FROM THE EDITOR

Distract, Eagles Distract KERITH GABRIEL

T

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about an Eagles win and this dream of a run that continues to set the tone for the past few weeks in this city.

Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in all in my head, but I feel like people have been friendlier on the street; holding doors for each other, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;hello,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;good morning,â&#x20AC;? and all the other pleasantries one never hears because heads are buried in an electronic device, are attached to headphones, or, for some, generally make an effort to avoid eye contact.

Look, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the team, football or sports in general, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to not take notice that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re collectively reaping the beneďŹ ts of a team that has sent the city into euphoria as just one game, one more win at home stands between a return to the Super Bowl.

Four other major sports teams in this city, but no one is talking about them.

Sports talk radio certainly is not.

I was fortunate enough to go to the Divisional Game against Atlanta and spoke to a number of people who arrived as early as 9:30am to get into the parking lots to set up tailgates. Kickoff wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 4:25pm, but by 11am, lots were near capacity with people grilling (I witnessed two parking lot pig roasts), playing cornhole, tossing balls and drinking mass quantities of shitty beer to keep warm. A ticket to the game for some meant more than just being at this game live, it was a literal escape from the rigors of everyday life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the next 6-7 hours, nothing else matters,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Noonan, a factory worker from Croydon, who noted heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been waiting a month since he acquired a ticket for this game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing. People know not to call me because I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer. I got my kid here, my woman, my dad and our friends; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about anything else except ďŹ nishing this beer and making sure we all get in safe. Go, Eagles!â&#x20AC;?

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

Noonan was one of a number of people I spoke with but it was all the same. Words like â&#x20AC;&#x153;escape,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;distraction,â&#x20AC;? were repeatedly used as adjectives for what Saturday meant to the 70,000-plus lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of those things my kid and I can always say we were at,â&#x20AC;? said Rashaun Minnis, as he waved stacks of paper in my face, which I later realized were his tickets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just the cost of the ticket. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what these tickets mean. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the memory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here and I can guarantee you itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why so many other people feel the same way.â&#x20AC;?

Tuesday, Jan. 16, added validity to Minnisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; point. At 10am when tickets for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NFC Championship Game against the Vikings went on sale, I jumped on Ticketmaster to see if was at all possible to get a ticket to the game. I was on the computer at 9:15am, 45 minutes before the marketplace went live, refreshing feverishly, ready to have the Eagles take my money to see if I could become one of the lucky ones. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily want the ticket, but was drawn to it as more of an experiment to see if getting one was even possible.

At 10am, the marketplace came alive; by 10:02am:

Prudential Bank Platinum Money Market Account

We as Philadelphians have to consider ourselves fortunate that given the current state of, well, everything around us that we have this football team to provide a weekly reprieve.

Shit, should the Eagles win on Sunday?

Think about what Broad and Snyder will look like, what the square around City Hall and JFK Boulevard will look like; what Frankford and Cottman in the Northeast will look like.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be mayhem.

But it will also make for a pretty awesome distraction. Q

Diversify yoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jobs, Philadelphia Recently, the city released its annual workforce diversity profile report, an annual intrinsic look at the state of Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor corps along with an exam of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exempt workforce. The report depicts a robust, diverse city of predominantly Black and Latino residents, yet a somewhat disparaging depiction when it comes to salary, titles and gender roles. While on paper Philly depicts a colorful melting pot, when you look at some of these numbers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evident thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still some work to be done for it to reflect its cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce corps.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sampling of where Philly stacks up heading into 2018:

53 58 $10,000 Percentage of female to male residents.

190

Non-white executive-level city workers making $90k more annually. This includes all Black, Latino, Asian and other non-whites.

-$18$5<

Average percentage of cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combined Black and Latino population.

The rest of the breakdown featured 35.3 percent white and a combined Asian and other races average percentile of less than 10 percent (9.7 percent).

Amount the city, during its 2016 examination, found that white city exempt employees annually were compensated more than employees of color. At the end of ďŹ scal year 2017, the report found that disparaging number remained â&#x20AC;&#x153;staticâ&#x20AC;? despite a 10 percent improvement in that number for Latino employees. In fact, there was a minute increase for Asian and workers who identiďŹ ed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;two or more races.â&#x20AC;? So, technically, this number remained â&#x20AC;&#x153;staticâ&#x20AC;? only for black employees.

