High ‘hoops’ Local difference makers and athletes join for “The Final Four Tournament� youth program at Sacks Playground

By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

S

outhwark residents say basketball superstar Lionel Simmons used to dribble on the courts of Sacks Playground years ago.

Now, several decades later at the 4th and Washington playground, a coalition of local organizations is working toward fostering the next great pro player – or perhaps simply instilling the dream.

On July 16, “The Final Four Tournament� youth basketball program, which runs through Aug. 14, kicked off at the Dickinson Narrows public space. The league, which strives to cultivate not only athleticism but optimism in South Philly children, is the summation of groups from across the tri-state area, including Grind 4 Greatness, I Am Focused Finest, Love Kingdom Fellowship Church, John’s Water Ice and Optimum Health Group in Delaware. Sponsored by the Community to Rebuild Sacks Playground, or CRSP, the program is being funded by Councilman Mark Squilla.

But the camp was the idea of college student Jalil Myers, who remembers, in an attempt to ease his mind, coming by Sacks courts late at night to shoot some hoops. “Living in this neighborhood,â€? Myers said. “I experienced a lot of things ‌ me just being a life representation of it – what you can be after what you’ve been through. I have a lot to spread to the kids.â€?

Local adolescents and children participate in the new youth basketball program, ‘The Final Four Tournament,’ based at Sacks Playground on 4th and Washington streets. The month-long program, organized by a series of local leaders, including coaches and ambassadors with the Harlem Globetrotters and 76ers, strives to not only teach the youth about athletics but also life skills.

Pressure

I

got out of bed feeling really stressed out this morning. It’s the day after Helsinki or as I call it “Helstinky.” Poor Helsinki, Finland. A nice place, I hear. Green parks. Friendly laidback people. But forevermore Helsinki will be known as the place where Donald J. Trump took a public dump on America.

Helsinki has now become another Munich. Munich ought to be known for its cheerful beer gardens and its charm. Instead, it’s known as the place wherew Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler. Trump is today’s Chamberlain. Without the umbrella. And Trump’s double negative apology.B I’m thinking we ought tot replace HAIL TO THE CHIEF with THE VOLGAp BOATMAN. Hey, Trump isn’t the only reason my nerves areI getting the best of me. Without Trump, there still would be SEPTA. I’m not about to throw SEPTAp drivers under the bus. Overall, I like SEPTA drivers, except the one that blew through a bus stop at 19th and Lombard while my wife and I weret standing there. Then stopped for us after the driver made the traffic light. Then moved on without us when she saw that we couldn’t cross the street against the light. I like most SEPTA riders too, although I confess that I could live without the ones who feel the need to devour a fast food meal to stave off “starvation” during their 20-minute trip.

No, what I really find stressful about SEPTA is that I never know where the bus will take me.

There are detours and detours to the detours. You get about a 15-second notice from the driver before your bus is off to parts unknown. As a rider, I am forced to do a quick mental calculation to fig-h ure out when I have to depart the bus. Anyone that knows me understands that quick mental calculations about the location of streets in Philadelphiaw are not my forte. Riding a transit bus should not bet an exercise in existentialism. p I’ve always felt pressured by modern life, although I’m thinking the Colonists had to worry about when the British were coming. We have this conceit that modern life is something special because WE are living it. You feel pressured too, I’m sure. But your pressure isn’t as important as my pressure because I’ve been taught from birth that I am the most important person in the world. It’s that belief that prevents insecurity, we’re told by “pop” psychiatrists. Feed the ego. And most of us are well-fed in that department. So be forewarned, this column is about ME feeling pressured, not you. You can commiserate, even self-identify.

That’s what we columnists aim for.

Bike lawyer offers safety tips for Philadelphia cyclists

By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

S

tuart Leon, a Philadelphia lawyer who specializes in bicycle crashes, hosted a bike safety meeting at Performance Bicycle in Pennsport last Wednesday night, where he gave tips on bicycle safety. “We talk to bicycle drivers,� Leon said. “We should really be talking to drivers.�

That’s because there’s a number of laws, Leon said, that pertain more to drivers than bicyclists.

But it’s still helpful for bicyclists to know them too.

For instance, according to Leon, when drivers pass bicyclists on the road, they must allow four feet of clearance between the car and the bicyclist.

