Mummers coming your way at Xfinity Live! By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

iss out on the Mummers this year? You can still get your string band fix, as the Mummers 7th Annual Mardi Gras returns to South Philadelphia at Xfinity Live! on Sunday, Feb. 23. The popular entertainment venue in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex will host all 16 string bands across two sessions for a full day of Mummery in February. It promises to be one of the biggest fundraisers for the Mummers, who have traditionally entertained residents with their New Year’s Day Parade since 1901. The Mummers Mardi Gras was created and organized by ADVENT Consulting, which continues to dedicate a large effort to the fundraising cause. “The Mummers need a lot of support,” ADVENT President Joe DeCandido said. “It’s a lifelong tradition for many people and many families and generations. I’ve had guys tell me their father or grandfather was a Mummer, and others say their kid is a Mummer and they’re excited when their kid picks up an instrument because it’s one step closer to being a member of their string band.” The event originated six years ago as a small, 1,200-person ticketed event at the Piazza in Northern Liberties, and included just four of the string bands. It evolved into a parade in Manayunk for the next four years before returning to South Philadelphia last year at the 2300 Arena on Swanson Street. This year, in moving to Xfinity Live!, more tickets will be available and more space will be utilized for a bundle of activities. And it’s all indoors. “We wanted a larger venue where we could sell more tickets and raise more money for the Mummers string bands,” DeCandido said. “And that’s how we landed on Xfinity Live! They’ve been an incredible partner. It’s a venue set up for entertainment events and it seemed like the perfect fit.” The event will be broken up into two separate ticketed sessions. The first session, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3

Interview: Jacqueline Goldfinger, playwright behind Babel

By Tom Beck

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

n many facets, it can be very difficult to predict the future. But South Philly-based playwright Jacqueline Goldfinger imagines a world where we can do just that. Her latest production, Babel, is a dark comedy that takes you on a journey into the future where parents learn within the first weeks of conception which traits their child will have and which behaviors it is likely to exhibit. The play will make its premiere at Theatre Exile on Feb. 13 and last until March 8. Prior to opening night, Goldfinger chatted with the Review about her new play, how it differs from her previous plays and peering into the future. I read a synopsis of the play already, but could you give me a summary of it in your own words? Sure. So Babel is a dark comedy about two couples who have been best friends forever who each get pregnant at the same time and the near future and they have their babies tested for various diseases and such and the test results come back very differently. And so between the two couples and a 6-foot-tall talking stork, they sort their way through what they want to do with the test results, and they decide drastically different things. While it’s a play that has a lot of intellectual, moral and ethical questions about how much should we know about our children in utero, it also has the heart of these two couples who love each other like family. How did you come up with the idea for the play? It sounds like something that came about after a long night of exploring a Wikipedia rabbit hole on eugenics or something. Yeah [laughs]. Well, I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi, and I love the fact that sci-fi stories can really allow us to explore questions that are scary but in a way that is a little more understandable and bearable and with humor and heart. When I got pregnant - I have 7-year-old twins - we got some [negative] test results back from our doctor. Luckily everything’s fine, but it was exactly that. It was getting these test results coming home, going down the Google rabbit hole of what does this mean, what could it mean? And I had not realized how far reproductive technology had come in terms of being able to both test in utero cells as well as what they could manipulate. So I just found it fascinating

Prior to opening night, Goldfinger chatted with the Review about her new play, how it differs from her previous plays and peering into the future and then I had the babies and thank goodness, thank God they were healthy, knock on wood. And then I spent ﬁve years raising the babies for kindergarten so it was just in the last year and a half, two years that I was able to come back to the idea of this would be a really great play. It’s juicy. So for the past seven years it’s been kicking around in your brain, but only recently did you have the opportunity to really pursue it. Exactly. It’s set in the future, correct? It is, it’s set in the recognizable near future. A lot like black mirror. OK. You don’t see a lot of plays or books or movies set in the future, at least compared to those set in the present or the past. Why do you think that’s the case? I think that the challenge of setting stories in the near future is that we’re not very good

at predicting what’s going to come. However, with this technology where we cannot predict exactly where it will go - we know it’s going somewhere, and we know what the major questions will be. So it gives me an edge because I, at least from the American Medical Association and a number of other medical authorities, have released statements about where this type of technology is going and what we need to think about. So I have a much better idea, which is just not true with most science, right? Usually we have no idea where things are going. I’m still waiting for my Jetsons hoverboard. That’s all I’m saying. I was promised that by 2020, and it’s not here. I would imagine that because there’s so many unanswered questions, it leaves more room for creativity. Absolutely! And that’s the fun part where I get to imagine. Also, the show does not dive into the technical. You don’t have to worry about knowing a lot about science to come,

