hether you consider Valentine’s Day a so-called Hallmark holiday, a holiday created by capitalism to spur the economy in the doldrums of winter, or a cherished day to remind loved ones of your affections – it’s a very popular phenomenon. In the United States alone, there are nearly 190 million cards purchased and exchanged in addition to the loads of valentine-exchanges that happen in grade schools. According to the National Retail Fed-

eration, average Valentine’s Day spending went from $101 in 2010 to $131 in 2013. Romantically-devoted couples often double down on their affections for each other while single folks lament the trials and tribulations of dating. But what if you had no one at all? What if you were homeless and the years of benign, sweetspirited love-spreading on Feb. 14, something engrained in us as early as pre-school, came crashing back on your conscience? Being alone on whatever February night Valentine’s falls on is bad enough, but imagine if you were sleeping with all of your belong-

ings and on the street. Bethesda Project decided to do something about it this year with a combined fund-raising effort and spirit-lifting gesture - $10 and you could make one of the 400 individuals currently in its care a little less gloomy. At 13 sites, Bethesda provides homeless relief and support services to nearly 2,500 Philadelphians annually. And with just a month’s duration, Bethesda received more than $1,500 in donations that materialized into 600 valentines, enough for more than one valentine per resident or shelter-seeker. “Hope your day is filled with� was

the prompt for one of three staffdesigned valentines and donors wrote “hope and positivity!; joy and wonder; beauty and happiness; blessings; and optimism.� “Sending you a bear hug to make you feel,� held by a smiling teddy bear, was completed with “warm and cozy inside; cared for and loved; alive and happy; hopeful and blessed.� With a floral theme, another read “Like a flower you are�: “charming; to be cherished; beautiful; full of life; and a gift of nature and beauty.� “Some [recipients] communicated reactions with chuckles, but I’ll take them as smiles,� Kathy ASS HEARTS ^OUS ,,

My uncle’s name was Anthony. He was named after his father. But as long as I remember, Uncle Anthony was called “Boot� by everybody else. Sometimes I think I was the only one who called him by his given name.

Restaurant: Fork When I was growing up, Sunday breakfast meant bagels and lox. Belly lox is salty while Nova Scotia salmon was not. Philadelphia Brand cream cheese or Temptee whipped cream cheese was always in the fridge. Sometimes we enjoyed kippered salmon or smoked chubbies that were probably trout.

To our Readers: Is it November yet? More than ever, I have started to become interested in national politics, and I must confess that making that decision has bred a very tiring journey of fathoming who is telling the fewest lies and whose semi-truths are the most tolerable. A glance at the calendar reveals we are eight-and-a-half months away from the end of it all and while that will certainly yield plenty of occasions to sort out whose stances have lasting merit, I think the span will also find me frequently reaching for aspirin. Oh, election process, you know how to test us. Here’s hoping for altruistic results. Joseph Myers South Philadelphia Review editor

/ 0S`\ W\U aS\aObW]\ To the Editor: Dear Mr. Cardella: I was dismayed to read your Feb. 11 column entitled “The Establishment,� which misrepresents the political platform of Sen. Bernie Sanders. It seems you are one of the baby boomers who equate socialism with communism. Democratic socialism is a system of governance that works incredibly well in many European countries whose citizens have a much higher quality of life than we do here in the States. A quick Google search of “Bernie Sanders democratic socialism� will bring up a treasure trove of re-

sources for anybody wishing to know more about Bernie’s proposals and beliefs. The only course of action you suggest is to regulate Wall Street: “The villains on Wall Street are the ones who broke the laws. Tighten regulations and there will be fewer law breakers.� Sanders is the only presidential candidate who wants to re-establish the Glass-Steagall Act, which limited commercial bank securities, activities, and affiliations within commercial banks and securities firms. Some people believe it would have prevented the 2008 financial crisis. Bill Clinton repealed it in 1999. What saddens me about your column is the hopelessness and sense of futility you convey about our political system. It is this negative attitude that prevents so many people from taking part in the political process. In the Philadelphia election held last November, only 25.5 percent voted, even though one voter was chosen at random to win $10,000. More people probably bought Powerball tickets, where their odds of winning were much lower. Voting is free but lottery tickets aren’t! I think the South Philly Review should present a comprehensive, non-partisan guide to the presidential candidates before the primary on April 26. You should also encourage and assist your readers in registering to vote. The last day to register by mail is March 28. You can also register online very easily. Rachel J. Cox South Philadelphia

“Definitely Kylie Jenner because she’s over the top. She’s doing a bit too much for being only 18 years old and is sending the wrong message out to young ladies.�

Khi Allen, 1600 block of Mifflin Street

“I’m sick of Hillary Clinton because she’s not being humble. If she were a class act, she’d choose her words more carefully and turn the volume down a bit. Donald Trump should do that, too.� Michael Avello, 900 block of Sigel Street

Iekj^ F^_bbo H[l_[m maybe he should resign and let somebody healthy do it. Mayor Jim Kenney has called his work ethic “insulting,� and U.S. Rep. Robert Brady has tabbed him “an absolute disgrace,� but these are the same people who endorsed him to run. They knew of his track record. Al Schmidt is another story. When he ran, his platform was reform; well, that didn’t happen. He said he was going to back Lisa Deeley then changed his mind. Right now, if Clark doesn’t show up, Schmidt runs the office. But if he would have done what he said, he wouldn’t have the little power he has. The mayor and Brady say there’s not much they can do. They have said what he’s doing is insulting and he’s a disgrace. But they backed him for reelection. I think that’s BS. He works for and gets paid by the city, but he’s untouchable. He has to answer to somebody. Then he signed up for the Deferred Retirement Option Plan. How nice to be able to grab close to $500,000 for not showing up. I want that job. This is worse than the 1960s and ’70s when the Democrats had dead people voting and ghost employees. I’m glad I’m a Republican. We might not hold many offices, but we still have dignity.