If you’re driving on a two-way street, the laws stipulates that drivers can even swerve into the opposite lane to give a bicyclist the necessary four feet of clearance. Additionally, Leon said, the law states “you can’t turn in such a manner that you interfere with a bicycle rider,� including right turns at intersections, where it’s all too common for bi-

cyclists to get turned into by cars. Unfortunately, he told the attendees of the meeting that drivers often don’t use turn signals, which can often prevent such accidents from occuring.

If a collision occurs between a bicyclist and a car, Leon said to make sure to get the car’s license plate number and a cell phone if possible. “The ambulance guys, the EMTs – it’s not part of their job description to write a police report or investigate the crash,� he said.

If bicyclists have issues with businesses around the city placing signs in bike lanes, Leon suggests reporting it to 311 or talking to a city councilman. “You’re allowed in the door and they’ll talk to you about it,� he said. “And they seem willing to do something about it or at least talk about doing something about it.�

Leon frequently handles cases regarding bicycle injuries related to trolley tracks, getting “doored� by people exiting their vehicles and bicycle injuries caused by ditches and holes in streets.

MESH: Diagnosis stalls business

<<Continued from page 4 According to Dewey, Grabowski was a civil engineer by trade. For obvious reasons, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer working, and the only income he has is from Social Security disability, which is less than a quarter of what he used to make as a civil engineer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So everything changes,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a house, we have a mortgage, we have a business.â&#x20AC;?

Even before Grabowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis, Dewey and Grabowski have always been unimpressed with the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health-care system. Going through Grabowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation confirmed her suspicions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how terrible health care in this country

South Philly class of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;68 set for 50th reunion The 1968 class of South Philadelphia High School will be holding its 50th reunion on Friday, Oct. 19, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Water Fall Room.

Dewey appealed the insurance companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denials and won both times. But still, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the insurance companies do really scandalous things,â&#x20AC;? she said.

But the good news is the insurance company (eventually) approved Grabowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to participate in the trail. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of seeing if he gets in.

Dewey is still hoping for the best. Hopefully, Grabowski will make it into treatment and everything will work out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, it has to,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to work out.â&#x20AC;?

Mifflin Square Park in store for major revitalization ‘Making Room for Everyone’ master plan the brainchild of nearly 1,000 locals, including more than a dozen organizations

By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

F

rom multicolored seating to sushi-filled food trucks, Whitman dwellers may notice new aspects popping up around Mifflin Square Park.

But, rainbow benches and California rolls are merely the start to a multi-year revitalization project mapped out for the South Philly green space.

The “Making Room for Everyone” master plan, which was spearheaded in 2016 by Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Associations Coalition, or SEAMAAC, a local immigrant and refugee alliance, has been the ongoing product of more than a dozen local organizations and stakeholders, including Councilman Mark Squilla, Friends of Mifflin Square Park, Whitman Council, Inc., LoMo, United Communities Southeast Philadelphia, Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia, Bhutanese American Organization, Parks and Recreation, Philadelphia Water Department, Mural Art Program Restored Space initiatives and the 3rd Police District.

“I think, we’re going to come out with a better result when there’s more voices and more viewpoints, because we can’t see everything,” said Andy Toy, director of development and communications for SEAMAAC. “None of us have the full picture.”

Along with an initial grant from the William Penn Foundation, the undertaking plans to receive the majority of its assets through Mayor Jim Kenney’s Rebuild initiative, funded by the Philadelphia Beverage Tax. Total costs are projected between $2 million to $4 million, according to project stakeholders.

Amid this colossal insight of nearly 1,000 individuals, key brainstorming derived from the park’s immediate residents – one of the most diverse demographics in South Philly.

“This park is a key location within the neighborhood where SEAMAAC does a lot of its work,” Toy said. “It really is the epicenter of immigration and refugee communities that we work with in South Philadelphia.”

Serving as a multicultural meeting

GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

Mifflin Square Park, located between Wolf and Ritner and 5th and 6th streets, is undertaking a massive revitalization project called “Making Room for Everyone.” Started by SEAMAAC in 2016, the master plan, which includes green infrastructure projects, sports facilities and more, is the product of input from nearly 1,000 people from the community. cially important to preserve, not only for Asian immigrants and refugees but other existing members of the community, which includes diverse demographics of white, Asian, Hispanic or Latino, African American and other populations.

