hough most are more than four times his junior, more than 100 local students learned Saturday why millions of people adore singer-songwriter Paul Simon. Members of the Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St., and the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., concert choirs joined the legend at The Academy of Music 154th Anniversary Concert, the Philadelphia Orchestra’s chief fundraiser, providing assistance on three songs.

No more counsel for Council A Packer Park politico announced her retirement days before the 60th anniversary of her becoming a City employee. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

“I

feel as if I am leaving home. This has truly been my life,” City Council President and 2nd District Councilwoman Anna C. Verna said Jan. 27. At a City Hall press conference three days prior, the 79-year-old leader announced her retirement, effective next January. Her departure will end a history-making career that began 60 years ago Tuesday. The lone female head in the Council’s history, Verna will leave with the distinction of having been the longest-serving City employee, Council member and president. Last week’s disclosure has generated immediate buzz surrounding her possible successors and discussions of her legacy. It also has left the resident of The Reserves in Packer Park contemplating her impending transition. “I wish I could tell you,” she said of her future purSee VERNA page 9

Word on the Street

Letters

What grade would you give the City for its snow cleanup efforts this winter?

Call of duty

“It’s not an A and not an F, but it’s somewhere in between. The city’s not good at it compared to Buffalo and other northeast cities.” Joe Borelli, 11th and Ritner streets

“I’d give it a C in comparison to other years. The City is usually on the ball and prepared for winter, but this has been a bad year.” Santo DiBella, Broad and Wolf streets

“They’ve done a good job on the main roads, so I’d give that a B, but the side streets are a D- and they need to do something about them.” Chris DeMarco, Ninth and Porter streets

To the Editor: I would like to thank the firemen of Engine 53, Ladder 27, 414-16 Snyder Ave., for their kindness and helpfulness. Mayor Nutter is a fool for putting our city in danger with the closing of our firehouses. These men not only put their lives on the line fighting fires, but they are always there to help a neighbor in need. The firefighters of Engine 53 came to aide the neighbors of the 300 block of Mercy Street recently. You always hear people say, “watch out for your older neighbors” and that is exactly what we were trying to do. These wonderful men came to our block to check on one of our older neighbors. Sad to say, the women had passed, but we are very grateful for these men who took the time to help. Thank you guys. Peggy Taylor South Philadelphia

Postive send-off “I give them a D. It’s fine on the main roads, but the side streets are awful.” Jessica Papale, 13th and Shunk streets Interviews by Evan Jacoby Photos by Greg Bezanis

To the Editor: I am writing to thank Councilwoman Anna Verna for her many years of public service and to acknowledge her contributions not only to South Philadelphia but the entire city. As an Italian-American woman from South Philadelphia, I was always grateful for the leading example of Councilwoman Verna as an accomplished professional woman during a time when few women, especially Italian-Americans, worked outside the home. By her commitment to public service, she offered young women real career options beyond the traditional nursing and teaching jobs and she showed how to succeed with dignity, grace and style. I am confident that she will continue to show us how it’s done in the years to come. Maria (Massi) Walker South Philadelphia

Shoveling strain To the Editor: I think Mayor Nutter has a lot of nerve asking residents to shovel out the storm drains at the end of the streets. After five storms this season, I have not seen nor heard a snow plow go through the 300 block of Glad-

stone Street, yet the snow is piled up at Third and Gladstone streets. This snow must be from Third Street. I always thought the taxes we pay to the city were to help the city give services to the residents. Apparently this is not true for all sections. He also said that 99 percent of the city’s streets have been plowed. I guess South Philly’s smaller streets make up the other 1 percent — the forgotten ones. He doesn’t take into consideration we have a lot of seniors and people with health problems down here. At 78 years old with a heart problem, I, for one, will never shovel city property. I have to pay someone to shovel for me. Again Mayor Nutter speaks with foot in mouth. George Munce South Philadelphia

Breathe easier To the Editor: In light of recent influenza activity, I’d like to stress how vitally important it is for everyone — child, adult and senior — to get vaccinated for the influenza virus. We all are “faces” of influenza and at risk of contracting the virus. This year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a universal influenza vaccination recommendation to include everyone 6 months of age and older. The new recommendation reinforces annual influenza vaccination as a public health priority and highlights the need for everyone to talk to their health care provider about immunization. Influenza, a serious respiratory illness, results in an average of 36,000 deaths and 226,000 hospitalizations each year. Combined with pneumonia, influenza is the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S. Those who are at most risk of influenza infection or complications include children; adults 50 years and older; pregnant women; those with chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, COPD, heart disease and diabetes; and residents of long-term care facilities and nursing homes. In the state of Pennsylvania, over two million are under the age of 18 and nearly 1.6 million are age 65 and older. Over 980,000 residents of the state suffer from asthma and over

726,000 suffer from diabetes. Our Faces of Influenza campaign is designed to help Pennsylvania residents put a face on this serious disease and recognize the importance of annual influenza immunization for themselves and their loved ones. We at the American Lung Association in Pennsylvania urge you and your loved ones to get vaccinated against influenza this and every year. Additional information about influenza, vaccination and the Faces of Influenza campaign can be found at www. facesofinfluenza.org. Deb Brown President and CEO American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic

Attention-getter To the editor: As a lifelong educator and child advocate, I read with great interest Joseph Myers’ report on the plan to revitalize Grays Ferry and Point Breeze (“Full dream ahead,” Jan. 27). The brainchild of Kenny Gamble and A. Rahim Islam for a “cradle-to-career” wrap-around intervention for disadvantaged children deserves our attention. There are some caveats, however. A program of this scale is very costly. It will be expensive to maintain and difficult to replicate. Who will continue to fund it? I also hope they do not follow Harlem’s Geoffrey Canada’s example when he expelled his entire first class of middle school students for not getting good enough test scores to satisfy his board of trustees. Promises made to children must be kept. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

he trio was apprehended after successfully stealing about $200 from three of the five small grocery stores they attempted to rob. Dongchul Park and Francis Hines, both 28, from the 2500 block of South Darien Street, and Jesse McPherson, 29, of Fairmount, were charged with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, theft, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime and related offenses, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. In most cases, McPherson is believed to have robbed the store after Hines scoped it out. Park allegedly drove the getaway car, which was a rental vehicle. McPherson allegedly entered Betty Grocery, 2747 S. 10th St., at 11:30 a.m. Jan. 23, pointed a light-colored BB gun at the clerk and demanded money, Tolliver said. He fled with $54 to $60. The trio supposedly arrived at Ho Choi Grocery, 2300 S. Ninth St., at 9:20 a.m. the next day, Tolliver said. McPherson is believed to have entered the store pointing the BB gun toward an employee and said, “give me the money or I’ll shoot you.” However, when the worker reached down to push the robbery alarm, McPherson allegedly admitted he fled thinking she may have a gun. Thirty minutes later, McPherson supposedly strolled in Little Pete’s Deli, 2600 S. Sixth St., Tolliver said. Still armed, he is believed to have demanded money and fled with $60 to $100. An hour later, the three arrived in Kensington where McPherson supposedly drove to Sepviva Grocery, Tolliver said. Hines allegedly checked the store out before Park allegedly robbed the place of $20 to $50. At 11:50 a.m. Jan. 25, Hines is believed to have peered in the window of Tienda Sagrado Corazon, 1815 S. Eighth St. When an employee noticed, she ran to the door and locked it before calling the police. McPherson then allegedly also tried to open the door. The trio fled empty-handed when they saw police, and McPherson is believed to have discarded the firearm out the window while fleeing. Hines violated his probation after plead-

ing guilty to a May burglary Sept. 30, according to court records. He was sentenced to three to 23 months in prison and a year of probation.

Danger zone A man was caught in gunfire while strolling through Grays Ferry Sunday morning. Philadelphia Housing Authority employees at Wilson Park flagged down police after hearing gunshots at 11:31 a.m. and directed officers to Marston Terrace, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Police located a 19-year-old man on the 2700 block of Wolf Street with a wound to his right leg. A medic transported him to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in stable condition. The man was walking with friends when they heard gunshots and ran, Tolliver said. He felt pain in his leg, continued to run to a friend’s house and called 911. Police located ballistics evidence at the scene, Tolliver said. One of the shooters was described as black, age 18 to 20, 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11 with a medium build, wearing blue jeans, a black knit cap and carrying a black revolver while the other was described as black, age 18 to 20, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 with no facial hair, wearing a gray crewneck sweatshirt and blue jeans and carrying a silver handgun. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Targeted again A Lower Moyamensing bank was robbed for third time since July. One of the most recent alleged bandits was nabbed the same day. Two men entered Wachovia Bank, 2227 S. Broad St., at noon Jan. 26 and one handed the teller a plastic bag and a demand note stating, “this is not a joke. I want 20s, 50s and 100s, all drawers. No dye pack or GPS. Don’t be stupid,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The teller handed back the note and the bag that now contained $883.75. The men fled through the parking lot eastbound to-

Police Report ward Juniper Street. Kevin Schaefer, 31, of the 1600 block of South Camac Street, was arrested later that day, FBI Special Agent J.J. Klaver said. He was charged with robbery, conspiracy to committ robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, possession of an instrument of crime, terroristic threats, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person, according to court records. The second man has not yet been apprehended. To report information, call the FBI at 215-418-4000.

A man indicated via telephone that a specific SEPTA bus running along Oregon Avenue contained an explosive device last week. Police K-9 and Bomb Squad units responded to the 1000 block of Oregon Avenue where the G bus had pulled over after an unknown man called a SEPTA service manager at 8:17 p.m. Jan. 27 alerting the employee that there was a bomb on the No. 8012 Route G bus, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The driver and passengers were escorted away from the vehicle and police did a sweep of the bus, which was then declared safe. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I FEBRUARY 3, 2011

Two men broke into an elderly man’s Newbold home overnight, threatened his life and ransacked the place, but did not take anything. The 72-year-old was asleep on the first floor of his home at 4:19 a.m. Sunday when two men shattered the glass of his back door and entered the property on the 1700 block of Pierce Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One covered the man’s face with a pillow and said, “if you say anything, I’ll kill you.” The duo rummaged through the second floor as the man knocked on his neighbor’s doors to call the police. The pair fled in an unknown direction. The man was unharmed, but taken to Methodist Hospital for observation. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

continued from page 1 young voices gained a reminder that talent never discriminates. Part of the 19-school All City Choir, GAMP and CAPA joined with Northeast High School for the packed gathering. Dorina Morrow, CAPA’s choral music director, received an invitation from Baruch/Gayton Entertainment Group, a Burbank, Calif.based company that has now produced the Academy’s last five anniversary bashes. “We found out just before Christmas,” the Girard Estate school’s music director and vice principal Dr. Jack Carr said of accepting Morrow’s invitation. With little time for preparation, Carr and Morrow remained calm, confident their well-tested charges would perfect their contributions to the 12-time Grammy Award winner’s pieces. Though last week’s miserable weather cancelled Friday’s classes and extracurricular activities for their School District of Philadelphia peers, the concert choir constituents needed to venture to Center City for rehearsals. “I would say I had 65 of my 70 representatives show,” Carr said of the students’ diligence. “The others let me know of their situation. That so many showed on a snow day proves these are motivated students who want to be involved in their artistic fields.” Appreciation for the opportunity was not lost on the singers, even if they had known little of the main attraction. “I think many of us are maybe too young to appreciate what we experienced,” GAMP senior Terri Allen said of interacting with Simon, who catapulted to fame in the 1960s with friend Art Garfunkel before spending most of the last 40 years as a solo artist. Allen, of Southwest Philadelphia, had some knowledge of the poetic tunesmith through her father. “He said to me, ‘Terri, Paul Simon is the man,’” Allen, who played the school’s lead in November’s “Hairspray” production, said. “After meeting him, I realized Paul Simon is actually the man!” The diminutive guitarist paid the students a backstage visit Friday, changing his ’73 hit “Loves Me Like a Rock” to include a harmony for them to use at the performance. “He was quite intimate with us,” Allen, who tabbed Simon as the biggest celebrity she has met, said, adding that a brief encounter with the night’s other star, soprano Renee Fleming, upped everyone’s excitement. “We didn’t perform with her, but she has cordial, too.” A sophomore from Germantown, Christian Eason enjoyed the formality of the event, for