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

62

Average percentile of men who hold roles within city government. The numbers also depict men outrank women for workforce roles across multiple sectors, such as boards and commissions (52 percent men, 45 percent women) and civic service were men held almost a 2-1 edge. However, women hold a slight edge among workforce exempt employees (50.24 percent women, 49.76 percent men), which represent workers who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take a civil service exam for their position.

60 Average percentage of white workers holding down executive roles making $90,000 or more a year.

250 Number of white executive-level city employees.

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MARCH:

IMAGE COURTESY: EMILY MORSE

Emily Morse, pictured with her daughter at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March, is the major component of why the event has made a return to Philly for the second year.

Thanks to HER Meet the badass student, professional and mother of three who led the charge to return the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March to Philadelphia

BY ANDREA CANTOR

E

mily Morse is a prime example of how an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ordinaryâ&#x20AC;? woman can do extraordinary things.

Last year, the mother of three from King of Prussia, who works in account management by day and as a student at Villanova by night, founded and led the 55,000-person Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March on Philadelphia. This year, she is back, and determined to keep the momentum growing.

Women, female identiďŹ ers, and allies will gather at Aviator Park at 10:30am on Saturday, Jan. 20 and begin the march at 11am to Eakins Oval for a rally and performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can organize a march with 55,000 people, and a planning team comprised of mostly people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never met before, an ordinary person can certainly make a difference,â&#x20AC;? said the founder of Philly

-$18$5<

Women Rally, the nonproďŹ t that organized the march. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many different ways that you can get involved in so many levels of commitment that I feel like anyone can do it.â&#x20AC;?

Reported as the largest, single-day demonstration in history, the global Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March saw record numbers with the homebase march in D.C. galvanizing around a half-a-million participants. While the massive show-out at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s march had added fuel given Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential inauguration the day prior, Morse anticipates similar numbers based on the projected attendance from the Facebook event and through the registration page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up until a couple months ago, I think the momentum saw kind of a lull,â&#x20AC;? explained Morse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think between the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MeTooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement and the election in Alabama, we saw the momentum come back up, and so I feel it is about the same as last year.â&#x20AC;?

The MeToo movement, started by Tarana Burke in 2007, found resurgence courtesy of a tweet by actress Alyssa Milano, and has a personal signiďŹ cance for Morse.

As sexual assault survivor of multiple abuses through childhood and adolescence, Morse never openly shared her story until making a speech at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s march. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came out to that crowd as a sexual assault survivor, and I never looked back.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discussed it openly this whole past year, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to me to remove the stigma and the shame that comes with it so we can empower other women [to speak up],â&#x20AC;? relayed Morse who will be one of the speakers at the upcoming rally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly believe that the re-recognition of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MeTooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement or the gained awareness of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MeTooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement would not have happened if it were not for the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March. I think that the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March was the ďŹ rst step in this entire year of women, slowly but surely, feeling more empowered in their everyday lives to discuss what it means to be a woman today in the world, and not just in the United States.â&#x20AC;?

While the board is in high-drive for the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March on Philadelphia, two months ago, it was still unclear whether the anniversary march would even be happening. What changed the tides, and ultimately sealed the fate for another march in Philly, was the vocal response from past participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ďŹ nally decided that it was just too many people to ignore,â&#x20AC;? Morse afďŹ rmed.

According to Morse, internationally, Philadelphia was conďŹ rmed as the ďŹ rst sistermarch of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March in D.C. But while the sister marches promote and support the others, Morse clariďŹ ed that they are separate entities with their own platforms.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme for the Philly march is â&#x20AC;&#x153;We resist. We persist. We rise.â&#x20AC;? as a way to both reďŹ&#x201A;ect on the past yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments and to recommit to the cause for 2018.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We intentionally coordinated with the national organization, but we intentionally created our own organization and our own march and our own mission, because we wanted something that was unique to Philadelphia,â&#x20AC;? Morse said.

One of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s features that Morse takes a lot of pride in is its diversity. The Philly Women Rally board and the speaker lineup are made up of women from various backgrounds. For Morse, who is a white-passing Native American of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation on her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, the rallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is about â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ nding ordinary women in all communities and the Philadelphia area so that, hopefully, everyone in the attendance will ďŹ nd a speaker to relate to and inspire them.â&#x20AC;?

