Conductor Peter Nero is being sued for defamation for calling his former employers at Philly Pops “crooks dressed in $3,000 suits” who “didn’t know a thing about the music business.” Harsh, but if there’s anybody who can stick it to those fat-cat squares, it’s a guy who raked in a half-million bucks a year doing “That’s Amore.”

oncern about the credibility of Philadelphia’s conviction review unit deepened last week when District Attorney Seth Williams tapped the unit’s newly minted director to also oversee a high-profile political-corruption probe.

Williams named prosecutor Mark Gilson to supervise a grand jury investigation into four state legislators and a Traffic Court judge who allegedly received cash and gifts without reporting them.

In April, after lengthy resistance, Williams created the conviction review unit to review possible false convictions and appointed Gilson as its leader and sole member.

Pennsylvania Innocence Project legal director Marissa Boyers Bluestine says the DA’s move has prompted new concerns. “As there are still no other staff members assigned to reviewing cases of innocence, we have new reservations about the District Attorney’s commitment to this endeavor,” she says.

Williams’ move comes at a time when prosecutors around the country have begun to aggressively review possible wrongful convictions.

At a press conference on Thursday, Williams brushed aside the suggestion that Gilson’s new assignment would hamper his search for innocent prisoners and said that insufficient funding required

many talented staffers in his office to perform multiple tasks.

Williams said if he were the “manager of the Phillies and it was the seventh game of the World Series, I’d give the ball to Mark Gilson.”

The District Attorney’s Office denied a request to interview Gilson, and asked that questions be submitted by e-mail. There has been no response to those questions.

Williams became a high-profile antagonist of state Attorney General Kathleen Kane after the Inquirer revealed in March that she quietly dropped the corruption investigation, saying it was badly managed and tainted by racism. Critics like prosecutor Frank Fina, who led the state investigation but now works for Williams, say the case was solid.

It’s not unusual for prosecutors to make their political careers on high-profile cases — and increasingly in Pennsylvania by criticizing and investigating the cases of other prosecutors. Gov. Tom Corbett, the former Republican state attorney general, rode the “Bonusgate” and “Computergate” prosecutions of state legislators into office.

Kane, his Democratic successor, was elected after a campaign that accused Corbett of soft-pedaling the child sex-abuse allegations against Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky for political gain.

But on Monday, her office released a long-awaited and detailed independent report — and it found no evidence that Corbett had done so.

The DA’s move prompted new concerns.

FBI RAIDS KENSINGTON CLINIC WITH POLITICAL TIES

By Ryan Briggs

O

n Monday, the FBI conducted a late-morning search-andseizure operation at a Kensington mental health clinic with significant political connections. Sources reported seeing FBI agents going in and out of the Juniata Community Mental Health Clinic (JCMHC), near Fifth and Huntingdon Streets, through Monday afternoon, and an FBI spokesperson confirmed that the clinic was the target of “law-enforcement activities.”

JCMHC was the subject of a City Paper article last month that detailed allegations of Medicaid fraud and employee discrimination outlined in a whistleblower lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court by an ex-employee.

The raid and lawsuit are notable because JCMHC has ties to ward leader Carlos Matos and his wife, former Deputy City Commissioner Renee Tartaglione, and former ward leader Sandy Acosta, the mother of state representative hopeful Leslie Acosta.

Significantly, the lawsuit, which seeks compensation for wrongful termination, also alleges that Matos, a felon convicted of bribing three Atlantic City councilmen, had been acting as the clinic’s director last year. Those accusations contradict state records and Matos’ own claim that he no longer has any role at JCMHC. Matos had been on the clinic’s payroll in the past and, during a probation related to his bribery charge, received mental health

Williams’ announced grand jury investigation will allow him to bask in the media spotlight for an extended run. But the predicament facing his political nemesis, Kane, is a reminder that good criminaljustice policy is not always made in the court of public opinion. ➤ IN 2013, prosecutors and law enforcement contributed to 38 per-

cent of exonerations nationwide, according to the National Registry of Exonerations, which found that “police and prosecutors appear to be taking increasingly active roles in reinvestigating possible false convictions, and to be more responsive to claims of innocence from convicted defendants.”

Conviction review units, also known as conviction integrity units, have in recent years been created in district attorneys’ offices in a number of cities, including Dallas, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

In Brooklyn, newly-elected DA Ken Thompson’s conviction integrity unit includes a large staff and an outside panel of three lawyers to advise it. Thompson made wrongful convictions a top campaign issue, and his office has already exonerated eight people this year.

“Brooklyn, so far, appears to be a model,” says Rob Warden, executive director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University’s School of Law. “It’s a little early to tell, but it’s certainly had more success than any other program in the country that is doing non-DNA cases.”

In Dallas, the unit is led by a former defense attorney who works collaboratively with outside lawyers and innocence projects. In contrast, Manhattan’s is run by a prosecutor and has been accused of being hostile toward defendants. In Philadelphia, Gilson is the sole person assigned — and he is a longtime homicide prosecutor.

treatment at JCMHC while he was also employed there as a therapist.

Matos’ wife is not named in the suit, but according to the city’s Department of Behavioral Health, an agency that provides a portion of JCMHC’s funding, Tartaglione is listed as the president of the clinic’s board of directors. Maria Matos, the couple’s daughter and a former employee for the city’s Register of Wills, is listed as its vice president.

Officially, Sandy Acosta, wife of former state Rep. Ralph Acosta, is listed on state filings as the clinic’s administrator. Their daughter, Leslie Acosta, who won a Democratic primary election last month for the 197th state rep seat, said in a phone interview Tuesday that she had volunteered at the clinic in 2005, helping out with ”paperwork.”

She added that she had not been involved in operations “for years and years.” However, later in the same conversation she recanted that statement, claiming she had never volunteered at JCMHC. According to a biography on the younger Acosta’s campaign website, she also has served on the board of the Bucks County Mental Health Clinic in Bristol. Articles of incorporation for that clinic indicate that her mother also served as a board member. That clinic was taken over by a new company over a year ago, and neither serves on the board at present.

The Kensington clinic’s past extends beyond the raid and the lawsuit. State inspection records from 2013 show numerous violations, mostly related to a failure to conduct criminal background checks for clinic employees. Later inspection reports say those

problems were resolved.

Additionally, JCMHC had originally incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, but that status lapsed in 2006. The IRS filed a tax lien for $11,000 against the clinic in 2009 for unpaid taxes. However, it’s not clear if any of these issues are related to the current FBI investigation.

Regional FBI spokesperson Carrie Adamowski says no arrests were made during Monday’s raid and declined to give additional details about the nature of the Bureau’s investigation. Nationally, the FBI has conducted six high-profile sting operations since the creation of a Medicare/ Medicaid fraud strike force in 2007, including one last month that netted 90 arrests in six cities.

Reports surfaced several months ago purporting that Matos and other individuals affiliated with the clinic had received FBI target letters, informing them that they were the subject of an ongoing investigation.

Neither Matos nor his lawyer, Geoffrey Johnson, responded to requests for comment. (ryan.briggs@citypaper.net)

It is unclear what kind of unit Williams will embrace and what sort of criteria he will use to reopen old cases. Conviction-integrity units can focus on cases where there is strong evidence that the defendants are innocent. But the Brooklyn and Dallas offices are also looking at cases where defendants should not have been convicted because of serious constitutional errors at trial, according to The Crime Report online news service.

“The key in my mind is transparency,” says John Hollway, executive director of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice. In Philadelphia, the public has not yet heard much at all.

Bluestine has called on Williams to fully staff Philadelphia’s unit.

She said her office had had “several productive meetings” with Gilson, and said that two hard-won exonerations that were announced last week “present the perfect opportunity for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office to investigate how two innocent men came to be convicted of a murder neither one committed.”

On the same day that Williams announced Gilson’s new assignment, his office also dropped charges against Eugene Gilyard and Lance Felder, two North Philadelphia men who served long prison terms for the 1995 murder of Thomas Keal.

Common Pleas Court Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi ordered a new trial for Gilyard and Felder in October after a man named Ricky Welborn made a detailed confession to committing the murder. DeFino-Nastasi also said that the original “evidence supporting the convictions,” limited to contradictory eyewitness identifications, “was terribly weak.”

The District Attorney had aggressively fought to keep them imprisoned and still refuses to concede that a miscarriage of justice took place. Hollway, who is currently preparing a report on effective conviction integrity units, says that it is important to devise methods to identify errors and their causes — and then to apply that new learning to future cases.

While the Pennsylvania Innocence Project has frequently butted heads with Williams, it has had a productive relationship with Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey. In May, the Project gave him its “Hero of Justice Award” for agreeing to implement major reforms, including the video-recording of all homicide-related interrogations and improvements to photoidentification methods.

“I think it’s just a matter of taking it seriously,” says Northwestern’s Warden, who noted that the conviction-integrity in Chicago’s Cook County, “pretty much reminds me of George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth — to give lip service to the idea of wrongful convictions without actually doing anything substantial.”

Innocence advocates hope that won’t be the case in Philadelphia. (daniel.denvir@citypaper.net)

END THE WEED WAR â&#x17E;¤ CITY COUNCILMAN JIM KENNEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S effort to

decriminalize marijuana in Philadelphia is finally paying off. Last week, Council approved legislation by a 13-3 veto-proof majority that would impose a $25 fine for small-time marijuana possession and discourage police from making arrests.

This is an important victory for common sense, and for civil rights: 83 percent of the 4,314 marijuana-possession arrests city police made in 2013 were of African-Americans, many of whom were caught up in the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop-and-frisk dragnet.

But drug warriors like Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey plan to resist, telling the Inquirer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we still have to treat it as a misdemeanor.â&#x20AC;?

Back in January, Ramsey said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;in favor of being able to write a citation for minor possession as opposed to actually having a physical arrest taking officers off the street.â&#x20AC;? Ramsey told me that he changed his mind after consulting with District Attorney Seth Williams and the city courts.

So I contacted Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spokesperson, Tasha Jamerson. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;By law, all misdemeanors in the commonwealth require an arrest by police.â&#x20AC;?

But no statute exists, according to criminal-law experts.

Pressed on the matter, Jamerson pointed to a law requiring those arrested or who have received a summons for misdemeanors to be fingerprinted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, if you back up a step, there is nothing that says an arrest is mandatory. And although state law does classify minor marijuana possession as a misdemeanor, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear that local police actually need to bring such a charge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lower Merion does not.

