Reassessments raising concern over taxes With some residents seeing their homes nearly double in market value, local homeowners are questioning the formula behind appraisals, file for appeal By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

S TOM BECK/South Philly Review

On Friday afternoon at City Hall, 19-year-old South Philly native Kasim Shaw was presented with his high school diploma after a tumultuous few years in the wake of being charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.

asim Shaw’s mom always knew he had it in him. “His hard work was nothing but faith,� said Izetta Shaw. “At first he lost it. He’s a boy, well, a young man now, and I believe from the trials he went through through high school lowered his self-esteem and lowered his pride, and he felt

like he couldn’t handle it. I always told him, ‘I always believed in you.’� Life was good for Shaw, now 19, during his high school days. He was captain of Mastery Charter’s basketball team and was a member of the National Honor Society. He got straight A’s. Shaw had an astute work ethic, but the thing he didn’t have was money. So he turned to the streets. “I was a senior at Mastery Charter and left near the end of the year. There was non-

stop chaos. It was dangerous, and the trouble came to my doorstep,� he said. Shaw was caught selling drugs and was forced to drop out of high school only three credits short of getting his diploma. To add insult to injury, around the same time in early 2017, his 17-year-old brother was gunned down on South 7th Street right before his eyes. “I lost it all,� he said. See TCY, page 6>>

outh Philly homeowners continue to voice concerns over April’s citywide property reassessment – the first mass reappraisal since the Actual Value Initiative in 2014. After receiving revised property market values in the mail last month, Girard Estate Area Residents – or GEAR – recently held a meeting led by Councilman Kenyatta Johnson and Residential Administrator for the Office of Property Assessment Jaye Divine to shed light to the latest colossal increases, as well as guide residents in filing the First Level Review or FLR, the first step to appeal proposed assessments. “It was important to get everybody together because of the First Level Review, which is just an appeal, so that the mayor can see how upset the people are,� Jody Della Barba, president of GEAR, told SPR. “Because this is totally without rhyme or reason.� Some South Philly residents were hit with a nearly 30 percent increase while other homeowners saw their property market values more than double, ranging from hundreds of dollars to more than $1,000 increases in property taxes. These jumps come before the potential 4 percent property tax increase proposed by Mayor Jim Kenney to benefit the school district. The First Level Review, which can take up to a year to fully process, allows homeowners to officially refute the assessments using evidence they believe proves an inaccurate projection.

Spotlight on…

Adam Ellis, D.O. Healing South Philly Patients Every Day What made you decide to become a family practice doctor? I have many physicians in my family, so you could say it was already in my blood as a child. When I was in elementary school I couldn’t think of anything more valuable or interesting to me than a career in medicine. I liked getting to the root of a problem and so I trained in both psychiatry and general surgery as a resident. I was given extra training in family medicine since I wanted to go into practice for myself. What is your personal care standard for your patients? Care with me is always personal with only me as the doctor. There are no other people between me and the patient. No students or physician assistants are in my office, so my patients get true continuity of care. This has been my standard for over twenty years. I offer house calls, visiting my patients right in the comfort and privacy of their own home. This is something only a private practitioner can offer their patients. I am happy to do it since I really enjoy getting to know the patients and their families. South Philly is very family oriented- -it’s just a special place and has wonderful families I have had the chance to care for. Any special areas of expertise? I have a special interest in treating knee and shoulder pain; by using joint injections I have helped patients decrease their joint pain and maintain their usual lifestyle until surgery is required. Where did you grow up? I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and attended both the University of Pennsylvania and La Salle University before going on to medical school. Hobbies? During undergraduate summers I sold art as it was one of my interests as well as playing golf. Like most Philadelphians I also enjoyed Ventnor growing up. What are your hopes and dreams for the future? My hope is to spend the rest my career practicing in South Philly as my patients have really added color and richness to my life. It’s been twenty years and continues to be a rewarding ride. I have admitting privileges and am on staff at both. Jefferson and Methodist hospitals. And I continue to make house calls. My staff and I welcome new patients to our office. Please give us a call if you would like to schedule an appointment: 215-334-2550

