The players didn’t seem to be responding to [Andy] Reid anymore.� Mark Negro, 19th and Porter streets “As a fan, I didn’t have any ill feelings towards Andy Reid but thought he was getting a little stale. I am looking forward to seeing what Chip Kelly can bring to the team.� Matthew Negro, 10th and McKean streets “That’s fine as long as he gets rid of [Michael] Vick. Hopefully he brings us to a Super Bowl.� Jennifer Augustin, 17th and Wolf streets “I think it is more exciting that we are getting someone new.

Humane act

To the Editor: I wonder if the person or people who are poisoning cats in the area are aware of the collateral effects their actions could cause. The simple fact is poisoning an animal is a brutal, terrifying and painful way to die. These people probably do not like animals and could care less about that part of it. When a cat eats poison, it does not roll over and die. It becomes violently sick and frantic. It runs around terrified from yard to yard and vomits every place it stops. This vomit contains some of the poison that the cat ate. Just suppose that in one of the yards where the cat vomited the homeowners had a pet. They let it out in their safe, secure yard for exercise and just to get some air. Any pet owner knows that a cat or dog cannot resist eating whatever it finds. The amount of poison in the vomit may not be enough to kill the animal depending on its size, but it could leave the pet very ill and in pain. That, unfortunately, is, of course, not the worst thing that could happen. Suppose there was a toddler that lived in that house. The parent lets the child out into the enclosed safe yard. If somehow the child got the vomit on his or her hands, I think we all know that whatever a child gets on their hands will eventually end up in their mouth. Again, it’s more than likely not fatal, but could have serious consequences. So if you find yourself with an animal problem, think about what to do to get rid of the problem. Trapping the animal and taking it to the Humane Society is a thinking person’s option. I know this involves more than the lazy option. It is, however, more humane and much safer. Even if you could care less about the humane part, think about the safety part.

that some of the changes are a bit extreme. I kind of gasped to see some of them. Finally I had a revelation: “Oh, they’re making the avenue so much safer for us pedestrians.� I have seen many instances of insane driving at the six-way intersection at 16th Street and Passyunk and Snyder avenues. Now, guess what? We aren’t going to have six corners there anymore. It is a little inconvenient for the 79 bus, but I am glad to see it. I think it will be 100 percent safer for myself as a pedestrian and all of the kids who walk to and from school through that intersection every day. Jeff Keith South Philadelphia

School District of Philadelphia has slated the closing of 37 schools in June, Abigail Vare being one of them. For us, for Pennsport and the community, it is unacceptable to be losing our only school. When my family moved into the neighborhood, we discovered that our local public school is filled with caring, engaged, dedicated teachers and support staff. Daily my husband and I listen to both of our children share stories with enthusiasm about their educational adventures within this historic building. Abigail Vare is 111 years old. It services a diverse group of children from many backgrounds, speaking many different languages. Closing Abigail Vare would leave Pennsport without a public school. Vare offers Pennsport children a strong academic component, as well as educational experience that prepares them for the adult world. We have a strong special education program and an ESOL program for our bilingual children. Most of our beloved school teachers have a master’s degree. Abigail Vare has full-time art, physical education and music educators. To enrich our children’s experiences and encourage growth, we receive weekly visits from wonderful instrumental instructors, as well as a nutrition-

South PhillyReview ist with Eat.Right.Now. Our school offers a fairly new computer lab and provides a significant amount of time for the students to be literate in our ever-growing technological world. The passion to create exciting, educational experiences for our children does not stop there. Our teachers and staff utilize the entire Philadelphia community to help educate, support and challenge our students to excel. The kindergartners and first graders travel to Center City for coached reading under a program called Philadelphia Reads with local law firms. The second grade participates in Reading Buddies with a local senior center. ShopRite works with the third grade in a program called Young Consumers. The middle grades’ classrooms are housed with interactive white boards, as well as classroom laptop carts. The school encourages crossgrade activities. For the students interested, there are after-school clubs held and designed by the teachers, including a homework, gaming, and guitar club to name a few. Also, parent workshops are offered monthly dealing with relevant topics, such as raising children in today’s world, teaching respect and nutrition. We benefit from visits by Fleisher Art Memorial and Drexel University dancers. Abigail Vare is undeniably a family. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have access to such a resourceful institution. If Abigail Vare is closed, we will lose it all. The impact on our thriving, vibrant community is unknown, but it does make the future look bleak. Please take a moment and help us show the Philadelphia School District that Abigail Vare needs to remain open. As the children of Vare recite every day in the school pledge, �Abigail Vare is our learning place. We are making a better tomorrow today.� You can sign my petition at change.org/petitions/philadelphiaschool-district-keep-abigail-varees-open.

