[UC] Re: [UC-Announce] Obituary: Dr. Paul J. Palmerio
Liz, I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing such a fine tribute. He sounds like a great guy. Sincerely, Lewis On Apr 8, 2015, at 5:50 PM, Liz Campion, Realtor campio...@juno.com wrote: Obituary Paul J. Palmerio My sister, Dr. Antoinette Kruc, gave me the sad task of announcing the death, on April 4th, of her beloved husband Dr. Paul Palmerio, of cancer, at age 77. Toni asked that I inform extended family, close friends and all those who might have an interest in his passing. There will be visitation at D’Anjollel Memorial Home, 2811 W. Chester Pike, Broomall, PA 19008, on Friday April 10 from 7-9 PM and Saturday April 11th from 9-10:45 AM. A Funeral service will be held from 11-Noon. Family and friends are invited back brunch after the service at LaLaconda on W. Chester Pike. Paul’s involvement in the community, as the family doctor to thousands, is huge. I hope my message is shared where it can reach all those who care. Please forgive duplications. I had the good fortune to know Paul as a friend of the family, a big brother, (through marriage), doctor to me and my kids, friend and neighborhood hero. Paul attended St. Donato Grade School, St. Thomas More High School and St. Joseph University and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Paul first met Toni in the early 1960’s. He was a pharmacy salesman, she a recent PCPS, (now USIP), graduate working at Greene’s pharmacy on Baltimore. They developed a friendship that included lots of fun arguments whenever his beloved NY YANKEES were at bat. In 1963 Toni became a pharmacist at Riddle Memorial Hospital as Paul switched firms to join Bristol drugs. He once again found Toni on his sales route. Talks over lunch inspired them to apply for Med School. Toni felt well qualified, by her academic successes and pharmacy background, but faced the brick wall of gender prejudice. Paul was in the habit of defining himself as ‘just’ a former army and current sales person, from blue collar roots. Together they found the courage to apply to PCOM, a school that might take them both. They got in, and then the hard work began. They persevered through years of classes and excelled at training, all while working to support their families. The friendship grew during joint study sessions. After graduation, in 1977, there was a year of internships. The weekly study sessions segued to a weekly session of future planning and they realized they shared a common goal, to deliver general medicine to the neighborhoods in which they grew up (him in Overbrook and her in Spruce Hill). With the help of our sister, real estate broker Renee O’Donnell, and private financing from William Davis of the eponymous pharmacy, Toni and Paul were able to open Spruce Hill Medical in 1978. For several decades they gave quality care to patients as diverse as any population on the planet. With their pharmacy backgrounds they were often able to find free samples or low price drugs for their poorest patients, and as excellent diagnosticians they saved time, worry and lives across a huge swath of our neighborhood. When Spruce Hill Medical lost a Zoning battle, they continued their good work at KINGSESSING MEDICAL ASSOCIATES. I found Paul to be a thorough practitioner and thoughtful communicator. He granted me many favors for last minute appointments for Camp, Sports and School certificates for my kids and would occasionally help out some of the poorer kids on local teams, who would have been denied access to sports if an affordable (read free)exam and certificate could not be obtained. Paul was an athlete. He skied, for the Army, in the Italian Alps. He also played on a traveling Army baseball team. Paul had a special place in his heart for kids who played sports. Among his greatest joys was taking his granddaughter skiing and reveling in their Soccer successes. Paul collected sports memorabilia, and when his collection grew too large he and Toni ran a successful side business of selling the items. Paul was a life time traveler, even though most of his life was spent close to his West Philly roots. When he finished his Army stint in Vicenza, Italy, he remained in Europe for a full year, on the GI version of a grand tour. He and Toni traveled extensively through-out New England, the Rockies, our State Parks, Canada and Europe and especially loved Northern Italy. When asked how they had survived the last few years of illness and impending loss, Toni said that as Doctors, they “both knew Paul’s diagnosis was a death sentence”. They “expected 6-9 months and felt gifted to have had over 3 years”. Toni was happy that Paul was able to work until March 19, and that “he was able to enjoy life, laugh and smile every day”. She feels “grateful for every extra day with him”. Toni defines their marriage

