An Assessment of Charter Schools

In conjunction with National School
Choice week, the Oregon educa-
tion think tank, Research for Action,
released its assessment of the Charter
School situation in Philadelphia –which
it has been studying for the past 25
years.
The hard facts released by the School
District of Philadelphia indicate a
major shift in the education of our city
children over the past 10 years. En-
rollment in charter schools has almost
doubled from 40,000 to 75,500 students
in 2018. During the same decade, the
enrollment in city public schools has
declined from 160,000 students to
128,100 last year.
Funding of our public schools from
outside sources, mostly state and
national agencies, has risen somewhat
under the Wolf Administration in Har-
risburg but has never recovered from
the disastrous cuts it received during The Philadelphia School District Headquarters: An elegant, modern structure from the outside, and with a host of dedicated professionals inside. Yet its hands
the Gov. Corbett years. are tied with respect to the charter school phenomenon in our city: Grossly inadequate state and nationwide funding, antiquated statutes governing the charter
school that now educate one third of city students, and a state legislature controlled by conservative that don’t see education of our children as a moral issue.
More injurious to our city schools
was the move by Corbett, abetted by most charters promote the fact that about 4 percent of the total staff (vs 2 are still some of the lowest in the

Winnie Harris Day Celebrated at Clark Park

O
n Sunday, February 2, family
and friends of the late Win-
nie Harris gathered at her
memorial tree in Clark Park to uplift
each other and remember the former
director of UC Green on the second
anniversary of her death.
“We just miss you. We truly miss
you!” Elizabeth Waring shared as she
looked up to the sky.
Kiasha Huling, Director of UC
Green, expressed the value of Win-
nie’s legacy as a leader in civic engage-
ment. “Winnie’s level of engagement
and commitment to community set
an example for young professionals
like myself. She elevated our neigh-
borhoods and did so with grace and
persistence.”
“Winnie was an artist...she had an
eye for detail, every detail,” Angela
Coughlin shared. Winnie is remem-
bered as a kind and joyful leader in
community volunteer greening. A
fabulous host to the thousands of vol-
unteers who’ve planted trees through
UC Green, Winnie took on many
hats at the organization included
operational management and youth
employment with precision and great
vision.
Not only did Winnie contribute
to the “greening” of Southwest and
West Philadelphia, but she also made
marvelous contributions to her home
neighborhood through her work with
the Holly Street Community Garden.
She always found that the best way of
getting things done well and on time
was through a pleasant smile and
words of encouragement.
“Winnie was always careful to meet
deadlines when planning and carrying
out special tree planting and tend-
ing project,” added Huling, reflecting
on the intricacy of coordinating city

departments, arborists, and groups of
volunteers from different parts of the
community.
Ted Behr, a community volunteer,
recalled the historic planting of over
150 trees along the sidewalks sur-
rounding the Kingsessing Recreation
Center by Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society and UD Green in the Spring
of 2011. A year later, a small project
was organized by Winnie to replace
any that didn’t make it after the first
planting. They found only two! What a
tribute to the care and professionalism
of Winnie and her fellow planters in
the original project!”

MUSSEL HATCHERY
CONTINUES FROM PAGE 4
The positive effects of the project
will be two-fold. Not only will the new
mussels grow and thrive in our local
streams and rivers, but the shellfish
themselves also act as a natural water
filter. Each adult mussel can filter up to
10 gallons of water per day. According
to Danielle Kreeger, senior science di-
rector at PDE, “Freshwater mussels are
some of the most undervalued aquatic
animals in the world… forming beds
that filter millions of gallons of water
per acre every day.”
The construction of the hatchery at
Bartram’s Garden will take place over
6-8 years and will be funded by a
series of PENNVEST grants amount-
ing to an estimated $7.9 million.
An addition $1 – 2 million will be
expended over another 2-3 years to

