Staying off track Without $50 million to back the resurgence of trolleys locally, SEPTA vows to keep talks open with residents about their potential return to the neighborhood. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
S
even years ago South Philly had two trackless trolley routes picking up and dropping off riders between Grays Ferry and Pennsport, but in 2003 they were switched to buses due to the need for new trolleys and several construction projects along the routes. The buses have remained, but residents haven’t backed off in requesting the trolleys’ return. SEPTA had promised to restore the trolleys to Route 29, which travels east on Morris Street and west on Tasker Street See TROLLEYS page 12

he internal makeup of Siobhan Allgood matches her external appearance flawlessly. The passionate chef immediately arrests one’s attention with her red mane, but her culinary flair sustains one’s interest and with much tastier results. Allgood used her skills to land a spot on season seven of “Hell’s Kitchen,” Fox’s reality cooking show that pits chefs against one another and the hypercritical persona of chef Gordon Ramsay. Although the resident of Broad and Wharton streets was eliminated in the June 29 episode — making her the eighth casualty
out of the group of 16 aspiring cooks vying for the executive chef job at Ramsay’s new restaurant at London’s Savoy Hotel — Allgood remains grateful of the opportunity. “The show picks people with a weird edginess to them,” Allgood, who had to send a video to New York to begin her selection process, said. “We were bound to clash, but I am thankful for the ride. I stayed true to myself, and I learned never to settle.” That attitude has blossomed since her brush with the brazen Brit and her castmates. “I wasn’t scared of chef Ramsay. He reminded me of my dance See ALLGOOD page 9

Word on the Street
What safety precautions should be taken in future to protect Ride the Ducks passengers? “They need to get rid of the ‘death net’ that the two passengers got stuck on and they need to take more security measurements. The barges need to be more cautious about smaller boats. They need to retrain, fire staff and think about hiring the National Guard.” Tobias Cummings, 2600 block of South Iseminger Street “I think as soon as you hit the water, life jackets should go on.” Kathleen Albano, 10th and Porter streets
“They should require inspections every year.” William Monaghan, 20th and Ritner streets
Island of the privileged To the Editor: Some people in our neighborhood believe they are living on an island of privilege, where they can have their cake and eat it too. They have a garage, but choose not to use it. Where do they park their car? On our sidewalks. These people force our children and our handicaps (I know every block has them, with the number of parking permits handed out to just about any liar) to cross or walk in the street, putting them in the line of fire with speeding tow trucks and lowriding Lexus driven by drug-dealing teenagers. You know who you are. After the construction was done, we lost a movie theater and somehow only gained a public nuisance — our blocked sidewalks. Your obnoxious disrespect is clogging up our neighborhood with inconvenience and obstructing the pedestrian right-of-way. If you have a garage use it. Give us our sidewalk back. Sandro Alighieri South Philadelphia
“I think they should try to fix the problem that caused the accident. They keep doing the same thing, so they need to take action to prevent the loss of life.” Raymond Morrero, Snyder Avenue and Juniper Street Interviews by Erica J. Minutella Photos by Greg Bezanis

Foul territory interference Open letter to the Phillies fan who interfered with the probable catch by Jayson Werth: If you were afraid the ball was going to hit your son in the head if you didn’t catch it, stay home and watch it on TV. If you truly are a Phillies fan and feared for your son’s safety, why not cover your son with your body and allow Werth to make the play? If you truly are a Phillies fan, you should have known the type of player Werth is, and would no doubt do everything he can to make the play. Neither Werth, or the Philadelphia Phillies, owes an apology to you, your son or the fans in that section. It is you who owes Werth, the Phillies and the fans an apology. By all means, feel free to interfere when it would affect the opposing team. Not our Phils! Chris Doyle South Philadelphia
Postal Service hikes To the Editor: I understand the price of a postage
stamp will be increased to 46 cents. [If approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, the price would be effective Jan. 2, 2011] The Post Office threatens to cut delivery by two days [Saturdays and Sundays] if not granted the increase. A similar scare tactic used by fear mongers like Mayor Nutter. I say, “let’s rock.” Cut delivery to only one day per week; net result: fewer days to open bills and junk mail. The price of a stamp should go way down and those executives who make those big decisions in the Post Office will be looking for a real job ... try McDonald’s. Carlo Gonnella South Philadelphia
Take it back To the Editor: It is one thing to govern a country but an entirely different thing to manipulate the land we used to call our own — “the land of the free.” Take a hard look again at who is now in complete control, has bought America and snatched it right out from under us. The figure heads, who were once looked up to, thought of with reverence and at one time the most respected, almost idealized leaders of the entire world, have sold their integrity, sincerity, honesty and their very soul for the money doled out to them under the guise of campaign contributions. In other words they will sell them the introducing and passing of any bill they need that serves their purpose, and the buck does not stop there! It is just as simple as you or me going to the store and plunking down the cost of a loaf of bread — you pay for it, you got it. What started out as lobbyists representing special interests and big businesses, mushroomed into the poisonous complete takeover of America and every faction of its government, secret backroom dealings that Americans are not in the least privy to or informed of and most of us pay not the least bit of attention to the criminal shenanigans and underhandedness, they know will go undetected and will ultimately cause the worse that could possibly happen. I don’t know when it will come, but those who refuse to eat cake, will finally reach a point where the taking back of our country will be the resort that is
the only one left to them — revolution. Our politicians are not the only ones capable of backroom secret deals. I believe there are many true Americans engaged in their own plans to thwart the criminal takeover of America and if not right now you can bet soon. Little by little there is a stirring of people in our nation waking up and seeing what is happening to the democracy. Many have died to preserve, but has been robbed skillfully from them. It was once the intent and purpose of the U.S. Supreme Court to study and rule on issues of law and interpret the Constitution, but it seems that now big business has reached them too, with the waning of God knows what, to favor them and their uncontrolled and unending needs to get what they want regardless of cost and the sullen debasement of a once illustrious and sacred body who’s purpose was never to make laws, that by now is a moot and very worrisome possibility, and pulling the wool over the eyes of all Americans. Somehow, someone or anyone must find the ways of despoilment and ruining of all of America’s principles and ideals, and bring back what they once meant. Our country is being ravaged and pillaged with not a cop in sight, so it is up to us to arrest and confine ourselves to our right to take back what has been stolen from us and the thieves who stole it punished. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

