T
he head coach of the Ss. NeumannGoretti baseball team was arrested for allegedly supplying a minor with alcohol Monday and put behind bars the following night for an allegation of sexual abuse. Lou Spadaccini, 37, of the 2600 block of South Iseminger Street, allegedly picked up a 14-year-old boy from his home at 4:45 p.m. Sunday and checked into a hotel at the Holiday Inn, 900 Packer Ave., See SPADACCINI page 7

fter lunch raised their blood sugar Friday, students at Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St., had their heart rates increased courtesy of a rousing visit from former U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. The 81-year-old icon, already familiar with novelty through her time as the first fe-
male member of the federal government’s highest judicial body, swore in Jackson’s initial student council. She capped her stay by announcing a national civics contest the Passyunk Square school’s youngsters are eager to win. The revelry occurred a day before Constitution Day, a celebration of the 224th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Independence Mall’s National Constitution Center aims to promote
awareness and comprehension of the document and devised O’Connor’s journey to Jackson through the Verizon Foundation. “Last year we started putting emphasis on civics,” second-year principal Lisa Ciaranca-Kaplan, formerly of 21st and Ritner streets, said of enhancing her learners’ engagement through a couple courses. “I believe our action was a clincher for the See iCIVICS page 13

Word on the Street
What do you think of a recent study that found “SpongeBob SquarePants� has atributed to the decline of attention spans in children? “Reducing attention spans? That’s so vague, I think in itself, too much television does it in and of itself. I don’t know if I would just isolate it to just one cartoon. Like I said, I don’t let my son watch it so I don’t know much about it.� Christina Siskoski, 24th and Wolf streets “As far as my 6-year-old child is concerned, there are some episodes that I don’t let her watch because it could be like a bad influence. I have to call her at least five or six times so she can come here and see what I want. I try to cut the TV off, and she’ll turn it back on.� Nicole Allen, Broad and Wolf streets “I love ‘SpongeBob.’ I sit there and watch ‘SpongeBob’ with my kids, and they know right from wrong. If he says something wrong, you don’t say what he says. But I don’t let them watch TV all day. If you let them watch an hour of TV, they’re good.� Toni Rogers, Broad and Wolf streets “They’re kids, I don’t think their attention span is really that high to begin with.� Dan Stewart, 11th and Jackson streets Interviews by Brooke Hoffman Photos by Greg Bezanis

Packing verbal heat To the Editor: The criminal element certainly has had honest citizens at a complete disadvantage for much too long because we are pitifully unprepared and this is why we remain to be wastefully victimized and unable to fight back. How can one fight back when you find yourself staring into the barrel of a .45 caliber automatic and the muzzle of a .38 snub-nosed revolver held in the hands of obvious cowards, not man enough to face an opponent in a fair, physical man-to-man combat. That gun held in their hands is the only way they can face anyone, and without it, they are really meek and very frightened little boys. But watch what happens if you are lucky enough to snatch that gun from their hands. How quickly does the bravado melt as the scared little boy stands before you? There also are the completely nuts ones who want nothing more than just to kill, which is another sick way of arguing what’s in their twisted minds — manliness. Some of our citizens have been yielding to the necessity of packing their own heat to equalize the playing field, which sooner or later will convey the message to these crazies that now you are playing a game of Russian Roulette because your next chosen victim is quite able and prepared to stand on equal ground, face to face and just as determined to kill for the sake of self preservation as yours to take their money or their lives. Our police department is obviously one of the finest in the nation but cannot be expected to be everywhere all the time. You are going to see more of us having to implement, for our own safety, the force necessary to retain and bring back some of the sanity stolen from us by these heartless cold-blooded killers. It will not stop until we show the determination to put a stop to it because we can’t depend on parental supervision and guidance that cannot work on a defective mind of those so depraved. Just look at what so many of today’s youth have turned into with their flash-mob mentality and the near hopelessness that confronts us all because if it. It pains me so that it has turned into this. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia
A success all-around To the Editor: The article written by Staff Writer Joseph Myers (“Galdo to continue fight,� Sept. 1) on Joanna Galdo was excellent. I attended Joanna’s benefit and it was very well-organzied. It was a great turnout for Joanna, and you could see and feel all of the love all of these people have for her. She is really a profile in courage. Well Joanna, in the article that Joseph Myers wrote, you said, and I quote, “I hope everything goes off without a hitch.� And guess what? It did. Everyone that was there will tell you it was a great party. On a personal note, I have known Joanna since she was a little girl and also her family.

once more. Texas Gov. Rick Perry introduced it in the GOP debate. It also introduces where faith and reason are incompatible. While we all know now that, due to science, the Earth orbits the sun, the church is still at odds with Galileo for unproven assertions. The best John Paul II could respond was, “tragic mutual incomprehension.� And Galileo suffered for it. Are we too going to suffer through the willful ignorance of the Republican presidential candidates who cannot be taken serious by the extreme right unless one questions evolution and denounces climate-change as human-induced and believes creationism and intelligent design should be taught in public schools? Perhaps, Perry, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum hold these beliefs, and beliefs cannot be challenged. My personal beliefs are that these presidential candidates are dangerous and ill-suited for such a prestigious elected office. P.F.

A Lower Moyamensing woman allegedly beat her daughter and stabbed her mother, among others, last week. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor
A
fter attacking her family members and unsuspecting passers-by, a mother of three allegedly barricaded herself inside her home last week. A 50-year-old woman drove her daughter, Monique Smith, 31, of the 1000 block of Ritner Street, and her three children — ages 4, 6 and 14 — home at 7:30 a.m. Sept. 15 after spending the night at her West Philly home. A few moments later, the 14-year-old called and asked her grandmother to return, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She complied and saw the teen standing on the ledge outside the dwelling. Smith allegedly choked and beat the girl. When the grandmother jumped out of the car, Smith supposedly stormed out of the house and punctured her mother’s left arm, Tolliver said. The mother ran around the block and stopped a 69-year-old neighbor, whom she asked to dial 911, but as the neighbor strolled around the corner, he was stabbed in the chest and again in the back as he tried to escape. Smith allegedly attempted to jab his 63-year-old wife, but was unsuccessful. A 32-year-old and her fiancé were driving by and stopped to help when they saw the 50-year-old asking for assistance, but then Smith supposedly gouged the woman passenger in her left arm, breast and side of her stomach, Tolliver said. Police responded to the scene at 9:22 a.m. after Smith barricaded herself indoors, Tolliver said. Twenty minutes later South Detectives arrived and 24 minutes after that SWAT entered the home and removed Smith and her two young sons. The grandmother and the children were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania while the other victims were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital except for the 32-year-old who was taken to Methodist Hospital and transferred to Jefferson, Tolliver said. Smith was charged with seven counts of recklessly endangering another person; five counts of aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime and simple assault; three counts of endangering the welfare of a child; two counts of criminal attempted murder, two corruption of a minor; and a count of tampering with physical evidence, retaliation against a victim/witness, unlawful restraint, false
imprisonment and terroristic threats, according to court records. She was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault March 2010, but was released on her own recognizance. Three months later, she did not show for her arraignment and, according to court records, was in a mental facility. The judge lifted a stay away order July 7, 2010.
Game impact An elderly man was injured in a hit and run at the Sports Complex Tuesday night. A 91-year-old was crossing the street on the 800 block of Pattison Avenue at 9:14 p.m. when a gray Nissan pickup truck with a Delaware license plate struck him and fled west on Pattison, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. The man was transported to Jefferson in stable condition with a laceration on the back of his head, Russell said. Police did not have a description of the driver at press time.