place the program on a sound finan-
cial footing, enabling repayment of
the initial investment.
The process which led up to this
week’s happy announcement began in
1996 when Delaware River conserva-
tion plans were included in the U.S.
National Estuary Program (an “estu-
ary” is the body of water created when
a river meets the tidal water of an
ocean.) The objective was the long-
term improvement of the Delaware
and the other rivers and streams which
feed into it.
Said Delaware Department of Natu-
ral Resources Secretary Shawn M.
Garvin. “By collaborating with state
and federal agencies, municipali-
ties, businesses, community groups,
non-profits, and tri-state residents ...
we are unified in working toward a
vibrant and fiercely-protected future
for our beautiful, fragile, and vitally
important Delaware Estuary and its
precious resources.”
EPA Region 2 Administrator
Pete Lopez added, “EPA recognizes
and supports the goal of carefully
managing our resources for further
enhancement of ecological health
and recreational offerings, as well as
strengthened economic opportunities
within the Estuary”.
The half-million baby mussels
grown at Bartram’s will be a native
species well adapted to our waters.
When mature enough they will
be relocated to streams and rivers
where they can help improve water
quality the most. EPA Region 3 Re-
gional Administrator Cosmo Servi-
dio noted, “EPA was pleased to work
with PENNVEST to provide funding
for the mussel hatchery that will
serve as a signature accomplishment
in our efforts.”

tachment to Mt Moriah stems from the
fact that her husband was buried there
in 1993.
“She was driven by a strong faith,
love of her family and commitment to
the community,” reflected Jarred. “The
work of her life was to achieve the
best for all people.” That was certainly
reflected in her greatest achievement,
bringing Mt. Moriah cemetery back
to life. “Gathered there are all kinds
of people, whose families are now
living all over the country… all over
the world in fact. Her aim was to give
dignity to the final resting place of
their loved ones.
Sam Ricks, dedicated local historian
and a founder and longtime board
member of the Friends added his
tribute to Ms. Rhone, “Paulette pro-
vided a sense of vision to our efforts at
restoring the cemetery. Her approach
was always finding a way forward,
despite the desperate condition of the
grounds.”

cated legal and regulatory environ-

she organized teams of energetic

during the winter months. “In the
event that the season goes on and resi-
dents receive a shut-off notice, they
can apply for a Crisis grant, which will
pay additional money on top of the
utility bill.
”If residents need help with their
water bill, the TAP budgeting program
run by the Philadelphia Water Depart-
ment provides a budget to customers,”
added Nann. “The budget is based on
the family income and gives them a
specific amount to pay on their water
bill each month. If they are able to
maintain the payments, they will be
able to keep their services; otherwise,
they will lose access to these services.”
PGW’s CRP is another assistance
program that can help low-income
customers better afford their gas
bills and maintain their gas service.
“Anyone can apply for the programs,
although there are some guidelines.
If you feel that you fall within the
income guidelines, then you should go
on and apply for it. The only thing they
can tell you is no! You’re not eligible.”

Open Community Meeting:
New Demographic Study of Southwest
By Gene Burke
A MARCH 7
new, incredibly detailed demo-
graphic survey of our area, the
“2019 Southwest Philadelphia
Community Assessment Study,” will
be presented at The Common Place on
Saturday, March 9, 2019, beginning at
9:00 a.m. The gathering will replace
the regular CityLights meeting usually
held at this time and place.
The Common Place is located at
the corner of 58th Street and Chester
Avenue with the entrance through the
parking lot off 58th Street.
The study had been put together
by Interface Studio, the Philadelphia-
based urban planning and design firm
which had recently completed the
Lower Eastwick Public Lands Strategy.
The purpose of the study was to
help give Southwest stakeholders a
current snapshot of a key Southwest
Philly area – specifically Kingsessing
and some bordering neighborhoods.
Interface’s research identified 8 pri-
mary focus areas: nutrition, educa-
tion, early childhood care, crime,
housing, employment, health, and
business support.
According to this study, Kingsess-

Zoning 101: What is a Registered Community Organization (RCO)?
I
n 2007, voters approved a refer-
endum to create a Zoning Code
Commission (ZCC), charged with
reviewing and streamlining the city’s
zoning regulations. During the reform
process that followed, the ZCC elected
to create a system of Registered Com-
munity Organizations (RCOs). Creation
of these community-based groups was
designed to regularize the way develop-
ers would have to meet with neighbor-
hood groups before going to the zoning
board. The system required developers
to notify groups that would be affected
by certain building projects, and to hold

