The devoted advocates

Thoughts on the commission report To the Editor: I’ve received hundreds of e-mails about the report of our Blue Ribbon Commission on Catholic Education. It calls for the closing or merger of dozens of our archdiocesan schools. Philadelphia has a long and venerable Catholic school tradition. So it’s no surprise that, while quite a few e-mails have expressed support, many more have been filled with confusion, anger and grief. This is natural. In fact, it would be abnormal and very troubling if people didn’t vent their feelings on a matter so close to the heart of Philadelphia Catholics. But as tempers begin to cool, people read the report more closely, and schools consider appealing the commission’s recommendations, we should keep a few basic facts in mind. First, the Blue Ribbon Commission Report is not finally about “closing schools.” It’s about putting Catholic education on a firm footing for the first time in decades. We tend to avoid this unpleasant work for understandable reasons: It can’t be done without suffering, and nobody wants to be the cause of other good people’s pain. But the work needs to be done. It can’t be delayed. Commission members have served all of us well by speaking truthfully — and offering genuine hope for the future — about enrollment and financial realities nobody wants to face. The resource challenges we face in 2012 are much harsher than 40 or 50 years ago when many of us attended Catholic school. No family can run on nostalgia and red ink. Every parent knows this from experience. And so it is with the Church. We have a moral duty to use our resources wisely, not just in education, but in every aspect of our life as a believing community. If we haven’t always done that in the past, then we need to start now. Catholic schools are worth fighting for because they do an extraordinary job of educating young people. We need to ensure that our schools are vigorously Catholic; academically excellent; and serve our people for decades to come. But we need to do it wisely and creatively, enlisting all the outside help we can. The Blue Ribbon Commission Report is a vital step toward a strategic renewal of Catholic education in the archdiocese, which is why it’s a step forward. Second, I’m very aware of the burdens many families and teachers will face because of the commission’s

recommendations. This was the hardest part of the commission’s deliberations, especially since every commission member has a long track record of service to the church and a personal love for Catholic schools. I want to assure our people that the archdiocese will make every reasonable effort to place students and teachers in new positions and to assist those teachers who will lose their employment. No one will be ignored. Third, one of the bright spots of a difficult week has been the number of business leaders and elected officials who have approached me privately to voice their support for Catholic schools and offer their help going forward. So maybe this is a moment when we can start imagining and doing the future differently. It’s useful to wonder how many of our schools might have been saved if, over the last decade, Catholics had fought for vouchers as loudly and vigorously as they now grieve about school closings. Some Catholics – too many — seem to find it easier to criticize their own leaders than to face the fact that they’re discriminated against every day of the year. They pay once for public schools; then they pay again for the Catholic schools they rightly hold in such esteem. Something’s wrong with that equation. It’s important for Catholics to hold the leadership of their church accountable. No bishop or pastor should fear that. But Catholics should hold public leaders — beginning with our elected officials in Harrisburg — to an equally demanding standard. School choice may not answer every financial challenge in Catholic education; but vouchers would make a decisive difference. They’d help our schools enormously. To put it simply: Vouchers are a matter of parental rights and basic justice. Fourth and finally, in the weeks ahead, as emotions subside, let’s remember that all of us have the duty to treat each other with charity and civility in Jesus Christ. The Blue Ribbon Commission members who worked so selflessly on the report, along with many members of our archdiocesan staff, did their service with extraordinary dedication, integrity and concern for the needs of our people. They deserve our thanks and respect. They do not deserve the bitter — and unjust — criticism some parents and students have shown them. Catholic schools exist, first and

foremost, to form believing Catholic Christians; people of the Gospel; people of justice, mercy and charity. If they produce something less, then we need to ask ourselves whether they deserve to survive. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput Archdiocese of Philadelphia

Vouching for the state To the Editor: Thanks to reporter Joseph Myers for giving us the details of the plans to consolidate Catholic schools in South Philly (“Short division,” Jan. 12). My own parish school, Annunciation, B.V.M. is one of them. Of course we are all dismayed at this news. Soon after, and at the suggestion of the Blue Ribbon Commission, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput urged Catholic school parents to petition their representatives in Harrisburg to pass a voucher bill that he hopes will benefit the cash-strapped parochial system. First of all, the proposed voucher bill, which failed to pass the legislature last year, was meant to enable the poorest children in the poorest performing public schools to transfer to another school, public or private. It was never intended to pay tuition for middle class Catholic children already enrolled in parochial schools nor to give their parents tax credit for such tuition. The archbishop needs to check out the Pennsylvania Constitution, Article III, Section 15 clearly says: “No money raised for the support of the public schools of the Commonwealth shall be appropriated to or used for the support of any sectarian school.” Choosing a Catholic school education is a right not an obligation. Asking the state to pay for it would be just like asking them to buy us books so we do not have to use the public library, a false hope. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

For the record In the Jan. 12 story “Short division,” Annunciation parish has a surplus of $207,268. SPR

