To the Editor: We all realize the wretched and unbearable havoc these heavyhanded snowstorms and blizzards that wreak down on us — five to 10 or more inches — is left to be dealt with. The manpower, equipment, expensive salt and the trauma left us. How would you like to see all of these white mountains almost immediately vaporized right before your eyes? Impossible, you say? Ever wonder why no nation in the world has yet to discover a solution for this white havoc? Well, little dopey me has a fix-all solution that has been in plain sight for all to see. Even the very healthy giants of businesses throughout the world missed this by the proverbial mile. Imagine the automobile industry being the very first to utilize this unique and practical method vaporizing snow and ice and turning it into plain warm water that will

=\ aSQ]\RVO\R To the Editor: This week the members of the Philadelphia City Council will vote on legislation that would provide several exemptions to Philadelphia’s Clean Indoor Air and Worker Protection Law. A limited number of establishments applied for and were granted exemptions by the original deadline in April 2007. Why grant additional exemptions now when it will mean jeopardizing the health of every worker and every patron who visits these four establishments? The American Heart Association is joined by many health advocacy partners, including the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and American Lung Association, in urging Council to defeat and reject these bills that fly in the face of fairness and jeopardize worker health. Health advocates declared a major victory when Philadelphia’s Clean Indoor Air and Worker Protection Law went into effect in January ’07. At the time of passage, we celebrated a public health milestone

that more Philadelphians than ever before would be protected from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. The members of City Council understand the dangers of secondhand smoke to human health. The evidence is clear that exposure to secondhand smoke wreaks immediate havoc on the body’s cardiovascular system and is a contributing factor to the development of heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases, leading to thousands of unnecessary heart attacks and deaths each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, long-term exposure to second-hand smoke, such as exposure in a workplace, is associated with a 25 to 30 percent increased risk for coronary heart disease in adult non-smokers. The legislation under consideration creates an unfair choice for Philadelphia’s workers in today’s tough economy: Should they risk working in a smoke-filled environment that may kill them in order to support their families? Philadelphia’s workers shouldn’t be forced to expose themselves to a toxic and harmful environment in order to have a job and a paycheck. Nothing about the science on the deadly effects of secondhand smoke has changed. Less than a quarter of Philadelphians are smokers; the vast majority of Philadelphians don’t smoke and don’t want exposure to secondhand smoke. Enforcing the clean indoor air law comprehensively would protect all workers and the public from the harms of secondhand smoke exposure and would provide a level playing field for all city businesses without exception. Rather than allowing new exemptions, we should be phasing out the more than 70 exemptions that have already been granted. The American Heart Association’s mission is to build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. We encourage City Council to join us in this mission by protecting all Philadelphians from the dangers of secondhand smoke, no exceptions. 9S\\SbV 0 ;O`UcZWSa ; 2

t 12:35 p.m. Friday, the complainant was at Snyder Supermarket, 2700 Snyder Ave., when an employee accused him of stealing, leading to an argument, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He allowed the worker to pat him down to prove his innocence, but the figure supposedly demanded he leave, shouting “Get the (expletive) out of the store.� The complainant refused to depart, as he was waiting for three hoagies, and stated the offender went behind the front counter, retrieved a black gun, walked back over to him and repeated the demand. The customer walked to the rear to pick up his sandwiches, with the worker reportedly following him, Tolliver said. The man then allegedly forcefully placed the barrel of the weapon under the consumer’s chin and threatened to kill him. Breaking free, the complainant called authorities, and during the wait for their arrival, he observed the offender again go around the counter, place the gun in a bag and head to the back of the store. Authorities recovered the firearm and arrested Juan Soriano, of the 2700 block of Tasker Street, and charged him with possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, making terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person. He posted his $25,000 bail and awaits a March 16 status hearing.

Robert Powers, whom court records list as having a 19148 zip code, received his sentence from U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno five days after former officer Christopher Saravello pleaded guilty to plotting with him and another man. According to his charging document, the 23-year-old sentenced individual agreed in June 2012 to pretend to sell OxyContin pills to a drug user in South Philly. In

the scam, Saravello, whom the Eastern District of the United States Attorney’s Office charged in November, drove up in his marked car and uniform, seized around $1,200 and detained Powers, to whom he gave one-third of the score. On another occasion, Saravello ordered Powers and another buyer, identified as South Philly resident Robert Nagy, to stand up against a wall, with the former law enforcement agent taking the same amount of cash. Powers, having fled on foot, then ventured to meet Nagy, who in July received a 10-month sentence from Robreno, at his residence to collect his share. Saravello, whose extortion scheme netted $9,800 in drug money and quantities of OxyContin and other narcotics, awaits a June sentencing.