Good Samaritan hospitalized A Southeast Philly corner store customer fought back during a robbery that left him with a head and leg wound. ■ By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

A

man accomplished scaring off two offenders during a heist but ended up hospitalized for his courage. An unknown man armed with a small, silver revolver walked inside Koh Kong Grocery, 2233 S. Seventh St., announced a robbery and told everyone to get on the ground at 5:50 p.m. Monday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A 48-year-old and two 29-year-old female workers complied, but a 40-year-old male patron did not. During a struggle between the customer and the gunman, the latter fired three shots at the former, striking his left leg and head although the bullet did not penetrate his skull, Tolliver said. Then the perpetrator fled empty-handed eastbound on Moyamensing Avenue while his lookout fled north on Seventh Street. Police performed first aid and CPR on the victim before transporting him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in critical but stable condition, Tolliver said. Detailed descriptions of the offenders were not available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Under investigation Police discovered two dead bodies in a Southeast Philly home Saturday. It is unclear if the incident was a double homicide or a murder-suicide. Michael Stering, 52, of the 1900 block of Ritner Street, was located at 5:56 p.m. Friday in a bedroom on the 600 block of Fitzgerald Street with a gunshot wound to his head, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. Another man, 44, who resided at the Fitzgerald-Street location was found in the hallway also with a gunshot wound to his head. His name has not yet been released as authorities are investigating to see if he was the shooter. Both men were pronounced dead at 6:05 p.m. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Taking out the cash Two men robbed a Grays Ferry pizza

shop Monday. The duo entered Little Caesar’s Pizza, 2895 Grays Ferry Ave., at 9:24 p.m. when the teenage female working behind the counter asked for their order, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the customers pulled out a black handgun and said, “If you yell back to the other guy, I’ll shoot you. Empty the cash register.” She did as she was told and also cleared out the other register when the gunman requested her to do so. Both men fled, running southbound on 29th Street with an undetermined amount of money. Detailed descriptions of the robbers were not available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Video rewind Police arrested the man who allegedly attempted to rob a Lower Moyamensing eatery last week. Christopher Lonasco, 54, of the 2200 block of South Darien Street, allegedly entered Ho Choi Grocery, 2300 S. Ninth St., at 6:45 p.m. Jan. 14, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He allegedly walked around and approached the 24-year-old male employee behind the counter with a knife and said, “Give me the money.” The worker grabbed a chair and swung it repeatedly until Lonasco is believed to have fled. At 8:15 p.m. the next day, investigators returned to the site to review video surveillance, at which time they learned the supposed offender lived up the street. Police arrested Lonasco at his home. He was charged with robbery, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person. His bail was set at $20,000 Jan. 16, but he had not posted it as of press time, according to court records. In 1992, Lonasco pled guilty to simple assault and possession of an instrument of crime and was sentenced to two years of probation while in 2008, he was convicted of simple assault and was on probation for 18 months. Both incidents occurred in South Philly. SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/police-report.

Good riddance to residue A Hawthorne organization is helping a South of South thoroughfare to combat abundant debris. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

hough any kind of garbage can prove unsightly, wet refuse makes an especially upsetting visual. Andrew Dalzell encountered the soaked sort Jan. 16 as he walked along Washington Avenue, but the programs coordinator for the South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA), 1901 Christian St., and other local figures have witnessed less litter making a layover on the prominent thoroughfare since last month courtesy of a transitional housing provider’s holiday gift to their neighborhood. “More people have to realize what we see is not theirs or mine but our trash and up their efforts to tend to it more diligently,” Dalzell, of the 2000 block of Fitzwater Street, said within Cava International Marble and Granite, 2000 Washington Ave., before inspecting a heavily industrial expanse west of Broad Street. “For the times when they don’t, we all experience a setback and need assistance.” The civic personality has received such aid from Ready, Willing & Able, 1211 Bainbridge St., a 12-year-old organization that offers homeless men a temporary abode, social support services, education, paid work, vocational training and lifelong graduate services. Dubbed the “Men in Blue” because of their distinct uniforms, many of the 70 participants have spent each Wednesday since Dec. 19 cleaning Washington Avenue from Broad Street to its intersection with Grays Ferry Avenue at 26th Street and every Thursday since Dec. 20 sprucing up 22nd Street from Washington Avenue to South Street. “We assisted at a SOSNA event in 2011, and Andrew wondered if he could have a residential block hire Ready, Willing & Able to perform services,” Mark Atwood, manager of communications and development and a resident of the 1100 block of Montrose Street, said from Cava, whose owner, Michael Mazzola, has joined Dalzell in trying to beautify the corridor for customers, fellow proprietors and pedestrians, said. “We started something around Christmas time then along Christian Street

