If you’re looking for a consensus in America these days, it’s that a good many Democrats and Republicans dislike their leading candidates for President. We have known for a long time that Hillary Clinton is disliked by a significant number of white males and not as popular as we once thought with white female voters either.

To the Editor: In your March 3 list of South Philadelphians whom you wish you could have met (“Incessant influence�), the towering figure in your list of 10 names is Mario Lanza. Your mention of Marian Anderson with praise from Toscanini as having a voice “one hears once in a hundred years� is appreciated, although one could say, with all due respect, the voice of comedienne Joan Rivers may also be heard as “once in a hundred years.� Toscanini said of Mario Lanza that he possessed “the greatest voice of the 20th century.� Contrasting high art with politics highlights the perversions and selfishness among public officials. There is not one public building (city wide) with Mr. Lanza’s name inscribed on the edifice. However, in South

Philadelphia, we do have, in alphabetical order, the Thomas F. Donatucci Sr., Fumo Family, and Charles Santore branches of the Free Library - all, without shame, Italian Americans. Nearly six decades after his death, the name of Mario Lanza still shines as that of an international star. On the other hand, naming something after fathers of local politicians (in comparison to Mr. Lanza’s magnificent contributions to civilization) is built on cultural depravity and sleaze. On a positive note, the former South Philadelphia Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia is scheduled to open in June 2016 at Broad and Morris streets. However, the naming of “South Philadelphia� has been dropped by the ruling class to only “Free Library of Philadelphia.� Perhaps renaming it the “Mario Lanza Branch of the Free Li-

BW[S b`OdSZ To the Editor: I am in total agreement with the Feb. 25 letter entitled “Building frustration.� I believe there was a time in Philadelphia when any new housing had to be accompanied by off-street parking, preferably in the rear of a building so as not to take up a parking space on the street side. Now, I, too, have noticed that new buildings do not even come close to the amount of parking versus the amount of housing units. Some new structures have NO offstreet parking available. It seems as if the developers have gotten to our elected officials and the rules have changed. As a long-time resident and a long-time driver, I have seen where street parking spaces have become more scarce as new residents move into old houses where former residents did not have cars. That can’t be helped; however, to make matters worse by building new housing without enough off-street parking only exacerbates the parking situation. The idea that long-time city residents don’t need cars does not take into consideration that some people cannot walk far and/or cannot use public transportation. The City should represent the needs of ALL Philadelphians, not just the new people locating in old neighborhoods. Rose DiLiberto South Philadelphia

Students have been hard at work all year, and it’s time for some well-deserved recognition. Before the words “summer vacation� start echoing through hallways, the South Philly Review and the Young Chances Foundation are looking to recognize the Rising Stars —some of the top performers in grades K through 12. Principals, guidance counselors, teachers, and community members – it’s your job to make sure your worthy candidates make the nomination list. Nominees must be from South Philadelphia or attend a school in the 19145, 19146, 19147 or 19148 zip codes. Being a straight-A student or valedictorian is a strong point, but not the only criteria we will consider. Maybe your student has made a dramatic academic turnaround since the first semester or overcome a personal hardship. We also want to hear about the talented individuals who excel in the classroom as well as numerous extracurricular activities. It can be anything from athletics to school clubs to volunteer work. Nominations can come through e-mails to editor@southphillyreview.com, hand-written submissions addressed to South Philly Review, 2448 S. 12th St., Philadelphia, PA 19148, or faxes to 215-336-1112. Visit southphillyreview.com/newsbriefs to view the nomination form. The submission deadline is noon May 5th, with the winners appearing in our special June 2nd issue. “This is Philadelphia. Whenever our teams make it, we always think they’re going to win because we live in a sports city. I hope they do it.� Fareed Khaber, Mount Airy

t 7:45 p.m. Monday, a Standard Parking hire stated she was working Gate A at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., when an unknown figure approached her from behind and stuck something in her back, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She shoved him away, yet the individual reportedly dug the item, which the victim believes could have been a gun, into her back and barked “Just give it up.� She complied by giving the man approximately $8,040. Officers on mounted patrol were working a detail at the entertainment venue when learning of the robbery. A witness point out a running man to them, leading them to stop Kwame Grove. Following positive identification by the worker, they detained the 25-year-old Southwest Philly resident, recovering a weapon but no cash. They charged him with robbery, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, firearms violations, possession of an instrument of crime, and simple assault. He had not posted his $250,000 bail as of press time and awaits an April 12 preliminary hearing.

