Council redrawing district boundaries RIKARD LARMA/METRO

City Council introduced two competing bills that change district boundaries Thursday in its first session back from summer recess.

The top priority on Council’s agenda is redistricting, which requires the legislative body to redraw boundaries every 10 years to re-

flect population shifts.

After weeks of discussion and closed-door negotiations, a group of Council members proposed a compromise map that would augment the 7th District, which currently winds through North Philadelphia, Kensington and into

the Northeast. The proposal would also divide up the 56th Ward into two districts from the current three. “(There was) a lot of give and take, and I’m taking a lot and not getting much.

But that’s part of reality,” Councilman Brian O’Neill told KYW Newsradio.

A second proposal from Councilman Frank DiCicco would put the entire 56th Ward, a Democratic stronghold, in O’Neill’s 10th district, a Republican.

Under law, Council must pass a bill by Sept. 22 or go without pay until the issue is resolved. SOLOMON D. LEACH

Chaput takes over after rocky tenure Archdiocese of Philadelphia installed its ninth archbishop yesterday during a ceremony at Cathedral of Peter and Paul Many supporters hope for stability after rocky end to Cardinal Justin Rigali’s tenure POOL PHOTO

Archbishop Charles Chaput took his position as Philadelphia’s new Catholic spiritual leader Thursday in an installation ceremony.

Onlookers gathered in front of the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, traveling from as far as Virginia and Connecticut.

Some wielded picket signs, others carried instruments and sang songs of praise.

“I feel it is important for us to be out here so the new archbishop sees the support he has from all parts of the church,” said Maria Genstorfer, 23, of Plainfield, N.J. Along with many of those gathered, Genstorfer is a member of Neocatechumenal Way, a Catholic organization that emphasizes evangelizing and service.

“We also are here to support the diocese. Many feel that the church is dead and full of old people,” said Nick Boynton, 31. “But most of RIKARD LARMA/METRO

our members are young.

They could be out doing anything in the world, but they’re here today.”

Chaput was previously the Archbishop of Denver and succeeds Cardinal Justin Rigali, who, at 75, has reached the Vatican-favored age of retirement.

“The Catholic Church is an institution that needs support,” said Mark Pennington, who runs a transitional living house in Bristol. “I’m here to pray for the archbishop and for the city of Philadelphia.”

“It’s important to live life helping, not walking around with signs saying someone else should help.”

Outside the ceremony in the rain, members of the National Survivor Advocates Coalition and Road to Recovery, Inc. carried signs bearing names and pictures of priest sex abuse victims.

CENTER CITY. The iconic fountain at LOVE Park changed to a light green in honor of the upcoming start to the Philadelphia Eagles’ season.

The season starts Sunday with a game at St. Louis, where the Rams will host Mike Vick and the rest of what backup quarterback Vince Young described as a “dream team.” The downtown park’s water color is often dyed to commemorate events. METRO

Questioning Chaput

G-R-E-E-N! GREEN!

“[Chaput] is a step backward because he’s more of the same,” said Robert Hoatson of Newark, N.J., a priest permanently suspended from practicing in 2005 for protesting. “If there is no progress, there’s regression.”

“When he was in Denver, he opposed legislation that would give sex abuse

victims their time in court,” Hoatson said.

“There are two bills now in the Pennsylvania legislature that I know he will not support. He will put millions into opposing them. He’s not here to change corruption into compassion or support victims. He’s here to tow the party line.” METRO/AW

CITY HALL. Council members Maria Quinones-Sanchez and Bill Green introduced a bill that would reform the city’s consistently admonished business privilege tax, which critics describe as discouraging to economic growth in Philadelphia.

Under the proposal, there would be an exemption from the gross receipts and net income parts of the tax for the first $100,000 of receipts of all businesses. METRO/SDL

Pa. on high alert thanks to flooding Gov. Corbett coincidentally raised state emergency level to highest since 9/11 Six of SEPTA’s Regional Rail lines suspended until this morning at the earliest RIKARD LARMA/METRO

The Delaware Valley and much of the Northeast continued to get walloped by the one-two punch from Hurricane Irene and the latest storm as flooding caused road closures, mass transit delays and evacuations all across the region.

The flooding closed several roadways Thursday morning and afternoon, including portions of Roosevelt Boulevard and Interstate 76, resulting in a headache for commuters.

SEPTA was forced to suspend service on six of its Regional Rail lines until Friday due to high water and debris.

