Donation by Flyers will help Philabundance feed the needy By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

T

here won’t be any hockey for a while, but that didn’t stop the Philadelphia Flyers from making a big play at a crucial

time. Last week, Flyers Charities donated $250,000 to Philabundance to fight hunger across the Delaware Valley. The donation will allow Philabundance, one of the largest hunger relief organizations in the area, to feed 160,000 people struggling with food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Philabundance is located at Galloway Street and Pattison Avenue and serves more than 90,000 people each week, ranging from children to seniors. Last year, it distributed more than 26 million pounds of food through a network of 400 partners, and partnerships with hospitals, schools, libraries and other service providers. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided another challenge. “Prior to COVID-19, approximately 700,000 people across our nine-county service area went to bed at night not knowing where their next meal would come from,” said Sara Hertz, chief development officer at Philabundance. “Several weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, that number is steadily increasing.” The Flyers’ generous donation, along with a $250,000 donation from See PHILABUNDANCE, page 12>>

Palumbo’s Tailey won’t get to run this spring, but has left her mark By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

T

he bruises on Ivelle Tailey’s knees were a reminder of how tough a new challenge can be. The senior track star at the Academy at Palumbo was always a fast runner growing up. But to be the best at something, Tailey knew she was going to push herself harder and attempt new challenges. “I was trying different events and running the 200 (-meter sprint), but nothing was really clicking for me,” Tailey said. “During my sophomore year, Coach (Rashida Stamps) told me to try hurdles and I got the hang of it pretty quick. But I was scared at first.” And with good reason. Trial doesn’t usually come without error, and Tailey had her fair share of battles with leaping over the waist-high obstacles at full speed. “I didn’t fall, but I kept hitting my knee on the hurdles and I would get bruises,” she said. “But I didn’t want to stop. I was like, ‘I can do this.’ ” Not only did she finish every race, Tailey now holds the school record in the 100-meter and 300-meter hurdle events as well as a share in the school’s 4x100 relay record. She was the Philadelphia Public League champion in the 100 hurdles last year and made her first appearance at the PIAA state championships. “She took on hurdles as a personal challenge,” Stamps said. “Before her, we never really had any hurdlers. She’s made me a better coach, as she and I kind of learned by working together.

Inspirational parents Naomi Tailey, left, wife of Navy Lt. Cmdr. Prince Tailey, right, pins a gold oak leaf to her husband’s jacket during a promotion ceremony in his honor Nov. 22, 2019, in Philadelphia. The parents of Academy at Palumbo senior Ivelle Tailey left war-torn Liberia as young adults to start a new life.

The impact he’s made on me as a coach will last forever.” Tailey’s toughness and her determination isn’t hard to trace. Her parents fled the bloodshed and destruction of the civil wartorn West African nation of Liberia as young adults to start a new life, while leaving everything else behind. Her father, Prince, was 19 at the time and arrived first in the U.S. via a green card lottery and joined the military. He then brought Ivelle’s mother and older brother to the U.S. to reunite the family. Ivelle was born shortly after. “I come from a strong household that is very hard-working,” Tailey said. “They came here from nothing and made something.” Her father was commissioned into the Navy’s Medical Services Corps after 10 years of enlisted service in the Marine Corps. Last year, Tailey was promoted to Navy lieutenant commander at the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support in Philadelphia, where he serves as the Customer Electronic Catalogue/Medical Surgical Operations Center branch chief for DLA Troop Support’s medical supply chain. Her mother, Naomi, is a nurse, and is extremely inspirational in Ivelle’s future path of pursuing medicine. Ivelle wants to study biology in college and hopes to be an osteopathic doctor working in alternative medicine. In a time when the world is crippled by an infectious disease, Tailey wants to be nowhere else but the front lines. “This crisis came up and if you want to be a doctor, you’re going to be on the front lines,” Tailey said. “It made me think that when I reach that point, I’m going to be able to be out there and help make a difference. Doctors and nurses are putting it all out there right now.” She draws her courage from her mother. “She always supports me and encourages me,” Ivelle said. “My parents are very inspiring. There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to accomplish what I want to accomplish because I have all the resources that they didn’t have.” And she’s taken advantage of her opportunity. Ivelle has a 4.0 grade point average and is a member of National Honor Society and student government at the Academy at Palumbo. She also helped launch a mentoring program with a few of her classmates called “Mentor Me,” which helps younger students navigate the process of applying for colleges. “When we got to senior year, a lot of our friends were feeling overwhelmed with the whole college application process,” she said. “They felt like they couldn’t find much advice before they got to senior year. We had been through it and we felt like we could start a club to help younger students like freshmen and sophomores to get advice from juniors or seniors. We can all feel more prepared when we get to senior year.” Tailey is still weighing her options on which school to attend next year, but she knows running will likely not be a part of her college experience, due to the high work demand of her major. Losing her entire senior high school spring track season to the COVID-19 pandemic made that realization all the more heartbreaking. “I was really upset because we’ve been working hard,” Tailey said. “I did what I wanted during indoor season, dropping my times. I thought when I got to outdoor season I was really going to do what I wanted to do. I was going to make it to states