Mayor Nutter has not said whether he will sign the bill, but it is difficult to believe that Ramsey would oppose it without Nutterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s tacit support.

Ultimately, marijuana use will be legal. Nutter, Ramsey and Williams should get out of the way and embrace decriminalization now. (daniel.denvir@citypaper.net)

But when his troubles were over, hers had just begun.

B Y E M I LY G U E N D E L S B E R G E R

ne thing that nobody disagrees about: Joseph Yourshaw wanted to die.

“He talked about it to anyone who would listen to him,” says his daughter, Barbara Mancini, 58. “He said he didn’t want to be a burden on my mom, he didn’t like living like that, he didn’t like being old, he hurt all over.”

Mancini, an emergency room nurse, lives in Roxborough, two hours away from her parents’

8 | P H I L A D E L P H I A C I T Y PA P E R |

J U N E 2 6 - J U L Y 2 , 2 0 1 4 | C I T Y PA P E R . N E T

home in Pottsville. She helped her father with the official parts of the big decisions he made about his end-of-life care — helping him make a living will and a Do Not Resuscitate order (DNR) in 2010, when he was 91, and serving as his health-care power of attorney.

Her father would often tell her that he wanted to die, she says. “I usually wouldn’t say anything, I’d just listen to him. I’d say, ‘I know, Dad. I know you don’t like living like this.’ What am I going to say? ‘I know it’s hard for you.’”

The constant talk of death was rough on

Yourshaw’s wife, Marguerite, who was 83 at the time.

“But he needed to say it,” says Mancini. “He said it to me, he said it to anyone who came in the house.”

He certainly said it to employees of the Hospice of Central Pennsylvania — their notes on Yourshaw from periods in 2012 and 2013, when he was enrolled in their home-care program, read like a broken record. Under the heading Most Important to Patient Now, hospice workers wrote, over and over: “Pt [patient] wants to die,” “pt states he is ready to die,” “just wants to die.” His DNR is also noted in every entry.

Records from Yourshaw’s first hospice stay in spring of 2012 note that he was refusing to take any medicines for his high blood pressure or diabetes, and that “he is trying to ‘will himself to die’ by refusing to eat, take meds, etc. ... Pt. appears to be trying very hard to die a.s.a.p.”

But he couldn’t seem to die.

So he tried a little harder. A few weeks after his enrollment, HCP charts note that Yourshaw, a model diabetic who’d eschewed bread and spaghetti for decades, had “drastically increased his intake of sugar (in the form of candy) in last 1-2 weeks.”

Most Important to Patient Now, April 4: “To have his wishes respected.”

But Yourshaw still couldn’t seem to die. In fact, his condition was deemed stable enough to leave hospice in June 2012.

So he tried a little harder. When Yourshaw returned to HCP care in mid-January 2013, he was doing a lot worse. Charts note that his diet now consisted of “mostly sugar foods such as candy and soda.” Soon, he was sleeping 18 to 20 hours a day, waking up to lug himself to the bathroom and to eat more candy. Jan. 30: “Again states that he doesn’t know why he can’t die.”

So he tried a little harder. And this is where people start disagreeing.

• •• O N T H E M O R N I N G of Feb. 7, 2013, after a year and a half of trying to die, Joseph Yourshaw was done waiting. While his wife was out to lunch, he told his daughter he was in pain, and asked her to hand him his hospice-prescribed bottle of morphine. She did. Yourshaw swallowed what remained in the small bottle. He and his daughter then talked for a while. Eventually, he fell asleep as she held his hand. “I just sat there with him,” says Mancini. “I was not about to call and take him to the hospital, because he never wanted to go to the hospital for anything. He made that clear to all of us.”

But, even then, Yourshaw couldn’t seem to die.

He woke up in an emergency room a few hours later. A hospice nurse had stopped by the house, and his daughter had briefed her on what had happened with the morphine. “I didn’t think I had anything to hide!” says Mancini. “It didn’t even occur to me to concoct a story, or not to mention it.”

Mancini had explained to the nurse that her father wanted to die, and that he had a DNR on file.

To her shock, the nurse called 911, and the police and paramedics arrived. “I told them, ‘He asked me for his morphine, and I handed it to him,’ and they said, ‘Well, let’s go to the hospital,’” says Mancini.

Despite her pleading, Yourshaw was loaded into the ambulance and taken to the hospital. “I said, ‘He’s suffering! He wants to die!’ And that got turned into, ‘She gave him his morphine so he could die.’” That phrasing appears many times in official documentation of what happened.

“So he gets taken off to the hospital; I get taken off to the police station,” says Mancini. As she was being booked on charges of causing or aiding suicide, her father was being given a dose of Narcan, a drug designed to counter heroin overdoses in addicts. The hospice records note: “Pt responded by awakening within 30 seconds of receiving the Narcan. He was able to talk and he kept saying over and over —‘Don’t let them hurt Barbara.’” The ER records note: “After Narcan given, pt. became very active, pulling off gown, trying to climb [out of bed], pulling at heart monitor, mitts applied.”

Says Mancini: “He’d obviously heard what was going on in the house. He was livid. My sister-in-law said she’d never seen him so angry in 30 years.”

Immediately after Yourshaw was revived, a hospice worker, for once, got a different answer from him than his usual wishes for death. Most Important to Patient Now, Feb. 7: “Wants to see Barbara and make sure no one hurts her.”

When Mancini was released by police and arrived at the hospital, though, she was barred from visiting her father in the ER. By the time she was able to see him that night, she says, “His eyes weren’t open; he wasn’t talking or anything. I mean, I said things to him; whether he heard me or not, that’s anybody’s guess.”

In the hospital, Yourshaw developed bedsores, a rash where he’d been catheterized and pneumonia.

He hung on for four days — possibly the first time in a year he’d been trying to live rather than die, aware as he was that his daughter could be in serious trouble over his death.

Joseph Yourshaw finally managed to die on Feb. 11, 2013. But his daughter’s problems were just beginning. His death was ruled a homicide, and the state hit Mancini with felony charges that could have resulted in a 10-year prison sentence. And though the case against her was so flimsy that it was thrown out before it went to trial, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office pursued it aggressively.

On Feb. 11, 2014, the anniversary of Yourshaw’s death, Schuylkill County Court of Common Pleas Judge Jacqueline Russell granted Mancini’s petition for habeas corpus. Her written opinion contained harsh words for Kathleen Kane and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office: “As the case presented to the Court would not warrant a

submission to a jury due to the lack of competent evidence elicited by the Commonwealth” and “reliance on speculation and guess serving as an inappropriate means to prove its case.”

But an extended prosecution can make even such a slam-bang ruling feel like a Pyrrhic victory.

“The case was dismissed, but I’m going to be dealing with the fallout from this for a long, long time,” says Mancini in an exclusive interview a few months after the ruling, as she was about to return to work after nine months of unpaid leave. “My defense cost $104,000. I’m a nurse, my husband’s a paramedic. We’re not wealthy.” Major death-withdignity nonprofit Compassion & Choices contributed $20,000 from its legal defense fund, Mancini says, but it’s still a lot. “I’ve got a child in college and a 16-year-old who wants to go to college someday, so …” She gives a pained laugh. “I’m going to be 58 in a couple days, and my husband’s 57, and we think that we probably won’t retire, ever.”

But that’s not what bothers her the most. “I will be forever haunted by the way my father’s life ended,” she says. “He suffered tremendously in the hospital.

Not only physically — the anguish that he died with knowing that I was in trouble because of him asking me to hand him his medicine. … I cannot imagine I’ll ever get over that.”

It seemed very much like Mancini and her lawyers had been prepared for an appeals-court battle challenging the constitutionality of the “causing or aiding suicide” statute under which she was charged. But the flimsiness of the commonwealth’s case against her caused the charges to be dismissed

before it even went to trial. The vague wording of the law that caused Mancini’s hellish year is still unaddressed, which means everything that happened to Mancini and her father — the felony charges, the year of prosecution, the debt, the overruled DNR, the prolonged death, the horrible memories — could easily happen to another family.

• •• “H E C O U L D BU I L D anything, and he could fix anything,” Mancini says of her father. “He could do anything. My mom likes to say that she never had to call a repairman for anything until the last year of my dad’s life. And he was really smart, very opinionated. Hated Ronald Reagan. He was a champion for the regular guy. Read a lot of periodicals.”

Joseph Yourshaw was, above all, fiercely independent. When he retired from contracting in his late 70s, he hadn’t had a boss in nearly half a century — his last one was in World War II, where he was awarded a Bronze Star for bravery for repairing bombed-out tanks on the front lines during the Battle of the Bulge.

Mancini says that her father got a little forgetful in the last few years of his life. But his mind was clear, and he’d never been diagnosed with dementia or anything that would make him incompetent to make his own decisions about his end-of-life care.

In October of 2012, between his first and second stints in hospice, the Pottsville Historical Society interviewed him about his WWII Army experiences. continued on page 10

“I thought that I was doing the right thing. I assumed that when we engaged a hospice, they were gonna do the right thing. That was a really bad judgment.”

“He described at length where he served, the tanks he worked on, all kinds of stuff, in great detail,” says Mancini. “I never understood that stuff, but if someone was mechanically inclined, they could spend hours talking about how all these engines worked.”

Even after retiring, he renovated and did repairs on a five-acre property the Yourshaws had bought in Florida. “He rebuilt the deck around the pool.

He knocked out a brick wall and put these decorative windows in. He’d get up on the roof. He did the entire cement driveway by himself,” says Mancini.

“Here’s something funny that gives you an idea of what kind of guy he was — when he was 83, he was down in Florida and Mom was up in Pottsville, and he called her and told her she needed to come down and bring him some crutches because he’d fallen down a couple times and hurt himself,” Mancini says with a laugh. “So she gets in the car with my brother-in-law and they start to drive down to Florida with these crutches.

“So I call my dad, ask him what’s going on, and he told me he couldn’t walk right and had fallen down a couple times. I say, ‘Dad, you need to call 911 and get to the hospital, you might be having a stroke.’