The train’s stationary.

tral and northeastern Pennsylvania prompted Gov. Tom Corbett to raise the state’s alert to its highest possible level for emergency response — the highest the commonwealth has seen

the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Roughly 100,000 people were evacuated in the Wilkes-Barre area, and at least three deaths had been attributed to the storm as of Thursday, officials said.

“We face a public health emergency, because sewage treatment plants are underwater and no longer working,’’ Corbett said from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Harrisburg.

“Flood water is toxic and polluted. If you don’t have to be in it, keep out.’’

Obama hopes American Jobs Act will be OK’d by end of the year Says it’s time to end the ‘political circus’ President Barack Obama said on Thursday the United States faces a “national crisis” and pressed Congress to urgently pass a jobs package of tax cuts and government spending he is proposing to revive the stalled economy.

The cost of Obama's plan would be $447 billion, a Senate Democratic aide told Reuters.

With his poll numbers at new lows amid voter frustration with 9.1 percent unemployment, Obama was poised to use a high-stakes address to Congress to pitch a sweeping economic plan that is critical to his re-election chances but he faces an up-

NOT JUST BARBECUE COMING FROM TEXAS Opinion

TOM FOREMAN

POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR CNN

If I were President Obama, I’d be worried about Rick Perry. Not because he has shot up in polls like a cork-bobber in a catfish pond. Not because he has excited some corners of the Republican Party more than Michele Bachmann running a charter bus to the Cracker Barrel. But rather, because he is from Texas.

T

he Lone Star State has long played an outsized role in national politics. For reasons that resist full explanation (much like the career of Carrot Top), Texas has produced a steady supply of political players who have no qualms about strolling into the White House, kicking their boots up onto the desk and declaring, “By doggie, I lahk this ‘ere round office.

Think I’ll git me one!”

Eisenhower, Johnson, and of course both Bushes claimed Texas roots, meaning that since World War II, one third of our nation’s

chief executives have come from the land on the Brazos. A thundering herd of Congressional types, political commentators and activists, too, have Quoted charged out of Texas to hook headlines and “The prime produce some of the reason Texans most memorable moin politics. Ross seem so good ments Perot, Ann Richards, at commanding Tom Delay, Lloyd “You’re no Jack national Kennedy!” Bentsen; attention, I the list, like a summer think, is that drive to Houston in an they are crazy.” old DeSoto, just goes on and on.

FOREMAN Sure, Virginia, Ohio and New York have produced more presidents overall, but you have to go way back in history to round up all those names; and seriously, does anyone even care about the Hayes administration anymore?

W

e can figure some of the reasons for The Texas Effect. It has one of the largest state economies in the country, one of the largest populations and only California has more electoral votes.

But the prime reason Texans seem so good at commanding national attention, I think, is that they are crazy. I mean this in the most flattering way. Texans think big and bold.

They have outsized dreams, and they don’t hesitate to pursue them, even when conventional wisdom tells them they should, much like Barack Obama in the last presidential race.

None of this means Rick Perry will win the election — or even his party’s nomination. But you can bet your jingly spurs that he’ll make the race more interesting. Texans always do.

Fashion icon is fined for anti-semitic slurs

PASCAL LE SEGRETAIN/GETTY IMAGES

John Galliano has been convicted by a French court for statements disparaging Jews Analysis: Can the ex-Dior head continue his career?

6,000 euros — that’s the price disgraced fashion designer John Galliano will have to pay for antisemitic slurs uttered at the La Perle bar in Paris.

The court decided to “impose on him a penalty of a suspended fine, so the fine will not actually have to be paid,� his lawyer, Aurelien Hamelle, said on Thursday. The former creative director for the Dior fashion house will, however, have to pay a symbolic one-euro fine to each of the victims who have been insulted and to each of the five local associations that took civil action.

“An icon has been debunked, and it was all his fault,� reacted Yves Beddouk, attorney of one of the victims. “And that’s the real price for him.�

Hamelle thanked the court at the Palais de Justice. “The court here took into account ... the fact that he was sick at the time of the event of a triple addiction to alcohol. Now Mr. Galliano is ... looking forward to the future and hope that people will, with time, understand and forgive.�

AURÉLIE SARROT letters@metro.us

METRO WORLD NEWS IN PARIS

What’s next?

In fashion, timing is everything. So the irony is lost on no one that John Galliano’s guilty verdict for a series of racist rants was announced on the first day of the Spring/Summer ‘12 ready-to-wear shows.

This happened just days after Karl Lagerfeld endorsed Marc Jacobs as Galliano’s replacement at Dior in an exclusive interview with Metro. Clearly, fashion has moved on.

