ofia Ali-Khan wrote a Facebook missive that went viral. It focused on how non-Muslim folks can be appropriate allies to followers of Islam at a time in America where Islamaphobia has heightened. She encouraged strangers to sit next to a woman wearing a hijab, the traditional veil that covers the head of Muslim women, and simply say “As-salumu alaykum,� a greeting that means “the peace be upon you.� Ali-Khan is a Muslim mother with

a three- and five-year-old in Philadelphia’s suburbs and she went to high school in Bucks County with the Academy at Palumbo’s, 1100 Catharine St., chemistry teacher, Kathryn Sundeen. Sundeen saw the quicklyspreading viral post from her old friend and invited her to open up a Townhall Meeting on Islamaphobia that teachers and students from Palumbo had arranged Tuesday. The fourth-floor library was packed. “There’s just too much hate on the airwaves, this isn’t what our coun-

try’s about,� Ali-Khan, a longstanding Philadelphia public interest attorney, said. She pointed out that there are nearly 10 million Muslims living in America, 1.5 billion worldwide. She told a story of her gym teacher forcing her to run a mile during Ramadan but, with optimism, argues that the fact that Palumbo teachers know how the month of fasting and Islamic faith works is a point of progress. She turned over the microphone to a panel of Muslim students, grades

nine through 11, who were ready to present an idea they wanted to share about Islamaphobia in 2016. Sophomore Khalil Hijazi started with some general points. “I know a lot of you know about racism in the media with Donald Trump and all that, there’s a lot of hate towards [Muslims],� he said. But countered “we’re meant to be peaceful. That’s what Islam means – it means peace. We’re generally peaceful people and the media ASS PALUMBO ^OUS ,,

>`]bSQbW\U O\R aS`dW\U To our Readers: In “My Heart Leaps Up,� English poet William Wordsworth declared “The Child is the father of the Man,� a sentiment that I have revered since my adolescence and now admire even more as a patriarch. My childhood yielded much admiration for the overworked and underpaid members of the Philadelphia Police Department, and my respect has carried through to my adulthood, with last week’s shooting of Officer Jesse Hartnett reaffirming that danger cannot dissipate if certain people (Add your choices here.) keep sweeping under the carpet the blatant disregard that perpetrators of crime have for their communities. I fully understand that some people do in-

deed have wretched situations that prompt them to ponder and often execute nefarious means to stay alive. I also know not to blame police for their plight. We have read about and watched ample accounts of misconduct by law enforcement figures, and, yes, their behavior is reprehensible, but so is the disregard for giving thanks to those who uphold the law. Last week’s shooting, which has inspired our Word on the Street inquiry, scares me. What petrifies me, though, is knowing there are plenty who praise what Edward Archer “supposedly� did and individuals who call it an isolated incident. I pray they are right because I know they will not. Joseph Myers South Philadelphia Review editor

Clamoring for Clarke To the Editor: As a member of the 3rd Police District Advisory Council, I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see comments that City Council President Darrell Clarke made about the Philadelphia Police Department at the recent swearing-in of city-elected officials. He seemed to imply that Philadelphians live in fear of the police, while also seemingly to paint all our police officers with the same broad brush. I was equally disappointed, although again not surprised, that Clarke did not attend any of the pro-police support rallies held throughout the city last year. His absence did not go unnoticed. I would like to extend an invitation to Council President Clarke to get out of the Academy of Music and City Hall and travel below South Street. That way, he could come to South Philadelphia for something other than a ribbon-cutting or photo opportunity and see for himself who is really committing the crime in my neighborhood and forcing my law-abiding and hard-working neighbors to be careful and wary as they go about their daily lives. I can assure him it is not the Philadelphia Police Department committing any these crimes. Joe Eastman South Philadelphia

How fearful are you of further aggression against members of the Philadelphia Police Department? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“We should do whatever we can to support and bolster the department so we can remain vigilant against any acts of aggression, and we ought to work with local, state, and federal agencies to protect our citizens.� Dr. Andrew Miller, Broad and Wolf streets “Cops have a tough job,

To the Editor: Well, this is fun! The response from Debbie Russino (“I’ll take thirds,� Jan. 7) to my letter of Dec. 24, criticizing her previous letter in which she “creatively� imagined Santa Claus as a victim of terrorism, inspires me to explain some of my facts and figures. First of all, as the widow of a combat veteran of the Korean War, I do not need any reminders of the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women and always honor them. Secondly, we do not need to invoke imaginary metaphors like an assault on Santa to express the horror of any attack on innocent people. We are all aware of the unspeakable acts of murder committed by those who claim to be inspired by a radical cause - any radical cause. and it appears they’re more under attack than in the past. I hope the violence doesn’t continue. I have relatives who are police officers, so, yes, I’m fearful for them.� Ben Kolecki, Fishtown “I’m very fearful because if

