Fun and life lessons

Ten Northeast High School students just spent five days canoeing at the Delaware Water Gap – with no cell phones or traditional ways to cook, sleep and go to the bathroom – and they loved it.

Even during a few days when bugs, hornets and a canoe tip replaced TikTok and Instagram.

“We had a blast enjoying each other’s company,” said junior Sandy Mezadieu. “We made new friends and connected on a better level at the bonfire the last night. It brought us closer.”

Sandy was the one who tipped over in a canoe with chaperone Andy Adams.

“It was pretty fun to tip over,” she said.

The expedition was courtesy of the Philadelphia Outward Bound School, which provides outdoor classroom activities for students.

Chris Richter, Outward Bound School’s director of marketing communications, explained that the school has been in existence since 1992 and has a contract with the School District of Philadelphia to provide free out-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Invest in civic education

I want to commend Aizaz Gill for his op-ed in the Northeast Times on improving civics education in grades K-12. The decline of emphasis on our Judeo-Christian heritage, history and civics in our education system has not been covered nearly enough, and I’m glad that someone wrote about this important topic. Reading the op-ed, I was dismayed, though not shocked, seeing that only 47% of American adults can name the 3 branches of government correctly.

For too long, civics has been ignored on our children’s education and it has led to too many young people lacking a basic understanding of the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and above all the inspiration of our Godly founding fathers as Mr. Gill pointed out in his op-ed. As a father who has three children attending different schools in Philadelphia right now, I would like my kids to learn about our JudeoChristian heritage, history, Godly heritage, the rights and duties of citizenship bestowed upon them by the United States Constitution.

For American democracy to prosper, it is of the utmost importance that we begin investing in our kids’ civic education as soon as possible, teaching them about universal ethics in the form of Ten Commandments, emphasizing respect for life and society. I join Aizaz Gill in urging Pennsylvania lawmakers to find ways to increase governmental literacy among our young people emphasizing our true values and real Judeo-Christian heritage by putting God first in our country for a stronger and better America as our founding fathers did. God bless America.

More favorite mini-walks

In response to Richard Iaconelli’s

“Favorite mini-walks” letter, my walks are usually early in the morning, just as the sun starts to rise in the sky. It’s quiet and peaceful. The area around Pennypack Park along Strahle Street is nice. Sometimes deer and rabbits pass by there and I’ll just stop to quietly watch what they’ll do. Bergen Street is also a pleasant area to explore.

The Pennypack Environmental Center is another favorite of mine.

“Greenbelt Knoll” around Holme Avenue sounds interesting. The next rainfree day I will definitely explore that area. Thanks for sharing these great places.

An impossible scenario?

Suppose the city greenlights the Sixers’ proposed arena in Chinatown and then makes the expensive and extensive aboveand-below-ground infrastructure changes that such a project requires. Next, suppose the developers build the arena, which is essentially a large sunken bowl surrounded by gobs of flexible space on multiple levels. Then, suppose the Sixers organization elects NOT to move to the arena, but instead decides either to stay at the renovated Wells Fargo location or to move to a new arena that Comcast has indicated an interest in building in South Philadelphia. What will the supposedly surprised developers and city then propose to do with an empty and unoccupied, shiny new entertainment complex in Center City, serviced by updated transportation facilities and near both the Convention Center and a large newer hotel?

In order to avoid any waste of spent monies, might the city be compelled to, ever so reluctantly, recommend that a casino be allowed to operate on the site? Even though it has rejected the idea of such a

Center City casino in the past? Nah. This is Philly. Orchestrated outcomes like that could never happen here.

Afraid to enforce the law

On a recent Sunday, an angry mob attacked police vehicles with officers in them, slashing tires and trapped an officer in his car as he radioed frantically for backup. Only a couple of reporters are talking about it. Can you guess why? Can you also guess why the police did nothing and no one will be arrested for this?

I was a quiet Catholic boy for over half my life because that’s what I was taught to be; ask no questions and don’t cause a stir and everything will work out. Recently I learned it doesn’t.

So now, I’m going to tell it like it is and pull no punches. Nothing will be done about that attack because the hands of the police are tied (no fault of the police) by a city administration that as part of some equity nonsense and fear of being labeled racist and to try to buy votes has made the police apprehensive about enforcing the

law with people of color. Period. The worst part is that it is people of color who will be most impacted negatively as a result. More businesses are closing and moving out of the city’s most crime-ridden neighborhoods as well as people who have the means to do so. People will have to travel farther to purchase goods and services. As developers swoop in and gobble up those properties, many remaining residents will be pushed out as home values and taxes increase making living there unaffordable. As these residents are pushed out, new living spaces will be built along with new stores that will target wealthier people and will be guarded by private security firms happily paid for by those who can afford it. In the stores, lower-priced goods are being removed from the shelves and replaced by higher-end items. Another way to price people out of neighborhoods. If some didn’t know this was the plan all along, now you do. But remember; this is what you voted for when you chose to elect and reelect the same ilk running the city. So now you got what you asked for. Reap it.