And he’s, like, ‘No, no, I’m fine, I just need your mother to bring me the crutches.’” I tried and I tried to convince him, but he wouldn’t do it.” Eventually Mancini called his doctor, who was able to talk Yourshaw into calling 911. “He packed a suitcase, locked up the house, went out into the driveway and was sitting there with his suitcase when the ambulance got there. And he’d had a stroke. That was the kind of guy he was. He wanted to do everything himself. He didn’t want anybody’s help.

“He was convinced that he would be healthy because he was always very physically active and ate a decent diet and worked hard. He thought he was immune to getting anything because of his lifestyle. He didn’t have much regard for people who just sat around all the time,” says Mancini. Toward the end of his life, “when he physically became like that, it was very difficult for him. Some people wouldn’t mind that, but he minded it a lot.

“And he was also in pain — all those years of physical labor take a toll. He had arthritis throughout his

body,” as well as complications from diabetes and problems with his kidneys and heart. But he still insisted on cleaning the oil burner until he was 91.

“He was 92 when he decided he wasn’t going to do this anymore,” says Mancini. Yourshaw went to his doctor in October 2011 and told her he was done with taking his diabetes and blood-pressure medications.

His family was sad, but respected his decision. “I feel very strongly that a person should have the right to make the decisions that affect the intimate details of their lives,” Mancini says. “I probably feel that way because he felt that way, and my mother feels that way, and that’s what I was raised with.”

Though religion is a big factor in many people’s end-of-life decisions, it wasn’t in Yourshaw’s. For decades, he had been a staunch atheist. “He’d go on and on about it,” Mancini laughs. “He talked about his lack of belief a lot. … He was raised Catholic and had a very difficult upbringing — he was one of 12 children in a very poor family, and I think that was a big influence on how he felt about religion.”

When Yourshaw stopped taking his medicines, Mancini started driving the two hours to Pottsville more often to help out. “I would go up once a week, because I was working, I have two children.” After a flu in December prevented Mancini from driving up a couple weeks in a row, she brought up the idea of hospice care.

“I normally am a person who does a lot of research,” says Mancini, illustrated by the 4-inch-thick, neatly annotated binder of papers and records relating to her case on the table in front of her. “I’ve advocated for family members when they’ve had health issues, and I try to find out as much as I can about things beforehand. I didn’t do it with this.” Mancini often sounds furious or outraged about the past few years.

Here, she sounds like she’s in real pain.

When she couldn’t find resources to judge the comparative quality of hospices — at the moment there’s no standard, and hospices use different methods of assessment that aren’t easily comparable — Mancini just went with the recommendation of her father’s primary-care physician. She suggested the nonprofit Hospice of Central Pennsylvania, one of the biggest in the state.

“I thought I was doing the right thing. And I just assumed that when we engaged a hospice, they were gonna do the right thing. That was a really bad judgment flaw on my part.

“I believe that this would not have happened at all if this hospice had done what they were supposed to.”

• •• O N T H E H O S P I CE of Central Pennsylvania’s consent-for-services form, the enrolling patient is asked to acknowledge that he understands the following standard things about what “hospice care” does and does not mean: Hospice care focuses on comfort, relief from pain and other symptoms, and emotional and spiritual support rather than curative or life-extending treatment or interventions. I understand that certain medical procedures, such as [CPR], are not performed by … staff or volunteers.

Hospice services are not intended to take the place of care by my family … but rather to support them in my care.

Hospice services are provided primarily in the patient’s place of residence … through intermittent scheduled visits. Consultation and visits for urgent matters and pain and symptom control are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I have a choice about the care provided to me. I may discuss and participate in developing the plan of care … [and] may refuse a particular treatment or service.

It took Mancini some work to sell her father on hospice care. It sounded to him like people would be coming into his house and telling him what to do.

“He didn’t want them there,” says Mancini. “He only agreed to let them come in there because it would help out my mom.”

Hospice isn’t something you can just decide you’re ready for. Two independent doctors must rule that you have fewer than six months to live before you’re eligible for admission. Two doctors judged Yourshaw as such, and he enrolled in Harrisburg-based HCP for the first time in March 2012.

From the very beginning, Yourshaw’s hospice charts, which Mancini shared with City Paper, make him sound like he wasn’t the easiest patient.

“You know the phrase ‘full of piss and vinegar?’” asks Mancini. A note made by his primary-care physician when he announced he would stop taking all medications sums it up pretty well: “Oriented and rational although disagreeing with pretty much continued on page 12

The complacency Mancini reads into “comfortable despite pain” appearing in her father’s hospice charts still infuriates her as both a daughter and a nurse. everything I discussed with him.”

Entries on Yourshaw’s hospice charts sometimes make him sound like a cranky-old-man cartoon, though they consistently note that he’s alert with “judgment/insight intact”: Pt. presented with his “usual grumpiness” and direct responses about “I have pain all over” and “nothing matters to me” responses Pt … is exasperated and sighs heavily when queried At end of visit pt refused to rate his pain, when asked pt puts his hands in the air and states “I don’t know” when asked if medicine worked pt again puts hands in air and says “I don’t know”

the pain, find a medication that would work better” rather than “telling my mother, ‘Just keep offering it.’ It clearly doesn’t work!

“I don’t know if they just weren’t prepared to deal with someone like him — although, anybody in health care has to learn to deal with different personalities,” says Mancini. “Sometimes he was ornery with them. … There were times where he said, ‘I’m not takin’ any medicine.’ He definitely didn’t want to take any medicine for his blood sugar. But he was taking stuff for pain.”

Whatever he told the hospice workers, Yourshaw was in pain. He refused prescription pain medications, but took lots of over-the-counter ones.

When Mancini got her father’s charts, they didn’t reflect that hospice workers had realized why Yourshaw so adamantly refused pain medicine. She says her dad had gotten unpleasant side effects from

the first narcotic pain medications he’d tried, but the dosage he’d been prescribed hadn’t been high enough for effective pain relief. Instead of asking for help, he just “stopped taking it. He wasn’t the type of guy to go back to the doctor to get more stuff. Started taking Tylenol and Motrin again.” After a few tries at finding a medication that would work for him, the hospice charts reflect, nurses eventually seem to accept his word that Yourshaw really doesn’t want any medicine and is “comfortable despite pain.”

The second time Yourshaw checked into hospice, he was so adamant about not wanting medicine that hospice nurse Barbara Cattermole, who enrolled him, didn’t leave the standard bag of emergency medications at the Yourshaw home. At Mancini’s preliminary hearing, Cattermole testified: “He refused to take all medications. There was no meds.

I didn’t even order an emergency kit because he refused to take any meds.”

An emergency kit, or e-kit, is a “just in case” supply of medications for a wide range of situations.

The e-kit Yourshaw was issued at his first enrollment at HCP included lorazepam for anxiety, Haldol for hallucinations, prochlorperazine for vertigo and nausea … and morphine for pain.

“He was provided all these medicines, no questions asked, in a bag,” says Mancini. He didn’t use them, so “when he was discharged, we handed it back.”

In Yourshaw’s last month of life, he was in a lot more pain, and Mancini says she finally was able to talk him into considering morphine as an alter-

It wasn’t just difficult to treat Yourshaw because of “piss and vinegar.” He almost constantly refused to assess, talk about or accept any medication for his pain — the primary purpose of hospice care. He particularly seemed to dislike being asked to rate his pain on a 1 to 10 scale. On the second day of hospice records, he’s already having problems with it: Patient describes constant body ache “all over.” Unable to rate pain using pain scale.

Wife states patient’s pain is “3.”

For most of the rest of his records, he just refuses to pick a number or answer in the way the hospice staff wants, saying instead that he does have pain but he’s fine, he’s comfortable. This leads to the regular appearance of the phrase “comfortable despite pain” in Yourshaw’s charts.

The complacency and lack of follow-up that Mancini reads into “comfortable despite pain” still infuriates her as both daughter and a professional.

“What they’re supposed to do is relieve the [immediate] pain by giving the person a high enough dose of short-acting agents to provide pain relief, then work on finding a longer-acting agent.

“So here’s my dad: He’s in pain every day, all day.

I wasn’t comfortable with how hospice was going at the time, but I didn’t realize the extent of it until after all this happened — after I got the records. native to Tylenol. Since Cattermole hadn’t left the e-kit, on Feb. 1, 2013, Mancini called HCP and requested a morphine prescription. This call would later be used in court as a sign of premeditation.

“I spoke with Deborah Hornberger, who’s the nurse supervisor,” Mancini says, “and she actually gave me a hard time on the phone — told me it wasn’t appropriate for him to have morphine.” Mancini says Hornberger told her, and it’s in hospice records, that because Yourshaw hadn’t been on opiates before, “it would be more appropriate for him to be on Percoset.

Which is an opiate! It didn’t make sense. But she argued with me.”

Given the hospice’s policy that “pain and symptom control are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Mancini was further unsettled when the morphine she’d requested that morning didn’t arrive until 8 p.m. the next evening, 36 hours after she’d called. And when it arrived, Mancini recalls thinking that, based on her 30 years of experience medicating pain in the ER, the dosage seemed really light. “Two-and-a-half milligrams of oral morphine, for someone in severe pain? It’s a joke.” But, she says, she figured hospice wasn’t her specialization, and didn’t bring it up.

“I wasn’t comfortable with how it was going at the time, but I didn’t realize the extent of how poorly they were doing it until after all this happened — after I got the records.”

which Senior Deputy Attorney General Anthony Forray’s argument for potentially sending her to prison for 10 years included, “This was a lot more than simply handing a bottle of medicine to someone. … There was no morphine in the home. Who was responsible for requesting the morphine to be in the home? The defendant.”

Hornberger was called as a witness to back this up, and testified: “Barbara called me specifically asking me to order morphine for her father. I did tell her that we should try other medication before going to morphine. She said that she was an RN and knew and still insisted on having morphine ordered.”

Forray confirms that his witness had had a chance to review Yourshaw’s hospice records, noting that “The records I have in my possession I believe were obtained from [arresting officer] Captain [Steve] Durkin who, in turn, had obtained them from the coroner.” In other words, pretty much everyone but the defense had seen the records at this point.