That is the reality we all understand. And yes, Debbie, if you listen to the demagoguery from certain candidates for president, we are being told to live in fear of extremists; that we need to build higher walls; or ban certain religious groups from entering our country. That is indeed fear mongering. My point is that we should not allow ourselves to panic and run around with hair on fire as if we are all in imminent danger from “radical Islamic extremists.� My figure of 4 million to 1 is based on the number of Americans actually killed in America by terrorists since 9/11 in proportion to the general population. Also, in the more than 14 years since then, terrorist attacks by antigovernment, racist and other non-jihadist extremists have killed nearly twice as many Americans as those by Islamic jihadists, and that is not counting the hundreds of thousands of citizens killed by gun violence. I suggest we are more likely to get hit on the head by a piece of falling masonry than gunned down or bombed by a terrorist. My concern is that, in the wake of any of these infrequent attacks, the backlash on innocent people who simply look like Muslims is both cruel and unnecessary. Of course, our thoughts and prayers should be with the victims of senseless extremists, and I mean all such victims, including the babies gunned down in Sandy Hook or the church people murdered by a racist in Charleston, South Carolina. I sincerely wish all the readers of the South Philly Review and my new pen pal Debbie Rossino a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year. Gloria Endres South Philadelphia

ccording to police, three men entered Ms. Jessie’s Stop N Shop, 909 S. 12th St., at 8:38 a.m. Monday and attempted to rob the establishment at gunpoint. The proprietor replied by pulling his own weapon and firing a fatal shot at one interloper’s head. Emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead shortly after, with authorities not disclosing his name as of press time. They added they recovered two weapons and took a 22-year-old, whose identity also remains undisclosed, into custody. The third figure, whom they noted might be suffering an injury, remains at large.

10) Mentally preparing for the task of eating French toast: Tuesday brought us a taste of snow, and you just know that when heavier helpings come, plenty of people will flock to supermarkets to stock up on bread, milk, and eggs, the chief components of French toast. Remember cinnamon, too, everyone. 9) Remembering to write the right year: I used to be a notorious forgetter when it came to remembering to write or type the new year on virtually everything. I have not been guilty of this since 2014 and hope you give 2016 its due on your documents. 8) Deciding how often to post Facebook status updates on your workouts: Yes, we are all so impressed that your abs look glorious, but ours do, too! 7) Judging others on their resolutions: Internally retained or externally offered, critiques of someone’s goals reflect more on the judge’s narrow mind than the tar-

I have too much to gain by choosing the opposite, as do you. 3) Dealing with the pain of an Eaglesless postseason: Most people have likely accepted that the Birds just were not a solid team last season, but there are bound to be those who are taking in the playoff duels and engaging in “What if...?� scenarios. Hey, you could always cheer for Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs either to show your allegiance to Big Red or to continue to bash his postseason futility. Ah, schadenfreude, we meet again!

2) Realizing that bringing the exercise machine into your home is not the extent of its use: Yes, it needs assembly and actually responds quite well to touch more so than occasional glances in its direction. 1) Keeping perspective: Pressure abounds this time of year, with the biggest example being internal agitation. Please remember that unless you are a fire-breathing dragon or a non-dog lover, you do not need that much modification. Happy new year, all!

ews of David Bowie’s death flooded social media, radio waves, print publications and digital spaces early in the morning Monday, the day after his late Sunday passing. And here in Philadelphia, there was no better place to be on Monday night than Doobie’s, a cozy corner institution at 22nd and Lombard streets that manages to hang on to a 19146 zip code. That’s because Patti Brett is here, a Sigma kid and lifelong Bowie superfan. She’s behind the bar and it is properly packed as Bowie tunes sing out from the jukebox. “Everyone wants to be close to Bowie today,� she nearly shouted above the cacophony. Every seat in the bar was occupied, nearly 40 people were packed into the intimate cash-only pub that Brett’s managed for years. She donned her David Meowie t-shirt, one that stylizes a cat’s face with the iconic Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt, and she cupped her hand around her ear to hear orders of tequila sunrises while “Moonage Daydream� blared behind me. Brett’s an infamous Bowie fan because she has become known as one of the Sigma