7\WbWOZ `STcaOZ An at-large offender robbed three teenagers in Newbold. The complainants exited Gill Grocery Store, 1400 S. 18th St., at 6:20 p.m. Feb. 12 and came into contact with an unknown individual who pointed a small silver gun at them to demand their money and phones, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first two victims immediately complied, but the third resisted, leading the aggressor to strike him in the face with the weapon. Receiving the property, the perpetrator ordered the complainants to leave the block and fired a shot at the third youth, Tolliver said, with the bullet missing its target. The teenagers described the offender as black, 20 to 30 years old and 5-foot-10; having a thin build, light skin and a goatee; and wearing a black hoodie and skull cap.

6SO`W\U Q]\bW\cSR Grays Ferry resident Gilbert Bates, who had a Feb. 4 preliminary hearing scheduled, will instead have his date in court April 7 for allegedly shooting a Point Breeze man. The 39-year-old arrestee supposedly argued with Terrell Nelson on Sept, 26, 2013 behind a home on 27th and Wolf streets, Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. Bates then reportedly shot the 27-year-old in the face, leading to his transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where personnel pronounced him dead. Gates had his bail denied Jan. 20 and faces murder, possession of an instrument of crime and firearms violations charges. +(*

t became official late last week – Philadelphia’s premiere LGBT-oriented health organization, Mazzoni Center, is moving to South Philly. Its overseers make it just under the wire: their new home, which will begin with construction this summer, will be at 1328-1338 Bainbridge St. One block south of South Street and two blocks from the Lombard-South Broad Street Line, with the move, they are stretching the boundaries of what’s considered the gayborhood and confirming their stature as an important institution in the city as well as nationwide. In their 35th year, they operate out of three Center City addresses and are bursting at the seams. Their two offices, 21 S. 12th St. and 809 Locust St., total about 31,000 square feet – when they combine into one on Bainbridge, they’ll occupy almost 45,000 square feet. They hope to finish by the summer of 2017 and will be able to personalize and expand on two adjacent unoccupied spaces, customizing office and medical spaces to their precise needs. Their third location, a rapid-testing stronghold at 1201 Locust St., will not be affected. Mazzoni contacted Alterra Group, LLC in ’13 to begin looking for a new space. Their tenant representation will be with Savills Studley, commercial real estate advisors, who will also provide project management services throughout the design and construction process. “What I’m really excited about is seeing how much the organization has grown over the last few years since I’ve been on the board,� Dr. Jimmy Ruiz, an OB-GYN physician who grew up on Staten Island, lives in Glenside and has a private practice out of Abington, said. “Mazzoni helps provide services for both health care and social services with a focus on the LGBTQ community.� The non-profit, according to a press release, will especially bolster “Mazzoni Center’s growing medical practice and behavioral health program, and will provide the agency with comfortable, updated spaces for its LGBT legal services, case management, food bank and housing programs for people with HIV, as well as HIV prevention, education and other key departments.� They’ll go from 13 to 26 patient exam rooms and expand their staff of therapists, nearly doubling the number of counseling rooms. “Mazzoni Center also plans to launch an Intensive Outpatient Program, which will be the first in the Philadelphia region dedicated to helping LGBT individuals with substance abuse issues,� according to the report. The Center’s CEO, Nurit Shein, will have a much shorter commute in three summers’ time. “I love the neighborhood – I look forward to bringing

everybody else with me,� the Israeli native, retired colonel and resident of 18th and Bainbridge streets, said. She came to the organization in 1994 as its executive director, and things were very different then. “We were a much different organization then, we were much smaller. It was actually pretty difficult because it was still at the height of the AIDS epidemic, and we were facing a lot of debt and distress from the community,� she confessed. But things are much, much better now. “We have added at least 30 new patients every month and have added a new clinician on an annual basis. Currently, we have no more room to grow in any of our locations,� she said. THERE IS SOMETHING meaningful and symbolic in their move and maturation. “The physical statement of having a building that is an LGBT health organization is an important thing to us and to Philadelphia. And we really have the support of City Council members and of the mayor and of the LGBT director [Helen “Nellie� L. Fitzpatrick] – it’s a good thing,� Shein said. “And we’re looking forward to coming into your neighborhood. We’re expanding the gayborhood all the way down, and it’s been expanding.� The use of a creative Town Hall space will be, in part, shaped by folks in the neighborhood with ideas for how to use the space. “We’ve been very good neighbors, and we bring good energy to the neighborhood,� Shein added. She also praised Philadelphia’s status as one of the friendliest, if not the friendliest, cities to LGBT people in America. She could be referring to the near-perfect 100 score from the Human Rights Campaign’s 2014 Municipal Equality Index report, which measures “the law, policies and services of municipalities and rates them on the

