Lower Moyamensing Civic Association president Kim Massare hopes locals can make the other winter months equally notable expressions of philanthropy. She has centered her aspirations on South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., which two months ago became one of the city’s 10 participants in the Recyclebank Green Schools Program.

hough content with solitude, Ronalta Conn has enjoyed bonding with fellow seniors at the Samuel S. Fels South Philadelphia Community Center, 2407 S. Broad St., for nine years. One of more than 1,000 members of its Marconi Older Adults Center, she has contributed to its theater
group for five years, yet mounting debt will likely drop the curtain on her performances and all other activities at the 43,000-squarefoot site. Overseer Caring People Alliance has placed Fels up for sale, with the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, 2600 S. Broad St., emerging as a leading candidate to make its second purchase from the Center City-based company.
Conn, of the 2300 block of South Mildred Street, has gathered six pages of signatures for her petition to keep Fels serving friends, teenagers and young children and employing consummate workers. Her pen has proven concern for the affected parties, but her contemporaries have won her heart and roused her activist streak. See FELS page 12

Cardella: Groundhog Day
Today is Groundhog Day. In Punxsutawney (and other places around the state that are easier to spell), folks anxiously await to see if the groundhog will see its shadow. Some genius figured out that if it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow predicting six more weeks of winter, so it behooves us to root for clouds today. By Tom Cardella

Chronic hopelessness To the Editor: Block by block, many once vibrant, yet affordable neighborhoods have become casualties to the war on poverty. They have fallen so far down that the hope to save these ravaged communities is all but lost for the majority of neighbors. The only remnants of past prosperity is a monument in one of the cities rundown parks or perhaps a shell of a once bustling factory. A slew of dollar stores and pawn shops have saturated the once thriving communities. In many neighborhoods, the majority of businesses sell cheaply made and often hazardous junk. In the industrial glory days of the city, skilled craftsman once made an assortment of masterfully assembled products. Philadelphia does not even own the iconic Tastykakes corporation anymore. If your child lives in the ever expanding territory of failing public schools, consider yourself lucky, if you find a charter school for your child outside the neighborhood. It is a shame but for a growing number of children that get stuck in the neighborhood schools, the door closes on a future filled with possibilities. Too many childrens’ summers are filled with sitting on a stoop as the 100 degree heat drains their hope and energy as they routinely witness street corner drug dealers making transactions in broad daylight; as if they were delivering a community service to the forsaken. Spend time visiting an elementary school in the bad lands and ask the kids how many of them have heard gun shots at night? Ask those same group of children how many of them have a family member this is either in jail or died as a result of street violence in Philadelphia? During the height of the flash mob mayhem in a press release dated August 8, 2011 and posted on the cities official website, the mayor used, the terms “targeted enforcement districts� and “safe corridors campaign, “when he was specifically referring to the Center City and University City neighborhoods. For the most part, city officials don’t give a crap about struggling neighborhoods because it is too apparent by too many people, what you can get away with in one neighborhood does not fly with law enforcement in another. Regardless, if you’re poor or rich, black or white there shouldn’t be such a vast dis-
crepancy in police response regarding disturbances and crimes. A new term has begun for the mayor and City Council, I ask them, what are the viable solutions? Because, many people have the perception that things are not getting better in Philly. Jason Kaye Northeast Philadelphia
Punk patrol To the Editor: The violence in our city is getting out of hand. People from out of town will stop coming to see sports. The punks are jumping old people just for the fun of it. I hope they find them. If it were me, I would hand them over to the families. They are all just punks. They do this to people who are just taking a walk and come from behind. Out-oftowners see the things that are going on T.V. and see the violence, so why come here? Bring back the guardian angels, and the city should have two men walking the beats. Just look at what they did to the old man walking to a bus stop to pick up his wife. I don’t care what color they are, when I was a kid growing up in North Philly we got in one-on-one

Questioning the toque system To the Editor: Your publication is straining credibility with its “exceptional� rating of every restaurant. Within the past several months, virtually every review in “The Toque Stops Here� has awarded three tips. This renders the ratings meaningless. I would suggest that instead of displaying the weekly “three tips,� just run an editor’s note stating, “all restaurants reviewed are considered exceptional.� Your same reviewer used to assign varied ratings. There are some excellent places, but also some very good, good, average and not so good ones. Your reviews strain credibility with their uniformity.

A duo riddled a man with bullets as he returned home from getting Chinese food early Monday. As the 30-year-old walked home from New Canton Chinese Restaurant, 2100 Reed St., two unknown men walked up to him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Both pulled out firearms and shot him a total of five times at 12:40 a.m. on the 2200 block of Wharton Street. The victim ran away and called 911. Officers transported him to the HUP while detectives recovered ballistics evidence at the scene, Tolliver said. The motive was unknown at press time. One of the gunmen was described as black with a light complexion, in his early 20s, 5-foot-7, thin and wearing a gray hoody with white lettering on it. The second offender was described as black, 5-foot-7, thin and wearing a black jacket with a hoody underneath.