t was a cruel Valentine’s Day for the inhabitant of the 1100 block of South Mole Street, who told authorities two unknown males knocked on her door to state they needed to check her water pipes, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They left when she informed them her pipes were fine but returned shortly after, forcing their way into the home upon her slightly opening the door. A struggle ensued, and the occupant ended up pistol-whipped, with one of the aggressors ransacking her bedroom. Due to the extent of her injuries, the victim was unable to tell detectives if the criminals had taken anything. She described the men as black, with the first being 5-foot-11 to 6 foot; having dark skin and a Sunni-style beard; thin; wearing tan boots; and toting a small black handgun; and the second as having a stocky build; and wearing a blue puffy vest, dark jeans, and tan boots; and also possessing a small black handgun.

2cQYW\U Ob 2c\YW\¸ An irate customer injured the manager of a South-of-South establishment. At 6:50 a.m. Friday, officers ventured to Dunkin’ Donuts, 1551 Washington Ave., and met with the store manager. She reported a dissatisfied patron started knocking things down on the counter, picked up a ceramic cup, and heaved it at her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The throw caused the manager to suffer a wrist laceration, with the offender fleeing the area in a dark vehicle, possibly a Ford Taurus. The victim, who received five stitches for her injury, described the aggressor as a black female, 5-foot-4, and in her early 20s; having a thin build and a light brown complexion; and wearing a black hat and tan jacket.

BW[S b] QO^bc`S Authorities are after two individuals who robbed a woman in South of South Saturday. At 3 p.m., law enforcement officials took to the 1900 block of South Street, meeting with the complainant, who relayed that two unknown males approached her on bikes, with one of them asking for the time, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The figure pointed a sharp object, which the witness believes to have been a knife, into her back area and made off with $60 and an LG Curve 3 cell phone. She tabbed her attackers as black, with the first being in his late teens to early 20s; having a medium complexion; wearing tan cargo pants, a burgundy jacket, and a black scarf covering his

face; and riding a black mountain bike; and the second as in his late teens to early 20s; wearing black pants, a black jacket with a hood, and a black mask to cover his face; and riding a darkcolored bike. Call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

The victim met with police at 3:16 a.m. on the 1900 block of South Front Street and relayed that an unknown individual had approached him to ask for a dollar, with an accomplice joining the proceedings from the rear, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The latter struck him and then joined the first figure in fleeing in an unknown direction. The complainant, who received treatment for a small cut to his head, characterized the offenders as white, with the first having a long, dirty beard and long hair and the second having long, dark hair and a short beard.

/ZZSUSR OaaOcZbS` O``SabSR The Philadelphia Police Department on Tuesday announced the detainment of a figure believed to be behind a Queen Village assault and robbery. At 11:47 p.m. Feb. 10, the complainant, an employee of 215-GET-A-CAB, picked up an individual at Fourth and South streets. The passenger supposedly asked the motorist to take him to Fourth and Christian streets, with the individual allegedly producing a knife at Fourth and Catharine streets. The driver said the man reached through the partition and placed the object to his neck and demanded money. A struggle ensued, and the complainant contends the passenger cut his right hand. After he acquired approximately $65, the male reportedly exited the taxi and fled on foot, heading northbound on Fourth Street to Fitzwater Street then southbound on Fourth Street toward Catharine Street. The victim drove himself to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, receiving four stitches for his wound. The police department obtained surveillance stills and posted them to its Facebook page. Tipsters flooded them with replies and helped to identify a suspect. Officials placed the supposed criminal’s image in a photo array, and the driver ended up picking the picture that matched the description’s details. Pursuant to an affiant’s arrest warrant, authorities arrested a 51-year-old man whose name was not available as of press time because the court system had yet to arraign him. SPR

with that designation. Though not a parishioner, I enjoy occasional stops inside the 923 Christian St. space and give a reverent look skyward to thank its originators for their considerate construction. 6) Isgro Pastries: Continue along the block, and one will find Isgro Pastries, 1009 Christian St., a 112-year-old reminder of the power of family. I am not a major sweets eater, but whenever I cave, taste and tradition lead me here. 5) Tom Cardella: I knew of Tom Cardella long before I moved to South Philly in 2004 and became his neighbor two years later. Politically distant, we never let a controversial matter or election cycle override our friendship and consideration for our neighborhood. With 52 years of experience penning columns for this publication, he will forever win my respect. 4) Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church: Want to talk about durability? You must then consider this Queen Village giant, 916 S. Swanson St., which outdates the founding of our nation by 99 years! A bit of a church connoisseur, I enjoy knowing that this house of worship continues to offer answers to life’s most vexing problems. 3) Ralph’s Italian Restaurant: Much like those commercials that say “Nobody was hurt in the filming of this segment,� I must say no free food has gone to me in writing these words! Ralph’s, 760 S. Ninth St., makes this list for being the oldest restaurant in the country whose owners are members of the family behind its creation. I have dined here only once, a travesty indeed, but even if I had never set foot in there, I cannot argue with 116 years of rave reviews and family ties. 2) The Mummers Parade: Yes, it has undergone changes to its route and has incurred the wrath of many for its content, but the Mummers Parade, also 116 years old, will forever (I hope) be an inviting way to welcome a new year. The gang’s all here, and everyone wishes to join in the jubilee for centuries to come. 1) Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park: What, this guy made a list that does not include the Italian Market? Guilty! Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, checks in at a year older than the esteemed market and has yielded more personal memories for me than the younger stretch. With spring rapidly approaching, I hope to venture there for stops at the American Swedish Historical Museum and my beloved tennis courts. Thank you, South Philly. Live, and help us to live.