and South 22nd Street and hoped to be able to help more.” His Hawthorne entity approved a pilot program one year later, giving Dalzell a free assist in promoting his civic’s clean and green initiative. SOSNA personnel had devoted last February and March to conducting a litter index, scoring 20 neighborhood subareas, including small and large blocks and sites with and without trash cans, on their sanitary qualities. With Washington Avenue’s tallies being the worst, Dalzell knew what must become the prime location to maximize the generosity. “In many respects, Washington Avenue builds Philadelphia,” the South of South dweller said. “Because of wind currents’ bringing so much trash, though, we often have the Wild West on Washington West.” To explain the burden troubling his territory, Dalzell called on Greek mythology, mentioning Sisyphus, a fallen king whose afterlife punishment involved the pushing of a boulder up a steep hill. Each time he would near the summit, the stone would roll back, and Dalzell used that tale as a metaphor for what residents face when fending off refuse. “I couldn’t agree more,” Mazzola said, noting daily maintenance of his operation’s surroundings. “Just when we think we’re finished, more appears.” A DESCENDANT OF a New York City-based program, Ready, Willing & Able strives to promote self-sufficiency among its enrollees, about 70 percent of whom have served prison time and 96 percent of whom have a history of drug abuse, according to its website, with graduation depending on an individual’s attaining full-time employment, independent housing and a sober lifestyle. Alumnus Javier Rivera has ascended to the role of deputy director of community improvement projects and felt helping locations close to the organization’s headquarters would work wonders for enhancing appreciation of everyone’s duties in maintaining cleanliness. “We work all over and tend to many tasks, including vacant lots for roughly nine months of the year,” he said. “We realized there is so much potential around here that reducing the trash situation became a must.”

Supervisor Wesley Brown, right, and his crew will complete their fifth week of ridding garbage from South of South blocks today. S TA F F P H O T O B Y G R E G B E Z A N I S His workers have addressed Marconi Plaza, Broad Street and Oregon Avenue, and Stephen Girard Park, 21st and Shunk streets, yet because of their citywide duties, they have not crafted a constant South Philly presence. The SOSNA chores, whose fifth segment in a probable eight-week cycle concludes today, could compel the community to call on Rivera’s crews more regularly, which Dalzell has deemed doable. “We’re looking to acquire a contract for weekly services throughout the entire year,” he said, noting the acquisition of pledges from businesses along Washington Avenue could cover part of the cost. Potential methods for furthering interactions with Ready, Willing & Able include SOSNA’s willingness to assist with mock interviews and externships. Dalzell, whose efforts have brought BigBelly cans to South of South, knows no waste along the corridor would represent utopia but, rooted in reality, he realizes managing messes matters most. That philosophy has led him to add 22nd Street to the overseen areas for Ready, Willing & Able attendants, who use 22nd Street and Washington Avenue as their drop-off location for the City. Nowhere near as burdened as Washington Avenue at large, 22nd Street and Washington Avenue and the remaining five blocks comprising the second coverage area can prove popular for polluters, with burgeoning businesses, the recently renovated Julian Abele Park, 22nd and Carpenter streets, and

the revamped Catharine Park Park, 22nd and Catharine streets, as primary spots for neglectful passers-by. The combined realm does not occupy the workers for as long as the first zone but brings no less pride to Wesley Brown. “We love the routes,” the community improvement projects supervisor said after he and his five colleagues completed Jan. 16’s morning tasks. “Maintaining these areas, especially Washington Avenue, gives us senses of accomplishment, and we hope people notice that, but that certainly doesn’t mean we want for them to forget to be responsible and dispose of stuff improperly.” The North Philadelphian graduated from Ready, Willing & Able in ’10 and secured employment with his benefactor last year. Having worked on numerous contracts already, he would welcome a chance to be a more consistent contributor to efforts to make streets more inviting for consumers and potential commerce heads. That attitude dovetails with SOSNA’s views, Dalzell, responsible for helping to stimulate community and economic development, noted. “We want for people to consider Washington Avenue for their purchases, especially home improvement items,” he said. “Everyone needs to chip in, and we’re thrilled to have Ready, Willing & Able to bring that closer to fruition.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

