The Chadmoore Alumni Association are keeping the memories alive and well

I

t was an idea born almost 75 years ago.

Some were neighborhood kids who were looking for a place to play football, baseball or halfball. Others were young adults who wanted a place to relax and swap war stories. Later on, it became a place to fall in love at a dance on a Saturday night.

The Chadmoore Athletic Club was many things to many people in the South Philadelphia neighborhood just a few blocks north of Passyunk Avenue on the west side of Broad Street.

And to 48 members of the Chadmoore Alumni Association, it’s a great way to remember some great livin’. They still get together on a monthly basis to keep the memories alive.

“It was some real young fellas returning from World War II and Korea that decided they wanted to be more than just guys hanging on a corner,” said Joe Persico, a South Philly resident who considSee CHADMOORE, page 18>>

Southwark keeps progressing and keeps meeting goals

MARK ZIMMARO/South Philly Review

Southwark third-grade teacher Kayla Rooks helps Sam Mang Chan with an assignment in math class.

By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

A

ny good math teacher will tell you that showing the work is just as important as finding the correct answer.

At the Southwark School, which educates prekindergarten through eighth-grade students on South 9th Street, some recent glowing test scores can be easily traced to a number of factors in the hallways and classrooms.

Southwark’s 2018-19 School Progress Report showed a huge leap in Average Growth Index in both math and English Language Arts. In fact, it was rated the highest in math growth and the second highest in English among 166 public and charter schools in the School District of Philadelphia last year.

“That’s the sweat and tireless work of our teachers to get our students to keep progressing and keep meeting goals,” Southwark principal Andrew Lukov said.

For the last three years, the school has significantly surpassed growth projection in English and math, which Lukov said is very difficult to achieve.

He can speak to the progression first-hand, as Lukov has been principal for the last seven years at Southwark. Enrollment has nearly doubled from 525 to 950 students during that time, making it the largest public school in South Philadelphia. He quickly pointed to a dedicated teaching staff as the main reason for the improvement.

“I can’t say enough about our teachers that bring it every single day,” Lukov said. “Many times, teachers aren’t looked upon the way they should be. Our teachers are heroes here. This doesn’t happen without excellent teachers in the classroom.”

Kayla Rooks is one of them. Now in her third year of teaching third grade at the school, Rooks was spotlighted as a standout teacher, contributing to the recent success.

“I think it’s looking at the standards and diving into that,” said Rooks. “I think as a staff, we’ve really focused on what the standard actually says and guiding our instruction, instead of just looking at a book or a curriculum.”

A key factor to increasing English Language Arts scores has been a focus on teaching bilingual languages, as many students enter the school as primarily Spanish-speaking.

Jayleen Medina has taught first-grade bilingual language at the school for the last five years. The

students who have passed through her class are excelling in later grades.

“I’m very proud of them because they’re working very hard,” Medina said. “They are challenged every single day because they are learning a new language. It’s a big challenge, and they never give up. We want students to be bilingual, and I can really see the improvement for the students in reading and writing fifth grade in both languages.”

Overall, the school received a score of 65 percent (up three points from last year and up nine from 2017), and landed once again in the “Reinforce” category, which is the second-highest bracket. The school reached the highest “Model” category in both progress and school climate but still struggles in Achievement, which measures performance on standardized assessments and reading assessments.

“Unfortunately, we have struggled with achievement,” Lukov said. “We have some students that are still learning the language and after just one year of learning, they are mandated to take the standardized tests and we do struggle with that. The good news is we’re getting better. We need to work a little harder but we are seeing progress.”

The other area of concern was the Science subcategory of the Average Growth Index in which the school was below average. Lukov said the school has traditionally shifted the majority of its financial resources to the math and language areas but recently jump-started its science structure by implementing new programs and focusing more attention in that area.

Science isn’t the only area on the rebound.

A few years ago, the school received a six-figure “Keys of Inspiration” grant from the International Music Foundation that helped restore a music program that was gutted during budget cuts seven years ago.

The school transformed an empty room into a flourishing music laboratory with multiple pianos, keyboards, guitars and other instruments. Southwark’s arts department now has two music teachers, an arts teacher and a dance teacher. There’s continuous field trips and partnerships with local arts organizations.

“Being a music teacher, it’s awesome to have that kind of support from administrators,” said music teacher Rebecca Moats. “A lot of times, they are just focused on test prep. But here, I feel like music and arts are important to them. I feel like it builds the community with the kids. It’s a class and a space for them and some time out of their day that they’re getting to be music makers.”

The excitement surrounding the school is reminiscent of when teacher Shelley Ruderman began her tenure in 1992. She says it’s getting back to those levels.

“When I first got here, the school was a gem,” she said. “Over time, we lost that a little bit. But in

the last five years or so, we really exploded. The growth has been amazing. New programs, community involvement, parental involvement and the overall achievement of our students has been incredible.”

Lukov said the School Progress Report was a point of pride, but he vowed that even better days are ahead. Students categorized as “lowestperforming” earned an 89 percent in progress, including the maximum score in English. It points to positive trends moving forward.

“It makes us really proud,” Lukov said. “It’s really helping us build momentum.”

ndrew Yang dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination last week. His announcement was not unexpected. Most eyes that night were focused on other candidates in the tightly contested Democratic primary in New Hampshire. Yang might have a bright political future. Or he might be the guy who is remembered only for his quirky proposal to give each American $1,000 — what he called the “Freedom Dividend.” In an age when we worship technology, Yang warned that automation is ripping the heart out of American workers. That warning helped get him a couple of percentage points in the polls, an appearance on THE VIEW and an early exit from the race for the presidency.