TheVillage to Begin New Family Empowerment Center
T
heVillage, a private, non-profit
family service organization in
Southwest , was chosen by the
Philadelphia Department of Human
Services as one of two citywide orga-
nizations that will operate a Family
Empowerment Center. The Family
Empowerment Centers represent a
new pilot program focused on pro-
moting family stability, providing sup-
port for children and parents within
the home, and ultimately preventing
crisis or other traumas that adversely
affect children.
TheVillage, formerly Presbyterian
Children’s Village, has been serving
Southwest families since 1877 and
currently provides Foster Care, Adop-
tion and Permanency, and Outpatient
Behavioral Health Clinic programs
out of the Preheim Center at 6517
Chester Avenue.
The new $1.5 million program, a part
of the City of Philadelphia’s ongoing
expansion of prevention-focused pro-
grams under its commitment to improve
outcomes for children, will serve families
who face struggles across the city on a
voluntary basis with a combination of
educational programming and in-home
services. The program will operate on a
two-tiered model based on the needs of
the families who participate.
TheVillage currently runs a smaller
Family Empowerment Services pro-
gram, out of which the new program
will expand, which together with
several other programs such as Out of
School Time and In Home Protective
Services represents the organization’s
three-decade commitment to preven-
tion services in the community. The
February 22, 2018
new Center expands theVillage’s long
history of service to the Southwest
community and families struggling
with trauma caused by addiction,
mental health issues, abuse, economic
pressures, racism, and other issues.
TheVillage is currently hiring program
staff and reconfiguring the Preheim
Center to meet a goal of opening the
new Family Empowerment Center in
the spring of 2019.

Hundreds Enjoy Groundhog Day
at Heinz Refuge February 2
S
ome 500 local and nearby resi-
dents turned out February 2 at
the John Heinz National Wild-
life Refuge to discover whether the
weather would turn spring-like or if
we’d suffer another six weeks of winter.
The decision making Groundhog in
our area was the famous “Tinicum

Inside The Cusano Center, children participated in
learning exercises on the need to protect our water
supply. Youth learned about how storm water that
is not absorbed can pollute the rivers from which
we get our drinking water.
On February 2, youngsters of all ages crowded expectantly around the hole of makebelieve groundhog,

and popped right back down to make
preparation for more cold days! His
special hole is next to the entrance to
the newly modernized and improved
Cusano Environmental Educational
Center at Heinz.

Friends of Heinz Refuge celebrated the
midpoint in the Winter Solstice with
activities for all ages including wildlife
walks, educational tables, arts, and
crafts!
Partners this year were the Phila-
delphia Zoo, The Franklin Institute,
and L.L. Bean. The festival con-
cluded with a singing processional
to the groundhog burrow. Everyone
booed when our mascot, Tinicum
Tim, predicted six more weeks
of winter. This event was entirely
funded by FOHR.
The Heinz leadership team ex-
pressed its thanks for the support it
receives for FOHR and the many vol-
unteers that made the day possible.

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS

Philadelphia’s
Commercial
Waste Requirements
R
ecycling is the law in Philadelphia, and to
better understand how much waste and of
what types our communities are producing,
businesses are required to file an annual Commer-
cial Waste Report.
The Commercial Waste Report will help busi-
nesses and organizations better understand their
waste generation, identifying opportunities to reduce
and divert waste. Keep recycling. Ensure you’re in
compliance in five easy steps.
1. Fill Out the Official Commercial Waste Re-
port Online. Complete your business information
profile at commercialwaste.phila.gov, then fill out
your Commercial Waste Report. It must be submit-
ted annually by December 31.
2. Post Your Form Publicly. Print and post
your Waste Report in a prominent location. After
submitting your report, just click “View and Print
Commercial Waste Report Certificate” or print the
certificate attached to your confirmation email.
3. Distribute Copies to Your Employees. Hand
out copies of your completed Waste Report to em-
ployees so they are aware of the building’s recycling
and waste management practices and requirements.
4. Make Sure Recycling is Easy and Bins are
Abundant. Providing adequate recycling containers
for employees and patrons is a crucial component
of a successful recycling program. A recycling con-
tainer should be paired with each trash can.
5. Install Signage. Proper signage, including pic-
tures of the recyclables that are designated, is neces-
sary for educating employees and patrons on where
and how to recycle. Links to DIY and ready-to-use
signs identifying the recycling Do’s and Don’ts can
be found in the Commercial Waste Report Guide.