basis of their inclusivity of LGBT people who live and work there.� “Clearly, Philadelphia is much more of an LGBT hub than it was 20 years ago – I am hoping that we have contributed something to that [score],� Shein said. Mazzoni aims at “health care to the whole person and not just to the medical concern at hand,� Ruiz, who’s seen strides in medical education since he graduated from medical school in 1998, said. “When you have providers that have already had the experience in addressing those needs, any patient would want to go to a provider who has experience with their situation.� Before the move, Mazzoni staff took a look at similar institutions and other cities, and Ruiz says it’s about time Philly got itself a brick-and-mortar home for LGBT health. “It’s almost as if Mazzoni is taking its place among its peers in terms of having its own home,� the physician said. When pressed on if there were an aspect or department of her non-profit that she held dearest to her, Shein wouldn’t dare say. “They’re all my babies. Well, now they’re my teenagers. I just love every single department: with prevention, what we’re doing in the schools with young people and training self-esteem and negotiating skills, this is invaluable for young people; [we help] trans folks with legal name changes; helping homeless youth with medical care; helping people sort out internalized homophobia through counseling,� Shein concluded. “That is why we’re talking about holistic health – it’s not just legal or medical or housing – we have to look at the individual as a whole and help them wherever they need help.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

2/<53@=CA D/1/<173A Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS Point Breeze don’t have those L&I orange signs and should: abandoned houses with open doors and windows invite crime and arson and threaten physical safety. The Controller’s report says there are a total of 1,215 vacant properties in violation of code, 791 of them are “Open and/ or not in compliance with City Code.� 101 of them are the most dangerous, “considered Unsafe, Imminently Dangerous or Hazardous with conditions that were not in compliance.� Their zip code breakdown of vacant properties is particularly fascinating. Of the 47 zips in Philadelphia, the top seven zip codes are all in Northeast Philly: 60 in Frankford’s 19124 leads the pack. The following six are spread throughout Port Richmond, and the zips along Frankford Avenue up to Olney and Fox Chase. South Philly’s 19146, characterized by Point Breeze and Grays Ferry, is the highest on the list south of South Street, ranking eighth with 31 properties; 19148 is 14th with 23; 19145 is 18th with 18; and 19147 is 37th with only nine listings. “L&I has been a constant target for us, but we recognize that they’ve been starved for resources for over 10 years. We have a long history of being on this issue,� City Controller Alan Butkovitz said. He added that NBC 10 sent a list of questions to his office in December, and they decided to investigate and report on privately-held vacant properties (they issued a report in 2010 that addressed publiclyheld lands, and Butkovitz said “it wasn’t dramatic as this report�). “We worked cooperatively with L&I to exchange information and to prioritize the properties that needed to be demolished,� the controller reported, adding “when we got closer to the conclusion [of the report] they started to be non-responsive.� Despite numerous phone calls and emails, L&I never responded for comment.

“UNDER THE CITY of Philadelphia’s Code, the owner of a vacant structure or lot is required to obtain a license with the Licenses and Inspections Department,� the report reads. Applicants for a license have to provide a contact name, address and their Philadelphia Business Income and Receipts Tax Number. The cost is $150 per year, and it must be obtained no more than 30 days following vacating the building. “City Code also requires owners to take measures to prevent unauthorized entry to the premises,� the report notes, “including securing windows, doors, or any other openings accessible to trespassers or vermin.� There are hundreds of open windows throughout Point Breeze. There are boarded up properties without orange signs at the corners of 21st and 23rd and Federal streets and several along the 2300 block of Federal Street. But a real sight is the former home of the Barrett Educational Center at 1300-1304 S. 24th St. Caution tape dangles from the handrails along its

front steps, and windows are broken open everywhere — inexplicably, one such second-floor window has a tree growing out of it. Butkovitz’s team “interviewed a guy who lives next to one of those imminently dangerous properties who told of laying in bed and hearing it creak and shift, and he wondered if the building was going to come crashing down on him.� He also cited a relative in Northern Liberties who hung on to their vacant house, in hopes of its rise in value, “for a lifetime. It took them about 40 years. I think that is representative of the mindset in all of this.� It makes sense. If one has the right to hold on to a vacant house for $150 a year, why not let it accumulate worth in a growing city? “It raises a good question — how many continuances do they get, and how many violations are there?� Butkovitz said. “How the system gets played the way it does.� The controller’s office and its report