Alleged killer behind bars

Police have arrested a man believed to be responsible for the deaths of two Passyunk Square residents. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

ust three days after two locals were stabbed to death, police apprehended a suspect. Omar Johnson, 31, was arrested at 11:45 a.m. Friday when authorities spotted him at Broad and Moore streets, Homicide Capt. James Clark said during Friday’s press conference at police headquarters. He resisted arrest, but Omar Johnson was taken into custody after a brief struggle. Although police originally reported him to be from the 2600 block of South Bancroft Street, Johnson is from the 1500 block of Conlyn Street in North Philly. Johnson was charged with two counts of murder for allegedly killing Eugene Zappacosta, 78, and Janet Burgess, 50, both of the 1300 block of Dickinson Street. Both, Clark said, were “brutally stabbed to death along with two small puppies who were also stabbed and bludgeoned to death.” He is believed to have had a verbal confrontation of an unknown nature with Burgess in Zappacosta’s Passyunk Square apartment, which was where she was staying, at about 9:52 a.m. Jan. 10, Clark said. The fight turned physical and Johnson is believed to have grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Burgess multiple times. When Zappacosta tried to intervene, he also was killed. The dogs were barking loudly and are believed to have become victims as well in order to not tip off neighbors. Formerly of the 2500 block of Federal Street, Johnson also was charged with two counts each of causing catastrophe, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and one count of resisting arrest. He was held without bail, according to court records. He previously has pled guilty or been convicted of various drug, robbery and forgery charges dating back to 1995 and spanning Philadelphia, Delaware and Lehigh counties, according to court records.

Arrest in bloody brawl Police have arrested a South Jersey man who allegedly assaulted New York Ranger

fans following the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic. Authorities identified Dennis Veteri, 32, as one of the men who allegedly attacked two men outside of Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., at 7:15 p.m. Jan. 2, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. The Glassboro N.J. native Dennis Veteri surrendered to South Detective Division, 2301 S. 24th St., Jan. 12. He was charged with two counts each of aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. He was arraigned at about 2 a.m. Jan. 13 at which time bail was set at $100,000, according to court records. The District Attorney’s Office appealed his bail asking that it be increased. At 11 a.m. yesterday, Common Pleas Court Judge Paula A. Patrick raised his bail to $400,000. He was rearrested but posted 10 percent of that figure yesterday. Veteri and two other men allegedly attacked a 30-year-old off-duty north Jersey officer, who is a two-tour Iraqi decorated war veteran and lost a piece of his calf in a sniper attack, and his 26-year-old friend. The former was not the instigator, South Detective Division Captain Larry Nodiff said Tuesday. “When you view the video, you see that he was not an aggressor,” he said. Veteri pled guilty to a 1998 assault and served three years on probation, according to court records. While the younger victim did not seek medical treatment, a private vehicle transported the veteran to a north Jersey hospital for facial contusions, a concussion and a fractured orbital for which he will undergo facial reconstructive surgery next week, Nodiff said. “As of last week when I talked to him, he still had blood in the whites of his eyes from the brutal beating and he had a laceration on his face that looked like about five sutures closing the laceration, so he was beaten very viciously and severely,” he said. While there have not been any other arrests, police are investigating two other suspects, Nodiff said. “At this time, we do not have any additional arrest warrants, but we continue to focus on two other prime suspects,” he said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

Workers’ Comp. Q&A

A law to prevent ex-offenders from being discriminated against when looking to gain employment went into effect Friday. The Fair Criminal Record Screening Standards, or “Ban the Box” ordinance, which Mayor Michael Nutter signed in April, prohibits employers with 10 or more workers from asking about an applicant’s criminal record until after the initial interview. Violators can receive up to a $2,000 fine. Criminal justice agencies and other companies mandated by state or federal law to consider criminal histories of applicants are exempt from this law. “We’re working every day to offer a level playing field to qualified individuals who have paid their debt to society,” Nutter said. “Everyone deserves an opportunity to work to provide for their families and should not be discriminated against before they even have a first interview. Offering jobs to ex-offenders improves the quality of life for all Philadelphians, and this ordinance is an important aspect of our overall job and public safety strategy.” SPR

Opportunity for ex-offenders

A fter

Police are seeking a man who is preying on women inside a condominium parking facility in the Newbold/Point Breeze section. “[The incidents] are all in the parking garage there and they are all robberies of women who are minding their own business coming home, parking their cars when they’re set upon by this predator,” South Detective Division Captain Larry Nodiff said Tuesday. The latest of three known robberies in the elevated parking garage at the Marine Club Condominiums, 1100 S. Broad St., occurred at 6:55 p.m. Jan. 12 on the second floor after a 26-year-old woman parked her auto in the garage, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The offender pushed her back into the car and demanded cash. She handed over $100 from her wallet and then the thief requested gold jewelry or electronics, but she did not have any. He told her, “I’m not going to hurt you” and swiped her cell phone, which had dropped to the ground, before fleeing in an unknown direction. The same man is believed to have come up behind a 40-year-old woman in the facility at 10:55 p.m. Dec. 11, 2011, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. Armed with a knife, he commanded money and fled down a staircase and exited the building on 15th Street with a laptop and $60. He is believed to have first struck at 9 p.m. Sept. 26, ’11 on the third-floor of the garage when he shoved a 28-year-old woman into her car, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. However she fought him and he fled to the second level. The offender was described as black with a dark complexion, age 40 to 50, 5-foot-8 and having a gray and black beard although he was clean shaven during the first offense. He was wearing black overalls, a black shirt with an unknown logo and tan gloves in the most recent incident and a camouflage jacket over a gray hoody and a tan cap in the first.

A Point Breeze man was gunned down after an afternoon argument in West Passyunk last week. Hassan Dingle, 20, of the 1800 block of South 24th Street, received a bullet to his head at 4 p.m. Jan. 10 on the 1900 block of South 20th Street, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. He was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he died at 1 p.m. the next day. Police did not know the nature of the argument or have any suspects at press time.

