Amanda L. SnyderReview Managing Ed itor

Since March 21, workers in bright yellow vests have been hitting the streets to pick up litter, sweep side-

walks and remove graffi ti on and around East Passyunk Avenue.

The crew from the Center City-based ABM Janitorial Services will be utilized twice a day, six days a week along the ave-nue and its immediate area while outlying parts of the Passyunk Avenue Revitaliza-

tion Corp.’s boundaries — Federal Street to Snyder Avenue and Broad to Ninth streets — will be tidied up twice a week.

ABM won the contract by the resurrect-ed nonprofi t, formerly Citizens Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, which halted its cleaning services April 30, 2009 due to ongoing litigation that resulted from its founder — former state Sen. Vincent Fumo — and former head — Ruth Arnao — be-ing convicted of multiple counts of fraud for stealing from the nonprofi t. Its board members were forced to resign as part a

settlement in the state suit brought on by then-Attorney General Tom Corbett, which included the court appointing Paul Levy as interim conservator to fi nd whether or not the organization could be revived.

Levy saw potential, so it relaunched in January after the court approved his fi nd-ings. With new Executive Director Sam Sherman Jr., the group made plans to re-sume some of its cleaning services and maintain its duties as a landlord to many

Desires for certain joys may decline as one ages, but a hunger to halt hunger never droops.

Eighteen future food specialists at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S.

To the EditorWell homeowners, it looks like City

Council has done it again. Its mem-bers seemed to have found a new way to steal money from all of the city’s homeowners. If you haven’t noticed, our real estate taxes have gone up. For me, it is the third increase in three years. Rather than increase the assessed value of all of the homes in the city, which would be a monstrous task because they would have to do each house in the city one at a time, City Council members have found a way to increase your taxes.

There is a thing called millage rate connected to the amount of taxes each homeowner pays. Mayor Michael Nutter wants all residents (including those whose taxes he increased) to get out on April 2 and clean up the mess in the streets.

In his open letter to residents (“Keep up the sweep up!,” March 24) I quote, “Once again, let’s join forces and set out to make this our biggest cleanup yet.” I agree we should join forces and set out to make this our biggest cleanup yet by cleaning out City Hall starting with Michael Nut-ter and go right though City Council.

Don’t forget what these people are doing to us especially those of us who are struggling to make ends meet. We can do this at voting time the next time we go to the polls.

Let us make a clean sweep then.

George Munce South Philadelphia

True gritTo the Editor:

In America the streets are paved with gold, but not in South Philly. They are littered with tons of cinder ash and gravel as an aftermath of the waves of the street treatments for the never ending ice and snow storms. (Not to mention the endless street construction — like Porter Street — plumber ditches and PGW).

The crunching sound while driving and parking and/or walking on un-even jags of stones has risen to a level above tolerance. There is no excuse! The City government has added tons of crust to fi lth-adelphia by not tidy-ing up. I think as taxpaying citizens we deserve better.

We know salt endangers the envi-

ronment but it dissolves, and the big but is the ash grinds and damages the roadway surfaces and the pavements, wears on tires and gets into every crack. Then it is tracked onto house carpets and car mats. It makes my head itch and requires more time and money to clean. Worst yet, the sewer lines cannot take the ash, and fl ood-ing and clogging results. Sounds like a no-win.

This winter did you wonder why the city streets’ surfaces had ice that would not go away? Well, the answer is the ash and sand compacts the ice, making it harder, more like cement. A real slippery slope. So, the city and state dumped a mixture of salt and ash to save budget money. Is it smart and economical?

Ladies and gents, the City will not be sweeping it away and it won’t be the summer wind to blow it across the sea, or be totally washed away by the April showers. The city’s message is “go pound sand.” So, to have a clean block it will be up to us Cinder-fella’s and Cinder-gals to sweep it up one pan or pound at a time or say adios partner, hit the trail and ride off into the sunset!

John Nacchio Jr.South Philadelphia

The fl ip-fl op policy To the Editor:

Mayor Michael Nutter and Coun-cilman Bill Green are opponents of the DROP program, but will endorse Councilwoman Marian Tasco be-cause they say she is the better can-didate for the job. They’ll probably endorse Marge Tartaglione and Maria Donatucci also. And the Democratic party chairman will probably endorse them all. How do they know who’s better if you don’t give anyone else a chance?

The Republican party (even though we are the minority party) is the only one with cojones to publicly say it wouldn’t endorse Councilmen-at-Large Frank Rizzo and Jack Kelly, Councilwomen Donna Reed, Joan Krajewski, Council President Anna Verna and Councilman Frank DiCic-co saw the writing on the wall and said that they wouldn’t run. God only knows what kind of deals were made for this to happen. Who promised jobs to whom?

That’s the way politics works in this city. The Democrats have been mak-ing back-room deals for more than 50 years that I can remember. It’s time to stop this by putting term limits on any elected offi cial that doesn’t have one yet. The mayor and governor have limits, so everyone else should. Back when Mayor Frank Rizzo wanted to change the charter to run a third time the voters shot in down. How about if we put a question on the ballot for the voters and ask whether or not they want all elected offi cials to have term limits and see what happens.

As for any elected offi cial who complains about something and then does the opposite they should wear fl ip-fl ops while in offi ce. Better yet, they should be given out when they’re put in offi ce.

Never Say GoodbyeMarch 25

I must have been 11 or 12 when I saw my grandma release her inner Mick Jagger.

That’s right: Marge, my gray-haired granny who must have been in her 80s at that point but with enough vivacity of a 20-something, was watching “Saturday Night Live” with my younger sister, Lisa, and me in the living room of her Southwest Philly rowhome when the night’s musical guest and his band (the Rolling Stones, for those who don’t know their classic rock) were introduced. I don’t remember their performance, probably because my eyes weren’t on the TV. They were fi xated on grandma, standing with her hands to her sides, hips gyrating, and lips puckered as to

imitate Mick’s massive mouth and manner-isms. In typical Jagger fashion, she’d thrust her arm in the air on occasion, almost as if she was having a spasm. Lisa and I laughed so hard, the neighbors probably thought we were being tickled to death.

I had no idea Grams knew who Mick was, let alone the way he shimmied on stage. What wasn’t surprising was this en-ergy of hers I became so accustomed to — an energy that got her through an array of medical scares, including a bout with can-cer right around the time I was born, and kept her as active as a energetic teenager. If my grandma struggled with something, you’d never know it; complaining wasn’t her style. Her cure to any of her ailments was a simple one: Quality time with her family and a big meal. It’s diffi cult for me to describe the sense of joy I witnessed on her face when in the presence of her three sons, in-laws, grandchildren, friends, etc. since I have nothing to compare it to. I’ve never met anyone else whose basic need for sheer happiness was fulfi lled ... SPR

By Amanda L. SnyderReview Managing Ed itor

A man was found in critical condi-tion after receiving multiple bullet wounds and crashing his car into a

building Friday. Police found the 29-year-old behind

the wheel of his crashed gold 1997 Nis-san on the 1100 block of South 16th Street at 10:50 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While the auto, which had front-end damage, caused some harm to the home’s exterior, the Department of Li-censes and Inspections deemed it to have no structural damage.