his year marks the third summer Guy Fieri is participating in Harrah’s Food and Wine event. I still remember attending his cooking demo a couple years ago at Bally’s in which he borrowed the video camera of a spectator sitting in the front row of the audience and he proceeded to film the crowd. He is once again one of the headliners at this year’s festival, headlining three events. The one that will be the most interest to Philadelphians is Guy Fieri’s Cheesesteak Battle taking place 7 to 10 p.m. July 30 inside the Caesars Palladium Ballroom. There will be another Guy sighting noon
to 2 p.m. July 31 at Phillips Seafood inside the Pier Shops at Caesars for his Big Bite Brunch. Later that afternoon, from 3-4 p.m., he’ll move over to the Circus Maximus Theater for “Chefs on Stage.� Visit www.harrahs.com/acfoodandwine for complete details. Guy recently took some time from his busy schedule to talk food, including what makes a good cheesesteak. Of the events you are participating in at this year’s Food and Wine Festival, which one are you looking forward to most and why? Guy: “The Cheesesteak Battle is going to be a battle royal, bringing together simple ingredients with enormous impact. The event is going to be the ultimate throwdown.� Philadelphia is considered the cheesesteak capital of the world. How much did that have to do with the planning of the Cheesesteak Battle? Guy: “You can’t make a good New York style pizza outside of New York, or good French bread outside of France. ... SPR

ur thoughts and prayers are with our Philadelphia tour guests, crew members and their families. We are attending to their needs first. In the interim, we have voluntarily suspended our Philadelphia Ride The Ducks operation. If you already have a reservation, you can receive a full refund or reschedule for a future date,” Ride the Ducks posted to its website. The two deaths included Hungarian tourists Dora Schwendtner, 16, and Szablcs Prem, 20. Both of their bodies were found Friday. According to published reports, Schwendtner’s was found near Pier 80 by Snyder Avenue while Prem’s was located after extracting the submerged boat that afternoon. The Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the deaths accidental drownings, according to Jeff Moran, the spokesman for the city’s Health Department. A 250-foot-long empty sludge barge, The Resource, towed by a 75.5-foot-long vessel, Caribbean Sea, collided with a Ride the Ducks boat carrying 35 passengers and two crewmembers at 2:36 p.m. July 7, according to the National Transportation Safety Board based in Washington D.C. According to published reports, both vessels were traveling northbound on the Delaware River when the Duck boat had a mechanical malfunction five to 10 minutes prior to the accident. The bow of the barge hit the stern of the Duck boat pushing it about 55 feet below the surface. In addition to the two deaths, 10 were injured. The crew of the Duck boat told investigators that they had made radio calls to Caribbean Sea, but did not receive a response. Other vessel operators on the river that day corroborated that story, according to the board. Mayor Michael Nutter held a private memorial service Saturday at the Independence Seaport Museum, 211 S. Columbus Blvd. “My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Duck Boat passengers and their loved ones, especially the families of those who perished in this tragic accident,” he said in a statement. “I am deeply saddened by this event and will continue to work closely with the National Transportation and
Safety Board and other local and regional agencies to stay on top of the situation. … I am working in coordination with the Hungarian Consulate and others to be sure that our guests and all those affected have everything they need during this incredibly difficult time, and to let them know we are here to assist in any way possible.”
Dad shot over bike A father was shot after recovering his son’s bicycle Monday from a teen who is believed to have stolen it earlier that day. Driving near Fifth and Moore streets at 4:25 p.m. with his 10-year-old son, a 38-year-old saw an unknown teen sitting on his son’s blue bike that had been stolen from outside their home, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man parked the car and approached the teen taking the bike without a struggle, Tolliver said. After placing the bike in the back of his van, the teen fired two shots from a small, black revolver striking the man once in the lower left side of his stomach. The suspect fled south on Fifth while the man drove himself to Methodist Hospital from where he was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition, Tolliver said. The teen was described as a black male with a light complexion, age 14, 5-foot7 to 5-foot-9, thin, with freckles on his face, short unruly black hair and wearing a white T-shirt and black warm-up pants with white stripes on the sides. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Philadelphia Sound arsonist pleads guilty A Whitman man pled guilty Tuesday to arson and related offenses after he set fire to the home of the Sound of Philadelphia. In addition to arson, Christopher Cimini, 27, of the 2700 block of South Fairhill Street, pled guilty to causing catastrophe, criminal trespassing, criminal mischief and failing to prevent catastrophe for the fire he ignited at Philadelphia International Records, 309 S. Broad St., on Feb. 21, according to court records. He also is expected to pay $11,000 in restitution, Phil
Police Report Asbury, attorney for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, said. “My view is that it’s the only choice the defendant had,” he said of the plea. About 40 percent of the memorabilia inside the building that housed some of Gamble and Huff’s more than 100 gold and platinum reChristopher cords and more than 70 No. 1 hits was damaged Crimini in the fire as was the studio where many hits were recorded. “The studio will never be the same … A lot of its popularity is derived from the fact that those great producers worked in that room,” Asbury said. “That’s now gone forever.” Cimini, who was believed to be intoxicated, set the building ablaze and had to be rescued from the third-floor by the fire department. He was transported to Jefferson Hospital for smoke inhalation and small lacerations and released. He turned himself in to East Detective Division three days later. Cimini will be sentenced Sept. 10. The maximum sentence would be close to 60 years, which would be too harsh while the minimum sentence of two or three years would be too light, Asbury said.
Dead at the scene
Killed on own street
Chased for Jersey carjacking A man wanted for a South Jersey carjacking was arrested near Packer Park Saturday morning. The Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) witnessed a gray 1997 Toyota with New Jersey tags — that was wanted for Stratford, N.J. carjacking on Friday — traveling toward the city via the Ben Franklin Bridge at 9:54 a.m., but lost the vehicle near Fifth and Green streets in Center City, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. About 20 minutes later, the DRPA saw the vehicle once again headed back to New Jersey via the Walt Whitman Bridge, Tolliver said. When the DRPA switched on the vehicle’s lights and siren, the driver — Courtney McDade, 30, of Barrington, N.J. — allegedly made a U-turn crossing the median into the westbound lane. DRPA pursued the vehicle to Broad Street when the Philadelphia Police Department took over to follow the Toyota, that turned South on Broad and tried to turn left on Packer Avenue, but instead allegedly struck Ford F-150 pickup truck stopped at the red light. McDade, who is believed to have matched the description of the man wanted for the carjacking, was transported to Methodist Hospital for minor injuries while the 84-year-old driver of the truck suffered a minor abrasion on his forearm, continued on page 10

A teen was shot as he and his friends were leaving a Whitman restaurant Saturday night. The group was walking home from Ruby Buffet, 1100 S. Columbus Blvd., when they heard gunshots on the 1100 block of South Third Street at 11:40 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The 13-year-old ran, but was struck once in his buttock and called police with his cell phone. A witness had told him a man drove by and shot at him, Tolliver said. He was transported to CHOP by medic. Ballistic evidence was recovered at the scene, Tolliver said. Three parked cars also had been hit by gunfire including the rear window of a silver 2008 Saturn, the trunk of a red ’06 Kia and the rear panel of a black ’02 Infiniti. The suspect was described as white, thin and wearing a white T-shirt and fitted baseball cap worn sideways. He was driving a gray or black Audi.

