Steve Carter had not known of his listing as a missing child until last year. S ta f f P h o t o a n d I l l u s t r at i o n by Greg Bezanis
any people must figuratively find themselves to acquire comfort. Steve Carter, however, has needed a literal application to secure solace. Curiosity last year drove the resident of the 700 block of St. Albans Street to research his life, with his sleuthing revealing a 34-year distinction as a missing child. His odyssey has proven empowering and has him hoping to determine his past’s influence on his present. The six-year Bella Vista dweller may appear to have a normal name and a conventional existence, including a blossoming 11-month marriage to wife Tracy and a position with a medical software company, but truth trumps perception. Carter actually carries two legal names, owns three birth certificates and celebrates two birthdays. “These have been interesting months,” he said Friday of the increments since he started to match his Hawaiian origins with his local continuance. “I am in awe of having to try to comprehend everything.” Carter, 35, entered the world as Marx Panama Moriarty Barnes, the son of Charlotte Moriarty and Mark Barnes of Hau‘ula, Hawaii. Their time in the paradisiacal 50th state turned turbulent June 21, 1977, when the mother and 5-month-old child failed to return from a shopping outing.

What are your thoughts on Mayor Nutter’s recent comments about wanting to keep the second casino license in Philadelphia?
“I guess it’s good for the economy, but from what I hear they bring a lot of crime with them. I can see why people want them here, so they don’t have to go to Atlantic City. Budgeting in the city is just as bad as before there were casinos.� Stephanie Bauer, Broad and Jackson streets “I’m actually pro-casino. Anything that generates revenue and jobs is good. I just got out of college six months ago and I can’t find a job. I’d work at a casino, that’d be great.� Sara Heritage, Broad and Tasker streets
“I’m not a fan of casinos, so I suppose I don’t agree. But I do understand that it could provide a lot of jobs, especially in the construction industry and people working at the casino.� Sanford Jablon, Juniper and McKean streets “I agree with that. It would be more jobs. You’ve got a lot of people around here on unemployment and welfare.� Regina McCoy, Broad and Wolf streets

Evening walk turns violent A man was wounded while strolling through Point Breeze Sunday evening. The 21-year-old was headed south on the 1700 block of South 22nd Street at 6 p.m. when he heard gunshots and felt discomfort in his right foot, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He flagged down a man he knew driving by and received a ride to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to receive treatment for a gunshot wound. Police recovered ballistics evidence on the 1800 block of South 23rd Street. Both the motive and intended target of the shooting were unknown at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.
No entry allowed A man was able to muscle his door shut to avoid a home invasion early Monday. A 32-year-old heard a knock at the door at 2:35 a.m. He opened the front door to his home on the 2600 block of Gerritt Street a crack when two unknown men tried to force their ways through the entryway. One was armed with a black handgun and demanded cash, but the resident was able to force the door shut and remain unscathed. The offenders fled in an unknown direction. One was described as black with a dark complexion, in his early 20s, thin, 5-foot6; having short hair, light facial hair; and wearing a gray hoodie and khakis. The second was described as black with a light complexion, in his early 20s, thin, 5-foot-9; having a penny-sized star tattoo
cutline next to his right eye; and wearing an olive-colored jacket. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.
Almost captured A man attempted to pin down a Point Breeze burglar while his girlfriend called the police Saturday afternoon, but was unsuccessful. The 47-year-old learned his property on the 1700 block of South Taylor Street had been broken into when his 44-year-old girlfriend received a call alerting the couple the dwelling’s back door was wide open. The pair arrived at the uninhabited location at 1:45 p.m. As they surveyed the area for missing items, which included a refrigerator, radiator, television, bike, pots, clothes and about $400, an unknown man entered through the rear door with a battery-powered saw. The property owner tried to keep a hold of the perpetrator while his significant other dialed 911. However, the man tried to stab him and managed to get away, heading east on Mountain Street. An emergency medical technician treated a small cut to the man’s right thumb. The thief was described as black with a medium complexion, age 40 to 45, 5-foot-9, 230 pounds, bald; having a goatee; and wearing a green hat, tan jacket and tan pants. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.
Stop, rob and run Two men hopped from an auto and robbed a man in Grays Ferry before returning to their wheels Sunday afternoon. A 23-year-old was at 27th and Reed streets when two men exited a black vehicle at 3:19 p.m. and smacked him in the face with a silver handgun before grabbing his cell phone and wallet, which contained $50 and credit cards. The assailants returned to the car and fled in an unknown direction. A medic transported the man to HUP where he was treated for head and facial injuries. Police did not provide a description of the attackers by press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

A judge found a Point Breeze man guilty of killing his boyfriend. A spat inside the couple’s apartment on the 2000 block of Oakford Street at 2:47 a.m. April 7, 2011 ended with Angel Brown, 27, receiving a fatal stab wound to his chest that Alonzo Simmons allegedly confessed to doing, according to police. “It was an argument between the two that began at a bar in Center City and continued in a cab ride home,” Assistant District
A Southwest Philly teen could remain in jail until his 35th birthday for firing shots at a cop in Queen Village last summer. Devon Marcus, 17, who was tried as an adult, pled guilty to aggravated assault, a firearm violation for not having a license, possession of an instrument of crime and conspiracy of aggravated assault Feb. 17 and was sentenced to nine to 18 years in prison April 16 followed by two to five years on probation. Court of Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner recommended a state correctional institution in Pine Grove, a western Pennsylvania-based maximum-security facility specializing in young adults. “It was the appropriate sentence and the commonwealth and [3rd District Officer Michael] Alice are pleased,” Assistant District Attorney Paul Goldman said. Officers dispersed a crowd of teens on the South Street Bridge at 11:11 p.m. July 16, 2011 and directed the group south on the 600 block of South Front Street, according to police. Marcus attempted to head north when Alice redirected him. He obliged, but when Alice trailed him distantly, Marcus spun around and fired four times at the officer before fleeing west on Bainbridge. Alice was unharmed, pursued Marcus and arrested him less than two blocks away. The conspiracy charge stemmed from a July 6 assault in Southwest Philly, Goldman said. It does not seem the shooting was tied to the string of flash mob incidents that occurred last summer, he said. “Marcus appears to have acted completely independently,” Goldman said. SPR

