team of students from Lisa Yau’s fifth-grade class stood at the end of the third-floor hall of Eliza B. Kirkbride Elementary School, 1501 S. Seventh St., Feb. 18 and delivered a prepared speech about the Liberty Bell. Its weight, its crack, the yoke, the legends and myths – they were detailing the inspiration for their Best in Show-winning project at one of many citywide Junior Flower Shows. The Philadelphia Flower Show is a

cherished, annual endeavor from the 1827-founded Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. And the Junior Flower Show is a smart way to include children from kindergarten to senior year in the PHS tradition. In 22 “classes� (or categories), arborists, agriculturalists, farmers, florists, and artists attempt to capture the essence of the class challenge, which could range from a floral arrangement to wearable art to totem polls and photography. “PHS is an organization that is really committed to making Philly more beautiful, healthier, and more

sustainable,� Matt Rader, the new president of PHS, a former executive director of the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, and a former long-term resident of 10th and Morris streets, said last week. “We have activities and programs that touch every neighborhood and beyond. There’s a whole community and competitions among those communities, and through the Junior Flower Show, we’re bringing the opportunity to be a part of that community to the kids.� Kindergarteners created “Crafty Creatures� – butterflies, birds, turtles,

and squirrels using just pine cones, twigs and seeds. Classroom projects were also laid out in a guide for students: “Use your imagination to construct your own National Park. Design a park that would be an escape for your friends and neighbors,� reads the “Design Your Park� challenge, and they did. A group of fifthand sixth-grade students made incredibly-crafted dioramas with moss, bodies of water, paths, benches, and swings. Every Flower Show has a theme, and this one celebrates the CentenASS JUNIOR ^OUS ,,

0cWZRW\U T`cab`ObW]\ To the Editor: I live in the Lofts at Bella Vista at 11th Street and Washington Avenue located in the Hawthorne section of South Philadelphia. There are approximately 80 condo units in my building. Located inside my building are 80 parking spaces with additional lift capacity. I have attended the Hawthorne Empowerment Coalition meetings. I learned the HEC was instrumental in getting the developer of this “commercially� zoned property to give the area critically needed onsite parking. I agree with Mr. Gilbert Lettieri, who I think is spot on in his Feb.

11 Letter to the Editor (“A proper(ty) discussion�). Now the HEC is involved in another fight to save our valuable on-street parking at Broad Street and Washington Avenue. Bart Blatstein’s proposed development consists of two towers of 32 stories. A total of 1,600 apartments over the next four years, with Phase I in the near future, will provide only 700 parking spaces. You do the math! With the overflow of lost parking on our streets, we will be paying the musical chairs game with our cars. Don’t tell your neighbor you can’t park! They can’t

5SO`W\U c^ T]` R`O[O To the Editor: After reading the letter about off-street parking, I totally agree with Mr. Gilbert Lettieri (“A proper(ty) discussion,� Feb. 11). Our off-street parking is being gobbled up by developers who build condos and apartments while providing no parking spaces. In conclusion, the people living in South Philadelphia are fed up with the loss of off-street parking. To correct the problem, notify your mayor, councilman, and your local civic association to have developers provide parking spaces in the new developments. Frank Battistone Sr. South Philadelphia

What’s your stance on the spat between the FBI and Apple Inc. over unlocking the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“I understand wholeheartedly what the FBI wants to do, but I don’t know. It could lead to too much of an intrusion on privacy down the line. I think Apple goes through your stuff anyway, but who knows?� Hassan Bradley, 30th and Dickinson streets

