Two local schools are in line to receive grants for developing eco-conscious community programs. By Alexis Abate Review Contributor
E
ver since Mayor Michael Nutter introduced Greenworks Philadelphia in spring 2009, the city has been hailed as a top innovator of all things eco-friendly. Two local public schools plan to add green to their respective locations with positive environmental project proposals for the community at large to enjoy. Next month, Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St., and Chester A. Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., will be rewarded with grants in excess of $4,000. They’re two of only 15 schools to receive national recognition as part of Recyclebank’s Green Schools Program this spring. Both local institutions proposed plans to benefit their neighborhoods.

There are few phrases that tick me off more than “good enough for government work.” I find it demoralizing and self-defeating as a former state and federal employee. Those few words signify the dividing line in some of the public’s mind that private-sector employees are far superior to public employees. By Tom Cardella

An official mess
To the Editor: Frank Cavallaro should be applauded for stating the truth (“Lessons for Egypt,” Feb. 24). He has awoken the population of a sleeping giant. We witnessed President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemn the Egyptian government for unjust use of power over their people, a practice they each claim is unworthy in today’s world. They forgot that this unjust and unworthy practice they talked about is a practice used in this country everyday by unjust and unworthy people who hold public office. These two should not throw stones at other’s houses since these two live in a country now made of glass. To prove such unjust and unworthy use of public office, we need not venture out of our city or state. Our state’s last administration is probably the worst we have had up until now. It was filled with disgust, deceit and was unfulfilled in trust and honor. Its leader sold out the millions of citizens and hundreds of thousands of business owners. Its leader condemned the people of their natural-born rights. Its leader refused to allow democracy to take place in his state, yet this unworthy leader did show compassion with his love affair with the big money boys. He sold his power to them, which allowed them to gain higher financial rewards for themselves. His only philosophy was buy and sell, and he justly proved it to the people, as he sold us out so big money could buy more of what we had for ourselves. He and his administration were a disgrace. We have a mayor who is more infatuated with keeping his title than he is with keeping his word, pride and self-respect. He is a mayor who is only one-dimensional, which puts us in jeopardy of losing what we have left. Our City Council, six of them used their power of office to go bargain hunting at our expense. They all showed us that money can be made as long as they stay in office. They also taught us they put a high price tag on their necks, which they allow us to pay for. They took our Home Rule Charter and degraded it to fit their low form of intelligence by using only the home rule part of the charter to fit their level endurance. They use the home rule as a stepping stone for power, greed and control, which they use for their ver-
sion of American representation they need to control. They can’t accept the responsibility of being a complete American representative, allowing equal rights to flow amongst their people. They can’t allow anyone to question their leadership qualities, which are, by far, less than what they are worth to us. What amazes us the most about them is they will call themselves Americans. We ask, would one American citizen ever deny another American the right to use their constitutional right to democracy? A real American wouldn’t, but these Americans on City Council did. Why? Control. What we have in our state and city might not be as bad as Egypt or Libya, but their power of control is moving toward it. The main problem this country has is there are no real, true Americans representatives to say “We’re on it.” We need real people who will accept the responsibilities of government, as they are written out for them to use, those who will keep the trust, honor and respect of the people, those who won’t be bought out by big money, those who can’t be owned by anyone who will only answer to the people who put their trust and respect on the line for them. Today, we haven’t enough people we can trust. Today’s people in office are control freaks with no apparent conscience of reality or those who are in office to make a fast buck or two. These are the ones who will sell their own kids for $1. Many today in office are bought and paid for. Big money owns their votes, decisions and conscience, All we can say is Mr. Cavallaro brought out the truth of this country’s so-called American representatives. We are most grateful he did. Now it’s up to we the people to do something about it or else we really have to ask God to bless us right after he blesses America. Patrick Dio, Sr. South Philadelphia
Entitlements To the Editor: Mr. Cavallaro’s (“Lessons for Egypt,” Feb. 24) statement: “You cannot take entitlement from the people who have lost their jobs that
the government and rich Republicans caused in the first place,” is the most ridiculous statement I’ve ever heard. Are there no rich Democrats? The government is full of them. The last two years of George Bush’s term and the first two years of our current president have been run solely by the Democratic Party. It’s a fact that people seem to overlook rather easily. Do you think our senators and representatives from both parties really care about the middle class and the poor? They care about being voted into office. I’m a Republican by registration and I’m not rich. My party choice is based more on moral issues than economic issues, but that being said, I don’t want to foot the bill with entitlements for illegal aliens and other programs that have gotten out of hand. I’m tired of being in line at the market watching someone take out their food stamp card only to leave in a Cadillac Escalade. They can find money for liquor and cigarettes as well because the system is broke and permits this. Who do you think is paying for this? Our current president doesn’t seem to think this is enough. He wants more entitlements and more of our tax money. If you haven’t noticed our cost of living is jumping in leaps and bounds as he continues to spend recklessly. Wait until gas goes to $4 a gallon. I guess it will be the fault of George W. Bush. The middle class bears the brunt of this while more than 40 percent of people don’t even pay taxes. Entitlements only encourage laziness. I applaud any rich person who became rich by hard work and determination. They deserve to keep their money and pay fair taxes just as anyone else does who earns it honestly. Remember that the so-called rich in this country also employ millions of people. We need to get rid of both parties and start the Common Sense Party, something that our politically correct country has sorely forgotten. Let’s give entitlements to those who really need them: The handicapped, injured, etc., not the lazy and those who know how to beat the system.

name for him: Capt. Peter Roadrage, since he has a Boston accent similar to Peter from the show “The Family Guy.� The Roadrage part is self-explanatory. I’ve heard him chat with other passengers — I’m too busy reading the paper and trying to ignore him — about how he used to serve as a facilities manager for 19 years. I thought to myself, what the heck are you doing here, then? Judgmental, I told you. He must have wanted a cushier job. Judgmental, once again. It wasn’t until I boarded the bus one morning that Peter took on a new personality. I was the only one on the shuttle, so he opened up about his twin sons, one of whom is getting married soon; the church he attends frequently; and his former job, which he wished he still had. You see, Peter was laid off two years ago —brought into his boss’ office one day, didn’t see it coming, a devastated victim of the recession. He spent months looking for a similar position, but no luck. After sending out 700 applications, he decided to look elsewhere. He practically hounded the shuttle service company to hire him ... SPR

have the tendency to judge. Not one of my finest personality traits, I’ll admit, but at least I can own up to the fact that I size up people after meeting them only once. Only recently did I discover the problems with pigeonholing. A few days a week, I take a shuttle bus from the subway to my work’s office park. The driver — a portly, prickly, man with glasses and a gray bouffant that’s always well kempt — sometimes grumbles a “hello� when boarding, but more frequently yells at the drivers who continually scorn him.

