This story is a part of an ongoing series about the effect of methadone treatments on in-dividuals and the neighborhood. Two brawling women crashed through the glass window at the Penn Lib-erty Real Estate office on Marshall Street at Girard Avenue one October after-noon. Owner Ray Caceras knew it was people from a nearby methadone clinic. He also knew he would have to pay for the repairs. But one day last week, one of the women, Stacy, whose last name we are omitting to protect her privacy, showed up at the Penn Liberty door to apol-ogize to Caceras. “I just need you to know that I didn’t start that fight

by Bob Stewart that day,” Stacy told Cac-eras. “I was punched right there. But I will help you pay for it.” Caceras wants Stacy to pay her half of the dam-ages. Stacy, who is on a tight budget while receiv-ing Supplemental Security Income (SSI), has agreed to pay Caceras back in monthly installments taken from her welfare checks. While acknowledging her duties to pay Caceras back for his broken window, Stacy also had advice for the realtor. “[At] any other of these stores, if we [were] to hit a window, your window is supposed to spider-web,” Stacy said, in reference to shatter-proof glass that some storefronts have. “So it’s my fault?” Car-ceras asked. “No, what I’m saying is these ain’t the right win-

dows to be in the front,” Stacy said. “I’m not worried about that ,” Caceras sa id . “What’s not going to hap-pen is people fighting and coming through my win-dow.” Caceras said the situation is far from unique. According to Carceras, business owners in the area struggle with methadone clinic clients and, what they believe to be, drug dealers each day. They hang out near Fresh Do-nuts (630 W. Girard Ave.), right on the outskirts of Northern Liberties. The Goldman Clinic, one of the clinics in the area that provides methadone, is located a block away at 8th and Girard. According to Carceras, the situation makes it dif-ficult to sell and rent prop-erty. see CLINIC on page 4

“Folks just say, ‘No, man, you got drug dealers out here,” Carceras said.

After half a year of renovation, the Center opened its doors in Janu-ary of 2008. “They started out in a virtually abandoned, beat up building.” State Representative John Taylor said. “It was great for the community

NOBODY BEATS A DIAMOND DEAL!

It’s not often I get emails from strangers asking me if I’d like to meet them for coffee, but that’s how I met Kentucky Connie. I’m not one to become suspicious when something like this happens, although some people might ask, “Is there a secret agenda here, or are they looking to put something in your Hazel-nut coffee when your back is turned?” Connie felt good about emailing me because, as she told me later, we both write for The Huffington Post. In her email to me she explained that she had read a book review I did on UFO investigators. “I know somebody who’s met ETs,” she wrote. “I’ve written about these people, and I could introduce you to a couple of them. Since we both live in Philadel-phia, let’s have coffee.” For months I put the offer on the back burner. Was I in the mood to talk about UFOs? There’s so much bogus UFO information

it’s sometimes difficult to discern truth from gar-bage. I was at least grateful that she wanted to meet for coffee and wasn’t sending me an unpublished book manuscript, which some-times happens when you’re a newspaper columnist. I cannot explain why some people mistake journalists for publishers. I thanked Connie for writ-ing and stated, “Sure, cof-fee sounds great. Maybe in a few weeks,” etc. etc. My message was ambiguous at best. The word ‘maybe’ showed my indecision but I figured if she was really serious about coffee she’d email me again. Additional emails from Connie trickled through. “Hey, what about that cof-fee-- let me know…” Something was holding me back, but I did man-age to write, “Soon, really soon, right after I get this project out,” but the truth is that I was skeptical. I still wasn’t in the mood for ETs. I was also a little afraid that Connie would prove to be a total crackpot. Crackpots, after all, are

like psychic vampires: they drain your energy. I checked Connie’s web-site, and was startled to see that she looked like a Hollywood actress: Long flowing blonde hair, an-gular face, blue eyes, and a wide charismatic smile. “She looks like a movie star,” I told a friend. “Is this the face of a crackpot?” Her online bio contained a lot of information about her experiences as a televi-sion reporter in a major Florida market. Finally, the day came when we agreed to meet

at a coffee house on Rit-tenhouse Square. Connie said I’d know who she was because of her long blonde hair. She was right. Among the latte sipping crowd I spot-ted a glamorous blonde, hair in her face as she fiddled with her I phone. At a nearby table I also noticed a middle aged man staring at her intently, and at another table a much younger man was sizing her up much the same way a hungry lion examines its prey. We touched on many

