any advance the idea that one person’s loss is another’s gain. Elizabeth Cairo is working to prove that someone’s setback can simultaneously and paradoxically breed his or her own gain. Since losing her sister, Lauren Fitzgerald, to brain cancer five years ago Sunday, Cairo, 32, has championed research efforts to lessen the prevalence of the frequently overlooked disease. Her involvement includes time as a committee member for the Race for Hope at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and as an overseer of Fitzy’s See CAIRO page 12

The siblings from the 1600 block of Newkirk Street along with three other children took part in Positive Minds, a nonprofit supported by New Beginnings Nonprofit Incubator at Resources for Human Development, Inc., and run by a trio of sisters to offer area children the opportunity to work together and showcase their community via mediums such as photography, audio and video.
“Students tend to direct the program,” Jeannine said. “After brainstorming and finding out what they want to do, that’s where we’ll take it.” Jeannine moved to Philly in 2001 to attend college and Positive Minds came into existence the following year. “Positive Minds started as like a college See POSITIVE MINDS page 9

Word on the Street
With table games being introduced, are you more likely to go to a local casino or Atlantic City? “I would stay local since this would bring money and new businesses into the area and do something for the surrounding neighborhoods.” Paulette Merritt, 26th and Tasker streets
“I would go to AC just to get away for the day. Local casinos are just going to bring havoc to the city.” Marie Foster, 13th Street and Snyder Avenue
“I don’t really gamble, but if I were to go to a casino it would be closer to home. The city needs money.” John Fallon, 13th and Castle streets
“I would keep it local. If I went to AC, I would have to make a weekend out of it.” Dave Everitt, 12th and Wolf streets

A night worth repeating
To the Editor: This year was my first Pizzalympics, and what an enjoyable evening it was. I came with five of my friends who also thought it was an exciting night. We will definitely be back next year. The gift bags that were given out were a very nice unexpected surprise. There was plenty of room to dance and walk around to each pizza vendor without bumping into anyone. Even the tables were set up so you had enough room to sit comfortably and walk in between tables. The best part was there were so many different pizzas (amongst wings, sandwiches and strombolis) to choose from, and each one was conveniently displayed. This truly was a one-of-a-kind event, and you can absolutely count me and my friends in for next year. Joan Donnelly South Philadelphia
But invading Iraq to “disarm” them made no sense whatsoever. Iraq was already disarmed. They had no Navy or Air Force. Any old chemical or biological weapons left over from the first Gulf War were useless.There was only suspicion, encouraged by the propaganda mill, that they had nuclear capability. Asking Iraq to prove they did not have lethal weapons was like asking them to prove they did not have pink giraffes. No matter what they said, the answer was: They were hiding them. War should always be the action of last resort. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia
Hard to comprehend
To the Editor: I just wanted to say thank for you putting together the Pizzalympics this year. My wife and I attended and had a wonderful time. It was great to be able to sample all of the different pizzas and we got to hang out with our friends. We were very excited to try SliCEand Rustica’s pizza. We also really appreciated the beer special. Maybe next year we could get a couple of microbrews to sample? All in all, it was a great event and we had a wonderful time. Thank you and we look forward to participating next year.
To the Editor: I read with amusement the open letter to the Phillies fan who interfered with a Jayson Werth catch (“Foul territory interference,” July 15). There also is an incident that deserves honorable mention. What grown man comes to a baseball game with an Uncle Junior Soprano white jeff cap and a baseball glove? When you get past 12 years old don’t you leave the baseball glove at home? Then in front of 45,000 people at the stadium and all the TV viewers he poses for the cameras as to say I interfered with a foul ball for my own team. What on earth was he thinking?
Steve Mashington Operations Manager Yards Brewing Co.
C.A. Snyder South Philadelphia
Attacking the issue
Sharing the road
To the Editor: I agree with Tom Cardella (“War,” July 15): We should not engage in war without thinking mightily about our rationale. Our last declared war was WWII because we had to defend ourselves from a direct attack. Since then, we entered conflicts already in progress in Vietnam and Korea because we thought communism was the greatest threat to our democracy. Even the invasion of Afghanistan made some sense in our pursuit of alQaeda leaders who ordered the attacks on 9/11.
To the Editor: I am personally pleased that so many people in South Philly are now riding bicycles. However, they can be a nightmare for those who drive cars. Some cyclists obey the traffic laws, some only obey to their own advantage, etc. The worst for me is when a cyclist rides the white line between two lanes of traffic. Also, it is very difficult at times for cars to pass a cyclist for fear of hitting the person. Can anything be done about this? Would it be so terribly dangerous if bicycles were ridden
against the flow of traffic, so drivers of cars could see them at all times? Elaine Swan South Philadelphia
Safeguarding their wheels To the Editor: The Motorcycle Riders Foundation strongly believes consumers are entitled to the freedom to choose how their motorcycle, car or other type of vehicle is maintained, serviced or upgraded. That’s why we support the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act (S3181/HR2057) and urge Congress to swiftly pass the legislation in order to safeguard individual vehicle ownership rights today and in the future. The Right to Repair Act is a bipartisan bill that protects the right of American consumers to choose how they take care of their vehicles, be it in their driveway or at a trusted repair facility. It simply ensures that they have access to all the information required to complete service and repairs. Vehicles, including motorcycles, are becoming increasingly complex with more and more computer technology and that is only going to increase in the future. Complete access to accurate service and repair information from the manufacturers is essential to the safety and well being of the entire American motoring public. We encourage all motorists to visit www.righttorepair.org to send a letter to each of their congressional representatives, urging them to support the Right to Repair Act by adding their names to the growing list of co-sponsors. Jeff Hennie Vice President of Government Relations Motorcycle Riders Foundation Washington, D.C. Comment on these letters or topics at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

nfortunately, I was only 4 years old when Live Aid literally rocked the world 25 years ago.Though I’m now a self-proclaimed ’80s junkie, at the time I was too young to appreciate the stars that took the stage at Philly’s long-gone JFK Stadium and London’s Wembley Stadium. I guess I was too preoccupied with Saturday morning cartoons to give a hoot. However, I do recall bits and pieces of the event – TV clips of MTV veejays at the Philly concert, announcements about the event and its mission to raise money and awareness for famine relief in Ethiopia beaming to the radio in my father’s car, and, most importantly, disturbing photos of a nation deprived of the basic necessities of life. My developing mind couldn’t fathom how people can starve on a planet that produces enough food to feed all of its
inhabitants. Twenty-five years later, it still doesn’t make much sense to me. Thanks to the power of music, the event raised $127 million. And even if it was for only one day, the world came together and championed for a basic human right none of us should ever live without. I’ve seen video clip upon video clip of the day’s performers (nothing beats U2’s rendition of their song “Badâ€?), but I’m more touched by what’s going on in the audience–average Joes and Janes filled with a zest for life, a power they hope to share with the strangers they’re rallying for in another land. I attended the Live 8 concert in Philly with some friends back in 2005. It wasn’t the same. Maybe it was because I wasn’t too fond of the lineup. Maybe it was because nobody in the audience looked like they really cared about what the concert stood for. Whatever the reason, I only wish I was able to join the hordes of people back in 1985. If only the human race could take a similar stand for hunger everyday. Kudos to those who are ‌ Do you have fond memories of the event? Were you in attendance? Feel free to share your stories. SPR

