few weeks ago, Judy Cerrone was watching the local news when Mayor Michael Nutter and Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey were on and Nutter announced two districts in the South Police Division would become one. To her shock, she learned the affected were her 4th and the 3rd — two districts housed in the same building at 11th and Wharton streets. Cerrone and others say they feel left out of the information loop, having only heard about the merger through the ruSee POLICE DISTRICTS page 11

alph Toussaint is the only Haitian at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., so when it came time to pick a senior project, which consists of volunteer work and a research paper, his English teacher, Barbara Keating, of Seventh and Cross streets, suggested he focus on his ethnicity. That was before the devastating, 7.0magnitude earthquake struck Haiti Jan.

12, killing more than 150,000. Prior to the earthquake, Toussaint was not sure how to complete the volunteer aspect of his project, but now he is collecting donations for the American Red Cross from his peers to serve his native country. “It’s generated a nice buzz,” Keating, an 11th-grade English teacher, said. “[The students] are understanding it better thanks to this.” Toussaint was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital, where his mother Ghis-

laine Casseus and brother Ketler Casseus, 28, still reside. His father, Duval Toussaint, has lived in Philly for seven years and brought him and his sister, Nastatja Toussaint, 22, to West Philadelphia to live with him three years ago. “When I first heard about the earthquake, I was scared because I still have family in Haiti,” Ralph said. “I can’t protect them. I cannot call because there is no communication.” See HAITI page 8

What happened? To the Editor: I’m sitting here reading the Review’s “Police Report” (Jan. 21) and the incidents described would be entirely incomprehensible 35 years ago. Although many may have been lulled in to an apathetic haze of an “oh well, what can you do?” posture, apparently I still have have enough Alpha, Beta and Theta brain waves left to remember and thus provoke me into writing this letter. I can recall the basic nature and number of the stories that appeared on the page some 35 years ago. What happened to Philly? More importantly, what has happened to South Philly? I think it would be really interesting to do a side-by-side comparison of the “Police Report” today versus how it appeared, say 35 or 40 years ago. Of course, the exact dates would not correspond, but you could get close enough. I’m sure that you must have access to the older archives and I’m sure that there are some readers who still have the originals somewhere. I’m not looking back wistfully nostalgic nor yearning for the good ol’ days. I have no delusions that the past was perfect. This was always a rough and tumble section, lots of scrappin’ and fightin’, but the nature and viciousness of the crimes we see now was not equaled in years past. It was always tough here, but there was always a sense of safety too, especially for the women and children. What happened? P. Scanna South Philadelphia

Looking for a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t To the Editor: I am in shock! I know the police are under a lot of pressure due to the recent killings of other police, but they have a very nasty attitude lately. I was on a walk and I saw a older gentleman in his car that broke down. He was trying everything to get his car to move. Three cars back was a cop with another in the wagon. Instead of going to see if the man was OK, she started screaming nasty stuff

at him, so unprofessional, and I have witnessed with my own eyes and ears how nasty they are speaking to people. I live in South Philly and I know they have to watch their backs, but get real. They speak to victims as if they are criminals. During New Year’s Day, I was on Broad Street watching the parade in Center City and I saw a 5-year-old say “Happy New Year” to a young cop. He gave her a nasty look and never replied. I was raised to respect the men in blue, but let’s face it, they don’t respect no one nowadays and that’s just wrong. What ever happen to give respect get respect. I understand they are in a dangerous job, but when it comes to their people skills lately, I think they failed that course. I think the mayor needs to do a check on attitudes and if they don’t want to change then leave the force. There are more qualified people out there for the job that won’t disrespect the public. We all know there are a lot of criminals out there, but believe me when I say there are a lot more good, upstanding people left in South Philly. S. Coyle South Philadelphia

Restoring the framework To the Editor: For some time in our nation, a disease has been growing within the federal government. Nothing less can be said when half of the justices on the Supreme Court take the oath, swearing to defend and protect our Constitution in truth, with loyalty, heart, mind and body, and the other half swears the same oath falsely with their fingers crossed behind their back. Their intent is to deconstruct the Constitution at every opportunity. The Constitution is the law of the land and common sense tells us that we should not have persons on the Supreme Court who mean to violate and harm the Constitution. The purpose of the oath is to protect and defend the Constitution. That the Constitution must be adhered to is not a matter for debate; without the Constitution, we have tyranny.

An immoral and dishonest Court will not apply the Constitution in its intent as written to an appeal, which is the function of the Supreme Court. The Court’s function is not to decide justice. To decide justice is the function of the lawmakers. The Constitution is applied to a law to determine the law’s constitutionality, not whether the law is just or unjust. Our election process must be secured to assure our Constitution is not laid defenseless to them who would bring down our nation by assaulting the Constitution, which is the framework of law that binds our nation together. Our nation will die of lies, deceit and dishonesty. George Washington and John Adams, in each their own statement, made it emphatically clear our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people, that our Constitution, said Adams, “is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Washington said, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens.” Americans must work to restore our nation and government to moral and religious health and to ensure that those to whom the lie is regarded in the same manner as the truth and to whom God has no basis in our lives and our government do not govern our lives and our governments. Alfred Essex South Philadelphia

Outside in To the Editor: As a former Philadelphian who left in 1962, I am appalled by the treatment Asian students are receiving at Southern High. Should I say that school has been plagued with a bad reputation even when I was in high school from ’53 to ’57. I did not attend that school,

Letters but we knew to stay away from anyone that did. How can this intolerance go on? Asians are a very cultured, peaceful people. They are also exemplary students. Get rid of the ilk that is causing this problem. Philadelphians, especially South Philadelphians, always had a provincial way of thinking and it looks as if it is carried out in the students that attend Southern. It is not only a filthy, dirty area, but also filled with biases against anyone that looks different. Barbara Pellicane Bayside, N.Y.