Curbing boom parties

City Councilman Mike Driscoll introduced legislation to enforce strict measures on nuisance vehicles, those that amplify sound heard at a distance greater than 100 feet from the vehicle. Under the proposed ordinance, violators face a $2,000 penalty and risk forfeiture of the vehicle unless it is being used in connection with a city-permitted event. The legislation aims to curb “boom parties,” where large groups of people gather along the Delaware River and blast music from cars that are equipped with massive speakers. The vibrations and sound are loud enough to carry across the water to impact neighbors on both sides of the river. Driscoll worked with the Philadelphia Police Department on the legislation, and officers will be authorized to issue violation notices and sized vehicles.

“Residents along the river have endured the excessive noise long enough at all hours of the day and night. We need to take strict enforcement measures and signal that we’re not going to tolerate it anymore,” Driscoll said. “It’s a quality-of-life issue that has escalated in recent years, and enough is enough.” ••

Funding for Fox Chase

Fox Chase group OKs name change

The Fox Chase Homeowners Association last week voted, 28-0, to change its name to Fox Chase Civic Association.

The group is seeking to become incorporated. However, there is an incorporated group named Foxchase Homeowners Association in Washington County, in western Pennsylvania. The name change needed a two-thirds vote to pass.

Bump-outs, crime news at TBYN meeting

The Water Department’s Maura Jarvis discussed bump-outs as part of stormwater management at Monday’s Take Back Your Neighborhood meeting.

The water goes into the dirt and ultimately into the ground in the bump-outs rather than storm drains.

Some at the meeting wanted signs near the bump-outs so drivers don’t park next to them.

Others mentioned the Water Department’s proposed rate increase. There will be hearings before the rate board makes a decision.

Another question was about all of the illegal car washes, with the water going into storm drains.

They said arrest warrants have been issued for two people believed to be involved in last month’s triple murder on the 5900 block of Palmetto St. in Lawncrest. The victims were 14, 17 and 18 years old.

No progress has been made in finding the three suspects or the 48-year-old man abducted on March 31 on the 900 block of E. Godfrey Ave. in Summerdale.

Inspector Frank Bachmayer will hold a town hall on Wednesday, May 24, at 7 p.m. at Abraham Lincoln High School.

National Night Out will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 1, outside Fox Chase Elementary School.

As summer approaches, there are concerns that the swimming pool at Max Myers Recreation Center will not open or will open late due to maintenance issues that, some say, have been ignored by the city.

The district will evaluate applications for another summer favorite, block parties. Streets that have a history of crime will have their applications rejected.

door activities. There are 10 such schools in the United States and 36 in the world. Donors, grants and foundations fund their work, which includes a free weeklong program for veterans.

The local Outward Bound School and Audubon Pennsylvania are at the Discovery Center at 3401 Reservoir Drive. Some 100-plus miles away is the Delaware Water Gap, on the Pennsylvania/New Jersey border.

“This is all about immersing yourself in nature,” Richter said.

The expedition took place from May 8-12 and is meant to teach leadership, teamwork, self-reliance, organization, responsibility and other skills while they are canoeing on the water and living on small islands.

The expedition consisted of Outward Bound instructors Maura Dajevskis and Ben

Goodman, Northeast High chaperones Andy Adams and Katherine Bruns and Northeast High seniors Ethan Winter, Lanasia Rosado, Raquelle Dandy, Aniyah Hawkins and Weixiang Tian and juniors Sandy Mezadieu, Bora Thach, Rick Martins, Christopher Medina and Soamillys Vargas-Gonzalez. Two people were in each canoe.

The group deemed itself the “Adams Family.” Andy Adams is a Northeast High history teacher who also runs Project SPARC and Natural Resource Management and is an Outward Bound board member.

At the start, the students were taught to paddle and steer the canoes. In all, they paddled 38 miles in four days and forged new

friendships. Adams, who didn’t get into a canoe until age 30, said the students learned well. They were going in circles at the start, then soon were skilled enough to race each other.

Students carried heavy gear, dug holes to go to the bathroom and learned to pitch tents, cook and navigate the river. They spent an hour of reflection and wrote a letter that will be mailed to them in six months.

Adams said he was happy to spend Teacher Appreciation Week with the students and described the experience as “absolutely amazing.”

“Outward Bound is a godsend,” he said. “The wilderness was our house. You become family after this. It brings them together. You have to operate as a team or it doesn’t work.”

