Passionate parishioners As two schools attempt to halt their closures, the archdiocese continues its plan to combine the pair with another location. By Samantha Byles Review Intern
T
he Archdiocese of Philadelphia said it has made its final decisions regarding the closings and consolidations of schools across the city, but community members in Pennsport and Whitman have not yet backed down. More than 1,000 parents, teachers and students, alumni and neighbors came together at Third and McKean streets Feb. 23 to protest against the closing of two community schools. The Blue Ribbon Commission announced the closing and combining of several schools within the area, due to declining enrollment and the increased presence of charter schools, Jan. 6.

econd grader Laniyah McNeil excels in the three Rs at Stephen Girard School, 1800 Snyder Ave., and showed that her West Passyunk colleagues can likewise excel if they emphasize such vegetables as her beloved three Cs, carrots, cauliflower and cucumbers. She and nearly 150 pupils spent Friday
afternoon engaging in produce projects, with their biggest being an outdoor planting. Their top endeavor kicked off their management of a Teaching Garden, a seven-plot expanse that continues their facility’s relationship with the American Heart Association and aims to promote increased self-esteem and decreased waistlines. “This is my first time planting,” Laniyah, a resident of the 2200 block of South Bonsall Street, said shortly after carrot, onion,
radish, spinach and turnip seeds had left her fingers and entered the earth. “I can’t wait to plant other foods I like.” The 7-year-old’s enthusiasm and similar zeal touched Jed Bordner, a physical education teacher who has aligned his site with the Center City-based association for seven years. The instructor beamed as much as the kindergarten through fourth See TEACHING GARDEN page 10

United we clean
An open letter to residents: Get your brooms, bags and cleaning supplies ready because the fifth annual Philly Spring Cleanup is April 14 (rain date is April 28). In the last four years, we’ve stashed a mountain of trash and a whole lot more: •We’ve collected 5.8 million pounds of trash — that’s enough to fill the Eagles’ football field and create a pile 17.4 feet high. •We’ve had more than 45,000 volunteers participate; enough people to fill Citizens Bank Park to capacity plus standing room. •We’ve cleaned more than 175 Philadelphia Parks & Recreation areas and dedicated more than 200,000 volunteer hours to clean and beautify our city. •And last year, we delivered the most projects for a single cleanup with 250-plus project sites. As important as a one-day citywide cleanup surely is, we’re also deeply committed to using Philly Spring Cleanup as an organizing tool for keeping out city clean year round. Residents can join the UnLitter Us movement, the City’s sustained effort to remove and prevent litter. Visit philadelphiastreets.com/unlitterus to learn more about UnLitter Us, its many programs and to view a calendar of cleanups. Residents can like UnLitter Us on Facebook (facebook. com/unlitterus) or follow the movement on Twitter @UnLitterUs. But that’s not all. Those looking to stay active can also look to our partners for ideas or opportunities. The Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee schedules its Clean Block events on Saturdays throughout the spring and summer. Visit philadelphiastreets.com to find out when a cleanup is coming to your neighborhood. In honor of the Philly Spring Cleanup’s fifth anniversary, let’s join together in a united effort to make every part of our city a place of pride. Philadelphia has a lot of be proud of, and I know we can do better this year. My favorite part of the Philly Spring Cleanup is observing civic pride in action. Every year, I have the opportunity to visit and participate in cleanup projects across the city. I see motivated residents taking ownership of their blocks, community centers and neighborhoods and expending a tremendous amount of effort and energy in these projects. There are many ways that residents and organizations can get involved for this year’s Philly Spring Cleanup. Visit phillyspringcleanup.com to find
a cleanup near you, register to volunteer or submit your own project. You can also get involved through SERVE Philadelphia, the City’s initiative to connect residents of all ages to volunteer opportunities. Visit volunteer.phila.gov to find out how you can get involved in community projects throughout Philadelphia. I look forward to seeing thousands of Philadelphians cleaning their neighborhoods April 14 at our fifth annual Philly Spring Cleanup. Let’s build great momentum that day and keep the work going to create a more beautiful home for ourselves and a better place for others to visit. Let’s keep up the sweep up 365 days a year. I hope all Philadelphia residents participate in this milestone event and help make it our biggest and best cleanup yet! Volunteer at phillyspringcleanup.com. Mayor Michael A.

government regulation. Catholic schools already get millions in tax support. The church pays no taxes. They also receive federal, state and locally supported child benefit services that do not violate the First Amendment, including: nurses and free health screening for students; free transportation; attendance monitoring; special education services; fire inspections; police protection; crossing guards; Title One money for books; and so forth. Carlo’s fear that crime will be “rampant� without “religious training� is absurd. Education in an economic recovery is the best antidote to crime and violence. Meanwhile, public schools, which do not discriminate, are underfunded, as tax dollars are siphoned to privatized tiers of education like charter schools. The Pennsylvania Education Improvement Tax Credit program alone allows businesses to direct more than $75 million per year toward scholarships to elite private and sectarian schools. With all that help, Catholic education is not going anywhere. More to think about, eh? Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

