VICTORY LAP Philly’s Election Day hangover brings just a few surprises. By Isaiah Thompson

s late morning turned to early afternoon on Tuesday — Election Day, that is — the Famous 4th Street Delicatessen filled with the city’s political elite, in accordance with a nowdecades-long tradition in which elected officials, candidates, politicos and reporters break bread together in a collective, congenial homage to the democratic process. “These are all great people, people who are trying to make this city better,” said a visibly touched David Auspitz, the former owner of the Famous, who has attended every Election Day gathering since they began in 1982. “And whatever the politics are, today they just come in and have a good time together. That’s what it’s about.” Old and young, Democrat and Republican — even candidates in direct competition with each other — all seemed to leave their different affiliations and distinctions behind at the deli’s swinging doors to sit down as equals. But, for all the good cheer, Tuesday in fact marked as bloody a political battle as the city has seen in years. Sure, the mayor’s race was a given (Mayor Michael Nutter claimed just shy of 75 percent of the vote). But at stake on Tuesday was more than that. For one thing, there’s the looming internal vote for presidency of City Council — which will determine, among

other things, the success Nutter can expect during his next four years. Then there’s the future of the ailing Philly Republican machine, whose boss, Michael Meehan, saw his power challenged on multiple fronts on Election Day. And if you believe those who argue that the city’s Republican and Democratic machines are really one and the same, you might say the whole dang decadeslong structure of Philadelphia political power was under siege. A war is on, and if you looked past the foot-high pastrami on Tuesday, you could see the switchblades. John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty, boss of the powerful International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 98, whose finances have made and unmade many a Philadelphia political candidate, brandished his own weapon for all to see: fliers, hundreds of them, slamming Republican at-large City Council candidate David Oh. As he worked the room, Dougherty didn’t just hand out the fliers — he made deliveries in thick stacks. Oh, as you may recall, came under fire — just a few months after winning a punishing victory over his opponents in the city’s Republican primary in May — when a series of articles suggested he mischaracterized his military career. Later, a small group of veterans staged a public shaming of Oh. Around the same time, anonymous (and therefore illegal) campaign fliers calling Oh a “faker” began to appear. The fliers, as this author observed in last week’s print edition (and on our blog, The Naked City), proved beyond a doubt that someone was funding a smear campaign

It was the bloodiest battle in years.

✚ SPELL CHECK Among those vying for a seat on the City Commissioners this election cycle, according to sample ballots in the Inquirer and Public Record, was one Al Schmidit [sic]. And that had Al Schmidt, the anti-machine Republican squaring off against incumbent Joseph Duda, more than a little irritated. “Ahh, the rush of pride when you first see your name on the official sample ballot … misspelled by the City Commissioners,” Schmidt posted on his Facebook wall, sparking a social networking feud between Schmidt and the City Commissioners office, which manages elections. The original election materials were correct, Commissioners official Timothy Dowling commented back. “The Philadelphia newspapers altered the CORRECT proofs without permission for spacing needs. … Grow up be a man and admit you are wrong.” He suggested that any interested parties should come by his office to inspect the official documents, rather than go by “an altered ad by a broke joke of a newspaper.” Mark Block, vice president of Philadelphia Media Network, which owns said newspaper, took responsibility for the error when alerted by City Paper.“We had to rebuild the ad,” he says, because it didn’t fit the paper. He pledged a correction. It is unclear whether any Philadelphia politicians, officials or journalists were de-friended during the mêlée. —Daniel Denvir

✚ STAYING POWER Mayor Michael Nutter has allowed Occupy Philly to continue

unmolested. But he has also made it clear that the protest tent city must move in the coming month, when construction to rebuild Dilworth Plaza is slated to begin. For their part, protesters have debated whether to comply; a “radical caucus” put forward a proposal to stay at City Hall for good. Occupy’s General Assembly (GA) will debate the matter on Friday. But activist Chris Goldstein says that whether each protester chooses to stay will in the end be a personal choice since the GA isn’t a governing body: “There’s a lot of autonomy in Occupy Philly. I’m not sure if a vote at the GA will make any difference. People can occupy wherever they want.” A GA vote to stay could prove divisive. Some demonstrators want to avoid conflict with the city. Others are waiting for input from unions and people with disabilities, since the renovations will, among other things, make the plaza wheelchair accessible. Some activists have criticized the project as a privatized bourgeois redevelopment scheme. But it will also create jobs and improve accessibility — and it might just be a nice public works project. “I get the whole problem with an ice skating rink and privatization of the space, but you’re also keeping people from having jobs,” says one activist who did not want to be named. “And that’s not cool.” —Daniel Denvir

✚ DOWN TO EARTH An article on Earthships, buildings made of organic and recycled materials (A Million Stories, “The Mother Ship,” Oct. 20), stated that the builder of a local Earthship greenhouse planned to offer seedlings to City Harvest. That is not the case.

HAWK THE VOTE ³ PRESTO CHANGO! Hall Monitor has stumbled on the answer to America’s — Philly’s, at least — problem of voter apathy: Instead of making citizens schlep to the polls, just count their votes by default! They can show up and un-vote if they want to bother — otherwise, thanks for “casting” your ballot! That’s effectively what Councilman Frank DiCicco has decreed shall happen in the part of his district known as Chinatown North or Callowhill, where one group of residents is frantically trying to assemble enough “no” votes to overturn a 7 percent property tax hike (favored by a different group of residents) that will otherwise be implemented by default. I speak of course about the simmering controversy over the proposed Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) that would stretch from Vine to Callowhill and Broad to Eighth. The proponents of the NID want to be able to tax themselves — and their neighbors — an extra 7 percent for enhanced services that they say the neighborhood needs. Certainly, DiCicco agrees. He made no secret of his contempt for the local resistance to this NID by residents (many but not all Asian American) who oppose paying a tax to a group they don’t feel represents them. When one group of Asian-American activists voiced concern over a particular housing development full of low-income seniors at a public hearing, DiCicco simply carved the block in question out of the NID. “You wanted out, you got out!” he chided the group, apparently dumbfounded that opposition should still exist. He shouldn’t be. By excising that block, DiCicco also happened to eliminate a number of potential “no” votes to the NID — which will go into effect by default unless anti-NID organizers can collect the signatures of more than 51 percent of residents, or holders of 51 percent of the total property value in the district within 45 days. It’s an unusual system, one that places the burden on those against the creation of an entity, rather than those for it. If they fail, the tax will have been imposed against the will of a significant portion of the neighborhood — not by a demonstrable majority, but by a default process. That will be largely thanks to the custom of “councilmanic prerogative,” which gives each Council member king-like powers over his or her district. And that should give DiCicco, along with the well-meaning proponents of this idea, pause. They may indeed have numbers behind them, but, unlike their opponents — and unlike everybody who bothered to vote on Tuesday — they don’t have to prove it. ✚ Send feedback to isaiah.thompson@citypaper.net.