right? It allows me to really focus the story on the general ideas and then on the families and parents who are going through it. So it allows it to be human and funny and touching and all of these things and not have to worry about all of the technical details because we don’t know what those are yet. Is this something you put a lot of research into? Or is it more just about telling a story? So, I did do a lot of research, but it’s one of those things where I did a lot of research - we’re so lucky here in Philadelphia between Jefferson and Penn and Temple, we have phenomenal scientists doing incredible work, so I got to interview some folks. But it was one of those processes where I did a ton of research, and I put it all to the side and I said, ‘OK, what are the most human and exciting parts of the human story?’ And then I allowed the research to just inform as I wrote about these friends. So who is the target audience? What type of person would enjoy this play? Well, for sure, anyone who likes the Black Mirror type of human sci-fi, for sure. Also, so this has a six-production, rolling world premiere around the country over the next year in six different regions of the country, which is really exciting. It has already had its production in Kansas City, this is just the second one in Philly and in Kansas City what we found was that the audience for the play was incredibly wide. There’s some people who really came just because they enjoyed the humor, there was some people who came and were really strongly attached to what the friends did or the relationship between the two moms or the two dads, so there’s really anyone who’s interested in thinking and talking about family was interested. And then the sci-fi was just a backdrop for that, so all the sci-fi folks loved it, too. So it’s nice that it’s a piece that has a larger range for audiences. How does this play differ from your previous plays? This play is more story-based. So it does move along at kind of a faster pace. There’s more humor. I did try and make it feel very much like a part of the stories you see today on Netflix or HBO, but theatricalize those ideas. I feel like that is the type of audience that is also going to love this piece. For more information about Babel, visit theatreexile.org. Ticket prices range from $10 to $40.

Farnese, Saval duke it out for the progressive vote It’s an interesting argument to make for Farnese, who will have to out-liberal a competitor whose political organization is largely responsible for the election of candidates such as Joe Hohenstein, Elizabeth Fiedler and, of course, Larry Krasner. By Tom Beck

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

f Thursday night’s GRASP candidates forum at Second District Brewing Company is any indication, the contest between incumbent Larry Farnese and political newcomer Nikil Saval (a newcomer to running for office, at least, since Saval is a cofounder of Reclaim Philadelphia) for Pennsylvania’s 1st Senatorial District is shaping up to be one to see who can appeal most to South Philly’s budding progressive wing. It’s an interesting argument to make for Farnese, who will have to out-liberal a competitor whose political organization is largely responsible for the election of candidates such as Joe Hohenstein, Elizabeth Fiedler and, of course, Larry Krasner. But he’s going for it. “One thing about me that has never changed is my progressive values,” said Farnese. “Even before I ran for the state legislature, I was a patient escort at Planned Parenthood, and I took those values to Harrisburg. I ran on a platform of reform.” Farnese was progressive before progressive was cool, he argued. “You may remember in 2011, [the state Senate] tried to give a sweetheart deal to the gas industry for up in Pike County with that cracker plant - about $66 million a year over 25 years,” said Farnese. “I was a no on that.” In his opening statement, he also touched on his unrelenting support of the environment, the LGBT community, affordable housing, women’s rights, Medicaid expansion and bike lanes. He got particularly loud applause for his efforts to spearhead a bill that makes it easier to implement protected bike lanes on state-owned

TOM BECK/South Philly Review

GRASP hosted a forum featuring Pennsylvania’s Democratic 1st Senatorial District candidates Nikil Saval and Larry Farnese on Thursday evening at Second District Brewing.

roads. Even Saval clapped along with those in the audience. Saval, not feeling the need to prove his progressive stances to anybody, took a different approach in his opening statement at Second District Brewing, 1939 S. Bancroft St. He focused more on his personal history. He was a journalist at the New York Times and, until recently, wrote a column for The New Yorker on urbanism, city planning and architecture and design. He bikes and rides SEPTA a lot. He was an organizer with UNITE Here, a union of hospitality workers that represents hotel workers in the district, including cafeteria workers and workers in the sports complex. He organized 40 people to run as committee people in the 2nd Ward, which he had been the leader of until he resigned to run in this race. “We transformed the ward,” he said. “We won the ward entirely, and I was elected ward

leader.” Subsequently, the ward became an open ward, which means its committee people vote on whom the ward endorses in local elections. (For the record, Farnese was quick to mention later in the night that the 8th Ward, which he’s the leader of, has been an open ward since 1972.) But Saval capped off his opening statement with the centerpiece of his campaign: A Green New Deal for housing. “That would build dense, multi-family affordable housing near transit,” he said of his plan, which includes rebuilding and greening every school in the district. “I want to expand our transit infrastructure and expand our bike infrastructure and make that part of our Green New Deal platform.” The ﬁrst question of the night was about making Philadelphia’s elections “more fair and representative of all the residents” in the city.

