Cedarbrook

Two teenagers have been charged with killing an 87-year-old Navy veteran during an attempted robbery last week because he "did not move fast enough," police said Monday. The pair, a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, who is the alleged shooter, are also suspects in as many as five other robberies in the Cedarbrook neighborhood, authorities said, including one that occurred about 40 minutes before George Greaves was killed outside his home. The Aug. 18 slaying has stunned the quiet neighborhood where Greaves had been a fixture for decades.

The Cedarbrook Country Club team of pro Terry Matter and amateurs Mike Rizzo, Sal Paone and Dick Perrotti won the Philadelphia PGA's Pro-Senior Amateur Tournament with a score of 36 points yesterday at Indian Valley Country Club.

Despite entering last year's Lower Montco American Legion League playoffs as the fourth seed, Cedarbrook won the championship and represented the league in the Region 3 tournament. So neither manager Jordan Prusack nor his players were concerned that the Angels will enter this year's postseason as a fourth-place underdog yet again. They are 10-8-1 entering tonight's game with Horsham (11-7-1), which is 2-0-1 against Cedarbrook and therefore will finish in third place even if the Angels win. The Generals (16-4)

A 4-year-old boy was killed last night when fire swept his family's home in the city's Cedarbrook section, fire officials said. Heavy smoke and flames repeatedly turned back desperate attempts by relatives and neighbors to rescue Lance Herder from the basement of the two- story rowhouse on Temple Road near Mount Airy Avenue, said Lt. Matthew Medley of the fire marshal's office. He was pronounced dead at the scene. According to Medley, Lance was alone in he basement recreation room when the blaze broke out about 6:28 p.m. The fire, brought under control 18 minutes later, was confined to the rec room and the first floor.

With bandages on his face and his left hand and wrist, Cedarbrook coach Jon Cross looked as if he had gone to battle for his team. And that was even before the Angels stepped on the field against visiting Fort Washington Tuesday night in a key Lower Montco American Legion game. But the real battle hadn't been fought yet. In a wild sixth inning, the Generals tied the game with three runs, including the tying run, scored on a disputed call. The call resulted in Cross and a couple of his players being ejected from the game.

Across from the sloping driveway where the body of George Greaves lay under a sheet last week, a trash can is chained to a street-sign pole. Consider it a metaphor for the tension that has grown over the last few years between longtime homeowners like Greaves, who prided himself on good manners and his tidy garden, and the crime that has seeped into this once-serene community. "It's still a good neighborhood, but it's not the neighborhood I once knew," Edward C. Nicholson Sr., 65, said of East Mount Airy or, as some call this section, Cedarbrook.

Courtney Wilson, a longtime active member of the Remnant Church of God 7th Day in the city's Cedarbrook section, often took an interest in the children of members of the congregation, offering to take them to church activities or to school. To the other families in his church, Wilson was a friendly and helpful volunteer, police said. On Sunday, five women who met Wilson as children went to the police, saying they suffered years of repeated sexual assaults at Wilson's hands.