udolph Gary lost his job as a Philadelphia Police officer when he gunned down a relative during a playful summertime water gun battle in Point Breeze. He now could spend up to 60 years in jail for it. The now-28-year-old of Northeast Philly agreed to a negotiation by his lawyer Fortunato N. Perri Jr. and Assistant District Attorney Deborah Watson-Stokes April 25. Instead of going to trial where he would have faced first-degree murder, Gary pled to third-degree murder, for which he will serve 20 to 40 years in prison plus another five to 20 years for aggravated assault, according to court records. He also will pay $300 in restitution and $1,031 in court costs. Gary gunned down Howard Williams, 22, on his street — the 1800 block of Hoffman Street — at 6:43 p.m. May 2, 2011, according to police. His shots also struck a 26-year-old woman in the leg and grazed an 18-year-old man’s leg. “Basically it was a hot day,” WatsonStokes said. “People were on the block having a water gun fight. Mr. Gary’s girlfriend got squirted with water by mistake.” The water also hit her cell phone and a fight broke out, she said. Gary retrieved his gun told everyone to back up when Howard said “something to the extent of ‘There’s kids out here. Put the gun away,’” Watson-Stokes said. Gary, who was in the process of getting divorced from Williams’ sister, then shot his brother-in-law once, which is believed to have been the blow to the neck that killed him, and then fired a few more times, she said. Gary apologized to the family for his actions in court. “At the time of the sentencing, I think the plea agreement allowed the family to heal,” Watson-Stokes said.
Attorney Thomas Lipscomb said. “…The defendant stabbed the victim once in the chest and the knife went in deep enough to pierce the victim’s heart and he died at the scene or shortly thereafter.” Simmons, now 30, who goes by the name of “Alicia” and was permitted to wear woman’s clothing in court, pled not guilty and waived a jury trial April 13, according to court records. However Court of Common Pleas Judge Glenn B. Bronson found him guilty of third-degree murder and possession of an instrument of crime. His sentencing is set for June 8. He faces a maximum of 22-and-a-half to 45 years in jail, Lipscomb said.

tendees numerous aspects of their trade. “I am constantly looking for explanations,” Pandola, of Broad and Porter streets, said within the site’s Sanctuary, a component of the former Church of the Evangelists, which through a 1922 purchase by Samuel S. Fleisher became a part of his eponymous arts center. The lightly lit spot created a fitting ambiance for the 90-minute presentation, which dovetailed with Friday night’s investigation of the Eastern State Penitentiary to offer a dual look at the city’s supernatural identity. The balance of darkness with luminosity served as a metaphor for what Poberezhny and his colleagues began as Penn State University students. “Philadelphia has an interesting vibe,” Poberezhny said. “It has such amazingly old, preserved architecture that accompanies an impressive look to the future.” He acknowledged naysayers’ gripes about his craft yet emphasized his clan’s studies delve into hot-button issues such as the afterlife, spirits and the suspension of disbelief. “We touch on so many philosophical topics,” he said. “So many people want spiritual quests to yield answers.” The A&E Network felt the same in 2007, as the entity tabbed the alliance to star in “Paranormal State,” a docudrama that paired the pupils’ scrutinizing skills with cases involving supposedly unexplainable phenomena. A ratings darling, the show debuted Dec. 10, ’07, and lasted five seasons, amassing legions of supporters, who, like Pandola, wonder what true terror and ultimate consolation any investigation can yield. Eager to give area hopefuls some guidance, tech specialist Poberezhny and occult authority Music chose Eastern State, a famed Fairmount facility that operated between 1829 and 1971 and became a National Historic Landmark in ’66. Scoping photographs of its architecture helped them to pick Fleisher for a look at their labors. Pandola grabbed a front-row seat to hear her heroes. Donning a shirt bearing the society’s Sept. 16, 2001 formation date, the Lower Moyamensing resident beamed as Poberezhny began by analyzing how the show’s production schedule often had the gang tackling emotionally taxing themes such as demonic instances and less fearinducing circumstances simultaneously. “Moving from case to case, we just had to adjust our mindset and realize we were looking to help no matter what,” Music, the second most-tenured society participant behind founder Ryan Buell, said. “We are always looking to empower our clients,” Poberezhny added.
In their first portion, the visitors addressed possession and a boy’s ghost, noting how the episodes’ attention to disturbed families upped their outreach’s heartrending elements. The talk segued into a look at those who contact the society with only publicity on their mind. Termed “hysterics” and “liars,” they brought on audience laughter, as Poberezhny and Music described their antics through clips and technological trickery. “There is no quick fix to understanding the paranormal,” Poberezhny said in the candid setting, with three episodes highlighting imaginations rife with deceit. “It is not selective about where it wants to strike.” PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW Jersey gave the show 20 cases, with the former responsible for 15, including ’09’s “Ghosts of Gettysburg,” which addressed a bed and breakfast whose renovations had its owners believing Civil War figures had returned to cause disturbances. The latter state yielded ’10’s “Devil in Jersey,” which used a thermal camera to try to track down the Jersey Devil. A ’10 trek to Weymouth, Mass., spawned “They Only Come Out At Night,” a spooky installment on a family battling a pukwudgie, a Native American folklore figure with a reputation for kidnapping children and luring people to their deaths. The crowd grew especially enthused during the discussion of the mini menaces, who, according to legend, also can appear and
disappear at will, create fire and transform into walking porcupines. “Paranormal State” promised no confirmation of any entity or disturbance, seeking to alleviate fears yet calling on religious personnel when a situation called for divine intervention. The cast often battled personal anxieties, with Poberezhny and Music focusing on theirs in the historical locations segment. “Ghosts of the Forgotten,” another ’10 episode, found Buell and Music investigating Painesville Township, Ohio’s Lake County History Center, formerly the Lake County Poor House, which housed societal outcasts and addressed Music’s handling of darkness. “Southern Discomfort at Sweetwater Mansion,” an ’11 analysis, sent the crew to Florence, Ala., where it scoured a plantation house teeming with stories, including a tale of a caretaker’s witnessing a casket laid out in a downstairs room with the corpse of a Confederate soldier inside. The abode tested Poberezhny’s threshold for darkness, too, and receptivity to contact with spirits. Knowing the growing interest in his field, Poberzhny revealed he and his partners may try to create a paranormal hot line, as their show bowed one year ago yesterday. He and Music concluded their talk and opened the floor for questions, with discussions on editing, revisiting cases and dealing with skepticism. The Sweetwater Mansion chronicling appealed greatly to Lisa Vinson, who trav-