Kids, a group of teenagers and diehards who lingered outside Sigma Sound Studios on North 12th Street while Bowie was recording his 1975 smash album, Young Americans. Famously, Bowie let the Sigma Kids up for an impromptu listening party (complete with illicit wine and too-nervous-to-get-eaten sandwiches) after the record was nearly finished. He bit his nails and fingers as Brett, Marla Kanevsky, Leslie and Purple listened to the title track and then, unforgettably, one of them yelled “Play it again!� There’s no denying it – Bowie loved Philadelphia and he kicked off many a tour in town. Notoriously so at the Spectrum, a location where he also shot a video for “Modern Love,� with Brett whispering “I was in [the video].� “I do have to say that I think David enjoyed playing the Spectrum,� she admitted.

ny diligent mom, dad, grandparent or caretaker can delve through hundreds of “School Progress Reports,� issued by the School District of Philadelphia, to check in on the quality of 17 elementary schools and eight secondary schools south of South Street. They’re all online on the School District’s website. But I poured through 25 school report cards to see who’s rising and sitting at the top and who’s pulling up the rear. There are four categorical performance tiers to measure scores: Intervene (0-24%); Watch (25-49%); Reinforce (50-74%); and Model (75-100%). Each school is graded in four categories (five for the high schools): Overall; Achievement; Progress; and Climate (plus College & Career). A handful of schools were given the distinction of “Peer Leader� in any of those four or five categories and the results may surprise you. Even a couple schools were distinguished with “City Leader� status. If a school received a number of Intervene scores and/or zero Model scores, for our purposes, we’re categorizing them as poor: Chester Arthur, 2000 Catharine St.; Amedee Bregy, 1700 Bigler St.; and Stephen Girard, 1800 Snyder Ave., in the K-8 category; and Horace Furness, 1900 S. Third St.; Mastery Charter at Thomas Campus, 927 Johnston St.; and Universal Audenried Charter, 3301 Tasker St., fell into that least-desirable category.

She’d know – she saw him nearly 120 times and has the stubs to prove it. She’s lost a few jobs following him and his band around the country. And, she says, he was exceptional when he was at the bygone Spectrum – “he never seemed as happy as he did at the Spectrum. There was just such a special bond between him and Philadelphia, so whenever he played [here], it just couldn’t help but come through.� He even kicked off his ’87 Glass Spider tour at the Spectrum, and all of the world’s media was here to witness the spectacle. “He made it OK to be who you are,� Brett said. “He helped so many people become who they are today.� Brett shooed away unknowing patrons who were trying to feed the jukebox machine to play the Smiths and T. Rex. She taped a handwritten sign to the jukebox that essentially said ‘Only Bowie Tonight.’

“Yep, I was there‌ way back!â€? Brian Laurence, the youngest of four brothers who lives on the 1500 block of South Broad Street, said. He’s come to be near Patti, as well, and “Five Yearsâ€? is his pick for favorite. He was at the Spectrum in the ’70s, too. Gabriela Zoller, a resident of the 1800 block of Sigel Street, was at Doobie’s Monday night with her friend Nancy Leeman. “He’s probably the most original performer; he was so uniquely himself,â€? the Point Breeze resident said. She has the album cover for Bowie’s single “Changes,â€? off 1971’s Hunky Dory, in her window. Leeman’s worked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art long enough to have witnessed a Bowie visit to the PMA’s collection, mostly for Marcel Duchamp’s work. “We were told not to bother him, but we only had eyes for Bowie,â€? she recalled. Throughout Monday, Brett found sentiments in chalk on the Doobie’s sidewalk, flowers stuffed into a Christmas wreath. She got a call from Bowie’s right-handman and tour guistarist Carlos Alomar’s wife, Robin Clark, both staples in Bowie’s band throughout the Sigma days. Leeman, who says she’s been coming here since the ’90s, exchanged cash for a beer and told Brett “You’re the first person I thought ofâ€? when she heard the news. Brett shrugged and said “there’s no other place to be right now.â€? SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