26-year-old man became the victim of an unplanned shooting Saturday. At 3:18 p.m., police found the man in the basement of a home on the 1500 block of South 31st Street. Sporting a single gunshot wound to the stomach, he lay on the floor, with his brother, Kevin Jones, aka Kenneth Jones, 24, of the same block, in the rear of the space. Finding ballistic evidence, police asked for details, to which the siblings responded they did not know what had occurred, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Following the transport of the wounded man to The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for surgery and Jones for questioning, authorities combed the area and located an unloaded, field emission semi-automatic assault rifle under a parked abandoned vehicle at the property’s rear. Inquiries revealed a relative heard a bang while the men were in the basement and followed their advice to call for assistance, Tolliver said. Waiving his constitutional rights, Jones, the weapon’s believed owner, allegedly stated he accidentally shot his brother while attempting to remove the gun from him, Tolliver said. It is unknown what the two were doing with the firearm. He allegedly admitted he had hid it outside prior to the law enforcement officials’ arrival. SWAT cleared the weapon and Jones was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, tampering with evidence and two firearms violations.
Eye can’t stand it A South of South robbery and assault left a man short on money, technology and glasses Feb. 24. A 27-year-old male notified police at 9:35 p.m. that two unknown men approached him as he was walking southbound on the 800 block of South 22nd Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the offenders used a closed fist to strike the man in the right eye. The force broke his spectacles and caused a cut below his eye. The men took his wallet, which contained $62, numerous credit cards and identification, cell phone and iPod, upping the estimated value of the stolen items to
$500. The offenders fled westbound on Catharine Street, Tolliver said. Medic 14, 1200 S. 20th St., transported him to Pennsylvania Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition with multiple fractures to the right side of his face. One of the suspects was described as black, in his 20s, 5-foot-11 to 6 foot, with a thin build and wearing a red sweatshirt and dark jeans. No information is available on the second man. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Tech-savvy thief A Girard Estate phone store became the target of a robbery Feb. 23. Police ventured to the T-Mobile store, 2201 Oregon Ave., at 10:29 a.m., finding two employees and a customer. The first employee, a 30-year-old man, revealed a male entered and inquired about purchasing a notebook computer and a phone, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. With his hand in his pocket, the man came around the counter after the employee had returned with the items. He placed something against the worker’s side, saying “Do you feel that?” The representative emptied his register as instructed, putting the money and requested items into a bag. The second employee, a 22-year-old man, emptied his register, too, adding that holder’s money to the suspect’s bag, which contained about $350 now. A 35-year-old customer entered the scene dropping to the ground when the offender, now with a semi-automatic gun in hand, stated, “Get on the ground, old head, this is a robbery.” Taking the potential buyer’s cell phone, the gun-wielder fled on foot out of the store, soon reaching the passenger side of a goldor gray-colored Honda Passport SUV containing a rear tire rack with no tire, which left the area through the ShopRite parking lot, after which it traveled west over the Passyunk Avenue Bridge. The suspect was described as a black man with a dark complexion, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot10, having a stocky build, 180 to 210 pounds and wearing baggy clothing, including tan pants, a dark-colored hooded jacket and a dark-colored scarf covering his face.

NAVY YARD continued from page 1 velopment, said. Possessing a 171-year history in Philadelphia, Glaxo inked a 15.5-year lease to inhabit a four-story, 205,000-square-foot building at 5 Crescent Drive. Two entities highly familiar with The Navy Yard will oversee the composition, with New York City’s Robert A.M. Stern Architects handling the design and Malvern-based Liberty Property Trust completing the construction. Stern Architects and Liberty collaborated with PIDC in 2004 to author The Navy Yard’s master plan, which divided the area into sections. PIDC mainly works with existing structures in the 167-acre Historic Core but will welcome Glaxo, the world’s second largest pharmaceutical company by revenue, into its 70-acre Corporate Center. The $81-million project will shift 1,300 employees from two Center City offices to the new locale. With construction beginning in late summer, the workers will begin their exodus during next year’s fourth quarter, finishing their trek to the new site by the end of ‘13’s first quarter. Once there, they will continue to market the company’s successful products, among them Aquafresh, Nicorette, Paxil and Zantac. Glaxo is entrusting Liberty to craft a design that will garner the facility Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, the sustainable, or “green,” building ratings system’s highest designation. Its lease with Massachusetts-based HRPT Property Trust for nearly 650,000 square feet would have expired in March ’13, with another from Liberty for 220,000 square feet due to have run out the following year, so Glaxo had been seeking other options. Stern Architects will give the building an open plan design, a concept that uses large, open spaces to enhance employee interaction. The building will contain meeting areas, quiet rooms, shared work stations, social areas and team tables, Glaxo spokeswoman Jennifer Armstrong said. Amenities will include free parking for employees and visitors, a fitness center, a restaurant and retail services. “It would have been difficult and expensive to refurbish (Center City’s) Franklin Plaza into the open plan and green environment we were seeking,” Armstrong said. “The Navy Yard was the best fit for us and the most cost-effective option of a number of opportunities that were investigated in depth.” “Glaxo’s move is a new tangent of what we are trying to do down here,” Agate said of PIDC’s looking to assist the City’s credibility as a business location by concentrating on sciences, technology and innovation. “This announcement helps us in

