Rotten Egg Regarding Tara Murtha’s column about Broad Street Review Editor Dan Rottenberg’s editorial about women and rape: Rottenberg just trashed whatever reputation he had with this nonsense. It’s don’t-know-where-to-look bad, atrocious on every level, from the writing to the warped un-logic to the hateful and insidious implications. Its worst crime may be how goddamn lazy it is. Just awful.

OY BARONEY, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Child Support Regarding a male child abuse survivor’s take on rape: There is a special place in hell for people such as your stepfather. Kids don’t typically lie about abuse. I suppose I would be in jail because I would have hunted his ass down later in life and lit a match to his genitals. When my daughter was growing up and I was dating, I never allowed my dates into my home. I met them at the door and we went out. I always figured home should be a safe haven for kids. I have a cousin who is pretty much screwed up because her mother’s boyfriend touched her inappropriately and she didn’t believe her.

What kind of woman thinks a man is more important than her child? Sadly, they live among us. I wish women were more vigilant about who they allow into their lives—especially when they have kids. But I guess that’s wishful thinking.

FRAN, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Thank you for having the courage to say and write your experiences! I’m 47 years old and still today I’m haunted with the memories of being abused by my stepfather and no one would listen.

LYNN, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Don't Want No Scrub Regarding Nicole Finkbiner’s article about Hollaback Philly, a group focused on ending street harassment: I’m inspired by the cause and method of Hollaback. Confronting the problem is done so, literally. And whether its snapping a picture of the perpetrator (the cell phone is mightier than the sword), or making them feel daunted by announcing their trespasses to a crowd, these amoral misfits and masters of degradation are put on blast. A beautiful woman is not a commodity. As men looking to lend ourselves to the cause, HBG’s notion of a take-action stance allows us an opportunity to do more than empathize with the repulsion; we, too, can demonstrate the essential difference between sympathy and solidarity by joining the revolt. See you on July 21.

Even after a lengthy court battle, the city can’t decide if swingers clubs are legal.

By Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com rya n st r a n d

Swing and a miss: Trapeze, a swingers club in Fishtown, has been shut down—for now.

Philly grants permits for all sorts of

The showdown began with the city’s Zoning Board of Adjustments, which regulates city development and property uses.

On Oct. 4, 2007, Mostow and Freeland’s attorneys began filing applications for new permits, which the ZBA denied. The city claimed the application was less than truthful, since it did not mention sex. Five days later, another application was filed, and again denied due to “vagueness.”

So Mostow and Freeland agreed to come clean, so long as the city issued them a new permit. “They wanted a permit that says you’re allowed to have sexual activity,” says Young. But the ZBA passed the issue off, saying, “it was beyond their authority to clarify” if a private clubhouse is permitted to allow sexual activity. “My clients took issue with the fact that the Zoning Board wouldn’t define what the permit was.”

After two years of legal arguments, in February 2009, the ZBA finally offered a negotiated permit. It’d be for the application of a private club for “lawful” activities “as permitted under the Philadelphia code”—but swinging and sexual intercourse still weren’t mentioned. Mostow and his attorneys worried the city was setting a trap to

left their doors open? Is it now considered a swingers club? What if the six couples staying at the B&B decide they want to meet downstairs and watch a porno? What does that become?”

It’s been almost four years, and Mostow’s

still waiting, even as the case ended this spring without a conclusion.

All the stranger, there’s another couples club still open for business in the city. PW exchanged an email with the manager of the Pleasure Garden, who claimed, “Other places were closed due to NON adult zoning.” “[The Pleasure Garden] is in a commercially zoned property,” says Maura Kennedy, director of Strategic Initiatives at L&I. “It has a zoning classification that allows for cabarets and adult entertainment. [Salmon Street] was attempting to operate in a residential neighborhood. That’s the difference here.” O’Brien says he believes in a “be good or be gone” philosophy for city properties, and Trapeze was not good.

“I would say … the final opinion of the case is ambiguous,” says O’Brien. “If everyone’s looking for clarification … the ZBA should make a clarification as to whether a permit can and should say they can have sex in a private club.”

But ‘ambiguous’ is good enough for Mostow. Since no one’s got an answer, he’s got one for them: a new grand opening is set for the fall. “I told [L&I], if you can show me one law that says swing clubs consisting of consenting adults are illegal,” he says, “I’ll be the first to pack my bags and leave. But until then, I’m not going anywhere.” n

vices—bathhouses, massage parlors, strip clubs, burlesque establishments—and there’s nothing in city code that prohibits swingers. In fact, it’s hard to imagine that swingers clubs didn’t make their way in the zoning code at some point, considering that the code actually defines specific sexual activities and situations: “Human genitals in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal”; “Fondling or other erotic touching of human genitals, pubic region, buttocks or female breasts;” and so on. All these definitions are used to legitimize the city’s hedonism, but make no mention of swinging.

“The Philadelphia code is what’s called a permissive code,” says a city official—who requested anonymity—of the city’s interpretation of its own code. “That means that if it’s not officially permitted, it’s basically, by inference, not permitted.”

Attorney Kenneth Young—who represents Mostow and Freeland and who had previously represented Club Kama Sutra during that swingers club’s losing battle with the city (the South Street location was shut down by L&I in 2006 because it was operating with a restaurant license)—disagrees.

“Permissive code is the biggest bunch of crap,” he says. “Even if you take that position, it’s invalid because [Trapeze] is a private organization. You have to join and become a member. This is a clubhouse and social affairs hall. If they want to have meetings there and half the people start having sex with each other, well, that’s fine because the primary purpose of the clubhouse is to be private, and sex isn’t illegal.”

The 2533 Salmon St. address had been zoned as a “meeting room, social affairs and clubhouse for a literary association” for

kick them out for good.

In later court documents, the ZBA would explicitly state the appeal “did not address the question of whether a private club for engaging in noncommercialized sexual activity is permitted under the Philadelphia Code.”

“We were dumbfounded,” says Mostow.

“All the attorneys we’d ever spoken to constantly said, ‘Open up, open up,’ … There was no reason to be closed.” But it seemed that every time they were about to, the threat of another cease-and-desist order lurked in the shadows of city government.

“My thought process was, what if you went to a bed and breakfast in Philadelphia,” says Mostow, “and the B&B had six rooms where six different couples from all over the country were staying? Now, what if they

Save for a pizza shop and laundromat, the 2500 block of Salmon Street in Fishtown is fairly residential. And despite the roar of I-95 just a block away, the street remains relatively quiet. There’s another business on the block, but you might not notice it from the outside. For one, it’s windowless. The dull black awning, which used to read “Trapeze,” sits weathered. It’s the only remaining sign that this used to be a swingers club.

Vacant since 2007, Trapeze is businessman Alan Mostow’s third and most embattled sex club. A client of the industry since the ’80s, Mostow co-owns and operates two other Trapezes (one in Atlanta, Ga.; the other in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) with business partner Dennis Freeland. But only the Philadelphia location has faced legal problems this serious, and for this long—Mostow has spent the last four years battling the city over the club’s legality.

“If I opened up a business and people didn’t come, then I’m out of luck,” says Mostow, who remembers being asked by a Philly cop—and client—in the early 2000s if he would expand into the North. “But I obeyed the law. I ran a 100 percent private club where couples and singles could come … be in a safe environment and have a good meal.”

The club was apparently a hit. In its eight months in business, Trapeze attracted more than 1,000 members and was taking business away from the Pleasure Garden, a club at 61st and Passyunk (which a former club member calls the “Motel 6 to Trapeze’s Crown Plaza”). So, naturally, Mostow would like to reopen. But he still doesn’t know if he legally can until the city answers the question lingering on everyone’s minds: Are Philadelphians allowed to have sex anywhere besides their own homes?

The short answer: It’s complicated.

decades, but only recently had anyone really been paying attention. In the ’90s, it converted from a club for immigrants—similar to what RUBA on Green Street once was—to an after-hours hot spot called Tribecca. And that’s when the complaints began.

Tribecca argued then, as Trapeze argues now, that any and all private-use permits allow members to remain in private and do whatever they want. “[Trapeze] was zoned as a literary club, which gives it a privateclub license,” Young says. “What goes on in a private club is private as long as it doesn’t violate any laws.”

Mostow maintains he wasn’t disturbing anyone, either. “We didn’t have any gawky signs, we didn’t paint the building hot pink,” he says. “And except for one neighbor, we had no problems. We contributed to neighbors whose kids were Boy Scouts, we cleaned up and down the street … we took as much pride as the next person on the block.”

