PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM @PHILLYWEEKLY Former Philly deputy police commissioner Joseph P. Sullivan believes that law enforcement has to be open to the introduction of new strategies intended to reduce the number of negative encounters between citizens and the police, but also believes there should be a review period to see if the city’s new plan for car stops is working.

DEFANGING THE POLICE Curbing car stops is a bad move

E

arlier this month, Mayor Kenney ordered the police to stop making car stops for minor traffic violations.

“Today, I signed an executive order to implement the legislation outlined in the Driving Equality bills, introduced by councilmember Isaiah Thomas,” the mayor stated in a tweet. “This legislation establishes Philadelphia as the first large U.S. city to ban minor traffic stops with the goal of healing police-community relations.”

His order came after City Council voted 14-2 on Oct. 14 to pass the “Driving Equality Bill,” as well as a companion bill that mandates the city create a public traffic stop database.

Councilman Isaiah Thomas, the author of the bills, stated, “These bills end the traffic stops that promote discrimination while keeping the traffic stops that promote public safety. This approach seeks to redirect police time and resources towards keeping Philadelphians safe while removing negative interactions that widen the divide and perpetuate mistrust.”

Thomas noted that the bill allows the police to still issue citations, which are then mailed to drivers.

I reached out to Joseph P. Sullivan, who served as the Philadelphia Deputy Police Commissioner for Patrol Operations from 2017 to 2020, and asked him for his take on this.

noring these important violations.”

Sullivan explained that unregistered cars are likely also uninsured, and vehicles not properly inspected can have dangerous defects like worn brakes that the owner may not even be aware of.

“There are already limitations on the city’s live stop program due to a recent court decision whereby drivers operating with no license or a suspended license, expired or no registration sometimes no longer have their vehicles impounded. Instead, the vehicles are often left at the scene and booted by PPA until the owner comes into compliance,” Sullivan said. “It is important that there be a robust public information campaign for drivers and training curriculum for officers in advance of the initiation of the amended enforcement strategy as there is a great deal of confusion on both sides, and frankly it sends a mixed message to the public and the police at a time when we are struggling to develop an effective strategy to deal with the unlawful ATVs and street racers.”

In my view, stopping car stops, like stopping stop and frisk, defangs the police in their effort to take illegal guns and criminals off the streets of Philadelphia.

Ultimately, Philadelphia citizens will suffer from a higher murder rate and even more crime and gun violence.

Available for pre-sale and just in time for the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving, Bird of Courage, a roasted turkey flavored whiskey, will join The House of Tamworth lineup of rare and evocative limited-release spirits. This brand-new, tryptophan-free whiskey was birthed from a barrel of 5-year-old Bottled in Bond Whiskey (12% rye, 81% corn, 7% malt) and was steeped with a (mostly) historically accurate and quintessential New England Thanksgiving dinner.

TRUE TO THEIR BELIEFS The legendary Blind Boys of Alabama hit the stage Dec. 5 at Ardmore Music Hall

T

he Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. Celebrated by The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and winners of five Grammy Awards, they have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 70 years.

Now you can catch the group on stage when they appear at the Ardmore Music Hall on Dec. 5. Visit ardmoremusichall. com for more information.

The Blind Boys are known for crossing multiple musical boundaries with their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by songwriters such as Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits. They have appeared on recordings with many artists, including Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Aaron Neville, Susan Tedeschi, Ben Harper, Patty Griffin and Taj Mahal. The Blind Boys of Alabama have appeared on The Grammy Awards, “60 Minutes,” “The Colbert Report” and many other television shows.

Current tour members include singers Jimmy Carter, Ricky McKinnie, Ben Moore and the Rev. Julius Love, as well as music director/guitarist Joey Williams.

PW recently caught up with Carter to talk about the group’s legendary career.

The group has been together for more than 70 years.

How did it form? How did it come up with its name?

The Blind Boys formed in 1939 at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Deaf and Blind in Talladega, AL. We were originally called The Happy Land Jubilee Singers. In the ‘40s, a promoter booked us along with a gospel act from Mississippi who were known as the Jackson Harmoneers. They were also visually impaired, so the promoter advertised it as the “Battle of the Blind Boys.” After that, we changed our names to the Blind Boys of Alabama and Blind Boys of Mississippi.