Two men teamed to assault and rob another male in Point Breeze. Walking along the 1600 block of Federal Street at 6:40 a.m. Saturday, the complainant heard two figures approaching him from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Turning to see them, he suffered a blow to the head from a handgun, leading him to fall to the ground. The criminals went through his pockets and took his SEPTA transpass, five tokens, and $320 before fleeing westbound on Federal Street. The complainant described them as black, with the first being in his late 20s, 5-foot-10, and thin; having light skin and a goatee; and wearing a black hoodie and dark jeans; and the second as being in his late 20s; having a medium complexion; and wearing the same clothing.

Police are searching for the perpetrator(s) of a shooting that had them establish two crime scenes. Responding to the 2200 block of Point Breeze Avenue for a person-with-a-gun report at 11:08 p.m. March 22, authorities located the complainant suffering from a gunshot wound to the buttocks, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They transported him to Presbyterian Hospital and went on to set up investigations on the aforementioned block and the 2100 block of Marston Terrace. In the former, they determined a projectile had gone through the first-floor window of a residence and had come to rest in the living room,

causing no injury to the occupants. Another object had also ventured through a first-floor window at the second address and had become lodged in a door frame. Law enforcement officials went on to recover additional ballistics evidence on the 2200 block of South 28th Street. The complainant said he had been walking from a food store on the 2800 block of Jackson Street when he heard several gunshots. He soon felt his leg go numb yet continued to run, finally resting on the 2700 block of Cantrell Terrace. Video surveillance caught the incident, but as of press time, authorities had not released any images and had no description of the shooter(s).

Authorities are looking to find three teenagers who robbed fellow adolescents in Bella Vista. Taking an 8:31 p.m. report March 19, police officers headed to the 800 block of South Darien Street, learning from the complainants a pair of unknown figures approached them and demanded their property to avoid a conflict, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, with the strangers threatening to stab them for noncompliance. Seeing no weapon yet being sensible, the victims parted with an iPhone 5c and $11. They noted the offenders fled on skateboards on Catharine Street and described the first as black, 14 to 15 years old and 5-foot-4; and wearing a black hat and jacket and red sneakers; the second as black, 14 to 15 years old, and 5-foot-10; and wearing a light blue hoodie, a white and blue hat, gray sneakers, and black pants; and the third as white, 13 to 14 years old, and short; and wearing a white hat, a black coat, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

A cab driver ended up assaulted in Hawthorne. At 2:04 a.m. March 23, police responded to a person-with-a gun radio call on the 800 block of South Broad Street and learned the complainant had just exited the Dunkin’ Donuts and asked four unknown black males to move away from his vehicle, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When he returned to the establishment, they followed him, eventually asking for him to come back outside, where one figure struck his right elbow with a bottle. Another asked for money, with the motorist’s refusal leading a third individual to pull out a black semi-automatic handgun. He dialed 911, leading the offenders to flee westbound on Catharine Street. Details descriptions, unfortunately, of the perpetrators were not available as of press time. Call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

7) Mural dedication: Last Aug. 1, I went to the Walnut Street Bridge for the unveiling of The Phillies Mural, an eight-foot-high tribute to the 133-year-old team. Hearing great speeches, meeting Steve Carlton, and inspecting the wonderful artwork, I felt very proud to call myself a fan, no matter if I am not a die-hard one. 6) Philabundance celebration: In July 2011, I covered a Philabundance celebration at Citizens Bank Park, meeting thenace Roy Halladay and former catching great Darren Daulton (more on him later). Setting foot on the field filled me with fascination and even an urge to face a few fastballs from Halladay. I am sure three would have proven enough for him to sit me down. 5) 1993 World Series run: Having seen BAD baseball from 1989 to ’92, I adored the ’93 club and thought that once it defeated Atlanta in the National League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays would prove no match for Jim Fregosi’s charges. Thanks, Joe Carter, you killjoy. 4) 2008 World Series victory: A truly exciting bunch, the 2008 Phillies captivated our city, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays to win the World Series on Oct. 29. I walked to Broad and Oregon that night to watch the expressions of utter pride and complete relief, loving that the team had secured the city’s first major pro sports title in 25 years! 3) 2008 World Series parade: The celebration for their victory occurred on a gorgeous Halloween afternoon. Being employed in Center City then, I saw the beginning of the celebration and walked home among the revelers since the Broad Street Line was not running. Rarely have I ever felt more pride to live in this city, well, the massive amounts of litter aside! 2) My first game with my mother: My mom noticed immediately how enthused I had become for baseball, so three months into my genesis as a fan, she decided to take me to a game for the first time. Early into the action, Daulton hit a foul ball that she came oh-so-close to catching. For that and his looks, he became her favorite, and I told him that when meeting him in 2011. Dutch certainly enjoyed that tale. 1) My first game with my son: Nicholas caught coverage of last year’s home opener and stated he wanted to see a game as soon as possible. Six days later, he had his wish, and I received a permanent reminder that this is a game that makes us all young at heart. Play ball!

