Local Dems make historic endorsements

Hearing set for Office of LGBT Affairs bill

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com

By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com Last month, City Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown proposed a bill to make permanent the Office of LGBT Affairs. Now PGN has obtained a more concrete timeline for the bill and its expected path onto the general-election ballot. The bill is scheduled for a hearing at 1:30 p.m. April 30 in the Committee on Law and Government. If approved, the bill would be eligible for a first reading in City Council May 7 and, pending that proceeding, would be eligible for a final-passage vote May 14. If it clears Council, the bill would move to the desk of Mayor Michael Nutter, who has already endorsed it. Once signed, the bill would appear on the Nov. 3 general-election ballot, where voters would be asked: “Shall The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter be amended to establish and define the functions of the Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Affairs, headed by a Director of LGBT Affairs?” The measure would essentially make the office immune to closure by any future mayoral administrations. “Philadelphia has an international reputation as a city that both celebrates diversity and has no tolerance for intolerance,” Reynolds Brown said. “This bill offers the LGBT community a permanent seat and voice at the table.” n

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN’: I’m From Driftwood’s famous pink boot served as a centerpiece for the LGBT-storytelling program’s fundraising brunch April 11 at John C. Anderson Apartments. I’m From Driftwood documents personal stories of LGBT people, with the pair of pink boots making its way around the nation with Driftwood organizers on their 2010-11 Story Tour. The brunch netted about $7,000 for the organization. IFD is also a beneficiary of the April 19 production of “Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays,” from Quince Productions.

For the first time ever, the local Democratic party has endorsed an openly LGBT candidate for Philadelphia City Council. At its endorsement meeting last Saturday, the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee endorsed Sherrie Cohen for a City Council-at-Large seat. The committee also endorsed out candidates Christopher Mallios and Abbe Fletman, who are both running for Court of Common Pleas judgeships. Philadelphia remains the only major city in the nation to never have elected an openly LGBT councilperson. “I’m honored to receive the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee endorsement,” Cohen said. “I want to thank every member of the committee, not only for their support but [their] faith in myself

and the campaign we are building.” Democratic voters will pick five candidates for Council-at-Large in the May 19 primary. The committee endorsed the four incumbents and Cohen. A dozen challengers are also vying for an at-Large seat, including openly gay candidate Paul Steinke. Cohen acknowledged the history-making nature of the endorsement. “This is a victory for the entire LGBT community that has fought for years to have direct representation on council,” Cohen said. “This is also a victory for working families, union members and for every Philadelphian who feels like city government doesn’t work for them.” Cohen, Mallios and Fletman were initially recommended for endorsement last month by a subset of the committee. The committee did not make an endorsement for mayor. n

City seeks to exclude anti-LGBT evidence in police brutality trial By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com City attorneys want a federal judge to exclude LGBT-related evidence in an upcoming police-brutality case, claiming the evidence is irrelevant and inflammatory. Luis A. Berrios 3d is suing Officer Michael Gentile for allegedly using excessive force when arresting him during a domestic disturbance in December 2010. He’s also suing Officer Robert Taverez and Detective Joseph Newbert for allegedly standing by and facilitating the excessive

force. Berrios contends police were motivated by homophobia, noting that slurs and taunts such as “faggot” were hurled at him during the incident. Last month, U.S. District Judge C. Darnell Jones 2d allowed the case to move forward to a jury trial. However, Jones dismissed several counts, including false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and conspiracy. On April 10, the city filed a six-page motion asking that LGBT-related evidence be excluded at trial. The motion quotes from a Third PAGE 19

Einstein launching OB/GYN clinic hours for lesbian, bi women By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com A Philadelphia hospital that was named one of Human Rights Campaign’s leaders in health-care equality last year is taking another step to create an even more welcoming and inclusive environment. The Einstein Healthcare Network hospital in North Philadelphia will launch special gynecology-department hours specifically for the lesbian and bisexual community, beginning later this spring. The chair of the hospital’s OB/GYN department and two lesbian health-care professionals will staff the clinic. During the special clinic hours, health issues relevant to the lesbian community will be highlighted, rather than typically heterosexual concerns; magazines and wall posters about pregnancy will be switched; registration forms will be reworded; and nurses, receptionists, medical assistants, technicians and others who will staff the clinic will undergo sensitivity training. “The issues and social concerns that the gay community has to face to gain access to care are daunting,” said Dr. David Jaspan, chair of Einstein’s department of obstetrics and gynecology. “And we wanted to break down the barriers and make it an easily accessible, safe place for gay women to access care.” Jaspan said that, often times, many lesbians and bi women are subjected to uncomfortable conversations with their

health-care provider when asked about sexual activity, birth control and pregnancy. “During these hours, we will ask questions that are appropriate and relevant to the people we are serving so that nobody will feel uncomfortable,” Jaspan said. The need for clinic hours devoted to this segment of the community arose in part when Dr. Michele Style treated “the patient who should never exist” early in her residency. The patient, who lived within walking distance of the clinic, came in with advanced-stage cervical cancer — largely preventable with regular pap smears. The patient, a lesbian, had not been to the gynecologist for 10 years because she felt uncomfortable seeing a traditional gynecologist. Style also experienced similarly uncomfortable situations herself. “I remember walking into a gynecologist’s office in my 20s and it didn’t feel like a safe or welcoming place, and I’m from a medical family,” Style said. This spurred Style and her colleague, physician assistant Shorn Butterworth, both lesbians, to suggest they open the niche clinic — especially with the large LGBT population in nearby Mt. Airy. Clinic hours and other details have not been finalized yet. LGBT health care is also provided at Einstein’s Center City and West Philly locations. For more information, visit, www.einstein.edu. n

News Briefing Killer of gay teen dies in prison Barry Mason, the killer of a gay teenager who allegedly robbed him nine years ago, died March 30 at a state prison in Somerset of natural causes. Mason, 79, was serving a life sentence for murdering Jamil Burton, 19, of South Philadelphia. In August 2006, Burton allegedly snatched a gold chain from Mason’s neck that held a valuable ring, then fled on a bicycle. Mason chased Burton by car to Louis Kahn Park at 11th and Pine streets, then repeatedly shot him, according to court records. In his court testimony, Mason said the ring had great sentimental value. In January 2008, a jury sentenced him to life in prison without parole.

D.A. files brief in Morris case On April 6, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office filed a legal brief urging a Philadelphia judge to dismiss PGN’s open-records request for complete dispatch records pertaining to the Nizah Morris case. The brief argues that the case is moot, because PGN allegedly approved an affidavit of non-existence included in the brief that’s sufficient to settle the case. Alternately, the brief argues that the case should be dismissed because a prior affidavit by the D.A.’s Office established that it has no responsive records, other than those supplied to the agency by PGN in 2013. Morris was a transgender woman found with a fatal head wound in 2002, shortly after a Center City “courtesy ride” from Philadelphia police. Her homicide remains unsolved. The dispatch records at issue pertain to a vehicle stop initiated by Officer Elizabeth Skala while she was assigned to handle Morris, who was intoxicated. Oral arguments are scheduled for 10 a.m. May 14 in Courtroom 426 of City Hall, with Common Pleas Judge Nina Wright Padilla presiding.

Scouts seek information from plaintiff Attorneys for the Boy Scouts of America want a Philadelphia judge to

compel the production of discovery items from a woman who’s suing the organization. In 2013, Patricia Evasew filed suit against the BSA, claiming the molestation of her son by a former Scoutmaster in Chester County caused her son to commit suicide. The former Scoutmaster, Charles Morris, denies the allegations. In an April 7 motion, the BSA requested that Evasew be compelled to reply to interrogatories and provide information pertaining to the case. A hearing on the BSA’s request was tentatively scheduled for 1 p.m. April 27 in Courtroom 246 of City Hall. Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Mark I. Bernstein is scheduled to preside. If the case can’t be resolved, a jury trial is scheduled for January 2016. Neither side had a comment for this update. — Timothy Cwiek