against Oh. The possible motivations were many, from personal grudges to the very battle for Council presidency. A candidate independent of the Republican machine, Oh posed a clear and present danger to a plan by Dougherty, long in the works, to prevent Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco from assuming the Council presidency and potentially stymie Nutter and the alliances backing him (Tasco is favored by Nutter; her presumed opponent, Councilman Darrell L. Clarke, is not). A few days after the publication of that article, new fliers appeared, this time bearing a signature: Philadelphia Phuture, a political action committee (PAC) controlled by Dougherty. Congenial a man as Dougherty may be, there seemed to be something particularly appealing about him Tuesday morning at the Famous, where just about everyone who showed up found themselves at one point with Doc’s generous arm around them. There was Joe McColgan, who is also running for at-large City Council against Oh, and who’s received the support of Dougherty’s union; Bobby Henon, who declared during the primaries that he would not vote for Tasco for president; Councilman Bill Green, who’s received substantial donations from IBEW Local 98; Councilman and would-be Council President Clarke himself; and Councilman Curtis Jones Jr., who recently declared his support for Clarke. But that wasn’t the only brawl in the works on Tuesday. For years, a small band of Philadelphia Republicans has been staging an insurgency against its own party leadership, namely GOP boss Mike Meehan. In May, Republican insurgent John Featherman broke ranks and ran against Karen Brown, the machine’s choice, for mayor. Featherman lost, but not by much. Another Republican insurgent, Al Schmidt, who challenged longtime party loyalist Joe Duda for a seat with the City Commissioners, advanced to the general election. The City Commissioners office, which oversees elections, is both a source of life-giving patronage for the Republican party and a potentially influential force at the polls. It may not sound as glamorous as mayor, but Schmidt’s attempt to seize the seat from Duda amounted to a serious challenge to the city’s political machine. By Tuesday evening, all the cheer had worn off and left a naked, clawing fight to the finish. The effort against Oh had gone from covert to overt: That afternoon, the Daily News suggested (and Dougherty declined to confirm or deny) that Dougherty had spent some $100,000 — a huge sum in local elections — to defeat Oh. And it seemed to be working: As results began trickling in, Republican Dennis O’Brien was out ahead in first place for one of two Republican at-large Council seats. And Oh — who had finished first in the primary election — began to fall into third, behind Republican machine pick Al

Taubenberger, to the dismay of those gathered at Oh’s election night party at McGillin’s Olde Ale House. “Johnny Doc did a hit job on him,” explained one supporter quietly to his wife. A few miles away at the Schmidt campaign party, the mood was markedly different. Schmidt started ahead of Duda and stayed there, his lead only growing as the night wore on. When Schmidt finally addressed the giddy crowd at about 10 p.m., he sounded downright revolutionary: “Our opposition tried to ‘deal’ their way to victory. … They can throw as many mercenaries against us as they want — it doesn’t matter.” And then, amid the applause, a clamor began to grow from the corner, where a few laptops held the ongoing vote count: David

“Meehan lost control of the Commissioners. This is huge.” Oh had suddenly lurched ahead of his opponent. CP raced back to the Oh party, encountering a highly excited John Featherman en route. “[Republican party boss] Meehan just lost control of the Commissioners seat — if he loses to David Oh now, that means that people who run for office will no longer have to go get his help,” Featherman said breathlessly. “This is huge.” The Oh gathering, meanwhile, had gone from morbid to giddy. The room was packed with what must have been the most diverse political gathering in Philly that night: white, black, Asian, Latino, immigrant, Philly native — all suddenly contemplating the possibility of an unexpected victory. As of press time, Oh was ahead, but the vote was too close to call — which, in a sense, says a lot. (isaiah.thompson@citypaper.net)

IT TOOK HALF A CENTURY TO BRING THE DELAWARE RIVER BACK TO LIFE. NOW, A NEW GENERATION OF THREATS COULD PUT IT AT RISK ONCE AGAIN. BY SAMANTHA MELAMED

in the river’s estuary. Now, a growing number of scientists, environmentalists and civic leaders worry that the rivers are under siege once again. Depending on the results of a Nov. 21 meeting of the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), the interstate body that oversees the river, the end of a drilling moratorium could pave the way for some 15,000 wells to be scattered across the Delaware’s watershed. Farther south, a dredging project that has envi-

said. “Rivers aren’t just flowing bodies of water. They are a ceaseless creator of jobs … [and that] can continue as long as these rivers run free and deep.’’ From Corbett’s point of view, a river appears as a limitless economic resource rather than an ecosystem or even a vital source of drinking water (as the Delaware is for 15 million people) that merits vigilant protection. Advocates say that’s a philosophy that puts the river, and therefore our wellbeing, at risk.

On the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) website, you can enter your street address and find out which watershed — and, therefore, which river — your drinking water is harvested from. But then, maybe you’d rather not know. After all, your first option is the Schuylkill, which, according to the PWD’s own Rivercast forecasting site, is unsafe for swimming about 40 percent of the time. The river is also threatened by upstream development that increases phosphorus, nitrogen and bacterial runoff during rainstorms, not to mention pharmaceuticals and other chemicals not adequately processed by upstream wastewater treatment plants. On the other hand, there’s the Delaware River, lined with increasingly dense development, as well as factories, oil refineries and shipping ports. Baxter, Philly’s lone Delaware River water treatment plant, processes 60 percent of the city’s drinking water, 200 million gallons a day. The 102-year-old plant is the last line of defense against a growing litany of threats to the Delaware: chemical pollution, nutrient runoff, the overflow of untreated sewage, seawater intrusion — and, perhaps soon, any byproducts of gas drilling in the Marcellus shale, which underlies 36 percent of the watershed. Things used to be much worse. It took 60 years to clean up these two rivers: The Schuylkill once ran almost black with coal dust; and as recently as the 1940s the Delaware was an open sewer, a public health threat and a punch line. Back then, they say, you could smell the river from an airplane. It peeled the paint clean off boats and made dockworkers ill. FDR feared its fumes were corroding military radar installations

ronmentalists (and some mainstream politicians) enraged seems ready to resume, thanks to a $15 million funding infusion from the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority. That deepening, in turn, could be key to jumpstarting the planned Southport Marine Terminal project — which would fill in seven acres of wetlands and 33 acres of open water. Nearby, at the Philadelphia International Airport, expansion plans call for filling in another 24.5 acres of the river, plus more than 80 acres of wetlands. And those are just the major projects. At an October waterways symposium, Gov. Tom Corbett summed up one way of looking at a river: not even as a commodity but as a means by which commodities can be got. It’s a way of thinking that presumes a river, like a highway, can only benefit from being expanded or rerouted to suit traffic and development. “If our country is a living body, these rivers are its veins. They connect our cities through industry. That’s why we need to maintain them, to develop them,” Corbett

´ IN THE 19TH CENTURY, the Delaware River was not only the lifeblood of Philadelphia’s shipping trade, but also host to an Atlantic sturgeon caviar industry that was, at its peak in the 1890s, the largest in the world. But by the turn of the 20th century, that industry had all but disappeared, a victim of over-harvesting. “People took very serious advantage of the river, to the point where the river started to die,” says Maya van Rossum, head of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network. With the Industrial Revolution, pollution of the Delaware began in earnest. “By World War II, the horrible stinking condition of the river was a threat to national security,” says Jonathan Sharp, a University of Delaware professor of oceanography. “It used to emanate a rotten-egg odor of hydrogen sulfide in the summer, because there was almost no oxygen in the water.” The stretch of the Delaware near Philly became a dead zone, and its confluence with the coal-clogged Schuylkill, where