hose who know me well might look at the title of this column and think I have gone mad. After all, my preferred team dons red socks and calls Boston home, but since I turned 10 in 1989, I, as a lifelong City of Brotherly Love occupant, have somewhat rooted for the Phillies and have experienced ample disappointment and sporadic joy in looking for them to be diamond demolishers. As this year’s club prepares for Monday’s season opener in Cincinnati, I felt it appropriate to recall my top 10 Philliesinfused experiences. 10) Mike Schmidt’s retirement: A month into my following the team, Mike Schmidt, long the face of the franchise, decided to retire four months shy of his 37th birthday. I immediately wondered how I would continue to grow in my adoration for them minus the third baseman, whose 500th career home run I had seen video footage of two years prior and who immediately became my favorite for how he rejoiced upon blasting it (Do yourself a favor, and listen to Harry Kalas’s call of the shot. You will have instant goosebumps.), but I still am fond of the Fightin’ Phils. 9) Get in the Game tournament at South Bowl: Last April, I went to South Bowl for the Get in the Game tournament that the Phillies hold to help to sustain Philadelphia Futures. Spending three hours with roster members and participants, I grew in my admiration for the club as a philanthropic power and increased my respect for catcher Carlos Ruiz, the evening’s host. 8) Terry Mulholland’s no-hitter: On Aug. 15, 1990, hurler Terry Mulholland, pitching against his former team, the San Francisco Giants, threw the first no-hitter in the history of Veterans Stadium and would have had a perfect game if not for an error from third baseman Charlie Hayes. I had been fated to go to that game, but something that I cannot recall kept me from attending. What might have been!

Now, that amount is closer to a salary of $45,000. However, that lowered individual salary rate will take place in the next wave of LOOP applications in ’23 and ’24. Beth McConnell, the policy director at the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations (PACDC), helped us understand what LOOP is all about and how it’s important as the AVI assessments corrected a long-needed set of property evaluations. “We’re correcting our property tax system and in correcting an inherently unfair and outdated tax system, a lot of people were really socked by AVI,� the resident of the 2000 block of South Darien Street explained. “What AVI was meant to do was correct for three things: one, we had not assessed property values citywide in decades; two, when you looked at how properties were assessed, there was a lot of confusion – some were way under- and over-assessed; and three, we had to get rid of this weird policy of only taxing 30 percent of your property.� She added, “in order to be eligible for LOOP, your property tax assessment had to triple or more from the year 2013 to 2014,� which McConnell said affected “a fairly

large amount of people. It was created in 2013 as part of the rollout and implementation of AVI with the understanding that AVI and gentrification was socking people.� “I AM HAPPY that the finance committee favorably recommended Bill No. 160012, which will extend Longtime Owner Occupants Program benifts beyond the original 10-year period for as long as the eligible homeowner lives in the property,� 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson said in a statement. “We must provide tax relief to long-term residents in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. Philadelphia is developing into a global destination city, which is exciting. We must ensure that longtime residents are not left behind, so that the families who have been here for generations are able to stay.� Some other requirements for eligibility require that the longtime-owner or occupant has lived in the home since July 1, ’03; that the home is either a single family or multi-unit property with no more than three residential unites and one commercial unit; that the property has not received a tax abatement; and that the applicant is not default or delinquent on current tax dues.

