n a cold Monday, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much warmth in the small first-floor room of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as Southeast by Southeast, 2106 S. Eighth St., where the Philadelphia Refugee Mental Health Collaborative (PRMHC) offers all kinds of services to engage the robust immigrant communities in South Philly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, and two dozen volunteers are painting the walls in bright colors to lighten a space that houses English language courses for the booming Burmese, Bhutanese and Vietnamese populations within several blocks in Lower Moyamensing.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You feel better when you can communicate with our teachers and neighbors, and we provide the resources [refugees] need to start speaking English and developing relationships with neighbors and exploring whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there in their neighborhoods,â&#x20AC;? Melissa Fogg, who coordinates logistics at the site, said. One of the things that she and her colleagues have found that might surprise you is that getting buy-in from refugees and immigrants can be challenging in ways beyond language skills. For instance, a refugee who has been disconnected from a residence, culture-specific foods,
family, and community is still resilient enough to reject support. Depression is a word that simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist in some languages. And getting community members linked up to resources that will improve their lives can be difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a struggle to connect people with clinical therapy,â&#x20AC;? Fogg, of the 2400 block of Madison Square, whose work with PRMHC falls under Lutheran Children and Family Services (LCFS), said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to take a less-medical or â&#x20AC;&#x201C;clinical look at mental health and try to reframe it in a context of wellness, which is more holistic and look at social determinants of health.â&#x20AC;?
Janet Panning is one of two program directors for LCFS and, through offices in Lancaster, Allentown and Philadelphia, helps serve more than 500 individuals. Fogg said up to 60 folks per day walk into 2106 S. Eighth. Panning spoke to volunteers on Monday and proposed an apt hypothetical: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where would you go if everyone turned on you because of the group you belonged to, like say you go to Mastery Charter,â&#x20AC;? where several Thomas Campus, 927 Johnston St., volunteers in the room attend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and therefore [someone] wants to burn your house down?â&#x20AC;? Panning stressed that there is ethASS MLK DAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ^OUS ,,

Letters To our Readers: I feel fortunate to be giving you my thoughts. My mother had complications as she carried me in the womb and could have had me terminated, as that was the medical advice that she received. I learned of this when I was 20 and immediately felt immense gratitude for her decision to bring me into this world, especially when she told me she knew my presence would add richness to her existence. Her declaration filled me with even more regard for the wonder that is life. We live in a society that often degrades the mere mention of the sanctity of each creation, and that really irks me. I know plenty of people on each side of the abortion debate, and I show admiration for the pro-life individuals and tolerance for the pro-choice crowd, hoping the former will
;OWZ S [OWZ
add allies and the latter will lose them. I mostly follow a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live and let liveâ&#x20AC;? approach to sharing this earth, but abortion will always give me pause when I ponder this saying because so many people who completely follow its philosophy forget that the unborn indeed deserve to live. Tomorrow marks the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roe v. Wade decision and will find opposers heading to Washington, D.C. for the March for Life. I pray that their work wins more backers and that society comes to believe that all lives matter. I thank my mom for realizing that mine does. Joseph Myers South Philly Review editor

