Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit puzzle: Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

Delco Council Gets More Examples Of Crisis Caused By Hospital Closings — Two women at the Aug. 20 meeting of Delaware County (Pa) Council addressed the consequences of closing four major hospitals in the last year.
Peggy Malone, who was a behavioral health nurse at Crozer Chester Medical Center, spoke on behalf of the 2,700 workers there who lost their jobs when it closed four months ago.
She expressed relief that behavioral health services were returning to the community and asked if the crisis stabilization unit would be similar to the robust in-patient unit at Crozer.
The provider, Belmont Behavioral Health Services, made a presentation earlier that night.
Belmont is a Philadelphia-based limited liability corporation.
Ms. Malone was told no, confirming that no-inpatient unit is expected soon in the county.
She asked that Council make a commitment to prioritize hiring those laid off at Crozer.
She noted that many still have not been able to find jobs.
Jamie from Lansdowne who is part of Put People First! Pa noted that 21 other hospitals have closed in Pennsylvania besides the four in Delco.
She it was a crime to watch now vacant Crozer decay.
She says we are in a period of abundance and that the scarcity narrative is false.
Jamie said the poor neighbors are being especially hit hard by decreased options for medical care.
“We need urgent and comprehensive solutions,” she said. “We don’t need little micro-hospitals.”
She said hospitals should not be profit-based and expressed concern about the motivations of Belmont, which, as noted, is a limited liability corporation.
In other words, it’s for profit.
Jamie said that the laid-off workers from all four hospitals be prioritized in any hiring by Belmont.
Immigration Mutilation And Cruelty
By Sharon Devaney
We seem to have a animal cruelty problem in Delaware County, Pa.
Anigar Monsee, a resident of Upper Darby, is serving five years probation for four felony counts of videoing herself torturing and kill pets live on YouTube and Facebooks.
Granted the sentence includes 23 months for time served.
The deaths would take several minutes while her daughter would cry in the background.
The animals would be acquired as pets.
Ms. Monsee is a native of Liberia.
Hey Upper Darby, the world in one place right?
Hopefully, Ms. Monsee’s immigration status is investigated.
She was convicted in May and sentenced in July.
By the way, not every one is bothered by this. Inquirer reporter Victor Fiorillo says he’d be fine grilling Guinea pig bought from a pet shop.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit puzzle: Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in the senate.

Hill Prison Guards Getting 2 Hours Sleep Between Shifts — Albert Johnson of Morton, a corrections officer and union representative at George Hill Prison, told Delaware County (Pa) Council, yesterday, Aug. 20, that the prison remains in crisis especially for the guards.
“It is not safe there,” he said. “Inmates are able to go to any door at any time go into another cell and commit criminal things against each other.”
He said the $25 the county gives the inmates hurts them as they are extorted for it from other inmates.
Further, Johnson said the prison cannot retain officers due to the conditions.
“You see pictures and slides of new classes coming up, maybe one, maybe two will stay,” he said.
He says due to the work scheduling cooked up by the prison administration, officers find themselves getting between “two and three hours sleep between each shift.”
This obviously is a serious safety issue.
Johnson called for a return to split shifts which were in place before this present bunch took over and named the inexperienced Laura Williams as warden.
Ms. Williams is stepping down and Johnson said those he represents desperately want to work with whoever takes over.
Kimberly Brown of Colwyn, a case worker at Hill, was joyful at the impending change in administration.
“It’s a lovely day at George W. Hill,” she said. “Armageddon day is scheduled for Sept. 5.”
That would be Ms. Williams last day.
Ms. Brown warned about naming any of the deputy wardens as interim warden along with other administrators.
You can see what she says here starting at 54:20.
Johnson’s remarks start at 1:24:38.
Joe Finio of Marple said Council ignores important things like the prison and the Don Guanella project in lieu of feel-good things like the human relations commission.
Delco Continues To Ignore CYS Issues — LaPenta of Upper Chichester returned to Delaware County (Pa) Council last night, Aug. 20, and again told them the system regarding domestic protective services for children and adults is broken.
She noted victims complaints and concerns are often ignored and real squeaky wheels suffer retailiation.
“While you sit in silence the abuse gets worse,” she said. “Victims don’t come forward because they know nothing will happen. Nothing or worse, retaliation. Family court victims, CYS victims, survivors of this misuse of PFAs, we are silenced. Not only by our abusers but by the very institutions meant to protect us.”
She said she was “exhausted” by being told that nothing could be done and that it if was a councilmember’s family member she could guarantee that something would get done.
What say you Christine Reuther?
Never mind, we know what you would say.
It just wouldn’t be truthful.

