Reyes of light A Whitma Whitman an rresident esident will have her artist artistic tic w work ork honored at a Center-City ceremony. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

M A Marconi girls’ basketball team clinched its third straight region title and undefeated season.

any artists depend on despondency for inspiration, and though Denise Reyes understands their penchant for relying on despair, she prefers picking positive topics to motivate her right hand. Sunday’s visitors to Center City’s Philadelphia Sketch Club will see her insistence on joy, as the

18-year-old senior at Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., will receive an artistic excellence commendation for a vibrant self-portrait at the 29th annual High School Art Show. The recognition will mark the second-straight year the Pennsport institution has had an honoree and will give the local creator more cause to celebrate life’s levity. “I try to make uplifting work,” the resident of the 100 block of Gladstone Street said Friday at her secondary site. “I usually focus on traditions from

Mexico and put in cartoon-like elements for fun.” As her father had already been working in the United States, Reyes, her mother and brother moved from Monterrey, Mexico nearly three years ago and settled in Whitman. With no artistic background or inclination, she soon found her lessons at Furness enthralling, with teacher Meredith McDonald encouraging each stroke. See SKETCH CLUB page 10 >>

Word on the Street What are your thoughts on the City’s Actual Value Initiative that will take effect next year? “It’s outrageous for Pennsport. My rent will go up most likely and I’m barely making enough as it is to survive. I’ll probably have to move.� Joan Weisback, Front Street and Snyder Avenue “It’s going to take more out of my pay because rent will probably go up. It’s a lose-lose situation whether I stay at my current location or look for another apartment.� Yexmarie Alicea, Fifth and Tasker streets “It’s not going to affect me as much since I’m renting from family. Hopefully, they won’t raise the rent on me.� Sean Jackson, Seventh and Johnston streets “It’s going to be hard on people making minimum wage, and income isn’t going up. It’s going to mess with the city’s economy more. I’ll probably have to get another job if the rent goes up.� Linda Chaney, Ninth and Tasker streets

Tapped out

To the Editor: Property taxes are way out of line, particularly in South Philadelphia. Has anyone been inside of most of these homes in our area? Through a state grant 25 years ago for low-income people, I had new bricks installed on my house. In the meantime, the entire interior is falling apart. I had an insurance claim from water damage, and the amount given to me very quickly ran out, so I was unable to have the work completed. I now live in a complete shack. “Low income� should really be changed to “impossible income.� The government still won’t increase it to a livable wage — the minuscule increase of the minimum wage is a fiasco that makes certain that we remain poor. With a decent income we would all have much more to spend and give the economy a much-needed boost. Most people don’t have jobs, and those who do have to live on truly sinful wages and resort to food banks in order to feed their families. Did the City raise our property taxes into the stratosphere in order to force us to move into a slum area where we would be forced to rent rather than to own? The word has to be gentrify, so that developers can swarm in and buy the properties at a steal — and a steal it would be. This is what happens when you have millionaires and the very wealthy running very important, prestigious political offices, and haven’t a clue what the real world is like. Would they ever consider taking a cut in their wages to help our pitiful and staggering economy? No. Instead they, keep raising the cost of everything like property taxes, food and gasoline. Increase on those who have no more to give, but the wealthy don’t want to pay any taxes at all. Do you not smell the rotten equation here? What happens to people like me — a low-incomer who has lived in this house since 1951 and who can’t keep up with the increases? After all of these years, I’ll have to leave my house and go where? I’m too old to be a bank robber because a gun is too heavy and I can’t run anymore. I know — I’ll go under the 10th Street bridge,

my new 19148 home. I’m almost 86 years old, and with the time I have left, I must live in absolute fear for the little future there is left for me. How cruel and blackhearted. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

Reducing the risks To the Editor: This past weekend’s painful tragedies on roads across the tri-state area remind us that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens. Due to their inexperience, overconfidence and risktaking behaviors, teens are involved in more crashes per mile than drivers of any other age group. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety research recently established that the risk of being involved in a deadly crash increases for young drivers when carrying passengers, as compared to driv-

ing alone. This research supports AAA’s efforts with other safety advocates and state legislators to strengthen graduated drivers’ licensing programs and encourage greater parental involvement to help reduce the risk of death and injury from car crashes. With AAA’s help, Pennsylvania now has a stronger teen-driving law that limits the number of nonfamily passengers, and requires 15 more hours of practice before taking the driver’s license test. We have made great strides in identifying and mitigating risky driving conditions for teens, but as this weekend showed too much is at stake to not strive to do more to keep our youngest and most vulnerable drivers safer on the roads.

Seeking penial penalty A singer who hails from Queen Village is suing over a phone application that beared his name and estimated the size of male genitalia. ■ By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

“T

he Chubby Checker,” a mobile application that claimed to be able to determine the measurement of any man’s package via his shoe size, has caused the man for which the app allegedly was named “irreparable injury,” according to a lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court Feb. 12. Willie Gary, the attorney representing Ernest Evans, aka Chubby Checker, 71, of Conshohocken, is seeking $500,000 for his client, claiming the alleged intentional use of Evans’ name “with the obscene, sexual connotation and images evoked by [the] app … will diminish and destroy the positive associations the public has of the Chubby Checker name and mark,” according to the lawsuit. Evans, a South Carolina native who grew up on the 500 block of Christian Street, is best known for his 1960 hit, “The Twist.” He recently released his latest single, “Changes” on the Teec Recording Co. label. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office gave Evans’ nickname copyrighted designations for live performances and appearances, as well as for recordings and memorabilia in 1998 and 2005, respectively. His Conshohocken-based, for-profit brands, Ernest Evans Corp. and The Last Twist Inc., which sells food, such as meats, popcorn, candy and spring water, received trademarks within the last decade. The app became available in ’06, according to the lawsuit, which named HewlettPackard Co. and Palm Inc., a smart-phone company that Hewlett-Packard purchased in 2010 but whose products it discontinued a year later, as the defendants in the case. “The application was not created by HP or Palm. It was removed in September 2012 and is no longer on any Palmor HP-hosted website,” Michael Thacker, HP’s corporate media relations director, said in a statement on the laptop corporation’s compliance to a cease and desist letter Gary sent in September. MagicApps created the app, but was not named in the lawsuit, which includes six counts: Federal and common law trademark infringement and unfair competition; federal trademark dilution; and unauthorized use of name or likeness. Checker is seeking compensation for damages, as well as triple the profits, which would equal about $250 since the 99-cents app

sold 84 copies, according to the website that sold it.