BOK

continued from page 1 1600 block of South Juniper Street recently heard a rumor that the revelation for his spot’s selection might come at Tuesday’s 6 to 8 p.m. Facilities Master Plan community session at Southern. If he, his colleagues and their charges learn why, they aim to take the details plus points from tonight’s onsite discussion to further opposition to their inclusion in a plan that Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. released Dec. 13. Natale, who also has taught and coached at Southwest Philly’s John Bartram High School, has developed a strong connection to Bok’s story. “We have a 75-year history of producing greatness, including athletically,” Natale, who has guided the Wildcats to back-toback football division titles, said as he passed a packed trophy case. “Academically, we operate the same way, meaning we accentuate the positives. If we move, we’ll do the same yet under a different name.” Southern’s third-year Principal Otis D. Hackney III, who elected not to comment until the Student Reform Commission issues its verdict, has made noticeable changes at his Lower Moyamensing secondary site, including removal from the state’s persistently dangerous schools list. Bok personnel, including Principal Barbara McCreery, who also declined to comment, will construct a campaign to salvage their beacon, with lawyers to compose a document for presentation at the Feb. 21 commission session at the district’s North Philly headquarters. Junior Michael Riley, who earned an AllPublic football selection under Natale last fall, said Bok means more to him than its status as a gridiron great. “It was crazy hearing the news,” the West Philadelphian, who wishes to join his family’s list of Bok graduates and whose academic push includes time in the culinary arts track, which runs the Le Bok Fin restaurant, said. “We’re in a difficult situation and hope for the best.” HITE, HOWEVER, HAS to look at the bigger financial picture. Working with the Boston Consulting Group, the first-year leader is looking to improve the nation’s eighth largest school district by enhancing its educational and financial identity. As the entity has suffered a 27 percent enrollment dip since 2002, deals with 53,000 empty seats and needed to borrow $300 million to fund this year’s expenses, according to the master plan, Hite made his suggestions so as to increase the district-wide capacity rate from 67 to 80 percent and save his superiors $28 million beginning in 2014-’15.

Frank Natale, from left, has helped to helm a thriving athletic department at Bok in which football players Michael Riley, Rasul Jackson and Mark Webb have enjoyed several championship occasions. P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

The design also would close Abigail Vare School, 1621 E. Moyamensing Ave., and relocate its pupils to George Washington School, 1198 S. Fifth St., whose programs would cease, and would shut Smith Academics Plus, 1900 Wharton St., with Chester A. Arthur, 2200 Catharine St.; George W. Childs, 1599 Wharton St.; and Edwin Stanton, 1700 Christian St., schools as options. One of 11 high schools facing its final months, Bok opened in 1938 as a project of the Public Works Administration, deriving its eponymous title from an esteemed author, publisher and philanthropist. A yearbook notes it has had nine annexes, remained open 24/7 during World War II to help America’s cause and has assisted hundreds of thousands of community figures. The current crop of 904 students betters its prospects by complementing the customary academic topics with nine career and technical education programs, with culinary arts and computer technology proving especially popular. “We’ve helped with all sorts of vocations,” Natale, also the learning locale’s baseball coach, said. “Because of our commitment, we’ve developed a certain feel that I worry a move might cost us.” The East Passyunk Crossing resident

also lauded his site’s penchant for receiving commendations, such as last year’s designation as a No Place for Hate zone by the Anti-Defamation League and recognition from Michigan-based NOCTI, which honored the teenagers for their scores on its career and technical standardized tests. Though their marks on that battery outweigh their results on more conventional examinations such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Pennsylvania System for School Assessment, Natale senses academic irregularity will not end up a factor in learning why Bok has to rally to preserve its existence. “We have a leaky roof, and some classes have had their tiles taken out because of that, but the management of all that would have been easier if we’d received the $50 million we were expecting [from the district],” he said of money he noted also would have fixed floors and their gymnasia. “Now we’re in this predicament with an unsure outcome and left to wonder where to go from here.” Like his Pennsport counterparts at Vare, who have courted 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla to carry their cause, Natale has begun to seek political support, calling City Councilman at Large Jim Kenney’s office two weeks ago, but is still awaiting

feedback. Though the commission likely will not vote on the entire set of possibilities until March, the instructor has heard through the educational grapevine that Bok personnel might not be able to sway the five-member body. Observing a district worker’s taking notes on a computer laboratory’s contents also left him feeling sad but only for the enrollees. “Our situation has kinks, too,” he said of the teachers, whom he added the district could assign to Southern depending on need and seniority. “That’s on our minds, but there is a lot of loyalty to Bok, especially among the students, who feel safe coming here.” Mark Webb, who also earned All-Public football honors last season, remains hopeful that he will close out his high school days as a Bok grad. “Nobody wants us to close,” the junior computer technology track student from West Philly, said. “I’m sure we’d stick together at Southern, but this is a really good school with great teachers, like Coach Natale. I want to graduate from Bok, not another location.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

No sin in performing A Bella Vista actor stars as an assistant in a Leslye Headland play, which is set to be the basis of an NBC sitcom. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