Budget proposal To the Editor: Thanks to Lorraine Gennaro for her great report on the recent performances by some talented Philadelphia students (“He’s the Boss,” Jan. 21). It is so wonderful to see what money can buy! The students of Northeast, Furness and George Washington high schools, who are performing in Tony Danza’s reality show “Teach” and/or his musical “ExtravaDanza!” are fortunate. They auditioned and were accepted for this special project produced by A&E. What occurs to me is how fantastic it

would be if all the public schools in Philadelphia had access to the same investment in the arts that Danza is providing these three schools with outside money. There are so many gifted students who are missing similar opportunities because it is not in the budget. It needs to change. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia

Jan. 21

To the Editor: I’ve lived in South Philly all my life and for past 11 years in the Pennsport neighborhood. I love it here and believe I chose wisely. The one thing that bothers me, and I feel compelled to write about it, is dog owners, specifically those around the Pennsport Mall area. People have been allowing their dogs to defecate and not pick it up. Just because there’s grass? It’s disgusting and unhealthy and illegal and bothers the h*** out of me. The people on the 200 blocks of McClellan and Moore streets should be outraged. So where is the Pennsport pride? Eileen Carey South Philadelphia

greater. The survivors, I’m predicting, will witness this rebirth. Thanks to the efforts of two Pennsylvanians and state legislators, 53 Haitian children are getting a shot at normalcy. I initially saw the report on “Anderson Cooper 360,” which highlighted two sisters from the Pittsburgh area who have devoted their lives to a Haitian orphanage. While being interviewed, they sat outside their orphanage — the structure in shambles and on the verge of imminent collapse. The group had to sleep outside since they had no place else to go. The children were in the final stages of the adoption process when the earthquake hit. Pennsylvania officials had a hand in relocating the group to the States, where they will be placed in foster care while their adoptions are finalized. The families of two daughters also spread the word about the orphanage’s plight using social networking sites. Proof positive the squeaky wheel gets the oil — and that acts of humanity exist in many forms. SPR

here are some things I’ll never understand. For instance, I’ll never comprehend why an already-impoverished country like Haiti suffered another devastating blow. As if their lives weren’t hard enough, the Earth decides to shake for a few moments and bring many of the living perilously close to death. Others suffered a more devastating fate. My optimistic mind tells me the loss of life will not be forgotten or reduced to a blurb in humanity’s history. I’m hoping the country can resurrect itself into something

Capping off the afternoon A woman allegedly threatened to slit a man’s throat if he didn’t return her hat. Eugenia Drake, 52, from the 2300 block of South 23rd Street, was charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person in the 12:18 p.m. Jan. 22 incident. Investigators don’t know the nature of the relationship between the two, but Drake is believed to have visited the 47-year-old on the 1500 block of South Opal Street and, when he answered the door, pulled a knife and issued the threat, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The woman fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction, but the man called the cops, who stopped her a short while later on the 1900 block of Tasker Street in Point Breeze. A kitchen knife with a black handle was recovered on Drake’s person, police said.

Left in critical condition A 19-year-old suffered multiple wounds to his chest in a Point Breeze shooting.

By Lorraine Gennaro R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

etectives are hunting for whoever gunned down a 19-year-old on a Point Breeze street, leaving him critically wounded. Shortly after 1:30 a.m. Sunday, officers responding to a report of a shooting found the teen with multiple wounds to his chest, laying in the middle of the 1400 block of Ellsworth Street. Police transported him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition. At press time, detectives had no motive or suspects. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Two charged in stabbing Two women were taken into custody shortly after police said they got into a fight with a 20-year-old and stabbed her in Point Breeze. The incident began at 1:48 p.m. Jan. 21 on the 1600 block of South Ringgold Street. Nicole Wylie, 25, from the above block, and Antuanette Reid, 23, from the 500 block of Moore Street, each were charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, burglary and criminal mischief. The two are accused of knocking on the 20-year-old’s door, saying they wanted to fight her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The victim closed the door on them only to have Wylie hurl a brick through a front window, police said. When the 20-year-old came outside, Reid is accused of taking a steak knife off her person and stabbing the victim twice in the right hand and once in the back. The suspects ran after the alleged attack and were last seen going east on Ringgold. The victim called police, who rounded up the suspects a short time later in the area. The victim went to HUP via medic in stable condition. Police don’t know why the two wanted to pick a fight with the victim.

Arrest in December shooting A 25-year-old has been charged with attempted murder and related offenses in connection to a Dec. 23 shooting where he allegedly shot his girlfriend’s brother.

Dwaine Hughes, aka Aleem Hughes from the 2000 block of South Bonsall Street, surrendered to police 9:30 a.m. Jan. 7 and was charged with — in addition to attempted murder — criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, carrying a firearm on the street and carrying without a license. At 7:53 p.m., police responding to a report of a shooting on the 1300 block of South 17th Street found a 20-year-old with a gunshot to his upper right leg, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The victim was taken to HUP in serious condition, where he told cops he was arguing with his sister over food and money. The dispute spilled into the street, where Hughes pulled up in his silver 2002 Lincoln sedan and allegedly shot the victim from inside the vehicle, Tolliver said. Hughes fled the scene, but police issued a warrant for his arrest about five days later when they recovered the unoccupied Lincoln, Tolliver said.

Insult to injury Two muggers stuck a knife in a man’s throat and ordered him to undress and give up his money. The bizarre incident happened at about 3:15 a.m. Sunday as the victim was walking to a friend’s house on the 2800 block of Cantrell Street. The perpetrators approached the victim from behind and forced him to remove his clothes at knifepoint, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. With his pants off as ordered, he was cut on the right hand when he attempted to run while removing his shirt, Tolliver said. The victim was able to flee from his attackers and call police. A medic took the 28-year-old to Methodist Hospital, where he needed three stitches to close the hand wound. The victim was unable to provide police with any description of the offenders. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Unknown object in the back While walking on the 800 block of West Moyamensing Avenue Sunday night, a 30-year-old was mugged of $55 and his Samsung cellphone. A man approached the victim from behind at about 11:40 p.m., stuck an uncontinued on page 8

continued from page 1 His mother and sibling survived, but his brother, who is in his final year of studies at a private univeristy in the capital city, stepped out of class to buy a bottle of water and came face-to-face with the devastation to come. Outside, he felt the ground shake, Toussaint said, and “he turned around and saw the school going down. “My brother could not speak for three days.” Many who were inside the school did not survive. Since Jan. 19, the senior has traveled throughout Southern, visiting classrooms during morning advisory, and will continue to do so until tomorrow. He explains the situation to his classmates and accepts donations of any amount. As of press time, he had raised about $240. “Nobody can do everything, but anyone can do something,” the 19-year-old said. He even shows classmates a news photo he found that shows 500 people dead in Port-au-Prince with one man looking for his family in the midst of the devastation. “When I look at the image, it’s eating me alive,” he said. Toussaint hopes his peers as well as his own, contributions will make a difference. “It’s not going to be too much, but it can buy water, blankets or whatever and it can help,” he said. However, whatever Toussaint raises will be doubled thanks to Keating, who has secured Karen Mara and Associates, a Wayne-based legal and consulting service firm, to match the total collection. “I was happy because I’m willing to do anything to help my country,” he said of the match. “When I look at the news, I feel [my] heart breaking.” ELSEWHERE, LOCAL BUSINESSES are lending support to the cause, even those who do not know anyone directly affected. “I would watch the news every night on CNN and just cry,” Elena Brennan, owner of Bus Stop Boutique, 727 S. Fourth St., said. “I just felt helpless. I have to do something to help the unfortunate in Haiti because the relief effort is so slow. I thought collecting money would be the best.” Brennan is holding the boutique’s firstever warehouse sale through Sunday, selling mostly designer winter shoes for up to 75-percent off with a yet-to-be-determined portion going to the Red Cross, which has been providing medical support to about 500 people a day, in addition to purifying the country’s water and distributing it to 400,000 people each day. The earthquake inspired her to quickly