— is in its infancy, he says, and that’s what concerns him. As regards the Delaware basin, he says, “I think it would be crazy to proceed with shale gas development until the EPA issues its report.” Watersheds where fracking has already taken place have become early test cases. Among the chemicals found in fracking waste that could threaten water systems are, he says, scientists have found benzene, a carcinogen; volatile hydrocarbons and radioactive radium, uranium and radon; and barium and bromide, which

says just 3 percent of fracking waste was recycled in Pennsylvania in 2010. “A portion of it is purposely used as a de-icer dumped on roads in the winter, and that’s a terrible idea,” he says. “A large part of the waste is simply unaccounted for.” Hanger argues that, with new drilling wastewater management standards, our waterways are better protected than they were when drilling began — but he admits that keeping staffing levels up to enforce rules will be vital. It will also be challenging, given that Gov. Corbett >>> continued on page 14

only seven species of fish survived, didn’t help. Only once the situation became untenable did government begin issuing and enforcing the laws that would chart the course for the river’s slow, painful revival. The river’s flow was the first to be regulated, following interstate water wars in the early 20th century. Now, the Delaware is managed via controlled reservoir releases overseen by a U.S. Geological Survey-appointed Delaware River Master and by the DRBC. Water quality improved later. The Clean Water Act in 1972 spurred important upgrades to municipal sewage treatment plants. And in 1992, the DRBC acted to protect the upper reaches of the river with a Special Protection Waters designation. As well, the PWD has implemented a proactive source water protection program to manage everything from upstream wastewater treatment to farming practices to the migration stops of geese. Of course, improvement is relative. Sure, there are now 48 varieties of fish in the Schuylkill. But there are also, says van Rossum, more than a dozen species in the Delaware River Estuary that are too toxic to eat. And last October, the Atlantic sturgeon that spawn in the Delaware and Hudson rivers were proposed for listing as an endangered species. Dewayne Fox, a Delaware State University professor who has been studying the sturgeon, estimates that there are only about 300 left in the river. “The tidal portion in the Philadelphia area has had one of the most remarkable improvements of any similar system in the world,” Sharp says. “And that shows we need to be especially cautious of what happens next.”

can interact with the chlorine that cities use to rid water of microorganisms, resulting in “nasty brominated compounds” that are highly toxic. “There are a lot of different compounds I would definitely consider a public health risk,” Howarth says — compounds municipal water treatment plants can’t currently remove. “The treatment you might use to get those out of the drinking water supply would be extraordinarily expensive.” Not everyone is so worried. For one, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) says its tests have found no evidence of radioactive materials in water from fracking. Former DEP Secretary John Hanger, who oversaw the creation of many fracking regulations, says that given Pennsylvania’s current laws he sees no serious threat to municipal water supplies. “Gas drilling in Pennsylvania is not a top-five impact on water,” he adds.

Delaware River basin, as far south as Allentown. An estimated 15,000 to 18,000 wells would use the technique of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which a proprietary cocktail of chemically enhanced water is forced into the ground to drive gas stores to the surface. Across Pennsylvania, debate has been swirling around this relatively young technology: its carbon footprint, greenhouse gas emissions, arguable economics and air pollution concerns. Now, for the first time, the war over fracking has come home to Philly — by way of the Delaware River. As to what impact a gas boom could have on the river, the short answer is: No one knows. “There’s a little bit of study that’s been done, and a lot to be worried about,” says Robert Howarth, professor of environmental biology at Cornell University and a co-founder of Physicians Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy, a group formed to bring scientific expertise into the shale gas drilling debate. Fracking research — including a water impact assessment still ongoing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

That very real threat to Philly’s drinking water is something the PWD is reviewing actively — particularly given the prospect of global warming. “I would not be surprised if sea level rise would have a negative impact on us, and we’ll have to find a way to mitigate that,” says Crockett. That could mean expanding Pennsylvania’s reservoirs or increasing other controlled water releases to flush the salt line downriver. In the short term, though, there are other factors that could hasten the shift of the salt line. Among them: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ $300 million effort to deepen the river’s 102-mile shipping channel from 40 to 45 feet. The project, on hold after the first 12mile stretch was completed in 2010, could resume this month, according to Ed Voigt, an Army Corps spokesman — over the protests of environmentalists and the New Jersey DEP. In addition to the effect on the salt line (which Voigt describes as “marginal”) and to economic questions — the U.S. Government Accountability Office has twice audited the project, essentially PROTECTING OUR SOURCES: — who campaigned on a pledge not to tax drillPWD’s Christopher Crockett and ing — has substantially slashed the DEP’s budsource water protection manager get. This fiscal year, it’s $135 million, a little more Kelly Anderson, near the Baxter water than half of what it was a decade ago. intake, work to keep the rivers clean. Even if today’s rules are enforced, over time concrete and steel well casings are expected to give out, creating numerous underground leaks over the next century. “The issue is not from one natural gas well leaking two or three months after inception,” says Michel Boufadel, an environmental engineering professor at Temple. “The concern is what happens 25 or 50 years from now. … There’s room for a big surprise.” Christopher Crockett, PWD’s deputy commissioner for planning and environmental services, says he’s watching developments closely, but believes DRBC’s proposed controls could be sufficient. The PWD is, however, taking proactive measures, such as pushing for drillers to join its early warning system. “I’m not going to wait for someone in Harrisburg to protect Philadelphia’s water supply,” says Crockett. “I’m going to do it and make sure we’re safe.”

´ THE FEAR OF radioactive, flammable water, dramatic as it is, has overshadowed another potential problem with fracking: the hundreds of millions of gallons of water that would have to be removed from the river for fracking to take place. Remember, the Delaware River is already in a delicate balance, managed only through the grace of federal bureaucracy. “There are definitely times when water is in short supply, and that would be during times of drought,” says Gary Paulachok, deputy Delaware River Master. “Since we haven’t had a drought for 10 years, it’s not foremost on people’s minds.” Perhaps it should be, given the extreme weather climate change is expected to usher in. When there’s less water, the salt line — the place where seawater rushes in to meet the Delaware — seeps upriver. In a severe drought in the 1960s, the salt line came within eight miles of the Baxter water intake. A long-term northward surge would not only devastate freshwater habitats, but also turn the city’s drinking water to brine.

go down another 5 [feet], you have much older deposition, from when we had very little effluent regulation passed, and nasty things going into the water that don’t go in today. So you’re dredging toxic materials.”