Many years ago, I wrote an angry rant about the effect of technology on my own job as a procurement agent for the Defense Personnel Support, then located in South Philadelphia. My ire was directed at a new computerized system being implemented by our headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. The system made no sense.

It had been designed by computer programmers who had zero experience of an operations person like me. Some of my and my fellow employees’ resistance sprang from our fear of the unfamiliar.

But much of it was due to the system’s design flaws and to the crushing effect it had on the nature of our jobs. When we raised our concerns, they were ignored. Totally. Some of us tried to maintain our manual records as safety nets. We were caught and forced by the boss — Capt.

Dale Brown -- to destroy our paper trail while he stood at our desks and watched us. Chaos followed. We were the Iowa Caucus before there was an Iowa Caucus.

I let my personal feelings result in a lousy column — an unfocused tirade against all things automated. The then-editor of this newspaper was upset with me. He was a lot younger than me.

Loved computers. Wanted desperately to convert me. I’m using Microsoft Word to write this column, proof that my former editor and his generation won the battle. I wouldn’t want to return to a time when I wrote my column without a computer. I am not against technology. But some of my misgivings have proven true.

As Andrew Yang reminded us during his brief campaign, we lost 4 million manufacturing jobs in recent years, most of them in the industrialized states that went from blue to red and gave us the Trump presidency. Technology has brought us the kiosks at your local supermarket or pharmacy replacing clerks. That clerk who still has See CARDELLA, page 7>>

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Shame on Cardella and Pelosi Another week, another anti-Trump screed by

Tom Cardella. I never bothered to respond to any of his weekly nonsensical barrages against our president, but after the recent shameless display

by Mrs. Pelosi and after reading Tom’s final paragraph, wherein he proudly proclaims he’s from the “Pelosi” wing of Italian-Americans and that “she’s smart, has the right values, is the leader of her party....”, a response is demanded.

Mrs. Pelosi’s refusal to stand in appreciation of a number of the president’s guests, especially the returning military hero, the mother with the 2-year-old who weighed only a pound at birth and the Tuskegee airman, was the height of disrespect and disdain not only to the president, but to the chamber and the American people.

Mrs. Pelosi committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2071, Section 2071 (a) when she shredded President Trump’s State of the Union address aka “The Rip Heard Around the World.” Not content with destroying the document, she then threw it on the table. That official record, with the presi-

dential seal and signature on it, is required to be housed in the National Archives.

Additionally, Jonathan Turley, a liberal professor, has written that if Nancy can’t maintain the dignity and neutrality of her office in the State of the Union, she should resign. And he’s not a Trump supporter.

You proudly proclaim that you are from the “Pelosi” wing of Italian-American. That’s nothing to be proud of. Was Mr. Cardella born in Italy?

If not, the word “American” should come before “Italian.” Remember, we are born here; we are American first.

Just what “right values” does she maintain?

As an American of Italian descent and a practicing Catholic, I find her years of temper tantrums, vile and vicious accusations against anyone who questions her, support for partial birth abortion (oh, but she’s a Catholic), stating that MS-13 gang members who butcher their victims as having “humanity,” repulsive. The Pelosi family, going back to their days in Baltimore, is steeped in criminality. And by the way, she is not the “leader of her party.” That sad designation goes to the four

anti-American, anti-Israel squad members whom she fears.

Nancy Pelosi is a cartoon character...but she’s anything but funny.

Focus needed on quality-of-life crimes On Feb. 10, a rally was held at Marconi Park

to unite against the influx of crime seen and felt across our South Philly neighborhoods. Increasingly, residents have expressed fear upon leaving their homes, walking their dogs at night or commuting on public transport to and from work. I can’t count on one hand the number of addicts, prostitutes and other “quality-of-life” crimes I’ve seen in the past year. For my husband, who moved here from rural Wales in the UK, the shock of urban crime has been even worse. It is for these reasons that we gathered to discuss what can be done to stop the crime and bring back the See LETTERS, page 7>>

<<Continued from page 6 a job has been turned into someone who takes over for the automated check-out system when it breaks down or when a customer is confused by it. Soon, even his or her job will be gone.

Those who warn against the brutal effects automation has on job security are called “Luddites” — anti-progress. The original Luddites destroyed their machinery in anger over automation. In retrospect, their anger no longer looks unfounded. Maybe the Luddites looked into the future and saw that robots were coming. And the jobs of many workers have been altered forever. Turned into mind-numbing, life-draining, dehumanizing shifts on assembly lines. Example — in the government job that I referenced earlier, the new system had essentially turned procurement agents into clerks filling out coding sheets.

We’ve been told that this is the price of automation. This is the price of progress. But workers were promised a different vision of the future. Robots were supposed to free us from boring work, not replace us. We were supposed to have more leisure time because of automation, not be forced into early retirement or the unemployment line.

Automation has affected our lives in other unseen ways. Hacking. Are there any of us whose private information has NOT been hacked?

Chances are, if you’ve ever used a credit card, you’ve been hacked. There are people in China who, at this very moment, likely know more about our personal lives than we ourselves do.

Someone in Hunan Province is sitting at a computer right now poring over the fact that some guy named Cardella in the USA likes his pasta al dente, voted for Sam Katz twice and gets turned on by hot women who have short hair and wear glasses. And by the time our American companies find out they’ve been hacked and fix the problem, they find out the hackers are two steps ahead of them. But maybe worse than the fact that our personal info has been hacked is the knowledge that so have our elections.