Probation violation One of the supposed Queen Village tire thieves has pled guilty. Alexander Reyes, 22, did so Jan. 12 to three counts of theft and conspiracy of theft. He will serve five years probation and pay $150 in restitution, according to court records. Since he violated his two-year probation stemming from a ’09 robbery for which he also spent three to 23 months in jail, Common Pleas Judge Rose DeFino-Natasi sent him back to prison for six to 23 months. Angel Echevarria, 18, awaits his March 5 Alexander Reyes preliminary hearing for nine robberies. The duo from North Philly was arrested Sept. 28 on the 700 block of South Front Street when police spotted them fleeing after an alleged theft, which was later connected to a string of incidents in the area.

A former Lower Moyamensing teacher has settled his differences with his previous employer out of court. “The issues between the parties in the above action [William Aitken vs. School District of Philadelphia et al] has been settled and upon order of the court … it is ordered that the above action is dismissed with prejudice,” according to court records. In the lawsuit filed Sept. 3, 2010, Aitken claimed students were orchestrating attacks on Asian students prior to the ’09’s assaults, so he alerted then-Principal LaGreta Brown, but the district allegedly reassigned him to a school for instructors facing disciplinary action.

ome of the arrestees from an illegal function at a Whitman Mummers club had their day in court last month. Alfred Sanborn, 45, of the 2400 block of South Third Street, and John Murray, 56, of Deptford, N.J., allegedly tended bar Oct. 11 at a monthly gathering at the Downtowners Clubhouse, 148-50 Snyder Ave., that included beer, hoagies and sexual favors costAlfred Sanborn ing $30 to $100, according to police. The two were the club’s respective steward and financial secretary. Sanborn steward pled no contest to unlawful sales of liquor and conspiracy Tuesday. He must complete the AcJohn Murray celerated Misdemeanor Program, a cost-saving mechanism that keeps misdemeanor cases from clogging the system and includes community service, according to court records. Murray was sentenced to one year in the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, a course for first-time, non-violent offenders, and community service for the same charges Jan. 25. The charges for four of the 10 alleged prostitutes that pleasured the attendees were withdrawn following the completion of the misdemeanor program, according to court records. Sherry Davidson, 41, of Northeast Philly, rejected the program and was found guilty of promoting prostitution, conspiracy and criminal solicitation Jan. 25 and will serve up to six months on probation. Jennifer Quenderfield, 36, of Conshohocken, was found guilty of the same charges Nov. 22 and placed in the program. She has served probation for three previous promoting prostitution charges. Virginia Ruiz, 47, of Bear, Del., was found guilty of promoting prostitution Jan. 11, but received no further penalty. Judith Jacobs, 37, of Sicklerville, N.J., did not appear for her Nov. 1 arraignment. There is a bench warrant out for her arrest. Regina Mahoney, 26, of Northeast Philly, and Michelle Laubner, 32, of Fish-
town, will face trial Feb. 10 and April 23, respectively. Lawrence F. Crovetti, 65, of Feasterville, who is believed to have organized the monthly endeavors, will appear in court Friday for a scheduling conference. He has been charged with promoting prostitution, conspiracy and unlawful sales of liquor.

RECYCLEBANK continued from page 1 tal pursuits at the institution, but learners need the public’s help if they are to maximize their goals. Massare, of Ninth and Wolf streets, and her five-year-old organization have assisted Southern since 2009, with more than two dozen new trees, an orchard and a composting bin proving the site’s receptivity to showing civic pride. LoMo’s UnLitter Us campaign’s fall launch on its grounds also solidified the facility’s commitment, which Massare sought to reward and strengthen by applying for a Land Beautification and Cultivation grant. “LoMo’s work at South Philadelphia High School is one facet of our organization’s plan to help create a healthier and more sustainable environment,” she said Monday of having sent her thoughts to New York-based Recyclebank. The eight-year-old company, which began its interaction with the Philadelphia Recycling Rewards program in Dec. ’09, opened its submission period in mid-September. Its website describes its schools outreach as a means “to promote green education and encourage innovative thinking.” Massare, who in November received a Local Hero award and a $5,000 grant from Bank of America for her neighborhood labors, easily beat the December deadline, seeing empowering Southern as a key step toward area advances. “I’d say that LoMo is working hard locally to fulfill both Mayor [Michael] Nutter’s mandate to make Philadelphia the greenest city in the United States by 2015, as well as Councilman [Mark] Squilla’s goal to make the 1st District the cleanest and greenest in the city,” she said. Southern, whose students have enjoyed summertime employment through the state’s Department of Community & Economic Development and Massare’s civic, responsible for Eighth to Broad streets from Oregon to Snyder avenues, initiated its latest move to alter environmental attitudes. In mid-December, Recyclebank gave the school, which also buddies with LoMo for April’s Philly Spring Cleanup, three months to convince conscientious citizens to donate the compensation from their green endeavors. With multiple accolades, including designation from the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer and inclusion on the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Outstanding Excellence in Public/Private Partnerships list, Recyclebank encourages communal responsibility mainly through promoting household recycling and reducing residential energy usage. “We trade the actions you make that have a positive impact on your home by

