eople traveling the lower parts of Snyder Avenue Saturday had a chance for a brush with royalty. Aside from being able to purchase traditional African garb, flags and masks, they had the opportunity to meet Donald Lewis, an established business leader with a dual role as Nkabomhene, or Unity King, of Agogo — a city in Ghana. Lewis appeared as part of the first annual Philadelphia Sankofa Festival — a celebration of the African cultural heritage of Africans born in the United States. The festive day commemorated the sevSee FESTIVAL page 12

isasters never discriminate. Awareness of that fact prompted about 150 residents of the Pennsport and Whitman sections of South Philadelphia to show dissent early Friday evening for the initial brown out of Engine 53, 414-16 Snyder Ave. Bellowing chants and vowing further forms of outcry, they assembled to
rebuke the City’s latest initiative to dwindle its deficit. The frustrated citizens began gathering at 5 p.m., one hour before their civil servants had to begin a 14-hour brown out. The service disruption, one of two the engine will have this month, will help the City to save nearly $3.8 million from the General Fund budget, according to Mayor Michael Nutter. While instituting the disturbances may save the City a hefty amount of overtime
compensation, the move could cause untold tragedy. “How many buckets do we need to put out a fire? How many bottles of water?” Sharon Payton asked everyone as she strolled through the crowd. The resident of the 500 block of Winton Street toted a bucket and multiple bottles of water to prove the futility of trying to retard a blaze See BROWN OUT page 9

What are your thoughts on the idea of a mosque being built near the site of Ground Zero? “I think it’s a good image to show how very equal the country is and a lot of Muslims died during those attacks, put on by criminals.” Frank Bruckner, 15th Street and West Passyunk Avenue
“My opinion is that I’m for it. I think it’s a great idea. Nobody should be judged on their religion. It’s America ain’t it?” Sandra Stinnett, 21st and Dickinson Street
“If we can practice Christianity, why can’t we practice Islam?” Winona Wesley, 22nd and Mifflin streets
“I don’t think they should. They should leave it alone and build a memorial. It’s disrespectful.” Kristin Rinick, Broad and Shunk streets Interviews by Jermar Perry Photos by Natalie Kellman

Getting priorities straight To the Editor: These station closings happen randomly and with no forethought. It’s scary and unsafe. Until someone produces a study proving that these service cuts can be undertaken safely I will continue to protest reductions in safety protection to citizens, firefighters and medics. The incident of pulling another company out of service for a community event over the weekend while another one was on a brown out after they have already closed two companies in South Philadelphia left a huge portion of the city with no fire protection and reduced medical response capabilities. The issue is priorities. Do firefighters like to attend community events? Absolutely. Would firefighters like to honor requests for charitable (even religious) appearances in our communities? Yes, but the mission is saving lives and property above everything. The City eliminated a battalion (seven companies) over a year ago and now they are closing three more companies a day all over the city. Priorities demand the remaining companies be dedicated to emergency services, to carrying out the mission. Saving lives is Local 22’s No. 1 priority and the risk of loss is that much greater if the mayor and the fire commissioner keep pretending there are fire assets to focus on anything else. That’s just putting politics above people’s lives and property. Please call the mayor and City Council and demand the services you deserve. Thank you. Bill Gault President Philadelphia Firefighters Union Local 22
Roots of love To the Editor: I was sorry to read Destinie Campanella’s (“Questioning the love,” Aug. 5) cousin’s bike was stolen. That said, either she is not a native of Philadelphia, or she doesn’t know or recall the story of the origins of our city. Philadephia was founded in the 17th century by William Penn, and he named the city Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love. I agree
many residents don’t act to live up to the city’s name, but that was a hope of Penn’s, and not the reality. We hear the translation, I guess, in the wish that its citizens will live up to the name. However, the truth is different. Rachel Garber South Philadelphia
Turning off the world To the Editor: I have had a love affair with the current and past news — mostly with television news programs and love reading newspapers and the details they both impart — but lately I have been kind of overwhelmed to a point where I must turn off the T.V. and can only skim over the newspapers because it has reached a point where I can’t take it all in anymore. I feel such annoyance and get really perturbed and flustered on way too many things that are controlled exclusively, almost dictatorially, by a mere handful representing us. It kills me to realize that most are owned completely by those on the dark and scary side of our nation. These are the people causing most if the mayhem and discord. I am having a dreadful time understanding how our president seems to be deliberately misunderstood in so many things he says and mostly by the meanspirited and usually misinformed. He said the Muslims have the right to build a mosque anywhere, anytime on any legitimate land they own, no different or special in any way as any other person or group. So what is wrong with that? I’ll tell you. You are condemning a group that believes in God just as the rest of us do, the difference being only in the name they have given God and that is it. An entire religion is being condemned because of the acts of some twisted zealots who don’t really believe in the religion of Islam and Allah, and rather use it as a means to an end. It is time to get off the backs of true believers of a peaceful and loving religion just as what I believe in Christianity. Try a little love and understanding for a change and get rid of the self-destructive emotion of stressful hatred. For a change,
applaud what is right and do not be blinded by the few. Don’t feel so secrue that because you were born in America, that your American citizenship is a done deal, and find out if there is any question of the legitimacy of legal statues of your parents citizenship. It does not have to be just crossing our borders by sneaking over them. The expiration of visa’s or work permits pretty much makes your parents illegal immigrants, and that being the case, a Republican senator wants to pass a constitutional amendment that despite being born here, you are not an American citizen. What a wonderful American party the Republicans are, don’t you think? Think very carefully next Election Day. What next? I know— tattoos on our foreheads.

police soon discovered she was indeed a man. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
A
man discovered the true gender of his girlfriend, who allegedly stabbed him and gave police a false name, last week in Newbold. A 21-year-old man flagged down police on the 1700 block of Morris Street at 1:28 p.m. Aug. 10, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. His lower left shin was bleeding. He pointed at his girlfriend, Nigera Burton and told officers she had stabbed him with a broken glass bottle on the 1700 block of South 18th Street. The two were allegedly dating for about three weeks, but were arguing when Burton allegedly threatened to kill the man, but instead sliced him with the bottle, Tolliver said. When the man went to call police, Burton is believed to have taken his cell phone, so he walked around the corner and flagged down a passing police car. The man was transported to Methodist Hospital where he received seven stitches and was released, Tolliver said. Police arrested Burton, who was still at the scene and transported him to the 1st District headquarters, 2301 S. 24th St., where detectives discovered that Burton was Herman Burton, a 22-year-old man from Southwest Philly, Tolliver said. The 21-year-old told police he was unaware that his girlfriend was a man. Burton was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, terroristic threats, robbery, theft — unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. Hermon was previously on probation for a 2006 disorderly conduct and was behind bars for 21 days in Northampton County after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in ’07, according to court documents.

