Student athlete leads in face of Lymphoma String Theory School senior Alexis Carine continues with athletics despite several rounds of chemotherapy By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

bout a month ago, String Theory School senior Alexis Carine was apple picking at a nearby farm with her family when a butterfly landed on her shoulder. An avid photographer, the South Philly resident quickly grabbed her camera and captured a shot of the serendipitous sight, as the insect symbolized something much deeper in her eyes. “It was nice how it was just swarming around me,” she recalled. “I loved butterflies my whole life, and when I got diagnosed, they impacted me a lot.” In April of this year, the teenager, whose flairs range from poetry to hip-hop, was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – a cancer that

attacks lymph nodes in the neck and armpits. With no family history of the illness and fairly bearable symptoms, the news shook Carine’s friends, family and the community. But the 18-year-old student, who was 17 years old at the time of the detection, refused to allow the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells to control any other areas of her life, as Carine finished out the school year, and although was not allowed to participate in the remainder of the softball season on doctors’ orders, made it to the games to cheer on her fellow teammates. Even gradually starting treatment was not enough of a reason for the creative writing major to withdraw from her junior year. “I actually stayed in school, which people were really surprised at,” she said. “It was April, so I was like, ‘Let me just ride the rest of the year out,’ See ALEXIS, page 12>>

GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

The South Philly community was shook when String Theory School senior Alexis Carine was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma earlier this year. But the cancer couldn’t keep the 18-year-old poet, photographer, dancer, writer and athlete off the volleyball court this season.

Goretti girls glad to get recognition for historic reunion, say grateful grad First of all, kudos and many thanks to reporter Grace Maiorano for her outstanding piece on the historic 60-year reunion of the first graduating class of Saint Maria Goretti High School for Girls (“Goretti’s first class marks 60-year reunion” Oct. 24). Miss Maiorano dedicated several hours doing interviews and taking photos of former classmates who could clearly recall their unique experiences from over six decades ago at their beloved alma mater. Also, thanks to the South Philly Review for being the only outlet to cover this one-of-a-kind event! Gloria C. Endres

Halloween monsters

olks – Do we really need a holiday that celebrates witches and goblins? In this day and age, do we need to create fictional reasons to be scared? Our real lives aren’t scary enough? I don’t mean to be a killjoy, but I’m trying to figure out why we need Halloween. Did someone decide that our kids were not ingesting enough sugar so we just had to give them candy? There’s a status system that has developed surrounding the tradition of “trick or treat.” The folks who give out full-size Snickers bars have somehow become the secular equivalent of Mother Theresa. It’s my belief that these seemingly magnanimous people are not humanitarians at all; they’re dentists. By all means, give the kids giant chocolate bars and make sure their parents will soon have to dole out a thousand or two to fix their kids’ rotting teeth. How about we mandate that all of you who oppose the soda tax chip in to pay the damned dental bills? Have you ever thought about what’s behind the “trick or treat” message of the youngsters at your front door? Intimidation. Bullying. Not gonna fork over the “treat” (candy)? Okay, you just might get a trick played on you. And I’m not talking a magic trick. Pundits worry about a divided America. We

have two Halloweens in my neighborhood. Unofficial Halloween is a secret date established by the general neighborhood in meetings likely held in the dead of night. Unofficial Halloween is just for neighborhood kids. Visiting houses is done in the daytime. Usually on a weekend. Confined to the neighborhood. Ostensibly that’s for safety reasons. We’ve all been scared to death by media reports of razors in apples and the like. Turns out the number of incidences of that sort is vastly exaggerated. Your kid has a better chance of getting tooth decay from Halloween than being lacerated by apples. Official Halloween is held on the traditional Oct. 31 date. This is for kids from outside your neighborhood who visit in droves at night. America being what it is today, many folks turn off their porch lights and don’t acknowledge these kids, who are likely from poorer neighborhoods. Some folks will hand out candy on official Halloween, but only if you meet certain criteria. Halloween See CARDELLA, page 12>>

Local artist sheds layers in new Queen Village exhibit

Alex Eckman-Lawn’s ‘Recessive’ uses multi-layered, hand-cut paper collages to explore survival By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

ortrayals of faces – some of friends, others of Greek statues – occupy the walls of Paradigm Gallery and Studio. While, at first glance, the images of countenances may seem uncorrelated, each expression is lacerated with voids on one point of the portrait or another, revealing deeper layers of metal sheets and shades, and, perhaps, an inward unveiling of the depicted individuals. For artist and South Philly resident Alex Eckman-Lawn, shoveling stratums – the actual ones and the figurative – serves as an avenue for inspiration. “I think, when dealing with the idea of buried things, emotional or literal, it helps to have this physical depth to the pieces,” he said. “And particularly, when I’m working with anatomical imagery, I think the sort of surgical aspect of making the work really affects me.” Eckman-Lawn, a West Philly native and established illustrator whose work has been featured nationally in comics, album covers, book covers, music videos and even recently the Wall Street Journal, is tackling his latest project and first solo show at the Queen Village space. Although the Passyunk Square dweller dabbles in a few mediums, his latest project, “Recessive,” which will be on display through Dec. 6, spotlights multi-layered, hand-cut paper collages – a practice the 2007 University of Arts graduate has been exploring for the past decade. Renowned for illustrations that have been seen on covers of Scholastic books and Relapse Records albums, EckmanLawn found an instinct for capturing other creators’ visions, whether musicians or writers, and interpreting them in new light. But this method of collage-making allows the artist to tap into his own creative consciousness. “I don’t always have so much freedom in my freelance/illustration work, but I am in complete control of the cut paper stuff, so that’s probably the most accurate representation of who I am