The Sludge Report

H

ARRY AND MEGHAN ALREADY QUARRELING – She winds up in tears as Harry refuses to drink her tea. “The damn woman uses tea bags!” Meghan promises to buy loose tea next time. The Queen reportedly warned Harry about marrying an American. “I told him. Marry that woman and you’ll be drinking WAWA’s coffee in the morning the rest of your life.” KIM CALLS OFF SUMMIT – The off-againon-again summit between Trump and Kim is apparently off again. High-level officials in both countries believe that Kim agreed to meet with Trump only so he could be the one to call off the meeting. Trump claims he called it off first. A summit may still be held if the two leaders can agree on which one called off the last two attempts to meet. CITY FINDS MISSING MILLIONS – Why was the City of Philadelphia reportedly unable to account for millions of missing dollars? Turns out it was merely a bookkeeping error. City Hall clerk Grace Massie admitted she inadvertently left a zero off an entry in the 2018 budget report. Massie claims she got a phone call from a former boyfriend and failed to add that all-important zero. “He’s taking me to PALM Saturday night,” she said excitedly, “and I got distracted.” Mayor Kenney added that there will be no disciplinary action, much to the annoyance of Councilman Allan Domb. “I spent a million dollars looking for the lost money and she gets to go to Palm?” he griped publicly. FACEBOOK BANS CASSEROLE RECIPES – CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that FACEBOOK will no longer accept recipes for casseroles. “It’s not so much that we hate casseroles,” said Zuckerberg in a prepared statement, “but that we found they were planted by KRAFT FOODS. “We contacted a woman by the name of Marie Reilly who supposedly had tried to post 6,000 recipes using KRAFT cheese. She denied she ever sent them,” Zuckerberg added. This reporter contacted Reilly who said, “I wouldn’t use that crap if they paid me.” She was obviously annoyed at her name being falsely associated with the FACEBOOK entries. A KRAFT spokesperson admitted that the company placed the false endorsements in an effort to boost sales. KRAFT’s grated parmesan cheese retails for about $44 per ounce in your local supermarket. WILDWOOD POLICE AGAIN UNDER FIRE – Wildwood police are again making news for an alleged incident on the beach at Schellinger Avenue. A video has gone viral showing two policemen applying a choke hold on an ice cream vendor. The police claim that the vendor called their officer a name (rhymes with crass mole) and intentionally let a FUDGESICLE melt on his spit-shined shoes. Both the Wildwood Mayor and Police Chief claim that once the public sees the entire video – and not just the graphic sight of the chokehold being applied, it will realize the police response was appropriate. NEW TRUMP CONTROVERSY OVER RE-

MARKS AT THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER – Outrage has been expressed by the usual nitpicking critics of the President after he claimed in a speech that the unknown soldier would be “very happy with America today.” Trump cited low unemployment figures under his Administration, saying that “The unknown soldier if he were alive today, would very likely be employed, even if he were black or Hispanic.” The President added that the Obama Administration was responsible for the unknown soldier not being known in the first place. AIRLINES ANNOUNCE INSTALLATION OF MORE COMFORTABLE SEATS – The nation’s airlines are installing new wider seats to fit the added bulk of first-class passengers. Americans, on the whole, have added two inches in the circumference of their bottoms in the last year alone, according to an airlines spokesperson. She admitted that the changes will mean that some coach passengers will have to sit on the wings of planes and hold on tightly. PHILLIES MANAGER OPTIMISTIC DESPITE HOSKINS SLUMP – Gabe Kapler finds reasons for hope in Rhys Hoskins’ continued slump. Hoskins has gone 1 for 35 and recently fractured his jaw while striking out. The outfielder is also battling a severe case of prickly heat in an unspecified area of his body. However, Kapler claims that he saw improvement in Hoskins approach at the plate before he got injured, adding, “Rhys is no longer praying to St. Anthony to find his lost swing.” Kapler will continue to hit Hoskins in the second spot when he returns and has recommended coconut oil for the outfielder’s prickly heat. Reporters covering the Phillies manager claim that his optimism never wavers. One reporter says that Kapler privately told him that there were some positives to be found in the sinking of the Titanic. BOYCOTTS REACH NEW HIGH – According to a recent Pew survey, boycotts of various companies and their products have reached an alltime high in America. Outrage on both the Left and Right of the political spectrum has fueled the rise of boycotts, according to the survey. Sometimes there are so many concurrent boycotts that the boycotters get confused. Some Trump supporters questioned whether they should boycott NFL games where players DON’T kneel or merely root against those players’ teams. There is also confusion on the Right whether a proposed boycott of NETFLIX should involve only Obama-produced shows or the entire company. “I like GRACE AND FRANKIE, but I close my eyes when Jane Fonda is on the screen. Is that okay?”