Federal government officials raided a state representative’s Pennsport office and business yesterday morning. IRS agents visited state Rep. Bill Keller’s office, 1531 S. Second St., along with his sporting goods store, K O Sporting Goods, 2001 E. Moyamensing Ave., Shauna M. Frye, an IRS spokeswoman, confirmed. Frye would not elaborate on the specific
nature of the agents being there and only said they were “on official business.” The FBI also was at both locations, according to published reports. FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver did not return calls prior to press time. Keller, 59, owns the sporting goods store State Rep. with Mark G. OlkowsBill Keller ki, according the Board of Revision of Taxes website. A call to Keller’s Moyamensing office went unanswered while an employee at his Harrisburg office replied, “no ma’am, there will be no comment. Thank you,” before hanging up yesterday. Keller, who represents the 184th District, which covers mostly east of Broad Street and south of Wharton Street along with parts of Newbold and West Passyunk, is up for reelection in November when he will face Republican candidate Stephen Pico, of Lower Moyamensing. Keller has been in office since 1993 and is a ’68 graduate of Bishop Neumann High School.
Local robs fourth bank A man, who is believed to be originally from South Philly, was identified after robbing a fourth bank Saturday. Joseph DiFalco, 31, allegedly robbed a Northeast CitiBank at 9:30 a.m., according to FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver. He is also believed to have robbed Conestoga Bank, 2444 Joseph DiFalco S. Broad St. Aug. 2, a Northeast Citizens Bank July 26 and Wachovia Bank, 2227 S. Broad St., July 23. It is believed that he is originally a local, but may be staying in the Northeast now, according to Klaver. DiFalco was described as white, 5-foot5, thin to medium build, with a thin beard and tattoos on both forearms. In the most recent robbery he was wearing a brown hat, a dark T-shirt with a long grey shirt underneath and jean shorts. He has sported an array of baseball caps and sunglasses in previous robberies.

Shoot and run
An elderly man departed a Point Breeze bus station to fetch his forgotten cell phone from home, but was mugged on the way Sunday afternoon. While waiting for the 17 bus on the 1900 block of Dickinson Street at 6 p.m., a 70-year-old realized he had not remembered to bring his cell, so he decided to return home, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As he walked west on Dickinson, two men on blue 10-speed bicycles approached him. One of the men hopped off his bike and said, “stay still old head,” pointed a silver .38 caliber revolver at the man’s stomach and told his accomplice to sort through the man’s pockets, Tolliver said. The second man pulled out the man’s wallet that contained $673, an EBT card, Pennsylvania identification and a SEPTA senior citizen card. The man also stole a gold ring with a “D” surrounded by diamonds valued at $650 from his left middle finger. The first man told the man, “Don’t move. Don’t chase me or we will shoot you” before the duo fled southbound on South 19th Street, Tolliver said. The man with the gun was described as black with a dark complexion, in his early 20s, thin, 5-foot-7, 160 pounds, clean shaven and wearing a black hoody, sweatpants and sneakers while his accomplice was described as black, in his early twenties, thin, 5-foot-9, 155 pounds, with a thin mustache and wearing a black hoody, sweatpants and sneakers.

A 21-year-old was found on the 2200 block of Fernon Street with wounds to his abdomen and thighs by a relative who witnessed the shooter fleeing eastbound on Fernon at 1:15 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he entered surgery in stable condition. Another witness saw the suspect discard an object, which police later discovered was an empty 9MM black firearm, on the 1500 block of Point Breeze Avenue, Tolliver said. Ballistic evidence was recovered from the scene. The offender was described as black, 5-foot-5, thin and wearing a brownstripped hoody.

A 1st District lieutenant was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter at a RiteAid near Marconi Plaza Tuesday evening. Lt. Douglas Stanford arrived at RiteAid, 1500 W. Moyamensing Ave., at 5:40 p.m. for a security check and to sign the store’s patrol log. Upon arrival, he was informed that a man who had allegedly taken items from the store and placed them in a book bag was about to exit the store, Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. When Stanford apprehended the perpetrator and tried to cuff him, the man resisted, O’Brien said. The struggle continued outside the store where Stanford was slammed to the ground and the offender fled the scene on a red English 10-speed bike with chrome handlebars. As other officers arrived, Stanford was still on the ground and having difficulty breathing, O’Brien said. He was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania by medic in critical condition, but has since been upgraded to stable. His injuries included broken ribs and bruised lungs. Perry Martin, 42, of South Philadelphia was arrested at 3:55 p.m. yesterday at 28th and Morris streets and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, recklessly endangering another person, robbery and related charges, Captain Larry Nodiff of South Detectives said.