But some in the area see it a bit differently.

One neighbor told PW, “They’d get started at two, three in the afternoon sometimes. My kids would be out riding bikes, then come inside and ask me who these people were.”

The neighbor says participants showed up in scant leather outfits. “I’d just say [to my kids], those are bad people, don’t go near them.”

Complaints mounted, and Trapeze was served with two cease-and-desist notices, which confused clientele (some of whom came from hundreds of miles away) and hurt business. In addition to noise complaints, neighbors pleaded with their representatives, such as state Rep. Mike O’Brien and Ward Leader Margaret Rzepski, to help them get rid of the establishment. And in August 2007, just eight months after opening its doors, L&I served its final notice to Trapeze, shuttering the club until further notice.

Rod is part of a group of “everyday guys” who used their retirement funds to invest in the research of a rare combination of herbs from the far East.

Today they are receiving national acclaim for the all natural formula called 112 DegreesTM, specifically designed to target the maturing man’s overall energy, interest and physical performance by improving and optimizing total body circulation and prostate function.

Thailand’s Gift to Men 112 Degrees contains top-quality, all-natural ingredients such as Tribulus Terrestris, L-Tyrosine, Pueraria, and Acai, formulated to improve male sexual health and performance, as well as support overall health and vitality.

However, one ingredient in the formula can’t help but stand-up in the group.

Butea Superba - One branch has 3 leaves and the flowers are of a yellowish orange color. It’s long roots are similar to the roots of a yam and matures to about 8 to 9 inches. When the root is cut, it leaks red sap. Scientist have studied both the sap and the root fibers to isolate the male potency powers of this beautiful plant.According to a 2003 article in the Asian Journal Andrology the preparations of Butea are for male erectile dysfunction. It is affectionately referred to as herbal Viagra.

“My husband started taking 112 Degrees because he was experiencing performance irregularities. After taking 112 Degrees, he has no problems."

Christy, AZ\ Proof of Performance Health professionals have noted that the “oddly-shaped root” may produce benefits such as a significant increase in the weight of the testes, higher sperm counts and a greater release of male sex hormones, which explains the plant's reputation for increasing men’s sexuality. This translates into an overall better experience.

Breakthrough Combination 112 Degrees users have also noted changes that include increased morning arousals, more intense release, improved urination, including ease of going and urine flow, and even getting up less during the night to urinate.

Users can expect to experience improved blood flow, better prostate function and a dramatic increase in stamina.

“Early morning erections have returned. Sustained erections during intercourse. I am satisfied so far.” John, NY. Try A Bottle Free If you’re a man 45 years or older, generally healthy, who has noticed a decline in libido, physical ability or urinary function, then you may be suffering from reduced circulation and unhealthy prostate function and you can benefit from a free 30-day supply of 112 Degrees.

This non-prescription strength formula can help with sexual health and overall performance without side effects. LIFE SPAN Labs is sending out the first bottle free as part of a special promotion.

Redistricting hurts Latino communities.

This year, there’s a chance to change that.

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com rya n st r a n d

7th’s heaven: The mostly Latino district, above, wants to be heard. Visit philadelphiaweekly.com to see a map of the 7th’s ideal district lines.

nobody even tries to pretend there is any goal other than to protect incumbents (or in some cases, punish dissident legislators). “This is the most political process,” Quiñones-Sánchez agrees. “It shouldn’t be, but it is.” A few states have taken the task away from politicians entirely, putting redistricting in the hands of truly independent commissions. Thirty years of efforts

by Common Cause and other groups to do something similar in Pennsylvania have all failed so far, and the power still lies in the hands of the top four legislative leaders.

The state is considering a more open process this time, with public hearings before and after the new maps are drawn to collect input. “Our goal is to adopt a redistricting plan that is fair and legal,” says Erik Arneson, communications and policy director for Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi. “Minority representation, along with other traditional redistricting principles such as contiguity and compactness, will certainly be among the factors considered in developing such a plan.” But to take the ultimate power away from the House and Senate leaders would require a change in the state constitution, which isn’t happening anytime soon.

Locally, Council is considering public hearings as well to open up the process somewhat, but Mayor Nutter’s campaign promise of a citizen’s commission to draw the lines has come to naught. “There’s no political appetite for that,” QuiñonesSánchez says.

“The mayor is no longer talking about a citizen’s commission as such, as he did when running for office,” says Nutter spokesman Mark McDonald. “He’s more focused on encouraging City Council to have open hearings—multiple hearings—hearings that encourage input from the public.”

In the meantime, Latino Lines will likely be able to push through a good part of their agenda. But true reform requires state and city legislators to willingly cede the power to create their own districts. Don’t hold your breath. n

•

“You have to have political representation in order to get your agenda on the table,” says Ortiz, who has been trying to create a “Latino district” ever since he came to Philadelphia in the mid-1970s. He’s been frustrated, failing in two attempts in 1991 and 2001 to persuade the rest of Council to consolidate Latino political power. This time, though no longer a member of the legislative body, he thinks the time is ripe.

“We’re [12.3] percent of the population almost all in one area,” Ortiz says. “If we make the case to our people, and our people understand that we’re getting screwed, then it’s easier to motivate politically and drive the process.”

“It’s always been to us a very black or white city,” says Nilda Ruiz, nibbling at a traditional Puerto Rican farm meal of cod and veggies at a Norris Square restaurant, near the bottom of the 7th. “We always feel like a little ham in the middle.”

Ruiz is president of the Association de Puerto Ricanos en Marcha, which provides a variety of social services and is part of the Latino Lines coalition. She makes the case for specific “Latino issues” that deserve political recognition: “Unemployment,” she says. “We have the highest dropout rate, because someone might speak with an accent or broken English. Maybe we need a difference curriculum at our schools because our children don’t have the same advantages.”

Ortiz and others assert that the 2001 redistricting actually violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by deliberately disenfranchising

Bustleton, land of the strip mall, is a dreary, sterile place. The greatest excitement lies in the death-defying task of crossing the 12 lanes of Roosevelt Boulevard. If you survive, heading west, you’ve entered the northeast corner of the 7th City Council District.

The district corkscrews down the city like a curly pig’s tail, from the middleclass neighborhoods in the far hinterlands through the burgeoning immigrant communities in the lower Northeast. In two places, it narrows to such a point that it appears you need to walk down the middle of the road to actually stay within the lines. Eventually, the district widens in Juniata Park and bulges out to a more contiguous blob.

The distorted shape is no illusion: According to local software company Azavea, which studies redistricting around the country, the 7th is the most gerrymandered local district in the nation. The deed was done when the lines were last redrawn in 2001, so that the 7th, which contained an ever-increasing Latino population, would retain enough white people to ensure Rick Mariano’s re-election in 2004. It worked, though he ended up in jail in 2006 on corruption charges.

The victims: Latino communities, whose voting power has been sliced and diced every which way (read: disenfranchisement).

Now, with another round of redistricting on the summer agenda, a group called Latino Lines, headed by former Councilman-AtLarge Angel Ortiz, is working to ensure that this time, Latinos protect their right to be heard.

know what to expect because I’ve never been through this before,” says the legislator, who is black and who has held his seat since 2007. “I don’t expect what I say or think really matters in this process.”

At its heart, the redistricting debate runs deeper than just ensuring representation for different minority groups—it’s a symptom of a broken, corrupt political process. When legislators get to redraw their own districts,

Over the Line

Latino voters and denying them the opportunity to elect a representative of their choice—but nobody had the resources to challenge it in court.

Creating districts to specifically empower “communities of interest” is a valid interpretation of the law, says Barry Kauffman, executive director of advocacy group Common Cause Pennsylvania, which has been working to reform the state redistricting process for three decades.

“There are protections under the voting rights act,” he says.

To push their agenda, Latino Lines has drawn its own idealized maps of how the districts should be broken up. The 7th would lose its curly pig tail and expand east and north, raising the Latino population from 50 to 58 percent. But if the group is to get its wish, it needs to have City Council on board. Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, who was elected councilwoman to the 7th in 2007 and subsequently cruised through her primary this spring, makes the case that Latinos already elect a candidate of their choice: her. “The argument that we couldn’t elect a Latino went out in 2007,” she says in her City Hall office, where at least as much Spanish as English is spoken by visitors and staff. “It’s a political reality that the Latino voice is here.”

