Area residents are hoping to defeat a modication proposal for a billboard adjacent to a Marconi banquet establishment.

ontrasting expressions claim “Rules are rules” and “Rules are meant to be broken.” Marconi and Packer Park residents have worked to uphold the former’s finality since midNovember, while a Cheltenham-based business owner has desired a variation on the latter’s meaning since mid-October, insisting that modernization often necessitates change. The parties have centered their pleas on the state of a 44-year-old billboard within the parking lot of Gal-

Playing merry munchkins, students from the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, 2600 S. Broad St., sang their support for Gale’s quest to return to Kansas

Dec. 28 in the Merriam Theater’s production of “The Wizard of Oz.” Their performance allowed their Marconi institution to continue its 11-year history of assisting shows and gave the youngsters their initial theatrical exposure to the rewards of diligence and enthusiasm.

An energized crowd teeming with giddy children and equally thrilled adults filled the aisles for the penultimate performance of the Oz Theatre Co. LLC’s two-day stay, flocking to see the area’s first rendition of

the Royal Shakespeare Co.’s adaptation of author L. Frank Baum’s 1900 book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” since 2008.

A respectful farewell To the Editor: As we ring in the new year, I would like to publicly thank Anne Verna and Frank DiCicco for their distinguished service to this City and South Philadelphia. Verna fought long and hard for the residents of the 2nd Council District over her distinguished career.

Many in the media forget that as majority leader in the 1990s she worked hard with John Street and Mayor Ed Rendell to help guide the City through the hard financial times of that decade.

And no one can deny that Verna was always dedicated to the citizens of her district, and she put in long and hard hours in service to them. As the first female Council president, she brought an open and transparent approach to the Council presidency, and brought class and dignity to that office. And while she took heat for entering the DROP program, she kept her word and retired from City service with honor and integrity.

The same also is true of Councilman DiCicco, who also kept his word to the citizens of South Philly and the City by retiring. DiCicco also was critical in leading the reform of the antiquated zoning code, and for initiating the waterfront development master plan which was created this year. He also was steady and pragmatic in bringing critical and needed development to the 1st Council district, and his coverage area has grown in population because of it.

Verna and DiCicco have been treated poorly by the media during the past year. However, it is time to thank them for their service to this City and to South Philadelphia, and for their steady leadership. Both of these individuals were class acts and will be missed. While we can embrace the change that is coming, and look forward to working with our new councilmen (Kenyatta Johnson and Mark Squilla), one thing is certain — that Verna and DiCicco will be remembered with affection and respect for decades to come in South Philadelphia.

we must reduce America’s exposure to these potent toxins, which can cause cancer, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and attacks to the immune system. The U.S. has banned arsenic as a pesticide spray for crops, but foreign countries have not.

Most apple juice concentrate comes from China where there is high arsenic concentration in the groundwater.

Some arsenic remains in American soil from prior years.

There are two issues. The government subsidizes farmers to grow crops, so why are U.S. companies purchasing arsenic laden apple concentrate from foreign countries? The other issue is the FDA has known about this problem for years, but has yet to set any standards. Isn’t it the consumer that they’re paid to protect?

The World Health Organization says arsenic could cause high blood pressure and reproductive problems.

It’s a fantasy to believe there is such a thing as safety standards for taking poison. Stop fooling the American people.

TRI-STATE MALL • CLAYMONT, DE 19703 NEXT TO K-MART AT THE PA/DEL BORDER

n argument of an unknown nature resulted in a Lower Moyamensing man stabbing another shortly after midnight New Year’s Day. Santo Mancuso, 53, of the 1000 block of Ritner Street, is believed to have killed Joseph Testa, 77, on his street, which is the 2500 block of South Jessup Street, Officer Jill Russell of Police Public Affairs said.

Testa was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was pronounced dead at 12:49 a.m. while Mancuso was arrested at the scene.

“We don’t know what type of argument … other than there’s been bad blood between these families for two years,” Homicide Lt. Philip Riehl said Tuesday noting police have been called to the location previously.

The fight began with some woman shoving each other and then some men becoming involved, Riehl said. Testa was not part of the fight, but tried to break it up when he was stabbed at least twice — once in the side and once in the chest.

Mancuso also had been hospitalized with a head injury, Riehl said.

Mancuso was charged with murder, possession of an instrument of crime and resisting arrest.

A man robbed an area corner store after purchasing a bag of chips New Year’s Day. The robber, who was caught on video surveillance, entered Double-O-Seven, 2655 S. Seventh St., grabbed a bag of chips and paid for them at 6:38 p.m. Jan. 1, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

As the 56-year-old cashier placed the

change in the register, the patron said, “This is a robbery. Give me all the green in the register,” Tolliver said.

She looked up and saw a black automatic handgun in his hand, so she gave him $225, according to police. He fled the location and headed north on Seventh.

The suspect was described as white, in his early 30s, 6-foot-2; having a medium build, blond hair and blue eyes; and wearing a gray hoody inside out, green T-shirt, blue jeans and a black cloth over his face.

‘Wreck Locals’ vandals

Surveillance video After arresting one, police are trying to identify three more teens for vandalisms in West Passyunk last week.

At 8:50 p.m. Dec. 27, the group walked along the 2000 block YouTube video of South Etting Street spray-painting stop signs, car hoods and buildings with “W,” “L” and “Wreck Locals,” in addition to breaking off car side mirrors and kicking in windshields, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit.

Two days later, the teens posted a video of the acts to YouTube, which tipsters alerted police about Tuesday. One of the offenders, a 16-year-old, called 911 to turn himself in at 11:25 p.m. Tuesday, Officer Christine O’Brien of Public Affairs said, declinding to disclose where the male resided. He was charged with 17 counts of criminal mischief including incidents on Etting, the 2200 and 2300 blocks of Oregon Avenue, 2400 block of West Passyunk Avenue, 25th and Ritner streets and 28th Street and Vare Avenue.

Delivery goes wrong

Internet assists police

A Newbold deliveryman was carjacked while transporting an order to Whitman.

As the 36-year-old from San Lucas Pizzeria, 2000 S. Bouvier St., drove on the 2200 block of South Reese Street at 12:38 a.m.