king The Navy Yard a regional hub making hub.”” THE GLAXO NEWS owes part of its existence to Urban Outfitters, as Glaxo Chief Executive Officer Andrew Witty ventured from London to visit the manufacturer’s headquarters, 5000 S. Broad St., in December, finding the Historic Core location proper inspiration for his company to become its neighbor. Since its October ’06 Navy Yard opening, Urban Outfitters has used its six buildings to market its hip apparel. The company formed in Philadelphia in 1970 and runs stores in eight countries, operating four retail brands. Already employing 1,200 workers at its corporate headquarters, the company, which reported $1.94 billion in revenue last year, will invest about $30 million in its expansion, which will add more than 100,000 square feet. The acquisition of the structures, Building 3, formerly The Navy Yard Cruise Ship Terminal, and Building 4, allows the company to make partial use of an option it earned through its 2004 consolidation. when the City and the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (PAID) permitted Urban Outfitters, which had various Center City spots, to obtain five additional buildings around its campus.
The company will spend $18 to $20 mil million on renovations and infrastructure investments for Building 3 and will use the other funds to renovate nearby Building 4 by next February, according to published reports. Its rapid success led the Delaware River Port Authority, with PAID’s approval, to terminate the Building 3 lease in January, seven years before its expiration. The termination enabled Urban Outfitters, whose six buildings total 282,000 square feet, to expand immediately. Over the next three years, the corporation can grow even more by investing approximately $50 million to acquire three other locations. Glaxo’s strategy and Urban Outfitters’ ambition please Mayor Michael Nutter who offered comments on the former at City Hall and reflections on the latter on site. “Premier corporations like GlaxoSmithKline recognize that Philadelphia offers educational, infrastructure and cultural assets that make our city a prime location for business. The Navy Yard Corporate Center is an attractive location where we not only provide businesses with the opportunity to grow, but we actively support it,” he said in a statement. “This expansion is one of the most important business expansion announcements of my administration,” he added
o Urban Outfitters’ latest stroke. “It emon pphasizes that Philadelphia has a dynamic economy and is attracting new jobs.” City Council President Anna Verna, whose 2nd District includes The Navy Yard, lauded the announcements’ effect on families and the local economy. “Together, they bring 2,300 family-sustaining jobs to our people and millions of dollars in new investment to our community,” she said at the Urban Outfitters’ site. “At a time of great challenge for many businesses in our country, Urban Outfitters is a true success story. Much like our own Navy Yard, Urban Outfitters has not only met the challenge head-on, but has found a way to thrive through innovation and determination.” Agate, who last month celebrated his first year with the 43-year-old nonprofit, shared Verna’s joy. “The Navy Yard has a collaborative nature that helps us in securing renowned tenants,” he said, seeing the announcements as “the light at the end of the tunnel in PIDC’s plan to employ more than 10,000 dedicated workers.” “The Navy Yard is poised to expand its role as a catalyst for the region.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

GREEN SCHOOLS continued from page 1
Each school choose to focus on one of four categories including land beautification and cultivation; recycling education and practice; natural resource preservation and management; or eco-conscious food supply and waste management. But the team at Jackson came up with a new idea: Green economics and sustaining a 2,800-square-foot rooftop garden filled with seasonal vegetables native to the children’s various cultures and homes. With 28 cultures and nine languages, the concept stays true to Jackson’s mission of coming together and embracing differences. “It’s a whole school method because Jackson is a very diverse community,” Principal Lisa Ciaranca-Kaplan said. The first of many projects on the horizon, the garden acts as an impetus for future eco-conscious initiatives. “We’re celebrating our diversity and trying to engage the community more into Jackson being at the heart of the [neighborhood] so the garden is also an instructional piece connected to the science curriculum,” Ciaranca-Kaplan said. “We have one of the highest percentages of recycling
in the city in our catchment area so we want to continue to bank on that and expand it.” Since obtaining the recycling points needed, the space will become a classroom of its own creating eco-conscious citizens, Principal Intern Mary Beth Bongiovanni said. The children are expected to observe habits within their own neighborhoods to cultivate ideas and implement change in their homes and communities. “We want them to learn what happens when the pipes in this neighborhood in particular get flooded, what happens when the water that’s gushing is going over filth and toxic waste,” Bongiovanni, a resident of the 1500 block of South 12th Street, said. Although mostly fifth and sixth graders will be included in the curriculum set in place by the Philadelphia Water Department, all 350 students will use the space whether through a symposium on sustainable energy or a green project relative to the developing ecosystem of the rooftop garden. Since her first meeting with 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco and Councilman at Large James Kenney when she learned about this opportunity, CiarancaKaplan has been determined to make

News this a community effort. Organizations such as the Passyunk Square Civic Association, Columbus Square Advisory Council, the Philadelphia Water Department’s Office of Watersheds and local businesses have become integral partners with Jackson in volunteering and lending their support, expertise and supplies, but Jackson still needs donations of 10 32-gallon containers and 30 buckets for in-classroom recycling. Bongiovanni encourages residents to join and become a slice of the green economy at Jackson, a neighborhood registration site for Recyclebank. “Your funds, your people funds and people power are the sustainable piece and are the connections that really help it grow,” she said. THE PRIVATELY-OWNED RECYCLEBANK was the engine behind Philadelphia’s recycling rewards program where residents sign up, earn points and receive incentives, Christine Knapp, Passyunk Square Civic Association president, said. Collection trucks, fitted with E-Zpass technology, read stickers on residents’ blue bins. “You earn points for participating in recycling, reducing trash and for having less overall waste,” Knapp said. “There’s
a formula based on how many people in your neighborhood are participating so a certain number of points are allotted to you each week.” The more a select community recycles, the more points they receive to use toward