I’m devastated that I don’t get to meet those goals.” Tailey has left her mark in the record books and on the program for future generations. “She’s probably the most remarkable athlete we’ve had in terms of commitment and dedication,” Stamps said. “She’s the earmark of our program. She’s that special.”

South Philly residents create impromptu face mask donation organization

A group of South Philly residents who met online have banded together to start a volunteer mask making and delivery organization. By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

“No one ever accomplished anything great sitting down,” said Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space, in his 2013 book, An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth. But a group of South Philly do-gooders started out that way, at the very least. Bella Vista resident Eugene Desyatnik and Graduate Hospital resident Nicole Jochym, who met virtually on the Philly Area Abolish COVID Facebook group, have banded together to start an impromptu volunteer organization dedicated to making and delivering face masks to essential workers, health care workers and, well, pretty much anybody who needs one. The idea came to Desyatnik on Day 3 of the city’s stay-at-home order. “I said it seems like the most productive thing to do is to create a way that people can help from home,” said Desyatnik. “Let’s actually try to organize some people.” Desyatnik and Jochym started their own Facebook page, Sew Face Masks Philly, as an offshoot from the COVID page. At the time, the CDC had yet to recommend wearing face masks to people veering out into public, saying that instead they should be reserved for healthcare workers. But Desyatnik said they started making them anyway, anticipating that recommendation would change, which it eventually did.

“None of us thought the guidance the CDC was putting out at the time made any sense,” said Desyatnik. “We’re glad to see that it’s since been embraced. But that has created unprecedented demand for face masks.” In addition to the Facebook group, the volunteer organization created its own website, sewfacemasksphilly.com. The website’s homepage has a “donate masks” option and “request masks” options. The group accepts all types of masks, but if you decide to sew your own, it recommends three specific types of patterns: the Todaro Philly Face Mask, the RCoA Face Mask and the beginner-friendly Leah Day Face Mask. Links to YouTube videos providing tutorials on how to make each are provided on the website. Those requesting masks can request via an online form on the website. The organization just started accepting online donations on its website as well. “They’ll go to paying delivery drivers and creating safe mask-making kits, which will include all the pre-cut fabric and the materials,” said Jochym, who’s also a medical student at Rowan University’s Cooper Medical School in Camden. That’s right, the organization even has delivery drivers. About 12 of them, in fact. They’ll pick up or deliver masks anywhere within a 25-mile radius from Center City. The distribution side of the organization is run by a Point Breeze resident called Alex, who didn’t want to provide his last name.

“It’s fairly straightforward,” said Alex. “People put in requests for masks and they put in their donations of handmade face masks. Drivers reach out to the suppliers to pick up the mask and we sanitize them. [All drivers] must have gloves, masks and bleach spray. Then we put them in another sanitized bag, then drop them off to [the recipient].” All the pickups and deliveries are contactless, and to date, more than 2,300 masks have been provided by the organization - despite some issues with Facebook. “Some of our posts were auto-flagged by Facebook because they went against community guidelines for community goods,” said Jochym. “We were like, oh God, we should be proactive about this because we could wake up and have our group deleted.” According to a statement by Facebook in a New York Times article, automated systems de-

signed to prevent the sale of medical masks needed by health workers wound up “inadvertently block[ing] some efforts to donate supplies.” Desyatnik picked up on the fact that posts were often removed when they contained the word “mask” and “buy” or something similar. He said that “m@sk” was often used instead of “mask” in an effort to “outsmart the bots.” “We do have a website, but most of the communication happens on Facebook,” said Desyatnik, who noted that the group mostly has things under control now that they’ve figured out why posts were getting deleted. He said the group felt it was important that people post on Facebook about receiving or making their mask. “Those posts are important for us,” he said. “It’s a morale booster encouraging people to post their finished product. It’s a sense of accomplishment.”