Quince to revive fundraising show By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com A local LGBT-focused theater group is this month bringing back a popular collection of marriage-equality themed plays, to again raise funds for local LGBT causes. Quince Productions will stage “Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays” April 19 and 26, with proceeds to benefit Equality Pennsylvania, I’m From Driftwood — an LGBT storytelling organization that is a new beneficiary — and Quince’s summer LGBT festival, GayFest!, where Quince debuted “Standing on Ceremony” last year. “Standing on Ceremony,” conceived by Brian Shnipper, is a collection of short plays, all touching on the topic of marriage equality, by playwrights Paul Rudnick, Neil LaBute, Moisés Kaufman, José Rivera, Mo Gaffney, Wendy MacLeod, Jordan Harrison and Doug Wright. Quince producing artistic director Rich Rubin said last summer’s production was a sold-out success. “We knew it would be a show with great interest. I’m never optimistic enough to anticipate a sell-out but I was thrilled when that happened,” he said, noting that the Equality PA fundraising aspect was a big draw, as was the content of the show. “It’s a unique presentation: short plays written by fairly major playwrights, all with so many different takes on the subject.” Rubin said Quince was eager to again stage the show, the first time the company has ever brought back a production. He reached out to last summer’s cast who — save one or two actors who had prior commitments — are eagerly returning to their roles, he said. The company decided not to bring it back as a component of GayFest! but rather in April, as Rubin said “Standing” is a good companion piece to its concurrently running gay-themed play “The Submission” — and in accordance with the old theatrical rule of lighter plays in the spring and darker productions in the fall. “Not every piece in ‘Standing on Ceremony’ is comic, but overall the show has a very positive feel to it, which I think makes it a good show for the spring,” he said. The eight short plays all have different feels and focuses, Rubin noted. “It really is something that any audi-

ence member in the world could enjoy,” he said. “These playwrights’ work has had a great appeal for a very general audience. Obviously, LGBT audiences have a stake in the subject matter but — and this was proven last year at GayFest! — it’s certainly not a production limited to LGBT audiences, although we have a sort of special connection to it, by virtue of what it’s about.” “Standing on Ceremony,” Rubin noted, was written in 2011, so while the topic is timely — the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on same-sex marriage later this month — the timeliness cuts two ways. “With the Supreme Court arguments and states all over the country legalizing [same-sex marriage], we’re seeing a lot of progress right now,” Rubin said. “But because things are changing so quickly, there are already pieces in this show that are historical pieces. There’s one, for instance, about two women who live in California who have to fly to Iowa to get married. That was during that brief time before Proposition 8 was invalidated. In a way, it’s presenting a timely subject and also depicting the history of what’s happened, even in just the last few years.” Rubin said last year’s shows raised about $1,500, split between GayFest! and Equality PA, and that I’m From Driftwood was a natural addition to the beneficiary list. “They’re doing in life what we’re trying to do on stage, which is tell our stories, so it was a perfect fit,” he said. While the company is limited in its fundraising capacity because of the small size of the theater — Walnut Street Theatre’s Studio 5 — Rubin said audience members will also be encouraged to donate after the show. “My goal is to sell out and we were also very successful last year with having representatives of the organization the show is benefiting get up and talk about their organization, while the cast goes around with baskets to raise extra money. Maybe our cast was just remarkably cute or something, but I was amazed at how successful that was,” he laughed. “People weren’t putting ones or fives in the basket, but 20s. So in that way, we’re unlimited in how much we can raise for these organizations.” The April 19 performance benefits GayFest! and I’m From Driftwood, and the April 26 show benefits GayFest! and Equality PA.

Big changes abound for Black Pride DARLA honors Latino community leaders By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com Philadelphia Black Pride is back and better than ever with a host of changes and new events. Besides dropping the “Gay” from its name, organizers have expanded the event to encompass a wide range of content uniquely tailored to the black queer community. This year’s theme, #phillyblackpride2015, encourages attendees to share their experience with others on social media. It’s all part of PBP’s new brand and programming vision. “We are more inclusive and more connected than ever to our mission of providing lifestyle programming for the community as a whole and providing space for people of color,” said PBP organizer D’Ontace Keyes. “Collectively, between ourselves and our partners, there are 16 events this year in a variety of venues and locations throughout the city.” The 16th annual Philly Black Pride will take place April 22-26. Most events are free or low cost. The celebration kicks off with #A1PHA monologues, a collective performance showcase celebrating the voice and

creativity of young black queer voices, 5-8 p.m. April 22 at the Rittenhouse Ethical Society, 1906 Rittenhouse Square. The Social Sunday Day Mingle, featuring multi-platinum singer and songwriter Dawn Richard, will conclude the festivities 5-9 p.m. April 26 at the Kimmel Center. For a complete listing of events, visit www.phillyblackpride.org. “Everything is new — new events, new Philly, new look,” Keyes said. “A lot of time was invested in determining what a quality Black Pride experience would be.” The result? A program lineup with a heavy emphasis on social and networking opportunities that bucks the common Pride festival stereotype as a hyper-sexualized, alcohol-fueled party. Also, events will be held at various venues throughout the city to showcase the “new Philly” to out-of-town visitors. “We want to provide visibility to the community through socially competent content that stems away from the focus in other Pride events on alcohol, sex and the financial bottom line,” Keyes said. “It’s really an opportunity for our community and community partners to connect — it serves a double purpose.”

Keyes noted that 75 percent of the events are free and proceeds raised from the remaining ticketed events go directly to PBP’s annual youth scholarship program. Philly Black Pride was created in 1999 as an offshoot of COLOURS, an LGBT health-service organization dedicated to serving people of color. In 2004, it became an independent nonprofit. Keyes said the event has its origins in large West Philly networking parties that LGBT individuals used to host in their homes. “These parties attracted people from near and far, and allowed everyone to catch up, reconnect and exchange,” Keyes said. “Philly Black Pride today is still modeled after those early parties.” Now, PBP draws up to 8,000 people and is showing no signs of slowing down. “We have matured, become more visible and aligned ourselves as a recognizable event in the city and state,” Keyes said. “When I first started working with Philly Black Pride in 2010, I would never have imagined we could secure venues like the Kimmel Center.” For more information, visit www.phillyblackpride.org. n

By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com GALAEI: A Latin@ Social Justice Organization will next week honor outstanding Latino leaders and organizations at its annual awards ceremony named for its founder: the David Acosta Revolutionary Leadership Awards. The sixth-annual DARLA event will take place 6-9 p.m. April 24 at Crane White Space, 1427 N. Second St. Tickets are $75. This year’s theme celebrates “transitions and coming out.” The past year held its own transitions for GALAEI: the passing of former executive director Gloria Casarez and GALAEI founder Acosta leaving the HIV/AIDS field after more than three decades, as well as the launch of a new logo and brand image and the organization’s upcoming move to North Philadelphia. “We are really excited about this year’s transitions and recognize that coming out in 2015 is going to look and feel different,” said GALAEI executive director Elicia Gonzales. Ada Bello will receive the DARLA this year. Bello, who migrated from Cuba in 1959, was one of Philadelphia’s early LGBT civil-rights leaders. She helped found Daughters of Bilitis and the Homophile Action League, and participated in the last of the Annual Reminder Day protests held in front of Independence Hall. “Ada is really a lifelong activist for LGBT communities and, given that this is the 50th anniversary of the Annual

Reminder Day celebration, the award couldn’t be more timely,” Gonzales said. “As a Cuban lesbian, she was really on the forefront of advocating for LGBT issues long before people realized there was such inequality.” The DARLA Youth award will be presented to 23-year-old Erika Guadalupe Nunez. Nunez has channeled much of her youthful energy back into the community, especially in helping undocumented immigrants. She has worked with the Migrant Power Movement and the National Immigrant Youth Alliance and was part of an effort that brought back six young, undocumented immigrants who qualified for the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program but were deported before it took effect in 2012. “Erika is wise beyond her years,” Gonzales said. “She has so much energy, passion and wisdom for social justice for queer Latinos. We wanted this award to recognize how much she has accomplished at such a young age, and inspire her and others to continue to do so.” Juntos, a Latino immigrant humanrights organization, will be honored with the DARLA Community award. Juntos recently started working more closely with the LGBT community and created a special LGBT committee. “GALAEI wants to be like Juntos when we grow up,” Gonzales said. “They have a very compelling, inspiring way of getting things done — and it’s all driven by the community.” For more information or to purchase DARLA tickets, visit www.galaei.org. n

Gayborhood Crime Watch Court upholds N.J. conversion-therapy law The following incidents in the Midtown Village and Washington Square West areas were reported to the Sixth Police District between March 30-April 5.

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit this week upheld a New Jersey law that bans so-called conversion therapy for youth. The appellate court handed down its ruling Monday in Doe v. Governor of the State of New Jersey, brought by the family of a teen who was undergoing conversion therapy and who argued that the law interferes with their parental rights. The law was instated in 2013, signed by Republican Gov. Chris Christie. It prohibits all licensed counselors from practicing methods that seek to change the sexual orientation of a client under age 18. The opinion was handed down by a unanimous threejudge panel of Judges D. Brooks Smith, Thomas Vanaskie and Dolores Sloviter, who wrote the ruling. The court’s finding upheld a ruling by U.S. District Judge Freda Wolfson in November 2013 that dismissed the case. An attorney for the plaintiffs has signaled they will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sloviter wrote that the state acted within its authority to “guard a general interest in children’s well-being.” “The fundamental rights of parents do not include the right to choose a specific type of provider for a specific medical or mental-health treatment that the state has reasonably deemed harmful,” she added. The Third Circuit issued a similar finding this past fall in another challenge to the New Jersey law. Conversion therapy for minors is currently banned in New Jersey, California and Washington, D.C. Last week, President Obama called for a ban on conversion therapy. Lawmakers last session introduced bills seeking to prohibit the practice in Pennsylvania but they did not gain traction before session ended. n

The stellar spring weather drew large crowds after CBLSL kicked off its season with games and opening ceremonies at Fairmount Park, where longtime player Tony Iero threw out the ceremonial first pitch and Montgomery County Register of Wills D. Bruce Hanes accepted the league’s Community Service Award. In 2013, Hanes began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples after determining the state ban on such licenses was unconstitutional.