SPADACCINI, A 1992 St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., grad and two-time All-Catholic, First-Team outfielder has led the Saints to their first City and Catholic League Championships since ’58 and ’60, respectively, in 2009 and repeated that feat this year. South Philly Review ranked the Temple grad as Coach of the Year in ’09 while readers dubbed him as top high school coach the next year. Spadaccini is due back in court at 9 a.m. Oct. 6 for the arraignment of his preliminary hearing, according to court records. He did not return an e-mail seeking comment. The archdiocese is urging anyone with information or who may need to speak with a counselor to contact the Archdiocesan Office of Child and Youth Protection at 888800-8780 or e-mail philayac@adphila.org. “I think the most important thing is just to assure the archdiocese and our community that we, at the forefront, are about and focused on protecting children — creating a network of safety and protection for them — that’s our bottom line,” Leslie Davila, the archdiocese’s Office for Child and Youth Protection director, said at a press conference. “We want to make sure our children are protected.” SPR
SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I SEPTEMBER 22, 2011
Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. He is believed to have given the minor alcohol and had slipped a Xanex in his drink. After the boy’s parents repeatedly called and texted the boy, Spadaccini allegedly drove him home at 8:30 p.m. Spadaccini posted part of his $15,000 bail after his arraignment Tuesday — the same day police informed the Archdiocese of the charges. After press conferences announcing his arrest, a 13-year-old boy came forward citing three separate sexual incidents with Spadaccini — once at Spadaccini’s South Philly home and twice at the Holiday Inn between July and August, Russell said. He was arrested again at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday. Spadaccini, a five-year head coach for the high school, 1736 S. 10th St., was charged with involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with a minor, indecent assault, interference with custody of a child, endangering the welfare of a child, luring a child into a motor vehicle, corruption of a minor, furnishing alcohol to a minor, possession of a controlled substance and manufacture and delivery or possession with intent to deliver and related offences, according to court records. “We’re just really shocked,” John Murawski, the school’s president, said yesterday. “The community as a whole just feels betrayed. This is well-respected and beloved member of our athletic program.” Spadaccini only coached for the East Passyunk Crossing school as his day job is at Center City’s Criminal Justice Center working as part of the courtroom operations staff. The two-time Catholic League Coach of the Year had criminal background checks and child abuse clearances prior to his hiring as an assistant coach in 2006, but now has been put on administrative leave, according to the Archdiocese, which sent a letter home to parents Tuesday. “There’s been a joint concern that we’ve all been betrayed,” Murawski said of parents who have reached out to him. “We’re all in agreement that it’s the last thing we saw coming. Obviously, the fear with anything like this is that parents would react hastily to the school — ‘You should not have put my child in this situation.’” However, even though some parents noted Spadaccini spent a lot of time with the athletes, they trusted “Coach” as they called him. “There’s really never a thought that something other that athletics is going on,” Murawski said. The archdiocese has supplied the school with counselors and additional support services starting yesterday and the administra-

The area’s sizeable Mexican population staged its initial Independence Day celebration along South Ninth Street. By Joseph Myers

mong other delights, Mexico has given the world the avocado, chocolate, corn and vanilla. Aside from edible offerings, the country, the 11th most populous with more than 112 million individuals, has presented the global community with impassioned displays of nationalism. Sunday endowed South Philadelphia’s Mexicans with chances to proclaim their pride, as they honored Mexico’s 201 years of independence with a six-hour celebration within the Ninth Street Italian Market. Dazzling sunshine guaranteed that anyone who covered the area from Federal Street to Washington Avenue had a bright complement to the vivid colors of the dancers’ and musicians’ garments. Ample food vendors ensured eyes were not the only organs to gain satisfaction. The famous space’s Mexican business owners united with Casa Monarca, 1144 S. 17th St., a nonprot center aiming to preserve Mexican culture and the Spanish language for South Philadelphia’s 20,000 Mexicans, to stage the day. “We had thought of gathering for many years,” Monica Orozco, a Casa Monarca board member and a former resident of 15th and McKean streets, said of forming a sign of appreciation for their ancestors’ struggles and subsequent joys. Old discussions yielded no consensus, so the annual Mexican Independence Day Festival held at Penn’s Landing had served as the lone signicant tribute before Sunday. “We nally gured if we never try, we’re never going to know how successful we can be,” Orozco, a native of Múzquiz, Coahuila in northeastern Mexico, said of agreeing on an occasion to have her compatriots hawk their goods and move their feet. She arrived in the United States in January 2001 and sought to connect with fellow Mexicans, forming an outreach program while working for Child Care Information Services of Philadelphia. Casa Monarca’s November ’09 opening gave her more cause to promote tradition. “We really wanted an event to showcase what the children have learned,” Orozco said of the youngsters’ mastery of folkloric dances, civics and history. According to Orozco, the Casa Monarca youths and their neighborhood contemporaries comprise the rst generation of

