Did gender confusion delay Morris probe?
No further arrests in murder of trans woman
By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com
By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Police have not taken any new suspects into custody in the October murder of a trans woman in Logan, police spokesperson Officer Christine O’Brien told PGN this week. Kiesha Jenkins, 22, got out of a car at 13th and Wingohocking streets around 2:30 a.m. Oct. 6 when five or six males approached and assaulted her. Then she was shot twice in the back and killed. Police said they believe the motive was robbery and that Jenkins was not targeted for being transgender. “Every one of our homicide cases are a priority,” O’Brien said. “They never are not an important case for the department.” Homicide detectives continue to pursue suspects in the killing, she said, adding she could not release more information about an active investigation. One man, Pedro Redding, 24, of the 4500 block of North 13th Street, was arrested in connection with the crime on charges of murder, conspiracy and weapons offenses. Police do not believe Redding was the shooter. Redding will have a preliminary hearing to determine if his case will move to trial at 9 a.m. Nov. 25 in Room 306 of the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert St. He is being held at the Philadelphia Detention Center after having been denied bail. n

A key 911 transmission in the Nizah Morris case could clarify whether gender confusion between responding officers delayed a criminal investigation into Morris’ fatal head wound. The transmission is noted in dispatch records released by the city Law Department in 2008, but investigators refuse to disclose its contents. Morris was a trans woman found at 16th and Walnut streets, unconscious and bleeding from her forehead, shortly after a courtesy ride from Officer Elizabeth Skala. Morris died two days later, on Dec. 24, 2002, from complications due to a fractured skull. Her homicide remains unsolved. The 911 transmission at issue took place at 4:02 a.m. Dec. 22, about 45 minutes after Skala embarked on the courtesy ride. Dispatch records indicate Skala said something over police radio at 4:02 that ended a connection at the 911 call center between Skala’s ride recipient and a “hospital case” at 16th and Walnut. Once that connection ended, Morris no longer was considered a “hospital case” transported by police. Responding officers no longer had an obligation to write a report about Morris’ courtesy ride and subsequent head injury. Only if Morris were treated as a “hospital case” transported by police — not medics — would such documentation be expected. Instead, Morris was treated as a slip-and-fall victim transported to a hospital by medics. As a result, vital evidence, including Morris’ clothing, was lost or discarded. A cursory probe by a detective easily could have debunked the slip-and-fall theory, as Morris was found on her back with a wound on her forehead. But no detective was summoned, and the incident wasn’t investigated as a potential crime until several days later. Police reports indicate Officer Thomas Berry miscommunicated with Skala when alluding to PAGE 21 Morris as “transsexual” while

News Briefing Mediation scheduled in bullying case A mediation session will be held Nov. 13 in the federal lawsuit filed by Thomas Vandergrift, who claims his nephew suffered anti-LGBT bullying while he was a student at the Pennsauken, N.J., public-school system. Vandergrift also contends that school officials wrongfully accused him of child molestation after he advocated for a proper education for his nephew. Vandergrift filed suit in 2012, seeking an unspecified amount in damages and policy changes within the school district. According to court records, attorney Joel B. Rosen will serve as mediator. Rosen is a retired federal magistrate judge who has mediated numerous legal disputes. He’s currently a partner at the Montgomery McCracken law firm and works in the firm’s Cherry Hill, N.J., office.
Settlement details pending in cop case Settlement details continue to be finalized in the antibias case of N. Melville Jones, a Philadelphia police officer who alleged pervasive anti-LGBT bias within the Philadelphia Police Department. In September, papers were filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court noting the case has been settled. But a component of the settlement requiring enhanced LGBT training for all Philadelphia police officers continues to be finalized. Currently, LGBT training at the police department is generally limited to new cadets. “There are some important details that
have not been signed off on,” said Gerald J. Pomerantz, an attorney for Jones. “We’re quite comfortable it will be resolved to benefit all parties.” City attorneys have said they cannot release the amount of money the city has agreed to pay to facilitate the settlement until everything is finalized. A police spokesperson had no comment on the matter.
Judge assigned to inmate case U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya has been assigned to the lawsuit of Kenneth J. Houck Jr., an openly gay federal inmate who was brutally beaten by two other inmates at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia four years ago. Houck is suing the federal Bureau of Prisons and various prison officials, seeking $1.8 million in damages. Tafoya, who was assigned to the case Oct. 20, is based in Denver, Colo. Houck was incarcerated in Denver at the time he filed suit. He recently was transferred to a federal prison in Marion, Ill. A spokesperson for Tafoya said if either side objects to her involvement, the case will be reassigned to a federal district judge. In November 2011, two inmates at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia entered Houck’s cell and assaulted him, causing multiple fractures to Houck’s right leg. Houck said he’s frequently in “agonizing” pain due to his injuries yet prison officials deny him appropriate medical treatment. He’s alleging cruel and unusual punishment, deliberate indifference, neglect, retaliation and other wrongdoing, according to his lawsuit. In 2011, Houck pleaded guilty to one count of transporting child pornography. His scheduled release date is May 18, 2018. Nicole Navas, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, declined to comment for this update. n — Timothy Cwiek

Out lawyer earns Women of Distinction award By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Out lawyer Angela Giampolo will be among the 25 businesswomen and one rising star honored as 2015 Women of Distinction. “It was a total shock,” Giampolo said. “I woke up one day, it’s an ordinary Tuesday, and get this huge, overwhelming honor.” Winners must be nominated by peers in the business community. “I’ve seen so many mentors to me win this award,” Giampolo added. A reception will take place from 5-8 p.m. Nov. 17 at Vie, 600 N. Broad St. Tickets cost $175. The recognition highlights the region’s most influential businesswomen, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal, the award’s presenter. The Journal added it was looking for “women who’ve made a difference in their communities, blazed a trail for the rest of us and are leaving a mark on Philadelphia business.” Giampolo grew up in Montreal and moved to Philadelphia to attend LaSalle University. She initially played college basketball in Atlanta, but when she blew out her knee as a 20-year-old, she needed to transfer schools. From there, Giampolo attended law school and
began working on human-rights issues. She said the proudest moment in her career happened in 2007 at the United Nations, where she felt personally and professionally impacted by her work with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to prosecute those responsible for the genocide in the 1990s. She spent time living and working in Beijing and Tanzania, but always returned to Philadelphia. “Philadelphia’s awesome,” Giampolo said. “Hands down, Philadelphia has the best of everything. In New York, it’s about who you know. In D.C., it’s about what you know. In Philadelphia, it’s all about what you do.” Giampolo founded PhillyGayLawyer.com and started her own firm, Giampolo Law Group, in 2008 to provide a safe space for the LGBT community to seek legal assistance. She became interested in LGBT advocacy as an extension of her work in human rights. Her legal areas of specialty include LGBT, business, family, real-estate and international law. Giampolo writes the “Out Law” column for this newspaper. She also serves as chair of the Gay and Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia (GALLOP) and sits on the board of the Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club, the International Visitors Center and the National Adoption Center. n

Letty Cottin Pogrebin, one of the founding editors of the feminist Ms. Magazine, has a new novel out that deals with learning to love differently. “Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate,” her 12th book, follows Zachariah Isaac Levy as he tries to keep a promise to his mother, a Holocaust survivor. He tells her he will marry a Jewish woman and raise Jewish children. But that promise becomes complicated when he meets Cleo Scott, an African-American activist whose father was a Baptist preacher. The book delves into sometimes-competing reasons for marriage: love and raising children. Along the way, Zach’s first wife, Bonnie, leaves him when she falls in love with a woman. He seeks counsel through his ups and downs from his neighbor M.J., a gay man from Texas who works as a chef in New York City. Pogrebin will speak at a brunch from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Nov. 15 at Congregation Kol Emet, 1360 Oxford Valley Road, Lower Makefield Township. For more information, visit www.lettycottinpogrebin.com. PGN got a chance to speak with Pogrebin in advance of her visit to the region. The interview has been lightly edited for clarity. PGN: Did you feel an imperative to balance Zach’s quest for a heterosexual relationship with representations of other sexualities? LCP: It wasn’t an architecture. It was an inevitability, somehow. I knew that I wanted [Zach’s] first marriage to fail because I felt that it was important to show that everything can be right on paper: The person can look like a perfect match for you and you can check the boxes. In [Zach’s] case, he got to fulfill the promise and check the Jewish box. But that doesn’t mean that the relationship is right for the person. In doing some research, I found more than 80 percent of Americans believe in a soul mate. We do get blindsided when we fall in love. You don’t choose and choreograph; you fall. I felt that falling, literally, in love, for a woman like Bonnie — who was so determined, driven and sure of herself, but just didn’t account for anything like this happening — it was a very real way of embodying the wildness of love. Also, I have come of age in the women’s movement, so I’ve seen virtually every kind of combination of love. The issue of M.J. was the same thing. I had a neighbor who I loved a lot who was like M.J. I wanted to honor that friendship by creating this character. I wanted Zach to have a very close neighbor he could turn to. PGN: Would Bonnie consider herself a lesbian or would she consider herself someone who fell in love with a woman? LCP: I think she would probably consider herself a woman who fell in love with a woman, until she got to Melbourne and she became more of the organizer that she is. PGN: Did you feel like you had to do any research or work to make sure you made M.J. ring true as a gay man in New York in the 1980s? LCP: Because I had this friend way back, he’s
kind of been in my heart all these years. He died early in the AIDS epidemic. Nobody was figuring out what AIDS was at the time. But he’s very vivid. I didn’t need to research him. [My friend] was from Texas. I didn’t stray too far from the truth on M.J. I didn’t want to make him sort of the big swish. I didn’t want him to be a caricature. In this era, chefs were just starting to become masculine idols. In the ’80s, that was just when chefs in New York were first becoming stars. They didn’t have to be French in Le Cordon Bleu anymore. I wanted to fully flesh out M.J. as a person who was surprisingly secure in his identity, but also to counter yet another stereotype by making him a chef, which was seen in New York as a very macho role at the time. Gay men were more seen as set designers and fashion people. PGN: The book deals with the question of what motivates people to get married. What was interesting to you about dissecting that question? LCB: I move in the New York Jewish community, where the issue of Jewish continuity is inevitably the subject of a conference, a weekend retreat, a paper or a study. It’s sometimes a beat-yourbreast, what-are-we-going-to-do undertaking. I believe that it’s hard enough to find someone to love in this crazy world. To have to check off a box as big and determinative as faith and legacy, it does add a tremendous burden. The conflict is, also, I’m very committed to Jewish survival. I don’t want us to disappear. I’m very conscious of our slim numbers. I’m very conscious that our birthrate doesn’t reproduce itself. More than anything else, I’m very conscious that most Jews are ignorant of their heritage. We lasted 3,500 years and yet people don’t know what they come from. I wanted to get to the essence of that contradiction of how hard it is to find love. You fall in love with the whole person, and if one aspect of the whole person doesn’t share your very deep commitments to family, to history and to legacy, that becomes very problematic for some. I felt it was very important for readers who are anywhere on the spectrum of that struggle. Or this could be from the perspective of the parents of both people. There are so many people involved in this decision, so many commitments. I thought it was very rich terrain to cultivate. As I go around the country speaking about this book, I discover that this is not just a Jewish issue. In Albuquerque, I was talking to an Irish woman who fell in love with an Italian and her family opposed it. PGN: There’s a moment when Zach, an ACLU lawyer, is defending a client and says, “We grant each other the dignity of difference.” That idea comes up a lot in the book. Why was it important to you? LCP: “The dignity of difference” is a phrase from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, who was the grand rabbi of Great Britain. I read a book of his by that title and it stayed with me. He goes into all the theological byways of his argument, but he basically makes the point that if you really want to honor God, you have to honor God’s creations. God made us with this many differences. He populated this planet with so many human differences and gave all of them dignity. Dignity comes with creation or God would not have created it. n