Looking back on it all, what are some of the group’s highlights? Is there anything still on the band's “bucket list” that it wants to achieve?

We went to the White House three times, which was a great experience each time. We have also won five Grammys and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award which was amazing.

One of my goals for the Blind Boys of Alabama is to perform a two- to three-month residency in Las Vegas. I would love that and I know our fans would too!

Society’s musical tastes change over the years, yet the group stayed true to its gospel roots. Why do you think you’ve stayed so successful and popular over the decades?

We’ve always stayed true to our beliefs. Although we’ve collaborated with many secular artists, we’ve always stuck to our gospel roots because that’s how we started and God has blessed us.

No doubt the pandemic threw a wrench into your concert plans. How did the group spend its time off the road? How excited are you to be back on stages before live audiences?

I’m a sports addict, so I had a lot of time to listen to sports during the pandemic which was a highlight for me. We are all very glad to be back on the road again, and our fans seem to be glad too.

What are the best ways for your fans to stay current with what you’re doing?

Republicans gain in 2021 BY: KYLE SAMMIN

R

epublican candidates for city offices in Philadelphia could be forgiven for looking on their task as an exercise in futility. But there was more reason for hope than usual this year, with the Democrats’ least popular official, District Attorney Larry Krasner, at the top of the ticket.

Krasner, like Mayor Jim Kenney, has presided over a city that few can honestly say has improved under his leadership. As chief law enforcement officer in Philadelphia, Krasner faced reelection in a town that was demonstrably less safe and more crime-ridden than it was four years ago. Would that hurt his cause?

Not really, as it turns out. Krasner received 150,330 votes in 2017 º 74.70% of the total. This time, with turnout slightly increased, he got 154,505 votes, or 71.77% according to unofficial tallies from the city commissioners’ office.

That’s what skyrocketing murders and widespread rioting cost the DA: three percent of the vote. Maybe if the city burns to the ground he’ll get pushed down to only two-thirds of the vote next election.

But a more optimistic view of the situation is that as low as the Philly GOP is now, they are actually trending in the right direction.

Jim Kenney was elected in 2015 with 85.36% of the vote. By 2019, that total fell to 80.33% despite a lack of funding or serious campaigning by his opponent, Billy Ciancaglini. These are all still blowout numbers, but there is a slight improvement. Are people getting tired of Democrats generally, or just sick of these two clowns?

A look at the accompanying map tells us some of the story. As usual, almost the only areas Krasner’s Republican opponent, Charles Peruto, won are in the Northeast, South Philly, and Roxborough. But as this map shows, Peruto expanded the Republican map compared to how Ciancaglini performed two years earlier. While Kenney narrowly carried Northeast Philly as a whole, Krasner lost the region 63.79% to 35.97%.

The Northeast has long been the most Republican region of the city, but Democratic mayors Michael Nutter and Jim Kenney carried every ward in the city – including those in the Northeast – in 2007, 2011, and 2015. Kenney lost seven of them in 2019, and Krasner’s performance in office helped add two more to the Republican column. It’s hard to see against the background of the rest of the city being overwhelmingly Democratic year in and year out, but this is substantial progress.

In South Philly, Peruto again expanded on Ciancaglini’s margins, adding the 39th ward to the 26th in the Republican column. No Republican can look at the 2021 election results and say, “we were this close,” but the math tells the tale: the Republican Party in Philadelphia is slowly, gradually improving. Can they get from 28% to 51%? That’s the million-dollar question.

One to watch Fast-rising band Babygirl hits the TLA stage Nov. 21 BY: EUGENE ZENYATTA

F

ast-rising pop-rock band Babygirl will be coming to the Theatre of Living Arts on Nov. 21 in support of Jeremy Zucker and his nationwide tour.

Tickets and details for the show can be found at venue. tlaphilly.com.