eled from Decatur, Ala., for the Eastern State experience and the lecture. A devout believer, she grew up around people with paranormal talents, including a sister whose clairvoyance let her know when people would die, so she knew expanding her own comprehension was key. “I’ve always had enthusiasm for the unknown,” Vinson said of her attraction to head-scratching occasions. “There is so much out there that is just so striking and strange.” Seances with childhood friends conjured a love of mystical doings for Pandola, who, like Vinson, fosters beliefs on the underlying good present within even the most dire-looking matters. “I lost my sister and have felt since she passed that good comes after death, yet I know some evil is out there,” Pandola said. “I am just trying to process it all, trying to search for the ultimate proof.” Poberezhny, who will be in Pittsburgh this week for the tour’s next leg, feels the same. “In the search for answers, we have to believe in positivity,” he said. “The spirit world is there for us to learn, not to tremble.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Time of need
Community members gathered last week on the Grays Ferry block where a mother of five was gunned down. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor
“B
ullets don’t have a name,” Unity in the Community Founder Anton Moore said to the crowd gathered outside Clarice Douglas’ home on the 1500 block of South Corlies Street April 25. Bullets took the innocent woman’s life April 20. As she waited on her street for her youngest children to arrive home from school, she was caught in the midst of Hakeem Burley and Shekinah Williams’ alleged gun duel. (Burley is in custody, but a $5,000 reward remains available for information Clarice leading to Williams’ arrest.) A mix of community groups organized the peaceful demonstration in Grays Ferry to demand an end to violence and a fundraiser to support the family. “A mother was taken on these streets and we need answers,” Moore, of 20th Street and Snyder Avenue, said. The homicide marks the second of 2012 in Grays Ferry, and follows last year’s tally of seven slayings, with four occurring between Sept. 28 and Oct. 8. “I actually live up the street — two blocks away,” Jordan Harris, a resident of 31st and Reed streets, who was victorious in last week’s primary election for 186th District state representative, said at the vigil. “I love everyone, but I don’t love when folks shoot each other in the community.”
TONY WILLIAMS HAS lived next door to the Douglas family for about 17 years. “She’s a very good person, very nice,” he said after the vigil. “We used to sit back and laugh, joke around as neighbors should.”
He was behind his home in his driveway when his son alerted him their neighbor had been shot. Williams dialed 911. “I’m really against guns out here because there’s too many people getting killed like this woman here,” he said. “She’s a good person, a good mother.” The 45-year-old had five children — Wayne Newell Jr., 28; Anesa W Newell, 21; Keyonna Douglas, N 118; Savion Douglas, 11; and Bryonna Douglas, 8. Anesa B Newell currently is caring for N hher younger siblings, and plans tto seek legal guardianship. “I may have to transfer,” she ssaid referencing Maryland’s Hood College, where she is H studying s criminology and social Douglas work. “That’s a small sacrifice.” Keyonna Douglas, a senior at Universal Audenried High School, 3301 Tasker St., has been accepted to Millersville University and plans to pursue the same degree, but first Victoria D. Wylie, of 22nd and Mifflin streets, is piecing together what she hopes will be a memorable prom. “I’ve got a dress for her right now — beautiful,” Wylie, who founded 4 Da Luv of Taylay after her brother Donte was killed inside his Point Breeze home in ’08, said. “Her mother would want it.” The support from the community, that includes $500 in donations collected from neighbors and complete strangers at the vigil, has been incredible, Anesa Newell said. “I don’t know how to put that into words,” she said. “This is the stuff that you see on TV.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L.

MISSING CHILD continued from page 1 time away, Barnes devised a search only after nearly three weeks had passed. Those days have become a mysterious stretch, yet Carter, through contact with Hawaiian officials, has since January 2011 obtained solutions to some inquiries. He has learned a woman, who dubbed herself Jane Amea in interactions with police, broke into another female’s home and, upon her discovery, offered a new birth date and name, Tenzin Amea, for her offspring. Carter’s half-sister Jenny Monnheimer, who was an 8-year-old New Mexico resident set to meet her sibling that July, noted nobody has confirmed the intruder’s identity, though she believes her mother was the offender. “It may have been, though the chance is small, another woman possibly took Marx from Char and ran to the other side of the mountain,” she said via e-mail. His mother’s placement in a psychiatric hospital put Carter in protective care. Once Moriarty fled, he became a ward of the state. As police missed a chance to mesh the situation with Barnes’ report, Carter ended up in an orphanage, speaking pidgin, a fusion of languages indicative of his contemporaries’ linguistic diversity. “I didn’t speak English right away, but I’ve more than made up for that, especially lately,” Carter, whose newfound celebrity has even led to a piece in People, said jokingly. He beamed when speaking of Sept. 23, 1981, or “Come To Be Our Boy Day,” the fortunate date on which Steve and Pat Carter, stationed in Oahu because of the former’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps status, adopted him. “They had wanted a Caucasian baby, and people thought they were crazy for seeking one in Hawaii, but there I was,” Carter said. The family relocated to Clarksville, Tenn., soon after, residing there until the youngest member, now William Steven Tenzin Carter, turned 9. The trio then flocked to Medford Lakes, N.J., which Carter dubbed “storybook quaint. Though his new surroundings were short on drama, he knew his beginnings teemed with confusion, including the fact it took a year to create his first birth certificate, which bore Tenzin Amea as his appellation. Thoughts on his biological family surfaced, but contentment with his state prevented investigations. His attitude changed in January ’11 when he read that Carlina White had solved her 1987 kidnapping from a New York hospital. He consulted missingkids.com, the website for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and located a composite image of what Marx might have looked like at 28. The creation stunned Carter, who deemed it an appropriate rendering.
Steve Carter has ample time to uncover what limited details had kept hidden. He enjoyed a loving childhood with stepfather Steve Carter.

