To the Editor: I feel very distressed over the controversial opinions with law enforcement and its negativity. The real issue lies with the fact that sides have been taken, and the law seems to be on the losing end. Of course there are circumstances that need to be taken into consideration, as every situation is different. I know there have there been instances where extreme force was used unnecessarily, and this is why wearing body cameras may be the solution; no one can deny what is on video. However, police officers have become sitting ducks, waiting for their next attack and then being persecuted for acting on a criminality in the way that they were trained. Maybe the latest killing sprees have made cops feel more exposed and vulnerable with good reason. There does not seem to be any respect for authority and human life, yet when the perpetrator is killed in the crossfire, they are considered victims. There are always two sides to every story, but the truth must be told or there will be hell to pay, and we are certainly feeling

the repercussions of the lies. I personally feel that if you are not committing a crime or trying to attack an officer, you will not be shot. I do not see cops walking down the street randomly shooting people. These were acts of violence, and they needed to be addressed so that we, the upstanding citizens, can feel safe and protected. We live in a world where there is no such thing as being overly cautious, so I, for one, am very grateful to know that there are many watching over us because if not for this protection, we would all become victims.

There was Santa holding a cup, with a cute little wink, a face full of cheer. I filled up his cup, he drank it all down. I said to myself, is this guy a clown? We drank till there wasn’t any more. Asked Santa to go to the store. Gave him money to buy more suds. I didn’t care, Pabst or Bud. Later, a police man appeared with a sigh, Saying Santa was charged with a D.U.I.

I just have to know and truly understand because even though I am fairly intelligent, I just don’t understand the grasp of this hatred. What have we done in other parts of the world that has brought what

has and is being slung at us? Is there even the remotest possibility those who have so deadly turned against us, will tell us plainly but completely what it is that brought on what has been going on for a long time? Can they truly tell us what they want or what they don’t want in order to instill peace, understanding and tranquility for them and us? I know in my heart we are not and cannot be blameless. Something surely stinks to high heaven, and I need to understand so I can lean in the right direction. The proclivity of acquiring nuclear weaponry has reached a point like buying a can of soda. These people do not possess the sophistication to realize using them would lead to the complete destruction of their country and others. Before that comes about, we still have the ability to sit down to discuss and detail our differences instead of playing the role of school bullies and daring each other to knock the stick off each other’s shoulder. The payoff is just in the wings to bring us all back to the very beginning and maybe finally to get it right this time. This could be our last chance to remain on this heavenly body we have turned into a hell on Earth. 4`O\Y 1OdOZZO`] A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

n Friday, the FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department released the image of a man sought for a trio of bank robberies committed last month. His most recent heist occurred Dec. 22 when he entered Prudential Savings Bank, 1722 S. Broad St., and handed the teller a note. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled on foot. The incident mirrors the suspect’s other crimes committed Dec. 18 at a Chestnut Hill Valley Green Bank and Dec. 15 at a Center City PNC Bank. Authorities are also seeking him for a Dec. 11 attempted robbery at a Center City Beneficial Bank. Authorities noted the public should consider the individual armed and dangerous. To report information, call the FBI at 215-418-4000, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms. The department noted it might give a reward for information leading to his arrest.

Authorities arrested two youths for their alleged involvement in three matters last month. In the first, officers responded to a radio call of a robbery in progress at Susan’s Grocery, 1501 S. 13th St, at 6:45 p.m. Dec. 23, and met with the complainant, who stated he had been working behind the counter when two unknown black males

entered the store, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first offender supposedly walked toward the counter and pulled out a black handgun while the second stayed at the front. The primary aggressor allegedly pointed the weapon at an employee, barking “Give me the money.� He then reportedly aimed the gun at the complainant, approached the counter and tossed a black backpack to the complainant, who put approximately $500 inside. Authorities also suspect the first youth for a 2:20 p.m. Christmas Day matter at Joe’s Food Market II, 1900 E. Passyunk Ave. In that situation, the complainant told them an unknown black male came into his store and threw a black backpack onto the floor. Producing a large handgun, he demanded cash but the owner refused and reached under the counter, leading the offender to flee without receiving anything. In the final matter, at approximately 8:30 p.m. Christmas Day, two unknown black males entered New Matt’s Market, 1427 S. Sixth St., and demanded money from the store owner. The males gave the complainant a white plastic shopping bag, which he filled with $300. After their images appeared online, a tipster contacted detectives and reported they are registrants at Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., Tolliver said. Based on the information and video evidence, authorities prepared photo arrays, leading to the suspects’ identification. Police arrested them on Sunday, charging the minors with criminal conspiracy, firearms violations, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, theft, robbery and simple assault

/ `]bbS\ a]ZS The Philadelphia Police Department is looking for help in collaring a man who accosted two girls on Christmas Day. At 3 p.m., the minors were riding bicycles in the parking lot on Fourth Street and Oregon Avenue when an unknown male approached them. He offered them $20 to photograph their feet for inclusion in a foot collage. They described the figure as white and in his 30s; having brown hair fashioned in a mullet and a thin brown beard; wearing a blue and gray hoodie, gray jeans and red and white sneakers; and carrying a blue duffel bag.

The CAGP led a youth-coordinated program, inspired by their Teens Organizing Proactivity (TOP) program, to instill proactive change for the better within their communities, right in line the legacy of Dr. King. As Philadelphia endured a January that was one of the snowiest in history, the debate over whether it’s acceptable to save a parking spot you dug out raged, like it does, annually. The lack of legality of “Savesies� for protecting parking spots isn’t very disputed, but residents are still duking it out, sometimes violently, over saved spots. Some folks believe that, especially with laborious snow removal, the work put into shoveling a spot gives one permanent ownership of the public space. Just as many are tired of their neighbors claiming spaces with chairs, cinder blocks and trash cans. 1st District Police Captain Lou Campione confirmed that, lawfully, no one is allowed ownership of public spaces but that catching citizens in the act of saving a spot is tricky and infrequent. But just before press, a police report came through detailing a scuffle on the 2000 block of Manton Street over a spot involving a stun gun and multiple charges pressed, including aggravated assault.