A Whitman mother’s sons were taken away when officers discovered them home alone. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor
P
olice discovered two young children among rodents and filth in a Whitman apartment after their mother was arrested in Lower Moyamensing. 3rd District police officers pulled over a blue Ford Escape on the 2200 block of South 12th Street at 1:45 a.m. Friday and determined the passenger, Dawn M. Canterbury, 31, of the 100 block of Snyder Avenue, was wanted for fraud in LansDawn dale, according to the Canterbury Police Public Affairs Unit. Upon her arrest, officers recovered narcotics. She asked to give the vehicle’s driver her keys, so he could check on her sons, who police learned were left unattended, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. Officers discovered her second-floor apartment’s door wide open and the place in terrible condition with rats roaming around. Canterbury’s 3-year-old son was in the living room while her 1-year-old son was in a crib in the bedroom. Both were unharmed, but are now in the custody of the Department of Human Services. Canterbury was charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of children and recklessly endangering another person, as well as possession charges.
Quest for alleged gunman Authorities are seeking a Grays Ferry man believed to be responsible for an October homicide. The U.S. Marshal Service is offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of Robert Holmes, aka Rick James, U.S. Marshal Supervisor James Burke said. The 28-year-old allegedly shot James Abbott, 41, of Southwest Philly, in the back on the 3300 block of Reed Street at 9:40 p.m. Oct. 8 and fled the scene, acRobert Holmes cording to authorities. Abbott was pronounced dead 40 minutes later. Holmes, whose last known address is on the 2300 block of South Bailey Terrace, is
described as 5-foot-7, 140 pounds; having brown eyes, black hair and “Shyreeta” tattooed on his right forearm. To report information, call the U.S. Marshal tip line at 1-866-865-8477.
Quadruple bypass A victim of gunfire in Grays Ferry sped to the police station to report the crime early Tuesday. A 24-year-old was shot four times — once in the neck, twice in the shoulder and once in the back — on the 2800 block of Wharton Street at 12:15 a.m., so he raced to the 1st District, 2301 S. 24th St., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Police noticed the green Oldsmobile speeding southbound on the 1700 block of South 29th Street and followed him to his destination, Tolliver said. Officers transported him to HUP where he was in stable condition and taken into surgery. Police recovered ballistics and physical evidence at the scene, but did not provide the motive or the shooter’s description at press time. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Post-birthday stabbing A Newbold man was arrested for slashing a man outside an Old City bar just hours after his 30th birthday ended. Louis Leonetti, 30, of the 1500 block of South 15th Street, began arguing with employees and patrons outside of Recess Bar, 138 S. Second St., at 2:45 a.m. Feb. 25, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. He then allegedly stabbed a 34-year-old man in the left leg during the course of the confrontation. The victim was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition. Leonetti was arrested on the 400 block of South 21st Street without incident March 2 and charged with aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and simple assault, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. Leonetti posted 10 percent of his $10,000 bail Saturday, according to court records. SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A Dickinson Narrows man was sentenced to jail for up to 46 years for killing a man inside the victim’s Wolf Street residence. Narat Kim, 22, of the 1300 block of South Sixth Street, will spend to 20 to 40 years in prison for third-degree murder plus three to six years for carrying a firearm without a license Feb. 15. He also will serve nine months to five years concurrently to the murder sentence for possession of an instrument of crime, according to court records. During an argument Narat Kim at 8:30 p.m. March 26 2010, Kim shot Saran Ngoy, 26, of the 600 block of Wolf Street, in the abdomen, police said. Ngoy died 90 minutes later. Kim was arrested two days later. He intended to plead guilty Feb. 17, ’11, but changed his mind, according to court records. A jury convicted him after a threeday trial Dec. 21. SPR

high school basketball standout turned youth mentor lost his life speaking up about neighborhood violence. His killer was sentenced to death Feb. 29. A jury convicted Derrick “Heavy” White, 21, of the 1200 block of South 23rd Street, Feb. 28 of gunning down Abdul Taylor, 32, of the 2200 block Derrick White of Ellsworth Street, at 8:55 p.m. May 6, 2010. Taylor, who remains the No. 1 scorer in basketball at Charles Y. Audenried Sr. High School, 3301 Tasker St., was shot once in the head and died at noon the following day. “Abdul Taylor — good guy. Great guy, father of eight, took care of his kids, a basketball coach and mentor at [Southwest Philly’s] Kingsessing Rec Center and a guy who had got encouraged enough to step forward,” Assistant District Attorney Richard Sax said Tuesday. Taylor had mentored many neighborhood kids and knew White, as well as Allen Moment Jr., who was shot 15 times at 22nd and Pierce streets in ’06 and survived until ’08. Shortly before Moment’s death, Taylor identified Moment’s three shooters. His statement was passed along to the defense lawyers in the case. “Like all witness statements — to protect them, we take out their address,” Sax said. “We can’t take out the name … Taking out his address was almost meaningless [in Taylor’s case] because everyone knows who he is.” In his neighborhood, Taylor was labeled immediately as a “rat” and a “snitch,” Sax said. The night of his death his mother sent him to get sugar. The mother thought she heard a car crash, but when she looked out the window, she saw a man on the ground. She didn’t realize it was her son until she saw the sugar. “He died with this bag of sugar spilled all over the street,” Sax said. “… She sees the sugar. She’s crushed beyond comprehension.” While no witnesses came forward, DNA linked White, then 20, to the crime. “What Derrick White did was as he’s running away, his hat comes off his head. His sweat and therefore his DNA is in the
hat rim,” Sax said also noting White threw his sweatshirt with his holster attached, which also carried his DNA, into someone’s yard as he fled on Alder Street. When brought in for questioning, White eventually admitted to the crime, Sax said, but told authorities he killed Taylor because he heard he was good with his fists and was afraid he was going to beat him up. A three-day jury trial led to White’s conviction for first-degree murder, criminal conspiracy engaging first-degree murder, retaliation against a witness or victim, firearms not to be carried without a license, carrying firearms in public in Philadelphia, and possession of an instrument of crime, according to court records. The next day the jury sentenced White to death by lethal injection. White already was serving a five- to 10-year sentence after pleading guilty in November to a ’10 shooting of two men at 24th and Christian streets. “Remorseless,” Sax said of White’s reaction to the most recent verdict and sentencing, adding that White turned around and smirked to both his and Taylor’s family.