MLK DAY continued from page 1 ing school’s year-old Anti-Defamation League chapter that owes its existence to the nonprofit’s partnership with PECO, which brought more than 80 employees to make the host’s inaugural attempt to honor the activist a vibrant event. “I thought it would be a great idea to coordinate this for us to achieve our common goal, the appreciation of diversity,” Parker said within a few feet of the sixth floor eating area, which received its first fresh coatings in seven years. He split time between the space and the girls’ gymnasium, where Delia King, a 10-year employee of the City of Philadelphia Murals Arts Program, led her boss Jane Golden, Lisa Nutter, PECO personnel and students in devising 16 pieces that will morph to form a corridor-situated lesson on inclusivity. PECO has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the AntiDefamation League, and the two banded together to adopt Bok as a No Place For Hate School early last year. Active in 160 schools, the initiative has helped institutions since 2005, enabling them to combat bullying and intolerance to foster cultural acceptance. “My motivation was hostility among races here,” Parker said as an eclectic crowd reached for containers of paint and brushes. Mural Arts has spent eight years buddying with South Philly facilities, with many endeavors occurring at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., Golden, its executive director, said. Showing her dexterity, she added several colors to a panel as her employee encouraged the artists, who used numbers on cups and their surfaces to know which hues to choose. “We are recognizing similarities and celebrating differences,” King said as deep shades of blue and gold met the painters’ papers. She drew inspiration for her acknowledgment of life at Bok from its Art Deco architecture and proposed to make a mandala. The two-dimensional design figures prominently in sacred art within Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions and aims to endow viewers with a sense of peace. With student input, she took three months to finalize its components, including silhouettes of the assisting pupils. Monday’s work involved welcoming at least 13 tints for the first coating. Nimble fingers devoted nearly three hours to the project, with King to return tomorrow to put on a second coat. She expects completion by the end of February, and if Monday’s activities seemed colorful, they are destined to pale in comparison to the final work. “It may have hundreds of colors,” King, who likened the diverse elements of pattern making to the numerous aspects of

PECO employee Ed McBride and Bok senior Boaz Parker, fifth and sixth from left respectively, helped other inspired attendees to make the holiday morning a respectful homage to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parker and more than a dozen of his schoolmates are constructing a piece that reflects their school’s diversity. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

being human so as to promote compassion no matter one’s makeup, said. The creation’s dimensions will aim to offer staff, students and visitors irrefutable proof of Bok’s stance on the coexistence of various populations. The piece will feature two 11-foot long walls and two 17foot wide structures. “This is a dream come true,” King said of teaming her passion with Bok’s interior. Her helpers seemed equally enthused. The PECO volunteers chuckled as they made a brief return to childhood through painting by numbers, and the learners, whom co-principal Barbara McCreery selected through their involvement in the Anti-Defamation League group and infatuation with art, cared not one bit about sacrificing a day off. “The school needed a face-lift,” senior Brandon Chan said. A resident of the 600 block of Snyder Avenue, he cited deterioration of aesthetics as his involvement’s chief motivator. A member of the Anti-Defamation League force, he also joined Parker in balancing mural making and cafeteria tidying. “It is great to help,” he said. “Every bit of initiative builds communities.” AS A NO Place For Hate School, Bok will bond with PECO for three tasks. Monday marked the duo’s second collaboration, with last June’s Diversity Job Shadowing

Day sending the students to Center City for information on PECO and their possible role in its future. The final element, a diversity-themed comic book, is nearing completion and adds Mural Arts to the list of responsible parties. “Our core values are safety, diversity and inclusion,” PECO’s spokesman Ben Armstrong said as he stressed the strength of his company’s interaction with Bok. His young allies showed they share those concepts as they addressed the cafeteria. “The kids are going to be shocked,” McCreery, who runs the school with co-principal Dr. Larry Melton, said of expected reactions. The space consists of two areas, with one serving as the distribution and seating center for the four lunch periods and the other having served the same function through last school year. Sufficient seating made having two meal zones unnecessary, so McCreery set her mind to finding use for the second stretch. With sufficient strokes that made light work of their task, her pupils worked with the PECO representatives to apply light blue tones to all of the walls. Courtesy of their diligence, McCreery may be able to exact a plan much faster than she had expected. “This is going to be the Bok Cafe,” she said of the unused spot. It will include tables for students to test their mental might in chess and checkers

and will have music to delight them. The leader hopes to have all in place no later than September. “Our partnership with Mural Arts and PECO has been a blessing,” she said of their help in staging her school’s premier function in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated April 4, 1968, at 39. Parker is trying to emulate King by advancing tolerance and will oversee a citywide March youth talent show in Overbrook. “Communities often need help to change their atmosphere, and I am happy to provide that help anywhere,” he said. Golden thinks similarly. Though her organization has worked often with Southern, she deemed Monday’s Bok experience more comprehensive. “What we are doing today acts as a catalyst and a springboard for devising the rest of the year’s projects,” she said, her gloved hands coated in paint. She has already thought of future prospects for Bok, including a photo project that will make the building’s windows luminous evening attractions. As Dr. King advocated in his ’63 “I Have a Dream” speech for the mingling of all children, Golden wants to engage youths in sharing ideas. “The more we can reach kids in schools,” she said, “the more excited I am.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