GENERAL GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

South Philly artist Alex Eckman-Lawn sheds layers – literally and figuratively - in new solo exhibition at Paradigm Gallery and Studio. ‘Recessive’ uses multi-layered, hand-cut paper collages to explore survival. said. Though the sources vary from old medical textbooks to cell phone photos, his process entails seeking particular images and then revising them in Adobe PhotoShop. Once the images become tangible on sturdy sheets of paper, he layers them one-by-one, adding foam boards in between for depth. From there, he begins to cut. Encompassing scenes drawn from grim dreams to casual pictures of friends, the 25-piece collection is a concoction of Eckman-Lawn’s experiences that revolve around fears, anxieties, hardships and survival. Tapping into feelings of imprisonment, much of the work’s narrative boils down to control over one’s self. For Eckman-Lawn, the personal

body of work revolved around an irrational fear of illness, history of family strains and some reaction to the current political climate. “To me, it’s the most personal work I’ve done, particularly like using people that I know. It’s hard for me not to have a strong reaction,” he said. “But, I think it comes through. I think you can tell that those are a little more personal and might be a little more stronger.” The title itself, “Recessive,” harbors a few meanings, like inherited genes, yet the work also has literal recesses or hollow spaces.

I want it to be a way for them to get to what they’re about.” Although Eckman-Lawn’s art was recently on display in gallery exhibitions across the country, including at SCOPE Miami Beach, Art on Paper NY, Arch Enemy Arts, Gallery 1988, Cotton Candy Machine and Copro Gallery, as well as being highlighted in publications such as Hi-Fructose, Juxtapoz Magazine and The Observer, he says having this solo show here in Philadelphia is meaningful on more

Eckman-Lawn feels Philly is in the midst of an “artistic renaissance,” saying in a decade or two, people will look back on this time as an extraordinary era for arts in this city. And South Philly’s Paradigm Gallery and Studio, located in the heart of this cultural movement, especially lends itself to Eckman-Lawn’s “Recessive.” “The (Paradigm) space itself is also full of little nooks and spaces that sort of force you to have a more intimate experience with the art,” he said. “I think that fits nicely with the little secrets I try to hide inside my art.” To learn more about the exhibition, visit www.paradigmarts.org/blogs/ news/recessive-works-by-alex-eckmanlawn.

Hawthorne’s to host third annual cider, beer festival The block party will feature a kids area, complete with face painting, sidewalk chalk and an inflatable slide By Tom Beck

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

esidents from South Philly and beyond are invited to take part in Hawthorne Beer Cafe’s third annual Great Harvest Cider and Beer Festival, a block party and beer festival that will take place on the entire 700 block of S. 11th Street outside of the restaurant from 11 a.m to 8 p.m on Nov. 3. “This is an annual event that Hawthorne’s

throws in the fall,” said Jami Nazarski, the restaurant’s general manager. “It’s what we call our Harvest Festival. It’s a block party where families can come out. We have a kids area. We have food trucks, beer, live music, cider and wine.” The event isn’t just for adults, however. The block party will feature a kids area, complete with face painting, sidewalk chalk and an inflatable slide. “It’s a big family event,” Nazarski said. The event will feature at least seven food trucks and 30 rotating kegs.

“We have different distributors coming,” said Nazarski. “So that’s great.” Nazarski said the annual event was spearheaded three years ago as a “celebration of the neighborhood” by the restaurant’s owner Chris Fetfatzes. “We just want to celebrate the neighborhood and have an event where families of all ages can bring out the pups and the kids and get together to have a good time,” said Nazarski. Hawthorne’s has been located on the 700 block of S. 11th Street for nine years now, owned and operated by tFetfatzes and his wife Heather.

“What sets us apart is our food during brunch,” Nazarski said. “We’re known for our brunch.” But the restaurant is still very “beer-focused,” as Nazarski puts it, and notes the bottle and draft selection is impressive. It’s got a homey vibe with couches and tables. “It’s a you’re-going-into-grandma’s-kitchen kind of thing,” Nazarski said. “That’s what made this place really successful. It’s a homey, cozy vibe in the city.” Entrance to the block party is free.

Barrymores bound for Bok while stripping binary titles By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

rt, in all its forms, tends to reflect the immediate milieu – sometimes consciously, sometimes not. Most recently, the Philadelphia theater scene is knowingly responding to social movements, not only on global scales but local ones, as well. At the moment, such reassessments are not necessarily confined to avant garde or experimental performance but rather are being instilled by institutional artistic organizations, specifically the upcoming Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre. “Recognizing that, Theatre Philadelphia and the Barrymores, the Barrymores being a much longer institution, how are we reflective and responsive to the changing community?” asked Leigh Goldenberg, executive director of Theatre Philadelphia. Theatre Philadelphia, a regional organization founded in 2012 that’s dedicated to connecting theatrical collectives, strived to seize two societal shifts and evince them in the 2017-2018 Barrymores season. They center upon the categorization of self-identities and the space in which the ceremony will be held – Bok in South Philadelphia. For the first time since its inception in 1995, the prestigious ceremony, which was taken over by Theatre Philadelphia in 2014, is stripping gender binary titles among its more than two