discounts at retail giants such as Sears and Bed Bath & Beyond, magazine subscriptions, restaurant gift cards and more. If individuals aren’t interested in using points for discounts, they can donate them to specific institutions accepted into the Green Schools program. Each school receives $10 for every 100 points contributed. The grant application process included an environmental plan, a 600-word essay detailing a green initiative, as well as gathering community points and signatures from recycling neighbors. Although the latter isn’t a requirement, it’s suggest-
Neighborhood Association program coordinator Andrew Dalzell, she can now check off a few of those bullet points. Arthur recently reached its Recyclebank point goal —– within less than a week’s time — and was awarded a $4,500 grant. SOSNA agreed to chip in the remaining $500 of the $5,000 requested. King, Dalzell and eighth-grade science teacher Michael Franklin plan on using the funds to transform the vacant spots into a vegetable, Pennsylvania native plant, and butterfly and insect garden. “We want to really get back to nature and
show children how to cook and eat a nutritious meal on top of growing it — from the cradle to the table,” King said about the importance of the vegetable garden. Focused on the multi-purpose function of these spaces for the community, she already started working with a local chef and partnering with companies such as ShopRite to enhance the project’s development. “We have a lot of people who are interested in trying to help us take this school to the next level,” King said. The gardens will be incorporated into Franklin’s coursework while helping students become more connected. “The vast majority [of students] realize this is helping the neighborhood they live in,” Franklin, a resident of 17th and Reed streets, said. Both Jackson and Arthur’s renewed interest in sustaining the environment where they are located has already started to make an impact. “The kids don’t have much exposure to this, but the tools are there now,” Dalzell said. “It’s a great opportunity and the key is to make it last for many generations of students.” SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news.

Trying his hand at politics Formerly employed by the current City Council president, an area lawyer vies for her seat in the May primary.
A
resident of the 3100 block of South Broad Street near the sports complex, Richard DeMarco has experience working for the people of the 2nd Council District. For the past 18 years, the Lafayette College and Villanova University Law School grad has offered his talents as a lawyer pro bono for community groups and residents, and served as an aide and attorney for outgoing Council President Anna Verna for six years in the late 1990s. Leaving the latter post in 2000, the native of the 1500 block of South Broad Street joined Fineman & Bach (now Fineman, Krekstein and Harris) before practicing zoning and land use law at Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP. In ’07, he was appointed to the Philadelphia Zoning Code Commission where he aided in the reformation and rewriting process of the city’s code. The son of the late James J. DeMarco and Linda Acchione DeMarco is married to Jennifer Noreen DeMarco. The
couple has two children, Gabriel, 4, and Isabella, 2. DeMarco, 43, is a member of the Justinian Society Board of Directors, Philadelphia Bar Association, the Philadelphia Lawyers’ Club and the Pennsylvania Society.
SPR: What made you decide to run for the 2nd District seat? DeMarco: There are a lot of people who talk about bringing real change to Philadelphia and City Council. But in the end it always just ends up being talk. I am tired of the politics as usual. I have always fought for residents of this district and I am in an unique position to deliver results.

After dancing in Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan,” a local couple takes on the principal roles in the Pennsylvania Ballet’s upcoming production.
By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
L
auren Fadeley and Francis Veyette, of the 700 block of South Marvine Street, were paired years ago as dancers for the Pennsylvania Ballet. They met, fell in love and were engaged a year ago. “It was my first year in the company and he’d been in the company for awhile,” Fadeley, 25, said. “It was a three-minute piece and they put me with Francis. We were rehearsing together all day and fell in love and it’s been fun pretty much ever since. Then we haven’t gotten to dance together again.” Instead, the two are dancing the principals in Tchaikovsky’s classical “Swan Lake,” separately.

“My fiancé is doing it with one of the soloist. We are going through the experience together, just not dancing together,” Fadeley, who is dancing Odette/Odile in the evening performances, while Veyette will do his best Prince interpretation for the matinee crowds, said. “It’s fun because we are in rehearsal all day long together.” Opening at the Academy of Music today, this is the third time the Pennsylvania Ballet has put on “Swan Lake,” and Fadeley will be taking the stage with the original dancer it was choreographed for by Christopher Wheeldon. For Veyette, an 11-year vet of the troupe, this is his second time in the Philadelphia version of the piece. “Yes, absolutely, this is a very demanding role, in a rather interesting way. This is a full-length classical ballet. These are the steps we’ve
Lifestyles been taught to do since we’ve been taking dance, and as a partner since the time you start learning partnering,” Veyette, 30, said. “It’s very straightforward, but on the other hand there is a huge difference between doing it and doing it well.” The production comes on the heels of this year’s wildly popular “Black Swan,” whose leading actress, Natalie Portman, nabbed a Best Actress win at Sunday’s Oscars. While the movie has drummed up excitement about the PA Ballet’s performances, it was put on the company’s schedule before the film began production. Interestingly, the performers are connected to the film in a much deeper way. “I find I like it better than most of the full-length classical ballets … it’s always fascinated me and then I was in ‘Black Swan’ the movie as one of the extras in it,” Fadeley, who spent three weeks in January 2010 shooting the film at SUNY-Purchase in New York with other members of the company, said. “I’ve been on a ‘Swan Lake’ kick for a while now. It’s fun to be actually playing that part.” IN A CASE of life imitating art Fadeley is a core dancer who was plucked — due to several pregnant principals — for the chance to dance the lead. “I am definitely nervous for the whole
‘I mean, we help each other as best we can. We give each other notes and moral support. It’s nice when either one of us gets frustrated to have the other one there to calm us down.’ — Francis Veyette scale of it, the stamina. It’s not just going out and doing your one part, it’s four acts of different parts and different characters,” Fadeley said. “It’s just funny because when I first found out I was doing this, I was the living ‘Black Swan’ — a young core dancers planning to be this part. They call me Nina and stuff.” The real “Nina,” or at least the actress who portrayed her, Portman, was a dedicated participant in filming, attending warm-up classes with Fadeley and all the extras every morning. Now that rehearsal for the live version is in full-swing Veyette and Fadeley are gearing up for their debut. “I mean, we help each other as best we can. We give each other notes and moral support. It’s nice when either one of us gets frustrated to have the other one there to calm us down,” Veyette, whose brother is a principal in the New York City Ballet, said. The couple is a transplant to the area, having lived in their Hawthorne home for two years. Fadeley, a Florida native, found
her way to Philadelphia four years ago after studying ballet and kinesiology at Indiana University. Veyette, who joined the PA Ballet at age 17, left in ’05 to dance in Kansas before returning in ’07 to his original company. “We love our home. We are so close to the grocery store and Whole Foods. Everybody on our block knows each other,” Veyette, who is originally from California, said. “We are close to parks and stuff like that. We have a 160-pound mastiff and we get to walk him all over the place. We are close to the Italian Market. We love the neighborhood.” One drawback of their new city is the distance from family, with Veyette’s kin unable to attend “Swan Lake,” due to two planned trips for Veyette and Fadeley’s wedding along with his brother Andrew Veyette and Megan Fairchild’s nuptials in the same year. Fadeley’s family, however, will be jetting in from Florida for their daughter’s debut.
“My mom said, ‘This is what you’ve been dreaming of since you were a little girl.’ I am really excited they are going to be there,” Fadeley, who had trouble reserving tickets for her family due to high demand, said. “No mater what happens, they will be proud and happy for me. Even if I fall on my face, my parents will still love it.” In addition to mom, dad and brother, there will be another fan at each performance. “I won’t miss a show of hers and she won’t miss mine either,” Veyette said. Long rehearsals and encouraging words are all the couple is thinking of leading up to opening night. Later this year, NYC Ballet and “Black Swan” choreographer Benjamin Millepied — also Portman’s fiancé — will be coming to town to put together a piece for the company. Perhaps the couple will get lucky again. “She and I love dancing together. Any chance we ever get in the future would be more than welcome,” Veyette said. “When we are in rehearsals together on a break, if we have questions, we ask each other. Then, we’ll dance together. I would definitely like to do more in the future.” SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news/ lifestyles.