Solarize Philly speaks to LoMo on alternative energy perks Citywide campaign kicks off second phase By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

S

outh Philly is slowly solarizing. At its latest general meeting, the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association – or LoMo – hosted a presentation by the Philadelphia Energy Authority’s Solarize Philly campaign – a group-buying program striving to “make the process of installing solar as easy and affordable as possible.” In April, the campaign launched its second phase, as nearly 500 homeowners have already expressed interest in the energy-saving panels this time around. “How do we harness our collective buying power as homeowners to all go solar together to therefore drive the price of equipment down?” asked Ben Vila, Solarize Philly’s project coordinator. “And therefore, get more solar in our communities.” Although kicking off in 2010, Solarize Philly picked up momentum in 2016 after the Philadelphia Energy Campaign leveraged $1 billion toward energy efficiency and clean energy throughout the city over the next decade, which would also create 10,000 living wage jobs around the region. Along with fostering sustainability, the Solarize Philly’s mission is coupled with job cultivation. “Everything we do really is through that lens – firmly looking through energy as a tool for economic development

for the city,” Vila said. In April of last year, Solarize Philly launched its first phase in which $3 million was invested in 885 kW of rooftop solar energy. Nearly 2,200 signed up for the system and 186 signed contracts were made official. In 2017 alone, the city’s solar market grew by 46 percent – the fifth-largest growing market in the country, according to consumer centric source OhmHome. “There was a big untapped demand for solar in the city,” Vila said. Another major benefit, nearly 27 new jobs were directly made in the city since phase 1 – half of which went to minorities or women. Along the lines of career creation, the campaign concurrently conducts job training for Philadelphia students, partnering with School District Career and Technical Education for full training programs related to solar installation. One job is created for every 15 resident solar installations, according to Vila. In fact, solar panel installation is currently the fastest-growing occupation in U.S. with an expected 105 percent growth through 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of course, solar energy helps to satisfy environmental concerns, as well. In harnessing the sun’s immense light and heat, homeowners would simultaneously see decreases in electricity bills. “Not only are you drawing power from the grid, you’re pushing power

The Lower Moyamensing Civic Association recently hosted a presentation by the Philadelphia Energy Authority on affordable solar energy options for residents. back into the grid,” Vila said. Vila says monthly bills would simply be that net difference. Savings on electric bills average a couple hundred dollars a month. Depending upon roof size and the amount of energy used per month, prospective photovoltaic solar panels can cost between $10,000 and $20,000. Considering Solarize Philly centers on group buying, discounts are based on the number of contracts signed. The more people who sign up, the steeper the discounts. Based on outcome, each installer

will issue rebate checks to their customers at the end of phase 2, which is scheduled for July 21. Payments can be made through cash or a home equity loan, as buyers can receive 30 percent of their investment back with the federal investment tax credit through 2019. For this phase, Solarize Philly is piloting a financial plan, aiming to draw at least 45 homes. The requirements include no registration on PECO’s Customer Assistance Program and all PECO bills must have been paid on time and in full over the past year. Resi-