News

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS continued from page 1 Center Room, a space abounding in learning aids such as board games, computers and musical instruments. Sumner joined St. Gabriel immediately after graduating from Temple University, believing she would put in a year at the Catholic locale. The lure of public schools’ lucrative paychecks, however, proved powerless against the idea of molding youngsters to be upstanding faith-filled individuals. “Catholic schools exist, first and foremost, to form believing Catholic Christians; people of the Gospel; people of justice, mercy and charity,” Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said in a release. Sumner, who estimates she has instructed 2,000 students, sides with him but clashes with his authorizing St. Gabriel’s inclusion on the closings list, which also affects 1,700 teachers. “Shuttering St. Gabriel School would ensure the loss of a stable and religious influence on so many lives,” Sumner said of the threat to her beloved location. “Parents have told me, and I agree, this school is the hope for the future.” ST. GABRIEL HAS consistently welcomed about 200 students each year, but that could not keep the institution from joining 44 other elementary and four high schools selected to close. Its 201 pupils are among elementary learners who must contemplate the prospects of parting with friends and teachers, as the 17-member body deemed after a year of analysis that decreasing rosters and skyrocketing subsidies cannot become Catholic education’s future. Established through then-Archbishop Cardinal Justin Rigali, the group hopes to cease exoduses from parochial schools that have dwindled archdiocesan enrollment by 35,245 since 2001. Averaging $319,162 per school over the same period, subsidies have crippled sites, too. St. Gabriel, filled 48 percent to capacity, received a $259,216 subsidy from the parish in 2009-10, the last term for which the report includes figures, and the parish dealt with a $381,779 deficit during the same stretch. As one of nine affected local grade schools, St. Gabriel desires to have its status as a Grays Ferry mainstay act as counter evidence to the decision to send its students 1.4 miles away to Newbold’s St. Thomas. St. Gabriel’s Rev. John Zagarella has teamed with St. Thomas’ Monsignor Hugh Shields to discuss implementation strategies for their proposed merger, which

the Archdiocese projects will educate 412 students. Shields and school officials, who assist 206 attendees, declined to comment. Filled 55 percent to capacity, their facility enjoyed a $17,869 surplus in ’09-10, with the parish $63,244 to the good. “The children feel as if their family is being pulled apart,” Friel, who also led Annunciation B.V.M., 1148 Wharton St., a site slated to unite with St. Nicholas of Tolentine, 913 Pierce St., said. Though St. Gabriel has more than the 200-student count the Archdiocese uses to gauge a school’s future, the commission deemed it and 11 other schools with similar enrollment “challenged,” according to its report. “No family can run on nostalgia and red ink,” Chaput said. “... And so it is with the church. We have a moral duty to use our resources wisely, not just in education, but in every aspect of our life as a believing community.” Last year’s total archdiocesan enrollment slumped to 68,070, similar to the 1911 figure, according to the report. The 1959-60 school year included 271,088 enrollees, the most ever, yet rising tuition, employing lay teachers instead of religious personnel and competing against charter schools for bodies have factored into reduced rosters. To maintain who remains, the commission aims to form a governance model to assist schools’ management and to bolster opportunities for public school students who venture to parishes for sacraments and faith formation lessons. The kindergarteners displayed great knowledge of their faith’s tenets, as Sumner led them in reciting reasons that distinguish their school from others. Answers included strong friendships, Sumner’s influence and gratitude for one another. Having just completed a lesson on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., they addressed

dreams and their desire to have their families and teachers remain together. Sumner fears many families will abandon the neighborhood if the school closes, a belief she also deems a likely community crusher. The children launched into “This Little Light of Mine” and demonstrated a sign language version of “You Are My Sunshine.” If Zagarella cannot overturn the decision, the children will have only two options, the regional school or a public one, as the Archdiocese is preventing other considerations. “By keeping the children from the same parish together, it will help them to build community among themselves and the pastor and parish staff can maintain a relationship with them,” Kenneth Gavin, an archdiocese spokesman, said via e-mail. For Mikki Shrodel, mother of pre-kindergarten’s Maxwell and second-grade’s Nala, the situation has become too taxing. “I have no interest in the regional schools,” the Southwest Philly resident said. “Many other parents feel the same.” Shrodel remained too stunned to discuss her children’s next school if St. Gabriel closes. Sumner, like all affected employees from closing or merging schools, must reapply for employment. She can submit her name only for the regional site, which the archdiocese, according to Superintendent of Schools Mary Rochford, will likely have named by March 25. “This is a travesty,” Sumner said, hoping the Archdiocese, which this time next month will issue a final listing of closings, upholds St. Gabriel. “We have to remain open.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

nterested in turning your home into a theater and your family into performers? Headlong Dance Theater is selecting four Philadelphia households to participate in “This Town Is a Mystery,” an innovative performance project that will premiere during the 2012 Philadelphia Live Arts Festival. Founded in 1993, the company will incorporate “citizen dancers” into its performances without them stepping foot out of their own homes. Household participants, who will receive a stipend, will have to commit to short, structured rehearsal practices upon performances in September, but do not need to have any prior experience. Each 20-to-25-minute show will be constructed by using the study of movement, stories, music and video. Dinner will be shared by performers and about 10 audience members following the experience, encouraging an intimate opportunity to see other ways of life in Philadelphia. For more information or to apply, call 215-767-6881, e-mail andrew@headlong. org or visit thistownisamystery.com.