Strutting on a national stage A Mummers’ Fancy Brigade competed on a reality entertainment show to bring national exposure to a city tradition.
By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
A
Mummer’s main focus is gearing up for the annual New Year’s Day parade, but one group became sidetracked by the aura of a reality television series that beckoned it. The South Philly Vikings returned from Hollywood three weeks ago after competing for a chance to win $1 million and to perform at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. The group’s journey to give America an upclose look at the Mummers, ended July 28 when it was eliminated from the fifth season of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” “We knew that was going to be tough because we have people in Philadelphia who still don’t know what Mummers are,” Vikings Captain Pete D’Amato said of winning over voters. While America wasn’t captivated enough to put the Vikings through to the next round, the judges didn’t understand the Philly tradition either, members of the Fancy Brigade said during last week’s interview at their 1815 S. 11th St. clubhouse. During the group’s set July 27, judge Piers Morgan buzzed the performance less than a minute into their 90-second “Alien Invasion” piece. “Because it’s just overgrown school children in robot costumes. That’s all it is,” Morgan said as the crowd booed him. “I just see a bunch of people who don’t sing, who can’t dance very well, who are just wearing silly costumes and flashy lights. I don’t get it.” While Sharon Osbourne commended the Vikings “immense vision,” Howie Mandel was unsure what they were. “It’s amazing what you can do with tin foil and holiday lights,” he said. “It’s like an arts and crafts project on steroids, but it’s phenomenal.” Those watching from Philly seemed to be more upset about the negative comments than those on stage, D’Amato said. “We actually really didn’t let it bother us because we knew that’s [Morgan’s] job to make comments and we knew that he didn’t make sense on his comments,” the resident of 12th Street and Oregon Avenue said. The following night, the Vikings were placed in a group with 11-year-old rapper CJ Dippa and hip-hop dancer Haspop.
South Philly Vikings set the stage for the Mummers by appearing on television sets across the country on “America’s Got Talent.” P h o t o c o u r t e s y o f A m e r i c a’ s G o t Ta l e n t
With only one moving on the local group knew its time on the show was over, D’Amato said. “We just knew we weren’t passing once they said [Haspop’s] name,” he said. “He was really good and we were glad for him We’re a group from Philly that are in the Mummers Parade doing this as a hobby and we’re going against people that this is their life.” BEHIND THE SCENES in Hollywood, the Vikings were dancing as fellow contestant Harmonica Pier played “When the Saints Go Marching In.” “[Members of the crew] actually came in and made us be quiet because we were being so loud,” Sergeant-at-Arms Vince Buono said. “They ain’t seen nothing.” But viewers of the show, didn’t see the Mummers’ true colors. “They took away our identity,” D’Amato said of “America’s Got Talent.” “They wouldn’t let us show who we really are because that’s the way the show was ... They said we logistically might be too big for them they weren’t going to take us after they begged us to go for two months.” “America’s Got Talent” producers emailed the Vikings 10 times starting in January requesting that the group audition in New York City, D’Amato said. “One of the producer’s kids [had] seen it,” he said of 2010’s New Year’s Day performance. “They seen it on YouTube
and she watched it with her daughter and her daughter fell in love with it and just watched it for two or three weeks straight.” But the members didn’t agree to audition right away. “We thought it was a joke at first,” Vice President Marcus Giardino, of 12th and Dickinson streets, said. But they soon realized that there could be a positive outcome in competing on a television show that airs nationwide even with a chance that their uniqueness could be lost plus the high cost of competing — totaling $20,000 although it did not dip into parade funds and included an $8,500 grant obtained by state Rep. Bill Keller. “So after all the times saying ‘no’ we just thought it was fate that they kept asking us and then we had a meeting and we talked about it and thought this really could help the Mummers out,” D’Amato said. In April, the group transported their equipment to New York City auditioning with last year’s “Apocalypse 2110.” Mandel said yes, Osbourne and Morgan said no, but the Vikings pleaded. “We knew we wanted to get on national television one time for the Mummers,” D’Amato said. “That’s what it was about. That’s what our goal was set to be and when we knew we were on that fence, we were begging to try to get that one shot at it.” After 10 minutes, Morgan changed his mind, sending the Vikings to Las Vegas.
In Vegas the next month, the judges split the acts into three groups. “I’m afraid your journey here ends today,” Morgan said to the group consisting of the Vikings. “We decided in your case that you were so good you’re going straight to Hollywood.” The Vikings were one of first 10 acts to move on to the quarterfinals. “Yeah,” D’Amato said of the group’s reaction as he jumped up from his chair and jumped on Vikings Club Supervisor Michael Busillo, of Forrestal and Sydenham streets. “We had a really good reaction. We were surprised.” The group returned to Philly to prepare the routine in which the brigade won first place with in 2007 and would now perform in front of more than 10 million viewers. However, the stage was more than half the size of the space allocated at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and the time was three minutes shorter. “We put 80 people on the street, floats, the whole nine yards,” Buono said. “Petey and the rest of the guys had to shrink it down to a mini-version of what we do.” Before heading back out west, the Vikings practiced free of charge for three hours, three to four days a week at local venues including at Shin Karate, 709 Oregon Ave., and a friend’s warehouse near Swanson and Ritner streets. The group of 29 worked endlessly to recreate costumes and make the show as entertaining as possible even without the extensive props they would have preferred to have. “The creativity of how we use [the props] in our show tells our story ... But we didn’t want to ruin that chance to be on national television and we knew that, but we still went out there and we said they turned us into a dance crew and we dealt with it. We got on TV and did our thing and we’re proud.” Vikings members welcome America to see them perform on Mummers’ turf. “I want to send them all tickets,” the club’s president, Tom Knight, of Third and Daly streets, said. “Build another box beside the judges’ box and let them come to Philadelphia to see what the parade is like.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Amanda Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

BROWN OUT continued from page 1 without fire personnel. “How many people have to die?” she added before a light rain made a 10-minute visit. “If the City takes away our fire company, rain is what it’s going to take to keep our homes from burning,” Leroy Montrose of the 500 block of South Cantrell Street said. Having had no say in the City’s decision, members of Engine 53 and Ladder 27, which occupies the same location, interacted with the public, receiving full support for their efforts. Their endeavors and those of their comrades have become compromised since brown outs took effect Aug. 2. Of South Philadelphia’s five engines, three are experiencing halts. Beginning Aug. 3 and repeating every fifth day, Engine 24, 1200 S. 20th St., has experienced day-tour closures from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Brown outs for Engine 3, 200-10 Washington Ave., commenced on Aug. 5 and follow the same schedule as Engine 24. By the end of the month, each will have had six recesses. The Philadelphia Fire Department — the