dents must have their name on the deed of the house, as well as a roof less than 5 years old. The “break even” rate for the system averages about eight to 10 years. LoMo residents expressed interest in the systems, inquiring about the panels’ durability with weather and their overall efficiencies over time. Most panels will last up to 30 years. As for the first 25, they will degrade no more than 10 percent of their year one efficiency, according to Matt Brill of Solar States – one of Solarize Philly’s installers. Brill also says the panels can withstand all weather, including up to 125 mph winds. They also act as a protectant for roofs. “It’s engineered to take all that nature can hit it with,” he said. Solarizing seems to spark a community effect, as Vila says the alternative energy is most concentrated in areas already acclimated to the system. “Tell your neighbors, because when you look at solar across the country, like how solar is spread and where does solar grow most – it’s where there is already solar,” Vila said. “You can really see the contagious effect of solar across the country.” For more information on Solarize Philly or how to invest in solar panels, contact the Philadelphia Energy Authority at (215) 686-4483, email solarize@philaenergy.org or visit http://solarizephilly.org.

TCY: The Choice is Yours program helps teen correct his course

<<Continued from page 1 It seemed like a nearly impossible feat to get his life back on track, but he decided to look into a program called The Choice is Yours, a 13-month prison diversionary program that offers nonviolent drug sellers a chance to avoid prison and a permanent felony by completing the program. The program is run by JEVS Human Services, which seeks to “strengthen communities by realizing their highest quality of life through the achievement of personal and vocational potential.”

Shaw enrolled in the TCY program and will complete it this summer. “TCY taught me how to learn and understand my values,” said Shaw. “I learned how to be more family oriented, better communication skills, I learned how to deliver, self discipline, and I learned how to leave things at the door.” According to TCY, the program, which is offered at no cost to the participant, costs $5,200 annually per participant while the annual cost of incarceration is approximately $41,000 per person. As a result, the program saves

taxpayers approximately $35,000 per person, per year. Kristen Rantanen, senior vice president Communications and Public Affairs at TCY, called Shaw a “superstar.” “He had a little bit of a rough start in the program,” said Rantanen. “He lost his brother soon after he entered the program last summer and that was a bit of a bump for him. But I think that it was also a wake up call for him. It really made him commit and focus on doing what he needed to do.” With the help of TCY, Shaw was

able to graduate this past Friday with his high school diploma. “I’ve been working so hard in my life to get to where I’m at right now,” Shaw said. “Now that I’m back where I should have been, it feels good. It’s an honor. I’m focused now. My focus is 10 times stronger. I’m more ambitious. My vision is not blurry anymore. I’m just ready to accomplish everything I need to accomplish.” On top of that, Shaw recently welcomed into the world his new baby daughter, Sevyn. “I’m going to be the best man for

my daughter I can be,” Shaw said. “I walked over from the program offices to City Hall with him and it was the most amazing experience because he had his cap and gown on, people were high-fiving him, congratulating him, a man stopped to shake his hand,” Rantanen told the Star at Shaw’s graduation. “And he’s got a little girl now, so his life is all in front of him and the sky’s the limit.” Shaw said that because he’s good with science and math, he hopes to become a civil engineer one day.

Fishadelphia club members at Mastery Charter School show off their best monkfish dishes as part of culinary spotlight By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

M

TOM BECK/South Philly Review

Students and customers of Mastery Charter School’s Thomas campus gathered in the school’s cafeteria for Fishadelphia’s inaugural Cook-Off event, in which customers and students prepared fresh monkfish for a prize.

embers from Mastery Charter School’s Fishadelphia club gathered in the school’s cafeteria Saturday afternoon for Fishadelphia’s inaugural Cook-Off event, in which customers and students prepared fresh monkfish for a prize. Additionally, side dishes, such as rice and potato salad, were provided and made by the school cooking club. The event featured three judges, Mastery Thomas English teacher Kelli Williams, Mastery Thomas 10th grader and Fishadelphia club member Charlisse Johnson and Fishadelphia customer Quan Blanche, who determined the winner of the best monkfish dish. The award went to Pennsport resident Erme Maula, who made a monkfish curry. Additionally, everyone in attendance was able to taste all the dishes and vote in the “People’s