A South of South resident makes sure pets displaced by fires are given the care and treatment they deserve. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

hen three pit bulls were rescued from a two-alarm fire a few months ago, they had somewhere to go because of Jen Leary. “It’s something we’ve always done. We were just born that way,” Leary said of the caring efforts of her and twin sister, Marion. “We’re just into helping animals and nonprofits. Even when we were little, we’d do stuff with Greenpeace or help the animals.” Leary, who lives at 20th and Carpenter streets, began Red Paw Emergency Relief Team, an animal-care service that is called to the scene of fires when animals need rescuing, treatment or a place to go. “Essentially, I just felt helpless as a firefighter,” Leary said. “At a fire with the Red Cross, I couldn’t do anything for the animals. Especially with the Red Cross, we would be assisting the people and giving them shelter and food, everything they need but leaving them stranded as far as the animals. Other volunteers felt the same way and would do stuff when they could.” Starting as a volunteer with the Red Cross, Leary transitioned to firefighter duty full-time and felt at the same loss when a family’s home was devastated and there was no system to get care for the animals. Her answer was to form Red Paw, a response system that arrives at the scene and makes sure the animals are given the care they need and deserve. “If we come across an animal that needs medical care, we put

Jen Leary is always ready to extend a helping hand to displaced pets, including Theo, above, and Coda, right, through her nonproﬁt Red Paw. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Miscellaneous

was trying to figure out what to title a column filled with unrelated items. In the past I called a similar column “Scrapple,” but few people eat scrapple anymore or even know what it is. At times, I have called such a column “From the notebook,” but if truth be told I don’t own a notebook. Most of my notes are on scraps of paper my wife fishes out of my pants after they have gone through the wash cycle. I could call a column of unrelated items “Unrelated,” but then just suppose by chance a reader might find some relationship between two of the items? Uncle Nunzi suggested I call the column “Frittata,” after the Italian omelet that contains various leftovers. The problem is everyone who reads this is not Italian, even though Uncle Nunzi would like to think so. “Miscellaneous” is not very exciting, I admit, but it’s accurate. Here then, based on my painstaking research, are miscellaneous stories from around the world. ... A woman in Minot, N.D., claims she has seen the image of Tim Tebow on a slice of toast. She is asking $5,000 for the toast, which is slightly stale and appears to contain an image of a man in a football suit in a kneeling position, or as some skeptics claim, some severe burn marks likely from a toaster oven. ... In a small South Florida community known as Manatee Rump, the housing market has gotten so bad sellers now are offering up to $10,000 plus a set of steak knives as incentives to prospective buyers. Located about 200 miles from Algae Lake, it once was considered prime real estate area and was home to the deceased Shah of Iran. ... Republican front-runner Mitt Romney admitted in a Fox News interview today on that he routinely fires a portion of his staff when he wakes up calling the firings his morning exercise in capitalism and a bigger pick-me-up than a large glass of orange juice. ... Ashton Kutcher admitted he continued to wear his wedding ring because he had forgotten he and Demi Moore had split. Moore’s publicist had called him this morning to remind him of the breakup, but refused to tell him why the two had parted. Kutcher is reading People back issues for clues. ... A pilot flying over the Painted Desert spotted a man wandering aimlessly among the sand dunes. A rescue party ultimately found the man identified as Eagles’ defen-

sive coordinator Juan Castillo, who is in good condition despite some mental confusion. One of the rescuers, Dudley Smathers, said Castillo was mumbling “wide nine.” Thus far, no one from the Eagles organization has called to claim Castillo. ... Apparently in an effort to emulate the NHL’s successful Winter Classic, the NBA has announced plans for a Summer Classic. The game will be played in late May outdoors on the deck of a cruise ship as a prelude to the midnight buffet. ... Kim Kardashian is rumored to be on suicide watch in a Beverly Hills hospital. She had gone an entire week without a public, television or tabloid appearance, which is given as a possible reason for her precarious mental state. A dog also has replaced the celebrity in this year’s Sketchers Super Bowl commercial. The Kardashian’s spokesperson denies the report and claims it is a malicious lie former husband (for a brief period) NBA player, Kris Humphries has spread. ... President Barack Obama admitted at a news conference today that the economy has not improved as much as he would have liked. However, after a slow start, it is headed in the right direction, he said. “I accept full responsibility,” he said, pointing out his entire economic team is all in. “I have to do a better job of putting my people in position to succeed.” The president, who interrupted his comments several times by coughing, refused to indicate whether he would replace his chief economic adviser, Timothy Geithner. “You guys know how I feel about Tim.” ... The 1 percent of America’s wealthiest citizens are fighting back with rallies in poor neighborhoods, according to a group spokesperson for the Koch Brothers, to celebrate what he called the “job creators in this country.” “We will occupy these neighborhoods until they call off their class warfare,” the spokesperson said. Heated cabanas have been set up with flatscreen HD TVs and artisan chocolates being given out. “None of these successful Americans were born on third base,” the spokesperson, who went into lengthy detail about the impossible logistics of such unlikely births, said. “All of them hit triples and we’ve got the video to prove it.” Donald Trump made a surprise appearance. A nearby homeless person muttered, “If that guy hit a triple, then I’m Derek Jeter.” ... Recently fired Fox 29 weatherman John Bolaris is in trouble again. He was found yesterday staring at his reflection for five hours in a Macy’s dressing room mirror and forcibly evicted. A salesperson claims Bolaris entered the dressing room at 10 a.m. to try on a pair of jeans, so he called security at 3 p.m. “He was just staring at his reflection and reciting ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall.’ It was kind of weird.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

It’s a goner

Linda Schell (Sandra Bullock), left, tries to help her son Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) understand his father is gone in “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.”