The trip featured nice weather and great scenery.

Dajevskis, the Outward Bound instructor, said she was

happy to see the students both act independently and work as a unit, making decisions by consensus.

“This was one of my best expeditions to date,” she said.

After arriving back, the students were treated to pizza, given their phones, received patches as Outward Bound alumni and gathered in a circle to share their experience.

“I was really nervous, but I was really excited to get out in nature,” said Soamillys VargasGonzalez. “It went great. We had a really good time.”

“We got to know each other and it brought us together,” said Raquelle Dandy.

And while they got a little homesick, they didn’t really miss their cell phones.

“We didn’t need our phones,” Raquelle said. ••

New Foundations senior hits milestone

Scoring 100 career goals during a high school lacrosse career is a heck of an accomplishment under any circumstances.

But when you’re new to the sport and miss two seasons due to the pandemic, it’s an even bigger accomplishment.

That’s exactly what Riley Gurten did at New Foundations Charter High School last week when she netted her 100th career goal during a victory over Delaware Valley in a lopsided victory for the Bulldogs.

Not bad for a kid who never picked up a lacrosse stick until she got to high school, and even then had a long delay before the longtime soccer star could truly consider herself a lacrosse player.

“My mom wanted me to play another sport and lacrosse was something similar to soccer, just played with a stick,” said Gurten, who lives in Holmesburg. “And I played soccer, and it’s the same coach, so I felt comfortable playing for him. So I decided to try it.

“I wanted to play, but freshman year it was canceled and sophomore year was on and off. We barely played. Freshman year I would work out with my friend from middle school, (Alivia Padilla), she’s an assistant coach now, and she was motivating me even when we weren’t playing. I always wanted to be like her so I would practice in my backyard and whenever we had a scrimmage, I would try my hardest. But junior year, we started playing and I started playing seriously.”

Ever since, she’s been a natural. Gurten got off to an amazing start, scoring 55 goals during her inaugural season playing the sport. This year, she’s added 48 to give her 103 goals and counting.

“It means so much to get this,” she said. “It’s a team thing. We have a very good team.”

And one of her teammates is very close to her.

On the same day Gurten netted her 100th goal, one of her teammates scored her first career goal. That was her younger sister Charlotte, who also plays soccer. For Gurten, it was just as exciting seeing her sister score as it was for her to hit the century mark.

“She was really hesitant about trying out for soccer but I pushed her,” Gurten said of her younger sister. “Over the summer we practiced and after soccer, she turned out loving it. I told her she’d love lacrosse, too, and it’s the same team a lot of the girls. She was hesitant, I pushed her to keep going. Her looking up to me motivates me because I want to set a good example and show her that hard work pays off in the end.”

Her sister is a quick learner.

Not only did she score in the game, she provided a helper on Gurten’s milestone goal. Gurten returned the favor by picking up an assist on her sister’s first tally.

This shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Sports have always been a family affair for the Gurtens. While the daughters are playing, mom Kathleen is at every game she’s able to make, cheering her team on. While she’s doing that, Gurten’s grandmom Frances McGoldrick serves as the team’s unofficial photographer, capturing all the great moments.

The support isn’t new.

According to Gurten, her mom and grandmom have been huge throughout her athletic career. And while she’s enjoying a great lacrosse career, Gurten is a soccer player first.

“Soccer, I played for a bunch of clubs, but now I just play for the school,” said Gurten, who works in food services at the Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity. “I’m mostly (an offensive player) in lacrosse, but in soccer, I played everywhere, defense, midfield, wherever they put me I played. I’m a player who will go where you need me to play. That’s where I’ll play, whatever is best for the team.

“I try to be a good leader for everyone and by playing anywhere, I think that helps. It shows that I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the team. We have a lot of girls like that. We have a really good team, and we’re starting to come together. When you’re in the playoffs, every game could be your last, so you don’t want to lose. You don’t want that to be the end.”

While Gurten’s high school career is rapidly coming to an end, she has fun times in her future. Next year she’s bound for West Chester, where she will major in pre-physical therapy.

“I really want to be involved with sports and make a good amount of money,” she said “I can later on, choose to be on the sports side of it, and help athletes. I’ll always help people, but I want to be involved in sports. I always wanted to be a soccer star, but reality hit in middle school. This way, I can still be involved with sports.”

And while she’s looking forward to the next step, she’ll always remember lessons learned and the fun she experienced at New Foundations.

“I really love our school,” said Gurten, who will come back to watch her sister and her former teammates play. “They put students first, there was never a time I ever questioned, ‘Can I talk to my coach or teacher.’ They’re always willing to put students first. Always helping with anything, homework, trouble on the field, they’ll tell you what to improve on. But I’ll be back to see how they do.”
