Casey Pushes For Law

Enforcement Programs US Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) has

asked congressional leaders urging

them to adequately fund programs

that support local law enforce-

ment. A House proposal would

completely eliminate funding for

the Community Oriented Policing

Services Hiring Program, which

would be devastating to communi-

ties struggling to afford enough

law-enforcement officials to keep

neighborhoods safe.

“Cuts to these programs would

hurt local law enforcement in

Pennsylvania and across the coun-

try. As a result, our streets would

be less safe and our nation less se-

cure,” said the Senator. “Commu-

nities struggling to recover from

the economic downturn should not

be burdened with the added stress

of losing this critical support to

keep their families and neighbor-

hoods safe.”

Joe Frazier’s Family Thanks

A Grieving City

CHAMPION JOE FRAZIER in

his prime.

The family of Joe Frazier released

the following statement:

“We, The Family of the 1964

Olympic Boxing Heavyweight

Gold Medalist, Former Heavy-

weight Boxing Champion and In-

ternational Boxing Hall of Fame

Member Smokin’ Joe Frazier, re-

gret to inform you of his passing.

He transitioned from this life as

‘One of God’s Men,’ on the

evening of Nov. 7, 2011 at his

home in Philadelphia, Pa. We

thank you for your prayers for our

Father and vast outpouring of love

and support.

“Respectfully, we request time to

grieve privately as a family. Our

father’s homegoing celebration

will be announced as soon as pos-

sible. Thank you for your under-

standing.

“Bible Scripture: St. Jude, Verses24 and 25 ‘Now unto Him that isable to keep you from falling, andto present you faultless before thepresence of His glory with exceed-ing joy. To the only wise God ourSavior, be glory and majesty, do-minion and power. Both now andever. Amen.’”

Nationwide Test

Of Emergency

Alert System

Set For Tomor-

row

The Federal Emergency Management

Agency will conduct the first nationwide

test of the Emergency Alert System at 2

p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Pennsylvania’s radio, television and

cable stations will participate by inter-

rupting regularly scheduled program-

ming with an Emergency Alert System

test announcement lasting approximately

30 seconds.

“This event is significant because al-

though we do tests at the local and state

level on a weekly and monthly basis, the

system has never been tested nationally,”

said Glenn Cannon, director of the Penn-

sylvania Emergency Management

Agency. “We need to do this so that we

are better prepared, should we need to

notify a large portion of the nation.”

During the test, the public will hear

the message, “This is only a test.”

Most television stations will also

display a visual message under the

emergency alert activation notice,

informing viewers that it is a drill.

“We want people to be aware of the

test so that they are not confused

and they know what to expect,” said

Cannon. “We need to know the sys-

tem will work as intended and en-

sure information can reach the

public.”

The Emergency Alert System

broadcasts over cable and satellite

television, terrestrial and satellite

radio and wire-line video services.

It will not broadcast over mobile

communication devices. The Emer-

gency Alert System was launched in

1997 to replace the Emergency

Broadcast System, which had been

in use since 1963.

eral Emergency Management