The man, who was wounded behind his left ear and twice each in his left leg, left side and left arm, was conscious, but did not provide police with any details or a description of the offenders, Tolliver said. EMT personnel removed him from the car and transported him to the Hos-pital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was taken into surgery.

Police recovered ballistics evidence and planned to check surveillance video from a police pole camera located at 16th and Federal streets, but, as of press time, the motive and the offenders were unknown.

To report information, call South Detec-tives at 215-686-3013.

Neighborhood grocer robbed Although the assailant has not yet been

caught, a Passyunk Square store’s surveil-lance equipment captured the store being robbed Saturday.

An unknown man armed with a black semi-automatic handgun entered Phil-amex Tienda Mexicana, 1341 S. Ninth St. at 9:47 p.m. and demanded its on-duty em-ployee to open the register, Detective Dan-ielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After she complied, the man snatched about $180 before fl eeing on foot.

The employee was unharmed, Tolliver said.

The man was described as white, age 26, 5-foot-10, 180 to 200 pounds and wear-ing a black hoody, blue jeans, a black ski mask and black gloves.


Attempted corruptor convictedA Whitman woman will spend up to 15

years in prison for attempting to bribe a juror in her boyfriend’s attempted murder trial.

Yolanda Watson, 42, was convicted of aggravated jury tampering — employing force or violence, obstructing administra-tion of the law and tampering with a jury Jan. 21 and sentenced Friday to one to two years each for the latter two convictions with a term of seven-and-a-half to 15 years running concurrently for the former, ac-cording to court documents. Watson, who was arrested a year ago for the charges, must complete citizen classes, gain em-ployment within six months of her release and remain under the supervision of the mental health unit upon release.

Her boyfriend Rico Lofton, 36, of the 400 block of Durfor Street, is serving 30 to 60 years in jail with no parole for one count of criminal conspiracy and three counts of aggravated assault, which he was convicted of March 8, 2010. Lofton fi red at a group of teens on the 600 block of Jackson Street at 3:10 p.m. Aug. 9, 2006 because he believed the teens beat up his son, according to the District At-torney’s Offi ce. However the shots struck two innocent passers-by — the left hand of an 18-month-old boy in a stroller and a 17-year-old boy’s left leg.

Suspect wantedAuthorities are offering an $1,000 re-

ward to someone who can lead them to a Grays Ferry man allegedly responsible for

various crimes. The United States

Marshal Service and Philadelphia Police hope to apprehend An-dre Cunningham, 19, who is suspected of threatening a woman by pointing a gun at her on the 2700 block of Wolf Street in Janu-

ary, is also allegedly responsible for other area shootings, U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force Supervisor James Burke said. His last known address is the 2100 block of South Taney Street.

He was described as age 19, 5-foot-8,

Access deniedA man attempted to break into an ATM

machine, but ran away when a good Sa-maritan confronted him Friday afternoon.

The man was kicking and pulling at the wires of a Hyosung Mini Bank ATM on the 2500 block of South Broad Street at 1:40 a.m. until a 58-year-old approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man did not gain access to the ATM’s safe.

He was described as white, age 21 to 25, 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-9, 180 pounds and wear-ing a blue jacket and gray sweatshirt.


Game overAfter being awoken, a man realized his

game system was stolen from his home.The 24-year-old man jumped from his

bed at 1:07 p.m. March 24 upon hearing his second-fl oor bedroom door open, De-tective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He heard someone run down stairs. When the man made it down the steps, he saw both his front and back doors were ajar and his Xbox 360 was missing.

The three suspects were described as age 15 to 16. One was black, 6 foot, thin and wearing a blue hoody. Another was black 5-foot-5 with a medium build and wear-ing a black tank top. There was no further information for the third.


Street shootersWitnesses saw a duo of shooters fi ring on

a Point Breeze street last week. Police have not located any victims or the gunmen.

Police arrived on the 2200 block of South Hemberger Street for reported gun-shots, but only found ballistics evidence, damage to a doorframe of a home and two vehicles on the block, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A red 1995 Ford and a silver Suzuki were hit on the rear of the passenger’s-side.

The fi rst armed man was described as black with a light complexion, 5-foot-7, thin and wearing a gray hoody and blue jeans while the second was described as wearing a green hoody. A third man wear-ing a black hoody was seen with the duo, but it is not known if he was armed.


Former fl ame dramaA Southwest woman allegedly assaulted

her ex’s new girl with her car outside a Pennsport kids’ play center.

Nydesha Brown is believed to have fol-lowed a 23-year-old, who is now dating her ex-boyfriend, from Chuck E. Cheese, 9 Snyder Ave., and punched her at 9:30 p.m. March 19, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After a brief fi ght, the 23-year-old walked to her car with a 23- and 43-year-old woman, as well as a 3- and 5-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. As she drove out of the parking lot, Brown allegedly smashed her 2001 Buick, which also contained three small children, into the rear of the woman’s vehicle damaging the bumper, taillight and quarter panel. Brown’s auto received a lot of front-end damage.

Video surveillance captured the crash. Brown was charged with six counts of

aggravated assault, simple assault, crimi-nal mischief, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering an-other person as well as one count of en-dangering the welfare of a child.

No soiling this soilBy Joseph MyersReview staff wr iter

In French author Voltaire’s novella “Candide,” the title character uses the metaphor “We must cultivate our gar-

den” to encourage his friends to balance life’s fortunes with its ills. For the last 12 years, Tracy Levesque has tended to a lit-eral area, serving as “the unoffi cial mayor” of the Bodine Street Community Garden, 914 S. Bodine St.

Her diligence and that of other Queen Village residents has won multiple honors, culminating in a national nod with their space’s inclusion in this month’s issue of Martha Stewart Living.

Levesque united with her horticultural helpers Sunday to clean up their space, which in August became an obsession for the magazine’s fi lm crew.

“I received an e-mail from a representa-tive and thought it was spam,” she said of learning last spring the publication, which discovered the green space via its website, http://bodinestreetgarden.org, craved a profi le of the three-lot-long stretch for its gardening issue.

A genuine request, the outreach fl oored Levesque, who, as an active voice for the garden since it faced destruction in 2003, scored her neighbors’ support. The team for the 20-year-old monthly visited Aug. 14 to 15, a time when the 12-plot garden is, according to Levesque, typically “buggy, weedy and dead,” but precautions kept it stellar for a weekend of footage and photos.

Replete with fl owers and vegetables from April through much of August, the garden hosts quaint block parties, but the visitors inspired a lavish gathering. Despite the tin-kering, the participants enjoyed their own recipes, with Levesque preparing grilled clams and Mia, her wife of seven years, of-fering vegetable lasagna for the potluck par-ty. Children made an heirloom tomato and herb salad, and a cupcake sunfl ower sated desires for dessert.

The issue, featuring a seven-page spread, hit stands last month and has generated further renown for what Levesque terms a “laid back garden.”

“We had a woman from South Carolina send us heirloom bean seeds for the kids,” she said of being able to encourage the gardening bug among her daughter Jose-phine, 4, and the other budding growers.

The exposure gives the space yet an-other plaudit. The Pennsylvania Horticul-tural Society named the 31-year-old tract the top vegetable garden in its ’08 and ’09 City Gardens contests.