Farnese cited open wards, early voting and early registration as potential solutions. “I think we have to work on those issues, and I think we have to make sure we have access to candidates throughout every level of the process,” he said. Saval sort of disagreed with the premise of the question. “What I’ve seen from my work in the 2nd Ward and my work with Reclaim Philadelphia is that people do not simply turn out based on demographics,” he said. “It turns out that if you actually knock doors and canvas and have people spoken to on their values and what their stake is in an election and you have candidates that matter, that’s how people turn out to vote.” He added that the state should adopt same-day registration and open primaries. From there, the conversation moved along to the city’s opioid abuse problem. Both Farnese and Saval voiced support for safe injection sites. Saval tied the opioid issue in with the war on drugs, which he called the “penumbra” around the opioid issue. (Can you tell he wrote for The New Yorker?) “We should end mandatory minimums,” he said. “Our system of mass incarceration at least in part is predicated on the war on drugs, and the opioid crisis is a part of that. So I support safe consumption sites and [ending] mandatory minimums for drug offenses and also support life-saving medications for people in prison who actually suffer deaths from overdoses.” Farnese said he supported the governor’s decision to declare a state of emergency over the opioid problem. He piggybacked on Saval’s talk of criminal justice reform. “When folks come out of incarceration, they come out with either addiction or other types of issues,” he said. “We have to make sure that we have services in place to help them when they get out. They come out sometimes, they don’t have an opportunity to get a medical card. They don’t have an opportunity to get medication that they actually need while they’re incarcerated.” When moderators moved on to questions about the best way to fund services in the state, Farnese jumped at the chance to say no to a sales tax increase, which he said often comes up at the state level. He called it a regressive tax. He said the state should “take a serious look at” raising the personal income tax rate, which hasn’t been raised since 1994. (For the record, this is also a regressive tax. Thanks to the state’s uniformity clause, personal income taxes in Pennsylvania are levied ﬂatly at 3.07 percent See GRASP page 7>>

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW | FEBRUARY 12, 2020 | SOUTHPHILLYREVIEW.COM

GRASP candidates forum <<Continued from page 6 across the board, unlike most states, which have tax brackets that tax higher income more. Pennsylvania is one of only 11 states to have a ﬂat income tax across the board, or 18 if you count the states that have no state income tax at all.) He also said the state had a “rainy day fund,” which the state could draw from to, say, ﬁx the “toxic school problem” in Philadelphia without raising taxes. Saval came up with an interesting idea to get around the state’s annoying uniformity clause: have a tax on wages and interest and another tax on wealth. “If we reduce the taxes on wages and interest” - which would disproportionately affect lower income people - “and raise the tax on income from wealth” - which would disproportionately affect higher-income people - “that’s both equitable and it raises revenues,” he said. He cited a report from the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, which would raise about $2.2 billion annually. Saval also advocated for the closing of the Delaware loophole, which, he said, “basically allows a lot of large, multi-state or multinational corporations to underreport the amount of business they do in Pennsylvania.”

Farnese said that he and the rest of the Democratic caucus has tried to lobby Gov. Tom Wolf to close the loophole “year after year,” but that “there just aren’t the votes in the Senate to get that done.” The best way to close the Delaware loophole, he said, “is to ﬂip the Senate.” The discussion eventually turned to affordable rent. Farnese bragged of bringing $14 million for 1,100 affordable housing units in the city. He grazed on the topic of rent control, without deﬁnitely saying whether he supported the idea or not. “I think we have to have a conversation” about rent control, he said. He went on to praise newly elected City Councilmember Kendra Brooks for calling for hearings on rent control. Saval, however, went all in on rent control. “I support a state-wide rent control measure,” he said, “which would allow cities to set rent increases tied to the cost of living.” Saval also said he supports the use of community land trusts in Philadelphia, which is a unique concept that prevents rapid increases of property value, virtually guaranteeing that residents never get priced out of their own homes. He also advocated for state-wide right to counsel for evictions and just-cause laws. The Pennsylvania primary is Tuesday, April 28.

Donatucci, Farnese like Wolf’s budget State Rep. Maria Donatucci and state Sen. Larry Farnese praised the 2020-21 budget proposal outlined last week by Gov. Tom Wolf. “Gov. Wolf’s proposal is progressive and postures Pennsylvania to truly be the commonwealth that is fair, safe and equitable for all residents,” said Donatucci, who serves as Democratic secretary and subcommittee chairwoman of economic impact and infrastructure on the House Appropriations Committee. “Ensuring that the governor’s proposals become a reality is a top priority in my committee work.” Donatucci said Wolf’s budget proposal includes heavy investment in public schools and early childhood education as well as a new workforce initiative to prepare more workers for in-demand jobs. He also proposed a new scholarship program to help students attending State System of Higher Education universities avoid crushing student debt. “Focusing on every academic stage of pupils across Pennsylvania promotes a crop of residents who are well-educated and well-prepared to ﬂourish in their future careers,” Donatucci said. Wolf renewed his call for legislators to pass measures to reduce gun violence, including a “red ﬂag” law and universal background checks

Meanwhile, Farnese liked Wolf’s $1 billion plan for ending the plague of toxic schools and his support for SB614, the senator’s measure that would protect people. regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, from discrimination in housing, employment or accommodation. “It is important that we all understand that the governor standing up for these priorities does not mean that we can stand down. There is a long tough fight ahead, and we have to be prepared to fight as if our future depends on it, because it does,” Farnese said.

