Former US Secretary of Defense

Robert M. Gates received the

National Constitution Center’s

2011 Liberty Medal last night in

honor of his five decades of dis-

tinguished service. In what was a

moving tribute to Dr. Gates’ role

as the “Soldiers’ Secretary,” Iraq

War veteran Anthony Odierno,

representing Wounded Warrior

Project, and SFC Dana Graham,

of the Pennsylvania Army Na-

tional Guard, representing the

USO of Pennsylvania and South-

ern NJ (Liberty USO), joined

Center President and CEO

David Eisner to present the pres-

tigious medal to Dr. Gates. The

public ceremony took place last

evening.

Gates, Receiving Liberty Medal, Slams

Partisan ExtremismIn measured but forthright words,

Gates spoke as he accepted the

award of disturbing developments

in American political life.

ABC News Correspondent Bob

Woodruff hosted the live event,

which also featured presentations

by Pennsylvania Gov. Thomas W.

Corbett and actress and star of

Army Wives Kim Delaney. Action

News Anchorman Jim Gardner

hosted the live broadcast of the

ceremony on WPVI-TV/6abc.

Appearing in video tributes

throughout the ceremony were

President George H.W. Bush,

under whom Gates served as Di-

rector of the CIA; President Bill

Clinton, Chair of the National

Constitution Center Board of

Trustees; President George W.

Bush, who originally appointed

Gates to the post of Secretary of

Defense in 2006; Secretary of

State Hillary Clinton, with whom

Gates worked closely during his

final term as Secretary of Defense

under President Obama; former

Supreme Court Justice Sandra

Day O’Connor, who Gates re-

cently succeeded as chancellor of

the College of William and Mary;

and Philadelphia Mayor Michael

A. Nutter.

In his five-decade career in public

service, Dr. Gates has served eight

presidents – in uniform, as the di-

rector of the CIA and as the civil-

ian head of America’s armed

forces. From the era of the Cold

War to the complex challenges of

the 21st century, he helped trans-

form U.S. intelligence and mili-

tary operations to meet emerging

realities, and advocated for the

safety and empowerment of

American servicemen and women.

Having served both President

George W. Bush and President

Barack Obama, Dr. Gates is the

only Secretary of Defense in US

history to serve presidents of dif-

ferent parties. He retired from the

post on Jun. 30, 2011.

National Constitution Center Pres-

ident and CEO David Eisner said

that this year’s award recognizes

an individual who truly embodies

the values of our Constitution:

“Dr. Robert Gates is a leader who

would make our Founding Fathers

proud. He exemplifies the spirit of

bipartisanship and cooperation

that gave life to our democracy –

a spirit that is increasingly rare

today.”

Having served under seven Presi-

dents from both parties, and given

decades of his life to public serv-

ice, Dr. Gates believes we are now

in “uncharted territory when it

comes to the dysfunction in our

political system.” Dr. Gates out-

lined three developments in his

acceptance speech that he believes

have put us in this predicament.

Dr. Gates believes we need to

overhaul the process of setting

electoral districts to ensure that

candidates for Congress are forced

to appeal to the moderates in their

party and even members of the

other parties, like candidates for

president in a general election.

Under current rules, Gates believes

the Party primaries force politi-

cians to cater only to the “hard-

core ideological elements of their

base.”

Similarly, when one party wins a

“wave election,” the party in

power tends to rule by force, mak-

ing it more likely that the minority

will seek retribution (or at least

overturn policies and agendas)

when the pendulum swings back.

Gates called for more humility in

victory, and a search for “broadly

supported policies” to address the

problems we face as a nation.

Gates cited the Cold War in the

mid-20th century as the best histor-

ical example of a consistent politi-

cal strategy implemented across

multiple presidencies and con-

gresses.

“Those who think they alone have

the right answers, who demonize

those who think differently, and

who refuse to listen and take other

points of view into account —

these leaders are a danger to the

American people and to our fu-

ture,” commented Dr. Gates.

While the reporting and distribu-

tion of news has become more

democratic over time, according to

Gates it has given rise to extreme

and vitriolic points of view that are

unfiltered and easily disseminated

to a wide audience. He suggests

that the democratization of news

has actually “dumbed down” the

national political dialogue over the

past two decades.

Dr. Gates said these and other po-

larizing factors have crowded out

the moderate center in politics,

which he characterized as the

foundation of our political system.

“Just at the time this country needs

more continuity, more bipartisan-

ship, and more compromise,” he

said, “all the trends are pointing in

the opposite direction.”

Casey Blasts

China Currency

ManipulationA new report shows the US trade

deficit with China cost 106,970

Pennsylvania jobs between 2001

and 2010 and a total of nearly 2.8

million jobs in the United States.

The report released by the Eco-

nomic Policy Institute (EPI) and

the Alliance for American Manu-

facturing highlights the need to

take action against China’s unfair

trade practices, especially manipu-

lation of its currency.