Crimestoppers A man armed with a rifle robbed a quintet of men last week in Marconi Plaza. Brandon McCullough, 22, of the 2700 block of South 18th Street, allegedly attempted to rob two 21-, two 23- and a 25-year-old with a loaded rifle at 12:01 a.m. Feb. 13, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The men fought back, unarming McCullough and causing him to flee westbound on Oregon Avenue empty-handed. Police spotted and arrested the alleged offender at a bus stop at 19th Street and Oregon Avenue. McCullough was charged with five counts of robbery, simple assault, attempted receiving stolen property, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person.

Inventory clearance A Passyunk Square pharmacy was robbed and raided for narcotics. Two unknown men entered Bertolino’s Pharmacy, 1500 S. 12th St., at 10:37 a.m. Feb. 11, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the men was armed with a silver handgun and ordered everyone, including the location’s 48-year-old owner, to the floor as he and his accomplice stole an undisclosed amount of cash from the register, prescription drugs and cigarettes before fleeing northbound on 12th. Five witnesses also were inside the store during the robbery, but no one was injured, Tolliver said. Police did not release a detailed description of the offenders by press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

A stitch in crime When two West Passyunk roommates couldn’t reconcile their differences, one threatened the other and slashed her face multiple times. Montina Love, 52, and her 57-year-old female roommie allegedly were arguing in the front, upstairs bedroom in their residence on the 1800 block of Hoffman Street at 10:34 p.m. Saturday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the dispute became phys-

POLICE REPORT ical, unidentified individuals separated the two. At that time, Love is believed to have told her roommate, “When I come back, I’m gonna kick your ....” She allegedly retreated to her room and returned with an unknown sharp object and cut the woman’s face multiple times before the individuals broke up the pair again, Tolliver said. A medic unit transported the injured woman in stable condition to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where she received stitches to close several lacerations to her forehead and left temple and to treat a swollen left eye, Tolliver said. Love was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats, possession of an instrument and recklessly endangering another person.

Chalking it up A Point Breeze facility has reinstituted classes for those lacking a high school diploma. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

A

s she addressed division and multiplication problems Monday morning at Programs Employing People, 1200 S. Broad St., Vanessa Levonchuck felt fortunate to number herself among a committed trio of learners looking to solve them and the fractions that would follow. Courtesy of a Mayor’s Commission on Literacy grant, the Point-Breeze location has resumed its educational services and GED classes for area individuals after a 20-month hiatus, with Levonchuck especially eager to bolster her knowledge and prospects. “I’m expecting to learn as much as possible and get on with my future,” the resident of Seventh Street and Oregon Avenue said on her program’s initial day of instruction. “I really believe in myself this time, so I’m looking forward to all the lessons.” The confident classroom occupant, who cut short her studies as a sophomore at Parkway Center City High School for undisclosed reasons, also can count herself among the nearly 200,000 Philadelphians who lack a high school diploma, according to the 2011 IBM Smarter Cities Challenge Report. Wanting to rid herself of dropout status, she had tried to study for her equivalency on her own and had enrolled at Center City’s Career and Academic Development Institute before finding her current spot online. The facility, which after 20 years had to discontinue its adult community education offerings in June ’11 because of funding issues, landed Levonchuck and her peers through the endowing agency and matched them with instructor Jessica Jones, an alumnus of Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St. “We are hoping to work with as many as 45 students by the end of June,” adult education coordinator Lisa Hannum said, noting her employer, which opened in 1969 primarily to provide education, recreation and job placement services to those with intellectual disabilities, had a waiting list when the original lessons ended. “We have so many people whose troubles functioning in society will persist if they don’t improve their skills.” The inhabitant of the 1300 block of Dickinson Street explained the host is dividing pupils into two tracks based on their Tests of Adult Basic Education results, with

basic level guidance in the morning and advanced level tutelage in the afternoon. Over what Hannum envisions as two nineweek cycles, attendees will boost their math, reading and writing comprehension through contextualized learning, or instruction built upon workforce-based lessons involving real world connections. In other words, it is providing answers to the frequent high school-situated inquiry, “When am I ever going to use this stuff?” “We’re not going to restrict our classes to only people who need their GED,” the Passyunk Square supervisor said of the free assistance, “because so many people who graduate are passed through with no skills by schools that have too many underachieving enrollees. We have to do more for them, and they have to come to expect more from themselves.” THAT EQUATION MAKES sense to Cory Rowley, one of 500,000 city residents who are ineligible for 62 percent of employment opportunities because of low literacy skills, according to a 2012 Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower and Rebuild study. The Northeast Philly figure possesses a diploma but found herself stumped when seeking a vocation.

“I know people who had their instructors just pass them to be done with them,” Rowley said. “I wasn’t among them, but I felt I had very little direction.” She enrolled at DeVry University but failed to take a liking to the curriculum and again set herself to obtaining a path. With an interest in nursing, she knows her math and reading mastery must improve and having tasted college, albeit briefly, she could not overlook a difference between remedial postsecondary lessons and her present endeavors. “What I’m learning now, people have to pay so much for at places like Community College of Philadelphia,” Rowley said. “This is free, so I don’t see the problem with committing myself to everything that’s going to be presented to me.” Once she reaches 15 hours of classroom time, Rowley will receive a career coach from the site’s community integrated employment department and will gain help with preparing her résumé, bolstering her soft skills, developing a career pathway, handling mock interviews and readying for job fairs. A veteran of GED classes, Breana Black also desires distinction as a nurse and covets competency in math and writing. As Jones introduced some fraction problems, her third charge nodded in recognition of the day’s heavy emphasis on a weak area.

“Plenty of trials and tribulations have led me to this moment where I’m putting the focus on me,” Black, a North Philly resident, said of finding the class through an Internet search. “I’m definitely here to learn and get ahead.” Doing so seems very likely with Jones at the helm. A resident of the 2400 block of Christian Street, the teacher holds a sociology degree from Temple University and had assisted Programs Employing People’s mentally delayed individuals before receiving an offer from Hannum to intensify her educational experience. “It’s the first day and I’m a little nervous, but everyone has been very patient and eager,” Jones said. Her future participants likely will possess the same attitude, as she and Hannum noted that agencies are encouraging learners to pass their GED examinations before the state introduces new tests Jan. 1 and nullifies existing scores. For Levonchuck, having a deadline will only enhance her attention span. “I want to get it done, for sure,” she said, adding she has a few career options. “Because of what I’m seeing today, I think I’ll do it.” SPR For more information, call 215-952-4272.