looked to Baltimore and Chicago for better practice techniques. “They treat this as something that’s really serious,� the controller said. Cheron Porter, the director of communications for Baltimore Housing, said they addressed namely code enforcement and the way their office runs. “Someone might try to purchase a property from us, and that might take a year — that’s not effective or attractive. We changed the way we did it we were able to issue greater fines for people who were not compliant,� Porter said, adding “I believe the folks in Philly have been in communication with us.� One of the biggest problems is easily the program and software used to maintain inspection records. Butkovitz said “it started with Oracle. It’s gone on for all of the years that I’ve been here. It’s been a long-term to goal to be more integrative, and there have been numerous failures on that front – I assume it’s contributed to by technology and bureaucratic turf,� he added. Baltimore has a system called CHIP. “We created a software tool that tracks all of our properties so we can just type in an address and see the inspection report or any complaints that have been made, what the follow-up has been and with pictures and notices,� Porter said. The vacant status fee in Chicago is $250 to $500, Chicago’s Department of Buildings’ spokeswoman Mimi Simon said. “The fee is higher if the City finds it to be in violation before it registers,� she said, and added that they’ve established a unique “court call� explicitly to tackle this issue. “We have a special vacant building court call that allows the City and the courts to take a more systematic approach – they’re streamlining the vacant building cases into the vacant building court call and not getting it mixed up with other cases going through circuit court. It processes things a little bit quicker.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

PORTRAIT PHOTO BY RICHARD BARNES

iz Filios has long regarded risk-taking as a requisite to promoting artistic growth. Recently endowed with two enviable accolades for her acting acumen, the 31-year-old is again courting complexity by playing Cinderella in “Into the Woods.� “The role is so fulfilling and so hard,� the performer said from her East Passyunk Crossing residence, noting the emotional and physical aspects of her endeavor, the latter including the playing of five instruments. “She has so much more to her than one might presume. She is very spirited and goes through an evolution. Add up those elements, and this is probably the hardest thing

I’ve ever done.� Filios is focusing on fusing the fairy tale figure’s characteristics through Theatre Horizon. Making her debut for the Norristownbased entity, she is benefiting not only from her resolve but also the intensity of her colleagues, including South Philadelphians Alex Bechtel, Rachel Camp and Matthew Decker, the company’s resident director. “It’s a dream to work with such amazing people,� she said of addressing the Stephen Sondheim-penned musical, singling out Decker for his realization that audiences witness Cinderella’s spirit transcending surrounding sorrow. “They’re enthused about telling a great story, which inspires me because Cinderella, in this version, has so much depth to her, and I want to convey that accordingly.� As the work, which Disney last year adapted in film form, explores what occurs beyond the “And they lived happily ever after� sentiment, Filios and her fellow hires

chronicle that acquiring one’s wishes can prove as confounding as never obtaining them. That people must persist resonates as a chief theme for the thespians, with Filios fond of finding the lessons within that task. “I could say that in many ways, I aspire to be like her,� she said of the character whom she is portraying through March 1. “She’s able to muster strength to go on despite setbacks. No matter what sort of fortune we have, that’s an incredible mentality to have.� AS A “PRECOCIOUS, audacious, perhaps presumptuous kid� who matured in Michigan, Filios quickly acquired qualities that have made her akin to her character, namely being knowledgeable of the need to endure and reverent of the inherent clout within any challenge. Growing up with engrossing exposure to musical theater, she knew at age 12 that stages would stoke her ambition, even asking her parents, whom she credits for her lifelong gusto, for an agent as a Christmas present. Matriculating at the University of Michigan, she welcomed the wisdom of Brent Wagner, chair of the musical theater department, who advised his charges to imagine themselves as racehorses wearing blinders so as to focus

only on themselves while chasing glory. “You have to possess the guts to try if you want to be in this field,� Filios, who became a fixated filly in the figurative horse race by also studying Commedia dell’arte, physical theatre, Theatre of the Grotesque, classical voice and directing and by venturing to Africa, Asia, Europe and South America for artistic opportunities, said. “Early on, I was pretty headstrong only to become shyer later on, but I realized that I would have to diversify to have a chance at being consistently employed.� Having come to Philadelphia to audition for “Il Racconto d’Inverno,� which took her to Italy, she returned to the city following receiving directing tutelage in South Africa, deeming the metropolis “the best gift.� Her Italian excursion became an additional boon when she scored a teaching position through Camp Wilma, as the post called for her to educate pupils on the land of love’s copious contributions to theater. Filios has used that experience and numerous exceptional turns for area companies to forge a Philadelphia love story. “I love the city’s history, grit and openness,� the four-year South Philly inhabitant said, adding she loves the task of taking on the realm’s challenges, especially as an outsider. “You have to earn your

place here, and that’s not something you do through having money or prestige. It comes from having humility, diligence and determination and by working on your craft.� Connoisseurs commended her talent in October, with the overseers of the Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre naming her Outstanding Lead Actress in a Musical for her appearance in Inis Nua Theatre Co.’s “Midsummer [a play with songs]� and granting her the F. Otto Haas Award for an Emerging Philadelphia Theatre Artist. “I’m so honored to have won, especially because I’m so aware of the amazing performers in this city, particularly those in South Philly, which is really a culturally diverse and inspirational place to live,� Filios said. “I’m very fortunate to have met so many encouraging people.� Losing one such illuminating individual in fellow performer and dear friend Reuben Mitchell, who died Nov. 12, 2012 following a motorcycle accident, has bred a desire to transform his writings on the human voice and William Shakespeare into a full-scale project. She ventured to Canada’s National Voice Intensive in Vancouver last summer for instruction and will articulate her plan through March workshops at

