 No, count up—it’s only a matter of time
The NCAA’s winningest coach? That’s Philadelphia University’s Herb Magee who popped to the top, garnering 903 wins, on February 23rd. And his whole world was there to celebrate…family, team, students, even other coaches…filling the gymnasium at PhilaU in anticipation.
Coach Magee’s team came out hyped, and they never stopped believing. The man who tells them, “You just gotta listen to what I say…” made that listening worthwhile. Congratulations, Coach…you deserve the accolades! |

Lovely to look at... 
Delightful to mold... 
But, let's face it Philly, it's too damn cold!

Please, be respectful of your neighbors. Don’t throw snow into the street, and be sure to clean it off the roof or your car before driving. If an ice block falls off and hits another vehicle or person, you are responsible. Act like a block captain -- get everyone on your block together to get all the parking spaces cleared; could free up some extra spots. By the way, try to enjoy it – August may be sweltering!

 The Philadelphia Police Department recently subdivided each of its districts into Police Service Areas (PSAs). Basically, these are geographic zones led by a lieutenant with a team of sergeants and officers responsible for coordinating police services within the smaller, defined area.
Fallser editor Julie Camburn, along with a handful of East Falls Town Watch (EFTW) members and 39th P.D. Crime Prevention Officer Joseph Lukaitis met on February 15th at Philadelphia University with Lt. Michael Deal, who is new to the 39th and who now heads up the Police Service Area #1, into which East Falls has been placed. PSA 1 extends into Germantown. |

Last week I wrote a portion of a grant proposal for the Inn Yard Park playground. One of the questions I answered was “What benefit does the East Falls Community Council [EFCC] bring to the community?” Following is my response: (1) The Zoning and Land Use Committee meets monthly to review requests for variances from the City Zoning Code. It provides a forum for potentially affected neighbors to discuss with the applicant the how, what, and why of the proposed change. It then advises the City of the residents’ support or opposition to requests by those who want to alter the general rules, and explains the community position. (2) The Fall Festival offers and coordinates programs during October for the community: Multi-Cultural Festival, Fallsers’ Perform, Art Show & Sale, Cemetery Tour, House Tour, Old Academy Players production, Halloween Carnival, Poetry Readings, Glassblowing, and a Historical Tour.
(3) We have an annual Flea Market with about 250 vendors where neighbors buy and sell. |