any matters over the last week have led me to ponder durability in certain areas of life, mainly faith, hope, and love. While considering these abstract nouns will never grow tiring, I also know the value of reflecting on visual blessings that have stood the test of time. Here then is a compilation of South Philly-centric places and one resident who have made our environs that much better for their longevity. Many of these appeared in the South Philly Review’s May 17, 2012 edition as part of our 65th anniversary celebration, so take to our website if you wish to see what we wrote about them and other treasured spots. 10) The Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association: Certainly not as old as many of the other entries that I will include, this Marconi-situated haven dates back to 1953 and has bred many rivalries and friendships, with both reminding us of the beauty of baseball and football. Living only 1.5 blocks from the 2840 S. 18th St.-based site, I love witnessing the feats of its registrants and look forward to adding my son to the list one day. 9) Lucio J. Mancuso & Son Cheese Shop: If you read last week’s Top 10 list on what I will not be sacrificing for Lent, you know of my love of cheese. Over the two years that I lived a block away, this revered space, 1902 E. Passyunk Ave., which opened in 1940, was my willing accomplice in keeping me from having a cow. 8) Famous 4th Street Delicatessen: This Catholic enjoys a fine Jewish deli, and none is better than this Queen Village beauty, 700 S. Fourth St. Set to celebrate its 96th birthday this year, it has become a haven for politicians on Primary and Election days as they reflect on their campaigns’ success. If it were a candidate for anything, I would vote for it hands up, well, because my mitts would have a sandwich in them, after all. 7) St. Paul Church: I count Bella Vista as my favorite part of South Philly, and this 173-year-old worship site has much to do

WOODSON FOUNDED BLACK History Month as Negro History Week in 1926, and it was connected to the week that Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were born – Feb. 12 and 14, accordingly. In Philadelphia, a 23-years-young writer and Temple graduate, Sofiya Ballin, is giving a fresh coat of paint to the Black History Month tradition. She has initiated and curated a series called “Black History: What I Wish I Knew,� an identity series that asked 33 prominent black Philadelphians what they wish they knew about black history as a youth. It’s been a hit. “A lot of black people feel like they get a dual education – you learn one history [in school] and then you go home and get another history,� Ballin said. “Not everyone has that. When you don’t have that at home or in your community, is the responsibility on schools to teach your history?� She remembers a friend from school who said she’d had a teacher tell her that “slavery wasn’t that bad� and it made her internalize her black identity – “like it was our rightful place to be under the thumb of a white person or inferior.� Ballin has since researched African history and knows they had kingdoms, empires, success, breakthroughs in math and science, and said “I wish I would have known these things, then I wouldn’t have hated my skin color or my hair.� One recent profile subject, Phil Freelon, is an award-winning architect. He told her “I’m following in Juilan Abele’s footsteps,� the legendary black architect who designed the Art Museum. His namesake park sits at 22nd and Catharine streets in the Graduate Hospital area. Ballin recommends Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between The World And Me� and Walter Rodney’s ’72 book, “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa.� She recommends films like the documentary “Let The Fire Burn�

about the ’85 bombing of the MOVE compound in West Philly and the recent Netflix documentary, “What Happened, Miss Simone?� “She lost a lot for the sake of voicing her opinion,� Ballin says of singer Nina Simone. Ida B. Wells, though, is her true hero. “She was a black woman writing about voting rights and an activist, and she was fearless,� Ballin said. “I’m trying to be her.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

hen Veronica Britto was a student at Cheltenham High School in the early 1990s studying American History, she lived in La Mott, PA – a major hub of Underground Railroad activity (hence the town’s namesake – Lucretia Mott). La Mott was also a training site for black soldiers in the American Civil War. Britto was actually quite versed in black history and when she and some students in her history class asked their teacher if he had any special projects or speakers lined up for Black History Month, the answer caught her off guard. “‘I don’t believe in Black History Month,’� she remembers, her teacher’s response. “To hear that from a teacher was heart-wrenching. Kids from the class who weren’t black were surprised, too. I was glad back then to have the library to go to and do my own research and read biographies about Carter G. Woodson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Or what happened in Selma and those four little girls or Juneteenth [Independence Day/ Freedom Day].� Britto’s a Mt. Airy resident who oversees a cluster of central library branches that include libraries in Port Richmond, Fishtown, Rittenhouse Square, Old City, and the Parkway Central branch. She was able to articulate Black History Month’s importance and suggest that libraries are excellent ways to connect communities with historical programming and resources at every South Philadelphian’s fingertips with a library card. “Some of what I find really exciting is happening down in South Philadelphia on Snyder Avenue,� she said, referring to the Whitman branch weekend matinee series. The site will screen “Selma� at 2 p.m.

