Banner calls for Paterno statue to fall Debate reached a fever pitch yesterday over whether to remove the 7-foot statue of Joe Paterno outside Beaver Stadium at Penn State that hails him as the winner of more games than any other coach in the history of major college football. “Take the statue down or we will,” read a banner trailed by a small plane buzzing over State College, Pa.

Cursed lot finds life PROVIDED BY TOLL BROS.

Site of former Stamper Square proposal given another chance by Toll Bros. Company is planning 69-unit project for Society Hill For years, developers have come to Society Hill residents with proposed high-rise buildings for the former NewMarket site that were about as palatable as shoe leather.

One by one, each of the developers — including actor and Philadelphia native Will Smith — have eventually given up, either after being rejected by neighbors or unfriendly credit markets. But a proposal by luxury home builder Toll Bros. for mid-rise condominiums appears to have the best chance yet of becoming a reality.

The company made an informational presentation yesterday to the city Planning Commission on their plans for a four-story, 69-unit building.

The property, which stretches from Front to Second Street and from Pine Street to Lombard, would feature a public promenade, green space and 108 underground parking spaces.

None of the residents in attendance voiced opposition.

“The one thing that we knew is we’re not going to force something down the neighbors’ throats if they don’t want it, so we came to them with our ‘A’ game,” Brian Emmons, vice president of Toll Bros.’ local office, said after the meeting.

“We put together a project we thought we could sell at this location that was not go-

ing to be a high-rise, and we think there’s value in not being a high-rise.”

The previous proposal, Stamper Square, was for a 15story hotel and condo project, but fizzled out due to finances. Toll swooped in and bought the property last year.

Steve Weixler, president of the Society Hill Civic Association, said the Toll project is the closest they’ve come to real development at the site, which some say is cursed.

“I’m really optimistic that Toll will be able to develop a design that really fits into the neighborhood a lot better than anything we’ve seen so far,” Weixler said, noting that the group has not formally voted on the project yet.

“It’s been a tough battle. A historic district really throws in a lot of complications to development.”

City fire union sues City Hall over contract Simmering tension between the city’s firefighter and paramedics union and Mayor Michael Nutter’s administration boiled over yesterday as Local 22 leaders announced they filed a lawsuit against the city in an attempt to force it to uphold contract terms recently awarded to the union by an arbitrator.

“Throughout the past four years, the firefighters and paramedics have accepted increased risks resulting from staffing cuts, station closings and brownouts, as well as a declining standard of living due to four years without a raise,” union president Bill Gault said.

“In return, all we ask for is a fair shake. We’re still waiting. We’re not willing to wait anymore.”

As city firefighters and police officers cannot strike due to public safety reasons, they turn contract disputes over to a neutral third-party arbitrator, who makes a binding legal decision.

“It seems to me patently unfair that the city go into this process, a legal binding 42-year-old law, and simply say, ‘We don’t like the out-

Many appeals The union claims Nutter is skirting this process by continuing to appeal the arbitrator’s findings rather than abiding by them.

The administration last appealed Local 22’s contract — slated to go into effect July 2009 — two years ago.

They claimed city could not afford the 9 percent pay increase awarded firefighters.

A judge sent contract back to arbitration, which two weeks ago upheld its terms.

come so we’re going to appeal,’” said International Association of Firefighters President Harold Schaitberger.

Nutter’s spokesman Mark McDonald stressed the administration still has two weeks to respond.

“We are looking at what’s contained in the arbitration and reviewing our options and we will respond within the time frame,” he said.

Movie festival film about jazz bassist hits close to home Incredible journey of transgender musician from Upper Merion featured Qfest in full swing this week When filmmaker Andrea Meyerson discovered Jennifer Leitham performing at L.A. Women’s Fest, she was inspired to make a short film.

But before their first interview was over, Meyerson knew the short would become a fulllength documentary.

The story was just too fascinating to resist: A. Leitham is a legendary jazz musician, a former go-to straight-ahead bassist for the likes of Mel Torme and Doc Severinsen.

And B. Jennifer Leitham was John Leitham until a sex-reassignment surgery in 2001.

“I would have preferred that the focus be on my career. But, you know, I understand why people are interested in my personal story — and I understand a lot more when I watch the ďŹ nished product."

LEITHAM

After five years of production, Leitham’s story is finally being told in “I Stand Corrected,� making its Philadelphia premiere Thursday at QFest. “I wanted to tell a story about a musician who happens to be transgender. I didn’t want to tell a story about a transgender person who happens to be a musician,� says Meyerson, just before the L.A. premiere of “Corrected� earlier this week. “Every film I’ve seen about transgender people has always been about the transition.

don’t sneeze when the media shines a light on you. You need to reach people.