fifth largest in the United States — constitutes 56 companies, with 23 of them subject to brown outs. During an engine’s day- or night-shift closing, personnel may find themselves traveling considerable distances to tend to a fire instead of addressing a potential inferno nearby.
THE NIGHT-TOUR BROWN out for Engine 53 kept it closed from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. Friday into Saturday and will do the same Aug. 25. According to Bill Gault, president of the Philadelphia Fire Fighters’ Union Local 22, Engine 10, 1357 S. 12th St., and Engine 49, 2600 S. 13th St., will handle
Engine 53’s calls during its gridlocks. The company concluded a call just before the rally, then transported its radios to the battalion chief’s station, 711 S. Broad St. — the location of Ladder 5. The arrival of the truck caused crowd members to chant “We need our fire station” and “Nutter’s got to go,” the latter the work of Joseph Fenuto of the 2400 block of South Sixth Street. Fenuto distributed fliers that carried messages similar to Gault’s podium remarks. “No data, study, research or expert opinions went into this decision,” Gault, who spent 2006-’09 with Engine 53, said. The decision’s purposes, according to information on the Fire Department’s website, are to redistribute personnel and to pay everyone with “straight time,” or normal shift pay. The brown-out schedule calls for three day-shift brown outs and three more night-shifts. Though it will not mean that any two South Philadelphia divisions will cease to operate on the same day, the schedule frightens those who attended, especially Gault. “Most of us have no desire for overtime. We want to be home with our families,” he said, drawing applause from a crowd with * “We haven’t many children bearing signs. ino as * mon c continued s cr next page s

“You have the power in the ballot box,” he said before fraternizing with the throng, which included a man who yelled “Billy Gault for mayor!” “Billy Gault doesn’t want to be mayor,” he responded. “Billy Gault’s just a fireman.” For those present, especially Cliff Baron, being “just a fireman” means being a hero. “I grew up thinking firefighters are heroes,” the resident of the 200 block of Mifflin Street said. “This brown-out business makes them look like zeroes.” Engine 53 has not received word on its September closures, but Mike Kane of Local 22 expects an announcement by next week. “It’s funny, though, that the first company that would go to Nutter’s house is not on brown out,” Kane said. If the company has a 12-day difference between its second and third brown-outs as it has between its first and second, residents can expect no service Sept. 6, Labor Day. That possibility is enough to convince Payton to stack up on bottled water, no matter how pointless dumping it on flames might sound. “Buy a case just in case,” she said. SPR
had a new class of firefighters in two-anda-half years. Because of retirements and injuries, we’re short about 300 people. You have to understand that this isn’t a job; it’s a calling. We do this out of love.” Gault also discussed the City’s promise that brown outs would not jeopardize any lives. On the first day of the schedule change, Nutter described concerns of more deaths and longer response times as “unnecessary hysteria.” “Tell that to the family that lost their child,” Gault shouted, referring to an Aug. 7 West Philadelphia fire that claimed a 12-year-old autistic boy. The first-in company for the blaze, Engine 57, was on a brown out that night. According to the Philadelphia Fire Department’s website, the City used a number of factors to decide which companies’ hours to slash. Some included the capability of surrounding firehouses to respond to blazes in a company’s normal coverage zone, response times and workload based on number of calls or “runs” for fire and emergency medical service incidents. Gault considers the whole issue a betrayal of trust. He encouraged citizens to fulfill their civic duties by making calls and voting.

FESTIVAL continued from page 1 enth anniversary of the Agogo Cultural Center, 2038 S. Fifth St., and the 15th anniversary of Lewis’ ascendancy to the Stool, or throne, of the city with a population of about 28,000. In its mission statement, the center claims it is “a bridge that reconnects Africans born in America to their families and the culture of their Ancestral Motherland.” It also promotes the restoration of a lifestyle enabling people to establish themselves as “divine beings in mind, body and spirit.” To do so, it implores the talents of a Council of Elders, a Queen Mother and Lewis, who resided on the 600 block of Marshall Street and the 500 block of Snyder Avenue before moving to the East Oak Lane section of the city. In his regal service, Lewis goes by the title “Nana Kofi Tuuda.” “‘Nana’ means ‘chief’ or ‘king,’ ‘Kofi ’ means ‘male born on a Friday’ and ‘Tuuda’ is the name of the previous king,” Lewis noted at the center’s entrance. The menu featured a mixture of raw and cooked food from noon through 5 p.m. For his duties, Lewis prepared for 13 years, receiving guidance from Nana Akuoko Sarpong, Agogo’s Paramount King. Ghanaian dignitaries from all along the East Coast congregated to honor Lewis and his mission to have ancestral roots become prominent in the lives of his community members. “Many of today’s Africans in America lack cultural identity,” Lewis said prior to changing from his civilian clothes into a purple and lavender Kente cloth and leading the procession that began the afternoon’s second half. “Our outreach is designed to help them to understand African culture generically.” He added the center does not promote only awareness of West Africa, the geographic locale of Ghana. Advocating for full embracement of cultural ties has motivated Lewis since his installation Aug. 12, 1995. The Sankofa Festival website states “the occupants of the Stool must be God and our ancestors’ representatives on earth.” The holder of the Stool works with the Council of Elders to serve people, never claiming it rules them. “I was recommended,” Lewis said of his candidacy for attainment of the Stool. Candidates come to the forefront either through recommendation or their connection to the dominant female bloodline. “Women tend to have more power in Ghanaian society,” Lewis, who counts the Queen Mother, Sister Jewel Ali, as his Stool spiritual counterbalance, said. REGARDLESS OF STATUS, everyone entering the center received a Ghanaian greeting of