Monday, he called to alert his customer, but no one picked up, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He noticed that the inside of the home was dark when a man asked how much the grub cost.

As he put his window down, another man armed with a silver automatic handgun demanded he exit the car. The duo snatched $165 from him before fleeing south on Reese in his Ford Explorer.

The man was unharmed and police discovered his car parked and unattended about three blocks away on the 2200 block of South Mildred Street, Tolliver said.

Both men were wearing black clothing and ski masks.

A Philadelphia Police Department’s social media post helped to identify Delaware County teen in a Lower Moyamensing robbery.

At 5 p.m. Dec. 28, police received a tip identifying the 17-year-old of Boothwyn, who allegedly was responsible for a robbery that took place at 4:47 p.m. Dec. 27 at Qin’s Grocery, 1100 W. Moyamensing Ave., after that tipster had seen a surveillance photo on the department’s Facebook page, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit.

The teen entered the corner store armed with a handgun and demanded cash from the employee behind the counter, according to police. He fled with $200 south on 11th Street then east on Porter Street on foot.

The juvenile will be charged with robbery and related charges.

he International Association of Fire Fighters – Local 22 is concerned about what its members deem as unnecessary paramedic reassignments.

“They’re planning to transfer every one of them,” union president Bill Gault said of the fire department’s paramedics being relocated starting Jan. 8 and 9.

Gault received 150 memos from paramedics requesting to stay at their location while 17 requested a change from night to day shift. The mass transfer was announced three months ago.

“These are paramedics,” Gault said.

“They save lives for a living. They should be given some consideration.”

Fire department personnel referred questions on the matter to Commissioner Lloyd Ayers, who did not return calls or e-mails prior to press time.

As employees learn their new communities, arriving to their destinations in a timely fashion will not be done as efficiently, a South Philly firefighter who did not wish to be named for fear of retribution, said.

“What you’re going to have down here is longer response times,” he said. “The people in South Philly need to know the next step they need to take to protect their

SWITCHING THE WORKERS is part two of scheduled changes resulting from a lawsuit the medics won a few years ago, Gault said.

In July 2003, paramedics filed a suit demanding overtime pay for weeks when they worked more than 40 hours. At that time, the City classified paramedics in the same vein as firefighters, who are deemed exempt from mandatory overtime pay, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Fair Labor Standards Act. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled in favor of the City in ’06, according to court records.

The paramedics appealed and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit overturned the decision noting that the court erred since paramedics are not responsible for “fire protection activities” in ’07. The findings prompted the City to file a petition with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board seeking to remove the paramedics from the union in ’09. The board sided with the City, but the union is awaiting a ruling on an appeal.

“Immediately after [the paramedics won the lawsuit, the City] changed their shifts to 12-hour shifts,” Gault said. “They were working 10-hour days and 14-hour nights like fireman and they worked 8 [a.m.] to 8 [p.m.] or 8 [p.m.] to 8 [a.m. after the switch]. Now step two seems to be taking them all out of their spots, which they’re accustomed to. … We see it as complete retaliation and vindictiveness.” SPR

LED BILLBOARD continued from page 1 lot of Galdo’s Catering & Entertainment, 1933 W. Moyamensing Ave. To promote their beliefs, the locals and attorney Stephen G. Pollock, representing Dominick Cipollini of Keystone Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc., will gather 7 p.m.

Jan. 12 at St. Richard School’s Hall, 1826 Pollock St., for a public forum. The first will argue to leave the structure alone, with the legal professional set to say it must go in favor of a towering replacement. Their appearances will serve as preludes to Jan. 18’s Center City date with the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

“This will be an exercise in togetherness,” Barbara Capozzi, of the 1900 block of Hartranft Street, said Dec. 29 within a few feet of the free-standing double-face, non-accessory sign.

The president of the Packer Park Civic Association has led the outcry against modification of the 62-foot-high advertising aid measuring 14 by 48 feet. Cipollini, who obtained an exclusive billboard easement and agreement Dec. 31, 1992, is seeking a variance to erect a double-face, non-accessory sign containing digital and static sides that would result in a 90-foothigh product totaling 20 feet by 60 feet.

Capozzi became aware of the signage matter Nov. 18 courtesy of Mary Tracy, Center City’s Society Created to Reduce Urban Blight executive director, a 21-year-old coalition aiming to check billboard proliferation, so the frustrated figure took immediate action upon learning of a hearing scheduled for Nov. 23. Correspondence with former City Council President Anna C. Verna helped to secure a continuance, and the delay could assist Capozzi and her allies, as it will allow them to call on precedents for assistance.

With SCRUB’s activism proving fruitful, City Council in ’91 passed a pair of comprehensive sign-control ordinances, Tracy said. The legislation noted existing billboards could remain yet forbid alterations. It also declared future work could not occur within 300 feet of residential properties, within 660 feet of any school and within the same distance of an interstate’s entries and exits. The Marconi tool lies within the designated breadths of all the specified spots, yet it acquired nonconforming status, meaning its Aug. ’67 mounting spared it from demolition yet not from the ban on any sort of tinkering, the latter a fact Tracy said Cipollini definitely knew upon purchasing it the following year.

“We have little to gain by expanding billboards,” she said Friday.

To promote his client’s interests, Pollock filed a zoning application with the Depart-

Keith Franchetti and Barbara Capozzi hope a two-decade-old ordinance spares them from having to see the background billboard from giving way to a monopole-aided half-digital replacement.

S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

ment of License and Inspections. Among many contentions, he posits numerous barriers along the Schuylkill Expressway and Walt Whitman approach block views of the sign, the 2,400 total square feet for the proposed double-sided construction mark the least minimum variance possible given the property’s circumstances and conditions and other construction’s obstructive nature and “a literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance will result in an unnecessary hardship.” That final belief especially riles Tracy.

“There is no hardship at all,” she said, adding a November visit to the site intensified her wish to have the City prohibit digital signs, as she fears electronic messages threaten drivers’ safety.

As Philadelphia is aiming to become America’s greenest city, she noted her agency studied costs and determined digital billboards use 40 times more energy than typical placards.