Shortly ahead of the tour beginning, Babygirl released their new single “Born With A Broken Heart” on Oct. 29. Earlier this year, they released their EP “Losers Weepers” via

NOVEMBER 18 - 25, 2021 | PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY

Sandlot Records in partnership with AWAL Recordings, which arrived with their singles “Million Dollar Bed,” “Easy,” and “You Were In My Dream Last Night.” Solidifying them as one to watch, “Losers Weepers’” critically acclaimed tracks were featured on the likes of Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist, Apple’s New Music Daily, and major indie pop playlists. Accomplished songwriters who also co-produced Lauv’s “Canada ft. Alessia Cara,” Babygirl also recently teamed up with Spotify Canada to be featured as one of their RADAR Canada artists, appearing on billboards in Times Square.

PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM @PHILLYWEEKLY Babygirl received immediate love from Spotify for their first-ever single “Overbored” and, with the release of their sophomore 2018 EP “Lovers Fevers” and standout single “Soft,” caught the attention of Grammy-nominated powerhouse J Kash [Katy Perry, Charlie Puth] who signed them to Sandlot Records in global partnership with AWAL Recordings.

Sharing admiration for Alvvays, blink-182, JohnMayer, Death Cab For Cutie, and Taylor Swift, Babygirl is made up of Kiki Frances, who also counts Avril Lavigne, KellyClarkson, and Hilary Duff as some of her formative influences, and Cameron “Bright” Breithaupt, who grew up surrounded by music as the child of two full-time professional musicians.

PW recently caught up with Babygirl to talk about their upcoming show and new music.

Let’s go back to the beginning. How did you become interested in making music?

Who were some of your earliest musical influences?

Kiki: I’ve loved singing and performing since I was a little kid, and I started writing my own songs around 9 or 10. I don’t know what drew me to it, I was just fascinated by music in general and knew that I wanted to make it myself. It was basically the only thing I was interested in other than hanging out with my friends. As for early music influences, Avril Lavigne was huge for me and I love Shania Twain. My mom played The Dixie Chicks and Norah Jones around the house.

My dad played Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. I listened to the radio a lot too.

Cameron: Having grown up in a house with two musicians as my parents, it always just seemed like the obvious thing to do. We would sit around the dinner table and my mom would teach us four-part harmonies and my dad would make mixtapes to open up my ears. My grandparents on both sides were musical as well. It’s just kind of the atmosphere of the environment, like, making music is just a normal thing to do every day. So, by the time I was about 9, when I got my first acoustic guitar, I was completely obsessed. Musical influences from that time sort of fall into two general categories: whatever was playing on The Much Music Countdown, and whatever my parents were exposing me to. So, it was like the Max Martin songbook, 50 Cent, Canadian pop-punk bands, but also like Steely Dan, Ricki Lee Jones, and jazz standards.

How did you two get together to form Babygirl, and how did you come up with the name?

Cameron: We met at Humber College, where we were both vocal majors in the music program, and we bonded over our shared love of pop music. It was a pretty jazz-focused curriculum, so to find someone else who had a serious reverence for *NSYNC was awesome.

At first, we were just writing straight up pop songs for pitching to other artists. But when you really want to be the performing artist, you can only deny it for so long.

Kiki: Basically, when I was young, probably

MUSIC around 9, I started a “band” with a couple of my friends. It was really just me writing songs and asking them to play as my backup singers.

That band was called Babygirl. So, when I told Cam that story, he was like “Oh, that’s actually a great band name. Let’s do that.”

Can you talk a little about your creative process? What inspires you to write?

Cameron: Our creative process is very patient. We brainstorm a lot, and only follow the ideas that really raise their hands as special in some way. Then it tends to be a couple months of writing revisions to even get to the point where we are doing the final recording sessions. Our inspiration can come from anywhere: personal experience, a billboard, an overheard conversation, or, maybe most often, other songs.

Kiki: Production-wise, sometimes we’ll record all the vocals, live with them for a couple months, change a word or two, and do a full re-recording. Sometimes we’ll produce a song twice over completely, learning from the mistakes of the first try. There’s a lot of revision!

Your EP “Losers Weepers” came out earlier this year, and your single “Born With a Broken Heart” dropped Oct. 29. Talk a little about how each of these projects came together.