How a young boy inspired a movement By Jeremy Rodriguez PGN Contributor Members of the LGBT community and allies recently gathered at the William Way LGBT Community Center ballroom to learn more about Braeden Lange, a 12-year-old gay lacrosse player, and how his coming-out story inspired a movement. The Nov. 6 event featured a screening of a segment on ESPN’s SportsCenter. The piece
BRAEDEN LANGE
detailed how Lange came out to his parents on Feb. 9, dealt with cyber-bullying, and ultimately realized he wasn’t alone after viewing a 2005 ESPN piece on Andrew Goldstein, another gay lacrosse player. Lange’s father, Scott, reached out to Goldstein about his son and Goldstein sent Lange a video of encouragement along with his helmet from when he played with the Long Island Lizards. “When I was his age, I didn’t have a role model, and to know that this kid can have one, it makes all of the tough years I went through worth it,” Goldstein said. Goldstein also encouraged other gay lacrosse players to send Lange some videos. However, when he contacted Nick Welton, a gay lacrosse coach from Seattle, a bigger idea became reality. On May 24, months after Lange came out, Goldstein and Welton organized the inaugural Courage Game in honor of Lange. “The purpose of the Courage Game is to encourage and support gay youth, rebuke bullying, and promote wider education and awareness for LGBT equality,” the event’s website states. Before the screening of the ESPN piece, Lange participated in a Q&A panel moderated by Goldstein. Other members of the panel included ESPN’s Greg Garber, who reported on
both Lange’s recent story and the 2005 piece on Goldstein; Lange’s parents, Scott and Mandy; and Welton. Among the stories shared on the panel was Lange’s parents’ reaction to him coming out. Mandy Lange said she was initially nervous about how others were going to react but ended up being proud of her son’s bravery. “This was the proudest I’ve ever been as a parent — to have a son so brave and so secure that he felt he could come out and do this,” she said. However, Scott Lange, who always had a deep appreciation for lacrosse with his own father, initially took Braeden’s coming-out as what he references as “a terrible first reaction.” “I thought, I guess Braeden can’t play lacrosse anymore,” Scott said. “I immediately thought he couldn’t do all of these things anymore and it took me a day or so to wrap my head around the fact that of course he can. Of course he can still do all of these things.” The panel also discussed messages the Lange family received from around the world. This included a message from a 53-year-old father who stopped talking to his son after he came out. However, after viewing the ESPN piece on Lange, he realized his son never chose his sexuality. He thanked the Lange family for helping him correct a big wrong. The next day, Scott Lange received a message from the son. “That really struck close to home for me,” Scott said. “There was this guy who watched [the ESPN piece and realized] ‘I really screwed up.’” Garber, who said there is “a lot of nonsense on sports television,” noted the significance of Lange’s story after he learned of its influence on that father and son. “How many kids is Braeden going to talk off the ledge?” Garber said. “He’s already done it a number of times. That’s all you can hope for.” When audience members asked questions, the next Courage Game became a topic of conversation. Welton said he anticipated including more sports and teams, including a women’s team. “I don’t see it ending with lacrosse,” he said. “There are many channels of interest — many sports and many industries outside of sports.” Meanwhile, Mandy Lange is putting together the Courage Home, a homeless shelter for LGBT youth in Philadelphia. She would like to partner with The Attic Youth Center and expand to provide more opportunities for the organization. “If I’ve learned anything, it’s that [homeless LGBT youth] are resilient, amazing people who’ve just been dealt a shitty hand and if there’s anything that we can do about that, it will be done,” she said. “So stay tuned.” Braeden Lange said the most rewarding aspect of receiving this attention wasn’t necessarily getting a lacrosse game named in his honor. Instead, he appreciates the chance to help others. “There are other people out there who didn’t get a Courage Game or didn’t get the same opportunity I did and I just feel really bad for them,” Lange said. “I just want to help spread the word and maybe one day change the world so that people don’t really have to care about their sexuality.” n

Editorial
Ode to our four-legged friends A lot of times, reporting news can be a heavy task. Here at PGN, we cover murders, political wrangling, cases of discrimination … While it is our duty to bring our readers the happenings in our community, reporting on such instances can be wearing. So when we get the opportunity to delve into a community topic that is heartening and heartwarming, we jump at the chance — which we did this week with our annual Pet Issue. We can all likely conjure up fuzzy memories about a pet at some point in our lives — from childhood nostalgia involving a first dog, or that cat that curled up next to you through tough times. Pet ownership is a thread that runs through, and of course outside, our community; that universality is what made putting this special section together so enjoyable for our staff. Our community is as diverse as any but, perhaps more so than our communities, we value and appreciate the connections we have with our animals. Pets are a ubiquitous presence at community functions like Pride and OutFest, LGBTs are frequent and loyal supports of rescue and adoption agencies, and it’s hard to take a stroll through the Gayborhood without seeing community members out and about with their pets. In a time when political divisions run deep, nightly news seems to be gloomier by the day and social media is rife with negativity, taking a moment to sit back and appreciate the role animals play in our lives, and the role we play in theirs, is refreshing. We got to speak with someone who works daily to rehab animals who’ve faced abuse and neglect; another who trains dogs, providing a needed service to keep animals in their homes; and still another who takes photos of ailing pets to give their owners solace. It was inspiring to see people who recognize what animals bring to our lives, and who are using their own talents to give something back — a lesson that can be applied on a broad scale, to bring about myriad results. n

The fight for LGBT rights must be relentless The Supreme Court’s decision this past summer to extend marriage rights to LGBT Americans was another step in a long and broad civil-rights struggle demonstrating that our nation can be made more perfect — that every citizen deserves dignity, respect and equality under the law. All Americans can now marry the one they love and receive all the rights and responsibilities that come with marriage. And yet, in many states, their employers may still legally fire them once they hear about the wedding. Marriage equality was an important achievement, but with no federal laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing or public accommodations, we cannot yet declare victory. Indeed, we have not done enough. We have not done enough when LGBT Americans are still hesitant to put pictures of their partners and spouses at the workplace, as 10-28 percent of LGBT employees stated they have been denied promotion or fired simply because of their sexual orientation. Polling shows a majority of Americans in every single congressional district would support a law to protect against employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. It is no longer enough for leaders to simply support the Employment NonDiscrimination Act (ENDA): We need it to be reintroduced over and over again until the holdouts in Congress are embarrassed into finally making law what seven out of 10 Americans already know is right. We also have not done enough when LGBT renters and prospective home buyers are more likely to be denied housing, even after offering to pay the full asking price in cash, and 48 percent of LGBT cou-
ples face discrimination when applying for senior housing. To remedy this, the Fair Housing Act must be amended to specifically include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories in housing transactions. Similarly, we have not done nearly enough when a hotel can refuse a room to an LGBT couple, turning travelers away because they happen to be gay. Laws protecting LGBT Americans from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations are long overdue, and we need trusted advocates — actually, warriors — in the Senate to move this fight forward. In my 31-year career in the United States Navy, I served alongside many LGBT Americans who were all committed to defending our nation. I had the fortune to lead and serve under some of these fine men and women who simply wanted to get the job done. They would have died for me, and I for them. When I got to Congress, I was proud to cosponsor legislation to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and prohibit the military from discriminating based on sexual orientation. LGBT rights remain one of those key social issues of our time. Social progress is gradual, but the efforts through which we achieve it must be relentless. Together, we can continue to build on the great progress that we have already made and help our nation achieve a higher ground for all citizens, as our founders inspired us to do some two centuries ago, declaring that “We, the People” must always strive toward a more perfect union. n Joe Sestak is a former Navy Admiral and U.S. Congressman.