Despite an ominous number, a bill will allow for the creation of a new terminal on the Delaware River. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
O
ne hopes state Sen. Larry Farnese Jr. is not superstitious about numbers. Otherwise, he probably would have doubted the likelihood that Pennsylvania lawmakers would pass House Bill 666. The last three weeks have sunk any worries Farnese, in his first term representing the 1st District, may have had. Within those weeks, the state Senate, House of Representatives and Gov. Ed Rendell have approved the plans of Farnese and state Rep. William Keller to build the Southport Marine Terminal, a 239-acre terminal that would enable South Philadelphia to improve Pennsylvania’s global status in cargo movement. The facility, to rest south of the Walt Whitman Bridge, will bring hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs to the city, Farnese said. “Highly-skilled workers — longshoremen, truck drivers and crane operators — will benefit greatly,” he said. “They will be able to find and keep family-sustaining jobs. Construction jobs alone will be huge.” It greenlights a project that struggled to gain the backing of Rendell in 2008. He vetoed legislation by Keller, who had claimed that the Navy Yard lacked authority to deed to the city formerly submerged land, or riparian, properties when the giving over of the entire base happened more than a decade ago. Farnese’s June amendment authorizes the transfer of 180 acres of land at the Navy Yard from the city to the state and involves only formerly submerged land. Rendell and Mayor Michael Nutter forged an agreement allowing the city to retain legal title at the Navy Yard and deeding the 180 acres to the state. The House bill met with unanimous approval in the Senate June 22 and in the House the next day. Rendell signed Act No. 38, the amended version of the bill, July 2. His decision grants 142 acres of land and 38 acres of water to the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority to construct the terminal. With an estimated price tag of $450 million, the terminal’s full 239 acres will comprise territory in Piers 122 and 124. Though the piers are next to and just south of the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, Colum-
Action on the Delaware River will soon include shipments into a new terminal, courtesy of the efforts of local politicians. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
bus Boulevard at Packer Avenue, Farnese noted port officials expect the locations of the first two ship berths to be south of the piers. Their placement would distinguish the terminals but help Philadelphia’s shipping reputation nonetheless. “Shipping has become a more global business than ever,” he said. The Packer Avenue site specializes in handling containers, steel products, frozen meat, fruit, project and heavy lift cargoes and paper. The Southport location could receive cars, solar panels and electronic devices, according to Cathie Abookire, director of communications for Farnese. “I have two goals with this project,” Farnese, who joined Keller’s cause upon entering office in January ’09, said. “One is upholding the integrity of the folks who’ve worked on the waterfront, and two is turning this area into an elite shipping destination.” FARNESE’S AWARENESS OF the mentality of Philadelphia’s workers means his first goal should be a cinch. Geography may help his latter goal. The terminal will have proximity to I-95 and three prominent railroad carriers, Ca-
nadian Pacific Highway, CSX and Norfolk Southern. “The last big project, in my opinion, that Philadelphia involved itself in was the [Pennsylvania] Convention Center [1101 Arch St.]. Well, in terms of significance, this dwarfs the Convention Center,” Farnese said. “This will make the ports a destination for economic development and bring jobs to grow neighborhoods.” The recent three-week windfall has stemmed from the tireless efforts of Farnese, Keller and the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (PAID), which is a division of the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corp. Most of the city’s bigger development projects go through PIDC. The signing by Rendell, who has promised $25 million in state aid for site preparation,is the latest shot in the arm for Southport. The unveiling of the project occurred in March ’09. Movement on actualizing Farnese and Keller’s brainchild became more concrete May 12, when the state issued a solicitation for bid proposals. A May 20 webinar allowed contractors, terminal operators and representatives from investment banks and
shipping companies to learn more and to plot their pitches. Interested parties have until 10 a.m. Monday to submit technical concept proposals. The Pennsylvania Department of General Services, who through the bill are responsible for granting and conveying the lands in the 39th Ward, will then help to narrow the bid teams to three or four, possibly naming a preferred bidder in September. “This facility could help Philadelphia to rival Hong Kong,” Farnese said. Many new ships often demand more than 50 feet of clearance, and Delaware and New Jersey authorities and environmental groups oppose any deepening. Farnese remains unphased. “Philadelphia faces competition from New York, Wilmington, Baltimore and, surprisingly, ports across the country. It doesn’t make any sense not to dredge and not to do the Southport project,” he said. “This terminal can catapult Philadelphia; it means j-o-b-s.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ALLGOOD continued from page 1 instructors, loud but overall just trying to get the best out of me,” Allgood said of the restaurateur, who referred to the budding chef as a “donkey” on her elimination night. The 27-year-old hails from Rockledge, a borough in Montgomery County, but identifies most with South Philadelphia. “South Philadelphia has such a family vibe to it; everyone is laid back,” Allgood said during last week’s interview in the Italian Market. Count her and husband Joel Janka among the relaxed residents. “We love it here," Allgood said of the couple, who are preparing for their first wedding anniversary in September. “This is such an honest and raw place.” NO DEFINITION OF “raw” would ever apply to either Allgood’s talent or her dishes. Ballet first appealed to the 2005 La Salle University graduate, who began dancing at age 2. Her skills led to appearances with the Pennsylvania Ballet, the Metropolitan Ballet and the Russian Moscow Ballet. But it was her grandparents who influenced her desire to cook, as her grandfather owned a Northeast Philadelphia-based
butcher shop. Graduating with a degree in psychology and minors in animal science, history and Spanish, she turned her attention to a career in cuisine. “I don’t dance anymore,” Allgood said. “I have two bad hips.” She has capable hands, however. Those hands garnered the interest of “Hell’s Kitchen” producers after having had the exact effect on, among others, the proprietors of Prado, a San Diego establishment; the owners of McKenna’s Irish Pub, 795 N. 24th St.; and the higher-ups at the esteemed Table 31, 1701 John F. Kennedy Blvd. At McKenna’s, Allgood served as executive chef, but she credits her ’09 stint at Table 31 — where she worked with local star chefs Georges Perrier and Chris Scarduzio — for strengthening her attraction to Italian cooking, something in which most South Philadelphians are well-versed. Other loves include Mexican and Asian cuisines. “Table 31 allowed me to fuse my cooking interests,” Allgood said. In addition to her former life as a dancer, Allgood also worked as a veterinary technician with Queen Village Animal Hospital, 323 Bainbridge St. That vocation may have prepared her for the often circus-like nature of “Hell’s Kitchen.” Away from Ramsay’s version of tough
continued on next page
love, she can now concentrate on applying the gentle yet passionate love she has for cooking. Since March she has been running “It’s Allgood,” her private chef and consulting business. “I had the interest before I started at McKenna’s [June ’08]. My consulting works kind of like [Fox reality show] ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ but without the shouting,” she said of another Ramsay project where he attempts to save floundering eateries. “I try to help people to find simple and easy ways to create food without going crazy.” Her psychology background helps her to gauge clients’ needs and keeps her motivated to strive. She has given cooking demonstrations and catered numerous events, including one Saturday in Brigantine, N.J. for military personnel who have developed post-traumatic stress disorder following time in Iraq and Afghanistan. “‘Hell’s Kitchen’ taught me about the competitive nature of cooking, but, overall, cooking is about passion,” Allgood said. She plans to market her passion with a cookbook that will include 50 recipes for meat and fish dishes, side items, salsas, salads and soups. The entries will come from the 80 that she has in her repertoire. She considers her specialty ahi tuna wrapped in mint leaves served over purple
jasmine rice and an exotic island salsa. Local and global recognition have begun to reach her, too. “I’ve received phone calls from across the United States and Canada, and a fan from Germany sent me something,” she said. “[Two weeks ago] someone at Lowe’s stopped me. It’s all kind of exciting.” So is Allgood’s potential role in South Philadelphia’s restaurant scene. “South Philly already has great places; it’s just amazing,” Allgood, who frequents the Italian Market for meat, fish, herbs, cheeses and bread, said. “I think it’s going to pop soon. I think it and I are just getting our feet wet.” Her choice of metaphor matches another passion she has, whitewater rafting. She has convinced her husband to do a trial run, and they are seeking to test all of the world’s Class Five rivers, the second most difficult class of rivers or rapids through which to navigate. Their September anniversary might have them sampling Virginia’s waters. “The show reminded me that it’s OK to turn stuff down, but I can’t turn down the challenge of those rivers,” she said.