set up the effort at a vacant nearby fabric shop, at 750 S. Fourth. A donation box also will be on hand for those who wish to give more. “I think it’s important to give back and it’s important to give to those in need right now,” she said. “With the economy and recession, a lot of people are suffering, but not like those in Haiti, who have lost everything.” Colleen DeCesare, co-owner of Passyunk’s Black N Brew with Jennifer Kaufman, held its fundraising Jan. 16 and 17, raising about $400 for the Red Cross. “What was going on in Haiti is awful, so we wanted to do what we could to help,” DeCesare said. An alum of the Institute Integrative Nutrition, which teaches holistic nutrition education, DeCesare received an e-mail from her New York City-based alma mater saying for any employees or alumni who raise money for the Red Cross, the school

would match the amount. “Right away I was like, ‘OK, cool. We’re going to do something at the shop,’” she said. The establishment at 1523 E. Passyunk Ave. donated 5 percent of its sales that weekend, plus customer donations. The total donation was $800, including the school’s portion. “You got to do something,” she said. “Times are tough for everyone here, but c’mon, what’s going on there is totally different.” A few blocks away, the owners of Isabella Pizza, 1824 E. Passyunk, continued their trend of helping out as they’ve done in the past through donated meals and discounts to schools. “When I watched the news and I saw the children and the people, I thought that I had to do something,” Michal Martorano, who co-owns the shop with ex-husband Steven Martorano, said. Isabella began accepting donations, as well as giving 5 percent of its sales to the Red Cross, Jan. 15, and will continue to do so through the weekend. Those who donate will receive a free fountain soda. The

establishment had raised about $2,500 as of press time. “I feel like we have the opportunity to give back and make a difference,” she said, adding she hopes the funds can help supply medical equipment, food and water. To give back and make a difference almost 1,500 miles away, feels great, Michal said. “We’re all part of the world,” she added. “Because we’re lucky, we’re all doing well. It’s just our duty to give back.” Wake Up Yoga South at 1839 E. Passyunk will hold “A Profound Act of Love” with a variety of events Feb. 13. All profits from that day will go to Haitian relief efforts. Back in 2004 and ’05, the studio headed a similar cause when the tsunami hit countries such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India, Director Corina Benner said. “We raised almost $5,000, which was really so phenomenal. When this started unfolding, I just really thought things are happening and are so far away,” she said. “You feel so helpless.” She decided to offer yoga as a way to aid those in need, but was unsure where to donate the funds. Every penny collected at all three of the studios, including its Fairmount and West Philadelphia branches, that Saturday will go to Partners in Health, which provides health care to people in countries such as Peru, Rwanda, Haiti and the United States. Roosevelt Maitre, who is the husband of Wake Up teacher-trainee Dede, has relatives in Haiti, Benner said. The couple has been raising funds for Partners in Health and Benner decided to add the studio to that effort. “Everything we’re raising we’re donating in their honor,” she said. Wake Up will hold three classes that afternoon: Family yoga will kick off the day at 3 p.m., followed by “A Heart Opening Yoga” at 4:30 and “Food for the Heart” at 6. Each has a suggested donation of $10. In addition, the studio has been gathering raffle prizes such as theater tickets, massages and handmade Haitian crafts with the winners being picked Feb. 13. Tickets go on sale this week for $10. Benner is hopeful the funds not only will help those in need now, but provide for continued well-being in the country. “As a yoga studio and yoga community, we breathe the same air, we drink the same water,” she said. “Suffering — it’s not like you can avoid difficulty. You have to help people. Helping other people is perhaps the reason we all exist.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Amanda Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

Fumo friend gets probation A onetime cronie of former state Sen. Vince Fumo was sentenced in federal court Monday to five years probation in connection to a Senate contract that paid him $287,000, but, according to prosecutors, did not involve any work. Michael Palermo, 69, of Northeast Philadelphia, was ordered to serve the first year of probation under house arrest and wear an electronic bracelet, according to court records. The defendant also must perform 250 hours of community service and pay a fine of $25,000. Palermo pleaded guilty to mail-fraud conspiracy in October. According to court records, the nowjailed Fumo awarded Palermo Senate Appropriations Committee contracts between 1999 and 2004 that netted Palermo $45,000 to $66,000 a year. The Feds claim the contracts were phony and Palermo did no work. Fumo was the committee’s Democratic chairman from ’84 through ’07.

Happening in stages

A local theater company is enjoying its new studio space that will double as a small performance venue. By Lorraine Gennaro R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

FIRST THOUGH, THERE’S some minor zoning issues to deal with. In June, the Passyunk Square Civic Association granted zoning approval from commercial to public performance. A month later, the city OKed temporary zoning for public performance for 50 to 75 people. Part of the stipulation was the group could not charge for performances until it got final approval, pending some interior electrical work, Canuso said, adding he’s in the process of bringing the place up to code. The space is equipped with two entrances/exits, as well as a bathroom. “Everything was already in code so we didn’t really have to change anything,” he said. By summer, Canuso hopes to start putting on small theatre productions and is considering taking up Columbus Square Advisory Council Vice President Ilene Wilder on her request for theater in the park — Columbus Square Park located across the street from Studio X. “That was the first thing I asked them,” she said with a laugh. A former dancer whose husband is an artist, Wilder resides two doors down

from the facility and said she’s all for supporting the arts. Wilder and some of the other neighbors displayed their enthusiasm for the new group by attending the Passyunk zoning meeting to support Canuso, a Villanova University theater grad. “We have a very emerging neighborhood with young professionals moving in, young families with children who appreciate exposing their children to arts and culture,” Wilder said. “I think having a theater group in the midst of this is delightful. I think there is a general sense in the neighborhood that it’s a cool thing to have a theater right in your neighborhood. What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. It makes it vibrant.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Lorraine Gennaro at lgennaro@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news/ features.

