First Come first Serve The westbound Capitol Limited leaves McKeesport at 11:15 p.m. and the eastbound at 4:07 a.m. The Capitol Limited runs from Chicago to Washington, D.C. Gaydos was particularly critical of Amtrak's decision to eliminate the stop since the train would still travel through McKeesport for Gaydos.

Black said Amtrak printed timetables every sir months and the next one was scheduled to be published in April. "If there's any change, we'll announce it prior to April," Black said. "Meanwhile, we'll continue to monitor ridership in McKeesport" and Amtrak responded," Black said. The Allegheny County commissioners Thursday asked Amtrak to reconsider its decision. Amtrak Chairman W.

The adoption system is skewed in favor of white families, assuming wrongly that low-income black families cannot provide a stable home environment, black activists charge.

"Adoption is white middle-class oriented," said Azizi Powell, director of Black Adoption Services, a referral and support service for black parents that organized the seminar. "It was never created with black people in mind." Over the past 2Vt years, that practice has begun to change, she said. Her service has helped place 38 black children with black families in the Western Pennsylvania region and the numbers are growing. Moreover, studies have shown transracial adoption to have had mixed results, she added. While receiving many of the privileges of a white, upper-income environment, adopted black children, struggling to come to terms with being adopted, have the double dilemma of being a different race from their parents.
