The art of fleeting phone photography, all the rage for a certain generation, got a fine art upgrade that culminated in a 90� by 90� quilt that now hangs in the hallways of Southwark, a permanent reminder of the 10-week collaboration. With minimal resources available to public school art educators, these kinds of outreach programs from professional and world-renowned

arts organizations are more than welcome. “I got an e-mail and a phone call from them, and I was very excited about it,� Aaron Kalinay, a resident of the 500 block of Titan Street and the East Passyunk Crossing school’s art teacher, said. “This is stuff that, because of budgets, I woudn’t be able to do without the collaboration and the partnership.� FWM’s Onsite Studios Program brings contemporary art practices into Philadelphia public schools, encouraging creativity, team-building and collaborative communication. Through eight workshops and two field trips to the museum, 81 students were also able to touch on subjects of history, biology, chemistry and math.

According to a FWM release, “students were introduced to the history of photography with a strong focus on portraiture and documentary photography and its relevance to the digital selfie prevalent today. Students were asked to consider‌ What does a portrait say about you? How would you like to be remembered?â€? “We took the selfies here,â€? Kalinay said with a smile, and when asked if everyone takes selfies in 2015, he wasn’t so sure. “I don’t think everyone does a selfie, but I think the phone and photography is ubiquitous. Everyone is a photographer now. It’s almost become a competitive thing, like ‘Look at me and look at what I’m doing’ to one-up people.â€? SPR asked Sandy Kim Luong, of the 600 block of Sigel Street, if she

takes self-portratis much and she squirmed a little – her parents saw her phone-use as problematic. “I used to. I was using [my phone] too much, so it got taken away,� she admitted. Do you take selfies? “Yeah,� she said. All the time? “No.� She said she hasn’t even really thought of replacing her phone with a digital camera because the phone cameras make it so easy for budding photographers. “The thing about the phone is that they focus, and I can’t get that with a camera,� she said. The soon-to-be 13-year-old said the FWM experience “was pretty fun, aside from seeing my horrible face on the screen. They took a surprise ASS A3:4 >=@B@/7BA ^OUS ,,

The fan of science and music, who studies violin and cello and hopes to learn guitar and piano, has hopes for an educational future at a String Theory school or at the Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St. “Everything’s so confusing,� she added, commenting on the unwieldy public and charter system she’s navigating. She also ranked social media among her and her classmates: “First it’s Facebook, then it’s Instagram, then it’s Twitter – I hear the least about Twitter.� A RECEPTION PARTY on the third floor of the K-8 school, led by principal Andrew Lukov, allowed students from multiple grades to gawk at the giant tapestry full of bright colors. They also looped a fourminute Vimeo clip that documented the students working with large-scale screenprinting facilities, and not without the charming quirks of some seventh graders. The project, titled “Plant to Portrait: Selfie Portraiture in the 21st Century,� was funded in part by The Coby Foundation. As evidenced in the video, the student body at Southwark is quite diverse. Students from China and Mexico share classrooms with South Philly-born pupils. Their interests are as diverse as their nationalities, too: Sabrina breakdances, Adam loves soccer, Brianna reads and writes poetry, Natalya’s a budding chef and a couple boys are into Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. “Almost half of our students are English

language learners, and it’s not just English and Spanish,� Kalinay, a Pennsport resident, said, adding that their immigrant and sometimes refugee status makes them ideal art students. “It’s nice for me because teaching art is so visual and so in other classes language might be a barrier, but with us it’s not as much because it’s so visual – it’s like a language of its own, like math.� He added that succeeding in art is an opportunity for immigrant students to feel good about themselves and that an arts and crafts section in a CVS or Rite-Aid is something we take for granted, “even N 4c[] 4O[WZg 0`O\QV( Sleepy-time Stories 10 a.m. March 21; Toddler Storytime 10 a.m. March 24; Arabic Class for Children 5:30-7 p.m. March 25. 2437 S.

worked with a historical printing process and dyed the prints with natural dyes.� In fact, using four elements, they were able to dye the tapestry a wide range of hues. Using logwood for purple, weld for yellow, madder root for red and cochineal for magenta, they scandalized some seventh graders obsessed with Starbucks. Cochineal is a scale insect whose bodies yield a crimson-colored dye called carmine used in many things, including fruity drinks. “One girl started crying – I get that every day!� Parker said. “She was a little upset.� Andrea Landau was the project coordinator and can be seen in the video feeding quilt parts through a sewing machine. She noted Philadelphia is a historic home of textiles and natural dying, but for some reason, as a culture largely, we’ve been using mostly synthetics. “Somehow we’re doing the opposite now, so I think people are interested in looking back and finding sustainable ways to create some amazing colors,� Landau said. “I mean it looks like candy out there!� Fabric Workshop apprentice Joy Ude hand-stitched the portraits together for the final project in a few days time. Kalinay said that was the only thing the kids didn’t do – sew. “They were there for all the steps of the process: the dying, the boiling of the dye, the printing, the setting up of a station for the printing, they saw the exposure machinery,� he said. “The only thing that they didn’t participate in was stitching it together.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