before the procession, Mona Gable of the 700 block of Wolf Street seemed enthralled with everything. “I’m Polish, but I love all culture. The drum ensemble that greeted the king amazed me,” she said of the Universal Dance and Drum Ensemble that also welcomed about two dozen dignitaries. “I wish my daughter had come. She’s partial to princesses, but a king is not too shabby.” Lewis is not looking to be glamorous or famous, but he does hope his quest for cultural continuance reaches able ears and humble hearts. “People have village-to-village responsibilities in Agogo,” Lewis said of the area that claims Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as its sister city. “We are looking to make Wolf to Mifflin, Fifth to Eighth streets a village.” Many from Lewis’ planned village capped the festival with an evening banquet at Belmont Mansion. “So many areas of South Philadelphia have embraced the cultures of their residents,” Lewis said, noting Italians and Southeast Asians as the leaders in cultural integrity. “We need to invest our heart, spirit, time and resources to get back to ours.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Christine Mello and Ben Hemsley spent part of the summer in the City of Lights where they learned about music, did a little sightseeing and tasted some fine food.
Two Whitman residents traveled to the origins of their craft for a monthlong intensive in Paris. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
S
outh Philadelphia is 3,705 miles from Paris, France. The distance, however, seems like nothing to Pennsport residents Christine Mello and Ben Hemsley. “It was my first time in Europe,” Hemsley of Second Street and Oregon Avenue, said. “I thought it was wonderful and I can’t wait to go back. The people are very friendly … and it was very clean for the most part.” Mello, a cellist, and Hemsley, a composer, spent July in an exclusive music composition and theory program held annually at Paris’ La Schola Cantorum. Acceptance is through an audition process and about 50 musicians and artists from around the globe come to France’s capital for the intensive. “It was a great experience. It was a lot of learning, but it was nice to be in the place where it all happened,” Mello, from Second and Oregon, said. “One of the best things is that I can take continued on page 16

LIFESTYLES continued from page 14 it back here and use it in everyday life as a performer and a teacher.” The two friends traveled across the Atlantic to study with some of the greatest composers in their respective fields, as well as students who put modern twists on timeless classics.While Hemsley focused on his personal compositions, Mello worked with various composers playing their works until they were satisfied with the sound. “It was great. It was both advanced enough for musicians who are out of college and in grad school, but it focused on the basics. The program comes from a style that no matter your musical discipline, you should be well-versed in everything, a well-rounded musician,” Hemsley said. “You get to study with some of the tops composers in Europe. “Also, there were some very fresh perspectives, ways I hadn’t thought of thinking of things before — the faculty there was presenting new ways of thinking.” Though most hours were spent indoors soaking up knowledge, Mello and Hemsley took advantage of their limited free time to see sights such as the Eiffel Tower
and Louvre. They even managed a train ride out to the grand castle at Versailles. “It was the first time I was in France,” Mello, 28, said. “Paris is a great place. The French are totally misunderstood. There are a lot of misconceptions about them, but they are awesome. “Paris is just like Philadelphia — there are so many areas and such great food and people are so nice, so many little nooks.” MELLO GREW UP in Pennsport and attended St. Maria Goretti, 1736 10th St., a place, she says, played a huge role in determining her future career. “There was something so magical about Goretti. I never felt picked on by everyone because I played the cello,” Mello, who was encouraged by a teacher to take up the craft, said. “I had pink hair in college. I listened to classic rock. There was something so passionate for me about classical music. My classmates and the school were so supportive of that. “I never felt nerdy about it. I’m so happy I’m at such an advantage. It was such a great environment to grow and learn who I am.” Mello relishes every opportunity to sing the praises of her hometown and the opportunities it afforded her as she feels South Philadelphia is not always recognized for

these traits. After graduation she moved on to undergraduate work at the College of Music at Temple University and is currently in the process of earning a graduate degree in music history. Hemsley, on the other hand, made his way to South Philadelphia a little over a year ago. Born in Drexel Hill, he attended college in Boston at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and continues his studies in Philadelphia with a mentor. “I work with Benjamin Boyle. He suggested that I look into the program [in Paris]. He works for them, as well. I study composition privately with him. He lives in Philadelphia, he’s a local composer,” Hemsley, 26, said. After he got word of the program, Hemsley alerted Mello of the idea and the two sent in their respective audition pieces; Hemsley’s consisting of an original composition and Mello’s, a taped piece of her playing. Both also submitted essays and other materials. “The program is based on a the music of Nadia Boulanger — her teaching style was a very new style, a new way to learn. With that radical type of teaching she changed the face of music,” Mello said of the French composer and educator who is credited with teaching some of the most influential and revered composers of the

20th century. Mello, who teaches cello, violin and viola, and Hemsley, who is band director for a middle school, fill their lives with music and the joy of passing it on. The program enriched their understanding and fueled the passion they already had for their art. “I could continue teaching cello my whole life, helping to build or rehab the city orchestra. So as long as I’m doing music,” Mello said. Hemsley is similarly drawn to his craft, as well as tapping away on his drum set, which is an instrument he began playing in fourth grade. “I don’t have any good reason to give you why I’m drawn to it. I just know if I’m not doing it something is not right,” he said. “There is a need to compose and create — not to create junk but to create real beauty. “I’m waiting for my skills to improve so I can play along with the Mummers. I love the music that they play. It’s from the 1890s or 1900s, and it’s like someone is punching [the notes] out at a bar on a slightly out of tune piano. “It is just absolutely joyous music.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