Schools revamped

CAPA concert choir members Katie Tursi, from left, Rachael Conte, Zoe Gleason Volz and Rabiyah Mujahid helped out music legend Paul Simon on three classic songs. The evening increased their knowledge of a ﬁgure whose biggest hits came before they were born.

s part of its Imagine 2014 plan, the School District of Philadelphia announced it would transform five area under-performing schools. The second phase of the Renaissance Schools Initiative has 18 slated to be revamped. Locally, James Alcorn, 2300 Dickinson St., and Smith Academics Plus, 1900 Wharton St., will follow the Promise Academy Model while South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St., will transform to a Promise Innovation Model. Charles Y. Audenried Sr. High, 3301 Tasker St. and Edwin H. Vare, 2100 S. 24th St., will become part of the Promise Neighborhood Partnership Model that Universal Companies, 800 S. 15th St., is spearheading. “Recognizing that a ‘one size fits all’ approach would not yield maximum results, this year we have strengthened the program by expanding the reform models from two to four to best meet the needs of each school entering the program,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Arlene Ackerman said in a release.

which attendees paid $185 per ticket. “Their attire impressed me,” he said of seeing men in top hats and ladies in fulllength gowns. “It was a big privilege to have been there.” THE STUDENT CONTINGENT joined the crowd by donning formal wear, as did Simon, who has always enjoyed casual gear more. The schools’ young talents returned an hour before the 7:30 p.m. start to check their notes and their nerves after spending the earlier part of the day solidifying their parts. Fleming performed with the orchestra, which once used the Academy for most of its performances, blending opera pieces with musical theater and folk selections. Though she returned for a concluding duet, the rest of the evening belonged to Simon, whose music lent a bit of novelty to CAPA’s and GAMP’s repertoires that mainly have focused on classical and musical theater peices. He sang four songs before the South Philadelphia flavor joined him, with the CAPA group especially jazzed. The Hawthorne’s school’s concert choir consists mainly of juniors and seniors, but three exceptional sophomores represented the younger set well. “I know who he is from his work with Garfunkel,” Zoe Gleason Volz of Front and Mifflin streets said. “I know he is popular among older people,” Katie Tursi of 20th and Geary streets added chuckling. “It was great to work

with someone so famous.” “I know him from the Honda commercial,” Rabiyah Mujahid of 16th and Christian streets added, referring to an advertisement’s use of Simon’s ’70 “The Only Living Boy in New York.” Fittingly, Mujahid joined CAPA’s throng in helping Simon with the aforementioned song. His tutelage on “Loves Me Like a Rock” paid off, as the performance segued into a stirring rendition, complete with hand clapping of the No. 2 Billboard Magazine hit. Always held as a sterling example of Simon’s talent, “The Boxer,” a ’69 song that reached No. 7, ended the City Choir’s presence at the celebration, resulting in cheers that made senior Rachael Conte, of 17th and Packer streets, the definition of content. “The night went so well,” she said. “Everyone was dressed to the nines, and it was so special to be around someone of that caliber.” As for the time assisting Simon, Morrow knows the students will preserve their memories. “They were thrilled to death to work with him,” she said. “When he talked with us, he was as kind as could be. The students sensed his pride in being there, and they showed theirs to him and the audience.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Donatucci succeeds husband

aria Donatucci will complete the term her husband was elected to in November days before his passing. The resident of the 2500 block of South Cleveland Street defeated her Republican opponent Lewis Harris Jr. 94.8 percent to 5.2 percent with a turnout of more than 1,700, according to the Department of State’s election returns. Donatucci will be sworn in as the 33rd woman representative — the highest number to date, according to a press release by the House Democratic Caucus. “Bob Donatucci was taken from us much too suddenly last fall and we have felt his absence,” House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody said in a statment. “Having Maria Donatucci come here to succeed Bob is very fitting and she is going to do a great job for the people of her district.”

VERNA continued from page 1 suits. “I have been asking myself for several months.” For 36 years representing the 2nd District, however, she has known exactly what to do, deeming herself a “consensus-builder” with a penchant for “turning dreams into realities.” “I think what you do, you do it from your heart, and you do it because you think that it is the best thing to do,” Verna said of her positions, with the presidency granting her the final say on committee assignments, contracts and hearings. Thoughts of retirement surfaced last summer, but adrenaline rushes during Council sessions only made thoughts of departing harder. “I realized how much love I have for my communities,” Verna said of escaping sweltering temperatures to discuss the future of America’s first capital city with her 16 colleagues. She has led the legislative body since 1999 and has overseen its 2nd District since ’75, ingratiating herself to the latter’s 150,000 constituents.