Mexicans born in South Philadelphia. They have developed a great understanding of their heritage and eagerly aunt their skills. Their elders showed them what continued studies could yield, as they performed an Aztec dance just after 2 p.m. on Ellsworth Street. “Our dances are always fun and educational,” Ana Soto of 13th and Reed streets, said. Soto moved from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua eight years ago and has loved teaching American and Mexican culture to her 4-year-old son Arturo, who took more interest in a soccer ball than in his enchilada. The boy, whose attention soon turned to a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico’s patron saint, stood with his mouth agape as his potential mates began their routines on Ellsworth Street. Sets of boys and girls executed dances with different tempos and themes. Adults followed with the Jarabe Tapatío, a folk dance that symbolizes courtship, honor, love and pride. Soto, a former dancer, deemed the dance a necessity. “People can neglect and even despise their backgrounds,” she said. “What better way is there to show respect than with love?” SPAIN
INVADED THE
Aztec Empire in Feb-
ruary 1519 and claimed the territory in August 1521, renaming it New Spain. On September 16, 1810, priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla led peasants in a revolt in Dolores, Guanajuato. The insurgents needed 11 years to vanquish their foes, with Sept. 28, 1821 serving as the proclamation date for the formation of the Mexican Empire. The 1846-’48 Mexican-American War resulted in the forfeiture of more than half of the land to the United States, giving the land what would become part or all of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. Other atrocities have hampered the land, but Mexico City, its capital, has achieved renown as a popular tourist destination. Their homeland’s overall positive reputation, however, has not deterred Mexicans from seeking new lives in the United States. A 2009 U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey revealed nearly 32 million people of Mexican descent call America home, good for 10.3 percent of this country’s population. The same document notes Mexican Americans comprise 66 percent of America’s Hispanics and Latinos. With 67,062, Mexico last year led all countries in U.S. naturalizations, according to an April report by the Department of Homeland Se-
curity’s Ofce of Immigration Statistics. “We are numerous and we are eager to contribute to our new home while remembering our rst one,” Orozco said. Though Sunday marked the rst Independence Day celebration in South Philadelphia, area Mexicans have revealed their reverence to other elements of their identity with the Carnival of Puebla. Occurring the last Sunday of April for the last ve years, it blends Easter and Cinco de Mayo, the celebration of the Mexican army’s 1862 triumph over the French at the Battle of Puebla. The carnival begins at 17th Street and Washington Avenue and terminates at Sacks Playground, Fourth Street and Washington Avenue. “Again, the children know the meaning of the day and enjoy their roles,” Orozco said. She touted their memories, expressing happiness with their knowledge of “Himno Nacional Mexicano,” the Mexican National Anthem. After offering praise, she and Carlos I. Gibralt-Cabrales, the Consul of Mexico in Philadelphia. witnessed their patriotism. While Americans place their right hands against their chests during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Mexicans point their palms down when singing their honorary words. The vocal treat followed the presentation of the Mexican ag by a group of girls and the Cry of Independence, during which Gibralt-Cabrales called the names of the heroes of the ght for independence, leading the crowd in a chant of “Viva Mexico.” In Spanish, the leader then extolled the growth of the Mexican community and its contributions to the Ninth Street District. He stressed family unity and continued care for the Mexican heritage. True to his role as a builder, he encouraged attendees to wait out tough times. Nobody seemed eager to dwell on any sadness, as the seven-member Mariachi Flores wrapped up the nal hour with tunes that sent listeners away with a desire to continue the esta on their own. “The owners have told me they are happy with the attendance and are eager to talk about next year already,” Orozco said. “We are thrilled and hope today is the rst of many South Philadelphia festivals.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

News This is the third in a series of profiles previewing the Sept. 25 Vendemmia Festival.
Raising a glass to education As part of Sunday’s Vendemmia Festival, several local students will be honored with financial awards. By Natalie Pantaleo Smoley Review Special Contributor

tephanie Kelly never thought she’d get into the University of Pennsylvania. The 2011 Neumann-Goretti grad, 1736 S. 10th St., didn’t think the fact that she ranked No. 1 in her class, or that she was valedictorian mattered much among the competition she imagined would be vying for the same seat in the prestigious school’s nursing program. But when her likely letter arrived in the spring — three days before the deadline to accept the full-scholarship she had been offered from Drexel University — her vision began to change. When she was in grade school, before her dad passed away four years ago from lung cancer, he used to take Kelly on drives here and there.
“One day we took a ride to Penn’s campus just to walk around. My dad said, “‘this is where you should go to school; this is where you belong.’” “I thought of my dad when I got accepted and remembered that moment,” she said. The college freshman, who has received grants and scholarships from Penn, Comcast, Walmart and the Big 33, will find Sunday if she’ll receive additional funding through the Vendemmia Foundation scholarship program which helps to advance and preserve Italian culture and heritage. The organization also provided financial support during her four years of high school. “It was my eighth-grade teacher at St. Nicholas of Tolentine grade school, Miss Grimditch, who first told me about the Vendemmia Scholarship program for students from the four South Philadelphia zip codes [19145 through 19148],” Kelly

She was not bothered by administering medications to her dad, or handling any of the unpleasant tasks one could imagine occur during cancer treatments. “That’s when I began to think I had what it takes to become a nurse,” Kelly said. When asked if any other South Philly experiences influenced her education so far, Kelly noted how she is the brunt of some jokes because of it.

iCIVICS continued from page 1
Sandra Day O’Connor, second from right, hopes to add many children to the list of those who have gained from her emphasis on understanding and embracing civics’ everyday applications. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
Open to fth- through 12th-graders, the challenge lets students earn points through playing iCivics’ 14 games. It spans from Oct. 3 to Nov. 30, with the winning class receiving a VGo telepresence robot. The gadget will let learners enjoy multicultural learning experiences with international colleagues, permit homebound students to join classroom activities and take virtual eld trips to educational facilities. A virtual visit from O’Connor rounds out the benets. “Go for the prize, but you don’t need another visit from me,” she said to laughter. She discussed career paths, revealing cattle ranching appealed to her prior to falling for the legal world. She told the rapt participants to feel willing to take on multiple tasks in their neighborhoods. “You don’t need to be famous,” she said. “You just need to care about something and be involved.”
ogy teacher and dean of students Marc Levinson noted the games’ point allowances can let him use the students’ efforts as assessments. “The ease of use is quite nice,” he said as eighth-graders Andrew Rohrbach and Samira Thomas increased their wisdom. “I like Law Craft,” Rohrbach, of 12th and Federal streets, said of The Legislative Branch game that lets users become members of Congress. He felt a sense of pride from welcoming O’Connor, as did Thomas, of 11th and Bainbridge streets. “I want us to be the winning school,” the fan of Immigrant Nation, a citizenship and participation game that teaches the path to citizenship, said. “We just have to keep everybody on track.” Teachers may enroll classes by visiting www.icivics.org/impact-challenge-2011, and anyone can access the curriculum by going to www.icivics.org/games. Ciaranca-Kaplan, already highly respectful of O’Connor, whose interview will air Sept. 27 on www.thinknity.org/speakerseries, for her past, loves what the retiree is doing for the present and the future. “She has given them a gift that will last for the rest of their lives,” she said. “She was a hero to me before; now, she is an even bigger one.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