But the question is, will Galliano do the same? Judging

by the number of sympathetic stories about his downfall, the answer is yes.

He may never head another couture house, but the majority of the fashion world’s top editors, stylists and corporates will forgive him.

Many already have, coming to his defense with sound bites about how he isn’t normally an anti-Semite (is it possible to turn that on and off?)

And presumably, shoppers will pardon him too. His wedding dress for Kate Moss, featured in American Vogue, was a blogosphere hit. MWN/KH

MESSAGES OF REMEMBRANCE

Words matter Those of ordinary Americans have filled Metro’s pages as we mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks But at times of national crisis, it is often the words of our leaders that matter most Here, they reflect on a decade that changed America

ALEX WIGGLESWORTH awigglesworth@metro.us

FROM POLITICAL LEADERS

“[Sept. 11] is very complicated because it was the worst day in my life, worst day in the life of my city — to some extent, I imagine, the country or pretty close to the worst day for the country. And in some ways it was the greatest day, the most glorious day because of the display of bravery and fortitude and strength that people showed. ... Everyone remembers where they were when the

attack on the twin towers and on Washington and over the skies of Pa. happened. ... It is a defining event for us; and right now, as we enter into the second decade of the 21st century, it’s the most defining event — and it’s had tremendous implications for us, and it’s having implications for us that we still don’t quite understand.”

RUDOLPH GIULIANI, FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR

“I think no one has lost sight of fact this is the final resting place of 40 heroes, and they’ll be there forever. This is their sacred ground. ...

You never know when you’ll be called on to do an act of courage, but in the meantime, we can do little acts

“This Sunday, as we reflect back on the past, let us remember not only the agony and anguish of the attacks but how we channeled our pain into something positive and powerful. Let us remember not only the day that time stood still — but the decade we have spent recovering, rebuilding and renewing. Let us remember not only how the towers fell, but how we rose up – determined to defend our freedoms.

And let us remember that when we unite as Americans, and when we

put patriotism ahead of partisanship, there is no challenge that this country can’t meet. That – that is the ultimate lesson of our past decade.

And I believe the ultimate way we can honor those we lost is to apply that lesson to all the challenges our nation faces. So that the legacy of 9/11 will be felt not just here in Lower Manhattan but across each and every one of our 50 states for decades and centuries to come.”

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG

“As we approach the 10th anniversary of the Sept.

11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the safety and security of the American public remains our highest priority. While threats remain, our nation is stronger than it was on 9/11, more prepared to confront evolving threats and more resilient than ever before. ... Homeland security is a shared

every day. These passengers gave the last measure of their lives for people in Washington.

Continually and to this day, I will be always moved by what they did and their sacrifice.”

Mental health professionals are there for the second wave of trauma.

They are the ones who come in and help after we’ve gone home. They help with the problems that are not visible to the naked eye — suffered both by victims and first responders.

“S

ept. the 11 was a monumental day in our nation’s history.

It was a significant day and it obviously changed my presidency. I went from being a president that was primarily focused on domestic issues to a wartime president, something I never anticipated nor something I ever wanted to be. I had been notified that a plane hit the World Trade Center. At first I thought it was a light aircraft and my reaction was, man, either the weather was bad or something extraordinary happened to the pilot. I then informed some of

my staff members to provide help to New York City, whatever help they needed to take care of this incident and then walked into the classroom. The classroom was full of kids who were reading. And in the back of the classroom was a full press corps and staffers and some adults

and I’m intently listening to the lesson. And I felt a presence behind me. And Andy Cards’s Massachusetts accent was whispering in my ear, ‘A second plane has hit the second tower. America is under attack.’”

his Sept. 11, Michelle and I will join the commemorations at Ground Zero, in Shanksville and at the Pentagon. But even if you can’t be in New York, Pennsylvania or Virginia, every American can be part of this anniversary. Once again, 9/11 will be a National Day of Service and Remembrance. And in the days and weeks ahead, folks across the country – in all 50 states – will come together, in their communities and neighborhoods, to honor the victims of 9/11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity. ... Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.

On this 10th anniversary, we still face

great challenges as a nation. We’re emerging from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes.

We’re taking the fight to al-Qaeda, ending the war in Iraq and starting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan.

And we’re working to rebuild the foundation of our national strength here at home. None of this will be easy. And it can’t be the work of government alone. As we saw after 9/11, the strength of America has always been the character and compassion of our people. So as we mark this solemn anniversary, let’s summon that spirit once more. And let’s show that the sense of common purpose that we need in America doesn’t have to be a fleeting moment. It can be a lasting virtue — not just on one day, but every day.”