The real salient issue, she argues, is keeping communities intact—of ethnicity, economic status and other common issues—so they are easier to represent and in turn have an easier time receiving grants and services. The quality-of-life complaints that come into her office from Bustleton are far different from the struggles with crime, drugs and poverty in the Latino areas further south. Worse, a neighborhood like Oxford Circle, one of the choke points in the lower Northeast, spreads over four different districts, requiring an unfathomable amount of cooperation between Council members to get anything done.

Quiñones-Sánchez acknowledges that Ortiz’s proposal would surely help her future election chances by putting more Latinos in her area, but says the group should be careful about stepping on other legislators’ toes. “I would caution them about drawing other people’s districts,” she says. “You’re putting people’s backs against the wall.”

It’s not just a city problem. Latino Lines has its eyes set on the state house seats, too, where currently only one district, Angel Cruz’s 180th, could be considered primarily Latino. The group would actually reduce the number of Latinos in Cruz’s district from 70 to 60 percent, while maintaining a majority.

“The process is long overdue,” Cruz says.

“These lines we have created go back and correct what was done 10 years ago ... so we’ll have two Latino districts.”

The group would transform the 179th from a heavily gerrymandered, 38 percent Latino area to a compact 62 percent, which would dramatically change the constituency of current State Rep. Tony Payton. “I don’t

A Fighting Chance Mike Jones could be Philly’s next great boxer.

By Michael Alan Goldberg mgoldberg@philadelphiaweekly.com Photographs by Laura Kicey

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 29 - July 5, 2011 •

It’s Saturday night, June 25. Fight night at the South Philly Arena. The main event: A 10-round bout between rising 28-year-old Philadelphia welterweight boxer Mike “Machine Gun” Jones and 35-year-old Raul Munoz, a journeyman fighter who’s not expected to be much of a challenge.

Jones’ camp is calling this a “stay busy” fight while they try to negotiate a September bout with a yet-to-be-determined “bigger name” opponent. The arena is sold out. More than 1,100 rabid Philly boxing fans are here to see Jones fight in his hometown for the first time in two years.

In the stifling hot dressing room, the same room in which Jones prepared for his first professional fight six years ago, the mood is tense. Kaseem Wilson, another local boxer handled by Jones’ local promoter, J. Russell Peltz, and Team Jones—manager Doc Nowicki, manager/cut-man Jimmy Williams, trainer Vaughn Jackson and conditioning coach/ wrap-man Danny Davis—just lost one of the undercard bouts. The decision could have gone either way, and Wilson is stewing on a chair in the corner.

As Jones gets his stretches in, a third boxer from the Peltz/Team Jones stable, Anthony Flores, prepares for his fight. He marches "There's out to the ring with Team Jones.

A few minutes later, a muffled nowhere roar penetrates the dressing-room to hide, there's wall. Jones rushes out to see what’s happening in the fight. One no timeouts. of the big screens in the arena is You're gonna replaying, in excruciating slowmotion, Flores enduring one of the win or you're most brutal knockouts you’ll ever gonna lose." witness; the first-round punch sending him into the corner out cold, legs twitching. Doctors are administering oxygen to him inside the ring. A few minutes later, Team Jones carries Flores back into the dressing room. He’s awake and sitting on a chair, but he has no idea who or where he is. He’s taken to an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.

Jones shakes his head, paces a bit, then gets back to his stretching. “Just part of the game,” the grim-faced Jackson mutters.

As Davis tapes up Jones’ hands—a long, quiet, almost sacred pre-fight preparation—the Flores drama quickly melts away. Jones is stoic, meditative, in his zone as his team laces up his gloves and he and Jackson spar for a few minutes, his punches cracking like cannon fire into Jackson’s mitts.

Finally, well past 11 p.m., it’s time to fight. The Fox Sports Net cameras are ready to go. Philly boxing legend Bernard Hopkins—Jones’ friend and mentor—is ringside. So are Jones’ mother, older sister and girlfriend.

The crowd is pumped. A “Mike Jones! Who? MIKE JONES!” chant starts up.

“He’s gonna KILL this guy!” shouts one Jones fan in the first row.

The paunchy Munoz enters the ring to boos. The place erupts in cheers when the supremely chiseled, six-foot Jones enters the ring.

Introductions. More cheers. And then the bell.

Round 1. Jones and Munoz circle the ring, taking tentative swipes at one another. Jones is patient, feeling out his opponent, moving quickly around the ring, jabbing and delivering shots to the body. The out-of-condition Munoz seems more desperate, and is already breathing heavy.

Ding. End of round one.

Ding. Round 2. Munoz, knowing there’s no way he’ll last 10 rounds, starts charging Jones, swinging wildly, hoping to catch him with a haymaker. Fluid and sharp, Jones steps aside like a matador, counterpunching Munoz’s body.

Munoz drops his hands to defend his flanks. Jones plants a colossal overhand right on Munoz’s jaw. Munoz crumples to the mat. A huge roar from the crowd. Munoz tries to get up, wobbles, and that’s it.

At 2:29 of the second round, a TKO. Fight over. Jones remains undefeated. Twenty five wins, 19 by knockout.

In the post-fight, in-ring interview, Jones looks at the TV cameras and tells everyone watching that he wants “Pac-Man”—Manny Pacquiao, widely considered the best pound-for-pound boxer on the planet right now—next. Back in the dressing room, Jones doesn’t look like he was just in a fight—Munoz barely touched him. As Jones changes into his street clothes, a couple reporters pepper him with questions about Pacquiao.

“I don’t know what’s on Manny Pacquiao’s agenda, but I’m willing to fight the best,” says Jones.

And Team Jones thinks he’s ready to take him on. They say that Jones’ size, talent, ring smarts and his unique combination of power and finesse would give Pacquiao fits.

Some agree—the World Boxing Organization (WBO) has Jones ranked as the world’s No. 1 contender to Pacquiao’s welterweight throne. Others say his undefeated record is padded with tomato cans, that he hasn’t taken on any “real” fighters, and that he’d be hopelessly outmatched against Pac-Man. Regardless, many signs point to Jones being on a collision course with Pacquiao for a world welterweight title fight, possibly as soon as next year. And if he were to defeat Pacquiao, Jones would almost assuredly gain a spot in the pantheon of all-time great Philly boxers. Philadelphia has a rich boxing tradition, but it’s been a while since a young phenom with real potential to reach the top of the boxing world came up in this city. Is Jones that guy? Right now, the answer is unknown. At the moment, outside of boxing circles, so is Mike Jones.

•

Part of that is his own doing. Jones isn’t one for selfpromotion—his camp tells him he should go on Twitter or Facebook more, but he’s not interested. He hates to bring attention to himself outside the ring. He doesn’t talk himself up. He brings up the skills he needs to improve upon— his jab, he says—rather than gloat over his talents (his speed, his balance, his powerful right hand, for example).

He has no desire to create a public persona. He never travels with an entourage, not even on fight nights. He doesn’t drink, so he’s not out at the bars, and he’s not interested in the nightlife scene. He finds it slightly uncomfortable when people recognize him on the street. “I’ve always been this way,” says Jones. “Bein’ a loner growing up, it’s just my personality. I’m comfortable that way. I just like to be by myself.”

Northern Liberties, or going for a run on Kelly Drive, Jones is a virtual hermit, holing up in his Frankford home. Family is everything to Jones. He says a perfect day is hanging out on the couch watching TV with his two daughters from a previous relationship—7-year-old Myana and 5-year-old Alyza. He also helps look after his father, Mike Sr., who suffers from diabetes and has had two strokes in recent years, keeping him mostly confined to bed in the Mt. Airy home where Jones was raised. Jones says his freakishly strict diet and fitness regimen, which keeps him at the 147-pound limit to fight as a welterweight, is also partly influenced by watching what his dad’s gone through. “I’d eat right and train hard even if I wasn’t into boxing, ’cause I want to be alive and healthy for a long time.”

It was his lone-wolf attitude, and his dad’s encouragement, that got Jones into boxing in the first place. He mostly played basketball as a kid, but at 15 he began to crave the one-on-one nature of boxing. “You’re responsible for yourself. There’s nowhere to hide, there’s no timeouts. You’re gonna win or you’re gonna lose,” says Jones. He starts to laugh. “I was trying to burn off some of that teenage anger, too. Turn the aggression into something beautiful.”