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m depressed over it! As you get older, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to deal with this. It wears on you, especially when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy accumulation.â&#x20AC;? Peter Catona, 1100 block of Ritner Street
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your mind? To the Editor: Who would have thought that Mayor Jim Kenney was a mind reader? He hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in office for a week, and a horrific incident happened, an attempt to assassinate Philadelphia Police Department officer Jesse Hartnett, who was only doing his job, which our police do every day to protect us. After the suspect was arrested, he said he did it in the name of Islam and Allah. So much is happening all over the country, and police are getting shot in different cities, and those doing it say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it for Islam or some other radical reason. Instead of saying we will leave no stone unturned until we find out if what suspect Edward Archer said is true and is fully investigated, Kenney stated he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel Islam had anything to do with it. The animal that allegedly did this is lucky the police responding didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t light him up like last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas tree. They should have. I know our police department will do everything in its power to make sure whether or not he had radical ties and if there are more involved. Now, we have the FBI investigating it as a terrorist attack. Maybe Kenney should retract what he said instead of politicking. [Former Mayor Michael] Nutter would have said a lot more than Kenney. I guess heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose votes in four years. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about that; we had a mayor bomb a neighborhood and still get elected. Hey, Jim, time to put big boy pants on; this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t City Council. On another note, Kenney said he was snubbed by [former Eagles coach] Chip Kelly when they crossed paths in a store. I guess there is karma, as Kenney did the same thing to me maybe 12 years ago at CVS at 11th Street and Washington Avenue. I said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, Councilman,â&#x20AC;? and he looked at me as if I had two heads. I guess he was late for work since it was about 9:30 a.m. What goes around comes around. Mario Marchetti South Philadelphia
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little scary because nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying how much. Plus, the snow often remains on side streets, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problematic. We need the City to take action if this hits us hard.â&#x20AC;? Lorraine Caponigro, 1000 block of Ritner Street
Requesting reparation To Mayor Jim Kenney: I think you owe every resident of Philadelphia an apology for two statements you have made in the very short time that you have been the mayor. First, when you finished your inauguration speech, you stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black lives do matter.â&#x20AC;? What you should have said was â&#x20AC;&#x153;All lives matter.â&#x20AC;? Second, in your speech at the press conference for the shooting of Philadelphia Police Department officer Jesse Hartnett, you said the incident had nothing to do with being a Muslim or a follower of Islam. This was an occasion when you should have said NOTHING if this is all you could think of to say. You should resign as the mayor ASAP if this is the kind of crap you will say when ending all your future speeches. The residents of this city donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a mayor who opens his mouth and inserts his foot. We need a mayor who has at least one sympathetic bone in his body. I thought we had mayors before who were NOT the best for the job; however, you have proven me wrong. So early in your administration, I already see you as the worst. George Munce Roxborough
Service learning To the Editor: I thought your article was very good and right on point (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protecting and serving,â&#x20AC;? Jan. 14). It is a very sad day when certain individuals will allow their clouded political views to take precedence over the attacks that have become our reality. I have always been an advocate for law enforcement and military, as without them we would live in complete and utter chaos. Not every police officer is honest, but everyone who commits a crime is a criminal. Officer Jesse Hartnett was attacked, and this was calculated, not isolated. I pray for his speedy recovery and for God to continue to protect and bless America! Debbie Russino South Philadelphia (via southphillyreview.com)

etectives interviewed the complainant at Pennsylvania Hospital on Friday, learning that at 3:50 p.m. he found himself engaged in a verbal dispute with his lover, with the partner supposedly punching him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He stated she retrieved knifes from the kitchen and threatened to cut him following his instructing her to leave. They became involved in a physical altercation, and the victim relayed that the woman stabbed his hands and head before leaving the residence on Broad and Ellsworth streets. He sustained a severe laceration to his right hand, puncture wounds to his left hand and scalp, and a minor lip cut. Authorities used his description of his reported attacker and police detained Shanika Gillis on 1500 block of Ellsworth Street at 4 p.m. They charged the 19-year-old with possession of an instrument of crime, simple and aggravated assault, and recklessly endangering another person. She had not posted her $3,500 bail as of press time and awaits a Feb. 2 preliminary hearing.
A[]ZRS`W\U 0c`\a A Newbold man is in police custody for supposedly committing thefts in Marconi. As first reported in the Dec. 24 South Philly Review as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spreading Christmas fear,â&#x20AC;? at 2 a.m. Dec. 2, surveillance video captured the image of the male as he cased parked cars on the 2700 block of South 16th Street. He then fled with several bags from the automobiles, with the footage last capturing a glimpse of him on the 2600 block of South Bancroft Street. On Dec. 9, two officers watched the video individually and identified the suspect as Shane Burns. Law enforcement officials arrested the 27-year-old resident of the 2000 block of South Colorado Street on Jan. 6, charging him with theft by unlawful taking, theft by receiving stolen property, and theft from a motor vehicle.