Cameron: “Losers Weepers” was a unique experience for us. It came together more collaboratively than anything else we’ve ever done. We worked with outside writers and producers on half of the songs – people who have written on hit songs, people who are co-writers on some of our favorite artists’ music, and close friends from home. I feel like it brought a different melodic attitude to the project than our previous work.

Kiki: “Born With a Broken Heart,” on the other hand, was a super-isolated process. We started writing it alone on a small island in Georgian Bay, Ontario. We finished it during lockdown in the middle of the winter in a little converted garage studio near Trinity Bellwoods in Toronto. It feels like that loneliness is really reflected in the sound of the music.

After the pandemic shut down live concerts, how does it feel to be back on stage?

What will your fans see when they show up at TLA on Nov. 21?

Cameron: It’s been a completely surreal experience. We went from two years off stage, to doing our biggest shows ever, every night.

It’s an adrenaline overload. Jeremy Zucker’s fans are super engaged and sweet, and we’re very grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of this tour.

Kiki: As for what they’ll see, our live band for this tour is a three-piece – it’s the two of us, plus Cam’s brother Miles on drums. TLA will be our ninth show of the tour, so we’re hopefully gonna be really in the rhythm of the set at that point – and we might add in something new.

What are the best ways for your fans to stay current with what you’re doing?

Given that it is a rare occurrence for donor/ recipient relations to be devoid of strings attached, non-profits tend to be influenced by and reactive to their contributors. This is unlike entrepreneurs who must be responsive to the desires of constituents and consumers to ensure satisfaction and value creation.

The obsession with having a social impact that local universities push onto students misses the vital social impact already accomplished by the for-profit realm.

Financial performance improves opportunities and funding streams for addressing social matters, not the reverse.

Along these lines, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) construct of Professor Archie B. Carroll, an internationally known scholar on this topic, holds that CSR is composed of economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities.

“The economic performance of businesses

is foundational to all the rest. Companies are required to be economically sustainable and thus profit-making is the building block upon which the other responsibilities rest,” Carroll said. “What can have more social impact than for businesses to provide the goods and services, along with jobs, that society needs?”

So, rather than having students focus on society’s ills, let’s empower them to determine their own means for personal progress and remind them that money-making is not an evil endeavor when done ethically and efficiently.

Students should be basing their experiences in the economic realities that have allowed this country to prosper, and embrace the American work ethic in the traditional sense rather than adhere to the moral sentiments of degree granting institutions that foster savior like mentalities.

The road to hell is often paved with good intentions, and it would be good for students to be made more aware of this fact.

This is only a brief summary of important information about DOVATO and does not replace talking to your healthcare provider about your condition and treatment.

What is the most important information I should know about DOVATO? If you have both human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, DOVATO can cause serious side effects, including: • Resistant HBV. Your healthcare provider will test you for HBV infection before you start treatment with DOVATO. If you have HIV-1 and hepatitis B, the HBV can change (mutate) during your treatment with DOVATO and become harder to treat (resistant). It is not known if DOVATO is safe and effective in people who have HIV-1 and HBV infection.

• Worsening of HBV infection. If you have HBV infection and take DOVATO, your HBV may get worse (flare-up) if you stop taking DOVATO. A “flare-up” is when your HBV infection suddenly returns in a worse way than before. ° Do not run out of DOVATO. Refill your prescription or talk to your healthcare provider before your DOVATO is all gone. ° Do not stop DOVATO without first talking to your healthcare provider. ° If you stop taking DOVATO, your healthcare provider will need to check your health often and do blood tests regularly for several months to check your liver function and monitor your HBV infection. It may be necessary to give you a medicine to treat hepatitis B. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or unusual symptoms you may have after you stop taking DOVATO. For more information about side effects, see “What are possible side effects of DOVATO?” What is DOVATO? DOVATO is a prescription medicine that is used without other HIV-1 medicines to treat human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in adults: who have not received HIV-1 medicines in the past, or to replace their current HIV-1 medicines when their healthcare provider determines that they meet certain requirements. HIV-1 is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It is not known if DOVATO is safe and effective in children.

Who should not take DOVATO? Do not take DOVATO if you: • have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine that contains dolutegravir or lamivudine.