NCAA retains death penalty option for Penn State season PATRICK SMITH/GETTY IMAGES

The head of the NCAA, which governs U.S. college sport, said the Penn State sex abuse scandal involving a former football coach was so egregious that he would not rule out applying the so-called “death penalty� to the university, which would cancel an entire football season.

In his first public comments since the Freeh report, NCAA President Mark Emmert said the systematic sexual abuse of young boys by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was “unprecedented� in college sports.

Asked in an interview on the PBS Tavis Smiley show Monday night about the death penalty, Emmert said: “I don’t want to take anything off the table. The fact is this is completely different than ... anything else we have dealt with.� “I don’t know that past precedent makes particularly good sense in this case,� Emmert said.

Once Penn State responds to the NCAA’s letter, the organization will decide whether to press charges against the college.

The NCAA is considering sanctions against the Pennsylvania college. The NCAA last November sent a letter asking the university to defend its actions. After release of the Freeh report, the NCAA said in a brief statement that it was awaiting a response from Penn State.

College football is a huge

generator of money for major universities in the United States because of large television contracts and millions of fans attending games every Saturday in the fall.

Critics have questioned whether the NCAA would apply harsh penalties to Penn State, which Forbes magazine rates as

Sarah Silverman has a proposition to make ALL PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES

Plenty of celebrities are hosting fundraising events for the Obama campaign, from Sarah Jessica Parker’s swanky A-list party at her New York City apartment to Gwen Stefani’s upcoming family picnic in Los Angeles. But only Sarah Silverman has offered sexual favors in exchange for campaign contributions.

In a short video titled “An Indecent Proposal,” Silverman — in her trademark cerealstained hoodie and last-night’s ponytail — attempts to persuade billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson to cancel his $100 million check to Mitt Romney.

“If you give that $100 million to Obama instead of Romney, I will — well, I won’t have sex with you because we’re not married and I’m a nice girl, but I will ‘scissor’ you wearing a bikini bottom through to fruition,” she says. “You’ll be the only elderly billionaire on

Demi, teenage girls will abandon you for premium cable and Pop-Tarts, let alone Ashton Kutcher’s abs. Those things seriously look like chiseled sunshine. Date wisely next time, lady!

In a new interview with GQ, “Dark Knight Rises” star Joseph Gordon-Levitt admits that he was turning into a “hopeless ivory tower douchebag” and was once “sort of a serious little dude — snobby.”

Now, he has a better handle on fame, if not an appreciation of it.

“I really don’t like this notion that some people are more important than other people,” he says. “These stories about these elevated people called ‘celebrities’ teaches you that what you have to say doesn’t matter.

It’s degrading.”

Well now, Joseph, this is awkward, isn’t it?

According to writer, creator and “Avengers� director Joss Whedon, The CW has picked up the three-part musical tragicomedy starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day. Whedon made the announcement toward the end of a Comic-Con panel for Dark Horse Comics (with which he has collaborated on a number of Dr. Horrible titles). The program will air on the network sometime in 2013. There’s no news yet on the exact day or time slot — or if Whedon and company will film new material for the premiere.

Whedon recently revealed that a “bunch of songs� are already written for the next iteration of the “Sing-Along Blog.� It’s just a matter of finding the time to make those songs part of a full-fledged production.

“They can also cause new problems like Achilles tendonitis, especially for women going from high heels to flat flipflops. The tendon doesn’t have time to adjust.”

SOUTH JERSEY - PHILADELPHIA

“It’s interesting: In cultures where no one wears shoes, there are no foot problems.”

DR. ZONG

Flip-flops don’t offer protection against puncture wounds, which can cause blood poisoning and, in rare cases where they’re not treated, can be fatal.

“The thin pancake soles are the problem,” says Dr. Zong.

“It’s better to choose a wedge type with arch support.”

Summer’s plus side for feet is that we actually see them naked and can identify possible problems.

“Look at your feet,” Dr. Zong

DESIGN PICS

We know, we know — flip-flops are so darn comfortable.

But they’re really not doing your feet any favors.

advises. “Check for melanoma.

Look for hyperpigmentation, any brownish-blackish marks with jagged edges. If it’s bigger than a pencil eraser, get it checked. And always use sunscreen on your feet.”

If you’re one of many women (and men) who like to primp their tootsies with a pedicure, know how to stay safe in the chair. Dr. Zong advises common sense. “The danger is spreading toe fungus, which is very difficult to treat.

Choose a reputable place. If you’re unsure whether they have sanitized equipment, ask — or take your own pedicure set along.”

