t is good to be in Havana today. The sun seems to shine even more brightly. And the women selling flowers in the main plaza grab your arm and openly flirt with the male tourists hoping to sell you a pretty bouquet. Street musicians play throughout the square. It may be raw and chilly in February back home, but here in Havana it is summer, and the mojito is king. We come from the big cruise ship docked here for the next 18 hours. Americans come to explore the mystery of Cuba. The enigma that has baffled and obsessed us who are old enough to remember when the Revolution changed everything. The days when Kennedy and Castro almost went mano-a-mano. We marvel over the retro cars. Most of them taxis. The cars your father drove. Chevy Impalas and Ford Fairlanes. DeSotos with wraparound windshields and enormous fins. Pink convertibles. Two-toned sedans. Bright and shiny as if the year were 1958 instead of 2018. The drivers beep their horns impatiently at us to get out of their way as we walk in the crowded square. The marvelous architecture of the buildings is stunning. We are swept up by the illusion that we have stepped back in time. But look closer, my friend, and you see it is only an illusion. The streets are made of old cobblestones. Charming, yes, but many of the sidewalks are cracked. Big chunks of stone are missing from the curb as you cross the street. The See CARDELLA, page 12>>

Saints still shooting for states
T
he championship celebration will have to wait, at least for the Ss. Neumann-Goretti girls basketball team. The Saints’ hopes of winning another Catholic League crown were halted on Monday night at the Palestra at the hands of Cardinal O’Hara, 54-39. The Lions pulled away in the fourth quarter, outscoring Neumann-Goretti, the regular-season champs, 25-8. The East
Passyunk Crossing-based squad entered the game with an undefeated record against league foes. Neumann-Goretti has another tough test on Friday night at Lincoln High School when they face Public League champion Imhotep Charter for the District 12 3A title. NeumannGoretti will look to defend their PIAA 3A title when the state playoffs begin next week. See more coverage on page 20. Photo by Mark Carosiello
s the Eagles’ Super Bowl Parade marched up Broad Street on a freezing February afternoon, a very scared and cold pitbull was tied to a pole at the corner of Passyunk Avenue and Morris Street. It is highly likely she was abandoned. Luckily, an anonymous passerby did something about it. Noticing the dog, which was later named Dilly, had been tied up for hours, the good Samaritan reached out to One Love Animal Rescue, a New Jersey-based animal rescue group to find a foster home for Dilly. “She doesn’t have a lot of fat on her and she doesn’t have long fur and she wasn’t wearing a coat,” said Dawn Hullings, co-founder and board member of One Love Animal Rescue. “Luckily we had open fosters who live very close to [where she was abandoned], and they were able to receive her.” Hullings said that she’s confident Dilly was abandoned because they made posters and posted See DILLY, page 6>>

Op-Ed Arming teachers could be disaster waiting to happen, urges writer
One time I was visiting the classroom of a former student teacher in a school in North Philadelphia. Suddenly an announcement of a lockdown took place. She shut the classroom lights, locked the door and told her class to shelter near the clothes closet. No one panicked. We all just sat down on chairs or the floor away from the classroom door. I did not know what was going on, but remained calm and spoke quietly to the fourthgrade children. This must not have been their first lockdown, because they were very calm about the whole thing. (It reminded me of the days when I was a young teacher, and we put children in the hallways for an air raid drill.) Later we learned that a student had run away from the building and they were just making sure no one else followed him. Thank God no violence was involved, but no one knew anything until the all clear was given. After the most recent massacre of children and adults in a public school in Florida, there has been a debate about the suggestion by the president and others that it would save lives if teachers, in addition to security guards, carry guns. By now, everyone has heard the news that the sheriff’s deputy, assigned to guard the Douglas School in Parkland, Fla., where the mass shooting took place, decided to remain outside and never intervened. He has since resigned in disgrace. Other deputies also showed up and did nothing. So now the suggestion is that members of the faculty should have been armed and able to stop the gunman. The reasoning is: If the professional can’t do it, let the teacher intervene. We already know teachers are ready to lay down their lives for their students. Over and over, in cases of gunmen entering a school and murdering children, there are stories of heroic teachers shielding them with their own bodies. Some suggest those teachers would have been better off armed and able to stop the shooter in his tracks. Where split-second decisions and actions must take place, the chance for error in a chaotic situation must be weighed against the so-called advantages. On the other side of the debate, the reasons not to arm teachers or other staff members are compelling. Training is a problem. The length and type of training would depend on the temperament or how much expertise the teacher requires. That is one reason that some suggest hiring veterans or retired police to take the job of additional security. That brings with it the whole question of paying for the training or the participants. Or the guns themselves. Another example: If a teacher is not scrupulous about concealing and guarding his weapon, and a disturbed student confiscates it, the result could be horrific. There are also many cases where students as-