The Return of

Carnac the Magnificent

E D I TO R I A L C A R TO O N

ey, you crazy nostalgia fans! Thank you for being so thrilled with our column (01/22/20) featuring the return of David Letterman’s Top Ten list. This week, we again dip into the past to bring you the return of Johnny Carson’s Carnac the Magnificent. Johnny has donned a freshly pressed turban and cloak for the occasion. CARDELLA: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re honored to welcome back after many years, someone whose stature rivals that of those men on Mount Rushmore. Someone who has no peer. That wonder of the ages -- and former delivery boy for DAD’S MEATS -- Carnac the Magnificent! CARNAC: That was a better-paying gig than this one, let me tell you. CARDELLA: Why have you stayed away so long, oh mighty Carnac? CARNAC: Death. Dying creates long absences. CARDELLA: Well, what’s important is that you’re here with us now. CARNAC: I’d say I’m important. What was your choice? Bring me back or go a week without writing a column and not getting paid? CARDELLA: (clearing his throat, while pointedly ignoring the last remark). I have in my hand these envelopes. They’ve been hermetically sealed by a genuine South Philadelphia hermit, who has been living in a cave at an unannounced location since Frank Rizzo departed this vale of tears -- emerging only for this special occasion. Without, as they say, further ado, here is the first envelope. CARNAC: Please, I can only do this in absolute silence. Turn off your flip phones and Walkmans… Answer: Bible belt. Question: What holds up Pat Robertson’s pants? Answer: The Electoral College. Question: What is the former name of Trump University? (Man in front row wearing a MAGA hat boos). CARNAC: (speaking to that man). Sir? Is that a giant-sized TWIX bar in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?...(continuing)… Answer: Molly Bee. Question: What comes after Molly A?

LE T TERS TO THE EDITOR Private and charter schools have too much control During his State of the Union speech on Feb. 4, President Trump announced that a little fourth-grade girl from Philadelphia - who was present with her mother - would be the recipient of an “Opportunity Scholarship” to attend the school of her “choice.“ That “scholarship” was actually donated by billionaire Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who joins the president and Vice President Pence in calling for federal funding of millions of such “scholarships” to free children from having to attend what they call “failing government schools.” First of all, DeVos and the Trump administration ignore the history of a federalized system of American education where each state constructs its own laws and funding pertaining to its schools. In Pennsylvania, for example, it is against the law, under separation of church and state, to give tax money to religious schools. I am putting quotation marks around the words “school choice,” because full parental choice does not truly exist in the private sector,

including privately managed charter schools. Nor is it “free.” Anyone who claims otherwise is spreading a hoax. Current Pennsylvania law, however, does direct some taxpayer dollars away from public education to secular or sectarian private schools, along with less transparency or accountability. For example, students attending Saints Neuman/Goretti Catholic High, who are granted “opportunity scholarships” under the Pennsylvania Education Improvement Tax Credit Act, are not required to take the same high-stakes standardized tests as children in regular or charter public schools. How can this happen? These EITC “scholarships” are deliberately designed to circumvent state regulations. The original donors do not award money directly to the student or school but to a (third party) “scholarship organization.” So, if a group gives the middleman organization $1,000, the donors can receive up to 90%, or $900, in tax credits. Of course, the middleman also retains a fee. And the taxpayers get the bill. Then the organization selects

an applicant from a waiting list to receive the “scholarship.” Even with all that, private schools always retain the “choice” of which students are admitted or retained, after which they do not have to refund the taxpayers. Publicly funded but privately managed charter schools operate the same way. They have full control of who gets in and who stays. Putting education on the for-proﬁt free market encourages tax-supported discrimination and segregation by ability. Only one education system is required by law to provide seats for all students regardless of race or ability - the public schools. Gloria C. Endres

Haig is taking audiences on a fantastic journey By Mark Zimmaro

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

hris Haig’s work has taken him many places. More importantly, he’s taken audience members on fantastic journeys, without ever leaving their seats. As a theater set and prop designer, Haig has led exhibitions to faraway kingdoms to peek in on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He’s interrupted a Midsummer Night’s Dream in Athens, and he’s been Lost in Yonkers. Other jobs had him replicating pre-Y2K Northern Idaho in “The Few” or small-town Wales in “Love, Lies and Taxidermy.” Just name your destination, and Haig will get you there. No long plane ride, no passport required. “It all starts from reading the script,” Haig said. “But the creative ideas about how to express that script usually comes from collaborating with a director. I just visualize that as best as I can in the real world. I get inspired by doing research in the time periods of the shows. I get inspired to look into the themes of the play and look for works of art that speak to that.” Haig, a 40-year-old Point Breeze resident, has made a name for himself in following that plan. He’s heavily involved in several theater productions throughout Philadelphia and has built an extensive