• take dofetilide. Taking DOVATO and dofetilide can cause side effects that may be serious or life-threatening.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before using DOVATO? Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • have or have had liver problems, including hepatitis B or C infection.

• have kidney problems.

• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. One of the medicines in DOVATO (dolutegravir) may harm your unborn baby. ° Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different medicine than DOVATO if you are planning to become pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. ° If you can become pregnant, your healthcare provider may perform a pregnancy test before you start treatment with DOVATO. ° If you can become pregnant, you and your healthcare provider should talk about the use of effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with DOVATO. ° Tell your healthcare provider right away if you are planning to become pregnant, you become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant during treatment with DOVATO. • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed if you take DOVATO. ° You should not breastfeed if you have HIV-1 because of the risk of passing HIV-1 to your baby. ° One of the medicines in DOVATO (lamivudine) passes into your breastmilk. ° Talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby. ©2021 ViiV Healthcare or licensor.

• You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with DOVATO. • Do not start taking a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider.

Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take DOVATO with other medicines.

What are possible side effects of DOVATO? DOVATO can cause serious side effects, including: • See “What is the most important information I should know about DOVATO?” • Allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider right away if you develop a rash with DOVATO. Stop taking DOVATO and get medical help right away if you develop a rash with any of the following signs or symptoms: fever; generally ill feeling; tiredness; muscle or joint aches; blisters or sores in mouth; blisters or peeling of the skin; redness or swelling of the eyes; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; problems breathing.

• Liver problems. People with a history of hepatitis B or C virus may have an increased risk of developing new or worsening changes in certain liver tests during treatment with DOVATO. Liver problems, including liver failure, have also happened in people without a history of liver disease or other risk factors. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check your liver. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms of liver problems: your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice); dark or “tea-colored” urine; light-colored stools (bowel movements); nausea or vomiting; loss of appetite; and/or pain, aching, or tenderness on the right side of your stomach area.

• Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis). Too much lactic acid is a serious medical emergency that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms that could be signs of lactic acidosis: feel very weak or tired; unusual (not normal) muscle pain; trouble breathing; stomach pain with nausea and vomiting; feel cold, especially in your arms and legs; feel dizzy or lightheaded; and/or a fast or irregular heartbeat.

• Lactic acidosis can also lead to severe liver problems, which can lead to death. Your liver may become large (hepatomegaly) and you may develop fat in your liver (steatosis). Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the signs or symptoms of liver problems which are listed above under “Liver problems.”

• You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or severe liver problems if you are female or very overweight (obese).

• Changes in your immune system (Immune Reconstitution Syndrome) can happen when you start taking HIV-1 medicines. Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you start having new symptoms after you start taking DOVATO. • The most common side effects of DOVATO include: headache; nausea; diarrhea; trouble sleeping; tiredness; and anxiety.

These are not all the possible side effects of DOVATO. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

SO MUCH GOES INTO WHO I AM HIV MEDICINE IS ONE PART OF IT. Why could DOVATO be right for you? DOVATO is proven to help control HIV with just 2 medicines in 1 pill. That means fewer medicines* in your body while taking DOVATO. It’s proven as effective as an HIV treatment with 3 or 4 medicines. Learn more about fewer medicines at DOVATO.com DOVATO is a complete prescription regimen to treat HIV-1 in adults who have not received HIV-1 medicines in the past or to replace their current HIV-1 medicines when their doctor determines they meet certain requirements.

Results may vary. *As compared with 3- or 4-drug regimens.

WILL INFLATION

SAVE LIVES? Expensive cheesesteaks might not be a bad thing

A

OK, that story sounds really dull, but wait: long with being a hot house the manic panic going on at ye olde cobbleto history, Philadelphia has stone-surrounded Independence Hall and its forever led as the king’s seat grassy Independence National Historical Park to revolution. I may not exactsince they planned the move from steam heat ly appreciate what Sixer Ben and toward natural gas and its local provider, Simmons is doing in his sitting down or sitting out from b-ball PGW, is more ferocious than it initially appears. For, despite the fact that PGW team play, but his gall is involved, and automatically you is gorgeous, and part want to throw money into escrow, of the merry insurBY: A.D remembering that Pres. Biden has rection that long made Philly great AMOROSI ordered federal agencies to reduce in the first place. Who knew, though, climate emissions, Indie Park’s move that tempers could flare over the polto fossil-fuel is akin to spitting in the itics of hissing pipes, and that such face of Joe’s mandate. Huzzah. Another manrevolt and angry narrative would one day intertwine and revolve around natural gas vs. date of Biden’s trashed, for better or worse, only this one executed at the very cradle of steam heat. Again. Hissssss.

