Celebrating the Life of Randall L. Dalton A


Celebration of the Life of Randall L. Dal- ton will be held Satur-


day, April 9, 2016, at 4 p.m., at the Germantown Friends Meeting, 44 W. Coulter Street in Germantown. Most of it will be in the style of a Quaker meet- ing. Anyone who desires may offer reminiscence or thanksgiving regarding Randy, while the silent wit- ness of others is an equally valued element of gather- ing.


Randall Dalton was a


resident of Mount Airy, but for more than 40 years was intensely involved in the Community Education Cen- ter at 3500 Lancaster Ave., and his ties to Powelton remained very strong. His Blue Grotto, an installation of hundreds of blue lamps constructed from found objects, remains on view at the CEC. He had a hand in the creation of the mural “Wow” by his godson, Emil Baumann, at the corner of 36th and Lancaster. At the CEC, he organized


the planting of two hollies in memory of his friend Holly Maddux. Years later, when Ira Einhorn was ar- rested in Europe in con- nection with her murder, Randy staged a media event by caging and chain- ing the male (non-fruiting) holly at the CEC, and it was chopped down when Ein- horn was convicted. He was a tireless advocate of the power of the arts to make Philadelphia better, and for years passed out blue lapel buttons for peo-

olitical updates on the State & Local Level


The UC Review and Phila- delphia Free Press compile political news that affects voters each week on the city and state level to keep readers more abreast of local politics. If there’s an issue you would like included in this column, please email it to newsdesk@press- review.net by the Monday, noontime deadline!


Councilman Kenyatta Johnson (2nd


District) in-


troduced Bill No. 160013, which prohibits the retail sale of animals sourced from puppy and kitten mills, on January 21st. City Council’s Committee on Licenses & Inspections heard testimony and considered the bill on April 4th. Councilman John- son has previously spon- sored legislation prohibiting pet owners from leaving their pets outside in extreme temperatures for extended periods of time.


State Rep. James Roe-


buck, D-Phila., welcomed Wednesday’s signing of a “reverse transfer” agree- ment between Pennsylva- nia’s 14 community colleges and the 14 State System universities. The initiative will allow students who have earned at least 60 total credits to apply for an as- sociate’s degree from the community college where they started.


"In many cases, receiving an associate›s degree could immediately increase the student’s earning potential, even as he or she continues working toward a bach- elor’s degree or another cer- tification or credential at a State System university. This reverse transfer agreement could be especially helpful for students called to mili-


tary service, for example,» said Roebuck, Democratic chairman of the House Edu- cation Committee. Under the agreement, students who began their postsecondary education at any community college in Pennsylvania and earned a minimum of 45 credits be- fore transferring to any State System university can par- ticipate in the new program. Eligible credits may include those earned through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Credit by Exam and the military. A student must have


enrolled at a State System university within five years of leaving the community college and have earned at least 15 additional credits at a State System university to be considered for the program. Their State System credits will be transferred back to the community college and applied to the requirements for the associ- ate’s degree.


The State System univer- sities will identify eligible students once they complete the 60 total credits and invite them to participate in the reverse transfer pro- gram. If interested, the eli- gible students will fill out a release form and their State System university transcript will be sent to the commu- nity college for review and evaluation. If approved, the commu- nity college will award the degree. Students won›t be charged either a graduation or transcript fee by either institution involved. The first degrees could be


awarded through the pro- gram as early as this sum- mer. Many students likely already are eligible, accord-


ing to the colleges. Others could be once the current semester ends in May. State Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Phila., will host the 2016 190th Legislative District Spring Fling from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 23 at the Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse, 3500 Reser- voir Drive, East Fairmount Park, near 33rd and Oxford streets. The event will focus on healthy living for all ages.


There will be healthy food choices available and infor- mation on exercise oppor- tunities for young and old. Brown’s staff will also have information on the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program. Attendees will be able to test ride bicycles as part of the city›s Indego bike share program. Children also will be able to participate in arts and crafts, a silly hat parade and face painting.


Smith Playhouse also of- fers a safe, indoor play loca- tion for children 10 years old or younger. The Phila- delphia Fire Department has been invited to participate, as well as the state police motorcycle unit, local health agencies and medical pro- viders.


"I want to use this event as a way to encourage chil- dren to get outside and be active,» Brown said. «It is a good way to start par- ticipating in more outdoor activities, something most of us should be doing. We all need to look for more ways to take care of our bodies and our health.» The event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required. To reserve your space or for more informa- tion regarding the event, contact Brown’s constituent service office at 215-879- 6615. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own folding chairs, Brown added.