sault teachers. It happens every day somewhere. Imagine such a scene escalating to the point where the teacher feels his life is threatened and reaches for his weapon. Accidents with guns happen all the time. An accidental discharge of the teacher’s weapon could have terrible consequences. One of the worst scenarios in any crowded environment is the possibility of crossfire. More than one staff member draws a weapon. The shooter has his own gun. Everyone starts firing at once. Even well trained law enforcement officers have succumbed to panic. The casualties mount. Another worst-case scenario is that police arrive upon a mass shooting and perceive an armed teacher as the aggressor. It is too late to apologize once “the good guy with a gun,” is dead. The gun lobby has a vested interest in promoting more gun purchases. They have a friend in the White House who
thinks that simple solutions to complex problems are possible. There are, of course, solutions, but they can be complex and require strong reasoning and careful legislation. Guns do not have to be banned entirely, but military-style semi-automatic and automatic weapons should be banned. Devices that increase the speed and power of weapons should also be illegal. Also ban high-capacity magazines that only make mass killing easier. Age limits to owning a weapon must be enforced. Likewise background checks should prevent the mentally ill or those with police records to buy guns. There must be strict regulation of gun shows. Law enforcement can also help by buying back illegal guns, as they did in Australia. These are just some ideas states can adopt. Finally, we must not be in a contest to be the most armed and dangerous developed nation on Earth. Gloria C. Endres

Special to SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW
‘Dilly,’ found abandoned on Feb. 8 near the Eagles Super Bowl LII parade route, needs a ‘Philly Special’ home.
<<Continued from page 1 about finding Dilly on One Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page. Nobody ever responded. Sam Kelokates and Amy Crowe, a married couple who live in South Philly, stepped in and will foster Dilly until she finds an owner. One Love Animal Rescue paid to have Dilly vaccinated, spayed and microchipped before handing her off to the Crowe family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you keep an owner surrender out of the shelter itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal,â&#x20AC;? said Hullings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the first to get put down.â&#x20AC;? Hullings said Dilly is â&#x20AC;&#x153;super friendly.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great with dogs and people and is living with a cat,â&#x20AC;? Hullings said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and [she] seems to be doing OK with the cat.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of energy,â&#x20AC;? said Crowe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really well-behaved, she loves to go for walks, loves to play with her toys. She can sit and stay, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really great dog.â&#x20AC;? One Love Animal Rescue has been around for four years, and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as of this writing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has gotten 499 animals adopted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are one animal away from 500 animals adopted,â&#x20AC;? said Hullings, who refers to the organization as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;equal opportunity rescue.â&#x20AC;? This means the organization takes in all dogs and cats of any type of breed, unlike some other rescues that specialize in certain breeds.

REMEMBER WHEN
Who’s that actor?
E
very once in a while, we come across old photos of a famous South Philadelphian who has made it big in his or her respective field. The actor pictured here with Barbara Eden has an acting resume that dates back to the 1950s. These two appeared together in one episode of an NBC series during the 1960s. Who remembers the name of the show? More importantly, what is the actor’s name? No prizes. Consider this a fun game of old-time South Philly trivia. But if you need a hint, this person was included in last year’s Famous 70 issue.

Poplar editions such as the Spring Guide/Readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice Awards, Difference Makers, Rising Stars and Mummers Guide are all planned for later this year. Top Businessmen and Businesswomen of South Philly were added to the rotation in 2017, and will return, as well. Now we are adding one more to the growing
list: The Top Docs of South Philly. Face it, every South Philly resident needs a doctor, dentist or specialist to help fulfill the â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthyâ&#x20AC;? part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy and Healthy New Yearâ&#x20AC;? greeting. Who would you recommend and why? What makes this person stand out from the rest? It can be a primary care physician, cardiologist, OB/GYN, surgeon, or even the local ER doc. We are looking for more than just a name. The final list of docs will be based on nominations from you, our loyal readers and social media
followers. Include as many important details about this person as possible. All of the entries will be reviewed by the SPR staff, with the final list appearing in an upcoming issue. The only rule is the doctor must have an office or residence in South Philly. Please include the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, name of the practice (if necessary), office address and phone number. Include your name and contact info, as well, in case we have any questions. The date for the Top Docs of South Philly issue will be announced soon.