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

his anniversary offers us an opportunity to reflect the values of the God to whom we have given our allegiance.

Let us remember those who were lost and memorialize this day by committing our lives to ‘the things that make for peace’ — drawing closer to those who suffer, cultivating understanding in the midst of suspicion, finding truth in the arguments of those with whom we disagree, embracing some measure of personal sacrifice today to make a better world for our children and grandchildren tomorrow.

s the Tenth Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches, Jewish individuals and families will join others in various communal observances and memorials. The death and devastation of Sept. 11 impacted people of virtually every religious and ethnic background, and so it is certainly fitting that we come together across social divisions and join one another in remembering and affirming our kinship. ... On 9/11, the horrible attacks

not only took thousands of innocent lives but impacted millions of people. One cannot, in fact, begin to adequately quantify the fallout after the evil of that day — psychologically, spiritually, socially, economically, politically, etc. Life has continued — there have been joyous moments, creative achievements, scientific advances and so much more over this decade— but it is not wrong to reflect on the attacks on 9/11 as a hurban — a devastation — and to reach into our past for tools to approach the present.”

ing, which responds with gratitude to these alternatives. ... We testify to the world that we disown all wars and fighting with outward weapons for any cause whatsoever. These are never necessary. There are no “just wars.” Among the weapons we renounce are the tongue and the

pen, when these are used to provoke prejudice and hatred. Neither will we be silenced by fear when we are called to witness against evil masquerading as good. We seek to build a world in which a just peace is possible.” RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS), NEW YORK YEARLY MEETING

9/11: 10 YEARS LATER

‘Facing the horror directly gave us a common purpose’ Diana Ogilvie, a musician for the US Navy band based in Washington, DC gives an exclusive account to Metro of the birthday she will never forget ROBERT TURTIL/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

BY DIANA OGILVIE MUSICIAN FOR THE US NAVY BAND BASED IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

A view from the executive offices of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington D.C., shows the White House in the foreground and a cloud of smoke billowing from the Pentagon after it was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001.

I

awoke to a day like any other, save for the fact that it was my birthday. I left for work a little later than normal. In the car I nonchalantly tuned the radio to the station on which I depend to navigate my way through the notorious traffic of Washington, D.C. As I approached the city, the news flash of the crash at the first of the twin towers hit the airwaves. I immediately felt a sense of dread and thought it was a terrorist act even while the announcer called it a freak accident.

Subdued and anxious, I hurried to my military duty station in Washington and arrived shortly after the second strike. All entrances and exits to the base were sealed for security purposes soon after. My

co-workers and I could see smoke billowing in the distance from the direction of the U.S. Capitol building, and we heard reports of another incoming plane, but communication lines

were clogged and we weren’t able to send or receive calls.

Not long after, our commanding officer addressed the troops. He said that life as we had known it had been forever changed. Our nation would never be able to go back to the innocent times we had enjoyed before this day. Listening to him was a surreal experience, but facing the horror directly gave us a common purpose.

Eventually, the base was opened and personnel were allowed to go home.

Our family trickled home, changed people with no interest in celebrating birthdays, only shock at the events of the day. Seeking comfort that dark night, I walked outside and looked up into the eerily still and silent sky.

calls. “And then we realized that we might be next.” Rumors soon swirled that the White House and the State Department had been attacked. Government workers were soon told to go home as heavily armed police cordoned off the area, backed up by helicopters and armed vehicles. “It was frightening walking

past the White House, seeing people run out and people moving everyone,” says Payne.

This started his walk home — shared by tens of thousands of other Washington workers who had no other way of reaching their homes. “I stopped in [upscale neighborhood] Georgetown, where the bars were open. They were packed with people watching the news on TV.” Then, crossing over the bridge, he saw the smoke rising from the Pentagon. “9/11 was our Pearl Harbour moment,” he reflects. “We knew we had enemies and knew they could be unconventional, but who could have expected this?

We used to think we were insulated from violence.”

Your memories Some of the many messages readers posted to Metro’s 9/11 memorial site at 911.metro.us Troy Moslemi My son’s due date was on 9/11, and I was at a court hearing trying to get a case continued so I could attend the birth of my son. A few minutes before 9 a.m., I was listening to a Miami DJ talk about an “airplane accident” in New York, but I had to rush into the courthouse to be at the hearing on time.