A

s an actor, Kevin Meehan enjoys taking on characters with aspects unknown to him. “I kind of like to see what’s different about it, what makes it different from what I’ve done before,” Meehan, of Sixth and South streets, said of what he looks for in a role. “I also like to see what’s different about what makes this person different from me.” In his latest gig, he plays Nick in “Assistance” — the second in playwright Leslye Headland’s Seven Deadly Sins series that covers the themes of envy, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth and wrath, with pride supposedly in the works — through Feb. 3 at the Wilma Theater. While he wasn’t originally impressed with the script, he changed his mind during his audition. “I thought the play was much better when I heard it aloud, which is how it should be,” he said. “Shakespeare is not meant to be read, not to say this is Shakespeare, but it’s not meant to be read. It’s meant to be heard.” Kevin Meehan His character is one of six assistants, who also include Jake Blouch, of 12th and Moore streets, and Michael Doherty, of 12th and Wharton streets, working for a demanding Manhattan boss, who is believed to be based loosely on Miramax Films co-founder Harvey Weinstein, a previous supervisor of the author. “He’s a millennial,” Meehan said of Nick. “He’s a quintessential millennial in a failing job market. I think that says it best actually.” Following, “Bachelorette,” the first in the seven-part series that also was released

P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y A l e x a n d e r I z i l i e av

Lifestyles as a movie starring Kristen Dunst in September, this play, which is set to be a Will Ferrell-produced NBC comedy, portrays greed, but not the green kind. “It’s not about money. It’s about the job. It’s the greed one has for themselves in a way,” Meehan said. “I didn’t read ‘Bachelorette’ or see it. That one is about gluttony, and I think it centers around anorexity, eating disorders. It’s really pertinent to now.” The show, which premiered at Los Angeles’ IAMA Theatre Co. in 2008, is geared toward 20-somethings struggling toward career goals, but is educational for baby boomers as well. “I think it’s important for them,” the 28-year-old said of the older generations. “I think it’s maybe more important. I think it’s more relatable for people in my demographic or age group. I think it’s more revealing for a older generation of something they don’t understand.” THE NORTHEAST PHILLY native answered his first casting call as a student at Father Judge High School. “I started on the technical side of things, and a friend had kind of pressured me into one of the plays for high school. And I just got kind of bit from the bug as they say,”

Meehan said. That was his sophomore year at the boys’ Catholic school, when he was an extra in a show at Nazareth Academy, a nearby girls’ Catholic school. He continued to participate in stage crew while performing onstage. He was the Tin Man in a Nazareth production of “The Wizard of Oz” and then his mother’s favorite, Fagin in “Oliver!” at his school. “She raves about it still,” Meehan said. When it came time for college, Meehan was not sure what he wanted to do. “I was lucky to pursue something I really enjoyed as opposed to something I just excelled at,” he said of his time at Adelphi University in Long Island, N.Y. After graduating in 2006 with a bachelor’s in theater, he toured with the Boston-based Chamber Theatre Productions, for which he performed children’s short stories, and then had a residency at Media’s Hedgerow Theatre before returning to his hometown and landing in Fishtown in May ’08. “I just wanted to come and see what the community was like here — what the scene was,” he said. “Even though I grew up in Philly, I didn’t know what the professional life was like.”

That summer, he earned his first role with Center City’s Azuka Theatre’s “Kid Simple.” “Then I haven’t stopped working since,” he said. He relocated to Seventh and Sigel streets in ’09, and took over a friend’s lease at his current South Street apartment a year later. “I like living in South Philly because there’s always someone around, there’s always a store open. ... I guess there’s a sense of community,” Meehan, whose grandfather grew up in Point Breeze before settling in Northeast Philly to start a family, said. “…I think generally people seem to care more about the neighborhood in South Philly.” In terms of his theater community, he has been with a variety of companies before his current role at the Wilma, including Flashpoint Theatre Co., New City Stage Co. and Bckseet Productions. “All these pieces have all been really great for their own reason. Some have really furthered my career, some have helped me grow as an artist, some have been good for my pocket,” he said noting that even failures have led to great opportunities. While he has also starred in “Macbeth” in ’10 and “Our Class” in ’11 at the Wilma,

he particularly appreciates the company’s role in developing him as a performer. “The Wilma, in particular, has been really good to me,” he said. “They’re investing a lot in me. I’m not really sure why. I can’t see why it is. I’ve been able to take some master classes with some really great teachers at their expense, not mine.” Next up, he’ll be traveling across Europe on vacation before heading to the University of North Carolina’s Wilmington campus where North Philly’s New Paradise Laboratories — with which Meehan joined forces for last year’s Live Arts Festival’s “27” — will be working on “Prom,” a coming-of-age work on the cultural meaning of the high school formal dance. New Paradise’s director, Whit MacLaughlin, was hired to work with undergraduate students at the university. For now, Meehan is focused on his local performance, for which he hopes to attract a diverse audience. “Just because it’s really current,” he said. “I think it’s important. It’s not a comedy. It’s a satire, which is a big difference. It’s not shallow nonsense. It’s making a comment on what the American society is right now.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

A French-language film, “Amour,” follows Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant), from left, love for his ailing wife, Anne (Emmanuelle Riva).