> ˜ Ă•> ÀÞ Broad Spectrum Sports’ annual “Holiday Relay at Rizzoâ€? saw Santa sprinting in skates to raise money to go towards finding a cure for cancer. The night, organized by Danny and Chris Riccardi, Frank Fuotto and Rob Giannone, raised $2,000 for cancer research. The occasion honored cancer victims who have passed away, and gave those still struggling with the illness hope for the future. BSS is the obsessive manifestation of the night’s organizers’ passion for Philly sports, and the community advocates put their money where their mouths are by volunteer coaching year-round. The 7UP bottling plant at 816 Carpenter St. saw zealous soda fans cheering the end of an era before the plant was razed to make room for a slew of townhouse builds. South Philadelphia soda lovers weren’t going to let the building go without saying goodbye, though. We may have to say farewell to soda-bottling plants (cans of the big-name companies are far more viable), but residents were still happy to give the plant a sendoff for old time’s sake. 15-year-old Julia Parmisciano got star treatment in Los Angeles as she attended

the 56th annual Grammy Awards. The teen was the 5,000th Make-A-Wish Foundation of Philadelphia and Susquehanna Valley honoree, and the music lover was gifted an opportunity of a lifetime. The extraordinary gift was celebrated at Center City’s Hard Rock Cafe one week before her and her family flew to California, and gave the resident of the 2200 block of South 13th Street a reminder of her healthier days, before her 2011 six-month stay at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Her heart transplant went well, and Julia has even returned to her active sports lifestyle Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was remembered in South Philly, not just through recalling the man and the work he has done, but through the MLK Day of Service. Organizations and communities drew on inspiration from King’s ambition to fuel them to make a difference in their own neighborhoods. Amongst the projects and volunteer work was Point. Breeze’s Solid Rock Baptist Church, 1836 Federal St., whose Belle Myers said that they strive not to let their service be limited to one day, but work to live up to the spirit of the occasion on every day. The Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia,

Edwin M. Stanton Elementary School, 1700 Christian St., received a visit from former Governor Ed Rendell, and $500 for getting fourth place in an essay contest. The contest asked students ‘Should it be a requirement that the President of the United States be born in America?’ The students discussed their positions as part of an initiative by the team effort of the former Governor and his wife, United

States Court of Appeals for the 3rd circuit Judge Marjorie Rendell, whose collaboration with Arcadia University and the National Constitution Center challenged students to know more about their country’s civic processes. When pressed for the important areas where the President should concern themselves with, topics such as bullying, gun control and the war on drugs were suggested. As if East Passyunk Avenue needed another notch on its list of culinary accomplishments, EPA got one of the biggest ones yet in the form of Bravo’s Top Chef Season 11 winner, Nick Elmi. Things were already pretty great for Elmi and his crew at Laurel, 1617 E. Passyunk Ave., but after impressing judges and winning $125,000 on TV, Laurel’s not struggling to get diners in seats. The Massachusetts native and Collingswood, NJ resident got his start at the Culinary Institute of America and then at George Perrier’s Brasserie Perrier. After defeating Miami’s Nina Compton in the finale in Hawaii, Elmi is aiming to make himself happy at a smaller establishment rather than capitalizing on renown, focusing on the product of his French-inspired BYO (recently named the number one restaurant in the city by Philadelphia Magazine). Fifth and Bainbridge streets in Queen Village became the target for a big rehabilitation effort with the announcement of a hotel being planned for the location in 2015. The hotel will also contain a restaurant, while adjacent empty buildings are targeted for development into several new retail stores and apartments. Ilan Zaken’s development plans call for a good restaurant on the corner and mixed-usage extending from the corner. The 3,900 square-foot shell that Zaken bought at 632 S. Fifth St. was where Paul & Sons operated a paper company for nearly a decade. The project’s finish date is expected next

works to guide victims of violence and witnesses through the process of attaining fiscal compensation when they’ve been robbed or forced into the hospital, or guiding folks through the criminal justice system. The Philadelphia School District collaborated with the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) by conducting open houses and producing marketing material to sell 20 vacant school properties, alleviating the District’s annual budget stresses. Three South Philly sites are in the process of being taken over: Edward Bok School, 1901 S. Ninth St., Abigail Vare School, 1619 E. Moyamensing Ave., and Walter Smith School, 1300 S. 19th St. All told, if all the schools sold for asking price, the District could get a $55 million injection of funds. East Passyunk Crossing’s Bok School has already scored a developer, vision and community engagement is under way to reopen and revitalize the sleeping giant. Eddie Gottlieb was celebrated and immortalized at his alma mater, South Philadelphia High School, with a historical marker outside of the Lower Moyamensing school where he graduated in 1916. The late NBA icon (1898-1979) was celebrated by his biographer, Rich Westcott, Celeste Morello and former 76er Dikembe Mutombo. Gottlieb was one of the key founders of the National Basketball Association in 1946 and earned the nicknames “The Mogul� and “Mr. Basketball� when he became the first coach of the Philadelphia Warriors in the 1940s and ‘50s. He served as schedule-maker for the NBA for 30 years, and Chariman of the Rules Committee for 25 years.

Ă•Â˜i The Blue Cross Foundation’s Healthy Futures initiative brought Helen Nadel to Grays Ferry’s St. Gabriel School, 2917 Dickinson St., to address at least one of the three goals of the $3 million-dollar program – “Eat Right.â€? Nadel pushed fourth grade students to try fruits like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries and describe why they loved (or hated) them. Some had never tried a berry before, and Nadel got these learners excited about using them, at minimum, in a smoothie. “Get Fitâ€? and “Stay Wellâ€? are the other two prongs of the program, all three addressing issues of fitness, obesity, nutrition and hygiene. At the annual Italian Street Festival on East Passyunk Avenue, Filitalia International made it extra special by cutting the ribbon to the Italian Immigration Museum, 1834 E. Passyunk Ave. Dr. Pasquale Nestico, founder of Filitalia in 1987, was more than pleased to see the long-awaited opening of the museum. Nearly 15 to 20,000 visitors explored exhibits that celebrate generations of Italian heritage. Nestico and local Filitalia chapter president (there

D;MI are 20 chapters around the world), Rosetta Miriello, are dedicated to preserving and celebrating Italian culture for future generations with language and cooking classes in their new space. Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., the Pennsport neighborhood staple, celebrated 100 years of education with a day of rededication to the schools’ principles of diversity. A history of the facility was presented at an assembly in the auditorium and a diversity fair provided foods from around the world in the gymnasium afterwards, where a healthy breakdance circle ensued. The school’s vibrant English for Speakers of Other Languages programs help students achieve in challenging contexts as evidenced by Stephen Tiang, the soon-to-be valedictorian enrolling at Villanova, and Juana Gil Mercado, of Dominican descent whose bilingual skills were helpful as a main ffice intern. The Delaware River Waterfront Corp. continues to reclaim wetland spaces along the eastern boundaries of Philadelphia with the creation of the Washington Avenue Green (also known as Pier 53). Nature lovers rejoiced as a nature walk out to the water’s edge, and marked by artist Jody Pinto’s interactive land buoy, has become a leisure destination for much of Pennsport and neighboring communities.