“The FBI might be going too far if it’s even thinking about using this to look at more than one phone. I do think Apple should agree to help to unlock this one device, though, because of all the suspicion on what’s on it.� Frank Persiano, 15th and Jackson streets

always with a smile and a kind word. He gives of himself to so many without anyone knowing all he does. He has earned the trust of hundreds of people and is loved by all. He is the type of person who would not care if you gave him a cheese sandwich or a gourmet meal. He is the real deal. He stands by his beliefs, yet he is never condescending. All of the work he does, not only for our parish, but for our South Philadelphia community, is beyond compare. You will never hear him talk about it, boast about it, or complain about it. Whether rich, poor, fancy, plain, quiet, loud, good, or even sometimes bad, he cares about us all. That is what a true priest, friend, and good person is about. One man is doing so much for all of us. Our sincere gratitude to you, Father Kelley. How blessed are we to be in your midst! Theresa Selvaggi South Philadelphia

he complainant told authorities she had been walking on the 900 block of East Moyamensing Avenue at 1:45 a.m. Monday when an unknown figure approached her at a quick pace, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The stranger placed a knife to her prey’s face, and stated “Give up the handbag, or I’ll slice your face.� Obtaining the desire item, the offender fled toward Christian Street. The victim described her as white and 5-foot2; and wearing a dark, oversized wind breaker jacket with a hood, a dark gray or blue knit cap, and a scarf over her face.

The Philadelphia Police Department released the images of two men whom they suspect perpetrated a home invasion in Point Breeze. As first reported in the Feb. 18 South Philly Review as “Plenty to fear,� an inhabitant of the 1100 block of South Mole Street said two unknown males knocked on her door on Feb. 14 to state they needed to check her water pipes. They left when she informed them her pipes were fine but returned shortly after, forcing their way into the home upon her slightly opening the door. The occupant ended up pistol-whipped, with one aggressor ransacking her bedroom. To report information on the figures, whom surveillance footage shows arriving in a red Ford Escape and parking it on the block, call South Detectives Division Det.

A man threatened violence against the daughter of a Point Breeze store owner Monday. At approximately 7:50 p.m., the proprietor of 19th St. Mini Mart, 1839 S. 19th St., reported the offender walked up to the counter, pushed a demand note through an opening, and walked over to the aforementioned child, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He barked “Give me the money, or I’ll stab her, leading the matriarch to part with $10. Her husband them chased the offender out of the store. The complainants described him as white and 6 foot; and wearing a gray/blue scarf over his face, glasses, a waist-length navy blue jacket, and gray sweatpants.

On Monday, the Philadelphia Police Department released the images of three individuals sought for the shooting of a cab driver and arrested two of them a day later. As first reported in the Feb. 11 South Philly Review as “Tripling the trouble,� the motorist told authorities that at 3:26 a.m. Feb. 6, two males and a female flagged him at the corner of Broad and Wharton streets. Upon taking them to 28th and Tasker streets, the driver had guns pointed at him, with the lead offender telling him to give him his money. The gun-wielders each fired a shot at the victim, with one bullet hitting him in the right arm. He continued to drive with the criminals in the car before crashing into parked vehicles on the 2300 block of Morris Street. The first offender fled in an unknown direction and the backseat passengers took off westbound on Morris Street then northbound on 24th Street. On Tuesday, two tipsters identified one of the males through a video the department had added to its YouTube channel, and officers arrested him at his Fairmount-based job. At 9:50 p.m. the same day, authorities went to serve a search warrant at the home of the supposed male offenders and once inside the abode on the 1600 block of South Marston Street, they recognized the reported female aggressor and detained her. As of press time, law enforcement officials had not released the names of the arrestees because they have not had their arraignments. They noted they have identified the primary offender but are also not releasing his information yet. Call South Detectives Division Det. Harrison at 215-686-3013 with DC#16-17-005280, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Authorities arrested a Newbold man for supposedly robbing a store in Southwest Philly. The Philadelphia Police Department announced on Monday that it had detained Malcolm Pollard, of the 2000 block of South Bouvier Street, in connection with an Oct. 7 incident at 7-Eleven. In that matter, he reportedly entered the establishment at 12:20 a.m., walked around as if he were shopping until the store was nearly empty, approached the counter, and pulled a handgun to demand money from the cash register. An employee parted with $300 and an undisclosed amount of cigarettes. Authorities charged the 20-year-old with robbery, theft, simple assault, violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, and related offenses. SPR