pizza peddlers have some competition if we wish to tab South Philly a completely idyllic expanse. I am not shocking anyone by saying that our neighborhoods often suffer from blatant attacks on their aesthetic charm thanks to trash. It is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility, my friends. 6) I judge litterers: I know they do not lose sleep over their actions and do not care who rebukes them, but when I catch people tossing trash to the ground, especially when a receptacle is within feet of them, my blood pressure takes a hit. How I wish I could bag my critiques! 5) Trash service is lackluster: How many of you have your trash heaved to trucks by sanitation workers who think they are trying out for an Olympic team? Nothing brings on more joy than the occasions on which tosses go astray and garbage hits the streets. Oh, and recycling workers, the objects are to empty the bins and return them to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property. 4) I wish the South Philly Review were bigger: Print journalism has fallen on hard times, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame especially with regards to South Philly since so many of you have wonderful tales to tell. How I wish we could accommodate more of your stories each week. 3) I am not a fan of Mayor Jim Kenney: This is not solely because I am one of Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true rarities, a registered Republican. Something about Kenney has always bugged me. As his term (or terms, yikes) unfolds, I am sure all will become clear, though I am not above changing my mind. 2) I wanted to win the Powerball payout: I remember having a rapid heartbeat the first time I went to a casino and won $400 at a slot machine. Imagine the outof-body experience that becoming a billionaire could have caused! Of course, fellow South Philadelphians and local associations, you would have seen a decent chunk of that, as I love paying it forward. Next time! 1) I treasure my friends: I have by no means led a sheltered life, but from the summer on, I have realized that I call some truly amazing people my friends, and I hope many of you are reading this. You certainly know I can go on tangents, but I think â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank youâ&#x20AC;? can convey the same sentiment as a Shakespearean-length speech.

From the moment I heard about the scooters, I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, how corny!â&#x20AC;? Something just makes me see these as nothing special, and that has nothing to do with my suspect sense of balance. 9) We have the best Catholic churches: Though I am registered at the National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia, I like to cheat and inspect other locations. As my pastor, Rev. Joseph Genito, says, at least I go somewhere. Take impressive architecture, dedicated priests, and fellow believers, and what is the personal result? A lifetime of gratitude for Vigil Masses and Sunday services. 8) I love South Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pizza: I grew up in Southwest Philly and recall one solid pizza place. Now calling South Philly home, I could easily rattle off a dozen spots that make me thrilled to have Italian ancestry and a mozzarella fetish. 7) We have some dirty stretches: Beautiful churches and commendable

residential in the building. Zero. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for the neighborhood and better for the building.â&#x20AC;? In a Scout-issued release titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bok Starts the Year with a Full House,â&#x20AC;? they divulged that they were seeking a liquor license that would subsidize tenant and building overhead. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also â&#x20AC;&#x153;seeking an operating partner for a permanent rooftop cafĂŠ.â&#x20AC;? Scannapieco said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only just beginning to welcome tenants and leasers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be way more than 20 or 30 in the end; it depends on how much it will all get sliced up,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;some of the larger-scale tenants, it takes a bit more time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for us and for them.â&#x20AC;? ONE OF THOSE tenants is the Passyunk Avenue hair salon thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown since it opened up shop in 1990. Erin Anderson bought the business from the previous owner in 2005 and Fringe Salon, 1728 E. Passyunk Ave., has seen a steady increase in business ever since. She says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on the Avenue for nearly 13 years and that the timing of Bokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution fit perfectly when her current landlord became problematic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 1000 percent into it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to say we have outgrown our space and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown to the point where Fridays and Saturdays, our busiest days, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost elbowing each other.â&#x20AC;?
Fringe will be in 409 and 410, where clients will gaze at the Philadelphia skyline while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re clipped. She and master stylist Roberta Briggs are pumped on the timing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way that this whole thing went down was absolutely perfect. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy awesome,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been slowly and regularly letting clients know about the move and almost no one has said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bok? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anderson said â&#x20AC;&#x153;not one of them had a negative reaction. Everyone knew where it was.â&#x20AC;? While Anderson and Fringe are looking at a nearly five-block move, Hive76, a cooperative of makers, had a bit of a bigger and more dramatic move. It, like many others, was headquartered at 915 Spring Garden St., which burned and was shut down by the City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a member who was friends with Lindsey, and he put us in touch, and they had spaces available. It just worked out, really,â&#x20AC;? president and events coordinator Chris Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved in last month into around 600 to 700 square feet, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much business-as-usual.â&#x20AC;? Of course, their business is slightly unusual: they specialize in offering largescale spaces and access to equipment for creatives, engineers and artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We built a 14-foot Connect 4 with a Dance Dance Revolution pad.

