Hopefully we’ll get to that point where both sides [can] live harmoniously.” Desyatnik sees irony in Angelo’s predicament it’s a victim of its own success,” he said “That’s something that’s kind of in [Angelo’s] culture now,” said Bella Vista resident John McKenzie who helped facilitate the first community meeting McKenzie lives on one of most tucked-away of Bella Vista’s small side streets but he said people peeing outside his house is a weekly occurrence “It’s very easy for them to find this little secluded area as a place to use the bathroom,” he said It’s what prompted him to reach out to Squilla who arranged a meeting in November for residents to air their grievances “There were neighbors that lived right there [on the 700 block of South Ninth] saying my space is being used as this restaurant’s,’” McKenzie recalled Even farther-afield neighbors feel the effects There’s people beeping their horn because people are blocking stuff,” McKenzie said acknowledging the improvement the city’s delineator posts have made in clearing the crosswalks But it doesn’t solve the traffic headache completely: Sysco delivery trucks routinely block Fitzwater Street on days Angelo’s is open “They’ll put their cone up and park there for like 45 minutes,” McKenzie said He’s asked the Philadelphia Parking Authority to intervene before but was told the agency can’t ticket the truck unless it’s unattended Some fear the parking situation will get worse once the Rite-Aid that’s limping along at Ninth and Catharine closes; developer Ori Feibush owns the property and they’re betting that it will be converted into apartments The Rite Aid’s parking lot currently serves as de facto Angelo’s parking and if it’s gone or designated for tenants Palmer recognizes that common decency isn’t enforceable “Catching people littering in Philadelphia But he points to other restaurants in the neighborhood as models of stewardship including the Saloon and Angelo’s predecessor is married to one of Louis Sarcone Sr.’s granddaughters.) “People would go in Palmer plans to attend the meeting to hear what solutions Angelo’s might offer to troubled neighbors “It’s really not up to us to fix the problem for them “I just wish that they were like Jim’s Steaks down on South Street “This pizza place in this rowhouse has now become a huge business around other rowhouses.” Some neighbors indicated they’d be happy if Angelo’s made an effort to be part of the broader neighborhood — contributing to the sidewalk-sweeping fund Desyatnik said Angelo’s might take a page from John’s Water Ice (The Bella Vista Neighbors Association hasn’t had direct contact with Angelo’s said that the restaurant “frequently provides free food in support of community and charitable events and groups I do not have the specifics but can tell you that this has been their way of giving back to the community both local and beyond.” Others hope some leverage might be gained in pressing on the variance granted to 736 S. Ninth St. (Angelo’s current address) in 2007 A Bella Vista community organization approved the variance request at the time after stipulating the deli operate between 9 a.m and that there be “no grilling” on premises Others still would like to see Angelo’s relocate entirely McKenzie hopes the tenor of this week’s meeting which Kelsen and an Angelo’s representative will attend “I just want to get the problems out there — which I think we know — and then get solutions to that.” clusters of people lingered on every corner of Ninth and Fitzwater with several tucking into cheesesteaks from a perch on the concrete curb at the base of Palumbo’s chain-link fence The four trash cans by Angelo’s — three around the southwest corner one on the southeast — had plenty of room left Fitzwater was closed to traffic west of Ninth as an 18-wheeler stopped to unload food deliveries to the pizzeria A postman who’s been working this beat for 22 years paused on his route to comment there was a gaggle of young women eating on the steps of the rowhouse two doors down from Angelo’s a couple ate pizza out of their trunk as two college-age kids stashed 30 sandwiches in a cooler in the back of their car The scene is “kind of iconic,” grants Desyatnik “People in their sports gear just standing around eating off their hoods — there’s something to it “We’re proud of our neighborhood being featured in the national food scene,” he said We just have to make it work for everybody.” Staff writer Jake Blumgart contributed reporting to this article How to watch California high school girls lacrosse: St April 29Data SkriveThere is an intriguing high school match in Sacramento with St Francis Catholic High School hosting Bella Vista High School How to watch Bella Vista vs. St. Francis girls lacrosseBella Vista and St. Francis will take the field on Tuesday, April 29, at 6 p.m. PT.

(Photo by Anthony Chiu/Cronkite News) has been instrumental in the team’s success in Rosenthal’s first season leading the program Rosenthal’s previous coaching stops include stints with the Phoenix Suns Arizona State and the Santa Cruz Warriors (Golden State Warriors’ G League affiliate) and they’re tired in the third quarter and fourth quarter,” senior Aginaldo Neto said “So we just go in in the second half and put our foot on the gas.” The nine-man rotation creates a balanced offensive attack as only one Bear averages double-figures Point guard Miles Sadler leads the team with 16.4 points per game second in the league behind five-star Darius Acuff Jr. who plays for IMG Academy and averages 25.2 points per game “I just think our whole team really bought in,” senior forward Jaion Pitt said Cameroon native Lucas Toukam soars for a dunk during CIA Bella Vista practice, showcasing the international talent fueling the team’s success. (Photo by Anthony Chiu/Cronkite News) Another unique characteristic of CIA Bella Vista is that all nine players are international representing four countries: Canada (six players) Cameroon (one player) and Senegal (one player) Bella Vista College Preparatory has seven teams and approximately 25 countries are represented across those teams “I think that’s contributed a little bit to our success because nothing’s been handed to us,” Rosenthal said to break in and get some of the acknowledgment and create some of the opportunities that they need for themselves they’ve got to go from completely unknown to performing at the highest level.” The players reside in several different team houses “We’ve got guys that have been here (in the United States) since eighth or ninth grade,” Rosenthal said “So just to make that level of commitment and then go through that whole process together collectively is part of the reason why we’re having so much success right now.” “I’ve grown a lot as a player and as a person off the court since I’ve been here,” Goode said He’s been able to turn to teammates for guidance Everyone has been through the same transition and adjustment “I teach the young guys because I’ve had a lot of experience,” Neto said so I bring more experience than anything.” The blossoming chemistry off-court between the players translates to the gym with just two regular-season games remaining CIA Bella Vista is in position to compete for a Scholastic League Championship CIA Bella Vista leading scorer Miles Sadler drives to the basket during practice, preparing for the final push of the regular season.

the video we’re showing sheds some light on the chaotic events investigators are currently working through As the video starts there is already blood on the ground Sources who would like to remain anonymous for safety have claimed there was a fight preceding the shooting but it is not clear if this video was taken then or after some shots were fired when we freeze the video it looks like the young man in gray pushing through the crowd had what looks like a gun in his hand It is not clear whether this person is one of the shooters or one of the people shot The Shasta County Sherriff's