Which is why it’s surprising that not one person noticed that Joseph Yourshaw had been prescribed a significantly stronger dosage of morphine by the attending physician at his hospice enrollment, weeks before Mancini called. Admittedly, the records are dense and difficult to read. But it’s right there in the first pages of Yourshaw’s file: “‘Morphine for pain and for shortness of breath, 5-10 mg every 2-4 hours as needed. May titrate 1-2 times the base dose.” The prescription had just never arrived — it was part of the e-kit that Cattermole hadn’t left at the Yourshaw house. “We were never notified that these medicines were ordered, we had no clue!” says Mancini.

The morphine that would have come in the e-kit was stronger than the dosage Mancini had thought seemed a little weak: “He could have had as much as 20 milligrams every two hours. What he ended up getting, ultimately, was 2.5 milligrams every four hours. A fraction” of what the physician initially judged to be appropriate.

Mancini and her lawyer were baffled that nobody had noticed the original prescription — not just in court, but back when she’d first called. “They have electronic health records — it would have been right there for [Hornberger] to see it” when they spoke on

the phone, says Mancini.

Other things in the charts further confirmed the uneasiness Mancini had felt. She was surprised to find out that it had taken Hornberger more than six hours to get in touch with Yourshaw’s attending physician — and that that physician doesn’t appear to actually have been in the same room as Yourshaw until after his overdose. Mancini believes very strongly that “no physician ever spoke to him, touched him, examined him” based on the lack of physician contributions to Yourshaw’s charts aside from the occasional signature. You can’t prove a negative that way, but HCP declined to answer any questions.

The Medicare code has a long list of conditions of participation for hospices — standards providers must adhere to to be able to bill Medicare for services. The language, seeing as this is the government, isn’t the clearest. One is patient’s rights, and the first thing on the list is “receive effective pain management and symptom control from the hospice for conditions related to the terminal illness.”

Mancini says HCP was too willing to accept her father’s stoic front at face value, when the repetition of conflicting information — reporting that he simultaneously had pain and was comfortable — should have prompted a closer examination by a physician. “I firmly believe that there was never more than a token effort by the hospice to find an agent and a dosage that would effectively manage my father’s pain,” she says.

Yourshaw had fallen that morning, and now as they were trying to put him to bed “was in so much pain they couldn’t even get his clothes off.” He was wearing one of his old button-down shirts from when he was 50 pounds heavier, but even unbuttoning it and trying to ease the loose-fitting shirt off his shoulder was too painful for him. “My mother and my brother felt like they were breaking his arms.” (Postmortem records would later show that Yourshaw’s arthritis was particularly bad in his shoulders.)

“I drove up that morning from Philly and he was sleeping when I got there,” says Mancini. Her mom stepped out to get lunch and do some shopping, leaving them alone in the house. “After a while, he woke up and asked for a little orange juice. He told me he was in a lot of pain, he asked me to bring his medicine to him, which I did. I had the dosing syringe in my hand, I handed him the medicine, because he always opened the medicine for my mom, it had one of those child-proof caps on it that she could never get open. So I let him open it like he did for her. And he drank it. That’s what happened.”

“He stopped talking and I just sat there and held his hand.” things … how he loved my mother and how he loved us. He talked about the war. Talked about some friends of his,” says Mancini. “Then he got sleepy, so he stopped talking and I just sat there and held his hand.”

Nobody disputes that Joseph Yourshaw wanted to die. He might have been able to do so in peace that day instead of in anguish at the hospital four days later if a hospice nurse hadn’t called about an hour later asking if she could drop in for an unscheduled visit.

Few people would want the ensuing ordeal for Yourshaw, Mancini and their family to happen to them or their loved ones. But America is squeamish about death. It’s been half a century since medical technology reached a point where death can be drawn out well beyond the point where many people would just want to die. But we’ve made little national progress since then in recognizing, understanding and, most important, legislating about end-of-life issues. Because the dead don’t lobby, and politicians have learned from the “death panel” debacle not to touch a hot stove if they don’t absolutely have to.

The prosecution was so aggressive in this case, in part, because Mancini refused to consider a plea bargain that would have required her to admit she’d done something wrong. “I didn’t feel like I was guilty of anything! So to hell with that!” says Mancini.

Before the charges were dismissed, her defense was gearing up to challenge not only the charges against her, but also the law itself. “If they were going to pursue this with the vehemence that they did, I was going to fight back tooth and nail,” she says. “I wasn’t going to just lie down and let things happen to me.”

By A.D. Amorosi

MIGHTY OAKS ➤ TIMOTHY SHOWALTER, the Philadelphia

singer and songwriter at the center of Strand of Oaks, has endured some emotional upheavals in his 32 years. If you’re a fan of his mostly acoustic work, 2010 album Pope Kildragon in particular — with its heaving, darkly clouded sound and its odes to ruined romance, unrest and revenge — you know this guy hasn’t had it easy.

There are still woeful tales to be told on the new Heal. There’s an ache in his voice as he touches on the ravages of adulthood (booze, destructive relationships) and teen years squandered being “fat, drunk and mean.” It’s that same level of bleary-eyed rumination we’ve appreciated on his previous recordings.

It’s just that on Heal, his deeply personal stories are accompanied by a blunter, grander sound.

Showalter brings the rain and the rangy psychedelia on Neil Young-ish songs “JM” and “Goshen ’97,” the latter guest-starring crusty guitarist J Mascis. That he’s gone from acoustic folk to Crazy Horse-like grunge isn’t shocking. It is, however, a surprise hearing him execute ’80s electro-pop (“Same Emotions”) with the sort of anthemic bridges and soaring choruses (“Woke Up to the Light”) usually reserved for glossy, ’90s action-adventures.

Showalter even seems giddy reminiscing about skinny-dipping and “singing Pumpkins in the mirror.”

This isn’t his John Hughes moment. Heal is more like when Springsteen went from sensitive Jersey boy to brow-furrowing man, or when U2 left the streets of Belfast and headed into the desert. Heal’s scope stretches beyond the folk skeleton to make room to contain Showalter’s tortured post-breakup, post alcohol-soaked soul.

From the title track’s primal scream of “you got to heal” to his doe-eyed reverence for Jason Molina on the aforementioned “JM,” Showalter lets the light in with one sweep of the curtain. “I won’t let these dark times win/ We got your sweet tunes to play.” Amen, brother. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

PAPER CUTS: Philly Feminist Zine Fest organizer Sarah SawyersLovett assembles one of her booklets.

[ feminism/zines ]

VOICES CARRY The Philly Feminist Zine Fest showcases selfpublishers with a message of empowerment.

By Paulina Reso ocal writer Sarah Sawyers-Lovett likes to carry a heavy-duty bookbinding stapler around, just in case she finds a spare moment to assemble one of her zines. For more than half her life, she’s been creating these small-circulation booklets, which range from feminist fairy tales to self-care advice to chronicles of her experience as a queer teenager in a conservative town.

At a café in Fairmount last week, she was stapling together a few photocopied pages of her latest work in anticipation of the Philly Feminist Zine Fest, which she is helping to organize. Now in its second year, the festival — not to be confused with the larger, broader Philly Zine Fest — is being held this weekend in locations around the city.

“Philly Zine Fest is like a first-come, first-serve thing. Philly Feminist Zine Fest is juried, so we choose people we want to see represented,” says Sawyers-Lovett. “We wanted to make sure that there was a cross section of people of color, of transgender, people with disabilities, people who are writing about all sorts of topics related to feminism specifically.”

Among the zinemakers showcasing their work on Saturday is

L

Kerri Radley, who lost her hearing when she was 5. She writes Deafula, which has detailed her difficulty with finding a job, and her frustration with insurance companies, which refuse to cover expensive hearing aids. On her website, Radley describes the zine as “an informative resource for hearing allies, while still being relatable for anyone who has ever felt like an outcast.”

Sherley C. Olopherne, a Haitian New Yorker, will also be there to exhibit her series of zines on the black lesbian community from the ’80s to 2010. To create this historical work, she sifted through the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn, which houses the world’s largest collection of materials about lesbians.

During the tabling, there will be hourly raffles to benefit Project SAFE, a local, harm-reduction organization focused on providing medical and social services to sex workers. “I think it’s important for something like this that is a feminist zine fest to also be about benefiting organizations in the community,” says Jennifer King, a volunteer at Project SAFE who’s helped organize both iterations of the zine fest. “It’s hard for us to get support from grants or donors because what we do is fairly controversial, unfortunately, so being able to find enthusiasm for what we do is really exciting and doesn’t happen all the time.”

“Anyone can make one and distribute it.” festival since it started in 2012. With the help of three other organizers, they’ve been able to sustain it.

“Zinemaking is the kind of thing people do for fun, and because it’s important and empowering to be able to publish things without a printing press,” says King. “But it’s not the kind of thing you’re ever going to make any money off of, so creating a space where we can actually create a community around it is important.”

Growing up in Virginia in the ’90s, Sawyers-Lovett first encountered this community in her teens when she wrote to a queer pen pal service and received pamphlets from her correspondent. She sent money to other zinesters through the mail, and received publications from around the country. When she was about 14 years old, she began assembling her own zine.

“I started making them because I didn’t think there were really that many other queer people in my small town,” says Sawyers-Lovett. “It was really an affirmation that I wasn’t the only one, and so as I was writing to these other queer people I learned a lot about riot grrrl and punk rock and big ideas about race and gender and feminine sexuality, and so that was very educational to me.

“It’s a lot of fun and I also think it’s the most democratic method of media.

Anyone can make one. Maybe not everyone could build a website or an app or write an article for a magazine, but everyone can put something on a page and make copies of it and distribute it.”

Although the golden age of zines may have passed and blogs threaten to thin the audience, Sawyers-Lovett believes the zine community will continue to thrive.

“The people who are enthusiastic about zines are always going to be enthusiastic about zines,” she says. “There’s always going to be somebody who is desperately clinging on to the idea of getting mail in a mailbox with stamps and letters, so I think there’s something really beautiful and ephemeral that you can’t get through tubes and screens. The satisfaction of putting something together with your hands and sending it to somebody is a personal touch that will always have value.” (paulina@citypaper.net) ✚ Philly Feminist Zine Fest, Sat.-Sun., June 28-29,

IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH BY HYPE? Will you still clap your hands and/or say yeah? By Sameer Rao astes change.

The media changes.

The culture changes.

But one question remains fixed at the pedagogical center of music criticism: Is hype a good thing?

Few indie musicians understand hype’s immense push-andpull better than Mt. Airy native Alec Ounsworth of the band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (typically, and understandably, abbreviated as CYHSY).