Theatre Horizon and hopes to perpetuate Mitchell’s insistence on positivity and tenacity. Filios, who also made evident her mastery of those concepts as a host for Sprout’s “The Sunny Side Up Show,� which helped her to develop even more diligence because of the program’s massive audience, also has claimed kudos for her presence within the South Philly-heavy Bearded Ladies Cabaret, of which she is a founding member. Deeming the members her “heart,� she has intensified her risk-taking mentality through their concepts, with backup singer duties for the band Johnny Showcase providing another means to revel in the rewards of realizing that actualizing dreams will always lead someone out of the woods. “I’m looking to delve into one or two things at a time as opposed to other times when I tried many things at once,� Filios said. “I keep encountering people with great vision, so I definitely want to contribute to a really passionate community however I can.� SPR For tickets, call 610-283-2230, or visit theatrehorizon.org.

ere’s how it went down — It was show and tell day in Miss Pasternak’s room at Francis Scott Key Elementary School, 2230 S. Eighth St., I don’t think we called it show and tell back then about hundred years or so ago. Miss Pasternak displayed the items on a wooden table in the corner of the room. I don’t remember what item I brought in that day. It’s not important. It’s what I coveted that is — a small, wooden white rabbit. I lusted after that little rabbit like Adam wanted a bite out of that apple in the Garden of Eden. Why? What do I know? Maybe I had just read “Alice In Wonderland.� Decades later, I loved “White Rabbit� by Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane — maybe I had a premonition. I quickly looked around the room to make sure no one was looking. With the coast clear, I popped the rabbit into my shirt pocket. The start of a promising criminal career. No moral qualms whatsoever. I guess it was inevitable that my theft was discovered right after afternoon recess. I’m not sure who squealed on me. Miss Pasternak played it cool. She strolled up and down the aisles of our classroom before she stopped at my desk and asked me if I had taken the rabbit. The rabbit was bulging in my shirt pocket, but I looked Miss Pasternak in the eye and denied it all. She must have had X-ray eyes. She told me to empty my shirt pocket, and there was the rabbit. But hardened criminal that I was, I wasn’t finished yet. I blamed the theft on my best friend (we are still best friends many decades later). He gave me the hot goods at recess and asked me to hold it. Miss Pasternak wasn’t buying it. She kept me after school, hoping that I would show some remorse. Hardened cons don’t show remorse. I held firm. It was when I peed my knickers (I told you that this was a long time ago) that remorse set in. Arriving home late from school was one thing, but arriving home with a pee stain down the front of one’s knickers is quite something else. Upon intense questioning from my mother, I came up with a quick alibi. Miss Pasternak had falsely accused me of stealing a white rabbit and then refused to let me go to the restroom to relieve myself. Mom bought the story. All of it. She took

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` S d W S e Q ] [

my arm, and we stormed back to school. Miss Pasternak was still sitting at her desk in the now empty classroom. A terrible confrontation ensued. I stood idly by, looking angelic as possible above the fray of battle. Numerous charges were hurled back and forth. I distinctly remember Miss Pasternak telling Mom that her son was a “liar and a thief.� Me — who was standing there looking like a member of the Vienna Boys Choir. Impossible to believe. Mom said some stuff, too, that has thankfully been lost in the cobwebs of time. The tale (or was it tail?) of the white rabbit and Miss Pasternak became the stuff of legend in our family. The story was repeated almost as often as the one where my mother and her sisters got into a fight at a local bakery that ended with Mom smashing a coconut custard pie on the counter and the owner tossing a powdered sugar shaker at my Mom while her sisters were tossing chairs. Hey, the pie was moldy, and the owner had denied it was his pie! It was years later. My mother was sitting in a wheelchair on a balcony at The Watermark on Logan Square. My wife and I were sitting opposite her. The evening was pleasantly warm. The sky at twilight was a palette of red, pink and a smear of light blue. The noisy blades of a helicopter could be heard flying in the sky overhead. It was a good evening for retelling family stories, and Mom had just disclosed to me after all these years that she voted Democrat just to spite my Republican father. He had made the mistake of trying to pull the lever for her (in those days, husbands and wives were allowed in the voting booths together). I am not sure why I thought this was a good time to confess my guilt in stealing the white rabbit. I’m not even sure whether I had tried to confess earlier in my life or even whether Brian Williams was around when I did so. Maybe I thought that catharsis would be good for my soul. I had not turned into a hardened criminal, although some of you would probably prefer that I did rather than take up writing a column. In any event, I recalled the story of the white rabbit and admitted my guilt. Mom looked at me and screamed, “No, you didn’t!!!� Not her son. It was then I realized that even John Dillinger’s mother probably couldn’t have accepted the truth about her son. I stopped trying. Sorry, Miss Pasternak. Sorry, my innocent friend. When Mom finally calmed down, I changed the subject to the time that my Uncle Boot (hired by the neighborhood as a watchman) had gotten loaded and tried to shoot the lights out of the pinball machine. Truth does not always win out when it involves mothers and sons. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