ity Council read and passed Bill number 160012 March 17, and Mayor Jim Kenney signed it Tuesday – the legislation extends and reopens the Long Term Owner-Occupancy Program (LOOP), protecting long-term residents from skyrocketing property assessments that come coupled with escalating tax rates. The program was initiated and offered in conjunction with the Actual Value Initiative (AVI), which took place in the 2014 tax year and prompted the Office of Property Assessment (OPA) to reconsider the city’s raising property values. Twenty or 30 years ago, who would have guessed that one’s house at 18th and Carpenter streets would go from a worth of $50,000 to $500,000 – and that taxes would go from $500 a year to $5,000? The LOOP program offers relief for folks, especially those on a fixed income, who are needlessly pushed out of their neighborhoods or lifetime homes because of a rapidly improved real estate market. “My district has the most LOOP participants in the city,� 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla told SPR. “We think it protects them and enables them to stay in their homes. What would we do if we have 6,000, 7,000 people not being able to pay their taxes? Do you put them up for Sheriff’s Sale? Do you just not collect it and people fall into delinquency?� Initially, there was room for $20 million in the City’s budget for LOOP participants – only about $18 million was grabbed. “What this does is the people who were eligible for the program in 2013 and somehow did not know about it or didn’t apply – they now would be able to apply and get in the program but only for the remaining years. So if they didn’t apply, they have seven years left,� Squilla said. The LOOP program lasts for 10 years and freezes a property’s value at its pre-AVI value hike. After the 10 years is up, homeowners can reapply. But this new legislation also lowers the income eligibility from 150 percent of area median income to 80 percent. Originally, the legislation dictated that, say for an individual, one could make up to approximately $85,000 annually and still be eligible for LOOP participation.

As McConnell put it, it’s that abatement part that can seem particularly cruel in the sense that those who have lived in a neighborhood for 40 or 50 years can watch a 10year tax-abated new construction home go up on their block while their tax rate gets higher and higher with no break. LOOP protects long-term homeowners from having to decide between staying in their house and eating right, affording medicines or transportation. “Watching someone come in with a 10year tax abatement – that can sting,� McConnell said. “The City is looking at programs like LOOP as a way to build some more equity into the property tax system in light of the fact that we give heavy subsidies to new construction or significant improvements.� Squilla is well aware of this, as well. “The LOOP bill is like a gentrification bill that’s a reverse 10-year tax abatement – we saw that abatement was spurring development, and that was great for the city and we’re getting high rates on the houses when they come out of their abatement, but then there were people who were longtime homeowners paying the brunt of the taxes,� he explained. The abatements, enticing to developers, “don’t work in every area, even where there’s abatements there’s no development,� he noted. And in South Philly, “amazingly, it’s really booming. I think it’s a good sign and we have a lot of young people in the city, and we have to do a lot of work to keep them here. We don’t want to grow too fast.� He’s seen the boom in his district, too, in sections of Northern Liberties, Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond. But in areas like Pennsport, Point Breeze, and East Passyunk Avenue, residents are, seemingly, suffering the most from gentrification and displacement. “I think the LOOP program is a very important way to build a more equitable city by allowing people to remain in their neighborhoods as they improve,� McConnell said. “And it’s important to know that there’s help out there.� To read more about eligibility, go to phila.gov/loop.

BERN continued from page 1 wanted to do Bernie Sanders,â€? Price, a Fishtown resident, said. “We had just heard about him and had seen his speeches online and believed everything he says.â€? The Brooks Bell-executed mural references the peace symbols of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the text that reads “Without People You’re Nothingâ€? recalls Clash lead singer Joe Strummer. Fishman signed autographs while Sanders campaign volunteers attempted to register folks to vote. Before heading to North Bowl, he posed with the Sweettooth staff in front of Bell’s mural. Sitting at a small table on Bainbridge Street outside the shop, Pennsport resident Dianne Mayer said “one of the big things I don’t like is the money that’s spent on our military.â€? She and her friend sat with their Sanders 2016 signs while gusty winds blew magnolia petals about. “I’d like to see the tax burden spread more evenly,â€? she went on, “I like his honesty and he takes the high road – it’s not about dirty politics with him.â€? Dan Creskoff, the owner of CineMug, 1607 S. Broad St., a cafĂŠ and DVD rental spot, has hosted a couple Democratic debate viewing parties and, on Sunday night, welcomed Fishman, as well. “I think he’s bringing a lot of ideas that aren’t usually talked about in politics and things that politicians don’t usually want to think too much about. I think he’s refreshing and passionate, and I think that resonates with people,â€? Creskoff, of Broad and Dickinson streets said, but noted that his shop sees mostly younger patrons. “That newness and freshness of Bernie resonates with a lot of young people,â€? he says, and responded as a small business owner to criticisms of his support for the candidate with “I think it’s important and I like his message, so I think it’s worth pushing for him.â€?