Ever since CYHSY’s self-titled debut galvanized MP3 bloggers and earned a coveted 9.0/10.0 review from Pitchfork nearly a decade ago, the band has ridden a convoluted fame cycle involving backlash against 2007’s Some Loud Thunder, damning comparisons to acts who have creatively lapped them and a never-ending slew of retrospective pieces detailing what such a trajectory means. The 36-year-old Ounsworth and a new set of bandmates are now touring behind Only Run, self-released earlier this month, and seeing a familiar process swinging back around.

Grantland’s Steven Hyden, in an otherwise balanced piece citing CYHSY as the definitive “blog rock” act of the mid-2000s, recalled the band’s gig opening for a then-struggling The National back in the day: “As it turned out, the National became the National, while Clap Your Hands Say Yeah still sounds like a decent opening act from 2005.” Ouch.

Ounsworth, for his part, is over all this talk about his trajectory. “I’m a bit tired of that. I had nothing to do with the ‘blog rock’ nonsense when I started, and I have nothing to do with it now,” he explains over a crackling phone line from a gas station somewhere in the Midwest. His speaking voice, low and lackadaisical, shatters the image of a whiny and fragile man-child that his nasal tenor singing voice conjures in many listeners. (His penchant for wearing fedoras during the debut album’s tour cycle probably didn’t help.) “As someone who didn’t pay a lot of attention to blogs in the past, to withstand that association yet again and have it creep into evaluations of material. … It’s fascinating, and a little pathetic.”

Refutation of hype is nothing new, but one gets a sense that breaking from his perceived legacy is crucial for Ounsworth’s creative survival. Only Run is a marked departure from the band’s previous work, more atmospheric and ominous thanks to heavy synths and subdued, synthetic rhythms. Some of the old hallmarks are still there — chirpy keys and bright guitars abound on the dancey “Little Moments” and the propulsive “Beyond Illusion” — but they’re removed from the center and stretched out over wandering and fuzz-driven mini-epics that compel foot-tapping and glaze-eyed submission in equal measure.

Ounsworth’s vocals have also matured, now wielded in the service of haunting coos and moans that echo Thom Yorke (although he sees more influence from Television’s Tom Verlaine). In the title track, he cries out, “I will not raise a hand to stop you/ I don’t need to be strong/ I don’t care anymore,” though Ounsworth is cagey about the exact inspiration for these songs.

CYHSY’s auditory transitions were preceded by structural changes — the album, made over roughly two years, doesn’t feature multi-instrumentalists Robbie Guertin and Lee Sargent or

bassist Tyler Sargent. It was created entirely by Ounsworth and drummer/programmer Sean Greenhalgh (who also departed the band a few months ago). “With all due respect to those guys, from the beginning, the band wasn’t entirely collaborative. All the records say, ‘All music and lyrics by Alec Ounsworth,’ and I imagined this as being a rotating cast,” he explains. His current touring band features bassist Matt Wong, guitarist/keyboardist Nick Krill and ex-War on Drugs drummer Patrick Berkery.

He also enlisted support from friends like The National frontman Matt Berninger and Canadian producer Kid Koala.

Berninger’s contribution to standout track “Coming Down” — which Ounsworth says was inspired by the vocal contrast on the Velvet Underground’s “Lady Godiva’s Operation” — has been snarkily described as a sort of handout now that The National are selling out arenas. Ounsworth dismisses that. “Matt’s a friend, and I don’t think of him or The National as any different than I did back [when we toured with them].”

The new band and increased sense of creative control has allowed Ounsworth to make what he says is CYHSY’s best record yet.

Despite fronting a band whose uncontrollable public image has amounted to a somewhat contrived first impression, Ounsworth sees Only Run as revealing itself after repeat listens. Such an album may ultimately help CYHSY cast off its ghosts and join the indie big leagues that it seemed destined for all those years ago.

Either way, Ounsworth isn’t really paying attention to what gets said about him or his friends. With Only Run, his resurrection may already be complete. (sameer.rao@citypaper.net) ✚ Clap Your Hands Say Yeah plays Fri., June 27, 9:30 p.m., $16, with Stagnant

FILMS ARE GRADED BY CITY PAPER CRITICS A-F.

The Discoverers

✚ NEW THE DISCOVERERS | B Not so shockingly, The Discoverers is a film about discovery.

That’s partly meant in surface terms, by how Lewis and Clark’s historic expedition permeates the life of Lewis Birch (Griffin Dunne), a lame history professor and even lamer dad. Although Lewis has written a big ol’ book about the journey, his father Stanley (Stuart Margolin) is the true obsessive. When Lewis’ mother dies, he finds himself and his two eye-rolling teenagers tangled up with a gang of Lewis and Clark re-enactors as they try bringing the mourning Stanley, now fully method-acting as Clark, back to earth. The film, despite all of its late-aughts indie mumblecore trappings, is tender and sweet in its depiction of Lewis as a scraggly divorced dad trying to maintain connections with his family and maybe learn — nay, discover (whoa) — just how to make his relationships reverberate.

And sometimes that means getting awkward with your 15-year-old daughter. In one of the film’s most intimate moments of character-building, Zoe (Madeleine Martin) gets her first period mid-expedition. All Lewis can do is scratch his head and deadpan, “Uh, congratulations. That’s what people say, right?” —Marc Snitzer (Ritz Five)

KORENGAL | B Built with remarkable footage left over from the creation of 2010’s Restrepo, Korengal should be viewed more as a companion to that Oscar-nominated doc than as a sequel, even if it deals more with what’s underneath the infantry helmets than the bullets whizzing past them. Sebastian

Junger, taking over sole directorial duties from late partner Tim Hetherington (who was killed covering Libya in 2011), takes the focus away from the firefights and places it on the men fighting them. Posted in Afghanistan’s “Valley of Death,” the American troops battling Taliban forces experience extreme highs and numbing lows, fueled by adrenaline one second, atrophied by boredom the next (“100 miles an hour to a dead halt”). The binding power of brotherhood is what each soldier, granted dimension through raw and oft-uncomfortable interviews, emphasizes above everything else, and there’s true purity in their dedication to each other. But Junger never sidesteps the more sinister psychological realities of combat — the fixation on violence, the permanence of guilt — that have deeply skewed the perspectives of his subjects. The work comes off incomplete as a standalone feature, but paired with Restrepo, it’s clearly some of the finest unvarnished wartime journalism of our lifetime. —Drew Lazor (Ritz at the Bourse)

✚ CONTINUING A COFFEE IN BERLIN | B A combination of bad luck, bad choices and bad karma add up to one long, bad day for twentysomething slacker Niko Fischer (Tom Schilling) in director Jan Ole Gerster’s debut, A Coffee in Berlin. Gerster wears his influences on his sleeve, crafting a study of a hapless and not always likable character accompanied by the breezy jazz and wry narcissism of Woody Allen and surrounded by deadpan eccentrics, seemingly imported from an early Jim Jarmusch

indie. Too many of the situations in which Niko finds himself over the course of the film’s 24 hours are familiar — from the disapproving country-club father playing golf with a more successful surrogate son to an atrocious modern dance performance.

Gerster finds more interesting territory in Berlin’s uneasy relationship with its own past. Niko stops in at a bar where a drunk launches into his childhood recollection of Kristallnacht, wondering how he could ride his bike with all of that broken glass on the ground. Generations removed from the war, its echoes still haunt the city, while Niko is confronted by his own past in the form of a young woman whom he bullied to nearsuicide when they were childhood classmates. Gerster never manages to tie all these threads together, but their intimations are more intriguing

than his attempts to cover familiar situations with black-and-white stylization. —Shaun Brady (Ritz at the Bourse)

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS | B The Fault in Our Stars is not just likely to make you cry — those tears are backed by science. Yet what separates the YA cancer romance from other weepfests is not the depth of the melancholic lows, but the personal, palpable highs ballasting the other side of the scale. Smart, cynical Hazel (Shailene Woodley), strapped to an oxygen tank 24/7 ever since thyroid cancer spread to her lungs, is encouraged to attend a support group by her upbeat parents. Here she meets Augustus (Ansel Elgort), a former athlete who lost his leg to osteosarcoma, and the pair embarks upon the borderline-obsessive brand of a teenage love

affair anyone who’s been a teenager is familiar with. When their characters are finally forced to spar with eventuality, Woodley and Elgort offer some of their strongest, saddest work.

If it feels like they’re trying exceptionally hard to bandsaw your most fragile emotions, they are. Don’t feel bad for feeling worse — this is what they trained for. —DL (The Roxy)

JERSEY BOYS | C Clint Eastwood’s attempt to turn a smash jukebox musical into a Coke Zero version of Goodfellas with sing-song interludes comes off just as stilted as you might expect, and not even jolting performances from the magnetic quartet in question can salvage the film. Tracing the Four Seasons’ rise to American pop royalty from their felonious beginnings outside Newark, Jersey Boys, on paper, is an Alger tale that carries a mean tune. Encouraged to take the stage by his street-hustler pal Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza), Frankie Valli (Tony winner John Lloyd Young) is the kid with the magic falsetto, which carried DeVito and his other bandmates (Michael Lomenda and Erich Bergen) to multiple number-one hits and decades of chart dominance. But that radio-friendly output was made possible by a slew of shady supporters, from avuncular mob boss Gyp DeCarlo (Christopher Walken) to the hardcore loan sharks who preyed on DeVito’s poor judgment. The split between the band’s scrubbed-clean image and the back-alley dealings that put them in front of the public is the most compelling aspect of the Seasons’ history, but Eastwood sees no virtue in balance, allowing his signature drab palette to creep so far into the storytelling that it becomes more about shadows than sound. —DL (Wide release)

IDA | AStark and stone-faced, director Pawel Pawlikowski’s Ida reveals itself slowly.