“We must come to a point where we have to say ‘Enough,’” she said.

Tracy, Capozzi and other personalities began their crusade a full month after Pollock had his request refused Oct. 18, as L&I cited the aforementioned stipulations for adding billboards. He appealed Nov. 16, receiving a Dec. 14 hearing that Capozzi had halted until two weeks from now. The real estate maven hopes her history of success battling potential builders will work against Cipollini. Four years ago, she and Tracy defeated the Kinderman family’s notion to place similar signs by its business, Kindy’s Factory Outlet Store, 2900 S. 20th St. The factors that doomed Kindy’s plans could prove Cipollini’s vanquishers. If her newest adversary were successful, however, she fears her first foe

might again apply for digital decor.

“Look at Philadelphia,” Capozzi said.

“It contains so much graffiti and so many empty lots. Billboards are akin to both, as they all lead to an area’s decline.”

THE PRESENT BILLBOARD offers a lesson on free speech and perhaps unintended diversity, as one side features an advertisement for the Franklin Institute’s dinosaur exhibit and the other promotes the Oasis Gentlemen’s Club. Though Cipollini owns it, Capozzi said many have believed Louis Galdo Sr., Galdo’s proprietor, oversees it. Galdo failed to respond to numerous inquiries on the signage matter, but Capozzi and other inhabitants within the Sports Complex Special Services District are more than making up for his silence.

Created 10 years ago, the district consists of four areas, with Capozzi heading District II. The billboard borders her expanse and Keith Franchetti’s District IV space, thus making its future an issue for two communities. Franchetti, of the 2900 block of South 17th Street, has engrossed himself in his first formal community battle because he cannot stand the thought of his neighborhoods’ aesthetics suffering.

“I remember telling my mother I would move to New Jersey and forget about this place,” he said of recollections of his area’s formerly lackluster identity.

He stayed and saw his territory thrive, evolving into a spot in which he feels vested. Cipollini has him committed to advocating for communal solidarity.

“Let’s see how he would like it if we were to put a sign in his neighborhood,” Franchetti said of the entrepreneur. “In the end, we have to ask if people like Cipollini are

beautifying areas, and the answer is ‘No.’ In fact, they are taking away from them.”

Tracy sides with Franchetti, who has fielded questions from neighbors on home values, and has information to solidify gripes on considering a change to the Marconi location. Her agency issued “Prosperity: The Economic Impact of Billboards on Real Estate” during the summer, which concluded all Philadelphia real estate purchased within 500 feet of a billboard had values $30,825 lower than other properties. It added each additional billboard in a census tract decreases home values by $947 for all property.

“This city must understand the expansive need for beauty,” Tracy said. “So many people work to improve their homes. Shouldn’t they have palaces outside, too?”

Capozzi ranks this situation among the fiercest in which she has participated and deems communal opposition the key to earning a victory.

“It does not take money to fight everything,” she said.

Tracy has interacted with Cipollini before, defeating him on some matters and losing to him on others.

“We are seeking fairness,” Pollock said of the upcoming community meeting. “At the very least, we will end up agreeing to disagree.”

Franchetti certainly will be eager to continue countering.

“I want whatever children I may have to enjoy the community,” he said. “I’ll fight this plan bare-knuckled.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

WIZARD OF OZ continued from page 1 dren,” Dr. Gail Avicolli, the charter’s principal, said via a release of her site’s annals, which include roles in “The Lion King” and “Scrooge.”

New York City’s Clemmons/Dewing Casting contacted Avicolli in November, with her pupils as the lone auditioning hopefuls. To preserve literary and cinematic traditions for diminutive frames, the agency sought figures less than five feet and weighing less than 100 pounds. Avicolli produced 20 bodies, with half earning the nod to greet Gale after her home lands on the Wicked Witch of the East. In-school singing tutelage and post-school dancing lessons prepped the thespians for their encounter with the affable adolescent.

“When I learned I would be in the show, I took it seriously but soon I freaked out, in a good way,” fourth-grader Rebecca Corosanite said post-performance of her uncontainable joy. “This has really been fun.”

A Packer Park resident, Rebecca joined with her peers — eight girls and one boy — in surrounding McNeill, who has played Gale since the national tour began Sept.

27 in Oklahoma. Baum crafted Munchkin County as Oz’s Eastern region, so the tiny presences showed eastern hospitality by bellowing “Munchkin Land,” an appreciative tune in which she receives thanks for eliminating the witch “so neatly.”

A rollicking “Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead” boosted the spectators’ adrenaline, as the vibrantly dressed munchkins flawlessly executed their choreography. Two trios delighted the audience with “The Lullaby League” and “The Lollypop Guild” before sending Gale off in pursuit of the titular character. The remainder of the first act let the local learners watch Gale, Toto and the duo’s triumvirate of likewise desirous friends ward off the schemes of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Intermission came after the gang made its way through the poppy field and advanced to the edges of the Emerald City.

Halfway finished their afternoon responsibilities, the South Philadelphia representatives prepared for their secondary roles as the winkies.

THE DAY’S PROGRAM estimated that Baum’s tale has entertained global audiences totaling more than one billion people. Many renditions have offered the lesson that the lure of home will always win no matter the joy in one’s adventures, but the 1939 film version has proven the most enthralling. Last week’s quartet of performances retained Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg’s songs and gave the children, both costumed and non-adorned, opportunities to join the cast members in voicing meritorious melodies.

“I’ve seen every version,” fifth-grader Madison Matteo said of her familiarity with Baum’s creation, one of 14 in the Oz collection.

The Packer Park resident expressed gratitude for the chance to entertain other children, especially considering that she, Rebecca and sixth-graders Amanda Jacobson and Christina Mattioli place the film version with Judy Garland as the wayward Kansas youth in their top-five lists of favorite movies. Madison takes dancing classes at Estilo Dance Company, 714 Reed St., so she seemed a perfect fit for pulling off the thumping “March of the Winkies,” complete with the infectious “Oh we oh, yo ho” chant.