Lost in Nevada’s badlands, pet chameleon Rango (voice of Johnny Depp) becomes a critter town’s hero after taking on a water-happy tyrant.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
S
et in a Tex-Mex tumbleweed town in urgent need of a hero to solve its dwindling-resource crisis, the golden CGI nugget “Rango” handily nails western-movie nostalgia and modern-day resonance in one swell swoop. It’s a gun-slinging family flick for the saloon-foreclosure era. But that’s just gravy on top of the film’s staggeringly welldesigned visuals. One of the most aesthetically assured computer-animated movies to ever be built outside the walls of Pixar, the whole scaly, sand-blasted feast has the tactility of pixel-free goodies like “Fantastic Mr. Fox” and “Where the Wild Things Are” (both of which it echoes in theme and story), and each spectacular, inventive action sequence is better than the last. The first is a beautiful bit that unfolds on a desert highway, where Rango (voice of Johnny Depp), a pet chameleon, is hurled from a hatchback window when his owners hit an armadillo. To the tune of a symphony, his terrarium shatters on the blacktop, and with thrilling velocity he slides on a shard of glass toward his destiny, which lies just over yonder in the reptile-, rodent- and bird-inhabited town of Dirt. There, the scrawny, bug-eyed, zigzag-necked newcomer spins a bogus origins yarn that tickles the townsfolk, who name him sheriff so that he may help restore their all-but-dried-up water supply. To rousing effect, he also tangles with a hawk, a rattler and a whole battalion of bat-riding mole-rats. Expect the usual rise-and-fall-andrise-again path of the haphazard underdog hero, but don’t expect the fatigue
that plagued Depp’s and director Gore Verbinski’s partnership in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequels. Despite such odd choices as resurrecting the same whiteout hallucinations that befell Jack Sparrow, Verbinksi is working in peak form, keenly guiding a spurred riff on “Chinatown,” complete with a John Huston villain. The movie begins with Rango, an aspiring thespian, staging his cinematic fantasies while still encased in his domestic prison. How exciting for him and for us that his trek into the great wide open is downright fantastic.

A swashbuckling good time
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I March 3, 2011
here are few phrases that tick me off more than “good enough for government work.” I find it demoralizing and self-defeating as a former state and federal employee. Those few words signify the dividing line in some of the public’s mind that private-sector employees are far superior to public employees. I don’t believe it. Never will. Unfortunately, that bogus idea has even seeped into the minds of some public employees. You hear those damned words repeated often enough and it happens. “Good enough for government work” is the mind-set of an entire political party in America today. It explains what is happening in Wisconsin and all across this country. It explains why the Republican/Tea Party is getting away with using public employees as a scapegoat for this nation’s budget woes. First, let me address this crap about public employee inferiority in performance and alleged superiority in pay because that’s what is at the heart of this matter. I have gotten drawn into arguments about so-called government drones a good part of my employment life. I have seen the good and the bad, witnessed the cowardice and courage, and the mediocrity and creativity in both the public and private sectors. Neither has a monopoly on worker bees or drones. I have seen brilliant executives and dunces among both public and private sector executives. The phrase “good enough for government work” also implies that government jobs are just not as important as those in private industry. Years ago, the guys in my Air Force Reserve unit looked down their nose at me because I was a “government worker.” One such critic ran a beer distributorship, which he inherited from his father. Another sold typewriters (yeah, it was long ago). Nothing wrong with those occupations, but how important were they compared to the one where I purchased spare parts for the military, the lack of which could ground one of our fighter planes or keep a battleship mired in port? Think about which sector really caused our problems? Was it public employees whose unions have finally gotten them approximate pay comparability with private
industry? Was it really the folks making $40,000 to $75,000 a year — these socalled bureaucrats who educate our kids, keep our soldiers safe, and are responsible for the safety of our food and the environment? Here’s just a partial list of some of those titans of private industry who have sucked us dry: Haliburton; Blackwater (now Xe); Citibank; Lehman Brothers; Bank of America; Enron; AIG; Goldman Sachs; all the health insurance companies; Walmart. To quote my friend, Ed Goldman, on the havoc that many of these corporations have wreaked upon us ... “fraud and incompetence on a massive level that ruined world economies, your 401Ks, cost us jobs in the millions, denied us access to health care, moved jobs overseas, all in the name of making an extra buck ...” The assault on public employees is not just happening in Wisconsin, but let me start there. Gov. Scott Walker came into office with a budget surplus, implemented tax breaks for business causing a deficit and is now using that deficit to try to destroy the public unions in his state who coincidentally happened to oppose his election. Despite the raw deal, the public employee unions have offered to increase payments toward their pensions and to start paying a portion of their health care. Walker refuses to negotiate because his real purpose isn’t to fix the deficit, but to destroy the unions. Republican governors from Indiana to New Jersey are joining in the union-busting frolic. Republicans in Washington moan about the budget deficit, but under the threat of filibuster pressured the administration into extending tax cuts for the wealthy that increased the deficit. Those same Republicans are trying to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act because they say we can’t afford it, but the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office tells us that if the repeal is successful, it will cost us $210 billion more in health care over the next decade. This isn’t about budget deficits; it’s about political ideology. Destroy the unions that are the only counterbalance to big business money that goes mostly toward electing Republicans. It was not public employee unions that caused our economic crisis, but the Bush Administration that gave us two ruinous wars and cut taxes twice. Add another trillion dollars in deficits Bush gave us in the unfunded Medicare drug plan giveaway to Big Pharma. It was the corruption and greed on Wall Street where their CEOs are still being rewarded with huge bonuses funded by taxpayer bailouts. And that is not good enough for them. When they speak, hold on to your middleclass wallets. Instead of going after the ones who caused the deficits, they’re going after the ones who didn’t. SPR