What could be considered passable or middle-of-the-road schools, with fewer Intervene warnings and more Reinforce or Watch scores, include: G.W. Childs, 1599 Wharton St.; Sharswood, 2300 S. Second St.; Southwark, 1825 S. Ninth St.; E.M. Stanton, 1700 Christian St.; Universal Charter at Acorn, 3200 Dickinson St.; and Vare-Washington, 1198 S. Fifth St. fall into this category; only Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, 2600 S. Broad St., which is only grades 9 and 10, fell into this category but did receive a “City Leader� and “Peer Leader� status in Climate. The clearest winners are the K-8 schools with many accolades and robust praise: Christopher Columbus Charter, 916 Christian St. (a two-time Peer Leader Overall and in Climate); D. Newlin Fell, 900 W. Oregon Ave.; Andrew Jackson, 1213 S. 12th St. (a Peer Leader in Progress); Francis S. Key, 2230 S. Eighth St. (a City and Peer Leader in Climate); Kirkbride, 1501 S. Seventh St. (a Peer Leader three times over); Meredith, 725 S. Fifth St.; and Nebinger, 601 Carpenter St. rounds out K-8 as a Peer Leader in Achievement; while Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Christian St. is a two-time Peer Leader Overall and in Achievement; Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St.; and the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., which got Peer Leader status for its College & Career placement scores. -Bill Chenevert SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

PALUMBO continued from page 1 makes [Muslims] seem violent because that’s all they talk about.� Ahmad Ahmad, a freshman who led me to the library from the ground floor, spoke on the notion that Muslims and others who worship Allah need not look alike. “Everyone thinks I’m Spanish. I never knew religion had a face,� he said, with his classmates quietly snapping their fingers. “You don’t go up to someone and say ‘Oh, you look Buddhist or you look Christian.’ I could be a Buddhist and go shoot someone in the face, but that doesn’t mean I practice the true religion of Buddhism.� “Where is home? The hospital I was born? Where is home? The house that I live in?� Ijanae Alexander, a junior hitting home the fact that she’s been accosted, regularly, with the command to go back to where she’s from, asked. “I was born in Philadelphia, I was born in the States. Where else is home?� Nearly every student on the panel shared a story of feeling scared or threatened by strangers. “They’re amazing with their willingness to sit in front of so many of their classmates,� Ali-Khan, clearly inspired by their bravery and honesty in the face of nearly 100 to 200 peers, said. “It’s amazing that, in a public school, there’s a space to do that.�

SOPHOMORE IMDAD ALVEE, who often goes by his last name as a nickname, gave a proper breakdown of the tenets of Islamic faith. “Basically, Islam is an Arabic word meaning peace and submission,� he began, and ran through the five tenets: “Faith in only one god – faith in angels and the prophets and the [sacred texts], you have to have faith in the afterlife and you also have to have faith in destiny�; “Pray five times a day and with good intentions, not

because my mom made me, you have to have the right mind and good intentions�; “Fasting because we want to all be equal at [Ramadan], it’s a month when we all become brothers and sisters and help the needy�; “Charity, we donate money to the needy, donate to the poor and it doesn’t have to be Muslims�; and a pilgrimage to Mecca. Alvee had a close friend, years ago, who never knew of his religion. He asked his friend “yo, what do you think of the religion Islam and the people that follow it?� His friend replied “the first thing that comes to mind is a terrorist, they bomb people, and their main objective is to destroy the world.�

“Bro, I’m Muslim,� he replied to his friend. But the response was embarrassment and shame – “he became emotional. ‘Alvee, forgive me,’� he recalled. Weeks later his friend actually found faith in Allah and before he finished his thoughts, Alvee said “I want to bless him and keep him on a safe path because I never thought a person could change like that.� Junior Ndeen Al-Barwaki also made a powerful point. “One of the main things I find ironic about being called a terrorist,� she said, “you’re always the one ending up scared. You’re always the one where you feel hurt and someone’s coming at you and generalizing. A lot of people tend to make jokes

about airports and terrorists ‌ I think that that eats at you eventually.â€? A small freshman in a hijab, Fahim Shobarna, also told a similarly sad story of harassment. “You, the one with the blue backpack, you f*cking terroristâ€? she recalled (not using the F-word and with a shaky voice). “I got onto the train, and I started crying. It impacted me so badly, I was crying.â€? Mariama Gackou, another freshman, started wearing a hijab in preschool and, around sixth grade, she started getting bullied with classmates calling her “the terrorist.â€? “It was horrible, I was heartbroken,â€? she said. Freshman Tasfia Richi told the story of being accosted in a store for her hijab. And of watching the news recently, and the sadness that poured out of her from her younger sister’s reaction. “They portrayed Muslims as if they were monsters and would attack you. My little sister came to me and said ‘I don’t want to wear the hijab when I grow up’,â€? Richi recalled. “Why?â€? she asked. “‘They will hurt me. The people on the TV said they hate Muslims.’ If I was in her place, I would say and feel the exact same thing. They call us terrorists and they’re terrorizing my little sister.â€? Principal Kiana Thompson sent the crowded library off into the night with positive affirmations. “I would like to thank our beautiful rainbow that is our panel. I’m so happy that so many of you came out to show support for your peers, and we are here to try to teach tolerance and celebrate diversity,â€? she said. “This is another example of that, and I’m so proud my students are able to understand that.â€?