The PPACS bunch showed its moves in the second act, as the Wicked Witch of the West waged ways to impede Gale and gain possession of the ruby slippers bestowed upon the girl by Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Her school helped Center City’s Academy of Music four years ago to stage the classic story of good versus evil and travel versus domesticity, so Madison wanted her and the others to prolong the piece’s history as a jewel for all ages.

“We seemed overwhelmed at first, but excitement took over,” Amanda, of the 1800 block of Shunk Street, said, Each PPACS student chooses an academic concentration following fifth grade, so she is enjoying her first year as a vocal major. The second half yielded few occasions for her to prove her pipes, but she reveled in each second.

“The hard work really pays off when we take our bows and hear the applause,” she said.

Amanda participated in the rousing climax during which Gale accidentally melts her adversary after the latter’s attempt to burn the Scarecrow. The patrons applauded

the special effects that enabled the evil figure to dissipate, and the area actors belted out a reprise of “Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead” before yielding to their co-stars for the final three scenes, including Gale’s reunion with the farmhands, Auntie Em and Uncle Henry.

“We were so excited to learn about the roles,” Christina said of their mid-November selection, “and our confidence grew with each rehearsal.”

The resident of the 1900 block of Schley Street donned her munchkin garb for the curtain call, with the audience offering exaltations. A dance major and student at DanceAdelphia, 1100 Snyder Ave., she so enjoyed marrying steps and notes that she admitted to falling in love with pretending.

“You come to think you’re a munchkin because it’s that much fun,” she said, adding that the children’s dressing room featured a “Proud to be a Munchkin” sign-in sheet.

Following the day’s first performance, the children relaxed and pondered their 7 p.m. duties, their last chance to hail the triumph of family and friends over isolation.

They are building momentum for their spring concert, which will contain ballet elements and popular music selections.

The Merriam Theater gig marked the first production for the enthusiastic legacy carriers and has given them exposure to the rigors of professional productions. Along with that grueling gift, it has bolstered their stage maturity.

“Performing gives us different ways to see ourselves,” Rebecca, a future dance major, said. “The ‘real you’ comes out.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

onight at 7, the Franklin Institute will host NatGeo WILD series “Philly Undercover” premiere party and screening.

The show supplies a behind-the-scenes look at the city combatting animal cruelty.

An episode focusing on a Grays Ferry dog fighting ring bust that netted 14 arrests on the 2600 block of Gerritt Street April 14, 2011 will air 9 p.m. Monday.

The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ undercover police team had been investigating Henry Beard, of the Northeast, for a few months.

When they learned he was allegedly conducting a dogfight, officers followed him to the Grays Ferry home where they arrested 14 men for cruelty to animals and criminal conspiracy. The organization must race to raid other involved properties and round up the abused dogs before the suspects could be released on bail.

Disaster preparation

T

he City will hold a series of meetings to receive feedback on the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan that the Managing Director’s Office of Emergency Management is developing.

The City will present the plan, which hopes to reduce or eliminate long-term risks to human life or property from natural disasters through cost-effective and sustained mitigation actions, 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Federation Housing Inc., Rieder House, 10102 Jamison Ave., in Northeast Philly.

“It’s important for us to hear about Philadelphians’ concerns about natural hazards that could impact their neighborhoods, so we welcome them to attend any of the upcoming meetings,” Deputy Managing Director for Emergency Management Liam O’Keefe said.

Additional public meetings include 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 24 at Mercy Eastwick Wellness Center, 2821 Island Ave., in Southwest Philly; 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 8 at Free Library of Philadelphia’s Central Branch, 1901 Vine St.; and 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 16 at Salvation Army Tabernacle Corps, 3150 N. Mascher St., in North Philly.

16 SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I January 5, 2012

A Girard Estate native founded a nonprofit that hopes to give struggling military vets the support network they need to succeed on home soil.

By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

C

ara Colantuono lost her grandfather Cpl. Andrew Colantuono Dec. 19. However, the 26-year-old knows she will be honoring his memory everyday, as she works to set up Support Homeless Veterans, which will provide housing and assistance for struggling former military members.

“We are looking to make our first house a dedication to him,” Colantuono said. “He gave a lot of clothing to the vets and he would talk with them, give them cards and stuff while he was sick. We had a whole military funeral for him. We’d call it Andy’s House or something. We don’t want to call this a recovery house — it’s not a rehab house. It’s a brotherhood, really.”

Colantuono is the founder, president and CEO of Support Homeless Veterans, a nonprofit she launched last September to provide support services and housing for chronic homeless, drug-addicted and recently relieved veterans.

“I have eight veterans currently living in a transitional housing facilities. We found that by using what the military uses, classical military camaraderie, using that and combining that with traumainformed care, we can create an environment for healing,” the resident of 19th and Ritner streets said. “We would like be able to house them in six months, to have our fully functioning home open.

“There are a lot of opportunities for people in the community to be a part of it as well.”

Lifestyles at supporthomelessveterans.org or mailed to headquarters at 1900 Fitzgerald St. — the organization is asking the community for everything and anything to get the first home up and running.

“Were looking to build a volunteer committee,” Colantuono said. “What can you do for homeless vets? You can draw some painting for the house. Can you play a musical instrument at one of our events?

Maybe you have a violin lying around and you could play.

“It’s like trading — when people don’t have money, that’s OK. You might have that old table you are going to stain and decorate with flags. There are so many things that people can do.”

While there is a year-round clothing drive, the nonprofit plans to host multiple events throughout the year to help raise awareness and funds. On the slate is a possible springtime run, as well as an alreadyscheduled care package giveaway.

“We have Code: Red, White and Blue in February. We are still looking, but hopefully it will be at Love Park. We will be giving care packages away to homeless veterans and we’ll need people helping with that,” she said of the Feb. 11 event.

THE GIRARD ESTATE native attended to St. Monica School, 16th and Porter streets,

and graduated from St. Maria Goretti, 1736 S. 10th St., in 2003.

“I knew. I really knew I wanted to do social work, really from the beginning,” Colantuono, who received her bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies from Penn State Brandywine and began working at PathWays PA, said.

Over the next few years, Colantuono worked in various social outreach positions while simultaneously pursuing a master’s degree in social work at Temple University. She graduated with a master’s in social work this year.