“We all really love this garden,” Levesque said of plans to improve its infrastructure, which includes a new gate featuring a plant-ing guide, a fence, a water system and a path courtesy of a grant from the Neighbor-hood Gardens Association. “It’s a great way to protect urban green space and to get to know our neighbors.”

THE SPACE USED to be a prime spot for dumping debris and served as a shortcut for muggers’ escapes during Queen Vil-lage’s crime-fi lled 1970s identity. Phila-delphia Green, a PHS program devoted to urban renewal, made residents’ dreams for improved aesthetics realities by donat-ing fencing, seeds and topsoil, birthing the garden in June ’80. Locals acquired free lots over the next few years, and the space came to merit respect. As it neared its 20th year, the area needed more direction, fi nd-ing it in Levesque, a Bucks County native whose mother’s gardening background in-cited her desire to deal with dirt.

She could not, however, foresee dealing

with a dirt bag. In 2003, the previous owner put the space up for sale, a move Levesque feels Queen Village’s rising property val-ues inspired. With the 3,000-square-foot paradise in jeopardy, the “Save the Bodine Community Garden” campaign, complete with a website that Levesque and her wife crafted, fought back.

The residents’ activism, which involved hiring a lawyer, meeting with developers and reaching out to the Neighborhood Gar-dens Association, won the attention of 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco. The South Philadelphian used community de-velopment money to buy the land in ’07. The Neighborhood Gardens Association re-ceived the territory as a donation soon af-ter, making it one of its nine local points.

“We’ve enjoyed our most productive period since NGA became the owner,” Levesque said of knowing the expanse is preserved and being able to plot its future.

That new stage commenced Sunday. Levesque likes to hold three cleanups each year and saw the three-hour session as a

chance to inspire many of the 20 garden-ers for the planting season, which begins in earnest in only a few days.

Entering the garden, one can immediate-ly marvel at local artist Isaiah Zagar’s mo-saic tile mural “The Garden Goddesses,” a May ’00 work that dominates the left-side wall. Four others adorn the right-hand par-tition, with one situated just above a garlic plant Levesque sowed last fall.

The day’s primary task called for her and her cronies to move the raspberry and straw-berry lots to make room for two new spots. Working on revitalizing the kids’ plot also made Levesque eager to soil her gloves.

“Slugs have had their way with the origi-nal,” she said as helpers Kira Merdiushev and Alison McCook added compost to the L-shaped section.

Not aspiring to be capitalists, the garden-ers do not market their yield, preferring to give surplus items to one another. Collard greens, heirloom tomatoes, lettuce, kale and spinach delight taste buds, but they are not the only pleasure-inspiring items, as daffodils, tiger lilies and bearded and Siberian irises enchant noses.

As the afternoon sun attempted to up the temperature, it became apparent why the garden has a waiting list of 17 people, as eager hands joined the trio of ladies.

Merdiushev, a resident of the 200 block of Carpenter Street, diligently addressed the soil. Her mother Barbara was a mem-ber of the Queen Village Neighbors As-sociation, which assists the garden, in the space’s infancy when neighbors needed coaxing to contribute.

“It’s not that way anymore,” Merdiushev said.

New to planting, McCook, who like Levesque lives on the block, used a Gar-den Weasel to loosen the soil.

“I am looking forward to trying to grow herbs,” the novice said. “We’ll see how good nature is to me.”

A 1998 BioScience article predicted that 80 percent of the United States’ residents will live in urban areas by 2025. With such a majority, spaces like the garden will be-come even more vital.

“We’re just trying to give back to a great friend,” Levesque said. “It has given us a deeper communal identity. The least we can do is to let it thrive.” SPR

assist from Mayor Michael A. Nutter. Members of the school’s culinary club

gathered around two stations to place their creations in silver trays. Kosher dairy din-ners, the victuals that night delighted the tummies of a mostly Jewish fl ock.

“We are always looking for ways to con-nect with those who value seniors,” Sue Aistrop, Klein JCC’s Retired Senior Vol-unteer Program’s hunger relief program coordinator, said as the helpers sent meat-less lasagna, zucchini and chocolate cake with buttercream icing down their lines.

Last week’s gathering falls under the Klein JCC’s Cook for a Friend program, one of three initiatives seeking to ease the lives of Philadelphia’s 276,000 adults ages 60 and older. The senior assistants bantered with their younger co-horts, whose involve-ment came at the sug-gestion of instructor Nancy Hansell.

“It was fun,” senior Sam Saengkhed of the 2800 block of Moore Street said of joining his schoolmates in making lasagna for the fi rst time as a group.

Many of the students have gone through ServSafe, a food safety training and teach-ing program that many restaurants man-date for their management staff. Having already proven their kitchen acumen, the youngsters, who help with their institu-tion’s cafe, gave evidence of their con-tentment with the proceedings by fl ashing smiles to the seniors and numerous pho-tographers.

“Community service that allows young and older residents to mesh always helps an area,” Tim Fisher of the 1900 block of Moore Street said.

A fi rst-year member of City Year, a 23-year-old nonprofi t specializing in civic engagement and leadership devel-opment, Fisher joins with eight others to help the school’s learners to see the value of preserving a community’s iden-tity. Helping seniors, therefore, aids in an area’s continuation.

To Susan Hoffman, however, seniors helping seniors makes an even bigger im-pression. The director of the Stiffel Center, the Klein JCC’s local venue, she orches-trates volunteer opportunities for many of the 400 seniors her facility assists annu-ally, including stops at St. Monica Manor, 2509 S. Fourth St.

“Our seniors enjoy coming out,” she said. “They appreciate their chance to contribute.”

When fi nished lending their digits to the preparation, the spry guests buddied up with the teenagers to write cards that will end up in seniors’ breakfast bags. The 20-minute session featured more smiles and let Paul Fox feel even happier about his involvement.

“I volunteer whenever I can,” the Stiffel Center attendee and resident of the 400 block of Oregon Avenue said.

His quick mind and right hand allowed Fox to speed through crafting best wishes for his fellow seniors.

“I’ve enjoyed talking with people and fi xing food,” he said. “I always enjoy try-ing something new.”

FOX HAD COMPANY in experiencing nov-elty. Before he and his allies busied them-

selves making 300 cards, they listened to Philadelphia Eagles’ tight end Cornelius Ingram. The fi fth-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft made the Lower Moyamensing school his initial site for expounding on the benefi ts of volunteer-ing. After remarks, he signed participants’

shirts and waited for another chance to show his hands’ dexterity.

A proud instructor, Hansell spoke highly of her students’ deftness.

“My kids are great,” the resident of the 600 block of Kimball Street said. “If someone puts them under the gun, they thrive.”

The popular educator became one of the day’s fi rst contributors to encounter Nutter. The politician lent his presence as part of the sixth annual Mayors for Meals campaign. Having headed the City for two-thirds of the celebrations, he oversees a population whose 60-and-older contin-gency comprises 17 percent of its 1.526 million dwellers, according to a March 15 Age-Friendly Philadelphia report through the re-instituted Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, which reveals the city has the highest proportion of older persons out of America’s 10 largest cities. With 67 percent of the 276,000 souls classifi ed as overweight or obese and 64 percent as having high blood pressure, the nation’s fi rst capital faces challenges that Meals on Wheels wishes to squelch.