disagreement or argument. This must be avoided whenever possible, despite how difficult it could be to do so. The following DIY exercise will give you some practice at effective listening (listen first, think later!) and is one of my very favorite couples exercises. You are going to start by one of you opting to be the listener and the other opting to be the speaker. The speaker’s task is to speak for 90 seconds to two minutes about a topic of relevance. Speaker, this is your moment to discuss freely any thoughts and feelings you’d like your partner to hear. Listener, your job is to listen with the knowledge that when your partner is done speaking, you have to summarize what they’ve just said, so listen carefully. As the listener, in order to successfully engage in the assignment it is crucial that you do not slant the information nor insert any personal opinions as you paraphrase it back to your partner. Next, you’ll switch roles and do the same exercise again. Afterwards, take a minute to talk about how it felt just listening. Chances are, it wasn’t as difficult as you may have imagined and you may have even heard a useful bit of information that you’d been missing out on previously. Did you
experience any empathy for your partner during the exercise? Talk about any increased insight or understanding you may have gained. For best results, do this periodically and not just when things are rocky; do it when things are going smoothly in your relationship as well and don’t be afraid to laugh a little bit. Keeping a relationship healthy can be challenging work but there’s no reason why it can’t also be purposeful and fun. On the other hand, if this exercise goes poorly, it may be a good indicator that your relationship could benefit from professional help rather than the DIY route. In my next column, we’ll look at another aspect of healthy relationship maintenance and a simple DIY exercise to do at home.

Longevity risk: A key consideration in any retirement-planning strategy Q: My partner and I are in our mid-60s and considering retirement. We’re hopeful that we will continue to be in good health and be around for potentially many years to come. Our parents lived well into their 90s. I guess we’re just worried we might run out of money some day. A: Americans are certainly living longer and, in many cases, healthier lives than ever before. That’s good news! But the downside of living longer is that the chance of you outliving your retirement income is becoming more and more real. Here are some thoughts to help get you started on your retirement-income planning.
Out Money
Recent research conducted by the Society of Actuaries (SOA), a leading membership-based organization for actuaries in the United States and Canada, revealed that older Americans are living longer than previously estimated. Specifically, SOA’s data showed that, since its last report published in 2000, the life expectancy of men age 65 has risen two years from 84.6 to 86.6 in 2014. Similarly, among 65-yearold women, longevity rose 2.4 years, from 86.4 in 2000 to 88.8 in 2014.1 Making your money last
Because of increased longevity, managing cash flow in retirement is more critical than ever. As a starting point, you should clarify your current financial situation, as well as any significant changes you expect. Two sources can provide this information: • A net-worth statement, which provides a snapshot of your assets, debt and cash reserves. • A monthly or annual budget, with itemized breakdowns of your income and expenses. If you haven’t retired yet, it’s a good idea to prepare a projected budget of your retirement income and expenses.
Even with reasonable assumptions about investment returns, inflation and retirement-living costs, it is likely you will encounter unexpected changes to your cash flow over time. For this reason, experts often recommend that you maintain a cash reserve to cover at least 12 months of living expenses in an interest-bearing savings account, though your needs may vary. You will also need to check your cash flow and budget on a monthly basis, in addition to conducting a comprehensive annual review of your financial situation and goals. As you monitor your finances,
Jeremy Gussick
keep the following factors in mind, as any one of them could affect your cash flow and necessitate adjustments to your plan. • Interest-rate trends and market moves may result in an increase or decrease in income from your savings and investments. • Changes in any of the following could require you to rethink your cash-flow assumptions: • federal, state and local tax rates and regulations • Social Security or Medicare benefits or eligibility • rules affecting employer-sponsored retirement benefits and private insurance coverage • inflation and health-care costs • Life events such as marriage, the death of a spouse/partner or the addition or loss of a dependent may also affect your cash flow. Cracking your nest egg Another critical step in managing longevity risk is to determine how much you can realistically afford to withdraw each year from your personal savings and investments. You can rely on the expertise of a qualified financial professional to assist you with this task. Or, you can use an online calculator to help you estimate how long your money might last. One strategy that many financial advi-
sors recommend is to stay conservative and withdraw just 4 percent of your account balance each year. However, your annual withdrawal amount will depend on a number of factors, including the overall amount of your retirement reserves, your estimated length of retirement, annual market conditions, the expected inflation rate and your financial goals. For example, do you wish to spend down all of your assets or pass along part of your wealth to family or a charity? No matter what your financial situation going into retirement, there are ways to potentially make what you have last as long as you need it to. Your financial advisor can help you craft, monitor and maintain a cash-management plan that works for you. n Jeremy R.

Day in the Life of ...
PETPGN ISSUE
a dog groomer, Philip Stevenson
By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com In Spot’s Spot in Northern Liberties on a recent Thursday afternoon, Raven, a herding dog, glances up to eye the newcomer from her repose in front of the counter. She’s the shop dog. Magda, a toy poodle, stands on a table in the hot-pink grooming salon, while Krissy Lenar applies polka-dot feathers to the dog’s ears. It’s a compact space, the size of an apartment living room, with three grooming tables poised next to silver stools for the stylists. A staircase leads to the spa in the basement. Philip Stevenson has owned Spot’s Spot on Girard Avenue, a few storefronts down from the elevated train tracks, since 2011. He sometimes works 11 hours a day, seven days a week, and lives in the apartment upstairs. “It’s a blessing and a curse,” said Stevenson, an out groomer. He said it simplifies his life to live and work in the same place, but it does mean he thinks about work all the time. “When you own your own business, you work more than you’ve ever worked,” he said. “But it’s worth it because you really get to see the fruit of your labors.” Stevenson grew up on a farm owned by his paternal grandparents in Vincentown,
N.J. He lived there with his grandparents, parents and five younger brothers. Stevenson took charge of managing all the animals from dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs to goats, chickens and pigs. “I’m drawn to all living things, but particularly dogs and cats,” Stevenson said. “I have a connection with them since I was a little kid. It’s unexplainable. It’s almost an ethereal connection with animals.” Stevenson said he and his family knew he was gay his whole life. “It was always a known thing from the time I was little,” he said. “No one expected me to get married to a woman. It wasn’t a hard process. They were just used to it.” Stevenson added his grandfather’s sister lived a very open life as a lesbian in the 1970s. He started making trips to Philadelphia as a teenager for gay youthgroup activities and moved to the city when he was 19. Stevenson initially took a job as a bather because he wanted to be around dogs. He worked his way up to a groomer for a chain pet store. Five years ago, he decided he wanted more freedom than the corporate structure allowed. So he enrolled in classes at Community College of Philadelphia to learn how to become a business owner and write a business plan. His building used to be a pet supply store. It took about a month to remodel it into a safe space to keep dogs for grooming.
STEVENSON WITH SILHOUETTE AND MISSY MAE Photo: Scott A. Drake
He now employs five people and offers a variety of services from nail trimming, washes and haircuts to flea and skin treatments. The stylists can do standard or creative cuts on any breed of dog or cat. Clients bring their animals into the shop starting at 9 a.m. Stevenson said there’s sometimes a lull in the early afternoon, but otherwise the stream of animals is constant until 8 p.m. Spot’s Spot has a couple-thou-
sand clients, he said. Grooming takes two to three hours depending on the size of the animal and the services requested. Owners start with a consultation before dropping off their pets. “First, we ask them information about their dog that would affect the grooming, like age, any kind of health problems, allergies or special behavioral considerations,” Stevenson said while sorting through a shipment of conditioner that had just arrived. “We collect a lot of information. The next thing is what they had in mind. Then we try to find a happy medium of what is best for the dog and closest to what they would like.” He said his stylists can do pretty much anything to a young dog, but older dogs sometimes find grooming stressful. Stevenson added that he likes to schedule cats during slower times so they’re not overwhelmed by a shop full of dogs, like the store has on Saturdays and Sundays. He said grooming cats is very different from grooming dogs. “It takes great skill and training,” he said. “We try to accommodate the needs of the cats. Some have never been out of their homes.” Lenar, one of Stevenson’s employees, said it’s important to be careful and gentle with the cats. When Stevenson isn’t working, he rescues and rehabilitates Chihuahuas. He works with New Life Animal Rescue. A lot of his employees also foster animals on their own time. “By landing in Northern Liberties and Fishtown, I feel like I hit the lottery,” Stevenson said, noting he’s seen the area develop over the years. “I think higher powers in the universe kind of lead you where they want you to be.

Local designer creates high fashion for pets By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com If you want your four-legged companion ready to walk the red carpet or show off at a ball, you really need to enlist the services of Kevin Ugarte to have your pets looking stunning. The Philadelphia-based fashion designer said he got into designing clothes for pets when he became a pet owner himself. “I was given a pet and I went to the market trying to find some clothes to fit my pet,” he said. “I couldn’t find anything up to the standards I was looking for so I starting buying fabric and creating designs for her. When I started walking my dog and taking her places with the outfits I designed for her, people started asking questions. Where did I get them? Where did I buy them? It started inspiring me to make them and start selling them.” If you are looking for practical everyday fashions, you might want to stick to Petsmart because Ugarte likes to go high style with his designs. “All of my designs are based on dresses and gowns,” he said. “My inspiration comes from famous designers but most of [my designs] are from my own creation. It’s all a part of my imagination and then I just tweak them a little bit sometimes with human designs.” Vests and sweaters, especially when used for warmth during the colder months, are one thing. But we had to ask if pets really
enjoy being dressed to the nines in elaborate couture. “I believe so,” Ugarte said. “Just like humans, sometimes they like dress up and sometime they don’t. I’ve seen pets try to bite their owners when they try to take their clothes off.” Ugarte said he normally designs clothes for small dogs, but if you have larger pets you want to make over, he’ll happily get them presentable for you. “If you bring a picture and a clear idea of what you want, I can customize it for you,” he said. “My designs are targeted towards
small dogs because most of the people only like to dress up their small dogs. But when any customer wants a design for their bigger dogs, that’s what I do. But my number-one market is my small dogs.” n Kevin Ugarte’s clothing will be featured in the New York Pet Fashion Show on Feb. 12.