Doug Scalise I remember visiting Ground Zero for the first time when I moved to NYC, a group broke out into the national anthem, and it really hit me how much this single event impacted all of us. It will continue to reverberate forever and we won’t forget those that were lost to this tragedy.

Mike Krohmaly [I] was sick that day laying in bed. Mother called me to turn on the news, at that moment the second plane crashed into the tower.

[I] continued to watch for several days. Just remember how close everyone became to each other during those weeks and months after. I live an hour west of Shanksville Pa., I remember hearing fighter jets scramble over my house on that night.

Will be a scar forever.

Luisa Caro-Taveras I can remember that morning, as if it were yesterday ... and the days that followed, how hope became despair and then hope again; when strangers became friendly faces and we all shared the same pain and the same strength. All those beautiful souls watch over us now.

Jill Perkins I remember I was only in eighth grade when it happened. I grew up in the aftermath of 9/11.

What an eerie day. I remember my dad told me on 9/11 “look at the TV screen ... because by the end of the week that image will be branded in there forever.” I can still close my eyes and picture it.

Jennifer Utterback I remember getting out of the shower and thinking that some “pilot” had made a terrible wrong decision. I still remember going to my office in Mexico and crying as I continued to watch the coverage with huge speculation and looking to make some sense out of the unthinkable. My heart went out and continues to go out to all of the families. The amazing display of courage and solidarity is the only lesson I can find in this great tragedy.

Annemarie Heeran Never Forget my brother Charles Frances Xavier Heeran (Tower 1, Cantor Fitzgerald.)

GOD BLESS all the 9/11 Families. I lost my brother when I was a junior in college ... hard to believe it will be 10 years! My wish is to have one more conversation with him to tell him I love him. I would never in my life think this would happen to my family. This has changed me so much.

W ‘The Fighter’ Part Deux “Warrior” Director: Gavin O’Connor Stars: Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy Rating: PG-13 Grade: Being billed as this year’s “The Fighter,” mixed martial arts drama “Warrior” pits estranged brothers against each other as they surge through the ranks of a multimillion-dollar fighting championship.

Though that sounds like an attempt at selling cinematic brutality to jacked-up MMA fans, director Gavin O’Connor (“Miracle”) spins a emotionally intense story that delves into family dysfunction and forgiveness despite its predictable arc and bloated running time. STEVE GOW

hile working for Steven Soderbergh is an easy choice for Matt Damon — the two have teamed up on the three “Oceans” movies, “Che” and “The Informant!” — the eclectic director’s pitch for their latest collaboration, “Contagion,” gave Damon pause. “He sent it over to me with a note saying, ‘Read this and then wash your hands,’” Damon remembers.

The warning was wellfounded, though, as “Contagion” covers some nerve-rattling subject matter: A new virus quickly spreads throughout the world, quickly becoming an epidemic, while scientists and doctors race to find a cure and governments work to keep society from falling apart. What surprised Soderbergh the most about the film was how easy it was to get made.

As for Soderbergh, working on “Contagion” certainly has made him much more aware of the microscopic dangers around him. “I don’t know if my behavior has changed. I’m just really aware of it now,” he says.

“I was handed some lip balm by one of the makeup people — which I took a Kleenex and cleaned off, but who knows if that worked. So don’t get near my mouth. Having gone through it, I’m always going to be conscious of it now.”

Following their bliss

ASGER CARLSEN

Brooklyn band takes a cue from Bowie to explore the place where pop and the avant-garde meet Don’t be deceived by the infectiously off-kilter pop melodies and bizarro-world Hall and Oates falsettos; there’s a lot more going on with NewVillager than meets the ear. The Brooklyn-based duo of Ross Simonini and Ben Bromley (along with newly added third member, Collin Palmer) expand beyond the boundaries of their self-titled art-synthpop debut to encompass art installations (recently curating the show “Temporary Culture” at L.A.’s Human Resources Gallery) and visually sumptuous videos.

“ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THE YEAR! RIVETING AND BRILLIANTLY EXECUTED.” Richard Roeper, REELZCHANNEL

If that’s not complicated enough, all of this work is tied together by the band’s self-created mythology, an ever-evolving grand idea that draws from influences as diverse as Joseph Campbell and Michael Jackson.

“In the same way that music has sonata form and

painting has a landscape form, there’s a recurring mythology form that everything from ancient Hindu mythology to ‘The Princess Bride’ follows,” according to Simonini. “We eventually came to our own manifestation of the form that can connect everything that we do, even if it’s very different on the surface.”