Nutter gathered with other City offi cials, Hansell, Ingram and the students to pre-pare one more meal. Clad like the others in an apron, a toque and gloves, he added the decadent cake to the tray he later deliv-ered to 97-year-old Alice Freeman of the 800 block of Ritner Street.

“To our young people at South Philadel-phia High School, if you live long enough,

you will be lucky enough to become a se-nior,” Nutter, who mentioned he will join the senior ranks in 2017, said.

The upbeat leader had even more cause for happiness when Tom McA-loon, Walmart’s regional general man-ager, announced a $5 million grant to Meals on Wheels.

“This will allow 100 Meals on Wheels chapters to purchase stoves, refrigerators and other resources to end senior hunger,” McAloon said to rousing applause.

“Days like today really help us to ad-vance our mission,” Lisa Sandler, the Klein JCC’s director of marketing and compliance, added. “We are especially attuned to helping seniors with mobil-ity issues, and the mayor’s delivery is a real plus.”

The Age-Friendly report shows 10 per-cent of seniors need help shopping and one-third must travel outside of their re-spective neighborhood to shop.

“Providing meals on wheels is actually less taxing on the entire system,” Sandler said. “With extra connections, seniors can know their nutritional identity will not be overlooked.” SPR

Breaking ground at Hawthorne Park

Construction led by Miniscalco Construction officially has be-

gun on a new public park at 12th and Catharine streets, Mayor Michael Nut-ter and Parks and Recreation Com-missioner Michael DiBerardinis an-nounced March 15.

“Hawthorne Park is one of many spaces that will be greened over the next four years so families across Philadelphia have convenient access to quality recreation and neighborhood improvement opportu-nies,” Nutter said.

The park is a three-quarter-acre space that will include energy-effi cient lights, plants and reduced water measures that is expected to be completed by next spring.

Part of Green 2015, the city’s plan to have 500 acres of new green space, the $2.2 million project is made possible from a $1.1 million Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant, $300,000 in City capital funding, among other funders. SPR

East Passyunk tenants.“My charge is going to be to build on

the assets we created with Citizens Alli-ance and continue the mission of build-ing a commercial corridor, maintaining the neighborhood services and improving real estate as it becomes feasible to do so,” Sherman said during Tuesday’s press conference at the fountain, East Passyunk Avenue and Tasker Street.

KEEPING THE AVENUE clean has been tough, East Passyunk Avenue Business Improve-ment District executive director Renee Gilinger said.

“Litter still remains on the ground and un-fortunately, a little bit becomes a lot really quickly,” she said noting the corporation’s cleaning program is not something the dis-trict, which is partially funding the project, could have implemented on its own.

The debt- and litigation-free organiza-tion also launched a greening initiative with Fishtown-based Garden Hangouts that planted 17 trees along the avenue. The corporation has vowed to match up to $2,500 for the district in addition to three area civics — East Passyunk Cross-

ing, Lower Moyamensing and Passyunk Square — that have raised or are raising funds for community greening.

Within the last few weeks, the corpora-tion’s outstanding vacant properties have been or are in the process of being fi lled. The group is wrapping up renovations of 1737 E. Passyunk, a three-story property, which will serve as a business space for Fabric Horse, an urban accessory shop based in Northern Liberties, with apart-ments on the two upper fl oors, Gilinger said noting a tentative April move-in date. A business tenant also is in the works for 1838, but no lease has been signed yet.

With its relaunch, Sherman is focused on the future of avenue, which he deemed a neighborhood and city asset.

“We will work in conjunction [with the district] to make sure that the interests of the surrounding residents are served and that we make the avenue as successful for all the businesses that are located here and the resi-dents that live here,” Sherman said. SPR

The long winter hia-tus is fi nally over as Citizens Bank

Park opened its gates for Tuesday’s on-deck series against the Pittsburgh Pi-rates. Workers, some of whom were dressed in their 2008 championship attire, were pumped up for anoth-er season of Phillies base-ball (top). The slight chill in the March air didn’t stop the fans from coming out early to support the home team (bottom). Many an-ticipate Tuesday’s victory just being a taste of bigger and better things to come. Tomorrow at 1:05 p.m., the Phillies host the Hous-ton Astros in the fi rst of a three-game series.

Sometimes opportunities are once-in-a-lifetime. Rocco Amato, from Broad and Wolf streets, decided his window of opportunity wasn’t fully closed.

“I fell into the acting thing. I just enjoy it so much and I was on the road until the very early

’90s doing theater. And my family was getting larger,” Am-ato, 64, said. “I was sitting on New Year’s Eve in a theater in Ohio on the phone with my family to wish them a happy New Year. This was not the life for me.

“I got my kids and I want to see them. I want to enjoy them while they’re growing up. So I quit. I left the theater and came home.”

A fulfi lled lifetime later and having spent time raising

After quitting the stage nearly two decades ago, a Broad-and-Wolf-streets resident rekindleshis love for live theater and can currently be seen at the Society Hill Playhouse.

Rocco Amato as Jerry, right, is joined by “The Men of Mah Jongg” cast members Ted Ford as Harry, from left, Arnold Kendall as Sidney and Seymour Kover as Marvin, in a performance that runs through April 17.

his fi ve children, Rocco’s wife, JoAnne, passed away.

“My youngest daughter, who was a pro-fessional actress, said, ‘Why don’t you get back to theater?’ My children are very supportive. They said get up and go do something,” he said.

In the wake of his grief, Amato began to look for auditions. He came across a list-ing in The Philadelphia Alliance for older actors and went out to read for the part. He was later cast as Jerry in the Society Hill Playhouse’s production of “The Men of Mah Jongg,” which can currently be seen at the theater through April 17.

“[Deen Kogan] did a fantastic job cast-ing this. Everyone in the play, a part of them is in the play. Something in that play has happened to us in reality,” Am-ato said of the four-man piece that fea-tures three Jewish friends trying to bring back to life a fourth pal who recently lost his wife. “Even though I am Ital-ian and not Jewish, we have so much in common as a group. We’ve been through the same things, experienced the same type of losses, spent our youth hang-

ing on the corner. It’s really nice. It’s an enjoyable cast and they’re very good at what they do.”

Jerry Rosenthal, Rocco’s persona, is a free spirit who continues to entertain as-pirations of becoming a singer, despite his increasing age and decreasing ability to hear. He also dates a 20-year-old sus-pected hooker.

“I was a singer, professional vocalist. I still do a little cabaret work but not all that much,” Amato said. “I’m a happy-go-lucky guy. It’s just unbelievable how close to the character I am.”

AMATO WAS BORN and raised on 16th and Latona streets, where he attended the now-defunct St. Reed and currently co-ed St. John Neumann schools. Upon graduation, he did “what all kids in the ’60s and ’50s did: Formed a doo-wop group and sang on the corner and at parties,” he said.

“I’ve always been an actor, always done some form of entertainment. When you live in South Philadelphia and you’re young and Italian, you’re expected to sing.”

Holding various jobs, including time in the service, Amato eventually learned a trade as a mechanical design draftsman.

“I helped design and build and modify

heavy machinery. I worked in the nuclear industry for a while,” Amato, who learned everything on-the-job, said. “I went to work for the Westinghouse Electric Corp. when I was 20 years old. I was trained and learned how to be a draftsmen. Now you go to school for it.”