Choice” category, which was won by Master Thomas math teacher Peter Ruggiero’s prosciutto-wrapped monkfish with chimichurri sauce. “We’ve invited friends and customers to prepare fish any way they want and compete for a prize,” said the program’s founder, Talia Young, who is also a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton University’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Fishadelphia is a new communitybased fishery program, which launched its pilot program in February. To date, it has helped dozens of Philadelphians in South Philly gain access to tasty fresh fish. Each week their customer base has increased. According to Young, the way the fish industry typically works is that fish farmers will sell the fish they catch to a fishing dock, which sells it to a wholesaler, who sells it to a retailer, which consumers purchase fish from.

REASSESMENTS: Residents voice property tax hike concerns

<<Continued from page 1 While appealing, homeowners pay only half of their tax bill. If residents are not satisfied with the result of their FLR reviews, the next step entails appealing to the Board of Revision of Taxes, in which they will meet with the board, the OPA and an attorney to present any documentation substantiating homeowners’ opinions on the actual value. Finally, the last report is appealing to the court of common pleas. While the FLR deadline has passed, homeowners have until Oct. 1 to appeal with the BRT. Noticing a series of inconsistencies, even within the same block, residents questioned the OPA’s methodology behind assessing properties, as a “uniformity argument” was a common point of discussion. According to the letter sent to residents, the OPA considers various factors, including size, age, location, condition and the sale of nearby properties. “If you live in this area, and you know that there’s been a demand for this location, and an increase in the number of people buying and it has affected the value – you will see an increase in all

of the property assessments, and that’s what’s been happening over the years,” Divine told attendees at the meeting. Since 2000, the 19146 Zip Code, which includes Southwest Center City, Pointe Breeze and Grays Ferry, saw a 404 percent increase in median home value, according to a recent study by RENTCafé. As of the end of April, the average home in 19145 area was worth $209,300, which is a 21 percent increase over the past year, according to data from Zillow, an online real estate database. Divine stressed the OPA is making “painstaking” efforts to not assess older properties like newer ones, as several residents noted they own homes that received little to no improvements, yet received values that were equal to or even above homes that underwent major renovations. Some residents even said they live next to abandoned properties and still saw massive increases on their own homes. Homeowners also inquired about how the city knows whether houses received internal and external improvements. Divine explained that, when houses undergo renovations, homeowners or

developers usually file for permits, which assessors receive on a weekly basis. The OPA also reviews sale records, as well. However, some people with renovations do not always apply for city permits. “When the evaluator discovers that there were renovations done, then they will react, Divine said. “If they did not get to that, then it’s just not on the books yet.” She says maintenance is not included in renovation evaluations. Residents questioned why sale prices do not necessarily align with assessments. But, under state law, the OPA follows a method to assess all properties at once, as it’s illegal to spot assess the sale of each home. An aggregate of five years of sales is used to assess. Along the lines of uniformity, the public also voiced concerns about how recently booming neighboring areas, such as Pointe Breeze, are heavily concentrated with the 10-year New Construction for Residential Properties abatements. However, lifelong residents are not affected by this advantage. “These abatements drive develop-

ment – people feel like they’re subsidizing new houses being built on the backs of long-term residents who always lived inside the neighborhood,” Johnson said to the attendees. He noted that Council recently held a meeting to reevaluate the tax abatements. “We’re generations. … We’re not just coming and going. This is where we’d like to be,” said resident Leighanne Savloff, who suffered a $287,300 assessment, more than doubling her 2018 market value of $141,800 She also questioned why mass appraisals are not performed incrementally every year, as, instead, homeowners were hit with a significant jump this year. Divine explained the OPA is considering performing blanket assessments on an annual basis to prevent such surges every few years. Relief programs were also discussed during the meeting, as the most common form is the Homestead Exemption, which reduces the taxable portion of property assessments by $30,000, averaging homeowners about $400 a year on their real estate tax bill. The only requirement is to own the property