Singing a sad song By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

A

multiple Oscar nominee this year, “Amour” is a wholly unadulterated look at a couple’s last days of love and life, and a film aimed specifically at very mature adults. Directed by Michael Haneke, the sober French drama focuses on Anne (Best Actress nominee Emmanuelle Riva) and Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant), two retired music teachers in their 80s living a quiet life in Paris. One day, Anne suffers a stroke, and then another, leaving her half-paralyzed and, eventually, incapacitated. Shattered, Georges tries to care for his ailing wife, keeping her at home despite pleas to the contrary from the couple’s daughter (Isabelle Huppert). Indeed, “Amour” is bursting with authenticity, unflinching as it is in regard to mortality and the inevitability of loss. Both Riva and Trintignant are effortlessly divine, giving life to a couple as real as any to hit the screen this year. But the amount of praise bestowed on the film is somewhat odd, for although it treads uncommon ground in telling an end-of-life love story, it’s undeniably cold, as is typical of Haneke’s work. Awards bodies don’t often embrace this Austrian auteur, who has earned critical kudos for near-nihilistic films like “Caché” and “Funny Games.” He’s hugely talented, but Haneke seems emotionally unreachable, and his latest does little to change that. From title on down, “Amour” is sold as a humanistic effort, with universal resonance and gritty thoughts on devotion. But that’s just window dressing for Haneke’s same stark sensibility, which leaves one in a state of gloomy despair. “Amour” sees Georges exude great love for Anne, but it also sees him fall victim

to a crushing hopelessness, for which the film offers no solace or remedy. When Anne indeed dies, some may see her manner of parting as merciful, but it doesn’t ease the movie’s icy sting. As we soldier through this life, we are all surely withering as we go, but one of the functions of art is to bring richness and beauty to the journey. There’s unapologetic realism, and then there are movies like this, which, for all their sincerity, seem chiefly driven to depress.

With “In Bruges,” Irish filmmaker Martin McDonagh delivered one of the best films of 2008. Now McDonagh is back with his sophomore feature, another crime comedy about a struggling screenwriter (Colin Farrell) whose strange friends get him entangled in L.A.’s nasty underworld. The acclaimed film boasts a talented supporting cast, rounded out by the likes of Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, and Sam Rockwell. Throw in a few dames and one pivotal Shih Tzu, and you’ve got a killer action caper. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Celebrate

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK January 27- February 2

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS Raise the Standards National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. During the week, schools and parishes focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and Catholic education’s contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. The week builds community awareness of and involvement in Catholic schools throughout the country. . During this week, many dioceses and schools encourage parents to take full advantage of the benefits of local Catholic schools by enrolling their children in those schools. The annual observance begins Jan. 27 and continues to Feb. 2. Schools typically celebrate National Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open houses and activities for students, families, parishioners and the community at large. Individual dioceses and local Catholic elementary and secondary schools develop and promote their own CSW activities each year. The Catholic University of America will commemorate Catholic Schools Week during the Mass of St. Thomas Aquinas at 12:10 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29. The Mass will be broadcast live by EWTN.

southphillyreview . c o m

Often schools will celebrate the parish family on Sunday (this year, Jan. 27); the community on Monday (Jan. 28); students on Tuesday (Jan. 29); and religious and clergy on Thursday (Jan. 31). In addition, schools often set aside time during the week to honor grandparents. National Appreciation Day falls on the Wednesday of Catholic Schools Week (Jan. 30). On this day in particular, advocates are urged to wear a button showing their support The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2013 is “Catholic Schools Raise the Standards.” Catholic schools are noted for their academic excellence and high moral standards. This year’s theme celebrates the constant attention Catholic educators pay to increasing the learning and growth in faith of all students. The theme follows on the launch of a new initiative, the “National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools,” to ensure consistent high standards at Catholic schools across the country. Catholic educators are also participating in a nationwide education initiative for all schools called the Common Core Catholic Identity Initiative. This year’s logo illustrates a chart of steady growth culminating in the highest achievement of them all, a cross representing the faith that underscores all Catholic education. The logo provides a visual expression of the essence of Catholic education to enhance the week’s celebration.

Pre-K through grade 8

The National Catholic Schools Week celebration became an annual event in 1974. Catholic Schools Week and the National Marketing Campaign are joint projects of the National Catholic Educational Association, the world’s largest private professional education association, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the national public policy organization of U.S. bishops. For More information please contact a Local Catholic School in this special Catholic Schools Week section or one in your area.