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Pat Robertson

Editorial

Celebrating visibility And we’re off to the races. On Sunday, Hillary Clinton finally confirmed the announcement that has been years in the running: She’s making another bid for the White House in 2016. To announce her candidacy, Clinton released a video capturing Americans of all stripes talking about the new chapters of their lives — building up to her own declaration that her next phase includes a presidential run. Right off the bat, Clinton showcased her support for the LGBT community, as the video showcases two same-sex couples, one of whom is depicted walking down the street, with one describing how he’s preparing to marry his partner. Granted, the video does a very noticeably good job of highlighting Americans from seemingly every demographic group possible, but that it specifically points to a same-sex couple marrying — alongside people talking about making career changes, having a baby, retiring — speaks volumes, suggesting that two men marrying should be just as commonplace as the other life changes detailed in the video. The video marks unprecedented visibility for the LGBT community in presidential politics, a process that is continuing to evolve — and each win for visibility that we can claim will doubtlessly lead to more victories. When President Obama in 2012 became the first sitting president to declare his support for same-sex marriage, he set the bar for future Democratic presidents. That first step was taken and, as public opinion on marriage equality rapidly changes across the country, any future Democratic head of state would be expected to support marriage equality. Now that Clinton has so pointedly declared her support for the LGBT community, that too sets up expectations — both for her and for other candidates. Clinton caught the attention of LGBT voters who will now expect her to follow through on that symbolic support with action, if elected. And, especially if her campaign is successful, it could set the stage for LGBT inclusion and visibility in future presidential campaigns. The 2016 election is still quite a long way away. But, if the fevered response to Clinton’s campaign announcement is any indication, it’s sure to be a historic election season for the LGBT community. n

ers. The EEOC move is not unexpected: The administration has consistently argued that transgender people can and should be protected, including in previous findings by the EEOC that included transgender discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under this ruling, the EEOC ordered the Army to pay damages and attorney fees, as well as conduct trainings for all employees and supervisors at the facility where Lusardi works. In the last few months, we have seen the battle over transgender restroom rights reach a fever pitch, with six states so far introducing bills to prohibit transgender people from using the restroom of their preference. What the administration has done is fire a broadside at each of these states, showing where the federal government stands on the issue.

I’ve talked before about all that this administration has done for transgender Americans, including the end of gender “no-match” letters from the Social Security Administration, the inclusion of trans health care in the Affordable Care Act, forward-thinking policies for trans passport use and policy changes throughout the administration to aid transgender people. As our president reaches the end of his time in the White House — rather than slowing down and cruising through his “lame duck” term — he seems to be growing bolder. His most recent State of the Union speech, for example, was the first ever to include the word “transgender.” This EEOC move — and yes, that single gender-neutral restroom — moves things that much further. While it seems, lately, that the only news to be had involvPAGE 18

A restroom, a symbol In November 2011, I found myself making a whirlwind trip to Washington, D.C., to be part of a meeting in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building, for the uninitiated, is a sizable structure on the west side of the White House grounds. It includes some 566 rooms and covers roughly 600,000 square feet. I cannot tell you how many of those rooms happen to be restrooms and, perhaps for obvious reasons, detailed floor plans of the building are not exactly easy for people to get their hands on. One of them, however, is important. It is the first gender-neutral restroom at the White House for visitors and staff members. Now I think we can all agree that a single gender-neutral bathroom in a 600,000-square-foot building isn’t a lot.

This is also only one building within the White House grounds. For that matter, the administration allows staff and visitors to use any restroom they feel is consistent with their gender identity. In the grand scheme of things, perhaps this one restroom is not really that big a deal. And yet, it is. In conjunction with this restroom at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building came a ruling from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stating that denying transgender people access to restrooms and not respecting name changes violate federal sex-discrimination laws. The ruling is born out of a case brought by Tamara Lusardi, an Army employee who was denied the use of a women’s room after her transition. She also had supervisors that regularly disrespected her gender identity and outed her to oth-

AGING PGN

Megan Threats, Mark Strandquist and Courtney Bowles

Still here At the onset of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, people who were diagnosed were expected to live only one to two years after diagnosis. Today, life expectancy for people living with HIV/AIDS has increased tremendously, due in large part to new medications and treatments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people 55 and older accounted for almost one-fifth of the estimated 1.1-million people living with HIV infection in the United States in 2010. With the increase in life expectancy for people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States, there has been a focus on addressing issues related to aging with HIV. To transform narratives around these issues, the LGBT Elder Initiative is hosting the exciting event, “Still Here: Defiant Aging and HIV” May 23 at the John C. Anderson Apartments, 251 S. 13th St. The event will bring artists, activists, friends and neighbors together for a day of art, storytelling and transformation. Throughout the event, we will take outdated HIV medical materials from the AIDS Library, tear them up, turn them into new, beautiful blank sheets of paper and embed those sheets with community histories of survival, resilience and defied

expectations. Transforming outdated medical materials into blank sheets of paper will create a powerful platform for the individuals most impacted by these issues to author their own histories. Each handmade sheet of paper will be sewn together and turned into a beautiful, hand-crafted book that will become part of the AIDS Library’s permanent collection for future patrons to read. Please find some answers to frequently asked questions about aging with AIDS: Aging and sexual risk Q: Do older people living in the United States have the same risk factors for HIV infection as younger people? A: Yes. Inconsistent condom use, multiple partners and lack of knowledge about HIV and how to prevent transmission are a few of the shared risk factors among older and younger people. Q: Are women who have gone through menopause still at risk? A: Yes. Age-related thinning and dryness of vaginal tissue may raise older women’s risk for HIV infection. Women who are no longer able to get pregnant may be less likely to use a condom and to prac-

tice safer sex. Top HIV/AIDS risks for older adults: 1. Older people are less likely to talk about their sex lives or drug use with doctors. 2. HIV-prevention education is largely targeted at younger people. 3. Health-care providers may not test older people for HIV infection. 4. Health-care educators and providers often don’t talk with older people about HIV/AIDS prevention. 5. Physicians may not diagnose HIV infection in older people, associating the early symptoms of HIV with normal signs of aging. 6. Older people may not discuss HIV/ AIDS with family and friends due to the stigma of the disease Taking many different medications to deal with different health problems can make it more difficult for a doctor to choose anti-HIV drugs due to interactions with other medications. It is important to speak with your doctor about how you are feeling. Despite the effects of aging with HIV/AIDS, it is possible to live a healthy life. According to AIDSinfonet, older people may be better about adhering to medications than younger people.

Older people living with HIV need a strong community of support, which may be outside of their nuclear family. Do you or someone you love have a story of resilience? Of defied expectations? Of survival? Join us for the free event, “Still Here: Defiant Aging and HIV” May 23 at JCAA. The event will be hosted by the LGBTEI in collaboration with the AIDS Library and the People’s Paper Co-op. Please join us for this exciting event. Our history is ours to create together! Call 215-550-4460 or email info@ lgbtei.org for more information. n Megan Threats is the Public Services and Reference Librarian at the AIDS Library of Philadelphia. Courtney Bowles and Mark Strandquist are artists, educators, and community activists who utilize collaborative public art as a vehicle for engaging with systemic social issues. They founded the People’s Library and Windows From Prison projects, and are the co-directors of the art and legal advocacy at the People’s Paper Co-op at the Village of Arts and Humanities.