FIGHTING CLOSURE continued from page 1 on the list were Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 2329 S. Third St., and Sacred Heart of Jesus, 1329 E. Moyamensing Ave. Both schools were originally set to head to a regional site with three other learning institutions at the former Stella Maris School, 814 Bigler St., but upon appeals, the archdiocese deemed Feb. 17 they would merge with Epiphany of Our Lord at its 1248 Jackson St. site. Each announcement left the community devastated. “They don’t seem to understand that it’s more than just a school. It’s a community of parishioners, generations of family,” Marcie Figueroa, a Mount Carmel parent and resident of the 2500 block of South Third Street, said. Figueroa, a proud Mount Carmel graduate, still sees the importance of the two schools standing together. “It’s a neighborhood. It’s a community,” she said. As of March 1, an estimated $50,000 in donations have been collected to keep the schools open. Both schools also have filed an appeal against canon law, which sets the regulations made by or adopted by ecclesiastical authority. However, all decisions and appeals have been reviewed and made final as of the Feb. 17 announcement. “No additional appeal meetings have been or will be conducted,” the archdiocese said in a March 1 statement. Meanwhile, the Epiphany regional site’s implementation team also has continued to plan for the merger as it is polling families attending each of the three merging schools to chose a name for the regional location among Guardian Angels, Holy Trinity, Our Lady of Hope, Our Lady of the Trinity or Our Lady of the Rosary, according to a Feb. 24 bulletin. While the faculty has not yet been hired, the team unanimously selected current Epiphany Principal Patricia Cody as its leader. “Each of our three schools have special strengths and we will combine these
Community members of all ages voiced their disapproval of closures and mergers that included leaving South Philly’s eastern section void of a Catholic school. strengths to create the finest school for our children,” the bulletin read. “The new model of regional schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia will ensure a long future for affordable and sustainable Catholic education in our area. With God on our side throughout this process, we truly believe that we can create the best school in South Philadelphia.” THE PROTEST WAS a symbol of the neighborhoods coming together as its inhabitants came to fight against the archdiocese’s decision. 1st District City Councilman Mark Squilla, a Mount Carmel graduate and resident of Front Street and Snyder Avenue, made an appearance to encourage the attendees to stick together as a community. It was area residents’ and parents’ speeches that had the greatest impact on the crowd that night.
“Our neighborhood is made up of neat little rowhomes lined up like books on a shelf with two bookends, one is Sacred Heart of Jesus and the other Our Lady of Mount Carmel,” Kenneth Dougherty said to the crowd. “With the loss of one bookend, we can lean the books against the other and still remain standing, but without the other bookend the books will most certainly fall.” Dougherty, a parent of two students at Sacred Heart, believes that the unity and support behind the Catholic schools in the neighborhood is necessary in saving them as well as the church. “Catholic schools raise new generations of Catholics, and if the schools go, then the churches are next,” he said. While the archdiocese accepted appeals from the schools, staff and faculty members from both Mount Carmel and Sa-
cred Heart claim that they were not given enough time to propose their alternative. The two other schools originally set to merge at the former Stella Maris School, St. Richard, 1826 Pollock St., and Holy Spirit, 1845 Hartranft St., appealed and won, forming a regional school at St. Richard, but Mount Carmel and Sacred Heart were blindsided by their pleadings, Joseph Nelson, whose family has ties to both Mount Carmel and Sacred Heart, said. “It was rushed,” Nelson said of the appeal meeting. “We never got the chance to speak, with interjections and all. We had a plan. “The best solution, we thought, would be to merge Sacred Heart and Mount Carmel. What Mount Carmel lacks in enrollment, Sacred Heart has.” Their plan called for Sacred Heart to be sold, and for the members of that school and parish to move to Mount Carmel. Mount Carmel currently has 45 percent of its enrollment capacity filled and has a parish surplus of $324,989 while Sacred Heart of Jesus has 76 percent enrollment capacity and a deficit of $295,355, according to the Blue Ribbon Commission Report. The merger would bring enrollment to about 300 students, and would remove the debt from Sacred Heart. Parents and community members argued in the appeal that it was not about the educational facilities anymore. “It’s not just a school, its a neighborhood, and we need to save it,” Nelson said. “People do care and we need to show the archdiocese that.” The archdiocese does not have a date as to when information regarding when the regional school will be finalized, but Nelson said, March 25 is the tentative date that parents can begin to register their children for Catholic schools. While he does not discourage anyone from registering at the regional facility, he wants it to be known that there is still a fight occurring for these schools. “The archdiocese doesn’t have faith in the community, but if they can give us two years, we can prove them wrong,” Nelson said.