For a wider range of representation, the march had an open submission for speakers.

The lineup will include city ofďŹ cials, such as Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst female City Controller Rebecca Rhynhart, as well as ordinary people.

In the spirit of intersectional feminism, the planning board has facilitated respectful dialogue when it comes to representation and accommodation. One of the big debates of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s march centered on the pink â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pussy hats,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and whether they were anatomically exclusionary for the transgender community and people of color. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are trans women who have vaginas and there are trans women that do not have vaginas. There are women that argue that they are women of color and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re vagina isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pink. I am pigmented, I have Native American blood, and my elbows, my knuckles, and my vagina are not pink,â&#x20AC;?

Morse explained, emphasizing the organization does not dictate what people can wear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But other women ďŹ nd the [hats] to be empowering. So we provided a number [of articles] on both sides of the spectrumâ&#x20AC;Śand leave it up to our attendees to decide what they want to wear.â&#x20AC;?

Philly Women Rally will have a more direct hand in making the event as accessible as possible. The day will include a designated ADA seating area in front of the stage, drop off points close to the rally and along the marching route, ASL signers, and accessible porta potties.

Leading the march from Logan Square to Eakins Oval will be Drum Like a Lady.

Founding member and lead percussionist LaTreice V. Branson, who uses a cane, is training her body to walk and perform the approximate four-tenths of a mile route, according to Morse.

When asked about the major takeaway of the event, Morse responded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to plan a march where 55,000 people attend. But you do have a duty, at the very least, to educate yourself about womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights, about whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running for ofďŹ ce, about current elections and current events.â&#x20AC;?

Honoring Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abolitionists

On MLK Jr. Day, North Philly volunteers clean up the historic burial site of two of our own civil rights legends

BY MAX MARIN

A

s volunteers raked leaves and picked up trash, Jean Warrington pointed to Martin Luther King Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unmistakable visage on a mural overlooking the Fairhill Burial Ground. The rowhouse mural tells the story not of King â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but of Lucretia Mott, a 19th century abolitionist whose remains are interred here at the historic cemetary alongside fellow Philly abolitionist Robert Purvis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MLK was a warrior for justice as were these two 100 years earlier,â&#x20AC;? says Warrington, the executive director of Historic Fairhill, a nonproďŹ t group that helps beautify the resting place of these human rights activists.

Purvis helped found the American Anti-Slavery Slavery in 1833, with the help of Mottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband. Meanwhile, Mott herself was one of 18 women, both white and black, who formed the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society.

In 1838, anti-black rioters descended upon a

-$18$5<

national convention for female abolitionists in Philly, destroying the newly built Pennsylvania Hall. In a scene rendered on mural overlooking her interment place, Mott and her sisterhood of abolitionists famously linked arms to protect black women at the convention from being attacked as they made their escape.

Mott would have been 225 years old on Jan. 3.

Her birthday may not be a celebrated national holiday, but to the group of volunteers who braved the cold Monday to help beautify the garden and grounds at Fairhill cem-

etery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of North Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most treasured green spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the signiďŹ cance is not lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always freezing, and we always think nobody will come out, but they always do,â&#x20AC;?

Warrington says, noting this is the 10th year of the MLK Jr. Day cleanup at the site.

Chris Scott is a 25-year-old program leader at Grumblethorpe Youth Volunteers, a Germantown-based service group that teaches life skills and urban farming to teenagers. He and his brother, Khyrel, are among the dozen volunteers raking leaves around the low-lying gravestones and picking up trash that has blown from the street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was younger, I used to volunteer on MLK Jr. Day at my school, painting walls and doing other day-of-service activities,â&#x20AC;?

Scott says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to come back to that.â&#x20AC;?

The volunteer crew takes a break around a small woodďŹ re, where one of Historic Fairhillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groundskeepers passes around red cups of hot apple cider. Among the group are teens from Grumblethorpe. Across the street, off-duty ofďŹ cers from the 25th Police District are tidying up a vacant lot on the corner of Germantown and Indiana Ave. One of the traditions of the MLK Jr. Day cleanup at Fairhill is about to begin. Volunteers pull pieces of paper from a hat, on which are printed excerpts of Dr. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sermons and speeches. They take turns reading aloud, and then they break into song.