ouglas Williams loves living in Philadelphia, marking the metropolis as a creative haven humming with hysteria for provocative material. Through Sunday, the 27-year-old playwright is presenting his latest daring text, “Moon Cave,� which focuses on the possibility of forging a fruitful future when one’s present is fraught with fear over the past. “We all enter into relationships with a certain amount of baggage,� the resident of the 1900 block of Latona Street said of a primary premise of his world premiere endeavor. “We

wonder if we’re adequate since we often have an idea of the level of our vulnerability. The question becomes ‘Will people remain committed to us once they learn certain details?’� To tackle that heavy inquiry, the Point Breeze inhabitant has crafted Richard, who has carried into adulthood childhood trauma that gained national exposure, and Rachel, played by South Philly denizen Taysha Canales. The male lead must ponder the power of trust in seeking solace, with Williams addressing the lowering of one’s guard through Azuka Theater.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity that he has given me,� the scribe said of Azuka’s producing artistic director and former South Philly dweller Kevin Glaccum. “It’s been great to grasp the trajectory of how people receive and perceive plays, which is vital to me as a creator and an appreciator of theater.� Though dealing with dark dilemmas, “Moon Cave� has the writer reveling in the levity that he and Glaccum are sharing in executing the 95-minute work. As playwright-in-residence, Williams is celebrating his second collaboration with Azuka,

B?<;IJOB;I the inaugural exposure having come with last year’s staged reading of “The Death and Life of Uncle Gene.� With additional awareness of his talent coming through Williams’ penning of “S***heads,� a finalist in last year’s Lark’s Playwrights Week and a semifinalist in 2013’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center’s National Playwrights Conference, and presence within the early-career playwright group The Foundry, Glaccum tabbed the local for the residency, resulting in a piece that he trumpets as his first true work. “It called for me to create in a different way,� Williams said of constructing his largest opus. “It feels alive and gives me a sense of pride to be able to have audiences wonder about who we all are when searching for love and acceptance. We have to recognize our impulses and go about figuring how we can reconcile any mistakes we’ve made and try hard to promote the goodness within us.� With Richard, Williams is capturing the conundrums that people can encounter when wondering if they are worthy of wonderful endowments, such as the acquisition of affection. The script calls for the character to reduce his trepidation, which

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

the playwright sees as an acknowledgment of the beauty of being confused. “We all want answers,� Williams said. “It’s problematic when we think we should be our lone sources for them.� THE INDIANA NATIVE often enlisted movies as solution providers during boyhood. When adolescence commenced, he began to make his own films and soon found himself enthralled with 1970s cinema, particularly the output of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford-Coppola. “It was amazing to discover such great stuff in high school,� Williams said of matriculating at Connecticut’s Stonington High School “I felt so engrossed in the possibility of trying to make my mark in that field.� Seeking to sign off as a resident of The Constitution State, he chose Temple University, with theater immersion eventually giving his film fascination some healthy competition. With knowledge of established works and burgeoning interest in contemporary creations, which he noted as appealing for often being “gritty and edgy,� he became a doubly discerning student, with his senior film thesis having

theatrical qualities. “I love storytelling and developed this rampant enthusiasm for seeing that played out on the stage,� Williams, whose boundless eagerness took him back to Connecticut then to New York for positions with the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center, the Manhattan Theatre Club, the Ars Nova ANT Fest and Wide Eyed Productions. “Through those opportunities, I gained amazing exposure to this world to the point where I can’t fathom abandoning it or not giving it my all.� As evidenced by his receipt of a National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts Silver Award, the ever-evolving plot hatcher has situated himself among many talented stage personnel, including numerous South Philly peers, whom he commends for establishing a great community where “everyone sees everyone’s plays.� Along with the aforementioned works, Williams has won wooers through SoLow and FringeArts festivals entries, providing even more distance between himself and his early days when he found being able to put on readings an extremely delightful occurrence. “I came to theater kind of late and had to

play catch-up in a sense,� Williams, who next month will mark another element of his evolution with the Ambler-staged “The Asbestos Project,� said. “I like that challenge and I’m valuing the rewards of sticking with it.� He counts his founding member status for Orbiter 3, a producing playwrights collective that includes South Philly residents James Ijames and Mary Tuomanen, as one such boon. The three-year initiative, according to Williams’ website, will make “inclusive, accessible theater that accepts risk, values local artists and chases the playwright’s vision.� With 50 pages of a “rough, crazy play� thus far, he will offer a work next year. “I love having the opportunity to do whatever as a member of a new company,� Williams mused. “I like stretching myself. You have to do so to make it in theater.� SPR For tickets, call 215-563-1100, or visit azukatheatre.org. Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