SKETCH CLUB continued from page 1 “I have learned almost everything I know from her,” Reyes said of interactions with her advanced placement art instructor, who will attend the ceremony with her. “She is very patient and supportive.” The Queen Village inhabitant submitted five students’ creations for consideration by the 152-year-old club, seeing sound technical skill as a boon for Reyes. She told her pupil of her selection earlier this month, with the teenager experiencing shock. “I said, ‘Really, me? Are you sure it’s me?’” Reyes said. “I just think so many people are better than I am that I’m still amazed.” The astonished student had not placed much stock in being receptive to art tutelage, figuring it simply would serve as a graduation requirement. When the young artist began to show aptitude, however, she doubled her discipline within the discipline and came to claim painting as her favorite way to convey her identity. “I like the freedom that comes with being an artist,” Reyes, whose current concentration focuses on landscapes of her hometown, said. “It feels good to be able to go from a sketch to a full work, too.” With allegiance to perseverance as a guide, she has constructed approximately 20 pieces, calling on acrylics, chalks and pastels to present her happy hues. Her friends and relatives have provided great feedback, with the latter, including a cousin whose graffiti art prowess she counts as an influence, especially impressed. “Everyone is so proud, more so than me because I’m still surprised and probably will continue to be that way even when I go to the event,” Reyes said. THOUGH HER LINEAGE has offered kudos, she has yet to work on her craft within her home, making Furness her primary haven. Along with helping her to acquire the Sketch Club accolade, the facility placed her in contact with Bella Vista artist Michelle Ortiz, who last year recruited assistants for a mural on adolescent immigrants’ perspectives on forming new lives. “She came here for a workshop, and I loved that she wanted to involve me in her project,” Reyes said of the resident of 10th Street and Washington Avenue, who has received numerous plaudits for her mixed-media talent and has worked in, among many locations, Argentina, Mexico and Spain. Blessed with her first big chance to show her abilities, the young women joined eight area students last summer for discussions on immigration and the formation of “Aquí y Allá,” translated as “Here and There,” at 1515 S. Sixth St. Though her contribution

proved crucial, Reyes never experienced any trepidation. “No pressure at all,” she said of her sixweek assignment. “Everyone was so happy to work on it, especially me because it made me more interested in learning about my culture and other ones, too.” With that attitude, Reyes could come to serve as a spokeswoman for Furness, as it perfectly matches the mindset that firstyear principal Daniel Peou is looking to instill in his 552 learners. “This news is a great fit for what we are trying to do here, which is to expose our student body to as much culture as possible inside and outside of our walls,” the leader, who as a Cambodian refugee attended Furness when it was a junior high school, said. “For Denise, this is connecting her to the art world and bringing pride to her and her family.” Peou cited her selection; student participation in The Sustainability Workshop at The Navy Yard Quarters A, 1413 Langley Ave., which advocates for energy-efficient approaches to everyday life; and Furness enrollees’ taking classes at Center City’s Community College of Philadelphia as key components to furthering appreciation of what his group could achieve. “I do feel happy to represent Furness because it has given me courage to test my creativity,” Reyes said.

Though her heritage has produced lauded artists, including Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Reyes will not look to join the elites when she matriculates at Community College, as she intends to pursue a nursing career. “I want to work with children who have cancer,” she said, with a relative’s fight against leukemia as partial inspiration. As for sustaining her artistic acumen beyond her impending departure from Furness, Reyes figures her passion will not crack or fade away. She has pondered reaching out to Ortiz to discuss opportunities yet is not rushing to consider what might come of her dexterity. “I really think Denise could go as far as she wants to go as an artist,” McDonald said. “I believe she would be a great graphic designer or an illustrator.” No matter which vocation she chooses, Reyes plans to remain humble, with her humility set to take full effect Sunday. “I’d rather talk about the works of others than about mine really,” the artist, whose work also will appear at the School District of Philadelphia’s Young Artists Show at the end of the school year, said. “However, I do plan to see what others have done, especially if the work is colorful.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

roperty Assessment Notices for the 2014 tax year were mailed Friday and also are available online at opa.phila. gov. Some notices have been delayed and will be sent by March 1. “For decades, the property-tax system in Philadelphia has unfairly undervalued and over-assessed properties across the City,” Mayor Michael Nutter said in a statement. “Under [Actual Value Initiative], for the first time, property owners will see a fair and equitable tax system based on an accurate valuation of real properties. These assessment notices will be the first of many that demonstrate our commitment to industry best practices and a transformed approach to assessing properties.” However, property owners will be given a chance to appeal the valuation if they feel it is inaccurate via a First Level Review form, which must be filed by March 31. The City plans to generate the same amount of revenue in 2013 as it will in 2014 under the new system. About 40 percent of property owners will have a decrease or no change in real estate tax with a rate between 1.2 and 1.25 percent with no aid, according to the City. For those who had applied and were approved for a $30,000 Homestead Exemption, the rate rises to between 1.35 and 1.4 percent, but the City expects similar outcomes for owners.

any people find themselves forced to hold two jobs to sustain their livelihood, but Mariano Mattei pursues a pair of passions to maximize his enjoyment of life. The Girard Estate resident will offer samples of his interests Saturday at Philly Sound Studios, 2829 S. 18th St., where his band Real will debut its new lineup and attendees will feast on his culinary creations. “I enter the same Zen state with music as I do with cooking,” the inhabitant of the 1900 block of Shunk Street said last week from the two-year-old site, for which he serves as comanager, of blending his crafts. “For this show, I’ll continue to try to channel that energy by having us mingle new pieces with old songs and serving dishes straight from my heart.”

LIFESTYLES

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m

The South Philly native has his childhood to thank for his dual obsessions, with a constant aim to preserve that period in his memory leading him to write hot tunes and design warm plates. His musical outfit has experienced a few incarnations since its late-1990s formation and will perform at the Marconi space with two new faces among its four figures. For the 40-something guitarist and vocalist, the evening gig will further his group’s insistence on producing polished pieces that rely heavily on harmony and his promotion of delectable victuals. “I would classify us as straight-ahead rock musicians, high energy players whose songs, upon first listen, should be something you feel as if you have heard before,” Mattei said, noting their name derives from comments on how authentically they approach their themes, most notably the inescapable duo of love and loss. “I would say the songwriting has matured and that having such a bond among us as friends really furthers our sounds. When people come to our shows, we share bits about our friendships, so they’re living in our sitcom.” GREAT COMPANIONS HAVE helped the principal songwriter to issue five releases, with an emphasis on singles recently replacing