Bernie Sanders’ South Philly presence – the resident of the 2600 block of South Darien Street is an official DNC delegate for Sanders and heads up volunteer efforts at the new East Passyunk Crossing office. She first heard about the candidate last June at a meeting of a group called the Democratic Socialists of America. One of the group members had a mother who worked for the senator in Vermont, so they had a small jump on his announcement to run. They started coordinating efforts on the Temple campus and at LOVE Park, and held events like Beers for Bernie. “I kind of jumped in headfirst,� the legal office manager and Marconi West resident said. “I always thought he would last this long. In the beginning, it was a lot of optimism and now it’s a combination of optimism and pragmatism. Now he has a chance, he can do this and we can do this with him – it’s changed very quickly.� Her enthusiasm may be spurred by his primary wins on March 22 (Idaho and Utah) and March 26 (Alaska, Hawaii and Washington). At print, Sanders has approximately 1,004 delegates pledged to Hillary Clinton’s 1,243, excluding superdelegates. Superdelegates, of course, have been the ire of many Sanders’ supporters protestations – a fluid vote pledge from established politicians and office-holders, many are believed to go to Clinton. “I think the whole superdelegate thing is not very well explained, and I think that’s purposeful because politicians benefit from their populace not knowing what’s really going on,� Mcillmurray, who believes the superdelegate system benefits a two-party system, said. She said there are already plans in the works if, as a worst-case scenario, Sanders seems to win the primary-pledged delegates but not the nomination come July, there will be protests. “If [Sanders] somehow wins but it’s stolen from him, there’s already marches in the works, but we’re hoping for the best case scenario,� Mcillmurray explained. “I think the DNC is focused on maintaining the status quo.� Meanwhile, at 22nd and Catharine, across

from the Graduate Hospital Ultimo Coffee, 2149 Catharine St., Max Glass had an empty property he owned and decided he wanted to take a note from Sweettooth and create his own Sanders mural, which went up earlier this month. Now, a 67-foot wide by 30-feet tall mural, he says, is pushing the candidate into popular conversation surrounding politics. The young developer, who studied at the University of Pennsylvania, believes there’s a “deep media bias against this man – we need to be big and vocal and unafraid in supporting this man for President. He’s a popular candidate and the media would have you believe otherwise.� Glass admits that an aspect of painting this huge mural on an empty shell is that he is looking forward to demolishing the empty

shell when a proper operator comes along: “It’s somewhat childish, I’ve always wanted to have a mural on a building prior to it being demolished.� He developed the Ultimo building and he says his mixed-community neighbors thank him because it used to be a drug corner. Now, he says, a corner he’s worked on for years has become a hotbed for political discussion. “People stop and they have a real conversation about this candidate or Hillary or Trump,� Glass said. “Many people walk by and say ‘Who’s that?’ and that’s a huge disadvantage for him.� SPR

sues, the 34-year-old is experiencing “a career highlight,� playing three roles for the Wilma Theater’s much-praised production of “An Octoroon,� a play that regards race as a tireless topic from which to engender compassion while also pondering how courageously creative outlets contribute to the larger discussion. “It’s simply an electric endeavor,� the resident of the 1500 block of South Camac Street said of the merger of Dion Boucicault’s 1859 antebellum melodrama and playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ nod to what a Wilma release tabs “a 21st-century sensibility.� “We could easily fall prey to our singular inclinations about society and our roles in it, but this play encourages us to do so much more. There are images, lines, and moments that blindside you and force you to say how you feel about something on a dime.� The Passyunk Square occupant noted the brainchild, with direction by fellow South Philadelphian Joanna Settle, has numerous tracks that analyze a panoply of theatrical devices and themes, with his presenting patrons with a section of history that people often ignore, the time steeped in reliance on blackface. Combining comedy and drama, the plot, which features, among others, locals Taysha Canales, James Ijames, Campbell O’Hare, and Ed Swidey, concerns a slave master’s attraction to a one-eighth