Dog show returns with tradition, new breeds By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com While you may struggle to contain the energy of just one four-legged companion in your home, imagine having 2,000 dogs all under one roof. That’s the reality of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s National Dog Shows — but, having presented dog shows in some form since 1979, KCP knows the ropes of staging a high-quality, well-organized event. “We start meeting the next day after the show is over to plan the next year’s event,” said Wayne Ferguson, president of KCP and in-house announcer for the shows, who’s been involved in the dog-show world for more than 45 years. The two-day event is held Nov. 14-15 at Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks and broadcast Thanksgiving Day on NBC. The event has evolved throughout its rich history; for instance, it originally drew participation largely from the Philadelphia region, but now boasts contestants from nearly every state in the nation. However, its status as a benched show — where the dogs and their handlers

remain in the building throughout the duration of the day and greet the public, rather than “showing and going” — has remained unchanged. Ferguson noted it’s
one of just four benched shows left in the country. There will be about 180 breeds competing, separated into seven groups: terrier,
toy, working, sporting, hound, non-sporting and herding. The winner of each of those categories competes for Best in Show. Seven new breeds will be introduced this year, bringing the number of new breeds introduced at the competition since 2003 to 40. The competition itself will take place on Saturday, and Sunday’s event will feature canine athletic challenges, family-friendly activities and more. About 60 vendors will set up throughout the weekend, offering pet products and resources, as well as non-pet items. Ferguson said the events attract a diverse group of spectators. “We get a lot of families. We have couples, single people, just all dog enthusiasts. And many people, it’s their first time at a dog show,” he said. He noted that the show is a good outlet for dog lovers to explore their interests. “It’s just like any other show: If you’re interested in flowers, you go to a flower show; if you’re interested in cars, you go to a car show; if you’re a dog enthusiast, come to a dog show.” n For more information or tickets, visit http://nds.nationaldogshow.com.
Photog opens New Hope pet studio By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com This summer, Nanette Kardaszeski married her two passions: pets and photography. The longtime photojournalist opened fatdogfoto, a pet-photography studio, in July. Located on Bridge Street in New Hope, the business offers a range of pet-photography options, including in-studio portrait sessions and on-location shoots. While dogs are her most common subjects, Kardaszeski has seen — and welcomes — pets of all stripes. “I had a chicken last week,” she laughed. Pet photography was a career move Kardaszeski came to organically. The 51-year-old Bucks County native and resident spent decades as a newspaper photographer, working at several dailies and as an Associated Press freelancer. “With the way everything is going with the newspaper industry, it really makes you think twice about how to sustain a career as a photographer, and I was trying to figure out where to go next,” Kardaszeski said. A few years ago, she began lending her photography talents
to Lambertville-based Animal Alliance, taking pictures of adoptable pets and of organizational events to help the agency promote its rescue work. “I thought, what better way to help animals than by using my other love, photography?” she

Kardaszeski photographs pets by themselves or with their owners and said she’s found many owners choose the latter option. “I’ve found that people want to be in them. Many people consider their pets part of their family, so these are like family photos. For people who have kids, their pet is
just another kid, and for those without kids, these are their kids.” The pets often behave like kids during their sessions, she added. “They’re very treat-motivated and they’ll pretty much get over any of the ‘why am I here’ stress after about 15 minutes,” she said. “I structure the sessions so they’re fun and it’s not a formal portrait session; I shut the door to the studio and the pets have the NANETTE KARDASZESKI AND HAILEY run of the place so it’s kind of free-flowing and ness, she added; just recently, I leave it up to the animal how it she’s photographed visitors from progresses.

Animal Alliance: Rescue, rehab and adoption By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Adoption is just one of the many goals Animal Alliance has for the dogs and cats that come through its doors. The Lambertville, N.J.-based agency adopts out nearly 500 animals each year. But, before they can find their forever homes, the organization works with the animals to ensure they’re ready for adoption. “We do rehabilitation because some of the animals who come to us have been victims of physical abuse, sometimes come from hoarding situations; we try to understand more fully what’s going on with the animals, help socialize them,” said Sheri Woodruff, the board president of Animal Alliance. “Our job is to make them more comfortable in their skin and help them to understand that they’re safe now, which will bode well for their ability to get adopted. Adoption is certainly a big part of what we do but it’s one part of a full-service operation we have.” That operation includes a low-cost spay/neuter clinic. “We don’t want anyone to turn over their animal because of the lack of low-cost spay/neuter services,” Woodruff said. “If we can help keep pets in loving homes, and prevent bringing additional animals into the world who would struggle to get adopted, that’s really important. As much passion as we all have for these animals, we also take a business-like approach to adoption, and really understand the challenges and then work to address the needs.” Alongside the clinic is an adoption storefront, where interested adoptive families can meet their potential pets. “We want to make it easy for people to come in, bring their family members, and interact with the animals,” Woodruff said. “We found that having a pet store-like scenario really helps people make that choice.”
TATER (FROM LEFT), TUCKER AND WILLIE
Cat adoptions in particular, Woodruff noted, have climbed since the facility opened, which she owes to the enhanced accessibility afforded by the open displays at the venue. Many of the agency’s adoptive families hail from the immediate area, which is across the river from New Hope. “We’re kind of the home animal-rescue organization of New Hope and Lambertville,” she said. “I think people take a lot of civic pride in our organization. They show us a lot of loyalty; I have people on my street who’ve adopted through Animal Alliance.” Woodruff, a South Jersey native who grew up in Delaware and lived in Chicago, New York City and other locales before moving to Bucks County in 2006, herself adopted two of her three dogs from the agency. She found Tater, a Jack Russell, through an Animal Alliance posting on Petfinder.com.
Several years ago, she and her wife began volunteering with the organization, working at adoption events, transporting animals to vet care and other appointments and managing fundraising events. One weekend, her wife proposed bringing an Animal Alliance dog who was awaiting adoption home to spend the weekend with them. “She pulled up at the house and opened the door and out jumps this 7-pound white Chihuahua. So Willie spent the weekend with us and Sunday night came and went and she said, ‘Oh, I’ll take him back tomorrow morning.’ And then Monday came and went.” Willie has been a part of their family, along with Tater and Tucker, since. “The chemistry among the three dogs is amazing,” she said. “Willie’s been a great addition.” Woodruff said many same-sex couples and LGBT families adopt through the organization and support its mission. “I think our community has always tended to be more likely than others to adopt animals,” she said. “We’re seeing more gay and lesbian couples having children now but, even as our families are changing, people are still adopting; now we see children and pets. The LGBT community has been an important part of the support for Animal Alliance.” n Animal Alliance will host a Holiday Shopping Bazaar 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Nov. 21 and 22 at fatdogfoto, 30 W. Bridge St. in New Hope, featuring holiday gifts for both pets and people. Pet photographer Nanette Kardaszeski will be available for portraits from noon-4 both days, by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, email rsvpaanj@gmail.com. All proceeds from the weekend will benefit Animal Alliance. For more information about Animal Alliance, visit www.animalalliancenj.org.

Out dog handler to show three breeds at National Dog Show By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Joe Buchanan had a house full of dogs on Halloween. It was one of the few times he wasn’t traveling on business as the regional director for a health-care company. Buchanan invited the dogs into the Drexel Hill home he shares with his fiancé, Stephen Hicks, to practice putting on their show leads, walking their patterns and going through an appearance exam. “They have to move a certain way and they have to behave a certain way,” Buchanan told PGN the day before the dogs arrived. “They have to be calm and they have to be comfortable with me.” “Most of the prep work, though, is the day of the show,” he added. “You get there very early. You put your dogs up on the table and get them groomed exactly the way you want them. You can walk them around and get them calm with all of the people. You do that with each of the dogs.” Buchanan will show three pharaoh hounds, a whippet and a Chinese crested at the National Dog Show, hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, Nov. 14-15 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, 100 Station Ave. in Oaks. The show will be broadcast on NBC on Thanksgiving Day. The Chinese crested lives with an owner in Virginia, while the rest of the dogs come from Pennsylvania.
Dogs lived in Buchanan’s childhood home in Phoenixville before he did. His parents already had a Shetland sheepdog when he and his sister were born. By the time Buchanan was 10, he’d convinced his parents to adopt a whippet from some family friends who bred and showed the dogs. “I begged my parents to let me go to a dog show with them and they did,” he said. “I was immediately addicted. I’ve always been very competitive and I like to win.” Karen Lee, a second-generation dog handler, noted that Buchanan also commands charisma. She thought he could be a television host or a comedian. Buchanan will show one of her whippets, whose call name is Arya, after the “Game of Thrones” character, at the Philadelphia show. “I don’t normally like to hand my dogs off to anyone,” Lee said. “But I can relax and enjoy watching how beautiful my dog looks with Joey. He has some of the best hands on a dog I’ve ever seen. He has an ability to instantaneously connect with dogs and make them work well with him.” Lee said Buchanan has a natural gait that doesn’t overpower the dog. “He’s very elegant and the whippet is an elegant breed,” she said. “They make a pleasing picture.” Lee met Buchanan while he was a student at the former St. Pius X High School in Pottstown. She heard that he had apprenticed with several leading handlers from the
region and wanted to meet him. Buchanan could hold his own at a table full of rowdy adults, she said. Buchanan came out at some point as a young man. His family and friends in the dog world embraced him immediately. There are a number of out dog breeders and showers in the field, Lee said. “Even if people were still in the closet at work, you could always be open at the dog show,” she said, noting it’s an art form that draws a lot of open-minded people. “A lot of people were there with their boyfriends and girlfriends.” Buchanan said his love of dog handling at first seemed odd to Hicks, whom he met five years ago.
“All that people know of dog shows is what they see on TV,” Buchanan said. “You just see, really, the finals, where you have the best of each breed in the ring. The work is not just five minutes in the ring and you’re done. It’s constant training.” Hicks has become overwhelmingly supportive, Buchanan said, adding his fiancé gets excited from the sidelines when he sees Buchanan’s dogs doing well. The Philadelphia show, considered a big deal in the dog world, is one of the few televised shows, Buchanan said. The show is also benched, which is rare. It means the dogs are in the arena all day. In most shows, the dogs are only there when they’re being shown. If spectators want to see pharaoh hounds at the Philadelphia show, they can go to the pharaoh hound area any time to see the dogs and interact with the owners and handlers. Buchanan said it’s a great way for families who are considering adopting a pet to figure out what breed they like. The handlers usually decorate their areas in the tradition of their dogs. For pharaoh hounds, people will see Egyptian-themed statues. “It’s just a lot of fun,” Buchanan said. “It’s a big show for handlers and, as a spectator, you get to see everything you want to see.” For more information, visit www.nds. nationaldogshow.com. n