I don’t want this column to turn into yet another attack on our president, but our presidential election of 2016 was hacked into by the Russians. That’s Russia, Mr. Trump, not Ukraine. Not some obese kid lying on a mattress alone in a room doing it just for kicks. By all indications, we haven’t done much about preventing our enemies from doing it again in 2020. Do you really believe that the new hightech voting machines or those fancy apps are the answer? Hello, Iowa!

New Hampshire was free of Iowa’s problems last week. Why? You can’t hack into paper ballots.

Technology has brought tremendous benefits. It has not been without its costs. •• You can follow Tom Cardella on Facebook.

<<Continued from page 6 feeling of neighborly care associated with the South Philly of our respective youths. I remember a time when my parents sat on the step and talked while we played in streets until 9, 10, 11 at night. We never felt unsafe then.

And yet, despite the gathering, the response from D.A. Krasner’s office was an abhorrent disgrace.

Speaking to 6ABC, the office gave a statement saying, in their opinion, quality-of-life crimes are sometimes based on perception, not actual data.

This is an easy stance to take when you’ve “moved the goal post” of what constitutes a crime so far that only the most heinous actions still apply. Is being a drugged-up loon a crime? No. But if three of them

were dumped on your corner during your evening commute, I’ll bet you won’t feel so warm, safe and fuzzy.

With crimes such as vehicle breakins and retail theft hardly recorded by the police department, and safe injection sites becoming the new norm, of course the D.A’s statistics will match their desired narrative.

They’ve all but manually massaged the numbers to assure it happens.

Couple this with our new commissioner, perhaps aptly named “Outlaw,” a transplant from Portland, Oregon who allowed the political terrorist group Antifa to flourish under her reign. Is it then a coincidence that the amount of so-called antifascist vandalism has increased in South Philadelphia to coincide with her arrival? I’ll let you be the judge of that, but hopefully she does not allow for the same leniency in this city that she did in Portland.

Krasner, I implore you to look

again. You say these crimes are based on perception. I respond that so, too, then, is your alleged “success” in fighting them, and only one of us depends on the perception of their constituents to remain in office.

Here’s a hint. It isn’t me.

This Dem doesn’t like Gov. Tom Wolf’s abortion funding As a registered Democrat with

a blended liberal and conservative philosophy (pro-life), I read with interest the report of praise heaped on Gov. Tom Wolf’s proposed 20202021 budget ($36 billion) by state Rep. Maria Donatucci and state Sen. Larry Farnese (“Donatucci, Farnese like Wolf’s budget,” Feb. 12).

7

The list of progressive proposals contains impressive provisions for education - including ending toxic schools - plus supporting affordable health care and quelling gun violence. All praiseworthy goals.

There is, however, one line item proposal not mentioned in the SPR report. Gov. Wolf wants to earmark $3 million to support access to “reproductive health care.” In other words, Wolf wants to use taxpayer money to pay for abortion. The money would mainly go to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

It is ironic that a budget that includes so many life-supporting programs like education and health care would include a provision aimed at ending even late-term preborn life.

Of course there will be pushback.

Consider this letter part of that.

t a young age, Gina Durante knew she wanted to be a business owner.

A business that involves a combination of alpacas, goats and exercise might have been a stretch at the time, but Durante and partner Heather Bonato have made an impact with their cre-

ation called Yoga Hive Philly.

“We actually both started out in the corporate world,” said Durante, who grew up in Medford, New Jersey and recently moved to Queen Village in South Philadelphia. “We were both miserable working a nine-to-five and we both had a passion for owning a business, so we decided to open up a yoga studio. The wellness world was booming, and we just thought to open something that would be good in the area.”

Yoga Hive Philly was born.

Durante and Bonato’s business specializes in yoga events, animal yoga, outdoor and rooftop yoga, and unique wellness events. Having animals like goats and alpacas on site allows students to learn yoga at their own pace and it offers a feeling of comfortability to newcomers.

“People that would not normally go to a yoga class might tend to come to something they feel more comfortable with,” Durante said. “Goats and alpacas are very calming creatures. And it’s kind of interesting to see them watch the poses and the people. It’s a really good mind-body connection between the people and the animals. They both love it.”

Yoga Hive Philly started with a storefront on East Passyunk Avenue but the business has since migrated to rotating locations for different events to help keep costs down.

“Right now, we’re focusing on our events and festivals and coming up with new and exciting ideas for people in the area,” Durante said.

One of those ideas is a Rooftop Yoga and Bottomless Mimosas event in Queen Village, which has sold out on all three dates that were listed. The next big event is the Goatchella event with alpacas, which will be held at the East Passyunk Community Center at 1025 Mifflin St. on May 3.

Tickets are $45, and time slots are available at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at yogahivephilly.com. Students need to bring a yoga mat and a camera for some fun selfies, if desired.

“It’s a really fun event,” Durante said. “The animals like to watch and after the class, all students have an opportunity to go take pictures with the animals and pet them and ask questions about them.”

Goats and alpacas are brought in from Tabernacle, Burlington County, New Jersey from Grazing Goat and Nash Hill Alpacas. The animals aren’t shy to take selfies for Instagram, and a portion of the proceeds is donated back to the farms.

The actual yoga instruction is left to the professionals, as Durante and Bonato hire instructors to teach the class, giving the duo more time to manage the business end of the company.