B?<;IJOB;I black female, the titular figure, and what, if anything, could come of his affection. Tasked to pull off a highly physical presence, Jain also enjoys the emotional mileage that the work is adding to his journey and that of the observers. “There are so many layers to this,� he said of the “equally hilarious and moving, subversive and provocative� production running through April 10. “It perfectly fits with my mission as a theater artist to involve myself in projects that help to evolve American theater and consider deep political, societal discourse’s value to all of us. This is event-drive theater and goes a long way to answering inquiries on why we’re producing something and what the legacy can be of what we’re saying.� Abounding in elements that will inspire guttural reactions throughout, the two-hour, 15-minute opus also helps Jain to castigate the marginalization of theater, with the actor feeling that at such a tumultuous time in our collective lives, nobody should shun the thought that theater could prove a durable boon. “I dislike that I’ve heard that theater is only really meant for certain audiences because they’re the ones who will truly get the meaning of a show,� he said. “We’ve reached a

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

point where theater has to do more but not at the expense of forgetting its educational identity. We need to have more people at the table and different voices expressing their ideas. Something like ‘An Octoroon,’ it’s not shying away from confronting what we let into our lives in shaping our identities. Because of that and the excellent cast and crew, this show is finding me so thrilled to be in this profession. It’s daring and unrelenting.� THOSE ADJECTIVES MATCH the temperament of the 11-year South Philly inhabitant, who discovered as a University of the Arts registrant that he would need to create opportunities to craft a theater-artist career. Hailing from Florida, where he also engaged in dance, he came to consider emphasizing his voice over his limbs thanks to the chance to escape into a different personality and identity when acting. “People took a chance on me in high school, and I realized I wanted to do this for the rest of my life,� the Sunshine State native said of his epiphany. “There was something exciting about having the gumption to give it a go as an artistically-minded individual, and I’m absolutely amazed at the amount of wonderful people I’ve met along the way, particularly in

this city.� Feeling safe and welcome in Philadelphia, which he dubbed “a community of makers,� Jain has found the metropolis a magnificent expanse through which he can sate urges to tend to the work of others and pen and perform his own material. Also an educator, with the Wilma and his alma mater among his benefactors, he feels his ilk should continue to stress that each day offers opportunities to strengthen one’s involvement with various disciplines, with those fields, and not bank accounts and egos, as the chief beneficiaries. “I love adding new experiences, but I’m doing so to remind people how wonderful this life can be,� Jain beamed of his vocational passion, which includes company membership with the alternative comedy troupe The Berserker Residents. “If you’re truly going to make it in this walk of life, I think that has to be your stance because there’s far more at stake than a paycheck.� In keeping with such stances, the thoughtful figure focuses on inclusivity through participation in the Philadelphia Asian Performing Artists, which includes former South Philadelphian Bi Jean Ngo and present resident Rupal Pujara, and involvement with the Wilma’s HotHouse Company, through which

he and many South Philly dwellers, including his “An Octoroon� castmates, workshop material and train together, endowments that he lauds as proof that the entity “really loves taking care of its artists.� Thankful to work for the Center City-situated space under the direction of Settle, whom he considers a game-changer for local theater, Jain is looking to maximize the remainder of the run as yet another reminder of his good fortune, which includes his nearly two- year marriage to husband Adam. “It’s great to have a voice in this comforting community,� he said. “The question becomes ‘What are you going to do with it’? I’m poised to grow with every chance that I can and ponder who I am as a 21st-century citizen of this country. I love that ‘An Octoroon’ is part of that trek.� SPR

Stephen E. Reznak, M.D.

Stephen E. Reznak, M.D. M.L.A., who practiced neurology in south Philadelphia, retires after 45 years of service to the South Philadelphia community. Dr. Reznak was born near Red Bank, New Jersey, and attended Seton Hall University before entering medical school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. While studying, he worked at Boys Town in Omaha. Following graduation, Dr. Reznak interned at the coveted Philadelphia General Hospital. Soon after he completed his internship, he enlisted in the United States Navy and was assigned as physician for a destroyer squadron of ten ships leaving for Vietnam. He witnessed heavy battle during the Tet Offensive, while his squadron was stationed near Hanoi. The main destroyer, which he was assigned to, at the time, was hit with heavy artillery ďŹ re and sustained casualties. Following his return from Vietnam he obtained a residency in neurology at Temple University Hospital, studying with renowned neurologist Dr. Gunnar Haase. He joined the staff of Methodist Hospital in 1971 and began his career practicing general clinical neurology. He received two