“I was working with a couple amputee veterans in the Salvation Army Reed House [1320 S. 32nd St.] and they asked about vet benefits so I gave a cold call to Impact Services,” Colantuono, who had worked with immigrants, women and children, said. “They have veteran transitional housing. They liked what I was saying and they basically hired me over the phone.”

Colantuono currently holds the same job as an intensive case manager with Impact Services Corp., a North Philly-based organization that serves those in need, such as ex-offenders and vets. Her Support Homeless Veterans work is done in addition to her full-time job.

“We do what we do here and it’s important but I’ve got these guys timing out of

the program and I’m like, ‘What am I going to do with you? Where can I put you?

I can’t put you by yourself because the suicide threat or psych evaluation,’” Colantuono said.

These pressures gave rise to her own organization, which hopes to provide a more stable and long-term solution for people that suffer from drug addiction or psychological trauma, as well as for the recently released.

“The quality of life is a really important part of what SHV is trying to bring back to these guys’ peace of mind,” she said.

“Other programs, they do a good job, but do they give quality of life?”

Colantuono hopes to bring quality of life — including a yard in a house in the Delaware Valley area, perhaps — and a brotherhood, which will help get struggling vets comfortable back on home soil.

“I have been working with the homeless population for five years now and for the last two years I’ve been working with homeless military veterans,” she said.

“Through my work with them I’ve been finding there’s a need that’s not really being addressed on a state or federal level and that is supporting and housing homeless vets with long-term addiction issues and long-term mental-health issues.”

Support Homeless Veterans hopes to fill this gap, and give many of those struggling

to find their way a support network to help illuminate the road. In addition to the clothing drive, Code: Red, White and Blue event and the possible spring run, Colantuono will be speaking at Drexel University’s upcoming Justice Week 6:30 p.m. Jan. 17. In an ongoing search, the organization is always looking for new energy to support the movement.

“We’re also looking for young students that want to learn about working with veterans — medical or social psychology, we’ll find a way to make it make sense,” she said. “I went to school for seven years now and I barely learned about veteran issues [until I researched it].”

While she encourages more community members to join the cause, Colantuono knows that her roots are the perfect upbringing for kick-starting the change she hopes to see in the world.

“Being from South Philly, I’ve always got something to say about something.

And social workers are always advocating for something, fighting for us,” Colantuono said. “You need some of that South Philly voice for the vets. That’s what South Philly brings — South Philly is a very close-knit community.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Idle thoughts or is it really 2012 already?

R

emember the good old days when a tomato tasted so good you called an attractive woman a tomato and meant it as a compliment? Those were the days my friend when one of the great joys in life was biting into a ripe, red tomato and feeling the juice drip down your chin.

In Barry Estabrook’s book “Tomatoland,” he explains the downfall of the storebought tomato.

Science and agri-business have teamed up to give us a tomato that couldn’t be distinguished from a potato in a blind taste, according to Eastabrook. And today’s tomato fails not only the taste test, but also miserably in the nutrition department since today’s tomatoes are raised to have a long shelf life.

Unfortunately, a long shelf life is obtained by a giving tomato plants a good dose of pesticides, herbicides and any other kind of “cide” you can think of. Most of the tomatoes, according to an article, Americans eat (other than in sauces) are grown in Florida.

The Sunshine State might be great for oranges, early-dinner specials, and college football, but not for tomatoes.

Luckily, we can get in-season Jersey tomatoes. But try to get a good tasting tomato the rest of the year and you’d have better odds on Andy Reid winning a Super Bowl. Estabrook claims you can get good out-of-season tomatoes at Whole Foods, both organic and regular. But more importantly, Whole Foods is a member of the Fair Food Campaign.

That means the worker (likely Hispanic) who picks your fruit gets treated fairly. The working conditions of migrant fruit pickers today are not a whole lot better than what John Steinbeck wrote about in “The Grapes of Wrath.” It might cost you more, but you’ll get a better tasting tomato that will do credit to the memory of Tom Joad.

If you have gotten this far and are wondering what’s the big deal about tomatoes, ask an Italian friend ...

In 2012, the Republicans finally will come up with their nominee to run against Barack Obama in November. One by one, Republican candidates, in my mind, have been eliminated for the wrong reasons.

Rick Perry fell by the wayside because he couldn’t remember the identity of the third federal department he wanted to eliminate.

When before a live audience, anyone can forget the most familiar name. Some years

ago I all of a sudden couldn’t remember the name of my co-host (John DeBella) sitting right next to me during an Eagles pregame broadcast. Perry should have been eliminated because Texas schools have gone from bad to worse on his watch.

Michele Bachmann faded, in part because she and her husband run thinks it can convert gays into heterosexuals (the 21st century version of alchemy whereas in in previous centuries, alchemists thought lead could be turned into gold).

She should have been eliminated because of her incredible lack of knowledge about American history.

Herman Cain didn’t make it to the finish line when his alleged mistress exposed his supposed 13-year affair, but Cain should’ve bit the dust when he revealed he couldn’t tell Libya from Egypt. If Newt Gingrich doesn’t reach the finish line it probably will be because he correctly criticized the idea that illegal immigrants could not be rounded up and sent back home unless resorting to Gestapo tactics, but he failed the presidential test, in my mind, because of his lack of ethics on and off the job.

Ron Paul, the current flavor of the month, won’t last because one can’t oppose an expanding military and remain a ’12 Republican in good standing. Paul‘s racist pamphlets in ’08 and his stated determination to return to the gold standard, eliminate the safety net and oppose any federal oversight over food, water and air should have eliminated him as a serious candidate.

If Mitt Romney doesn’t become the Republican nominee, it will be because his greatest accomplishment — reducing the number of uninsured in Massachusetts when he was governor — is an albatross around his neck in today’s Republican Party. As for Rick Santorum, his time never came, won’t and shouldn’t if only because he can’t distinguish yet between gay love and beastiality.

Here’s my analogy: The White House in ’12 is like the NFC East. It is up for grabs.

The Republicans are like the Eagles — not good enough to win a very winnable election against a very vulnerable president.