But the performing beckoned and even-tually Amato found himself in regional theater and traveling extensively with the productions. He also was involved with lu-crative voice work.

“I got a job as a television spokesman for Mr. Goodbyes. I did over 300 commer-cials,” he said.

By the time he felt himself miles away from family on the New Year’s holi-day, Amato had racked up a large list of places he’d visited. Throwing in the tow-el seemed like the natural decision, and Amato returned to the area to spend time with his family.

With the death of his wife and his chil-dren grown and starting families of their own, Amato has found a new dedication to his craft.

“I’m very glad [to be back in theater]. It’s just a great thing. Otherwise I’d be sitting here twiddling my thumbs feeling sorry for myself and that’s no way to live,” Amato said.

Instead, the performer takes the stage nightly and has further projects lined up down the road. Family is still an important part of the equation though.

“My son and his fi ancée came, my old-est son and his wife, my daughter and grandson and my other two girls are coming on the third,” Amato said of his children seeing the current production. “They all come to see everything I do. They are very supportive.”

Performing in an older-skewing play is the perfect fi t for Amato as he begins the second leg of his acting journey. The thespian said audiences love the fi rst-time Philadelphia production and his greatest joy is “just making people happy.”

“Until I drop dead I’m never going to stop doing this again … I tend to enjoy doing what I always loved and my wife always loved it, also. She was a dance teacher for 20 years,” he said. “I just do it ’cause it’s a passion. It’s an obsession. I could be feeling terrible. I could be sick. Soon as I get to stage, there is nothing that bothers me.

“Soon as I hit the stage, I’m perfect.” SPR

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Rev iewer

“Groundhog Day” meets “Speed” and “Murder on the Orient Express” in “Source Code,” a

heady sci-tech thriller about a military pi-lot (Jake Gyllenhaal) who’s forced, via an experimental, physics-defying government program, to continually enter the body of a deceased train passenger until he can fi nd out who bombed the Chicago-bound loco-motive. That description alone should illu-minate the suspension of disbelief required by the fi lm, the fi rst from screenwriter Ben Ripley and the second from “Moon” writ-er/director Duncan Jones. It’s easy (and fun) to step aboard and take the leap, but the more one mulls over the movie’s in-creasingly twisty ideas, the less capable it seems of supporting them.

Thus, “Source Code” doesn’t exactly dazzle in retrospect, but its in-the-moment (and in-the-moment again) excitement is rarely less than considerable. One would think Jones’ move from the personal to the commercial would result in a career blemish, but, quite the contrary, his range-expanding efforts here exhibit a canny ability to punch up the work of another. Ripley’s lapses in logic and occasionally embryonic ambitions are often hidden by Jones’ keen sense of pacing, his adept-ness at blending humor with suspense, his continued emphasis of potent themes like Big Brother oppression, and his splendid affi nity for clunky, vintage sci-fi (certain sets are straight out of an early Ridley Scott fl ick).

He’s got a peach of a cast to play out his vision, with Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright and Michelle Monaghan fi lling the supporting roles. Farmiga and Mon-

aghan both make the most of what little they have to work with, and, as a shifty mastermind, Wright has never offered a more delicious utilization of his madly ar-ticulate, better-than-Alan-Rickman voice. But the contribution that lingers most is that of Gyllenhaal, who alternately stocks the fi lm with energy, charm and pathos. If anyone needed proof that this guy’s a true movie star, they’ve got it.

Indeed, “Source Code” is better than most of what’s out at the multiplex. It’s just better still if you leave the deep cere-bral diving to the action hero.

Lead star Jim Carrey does some of his most memorable work in this outrageous true story of gay convicted conman Steven Russell, but even better is Ewan McGregor as Russell’s starry-eyed, titular cell-block lover. Together, the actors run with the movie’s unabashed humor, and lighten the growing load of its “Catch Me If You Can” redundancy. SPR

An exceptionalcolumn

I can understand why we want to get rid of the crazy man in Libya. Nobody can agree on how to spell his name. Not

The New York Times. Not The Washing-ton Post. Not The Boston Globe. It would be so much easier if they had a John Ad-ams in Libya that was ready to take charge and hold free elections. Think how much easier it would make life for proofreaders everywhere. I will refrain from using the name of the dictator of Libya in this col-umn, if only because of indecision. Why can’t the Middle East be more like Amer-ica? Isn’t that similar to a song from “My Fair Lady” sung by Rex Harrison? Has the rest of the world not heard of American “exceptionalism”? Exceptionalism is a code word for superiority.

Many countries through history have declared themselves “exceptional.” Ger-many does it every so often and then de-clares war on the rest of us to prove it. We Americans truly believe we are exception-al. Our politicians fi ght over which one thinks we are more exceptional. At this moment, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin have staked their entire political ca-reers on the belief we are exceptional. The evidence isn’t empirical; it is a question of faith. Texans believe Texas is even more exceptional than the rest of the nation. I spent a little time in Texas and found the only thing exceptional about Texans is how exceptional they think they are.

Texans are not the only ones to believe exceptionalism begins at home. The Irish believe they are exceptional, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. The best example of that is the buttons that read, “Kiss Me, I’m Irish.” I love the Irish, particularly Maureen O’Hara, but I have never found ethnicity to be a good enough reason to kiss someone. My own Italian ethnic group also believes we are exceptional. One of them sent me a video called “The Whole World Loves Ital-ians.” How can the whole world love us when even Italians don’t love all Italians? My Uncle Nunzi hasn’t spoken to his broth-er Vincenzo for 63 years, and neither one re-members why he is angry. Maybe each one thinks he is more exceptional than the other. Only African-Americans and Jews are real-istic about this love business. You can’t fi nd an African-American or a Jew who believes the world loves them and they have the his-torical evidence to prove it.

Nevertheless, all of our presidents since Ronald Reagan have expressed the be-

lief that we, above all nations, are truly exceptional. As Reagan used to say, it is “morning in America.” My wife occasion-ally makes eggs for dinner, proving that she too believes that it is always morning in America. Each of our presidents since Reagan have ended every address to the nation by asking that “God bless Ameri-ca,” as if the creator had any other choice. I do think under current circumstances, we could ask God to bless Japan just once, and maybe toss in Haiti too.

If we are truly exceptional in America, why is it that we have to bomb some coun-tries in order for them to realize it? I would love to administer a word-association test among the populations of Vietnam, Iraq, Af-ghanistan, Pakistan and Libya to ask what one word best describes America. Do you think that word would be “exceptional”?

We are in the midst of tightening budgets all over America at every level because we are in a deep budget hole. The last fi gure that I saw estimated that we are spending about $100 million a day to protect Libyan rebels from their dictator. Does that make us exceptional or as crazy as the guy who we are trying to depose? The Obama ad-ministration can’t even agree on whether our goal is to depose of the Libyan dicta-tor or to just scare him into not killing the rebels who are diligently trying to kill him. Isn’t the aim of a civil war two sides trying to kill each other until one decides to give up? I believe that even Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis would have agreed. I have never considered myself in any way exceptional (unless it is my ability to con-tinue to fool the editor into printing this column every week and paying me for it).