Liann’s Ginger Tea

F

ace it, there is a major fear of the flu spreading across the Delaware Valley. While it may not be the end of the world, the idea of spending the weekend in bed coughing, sneezing and sleeping doesn’t sound very exciting. Liann Amorose, of the 1800 block of South 17th Street, fights off those annoying symptoms by taking several sips of her Ginger Tea. “Ginger is a warming and spicy rhizoma. I like to make Ginger Tea or ginger milk and [it] is used as a herbal preparation to reduce fatigue in the cold winter. Brewing the tea with fresh ginger is a good remedy for the common cold and will make you feel warm inside and help your body sleep well during the night.” SPR

INGREDIENTS: 15 thin slices of fresh ginger 3 cups of water 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey

Brick American Eatery By Phyllis Stein-Novack

E

R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

very time we pass Brick American Eatery, Edward always asks, “wasn’t that Astral Plane?” Indeed. Astral Plane was one of our favorite haunts. No one can forget the puffy parachute ceiling, the funky, mismatched dinnerware and delicious food. When it was sold, the rooms were stripped bare. It was one restaurant after another. Now the location is Brick American Eatery. The rooms are still bare bones with some tables, chairs and banquettes. Edward and I settled in and found the menu lacked focus and the prices were too high. Cocktails are $11, which is not unreasonable. Our waitress brought us some cold bread and butter. Duck nachos ($10) consisted of a plate of ordinary chips strewn with a few bits of shredded duck breast topped with a dollop of guacamole and a drizzle of sour cream. The menu listed tuna wontons, which sounded intriguing. Chefs can stuff a light wonton wrapper with just about anything before they are steamed or pan-fried. Brick’s version ($12) was a disaster on a plate. Four crisp wonton shaped noodles were topped with about half-inch pieces of tasteless tuna and a sweet, pungent, sticky chili sauce. A small mound of ordinary mesclun was placed in the center of the plate. I assumed the warm Caesar salad ($9) was akin to the grilled salads I have enjoyed in a number of Italian restaurants. It arrived cold, so a fresh one was prepared. It did not fair any better. Two large hearts of romaine spent a little time on the grill, but lacked the smoky flavor and aroma Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

this unique preparation imparts. The lettuce was limp and lacked flavor as we could not detect any seasonings. The dressing was even worse. A thin, grainy, sour liquid was drizzled on top of the romaine, which, in appearance, reminded me of the white icing which comes with Toaster Strudels. After the pastry pops out of the toaster, you make Jackson Pollocklike squiggles all over the top. Caesar dressing should have a fresh lemon and olive oil flavor. And Edward and I could not taste any Parmesan here. The entrees at Brick, at the mid-$20 range, are overpriced. Since the three courses we sampled were not very good, Edward and I decided no one could prepare a bad burger or plate of ravioli. Since Brick is a neighborhood restaurant, I was surprised to find just two sandwiches on the menu: A crab cake and a lamb burger. Crab cakes are, more often than not, quite disappointing in restaurants. Lamb burgers have gained popularity — I enjoyed a big, fat, juicy one at Kennett last year. Brick’s lamb burger ($16) was pink and not medium-rare. It lacked flavor, it lacked the marvelous juicy dribble one experiences after the first bite. There was some type of bland cheese that melted into oblivion on the lamb, but the tiny dollop of caramelized onions added some flavor, albeit sweet. The french fries fared a little better — at least they were not cool or greasy, but they needed a sprinkling of salt. Since Brick’s menu travels the world Restaurant Review:

from Mexico to Asia, one would assume some kind of pasta would appear on the menu. Pesto ravioli ($17) was nothing more than a half dozen pasta squares filled with cheese and smothered in a basil sauce. Pesto imparts that marvelous mix of garlic, fragrant heady basil, olive oil, pine nuts and Parmesan. This sauce was limp and watery. Anyone from Genoa would cry if he or she had a taste of this. We wanted to share a glass of wine and settled on a pinot noir ($9) that was nothing special. Edward and I could not help pining over the memories of the delicious cassoulet served at Astral Plane and the fresh fish served and beautifully presented at Little = Very Good

simple route by ordering a short stack of pancakes or a burger and fries while others crave something heartier and filling. Many patrons of the Penrose Diner, know exactly what that dish is. Chef Mike Baroody, 23, who has worked at the Penrose for eight years, can make as many as 60 Beef Pot Pie’s in a day. With two hours needed to make the dish, the South Jersey resident said about 25 to 30 orders are made during lunch hours, but it depends on the crowd. Fellow chef Savas Kiriazoglou, who has been at Penrose for 18 years, is credited for the recipe. When Baroody gets a chance to sit back and enjoy a meal at the Penrose, there is a good chance the Beef Pot Pie will end up on his plate. “It’s one of my favorites,” he said. “I am definitely ordering it if it’s on the menu for the day.” “It’s one of the customers’ favorites, too,” owner Pete Dovas

added. Due to its popularity, the Penrose is sharing the recipe so patrons can prepare it from home. SPR

Joseph Myers talks

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r ev i ew.c o m

Carvin’ Marvin An area native is building his legacy with a basketball Hall of Fame induction and humanitarian efforts. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