Feb. 21 and “The Watsons Go To Birmingham� 2 p.m. Feb. 27. The latter is “a story about Kenny and his family and it so happens that [when they visit] Birmingham that a lot of things are going on in 1963.� It’s a book she’s read with her nieces as a way of introducing black history. And there’s a lot more going on throughout the city: “Mysterious Travels with William ‘Wali’ Bickley� brings a globallyknown jazz musician to Parkway Central 7 p.m. Feb. 22, a collaborative effort with the Philadelphia Jazz Project; “A Taste of African Heritage� is a cooking class that focuses on some of Africa’s healthiest foods (kale, sweet potato, okra) at the Parkway Central branch 6 p.m. Feb. 23; and “Historical Threads� explores quilting and its place in the Underground Railroad at the Bushrod Branch, 6304 Castor Ave. 4 p.m. Feb. 25. That’s not even the tip of the iceberg – there are digital resources that would frankly shock some Philadelphians. Learn Swahili. Find music from the African American Song Collection. Participate in the One Book, One Philadelphia project by reading Charles Frazier’s 1997 historical novel, “Cold Mountain,� or the companion piece “12 Years A Slave,� the autobiography of free-then-captured-slave Solomon Northup. Britto was surprised when her mother told her that, growing up in Newark, N.J., she had to sit upstairs in the second floor of the theater because it was segregated. “There’s a disconnect in our culture today – we don’t realize it was our mothers, fathers, and grandparents that went through it and so that everyone can hear it, we have to keep telling their stories. It’s important that we celebrate Black History Month. Why wouldn’t you want to learn these things?� she asks. “It’s really exciting and I think it’s wonderful to celebrate all cultures.�

Meck, Bethesda’s chief development officer, said. She works out of the nonprofit’s headquarters at 1630 South St., but her program coordinator at the Bainbridge location that houses 30 men, Michel’le J. Bryant, says many exclaimed “these are for us?! Slowly their smirks turned into big smiles.� Meck, of the 400 block of South Street, is committed to a philosophy that connects all 13 sites, which range from immediate and emergency housing (as in the two shelters they open at church locations during the brutal winter weather months) to sustained, long-term housing that has no expiration date (such as at the Bainbridge location, 700 S. 15th St., where Bryant says “they can choose to stay here, there’s no time limit for them�) – it’s that staff and cared-for individuals are a family. One resident chose to receive hospice care in his last days on Earth at the housing facility – Meck said “this is the only home he’s ever known.� HOMELESSNESS IS NOT always a result of what most unfairly assume is addiction, alcoholism, or laziness. Bryant has a phrase she uses to describe what can render Philadelphians homeless: “Some have just had a health condition that took them out of the race,� she said. “I have a gentleman here who, when you hear his story, it breaks your heart. He was dealing with cancer, and it caused him to be homeless.� Without health care or insurance, a lifethreatening illness could threaten one in ways that he or she didn’t imagine – stripping that person of any shelter or financial resources. “Addiction can often happen after something else, like untreated mental health,�

an option anymore,� Bryant said. She stays on her residents to keep appointments for care and rewards them if they stick to them. One resident’s reward will be a trip to Center City’s Liberty Place for a panoramic view of Philadelphia – “that’s his goal. He asks me ‘Can you Google Liberty Place?’� “That’s what any family does for each other – keep them motivated and going forward,� Meck chimed in. As for the Valentine’s Day fundraiser, she said small projects like those are crucial. “Unrestricted dollars allow us to carry out our mission to the best of our ability,� Meck said. Bethesda residents get placed through the Philadelphia Housing Authority or Shelter Care Plus. Meck noted that they’re looking for leaders to join their Young Professionals Advisory Board. The men who shuffle through the space aren’t scary or threatening – they use Bethesda as a home where they can escape the winter cold, receive mail, get a cup of coffee, listen to some music from a boombox and maybe make some connections that BVW`bg [S\ eV] VOdS Sf^S`WS\QSR V][SZSaa\Saa QOZZ bVS #bV O\R 0OW\P`WRUS ab`SSba will keep them off the streets in the future.

Above Meck’s South Street offices are Meck said. Plus, “if they’re living on the Force Awakens� (“They pay for their own more Bethesda-provided permanent housstreets for decades, they don’t trust the sys- ticket,� she says), they have a volunteerdriven potluck dinner on Mondays and ing options and one of them is the famous tem.� The Queen Village resident explained Thursdays, and once a week there’s a pop- Mel, the self-proclaimed “Mayor of South Street.� Even after they’ve seemingly overthey use a multi-pronged effort to im- corn and movie night in the TV room. Another factor that can “take you out of come homelessness, she said, they’re still proving the lives of individuals fighting homelessness, the first of which is getting the race� is simply age, and living on the family. “They’re still part of the Bethesda famithem housed and keeping them so. But streets tends to tack on extra years. Meck ly, but they don’t need as much of that case then there’s “case management and a care says a 40-year-old can have the body of a management support,� she noted. “But plan for each individual, including getting 70-year-old and that sometimes “it takes proper identification and access to benefits three years to convince John Smith to get they talk to us, and we’re going to continue or rekindling a relationship with a family off the streets but then he’s housed for to be there for them.� SPR three years and has the opportunity to build member.� Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevBryant reported that she recently round- community.� ert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A Newbold resident’s eponymous ballet entity will address our often perplexing partnership with time. ŽÊ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