Day in the Life of ... By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com “My life is an open book.” That mantra shines through all of Harry Watkins’ interactions, including with his customers at The Kitchen Consigliere in Collingswood, N.J. Watkins started as a busser at the Italian restaurant three years ago and quickly moved up the chain of command. He now serves as a senior server, assisting management and largely catering to one section of the eatery — known as Little Italy. “That’s where I hold court,” he laughed. Watkins, 34, said he likes to give his diners more than high-quality Italian food. “People want to come in for dinner but a lot of them want a show too,” he said. “You have to read people; some are so self-involved that you can tell from the word go that they don’t want you to interact. That’s fine, I’ll be out of sight, out of mind and just anticipate when you need ice and do my job. But if you want me to put on a show, I’ll put on a show.” That showmanship may derive from his theater background — “I tried to make it onto the Great White Way at one point,” he said — or his varied career path. Watkins, a native of Barrington, N.J., got his first restaurant gig at 15, as a short-order cook at a breakfast spot in Haddon Heights. He became a busser at Mildred’s in Strathmere, his first front-of-house job, and went on to become a server and bartender at Adelphia in Deptford. “It was quick cash,” he said. “Back then, it was actually a lot of quick cash. There were times where I was making $1,200 a week. No one has that money anymore, though; the ’90s are over.” Watkins worked part-time in the restaurant industry while studying to be a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Camden. The son of a Polish and Irish father and a Filipino mother, Watkins said he was raised in a strictly Catholic household. “Catholic, through and through,” he said. “But recovered now.” At the time, he said, the seminary seemed like a fix for his burgeoning sexual orientation. “I thought it would fix this problem I had, which is how I viewed it at the time. Now I know it’s a part of my identity, who and what I am.” But, his LGBT identity wound up ending his seminary aspirations. “I was studying at St. Charles in Wynnewood, and I guess they read the writing on the wall before I did. The archdiocese doesn’t look too kindly on homosexuals as we all know,” he said. “They had an investigation — the court marshal of the Catholic Church — so I resigned. And then the family had questions so my coming-out was kind of forced.” Watkins eventually headed to New York City to try the Broadway route and ulti-

a restaurant senior server, Harry Watkins mately practicing real estate near Wall Street during the post-9/11 rebuild. But, the restaurant business beckoned him again and he moved back to this area, working at the Italian Bistro in Center City, Estia and bartending at Le Bec-Fin. But, a few years ago, Watkins had a run-in with the law: He started a Dumpster fire that ultimately landed him in county jail for three months. “I like torching things,” he said, characteristically making light of what he said was a very challenging time; upon his release, he had a felony on his record, making gainful employment challenging.

“I had to check the box on those job applications, so it was like, How am I going to find a job? I walked the streets, from Crystal Lake in Westmont all the way to Collingswood, hitting every restaurant, pizzeria, bakery, I didn’t care,” he said. “When you’re desperate and hungry for money and want to get back into the world, it doesn’t matter. I made my choices and so I had to make the choice to get myself back out there.” The Kitchen Consigliere was not dismayed by Watkins’ legal trouble. The eatery is owned by former mobster Angelo Lutz, who did several years in prison for racketeering. Lutz is upfront about his past, even incorporating an Italian-Mafia motif into the restaurant, himself among the figures on a large mural that adorns one wall, alongside a caricature of the fictional Tony Soprano and real-life mobster John Gotti. “My boss is very open with his history,” Watkins said. “He was making books, I was making fires so it’s whatever. We went to the same college, different schools.” The Kitchen Consigliere serves up home-style Italian cooking. “It’s whatever you would imagine your

Italian mother or grandmother cooking on Sundays. That’s what we’re going to serve you here,” Watkins said, referencing staples like chicken and eggplant parmesan. “It’s not cuisine where you can’t read the name and you’re like, What’s that?” Watkins works “40-plus” hours per week. Living just a few blocks from the restaurant, he’s able to come in at a few moments’ notice. At the start of his shifts, he checks the day’s operations to prepare for any special events or big parties, and ensures all equipment is set up. He looks over the reservation list and assigns servers and staffers to their stations. Then, when the doors open, it’s all hands on deck. On a weekend evening, the restaurant can serve up to 300 dinners, and sees upwards of 150 dinners on weekdays. The restaurant is popular with large groups, hosting everything from engagement parties to christening gatherings to graduation parties. Watkins said he sees a lot of regulars, from families to couples. “One couple comes in every Saturday at the same time. I know them like clockwork,” Watkins said. “They have their own table. She wants ice for her red wine and he wants a Dr. Pepper with lemon.” Some diners travel from South Philly for a taste of their Italian heritage, while others hail from the Jersey area. The area surrounding the restaurant, Watkins said, has become increasingly LGBT-centric. “We like to say the Pink Mafia brought this town back,” Watkins laughed. “Fifteen or 20 years ago, there was nothing here, but once the LGBTQIA community started coming here, it grew like crazy.” New Jersey legalized same-sex marriage around the time that The Kitchen Consigliere moved to its current, expanded space. Watkins said he was painting the restaurant when the third same-sex couple to marry in the state rushed over looking for a witness for their City Hall ceremony. “I’m schlepping around and they came running over and asked me to go over with them. So there’s news cameras and I’m there in my yellow babushka.” That sense of community in Collingswood, Watkins said, has led to very few run-ins at The Kitchen Consigliere with fussy customers, although he has risen to the challenge of serving such customers in the past. “When I worked at Adelphia, there was one customer no one ever wanted and I said, ‘I’ll take him.’ This was 10, 15 years ago but I remember he liked Tanqueray and tonic with three ice cubes and extra lime and his wife got an iced tea. And she always wanted a basket of popcorn from the bar on the table,” he said. “They became my regulars and one Christmas came around and he gave me just a wad of cash in my hand — it was like 100 dollars — and his wife was like, ‘Oh, give the boy a card!’ and I said, ‘Screw the card; thank you very much!

freakin’ Christmas!’ Some people you can win. Some people are just gruff, so servers don’t want to deal with them. But I’m kind of gruff, so I like the challenge.” While he’s used to building a rapport with customers, Watkins said, managing other employees is more challenging. “I’m an old-school person; I was taught by the Greeks and polished by the French. The Greeks say, ‘If you can lean, you can clean,’” he said. “A lot of younger people in this industry don’t have the same work ethic. It’s hard for me to have to verbalize what needs to be done because I just do it. If I see a frayed linen, I reset the table. Why wait for the customer to notice that? I’m meticulous with cleanliness; I could go into some beautiful, upscale restaurant and there could be a shooting in the dining room and I wouldn’t notice that, but I’d see a smudge on a glass or if the salt and pepper shakers aren’t filled.” It’s those details, Watkins noted, that most people overlook when they think about the restaurant industry. “I watch these reality shows and they make it look like owning and running a restaurant is easy; you just drop 100 grand and you’re good,” he said. “It’s not easy; it’s very, very difficult.” Technology is making the industry even more challenging, Watkins said. When he worked at Le Bec-Fin, the restaurant displayed a sign reading, “No cell-phone usage in the dining room,” a sentiment with which Watkins agrees. “Society has changed. Cell phones should not be on the table when you go out to eat,” he said. “It wastes time, lowers the profit-margin and makes people’s impatience go through the roof. Some things will take time; if you order a steak well done, it’s going to take a little time. It’s not like scrambled eggs.” But, even if diners get impatient, Watkins said, he can quell tensions. “The negative energy they have, I find it as ammunition to do battle with them — to kill them with kindness. I try to come out as the winner,” he said. “Some people just expect to have a bad time; something just crawled up there and died and they have the personality of ramen noodles without hot water. But that’s just them.” n

PGN TRANSMISSIONS from page 11

ing transgender people is where they are allowed to relieve themselves of bodily waste, there is much more. Here, too, you’ll find this administration at work. This year’s Transgender Day of Visibility was a special one, with the White House holding the first-ever briefing on issues facing transgender women of color. Trans women of color are disproportionately discriminated against, and a far greater target for violence and murder. This also follows the first Transgender Day of Remembrance event held at the White House in November. On the same day of the EEOC ruling, the administration responded to a petition started after the suicide of transgender teen Leelah Alcorn. In its response, the administration made it clear that it supports the banning of so-called “conversion therapy,” designed to change a person’s gender identity or sexual orientation. There is no evidence that such treatments are in any way effective, and plenty of evidence that they do more harm than good. Health care is another hot-button issue for transgender people: Last month, a federal court ruled that the Affordable Care Act does indeed prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. The case, Rumble v. Fairview Health Services, involved a transgender man who was misgendered and given poor care due to his trans status. The hospital argued that anti-trans discrimination was not covered under the ACA — an opinion the court did not agree with. Finally, the Department of Justice has filed its first lawsuit on behalf of a transgender person. In United States of America v. Southeastern Oklahoma State University and the Regional University System of Oklahoma, the administration is claiming that Rachel Tudor was discriminated against after her 2007 transition. Like Lusardi, she was informed she could only use a single-stall restroom at some distance from her office. She was also repeatedly barred from promotion and tenure. There is a certain irony that, in the wake of two cases that include transgender people being forced to use a single stall and presumably gender-neutral restroom, the administration would make a symbolic offering of a gender-neutral restroom on the White House grounds. Nevertheless, this, in conjunction with the above, sends a clear message that transgender and gender-nonconforming Americans do indeed have the right to use whatever facilities they identify with — even if they do not feel comfortable in a gender-designated restroom. More than this, particularly in a time when transgender rights are more and more tied to public accommodations, it says, once again, that our rights matter. n Gwen Smith would like to shake this president’s hand.