´ THE WAY FOX diagnoses the possible fate of the Delaware is, “death by a thousand cuts.” For example, beyond dredging and fracking, Southport and the airport, there’s the march of development and, with it, deforestation. The city has been looking to manage that risk since the 1800s, when it purchased Fairmount Park specifically to protect Philadelphia’s drinking water. Population pressures are especially a concern in the fast-growing counties around the Schuylkill, which is, after all, also part of the Delaware watershed. There, the PWD has identified 6,300 at-risk acres as potential conservation lands that are important to our water quality. Deforestation impacts the river during heavy rains, when it makes for more and faster runoff. That can cause major floods, as the Delaware River saw each year in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

A LONG-TERM SHIFT IN THE SALT LINE COULD TURN OUR DRINKING WATER TO BRINE. questioning its value — scientists worry over the impact on freshwater habitats. Fox says dredging poses clear risks to sturgeon and other river creatures. According to Sharp, it’s a case of economics triumphing over science. “[The deepening] has not had a logical, independent, objective study. It’s a military attack as opposed to an environmental assessment,” he argues. For example, Voigt says that channel deepening is no different from the maintenance dredging that currently keeps the Delaware at its 40-foot depth. Sharp argues: “If you

Runoff also flushes more nutrients into the river, such as fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, according to Thomas Fikslin, manager of modeling, monitoring and assessment for the DRBC. As a result, finding the source of toxins like PCBs and DDT in our waterways is a constant sleuthing job for regulators. And, keeping up with all the new contaminants is nearly impossible. “Back when they enacted the Clean Water Act in the ’70s, they identified about 130 toxic pollutants,” Fikslin says. >>> continued on page 16

“The problem is, there are thousands of chemicals introduced every year.” And, it gets grosser. “Pennsylvania leads the nation in raw sewage going into streams,” Hanger says. During even moderate rains in Philadelphia, more than a third of all combined stormwater and sewage runs untreated into the river. (Through a groundbreaking $1.2 billion program, the PWD is looking to change that by creating green infrastructure that will absorb stormwater.) But as much as the PWD is doing to improve stormwater management, projects like the airport expansion or the Southport Marine Terminal could do even more damage, van Rossum argues. “If we start filling our river in at the edges, we will have dramatic effects both short term and long term,” she says. “Look at what happened in New Orleans when the wetlands were decimated. Those wetlands are an important buffer.”

´ DURING THE PUBLIC comment period on the DRBC’s proposed fracking regulations, scientists, activists, officials and citizens submitted 69,000 comments, many of them impassioned warnings against fracking’s unknown impacts. The Pennsylvania DEP, on the other hand, wrote to say the proposed rules were redundant and should be scaled back. State Rep. Babette Josephs was among those pushing for tighter regulation. She says her constituents are “frantic.” The problem, she says, is “our governor is not interested in regu-

lating his friends” and generous campaign contributors in the natural gas industry. In October, Philadelphia City Council resolved to support a lawsuit seeking to block fracking until an environmental impact study can be done. Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown, who has been active in pushing back on fracking, says that, from “the little chair that I sit in here on City Council” all she can do is register her protest. “We have a leader who has put in lax or nonexistent policies around fracking; the prospects are not optimistic.” So far, Mayor Michael Nutter opted not to order the city’s legal department to join in the lawsuit, which was filed by New York’s attorney general. Van Rossum argues the same forces are at work on many of the issues bearing down on the Delaware. “It’s the Army Corps and the commonwealth teaming up, once again on Southport, just like they’re doing on deepening, just like they’re doing on gas drilling where they’re

teaming up through the DRBC, to grease the wheels for industry to run roughshod over our community, and Philadelphia’s caught in the middle of it.” On Nov. 21, hundreds of demonstrators are going to the DRBC meeting in Trenton to protest the acceptance of regulations that would end the moratorium on drilling in the Delaware River basin. Van Rossum hopes — but doesn’t really seem to expect — that it will be the moment that turns the tide for the Delaware River. There will be enough protesters to send a message; the question is whether anyone in power will be listening. If not, Josephs warns, Pennsylvania could be doomed to repeat its environmental history. “The southwest of the state is full of coal slag. The natural environment is polluted and isn’t recovering because we didn’t monitor the coal mining industry,” she says. “When will we learn?” (samantha@citypaper.net)

SNAKE TECTONICS: Musical styles clash and merge in Michael McDermott’s environmental parable. MELISSA HASSEY

[ opera/multimedia ]

BREAKING GROUND The eclectic earSnake army comes together to split the continents with a brand-new high-concept opera. By Shaun Brady

s a half-dozen singers filed into the orange-walled basement studio of Michael McDermott’s Manayunk row home a few weeks back, idle conversation ranged from the last game of the World Series and swapping electronic equipment to concoctions for soothing a strained throat. But the topic most on everyone’s mind was the looming late-October snow, which would hit the following morning. Generally the forecast was met with eye-rolling annoyance or childlike anticipation, but it also served to set the mood somewhat for the night’s rehearsal, focused as it was on the break-up of the prehistoric supercontinent Pangaea. “There’s a thread in the story that has to do with ecological disaster,” says McDermott, aka Mikronesia, composer and mastermind of Pangaea: When the Continents Were One, a multimedia opera which will première Friday at the Rotunda. “It’s kind of a parable: The continents are separating, there’s earthquakes and erratic weather, and I think that resonates today with people.” Despite its somewhat apocalyptic relevance and the symbolically apt performance date (11/11/11), Pangaea has been in the works for ages. “I’ve been talking about it for 15 years,” McDermott says. “Some of the music is stuff I wrote in my late teens, around the time I was in college. It’s always this project in the back of my mind.”

The concepts and music have been stockpiled over those years, tinkered with in the downtime between McDermott’s solo electronic work as Mikronesia, his collaborations with partner Megan Pandar Cauley as Gemini Wolf, and running the duo’s eclectic label, earSnake. It was his work with earSnake’s diverse roster of artists that helped finally bring Pangaea to fruition. “I feel like it’s a nice culmination of the work we’ve been doing with the label over the last three or four years,” McDermott says, “bringing all these different styles — electronic and chamber music and rock and hip-hop and folk and experimental — together into this one singular project.” The idea of Pangaea itself provides an ideal foundation for such a generic and stylistic mash-up. “I’ve always been fascinated by concept albums and long pieces of art rock like Pink Floyd and that kind of stuff,” McDermott explains. “I wanted to think about music before there were all these divisions of continents and genres. What would music [have sounded] like when everyone lived together as one big tribe on the supercontinent?” The answer emerges as something of an every-style, an intriguing blend of modern and primitive, with tribal chants underlying synth loops, sophisticated symphonic orchestrations coexisting with traditional percussion, alien melodies clashing against swaggering rap. Despite its ancient subject, the piece itself is more post- than prehistoric, revisiting the dawn of time with armloads of aural souvenirs

“It’s always this project in the back of my mind.”

[ lots of gleeful cackling along the way ] ³ acoustic/ragtime/bluegrass

Boston’s Glenn Jones — a collaborator and pal of our own dearly departed Jack Rose, who plays in a similarly dense, deft, folk-derived finger-picking style (so-called “American primitive,” though it’s really anything but) — is an immensely skilled guitarist, something that’s evident from any given few seconds of The Wanting, his Thrill Jockey debut. But it’s his spirit, grace, and subtle, sure compositional style, not mere technical wizardry, that makes these 11 songs without words such an uncommonly warm, welcoming and immersive listening experience.

Louisville virtuoso Nathan Salsburg plays expressive instrumentals on his acoustic guitar and keeps things to-thepoint, but robust. In just over a half-hour, his debut, Affirmed (No Quarter), cavorts between ragtime, Doc Watson-esque finger-picked bluegrass and one traditional vocal number — “The False True Love,” sung with Julia Purcell of Louisville old-time combo Maiden Radio.

MELANCHOLIA

Only those who expect the worst will be prepared.

LADY IN THE WATER: In Lars von Trier’s coolly fatalistic Melancholia, Justine (Kirsten Dunst) treats imminent apocalypse like another bad day.