LINDA CLARKE letters@metro.us

The greater the pain, the more you can gain Recent research from the Institute for Preventive Foot Health has linked painful foot problems such as ankle sprains, blisters, calluses and athlete’s foot to obesity.

“People who have foot pain are less likely to be active and that can lead to weight gain and then other health problems,” says Dr. Zong.

“Most foot problems are caused by friction from shoes. Wearing wider shoes is one option. Athlete’s foot and other fungal conditions are [treatable].”

Zimmerman denied a fair hearing?

As I read the news story on an accusation of molestation by a female relative of George Zimmerman, I only wondered how this information plays any role in court when Zimmerman goes on trial for second-degree murder in the Trayvon Martin case? The judge in the case ordered a March 20 interview with the alleged victim with investigators released under Florida’s public records law. I would agree with Zimmerman’s lawyer who said this tape was both irrelevant and prejudicial to his client. Zimmerman is on trial in the killing of Martin, he is not on trial for sex abuse charges. Law enforcement should deal with that case separately. Whatever your

opinion is on Zimmerman the night he killed Trayvon Martin, he will go on trial and be judged by a jury. He is still innocent until proven guilty as he is in this newest abuse charge. The media needs to stop beating up on Zimmerman, no matter what anyone’s opinion of him is.

We are a nation of laws and a system in place to judge lawbreakers. Use it, not the media, to try someone.

Paterno family should be prepared An answer for Adelaide Verponi: cover-up! Sandusky may have been the predator, but Paterno and the university deliberately concealed his crimes for decades.

Doubtless there a great many

of Sandusky’s victims still out there, unable or unwilling to speak. Let’s hope they find some peace now that it’s finally in the open. As for Paterno’s family launching their own probe, I hope they’re prepared for what they find. It’s not likely to be pretty.

abuser is an esteemed and trusted figure like “Coach.”

And for another, if the boys couldn’t discuss it with their parents, why on Earth would they go to the police — who would then tell their parents?

JOSEPH CONNELL, VIA E-MAIL

Why didn’t any of Sandusky’s victims tell their parents?

Because people are scared to take down people who are in higher position. However, it does show how sick our society really has become.

The same quagmire besets Occupy movements today.

Until they realize that they are the carriers of sin by your fore fathers, they will never understand why white middle class young people are jerked as minorities have always been jerked before them. Sin is always passed down when it isn’t dealt with from the beginning. Your forefathers jerked minorities, and now it’s your turn.

I cannot believe the clueless person who actually questioned why the boys abused by Sandusky didn’t tell their parents or the police! For one thing, abuse victims are often so ashamed that they won’t tell ANYONE. For another, their claims are often not believed, especially if the

bad — not him or her.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19.

Before establishing a big objective, be sure it’s truly worthy of the trouble it might take to achieve it and not something that you won't appreciate once you get it.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. Your manner of expression could make a much stronger impression than you are likely to intend. Thus, be sure that what you say enhances your image, not damages it.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. Being a bit of a risk taker, you could easily jump into something that is financially way over your head. Be particularly wary of anything that seems too good to be true.

Aries March 21-April 19. Think twice before pulling the rug out from under a direct competitor.

The consequences of your actions could take you down along with him or her.

Taurus April 20-May 20. Instead of vowing to eventually correct a mistake you made, take action the moment you realize your gaffe. The longer you wait, the worse it'll get.

Gemini May 21-June 20. There’s a chance you could get caught in a situation in which the position you want to take opposes the will of the majority. Don’t try to fight city hall on your own. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Cancer June 21-July 22. If you’re not careful, a domestic confrontation over a minor infraction could overwhelm the household. Even though the issue is petty.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Although normally you’re pretty good about keeping your temper in check, if you’re not careful you could spontaneously overreact should your views or opinions be challenged.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Hanging around with friends who are notoriously extravagant or reckless with their funds opens up the possibility of you following their lead.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. If you’re at odds with your mate over something trivial, make sure you resolve it before going out with friends.

You won’t want trouble when you’re trying to have a good time.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Be exceptionally careful if you have to work with tools or materials with which you’re unfamiliar. You might have to keep a close eye on a helper who could be inexperienced.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. When out with friends, be on your best behavior if you find someone in the group to be brash or rude. If you respond in kind, you will look

Sixers setting up for superstar run

3

Recent signings keep team cap friendly Brown, Wright, Young add flexibility No ugly contracts When the NBA’s hot stove got cooking over the last couple weeks, the Eastern Conference was active.