The feeble comments are my own.) Invention: Talking girlfriend pillow — Most men I know prefer a girlfriend who doesn’t talk when she’s lying on a pillow next to him (I know it’s sexist, but we’re dealing with the raw truth here). Science explains why men prefer curvy booties — This falls into the department of things that need no explanation. Mayor Michael Nutter proposes raising property tax to fund schools — Guess which question will be the first asked of the current mayoral hopefuls? I’m sure each one sent a “thank you� note to our current mayor for proposing a property tax increase. Mets player believes being gay is a choice — Well, we know being a Mets player is not a matter of choice. I’m thinking of a gay school teacher in Lubbock, Texas saying, “I think I’ll choose to be gay because my life would be so much easier.� Bombshell: Hillary Clinton had private e-mail account — “Bombshell� might be a bit overwrought, but then again, that’s what I thought when the Monica Lewinsky blue dress was discovered. My grandkids were surprised the White House still uses e-mail. Mount Everest covered with poop — Could be that the thought of climbing Mt. Everest is enough to make people crap their pants. Might be a good spot for a ton of portable potties. Incidentally, I want you to know that I just canceled my expedition to the top. Sorry, Sir Edmund Hillary. Louisville, Ky. smells like mildew — Maybe it’s just the new cologne University of Louisville coach Rick Pitino is using? Are the thoroughbreds complaining? I suggest airdropping a load of mothballs. Man shoots sister with a BB gun over phallic birthday cake — There are so

many questions one could ask about this headline. Did he have a license for the BB gun? Is it his real sister or step-sister? Where does one buy a phallic birthday cake? Does one ask for it by size? I could ask more questions, but this is a family newspaper. What happens when you jump into a tub of Coke Zero with Mentos? Exactly why would one jump into a tub of Coke Zero? Would the result be different if the tub were filled with another Coke product? Was the subject chewing the Mentos or merely carrying them in his or her pocket? My mother once told me that Coke could take the paint off a car (I didn’t own a car at the time). I suggest that this experiment replace the halftime entertainment at next season’s Super Bowl. Slender Man sightings reported — Like many, I thought Slender Man was a fictitious figure representing Jenny Craig. We’re wrong. Slender Man is described as a figure about eight feet tall with a chalk-white face with no features and a full set of fangs. Slender Man is said to dress all in black, replete with homburg and topcoat. Slender Man has been spotted in all the places where folks used to see UFOs — an abandoned farm in Nebraska, any highway where Richard Dreyfus is driving his pickup, rural outposts in Ukraine where even Vladimir Putin wouldn’t think of invading and a small Mexican village that heretofore was famous for only producing pitcher Fernando Valenzuela. Slender Man abandoned the forest for Bigfoot. He also abandoned the mountains for the Abominable Snowman (which may explain the poop on Mt. Everest). Bibi appears before U.S. Congress — Bibi is Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel. My first question is why don’t American presidents have cute nicknames like “Bibi?� My followup question is why is the Israeli prime minister campaigning for re-election in Washington, D.C.�? Did Bibi make a wrong turn on the way to Tel Aviv? (note the turn would be an extreme right). Did the Israel just give House Republicans the right to vote in their upcoming election? Did Bibi decide to become a candidate in the Republican Presidential Primary (and if so, how does that affect Jeb Bush’s chances?). Did Donald Trump just ask Bibi for a copy of his birth certificate? Will the Israeli Knesset invite President Barack Obama to appear and issue a rebuttal? +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/

ÂľA

erena� is a real head-scratcher of a failure, especially when one considers that buzz for the film has been building ever since the first on-set photos were leaked. Let this be a lesson for all of us: Just because two box-office superstars reunite in front of the camera for a groovy art house director, it doesn’t mean the result is going to be a rich, prestigious triumph. Having starred together in “Silver Linings Playbook� and “American Hustle� (both directed by David O. Russell), Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence team up again as George and Serena Pemberton, two lovebirds who wed at the end of the 1920s. Living in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, the Pembertons face a multitude of threats, including George potentially losing his timber business, the repercussions of his unlawful corner-cutting, Serena’s inability to bear children, and the bastard son George fathered with a kindly townswoman. From the title, one should deduce that Serena is more than she seems, and from the fools-rush-in start (George and Serena practically marry on a whim), it’s clear this woman is eerily capable of a great many things. She’s utterly unfazed by the demeaning machismo of George’s horde of workers, and as her feelings of infertile inadequacy grow, the extent of her capabilities starts to rear its hideous head. Writing this, and thinking back on the film, it seems impossible that an enterprise with such strong actors and a morethan-serviceable director could wind up falling so hard on its face. “Serena� is a consummate snooze, devoid of urgency, chemistry or palpable stakes, and it