Locally, our residents have organized to fight the good fight against the encroachment of neighborhood crime and other bads that diminishes our community, such as MARCO’s current battle against the blight of increasingly obtrusive billboards (see the front page). It is encouraging to see so many dedicated adults banding together to preserve our neighborhoods, an example Packer Park Civic Association and other community groups have set. The fact that these organizations are uniting in a common cause lends great promise for the continued vibrancy of South Philly.

Looking forward to 2012. Hope you are, too. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Jolie’s directorial gem

Ajla (Zana Marjanovic), left, of Bosnia, who is taken captive “In the Land of Blood and Honey.” The war epic marks Angelina Jolie debut as a feature film director.

R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

A

ny time an established Hollywood star makes a film, one inevitably walks into it with a certain amount of skepticism. For every Clint Eastwood, there’s at least a handful of folks like Tom Hanks, who either shamelessly serve up vanity projects or simply can’t detach their celebrity from their behind-the-camera efforts. It’s truly extraordinary, then, that Angelina Jolie’s feature debut, the Bosnian War epic “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” doesn’t show a trace of Tinseltown compromise, and it certainly doesn’t read like the brainchild of an A-List actress. But, then, Jolie has never been your typical A-Lister anyway.

She gained superstardom largely for her preternatural beauty and her megawatt love life, but Jolie hasn’t seemed preoccupied with being among the world’s most famous entertainers. She rose in the business with a flair for rebellion, and she followed that with a privilege-supported interest in humanitarian causes. Both proclivities converge to great effect in “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” a violent, angry, yet sensitive and artful film that Jolie both wrote and directed. Featuring a cast comprised of Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Serbs, and released in the Balkan-region setting’s native language of Serbo-Croatian, the movie has virtually no concern for mass appeal. Awareness and indictment are its goals, along with its maker’s personal expression.

With the unflinching perspective of both a realist and a feminist, Jolie’s film homes in on the rape camps that were rampant during the Bosnian Serbs’ ethnic cleansing, which claimed the lives of thousands amid the 1990s conflict. A doomed love

story between a Muslim artist (Zana Marjanovic) and a Serb officer (Goran Kostic) lends intimacy to the widespread destruction, and speaks to the innocence and possibility so often killed by war.

The movie’s unbridled violence is sure to turn off some, and its pessimistic views don’t make for a happy aftertaste. But Jolie wonderfully succeeds in presenting her feelings on the devastation that can escalate under a lack of foreign intervention, and her message movie skirts insipid preachiness with its blunt approach, native truths, visceral action and authorial revelations.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark R Now Available In this creepy, crawly haunted house tale, little Sally (Bailee Madison) hears voices in the nooks and crannies of her father’s regal fixer-upper, and — you guessed it — the voices don’t just want to play beauty salon. Katie Holmes co-stars as Sally’s maternally-conflicted stepmom, who may just need to summon the powers of Scientology to save Sally’s soul from the film’s army of long-fingered rat-monkeys.

Sbraga

By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

M

id-November was a difficult time for me. I attended two memorial services, two days apart.

A friend and neighbor died suddenly at age 49, leaving a wife and two daughters, 13 and 17, and a mother of two died one day before her 42nd birthday.

Her service was held at the Gershman Y, 401 S. Broad St. Around 6:30 p.m., I crossed Broad for a meal I knew would lift my spirits. I urge you to book a table right away at Sbraga. Chef/owner Kevin Sbraga, the winner of “Top Chef” Washington, D.C., hails from Willingboro, N.J. He has worked in many fine establishments including Stephen Starr's Rats and is one of the most inventive and imaginative chefs cooking in the city.

I dined at the bar. Although I savored this dinner two months ago, I remember each delicious detail.

The four-course prix-fixe dinner is $45.

Wine pairings with each course are $30.

I began dinner with a piping hot-fromthe-oven jumbo Gruyère popover, which I slathered with soft butter.

Tender sweetbreads were served crispy with a scattering of capers. My second course consisted of a piece of immaculately fresh, seared and beautifully seasoned black cod with an Asian accent of bok choy and spicy kim chee. Next up, a rack of lamb arrived medium-rare as ordered.

For dessert, I felt transported back to Paris when I first tasted an apple millefeuille. The sweet was prepared with buttery puff pastry and served with whipped Coffee/Café/Sweets

cream and ice cream.

Late last month, my sister Sandy and I walked in the blustery cold to Sbraga for dinner. We were shown to a roomy table for two. I sat on the banquet, which afforded me a fine view of the open kitchen to watch Sbraga and his team work their culinary magic.

Tables were covered in white linen with black napkins. The lighting was soft and could have been a wee bit brighter. Multicolored wood columns divide the restaurant into dining areas.

The $45 menu included a number of new dishes for me. Sandy sipped a glass of white Bordeaux ($11) and I opted for a martini ($10). The popovers arrived and our beautifully orchestrated meal began.

A warm terrine of not-at-all bitter eggplant was layered with hints of black garlic and a touch of jalapeno pepper.

Sbraga’s brilliant touch was evident in foie gras soup, a velvety marvel of flavors and textures, which made it a most unique dish. I wiped the bowl clean with pieces of popover. I opted for the wine pairings and the course came with a sample of Domaine Francis Mure, Riesling, Alsace.

Sandy proclaimed her first taste of black cod to be perfect. She liked the bok choy's crispness but found the kim chee too spicy.

Sbraga’s twist on clams casino was a success. I received about a dozen littleneck clams, nestled in their shells, steamed with peppers, topped with crisp bacon and napped in a sea urchin butter

sauce. I can’t find the words to adequately describe this luscious creation. A sample of Cantina Terlan Pinot Blanco from Italy hit the mark.

Sandy’s sense of adventure rang true with tender meaty short ribs on a pool of creamy crema, which was outstanding. A lamb chop and portion of lamb belly was prepared rare to medium-rare and sous vide — a first for me — hit the mark.

As we waited for dessert, we received complimentary scoops of rich, homemade vanilla ice cream with a scattering of pomegranate seeds.