day, Nov. 5. Now, instead of “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” in plays and musical groupings, nominees, which were announced in August, fall into unspecific sex catalogs, like “Outstanding Leading Performance in a Play” or “Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Musical.” The team behind this year’s Barrymores says the conventional categorization was a topic of discussion stirring in community for the past few years. “The representation in the Barrymores was starting to be questioned by the community,” said Elaina Di Monaco, associate director of the 2018 Barrymores. “And my impression is, in the last several years, there’s been an enormous effort, a volunteer effort from members of the community being like, ‘Our community is more diverse and intricate than this, and we want the Barrymores to represent that.’’’ Throughout this year, Philadelphia was among five major cities across North America to announce moving its main theater awards to a gender-inclusive system, as Philly was the second to to announce nominees in this format alongside Toronto, San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago. Tackling this structural adjustment did not solely include editing award titles, but actually having people of all races, genders and sexualities review nominated work. This year, the Barrymores’ 80 nominators, as well as the 12 judges who make the final decisions, were asked to provide demographic information for both existing and potential members,

This year’s Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre is moving to South Philly’s Bok building. The ceremony is also moving toward a gender-inclusive system for nominations. more appropriate for the thespians. “We recognized that there are performers in our community who – asking them to put themselves into one of those categories is harmful, inaccurate, confusing – not something they want to do,” Goldenberg added. Even if classic or new roles are written with concrete cisgender characters, Di Monaco says the performers portraying them should not feel attached to those labels. “We have this incredible community of gender-nonconforming, non-binary, trans artists that are representing these characters, and so, how do you honor their performance? And the answer is, you don’t put them in a binary,” Di Monaco said. “You open the category.” Both Di Monaco and Goldenberg say this colossal revision aligns with another re-approach of this year’s Barrymores, as, also for the first time, the ceremony will be held in the auditorium of the former Edward W. Bok Technical High School. Transplanting this nearly 25-yearold ceremony from a traditional theater

public school space in East Passyunk Crossing also echoes a change in the community – the influx of artists flocking to South Philly. “The fabric of South Philadelphia is changing … I look around and I’m like – there are a lot of traditional values represented here,” Di Monaco said. “And, I think that that’s beautiful and there’s also a lot of new communities expanding and changing, and it’s making for really great food and really great art.” From jewelers to painters, Bok serves as a hub of pulsating creativity, making the building truly lend itself to this year’s Barrymores. Goldenberg says the Barrymores’ reach is a 35-mile radius from City Hall, so the board must consider how the ceremony is representing all of those regions, including companies, artists and audiences. The Barrymores, commonly known as Philly’s “Theatre Prom,” will undoubtedly live up to this sobriquet this year, as following the ceremony, after parties will be held in two of Bok’s

other as a piano bar. “It is a school, and it is a repurposed space, but it’s also a repurposed space that a lot of arts performances have happened in,” Di Monaco said. “ So, I think that’s cool. I think it kind of like highlights the beauty of nontraditional venues and repurposing. The arts have been doing that forever and ever.” Still, several aspects of the ceremony remain, including live performances, the distribution of $75,000 in cash prizes and the presentation of special and grant awards, such as the F. Otto Haas Award for an Emerging Philadelphia Theatre Artist and the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is being given to Paul Meshejian of PlayPenn this year. But, comprehensively, this year’s Barrymore Awards depict a changing social climate on more than one level. Serving as a top-tier for Philadelphia art, the revised setting is intended to make amendments even past the parameters of performance. “We’re feeling good that we’re on the leading edge of this,” Goldenberg said. “A thing that I keep saying is that arts are where we make change and lead on change, and if we can say in our awards program this is a value that we hold, then that will trickle back to the organizations that participate with us and their producing and casting decisions and also the audiences who will be able to see themselves on stage.” For information how how to attend, visit www.theatrephiladelphia.org/barrymore-awards.

Tyisha Bates makes something from struggle By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

survivor of domestic abuse, things were never easy for South Philly resident Tyisha Bates. “I was broken,” she said about her physical condition in the wake of her abuse, which started in 2000. “My ribs were broken. All my teeth were gone.” The following year, she was sent to the hospital because of it, and things didn’t get any easier when the doctor told her she was pregnant. “I initially wasn’t ready for all that,” she said, “but at the same time I was kind of dealing with the tragedy so it was hard raising him. But I did it.” Things were up and down for Bates throughout the next decade or so. In 2012, things really started to get bad. “My depression became so so deep to when I actually tried to take my own life,” she said. “And then it’s just like back and into therapy and medications, trying to find that weight to come up

out of that situation, but it was hard. I couldn’t find my way.” She was unemployed and lived off welfare and child support from 2012 to 2017. In 2017, she decided she needed a change. Because of a diagnosed mental condition, she had received an exemption from welfare for having to enter a work ready program. As a result, she was entitled to cash benefits. In October 2017, she could have renewed the exemption, but decided against it. “I went in there and I said ‘I don’t want to renew it. Put me in a work program. I’m ready to go back to work,’” she said. From there, Bates was connected with CareerLink, part of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry’s initiative to connect residents with good-paying, family-supporting jobs. Bates was connected with Amber Key, lead instructor at CareerLink Suburban Station, whom she had a deep and engaging conversation with after one of Key’s workshops. “I think one of the things I said was

that you don’t have to look like what you’ve been through,” Key said of her conversation with Bates. “And that you don’t have to appear as if you’re broken. Sometimes that happens. That might sound a little superficial, but the thought behind that was that when you feel better about yourself and when you look better you feel better and when you feel better you perform better.” Bates took that to heart. The very next day, she was “dressed to the nines,” as Key put it. “It was like those clothes were sitting in her house waiting for her to put them on,” she said. “That makeup was just ready for her.” From then on, there was a difference in Bates, according to Key. She started to take on roles and tasks she hadn’t before. She “took ownership” over her life and started putting herself in positions to go to the next level. But it involved much more than simply dressing well. During her time at CareerLink, Bates did three internships. The first two were directly See BATES, page 12>>

