The Kayla-Katrina Connection

Does anyone out there know if MCP (Medical College of Pennsylvania) is empty? If so, please consider this: Can we place victims of Katrina there? We are sloganed "The City of Brotherly Love." Yes, we can send our money, and yes we can send supplies, and yes we can send humanitarian help to New Orleans and Mississippi, cities of devastation. But wouldn't it be a wonderful move on the part of the city of Philadelphia to bring victims here. Imagine if you will: MCP could be a REAL PLACE for us to help these REAL PEOPLE. We, as a city and as citizens would know these victims specific needs as families, and meet those needs. I called Govorner Rendell's Office, since this is his hometown and put the idea past some of the volunteers there, who are specifically in place to help the victims of Katrina. Now those of you who know me, know that these days I am obsessed with JUSTICE FOR KAYLA, but, the vast scope and suffering of the people effected by Katrina must affect our sense of humanity...outherwise we have lost our humanity.

NeuvoManayunk

When is enough...enough?

“JUSTICE FOR KAYLA”

As a 5th generation "Yunker" I have a passionate love for Manayunk (which by the way is a Lenipi Indian word meaning "Where we gather to drink" or "watering hole"). The Lenipi Indians didn't get into vehicles, after having too much to drink at "the watering hole"...ending their nights in death.
NeuvoManayunk has no resemblance to the Manayunk I grew up in and love. These days my memories of Manayunk are far better than the reality of Main Street. I owned a business in the 80's at Main St. and Levering where I designed many of the business images for the Renaissance of Manayunk. At the first Manayunk Arts Festival I won "Best of Show" for my Main Street, Manayunk watercolor.
In 1981 I painted the mural on the wall at the Green Lane Bridge that proclaims to people "Our way of living together in Manayunk is a strong but delicate fabric. Let us not tear it asunder. For no one knows, once it is destroyed, if its protective warmth will ever be found again".

The deaths of Kayla Peter and Jena McClelland are the end result of NeuvoManayunk, Philadelphia's chick Main Street! Do the bartenders of NeuvoManayunk ever say to party patrons "enough is enough". Do they ever refuse to serve. Is there a point at which, legally, they are obligated to not serve? The words of the painted mural have faded, perhaps our moral obligation has as well.

Susanna Goihman, according to her lawyer, Brian McGonigle "Would not knowingly hit a child..." No kidding Brian, after reportedly consuming five martinis on an empty stomach, and who knows how many at dinner, with her restaurant owner friend, it’s surpassing Susanna Goihman could find her car, let alone drive it!

The employees, owners and staff of the bars and restaurants Susanna Goihman patronized on June 19th need to do the right thing. Jena McClelland, dead on Christmas Eve 2001, in an auto accident, after being served and consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Where was she served? Main Street, Manayunk. Kayla Peter, killed on Father's Day 2005, by a driver who was served and consumed a substantial amount of alcohol. Where? Main Street, Manayunk. "The Drinking Hole."

The delicate fabric has begun to tear with the deaths of Jena and Kayla.


You might find this of interest from way back in 1996. I wondered during the 28 days of "Honk For Kayla" why Mr. Nutter, though I sent him an e-mail inviting him to do so, never came to the corner of Queen & Henry. I can't wait to find out who the restaurant owner was who went to dinner that night with Susanna Goihman. I wonder if it was anyone mentioned in this article from the past? Hummmmm

Gracie Sez

Below is the context of the hand written sign posted inside the front window of AZAFRAN by an employee...those same employees posted the sign on the left.

12 August 2005

The staff of Azafran was informed last night that as of 28 August, the restaurant will permanently close its doors.

It is our understanding that the sale has been in negotiations for more than six months, but, regardless of the circumstances, it will be happening nontheless.

Just 3 days later (August 15) in The Philadelphia Inquirer it was reported that, "no one there (AZAFRAN staff) knew whether or when the restaurant was closing"

2 MONTHS


This Friday, August 19...how shall we make the day special? The "Remembering Kayla" DVD has been updated. If you would like to view it on the big screen at Queen & Henry please let me know. Bring candles too...Also if anyone has any other ideas let us know. Push "comments" button below and tell us your ideas. Also please post as "other" leave your name and e-mail.
Thanks, Donna