P
assyunk Square residents are beginning to breathe easier after more than 80 dogs were rescued from a home on the 700 block of Earp Street last week. According to residents, the stench encompassed the entire block and locals have been calling several city agencies since last summer. However, the owner of the dwelling allegedly refused entrance into the home without a warrant. The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals executed a search warrant to enter the home at 739 Earp St. around 6 p.m. July 14. There, humane law enforcement officers rescued 85 Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes in addition to two cats, according to a press release from the PSPCA. Two dead dogs also were discovered inside the home. All the animals will be evaluated at PSPCA headquarters and available for adoption at a later date. Charges to the owners are pending medical evaluations, but could include citations for unsanitary conditions, lack of veterinary care and potential misdemeanor charges for animal cruelty. “Situations like this go above and beyond a case of someone simply having more than the typical number of pets,” PSPCA’s Director of Law Enforcement George Bengal said in a press release. “Hoarding is a problem that affects not only animals, but people in every community in this country.”
Teen dies in Cadillac A 19-year-old Pennsport man was gunned down inside a vehicle Monday night. Police responded to the 500 block of Pierce Street for a reported shooting, Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. At 10:36 p.m., police discovered Akiem Smith, of the 1300 block of South Fourth Street, with multiple gunshot wounds inside a Cadillac DeVille. He was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:19 p.m. As of press time, police did not have any suspects or a motive for the homicide. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334.
Courtside drama Gunfire erupted on the sidelines of a basketball game at a local rec center injuring a spectator. During a basketball game at Ford Recreation Center, 631 Snyder Ave., a group of female bystanders began fighting while the action on the court of the Ford PAL/ Mitchell Stop the Violence Basketball League continued, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Soon other onlookers and players joined in the fight. One man fired two shots from a .25 caliber handgun striking a 38-year-old once in the stomach, Tolliver said. The victim was driven to Methodist Hospital via private auto in stable condition. The suspect is believed to be from the housing projects near Fifth and Christian streets and was described as black, age 22, suffering from facial injuries as a result of the fight and wearing a red T-shirt. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Butter arrested A man was apprehended for a May Grays Ferry bar shooting more than two months after his target identified him from a photo array as a man he only knew as “Butter.” Major Crimes Gun Violence Task Force arrested Eric Burley, 28, of the 1800 block of South Corlies Street, inside a home on the 1300 block of Church Street in the Northeast July 14, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A Sears & Roebuck 12-gauge shotgun was recovered under the couch where he was sitting upon police entering the residence. Burley was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, terroristic threats and firearm violations. Burley pled guilty to a 2004 aggravated assault and was also found guilty of a ’07 aggravated assault, according to court records. On May 1 Burley allegedly entered Big Fella’s Sports Bar, 1348 S. 33rd St., called the a 32-year-old man’s name and shot him in the stomach and right hip before
Police Report fleeing the bar, Tolliver said. The victim was transported by medic to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in serious condition and was not interviewed until three days later when he identified Burley.
Blood smear A man left a trail of blood on a Point Breeze block, after he was caught in the gunfire last week. While walking home from the corner store, a 25-year-old man heard gunshots on the 2000 block of Moore Street and ran toward 21st Street when he was struck twice at 9:49 p.m. July 15, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Police saw the man bleeding heavily from his right leg and foot upon their arrival, Tolliver said. The man was transported by medic to HUP in stable condition with a wound to his right knee and foot with that bullet entering his heel and exiting near his toes. In addition to ballistics on the street, a basement window was struck on the block, Tolliver said. The offenders are believed to be two males who fled in an unknown vehicle north on 20th Street. However, the victim did not see the shooter and did not know who would want to shoot him. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Burger King holdup A manager and two other employees of a Pennsport burger joint were forced in the freezer after two armed robbers ran off with more than $2,000 last week.
A man was burglarized after he was robbed inside a Point Breeze bar last week. A 53-year-old was drinking at the bar inside Crab Bar, 1252 S. 21st St., when a man pointed a small black gun at him and said, “give it up,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man handed over his wallet. The offender took $150 and dropped the wallet to the ground. The offender then handed over his keys, which he also dropped on ground, but then picked up and removed the house keys before fleeing from the bar. Shortly after, a neighbor called the man and told him two men entered his home using keys while another waited in a Buick station wagon, Tolliver said. After the house alarm rang on the 2300 block of Dickinson Street, they fled in the Buick. Police later recovered the Buick on the 2700 block of Latona Street. One of the men was described as wearing a red jersey and blue jeans while the other was in all black. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Shots at Sixth and Emily
As employees were getting ready to close at 11:45 p.m., the manager saw an unknown armed man push one of his employees into his office, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man pointed his black semi-automatic handgun at the manager’s head and told him to instruct the employee to open the safe. The manager obliged. The offender took about $1,000 from the safe and swiped another $1,030 from the till on the manager’s desk, Tolliver said. A second offender armed with a knife shoved another employee into the office, Tolliver said. Before fleeing, the duo pushed the employees into the freezerwhere an employee phoned police. No one was injured. The men were described as black, age 18 to 20, stocky and wearing white hoodies with the hoods up and blue jeans. The man armed with the gun was 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-9 and was wearing a white cloth over his face and black football gloves. The man armed with a knife was 6-foot-1 to 6-foot-2 and wearing black mask over his face. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Slicing it down News
Hundreds gathered at Penns Landing Caterers last week for what could easily be deemed the biggest pizza party the community has ever seen. By Erica J. Minutella Review Intern
L
ast Thursday, more than 600 people had the opportunity to follow the pizza-aficionado’s equivalent of the yellow brick road: An entryway lined with yellow, red and white balloons that led to a mini bastion fortified with ovens and pizza boxes. At the Review’s Second Annual Pizzalympics, local parlors competed to gain recognition from this year’s attendees. Upon arrival, guests were beckoned into the doors of Penns Landing Caterers, 1301 S. Columbus Blvd., by a bright blue 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sports Sedan, sporting advertisements that promised musical entertainment by Sam Lit of HyLitRadio.com. The $10 all-you-can-eat feast included slices from14 different vendors: Adriana’s, 1717 S. Second St; Cacia’s Bakery, 1526 Ritner St.; Chickie’s and Pete’s, 1526 Packer Ave.; City Pizza, Front Street and Snyder Avenue and 16th Street and Oregon Avenue; J and J South Philly Pizza, 1777-79 S. Ninth St.; Key Pizza and Grill, 1846 S. 12th St.; Napoli Pizza, 944 E. Passyunk Ave.; Not Just Pizza, 2240 S. 11th St.; Pizza Shack, 1500 Porter St.; Rustica, 903 N. Second St; Salvatore’s Pizza, 1429 Jackson St.; SliCE, 1180 S. 10th St.;South View Pizza, Fourth and Durfor streets; and The Pizza Place, Seventh and Morris streets. Conveniently placed just before the entryway between the lobby and the main hall, representatives from Philator.com Realtors handed out beach bags to all participants, thereby providing the perfect receptacle for the bombardment of pizza menus, pamphlets and giveaways soon to follow. Strains of classic tunes accompanied guests as they visited the tables lining the walls from end to end of the large room. Each vendor offered a varied selection of pizzas from their menus, while patrons were encouraged to sample as many pies as they wished. Once the rounds were completed, visitors moved to tables set up in the middle of the floor for the chance to rest weary feet as well as build up appetites for a second helping. “It’s overwhelming. I had to go around
City Pizza, with two locations, offered up slices with a tasty side dish for guests making the rounds to rank the best that each vendor had to offer. P h o t o b y N ata l i e K e l l e m
a couple of times before I got situated,” West Philadelphia resident Rocky Ricco, who found out about the event from friends, said. “We heard there were Pizzalympics going on and we freaked out.” Tommy Ciarrocchi, manager at Chickie’s and Pete’s, estimated the turnout at 500 plus. Due to the plentiful turnout, vendors were forced to order more pies to ensure guests would be amply provided throughout the three-hour eating competition. “It’s unbelievable. We started out with 250 slices; we’re already out,” Ciarrocchi said about halfway through the event. FOR THOSE WITH a desire to cleanse pizza-overloaded palettes, Not Just Pizza offered a sampling of buffalo wings, while Key Pizza presented a hoagie tray. Other choices included free Utz potato chips, cans of illy issimo’s Italian espressos, as well as a sampling of the fine cuisine from chef and private consultant Siobhan
Allgood of It’s Allgood. The resident of Broad and Wharton streets, who recently completed on season seven of the Fox reality cooking show “Hell’s Kitchen,” prepared Baja chipotle braised pork with roasted tomatillo, poblano and Jersey corn salsa with sauteed nopales (cactus) and queso fresco. At the end of the night, patrons submitted ballots to determine the 2010 Pizzalympic champions in the eight disciplines of taste: Best Crust, Best Veggie, Best Square/Sicilian, Best Sauce, Best Creative Topping, Best White, Best Tomato Pie and Best Overall Slice. For Roy Alabado, who came from Chestnut Hill to check out the event, Rustica was the clear winner. “There was a cheesesteak and caramelized onion pizza, and they had a fig pizza with Gorgonzola,” Alabado said about the vendor’s surprising ingredients. Some attendees were taken aback by the sheer number of choices.
“I lost track,” Packer Park resident George Gallo, of 17th Street and Packer Avenue, said. “I had just about every one. I couldn’t tell you which was my favorite.” The ’09 Pizzalympics took place at Galdo’s Catering, 1935 W. Moyamensing Avenue, but all of the vendors were quick to note that they were pleased with this year’s venue change. “Last year was a success,” Cacia’s Bakery owner Sam Cacia said. “Now they moved to a bigger place, and they filled it up. I think they need a bigger place next year ... I can’t believe how South Philly supports all their pizza places.” Guests who stayed until 9 p.m. were offered the added bonus of free boxes to go before the shops closed for the night.