While some activists have argued for increased demonstrations to honor the late civil rights leader, such community service observances on MLK Jr. Day have a devoted following in Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhoods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meant to protest, then protest,â&#x20AC;? says Sechita Elliot, a lifelong neighborhood resident who serves as a gardener and youth leader at the cemetery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what MLK was meant to do. But he also supported people coming together as a community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a form of protest, too.â&#x20AC;?

The 300-year-old Quaker burial ground sits in the heart of North Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19133 zip code, which ranks among the lowest income in Pennsylvania. Over the years, the historic site has been plagued by everything from violent crime to scrap metal theft. But with every year that passes, Elliott, a third-generation Fairhill resident who now raises her children here, says she sees the neighborhood getting better, safer and more family-oriented â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with no small thanks to the community anchor the burial ground has provided.

In the warmer seasons, Elliott and others steward youth gardeners from the area to tend to the cemetery garden. The crop yields everything from tomatoes to bok choy to watermelons. When not hosting visitors from all over the country, the cemetery also serves as a neighborhood hangout and a venue for community events of every stripe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a bad name [in Fairhill],â&#x20AC;? Elliott says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a strong community.â&#x20AC;? Q TWITTER: @MAXMMARIN

Shrugging off the negativity that tried to define him, King Magnetic has a new outlook and is out to state his case as a true underground hip-hop king.

Beats, bars and rhymes When it comes to making a name in hip-hop, time was on King Magneticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side

BY GREGORY DALE

M

urphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law seemed to haunt the early portion of King Magneticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

The age-old epigram states: anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. For a long time, it seemed like this was a common theme in the 39-yearold rapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

It started with probation as a teen, which happened after he slapped one of his classmates. That later escalated to getting involved with crime, speciďŹ cally robbery and drug dealing. Ultimately, he wound up in prison for ďŹ ve years before he even turned 21.

He got out of prison and turned his life around.

While working as a restaurant manager, he decided to pursue a career in hip-hop.

His passion for rap developed while he was young.

While he was getting involved with crime, he was simultaneously freestyling with his friends and recording music. But his time away was when the Allentown, Pa., native honed his skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I went to jail, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I got real sharp with it,â&#x20AC;? Magnetic told PW during a recent interview. I had a whole lot of time to write. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I got nice.â&#x20AC;?

-$18$5<

Once he put his energy into music following his prison stint, his life started following the path of Yhrpumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law: everything that can work will work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The same way the negative shit was snowballing, this rap shit was snowballing too,â&#x20AC;? Magnetic said.

In addition to rapping, he also made beats. In 2005, he gave a beat to Philly rapper Reef the Lost Cauze. Reef ultimately would use the beat and create the song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sound of Philadelphia.â&#x20AC;? Just two years later, ESPN used the song on its show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monday Night Countdown.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That shit was real dope,â&#x20AC;? Magnetic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I got a check from Disney, so that was cool.â&#x20AC;?

From there, his career took off. He collaborated with the Philly-based underground hip-hop collective Army of Pharoes and dropped his ďŹ rst single with Sean Price of the Boot Camp Clik. Then, in April 2008, he dropped his ďŹ rst album, Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Gamble.

Nearly 10 years later, the 6-foot, 9-inch tall rapper has ruled the underground scene, releasing numerous projects and garnering a list of reputable collaborations, including producers 9th Wonder and DJ Premier. Last March, he released his latest album, Everything Happens 4 A Reason.

In December, he released a video for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understand,â&#x20AC;? a single from the album. In the visual, he posts up with his boys on 7th & Chew streets in his native Allentown. A Notorious B.I.G. sample provides the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hook, while Magnetic effortlessly glides over the verses backed by a chopped up piano beat.

He raps: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m invested. I need my money right now.

Were you ever worth a quarter mill with your lights out? And your rentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to the point that you got to leave. Homie made the Forbes, but you still got to thieve.â&#x20AC;?

Magneticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound is a nod to golden age rap. Over chopped up jazz and soul samples and boom bap drums, he delivers heavy bars and slick rhymes.

As hip-hop approaches its middle age, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent that its styles are going to continue to change. With that said, Magnetic explained that he believes there will always be a space for his style of rap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a lane for boom bap and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;quote on quoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; old school shit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always going to be lyricists.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always going to be party rappers. I used to listen to Kid and Play, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to sit up and quote any bars from them.â&#x20AC;?