Appealing Fumo, Arnao sentences In a 268-page brief, Robert A. Zauzmer and John J. Pease, the Assistant U.S. District Attorneys who prosecuted former Sen. Vince Fumo and ex-Executive Director of Citizens’ Alliance for Better Neighborhoods Ruth Arnao, appealed the sentences of the pair who was sentenced in July of 55 months and one year and one day, respectively, noting the crimes committed and the miscalculations made in their sentencing. The court did not adhere to sentencing guidelines, which the Probation Office calculated at 262 to 327 months for Fumo and 108 to 135 months for Arnao, according to the brief. The court calculated 121 to 151 and 70 to 87 months, respectively, but due to Fumo’s public service, U.S. District Judge Ronald L. Buckwalter lowered the suggested sentencing with a downward departure. That sentence along with Arnao’s resulted
in “an unprecedented storm of public outrage,” according to the brief. “The sentences rested on numerous procedural errors made by the district court, which miscalculated the applicable guideline ranges, declined to consider the guideline range in sentencing Fumo, did not state any justification for a huge sentencing variance granted to Arnao, and failed to address or resolve numerous arguments made by the government for more substantial and appropriate sentences,” according to the brief. The government is seeking an upward variance for Fumo’s sentencing based on losses not included in sentencing calculation, the loss of confidence in public officers and the reputation loss by Citizens’ Alliance and the Independence Seaport Museum that Fumo defrauded, his perjury at trial and the nature of the offenses he committed. They are asking the court to vacate both sentences and restitution, and re-sentence both individuals, according to the brief. “…the lenient sentence created a disparity with sentences imposed on similarly situated offenders, and that its sentence undermined deterrence and respect for the law,” according to the brief.

TROLLEYS continued from page 1 between 33rd Street and Pier 70, and Route 79, which travels both east and west on Snyder Avenue from 29th Street to Columbus Boulevard, according to Susan Patrone, a former president of Passyunk Square Civic Association, who has led the fight, but after four years of meeting with the transit agency, it has yet to happen. “They keep coming up with lame excuses,” Patrone, of 13th and Tasker streets, said noting examples such as legislation, operation and financial issues. “It would cost them a little more money, but the trackless trolleys have a much larger lifespan than even the hybrid diesel buses.” To get the trolleys back on track in South Philly is more than just maintenance on the existing wires, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch said. It carries a price tag of more than $50 million, which SEPTA does not have with a 25 percent cut to its capital budget due to less state funding this year that has already halted planned renovations to the City Hall station and upgrading its payment system. “We would need an additional 23 trackless trolleys to make the 29 and 79 exclusive for trackless trolleys,” he said. “That alone would cost over $20 million. We would essentially have to build a new — the electric substation is there. We would essentially have to build a new one.” Not included in the cost is the extended service to Pier 70 for Route 29, which occurred after the switch to buses. “If the 29 went back [to a trolley], we wouldn’t be able to run a trackless trolley into that shopping center. At a minimum, it would require a whole new set of lines and infrastructure that would take us up to a higher price tag,” Busch said, noting addition difficulties such as crossing wires over private property. Trolley service was reinstated in ’08 for three routes — 59, 66 and 75 in Northeast Philadelphia, after being suspended in ’03. “Originally, the specifics for the contract did include all five lines and then somewhere down the line the two in South Philly were quietly dropped,” Anthony Santaniello, co-founder of the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association, said. But the wait continues in order to improve the neighborhood’s quality of life, Patrone said. “When I say, ‘quality of life,’ [it’s not,] ‘oh, we’re here because we don’t like buses,’” she said. “It’s called the environmental impact is really the basis for this and the quality of life ripples out from that.” “There’s a more comfortable ride for passengers and there’s less noise for all the people that live along the routes,” Santaniello added on the trolleys. “It’s a lighter vehicle, so there’s less wear and tear on road and less rumbling of houses.”
Trolley wires are still intact along Snyder Avenue’s Route 79, as well as on Tasker and Morris streets where Route 29 travels. However, SEPTA has no immediate plans to substitute the trolleys for the buses.
S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
ABOUT TWO YEARS ago, SEPTA purchased 38 trackless trolleys for the Northeast routes after a project yielded the funds to do so, Busch said. “As with a lot of things, it’s a funding issue and a money issue,” he said. “In the Northeast, the infrastructure that is needed to run the trackless trolleys from everything — from the power supply, the substations that power them, the electric power to the overhead lines — that was either new lines or facilities built as an overhaul to the Frankford Transportation Center.” The trolleys were paid for with extra funding from the $43 million project for which $35 million was provided by the federal government. “If we didn’t restore the trackless trolleys, we may have had to have pay back the federal government,” Busch said. Locally, aside from Passyunk Square, East Passyunk Crossing Civic, Lower Moyamensing Civic, Newbold Neighbors Civic, Newbold South Civic, South Broad Street Neighbors and West Passyunk Point Neighborhood associations along with Point Breeze Community Development Corp. have joined Patrone in her mission. Together they form the Central South Philadelphia Civic Association Alliance. She has even garnered support from many local politicians including state Sen. Larry Farnese, whose Chief of Staff Tony Mannino has taken an interest in the issue. “I think we’d like to see a very detailed analysis on how we might be able to make this happen before we take the step of, ‘no,
we can’t do it,’” he said. While mass transit across Pennsylvania has taken a hit due to cuts at the state level, trackless trolleys returning to South Philly are part of the issue, Mannino said. “Cities across the country are spending millions to built that infrastructure. … I think it would be a shame to abandon a huge piece of infrastructure that’s already largely intact,” he said. Money issues aside, SEPTA has found buses operate better on the streets of South Philadelphia whereas trolleys are best for hillier neighborhoods, Busch said. “Even though the trackless trolleys have the ability to get off the wire and function like a bus, it’s pretty limited,” he said noting a maximum of one mile off the wire to avoid damage to the trolley. “… With as tight as the operating area is in South Philly, in a lot of ways it makes sense to have those routes on buses.” But Patrone disagrees. Buses are just not ideal for the high-density South Philly neighborhoods, she said. “I just don’t think they get it — that we’re real neighborhood and when they treat you like a bus route, they’re treating you like a highway,” Patrone said. “We’re at the point where we’re redefining ourselves as neighborhoods and not highways.” Trying to keep the means of transportation green even without trolleys, SEPTA added hybrid buses upon purchasing them in ’08 to South Philly routes first including Route 29 that serves 5,500 and Route 79 that carries 6,200 passengers daily, Busch
said. By the end of next year, its hybrid fleet will be more than 450 buses citywide. “We do understand the preference for the trackless trolley,” he said. “We do feel like we’re doing what we can to make the operation down there — in South Philly particularly — as green and environmentally-friendly as possible.” Patrone does not know what needs to be done for SEPTA to be responsive to the community’s wants calling SEPTA’s unwillingness to waver “malevolent neglect.” “What they’re doing I think is basically they are a little at a time abandoning their infrastructure,” she said. “They just keep stalling and talking and now people get used to buses and forget about trolleys.” But SEPTA is willing to keep talks going, Busch said, but financial restraints will keep buses on the roads until further notice. “We’re definitely open to continue discussions with the city and various stakeholders — associations and people of South Philly — in terms of whether it would be appropriate to be running trackless trolleys, but as of right now, it isn’t. … Right now basically even if the SEPTA board would approve it, the money wouldn’t be there for it anyway,” he said.