saving energy, community by recycling and the environment by conserving natural resources for points that you can use for rewards you choose,” according to the Recyclebank website. Prize recipients may choose from products, discounts and coupons to more than 3,000 local and national partners enticing consumers to remember their carbon footprints’ consequences. Signing up at recyclebank.com or through the cleanup allows enthusiasts to collect points, with E-ZPass technology-containing collection trucks reading each bin’s colored stickers. Since late last year, procuring points has become the Southern pupils’ principal priority. Green Schools Committee Chair Randi Desiderio e-mailed Massare to announce Recyclebank’s favorable examination of the application she and Southern English teacher Michael Southerton composed. The two received $2,245, which will require them to raise 561,250 points, the equivalent of $1 for every 250 points. Most accumulated figures come via curbside recycling and reducing trash and overall waste, but the Recyclebank website’s “earn points” tab reveals other ways to acquire the means to order items such as magazine subscriptions and restaurant gift cards. The Green Schools Program link, which lists the nation’s educational enrollees, explains how to donate and provides looks at each school’s progress through graphs. “We have such diversity at my school,” Roxborough’s Southerton, who instructs freshmen and juniors, said, noting the student body speaks 19 tongues. “Many learners come from rural countries and
have a garden background, so we thought a project like this would show similarities are more powerful than differences.” MASSARE AND SOUTHERTON will sate any horticultural hankering through an impressive roster of plans. Their grant will help them to fund supplies to green a vacant space in Southern’s parking lot, add another composting bin and decorative planters, install a rain barrel and plant more than 1,000 daffodil bulbs. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, a common collaborator with LoMo, is again teaming with Massare through its City Harvest Growers Alliance. The relationship will yield raised beds the youngsters will use to plant crops. Massare will use her Local Hero endowment to create a Student Growing Program coordinator position. The hire will confer with the students to help them to grow fruits and vegetables. They will then peddle their produce at modest prices, most likely at the Farmers Market at Broad and Ritner streets. “This will be a student-led growing program, so what we will be growing will be up to the participating students to decide,” Massare said. “We are looking forward to the bounty and beauty they will be growing.” Southerton is spreading the message to students and will discuss the grant’s elements, including the managing of a greenhouse, with his contemporaries at an upcoming professional development session. “We will be teaching one another,” he said of the opportunity to be community visionaries. Plentiful participation from residents will
benefit Southern, which as of yesterday had received $441.04 from more than 100 recyclebankers. The congratulatory e-mail states Recyclebank is matching dollar-fordollar each school’s tally, so Massare and Southerton are seeking to secure an even higher amount for their layered brainchild. With the March 15 deadline to raise the points only six weeks away, they are upping their interaction with residents, staff members and students to donate points, which the City distributes using a formula that determines a neighborhood’s overall engagement. Students will share their knowledge through presentations and tastings after the March 30 project opening and check distribution. The growing season’s conclusion will include a family potluck through which students growers, their families and community members will unite for fellowship and food. Though Southern is a Green Schools novice, Massare feels its pedigree will help in crafting a stunning project report to submit May 28. “We are looking forward to building relationships with other student groups and after-school program coordinators and would be happy to expand the circle,” she said. Southerton stated that Southern’s similar stance completes the successful union. “We all want to enhance critical thinking,” he said, “and realize our common sense of pride in our communities binds us.” SPR For more information, visit recyclebank.com.

THE COLD MORNING winds made any form of shelter desirable, and seniors and children offered a peak at the fancies of different eras as they relied on Fels’ rooms for camaraderie and education last month. Its early learning center busied itself with assisting about 64 children ages 1 to 5. The older set sampled a plethora of options, as Conn’s compadres chose from athletics, swimming and water aerobics, a healthy moves exercise class and The Quarter Pounders & Healthy Weight Management group. Four days removed from Bell’s declaration that the sale process had burgeoned, the employees and participants seemed subdued. Other than director Tony Diodati, the workers appeared reluctant to comment. “We have a strong afterschool program,” Diodati said, noting that PPACS, Abraham S. Jenks Academic Plus, 2501 S. 13th St., and St. Richard, 1826 Pollock St., are represented through the Boys and Girls Club. Numerous artistic, athletic and technological activities delight the youths and adolescents, with programming addressing civic growth. A snack keeps brains going post-classroom time, with the full-day
summer slate providing three meals. The Southeast Philadelphia Collaborative, headquartered at the Houston Center, 2029 S. Eighth St., works with Fels to offer the Teen Center, complete with computer stations, a television and ample opportunities to network. The center involves the teenagers in Boys and Girls Club programs and conferences. Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., runs health-related outreach for the seniors, who often interact with students from Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., as the latter group performs community service, Diodati said. Fels is testing a salad bar and has discussed increasing animal-assisted therapy sessions. However, the finalization of the sale would alter priorities. “This is the one part of my life I do not worry about,” a mother, who requested anonymity, said of her son’s time at Fels. Her offspring has attended the threefloor building for 10 years, joining his grandmother, who worked there for 20 years and is now a senior member. Fels’ offerings have given her family stability, and she laments what their disappearance could mean to other clans, whom she said have no options. “Where will we go?” she asked. “PPACS

is a great school, and I love that my son goes there and that they are expanding but don’t enable more dreams by destroying others.” Corosanite has corresponded with 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla to devise options for Fels’ seniors and children. Bell has talked with employees about future placement if Corosanite’s pitch proves acceptable, devising plans to transfer them to other sites and to assist with finding jobs outside of Caring People. “You could not ask for a finer group of staff,” she said. Aware of the intense emotions involved, Bell hopes to maintain a communal vibe for Fels. “We certainly appreciate how people feel,” she said. “And we are trying to make a sale to another nonprofit that will be offering critical services to families in the community.” Prepared to take her petition to anyone with clout, Conn wants the current setup left alone. “I have adapted to being alone,” the widow said, “but the other seniors need help. I am doing this for them.” SPR