Jones asked his father to take him over to Joe Frazier’s Gym on North Broad Street so he could learn how to box.

“He said, ‘If you wanna fight, then you gotta get on the bus and come down here and train hard every day and get ready for these fights and fight your heart out.’ So that’s what I did.”

For anyone used to the Mike Tysons, the Floyd Mayweathers, the B-Hops of the world, Jones’ attitude might seem unusual. It’s definitely refreshing. Jones is soft-spoken, friendly and exceedingly humble. He’s a Philly guy through and through, content to be a regular Joe with blue-collar sensibilities. Until last year, he worked part-time as a forklift operator at a Home Depot in Cherry Hill, N.J. Now that fight paydays have gotten better, boxing has become his full-time profession, and he treats it like any other job. “You gotta show up, work hard, do what you’re supposed to, listen to what people tell you to do,” he says. “A lot of people count on you.”

When he’s not training at Joe Hand Boxing Gym in

Frazier and his son, Marvis, trained the young Jones to punch, and punch hard—the same bruising style that helped the elder Frazier become heavyweight champ. But they also wanted him to skip amateurs and turn pro while he was still a teenager. “[Jones] said he wasn’t ready for that ... so he left,” says Nowicki. Jones pursued amateur boxing, fighting 70 times and amassing a record of about 60-10, he estimates. Three years after graduating from Martin Luther King High, he decided to go pro, and linked up with Nowicki, Jackson and Peltz. “One of the first things I said to him was, ‘I hope you’re not one of the guys who wants to rush to the top—I want you to get seasoned, and you’ll always be put in with someone who’ll make you fight,’” says Nowicki.

Jackson taught Jones how to really box, to augment the hard punch he’d picked up from the Fraziers. “He had the skills, the body frame ... he’s strong, he’s got heart, good habits,” says Jackson. “He learned quick.”

Jones says it’s the nuances of the sport that he appreciates the most. “Boxing is a real art. The idea is not to just go in there and slug and get all crazy MMA [mixed martial arts] style. You’re supposed to think in there, you’re supposed to paint a picture in there, and that’s what I try to do.”

Still, he’s as visceral a boxer as he is cerebral. Jones’ first pro fight was a slated four-round affair at New Alhambra (now South Philly Arena) a week before Christmas 2005.

combinations, got him against the ropes, and wailed on him for a good minute, landing close to 60 punches as the crowd roared. But the notoriously tough Soto-Karass, who’d never been knocked out in his 33-fight career, somehow withstood the barrage, and Jones eventually ran out of gas, unable to throw a punch. His corner was furious at him—they’d instructed him to methodically break down Soto-Karass instead of go for the quick kill. Sapped of energy, he’d have to find a way to get through the next eight rounds and maintain his undefeated record. “I was pretty much a dead man walking,” Jones recalls. “I had nothing, had no legs at all.”

But he dug deep and managed to get his second wind by

He was 22. His opponent was Jason Thompson, a Golden Gloves winner from New York. “It was unreal,” Jones says of the night. “When I got in [the ring] it felt like I was exploding—all that energy and emotion, the butterflies, the first time being in there. I was like a caged lion walking back and forth.” “[Thompson] came down with piss and vinegar,” says Nowicki. “He had no idea who Mike Jones was.” Jones knocked Thompson out in the second round for his first win. “Then the word was, ‘Whoa, who’s Mike Jones?’” says Nowicki. Jones scored knockouts in all but one of his next 11 fights. He fought in Las Vegas, in Niagara Falls, in Washington State, and by 2009 Jones was fighting (and winning) regularly in Atlantic City, with almost all of his wins coming by way of knockout.

His biggest test came last November, when he fought Jesus Soto-Karass in a featured undercard match before the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito title fight at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. There were 40,000 fans in attendance—by far the biggest crowd Jones had ever fought in front of—and millions more watching on HBO pay-perview. He wanted to make a statement that night, to show the world who Mike Jones was, and in the second round he thought he had Soto-Karass hurt and primed for an electrifying knockout.

Jones pounced on his opponent with several stinging

the 7th round, and ultimately won a controversial majority decision, infuriating Soto-Karass, who later called it “robbery.”

“Oh man, it was a big relief,” Jones says of the win. “After that I was like, never again, I’ll never be that stupid. But I think every fighter has to go through something like that to become a great fighter, you know?”

Due to the controversy, Jones quickly granted SotoKarass a rematch in Las Vegas in February. The 12-round affair went the distance—Jones again came out victorious, waging a much more poised fight as he bloodied SotoKarass en route to a unanimous decision.

Nigel Collins, editor-in-chief of Ring Magazine, says he was impressed with Jones’ growth between the two SotoKarass fights. “He was very lucky to get the decision in the first one, but he dominated the rematch, and that shows improvement and potential,” says Collins. But, like some other boxing pundits, Collins is skeptical of Jones’ prowess since he’s yet to fight any Top 10 welterweight talent—formidable foes like Andre Berto or Shane Mosley, or Britain’s Kell Brook.

“Until he steps up to fight legitimate contenders it’s hard to assess how good Mike really is,” says Collins. “It’s kind of ridiculous to talk about fighting Pacquiao until then.”

Jones says he’s eager to take on some of those big-name boxers. “I wanna fight these guys that the world wants to see

me fight. I’m not scared of anybody. “ Nowicki says he’d like to get Jones in the ring with top contenders, too, in order to build up his global name recognition and, ultimately, his marketability and viability as far as challenging a guy like Pacquiao in a big-money, pay-perview title fight. But landing those build-up fights, says Nowicki, isn’t easy, in part because of Jones’ significant height advantage over most welterweights. “If [other promoters are] building their guy up, they don’t want to put them in with someone like Mike, who’s a threat to knock them off and damage their chances of a title fight,” says Nowicki.

Still, the Jones camp has at least one important card up its sleeve: For the past year, Jones has been copromoted by Top Rank Boxing’s Bob Arum, the iconic promoter who’s put together some of the most celebrated boxing matches of the past 40 years, and who currently counts Pacquiao among his stable of star fighters. Arum recently called Jones “the best of the young welterweights,” and last week he sent out a Top Rank press release saying he was putting Jones on a “short list” of names for Pacquiao to consider fighting in 2012.

“Mike might be the first one to beat Manny in a long time,” says Jackson.

“Manny makes a ton of mistakes, and he hasn’t fought a young, hungry tiger like Mike. I think Mike should fight a name guy in September, and then another one early next year, and then we’re ready [for Pacquiao]. Why wait?”

It’ll probably take a convincing win over a familiar name in September to get Mike Jones’ name on the lips of average Philadelphians, much the same way few people pay attention to minor league ballplayers until they’re on the cusp of the bigs. An inked contract to fight Pacquiao will have everyone talking about Jones, and a win will cement his legend and status as the heir to Bernard Hopkins.

If the Pac-Man fight materializes, Jones certainly wouldn’t mind the guaranteed multi-million-dollar payday—he’d see to it that his father gets the best medical care possible, and he’d ensure that his daughters would be taken care of for life. But mostly, it’s about the chance to become a champion.

“It would be a dream come true,” says Jones. “I think about that every day. I work for that every day. I wanna be looked at as one of the greats. I want to leave a legacy so when I’m dead, I’ll still live on. That’s what I want out of this boxing game.” n

EXPLANATION The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold.

All Writs are Writs of Executions.

The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court indicate the Court out of which the

SHERIFF'S SALE

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 29 - July 5, 2011

Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be immediately offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court.

A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property.

Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of cash, certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County.

The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to

Garrison Starr

S

tarr’s an artist that sneaks up on you. At first blush she suggests a Lilith Fair acolyte, but wade into her seven-album catalog and you’ll discover a supple artist of great depth, grace and emotion. Like Kelly Willis, Starr’s comfortable with rock and country, though her twang’s of the Southern folk variety, and she doesn’t get to rock out as frequently live as on disc. (She mostly appears solo.) Her tender willowy vocals recall Shelby Lynne and her songs are less achy than searching, generally avoiding the narcissistic vibe one associates with singer/songwriters. Starr’s subtle grit, deft candor and agile arrangements manage to defy “chick music” conventions without losing their ladylike charm. chriS ParKer

Wawa Hoagie Day After returning last year following a 10-year hiatus, Wawa Hoagie Day is back again. The first hoagie day took place in 1992 in front of City Hall when Ed Rendell took a few bites and declared the hoagie the ‘Official Sandwich of Philadelphia.’ This year, they’re taking the officiality thing very seriously, as Mayor Nutter, Philadelphia firefighters and police officers dole out segments of the 4.5-ton hoagie and Wawa beverages to the hungry public. Combine that with the United Service Organizations partnering to support soldiers and local heroes (people, not subs) and you’ve got one serious sandwich. abiGail brUley Noon-2pm. Free.