[UC] What new Philadelphia tax plan would mean for renters- from Philly.com
Don't expect this story to answer the question the headline implies.-Lewishttp://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/city/20120613_What_new_Philadelphia_tax_plan_would_mean_for_renters.html?c=0.06678940002564349posted=yviewAll=y#commentsWhat new Philadelphia tax plan would mean for rentersByCatherine LuceyDaily News Staff WriterPhiladelphia Daily NewsREADER FEEDBACKPost a commentGREG PASTORE, a landlord with three rental properties in the city's Bella Vista section, says that if Mayor Nutter's property-tax overhaul passes, he'll likely have to raise rents. Even so, he thinks he'll still take a financial hit."You can only take it up so high," said Pastore, 45, who makes a modest income from the buildings, which have commercial and residential units. "These are old buildings. Young kids just out of college are the tenants."Renters as a group haven't been much discussed in the raging debate over Nutter's plan to move the city to a property-tax system based on market values, known as the Actual Value Initiative (AVI). But tenant-advocacy groups say renters in neighborhoods where tax bills are shooting up could see higher rents — and the protections being discussed by City Council wouldn't apply to them."Clearly, any tax overhaul is going to affect tenants indirectly," said Phil Lord, executive director of the Tenant Union Representative Network. "The challenge is how to deal with the long-term tenant or low-income tenant. We believe there's a lack of parity between homeowners and tenants."Council is discussing an exemption that would cap tax bills for longtime homeowners in gentrified neighborhoods. And all owner-occupiers would potentially be eligible for a homestead exemption that would lower their assessment by $30,000.Councilman Jim Kenney acknowledged that renters would not be covered by those protections. But he said he's looking to introduce legislation in the fall that would limit the amount a landlord could raise rent."I have concerns about the renting population," Kenney said. "My staff is looking at some measures. Typically they're done in [Washington] D.C., because of the large number of renters there."But those protections would likely not cover the landlords renting out the buildings. Some real-estate experts noted that landlords probably couldn't pass on the entirety of a tax hike anyway and said that a rise in taxes may push some to sell their properties."A lot of people become landlords because they can't sell their property or they perceive they can't sell their property," said real-estate agent John Featherman. "For these individuals the question will be, ‘Does the fear of the unknown inspire them to sell instead of rent?' "Still, Pastore wondered if he'd even be able to sell the buildings he bought in the late 1990s, given the uncertainty about taxes."Who would I sell them to? Nobody in his right mind would buy any property right now," Pastore said. "I will eat out less, I guess. What else am I going to do?n

[UC] Fwd: We won! DRBC cancelled Monday's meeting
Begin forwarded message: From: Protecting Our Waters protectingourwat...@gmail.com Date: November 17, 2011 7:57:03 PM EST To: protectingourwat...@lists.riseup.net, pow-organiz...@googlegroups.com Subject: We won! DRBC cancelled Monday's meeting Reply-To: protectingourwat...@lists.riseup.net Philadelphia -- In a stunning victory for all of us who value public health, the Delaware River Basin Commission has cancelled their public meeting, planned for the 1,800 seat Patriots Theater in the War Memorial in Trenton on Monday morning. Apparently the DRBC does not like to have their regulations voted down. Governor Markell of Delaware publicly announced he would vote against the proposed regulations, in the interest of science, public health and the environment. We are thrilled that some elected officials are listening to the outcry against high-volume slickwater hydraulic fracturing with horizontal drilling (fracking)! Never has there been a more reasonable outcry. We know we can't live without clean air, clean water and clean food; we know our grandchildren may need this gas, but we don't need it. We need to lead our nation away from fossil fuels altogether, and fast. The cancellation of the DRBC meeting is a turning of the wheel of the nation away from that insanity. We are taking the helm. We are going sane. The huge coalition we put together, including labor, students, community groups, businesses, environmentalists, scientists, physicians and public health advocates has put persistent pressure, in all the right places, with one great voice uniting against devastating our land, poisoning our water, and sickening our people for the sake of short-term profits. We are proud to be among this powerful ocean of voices for sane energy policy, for conservation, for beauty and wholeness, for health and vitality, undermining the cold corporate greed and arrogance which took for granted they could poison us here too. No they can't! NOTE: The nonviolence trainings planned for Sunday evening in Trenton and NYC are STILL ON! A press conference, rally, and likely a well-designed and high-spirited program including training, learning, and empowering organizing is expected to be offered at the Trenton venue where DRBC would have had their vote, on Monday. Stay tuned for more details. --Iris Gas Drilling Vote Cancelled Delaware Governor to Vote No For Immediate Release November 17, 2011 Contacts: Maya K. van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper 215 801 3043 cell Tracy Carluccio, Deputy Director, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, 215 692 2329 cell Trenton, NJ: The November 21, 2011 vote to be held at the Trenton War Memorial by the Delaware River Basin Commission has been cancelled according to sources. The vote was to seek approval of regulations that would have allowed shale gas drilling in the Delaware River Basin by the beginning of 2012. The last minute cancellation is the second time this vote has been put off. And this time is believed to be in response to an announcement by the Governor of Delaware that he would vote against the regulatory/ drilling proposal. Delaware Riverkeeper Maya van Rossum praised Governor Markell. “Governor Markell has listened to the will of the people, to the science and to the tremendous environmental and community harm being caused by gas drilling where it is happening. The issue of shale gas drilling has finally moved out of the political arena and is now being treated as an issue of genuine public policy concern,” said Delaware Riverkeeper van Rossum. “The residents of this region stood firm and demanded protection from the ravages of gas drilling; forcing the politicians to listen or risk their political ambitions,” van Rossum added. While official announcement of the cancelled meeting has not yet been provided by the DRBC, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network confirmed this evening the availability of the Trenton War Memorial venue, considering it for their own uses, confirming its source information that the meeting has in fact been cancelled. “This is a big win for our communities,” said Tracy Carluccio, Deputy Director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network. “For the past month citizens have been writing letters, sending emails, and leaving phone messages for their elected officials – while at first they didn’t want to hear us, enough people reached out that they have been forced to.” “This is a big win for the River and the region” concluded van Rossum, “Now we just need to put the nail in the coffin and make sure gas drilling in the Delaware River watershed stays down and out of our basin.” # -- Iris Marie Bloom Director, Protecting Our Waters protectingourwaters.com Organizer, Shale Gas Outrage shalegasoutrage.org Phone: 215.840.6489 ~ Email: protectingourwat...@gmail.com The frog does