Time to lookout for environment, say local watchmakers The sustainable timepieces from South Philly looking out for the Mother Earth, one sale at a time By Kerith Gabriel SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

here one might just see an interesting looking watch, Lorenzo Buffa sees biodiversity, environmental sustainability, deforestation prevention, and economic stability for an entire region of Europe. Buffa is the co-founder of Analog Watch Co., a fashion house along a stretch of East Passyunk Avenue that makes all of its creations entirely from environmentally sustainable or recycled materials. Buffa, who began the company in 2013 backed by a $75,000 Kickstarter campaign, has turned his tiny South Philly showroom into a leader in sustainable fashion, selling watches worldwide and donating proceeds from every sale to replenish whatever materials were used. Over those last five years, the company has created fashionable eyewear, purses and wallets all made from sustainable materials, but it’s Analog’s latest endeavor that returned the company to its watch-making roots, a series of timepieces made from cork and dyed in red, white and blueberry wines, appropriately called the Somm Collection. Also deeply entrenched in its roots is Analog financed this project once again through Kickstarter, seeking just a $10,000 goal, a number it surpassed in less than 10 days of the campaign. At the time of this report, there were 144 people backing this latest project to the tune of $14,529 with 20 days still remaining in the campaign. Not a bad last five years for Buffa, a former unemployed art school graduate sick and tired of doing custodial work to make ends meet turned entrepreneur and a driver in sustainable fashion. “Over the years, we’ve always used natural materials in everything we make, and when we started talking about using corks, wine came up given the related concept,” Buffa said during a conversation with PW. “So we thought ‘why not use wine itself to die the cork?’ The idea really came out of

Special to the Sun/Analog Watch Co.

Lorenzo Buffa, right, started Analog Watch Co. in 2013, after struggling to find meaningful work and doing custodial work to make ends meet. Buffa is pictured with Analog’s creative assistant/designer Andi Maddalo. our own desire to continue to produce something with a natural material.” The watches come in four different wine offerings, Chardonnay, Cassis, Sake and course, Rosé. The armbands are then dipped in wine which even offers a bit of science as Buffa notes that wine doubles as a dye because of the tannins, a natural binding substance that sticks to everything – even your teeth if you drink enough of it. “There’s cork products out there, like cork bags, cork wallets, but from what I’ve seen there’s really nothing extra that makes them unique or special,” said Buffa. “So we decided to pursue dyeing.” The idea came from a love of wine but also a love of Mother Earth for Buffa. As aforementioned, a primary mission of his company is to replenish whatever materials were sourced to create a product. Since the open of Analog, the company has given thousands of dollars back to sustainability groups to replace trees and repay farmers.

For the Somm Collection, the same principles are in mind, as Analog paired up with the Cork Forest Preservation Alliance to plant another oak cork tree and continue not just the survival of a forest, but ensure cork as a viable sustainable material for years to come. “The sustainability piece comes in a couple of different ways [for us at Analog],” said Buffa. “Just using cork itself is really critical. More than 90 percent of the world’s cork trees are located in Spain and Portugal, and if people stopped using cork for materials, the farm and farmers would no longer be necessary and the land these cork forests sit on would literally become desert.” Cork bark comes from Cork Oak trees, a tree that can live for up to 300 years replenishing its bark repeatedly over its lifespan. According to the CFPA, cork is one of the highest paying forestry professions in Europe and with there being enough cork in the forests of Spain and Portugal alone to

ensure work for 100 years, there’s no shortage of job opportunities and economic stability. Additionally, cork forests are protected by European laws against deforestation. But it’s Buffa who reminds us of another important fact when it comes to Analog’s latest design and its impact on our planet. “We are extremely fortunate that cork trees grow because [it lives normally] in a very difficult climate and environment,” he said. “It’s 7.1 million acres that if not harvested and replenished would become barren, deserted land. It’s also the third-most biodiverse forest in the world with other plant life living among the forest of cork trees.” His passion for sustainability and the environment probably fueled bloated numbers but he’s not far off. The CFPA claims the entire 6.6 million acres of cork forest region stretches across Spain and Portugal, but also extends into Algeria, Morocco, Italy, Tunisia and France, it’s a forest that supports a level of biodiversity, second only to the 1.7 billion acres of the lush Amazon rainforest. Numbers aside, Buffa hopes the watches not only offer the ideal fashion statement, but with all of his pieces an opportunity to spark conversation about our ever-changing planet. “It’s important to us that we work with products that help our environment, not hurt it,” Buffa said. “There’s a lot of thought that goes into what we do and much of that thought is how can we give back or effectively impact something else. When I started out doing this I saw a need for wearable fashion that doesn’t hurt our planet. There are so many materials out there that can be repurposed or used that don’t affect our world and in some cases actually help it for the better. Working with cork serves a lot of good purpose and it’s helped us create a collection, I stand by and am really proud because I know in a small way, we’re making a difference.” Analog Watch Co. in open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 1737 E. Passyunk Ave. More info at analogwatchco.com.