BERRIOS from page 1

Circuit ruling in a different case, which states: “If the force [defendant] used was unreasonable, it does not matter whether [defendant] had good motivations. And an officer’s improper motive will not establish excessive force if the force used was objectively reasonable.” Due to this prior ruling, the city’s motion argues: “[T]he court should bar [Berrios] from presenting evidence regarding the bigoted statements allegedly made by police officers, as well as any other evidence regarding the officers’ motives for using force.” The city’s motion adds: “Moreover, the court should bar the introduction of the alleged [homophobic] statements even if they were somehow relevant, because allowing the jury to hear about such inflaming statements would subject the officers to unfair prejudice.” The city also seeks the exclusion of evidence related to excessive force used against Berrios’ former boyfriend during the incident. “[Berrios’] outlandish statements that police officers struck [his former boyfriend] with batons when he already had handcuffs on, and needlessly jumped on [his] ankles, would subject the defendants to unfair prejudice.” “For the foregoing reasons, the court should bar [Berrios] from introducing evidence of homophobic statements allegedly made by police officers, as well as any other evidence of the officers’ motives. Moreover, the court should preclude [Berrios] from presenting evidence about the force used against [his former boyfriend].” The motion was filed by city attorney Michael R. Miller, who declined to comment for this story. “As a matter of policy, the city does not comment on pending litigation,” Miller said in an email. Berrios, 31, said he’s looking forward to his day in court. “As for the city’s attempt to exclude LGBT-related evidence, I strongly oppose their request,” Berrios told PGN. “I firmly believe police were motivated by antiLGBT animus. It’s the key to all of this. The jury must be allowed to consider all the evidence, including the LGBT evidence. I need the defendants to be held accountable. None of this would have happened if they didn’t realize our sexual orientation.” Berrios also expressed disappointment that some counts against police were dismissed. “I do feel sad that some charges were dismissed, when I can say deep in my heart I wasn’t wrong. I’m still thankful that I will get the opportunity to fight for justice. This is a fight I’m willing to fight. I’ve been quiet way too long. It’s now time that these Philadelphia police officers stand before a judge and pay for the crimes they have committed.” As of presstime, a date for the trial hadn’t been announced. n

Hang On, Kathleen Some advice for our embattled AG

Attorney General Kathleen Kane. Photo: attorneygeneral.gov

athleen Kane must be thinking back longingly to a time not too long ago (less than two years in fact) when she was a rising star not just in Pennsylvania but, among Democrats, nationally. In July 2013, the Washington Post profiled Kane, opening with these words, “When Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane became the first woman and first Democrat ever elected to her position in November, she not only beat her GOP opponent David Freed by double digits. By garnering more than three million votes, she outperformed every man on the ticket, including President Obama and the state’s incumbent Democratic senator, Bob Casey.” And closing with these: “Said Stephanie Schriock, president of the EMILY’s List, which works to elect Democratic women candidates who support abortion rights: ‘It’s only been a few short months, but Attorney General Kathleen Kane has already proven herself to be the kind of progressive fighter that Pennsylvanians need. We were proud to support her in her race for Attorney General because she is a rising star — and she has the experience and guts a person needs to take a spot on the presidential ticket in 2020 or 2024. We

can’t wait to see what she does next.’” Today Kathleen Kane faces the threat of being indicted on charges of leaking grand jury testimony in an alleged vendetta against a former deputy attorney general. Her constitutional challenge to the grand jury that found her to have lied and obstructed justice fell on deaf ears at the state Supreme Court and she now faces a call from the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Harrisburg Patriot to resign. The proverbial straw that broke the Inky’s back was the revelation earlier this month that Kane had deep-sixed a grand jury investigating the alleged channeling of information from a Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board member to one of the applicants for a casino license, in a deal that paid the employee with a casino job shortly after the applicant was awarded the license. The Inquirer ed board wrote: “It’s now clear that since her early days in office, Kane’s attempts to protect legitimate law enforcement targets and smear rivals have been at odds with the public interest … The Editorial Board endorsed Kane’s candidacy partly because of her seeming promise as a reformer and professional prosecutor. But she has demonstrated that she is not up to the task. Given her repeated unspooling of corruption in-

vestigations and the looming possibility that she will be prosecuted herself, it is difficult to see how Kane can continue to serve as Pennsylvania’s top law enforcement official.” To those clamoring for Kane to resign, we say hold on: Kathleen Kane can pull out of this political death-dive if she follows a bit of advice.

…get back to what made you a rising star in the first place. First, get rid of Lanny Davis. An attorney general using a “publicist and lawyer” to respond to the press only reinforces the impression that you have a problem. It would be one thing if Davis comes up with a communications strategy that looks like it can turn the corner for you but to date we have seen little to suggest he can. And at times Davis does nothing but say the wrong thing. The most recent example: telling the press that the reason you have only one operating grand jury in the state is that you went on vacation before signing the paperwork Continued on page 2 APRIL 12-19, 2015

Hang On, Kathleen Continued from page 1 to empanel additional grand juries. Really? This is the spin you want on that story? That a vacation was more important than impanelling grand juries? We can just see the attack ads now. Second, stop hiring campaign personnel from Arkansas to fill your inner circle. You hired a press secretary in January who resigned in March and a chief of staff in December who resigned in April. The Arkansas revolving door continues to undermine our confidence in your ability to do the very basics — like managing an office. Third, get back to what made you a rising star in the first place. Not six months into your term, you stood up to a law you deemed

unconstitutional when you refused to enforce the state’s ban on same-sex marriage and became the darling of state Democrats. Today you can do the same. Call for sweeping legislation to ban discrimination that includes gender identity in the wake of the moves in Indiana and Arkansas to legislate such discrimination. Take on the state’s right-wing poster boy, Rep. Darryl Metcalfe, and become the leader you once were. You have a year to re-election — a lifetime in politics. Understand there is a path for you, Kathleen Kane, but you must show folks that you are willing to take it.

Jackson/Doughty Continued from page 12 was happy to be back.” And he now can focus on the 2015-2016 season. “We’ve had a lot of success here with three [state tournament runs] and one state championship,” he said. “I think we can keep it going. We have some good players still in the school. This was a hard year for the kids. They did a good job staying focused. I’m very proud about how our guys responded to everything. It wasn’t an easy situation for them and it showed their strength and ability to deal with things well. Jackson said his team would be a much different one next year without the services of Doughty, the top offensive player in the area in 2015. Doughty, a Liberty City Press first-team allarea player in 2015, averaged 23 points per contest. (The Inquirer

and City of Basketball Love had him on the second team all-area.) “I knew that he could get me a basket anytime I needed one and it was great to coach a guy like that on the court,” said Jackson. “But really I care more about how he improved as a person and a kid. It’s a testament to him, to me, the coaches, the school and our teachers that he became such a responsible and thoughtful student here. He was kind of immature and had a bad reputation when he came here. He’s a good kid and he had tremendous growth with his character as a kid and a teammate. If anything, he was too unselfish at times on our team because we needed him to score for us. We’re going to miss him for sure.”

Art of the Battle James Dupree celebrates 35 years — with a statement by Sheila Simmons

rom the words, “Got my deed back,” painted on the side of a building saved from eminent domain, viewers might think owner and nationally renowned visual artist James Dupree could return to creating without battle. But that’s not the case for the artist — who gained national attention and coverage in the Washington Post, Huffington Post and Forbes magazine when the city seized his 8,600-square-foot building and art studio to make way for a supermarket and parking lot. Citing the expense of legal challenges, the city in December announced it was halting its seizure efforts. But last month after Dupree began erecting a new piece titled “Mantua Cemetery” in a consistently dumped-upon lot on Mount Vernon Street directly across from the rear of his studio at 3617 Haverford Avenue, the artist stated this on Facebook: “Just found out that they destroyed my cemetery and removed everything and put up cameras … finally got them to do something about the dumping, and scared them with art at the same time.” So still he fights. “I’m not letting it go,” Dupree now says of the artistic statement he’s making by transforming pieces of wood, from the properties of 55 homeowners in a four-block radius demolished through eminent domain, into crosses and coffins. “On the 25th, I’m going to clean up the yard next to me and plant all [the ‘Mantua Cemetery’ pieces]

out front of the yard.” April 25 is the day of Dupree’s Second Annual Open Studio event, and the marking of what he calls “35 Years of the 35 Year Plan.” Dupree was born in Pittsburgh, but grew up in West Philadelphia with his grandparents. With a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Pennsylvania, he served as artistic director for Brandywine Art Gallery, and has permanent collections at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Schomberg Museum in Copenhagen, and private collections with the Dave Matthews Band and Patti LaBelle. He is best known for his depictions of music — whole notes and chord progressions, jazz artists and hip-hop icons. Dupree has been especially productive over the last two years, but not of the brightly energetic music pieces to which he’s accustomed. “Because of them seizing and taking my property against my will, I fought back through the art,” he said, “explaining the situation and dealing with my stress and depression through the art.” Dupree pumped out 400 pieces, two books and a major documentary to be released soon. And he fights to survive in Mantua. “I was really upset because somebody had dumped a load of wood next to my building,” Dupree said. “I got a new assistant and decided to move it off my building and I said I’m gonna make a statement.” He concludes, “I already started on 25 new pieces, and it’s some great stuff.”