Õ �Þ Development was the focus of a small handful of projects popping up in Southeast Philadelphia: Adventurer’s MiniGolf, 38 E. Jackson St., an impeding 27,000-square-foot South Bowl (a sister to Northern Liberties’ North Bowl) at 19 E. Oregon Ave., and a potential Mellody Brewing outpost at 1800 E. Moyamensing Ave. North Bowl’s Oron Daskal and Robert Dudzeick’s mini-golf and arcade birthday destination, along with the 2300 Arena at 2300 S. Swanson St., are revitalizing an otherwise bleak and industrial strip of the Pennsport and Whitman neighborhoods. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society opened a pop-up beer garden on the south side of South St. (1438-46 South St.) thanks to Kenny Gamble. Right next to the Jamaican Jerk Hut, 1436 South St., the pop-up aimed at topping last year’s successful run on S. Broad St. across from the Kimmel Center, which tallied nearly 30,000 visitors. Decked out with a South Beach vibe, the spot boasted a summer of food trucks, live music, craft beer and cocktails and high-end relaxing. Though the Horticultural Society’s known for its age-old Flower Show, Philadelphians are starting to see PHS as their go-to pop-up provider. Girard Park, 2101 Shunk St., was celebrated with the announcement of $250,000 in city funding slated for infrastructure improvements. Parks and Rec commissioner, Michael DiBerardinis, and City Council-

man Kenyatta Johnson, teamed up to use their capital funds to contribute towards the park bettering walkways, benches and lighting. 18,000 square feet of walkways will be repaved and 20 benches will be replaced. The Girard Estate Neighbors Association and Girard Estate Area Resident civics couldn’t have been more thrilled. With a grant of $250,000 from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Transportation Alternatives Program, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia will team with the city’s Streets Dept. to implement sharrows up and down 13th and 15th streets. Green chevrons and a ton of signage will encourage cyclists to use 13th and 15th as bike boulevards and stay off of Broad St. In coordination with the city’s paving schedule, the chevrons will go down in 2015 or ’16 and, hopefully, encourage bicycle use and safety, and discourage road-sharing motorist rage. The Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field finished up a $125 million revitalization plan and gave a preview to the media days before the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 7. The biggest improvements came in the graphics and media department: 22,000 square feet of HD video boards were installed, scoreboard and graphics controls, more cam-

visitors young and old alike to Bella Vista for their produce, meats, cheeses, seafood and poultry. And true to the market’s 21st century multicultural identity, the partialowner of Blue Corn, 940 S. Ninth St., said his new Mexican restaurant and bar is going well. A very controversial decision to change the route of the Mummers Parade was reached by Mummer leadership with eyes on the 2015 proceedings being more effective and less time- and resource-heavy. The 115th parade will reverse the direction of the parade with performances in front of City Hall for judging before brigades march south on Broad Street and ending at Washington Avenue. Tom Loomis (president of the String Band Association), Rusty Martz (president of the Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St.), and Richie Porko (president of the Comic Division), and Jim Julia (president of the Fancy Brigade Association) all spoke about the need to bring the Mummers into a new era and protect the beloved South Philly tradition.

South Philly is a hotbed for activism and young politically-minded Millennials. And no one captures that spirit more than Christie Eastburn, an East Passyunk Crossing resident, and Preeti Pathak, a recent Point Breeze-turned-University City resident, who appeared on the cover of the Review in anticipation of the March to End Rape Culture that took place on Sept. 27. A re-imagined version of the SlutWalk, Eastburn was the lead organizer and pulled in countless victim advocacy and trauma counseling organizations to participate. The march began at Thomas Payne Park at 16th Street and JFK Boulevard and traversed through the gayborhood and then back up Broad St. to City Hall with chanters and sign-holders, all with the main goal of stopping sexual assault and violence for all genders and sexualities. Southwark School, 1835 S. Ninth St., was the lucky recipient of the kindness of Digitas Health LifeBrands’ charitable giving with an ambitious overhaul of the school’s interiors. A fresh coat of paint, brand new murals, a cleaned-up gymnasium and some outdoor flourishes of paint got the school community’s year started out with smiles and hope. The 100-yearold East Passyunk Crossing institution needed a touch-up and Andrew Lukov, the school’s dynamic principal, was thrilled to hear of Digitas’ intentions to work with Southwark.

D;MI inhabit an entire block and house a brand new state-of-the-art playground and recreation center, South Philadelphia branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the City’s Health Cneter 2 and a CHOP primary care center. The 1.59 acres of land will be a new hub for the Newbold, Point. Breeze, East Passyunk Crossing, and Passyunk Square neighborhoods especially. But perhaps the most exciting aspect for neighbors is the expectation of a nearly 300,000 square-foot 21st Century free library, one that will attempt to capitalize on the unique opportunities of connecting health, literacy and physical fitness.

" V ĂŒ ÂœL i Ă€ Lindsey Scannapieco, managing partner and principal of Scout Ltd LLC, is the lead developer and community-wrangler who is attempting to bring the Edward W. Bok School, 1901 S. Ninth St., back to life. She and her development company have creative ambitions for the 350,000 square-foot building, which sold for nearly $2.1 million. Her vision calls for maker spaces, public living rooms, studio and retail spaces and perhaps even restaurants, all mixed together with the future anticipation of apartments above it all. Scannapieco will call on her experiences in London, where she worked famously on the 2012 Summer Olympic games spaces, to immediately bring the school back to life, which will start with creating parking underneath the beast. The World Meeting of Families are coming to Philadelphia and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s poised to not only put Catholic Philly on spotlight but welcome the 266th pope, Pope Francis, to the 2015 international celebration of familial faith. Pope John Paul II visited Philadelphia on a U.S. tour in 1979 and 36 years later, the City will expect well over 1 million visitors to the Parkway for a papal mass. Faithful and curious parishioners gathered at the St. Monica School, 16th and Ritner streets, to hear from Jack O’Brien, archdiocesan director of events, who updated neighbors on WMOF details and the much-anticipated papal visit. An iconic strip of Queen Village is being readied for greening – Bainbride Green, Bainbridge Street between South Third and Fifth streets, could look completely different in a couple years. Jonathan Rubin, a longterm resident and chair of the Friends of Bainbridge Green, has been rallying public and private support of an overhaul of the space and kicked off a fundraising season with “Dining & Dancing Under the Stars.â€? Though the project is in its earliest stages, Rubin is coordinating with South Street Headhouse District and the Queen Village Neighbors Association to obtain grants and state money with a three-or-four-year buildout goal.