ALEXIS: String Theory senior didn’t let cancer hold her back

<<Continued from page 1 which was good for me...I’d rather be with my friends and keep my mind away from it than just sit home and mope about it.” Throughout this past summer, Carine underwent several rounds of chemotherapy treatments, averaging a three-night stay at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia every 21 days, including smaller treatment sessions on Fridays. Following the chemo, Carine received radiation at Pennsylvania Hospital from late July to mid-August, ending just as the South Philadelphia High School girls’ volleyball practices began. A rising senior and the new team captain, Carine, who started volleyball her freshman year, was determined to return to her team, which is comprised of girls from String Theory and the Girard Academic Music Program. Since the squad, which went undefeated with a 12-0 record last year in the Silver Division, lost all of its senior starters, Carine would be the only re-

turning starter playing this season leading the novice players. Just one day after radiation ended, she was in South Philadelphia High School’s gym guiding the girls. “I was astounded,” said Anthony Scafidi, the team’s head coach. “Everytime I called her, I expected her to maybe be a little bit down or feel weak...but she was just amazingly upbeat about the entire thing.” Scafidi recalls text messaging Carine during treatments this summer, encouraging the athlete to not push herself to attend August practices. But Carine refused to retreat. “I will be back better than ever in August,” she wrote back to him. “You aren’t losing me that easy.” “I just wanted to be strong and still go on with my life and not let this hold me back from doing something that I love,” Carine said. “I feel like, it would help me grow as a person if I just kept fighting and not let these battles ruin me...I just didn’t want to quit that easily. I wanted to pull through and not

GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

String Theory School senior Alexis Carine was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma earlier this year. let it stop me from playing volleyball, because I love volleyball. So, I didn’t want it to stop me from playing, because that would probably break me more.” Although the team went 0-12 this season, confronting some of the best teams in the district, Scafidi says the group of 20 was not dispirited even once, incessantly supporting one another despite the losses. The coach attributes this attitude to Carine’s optimism, feeling as though her energy innately spilled upon the

other girls. “The whole team, with her leading, never once got down,” he said. “They never bickered amongst each other. They were on the bench cheering like crazy for each other. Every point mattered, and I thought to myself, ‘I’ve been coaching 35 years. I’ve never seen a team as resilient as this team.’” With volleyball drawing to a close, Carine is focused on joining either the basketball or swim team to finish out her senior year. Even though she’s acquired passions

and experience in athletics and the arts, Carine is applying to colleges across the country in hopes to study medicine, as she dreams of becoming a pediatric nurse specifically focusing on neonatology. Carine has aspired to enter the medical field since she was a child, but she says receiving cancer treatments among young children intensified this yearning. Although Carine’s aptitudes allow for no limits in her possibilities, the 18-year-old’s attitude will ultimately lend her success. Currently in remission, Carine is moving into the next phase of her life. And like a butterfly, she’s ready to soar. “I think (having cancer) taught me to keep my faith through everything, because there’s always positives through a negative, and I just feel like, if you keep the right mindset, and don’t think about being mopey and miserable, it can have a bright outlook,” she said. “And people can get very inspired. I still get inspired by other things.”

BATES: South Philly woman turns past struggles into success <<Continued from page 8 with CareerLink, the first in job development and the second as an instructor. Her third internship was with JEVS Human Services, the company that operates CareerLink. There she interned as a receptionist at JEVS headquarters on Walnut Street. While she interned, she searched for jobs. “I want to be honest, Tyisha didn’t find a job like that,” said Key. “I don’t think that she was necessarily doing anything wrong. It wasn’t easy to find her employment, but I also think that it

speaks to her tenacity and motivation and endurance to keep on going because there was plenty of times where I know she was like ‘OK, I’m done with this interning thing. I want to move on. I want to get a job.’ It didn’t come fast, but she was still doing what she needed to do every single day.” She eventually found a job in April with a company called Logistics, but only stayed there for a month until she found a better job at Community Behavioral Health, a not-for-profit 501c (3) corporation contracted by the City of Philadelphia

to provide mental health and substance abuse services for Philadelphia County Medicaid recipients. Earlier this month, Bates was the recipient of the Strictly Business Award, given by JEVS to honor some of the best success stories to come out of its program. The week prior, she was a recipient of the Phoenix Award given by Harambe Social Services. That award is given to survivors of domestic abuse and people who advocate against it. Now that Bates is back on her feet, she’s proud of what she’s become. Not only for herself, but for

her three boys: Khaleeq, 17; Khaseer, 10; and Alameen, 5. “They all got their different ways of expressing their appreciation,” Bates said. What advice does she have for others who are in the same position Bates used to be? “Don’t give up on life and don’t give up on hope,” she said. “My quote is ‘wake up and speak up.’ Once you do that, it’s a whole different journey for you. Find your voice. Don’t be silent anymore.”