SHERIFF’S SALE Properties

sold

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 10:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE

Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price. Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadel-

SHERIFF’S SALE

phia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb.phila. gov for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address.

N.B. - For the benefit of our non-professional readers who do not understand the meaning of the letters and figures following the defendant’s names, we make the following. EXPLANATION The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him. Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia

Carr Becomes Top AAU Coach — Reflects On Career Team Final head coach eager to mentor the next generation by Jeremy Treatman

ormer La Salle men’s great Donnie Carr was named Team Final’s head coach for its under-15 team that will travel all over the country this summer. Team Final featured many of our area’s standouts such as Trey Lowe (Temple), Shawn Alston (Temple) and LaMarr Kimble (St. Joseph’s) on its under-17 team last summer. Most of Team Final’s top players are recruited nationally by top programs year in and year out. Carr was an assistant coach for Team Final and the Haverford School in 2015. “I’m blessed and honored to be a head coach for Team Final,” said Carr, who once played AAU basketball with and against Kobe Bryant, Rip Hamilton and Malik Allen,

all who became NBA standouts. “Team Final is the best AAU program in the tri-state area and one of the best programs in the country. I’m thankful to have an opportunity to develop and build on fundamentals, habits that will arm these kids for future experiences and give them a chance to earn a Division I or II scholarship.” Carr was a fiery competitor at La Salle but earned a great reputation, as a team player and class guy to his opponents and hasn’t forgotten that aspect of the game either. “We all want to win every game we play or coach but we must lose with class and congratulate our opponents.” Carr has coached at Roman Catholic, Holy Family College, and played overseas for a few years after scoring 2,064 points, good for fifth all-time

Jackson Happy to Be Back/Doughty Reconsidering by Jeremy Treatman Add Samir Doughty to the list of Public League players who may be opening up their recruitment in April. Math, Civics & Sciences coach Danny Jackson said his 6-foot-4 guard may be considering options other than St. John’s after Steve Lavin was let go recently and Hall of Famer Chris Mullin was hired to replace him. “He’s not sure yet if he is going to stay at St. John’s yet,” said Jackson. “He wants to find out about the new situation first. It’s not 100 percent set now.” During Final Four weekend, Constitution forward Ahmad Gilbert announced he, too, may consider going somewhere other than George Mason after the school’s coach Paul Hewitt was fired from the university and replaced by former Bucknell head man Dave Paulsen. In Doughty’s case, Jackson is glad to be officially in the loop of hearing input from his star player. Jackson was informed in

at La Salle. Carr said he has made peace with the fact that the aforementioned NBA stars he competed with as a senior at Roman Catholic in 1996 experienced something he didn’t get to do. “I was always very happy with those guys and disappointed at the same time,” he said. “We were all part of a great class of 1996 and it was beautiful to see the success Kobe, Rip and Malik had. On the other hand, I was very disappointed how my career ended after having played in Turkey and France. I stopped way sooner than I wanted to and way sooner than I ever thought I would. It took me over a decade to finally get over it. I had a very difficult time transitioning into a normal life. Even though I earned a college degree, I never thought about plan B because I always thought that I would make the NBA or play a long time overseas. So every time I saw anyone of those guys from ’96 on TV it would remind me of my playing days and how close I was to being in the NBA and it would kill me inside. Because I knew I was on their level at one time I would hate when random people would say I remember that game at Drexel between you and Kobe [Lower Merion and Roman Catholic] and you got over on him! I finally told myself that God is the best of planners and it wasn’t meant to be.”

late March that he was getting his job back full time. Jackson was technically an assistant coach under David Ruffin when he helped the Elephants to a PIAA A state semifinal playoff berth. Both he and athletic director Lonnie Diggs had left the team for a month after an issue regarding the background of an adult who was helping coach the team arose, according to many published reports. “A lot of people thought I was fired but it wasn’t like that,” he said. “I was on a leave of absence and it was a mutual agreement between the school and me that I would come back. I always knew that I was coming back.” Jackson is thrilled to reclaim the head-coaching job at MC&S, a position he’s held since 2005 when he said principal Veronica Joyner asked him to start the program. “I’ve been here since I was 19,” he said. “I don’t want to be anywhere else. So of course I

teams who met in the NCAA Division I men’s championship game on April 6 exchanged handshakes after the Blue Devils’ narrowly beat the Badgers for their fifth title. The happier of the two men was Friends’ Central graduate Amile Jefferson, who had a terrific floor game for Duke. The sadder member was Badgers’ coach Bo Ryan, star player on Chester’s 1965 team, who got his team to the Final Four twice in the last two years, earned a monumental win over Kentucky in the semifinals, and came up just short versus Duke in a classic. “How about little old Friends’ Central School with two guys winning national championships [Hakim Warrick won one with Syracuse in 2003],” said Jason Polykoff, now the coach of Earlham College in Indiana and Jefferson’s coach at FCS, and a teammate of Warrick’s. “I couldn’t be prouder of Amile. The whole community is thrilled just like they were for Hakim.”

CUKED: Vincent Franklin as Henry Best (top, left) and Cyril Nri as Lance Sullivan in the new Logo show “Cucumber”

‘Queer As Folk’ creator delivers ‘Cucumber’ and ‘Banana’ By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com “Queer As Folk” creator Russell T. Davies is bringing two new interwoven gay dramas from across the pond with “Cucumber” and “Banana,” which are currently airing on Logo. Both revolve around modern gay life in Manchester, England: The hour-long “Cucumber” explores the lives and misadventures of Henry Best and his long-suffering boyfriend of nine years, Lance Sullivan, while the half-hour “Banana” follows the individual lives of younger characters on the periphery of Henry’s world. Actor Vincent Franklin, who plays Henry, said “Cucumber” treads into more mature subject matter and darker territory than “Queer As Folk.” “When you’re in your early 20s with the whole of your life stretching out in front of you, it’s really fun,” Franklin said about the difference between “Cucumber” and “Queer As Folk.” “When you make mistakes and in that moment you might feel that it’s disastrous and that your world is collapsing, you sort of know that you have time to put things right. But when you are in your late 40s, the stakes are a lot higher. It feels like it’s your

last roll of the dice. While there’s something very joyous about ‘Queer As Folk,’ what this is about is being middle-aged and foolish and, as a result, while it’s hysterical and brutally honest, everything is more serious and darker in its tone than ‘Queer As Folk’ was and the characters in it are a little bit more rounded.” Franklin said the “Cucumber” characters have been a bit more “battered by the elements” than those in “Queer As Folk.” While on the surface Henry appears to have a happy life — a comfortable life and a good job — he has a history of failed relationships and a pervasive insecurity that continues to affect him. “Deep down inside he’s still not happy with who he is and he still hasn’t come to terms with that,” Franklin said. “Everyone in ‘Queer As Folk’ is in some way, shape or form beautiful and energized, and I loathe them all. Henry is bald and bearded. He’s very clever but he’s not a happy man.” Franklin clarified that he doesn’t actually loathe the characters on “Queer As Folk” as much as he envies them for their aesthetic. “I was born 45 years old, fat and bald,” he joked. “I’ve always had an issue with good-looking actors. When I was in drama school, I played people’s dads and they

were actually five years older than me. And nobody batted an eyelid. Everyone thought, Yes, he looks like their dad. So when I say, ‘They’re all beautiful,’ I’m only being cynical and middle-aged and Henry-like looking at them.” Franklin added that “Queer As Folk” was groundbreaking in its mainstream appeal, and that “Cucumber” continues that evolution. “‘Queer As Folk’ is about young people and has an optimism and energy about it. It broke the mold over here. It meant that straight people are watching a drama about gay characters, which they had never done before. It wasn’t just massively popular with the gay community. It was popular across the board,” he said. “As a result, it changed the way people felt about the gay community over here in a way that no drama has done. And having done that, there’s now the opportunity to bring in … you know, not every gay man is beautiful. Some gay men are old, cynical, twisted and bored.” Don’t fret too much. There are some younger, pretty characters floating around in “Cucumber” and taking center stage in “Banana.” Franklin said having the two separate series is necessary because it keeps the main