TEACHING GARDEN continued from page 1 grade class members as all made state history. Their celebration honored their selection as Pennsylvania’s first Teaching Garden and initiates a busy stretch that will include a spring seedling session, a summer harvest and an autumn planting. “The garden and the curriculum will advance notions of responsibility and ownership of one’s nutritional identity,” the Northeast inhabitant said. Girard’s participation in the annual Jump Rope For Heart fundraiser has netted $10,000, so the heart organization, having received a grant from the MetLife Foundation, decided to further its dealings with Principal Thomas Koger’s institution and create a new generation of planters. “The foundation also asked us to place the garden in an area that receives subsidized meals,” Corey Hnat, the American Heart Association’s business development director, said of endowing Girard, one of his employer’s 30,000 partner schools, with a space that intensifies his organization’s collaboration with child-nutrition activist and Teaching Garden founder Kelly Meyer to heighten health. Hungry for knowledge and nutrition, the kindergarteners began by marching to the garden with aspirations to grow goodies. In honor of Theodor Seuss Geisel’s birthday, they donned Dr. Seuss hats, as did Koger, who introduced cardiologist Vincent Figueredo of the Einstein Health Network. “You are going to be scientists, and this will be your laboratory,” the doctor said. “I need for you to teach your relatives and friends about the benefits of healthy eating.” After presenting Koger with a plaque featuring a miniature shovel, Figueredo fraternized with the youngsters. Children use french fries as their most common vegetable source, with 25 percent of their intake deriving from the greasy potatoes, according to a 2009 Journal of the American Dietetic Association piece. No such artery attackers were present Friday as Nicholas Cooks led the line and inserted the day’s first specimen, a carrot seed that brought a smile to his 5-year-old face. Four more lucky samples left his fingertips and began their growth cycle. “I liked the seeds,” the resident of the 2300 block of South Woodstock Street said. “They were so small but neat.” AFTER THE EBULLIENT boy had parted with his handful, he joined his classmates inside for a vegetable taste test. Little cups contained shredded carrots, cucumbers and spinach, and Nicholas gobbled his treats
mediate need for advocacy is leading him to try to transform the garden into a whole school initiative. “The students will become experts at understanding growth potential, both the literal kind they will observe by watching over the plants and the figurative type they can talk with their families about,” he said. The schools determine a garden’s scope, according to the pulmonary organization’s website, so Bordner, also the school’s Health Champion representative, wants the plants to help everyone’s self-esteem to sprout. “I am eager to hear their pride when they say ‘I grew this,’” he said. Many lessons will touch directly on math, science, reading and writing and will mesh with the garden’s maintenance, Hnat said. The nation’s largest volunteer organization, the association has won over Koger with its outreach. “We look forward to expanding our relationship,” Koger said. “We would love to have them back for a salad.” SPR For more information, visit heart.org.

before taking a book on carrot seeds from an impressive pile of literature. He and the others excitedly anticipated a trip to the auditorium, where spirited rounds of fruit and vegetable bingo kept all learners conscious of colors and concentration. The steady pace continued as classes yielded to one another at various stations. The exterior action brought much joy as the other seeds joined the carrots. When grown, the plants will inspire a summer celebration through which the budding growers will receive an edible reward for their endeavors. In addition to the taste tests, outside tasks and bingo bonanza, the students tended to tables adorned with vegetable-related crossword and seek and find puzzles and coloring sheets. Giggles dominated the hallway, as they also reached into bags to try to identify numerous fruits and vegetables, many from foreign lands. Laniyah enjoyed the entire day, but the taste test, with its involvement of two-thirds of her favorite crunchy provisions, delighted her most. “The crunchier, the better,” she said after
teacher Michelle Conti had read “I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato” to her and her 27 classmates. Their West Passyunk haven prides itself on its existing nutrition curriculum, with Conti’s class holding weekly 30 to 45 minute lessons on the perks of consuming low-fat, high-fiber foods. The school receives regular visits from a School District of Philadelphia official who enhances the appreciation of shunning gutbusting temptations. Friday marked Laniyah’s premier planting of edible wonders, but the second graders are cultivating marigolds and sunflowers to distribute to their matriarchs for Mother’s Day. In the meantime, they are reveling in their selection, one of 12 national nods. Bordner, an eighth-year faculty member, witnessed the keenness two weeks ago when leading the classes through the garden. “We still feel so honored to be a Teaching Garden site,” he said, adding that designation came in early November. Bordner knows the primacy of changing attitudes about nutritional control. The im-