“It was standing room only,” Canuso said. Arden Kass’ “Dreamland” is the next reading on Feb. 15. “It’s very helpful for the playwright if they feel the piece needs some help and more work, and also, the response from the audience as to what is working and what is not working. It’s an opportunity for them to try out their work. In that way, we feel we are doing a service for them,” the artistic director said. By summer, Canuso said he hopes to bring in small theater productions with scaled-down sets because of the limited space, but still fully produced. Looking toward fall, he has his sights set on September’s Fringe Festival. “We’re hoping to do a small Fringe show in here,” he said. State grant money will help divvy up the space that he describes as “raw” at the moment. “That’s going to help as far as what we’re going to do in there,” Canuso said. Some of the money will be used to put in a second bathroom, bring in permanent risers for seating and get a better lighting system for stage performance.

Theatre Exile’s ofﬁces and rehearsal space at 13th and Reed streets also will serve as a community venue for theater productions, readings and workshops.

n recent years, the Passyunk Square neighborhood has been infiltrated with young artists and other creative types laying down stakes alongside established seniors and families. So in late 2008, when Joe Canuso, Producing Artistic Director and actor for Theatre Exile, was looking for a multipurpose office and studio space, he fell in love with a former garage at 13th and Reed streets — located within walking distance to his Queen Village residence. “It was perfect for us. It’s exactly what we were looking for. It fit our price range and it’s in South Philly,” he said. “The nice thing about it is there are so many artists who are moving into this neighborhood. Having this space here with all the artists who can walk or bike here, makes it simpatico. “I don’t think we could have found a better location than this. Being in this neighborhood has been a joy.” Now a year after taking up shop, the 113,024-square-foot Studio X is up and running, serving as Theatre Exile’s rehearsal studio and where props also are built for their productions at The Plays and Players Theater, 1714 Delancey St. The cast for “Any Given Monday,” which debuts at Plays and Players Feb. 4 and runs through Feb. 28, is currently using the space. Written by South Philadephia’s Bruce Graham (“The Philly Fan”), the play is about a man named Lenny, played by Canuso, who’s not having a good Monday — his two least favorite football teams are playing, his daughter is having a crisis of faith and his wife has left him for some jerk who builds Wal-Marts. “It’s definitely a luxury to have your own rehearsal space. Having your own space makes things a lot easier for us,” Canuso said. The first public performance at Studio X took place Jan. 18 and was part of the company’s five-part Reading Series where Philadelphia playwrights reveal their works before an audience then get feedback — kind of like test marketing. With a small temporary stage in place and folding chairs for the audience, Robert Smythe, who read his “Quicksilver,” drew about 75 people.

POLICE DISTRICTS continued from page 1 mor mill or hearsay. “The City is not being transparent in informing the people. The mayor is saying it will make the city run more efficiently. How? We would like more information. How is this going to affect us? Why was South Philly picked?” Cerrone, who lives on the 3100 block of Juniper Street and is president of the Stadium Community Council Civic Association, said.

cops respond to calls all over their district and are not assigned to set beat patrols. “The officers are held accountable for the zones,” Lt. Frank Vanore of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. “It creates geographical accountability. The whole concept is that the officers get to know the good guys, as well as the bad guys. This program keeps [officers] in an area. They become more involved in problem-solving along with the community.” Jeff Rush, president of the Queen Village Neighbors Association, said he respects the decisions Ramsey and his commanders make, but feels part of community policing means communication between police and residents. “We trust the experts. I think the police do a hard job and great job. They speak of community policing, so when you make a change like this, inform the community. We’re appreciative of that,” Rush said. The South Street Detail, staffed by cops who patrol the South Street area, also will not be impacted by the merger, McDowell said. “Nothing will be lost in South Philly. We’ll have a hybrid of officers on bike, on foot, in cars. With the merger they will be one of the largest districts in the city,” Bethel said. So if nothing is changing, why are residents like Cerrone and Rush uneasy? “We didn’t know that anything was changing or not changing because nobody bothered to tell us anything. Why not put it on the table and say this is what we’re proposing instead of backpedaling,” Rush said.

Cerrone reiterated her point: “We want information. ‘Have the people been told? Where is the transparency?’ The City has not been proactive in informing residents. It’s the City, not police. When you keep residents in the dark, it makes people uneasy,” she said. Cerrone added she has not called the mayor’s office for information because in the past when she’s done so she’s been referred to 311 — an information obtainment system Nutter established shortly after he was elected — and got nowhere. Bethel said a series of community meetings are planned for sometime in February so residents can be informed before the merger takes place. “We apologize to anyone who believed we were not going to get the community involved. There was no intention of putting one over on anybody,” the deputy commissioner said. McDowell expects the merger to go smoothly. “My prediction is it will be a seamless transition,” he told the Review.

to you,” Weaver said. As for McDowell, he will be reassigned — a post not yet determined at press time — something that is commonplace in department ranks. “By no means do I see this as a negative thing. I will still be contributing my crime-fighting efforts to the Philadelphia Police Department,” McDowell said. “I enjoyed working here the last two years. I got tremendous help and support from the community. “Since I’ve been here, violent crime has decreased 19 percent and property crime, 12 percent. I attribute that to the hard work of the officers and community who helped feed police information.” The 11th-and-Wharton facility is being revamped with more modern work spaces for personnel. “Which is a positive thing, good for morale,” McDowell said. The five Police Servicing Areas (PSAs) in the 3rd and 4th also will not be affected. The three in the 3rd are Lombard to Washington and 10th to the river; Washington to Tasker and 10th to the river; and 10th Street to Broad Street and Lombard to Tasker. The 4th PSAs are Broad Street to Ritner Street, Ritner to Tasker Street and Broad to 10th Street; and Ritner to Tasker and 10th to the Delaware river. Launched last year and now in all 23 police districts, PSAs are smaller geographical subdivisions within a district. Each PSA is led by a lieutenant, who, along with a team of sergeants and officers, are now responsible for policing within the smaller defined area of their district. Normally,

Capt. Mike Weaver will command the 3rd District when it merges with the 4th next month. Both are already housed at 11th and Wharton streets.