EDITORIAL CARTOON

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let’s hope for a quick solution Tom Cardella’s column (“The Other Lost Easter,” April 7) brought back searing memories of my own childhood encounters with infectious diseases, especially scarlet fever - a bacterial infection that starts in the throat. I bet we were part of the same epidemic in the late 1940s. In my case, however, I shared the disease with my twin brother, Danny. In the days when doctors made house calls, my brother felt ill with a fever, so Mommy called the doctor. Meanwhile, I started to feel warm with a strong malaise, so I lay down in another bedroom on the same floor. The doctor saw me as he passed on his way to examine my brother. I recall him saying, ”I think we should check her, too.” He found us both with symptoms of scarlet fever and summoned an ambulance. The attendants considered this disease so infectious that they carried us out wrapped in blankets from head to toe like little mummies. I could not see anything because my eyes were covered. I just remember being placed on some kind of stretcher inside the ambulance. I felt carsick and regurgitated a bit as we traveled to a special hospital for contagious diseases. They did not have the antibiotics to fight it then, so quarantining was the only treatment. Now in those days, other than house phones attached to a base with a cord, there were few other ways to communicate (telegram or telegraph, maybe). Rather than try to call the

factory, Mommy decided to wait until Daddy came home. So, while all this was going on at home, Daddy was busy at work at Nice Ball Bearing Factory, oblivious that his children were infected with a serious communicable disease. It so happened that he arrived home from work just as his twins, all swaddled in blankets, were being loaded into an ambulance. I cannot imagine his shock. For a moment, he was not sure if we were dead or alive. Soon we arrived at the hospital where we were separated. Danny was put in a ward with all boys and I was taken to the girls’ ward. I can still picture this large room with cribs lining the walls. We had to remain in those cribs throughout our stay. I just recall feeling totally miserable the whole time with nothing to distract me except maybe calling out to my fellow sufferers. Unlike Tom, I do not remember what time of year it was. I think I would have recalled if a holiday like Easter were ruined. I certainly remember all the new clothes we bought each spring along with the Easter baskets. As Tom says, tradition was a huge part of our daily lives. But sickness has no respect for tradition or holidays. I am just glad that those traumatic illnesses of childhood did not last long. Other than unpleasant memories of a rash, scarlet fever left no physical scars. And it finally became controllable with antibiotics. Let’s continue to pray that science also finds a quick solution to the present crisis. Gloria C. Endres

Man dead after police-involved shooting in Grays Ferry By Mark Zimmaro South Philly Review

Two officers from the 17th District were involved in a deadly shooting that occurred on the 1500 block of S. Bailey Street in the Grays Ferry neighborhood early Friday morning. According to police, the two officers, who were operating separate patrol cars, responded to a report of gunshots in the area at 12:01 a.m. Two minutes later, an additional call was reported, indicating more gunshots were heard from the rear of Bailey Street, police said. The two police officers entered the rear alley from the north side of Bailey Street and began surveying the alley to investigate the gunshots and observed two individuals outside the rear of the property, police said. Officers removed a piece of plywood, which served as a gate to the yard and found a 22-year-old female and a 33-year-old male, police said. According to police, the female pointed her weapon at the officers and, in response, both officers discharged their weapons, striking both the female and male, who then fled inside the residence through the rear kitchen door. It was unclear whether the female fired her weapon at the officers. Both officers pursued the two suspects inside the house. The female discarded her weapon underneath the kitchen table and was apprehended by police. The male fell to the floor in the living room

and was also apprehended, police said. Both were transported by police to Penn Presbyterian Hospital for their injuries. The woman suffered gunshot wounds to her left thigh, left hip and left buttocks and was admitted in stable condition, police said. The male was shot in the abdomen and was pronounced dead at 1:42 a.m., according to police. There were no other reported injuries to police or witnesses. According to police, multiple firearms were recovered from the scene, including a .380 caliber firearm near the area where the male was apprehended in the living room. Police also recovered one shotgun, one semi automatic .45 caliber handgun, one .38 caliber revolver, one .22 caliber rifle, multiple fired shotgun shells, multiple fired cartridge casings and multiple live rounds of ammunition. “The use of deadly force is the most serious action that police officers are empowered to undertake,� said Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw. “While no police officer begins his or her tour expecting to discharge their firearm, that decision must sometimes be made at a moment’s notice. These situations are often tragic; particularly when they result in the loss of life. As is the case with all officer-involved shootings, we will ensure that a thorough, complete and objective investigation is conducted.�

Longtime business owners giving away free milk on Saturday

FILE PHOTO

Ricky, left, and Ralph Sciulli share an afternoon laugh in 2017 while reflecting on the last 50 years in business together. By Mark Zimmaro SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

Ralph and Rickey Sciulli are just hoping to make a small impact on the local community they’ve been a part of most of their lives. As South Philadelphia business owners for more than 50 years, the two brothers will be giving away 100 free gallons of milk on Saturday to help families navigate the tough economic times that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the area. “We decided it’s the best thing for the children,” said Rickey Sciulli. “We’re just hoping to see a few smiles. I think we will.” Milk will be available at the Double-0-Seven convenience store at the corner of 7th Street and Oregon Avenue on Saturday starting at 1 p.m. until supplies run out. The Sciulli brothers have owned the small store for about 36 years but they began their business together by opening a pizza shop at Taney and Tasker streets almost exactly 53 years ago. Friday is the anniversary of the original business venture, according to Rickey Sciulli. He was 12 years old when he came to the United States from Italy with Ralph, who was 15 at the time. It didn’t take long for them to start running a business. “We’ve been in South Philly a long time,”

Rickey said proudly. “A lot of people know us here. And I’m going to die in South Philly.” Rickey said the milk supplier discounted prices by a dollar a gallon to help make the donation more affordable for the business owners. The delivery is set to come in on Friday and they’ll begin handing out 1 gallon per family on Saturday. They will use precautions in relation to social distancing, as they are asking residents to wait outside 6 feet apart until there is room in the store for shoppers. “Keep a distance from others,” he said. “When they come in the front of the store, Ralph and Rickey will be handing out gallons of milk. We’re just asking that people please respect one another and try to keep the right distance.” It’s not the first time the two brothers attempted to help out the community. Rickey said in 1983, they used their pizza shop to help out residents. “Back in 1983 when things were pretty rough, we’d sell pizzas for $3,” he recalled. “People would buy two pizzas. One for Wednesday and one for Friday. People went crazy for it. They used to line up outside.” This time, it’s just about getting the necessities in the right hands. “We just want to give back with this kind of crisis,” Sciulli said. “Hopefully, it helps.”

BRIEFS

Write notes to the isolated homebound Caring for Friends (formerly Aid for Friends) is inviting the community to provide handwritten “caring notes” for its snack bags, which are filled with nutritious nonperishable items for isolated, homebound, hungry people in the Philadelphia area. The notes can be written on white or brightly colored 4x6-inch note cards using markers or colored pens. Kids who aren’t able to write notes can draw pictures or put stickers on the cards. They can be signed with first names. Use clear, larger-sized print, as some clients may have poor eyesight. Do not make religious, political or controversial references.

Fiedler bill would aid childcare centers State Reps. Elizabeth Fiedler and Mary Jo Daley are introducing legislation to help Pennsylvania’s childcare centers and workers weather the coronavirus crisis. A recent survey found nearly onethird of the 605 childcare providers who serve more than 44,000 children in Pennsylvania would not be able to reopen if their facilities are closed for more than a month. Fiedler, the mother of two young children, said, “Right now to help save lives, we need to stay home if we can. So many working families, including my own, rely on quality childcare in our community to educate and care for our children. We need to act now, so that when our families go back to work, childcare centers and workers will have their doors open, ready to care for our state’s children.” Fiedler and Daley’s plan would provide funding for childcare centers to

