He asked himself, “What’s the most of this place that I can put into something?” The answer came in a bottle. A few years ago Farrell quit his job as a commodity trader for a Chicago company to make organic, cold-pressed juice. please see JUICE, page 11 Kyle Ober, left, and Cullen Farrell are founders of ríjuice, a cold-pressed juice company with a production facility at Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative in East Hempfield Township.

Takeout sales of hard liquor, similar to wine-to-go changes last year in supermar- kets and convenience-store chains, has al- ready been proposed. And beer distributors could get permission to sell wine. There is chatter, too, about streamlining the transaction process in supermarkets and convenience stores by allowing beer and wine to be sold at the same registers as food. Also on the table is creation of a new class of liquor license for large retailers and allowing restaurant liquor licenses to move across county lines to help control costs for restaurateurs and meet demand in growing areas. Distributors don’t really have a choice but to take what new piece of business the state gives them, Pluta said. If distributors don’t adapt, growing competition from su- permarkets and convenience-store chains, Rich Pluta owns Newport Beverage in Perry County.

No. 1:16-CV-0510 Plaintiffs, : : v. : : CITY OF HARRISBURG, : HARRISBURG CITY COUNCIL, : and ERIC PAPENFUSE, in his : official capacity as Mayor of : Harrisburg, : : Judge Sylvia H. Rambo Defendants. : M E M O R A N D U M This First Amendment case comes before the court on remand from the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for reconsideration of Colleen Reilly and Becky Biter’s (“Plaintiffs”)1 motion for a preliminary injunction. In its opinion, Reilly v. City of Harrisburg, 858 F.3d 173, 175 (3d Cir. 2017), as amended (June 26, 2017) (“Reilly II”), the Third Circuit clarified the proper standard for determining whether a plaintiff is entitled to preliminary injunctive relief. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin the enforcement of an ordinance enacted by the City of Harrisburg (the “City”) requiring demonstrators to remain a certain distance from the entrances, exits, and driveways of health care facilities. After reconsideration 1 As noted by the Third Circuit, Rosalie Gross was a plaintiff in the original action before this court, Reilly v. City of Harrisburg, 205 F.

  • We Are Members of the Bipartisan Mayors for Parks Coalition, a Project of the City Parks Alliance
    May 4, 2017 Dear Member of Congress: We are members of the bipartisan Mayors for Parks Coalition, a project of the City Parks Alliance. The Mayors for Parks Coalition represents mayors from cities large and small across the country that advocate for strong park systems. As legislation is being developed to help address our nation’s infrastructure needs, we want you to know that mayors recognize parks as essential elements of city planning, and ask that you include park infrastructure as an eligible component within any infrastructure legislation. Mayors know that innovative investments in community parks help grow local economies by creating jobs, increasing property values, and attracting the kinds of businesses, workforces, and private capital that make metropolitan areas competitive in today’s global economy. In fact, many studies have shown that parks add a 15% premium to nearby residential and commercial land. Parks make cities more resistant to weather-driven problems. Nationwide, cities are confronted with the impacts of major storms and flooding. Hurricane Sandy caused up to $70 billion in damages to communities. Cities are now creating and using parks as an infrastructure approach to manage stormwater and prevent flooding. For example, over the next 25 years Philadelphia will be investing $2 billion in parks and infrastructure to capture 85% of the city’s stormwater, saving the city $16 billion that would otherwise be spent on underground pipes and tunnels. Similar budget-smart infrastructure approaches are being used in cities across the country. This type of infrastructure investment makes plain sense. Mayors also know that parks are critical to maintaining and improving the physical and mental health of all Americans.

  • 03-08-16 Escheat Property
    INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM CITY OF HARRISBURG March 8, 2016 TO: Bruce Weber, Finance Director Bureau of Financial Management FROM: Charlie DeBrunner, Controller Office of the Controller SUBJECT: Pennsylvania Treasury-Unclaimed Property Search As you may be aware, the Pennsylvania Treasury’s Bureau of Unclaimed Property is responsible for collecting, holding, and disbursing property and funds that have not been claimed or cashed by the payee. After a certain period of dormancy, payers of these financial obligations are required to turn over those outstanding obligations to the state as escheat property. Any individual or business can do an escheat property search on the Pennsylvania Treasury’s Unclaimed Property website to see if they have anything being held under their name. My office has done this for the payee search terms “Harrisburg” and “City Treasurer”. The corresponding results are attached and highlighted in yellow. I recommend that appropriate staff be assigned the task of following up on the attached items and completing the necessary claim forms in order to have the property returned to the city. Additionally, I would recommend Financial Management staff establish a policy to periodically (annually) search for escheated property in the city’s name. Thank you. cc: Eric Papenfuse, Mayor Tyrell Spradley, Treasurer File Pennsylvania Treasury - Bureau of Unclaimed Property - Page 1 of 15 New Search Search Results Accounts appearing on this page will remain visible and claimable even after a claim has been initiated. The property will be removed from the Web site once Treasury has received sufficient documentation to prove entitlement. To learn more about an account and how to claim it, check the box next to the name and then press 'Request Claim Form'.

  • President Donald J. Trump the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C
    President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: As elected officials, we write today to express our strong support for resettling refugees in our states and communities and urge you to resettle at least 75,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2019. We hope that you will take into consideration the voices of state and local communities as we join together in support of this life-saving program and express their desire to help protect refugees in need. Every day, 44,000 people are displaced from their homes because of violence, persecution, or war. The United Nations Refugee Agency reports that over 68.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, 25.4 million of whom are registered as refugees. More than half of those registered are children. Despite this ongoing crisis, last year the United States set its lowest ever resettlement goal of 45,000 refugees, and to date, has only resettled 18,214 refugees this fiscal year. This is one of the lowest numbers of refugees the U.S. has resettled in the history of the program, at the time of the greatest need. We can do so much more. The United States of America is a nation founded and built by immigrants and refugees. It is that history that makes our collective states and communities strong; it is our deep respect for hard work, our shared commitment to the country we call home, and our belief that America is a beacon of hope, that unites us. We have heard our constituents express their support for resettling refugees in our communities.