He added he is going to step out of his lane and release a trap album at some point this year.

Looking ahead, Magnetic explained he wants to get back into production. Since the release, of his debut album, he put his energy into rap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already 30, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 19 or 20,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to focus on this rapping. I can make beats when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 60.â&#x20AC;?

He also said he would like to help cultivate a hip-hop scene in Allentown and delve into management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that many outlets here,â&#x20AC;? he said.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like most major cities where you have your hole in the wall places to [hold concerts]. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of room to grow as far as that goes. I deďŹ nitely would like to set up a couple things.â&#x20AC;?Q TWITTER: @DA7THLETTER

Which is why we should all get out of the house and take in these acts hitting area venues this month.

Lana Del Rey (Jan. 21)

Del Reyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sultry sound has been a worldwide hit, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that sound thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten her into a potential day in court with other bands who say some of her songs sound very similar to some notable acts. Still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely separate from the equation that Ms. Del Rey is still selling out arenas and captivating audiences with one of her next stops being South Philly. | 8pm. $67. Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. wellsfargocenterphilly.com/ events/detail/lana-del-rey

The stop is part of a 20-city tour and her only one in the Greater Philadelphia Region. | 8pm. $29.50-59.50. Keswick Theater, 291 Keswick Ave., Glenside. keswicktheatre.com

The O.G. of the Ruff Ryders heads to Philly with a fresh slate coming off a rough 2017.

Of garbage and art Kensington neighborhood association seeks artists for upstart trash can initiative

BY MELISSA KOMAR

IMAGE: FILE PHOTO

In efforts to spruce up the neighborhood, EKNA is calling for all artist submissions to design a series of trash cans continuing an rapidly expanding River Wards initiative.

-$18$5<

ith litter can be chalked up as an eyesore, it appears eye-catching trash cans are the new trend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least in the River Wards.

The East Kensington Neighbors Association is the most recent civic group to roll out a curbside campaign to encourage individuals to throw away trash and beautify the neighborhood at the same time.

EKNA is looking for artists to create designs for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kensington Cansâ&#x20AC;? initiative.

Olde Richmond Civic Association debuted its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can Itâ&#x20AC;? campaign, with ďŹ ve trash can lids designed and hand-painted by local artists in December and the Fishtown Neighbors Association, which started the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feed the Fishâ&#x20AC;? in 2014, kicked off round two of its trash can lid initiative in August.

EKNA was inspired by FNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having happy hours every now and then and just trying to keep everyone connected,â&#x20AC;? said Nic Esposito, former EKNA president and current treasurer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also part of the Philadelphia Crosstown Coalition, so we love seeing what other RCOs are doing and we saw those ubiquitous Fishtown ďŹ sh head trash cans all over the neighborhood and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, we should do this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The Kensington-based civic starting discussing the idea about a year ago after realizing there was a sizeable amount of funds left over from events, which will be used to purchase the trash cans and reimburse artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started talking about how we could spend money in a meaningful way in the neighborhood and [the trash can initiative] was a big one that came up for us,â&#x20AC;?

Esposito said.

Andy Ortega, EKNA board member atlarge and chair of the community affairs and public safety committee, is spearheading the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no deadline as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to establish a large portfolio of artists for businesses to choose from when they create their can and so we can maintain open enrollment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do, however, encourage artists to reach out soon as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to hit the ground running in early 2018.â&#x20AC;?

EKNA is in conversations with businesses to serve as locations for the trash cans.

The ďŹ rst business to commit to hosting one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kensington Cansâ&#x20AC;? was the forthcoming Flow State Coffee Bar, 2413 Frankford Ave. Melanie Diamond-Manlusoc, owner of the coffee shop along with Liz DiamondManlusoc and Maggie Lee, was excited for another opportunity to keep the neighborhood clean while connecting with more individuals.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;hybrid of a co-working space and a European cafĂŠ,â&#x20AC;? which is under construction with an anticipated February opening, got involved with tackling trash in the neighborhood by registering with Not in Philly.

In exchange for â&#x20AC;&#x153;adopting a block,â&#x20AC;? a sixth-month commitment to go out once a week and clean up trash, the Philadelphia nonproďŹ t gives individuals a trash grabber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was already doing that on the 2400 block of Frankford Avenue for a couple months when the neighborhood association reached out to us to welcome us to the neighborhood, and we went to one of the neighborhood meetings and found out they were doing the trash can initiative,â&#x20AC;?