By Tom Cardella Columnist
Norman Rockwell and the federal budget
C
onservatives like to tell us government should be run like our family household. Government, they say, should live within its means, presumably like your family and mine. In their Norman Rockwell vision of the world, Mom manages the household budget and spends no more than Dad makes. Let us put aside for the moment the fact our world has become more complex than Rockwell ever imagined in his small-town America and, using the conservative analogy, see how it holds up. In their analogy, our household budget is the federal budget. When our expenses go up, we are faced with several alternatives — find areas where we can reduce costs or cut them out entirely; search for a way to increase our income; or cut our expenses and increase our income. In the conservative universe, you have only one choice: Cut expenses (the government budget). Remember, in this analogy, increasing household income would be tantamount to raising taxes. Carrying the analogy further, Mom and Dad scrupulously go through their budget item by item. They can’t do anything about the necessities, in terms of the federal budget, these are entitlement programs that even the Tea Party embraces (Don’t touch my Medicare). Mom and Dad reduce their utility bills marginally by making sure they turn off the lights, TV and radio when they leave the room. They lower the thermostat in winter and raise it in summer. They insulate the house and fix leaky faucets, all of which reduce costs in the long-term, but require a short-term investment. Much to their chagrin, they find, after reducing their expenses, they still can’t meet the rising cost of living. Even the reduction in their use of utilities didn’t save as much as they had figured because, although their usage went down, their rates went up. Under the conservative model, Mom and Dad are not allowed to increase revenue (taxes). They have no alternative but to begin eliminating items once considered necessities — no more vacations, no more eating out once in awhile, no allowances for the kids, etc. Eventually costs still outstrip household income and soon Mom and Dad find they can’t pay the mortgage, and the premiums for their medical coverage. They can only partially pay their bills or not at all. Life quickly becomes impossible. This is exactly what we are beginning to
see at the level of state and local governments where teachers and cops are laid off, firehouses are closed on a rotating basis, and our infrastructure is crumbling as government struggles to maintain roads and bridges and Hawaii is on a four-day school week to save money. In reality, Mom and Dad would find ways to increase their household income before they would allow their family life to deteriorate. Dad might volunteer for overtime or take a part-time job. Mom would go out to work. The kids would get after-school or weekend jobs delivering newspapers or mowing lawns. The American family is pragmatic, not conservative ideologues. Mom and Dad understand there is more than one way to balance a budget; usually it takes a combination of reducing expenses and increasing revenue. If Mom and Dad understand this basic approach to budgeting, why don’t conservatives? According to conservative Grover Norquist, they want to shrink government down to the size where they can drown it in a bathtub. Despite all their populist blathering these days, conservatives don’t really believe in much of a safety net for the average American, as it just makes Americans soft. While you won’t hear them say as much in public, it is easy enough to read between the lines. The conservative congressional guru on the budget is Paul Ryan (R-Minn.) who believes Social Security should be privatized. George W. Bush once floated this idea until the stock market went south along with your 401(k). Ryan also wants to turn Medicare, the most popular government program and the favorite of Tea Party members (although many of them don’t realize Medicare is a government program), into a voucher system, which studies have shown would increase costs and reduce coverage. The much-praised New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had no problem asking teachers to accept pay cuts, but cringed when it came to increase the tax salaries above $400,000. Republican nominee for governor, Tom Corbett, has bad-mouthed unemployment compensation. In truth, while mouthing platitudes about big government living within its means, many of these same conservatives turned a blind eye toward budget deficits when they ran the White House and Congress during the last administration. The conservative vision of America would leave your family eking out a meager existence. It includes crumbling highways, deteriorating schools and a healthcare system that only benefits insurance companies. Without today’s Social Security, Medicare and adequate unemployment compensation, Rockwell’s America would be more like the America of Herbert Hoover.

Waste deep
Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), from left, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and Toll Road (Randy Couture) make up some of the muscle in “The Expendables.”
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
f you’ve seen the cast list for “The Expendables” — Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, etc., etc. — you’ve seen the most exciting thing about this bloody snooze of an action flick, directed and co-written by Stallone as an excuse to unite as many Hollywood macho men as possible for the purpose of killing literally hundreds of nameless foes. The film has the target of campy/retro/cult hit square in its crosshairs, but a supreme lack of fun, spirit and, yes, direction leave the mark definitively missed. Continually determined to resurrect the types of movies that made him a star, Stallone follows up “Rocky Balboa” and “Rambo” with a shoot-’em-up military adventure that may very well have been plucked from the bombs-and-bullets heyday of the 1980s (it even features the forever-smug Eric Roberts as a villainous suit and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a much-buzzed-about, but flagrantly tacked-on, cameo). Placing himself front and center, Stallone, with his Silly-Putty skin and pitifully silly delivery, stars as the leader of a group of mercenaries whose names include Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) and Ying Yang (Li), and whose guy’s guy banter is just as contrived. Though the exact reasons for the mission escape me (the commonplace plot eludes concern like a sleeper missile), the boys are hired to head off to South America, where they delight in upping the body count, then pause for some falsely sincere moments of reflection that have no place in a noisy adventure flick with B-movie genes. Stallone’s
attempt to give his bloodthirsty, nihilistic film a soul is plainly misguided, and only Rourke (playing a skirt-chasing tattoo artist) proves to be above the blind-pedestrian script. “The Expendables” boasts a couple of nifty set pieces, but more excitement could probably be found in just about any of its actors’ other trigger-happy titles. And, while seeing all those big names on the poster most likely pumped up the hordes of action fans that took it to first place at the weekend box office, they really need look no further than the title for the 411 on this dud.

T
hough burgers and dogs are the hallmark of just about every barbecue, fish can be an fitting — and fit — addition to the meal. Whether a shish kebab, a fillet or tossed on whole, a friend from the sea will brighten the eyes and taste buds of even the most hardened grill guru. Mark Vandergrift makes his outdoor feasts a treat by adding his Easy Grilled Fish Steaks. The resident of the 1300 block of Castle Avenue leaves the door open for improvisation, too. Not sure about tuna? Try swordfish or shark. As long as it’s a fish steak, his recipe will leave lips smacking. SPR
Mark’s Easy Grilled Fish Steaks INGREDIENTS:
4 6- to 8-ounce fish steaks, such as tuna, swordfish or shark 1 cup of Italian dressing Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Pour the dressing over the fish in a shallow bowl or zipper plastic bag. Cover, if needed, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.. Pour off the marinade e and place the fish on a preheated grill or broiler, cooking five to o six minutes on each side ide or until tender. Sprinkle generously with the Parmesan.