Perfect background music for a human sacrifice. ³ YES, WE ALL know you’ve been to Norway. The reason we all know you’ve been to Norway, fucknutz, is because all of us were stuck in line behind you at Market East Station that Sunday afternoon as you held up the goddamn queue by spending 20 minutes lecturing the SEPTA worker on the other side of the window about the superiority of the Norwegian train system which you recently availed yourself of on a “spiritual sojourn through Scandinavia.” Then, as if to add insult to assholery, when the beleaguered ticket-seller — thanks for achieving the impossible, asshole; you made me feel sorry for a SEPTA employee — proposed that you email your suggestions to SEPTA, you rolled your eyes and said “I don’t use email” in a tone of voice which implied that never touching a keyboard somehow made you the next fucking Gandhi. Karl Seglem’s Ossicles is almost the sort of light, jazzy crap that shitbirds like Mr. Norway-Has-anExcellent-Nine-Tiered-Ticketing-System always seem to have a hard-on for. “Almost” ended up in the previous sentence because, occasionally — as during “Sognabad” — dark little motifs sneak in and snake their way about. That song would be perfect background music for a human sacrifice and, unless he was able to sneak up on a sleeping speckled Norwegian barn mollusk, I have a pretty good idea where we can find a virgin.

Verdict: It’s the little touches of odd, droning instruments like goat and antelope horn that save Ossicles (but not at least one goat and one antelope). (r_anonymous@citypaper.net)

✚ Karl Seglem

Ossicles (OZELLA)

left hemisphere is back in charge with Melancholia, in which chronically depressed Justine (Kirsten Dunst) treats imminent apocalypse like another bad day. In the movie’s first section, Justine preps for her wedding, the culmination of her attempts to put her mental illness behind her. But surely as the malevolent planet which dominates its latter half, her self-destructive nature keeps pulling at her, aided by a self-involved father (John Hurt) with a floozy on each arm and a scowling mother (Charlotte Rampling) whose doomy prophecies have a self-fulfilling air. Sure enough, Justine’s special day implodes in spectacular fashion. Cut to some time later, as she recuperates on the dreary estate of her sister, Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg), and disdainful brother-in-law John (Kiefer Sutherland). It’s here that the planet Melancholia makes itself known, an implacable blue orb heading steadily for our own. John, an amateur astronomer, clings to reports of a narrow escape, but Justine knows the end is nigh (as do we, thanks to an operatic opening montage). If Antichrist was von Trier’s anguished depiction of his own crippling depression, which was so severe he couldn’t hold a camera steady for years, Melancholia is a coolly fatalistic reconciliation that not only accepts but embraces his illness. When the world ends, only those who always expected the worst will be prepared. While it’s not as clinically detached as Dogville, Melancholia has a bloodless beauty, not unlike its pale-skinned heroine. Dunst allows Justine’s façade to crumble, but she only exposes skin, where Gainsbourg in Antichrist flayed herself alive. The movie doesn’t stint on its planet-size central metaphor, building to a climax that puts the scope of modern movie theaters to vigorous use. But for a movie about losing control, Melancholia sometimes exercises too much of it. —Sam Adams

re:view Robin Rice on visual art

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK ³ AFTER BEING CLOSED for most of the year, Bridgette Mayer Gallery is ready to unveil a major renovation that transforms the

space’s look, size and functionality. Mayer says she was surprised to learn that her Washington Square building was considered historic, built as a residence in 1799. A typical 18th-century row house, it is deep but relatively narrow. To create an unfussy, unbroken, considerably larger space, Mayer knocked out the walls between rooms and united her original gallery with an apartment in the back of the building. The walls are not entirely flat: A couple of shallow niches will frame individual works or installations. The design is characterized by simple, open areas and right angles, flat planes and limited expanses of rustic texture. In the entranceway, a small television screen will display art-related videos (not all proprietary). The floor is made of white oak planks from an 1864 French barn. The color is cooler than you’d expect: stone gray and bisque veined with black grain, complemented by an unusual narrow steel channel running laterally along the base of the walls. The velvety black margin frames the walls and floor, bracketing the flow of space. The work of Philadelphia Museum of Art lighting designer Andrew Slavinskas is perfectly unobtrusive, as it should be. Mayer retained two barrel-vaulted spaces, one above the other, from the original building but removed their heavy steel doors.

The one on the gallery floor has been fitted with special lighting, an up-to-date audio system and a suspended, concealed screen that is available for video and performance. The lower-level vault functions as a conduit from one section to another and is outfitted as a wine cellar. Its exposed brick walls make a nice foil to the unmarred white elsewhere. A really beautiful up-to-date painting storage area shares the downstairs with Mayer’s office, a conference room and a private viewing area for clients. She anticipates hosting parties downstairs, just as the previous inhabitants did. Meanwhile, Eileen Neff will be showing a photographic installation and Shelley Spector will have small sculpture in the office area. These two have recently joined Mayer’s stable, along with several other local and international artists. Nevertheless, Bridgette Mayer Gallery retains its distinctive quality: intensely visual, sensitive, never heavy-handed. “For me,” says Mayer of choosing new artists, “it’s what I’m seeing and caring about and adding another

layer of sophistication.” The new space’s debut exhibit, “Karmic Abstraction,” features 23 artists, including Radcliffe Bailey (whose Four and One Corner — South is pictured), Iva Gueorguieva, Eemyun Kang, Tim McFarlane, Tom Nozkowski, Odili Donald Odita and Rebecca Rutstein. Mayer says the title was suggested by paintings that layer moments in time, but it could also refer to the reincarnated persona of the gallery itself. When reminded that upon opening her gallery a decade ago she had exclaimed enthusiastically, “I was born to do this!” Mayer says she felt an unexpected wave of emotion last week after seeing the completed renovations. “I had tears running down my face. … This project is one big present to all of the artists here who are hungry for great shows just like I am, and to the community who need to know that the arts are alive and thriving in Philadelphia. I am overjoyed and so excited to open our doors and share this with everyone.” (r_rice@citypaper.net) ✚ “Karmic Abstraction” runs Nov. 15-Dec. 31,

INVITE YOU AND A GUEST TO A SPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING OF

There’s so much to admire about The Whipping Man, Matthew Lopez’s Civil War drama playing at the Arden Theatre Co., that its excesses can almost be overlooked. The play’s compelling situation — a Jewish Virginian returns home to his devastated mansion at the war’s end, where one faithful slave waits while another hides — is unique and powerful, particularly since the now-free slaves are also Jewish. The Passover question, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” has clear meaning. Too often, though, The Whipping Man pounds in ideas like this relentlessly. Christopher Colucci’s sound design overstates the spring storm raging outside — and, as countless bad movies teach us, thunder equals drama, right? Lopez’s script gives both freed men a disturbingly modern snarkiness about slavery. Lopez also builds in much mystery and coincidence, which the cast plays earnestly. Caleb, the Confederate officer played by Cody Nickell with an accent that slides up and down the East Coast, may have deserted — and has some surprising (and unbelievable) connections with Simon

(Johnnie Hobbs Jr.) and John (James Ijames) that are easily guessed and quickly revealed. Matt Pfeiffer’s production is most genuine about the horrors of slavery and war, thanks particularly to Maggie Baker’s gruesome makeup and David Gordon’s majestic ruin of a mansion, as well as the actors’ skills. The Whipping Man is a worthy contribution to the city’s recent Jewish theater boom, which includes EgoPo’s The Diary of Anne Frank, Lantern’s New Jerusalem and the Wilma’s Our Class. The stark simplicity of starving ex-slaves and an exowner creating a seder dinner from meager scraps is more moving than all the big speeches and soap opera revelations Lopez forces upon us. Through Dec. 18, $34-$48, Arden Theatre Co., 40 N. Second St., 215-922-1122, ardentheatre.org. (m_cofta@citypaper.net)