Carter Hart adjusting to new routines during break

And he also has the pedigree to give the Flyers an honest chance during a playoff run if and when things resume this spring, or more realistically even summer. Hart’s junior career was one of the best in Canadian Hockey League history, with a career .927 save percentage, and he was the first player to win Goaltender of the Year twice in CHL. He led the Silvertips back to the WHL final in 2018 for the first time in 14 years, while posting a .921 save percentage in the play-

offs during that run. On an even bigger stage, he helped Canada win gold at the World Junior Championships in 2018 with a .930 save percentage. Opponents in that tournament even attempted — and failed — to throw off Hart’s game by interfering with his pregame routine. Picking up on a strategy Finland had tried earlier, Switzerland kept its backup goalie on the ice in pregame to outlast Hart, who, at the time, would stay the longest. The game of chicken lasted four minutes before Hart gave in. He waited for the Swiss goalie to leave, and then re-entered the ice for a few seconds before heading to the locker room. Hart and Team Canada went on to win the game 8-2. Nowadays, his routines are forced to change, at least a little bit. Currently, Hart is home in Sherwood Park, Alberta, working out, waiting out the coronavirus and optimistically anticipating a blip on the NHL radar. “It’s kind of the same thing here with lockdown,” Hart said. “You can’t really do too much. I have a bike in the basement and all my free weights and all my bands that I have to use … My yoga instructor is still doing 1-on-1’s so I’m getting to see her two times a week. But there’s no ice anywhere so we can’t really skate. We just have to maintain our fitness levels off the ice.” Hart’s presence with the Flyers has been uplifting in his first season and a half with the big club. His numbers aren’t overwhelming, but very efficient. The young goaltender has posted a 4026-4 record with a .915 save percentage and a 2.59 goals against average in 74 regular season appearances with the Flyers. He’s yet to play in a postseason game in the NHL, which the Flyers were on pace to accomplish this season. Hart is hoping he still gets a chance to add that to his resume in 2020. “I was definitely excited to play a playoff game hopefully this year,” Hart said. “It’s every kid’s dream to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Hopefully we get that chance coming up, depending on circumstances here.”

f anyone is suited to survive the mundane repetitiveness that these current days present, it might be Carter Hart. The Flyers’ 21-year-old goaltender has built a blossoming career on sticking to routine in the past, and it might be the saving grace to get him through the lingering uncertainty of the NHL’s 2019-20 season. We’ve seen the videos of Hart sitting in the stands at the Wells Fargo Center with his eyes closed, reacting to imaginary shots on net, envisioning them coming off the stick of one of the league’s best snipers, and balling up his fist as he makes each save. His breakfast routine didn’t budge an inch while playing in the Western Hockey League with the Everett Silvertips as a teenager: Eggs, toast and chocolate milk — every day for four straight years. He’s made adjustments to his diet since then, ditching the eggs and chocolate milk for bananas and smoothies while the toast remains a steady contributor. Just before face-off, you can catch Hart squeezing a water bottle and following the drops with his eyes as they fall to the ice in a moment of ultimate focus. Carter Hart is a notable creature of habit. Perhaps it even explains why his numbers at the Wells Fargo Center are so far superior to his performances on the road. To put it into baseball terms, Hart is a fastball hitter. If he knows what’s coming, he’ll make the adjustments and knock it out of the park. However, after the NHL season suspended games a month ago, there’s reason to believe there will be little hope of having anything resembling a normal outcome. A shortened playoff format? Empty-stadium games at a neutral site? Almost immediate playoff hockey after multiple months of inactivity? Hart and others will eventually be facing some

The waiting game: Flyers goalie Carter Hart is adjusting to life as the NHL season remains suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. off-speed stuff, maybe even a Tim Wakefield knuckleball. “You hear a ton of rumors out there,” Hart said on a conference call last week. “But you can’t really know what’s true and what’s not, so I think when the decision comes, us as professional athletes just have to make sure you find a way to stay ready now, and when that time does come, we’re prepared, no matter what kind of format it is.” Hart has the right mentality.

PHILABUNDANCE: Feeds the needy <<Continued from page 1 the Philadelphia 76ers and the Sixers Youth Foundation, have combined for a half-million dollars, which will provide food to 320,000 people in the region. The money from the Flyers’ donation will purchase about 20,000 boxes of provisions, including shelf-stable items like pasta, pasta sauce, peanut butter, rice and beans. Several distribution sites are in South Philly, so a good portion of the food will go to the immediate local community.

“This generous donation will help us purchase shelf-stable and perishable food items, providing meals for thousands of children, families and seniors in need,” Hertz said. “We are beyond grateful for this donation and appreciate the continued support of the Flyers organization.” A list of more than 40 food pickup sites, supported by the city, Share Food Program and Philabundance, are listed on the city’s website. Sites are open from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays and Thursdays, and residents can pick up one box per household. South Philly locations include: Christ Church

Prayer Thank You

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. Neverknowntofail. C.S. NM-00428004