ot too many people in Philadelphia need reminders of the controversy Scout Ltd. LLC sparked when it opened Le Bok Fin on the eighth floor terrace of the former Bok School, 1901 S. Ninth St. It may have opened for only 24 nights last summer, just days after Lindsey Scannapieco and her team got the keys to the building on July 7, but in hindsight it was a very smart idea. It created a great deal of interest in the shuttered building and, going into 2016, Scout and Bok have a fullyleased first floor. Le Bok Fin, in name, came from students at the once-booming technical school that occupied the East Passyunk Crossing building, and riffed off George Perrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late Le Bec Fin. Le Bok Finâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s test kitchen on the third floor wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discarded, nor will woodworking, cosmetology or manufacturing relics. In fact, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be preserved and newly inhabited by, in some cases, modern business versions of the same trade. In six short months, Scout has recruited a handful of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonprofits, small businesses, artists and small scale manufacturers,â&#x20AC;? according to a release from them. And â&#x20AC;&#x153;more than 75% [are] residents of South Philly.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our priority at Bok is to fill the need for affordable office and studio space while creating an environment that nurtures entrepreneurship, showcases creativity, encourages collaboration and supports the community within and beyond the walls of Bok,â&#x20AC;? reads a statement from development manager Liz Maillie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always thought there was a big demandâ&#x20AC;? for studio and business set-up spaces, said Scannapieco, Scout Ltd. LLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing partner and principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the reason that we went with this approach rather than using the space any other way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not a lot of affordable work space in South Philly.â&#x20AC;? Her firm purchased the building for $2.1 million when the School District sold off 24 buildings in its portfolio in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13. The building is absolutely huge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly 340,000 square feet, which is approximately six football fields long (laid out horizontally). Scannapieco says there will likely be zero residential units: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not planning any
got one of those surreys, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be entering into the Kensington Sculpture Derby,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. Hive76 is one of the tenants lots of other Bok residents are excited about having around and, for Terrell, the feelingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mutual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about the new tenants. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of young blood in Bok with lots of people looking to collaborate on all sorts of stuff and these [neighbors] are not dummies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everyone getting involved here is pretty high-caliber,â&#x20AC;? he said. Karen Chayot and Kathy Goldenberg are two new neighbors who are excited to bring their Elkins Park-based Project P.L.A.Y. School to Bok, as well. Chayot says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in business for 11 years and â&#x20AC;&#x153;our mission is to have the promise of each child realized.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the ground floor, too, and will benefit from the Knight grant Scout secured that will improve the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s façade and entrance, turning it into a public â&#x20AC;&#x153;stoopâ&#x20AC;? complete with a dog park set to open, likely, in February. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have approximately 30 students, aged two-and-a-half to five, and Chayot says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on â&#x20AC;&#x153;play- and relationship-based programming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we view children as confident and capable and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really facilitators and partners in their learning.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to set children out into the world who know how to be an adult, a good citizen, and a mensch,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important thing. Everything else flows through their play and working through their social and emotional components.â&#x20AC;? As Goldenberg put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we know what kids are facing when they go to big school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the hard part is the lunch room and recess. We work with children to listen to each other and be kind.â&#x20AC;? The community aspect is just as appealing to pre-school teachers as it is to hairstylists and creative makers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited because our school is about makers and thinking out of the box,â&#x20AC;? Goldenberg said, noting that their school is like a form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;detox for kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no electronics. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big component of our program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; take a walk, look around. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have that opportunity at Bok.â&#x20AC;? SPR

Furthermore, they recruit within the community to encourage leaders to help them best offer services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within our staff, we hire community leaders as case managers, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a program where we train them in a lot of social work techniques and try to emotionally support them, too, with all the problems they see,â&#x20AC;?

of volunteers applying fresh paint in the hallways of a rapidly changing school. What used to be two distinct schools and communities were pushed into one in 2013 and, under new leadership from principal Zachary Duberstein, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forging an identity thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprisingly college-oriented. After all, it educates 385 students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all before they step foot in a high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mission of Vare-Washington is to create college graduates,â&#x20AC;? Duberstein, a new resident of the 700 block of Wharton Street, said. He holds the distinction of being the youngest principal in the district at just 27. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have anything to do with the ambitions he has for the school.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my goal to kick butt in the School Progress Reports.