Apple strudel — about as fine as my grandmother’s — and a bowl of ice cream with a rich, dark and delicious hot fudge sauce ended one of the finest meals in re-

■ Tagine of Butternut Squash ■ Ingredients: 2 4 1 2

tablespoons of unsalted butter tablespoons of olive oil large onion, diced large butternut squash, peeled and diced 2 large red potatoes, diced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon of ground cumin 4 fat cloves of garlic, sliced 1 cinnamon stick 1 15-ounce can of diced tomatoes with their juice

Note from Phyllis: You can garnish the tagine with chopped fresh parsley or mint leaves. Pass yogurt and almonds at the table.

■ Shrimp Piri Piri ■ Ingredients:

3 jalapeno peppers, roasted in the oven, seeded and sliced 4 fat cloves of garlic

Directions: Place the peppers, garlic, lemon juice and paprika in a blender and whirl until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the oil and blend until smooth.

Place the shrimp in a non-reactive bowl. Pour on the marinade. Toss well so the shrimp are well-coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for about two hours or overnight. If so, cover and store in the refrigerator.

Heat a 12-inch skillet over mediumhigh. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sauté them for about one minute on each side. You can add the salt while you sauté the shrimp.

Place the shrimp in a pretty serving bowl and garnish with the cilantro. Serve over steamed rice.

Serves four.

Note from Phyllis: I always buy wild caught shrimp from the Carolinas at Whole Foods when they are on sale. The fishmonger wraps them in 1-pound packages for the freezer. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

t’s a new year and we’re all a year older. We indulged in rich foods, cookies, chocolates, several serving of pie with ice cream. One night I made hot fudge sauce from scratch for ice cream sundaes with lots of whipped cream.

The TV ads for weight-loss programs have been airing since Halloween. These shenanigans are not worth their weight in kosher salt. I recently saw a nutritionist who proclaimed the average American only gains one pound during the holiday season.

That said, it’s now time to cure the January blahs with some good stick-to-yourribs, down-home, comfort food. One dish is Moroccan vegetarian, the other salutes shrimp in a spicy Spanish way.

“Ask Aida” is a favorite of mine. The program airs on the Cooking Channel and I often get ideas from watching Aida Mollenkamp, who graduated from Cornell University and Le Cordon Bleu. Noah Starr, her techie sidekick, is an adorable boychick who will eat anything. He fields questions from viewers and sometimes

Directions: Melt the butter and oil over mediumhigh heat in a 4-quart pot. Add the onions and sauté for about five minutes. Add the squash, potatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and cinnamon stick and sauté for about eight minutes. Lower the heat to mediumhigh if the onion starts to brown.

Add the remaining ingredients, bring the contents of the pot to a boil, lower to a simmer, place the lid askew and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the squash and potatoes are fork tender.

Serve over couscous.

Serves four to six.

brings Mollenkamp an unusual culinary contraption for her to identify.

A recent show featured a Tagine prepared with Butternut Squash and aromatic spices and Shrimp Piri Piri, which Mollenkamp first tasted in Spain. The tagine is served over couscous while the shrimp dish is served over steamed white rice.

Both dishes are light and comforting.

You never said “I’m leaving” You never said “goodbye” You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why.

There are no words to tell you Just what I feel inside The shock, the hurt, the anger Might gradually subside A million times I’ll need you A million times I’ll cry If Love alone could have saved you You never would have died In Life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place That no one could ever fill It broke my heart to loose you But you didn’t go alone For part of me went with you The day God took you home Things will never be the same And all though it hurts so bad I will smile whenever I hear your name And be proud you were my Dad.

Forever our love, Your son Philip, daughter Susan, grandchildren Joseph, Frankie & Philip

ObituariesMaryObituaries Conway Gino Gaetano PaPola

september 8, 1920

Gino Gaetano Papola, M.D .was born in South Philadelphia on September 8, 1920, the eldest son of Gino A. and Raffaela (DiSilvestro) of whom immigrated in 1909 from L’Aquila Abruzzi, Italy.

He attended South Philadelphia High School and Temple University before graduating in 1944 from Temple University School of Medicine. He enjoyed his summers working in Seaside, NJ with his brothers Joseph (1987), John (1983) and Alfred.

He married my mother Marie (DeStefano) in 1944 and together had Anita, Gino, Frank and myself.

My father served as Captain in the US Army before moving to his home and office on Englewood Road in Upper Darby. His dear cousin John DiSilvestro, Jr., M.D. was his mentor in adult medicine when he joined the medical staff at St. Agnes Hospital in 1952. He spent the next 50 plus years serving his native medical community while still having evening office hours three times a week in Delaware County.

Two years after my mother’s untimely death on Christmas Eve, December 24,1959, he married Mary Longo Papola, M.D. in 1961, also on staff at St. Agnes Hospital.

Dad had a busy medical practice, working all hours of the day and night. He still found the time to be long time Director of the St. Agnes School of Nursing and countless gratis administrative and clinical roles. In 1996 after 44 years on staff, he was given The St. Agnes

d e c e m b e r 24 , 2 0 1 1

Achievement Award for Excellence and Dedicated Service. Dad also was President of the Medical Staff and served on its Board and numerous committees.

Early in his medical career, he became a member of The National Federation of Catholic Physicians.

His energetic involvement led him to become President in 1970.

He was an early vital member of the Pro-Life Society and lectured both locally and nationally on the sanctity of life that begins at conception. This spare-time-career became international. He was elected two term President of the International Association of Catholic Physicians aka FIAMC (Fédération Internationale des Associations Médicales Catholiques), and travelled the world with my new mom for thirty plus years, lecturing, debating and writing medical ethics in everyday practice. He befriended countless dignitaries and clergy in his travels including Mother Teresa. Leading the Delegation of Physicians in Rome on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on February 11, 2000, he received communion from Pope John Paul II. The highest honor given to a nonclergy is the Knighthood of St. Gregory. He was knighted by Pope Paul VI and knighted again by Pope John Paul II. Dad was a family man and loving father. He was a Sunday lectern for mass at Annunciation Church, active in the Knights of Columbus and a Eucharistic minister for Saint John Neumann Parish, weekly visiting the

sick. He was an American historian, book collector and a perpetual student of our founding fathers and Abraham Lincoln.