“Neither one of us are big yogis,” Durate said. “We practice and we enjoy it but we don’t teach. To own a business, you have to give it your all to be successful, and it takes up all of your time.”

She knows about owning a business first-hand because it’s in her blood. Her grandfather owned Tony’s Tires of South Philadelphia on West Oregon Avenue, an auto repair and retail space established in 1971.

Her father opened businesses South Philly Video in 1981 and South Philly Billiards in 1989, and her uncle opened up the popular brunch spot Green Eggs Cafe on South 13th Street, which has expanded to multiple locations.

“It’s always been my passion to own my own business,” Durante said. “I went to school for marketing and business and I love planning events and coming up with new exciting ideas.” ••

Help support rare disease research Health tip for American Heart Month

U

plifting Athletes, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization that inspires the rare disease community with hope through the power of sport, announced plans for the third annual Young Investigator Draft, presented

by CSL Behring, taking place on Saturday, March 7, at Lincoln Financial Field.

The football theme of the Young Investigator Draft is inspired by the NFL Draft. Instead of drafting emerging young football talent, this draft turns the spotlight on the next generation of promising young medical researchers who are “drafted” and awarded research grants by Uplifting Athletes to help them pursue new treatments and potential cures for many of the world’s rarest diseases.

“The Young Investigator Draft serves as a powerful celebration of research within the field of rare diseases, providing a platform to distribute research funding to up-and-coming young researchers and honoring our ‘Rare Disease Champion Team’ ”, said

Rob Long, executive director of Uplifting Athletes. “We’re proud to have already awarded $180,000 in grants over the past two years alone and look forward to continued success. With every new year, we discover brilliant young researchers who help us learn more about these underserved diseases.”

“CSL Behring is proud to continue sponsoring this innovative program that supports emerging science and rare disease research,” added Kevin Kovaleski, vice president, Global Commercial Development, Transplant, CSL Behring. “The Young Investigator Draft reinforces our promise to patients by empowering researchers to focus on the rare disease community.”

One in 10 Americans are affected by rare diseases. That’s a higher percentage than cancer and AIDS combined.

There is very little support for rare disease research, especially compared to funding for more common diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Uplifting Athletes’ emphasis for the 2020 Young Investigator Draft is on building greater audience participation

for the draft event as well as inviting more medical research-related corporate sponsorship and involvement in the event.

Visit the Young Investigator Draft Facebook event page at bit. ly/2020YID to participate in the draft.

GAMP grad Tran earns Comcast scholarship

C

omcast NBCUniversal Foundation last week honored two college students with the Gustave G. Amsterdam Leadership Award at the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia’s annual mayoral luncheon.

Comcast Senior Executive Vice President David L. Cohen presented Jasmine Tran and Sabab Bhuiyan each with a $5,000 scholarship award at the luncheon, held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Finalists for the Gus Amsterdam Leadership Awards are chosen from the winners of the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation’s Leaders and Achievers scholarships. The nationwide Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program recognizes high school seniors who demonstrate outstanding community service, exceptional academic performance and strong leadership skills.

“We believe that developing the next generation of leaders begins in the classroom – with education playing a key role in developing citizens who will go on to improve our local com-

Jasmine Tran munities and beyond,” Cohen said.

“Gus cared deeply about Philadelphia and its young people, and he would have been proud of this year’s honorees, Jasmine and Sabab.”

Tran graduated from Girard Academic Music Program, where she excelled both in and out of the classroom. In addition to playing piano and

violin, and singing in the choir, she was involved in numerous clubs and programs, including the Red Cross Club; Yearbook Club; Vietlead, a Vietnamese community-based organization; and “ASPire,” which stands for “After School Program: imagine, reach, explore.” Her passion for community service, including her time at MANNA, where she has been an active volunteer since ninth grade, taught her important life and leadership skills, which she carries with her as she studies to become a physician assistant at Temple University.

The other honoree was Sabab Bhuiyan, a graduate of Northeast High School.

Gus Amsterdam was a Philadelphia business leader, community advocate and founding board member of Comcast Corporation. He dedicated much of his time and energy to the community and to improving education. A graduate of Central High School and the University of Pennsylvania, he was committed to civic and educational activities in Philadelphia throughout his life.

n celebration of American Heart Month, ShopRite’s registered dietitians are helping customers learn about heart-healthy foods and recipes, and continuing to offer free nutrition services like one-on-one counseling, grocery store tours and product samplings.

Plus, during the month of February, customers can download a recipe book filled with meal ideas that can fit into a heart-healthy diet at https://shoprite. com/mealsmadewell.

“We’re committed to letting our customers and associates know that even modest changes to diet and lifestyle can improve heart health and lower risk for heart disease,” said Natalie Menza-Crowe, Wakefern’s Director of Health and Wellness. “As part of our ongoing health and wellness programs, we’re excited to present a recipe book filled with meal ideas that have been chosen by our chefs and dietitians that can easily fit into a heart-healthy diet.”

Shoppers can pick up the free recipe book at the office of their local ShopRite dietitian (while supplies last), or download a copy at https://shoprite. com/mealsmadewell.

Menza-Crowe said managing your diet, keeping fit and watching your blood pressure are just a few important to-dos when it comes to taking care of your heart.

Her tips include: • Eat more ‘good’ fats. “Avocados are a great example of a heart-healthy fat that can add flavor and nutrition to nearly any meal.”