Barlow said, positing that the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for a rejuvenation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to take that next step to make parents welcome and set the direction for the school, and to become a part of improving academics, the climate and all the extracurriculars, and showing them ways beyond this [weekend] that they can be involved and support their neighborhood school.â&#x20AC;? Duberstein seems giddy about the college murals going up on the second floor hallwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walls, partly because there were murals still up from 1992 that featured Bart and Homer Simpson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten percent of students that are accepted at a higher learning institution graduate from that institution citywide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our goal is to make it 100 percent for students from Vare-Washington. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a college focus from the minute they step in the door,â&#x20AC;? the young principal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my goal that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the premiere elementary school in the city and a flagship in the country.â&#x20AC;?

A Bella Vista resident is combining her love of art and yoga through a burgeoning business. ÂŽĂ&#x160;0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

P ORTRAIT P HOTO B Y TINA G ARCEAU A RTWORK BY A LLISON K ROSNICK
he constant commotion that so often permeates our personal lives can confound most plans to center oneself, but Allison Krosnick deems diligence the crucial counteragent to a stress-filled existence. An ardent admirer of various forms of expression, the 33-year-old has meshed her enthusiasm for art and fitness to craft Hand-Painted Yoga, her twomonth-old business that gives homage to creativity and elevated consciousness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that part of anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth should be doing what feels right and not holding back when we trust ourselves,â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said from her home studio on the 700 block of Bainbridge Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially during times when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worrying about so much, if you find a way to confront that through positivity, you have to take action; this venture is an example of that.â&#x20AC;?
The Bella Vista occupant initiated the combination brainchild Nov. 2, with the initiative giving her a second foray into the world of running a business, as she started Hand-Painted Weddings in 2012. The latter exists as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an artist yogiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of yoga philosophyâ&#x20AC;? and relies on a dozen aphorisms and abstract water colors to generate good vibes through art prints, calendars, greeting cards, and posters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This feels more raw and authentic,â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said of her newer endeavor, for which she receives input from yoga instructor Emile Sorger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a great path, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m enthused about building my profile because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much rewarding energy to tap into if we let ourselves.â&#x20AC;? The entrepreneur, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond Fear, there is Joyâ&#x20AC;? as a sample adage affirming the previous point, has practiced yoga for nearly seven years, christening it her â&#x20AC;&#x153;meditation space.â&#x20AC;? Filled with perpetual promise, she aspires for individuals to grow more comfortable in their skin and confident in their ability to combat

conflicts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do the work, and let go of the agenda,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said of realizing that pursuing and implementing changes to lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obstacles will rarely yield flawless steps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is a process, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m finding thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly true with Hand-Painted Yoga. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also discovered the whole process works wonders for me because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always striving to manage my issues and appreciate the awesome elements of my life.â&#x20AC;? Having yearned to contribute to yogaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich possibilities in a non-teaching role, she sees the burgeoning business as a boon to her belief that people should possess faith in the supposition that everything is coming together and will produce tranquility despite occasional glitches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually bought the domain name for Hand-Painted Yoga way before I started it, but I had some hesitation,â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time that I have paused in my life, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been something there. The power of the pause. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what told me to do what I know, and I know paper, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I am today - trying to encourage and be encouraged.â&#x20AC;?
THE INSIGHTFUL INDIVIDUAL noted she always felt attracted to art as a Lansdalereared youth. Enhancing that affinity as a Drexel University-enrolled graphic design major, she began to hone an infatuation with Philadelphia, which her Hand-Painted Weddings website says helps her to find her energy due to its being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast-paced, upbeat, and creative city.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a ton of great things happening here, especially within the yoga scene,â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you truly look around and are willing to open yourself up, the potential here is really encouraging.â&#x20AC;? She trekked just outside the metropolis, to Glenside, specifically, for employment and graduate studies at Arcadia University, and though graphic design has crafted an immense presence in her existence, she coveted occasions to do something â&#x20AC;&#x153;off the computer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started Hand-Painted Weddings when I began my masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program,â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said of balancing the necessity of addressing her Montgomery County-based lessons with the pull toward displaying her
creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also began to practice yoga as I prepared for my wedding, so I was already used to the challenge of multi-tasking and keeping my mind from becoming too locked in to one pursuit. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy, after all.â&#x20AC;? Hand-Painted Weddings returned the focused figure to the roots of her artistic exploration, with watercolors as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the perfect mediumâ&#x20AC;? forging even more equilibrium in her daily dealings, as she reveals on its accompanying website that while her selection â&#x20AC;&#x153;is flexible and flows organically,â&#x20AC;? she also paints â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a meticulous, detailed manner, creating that perfect balance between the twoâ&#x20AC;? in her work. Seeking to honor yogaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence on her maturation, Krosnick wanted to complement one successful execution of inspiration with another and has helmed the infant-stages business as further proof that doing always tops pondering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of empty about ambition,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too, too many situations where you can know what to expect, but as a business owner, I find that kind of exciting.â&#x20AC;? Krosnick also delights in gathering en-
ergy from her Bella Vista surroundings, which she and husband Carl have enjoyed for five years. With the more she grows as a yogi and as an artist, the more she aims to make connections with studios and stores and stated that holding seminars and workshops could eventually help her to fashion further fascination with how people handle their hurt and harness their hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working with a business coach, so I see some good opportunities with Hand-Painted Yoga,â&#x20AC;? Krosnick said of the concept, whose predecessor earned her a feature on Hatch.co in honor of International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surrendering to the hope that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken the right measures to help people to grow, and I want to see what that could bring to me.â&#x20AC;?