“Thatt shot “Th h t started t t d it all ll ffor me,”” hhe said. id An October DNA test provided good news and ushered Carter into a whirlwind of activity that has yielded phone calls to Barnes and Monnheimer and increased concern for Moriarty, whose whereabouts remain unknown. “There is still so much to be found out,” he said. MONNHEIMER EXERCISED HER inquisitive nature 10 years ago, when her relatives’ situation had become a dormant dilemma. “I learned through my father that the Attorney General’s office in Hawaii obtained some monies through a grant and had opened a Cold Case Unit,” she said. “Because of funding issues, they evidently weren’t taking many cases. We wrote to them outlining why we felt the Cold Case Unit should consider their case; it must have raised some significant questions because they decided to take it.” Her persistence helped authorities to devise the image. Based in Alexandria, Va., the center, which debuted in ’84 under the Missing Children’s Assistance Act, annually addresses about 800,000 missing children reports, with a 97 percent recovery rate, including more than 400 long-term cases. Though his story counts as a success and he will advocate for the agency’s work, Carter chose not to rush to make use of the results. “I had extreme hesitation about contacting anyone,” he said. “After all, there is no handbook on interacting with lost relatives.” Reaching out to his first family, though,
h bred a healthy amount of mutual wonhas der and regard. “When you have people you love go missing, there is a part of you that needs to believe they are no longer living because it’s so painful, yet, at the same time, you can’t shut the door completely because hope is extremely powerful,” Monnheimer said. Talks with his sister have fostered preliminary plans to unite for a summer Hawaii excursion. “It will be interesting to try to build relationships with my existing family and blood relatives,” Carter said. He has not firmed up future interactions with his father, who also has two daughters, and has refrained from holding any hostility, choosing to have facts guide him. “I can’t jump to conclusions,” he said. “I am looking to have court records opened so I can gather more information.” He knows he has a loving sibling, who is hoping Carter will join her in trying to determine Moriarty’s fate. “I feel very protective and connected and very much like a big sister,” Monnheimer said. “It’s beyond anything I thought could happen to be in my lifetime.” Carter abstains from dwelling on what his life might have included had his summer stroll not occurred. He focuses on what will come, such as running in Sunday’s Broad Street Run and celebrating his first wedding anniversary next month. Having beaten skin cancer five times, he knows nothing can daunt him. “Each day is an opportunity,” he said, “and I’m eager to learn.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

A Pennsport choreographer uses dance to reach out to the community, as well as to make connections and raise questions about society as a whole.
By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
“W
e were interested in exploring fear and things we were afraid of. And how the physical body in a gallery space would be powerful for us,” Colleen Hooper, of Second and Morris streets said. Hooper and co-artist Liz Reynolds decided that their installation piece for “Recipro•city,” an exhibit at Old City’s Painted Bride Art Center, would explore these themes, in light of the then-newly passed National Defense Authorization Act and the 10-year anniversary of Guantanamo Bay. “It was something we felt was important in raising people’s awareness,” Hooper, 33, said of the act that allows indefinite military detention without charge. “I think it’s something we, as citizens, were concerned about. I just thought it wasn’t getting the type of coverage in the media that I thought it should have been.” The resulting work that premiered April 6 and is on view through June 3 is called “Indefinite Detention.” The piece features an installation of jail-like bars, a sound collage of politicians speaking about Guantanamo and, for its debut, Hooper and Reynolds dressed in hoods with nude-colored garments to add a live element. “We had a friend dressed as a guard. Each of us was hooded, we had hoods over our faces and handcuffs so we couldn’t see anything. He would lead us through the crowd of
people downstairs without being able to see,” Hooper said of the April 6 live portion. “We had a stool in front of our exhibit and we stood on the stool for 10 minutes or so, standing still.” The performances elicited 54 written responses — with some responses still streaming in from attendees that did not see the live element — which the artists plan to use in another live event at the installation tomorrow. “At the next opening, we will be sharing responses with people, sharing with the audience in different ways. When people come to the structure, I’m going to give them an audience response and ask them to read them and record them,” Hooper said. “They’re echoing back the response to the performance in April. They are getting to learn someone else’s reaction to the situation.” Hooper and the 10 other artists that collabo-
Lifestyles rated to create the multiple installations that make up “Recipro•city,” which the gallery describes as, ”an exhibition-led inquiry into contemporary practice of communal exchange,” were looking to investigate sharing as an art form. “We wanted to give people a platform to reflect on how they feel,” Hooper said. A BEAR, DEL., native, Hooper began creative modern dance at age 4 before starting ballet at age 8. “[I was drawn to contemporary] because it was very expressive,” Hooper said. “When I was 10, my ballet teacher told me I was too short for ballet. I could move to Europe and dance, but I was so young and afraid of that. I had in my head that modern was more flexible in terms of the type of body you could have and it was exciting. It was expressive movement.” Twenty-three years later, Hooper now stands at 5-foot-2, which she admits is on the smaller side for ballerinas, but also notes there are many notable successes for those of a similar stature. Regardless, she is thrilled she pursued her first passion. She studied dance and English at Washington D.C.’s George Washington University. After receiving her bachelor’s, she moved to New York City, nine days before
Sept. 11, 2001. “It was definitely very difficult and it was scary. I didn’t think about leaving. I was really excited to be there, but it was quite a challenging first year,” Hooper said. “I was trying to get used to everything and find my way around. It was so much more challenging and in some other ways, a lot of people came together and really reached out. There was a sense of community that I probably would not have had if I came at another time.” Hooper spent the next seven years pursuing what she had moved north to do: Choreograph. She was dancing, working in arts administration and choreographing her own pieces. “I decided to come to Philadelphia to get [a master’s in fine arts] in dance at Temple. I had a goal of teaching college and furthering my dance education so I’d have more to offer to students. And to continue developing as an artist,” she said. Temple was attractive as it was one of the institutions that allowed graduates to be the lead teacher in many undergraduate classes. Hooper took full advantage, helming eight classes over her three years of master’s studies, which she finished a year ago. However, she continued to branch out into the dance community.