say,” Kenney said. “We want to make sure their issues are included in our final report and in the administration going forward.” Alba Martinez, a married lesbian who co-chairs the transition team, said she’s amazed by Kenney’s deep commitment to include others in his thinking. She said his strength is in coalition governing. “That’s a recipe for success,” she added. Martinez, who formerly served as the commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Human Services under Mayor John Street, will lead Kenney’s transition team alongside state Rep. Dwight Evans, who covers part of North Philadelphia. Jessie Bradley, who worked on Mayor Michael Nutter’s 2008 campaign, serves as transition director. Bradley is the only paid staffer, and Kenney said that money is being raised in-house without taxpayer funds. “This is about one thing and one thing only,” Martinez said, “which is to get the best and brightest people that want to work with government to rally around a common mission. That mission is to help Philadelphia thrive.” In addition to the transition committee leadership, the team includes a steering committee and 11 others for education; commerce and economic development; public safety; city administrative services; community, culture and recreation; environment and sustainability; housing, planning and development; human services; immigrant and multicultural affairs; infrastructure and transportation; and Democratic National Convention preparation. The immigration committee has the most members, closely followed by public safety and city administration. After the introduction, Martinez commended Kenney for appointing diverse representatives of the LGBT community. She said she also brings a Latina voice to the table. “First and foremost, Jim is highly networked in the LGBT community,” she said. “He taps into the diversity of the community. He sees there’s talent to be offered on a whole host of issues.” Several members of the Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club are part of the team, including Renee Gillinger, Lauren Vidas and Sara Jacobson, the co-chair. They will focus on commerce and economic development, city administrative services and public safety, respectively. Gillinger, executive director of the East Passyunk
Avenue Business Improvement District, will particularly work on policy recommendations for commercial opportunities in the city. She previously served on transition teams for Gov. Tom Wolf and Mayor Street. “It’s a good opportunity to get a lot of insight from folks with diverse backgrounds,” Gillinger said. Jeff Guaracino, who led the nation’s first tourism campaign aimed at the LGBT market, will work on DNC preparations. Dr. Marla Gold will co-chair the human services committee. She helped create a certificate in LGBT health at the Drexel University School of Public Health. Sister Mary Scullion also works on human services. She directs Project HOME and has worked on advocacy for several LGBT people, including Margie Winters, the Catholic educator who was fired for being gay. Scullion told PGN her duties will cover personnel recommenda-
“This is about one thing and one thing only, which is to get the best and brightest people that want to work with government to rally around a common mission.

Marcus Iannozzi, an LGBT business advocate, will work on commerce and economic development. Maureen Rush will co-chair public safety. She testified with state Rep. Brian Sims to add LGBT protections to the state hate-crimes law. Two representatives from Philadelphia FIGHT, a comprehensive AIDS service organization, are on the team: executive director Jane Shull will work on human services and deputy director Mike Marsico will serve on city administrative services. Martinez’s wife, Roberta Trombetta, who formerly served as chief of operations for Philadelphia Family Court, will co-chair the human services committee.

Morris exited Skala’s vehicle at 15th and Walnut. While both officers realized the person exiting Skala’s ve h i c l e wa s t r a n s g e n d e r, Berry apparently didn’t clarify to Skala that he thought the person was post-operative, and that he would refer to her as a female over police radio if a future incident arose. A few minutes later, when Berry responded to Morris at 16th and Walnut, he referred to her as a “DK [drunken] female” over police radio. But according to police records, Skala believed Morris was pre-operative and referred to the victim as a male after her head injury, which occurred about 3:25 a.m. If at 4:02 Skala told a dispatcher she transported a drunken male to 15th and MONEY from page 12

Wall of Silence What Nutter didn’t tell us about Manayunk bike race
C
ancelled. It was just two years ago that Mayor Michael Nutter dropped this bomb on the Philadelphia International Cycling Championship. The reason? The organization could not come up with the $300,000 it owed to the city. At the time, Nutter told us there was a silver lining: “While we are all greatly disappointed by the cancellation of the Philadelphia International Cycling Championship this year owing to the organizer’s inability to secure a title sponsor, I want all who are devoted to cycling to know that we are committed to working with the very best promoters to develop a complete event in 2014 that will reestablish our city as a world-class cycling destination … we will be back with a premier international, professional cycling race.” We now know exactly what that means.
… from the beginning, Mayor Nutter tried to hide what he was up to when it came to the bike race.
As reported by Chris Hepp for the Philadelphia Inquirer: “The Nutter administration, which has determinedly pressed big public events to be cost-neutral for taxpayers, made an exception this year for the Philadelphia International Cycling Classic. After 30 years of being largely privately financed, the professional bike race that features the Manayunk Wall was formally taken over by the city, which assumed its financial liabilities. The cost to taxpayers? So far, $1.029 million, about $600,000 spent for this year’s race and an additional $400,000-plus rolled over to cover the expenses for the June 5, 2016, race.” “This is the best $1 million that we could spend, given what we have gotten out it,” Nutter’s Chief of Staff Everett Gillison said, noting that this year’s race was livestreamed online to more than 100 countries. “This is how you market the city in a global sense.” So let’s get this straight. We cancel a bike race that cost us $300,000, then put the city on the hook for $1.029 million, and we do so to live-stream the event online to the
world. A million dollars for live-streaming? And that is the best $1 million we could spend? Please tell us Mr. Gillison that you were off your meds when you came up with this bunch of malarky. As Seth Williams taught us all when he released his sensitivity training memo for pornophiles in his office on the Friday night before Labor Day Weekend, elected officials bury things they are ashamed of. They call press conferences for things they are proud of. Make no mistake, from the beginning, Mayor Nutter tried to hide what he was up to when it came to the bike race. It all started in the summer of 2014. As Hepp reports: “That summer, the
bike race figured in one of the more curious episodes of Nutter’s time in office. In July 2014, the mayor, his wife, Lisa, and an entourage of officials connected with the race flew unannounced to Paris as part of what later was described as a trade mission. The overseas trip was acknowledged only after the mayor of Paris posted a Twitter photograph of Nutter in her office.” Turns out, it wasn’t a trade mission at all. It was a meeting “with Brian Cookson, president of Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world’s premier organization of professional cycling, to discuss upgrading the status of the women’s race.

Wall of Silence Continued from page 1 ultimately did so, granting the upgraded race license exclusively to the city.” So, our mayor goes to France and tells no one, then when outed by the mayor of Paris, says he’s on a trade mission that isn’t a trade mission at all, then negotiates $1 million deal with an international cycling organization, that until last week no one but professional cyclists have heard of, in order to upgrade a bike race that no one, other than the neighborhood of Manayunk and some cycling enthusiasts, pays much attention to. All of this has come as a big surprise to the one man who single-handedly saved the bike
“What was the matter when it cost the city nothing?” Brady asked rhetorically. “We raised private money, $750,000, for the exact same race. I don’t know why we had to spend $1 million this year. You are giving $70,000 in prize money to people who don’t even live here, and you are telling people from Philadelphia they have to pay for parades and festivals that celebrate their heritage. I just don’t think that is fair.” Neither do we congressman.
Palmer Enjoying Owls Success Continued from page 12 could start to see the success start last year,” he said. “You could see the trajectory was moving in a positive direction; the quality of recruits that were coming in. The amazing thing is that Temple is redshirting most of their freshmen. There’s a lot of good football players who are on the roster but not playing yet. So it’s only going to get better. Also, this team had key pieces back and you could tell these guys expected success.” Palmer has also noticed a huge change in team demeanor. “In years past if another team scored a touchdown or field goal, the Temple defense would walk off the field with their heads down. These guys give up a field goal and they run off the field. We are no longer mentally defeated.” The other major improvement according to Palmer is depth.

