[UC] Clark Park Youth Soccer
Today, the last day, was beautiful weather and the Bowl was full of children, soccer balls, parents, friends, coaches, and up on the hill Melanie and coworkers laid out a not only delicious but healthy set of lunch sandwiches and fresh fruit and drinks from Abbraccio... AND of course, Trophies! Very shiny this year and with name plaques that looked quite professional. The kids from red, blue or yellow teams played each other, and grown ups and sometimes older brothers or sisters joined in. Seeing the happy kids, not only those that could say did you see my goal!! but those that just had fun scuffling, kicking, getting that ball, made one realize what a treasure not only the Park is, but the people who organize and run Youth Soccer. Hats off to you! It's a very special experience... volunteer coaches! Parents who come to watch! Not much like it around here. ...

Coal power is currently America's single biggest source of global warming pollution and brain-damaging mercury emissions. In addition, coal mining pollutes our drinking water and is an extremely dangerous occupation. Stand up for your health and the health of our earth. Tell Congress to promote clean energy, not coal power! Utilities across the country are pushing to build more than 150 new coal-fired power plants. Most of these plants would use old pulverized coal technology that is designed to last at least 40-50 years. But it's not too late to tell Congress our kids deserve better than coal. This holiday season, ask your members of Congress to start the new year fresh by promoting energy efficiency and clean, renewable sources of electricity like wind and solar.

Re: [UC] Inquirer UnivCity Front Article
I looked at the article and one reason the housing prices it quotes have gone up so much is that it defines Univ. City as going to 45th Street... this is within the Alexander school boundaires, which we know has had a major effect on house price, as expected. Actually, U. City goes to 50th St., or, more recently byone definition, to 52nd St. I think you would see a major difference... there are many really nice houses, but smaller, perhaps between where I live on 47th St (which has been U. city since it started, and we have lived here for 41 years) and 50th or 52nd St. So I think the article, while it makes a point about grad students and professionals, etc. moving in, is faulty. I do not know if apartment prices have gone up west of 45th, but I do know that a neigbor, who lives in and apt, run by Trammel Crow, last year, was strong armed to increase his rent until he pointed out his lease and threatened to call a lawyer. So there may be some illegal power playing going on in apartments. Btu they should get their facts straight!

Re: [UC] Recycling -- the fickle finger of fate
here's another idea, how about a prize for the three blocks that recycle the most... however I see that that also is impractical, since you'd have to weight them or see the bulk and it could go to a fraternity that has a huge beer party... oh well, it is as most things, try persuasion... At 10:37 PM -0400 6/20/2002, Jon P. Mourar wrote: In my message yesterday, I suggested it would be better that the Streets Dept. fine both those who don't recycle at all, and those who mix their recyclables in with their trash, rather than pick on poor folks like Roger Harman, who are recycling, but putting newspapers in plastic bags to keep them from getting wet. I realized soon after I sent the thing that there was an obvious problem with my statement, and I expected some comments! Sure enough, today I heard from Steph99, the first person who asked about not recycling at all. When you think about it, it's obvious that that particular aspect is almost impossible to enforce! I don't see how they could possibly require each household to put some recyclable(s) in the blue bucket every 2 weeks. What if you have no recyclables accumulated (hard to believe, but possible)? Maybe you would have to put out the empty bucket to show there is none? But what if you are away on vacation, and have no trash at all? I'm sure the trash guys are not checking off addresses as they pick stuff up anyway. That would be an enforcement nightmare. I would have to guess, that as long as you don't mix recycling stuff with trash, that they couldn't possibly fine you. In fact, I'll be pretty surprised if they actually fine people who mix it with their trash (although I would love to see it happen!). Are they going to start examining what's in trash bags? How much will they have to pay union laborers to do that? It may be worth it, though, as 100% recycling compliance (or anything approaching it) would greatly reduce the city's costs for disposing of waste. I expect if it happens, there will be occasional random checking by special workers, probably the SWEEP officers (Streets Dept. Enforcement ). Why don't we all just recycle like we're supposed to, and save the extra money necessary for enforcement for other needed services? (I know, hopeless utopian thinking).

[UC] Saturday Reading Club at Lea... starting Jan 12 this Saturday! call for mentors!
Very exciting development. After many years of struggle, Lea K-8 school now has an experienced and dynamic principal, Mr. Mike Silverman who is instituting several new programs. One of the two main foci is Literacy. We gave books to the first graders and read with them, and see that the range of skill is wide, some children read well, others barely. NOW! With the help of a grant and outreach from Center for Community Partnerships at Penn, there is to be Saturday Reading Club at Lea, probably in the new beautiful library and adjoining rooms from 9-12 hoping to try to catch those children who need extra help. YOU can make a difference to future community well being! Come and metnor a child, give an hour a Saturday (or more if you can) and let NO CHILD FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.. Hopefully, we will also make contact with parents, give the children books to take home when we see their interests, and generally push the joy of literacy and the different worlds that are in books, thus helping the children do better in school, and helping the community have more happy, achieving children You can email me for thoughts, or questions, or just COME TO LEA, FRONT DOOR ON LOCUST AT 47TH, AND COME TO THE OFFICE ON SATURDAY, JAN 12, ABOUT 9...