3

xperience begets wisdom if one is willing to locate lessons mixed among setbacks and sorrows. While everyone wishes to obtain durable delights, all things must pass, and the reverence that we long to give exclusively to joy must also become an endowment for woe. Our finite natures have us perpetually pondering actions and thoughts, with Nora Gibson hoping those musings

yield determination to contribute any way possible to the eternal mystery that is life. Tomorrow through Sunday, she will address drives to maximize and value time through “Ephemeral,� her eponymous ballet entity’s second fullscale production. “Dealing with departures is often very difficult, and doing so reiterates that time is such a limited commodity,� Gibson said. “Parting is a dispassionate process of nature, but that doesn’t mean it’s without any beauty.� The Newbold resident will choreograph seven dancers’ displays of what fleeting flesh and momentary minds can

channel with regards to comprehending our exchanges with time. Also considering life cycles and seasons, the hourlong offering will finds its creator continuing her quest to make work that is “a story about an idea.� “I’m very much an advocate for understanding the infinite arc of possibility and achievement,� Gibson said. “I know that knowledge can come through a number of pursuits, and I’m also aware that as we acquire insights, we’re simultaneously losing time to implement them. I feel I’ve grown up considerably over the years, and I want to make use of that maturity to explore the benefits of never slow-

B?<;IJOB;I ing our curiosity down.� The voracious learner and her hires will present their observations at Christ Church Neighborhood House Theater, with the brainchild running concurrently with the 2016 Philadelphia Screendance Festival, Nora Gibson Contemporary Ballet’s newest niche film celebration. The former finds Gibson fulfilling a desire to collaborate with individuals possessing developed methods and strong points of view, with both serving as musts for a project so deeply enamored with being receptive to inconstancy’s constancy. “We all eventually need to tackle many tough questions about our lives and aspirations,� the thoughtful practitioner said of mortality’s motivational identity. “I’m very interested in pushing myself and seeing what I can do for this art form, especially because it has bred so many watershed moments for me.� A press release for “Ephemeral� notes of time that “we are both in its fabric and observers of it.� With each day that she looks to evolve and educate, the latter action apparent through locations such as Temple University and the University of the Arts, she believes that the more one wishes to find something to say, the more that person will realize the universe’s willingness to

listen. “Yet we obviously can’t wait forever to make a move,� Gibson said. “Even with the best intentions, we’re still so condensed in what we can do. As I’ve said before and fully believe, there’s beauty in those alterations, though. That’s what we’re after with ‘Ephemeral.’� NEARLY SEVEN YEARS in Newbold have helped the figure to dub Philadelphia an amazing expanse for exploring her creative pursuits and fraternizing with passionate thinkers and doers. The Maryland native started ballet training at age 9, with the fluidity of her frame eventually positioning her to commence a career that found her dancing professionally just as adolescence began. “It was a compelling force immediately,� Gibson said of her discipline. “I became aware pretty early on that I wanted to dance all day. The whole idea of training and bettering myself proved too powerful to think about refusing.� Incredible tutelage at the Baltimore School for the Arts, with Gibson singling out instructor Sylvester Campbell, often tabbed “the black Nureyev,� intensified her immersion and contributed to her ac-

ceptance to the Tisch School of the Arts. That New York City stint, while certainly encouraging Gibson to think objectively about her skill set, had a dampening effect on her spirit and sense of connection to her roots, but the emotionally well-heeled artist would not let the Big Apple devour her diligence. “There’s something humbling about the call to return to something we put aside,â€? she said of enlisting Philadelphia to end the hiatus she took from her vocation. “I think Philadelphia has helped me to reclaim my original path and is sating my desires to dance, teach, rehearse, and create. It shifts and changes and pushes us to do the same. It’s where I feel I can truly live the life of an artist.â€? Inspecting her rĂŠsumĂŠ makes evident the rewards of resiliency, with residencies and accolades easily capable of producing nods among perusers, particularly for her threeyear tenure performing pieces by lauded postmodern dancer/choreographer Lucinda Childs. Thrilled to handle the composition of others, Gibson, who divulged that she made up her own pieces as early as age 11, also wants to step down from the shoulders of giants to craft original content, with last February’s “2^57,885,161 – 1â€? touching on

her attraction to understanding how science, mathematics, and the unknown affect our lives. “Ephemeral� registers as a noteworthy successor to the 30-minute endeavor’s aims and prompts Gibson to contend it can help her to be more philosophical because it reveals her infatuation with acquiring and giving knowledge. “In my youth and early adulthood, I’d say I had blinders on when considering the world and my comprehension of it,� Gibson, whose increased confidence and conviction have also fostered a happy domestic situation for her husband and daughter, said. “I want to think I’m headed toward even more provocative realizations because it’s comforting to know that even in an unsteady world, we can be true to ourselves by investigating our surroundings and finding some means to make them better.� SPR