feature package exploring gentrification around the city, an October cover story looked at the gentrification of South Philly. A growing city, Philly’s population went spiked with nearly 60,000 residents moving in between 2006 and ’12. 1,097 vacant lots and buildings are scattered throughout Pt. Breeze, making for rapidly-changing block-to-block dynamics. Beth McConnell, the Policy Director for the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations discussed thoughtful zoning and land-allocation, especially through the concept of something she advocates for, a City-run Land Bank that would streamline the resurrection of dead spaces and properties. Of course, the definition of gentrification itself was addressed by the Daily News’ Assistant City Editor Yvette Ousley, who said the editorial package aimed “to move away from the idea that gentrifying neighborhoods, whatever color they are, are victims. The people currently in these neighborhoods have choices – they can sell for lots of money or they can sell.�

ÂœĂ›i “ LiĂ€ A new governor was elected on Nov. 4 when Tom Wolf beat out incumbent Tom Corbett with 55 to 44 percent (1.9 million to 1.6 million votes) of the popular vote. Wolf was one of the only Democratic gubernatorial races to report success with GOP victories in the mid-term cycle in from Kansas to Maine. The 65-year-old York resident and graduate of Dartmouth College, the University of London and MIT, Wolf resigned as CEO of The Wolf Industry, Inc., a building-project company, to run for office. Wolf supporters from IBEW Local 98 held signs in front of Queen Village’s Famous Fourth Street Delicatessen, 700 S. Fourth St., of support. Young Involved Philadelphia’s Advocacy vice-chair, Stephen St. Vincent, also broke down the significance of the three proposed and passed ballot measures. The Philadelphia Water Department’s ongoing Green City, Clean Waters program turned its aim at the Guerin Rec Center, 16th and Wolf streets, in order to better manage some of the asphalt-heavy space’s rainwater runoff. After a series of meetings at the Center, Maggie Wood, a community planner and outreach specialist with the Water Dept., presented design options and fielded questions from curious neighbors. The anticipated design would eliminate some parking from the Center and install a rain garden and green space, potentially even a community garden, and build an underground water-holding cell underneath the playground. Levana Layendecker, the president of the Newbold Civic Assocation and a resident of the 2200 block of S. Hicks St., said there was a vocal minority of naysayers who wanted to minimize parking reduction and green

spaces, but that the majority of voters are greatly in favor of green space in the area. The awarding of a fifth and final Category 2 gaming license (up to 5,000 slot machines and 250 table games) to Stadium Casino, LLP had the Stella Maris and Packer Park neighborhoods, for the most part, livid. The bid process saw three losers: a Bart Blatstein proposal at 400 N. Broad St., Market8 Casino at Eighth and Market streets, and PHL Local Gaming LLC at 3333 S. Front St. Nearly 700 area residents gathered in the basement of Stella Maris, Ninth and Bigler streets, to voice concern at a meeting helmed by the Sports Complex Special Services District Director of District II, Barbara Capozzi. Union laborers were summarily booed at every opportunity, especially when the inevitability of the casino’s arrival was suggested, and concerns for the nearby Mastery elementary and middle schools campus were cheered. Alissa McLaughlin, a resident of the 2000 block of Pemberton Street, spearheaded a philanthropic Thanksgiving effort the weekend before Thanksgiving through her Small Fry program for 5- to 13-yearolds that focuses on nutrition and kitchen skills. 110 kids and their families stopped into the Marian Anderson Rec. Center, 740 S. 17th St., and walked away with all of the ingredients necessary for cooking a healthy and complete Thanksgiving dinner themselves, at home. The Monday before Thanksgiving, nearly 2,000 seniors were fed at Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., through a combined effort of Tasker Elite and Wyde Bodi. The Grays Ferry charter school was the brick-and-mortar hub of their combined efforts to feed the elderly and hungry, but hundreds of meals were delivered to homes, as well.

iVi“ LiÀ The heartwarming story of Rosey Poulshock’s devotion to her Philadelphia Eagles was captured when her son Marc teamed up with the franchise to promote a #GivingTuesday project in his late mom’s honor. When his mom was diagnosed with a rare peritoneal cancer, he initiated contact with Eagles’ front office leadership. They gave his mom the moment of a lifetime at

the first public training day in August and he was so moved, especially when Rose passed and the Eagles sent a massive bouquet of green and white roses, that he and Youth Eagles Partnership are raise up to $108,000 to go towards YEP’s efforts to “level the playing field, to use football terms, especially for kids facing long odds.� A private entity called Project 250 put together a nearly bulletproof pitch to Mayor Nutter and Parks & Recreation for the creation of a $150-million velodrome on the edge of FDR Park. A banked bicycle-racing track, the world-class facility would be another unique partnership between the City and a privately-funded LLC that would lease and manage public land. CEO Phil Senechal detailed his environmental background and plans to raise enough money to improve the park’s walking and bike trails and bodies of water, as well as create a replacement park across the street from FDR Park. In response to the racial unrest that spread through the United States as a result of the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, students at the Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catherine St., staged a die-in and speak-out to express their outrage, fear, frustration and confusion. After the final bell on Dec. 12, almost 100 students lay down to mimic death in their main hallway for 4.5 minutes to reflect the 4.5 hours that Brown lay dead in the street in Ferguson, MO. Students and staff used the upstairs library to recite poetry and communicate outrage afterwards. The Ralph Brooks Tot Lot at 20th and Tasker streets got an official groundbreaking after Connor Barwin’s Make the World Better Foundation, teamed with Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, coughed up $180,000 toward a new basketball court and park. Brooks himself was six years old when he was shot and paralyzed in 1988, but I.AM. South Philly founder Jahmall Crandall teamed with Jeff Tubbs’ Urban Roots to conceive of and find funding for a new revitalized corner park in Pt. Breeze. Now the Water Department, the Mural Arts Program and PhillyRising and Parks & Recreation are behind the project and it’s grown in scope to a nearly $500,000 project set to transform the corner by this time next year. +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

o matter his mission, be it instructing children at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts, engaging in daring storytelling for Tribe of Fools or engendering jovial occasions through Enchantment Theatre Co., Peter Smith loves experimentation, deeming it a foolproof friend in strengthening his love of play. Through Sunday, the 27-year-old is reveling courtesy of the third entity in that

triumvirate, playing the Crow and Shaman Lady for its production of “The Snow Queen.� “I’m fortunate to be working for Enchantment again,� the ex-inhabitant of 20th Street and Snyder Avenue said from the Arts Bank Theater, 601 S. Broad St., where he is handling his fifth company assignment. “I find the people appealing and consider this a special, charming work.� The former West Passyunk resident landed his roles in August, gaining an opportunity to join performers such as Queen Village-situated Scott McPheeters, who is portraying Kai, in staging the Hans Christian Andersen piece, the basis for the film “Frozen.� Loving his multi-role identity with Enchantment, which is uniting him with West Philly-based housemate Alison Liney as Gerda, Smith finds his present task an affirmation of his admiration for his overseers’ ingenuity, apparent through masks and puppets, among other helpers, and a boon to his infatuation with fluidity.