NOVEMBER 18 - 25, 2021 | PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY

liberty that built such dissent. (Speaking of Biden, WTF for giving the guy who disrespectfully trashed the long-stored human remains of MOVE members – Philly’s one-time health boss, Thomas Farley – a top gig in the Washington, D.C. health department. Blimey).

Expensive eats Another set of things that Philly is famous for – shake off though we may try, on occasion – is the whole cheesesteak, Wawa hoagie, and soft pretzels thing that Philly’s Inquirer reminded us on Sunday will get more expensive due to the haunt of COVID’s inflation. I don’t want to be the bad guy where local culinary tradition is concerned, but that stuff’ll kill you when eaten in excess. You know that.

And I know that you know that I know that when dining out on the holy unholy trinity of Philly food stuffs, gorgeously gluttonous gorging excess is the name of the game. Where there is one cheesesteak, there are two.

Now. While I am IN NO FUCKING WAY stating that such a fat and carb-loaded trio should be more expensive due to any of Mayor Kenney’s sneaky taxation initiatives (e.g. soda taxes), perhaps having inflation hit Philly’s favorite foods will ward diners away from them much like overpriced cigarettes have done for smokers.

How many one-time smokers do I know (I’m one of them) who no longer light up simply because cigarettes cost too damn much. EVEN IN DELAWARE WHERE CIGARETTE CARTON PURCHASING WAS THE ONLY REASON WE EVER VISITED THE DIAMOND STATE. SO

maybe curb your cheesesteak, pretzel and hoagie eating – save some money while saving your life just a little longer.

And yes, in case you’re asking, this goes for the whole Herr’s potato chips local roll out of its “Flavored by Philly” campaign and any potential crowdsourced flavors. Because what’s Herr’s in Chester County? You’ll give me $10,000 for a year’s supply of snack food (OMG I’m dead already, I can leave that $10,000 donation to a local nonprofit of my choosing, if I win, to someone in my will). I’m betting that Herr’s won’t pick something lean and slimming and Philadelphian – say Morimoto 20th anniversary sashimi or a Honeygrow Kale salad or even an un-oily Cook-N-Solo Federal Donuts fried chicken.

Hey, I’m just looking out for you, Philly.

THEN AGAIN, IF SCRAPPLE GOES UP IN PRICE, AT ALL, I WILL CUT SOMEONE. Oh, if you’re looking to get your calorie, carb and cholesterol levels up while indulging in the vice of gambling, the Chickie and Pete’s in Malvern is gearing up for off track sports and horse-race betting. I might as well just bring a tall vial of cocaine for extra added zing.

We’re No 5?

Did you know that WalletHub, the personal finance website, released its findings (?!) on 2021’s Best Sports Cities, and ranked Philly fifth? Below Boston and Pittsburgh? OK. Did you know that Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi released his findings on the lamest money managing financial blogs and discov-

ered that WalletHub was the very lamest?

And douchiest? When you put it in that perspective, doesn’t WalletHub’s slimy assertion sound even stupider? Turn around. Meet fair play. Just saying.

A hit for The War on Drugs Icepack is not a place where, and I am not a critic who decides the worth of music or art solely on the basis of its chart success or financial reach (actually, I do only like and dislike records because of their cover art).

That said, Philly’s The War on Drugs jumped straight into number three at Billboard’s Top Rock Album charts with its newly released, “I Don’t Live Here Anymore,” and bravo to that. Weirdly enough, they got beat out by a bootleg, “Dave’s Picks, Vol. 40: Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN 7/18/90” from the Grateful Dead, but still….