Considering records of racial violence in the park, like a shooting rampage that unfolded among gangs in fall 2015, SEAMAAC and its partners thought it was especially crucial to encompass the thoughts of all local residents while drafting a concept design for the park.

during the RFP process, as eventually Hector Design Service from Newark was chosen for the task. “(Hector) had a very strong sense of understanding immigrant communities, communities of color, low-income communities, figuring out ways to engage people,” Toy said.

Breaking language barriers, Hector used items such as Legos and other objects to allow non-English speaking adults and children to express what they’d like to see – or what they feel is lacking – in the park.

After nearly two years of collecting

down the most popular commonalities, including the installation of bathrooms and water fountains, designated quiet spaces, sports facilities and non-convoluted exits and entrances, which have often been corners of conflict.

“There was a lot of discussion about looking at the edges of the park in terms of the history of it being, sometimes, a point of strife,” said Damon Rich of Hector at a recent Mifflin Park Square project meeting.

While “super-seating” – or oversized chairs – sports programs and the SoPhiE food truck, which features immigrant

gamut of other elements has surfaced in the latest concept design of the project, such as meditation areas, peace paths, nature paths, hard courts, stage and storytelling areas and adult exercise areas.

While most of these features will be built upon funding availability, the first definite phase of the plan surrounds the addition of green infrastructure from the water department. Specifically, a rain garden will occupy 5th and Wolf while underground storage basins are planned for the other three corners. Shaded sitting plazas will be built on top of these basins.

These sustainable pieces, which are part of PWD’s 25-year Green City, Clean Waters initiative, are set to break ground in Mifflin over the next yearand-a-half.

Since the concept design has been finalized, now the team is focusing on a “call to action,” informing as many residents as possible, including circulating a petition to neighbors urging the implementation of the project.

“Now that we have this, we’ll look for the resources and the political strength to push it forward and make it, eventually, a set of construction documents, pull down a capital budget and put it in the ground,” Rich said.

Concurrently, the team is waiting on action from the Rebuild initiative, which plans to designate $300 million in bonds to these neighborhood projects, according to the city. Considering Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s recent upholding of the soda tax, these revenues could be available sooner rather than later, but as of now, the project does not have an official end date.

In the meantime, SEAMACC and its partners strive to keep planning ongoing while not losing sight of its cornerstone.

“We’re really about being welcoming to all but making sure that the people who live here are really going to benefit,” Toy said. “To us, the social justice side of things is that we want to improve it but we’re not improving it for others. We’re trying to make sure that the people that live here really get something good.”

Couple’s cancer fight puts vintage shop in limbo

By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

A

fter spending almost half an hour finding a parking spot, Michelle Dewey finally strolls into Mesh Vintage, the clothing store she owns located on East Passyunk Avenue, at about 1:15 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon. She’s ready to talk.

“I have no problem talking about it,” she said. “I want my customers and I want the world to know that a 40-year old man can get diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. So if anything, I want to raise awareness about that as well.”

Mesh Vintage opened about threeand-a-half years ago. Dewey had a cushy corporate job working for BMW. She used the money she made there to buy lots of vintage clothes. Too many vintage clothes. Too many vintage clothes for somebody who didn’t own a vintage clothing shop, at least. So she opened one.

“I knew I wanted to be in Philadelphia,” said Dewey, who lives in Wilmington, Delaware. “I narrowed it down to three neighborhoods, and then I ultimately settled in East Passyunk.

Surprisingly because the parking here – even though it’s terrible – was better than my other options.”

Dewey has been collecting vintage clothes since she was 13 years old.

She’s 40 now. Her obsession was likely triggered by working at Goodwill in high school, which was her first job.

“I was a glorified hoarder, basically,” she said, referring to her storage units and closets full of vintage clothes. “I had to quit my job and open a store and unload most of this stuff because it was crazy how much inventory I had. I decided to hang up my selling cars job and open a vintage clothing store.”

Things went well for the first year and a half, until April 2017. That’s when her husband, Casey Grabowski, was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. They’ve been together since they were both 19.

Unfortunately, Grabowski was recently taken off chemotherapy. It wasn’t working. The only option left is to get into a trial for pancreatic cancer patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

“Getting into a trial is incredibly dif-

So if they call and say ‘we need blood work today,’ you literally need to drive to Johns Hopkins to get that blood work. If they want to biopsy him, we have to go immediately.”

