residents or serving them.”

Often it is the small organizations that are left out of opportunities to apply for grants because of either their size and/ or the burdensome application process. Not so with the KCF fund.

“We really wanted to have this fund be for organizations that have been serving this community, particularly smaller ones,” said Feuer-Edwards.

“This was about brining resources directly to the community.”

Another reason small, local organizations have been locked out of so many other opportunities to receive financial help in the form of grants is that some of them don’t possess the 501 (C ) 3 status legally identify-

ing them as an officially recognized nonprofit organization.

The KCF also requires a 501 (C) 3 status but also accepts applicants who have obtained fiscal sponsorship from a sponsoring organization with the status so that they are not precluded from applying.

In fact, not only were small organizations or service providers not excluded from participation but the Bread and Roses Foundation Community Fund, which serves as the fund administrator and facilitation partner for the grant, urged such groups to apply.

“We particularly encourage smaller and grassroots organizations/projects” reads the Bread and Roses Foundation websites KCF page under the ‘Grantee Eligibility’ section.

“The 20 nonprofit organizations that will receive these grants will advance community empowerment, neighborhood in-

vestment, and economic opportunity. Their work will improve the quality of life of Kensington area residents and provide the opportunities they deserve. The participatory grantmaking process was a key component of the strategy, allowing community members to make funding decisions for the benefit of all,” said Mayor Kenney.

The KCF fund was facilitated by The Bread and Roses Foundation and was funded by The Douty Foundation, The Scattergood Foundation, The K10 Kids Foundation, The Patricia Kind Family Foundation, and the City of Philadelphia.

It is expected that a second round of grants will be announced later in the year and those who wish to support, contribute, or donate to the KCF Fund can visit the https://breadrosesfund.org/kcrfdonation/ for more information.

arrisburg, PA – Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Dennis Davin and Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) Executive Director Andrea Lowery announced the latest recipients of the fiscal year 2020-21 Historic Preservation Tax Credits.

for separation, pertaining to a previously employed law enforcement officer to a prospective hiring agency.

“The database established by MPOETC is an added tool to assist in the hiring process of law enforcement personnel who are ultimately held to a higher standard of professionalism throughout the commonwealth,” said Colonel Robert Evanchick, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police. “I would like to thank all of the MPOETC commissioners, staff, information technology personnel, and members of the PSP who worked tirelessly to ensure the database was operational

by July 14.”

The database was created as a result of Act 57 of 2020, which was unanimously approved in the General Assembly and signed by Governor Wolf on July 14, 2020. It required MPOETC to develop a database to hold separation records of all law enforcement officers in the commonwealth defined as peace officers.

As required by law, on July 14, 2021 the database was operational and temporary regulations went into effect.

“The database is up and running, every department must participate, and it will save lives,” said Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

“This is a down payment on reform, one of many steps we need to take to fulfill the promise of safety and the promise of justice, so that every Pennsylvanian can be, and can feel, safe in their own community.”

The development of permanent regulations continued on page 9

will occur over the next year in accordance with the Regulatory Review Act and are required to be completed by March 2023. During this time, MPOETC will seek input and feedback of stakeholders and the public.

In addition, MPOETC will also use this time to test and refine the database and associated regulations to ensure compliance in carrying out the purposes of Act 57.

The database will contain more than 1,300 agencies and approximately 30,000 to 35,000 officers. Pennsylvania State Police Troopers and Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement Officers are included. Currently in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania there are 1,063 municipal law enforcement agencies with more than 22,000 officers.

“We’re not perfect. We recognize we have a few ‘bad apples’ in our bunch, and I think I speak for all of us when I say we want those bad apples out too. We want to continue to do the things we need to do, to restore a reputation that has been tarnished over the past year or so, by the actions of those few thoughtless individuals.

We want to nurture that public trust that once again fosters faith in local law enforcement and inspires little girls and boys to become police officers,” said York City Police Chief Michael Muldrow. “I commend Governor Wolf, our legislators and the commission for taking these first steps -- with the changes found in Act 57, the new database and the reporting requirements that come with it. It will undoubtedly help to fill in some of the cracks those individuals have been able to slip through.

We’re going to take it from there, pushing to be best versions of ourselves, not because it’s mandated, but because it’s the right thing to do.”

“Act 57 is the culmination of robust police accountability legislation, nonviolent direction action inspired by a diverse array of Pennsylvanians’ grassroots mobilizing efforts to address and correct deep inequities in policing and society at

large,” said state Representative Chris Rabb (DPhiladelphia). “With bolstered transparency measures adopted through the regulatory process, the proper resources and administrative rigor, this state inter-departmental law enforcement misconduct database has the potential to identify and ultimately reduce the number of law enforcement agency applicants with documented disciplinary actions against them that endanger community safety.”

“The launch of this police misconduct database moves us a step forward toward true police reform, accountability and transparency,” said state Representative Donna Bullock (D-Philadelphia), chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus. “Members of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus started advocating for this database after meeting with the mother of Antwan Rose who was fatally shot in 2018 by an officer sworn in just hours before. This database is a direct outcome of her advocacy, the Police Reform Working Group and many others.”

“The establishment of the police hiring database of all law enforcement officers is a critical step toward improving transparency and strengthening the bonds between the community and law enforcement,” said state Senator Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia).

“Bad actors often compromise the ability of police to effectively protect people by undermining the trust which is essential for a healthy relationship between the community and law enforcement. This is progress but we still have work to do.”

Addressing law enforcement reform is a priority for Governor Wolf.

In June 2020, the governor announced comprehensive police reform executive actions in the wake of the death of George Floyd when in Minneapolis police custody and subsequent protests in Pennsylvania and across the country.

READER ADVISORY: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.

Also, beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.