they still liked him. They took away his licensed weapon, however. Many folks said Uncle Boot had one great love. He wanted to marry her. My grandmother was a strong-willed woman. No woman ever seemed good enough for her boys. As the family story goes, grandmom didn’t like Uncle Boot’s lady friend (a delicate term all but fallen out of use these days). Boot was very close to his mother. He had continued to live with her after grandpa died. Boot saw himself as her protector. If grandmom didn’t like his lady friend, there would be no marriage. She rejected the marriage, and he accepted his fate. A light went out in Uncle Boot’s life that day. To just about everyone, he looked the same. He still smiled as warmly as ever with that stogie in his mouth. But wherever that spark resides that provides the fuel for what drives us through life, there were only embers left in Uncle Boot. As the song says, maybe Boot smoked a little too much and he drank a little too much, and that’s the way his life faded into old age. He transformed the little barber shop on the premises into a candy store, the kind that sold licorice sticks and gum drops. The years went by. Grandma died, leaving Uncle Boot alone in the house that once boasted the voices of five brothers fighting amongst themselves and their sister. The silence must have been deafening. And then Uncle Boot got sick. I think there must be a kind of built-in warning system in older people. The system tells them that this illness will not be survived. No amount of visits to the doctor and multi-colored pills are going to bring them back from the edge this time. And maybe what separates people is how they react to the news. In Uncle Boot’s case, I imagine he just lit up another stogie and let the news that he was at the end just percolate down deep. Probably pasted that broad smile on his still-handsome face. Heard his sister Mary tell him he shouldn’t be smoking cigars or drinking whiskey and just smiled at her, maybe even winked. But each time she would visit him, she would find a bottle of whiskey neatly hidden way and the horrific (to her) odor of a recently smoked stogie cigar. There was no defiance in Uncle Boot, so I imagine his passing like a whisper that can be barely heard in a crowded room. His leaving us was like one of his freshly lit stogies and a sip of good sipping whiskey. And as for his smile, it was a beautiful thing to see. In a way, he was much like that handsome guy dressed like The Cisco Kid dancing in a Mummer’s Day Parade long ago. SPR

y uncle’s name was Anthony. He was named after his father. But as long as I remember, Uncle Anthony was called “Boot� by everybody else. Sometimes I think I was the only one who called him by his given name. In a family that included five good-looking brothers, Boot was the best looking one of all. He always had a broad smile on his face. Most times I saw him, he was contentedly puffing on a stogie. There was always a sense of mystery about Boot. Despite his smiling face, there seemed some underlying sadness at his core. And Boot was intent on not revealing the reason for that sadness. At least that’s how I saw it. One day I asked my dad how Boot got his name. My father said that the Nazis had captured Uncle Boot during World War II. The facts here get a bit muddled. Dad is gone and so are Boot and his brothers, so there’s probably not much chance that I’ll ever find out the full story. During his capture, Americans opened fire on the Nazis, and Uncle Boot got shot in the foot. He was liberated and was fitted with a special shoe, and the nickname “Boot� was born. Dad showed me a newspaper photo of Uncle Boot on R&R (rest and recuperation). He was wearing a Hawaiian lei and, sure enough, was donning his trademark smile. Uncle Boot never let his boot get in the way of marching in the annual Mummer’s Day Parade. He was in a comic brigade and one time won a prize for dressing up as The Cisco Kid. I can still remember the excitement of watching him on TV that day. He wore a fancy braided white cowboy suit with matching white western hat. That beautiful smile looked great on a close-up. All that was missing was the stogie cigar. Uncle Boot had this habit of sleepwalking. There were times he was found wearing pajamas walking on Moyamensing Avenue blocks from his home. Who knows, maybe in his dream he was trying to escape from the Nazis or just strolling down the avenue on New Year’s Day. Luckily, someone from the neighborhood always found him and brought him home. Everybody liked Boot. Even after he was hired by the neighborhood as a watchman, got a little tipsy, and shot out the lights in a pinball machine in a luncheonette one unfortunate night at Ninth and Wolf streets, Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Tapping their resources

o read a recipe from Mildred Lloyd-Henderson is to become acquainted with a woman who takes great care in preparing dishes that will never leave stomachs revolting over a lack of deliciousness. With her Vegetable Shellfish Stew submission, Lenten Fridays should prove a cinch for those who are fasting but still wish to feast. The resident of the 2400 block of Manton Street does not skimp on shrimp or crabs in making this a dynamic provider of protein. Combined with the vegetables and the spices, the seafood delights will definitely have you reaching for your biggest pot to try to duplicate the Grays Ferry resident’s offering. SPR

hen I was growing up, Sunday breakfast meant bagels and lox. Belly lox is salty while Nova Scotia salmon was not. Philadelphia Brand cream cheese or Temptee whipped cream cheese was always in the fridge. Sometimes we enjoyed kippered salmon or smoked chubbies that were probably trout. All Jewish delis offer a smoked fish platter for brunch. Iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, and black olives formed the backdrop for the smoked fish. For the past few years, chefs have been smoking salmon, trout and bluefish. This is a fine thing. Several weeks ago, I received a tweet from Fork. It included a photograph of the smoked fish platter for two ($75) available at Sunday brunch. I almost jumped through my computer screen. Fork, under the ownership of Ellen Yin and Chef Eli Kulp, has been in business for more than 20 years. I have dined there many times and have never been disappointed. We sat at a roomy table in the window and watched the comings and goings on Market Street. I sipped a bloody Mary ($10) that was prepared with tomato juice rather than a mix. It imparted the right touch of spice and Lea & Perrins. The Italians are correct when they say “first you eat with your eyes.� The smoked fish platter for two looked like a beautiful cross between a Seder plate and a caviar service. A large silver plate was lined with crisp endive leaves and bite-size pieces of radicchio. Thinly sliced smoked arctic char was nestled on the colorful vegetables. It tasted like the Nova of my childhood and was not one bit salty. The chefs at Fork make their own cream cheese. One small glass bowl contained the goodie topped with freshly grated horseradish, the other topped with bits of chopped chives. Cream cheese with chives is classic. I simply spread the cream cheese on the homemade bagels and added the fish. Fork has been baking bagels and a myriad of breads for years. One can buy them at High Street, the eatery’s sister restaurant next door. Another small glass bowl contained smoked bluefish. I’ve tasted smoked bluefish on a few occasions, but Fork likes to add its own