Dictators and monarchies have always believed in their own exceptionalism. Every time Henry VIII got rid of a wife in search of a male heir, it was because he thought his heir would be exceptional. Iran and North Korea want a nuclear arse-nal because they believe that they too are exceptional and deserve to belong to the nuclear club. The irony is that the crazy Libyan dictator gave up his nuclear ambi-tions to assuage us, only to have us now raining bombs down on his command tent. What lesson do you think that Iran and North Korea take from that?

I want to believe that we in America are exceptional, but I just wish it would show in our life expectancy. We are currently ranked 47th in the world in life expectancy. Even Bosnia is several notches ahead of us, which I fi nd amazing since it wasn’t long ago that we had to save them from genocide. We are 37th in overall health care among World Health Organization nations, lagging way behind Morocco (and think of the all the smoking they did in “Casablanca”). It is estimated that more than 46 million Ameri-cans don’t have health insurance.

Nothing exceptional about that. SPR

Metals represent more than just valuable natural resources: they are symbols of milestone achievements in the lifetimes of individuals and groups. There’s platinum for high record sales, gold to plate the Oscar Statuettes at the annual Academy Awards – silver for the celebration of 25 year anniversaries. For Penns Landing Caterers, 1301 S. Columbus Blvd., appropriately located in the Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union 19 building, their silver anniversary means 25 years of family-oriented, dedicated service to the business of hosting exceptional events. First opened in 1986, the catering company began as a kitchen and meeting hall built for (and by) members of the union. Eventually, the site transformed into a full-service catering business. It has become a place where memories are made, as 25 years’ worth of weddings, bar mitzvahs, church anniversaries and political functions have passed through the wide, welcoming doors. “It’s a good, central location. And it’s easy access, right off of I-95,” said Stephen Dougherty, Director of Catering. Dougherty, who graduated with honors from the Restaurant School the

same year Penns Landing Caterers opened, is a chef with experience working with some of the biggest names in the motion picture industry. “The city just put a public park on the pier,” added Dougherty. “They’ve spent a lot of money over there, and they’ve put paths, benches, shrubs, flowers.” Dougherty went on to explain that the transformed location has become a favorite choice for bridal parties wishing to take scenic photographs. Tucked away behind an enclosure of trees, a generous expanse of stairs leads into the Penns Landing Caterers lobby. The foyer doubles as a location for cocktail hours, while VIP guests and bridal parties can look down on the fun from a private room upstairs. In the corner, a large, working gin still blushes copper in the sweep of light coming in through the glass doors, and provides the perfect conversation piece for guests as they pass through to the larger hall beyond. The main hall shows off the workmanship the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union put into the building, with its unique ceiling and walls of brightly-burnished, pleated metal surfaces. The area can seat anywhere from 500 to 600 guests, while standing-room-only fits between 800 and 1200. A T-shaped dance floor stretches across the carpet, just in front of the stage. With the inclusion of an AV package, a big screen can be lowered down before the platform, with rear projection, a PA system and wireless microphones. A variety of seating arrangements transforms the look of the space: from banquet hall for weddings, to classroom-style seating for corporate events. A popular choice is the station menu, for which stations with different culinary spins – Asian, Italian, vegetarian – are spaced around the room, thereby encouraging guests to get up from their tables and mix and mingle. In addition, a full, on-site kitchen staff ensures that all food is cooked on-premises. The convenience of location, combined with the friendly efficiency of the staff, has helped the Caterers obtain a number of repeat customers. It is a frequent site for South Philadelphia church anniversaries, including St. Augustine, Shiloh Baptist and St. Agnes. Other regular patrons include local schools, like Ss. John Neumann and Maria Goretti High School, Mummers clubs, and Jefferson and Methodist hospitals. Members at Local 19, who receive discounts on events, frequently use the site for family occasions and holiday parties. Of course, union members are not the only customers to receive benefits: old clients often have the option to use the AV package free of charge, while on-site parking – over 700 spaces – is free for everyone. Clients of Penns Landing Caterers have returned this regard time and again, flooding the site with letters of appreciation.“You made the planning stages easy, executed the plan perfectly, and kept me calm all the while,” wrote Ronnie Barlow, on behalf of the Seamen’s Church Institute Board of Directors. “We usually get good feedback, especially from the weddings,” Dougherty explained. Donna Kolifrath, who started her career with the Caterers as a waitress and is now Director of Sales, works with clients from the time they schedule to the day of the event. A crew sets up the room the day before, while clients are free to add a touch of personal creativity by having their own decorations put in. The wait staff, comprised entirely of union members, is full of familiar faces, as some of them have been with the Caterers since it began. Perhaps the skill and straightforwardness of the staff explains the draw for big clients like the Democratic City Committee, which uses the space

twice a year for its Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. Guests can tread the same carpets that have felt the footsteps of Bernie Parent, Vince Papale, Kevin Bacon, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, to name just a few. Penns Landing Caterers offers an array of packages, with food, linens and gratuity included. Cost is calculated in terms of price per head. All bars are portable and stocked with top-shelf liquor and bottled beers supplied through Bell Beverage. Above all, guests never go hungry: cocktail hours include unlimited hors d’oeuvres, and entrées always come in succulently satisfying portions. While photography and entertainment are not included, Kolifrath and Dougherty are always happy to offer clients a list of trusted contacts.

Tuesday is usually a good night to dine out. Many restaurants are closed on Monday and fresh provi-

sions arrive the next day. Two weeks ago, Brice, my philosopher friend, and I met at The Corner, the latest entry on South 13th Street’s restaurant row, which was formerly APO.

Unfortunately, Chef John Taus was hosting a special dinner. I opted to dine alone a week later. I enjoyed my meal so much that I called Brice and asked him to meet me for an early dinner the following Saturday.

The bill of fare is still evolving under the capable hands of Taus, who presents American comfort dishes made with fresh, top-quality ingredients at moderate prices. No dish is more than $15.

I elected to dine at the marble-topped bar, sip a perfect Rob Roy ($13) and watch Taus and his sous chef prepare everything from pork belly sliders ($8) to chicken pot pie ($12).

The aforementioned sliders are just $5 during the 5 to 7 p.m. happy hour. The pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, topped with house-made sauerkraut and coarse Dijon mustard. I loved how the pork was crisped before it was placed on small, buttery not-at-all sweet brioche-type buns, which were seared on the grill.

Taus put a smoked trout salad ($11) on the menu. The mix of creamy trout was placed in the center of the plate and im-parted just the right hint of smoke. It was

topped with a mound of frisee and tossed in a sherry vinaigrette. It was fi lleted per-fectly — I found not one small bone.

“You’re the fi rst to try it,” he said with a smile as I cleaned my plate.

Taus’s version of pot pie was topped with his signature homemade biscuit dough which he rolls out and keeps cool in the fridge. The creamy fi lling was made with breast and thigh meat, fresh peas and carrots. The mixture is placed in a small cast-iron skillet, topped with the crust and baked to a golden brown. I also enjoyed a heaping side of roasted Brussels sprouts with bits of slab bacon ($6) and a hot cup of Mighty Leaf Earl Gray tea ($3).

By 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday, every table was fi lled. With the room lit, the music at the right decibel level and the acoustics so fi ne, Brice and I could actually enjoy our conversation.