“When I played, and on most of the teams since, we had great first units with guys who made the pros and could compete at high levels. But when someone went down, we couldn’t keep up with the Penn States, Alabamas, Syracuses, etc., but this team doesn’t miss a beat.” When Palmer was recruited to Temple he was shocked to see that players like NFL stars Steve Watson, Joe Klecko and Randy Grossman all went to Temple. He’s thrilled that most current Owls know about his achievements at Temple, but he’s more thrilled that names like P.J. Walker and Tyler Matakevich will be part of a squad that will never be forgotten either. “This is the team that will make everyone think about Temple as a top-20 program.”

by
JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, December 1, 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-

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.

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.

Temple Great Palmer Enjoying Owls Success Pride and excitement infect Temple commentator and alum By Jeremy Treatman
P
aul Palmer originally wanted to name his seven-year-old daughter Kayla “6”. “Can you imagine the autograph,” he asked. “But that was quickly nixed by both grandmothers,” he added. “And my wife, Leah, said it sounded too close to sex.” Palmer, arguably Temple’s greatest football player was not suggesting naming his kid after a character from TV’s “Blossom.” Rather, he wanted to honor her with the number he wore while he accumulated 51 school and NCAA records, including 775 all-purpose yards gained over a three-game stretch and second place in the 1986 Heisman Trophy voting, which he lost to Miami’s Vinny Testaverde. Now, Palmer feels honored and humbled by the 2015 gridiron Owls. They have won over a university, the city of Philadelphia, and college football fans everywhere with their historic season that has seen Temple win its first seven games, lose a heartbreaker to Notre Dame on a nationally televised Halloween game, knock off rival Penn State for the first time since 1941, and become a seemingly overnight national power in the college landscape. When ESPN did their “Game Day Live” show in Philadelphia about Temple football on Oct. 31, folks like Palmer, and others connected to Temple football, got emotional. “It’s amazing what these guys are doing. Oh my god! They were [so] close to beating Notre Dame and being 8 and 0,” said Palmer, who serves as Temple’s radio color analyst on 97.5 FM The Fanatic (Palmer also was the radio sideline reporter in the early 2000s) and as an assistant football coach with the Haddon Heights High School team in N.J. “Every time [Temple’s star running back] Jahad Thomas scores a touchdown, I tell him that I feel like I’ve scored a touchdown,” Palmer said. “Every time Temple wins, I tell him and the guys on the team that I win. Me, and many of the former players [from the past four decades]
12
are living and breathing with, and through, these guys. I never expected to see a moment as big as Notre Dame was. I’m not sure they really know the magnitude of what they have done and what they are doing for the university and the city and the alums and the fans of Temple.” Palmer is man enough to admit the feelings are bittersweet. “I gotta be honest, I’m envious of these guys,” he said. “I’m deeply envious. This is what the group I played with thought we could do. We tried so hard to win big for Temple and get a chance to play in the big games. We just couldn’t do what this current group is accomplishing. I think there were many teams and players in other eras that wanted to also be the guys who brought Temple to the level we are now, into an elite class. I am so proud of these guys. They have so many leaders like [quarterback] P.J. Walker, Jahad [Thomas, linebacker] Tyler Matakevich, [Matt] Ioannidis, Tavon Young, and Kyle Friend. They play with so much poise and character. Coach Matt Rhule has really turned this program around and he is doing it very fast. The players have really bought into his system of playing for one another, staying in the moment, enjoying the moment, and winning the fourth quarters. It’s surreal what is happening. I’m so happy to be a part of this.” Palmer, though, admits that with all the success it has been difficult for him to separate himself from his job as analyst with being an ex-player, alum, and fan. He said prior to the team’s opening game and huge win against Penn State, he called ex-teammates Kevin Jones, Joe Greenwood, Keith Gloster, Chris Chambers, and Eddie Parker to dine together. During the game, however, he could not sit with the guys he calls his “best friends to this day” because he was working in the radio booth with play-by-play man Harry Donahue and sideline man Harry Mayes. “I told all those guys that this was the year we would beat Penn State,” he

said. “I really believed coming in that we would do it this year. I wanted to cheer in the stands with those guys like I used to, but I love calling the games, too. During the Penn State game and all the games through the [Notre Dame game], it’s very hard to keep my emotions in check. Sometimes I throw my hands up at Harry [Donahue] and he shakes his head and keeps talking or I punch [producer] Chet Zukowski in the arm when I get excited or I could be dancing [when I’m not commentating]. I’m sure I was doing all of that Saturday [during the Oct. 31 broadcast]. But I wouldn’t trade this opportunity to do radio for
anything. When they asked me if I wanted to do this [prior to the 2013 season] I said ‘yes’ before they even finished the sentence.” Palmer said his job is significant to him for three reasons. “I want to do a good job for my family and friends and to all the Temple former players,” said Palmer. “I want my friends to say, ‘That’s my boy’, ‘He’s my boy’. It’s nice for me that my family is proud of me. If anything more comes of this [broadcasting] so be it, but I’m very happy now.” So did Palmer really see this magical season happening? “You Continued on page 2

Terri Lynn Carrington: Expressing herself By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor
After achieving commercial success and aesthetic respect as one of jazz’s towering figures, Duke Ellington often spoke about never speaking about “jazz” again: After 1947, he refused to use that musical-genre tag because, he said, it segregated him and anyone else who made America’s classical music from pure expression. What Ellington played then was the “sound of freedom,” something drummer-composer Terri Lynn Carrington insists upon in her own music and its genre-fication. Carrington and her small ensemble are touring to perform one of her seminal recent works, “Money Jungle (Provocative in Blue),” Nov. 14 at Blue Bell, PA’s Science Center Theater. That happens to be dramatic because “Money Jungle” was also one of
Ellington’s finest — a tightly wound epic with the rhythmic interplay of equally legendary player-composers Charles Mingus on bass and Max Roach on drums. “It is a daunting task to take on any Ellington, but I have love for Duke,” said Carrington. “He is the grandfather of all of us. If it wasn’t for him, little of what we do now would be here.” Like Ellington, Carrington doesn’t like labels. She never came “out” (she identifies as bisexual rather than gay, as assumed by many when she played last year’s OutBeat in Philly, the United States’ first festival gathering of LGBTQ jazzbos), yet proudly stands up for all who do. Ellington too is tithed to jazz’s gay lineage through his famous co-composer and arranger Billy Strayhorn, a gay man, who like pianist Cecil Taylor, vibraphonist Gary Burton and drummer Allison Miller stayed closeted for most of his professional life.
Also Nov. 14 in Philadelphia, at the Annenberg Center, is jazz chanteuse Diane Reeves. The composer-singer, who is straight, has created gay anthems and gay-friendly atmospheres in some of her best-loved musical moments. Like Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman,” Reeves’ “Endangered Species” speaks to the braveness of being a woman of color, yet with unapologetic dignity: “I am an endangered species/But I sing no victim’s song/I am a woman I am an artist/and I know where my voice belongs.” That message has come to stand for the dignity of the gay struggle: Don’t victimize, empathize. Reeves is also known for spicing up a live monologue that usually precedes her cover of the Temptations’ “Just My Imagination” with a story about a childhood romance whom she later found out was gay. “That was based upon a com-
posite of many gay people I knew in class,” Reeves told JazzTimes Magazine in 2010. “I tell that story in a live-and-let-live manner, and I’ve had many gay people come up to me after the concert, introducing me to their partners.” Carrington speaks more broadly about whom and why we love with “The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL,” her newest album and the second in the series of Mosaic Project efforts that bridge the wide gaps of pop, funk, R&B and jazz with joyous melodies and big female vocals (from Ledisi, Valerie Simpson and Philly’s Jaguar Wright). “I’ve grown as a player and as a composer so everything that I do, you do, is the sum total of your existence, everything from what you listen to — be it soul or classic rock — to who you hang with,” said Carrington. She started her career as part of avant-garde jazz’s fusion funk-hop experiment, M-Base PAGE 26