B?<;IJOB;I “I’ve always been very active and make movement my primary means for telling stories and conveying emotion,� he said of a passion that he honed studying commedia dell’arte in Italy while a Muhlenberg College registrant. “I’ve taught theater, gymnastics and swimming and have done summer camps, too, so there’s definitely that pull toward helping children to be healthy through physical activity.� Aside from being able to team with individuals with similar mindsets regarding youngsters’ edification, Smith appreciates that Enchantment’s decision to host its winter touring show allows his nieces and nephews to visit the Hawthorne-set venue, uniting his familial and professional broods. Having found Enchantment enchanting since it tabbed him to join the 2010-’11 “Harold and the Purple Crayon� tour, he anticipates enhancing its quest “to create original theater for young audiences and families that inspires, challenges and enriches our audience, onstage and in the classroom� while also calling on the company as a colleague in keeping his imagination constantly compelled. “I love to create art,� he said, “and I consider Enchantment extremely collaborative in helping me to bring that to fruition. If you take great work and committed people, you can expect some pretty fruitful

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` S d W S e Q ] [

results.� THE BROOMALL NATIVE can credit older brother Michael, a professional actor in Chicago, for initiating his interest in performance. Thinking everything his sibling attempted held intrigue, Smith decided to emulate his example and performed in high school plays and musicals. “That came from wanting to be the center of attention,� he said with a laugh. “Really, though, my enthusiasm derived from a desire to exchange positive energy.� Believing he would feel safer navigating through that course than he would participating in “the rat race� that is often an actor’s chore, he still attempted to be a stage presence, with his three-month stint in Tuscany easing his performance anxiety. “It was pretty glorious there,� Smith said of his Mediterranean matriculation. “I knew it would be a great opportunity, and when I returned, I knew I just could not forget about the merits of performance, too.� He graduated in ’10, which would prove a pivotal year, as it commenced his connections with Enchantment, which became aware of him through a Muhlenbergheld audition, and Tribe of Fools, the latter union coming through his inaugural Enchantment tour.

“I’m very happy to call myself a very happy company member,� Smith said of aiding the troupe, which West Passyunk’s Terry Brennan, another Enchantment veteran, helms as artistic director. “It’s another highly collaborative group where I can witness a free progression of ideas.� The thorough thinker has established an endearing three-year relationship with Tribe of Fools, which also includes South Philadelphians Zachary Chiero and Tim Popp, notably nabbing the lead in ’13’s FringeArts entry “Antihero� and appearing as Ty in last year’s “Two Street: A Tale of Star Crossed Mummers.� Offering an adult-centric outlet for his creative juices, his Tribe of Fools tenure has also yielded a more intense yearning for presenting poignant works. “That is not to say we don’t enjoy playing on stage and making jokes,� Smith said, with the company’s annual holiday burlesque, in which he plays Dirty Santa, as evidence. “We work together very well and always strive to mix movement and traditional acting. That yields a combination of comedic and dramatic elements that can bring about some pretty powerful stuff.� Having experienced a busy December, he looks forward to an ambitious new year, with Tribe of Fools pondering the creation

of one-person shows to complement its FringeArts involvement, which Smith finds especially exciting since the foursome’s September show might include one of his “idea babies,� and with his becoming more adept at using a Cyr wheel for his Circus Arts employment. “I’m interested in seeing what can come of so many ideas,� Smith confessed, adding he recently became the assistant technical director for the Hammonton, N.J.-based Eagle Theatre, for whom he has already assisted with two productions. “For now, I see that unfolding in Philadelphia, and I’m looking to bring a bunch of plans to fulfillment.� As he prepares for the last three performances of “The Snow Queen,� which Enchantment first mounted a decade ago, he respects both the show’s enduring themes, such as friendship and bravery, and the company’s trust in enlisting him to contribute to its cause. “You can’t go wrong when working here,� Smith said. “Five shows in, and I’m hooked.� +(* For tickets, call 215-496-9160, or visit enchantmenttheatre.org.

aybe I’m the last one who should be writing this column, but someone had to write it. I’ve never marched in the Mummer’s Parade. There used to be a sharp division in my family on New Year’s Day. My father and his brothers grew up marching in the parade. The men on my mother’s side of the family, except for my Uncle Georgie Blair, were decidedly indifferent. I usually joined those men in watching the college football bowl games. It wasn’t until I was married that I acquiesced in going out to South Broad Street with my wife to watch a few string bands. I didn’t quite get why the crowd stacked outside Methodist Hospital was so enthusiastic as they called to one another, and danced in the street. However, I did enjoy bundling up in the bright sunshine and greeting friends and remaining relatives, some of whom would leave their suburban homes to return to South Broad Street to greet the New Year. I finally had to admit that if there were anything wrong with the Mummer’s Parade, the fault lay in myself. On Jan. 1, all the city belonged to us. I became proud as hell of that. My Aunt Betty began the tradition in our family of holding open house in her Wolf Street home. As each of us arrived there, she greeted us with hot soup, her famous sausage bread and countless other homemade goodies. My aunts greeted each of us as if we were the light of their lives, and I guess in many ways, all of us were. I think their love warmed us as much as the food and the warm home. My mother-in-law also held open house for those of us at the parade. By now, the bowl games had faded into insignificance for me. It was just wonderful to visit her South Iseminger Street home. We’d discuss which string band we thought should win. She served a delicious roast pork on fresh Italian rolls — we waited in line outside a bakery for what seemed like hours for those rolls — Italians prize their bread. She served the best homemade potato salad you ever ate. As the sun set, we watched the parade together on the color TV in her living room, the happy sound of the string bands became the soundtrack of our lives on New Year’s Day. And then as it happens with all families, our beloved