THE MAYOR’S OFFICE deferred comment to Deputy Commissioner of Regional Operations Command South Kevin Bethel, a former 17th District captain, who said the 3rd and 4th Districts were selected for two reasons. “The facility is one reason. We have the ability to merge because everybody is already in the building. Geographically, it’s conducive because the coverage area [for both districts] is small enough with 6.5 square miles,” Bethel said. The 3rd covers Lombard to Tasker streets and Broad Street to the Delaware River, while the 4th spans Tasker to the stadiums and Broad to the river. The move follows a similar one made earlier this month, when Ramsey united North Philadelphia’s 22nd and 23rd districts. “It’s going very well. We have a lot of officers on the street, foot beats, bikes, increased supervision,” Bethel said of that merger. According to the deputy commissioner and 3rd District Capt. Joe McDowell, the change is targeted for sometime in March and will be called the 3rd District. All of the cops will be absorbed into one staff. “The officers assigned to the 3rd and 4th will be remaining. That’s a positive thing for the community. And the number of sergeants will increase per platoon,” McDowell said. Former 3rd District Capt. Mike Weaver is being brought back to command the new district. In 2008, Weaver was relocated from the 3rd to oversee the Police Athletic League. When 4th District Capt. Alan Clark was reassigned Jan. 11 to the Center City District, Weaver stepped in. “I always loved South Philadelphia and the crime down here is always attackable. The people down here, when you help them, they appreciate it. I like being back,” Weaver told the Review. The captain’s plan remains the same. “We’re going to direct our attention to eliminating the serious crime, going after repeat offenders and getting them off the street,” he said. Being proactive is another top priority. “Youth violence reduction — once we find out these kids are heading that way, meet with them: ‘We know who you are, if you pick up a gun and cause this [violent crime], we’re going to be paying attention

A Fourth-and-Wharton resident spent last summer in the nation’s capital filming the 23rd season of an MTV reality show. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

osh Colon has always had a passion for music. He wrote his first rap at age 8. “It was about candy bars and girls,” he said. The resident of Fourth and Wharton streets, who sings and plays the piano, performed with various local musicians growing up. In 2007, he joined the local band Whiskey Livin,’ but the group disbanded the following summer. This left Colon’s options wide open. When a casting call was held last February at the Raven Lounge, 1718 Sansom St., for the MTV reality show “Real World,” he decided to try out. “I went on a limb,” he said. “I saw [the audition] on cragslist and I guess the rest is history.” His confidence snagged him a spot on the show’s 23rd season, which was filmed last summer in Washington D.C. “Honestly, I was just looking for this experience,” Colon, who now travels back and forth between Philly and D.C., said. “I just thought my lifestyle should be documented — the way I dress, the way I look.” Even though the line stretched for blocks, Colon believes his poise and style left MTV’s crew guessing. They were even unsure if he was gay or straight at one point, he said. “I present myself in a way where I make a mystery and a question,” he said. “They just wanted to know more about me.” Being one of two musicians in the house, Colon wanted to be the first to break out and establish himself. During the show, which debuted Dec. 30 and airs 10 p.m. each Wednesday on MTV, he met Will Whitney, who is now the drummer in the band Wicked Liquid that Colon fronts, The group, which has its first LP on iTunes and is in the midst of planning an East Coast tour and making a music video, was rounded out with guitarist Fasil Girmay and bassist Ben Martinez. The band has a gig at D.C.’s Club Heaven and Hell tomorrow night. “The whole band came together on the show,” he said. “It’s really going to play out exactly how

‘It’s deﬁnitely crazy seeing yourself on the tube. It really feels good. It makes you feel like you accomplished something.’ —Josh Colon, on being a ‘Real World’ cast member

Lifestyles it was, so I’m happy about that.” Those shows have not aired thus far and Colon has not been too present in an episode until last night, but he couldn’t recall any regrets he had during filming in D.C. “I still don’t know what they’re going to use,” he said. “I guess I’ll find that out later.” Colon, 23, has been catching episodes via DVR, but may host viewing parties when he becomes more of a focal character. Either way, it has been surreal being on national television, he said. “It’s definitely crazy seeing yourself on the tube,” he said. “It really feels good. It makes you feel like you accomplished something.” COLON WAS RAISED by his mother near Eight Street and Oregon Avenue until he started acting up and was shipped to his father and grandmother’s home at Fifth and Sigel streets. His uncle got him a job at Pat’s King of Steaks where he swept floors when he was 14. He moved up the ranks from cashier to head cashier and managing the grill, a position that he held until the summer when he left for D.C. Then at age 17, he was locked up for possession. “It was definitely a turning point in my life,” he said of the time he served. “That’s definitely not the way for me.”

He also experienced some rough times at Furness High, 1900 S. Third St., dropping out of school twice before entering a North Philadelphia based education program for troubled teens in ’04. He got his grades up and returned to Furness a few credits shy of graduating. Two years later, Colon received his diploma. Once Colon started realizing his friends were heading down the wrong path, it helped get his life back on track. “I basically saw myself on the same track selling drugs and not doing the right thing,”

he said. And with his mother having a second child, 8-year-old Dante, Colon said he wanted his younger sibling to have someone to look up to. “I’m basically his father,” he said. “I stepped in. He didn’t have anyone to look up to and I knew that feeling.” He then worked for Tony Luke’s at Citizen’s Bank Park from ’05 through last year as the personal product manager until heading to D.C. for the show. But prior to being cast, not wanting to make

food service a career, Colon looked at the show as a way to chase his dreams, gaining publicity and an unforgettable experience along the way. “Basically it was career decision time,” he said of his reasoning for auditioning. “Twenty-three years old — it was this or the military.” Since he never had a college experience, Colon viewed his time in D.C. as just that — living with seven strangers from all walks of life and even though he missed his family and girlfriend, he would not trade it for the world, he said. “Being in a city you’ve never been in before. Venture. Explore. It’s definitely an experience that changed my life,” he said. And Colon has kept busy with his band and a slew of other projects including writing a short film “Vampire Ride in the Terror” with Tony Luke Jr. and his own short film, “Twist of Love,” but his life hasn’t drastically changed yet. “Being noticed that’s pretty crazy,” he said. “It’s pretty much the same just a lot more exciting. I have a lot to look forward to.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Amanda Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news /lifestyles.

