Kingsway put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They put the hurt on the Deptford Spartans with a sharp 18-4 win. Considering Kingsway has won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday’s blowout was nothing new.

Joey Fanelli looked comfortable as he pitched four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits.

At the plate, Tommy Popoff was incredible, going 2-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and a double. Another player making a difference was Ian Monteith, who scored three runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

Kingsway’s victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-0. As for Deptford, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-7.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Kingsway will take on Lenape at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Kingsway’s pitching crew has only allowed 2.4 runs per game this season, so Lenape’s hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Deptford, they will head out on the road to square off against Haddon Township at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.

The West Philly community gathered Saturday under the protection of a tree older than any of those in attendance, and Krista Nelson played her original song “Malcolm X Park” on her Native Turtle Island flute. Attendees closed their eyes, and could feel the nature that constantly surrounds people, even in the city.

To Nelson, a sixth-generation Lenape grandmother and Lenape language keeper, a land acknowledgment is more than just ticking a box or noting the origins of the Lenape land Philadelphians stand and live on. It’s about understanding the deep history of the Indigenous people and that they are still here with us today.

“The Lenape people saw everything, every being, as kin,” she said. “The trees are kin, the ground is kin, the space that we’re in is a relative. The stones beneath our feet are kin.”

This message is what organizers from Get Fresh Daily, Friends of Malcolm X Park, The Enterprise Center, and Painted Bride Art Center wanted to share with the community of West Philadelphia this Earth Day — green spaces are sacred places of rejuvenation.

Saturday’s programming, which was kicked off by Nelson’s land acknowledgment, was focused on highlighting Indigenous communities and giving them space to tell their stories.

After Nelson called to the five elements — earth, air, fire, water, and space — she began a more interactive portion of the land acknowledgment. Children were offered maracas and bells to play music, and were asked to call out their favorite animals and creatures.

“I like possums,” one of Nelson’s grandchildren called out.

“And rainbow fish,” another child added, providing comic relief.

The interactive and detailed land acknowledgments went on for 30 minutes, discussing Wissahickon Park tours that tend to erase Lenape history, a…

Uncertainty now surrounds the upcoming Perkasie Porchfest live music event, typically held on residents’ front porches throughout the borough after an apparent breakdown in negotiations between event organizers and Perkasie Borough officials late last week.

While organizers and officials issued somewhat conflicting statements regarding what went wrong, one thing is for sure — the May 11 event won’t go on as planned.

Some borough homeowners may independently opt to host bands on May 11, but event organizers seem to be working primarily to connect acts with potential venues located outside of the municipality.

Perkasie officials on Saturday afternoon posted an announcement on the borough’s official Facebook page that suggested Porchfest organizers had withdrawn a necessary special event permit application.

The Perkasie Porchest Facebook page fired off its own statement 20 minutes later accusing the borough of attempting to have the organization scale the event back significantly from what took place last year with fewer vendors, businesses and hosts, plus a much-shorter 4-hour run time.

“We would not budge on so many things being removed,” the Facebook post said. “It was not sustainable for the future.”

The borough’s official post, attributed to mayor Jeff Hollenbach, said the town was making an effort “to address numerous documented public safety concerns from the previous year’s event.

Porchfest organizers Corey and Heather Armideo put out an additional statement Saturday evening laying blame at the…

“The lightweight four has been working really hard since we started winter training,” EHT coach Dan Welsh said. “They’re a very focused group and they know what’s at stake. After winning that silver medal at nationals last year they have that taste of being successful on a national level. My assistant coach, John Pope, works with that crew every day.

“The junior four did well. Since we had an injury in there, today was their (the present lineup) ninth day on the water together. We have one of the best groups of freshmen that we’ve had in my time at EHT, which is about 18 years. The A novice boat also has three sophomores, but they’re all first-year rowers. Our whole freshmen/novice program is 23 kids total, and they’ve bonded together.”

The Ocean City girls varsity eight dominated a four-boat race to win in 4:58.50. The Red Raiders’ crew included stroke Kira Morjakovs, Adison Conti, Jada Smith, Marina Zappone, Margot…