³ HAND TO GODS Accompanied by four gentlemen playing flute, percussion instruments and singing while crosslegged on stage, the India-born, Paris-raised Shantala Shivalingappa kept her audience rapt at the Annenberg Center Saturday night. It wasn’t the usual crowd: At least half of the viewers donned saris, Nehru jackets or were draped in beautiful embroidered silk (while the other half, myself included, may have unintentionally toned down the glamorous effect with slacks and sweaters). Each of six dance sections was dedicated to a specific deity. First was Vani, goddess of the arts; next was the sun god Surya Stuthi, who is greeted every morning and night with, “Praise be to you, O’ Surya, source of our life, bless us equally with your sacred witness.” Then Shivalingappa moved on to Ganesha, the most loved god in India, as he’s always kind and compassionate. The dancer used her eyes, hands and facial expressions to express the emotions each beloved god calls forth, making her movement piece feel as much like a holy act as a performance. In each section, Shivalingappa leapt barefoot onto the stage wearing a gold-trimmed silk dress that draped around her as though she’d been born

wearing it. The colors changed as the performance shifted from one god to another. Jewels shimmered on her head. Often the costume became part of the performance: When she turned her back on the audience and dropped into a perfect plié with her hands lifting up, her pleated skirt transformed her into a beautiful fan. Shivalingappa’s craft should be thought of as speaking hands — they reach to the sky, then turn sideways, fluttering like birds, imploring the gods. Gracious and smiling, she moved her hands toward the audience in gentle gestures of inclusion. Mesmerizing. Sat., Nov. 5, Annenberg Center. (j_anderson@citypaper.net)

GAINSBOURG: A HEROIC LIFE|AIn 1941, 13-year-old Lucien Ginsburg (Kacey Mottet Klein) notices new placards in shop windows on the streets of occupied Paris, images of big-nosed Jews with glaring eyes. Startled when one of these monstrous cartoons comes to life and follows him down the street, the boy walks into a Militärverwaltung office and asks for his gold star. The soldiers are surprised: “Who do you think you are?” He answers quickly: “I’m Jewish. My father plays piano at the bar.” Thus the boy who grows up to be Serge Gainsbourg (Eric Elmosnino) describes the struggle that will shape him. Graphic novelist Joann Sfar’s film shows the artist repeatedly inspired and troubled by the world around him, from the father who chastises him, to the Nazis who torment him, to the fans and women who love him. Fearful and rebellious, bold and self-destructive, he lives a “heroic life,” here depicted in broad, strange and occasionally brilliant strokes. Imagining the artist’s internal life, full of passions and terrors, monsters and muses, this biopic questions that very concept of heroism. His most constant companion is La Gueule (the ever-flexible Doug Jones), essentially a large nose atop a spindly figure, part caricature, part figment and part projection — what Gainsbourg might have thought others saw when they looked at him. Something like an alter ego, La Gueule goads and comforts Gainsbourg. A self-creation premised on contradictions, Serge Gainsbourg here is produced by his life — and vice versa. —Cindy Fuchs (Ritz at the Bourse)

J. EDGAR|C Clint Eastwood’s penchant for sweeping out the dusty corners of bygone eras is done no favors by his intermittently interesting bundling of the private J. Edgar Hoover, more myopic than biopic. Starting with a neutered, latter-days Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) recounting his successes to a series of rapt and handsome male agents and plodding between past and present from there, Eastwood tracks the famously eccentric FBI founder from his underling beginnings to his position atop the Bureau heap, a post he lorded over like The One Ring for almost 40 years. Whether hogging all public credit for splashy cases like John Dillinger and the Lindbergh Baby or blackmailing Kennedys and Roosevelts with horrific stockpiles of information, DiCaprio’s Hoover is a twitchy, odious caricature, one whose paranoia and unchecked power hunger are clunkily attributed to youknow-who: mother Annie (trademark chilly Judi Dench), who combats her son’s gay proclivities by warning him that she’d “rather have a dead son than a daffodil for a son.” (Yes, there is a cross-dressing scene, and it’s about as poignant and relevant as weeping Leo DiCaprio in a muumuu and beaded necklace can be. It’s stilted and stupid.) To that end, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk) does well parsing the man’s much-dissected preferences, stoking real human warmth between Hoover and his suspected lover, Clyde Tolson (The Social Network’s Armie Hammer), all the while hinting that Hoover was perhaps too stilted to be classified as anything but asexual. But these moments are infrequent, as Eastwood is too fixated on his jumping-bean narrative to think about whether we care about the people who comprise it. —Drew Lazor (Ritz Five)

50/50|B Jonathan Levine’s new film is being touted as a “cancer comedy” from the Apatow camp that basically consists of Seth Rogen reacting to his best friend’s potentially fatal condition with hilarious one-liners. But that description is a false diagnosis. Will

Reiser’s script, based on his own experience as a young cancer survivor, takes a more nuanced approach, perfectly willing to find comedy in a horrible situation but equally unafraid of venturing into downright sentimental territory. It lunges too far in each direction at times, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt evens out the film’s uneasiest tonal shifts, conveying a range of warring emotions from rage to frustration to incomprehension. —Shaun Brady (UA Riverview)

‘‘A STRIKINGLY ORIGINAL LOVE STORY. ’’

[ movie shorts ]

nut of John Orloff’s story is that Shakespeare’s plays were written not by poor Will, but by Edward de Vere (Rhys Ifans), a nobleman unwilling to sacrifice his station to the lowly profession of playwriting. Crackpot theories aside, it seems as if there’s an intelligent core to Orloff’s script, but director Roland Emmerich is hopelessly out of his depth. —Sam Adams (Ritz at the Bourse)

LIKE CRAZY|CDrake Doremus’ low-key weeper charts the transatlantic travails of a young couple (Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin) in a long-distance relationship. The film’s improvisational style facilitates a strong turn from Jones as a privileged Brit who doesn’t seem to understand that overstaying her student visa can have irrevocable consequences, but it also makes for shapeless scenes and the monotonous rhythm of separations and reunions. Most critically, Doremus asserts the couple’s bond rather than instilling it, which is to say it feels more like a structural obligation than a perfect match. —S.A. (Ritz East) MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE|B+ Elizabeth Olsen makes a striking debut in Sean Durkin’s movie about a young woman decompressing from her time in a nebulously defined cult. The details of the group to which she belonged are left vague, but whatever beliefs they might espouse are less important than the sense of belonging. Whatever’s happened to her, she’s damaged beyond all but extensive repair, and it’s not clear what it will take her to mend. Durkin’s assured if over-arty approach can make for frustrating watching, but Olsen grounds the film with the assurance of a seasoned pro. —S.A. (Ritz Five) MOZART’S SISTER|B+

Older sister to the puckish Wolfgang (David Moreau), Nannerl Mozart (Marie Féret) is a subservient wallflower in a family of traveling musicians. She’s an accomplished violinist, harpsichordist, pianist and singer, but she hasn’t quite mastered the skill of confidence. Who can blame her with a brother like Wolfgang? With five heavy bricks of sadness for every gram of happiness, Mozart’s Sister jolts us into a patriarchal world of prejudice and limited opportunities.