TO BOLSTER ITS enthusiasm for addressing social issues, the Verizon Foundation is funding the challenge through a $20,000 grant. “We want to boost civics discussions,” Al Browne, national director and vice president of education and technology, said. The Jackson contingent had no qualms about entering the civics realm, as the youngsters shot up their right hands and voiced words akin to those of the oath of ofce of the president of the United States. Lending her energy to the excited throng, O’Connor clapped for the children, with two fortunate youths presenting her with a
bouquet of roses. “They’re beautiful,” O’Connor, whose post-Supreme Court career has included the acceptance of many accolades, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in ’09, said. Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of her Senate conrmation, so she found herself last week reecting on the next generation of history makers. “Let’s see if you can win,” she said to her potential judicial successors. A jaguar serves as Jackson’s mascot, so the students sent her off by curling their hands to resemble paws, waving their makeshift mitts to symbolize their Positive Attitudes Winning Success motto and club. “The passion for civics has spread, and we thank you, Justice O’Connor, for your presence,” Ciaranca-Kaplan said. Proud of her students’ diligence in staging elections and drafting the preamble, the leader expressed fervor for further civic involvement. The student body wants to convince the School District of Philadelphia to close schools for future Constitution Day celebrations, her site includes a faculty senate, and the pupils should have their constitution complete by December. Friday’s lessons called on students to construct resolutions to any in-school problems. Upon O’Connor’s departure, many inaugurated leaders headed to the second oor computer lab to work on civics chores. The program’s lessons are not elements of the district’s curriculum, but technol-

Constitution Center.” The eight-year-old facility includes O’Connor on its board of trustees and served as the site for her 2003 receipt of the Liberty Medal. Before venturing to see many of Jackson’s 400 students, the Texas native, who retired from the Court ve years ago, presided over the naturalization of 48 new citizens at the center. The school community learned only recently of its selection as the host site for O’Connor to discuss the Civics Impact Challenge. Nevertheless, Ciaranca-Kaplan and her charges were the picture of preparation when she arrived shortly after 1 p.m. She passed a placard with the preamble to the institution’s constitution to enter a rstoor kindergarten classroom. The excited pupils waited patiently, as Mike Koren, a Wisconsin educator and 2010 winner of the National Middle School Teacher of the Year Award from the National Council for the Social Studies, interviewed the ebullient elder for Verizon’s Thinknity Education Speaker Series. “I like for students to learn how to think,” she said as a lamentation against the dropping of civics as a curriculum component in numerous states. To counter the decline, she created Our Courts, a website with interactive civics lessons, in February 2009. Her brainchild became iCivics in May ’10, and its resources have assisted more than two million scholars across the country. Studies detailing the time children spend looking at computer and television screens inspired O’Connor to let educational outcomes rival other pursuits. “I need only one hour to make things happen for a student,” she said of upping democracy-fueled ambition. Seven topics, including The Judicial Branch, comprise the iCivics offerings. Upon choosing a theme, users peruse subcategories and test their knowledge of the land’s laws. Because of Jackson’s racial diversity, Ciaranca-Kaplan said she feels iCivics helped students to learn of a government that may be entirely new to them. O’Connor, one of the principal’s inuences, sees involvement as a means to prove no citizen is helpless. “You do count,” she iterated to the nation’s budding minds while stressing the need to add one’s stance to any massive issue’s chronicles. After concluding with Koren, O’Connor welcomed 35 sets of bright eyes into the room. The owners represented the winners of last week’s elections, and they listened as she discussed the contest and their communal roles.

A Newbold musical theater artist takes on an edgy role in Theatre Horizon’s production of a Pulitzer prize-winning play. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
Alex Keiper, of Hicks and Dickinson streets, is used to being cast as the girl next door. When director Matthew Decker called her about a role in “Kimberly Akimbo,” she was surprised by the description. “The role is a bit of an extreme for me,” Keiper, 26, said. “She’s a homeless, lesbian, ex-con, trying to get Kimberly to take part in a scam with her.” Keiper plays Debra in Theatre Horizon’s current production of “Kimberly Akimbo,” a Pulitzer-prize winning work about a 16-year-old who suffers from a disease akin to progeria, which is a disorder that ages the body at an extreme rate. In the play, Kimberly’s life expectancy was to the age of 16, and the play begins just after her 16th birthday. “It’s a really funny, dark comedy, which are some of my favorite kinds. There are really these kind of uncomfortable moments that you just see the people on stage making these horrific comments and you find yourself laughing and asking yourself if you should be laughing at that,” she said. Playing Debra, which requires Keiper to get cornrows put in her hair every Thursday during the show’s run, is a departure from her usual genre of musical theater. “I think there was not hesitation but interest in how I would handle a scene rather than a song,” Keiper said of the audition process. “It’s been excellent and really hard. It just feels totally different. The energy of a straight play has to be kept up in a different way than a musical since it’s not the same kind of heightened world. There is more a base kind of level that doesn’t Photos Provided by Alex Keiper

continued from page 16 change the fact that the energy has to keep going. “It’s been interesting to explore how to find this energy.” Opening Sept. 8, shows run mainly Thursdays to Sundays until Oct. 2. Initial review has been positive, the actress said, although many audience members have very different experiences. “I’ve heard experiences varying from laughing the entire show or just crying all the time,” she said. “Either way it’s a wild ride.” KEIPER LEFT FAIRFAX, Va. after high school to pursue a degree at University of the Arts, but much of her training began before she set foot in Philadelphia. “My dad was an actor and is now an actor. He and I were doing monologues in the living room when I was about 5,” Keiper said of her father, Robert. “He always says he would never push it. He’d just be telling stories about his and I’d get up and say I wanted to do it with him.”
The first time Keiper stepped onto the stage in seventh grade she was in good company. “We did a community theater show together — me and my dad,” Keiper
said. “I had three lines and my dad was the star of the show. I ran on and ran off with him.” Upon graduating high school, Keiper, who had not had any vocal training despite singing often, decided formal undergraduate schooling was the best decision. “When I got to University of the Arts, I felt so far behind everyone else. I had a range of maybe four notes and didn’t know what I wanted to do to make that better,” she said. “But with the personal attention you get there, I was able to expand my range quite a bit, and now my range is enormous. “It was really a struggle to get there to here, and I’m so proud I was able to and continue to do it.” Following graduation, Keiper spent a short stint in New York, but found work in Philadelphia time and time again, and eventually decided she was most comfort-