R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

urely there’s a movie out there with a child’s-eye perspective on 9/11 that’s worth seeing and shedding communal tears over. “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” however, is most certainly not that movie, and the fact that it’s been withheld as an automatic awards contender brands its producers as arrogant and presumptuous. Directed by Stephen Daldry (“The Reader”) and adapted by Eric Roth from the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, this is a film of shameless manipulation and insufferable idiosyncrasies, a veritable Kleenex box stuffed with triple-ply, hipper-than-thou quirk. Its central character is Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn), a 9-year-old New York boy who loses his father (Tom Hanks) in the World Trade Center attacks (Oskar calls Sept. 11 “the worst day”). A year later, he finds a key in his dad’s closet and swears it unlocks a crucial secret, setting him off on a citywide search that introduces him to all walks of life (read: minorities), and paints him as a wee Forrest Gump for the hipster generation (his tics and pet peeves are from the skin-crawling School of Random Thought, and for good measure, he has undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome). Oskar’s journey is intended to be one that unites us all, his quest for healing and closure a reflection of the quests of so many others. But it’s hard to imagine anyone identifying with this kid, despite the very few flashing moments of poignancy (in one scene, Oskar screams while trying to reconcile what became of those whose bodies were incinerated). For his part, Horn gives a very accomplished child performance, tackling his given task with

great conviction. But he’s still slave to the horrid writing and Daldry’s sugarplum direction, which turns the story into daintily packaged grief. The movie’s small breath of air is Max von Sydow, who plays a mysterious neighbor that only communicates via scribbled notes and “Yes” and “No” palm tattoos. If only the character were available to each moviegoer before the screening: Is this that 9/11 flick with the cute kid? Yes. Does it deserve an ounce of my money or time? No.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close PG-13 One reel out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters

Recommended Rental Real Steel PG-13 Available Tuesday A film that’s easy to make fun of but actually far from stupid, Hugh Jackman’s robot-boxing movie “Real Steel” gets a great deal of mileage out of its heartfelt father-son tale, which wholly drives its surface attraction of mean machines in the ring. Jackman is terrific as a deadbeat fight coordinator mending ties with his estranged boy, and for every by-the-book element, there’s another that’s rousing, moving and highly entertaining.

Philly

n days when it actually feels like winter, a warm meal after braving the cold seems like the way to go. Artrina Lindsay’s Tortellini Soup, filled with cheese-stuffed noodles and a large serving of vegetables, keeps its devourers toasty and healthy. The resident of the 2100 block of South Hancock Street enjoys its warming effects, but also likes to distribute her soup to others. Those not lucky enough to receive her gift, can now prepare the steamy meal for themselves. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.

Artrina’s Tortellini Soup INGREDIENTS:

1 pound of sweet Italian sausage 5 cups of beef broth 1/2 cup of water 1/2 cup of red wine 1 cup of onions, minced 3 cloves of garlic, chopped 1/2 cup of carrots, sliced 2 cups of tomatoes, peeled and crushed 1/2 teaspoon of oregano 8 ounces of tomato sauce 1 1/2 cups of zucchini, sliced 1 16-ounce package of cheese tortellini 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced 1 cup of cabbage, shredded

DIRECTIONS:

Sauté the sausage until brown. Remove its skin. Combine the sausage with the broth, water and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook covered for one hour.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

Viet-Thai Restaurant By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

ith Chinese New Year upon us, Sandy and I bundled up on a brutally cold day and headed for Chinatown for a warming leisurely lunch. The choices are dazzling, but that’s half the fun of bustling Chinatown. I decided on Viet Thai Restaurant because I’ve always enjoyed their pho, curries and other Asian dishes. It’s a small, nondescript space where patrons tuck into good-sized portions of tasty food at ridiculously low prices. We waited about 10 minutes and settled into a table for two set with red-and-white paper place mats describing the signs of the Chinese zodiac, heavy plastic chopsticks and paper napkins. Bottles of soy, hoisin and Sriacha sauces, along with a small glass jar of peppery chile sauce, were on every table. Complimentary steaming hot jasmine tea warmed us up immediately. Like so many Asian restaurants, the menu, filled with diverse Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai dishes, is large and can be overwhelming. I know how to navigate my way because I instinctively knew the kinds of dishes Sandy would like. Pho, one of the national dishes of Vietnam, can be prepared in a myriad of ways. It is one of my favorite soups. I ordered the pho with meatballs and rice noodles ($8.95) and asked the waiter for an extra big bowl and ladle so we could serve ourselves.

fragrant Thai basil sprigs and mint sprigs arrived with the Pho. I ladled some into Sandy's bowl and told her to add some of the vegetables and a squeeze of lime. The broth was hot, light and refreshing. There must have been at least a dozen seasoned meatballs, akin in appearance to sausages in taste and texture, floating in the soup. I took my chopsticks and separated the rice noodles for easy eating. The best way to eat them is with chopsticks but Sandy asked for a fork so she could twirl them like spaghetti. I added a tad of Sriacha to my soup, which gave it a tasty kick. Since the portion was so generous, we packed half of it to go. Three spring rolls ($4.50) sliced into thirds were filled with minced pork and fried to a golden crispness. A small dish of sweet and sour dipping sauce added just the right touch of flavor to these classic appetizers. Sandy particularly enjoyed them since the wrapper was slightly different from egg and spring rolls she has sampled in other restaurants. Next up were two cool, plump shrimp rolls ($3), which were expertly prepared. Thin rice paper wrappers were filled with shredded coriander, small vermicelli threads and small, slightly sweet shrimp slices that were a fine foil in taste and texture to the spring rolls. I liked the thick, viscously chopped peanut-topped sauce that came with the rolls as it, too, had a fine foil for the sweet and sour sauce we enjoyed with our first course.