At first, it appears to be a near-silent Bressonian drama set in a Polish convent. But then Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska), a young, pretty novitiate, is called before the mother superior, who encourages her to visit her only living relative before taking her vows. Thus Anna meets Wanda (Agata Kulesza), a former state prosecutor who informs her niece that her name is not Anna but Ida, she’s Jewish, and her parents were killed during the Nazi occupation. The pair set off on a road trip to find their graves, giving Anna her first exposure to the outside world, includ22 | P H I L A D E L P H I A C I T Y PA P E R |

J U N E 2 6 - J U L Y 2 , 2 0 1 4 | C I T Y PA P E R . N E T

ing “carnal thoughts,” anti-Semitism and John Coltrane. The Paris-based Pawlikowski, returning to his native country for the first time in his career, keeps the focus on the two women and the subtle ways in which their journey changes them. At first they’re bemused by one other; Wanda stifles laughter at her niece’s innocence, while Ida reacts to her aunt’s cynicism and provocations with the self-satisfaction of the genuinely faithful. These small gestures are indicative of the film’s tone, which faces unfathomable horror with subtle grace, making its conclusions all the more harrowingly resonant. —SB (Ritz Five)

THE IMMIGRANT | B+ James Gray’s evocative period piece follows Marion Cotillard’s wayward Pole through the golden door and onto the mean streets of Manhattan where she quickly falls prey to Joaquin Phoenix’s mercurial wheeler-dealer. Gray doesn’t spare the portentous symbolism (see the prostitute garbed as Lady Liberty for proof), but he’s working in an old-fashioned idiom that supports it. The film’s classicism can be stifling — it has a touch of the self-willed masterpiece about it — but it falls away when Jeremy Renner comes on the scene as a stage magician whose dedication to sleight of hand makes him paradoxically honest. The movie’s centerpiece, a pageant for quarantined deportees at Ellis Island, is a tragic encapsulation of the American Dream in all its chimerical promise, part aspiration, part lie — and one of the most thrilling sequences in recent memory.

—Sam Adams (Ritz at the Bourse) OBVIOUS CHILD | B As statements of purpose go, it’s hard to beat the one that opens Gillian Robespierre’s first feature, where comedian Jenny Slate regales an audience with a standup routine about vaginal secretions. But where a movie like 22 Jump Street marshals gross-out humor for its own sake, Robespierre’s simply marking out her territory: This is a movie about what goes on down there; those with fragile sensibility need not apply. Slate’s Donna is a go-nowhere protagonist whose already-tenuous existence is wobbling as she approaches 30. But the movie is uncharacteristically frank about Donna’s situation, especially when she accidentally gets pregnant during a one-night stand and quickly decides to have an abortion — too quickly, in fact: She has to wait two weeks until the fetus is far enough along to abort. It’s less an achievement of the film’s than

[ movie shorts ]

a sad commentary on the culture surrounding it that this is even remotely notable, and to her credit, Robespierre doesn’t treat Donna’s decision as a wrenching dilemma: She’s single, semi-employed and practically bankrupt; what else would (or should) she do? But if Donna’s choice is an easy one, it doesn’t make much sense to use it to frame the film as a whole, which therefore lacks much in the way of dramatic tension or anything beyond low-grade moping around. Robespierre wants to steer clear of off-theshelf self-actualization, but she doesn’t replace it with anything. Fortunately, Slate proves a winning companion; it’s a hang-out movie, and she’s fun to hang out with. —SA (Ritz Five)

‹‹ CANAL’S DISCOUNT LIQUORS In the first half of the 20th century, it was common for Italian immigrants to abbreviate their last names.

If not for this tradition, the iconic big yellow sign on Route 38 in Pennsauken would read “Canalicchio’s Discount Liquor Market” instead of “Canal’s Discount Liquor Market.” Canal is a sort of nickname.

When I began working at Canal’s some years ago, I was quick to receive an enduring nickname myself.

My propensity to fill the icebox multiple times a day (along with my perceived “icy cold demeanor,” to quote high-energy wine associate Marc Rosato) earned me the nickname “Iceman.” Over the years, though, I’ve become a much more multi-dimensional Iceman. It’s easy to pick up all sorts of alcoholrelated knowledge when working at one of the Tri-state area’s premier liquor stores.

Regardless of your lifestyle or socioeconomic status, there is something that fits your budget and taste at Canal’s Discount Liquors in Pennsauken, N.J. While Canal’s business model continues to evolve over the decades, it’s obvious as soon as you walk through the front door that its commitment to huge selections, tremendous value and outstanding customer service has remained constant. When John T. Canal opened his bar and restaurant in the early ’60s, he was probably unable to foresee the tremendous variety of beers, liquors and wines from all over the world that would line the shelves of his store over 50 years later.The Canal’s brand has proven so enduring that Canal’s franchises continue to dot the New Jersey landscape.

Even the trendiest of microbrews are more than affordable. All beers are available by the bottle, and the expert beer staff led by beer purchasers John Stewart and Phil Wade is always willing to make sure that you leave the store with something (or somethings) that you and your wallet will both love. Victory, Yards and Flying Fish join Allagash, Ommegang, Dogfish Head and many others in the craft beer section. Whether you need beer for a tailgate, a holiday celebration, or a gift for your beer snob friend, we have something for you.

The variety and worldliness isn’t unique to the beer selection, either. An unparalleled assortment of wines from all four corners of the Earth is on display. A wide variety of Bordeaux, Chateauneuf du Pape, Barolo and Amarone highlight the seemingly endless conglomeration of wines contained within the store’s walls. The knowledgeable wine staff is always willing to walk anyone through the selection, no matter what budget or volume they have in mind. The staff, in fact, has worked with caterers and has

G U I D Ent ➜ advertorial suppleme

planned large parties and events since 1963, so we’re always prepared to help you with your party planning process. We’re also ready to recommend bottles at any price point. $5 bottles, $500 bottles, and everything in between are available in store on any given day.

General manager Gary Brady prides himself on his staff ’s knowledge and helpfulness, and every customer reaps the benefits of the staff ’s quality.

In addition to beer and wine, an extensive liquor selection, highlighted by perpetually expanding whiskey collection, remains consistently affordable from bottle to bottle. Single-village tequilas and mescals, premium vodkas and extra smooth cognacs join English gins, Caribbean rums, too many cordials to count and many other varietals to make up this wholesale section. John T’s grandson Johnny oversees all wine and liquor purchases and continues to expand upon the pioneering discount philosophy invented by his father, Jack, and his grandfather. It’s quite common, in fact, for wines and liquors to be sold at our cost or just pennies above. We don’t take the “discount liquors” description lightly.

The thing that most distinguishes Canal’s from its competition is its big-store abilities and capacities available in its local-store environment. It’s the perfect size. We’re large enough that we deal with distributors on a daily basis, yet small enough to avoid the negatives associated with our huge corporate competitors.

This makes placing special orders a breeze. If Canal’s doesn’t regularly carry something that you were looking for, the staff is always willing to check its availability. Many times, we can get unusual products the day after a customer requests them, and seldom do orders like this take more than a few days to arrive.

Canal’s clientele is an extremely eclectic group that is composed of people from every demographic imaginable. Considering our location between Camden and Moorestown, and our close proximity to Philadelphia, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

People from all over the area take advantage of our top-notch selection and bottom-dollar prices. Clearly, many have already figured out that it’s worth driving a little to save a lot. When your destination is one of the area’s most well-respected and enduring family owned businesses, why make any other choice? Take it from the Iceman: Canal’s is very cool.

‹‹ KORESH DANCE COMPANY Koresh Dance Company and PNC Arts Alive present 24 companies over five nights in the Come Together Festival, celebrating dance in Philadelphia on July 23-27. This July, Koresh Dance Company will present two dozen local and regional dance companies in its Come Together festival at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre.

The festival, which began in 2013, celebrates the diversity, creativity and technical excellence of Philadelphia’s dance community. For five summer nights, mixed programs including tap, modern and contemporary ballet will unite Philly favorites on one stage — from the hip-hop of Rennie Harris Puremovement to the acrobatic physical theater of Brian Sanders’ JUNK. Koresh Dance Company aims to increase awareness of the city’s rich movement cultures by assembling numerous unique styles in a single festival. Last year, The Dance Journal called Come Together “a rousing success” that “reflected a healthy, diverse Philly dance scene.”This year, The PNC Foundation, the festival’s major funder, supports the Koresh mission with a prestigious PNC Arts Alive grant. The grant, which supports bold efforts to foster arts access and engagement, also provides funding for major arts organizations including FringeArts, the Kimmel Center and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. PNC Arts Alive is a multi-year grant initiative of the PNC Foundation that challenges visual and performing arts organizations to put forth their best, most original thinking in expanding audience participation and engagement. “Through PNC Arts Alive, we continue to focus on making the arts more accessible and asked our region’s arts groups to help people experience art in new ways,” says Bill Mills, PNC regional president for Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. “The performing arts community has once again delivered on that goal, engaging audiences through a diverse array of programs that showcase our region at its best.”

Koresh Dance Company, a city staple since its 1991 debut, constantly seeks new life for Philadelphia dance. Artistic Director Ronen (Roni) Koresh values collaboration with regional companies and choreographers, and launched 24 | P H I L A D E L P H I A C I T Y PA P E R |

the Come Together festival last year to provide a platform for networking and mutual support in the dance community. This year’s roster includes returning favorites BalletFlemming, Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers and the Rock School for Dance Education, as well as 21 other companies representing a wealth of dance forms, traditions and voices as diverse as the city itself.

Hip-hop artist, photographer and filmmaker Raphael Xavier, who returns this year to perform in his second Come Together, calls the festival “a great opportunity” for dancers to motivate each other and learn from one another’s craft. “I was inspired by other artists’ work,” Xavier says. “It made me realize I have to keep pushing towards a high standard of performance art and dance.”

Since emigrating from Israel, Roni and his brother Alon Koresh, the company’s executive director, have been active in the Philadelphia dance scene for nearly 25 years. They both recall the generosity and artistic solidarity that furnished their early opportunities in the city — the foundational steps that led to the founding of the Koresh Dance Company and School of Dance. The Koresh brothers feel that it is their turn to contribute performance opportunities to the city’s young and innovative choreographers, and to bring its luminaries together for five nights of stellar dance.

Participating companies include Alchemy Dance Company, AJ Garcia-Rameau, BalletFleming, Blythe Smith, Brian Sanders’ JUNK, Chisena Danza, Dancefusion, DanceSpora, Danse4Nia Repertory Ensemble, Derling Dance Arts, Destany Churchwell, Introspective Movement Project, Just Sole: Street Dance Theater, Koresh Dance Company, the Koresh Youth Ensemble, Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, Nora Gibson Performance Project, Opus 1 Contemporary Dance Company, Project Moshen, Raphael Xavier, Rennie Harris Puremovement, The Lady Hoofers Tap Ensemble, The Rock School and Tyger B. Special events include an Opening Night Reception and Champagne Toast, Wed., July 23, 7:30 p.m.; a Talk-Back with the Artistic Directors,Thu., July 24, 7:30 p.m.; two Post-show “Talk over Drinks” events, where audience members can mingle with the dancers, Fri.