Cold Souls PG-13 Available Tuesday Paul Giamatti has a ball playing a desperate version of himself in “Cold Souls,” a surrealist comedy about a shady company that aims to cure people’s emotional ills by extracting their souls — or, sometimes, implanting the souls of others. The smart humor is dry, understated and a little tragic. Russian actress Dina Korzun gives a memorable supporting performance as Nina. The movie owes a big debt to Charlie Kauffman, but there’s room for more than one existential explorer behind the camera, and first-time writer/director Sophie Barthes announces herself as a talent to watch.

he best compliment I can offer “Extraordinary Measures” is it isn’t a total disaster. One shouldn’t necessarily judge a movie by its promotional material, but all of the advertisements for this fact-based medical drama indicated a generic, manufactured sap-fest. A bit TV movie-ish, it certainly has its generic qualities and, as the first product of the newly minted CBS Films, it does give off a manufactured aura, but the sap, thankfully, is kept to a palatable minimum. Based on journalist Geeta Anand’s book, itself inspired by events that occurred in the early 2000s, the film concerns a couple, John and Aileen Crowley (Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell), with two children ages 9 and 7, suffering from Pompe disease, a then-untreatable neuromuscular disorder that enlarges vital organs and usually kills its victims by age 8. With his children’s conditions worsening, John quits his job at Bristol-Myers Squibb and teams up with hot-headed scientist Dr. Robert Stonehill (executive producer Harrison Ford), whose research might just save the kids’ lives. There are flashes of the genuine emotional turmoil that befell this deeply burdened family and only the ending feels like a moving Hallmark card. The didactic nature of the movie, which uses every available opportunity to educate viewers on the disease, is problematic, but forgivable. Unfortunately, “Extraordinary Measures,” which opened in eighth place last weekend, is undone by the anythingbut-extraordinary performances from its leads, who are miscast and mismatched. Caught in another project beneath her talents, Russell is solid as usual, but Fraser

and Ford are impossible to take seriously. One offers a sleepwalking, oafish update of his “Encino Man” persona, while the other uses his “Air Force One” rage as the only way to express his character’s feelings. Shame on director Tom Vaughan for allowing so many phony exchanges between the two and shame on the producers for failing to realize a story like this needs little Hollywood tinkering.

irst there was Sam Spade — think Bogart in “The Maltese Falcon” — then there was Philip Marlowe — Bogey again in “The Big Sleep.” They were the great private detectives of American fiction. The private eye was quintessentially American — the hard-boiled loner, the guy who lived by his own rules, a cynic, but one who was true to his code, a sucker for a good sob story from some good-looking dame. Spade was the creation of Dashiell Hammett. After Hammett came Raymond Chandler with Spade’s heir apparent, Marlowe. It was no coincidence Humphrey Bogart is remembered as the best interpreter on film of both. My buddy shared my passion for Chandler’s fiction — “The Long Goodbye,” “Farewell, My Lovely” and “The Big Sleep.” We voraciously made our way through all of the Marlowe novels. By then, except for an interlude when Ross MacDonald reigned with his Archer series, it was accepted wisdom the great detectives of American fiction were just a memory. One day, my friend called me with exciting news. He had discovered the fiction of Robert B. Parker. He is the closest thing to Chandler, he told me, in the kind of excited tones guys usually reserve when talking about hot chicks. And so I found Spenser, the heir to the great American detectives, worthy of mention in the same breath as Spade and Marlowe. No first name, just Spenser. The story goes, Parker was going to give Spenser a first name after his oldest son, but felt his other son might feel slighted. In the end, Parker decided the character would never have a first name. Parker’s dialogue sparkled with wit. Spenser was familiar to fans of Hammett and Chandler, but, yet, he was different. It was no longer the 1940s and Spenser was a man of today. Stereotypes were destroyed. Spenser wasn’t dependent on the hard stuff like Marlowe. He liked to cook gourmet food. He wasn’t a loner. Spenser loved Susan Silverman. Yes, she was beautiful, but she also was a brilliant psychologist and Jewish. Both Spenser and Silverman eschewed the convention of marriage, but not as an excuse to fool around with others. They were devoted and loyal, the stuff of great romances. Spenser’s sidekick was Hawk — again just one name. Hawk was a hulking African-American. He could gangsta talk or

quote Shakespeare. Hawk was a contradiction, like Spenser. A blend of the violent and intellectual. Through Spenser and Hawk, Parker commented on race relations in America with charm and a humor almost never seen. Parker used the grit of Boston as his background, much like Chandler used the moody backdrop of Los Angeles. Spenser’s relationship with the police and Mob were complicated and not always adversarial. He operated out of a spare office overlooking the Charles River. As was the case with Spade and Marlowe, a beautiful woman knocking on Spenser’s door began many of his cases, but it was the dialogue that kept readers glued to the page. For a brief time, Parker seemed to be our secret pleasure. Inevitably, the author caught the attention of critics and the public. Spenser became a mediocre TV series. Parker wryly commented the only redeeming thing about the “Spenser: For Hire” were the paychecks. There also were a couple of forgettable TV movies with Joe Mantegna. Mantegna is a fine actor, but he couldn’t project the power and threat of violence that radiated from Spenser’s hulking frame. In reality, only one man looked like Spenser — Robert B. Parker. Check any of book covers. He wears a Red Sox cap, neatly pressed jeans and a black leather jacket. An imposing man posed next to his dog — a huge, coal-black canine. Parker acknowledged his debt to Chandler. He was authorized to finish the sequel to “The Big Sleep” Chandler partially completed before he died. Only Parker could have pulled it off. In the book “Perchance to Dream,” the transition from Chandler’s writing to that of Parker is seamless. Marlowe lived again. You almost wished Bogey were still alive to play the role one more time. Spenser was resilient. He survived an emotionally wrenching split with his beloved Susan, followed by a reunion you knew would only end in the death of one of them. He survived various brushes with death. His wisecracks never became old. He remained true to himself and those he loved: Susan, Hawk and a surrogate son, Paul Giacomin. My buddy passed away nine years ago. After that, every time I opened a new Spenser novel I thought of my friend. I know it’s crazy, but I felt if I concentrated hard enough while reading the book, somehow my thoughts would be communicated to him and somewhere he too would be enjoying the latest Spenser adventure. Robert B. Parker died last week. He was at his desk writing when his heart gave out. He took with him the last great private eye. I’m really not much of a believer in the afterlife, but if there is, my dear friend, I hope you have met him. As Hemingway once wrote, “Isn’t it pretty to think so?” SPR

food South

hen Jacqui Delario visits one of her best friends in South Carolina, collard greens are a must. Over the years, the dish has gotten some northern exposure, especially at Jacqui’s home on the 2500 block of South Lambert Street. Instead of stealing her friend’s thunder, Jacqui has created her own Ode to the South, or what she describes as a Southern take on her mother’s spinach and potatoes. Jacqui adds her own touch by garnishing the top with some carrot strips. SPR