subjects that day: psychic phenomena, astral projec-tion, exorcisms, demonic possession, ghosts and dreams. We talked about Whitley Strieber’s Com-munion, about Temple University professor and UFO expert, Dr. David Jacobs, and many other subjects. Here’s a sample of what Dr. Jacobs, author of sev-eral books on UFOs and aliens, told a journalist about why “they” are here. “… The program ulti-mately is not abducting people. Abductions, you have to remember, are a means to an end. They’re abducting people for a purpose, for a reason. The physical act of abducting people, which is the abduc-tion phenomenon, really is only part of the program… here is an abduction pro-gram, a breeding program, which accounts for all the reproductive activity that we see, and a hybridiza-tion program, which is why people see hybrids all the time--as babies, as toddlers, as adolescents, and then as adults…”. After two coffees, Connie said she’d arrange a get together with a woman who claims that she has been in touch with ETs for many years, but before we parted, I said I wasn’t all that certain that ETs exist. “ET’s could be many things: beings from anoth-er dimension; the products of mass hallucination.” I told her that St. Martin of Tours and a monk/ theo-logian named Seraphim Rose wrote that the so called beings from UFOs are actually demons. I explained how re-nowned Swiss psycholo-gist C.G. Jung, in his 1959 book, “Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies,” thought that the phenomena was primarily something psy-chological and religious in meaning or not “objective reality.” “Even UFO investiga-tor Brad Steiger believes that the world is dealing with a multi-dimensional paraphysical phenomenon, largely indigenous to plan-et earth,” I said. Yet despite my skepticism, I was curious to meet this friend of Connie’s who claims to have met and spoken with these aliens from another world. On the appointed eve-ning, I traveled to Connie’s Rittenhouse Square apart-ment and was introduced to Nevada, a smallish, vi-brant looking woman of about 70 years of age with short hair, bright eyes and

an engaging smile. Nevada was busy spicing up din-ner–spaghetti and meat-balls– but took time out to shake my hand. As I looked into Nevada’s eyes, I searched for traces of alien remnants, a light, some kind of spark that told me that she was different for having been “marked” by these elongated beings, some of whom are called “Grays”. Some are called other names while others look perfectly human and are able to walk among us as “regular people.” I wanted to hear Nevada’s story, but first Connie cre-ated a comic atmosphere by telling us what it was like living on “Ratinhouse Square,” a name she thought up because she swore there wasn’t a time she walked through the Square when she didn’t see a rat. She said her other name for the Square, Rittenhouse Dog Square, was appropriate because the park was nothing but a glorified dog park. From her bird’s-eye fifth-floor view of the place she told us how she would con-stantly witness people put-ting blankets on the grass to have a picnic. As soon as they left that same spot of grass was used as a toilet by many different types of dogs. It didn’t end there, of course, because as soon as the dogs left more people would come and spread their blankets right over the same poop-y spot. While the three of us shared a good laugh, I got to wondering whether aliens have a sense of hu-mor. When they reach out and touch you with their long arms, their eyes bulging, do they sometimes giggle, or is everything a solemn under-taking? Nevada certainly had a sense of humor, but she was completely serious when she told us stories about her experi-ences in spaceships, what they looked like and how they acted, and about the about time when she gave one a kick because he was examining her too aggres-sively. I can’t imagine kicking an alien, but there it was. That was three months ago. Today Connie lives in her home state of Ken-tucky. She is busy settling into a new job in broad-casting while Nevada has promised me more true Visitor stories around homemade platters of spa-ghetti and meatballs. Demons or aliens, it may all amount to the same thing… •

Garrison’s Grocery has chosen the name Liberty for the name of our loyalty card because it is the first word in American consciousness. It was first made to mean something here in America. Liberty achieved independence and it made a nation. It was the word with which the American colonies electrified the world. It had been a dream despaired of elsewhere. Here it was realized. The soldiers of Rochambeau and the sailors of De Grasse and the soldiers of Burgoyne and Cornwallis went back to Europe to tell that Liberty was a fact in a new land and people everywhere have been freer since that day. This nation owes its existence to the desire for Liberty and it will maintain itself by that desire. So we chose Liberty for the name of the new loyalty card, Liberty because it is the last thing the true American possesses even if he is stripped of everything else.

Liberty is the innate, inherent principle of American life.