Verna said began when she was a girl. Cibotti’s death in ’75 prompted a special election that Verna won, beginning a string of large victories. In addition to her father’s influence, Verna credits her late partner, Cavalier Severino Verna, for molding her. “He told me he was going to put me on Broadway; instead, he put me on Broad Street,” she said of her subsequent move from Point Breeze to the 1200 block of South Broad Street. In ’57, her husband co-founded the Columbus Day Parade, a celebration for which she has served as chairwoman since ’76 and to which she hopes to continue to contribute. His suffering a stroke prompted their move to The Reserves condominium she still calls home, and his June 2009 death has factored into her list of her most cherished projects. “I have worked hard for neighborhood housing, especially for seniors,” Verna, who in December attended the opening of Osun Village, 2308-14 Grays Ferry Ave., a 16-unit development for the elderly, said. She derives pride from introducing legislation that kept seniors on the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly from having to pay more in property taxes. The continued on nxt page

News seek a return to office only one day later. Though she feels she would have scored another big November victory, Verna has decided not to court controversy and plans to honor her initial decision. “DROP is a complicated issue,” Verna, who will collect $584,777, said, adding that the program’s design is to be cost neutral, meaning its cost is not to be higher than the revenue it would generate. “If I had not gone into DROP, I probably could have continued putting money into my pension fund, and I probably would have been getting more money,” she said. As her retirement countdown commences, Verna feels her passion for assisting people would have been high no matter which area she represented but that serving South Philadelphia has been invaluable. “Knowing these people from my youth has helped. They have made my job more like a familial obligation,” she said. Because South Philadelphia’s streets matter so much to her, Verna has one big requisition for her successor. “Care about and work hard for these communities,” she said. “They demand your respect.” SPR

1995 legislation, now law, allowed them to remain in their abodes. Securing a citywide ban on public drinking, helping to close nuisance bars, cutting down the number of vacant spaces and assisting with the expansion of the Philadelphia International Airport and the Philadelphia Naval Business Center, 1413 Langley Ave., which she calls “a city within a city,” also have fostered her joy. That she has served as a pioneer for the city’s female leaders delights her, too. “When I began, many people thought a woman’s place was in the home,” she said. “I thought if I were out in the community, I could make the way for women to follow.” Concerning possible successors, Verna stressed timeliness. “It is much too premature to say who it will be,” Verna said, adding that the election and three more Council figures’ decisions to retire will check any surefire predictions on what 2012 will yield. She has faced tough questions about the city’s Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP), through which employees can accumulate pension payments once they set a retirement date. A loophole allows workers to retire, collect their payments and

SPR: Has desiring to be a City Councilwoman been a lifelong goal? Capozzi: I wouldn’t say so. I believe that my lifelong goal has been to see Philadelphia realize its potential as a worldclass city. Everything I have done professionally has been to work towards that goal. President Verna’s decision to not seek reelection after her term is complete has opened up an opportunity for me to further pursue my goal from a position of greater strength and influence. As Ben Franklin said, “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” I couldn’t agree more. The last thing our district needs is someone who wants this position because of the prestige, power or pay the office provides. We need someone who wants the work. That someone is me. I am running for City Council so that I can continue to do the work the way it should be done because my neighbors deserve no less.

SPR: What have been your interactions with Council President Anna Verna? Has she encouraged your political identity? Capozzi: President Verna may not realize it, but she has been a role model for me since I was just a student. It may seem

funny now, but it wasn’t too long ago that the idea of a powerful female politician was unthinkable. President Verna has blazed a trail for women all over the City to participate in politics and she has done it not with fire and fury, but with class and grace. I’m more known for the fire and fury but I hope that, if elected, I can continue her legacy of class, grace and fair-minded compassion for her constituents.

SPR: How do you feel your real estate and law careers would assist you as a City Councilwoman? Capozzi: My legal training and career has taught me to take my time, analyze every issue from every possible angle and find a solution in which everybody walks away a winner. I was taught that law was about being fair, about finding a way to improve everybody. I carry that lesson with me every day. My real estate career has taught me that every neighborhood, every street can be beautiful. It has taught me that through vigilant protection and community pride, everyone can be proud to call their house their home. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news.

Keeping the peace

A local educator gets a distinction from the National Liberty Museum for inspiring students and focusing her efforts on the art of conflict resolution. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

essica Marine is a hero. At the very least, the Newbold resident is a hero to her sixth-grade students at St. Francis de Sales, a Catholic school in Southwest Philadelphia. Luckily, the people at the National Liberty Museum are taking note. “What I know about it is I was nominated by a friend, Stephanie Scordia. She is somebody I went to graduate school with. She is a college professor at the Community College of Philadelphia. She nominated me and I didn’t know about the award at all,” the 15th-andMoore-streets resident said. The award is the “Teacher as Hero” award, an annual honor bestowed by the National Liberty Museum to educators who volunteer in the community, demonstrate extraordinary creativity in the classroom and diffuse bullying situations, among other things. Marine, a three-year instructor of language arts, exemplifies the award’s stipulations. “[Conflict resolution] is definitely a focus in my classroom. My school, that I’m teaching at, has a whole school-side model for conflict resolution. We have a peace program at our school,” Marine, 27, said. “The whole

S ta f f p h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

Lifestyles thing is to have students, if there’s a conflict, sit down and talk it out. We have a peace room.” As one of a handful of recipients of the 2011 “Teacher as Hero” award, Marine was invited to a ceremony at the museum Jan. 27, but the snow day pushed it to be rescheduled at a to-be-determined date. The honor, more so than the award, is what Marine is most thankful for. “It’s just sort of really close to my heart. I was just really so touched and honored to be nominated and then to be recognized in such good company, too.” Marine, who receives a year-long membership to the museum and a free guided tour for her class, said “The whole thing has been really so heartwarming. My school community and my principal really support me. The school’s been really great about making me feel, I don’t know, it just makes me feel proud.” Marine, however, is still humble as she says she learns more from her students than they could possibly learn from her. The museum’s honor will be the first teaching-related distinction for the bourgeoning educator. “This might sound strange, but it makes me feel proud of my students. They make me want to be the best teacher I can be. They inspire me everyday,” she said. “At

