The Greater Philadelphia Area
A path runs through West Chester, Pennsylvania that was originally used my the Minquas in their conquest of the Lenni-Lenape (aka Delaware) Indians. The trail sign can be found at the intersection of Route 322, Route 100 and Route 202.
“Minquas” meaning “treacherous” was the Lenni-Lenape name for the Susquehannock, their traditional enemy.
Ozone air quality alerts plague the Philadelphia Region. One of the leading causes of bad air quality is Ground Level Ozone.
Low level ozone (tropospheric ozone) is highly volatile and is created in large part due to vehicle emissions. “Ground level ozone is a serious problem in cities with lots of traffic, such as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Houston and New York City. In 2013, according to the American Lung Association, nearly four in 10 people in the United States (38 percent) lived in areas with unhealthful levels of ozone.” The use of ethanol in gasoline is causing a dramatic increase in low level ozone.
The harmful ozone is created when partially combusted fuel reacts with the temperature and ultraviolet light. May 2 is early in the season for an ozone alert.

Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects an estimated 16.4 million adults and 7.0 million children in the United States, regardless of age, sex, race, or ethnicity.(1) Although the exact cause of asthma is unknown and it cannot be cured, bad air quality is believed to be the main cause. In particular, low level ozone is causing an increase in asthma-like symptoms.(2) What many people believe are food allergies are just symptoms of respiratory and immune system damage caused by ozone.

Ozone is not only killing humans, it is also killing the trees. The chain reaction is known as an adverse feedback loop.

“That brings an end to this edition of The Big Dumb Show. Don’t take any crap from anybody,” says John DeBella everyday when he signs off the morning show on 102.9 WMGK.
Ironically, John DeBella is in trouble for forcing his crap on other people. His former on-air partner, Jen Neill Posner, has filed a sexual harassment suit against DeBella. The lawsuit alleges “egregious, gross, and degrading sex-based harassment.” Posner claims the legendary Philly DJ subjected her to more than a decade of physical and verbal harassment. (1)
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that DeBella “grabbed her breasts on several occasions during her time at WMGK, and repeatedly asked her to perform oral sex on him, among other inappropriate behaviors. Additionally, she says in the suit that DeBella pressed his groin against her multiple times, and once put her hand on his genital area. DeBella also allegedly referred to Neill as “Bitch” in the WMGK office, the lawsuit claims.” (2)
A campaign by listeners has been launched to Boycott: John DeBella Sponsors.
Multiple inquires to WMGK and Beasley Media have gone unanswered as to why they allow the Big Dumb Show to go on.