“These are from the chef,” our server said as she placed two pierogies that Taus lovingly made by hand following his grandmother’s recipe on the table. The Polish versions of the Kreplach were fi lled with silky potatoes, cheese and caramel-ized onions, and sat on a pool of cream laced with chives.

Taus makes two-bite biscuits and serves them with little balls of slightly salted butter. Brice and I ordered masa tots ($8) and sweetbreads ($10) as starters. Masa is a corn fl our which was blended with jalapeno peppers and cilantro, rolled into bite-size ovals and fried. I found them

a bit dense but Brice pronounced them just fi ne. The sweetbreads were a take on chicken nuggets. They were creamy in-side and slightly crisp outside and came with tasty dipping sauces.

Next up was a duck pastrami sandwich ($14) and the Corner cheeseburger ($12). I felt the duck lacked the smoky fl avor I hunger for in delicatessens. It was sliced a little thick and topped with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing and was wedged between two slices of square rye bread. The homemade potato chips required a sprinkling of salt. The burger was divine. It was seared on the outside and medium rare as ordered. We dove into a mound of hot hand-cut fries. A side of coleslaw ($4) was sweet to my taste as were the half-done pickles.

We shared the cream cheese mousse

that was nestled in a crisp coconut tuille. I broke a piece off then ladled my spoon into the creamy mousse.

The Corner will continue to pique my curiosity because Taus will add dishes as the menu evolves from season to season, or even week to week. I wish the restau-rant would open for lunch.

T h e T o q u e S t o p s H e r e

By Phyllis Stein-NovackFood Columnist

Tomorrow is April 1 — April Fool’s Day. My friend Krista will cel-ebrate her birthday and although I

would love to pull a prank on her, I dare not. Maybe I will scout out a gag gift but defi nitely not something perceived to be insulting.

A number of famous people were born on April 1 including Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a French attorney who is known for his masterpiece “The Physi-ology of Taste.” He entered the world in 1755 and is considered to be a gastronome of the highest order.

The list of Brillat-Savarin’s culinary quotations is quite long, but two of them instantly pop into my mind:

“Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.”

“The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity than the dis-covery of a new star.”

Brillat-Savarin’s strong penchant for fi ne French food and wine has little to do with April Fool’s Day. A fool, by the way, is an old-fashion British dessert made with a slightly sweetened puree of fresh fruit that is folded into whipped cream and chilled.

I started to think of recipes which would

fool people into eating a specifi c dish when, in fact, it is a mock version of the recipe. Take chopped liver, for instance. Jews dive into this appetizer twice a year — during Rosh Hashana and Passover. I make it with rendered schmaltz, tasty old-fashioned chicken fat. There is a veg-etarian version which looks like chopped liver and, in a funny way, even tastes like chopped liver.

There are a number of recipes for mock chopped liver fl oating around the Inter-net. A number of Jewish cookbooks and synagogue sisterhood cookbooks offer the how-to when it is time to get the food processor ready or bring out your grand-mother’s wooden chopping bowl to make vegetarian chopped liver.

Two ingredients are a must. The recipes contain chopped hard-boiled eggs and walnuts. Some people use lentils, green beans or peas along with the above. Ko-sher salt and freshly ground black pepper give the dish fl avor. A bit of vegetable oil, such as Canola, keeps this appetizer moist and tasty.

Although I have eaten fake meat and poultry made from tofu or grains, I would not attempt these dishes at home. I don’t know why. I’ve tried them in vegetarian restaurants but I guess dinner guests might think it a bit weird.

■ Mango Fool ■From “The New All Purpose Joy of

Cooking” by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer and Ethan Becker

Ingredients:3 ripe mangos, peeled and cut into

large chunks2/3 to 3/4 cup of powdered sugar,

depending upon the sweetness ofthe fruit

2 tablespoons of lime juice1 tablespoon of orange juice1-1/4 cup of cold heavy cream

Directions:Place the mango chunks in a food proces-

sor or blender. Puree the mangos. Blend in the sugar, lime and orange juices. Place in a bowl and chill overnight.

When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the mango pu-ree and cream together. (You can blend them thoroughly or leave streaks of gold through the cream.) Pile into chilled stemmed glasses and serve at once.

Serves four.

Note from Phyllis: You can garnish the fools with sprigs of fresh mint.

■ Vegetarian Chopped Liver ■Ingredients:

1 pound of green beans

1 large onion, fi nely chopped1/4 cup of Canola oil1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, cut into

chunks5 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly

chopped1 cup of chopped walnutsKosher salt and freshly ground black

pepper, to taste

Directions:Bring a large pot of salted water to a

boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 10 minutes. Drain and refresh into cold water. Drain well.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and sauté the onion until golden brown, for about fi ve minutes.

Place the green beans in the bowl of a food processor fi tted with the steel blade. Pulse on and off a few times for a rough chop. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse on and off for a rough chop. Blend and pulse on and off a few times for de-sired consistency. Taste and correct for seasoning.

Serves four.

Note from Phyllis: This appetizer can be served on a leaf of lettuce or radicchio, as well as a spread for crackers, bread or matzo. SPR

DARIES (March 21 to April 20): Stand out as a leader without saying much. An economy of words

makes you appear more powerful and serious. An early exit also leaves everyone wanting more. Lucky number: 133.

FTAURUS (April 21 to May 20): The promise of romance could have you spending too much. If

your amorous interest isn’t attracted to the real you, then togetherness is only a dream that could leave you broke. Lucky number: 698.

GGEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Today you prefer privacy instead of recognition. There is no need to

say a lot as you are seen as humble. Lucky number: 084.

HCANCER (June 21 to July 22): You may have assumed that you and a certain clique shared val-

ues. See what you have in common before cutting ties with this group. Lucky number: 713.

aLEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): You may not want to work with the team. Take care of tasks behind the

scenes. This focus enables you to succeed. Lucky num-ber: 305.

sVIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Your public image could suffer without restraint. Seeking an altered

experience could have you drinking too much or attract-ing the wrong attention. Use talents to draw the right audi-ence. Lucky number: 921.

dLIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): A career step may need the support of another’s resources. Take ad-

vantage of this chance as it is probably a brief window. A serious approach to what needs to be done is admired. Lucky number: 546.

fSCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Go along with an authority fi gure at work. You won’t be in the

mood to chat, so a task-oriented focus will impress those in charge. Lucky number: 821.

gSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Your clos-est companion may have ideas about your career

potential. However, you are the one who knows where your true capabilities lie. Lucky number: 257.

hCAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): You may be taken in by a magnetic leader who could take you

where you don’t want to go. Don’t make any commitments; confi de in an objective friend. Lucky number: 747.

AAQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Your home may require sprucing up, but don’t make a big fi nancial

investment. Attend to simple decorating tasks and display a few prized possessions to create a pleasing atmosphere. Lucky number: 470.

SPISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Your hopes could have you hearing something that isn’t true. Take it

with a grain of salt as it may not be fulfi lled the way you desire. Lucky number: 269. SPR

A letter from Nicky to his beloved family and friends

Feb. 24, 1983 • March 31, 2008

It’s been 3 years since I last walked with all of you

Are you still searching the Scriptures like we used to do?