For Grabowski, there’s a screening process of multiple tests that has to be completed before they’ll even accept him into the trial. That’s the stage he’s at now.

“My phone never leaves my side,” Dewey said. “If they call today and say we have to go back down, I have to close immediately and go. And that’s just to see if they let us into the trial at this point, because a trial is our only op-

tion left to treat this disease. There are no other options left for us.”

As a result, Dewey is constantly going back and forth between her home in Wilmington, the hospital in Baltimore and her business in Philadelphia.

Which means her store’s hours are inconsistent, to say the least.

“Sometimes I hear people walk by and they go ‘she’s never open,’ and I just want to chase them down the street and say ‘I want to be open! I’m trying to save my husband’s life though,’” she said. “I think, if they really knew the whole story, obviously anybody would be sympathetic, and once they hear the story they get it and they’re completely understanding.”

This has actually been the case for the most part. Lucky for Dewey, her store’s core demographic skews young enough to be active on social media.

Dewey posts her store’s hours for the week every Wednesday (the one constant is that her store is always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so her week essentially runs from Wednesday through Sunday).

The medical costs Grabowski has encountered have been staggering.

The largest bill Dewey has gotten was $26,000. Every day, Dewey said, she sees four-figure medical bills. Even though Grabowski and Dewey have great insurance (which they pay $1,500 for on top of the medical costs), Dewey,

who handles the financials, said “the insurance company just looks at you like you’re a number.” She’s spent large portions of her time fighting the insurance company over covering this or covering that.

One of the main ways the couple gets by is through a GoFundMe page (www.gofundme.com/casey-has-fingcancer) Dewey started two months after Grabowski was diagnosed. As of this writing, the GoFundMe page has raised $70,460. Some 787 people have donated so far. But it’s still not enough.

“The cost is never-ending,” Dewey said. “And that’s just the bills from the hospital.”

GRASP set to host hot dog fundraiser Aug. 5 cookout from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. set to aid nonprofit

By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

R FINAL FOUR: Groups host youth program

<<Continued from page 1 Myers, who after engaging in an intense basketball program at a local charter school, is now working toward his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business from Rosemont College, coined the phrase “Grind 4 Greatness” a few years back. While the saying initially sparked a series of hashtags and T-shirts, the concept eventually morphed into not only a local brand but mentality for local youth.

Running a series of fundraisers and events this year, “Grind 4 Greatness” or G4G, has donated hundreds of school bags to children, as well as hosting art programs to showcase local talent.

“It’s a brand that motivates and encourages the youth to be consistent and hard working and be dedicated,” Myers said.

“Because, when you think of G4G, you’re going to think of ‘Grind for Greatness’ – continue to work hard towards whatever you’re doing.”

But its latest endeavor – the tournament – tackles a subject Myers knows well. With assistance from CRSP, Myers connected with brothers and coaches

Mike and Joe Richmond – two regional juggernauts in youth basketball, as collectively the men have worked as coaches and ambassadors with the Harlem Globetrotters, 76ers and Delaware Blue Coats.

The brothers have a longstanding history with Sacks Playground, as their family grew up not far from the park in South Philly.

“This is our neighborhood,” Joe Richmond said. “This is where we came to every day. All of our roots are right here. … With us being here, we’re showing that we grew up in these same neighborhoods.

It all started here.”

In 1992, Joe, now based in Delaware, founded Basketball Incorporated, which later morphed into the “I Am Focused Finest” AAU Basketball Program – an organization for young male and female athletes to experience competitive basketball through skills, drills, training, tournaments and league play, according to its website.

Joe Richmond, who says he’s been to more than 35 countries and every U.S. state twice, has coached basketball all over the world. Yet, he could not miss the opportunity to mentor at Sacks – his

home.

A major life skill Joe Richmond hopes the children take away from the camp is the fostering of new friendships, as half of the tournament features young players from Delaware leagues.

“We live in different communities but we all wanna do the same thing – play sports and have fun and grow and build relationships. … Everybody that comes on the court doesn’t look like you, not built like you, not from your family, may not go to your school, but you all have the same goal,” Joe Richmond said.