‘I feel like it’s for [my students] and it makes me want to be better, the award pushes me to do better, be better for them everyday.’ —Jessica Marine the end of the year, I always say to my students, whatever you learned from me, I think I learned way more from you.” MARINE, A NEW Jersey native, moved to the area three years ago when she settled in Passyunk Square at Seventh and Dickinson streets, while commuting to finish her graduate degree in English at West Chester University. “I love Philadelphia and I grew up in Winslow Township, about 30 minutes south from Philadelphia,” Marine, who completed her bachelor’s in the same subject as her master’s at Rowan University, said. “Ever since I was kid I’ve always been coming to Philadelphia and I just knew that when I was old enough or finished school or old enough to be on my own, I wanted to live in the city. I just sort of fell in love with South Philly. The neighborhoods are so great. This is where I want to stay.” Once she finished her schooling, she remained in the area while continuing to work near West Chester in the youth ser-

vices section of a library and the poetry center at her alma mater. Teaching, however, seemed to be in her blood. “It’s funny because both of my parents are teachers. I grew up with it. They’ve been teachers for 30 years,” Marine said of mother, MaryLou, and father, Robert. “I just figured I grew up in a family of teachers so I was like, ‘No, I’ll do something different.’ I sort of fell in to it.” Marine wanted to remain in Philadelphia and so she sent out her résumé to a few choice schools and received the offer from St. Francis. She began with eighth graders and moved to sixth graders for the past two years. “I always knew I wanted to work with literature, that was my love and my passion and I just thought when I was working at the library — once I started working with literature and then also with children — I sort of realized I could combine them and do something with that,” Marine said. “And get them to love [literature] and stories and writing about

stories and expressing themselves creatively. I thought, ‘I need to try teaching and meld them together.’” Teaching was a good fit, and Marine has blossomed in the trade she wishes to continue for many years to come. Ironically, she recently brought her classroom to the National Liberty Museum at the suggestion of a colleague. “They gave us a tour of the whole museum and we stopped in different parts,” Marine, who made the trek in November, said. “The main focus of the museum is freedom, different ideas of freedom, and it challenges the kids to think about it outside the box and the different aspects of freedom.” Soon, Marine will again visit the National Liberty Museum in the role of honoree. On the eve of her distinction, the recognition serves only to drive her forward. “[The award] is really meant for, from what they told me, it’s teachers that led their students and inspired their students to be models of peace and working toward peace and conflict resolution,” Marine said. “I feel like it’s for [my students] and it makes me want to be better, the award pushes me to do better, be better for them everyday.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Johnny Sample

here was an amusing article in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago prior to the Jets playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The article credited the late Johnny Sample as the first real trash talker in pro football. It triggered very endearing memories for me because I worked with Johnny for a few years on the WYSP Eagles Pre-Game Show. As I write this column, I can see over my left shoulder a photo hanging on the wall of my backroom office where we are huddled in cold-weather gear, broadcasting from a tent outside Veterans Stadium. Sample is seated next to me and has this infectious smile on his face, one that seemed to embrace the whole world. Whenever I read anything about Johnny, including his own book, “Confessions of a Dirty Football Player,” I never recognized him as the guy I had come to know. The Johnny I knew was not a snarling, trash talker. He was not a guy you would associate with trying to cut your knees from under you on one of his patented tackles. That is not to say he had lost that fire in his belly, but he had a thoughtful, gentle side to him. He was a guy with whom you could talk frankly about subjects as diverse as race relations or the state of the fight game. Sample was never one of those old-timers who became embittered against today’s players. He loved Brian Dawkins like a son. He told me the players of today deserved to be well-compensated. He was at heart a union guy fighting for the rights of players. Despite the fact Johnny played on two Super Bowl winners — the Jets and Colts — his NFL pension was just $2,700 a month. I got to know him better during our long rides to Bally’s in Atlantic City, N.J. where we did the pregame show. He counseled me and helped a family member of mine get a job. One day I told him of my disappointment during a hiring dispute I experienced while working for the federal government. I had been on a panel with two other folks who were charged with interviewing 20 applicants for a promotion. We had chosen an African-American man, who had served in the military before entering government service. We were totally comfortable choosing this guy who had worked tirelessly and effectively for me. He richly deserved the promotion. A female applicant protested our choice, and in doing so, lied about our process and not only tainted us, but our choice. Our selection was upheld, but the

experience left me bitter because our guy would forever be viewed as an “affirmative action” pick. Johnny listened to my experience. He understood how frustrating the question of race and gender can be in life. I don’t remember his exact words, but he told me if you have done right in your heart of hearts, it is all we humans can do. Each Sunday when we would meet to do the show, I would ask Johnny how his week had gone. He would regale me with stories of him flying to Vegas for a championship fight and meeting Venus and Serena Williams and their dad before a big tennis tournament. One time he explained he had visited Mecca that week with a Muslim friend (Johnny was a Christian) and had ridden on a bus with devout Muslims on some dusty road just to experience what Mecca was all about. There was another side of Johnny; his deep friendship with Sonny Hill. Along with Sonny, he was deeply committed to the inner city where they both grew up. They delivered turkeys door-to-door to the needy and did a million things to show they never forgot their roots. Sonny would check in on Johnny if he had the flu and vice versa. They played pick-up basketball with former Temple basketball coach John Chaney where I am sure they traded barbs with one another. Sample told me about his memories of his father who owned a barbershop in West Philly. It was the repository of the accumulated wisdom gained only by being black and living in America. One time, our program director decided that after doing the pregame show in Atlantic City, we would hop a CBS traffic helicopter at Bader Field to do the post-game show from a sports bar on Columbus Boulevard. Johnny opted out. He was fearless on the football field, but taking a helicopter heading into the teeth of high winds was where he drew the line. Johnny ran a city tennis program for Philadelphia youth. He was nuts about tennis, played everyday and kept fanatically fit. I never saw him drink anything stronger than orange juice, even when we watched the Eagles game together. We kept in touch after WYSP decided to let us go right before the Eagles moved into their new stadium. Johnny always felt it was because he had drawn blood asking tough questions at the Monday Andy Reid media conference. He always maintained I was let go to avoid any questions of race entering into the firing. My abiding memory of Johnny is not of the fearless defensive back who intercepted a pass in a Super Bowl, but of a guy who did our shows in the tent with his handsome grandson sitting on his lap. He would have liked that Times article about his trash talking. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Another award-worthy contender

