Philadelphia: Insult to injury
http://www.southphillyreview.com
Upon returning home from a police station to report a
violent home invasion, a 27-year-old discovered the perpetrators had locked him
out when they left the premises.
As the males were hauling out items they ransacked from the
dwelling on the 600 block of Clifton Street, just off South Street, the victim
saw an opportunity to run to the South Street Mini Station at Ninth and South,
Detective Nancy Morley of South Detectives said.
At about 3 a.m. Friday, the victim was asleep when he heard
a bang on his front door and thought it was his roommate who locked himself
out. When the victim opened the door, three males forced their way inside, one
armed with a black semiautomatic handgun, Morley said. The offenders demanded
money and began robbing the place, taking two laptops; a 32-inch LCD TV; an
Xbox 360; a cell phone; and a safe with unknown contents. Investigators did not
have a value for the stolen items.
To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

DRPA Facilitates Green Ports Initiative with Local Port Operators
May 5, 2008 South Jersey Port, Beckett Street Terminal
With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, the Delaware River Port Authority today took a major step toward making the ports in South Jersey and Philadelphia more environmentally friendly. The agreement solidified a partnership among DRPA and port agencies South Jersey Port Corporation (SJPC) and the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority (PRPA) to launch a "Green Ports" initiative.
DRPA Vice Chairman Jeffrey L. Nash announces the partnership among DRPA, SJPC and PRPA to develop a Green Ports Initiative.Behind him pictured Left to Right : DRPA CEO John J. Matheussen, SJPC Executive Director Joseph Balzano, PRPA Executive Director Jamie McDermott, DRPA Chairman Designee and PRPA Chairman John Estey and City of Camden Mayor Gwendolyn Faison.
The "Green Ports" initiative will assist all three agencies in creating a cooperative approach to develop environmental programs and projects aimed at reducing or neutralizing the impact of port operations upon the environment and the surrounding community.
"All three agencies share the same waterway and as a result share the responsibility of maintaining a clean environment," said DRPA Chairman Designee John Estey. "By banding together, we can leverage our capabilities to improve the environment in which we live and work.

"We live in a world where pollution and its effect on our livelihood has become a pressing concern, said DRPA Vice Chairman Jeff Nash. "As leaders in the port community, we feel that we should do our part to find solutions to decrease the impact of port operations on the surrounding community"
Over the next few months, the organizations will work together to select a consultant, who will review operations at DRPA, SJPC and PRPA facilities in order to recommend short term and long term alternatives for making port operations more environmentally friendly. A few examples of greening solutions that may be explored include energy/water conservation, electric or alterntive fuel vehicles and equipment, renewable sources of energy (solar and wind installations), new technologies and innovations in logistics processes (traffic management controls, congestion mitigation) and green building/facilities.
"DRPA has a long-standing commitment to clean air, clean water and sustainable development, said DRPA Chief Executive Officer John J. Matheussen. "Partnering with PRPA and SJPC for the Green Ports initiative demonstratres our effort to improve our impact on the environment."
DRPA, SJPC and PRPA join other port operators such as Port Authority of NY/NJ and the Port of Long Beach in California in taking steps to "green" America's ports The Delaware River Port Authority is a regional transportation and development agency.

Philadelphia Crime: Held for trial in South Street rape
http://www.southphillyreview.com
A man accused of raping a woman at knifepoint and attempting to do the same to her 23-year-old friend was extradited to Philly from New York April 23. At 34-year-old David Rosario's preliminary hearing Tuesday, he was held for trial on charges of rape, attempted rape, unlawful restraint, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person for the Feb. 24 incident on the 200 block of South Street.
After being allegedly raped by the Queens, N.Y., man at about 10:30 a.m., a 30-year-old escaped out her third-floor bedroom window. According to Special Victims Unit Lt. Tom McDevitt, the woman is out of the hospital and undergoing physical rehabilitation for injuries from the fall. "She's trying to put her life back together. She's recovering nicely, but she has a lot of rehabilitation to go through," McDevitt told the Review.
The women allegedly met Rosario at North, 222 South St., and invited him and a few others to their dwelling at about 2:30 a.m. When asked to leave hours later, Rosario allegedly refused. That morning, he allegedly raped the 30-year-old. After leaving the room for a moment, at which time the women locked the door, Rosario allegedly broke back in and saw the woman jump from the window.
Rosario turned himself in to New York police March 2.

Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey announced a major shake-up yesterday of the department's command -- doubling the number of deputy commissioners to eight -- that he said would improve accountability and drive down the crime rate.
Less than four months into the job, Ramsey reconfigured the 6,600-member department into two main operating groups that will be headed by current deputy commissioners. The bifurcated organizational structure is similar to the way he configured the Washington police force, where he was chief for nine years before stepping down a year ago.

Retrial Underway in 1985 Murder of Philadelphia Police Officer
Posted April 30, 2008 http://www.kyw1060.com
A Philadelphia jury is now hearing the retrial case of a man accused of murdering a city police officer in 1985.
Defendant Wilfredo Santiago had been convicted previously, but the
conviction was thrown out and the case has been tied up in the courts
until now.
Prosecutor Carlos Vega told the jury in this latest trial that the evidence will show that Santiago killed officer Thomas Trench by shooting him twice at close range as the officer sat in his marked patrol car near 17th and Spring Garden Streets.
Vega contends that Santiago was out to settle a score with another police officer who had been driving the same patrol car -- number 912 -- just hours earlier, and that Santiago rode up on a bike and shot Trench in the face.

Costly tuneup, face lift start on Walt Whitman Bridge
www.courierpostonline.com
The biggest chunk -- at least $120 million -- will pay to redeck the bridge. Construction is expected to begin in 2010. Other projects include partial de-leading and repainting ($45 million), dehumidifying the anchorages ($6 million) and decorative lighting ($12 million).
Overall, the bistate authority expects to spend in excess of $1 billion on capital projects within the next five years.
The problem is money. The Delaware River Port Authority spends more than half of the estimated $195 million it will collect in bridge tolls this year paying down $1.2 billion in debt. PATCO's deficit operation is a further drain on the transportation agency.

Oyster Project Honored for Work in Delaware Bay
Media Release April 17th
PHILADELPHIA — The Delaware Bay Oyster Restoration Project was
honored with the 2008 Government Award at the 26th Annual Recognition Dinner
hosted last evening in Philadelphia by the Water Resources Association of the Delaware River Basin. Lieutenant Colonel Gwen E. Baker of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers presented the award to Dr. Eric
Powell, director
of
Rutgers University’s Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory in Port
Norris, New Jersey. Powell accepted the
award on behalf of the 10-member Delaware Bay Oyster Restoration Task Force, of
which the USACE is also a member.
Since 2004, the
Delaware Bay Oyster Restoration Project has contributed approximately $40 for
every $1 invested, or roughly $168M, to the state economies of both Delaware
and New Jersey. According to estimates,
that ratio may reach as high $50:$1 once harvests take place for the first time
this year.
This success comes as
a result of the task force’s large-scale reef enhancement program in Delaware
Bay, which has increased oyster recruitment, or survival among juvenile
oysters, by two fold during that same timeframe. The bi-state coalition has done this by
depositing more than 1.4 million bushels of oyster and clam shells onto
historic reefs, which provide oyster larvae with a clean, hard place on which
they can attach, grow, and reach their full potential.
“This program is
vitally important not only for the health of our state economies, but also for
the health of Delaware Bay and the many species that depend on it,” said
Powell. “Were it not for shell-planting
activities, we might very well have lost a regional fishery to disease, habitat
loss, and other factors that repeatedly decimated the population both in the
1950s and the 1990s.”
Members of the
Delaware Bay Oyster Restoration Task Force include: the Cumberland County
Empowerment Zone, Delaware & New Jersey Shellfish Industry, Delaware
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Delaware River and
Bay Authority, Delaware River Basin Commission, Delaware State University’s College of
Agriculture and Related Sciences, the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection, Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Rutgers University’s Haskin
Shellfish Research Laboratory, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Philadelphia District.
For more information,
please visit www.DelawareEstuary.org, the online home of the Partnership for
the Delaware Estuary. And to see how you
can get involved in oyster restoration off New Jersey’s southern coast, please