o I’m watching a story on the 11 p.m. news about MaST Community Charter School’s competitive lottery for new applicants. The school had 99 spots for which 800 people applied. In some ways, this competition is on the level of Shirley Jackson’s famous short story “The Lottery.� If you fail to win a spot in MaST’s lottery, your child is consigned an inferior school (at least 800 folks feel that way). In Jackson’s story, the “winner� gets stoned to death. I’m not saying there is no difference between getting stoned to death and your child not getting into what some call the best school in Philadelphia. By the tears on the faces of the failed applicants, the disappointment seemed approximate. Look at that news piece, and you get a whiff of the life of a school parent in this area. According to the news story, MaST is really good, in part, because of the high tech methods it employs, methods that apparently don’t fit within the public school budget. Hey, there is no budget in Pennsylvania. The existence of a budget lies in the figment of imagination by the Democratic governor and his polar opposite Republican legislators. Meanwhile, school parents have to pin their hopes on a lottery that will give their offspring a chance at a decent education. MaST gets funded out of the same system that can’t properly fund its own public schools. Disheartening. Here is a nice bit of irony for you - Donald Trump gets ripped all the time for distorting the truth, but when he told the truth last week, the pundits shook their heads nervously and wondered whether it would hurt him with Republican primary voters. Trump finally got tired of hearing that as president, George W. Bush kept us safe. Actually, I got disgusted with this willful distortion of history by the Republican Party long before Trump. But I’m willing to overlook that fact in the sheer joy that Trump pointed out that 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch. Now I’m not saying there isn’t room for discussion on whether W. was at fault. The evidence seems to be he was given secret memos from his security advisor that all but hollered in his ear, “This Osama bin Laden fellow is devising a plan to attack the United States.� But it IS a fact that 9/11/2001 is a date on which George W. Bush, as Commander-inChief, presided over the security of the United States. Try as they might, Republicans can’t move that date forward on to Obama’s watch. I

watched with astonishment as the party faithful in the South Carolina audience shook their heads “no� as Trump insisted that Jeb’s brother did NOT keep us safe. One news guy on CNN worried whether this was a smart political strategy by Trump in a state that has so many military bases. Apparently, the truth will not necessarily set one free in South Carolina if it interferes with Republican political myths or one of retired football coach Steve Spurrier’s golfing outings. The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting there were only eight ticket violations against bikers last year in the city. They must be the same eight riders who tried to run me over while I was walking on the sidewalk. I always thought bikers had to follow the same traffic rules as the rest of us (I’m a non-driver if that gets me any sympathy at all), but I fear not. At the risk that there are more bikers violating the rules and not getting ticketed than the ones who’ve gone after me like James Bond after a super villain, I urge a new biking rule. Only three-wheelers are allowed on sidewalks. I mean three-wheelers like the kind with the big basket in front that you see people like me riding on the Wildwood Boardwalk at 7 a.m. For years, folks that like to ride a nice, sturdy tricycle have been ridiculed. Some of us struggle with balance with just two wheels. Enact the “Trike� rule, and keep America free. Okay, reasonably free. As you know by now, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away two weeks ago. Wild rumors flew about the cause of his death (The National Enquirer headline accused Nancy Pelosi of poisoning Scalia’s favorite Burgundy). Pelosi appears on the cover of the tabloid wearing a black ninja outfit with a story written by Bill O’Reilly called “Who Killed Scalia?� Judge Scalia, whom some Republicans claim now sits at the right hand of Ronald Reagan in the heavenly firmament, is known for claiming to be a strict constructionist. Some say Scalia could almost read the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. Understanding original intent was his specialty. It’s not evident in the case of Citizens United, however, how he learned that the original founders of our country knew about corporations back then and that when Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty, or give me death,� he was actually talking about Wall Street’s right to freedom of speech. On such memories is the History Channel built. Peace to Justice Scalia. Peace to the Supreme Court. And good luck to President Obama, who is nominating himself to the Supreme Court to fill the Scalia vacancy just so he can bug Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell into eternity. So answer me this question. Except for Valentine’s Day, why is there a February? SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