Garfield DeMarco: Cranberry bogs, political trenches and the Pine Barrens When I first Googled “Garfield DeMarco,” the first thing I read was that he is a gay Republican being sued by his brother for misappropriation of funds and I thought, Uh-oh. But then I saw he was being sued because he had donated 10,000 acres of land and thought, OK, for a good cause. So far, so good. Then I met DeMarco for dinner, with his husband Billy Wilson, and I found him to be a charming fellow with a warm smile and sharp sense of humor. He’s a no-holds-(or questions)-barred kind of guy with quite a résumé. DeMarco graduated Dartmouth College in 1959, Yale Law School in 1964 and received the Fulbright Grant for European study. He was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1966. A family tragedy caused him to take over the family cranberry business, which is now the second-largest cranberry-growing entity in New Jersey. With the holidays rapidly approaching, who better to talk to than Mr. Cranberry himself? PGN: How did you and Billy meet? BW: I’ll take this. I was working as a butler/house manager at a house on Delancey Street. They were having a private reception for Greg Louganis. As I was setting up, I felt a pinch on my behind and it was from Garfield. We talked and later started having lunch together and then dinners and, 15 years later, we’re married! GDM: Yes, I’m usually late for everything but that time I arrived early and had Greg Louganis pretty much all to myself. What a charming man! We had a great conversation and as we were talking I noticed this one young man with a beautiful smile and a dazzling derriere and I struck up a conversation and that’s how we met. We just got married on my 77th birthday. PGN: Nice birthday present! GDM: Yes, yes, yes. We were waiting for two judges, Nelson Johnson — who also wrote “Boardwalk Empire” — and Anne Paterson, who used to be my attorney and is now on the state Supreme Court. She’s a tremendous person. She represented me in the horrible legal battle I had with my brother, which frankly I think was engendered by homophobia. We vacation with Anne and her husband and they both were very helpful during the case, as was Billy. The whole ugly process just brought us closer. PGN: Tell me a little about the house that you grew up in. GDM: I grew up here in Hammonton, N.J. My father was the youngest of nine. My grandparents were Italian and my father was first-generation, so he didn’t speak English until he went to school. My grandfather was a very energetic sort. He was a produce broker, a recruiter for farm
labor and he also made wine barrels. My grandmother had the terrible life that so many women had back then, working and raising the kids because my grandfather wasn’t around much. My father always wanted to be a physician but his dad died when he was 18 so he had to go into the family businesses, the cranberry business being one of them. Becoming a pharmacist didn’t take as much time so he did that and had a pharmacy in Philadelphia but ended up hating it and city life. He moved back to Jersey and went back into farming and recruiting labor and then went into politics. In a surprise election, he was elected county freeholder at the age of 24. My mother was from the Pinelands and was a school teacher. She always supported education for the best reasons: not because it was a way to make more money but because it would enrich you as a person. I also have an older brother. When he was born, something happened and my mother was told she could not have more children. Well, seven and a half years later, she had me and then my younger sister. I think my brother always resented not being an only child. My sister, on the other hand, was a delight. I really miss her. My mother was very religious, baptized Catholic but raised Methodist because there weren’t any Catholic churches around. But she was also raised around Quakers and that very much informed her attitude and beliefs. PGN: What was something fun that you remember about the family? GDM: My mother was a great cook and we had these great family outings with all the family, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. We’d have two complete dinners, one Italian and one American. [Laughs] Which might explain why so many of us have weight problems! They were so much fun. I got along with every single blood relation I had from the older generation. PGN: I would imagine cranberries would be prominently featured in your Thanksgiving meals. When did the family get involved in the business? GDM: That goes back quite a way. My maternal grandfather and my great-great grandfather were cranberry bog managers for the Evans and Wills Company, and on my father’s side they recruited labor for those farms. As a kid, he worked on the farms and that’s how my parents met. Love at first sight; she was beautiful and he was dashing. PGN: Did you ever work in the bog? GDM: Oh sure, I was a big, brawny kid and in the summertime during college and law-school years I’d work there. It was good that I did because when my father died — killed in a car accident — I had to jump in, and I had a good rapport with all
the workers, which helped with continuity. My brother hated it but I loved it, working in the heat with all these macho muscular guys with their shirts off! It was great and I was a hard worker, which they appreciated. PGN: What was your first inkling that you were gay? GDM: I hated sports. Instead of playing football, I’d play dodgeball with the girls. I loved playing with my paper dolls and I loved Halloween because I could parade around in my grandmother’s dress. I was my grandmother’s favorite but I do remember her making a funny face when I asked her to teach me how to crochet. But I didn’t know that there was anything peculiar about it, I was just being me. I’d have little sexual escapades with other boys, and not think anything of it; it was natural. But around 13, the boys who used to fool around together started getting interested in girls. I used to think, What is wrong with them? I used to watch the “Tarzan” movies and would fantasize about being
ive. During the court case, my brother and his wife did everything they could to try to turn my mother and sister against me but they didn’t budge in their support. My brother and his wife were very religious — “good Catholics” — and they were very bitter that no one took their side. PGN: Who was your first boyfriend? GDM: That would have been my cousin. Then you decide to get rid of the desires so you try praying, date girls thinking that would help — that was painful, trying to feign interest in the opposite sex and be someone you weren’t. I feel bad for the girls, too. It was a tough time. A fun side note, Billy and I went to my 60th reunion and one fellow came up to me and gave me a big kiss and said, “I’ve been waiting 50 years to do that!”
PGN: Nice. So how did you get into politics? GDM: As I mentioned, my father was a county freeholder. At the time, the political boss of Atlantic County was Nucky Johnson, who unofficially ran the Republican political machine that controlled Atlantic City and Atlantic County from the 1910s-1930s. He’s played by Steve Buscemi in “Boardwalk Empire,” but they call him Nucky Thompson on the show. My father ran in the Republican primaries and beat the incumbent. When he came up for re-election, Nucky ran someone against him, so the head of the Democrats said, “If you run for us, we’ll pull our candidate and put you in, but you have to pledge to support Roosevelt and the Democratic ticket.” He was the Republican incumbent but he said yes and won in a big Democratic sweep. He remained in politics for many years. With me, I took a different slant. When I took over the farm, I must have impressed someone Photo: Suzi Nash off in a tree somewhere with him. That because I moved and went was back in the ’50s. I was an avid from being an Atlantic reader and soon came to realize that back County Democrat to the Republican then what I was feeling was considered chair of Burlington within a few years.

Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers bring Multifaceted singer to kick off it ‘Home’ in new show Full House cabaret series By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com
By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, the acclaimed local dance company, is addressing the issue of immigration, refugees and community in its latest show, “Home/S. 9th Street,” Nov. 19-21 at FringeArts. In the show, the dancers explore their experiences as well as those of their neighbors along Philadelphia’s South Ninth Street corridor. Out choreographer and artistic director Kun-Yang Lin said getting the dancers and members of the community to share their stories was an important part of the creative process for the show. “The whole process is about surrender,” he said. “You have to surrender yourself to open up. We would like to hear what other people’s viewpoints are. What is their story? The creative process for me, that’s the first important element. You have to surrender yourself and then have no expectations. I think how the piece unfolds is really from that surrendered state and creates that possibility. And then the piece grows from there. “I think the piece has a sense of wholeness. It’s not just about self or growth, it’s also about my students, my family, people in the show or my community. It becomes something bigger than the capacity of ourselves, about acceptance, diversity, race and gender.” Lin said the resulting piece is intensely personal while also being universal, and that what audience members take away from the show depends on their own experiences going in. “It’s a microcosm of the larger world,”
he said. “What people can experience is our common humanity. For immigrants who are in the minority, there is a fear and struggle. It’s like in life sometimes as a gay person. We experience that. Of course I think it’s about owning that awareness of that common humanity. It’s a metaphor to allow us to re-look at the small things that we can learn from. The beauty of the piece is that people can take the stories of that particular area and maybe manifest it into something bigger, maybe into their own childhood or where they are coming from. So the piece and how it unfolds is a surprise for the audience. “The piece is not literal to the title, giving people the sense it’s about one particular location. It’s about a metaphor of our larger world. The piece allows you to appreciate the diversity of this country. That’s why the piece is called ‘Home,’ because we carry our home with us all the time. That’s the beauty of the dance experiences because it stimulates the audience’s imagination.” n Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers presents “Home/S. 9th Street” Nov. 19-21 at FringeArts, 140 N. Columbus Blvd. For more information or tickets, visit www.kunyanglin.org or call 215-413-1318.

It opens you up and allows you to go where you want to go.” This year she’s going to the latest chapter in her “I’m Just Sayin’” series. “‘What Was I Sayin’?’ is going to be the finale of my Sayin’ series,” she said. “The first year I did ‘I’m Just Sayin.’ The second year I did ‘I’m Still Just Sayin.’ The third year I did ‘I’m Forever Still Just Sayin.’ Then I skipped a year and now it’s ‘What Was I Sayin’?’ It just makes sense. This is just the end of this series and next year I’ll have to come up with something spectacular.” Billups said that while the show changes from year to year, her shows follow a unifying theme of being about whatever is on her mind at the time. “I came up with the title because with that title I can talk about whatever I want,” she said. “This year is going to be a culmination. I’m going to give people the highlights of my other shows and some bonus attractions. This is kind of like Whoopi Goldberg meets Liza Minnelli. My first show talked about love and loss. The third show, which to me was my best to date, was about a
long-distance blind date in Fort Lauderdale with my girlfriend’s father. This show is going to be a culmination of all of it. It’s about how things DEBORAH BILLUPS change when you get older. I talk about my adventure into being an entertainer. I’ve been singing all my life but I waited until I was 40 to get the balls to get professional training. And this is about what happens when I get some cojones to get some professional training and live my dream.” Billups also stays busy with various other musical projects, which might see her traveling globally if she has anything to say about it. “I have a couple of bands. I have a jazz band, 4 A.M. I have a blues band called Blues Tattoo. Also I have a friend who is going to get me up in Europe singing. I’m going to be singing in Switzerland. You heard it here first.” n Deborah Billups performs “What Was I Sayin’?” as part of the Full House cabaret series, 8 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Skybox at Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. For more information or tickets, visit www.quinceproductions.com/fullhouse.html.