I just noticed 2 kittens living in discarded debris behind an apartment building on 50th St. I will attempt to capture them before the trash hauling company comes. I can deliver them somewhere, but I am allergic to cats and my dog chases them, so they can't come into my house. I don't have internet access there, so please call me with any info rather than replying to this email.

I urge the DEP to require constant air monitoring on equipment for the entire operating life of this station. In addition, I urge the DEP to perform a proper aggregation analysis to determine the cumulative effects of all equipment and to ensure that emissions are kept under the thresholds set for major sources. This will help protect the air and health for communities close to the Barto Station, those living down-wind, and other Pennsylvania residents.

Begin forwarded message: From: Protecting Our Waters protectingourwat...@gmail.com Date: October 11, 2011 8:10:47 PM EDT To: protectingourwat...@lists.riseup.net Subject: Urgent: Call Philadelphia City Council Wednesday to Support Lawsuit to Forbid Fracking in DRB Reply-To: protectingourwat...@lists.riseup.net URGENT ACTION SUMMARY: 1. Call / Fax Philadelphia Council to pass Jones/Reynolds Brown Resolution; CALL ON WEDNESDAY OCT. 12th by 5 pm! 2. Come in person to Philadelphia City Hall by 10 AM (arrive 9:30 AM to get through security; bring photo ID) Thursday Oct. 13th. WHERE: City Hall (Broad and Market Streets, Philadelphia, 19107: Council Chambers, Fourth Floor) HOW LONG: 10 AM – 12 NOON (session may run later). Bring signs! ALL COUNCILMEMBERS' PHONE NUMBERS and FULL RESOLUTION is here: www.protectingourwaters.com WHAT/WHY: It’s about time…. With a vote now expected to open the Delaware River Basin (DRB) to fracking on November 21st, it’s high time the City of Philadelphia joins in with New York’s Attorney General, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Damascus Citizens for Sustainability and others suing the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) to forbid fracking at least until a Basin-specific study of cumulative impacts is completed, along with the EPA study on hydrofracking impacts on drinking water. Philadelphia City Councilman Curtis Jones and Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown have introduced a resolution enabling the City of Philadelphia to join, as a Friend of the Court, the New York and other lawsuits, gathering strength and force. The industry is opposing this resolution more actively than usual, since it has teeth and they don’t like teeth. The fracking industry is pressing Council to oppose the Resolution. We need your support in favor! Urgent: The Jones/Reynolds Brown resolution will be voted on on Thursday, October 12th.Please call Councilmembers on Wednesday, October 12th and come in person, 10 AM – 12 noon, to City Hall on Thursday. We don’t need arsenic, benzene, 2-butoxyethanol, chlorides, diesel, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, hydrochloric acid, radium 226 or any other fracking flowback contaminants in our water or air, and we must protect our neighbors’ health. Raise your voice! Call on WEDNESDAY, October 12th, 9 – 5, beginning with your own City Councilperson if you live in Philadelphia — just go to www.seventy.org to find out who your Councilperson is. All Councilmembers' phone numbers are here: http://protectingourwaters.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/call-phila-city-council-weds-oct-12th-pass-resolution-joining-lawsuits-to-forbid-fracking-thurs-oct-12th-pack-the-hall/ The resolution is sponsored by Councilman Curtis Jones, Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown, and Councilwoman Quinones Sanchez. Please thank the three of them; hold Councilman Kenney to his promise of a “yes” vote; and urge every other member of Council to protect the immediate and long-term integrity and health of Philadelphia’s drinking water and air, and the food, forests, farms, economy, and public health of our region by saying YES to the Jones/Reynolds Brown resolution. A boom-bust economy is not a healthy economy; a healthy economy requires diverse, lasting, safe clean union jobs and an intact, thriving ecotourism base, which this region has and cannot afford to lose. Gas drilling workers are exposed to high levels of contaminants and sometimes ask why their clothes are eaten away and their skin is blistered. What’s the rush? Marcellus Shale has been there 380 million years. Let’s maintain the moratorium until we understand how shale gas drilling contributes to global scorching and until we find out what all these toxic chemicals, kept secret due to the industry’s special exemptions, do to the environment, fish, wildlife and domestic animals, and human health! This is a two-day alert. Call/Fax Wednesday; Come to City Hall Thursday.