POSITIVE MINDS continued from page 1 club,” she said. “I started it when I was at University of the Arts. It was me and two other girls. My sisters didn’t live in Philly at the time.” She and her sisters Jenielle and Minista Jazz may have grown up in Virginia, but have impacted children in Uganda, Trinidad, Florida, Virginia, New York and Philadelphia through the program. Now with all of sisters living in South Philly, they are focusing on theyoungsters on the 1600 block of Newkirk Street. “My father lives on the block. My children play on the block,” Jeannine, of 28th Street and Snyder Avenue, said. “We know everyone on the block.” That’s how Positive Minds came to Grays Ferry. While it isn’t the first time their nonprofit has been in effect in the city, it is the first time the program was not run out of an established recreation center or through another organization, Jeannine said. “This is the first time we’re bringing the arts to the students instead of the other way around,” she said. The completely free program that is held from 1 to 2:30 p.m Saturdays (or Sunday
in the event of bad weather) is open to children age 7 and up who reside on the 1600 block of Newkirk as well as surrounding blocks, but is not limited to youngsters as the organizers hope parents will take part as well. “I just didn’t want it to be closed off in that way,” she said. “I wanted it to be more of a community thing and less of a kid thing.” For now, the younger generation enjoys being in control of the class. “We got to split up in two groups and tell our elders what we want to take a picture of,” Messiah Toure, Jeannine’s 7-year-old son, said. WITH A COMPUTER set up on the porch, the group received a lesson on cameras as Jeannine and Jenielle explained the influence they could have on their community on the inaugural session. “Before we try to make the whole entire world a better place, let’s start to make where we are a better place,” Jeannine said to the group before explaining the group’s three rules: Peace, love and respect. After some fun activities to get the kids acquainted with each other, Jenielle taught