• Incorporate whole grains (and more fiber) when you can. “There’s a whole world of whole wheat breads and pastas out there. If you’re just starting to incorporate whole grains into your diet, try mixing whole wheat and regular pasta into one dish.”

• Enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables.

“If you don’t have time to get to the store as often as you’d like, stock up on frozen fruits and veggies, and add them as needed to meals or, for fruits, try experimenting with smoothies.”

Limit added sugars. “Sugar can sneak up in places you’d never suspect.

Being mindful of what you’re eating and drinking, and keeping an eye on food information labels is the easiest way to stay on top of your sugar consumption.”

Have more questions about ways to keep your heart healthy? Stop in the office of your local in-store dietitian, or reach out online with a question via ShopRite’s virtual dietitian chat – available by logging into www.shoprite.com.

“It also gives the chance to showcase some new places to come up.”

The prix fixe menus will be at three different price points: $15, $25 and $35. According to Leiter, that’s new this year.

“You can find a spot that matches your budget,” he said.

Ciro Lubrano, operating partner at La Scala’s Birra, said his restaurant uses Restaurant Week as an opportunity to tell the world that his restaurant is about more than just pizza.

“We’re known for having a top 10 pizza in the city,” said Lubrano, “but during Restaurant Week, we put a lot of homemade pasta and chicken and seafood on the menu.”

Marlo Dilks, co-owner of P’unk Burger, uses Restaurant Week to showcase some of the restaurant’s “funner burgers,” like the Greek Burger (beef, olive tapenade, roasted peppers, goat cheese) or the Vegan Southwest Beyond Burger (plant-based Beyond Meat, caramelized onions, poblano peppers, avocado, pico de gallo, vegan chipotle mayo).

“Normally, there’s only one special burger each month,” said Dilks. “At Restaurant Week, almost every burger on the menu is special.”

Dilks said that Restaurant Week is especially great for gaining new customers.

“About 75% of the customers are new,” she said.

Scanlon sponsors Public Radio Music Day Act U.S. Reps. Mary Gay Scanlon and Steve Chabot, an Ohio Republican, introduced the Public Radio Music Day Act to celebrate local public radio music stations and their service to listeners, artists and communities across America. Sens. Chris Coons and Roy Blunt have introduced a companion resolution in the Senate.

Every week, more than 20 million American listeners tune in to local non-commercial radio stations to discover, learn about and enjoy music selections, artists and genres that

are – in many cases – available only on public radio. More than 700 public radio stations serve rural and urban communities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam.

This resolution will designate April 16, 2020 as Public Radio Music Day. “Our public radio stations are the gateway to the world for listeners across the country,” Scanlon said. “Public radio stations offer audiences, musicians and artists a platform for in-

novative and diverse music programming on air, online and on the go. These public service music stations encourage and showcase new and emerging local artists to construct deep and lasting relationships with audiences in our congressional districts. I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing a bicameral, bipartisan resolution to designate April 16, 2020 as Public Radio Music Day, and to continue to support access to public radio music stations for all audiences.” ••

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW | FEBRUARY 19, 2020 | SOUTHPHILLYREVIEW.COM

BRIEFS

City voters to decide on proposed Department of Labor

MARK ZIMMARO/South Philly Review

Nick Carchidi (left) shows old photos of his football days with other members of the Chadmoore Alumni Association at the Phily Diner in Runnemede, New Jersey.

CHADMOORE: Friends for life <<Continued from page 1 ers himself a second-generation member, having joined the club in the 1950s. “They decided to have a sports and social club. Sports was the biggie. Then it was events. The more and more people got the word, the more it grew.”

After originally using a heatless garage to hold weekly meetings in the late 1940s, the small group migrated to the back room of a candy shop, before eventually investing rent into a club at 1838 S. Bancroft St. (now known as Jiminy Cricket’s Club and American Legion Post 200). The Chadmoore Athletic Club, deriving its name from a combination of Chadwick and Moore streets, grew to 108 members at its peak and supported sports teams, held dances and block parties and, most importantly, held themselves to a high standard.

“They ran everything,” said member Pat Tricocci. “They ran the dances, they swept the floors and cleaned the bathrooms. There was no business support or grants to help out. They sustained it themselves.”

Tricocci now lives in Runnemede, New Jersey and has the good fortune of being the closest member to the Phily Diner and Sports Bar on the Black Horse Pike. It’s the current location for a monthly get-together for the remaining members of the club. About a dozen members braved some chilly rain last Thursday to munch on omelettes and hash browns while rehashing stories of the glory days.

“I remember when TV first came out at the club,” said Orazio “Zic” Ziccardi, now a Marlton resident and the leader of the club’s steering committee. “Tuesday nights there would be a show on, which was great because it wasn’t every night that there was something on. We’d

put chairs around the TV and watch. It became the place to be because no one had TVs yet.”

Ziccardi said the club had ping pong and billiards tables, and a piano on the upper floor.

It eventually became a hotspot for local musicians looking to grow their popularity. Club members were forced to learn how to dance or pay a 25-cent fee. Most did eventually learn by practicing with their sisters at home and it paid off, as several members were able to sweep their future wives off their feet at the club they loved so dearly.

“The biggest thing was most of us didn’t have to look for our wives,” Tricocci said.

“They were all coming up to the club. Probably 80 or 90 percent of us met our wives at the club.”

Late-night dances eventually phased out as the club moved out in the ‘60s but the members kept the relationships tight. Other forms of entertainment such as golf outings and crabbing trips prevailed.