Girard, which shares a parking lot with Fresh Do-nuts. “They would literally make drug transactions right in this parking lot,” Bird said. “[On] day one . . . I said...‘Listen, today’s your last day. From this point on I’m the new owner,” Bird said. Cultured Couture (703 W.

there’s just a bad energy out there.” Ron Pope, director of the Goldman Clinic, said he understands local business owners’ situations but is not ready to accept all of the blame. He maintains that not all of the people out there are Goldman clients. “There are Philadel-phians that are walking up Girard Avenue, there are other people [from] other clinics ... and then there are predatory people who are coming through here,” said Pope. “They’re not all Goldman clients and there’s some perception that they are.” Pope and his team point to their community out-reach programs as evi-

dence that they do care. “We work with the 26th [Police] District’s Advisory Council (PDAC),” Pope said. “We had two meet-and-greet meetings with the community.” Pope said the clinic or-ganized two community clean-ups. Their clients who needed to do commu-nity service received cer-tificates. The area cleaned was Girard Avenue from 8th to 6th Streets. “I know we’re going to continue to do that,” Pope said. But people like Cac-eras and Bird want more done and a local politician agrees. Bird said Goldman is actually obligated to do

more. “You can’t just dump them on the street,” said State Representative Cur-tis Thomas (181st District). “You can’t just give them methadone and expect ev-erybody to do what they’re supposed to do.” Thomas cites a potential crime situation where the clinic’s clients congregate. The loitering group can be a prime target for drug dealers. Thomas also notes that some clients sell their prescribed amounts of methadone, only to use a loophole to receive more. “If you ... call the po-lice and say ‘somebody took my methadone’ and the police make a report, you can use that report to get more methadone,” Thomas said. The potential risk for that is even greater over holidays when the clinic closes. Take home doses are normally reserved for clients who meet certain criteria. Because of the planned closure people who otherwise would not receive a take home dose do. More take home doses means that there are more opportunities to take ad-vantage of this loophole.Pope said that rarely hap-pens. “If a person goes to the police and reports it that kind of legitimizes it,” Pope said. “But we get very few of those.” Pope said the police and local businesses have his number. He’ll check out the situation but, due to the Health Insurance Por-tability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy laws, he is not allowed to ac-knowledge if the person causing an issue is a client. “The HIPAA laws are serious,” Pope said. Thomas is looking at laws too. “One of the policy issues that I’m looking at is to amend all of these clin-ic contracts and require [them] to provide ... more support services,” Thomas said. “You’ve got to have something for them to do; recreation, work, or study. Something.” After receiving their methadone many clients end up at the Ramonita de Rodriguez Branch of the Free Library of Phila-delphia. “Some of them go in the library and do research and keep themselves busy,” Thomas said. “[But] a lot of them are just sitting in there.” Lisa Chianese-Lopez manages the branch. She tries to help folks who come in no matter what their situation. But there are limits. “A lot of times they want to go on the computer, which is fine,” Chianese-

Lopez said. “But other times they sit in and doze off. We can’t allow that.” The Free Library of Phil-adelphia sets standards of acceptable behavior. Sleep-ing is not permitted. Stacy doesn’t spend all of her time grappling with others– most days she uses the library’s services to overcome her dyslexia. “The lady at the library gets a CD and she puts the stuff on the [the screen],” Stacy said. “So I can read and I’m trying to memo-rize words.” She said she’s embar-rassed about the fight. But the interaction with other

Methadonecontinued from page 4

methadone users between the clinic and the library is difficult to avoid. “We’re addicts and this is all we got,” Stacy said. “This is the life that we’re used to.”•

Calling all good samari-tans in the River Ward communities– be on the lookout for 100 lost wallets strewn across the neighbor-hood bearing the Phila-delphia Federal Credit Union logo. If you stumble across one of these orange billfolds, open it up and find the PFCU-branded coupon inside thanking you for picking up the “lost wallet.” You may then keep the wallet as a gift and bring the coupon into the Dauphin Street Branch. “We’re dropping wallets with coupons in them that offer a $5 deposit into a new account when you bring them in,” Kerry Bu-chalski, the teller supervi-sor who came up with the program, said. “We are dropping them around in Fishtown and Northern Liberties. We’re hoping people will read the note, see the offer, bring it in and generate a little buzz.” Once your new account is open your name will be entered into a raffle to