What: Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) special meeting about gas drilling When: Friday, October 21st 10 AM – 12 NOON, Assemble at 7:30 AM Where: Patriots Theater, War Memorial, 1 Memorial Drive Trenton, NJ 08608 Why: DRBC has called this special meeting to vote on opening the Delaware River Watershed to fracking, ignoring tens of thousands who've stood up for our ecosystem, our economy, our lives. People are already taking the day off from work, school and their normal schedules to travel to Trenton on Friday, October 21st to stand together to protect our water and to insist on putting health, science and sanity ahead of corporate rule and economic ruin. Get on the Bus: Protecting Our Waters is organizing buses which will leave at 6:30 AM from 30th Street Station on Friday, October 21st. We must get to Trenton early in order to fill the seats, as the industry is expected to send busloads. Bus tickets may be purchased soon at protectingourwaters.com; until then send bus inquiries to a...@protectingourwaters.com . Background: For over three years, Delaware Riverkeeper Network has been leading the fight to protect the Delaware River Watershed from pollution from toxic gas drilling. For over two years, Protecting Our Waters has joined that fight along with many great allies. Concerted action has helped keep the moratorium on drilling in place. Most importantly, residents of the entire four-state watershed have enabled us, working together, to generate tens of thousands of comments demanding a continued moratorium and insisting on a cumulative impact study for this watershed, which has not been done. In the last comment period alone (Dec. 8 2010- April 15, 2011), 69,800 people filed comments with the DRBC – a magnificent, unprecedented level of public participation. But the DRBC -- a four-state entity composed of the governors of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Delaware along with the federal government, represented by the Army Corps of Engineers -- doesn't seem to be listening. Despite the vast amount of public comment, the scientifically informed in-person testimony provided by countless residents of the four-state watershed, and several active lawsuits, the DRBC has scheduled a special meeting on October 21st to consider adoption of the regulations they have drafted in order to move forward with fracking. This action would lift the current moratorium on high- volume slickwater hydraulic fracturing for methane gas in the Delaware River Basin. The New York Attorney General, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, and Damascus Citizens for Sustainability have all filed lawsuits to prevent the DRBC from moving ahead with their existing inadequate regulations with no impact studies. We'd like the City of Philadelphia to join in that effort. Those of you in Philly, call your City Councilperson, and the Mayor’s office, right now to ask them to step up! (Just go to seventy.org to find the phone numbers you need) On October 21st, we need to be there in large numbers -- all ages, all walks of life; class field trips, labor unions, faith-based communities, everyone who drinks water and breathes air. As usual, DRBC meetings are scheduled at times that are terrible for working people. So students, retired people, and those with flexible schedules please do all you can to fill in that gap and come to Trenton October 21st! Meanwhile, Call the Guv: All hands on deck: Don't wait for October 21st to raise your voice! Call all four Delaware River Basin Governors' now. Q: What's this got to do with the rest of PA and the region? A: See our new blog post: Protecting the Delaware River Basin is Critical to Stopping Drilling Elsewhere Psst: To keep up with all the issues we're posting information about, from little-known documentation (dead calves born to quarantined cows in Tioga County after cows drank from water tainted by fracking flowback-- post 2 pm today) to the inspiring -- (Sandra Steingraber wins Heinz award and dedicates the $100,000 to the fight against fracking) -- please subscribe to our blog anytime: just go to www.protectingourwaters.com, scroll down on the right side of the blog to stay informed and add your email.

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/130208533.html Rutgers-Camden Chancellor Appointed to SRC By Martha Woodall and Susan Snyder INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS Mayor Nutter has appointed the chancellor of Rutgers University-Camden to the Philadelphia School Reform Commission. Wendell E. Pritchett, a scholar in urban history who has experience in government policy, will fill one of the vacancies on the five member commission. Pritchett resides in the city's University City neighborhood and taught law at the University of Pennsylvania law school between 2001-09 and was the associate dean of the law school between 2006 and 2008. Since June of 2009, he has been the chief executive officer at Rutgers University-Camden. There was no immediate word from the mayor's office when Pritchett would be sworn in. Nutter's announcement came one day after Robert L. Archie Jr. and Johnny Irizarry resigned their seats. Both were appointed by the mayor. The governor appoints three members of the SRC.