tings, including comprehension of soft skills. Simply and sincerely, improving their exposure to such places is a great investment of public dollars.� Gemmell comes to her position, which became completely official upon Kenney’s Jan. 4 inauguration, having served for the last two years as the Southeast PA Field Director with the Pre-K for PA advocacy campaign at Public Citizens for Children and Youth. Through the combination of that role, her co-founder status for Education Voters Pennsylvania, and former duty as the political director for the community-based coalition supported by the Service Employees International Union’s Fight for a Fair Economy, also known as Fight for Philly, the new mayoral office occupant will find in Gemmell a tireless advocate for meshing what statistics and studies consistently show regarding the value of solid educational options and appreciation for the potential in every young mind. “I’ve caught a great wave,� she said of the timeliness surrounding her lifelong devotion to nourishing the future and her present lot in life. “Young people possess an exuberance that is refreshing. How

could I not love this advocacy work and this exciting chance to interact with people who feel the same? There is so much at stake, and I’m up for taking it all on.� GEMMELL HAS COME to command clout as a voice for burgeoning brains, but she began her professional journey instructing high school students, including registrants at Edward Bok Technical High School, formerly 1901 S. Ninth St. With devotions to history and political science developing early on, she knew the seeds for a deeper understanding of the link between governments and classrooms were waiting for her to plant them whenever she felt prepared. “It can be complex and frustrating to address how one affects the other, but it’s always worth it,� the Haddon Heights native said. “It’s become especially important for me to make families aware of systemic changes so that they can be better informed. Again, that can be tough because young parents are so busy and not often as engaged in the political universe as folks who have two or three decades on them, but these talks and the outreach are of the utmost importance.�

Leaving high school instruction in 2007, Gemmell, a 1997 James Madison Graduate Fellowship recipient who at Villanova University made great use of the endowment that assists honorees in becoming American Constitution instructors at the secondary level, co-founded Education Voters Pennsylvania with Susan Gobreski, setting herself to tackling policy and advocacy throughout the commonwealth. Returning to the classroom at Mastery Charter School’s Shoemaker Campus, she became even more enamored with directly molding perceptions of contemporary society and contends that age is far more than a number. “There is never a moment where anyone should think this is another person’s battle to fight or cause to promote,� Gemmell, the mother of two teenagers and a 12-year-old, said of organizing diverse opinions on how to encourage wise life decisions through high-quality pre-K, which, as she stated in a Mark 2014 NewsWorks piece, “can reduce the effects of toxic stress from abuse and neglect.� “In my role, I want to strengthen the network of quality providers because when anyone looks at Philadelphia, it’s

easy to see there are some trouble spots. It should be equally easy to be aware of a world far beyond the belief that innercity populations have to be stuck with lackluster choices.� Nearing the end of her second week under Kenney, Gemmell looks forward to building current connections and establishing new relationships, feeling that no matter the diversity among the city’s population, everyone can agree that helping to craft hope-filled days for the city’s young citizens will benefit the vitality of every household and neighborhood. “I love living in this city,� Gemmell, who coaches girls’ hoops for the Taney Youth Basketball Association, adores trips to the South 9th Street Italian Market, serves on the board for Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St., and counts herself as a proud William M. Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St., mom, said. “The time is right to take my enthusiasm and that of others and make something durable.� SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview. com or ext. 124.