Through mid-August, games are held every Monday and Wednesday at 5 p.m. and welcome all community members to Sacks Playground. Residents can enjoy a free basketball game, books, music, water ice and more.

“It’s a good park. The courts are good, and it’s just fun,” said Kneco Hill, a 12-year-old participant in the program. “I think it’s gonna be a good league. I’m glad they made this league here because everybody likes basketball. And basketball is just fun for me. That’s why I play it a lot.”

esidents and interested potential voters are encouraged to come out to the Grassroots Advocacy for South Philadelphia Hot Dog Days of Summer Fundraiser on Sunday Aug. 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at FDR Park.

The funds raised from the event will go toward GRASP, a relatively new non-partisan political organization based in South Philadelphia that seeks to teach and encourage South Philadelphians to be more active in the city’s local political system.

“It came from a place of wanting to figure out the system and be a part of it,” said Karen DiLossi, one of a number of founders of the organization. “We’re looking at harnessing people’s power to vote and make them understand they have that power.”

DiLossi said that entails helping know when election dates are, knowing how to register to vote and connecting them with political candidates. Since forming soon after the 2016 presidential election, GRASP has held various political events, including a state representative debate, a lieutenant governor’s forum, and Q-and-A’s for both the 3rd and 5th congressional districts.

“We were doing these throughout the winter months up until May to get people excited about voting,” DiLossi said, “and to get people to understand who they’re voting for and give them an opportunity to ask a question.”

Even for political junkies such as DiLossi who vote in every election, understanding local politics can be hard.

DiLossi, who was born and raised in Southwest Philly, describes herself as a “super voter who votes every single election.” However, she never truly understood Philadelphia’s voting ward system until just last year.

“Teaching people about the wards and divisions themselves can be an effort,” she said.

Sunday’s event will raise funds for GRASP. DiLossi said the organization will use the money on things such as creating informational materials, building a website (the organization currently only has a Facebook page), and holding more events such as debates and forums.

Entry to Sunday’s event is $12 per person and $25 per family. The entry fee includes entry into a raffle for tickets to that day’s Phillies game, which starts at 1:35 p.m. that day (so you’ll likely have to leave GRASP’s event early to make it if you win the raffle). Voter registration forms will be on hand at the event. If you’re looking to get involved with GRASP, you can attend the organization’s monthly meetings at the Adobe Cafe in East Passyunk. The meetings take place on the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. For more information, contact GRASP139@outlook.com or visit facebook.com/grassrootsPHL.

GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

Last week, more than 71 residents of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, including six South Philly locals, received a total of $270,000 in college scholarships.

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

ix locals have moved one step closer to their college dreams.

The progression was made possible by the Philadelphia Housing Authority as, last week, PhillySeeds, Inc., a subsidiary of the PHA, awarded a total of $270,000 to 71 of its residents across the city – a handful of whom live in South Philly.

At their July board meeting, PHA commissioners individually honored the scholars, which included current students and other college-bound folks of all ages.

Both the number of gifts and the amount of funds given were record-

breaking figures for the PHA’s scholarship program, which totals $1.3 million that has been distributed to 324 residents since the program’s inception in 2013.

“We do this once a year, and it’s my favorite part of the job,” Kelvin A. Jeremiah, president and CEO of PHA, told SPR following the meeting. “To see these kids so excited about going to college, furthering their education, growing their training, and then PHA stepping up to the the plate to support that.”

Among 108 applications, candidates were finalized based on essays, community service, extracurricular activities, internships, recommendation letters and academic transcripts.

The PHA awarded 41 scholars with

GPAs between 3.00 and 4.00 $5,000, another 19 with GPAs between 3.00 and 3.29 received $3,000, and the final 11 with GPAs between 2.50 and 2.99 walked away with $1,000.

Scholarship money stems from PHA’s operating budget with additional funds contributed by other program supporters and vendors through Section 3 commitments.

From Community College of Philadelphia to North Carolina A&T State University, South Philly residents are en route across the country this fall.

The six residents include Amani Ball, 19, a sophomore majoring in dance at the University of the Arts; Alvina Belcher, 20, a sophomore majoring in human communications at Ship-

pensburg University; Keaira Johnson, 28, a junior majoring in ASL/English interpreting at CCP; Rayana Keel, 20, a sophomore majoring in neonatal nursing at Delaware State University; Nayyar Tenner, 19, majoring in English at North Carolina A&T State University; and Nadera Robinson, 18, a recent graduate of Mastery Thomas Charter, located on 9th and Johnson streets, who will be attending Delaware State University to major in psychology.