The idea of self is a tricky one. How you view yourself may be quite different than the perceptions of those around you. Probably no one knows this better than a drag queen.

Therefore, who better to host Battle of the Bios, an event where a little light can be shed on both sides of this conundrum? Nueva Gabor will act as emcee as author/contestants bravely step forward, throwing their literary hats into the performance art ring. Each participant will present a short autobiographical tale to be judged by audience members. The contestant deemed to have the best fluidity, form, message and performance prowess will be rewarded with $100. To further tie into the self-reflexive theme of the evening, all attendees will have access to Magic Gardens’

Music

Blackberry Winter “Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody ...” begins “The Missouri Waltz,” Blackberry Winter’s most haunting song from the soundtrack they singlehandedly put together for the indie hit Winter’s Bone, a movie which took audiences into the Ozarks to follow a young woman looking for the truth about her meth dealing father. Make no mistake about it, this is the music of a place in which anything is possible—even sawing off your dead and water-logged father’s arm—and nothing is. The music in the film tells a somewhat different story—of a place full of family, and tradition, and people sitting around just enjoying a few tunes. The band, formed specifically for the film, is composed entirely of musicians from the Ozarks region.

On tour, they will be playing the complete set of music from the movie including traditional mountain folk songs and original compositions. eMMa eiSenberG 8pm. $18-$36. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. worldcafelive.com

Science Fair What do you think of when you think of chemistry? The crucial study of atomic and sub-atomic particles? That class you struggled to pass in high school? Maybe that meth lab

in the trailer down the street? There’s no time like the present to think about the “central science” because 2011 is, in fact, the International Year of Chemistry. The Chemical Heritage Foundation—a library, museum and academic center—has been spending the year showing how chemistry has benefited mankind, and as part of that illuminative celebration they’re hosting a free science fair today with Independence Day flair. Chemist Tom Twardowski will whip up some smoke and (small) explosions. Mütter Museum Director Robert Hicks will appear in costume to talk about Civil War medical procedures (hopefully that’s about more than just a few swigs of whiskey and a stick in your mouth while they amputate your leg). And CHF Assistant Curator Rosie Cook will perform some “color experiments” and help you make your own lava lamp. CHF will also unveil its newest exhibit, “Elemental Matters: Artists Imagine Chemistry.” Michael alan GoldberG 1-8pm. Free. Chemical Heritage Foundation, 315 Chestnut St. 215.925.2222. chemheritage.org

Music

Cheap Girls Upstart trio Cheap Girls—three dudes from Lansing, Mich.—make a scruffy and mostly chummy bar-band/power-pop ruckus that’s reminiscent of Buffalo Tom, early Soul Asylum, maybe even Uncle Tupelo. Without all the distortion, you can easily imagine some of their tunes being (almost) mainstream country hits, what with the appealingly earthy melodies and if-it-wasn’t-for-bad-luck-I’d-have-no-luckat-all sentiments. But fuck that—the distortion makes it way more fun, and no band ever went wrong adding a few layers of J. Mascis-style guitar terrorism and going the no-fi production route. OK, a few bands have, but not Cheap Girls, who we expect to provide some rowdy thrills tonight. M.a.G. 7:30pm. $8-$10. With Bomb the Music Industry!, Slingshot Dakota + Spraynard.

Gay Pride Day Floatilla

Ice Cream Festival

When Greg Crance’s 15-year-old son asked him why he was “made” gay, Crance assured him that’s how he was supposed to be and that he should be proud.

Crance, owner and operator of Delaware River Tubing, thought the best way to raise tolerance, awareness and community support was to throw an all-out gay pride extravaganza. Arrive at 9 a.m. to receive an inner tube and get dropped off at the starting point. After a leisurely cruise, floaters will dock at an island in the middle of the river, where they will enjoy a free lunch by the “Famous River Hot Dog Man.” While on the island, a small panel of judges will critique tubers’ loud, proud and creative swimwear. Whoever wins the competition will choose which LGBT awareness group Delaware River Tubing donates a percentage of its proceeds to.

Take a trip beyond city limits this patriotic holiday weekend, and celebrate an event that promotes liberty and justice for all.

Chinatown Block Party

For a minute there, people were getting worried that Marsha Ambrosius wouldn’t get her moment in the spotlight. After the harmonious half of the Brit neo-soul duo Floetry cut her ties with spoken-word partner Natalie Stewart, she signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment label in the mid-aughts.

But instead of getting an immediate album from her, fans were pacified with a series of mixtapes, a couple of them good enough to have been an acceptable, full-length release (especially Yours Truly). Thankfully, she moved over to J Records and released her debut, Late Nights & Early Mornings, earlier this year to rave reviews and successful record sales. But while we’re happy for Ambrosius, we kinda have a bone to pick with her. The first big number on Nights, the quiet-storm baby maker “With You” (written by her with Alicia Keys) sounds a bit like Me’Shell NdegeOcello’s “Trust.” (Ambrosius is aware of the song, adding her own vocals on it on one of her mixtapes.) We know good artists borrow and great artists steal and all that, but couldn’t Marsha have given ol’ girl a songwriting credit? craiG d. Lindsey 7:30pm. With R. Kelly + Keyshia Cole. $39.50-$99.50.

This American Life contributor and monologist James Braly knows how to command a room. His new project, Life in a Marital Institution (20 Years of Monogamy in One Terrifying Hour) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a cynical one man show reminiscent of NPR story program The Moth this one man show chronicles Braly’s dark take on such subjects as love, family, and marriage, with a few anecdotes about dinner parties thrown in. Taking place largely in a hospice at the bedside of his dying sister, Braly’s humor is often in bad taste and more often gut wrenchingly spot on funny. By all acounts and critical acclaim, Braly is the next Jon Stewart, just swap Geroge W. Bush jokes for jokes at your family’s expense. e.e.

Vixens and Vagabonds ure, there’ll be fireworks as part of Wawa’s Welcome America festivities, but for a truly adult take on independence, turn to Philadelphia’s Liberty City Kings Drag & Burlesque. “Red, White & Oooh!” is the theme of the troupe’s latest cabaret, which just so happens to take place over the holiday weekend. The hosts promise an evening of smart, sexy fun, from their own genderbending antics to the vocal styling of guest artist Sabrina Chap, a talented playwright and editor who also tickles the ivories. “I’ve been fucked upside down and sideways / On turnpikes at Jersey Highways,” the dynamic vocalist belts on one number. Between acts, the Notorious OMG will keep things moving with his mixture of haute couture and low comedy. Audience members inspired by the onstage talent are encouraged to give the tasseltwirling contest a whirl. Proceeds benefit the Phreak N’ Queer Arts Fest; scenesters dressed in drag or bedecked in fetish gear get a discount at the door. rayMond siMon

The mystery of Asia has always been enticing—filling our imaginations with fire-breathing mythical dragons, ass-kicking kung fu masters and traditions as ancient as the majestic scenery. Yet we can sometimes forget that the intrigue of the Orient is right in our own backyard. Celebrate the ethnic eclecticism that sculpts America’s cultural landscape by heading to Philly’s little Eastern jewel: Chinatown. The Block Party is a celebration of Philadelphia’s vibrant Asian community and offers up delicious dim sum and other food from Chinatown restaurants, including a traditional nine-course Chinese banquet. The main stage will feature a slew of performances, including opera, Chinese folk dancing, traditional Chinese music, a puppet show and the amazing “Changing Faces” traditional dance in which the dancer seems to magically change faces with the swipe of a silk robe. On the street level, enjoy the colorful lion dance, play some ping-pong and badminton or be a spectator at a Mahjong tournament. Jessica HerrinG

Five hours of eating all the ice cream you want AND it’s for a good cause? Yep. Just $7 get you as many scoops of Ben & Jerry’s, Haagen-Dazs, Good Humor and Turkey Hill as you can handle. Penn’s Landing plays host to the 13th annual Let’s Lick Leukemia ice cream fest to benefit the Joshua Kahan fund to fight pediatric leukemia and the oncology unit of CHOP. Past years have raised more than $900,000. Stop by more than once during the three-day event and help reach the fund’s goal of hitting the million-dollar mark this year. Walking home to burn off calories highly recommended. Brenda HiLLeGas

along to Michael McDonald songs makes you wanna jump off the Comcast Center, then this concert might just save your life. Justin Champlin, the half man/half lepus who founded San Francisco garage-punk squad Nobunny, always wears a bunny mask, oftentimes accessorizes it with only pink panties, and sometimes brings firecrackers and raw meat on stage. You can’t get any freer than that. Also on stage are Indiana-based doomwavers TV Ghost, Dead Milkmen co-founder and prankster Joe Jack Talcum ripping a solo set, and a juicy punk trio called the Pussy Dogs. A pre-concert BBQ starts at 11 a.m., so bring some mustard and a doobie, brother!

food & drink You’re Quite The Dish

Stuffed Veal Chop at Gia in Wildwood

By Cristina Perachio

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

I’m a family recipe, a staple, older than this establishment. Stuffed Steak and I were born at Chiarella’s in Wildwood, and had a good run there for 38 years before owner and chef Vincent Chiarella opened Gia with his wife, Beth, and daughter and chef, Mia, in 2006.