makes its actors look as lost in the woods as the animals George hunts for sport. Lawrence has never been worse, as Serena proves the first character whose soul she can’t even slightly access (her every scene is an awkward exercise in overacting). Cooper, meanwhile, coasts through the film on autopilot, and both actors’ slip-ups reflect poorly on Susanne Bier, who has narrative pacing issues on top of neglecting to guide her stars. The story of “Serena� is somewhat interesting, but as is, it’s hardly cinematic.

Stephen Sondheim purists might gripe about what Rob Marshall did with his beloved fairy-tale musical, but all told, “Into the Woods� is a small triumph for Disney, which has been playing it far too safe with its modern fantasy. This rousing, largely enjoyable spectacle keeps the “grim� in Grimm’s fairy tales, while its standouts include Emily Blunt as the wife of a baker, and Meryl Streep as a fab, blue-haired witch. +(* Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

everal of the South Philly’s best hoagie, cheesesteak, and sandwich d stops will be back at the Mummer’s Museum for the 2nd Annual South Philly Sandwich Review on March 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. From the classics to the creative, the event will once again offer South Philly Foodies a chance to taste and debate who best fills the space between the bread. Four local celebrity judges will e have the final say in who takes home some hardware for best hoagie, best cheesesteak, top specialty sandwich and overall favorite shop. Representing the Eagles at the judging table this year will be former tackle Barrett Brooks,who is back in town as a member of the new sports talk show Breakfast on Broad airing on Comcast Sportsnet. It remains to be seen if he can top the appetite Hollis Thomas brought last year but he definitely excited.

“Having played in Philadelphia for four seasons, I was fortunate to sample food from some of the best restaurants and establishments in the country,� said former Eagles tackle Barrett Brooks. “The various food offerings in this city are simply the best. I look forward to serving as a judge at the second annual South Philly Sandwich Review and seeing all the

unique options on display.� Defending overall favorite shop Steak Em Up will be back and looking to match the success of their Bobby Chez crab cake topped burger, which took home the best specialty sandwich award in 2014. That will certainly be a challenge and they seem to be up for it. “We had a great time last year and are really excited to be back,� said owner Mike Lane. “It was fun hearing so many great things about our sandwiches from the judges and everyone there. We will bring our A game once again.� One newcomer looking to make a splash is Taproom on 19th, a spot that has quickly gained notoriety for their creative approaches to bar food. They will be giving attendees a first look at a new spring menu item, providing a unique ethnic entry into the competition. “We’re going to make Puerto Rican churrasco meat sandwiches. Chicken or Steak or Mixto,� reports owner Michael Strauss. “Meat is marinated in Recaito

(Sofrito) then grilled to order. Served on a roll with lettuce, tomato, potato sticks and ketchup-mayo� Other joints back from last year include Fat Joes, T&N Kitchen, and Dad’s Stuffing. Each spot brings their own twist on classics that are sure to fill diners up. T&N impressed last year with their cubano paesano and homemade tater tots that may have stolen the show. Dad’s Stuffing and Fat Joes know how to make a sandwich that is gigantic in size but never sacrifices tastes. Guests can also enjoy a full bar with drink specials and some music from WNJC DJ Eric A. Bartello. Raffles, giveaways and other entertainment will round out the festivities. Sponsor’s include Aversa’s Bakery, who will be on hand sampling some of their signature items and Club Metro USA.

With spring only a day away, throw open the windows, and let your interpretation of the Point Breeze inhabitant’s handiwork tempt your neighbors to find it likewise a-maize-ing. +(*

was served this way as well, adding to the restaurant’s casual tone. Soup dumplings ($7) were light-as-afeather little packages of seasoned ground pork filled with pork broth. Be careful, because the broth inside the dumplings is hot. I find it easier to take a bite from the side of the dumpling. They were uncommonly delicious. I have never tasted a jumbo soup dumpling ($7), but the bartender encouraged us to try it. One large dumpling prepared with a light handkerchief wrapper was placed in the center of a bowl filled with broth made with shrimp, coconut broth and red peppers. All we had to do was tear apart the dumpling and serve ourselves in individual bowls. I especially liked the broth because it was not sweet as some coconut broths can be. Puchowitz, who is a fine chef, enjoys mixing his Jewish heritage with Asian ingredients. Food should be fun and I liked the fun he had in creating pan-fried bao

($7). This is the closest dish I have had to an Asian knish — a round, savory, flakey pastry that is usually filled with liver, kasha, spinach or seasoned mashed potatoes. This one looks to the Jewish deli, as it was filled with pastrami and Swiss cheese.