versity fellowship to do a Ph.D in dance, so I’m still at Temple,” Hooper, who began her final set of graduate studies in September, said. “The fellowship provides funding to study for two years of coursework. Then you can begin teaching and writing your dissertation. “I’m focusing on community performance and community dance.” Community dance, Hooper said, is focused on working with non-dancer community members and creating pieces. “You create a performance with people in the community and it’s based on finding a collective meaning,” she said. Currently in the research phase, Hooper is excited to bring this disciple into greater awareness in Philly, and to continue to grow as an artist, both in school and out. “I think Philadelphia has a lot of potential. The Mural Arts Program has done so much community work,” Hooper said. “I really like South Philly — being in the city and close to things and art. South Philadelphia is a wonderful community. It’s a really friendly, nice place to live and I’m looking forward to getting to know more people this summer.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

SPECIAl NOTICE
“The last site-specific work I did was in Bella Vista,” Hooper said of September’s “Revolving Spaces” that her and artist Francis Gremillion, of Broad and Daly streets, put on in conjunction with the Fringe Festival. “It was traveling dance music and art performance centered at 10th and Carpenter. We traveled [east on] League Street and [up] Ninth and then [west on] Kimball. It was a celebratory performance that was about revealing and deepening the ties in the community.” The Fringe piece gave the soon-to-be Pennsport resident a chance to connect with the local community. The performance pair joined the bocce league and spent the summer nights practicing in Bardascino Park, 1000 S. 10th St., where neighbors would often take notice. “It was recommended to us by a friend who had lived in that neighborhood. We wanted a place that was a gathering place and that kind of captured the old and new Philadelphia,” she said. “That was both historic and new residents and new immigrants — an area that was a mixture of all of those.” Moving to her Pennsport home shortly after the performance, Hooper didn’t miss a beat. “I’m actually, believe it or not, I got a uni-

