[UC] 3-legged kitty STILL on the streets

2009-10-22 Thread Linda Lee
Folks, I just found out last night that this kitty is still on the  
loose (see below).  It was never held inside.  SO, we are still  
looking for a
3-legged cat AND a mostly grey 5-month old kitten.  Either could be  
anywhere between, say, 49th  43rd, Baltimore and Spruce.


If you find either, please take it inside or put in cat carrier,  
with food (I think that will be easy enough to do with these two)


   CONTACT:

3-legged cat:  call me at 215-222-1580 (leave detailed message if no  
answer)


Grey kitten: call Alexia at 503-9449-9424  (or me, if for any reason  
you can't get through to Alexia)



Regarding the 3-legged cat:

I encountered the kitty at approximately 9pm on Monday night at  
47th  Hazel, and took him to my home at 47th  Osage.  As I said,  
however, I did not confine the cat, so a third person could have  
seen him either before or after me on Monday.  What I can confirm,  
however, was that the cat was in the box I put out for him Tuesday  
morning and some of Tuesday afternoon.  You can be sure I will  
still be looking for him.  My roommates and neighbors are keeping  
their eyes peeled as well.

[UC] Let's free ourselves of SHCA

2009-10-22 Thread Glenn moyer
Dear neighbors,

Many people go to FOCP/SHCA elections terrified, but hopeful that if they give 
them money things might change!  (Remember the dog park brought FOCP some 80 
new frightened members.)  But decade after decade, we see that things never 
change in these gangs.  These, so called community leaders, serve themselves 
and are constantly ready to betray their neighbors and the community as a whole.

It's not the money that is important; Penn and the corporations can always buy 
them off with more money than membership dues.  The problem is that by joining 
their group in terror, neighbors are giving them the membership numbers used 
for astroturfing!  Joining these insular gangs only increases the damage to the 
community.


I first saw this danger in 2000.  Senator Williams accompanied the Woodland Ave 
Reunion to a mandatory meeting with the city.  FOCP had the city make this 
mandatory threat to all permit holders in Clark Park.  Because of the new, pay 
to play, soccer league; FOCP was trying to have all other permits prohibited so 
that all other events would be banned from the park.  FOCP had just doubled 
their membership numbers, because little kids must be FOCP members to play 
soccer in Clark Park.  

In front of everyone, the little FOCP lawyer stated that FOCP was a 
democratically elected community group with 300 members.  In fact, the 300 
people had given FOCP money, but had no idea that their leaders were trying to 
ban all other groups from the park!

Neighbors should show up to these dog and pony shows to resist the treachery, 
but never add numbers to these gangs!


SHCA is just as bad as FOCP!  Their leaders are always the same people.  The 
actual boards of these groups are normally irrelevant, as are the general 
members of these associations.  If you have given them money this year, demand 
that your name be removed from their roles!  Do not let their leaders appeal to 
fear!

Once we force these groups to disband by refusing to join, the people of West 
Philly can regroup if anything the gangs did in the past was worthwhile.  The 
best and brightest of West Philly stay away from volunteering with these 
groups!  Never believe their fear mongering, that people won't join in actual 
efforts to serve the community.  People stay away from these dishonest gangs, 
not their neighbors or community.

I never had trouble with volunteers for Clark park festivals back when I showed 
up for FOCP work days.  The turnout of supporters of the People's flea market 
showed the same resilience of neighbors.

Let's stop the FOCP/SHCA, and then we can live peacefully with our neighbors in 
this great diverse community!  UCD/Penn can't destroy our community without the 
collaboration/betrayal of these gangs!!!

Power to the people of West Philly,
Glenn

[UC] West Philly quote of the year, Mr. Siano

2009-10-22 Thread Glenn moyer
Neighbors,

I thought one of my bits of wisdom would get recognized as the West Philly 
quote of the year.  But I'm going to nominate, Brian Siano's statement, for 
this honor.  This is better than don't taze me bro.

As Mr. West was bloviating last night, that only he has the expertise to hand 
pick anonymous SHCA presidents as his survey subjects and blah, blah, blah; Mr. 
Siano spoke these epiphanous words:

Tony, cut the crap.

As you can see, Mr. Siano deserves the UCD quote of the year award for 2009!

Laughing and thinking positively,
Glenn

Thanks so much for circulating your timely neighborhood updates, Patty  
Mark!


It's good that some neighbors put some effort into busting these 
paranoid internet fantasies for us. UC-list in particular has become 
notorious for paranoid internet fantasies for many years, because it 
relies solely on the good judgement of its readers and rejects, by 
definition, the word of trained  practiced information-gatherers. An 
unmoderated listserve provides no human filter between the reader and 
the trash. That's admirable in one sense -- but it imposes extra moral 
demands on readers.


Some can discern the difference at a glance; others take longer. It's 
not a race, so take your time!