and live in it as your primary residence. However, Council recently voted to raise the exemption to $40,000. Other relief programs include Longtime Owner Occupants Program – or LOOP – which is an abatement for homeowners who have had their property taxes triple over one year and have lived in their home for a decade or longer. But residents, despite the relief programs, say they’re still perturbed by the reasessments, feeling as though the mass appraisal has unjustly impacted South Philly. “At the end of the day, we can’t keep...balancing the votes and the budget of the city on the backs of the residents who’ve been here, who’ve always lived here,” Johnson said. “And so, that’s what we’re fighting for.” “This is just the start. This is just the beginning of what we’re doing. … You can’t keep going to the well all the time when you run out of money,” Della Barba said to SPR. “You can’t keep going back to the people that you think have it, because the well is dry. We can’t afford it anymore.”

<<Continued from page 10 delphia cuts out the middleman by purchasing the fish directly from the dock, which results in lower prices for consumers. The trade off however, is that Fishadelphia can only sell whichever fish is freshest from the dock, meaning that consumers won’t consistently get the same type of fish every delivery. “People were asking us what are we getting next time, and I’m like ‘I don’t know because we’re going to get whatever is freshest,’” said Young. “Being a wholesaler, you try to provide a consistent product to somebody. That’s not what we do. It allows us to buy really fresh products at low prices.” Fishadelphia is similar to the popular community-supported agriculture initiatives that provide people with fresh produce from local farmers. Fishadelphia’s goals are to promote affordable access to high-quality food in urban communities, while also supporting local fisheries at a time when the United States imports nearly 80 percent of its seafood, according to a press release for the program. “It both tastes better and the goal is to provide some basic economic developments to both ends,” Young added. “Fishermen make more money and it’s cheaper to buy it. We provide fresher fish at lower prices.” “When you think of seafood its normally like ‘oh crab, that’s a little expensive,’” said Charlisse Johnson, a Master Thomas 10th grader who is a member of the Fishadelphia club. “But we want them to think...that they can still get that food at a great quality while still being pretty cheap.” “I think the best thing about this club is that we are learning how to start a business,” said Fishadelphia club member and Mastery Thomas student Peter Chen. “Basically why I went here is that if my dream jobs don’t go as planned, I can learn to be an entrepreneur to be successful.” For more information about signing up for Fishadelphia, visit Fishadelphia.com. The cost is $20 per week for a whole fish and $24 for a fillet. Porgy, flounder, mackerel, dogfish, skate, clams, squid and crabs are a few of the different types of fish customers can expect to pick up. Customers pick up their bi-weekly fish deliveries on Thursday evenings between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m at Mastery Thomas.

America’s Team? To be Philly’s Team is the real prize

W

e’ve heard it a million times. The Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Team.� For some time, maybe, it was true. Dallas was a winning team, a Super Bowl-winning franchise and in the 1978 Dallas highlight film, narrator John Facenda dubbed the Cowboys as such: “They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team.� Times have changed. The Eagles are the Super Bowl champions and they’re all over national television in 2018. With young stars (quarterback Carson Wentz) and older standouts (Fletcher Cox, Malcolm Jenkins, etc), the Eagles are as recognizable as any team in the NFL. The head coach, Doug Pederson, is an “everyman� with the guts to call the “Philly Special� on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line in the Super Bowl. The Eagles are the underdogs. They

captured the Lombardi Trophy after a 57year wait for a championship. Doesn’t America love that kind of story? And so that leads to this question: Can the Eagles be America’s Team? “We just want to be Philly’s team,� tight end Zach Ertz said, laughing. “Eagles fans are the ones we care about.� Understood. But in these heady June days when anything in the NFL is possible, why not shoot for something a bit more, uh, prominent? Isn’t every NFL fan going to follow Wentz’s plight as he recovers from his knee injury? Wentz, already a star-in the-making in the court of public love after his widely