“The scholarship basically paid most of my tuition, so (the scholarship) helped influence my future career in a good way. … I would say ‘thank you’ to the PHA,” Robinson said. “And I want to show them that I’m going to make the best of this scholarship.”

Robinson says she is especially interested in studying the correlation between human behavior and criminal activity, hoping to land a career in the mental health field, which she says seems more realistic after receiving the $5,000 gift.

For PHA, its scholarship program represents more than money. It also fosters a path diverted from trying circumstances recipients may know well.

“We subscribe to the view that education is key,” Jeremiah said. “It is what allows our families to escape the poverty trap. … Too many of our families are trapped in poverty and that sometimes feels like it’s inescapable. Education gives those families an opportunity to escape.”

CARDELLA: Stress abounds

<<Continued from page 4 We rant about OUR problems and hope that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll either put up with us or be fooled into thinking weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually writing about yours.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that Billy Joel song â&#x20AC;&#x201C; PRESSURE. You think Billy was writing about your pressure? He knows a great gig when he sees one. Wakes up one morning. Feels stressed out. Sits down at the piano (he IS the Piano Man, you know). Writes a lyric about his jitters (like he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find someone after Christie Brinkley?). Records his rant. Sells a million copies. And waits until the next time he feels crappy, so he can complain in song and sell another million. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making slightly less than Billy Joel for writing this column, but the process is cathartic. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost feeling less stressed already. Almost.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape the stress of city life. But living in the suburbs is like you already died and wound up on a golf course for all eternity at a hole that you just keep bogeying. So, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong. I like the buzz of the city. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving me crazy are the sounds of construction everywhere. Is it my imagination or is every other street torn up?

If Walt Whitman were around today, he would not have been able to write I HEAR AMERICA SINGING because pneumatic concrete drills wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve prevented him from hearing America singing. Did Philadelphia get bombed while I was

asleep and have to be rebuilt from the ground up?

Where the hell was I during the blitz? This cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buzz has become a roar. What I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand is how the hell â&#x20AC;Ś with all these streets being fixed â&#x20AC;Ś are there still so many potholes? And the new construction? Every new home and apartment costs half a million bucks and up. If Philadelphia is one of the poorest cities in the country, who are the folks buying all these properties that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nap at my swim club without hearing pneumatic concrete drills pounding away at the streets outside. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling like Don Knotts. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stressed!

Despite my best efforts, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten sucked into the electronic age. Computers. Smart phones.

Smart TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Tablets. They used to say the only sure things in life are death and taxes. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another one. Sometime during the next 24 hours of my life, one of my electronic devices will suddenly malfunction. My computer froze the other day while I was reading an item online from some political magazine. I thought that only happened when you visit a porn site. Look, if my computerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get a virus, I want it to be because some hot babe on a web cam is telling me how irresistible she finds my understanding of BEOWULF. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling p-p-pressure!

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THE REAL SECRET TO SUCCESS?

Mi-Palâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deli

Adam Ellis, D.O. Healing South Philly Patients Every Day What made you decide to become a family practice doctor?

I have many physicians in my family, so you could say it was already in my blood as a child.

When I was in elementary school I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything more valuable or interesting to me than a career in medicine. I liked getting to the root of a problem and so I trained in both psychiatry and general surgery as a resident.

I was given extra training in family medicine since I wanted to go into practice for myself.

What is your personal care standard for your patients?

Care with me is always personal with only me as the doctor. There are no other people between me and the patient. No students or physician assistants are in my ofďŹ ce, so my patients get true continuity of care. This has been my standard for over twenty years. I offer house calls, visiting my patients right in the comfort and privacy of their own home. This is something only a private practitioner can offer their patients. I am happy to do it since I really enjoy getting to know the patients and their families.

South Philly is very family oriented- -itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a special place and has wonderful families I have had the chance to care for.

Any special areas of expertise?

I have a special interest in treating knee and shoulder pain; by using joint injections I have helped patients decrease their joint pain and maintain their usual lifestyle until surgery is required.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and attended both the University of Pennsylvania and La Salle University before going on to medical school.