Councilman calls for probe of mortgage lending bias Disparity in home loan approval has Kenyatta Johnson seeking to curb â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;redliningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW
S
econd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson introduced a resolution at Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Council meeting calling for hearings to examine racial disparities in home lending. The resolution comes in the wake of a study by the Center for Investigative Reporting that showed Philadelphia was one of 61 metro areas in the country in which people of color were more likely than whites to be
turned down when applying for a conventional home loan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we talk about segregation, we are usually talking about the Jim Crow era,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson at the City Council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sometimes give into the myth that the civil rights movement has relegated racial segregation to the darker days of American history. But here we are on the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act and deep segregation is alive and kicking.â&#x20AC;? In Philadelphia, the study found, African Americans were 2.7 times as likely as whites to be denied a conven-
tional mortgage. The data found by the CIR came from analyzing more than 31 million mortgage documents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between 2012 and 2016 [in the Point Breeze neighborhood alone], white home loan applicants were granted 806 loans out of 958 applications, an 84 percent success rate,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, for African Americans, home loan applicants were granted 275 loans from 746 applications. A 37 percent success rate.â&#x20AC;? Johnson called the practices â&#x20AC;&#x153;modern day redlining.â&#x20AC;? According to the resolution, redlin-
ing was a financial-lending practice, sanctioned by the Federal Housing Authority from the 1930s through 1960s, which designated neighborhoods as financially risky based on their racial composition. The policy was deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in Shelley v. Kraemer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redlining has been illegal for decades but Philadelphia is one of 61 cities where people of color were more likely to be denied a home mortgage, even after controlling for a host of factors, including how much money they made, size of loan, and neighborhood
where they wanted to buy,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unacceptable. We want to know why is it happening in Philadelphia, and what is needed to fix it.â&#x20AC;? At the meeting, Johnson said he plans to hold hearings in March to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get a grip on the root causes of this problem and most importantly hold those in the banking and mortgage industry accountable as to how they go about their loan application processes to those who live here in the City of Philadelphia.â&#x20AC;? Johnson is the chair of City Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee on Legislative Oversight.

Ted talks:
GOP senator alleges EPA overreach in visit to local fuel refinery
By Tom Beck
Identification Numbers, instead. In 2012, Cruz said, RINs cost about one or two pennies each. That number skyrocketed to $1.40 last year, costing PES twice as much as it spends on its payroll. Notably, PES filed for bankruptcy last month, citing the high cost of RINs as one of the reasons for its financial troubles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many of you all think the refinery should be wasting money on government licenses that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce a damn thing rather than creating jobs that pay your salaries?â&#x20AC;? Cruz asked the workers of PES. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The terms of the bankruptcy paper See CRUZ, page 14>>

exas Sen. Ted Cruz took to the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery in South Philly last week to discuss the impact the Environmental Protection Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renewable Fuel Standard. According to the RFS, which was created in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, gasoline must contain a portion of biofuels, which mostly comes from ethanol from corn. Because the refinery canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blend ethanol into its gasoline, it has to buy credits, called Renewable

W
hen it comes to iconic women of the 20th century, Rene Goodwin could tell you a thing or two about what makes each of them stand out. Call it an entertaining history lesson, as the Pennsport resident has written and continues to perform theatrical monologues on a whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who list of prominent women that includes Jackie Kennedy, Golda Meir, Dorothy Parker and Mother Katharine Drexel. The latter piece was commissioned for the 2015 World Meeting of Families that took place in Philadelphia. Goodwin refers to her body of work as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women of Note,â&#x20AC;? and it includes Eleanor Roosevelt, the former first lady of the United States. Fittingly, with this being Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s History Month, she will be dressing the part tomorrow night at the East Passyunk Community Center, 1025 Mifflin St., in what is the second part of an ongoing fourpart series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eleanor Roosevelt: The War Yearsâ&#x20AC;? She described performing at the local center as â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazingly special.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled, honored and grateful that they think my work is something of value to the community,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said. Audiences in New York, Delaware and Washington, D.C., have seen her performances, too, but in terms of South Philly, there is no doubt this musical artist, actress and producer has a strong following in the South Philly community. Margaret Kalalian, who is on the EPCC advisory council, said Goodwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrayal of Roosevelt is a hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really interesting. As the audience came over for refreshments [after the first show], they all said the program is wonderful, and you have to bring her back,â&#x20AC;? Kalalian said. Besides the show, attendees will be able to enjoy dessert provided by the local Acme and coffee supplied by Rival Bros Coffee, which opened a new location on East Passyunk Avenue last year. This is one of many different programs being offered at the community center. Family movie nights, youth sports programs, cooking, senior programs and arts and crafts are some of the other