Do you hail from a specific part of Italy?

I’m Italian-American. More of an American-influenced dish with Italian ingredients and technique, capiche?

What’re you made of?

I’m a 16-ounce veal chop butterflied and stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto, grilled until lightly charred and finished in the oven for four to five minutes as per the recommended medium-rare temp. My sauce is prepared by sautéing garlic, butter and mushrooms until the garlic turns a nice golden-brown. Then add a Marsala wine glaze, a ladle of beef stock, peppercorn and me before bringing to a boil and rouxing (thickening the sauce). Almost done: Top me with more mozz and prosciutto, sauce to melt the cheese and finish with a long hot for some heat.

I’m stuffed just listening to you.

Any secrets to your success?

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 29 - July 5, 2011

I know Mia would say it’s all in the butterfly. I have to be cut exactly in the center or I’ll cook unevenly. When she first started cooking with her dad, Mia had her fair share of lopsided attempts, but now she’s a pro.

How about a wine suggestion since Gia is a BYO. Definitely a pinot noir—keep the wine lighter on a heavy meal so you can leave room for the Chocolate Ganache.

What do your fans have to say?

How much time do you have? Not for nothin’, but they just can’t believe how tender I am. “Cuts like butter!” they say.

And they’re always asking about my sauce. Consider yourself lucky I let you in on that recipe. You can keep quiet, right? n

Money Farm

nalized the lessons of seasonal, local eating, means he applies the farm-to-table ethos lightly. Like a classically trained pianist, his riffs are always rooted in great technique and rock-solid ideas at this elegant, tailored space.

Like so many other spots around town (or, for that matter, around the country), seasonality and freshness are the buzzwords here. But there’s no preachiness on the Farm, no listing of every ingredient’s pedigree to muddle up the menu, no overly baroque description of each dish to throw otherwise straightBy Brian Freedman forward (and utterly beautiful) food into a tailspin of confubfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com sion. Instead, Lawler’s menu follows what has become a fairly standard listing system: Main ingredient, followed by three or four comma-separated components. It’s as elegant as his food, as relaxed as the dining room Lawler’s wife Colleen runs.

Lawler’s dishes are straightforward, his focus always on the ingredients. The menu is stuffed with the familiar, but there are plenty of surprises to be found.

Chilled carrot soup, for example, is listed with chocolate mint, local ginger and buttermilk—the latter a gently gelatinized panna cotta-like mound around which the high-toned soup was poured. It provided heft to an otherwise well-executed classic, smoothing the edges of the local ginger and highlighting the chocolate mint syrup in it.

Bloody beet steak has turned into one of Lawler’s most popular creations, a vegetable’s perfect mimicking of rare beef in both color and texture. The center of the smoky root practically bleeds out when cut into, and stains its accompanying homemade yogurt like a candy cane. Beautiful, and far better than any seitan meat-fakery that vegans and vegetarians too often have to resort to. (It is shown a bit of meat-stock love, but vegetarians can request it without.)

That beet steak is a handy example of Lawler’s philosophy, which is restrained, and anchored in solid, supremely wellhoned technique. Confident but never flashy. Farmer’s cheese spaetzle, for example, is what I imagine kids in some mythic Gimme a beet: The bloody beet steak is one of Chef Lawler’s most popular creations.

golf magazine. The magazine is minutes away from going to press and the writers are in a collective frenzy. None is more harried than the easily flappable Carter (Pete Pryor), who pulls his hair out and slams his keyboard with mounting fury.

What most of the characters want even more than to make deadline is to hold on to their jobs—not life or death but certainly something that nearly everyone in the audience can relate to. They also want one another’s bodies, a goal that often takes precedence over their occupational concerns.

Director Steve Umberger’s cast is first rate, but the talent isn’t enough to overcome David Wiltse’s tedious first act. The endless parade of golf jokes are about as successful as Tiger Wood’s marriage. Wiltse’s dialogue is dominated by words with sexual connotations, which the cast dutifully delivers with the proper sense of leering and innuendo.

“There’s no satisfaction when things are premature,” the editor Sam (an enticing Mary Elizabeth Scallen) suggests with menacing allure.

Thankfully, Hatchetman’s second act is a considerable improvement. The magazine has gone to press and the staff can focus

all their time and energy on the pursuit of romance (“the beauty of working for a monthly magazine is that nothing gets accomplished for the first three weeks” Carter happily informs us). The prime object of the men’s pursuit is Temple (Mary McCool) a woman noted for her “youth and tarnished good looks.” The shallowly drawn character isn’t worthy of McCool’s considerable talents but she has fun with it, performing Temple as an ambitious sex kitten whose job-advancement strategy consists of bending over and seductively wiggling her butt at every male within eyeshot (the short, skin-tight skirts provided by costume designer Marla J. Jurglanis enhance the effect considerably).

The production hits its stride in the play’s final 30 manic minutes as the cast members display their adeptness at physical comedy.

Performing at an accelerated pace, actors hurtle themselves through doorways, fly over desks and dance on swiveling chairs (the office furniture and doors in James F. Pyne’s set get a workout). In the most memorable bits of comic business, Andrew Kane (who this season established himself as one of Philly’s top actors and portrays the nerdy columnist Johnson) attempts to pick a pen off the floor with a golf club down his pants (not something to try at home) while Julia Stroup (who plays the verbally and visually challenged writer Jane) wanders blindly through the hallways with a wastepaper basket clumsily attached to her foot.

The lone figure of calm amidst the mounting chaos is Otis (the wily veteran actor Tom Teti). A constant presence in the office, Otis inherited the publication from his father.

Always in search of the right word to express his sentiments, Teti portrays Otis as a suave if slightly befuddled elderly gentleman incapable of finding his way around either the office or a sentence. Looking resplendent in an array of pastel-colored sport coats and bow ties (Jurglanis’ costumes are one of the production’s most entertaining elements), Teti’s charming performance brings a welcome air of tranquility to the otherwise chaotic proceedings.

In an area with an abundance of great actors, Hatchetman joins the list of mediocre plays transformed into seeming masterpieces by an exceptional ensemble. Hatchetman isn’t going to be mistaken for Shakespeare (though its conclusion is reminiscent of several Shakespearean comedies), but under Umberger’s capable direction, a terrific cast makes Wiltse’s middling farce far more enjoyable than it would otherwise be. n

This cheap hijacking of the Apollo mission stings even more thanks to the participation of Buzz Aldrin, playing himself. It is as embarrassed as I have ever been for anybody since Aldrin got kicked off Dancing With the Stars last year. No wonder Neil Armstrong doesn’t do public appearances! Sir, you once walked on the moon. Now how about sharing a dialogue scene with Optimus Prime? (“Greetings, fellow space traveler.” There are no more heroes.)

But for reasons that remain mysterious to me, Transformers rests on the plight of Shia LeBeouf’s Sam Witwicky.

Six Dark Portrayals of Newspapers

Bad Teacher

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

With her cartoonishly long legs slung over the desk and that Joker smile stretched into a grimace, Cameron Diaz attempts to ape Billy Bob Thornton’s iconic Bad Santa performance as a horrific junior high school teacher with a desk-drawer full of weed and whiskey bottles.