U
nless you’re a vegetarian or vegan, it’s very difficult getting through a week without eating at least one piece of chicken. Think about it: There’s chicken salad, soup, sandwiches and an endless array of Italian classics. Instead of making a plain old breast, thigh or wing, try preparing a poultry dish with flavor. Teresa Maiellano’s Mushroom Chicken Fricassee meets this challenge. The resident of the 1500 block of Forrestal Street uses onion, garlic and other seasonings to make that first bite one to remember. Add in some edamame, and even the meat-free eaters might try to sneak a taste. SPR
Philly
Teresa’s Mushroom Chicken Fricassee INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons of canola oil 1 large red onion, cut into four thick slices 1 tablespoon of garlic, minced 1 pound of mushrooms, cut into thick slices Salt and pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons of tarragon, minced 2 cups of canned whole tomatoes 1 cup of shelled edamame 2 pounds of chicken legs and thighs
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and combine the oil, onion, garlic and mushrooms, and cook until lightly brown, about two minutes. Add the salt, pepper, tarragon, tomatoes and edamame. e over Pour the mixture the chicken and bake until the poultry is cooked through, for s. about 25 minutes.

gonzola vinaigrette. A Cobb salad is usually a composed one with ingredients lined up in rows. This one was tossed, but who cares? It was tasty, each ingredient immaculately fresh and colorful. Carl had to finish it. One of the specials was smoked salmon eggs Benedict ($11). Poached eggs can be tricky. When properly done, the white is firm but not hard and the yolks must run once you cut into them. On a scale of one to 10, these were an eight. His lunch came with crisp, piping hot french fries. All they required was a sprinkling of salt. Service on both occasions was attentive. The noise level on Sunday was so horrendous, I left with a headache. The decibel level on weekdays, however, is much better. Green Eggs Café which closes at 4
p.m. daily, is a marvelous addition to South Philadelphia. There were so very few lunch and brunch restaurants in this neck of the woods 10 years ago. I did not know there’s another location in Northern Liberties. I’ve got to try it, but not on a Sunday. Two-and-a-half tips of the toque to Green Eggs Café. SPR

peppers and crisp bacon married with a sun-dried-tomato spread. I thought the sandwich could have been a bit thicker, but it was delicious nonetheless. Edward’s cheddar three egg omelet ($8) was disappointing. The folded-over eggs were overcooked and a bit brown. Some cheddar was strewn over the top, barely melted. The mix of rosemary potatoes with sweet peppers was tasty and a welcome change from french fries or home fries. La Colombe coffee ($2) is served at Green Eggs Café. Some of you may be curious about the whereabouts of Cousin Carl, the world traveler. He lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., part of the year but comes north whenever the fancy to board a plane strikes him. Before a shopping trip to IKEA, we lunched at Green Eggs Café. There was no wait for a table on a weekday afternoon. Iced tea ($2) was a bit on the weak side, but Carl misses La Colombe coffee down south. He downed two cups. My Cobb salad ($7) was so large a man sitting next to us bet his wife $10 that I would not finish it. He won the bet. The salad was bursting with fresh mixed greens, slices of juicy grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon lardons (French for small slices), a sliced hard-boiled egg, avocado salsa which sat in the center of the salad, sweet cherry tomatoes and crumbled Gorgonzola topped in a Gor-

here’s a plethora of beloved books in the world of children’s literature. My favorites include anything written by Maurice Sendak, “The Polar Express,” “Little Women,” “Goodnight Moon” and, of course, “The Cat in the Hat” series written by Dr. Seuss. You can make green eggs and ham by simply adding a creamy purée of spinach to poached eggs. During Sunday brunch at Green Eggs Café, I wondered why the cooks at this charming, but extremely noisy, cash-only BYOB restaurant did not list this on the menu. Edward and I were told there would be a 20-minute wait. This fared well with me. We went next door to Ipolitto’s and enjoyed a good browse at the fresh fish counter. Green Eggs Café has a waiting area which will soon be used for an expansion. There’s a small counter in the back of the front room, a fireplace and a flat-screen TV tuned to The Food Network. Tables are light wood set with linen napkins. Three tips of the toque to this fine practice. I detest flimsy paper napkins. Grilled cheese and tomato soup are comfort foods of my childhood. In my house, it was usually Campbell’s condensed all the way. At Green Eggs Café, the tomato soup ($8.50) is rich and homemade brimming with small pieces of tomato and seasoned just right. The serving was most generous. Grilled, not-at-all-sweet brioche was layered with smoked Gouda, provolone, cheddar, tart pickled jalapeno