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

twist. The fish was done like a brandade. This classic from the south of France is always prepared with salt cod and is whipped into a delicious oblivion. Tasting smoked bluefish in this manner was heaven-sent. Pieces of in-house smoked trout were placed in another small glass bowl. Smoked trout is sometimes salty, but this marvelous version was not. These fishes were delicious on a bagel and slices of dense whole wheat bread. Chopped hard-cooked egg, sans mayonnaise, was a plus for the platter. Then I tasted the crispy capers. Capers are sometimes added to a smoked fish platter. But these tiny bits of goodness were crisp like the best potato chips you have ever enjoyed. I could enjoy them as a snack. But they added a different sort of crunch to the fish. Yin was in the restaurant on this particular Sunday afternoon. I have known her forever since she opened Fork. She greeted us and wanted us to sample a few small oysters from Cape May along with a refreshing octopus salad. A small dish of American caviar kept company with the octopus. The bright orange eggs popped in my mouth. A winter salad of greens, kale and sweet orange segments was another dish Ellen wanted us to enjoy. Fork has received national recognition. After a perfect Sunday brunch, it is not difficult to see why. Four tips of the toque to Fork. SPR

individuals end up making matters far worse by taking on so many pursuits that they are unable to derive little if any joy from their endeavors. One need only watch Nouzha Cooper as she prepares food to know she is not among those who have to experiment with practice after practice to notice their niche. Since 2012, the 43-yearold has pleased patrons at Green Olives Cafe, 1941 E. Passyunk Ave., with her culinary creations and delightful demeanor. “This is what makes me happy,� the hostess said from the 50-seat East Passyunk Crossing-based establishment. “There are all sorts of ingredients for our food, but the favorite for me is my love.� The Haverford occupant developed her affection for provisions as a Moroccanreared youth. With 17 years in the United States, the Marrakesh product has proven that no matter where one lands, if a person can blend passion for a vocation and a sunny disposition, people will applaud the effort and encourage additional displays of verve. “It’s easy to catch me singing and dancing as I tend to orders,� Cooper said of keeping owner George Ghawi’s location a light destination. “I want to make everyone who walks in here feel special.� Guests will also be able to call themselves “full� through a trek to Green Olives Cafe. Window-situated Golden Grub awards certificates make apparent that the site has won the favor of local diners, a fact that charms Cooper, who noted the BYOB spot prides itself on being the gateway to the restaurant haven that East Passyunk Avenue has become. With so many tempting options available in the vicinity, she contends Green Olives has enjoyed success because the food never needs to sacrifice taste to preserve a

considerations make that more evident than the Green Olive Variety of Appetizers consisting of hummus, baba ghanouj, grape leaves, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and falafel, with Cooper choosing to share the recipe for the chickpea-constituted gem. “We receive many compliments for our falafel,� she said of the item that also comes in sandwich form and as an appetizer on its own. “It’s a staple food in Middle Eastern countries and some African lands, too. It’s also an easy enough food to attempt to make, and the more you try to do so, the better you’ll become at it and the more confident you will be to share what you’ve made.�

DIRECTIONS: Soak the chickpeas overnight. Grind the legumes, and add the salt, pepper, onions, and parsley. Form into balls using a falafel scoop, and deep fry at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. SPR Comment at drink/features.

By Mystic Terry Psychic Reader

A

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Remaining silent does not mean you condone someone’s bad behavior. You might bite your lips for the sake of keeping the peace, but you don’t intend to have any further dealings with this person. Cutting nonbeneficial ties will be a wise move. Lucky number: 765. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Refrain from thinking a partner is as keen as you are to get involved in a new project. There’s nothing stopping you from going after what you want, but this is more likely to be a solo effort rather than a desired team one. Lucky number: 951. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Work schedules hinder personal time. Emails and text

S D

messages make it impossible for you to switch off at the end of each day. Turn off your emails, pings and vibrations. Once done work, you are entitled to undisturbed downtime. Lucky number: 706. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): You feel restless and fidgety and not in the mood for routine. You’re willing to take a chance on anything to keep this from turning into a slow, dull week. A flirtatious conversation with a colleague will make you both yearn for more. Keeping your hands off each other will be your biggest challenge. Lucky number: 547. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Your talents are wasted if you stay in a restrictive situation. Experiment with new ideas, and you will reawaken to life’s possibilities. Setting your sights on new goals will lift your spirits. You might just go for a partner’s unusual suggestion. Lucky number: 493. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): You and a colleague or neighbor have had a disagreement. You respect his or her views but not the attempt to push them on you. Workplace tension makes it almost impossible to get productive mileage out of joint efforts. Lucky number: 650.

G H

nature. Later, text messages from an upset friend will interrupt your tranquility. Something he or she asks you to do won’t sit well with you. Lucky number: 571. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): A friend’s change of heart about excitement-inspiring plans is unfortunate. Do you have to change your arrangements just because of this person? Someone expects you to follow a lead, but you could bypass hurdles by ignoring his or her advice. Take the initiative, and success will be yours. Lucky number: 856. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Exercise good judgment with money and romance. Your best friend or romantic partner is reluctant to support your ideas, and this lack of enthusiasm hurts. This is a bad time to make an Internet purchase. A social event will cost much more than anticipated. Lucky number: 021. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): You are generous with your affections and possessions. People will readily respond to this mood. Seriously