POSITIVE MINDS continued from page 9 the youngsters about cameras, hard drives and camcorders. Then the group split up to explore the block as the leaders took pictures of examples of positive things on that block as suggested by the kids. “We’re going to be taking some images and learning how to make our community into what we want it to be even more and infusing positivity into our community,” Jenielle, of 20th and Tasker streets, said to the children. Jenielle’s group set off to take pictures of a swimming pool, barbecue grill and flowers as she gave them a sneak peak of taking photos at different angles while Jeannine’s group captured recyclables and residents cleaning their sidewalk. After uploading and sharing each other’s finds and giving a lesson on different photo angles, each child received a disposable camera with which they were instructed to take the whole roll of film with nine high, eye and low angle shots. The children walked along the block taking pictures of cars, homes and each other utilizing what they were taught. “You guys did an amazing job,” Jenielle,
who majored in film at the Art Institute, said to the children at the end of the class. “You guys got a really good experience that not a lot of kids your age get.” Keon Cardwell, 7, and Keith Williams, 8, joined in the festivities after Jenielle spotted them on the 1600 block of South Marston Street. “I just saw them sitting on the porch,”
‘Before we try to make the whole entire world a better place, let’s start to make where we are a better place.’ —Jeannine Cook she said. “They looked bored … They enjoyed this and got experience they probably really never had.” Both boys did thoroughly like the experience. “We took pictures with our own cameras,” Keith, a North Philly resident, who was visiting his grandmother on Marston, said. The program will continue to expand the children’s knowledge of multimedia with the introduction of close-ups and
the theme of “Community: Where Everybody Knows Your Name” highlighted last week’s session.The children are taking pictures of the various houses to give as gifts to the residents. “That’s just beginning to open up the dialogue and let them know this is what the peace is about,” Jeannine said. By the end of the class, the sisters hope the students have a short film with the students acting and directing it, which will be unveiled locally Aug. 21. “The sky is the limit,” Jenielle said. “If the video could be entered in a contest, that is our goal.” Although starting small, the siblings hope their organization will grow, but first they hope to make a difference on just one block of South Philly. “I feel really good. I feel confident with the progress we’re going to make,” Jenielle said.

Competing for the tradition
CAIRO continued from page 1 Halloween Festival and 5k Run/Walk in honor of her fallen sibling. Cairo, of the 1700 block of Kater Street, has lived in South Philadelphia since 2006. She has become an advocate to address the devastation of brain and spinal cord tumors. Trailing only leukemia, those tumors account for nearly 21 percent of childhood cancers, according to The American Cancer Society. Each year, doctors diagnose more than 2,000 central nervous system tumors in children under the age of 20. “Among children, brain cancer has almost become an epidemic,” Cairo said. May, which is known National Brain Cancer Awareness Month, has proven a somewhat ironic period for Cairo and her immediate family. Ms. Fitzgerald received her diagnosis, a Grade 3 or “high grade” anaplastic oligodendroglioma on her sister’s birthday in May ’04. At the time, Ms. Fitzgerald was a freshman interior design major at Drexel University. The Berks County 19-year-old belonged to the school’s crew team and its Delta Phi Epsilon sorority. She continued her schooling into her sophomore year following two surgeries at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Her tumor’s growth increased in May ’05, and her brave battle ended July 18 of that year at Duke University in Durham, N.C. The end of Ms. Fitzgerald’s earthly existence impelled Cairo to maximize hers. “I wanted to pursue a higher cause,” Cairo, who works as the director of business development for a local catering and event planning company, said. Her commitment has yielded a spot on the 50-member committee for the annual Race for Hope. “When we started, we were working out of someone’s basement,” she said. Nearly 6,000 people participated in last year’s fundraiser for brain cancer, generating $750,000 for research, advocacy and patient services. “We are aiming for $1 million this year,” Cairo said of the November 7 5k Run/Walk — the fifth installment of her autumn contribution to raise local awareness. A WEEK PRIOR to the run, she will join family and friends October 31 for Fitzy’s Run/Walk. The Wyomissing gathering, which annually convenes on the last Sunday in October, falls this year on what would have been Ms. Fitzgerald’s 26th birthday. Since the inaugural year of her passing, proceeds from the event have gone towards starting scholarship funds for Berks County high school seniors and charitablefunds, with donations going to the American Brain Tumor As-

sociation. Local families that have lost children to cancer and brain tumors also have benefitted. “Each year these events truly amaze me,” Cairo said. “Outsiders may wonder, with the high fatality rate, why anybody bothers with these types of events. Those people have given up hope. The people who struggle with the disease don’t give up hope.” Doctors diagnosed Ms. Fitzgerald with a primary brain tumor. This tumor originates within the brain, whereas a secondary brain tumor is one that has spread, or metastisized, to another area of the body. Approximately 17,000 primary brain tumor diagnoses happen each year, with nearly 13,000 resulting in death, a 76 percent fatality rate. accoding to the American Cancer Socirty. Secondary brain cancer cases number 100,000 each year . Ms. Fitzgerald, however, is much more than a statistic to her sister. “Lauren’s fight is a testament to her being young and having fight,” Cairo said of Ms. Fitzgerald, whose heart, lungs, kidneys and liver have maintained the lives of five fortunate people. Brain cancer has numerous signs and symptoms, including blurred vision, which tipped off Ms. Fitzgerald’s family to the fact that their loved one was sick. Losing her sister has encouraged Cairo to
promote healthy lifestyles for herself; her fiance, Joaquin Koenig; and their 1-yearold son, Loren, whose name is the masculine twist on his late aunt’s. “I am raising my son vegan,” Cairo, who became engaged in May and will soon begin a new life in Fishtown, said. She and Koenig have planned September ’11 nuptials. As further proof of her commitment to health and longevity, she wants specialists to construct more trials for treatment options for brain cancer patients, noting chemotherapy and drugs as her chief concerns. She desires for more involvement in hospitals and has advocated added outreach to doctors, suggesting that the Race for Hope honor oncologists who have tirelessly sought answers. “I am for anything that can prolong the decency of life.” she said. Prolonging her sister’s memory will never prove difficult. Over the weekend, Cairo joined around 25 friends and family members to celebrate Ms. Fitzgerald’s 20 years. “In previous years, we have had larger groups, but this year we are going to have something really intimate.” she said Friday. “And, oh, we’ll have a sunflower toss. Sunflowers were Lauren’s favorite.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news/features.
embers of the South Philly Vikings, 1815 S. 11th St., headed to Hollywood yesterday. Earlier this month the episode aired in which the judges from “America’s Got Talent” placed the Fancy Brigade in the show’s top 48. With city funds lacking the past two years for the Mummers Parade, captain Pete D’Amato hopes the show will bring recognition to the Mummers and hopefully provide the needed finanicial relief, he wrote on the Vikings’ website. “The Vikings have everything to lose with very little to gain and are risking their own exsistance in taking on this crazy adventure ... we do know that the tradition of the greatest parade in the world is in jeopardy and we also know that if it was presented to another organization, that they would [have] felt and done the same thing. We can only pray that we as Mummers can benefit from this somehow and take full advantage of the opportunity that has been presented to us and SPV will be trying its best to make all of you proud to be a Mummer.” America’s Got Talent airs 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays on NBC.