Philly

Jacqui’s Ode to the South INGREDIENTS:

saute the garlic in the oil until golden-brown. Add the turnips, sauteing until they begin to turn golden-brown. Add the onion. If using the stems, add to the pan when the onions are browned and translucent. When the turnips are tender, add the collard green leaves and stir. Cook for about three minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Top with the carrots, if desired, DIRECTIONS: and serve. When the greens have cooled, drain and remove the stems. Cut the stems into bite-size pieces, if using in the dish, and rough chop the leaves. Set both aside. In a large pan over low heat, 1 bunch, or about a 1/2-pound, of collard greens, washed and blanched 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, smashed 1/4 cup of olive oil 3 to 4 turnips, peeled and cubed 1 onion, diced Salt and pepper, to taste Carrot strips, for garnish

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

y sister Sandy (Nurse Betty) arrived last week to help me (Nurse Ratched) care for Edward (the invalid). Unlike Moliere’s character, his condition is anything but imaginary. Nursing a broken ankle is misery. For the past month, I have dined alone for reviews, which I enjoyed very much, but I looked forward to Sandy’s company and conversation. Pizzerias and barbecue places are big Center City restaurant trends. I suspect burger joints (I understand Bobby Flay is coming to University City) soon will form the trio of inexpensive places here. Pizzeria Stella, courtesy of Stephen Starr, opened in the fall. Marc Vetri’s Amis is now in business and finally, after several calls, I was advised by the friendly woman on the other end Zavino Wine Bar Pizzeria is open. “We’re going for pizza,” I told my sister. Located at the corner of 13th and Sansom, Zavino is the latest place on the street’s Restaurant Row. Sandy could not believe how many choices light the block. We were greeted by a smiling hostess who took our coats. The place is small, but was buzzing with a youngish crowd happily tucking into antipasti and pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven. The chef/owner is Steve Gonzalez, a charming young man who once worked with Vetri. He worked the room ensuring Coffee/Café/Sweets

his patrons were happy. Happy, indeed. Our server told us since the owner still was waiting for his liquor license, complimentary beer and wine, two glasses per person, was on offer. We went for the red and discussed the menu. The small, yet engaging selections were the spirit of winter. A platter of roasted red and yellow beets ($5), cooled and cut into small dice, was embellished with crunchy pistachios tossed with a tangy goat cheese. Beet salads are popular, but walnuts are the nut of choice. It was welcoming to see pistachios mixed in the dish. The next one to entice our appetites was a simple concoction of root vegetables ($5), including carrots, mild radishes and turnips dressed in a well-whisked lemon vinaigrette. Although the menu states the vegetables were served with bagna cauda, the Web site states a choice of each dressing. Bagna cauda, an Italian hot-dipping sauce made with melted butter, olive oil, anchovies and herbs, would have been a nice culinary diversion here, but Sandy and I were content with the lemon dressing. The pizza prices are so low, I almost fell off my chair. We ordered the Margherita ($10) and the Kennett ($11). The pies arrived piping-hot nestled on a two-tiered metal stand. The classic Margherita was baked with fresh tomato sauce, Claudio’s mozzarella straight from the Italian Market and large fresh basil leaves. Kennett Square is the mushroom capital of America.

and selected a mix of oyster, cremini and shiitake for this delectable pie. The trio was stellar. Oysters are mild, cremini are meaty baby portabellos and shiitakes add to the headiness of the mix. Claudio’s mozzarella also was used here. The ingredients were topped with a creamy béchamel before being baked. We’ve all eaten white pizzas made with cheese sans the tomato sauce, but the use of classic béchamel was inspiring. Although we were quite satisfied, our server recommended the panna cotta ($5). Sandy had never sampled it, so we shared. This light, silky Italian custard (it means “cooked cream”) dotted with caramel was a cool and refreshing end to a delightful meal. Zavino has much going for it. A fine chef, a staff who care for patrons as if they were seated at their table, local, top-

Add the chorizo to the shallot mixture and sauté over medium for about eight minutes. Add the rice and sauté briefly. Add the shrimp shell water and wine. Bring to a boil, lower to medium and add the remaining ingredients. Cover the pot and cook until the mussels and clams open, about eight minutes. Serves four.

■ Bolognese Sauce ■ Ingredients: 4 tablespoons of olive oil

When spinning the globe for inspiration, make a stop in Italy and follow Marcella Hazan’s guidance for sauce or try one of Spain’s bestknown dishes. Either way, you w ill create one earth-shattering meal.

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Child, Hazan had a strong Food Columnist

any nations are known for their one-pot meals. The New England boiled dinner, stir-fried dishes from China, Spain’s paella and the rich Bolognese sauce from Italy are among my favorites. During an episode of “Top Chef: New York,” Hosea Rosenberg, who was named the winner, prepared paella in about 30 minutes. He used shrimp, chorizo and chicken and specifically recommended arborio rice. I watched him closely and thought, “I can do that.” I have prepared jambalaya — a first cousin to paella — on a number of occasions, but always used long grain rice. Edward and my sister Sandy served as my culinary guinea pigs. I made paella with wild shrimp, mussels, clams and chorizo. Marcella Hazan’s recipe for Bolognese sauce has been one of my staples ever since I began collecting her cookbooks. Hailed as the Italian Julia

influence on how Americans cook regional Italian dishes. She was discovered by the late Craig Claiborne, who was a food columnist for The New York Times for many years. During the summer, I make a ragu using fresh, red, ripe tomatoes. Now, that we’re in the depths of winter, I turn to canned crushed and whole San Marzano tomatoes from Italy. Although many ItalianAmericans believe you must simmer a ragu, gravy or sauce for hours and hours, Hazan believes this is not necessary. You can make a fresh tasting sauce in about 40 minutes. A loaf of bread and sturdy green salad marry well with paella and a Bolognese. I used a grassy Sauvignon Blanc in the former and we sipped a glass with dinner. A Chianti, Rioja, Malbac or Cabernet Sauvignon works well, too. Although we ended our paella dinner with a slice of Termini’s marble cheesecake, you might want to prepare a flan to celebrate Spain. A panna cotta from Italy would be my choice after pasta alla Bolognese.

p ■ Paella ■

Ingredients:

Olive oil, to coat the bottom of a large wide pot 1 large shallot or onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 3 fat cloves of garlic, sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1-1/2 pounds of wild shrimp, shells removed 3 cups of water 1 cup of dry white wine 2 chorizo sausages, sliced 1-1/2 cups of arborio rice 24 cherrystone clams 2 pounds of mussels Pinch of saffron 2 bay leaves

Directions: Heat the oil over medium. Sauté the shallot or onion, red pepper and garlic for about five minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. While the vegetables are cooking, place the shrimp shells in a pot filled with the water and wine. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.