resume over the last 20 years. His set designs have been seen at the Arden Theatre, Theatre Horizon, 1812 Productions and Simpatico Theatre, where he received a Barrymore Nomination for best scenic design for “Time Is On Our Side.” Most recently, he built the set for “A Hundred Words for Snow” by Tatty Hennessy, which is playing at the Louis Bluver Theatre at 302 S. Hicks St. until Feb. 23. Directed by Claire Moyer and starring Satchel Williams, it’s a one-person show that tells the story of 15-year-old Rory, whose geography teacher father has recently died. Struggling with grief, she pursues his lifelong dream and journeys to the North Pole. Tickets are $15-$35 as part of Philly Theatre Week. For reservations, call 215-454-9776 or visit inisnuatheatre.org. Haig was tasked with making the audience feel they were in the barren snowy wilderness without the use of actual glaciers. He used a backdrop created out of fire-retardant paper that is usually used by welders to catch slag. Crumpled up, it catches the light like a glacier would. “That idea of the arctic, and trying to get that realistically, is impossible at our budget,” Haig said. “We found artist’s representations of what the arctic is or what snow is. It was taking abstract ideas of the arctic. It comes from all different directions.” Haig originally aspired to be an actor after receiv-

ing his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from the University of the Arts in 2001. He spent a year in Los Angeles, attempting to break into acting but quickly decided to head back east. “I found it to be a terrible experience,” he said. “That place just wasn’t for me. So making the decision to come home, knowing that I had friends in the theater companies and knowing I would have work here, that was the transition point for me.” But Haig decided he’d rather design the sets rather than act on them. He played catchup on learning about design work since his college didn’t have a program at the time. Haig worked hard at his craft and he’s been happy ever since. “I decided I hated auditioning,” Haig said with a laugh. “The struggle and the hustle of being an actor just wasn’t for me. So I transitioned into a full-time designer.” Don’t let him fool you, he still hustles. “It’s true,” Haig said. “All of us in this business still have multiple jobs. It’s just the nature of the industry. I work (as the Properties and Master Set Designer) at the Arden Theatre but I still do a lot of freelance work.” He’ll likely continue to be a busy man as his sets continue to dazzle theater crowds. “Philadelphia theater scene is crazy,” he said. MARK ZIMMARO/South Philly Review “We have like 80 theaters. It’s alive and a great place Chris Haig is a talented set to work.” designer.

MUMMERS: at Xfinity Live! <<Continued from page 1 photo booth with Mummers props and face painting help create a family atmosphere at the event. Children under 3 are admitted free. A large portion of the money raised will benefit the Mummers String Band Association. In recent years, after cuts in the city’s budget, the Mummers Association has suffered economically, causing a reduction in the ranks of Mummers and their performance clubs. “It’s no secret that the Mummers String Bands have been hurting for years,” said John Pignotti Jr., president of the Mummers String Band Association. “We desperately need the support of the Philadelphia community to keep this great tradition alive. We are indebted to ADVENT for creating and producing this wonderful event to help

support the Mummers String Bands. To be able to play for folks in our backyard in South Philly is just icing on the cake.” Mummers Mardi Gras has raised more than $130,000 for the string bands over the years and has provided an opportunity for the Mummers to strut with fans of all ages in the place where the tradition originated. “Any way to help these people who invest so much time and energy,” DeCandido said. “These bands have to raise about $100,000 a year just to get their costumes and keep up with their instruments. They’re gigging all year long. We created Mummers Mardi Gras less than two months after New Year’s Day. We just want to start their year off with some good exposure and help them raise some money early on.”

Mario Gallelli, 84, passed away on February 2, 2020 at home surrounded by his loving family. Born in Santa Caterina, Catanzaro, Italy on August 8, 1935 to Cecilia (Riillo) and Pasquale Gallelli. He married the love of his life Triestina (Paparo) September 3, 1961. He then migrated with his beautiful wife to America in 1962. They resided in South Philadelphia for almost 27 years. Mario opened his first business “Gallelli Brothers Auto Repair” in Lester, Pa which thrived for over 30 years. In 1989 Triestina and Mario then made the decision to move their entire family to Ocean City, NJ to begin a new endeavor by purchasing the Tahiti Inn & Apartments, which solidified Mario’s business and family legacy. Mario enjoyed working in his much admired gardens at the Tahiti Inn. His prized gardens were a background for many photos that included family, friends, customers and tourists alike. Mario was also a very skilled craftsman who was able to maintain and repair whatever came his way.