able in the local scene. Since then, she has won a Barrymore Award for her work with 11th Hour Theatre Co. “I love [South Philly]. I really can’t imagine living anywhere else,” Keiper said. “We actually live in not the absolute safest area of South Philly, but the community feels so safe. You know everybody on your block and everyone always says ‘hi’ and watches out.” With upcoming performances scheduled as the lead role in Walnut Theatre Co.’s December production of “Proof” — something Keiper listed as a dream come true — and another work at the Arden with “Tulipomania,” Keiper continues to lay the groundwork for the career she always envisioned. “I think there are so many roles for older women performers that I admire,” Keiper said. “There are amazing older women who are icons in my idea of what theater can be and how far you can reach as an actress. “My biggest hope would be to continue to get challenged to do roles I’m not sure I can do. And as I’m getting older and older, approaching these life-changing roles, I’d feel more ready to take them on.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

By Tom Cardella Columnist
Interpreting the headlines
M
any folks don’t have time to do more than read the headlines. As a public service, your columnist has collected the following headlines and provided my interpretation of the story lines behind these headlines. The headlines are real. The interpretations are my own because I didn’t read the actual stories either. Did ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ really cause the civil war? (The New Republic) Strictly speaking, it wasn’t the cabin that caused the Civil War, it was Uncle Tom himself. Apparently, Uncle Tom was just a clever disguise for a slave by the name of Nat Turner. While he was saying, “Yes suh” during the daytime, Nat raised a rebellion during the night. And as Ken Burns said, “the rest was history.” Obama deliberately kills jobs (Fox Nation) In its pursuit of the truth, Fox only got two things wrong in this story. Steve Jobs is not dead. Jobs, who recently resigned his post as CEO of Apple, vehemently denies that the president had anything to do with his getting cancer. Nicolas Cage awakened by naked man with Fudgesicle (The Dish) Our fact checking revealed that it was no fudgy wudgy that guy was holding. Cage has denied he has this dream fairly often. Another possibility is that the naked man was holding a Fudgesicle and Cage awakened after it dripped on him. Debating extreme human enhancement A new debate breaks out on “The View” about Cher’s cosmetic surgeries. There is a slight possibility this story has to do with the time when I inadvertently overdosed on Viagra and my wife threatened to leave me. Anderson Cooper tears into Michele Bachmann (The Huffington Post) Don’t be alarmed by the apparent cannibalism implied by this headline. Godiva chocolates was commissioned by the Tea Party to make a life-sized milk chocolate statue of Congresswoman Bachmann. Cooper, a CNN host, loves chocolate and couldn’t resist taking a bite out of her. “It is amazing the way Godiva was able to duplicate her vacant stare,” Cooper remarked. Christie slaps around press (Fox Nation) The governor of New Jersey bitchslapped Maureen Dowd, well-known New York Times columnist, in front of her stunned media colleagues. Christie
claimed that he was actually trying to punch David Gregory of NBC News when Dowd inadvertently got in the way. New Jersey Republicans applauded Christie’s actions and said both Dowd and Gregory have long been begging for it. Is female masturbation really the last sexual taboo? (The New Republic) We hope so because it not only makes you go blind, it means more men will take up golf. Sorry ... We thought you were a Jew (The Dish) Exclusive country club rejects man’s application for membership prompting him to expose himself. The four things that happen right before a heart attack (newsmax.com)1)You ogle naked photos of Scarlet Johansson on the Internet. 2)Your wife catches you and takes her revenge using her Nordstrom charge. 3)You take your solace in a pint of Ben and Jerry’s HubbyHubby. 4)You are watching an Eagles game where Andy Reid doesn’t run out of timeouts. L.A. porn studio begins construction on ‘post apocalptic’ underground bunker (Drudge Report) Because if there’s anything we’ll need after a nuclear attack, it’s our porn stars. Man lives in cage with lions for 35 days (Pravda) ”At least Putin can’t spy on me here,” the man says. Dennis Miller: I don’t like Obama because he doesn’t like me and around 50 percent of America (Breitbart) Actually, the president likes Miller personally but thinks he stunk as an analyst on “Monday Night Football.” Obama’s top-10 offenses against Israel (The Jerusalem Post) 1) He put mayo on his corned beef sandwich. 2) He wants Israel to withdraw to its prebiblical borders. 3) He mistakenly called Bibi Netanyahu a “putz” instead of a “mensch.” 4) Michelle is not crazy about Miami in the winter. 5) He told The Jerusalem Post that “Dinner for Schmucks” was his favorite Israeli film. 6) When someone shouted “mazel tov” to him, the president replied “God bless you!” 7) He fell asleep during a klezmer band concert. 8) As a token of affection, he presented Netanyahu with a copy of the New Testament. 9) Michelle joked that she hoped her daughters didn’t wind up marrying doctors. 10) He was invited to visit a service at a synagogue and showed up on a Sunday.