S
ÂŽ a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [
taken over the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel duties from Howie Roseman in a much-celebrated power play after his first season with the team. Rosemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation around the league had always been that of a non-football guy without much credibility. Chip proceeded to prove that Lurie had been wrong twice to trust these two guys with personnel decisions. Lurie has proven to be a slow learner in that with Chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure, he has apparently chosen to bring Roseman back as his personnel guy. No one has had this kind of influence over someone in power since Nicholas II of Russia depended on Rasputin. So here we are with Lurie making the mistake of putting Roseman-Rasputin in charge of personnel in the first place. Replacing him with Kelly, another personnel novice, while promoting Roseman and keeping him around to feed an increasingly absentee-owner about the stuff going on around the team. Cutting bait on Kelly a week BEFORE the season ended and bringing the smiling Roseman-Rasputin back (note- it is not true Roseman was ordered to bring Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head to Lurie on a silver plate if it could be done tastefully). Chip Kelly would NOT have been fired, even with his 6-9 record and poor personnel moves. My opinion. What finally pushed Lurie, normally a patient man even with Roseman-Rasputin whispering in his ear, was Chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crude and rude interaction with just about everyone with whom he came into contact. No, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there but I heard too many rumors that amounted to the same conclusion. During my stint this season as co-host of Monday Night Kickoff on WBCB 1490, I heard players during commercial breaks tell us that Chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open Door Policyâ&#x20AC;? was a sham. One player remarked you were smart enough not to walk through that open door. Kelly couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bothered to listen to veteran players who complained about being dog tired as the season went on because of his up tempo mania. They hated filling out forms every morning about the quality and quantity of sleep they had achieved the previous night. Hell, what were they, teens at a summer camp for boys? Chip apparently has some kind of problem saying simple hellos or waving his arm in greeting. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whether you were one of his coaches or veteran players. Chip didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much or anything to say to you individually. Even when the warning signs were clear that dissing everyone could ultimately cost him his job, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change his ways. But this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the University of Oregon Ducks. Jeff Lurie wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Nikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phil Knight. The Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future looks cloudy. Its organizational structure is once again uncertain, as Roseman is back as if he never left. Somebody warn Doug Pederson. Beware of Rasputin. SPR
o how did it come to pass that Chip Kelly, who became the coach of the San Francisco 49ers Jan. 14, went from a football genius in these parts in 2013 to a schlub in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;15? (schlub being defined as stupid and worthless in my old neighborhood; you may insert your own slang). I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen such a precipitous rise and fall since Milli Vanilli, which, you might or might not recall, was a hit vocal group until it was discovered the men comprising the duo werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the ones singing the lead vocals. With Kelly, we found out this season that he was impersonating a general manager. My Uncle Nunzi actually believes Milli Vanilli made the trade that sent LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for Kiko Alonso. Under Chip this season, the team wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scored more points playing single wing than his â&#x20AC;&#x153;creativeâ&#x20AC;? up tempo offense. His defense was rated near the top of the league until it wore out thanks to Chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense. And Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandatory nutritional shakes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. Incidentally, if you take a look at his physique, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to believe the rumors that Kelly was eating cheesesteak sandwiches with mayo and washing it down with his favorite brewski. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re king, you can pass on the kale and eat your cheesesteaks with mayo (a grievous offense in and of itself to get one fired). Chip paid a fortune to get running back DeMarco Murray, it seems, only to humiliate him. Murray is not a great runner. He will be living off his rushing title from â&#x20AC;&#x2122;14, attributable as much to the excellence of his old team, the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, as his own skills. Unfortunately for Murray, in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;15 he was playing behind the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line. The difference between the Dallas â&#x20AC;&#x2122;14 offensive line and the Eagles line of this recent year was like the difference between Frank Sinatra and the lounge singer in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullets over Broadway.â&#x20AC;? Chip then proceeded to compound Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems by continually running him wide. Murray trying to run wide was like hearing Milli Vanilli actually trying to sing on their recordings once they were caught faking it. He became the much-talked about bust of the league. Murray actually proved it is not always better to take the money and run. In the offseason last year, it was as if Chip Kelly the un-General Manager (the Eagles abhor the use of the perfectly good title of General Manager for some mystical reason that must go back to owner Jeffrey Lurieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days when he was a big fan of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ of Ozâ&#x20AC;?) decided to destroy the team. Kelly had cardella.

Melissaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Easy Stuffed Peppers
S
tuffed peppers have long enjoyed status as global goodies, with numerous cultures crafting delectable versions. Anyone familiar with South Philly knows how much locals love fulfilling their vegetable needs through these offerings, so give a nod to Melissa Rivera for going green. The resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street noted her recipe serves four to six people, but it sounds so tempting that you just might find yourself forgetting to share. If you yield to excess, double the amount the next time. Everyone will think you are being especially gracious. SPR

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re our standout item,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said of the mollusks, which, of course, the site offers in white form, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had many tastings before we opened, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incredibly happy being able to offer this as an entree with linguini.â&#x20AC;?

DIRECTIONS: Heat a pan to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, mussels, flakes, and garlic. Cook until the mussels begin to open slightly and the garlic starts to sweat. Deglaze the pain with white wine, and cook down the liquid for about 15 seconds. Add the clam juice, the marinara, and the butter. Cover at medium heat until the mussels are fully open and plump and the sauce has thickened slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley. SPR

ue to their amazing track records as restaurateurs, including ownership of Cantina Los Caballitos, 1651 E. Passyunk Ave., and Royal Tavern, 937 E. Passyunk Ave., Ashley Thomas had long yearned to open a location with Dave Frank and Stephen Simons, deeming that possibility â&#x20AC;&#x153;a one-of-a-kind learning experience.â&#x20AC;? Since May, the Fishtown resident has revelled in the realization of her desire by serving as the general manager for Triangle Tavern, 1338 S. 10th St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is exactly the kind of place I love to work in,â&#x20AC;? the 38-year-old said from the Passyunk Square destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys have a great business model, the staff members are classy and fun, and the menu items are outstanding. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to work in places where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of the food.â&#x20AC;? Going on her ninth year with the duo, Thomas delights in ensuring that the 52seat space excites patrons, many of whom flocked to Triangle Tavern during its initial run from 1933 to 2001. The re-established draw, which also serves brunch and is considering breakfast options, makes dinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reverence apparent through framed photos of famous guests, but Thomas knows that any place that relies too heavily on the past will find itself losing favor for its flavors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased with where we are,â&#x20AC;? she said, tabbing the customer base â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantastic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy to help this new identity to unfold.â&#x20AC;? The former inhabitant of the 2200 block of Mifflin Street and her much-revered bosses enlist executive chef Mark McKinney to plant plentiful plates before guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes. With a great culinary background, including time at Cantina, he elected to share Triangle Tavernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mussels Red recipe.