An executive chef from a Philadelphia culinary landmark offers tips on delicacy. It’s like getting a taste of Europe without having the worries of boarding a plane.
T
he theme for this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show is “Springtime in Paris.” Many songs have been written about The City of Light including “April in Paris,” and “I Love Paris,” where the first line is “I love Paris in the springtime.” I’ve only visited Paris in the autumn. The next best thing will be visiting the Philadelphia Flower Show March 6 through 13 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. I invited executive chef Nicholas Elmi of Le Bec-Fin to cook with me in my kitchen. The 30-year-old Boston native has been with chef Georges Perrier since the now-shuttered Brasserie Perrier days. “The Flower Show is about Paris and spring, which is fine because we are all tired of cooking root vegetables,” he said over the telephone. We met a few days later. “I want to learn how to butcher a rabbit,” I said. “I’ve never cooked rabbit, but now is the time to do so.” Elmi arrived armed with his own equipment even though I told him I have a fully-equipped kitchen. “Rabbits weigh between 2 1/2 and 4 pounds,” Elmi said as he placed one on my cutting board. “When I was at the Culinary Institute of America, I took a class in butchering. The teacher was a German butcher who owned a sausage shop in New York City. He wore a sheaf of knives running down his left leg like swords.” As Elmi boned the saddle of rabbit and carefully removed the rack with bones attached I noticed butchering also is done by feel and the chef must know the anatomy of each animal. “The boned saddle will be stuffed with shrimp mousse, rolled up and wrapped in caulfat. I then wrap it in plastic wrap and simmer in a pot of water,” he said. “The rack is simply sautéed in butter.” Elmi agrees with the Italian expression “first you eat with your eyes.” “You must plate with a purpose,” he said. “Everything on the plate has a reason. We pay great attention to detail at Le BecFin because food must also be eye-appealing.” Elmi’s recipe for saddle of rabbit stuffed with shrimp mousse
■ Mustardy Rabbit Pot ■ (Lapin en cocotte a la moutarde)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup of Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste 1 2-1/2-pound rabbit, cut into 8 pieces by the butcher 1 cup of chicken broth 4 sprigs of fresh thyme 1/2 cup of dry white wine 1 cup of crème fraiche
Directions: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Mix the mustard with 1 tablespoon of the oil, two pinches of the salt and one pinch of the pepper. Brush both sides of each piece of the rabbit with the mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven. Lay the pieces of rabbit in a single layer in the pot and put the pot in the oven, uncovered. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring after five minutes. Add the broth and thyme. Cover and cook for 50 minutes, stirring and basting every 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven. Remove the rabbit to a dish and discard the thyme. Put the pot over high heat, add the wine and scrape up the cooked-on juices with a spatula. Turn the heat to medium and cook for at least 15 minutes, stirring regularly. The sauce should become thick and smooth, but should not stick to the pot. Stir in the crème fraiche and simmer for five minutes. Taste for salt and pepper. If you like, you can also stir in another tablespoon of the mustard. Serve the rabbit with the sauce. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: You can substitute a cut up chicken for the rabbit in this recipe. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/features.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): You may find out you need more experience in a certain area of your job. Try to be a little more detached about the situation; look into classes or the necessary training. Lucky number: 436. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Learning with others makes the journey nicer. A class or talk could connect you with like-minded people. An attractive stranger may catch your attention. Lucky number: 369. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Someone else may be chosen for the leadership position you targeted. Focus on individual projects; there may be other avenues to get what you want. Lucky number: 892. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Personal values may come up against those in a certain clique. You may feel compelled to keep views and beliefs quiet. Ask yourself if you really want to suppress who you are in order to be accepted. Lucky number: 298. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): Take advantage of opportunities to attend a group event with friends. Your understanding and amiable ways make you a popular participant. Lucky number: 917. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Disclose a secret to benefit professional aspirations. It’s a relief to let it out and discover that this information amuses people. Lucky number: 506.

ROCKY
Hiya! I’m Rocky G, an 8 year old Corgi mix. If I were a human, I’d be Walter Matthau’s character, Max in the movie “Grumpy Old Men”! I’m slightly curmudgeonly but oh-solovable! I am sweet and really like being around people. I don’t mind dogs, I just like dogs that are low energy like me! I could do without cats as well, but just because they have those running fits where they act all nutty and have to jump on and off furniture and stuff! Everyone knows a proper pet should be one who likes going for walks, likes a good meal and appreciates a sofa or bed for those lovely half-day naps!