Biking westbound over South Street bridge this morning in the rain I noticed the river is almost over the piers. I predict that they will be submerged later today. Earlier, eastbound over Greys Ferry, I noted that the piers for the permanently open, spinning bridge are almost underwater. As I approached Franklin Field, I saw 2 guys caring for UPenn's new sod and trees down below. 2 guys, a pickup truck with a water tank and gas-powered pump. One guy was watering and the other was trying to stay dry in the rain. I worry about the risk of over-watering. You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

The interesting verbiage from the Press release… http://www.phillycarshare.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/EHI-acquires-PCS.pdf The acquisition closes tomorrow, Aug. 10. Financial terms of the transaction will not be disclosed. PhillyCarShare will operate as a for-profit service, and the brand name will be maintained during the integration process. Almost all PCS staff members have been offered positions. It looks like the sale might be related to taxes as much as anything, (loss of 501c status?) as the press release contains the following... In June 2010, a New York Supreme Court Justice found that car sharing “is in 'the trade or business of renting or leasing motor vehicles' as those words are traditionally and plainly understood. In addition, the judge wrote: This bargain – use of a car in exchange for a fee – appears little different from ‘traditional rental car’ companies...” I'm not certain why that reference is in the press release… pretty much out of context where it is inserted. Personally, based on my past experience with the acquisition of National Car Rental by Enterprise/Almo, I expect rates to go up and service to go down. In any event, it is good to see that Private Enterprise has decided to support the shared vehicle model and be a tax paying, instead of tax consuming entity.

It contains a mix of different species, which may react differently in specific locations. Hanes is the professional in charge, and he doesn't think Roundup is causing this phenomenon. For us laymen, this makes sense as well. Roundup was applied evenly across the park, so it shouldn't cause patchy damage. Hanes emphasized that newly-aid sod is still fragile. It needs to be babied during its first year. Park-lovers will be working to spread that word. Ray (that's University Citoyen's real name, for newcomers), if you want to organize an organic-compost movement for the park, that would be wonderful! Please coordinate with Friends of Clark Park and we'll explore if this is workable. Dandelions or clover were not included in the new sod which was laid down, so it's unlikely you'd expect to see them this soon. Don't worry, all you weed-lovers, they'll enter soon enough by themselves; you don't need to spend half a mill to plant them. You repeat a foolish error, Ray, when you babble about Penn's UCD. Hanes was paid entirely by Friends of Clark Park, which has run a multi-year campaign to come up with the $75,000 needed just for his blueprint. The work was approved and contracted by the City of Philadelphia. While UCD is one of maybe 10 helpful partners on the Clark Park Committee, it played a minor role at best in the Park A Revitalization Campaign; your employer Penn's role was, if anything, smaller. In the meantime, Roundup foes should quit focusing on Clark Park, where its use has ceased. They should turn instead to Woodland Building Supply at 47th Woodland, which sells the same stuff to some of your neighbors, day in and day out. So if you believe Clark Park poses a Roundup hazard from a one-time use during construction, your neighbors pose an even-greater hazard, no?

[UC] Legitimate scrapping vs theft
Rick, I have no formal legal training, so I'll take a stab at it: Legitimate scrapping requires the permission of the property owner or their designated agent (eg: plumbing contractor) to go onto their land in order to haul away their unwanted metal. Theft is when you don't have such permission, but you take their stuff anyway because you think that no one will notice until you're too far away for them to read your license plate number. I believe that it's trespassing to go onto someone's property to see if there's a lock and chain that will need to be cut. -Lewis On Nov 1, 2010, at 5:22 PM, Richard Conrad wrote: Leila, +/or whomsoever, If this is going to continue could you distinguish between something like metal scrap recycling from stuff put out for collection - and someone ripping off storm doors to resell as scrap.

(we also know from experience that folks have tons of questions about materials we've never given much thought to before). We believe they will take everything that Blue Mountain took with some clarifications below. Waste Management is stressing that nearly all of the accepted materials are packaging.