It is an Asian Reuben. Jade dumplings ($7) could have charmed anyone from the Emerald Isle. The leeks gave the wrappers a lovely green hue. Leeks are among my favorite vegetables because they add the right touch of sweetness to any dish. The addition of shrimp made the dumplings even better. Six meaty, not-at-all-greasy chicken wings ($10) would convert anyone who constantly whines, “I am tired of wings.� They had a lovely golden sheen on the outside and were juicy inside. A touch of

hen I was growing up, my family often went to Chinatown for dinner on Sunday. Wonton soup, egg rolls, chow mein, shrimp and lobster sauce with ice cream for dessert were the usual tasty suspects. Today, we have many more options when it comes to choosing which Asian cuisine we wish to enjoy, especially in South Philly. Last month, Ben Puchowitz and Shawn Darragh opened Bing Bing Dim Sum, their much-anticipated dumpling house on East Passyunk Avenue. The two friends made their culinary mark with Cheu Noodle Bar in Center City, a friendly place to slurp bowls of noodle soup and other flavorful dishes with a simple Asian flair. Bing Bing is exactly the kind of casual restaurant the East Passyunk Crossing neighborhood needs. The place was filled to capacity on a recent Sunday. The hostess made us feel welcome and advised a 45-minute wait. She said we could eat at the bar when seats opened up. After about 10 minutes, we were fortunate to snag two spots. A glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc ($9) was a fine prelude to Asian fare. It was served in a rocks glass, which I thought was fun. A Bluecoat martini ($11)

honey was an inspiration especially when I dipped the wings into a little soy sauce. The addition of pickled jalapeno peppers and cilantro imparted a tasty play with sweet and spice. Stir-fried green beans have been a staple on Chinese menus ever since the nowshuttered Tang’s on South Street introduced Philadelphians to this dish in the late 1980s. Bing Bing’s version ($8) was a first. The beans were coated in quinoa and stir-fried with fermented garlic, which I previously never tasted. The dish was filled with flavor, although the beans were a little overcooked. I found the fried cauliflower ($8) a little on the bland side although it was prepared with shrimp salt, lemon and scallions. Service was excellent. Runners brought out piping hot dishes and offered us bowls and plates for each course. There are a number of gluten-free items on the menu. I suspect when the weather warms up, Bing Bing will offer outside seating, which will help diminish any wait time. The family-friendly restaurant does not take reservations. Three-and-a-half tips of the toque to Bing Bing Dim Sum. +(*

The Station Bar & Grill Owner: Lou Maglio Opened: August 2008 1550 McKean St. 215-467-1871

reflecting on his family’s influence and personal passion, he declared “Wow, I can do this.� The 46-year-old has made many wellreceived stops since that revelatory occasion, with The Station Bar & Grill, 1550 McKean St., occupying him for the third time. “I like to say I make magic happen here,� the resident of the 1100 block of Shunk Street said from the Newbold establishment. “It’s great to experiment and give customers some examples of my creativity, and I like being back here to do that.� The Lower Moyamensing inhabitant rejoined owner Lou Maglio’s six-year-old site Jan. 16, continuing a career that includes positions at The Union League and Devil’s Den, 1148 S. 11th St. Having “almost total autonomy� with the menu, the chef is relying on his diverse skill-set, with assistance from his relatives and

Restaurant School tutelage, to give the location’s libations delicious companions. Seeking to situate The Station Bar & Grill high on the list of must-visit-often destinations, Turrisi has called on trusted recipes, including his beloved formula for 151 Rum BBQ Wings. “It has been with me on almost every menu I have ever made,� he said of the 26-year-old favorite, which he noted dates back to his days at the now-defunct Pompano Grille, formerly Fifth and Bainbridge streets. “Because of that, everyone knows how fond I am of it.� Turrisi relayed that he considers eye appeal the main attraction of his offerings. The wings, however, prove that taste always makes for an amazing complement to a great presentation. The creator and Maglio beamed when announcing the venue will soon