And there’s always been sports.

Nick Carchidi, now a Mount Laurel resident, was thumbing through a scrapbook of old football memories when one of his buddies shouted, “Don’t forget who blocked for you!” from across the long L-shaped table in the diner. Carchidi was inducted into South Philadelphia High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989.

“I joined this group after my brother (Vince Carchidi) played football with Chadmoore,” Nick said. “I’m now sitting in this seat (at the end of the table) because that’s where he always sat.”

Vince passed away in November and was

added to a long list of names of members who were honored over the years with an annual memorial Mass followed by a buffet. More than 100 names are read off and honored, and a club banner with the words “Friends For Life” is displayed on the altar.

After more than 20 years of holding the memorial Mass, members say the one held in November will likely be the last.

“We had to tell everybody it’s over,” said Ziccardi. “For 24 years we did this, but people were dying off and we couldn’t fill the church anymore. It has to end sometime, and we feel like we ended it on a high note.”

The club, however, shows no signs of slowing down. Aside from the monthly breakfast at the Phily Diner, the group picks a late-season Eagles game each year to watch at Chickie’s & Pete’s in South Philly each year. This past December, they had more than 120 people come out for the game, which included family members and friends.

Rocco Gigante, an original member, and a Korean War Air Force veteran who is now 92 years old, says he loves still getting together with the guys whenever he can.

“It’s fantastic,” he said. “We have the old guys, the middle guys and the young guys in their 70s and we all keep in touch. It all started as a group of guys hanging out on a corner but we just wanted to be more organized.”

And they’re still extremely organized threequarters of a century later. A younger Persico would have had a tough time believing it.

“Hard to say,” Persico said. “I got into it to play sports. I was 13 years old and I was elated that I was old enough to come play 115-pound football that was totally organized. Looking back, it never even dawned on me that we’d be here all these years later.” ••

City Council passed legislation sponsored

by Councilwoman Helen Gym (D- at large) and Bobby Henon (D-6th dist.) that creates a permanent Department of Labor and Board of Labor Standards with expanded resources and staff and improved investigatory powers.

The department would enforce new and existing city labor laws, resolve disputes between workers and employers and issue fines and other penalties as deemed necessary. A key focus is overseeing all sexual harassment and discrimination complaints within city agencies. The law would change the Home Rule Charter, and voters will decide on the April 28 ballot.

The new Department of Labor would enforce a body of local labor laws, such as wage theft, Fair Workweek, prevailing wage and paid sick leave. That includes investigating complaints, enforcing penalties for violations and educating workers on their rights and employers on their responsibilities. Collective bargaining agreements of city employees would also be negotiated and administered by the department. It would be responsible for monitoring city contracts for compliance with labor laws, including wage and diversity requirements as well as analyzing workforce data to identify opportunities to improve working conditions and more effectively enforce protections.

“Workers have organized to push this city towards a future where the rights of all workers are protected in every workplace,” Gym said. “I’m proud to have sponsored Fair Workweek – one of the many bills that came out of this growing movement. But laws are only as good as our power to enforce them. With a Department of Labor, and the resources that go with it, Philadelphia will balance the scales between vulnerable workers and their employers.”

“This charter change will allow the city to oversee and ensure that the laws we already have on the books, like paid sick leave and Fair Workweek, are enforced and upheld,” Henon said. “A permanent Department of Labor that is given the resources and staff to succeed will tackle real issues that face working people, like the misclassification of workers, labor negotiations and the need for family and medical leave.” ••

What They Are Saying: “After listing twice before with a different realtor and no movement whatsoever, The Conway Team was recommended to me by a friend. I should kiss that friend because Pat & Kathy are amazing! From the beginning I knew I was working with someone professional and highly experienced. They made recommendations on minor condo updates to make it more sellable, which made a huge difference. My condo went on the market on a Monday, I got two offers that Saturday. This is the first time I’ve sold a home and it’s a stressful process, but Pat & Kathy supported me the whole time, calling to check in on me and share updates. It put my mind completely at ease knowing he had my back. I’ve already recommended him to a few people in my old building — they are that good! If I ever decide to come back to Philly, I will be turning to The Conway Team again.”

EAGLES INSIDER

Carmichael overjoyed at Hall of Fame nod

T

he tears have dried. Harold Carmichael has had so many of them since he found out that he would be heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the special Centennial Class celebrating the NFL’s 100th season, a honor he’s been hoping for, praying for, since his career ended in 1984.

“I’ve been crying like a baby,” Carmichael said. “This is the ultimate honor, the greatest of my life.”

If you’re old enough to remember Harold Carmichael, you know that he was a giant on the football field -- a 6-foot-8 pass catcher who stood out like a giraffe. He was more than just height as he helped the Eagles go from an awful football team in the early 1970s to Super Bowl XV in the 1980 season.

SPORTS

Carmichael, a seventh-round draft pick in ’71, still holds Eagles franchise records with 589 receptions, 8,978 yards and 79 touchdowns.

Even after all these years and the inflated passing statistics, the records still stand and that’s a remarkable test of time.

At the time of his retirement from the NFL, Carmichael ranked fifth all time in total receptions and his 127 consecutive games with at least one reception was a league record. He

Dave

Spadaro

seemed like a sure thing for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Yeah, 36 years later. “It was tough waiting at times,” Carmichael said.

“Frustrating. You learn that you can only control what you can control, and so I had to be patient and just keep hoping and praying. My day finally came, and I couldn’t be happier. It was well worth the wait. I’m blessed.”