standing within the company prompted a Jan. 9 meeting at Fels. “The Fels Center has been laboring under a huge debt since the day the doors opened,” Bell said, detailing that the early ’90s decision to construct the building received approval though the team behind it lacked the funds to pay for the construction. Filling a community need, its programs do not generate enough revenue to cover the lease. Insufficient status has forced Caring People to subsidize Fels through other programs’ returns. Unable to sustain more loss, Bell, who in response to an inquiry on a decision date timeline noted only that she and her colleagues are still reviewing the agreement of sale, elected to intensify talks with Corosanite. “We don’t want to sell the building,” Bell said. “We have invested a huge amount of money in this community over the years, and we have provided the community with very high quality services. And we lose a lot of money every year keeping those services going. We simply aren’t in a financial position to continue
to lose that money.”

f you ever thought your family could put on a great show, here’s your chance. Headlong Dance Theater, 1170 S. Broad St., is recruiting households to participate in their upcoming Live Arts 2012 piece, “This Town is a Mystery.” “The idea is that we would find households — and it can be a household, it doesn’t mean you have to be related. Our definition of household is that you sleep and eat in the same house together. There could be a lot of different kinds of households,” David Brick, co-founder of Headlong, said. Brick and the other two co-founders, Andrew Simonet and Amy Smith, are actively seeking the household members that will become the performers while the performances will take place in their residences during the September Live Arts Festival. “We will work with a household to create a performance by them for a small audience that comes to their home and everyone who comes in the audience will be required to bring food, so it will be a potluck in somebody’s home and performance by the members of the household,” Brick, who lives at 10th and Wharton streets, said. “That’s the thumbnail sketch.” With a rough guideline to create four separate performances, the group is in the recruiting stages for interested performers. Once applications are reviewed, the Headlong team will come to hopeful participants’ homes and make sure they are a good fit. “That’s the journey of the piece: There will likely be media or mutlimedia. What do these people like to do? What are they interested in doing? That’s the game for working on it,” the 44-year-old said. “Headlong has kind of made a career of making work that defies categorization — dance or theater. We work with performers to create a vocabulary for each piece that we make.
Lifestyles continued from previous page “We’ve done that with highly trained performers all these years. There are lots of possibilities for skills and to perform if you are willing to work and willing to perform. People will talk, people will move, there might be pictures.” Those not selected will still have the chance to participate if they are disciplined enough to follow the company’s doit-yourself instructions for creating a performance in your home. The suggestions will be posted on the project’s website in the coming months. “It’s not necessarily tricks but a way to think about making a performance in your own home — principles to create a performance,” Brick said. “If people are serious and they get through enough of the rehearsal process, Headlong will come spend a day working with the household and put it into performance shape.” BRICK GREW UP in rural Illinois before making stops in Florida and Missouri on route to attending college at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. Meanwhile, his parents and brother — all of whom are deaf — relocated to Germantown to teach at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. “I was a dance and English major. I dis-
covered dance in college, came to dance very late,” he said. “I saw performance there for the first time. Being from a deaf family, we really didn’t do a lot of cultural [events]. Deaf culture doesn’t go to a lot of theater shows. We didn’t watch TV or movies, either.” At Wesleyan, Brick saw his first performance, which was by New York’s Richard Bull Dance Theatre, and he was immediately enamored. “When I saw a dance performance in college it was unusual. It was improvisation and it had talking and moving in their pieces. I looked and I knew right away that’s what I should do,” Brick said. “I had grown up with body language, you know sign language being my first language. I didn’t realize there was an art form about the body speaking. When I saw dance I was like: I really get that, that makes perfect sense to me.” Brick met Simonet and Smith in college and they began talk of starting a company. While completing his thesis, Brick had the opportunity to perform for Bull and upon graduation he was invited to attend the dance troupe’s rehearsals, which eventually led to a position in the company. “I danced with them for three years, ’90 to ’93. I was dancing with other people in New York, too,” he said. “I was starting
evolving art community. “We kind of feel like we grew up with the current scene. We helped each other grow up,” Brick said. “Today there’s like performance training schools — Headlong has a performing institute and people from all over the country come here and attend and they end up staying in South Philly and making work.” Now, Headlong has accepted the role of creating innovating and genre-bending pieces. For “This Town is a Mystery” the special melding of cultures and neighborhoods unique to the city inspired the artists to explore — and they are hoping citizens will be interested in coming along for the ride. “Whatever community is yours, you might be living a block over from a whole other community. We love that about our urban lives and Philadelphia,” Brick said. “The art we’ve typically made, we’ve been interested in the citizen body for a long time. We’ve made different kinds of work where we put the ordinary person and they become part of the place in some way.” SPR For more information or to apply call 215-767-6881, e-mail andrew@headlong. org or visit thistownisamystery.com.

to make my own work and then in ’93 we started Headlong.” The three co-founders were in search of where to set up shop and while Brick was entertaining in New York, he found the scene there very expensive for a fledgling venture. A friend suggested Philadelphia, and the three of them gave it an interview. “We went to a couple performances here and we thought they were really great. The people making work here were great. People were really serious about the work and the ideas at play in their work,” he said. “Philadelphia is very affordable and we wanted a place to make work that was more preprocessed and complete.” Brick finished up his commitments in New York while Simonet and Smith moved to Philly to begin setting up the 50-by-50foot warehouse space at 20th Street and Snyder Avenue that would house the company. Throughout its almost two-decade lifetime, the company briefly moved to Old City and then 10 years ago it moved back to its South Philly roots. “We were still unsure, but once we moved here and started making work we pretty quickly knew we were in the right place,” he said. In the current home at Broad and Federal — which is a renovated funeral parlor — Headlong has thrived and grown with the