CARDELLA: It’s scary how things have changed in this country <<Continued from page 5 trick or treaters must wear a “costume.” The definition of “costume” is very flexible. Is merely wearing a mask enough? How about just a sheet? Sometimes these protectors of the Halloween tradition also require that only children get candy. No Kit-Kats for adults. Halloween, for them, is their chance to be “Grinchy.” Hey, why should Halloween be any different from the way some of us act the other 364 days of the year? Halloween and horror movies naturally go together. I’ve never quite understood our celluloid monsters. They’re a lot less scary than the real monsters in our lives. Take zombies

for instance. Is there anyone who can’t outrun a zombie? Same thing for The Mummy. The Mummy isn’t going to remind anyone of Usain Bolt. And why is it there’s only one Mummy? Archaeologists have “disturbed” lots of tombs over the years, but strangely only one of the mummies has seemed to have taken exception to it. Enough to go around killing people in search of an old girlfriend. Then there are the movies about crazy hillbillies who prey on college kids. Why are college kids wandering into crazy hillbilly territory in the first place when they might run out of gasoline? The kids are so smug, I always

wind up rooting for the crazy hillbillies. Michael Myers is frightening, but I really think by now he ought to leave Jamie Lee Curtis alone. Besides, it’s well known that serial killers are more likely to look like handsome Ted Bundy than Michael Myers. And why doesn’t anyone ever call him “Mike”? Jason in “Friday the 13th” wears a goalie mask for some reason. Wouldn’t you think he’d be easy enough for the cops to spot wearing a goalie mask? Personally, the way the Flyers goalies tend goal, they scare me more than Jason. Freddie gets into your nightmares, but would he be as scary if he just vis-

ited his local dermatologist? The old monsters seem quaint. Frankenstein was really a nice guy who killed people only because he was clumsy. And Frankenstein needs to find a bride with a better hairdo. Dracula tends to visit women wearing nighties in the dead of night. He would never have survived the #MeToo movement today. And if all it took to scare him away is a clove of garlic, Dracula would never get near our home during meal time. I felt sorry for The Wolfman. I often checked my own hand for “the sign of the pentagram.” As a kid, I had only one question – if you could only turn

into a werewolf by being bitten by another werewolf, how did we get the first werewolf? In Trump’s America, we don’t need Halloween. We’re already scared. Pipe bombs sent through the mail to those whose political differences make them enemies. Going after CNN because someone dangerous out there believes the news media is the “enemy of the people.” The craziness that brands a trio of grandmothers – Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Diane Feinstein – as monsters destroying America. Do we even know the real monsters from the fake ones anymore?

he Eagles ended the first half the season at 4-4 after defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-18 in London on Sunday. They head into their bye week with many questions that need to be addressed if they are to make a run and get into the playoffs and defend their title. Injuries have been a burden for this team since the beginning of 2017. It never seems to end. Wide receivers Mike Wallace and Mack Hollins, tight end Richard Rogers and running back Darren Sproles have been out all or most of the season, and it remains to be seen when they will return. Safety Rodney McLeod and running back Jay Ajayi, both starters, are gone for the year with injuries. All Pro offensive tackle Jason Peters is in and out of the lineup each week. Currently the Birds are dealing with new injuries to cornerback Jalen Mills and All Pro offensive tackle Lane Johnson. As of Monday afternoon, Head Coach Doug Pederson said he had no idea how long either of these players would be out. The coach was asked if he had any news about players who have been on the injured reserve list for a while. “We’ve got a couple guys that we’re going to evaluate here in the next couple of weeks,” Pederson said. “Richard Rodgers is one of those guys. He got hurt in preseason, and so he’s getting close. Mack Hollins is there. Mike Wallace is going to be a little bit later because of the lateness of his injury. And then of course being on the active roster is Sproles. Sproles is another one that we’re going to continue to monitor each day, each week. “These guys are doing a heck of a job with their rehab,” Pederson continued. “Obviously, they want to get back out on the field. We’ve got some time this week to get them ready and see where we’re at next week.” While quarterback Carson Wentz has only thrown two interceptions in the six games he has played this season, he has fumbled seven times, losing six of them. Against the Jaguars, he ended two drives with turnovers. On the bright side, the Birds’ offense produced 395 total yards including 133 rushing yards. The offense scored 24 points on a good defense. “We moved the ball well,” Wentz said. “That’s the thing. That’s the positive sign. Obviously, those drives that ended with turnovers are on my part. Those are things we’ve got to clean up. The interception, (Jalen) Ramsey made a heck of a play. He kind of came out of nowhere. That’s

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Carson Wentz appear to be on same page on how to utilize the bye week. a good player making a play. I’ve got to make a better read. The fumble, that was unfortunate. The positive sign is we were moving the ball, we knew we were capable of it right away and we just built off of that.” On Monday, Pederson was asked if he talked to his quarterback about keeping his grip on the rock when he is under pressure. “Obviously the ball security thing, you can see with his mobility and being able to move in the pocket and stuff like that,” Pederson responded. “Yeah, we keep talking about that and yesterday we had the fumble and of course he had the pick – listen, we keep shooting, man. We keep shooting. It’s hard to take away the aggressiveness because you don’t want to. He knows he’s got to protect the football. We talk about it. We just have to keep on it.” With the depleted running back corps, it looked like the Eagles were starting to abandon the running game. Against the Panthers, the Eagles as a team rushed for just 58 yards. Against the Jaguars, the running game was a big part of the win despite all the injuries to the offensive line.