ne of my favorite literary moments comes at the end of James Joyce’s “Ulysses,� with Molly Bloom recalling how she accepted courter Leopold’s proposal and loading her recollection with mentions of “yes.� The novel has received relentless praise for its ingenuity and influence on storytelling, but I would rather focus on the final chapter’s affirmative nature as an inspirational force behind my current state. In last week’s issue, I talked about durability. For this space, I want to touch on acceptance, which is really what Molly is truly addressing as her husband rests beside her. Here then are my top 10 examples of how acceptance has benefited my life. 10) Time at my parish: I know I am not alone in absolutely loving the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia, 1166 S. Broad St. I have been attending Mass there since 2001 and have loved not only participating in the services there but also interacting with genuinely amazing people with hearts ablaze for their faith and fellow believers. 9) Undergraduate education at Saint Joseph’s University: Petrified over the college selection process while at St. John Neumann High School, I applied only to Saint Joseph’s University. A 2001 graduate, I value my time at the Jesuit institution each day, and, of course, the Hawk Will Never Die! 8) Graduate school at Arcadia University: I found myself even more terrified to inspect graduate schools and did not start going for my master’s until ’05. I consider myself fortunate to have won acceptance to Arcadia University, which let me choose

an internship as my final graduation component. Being a South Philly resident and a budding writer in ’09, I naturally chose this publication to help me to fulfill that requirement. 7) Tenure at the South Philly Review: I have enjoyed an amazing ride at this paper, serving as an intern, freelancer, staff writer, managing editor, and editor. Those sound great for a resumÊ, but titles cannot convey passion. I hope my nearly six-year stint as a staff member is doing that. 6) Residence in South Philly: I grew up in Southwest Philly, and though only a bridge separates my old stomping grounds from current ones, the former is a world apart from our shared expanse. South Philly has been quite kind to me and features the finest people I have ever met. Leave if you must, but keep me in your heart if you do, as you will remain in mine. 5) Bonds with readers: Having covered so many topics for this paper, I have definitely not escaped the occasional bit of backlash or condemnation; however, most of my interactions with readers have yielded much joy and have bred constant curiosity over what makes all of you tick. Thank you for our rapport. 4) Interactions with friends: Expanding on the previous explanation, I am happy to say many of my subjects have since become dear friends. Along with companions from my pre-Review days, they have taught me how to be tenacious and committed to courting and appreciating all that is good. 3) Connection with family: As a member of a large family (most of us are Italian and/or Irish, after all!), I feel immeasurably blessed to have wonderful relatives and thrilled to know that my cousins and I, by becoming parents ourselves, are keeping the craziness going. 2) Bond with my mother: I came from a broken home, so my mother had to play both parental roles. When I look back on all the sacrifices she made, I feel she actually did the work of at least 10 parents all by herself. 1) Love from my son: Way before he entered this world nearly five years ago, my son had won my everlasting devotion. When he wrapped his left hand around my corresponding index finger the day of his birth as he accepted his first bit of food, I knew I had begun to claim his. SPR