uits, ties and board meetings may be a few words that remind people of banking. Sports radio is probably not. South Philly natives Bob Marino and Anthony Gargano — who have a 30-year friendship forged from half-ball games and Rita’s water ice — are looking to change that. “It was Anthony’s idea, he was like, ‘What if Bob comes on the air with me and discusses banking?’” Marino, Delaware Valley Region president and director of Valley Green Bank, said. “People see banking as very boring and stogy. And our growing up in South Philly kind of humanizes the whole process and Anthony came up

Two childhood buddies use the sportsradio airwaves as an outlet to provide fellow Philadelphians financial guidance. with the idea for Ask Bob.” Ask Bob is a weekly commercial of sorts that runs on Philadelphia’s 610 WIP sportsradio, where Gargano has been a personality for a decade. The one-minute spots taped biweekly feature Marino and Gargano talking, well, like two boys from South Philly about everything from a remote deposit to lending. “It’s about relationships, you should look at your banker as someone who is a valued and trusted person in your business,” Marino said. “Really get to know your banker and let them get to know your business.”
This approach to banking is why Marino switched to Valley Green in January, and also the message Gargano and Marino are trying to convey in their radio spots. “[Bob] was saying maybe we should do some advertising, present it and thaw out some of the stodginess of banking,” Gargano, from 18th and Ritner streets, said. “Listen, I endorse 12, maybe 10 products and I make sure I believe in them. You know, I think they are good products. “Bob, I know for a fact, the other ones I’m pretty sure about. Bob, I know the guy’s a genius.” Many would scoff at the idea a banker and a sports radio host have professional common ground. But that’s what friends are for. “…The way our parents brought us up, your friends and your family are at the core of who you are,” Marino, 46, said. “So many great things I’ve experienced with my family and my friends and it’s almost interchangeable. My friends are as close as my family. Everyone is watching out for each other, these seven guys are my brothers, if I was ever in trouble, they were looking out for me.” Gargano refers to the same circle
Lifestyles of seven, which includes his cousin Joey — who is owner of Boys Town-Girls Town, 1708 E. Passyunk Ave. — whom both credit with connecting them. And though the network of seven friends now stretches from Jersey to “Frisco” to Wisconsin, some bonds can stretch infinitely without breaking. “I think it’s South Philly people, I think you’re raised by this, you’re raised that the minute you make a friend when you’re that age, that’s it, that’s foxhole,” Gargano, who gave his age as “four years younger than Bobby,” said. “I live a pretty social life. I get to be friends with ball players and reporters. But when I say ‘friends’ I’m talking about my seven friends who I grew up with and it’s a South Philly thing cause we are foxhole guys.” RAISED ON THE 2600 block of Colorado Street, Marino went to St. Monica’s for middle school and then on to Central High. Though Gargano’s family moved out of the area when he was about 8, South Philly was still home. “My mother loved South Philly, she hated Jersey, so we would stay weekends over my grandmother’s,” Gargano said of his kin who still lived at 18th and Ritner. “It was funny, I was there ’cause I loved going back. All my friends were there so I would go.”
With an age difference that may seem insurmountable in other areas, the fouryears-apart Marino and Gargano learned early that age is just a number. “What happened was my cousin Joey and Bobby went to school together. I was the tagalong and I’d tagalong with those guys and they became my friends, and I became the mascot of the crew,” Gargano said. Gargano moved back to the area when he enrolled in Temple University, commuting to complete a bachelor’s in English from his grandmother’s home. Marino was also an Owl studying business, a subject in which he would later get a master’s degree from St. Joe’s University. Upon graduation, the two went their separate ways to carve out professional careers. “I was working part-time for Central Pennsylvania Bank, a Philadelphia bank that was later purchased and became Meridian,” Marino said. “I was going to school full-time and then banking parttime. Then it reversed a few years later.” Gargano set out to tackle the journalism world, stretching his legs outside of Philadelphia’s city limits. “I went to Chicago for the wire service in Chicago and then the AP and then a suburban newspaper. I covered Chicago sports for them,” Gargano, whose third book, “The NFL Unplugged,” comes out
in October, said. “I worked for the New York Post for seven years, then I went to the [Philadelphia] Inquirer. “I did sports, I was always doing sports.” Marino continued his projected track, something Gargano says was destined from the beginning. “Here’s the thing with Bob, he’s a brilliant guy. He’s always been brilliant with money. Bob was buying silver when we were kids. It’s bizarre, he would buy and sell stuff,” Gargano said. “Bob, he always had an understanding of finances. I’ll never forget he got us in the stock market. “Everyone got nervous and sold it and, of course, Bob stayed the course. He was the only one who made money.” Parlaying his boyhood talents into a successful adult enterprise, Marino managed 25 branches and 250 people at Meridian. When approached by Valley Green in 2009, which has only two branches in the area and a total of 35 employees, Marino’s business savvy pointed him in the right direction. “I made the switch to a smaller bank and coming to a smaller bank and getting a chance to be on the board of directors is great,” Marino, who actually started the ‘Ask Bob’ segments four years ago, said. “Having a chance to help businesses at a tough time in the economy, really lending money to Philadelphians, lending to small businesses
and entrepreneurs [is what we do].” Gargano was offered the job on WIP and took it thinking it would be an interesting endeavor, but little more. Ten years later he is still on the air. Being able to work together on the Ask Bob segments is something Marino and Gargano agree is a natural result of being raised in South Philly and the lifetime friendships that seem to be a unique part of the local culture. “I think you only see this in South Philly and there were seven of us that grew up and we are still all best friends and now our best friends are friends,” Marino said. “It’s not fair to say it doesn’t happen anywhere else, but I really feel it’s true. “The first thing out of your mouth when people ask, ‘Where are you from?’ you don’t say Philly, you say South Philly because we do distinguish that.” And, just as they jeered one another on hot summer afternoons many years ago, some things never change. “My cousin Joey, he cracks up laughing when he hears me and Bob on the air,” Gargano said. “He has [my radio] show on all day long. It’s funny when you here it from the ears of other people.” SPR Comment at http://www.southphillyreview. com/news/lifestyles.