Parade concerns

the problem it created (note to Finnegan’s - stop trying to justify the skit and move on). If the brigade follows through, I would not impose a suspension from the parade; a fine would be sufficient. There is a danger in the pre-screening process. The parade has a history of satirizing local and national politicians, as well as other events that have occurred during the year. I would hope that in the interest of not offending the powerful, that the screening committee does not go overboard in sanitizing the Comics. Yes, the overseers should be wary of eliminating satire in the interest of political correctness. This thing works both ways. The right balance has to be found so that all the edgy humor is not eliminated from the parade, otherwise we’re in danger of turning the Mummers Parade into the Rose Bowl Parade. There is an edge to Philadelphians, and it is not wrong just because of some missteps in the past to take that away from the Mummers. At this late date in the city’s history, the Mummers Parade is going through some growing pains. The parade has grown from one that involved only some regions of the city to something that is becoming an intrinsic treasure owned by the entire metropolis. It is not too grandiose to think that the event is taking its place alongside the historical attractions of Philadelphia as a reason to want to visit here. The growing pains have not all been pleasant. All one has to do is to walk along South Broad Street past Methodist Hospital on New Year’s Day, an area in past years bustling with excitement and now pretty much deserted. We know how high the price is that has been paid to bring the parade into a new era. We can almost see the ghosts of the familiar faces that used to line this area every New Year’s Day and if you’re like me, your heart sinks. But this column is about the future. The parade will learn from its mistakes. The line between satire and crassness will become more clear for club members and fans. In the meantime, the terrible price that social media extracts for mistakes will have to be borne; the tricky road of Twitter, Facebook, and the other outlets will require steady navigation. In the midst of the controversy caused by the Jenner theme and some scattered incidents, let’s not forget the magnificence of the pageantry and color that were the heart of the 2016 Mummers Parade and all of the hard work that went into making this New Year’s Day event an overwhelming success. Even from my basement couch, I could appreciate the spectacle. Uncle Nunzi thought that with all the male marchers wearing makeup that it was a parade honoring the transgender community. Maybe, in a way, it was. SPR

y way of background, I have never marched in the Mummers Parade, though my father and some uncles and cousins proudly did. Although I spent a number of years watching bowl games instead of going out on Broad Street on New Year’s Day, as I’ve grown older, I have come to appreciate the rich history of what this parade means to Philadelphia. I am not a parade hater nor am I someone who thinks it is beyond improvement. Because of illness, this New Year’s Day I spent watching the parade on TV. It is most unfortunate that in a year that was supposed to celebrate diversity, a couple of incidents spoiled it and have become the dominant theme of local and national media coverage. The Finnegan New Year’s Brigade mocked the Jenner transformation from Bruce to Caitlyn. Apparently, whoever chose the theme at Finnegan’s thought placing Caitlyn on a box of Froot Loops was a grand idea, and all hell has broken loose that the brigade insulted transgender folks everywhere. Members of the Comic Division have sometimes showed a flair for sharp, funny satire, but the Jenner piece wasn’t it. It didn’t help that another group thought it would be just swell if when depicting Mexicans, they marched as tacos in brown face. Not everybody knows where the line from clever satire crosses into the crude and offensive. There’s a veritable army of people in America today who believe that everything is fair game in stereotyping you and when you try to stop them, they sneeringly label you “politically correct.� The question has now become what to do about these transgressions so they don’t happen again. First, a word here about Finnegan’s reaction; reports are that the brigade has reached out to the LGBT community and the Philadelphia Gay News. The member of the club who shouted out gay slurs was reportedly dismissed. Finnegan’s Mike Inemer Sr. is talking about doing a fundraiser for the LGBT community. Wise and appropriate moves all. Our new mayor, Jim Kenney, is a former mummer and as such is perfectly positioned to make a prudent call on future measures. Pre-screening of acts is inevitable and probably should’ve already been taking place once it was decided this wonderful parade is as big a part of our city’s culture as the Mardi Gras is to New Orleans. Finnegan’s seems Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ to be making a good faith effort to address cardella.

The Board of Trustees would like to extend their congratulations to the Faculty, Staff, Students, Parents, and Administration for being acknowledged by the School District of Philadelphia as one of the “peer leaders� as reported by the “School Progress Report�.

Over the hump

ey, remember me? It’s Old Man Winter, and I am my typical blustery self. Though I should not be doing this out of fear that you will think I have become a softie (I have a reputation as a harsh fellow to protect, after all), I recruited Debbie Robb to grace you with a recipe, so for your chewing pleasure, here is her Creamy Tomato Soup concoction. The resident of the 300 block of Mercy Street always shares with you her kitchen creations, and I have to say that though I find making folks frigid fascinating, I admire those who have warm enough hearts to remind you to eat your vegetables. Maybe I will see if she will even let me have a bowl. Keep that between us, please. Jack Frost would shoot me a chilling look if he were to find out. SPR