aunt was gone and so was the happiest woman I ever met, my mother-in-law. But our family on both sides held strong. The tradition, we hoped, would never die. My sister-in-law and my wife carried on. Open house still meant roast pork sandwiches and homemade potato salad. The parade seemed better than ever. I’m not sure why there will be no parade in the heart of South Philly this year. There are good economic reasons I’m sure. I guess the parade will be tighter, the participants fresher as they perform around the judges’ stand. I’m certain there will be fewer gaps between string bands, and the TV folks are incredibly happy. The point of this column is not to point fingers or assign villains or even to understand the byzantine politics that have surrounded the parade for years. I understand why it is important the parade help attract tourists to a city that seems always in dire straits when the matter of the budget comes around. And there is no doubt the crowds have dropped off in recent years in the places where we used to rendezvous. Some of the most ardent devotees of the parade are gone and many others have become too old to venture out into the cold to greet their friends the way they did in bygone years. All of that is true. And yet ... What I do know is what has been taken from us. I know that there will be no crowd of well-wishers outside Methodist Hospital. There won’t be any of the old faces singing and dancing in the street. There won’t be young parents holding their children aloft so they can get their first glimpse of our history and tradition. Not in my part of South Philly anyway. The vendors selling hot chocolate, pretzels and sandwiches will have no crowds to buy their wares. There will be no friends and family returning to our area this year on Jan. 1. The colorful bands are elsewhere. So is their music. In the place where the parade thrived, where it was born, it will be just another day. The streets will be eerily quiet, the sidewalks empty. To understand our loss, one only has to pretend that one day the Mardi Gras mysteriously disappeared from New Orleans. No, we don’t have to travel too far in terms of distance up Broad Street to find the parade, but in emotional terms, they might as well be marching on another planet. There are, no doubt, good reasons for changing the route of the parade, but you’ll pardon us if we think that no reason is really good enough. You’ve not only broken our heart; you’ve stolen the very heart of the parade. For the parade isn’t only fancy plumes and beautiful colors, it is the spirit and tradition of a people. The parade is us. +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

0]gV]]R “Boyhood� isn’t quite the masterpiece so many have proclaimed it to be. There’s an unignorable racist subplot about a Hispanic laborer (it’s well beneath filmmaker Richard Linklater’s better judgment), and seeing as the growth of Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) is followed as closely as that of her brother, Mason (Ellar Coltrane), “Childhood� would have been a better title. But these shortcomings seem minor when compared to Linklater’s momentous achievement — an unprecedented, 12-years-in-the-making saga defined by the director’s obsessions with time and the small wonders of adolescent ennui. For Linklater, it’s a magnum opus. ' 5]RhWZZO Don’t laugh. When one considers the gamble of entrusting budding filmmaker Gareth Edwards (“Monsters�) with a name brand summer tentpole, and his cast of bona fide actors like Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche, there is already plenty to applaud about “Godzilla.� But better still is that the movie nearly restores one’s faith in the big-budget blockbuster. It’s shocking to see metropolitan destruction that isn’t tedious; there are restraint and attention to scale that amount to an awe-inspiring creature feature; and the iconic monster, previously a punch line, acts as a symbol of nature as a dispassionate equalizer. & :]dS Wa Ab`O\US A gay marriage kicks off the narrative of “Love is Strange,� but the movie’s absence of specific gayness is what warrants celebration. New York-based director Ira Sachs crafts a post-gay vision of human beings, all of them inhabiting a world where their bed partners are far from what defines them. Everyday conflicts like em-

Above all, Sachs’ film is about empathy, something that’s essential to every community. % <SWUVP]`a In popular media especially, male relationships are depicted with a growing ambiguity when it comes to what constitutes queer behavior. This summer, the fratboy comedy “Neighborsâ€? leapt out as a testosterone-pumped explosion of sexual confusion. It playfully acts as an equalopportunity paean to Zac Efron’s enviable form (characters of all ages and sexes take notice), and it’s also an objective, yet unmistakable, riff on the homoeroticism of fraternities. In addition to being supremely funny, “Neighborsâ€? is a reassuring, progressive sign of the times. $ BVS 7[[WU`O\b Another New York-centric filmmaker, James Gray has directed films about crime (“The Yardsâ€?) and romance (“Two Loversâ€?) that emit the atmosphere of the island he knows so well. Featuring Marion Cotillard as a 1920s Polish immigrant and Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Renner as the men who enrich and complicate her life, Gray’s latest is his most personal film and his personal best. It highlights New York as the entry point of the American Dream, and rethinks our “land of opportunityâ€? as a land of double-edged swords. # BVS 5`O\R 0cRO^Sab 6]bSZ For those who respect the work of Wes Anderson, but rarely arm to it, “The Grand Budapest Hotelâ€? is a gorgeous antidote. Anderson is a master of meticulous

whimsy, but he can alienate viewers, as his bittersweet humor and dollhouse aesthetic have a way of feeling inaccessible. “Grand Budapest,� however, is very much of our world while still being a full Anderson concoction, using its nesting-doll story as a pseudo-revisionist take on European history. Anderson regulars like Bill Murray and Willem Dafoe are terrific, but as a quirky hotelier, Ralph Fiennes gives his finest screen performance. " =\Zg :]dS`a :STb /ZWdS Jim Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive� is perhaps the coolest vampire movie ever made. Pairing svelte Tom Hiddleston with ageless Tilda Swinton (they play immortal, bloodthirsty spouses), the film is consummately moody and unfolds in places as disparate, yet equally entrancing, as Detroit and Tangier, while presenting an uncommon respect for the undead. The couple recall the many eras and cultural luminaries they’ve encountered, and revere Jack White in the same breath as Darwin. Ultimately, the title isn’t just a hat-tip to the oldest married couple but a lovesick forecast of what they’ll become. ! C\RS` bVS AYW\ With his third feature, Jonathan Glazer has garnered comparisons to Stanley Kubrick, and yet, even those flattering remarks feel reductive when considering the transcendence of “Under the Skin.� The influence of “2001: A Space Odyssey� is very noticeable throughout, but Glazer’s creation is so much his own that one shouldn’t indulge the urge to share the credit with a more renowned maestro. Epically stunning yet eerily simplistic, this stark alien yarn explores the notions of a woman coming to terms with her sexuality, but it’s more about a newborn