opies of the South Philly Review are blowing all over the street.� “Bundles of your paper are still sitting on the corner,� “I have not received a copy of the South Philly Review in three weeks.� Loyal readers of the South Philly Review, we have heard your complaints loud and clear. Being longstanding business member of the community —68 years and counting — we take great pride in keeping the local streets and sidewalks clear of debris. Starting two weeks from today, April 2 to be exact, Donnelly Distribution will start delivering the South Philly Review in their “red, white and blue� bags. To avoid any confusion, each one will have a sticker labeled “LOOK FOR THE SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW INSIDE.� Mayoral candidate and South Philly native Jim Kenney supports the upcoming changes. “I’ve always enjoyed reading the South Philly Review. It’s a neighborhood institution, and I support their efforts to be more environmentally friendly and litter conscious,� he said. Teaming up in an effort to keep the community cleaner is an issue the South Philly Review has taken great pride in, and earned national accolades for as a result. Back in 2012, the Local Media Association awarded southphillyreview.com with second-place honors (among all daily and non-daily publications) as a result of participating in the previous year’s UnLitter Us campaign. Review staff members also were involved in its planning and execution of the South Philadelphia-wide initiative. The idea for the delivery method is the result of a recent meeting with Pennsauken, N.J.-based Donnelly Distribution. Richard Donnelly started the business out of his brother’s garage in 1976 with one customer — delivering 30,000 grocery store circulars. The company has since

transformed into one of the area’s largest distribution companies, reaching nearly 900,000 homes on a weekly basis. Another big change that should satisfy those callers who have been complaining “I haven’t seen a copy of the South Philly Review in three weeks� is the weekly circulation will be jumping from 57,000 to 76,000, and will cover all of South Philly from South Street down to Pattison Avenue, from river to river. Will the phones still be ringing every Thursday morning? Absolutely. Will some of those calls be complaints? Probably. But in the long-term, our hope is that this community-friendly initiative will turn many of those Thursday morning frustrations into joyful “thanks� for delivering the news to the right place at the right time. Like before, if there is an issue with your issue, do not hesitate to call. -By Bill Gelman

hanks to her Italian mother, Andrea Peterson knows the value of being vocal, so when she learned last week of her victory as the Naismith Trophy National Coach of the Year, the first-year leader of the girls’ basketball team at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., her reaction came as an anomaly to her and those familiar with her nature. “I was speechless,� the 30-year-old said Monday as her charges, who comprise the nation’s top team, prepared to practice. “Never in a million years would I have expected this.� Similar modesty has marked this season as an unforgettable one for the Saints, who tomorrow at noon will play for the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AA state crown at Hershey’s Giant Center. With a 29-0 mark, they will look to cap an unblemished campaign, and, according to star senior guard Ciani Cryor, they have the perfect overseer to cement their flawless slate. “Our bond is so close,� the First-Team All-Catholic said of Peterson. “I love gathering her input and using her wisdom to better myself.� The Georgia Tech University signee has served as the floor general for the East Passyunk Crossing school the last two years, with Peterson, who worked as an assistant under South Philly Review 2011 Difference Maker Letty Santarelli last season, encouraging every assist, field goal and steal. Sharing the killer instinct that one would expect from tenacious point guards, the player and coach have celebrated the vanquishing of 58 out of 59 foes, the lone defeat coming in last year’s state title tilt. “We take so much pride in representing this school and being a family,� Peterson said. “I wouldn’t change my situation for the world.� Naismith personnel lauded her commitment March 11, inciting a surplus of text messages that froze the honoree’s phone. Learning of the kudos from ath-

letic director Chalie Szydlik, she found herself rendered silent but has returned to her talkative self in evaluating the commendation. “It’s all possible because of these young women,� she said of the squad, which repeated as Catholic League champion Feb. 23 with a 50-45 triumph over Archbishop Wood and earned a third-straight City title

itant always knew hoops would help her to forge a prosperous path. Playing with brothers Joseph and Christopher as a girl, she began honing her skills, using her home as a haven for perfecting her dribbling. “My parents were worried that I would break something,� she said, laughing about how constantly Thomas and Alice

Feb. 28 via a 71-28 thumping of Imhotep Charter. “They buy in to what we’re trying to do here, and they love looking out for one another. What’s not to love about helping them to mature?� Having joined the staff through a recommendation from South Philly Review ’13 Difference Maker Lynn Oakes-West, who had familiarity with Peterson through Hoops 365, the commended coach fondly recalled her early interactions with the performers, whom she declared would win a state championship. “They looked at me as if I had five heads,� Peterson said. “I knew their potential, and it’s been so amazing to see their trust and talent put them in this position.� THE DELAWARE COUNTY native and inhab-