[UC] Wendell Pritchett in the news
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/20100501_Rutgers-Camden_chancellor_making_his_mark.html Posted on Sat, May. 1, 2010 Rutgers-Camden chancellor making his mark By Matt Katz Inquirer Staff Writer The plan, he thought, was to use the Philadelphia pedigree, the Ivy League credentials, the congressional office experience, the polished persona - and run for office in Philadelphia. His mother knew better. I knew it would be academic all along, Carolyn Pritchett said. She was right. Wendell Pritchett's ceaseless curiosity was best suited to the lecture hall, even if a politician's charm and a propensity toward public policy still lingered. Now, Pritchett, who has a doctorate in urban history and a legal mind fascinated by the complexities of urban transformation, has found a laboratory where his passions collide: Camden. Rutgers-Camden's new chancellor is a West Philly resident, renowned expert on urban affairs, former policy director to Mayor Nutter, assistant coach for his daughter's otherwise all-boys Little League team, and the newest player in Camden's latest effort at revitalization. Pritchett, 45, said he now has no interest in elected office. Instead, he has bold plans for Rutgers University's sometimes overlooked Camden campus, and those plans come just as the political establishment has divined the city's colleges and hospitals, dubbed eds and meds, as the best hope for saving this troubled city. Eleven months after leaving as associate dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School to become chancellor, Pritchett hasn't saved anything yet. But he has left his mark both at the chancellor's office in a stately downtown rowhouse and at City Hall, two blocks away. Consider his commitment to build two dorms, his mandate to attract more students from city high schools, and his goal to quadruple the number of students living on campus. He is opening a new nursing school and presiding over the launch of two Ph.D. programs - one in computational and integrative biology, the other in public affairs. Both are intended as new niches for the school. Pritchett also has vowed to double university spending with city and Camden County vendors in five years, in an effort to help local businesses. It's really extraordinary how much he's accomplished in less than a year, said his colleague Steven Diner, Rutgers-Newark's chancellor. He's tactful and friendly, but also forceful. A city kid who grew up on the other side of the Delaware River, at Second and Locust Streets, where his parents still live, Pritchett has drawn the most attention for his public and aggressive efforts to engage students with the city. In January, at the school's first Civic Engagement Symposium, Pritchett promised to turn the school into a national model for a civically engaged university. He opened an Office of Civic Engagement, intended as a bridge between the city and the 6,100-student campus. He wants more city internships and more classes like one that began this year on the history of Camden. And as a child of two public-school teachers, Pritchett desperately wants to aid the city's schools, among the worst in the state. He has hired a director of public-school partnerships to lead the charge. Pritchett meets with the city school superintendent monthly to discuss a future Rutgers partnership with a North Camden school, and to aid the district with analysis of student data. At these meetings, the educational leaders also monitor the progress of teenagers in the expanding Future Scholars program, where Rutgers staff members mentor Camden students toward a possible four-year Rutgers scholarship. And through the Center for Urban Research, which Pritchett created, he sees an opportunity to attract national experts on cities to be professors. For a long time we didn't have an identity for the campus, and now he's working toward that, said Gloria Bonilla-Santiago, director of Rutgers' Center for Strategic Urban Community Leadership. He's a new type of leadership, like Obama-type of leadership. It's refreshing, it's new, it's hopeful, it's the medicine we needed here on our campus. As an engaging speaker, a former law professor, and the first African American to lead a Rutgers campus, the Obama comparison is tempting. Pritchett has certainly shown an affinity for politics. Early in his career he directed the district offices of former U.S. Rep. Thomas M. Foglietta, the South Philadelphia Democrat, and he chaired the Obama campaign's Urban Policy Task Force. Pritchett had a stint as Nutter's director of policy, and after Dana L. Redd was elected mayor of Camden last year, he cochaired her transition team. The two now speak about once a week. He has revitalized the Rutgers-Camden campus, and he's really raised [the school's] profile, said Redd, an alumna herself. We've been so

[UC] big ups to Mayor Nutter for continuing to expand recycling
big ups to Mayor Nutter for continuing to expand recycling Posted: Thursday, 03 December 2009 3:42PM Philadelphia to Begin Rewarding Residents for Recycling by KYW's Karin Phillips The City of Philadelphia has launched a program designed to boost the rate of recycled trash in the city. Flanked by other city officials, mayor Michael Nutter kicked off the program on Thursday at 28th and Diamond Streets in Strawberry Mansion, the first section of the city that will be able to participate. Basically, you get paid for your recycling. The more you recycle, the more reward points you get for coupons redeemable at restaurants, local and national stores, and even to make donations to nonprofit organizations. Ron Gonen is founder and CEO of Recycle Bank, which will run the program for the city: You want to make sure you recycle and you make sure that you encourage your neighbors to recycle. You're going to be rewarded for participating each week, and then you're also going to be rewarded for the amount that your neighborhood and community recycle. Block captain Robert Eding says it's a great idea: It will help everybody know that we're going to have to keep our blocks clean in order to keep the city clean, because it starts by one block at a time. The program will be citywide by next June. More information is available atphillyrecyclingpays.com. (Photo by KYW's Karin Phillips)

Goldman included below] All public and charter schools are required under the No Child Left Behind legislation to send the name, address, phone of all 11th and 12th grade students to the military recruiters. However, the School District is also required by law to tell the children and their parents that they may sign an opt out form to keep their information private. Either the parent or student may sign. Usually these forms are not given out uniformly and explained in schools as they should be. By signing the form a student is merely keeping her/his contact information private ( so as not to be bombarded at dinner for example). Please pass this information along to any students and their families who would be affected by this. Below is information directly from the School District web site under students (www.phila.k12.pa.us ). I have also attached the opt out form itself from the School District site. Thank you for helping to pass along this information. Mary How NOT to Have Student Name and Address Released to Military Recruiters For Students Military Opt-Out Form: Students in Grades 11 and 12 The federal and state governments require that The School District automatically release your name, gender, address, telephone number, and school name to military recruiters (unless you fill out a student opt out form).