hen the 2015 Oscar nominations were announced in January, the Academy, which just last year gave its top prize to the black-centric period drama “12 Years a Slave,� took a ton of flack for selecting a whitewashed roster of talent, snubbing “Selma� director Ava Duvernay and failing to nominate a single actor of color for the first time in two decades. The announcement launched a sociopolitical debate (and yielded the Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite), but as always, the nominations reflected more about the politics within the Academy itself than within our society at large. For example, “Selma� distributor Paramount reportedly neglected to distribute an ample amount of screeners to voters, meaning fewer were able to see the film. Thus, the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic, though nominated for Best Picture, is unlikely to win. It’s a shame its chances seem lower than those of fellow nominees “The Imitation Game� and “The Theory of Everything,� two more biopics that are wellacted, but generally milquetoast — tailormade for “Academy tastes,� but lacking personality. A better pair of nominated movies is “The Grand Budapest Hotel,� the best film ever made by whimsical auteur Wes Anderson, and “Whiplash,� a stunningly tight debut from budding director Damien Chazelle. Both would be more deserving than the other films listed above, as well as Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper,� a movie that, while not the jingoistic exercise some liberal viewers are painting it to be, lacks the unique punch to reach the finish line. In all likelihood, the Best Picture race will come down to a wrestling match between “Boyhood� and “Birdman,� two movies that have both been celebrated for their grand ambitions. Filmed over 12 years, “Boyhood� is an unprecedented triumph for Richard Linklater, while

“Birdman,â€? Alejandro Gonzalez Iùårritu’s first dramedy, boasts the virtuoso illusion of being shot in a single take. Both films have their merits, and “Boyhoodâ€? seems the safer bet, but their most glaring common thread is the exaltation of male egos, meaning the Academy’s gender problem is arguably worse than its race problem.

fter much anticipation, Bing Bing Dim Sum, 1648 E. Passyunk Ave., opened Monday. To get the low down on the second venture from the Cheu Noodle Bar crew, I chatted with chef/owner Ben Puchowitz. SPR: Articulate what our readers can expect and what you’re going to be doing at Bing Bing. Ben: “Bing Bing is really, it’s like Cheu (Noodle Bar), a fun party almost. It’s a very lively atmosphere, there’s lots of cool stuff on the walls, lots of art, some funky weird stuff. One of the walls is filled with cartoon dumplings. Another wall is a mural of a Hong Kong scene, some really lively decor. In terms of the food, it’s authentic dumplings or dim sum turned upside down and made more for the American palate. Dim sum is mostly dumplings or small appetizers that are meant to share. There’s some different appetizers that are traditional at a dim sum restaurant that we kind of took and updated them a bit. We have a really awesome bar manager who came from Percy Street (Barbecue); his name is Max Sherman. He’s got these punches meant for a large party. They’re almost a gallon of punch for $30-$32. They’re super delicious.� SPR: How do you balance traditional approaches with the creative stuff you guys do? Ben: “If we are going to do something, it is a lot easier to do say a traditional dumpling or appetizer, but stopping there is really weird to me. Once we start thinking and get the base menu items down, we go from there. The turnip cake, once I figured how to make that good, I thought how can I make it different and use my background to riff on this appetizer.� SPR: Where do you find inspiration for some of these genre bending dishes? Ben: “If I am struggling, I always go to my Jewish background, so that’s how a lot of those flares come in. For that turnip cake, once I made that traditional style I thought this would be good with matzo meal, and it works perfectly. From there, pretty much all I eat, all the time is Asian food — dumplings, noodles, anything really. I get comfortable with those flavors, textures then once I get in the kitchen, I can imitate them or tweak them. ... My style really got started at Matyson, riffing on Asian food, and I am doing the same thing today.