Nothing ‘Elite’ about it
Danny (Jason Statham), left, and Hunter (Robert De Niro) are ready to pull the trigger in “Killer Elite.”
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
f you go to the movies to go to sleep, “Killer Elite” is your hot ticket — and let’s not forget we’re talking about a shoot-’em-up espionage thriller here. So uninvolving (and frequently incomprehensible) is this supposedly fact-based film’s supposed action that you may have to close your eyes to fend off boredominduced mania. I’m not ashamed to admit that, most often, I hadn’t the slightest clue what was happening from moment-to-moment. Why’d this guy kill that guy? Who was that guy anyway? What are the stakes? From where I sat, I saw little discernible context in the brain-straining events, but, then, maybe I just dozed off. “You’re part of the 2 percent of men who are natural killers,” one character says to another in the provocative peak of Matt Sherring’s script. If you’re part of the, let’s say, 22 percent who are dying to see sellout king Jason Statham square off against fellow gun-happy Brit Clive Owen, then you’ve got at least one reason to see this movie. Statham is an exspecial ops agent lured back into the game by a vengeance-seeking, desert-dwelling sheikh, and Owen is his nemesis — the deadly point man for a shady U.K. society whose motives are confusing despite oodles of expository chatter. Upping his profile as the most respected veteran actor with the lousiest over-the-hill career, Robert De Niro also appears, basically to remind you he can still pull triggers and break jaws. With the multiple double-crosses and flip-flopping morals in regard to the Middle East element (which, you know, has
much to do with oil), it’s clear that Irish director Gary McKendry has a mind for commentary, be it a European self-critique or a dig at plain old terroristic villainy. But, honestly, outlining the global relevance of “Killer Elite” is like examining the emotional nuances of “Transformers 3.” It ain’t worth a sliver of your mental effort, and even for action fans, it’s an endless slog that’ll have you reaching for your own gun.
Killer Elite R One reel out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters
Recommended Rental Carlos Not-rated Available Tuesday Esteemed auteur Olivier Assayas’s sprawling 2010 epic, “Carlos,” finally gets the Criterion treatment in a four-disc DVD set, containing all 330 minutes of the acclaimed account of international terrorist Ramírez Sanchez, aka Carlos the Jackal. In the star-making performance that netted him a heap of awards and nominations, Edgar Ramirez is electrifying as the title character, and reason enough to put the film on your must-see list.

reparing for the big day means planning a multitude of details; everything from the flower arrangements to that something blue must be decided upon well in advance of the ceremony. Here are some tips to help ensure your big day goes off without a hitch.

Pick a date. Talk with your fiancé and family (and your fiancé’s family) about potential wedding dates to ensure the important people in both your lives will be able to take part. Select your guests. The number of guests you invite will directly influence the cost of your wedding.
Set a budget. Budgeting for your wedding is crucial, as this will have a great impact on every other aspect of your day, as well as your honeymoon. Plan for a little wiggle room for unexpected expenses. Choose a location. Because most popular bridal spots are just that — popular — you may want to start searching for a location quickly.
Organize the bridal party. Make careful decisions about who you want supporting you leading up to the big day, and who will be displayed in front of everyone in your life.
Pick a style. Many brides choose wedding styles that are reflected in their save-the-dates, invitations, ceremonies, receptions and thankyou cards. Choosing a theme and color scheme in the beginning will help narrow down options later.

Hire a caterer. Take into account the dietary needs of your guests by offering a variety of menu options, including a vegetarian dish.
Order the cake. Whether you choose a large multi-tiered cake or cupcakes, remember to keep your budget in mind—and pick flavors you and your fiancé truly enjoy. Make the announcement. Decide how you want to let the community know of your planned nuptials. Do you want to take professional engagement photos? Do you plan to contact your local paper? Will you include a link to a wedding day website on your save-the-date or your wedding invitations? Get the gown. On your wedding day, everyone will be awaiting a glimpse of your gown. Listen to your instincts and choose a gown that “feels right” and reflects your personality and style. Dress your party. Once you have chosen the wedding dress of your dreams, speak with your fiancé about his wishes for his suit, as well as the bridal party attire. Hire a photographer. Choose your professional photographer wisely. With a walk down the aisle, father/daughter dance and toast, your father is sure to get photographed, but your mother might get overlooked. Make sure to ask the photographer to get shots of your mother throughout the day as well. Choose your flowers. Once you set the date, discuss with your florists which flowers are in season to help narrow down your selection. You may love tulips, but if you have a winter wedding, they may be hard to come by, and may be more expensive.
Book the entertainment. Do you want a DJ or a live band? Talk with your fiancé about your music preferences, as well as the types of tunes you want played at your reception to keep your guests on the dance floor.

Create a website for your wedding to keep guests informed of events and for easy access to registry information. Provide accommodation information for those guests traveling from out of town.
Insure your engagement and wedding rings against loss, damage, theft or mysterious disappearance. According to a survey conducted by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, 44 percent of married women either don’t insure their engagement ring, or don’t know for certain whether their engagement and wedding rings are insured. For a free, no-obligation jewelry insurance quote, visit www.insureyourjewelry.com.
Make sure your marriage license, travel documentation and insurance information are ready to go and stored in a safe place in advance of the wedding day. Practice reciting your vows and speeches until you feel comfortable.
n
Provide bottled water for your wedding party. To ensure no one gets over-heated, hide water near your bridal party during the ceremony for emergencies. Choose meaningful gifts for your wedding party. Necklaces, earrings or bracelets are great for bridesmaids; cufflinks are perfect for groomsmen. Create individual envelopes for tipping drivers, caterers, musicians, etc. Separate envelopes will help ensure you don’t forget anyone.
Plan for weather: In case of rain — Order a tent or choose a venue with indoor space for last-minute protection from the elements. Offer extra umbrellas to usher people from their vehicles to the venue. In case of heat — Place fans throughout the venue and provide plenty of water for guests. In case of cold — Space heaters can be placed throughout the space to warm up the room in advance of the event. Over-estimate the amount of parking needed for guests.
n
Open wedding gifts and keep an accurate list of each guest in correspondence with their gift. Write thoughtful, personalized hand-written thank you cards.

ith autumn officially starting tomorrow, whip up one more tasty treat using fresh summer produce. Stephen Brodsky’s Blueberry and Peach Pie is sure to hit the spot as both fruits’ seasons come to an end. The resident of the 2200 block of South Colorado Street carefully blends the complementary-colored goodies together before mixing some sweetness to pour on top prior to baking. This dessert will mesh well with any hungry belly as the summer sun fades away. SPR

winner. The perfectly-cooked mollusk that retained a bit of bite was placed on the plate along with sweet, cold bites of juicy watermelon. With this in life, nothing is bad. Another fine example of how a simple dish brings smiles all around. Wines at a.kitchen are offered in 3- and 5-ounce portions. This is a fine idea, especially if someone wants a taste of a white and a taste of a red with dinner. Margaret and I shared the 3-ounce portions, including a cool, crisp, tinny 2010 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, Domaine de la Pepiere ($8) and Anes Corbiere ($7). We completed dinner sharing a goodsized portion of tagliatelle with veal ragu ($16). By this time, a.kitchen was almost bursting at the seams. Unfortunately, it arrived cold. A fresh order arrived within
minutes and it was downright delicious. An authentic ragu is a true peasant dish. The veal was nicely seasoned, simmered slowly in stock, vegetables and its own juice. It was fork tender and clung to the pasta as a perfect ragu must. I did not create this quote. Marcella Hazan did. Three tips of the toque to a.kitchen. SPR