Class warfare
A
re Republicans as concerned about the federal budget deficit as they claim? We have their record of the Bush years as one indicator. When Republicans took over the White House and Congress, there was a budget surplus. The Bush administration and a Republican Congress pushed through the infamous tax cuts tilted in favor of the wealthiest Americans, despite Bush’s own council of economic advisers being on record as against the cuts. Bush also expanded entitlement costs by adding an expensive drug benefit to Medicare. Republicans failed to pay for any of these hits on the federal budget. The result was that a significant surplus was turned into a staggering federal deficit. It is not Bush bashing or trying to pass off all of our current fiscal woes on the past administration. It does show that many of the same Republicans who pose as the guardians of fiscal sanity certainly didn’t act that way when they held power. Republicans would respond that they have learned the hard lessons of their past fiscal irresponsibility. But have they really? Not if you examine current Republican talking points. They’re against letting the Bush tax cuts run out for those earning more than $250,000. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that extending those tax cuts this year would cost around $678 billion. Leading congressional Republicans rationalize their fiscal inconsistency two ways, neither of which makes much economic sense. Sen. John Kornyn (R-Texas) believes the tax cuts shouldn’t count against the deficit. Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) claims the tax cuts will actually reduce the deficit. Maybe he should talk to his own CBO. Maybe he should tell us where he got his degree in economics. What Republicans are really arguing is the tax cuts help stimulate the economy. However, these cuts have been in effect all during the bad times and the economy still went into the toilet. These same Republicans also are against reinstating the estate tax, which only applies to the wealthiest 0.3 percent of Americans. This is the same tax Republican pollster Frank Luntz dubbed the “death tax,” which sounds ominous enough to send any Tea Party member into therapy (even though few if any Tea Party members would be subject to the tax). Where do Republicans worry about the size of the deficit? Certainly not when it
comes to the cost of prosecuting two wars or in approving the latest expensive atomic submarine. No, Republicans got real budget conscious when it came to extending unemployment benefits to folks who have been out of work in this dreadful economy. They filibustered away when it came to extending benefits and Congress went on vacation leaving two million unemployed workers without unemployment checks. This must also be put in perspective. Never before, since the enactment of unemployment benefits, has Congress allowed those benefits to expire while the unemployment rate hovers in the stratosphere between 9.3 and 9.5 percent. Republicans claim they are not against extending unemployment benefits, they just want them to come out of already approved stimulus funds — ones that have already helped, but proven to be insufficient. According to the CBO, extending unemployment benefits would add about 0.1 percent to the current deficit. So here we have it — Republicans are willing to extend the Bush tax cuts for the well-off and eliminate the estate tax that would place a burden on the surviving Steinbrenner family than help unemployed workers. Welcome to the new Grand Old Party — their elephant logo has been replaced by the face of Scrooge. Conservatives are using the current budget deficit as an excuse to whittle away at your safety net. George Will, the conservative columnist for the Washington Post and a regular on ABC’s “This Week,” pontificated the true mantra of the right. Will asserts that folks won’t go back to work if you keep extending their unemployment benefits. This, of course, presupposes that there are jobs out there for every American who wants a job — something we know in this economy is crazy thinking. But that hasn’t stopped the Republican candidate for governor of this great state to argue that very point. The unemployment rate in Pennsylvania is slightly below the national level.The benefits are, by law, about half of a recipient’s weekly wage (an average of $310 a week). Tom Corbett tried to soften his stance of blaming the out-of-work victims. His spokesman now claims Corbett was only passing along anecdotal comments. In order for Republicans to avoid being painted as insensitive, they must denigrate the needy as undeserving. If you are out of work, it is because you don’t want to work. If you are poor, it is because you are worthless and lazy. When you accuse Republicans of trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor and needy, they scream “class warfare.” What is it that the Republicans are waging, but their own version of class warfare?

‘Kids’ is right on
Nic (Annette Bening), left, and Jules (Julianne Moore) delightfully portray the trials and tribulations of a same-sex couple trying to keep their family intact in “The Kids Are All Right.”
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
W
annabe progressives who insist the lesbianism of “The Kids Are All Right” is no big deal are kidding themselves. It’s a pretty huge deal. With ace actors and a dynamite script, the film does for lesbians what “Brokeback Mountain” did for gays: It has that magical mix of prestige and mainstream accessibility that takes a story headlined by a same-sex couple and makes it appealing to just about everyone. That the movie itself makes no issue of its homosexuality, however, is crucial to its greatness. It’s a film about commitment and frailty and family, with a family that — whaddya know? — just happens to have two moms. It’s as vintage as it is fresh, with a thorough, infectious self-comfort. It’s also impeccably cast, featuring the dream duo of Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as married couple Nic and Jules, Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson as their teenage children, Joni and Laser, and Mark Ruffalo as Paul, the kids’ spermdonor father whom they seek out only to later watch him upend their little family. Director Lisa Cholodenko, who co-wrote the screenplay with Stuart Blumberg, and whose own life partly mirrors the events on screen, uses Paul’s arrival to facilitate necessary growth among her characters, but also shrewdly shows how everything was rather normal before a man and the prospect of a more traditional family unit invaded the picture. Similarly, Cholodenko nestles the film’s simple themes right into the note-perfect dialogue without ever overstating the point: “Marriage is hard.” “Sexuality is complicated.” (“No matter who you are,” a lesser
movie might have declared.) The filmmaker, despite her feminist impulses, funnels universal truths through a contemporary channel, and presents a modern family that’s just as lovably screwed up as any other. Set and shot in a very lived-in, sun-kissed Los Angeles, “Kids” is a treasure trove of winning moments and performances. It’s hilarious and emotional in ways people will connect with and adore. From where I’m sitting, the world looks a little bit better with this movie in it. How often can that be said?

Italian actress Giovanna Mezziogiorno is sensational as the discarded, yet doggedly devoted first wife of Mussolini (Filippo Timi) in “Vincere,” an outstanding period piece directed by 70-year-old legend Marco Bellocchio. Part melodrama, part biopic, part romance, and entirely engrossing, it’s a Lifetime flick hoisted into the lofty realm of great Italian cinema.

Mercy Starts With Me
“ I trust the care of my family to Mercy! ” As CEO of one of the largest home care organizations in the five-county Philadelphia region, I understand how hard it can be to find an in-home healthcare provider you can trust. I also know you can trust Mercy...I do! For many years my mother lived with several chronic illnesses that threatened her ability to stay independent at home. Mercy’s dedicated team of nurses and therapists supported my family by ensuring her safety, managing her care and improving her overall quality of life. At Mercy Home Health, we believe the healing process starts in the comfort of home... where support is needed most. I trust the care of my family to Mercy...so should YOU! 1.888.690.2551 www.mercyhealth.org/homehealth

sparagus is now in season. While green ones tend to be the more popular ones, the seasonal vegetable also comes in the white variety. Sprinkle a little olive oil over top and sauté for five minutes and they’re ready to serve. That’s if you want to do things the easy way. Dolores Collins prefers to steps things up a bit via her Chicken Casserole with Asparagus. But the resident of the 2100 block of South Hancock Street understands not everybody is a big fan of this green veggie, so she suggests substituting the asparagus with peas or green beans. No matter which one you choose, the recipe covers four food groups. SPR

