Another Smoke-filled Backroom Deal in Harrisburg

– One That Hurts Our Children

T
he history of the Pennsylvania
State Legislature’s intervention
in the affairs of Philadelphia and
its citizens has been long and obtuse:
Public School and Parking control,
the Fair Funding Formula for public
schools, sensible gun registration, and
controls, etc.
But, seldom in that state vs. city nar-
rative has it more cynical, heavy-hand-
ed, and corrupt than in Harrisburg’s
backroom bludgeoning of the City’s
drive to restrict the sale of flavored
cigarillos - which negatively impacts
the health of our children.
These tobacco products are sold
in small packs of 4-5 smokes with
cheaper brands vended in neighbor-
hood corner stores going for less the
$1.00 – according to a recent opinion
piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer by
Colleen McCauley, Health Director
of Public Citizens for Children and
Youth (PCCY). Not only are they
cheap, McCauley says, but they con-
tain three times the tobacco as regular
cigarettes.
For some reason as well, flavored
cigarillos escape the cigarette tax that
channels up to $50 million back to the
city schools per year. Look at the irony
in that!
How did the State House move take
place? The public does not know. The
clause forbidding the city to restrict
the sale of tobacco products was qui-
etly inserted into the 2018-19 tax bill
at the last moment without any named
sponsors. Suffice to say two glaring
facts stand out. First, the legislative
budget process is controlled by the Re-
publican Party leadership. So, whether
they actually authored the ban or
not, they could have stopped it… but
didn’t. It would have been possible
for Governor Wolf to veto the budget
proposal, but sadly he didn’t do so.
Second, an article by the Inquirer
Editorial Board dated July 11 reveals
that just one huge tobacco company,
Altria, the parent company of Philip
Morris who sells Black and Mild ciga-
rillos invested more than $3.3 million
in lobbying in Harrisburg over the last
5 years! It’s easy to connect the dots!
The bottom line is that while our

Safer SW Summer! Gun Buyback Is Huge Success

T
he “No Questions Asked” gun
buyback sponsored by our
elected leaders, Sen. Anthony
Williams, State Rep. Joanna McClin-
ton, and City Councilman Kenyatta
Johnson June 30 was an outstanding
contribution to more “Safe Summer”
for residents and businesspersons and
for the officers of the 12th and 18th
Police Districts. “The final count was
approximately 300 guns of all kinds
– far exceeding our expectations,”
reflected Rep. McClinton.
“By the time front doors to the
Abiding Truth Ministries church at
57th Street and Washington Avenue
were opened this morning, there
were at least 30 of our neighbors
lined up with guns of all kinds,” at-
tested an impressed Captain Greg
Riley of the 18th District. “This ef-
fort will make our streets and homes
safer. There is an ebb and flow in
gun violence year by year for a
variety of reasons. But we know that
while the homicide trend is down

about 15 percent throughout the city
(down 18 percent in the 18th Dis-
trict), the incidence is higher by 15
percent in the Southwest.” Shooting
incidents and non fatal shooting vic-
tims are up this year by 26 percent
and 40 percent respectively.
“Every police officer has a stake
in this effort – that’s why there here
today,” added Capt. Riley. “We should
have these buybacks on a regular basis
and they should be well publicized.”
Capt. Riley expressed immense thanks
to VISA, Sporting Goods and Fresh
Grocers for donating the gift cards for
the guns turned in - $100 for rifles and
shotguns and $200 for hand guns and
assault rifles. He also recognized com-
munity partners Penn University and
Penn Medicine, Mercy Philadelphia
Hospital, Klutch Kings and Power 99
for their support.
“About 60 percent of the weapons
being turned in are hand guns with
the balance being rifles or long arms,”
indicated Community Affairs Officer
Jean Coriolan of the 18th District. “90
percent of what are turned in are going
to be destroyed by melting them down;
some which may have been stolen will
be returned to their owners. The buy-
back is so much more important in the
summer when the hot weather means
shorter tempers. When arguments oc-
cur, not having a gun around makes it
more likely that people will cool down
before tragic violence takes place.”

“The first week of the camp was a
blast!” indicated an enthusiastic Berman.
“We started off with some light activi-
ties and games to help everyone get to
know each other, and then transitioned
to learning about plants. We talked
about the resources plants need to grow,
like sunlight, water and carbon dioxide,
and about what plants can do for us. We
learned that in addition to providing
food and shade, they also give us oxygen,

which we need to breathe!”
“Throughout the summer, we are
conducting a summer-long science ex-
periment with two basil plants,” added
Bryan. “One plant will be given lots of
sunlight and water, and another plan
will be kept in the dark with no water.
The campers will be observing the
the outcomes. We are hoping that at the
end of the summer if the plant given
sunlight and water continues to grow,
we will all be able to taste a little bit of
the home-grown basil!”
“Our next class was all about the
different phases of matter,” noted Chiu.
“We learned about solids, liquids, and
gasses by playing with Oobleck, a slime
made of cornstarch and water and easy
to make at home. We learned that solids
have unique shapes, while liquids and
gasses do not have their own shapes,
and take the shape of whatever is hold-
ing them!”
“The older students also learned
about the molecules,” concluded
Hannigan. “The molecules in solids are
packed close together and barely move,
those in liquids are more spread out
and move around a little, and the mol-
ecules in gasses are super spread out
it has properties of both a solid and a
liquid. The students made their own
Oobleck slime and saw how the strange
substance could be hard like a solid, but
also spread out like a liquid.”
For the rest of the summer, the team

the human body, dental hygiene, public
safety and the environment, plus a field

Down” will feature a panel discussion
including the Rainey family who is
part of the award-winning documen-
tary “Quest.”
The second section will enable resi-
dents to interact with each other and
the event’s community partners.
The program will be recorded as a
memorial to honor friends and fami-
lies of those whose lives have been
altered by violence. There will be
artists and activists from The Village
of Arts and Humanities to help create
artwork emblemizing the trauma that
violence causes in an urban setting.
Entertainment and food will also be
provided.
