Adjournment CEO REPORT Report of the Chief Executive Officer OCTOBER, 2015 Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey One Port Center 2 Riverside Drive Camden, New Jersey 08101-1949 October 21, 2015 To the Commissioners: The following is a summary of recent DRPA activities. The appropriate reports are attached: Stewardship /Stewardship I would like to thank all of our employees and volunteers who helped make the Papal Visit weekend event a tremendous success. I could not be more proud of the way in which our team has performed. Teams from the DRPA and PATCO engaged in extensive planning and preparation for several months. Those who have been directly involved have gone above and beyond in this effort and those who have not been directly involved have supported the team effort. Our ability to provide the pilgrims crossing the Ben Franklin Bridge or riding PATCO with a safe, secure, pleasurable experience was a primary goal and I believe it was achieved. The Walker Family drove nearly 200 days and 13,000 miles from Buenos Aires, Argentina to the US through 13 countries in order to see Pope Francis in Philadelphia during the World Meeting of Families. Turns out they rode PATCO from New Jersey to Philadelphia. Noel and Catire Walker and their four children met with the Pope early Sunday morning, at his residence in Philadelphia’s Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. Father Federico Lombardi, SJ, the head of the Holy See Press Office stated “The Pope said to me explicitly to say [that he had met with the family] because for him it was a very interesting moment, and the experience of this family has touched him very much.” The Family said the meeting was the “the best gift of all” after their long journey. A customer wrote in to praise our actions, “Congratulations to everyone at PATCO for providing excellent service on Sunday, 9/27! Nice job! My wife and I boarded at Lindenwold around 9:15 AM. PATCO staff and police were pleasant and professional as our bags were inspected. Your idea to remove the ticket gates at 9th-10th & Locust was a slick idea and really made the flow of passengers easy. On our return, we boarded at 9th- 10th & Locust around 7:45 PM and everything flowed fine.” “A huge thank you from us here at Jefferson Hospital. Everyone was very thankful for the train. I had one woman who said she was a mother with two small children at home and didn't know what she was going to do if she had to stay here for three days. When she saw the announcement for the special train she thanked God. I am very thankful for your assistance and the partnership we have with PATCO.” A customer wrote, “Thank you for all the security over the weekend. I'm sure some people will say it was 'overkill' but I felt extremely safe traveling to see the Pope on Saturday. Great job!!! Thank you to everyone who assisted in this effort!!!” During a couple’s recent crossing of the BRB in route to a hospital to see a relative who had undergone emergency surgery after being involved in a motorcycle accident, Officer James Hartnett provided invaluable assistance. Officer Harnett did not think they would be able to reach Cooper Hospital if they continued on the same route as this was during the Papal Visit weekend road closures. He not only told them which route to take, but actually had them follow him while he led them onto the correct road. The couple arrived just in time before life support apparatus was removed. They had a chance to see their uncle before he passed. “We both consider it a gift from Officer Hartnett that we were able to be there, as we would not have made it there when we did without his assistance. We will not forget the kindness he showed us. Officer Hartnett, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I want you to know how much it matters to us, the opportunity you gave us through your actions. We are so grateful. Please stay safe and God bless.” Bryan and Jennifer Finn On September 10th, 2015 while performing his duties at PATCO, Train Operator Andy Castillo #1771 went above and beyond his call of duty by assisting a patron who was being touched and harassed by a drunken unruly passenger, while on the platform at 16th & Locust station. Once Operator Castillo confronted the individual, as he began to harass and threaten other patrons, he himself became a victim of threats and physical assault. During the assault Operator Castillo received minor injuries to his neck area, while the out of control assailant attempted to throw him onto the tracks, while grabbing him by the neck. While being attacked, Operator Castillo was able to yell out to the attacker that the Police were on their way. At that time, he released Operator Castillo and fled up to concourse level where he was ultimately placed under arrest by PATCO Police, charged accordingly and lodged in the Philadelphia Prison system. Due to Operator Castillo’s selfless act and concern for his patrons, he prevented further attacks and injuries to the patrons of the Delaware River Port Authority. As another example of our agency’s community stewardship and shared values in action, I am pleased to report that, on October 19, 2015, CAO Toni P. Brown was a panelist at a workshop for Camden Small Businesses hosted by Camden Mayor Dana L. Redd and Camden City Council President Francisco “Frank” Moran at the Waterfront Technology Center in Camden. This workshop, according to the organizers, was a unique opportunity for small contractors to learn how to: (1) sell their goods and services to large corporations; (2) be added to vendor lists for local businesses; and (3) find and respond to RFPs for local development projects. As a panelist, CAO Brown had the opportunity to discuss how to do business with the DRPA, among other topics. The Office of Business Development & Equal Opportunity (OBD&EO) also staffed a table with extensive information during the event’s Resource Fair, including OBD&EO’s 2014 Year End Summary Report of Awards and Payments to Disadvantaged, Minority and Women-Owned Vendors, Contractors and Consultants, information on how to sign up for OBD&EO’s Quarterly News Alert, instant e- alerts, and vendor profile forms to fill out and submit for processing. Mrs. Brown also had invitations on hand at this event to the November 12, 2015 Special Engineer and Contractor Event, a partnership between the OBD&EO and Engineering Department, where companies are invited to come to DRPA to learn how to do business and network with each other and Authority staff. DRPA Under CEO Emergency Powers I approved an invoice in the amount of $46,450 for Vitarelli’s Catering for catering services for approximately 500 employees, volunteers, and National Guard who were scheduled to support safety and security efforts during the weekend of the Papal visit. A Right of Entry Agreement with the County of Camden was approved to install cameras on the OPC roof for monitoring and observation during the Papal weekend visit.

  • Timeline of the American Revolution 1763 - 1783
    Timeline of the American Revolution 1763 - 1783 Key Events in Bolded Italic Prelude Early Americans had made the risky Atlantic crossing seeking a better life, adventure, religious freedom and political autonomy. They built a society in the New World and for generations ran it with little outside meddling. After the French and Indian War, Britain initiated policies aimed at bringing the colonists under closer control. Tensions grew. Many Americans stood firm in their belief that the King had suspended their natural rights. Increasingly, resistance leaders banded together. The stage for the Revolution was set. February 10, 1763 The Treaty of Paris ends Seven Year’s War (French and Indian War). Left in debt from war, Great Britain looks to colonies for revenue. October 7, 1763 Proclamation of 1763 bars settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. April 5, 1764 Sugar Act imposes stricter trade regulation and duties on sugar and molasses. March 22, 1765 Stamp Act places tax on printed matter and legal documents. June 29, 1767 Townshend Revenue Acts create new import duties for the colonists. October 1768 British soldiers arrive in Boston to enforce compliance with new regulations. March 5, 1770 “Boston Massacre.” King's troops kill five civilians before British back off and troops leave Boston. All Townshend duties removed except for tax on tea. December 16, 1773 Chests of tea destroyed in protest at Boston “Tea Party.” March-June 1774 Coercive Acts close port of Boston, bring Massachusetts’s government under crown control, and allow for quartering of British troops on private property. September-October 1774 First Continental Congress meets in Philadelphia and approves collective strategy to deal with Coercive Acts.