activities residents can enjoy. Kalalian said tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will appeal to a variety of audiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really good for school-age children and high school students, as well as parents and grandparents who remember Eleanor Roosevelt,â&#x20AC;? Kalalian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational.â&#x20AC;? For those who are curious about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming next, the Eleanor Roosevelt series will continue with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United Nations and Equality: How Do We Get There.â&#x20AC;? It looks at Eleanorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment and work toward achieving equal rights for workers, women and all minorities. In terms of her leading ladies, Goodwin continues to enjoy telling Rooseveltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. She also portrayed the character as a part of Michelle Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Day of the Girlâ&#x20AC;? and at the National Park Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th Anniversary Celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always had a curiosity about Eleanor Roosevelt. A lot of people hold her in high regard,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said. Showtime is 7 p.m. Thursday, March 1. Tickets are $5 and include refreshments. Reservations can be made by calling the center at 215-685-0008.

CARDELLA: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Havanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nice time
<<Continued from page 1 facades of the buildings that so attracted your eye are worn. Havana, the once glorious city has become shabby. Victimized by the unfulfilled promise of the Revolution. The glory of Havana is like the flower lady who winks as if to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am old and tired, but you can see how beautiful I once was. Pretend with me that for a day, we are both young again.â&#x20AC;? We tourists grasp the irony. This is supposed to be a people-to-people tour, but we only meet the people the Cuban government wants us to meet. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;peopleâ&#x20AC;? are tour guides selling Cuba as a tourist destination. We are told that tourism is the No. 1 industry in Castroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cuba today now that their sugar is no longer so much in demand. There was a time in the last year of the Obama presidency when it looked as if relations between Cuba and America were on the way to becoming normalized. But our current president, intent upon reversing anything that carries Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, changed all that on June 16 of last year. Those of us who booked our cruise after that date had to attend a mandatory eight-hour tour for each day we are in Cuba. Otherwise, we cannot leave the ship. Once you meet the mandatory requirement, you are free to go anywhere you please. But the ship is scheduled to leave at 2 a.m. the following morning, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precious little time for exploring on your own. The pretext for Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action was the incident affecting some of our American diplomats in Cuba. Some of them suffered a mysterious loss of hearing that is still unexplained. The Cuban government denies that it had anything to do with the strange incident. It even allowed the FBI carte blanche to investigate the matter, to no avail. Since Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edict does not apply to any Americans who booked their Cuba trip prior to June 16, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to believe the motivation was the safety
of American tourists. To compound the silliness, we are required to keep proof that we completed the mandatory eight-hour tour. For five years. No word on what our punishment is if we misplace our records. To date, the result of the June order has been contrary to the other stated goal of the White House, helping private enterprise in Cuba. The mandatory tours are run by the Cuban government. The tour guides are employees of the Cuban government. Most, if not all, of the tourist sites we are taken to are run by the Cuban government. Not surprisingly, since the inception of the new rules, tourism has fallen and the share of tourist money has mostly wound up in Cuban government coffers. We enter El Floridita, a bar and restaurant supposedly frequented by Ernest Hemingway. A metal likeness of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papaâ&#x20AC;? sits at the bar. We are served frozen daiquiris that are probably not as strong as Hemingway would have preferred. Later in the afternoon, we drink mojitos at the crowded bar at La Bodeguita del Medio, where that popular summer drink was supposed to have been created. At a warehouse near the ship, we crowd around kiosks, some selling Cuban cigars with famous names such as Monte Cristo and Romeo et Juliet. This kiosk is especially popular because it also sells Cuban rum and Cuban coffee. Stalls selling T-shirts with the likeness of Che Guevara are also a popular item. We find it a bit surprising that it is Che whose picture is the most popular in Havana. There is a giant poster of Fidel Castro with his arm around Che overlooking the main plaza in Havana. In one stall, we see a large photograph of Fidel with Hemingway. Except for one photograph with brother Fidel, Raul Castro is invisible. We visited cultural sites where they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve daiquiris or mojitos. (Part 1 of 2)