By Jess Fuerst
A lifelong dancer and writer works to publish her first book and show Philadelphians the intricacies of the art form.
Review Contributor
K
at Richter is a dancer and musician. Her instrument, however, is her feet. “I was drawn to the musicality of it. You are a musician and a dancer simultaneously. People don’t really realize that jazz and tap are linked; they developed in tandem,” Richter, of Front Street and Washington Avenue, said. “I do a lot of improv and go to tap jams. I try to always perform with live music because there is a great connection you can have with the musicians.” Richter has been a tap dancer since age 5 — professionally since age 9 — and a teacher for about 20 years. She instructs at multiple locations throughout the Philadelphia area and also teaches creative movement. “Essentially [creative movement] is focusing on using the body and using movement to explore other aspects of the music. As opposed to ballet, where you have to turnout and you have to be structured, you can explore other themes,” Richter said. “It’s primarily taught to younger children
Lifestyles or for physical therapy. It’s interpretive movement so maybe we’ll read a story and then do a dance that explores the themes of that story.” With degrees in dance, history and anthropology, she often approaches her teaching from a holistic perspective to give students an appreciation for the physicality and the cultural significance. “I encourage my older students to come to tap jams with me so they can start seeing that they are not just a dancer, but that they are contributing to the music,” the 26-year-old said. Richter spends half of her time as a teacher and the other as a freelance journalist for publications such as PhiladelphiaDANCE. org’s The Dance Journal and Dance Spirit Magazine. She hopes one day to have the balance shift in favor of writing. “I love them both. I always think I need to pick one or the other, but writing helps me be a better teacher and teaching a better writer,” Richter said. “Even if I have a New York Times best-seller, I’ll always teach. I love working with kids and I love dance, but in terms of career goals, I’d like to be writing more than I am now.” Her latest venture in the writing world is shopping around her book proposal. The nonfiction work, “Fieldwork in Stilettos,” is based on her blog experiment where a
year ago she collected research on dating. “It’s very tongue-in-cheek, pseudo anthropological experiment in dating from when I turned 25 I launched an online dating experiment. … Since I have a graduate degree in anthropology, I decided to approach dating and why I am still single and conduct fieldwork. I thought of each date as fieldwork,” she said. Thirty guys and 80 dates later, Richter had a spreadsheet that included each date and details of what they did, if they went out again, etc. She analyzed these results and had some insightful takeaways. “I’m very big now on looking at dating as fieldwork, meeting a lot of people and figuring out what you want. As a result of keeping this spreadsheet I was able to categorize, and see the sort of guys I keep falling for is the same guy,” Richter, who now has a boyfriend (whom she did not meet online), said. “As women, we tend to generalize about men that all they want to do is have sex and they don’t care about a woman’s feelings, but I dated so many sweethearts that were just as sincere as women in their dating efforts so that was refreshing.” BEGINNING HER DANCE lessons in Freehold, N.J., Richter joined a group at age 9 and began performing professionally.
“I was accepted as an apprentice in the New Jersey Tap Dance Ensemble and we’d perform to live music every week. We performed all over the tri-state area with really great musicians,” she said. “It was pretty cool as a kid and I got to work with some really fabulous artists in a professional company.” She attended Goucher College in Baltimore, where she double majored in dance and history, graduating in 2007. She spent a year in the grant-writing department at Center City’s Walnut Street Theater before moving to London to do a master’s program at Roehampton University in dance anthropology. “There are only about five or six schools that offer that [degree] in the U.S.,” Richter said. “I received a scholarship to Oxford for a year when I was in undergrad and I loved being in the U.K.” Richter headed back to the States to contemplate her next move, as she was thinking about Ph.D., work. Her parents had relocated to the area and Richter rented a spot in their new home to assess her options. “Quite honestly I love this city and the part that I’m located in. I can hop on 95 in two minutes and I can walk to Old City,” Richter said. The tap scene in Philadelphia could use a boost, Richter said, but she, and the cur-
rent tap community are up for the challenge. In last year’s Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Richter and co-producer Pamela Hetherington put together an all-female tap revue, which they staged at Society Hill’s Bistro Romano. “We sold out both of them, two performances … I had never produced a show before and it was extremely stressful, but we broke even,” Richter, who performed with about a dozen other local tappers, said. “I think we got a lot of really positive feedback.” That show — which was entitled “Too Darn Hot” — and the many students Richter sees each day are some of the reasons she has decided, for the time being, to stay locally and continue to improve the accessibility to and appreciation of the art form. “I enjoy Philly and a lot of tap dancers, myself included, think that we owe the art form a lot. I owe it to my students here to build the tap scene here and really help what’s going on here,” Richter, who still plans to complete a Ph.D., said. “There are definitely a lot of people in Philadelphia that are very talented and passionate about tap. It’s not really in the spotlight so much, but it’s a goal of mine, eventually, once I publish the book, to help promote it here.” SPR

Cardella
By Tom Cardella Columnist
The college Rick
I
’m feeling bad for Rick Santorum these days. I thought my college life was full of angst, but it seems as if Rick is still trying to get over his Penn State days. My psyche was scarred when my prom night ended at the stroke of midnight with a tepid kiss in front of the couple with whom we had double-dated (my first mistake). That traumatic experience in my college days left me the bitter, cynical columnist you are reading today. But Santorum suffered far, far worse. Rick was unhappy in the midst of Happy Valley. How does that happen? Rick reveals that he was surrounded by leftists at the university. He has only given us sketchy details of his specific encounters, but I offer my speculation in place of facts. I do this in honor of the dearly departed Andrew Breitbart, conservative blogger and master of fictional investigations. Rick took advantage of the governmentsupported lower tuitions at Penn State and was accepted in 1976, the year he stopped listening to rock because of suggestive lyrics. He majored in political science when he found out that the school did not offer courses in political theology, which he brought to the attention of the school president. The first sign of trouble was when Rick noted that his professors often wore opennecked shirts and had facial hair. One in particular annoyed him because during classroom breaks, the teacher could be heard humming snatches of “Play That Funky Music, White Boy.” Rick knew he was going to have trouble in his first political science class. He was seated on the left side of the room. As if that weren’t bad enough, the female student sitting next to him was noticeably not wearing a bra. Rick found it difficult to concentrate on the assigned chapter in Adam Smith’s “Wealth Of Nations.” Amateur psychologists today theorize that Santorum’s love of pure capitalism may simply be a substitute for an understandable attraction to braless women. The youthful Rick clashed with his teachers and students, who refused to accept the notion that carrying contraceptives to outdoor rock concerts was wrong and immoral. It got worse in a minor film course when he charged that “All the President’s Men” was liberal propaganda about a “third-rate burglary.” In lit class, he was mocked for choosing Ayn Rand as the most important author of the 20th century. Santorum later soured
on Rand when he found out that she also believed in free love and abortion. It was the same story in every class. Rick clashed with an instructor in a health class when he tried to promote the theory that masturbation affected your eyesight. One student actually challenged Santorum to a contest to see which one could more accurately read an eye chart. Santorum pledged a fraternity, Tau Epsilon Phi, admittedly to get dates. He was stoic, make that heroic, during the entire hazing process. He never complained when he was forced to walk naked through the cafeteria wearing only a sweater vest, carrying a poster of Debbie Boone and singing “You Light Up My Life.” He didn’t even let out so much as a gripe when he was forced to eat pig feces while drinking a case of Budweiser. It was only when he was subjected to attending a course on prenatal care with pregnant Penn State students that he felt himself losing it. But Rick survived the test to become a member of the fraternity (although his anti-contraceptive stance kept him from being very popular on the dating scene). Rick continued to have problems with the liberal curriculum — (favoring the study of JFK over Calvin Coolidge, feminism over a woman’s place in the home, and labeling homosexuals gay). Santorum correctly pointed out that most of the homosexuals he knew were no happier than himself. But when it came to test scores, Rick got straight 100s on every test. Even the plump hippie who sat behind him in many of his classes copied from Santorum. Yet when he received his transcripts, Rick found he received only Cs. How could this be? Santorum conducted his own investigation. He hid in the closet after class one day (the only time that, contrary to liberal propaganda, he has ever been in the closet) and caught his political science teacher marking down Rick’s grades in all of his classes. This teacher, who wore a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt in his leisure time, disliked Santorum for some reason. In fact, he really hated Rick as if he were Satan himself. Penn State was not what he had expected. It was not a pastoral setting where abstinence was practiced and the poems of the beat writers were banned. Penn State was liberal! Football was only a ruse, a way to seduce the innocent conservative into a college life of debauchery and leftwing politics. Santorum’s traumatic college experiences were life altering. The college Rick became the man who realized that college aspirations could be the gateway to hell. Santorum is the man in a sweater vest, on a holy crusade to drive the devil out of the United States, the way St. Patrick did in Ireland. And he can read an eye chart from a 100 paces.