Groundhog Day
T
oday is Groundhog Day. In Punxsutawney (and other places around the state that are easier to spell), folks anxiously await to see if the groundhog will see its shadow. Some genius figured out that if it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow predicting six more weeks of winter, so it behooves us to root for clouds today. This entire event has been promoted to embarrass Hurricane Schwartz (the groundhog has historically been more accurate). The much celebrated event also gives Groundhog Phil something else to do besides hyping the Pennsylvania Lottery, the proceeds of which go toward helping me ride free on SEPTA. “Groundhog Day” also was the title of a popular 1993 movie starring Bill Murray. In it, Murray plays a man who lives through the same day over and over. As a Cubs fan, Murray was able to identify with premises of the film. For Cubs fans, every baseball season is much like the last since 1908, the last time the team won the World Series. I know the feeling, having covered a number of Andy Reid’s press conferences over the years. The Republican Party ought to ditch the elephant in favor of the groundhog. An elephant is supposed to be an animal that always remembers. If any Republican Party members actually recall the miserable eight years under George W. Bush, I haven’t found them. The GOP formula for success to finance two wars was a temporary tax cut and an unfunded prescription drug plan. Forgotten is that the sainted Ronald Reagan raised taxes 12 times. The GOP formula for success in 2012 is to extend the same “temporary” tax cuts and keep the unfunded prescription plan. If temporary tax cuts keep getting extended, at what point do they become permanent? If you forget the past, you are not only doomed to repeat it, you have earned the groundhog as your mascot. I don’t know about you, but every time I squirm through 60 plus minutes of another State of the Union speech, I keep thinking it’s Groundhog Day. Each year we go through the same elaborate ritual. Leaders of Congress preen as they strut through the aisle behind the president. All of them wave and blow kisses to their colleagues as if they hadn’t seen them five minutes ago. Congress members scurry like Justin Bieber fans to shake the president’s hand or get a nod in their direction. Once the president gets to the podium, he is flanked between the vice president and the speaker of
the house. Both look as if they’d rather be waterboarded than sit through the speech. Finally, the riotous applause dies down. The president is announced, and then the applause begins all over again. He opens by declaring that though we face serious challenges, the state of the union is good, whereby applause erupts again, although no one really believes it. Cameras flash to the smiling first lady, who is always flanked by the hero of the moment (the hero being one who might have landed his airliner in the Hudson River or who overcame the odds of not having a good health-care plan like the president and members of Congress). The president proceeds to encourage the cooperation of the opposition party, all of whom are as still as mummies and are thinking, “Yeah, when hell freezes over.” He proceeds to offer a laundry list of proposals that will never see the light of day or are totally forgotten five minutes after the speech is over (think George W. Bush’s promise for a new mission to Mars). As the president launches into each new promise, one side of the aisle stands and applauds while the other side sits on its hands. Occasionally, some members get confused, mistakenly stand and are tugged to their seat by an annoyed colleague. Through it all, Supreme Court members, who don’t know why they are required to be there at all, squirm uncomfortably in their seats. Finally the agony is over, the president makes his way out of the chambers, smiling and shaking hands all the way out the door as if he has just delivered the Gettysburg Address (which was about 50 minutes or so shorter). Congress members, meanwhile, are rushing for restrooms with full bladders. Cameras switch to TV commentators who summarize in five minutes what it has just taken more than an hour to deliver. They tell us that the president likely will not be able to deliver on any of his promises. Cameras switch to the chamber floor where a reporter has cornered a member of the president’s party, who gushes over the speech’s greatness. and then switch to the other side of the aisle where another reporter has grabbed an opposition member in desperate need of a restroom complaining there was nothing new in the speech. The TV anchors introduce the opposition rebuttal speech delivered by someone not popular enough to run for president that explains why the country is a sinking ship, that the president doesn’t have a clue about what to do about it, and that most likely he is entering either the advanced stages of senility or is a dreadful person who also suffers from halitosis. No one is paying any attention. The TV audience who bailed out about halfway through the speech. Shouldn’t the State of the Union speech be delivered on Groundhog Day?