Masked Philly: Jennifer-Navva Milliken In Icepack’s way toolong, way overly complex and continuing saga of asking mask-donning local celebrities what they’ve been up to, beyond the pale, during C-19 – from lockdown to the current reopening, present-day unmasking and re-masking, worrying about Delta variants, freaking out about Fauci’s call for a potential third round of vax shots mere five months after the last, new mask and vax card mandates, ignored or not ignored (I mean why did I wait in line at the Convention Center if you’re not asking to see my card?), and the possibility of mix-and-matching vaccines which is weird, right? – I reached out this week to Jennifer-Navva Milliken.

Milliken is the executive director and chief curator for Philadelphia’s Center for Art in Wood, a local hot spot dedicated to what she calls, “stimulating and nurturing creative engagement in wood, AND, as far as we know, it is the only museum of its kind.” While Milliken is normally reluctant to make such a definitive statement, I’ll second that and state as much dogmatically. From there, Art in Wood Center provides opportunities for collaboration, research, and exploration in the material through exhibitions and documentation; programs and events.

What Milliken did during COVID’s immediate slowdown was – along with her partner and their dog – fly to Tel Aviv to check in on their families and friends while keeping their Philly work hours intact. “What was meant to be a two-month visit turned into six months, due to extended shutdowns and airport closures,” says Milliken. “Though this was not without negative and stressful repercussions,

it was a personal gift to us – we usually only manage to go for a week or two annually.

And while I don’t imagine having the chance to skip Philadelphia winters again anytime soon, at least we know these interludes could be stretched out, longer, while maintaining a functional work rhythm.”

When it comes to masks, Milliken is not only pragmatic, but aesthetically driven.

“The mask actually presents another opportunity for self-expression, while also being a way to protect the health of ourselves and those around us,” she says. “In many societies, mask-wearing as a way of preventing the spread of viruses has been a practice for many, many years – something I first witnessed when living in Seoul, Korea. Masks are also a reminder that overcoming the pandemic requires effort from every member of a society. Wearing a mask and vaccinating are important individual actions, but insignificant if not undertaken together.”

As for Milliken’s opinion on the vax, she gets that we are incredibly fortunate to live in a time when a safe and effective vaccination can be developed, tested, and made available so quickly. “But we also need to think Image | Courtesy globally and to take steps of Jennifer-Navva Milliken to ensure that the world population has access to this vaccination as well as treatments and subsequent boosters (especially as COVID-19 transitions from pandemic to endemic). I would hope that the experience of the pandemic has pushed people to think beyond their immediate borders, with empathy and care.”

And for the immediate present, Milliken’s N. 3rd Street Center for Art in Wood is hosting “Extra-Human: The Art of Michael Ferris,” a study of an artist trained as a painter who left the canvas behind and took up the mantle of reclaimed wood and his adaptation of a traditional Syrian inlay method used in furniture-making.

“His Lebanese-Maronite heritage helped shape the unique visual language that distinguishes his work, while his monumental portrait sculptures honor the people in his life that are closest and dearest to him. In their oversized scale and poses, they fit solidly within the long history of portraiture – they seem ancient and contemporary at the same time.

We think that the story of art in wood helps us understand the timeless and sometimes mysterious bond between humankind and nature.”

ACCT PHILLY EXECUTED SAINT: HOLD THEM CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE Philadelphians Tiffany Lavelle and Bryan Landis’ friendly dog “Saint” never stood a chance to leave ACCT PHILLY alive. His death stems directly from the shelter board’s decision to hire recidivist kill pound leaders Aurora Velazquez and Summer Dolder. As part of a leadership team, under the auspices of Animal Care and Control Centers of NYC (ACC), many animals suffered incomprehensible atrocities, an audit revealed they were victims of “shoddy practices,” as reported by CBS local, and if ACC dog “Maverick” could testify about being dragged to his death, as exposed by the NY Post – an inhumane end.

Soon, a petition to oust Velazquez and Dolder was created. Two gut-wrenching events at ACCT PHILLY made that happen.

In July, an inspector found conditions at ACCT PHILLY so repugnant that the report ended with a recommendation to “refer for cruelty.” Perhaps stemming from potential conflicts of interest, many organizations that are supposed to stand up for animals and their owners instead protect kill pound leadership.