Police seek pair in armed robbery Suspect fired handgun while fleeing, authorities say By Bill Gelman SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW
O
n Feb. 4, At approximately 9:30 p.m., two unknown black males were captured on surveillance video knocking on the rear door of the Best of Both Worlds store, 2601 S. 8th St., pretending to be making a pizza delivery. When the victim looked out of the window and stated they did not order a pizza, the suspects walked away. On Feb. 5, at approximately 10 p.m., police said suspect No. 1 was captured again on surveillance video approaching the rear door of the store while the victims were locking up for the night. According to police, he pulled out a handgun and demanded money. As the suspect was running away, he turned and fired a gunshot at the victims, police said. If you have any information about this crime or these suspects, please contact South Detective Division at 215-686-3013/3014. Det. Tocco #9079 DC 18-03-006970.

CRUZ: Senator talks restrictions
<<Continued from page 10 make clear the reason for the bankruptcy. When you’re spending more than double your payroll on a broken government regulatory system, you can’t stay in business long. And we need to fix it.” Cruz said he supported capping the price of RINs in an effort to solve the problem. The senator repeatedly slammed lobbyists from “big corn,” and even went as far to say they weren’t representing the interests of the corn farmers they represent. “When I campaigned in Iowa [during the 2016 Republican presidential primary] that was the case I made to the corn farmers, and [I] won the state of Iowa,” Cruz told reporters after his speech. “I think actually the corn farmers would be much better lifting the EPA barriers to them selling their product – letting them sell more of their product, but doing it without regulations that are bankrupting refineries and potentially threatening tens of thousands of union jobs.”
Interestingly, according to a recent report from Reuters, PES “paid minimum quarterly payments of $30 million to terminal owner North Yard Logistics LP – even if little crude arrived” to its parent company, the Carlyle Group, hinting the refinery’s financial issues may be unrelated to RINs. “The deal in effect guaranteed lucrative payouts to Carlyle regardless of whether the refinery benefitted from the arrangement,” the report read. Cruz added he didn’t believe the government should be incentivizing renewable fuels in general. “Find me one business in America that can survive when the federal government is essentially imposing a tax or a regulatory penalty on the business of more than double its payroll. And we’ve got to fix that problem because these men and women – you’ve heard – [they’ve been able to earn] generation after generation of good jobs here in Philadelphia. We’ve got to fight for these good union jobs. That’s what I’m fighting for.” PES is the largest refinery on the East Coast.

ewly engaged couples may experience an array of emotions when they sit down to plan their weddings. Some couples cannot wait to jump into planning and want to catalog every aspect of the process, while others may proceed with caution because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly in regard to cost. Many couples find it difficult to create their wedding budgets because they have no previous experience to draw on. The wedding planning advisor CostofWedding.com indicates the average wedding cost in the United States is $26,720, with most people spending between $20,000 and $34,000. Seventh Heaven Event Catering states that, in Canada, the average wedding costs around $30,000. Such costs can vary greatly depending on couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preferences, including where they hope to tie the knot.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rising Starsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year in which high school seniors are finalizing college decisions. Younger students are likely proud of the strides they have made in the classroom from September to now. Others may have faced personal hardships that presented unexpected challenges in and out of the classroom. No matter what the story is, each of these students is very deserving of recognition. Teachers, counselors and administrators, do you have a Rising Star in your classroom? If yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to share the stories of these first graders through high school seniors you feel are worthy of Rising Star consideration. The South Philly Review and Grays Ferry-based Young Chances Foundation are once again teaming up to recognize your standout candidates. The only requirement is the student must reside in South Philly or attend a South Philly school in the 19145, 19146, 19147 or 19148 Zip Codes. Parents and guardians, we know you believe your child is well deserving of being included on this list, but nominations need to come from the school. Being a straight-A student or valedictorian are
both strong points, but not the only criteria being taken into consideration. We also want to hear about the talented individuals who excel in the classroom as well as numerous extracurricular activities. It can be anything from athletics to school clubs to volunteer work. If you have a Rising Star who fits the bill, send us a nomination letter, 250 to 350 words, describing what makes your candidate stand out from the pack. What is the reason(s) for nominating this student? What academic achievements has this student achieved during the 2017-18 school year? What does this student hope to be when he/she grows up? These are just a few questions meant to help get the conversation started. All of the nominations will be reviewed by the selection committee, with the winners appearing in the special June 6 Rising Stars edition. Please submit nominations by Tuesday, April 30. Nominations can be submitted via email, news@ southphillyreview.com, or mail, South Philly Review, attention Bill Gelman, 2 Executive Campus, Suite 400, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002.