Dolores’ Chicken Casserole with Asparagus INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup of butter 1 cup of bread cubes 1 cup of fresh or canned cut-up asparagus (if fresh, cook beforehand) 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1 tablespoon of dried parsley 1 5-ounce can of chunk chicken, drained and flaked 6 eggs, beaten 1/3 cup of milk 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
pan. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat with the butter. Stir in the asparagus, salt, parsley and chicken. Cook for two minutes, stirring occasionally. Beat together the eggs and the milk and stir in cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture and stir briefly to combine. Cook until the eggs are set, about 15 minutes.
DIRECTIONS:
Over medium-low heat, melt the butter in a large sauce-

atthew Levin is the chef of the moment. For weeks food bloggers have been following the progress of Adsum, his new restaurant in Queen Village that opened last week. I have always savored Levin’s cuisine. He owned a chic restaurant in New Hope and moved to LaCroix at The Rittenhouse. During his tenure there, he was a wizard in the kitchen. He took an almost chemistlike approach to ingredients and their various flavors and textures. Like all fine chefs, Levin easily adapts to any kitchen. It was no surprise when I discovered he is the chef at Rouge as well. I have not been to Rouge in a while. I wanted to sample his menu before I head over to Adsum. The restaurant is a little piece of paradise. Its circular bar is usually filled with men and women right out of central casting. As I sipped a big, icy cold Bombay Sapphire martini, ($13) expertly prepared by the female barkeep Sam, a man about 75 years old with snow-white hair wearing a gold and diamond pinky ring slid onto the stool next to me. A husband and wife were sharing a bottle of rose. There were a few men in business suits and a woman wearing a little black dress and a strand of pearls. A father was celebrating his birthday with his two 50-something year-old daughters. Sam and Amy unfolded a large linen napkin in front of me. It served as a place mat. I studied Levin’s menu and immediately got big eyes. Every dish appealed to me. I

munched a fresh French roll with creamy sweet butter and tried to make my decisions. Kobe beef tartare ($15) was hand chopped and immaculately fresh. It was topped with a charred onion soy sauce and a sprinkling of crisp, slightly salted macadamia nuts. Instead of a small fried quail’s egg, Levin served an Asian twist on the all-American deviled egg. He mixed hot wasabi into the yolk. This was bliss on a plate. The list of wines by the glass was superbly planned. I enjoyed a glass of KuoRio Malbac from Mendoza, Argentina ($9) that was a delicious bargain. It was rich, dry and ripe with fruit. Next up was Bibb lettuce and endive salad ($14) which was large enough to share. I took my time savoring each bite. The greens were tossed with sweet red onion, sliced cherry tomatoes, spicy cashew nuts, chunks of Roquefort cheese, thinlysliced Granny Smith apples napped in a red wine vinaigrette with fresh herbs. The salad was perfectly seasoned. The test of a fine chef is roast chicken. It is a classic French bistro/brasserie dish of which I never ever tire. You can easily undercook or overcook it. Levin’s masterpiece ($23) earned gold stars. He roasted the breast with salt, pepper and fresh herbs. The wingtip was still attached. The chicken sat atop a bed of garlic spinach. I ate every bit of it. Roast chicken is served with mashed potatoes. I asked Amy if I could substitute the fingerling potatoes sautéed in duck fat for the mashed variety. The potatoes arrived in an oval-shaped

cast iron ramekin and were so piping hot that I could see steam arising from them. What followed was culinary nirvana. I render duck and chicken fat at home. All they required was a little sprinkling of salt. My dinner was so generous, I toted half of it home in a pretty red plastic Rouge bag. Service was as impeccable as the food. Amy and Sam brought me a second roll and kept my water glass filled. They have regular patrons and they take good care of them. The only qualm I have is the space is too dark. There is a flashlight kept behind the bar which I had to use several times. So did a number of customers. Because it is a shoebox-size gem, the decibel level easily soars. At least the music was soft jazz and standards. After such a scrumptious meal, I am
counting the days before I dine at Adsum. You might be wondering why I dined alone at Rouge. Every once in a Purim, I enjoy the dining alone experience. Besides, everyone I called was busy that evening. Edward had meetings scheduled. They missed a fine dining experience all around. Three extraordinary tips of the toque to Rouge. SPR

(Braised Kale with Bacon)
Ingredients:
1 pound of kale, approximately two medium heads, remove outer leaves if damaged or discolored, and cut off the bases of the stems 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves of garlic, peeled 1/2 cup of pancetta or bacon, cut into strips Salt, to taste 1/4 teaspoon of crushed hot red pepper, or to taste
Directions: Wash the kale leaves twice in cold water and drain. Cut crosswise into 1-inch strips. Heat the oil in a wide heavy skillet over medium. Whack the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and toss into the oil. Stir in the bacon and cook, stirring until the bacon and garlic are light golden, about 4 minutes. Stir as many kale leaves into the skillet as will fit comfortably. Cook, stirring, until wilted enough to make room for more kale. Continue adding the kale, a handful at a time, until all of it is in the skillet. Season lightly with salt and the red hot pepper. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. If all the liquid in the pan evaporates and the greens begin to stick to the pan, sprinkle a tablespoon or two of water over them. Taste the greens and season with additional salt and red pepper if needed. Serve immediately. Serves six.
Note from Phyllis: We think of kale as a winter green but the kale now in the market is fresh and tasty.

Sum mmer means there is a fresh crop of seasonal vegetables ready to eat. Highlight them in side dishes from Lidia Bastianich’s “Italian-American Kitchen.”
Note from Phyllis: Lemon juice or any vinegar can be substituted for the balsamic vinegar. I recently purchased sherry vinegar from Spain and red wine vinegar from France while shopping at Claudio’s in the Italian Market.
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I july 22, 2010
y friend and cookbook author Lidia Bastianich cooks every dish with care. She insists on using the freshest in-season ingredients she can find. Her introduction to the chapter “contorni” in Lidia’s “Italian-American Kitchen” sums up how she feels about authentic Italian cucina, especially where side dishes are concerned. When I begin to cook, vegetables figure as prominently in the list of ingredients as meat, fish or poultry — if not more so. I personally like to cook with vegetables — and to eat them — but my practice goes beyond personal choice. Not only are vegetables used as contorni — side dishes — but one look at the antipasto, soup or pasta chapters will show you they are a major consideration in other dishes as well. Summer is high season for local vegetables. For weeks I have been purchasing Jersey asparagus and produce grown on Pennsylvania farms. My herb garden is brimming with fragrant lavender, basil, Thai basil, Italian flat leaf parsley, French thyme, oregano and marjoram. Even if a recipe does not call for fresh herbs, I snip some from my garden, wash it thoroughly and snip it into a dish. Here are recipes for summer contorni from Lidia’s “Italian-American Kitchen.”