Haunting ‘Inn’sight
Writer and Director Ti West gives viewers a detailed picture of what intrigued employees Claire (Sara Paxton), left, and Luke (Pat Healy) experience as the Yankee Pedlar Inn begins to show its haunted past.
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
W
ith “The Innkeepers,” the first thing writer/director Ti West does is prove that a modern horror film can be scary and still look like a million bucks. In this era of DIY, found-footage thrillers, where spookiness and value are often determined by lack of refinement, West is a very welcome respite, offering a true aesthetic and revealing grand influences like Stanley Kubrick and Roman Polanski. His haunted-hotel flick, a follow-up to the well-received “The House of the Devil,” is a real beauty, its creaky 19th-century building richly photographed and terrifically lit. The hallways and stairways and entryways have that great look of the genre — one of romanticism, but of something dreadful happening just out of frame. The duo of the title are Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), two apparent college dropouts presiding over the struggling establishment before it shuts its doors for good. Pixie-sweet yet kittencurious, Claire shows a strong interest in the hotel hauntings Luke monitors on his homespun website, a last-ditch, touristtrap effort to bring money to the inn. With the zeal of an as-seen-on-TV ghost hunter, Claire pursues the specter of a legendary woman who died on the premises centuries back, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready for what she eventually finds. West ably builds up ample tension with his slow-burn approach, filling the first hour with conversation and mere traces of a phantom menace. Knowingly embracing tropes, he throws in a washed-up actress turned medium (Kelly McGillis) who gives requisite insights on the spirit world, and a shifty old man who’d be funny if he weren’t so damned creepy. Jeff Grace’s
score, meanwhile, brings maximum impact to some seriously chilling shots. And yet, something’s amiss in this handsome campfire tale, which West whittles down so finely it seems affected and unfinished. There’s a sense the director is aiming for a commentary on the dreamlife of 21st-century 20-somethings, especially apparitional in this age of unemployment, but even that seems generous when considering the movie’s naggingly sparse narrative. Fine construction aside, there’s a difference between classy minimalism and bare-bones hoodwinking.
The Innkeepers R Two-and-a-half reels out of four Opens tomorrow at the Ritz at the Bourse
Recommended Rental Anonymous PG-13 Available Tuesday A preposterously sordid conspiracy drama that purports Shakespeare didn’t actually write his plays, Roland Emmerich’s “Anonymous” isn’t about to win a whole lot of believers. But it is one fun and delicious period piece, filled unbound intrigue (and shameless incest) among those crazy Elizabethan royals. As the duke who “actually” penned the Bard’s masterworks, Rhys Ifans gives one of 2011’s best performances.

BIGGAME
A Game Plan for Your Game-Day Bash
(Family Features) Not everyone can score tickets to the big game, but anyone can throw a big game bash to watch it with friends and family. To help you avoid making rookie party planning mistakes, Kellogg has partnered with pro running back LaDainian Tomlinson, of the New York Jets, to help you score points at your big game bash. “I know how tough it can be to please everybody, both on the field and off,” said Tomlinson. “But with some good strategy, you can plan a great party that puts a smile on everybody’s face.”
Porter Beverage Beer & Soda Open 7 Days!

Come Grab Your Great Selections Business Hours Mon. - Sat. 9AM - PM • Sun: 12PM - 5PM
Make a Party Playbook • Crunch the numbers: Count on guests each eating between 8 to 12 servings of appetizers over a two-hour period. Plan on two nonalcoholic drinks per guest during the first hour, and one for each hour after that. Buy about a pound of ice per guest for drinks. • Tackle the food prep early: Make as much of the food ahead of time as you can. Peel, chop and prep veggie trays a day or two in advance. Dips and desserts can be made the day before. If you’ll be making anything in a slow cooker, prep all your ingredients in advance as well, so that all you have to do when you wake up is put them in the cooker and turn it on.
Sack Boring Snacks
Recruit a Great Team • Call on your special teams: If you want a great dessert, but don’t bake, ask your baking friends to work their magic for the party. Get the resident chili expert to make his best, and let your friend the décor expert set the scene. They’ll enjoy working in their zones, and you get a few things taken off your to-do list. • Let the Pee Wee League play, too: Get the kids involved with party prep. Older ones can help you make food and younger ones can set out utensils, cups and plates. You can appoint some special “Trash Referees” to patrol the party and help clean up plates and cups during the game, so there’s not a big mess to clean up afterward.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I february 2, 2012
• Stock up on all-star ingredients: Make sure you have plenty of the things your team really likes. Crowd-pleasers like Cheez-It, Town House Flipside crackers, Keebler cookies, and Rice Krispie Treats make adults and kids alike happy, and they can be used as ingredients in other dishes, too. • Run a surprise play: Try a new recipe like these Spicy Touchdown Tenders. They get a surprising, crunchy kick from Cheez-It Hot & Spicy crackers. Serve them with some Buffalo sauce and they’ll be the MVPs of your party.

ometimes, the best things in life are those that have been passed down for generations. Such is the case with Marlene Tenuto’s Old World Style Lentil Soup, which is based on a recipe she learned from her grandmother. The resident of the 1500 block of Hulseman Street, who is a nutritionist, makes the soup her own by adding some red wine and a variety of spices, including hot pepper flakes. As winter pushes on, this lentil soup provides a healthy, body-warming alternative. SPR

Even Sandy who does not care for rare beef inhaled her slice. Sandy and I shared a bowl of tiny, steamed Manila clams ($16) with housemade Andouille sausage in a sauce so fine, I used spoon and polished it off. The clams married beautifully with the spiciness of the sausage. We also enjoyed Brussels sprouts with heady mushrooms ($7) with our entrées. Service was as fine as you would get in an upscale, white-tablecloth restaurant.