and savory rolls from Burgundy made with Gruyère. Sikora bakes them into a sandwich-size bun. I ordered the country ham ($13), topped with a bit of Dijon. My lunch came with homemade pickled vegetables that were so good I could have eaten another order of them. A few weeks later, my friend Margaret joined me for an early dinner. The music was a bit loud and annoying even at 5:30 p.m. I wish jazz would be on the sound system at a.kitchen. It would top off the atmosphere. Margaret sipped her first Negroni ($12) made with Compari, Carpano Antica, Cava and orange juice while I nursed a Beefeater martini ($11) because the restaurant does not offer Bombay Sapphire. We began dinner with an asparagus appetizer ($11) enhanced by grilled baby artichokes, the last of the warm weather ramps and topped with a creamy PecorinoRomano dressing. The vegetables complemented each other in a tasty fashion and the slightly salty cheese hit the mark. Next up was a salad of dressed crab ($15), which made me think of all of the times I savored this starter in London. Sikora uses blue crab from the Chesapeake Bay. It was sweet, meaty and paired well with faro and topped in a light, nota-bit-overpowering pesto. Using pesto on the crab was creative and inspiring. A true test of a chef’s skill is how he or she treats octopus. It can be bland and chewy. This version ($14) was another

he 1800 block of South 18th Street is one of my favorite dining destinations. If I want top pub fare or afternoon tea, I head to The Dandelion. I’ve eaten lunch at Tria many times and have never been disappointed. Last winter, I discovered Numa, a good go-to for sushi and other Japanese dishes. Juicy burgers at Rouge keep me happy while the French cuisine at Parc transports me to my beloved Paris. I now add a.kitchen to my list of favorable restaurants. Under the direction of executive chef Bryan Sikora, a.kitchen offers something for everyone. It is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Sikora has organized a tasty menu using top quality, local, seasonal ingredients. Although the service was a bit spotty on both my visits, the food did not disappoint. I lunched alone on a warm summer afternoon and brought along a book for company. The space is cozy complete with an open kitchen where you can sit at the bar and watch Sikora and his team work their special brand of culinary magic. Simple blond wood serves as the banquettes and tabletops while homey dishcloths serve as napkins. I began lunch with a salad of baby lettuce hearts ($10) with delightful trimmings including cool, crisp, thinly-sliced radishes and bits of Point Reyes blue cheese. Each ingredient sang on the plate. It was a cool refreshing way to segue to France for an intriguing sandwich. I love gougère. These are small, round

A pot full of goodies
When W hen tthe he ssun un ssets ets W Wednesday, ednesday, J Jews ews across the globe will gather and celebrate the arrival of 5772. Here are some customary dishes dis that take center stage.
By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

ast week I promised to give you my recipe for honest-to-goodness Chicken Soup. Also known as Jewish penicillin, it will obliterate what ails you. We eat it all the time during the Jewish holidays and I often prepare it for Shabbat dinner, particularly during the fall, winter and spring. Rosh Hashana begins Wednesday at sundown. Let’s pray for a 70-degree evening. There are a number of methods for making Chicken Soup. My grandmother always used an old stewing hen. Godshall’s in the Reading Terminal Market often carries them so I may give it a try. I usually make Chicken Soup using a cut-up chicken, with extra bones, or the carcass from a big roaster or capon. Capon stock is mighty rich. I always use a mix of packaged stock and cold water. If you are kosher, you can find packaged chicken stock in specialty stores, particularly those which feature a large kosher inventory. Diced onions, celery, carrots and a leek are always in the pot. A parsnip adds a bit of sweetness. Be careful not to over do it on the carrots. Like parsnips, they, too, are sweet. Fresh chopped dill and Italian parsley are a must. So is kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you use a kosher
chicken, go easy on the salt. Empire is the brand I like best. When I was a little girl, I loved the Mandlen or soup nuts, my grandmother floated in her Chicken Soup at serving time. Mandlen is Yiddish for almonds and refers to their shape. I found a recipe in “The Book of Jewish Food” by Claudia Roden. If you buy just one Jewish cookbook, this is the one. It was named Cookbook of the Year in 1997 by the James Beard Foundation. I never met anyone who does not love Potato Kugel. It goes well with roast beef or turkey, chicken and capon. The recipe is also from Roden’s book.
■ Phyllis Stein-Novack’s ■ Chicken Soup Ingredients: 1 large onion, chopped 1 leek, washed and sliced 2 small carrots, peeled and chopped 4 ribs of celery, chopped 1 parsnip, peeled and chopped, optional 14-pound chicken, cut into eight pieces 4 chicken breast bones 1 32-ounce package of chicken stock 3 cups of cold water Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste 1 large handful of dill, snipped with scissors
1 large handful of Italian parsley, snipped with scissors
Directions: Place the vegetables on the bottom of a 5-quart pot. Lay the chicken on top of the vegetables. Add remaining ingredients, except for the herbs. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender. Add the herbs and blend. Gently reheat the soup before serving. Serves six to eight.
■ Mandlen ■ Ingredients: 1 large egg 2 teaspoons of light vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon of salt 3/4 to 1 cup of flour
Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, beat the egg with the oil and salt. Then beat in enough of the flour to make a soft dough that just holds together and is not sticky. Knead for 10 minutes and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Divide the dough into two pieces. Press, roll and pull each piece into a long rope about one-half-inch wide. Cut the dough into pieces one-half-inch long. Put them on an oiled baking sheet and
bake for about 35 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool and store in an air-tight covered container. Serves four to six.
■ Potato Kugel ■ Ingredients: 4 eggs Salt and pepper, to taste 5 to 6 tablespoons of chicken fat or light vegetable oil 1 large mild onion, grated 3 pounds of potatoes, peeled and grated in a food processor
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the salt, pepper, oil and onion. Stir the potatoes quickly into the egg mixture. Pour into a wide, shallow baking dish brushed with oil. Bake for about one hour. Raise the heat to 450 degrees for about five minutes or until browned. Serve hot. Serves sight to eight. Note from Phyllis: I use Idaho potatoes for the Kugel. If using sweet potatoes, add a dash of cinnamon. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