appy hour has become as popular as Sunday brunch. It seems every restaurant, from pubs to casual spots and high-end places, is offering lower prices during a set time. If diners want to take advantage of the Oyster House’s “buck a shuck� from 5 to 7 pm, they must get there a bit before 5 to snag a seat. I always do. I was not surprised to discover that The Olde Bar offers buck a shuck oysters and inexpensive bar incentives as well. Jose Garces purchased Old Original Bookbinders at Second and Walnut Streets a few years ago. I was intrigued to see what type of menu he and his chef put together. The restaurant opened in the late 19th century. I believe it is an historical landmark, and little can be done to change it. The original floor and tin ceiling are intact. A long wood bar, high top tables and comfortable booths fill one room. The place was packed at 5:30, so we were fortunate there was an available booth. The staff members are knowledgeable and explain everything without a song and dance. Cocktails ($11 and $16) are small. The buck a shuck option for the evening were Delaware Bay beauties. These oysters were plump and slightly briny. They arrived on a large mound of crushed ice with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce (heaven forbid) and mignonette sauce, which I like. We easily enjoyed two dozen. New England clam chowder ($9) was brimming with meaty clams, potatoes, crispy shallots, and the right touch of cream. Snapper soup ($12) is another favorite from my childhood. It imparted a rich flavor that I liked. A dash of dry sherry is traditional. A server brought us a whipped concoction laced with it. We placed a dollop in the snapper soup and easily finished it. Both soups were superb but the portions were small for the price. Homemade Parker House rolls topped with softened butter and flakes of sea salt arrived in a cast iron pan. This all-American bread was fitting for The Olde Bar. Many restaurants offer a wedge salad. This version ($11) was okay. The iceberg could have been a bit colder, but I liked the homemade blue cheese dressing. One standout was the Brussels sprouts ($8). Almost every restaurant in the city offers them. These little cabbages were roasted with a myriad of fresh herbs and grated lemon zest. There was not a bitter one in the bowl, and the portion was big enough for two. Next up was fish and chips ($18). Cod is the fish of choice at The Olde Bar, and it is probably the best choice for this classic dish. Cod is mild and meaty. A few pieces were dipped in a batter and

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

fried until golden brown. A sprinkling of salt was necessary to give the fish a bit of pep. The chips were fried in beef fat; this is a Garces creation. Frying French fries in beef fat affords an unusual yet pleasant flavor. I found them too salty and thought the inside tasted more like a baked potato than a French fried potato. I was disappointed with the fried oysters ($15). A long, narrow rectangular plate served as the vessel for about eight tiny bits of oysters that were coated in a heavy, tasteless batter. Even a good dash of salt did little to wake them up. I kept comparing them to The Oyster House’s stellar version. Happy hour wines by the glass are a bargain. We sipped a California Chardonnay ($5) and a large glass of Staff’s Choice beer on draft ($4). I noticed the majority of people in the filled dining room were tucking into oysters and sipping beer or wine during happy hour. It is a tasty deal. In fact, I would return for oysters and a glass of wine and perhaps see a movie and go to another restaurant for a burger or light meal. Strawberry shortcake was a signature dessert at Old Original Bookbinders. Large towering cakes sat in the window for passersby to see easily. The Olde Bar’s version ($13) was a small, round, individual cake that was more akin to a cheesecake than strawberry shortcake. We toted it home to enjoy something sweet. A portion of the proceeds from every cheesecake sold goes to the Garces Foundation. Service was top-notch. Even the dining room manager was helping to serve and clear, which is the sign of a well-run organization. Three tips of the toque to The Olde Bar. SPR

Miss Rachel’s Pantry’s Black Bean Cornbread Soup

eightened awareness of the power behind healthy lifestyle decisions should receive praise regardless of the age at which someone obtains it. Being well-informed at a very young age can often prove rare, thus making realizations that much more valuable. At five, Rachel Klein adopted a vegetarian diet, a move that initiated her entry into the world of cooking. Switching to a vegan regimen in 2008, she has found herself amazed with the provisions she can prepare and shares that enthusiasm through her eponymous establishment, Miss Rachel’s Pantry, 1938 S. Chadwick St. “Philadelphia has a pretty big vegan scene, so I love contributing to that,� the 30-year-old said from her Newbold business. “I especially love being in this neighborhood because of the visibility and the opportunity to make great connections with our customers.� The Bucks County native and husband Michael Romeo helm and reside not far from the sevenmonth-old brainchild. Adhering to her Jewish heritage, Klein unites kosher practices with her vegan allegiance at the buzzworthy space through which she hosts 12-seat dinners every Saturday and select Fridays and offers goods through a market setup every Friday through Sunday. Loving that dual existence, the Newbold inhabitant holds that her pantry has unfolded organically and has bred a devout appreciation for her good fortune. “I love cooking and interacting with people,� Klein, who studied public relations at Temple University, said. “I feel comfortable and confident being open as a walk-in business, and I’m thankful for the opportunities to make such big commitments to the Saturday meals.� She and Romeo moved operations from 1732 W. Passyunk Ave. last summer, with the added space allotting her more freedom. The culinary playground has helped to inspire numerous delights, including her Black Bean Cornbread Soup. “People have notions of what this soup should be,� Klein noted. “This matches most of those, but it’s a little different. For example, it’s a thick and creamy soup with no cream.� A recent philly.com article stated 2016 could