ICE CREAM FESTIVAL
Local funnyman David Terruso started a sketch comedy festival that is gaining speed — and support — as it approaches its third installment this fall. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
C

southphillyreview . c o m
hicago may hold the current title of the improv center of America, but David Terruso is looking to bring Philadelphia to national prominence. “[Improv] is really a grassroots thing and trying to connect with the people. This can take off and this can be like Chicago,” Terruso, of 17th Street and Oregon Avenue, said. “We want to do that here, have people think of that the same way they would think of going to a bar on a Friday night. We want it to be on their calendar as something to do.” As co-founder and co-producer of Philly Sketchfest, a weeklong, annual event celebrating and promoting the art of improv, Terruso is constantly looking for ways to spark people’s interest in his art. This year — it’s third — Philly Sketchfest will be a part of the newly minted “Comedy Month,” taking place in November. “[Sketchfest] will be one week in the three-week event [Comedy Month] — that’s what we are calling a month and I know a month has four weeks, but — we’re calling it a month. I kept bringing it up when we were coming up with a name,” the 31-year-old said. To raise funds for the upcoming November debauchery, which will be sandwiched between the opening week of Philly Improv Fest and the closing week of Philadelphia Joke Initiative, the third member of the Comedy Collective, Philly Sketchfest, is putting together a July 28 show at Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Samson St. “The show is to raise money to have funds for the fest, which is in NoStaff photo by Greg Bezanis
Lifestyles vember — a sketch comedy festival mainly devoted to sketch and to make that branch of comedy more focused in the city,” Terruso, who is one-half of Animosity Pierre, a sketch group with Matt Lally, said. “The city has a real home for stand-up and it’s mainly what people know to go to in the city. We want to make other areas like improv and sketch become more prominent.” The July 28 lineup will feature Animosity Pierre, Chris & Paul and Emily & Micah McGraw — all groups that will be featured at Sketchfest. The night costs $12 for general admission or $17 for reserved and will be hosted by Carolyn Busa. Half the night’s proceeds will be given to Sketchfest. “We do sketches and musical comedy. I play guitar and piano and I play the drums,” Terruso said. “[Matt and I] have been together about five-and-a-half years, since November 2005. We’ve been performing around the city and done national comedy festivals.” As one of about three groups performing sketch comedy in Philadelphia when they formed, Animosity Pierre — composed of Terruso, Lally and manager Ben Maher — is happy to report the upcoming installment of Sketchfest boasts approximately 15 groups. “In the past it was invitation-only. The first year it was all Philadelphia groups, eight; last year included groups from New
York that we had met,” Terruso, who approximates there are 25 distinct Philadelphia sketch groups, said. “It is a very small festival, so we have to be a mix of originality and stage presence and preparedness. Like if you have sound cues or lighting cues, they should be typed up — that is the level of professionalism of what we do.” The blossoming of Sketchfest is likely a reflection of a growing base of groups in Philadelphia — and Terruso is happy to be riding the wave he helped create. “I really like [South Philly], we know there is a lot of talent here,” Terruso said. “You could go to LA or New York, but we, the two of us — me, especially — my family is here and I don’t ever see myself moving far away. I am more interested in building the scene here. “There is no reason why it shouldn’t be a major place to go for sketch comedy.” Terruso lived at 10th Street and Snyder Avenue and attended Epiphany of Our Lord, 13th and Jackson streets, before moving on to high school at St. John Neumann, formerly at 2600 Moore St. The avid writer attended La Salle University, where he continued his work as a creative writing major. “Senior year I did my first show. A friend of mine asked me to try out. He gave me a
little part in his show,” Terruso, who graduated in ’01, said. “I realized I enjoyed performance as much as writing. Sketch is the perfect combination: Writing I get to use all the skills I have and then Matt and I co-direct. I get to make the props and the music and sing on stage.” Starting out as a quintet with members of La Salle’s comedy troupe, Improv 101, Animosity Pierre dwindled as members moved away and became the duo of Terruso and Lally. “It’s really hard form a writing standpoint to really mix it up [with two people] and we didn’t want it to be a bunch of skits, so we started writing monologues more often. We try to do longer skits and quick interludes and music so you get this sort of tapestry and it doesn’t get boring,” he said. Working as an editor in a Conshohockenbased manual publisher by day, Terruso gets to let the creative energy flow at night. “It’s a very technical, boring day job. Then at night I sort of explode into as many creative things as possible,” Terruso, who says he wrote his first novel at age 10, said. “I like to have as many pots boiling at one time as I can.” The “pots” currently hitting a boil include novel writing, screenplay writing and coming up with as many as 80 minutes of new material for each new show.
The duo loves the spotlight and a TV show would be the ideal endpoint for Terruso’s creative aspirations. “Ideally I’d love to do [writing and performing]. If I had to choose one, I’d choose writing … I wouldn’t want to give up the performing. I have this natural need for the spotlight. I think the two compliment each other: When I can perform something I’ve written I can give it specific emotion because it came from me,” Terruso, who recently performed in the Chicago and San Francisco sketch comedy festivals, said. The current focus is on gaining speed for the upcoming comedy blowout in November. After July 28 at Helium, another promotion is in the works where the winner of an open-call sketch night wins a spot in Philly Sketchfest 2010. With personal successes continuing to build and growth in the Philadelphia market, Terruso finds himself right where he belongs. “We will have 15 groups in the festival. That’s exciting to me that there are so many different pockets of this going around,” Terruso said. “The more the scene builds, the more the talent comes out of the woodwork.” SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news/ lifestyles.