he City wants to encourage recycling, so why is it so tough to get a recycling bin? The Sports Complex Special Services District tried to help out recently by distributing recycle bins at various locations within the district on a Saturday afternoon. The circular announcing the event warned bins would be distributed while supplies last. My location was scheduled for a 2 p.m. distribution, but there were no bins to be had. One of the workers told me all of the bins had already been distributed at previous destinations. I’m not blaming the district, although I have suggested to them the bin distribution could have been done more equitably. The City suggests if you need a new one, you should go to its location at 3033 S. 63rd St. Not only is that tough for non-driving seniors, but when I last checked, there were no bins available at that location either. The other suggested alternative is to buy a plastic bin and designate it for recycling. The problem with that is the bins cost money and they still have to be transported home. A complaint to the City’s muchheralded 311 resulted in being told the center would ask the Streets Department to respond. To date, there has been no response. The City does not hesitate to fine you if you don’t recycle. The mayor does numerous public-service spots imploring us to go green. On recycle day, the collector indifferently tosses the empty containers about with the abandon of kids tossing rocks in a creek. My recycle bin and probably yours are held together with tape. So much for going green. ... The most overused word in the food business used to be “gourmet.” Now it’s “artisan.” When Dunkin’ Donuts advertises artisan bagels, that word has pretty much lost its meaning entirely. ... If you’ve tried to reserve a book at your local library lately, don’t hold your breath. After waiting more than three weeks for a book that was available at multiple libraries, but not in our area, I inquired about it. Note: If it’s not a romance novel, a mystery book or written by James Patterson, chances are it’s not on the shelf of our local library. I am told there is a shortage of drivers to pick up and deliver the books to the requested library. Apparently, there also are staff shortages in the library too because when I went to pick up the book, the sign on the library door read “Open
one hour late due to staff shortages.” ... Little known fact: Before World War II, there were a number of Italian-language schools (wonder if sandwich shops had signs — “Speak English?”). Hysteria hit America when we went to war with Italy being one of our foes. Italian-language schools were viewed as training grounds for fascists (sort of like some folks view mosques and terrorists as interchangeable). The schools were shut down. According to About.com, the FBI arrested 1,521 Italian aliens, many just for curfew violations. Eventually, about 600,000 Italian-Americans were branded “enemy aliens.”... I received one of those large distribution e-mails where senior citizens pat themselves on the back while criticizing the younger generation. The e-mail begins by claiming victim status. If you are an American, no matter what your status or ethnic or racial background, you feel victimized. And while feeling victimized, chances are that you also have been offended. It’s right there in our Constitution, you have been endowed with the inalienable right to be an offended victim. The thing about this e-mail is it reminded me of when my parents thought the American youth was sending America straight to hell. You remember, their sentences used to begin, “In my day...” Here we are again — we seniors are claiming every virtue for ourselves and singing “What’s the Matter With Kids Today?” from “Bye Bye Birdie.”.... History keeps repeating itself — it repeats on me. I think I need an Alka-Seltzer. ... I always hated the phrase “cafeteria Catholics.” Me, I left the cafeteria. Many Catholic conservatives today also are “cafeteria Catholics.” The church was against our war in Iraq, while most Catholic conservatives supported it. The church opposes capital punishment, but most Catholic conservatives support the death penalty. The Vatican is sharply critical of many of our economic policies that hurt the poor, whereas Catholic conservatives, such as U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, call for starving safety-net programs while cutting taxes for the wealthy. The cafeteria has gotten crowded. ... Hillary Clinton has become extremely popular since losing the presidential nomination to Barack Obama four years ago. In fact, her popularity is at an all-time high. I am a fan of the secretary of state, but her popularity reminds me of an old sports adage — the most popular member of a football team is the second-string quarterback since he has yet to make mistakes in action, or in this case, the potential president-in-waiting ... Why are Phillies broadcasters Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen relegated to radio? They bring a sense of dry humor to the broadcasts that remind me of the best days of Richie Ashburn and HarryKalas. They deserve TV time. ... SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Movies Pixar’s 13th featurelength movie, “Brave” features the voluminous Lord MacGuffin, (voiced by Kevin McKidd), from left, the quicktempered Lord Dingwall (voiced by Robbie Coltrane) and the indignant Lord Macintosh (voiced by Craig Ferguson).
Summer movie preview 2012 By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
T
he Oscars pass, cold temperatures subside, and soon enough, it’s time again for the big-ticket movies so many mainstream filmgoers wait for all year. As usual, the summer of 2012 brings sequels and superheros, action and effects. Ushered in by “The Avengers,” comic book favorites Batman (“The Dark Knight Rises”) and Spider-Man (“The Amazing Spider-Man”) will make their returns, along with the roughnecks of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and the musclebound gun wielders of “The Expendables 2.” Fairytale gals will have their time to shine, too, in the live-action fantasy “Snow White and the Huntsman” and Pixar’s “Brave,” the first female-led feature from the animation giants. Also on the roster is a mad bit of revisionist history (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”), a bold sci-fi remake (“Total Recall”), and the latest piece of fictionalized self-help (“What to Expect When You’re Expecting”). It’s a lot to navigate, but here are 10 titles you probably shouldn’t miss.
Dark Shadows (May 11) Johnny Depp’s latest collaboration with macabre maestro Tim Burton is a revival of the vintage soap opera of the same name, which sees an 18th-century vampire shack up with his groovy descendants circa 1972. Depp is that vampire, and his kin are embodied by a an all-star cast, which includes Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloë Grace Moretz and Burton squeeze Helena Bonham Carter.
Moonrise Kingdom (May 25) Picked as the opening night selection of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, “Moon-
After months of hype, Hollywood’s blockbuster season begins this week. Here’s a look at some titles worthy of a night out.
rise Kingdom” is the first effort from Wes Anderson since “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” and it looks to promise its predecessor’s same youthful spirit. The movie focuses on a pint-sized couple (Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward), who run away from their sleepy town and leave its inhabitants (Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, etc.) in a worried, quirky frenzy.
Prometheus (June 8) Poised to emerge as the summer’s best movie, Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” takes the director back to his sci-fi roots, standing as a pseudo-prequel to the original “Alien” film. Taking strands of its inspiration’s plot and running in new directions, the brilliantly marketed drama looks to be both an artistic smash and a geek’s dream. Its stars include Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender.
Rock of Ages (June 15) For the musical lovers out there, 2012 offers the filmed version of Broadway’s “Rock of Ages,” which has been striving to hit theaters after debuting on the New York stage three years ago. Directed by “Hairspray” helmer Adam Shankman, the movie features Julianne Hough as an aspiring actress, whose experiences amid 1980s guitar-rock culture introduce her to characters played by Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary J. Blige and Tom Cruise.
Brave (June 22) Pixar films have braved the oceans and even outer space, but never has the studio let a female lead the adventure, which is but one thing that makes their newest film, “Brave,” an anticipated event. Voiced by Kelly Macdonald, lead character Princess Merida is a gifted, rebellious archer in Scotland who winds up having to break a witch’s curse and, in effect, find her worth. Expect plenty of spectacle and humor for every age bracket.
The Dark Knight Rises (July 20) A movie that needs no introduction, Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” wraps up the most popular comicbook franchise ever, closing out the tale of Batman (Christian Bale) with the arrival of formidable foes Bane (Tom Hardy) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway). Set eight years after its blockbuster predecessor, “Rises” features a Batman who’s not as up to snuff, and its socioeconomic themes promise real-world relevance.
Ruby Sparks (July 25) The long-awaited sophomore flick from Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (“Little Miss Sunshine”), “Ruby Sparks” tells of a struggling novelist (Paul Dano) whose latest creation, a red-headed dream girl (Zoe Kazan), suddenly appears in his home. Kazan wrote the script, and also happens to be Dano’s real-life sweetie. Co-stars include Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas, Steve Coogan and Elliot Gould.
Step Up Revolution (July 27)
Wipe those giggles off your faces! The “Step Up” franchise may be little more than fast-moving froth, but “Step Up 3D” proved a visually stunning musical romp, and with the well-employed format still in use, this vibrant fourquel could easily follow suit. Only a few familiar faces are set to return (Moose is back!), but audiences will be glad to know the action moves to Miami, where a traffic jam is as good a place as any to, you know, jam.
The Bourne Legacy (Aug. 3) Matt Damon may be out as the titular amnesiac spy, but that doesn’t mean this espionage franchise has lost its hyperkenetic juice. Beginning again with a new star (Jeremy Renner) and a new director (series scripter Tony Gilroy), “The Bourne Legacy” is the first film not based directly on a Robert Ludlum novel, which could just give it the rejuvenation it needs. Alongside Renner, “Bourne” stars Joan Allen and David Strathairn return.
Hope Springs (Aug. 10) Fresh on the heels of her Oscar win for “The Iron Lady,” Meryl Streep is back as a 60-something woman whose marriage has lost its heat, and whose husband (Tommy Lee Jones) isn’t much interested in snuggling up. The couple drops everything and flies to the quaint town of Hope Springs, where a therapist (Steve Carell) helps them to regain their spice. Director David Frankel already piloted Streep to greatness in “The Devil Wears Prada,” and Jones’ innate gruffness could make for a sweet match.

