From Tom Waring at the Northeast Times:

City Councilman Bill Green was happy to hear that one of his aides, Scott Mulvey, had helped the Northwood Civic Association solve a neighborhood problem.  Mulvey, who worked for former Councilman Dan Savage before joining Green’s staff in January, made arrangements to stop sewer water from overflowing and going into the garage of an Adams Avenue resident.  The civic group had tried to work with the office of Councilman Darrell Clarke for two years to no avail.  While Green (D-at large) is glad to provide constituent service, he prefers to tackle larger issues.

From Jon Campisi and the Northeast Times:

Marie Delany is clearly impassioned about her volunteerism.  It shows when she speaks about the Frankford Community Development Corporation, which she has led since 2005. Delany serves as president of the eight-member board of directors for the CDC, an organization that aims to usher in economic vitality to the lower Northeast neighborhood.

Don’t forget this Sunday:

We can’t let it pass without noting that Frankford won the public league championship.

Juan Namnun could have predicted as much.

“Jon’s our leader, any way you slice it,” said Namnun, the Pioneers’ first-year coach. “He’s our energy, our soul, our spirit. Anything we get going, he’s the one who does it.”

Thanks to a 15-5, six-inning win last night over Central, Frankford rules the Pub for the fifth time in six seasons (Central won in 2006) and now boasts an astonishing 7-year league record of 117-8, counting regular-season games and playoffs.