‘Apprentice’ needs some hocus-pocus
Cardella
By Tom Cardella
War
E
Columnist
verybody seems to agree that war is a terrible thing. But some are willing to justify it too easily. Others too readily support it once we’re in. No matter how bad a decision is to go to war, there will always be those that view being there justification in itself for continuing it until we “win.” How often have we heard that we must fight to the finish so that those who have died will not have died in vain? The proposition that more soldiers must die for a lost cause in order to validate the sacrifice of those who have already died, is not only stupid; it is outrageously illogical. I admit that these are the thoughts that went through my head the other day as I once again watched Oliver Stone’s film “Platoon.” Some Vietnam veterans that I once interviewed told me that “Platoon” came the closest of any film of capturing their experiences in that war. Take the time to read Karl Marlantes’ novel “Matterhorn” and then pop “Platoon” into your DVD player. It might not make you anti-war, but it should help you understand why we ought to be more careful before deciding to send troops into war. We ought to make damn sure of what we’re doing. We shouldn’t send Americans off to die for a flawed domino theory as we did in Vietnam. We shouldn’t send Americans off to die without making sure there are really weapons of mass destruction as we did in Iraq. And after nearly nine years in Afghanistan, we should have figured out by now that alQaeda and Osama bin Laden are no longer there, and Hamid Karzai isn’t worth one single drop of American blood. Most of us have never experienced war. We never had to put our lives on the line for a cause we didn’t understand. We never had to stand helplessly by while a friend bled out in some jungle or forlorn hill. I spent a joke six-month tour in the Air Force Reserves back in the early ’60s while the poor kids who couldn’t get a draft deferment were dying in Vietnam. Perhaps I carry around that guilt. Perhaps it is right that myself and others like me should. Today there is no draft and consequently there are no protests in the street. The wars are fought by the same kind of poor kids who went into the service because they couldn’t find a job, and that same core of
patriotic warriors who still believe in duty and country. The rest of us think we are sacrificing when a gallon of gas goes up 20 cents. I was thinking about how men and women view war differently. Most men who have not served still think of war as a good action film where the good guys win in the end. They don’t search for deeper truths. Most women don’t think much about war unless it involves their own kids. They will tell you they don’t read war novels or watch war films because they don’t like violence. They view war as man’s folly, part of his nature like watching football on weekends. It is kind of the way some males like me view the painful part of childbirth, like something women do, something we weren’t meant to understand. Sometimes I get disgusted with myself. My history (and it can be seen in some of my columns) has been to reflexively support our wars, whether it be Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq. In each and every case, I found that I was wrong, that I accepted the rationale for war too easily. During Vietnam, it took the deaths of thousands of our soldiers and countless civilian casualties and the realization that the CIA had participated in a coup that resulted in the murder of President Ngo Dinh Diem before I cried, “enough.” It was only after the story was revealed that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before I concluded that we had no business invading a country that had not harmed us. I once thought our war in Afghanistan was the right war. And at one time it was. But al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden have fled to Pakistan. Once again we are propping up an unpopular and corrupt government. We kill more civilians with our drones than we do terrorists. We can’t win the hearts and minds of the citizens because they know that one day we will be gone and the Taliban will still be there. Once again history is repeating itself. We have lost our rationale for a war, but can’t seem to find a way out. The Obama Administration is already fudging its deadline of July 2011 to withdraw forces from Afghanistan. The President says that if we leave too soon, al-Qaeda will reestablish terrorist bases. But what is too soon? This is the longest war in our history. To paraphrase the president, if not July 2011, when? SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.
Balthazar (Nicolas Cage), right, chooses Dave (Jay Baruchel) as his apprentice to help defeat the evil Horvath (Alfred Molina), left.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
N
ever mind that Disney blatantly pats itself on the back with “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” flashing “Toy Story” props, tapping Nicolas Cage and director Jon Turtletaub to conjure up some “National Treasure”-sized box office, and building the whole movie around the centerpiece of a certain animated musical from the Walt vault. Never mind that the lead star, Jay Baruchel, comes off as an awkward hybrid of Screech Powers and McLovin with bad timing and a sinus infection. Never mind that even for a fantasy, the film defies logic. The real turn-off here is “Apprentice” hasn’t the slightest notion of nuance. Beginning with a prologue that hoses you down with backstory, the script — credited to a whopping five people — is only interested in hustling the plot forward. No sooner do we meet 10-yearold misfit Dave than he stumbles into the New York hideout of Balthazar (Cage), a centuries-old sorcerer who within minutes declares Dave the chosen one he’s been searching for to combat the evil Horvath (Alfred Molina). Leap ahead a decade, and grown-up Dave (Baruchel) is given a required hottie love interest (Teresa Palmer), a gig as Balthazar’s pupil and a mission to save the world, but still only one dimension. Characterization? Emotional investment? Who has time for that? The boorishness with which the movie lunges from point to point is without limit or shame, and to make room for yet more story steamrolling, some scenes are even cut while still in progress. There’s no complexity in a single conflict, and the
rescue-at-the-last-minute card is pulled more times than a rabbit from a magician’s hat. The few enjoyments to be had include the wizards’ use of Manhattan as a spellcasting playground, and Cage, who slips some actual acting in between the familiar old-world-meets-contemporary-pop-culture lines and uses his outsized Cage-isms for good instead of evil. But there’s no getting past the sheer flatness of “Apprentice,” which is so busy barreling toward the next effects-filled development, it forgets to create any real magic.

ith the Fourth of July just recently passed, the three colors still on people’s minds are red, white and blue. What better way to be tri-color creative than by making a dessert featuring strawberries, blueberries and Cool Whip? Christina Maiellano of the 2500 block of South 10th Street recommends whipping up her Layered Blue Strawberry Tart that is sweet, healthy and appealing to the eye. Call it her sweet ending to a hot summer night. SPR
Chrissie’s Layered Blue Strawberry Tart INGREDIENTS:
5 packages of angel food cake shells 1 large container of blueberries 2 bags of fresh or frozen strawberries 2 containers of Cool Whip hip or two cans of Reddi-wip
Two sweet to pass up