There’s nothing on earth that can replace God’s love

I see for myself since He took me to Heaven above

No disappointments or tears or sorrow or hate

Just pure love, joy and happiness that’s what awaits

Each new day brings about a marvelous proof

Of His love for His children, from their early youth

I can’t describe to you what He has in store

It was beyond my imagination, when He opened His door

I couldn’t speak for awhile, it was like I was dumb

His Glory surrounded me,my soul went numb

Then gently He cradled me and said “I’ve been waiting for you”

To show you things,that you never knew

We all have the capacity to spread His Word

It’s our commission in life, that we be heard

May 21 2011 the “RAPTURE” is in 50 days

Search it in the Scriptures, you’ll be truly amazed

God’s pouring out His wisdom in these last days

I beg you to get on your knees,

cry out for mercy and sincerely pray

Till we meet again Love your family

Do not sand by my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;

I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain;

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling fl ight.

I am the soft star shine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry.

I am not there... I DID NOT DIE

Rest In PeaceWith Love From All Of Us

sports Double triple

By Joseph MyersReview staff wr iter

“We have a philosophy. If you’re in it, you might as well win it,” coach Carl Ar-

rigale said Tuesday at Ss. Neumann-Gore-tti High School, 1736 S. 10th St.

The latest “it” for his Saints was the PIAA Class AAA State Basketball Cham-pionship and win it they did, notching a 55-45 victory over Montour High School at Penn State University’s Bryce Jordan Cen-ter. The Friday triumph gives the Passyunk Square ballers their second-straight sweep of the Catholic League, District 12 City and state crowns.

Having lost four starters to graduation from last year’s 30-1 unit, Arrigale relied on his lone holdover, senior guard Lamin Fulton, to lead a previously unheralded bunch of hoopsters. The Saints began the year 4-3 but fi nished 23-1 to give their fans even more thrills.

The culmination of the latest title run came on the same fl oor where they eked out a 65-63 win over Chartiers Valley in last year’s championship. For much of the fi rst three quarters, this year’s rendition looked as if it would mimic its predeces-sor’s nail-biting status.

The Saints entered the game having topped four teams at four different loca-tions over a 12-day stretch. As District 12’s No. 1seed, they faced District 7’s top seed, Allegheny County’s Montour Spartans, with a chance to give the Catholic League its third-straight victor in the 32-team fi eld.

The opposition had other ideas, grab-bing a 12-9 lead after the fi rst quarter. The Saints, winners of their previous state matchups by an average of 24 points, won the second session 15-9 to build a 24-21 halftime advantage. While the Spartans seemed up to the task of ending the de-fending champions’ 16-game winning streak and thwarting history, freshman guard Ja’Quan Newton restored his gang’s momentum towards the end of the third frame. The Southwest Philadelphia resi-dent instigated a fl urry that included a 15-0 run between that point and half of the fourth quarter, taking his mates from down

34-33 to up 48-34.Newton scored a team-high 17 points

and collected eight rebounds. Junior for-ward Derrick Stewart, whose brother Dan-ny started for last year’s state conquerors, continued his late-season dominance by dropping 14 points and snaring 10 re-bounds. Expected to be Arrigale’s horse next year, he also blocked two shots and made two steals.

Sophomore forward John Davis, his frontline partner, deposited 12 points and ripped seven rebounds. The left-hander led the Saints with 16 points in their March 11 62-34 fi rst-round win against Annville-Cleona High School.

Junior guard Billy Shank, who went for 44 points combined in March 18’s 57-30 quarterfi nal win against Octorara High School and March 22’s 82-75 semifi nal victory over Lancaster Catholic High School, added fi ve points, with three com-ing on one of his squad’s three triples. Fulton, the Catholic League’s co-MVP, capped his distinguished career by scoring seven points, dishing out two assists and earning fi ve steals. When he left the game with only a few seconds remaining, he and Arrigale hugged, a fi tting end to a fruitful partnership.

The familiar sound of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” honored the Saints as they celebrated duplicating last year’s hat trick of crowns, which made them the fi rst Catholic League and District 12 athletes to hold three championships simultaneously. Arrigale, now the holder of seven league titles, three City championships and two state crowns, beamed as the players con-gregated. The slick haired leader distribut-ed medals to the ecstatic victors, offering gratitude for their contributions with each golden token’s placement.

BACK AT SCHOOL, the decorated players united Tuesday to honor a season that saw them fi nish undefeated in league play (16-0) for a third-straight season. They set a record for most consecutive league victo-ries with their 50th on Feb. 11 and will enter next fall with 54 straight triumphs against Catholic League adversaries. They

also became the fi rst team to repeat as AAA state champions since Beaver Falls’ Blackhawk High School did so in 1996. With only Fulton and fellow senior Jordan Johnson departing, Arrigale will not have to hear naysayers’ predictions for a down year, prognostications his boys endured this campaign.

Not a part of last year’s success, New-ton grew tired of hearing his initial season would likely produce more frustration than fascination.

“At fi rst, I hadn’t expected such a suc-cessful year,” the skilled ball handler said.

One could say that advice Arrigale gave him at halftime of the title game served as an apt motto for the whole team’s season.

“Coach told me to be more aggressive,” Newton said of his 13-point second-half effort. “This year, we had to overcome losing four guys, but we believed in our defense and got the job done.”

Davis, of the 400 block of Washington Av-enue, never doubted his squad’s chances.

“We wanted to prove everybody wrong,” he said.

This summer, he will look to build his perimeter game to ward off any thoughts that limiting his interior moves will dimin-ish his contributions.

“I expect to do what we did this year for the next two years,” Davis said.

“When we were down, I thought this is our year, we are supposed to win this,” Stewart, who noted his confi dence grew as the season progressed, said of overcoming

the title game’s mini defi cits. He feels his willingness to battle down

low will enhance his play next year. “You have to be a man about stepping

up,” the Upper Darby resident said.This year, Fulton was the man. Bound for

St. Peter’s College in New Jersey, the resi-dent of the 1300 block of South 29th Street led the team in scoring and believing.

“The only people who knew we would be this good were those in our locker room,” he said. “Coach preached defense and we used that to key our offense. We bonded and defi ed expectations.”

“Lamin is an extension of our coaching staff,” Arrigale said of the fl oor general. “He helped our young guys to believe in themselves.”

The 13th-year coach noted his team immediately took to the underdog role and transformed it into the more custom-ary favorite designation as the year ad-vanced. He sees as their turning point a Jan. 27 to 29 trip to Florida during which his players captured two close wins af-ter suffering a 20-point loss at the Mont-verde Academy Tournament. With their return, they played more freely and com-petently.

“It was a fun year,” he said. “People had expected a drop off but not us. We never backed down.” SPR

prayer to the holy spirit (pray for 3 days or 3 hours sraight)

Holy Spirit, You who make me see everything and who showed me the way to reach my ideals, You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and You, who are in all instances of my life with me, I want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. AMEN. In Jesus Christ, your Son’s name, I ask that you grant me (State your speecific request or intention here!) B.K.

prayer to the blessed virgin

(never known to fail). O Most Beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful Vine Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here You are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor my necessity (Make Request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days. Then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. C.S.

prayer to st. JudeMost Holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors and onvokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of thing almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.