These sorts of big ideas more frequently turn up in experimental art circles, but Simonini and Bromley

knew from the moment they began working together in 2006 that they wanted to express themselves through pop music.

“People like David Bowie have connected these avant-garde ideas to pop music before,” Simonini says, “but not many artists are working on this level. It was interesting to approach some of these ideas and connect them with music that is immediately, palpably satisfying.” SHAUN BRADY

When the sitar met the saxophone BURG LINN

Armed with tabla rhythms, jazz artist Dan Weiss continues to incorporate Indian music into the genre Ever since John Coltrane heard Ravi Shankar and began incorporating the sitar master’s concepts into his own sound, Indian music has maintained a steady influence on jazz. Drummer Dan Weiss works that influence into his repertoire in a wholly unique fashion, however, taking on the challenge of transcribing compositions for tabla — the Indian hand drums — onto a full drum kit.

“I try to get the flavor of the composition while maintaining a jazz sound,” Weiss says. “I’ve tried to create a different language for “The study of tabla and Northern Indian classical music has influenced my approach when I play in any kind of situation,” says Weiss.

myself that would enable me to improvise and feel sound and rhythm in a different way.”

A rising star on the modern jazz scene, Weiss has played with the Village Vanguard Orchestra, legendary saxophonist Lee Konitz and Ravi Coltrane (John’s son) along with many of his

most innovative peers.

Since 1998, he’s studied with Indian tabla virtuoso Pandit Samir Chatterjee, whose influence, Weiss says, has been “vast, to say the least. It shaped a lot of who I am as a musician.”

A Social Scene that’s anything but Broken Lifetime membership Peroff recounts with a laugh that in the early years of the band, one member wanted to actually quit: “We were like, ‘Dude, what are you talking about? You don’t have to quit. You can always come back.’ We’re like, ‘You do your thing. Give us a call. We’ll be right here.’�

T

en years after the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, a slew of books based on the attacks, the aftermath and our slow recovery has “The Legacy Letters” Brian Curtis From the nonprofit organization Tuesday’s Children comes a collection of letters that are simply poignant and deeply personal. These letters are written by family members of those

From analytical essays debunking some 9/11 myths to intimate letters showcasing the collective experience of the surkilled on 9/11, as they share their lives and experiences since that tragic day when their loved ones were taken away from them. A decade has passed, but the love, longing and memories swathed within these words are still as strong as they can be, and these letter-writers have shown us how they have not just “moved on, but moved forward” as well.

NICHOLAS LIM letters@metro.us

Michael Benfante unknowingly became a hero when he carried a wheelchair-bound woman from the 68th floor to the ambulance. His heroic act became a household story, but Benfante is telling his own narrative, and it is one that is intimate, conflicted and astonishingly honest.

“Project Rebirth” Dr. Robin Stern and Courtney E. Martin Written in conjunction with the documentary “Rebirth,” this work continues to explore the lives of survivors in the days following the tragedy.

Combining the experience of Stern as a psychoanalyst and the journalistic expertise of Martin, “Project Rebirth” examines the haunting and crippling effect of the aftermath and the eventual journey toward healing. The book features eight compelling profiles that remind us of the human capacity for recovery and how these individuals mustered the courage to carry on.

It’s easier than pie What do you do with a kitchen full of orphaned apples that you’re strangely attached to? Break out the loaf pans and cinnamon — it’s apple bread season TENAYA DARLINGTON ROCKS

Apples, welcome to the afterlife.

It began as a simple, earnest project — most projects that involve pies probably do — on the weird and windy day after Irene blew through Philadelphia. We would use all of the apples from the downed tree in my parents’ backyard because, even though they weren’t the prettiest or even tastiest apples, she had been a good, shady tree and a friend to many birds, squirrels and children in need

of a hiding spot. Pies seemed to be the only proper burial, and intricate woven crusts the only appropriate topping.

A few days and too damn many pies later, the apple tree was back to being just a tree (a rather wimpy tree with truly unimpressive fruit), and we were in need of applegobbling, low-fuss, counter-clearing recipes.

This quick bread turned out to be the an-

swer. It mixes up in one big bowl, freezes well and is very forgiving of swaps, add-ins, extra apples and overcooking.

If you can’t find pockmarked, ungrateful little apples from Northeast Philly, any tart baking apples — or whatever variety you haul home from a fall orchard trip — should do just fine.

How to make it:

Put everything in a large mixing bowl.

Mix. Now really mix — get your hands in it.