I

t was a pleasure to see the happy faces of students from the John H. Taggart School as they were introduced to exotic animals by the Barn Hill Preserve, (“Taggart students get visitor from Down Under,� May 30). Children, and especially city children, need this kind of real world experience to enlarge their concepts of places beyond their limited neighborhoods. I am especially pleased because Taggart School was my first teaching job after graduation in 1966. (I had already taught for five years in parochial schools as an undergraduate.) I remained at the school, where I taught various grades, for 21 years. One of my fondest and most memorable experiences at Taggart was being a cooperating teacher for the School District’s Middle School Latin program. Itinerant Latin teachers came to the classroom and actually introduced the students to real Latin dialogue and culture, as well as English derivatives. It was intended for grades four and five, but I managed to incorporate the Latin syllabus with my youngest students in first grade. We even did plays in Classical Latin – all while building vocabulary and an appreciation for ancient history, mythology and the arts. It was all gone within months of the state takeover. It is too bad that so much enrichment was lost once the SRC came along. Even educational animal programs, like the one at Taggart, have to wait until the testing season is over. Let’s just hope that, with a new school board in place, more reforms will bring authentic instruction, such as the one just presented at Taggart, to the district. Gloria C. Endres

shown ESPN video piece “Dutch Destroyer� aired, depicting the relationship he made with a young boy suffering from terminal cancer, is a humble, God-loving man who is a role model in every sense of the word. The team has a unique blend of personalities and inspiring stories to which every person can relate. How about making the Eagles fans part of the “America’s Team� theme? Has any group of fans suffered more than Eagles fans? All of those years of losing, followed by Dick Vermeil’s close-but-no-Trophy trip in 1980 and then the Andy Reid years of teasing in the 2000s when the Eagles reached the NFC Championship Game five times – including four seasons in a row – and played in Super Bowl XXXIX and never brought home the hardware? America can relate to that, right? Ah, it’s just silly dreaming. At the end of the day, Eagles center Jason Kelce got it right when he made his speech at the steps of the Philadelphia

Museum Of Art during the Parade of Champions four days after the Super Bowl victory. “Nobody likes us, everybody hates us and WE DON’T CARE,� Kelce said. He’s right. We don’t care.

odds last season, well, that’s on you. The Eagles are the Super Bowl champions, they’ve loaded up for another run in 2018 and the whole country is going to watch them. WE ALL WE GOT. WE ALL WE NEED. As long as the Eagles are Philadelphia’s team, that’s really all that matters at the end of the day.

n the third Thursday of every month, Ricardo Silva hosts a monthly language exchange event at select restaurants around Passyunk Square for native Spanish speakers to practice their English, and native English speakers to practice their Spanish. “The intention was to bring the communities together,� Silva said of the program, which started about five years ago. Each meeting attracts between 20 and 30 people and is free to attend. Attendees, however, may pay for food at the restaurants. Silva is one of two main organizers. The other is Jillian Gierke of the Garces Foundation, a nonprofit that describes itself as being “committed to ensuring that Philadelphia’s underserved immigrant community has access to health care and educational services.� The Garces Foundation sends many of its community members to the events to help them improve

their English skills. “It’s been a good interaction between neighbors and the Garces Foundation alumni,� Silva said. Silva stressed the language exchange events are not just for intermediate Spanish and English speakers, but also experienced and beginner speakers. At each meeting, attendees will introduce themselves and talk about things in the language they’d like to practice to gain experience. Attendees will often talk about topics such as where they live and work. “It’s good because it makes it a fun, engaging type of meeting� said Silva. “It’s pretty much for them to relax where people to practice.� The next language exchange event is set to take place on Thursday, June 21. A location for the event has yet to be determined, but those interested can follow the “Language Exchange� Facebook event page, which can be found in the “events� section of Passyunk Square Civic Association’s Facebook page. It will be the last language exchange event before the group takes its annual summer break. The events will resume in either September or October.