ith Chinatown so close to South Philly, takeout is always an option; but why not bring the flavor right into your kitchen? With Steffie Sacca’s Chinese Chicken and Peanuts, you can. The resident of the 1800 block of South Dover Street mixes sautéed chicken and peanuts with carrots, garlic, onions and other ingredients to concoct this delectable dish. Steffie recommends serving it over white rice or by itself — either way, it’s delicious! SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.
Steffie’s Chinese Chicken and Peanuts INGREDIENTS:
1 pound of boneless chicken breast 4 carrots, peeled and julienned 1/2 of a small onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, sliced thin 1/2 cup of peanuts 2 cubes of chicken bouillon Ginger, to taste Soy sauce, to taste Enough cornstarch to thicken the mixture Enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a sauté pan Salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup of water
DIRECTIONS:
Add the chicken bouillon cubes
to water. When dissolved, add the cornstarch to thicken the mixture slightly. Sauté the chicken with the onion and garlic in the oil. When the chicken is almost done sautéing, add the carrots. Stir until the carrots are slightly softened. Add the garlic to taste. Add the peanuts and ginger, and sauté for about one minute. Add the cornstarch/ bouillon mixture and soy sauce. Cook until the liquid is slightly reduced. Add the salt and pepper. pper.

chocolate mousse ($7) was warm, thin, runny and overly sweet. Neither Sandy nor I could eat it. Our server whisked it away and the hostess brought me complimentary mango and apricot sorbet, which hit the spot. It was not overly sweet, and was cool and refreshing. Four chocolate truffles were glorious and obviously homemade. The key lime tart ($6) imparted a grainy texture when it should be silky smooth. Sandy liked it better than I did. Service was attentive yet took a bit of time because SoWe was doing a brisk business, inside and outside. It is catering to the neighborhood, which is grow-

smoky flavor, which is the hallmark of this mezze. Still, we enjoyed it and smeared the creamy dip on fresh, warm pita bread triangles. Five thin English cucumber slices were also on the plate. The grilled artichoke hearts ($8) were nicely done. There was a proper mix of olive oil and lemon juice that dressed them well. Baby and globe artichokes are in season now, so many restaurants are serving them. A few strips of roasted red peppers and a bit of Parmesan came with the appetizer. From the salads, we selected roasted golden beets ($8.50), which was on the small side, but delivered a fine balance of flavor and texture. Yellow beets were roasted, cooled and sliced into bite-size pieces. A few haricot verts were scattered on the salad for color and crunch. We liked the use of lola rosa, a deep purple sturdy salad green that was a first for Sandy. Like the artichokes, the dressing was in perfect balance — a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, chopped hazelnuts and tangy Asiago cheese. We saw burger after burger arriving in the dining room. A big, juicy, hefty burger pleases me in a pub. SoWe’s version ($11) did not disappoint. I think it was one of the best burgers in town. It arrived medium-rare topped with melted cheddar and strips of crisp thick-slab bacon on a soft, seeded bun. So many places skimp on the bacon but not at SoWe. We demolished a pile of hot, completely-free-of-grease, slightly-salty fries with ease. The desserts need more attention. The

ix years ago, Divan Turkish Kitchen opened at 22nd and Carpenter streets. It was one of the first restaurants in the South of South neighborhood. Our delicious dinner ran the gamut from tempting mezze to lamb entrées. Divan’s congenial owner told us he did the construction work with his dad. He also proudly said Turkish cuisine is the finest in the world. I would not go that far, but the foods of the Eastern Mediterranean are tasty when prepared properly, so I was surprised to read Divan was going to be turned into a gastro pub called SoWe. Does South Philly need another pub where beer reigns king when Turkish foods filled the culinary gap in South Philly? My sister Sandy and I arrived around 6:30 on a balmy evening. Tables set outside were quickly filled. We ventured inside and were seated at a highly polished table for two in the bar area. Our server told us SoWe stands for southwest because of its location. OK, that makes sense, but it is a strange name for a pub. Allagash White ($6) is on tap and is a light, refreshing wheat beer that Sandy at first thought was lemonade because of its pretty yellow hue. The menu is a friendly mix of appetizers, salads, a soup of the day, sandwiches and platters. The roasted eggplant and yogurt dip appetizer ($7) looked like hummus and tasted like hummus. It did not impart the

T h e To q u e S t o p s H e r e
Saturday marks the annual celebration of Mexican heritage where popular dishes and beverages from a southern neighbor set the scene for a party-like atmosphere. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
A
number of years ago, friends who live in Queen Village invited Edward and me to their annual outdoor Cinco de Mayo bash. It was about 90 degrees at sunset. Since I hate the heat, I headed indoors where the ice in my drink did not melt as soon as it hit the air. Mexican food has become a staple in American homes. Salsa has replaced ketchup as the No. 1 condiment in the United States, and I would bet the house, the farm and the dog that guacamole could be our country’s most popular spread. School cafeterias serve tacos for lunch. They are big winners with kids as was evident during an episode of “Top Chef” when pork carnitas with pickled onions were found to be the top winner among the students and judges. Walk throughout South Philadelphia and you will find Mexican restaurants, grocery stores, taco houses and bodegas. In Center City, you can spend a big buck on Mexican fare which is why I prefer South Philly's Mexican restaurants. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I have decided to highlight recipes for this year’s celebration which is fortunate for all of us who love Mexican food. It falls on a Saturday. Su r e i t ’s
easy to open a jar of salsa or buy guacamole in a supermarket. That’s too easy. These recipes are a snap to follow and the easy-to-find ingredients will end up in delicious dishes for your Cinco de Mayo buffet table.
freshly ground black pepper, to taste 4 tablespoons of fresh cilantro or parsley leaves, chopped 4 tablespoons of fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon of jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
Guacamole
Directions: Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for a few hours. Makes about two cups.
Ingredients:
3 large, ripe avocados, mashed with a fork Juice from 2 limes Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro or parsley leaves, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, smashed and finely minced
Directions: Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap or place in an air-tight container. Chill for a few hours. Makes about 2 cups. Note from Phyllis: Some recipes call for a small tomato, seeded and finely diced.
Pico de Gallo Ingredients:
6 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 large shallot, diced Kosher salt and
Mexican Stuffed Eggs From “Ethnic Cuisine: The Flavor Principle Cookbook” by Elisabeth Rozin Ingredients: 6 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled and cut in half 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise 2 tablespoons of lime juice 1 teaspoon of canned jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, finely minced 1 scallion, finely minced 2 tablespoons of cilantro or parsley, finely chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Cayenne pepper, for sprinkling
Directions: Carefully scoop out the egg yolks. Place them in a bowl and mash well. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the cayenne pepper and mix well. Carefully spoon the mixture into the egg
white halves. Sprinkle with the cayenne pepper. Makes 12 stuffed eggs. Note from Phyllis: This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. My friend, the late Elisabeth Rozin, lived in Mexico for a while and knew much about the diverse cuisines of this country. I knew if I leafed through her cookbooks, I would find an unusual recipe. Everyone loves deviled eggs, but this recipe sounds absolutely delicious.
Margarita Ingredients:
1-1/2 ounces of tequila 1 ounce of Cointreau 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice
Directions: Combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass rimmed with kosher salt. Makes one Margarita. Note from Phyllis: This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. Fresh lime juice is a must. The best way to salt the rim of the martini glass is to rub a piece of lime around the rim. Pour some kosher salt into a plate and dip the glass into the salt. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Gastric Banding Surgery Patient
SOUTHPHILLYREVIEW.COM 4 1
My job involves pep rallies. I announce college games. But back when I was 348 pounds, I didn’t have much pep – just high blood pressure, headaches, and sleepless nights. Luckily, my wife introduced me to the people at Jefferson, where I had my gastric banding surgery. Today, my hypertension and sleep apnea are a thing of the past, but the Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery team is still with me – following up with helpful information, even making my monthly appointments with a dietician who helps me plan what I eat. At my current 188 pounds, it’s way easier for me to get in the team spirit. And, with all my new friends at Jefferson, I’ve got a whole other team to cheer for.