unners-up in the form of Bok School, Carl Dranoff’s Royal Theater on South Street, or anything happening along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers can’t hold a candle to these dozen or so projects we’re going to be keeping our eyes on throughout 2016. Here’s a primer and perhaps a suggested way to check in with your civic to hear more and provide feedback. 12. :KDUWRQ 6WUHHW Back in August, we reported about the uproar OCF Realty developer Ori Feibush was facing as he proposed 22 town homes in Point Breeze that would replace an infrequently used, huge lumber warehouse zoned Industrial. With the Zoning Board of Appeals’ approval, despite vocal opposition in the neighborhood, there may be new construction houses priced at nearly a half-million dollars in a residential neighborhood crying out for a grocery store or any business that could provide near neighbors with employment. Next meeting: Point Breeze CDC general meeting 6 to 7 p.m. March 2, 1444 Point Breeze Ave. 11. &HOHVWH 0RUHOOR¡V KLVWRULFDO GHVLJQD WLRQ RI $QJHOR %UXQR¡V KRXVH Philly’s resident Catholic and Mob history buff keeps going with her nominations to the Philadelphia Historical Commission. Despite the blowback that came as a result of her last nominations (we wrote about her concern for St. Charles Borromeo, 902 S. 20th St., three months ago), Morello is pushing forward with an iffy property – Angelo Bruno’s longtime home at 934 Snyder Ave. She contends that the “Gentle Donâ€?’s property, where he was gunned down in 1980, is significant in the way that investigating him led to widespread practices of organized crime investigation. A Historical Commission committee will entertain the notion in March. 10. 7KH )UDQNIRUG &KRFRODWH )DFWRU\ This one is a biggie – the nearly 100,000 square foot property was purchased by a handful of investors in November. CBRE of Philadelphia, a commercial real estate services firm, plans to turn the plot at 21st

Street and Washington Avenue into residential, commercial and office spaces. The 126-year-old would mark a big moment in Washington Avenue West’s potential, especially in converting massive industrial buildings. 9. 7KH /LYH &RUGLVK &DVLQR SURMHFW All signs point towards its completion. What it will look like? Who will get the jobs? And will the neighbors feel its impact and how? 900 Packer Ave. is the address, and it’d be a shock if it were completed by 2017, but it will likely open doors before ’18 is here. 8. 'LFNLQVRQ *URYH This one is a bit of a downer for Point Breeze residents with dogs. It’s a doublewide lot at 1441-43 Dickinson St., and now it’s got one of those bold orange zoning notice signs. It reads: “The application is to create one (1) Lot from two (2) existing Lots and for the erection of a new 3-Story structure with Roof Deck and Pilot House for use as Three (3) Condominium Units.� Does Newbold need more condos with roof decks? Next meeting: Public Zoning Meeting, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. March 8, at the Reed Street Presbyterian Apartments, 1401 S. 16th St. 7. &ROXPEXV 6TXDUH /DQLHU DQG 6PLWK SDUNV &DUSHQWHU *UHHQ They’re all funded and ready to go. It’s just great to see some investing in South Philly’s green spaces. Earlier this month, we reported that Columbus Square raised more than $3 million and mycolumbussquare.org is where updates can be found. Lanier, at 29th and Tasker streets, is set to get the Philadelphia Water stormwater management treatment with 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson and The Trust for Public Land’s (tpl.org) support. At the beginning of ’16, we reported on Connor Barwin’s contributions to West Passyunk’s Smith Playground, 2100 S. 24th St., which has already commenced a massive renovation. As has the South of South Carpenter Green at 17th and Carpenter streets. 6. %UXVK )DFWRU\ DSDUWPHQWV This one’s slow going. We first wrote about Tony Rufu Jr.’s plans to convert the long-vacant LoMo factory into 164 “luxury� apartment rentals more than two years ago. Parking’s certainly been the battle cry to slow its progress. Next meeting: LoMo

JUNIOR continued from page 1 nial of the National Park Service, which was established in an “organic� act of Congress in 1916. Independence National Historical Park, the famously historic stretch of Old City between Walnut and Market streets, is also an NPS park – something folks don’t always remember. The NPS preserves and protects American cultural as well as natural treasures. “Yellowstone National Park [concentrated in the NW corner of Wyoming] is one of the crown jewels of natural areas, and Independence is like the crown jewel of cultural parks because it’s the birthplace of America,� Historical Park ranger Joanna Schillizzi said. NPS parks are “the most spectacular places in the U.S. for the enjoyment of all people,� added Schillizzi, who beamed as Yau’s students presented details of their project. The fifth-grade class had created a triptych on cardboard, a bell shaped with a celebration of each state’s national flower. The Flower Show, taking place March 5-13 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in the Chinatown area, will be a celebration of parks across the country, and Schillizzi said regional gardeners, craftsmen, and landscape designers have been calling her historic post with many questions. She shared one project that she’d heard about. “A garden club is doing a tablescape, and their theme is ‘Dinner at a historic home,’ and they chose Mesa Verde [National Park in Montezuma County, Colorado],� she explained, not exactly the historic estates, say in East Fairmount Park, one would imagine. “It’s an ancient home, and someone from Mesa Verde met with them to advise them on the pottery they would’ve used.� Some pupils at Kirkbride embraced the same spirit.