See you later, Red Raider
A South of South product is aiming to return a Texas school to prominence. By Joseph Myers
“Y

ou can’t be intimidated when you come from Philly,” DeShon Minnis said Tuesday via phone from Lubbock, TX. The 6-foot-3 guard signed his National Letter of Intent with Texas Tech University Sept. 7 and will use his fearless attitude to ignite a resurgence for the Red Raiders, members of the powerful Big 12 Conference. The collected baller, who hails from 16th and Catharine streets, chose the school from an impressive pool of candidates, including Marquette, St. John’s and West Virginia universities. He will join a team bursting with newness, as he and eight other freshmen will receive instruction from rst-year head coach Billy Gillispie. “We are a young team, and we’re ready to run teams out of the gym,” he said of matching his skills with the style of Gillispie, who will guide his third Texas squad after stops at The University of Texas El Paso and Texas A & M University. Minnis also feels prepared to excel in his studies. Following his June graduation from Atlantic Christian School in Egg Harbor, N.J., he took reading courses to become academically eligible. He learned of his status earlier this month and rewarded Texas Tech for encouraging his endeavors. “The school stuck with me, so I chose to go there,” he said of becoming an inhabitant of the Lone Star State. Minnis didn’t make any visits to the institution, which became aware of him through numerous contacts, including Atlantic Christian’s head coach Tom Piotrowski. Under the La Salle University alumnus, who played for the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers in 1983-’84, Minnis excelled. His junior year yielded averages of 17.1 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 steals per game. He earned National Christian School Athletic Association Northeast Super Regional and Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference honors for his efforts that year and for his senior year, when his averages were 18.5 points, six assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 steals per contest. His swan song earned him third
During his time at Southern, DeShon Minnis, right, performed admirably, leading the Rams to the Class AAAA State Championship during his sophomore season. Two equally impressive New Jersey campaigns brought interest from top schools. team NCSAA high school All-America designation. His Garden State prowess followed an equally impressive two years at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. His sophomore year brought the Lower Moyamensing facility the Public League Class AAAA title, with Minnis putting up 15-point and four-assist averages. His exploits landed him on Division A’s First Team and fostered a philosophy he still cherishes. “I’ve always felt I have to prove myself, to show I am better than the other guys,” he said. Playing at Texas Tech’s United Spirit Arena and dealing with the noise from road foes’ fans will denitely test his resolve. “Noooo,” he said of having any trepidation about facing notable opponents such as Kansas State University and the universities of Kansas and Texas. “I need to bring my top game every night because those guys are not coming to play around and neither am I.”
Gillispie, who won the Big 12’s Coach of the Year award in ’05 and ’07 and shared the Southeastern Conference honors while at the University of Kentucky in ’08, lauded Minnis on the school’s website. “He is a strong and very versatile player who is highly regarded,” the coach said. “He has the ability to play more than one position, and he is the type of guy that we like to coach.” Minnis has enjoyed talks with Gillispie and respects the coach’s views on his playing multiple positions. He wishes, however, to be the primary ballhandler. “I want to play point guard because I love to distribute and because I am a big guard, I can push myself to the rim after grabbing rebounds,” he said. “It’s all about having fun.” MINNIS BEGAN A full slate of classes right after touching down in Lubbock. Undecided on a major, he is building his classroom condence with daily tutoring. “My goal is to nish with a high gradepoint-average,” he said of making his rst
semester a triumphant one. Gillispie will need Minnis’ basketball intelligence quotient to be high-reaching if the Red Raiders are to scare the likes of the Kansas Jayhawks, perennial national championship contenders and winners of the last seven regular season conference titles. Under legend Bob Knight, the Texas bunch made four NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in ’04-’05. However, fans have been waiting for another NCAA berth since ’07 and last year saw their unit fail to qualify for any postseason play. Their school’s 19 losses represented the highest tally in a decade and led to the ring of Pat Knight, the son and successor of Bob. “I am excited about putting the past behind us,” Minnis said of maintaining his and Gillispie’s reputations as winners. Two dates with Kansas await Minnis and his mates, and he anticipates the Feb. 18 clash at the Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks have compiled a stellar 353-26 record over the last 25 years. “Yeah, I’ve heard that place is the loudest gym,” he said. With his mammoth condence, Minnis may roar more loudly if the Red Raiders can execute their athleticism and confuse the Jayhawks, who lost Marcus and Markieff Morris, products of Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., to the NBA Draft. Regardless of the opposition, the young man, whose nickname “Biggie” reects his childhood love for Wendy’s French fries, hopes to be a big shot. “People have us picked to nish last,” he said. “I want to help us to prove we should be higher.” Moving from Philadelphia to New Jersey meant Minnis had to adjust to not seeing sidewalks, he confessed. In Texas, he has had to deal with dry heat but owned up to no homesickness. “I think of Philly, though, but I’m here doing my thing,” he said. “I’m meeting people every day and growing with each experience.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be immediately offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price. Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of cash, certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) “brtweb.phila.gov” for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215-686-1483 and to its website “philadox.phila.gov” and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The “BRT #” refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006

NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a Schedule of Distribution Thirty (30) Days from the date of Real Estate sold on Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter. N.B. - For the benefit of our non-professional readers who do not understand the meaning of the letters and figures following the defendant’s names, we make the following. EXPLANATION The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him. Very truly yours, Barbara Deeley Acting Sheriff, City and County of Philadelphia

PROSTATE CANCER SCREENINGS: The Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson and Prostate Health International’s Gary Papa Run are offering free prostate screenings as part of a research program. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Screening is important because prostate cancer shows no symptoms in its earliest stages. Baseline screening is recommended for all men age 35 years and older. Free screenings, offering a blood test for prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone and cholesterol, and a digital rectal exam will take place at the following two locations: Wednesday, September 21, 2011, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Kimmel Cancer Center - Bodine Building; Wednesday, September 28, 2011, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Radiation Oncology Pavilion at Jefferson’s Methodist Hospital. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. To register for your free screenings, or for more information, call 1-800-JEFF-NOW.

Say nine Hail Mary’s for nine days and ask for three wishes. First business, second and third is for the impossible. Have this published on the ninth day and your wishes will come true, even though you may not believe in it. S.T.J. novena to the holy spirit SOUTHPHILLYREVIEW.COM SOUTHPHILLYREVIEW.COM SOUTHPHILLYREVIEW.COM
Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately. P.T.