s she watched sons M.J. and Max prepare to participate in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer Shots program for 3-5-yearolds at the Edward Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., Stacy Koilor noted her offspring mainly feel attracted to the game because they love to run. Minutes later, with coach Samuel Faulkner cheering their efforts, the siblings connected for a beautiful goal that relied heavily on their focused footwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The physical component is great for them, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be even greater for them to become even more aware of rules and the whole idea of playing with others on a team, too,â&#x20AC;? the matriarch said from the Pennsport facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for anyone who plays this sport.â&#x20AC;? The Queen Village inhabitants ventured to EOM as constituents of a session that will run every Saturday through March 19. The space also offers tutelage for two groups of 2-3-year-old enthusiasts and 5-7-year-old practitioners, with Faulkner and coaching director Josh Whitman overseeing their execution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here so that these kids can have fun,â&#x20AC;? the latter, a Fishtown resident, said as Faulkner engaged the youths in a game of â&#x20AC;&#x153;What time is it, Mr. Fox?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to provide an introduction to the game in a setting that is not ultra competitive.â&#x20AC;? Whitman has assisted the entity for four years and 14 seasons, with time at Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St., among his assignments. Faulkner is enjoying his second season as an instructor and has also encouraged active registrants at the revered soccer space. Their lifelong devotion to the pastime infuses their interactions with the children with patience and curiosity, two elements that Pat Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara can commend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is his second season, and I think his involvement has helped with his physical development and coordination,â&#x20AC;? he said as 4-year-old William, whose initial exposure to the game occurred at Starr Garden, 600 Lombard St., took a water break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy that comes from the staff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely inspirational to

these children.â&#x20AC;? The denizen of the 1900 block of South Front Street enjoyed an athletic upbringing that featured football, baseball, and basketball. Valuing the advances that his boy, also a gymnastics devotee, is acquiring through Soccer Shots, the area figure foresees that William will continue to mature through the wisdom and wherewithal of Faulkner, Whitman, and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite common for children to stay with us for many seasons,â&#x20AC;? Whitman said of familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diligence in being durable attendees, which is refreshing when one considers how often youths abandon their involvement in team sports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, growing up, along with having fun, I knew I was cared about when I played. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we look to foster each time we connect with new groups.â&#x20AC;? SOCCER

its success, which
includes regular recognition from Entrepreneur magazine as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fitness Franchise, to founding partners Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb, who formed it in 1998 when deliberating on the dearth of quality outlets for children under age 8. With the progress of programs in Charlotte and Harrisburg as motivators, they began franchising in 2005, with Delaware, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as beneficiaries. Twentynine more states have yielded opportunities, swelling Soccer Shotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outreach totals to 170 territories, with more than 275,000 enrollees enjoying help from Faulkner, Whitman, and their peers last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found out about Soccer Shots through a Google search,â&#x20AC;? Faulkner, also a Fishtown denizen, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve loved the game for a long time and want to help others to have that enthusiasm, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be
here to do that.â&#x20AC;? EOM has an admired history of spreading fervor among locals through its biddy programs and made the connection with Soccer Shots to offer supplemental explorations for limber limbs. With room remaining in their clinics, particularly for the oldest set of goal scorers, Faulkner and Whitman look forward to welcoming more charges, with Koilor thrilled that her kin can come to fraternize with contemporaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did something similar in Brooklyn, so when we moved from New York, I wanted them to continue if they were interested,â&#x20AC;? she said of the 5- and 3-yearolds, who could have given the Energizer Bunny a run for his money Saturday afternoon and who, like William, have also played at Starr Garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, I expect them to continue to appreciate their involvement.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely want to grow in South Philly,â&#x20AC;? Whitman said, revealing that a program also exists at Guerin Recreation Center, 2201 S. 16th St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bond with people through all sorts of ways, be it direct outreach, stop-ins, calls, or word of mouth. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better for us than to see families trusting us to educate their children and for the kids to learn sportsmanship and believe in themselves.â&#x20AC;? The youths indeed showed belief as Faulkner talked them through ball control endeavors then helped them to play defense. Despite facing opposition, M.J. and Max broke free as the session wound down, with the younger Koilor capping the 35-minute experience with a deft score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like my brother, I like scoring goals,â&#x20AC;? M.J. said of his penchant for celebrating, although he was glad to set up his sibling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing soccer makes me feel special.â&#x20AC;?

FOR YOUR
ELECTRICAL CONTRACT
NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
RESIDENTIAL AFFORDABLE ELECTRIC */$ COMMERCIAL
Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately.