attention to constructing full-length albums, but he can credit a couple formative females for his ambition. “My mother, Rachel, plays accordion, and I can recall doing my math homework to the melody of ‘Hey Jude,’” the alumnus of St. Monica School, 16th and Porter streets, Central High School and Temple University said. “I studied classical guitar and when rock came into my life, I forgot everything else.” His grandmother, affectionately known as Nonna Gilda, gave him a yearning to master Italian cuisine, and upon the recent receipt of handwritten recipes, he set out to make audiences request second helpings along with encores. “We actually started lumping music and food together in 2009,” Mattei said of a beef-and-beer fundraiser that helped to cover the costs for that year’s “Welcome Distractions” compact disc. “I loved that people helped us, so we chose to go forward with a plan to offer quality food and a quality show all under one roof. To this day, I feel if you come to see us play, you’d better come hungry.” For Saturday’s outing, Mattei, who two weeks ago held his annual winter crab fest at his home with help from his wife, Joann, and their three children, will offer

his eponymously titled Italian truck-style porchetta, his family’s secret recipe for roast beef and a vegetarian zucchini salad. With plans to issue a cookbook by the end of the year, he is seeing the selections as further proof of his attraction to his kitchen’s call and of his inability to silence it. “When cooking, it’s almost like a meditative state where nothing can intervene or suppress my energy,” the connoisseur said. “Music, too, draws me in and looks to give me methods for working on myself and connecting with others.” The introspective individual, who also has tried solo work, began seeking a new sort of enlightenment in the late 1980s, heading The Edge, a group with similarly lofty aspirations for making meaningful messages. Its dissolution spawned Real, which Mattei describes on the band’s Facebook page as “sautéed in the stellar tradition of melodic pop-rock born in Philadelphia.” For the IBM employee, that classification has computed into constant discussions on direction and determination. “In six months of reforming with this lineup, I feel like we’ve really hit a great mix,” Mattei said. “Like a good recipe, it all goes together well and just pops. We’re hoping to land some steady gigs, and though we have no illusions of becoming

superstars, we’re putting feelers out to stations to get some exposure.” Such visibility has come locally through the St. Pio Festival at Annuniciation B.V.M. Parish, 1511 S. 10th St., and time at The Legendary Dobbs, 304 South St., and will gain another boost with June 1’s appearance at the St. Pio Regional Catholic School Festival, 1826 Pollock St. As the comanager of Philly Sound Studios, which has welcomed “American Idol” alumni Kris Allen and Jason Castro and John Waite, who sang the ’84 No. 1 Billboard hit “Missing You,” he feels fortunate to have a plethora of instruments and devices to augment Real’s sound. He also relies on the expertise of colleague Drew Raison, who has done engineering, mixing and producing for acts such as Barenaked Ladies, Bryan Adams, Greg Allman and The Stylistics, to help to convey the emotional depth of Real’s lyrics and melodies. His cooking instruments, however, need no assistance. “I’m thrilled to fill ears with songs and find it rewarding to be able to satisfy stomachs, too,” Mattei said.” SPR For tickets, visit littledevilrecords.com.

Thoughts while falling

O

issues rather than leave the faith. I see no such evidence of that happening. The so-called elephant in the room during Pope Benedict’s tenure was scandal, especially the discovery that higher-ups all over the world had conspired to protect pedophile priests rather than their victims. Benedict had been in charge of dealing with this scandal that has rocked the church like no other under the previous pope. Benedict seemed late in speaking out against child abuse and comforting its victims. The numerous lawsuits that have followed have not only put the Church in a perilous financial position, but caused defections from its followers. My attitude as a public school student differs greatly from some of my parochial school friends. While they celebrated and often joked about the stern discipline from the priests and nuns, I cringed in fear from my encounters when I attended instructions for the sacraments. I found then and later even as a parent, that public school students were treated like second-class citizens. We were treated with the kind of distaste you don’t soon forget. I have never been one who expected the Catholic church to change its teachings for my benefit. The church has survived for centuries and does so today without any spiritual suggestions from me. I figured it was just a bad fit and each of us were better off without the other. No hard feelings — these things don’t always work out. Today, I am a person without any specific religious beliefs. I think there has to be a place in life for birth control, divorce and even abortion with certain restrictions. Banning any or all of those things, in my mind, has caused more harm and suffering than good. I think gays are no different than straight people, as subjected to great good or evil as the rest of us in the human race. I would like to believe in an afterlife where I will be greeted by loved ones, but I am not counting on it. If there is a God, I think that he or she will be as likely to look like George Burns as a mysterious figure in white (in my heart, I’d prefer George Burns). I confess I don’t have it all sorted out and am certain that in my remaining time that I never will. I don’t think atheists would welcome me into the fold because I am as not as certain as they that this is all there is. The bottom line is that I just don’t know what to believe. I get the feeling that I’m not supposed to know. There are a lot of folks who go around all their lives pretending to know when I think they are just guessing. Sometimes I think that Woody Allen was on to something when he compared existence to a long train ride where we are the passengers who comfort one another. Snuggle up for the ride and let’s see where it takes us. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

nce born a Catholic, always a Catholic. Someone once told me that. It’s true in a way. Even if you no longer believe in Catholicism, you’re considered a “fallen Catholic” or a “lapsed Catholic.” I’ve always felt being called a lapsed Catholic sounded as if I were an insurance policy on which I failed to pay the premium. You register for a hospital stay and the clerk asks, “what religion are you?” and an eternity passes before you are able to mumble “none.” These thoughts passed through my consciousness when I heard the incredible news that the pope resigned. Popes, like kings, just don’t resign (unless you’re the Duke of Windsor and you fall for a divorced woman). After all, if you are considered the Vicar of Christ here on earth and infallible in matters of spiritual and moral matters, how do you walk away from being the pope? Followers expect you to die in office, otherwise why the practice of selecting aging men as pope in the first place? Yet in our age where nothing is what it seems and where we have witnessed sights unimaginable just a few decades ago, for apparent matters of age and health the pope indeed resigned. One of the mostly unreported stories of our times is that the pope and his papal doctrine have become mostly irrelevant in the world of American Catholicism. That is not the harsh opinion of a non-believer, but the plain facts about the practices of American Catholics. With each and every new poll it has become obvious that in America, Catholics are not much different than anyone else on key issues such as abortion, gay rights and women in the clergy. No matter how many times some political strategist talks about the “Catholic vote,” the “Catholic vote” has become a myth. In the strictest sense, that is what I mean about the pope having become irrelevant in American life. As a worldwide religious figure, the pope is venerated by many Catholic and non-Catholic Americans alike. A papal visit is a major event, but less in a spiritual sense and more like a visit from Queen Elizabeth. As the rift widens between the practices and beliefs of American Catholics and the Vatican, some Americans have clung to the belief that eventually the church will become more liberal on social