Hobbies? During undergraduate summers I sold art as it was one of my interests as well as playing golf. Like most Philadelphians I also enjoyed Ventnor growing up.

What are your hopes and dreams for the future?

My hope is to spend the rest my career practicing in South Philly as my patients have really added color and richness to my life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been twenty years and continues to be a rewarding ride.

I have admitting privileges and am on staff at both. Jefferson and Methodist hospitals.

And I continue to make house calls. My staff and I welcome new patients to our ofďŹ ce.

Please give us a call if you would like to schedule an appointment: 215-334-2550

Q: Tommy, tell us how you got your start?

Tommy: I worked for a caterer at a young age and became passionate about the food business. I took other jobs but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be as passionate as I was working with food. I decided to follow my passion and open my own deli and catering business.

Homemade Chicken Cutlets Homemade Meatballs Roasted Chicken Platters

Q: What made you want to get into the business? Tommy: My passion for the food business and I was given the opportunity to bring a new product into the Philadelphia area, Boars Head Cold Cuts. When I ďŹ rst started I had to drive to Brooklyn, New York every week to pick up the Boarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head deli meat myself, there was no distributor back then. But it was worth it. Boarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head meats are low sodium and low preservatives.

Q: What are some of the things you enjoy most about running MiPals?

Tommy: I enjoy the relationships Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made with my customers and seeing them enjoy the food that I make.

We recently sat down with Tommy Palestino, the longtime owner of MiPals, to learn more about his business. Turns out to be a pretty simple formula for success in his case: Love what you do and have a real passion for it.

Q: When did you start?

Tommy: I opened my business in 1984.

Q: Were you always at the same location?

Tommy: Yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at the same location for 34 years.

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges you face running the business?

Tommy: The challenges I face are ensuring my customers are always happy, making sure deliveries are on time, and ensuring all my customers have a positive experience and enjoy my food.

Serving South Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tire Needs for 66 Years!

We recently sat down with Joe DeMaio, owner of Airport Discount Tires, to ask him how he got his start in business. His answer is not for your kids to hear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My teacher encouraged me at age ďŹ fteen to quit school and get into business. He told me he knew I had what it took to succeed, and I was not really excelling academically at the time.â&#x20AC;?

Well, as unconventional as this encouragement was, it turned out to be just what Joe needed to hear. He had been dreaming about running Joe DeMaio with his his own business already, with his inspiration begranddaughter Angela ing his grandfather, who came over from Italy at a young age without knowing any English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He started his own business selling ice, coal, and horse manure up and down the streets of Chester, where I grew up. He worked seven days a week, no holidays, and he succeeded. I wanted to follow in my grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps, so I started early on that path myselfâ&#x20AC;?.

Fast forward sixty-six years and here he is today, still sitting every day behind the oversized counter at Airport Discount Tires, doing what he loves to do best: ďŹ nding the best quality tires at the lowest posJoseph DeMaio, Senior sible prices for his customers. With Joe, it really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t circa early 1900â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. business to him: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal.

You see, Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers have become his good friends over the years. He gets new customer referrals all the time from his current customers. So what does Joe enjoy about the tire business the most? He responds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like giving people great service and honest pricing. So many other tire places price with gimmicks, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buy 3, Get 1 Freeâ&#x20AC;?. And they pay more for it. Also, our pricing includes the new tire, plus the mounting, balancing and disposal of the tire for you. Most other places charge extra for that. And we give you free tire rotations every 6,000 miles for the life of the tire. Plus free ďŹ&#x201A;at repairs for the life of the tire.â&#x20AC;?

When I asked Joe if there was one thing he would like to tell the world about tires, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every tire has a tread wear rating. You need to ďŹ nd out what that number is so you can compare apples to apples.

Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that; instead, they focus on the tire brand name. Forget the name and compare tread wear ratings instead. And Take 95 South to PA 291 (exit 12 Cargo City) they can vary depending on what your driving Left onto Bartram Ave (291) Right onto needs areâ&#x20AC;?. So when in doubt about your tires, Gov. Printz Blvd., Left onto 4th Street. ask an expert like Joe DeMaio.

We are on the corner.

Throughout the years, New Jersey homeowners have been coming to Ricciardi family-owned stores for decades where we provide the paint, advice, and various services that allow people to do more with their homes and commercial establishments.