Wendell Smallwood’s 10-yard run for a first down late in the fourth quarter iced the game for the Eagles. The rumors have been out there for a few weeks that the Eagles were in the market to trade for a running back. Smallwood and Josh Adams – the former Council Rock South standout – want to make that a difficult decision for the front office. Against the Jaguars, Adams rushed nine times for 61 yards. Smallwood had just 28 yards on eight carries but caught two passes for 42 yards including a screen pass that turned into a 36-yard touchdown. Pederson was asked about last year’s running back corps that included LeGarrette Blount, a player at 247 pounds, that gave him a strong, short-yardage, kind-of force kind of guy. Does Pederson think he has that type of back now? Is Adams, at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, the right back for that role? “I think we have that guy,” Pederson said. “If you go back and watch the game, I called a few more third-and-two, third-and-three runs that we converted, and of course Josh was in the game at

the time. Wendell had some tough runs. He had a tough run at the end of the game to ice the game, basically. So, we’re very comfortable. Corey [Clement] is another one that can get us those yards. And really, a lot of that starts up front. I thought our offensive line blocked extremely well against a tremendous front against Jacksonville. I feel real comfortable with the guys we have back there.” Wentz wasn’t thinking about changing the roster, especially at running back. He said the key is spreading the ball to more players, not personnel. “We’re real confident in the guys we have here, whoever that is,” Wentz said. “Catching the ball out of the backfield, running backs, tight ends, everybody. It’s usually when we get a lot of guys involved. Shoot, I even had a catch today, so we were spreading the ball around.” Against the Panthers and Tennessee Titans, the Eagles failed to hold big leads. The offense simply stalled in the fourth and the defense looked gassed. Wentz said he was glad to see that did not happen against Jacksonville. “We finished, at the end of the day we finished,” Wentz said. “We still didn’t finish the way we wanted to. Offensively we had that chance to seal the deal (in the fourth quarter), but we went three-and-out which was unfortunate. But defense stepped up. At the end of the day we finished well this week; obviously last week, we didn’t.” Wentz said going into the bye week with a win and a 4-4 record certainly beat the alternative. “Huge difference,” Wentz said. “Begin .500 again, still not where we wanted to be or where we had hoped to be, but going into the bye week knowing that the real meat of our schedule, the NFC East is ahead of us when we come back from this bye is huge momentum heading into this.” Wentz said that, during the break, he was going to self-evaluate his penchant for fumbling. “It sucks, “ Wentz said of his ball security. “It’s something I’ve got to clean up. I’ve got to look in the mirror and say how can I protect the ball a little bit better. Sometimes it’s just getting the ball out earlier, finding my guys faster. That’s something I’m definitely looking at.” Wentz said the break in the schedule came at the right time this year. “I think everyone needs a week off,” Wentz said. “This is the National Football League. Guys are getting hit and beaten up all year long. Fortunately ours falls right in the middle of our season, which is nice. But that week off is huge for people’s minds and their bodies, to heal up and get away from the game for a couple days. We need to get our minds right, come back and make this run.” Wentz, for one, seems to know what needs to be done to accomplish that.

EAGLES INSIDER

Midway through season, we still don’t know this team

ill in the blank: At 4-4, the Eagles are ______. It’s not that easy, is it? Even after eight games, the truth is that we really don’t know who the Eagles are or how they’re going to treat the final eight games of this 2018 regular season. A year ago, it was easy to complete the sentence. They were a dominating 7-1 team. Quarterback Carson Wentz was carving up defenses working with a league-best offensive line and the Jim Schwartz-led defense danced its way to continual punishing football. By the time the midway point of 2017 rolled around, the Philadelphia Eagles were recognized as a definite Super Bowl contender. One season later, as the Eagles have time off for the bye week, it’s much more muddled. The offense is nowhere

close to where it needs to be. Wentz has been outstanding in the six games he’s played since returning from ACL knee surgery, throwing 13 touchdown passes and only two interceptions. Making those numbers even more impressive is the fact that he’s done it playing behind an offensive line that isn’t playing at its 2017 level and with a running game that ranks in the bottom half of the league and with a receiving corps that lacks a true deep threat. The defense has been bending all

season, breaking in late-game losses to Tennessee and Carolina, but generally doing just enough to keep the Eagles close each week. But injuries to safety Rodney McLeod and defensive end Derek Barnett cloud the long-range prospects that the Eagles can turn it up a notch defensively. Maybe the best answer is this: At 4-4, the Eagles are … still in the game in the NFC East. They’re two games in the loss column behind Washington, but the teams play twice in the final weeks of the season. In all, the Eagles have five games remaining against NFC East opponents, so they certainly control their playoff destiny. But other than that, there’s just no telling where the Eagles are headed. They have yet to establish an identity, particularly offensively. The line of scrimmage faces injury concerns to

tackles Jason Peters (biceps and other weekly concerns) and Lane Johnson (knee injury suffered in win over Jacksonville). Even with the miniemergence of rookie running back Josh Adams, a Warrington, Pa. native and Central Bucks South High School graduate, the running game is inconsistent at best to date. Who is the deep threat? “We’re feeling a lot better at 4-4 with a whole half season ahead of us,” said tight end Zach Ertz, who is having the best season of his career with 61 receptions, tied for second-most in the NFL. “But we know we have a lot of work to do. We know we can play better than we’ve played. I think the important thing is to enjoy this bye week, rest up and get some players back and then take charge in the second half of the season and play Philadelphia Eagles football.”