Diamond-Manlusoc said.

Diamond-Manlusoc was born and raised in Detroit and spent 13 years in Chicago â&#x20AC;&#x153;and in both places I had never seen so much of a trash problemâ&#x20AC;? and pointed out in Philadelphia â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no garbage cans to throw anything away. â&#x20AC;ŚIn any big city I was in, you walk a couple blocks and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a trash can and you kind of take that for granted.â&#x20AC;?

The owners were aware of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feed the Fishâ&#x20AC;? initiative and jumped at the opportunity to participate in a similar one in Kensington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more trash cans, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less for me to pick up every week,â&#x20AC;? joked Diamond-Manlusoc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just an extension of us wanting to help and be part of the neighborhood. We all live within minutes of walking to the space and we want to be good neighbors.â&#x20AC;? Q Artists interested in designing trash can lids for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kensington Cansâ&#x20AC;? should email info@EKNA.org.

port Borski, daughter of former congressman Bob Borski and niece of the late state Sen. Jim Lloyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has that wonderful Borski/Lloyd blood running through her veins,â&#x20AC;? Maureen McAllister said of Borski, 25, during her introduction.

The candidate said she wanted to end what she called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;warâ&#x20AC;? on teachers and public education and help lower the opioid death rate.

Among those supporting Borski was Keith Xiao, who owns a variety store at Frankford Avenue and Comly Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has new ideas to help the community.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I support her,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Borski is taking 10 credits this semester to wrap up her law degree from Temple. Her next beneďŹ t will be on Feb. 23 at the Polish American Citizens Harmonia Club in Bridesburg. Supporters will pay $25 to celebrate her 25th birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Daryl Boling, a Democratic candidate in the 152nd Legislative District, will hold a Feb. 3 fundraiser at a private home in Ambler as he seeks to challenge Republican Rep. Tom Murt.

Boling has spent more than 20 years providing ďŹ nancial leadership to arts organizations, including several years managing the Bucks County Playhouse.

The challenger believes there is too much dysfunction in Harrisburg. His priorities are education, renewable resources and the environment, healthcare, common-sense gun laws and jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Credit downgrades and overdue budgets create an unnecessary cost to taxpayers here.

We hear of state contracts, in the tens of millions of dollars, going to fund outmoded technologies and practices, when we could be funding our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s futures,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nina Ahmad raised more than $579,000 and ďŹ nished the ďŹ rst month of her congressional campaign with roughly $564,000 in the bank.

The ďŹ gure was more than any challenger to Rep. Bob Brady has raised over any period of time. In addition to a loan to her campaign, Ahmad raised more than $115,000 from donors in less than a month since announcing her intention to run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already put together the strongest campaign this congressional district has seen in the two decades Bob Brady has been in Congress, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to stop until PA-1 ďŹ nally elects a bold progressive voice to the U.S. House,â&#x20AC;? Ahmad said.

Ahmad, former chairwoman of the Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization for Women and deputy mayor for public engagement, would be the ďŹ rst minority woman elected to Congress in Pennsylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can send a message that right now is the time to end the sexism and sexual harassment that undermines women economically,â&#x20AC;? she said.

A solve for Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opioid crisis is at the top of the list of action items for Northeast Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dan Martino, who announced his candidacy for state Rep. on Jan. 9.

Resident representative Can a progressive opioid platform get you elected?

This candidate thinks so

BY MAX MARIN

D

an Martino visibly winces at the thought of being called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;politician.â&#x20AC;?

The 33-year-old Northeast Philly native rocks long black hair and tattoos, including one ďŹ nger inked with a small skull and crossbones. He plays drums in local folk-punk band TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a suit,â&#x20AC;? he says.

But in recent years, Martino has become something of an activist in his River Wards neighborhood of Olde Richmond, where drug policy and public safety intertwine every day. He built a crime watch group. He organized an overdose awareness march last year, and is often cited in media reports about the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug problem.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that experience that has inexorably guided Martino into politics: On Wednesday, he joined the pool of Democratic candidates gunning to replace longtime Republican Rep. John Taylor, who retires at the end of this term, in Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 177th House district.