The late Joseph Ricciardi (middle) In 1970, the business transitioned to the ownership of two brothers, Walter and Robert Ricciardi, who started their own paint store in Maplewood, NJ. The business continued on with the family tradition of high-quality products at fair prices, whereby the brothers aggressively grew the company throughout New Jersey, and have recently expanded their brand into the Pennsylvania and Delaware markets yielding a total of 45 locations. Throughout the years, the company has diversiďŹ ed into three areas with them being the retail paint stores, the home design showrooms, along with an outside commercial sales team. As the company grew, it became the largest Benjamin Moore dealer in the United States and continues to expand today as well. These achievements would be extraordinary for a public company but are remarkable for Ricciardi Brothers, since we are a family-owned and private company, whose brand is continuing to open in new markets to better serve our customers.

Businesses built on good principles withstand the test of time. Fair prices, high quality, and customer care have gone a long way in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Our beliefs in these principles while putting the customer at the center of the Ricciardi Brothers experience will ensure your satisfaction as a customer for life. We encourage you to view our website as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s updated frequently. We can assist you with painting ideas, how to information, a vendor listing of products, and our special offers. At Ricciardi Brothers, we look forward to being your destination for all of your paint and related needs within your local community.

EAGLES INSIDER

Eagles set to enter training camp as defending champs

I

f you ever packed up the family and headed to West Chester University back in the 1980s and through the mid-’90s or if you made the trek up the Northeast Extension to Lehigh University for nearly two decades after that, you remember the training camp days of full contact, sweat-spraying-on-your-T-shirt feeling when summer made a special turn with Eagles football under way and with 10,000 fans in attendance enjoying every bit of it.

The Eagles moved camp from Lehigh to the team’s headquarters at the NovaCare Complex upon Chip Kelly’s arrival as head coach, so the scene is different. About 500 fans are able to watch each day there, while Lincoln Financial Field should be just about filled for the two open-to-the-public practices on Aug. 5 and Aug. 11. The old days, it ain’t. But it’s still pretty darn awesome.

And this year, as the Eagles step on the field for the first time as a full team in full pads late this week, the added attraction of being defending Super Bowl champions makes it all the more exciting.

What do you need to know about training camp this year? Here is a primer …

Dave

Spadaro

Camp’s big story It starts with quarterback Carson Wentz, of course, and his recovery from knee surgery. Can he win the race against time and get back on the field

for the regular season opener against Atlanta on Sept. 6? He will take some reps in camp, but how many is unknown. It’s highly unlikely that Wentz will play in the preseason games. But there are other key players coming back from injury, including left tackle Jason Peters, running back Darren Sproles, middle linebacker Jordan Hicks, defensive end Brandon Graham and defensive tackle Tim Jernigan. How whole can the Eagles be for the Falcons?

Best position battles Cornerback promises to be fascinating, as the Eagles have collected a young and very talented group. Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby are the incumbent starters, but they’ll be pushed by Sidney Jones and Rasul Douglas, second-year players who the Eagles think can really come on this year. De’Vante

Bausby is the leader at the moment for the very important nickel cornerback job and will see competition from rookie Avonte Maddox, a fourth-round draft pick.

Biggest concern Injuries aside, the Eagles have to be keeping an eye open for help at linebacker. Nigel Bradham is suspended for the opener. Hicks is coming off an Achilles tendon injury. There is no clear-cut leader for the weakside job. Who is playing linebacker for the Eagles? While the roster is in really good shape, the Eagles don’t have any young, proven depth at safety and they’ve got some age along the talented defensive line. Also, punter is a position to watch. Cameron Johnston is the leader to replace Donnie Jones. Johnston has no NFL experience and must prove

he can be consistent as a punter and a holder on field goals.

PLAYER ON THE SPOT: How about veteran defensive end Michael Bennett here? The Eagles traded for Bennett, who still has some legal issues stemming from an alleged incident at the Super Bowl two years ago. Bennett has game, though, and assuming he fits into the locker room, he’s going to be a big help.

The outlook

The Eagles are deservedly strong contenders to go all the way again.

Health is always the No. 1 priority in the summer. If the Eagles can emerge from the preseason in good health, they’re going to be right there in the NFC. The 2018 Eagles look better on paper but, as we know, the game isn’t played on paper. This is going to be fun.