Peterson vented that fear. “It became my obsession and gaining experience and knowledge was on my mind all the time.� Peterson “learned a ton� suiting up for Radnor-based Archbishop Carroll High School, collecting two league titles and as many All-Catholic nods. Playing a key role for a prominent program, she attracted ample attention, deciding on St. John’s University. “Definitely a huge thrill,� she said of her New York sojourn, which included collecting a Big East Freshman of the Week accolade and helping the Red Storm to reach the National Invitation Tournament. “From there, I went to Drexel University, which was another great stop. At one point, I even led the country in assist-toturnover ratio.�

Peterson pondered extending her playing days, with overseas adventures on her mind, but circumstances kept her from continuing her career. However, based on her sports management studies, she knew she would want to instruct fellow zealots. Her fortitude found a match in Stetson University, where she landed an assistant coach gig, with film perusal a primary part of her vocation. “I love to scout teams and to know what to expect,� she said of a product of the professional stop. “That’s extended to the ladies here, too, because they appreciate that level of commitment, too.� With a fervent fascination for molding young lives, Peterson, who runs a Norwood-situated day care, knew the high school scene would likely yield numerous occasions to inspire growth within roster members and herself. “She has a great spirit,� First-Team AllCatholic and Towson University signee Sianni Martin said. “She’s like another mom to us and helps us to be confident in going hard against everyone.� “We’ve come to understand how team unity inspires personal belief and vice versa,� Peterson said. “Winning awards is great, don’t get me wrong, but at the end of the day, these girls know I have their backs, and I’m thrilled to know they have mine.� SPR

hanks to Tuesday evening’s 75-67 win over Imhotep Charter, the Neumann-Goretti boys’ basketball team will also play in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association championship game tomorrow. The defending Class AAA champion will face Catholic League foe Archbishop Carroll in an 8 p.m. tilt at the Hershey-situated Giant Center. --- By Joseph Myers

her, with a peer acting as a lookout, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The primary figure reportedly grabbed her tan Michael Kors purse, punched her and threw her to the ground before escaping with the accomplice in a gray Ford Taurus station wagon. Based on descriptions from the victim, who sustained minor injuries, detectives relayed information to police radio about the alleged offenders and their vehicle. At 5 p.m., 24th District officers observed the listed vehicle parked and occupied on a North Philly block. They held the vehicle and the female until the complainant could make an identification. Following the positive identification, they arrested Tangela Bennett, charging the 31-year-old with criminal conspiracy, assault, theft, recklessly endangering another person and robbery. She had not posted her $15,000 bail as of press time and awaits an April 2 preliminary hearing. A detailed description of the male accomplice was unavailable as of press time.

The two engaged in an argument, with the victim claiming the offender pushed him to the ground, held him there and began to punch his head and face. The complainant’s spouse observed the matter and informed the alleged aggressor that she would be calling authorities, which led to his escape. Officers arrived and went to the reported attacker’s home on the 1900 block of South Camac Street, where they arrested John Diarenzo. The complainant received transport to Methodist Hospital and then to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for treatment of a possible brain injury.

A man assaulted a woman in attempting to acquire her phone. The complainant was walking on the 700 block of South 13th Street at 11:40 p.m. March 9 when she stopped to inspect her iPhone 6. An unknown figure approached her and grabbed the device, leading to a brief struggle from which she was able to break free, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The male punched her in the mouth and tackled her to the ground, where another clash commenced. When the victim, who suffered minor swelling to her lip and abrasions to her knees that did not require immediate medical attention, began to yell, the attacker ran off empty-handed on 13th Street. She described him as black, 6 foot to 6-foot-2 and in his early 20s; having a light complexion, big eyes, thick eyebrows and short black hair twisted into dreadlocks; and wearing a gray hoodie.

he tagline on the Passyunk Square Civic Association (PSCA) flier for its annual Art Auction is “Eat, drink, and be artsy.� And you’ll do just that if you attend Friday night’s festivities at Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St., where civic president Pam Zenzola and the event committee chair Lindsey Scannapieco have culled nearly 30 artists and nearly a dozen sponsoring businesses to make it memorable. The auction takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. and with a $10 advanced ticket ($15 at the door), attendees will get to peruse the work of exclusively South Philly artists’ work, graze piles of donated food and sip beer and wine. Last year the auction took place at the civic’s regular meeting destination, Annunciation BVM Church, 1511 S. 10th St. This year, they’re thrilled to be in the big black box inside Theatre Exile on the corner of Columbus Square Park. “We’re back! A church hall versus a theater? There’s a different ambiance. It’s perfect for what we want to do,� Zenzola, a resident of the 1300 block of Federal Street, said. The Passyunk Square leader was thrilled to disclose that, with this auction, they’ve made a new connection in a neighborhood sponsor – Pat’s King of Steaks, 1237 E. Passyunk Ave. “I’m excited about building that relationship,� she said. For one of their biggest fundraisers of the year, the team behind the event hopes to raise as much as $5,000 for neighborhood improvement efforts. Zenzola says they try to go bigger and get better every year with this event but also with community partnerships. “Each year we make some improvements or build upon [our events] and one of the biggest things that we’re trying to do in the last few years, on the board and in the community, is outreach. [We’re] building as many community partners as we can,� she said. “We want [Passyunk Square to be] the best neighborhood in the city.� Food partners for the event include El Zarape, 1304 S. Ninth St.; ACME Market, 1400 E. Passyunk Ave.; Bitar, 947 Federal St.; the Vegan Commissary, 1703 S. 11th St.; Paradiso, 1627 E. Passyunk Ave.; Termini Brothers, 1523 S. Eighth St.; and Iannellis Bakery, 1155 E. Passyunk Ave. Beer is being provided by Yards Brewery, and wine’s being provided by Stogie Joe’s, 1801 E. Passyunk Ave. Live music will come courtesy of Ron Bauman from Connie’s Ric Rac, 1132 S. Ninth St.