coming to terms with being human. Ab`O\US` Pg bVS :OYS “Stranger by the Lake� has made noise for incorporating uninhibited, full-frontal sex scenes, but French director Alain Guiraudie surpasses accusations of mere pornography by turning a story about gay cruising into mythical high art. Set in the sole location of an unnamed nude beach where events transpire in a disorientingly cyclical fashion, “Stranger by the Lake� wonderfully revived interest in Guiraudie’s formidable oeuvre. It’s also a fearlessly straightforward study of desire, which can be so limitless it will lead one man to his death. 2SO` EVWbS >S]^ZS Labels have become both toxins and necessities in our culture, boxing people in while also giving them a crucial place in society. Debut director Justin Simien understands this to an astonishingly lucid extent, and in “Dear White People,� he exploits the setting of a (moderately) multi-cultured Ivy League campus as a playground of ideas, where nearly every facet of modern identity is explored. Simien offers a literate, street-smart swirl of provocative notions and dialogue about the black, white, queer, male and female experiences, and he benevolently gives every character the floor. It’s anyone’s guess how the writer-director was able to deliver something of such even-handedness and uncompromising authority, but his end product is a film that the world needs — right now. Honorable Mention: “The Drop,� “Foxcatcher,� “Ida,� “Locke,� “Mommy,� “Of Horses and Men,� “Palo Alto,� “The Skeleton Twins,� “Venus in Fur� and “Wild.� +(* Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

ow important is the Mummers Parade to the Bryson family? The intensive care unit of a hospital wasn’t even enough to keep one member away from marching in the annual tradition. The leader and founder of the Bryson NYB, Joseph “Pop� “Gootch� Bryson, was in the unit dealing with medical issues last year. The family members planned on picking him up from the hospital so he could march in his 76th parade, but there was no need, as the man nicknamed “Gootch� had checked himself out. It ended up being the last parade for the 81-year-old, who passed away in September.

“The Mummers pretty much meant everything,� his son, Ed Bryson, said. “It’s what kept him alive these last couple of years.� He added that the last four months of his father’s life were really tough with a rotation that included regular dialysis treatments, frequent admission into the ICU unit and trips to the Jersey Shore. But planning for and participating in the Mummers Parade always took top priority. Those responsibilities are now in the hands of Ed Bryson and his fellow family members. “This is what my dad wanted,� Ed said. “We have to keep it going for him.�

There is a lot of work involved with executing this year’s theme of “Ain’t Nothing Like a Family Business.� The brigade consists of 150 children, with at least one parent marching with them. Just like his father would’ve done, Ed Bryson spent the majority of Saturday making 26 children’s costumes. “I don’t get much sleep this time of year,� Bryson, who noted that he is running on adrenaline, said. “Come New Year’s Eve, I will still be making costumes.� The wench and comic brigades came together last weekend for the Pop Bryson Memorial Mass at Sacred Heart Church, 1404 S. Third St., which will become a new annual tradition like the Mummers Mass held New Year’s Eve at Mount Carmel Church, 2319 S. Third St. Pop was very set in his Mummery ways. There were years where the other family members started putting him on a scooter for the parade, but “it was against his wishes.� Ed Bryson recalled one year where it was freezing out, and he asked his father to get in the truck. The response truly displayed the elder Bryson’s passion for the Mummers. “If you put me in the truck, you might as well take me home,� Ed Bryson recalled his father saying. Joseph Bryson, one of Ed’s brothers, is currently in the hospital getting dialysis treatments. Like their father, he will likely find a way to make sure he is at the parade. Of course, it might mean getting in the truck. Pop Bryson’s lasting legacy on the Mummers Parade will be on full display this week as blankets, flags and posters of him will be on full display for this year’s event. For those attending the parade, mention the name Joseph “Pop� “Gootch� Bryson, and it may likely start a very lengthy conversation. “He is a legend. Everybody looked up to him,� Ed Bryson said. “He never had a bad word to say about anybody.� +(*

hen Mitch Brumels relocated to Philadelphia over the summer, he wasted little time sampling the City of Brotherly Love’s most talked about food: The cheesesteak. He ventured into the Passyunk Square neighborhood and sampled offerings from both Pat’s and Geno’s. “They were both pretty amazing,� the Michigan native said. But there is little time to ponder

Ocean Prime Opened: December 2013 General Manager: Lydia Turner 124 S. 15th St. 215-563-0163 oceanprimephilly.com

Philadelphia’s great cheesesteak debate these days, as he is keeping extremely busy serving as executive chef of the Center Citybased Ocean Prime. Working for the company, which opened its first establishment in 2006, is not a new task for the kitchen leader who started as a line cook at the Denver location and was promoted into a leadership role when he moved to the one in Atlanta. Many days start before 8 a.m. and do not end until after 11 p.m. The heavy workload is part of the responsibilities that come with overseeing lunch, which was added in November, and dinner service. The menu includes seafood selections and prime steaks, along with a variety of other offerings. Besides sending palate-pleasing selections out of the kitchen, the chef and his coworkers also take great pride in pleasing customers. “We have great people delivering genuine hospitality,� Brumels said of the operation that bills itself as “the modern American supper club.� The ingredients for a promising

career started blending together during his teenage years when he started as a dishwasher and worked his way up. Knowing his career path, he enrolled at New York’s Culinary Institute of America. “[Cooking] is kind of the only thing I’ve ever done,� Brumels said. “It grew on me and I kept going.� For those up to the challenge, he is sharing Ocean Prime’s “not too crazy� Blackened Salmon Salad recipe with Spicy Walnuts.

Season the salmon with the salt. Dredge the top with the seafood seasoning. Blacken the salmon in a cast-iron skillet, and finish in a 350-degree oven to desired temperature. In a stainless steel mixing bowl, combine the dressing and goat cheese, cream with tongs. Add the lettuce mix and fruit, mix to combine thoroughly. Place the salad on the left side of a plate. Garnish with the goat cheese and walnuts (see recipe below). Brush the salmon with the butter, and place on the right side of the plate. A>71G E/:<CBA 7<5@3273<BA(