Ballard Spahr To Be Bond Czar For $115M Delco Float — Delaware County (Pa) Council, last night, Aug. 20, held the first reading of a bond float calling for a “general obligation debt in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $115,000,000.”
They named the Ballard Spahr law firm as general counsel for the issuance.
Ballard Spahr is chaired by Mark S. Stewart.
Who is Mark S. Stewart?
Stewart had been chair of the firm until recently and is now its senior council.
Oh, he’s also the hubby of Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon who represents Delco.
Remember, Democrat voters your party is the party of the little guy.

Wish we could tell you what Ballard Spahr’s cut of the bond float is going to end up being. We are confident, though, it could pay a rich man’s county taxes for a decade or two.
By the way, we never heard Council mention a dollar amount in the presentation. Maybe we just missed it. It can be watched here.
The vote will be next month.
Ballard Spahr is a Philly firm, by the way.
Council couldn’t find one from Delco to handle things?
Sorry, silly question.
Delco Human Rights Commission Will Protect Men Using The Ladies Room — Delaware County (Pa) Council, last night, Aug. 20, heard the first reading of an ordinance for an human relations commission.
This commission will be empowered to levy fines and penalties. This means unnecessary headaches for employers, landlords and whoever else finds himself with a responsibility of providing services or products.
The ordinance creates a myriad of protected classes — including transgender — and these protected people will get to file complaints and grievances.
Say goodbye to private bathrooms, ladies of Delco.
Oh, the law applies to education too. Natural born girls can expect to ride the bench if they even bother trying out for the school team.
Unless, federal law should “Trump” it, as appears likely.
Several spoke in favor of the ordinance. These included two mothers of transgender children, and Rosalind Spigel, a member of the Haverford Township Human Relations Commission.
Paul Rumley of Springfield gave damning reasons as to why the law was bad. The commission is superfluous as the state has one already, he noted, and merely adds another level of bureaucracy to Delco government.
He quoted a column by former Delco Councilman Wally Nunn, pointing out that the protected categories in the county now include race, ethnicity, religion, creed, national origin, sex, pregnancy, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, genetic information, GED over high school diploma, disability, source of income, age, height, weight, veteran status, guide animals, and even domestic or sexual violence victim status.
Rumley further explained that while the commissioners will be unpaid their staff must certainly will be. The burden on county taxpayers will grow ever larger.
Media GOP Chairman Michael Straw also addressed the issue. Straw noted he was openly gay and expressed support for the non-discrimination rules but had serious skepticism regarding the commission due to the cost that will be most certainly associated with it.
Leftist Activist Named Delco Solicitor — A woman with a history of radical leftist activism has been appointed solicitor of Delaware County, Pa.
Lee Awbrey, who had worked in the public defender’s office, will replace Jonathan Lichtenstein.
The vote, last night, Aug. 20, by County Council was unanimous.
Speaking in favor of the appointment was Chris Welch (phonetic) of Havertown who is Delco’s chief public defender and represented a contingent of public defenders office.
Carris Kocher of Concord, however, pointed out that Ms. Awbrey after graduating from Berekley had paid positions with Greenpeace and Bernie Sanders.
Can those who want fair elections expect fairness in dealing with Delco?
That’s a fair question.