Oscar 2013 winner predictions Hollywood’s best are gathering once again as a global audience awaits word on who is walking away with the golden prize. ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund

T

Movie Reviewer

here have been some gasp-inducers in Oscar’s recent past, like the Best Picture loss for “The Social Network,” the Best Picture win for “Crash” and the outright snubbing in the Best Picture category for “The Dark Knight.” But it’s hard to top the current season in terms of remarkable curveballs, and, for that matter, unpredictability. The close races (like Best Supporting Actor) and shocking omissions (like Ben Affleck in Best Director) bring out the humility in the Oscar pundit, but they also make the guessing game that much more fun. Just in time for your Oscar pools, here are the fearless picks in all the top fields, along with choices in the lesser areas that are always tougher to call. Best Supporting Actress ally Field gave her all as Mary Todd in “Lincoln,” and Helen Hunt brought heartfelt grace to her revealing work in “The Sessions,” but this competition is a surefire slam-dunk for Anne Hathaway, who basically pocketed this trophy with her riveting rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” in “Les Misérables.” As for knee-jerk nominee Amy Adams (“The Anne Master”), and surprise Hathaway contender Jacki Weaver (“Silver Linings Playbook”), they’d best brush up on their loser smiles. Will win: Hathaway, “Les Misérables” Could win: Field, “Lincoln” Should win: Field, “Lincoln”

S

Best Supporting Actor true nail-biter of a category, Supporting Actor is arguably anyone’s game, packed with five nominees who’ve each already taken home at least one trophy.

A

The viewer favorite is probably “Django Unchained” star Christoph Waltz, the inevitable candidate is Academy favorite Philip Seymour Hoffman (“The Master”), and the punRobert De Niro dits’ consensus pick is Tommy Lee Jones in “Lincoln.” There’s also some support for “Argo’s” Alan Arkin, but let’s give the edge to Robert De Niro, who may well collect his third statuette for his tender work in “Silver Linings Playbook.” Will win: De Niro, “Silver Linings Playbook” Could win: Jones, “Lincoln” Should win: De Niro, “Silver Linings Playbook” Best Actress he Best Actress race has evolved throughout the season, with Jessica Chastain falling behind due to the eleventh-hour backlash of “Zero Dark Thirty,” but Jennifer Lawrence has more or less remained the field’s front-runner, thanks to her knockout turn as an unhinged widow in “Silver Linings Playbook.” If there’s anyone poised to unJennifer seat Lawrence, it isn’t Lawrence Chastain, Naomi Watts (“The Impossible”) or young Quvenzhané Wallis (“Beasts of the Southern Wild”), but 85-year-old “Amour” star Emmanuelle Riva, the category’s oldest-ever nominee, who, to boot, celebrates her 86th birthday on Oscar night. Will win: Lawrence, “Silver Linings Playbook” Could win: Riva, “Amour” Should win: Lawrence, “Silver Linings Playbook”

T

Predictions in Additional Categories Adapted Screenplay: Tony Kushner, “Lincoln” Original Screenplay: Michael Haneke, “Amour”

Best Actor here really isn’t much to discuss here. Since the first in-character photos of Daniel Day-Lewis as our 16th president were leaked, the two-time Best Actor winner has been the fly-away favorite, standing to become the first actor with three statuettes for leading roles. He’s joined by some worthy fellow candidates, like Joaquin Phoenix (“The MasDaniel ter”), Hugh Jackman Day-Lewis (“Les Misérables”), Bradley Cooper (“Silver Linings Playbook”) and Denzel Washington (“Flight”), but none of them really stand a chance. Will win: Day-Lewis, “Lincoln” Could win: If hell freezes over, Jackman, “Les Misérables” Should win: Phoenix, “The Master”

T

Best Director asily the trickiest category this year, Best Director is making everyone’s heads spin, ever since the two precursor favorites, Ben Affleck (“Argo”) and Kathryn Bigelow (“Zero Dark Thirty”), were bumped out of contention. Thus, the race comes down to Ang Lee (“Life of Pi”), Steven Spielberg (“Lincoln”), David O. Russell (“Silver Steven Linings Playbook”) Spielberg and Michael Haneke (“Amour”), each of whom has a conceivable shot at making it to the podium (Benh Zeitlin deservedly earned a nod for “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” but he won’t beat his veteran peers). Having helmed what many called an “unfilmable” project, which is set to collect an armful

E

Editing: “Argo” Cinematography: “Life of Pi” Production Design: “Anna Karenina” Costume Design: “Anna Karenina” Makeup and Hairstyling: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”

Original Score: “Life of Pi” Original Song: “Skyfall” Sound Editing: “Argo” Sound Mixing: “Les Misérables” Visual Effects: “Life of Pi” Animated Feature: “Wreck-It Ralph”

of technical awards, Lee could emerge the victor, but Spielberg still feels like the safe choice, standing as the beloved maestro behind the Oscar flick with the most nominations. Will win: Spielberg, “Lincoln” Could win: Lee, “Life of Pi” Should win: Zeitlin, “Beasts of the Southern Wild” Best Picture s mentioned, “Lincoln” leads the pack this year with 12 nominations, and “Life of Pi” sits close behind with 11, but neither film seems capable of taking the big prize, likely results of the swell of support that’s followed Ben Affleck’s Best Director snub. A clear industry golden boy, Affleck has seen “Argo,” his third directorial effort, collect every other major industry trophy, netting top honors from the Golden Globes, Screen Ben Affleck Actors Guild, Directors Guild of America and Producers Guild Award. Also a producer on his film, Affleck stands to win after all, with “Argo” becoming the first Best Picture winner without a Best Director nod since 1989’s “Driving Miss Daisy.” Fans of fellow nominees “Amour,” “Django Unchained,” “Les Misérables,” “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Beasts of the Southern Wild” had better not get their hopes up, but “Silver Linings Playbook,” a favorite among the Academy’s massive actor’s branch, is the one film that could give “Argo” a run for its money, beating out Affleck as a lovable crowd-pleaser. Will win: “Argo” Could win: “Silver Linings Playbook” Should win: “Lincoln” SPR