several glasses of the iced tea. My server came around the room time to time to fill my glass. My sister Sandy, the picky eater, was here for a long weekend. We usually go to lunch and I wanted her to try Du Jour. We sampled the chopped ($8.95) and Caesar salads ($7.95). Both were winners. The chopped salad included shredded romaine, sliced, ripe avocado, slices of crisp, smoked bacon, tiny bits of sweet red onion, ripe tomatoes and crumbled blue cheese tossed in a homemade blue cheese dressing. (I made a salad akin to this one at home a few weeks ago, but added cool strips of chicken.) Du Jour’s Caesar arrived on a long, white rectangular plate. It was topped with shards of Locatelli and included tiny bits of plum tomato. The creamy dressing was uncommonly good. I detected a hint of whole grain Dijon in it. Two long pieces of crunchy flatbread came with the salad.
I think it a good idea to add flatbreads to every salad, not just the Caesar. It is the perfect go-with. The place was packed and service on all visits was tops. This restaurant is extremely well-managed — the staff filled water and iced tea glasses. I noticed Executive Chef Bonnett bringing lunch to patrons. When the top man helps the servers, you know everything is, indeed, just fine. Three tips of the toque to Du Jour Commerce Square. SPR

waitstaff in town. Servers greet you with a smile and take care of every need. They walk around with a pitcher of iced tea ready for free refills. On my first visit, I enjoyed the soba noodle salad ($8.95). Among the ingredients were mesclun, chopped peanuts, a julienne of carrots, red cabbage and sweet yellow peppers tossed and dressed in a soy vinaigrette. Numerous glasses of the freshly brewed iced tea ($2) kept me cool. On my way out, I heard a man call my name. It was executive chef Anthony Bonnett. I first met him when he worked at the now-shuttered Philadelphia Fish & Co. After I reviewed that restaurant, I wrote a story about him. He told me Du Jour may open for dinner in the fall. My second visit was as fine as my first. Soup of the day was a curried lentil with finely chopped carrots and apples ($3.95) that was served in a black cafe au lait cup. It was hearty with the perfect balance of curry. The tuna salad sandwich ($7.95) was served on Le Bus multigrain bread. The fish had the right touch of mayonnaise to bind it and fresh herbs and chopped celery were added to the mix. Green leaf lettuce and, unfortunately, an anemic tomato slice topped the tuna. I prefer iceberg on my tuna sandwiches, but this is a matter of personal taste. Tomatoes are in high season. I wondered why the cardboardlike, pale pink slice was placed on the sandwich. The bread was toasted, so it imparted a light crispness. A small salad of mesclun with sweet grape tomatoes came with lunch. As on my first visit, I enjoyed

he brown-bag lunch is the perfect solution when our stomach clocks go off between noon and 1 p.m., especially in tough economic times. Early in the morning, sometimes in the dark, we scurry around the kitchen pouring soup into a Thermos, wrapping turkey on rye with lettuce and tomato, adding a yogurt, a piece of fruit or tossing a salad ready for the plastic container. Add utensils and a napkin or two and save money. Eating lunch in a full-service restaurant can cost between $75 and $100 a week depending on where you take your meal, Chinatown excluded. Still, if you enjoy the brown-bag arrangement, eating lunch out once or twice a week won’t break the bank. I discovered the perfect place for this. It is Du Jour Commerce Square at 20th and Market streets. This is not to be confused with the now-defunct Du Jour that was in the Symphony House, which morphed into a short-lived Asian restaurant. The owners are the same, but the menu is different. For now, Du Jour is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (These hours are a chef’s dream, not to mention the waitstaff and managers. No nights, no weekends.) You can enjoy breakfast or lunch on the patio or eat inside, where the air conditioning is perfect. The dining rooms are bright and cheerful, decked out in warm colors and round hanging lights. There are banquettes, as well as white Formica-like topped tables and comfortable rounded chairs, which actually supported my back. Du Jour might just have the friendliest

The fellow superpower nation might get credit for the origin of the peach, but Americans have found creative ways of featuring it in a variety of dishes. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
T
here are few fruits more luscious than a ripe and juicy summer peach. I always have a napkin handy when I bite into one and the sweet juice dribbles down my chin. The peach is native to China and arrived in Europe and the New World by way of Persia. Its ancient name was Persian apple. California, Georgia, South Carolina and New Jersey grow peaches. They contain vitamins A and C. When buying them, look for an unblemished skin and alluring aroma. Place them in a brown paper bag, cut a few slits in the bag and allow to ripen on the kitchen counter. This could take up to five days. Ripe peaches should be stored in a plastic bag and be refrigerated. The most famous peach dessert is Peach Melba. It was created by the great French chef Auguste Escoffier in honor of Dame Nellie Melba, a famous Australian opera singer. Since I have given you a recipe for Peach Melba in the past, I looked through my cookbooks and found some delicious recipes.
Peach Upside-Down Cake (from “Charleston Receipts”)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of butter 1 cup of light brown sugar 1-1/2 cups of peaches, sliced 1/3 cup of shortening 2/3 cup of sugar 2/3 cup of milk 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 teaspoons of baking powder 1-2/3 cup of flour 1/8 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of pure almond extract
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter and sugar in a sheet cake pan and heat slowly, stirring constantly, until well-browned. Add the peaches. Mix the cake batter ingredients together. Cover the peaches with the cake batter and bake for about 45 minutes. Turn the cake out peach side up. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream. Serves six. Note from Phyllis: The women of the Junior League of Charlestown, S.C. donated the recipes for this book. Other fruits can be substituted for the peaches. The recipe does not state the size of the pan. If it serves six, I assume you can use a 9-inch square glass baking dish.
Peaches with Rum, Brown Sugar, Cream and Pistachios (from Judith Huxley’s “Table for Eight”)
Ingredients:
16 ripe peaches, about 3 pounds (or enough to make 6 cups) 4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar 4 tablespoons of dark rum 1 cup of heavy cream 1/2 cup of sour cream 1/2 cup of chopped unsalted pistachios
Directions: Scald the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and slip off their skins. Slice the peaches, put them into a bowl and sprinkle the sugar and rum over them. Mix lightly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for four hours or more. Whip the cream, but not too stiffly. Add the sour cream and blend well. Place in the refrigerator. Before serving, place the peaches in a pretty bowl. Pour
the mock crème fraiche over the peaches and sprinkle on the chopped nuts. Serves eight.
Oven-Roasted Fruit
(from Ina Garten’s “Parties!”) Ingredients:
6 peaches, pitted and cut into eighths 6 plums or Italian prune plums, pitted and halved or quartered 1/2 cup of sugar 2 cups of fresh raspberries 2 tablespoons of orange juice
Directions: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the peaches and plums snugly in a single layer, cut-side up, in two glass or porcelain ovenproof baking dishes. Sprinkle with the sugar and then add the raspberries. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Heat the broiler and place the fruit about 5 inches below the heat and broil for about eight minutes, or until the berries release some of their juices. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with the orange juice. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled. Serves eight. Note from Phyllis: Garten writes this is a versatile dessert. She likes to it with a dollop or crème fraiche. You also may serve the fruit over vanilla ice cream or with a slice of poundcake. Blueberries can be substituted for the raspberries.

