For SaturdayThe Streets Dept. is asking those with household haz-
ardous waste to take them to its Highway Yards at
4800 Parkside Avenue in West Philadelphia. This in-
cludes old and unused oil-based paint, solvents, pesti-
cides, flammable liquids such as old gasoline and

Council Of Clergy Endorses Savage For CouncilThe Philadelphia Council of
Clergy endorsed Danny Savage for
7th Dist. City Council seat. The
Philadelphia Council of Clergy is a
nondenominational, multicultural
group representing over 200
churches in the area.
Savage continues to pick up sup-
port from a diverse coalition of
labor leaders, elected officials and
community organizations like the
Philadelphia teachers and firefight-
ers.
Rendell Endorses Andy Toy Governor Ed Rendell has endorsed
Andy Toy for City Council at
Large.
Toys relationship with Rendell
began when he worked at the
Commerce Dept. for the City of
Philadelphia during Rendells
tenure as Mayor.
I first met Andy nearly 20 years
ago, when he worked with me to
help make Philadelphia what it is
today. Since then, Andy has been a
tireless advocate for our neighbor-
hoods and someone who knows
how to create jobs, particularly
small businesses, which are the
backbone of our economy, stated
Rendell. He went on to state, no-
body can argue we arent in tough
economic times and that our
schools are facing new challenges.
I have seen what Andy Toy has
done for Philadelphia and I know
what he will do for us on City
Council, so I am honored to sup-
port his candidacy.
Throughout the campaign, Toy has
often referred to the vision Rendell
had for turning Philadelphia
around as what is possible if we
elect people with initiative and a
plan for our future. On Rendells
endorsement, Toy stated, I could
not be more proud of Gov. Ren-
dells support. Gov. Rendell is the
perfect example of what can hap-
pen if we elect people with a vi-
sion for our future. Ive spent the
last 25 years fighting for our
neighborhoods and creating jobs,
and I know on City Council I can
have an even greater impact on the
people of Philadelphia.
Toy has spent the last 25 years in
public service; working in the
Goode and Rendell Administra-
tions and more recently, working
at The Enterprise Center to em-
power minority-owned entrepre-
neurs and help small-business
owners succeed. He has been en-
dorsed by DA Seth Williams the
Fraternal Order of Police, Unite
Here! Local 54, Americans for
Democratic Action and Philadel-
phia NOW because of his record
of creating jobs, improving neigh-
borhoods and his strong commit-
ment to reform City government.

Philadelphia Educators Get Lindback
Distinguished Teaching AwardSixty-six outstanding School District of Philadelphia
teachers were honored today with the Lindback Dis-
tinguished Teaching Award at a ceremony at the
Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia. The award was
created by the Philadelphia-based Christian R. and
Mary F. Lindback Foundation in 2008 to recognize
School District teachers for their educational leader-
ship and public service. The foundation provides a
$3,500 award to each recipient.
As a former teacher, I know how much it means to
these dedicated men and women to have their efforts
recognized by the broader community, said School
District of Philadelphia Superintendent Arlene C.
Ackerman. We are indebted to the vision of the
Lindbacks, grateful for the generosity of the founda-
tion, and appreciative of the work of the foundations
trustees, who keep the founders vision alive.
The trustees of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lind-
back Foundation are pleased to present for the fourth
time an annual award, bearing the Lindbacks name,
which honors School District of Philadelphia teach-
ers, said Lindback Foundation Trustee Sheldon M.
Bonovitz. We feel it important and too many times
overlooked to recognize the role teachers play in the
education of Philadelphias school children. The posi-
tive impact that teachers make on their students rever-
berates throughout their lives. The educators we are
honoring today have met the highest standards we
hold for adults in this influential position. The sub-
jective and objective results they have achieved speak
volumes about what can be accomplished in our
school system, and potentially in the lives of their stu-
dents past, present and future.
School Reform Commission Chairman Robert L.
Archie Jr. said, The members of the School Reform
Commission thank the Lindback Foundation for
saluting these exemplary high-achieving teachers, and
we thank these outstanding professionals for their
commendable work on behalf of Philadelphias stu-
dents.
Joining Superintendent Ackerman, Chairman Archie
and Mr. Bonovitz for the ceremony were: Philadel-
phia Federation of Teachers President Jerry Jordan;
Lindback Foundation Trustees Reginald Middleton
and David Loder; District leadership; and the hon-
orees colleagues, families and friends.