1 large shallot or onion, diced 3 fat cloves of garlic, sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef 1 28-ounce can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes 1 15-ounce can of tomato sauce 1/2 cup of dry red wine 2 bay leaves

Directions: Heat the oil over medium in a 4-quart stockpot. Sauté the shallot or onion and garlic for about five minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. Push the vegetables to the side of the pot. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the beef, sautéing just until it loses its pink color. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, lower to simmer, cover with the lid askew and cook for about one hour. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: Hazan writes Bolognese sauce must cling to the pasta. Pappardelle or tagliatelle are good choices for ragu alla Bolognese. You also can use fettuccine or linguine. SPR Comment at http://www.southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/ features.

He was given up by his owners in October because they were moving into an apartment that did not allow cats, and has been waiting here at the shelter for his forever home ever since.

‘I am happy I can go on. What I got taught here has helped me to play at the next level.’ —Michaila Hatty

Four more years

Another member of the Neumann-Goretti girls’ basketball program is joining the college ranks at a Division III school. By Bill Gelman

A travel baseball team for age 8 is forming for the spring with plans to participate in several tournaments. Call Ken, 215-696-0909.

Review Managing Editor

he Neumann-Goretti girls’ basketball team started strolling into the 10th and Moore streets gymnasium at about 3 p.m. Monday to catch the team bus to South Jersey. Michaila Hatty was sitting back on the bleachers relaxing before the early evening tip. It’s something the 5-foot-11 forward is doing with a little more ease these days thanks to having that all-important college decision finalized. The resident of Front of Roseberry streets selected the Maryland based Washington College — a short twohour commute via I-95. It’s where she’ll continue her basketball career, as well as major in biology to pursue her future path as a physical therapist. “It takes off a lot of stress of thinking about where I am going to be next year,” the 18-year-old said. She selected the Division III school over Pennsylvania based Gwynedd-Mercy College — where former teammate Allison Nelson now plays — and New Jersey’s Centenary College. “The thing that won me over was the coaching staff,” Hatty said of Washington. “They seemed really passionate about their jobs.” The campus also offers a perfect-distance scenario of being away from the city, but not too far away. “I will still play some games close to home, so my family can all come out and see me play,” she said. Neumann-Goretti girls’ basketball coach Chip Reitano said the school is a good fit for his three-year starter. “I think their style of play suits her,” Reitano said. “She can play the three or the four like she does for us. “I think it’s a great opportunity for her. It’s always a proud moment for me to see one of my players go on to be recognized for their hard work over their four years at Neumann-Goretti.”

BOWLERS NEEDED

EOM BIDDY SPORTS

Biddy basketball registration for ages 3 to 7 is under way. The $30 for the five-week program includes a uniform and trophy. Games are Saturday mornings in the gym at Front and Moore streets beginning Jan. 30. Call 215-271-1994 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

GREEN UPDATE

La Salle University’s Rodney Green was named the Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week Monday. The senior guard averaged 23.5 points and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the field. The Prep Charter grad also racked up a career-high 32 points against Charlotte last Saturday and set career highs in field goals (12) and field goals attempted (25). His performance was the most points scored by an Explorer since Steven Smith tallied 41 in 2005. Michaila Hatty, with the ball, and the Saints girls’ basketball dropped Tuesday’s Catholic League game to Archbishop Prendie, 56-30. P h o t o b y a m a n d a T h u r l ow

sion I players Jasmine Daniels (BethuneCookman) and Shante Cummings (Coppin State). Ashley White (Tallahassee College) and Gloria Brown (Trinity College) are both on the junior college scene. Deanna Tropea is a little closer to home at Division III Immaculata University. Hatty is looking to follow in their footsteps by helping her Saints qualify for the playoffs. The task is far from an easy one, as the Saints entered the week 1-7 in Catholic League play. The squad’s lone victory came Jan. 7 over Kennedy-Kenrick. “Our season is definitely not going as planned right now,” she said. “We just have to play together for four quarters and we’ll be fine.

“We’re playing hard and that’s really all we can do.” For Hatty, the Jan. 16 45-42 win over New York’s St. Dominic’s was a highlight as her three-pointer with 2:16 remaining gave her team the lead. She plans to continue doing whatever her team needs. Of course, part of her can’t help thinking about the bright future ahead. “I am happy I can go on,” Hatty said of playing college ball. “What I got taught here has helped me to play at the next level.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Bill Gelman at bgelman@southphillyreview.com or ext. 123.

MONARCHS UPDATE

The Monarchs 12-and-under girls’ soccer team made a solid showing at the Kick It 3v3 Soccer World Championship in Walt Disney World earlier this month by finishing with a 3-3 record. After dropping two games in pool play to top-10 ranked teams, they advanced to the second round with victories over Nashville and Chicago. After knocking off Georgia in the next round, the Monarchs moved on to play another squad from Chicago that happened to be the current No. 1 team. The Monarchs lost 4-1, which eliminated them from tournament play. “They had a great experience and we’re very proud of their accomplishment,” coach Walter Stewart said.

Lock down

Bogey

Jan. 23

fter not having a solid contract for five years of play with the Phils, the team finally offered Shane Victorino what he should have had all along. Friday, the Flyin’ Hawaiian inked a $22 million three-year deal with the Phillies. In a less obvious move, the Victorino deal came after Thursday’s signing of Joe Blanton to a three-year deal. The $24 million for Blanton does not seem like a bargain to me. In fact, I thought he’d be out of here. What do we want to lock ourselves into a pitching obligation with him for? Cliff Lee, an ace with a bright and healthy future, asks you for $9 million and you send him packing and then agree to $8 mill a year for Blanton. I just don’t get it.

Jan. 20 hat to do? Well, we all know what will be done, however, is that the right decision? An MLK-day beer-fueled brawl brought me head-to-head with my boyfriend (a staunch McNabb supporter) about Donovan’s tenure in the City of Brotherly Love. Normally, we are butting antlers as he scolds I am a fairweather fan who doesn’t see Donovan’s potential while I levy accusations that staying safe relegates us to nothing but second-place finishes and McNabb doesn’t have the makings of a winner. 2009, however, seems to have cracked the infallible Reid-coated armor of D. McNabb and my boyfriend finally aquiesced. No more, “if he had all the right pieces …” No, our Monday night conversation, though oddly contentious, was one of agreement... SPR