SPORTS

Fagans aims to meet his lofty goals by putting in the work By Mark Zimmaro

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

ndrew Fagans has a lot of confidence pumping through his veins. He’s only a sophomore at the Academy at Palumbo but he believes the small high school in South Philadelphia won’t be his final stop playing basketball. “My goal is to be in the NBA and make my mark,” Fagans said. “But I have goals for that, too. I want to be one of the best scorers in history, at least top 10, and I want to be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the time I retire.” It certainly can be labeled as lofty aspirations. But Fagans’ confidence gives some pause before doubting him. And his strong mental game was on display on Feb. 6 as the Griffins faced Mastery Charter North in the Philadelphia Public League playoffs. Fagans was fouled with one second left in a 60-60 game. He needed to make only one shot and he sunk them both. No sweat. Nothing but net. “It was just a real fun experience,” Fagans said. “Maybe I didn’t seem excited at the line but my heart was racing. Sometimes I do miss them, but I made it and I got the game-winner.” Palumbo coach Frank Schneider recalled a day earlier when the team practiced a late-game situation and Fagans was on the line shooting two. “He actually air-balled a free throw,” Schnei-

Palumbo’s Andrew Fagans is lifted by his teammates after sinking two free throws to win a game over Mastery Charter North. der said with a laugh. “He’s going to get mad I said that. But I told him there was nothing to change with his mechanics. He’s a 90-percent free-throw shooter, and I said, ‘Just make the next one.’ And he went 4-for-4 right after that. He’s just so confident.” It’s one thing to have confidence. It’s another

to have the work ethic to back it up. Fagans is a sponge at practice and aims to meet his lofty goals by putting in the work. “I can’t take credit for how good he is,” Schneider said. “You tell him once, and he gets it. And he’s just such a good kid and he wants so badly to get better.”

And he listens to the right people. Fagans looks up to teammate Ibrahim Kane, who recently became the third player in Palumbo’s school history to score 1,000 career points. “He’s just a leader on and off the court,” Fagans said of Kane. “He sticks with me. He helps me with my grades. He helps me keep my head up and he doesn’t get mad. If he messes up or if I mess up, we go on to the next play.” Kane has passed 2012 grad Demetrius Davenport (1,009 career points) and could soon catch 2017 grad Myles Carter (1,042). The alumni have been supportive of the current players catching them. The current guys reciprocate the favor by dedicating their efforts to past players. “We play for the guys who came before us,” Kane said. “That’s all that matters. Whenever we put that jersey on, we have to play hard because the other people that have worn it played hard. We need to keep that tradition going.” Fagans, of course, promised to join the 1,000point club in the next two years. “I’m pushing for it,” he said. “It would mean everything to leave my mark here at Palumbo.” He’s also looking forward to the extra responsibilities that come along with being a junior or a senior. He’s looking to be the mentor role that Kane was to him. “I’m definitely looking forward to it,” Fagans said. “I’m looking forward to getting better in the off-season. Next year I want to be one of Palumbo’s best, one of public school’s best and help out the team however I can.”

EAGLES INSIDER

In Doug We Trust: Pederson leads with a steady hand

f Eagles head coach Doug Pederson hasn’t done enough in four seasons to earn the trust of the fans, and the benefit of any doubts, then someone needs to launch an investigation. In those four years, the Eagles have reached the playoffs three times, winning Super Bowl LII three seasons ago. In the two years since then, Pederson’s steady hand and unflappable optimism have helped resurrect seasons in mid struggle and have pushed the Eagles into the postseason. The 2019 season was a perfect example of Pederson’s strength as he reconstructed the offensive structure in the face of a spate of injuries and the team swept its final four games of the year to win the

SPORTS

NFC East and reach the playoffs. Who would possibly doubt Pederson at this point? Hasn’t he done enough to convince everyone that he’s among the NFL’s best head coaches? Ye t , t h e r e are critics. Pederson’s coaching staff has taken on a makeover, and as part of that he won’t have an official offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. The Eagles join the

Dave

Spadaro

San Francisco 49ers as a team without a traditional offensive coordinator, and the one thing both teams share in common is that the head coaches, Pederson here and Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco, call the offensive plays. The offensive coordinator, then, is always an “offensive coordinator” in those instances because the head coach is the one truly calling the shots on offense. Pederson definitely calls the shots. This is his coaching staff, and he made sure once the 2019 season ended to look far and wide for new faces bringing in new ideas to the Eagles on both sides of the football. It took some time. Not having a “standard” structure has taken some folks by surprise.

There aren’t a lot of “big” names from those added to the coaching staff. And none of that matters one bit. Pederson is the man in charge here and he’s got the staff in place that he wanted. On defense, the Eagles changed at defensive line (naming Matt Burke the coach there) and in the secondary (naming Marquand Manuel the coach there), two areas of need. Coaching is going to play a huge part in the improvement the Eagles need to make rushing the quarterback and defending the deep passing game. Offensively, the Eagles have been good, and at times very good, with Pederson at the helm. The scheme hasn’t really been in as much question as the personnel. Injuries have

been a huge factor in the struggles offensively through the Pederson years. He hopes the tweaks made to the offensive side of the coaching staff will bring quarterback Carson Wentz more options in the passing game, more early-game scoring and more explosiveness all around. So, the coaching staff is complete. Pederson has his pieces in place. The next step in this offseason is building the roster, and that’s going to come in free agency in March and then in the NFL Draft in April. That’s where the real improvement has to come. The coaching staff? Pederson has it under control, and In Doug We Trust. Hasn’t he earned that from all of us?