[UC] 47 Balt-Found Dog- Male black lab

He seems to be purebred but is a bit larger than most black labs I have seen- around the size of a yellow lab- so it's possible he is a mix. The dog is male, so it's not the same one someone posted about yesterday. He did not have a collar, was not neutered and had some sores on his legs so we think he has been out on the street for a while. He was also pretty skinny and smelly, and seemed to have bad dandruff (which is probably flea related). However he was fine when we caught him and put him on the leash and was very friendly and calm and sat calmly in our car on the way to the SPCA. He didn't bark at all the entire hour or so we had him. He knew the command sit and heeled very well on a leash. It's possible that he used to be someones dog and has just been out on the street for a while. We took him to the Philadelphia SPCA and hopefully they will fix him up and find him a good home. If this is your missing dog, that is where he is. If you'd like to adopt a very friendly black lab, then the SPCA just got a new one. :) -Arielle -- Arielle Kuperberg Doctoral Candidate, Sociology and Demography University of Pennsylvania http://arielletk.googlepages.com/ ___ members mailing list memb...@chesteravenuedogpark.com http://chesteravenuedogpark.com/mailman/listinfo/members_chesteravenuedogpark.com
[UC] kitten found-49th and Beaumont
Forwarded from Chester Ave Dog Park list: I found a stray kitten(about 4 mos.) at 49th and Beaumont on 8/18. He is black and white with a black smut nose. He was very skinny and flea ridden, but I took him to the vet. He has been wormed and had some shots and flea protection, but had a bite mark on his leg (so no rabies shot yet) and appears to have a fractured pelvis, though I did not do x-rays. He walks around fine however. He's FIV and leukemia neg. and needs a new home as I already have 6 cats and a dog (not afraid of the dog at all ) I will keep him for 6 weeks to be sure there are no rabies from the bite, and Beth Van Horn will help me get him neutered and the final shots. But he really needs a home then. Please ask your friends. He's very affectionate. If you know someone who might want him, email me at ashat74...@aol.com

[UC] Re: recycling alert: all that stuff that you can't put out on trash day
Suzanne, Leaving waste at the curb with the confidence that it will disappear and the hope that it will be properly disposed of is certainly a lot less trouble than actually disposing of it properly. You are in good company because most people don't give much thought to what actually happens to the things that they put out with their trash. Do you believe that the guy who took your freezer away for you pumped out the refrigerant and contained it as required? I suspect that he cut the copper and vented the refrigerant to the atmosphere. Since that's how it's always been done in my neighborhood I can understand why you would be resistant to doing it differently in the future. Here is a link to the US Environmental Protection Administration's guidelines for proper disposal of refrigerants:. http://www.epa.gov/Ozone/title6/608/608fact.html I am also skeptical that someone from WestPhillyFreeCycle (a GREAT resource) is going to come and relieve me of my dead battery collection. http://www.freecycle.org/group/US/Pennsylvania/Philadelphia:%20West% 20Philly -Lew On Jun 7, 2009, at 12:25 AM, Suzanne B.

Shoot, we pulled long dead deep freezer with mummified food and other , uh, fauna, in it and someone asked if we were giving it away! He was happy to take it away and we were hapy to not have to pay 30cents on the dollar to trash it. And there's always Freecycle. In my experience, pretty much anything has value to someone.

[UC] found kitten itvo 48th Springfield
Hello Lew, I was hoping that you could cross post this: I found a kitten about 6-8 months hanging in the bushes in Joan's garden on the 48th st side near springfield ave for the past two days. I think she is a she and is a torte shell pastel color ( light grey with markings ) She did not appear malnorished , or unkept nor did she have any collar or ID on. So after seeing her there for two days early in the am and late in the eve. I took her home. Would love to give her back to her owner if she is lost and was not discarded. If you have heard of anyone who lost their kitty please send them my way. If you know of anyone who wants a kitty send them my way. Will post some flyers . I would appreciate it if you could cross post and or let me know if you see any signs about a lost kitten. She is very sweet, so she definitely had a home.