The HeadHouse By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
A
h, summer in the city. It’s a steamy muggy Friday night and the forces are out on South Street. Tourists and teens are strolling the brightly-lit thoroughfare while Philly’s finest are keeping the peace on bicycles and gathering in groups of four on every corner. I have not been to South Street in what appears to be eons, but it was the way my friend Jim and I traveled to The HeadHouse, a new craft beer café at Second and Lombard streets. HeadHouse is housed in the former Zot, a fine Belgian restaurant that just did not make it. It is owned by Beatrice and Bruce Nichols who have been in the catering business for a long time. I looked forward to a tasty pub dinner. Jim and I arrived around 5:30 p.m. I sipped a small but nicely stirred martini ($12) while Jim perused the huge list of beers. He sipped a Steamworks Engineer lager ($6) as we discussed the menu. The décor is calm and soothing with rooms done up in shades of creamy yellow and green. Big, beautiful black and white photos of glassware adorn the walls. Tables and chairs are simple black wood. You get a linen napkin. Music courtesy of Pandora was playing on the sound system, and the soothing sounds made our evening most pleasant. Since we arrived during happy hour, all appetizers were 25 percent off. The satay plate ($7.50) was a first for Jim. There were four skewers threaded with tender

beef and chicken. We especially enjoyed the creamy peanut sauce and cool cucumber sticks that accompanied this starter. At one point, I wrapped the beef in a lettuce leaf, topped it with peanut sauce and snarfed it immediately. The spicy pork carnitas ($7) were so outrageously delicious we should have ordered more. Two tortilla shells were filled with tender strands of spiced-just-right pork bathed in a slightly spicy sauce. Shrimp porcupines ($8) were prepared with chopped shrimp mixed with creamy crumbs coated in bits of vermicelli and fried to a golden brown. The order was most generous; Jim, who is a financial advisor, and I could not finish them. We liked the creamy dipping sauce as well. Fontina fritters ($7.50) were made with shredded Fontina from Italy. They were coated with crumbs and quickly fried. Both fried dishes were free of grease. Fried cheese is popular in Italy. This treat is usually prepared with freshly grated Parmesan, but I like the natural nuttiness of Fontina. Jim opted for a burger ($12) which was hefty. It was served on what our charming waitress described as a focaccia-like soft bun that tasted homemade. He likes his burgers medium-well while I prefer them rare. Lettuce, tomato and onion came with the patty along with a mound of hot and crispy fries. They were not overly salted. In fact, I sprinkled on a bit of salt. The only disappointing dish of the eve-

ning was the small Belgian mussels ($10) They arrived cold. Our server whisked them away and brought me another bowl. The broth was made with leeks, garlic and Belgian beer. It was a little salty. The mussels were puny and scrawny. They still were not hot. I tried a pint of Twin Lakes Winterthur ($6) brewed in nearby Greenville, Del. It hit the spot. Jim and I both liked it. Jim enjoyed it so much, he ordered another pint. Service was superb. Share plates arrived with each course. Our silverware was changed and our water glasses were filled without asking. Still, the restaurant could use more bus help. By the time we left, HeadHouse was filled with people of all ages. A man whose hair was worn in long braids bore an eerie
resemblance to Willie Nelson, a couple in their golden years, a group of 30-somethings celebrating a friend’s birthday, singles and couples were enjoying a cool evening inside as the air outside continued to be almost unbearable. Two-and-a-half tips of the toque to The HeadHouse. SPR

■ Ice Cream Sodas ■ Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of Hershey’s chocolate syrup Strawberry syrup (recipe follows) 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (optional) 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, chilled Seltzer,
■ Strawberry Syrup ■ Ingredients:
1 pint of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced 1/2 cup of sugar Juice of 1 lemon
Directions: Combine all of the ingredients in a container. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Strain the syrup into a pitcher, pushing down on the strawberries to extract all the liquid. Note from Phyllis: Garten does not give the amount of syrup produced in this recipe. The recipe can be easily doubled. I think blueberries would also be a fine fruit for a syrup, especially if you use the glorious Jersey bluettes from Hammonton. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

n 1984, Ronald Reagan, who had a strong penchant for jelly beans, designated July as National Ice Cream Month. He specifically declared the third Sunday in July to be National Ice Cream Day. After doing some culinary sleuthing, I discovered 90 percent of the nation’s population eats ice cream, including me. I am addicted to it. I can stand outside at 6 a.m. barefoot during a snowfall clad in my nightgown shoveling not snow, but Ben & Jerry’s coffee Heath Bar Crunch into my mouth, or any of their flavors because I adore ice cream with a high fat content. I also like Turkey Hill’s mint chocolate chip. Breyer’s is OK. I think they recently upped the fat content. I also savor Bassett’s, which has been in business since the Civil War. I always smile whenever I see people eating Bassett’s ice cream at 9:30 a.m. in the Reading Terminal Market, or at any other time during the day. Ice cream is high on my list of favorite desserts. In fact, it comes in second to executive pastry chef Eddie Hale’s hot chocolate soufflé with crème anglaise served at The Fountain in the Four Seasons Hotel. The gelato craze hit our town when the first Capogiro opened a number of years ago. Their’s is the best. Do not accept any other under any circumstances unless you are fortunate enough to dine in a fine restau-
Directions: Pour the chocolate and strawberry syrups or vanilla extract and heavy cream in a tall ice cream soda glass. Whisk with a fork, then slowly, while still whisking, add the seltzer until the glass is three-quarters full. Add the ice cream, top of the glass off with soda and serve with a straw and a spoon. Serves one.

rant where the chefs make gelati in house. My mouth starts to water whenever I think of the profiteroles stuffed with the coffee ice cream my friend Christopher made for me last May. Drizzled with homemade hot fudge sauce and served with fresh berries, profiteroles are one fine way to end a decadent meal. Hot fudge sundaes topped with wet walnuts straight from the jar, root beer floats, Baked Alaska, which was created at Delmonico’s restaurant in 1876 to honor the recently acquired American territory, a sampler of ice creams with a sorbet or two, make me content. I believe First Lady Michelle Obama served Baked Alaska at a White House dinner. I have never made ice cream. I do not own an ice cream maker. All my Southern friends grew up churning it in their backyards or on their front porches. I can only imagine what homemade peach ice cream tastes like during long, hot southern summers.
In America, vanilla is the most popular flavor. I like French vanilla, especially if it is laced with caramel. Vanilla on its own is OK. I just prefer it with goodies packed inside such as nuts or chocolate chips. Strawberry and chocolate also are tops with me. Ice cream dresses up a simple pound cake, either made from scratch or store bought. In the summer, I add fresh berries or slices of ripe, juicy peaches. If you are feeling down, watch a baby or toddler taste ice cream for the first time. I’ve done this on a number of occasions and it always makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over. The child’s reaction is always the same. The eyes widen, the lips are smacking and their little mouths remain open for more. Here is what you need to make rich ice cream sodas. The recipes are from “Barefoot Contessa Parties!” by Ina Garten.
enough to fill 3/4 of a glass, chilled 2 scoops of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or coffee ice cream

Your new best friend LO JAX HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
HAILEY ROSE LITTLE
CONGRATULATIONS
Lo Jax, a one-year-old pit bull mix, was rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement officers as a young puppy. He spent nine months in the shelter just waiting for his case to be decided. But now he is dreaming of the day when he leaves the shelter that’s been his safe haven for so long and lives life the way a dog should, in a home with a family! Lo Jax has a lot of energy and loves to run. His ideal home would have a fenced yard so that he can run several times a day. But we also think that Lo Jax would do well in an apartment as long as his new owners understand his need for exercise. Lo Jax would do well in a home with older children, and may be ok to live with a female dog as a companion. Of course, the whole family (both two and four-legged) is encouraged to come to the shelter and meet Lo Jax before he goes home. So please come down to the Pennsylvania SPCA and meet Lo Jax today. You’ll make his dreams come true!