As a result, US Sen. Bob Casey

(D-Pa.), Chairman of the Joint

Economic Committee said, “As I

have talked with business owners

and workers throughout Pennsyl-

vania, I have heard repeated stories

of how China’s policies have cre-

ated an uneven playing field. This

report gives another example of

just how unfair trade with China

has had on Pennsylvania and the

United States. One basic step that

should be taken immediately is to

pass legislation to force action

against China’s currency manipu-

lation.”

Casey said the US Senate will

soon take up currency manipula-

tion legislation that should be

quickly passed, signed into law

and implemented.

According to the EPI report: “Of

the nearly 2.8 million jobs lost or

displaced, 1.9 million of them

were in manufacturing. These

jobs represent nearly half of all

U.S. manufacturing jobs lost be-

tween 2001 and 2010.” The report

also states that foreign competi-

tion has led to lower wages for

workers in US manufacturing.

Senator Casey has been a vocal

opponent of Chinese currency ma-

nipulation. He has repeatedly

called on the Obama Administra-

tion to more aggressively confront

China and he is pushing legisla-

tion that would make it harder for

the Administration to avoid taking

action against China.

Sen. Farnese Promotes Port GrowthState Sen. Larry Farnese (D-S.

Phila.) joined port and labor leader

as Gov. Tom Corbett released $15

million to continue the Delaware

River dredging project. The new

funds, in addition to Farnese’s

leadership in creating the South-

port Marine Terminal, could poten-

tially bring thousands of new jobs

to Philadelphia.

“A deeper Delaware River will not

only bring larger ships to Philadel-

phia, but it will create jobs,” said

the Senator. “And a deeper

Delaware River is one of the last

major hurdles to making the

Southport Marine Terminal a real-

ity. Together, these projects will

strengthen our economy and put

Philadelphia on the map as a re-

gional and global competitor for

marine cargo.”

The newly released money will be

used to deepen an additional five

miles of the Delaware River’s

main shipping channel to accom-

modate larger ships, many of

which will be destined for the new

Southport Marine Terminal. South-

port Marine Terminal Last year,

the Pennsylvania Senate unani-

mously passed HB 666 creating

the Southport Marine Terminal.

The legislation’s prime sponsor

was State Rep. Bill Keller (D-S.

Phila.) and Farnese worked with

Mayor Michael A. Nutter has pro-

posed legislation to extend and ex-

pand the City of Philadelphia’s

curfew for minors as part of a co-

ordinated response to “flash mobs”

and teen violence, including more

enforcement and sustainable, posi-

tive opportunities for young peo-

ple.

“Legislation has been introduced

by Councilwoman Blondell

Reynolds Brown to tackle this

issue citywide because we know

the strategy we have implemented

in Center City and University City

is effective,” said the Mayor Nut-

ter. “I thank Councilwoman

Reynolds Brown for her leadership

on this issue and her willingness to

sponsor this important bill on be-

half of Philadelphia’s families.”

With the introduction of the pro-

posed curfew bill, the Administra-

tion seeks to provide the

Philadelphia Police with an impor-

tant tool to prevent youth violence.

The bill lowers the current curfew

time and simplifies the current cur-

few scheme by imposing standard

times for the school year and ex-

tending the curfew by one hour

during the summer months. In the

proposed bill, the curfew will be

the same time seven days a week

from September to June. Likewise,

for seven days a week in the sum-

mer the curfew will be the same -

just one hour later than the school

year curfew.

The current bill takes differences

between age groups into considera-

tion by allowing for older teens to

stay out longer than younger teens.

Those aged 13 and younger need

to be home by 8:00 p.m. during the

school year and 9:00 p.m. during

the summer. Teens aged 14-15

need to be home by 9:00 p.m. dur-

ing the school year and 10:00 p.m.

during the summer. Older teens

aged 16-17 need to be home at

10:00 p.m. during the school year

and 11:00 p.m. in the summer.

“We began the process this sum-

mer by addressing the problem of

flash-mobs in targeted areas by

placing emphasis on geographic

locations where the violence was

occurring, but we heard loud and

clear from the public that this ap-

proach needed to be applied across

the city, and that’s what we’re

doing,” said Deputy Mayor for

Public Safety Everett Gillison.

“The City will continue to offer

expanded hours at selected recre-

ation centers on Friday and Satur-

day nights, and we’re working

with the Youth Commission to

plan more activities and program-

ming for next summer, but we

wanted to do introduce this bill

now because we know that the leg-

islative process takes time. In the

interim, the Mayor’s orders will be

extended and we will continue the

targeted-area approach until this

legislation becomes law with the

help of City Council.”

“Cutting crime amongst minors is

going take the involvement of the

government, parents and faith-

based organizations. Can we legis-

late good parenting? Probably not,

but when government can step in,

we should step in and consider

preventive measures to help par-

ents realize that they have an enor-

mous responsibility. There is no

silver bullet to resolve this compli-

cated matter impacting children

and youth,” said Reynolds Brown.