Uxbal (Javier Bardem) battles terminal cancer and deals with personal demons in “Biutiful,” a ﬁlm that is up for two Academy Awards.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

udos to the Academy for recognizing Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Biutiful,” which earned Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film (Mexico) and, in a surprise twist, Best Actor for Javier Bardem. This is a difficult picture, even for Iñárritu, who with “Amores Perros,” “21 Grams” and “Babel” has made a career out of chronicling human suffering with broken narratives. “Biutiful” is linear by comparison, but it’s arguably the filmmaker’s bleakest effort yet. It centers on Uxbal (Bardem), a full-time criminal and part-time medium whose everyday struggles (managing illegal sweatshop workers, dealing with his drug-addicted and bi-polar ex-wife) are compounded by a terminal cancer diagnosis. With only months to live, Uxbal scrambles to ensure his two children will be provided for — a final attempt at long-absent righteousness that’s thematically linked to Uxbal’s spectral encounters with his own father (who died young and whom he never knew). Rather than offering the typical redemptive schmaltz, the director maps a very hardwon road to inner peace, and again depicts a vast and multicultural world around the most personal of sorrows. Still working with saturated hues and a visceral urban grit, Iñárritu remains, at least aesthetically, the arthouse answer to Tony Scott, and with his gifted eye he captures compelling visuals that support his themes without pretense. His dirty-underbelly vision of Barcelona is the environmental reflection of the many maladies plaguing Uxbal, who, as played by Bardem, is deeply pitiable and hardly registers as a professional felon. He seems merely a repeat victim of circumstance,

and Bardem brings a lovely, low-key pain to the role that’s out of step with traditional Oscar fare. Dedicated to Iñárritu’s father, “Biutiful” is an ode to all that parents leave behind to their children, yet it also is, like the rest of the writer/director’s work, a poetic saga of profound devastation. It’s quite a lot to absorb, at times even too much, but it admirably carries on what Iñárritu’s fans have come to expect from his films: A sad current that pulls you under, but helps you to better appreciate life.

Biutiful R Three-and-a-half reels out of four Opens tomorrow at the Ritz Five

Recommended Rental For Colored Girls R Available Tuesday Speaking of Oscars, had Tyler Perry’s adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s landmark play been better received, it might have hogged the entire Supporting Actress category. Featuring powerhouse performances from Kimberly Elise, Phylicia Rashad and Anika Noni Rose (to name only three), “For Colored Girls” is a rare and wonderful feast of fine acting, whose urban clichés and melodramatic excess are all but forgiven in light of the cast’s efforts.

ome make pound cakes a weekly staple on the supermarket shopping list. It goes well with a morning cup of Joe and satisfies many appetites as a light dessert following dinner. It can be topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or fruit topping of choice. Joanna Cloney prefers to make her variation — a Cranberry Cake — from scratch. The resident of Front and Mifflin streets even tops it with her own icing. Whether you slice it in the morning or evening, it’s likely to be a berry good choice. SPR

Philly

Joanna’s Cranberry Cake INGREDIENTS:

2 sticks of butter 2 tablespoons of milk 4 large eggs 2 cups of sifted cake ﬂour 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder 1/8 teaspoon of salt 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla 3/4 cup of dried cranberries

ICING:

1 cup of sifted powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla 1 tablespoon of milk

DIRECTIONS:

Allow the butter, milk and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with greased wax paper. Combine the ﬂour, baking powder and set aside. Beat the butter and slowly add the sugar until combined. Add the milk and vanilla and beat for two minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add the ﬂour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low speed until just combined. Fold it into the cranberries and pour into prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and then remove.

The Dandelion, the newest addition to Stephen Starr’s culinary empire, offers exquisite culinary dishes in a classic British atmosphere. P h o t o b y I l a n a Ba g e l

what our mates across the pond call chips, also were fried in the beef fat. I sprinkled on malt vinegar. The chips arrived in a heated metal cup and the fish, which was moist and flaky, sat on a piece of paper on top of a heated board. I made room for pudding for dessert. Brian, my server, recommended the chocolate confection ($7), which he said was similar to a soufflé. It was baked in a small cast-iron-enameled flame-colored vessel similar to Le Creuset. I placed my spoon inside and it oozed not-at-all sweet viscous chocolate. A scoop of pistachio ice cream and a small pitcher of homemade chocolate sauce made me quite content. I have never heard of Teapigs tea. I selected a Darjeeling Earl Gray which was

placed in a pot to properly steep. I received a cup and saucer and tea strainer. Stephen Starr has done it again. He knows how to hire and train the right staff. I am in love with The Dandelion. Three extraordinary tips of the toque to The Dandelion. SPR