The South Philly native has his childhood to thank for his dual obsessions, with a constant aim to preserve that period in his memory leading him to write hot tunes and design warm plates. His musical outfit has experienced a few incarnations since its late-1990s formation and will perform at the Marconi space with two new faces among its four figures. For the 40-something guitarist and vocalist, the evening gig will further his group’s insistence on producing polished pieces that rely heavily on harmony and his promotion of delectable victuals. “I would classify us as straight-ahead rock musicians, high energy players whose songs, upon first listen, should be something you feel as if you have heard before,” Mattei said, noting their name derives from comments on how authentically they approach their themes, most notably the inescapable duo of love and loss. “I would say the songwriting has matured and that having such a bond among us as friends really furthers our sounds. When people come to our shows, we share bits about our friendships, so they’re living in our sitcom.” GREAT COMPANIONS HAVE helped the principal songwriter to issue five releases, with an emphasis on singles recently replacing

attention to constructing full-length albums, but he can credit a couple formative females for his ambition. “My mother, Rachel, plays accordion, and I can recall doing my math homework to the melody of ‘Hey Jude,’” the alumnus of St. Monica School, 16th and Porter streets, Central High School and Temple University said. “I studied classical guitar and when rock came into my life, I forgot everything else.” His grandmother, affectionately known as Nonna Gilda, gave him a yearning to master Italian cuisine, and upon the recent receipt of handwritten recipes, he set out to make audiences request second helpings along with encores. “We actually started lumping music and food together in 2009,” Mattei said of a beef-and-beer fundraiser that helped to cover the costs for that year’s “Welcome Distractions” compact disc. “I loved that people helped us, so we chose to go forward with a plan to offer quality food and a quality show all under one roof. To this day, I feel if you come to see us play, you’d better come hungry.” For Saturday’s outing, Mattei, who two weeks ago held his annual winter crab fest at his home with help from his wife, Joann, and their three children, will offer

his eponymously titled Italian truck-style porchetta, his family’s secret recipe for roast beef and a vegetarian zucchini salad. With plans to issue a cookbook by the end of the year, he is seeing the selections as further proof of his attraction to his kitchen’s call and of his inability to silence it. “When cooking, it’s almost like a meditative state where nothing can intervene or suppress my energy,” the connoisseur said. “Music, too, draws me in and looks to give me methods for working on myself and connecting with others.” The introspective individual, who also has tried solo work, began seeking a new sort of enlightenment in the late 1980s, heading The Edge, a group with similarly lofty aspirations for making meaningful messages. Its dissolution spawned Real, which Mattei describes on the band’s Facebook page as “sautéed in the stellar tradition of melodic pop-rock born in Philadelphia.” For the IBM employee, that classification has computed into constant discussions on direction and determination. “In six months of reforming with this lineup, I feel like we’ve really hit a great mix,” Mattei said. “Like a good recipe, it all goes together well and just pops. We’re hoping to land some steady gigs, and though we have no illusions of becoming

superstars, we’re putting feelers out to stations to get some exposure.” Such visibility has come locally through the St. Pio Festival at Annuniciation B.V.M. Parish, 1511 S. 10th St., and time at The Legendary Dobbs, 304 South St., and will gain another boost with June 1’s appearance at the St. Pio Regional Catholic School Festival, 1826 Pollock St. As the comanager of Philly Sound Studios, which has welcomed “American Idol” alumni Kris Allen and Jason Castro and John Waite, who sang the ’84 No. 1 Billboard hit “Missing You,” he feels fortunate to have a plethora of instruments and devices to augment Real’s sound. He also relies on the expertise of colleague Drew Raison, who has done engineering, mixing and producing for acts such as Barenaked Ladies, Bryan Adams, Greg Allman and The Stylistics, to help to convey the emotional depth of Real’s lyrics and melodies. His cooking instruments, however, need no assistance. “I’m thrilled to fill ears with songs and find it rewarding to be able to satisfy stomachs, too,” Mattei said.” SPR For tickets, visit littledevilrecords.com.

Bariatric surgery may be the answer. “As a single mother, the most important thing is to be there for my son. It was hard for me to admit that, when it came to my weight, I might need someone supporting me. After years of struggling with the ups and downs of ineffective dieting, I made the decision to go to Jefferson. Their Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery team made me feel completely comfortable and have continued to be my biggest cheerleader, with monthly support groups that have helped me lose – and keep off – 115 pounds. It’s great to know that I am healthy enough to be there for my son. And that Jefferson will be there for me.” Read my entire story and register to attend one of the free seminars listed below at jeffersonhospital.org/myweightloss Jefferson at Voorhees: February 26 Jefferson University Hospitals – Center City campus: March 5 Jefferson at the Navy Yard: March 5

id somebody say “easy”? After a brief pause to glance over the ingredients and directions below, suddenly the learninghow-to-cook chef enthusiastically responds “I can do that!” This week, Dolores Collins’ Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken recipe serves as the lesson plan on what to do with the defrosted poultry sitting on the kitchen counter. The resident of the 2100 block of South Hancock Street keeps the preparation process simple by using a mix, coat and bake approach. SPR

DIRECTIONS:

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese 1 envelope of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing 1/2 cup of garlic powder 6 boneless chicken breasts

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the cheese, salad dressing mix and garlic powder. Moisten the chicken with water and then coat with the mixture. Place the breasts in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

K, the secret is out. East Passyunk Avenue has established itself as a Philadelphia dining mecca thanks to some positive publicity, including a little notoriety from Zagat, the popular restaurant rating source. Now that the critics have spoken, the chefs along the diagonal, decorated destination are gearing up to please palates and wallets with the debut of East Passyunk Avenue Restaurant Week taking place Feb. 24 to March 2. Twenty-one establishments have signed on to offer a three-course prix fixe lunch and/or dinner for $15 to $35. “With the addition of new places and so much great press at the end of 2012, including being named Zagat’s Food Neighborhood of the Year, we knew we had the capacity and the momentum to start something on our own to highlight East Passyunk’s dining diversity and talent in the kitchen,” Renee Gilinger, East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District executive director, said. The participants (all of which can be found in this special section) have finalized their menus now appearing on the eastpassyunkrestaurantweek.com website, which has had more than 170,000 hits since its lateJanuary launch. “With 21 restaurants and 25 menus, we knew we needed an expanded website so that diners could dive deep into the dishes that make our dining scene so unique and easily find everything they needed to help decide which places to visit,” Gilinger said. To the perplexing parking problem for those coming from outside of South Philly, East Passyunk also is providing valet parking all week for $8 with validation from a participating restaurant and $15 without. The stands are located next to the Singing Fountain, East Passyunk Avenue and Tasker street, across from Cantina Los Caballitos, 1646 E. Passyunk Ave., and in front of Le Virtu, 1927 E. Passyunk Ave. The directions page of the website includes other helpful commuting tips. Of course, it may be a good idea to click on the restaurant of choice as some places are only offering their special menus on select nights. Gilinger has some helpful pointers for the first-timers. “For those new to East Passyunk’s thriving dining scene, it’s a great opportunity to try some ‘it’ places that are in the food news on a daily basis, as well as our neighborhood favorites,” she said. Many of the chefs are taking a creative approach with their menus by adding on a bonus course or beverage. Izumi, 1601. E. Passyunk Ave., for instance, is offering those who are still hungry an un donut with red bean dipping sauce. Dinner at Mamma Maria Ristorante, 1637 E. Passyunk Ave., includes complimentary red or white wine, homemade limoncello, dessert and espresso, cappuccino or coffee. Based on the early feedback, the first annual East Passyunk Avenue Restaurant Week may just be a taste of many more to come. “The enthusiasm from neighbors and folks coming to the avenue for the first time has far exceeded our expectations and we hope to make this a regular event,” Gilinger said.