The bill also increases the penal-

ties for parents whose children are

in violation of the curfew and im-

poses parental liability for the

criminal acts committed by chil-

dren. Minors who are caught

breaking curfew will be sent home,

brought home or transported to a

police station where their parents

will be contacted and issued a fine

of $75 within 10 days. The penal-

ties for violation of the curfew will

not exceed $500.

If parents do not get their child

within a reasonable time, the PPD

will contact the Dept. of Human

Services to initiate an investiga-

tion. If a child is found liable or

guilty by a court for injury, theft or


Keller to successfully deliver the

bill to the Governor’s desk. When

completed, the Southport Marine

Terminal will be a tremendous eco-

nomic boost to the region in addi-

tion to creating thousands of jobs

for Philadelphia’s longshoremen,

truck drivers, crane operators and

support professionals. Farnese’s

legislation, which was officially

approved by the Governor this

year, transferred 180 acres of Navy

Yard land from the City to the

State for the project.

Mayor Seeks Winter Curfew For Youth


other criminal acts, the parents will

be liable to the person who suf-

fered the injury or loss of property.

“To be clear: this is not a revenue

bill; we don’t want to fine people.

We want to ensure that parents are

taking responsibility for their chil-

dren, that’s the key,” added Mayor

Nutter. “I have been encouraged

by the public response over the last

few weeks; Philadelphia’s parents

have really stepped up and we

want to build on that progress.

This is not just about policing, this

is about a comprehensive commu-

nity approach and this bill is one

piece of that puzzle.”

Councilman Jones To Testify In DC

On TransportationDistrict Councilman Curtis Jones,

Jr., will attend the Congressional

Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.

(CBCF) and the 41st Annual Leg-

islative Conference as a panel pre-

senter for an issue forum on

transportation and sustainable

communities.

Councilman Curtis, Jones Jr.

serves as the Chair of Philadelphia

City Council’s Committee of

Transportation & Public Utilities.

Given his commitment and leader-

ship role he will discuss future ini-

tiatives to assist with Philadel-

phia’s overall goal of a prominent

and superb public transportation

system and transit oriented devel-

opment.

“Public transportation is the back-

ground of flourishing neighbor-

hoods and commercial corridors,

without successful, safe, and the

most modern transit options a City

cannot flourish to its full capacity

and capabilities,” said Jones.

“Transportation impacts everyday

life, including employment oppor-

tunities, housing and education op-

tions, as well as access to health

care, goods and services. Philadel-

phia is a unique city that appreci-

ates the concept of

transit-orientation and is building

upon this initiative and I am proud

to be a part of the leadership dis-

cussion to make our City’s public-

transportation system even more

accessible and valuable for resi-

dents as well as visitors.”

Penna. Ballet Opens 48th SeasonPennsylvania Ballet bursts into the

2011-2012 season with a program

packed with choreographic heavy-

weights, Russian Suite: Ratman-

sky and Balanchine. Featuring the

North American premiere of

Alexei Ratmansky’s Jeu de Cartesplus two George Balanchine clas-

sics, Russian Suite: Ratmansky &

Balanchine takes the Academy of

Music stage Oct. 20-23.

“These are two major dance icons

on one program –Balanchine is a

ballet legend, and Ratmansky is a

legend in the making,” Artistic Di-

rector Roy Kaiser says. “Premier-

ing a Ratmansky work in the

States is huge coup for the Com-

pany, and for Philadelphia.”

Alexei Ratmansky originally cre-

ated his bold, abstract Jeu deCartes for the famed Bolshoi Bal-

let. Until now, no other company

has performed the work. The

French title translates to “The

Card Game,” which for Ratman-

sky simply addresses the “gamble”

of choreographing to Igor Stravin-

sky’s musical complexities. Called

“the most sought-after man in bal-

let” by The New Yorker, Ratman-

sky draws on both his classical

Russian training and Western in-

fluences.

Two diverse treasures from Penn-

sylvania Ballet’s patriarch, the un-

paralleled George Balanchine,

complete the program. RaymondaVariations was inspired by Balan-

chine’s love of Alexander

Glazunov’s Raymonda and the

music’s “grand and generous man-

ner, its joy and playfulness.”

Opening with a waltz for the prin-

cipal ballerina and a corps of 12,

the ballet is a practical A to Z of

classical technique.


Broadway meets ballet in Slaugh-ter on Tenth Avenue, Balanchine’s

hilarious story of a dancer who

falls in love with the girlfriend of

a big mob boss. This “Chicago”-style one-act features sassy, show-

stopping choreography set to

Richard Rodgers’ score.

Tickets to Russian Suite: Ratman-

sky & Balanchine are on sale now,

with prices ranging from $20 to

$140. Tickets are available online

at paballet.org, by phone at (215)

893-1999, and in person at the

Kimmel Center Box Office.