story in “Cucumber” more focused. “’Cucumber’ is a novel,” Franklin said. “It’s a big, long story about a middle-aged man and his partner. It focuses on both characters. And often, in a story in a novel, we meet characters that there is no time to explore fully. What Russell has done is say, ‘Here’s all these characters that we’ve run into briefly in “Cucumber.” Let’s give them an opportunity. Let’s look at these individual portraits for half an hour to tell tiny, individual stories, all highly focused on one character.’ They tend to be younger and sexier than the characters in ‘Cucumber.’ What it allows us to do is concentrate on ‘Cucumber’ on that central relationship, but allows us to fill in the details.” Aside from the wide age demographic, “Cucumber” and “Banana” feature some of the most diverse casting you will see on TV, gay or straight, on either side of the Atlantic. “People talk a lot about how this is a show that really explores the gay community,” Franklin said. “But I think one of the things people haven’t talked about enough is the fact that this is the most culturally diverse cast I’ve been a part of. No one has really talked about the fact that the relationship Henry and Lance are in is a relationship between a black secPAGE 24

ond-generation guy and a white guy. What is so brilliant about the show is that the cast is sexually and culturally diverse. It has Asian people, Chinese people, Afro-Caribbean people; it’s absolutely a representation of modern Britain. I would have the worst teeth of any actor on American television. You just don’t have guys that look like me unless we are playing a Bond villain. One of the things that is brilliant about the show is that it really is a representation of the United Kingdom and our culture over here. It celebrates that.” When viewers first meet Henry and Lance, the couple is not in a happy place in their relationship and things get worse in a darkly comic way by the end of the first episode. Henry said the audience shouldn’t expect a storybook ending for the lead characters. “Russell won’t compromise these characters just to give the audience what they expect,” he said. “There will be some fantastically shocking and honest moments that the audience will not be expecting. But I promise people they will not be disappointed.” Franklin added that, unlike American tele-

(215) 829-0170

vision series, “Cucumber” isn’t trying to drag these characters’ stories out for as long as people are willing to watch. Instead, the stories have a definite conclusion. “There is a big movement over here for the long haul and that comes off the back of all those American series we’ve adopted and love over here,” he said. “Russell had the idea for this series 10 years ago. It’s a story he really wanted to tell and it’s a story with a beginning, a middle and an end. Many writers who don’t have the respect that Russell has in the industry would have had to go to a company and go, ‘This is how we can make series two, series three and series four from it.’ I think what is brilliant about this is that it’s a complete story and, at the end of it, we all walk away. As an actor, it’s breaking my heart but for the audience it means that it’s not compromised. By the time you get to the last third of the series, we are setting up the next one. It’s like a really good meal: It’s really satisfying and you shouldn’t come away from a great meal thinking maybe there’s another course. It’s perfect as it is.” n “Cucumber” and “Banana” air Mondays starting at 10 p.m. on Logo. For more information, visit www.logotv.com.

Kevin Armstrong: From the counselor’s office to the commissioner’s office “Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game’s over.” — Mary Schmich Take me out to the ball game! Yes, people, softball season has begun. It’s the time of year for camaraderie and angst, trials and triumphs. If you didn’t know, the City of Brotherly Love Softball League is one of the oldest sports organizations in Philadelphia. It has been around for more than 30 years and promotes LGBTQ inclusion on and off the softball fields. The games are played in Fairmount Park, with three different divisions within the league — men’s competitive, women’s and co-ed recreational — so everyone is welcome to play! League commissioner Kevin Armstrong gave us the rundown on his new role and the 2015 season, which kicked off last weekend. PGN: So, you’re the commissioner of CBLSL. Are you from the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection? KA: No, I grew up in upstate New York, in Ithaca. PGN: You must be used to cold weather. KA: Yes, I don’t like it but I’m used to it. I remember a time back in about ’93 when we had a huge blizzard. I think we missed a whole week of school and it’s not like down here where you get a few inches and they shut everything down: It has to really snow for us to miss school. Ugh. PGN: Big family? Little family? KA: Medium: I’m the youngest of three. I have an older brother and sister. PGN: And the folks? KA: They were both born and raised in Ithaca. My dad was a high-school English teacher and my mom was the head of the billing department at a doctor’s office. They both just retired last year. PGN: So you had your education and your health covered! KA: Oh yes. PGN: What was your favorite class? KA: I enjoyed social studies and history. I always found it interesting. PGN: What was a fun family tradition? KA: Well, I can tell you that we didn’t take many family vacations, but we were all really into sports. My dad was an English teacher but he was also a coach in high school: baseball, hockey, you name it. So we were always at some sporting event. My grandpa was a football coach and my older brother played college baseball too.

PGN: Do you think being in a family of jocks made it harder to come out? KA: Gosh, you know I’ve never thought about that; it’s a good question. I don’t know, I was pretty athletic as well. I played sports growing up and varsity sports in high school. I guess maybe I worried what they would think but it ended up being OK. PGN: What was your primary sport? KA: Baseball and hockey and I did crew as well. PGN: Who was your best friend in high school? KA: A girl named Erin Whipple. Actually I just went to her wedding last summer so her new last name is Preat. We were good friends and obviously got along really well. PGN: When did you come out? KA: Well, it was by accident when I was about 19 or 20. I’m glad it happened because, to be honest with you, it made life easier in the long run. Basically, the way the story goes is that I was back at home during a college break. This was back before everyone had their own cell phones, so I was talking on the landline to this guy that I was interested in and my dad overheard the whole conversation. So there was no denying it at that point. It wasn’t funny at the time but now I look back and laugh. And it took away a lot of the angst of figuring out when I was going to tell them or how I was going to tell them. PGN: When had you realized to yourself that you were gay? KA: Actually not that much before my parents found out. In high school it wasn’t a predominant concern: I had some highschool girlfriends and I liked them. It wasn’t until college that I really began to realize it. PGN: Was there an “aha” moment? KA: Yes, there was. I remember sitting in a common area at school, people watching, and you know, you glance up every once in a while at people going by and I remember saying to myself, OK, clearly you are taking notice of the guys walking by and not the girls. And I had that epiphany, Oh gosh, I’m gay! I know a lot of people think it’s an odd story but it literally was like that. Something just clicked and I knew there was no going back. PGN: What do you do now? KA: Right now I’m a school counselor and before that I was a social-studies teacher. PGN: So you followed through with your love of the subject. KA: Yes, I did.

PGN: Are you out at school? KA: Well, yes and no, sort of. There are people who know, but it’s not something people ask me about. PGN: As a school counselor, what was one of the craziest problems a kid has come to you with? KA: The funniest one well, in hindsight it was funny happened the first year. I was a fifth-grade counselor and a student had come to me hysterically crying … I mean hysterically. He couldn’t breathe and it actually took him a minute to calm down enough to be able to talk to me, and what I finally got from him between sobs was that somebody in his class had told him that Santa wasn’t real. PGN: Awww! KA: I know. That was the last thing I expected to hear. I guess I expected that by fifth grade everybody knew about Santa already! I was trying my best not to laugh because he was just devastated. And

and Facebook posts and Instagram shots. There’s no getting away from it. PGN: OK, batter up. How long have you been playing with the softball league and what position do you play? KA: My first summer was 2008 and for the most part I play outfield. I started as an infielder and sort of made my way to the outfield. I can pitch a little but I’m not crazy about doing it. PGN: What’s fabulous about being part of CBLSL? KA: There are a lot of things. Honestly, the best thing about it is the social aspect. I’ve said from year one that the best friends that I’ve ever had are people that I’ve met through playing softball. The people that I call my best friends today are all people I’ve met through playing. It’s given me a lot but, for me, if there’s a reason to join the league, that would be it. For some people, they enjoy the competition of playing a sport, but that’s not the most important part for me. I play in other leagues to be competitive but I play in the CBLSL for the camaraderie. PGN: How good do you have to be to play? Do you have to try out to get on a team? KA: There are no tryouts. We have a range of skills, from some of the best players around to players who can’t hit or throw. We actually divide the league up into divisions so that we have a recreational division, which is comprised of people with less competitive skill levels who are more interested in the social aspect of being part of a team, and then we have a competitive division as well for people who are at a little higher skill level.