Once the dough comes together (it should be dry-ish), divide it into two very well-greased (or else!) loaf pans and pop those into a 350degree oven. Bake for 45 minutes without peeking, and then let sit for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Can a bowl of peanuts be terrifying?

In the case of “Contagion,” absolutely. Early on in the thriller, when you know Gwyneth Paltrow’s character is infected with a deadly, contagious disease that she’s about to unknowingly unleash onto the world at large — and then director Steven Soderbergh shows her reaching into a bowl of bar peanuts at a Hong Kong casino before boarding a flight — you think about trading in your first born for a squirt of Purell.

Oh God, no Gwyneth, don’t blow on the dice! Not the dice!

Soderbergh’s direction is slick and horrifying, and his use of a ticking outbreak clock, global population figures and the best-ofthe-best cast (Matt Damon doing a convincing suburban dad impression in Minneapolis, Marion Cotillard at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Jude Law as a conspiracy theorist in San Francisco and Laurence Fishburne at the CDC in Atlanta, among others) keeps

up the energy.

But because everything is so global in scope, he can’t cram everything he needs to within the twoand-a-half-hour running time; needed details toward the end are swept over, and the movie peters out along with the virus.

But that bowl of peanuts? Some of the best work from a legume since Mr. Peanut donned a top hat. DOROTHY ROBINSON

THE WORD

Metro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip

@dorothyatmetro

Tale of the fighting ovaries

N

ow that the Reality TV Wedding of the Century™ is over, what kind of drama will the Kardashians think up next? No, not trying to see who can do the most community service, or fighting over who can leave the smallest carbon footprint — that would be crazy! Instead, it looks like sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian are involved in a “fertility battle.” Because, really, why wouldn’t their ovaries be dueling?

Yes, a “pal” tells Us Weekly: “Khloe is having major problems getting pregnant.” A “show insider” echoes this by saying, “If Kim were to get pregnant first, that would cause tension, because it would highlight Khloe’s struggle.” Yet another friend says, “There is some

friction now because Khloe knows [Kim’s pregnancy] is the next step, and she feels terrible she can’t get pregnant herself.

The competition has really got her depressed.”

Yeah, I’d be depressed if all of my “pals” and “friends” called up tabloids to squeal on my “fertility” issues, too. But really, I hope they both have happy, beautiful babies. And then they create a line of Dash diapers, which, of course, will come bedazzled.

Hudson’s sell-out dad Bill Hudson, Goldie Hawn’s ex-husband and Kate Hudson’s estranged

father, has some stories in his new book, “2 Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family” — and chances are Kate won’t be too thrilled about them. “She has done stuff which is just awful,” Bill writes, according to Radar Online. “She is a spoiled brat in my eyes.” He claims Kate hasn’t been in touch with her grandmother, who is battling Alzheimer’s.

“Kate doesn’t have to give her a dime. All I want is for her to call and say, ‘hi grandma,’ before it’s too late,” he writes. In her defense, maybe Kate did call and grandma just forgot.

We’re human beings, and sometimes you make choices that other people are going to judge. That’s their problem, but I think that the more I love my life, the more I learn not to judge people for what they do. I think we’re all trying our best, but life is complicated.”

“AUGUST: NO U.S. TROOP DEATHS IN IRAQ”, UPI.COM, SEPT. 1. The United States in-

Eight years later, we have experienced the first postinvasion month in which no U.S. military personnel were killed.

Mission accomplished?

By now most Americans have accepted the fact that we were lied into a selfdestructive war — a war that has not only failed to achieve our strategic goals but which has also left us less secure, less prosperous and less free than before it began. Yes, most people know this intellectually, but — as we enter another no doubt vicious and protracted election cycle — it bears repeating.

Why: Handing the keys — and headset — of the defense to an untested rookie is a bold move, especially on a unit with at least six new starters. We know Matthews possesses the pedigree — well-documented, by now — but he was often gobbled up by blockers in the preseason.

Jim Washburn’s “widenine” technique will put the onus on Matthews to stop teams from the dinkand-dunk.

Why: The challenge here is to simply get DRC on the field — in some capacity.

He is the quickest of the Eagles’ trio of cornerbacks and flashed his athleticism by blocking a field goal two weeks ago. He and Nnamdi Asomugha were often swapped in the slot on nickel looks, which seemed to confuse the opposition.

Rodgers-Cromartie has the potential to be a gamechanger, but he’ll have to take advantage of snaps.