THE SKIN I LIVE IN|AAntonio Banderas plays Robert Ledgard, a cosmetic surgeon obsessed with creating a more durable synthetic replacement for human skin. His guinea pig is a woman (Elena Anaya) who lives locked in an upstairs room in his massive house, her body covered by a form-fitting suit and her face encased in a translucent mask. Watching her exterior tells us little; it’s the way the pieces fit together that reveals. The Skin I Live In is Pedro Almodóvar’s best film in more than a decade, supremely

The third Harold & Kumar works familiar territory with a handful of pretty decent new jokes. It’s been six years since the two college stoners landed at Gitmo. As life has pushed Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) apart, circumstances pull them together, beginning with a quest to replace a flamed-out Christmas tree and eventually putting them on the wrong side of a Russian mobster (Elias Koteas) and Santa Claus himself. The 3D provides the opportunity for a handful of gags, often about the surge in subpar 3D, but mostly just accounts for an unnecessary bump in the ticket price. —S.A. (Pearl, Roxy, UA Riverview)

³ IF THE HOT dogs at South Street’s Hot Diggity! were actual dogs, they’d be greyhound rescues. Long and skinny, the all-beef Sabrett franks are tasty, with a light smokiness and a natural-casing snap; but without the additions this linkery piles on, they’d shiver themselves into a coma. Nothing wrong with Sabrett, but when the buns are square-shouldered Liscio’s and the toppings come four or five at a time, only a plumper dog will do. Three-quarters through each creation I tried, I was eating bread and toppings. And yet I still have a strange, intense affection for this funny mint-green shop. Managing partner Keith Garabedian and his three high school buddies have carved out a culinary niche. From biweekly Bad Movie Nights to the cool craft soda collection, there’s a joy and spunk here that’s infectious. The franks aren’t the point, anyway. Each dog has several toppings, listed on posters by illustrator Hawk Krall. The dressed dogs jet-set from Chicago (the Windy City, sprinkled with celery salt) to Mexico (a Fiesta Dog dressed like a taco) to Hawaii (the Big Kahuna, with guava mustard, grilled onions, pineapple salsa and habañero aioli). Of the five dogs I sampled, the Kahuna was my favorite; while it sounds overwrought, each islandinspired condiment had its own glimmer.The muskiness of the mustard. The al pastor-like bite of the pineapple. The kick of the mayo. The sweetness of the onions. Each component came through. The fresh, crunchy Saigon Fusion came in second, getting the banh mi treatment with house-pickled cukes, carrots, cilantro and jalapeños, and I also liked the special Oktoberfest dog. A Thanksgiving dog is on for November, but it’ll be hard to best October’s outfit of rauchbier mustard, cornichons, fresh horseradish and red cabbage pickled with green apple and juniper. The bacon-wrapped Texas Hold-Em, striped with Percy Street’s Old Faithful sauce, and Cincinnati Skyline, loaded with nacho cheese and house-made chili, brought up the rear. Do not miss the fries, piled in paper cones that rest in round holes along the communal tables. Hot, brown and salty, the blocky Belgian frites are some of the best in town, served with 15 sauces for a quarter each. Baked beans with pork belly were just introduced this week. They’re a side, but I certainly wouldn’t mind them on a dog. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

BRAISEWORTHY: The beginnings of chef Jeremy Nolen’s sauerbraten at Brauhaus Schmitz. Preparing the traditional German dish takes a full week. NEAL SANTOS

[ slow and steady ]

GOING LONG Why all the best fall dishes take forever to cook. By Brion Shreffler

ith so many of us claiming we’ve got no time to cook, there’s much to learn from chefs who show us what’s possible once you slow things down. Many multi-step, multi-day, long-haul dishes, in addition to being entrenched within specific cultures, are deeply connected to the calendar, with an emphasis on manipulating fat in an unobtrusive way. “It’s More on: indicative of the season — you’re not going to do these heavy braises in July,” says chef Chris Painter of Il Pittore, whose menu nods to the oldworld predilection for slow-cooked everything. But Italy is far from the only country to specialize in painstaking preparation. Take Brauhaus Schmitz chef Jeremy Nolen’s sauerbraten. Lean yet juicy, every iota of flavor is summoned and strengthened by a prolonged process. Nolen places large pieces of beef rump in a red wine and red wine vinegar marinade with whole peppercorns, allspice, star anise, bay leaf, juniper berries, cloves and onions and lets it go for a full week. That vinegar is key, both to the science behind the marinade and the sauerbraten’s resultant taste, a marriage of acidic tang with lush, beefy flavor. In addition to denaturing protein, the vinegar complements the flavors of a less tender cut of meat that requires

time to reach its potential. After marinating, Nolen braises the meat in the same liquid, nudging the pieces into cords. The beef’s mild tang is amplified by sauerbraten’s traditional accompaniment, a sharp side of red cabbage. Similar levels of patience are required in the kitchen at Matyson, where Ben Puchowitz serves pork cheeks. “You can’t just sear them,” he says, as you’d end up with a nasty, chewy mess. “You’re spending labor to make a tough cut of meat into something much more amazing that what you started with.” Puchowitz begins by searing salt into the raw cheeks ahead of adding apples, jalapeño, garlic, carrot, onions and celery, along with star anise, cinnamon, brown sugar and white wine. From here, the cheeks braise at a low temp for hours, the MORE FOOD AND best way to make the fat manageable. The DRINK COVERAGE cheeks sit overnight, which helps the fat AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / separate. The next day, Puchowitz adds M E A LT I C K E T. fresh vegetables, apples, bacon and Napa cabbage and stews it carefully on the stovetop. When ready to serve, the well-wrought fattiness of the cheeks is cut by the addition of pickled mustard seeds and a squeeze of lime juice. Painter’s slo-mo treatment of pork, meanwhile, involves him packing suckling pigs in salt overnight before giving them the confit treatment: cooking them in their own fat for as long as six hours, then storing them overnight so they reabsorb it all. The next day, Painter removes the bones, presses the meat down flat with trays stacked with heavy cans and lets it sit overnight once more. The day after, he cuts out porcine rectangles and pan-roasts them. “The skin at this point is very thin and crispy, especially due to the curing’s >>> continued on adjacent page