Eight games in, this isn’t exactly “the new normal” that head coach Doug Pederson envisioned in the day following the win in Super Bowl LII. There is certainly time for the Eagles to gain some rhythm, yes, and with Wentz improving week by week, it’s possible the Eagles will go on a tear in the season’s second half. More likely, though, it’s going to be a grind the rest of the way, and that’s OK. Last year’s ride was, maybe, once in a lifetime the way the Eagles steamrolled teams week after week. The “old normal” can still work if the offense gives Wentz time to make his magic. He’s the one to lead the Eagles and in his third NFL season, he’s carrying the weight of expectations on his broad shoulders very capably.

Viagra’s Sex Pill Monopoly Is Over

Since 1993, three brands have dominated the men’s sexual performance market. Now there’s a fourth, Vesele. And the difference is amazing… SAN DIEGO − A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire. Since it’s not a drug, it’s something very different, it won’t require a perscription and is priced just under a $1 a dose.

This is what makes Vesele so different. It provides the blood stream with nitric oxide which cause arteries to relax. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more.

The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work on the body and mind, supporting firmer and harder erections

The result is an increase in hardness and maintenance and frequent sex when it is taken daily.

Formulated with a special compound known as a blood flow boosters, Vesele can transport its active ingredients in higher levels into the blood stream, where it begins to work. The patent pending ingredient increases nitric oxide production, initiating a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to relax. This allows blood to flow to penis and genitals, promoting stronger, harder erection which last longer. But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that a small portion of this blood flows to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on. This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in human clinical use survey trial. It increases blood flow to the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clearer with the data backing Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood flow, men are harder and firmer for longer...and have higher sex drives. “Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Henry Esber, from the company who created Vesele. According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $25 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time.

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of latest human clinical use survey trial, Vesele is now being offering in the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding. Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be. In the trial above, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 45.1% improvement in erection hardness from baseline over a four-month period. Their erections also lasted twice as long. These same men also experienced an astounding 27% increase in the desire for sex (libido/sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.

Higher Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. The FDA considers all to be safe. Research shows that with age, many men struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration. And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes your erection hard. But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive. That’s because blood supplies energy for the brain. This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal. Studies show that nitric oxide stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis. The higher concentration of the ingredients in Vesele combined with the accelerator ensures that this process continues to work over time.

Expiring Patent Opens the Door to a New Sex Pill: Vesele is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose and does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and erection hardness.

The sexual benefits of Vesele will start to show as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

The Same Study Shows Positive Effects on Women In the same outstanding study referenced throughout, Vesele was also shown to have a surprising effect on women too. That’s because the same arteries and vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain and genitals are the same in men and women. “In our study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 23.7% and 20.4% improvement in arousal and sex drive over baseline. You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together. Everything feels better. Everything works better. Everyone performs better.

A New Frontier of Non-Prescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) with their sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense. Through a patented accelerate, Vesele’s formula is better absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in remarkable improvements in erection firmness and hardness. And with better blood flow, users also experienced sexual feeling they haven’t felt in years.

Where to Find Vesele This is the official release of Vesele in Pennsylvania. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to any reader who calls within the next 48 hours. A special hotline number and discounted pricing has been created for all Pennsylvania residents. Discounts will be available starting today at 6:00AM and will automatically be applied to all callers.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: “Kathy Conway, her son Patrick and their amazing team give buyers and sellers the respect, professionalism and years of experience every homeowner needs in their corner before entering into what may well be the largest financial and emotional decision of their lives. I first met Kathy twenty years ago when I popped into one of her open houses. I had fallen in love with Queen Village and knew immediately that she would the one to guide me through my first home purchase in the neighborhood she calls home. Everyone knows, loves and informs her which served me well as the home I purchased was on the market for one day! It was historic (I was looking for new construction) well UNDER my price point but she thought I should see it as she had heard it was a very special home. It was. There were three offers that first day and Kathy Conway negotiated the details for me and I WON! Nineteen happy years later it was time to move south so I called my friend Kathy and once again the home had three offers in two days! I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so as I know that in her capable hands the experience of buying and selling a home will be delightful.” Kate Gerrity

FIVE-YEAR REVIEW GIRARD POINT MANAGEMENT AREA NAVAL STATION PHILADELPHIA, PA The Department of the Navy, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), has begun a fourth five-year review of the remedy implemented at the Girard Point Management Area Landfill at the former Naval Station Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the five-year review is to ensure that the selected remedy for this Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) site is effectively protecting public health and the environment. The five-year review process is mandated under CERCLA (also known as Superfund) for sites where the selected remedial action results in contaminants remaining above levels that do not allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. The information gathered will be evaluated to determine whether the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment. It is anticipated that the fiveyear review process will be completed in June 2019, and a final report will be available at that time. The Navy will conduct interviews, review reports, and assess site conditions to evaluate if the remedies remain protective of human health and the environment. Public participation is encouraged and welcomed. If you are interested in participating in the interview process, please contact the BRAC Environmental Coordinator. FOR MORE INFORMATION If you have any questions, or wish to discuss the project, please contact Mr. Paul Burgio, BRAC Environmental Coordinator at 4911 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19112 or phone (215)897-4903.