The Nets added Joe Johnson, the Heat signed Ray Allen, the Knicks lured Jason Kidd and the Celtics sprung for Jason Terry. The Sixers?

Meet Kwame Brown, Nick Young and Dorrell Wright. Say goodbye to Elton Brand, Lou Williams and Jodie Meeks.

“We had a plan,” coach

Doug Collins said. “They weren’t necessarily going to be home runs, but they were going to be guys that added exactly what we needed.”

The Sixers think they got better with the moves, but realistically any improvement in talent is marginal. The real key to the 2012-13 roster is the sudden salary cap flexibility.

Brown was signed to a twoyear pact, Young to a one-year contract and Wright’s deal ex-

FAIRLESS MOTORS

pires after this year. In the summer of 2014, Andre Iguodala and Spencer Hawes will be unrestricted free agents.

For the first time in a decade, the Sixers aren’t saddled with a fistful of ugly contracts.

“The big thing about it is that you don’t want to get locked into contracts that you have no chance to get better,” Collins said. “That’s one of the things we want to stay away from.”

Dorrell Wright’s contract expires after this season.

By avoiding those nightmare contracts, the Sixers are setting themselves up for another run at a superstar free agent. The $80-million Brand signing in 2008 proved to be an unmitigated disaster, culminating with the Sixers paying $16 million for him to play

in Dallas this season.

That was strike one. The new plan has the Sixers developing young talent while setting themselves up for another big swing.

Papelbon as advertised, but what about the rest of the bullpen? Phillies still searching for answers

GETTY IMAGES

When Phillies fans reminisce about the 2008 World Series, the “Bridge to Lidge,� aka Ryan Madson, is remembered fondly.

Madson and Lidge departed after a devastating loss in Game 5 of the NLDS. Jonathan Papelbon closes for the Phillies these days. The fiery right-hander has been good enough to earn an invitation to the All-Star Game. However, not one Phillies reliever has covered the “Gap to Pap.� “That’s the biggest reason why the Phillies are in the spot they’re in,� an NL scout said. “They’ve blown so many games in the seventh and eighth inning.�

That’s been the difference between last and second place for the Phillies. Antonio Bastardo has been a huge disappointment as a setup man after having a great 2011 season.

Michael Stutes and Jose Contreras are out with injuries.

Chad Qualls was a total bust.

So it’s up to the Phillies’ core of young pitchers to bridge the gap until — or if GM Ruben Amaro Jr. makes a trade. “I’m doing my best out there,� rookie Jake Diekman said. “I know what we have to do. We have to get [Papelbon] the ball.�

Diekman has pitched well in spots, but he’s also lost his control in key situations. The Phillies need to upgrade the setup man. Will they do so? “If they have any hope at making a run at the second wild card, they have to trade for a solid reliever,� an NL Scout said.

There are some interesting names out there. Jonathan Broxton has pitched well of late for Kansas City. J.J. Putz has been respectable for the Diamondbacks. Rafael Betancourt is pitching well at the ripe old age of 37 for the Rockies. And then there is Astros closer Brett Myers? Could the Phillies bring back Myers to fill the “Gap to Pap� and salvage the season? Stay tuned.

partment-finder service Urban Igloo just opened a Philly branch at 20th and Walnut streets in Center City. The company, which started in D.C. three years ago, calls itself a “matchmaker for renters and landlords.”

“A lot of people just don’t have time to deal with finding an apartment, and don’t want to get frustrated dealing with Craigslist and search engines,” says Debbie Kaplan, Urban Igloo’s chief operating officer.

“And our service is free, so why not?”

Urban Igloo picked Philadelphia as its next location because of the city’s large transient student population and strong rental market, Kaplan says. Those sick of search engines can sit down with an Urban Igloo leasing agent, list

New to the city? Hop on in New to Philly? Urban Igloo offers half-day tours of the city for $289. Sign up and one of the leasing agents will ferry you around town in the bright-blue Urban Igloo car to help you narrow down where to live. “It’s for a renter who doesn’t know anything about the city and just wants to get a feel for the different neighborhoods,” says Kaplan. “We’ll show them the local grocery stores, bars, yoga studio — whatever they want.”

their requirements and get taken on a guided tour of available apartments that fit the bill.

There’s no charge for renters; when a lease is signed, Urban Igloo gets the equivalent of one month’s rent from the landlord.

The company has a growing inventory of apartments in the city and immediate suburbs, mostly in smallish buildings in the 20-unit range that don’t have their own leasing staff.

“The first step is really culling down what the renter is looking for,” Kaplan says. “The agent has to understand what is a must-have and what would be nice to have. Then they can navigate the renter though the process, which can be very, very stressful otherwise.”