Why: It isn’t a given that Herremans will succeed here. He hasn’t played much tackle since college, but the coaching staff is banking on his high football IQ and supreme athleticism. Besides, they were out of options with the injury to Ryan Harris and sloppy play of King Dunlap, and they desperately needed a steady vet to protect Mike Vick’s $100 million blind side.

OK, fine. But the coaches also put the weight of the “Dream Team” on Kelce’s slight — for a lineman anyway — frame.

We’ll know if Kelce can handle it after the first two games, both in obnoxiously loud domes. METRO

wall. Of course, that has been his MO in recent years. Since 2007, Parker has 24 sacks, but 19 of those have come on or before Nov. 15. There are plenty of snaps to go around in Juan Castillo’s scheme, with its frequent shuffling of defensive ends, and that should keep the elder statesman fresh.

#1 DAILY NEWSPAPER IN CENTER CITY

www.metro.us WEEKEND, SEPTEMBER 9-11, 2011

GETTY IMAGES

Changes, changes and more changes Question marks linger with linebackers, safeties Castillo not worried, feels defense is ready to go

Coleman is one of six new starters on defense.

Six new starters. A rookie in the middle. And a novice calling the shots.

This is the 2011 Eagles’ defense.

Coming off the shortest offseason in NFL history, the Birds have a great deal of unknowns on both sides of the football. But trying to gauge the new-look defense might be one of the hardest to figure out.

Former offensive line coach Juan Castillo is the new defensive coordinator.

He’ll start a rookie MLB, Casey Matthews, and will pair a journeyman strong safety, Jarrad Page, with second-year free safety Kurt Coleman.

Some would be worried.

On TV Sunday Eagles at Rams, 1 p.m. (FOX)

Some aren’t Castillo. The coach said he worries more about his two sons doing well in college than he does about calling his first defensive game.

“If you have kids, you understand it,” Castillo said. “Really, my goal, and I’ve said it before, is that this is the first step in the process of what we’re trying to do here, which is to bring a championship to Philadelphia.”

The first stop on that Super Bowl tour bullrushes through St. Louis, a team

on the rise. The Rams boast the reigning rookie offensive player of the year, in quarterback Sam Bradford, and an elite rusher in Steven Jackson.

“For anybody, I think the first thing you want to do is stop the run,” Castillo said.

The way Castillo sees it — in a shortened season — it might all come down to conditioning.

“The teams that are in the best condition are the one who will be able to win games,” Castillo said.

“At least in the first three or four weeks, until everyone is able to get even as far as being in shape.”

Metro’s NFL Power Rankings 7 Green Bay retains the top spot Eagles in at No. 7 Can Falcons live up to hype? How about Patriots?

1

PACKERS (10-6 LAST YEAR) They bring back the NFL’s best quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, its top defensive star, Clay Matthews — and get all-world tight end Jermichael Finley back. It’s tough to repeat in this league, but the Packers’ stability will carry them far in this shortened season.

2

PATRIOTS (14-2) Tom Brady and Co. are going to score a ton of points, especially with the addition of Chad Ochocinco. That’s the easy part. If Bill Belichick can unlock Albert Haynesworth’s enormous potential, the Pats could be hoisting their first Lombardi since 2004.

3

FALCONS (13-3) Most talented team ON PAPER. Atlanta upgraded its pass rush and O-line, and drafted a shiny new toy (Julio Jones) for Matt Ryan to play with.

They also will get slot receiver Harry Douglas for a full season.

Now, Ryan must prove he can win a playoff game.

4

CHARGERS (9-7) Philip Rivers looked like an MVP candidate in the preseason, with the attitude to match. With better special teams play, the Bolts are a legit contender.

5

STEELERS (12-4) Did little to fix a secondary that got torched in the Bowl. Still, they return 20 starters from a team that came one drive short.

6

JETS (11-5) Rex Ryan guaranteed a Super Bowl victory at the NFL combine. Love or hate Ryan’s bravado, guys like playing for him, and his teams always contend. This year will be no different. It’s on Mark Sanchez to take the next step.

WWW.METRO.US FOR MIKE GREGER’S FULL POWER RANKINGS

EAGLES (10-6) Mike Vick and the Dream Team. That spells championship, right? Maybe.

But the Eagles have six new starters on defense, a new coaching staff and an untested O-line. This is either going to be Andy Reid’s greatest or worst coaching job yet.

8

SAINTS (11-5) Even with Drew Brees chucking a career-worst 22 interceptions, Who Dat Nation was still dangerous last season. With the addition of thunder-and-lightning duo Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram, watch out.