grilled and still warm when it arrived at our table. If you like thin-crust pizza, you will love Gennaro’s pies. The description on the menu reads: “The New York-style Neapolitan crust with fresh whole milk mozzarella, crushed tomato and a touch of olive oil.” The white pie also featured fresh mozzarella, but included the tastiest, freshest ricotta cheese I have ever sampled in South Philly. A blend of seasonings; a touch of spinach; a hint of fresh, crushed garlic; and olive oil tops off the pie. We decided on a large, 16-inch pie, half tomato, half white ($18). How can just a handful of ingredients turn out so fine? Mike and Elisa tested the dough until it was perfect. It is very thin and crisp. I do not know whose sauce recipe was used, but I know the testing was done until the right consistency and flavors mingled on top of the pie. The sauce was not at all sweet. The white pie was glorious. If you have never tried the mingling of fresh whole milk mozzarella and fresh ricotta, Gennaro’s is the place for you. You will not be disappointed. We also sampled the personal calzone ($12), carefully prepared with the aforementioned cheese and a choice of toppings. Edward and I like the marriage of spinach and cheese. The pie was piping hot and nice and plump. The sauce was served on the side. I found myself savoring it straight from the ramekin. During dinner, Elisa and Mike were Restaurant Review:

taste-testing a new pie that they want to serve during the warmer months. It was topped with fresh salad fixings. I have never tried salad on pizza, but for those vegetarians out there, it may just work. I read a few reviews online from regular folks who wrote the couple brought desserts to them on the house. Do not miss them. They brought us a slice of Grandma Grace’s chocolate cream sponge cake with fresh chocolate cream; Grandma Rose’s pineapple upside down cake with fresh whipped cream; and chocolate wafer ice box cake with whipped cream. Forget the fancy desserts served in upscale restaurants. These family-recipe sweets will bring a smile to your face. I rarely introduce myself to a chef or owners after the bill has been paid.

last time was more than two years ago. Elisa is from South Philly. Mike is from New York but came here about 20 years ago. They went back to New York after Lombardi’s closed but wanted to return because they still owned their home. So, New York’s loss is also South Philly’s gain.

recently read Elisa and Mike Giammarino opened Gennaro’s Tomato Pie and could not wait to try it. They owned Lombardi’s near Rittenhouse Square for a number of years. I loved the thin-crust pizza. When news that the buildings on the block were being torn down to make way for luxury apartments, I was none too happy. Until SliCE and Zavino Wine Bar Pizzeria opened a few years ago, Lombardi’s was the only Center City place I could find top-quality pies. Center City’s loss is South Philly’s gain. The couple has created a charming restaurant highlighting their spectacular tomato pies and white pizza. Gennaro’s is kitted out with bright red, Formica-topped tables, colorful posters and front-page newspapers from the 1940s. The sounds of Benny Goodman tooting his clarinet could be heard over the sound system. The Big Band music put me in such a merry mood I thought the Andrew Sisters were going to pop out and sing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” The menu is small, yet carefully planned. There are salads, appetizers, pizzas, calzones and homemade — with the emphasis on homemade — desserts. We brought a bottle of Italian red wine and looked forward to a fun evening. The antipasto ($11) consisted of dried cured meat, mortadella, provolone, a selection of olives and roasted peppers. Two rounds of homemade flatbread came with our first course. This was not a crisp flat bread, it was more akin to the pizza dough used in the restaurant. It was lightly

Noir’s Chicken Pot Pie

Chef Marco DeCotiis

Noir Owners: Donnamarie and Billie Motto Opened June 18, 2012 1909 E. Passyunk Ave. 267-319-1678 noirphiladelphia.com

orking in the kitchen of La Stanza, 2001 Oregon Ave., for his brother, chef Marco DeCotiis’ stay in Philly was intended to be brief. “I was only supposed to be here for a couple months, but I found someone and ended up staying here,” the Montreal native said referring to girlfriend Donnamarie Motto. The couple, who formerly ran Terra Nostra in Queen Village, now are behind Noir, 1909 E. Passyunk Ave., which Motto’s cousin Billie co-owns with her. Growing up, DeCotiis, one of his Italian immigrant parents’ 10 children, would wake at 6 a.m. each Saturday to cook Italian bread, pasta and sauce with his family. At Noir, he strives to create dishes that fuse his and his parents’ roots. “We wanted it to be a little different, so we wanted to introduce a Montreal influence to South Philly,” he said of the Canadian flair in his Italian classics. Upon opening in June, the eatery leaned toward gastropub fare,

but revamped the menu to its present form and removed the popular Chicken Pot Pie in the process. Customers were upset even in the midst of summer, so DeCotiis decided to feature it in next week’s inaugural East Passyunk Avenue Restaurant Week, and will add it 1 teaspoon of back to the regular menu soon. rosemary, finely “It’s your traditional pot pie, but chopped a little creamier,” DeCotiis said 1 teaspoon of fresh noting he also adds flavors such as thyme leaves, finely chopped rosemary and thyme to his version.