Horoscopes
By Mystic Terry Psychic Reader
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Feeling a relationship a should be pushed to another level, these emotions may not be the most accurate source to make a move. If a potential mate doesn’t reciprocate, you could react with frustration and anger. Lucky number: 204. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): A discovery upsets business as usual, perhaps in the workplace. You may refuse to cooperate, but will be in a better position if you are flexible. Lucky number: 746. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Responsibilities interfere with what you really want to do. You may ignore them, but getting them done creates free time. Lucky number: 580. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Consorting with a new group has surprise benefits. Not only will it be an antidote to boredom, but romance could arise. Be wary of any risks. Lucky number: 457. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Creative impulses move you to express yourself. Artists channel this into their medium of choice. If not aware, you could become verbally aggressive with someone. Lucky number: 944. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): A dispute arises over shared property or income. Avoid a confrontation this morning, if possible. Discuss concerns, but if irritation escalates, it may be difficult reaching a resolution. Lucky number: 122. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Startling news arrives that upsets study or travel plans. A search for knowledge may have to wait. You will soon resume pursuits. Lucky number: 379. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Competition in your area of expertise creates work drama. You may feel you have to fight for success. Direct this energy into becoming an expert. Lucky number: 870. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Something from the past suddenly reappears and provoking vulnerable feelings. Perhaps you think it will damage your standing among peers and colleagues. You may be overreacting; wait a few hours and see if things calm down. Lucky number: 481. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): A tantalizing person rocks your world and puts a strain on friendships. You may cancel plans and abandon everyone to spend time with this potential romantic partner. Lucky number: 536. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): A verbal sparring match could start off playful, but will go overboard. Express yourself without getting into a fight. Lucky number: 218. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): An unexpected action upsets a mate’s equilibrium, who will be shocked by this declaration of independence. If feeling tethered, it could be tense rather than enliven togetherness. Lucky number: 362. SPR To inquire about a personal reading, call Mystic Terry at 215-467-5162.

Looking for a laid-back girl to share your home with? Baby Girl is a five-year-old Boxer mix who was brought to the shelter because her owner could no longer afford to take care of her. In her previous home, Baby Girl lived with two other dogs, so she would likely be ok to live with a canine sibling. She would also be ok in a home with cats or young children. Just tell our adoption counselors what kind of family you have before adopting Baby Girl, and they’ll give you tips to acclimate her into your home as smoothly as possible! If you think that Baby Girl would be a good addition to your family, bring everyone (including pets) to the Pennsylvania SPCA to meet her!

Play it again Hundreds were at FDR Park Monday to recapture the joys of their athletic childhoods. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
P
roving that people are only as old as they feel, scores of sports devotees tested out their tendons and ligaments at the first Play Day at FDR Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday. Reconnecting with the carefree moments of their youth led the participants through team tournaments and individual competitions, with trophies and pride at stake. The event — a partnership between SportsRadio 610 WIP and the Department of Parks and Recreation — started with WIP personality Anthony Gargano, a former resident of 18th and Ritner streets, telling the crowd “let’s act like we’re kids.” Following the playing of “The StarSpangled Banner,” the eager group, which included a smattering of children, began to play. Individual competitions included a home run derby; a half-court shooting contest; games of HORSE; speed pitch; a soccer shootout; fast shot hockey; and a punt, pass and kick competition. For a marginal fee, people could engage in these singular activities or compete on a team in the softball tournament. Local sports personalities joined Gar-

FALL BASKETBALL LEAGUE
The Philly Girls Got Game fall basketball league is holding evaluations 7 to 8 p.m. Sept. 13 at Guerin Rec Center, 16th and Jackson streets, for fourth- through
gano as he urged competitors to enjoy “the spirit of today.” Legendary Philadelphia Eagles’ radio announcer Merrill Reese tossed footballs to overjoyed receivers, and Philadelphia Phillies’ public address announcer Dan Baker spoke of his time as a teacher in South Philadelphia. He also gave Gargano a thrill by announcing “Now batting for the Phillies, second baseman Anthony ‘Cuz’ Gargano.” GARGANO LEFT THE hitting to those on the numerous fields. On Ashburn Field, men lined up for 10 swings each in the derby. A pitching machine discharged pitches that Ricardo Mandini found deceptive. “I thought I would have hit a few homers,” Mandini, of the 1700 block of Federal Street, said. “Those balls all dipped at the last moment.” Enjoying a vacation day, Mandini lifted five balls into the outfield, just missing a home run on his final swing. “Oh, well,” he said of his homerless attempts. “I’m going to see what else I can do here.” Following his own homerless experience in the derby, Patrick Paulson had football on the brain. He wandered over to the punt, pass and kick station, where he tried to reconnect with his playsixth-graders. The season will run Monday evenings in the Guerin gym through October. Evaluations for seventh- and eighth-graders is slated for 10 to 11 a.m. Sept. 18 at Neumann-Goretti, 1736 S. 10th St., and will continue Saturday mornings thru October at NeumannGoretti.There is a $20 registration fee.

ground days as a quarterback. “My arm is rusty,” the resident of the 300 block of Fitzwater Street, said. Looking for work, he knew immediately that winning a spot on the Eagles will not be his fate. “With my throws, I definitely won’t be taking [Eagles’ quarterback Kevin] Kolb’s starting position,” he said. Regardless of that, Paulson enjoyed everything, especially having a chance to see some of the athletes he has adthe cost is $30. Registration must be done in person for both programs.

South Philly Sabres is accepting fall baseball registrations at their fieldhouse, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue, from