SPR: It’s certainly a good canvas for some creative approaches that work for you. Ben: “We have tons of awesome Asian markets around Philadelphia that I can go to and just buy interesting produce then mess around with it. ... I am just lucky enough to have a restaurant where we can serve that food.� SPR: Were you looking to set up your second spot in this area from the get go, or did the option just present itself? Ben: “The building itself, when I first walked in, it was exciting. The triangle space on Passyunk [Avenue] creates a lot of interesting angles and space. It’s kind of the same way I cook — it's not square, not symmetrical, it's not a perfect box. If you walk down Passyunk, too, it's like that scene in Goodfellas when [Henry Hill] walks in the back of the restaurant. He goes through the whole kitchen, all the back hallways, and he finally gets to the restaurant, that one whole scene. It is kind of like that because you can see the whole operation (from the street). ... You can see the dumpling people in the back and in the front you can see part of the kitchen then by the time you get the corner you see the full dining room. That’s what we envisioned when we saw this place and it’s happening now.� SPR: How did you come up with your rendition of this essential dim sum dish? Ben: “The soup dumplings are the most traditional thing on this menu. I really didn’t stray away from the regular flavor where it's pork, scallion, ginger, then a very heavy chicken broth inside. We tried doing different ones, but it wasn’t really making any sense. So we went for the authentic flavor on that. It does come out inevitably a little different tasting. I think the broth comes out a little different, almost like a matzo ball soup broth. The wrapper took me years to figure out the exact recipe, and it’s something I still haven’t perfected yet. ... Then we had to figure out how to make a bunch every night. I am a huge soup dumpling fan, so I wouldn’t say they’re with the best soup dumplings in the world. I would say they’re about an 8.5 out of 10 and maybe about three months in, they’ll be closer to 10. We also have a jumbo soup dumpling I found in one of my books. It is the same dough, but it's filled with a shrimp and coconut broth, almost like a Thai or Vietnamese style soup. It’s steamed in a bowl so when you get it, it looks like this big dumpling with toppings, but when you go in there with chop sticks, it pops open to all the soup so you can eat it with a spoon.� +(* For more information, visit bingbingdmum.com.

ewfangled food has come to command kudos among many local residents, but what about when a craving for Old World delights strikes? Italian options will never fail, but Barbara Winters favors heading to the former Czechoslovakia in offering Halushki. The resident of the 2300 block of South Front Street noted her grandmother, who hailed from the dissolved Central European land, prepared this for relatives to “make our bellies full.� The Whitman inhabitant, whose mother went on to couple the creation with potato cakes, said duplicators of the dish can serve it with bread and butter or as a side item with meat, including ham for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

hef/proprietor Christopher Kearse has a will, but we aren’t just talking about his 28-seat East Passyunk

Crossing-based Will BYOB, 1911 E. Passyunk Ave. This will comes from the never-give-up mentality that he took on as a teenager following a tragic drunk driving accident that resulted in severe damage to his face and multiple surgeries. He spent several months in bed, and the simple abilities of eating solid foods and smelling ingredients weren’t so simple. Instead of giving up, the chefin-making started preparing meals for his large family, and eventually enrolled at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. The ultimate reward came in August 2012 when the now 30-year-old chef opened his establishment along South Philly’s bustling foodie row. “Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,� he said during a Tuesday afternoon conversation inside his eatery. “It’s pretty awe-

some. It’s a dream come true. I couldn’t ask for anything more.� Kearse, who has worked in kitchens from coast to coast as well as in London, could easily seek out a larger spot so that more customers could enjoy his Frenchinspired creations on a nightly basis, but he prefers the intimate atmosphere. So nights are about helping patrons celebrate special occasions while other are geared towards unique wine pairing dinners or special tasting menus. He is gearing up for the third annual East Passyunk Restaurant Week, which runs Sunday through Feb. 28. This time around, Kearse is opening on Monday and Tuesday night, days in which he is typically closed. His special three-course-for-$35 menu is being offered Monday through Thursday along with the 5 p.m. seating on Friday. For those trying

to land a table, good luck, as the East Passyunk Crossing resident said he is pretty much booked. He is anticipating close to 60 meals each night. The Pumpkin and Pear Soup (the actual recipe will appear with the online version of this story) is one of the dishes the chef believes will set the tone for a memorable evening. “I think the soup really sets the tone for the dinner,� he said. “It’s the philosophy how we do things. It’s a showcase dish, and lets people see what they’re walking into.� In his three years of operation,

Happy Birthday Baby! I Love You, Mom

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair, Perhaps you sent a lovely spray, if so we saw it there.