Citizen Kane (1941): Not only were

the 1930s and ’40s an exciting time for newspapers, they were an exciting time for newspaper movies. Hollywood loved cranking out pictures about macho, motormouthed journos and editors. A notable exception is The Greatest Film of All Time. The rotten, tragic figure at the center of Orson Welles’ debut is no less than a newspaper publisher who repeatedly abuses his position—a character so transparently inspired by William Randolph Hearst that Hearst wouldn’t allow mention of the film in his papers.

Park Row (1952): Samuel Fuller was

a newspaper copyboy at 12 and a crime reporter at 17; unlike Wilder, he believed that journalists could be noble, even if they frequently weren’t. Gene Evans, the cigar-chomping lead of his fifth film as director, is so principled he forms his own paper in 1880s New York, only to run into trouble with a bigger, venal competitor.

State of Play (2009): Made while newspapers across the country were folding, this condensation of the excellent 2003 British miniseries stresses the importance of newspapers, complete with editor Russell Crowe schooling blogger/new media gamine Rachel McAdams.

What’s missing is the desperation, and also the wit.

Directed by Jake Kasdan (son of Raiders of the Lost Ark screenwriter Lawrence, and an obviously talented young man who helmed a handful of Freaks and Geeks epsiodes,) Bad Teacher puts Diaz front and center as an unapologetically shallow gold-digger biding her time at John Adams Middle School. (JAMS, for short.) Saving up for a boob job because she hopes to “compete with all these fucking Barbie dolls” for the sugar daddy of her dreams, Diaz’s cheerfully loathsome Elizabeth Halsey embezzles from the kids’ car wash fund, and generally coasts through school in a hungover stupor.

She’s got little time for her students and even less time for social niceties.

A fun character, but what’s next? The screenplay, penned by Office writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, doesn’t quite know what to do with her, sending Diaz fumbling all over Justin Timberlake’s do-gooder old-money newcomer, while Jason Segel’s all-knowing horndog gym teacher hangs in the background offering ad-libbed one liners that feel like they’re being beamed in from a much wittier movie.

Half-realized at best, Kasdan’s direction fumbles through a semester’s worth of blackout sketches with all the technical acuity of a Kevin Smith picture. It is a deeply shoddy looking effort, riddled with blank-wall backgrounds and weirdly short on extras. (Shouldn’t a middle school be full of kids?)

As she does in most roles, Diaz throws herself into Bad Teacher as if her life and career depended on it, but not necessarily in that order. She works overtime playing to the back rows, backing up similarly oversized performances by Timberlake, and the unfortunate British actress Lucy Punch, trying on a Sarah Palin accent as an over-achieving do-gooder a bit too tightly wound for comfort.

Despite a game cast, Bad Teacher tries too hard, and seems too inanely pleased with its own not-very dirty jokes. Backing into sentimentality, there’s nothing dangerous or transgressive going on here. Waiting For Superman had more laughs. n

Ace in the Hole (1951): By the ’50s,

it was time for the classic image of the noble reporter to be flipped on its head.

And the man to do that was Billy Wilder.

In his sourest film, which is saying something, Kirk Douglas plays a desperate, amoral reporter who boasts, “I can do big news, small news and if there’s no news I’ll go out and bite a dog.” He’s not kidding: He winds up exploiting a man trapped in a cave-in, dragging the story out until lives are destroyed.

strung with fishing line. His style is an amalgamation of his Saharoui roots and the influences that have come from all over West Africa and some elements of Western Music like Hendrix and the blues.

Does the band do anything differently when they play for a western audience? From what I understand, they don’t play at rock clubs when they’re at home.

They will be playing a mix of styles on this tour. On previous European tours, they’ve played different sets on a nightly basis. They will certainly play a lot of material from the last two albums and mix in some traditional stuff as well.

And how have they been received in Europe?

The shows and European crowds have been amazing!

It’s some of the wildest music you’ll ever hear. Twisted, highenergy fretboard heroics on top of pounding, frenetic, circular rhythms. An intense mix of howling, hand-clapping, and an ocassional swirl of what can only be junkstore keyboards.

Some tunes are intense and meditative drones. Others are outright ecstatic celebrations. You might be excused if you mistake it for a late-night jam session involving Jimi Hendrix, Afrika 70, the guy who played keys in the Arkestra, and maybe those two drummers from the Butthole Surfers.

The truth is that the guy behind the music is a stoic man who wears a moustache and (when not wearing dark aviator glasses) has a stare that seems to go on for miles. In photos, he often wears flowing robes and holds his guitar the way a probing soldier carries a rifle. And why shouldn’t he? He comes from the damn Sahara Desert. His name is Salmou Baamar and he goes by the name Doueh. He’s been the guitarist and leader of Group Doueh for 27 years.

At home in the Western Sahara, Group Doueh typically perform at weddings, festivals and parties. They’re something of a party band, playing late into the night for dancers and revelers.

The way the story goes, world-traveler and obsessive music fan Hisham Mayet discovered Group Doueh in 2005. He had gotten his hands on a cassette of an AM radio broadcast and, taken by the raw and unique sounds, searched for the musicians along the coast of West Africa for a month before arriving at Doueh’s front door. Doueh and wife Halima have said they felt “bewildered” by Mayet’s “passion and tenacity for the music.” Mayet then introduced Doueh’s music to the rest of the world via Sublime Frequencies, a record label he operates with Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls.

In May, Group Doueh released their fourth album, Zayna Jumma, and completed their second tour of Europe. By the time this issue is published, they will have begun their first visit to the United States. It’s a tour that includes performances at art museums, cultural centers and jazz festivals.

In Philadelphia, they’ll be playing at Johnny Brendas.

Mayet was able to answer a few questions on Doueh’s behalf.

Tell me a little bit about Doueh’s guitar style.

I assume he’s self-taught.

He is self-taught. His first guitar was a wooden plank

There’s a lot of singing and chanting in the music.

Any insights into what they’re saying?

A lot of it is the sung poetry of their Hassania heritage. Some of the more western sounding tracks are pop tracks that deal with the usual themes of pop and rock music ... love, loss, not fitting in ... also anthems to their culture and the nomadic lifestyle they have left behind.

You recorded the two most recent Group Doueh albums, presumably using more “professional” techniques than the group’s earlier recordings.

Was it a challenge to balance a cleaner sound with the group’s raw sound?

It’s not really a challenge because I record with basic gear and try not to do too much. Most of it is mic placement and getting good performance out of the group. I love a room sound or a live sound and a lot of the recordings I’ve made over the years have a recognizable approach because I’m always looking for a particular location sound. I’ve recorded the group now on their turf for five years and understand their sound as much as anyone. It gets easier as time rolls on.

They perform like people possessed. Is there a religious element (or even message) to the music?

Some of the songs come from a religious canon, similar to the way that gospel music is performed. A lot of their traditional material comes from a strict modal system that is rooted in Islamic scales and words coming from that sung Islamic poetry.

I hear elements of Jimi Hendrix and James Brown. Is it possible that American rock and funk made it to the Sahara Desert?

Doueh has publicly stated that he loves the music of both of those icons. As a youth, a lot of cassettes were being imported by the Spanish to the [Western Sahara] area.

Anything else you’d like to tell us?

This is Group Doueh’s first U.S. tour and it took a lot of work to get them over here. People should come out and have a good fucking time! n Group Doueh perform Sat., July 3, 8pm. $15. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. 215.739.9684. johnnybrendas.com

It’s a long climb to the top of this mountain made of self-help audio books put to a beat. Along the way you’ll find Ashlee Simpson, her corpse buried under a landslide. Trampling over her is Lady Gaga, telling each of her monsters the wild fame she’s achieved is possible for them all, they just have to dream. Nicki Minaj is here—her debut Pink Friday is packed with so many “Girl Power” tropes it’s a surprise the Spice Girls haven’t sued for copyright infringement. Around the bend, Christina Aguilera belting a not-so-subtle reminder: “You are beautiful, no matter what they say. You are beautiful in every single way.

Words can’t bring you down.” Oh, hi Beyoncé. Who runs the world? Girls!

But at the Top of the Heap, the Queen of this Hill, you’ll find pugnacious Perry. She’s friggin’ Tony Robbins in a hot girl costume, Deepak Chopra with glorious cans.

Baby, you’re a firework.