“Our hopes are having a packed house with great food, drinks, live music and most importantly, lots of art sales,� Scannapieco, a new resident in the area and the leader of Scout Ltd., LLC, the development company that’s bring the Bok School building, 1901 S. Ninth St., back to life, reported. “This is a critical event to supporting all the incredible work of the local civic so every dollar raised counts.� “I’VE ALWAYS TAKEN photographs since I was 12,� Bob Moysan, half of the team behind Noord, 1046 Tasker St., said. He and his husband, Joncarl Lachman, opened the restaurant in May 2013. “About 10 years ago I started to sell some of my work, and it’s built and built over the last decade,� Moysan, showing two works on Friday night, “Family of Four� and “It Begins,� said. The couple moved to South Philly form Chicago, where they had two restaurants, but Passyunk Square’s proven exceptionally welcome. Before the restaurant opened, before they’d even renovated the space and it was still an apartment, Moysan and Lachman held an informational meeting for the neighborhood so they could start to earn local trust. “We wanted to do this presentation for the neighborhood and introduce ourselves and say ‘This is what’s happening’ – we were welcomed with open arms,� Moysan said. “Pam Zenzola was at that meeting and was able to charm some of the neighbors who were not necessarily thrilled with another restaurant coming into the neighborhood.�

The duo are opening a new spot, too, on the 900 block of South Ninth Street, “it’ll be a Parisian-style bistro with a North African influence,� Moysan reported. They’re targeting a summer opening. Moysan shows his work at the restaurant, especially in the bathroom, something he’ll do in the new place, too. “I use our restaurant bathrooms, even in Chicago, that’s my little gallery – it’s a captive audience,� he explained. “I sell maybe two or three pieces a month out of the bathroom. It works out.� The photographer, whose beautiful black and white portrait of snowy trees along the Lake Michigan shore will be available for purchase on Friday night, was even contributing work to the PSCA Art Auction before they had moved to Philly, shipping prints from Chicago to Passyunk Square. “I was super-excited to get involved in the association and with this event in particular,� Moysan gushed. “We can’t imagine living anywhere else. We love it, we absolutely love it.� Mural artist David Guinn, a resident of the 1100 block of Cross Street, is donating work, too. The part-time Moore College of Art and Design professor and Mural Arts Program artist grew up in Center City and has painted murals for La Colombe and private clients. He’s currently at work on MAP murals for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and at 20th and Sansom streets. The McCall Elementary, Masterman Middle School, Central High and Columbia University alum works with geometric shapes. “A number of the murals I’ve painted have a geometric style, so for the Art Auction it’s a figure rendered geographically,� Guinn said. As for Passyunk Square, where he’s lived for three years, “I love it, I really do. It’s awesome. I’m glad to [donate art] – I love the neighborhood and I like Pam and I’m excited to be a part of it.� The money raised will go primarily towards neighborhood improvements. “We explain to everyone participating that funds from the auction go to support improving the neighborhood,� says Scannapieco. Zenzola said, six years ago, on her walk from her house to her niece’s, she used to see “every single sewer grate was filled. Now it’s the exception, not the rule. Trash begets trash and clean begets clean,� the clean-minded civic leader said. “One of our biggest initiatives has been trash. The neighborhood’s been promoting [cleanups] – let’s clean it up, gang.� Last year, Zenzola wasn’t sure about restricting the artists showing work at the auction to South Philadelphians. But her team had to set her straight. “‘You really don’t know, do you, Pam?’�peers asked. “Throw a stick outside of your house, and you’ll hit an artist,� she joked. “We definitely have enough artists in the neighborhood.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.