Grape leaves stuffed with minced grilled beef ($5.95) consisted of small, thin cigarlike treats nestled on a bed of lettuce, bean sprouts, daikon and carrots. The waiter brought us a bowl of boiling water and round rice paper sheets, which we softened in the water bath. I made a wrap for the grape leaves, took a bite and discovered I preferred to eat them straight. The texture and flavor of the beef was dandy. A hefty portion of shrimp fried rice ($8.95) was about the best you will find in Chinatown. Jasmine rice was used in this dish, imparting a fine flavor and aroma. It was light beige in color and filled with small sweet shrimp, scrambled egg bits and diced scallion. More than half was packed to go for a late dinner.

Monday’s arrival of the Chinese New Year can be easily celebrated by highlighting popular Asian dishes. These offerings are so hot that a ﬁrebreathing dragon might even need a cooling break. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

Ingredients:

Carcass of a 4-pound roasting chicken, or about 4 large chicken breast bones

Directions: Place the carcass or bones in a 4-quart pot. Add the stock and water. Bring to a boil, lower to medium-low, place the lid askew and simmer gently for about 45 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the coriander and shu mei, and simmer until the vegetables are cooked but retain a bit of bite, for about 10 minutes. Taste and correct for seasoning. When ready to serve, bring the soup to a boil, add the coriander, if using, and the shu mei. Cook according to the package directions. Serves six. Note from Phyllis: Coriander is a staple of Asian and Mexican cuisines. Many people cannot eat it because it tastes like soap to them. Julia Child despised it. There is something in the saliva of those who detest it that gives the coriander a terrible flavor, according to a report from last year.

■ Lettuce Wraps ■ Ingredients: Canola coil to coat the bottom of a skillet 2 heads of Boston lettuce, separated into leaves 1 pound of protein of choice, such as chicken, beef or shrimp, sliced 5 fat cloves of garlic, sliced 1/2 cup of soy sauce 4 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil 1 pound of mixed vegetables of choice, such as red peppers, scallions, mushrooms, sliced Sriacha sauce, to taste

Directions: Place all of the ingredients except the lettuce leaves in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Stir well and marinate for about 20 minutes. Place the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Heat the oil over high. Add the contents of the marinade bowl, including the marinade and stir-fry until the protein of choice is cooked, for about five minutes. Allow each guest to stuff the lettuce wraps. Serves four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I january 19, 2012

hinatown will be a feast for the senses this weekend as residents, merchants and Philadelphians of all ages get set to greet the Year of the Dragon. So don something red, prepare to dine, shop and make merry. At home, it’s easy to cook tasty colorful dishes for the Chinese New Year. The simplest ways to stock an Asian pantry is browsing around the Chinatown markets or shopping at the local supermarket. The Asian aisles are stocked with all sorts of savory and sweet ingredients from hot sauces to rice noodles. I always have soy sauce, toasted sesame seed oil and Sriacha sauce in the refrigerator. I did some culinary sleuthing to find out why I prefer Sriacha to Tabasco or other hot sauces when I prepare Asian dishes. I like the consistency and although it contains sugar, it is not sweet. According to “The New Food Lover’s Companion,” a fine culinary dictionary compiled by Sharon Tyler Herbst and Ron Herbst, Sriacha is “named after the seaside town of Si Racha, located along the Gulf of Thailand. The bright red sauce, a mixture of sun-ripened chiles, garlic, sugar and vinegar, has the consistency of ketchup.” Sriacha has become so popular in America, supermarkets now carry it. It is very hot, so I dilute it with water or stock before adding it to a recipe.

Garlic, ginger, scallions, baby bok choy, lemongrass, snow peas, sugar snap peas, napa cabbage — also called Chinese cabbage — and mushrooms easily find their way into Asian dishes. Canned water chestnuts and bamboo shoots are readily available, but one day I substituted fresh jicama for canned water chestnuts and found the flavor and texture quite nice. I recommend Canola or peanut oil when stir-frying Asian fare. You want a flavorless oil with a high smoking point. I have an old Teflon-covered wokshaped frying pan which I use for stir-frying. You can use a wok or a large skillet and achieve tasty results. The skillet need not be a non-stick one. Browse the frozen food sections and you will discover shrimp, chicken or vegetable shu mei. These dumplings are first cousins to wontons. I add them to Asian Chicken Soup. Lettuce Wraps are served during Chinese New Year. You can use any protein of choice such as chicken, beef or shrimp. If using boneless chicken breasts or beef, store them in the freezer for about 20 minutes. You will achieve truly thin strips for the stir-fry.