roasted beets ($7). I have eaten pork and duck rillettes in France and at The Four Seasons Hotel. Sabatino cooked the juicy rabbit in fat, seasoned it, pounded it into a rough paste, topped it with a slightly sweet, homemade pear conserve and scooped it into a cute small glass wide-mouthed jar. He topped the rillette with a sprig of microgreens and buttery croutons. Edward and I were into the rabbit. I don’t think I have ever tasted pork liver. The terrine imparted a rich, nicely seasoned flavor and texture that Edward and I found most agreeable. Baguette and pickled vegetable slices were served with the pate. Sandy likes chicken liver pate but nixed a taste of this marvelous appetizer. Red and yellow beets were rubbed with salt and roasted before they were cooled and diced. Sabatino trimmed the salad with microgreens and drizzled on a light dressing made with pomegranate seeds. Sandy adored it and so did I. Our server told us happy hour runs until 7 p.m. if we wanted an order of bucka-shuck oysters. We should have ordered two dozen of the tiny, salty glistening oysters harvested from the Pacific Northwest. The bartender recommended a Montoya Zinfandel from California to pair with Edward's steak dinner. The three of us pronounced it rich and fruity — the perfect go-with for a rare steak. Cap steak ($23) is akin to hanger steak but much more tender. Sabatino seared it perfectly rare, sliced it and topped it with

ithin the past 50 years, many people have influenced the way Americans dine out and cook at home. James Beard and Julia Child had strong hands in championing what we now call American cuisine. Both would have approved of every mouthful in each dish I sampled at Stateside, a two-month-old new American gastropub on East Passyunk Avenue. Under the direction of chef George Sabatino, the kitchen prepares an array of splendid fare sourced from local farms and purveyors. Stateside is so all-American, you will not find Scotch whiskey or British gin. The staff is dedicated to serving cocktails prepared with small artisan batches of Bourbon and rye or a martini made with Bluecoat gin. I like a Rob Roy, but since Stateside does not stock Scotch, the barkeep made me a perfect Manhattan made with Bullett Rye ($12), which I fell in love with on the first sip and nursed throughout dinner. The manager advised Edward, Sandy and me there would be a 30-minute wait. The place was packed, so we found seats at the bar. The atmosphere was a tad too dark for me to adequately describe the decor. However, I liked the exposed brick behind the bar and the hanging lights. It could have been a whitewashed room because the food is the star at Stateside. The menu is mostly little plates, but has three entrées. We shared rabbit rillettes ($8), pork liver terrine ($11) and salt-

Whether watching Sunday’s big game or a classic film, accompany the evening’s entertainment with a fine cut. This meal will add sizzle to an exciting night. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
T
oday is Groundhog Day. Do you know what that means? It is time to watch Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell fall in love in one of the most original, funny, charming films ever made. Several years ago TBS ran “Groundhog Day” over and over again for more than 24 hours. If you’ve seen the film, you know why. Murray plays an in-love-with-himself Pittsburgh-based weatherman who has covered Groundhog Day for four years. He detests this assignment, finding it degrading. MacDowell is his new producer who loves piano music and French poetry, especially the sensual poetic musings penned by Charles Baudelaire. He’s miserable, she’s having fun. I won’t give away the plot or details. The New York Giants and the New England Patriots will clash in Sunday's Super Bowl. I am cooking up recipes for those of you who want to see “Groundhog Day” and those who prefer the pigskin. Music plays an integral part in the movie. Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe,” “The Pennsylvania Polka,” “Eighteenth Variation” from Rhapsodie on a Theme of Paganini by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Ray Charles’s marvelous rendition of
“You Don’t Know Me” keep the storyline flowing. The national anthem is the musical star of the Super Bowl. Back to football. I looked to New York, the capital of the world. I am rooting for the Giants and think Eli Manning and his teammates will carry them to the win. Football makes me think about steak. There’s the New York strip and the Delmonico, which is one of my favorite cuts. It is a boneless rib-eye introduced at Manhattan’s Delmonico Hotel in the 19th century. If you’re going to see “Groundhog Day,” I offer you my very French Beef in Red Wine. The cocktail of choice before the events? A manhattan, of course.
■ Delmonico Steaks ■ with Herb Butter Ingredients:
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened Small handful of fresh herbs of choice, chopped 4 6-ounce grass fed Delmonico steaks, at room temperature, patted dry with paper towels Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons of Canola oil 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
Directions: Place the butter in a bowl and mash it about. Add the herbs and blend well. Place the butter on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll up like a carpet. Place in the refrigerator. Season the steaks with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a cast-iron skillet. Sear the steaks for about five minutes on each side for rare, or a few more minutes for medium-rare. Place the steaks on four heated plates and top with a round of the herb butter. Serves four.
■ Beef in Red Wine ■ Ingredients: 2 pounds of chuck, cut into 1-and-onehalf-inch pieces, patted dry with paper towels Enough Canola oil to coat the bottom of a 4-quart pot Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 4 heaping tablespoons of flour 1 32-ounce package of beef stock 2 cups of dry red wine 2 tablespoons of tomato paste 2 bay leaves Sprinkling of dry thyme 1 pound of cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 shallots, sliced 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
Directions: Heat the pot over high and add the oil. Working in batches, sear the chuck cubes on all sides, using a slotted spoon to remove them to a bowl. When all of the cubes are seared, place them into the pot. Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle on the flour and using a wooden spoon, cook the flour, tossing the cubes around in the pot. Add remaining ingredients except for the mushrooms, shallots and butter. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, lower to simmer and cook for about two hours. During the last 30 minutes of cooking time, sauté the mushrooms and shallots in hot butter in a small pan. Add them to the stew and heat through. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: I like to serve the stew with steamed potatoes or egg noodles. I usually use a Cotes du Rhone, Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbac in this recipe. Begin dinner with a simple green salad.