Solo trio
A Passyunk Square school accomplished an unprecedented feat in winning the Catholic League boys’ basketball championship. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
P
laying for the boys’ basketball team at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., has become synonymous with making history. Monday night at the University of Pennsylvania’s Palestra, the squad added more accolades, scoring a third-straight Catholic League championship and becoming the first parochial group to register a trio of consecutive undefeated seasons in league play. Countering naysayers’ expectations, the team downed Archbishop Carroll, 5955, to give coach Carl Arrigale his seventh title in 13 seasons. On the threshold of gaining greatness in the league’s 92-year-old annals, the Saints watched the preceding girls’ title game. Once it ended, they retreated to their locker room to review their plan. “You’ve done all the preparation,” Arrigale said while detailing defensive schemes. “We need to keep the intensity level high.” Each player sat except for star guard Lamin Fulton, the lone starter left from last year’s championship squad, whose standing was a metaphorical preview of his need to rise above the opposition. Arrigale looked at the senior when he said, “We must control the tempo.” Carroll’s supporters were busy chanting, “We want Neumann!” “Carroll is looking for the memory of a lifetime,” Arrigale said. “Let’s keep what we’ve earned.” Entering with identical 20-4 records, the Saints and Patriots proved the game’s hype was well-deserved, trading buckets in an exciting first quarter. The local boys nailed three long-range shots, two by Fulton and one by junior guard Billy Shank, but sloppy ballhandling gave Carroll a 14-13 lead after eight minutes. The Patriots, hoping to exorcise recollections of last year’s 75-59 title-game defeat, turned to guard Juan’ya Green, who shared league MVP honors with Fulton, for perimeter potency, but John Davis, a sophomore forward, and Ja’Quan Newton, a freshman guard, split 10 points between
The Neumann-Goretti players and support staff gleefully clutched what has become a fixture over coach Carl Arrigale’s tenure, the Philadelphia Catholic League Championship plaque. The Saints play in tomorrow’s City Title contest. S ta f f P h o t o B y G r e g B e z a n i s
them to put their team in the ascendancy. Exhibiting more hustle in the second frame, the Saints fed off the partisan crowd’s support to outpace the Patriots. His team’s 30-25 edge pleased Arrigale, but he lamented what would make the second half even tighter — shaky foul shooting. “We should be up more,” he said of the lead that Fulton’s 12 points helped to craft. “It’s alright to take your time on offense, and you have to pressure their passers. You should be fighting for every inch of the court.” THE SAINTS HAVE shown plenty of fight over the last three years. They entered the game with 53 straight regular season and playoff triumphs against Catholic League teams, with six wins coming against Carroll. The Delaware County-based school, however, earned a 70-65 victory in 2009’s state quarterfinal, making it the last league member to sully the Saints. The majority of the third quarter confounded Carroll, as its deficit twice reached nine points. Neumann-Goretti used longer
possessions and swarming defense to stay in front. Fulton struggled with his shot, but Davis and Newton generated enough offense to retain the five-point halftime margin, this time forging a 43-38 advantage. Not used to nail-biters in its streak, Neumann-Goretti advanced by knocking off Center City’s Roman Catholic, 47-46, in a Feb. 23 semifinal duel. In league history, only Roman and Southeast Catholic, Neumann-Goretti’s original name, had managed to win at least three straight titles, with the latter doing so from 1939’41. Arrigale’s bunch wanted to add its new name to the list, and Fulton obliged the request for an up-tempo attack as the seconds elapsed. The dynamo, headed to New Jersey’s St. Peter’s College, scored four points in the second half, and he and junior forward Derrick Stewart dished passes to Davis, who scored 16 points, and Newton, who deposited 13. Carroll ran its offense through Green, who scored a game-high 30 points, and inched closer primarily because of the Saints’ free-throw ineptitude.
With opportunities to dispirit Carroll, the Saints could not convert their foulline chucks, hitting only 10 of 23 in the fourth quarter. What had been full-fledged visions of celebrating a comfortable win became wishes for staving off nightmares for their fans, as Carroll cut the score to 56-55. Davis, a left-hander who attacks the rim with gusto, stepped to the line for uncontested attempts as padding the lead. The youngster buried both, leaving Carroll 10.7 seconds to tie the score. Everyone knew the ball would go to Green, but his long-distance heave was off the mark. Stewart secured the miss and added a free throw to begin the celebration. Rife with contentment, the Saints hammed it up for photos, passing around the championship plaque and flashing three fingers to symbolize their achievement. Queen’s “We Are The Champions” filled the rafters, and the customary netcutting brought more cheers. “A lot of people had written us off,” Arrigale said as Stewart claimed the net’s final strand. “I knew we had a chance at the beginning of the year, and I felt we just kept getting better.” Arrigale had special kudos for Newton. “He’s great in the open floor. He really had a nice game for us tonight,” he said. So nice was what Newton contributed that the cheerleaders applauded his scores with “He’s a freshman” chants, foreshadowing the young man’s upside. “Early in the game, I was nervous,” the Southwest Philadelphia resident said. “Coach Carl told me to relax, and I just let it flow. A game like this helps me to see how I need to improve.” Newton and his teammates may have another such game tomorrow at 8 p.m. They will travel to Archbishop Ryan to face Philadelphia Electrical, the Public League’s Class AAA champ, in a City Title tilt. Regardless of the outcome, they then will try to defend their state title in to-be-determined action. “We work hard,” Newton said. “We’ll be successful as long as we keep doing that.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

aturday, for the third-straight year, the Prep Charter Lady Huskies and Central Lancers, met for the Public League girls’ basketball crown. But unlike the previous two meetings, the squad based at 1928 Point Breeze Ave., wanted to make a statement that they were without a shadow of a doubt the No. 1 team in the land. Falling short of that goal would’ve made all 22 of the previous victories — many of which were one-sided — meaningless. Heading into the early afternoon tilt at Temple University’s Liacouras Center one thing was quite clear: Opposing teams could not keep up with Prep Charter. On this day, it didn’t matter if the final score was 79-11 or 60-59, coach Paul Rieser just wanted a W next to his team. On this day, it came in the form of a 4939 triumph. “It felt good,” Rieser, now in his sixth season at Prep Charter, said, ”but I was really, really happy for the four seniors and really happy for the former players who are now in college.” Once the news started spreading via the social networks, the coach started getting nonstop messages of “We Did It!” from former players in Seattle, Wash., Cincinnati, Ohio and Clarion University. Robyn Harcum, a 2010 grad who was a member of the two previous runner-up squads attended the contest. From December’s highly-successful trip to Boca Raton, Fla., in which the local squad returned home with a tournament championship, to the previous lopsided playoff wins, the coach and his team were pretty confident that this would be their year. “We knew it was going to take a pretty strong effort for anyone in our league to beat us,” Rieser said. Several athletes contributed to what is now considered the culminating moment in Prep Charter girls’ basketball history. Kahleah Copper, a 6-foot-2 junior, took home MVP honors after tallying a gamehigh 19 points —15 of which came in