Not as scary as it appears
Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen) plays a young woman trapped in her family’s lakeside house in the new thriller “Silent House.”
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
W
ith “Open Water,” their breakout feature as a filmmaking couple, Chris Kentis and Laura Lau showed promising interests in vérité commitment, formal experimentation and frill-free horror, crafting a DIY, fact-based tale of two doomed divers abandoned in shark-filled waters. “Silent House,” Kentis and Lau’s haunted-mansion follow-up, serves to extend its directors’ nifty penchants, but ultimately fails to advance their arty street cred. It’s a bit of a tragedy how completely their new film comes apart, grinding to a conclusion that negates 70odd preceding minutes of ace tension. The movie’s gimmick, as many know, is that it all unfolds — allegedly — in one continuous take, which stretches on for a whopping 88 minutes (the Uruguayan original, “The Silent House,” made in the same style, reportedly ran for 78). If Kentis and Lau truly did pull this off (this viewer didn’t detect a seam), then they’ve performed quite a feat, bringing something fresh and keenly orchestrated to the tired table of shaky-cam thrillers. Still, it is, admittedly, a shallow feat, and if anything, it draws attention away from the story and toward the production logistics. Where it succeeds without hiccup is in the spotlighting of Elizabeth Olsen, whose dig-beneath-the-skin work in “Martha Marcy May Marlene” was, evidently, just the beginning. Playing a young woman suddenly trapped in the lakeside house her family’s renovating, Olsen is tasked to give one uninterrupted, terrorized performance, and once again, she’s scary good, quickly shifting from cool nonchalance to profound, breathless dread.
She’s not good enough, however, to remedy the film’s eventual self-enflicted wounds, which come courtesy of a tasteless, cockamamie twist ending penned by Lau and Gustavo Hernández, writer/director of the original version. The last thing any moviegoer needs is another Psych for Dummies rug-pull that upends his or her experience. From a distance, “Silent House” seems primed to inject some new blood into the American horror landscape, but the further you venture inside, the more it looks like every other bump-inthe-night shack on the block.
Silent House R Two reels out of four Opens Friday in area theaters
Recommended Rental Melancholia R Available Tuesday In Lars von Trier’s apocalyptic masterpiece, Kirsten Dunst plays a bride-to-be whose crushing depression doesn’t only spoil her wedding, but may just have manifested as a massive planet bound for Earth, set to bring about the apocalypse in spectacular fashion. Never in greater control of his gift for projecting his demons (and genius) onto the screen, von Trier delivers an epic work that leaves you unraveled in your seat. The best film of 2011.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

= Exceptional
Sassafras Bar By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
M
ore than a year ago, I decided to review restaurants that have been in business for more than 25 years. Anyone who has contemplated opening a restaurant knows it is hard work. I’m not sure what the life expectancy of a new establishment is, but the dinner Edward and I enjoyed at Friday, Saturday and Sunday made me realize why this institution has been in business since 1973. Last week, my sister Sandy and I went to the Ritz to see “My Week with Marilyn.” We passed by Sassafras on the way to the theater. “I’ve been going to Sassafras for years,” I said. “Let’s have a bite after the movie.” We strolled around Old City, going in and out of shops, until 6 p.m., when our stomach clocks went off. I could not wait to revisit this pub, which I have never reviewed, even though I stopped by for a few appetizers about a year ago. Sassafras just might be the city’s first gastropub; its doors opened years before the term was coined. It has been open for more than 35 years, according to its website, although Fergus, the friendly barman from Belfast, thinks it is closer to 39 years. Not much has changed since I first came here as a graduate student many years ago. Sassafras has a long narrow space with the original tile floor, tin ceiling, hanging lights, wooden bar, which echoes the Edwardian Age, and booths in the back area. Sandy and I settled in and I looked at the menu, which has not changed since my first visit. Jazz was playing on the sound Peking Inn: 20th St. and Penrose Ave., 215-271-1389, $$

system. I sipped a superb Rob Roy ($11) and remembered how delicious the grilled vegetarian spring rolls with ginger soy dipping sauce ($6.95) along with the steamed homemade Mongolian dumplings ($9.95) were. Each dish Sandy and I ordered brought me back to the days of my youth at Sassafras. It was one Proustian moment after another. The bill of fare has changed little since the mid-‘70s although I doubt the restaurant offered a vegetarian burger, lamb burger or ostrich burger when Gerald Ford was president. French onion soup ($5.95) was piping hot and prepared with rich, not-at-all salty, homemade stock. The caramelized onions — slowly and gently cooked in butter — added a natural slightly sweet flavor to the stock. A crouton floated in the center and the whole crock was topped with a thick layer of Gruyère cheese that melted as soon as it hit the broiler. This has to be the finest onion soup in town. We shared the spinach salad ($6.95), which was thoughtfully split in the kitchen. It was a composed salad of perfectly dry baby spinach, sweet red onion bits, red ripe tomato half moons, cucumbers and hard-boiled egg wedges. I clearly recalled the homemade Maytag Blue dressing, which I always have enjoyed, and I’m pleased to write it was as fine as it was years ago. If you hanker for blue cheese dressing, which never saw the inside of a bottle, order it at Sassafras.