In a midterm primary otherwise ďŹ lled with boilerplate Democratic platforms, Martinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidacy raises the question of whether the battle for the 177th seat could be a single-issue race.

-$18$5<

Could a strong approach to the opioid crisis and its attendant woes be a ticket to victory in the neighborhoods hit hardest? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming the biggest quality-of-life issue in the district,â&#x20AC;?

Martino says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crime issues are tied into the drug problem, and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poverty level fuels the drug trade.â&#x20AC;?

Through the Olde Richmond Civic Association, where he serves as secretary, Martino helped craft a Town Watch program to quell some of the crimes attributed to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large addicted population. In the year since its inception, he says, the area has seen a 50 percent reduction in burglaries and a 30 percent drop in thefts.

But crime stats to the contrary, Martino, who makes his living as a graphic designer, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly the law-and-order type.

The newly announced candidate wants to argue for legislation to legalize needle exchange programs across the state, boost funding for harm-reduction organizations such as Prevention Point and, more divisively, advocate for supervised injection facilities in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without safe injection sites, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re condemning me and my neighbors to a lifetime of cleaning up needles,â&#x20AC;? Martino says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re condemning me and my neighbors to a lifetime of witnessing people shooting up. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also condemning police, ďŹ re

and EMTs to a lifetime of reversing overdoses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bullshit, actually. And you can print that.â&#x20AC;?

The heavily gerrymandered 177th district includes parts of Fishtown, Port Richmond and Mayfair, all of which have been hit particularly hard by the surge of opioid overdoses. The North Delaware and River Wards municipal planning regions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; parts of which the district covers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had the two highest rates of fatal overdoses per capita in Philadelphia in 2016, according to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Public Health.

While top Philadelphia ofďŹ cials are jockeying to open the ďŹ rst supervised injection facility in the nation, the fate of the proposal is still very much uncertain, and community support will play a decisive role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone wants to move it away from them, but just pushing the problem around doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life better.

People are talking about the homeless and addicted population moving northward from Kensington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; guess what, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this district,â&#x20AC;? Martino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way out of this mess is if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to get help than it is to get high.â&#x20AC;?

The self-styled outsider victories of Larry Krasner and Rebecca Rhynhart last year may lend conďŹ dence to a political unknown such as Martino, but district races in Philadelphia still operate under old provincial customs. Martinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponents have stronger ties to ward leaders and Democratic kingmakers.

And while he may have some street activist credentials, he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only candidate in the 177th to put forth a drug-conscious platform.

Maggie Borski, a 24-year-old third-year Temple Law student â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and daughter of former U.S. Rep. Bob Borski â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranked the crisis in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;top threeâ&#x20AC;? campaign issues. On her website, she calls for more drug education, syringe exchange programs and access to overdose-reversing naloxone. Pressed by a reporter, Borski did not have a stance on supervised injection facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to research more,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stigma against drug users still; I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re punishing people suffering from addiction.â&#x20AC;?

Also in her favor: Borski has touted that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only declared female candidate in a race that has rumored to have up to a dozen candidates. (Not all of them have declared.) She has also wooed the support of former Gov. Ed Rendell, among other inďŹ&#x201A;uential politicians.

Union plasterer Sean Kilkenny, who has already found himself in unrelated hot water, has the support of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building trades unions, which are helping him build a campaign war chest. (Kilkenny did not return a request for comment on the opioid and overdose crisis.)

Another candidate, Sean Patrick Wayland, who served eight years in the U.S. Army Reserve, lists â&#x20AC;&#x153;opioid epidemicâ&#x20AC;? on his platform issues, though no speciďŹ cs are offered.

The Northeast Times reports that Joe Hohenstein, who took about 45 percent of the vote against Taylor in 2016, will also return, although he has not formally announced his candidacy.

And still more may jump in. Others include Tom Forkin, an aide to state Rep. Mike Driscoll; Sean K. McMonagle, an aide to Councilman Mark Squilla; and Harry Enggasser, who is a ward leader, aide to U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, two-time challenger to Taylor and president of the Bridesburg Civic Association. Former Councilman and ward leader Dan Savage, once rumored to be running with the Democratic City Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backing, is now said to be sitting out of the race.