YOU NEED TO KNOW
Meet Cleopatra, this one-year-old female pit bull mix was found by our Humane Law Enforcement officers in a basement. She is so sweet, but very shy. When Cleo came to the Pennsylvania SPCA, she was so nervous about her new surroundings that she would not even come out of her kennel. But after a week of working with our Behavior Team, Cleo is learning to like walks. She’s even warming up to petting. Cleopatra loves other dogs and would likely do well in a home with a canine brother or sister. But due to Cleopatra’s shy personality, we prefer that she go to a home without young children. So if you think that you have room in your home for Cleopatra, come down to the Pennsylvania SPCA and meet her today.

No words we write could ever say how sad and empty we feel today. Why did you have to go away. Why wasn’t it right for you to stay. What we’re suffering seems so unfair Our love for you will always be there Michael you will always be the most important part of our memories. A thousand words won’t bring you back I know because I tried. Neither will a thousand tears, I know because we cried. Now you’re with the angels up above and they will give you all their love. So rest in peace our boy so dear because all your memories we will have forever near. It’s been five years since you left us. And not a day goes by that you are sadly missed and loved.

“I’ve been playing well this summer, so when coach told me, I knew I was ready for the intense competition,” —Antonio “Scoop” Jardine on playing for the USA Select team

F
ollowing this week, Antonio “Scoop” Jardine and Marcus Morris are hoping to prove what happens in Vegas does not have to stay in Vegas. The two soon-to-be juniors are partnering with 18 college standouts to form the 2010 USA Basketball Men’s Select team. This group has spent the week engaging in training sessions with the USA Basketball Men’s National team, a squad featuring 21 NBA stars, including Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala. For Jardine, a guard for Upsate New York-based Syracuse University, andd Morris, a power forward for the Uni-versity of Kansas, putting their talentss against those of superstars offers endlesss possibility for growth. “It’s an honor to be a part of this team,”” Jardine, who prepped at Ss. NeumannnGoretti, 1736 S. 10th St., said Tuesday via ia phone. Hailing from the 1800 block of South Taylor Street, the 6-foot-2 speedster learned of his selection July 8 through Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, who also chairs the USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team Committee. Jardine’s involvement adds another plus to an already promising summer. In June, he participated in the CP3 Elite Guard Camp in North Carolina, a gathering that New Orleans Hornets allstar point guard Chris Paul hosts. “I’ve been playing well this summer, so when coach told me, I knew I was ready for the intense competition,” Jardine said. Playing in the Big East Conference, he could author a book on fierce action. This past season, he returned from an injury to his left leg that cost him the whole ’08’09 campaign. In 35 games, he averaged 9.1 points and 4.3 assists, with highs of 26 points against the University of California and nine assists against Robert Morris University and St. Francis (N.Y.) College. His efforts garnered him the Sixth Man of the Year Award from The Sporting News and resulted in 30 wins for the Orange, one
week atop toe Coaches’ Poll and a NCAA Tournament regional semifinals appearance where they lost to eventual runners-up Butler University. “I arrived here Sunday and went right to id pace practicing,” he revealed of the rapid of the week. Monday brought a private training session for Jardine among his college comrades, with the other weekdays calling for clashes with their elder ballers. “It’s been intense. I have had some soreness in my knees and thighs, but I have never experienced anything like this,” Jardine said. “I get to see how the pros work and what they go through.” AN ENCOUNTER WITH Denver Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups has delighted Jardine the most so far. “He’s one of my favorite players, and I learned that he knows about me,” the 21-year-old said. “Carmelo [Anthony] forces him to watch our games since he went to Syracuse, too,” The Nuggest star led Syracuse to the ’03 title.
Over the week, Jardine has decided not to focus on individual accolades. “I’m here to help the big guys get where they need to go.” Morris voiced similar goals. “I want to help these guys to win championships,” the 6-foot-8 product of Prep Charter, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., said. Morris learned of his selection from coach Bill Self in June. His participation gives his summer three prominent confidence boosters. Late last month, he trekked to Chicago for the Amar’e Stoudemire Skills Camp, named after the New York Knicks’ top offseason acquisition. Earlier this month, he joined the LeBron James Skills Academy, named after former Cleveland Cavaliers stud who recently signed with the Miami Heat, in Akron, Ohio. “I am really enjoying the week. I’m getting to be around the players and to know
them as more than competitors,” Morris, whose twin Markieff also plays for Kansas, said. In his sophomore season, Morris averaged 12.8 points and 6.1 rebounds. His highs we were 26 points against Lehigh University in the Jayhawks’ NCAA Tournament opener and 11 rebounds against Oakland University and the t University of Nebraska. Earning second-team All-Big 12 1 honors, he helped his team to a 33-3 record. The Jayhawks spent 14 weeks at No. 1 yet fell in the second se round of the NCAA Tournament m to the University of Northern Iowa. Iow With the Jayhawks’ big guns Cole Co Aldrich, Sherron Collins and Xavier Xav Henry departed for the NBA, Morris Mo figures to be a beast this season for the ’08 champions, but he is t not thinking of himself this week. “T “This week isn’t for me though I th am thrilled to be picking up an idea of where wher my game is,” Morris said. His attitude should mesh with those of the NBA’s representatives. The camp concludes Saturday with the 2010 USA conclu Basket Basketball Showcase, a Blue-White intra-sq intra-squad game on the campus of the Univer University of Nevada, Las Vegas. IIn A August the professionals will compete in the inaugural World Basketball Festival. Other August action will involve games against Lithuania, Spain and Greece. Those contests will prepare the team for the 2010 FIBA (International Basketball Association) World Championship from Aug. 28 to Sept. 12. The winner of the tournament, with Turkey as the host nation, will win an automatic berth in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Jardine and Morris could potentially end up on the National Team that will compete for a spot in the ’16 Olympics, but neither is looking that far ahead. “I wouldn’t mind playing for the USA again,” Morris said. “We’ll see,” Jardine said. “We’ll see.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

July 19 ruising down 76, drivers are greeted by a Hunt for the Heisman billboard for Temple University. Heisman? Interesting. From the team that couldn’t put together a win for the life of them a few years back. The billboards have always existed, with somewhat ironic sadism, touting the exploits of the Temple football team, mostly
when their major skill was losing. And then along came Bernard Pierce, the running back that helped move Temple to a winning record team in 2009. Other than the overt shamelessness of the Heisman campaign, as it were, it got me thinking about the whole idea of the Heisman. Is it really something that should or even can be campaigned for? I liked to think it wasn’t, but I suppose if you say Heisman enough times people in Pennsylvania may begin to believe it. SPR