PFCU Starts Good Samaritan Lost Wallet Initiative

win $250. You have until December 31, 2014 to find the lost wallets and bring them to the Credit Union. Katie Kitchenman, Dau-phin branch manager, watched as people picked up wallets as she and Bu-chalski dropped them. “There are good people out there who pick it up, give it a look and make a face when they realize what’s in there,” Kitchen-man said. Some wallets are clev-erly hidden, but many are sitting in plain sight. A few hints: look for them on benches, sidewalks, bike helmets, tables, news-stands, dog parks, etc. PFCU says its lost wallet initiative serves as a small token of appreciation for the community that sup-ports the credit union and demonstrates the their investment in making the neighborhood a better place to live, work and play. PFCU is actively involved in the community, provid-ing financial education classes, shredding events, and acting as corporate

sponsors at events like The Kensington Kinetic Sculp-ture Derby. “We really want people to know that we are here and that we are there for them. Because we are a not-for-profit credit union we’re member owned,” Buchalski said. “We are all about making sure that our members stay financially fit. And it’s fun doing it– we get to know a lot more people in the neighbor-hood and we want them all in here.”•

to have someone in there utilizing that space. But I couldn’t have begun to imagine the impact that that place was eventually going to have.” Aside from the new af-ter-school program that provides transportation for children K-5, Port-side offers a variety of classes and workshops for children and adults of all ages. This includes courses on anything from stop-motion animation to stained glass for high school students. There is also yoga, figure drawing and upholstery for adults. Portside also offers full-day field trips for students on day’s like Columbus Day, when school is not in session. “We’re giving children different ways to learn in what is otherwise a one size fits all education sys-tem,” Jenna Wilchinsky, the Center’s Assistant Director, said. “What the schools aren’t giving kids when they’re not exposed

to art from a young age is the tactile learning expe-rience. Arts education is a therapy and a learning tool for kids who can’t learn in other ways.” Everyone involved at the center is committed to the idea of not only the value of art, but also providing an alternative method for children to become part of a community. “Children come to Port-side for more than art,” Taylor said. “Art is a way they feel included, they feel accepted, they have a sense of accomplishment where in other worlds they do not.” If on Friday, November 14 you’re looking to feel some acceptance, come to Voice Of The Arts Awards – Dance Benefit.

In recognition of their efforts to improve, em-power and transform their communities, Health Part-ners Plans and the Health Partners Foundation held its12th Annual Making a Difference Awards ceremony to honor local individuals and organizations whose work is having a lasting impact in the community. This year’s theme, “Dream Catchers,” shed light on those who are helping to make dreams a reality. WDAS FM radio personal-ity Patty Jackson served as the evening’s emcee. Philadelphia Inquirer Food Editor Maureen Fitzgerald received the Partners Award for starting “My Daughter’s Kitchen,” which teaches children in 10 (soon to be 15) Philadelphia schools how to cook healthy, inex-pensive meals while learn-ing the value of good nutri-tion and teamwork. The One Less Foundation was this year’s Making a Difference Award recip-ient, for providing financial education and personal mentoring to individuals and families to help them break the cycle of poverty. The One Less philosophy is that teaching the basics of money management and personal development promotes economic well-being that can extend into future generations.

Health Partners Foundation Shines Light on Unsung Leaders

Jules E. Mastbaum Area Vocat ional Technical School senior Musa Kon-neh received the Junior Partners Award in rec-ognition of his academic record, outstanding com-munity service and efforts to build disease awareness. One of Musa’s more no-table community contribu-

tions is helping to provide meals for families of trans-plant patients at the Gift of Life Family House. “The Making a Difference Awards ceremony allows us to highlight extraordi-nary people and organiza-tions that are committed to building better com-munities,” said William

S. George, Health Part-ners Plans president and CEO and Health Partners Foundation Chairman. “It is an honor to pay tribute to these “dream catchers.” We are proud to call them partners in making posi-tive changes and creating brighter futures for the communities we serve.”

At the reception, George a l so announced that Health Partners Plans se-nior vice president of busi-ness development Lovell Harmon will assume the role of the Foundation’s new president, replacing, Judy Harrington, who re-tired from Health Partners Plans last spring. •

A Wonderful Send-Off

“Wow”. What a send-off. Even the angels said “there’s a traffic jam at Holy Name Church” on Saturday, November 8. Then one of the angels said, “oh that’s Pat West-field from Fishtown, you know, the butterfly, that’s her, there and everywhere. I can’t wait to meet her.” Prepare to be amazed. She sure was a beauti-ful butterfly.

June Boback,A friend and neighbor

Support The Animals

So many people in Fishtown have animals. I think it would be a great idea if everyone would donate a bag of food to our local Penn-sylvania SPCA on Erie Avenue. What a great gift that would be for Christmas for our best friends in the shelter. Please “adopt”.