help, which pulls all the fat out,” Painter explains. Indeed, with this brand of cooking, fat is an asset never to be wasted. That’s why Pierre Calmels doesn’t press his terrines. “The fat would be pushed down to the bottom and the top layer would be dry — [it] has to be even,” says the Bibou chef on a day when he’s serving pheasant leg terrine. The bird’s gaminess is reined in by the additions of salty pork and foie gras in a 60-20-20 ratio. The Frenchman marinates everything overnight in salt, pepper and brandy — fudging this time is doubly risky, as the alcohol requires hours to bind, and a terrine produced with overmoist, undercured meat will crumble apart. Grinding follows, then the addition of pistachio and cranberry for color. Everything’s then mixed with egg and heavy cream and layered into a mold that sits in a water bath inside a 350-degree oven. From here it has to rest overnight again to ensure cooling and binding is complete. When it’s done, Calmels slices the terrine and serves it with house-pickled chanterelles and onions and an indulgent, seasonally friendly chestnut purée. At The Farmers’ Cabinet, Jason Goodman furthers fatbased Gallic advocacy with another classic: torchon au foie gras. He splits foie lobes into pieces, adds curing salt, cracked pepper, thyme and fresh bay leaf before bathing them in cognac, Madeira and sauterne for 24 hours. “You need that time to let the flavors penetrate the foie,” says Goodman. He then poaches it in duck fat ahead of it being pushed through a tamis to create a creamy consistency. Goodman then reapplies the marinade to work in more flavor before cooling the liver and rapidly wrapping and hanging it in rolls for another 24-hour period. Two days after starting, Goodman can plate up the torchon with fruit accompaniments and duck-fat-painted brioche. Han Dynasty’s Han Chiang, on par with the aforementioned braises, loads up fat with flavor before returning it to its source in controlled measure. His restaurant’s tea-smoked duck bears Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, ginger and salt via a marinade applied to whole quackers for a full day. The birds air-dry the next day to tighten up before the process of smoking over wood chips and tea. After that, the duck is braised in a broth made from the marinade, rushing in fat and flavor-rich moisture before it’s shredded. The kitchen stir-fries the meat with ginger and scallion and serves it with crisp wisps of green pepper and ginger. You’re not getting hit with the full brunt of flavors — the caramelized skin and chewy meat, the permeating smokiness — without that initial marinating process. “It takes all that time and care — you can’t get that flavor any other way,” says Chiang. “If you miss a step, the texture and the flavor will be off.” “There are rules that many people took years to establish,” says Calmels of why he sides with tradition where labor is concerned. “Anybody can take a shortcut. But I have time to do it — so why not do it right?” (restaurants@citypaper.net)

MS. COMPLICATED

You ask me to show you the ropes right? But, then you act like I am bothering you when I call to ask you what is going on, I am not understanding what it is that you want from me! You seem like you want me to put my money down on something that doesn’t make sense! You need to make up your mind, tell me what you want and I shall provide, does that make sense!

Here we fucking go again, why do you call me, then I call you back if I get a message, and you don’t answer the damn phone! What the fuck is that about, it doesn’t make any sense because it like you are playing some type of game with my mind or something and it getting on my nerves, I rather you not even call at all. I hope you are reading this because I am not calling you, you just have to wait until I answer my phone number, then you know right then and there if I am available when I answer, I really don’t have time for your games!

FUCK YOU! You make me sick so much! I want to say fuck you because you always make believe that everything is fine and it is not! You want to steal from me, you want me to believe that you are working hard and you are not! It doesn’t make any sense, how are you able to get away with the shit that you are doing. Can we just sit back and relax and try not to worry about dumb shit! A big fuck you to you and all that you do!

and get married, and do some wonderful things together! I know that you and I could really keep things special. I want us to be together and I want us to be happy! You are #1 in my book and I don’t ever want that to be taken away!

OBSESSION Hey Freaky neighbor, I see you in all capacities, you think that I don’t see you and I do see you, I know that you are watching me, why don’t you just say something, I am tired of coming home and you drive up and say hey then look at me all long until you drive around the corner, this

leave the fucking shower cap in the house you non classy bitch!

THANK YOU HOTTIE! To the young lady that helped me out with the item that I was looking for it was refreshing to get helped by such an attractive female, that I didn’t speak slang or sound like she was uneducated it also didn’t help that you were very attractive looking, as you were ringing up my item I couldn’t help not to undress you with my eyes, with your little sexy slim self. I think I am going to come back in your store and buy something so that I can see you again!

TRAIN RIDE I enjoyed the pleasantries on riding the train the other day, but when I got on the bus to continue my ride home, I noticed you siting across from me, I couldn’t believe that I was experiencing love at first sight. I sat there in a daze and was thinking to myself what do I do? So I decided to give you my phone number, from then on it has been magic, I love you and I can’t wait to see you ever!

GOOD RIDDANCE BITCH I considered you one of my closest friends but you betrayed me, how come when you put something smart or important or intellegent on facebook you have a need to say something smart and disrespectful it is shame that there are people are who are intellegent about a news worthy event and you take them down a notch it is obviousus when you were in high school that you cut class and it shows, but is all cool though, that is why I never came out there when you invited me to your house, and you know what also, you a dumb ass bitch! Why don’t you get a real fucking job and stop living off of tax payers money!

WHO CARES You keep making these suggestions but nobody is listening to you! Why do you keep wasting everyone’s time opening your mouth with your nonsense, is there anyone that gives a fuck please raise your hand. I am tired of the whole thing and basically over it! I wish sometimes that I could slap you in your face and say “shut up the face” that would hopefully make you be quiet at least 3 times out of the week!

WORRY-SOME BITCH

This could go to a couple of folks, but the one that it goes to I think he knows who he is...you make me sick so bad, with your two-faced self. You make me wish that I could of went back in time and made birth-control retroactive, I hate you so much! I wonder sometimes why you are alive, how come you are so back-stabed. Is this because you have no girlfriend, no life nothing to look forward to when you go home! I could just punch you in your face so fucking hard, you would probably look worse than you do now! Everything comes back buddy! Just so that you know! Just think at one time I felt sorry for you!

To the stupid neighbor, you dumb ass bitch you make me sick because you know that your boyfriend is cheating on you and you keep asking me for advice, and not taking it. I am staying the fuck out of your business and since his dick is way little how much action do you really think that you are getting! I hate seeing you and I know that your birthday is this week. I will not bother you because I know that you are probably worrying about if he is cheating on you or not! Who gives a damn, why can’t you move on with your life, the other neighbors agree and we are tired of hearing the bullshit!

KISSES IN THE MORNING!

YOUR SEX

I sometimes cant wait until the morning time comes because I get myself ready for work then I look over at you and kiss you, and I whisper to you in your ear, I love you so much! I want you to know how much I care about you and this will be my tradition for like forever! I can’t wait to see you and be with you! Thank you so much for being in my life!

Oh my goodness, how you made me feel was incredible because you woke me up and didn’t mind that I asked for sex 3 times, you fulfilled all my needs and desires! I have to admit that I am hooked on you and I can’t wait to see you again! I couldn’t believe how you made me feel and how I felt after! The entire time, was about about you and I, it was nothing else. You are just so gentle with my body, I couldn’t imagine not seeing you or having you in my presence. You are one in a million! I adore you!

To my baby...I love you and I know that you love me too. I just want us to become closer than a couple should be I want you to be there when I wake up in the morning and even when I prepare to go to sleep. You are so important to me and it is necessary that we keep the lines of communication open and ready for whatever negativity that is coming our way! I love you so much!

MY GROCERY MAN I am so happy when you came home with groceries, I couldn’t believe it, I almost swallowed my own tongue, it was the best thing that any man has done in any lifetime, where the fuck have you been all my life! I want us to be together

is getting a little creepy! I wish your obsession you just come into a reality and just be what it is going to be! You are just a weird person, if you don’t say something to me within the week, I am going to say something to you and I hope that you are ready, because I am coming at you with full force!

STUPID HOOD-RAT CHICK! Did you even bother to look at yourself before you walked out the house, you look like a piece of trash with that damn shower cap on your head. It was obvious that your parents didn’t raise you right because you would not have came out the house like. Next time you come out the house do your fucking hair and stop being lazy. And also,