B

ecause many vital figures have offered him guidance, Marvin O’Connor revels in reciprocating altruism. The 34-year-old former basketball standout will enjoy his most prominent opportunity to give gratitude tomorrow, as he and four other personalities will join the Philadelphia Big 5 Hall of Fame during a luncheon at the University of Pennsylvania’s Palestra. The honor will mark another boon for O’Connor, whose post-basketball career includes a thriving foray into business and an ambitious plan to open a community center. “It’s going to be great to be among so many excellent people,” the 2002 Saint Joseph’s University graduate said Friday from his three-year-old food establishment Black Poppy’s 2, 1352 S. 30th St. “My speech will be among the shortest, but it will include appreciation for all my supporters.” Already a member of his alma mater’s set of immortal contributors, O’Connor, who grew up on the 3000 block of Hemberger Terrace within the since-demolished Passyunk Homes projects, could not immediately fathom a congratulatory Hall of Fame-related text message from Hawks’ coach Phil Martelli last month. Once fully aware, he began reflecting on basketball’s place in his life’s journey. “The sport has helped me to see many places and meet fantastic individuals,” the 6-foot-4 presence said. “From it, I can say I’ve done much of what I’ve wanted to do, but I don’t want to be capped off. I want more.” When speaking of additional opportunities, O’Connor quickly noted he does not desire excess for himself, only for acquaintances and, based on his nearly year-old quest to build a Germantown community center with educational and recreational offerings, strangers. He has felt an affinity for communities his whole life, with a deferred dream giving him his current vision. “I’ve always had it in me to help people, to reach back and provide a more positive vibe to poverty-stricken areas,” the Dela-

Marvin O’Connor maintains a basketball profile, but hoisting hopes has come to matter much more than launching jump shots. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

ware dweller said. “The urge intensified about a decade ago, and I’ve been tending to it since.” After his elementary days at Vare Middle School, now Universal Vare Charter Middle School, 2100 S. 24th St., O’Connor attended North Philadelphia’s Simon Gratz High School, helping the Bulldogs capture the 1997 Public League title. After a year at Villanova University, he transferred to Saint Joseph’s, fashioning a fine tenure on Hawk Hill by scoring 1,678 points; earning three All-Atlantic 10 selections and as many Big 5 nods; and capturing the Palumbo Award as the quintet’s top scorer and Geasey Award as its player of the year, as well as the same conference distinction as a junior. That season included his registering a 37-point outburst against Stanford University in the NCAA Tournament and stroking 18 points in the last minute of a game against La Salle University. Crafting a fine

senior year, he hoped an NBA franchise would draft him, but he needed to build an overseas reputation when none did. “I loved the competition,” the guard said of time in Italy, Slovenia and the former Yugoslavia. “Homesickness was the lone drawback.” DISTANCE PROVED DECISIVE for O’Connor, who had enhanced his understanding of community structure by majoring in sociology. Returning to America, he opened the now-10-year-old C.O.F.A./Christian Sports Inc. Activity Center in North Philadelphia and looked for more occasions to promote positive messages and enrich neighborhoods. “I appreciate what people go through, especially families,” O’Connor, who has a wife and a 2-year-old daughter, said. “More folks need to act to create stronger households and communities.”

PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php The enthusiastic individual has expanded his business portfolio to include the aforementioned eatery; its namesake, Black Poppy’s, a convenience store at 30th and Reed streets; and an East Falls-based medical transport company of which he is part owner. “Being a businessman is definitely a thrilling venture, but I do it mostly to have an opportunity to employ friends, to remove them from negativity often surrounding this area,” O’Connor said. As active in civic matters as he was when assisting his squads, he decided late in ’11 to take on his biggest project and acquired property in Germantown last February, intending for it to become a community center. Unlike C.O.F.A., through which he offers only aids for the body, the second tract would present benefits for the brain, too. “I don’t want to provide only recreation,” O’Connor said, “because there’s a point where recreation stops and education kicks in.” Still in the preliminary phase for the endeavor, which he has learned could cost as much as $1.8 million, he foresees scheduling tutoring sessions for area students, SAT prep classes and G.E.D. instruction. Aware that job creation has proven a key topic among so many movers and shakers, O’Connor has touted vocational training in his talks with politicians and corporations. Though reaching top figures and securing backing have yet to materialize on a grand scale, he has won the approval of residents. “Going forward, I would love to have something in South Philly, too,” he said of his original turf. Though other priorities have eclipsed basketball, O’Connor maintains his jumper by playing in multiple leagues. He never allows the game to stray far from his mind, as it has enticed him to aim for more than rims. “I’ve loved what being a competitor has taught me,” O’Connor, who will become the 50th Hawk enshrined by the Big 5, said. “Aside from looking to come through for ourselves, we’re looking to help others. That’s life in a nutshell.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