With more than a couple dozen fifthgraders smiling behind their Liberty Bell project, it was clear that Thach and Lau had done a remarkable job of energizing Kirkbride morale. “It’s super exciting,� Rader said, noting that more than 4,000 volunteers and competitors get involved with the Flower Show.

A Passyunk Square dweller is directing a play that addresses contemporary courtship and the pitfalls of passion. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

dulthood possesses plenty of perks, but what about its penchant for perplexing people who crave constant comfort? What happens when maturation causes vexation, particularly with respect to finding acceptance and cultivating passion? Such questions and many other existential inquiries drive the action in “Smoke,� a provocative play making its Philadelphia premiere with Deborah Block, of the 1500 block of South 13th Street, helming the happenings. “As we become older, many of us often fall prey to the supposition that we have to have all the answers,� the 50-year-old said from Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St., which is staging playwright Kim Davies’ brainchild through March 13. “There’s some difficult psychology to address when we notice the big fat difference between what we want to happen and what ends up occurring, and that’s what we’re after with this show.�

The Passyunk Square inhabitant is helping Merci Lyons-Cox and Matteo Scammell to ponder the uncertainties of adulthood through her role as Theatre Exile’s producing artistic director. In her ninth year with the entity based only two blocks from her residence, she loves that “Smoke� continues her connection to pieces that present vulnerability as a means to consider the degree of one’s strength and resolve. The work finds the actors portraying Julie and John, attendees at a New York City kink party who court each other in what Block, through a promotional release, tabs “an intimate exploration of morality, power dynamics, and the danger that we sometimes seek.� At ages 20 and 31, the characters find themselves at vastly different stages of their evolution, yet neither number guarantees that its owner has an advantage, with Block noting they must navigate their individual precipices extremely carefully. “Audiences have to open certain doors to take everything in,� the director said. “When they do, they’ll see we’re tackling many issues that we leave bloody on the

B?<;IJOB;I ground. In other words, we’re not aiming for total resolution of these topics, so that definitely makes this one of the more dangerous and scary plays I’ve worked on. It’s also one of the most evocative, and I think it’s a work, like a few others we’ve done, that you will think about years from now.� To ensure that durable identity, Block is fostering strong bonds with the hires, eagerly guiding them through a process that helps her to intensify her love affair with realizing visions and goals. Also enamored with helping a new play “to be its best self,� she respects “Smoke� for its commentary on contemporary attraction and its relentless treatment of the depth of self-deception and one’s attempts to understand the roots and consequences of urges. “I’m enthusiastic about every project, particularly those with so many elements that all but beg us to wonder what we’re doing with our lives,� she said. “It’s a point of pride for me to be involved with ‘Smoke.’ I see it as a perfect vehicle for considering all of the obstacles in our way, including the ones we erect ourselves.�

MATURING IN MERION, Block developed an immediate attraction to theater, with science, math, and social psychology keeping her curiosity from growing dormant. Vacillating on her ultimate pursuit, even drawing a laugh from yours truly when mentioning “the major of the month club,� she enrolled at The University of Massachusetts Amherst, with a directing class doubling as the provider of a cherished Eureka moment. “I’d been in plays since elementary school, but directing spoke to me more,� Block said. “There are difference muscles involved, and I’ve loved being able to build mine by stepping outside of the action and crafting a world where I get at the psychology of the characters and engage in the task of taking actors and actresses on the roller-coaster that will bring them to their destination.� The holder of a master of fine arts degree from Temple University has become a local staple over the years, with a role in the founding of the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe, now FringeArts, for which she served as program director for a decade, standing out as a