Lyon rolls with the punches while waiting for the next call By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

lex Lyon is a guy who likes a steady routine. But it’s something he had basically no control over during his time as the Flyers’ third goalie. Rolling with the punches is something Lyon is getting more comfortable with, while waiting for the next call. “I’m the kind of guy that likes going home every day and I like eating the same thing and going to sleep at the same time,” Lyon said. “I’m very regimented in that way. But it’s also been a great learning lesson for me to deal with uncertainty. It’s helped me mature a lot and grow as a person. It sucks, but it’s also part of the gig.” When opportunity knocks, the routines are out the window and Lyon is ready to pounce. Carter Hart’s injury a few weeks back opened the door for Lyon to join the Flyers in a backup role to Brian Elliott. But with that, Lyon goes from starting two or three games a week with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, to a spot start here and there with the big club, as well as sometimes sharing a net at practice, making it tough to get into a rhythm. Lyon’s first appearance this season was a 4-1 letdown loss to the Montreal

Canadiens on Jan. 16, which was the second half of a back-to-back, a night after the Flyers took down the defending champion St. Louis Blues. He had to wait 16 days until his next chance (although he did squeeze in two starts with the Phantoms during the NHL All-Star break), and Lyon made the most of it, earning a 6-3 victory over the high-powered Colorado Avalanche on Feb. 1. “Just to contribute feels really, really good,” Lyon said. “It’s what any hockey player wants to do is to contribute to the success of the team. At the same time, I’m over it and gotta move on and try to bring the same work ethic on a daily basis.” Lyon made 28 saves that game and held one of the best lines in hockey in check by allowing just one goal to Mikko Rantanen while keeping Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog off the board. It was, once again, the second half of a back-toback and Lyon stood tall. “When I needed Alex to come in against Colorado, he was a difference maker,” Flyers coach Alain Vigneault said. “A big part of any team’s success is goaltending. We’re getting solid goaltending.” That includes Elliott, who had a 146-4 record through the weekend, with a .901 save percentage following a

7-2 blowout win over the Washington Capitals. When Lyon was asked about studying under Elliott last week, his face lit up. “Having a great deal of respect for (Elliott) would be an understatement,” Lyon said. “I think he’s a true professional and works his (butt) off. I’ve learned so much from him in the time I’ve been here. He brings the same exact product to the rink every single day, which is something I aspire to have. His longevity is proof that it works. Everybody wants him on their team. I strive to be like Brian Elliott.” Having played 153 professional games, including 138 in the AHL with the Phantoms (71-52-12-6 record, .914 career save percentage), Lyon could offer a bit of advice himself. But when he looks at 21-year-old Hart, he’d rather be the student than the teacher. “I try to be sponge around him but I would never tell him that,” Lyon said with a laugh. “But on the ice, watching the things he does, he’s so instinctual. He’s got such a good goaltending base and foundation. I try to watch and learn as much as I can from both of those guys.” Lyon isn’t sure if he’ll get another start this season, as Hart has returned from a short stint on injured reserve. Lyon was returned to Lehigh Val-

guys. It’s been my home for four years and I miss being at the PPL Center every day. I wouldn’t trade (playing in the NHL), but it’s a pretty great second option.”

New Alternative to Adult Diapers and Catheters Sets Men Free

‘Super-comfortable,’ oﬀers 24 hour leak-free security, available to many at little to no out-of-pocket cost! CHICAGO — If you’re one of the four million American men who secretly wear adult diapers, or use a catheter to deal with your urinary incontinence or weak bladder, here’s some lifechanging news. There’s a new non-catheter alternative available that not only helps keep men dry and leak-free for up to 24 consecutive hours, but the best part is, if you’re covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and some select insurance plans, you can try this high-tech ‘ﬂuid collection’ breakthrough at little to no out-of-pocket cost.

“The most degrading thing that my husband can think of is being in a diaper,” says Tina J. “Men’s Liberty to the rescue. We attended our granddaughter’s graduation in comfort and without the fear. You couldn’t tell he had it on, which was a big concern for him.”

Invisible Under Clothing Men’s Liberty is made of a gentle, skinfriendly material called hydrocolloid, a medicalgrade adhesive that softly stretches and moves with a man as he changes position. Unlike absorbents that cause diaper rash, yeast infections, and dermatitis, Men’s Liberty attaches to the tip of a man’s anatomy, directing his ﬂow to a discreet collection pouch.