Around 7:30 p.m., two gentlemen arrived with their instruments in tow. Sassafras features live jazz a few evenings a week. Sandy and I took to the lilting sounds of a sax and guitar like ducklings following their mother into the pond. The Angus burgers ($10.95) were always among the stars of the menu here. They are perfectly charcoal grilled on the outside and medium-rare on the inside. We ordered them with imported sharp cheddar cheese and Applewood smoked bacon. I marveled at the slice of a red ripe tomatoes used here at this time of year. So many places serve anemic tomatoes in winter when they should just forego it. Our juicy burgers came with a portion of not-at-all greasy french fries, which I tucked into just after I sprinkled them

Several famous females have established international followings without earning culinary degrees from recognized institutions. The best part is their recipes are published in popular cookbooks that make for easy sharing. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
Kasha
From “Food for Friends” by Barbara Kafka Ingredients:
Directions: Melt the butter in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Over medium heat, sauté the onion until it is soft and brown. Add the celery and parsley and cook, stirring,
Note from Phyllis: Kasha has a marvelous nutty flavor. You can add some cooked bow-tie pasta to create the classic Jewish side dish kasha and bows. Cook the bow ties separately and add them to the kasha after it has finished cooking. Make sure you buy egg noodles, not Italian Farfalle. Round out this hearty meal with any green vegetable or begin with a salad.
Pot Roast in Beer
From Julie Dannenbaum’s “Complete Creative Cooking School Cookbook” Ingredients:
1 4-pound chuck roast 3 tablespoons of sugar 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of ground cloves 6 peppercorns 1 large onion, sliced 2 large carrots, sliced 2 cups of beer 1/2 cup of olive oil 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Directions: Put the beef in a bowl and sprinkle with
the first six ingredients. Pour on the beer and oil. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning occasionally. Remove the beef from the marinade, drain it and reserve the marinade. Pat dry with paper towels. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot. Brown the meat on all sides, which should take about 15 minutes. Add 3/4 of a cup marinade to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, lower to simmer and cook for about two-and-a-halfhours. Halfway through the cooking time, turn the meat over and add a bit more of the marinade if the meat appears dry. Allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the marinade on the side. Serves six to eight. Note from Phyllis: I would add some beef stock and a heaping tablespoon or two of tomato paste to the beef as it cooks. When I prepare pot roast, I make sure the liquid thoroughly covers the meat. This will yield more gravy which is needed for the meat and the kasha.

T
oday is International Women’s Day. Ironically, it is also Purim, the Jewish festival which recalls how the bright and beautiful Queen Esther saved her people from the gallows at the hands of the evil Haman. With apologies to James Agee, let us now praise famous women chefs and cooks. Let’s clear something up. The word chef means chief in French. She or he is in charge of the professional kitchen and is responsible for a myriad of duties including the hiring and firing of staff, ordering provisions, planning the menu and so forth. Julia Child said many times “I am a cook, not a chef.” Sometimes becoming a chef has nothing to do with graduating from culinary school. I know a number of fine individuals who never attended The Restaurant School, The Culinary Institute of America, The Cordon Bleu or any other fine institutions in the United States or Europe. A quick glance at my cookbook library of several hundred volumes reveals the majority of books were written by cooks, not chefs. Think of best-selling authors and you will discover, Child, Marcella Hazan, Lidia Bastianich, Ina Garten, Claudia Roden, Joan Nathan, Barbara Kafka and M.F.K. Fisher, who all fell into the accom-
plished cook category. These women were as creative and proficient with the pen as they were in the kitchen. My friend and mentor Julie Dannenbaum died in December four months shy of her 90th birthday. She studied culinary arts in France. As a newlywed, I clearly recall following Julie’s recipes for fillet of beef or rack of lamb, which I had never roasted before. When Julie wrote a recipe, she held the reader’s hand. I have been doing the same ever since I wrote my first culinary column many years ago. I salute her, as well as women cooks all over the world who continue to inspire me.

Lena DeRose
DeRose, (Lee) Lena (nee Altamuro). Loving Mother of John “Bear” DeRose Jr. and loving Grandmother of Johnny DeRose and the late Jimmy DeRose. Only child of the late James and Catherine (Kay) Altamuro. She is also survived by her loving family of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. As a resident of the 1300 block of Geary Street for over forty years, Lee was born in Philadelphia PA on July 16, 1941. Lee worked as a waitress for most of her life. She enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family, especially Christmas Eve. She loved having the boys (or whoever showed up at 6:00) over for macaroni and couldn’t feed them enough. (That was the South Philly in her) Whether they knew her as “Mrs. Bear” or “Mom Mom Lee” or just Lee, she always had her door open for anyone. Often making sacrifices, Lee was happiest when she could help her family and others. After retirement Lee worked as a lunch mom at Holy Spirit. She spent her spare time bowling at St. Monica’s. She also enjoyed reading, a good buffet, and of course shopping (professionally). In 2008 Lee beat lung cancer. On January 17, 2012 she was called to heaven. As Lee wished, the funeral arrangements were private. “There are so many times I think of you and smile Mom. Like the times we spent together with Flub at Side Street or the annual trip to Hammonton with the kids for the Feast of Mt. Carmel. I remember coming home on my days off and you couldn’t wait to clean my clothes and cook for me. (A little spoiled huh? She even ironed my underwear!) In 48 years I never remembered you telling me “NO.” There was nothing I couldn’t tell you, ma. I miss our eight phone calls a day. I miss “our” sense of humor. I miss everything. I miss You! I know in my heart that you’re resting peacefully with Jimmy. I Love You Ma.
Love, Your baby John Jr. I would like to thank my family and friends for all their love and support. It’s greatly appreciated.
Love, Johnny Bear