Azuka shines the ‘lights’ on acclaimed play By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Azuka Theatre is tackling conflicting issues of culture, sexuality and family with its production of “Lights Rise on Grace,” through Nov. 22. The story revolves around three central characters in a complicated relationship triangle: Grace, a young Chinese woman dealing with family issues; Large, a young African-American man who has been in prison; and Riece, Large’s prison protector who maintain a relationship with him after he gets out. Each actor portrays many other characters besides their own in the story, which highlights the struggles and societal pressure faced by the main characters. Keith Conallen, who plays Riece, said that his character, like the other two main figures, is trying to figure out where he fits in a society that wants to label and define him by circumstances. “Riece didn’t really grow up very connected to his family,” he said. “He was a street punk and when he gets into prison he is essentially taken under a man’s wing and taken care of. He does the same for the character of Large. When they are out of prison, they try to continue that relationship. But the main motivator is to have the deep personal, human connection. While things may be going on behind [Grace’s] back, there is the mutual respect there of one another and their place in each other’s lives.” He added that, unlike Large, Riece isn’t as hung up on the issue of his sexuality. “Sexuality is more for Large and his issues of accepting his sexuality,” Conallen said. “For Riece, it’s the sociological situation of being an ex-con and being in the world suddenly and what that means. In terms of his connection with Grace, there’s the idea of family and connectivity with a woman and her child and [being] this male father figure is part of his concern.” Playwright Chad Beckim said the main characters were inspired by his own experiences living and working the culturally diverse neighborhoods in New York City. “When I was living in Spanish Harlem, I’d walk by the Chinese restaurant often and there was this little girl always there when I’d be going home at 5:30 doing her homework,” he said. “I kind of invented this story for her, this Chinese girl in this African-American neighborhood, and what that might look like and what her life must be like. That became part of the narrative for Grace. She rejected the arrangement and they disowned her. She’s first-generation Chinese and her parents are really strict. At the same time, I was teaching in a place called Boystown, which is the last stop in New York City before boys who are 15 or 16 are sent to
prison as adults. They were doing all this research to understand what happened when young men go into the system at 15 or 16 when they are not really fully formed and how that can impact some of their views about sexuality. That was one of the jumping-off points for my play.” Juggling all the different issues that these characters are dealing with is a tall order. Beckim said he has witnessed those complexities firsthand. “I’ve lived in Spanish Harlem for a long time. In pre-gentrification, I was the only white guy. There’s a very specific culture up there, especially if you are not from that place. I lived with a family and was basically treated like I was 15 years old: I had a curfew. There were specific streets that I
should not go down. If I was bothered on the street, the family came to my aid right away. My wife is Chinese and Thai. That culture is interesting of itself. Then there’s also the idea that all these people harbor these secrets in the play. They’re being honest, but not really. They’re telling their truths but there are omissions that could be construed as lies. I don’t think the characters think they are lying but you have a jury of their peers who might say, ‘You didn’t tell us the whole truth.’ So it’s about all these things colliding: class, culture and sexuality.” Conallen said he thinks audiences will appreciate how the characters overcome their obstacles, and come away with the idea that families aren’t always conventional or bonded by blood. “Family doesn’t need to be this traditional thing,” he said. “It can be made up of a lot of different factors. If you have that open heart and an open mind, you can create a family out of anything.” n Azuka Theatre presents “Lights Rise on Grace” through Nov. 22 at The Adrienne Theater, 2030 Sansom St. For more information or tickets, visit www.azukatheatre. org or call 215-563-1100.

Genji brings authentic ramen to the ’burbs By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com
Gift Guides
Friday Dec. 4 & Friday Dec. 11
Unlike most PGN readers, he’s worried he didn’t check out the
Given that the holidays are almost upon us and a lot of us are going to be running back and forth to the grocery store to get provisions for the entertaining, dining and self-medicating we’ll be doing for the next few weeks, it makes sense that some higher-end grocery chains are putting in restaurants — to keep shoppers fueled while they peruse a cavernous cornucopia of wares. Out in Cherry Hill, N.J., the Whole Foods market has partnered with premiere area sushi provider Genji — the talent behind successful ventures like Hai Street Kitchen — to open Genji’s Ramen Bar at its store at 1558 N. Kings Highway, giving shoppers easy access to authentic Japanese ramen dishes. And if all you know about ramen is the cheap food staple that got you through your cash-strapped college days, you definitely need to try the real deal. Genji has had success with ramen bars in other states, like Connecticut and Virginia, especially near communities looking for authentic, quick and affordable Japanese comfort food. To that end, the menu is
simple and efficient. Start out with their lovely hibiscus iced tea. We wished we could have purchased a gallon of it to take home. Genji’s Tonkotsu ramen ($11.99) is its standard, with pork broth, thin noodles, a bowl of sesame seeds that you can grind and apply to your liking, a marinated boiled egg, seaweed and locally sourced veggies. A spicy miso version of the dish ($11.99) is available too, and it’s flavorful without being too aggressive. But if you really want to kick up the spice level, the chef will oblige you. Genji also offers three types of steamed bao buns ($3.99). We tried the Chashu pork bun, which was soft, tender and tasty. The shrimp tempura boa buns were even better, crispy with big, spicy flavors. If a steaming, savory, hot bowl of ramen isn’t your style, try the dry-style ramen called “mazemen.” Made with thick wheat noodles, the dish, like the ramen, is available in a vegetarian option. We opted for the house favorite, the bacon and egg mazeman ($11.99), topped with a
poached egg, a spring mix and tomatoes. While not as Japanese in its flavor profile as the other ramen dishes, the poached egg gives the dish a comforting creaminess that blends well with the saltiness of the bacon and the freshness of the greens. Genji’s Ramen Bar is quite the nice culinary oasis in what is sure to be a swirling hotbed of holiday consumerism this season. n

PORTRAIT from page 27
have now. It’s interesting, when the sodomy laws collapsed, it was every bit as much a Republican effort as a Democratic one. The main opponent was the Democratic Sen. Joe Maressa, who had some ties to the fundamentalists. Unfortunately, many of the party leaders got defeated not in the general election, but in the primaries. PGN: That’s where you seem to lose a lot of the moderates. GDM: Yeah, it was shocking and that’s how all this extremism began. Since I left, they’ve been getting stronger and stronger, though I did manage to suppress some things before I left. They were trying to get a bunch of books banned from the schools and I intervened and they finally backed off. It was frightening. BW: They were trying to burn books by gay authors. GDM: I went to several school-board meetings ready to challenge them but they heard about it and didn’t show up. I was in the battle for civil-partnership rights as well. It’s a shame, the Republican Party today is not the party that I knew. Even Nixon’s daughter said that neither her father or her grandfather-in-law, Dwight Eisenhower, would approve of the party as it is today. You look at these clowns during the debate and … PGN: Hey, I’ve worked with clowns, don’t insult them. GDM: [Laughs] That’s right, I’m sorry! PGN: Were you openly gay as a politician? GDM: I was very careful and the issue never came up, ever. But I’d decided long ago, if it ever became an issue that I would face it head on and not back down. Even as a Republican, if they asked me to step aside because of that, they would have quite a battle. And they knew that so they just left it alone. It didn’t really come out until the trials with my brother. BW: What about the spies setting you up? GDM: Well, that was long ago, back in the ’60s and ’70s when I was first chairman. The Democrats used to send these cute guys to my office to try to entrap me. You did a profile of Mark Beyerle a while back; well, his mother used to work for me and whenever one of these guys came in, I’d make sure she stayed in the room the entire time. Over the years, I did get approached by some pretty prominent figures but I dodged the bullet with most of them! PGN: Speaking of Democrats, I hear you and Hillary Clinton went to the same school. GDM: Yes, two schools: Dartmouth and Yale. Bill Clinton too, though I went before them, but we had small classes so I had some pretty sharp kids as classmates: Jerry Brown, Gary Hart, Eleanor Holmes-Norton and Bob Rubin, secretary of the Treasury. PGN: Let’s talk about the land you helped preserve, nearly 10,000 acres of pristine woodlands. Why was that important to you? GDM: I wanted to help keep the flora and fauna of the Pine Barrens in their natural state as they should be seen. The Pinelands are a natural treasure, and it’s important to protect them not only for the beauty but for the important underground watersheds.
FUN & PGN GAMES
PGN: So are you a Republican who believes in climate change? GDM: Well, in truth, it shouldn’t make a difference, whether the problems are man-made or not: It’s a pretty good idea to eliminate as much of the pollutants in the air and water as possible. PGN: What celebrity chef would you like to have fix you a meal? GDM: Georges Perrier from Le Bec-Fin. He’s been a friend for a long, long time and he’s a true artist. He’s created so many wonderful things for me and my guests over the years … one of the great chefs of the world. Funny story: Mike McDonough was the manager at Le Bec and he was gay. Someone once suggested that Georges and Mike were an item and he replied, “Puhlease! The biggest thing on Georges is his nose!” PGN: An item you still have from childhood? GDM: [Smiles] My grandmother gave me this little safe, a little bank. I still have it. I wish I had some of my old paper dolls too. I loved them! PGN: You mentioned his derriere. What’s another favorite part about Billy? GDM: His big heart. He’s kind and considerate, very generous. BW: Enough about me. Tell her how you’ve advised presidents! GDM: During Reagan’s day, they seemed to think highly of me and I was able to attend some very high-level meetings. I’d never lost an election and they would call on me for advice. In 1976, I had a great conversation with Reagan himself when he was trying to unseat Ford for the nomination. Jersey was a pivotal state and I was a delegate. One day, my mother told me I had a call and I said, “Ah, whoever it is, tell them I’ll call back.” She answered, “You might want to take this one.” It was then-Gov. Reagan. He wanted my support for his presidential run but I told him that I thought Ford had done a good job after the Nixon scandal of holding the country together and deserved our support. But I did thank him for the way he handled the Phil Battaglia scandal. Reagan didn’t go after Battaglia for being gay; he blasted the reporters for going after him. I told him that I admired him for it and after that we spoke often. PGN: There was something also with teachers, wasn’t there? GDM: Yes, at one point a Congressman named Jim Courter tried to pass an amendment in New Jersey banning gay people from teaching. I refused to support him and in fact started withdrawing from the party all together. At one point, he sent an emissary to me wanting a large contribution, and I told him, “Go back and tell Jim that if he wants that kind of contribution, he’s going to have to assume a position familiar to a group he recently bashed!” PGN: Wow, and I thought I was just going to learn about cranberries tonight! You need a whole biography. GDM: Ha. I have to tell you, over the years I’ve been lucky enough to have some glorious meals, a lot of wonderful friends, kind relatives and beautiful, beautiful men. Sad times too, but overall some really good times. n To suggest a community member for Family Portrait, email portraits05@aol.com.