Blessings,June Boback

There are a handful of things I’d say are worth making at home: a big batch of chicken stock to freeze in smaller incre-ments; mayonnaise, as it’s noticeably tastier and lighter than the stuff in the jar; and salad dressing, because it’s as easy as add-ing fresh herbs and dijon to oil and vinegar. I like spending hours in the kitchen and making a giant mess while producing semi-complicated things I could easily pick up at the grocery store. Still, there are recipes I know better than to attempt: puff pas-try, because the one time I did make it I was sore for

days from rolling the but-tery dough over and over; spanakopita or baklava, since I’m hopelessly clumsy with Phyllo dough; and any recipe that should have come from a nonna, like tomato sauce, red sauce, or gravy. I’m sure my Italian friends will shudder, but I always go for the store-bought, jarred sauce. The closest I get to home-made tomato sauce is this buttery, garlic infused roasted sauce that will make your house smell like an Italian restaurant. Time to break out your red and white checkered tablecloth.Pasta with Butter-RoastedTomato SauceFrom Bon Appétit Maga-zine

1-28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes8 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed2 anchovy fillets packed in oil¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for serving

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper1 lb. long noodles, like bu-catini or spaghetti (I used fusilli col buco, long curly noodles)Finely grated Parmesan, for serving

Preheat oven to 425 de-grees. Combine tomatoes

(crushing them with your hands), garlic, anchovies, butter, and red pepper flakes in a 13” x 9” bak-ing dish; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until garlic is very soft and mixture is jammy, about 40 minutes. Using a potato masher or fork, mash to break up garlic and toma-toes. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserv-ing ½ cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot and add tomato sauce and pasta cooking liquid. Cook over medium-high heat, tossing until sauce coats pasta, about 3 minutes. Serve topped with Parme-san and more red pepper flakes. This was one of those recipes that triggered sali-vation at the mere sight of

the accompanying photo in the magazine. After mak-ing it dozens of times and not tiring of it, I always make sure to have the in-gredients on hand. Canned tomatoes are relatively bland alone, but baked to-gether with whole cloves of garlic and briny anchovies they become a powerful force. The ingredients es-sentially melt as they bake in the tangy, hand-crushed tomatoes which sweeten as they cook. The butter adds a silky effect to the end result. The crowning moment of adding the al dente pasta back to the pot to finish cooking with its salted, starchy, water and the completed sauce takes this recipe over the top. It may not take hours and isn’t one of nonna’s finest recipes, but this butter-roasted tomato sauce sure beats the jarred stuff.•

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21

Some colleagues may want to goof off all week long and get nothing accomplished, Gemini. But you have other goals and know some hard work now means fun later.

Libra, it is impossible to postpone a commitment any longer. It may not seem like the right time just yet, but you need to forge ahead anyway and handle things as they come.

SCORPIOOct 24/Nov 22

It is easy to feel burnt out before you achieve a goal, Scorpio. You just need to learn how to pace yourself a little better and to ignore distractions that result in delays.

AQUARIUSJan 21/Feb 18

OBITUARIES

Corazon, Inc., a national leader in services for the cardiovascular specialty based in Pittsburgh, has granted accreditation to the PCI [angioplasty] pro-gram at Nazareth Hospi-tal. Through a rigorous process, the accreditation proves that the program at Nazareth Hospital has met or exceeded the require-ments established by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH), in accordance with the proce-dures finalized in January of 2014, such as providing 24-hour coverage for PCI emergencies, undergoing detailed quarterly quality reviews to ensure outcomes and practices are up to standard, and other such factors. Nazareth Hospital serves Northeast Philadelphia with a comprehensive con-tinuum of heart care that includes advanced diag-nostics, interventional ex-pertise, acute care, rehabil-itation and more. Nazareth is currently participating in a LIFENET pilot program with local EMS providers; LIFENET enables para-

Nazareth Hospital Receives PCI Program Accreditation from Corazon and the Pennsylvania Department of Health

medics in the field to alert hospital care teams and provide them with critical patient data so they can quickly identify STEMI patients, determine where to route them for care, and have staff prepared before the patient arrives, reducing time to treatment. Nazareth Hospital began offering emergency angio-plasty in 2011 through the hospital’s participation in the Atlantic Cardiovas-cular Patient Outcomes Research Team (C-PORT) Registry. The Hospital is nationally accredited by The Joint Commission for Heart Failure Care and has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guideline Gold Plus Award for Heart Fail-ure in 2014 and in previous years. Corazon also offers con-sulting, recruitment, in-terim management, and IT solutions for the heart, vascular, neuroscience, and orthopedic specialties.