Carmichael was voted into the Hall in mid-January and he’s still waiting to find out what it all means. He spent time during the Super Bowl week in Miami signing autographs and posing for his Hall of Fame bust, so he had a taste of the life then. But, moving forward, the expectation is that Carmichael will spend a lot of time traveling and representing the league and

the Hall of Fame at events around the world serving as an ambassador for the NFL. “I’m going to have fun with this.

That’s what it’s all about,” Carmichael said. “From the moment I made it to the NFL, I took it seriously and knew that I had to conduct myself at the highest standards. It was an honor to play in the NFL. This Hall of Fame is the cherry on the top. The game owed nothing to me. To know that now I’m going to be out there representing the NFL as a member of the Hall of Fame, that’s a dream come true and I’m going to treat it that way.”

Current Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is only 65 receptions away from passing Carmichael for all-time Eagles career catches, but the yardage and

touchdown marks are still firmly in Carmichael’s grasp. His is a career that looks better and better the longer we are away from its time, because of the extraordinary longevity of his accomplishments.

“Somehow, people forgot about Harold,” former Eagles wide receiver and current radio analyst Mike Quick said. “Maybe it was because of all the bad teams he played for. The guy took a beating out there and never missed games and he was extremely productive. He was a dominating player. He deserves his due. And he deserves every bit of joy he gets out of it for the rest of his life.”

For Carmichael, then, the tears are all dried. It’s all smiles and sunshine from this point forward. ••

Laughton finally looking comfortable with Flyers

By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

Y

ears ago, Scott Laughton would have dealt with straggly hair or the overgrown sideburns. A hot streak would have meant absolutely no change to the daily routine.

But a much more mature and a much more secure Scott Laughton, now 25 years old, approaches things a bit differently these days when he’s on a scoring streak.

“I just got a haircut last night,” Laughton said with a laugh. “I was way more superstitious in junior (hockey) but it’s been a while so whatever happens, happens. That’s the way I go about it now.”

That conversation was a few weeks ago when Laughton’s goal streak reached a season-high three games following a victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Feb. 3.

The scoring touch is coming a bit more easily and a bit more naturally for Laughton, a former first-round pick who has endured, and overcome his early career struggles.

“You’re a pretty big fish in a small pond in juniors,” Laughton said. “You come from scoring all those points and being on the power play and penalty kill, playing 25 minutes a night. Then you come here and you’re playing

against the best players in the world.

It’s a little bit different. You need to find things that work for you and little details that work in your game that can help you stick around.”

To Laughton’s credit, he’s done just that.

It wasn’t the easiest transition to the NHL for Laughton, who scored 143 points in 103 games in his final two seasons of junior hockey with the Oshawa Generals. He spent the next season and a half with the Flyers, playing in 102 games and totaling just nine goals and 18 assists during that span.

The next season (2016-17), he played just two games with the Flyers and the rest with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Laughton had reached a crossroads as a young player, trying to make it in the big league. He played center, he played wing, he changed to a more defensive mindset. He did whatever it takes.

“It’s just finding a way to stick around,” Laughton recalled. “It’s hard to make the NHL but it’s harder to stay. That’s why you have to bring something every night. Something that can help the team and whatever position I’m playing, I just try to help.”

Then-general manager Ron Hextall took notice and took a leap of faith, deciding to protect Laughton in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, exposing veteran Pierre-Edouard Bellemare,

who was eventually taken by the Vegas Golden Knights.

The season with the Phantoms had done Laughton a lot of good, as he produced 39 points in 60 games under coach Scott Gordon.

“I definitely think opportunity had come as soon as (Scott Gordon) came in and I started to get more opportunity and play more minutes,” Laughton said. “When you start playing more minutes, you start getting more comfortable and making more plays. When you’re playing six, seven minutes, it’s tough to get things going but also just learning the league and knowing what you can and can’t do and becoming a pro.”

Since then, Laughton has been a mainstay with the Flyers and has developed into one of the most underappreciated players not named Sean Couturier. He shed the stigma of having to be a goal scorer based on where he was drafted, and Laughton has become a valuable player who is trusted in every situation.

“You always put pressure on yourself,” Laughton said. "I’ve always been my hardest critic and I know when I’m not playing my best. There’s a lot of pressure but there’s also a lot more opportunity when you’re picked in the first round and they give you some chances to stick around.”

Laughton made the best of those

Flyers forward Scott Laughton takes part in a recent practice at the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees. Laughton, a former first-round draft pick, has become a valuable player after reshaping his game. chances and he’s even starting to show flashes of offense more regularly, scoring 18 points in 39 games, prior to Tuesday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

And looking back at the 2012 Draft, the Flyers did pretty well to snag Laughton with the 20th overall pick in the 2012 Entry Draft, all things considered.

The first four picks went: Nail Yakupov (now in the KHL), Ryan Murray (bottom four defenseman for Colum-

bus); Alex Galchenyuk (traded three times in three and a half years); and Griffin Reinhart (KHL).

There were some studs mixed in there, too (Morgan Rielly, Philip Forsberg, Tomas Hertl) before Laughton’s name was called but nothing terribly impressive for the next few rounds.

The Flyers got a dependable, flexible player and they signed him to a reasonable $2.3 million cap hit.

If he keeps up with his new role, he won’t be needing a lucky rabbit’s foot.