That’s adulthood, and, frankly, that’s exciting no matter what sort of setbacks we have.� SPR Call 215-218-4022, or visit theatreexile. org.

ing for, we’re eager to make it the best you’ve ever tasted.� South Philadelphians certainly have a long history with eating chicken cutlets, so the proprietor gladly talked about his site’s breaded version for this week’s Food Feature space. “They’re popular all year, even on Lenten Fridays,� he said with a smile. “People kiss it up to God first before they eat them.� Lombardi’s Prime Meats hawks five or six tubs of the poultry powerhouses daily, with the businessman noting each tub weighs almost 20 pounds. As for what, aside from a desire to dine on a trusted option, keeps people sharpening their knives for his cutlets, Anthony Lombardi noted the combination of the garlic and the cheese makes buyers’ eventual homebased cooking sessions turn out beautifully. “You’ll hear people talk about our sausage, and we definitely take pride in that,� he said. “However, we’re happy that people take to these cutlets so much, too. They’re a reliable example of how much love goes into what we do here each day.�

Lombardi’s Prime Meats’ Breaded Cutlets ad he stuck with his career as an accountant, Anthony Lombardi would certainly have found himself in demand every winter and early spring, but why settle for a cluster of activity followed by “dry and mundane� endeavors when one can pursue a true passion each day? Owing to his father’s influence as a companion for carnivores, the New Jersey inhabitant decided to return to his childhood vocation and has guided Lombardi’s Prime Meats, 1801 Packer Ave., since 2001. “Making great connections with our customers really drives me,� the 50-year-old said from his Packer Park-situated business. “I grew up in this community, so I definitely want people here to enjoy our products, and I want people from all over South Philly and beyond to feel welcome, too.� The South Philly native recalled helping patriarch Vince when attending St. John Neumann High School, formerly 2600 Moore St., as the latter helmed Al’s Meat Market at 20th and Jackson streets. Coveting camaraderie with locals and tired of being stuck in a cubicle, the younger Lombardi proved father knows best 15 years ago and has proven a profitable protein provider for those in his initial turf. “It’s great to be your own boss, sure, but it’s also pretty special to sustain a dying art,� he said. “Plus, I’m a people person, and it doesn’t get any better than being able to interact with people around here.� He and his cohorts, including his dad, who serves, if you will, as owner emeritus, have won renown, including South Philly Review Readers’ Choice Awards kudos, for being a cut above the rest, but they have also garnered praise for their prepared foods items, which have complemented choice selections for the last 10 years. “They’re a great part of our identity,� Anthony Lombardi said of the 10 goodies, including Chicken Cordon Bleu and Chicken Stuffed with Spinach. “No matter what you’re look-

DEATH NOTICE

Don’t cry for me, please don’t be sad. Hold on to the memories of the times we had. Don’t dwell on dark thoughts hold on tight to your wishes. Sending you hugs and buttery kisses. I walk beside you, I am there all day long. I am right here but you think I am gone. You don’t see me, but I can see you. I am the wind in your hair, the sand in your toes, buttery kisses that you feel on your nose. I am with you at sunrise and sunset, but you can’t see me is my one regret. I sit right beside you when you are sad, as you look through the photos of times we had. I watch you sleeping, I hold you so tight, before I go, I kiss you goodnight. Hold on to your dreams and your wishes, sending you hugs and buttery kisses.