Case and point? The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (which has a close relationship with ACCT PHILLY) inexplicably found that conditions at ACCT PHILLY did not meet the criteria for cruelty.

They also refused to investigate the haunting death of Saint.

Saint was brought to ACT PHILLY by a police officer after his dad was pulled over for a traffic violation and had to go to the station, according to CBS PHILLY. Arriving at ACCT PHILLY to retrieve Saint, Landis was stunned to learn his dog had a broken jaw. A video snippet of Saint at ACCT PHILLY (posted by The Paw it 4ward foundation) shows a loving companion longing to cling to the safety in his dad’s call of angst – but being swept away by the depravity inflicted upon him and the scent of what was to come.

The film shows Velazquez telling Landis the safest place for Saint was at ACCT PHILLY. She also lied that ACCT PHILLY did not break Saint’s jaw. According to Lavelle, Velazquez first blamed police for the injury, then Saint, for biting the control pole. Lavelle posted that according to an ACT PHILLY document, “1/3 of Saint’s jaw was hanging by soft tissue.” A source told me that the worker – who Lavelle was told by police was acting aggressively toward Saint – still works at ACCT PHILLY. Lavelle’s Facebook Page states that ACCT PHILLY wouldn’t release Saint unless Landis

provided proof of vet care arrangements.

After he left, Velazquez had Saint executed, according to Paw it 4ward, nobody had the decency to call Saint’s parents. The video also shows Dolder lying to Saint’s distraught mom that he had to be destroyed because he wouldn’t allow treatment, even though Lavelle’s document shows he was examined, and he had “nowhere to go,” even though “shelter protocol requires emergency veterinarian treatment,” according to Paw it 4ward.

When through heaving soul tears Lavelle asked Dolder where Saint’s leash and collar are, Dolder appears to melt into the floor.

Gone – just like Saint’s body.

Sadly, what happened to Saint is the rule, not the exception, where kill pound leaders reside. Why? As I noted earlier, it is rare for animal cruelty investigators – as well as police and DAs – to hold those they work with or care about criminally accountable.

How can such egregious behavior be stopped?

Locally: 1. The Philadelphia DA must pursue a criminal investigation on ACCT PHILLY staff who participated in the potential abuse, cover-up, and execution of Saint.

2. The City of Philadelphia must break the animal services contract they have with ACCT PHILLY and replace them with an outstanding PA rescue group.

3. Fund a state-of-the-art animal shelter.

4. The ACCT PHILLY board must be replaced with rescue leaders and shelter pet advocates.

Nationally: We need a Sacred Trust Act. This bill would mandate persons who resign before a full cruelty/abuse investigation takes place or is convicted thereof shall not be permitted to work with vulnerable populations in another city or state. No. You do not get multiple chances to harm creatures who can’t fight back.

I won’t let myself think about Saint’s last moments at ACCT PHILLY. Nor will I entertain the life-long trauma they inflicted – by his execution – on Tiffany’s little boy. Philadelphia officials will soon reveal their humanity.

Will they choose to hire animal loving leaders, grounded in a no-kill modality, to make from, what is currently hell, a miracle? Or will they choose again people whose life’s work is killing “saints.”

Philadelphians, living in a city you proclaim to be of love: Always choose a miracle.

“According to the Mayo Clinic, most sex headaches – while very painful – aren’t a cause for concern. They eventually run their course and go away.”

hormonal birth control bills, pseudoephedrine, cannabis, and – ironically – drugs that are used to assist with erections.

Working out, getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy body weight, and seeking help for tension and anxiety are associated with reduced risk of these attacks.

Taking a more laidback or passive approach to sex can help, and opting for positions with less neck tension is a great idea. There are also prescription drugs to preempt sex headaches, some that are for daily prophylaxis and

others that can be taken a half an hour before you anticipate getting it on.

Aside from physical concerns, being struck by such horrendous agony during sex can significantly impact your sex life and relationships. It’s frightening, distressing and potentially traumatic to both you and your partners, so it’s important to talk openly about these experiences and share your concerns. Good luck!