Combine the nuts, sugar and water in a sauce pan, and simmer for eight minutes. Drain, and toss the warm nuts in the powdered sugar (make sure the nuts are coated with the sugar until they look powdered and not wet). Fill a pot with oil, and fry the nuts at 350 degrees until they turn golden brown. Remove the nuts, and place them on a paper towel lined tray (The nuts will continue to cook for a minute after, so be careful not to fry for too long). Season the nuts with the cayenne and salt immediately after they come out of the pot. Toss to incorporate. +(*Š Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME, AND I’M NOT THERE TO SEE; IF THE SUN SHOULD RISE AND FIND YOUR EYES, ALL FILLED WITH TEARS FOR ME. I WISH SO MUCH YOU WOULDN’T CRY, THE WAY YOU DO EACH DAY, WHILE THINKING OF THE MANY THINGS, WE DIDN’T SAY. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME, AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU; AND EACH TIME THAT YOU THINK OF ME, PLEASE KNOW I MISS YOU, TOO. BUT WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME, PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND, THAT AN ANGEL CAME AND CALLED MY NAME, AND TOOK ME BY THE HAND. THE ANGEL SAID A PLACE WAS READY, IN HEAVEN UP ABOVE; AND THAT I’D HAVE TO LEAVE BEHIND, ALL THOSE I TRULY LOVE. I HAD SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, SO MUCH YET TO DO. IT SEEMED ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, THAT I WAS LEAVING YOU. WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME, DON’T THINK WE’RE FAR APART; FOR EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF ME, I’M RIGHT HERE IN YOUR HEART.

ne wonders what foes think when going against South Philly-rooted athletes. Much like the city in which they reside, they have earned reputations as never-say-die performers. Last year frequently found them frolicking after championship moments and giving followers hopes for a fruitful 2015. Seasons change, bringing bouts with unpredictable weather, but one certainty has emerged among South Philly’s performers: They are always hot.

1 ,9

Reno Dagostino, a registrant at Positive Force Karate, 1704 Jackson St., earned world champion distinction through the North American Sport Karate Association thanks to dominating performances at the Philadelphia Independence Open Karate Championships. The boy received tutelage from fellow Packer Park resident Hugo Armando Jr., himself a worldrenowned practitioner. Thanks to sharpshooting senior guard Jeffrey Williford, the boys’ basketball team at Girard Academy Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St., tallied an 8-4 mark in the Public League’s Division E, earning the Pioneers a Class A Quarterfinal berth. In 17 games, Williford averaged 16.9 points. Following his transfer from West Catholic, senior guard Anwar Epps became a scoring machine for The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., erupting for 546 points in 24 games. That 22.8 average placed him fifth in city scoring and helped the Griffins to register a 17-7 record. Senior guard Regine Prentice domi-

nated teams while enjoying her shot at stardom at Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St. In a mismatch versus the A. Philip Randolph Raptors, for example, the resident of the 1300 block of South Corlies Street nearly doubled up the opposition by scoring 27 points in a 57-15 thrashing. Having claimed two state championships while playing for Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., Markieff and Marcus Morris returned to South Philly as members of the Phoenix Suns, who downed the 76ers 124-113 at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. The twins combined to score 17 points, grab six rebounds and tally four assists.

, 1 ,9 After a successful stint as an assistant coach for Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., John Mosco squared off against the Saints as the head coach of the Warminster-based Archbishop Wood Vikings. The Point Breeze product guided the team to a 7-6 Catholic League mark and an 11-12 overall record. A year removed from capturing the District 12 Class AA title, the girls’ basketball team proved its prowess by registering a 21-0 regular season. The squad secured the flawless slate with a 74-28 throttling of the Bishop McDevitt Lancers. For his academic achievements and football accomplishments, including leading his club to a 9-3 mark and a Thanksgiving Day win over Neumann-Goretti, Michael Riley, the senior quarterback for South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., won a Mini Max Award. The signal caller also shared the divisional MVP award with teammate and fellow

All-Public standout Mark Webb. Lovers of history had their fill Feb. 24, as the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams from Neumann-Goretti left the Palestra with Catholic League titles. The girls beat Archbishop Wood, 55-46 to win their school’s first such plaque since 1978, while the boys downed Roman Catholic 53-48 for their sixth-straight parochial crown.

, Mark Casasanto Jr., of the 2400 block of South 20th Street, captured Conference Player of the Year distinction for helping Community College of Philadelphia to win its first Eastern States Soccer League title. The Girard Estate star gained secondary education renown while a member of Roman Catholic High School. Already with time as a practice goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers, Peter Dundovich, of the 2500 block of South Colorado Street, intensified his hockey journey by overseeing Dundo Goalie School lessons at Rizzo Rink, 1101 S. Front St. The Girard Estate inhabitant has also logged time in Croatia and for squads in the Federal Hockey League. The day after losing his mother to cancer, Neumann-Goretti senior guard Ja’Quan Newton tallied a career-high 33 points to lead the Saints to a 64-57 overtime win over Susquehanna Township. The Hershey-set win gave the Saints their fourth state title in five seasons.

ing with Marist College and Indiana University, respectively. New Jersey resident Christian Carto, who trains at Rosati’s Gym, 1937 S. Chadwick St., and the Grays Ferry Boxing and Fitness Club, 1500 S. 28th St., won the 108-pound Pennsylvania Golden Gloves championship in Chester. The Deptford dweller went on to win the national championship in Las Vegas May 17. Coming in with an 0-3 ledger, the baseball team from Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., erupted for 16 hits at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets, to defeat Fels 186. The Pennsport club would place senior pitcher Jose Gil and junior infielder Marshall Drummond on the All-Public team, as the Falcons went 5-7 in the Public League’s stacked Division B. Roman Catholic graduate Mark Ziegler returned to his alma mater to coach the Cahillites at the Penn Relays. The resident of the 2500 block of South Chadwick Street helped the school to a third-place finish in the 4x400 Philadelphia Catholic race.

9 Gunning for their third-straight regular season win over perennial powerhouse Frankford, the Prep Charter baseball players squandered a six-run edge to lose 11-9 at Citizens Adjusters Park, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue. The Huskies compiled a 6-6 record in Division-A play and dropped the Class AA final to Philadelphia Academy. Hot bats and flashy glove work from juniors David Destouet and David Russino guided the Southern Rams to a 7-6 super site-situated win over Delaware Valley. Both earned All-Public nods, as the

IFEHJI Lower Moyamensing club went 9-3 in Division C play. Senior star Jacob Kurtz reached base four times, as the GAMP Pioneers earned a 15-2 Class A semifinal victory over Rush at Citizens Adjusters Park. The All-Public pick and his mates would go on to drop their class final to long-time foe Masterman at Richie Ashburn Field, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue. The Neumann-Goretti Saints again proved themselves the jewel of the baseball diamond, crushing Roman Catholic 11-0 to claim their fourth league crown in six seasons. The La Salle College High School-situated blanking capped a run in which the East Passyunk-based athletes won five elimination games. ĂŠĂŠ

1 9 New Jersey inhabitant Anthony DeAngelo, who trained at FDR Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, joined the Tampa Bay Lightning following the club’s selection of him as the 19th overall pick in the NHL Draft.