pureed and topped with croutons made with cheddar cheese and buttermilk. We shared the butter lettuce salad ($9) which was tossed with currently all-therage honeycrisp apples, tart pomegranate seeds, spiced walnuts dressed in a very British stilton/honey vinaigrette. It was one fine winter salad. I’ve eaten steak and kidney pie in London pubs, but how about trying one made with rabbit ($19)? Aikens’ talent was evident here. Juicy strips of rabbit were nestled in a midsize terrine filled with tasty things to eat such as cipollini onions, plump oyster mushrooms, smoked bacon and a bit of grain mustard for piquancy. It was topped with a buttery pastry and I ate every bit. The texture of the sauce was spot on. I never thought of making a Bolognese with duck ($16) but Aikens shined through again. It was served on strozzapreti, a new pasta that I never heard of it. It was slightly thick so the sauce clinged to it. A fried duck egg added richness which was deliciously staggering. At lunch, I tried Shepherd’s pie ($16). It is made with seasoned minced lamb and assorted brunoise of vegetables. Topped with whipped potatoes, it is a hearty dish for snowy weather. During another lunch, I sat near the fireplace and had an entire large wooden table to myself. I had to try the fish and chips ($21). About 6 ounces of cod was generously coated in a beer batter and fried in rendered beef fat. The french fries, or

henever I return home from London, I hunger for afternoon tea and good hearty stick-toyour- ribs pub fare. I have savored many delightful meals in a number of cities in the U.K. After three visits to The Dandelion, Stephen Starr’s newest culinary baby which made its entrance into the city on New Year’s Eve, I say it’s as close an experience you will find to settling down in a good British pub. Cousin Erv accompanied me to dinner on a brutally cold and windy night. He is Cousin Carl’s brother-in-law and his younger son Teddy is my godson. Erv was on the road when I invited him to make a detour. The kitchen is under the direction of chef Robert Aikens, who is one of Queen Elizabeth’s subjects. His menu is chock full of British classics on which he places his own culinary twist. Erv and I settled into a table for two in the bar area. White lace curtains grace the windows while the tables are set with white and red napkins that resemble dish towels. I sipped a Rob Roy and dove into a basket of bread. Chicken and duck liver parfait ($10) was in a large oval of smooth liver mousse with grape chutney, cornichons and a generous serving of toasted brioche croutons on which I smeared the pate. The British love root vegetables so I was not surprised to see a hearty bowl of winter root vegetable soup on the bill of fare ($8). The comforting soup was slightly

Stir-frying in the

new year

As the Chinese New Year celebration begins, join in the festive spirit by preparing Asian-inspired dishes. The late Elisabeth Rozin offered some ideas in ‘Ethnic Cuisine: The Flavor-Principle Cookbook.’ By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

hinese New Year begins today. This year it is the Year of the Rabbit. Yesterday was Groundhog Day, but since I write my columns in advance, I do not know whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. No, gentle readers, I am not going to give you recipes on how to stew Phil or roast Thumper, although I am quite fond of rabbit. Celebrate Chinese New Year with easy-to-prepare Asian cuisine. Celebrations will take place in Chinatown over the next few weekends. I always visit the hustle and bustle of this colorful neighborhood during the New Year. I delight in the dragon dance and the pounding of drums as residents make their way through the streets. I can spend hours in Asian stores and supermarkets. I always wear red, which is the color of good luck in Asian cultures. It is the reason First Lady Michelle Obama wore a red gown to the recent state dinner in honor of China’s President Hu Jintao. The streets of Chinatown will be decked out in red ribbons and the welcoming feeling from merchants and restaurant owners is quite contagious. Look inside the refrigerator for soy, Sriracha, hoisin, oyster, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil or a small hand of fresh ginger. Several generations ago, these ingredients

were deemed exotic. Today, they are used to prepare tasty Asian-style dishes. Celebrate the Year of the Rabbit with these dishes from “Ethnic Cuisine: The Flavor-Principle Cookbook” by the late Elisabeth Rozin, a food historian and fine home cook who I am happy to have called my friend.

■ Chinese Roast Pork ■ Ingredients: 3 tablespoons of soy sauce 3 tablespoons of dry sherry 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons of honey 2 cloves of garlic, ﬁnely minced 1 teaspoon of ginger, ﬁnely minced 1-1/2 pounds of boneless pork loin

Directions: Combine the marinade ingredients and mix well. Place the pork in a baking dish. Pour on the marinade. Marinate the pork for two hours, turning frequently. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roast the pork for 50 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with duck sauce if desired. Serves three to four as a main course, six to eight as an appetizer. Note from Phyllis: Although dry sherry has a distinct flavor, you can substitute dry white wine. It will work fine in this recipe.

■ Szechuan Shrimp ■

■ Chinese Salad ■

Ingredients:

Directions: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, 5 tablespoons of the water, vinegar, sugar, bean paste and chili sauce. Mix thoroughly until the paste is smooth. In a large frying pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over high. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until it turns pink, for about two minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and bring quickly to a simmer, stirring constantly. Combine the cornstarch and the remaining water. Gradually pour into the pan until the sauce thickens. Serve immediately with plain rice. Serves three.

Directions: Thoroughly mix the vegetables with the salt and let stand for one hour. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Blend well with a fork. Place the vegetables in a large strainer or colander and wash thoroughly with running cold water. Drain thoroughly. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well. Chill before serving. Serves six.

2 tablespoons of soy sauce 7 tablespoons of water 3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar 1/4 cup of sugar 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons hot bean paste 3 tablespoons of bottled chili sauce 3 tablespoons of sesame oil 1/4 cup of ginger, ﬁnely minced 6 cloves of garlic, ﬁnely minced 2 tablespoons of scallions, chopped 1 pound of raw shrimp, peeled 1 tablespoon of cornstarch

Note from Phyllis: If you do not own a wok, merchants in Chinatown sell a variety of them at moderate prices. If you like to stir-fry, a wok is an inexpensive investment.