Bok guard Jaleel Bennett, with the ball, scored seven points against the Rockets and registered a deuce in Tuesday’s division-clinching victory. S ta f f p h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

ts members cannot match the renown of the ballers at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., but the boys’ basketball team at Edward Bok High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., has given East Passyunk Crossing residents another squad to feel thrilled to support. A welcome combination of factors has sparked the latter, which downed Roxborough, 66-54, in a Tuesday home tilt to claim the Public League’s Division D title. The game helped the Wildcats to rebound from Friday’s 62-52 nonleague road loss to Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., which showed the afternoon crowd that the postseason should offer compelling competition. “Added structure and discipline,” coach Greg Frangipani, of the 1900 block of Forrestal Street, said just before Friday’s tipoff of his group’s success. Formerly the girls’ leader, he became the boys’ chief when the position opened following the April 9 passing of Lloyd Jenkins. The deceased coach’s last team registered a 4-13 mark that included a 6664 triumph at Audenried, but Frangipani’s senior-heavy initial group arrived in Grays Ferry with a 14-3 record. As Audenried represents the Public League’s Division C, the contest presented only a chance to grab bragging rights.
Additional gusto has helped an East Passyunk Crossing basketball team to earn a division crown.
“This is like their NBA championship,” assistant James Jones, a 2006 Bok graduate said. “Let’s keep our intensity high.” A resident of the 1500 block of South Mole Street, he last year concluded his collegiate career at Doylestown’s Delaware Valley College, turning the Aggies from doormats to Division III contenders. He began conditioning the players in September and, like Frangipani, saw following Jenkins as a massive, yet educational challenge. The host Rockets, coming off a 14-4 season yet struggling at 6-11, sought to send the Wildcats back to their turf with a need for further instruction. The guests, without senior guard and leading scorer Sean McLean, who was recovering from a twisted ankle in a Jan. 26 road win over Bodine, seemed unprepared and yielded the game’s first 11 points. Pass-happy, the visitors finally worked the rock to junior guard Deonte West, whose free throws four minutes in began their scoring and helped them to feel free to fire more shots. Hesitation slightly remained yet Audenried’s 20-12 bulge after the first quarter
bred optimism. “I guarantee you they will fall if you take shots when you’re open,” Jones said as his charges vowed a turnaround. Conversions came in the second frame, as the Wildcats balanced interior and perimeter offerings. Guard Rasul Jackson used his lethal lefty shots to bury two three-pointers, and fellow sophomore guard Jeff Spearman added a triple that put Bok up 25-24 with halftime approaching. Two buckets put the home team ahead 28-25 as the combatants regrouped in their locker rooms. “The defense was much better in that quarter,” Frangipani said as his athletes devised ways to fashion a negative beginning to their host’s weekend. With a 10-1 league mark prior to Tuesday’s regular-season finale, the Wildcats had clinched their first playoff berth in three years and had already amassed one more conquest than the last two squads managed to win altogether. Their total also topped the nine overall wins for the ’0809 outfit, which lost its playoff opener to Simon Gratz. This year’s players wanted
to brush aside Audenried to prepare to take the division title, which they earned by stunning previusly undefeated Roxborough. In a season that has featured a mix of blowouts and nail-biters, they knew the Rockets would want to launch more offenses. “Kick the ball out to the open man,” Jones, whose 1,526 postsecondary points prove his willingness to hoist jumpers, said as the youngsters headed out to overturn the deficit. THE ASSISTANT, ARMED with a number of offensive and defensive strategies that he dubbed “Memphis” and “West Virginia,” among others, implored senior Jaleel Bennett to up his intensity, and the ballhandler obeyed by tallying seven of his team’s 12 third-quarter points and playing tight defense. Little separated the adversaries, with Bok shaving one point off Audenried’s lead to make the affair a 39-37 battle as the final session began. “Tighten up,” Jones commanded as Audenried looked for interior openings. The last eight minutes featured the day’s most frenetic action, as the hosts looked for payback for last January’s loss to Bok and the visitors hoped to make the frenzied crowd, with assistance from cheerleaders with more encouraging words than a self-help guru, go silent. Senior guard I-Meir Martin, appeared destined to stun the spectators.
Sports The team’s second leading scorer, he deposited 10 of Bok’s 15 points in the period, with a beautiful three-pointer giving the Wildcats a 47-45 edge with four minutes left. Sloppy ballhandling and shoddy foul shooting let the Rockets assert themselves, as they registered 17 points over the last four minutes to delight their fans. Managing only five over the same stretch, the Wildcats shook hands as a double-digit victim. “I’m not mad,” Jones said to the Bok contingent. “I like the intensity, so pick your heads up.” “So you don’t get bragging rights,” Frangipani said. “Go get the division title.” Jackson appeared upset yet deter-

mined to have the setback serve as inspiration for the future. “We’ve had ups and downs,” the Southwest Philadelphia resident said. “Shots didn’t fall but they will next time.” The attempts indeed fell Tuesday, as Jackson and his mates protected a fourthquarter lead courtesy of Martin, wo posted 24 points, McLean, who dropped 18, and senior Jihad Ward, who scored 14. Public League officials determined the Wildcats’ playoff foe after press time. “The overall shooting had to be better,” Jones said of securing postseason momentum. “We had to be bold.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.