SPORTS

Sixers coach and players think they are putting it together for a run

By Al Thompson

T

FOR

THE

REVIEW

he Philadelphia 76ers went into the allstar break with a 34-21 record and 27 games left on the schedule.

Coach Brett Brown will try to coach enough wins from his talented, but underachieving team to climb out of the fifth seed, where it sits now.

The Sixers are a frustrating team to figure out.

They are 25-2 at home, the best record in the NBA. On the road, it’s a different team completely. The Sixers are 9-19 on the road, by percentage points the worst road record of teams listed in the eight playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.

The Sixers will not get out of the first round if they don’t start to produce wins on the road immediately.

The bench has not performed well on the road, for sure, but the glaring problem that the Sixers suffer from overall is the lack of chemistry between all-stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. That lack of symmetry sticks out more because this team struggles so much when it travels.

There was a sign, though, over the final three games before the break, that this situation is going to get better down the stretch.

Philadelphia went on a three-game winning streak, all at home, before the break, a stretch that saw the two stars truly complement each other.

Brown talked about the game they put together against the Los Angeles Clippers, widely regarded as a contender to come out of the Western Conference.

The Sixers knocked off the Kawhi Leonard-led Clippers 110-103 at the Wells Fargo Center. Simmons registered a triple-double, scoring 26 points, pulling down 12 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists.

Embiid grabbed nine rebounds, blocked a shot and scored 26 points in just 28 minutes.

The Sixers held the Clippers’ other star, Paul George, to just 11 points on 3-for-15 shooting from the floor.

Brown made a bold statement after the game about what he saw from his two superstars that he hasn’t seen in three seasons. Still Brown insisted that the level of play they showed has always been there.

“It didn’t surprise me,” Brown said. “I think that when we add up Ben Simmons and Joel’s stat line … add up the points, add up the rebounds, add up the assists. It’s arguably the best game that those two have paired up with since I have been the coach here. I think that Joel and Ben, we put them in a lot of deep pick and rolls, we put them in a lot of high-low action … we’re talking about Joel, but the partnership with Ben and Joel needs to be acknowledged.”

Simmons said he agreed with his coach.

“I think the chemistry was good,” the 23-yearold said after the game. “With me finding him.

With him being a force down low and getting open, it just went well tonight. I think we did a good job of getting mismatches and finding them.”

Simmons may see more time at the two or three spot, especially at the end of games when teams foul the ball handler. For his career, Simmons shoots just 59.5 percent from the free throw line.

The 6-foot-10 point guard says he has no problem with how Brown plays him.

“I just love being a player,” said Simmons, who has hit 56.1 percent of his shots from the floor over his three-year career. “I don’t put myself at any one position because I’m so versatile and can guard any player at any position, one through five. I’m just happy to be out there and playing.”

Embiid said he was glad to see the improvements by the whole team on the court.

“It meant a lot,” the fourth-year center said. “It feels good. Everybody played well, we played together. The ball moved. We needed it. The second half of the season, I think, is going to be extremely fun.”

Embiid has had some battles with fans recently who are not happy with his efforts this year.

For various reasons, he has played in just 39 of the Sixers’ 55 games this season. The most games Embiid has played in one year is 64 (2018-19). The 25-year-old says he wants only love from Sixers fans and wants to deliver a title.

“It’s all love,” Embiid said. “I’ve been here for a long time now. We have a special relationship. I’m happy to be here. I can’t wait for the future, especially this year, because I think we can accomplish something great.”

Embiid was asked if he thinks Sixers fans still have his back.

“For sure, for sure,” he said. “I understand

After the last Sixers game before the al-star break, guard Ben Simmons said he is looking forward to better on-court chemistry with center Joel Embiid. where they’re coming from. But I do know they got my back. I’m still here. This is still my city.

We’re going to keep pushing and try and bring that championship.”

The Sixers look like they should win 50 or more games this season. That would mark three 50-win seasons in a row. This franchise has not had backto-back-to-back 50-win seasons since the Julius Erving era. The Doctor led the 76ers to nine 50-win seasons over 10 years (1976-77 to 1985-86), seven in a row and four trips to the NBA finals, winning the championship in 1983.

This group has a long way to go to walk with those Sixers teams, but the talent is there.

Brown says the reality of coaching this lineup is

that it is a unique lineup. It has taken a long time to find a way for this group to come together. He says he thinks that the time is almost here.

“I say this in an excited way, it’s not a traditional-type team, it isn’t,” Brown said. “If it’s taken us this long to try to continue to figure some things out and we arrive at a place that we’re all happy with, that we’re prepared for the playoffs, it’s worth it. We poked ourselves in the eye about two months ago, seems forever ago, and now I think we’re second or third in the NBA in scoring, so it served us well. We’re learning. We’re moving along and we’re learning.” •• Follow Al Thompson on Twitter @thompsoniii

Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, who light all roads, so that I can obtain my goals, you who give me the divine gift to forgive & forget all evils against me, and that in all instances of my life you are with me.

I wish to be with you in eternal glory Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. (Say for 3 consecutive days, after 3 days your request will be granted, even if it may appear difficult. This prayer must be published immediately after favor is granted) C.C.

Dear Jesus - Prayer for Favors Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past, I have asked for many favors. This time, I ask you this very special one (Mention Favor). Take it dear Jesus and place it within your own broken heart. where your father sees it.

Then, in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine. Amen. Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and your favor will be granted.

Never known to fail. LCS THANK YOU BLESSED MOTHER for Answering My Prayers in a Positive Way. Pray the Rosary. G.L.