You gave us so much in life, but the most precious gift you gave us was the unconditional love of you, our extra special Dad. You will live forever with us. We will miss you forever! With all of our love to you, until we are together again,

Love Mommy, Carolanne, & Patricia

International man of victory A Point Breeze basketball standout scored his first pro championship in Central America. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

Photo provided by Chaz Franklin

Windfall found him in ’05, when he graduated from New York’s Roberts Wesleyan College with All-American Mideast Conference distinction and a psychology degree. He showed his skills to European personnel at Syracuse University that summer, with his hops helping him to land a spot on Germany’s Mitteldeutscher Basketball Club the following August. Remaining with the bunch through early ’07, he engrossed himself in a world of curiosity and newness, a universe he still inhabits. “Playing abroad can bring on a case of culture shock,” he said, citing ingesting horse and bull and debating the role of religion as some memorable endeavors. He made his way to South America to compete for a Venezuelan outfit and added treks to the Dominican Republic, Bosnia and Kuwait, with the final two influencing his cultural and educational identities. The Bosnian War, waged from 1992 to ’95, left the European land suffering, with Sarajevo gravely affected. Franklin played in the capital city, gaining knowledge of the conflict’s aftermath. “The visuals were stunning,” he said, with bullet holes in buildings and a gloomy atmosphere as indelible examples. Kuwait is helping to lead a Middle East basketball revolution, and Franklin enjoyed a role in it, though a hand injury cut it short. The School District of Phila-

delphia hired him as a substitute teacher and a therapist, with his first assignment in the latter role coming at Chester A. Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., in the ’08-09 school year. “I offered autistic support for classes,” Franklin said of bettering students’ prospects for stability. Compelled to uplift youths, he decided to help the Lions to roar, proving so successful that he became an assistant coach for last August’s Maccabi Games at Northeast Philadelphia’s Klein JCC. “At that point, I was more or less out of pro basketball, but my little league team actually kept telling me I should try to play again,” Franklin said of devising a regimen that included pre-dawn track runs at Saint Joseph’s University. A couple leagues built his confidence, and a call from a Guatemalan official sent Franklin abroad yet again. Last month’s conquest has made him even hungrier, and he labels his players inspirational figures. “My kids are great,” he said, revealing an intent to work with children for the rest of his life and to start a youth-oriented nonprofit. “They helped me to believe in myself fully again.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

FRANKLIN KNOWS MENTAL stamina will assist his plans to prolong his career, as he has called on it to balance his domestic duties and wanderlust. Basketball always drives him to duel with distress diligently, and he has emerged victorious each time, scoring points that have won plaudits and learning lessons that have brought self-satisfaction. “I look at everything as a blessing, even setbacks,” he said.

Chaz Franklin, right, capped off his recent journey to Guatemala with a little championship celebration.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I january 19, 2012

ossessing a grateful mentality, Chaz Franklin uses Christmas to acknowledge his blessings. The most recent rendition found the 30-year-old hoopster especially appreciative, as he spent it recollecting a joyous bit of novelty. Only two days prior to regaling his acquaintances with tales of his fortune, the guard celebrated with his teammates in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala, after their efforts brought him his initial professional title in his sixth experience with international competition. All victories deserve praise, and the resident of 17th and Morris streets has received and distributed ample samples of gratitude for the Latin-American triumph. With 20 years of basketball involvement, he has experienced enough to know that dispensing indebtedness matters more than welcoming it. “The time in Guatemala was magical,” the chiseled champion said Jan. 11 after an intense day of training his body in the hopes of adding another foreign club. “The title gave me the best experience of my life.” The crown and the popularity he gained as the season unfolded would not have become prized coins in his memory bank had he not listened to youngsters who love the sport as much as Franklin did as a 10-yearold launching jumpers at DiSilvestro Playground, 1710 S. 15th St. Members of the Huntingdon Valley Lions, they last year encouraged their coach to test his frame against his peers one more time. “I committed myself, too,” the baller, whose early dreams involved stroking shots in the NBA, said of preparing to have a chance to add to journeys in Germany, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Bosnia and Kuwait. With seven championships in three years under Franklin, the Lions possess obvious skills and seemed like teenage versions of Nostradamus when the Guatemalan Basketball Federation signed him in mid-November. Knowledgeable of Latin American ball’s physical nature through his 2007 stint in Venezuela, he knew his workouts would serve him well. Exercising his muscles and manners brought him renown in just over six weeks of contests.

He hustled each second, an activity that often involved diving for loose balls. Gaining figurative points while gunning for literal ones, he frequently high-fived fans when his pursuits landed him in the stands. “I had a humble mindset before going to Guatemala, but it increased when I saw how much the people appreciate life and enjoy the small things,” the sniper, who averaged 25 points and eight assists, said. Lacking an insular mentality, he engrossed himself in the local culture, a move that endeared him to the public as it painted him the way he wanted citizens to see him, as a “regular guy.” Bonding with teammates and inhabitants deemed him customary, but dribbling, dishing and shooting proved him exceptional. His squad’s semifinal win required the season’s biggest display of guts. Franklin led a massive comeback and iced the battle with two heartbreaking three-pointers. Avenging a regular season loss, he orchestrated a championship rout by containing his opponent’s main threat, a behemoth dubbed “Big Shaq.” “The semifinal was bigger, but that final was so gratifying,” Franklin said. He returned to the United States in time to give everyone a share in his surreal holiday experience and set himself the task of hoping for a seventh sojourn. He has corresponded with a Dominican team, as well as units in Chile, Egypt and El Salvador. Set to turn 31 Feb. 28, he sees 37-year-old Phoenix Sun Steve Nash, 38-year-old Dallas Maverick Jason Kidd and 47-year-old boxing champion Bernard Hopkins as influences for his desire to play at least 10 more years. “I have discipline over my body,” Franklin, who has tabbed Spain his dream location, said. “If I stay healthy, I plan to be playing.”