Little did we know that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, and in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone, for part of use went with you, the day God called you home. Your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Happy Birthday

Two East Passyunk Crossing basketball teams fell short in their hunts for the Catholic League titles. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

to their seats. The Saints strove to bless their fans for their patience, with league most valuable player Alisha Kebbe showing what led Syracuse University to court her talent by being a third-quarter lightning rod. Something, however, seemed off about the then-undefeated athletes, but a club does not amass such a winning streak without guts, and the young women fought back to trail only 34-33 as the matchup neared its climax. Kebbe, however, fouled out, and the Bucks county-based teenagers pulled off the upset by making crucial free throws and forcing the Saints into desperate attempts. “I’m proud of our girls,� Peterson said. “... I told them after the game that nobody’s perfect 24/7. ... We fought hard, but Wood had a phenomenal game.� The Saints return to action Saturday at Lincoln High School, where they will face Imhotep for the District 12 AA title following the 3:30 p.m. Class AAA championship game. THOUGH IT YIELDED a higher-scoring affair and a similar comeback from an early deficit, the boys’ contest ended with the same sense of what-mighthave-been for the Saints’ faithful. The youths entered with a 15-0 mark against Catholic League constituents, including an 85-68 thumping of Roman Jan. 6, and coach Carl Arrigale’s bunch, looking to exorcise the demons from last year’s championship setback, wanted to stay hot, especially against the team for whom its fanbase has such disdain. That disgust only grew as the Cahillites galloped to an 11-0 edge, but the East Passyunk Crossing-situated heroes held their heads high in chipping away at the deficit, with a balanced scoring attack orchestrating a 13-10 run the rest of the frame. Neumann-Goretti swarmed the offensive glass in the second, but a vir-

tual game of bucket trading still left them trailing 32-27 at the break. Arrigale, the league’s co-coach of the year, boasts five All-Catholic selections, with first-teamers Quade Green and Zane Martin bedazzling the crowd in the third, combining for 14 points. They experienced a low and a high in the session, as the latter player, a senior guard headed to Towson University, needed to leave when incurring his fourth foul with 4:34 left, and the former performer, a junior guard who is receiving ample attention from schools, swished the three-pointer that tied matters at 44. Green, however, would suffer ridicule from raucous Roman fans as the final quarter commenced by hoisting consecutive airballs. He would go scoreless over the last eight minutes, but tenacious efforts from his teammates, including junior forward Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree, another first-team honoree, who collected 18 rebounds and deposited 14 points, kept the Saints around. However, after missing a string of charity stripe offerings, the Cahillites nailed enough freebies to make the clock the Saints’ enemy and commenced their secondstraight victory celebration to the dismay of Neumann-Goretti’s throng. “It’s going to hurt when we put in the time that we have and for the game to go that way,� Arrigale, who would have stood alone in the parochial championship ranks with 11 titles had the Saints won, said following the loss. “... We’ll get them to the next practice and try to keep moving forward.� The Saints will square off against Del Val Charter at approximately 8:45 p.m. tomorrow for the District 12 AAA championship.

n registering 23-0 and 22-2 records ahead of Monday’s Catholic League championship tilts at The Palestra, the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., made a delightful habit out of flustering and flummoxing foes. Hoping to do the same at the venerable venue, the units had roles reversed on them and fell 40-36 and 72-65 to Archbishop Wood and Roman Catholic high schools in duels where they failed to enjoy even one lead. The contests involved clubs meeting for the third-straight time in the final, with the two-time defending champion ladies looking to disappoint the Vikings yet again. The boys took to the floor seeking a bit of retribution against the Cahillites, who last season toppled them to end the locals’ six-year reign atop the parochial mountain. The girls, holders of a 53-game winning streak that included a bevy of blowouts, have grown accustomed to taxing teams with a frenetic style, but they seemed to lack a Plan B as their Warminster-situated opponents executed their brand of patient, methodical ball. Falling behind 7-0 in a blink, they needed to claw back throughout the first frame, ending the initial eight minutes down 116. With her entire lineup having achieved All-Catholic or Honorable Mention status, second-year coach Andrea Peterson hoped her charges would challenge the underdogs with an up-tempo approach, but the 18-6 group would not budge and left the favorites visibly frustrated in grabbing a 15-11 halftime cushion. Intermission included supporters’ expectations for a completely different feel for the rest of the game, but each time that the favorites would inspire backers to bask in the likelihood of winning another plaque, Wood star Bailey Greenberg and her contemporaries would return them