Thank you for your outpouring support during this very difficult time. The O'Malley Family

Come follow the Double Rainbows Mom They will bring you right to me. You should have known I’d never leave you Mom Without out something beautiful to see. I followed those Double Rainbows to my son, I was empty, tired, and heart broken, lost, angry and confused. As I drove in through those Rainbows I tried to push back the tears. While my mind searched through my memories, my heart thought of all the years, From your newborn face to your grown up worries and fears. Please don’t be angry with God mom, He took me by my hand, He never let me feel pain or suffer, The only thing that comforted me was the lighting and thunder. Something inside me told me, with every crack of thunder, this had to be a message from my son. My love, my wonder. Yes, it was me who sent the Rainbows mom, So all could see how beautiful it is in heaven, that I was happy and my soul was free.

pon huddling her charges following Friday’s 65-52 AAA semifinal loss to Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., Chris Donnelly let the ladies know they had given their all in helping The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., to register a remarkable campaign. “You have no reason to hang your heads low,� the coach, also the counselor at the Hawthorne-based facility, said. “You had a tremendous season, and I hope what you did encourages you to come back even better next year.� In her sixth season guiding the Griffins, the Northeast Philly inhabitant has had ample occasions to gush about the ballers, who entered the tilt 17-1, having two days earlier scored a 43-36 home win over Science Leadership Academy, the program’s first playoff triumph. Undefeated in Gold Division play, they relished the opportunity to upend another Platinum Division foe, with junior forward Jasmine “Sleepy� Sowell especially eager. “I’ve played with a few of their girls, so I know what they are capable of,� the Second-Team All-Public selection said. “We wanted to win because we felt ready coming in, but today wasn’t our day.� The resident of 29th and Reed streets added the gregarious Griffins clicked immediately when commencing their campaign. Donnelly, who tabbed the players as “fun, loose and a little goofy,� knew they would need to combine those qualities with a comprehensive game plan to blast past the Rockets. True to their name, though, the guests came fully fueled and immediately initiated an up-tempo pursuit of the ball. “They play like us, meaning they’re quick,� freshman guard Taylor Dawson, a First-Team All-League honoree said. “We didn’t have many looks, but we knew we were right in it.� The West Oak Lane standout did not deposit any baskets in the opening frame, but she snared four rebounds to complement three from Sowell, who tallied five points. Despite difficulties handling the Grays Ferry-based visitors’ press, which would play a huge role in producing Palumbo’s 37 turnovers, the hosts trailed only 14-7

after the first session. “We got where we were because we have pretty good communication skills and a great leader in coach Chris,� Dawson said of their overall slate. “We knew they were going to come in here focused.� The Griffins appeared to lack mental sharpness in the second quarter’s early sequences, with the Rockets soaring to a 12-point cushion. Stepping up their own ball-hounding tactics, though, the home club fought back, with Dawson, who desired even more touches following Sowell’s departure due to foul trouble, notching 10 points. Having never lessened their support as Audenried built its lead, fans, who would offer an even more reverent round of applause after the game, sent their heroes to the locker room with

thundering cheers for reducing the deficit to 30-26. “It was key to show that determination at the end,� Donnelly said. “They took on adversity and fought back. Just like over the whole season, it was great for me to see how much they care.� AN EXTREMELY YOUNG squad with only one senior, the Griffins displayed remarkable maturity the whole year, with numerous highlights, including the growth of sophomore point guard Kiarah “Rooster� Henry, a First-Team All-League pick, and junior center Ariana dos Santos, a Second-Team member, giving Donnelly her most satisfying bench stint yet. With only a nonleague loss to John W. Hallahan High School on its ledger before Friday, they indeed

*," -*",/at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php supported their leader’s notion that they achieved far more than what pundits had expected. Although the whole year offered signs of their skills, including their late December capturing of the Constitution Holiday Classic, Donnelly contends that Feb. 2’s 61-48 road win over Bartram, in which they outscored the Braves 19-4 in the fourth, proved very vital to their identity. “They’re so close to each other that they always love seeing how many assists they have,� she said with a laugh. “I have to get them to be a bit more selfish, which can be hard to do when they want to set one another up.� Their giving nature, especially that of Henry, who connected with Sowell for two crafty scores, keyed a comeback in the third. However, whenever momentum seemed theirs, the Griffins would watch the Rockets fire back. Dawson, though impressed with their opponents’ talent, vowed to fight back. “We just wanted to take the lead,� the sniper said. “We knew they would keep coming if we did, but we wanted to be in front.� They had three chances off offensive rebounds with the score knotted 40-40, but the rim proved unkind, and the guests gained their gumption back with a 10-1 run to close the quarter. Audenried used its interior abilities to muscle for buckets in the fourth and thanks to a full-team effort that included 27 points from Romeira Tucker, they played the road warriors and plot spoilers to end the Griffins’ year. “We lost to a stronger team,� Donnelly said, noting that conditioning will augment their rise to Platinum Division status next season. “This year, we pretty much played with house money, and I’m so proud of how they conducted themselves.� “We’re going to come back better and stronger,� Sowell, having wiped away tears following the realization their magical run had concluded, said. “We know how to play as a team, so next year will be even more fun.� Audenried faced Mastery North in yesterday’s AAA title game, which ended after press time.