It’s comfortable, unnoticeable to others, and secure. It’s this trusted sense of security that assistant registered nurse and caregiver, Mark Nagle, NAR, calls, “wonderful.” DoctorRecommended “It doesn’t cause skin irritation, and my patients never have to worry about red spots or sores. My patient doesn’t wear disposable briefs anymore, and I am happy to report that we always have a dry bed and a dry pair of pants.” For John C., Men’s Liberty is a “lifesaver.” Carefree Comfort For years, John dealt with urinary incontinence by wearing an indwelling catheter. When he discovered Men’s Liberty, his life changed. “It’s allowed me to maintain my lifestyle with my work and my family.” Death of Diapers? Will this urinary breakthrough sink the $7 billion adult diaper industry? Many experts think so. Because adult diapers are not covered by Medicare, the estimated four million men who use them daily pay as much as $300 a month in out of pocket costs. Tucson resident, Sam T., wore them for years. “I remember the continued moisture in my crotch would give me a yeast infection, not a good thing,” he says. Sam wore four or ﬁve absorbents during the day, and two or three at night. “All of that went away when I found Men’s Liberty,” he smiles.

others because you fear loss of control, or fear what others might think of you, goes away.” “I think that Liberty is well named in that it liberates the individual to a sense of being able to perform normal tasks in a normal way.”

The $7B adult diaper industry is facing a catastrophic drop in revenue thanks to a revolutionary development in men’s urological care.

Enjoy Life Again “I can wear Men’s Liberty for 24 hours with minimal interruption,” says Sam, “even after drinking coffee!” “Movies, meetings and social affairs are all possible now. Our granddaughter graduated with honors from high school last week,” says the beaming grandfather. “I sat beside my wife, applauding!” During the sizzling hot Arizona summers, you’ll always find Sam in a pair of cargo shorts. “I buy my shorts with an 11-inch inseam, which is perfect for Men’s Liberty,” he says. Discreet and Unnoticed “The drain nozzle is hidden right above the hemline. So, I can stand at the urinal, like other guys, and discreetly drain the pouch, and no one notices a thing. In ten seconds, I’m good to go!” Managing urinary incontinence in a medical setting can be challenging. Urinary tract infections

(UTIs) are frequently caused by catheter use. If untreated, UTIs can cause a secondary infection, often resulting in hospitalization. That’s why Men’s Liberty is recommended by leading healthcare professionals. Doctor’s Choice Urologist Alden Cockburn, MD, has personally tried Men’s Liberty and now recommends it to his patients. “I tried it myself during one of the testing phases and it’s very comfortable; certainly, more comfortable than the alternatives,” he says. “It allows men to have freedom of movement.” “I think Liberty is a good name because it does aﬀord men the liberty of a lifestyle that was not aﬀorded to them before.” When you feel in control of your sense of well-being,” adds Dr. Cockburn, “you feel more able to accomplish tasks that you previously wanted to bypass.” “The feeling of not wanting to associate with

A Grand Experiment Curious Sam T. in Tucson wanted to see how much liquid Men’s Liberty would hold. “I can’t claim to be an expert research analyst,” laughs Sam, “but here is what I learned.” Sam ﬁrst ﬁlled a fresh Liberty unit with water and learned that it securely held one full cup. On the top of his shelf, Sam found a few pairs of disposable briefs with built-in absorbent pads. To his surprise, these held a whopping two cups of liquid, which may not be helpful, according to Sam. “I saw an ad on the internet,” says Sam, “that showed some guy wearing these briefs, walking around with a big smile on his face.” “I thought to myself, yeah... if I had two cups of urine sloshing around my crotch, I wouldn’t be smiling, and I would sure be walking ‘funny.’” “Also,” says Sam, “the slightest pressure on an absorbent will cause it to leak. Men’s Liberty doesn’t leak and sure won’t cause “funny” walking,” he says. Four Million Used! More than 4 million Men’s Liberty units have been used, with ZERO attributable UTIs or serious skin injuries.

That comes as no surprise to the thousands of healthcare professionals who recommend Men’s Liberty everyday. Dr. Fernando Borges. “I recommend Men’s Liberty to patients with urinary incontinence because of the low incidents of trauma, erosion, and infection.”

Long-haul truck drivers like Wayne J. rely on Men’s Liberty between rest stops.

Covered by Medicare Men’s Liberty is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and over 3,000 insurance plans. Compared to paying over $300 a month for diapers, you could be getting Men’s Liberty for little or no out-of- pocket cost! The Men’s Liberty Team will take care of contacting your doctor and all the paperwork for your insurance. No overwhelming insurance forms... it’s that easy!

Dear Jesus - Prayer for Favors

Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past, I have asked for many favors. This time, I ask you this very special one (mention favor). Take it dear Jesus and place it within your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine. Amen. Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and your favor will be granted. Never known to fail. C.S. Never Failing Prayer to St. Michael ST. MICHAEL, I RESORT TO YOUR PROTECTION AND, IN MY FAITH, OFFER THIS LIGHT WHICH SHALL BURN EVERY TUESDAY. Comfort me in my difďŹ culties and, though lodging in the house of our savior, intercede for me and my family that we will be able to hold God close to our hearts and be provided for in all of our necessities. I beseech You to have inďŹ nite pity in regard to the favors I ask of you (name them), that I may be able to overcome all difďŹ culties as You did the dragon at Your feet. SAY THREE (3) HAIL MARYS: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.Amen. SAY THREE (3) OUR FATHERS: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.Amen. SAY THREE (3) GLORY BES: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be,World without End.Amen. S.T.J. NM-00421204