3-20-25 • 1-8-92

20th Year Anniversary

He was a proud fluent, bilingual Italian-American. He loved and frequently visited his cousins in Italy. He loved photography, political debate, economics, and was a scout assistant and camper with his boys.

He was Anita’s shinning knight, long before the Popes knighted him.

Most importantly he was a loving caring Grandpop to eleven grandchildren and Great Grandpop to thirteen great grandchildren.

He was blessed with the mutual love of his family, friends, patients, colleagues, and clergy.

His final years brought great suffering but he never complained, “No problem” was his favorite response. His only concern was the future for his family. He taught us how to live, love and how to die.

He passed on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2011, exactly 52 years after my mother’s death, almost the same hour, in peace with his children at his side. To a life well lived, BRAVO DAD! In lieu of flowers donations to St. John Neumann Church 330 Highland Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA, 19010, would be appreciated.

Husky proposition

A West Passyunk girls’ basketball squad again looks to be the Public League’s team to beat.

By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

T

Ashley Logue led the sharpshooters.

“We don’t want to dwell on our loss,” Nimmons said of Dec. 28’s 52-51 setback against Washington Township.

She deposited 13 points while Copper compiled a double-double of 34 points and 22 rebounds. Copper’s failed game-winning shot attempt placed the Huskies in Dec. 29’s consolation game against Berks Catholic. The nail-biter netted them a 7170 victory, with Copper notching 26 points while Nimmons and Cryor contributed 18 points apiece.

“The team seems hungrier this year,” Logue said. “We have unfinished business.”

THE ATHLETES BEGAN to address incomplete matters with the thrashings of the aforementioned Public League foes. Overmatched hosts, Franklin failed to score in the first quarter and outscored their guests only in the fourth quarter, by which time Rieser had emptied his bench.

The treatment of Lower Moyamensing’s Rams was harsher, as the Huskies blanked their visitors in the first and final frames.

“We respect Public League opposition greatly, but we are looking forward to later in the year,” Logue said.

Copper, who committed to Rutgers, has aimed to bolster last year’s averages of 17.5 points and 14.3 rebounds. She has made her teammates fortune seekers, as Tuesday’s pre-practice discussions centered on peaking in February and March.

India Cauley, front, from left, Ciani Cryor, Ciera Nimmons, Ashley Logue, back, from left, and Kahleah Copper hope to have wider smiles when winter winds down and yields to spring. Last season they earned 25 wins, including three state playoff victories.

S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

“We are maturing on and off the court,” Nimmons, said of finding enough resolve to acquire their ultimate goal — the state crown.

A female Nostradamus, Logue foresees tussling with Warminster’s Archbishop Wood shortly before the state playoffs for the City championship. The parochial players denied the Huskies the local title March 4 with a 44-34 win and again bewildered them March 23, inflicting a 4127 defeat in the state bracket.

Logue expects to face Wood at least once yet would not mind giving their nemesis multiple losses. The players are eagerness to battle Cardinal O’Hara Jan. 29, a game that could serve as a warm-up for any matchup with Wood, as the Springfield school enjoys stretching the court, too. Regardless of the competition, Cryor enjoyed being the Huskies’ spokesperson Tuesday.

“We want to win states,” she said. “We have the drive to do it this year.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

S O U T h p h illyreview . c o m 3 1

dividends. The Southwest Philadelphia resident dealt out eight assists and amassed as many steals.

“That game stands out,” she said before Tuesday’s practice. “It helped us come together as a young team.”

Cryor and North Philadelphia’s Copper, the most valuable player of the Public League title game, led the destruction of Maryland’s Annapolis Christian Charter the next day. Copper registered 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Cryor added 11 points in a 53-25 win.

The title duel against Ohio’s Lancaster High School let the Huskies show they are far more than a two-trick pony. Copper performed exceptionally with 21 points and 12 rebounds, tallies that won her the MVP, and Cryor played airtight defense, with sophomores India Cauley and Ciera Nimmons creating a quartet of problems.

A Southwest dweller, guard/forward Cauley dropped 11 points and 10 rebounds, with Northeast’s Nimmons, another guard, knocking down four three-pointers in the 58-47 game.

“We are looking to become a very good team,” Cauley said.

The program’s annals lured her and Nimmons, who lauded Rieser for his guidance.

The youngsters needed to adapt to time away from their leader in their next jaunt to the Wildwoods Convention Center for the Boardwalk Classic. Rieser’s father-inlaw died Dec. 26, so second-year assistant

he ladies lacing up their basketball sneakers for Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., must adjust to the role of the hunted this season. The reigning Public League champions, the West Passyunk-based wizards appear equipped to frustrate foes again, as they entered yesterday’s league home clash against University City, which started after press time, with a 6-1 record. Their triumphs include four wins in holiday tournaments, with the victories further proving coach Paul Rieser’s ability to retool his rosters after losing stars to graduation.

Four such players, including Tiffany Johnson, the Markward Club’s Public League Player of the Year, departed in June after guiding the Huskies to 25 wins from 28 games. Their best conquest came Feb. 26 when they exacted revenge for two title game losses by dumping Central, 4939, at Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Runner-up designation in the District 12 Class AAA City championship and a semifinal run in the PIAA Class AAA tournament rounded out the campaign.

“Last year was remarkable but we are looking to top it,” Rieser said via phone Dec. 20 from Lake Buena Vista, Fla., where his charges captured the KSA Tournament.

They could have had a miserable stay if not for second-half heroics Dec. 19 in their opening tilt against Kentucky’s Anderson County. The Huskies trailed 20-7 after the first quarter, with their defense yielding more points in eight minutes than they had in their first two contests, Dec. 12’s 62-18 road annihilation of Benjamin Franklin and Dec. 16’s 57-13 home slaughter of Southern, 2101 S. Broad St. They escaped with a 55-50 win, as forward and Rutgers University signee Kahleah Copper scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. While her senior leadership proved vital, the composure of freshman guard Ciani Cryor helped Rieser to know his youth movement will pay continuous