become the Year of the Vegan and lauded the local spot’s cheese spreads. No matter what one chooses, losing reliance on animal products means gaining dependence on experimentation. “I make what’s comfortable and familiar but with very important adjustments,� Klein said. “To each his own with what you eat. We’re here if you want to try a new way of life or if you’re already committed to the vegan lifestyle.�

DIRECTIONS: In a medium sauce pot, stir fry the onion and the garlic in the oil for two to three minutes over medium heat until the former is translucent. Add the beans, tomatoes, and water, and crumble the cornbread into the pot. Add the seasonings, mix well, and bring to a slow boil. Reduce to medium heat, and cook until the onions are tender and the cornbread is completely soft. Transfer the mixture to a blender, or blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Garnish with cornbread crumbles. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/features.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Don’t h complain about the week’s slow start, as plenty will soon keep you busy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Secrecy A from a partner or your best friend confuses you. At least you will be honest about your feelings.

Lucky number: 356. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): In a fit of D temper, you could spell things out too bluntly. Consider how a thoughtless remark can create more tension in a relationship.

o matter the endeavor, be it picking up crucial yards on the football field, preparing for a huge test, lending his wisdom as senior class president, or organizing a community service opportunity, Deen Whitaker loves to give his best effort, deeming the execution of leadership an endearing enterprise. Thanks to a terrific year on the gridiron and achievements in his other pursuits, the Maxwell Football Club will honor the student from The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., tonight through its Mini Max High School Awards celebration. “I’m very humbled to have the recognition,� the West Oak Lane dweller said Monday from his Hawthorne institution of being among the 61 honorees, including Whitman denizens Kenny Bergmann Jr. and Joe DuMond, of William Penn Charter and Saint Joseph’s Preparatory schools, respectively. “I learned of it in December, and it’s still so amazing to me.� Whitaker and the other recipients will join Maxwell Football Club president and former Eagles great Ron Jaworski at the Drexel Hill-situated Drexelbrook Catering Ballroom. Along with lauding athletes from Eastern Pennsylvania’s first, third, 11th, and 12th districts, the overseers will tab one teenager the state high school player of the year. “I’ll be blunt in saying I want to win,� Whitaker, whom coach Scott Pitzner nominated for his aforementioned prowess in multiple areas, said. “The scholarship help would be great because I consider myself a true student-athlete and want to do well academically at the next level.� The 18-year-old led the Griffins in rushing attempts (106), rushing and receiving yards (681 and 94), touchdowns (11), and scoring (66 points) last

ness High School, 1900 S. Third St., under 2010 South Philly Review Difference Maker Anthony Pastore. Though the Griffins became a Public League constituent ahead of his junior year, he elected not to play, focusing instead on track. When last summer rolled around, though, he had to plot his return to participating in huddles and gladly became one of Pitzner’s charges. “He’s a great coach,â€? Whitaker said of the East Passyunk Crossing resident. “He was always there for me this season, and I think we all really bonded under his leadership.â€? The team’s maturation included league triumphs over KIPP DuBois, a 20-14 homecoming success, and a 38-6 thrashing of Strawberry Mansion. Regardless of the foe or its pedigree, Whitaker encouraged his contemporaries to keep their focus on every snap, with such dedication being a key component of what the Maxwell folks will be evaluating in naming the state’s top player. 2SS\ EVWbOYS` VSZ^SR BVS /QORS[g Ob >OZc[P]¸a T]]bPOZZ bSO[ b] U] T`][ “No matter what happens, I’m happy ]\S eW\ W\ " b] bV`SS ZOab aSOa]\ that I’ll have great people there with P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u me,â€?