PGN: What was one of your favorite moments? KA: A couple of things come to mind. Every year Photo: Suzi Nash there’s a world series that the kids deal with so much these days. the league competes in and Social media is very tough for them. each league gets to send a couple of teams. They put everything out there and they’re The team that I’ve been a part of for the not prepared and don’t have the skills to last couple of years — I’m on a different deal with the backlash. It’s something that team this year — has gone to several world I see a lot of them struggle with; they just can’t figure out how to navigate the waters series. My first year playing, we got to go out to Seattle to play and we ended up in of social media. It’s totally different from second place. Now, that’s out of about 55 when I went to school. Every one of them teams so that’s pretty good! Another year has a cell phone so they never escape we went down to D.C. and ended up in it. If something goes down at school, third place.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

English folk musician brings classic sound to Jersey By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor For a woman at a crossroads of sorts, Joan Armatrading is alarmingly prompt and ready to go rather than say, resting on her laurels or cooling her formidable heels. She phones early, talks plainly at length about her art and roundly makes certain that I know how focused she is on one particular thing when one particular thing is the focus – that being her last all-aroundthe-world tour and its local date, April 18 at the Grand Ballroom of the Scottish Rite Theatre in Collingswood, N.J. “There’s no writing new songs or thinking about them either when I’m touring — just playing relentlessly, which I love until the end of this year,” she said in her soft St. Kitts, British accent. “Then I’m not.” That same voice — only deeper and throatier — has filled the finest of English folk from the early ’70s until the present, a sound that only grew huskier, funkier and poppier with 1976’s “Joan Armatrading” (an album that made her an area radio favorite), and rockier with the all-electric likes of “Me Myself I” and “The Key.” “I think 1976 was the year everyone finally caught on,” Armatrading said. “The eyes of the world were on me. Luckily, I didn’t really get involved with who liked me or how they liked me. For better or worse, I never got caught up in any of it, because I was never exactly in the right place at the right time. Yet, it all worked out.” There were deep blues (“Into the Blues,” 2007) and jazzier interludes (“Starlight,” 2013) but, all in all, her repertoire is one long book and tremulous tone, and that volume is singularly Armatrading-esque — she is her own genre with its own patent. Mix her churning combine of showy, soulful folk with its poignant, focused prose — that’s personal but not probable or notably autobiographical — and the picture is complete. Armatrading mentions how one of her most classic songs, “Down to Zero,” was about two women in two different couplings living the exact same life or having the same feelings, and it’s akin to Picasso discussing the squiggly lines in “Guernica.” But she has her limits. “I can’t help you,” she said when I ask how her personal life has guided her art form. “All I can say is that I’ve always been curious. I’m an observer. That’s what

PGN

guides me. Even when I was in school, I was the watcher. Looking at how people communicated with each other, interacted. The ups and downs of their lives — it’s all very personal and then it’s not.” (Armatrading has never been keen on discussing her civil union to her longtime partner, Maggie Butler, an artist who designed the cover of Armatrading’s 1979 live album, “Steppin’ Out.”) Returning to her goals for 2015, she is singular. “This is me on my own,” she said of her current tour, where all that will accompany her on stage is a guitar and a piano. “I’m mostly used to being with a band on stage, but I like it out there on my own, to tell you the truth. I write my own songs, produce and arrange them. I know where everything goes. And I know what I want, so it’s probably better this way.” Armatrading doesn’t see herself as a woman or as an artist who compartmentalizes what she does. She doesn’t panic about the same things as other artists. “I don’t get writer’s block. There are just the songs of mine I love and the few that I don’t, which you will never hear,” she said with a laugh. She doesn’t see herself as slowing down just because she’s quieting her tour schedule or is nearing retirement age. “I’m 64. Everything for me is next step. For the most part, that next step has been making music, then staying out on the road for a year. I keep going with no breaks. I don’t see the point of breaks.” Armatrading is not tired or fed up, not in the least. She just wants to break the cycle and continue on the songwriting trajectory that found her last touching on the jazzier contours of her sound. “I’ve always been an eclectic writer. I never stuck to one sound, mood or genre. Even when I do go and pick a genre, I can’t stick to one style within it. I think that’s why people like me.” Asked lastly if she hears her life’s work as inspiration to any of folk-pop’s current crop, she laughed as she spoke. “We are all inspired — I hope — by everything that we see and hear. But there is a fine line between inspiration and imitation, those inspired and those merely imitating,” she said, echoing the sentiment of people looking at Robin Thicke/ Pharrell Williams’ “Blurred Lines” and Marvin Gaye’s catalog. “The ways that people research their art form are so very different from how they did so 40 years ago. You just have to be careful how you separate the two things.” n

enjoyed that trip. We weren’t the best but we won the games that we could and we did very well. I think those are my two favorite moments. PGN: Any stories about someone who joined the league and found it transformative? KA: Me! As I said, I joined the league in 2008 because I needed something else. I don’t want to say I didn’t have friends; I certainly did but I needed something … I don’t know how to describe it, I just needed something else. I forced myself to join a team and, I’ll tell you what, I’m so glad I did. And I see that a lot. People enjoy it for different reasons: the competition, the socialness, the fun. PGN: It’s nice for people to have an alternative to the bar scene. KA: Yes, and I think this is the league’s 32nd year, so it’s been successful. I believe this year we are up to 33 teams. There’s been a lot of growth the last few years. You can come out any given Sunday and find a game. It’s kind of cool. PGN: How did you become the commissioner and what does the position entail? KA: Our former commissioner stepped down after a year. It’s a two-year term so we needed to find a replacement. I ran for it and won. It entails a lot of phone calls and paperwork. The main things I’m in charge of are securing the playing fields and creating the schedule, helping to plan league events both during and before the season and helping the teams find sponsors. We also have an annual event called the Liberty Bell Classic and I’m running that this year as well. So there’s a lot to be done.

PGN: Are there a lot of events off the field, fundraisers, etc.? KA: Yes and no. The good thing about the league is that you can be as involved as you want. You can play ball and go home or you can be more social. Each Sunday, we have what’s called the Bar of the Week. That’s where after the games we all go to one of the bars that sponsors a team and hang out there. And we have different events throughout the year: On St. Patrick’s Day we did a bar crawl — we had about 300 people participate — and last weekend we had an Opening Day Block Party on Camac Street. We’ve done Quizzo and Bingo nights too. PGN: Speaking of all things social, are you single or partnered? KA: I have a partner. PGN: And he is? KA: Zach. He’s a music teacher. We’ve been together for about six years. I actually met him at one of the CBLSL block parties. PGN: Does he play as well? KA: He does now; he didn’t at the time.

to everyone. I’m a school counselor but I think I try to bring that compassion outside of school as well. I’m a great believer in second chances. I think you can get a lot farther being nice to people than you can if you’re nasty to them. I think he’d say that was one of my better attributes. A not-sogood attribute is that I’m a worrier. I’m not a perfectionist by any means, but I worry that things aren’t going to go as planned. Will people show up, will people like it, will it rain? I can get a little pessimistic. I try not to, and don’t show it in public, but at home I can be a bit of a worrywart. PGN: Any hobbies off the field? KA: Just hanging out with my friends. I like to go out to eat. I enjoy coming in to Philly a lot or going up to New York. PGN: Where do you live? KA: In Ewing, N.J. It’s just outside of Trenton. PGN: If you weren’t a teacher or counselor, what would you want to do? KA: I’d probably be a psychiatrist.

PGN: What’s a fun adventure that you’ve had together? KA: We do travel, mostly for softball, different tournaments, etc., and we really enjoy it. It’s something we both look forward to.

PGN: A best birthday? KA: I’ll be honest with you, I don’t really make a fuss about birthdays. Some people celebrate their birthday week or month, I’m not even a birthday-hour kind of guy. It’s always been kind of, Eh, yeah, it’s my birthday, no big deal. Once you’ve passed 21 it’s just another day. But I’ll tell you something I’ve never told anybody: I’ve always secretly wanted a surprise birthday party.

PGN: What do you think Zach would say are your best and worst qualities? KA: [Laughs] Oh boy, I think he would say that my best quality is that I try to be kind

PGN: Well, let’s hope Zach reads this! You’re a nice-looking guy, but what’s something you’d change about your appearance? KA: My thinning hair! I can’t stand it!

PGN: And what musical instrument does he play? KA: Trumpet is his main instrument.

PGN: Three people on your ultimate baseball team? KA: Oh, Derek Jeter, I’m a huge Yankees fan. They’ve always been my favorite team. I would pick Babe Ruth, just because he’s the greatest baseball player of all time, and I’d pick my brother. It would be cool to play on a team with him. PGN: What’s on your bucket list? KA: I’d like to go to London, I’ve never been there. I’d love to get a doctorate, Ph.D. of some kind. And I would like to win the lottery! PGN: Any pets? KA: A gray cat named Chase, after Chase Utley. I didn’t name him, though I like the Phillies, as long as they’re not playing my Yankees! n For more information on CBLSL, visit cblsl.org.