[UC] recourse for people who receive bogus trash and recycling tickets
I think that attending these hearings and demanding accountability regarding the recyling/trash ticketing program would be a great thing for someone (other than me) to do. A less time-consuming and frustrating option for people who receive bogus tickets like these (even registered Republicans or Independents) is to contact Marty Cabry or John Fenton in Councilwoman's Blackwell's office. -Lew On Mar 22, 2009, at 9:11 AM, krf...@aol.com wrote: To everyone who feels strongly about trash tickets: The Streets Department goes hat-in-hand to a city council budget hearing on Monday, April 27, from 2:00 to 3:30pm. The public can sign up to testify at these hearings. It might be interesting for someone to ask: How much money does the city gross and net from these tickets? Where does the money go (does the Streets Dept get it, does it go into the general fund, does it just disappear)? What evidence is there that this program has fulfilled its purported purpose of cleaner streets? I don't like paying the fines for highly dubious supposed violations. But I don't feel strongly enough to devote the time to prepare for and present testimony. Maybe someone else does. Always at your service and ready for a diatribe -- er, dialog.

Please read Please read and crosspost to any and all who might be able to help: If anyone is interested contact Kelly Wilson at the address below From: WILSON, KELLY kelly.wil...@gopmg.com As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco. We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue has already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort. Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to even get into the car without Cookie. She absolutely pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side. Both doggies are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin. Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco will be 3 April 1st. Cookie is my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably funny and lives for her ball. She also loves the water. Cookie loves lots of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family dogs. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice. Please, please forward these pics to all you know and help me find a great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them. I pray that someone somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

[UC] link to SEPTA travel advisory regarding trolleys in the tunnel
I have no sense of whether this site is kept current because I look to see if the blue light is flashing at 42nd St. to indicate the trolleys divert. http://www.septa.org/travel_advisory/subway_trolley.html I've noticed that those who choose to compare Phila to NYC are often discouraged. Just sayin' GO EAGLES!!! -Lew On Jan 11, 2009, at 6:31 PM, Gerardo Razumney wrote: I am aware of that, and I would not have been surprised if they had just transferred me to SEPTA for an answer -- I was interested to see if they happen to have that sort of information. The point I was trying to make is that after waiting over ten minutes nobody had taken my call; in New York the answer to 311 is virtually instantaneous, it rings once and a real person answers the call.

[UC] BIG ups to 311
I used the City's new 311 info number on Wed to report a suspected abandoned car that has been collecting leaves for a few months. After waiting through cycles of a canned message reminding me that my call was important and encourging me to continue to wait, the operator was cheerful and helpful. She also cautioned me that, although she was submitting the report immediately, it could take numerous weeks before the car disappeared. The car was gone by Thursday afternoon! Hopefully someone got their stolen car back. I guess I can rake up those leaves now. One thing was a little challenging: when I entered 311 into my cell phone it wouldn't dial the number because it thought I was referencing a speed-dial number. If anyone else has this problem, try my solution: I entered 311 into my phone's directory under info and then called info. That worked for me. I think that 311 is to be used instead of the old 215-MU6-1776 number. Go Eagles! -Lew You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

[UC] WEEKLY Recycling starts this week
Here is the scoop from Maurice Sampson on what to recycle. -Lew Begin forwarded message: Greetings, Starting January 5th the City of Philadelphia will be collecting recyclables every week, on the same day as your trash collection rather than bi-weekly as it has been. This should make it a great deal easier for everybody to recycle as you will no longer have to remember which week you put your recyclables out on! The more we recycle and reuse, the more money we can save the city! Every ounce counts! What you can recycle in the city's recycling collection: Metal: Tin and aluminum cans, empty aerosol cans, empty paint cans Glass: Jars and bottles Mixed Paper: Newspaper, magazines, mail (junk and personal), phone books, food boxes (remove plastic liner), computer paper, flyers, wrapping paper (no foil or plastic wrap), soda and beer cartons (no food-soiled paper, please!) Plastic Containers: Recycle #1 and #2 plastics ONLY (mostly beverage and detergent containers). These containers have narrow necks and wider bottoms. Check the underside of each container for the number 1 or 2. All container lids are recyclable and best if removed from containers. Corrugated Cardboard: Empty and flattened Put your recyclables in bins. You can use an official city container, or other containers of approximate 25 gallons or less clearly labelled that it's recycling. You don't need an official city containter to recycle, an old kitchen trashcan or laundry baskets, paper bags, 5-gallon buckets, etc. are perfectly good to put your recyclables out in. If you want an official city bin you can pick them up at the following locations: Northwest Domino Lane Umbria Street Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm Northeast State Road Ashburner Street Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm North, Fishtown Delaware Avenue between Castor Avenue Lewis Street Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm West 51st Street Grays Avenue Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm South, Southwest 3033 South 63rd Street (near Passyunk Avenue) Monday . Saturday 8am to 6pm or your local city Recreation Centers may have bins. -- Turning Old Into New?: Please Take Materials Exchange : www.pleasetake.org A 501(c)3 Non-profit Organization Arts and Environmental Resource Network Assisstance Rehabbing Warehouse Needed.