INGREDIENTS: 2 carrots, peeled and diced 2 celery sticks, diced 1/2 Spanish onion, diced 2 potatoes, peeled and diced 1/2 cup of frozen peas 1/2 stick of unsalted butter 4 cups of chicken stock 1/4 cup of heavy cream 4 tablespoons of olive oil 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced 2 garlic cloves, chopped

2 tablespoons of all-purpose Flour 2 sheets of pastry dough 2 eggs, beaten Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, melt the butter and then add the potatoes, carrots and onions. Cook until the potatoes are almost tender. Season with the salt and pepper; add the garlic, thyme and rosemary; and stir in the flour. Cook for two minutes before adding the chicken

stock and heavy cream and bringing the contents to a boil. Cook the chicken separately in a frying pan with the oil. When cooked, add the chicken to the mixture. Separate the mixture into four oven-safe bowls. Brush the edges of bowls with the egg, cover each bowl with a puff pastry and brush the top with the egg. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for five minutes. Serves four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

Jo Ann Iannuzzi 12/17/56 – 2/25/09

Time goes by so fast, a lot has happened since you have been gone. How we wish you were here to share them with you. It always feels like yesterday that we have lost you. Not a day goes by that we don’t speak of you or even think about you. To be able to hug you, to kiss you and to tell you WE LOVE YOU is merely just a hope, a dream….. until we can ALL be together again. You are always with us, you are always remembered, you are always in our souls, but most of all you are forever close to our hearts!

Love & Miss you Joe, Jo-Jo, Nicole, Danny, Laura, Grand-children and Great grandson XOXOXOXOX

So my baby, who is now an angel in Heaven and my angel who watches over me down here on earth.

Spring TreePhilly Yard Tree Giveaway Registration Open! Registration must be received by March 31st for spring plantings Tree Philly is a tree planting initiative from Philadelphia Parks & Recreation in partnership with Wells Fargo and Fairmount Park Conservancy that directly engages Philadelphia property owners, business, and neighborhood residents to improve their communities by planting and maintaining trees. More trees mean lower costs, safer communities, and a better Philadelphia. Trees help keep homes and buildings cool during the summer and save on energy costs. They reduce runoff and flooding and increase property values. This spring, residents are eligible to receive up to two free trees per address and ten for each property with a community use (senior centers, faith based institutions, etc.) to be planted on their private property (not in the sidewalk area in front of the house). Pick up events will happen in April, and experts will be present to help you choose your trees and to teach you how to plant and care for them so you can take them home and plant them with confidence! To register for your FREE yard tree, fill out the form below by March 31st and mail it to: ERICA SMITH FICHMAN, One Parkway Building, 10th Floor. 1515 Arch St. Philadelphia, PA 19102. You can contact Erica Smith Fichman, TreePhilly Program Manager at 215-683-0217, Erica.smith@phila.gov, or visit www.treephilly.org. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Name:________________________________ Adress:________________________________Phone number:_____________ # of Trees:_________ Email address:___________________________________

Triple double A Marconi girls’ basketball team clinched its third straight region title and undefeated season.

hen the nal buzzer sounded Feb. 11 at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., Nicolette Peccina and her teammates from St. Pio Regional Catholic School, 1826 Pollock St., needed no suggestions on how to revel in yet another triumph. “We all freaked out because we were so happy,” the eighth-grader said Tuesday. “Even though we were nervous, we still won and that’s what matters.” The resident of 18th Street and Oregon Avenue and her 11 peers comprise the varsity Catholic Youth Organization basketball squad for St. Richard, the former name of their Marconi elementary institution. Facing anxiety and a stern test from Our Lady of Hope Regional Catholic School, 1248 Jackson St., they claimed a 13-12 win at the East Passyunk Crossing site to seal their third-straight Region 6 championship and undefeated campaign. “We played relaxed all year and even with our history, we couldn’t calm down for most of the night,” eighth-grader Alexandra Arrigale said. “You might even say we were lucky to win.” The resident of the 2900 block of South 15th Street, who has accumulated a plethora of hoops knowledge courtesy of her father, Carl Arrigale, the boys’ varsity coach at Neumann-Goretti, capped St. Richard’s scoring with a fourth-quarter free throw and watched breathlessly as an Our Lady of Hope player missed a pair of charity-stripe attempts in the final seconds to incite her unit’s celebration. Alexandra had notched 17 points in Feb. 9’s 34-22 win over St. Gabriel School, 2917 Dickinson St., at Neumann-Goretti, as her contemporaries sustained their faith in giving the ball “to the tall girl,” but the go-to athlete struggled. Despite that, the ballers showed they are not a one-trick pony, relying on an ego-free style that helped ingratiate themselves with fi rstyear varsity coach Lynn West. “She has had us involve everyone in the offense and made us even better players,” eighth-grader Dominique Giancaterino, of the 1700 block of Stocker Street, said of the advisor, who succeeded Letty Santar-

Competing under their parish’s name, the girls from the St. Richard Catholic Youth Organization squad have dominated their parochial school foes and will look to build upon their confidence in the City regional tournament. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

elli, now leading the girls’ varsity program at Neumann-Goretti. West had instructed the junior varsity unit before assuming her duties and joined her predecessor as an esteemed voice, with varied defensive and offensive sets helping her youngsters to become what eighth-grader Dana Albanese, of the 2900 block of South 16th Street, saw as “the team to beat.” “We weren’t down in many games, but when we would be, we played more aggressive,” eighth-grader Bridget Miller, of 18th Street and Oregon Avenue, said. Along their way to an 18-0 Region 6 slate, the girls found their friendships growing in direct proportion to their leads, with each blowout encouraging them to believe more in their ability to become close chums who value sharing than in their chances to be perfect performers. “We’ve played together forever, so we’re very close,” Amanda Armata, of the 1700 block of Stocker Street, said. “If we lose,

it’s not the end of the world.” THE EIGHTH-GRADER’S TEAM and recent varsity squads have not needed to become accustomed to accepting consoling handshakes, as this year’s blemish-free run brings St. Richard’s five-year CYO record to 87-1. The current group also frolicked in late December, winning the Dan Perillo Tournament at St. Monica School, 16th and Porter streets, proving their three-days-a-week practice schedule at Palumbo Recreation Center, 700 S. Ninth St., their home court, is well worth appreciating and maximizing. Most of the roster members have gained additional acumen through involvement in Philly Girls Got Game, an organization that uses basketball as the centerpiece of a motivational campaign for area females and that enlists Santarelli, of the 2900 block of South Broad Street, as its outreach director. Softball and volleyball also appeal to many of them, with the Delaware Valley Youth

Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., serving as another location for their commitment to being reliable competitors and persistent pals. As for their basketball bravado, the girls are waiting to learn whom and where they will play in Saturday’s City regional tournament, where they will look to build upon last year’s second-round result. No matter the outcome, the team’s outgoing contributors have enjoyed furthering their school’s reputation as a producer of selfless athletes and have set up their younger friends for a chance at a four-peat and even greater acclaim. “I’m a little nervous,” seventh-grader Deanna Sansone, of the 2900 block of South Cleveland Street, said. “We’ve learned well, though, so we should be OK.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.