Neumann-Goretti senior hungry to go out a champion Before taking her game to Hartford, Jabria Ingram looks to lead the Saints to PIAA title By Bill Gelman SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW
J
abria Ingram knows she has a promising future on the basketball court, as she has signed a National Letter of Intent to play Division I basketball at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. But that’s the future. The present is the Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School girls basketball team. More specifically, the senior is focused on keeping the championship streak of three straight Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association AAA crowns intact. Ingram also had her sights set on closing out her high school career with another Catholic League crown, but Cardinal O’Hara had their eyes on the same prize on Monday night at the Palestra. In the end, the Lions were the ones doing the celebrating as they defeated the Saints, 54-39. Neumann-Goretti head coach Andrea Peterson knew defeating O’Hara for the second time this season was going to be a challenge. “O’Hara is a good team who does all of the little things,” she said heading into the contest. “Defense is going to be key.” Ingram finished the game with nine points. Being a senior and a team leader, Ingram entered the playoffs with a readyto-go mentality, as there was no room for error. “The pressure is on. It’s one and done,” she said. “This is my last chance. My last go around.” Peterson relies heavily on her point guard, not just for her scoring, but the leadership she displays on the court. “She is the leader, the rock, my coach on the floor,” Peterson, who has coached Ingram for four seasons, said. “She sees things on the floor. She will tell me ‘I see a mismatch.’ Her basketball IQ is very high.” Ingram plays a big role in the scoring column, too, as she is averaging close to 20 points per game. In last Tuesday night’s 48-47 victory over Archbishop Carroll, Ingram did her part to the tune of 22 points, five assists and two steals. Junior teammate Tatiana
MARK CAROSIELLO
Neumann-Goretti senior point guard Jabria Ingram was held to 9 points against Cardinal O’Hara in the Catholic League championship game at the Palestra. Jones also delivered in the clutch, hitting the game-winning three with 2.9 seconds remaining in regulation. Peterson, in the process, picked up her 100th career victory.
Neumann-Goretti, who finished the regular season with a 12-0 record, opened the playoffs on Feb. 15 with a 71-42 quarter final victory over West Catholic.
“We did a good job of playing together,” Ingram, the Catholic League MVP and first-team selection, said. While the Upper Darby resident displays a consistent scoring touch, the
Neumann-Goretti success story is about family, a family that trusts each other on and off the court. The Saints could easily walk around with a we-are-thechampions strut, but the results may not work out in their favor. “We take it one game at a time, never look ahead,” Peterson said. Besides the work ethic paying dividends in the win column, many of the student-athletes go on to enjoy success on the next level, with University of Texas, Rutgers University, James Madison University, University of Central Florida and University of Virginia being a handful of the schools with former Neumann-Goretti girls basketball standouts on their respective rosters. Many of them served as mentors to Ingram. “I learned a lot from them,” she said. “A lot of top athletes came through here. It made me hungry and determined.” Ingram will soon be joining them on the Division-I scene. She caught the attention of the Hartford staff last spring while playing in an Amateur Athletic Union tournament with her Books and Basketball squad. The school reached out to her, and has remained in contact throughout the high school season. The mid-size campus is a plus. In terms of facing the tougher competition, Ingram is up for the challenge. “I think I will fit in well,” Ingram said. “We all play the same style of basketball.” Hartford women’s basketball coach Kim McNeill foresees Ingram fitting right in with the current group of returning players. “Jabria is a prolific scorer and playmaker who is expected to make an immediate impact at Hartford,” McNeill said in a story posted on the University of Hartford athletic website. “A very unselfish player, she is a student of the game and a fierce competitor who wants to win both on and off the court. Over the last three years, Jabria has only known one way, and that’s championships. That’s the mentality I want for my team and players.” Speaking of championships, the focus now shifts to the PIAA tournament, which gets underway next week.