back to 62-56, but a pair of Copper free throws and technical foul misses from Fiocca kept the momentum with the frontrunners. With time as an equally relentless opponent, the Saints settled for being only the fifth Lady Huskies’ challenger to fall by fewer than 10 points. A spirited handshake line preceded Prep Charter’s revelry, which would include much love for Copper, whose 22 points and 12 rebounds garnered her a plaque as MVP. “In the first half, I played more off the ball,” Copper said. “I did little things like encouraging my teammates and grabbing rebounds.” Though his girls secured yet another win, Rieser noticed a sore spot. “We had too many fouls,” he said. “We fought through it though and stayed composed.” Having fallen to Catholic contenders in prior city matchups, he felt relieved to earn the triumph. “It’s all about the girls,” he said. “I’m just so happy for them. I come back every year, but if they lose, they lose and that’s it. To see them succeed just brings a smile to my face.” Even in defeat, Fiocca found the evening instructive. “We weren’t getting back on ‘D’ after missed shots,” the resident of the 1900 block of East Moyamensing Avenue said. “When
we miss shots, we need to get back.” She said the loss will sting but will make her squad more eager to play in the state competition, which will see them open Saturday at Drexel Hill’s Monsignor Bonner High School. District 12’s second seed, the Saints will face Nazareth Academy at 4:30 p.m. “I’m really excited,” she said of participating. “We need some kind of title to end my senior year.” With 16 points, Rafiu led the Saints. “It was a good game,” the Southwest dweller said, adding she enjoyed facing Copper. “I had foul trouble but I committed to doing the best I could. For states, we need to become quicker.” Copper and the other gazelles will open Saturday as the district’s top seed against Susquehanna Township. Their 4:30 p.m. tilt will occur at Southern. “We need hard work and dedication,” Copper said of topping last year’s semifinal run. “I have to step up as a leader because we are so young.” SPR Review Intern Bobby Kittredge contributed to this story.

ACCUSTOMED TO COMFORTABLE wins, her supporting cast appeared prepared to leave the Saints’ faithful begging for a miracle, as its bulge grew to 17 within one minute. Rafiu, with four fouls, sought holes, but tough defense restrained her inside attempts. She dished to helpers, who deposited key scores to reduce the margin gradually. Six unanswered points brought them
The Prep Charter Lady Huskies were all smiles Friday night after defeating Neumann-Goretti to claim their first District 12 Class AAA City title. The local squad will return to Southern for Saturday’s opening round of states.
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I march 8, 2012
ahleah Copper enjoyed being the recipient of half of the hype surrounding Friday’s District 12 AAA Championship at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. A senior guard at Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., the North Philadelphian made sure the ballyhooed battle between her and Omowumi “Ki-ke” Rafiu, a senior standout for Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., kept attendees captivated and used her competitive fire to scorch chances of an upset. Her team earned a 64-60 victory to notch its first City crown, with Copper and Rafiu giving Big East basketball fans a taste of what impending collegiate contests between them should yield. The Lower Moyamensing gym teemed with anticipation, as Copper’s West Passyunk Lady Huskies and Rafiu’s East Passyunk Crossing Saints prepared to tussle for bragging rights and seeding in the PIAA AAA tournament. Having guided his ladies to a second-straight Public League title Feb. 25, seventh-year coach Paul Rieser had hoped to have a duo of delights to celebrate. “We are looking to build momentum,” he said. “This should be a solid test.” Second-year coach Stephen Skedzielewski’s 18-6 bunch, a Catholic League semifinalist, sought to sully the 24-3 favorites and looked to senior guard Maureen Fiocca to complement Rafiu, who signed with Georgetown University in November. Copper, a November Rutgers University signee, had figured to receive help from Rieser’s swift ballers. Early action featured somewhat sloppy play, as the combatants could not contain their nerves. Playing before an evenly split crowd, they began to take the severity in stride. A Prep Charter flurry erased a 1010 tie and gave Rieser’s unit a 20-12 boost after eight minutes, with Copper outscoring Rafiu six to five. Speed allowed the Lady Huskies to dic-
tate the second frame’s transitional action, but Copper, named MVP for her 19-point, 11-rebound title outburst against Central, missed six free throws. She registered four points and offered sound defense, but the opposition proved its intensity by calling on five scorers, including Fiocca and fellow senior Amanda Vassallo, who halved 10 points, to keep pace. The Saints’ 3430 halftime deficit did not dishearten Skedzielewski, who called on Rafiu to show her versatility by having her run plays far from her accustomed interior realm. “I am proud we broke their press,” he said. “We’ll look to move ‘Ki-ke’ inside, but we liked the mismatch we gained by putting her on the perimeter.” The Nigerian came out strong to start the second half, yet her eager feet resulted in two traveling calls. Her more disciplined upper body worked hard to turn a 36-33 shortfall into a 37-36 edge with 3:50 left. The Lady Huskies looked frustrated, but Copper bore the look of a beast about to pounce. The 6-foot-1 figure, who will compete in March 28’s McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago and March 31’s Women’s Basketball Coaches Association AllAmerican Game in Denver, noticed seams in her foes’ schemes and tallied her team’s first 10 points. Her athleticism rubbed off on her allies, including sophomore guard Ciera Nimmons, whose third three-pointer gave the Lady Huskies’ a 49-39 cushion. The adversaries traded buckets before the buzzer prepped them to contest the last segment with the West Passyunkers nursing a 51-41 advantage. “I was able to penetrate gaps,” Copper said of her auspicious quarter. “We broke their zone, so I had some looks.”