s

d

f

think about a received proposition. Flexibility in your thinking makes you willing to explore new ideas. You could find yourself warming to a friend’s or colleague’s unusual suggestions. Lucky number: 324. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): You wish someone would realize you don’t need his or her constant advice. You know this person has your best interests at heart, but the interference in your affairs is wearing you down. Are you single? Social activities bring you new and different places to go and help to appease your restless spirit. Lucky number: 324. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Your attention is so focused on business concerns, you haven’t noticed how much a youngster or elderly relative needs you. Support struggling people. Keep your feet down to earth where family and work matters are concerned. Try taking this week at an easier pace than normal. Lucky number: 685. SPR

ith Valentine’s Day half a week behind us, most upcoming mentions of “passion� will likely center on supporters’ ardent connection to their athletic heroes. A word with the wherewithal to convey relentless conviction, passion comes from “passio,� Latin for “suffering.� With nearly 27 years as a follower of Philly sports, Rudy Mezzy has often had to hang his head in disappointment, but no loss can nix his niche as a fan, and each success breeds even more reverence for athletes’ endeavors. Enthused about addressing how other zealots process their teams’ progress, the Passyunk Square inhabitant and two peers are trying to secure funds to foster “SportsTown,� an analytical series by 20/20 Visual Media, 813 S. Fourth St., that tackles locations’ affinities for sporting pursuits. “We’re really enamored with knowing what draws people to particular teams and with understanding how they define themselves as backers,� Mezzy said Monday from his Queen Village-situated place of employment. “Certain places, it seems, carve out their identity based mainly on their pull toward their teams, and studying that attraction to the players and their efforts really interests me.� The resident of the 700 block of Reed

Street and executive producers Rob Czyzewicz and Patrick Rosenbaum have 18 days remaining in their IndieGoGo campaign to generate $25,000 for the filming of the second episode of their “SportsTown� brainchild. Having headed to Tuscaloosa three years ago to chronicle the University of Alabama football squad’s devotees, they want to continue to understand the boosts and the bumps that come with adoring the feats of strangers. “When I went to college, I wanted to have a relationship with the fans, especially since I was one, too,� Mezzy said of his matriculation at Temple University and coverage of the North Philly school’s student-athletes. “I’m not too far removed from those days, and it’s still amazing to me to wonder how sports can unite so many people. So few athletes end up being responsible for the joy of millions.� He and his contemporaries ventured to the Yellowhammer State based on the Crimson Tide’s standing as the most decorated program in college football, with 16 claimed national titles, and his stint as a sports anchor in Nebraska, another territory where collegiate pigskinners win favor. Eager to show that one should not consider Tuscaloosa solely a football

>Ob`WQY @]aS\POc[ @]P 1hghSeWQh O\R @cRg ;Shhg O`S bVS P`OW\a PSVW\R DWacOZ ;SRWO P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

haven, Mezzy and his mates succeeded in detailing residents’ regard for other facets of life and look forward to duplicating their task in an undetermined city. “If you look at college towns, for example, you’ll find that people think only about the young men and women who put on cleats, pads, or whatever, and that perception pretty much blankets the university,� the multimedia producer said. “We know that while sports might be the center of attention for designated areas, getting at what drives that is where we’ll find compelling stories and make connections. It’s going to be fun to see what our next spot will be.� THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY native comes from a family with an intense affinity for local athletes. His draw toward their drive began in earnest in 1993, with the Phillies’ run to the World Series standing as a perennially rewarding introduction into the psyches and the sorrows of Philadelphia fans. “I am saying this definitely not out of disrespect because I’ve gone through it, too, over the years, but we just haven’t had many winners here,� Mezzy lamented. “There’s something about being a supporter of these teams that requires a hefty supply of patience. We’re pretty good at it, though. I just wish we could have a few breakthroughs.� Through his adolescence and Temple tenure, the 26-year-old acquired even more of an appreciation for fans’ fervor and noted that even when the Phillies triumphed in 2008, defeating the Tampa

Bay Rays in five games for the crown, the city’s championship swagger declined immediately and has yet to enjoy any sort of rejuvenation. “There’s promise, for sure,� Mezzy said. “If we wait long enough, who knows? A redeeming part of the delay, though, is that we’ve been able to experience the talent and dedication of people such as [former Phillies second baseman] Chase Utley and [ex-Eagle] Brian Dawkins. You’d be hard-pressed, in any city, to find guys who could rival their characters and contributions to team unity.� Originally a theater major, Mezzy graduated with broadcasting, telecommunications, and mass media as his trio of means to ponder how to mesh his curiosity as a connoisseur of dynamic presentations of information and the ever-growing desire among people of all ages for constant stimulation and satisfaction of their need-to-know identities. Through his aforementioned stay in the Cornhusker State, he found himself enticed by the frenzy surrounding the Big 10 Conference constituent’s football unit and has grown in his own admiration for depictions of comparable passion through his two-year journey with 20/20 Visual Media. “I love what we’re doing,� Mezzy said of the four-year-old entity, whose Facebook page says its overseers root their passion “in telling the tales of triumph, perseverance, and dedication, whether on the basketball court or football field, or in a high-profile business or educational environment.� “We hope it’s all building toward continuing to tell great stories and meeting great people.� In striving to secure a second place to profile, the local noted pledgers can help to decide where they will head and confirmed that if a distributor one day orchestrates a deal with them, he and his colleagues have as many as 100 sites on their minds, including the City of Brotherly Love. “However we go forth, it’s going to be our goal to focus on people and how these teams have become such a part of who they are,� Mezzy said. “As someone who loves latching on to teams, I expect for this to have a great effect on me, too.� SPR Visit igg.me/at/SportsTown.