EAGLES INSIDER
NFL economics put salary cap decisions ahead of Eagles
O
ne after another, Howie Roseman had the magic touch for the Eagles in their Super Bowl LII season. He hit in free agency with players like cornerback Patrick Robinson, defensive end Chris Long, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery and, yes, quarterback Nick Foles. There were trades for defensive tackle Tim Jernigan and running back Jay Ajayi. The NFL draft netted immediate impact from defensive end Derek Barnett. It was a championship performance from Roseman and the Eagles’ personnel department, virtual perfection that helped push the Eagles to the first Super Bowl championship in franchise his-
tory. Now the page is turned. The 2018 season is in full view. The Eagles are in Indianapolis, site of the NFL Scouting Combine, and free agency begins on March 14. There is some heavyduty lifting to be done to get the salary cap house in order, to prepare a plan of attack for free agency and for a way to maximize a draft in which the Eagles have, at the moment, only six
Dave
Spadaro
draft picks. Can Roseman put together back-toback virtuoso performances in building this Eagles roster? It’s going to be really tricky this time around. The Eagles are in the neighborhood of $10 million over the salary cap, which is projected to be around $184 million, an increase from the $167 million in 2017. And while there is some relief for the Eagles with the added numbers, it doesn’t lessen the burden all that much. Fact is, the Eagles are going to have to make some very tough decisions. Some of the unrestricted free agents to be – tight end Trey Burton, linebacker Nigel Bradham, cornerback Robinson and defensive tackle Beau Allen – are
going to be very difficult to retain. Those players are in line for much larger contracts, and the Eagles just don’t have room under the salary cap. Unless, that is, they lop off some high-dollar contracts. Defensive end Vinny Curry holds a cap hit of $11 million. Offensive tackle Jason Peters has a cap hit of $10.6 million. Safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod combine to eat up $18 million of cap space. Linebacker Mychal Kendricks has a $7.6 million hit in the books, and wide receiver Torrey Smith has a cap charge of $5 million for 2018. So, yeah, it’s going to take some work to get this roster right. And understand this, Eagles fans, that you’re not going to love every decision. The Ea-

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW
W
hen Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., started conditioning in the fall for the indoor track season, head coach Lincoln Townsend made it clear to his small group of girls they needed to earn respect. It required several months of hard work and dedication, along with a late February trip to Penn State University where they competed against the top high school teams from around Pennsylvania. That event – the PTFCA Indoor State Championship – took place on Sunday. If other teams had doubts as to whether the Saints could hang with the best, they don’t anymore. The East Passyunk Crossing-based squad finished with 60 points. State College was the next closest with 35 points. “I told them they are not going to earn respect until they beat the whole state,” Townsend said. “They did that [on Sunday]. They ran kind of aggressive and angry, with a chip on their shoulder.” Neumann-Goretti senior Sydni Townsend won the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.17 seconds while sophomore teammate Mykala Perry placed second with a time of 55.65 seconds. Townsend also anchored the winning 4x400 relay (3:49.76). The team also claimed the top prize in the 4x200 (1:41.35). The strong showing in the relay events included a second-place result in the 4x800 (9:21.03). In the 200, Townsend (24.58) and Perry (24.71), placed third and fourth, respectively. Besides respect from around the state, the Neumann-Goretti athletes also earned a break –
gles that won the Super Bowl won’t be the Eagles of 2018. The roster is going to change. We’re going to say goodbye to some of the players we loved in the course of the championship run. The 2018 Eagles should compete for the title in the NFC East and in the NFC. They’ve got a lot of great pieces in place – they are loaded at quarterback, the running back picture is promising, the lines of scrimmage are very strong – but they also have the task of replacing some pieces that were key in winning Super Bowl LII. This is the nature of the business. Teams change from one year to the next. The faces of the Philadelphia Eagles are about to change, so prepare yourself for the reality of doing business in the NFL.

The Neumann-Goretti girls indoor track and field team won the PTFCA Indoor State Championship on Sunday at Penn State University. no practice this week. But the coach has no plans of making it a long-term thing as the group needs to start conditioning for the spring season. Next week, it’s back in the weight room. Yes, they may be smiling about the state championship moment, but with the next season fast approaching, it’s time to hit the reset button. “I am definitely doing to bring them back down to earth,” Townsend said. “[The state championship is over]. It’s time to forget about it and create a new set of goals. We are going to be back in the weight room on Monday like nothing happened.”