Familiar foes
Two friends found themselves on opposing sides in a lopsided Public League affair. By Bobby Kittredge Review Intern
E
very game has its tipping point, and sometimes it comes earlier than others. When the Pioneers of Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St., met the Lancers of Central High School for Friday afternoon’s blustery ballgame, that point came in the top of the first inning. “I wanted it so bad, to get out of that first inning with no runs,” GAMP starting pitcher Tyler Criniti, normally a reliever who was making his first start of the year, said. Instead, a costly error on a double play ball extended the frame, and seven consecutive two-out hits by the Lancers’ lineup created a 10-run first inning that would provide more than enough insurance for Central’s 18-2 win in a game called after four innings as a result of the mercy rule. After surrendering two walks and a single to load the bases with one out, Criniti induced an easy, bouncing ground ball to the second baseman that should have resulted in a double play. Instead, as the senior inched toward the dugout, his fielder’s errant throw sailed into the outfield, allowing two runs to score. “I thought I was dialed in at the beginning,” Criniti said after the game. “But that double play ball that went wrong, as soon as that happened I lost focus and it all went down south from there.” The frustrated pitcher was forced to stroll back to the mound, and despite retiring the next batter on a fly ball to center field, the next seven batters he faced reached base safely. The Central players raced around the base paths at a speed that rivaled the cars zipping by on I-76 in the background of Sabres Field, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue, until one was finally caught in a pickle to end the inning. Senior Mike Cavallaro took the mound for Central, adding a new chapter to a rivalry that has been brewing between him and Criniti for years.

“I’ve been playing with Mike forever. Me and him have been playing together since Little League,” Criniti said. “I wanted to battle him today.” With each player pitching and batting leadoff for his respective squad, the two seniors were set to duel. That was where the similarities in their outings ended. While Criniti, a resident of the 1100 block of Mercy Street, surrendered 10 runs in the first, Cavallaro, a resident of the 2700 block of S. 18th Street, completely shut down GAMP’s offense. The 2011 first-team All-Public selection recorded his first two outs of the game on just two pitches, then ended the inning two batters later by striking out GAMP senior outfielder Nick Carine, the Pioneers’ cleanup batter. “I was really just trying to hit my spots and let my defense help me out,” Cavallaro said. CAVALLARO, WHO HAS committed to continuing his athletic career at the University of the Sciences, recorded another strikeout and cruised through the second inning just as easily as he did the first, by which time his team had built a 13-0 lead. In his three
at bats, two of which came in the first inning, he tallied a walk and a single and scored twice. Criniti, twice a second-team All-Public selection who will most likely play for the Community College of Philadelphia, was unable to find his own groove. Swinging at the first pitch he saw in his two at bats against Cavallaro, resulting in a ground out and a pop out, he admitted that his frustration on the mound carried over to his plate appearances. “I was just trying to crush the ball at that point,” he said. GAMP’s pitching duties, meanwhile, were taken over by senior Desmond Drummond starting in the second inning. Though he struggled with control at times, allowing eight runs on five hits and six walks, the hard-throwing righty retired the potent Lancer offense in order in the third inning. “I just wanted to shut them down and throw as hard as I could,” he said of his three-inning relief effort. “This game isn’t over ’til it’s over, so I pitched my best.” The Pioneers were never able to bring the score back within reach, however, despite notching a pair of runs against Caval-
laro in his third and final inning of work. Carine avenged his first-inning strikeout with a two-out double that plated two, but that was GAMP’s only offense of the day. With the game securely in hand, Central coach Rich Weiss elected to pull Cavallaro after the third inning. “If I pitched him too long he wouldn’t be available Monday,” Weiss said. “We’re going to have all four of our top guys available Monday.” “I think it was the right move,” Cavallaro said. “As many arms as we can have [on Monday] will be good.” Good it was, as the Lancers took Monday’s close contest from division-rival Frankford, 6-4, boosting their record to 10-2. Criniti and his GAMP teammates, meanwhile, lost no time in rebounding from Friday’s lopsided defeat. The following morning they defeated Lincoln by a score of 7-6 — halting a three-game losing streak — and then knocked off Franklin Towne Charter, 5-1, on Monday. The back-to-back victories evened their overall mark to 8-8, which includes a 5-6 league record. “We have some young guys that we throw into the fire,” GAMP coach Art Kratchman said. “In the long run it helps us. [Criniti, a four-year player] was one of those guys once, and you can see what a quality player he is now.” The Pioneers are back in action this afternoon against Esperanza followed by Saturday’s 2 p.m. non-league contest against Neumann-Goretti at McNichol Field, 25th and Moore streets.