‹‹ MANN CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS The Mann continues to develop a national reputation for presenting the hottest artists. “More and more, the Mann is seen as the Philadelphia region’s go-to outdoor play for artists across music genres who are on major national and international tours,” says Jon Hampton, senior talent buyer for AEG, the Mann’s producing partner. This summer schedule includes 5 sold out concerts featuring two nights of Phish, charttopping singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, folk rock singer-songwriter Jack Johnson and alternative rockers Brand New. AEG and the Mann expect to present 29 concerts this summer, the most shows to date since joining forces in 2010. “And everyone is represented – there are top-tier rock, r&b, pop, country and reggae artists,” Hampton adds. In addition, the Mann is presenting eight concerts with The Philadelphia Orchestra, including three fulllength movie nights for which the Orchestra will play the film scores live, and none other than the legendary Diana Ross will headline the Mann’s annual Party in the Park gala.

Hampton and Mann President and CEO Catherine M. Cahill credit this growing music reputation to the quality of the audiences’ experience at the Mann. “The personality of the Mann is very unique,” says Cahill. “We’re an intimate venue surrounded by natural beauty, and that creates a very positive show experience for both audiences and artists. Plus there’s nothing like our Skyline Stage, which is now in its second full season, anywhere else in the area. Fans of the Skyline Stage love the fact that it is the genuine summer music spot with general admission, onthe-grass seating, in the middle of the park, with the best city skyline views anywhere,” she says.

THE COURTNEYS $10-$12 | Thu., June 26, 8:30 p.m., with The Ambulars and Mike Bell & the Movies, Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 267-639-4528, bootandsaddlephilly.com.

Wrapping up their big summer tour (a chunk of which was shared with Tegan and Sara), Vancouver indie garage-pop

all-girl trio The Courtneys will hit the Boot & Saddle stage for a happy salute to ’90s punk.

Their most recent album, last year’s S/T, features upbeat jams akin to a carefree summer day. By the way, if you were wondering, you can take a quiz online to find out which Courtney you are most like (I got drummer/lead singer Jen, aka Cute Courtney). Opening the show will be recent Philly emigrants The Ambulars.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF $25-$56 | Through June 29, Pa. Shakespeare Festival at Labuda Center for the Performing Arts, 2755 Station Ave., Center Valley, Pa., 610-282-9455, pashakespeare.org.

The Pennsylvania Shake-

speare Festival begins its 23rd professional season with a classic musical. This might seem to be at odds with their Shakespeare name, but variety — and wide appeal — is good for the soul and the bottom line. Joe Vincent, who played Big Daddy in PSF’s 2012 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, returns to play the philosophical dairyman who dreams of being rich and struggles with tradition. The Joseph Stein-Jerry Bock-Sheldon Harnick 1964 hit — the first Broadway musical to surpass 3,000 performances — won nine Tony Awards, was revived on Broadway four times and birthed a 1971 film adaptation.

PSF still does plenty of Shakespeare, with The Two Gentlemen of Verona (through July 13, see below), Macbeth (July 17-Aug. 3, in rep with Lend Me a Tenor), Women of Will (July 20-Aug. 3) and Shakespeare for

Kids (July 23-Aug. 2) on deck.

THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA $25-$50 | Through July 13, Pa. Shakespeare Festival at Labuda Center for the Performing Arts, 2755 Station Ave., Center Valley, Pa., 610-282-9455, pashakespeare.org.

Director Matt Pfeiffer’s lovely production of Shakespeare’s early romance could almost be a Philadelphia production, though it’s two Northeast Extension exits away at the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival.

For theatergoers who can’t get enough of Philly’s great actors (like me), it’s a treat to see Luigi Sottile as Valentine, one of the two titular gents, as well as Scott Greer, Alex Bechtel, Peter DeLaurier, Brian McCann and Philly native Nicole Erb (now based in Los Angeles, our loss) again this season. Sottile

and Zack Robidas, as Proteus, play friends who become rivals in love. Erb plays Proteus’s beloved Julia, whom he jilts to woo Valentine’s Silvia (Marnie Schulenburg). Each gent employs a clownish servant: Peter Denelski is Valentine’s good-natured fool and foil, and Greer shines as Proteus’s dour Launce, absolutely brilliant doing the show’s toughest job — acting opposite an adorable pooch. Pfeiffer frames the play in wistful music, arranged by Bechtel and played and sung by the multitalented cast. The too rarely seen play, handsomely designed by Samina Vieth (set), Steve TenEyck (lights) and Marla Jurglanis (costumes), is an often funny, yet philosophical, rumination about love and friendship written by Shakespeare in his 20s — a young man who, like his title characters, was clearly growing up. —Mark Cofta

PARAMORE/ FALL OUT BOY $37.25-$81.45 | Fri., June 27, 7 p.m., with New Politics, Susquehanna Bank Center, 1 Harbour Blvd., Camden, N.J., 856-365-1300, livenation.com.

These bands both released debuts a decade ago (via pop-punk proving ground Fueled by Ramen), summarily epitomized mid-’00s emo and, following a several-year hiatus, controversial lineup reshuffle and/or near-implosion, re-emerged last year with arguably their most vital work yet. Which makes this hideously named “Monumentour” both a nostalgia package for a certain demographic and also about as cutting-edge as arena

rock gets 2014. If Fall Out Boy’s deliriously excessive Save Rock and Roll fell forgivably short of its cheeky billing, it sure had fun doing so — reveling in Queenly glam-prog excess with Courtney Love and Elton John along for the ride. Paramore’s (pictured) utterly incandescent

self-titled opus, meanwhile, remains nothing short of a masterpiece: a 17-song set with a dozen potential hit singles, packing in everything from ukulele interludes to gospel choirs — on delayed-reaction song-of-the-summer contender “Ain’t It Fun” — to an extended doom-metal finale, all without feeling the least bit overblown.

El Cafeito, with its decadent breakfast Cuban sandwiches and café con leche, is one of Philadelphia’s best-kept culinary secrets. This Saturday, the Kensington café makes room for author Rosaura Torres. Torres is best known for writing 2010’s incendiary Abuse Hidden Behind the Badge, an indictment of rampant domestic abuse in law enforcement communities (of which she was a survivor, at the hands of a Pennsylvania state trooper). Her work continues to be relevant in a city with widespread allegations of police brutality. —Sameer Rao

FIVE KINGS PAY WHAT YOU WISH | July 2-30, Revolution Shakespeare at the

Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, 215-7638100, revolutionshakespeare.org.

Orson Welles’ 1938 mash-up of parts of Shakespeare’s history plays (Richard II, Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, and Henry V), as well as pieces of Holinshed’s Chronicles (the historical document on which Shakespeare based his plays) receives a rare production in five parts on five consecutive Wednesdays in July. Each hour-long episode follows Akeem Davis as Prince Hal, who becomes Henry V, and John Morrison as Falstaff, his surrogate father, and plays in a different Philadelphia Museum of Art gallery. Rebecca Austin’s costumes and director Tom Reing’s staging use each gallery’s artwork as inspiration, making it not just a backdrop, but an integral part of the play, according to Revolution Shakespeare’s artistic director Griffin Stanton-Ameisen. “One of the cool things about the original production,” he says, “is that it toured a few East Coast cities in hopes of travel-

ing to New York City. However, it closed in Philadelphia, at the now-defunct Chestnut Street Theatre.” Welles eventually turned Five Kings into the film Chimes at Midnight — and now, at last, it plays again in Philadelphia. —Mark Cofta

FUCKED UP FREE WITH RSVP | Wed., July 2, 9 p.m., Morgan’s Pier, 221 N. Columbus Blvd., 215-279-7134, morganspier.com.

Glass Boys (Matador) scales back considerably from this Canadian punk troupe’s previous sprawling, concept-heavy outings — notably, 2011’s 80-minute, 18-song rock opera David Comes to Life — but its 10 gut-punching tracks form no less of a furious, surging onslaught. They find the band recommitting to the vital spirit of ’80s hardcore — singer Pink Eyes’ guttural, full-throttle howls are as viciously visceral as ever — but pushing forward sonically with dense, hypersaturated production (Jonah

dramatic, full-length albums like the new Copper Gone, Sage Francis always makes certain that he gets the angst out before his name goes on.

You never get the impression he’s ever faked an emotion. In the spirit of hip-hop icons such

GOOD BONES ➤ WHEN THE FIRST Federal Donuts opened in

2011, partners Steve Cook and Mike Solomonov decided that 15 chickens per day would be more than enough for their Pennsport fried-chicken-anddoughnut shop.“Now, depending on the week, we’re up to 1,500 chickens a week,” Cook explains.

Since opening their largest-yet FedNuts at 7th and Fairmount, they’ve been able to start breaking down their own chickens. Of course, this isn’t any old chicken. They’re Amish-raised, Indiana-bred free-range birds that are antibiotic-free and given allvegetarian, non-G.M.O. feed. “We have this chicken that tastes amazing and we’re super excited to be in the chicken business and we feel great about,” Cook says. “But now we have 1,000 pounds of backs and bones every week that we have to deal with. The problem is literally on our doorstep.”

FedNuts had been trashing the leftover chicken up until now, but when Cook and pastor Bill Golderer of Broad Street Ministries got together and started thinking, those backs and bones became the business plan for Rooster Soup Co., which is currently seeking funding via Kickstarter.

“What if we took all of this leftover chicken and used it to make the best chicken soup in Philadelphia?”

Solomonov asks in the Rooster Soup Co.’s Kickstarter video, dressed in a bright yellow chicken suit.

The plan is to open a Center City fast-casual restaurant that serves, you guessed it, chicken soup made from FedNuts seconds. Lunchtime soup from the folks that brought us Federal Donuts and the modern Israeli cuisine of Zahav sounds pretty great right? Well, it gets better. Cook and Solomonov are teaming up with Broad Street Ministry and hoping to make Rooster Soup Co. a nonprofit restaurant with the proceeds benefiting the charity’s hospitality services.