2 cups of cabbage, shredded 1 medium cucumber, peeled and shredded 2 carrots, shredded 1 medium green pepper, seeded and shredded 1 medium sweet red pepper, seeded and shredded 1 tablespoon of salt 1 teaspoon of ginger, ﬁnely minced 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of soy sauce 2 teaspoons of distilled white vinegar 1 tablespoon of dry sherry 2 teaspoons of sesame oil

Note from Phyllis: You can substitute a dry white wine for dry sherry in this recipe. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

At the height of his Powers A Hawthorne school’s basketball star surpassed the 1,000-point plateau last week. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

A starter since his freshman year, CAPA senior Matt Powers ranks third in City-scoring with two contests to go. This afternoon he hopes to lead his team to this season’s ﬁrst victory.

Staff Photo by greg bezanis

THE SCHOOL’S ALL-TIME leading scorer, Powers has increased his average each

season. He managed 7.6 points per game as a frosh, more than doubling that total with 17.5 two years ago and nearly hitting 20 with last year’s 19.9 tally. Through yesterday’s games, his 23-point average puts him third in the city. Featuring four seniors, CAPA has struggled to remain competitive, with its closest margin of defeat being nine points in a 57-48 loss Jan. 6 to Science Leadership Academy. Powers set the standard as the team’s “go-to guy” Jan. 24. Needing 13 points to reach 1,000, he deposited 40 in a 8152 road loss to Nueva Esperanza Academy Charter High School, one off his ’09 school-record effort against Randolph Technical High School. In his next two games, he added 36 points, bringing his mark to 1,063. “The last two years, I have developed more of an inside game,” Powers said of the rate at which he has been able to fill up the score sheet. “He’s also bigger and stronger this year,” Dunphy said of the taciturn youngster, who is one of six city ballers to have surpassed the four-digit mark this year. The team’s lack of triumphs has not daunted Powers, who also played baseball

Winless at 0-12, he and his floormates will court a confidence boost from today’s 3:15 p.m. matchup with Charles Carroll High School at Palumbo Recreation Center, 10th and Fitzwater streets. His dual deftness with his hands has drawn the attention of Chestnut Hill College and Arcadia, Philadelphia, Temple and West Chester universities. If he wishes to play basketball, Powers will choose between Glenside-based Arcadia and East Falls’ Philly U and from among the others if he again places arts above jumpers. “Matt is an anomaly,” coach John Dunphy said of his star’s distancing academics so far above athletics. Dunphy, who has helmed the team since its inception, serves as dean of students and teaches English and creative writing. Along with giving Powers guidance on the court, he hones the sniper’s appreciation of literature in his Honors English 4 class. “Interacting with Matt has been fantastic. Teaching him is a privilege, as is being able to watch as he makes an art out of playing basketball,” Dunphy said.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I February 3, 2011

att Powers has plenty of unsought experience with singledigit numbers and admirable familiarity with a four-digit figure. If he could have his druthers, the senior at The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., would likely alter his fate. Despite reaching 1,000 points for his career Jan. 24, the four-year starter has just four wins against 60 losses as he and his Pegasus teammates head into today’s final home game. Being short on victories, however, has not kept the Fairmount resident from amassing belief in his skills and from exorcising the doubt that plagued his early adolescence. “I didn’t really have much confidence that I could make the team and play at the varsity level,” the 17-year-old said of shunning Center City’s Roman Catholic High School, a basketball powerhouse that would have made a perfect geographic choice. The holder of 28 Catholic League Basketball championships, Roman could not lure Powers, whose Hawthorne-based selection lets him fully explore a passion that rivals hoops for his attention — visual arts. “At CAPA, I figured I could do my art thing and play basketball,” the 6-foot-2 guard said of choosing the magnet school to strengthen his chances of a career in graphic design and to nurture the b-ball talent he began displaying in Catholic Youth Organization action with Fairmount’s St. Francis Xavier School. Modest about his artistic faculties and athletic gifts, Powers has cause to boast of both. His roster includes three art classes, two graphic design courses and a pottery and sculpting section. Through them, he is increasing skills he would like to use to design any number of items, including movie posters and T-shirts. On the court, he has been the primary weapon for CAPA, which began Public League play in 2004. The school’s history has included just eight victories, with Powers celebrating once in his freshman year and three times last season, during which he earned Third Team All-Public honors.

as a boy. “I am just interested in playing my game,” he said of looking for shots and involving his teammates in Dunphy’s motion offense. Because the team’s talent is burgeoning, the other players often defer to Powers, Dunphy said, feeling as if the “best chance to score comes when the ball is in Matt’s hands.” “One of the perks of being on a team whose skills are still maturing is that you get the ball often,” Dunphy said of Powers’ prolific progress. He has often found being the center of attention somewhat stifling, as he knows his teammates can and want to score. “It’s difficult to describe,” he said of the team’s limited arsenal. Not difficult to relate is that plenty of people consider Powers a real talent. The prestigious Markward Memorial Basketball Club, its name an homage to former Roman coach William Markward, honored him and 10 other players at a Jan. 19 Roxborough luncheon. The recognition will be the precursor to CAPA’s retiring his No. 22 jersey at either a special assembly or the senior awards banquet. “Matt’s a realist,” Dunphy said. “He knows he could have gone to another school and piled up the wins. Watching him, it is evident he clearly just loves playing, loves being a competitor.” “When I chose CAPA, I figured I would become one of the program’s stars and make a name for myself,” Powers added on lending his talents to a school with a far greater academic pedigree than an athletic lineage. Aware that he has made a name for himself despite his team’s struggles, Powers has maintained his work ethic, never losing his fervor for firing attempts to give his school that elusive first win. Including today’s game, it has only two chances left. “One thing I can say is that we really know how to appreciate a win,” Dunphy said. Powers responded with a shrug. “My CAPA career has made me realize how much I love playing,” he said. “I am happy to have scored my 1,000, but I really want to get a win.” SPR