Dear Son, it’s now 10 years you left us. The pain I’m feeling is the same as the first day you took a piece of me with you. Now your father is gone I’m sure you are together.

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane we would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back to us. No goodbyes were said, not even a kiss goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, only God knows why. We pledge to you today a Hollow place within our hearts is where you’ll always stay. Hope you are finally at peace the peace you so deserved.

‘These kids are so eager to give new stuff a shot. They want to understand what they’re doing. Today can show them where they may end up going.’ —Bryan Hughes, coach

Members of South Philadelphia’s NJTL teams, from left, Jeremy Emami, Chazz Franchinie, Amira Davis, David Azvolinsky and Joe Franchinie, with coach Bryan Hughes, were all smiles like Venus Williams, right, at last week’s session. p h o t o b y n ata l i e k e l l e m
Aspiring young tennis nis players watched one of their game’s most accomplished stars ply her trade last week. Williams fended off the best shots from four children and one coach. MINUS HER CUSTOMARY grunts, the international star let her smile contrast with the darkening clouds. She and her foes gave everyone’s heads a workout as they intensified the pace of their strokes during their rallies. Though nobody from Hughes’ band battled the towering champion, everybody loved the action. “It was great,” Azvolinsky, who has played for five years, said. “It was good to see her hit,” Joe Franchinie, who, along with his brother, took up the game six years ago, said.

In addition to Azvolinsky, a fan of men’s great Roger Federer, Hughes brought Joe and Chazz Franchinie, twin 16-year-olds of the 1700 block of Jackson Street; Jeremy Emami, 16, of the 1800 block of Shunk Street; and Amira Davis, 13, of the 2400 block of Moore Street. The quintet joined about 250 other eager players who crowded inside and around the Bruce & Robbi Toll Stadium Court to wait for Williams. Once on the show court,

ot yet two weeks into their summer venture to improve their games, area tennis players witnessed the benefits of a lifetime commitment to ball striking brilliance. Last Thursday, five members from the two South Philadelphia National Junior Tennis League camps traveled to the East Falls-based Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis and Education Center to learn some valuable pointers from one of the world’s top-ranked female tennis stars. Venus Williams — ranked No. 3 in the world following last month’s quarterfinal appearance at the Wimbledon Championships — spent about 30 minutes trading groundstrokes with other promising talent. Fresh off his Jedi Tennis clinics, coach Bryan Hughes accompanied his handful of bashers to Williams’ initial visit to the facility. “This is a great opportunity for these kids,” Hughes, of the 900 block of Federal Street, said. “NJTL and AAYTE have such an efficient and simple way of inspiring interest in this sport.” Like Williams, a former world No. 1 and owner of seven Grand Slam championships, Hughes’ charges hail from an area that is not a tennis haven for youngsters. Williams and her top-ranked sister Serena grew up in Lynwood, Calif., which has a population of just over 73,000 and is as famous for giving the world Kevin Costner and “Weird Al” Yankovic as it is for fostering the Williams sisters. “South Philadelphia has no representation in junior tennis,” Hughes said of the American pipeline for the men’s and women’s professional tours. Since late June, his nearly two dozen players have been perfecting their strokes at Barry Playground, 1800 Bigler St., and FDR Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. They have totaled an impressive amount of years on the courts of South Philadelphia and New Jersey, but none has played in a tournament. “Many of them have NJTL experience,” Hughes noted, “and I hope they see today and the rest of the summer as reasons to go around and play some tournaments.” Junior tennis serves youngsters from the time they are 13 until they hit 19. In his time at Barry, Hughes works with begin-
Davis, whose foray into tennis began only two weeks prior to the event, was easily the most charged. “My mom got me into tennis,” she said. “I play so many sports, and one day she asked me if I knew about Venus Williams. I told her ‘no,’ so she bought me a book about her.” Of the local players, Davis came the closest to interacting with Williams, as she joined the flood of spectators hoping for an autograph or, at least, a few words of encouragement. encoura “No aautograph but that’s OK,” Davis, a member of the Barry Plaground team, cheerfully said. Williams capped her evening by leading the Washington Kastles to a victory over the Philadelphia Freedoms in World TeamTennis F action. The Kastles won last year’s a championship of the 36-year-old ch league that consists of men’s and le women’s singles and doubles play wo and mixed doubles competition. At A the Pavilion at Villanova University, sity Williams played singles, doubles and mixed doubles against her former team. team The league allows stars a respite from the grind of traveling overseas, as all matches occur in the United States. m The local teens did not catch her evening endeavors, but her afternoon efforts e inspired inspire Azvolinsky and Joe Franchinie. “We’re “W ’ going to play as soon as we go back to FDR,” the latter said. Their eagerness is common among the more than 6,500 children and young adults whom AAYTE instructs yearly. To those ages 4 through 18, the organization offers year-round tennis, education, life skills and leadership development programs and programs in schools, recreation centers and faith-based institutions. Last Thursday’s event drew players from Philadelphia, assorted locations in New Jersey, Ardmore and Norristown. Hearing Azvolinsky and Franchinie’s plan, Hughes knew the day’s effect. “These kids are so eager to give new stuff a shot. They want to understand what they’re doing. Today can show them where they may end up going,” Hughes said. SPR

ichael Vick. Is this going to be the story of 2010? I sure hope not.
Though cleared of any wrongdoing in the June 25 shooting outside of his birthday party, it really depends on the definition of “wrongdoing.” If you are making millions after being a convicted felon, and allowed to play in the NFL once again, are you allowed the leniency of hanging out with your co-defendants? I say no. No, you are “wrongdoing.” Commissioner Roger Goodell is taking a similar stance, but Philadelphia management should take a stronger one. He’s had more than three strikes and there while there are second-chances, Vick has had enough. SPR

215-467-4807 NoveNas prayer to St. Jude
Most Holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (mention your intentions), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you , O Blessed St. Jude, to be very mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do al in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.