Last Friday night, Perry strutted confidently onto a stage dressed like a Candy Land board game come to life, battery powered peppermints spinning over her boobs, to wow a capacity Wells Fargo Center crowd. She played hit after hit

after hit after hit after hit. Tons of them, one after the other, for nearly two hours. She opened with “Teenage Dream,” for chrissakes! (First line: “You think I’m pretty without any makeup on.” Cha-ching.)

And it was terrible.

No, it was amazing.

Amazingly terrible? Terribly amazing?

It’s Katy Perry. There is no middle ground here, no squishy center, no can we all get along? Not surprising in modern America, where everything, it seems, is split 50/50 between “OMG! BEST! EVER!” and “WTF! FAIL!!”

Whether you think she should be crowned Pop Princess Supreme or beheaded for Crimes of Crass Commercialization depends on your tolerance for unblinking cheese, unwavering goofball and unapologetic camp.

In the midst of a crowd of 14,000 people—“This is the largest audience I’ve ever played for in America,” she told us before offering a sincere thanks—with an impeccably high tolerance, you had no choice but to believe the former.

Come on, let your colors burst.

“Since the age of 9, all I’ve wanted to do is share my perspective and hopefully help people through my music,” Perry’s quoted as saying in the cover story of the current issue of Rolling Stone, going on to say she wants to write songs that become “someone’s mantra for life,” their “motto” or “whatever.”

Incidentally, the two 9-year-old girls sitting next to me Friday sang along enthusiastically to the chorus of Perry’s song about her perspective on exotic birds.

I wanna see your peacock cock cock, your peacock cock. n

By Bill Chenevert

Givers

In Light (Glassnote) Sounds Like: Louisiana quintet’s debut

of dancey Afro-beat inspired quirk pop uses samples, lots of percussion, synths and dueling boy/girl vocals to great effect.

Free Association: Wish more bands did stuff like this.

For Fans Of: Vampire Weekend, Mates of State, joyous noise.

The Coathangers

Larceny & Old Lace (Suicide Squeeze) Sounds Like: A nutso all-girl quartet

who rotate responsibilities and write everything together, specialize in amateur girl punk with tons of screamy energy.

Free Association: They’ll kick your ass while wearing vintage dresses, boots and sunglasses.

For Fans Of: The Slits x Vivian Girls, Beat Happening, tattoos and attitude.

Daniel Isaiah

High Twilight (Secret City) Sounds Like: Ethereal and gentle

(read: sleepy) debut of a Montreal singersongwriter and filmmaker, who probably loved Leonard Cohen but doesn’t sing that well.

Free Association: Doesn’t sound so bad on paper; 20 minutes later you’ll want to kill.

For Fans Of: Femme Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Lou Reed boner sword fight.

The Japanese Popstars

Controlling Your Allegiance (Astralwerks/Gung Ho) Sounds Like: To their credit, they’re

supposed to put on a killer show, but this trio of Irish white boys make pretty annoying big-beat electro house like it’s the ’90s.

Free Association: They must do a lot more ecstasy over there, or go to legit raves.

For Fans Of: Prodigy x Orbital, Groove Armada, Trainspotting, clubbing until 5 a.m.

The Dear Hunter

Mr. Lif here are many indie MCs who prefer to stay on the fringes of the music industry. But there are those who are so out T there, you feel like throwing them a lifeline just to keep them within view. These days, Mr. Lif appears to be in that so-far-away camp. In the early aughts, the dreadlocked Boston-turned Philly lyricist was one of the shining stars of East Coast indie-rap label Def Jux, turning out the acclaimed, conceptual, fulllength efforts I Phantom (2002) and Mo’ Mega (2006). Apart from the 2009 album I Saw It Today, released on his own Bloodbot Tactical Enterprises label, ol’ dude has kind of pulled a bit of a disappearing act. No more! He recently did guest work on the latest Thievery Corporation album, and a few weeks ago, he performed at a benefit show in Boston for fellow Beantown rapper Afrobatik, who’s recuperating from open-heart surgery. Mr. Lif may like living on the outskirts, but he’s never far from reach. And now he’s back. Best to catch him before he spins out of this orbit. (Craig D. Lindsey) Fri., July 1, 8pm. $16-$18. With Swift Technique + Citizen Xavier. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St. 215.291.4919. kungfunecktie.com

The Color Spectrum (Triple Crown) Sounds Like: Providence rockers’ fourth is a break from their inane Act

cycle, here pairing songs up with colors, and it kinda works on this mediocre proggy space rock LP. Free Association: Get it through your skulls: We don’t have the attention span for this.

For Fans Of: Deerhunter, Deerhoof, the Dears, Dear Abby.

Centro-Matic

Candidate Waltz (Undertow Music) Sounds Like: Countrified indie rockers

•

from Denton, Texas, who’ve been absent for a spell (so Will Johnson could play with Monsters of Folk) but come back strong here.

Free Association: Careful, that voice gets a lil’ Scott Stappy, but otherwise you’re good.

For Fans Of: Drive-by Truckers x David Bazan, My Morning Jacket, beardo blues.

SavageLove

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net

In response to a wannabe fister who hadn’t told his girlfriend about his kink, you wrote, “At three years, all your kink cards should be lying faceup on the table.” Really? Then my husband and I screwed up. We’ve been married for 19 years, and he told me only five years ago that he wanted to be spanked.

Less than two years ago, he mentioned that he had been to a dominatrix before we met.

I thought we had talked about everything when it came to sex and fantasies. I was wrong.

While I have your attention: I’m having a problem with the spanking. It just isn’t my thing. I told my husband he could go to a dominatrix if that would satisfy his needs.

He agreed to go if I watched the session. I’m not sure I can do that, either. Well, guess what? We can’t even find one in our part of the country. I hate to think we need to plan a special trip outside to visit a dominatrix (“outside” means Lower 48 in Alaska slang).

I can’t imagine scheduling something like that when we’re on vacation visiting kids, family and friends. Any suggestions?

One of these things is having his dick hit my cervix when we’re fucking: He loves it because it hurts, but it freaks me out because I’ve heard stories of women having their cervixes ruptured during sex.

He assures me that won’t happen, but on at least two occasions I’ve bled so much that I thought my period had started. Am I right to be freaked for my cervix or is this OK? Freaked By Bloody Sex

“Worrisome cervical damage, including cervical rupture during sexual intercourse between two healthy adults, is extremely unlikely,” said Nassim Assefi, an internist specializing in women’s health—as well as a writer, activist and humanitarian aid worker. (Learn more about her

I’m a 28-year-old gay man, living with my partner for two years. I’ve always been open about wanting to be tied up, spanked, maybe trussed up in leather bondage gear. He’s always been open about his reluctance to indulge me, saying he needs time to get used to it. I’m inclined to believe him, because it took him quite a while to get to the point of just being willing to strap me to the bed and jerk me. I’d like to explore some other aspects of my fetishes. He says we will but thinking about me in kinky gear makes him anxious.

We had a bit of an argument about this, and I’ve agreed to drop the subject of my kinks while we’re on vacation.

You didn’t screw up, NIS, your husband did— he’s the one who didn’t lay down his kink cards.

I find this bit absolutely astounding: You gave your husband permission to see a professional dominatrix—a permission slip that countless submissive married men would be thrilled to have—and he responded by placing conditions on you? His desire to include you is a good sign (he’s just that into you), but he’s either an ingrate or a bossy, passive-aggressive, domineering douchesub for responding like that. You’re in a better position to judge which one he is. adult services My advice: Stand your ground. He has your blessing to go get his spank on—on his own. The #1! ALL NEW! $150 SPECIAL B O R ED?

“Some caveats: This assumes no piercings of the penis (no spiky jewelry hitting the cervix), and this does not include rape of young girls, largeanimal penis penetration of women, and use of foreign bodies (dildos and other objects much larger than human penises).”

Assefi adds that it’s not uncommon to have a little cervical bleeding after vigorous vaginal intercourse, FBBS, and I’ll add that a little bleeding—on occasion (birthdays, holidays, anniversaries)—can be normal after anal, too.

“However, bleeding—especially heavy bleeding like a period—may be a sign of a cervix made fragile by STIs, benign growths (polyps), precancerous conditions or cancer, not to mention bleeding disorders. It’s worth getting a pelvic exam and talking to a health provider about the bleeding if you’re worried or the bleeding is heavy.”

Assefi sums it up: “Bonk the cervix if you and your partner get off on it. Just make sure you’re bonking a healthy cervix.”