Golderer likes to tell Cook that they’re both in the business of feeding people — they’re just working at different price points. Unlike other soup kitchens in the city, the Broad Street Ministry operates with more than a modicum of humanity. Homeless or hungry diners sit at tables in a lovely old church and are given a healthful meal prepared by an actual chef and served tableside by volunteer waitstaff. It’s all very civilized compared to most soup kitchens.

“We came up with this idea of a restaurant that you and I would go in,” Cook says. “We’d drop our $8 or $10 on lunch and know that by doing that we were doing something that actually makes a difference.” (caroline@citypaper.net) 36 | P H I L A D E L P H I A C I T Y PA P E R |

SWEET AND SALTY: Tequila cocktails and smoked and fried chicharrones at Lolita.

BIG SISTER BYO tequila no more, Lolita is all grown up.

t was five years into the new millennium. I was a freshly minted college grad with a flip-phone in my pocket and a fifth of Cuervo in my fist. A maelstrom of Restaurant Week humanity vibrated behind the smoky glass storefront of Lolita, a-year-old Mexican BYOT — ‘T’ for tequila, hence the bottle in my hand — from a former Audrey Claire chef who also owned the housewares boutique across the street in this “up-and-coming” neighborhood.

I pushed inside to meet friends for dinner. It was dark and noisy as a nightclub in a cave, with the turn-and-burn service of a restaurant in hell. The staff rushed, we lingered. Fresh strawberry-basil margarita mix flowed as we took turns playing bartender and ordered sophisticated carne asada filet mignons in pools of plantain crema.

Nine years later, things have changed. I wear less gel in my hair, and my tastes in tequila have improved. That up-and-coming ’hood is a full-fledged juggernaut of commerce, one of the city’s most vital strips where chef Marcie Turney has built an eight-business empire with partner Valerie Safran.

Skirt, flank and rib eye get more play in my steak rotation than dull filet mignon these days, and I tend to keep strawberries in my shortcakes and out of my cocktails. Yet, there I was, nine years after my first dinner at Lolita, back in the restaurant with a strawberry-basil margarita and the carne asada. I didn’t have to bring my own booze this time; Turney and Safran celebrated the restaurant’s 10th birthday by securing Lolita a liquor license, the centerpiece of a total overhaul that refreshed décor, moved the kitchen, installed a bar and renewed the room’s energy. Little Lolita now looks and feels like its younger sister, Barbuzzo.

Down to its plantain-chip garnish, balanced on top like a seesaw, the carne asada is the only item from the original menu that survived the transition to a street food, Mexico Cityinspired focus. I get its presence for posterity — it’s the dish that started it all for Turney and Safran — but its creamy sweetness, brash spice and overbearing size seemed out of date and out of place among the petite, colorful, snacky plates it followed. “It had to stay,” Turney says of the sacrosanct asada. In Lolita 1.0’s heyday, “We were going through two cases of tenderloins a week. It was fucking nuts.” Now, its presence is also a function of the need for enough trim to cover the crazy popular Korean barbecue filet-tip tacos, one of Roy Choi’s many bastard stepchildren spread across the States. With a marinade that counts sriracha, ginger and

Little Lolita now looks and feels like its younger sister, Barbuzzo. sesame among its ingredients, a verdant Thai basil salsa verde and jicama kimchi that I wish had been more potent, the only Mexican things about these tacos are the tortillas.

But, oh, what tortillas they are, featherweight and warm, made twice daily on a hand-cranked Lenin tortilladora slumbering like a beast in the basement. They upheld other toppings on Lolitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new menu: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cholula friedâ&#x20AC;? chicken, orange-and-canela carnitas, mahi mahi in cornflake crumbs and whateverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spinning on the Trompo,â&#x20AC;? the nightly special cooked on the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vertical spit. Thin, fat-rippled shavings of pork al pastor, roasted between pineapples and onions and basted in guanciale fat, appeared the night I dined, along with inkblots of brooding salsa negra, cool aguacate and sweet-tart pineapple salsa.

Fried squash blossoms, another special on the chalkboard hanging by the entrance, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be missed while early summer keeps vines aflower. Stuffed with ricotta flecked with lemon zest, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think they got lost on their way to Barbuzzo; roasted jalapeĂąo and tomato-corn salsa put the crispy blossoms in context.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall in love with the dry vegetable-topped garden nachos or the chopped salad, a treasure hunt for fresh garbanzos, charred corn kernels and pepitas in a three-lettuce hedge soaked in buttermilk-herb dressing.

Get the chicharrones instead, big, beautiful, smoked and fried pork skin dusted in Turneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;chich powder,â&#x20AC;? an addictive blend of cumin, coriander, paprika and dehydrated vinegar. They broke into shards with audible snaps. I dipped them like fries into accompanying cups of habanero hot sauce and cool spring onion ranch. I may have even snuck one into my Michelada, a mug of Modelo Especial dosed with the smoky house salsa roja, lime and spices. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of my favorites, and like its cousin, the bloody mary, crafting a mix takes an almost culinary approach. Turney and beverage director Terence Lewis delivered, as did their rainbow of margaritas, which supplement the usual suspects with flavors like cucumber-jalapeno and beet.

My fresh grapefruit Paloma, meanwhile, arrived with a candy-striped paper straw that looked great but disintegrated, and a scoop of prickly pear sorbet sinking into the drink like the sun into the horizon. The magenta ice gives the drink its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violetaâ&#x20AC;? surname, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have it in a bowl for dessert with the lush avocado-lime helado and floral, tangy passion fruit nieve. The sweet coconut tres leches was heated to order in the tamale steamer, a trick thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clever but made the cake as warm and damp as a Yucatan jungle. Still, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only polite to have some cake at a birthday party, and Lolita is rightly celebrating all year long. Ten years is a long time in the restaurant business. When Turney and Safran blow out the candles, I know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wish for: 10 more. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

I am glad that you are not calling me as much since your bitch ex-boyfriend is around! He is an asshole! Oh, by the way did you ever forgive him for sleeping with your sister? I guess your stupid ass did because he is now sleeping back in the same bed that he did the shit to you in the fucking first place! You're a fat asshole...I think most fat girls are gross!

MUNCHIE!

T

1-2 YEARS OLD Hi, I’m Munchie! I’m a 1-2 year old pit bull mix who loves to cuddle. I get along with dogs, but no cats, please. I love to play but can also settle down nicely around the house. If you meet me, I just know you’ll fall in love!

DID I CHANGE I am asking myself did I change because when we were on the phone talking the other night you mentioned a few things but they didn’t seem to matter to me! Did they matter to me before? Only time will tell! I told you that I may need some time to myself, and you seemed like you were alright with that..did that change? We did have so much fun together and I didn’t want that to end. But maybe, just maybe, we grew apart. Why are we trying to hold on to something that just isn’t there?

You have cheated and you’ve lied to my face. I took you back, because I thought I loved you, but now the sheer sight of your face sickens me! You deserve everything you get in this lifetime and I won’t punish you or try to seek revenge. Knowing karma is a bitch is just enough for me. Every word you ever ut40 | P H I L A D E L P H I A C I T Y PA P E R |

BooBoo, thank you for loving me even when i fell outta love with you! Eight months of lies and cheating compared to a sudden change in heart was simply not enough to convince me that you SAW THE ERROR OF YOU WAYS!!! I’m tired of being hurt by young minded girls who disguise themselves as grown women. There are good guys in this world but, the problem is there are too few good women to be found. One day you will find yours but, for me, I just lost mine. P.S.- you were right. Real love is being able to let go and not stay around around just for the sake of sticking around.

THAT DICKSUCK Hey girl...where did you get those fucking lips...you made me come and now you are mad because I will not speak to you...yeah you know that it is true..you keep on telling me over and over that you love me and I told you before that it is only about me and my receiving oral sex you were happy with that... now here you go telling my girlfriend all this shit..

I denied it...now the ball is in your court and there is nothing you can do about it but just leave me alone...I fucking used you...deal with it.

TIME TO LOVE ME! Munchie is waiting at PAWS Northeast Adoption Center at 1810 Grant Avenue (at Bustleton).

All PAWS animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption.

For more information, call 215-238-9901 or email adoptions@phillypaws.org

imprint a permanent grin on my otherwise morose face. I’m already looking forward to next year, and all of you are a huge part of that. Thank you for proving once more that smart IS sexy! LOVE YOU ALL!

MAKING YOU LOOK GOOD EVERY RING IS CALLED KARMA

SEAT OBSESSION! Hey old dude...get yourself together! It is only a seat...You have no rights and you don’t own the shit! If you really feel that you are privileged to the fucking seat why don’t you ask the people at the store to reserve it for you or something. I think that it is pathetic for you to act the way you do! I only saw you for a few seconds but I know that you are a mental case! Get yourself and your life together!

CARING!

Wasn’t it enough that you cheated on me with your 56-year-old “lesbian” mentor, my ex-coworker, and anything with a pussy? I dropped you months ago and you continue to call me. I couldn’t even enjoy a game win without seeing that dusty pussy’s name on my caller ID when I got home. How about paying for your own cell phone instead of using dusty pussy’s? Stop calling me, move out of mommy’s house, and get a life. Your dick can only take you so far.

for all of ten minutes when I picked you up off the street. I’m the one with the car. I stay at your place for two nights, move into my own place, and then suddenly you’re: ridiculous, trifling, dramatic, and certified CRAZY! I guess you thought that I was going to be on your schedule? At your mercy? And also some kind of “play to stay” whore? Sorry bitch, that’s not me. It’s only been two days, so clearly you don’t know me. Also, Fuck Off!

I don’t understand your way of thinking...all the whole time I had to convinece the waiter that I wasn’t going to run out you were getting in your car ready to pull the fuck off! I hate shit like that...why are you playing so many games? Don’t call me because I will tell the cops that it was your idea to run out... lucky I had money because I would have been in jail over your foolishness.

Alright you just had a birthday and it is time to make some decisions! I want you to know that I love you alot and how much longer do I have to wait until I get a commitment from you? I don’t know what the future will hold but I hope that we are together but most of all I hope that you can decide what you want because you are the only one that is interested in me and or what I can bring to the table. I know that I am attractive, creative and many other things. Why should I have to deal with your games? Make up your mind, what do you want?