As for Martino, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not expecting much in the way of bigname support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are establishment candidates who are going to soak up all of the endorsements,â&#x20AC;? Martino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to have the Democratic machine in Philadelphia come and lay their hands on me.â&#x20AC;? Q TWITTER: @MAXMMARIN

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a professional dominatrix, and I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen everything in the last ďŹ ve years. But this situation completely bafďŹ&#x201A;ed the entire dungeon. This middle-aged guy, seemingly in ďŹ ne health, booked an appointment with me and my colleague for one hour of some very light play and a golden shower to ďŹ nish off with. We did no CBT, no cock rings, no trauma to the dick area at all, no ass play, no sounding or catheters, no turbulent masturbation, nothing that could have caused this reaction. We brought him into the bathroom, and he laid down on his back, jerking off with a condom on his penis as my buddy was standing over him and peeing and I was saying all kinds of mean/encouraging sentiments and closely observing his progress. He came andâ&#x20AC;Ś it was entirely blood. It looked like he shat into his condom, through his penis. He did not seem alarmed or in pain. He took off his condom himself, so he was aware of the situation. He did not remark on it to either of us! He made ZERO effort to prepare either of us, either. And it was not a little blood in his ejaculateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was entirely blood.

He has never returned. Is this person a monster or a vampire? Is he dying? Seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mistress Echo P.S. I went back to the bathroom with gloves on and removed the used condom from the trash and took a photo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way to communicate just how much blood there was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can tell Mistress Echo that her client was not a monster or a vampire, and he is likely not dying anytime soon,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Stephen H. King, a board-certiďŹ ed urologist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What she observed is a person with hematospermia, meaning blood in the semen.â&#x20AC;?

While the sight is alarmingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be able to scrape that photo off the back of my eyeballs, thanksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dr. King assures me that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to worry about, as hematospermia is almost always benign. And even if you had done ball play or rough CBT (cock and ball torture), or if he engaged in solo CBT

prior to the session, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that kind of play would result in a condom full of blood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vast majority of the semen actually comes from the prostate and the seminal vesicles, which are located deep in the pelvis just behind and below the bladder, respectively,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. King. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very little of the ejaculate ďŹ&#x201A;uid actually originates from the testicles,â&#x20AC;? which primarily pump out hormones and sperm cells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The prostate gland and seminal vesicles (also glands) store up the ďŹ&#x201A;uids and can become overdistended with long periods of abstinence and prone toward micro tearing and bleeding in this circumstance.â&#x20AC;?

Blowing regular loads doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just lower your risk for prostate cancer, as multiple studies have shown, it also lowers your risk for ďŹ lling condoms with blood and alarming your friendly neighborhood pro-Dom. Two good reasons for draining those balls, guysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and other people with balls because, as the Book of Tumblr teaches us, not all guys have balls and not all balls have guys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, these glands are lined by smooth muscle that contracts to force out the ďŹ&#x201A;uid [during ejaculation],â&#x20AC;? Dr. King continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the force of contraction is excessiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a fucking great orgasmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this may lead toward rupture of some of the surrounding blood vessels and blood will enter the semen.â&#x20AC;?

Your clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blasĂŠ reaction is a good indication that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experienced this previously, ME, because most guys who see blood in their semenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or only blood when they expected to see semenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;freak the fuck out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my practice, most guys who see blood in their ejaculate the ďŹ rst time are sufďŹ ciently freaked out to seek immediate medical attention, and their doctors usually tell them this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something to worry aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;unless it persists,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. King. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In cases where the hematospermia persists, gets worse, or is associated with other symptoms such as pain, difďŹ culty urinating, or general health decline, medical attention is deďŹ nitely recommended.â&#x20AC;?

Back to your client, ME: If blood loads have happened to him before (hence the blasĂŠ reaction), proper etiquette dictates that he should have said something to you about it afterward (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ďŹ ne, no biggieâ&#x20AC;?). If it happens to him regularly, he should have warned you in advanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it says in my imaginary edition of Emily Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Etiquette. Q

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: The Conway team delivers! Kathy and Pat had our house sold in 5 days!!! And we had several viewings in those short 5 days. They are truly professionals and treated us like family. When an issue arose (thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something), they had it covered. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for a swifter and more seamless sale. They know Queen Village and their expertise and efďŹ ciency now have our old neighbors calling their ofďŹ ce. Thanks so much!