awards for teaching excellence. His commitment to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital included involvement on various boards as well as teaching medical students and interns. Everyone who encountered Dr. Reznak always thought highly of him. Dr. Reznak is a member of The Philadelphia County Medical Society, The American Academy of Neurology and a Fellow of The College of Physicians in Philadelphia. Dr. Reznak, in his free time, attended the University of Pennsylvania and completed a Masters of Liberal Arts degree in 1995. He studied with renowned scholar Hennig Cohen, who was nationally known as the premier authority on Herman Melville. Cohen was so impressed with Dr. Reznak’s work; he commented that he would have loved for Dr. Reznak to have been one his Ph.D students. Dr. Reznak is married with two sons and two grand-children. He resides in Wynnewood, PA and Stone Harbor, New Jersey. He will be sorely missed by his patients and colleagues.

f you’re looking for a consensus in America these days, it’s that a good many Democrats and Republicans dislike their leading candidates for President. We have known for a long time that Hillary Clinton is disliked by a significant number of white males and not as popular as we once thought with white female voters either. Indeed, if not for the loyalty of African-Americans in these primaries, Clinton would be losing the nomination to a 74-year-old self-styled Democratic Socialist named Bernie Sanders. While Sanders has been an earnest and energetic campaigner, his “revolutionary� agenda is almost a banal duplicate that is trotted out every four years by the American Left. It is no wonder then that Bernie’s base consists of many youthful voters. At least the wish list is new to them. I would hazard a guess the promise of free tuition at public universities and forgiveness of their college loans is the bauble that mostly grabs them. With Hillary, she is an example of the candidate who has been on the public scene too long and carries the baggage not only of her own tenure as Secretary of State, but that of her husband’s presidency, where, as Christopher Hitchens once put it, he turned the White House into a “massage parlor.� It seems Clinton is perpetually under investigation, and it leaves some Democratic voters wondering whether simultaneously with winning the nomination, she will also be indicted. Perhaps that is what fuels Sanders hopes as he promises to ride this horse all the way to the Democratic Convention. It was Barack Obama who contemptuously told Hillary during one of their debates in 2008, “you’re likeable enough.� Despite her flaws, Hillary leads by a wide margin as we slog through the endless primary season because she is arguably the most experienced and knowledgeable of the five remaining candidates. It may also be a sign that we as voters have matured and no longer feel the need to choose our president by whether we would like to share a beer (or a white wine spritzer) with him or her. No doubt among her shifting positions she has made mistakes in the past during her political career (Hillary’s political career must, in any fair account, include her tenure as First Lady when she was in charge of developing a national health care system that failed to get through Congress). However, if we have matured as an electorate, the presence of Donald Trump as the lead-

Valerie Morrison

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

ing contender for the Republican nomination surely belies that hope. He, like Hillary (perhaps the only time that you will ever read that phrase in a sentence), is disliked by a disproportionate share of his own Republican Party. Trump, through the shallowness of his own candidacy, has also proved the shallowness of his supporters. He is truly an example of a person who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. The Republican establishment, asleep for the months that Trump built his lead in delegates, now scurries around like the crew on the Titanic to try to stop him. It seems at this moment as if their attempts will end with them all playing Leonardo DiCaprio being tossed into the sea. At least Leonardo had Kate Winslet to mourn him. Conservatives act as if end times is upon them, as if they have found a moth hole in their Harris Tweeds. Meanwhile, evangelicals flock to Trump while still believing Obama is the anti-Christ. An astonishing 61 percent of Trump’s supporters still believe Obama is a Muslim. Trump’s rallies turn into fascist displays of violence visited upon protesters, the sucker punch being the weapon of choice. It’s not as if Republican voters didn’t have a choice for lack of candidates. Imagine starting out with 17 candidates, which included members of Congress and a couple of governors, and having Donald Trump emerge as the nominee. It’s a bit like dining at Le Bernardin and choosing chopped steak off the menu. Talk of a free-wheeling brokered convention still seems the result of the overworked imaginations of cable news anchors. More likely, voters will face a choice of Clinton versus Trump in November. What will those voters who dislike both candidates do on Election Day? There is talk of a third-party candidate, but rules in many states heavily favor the two-party system and make it difficult for any others to get on the ballot as the days dwindle down to November. And no matter what establishment politicians say, they know putting a third party in play dooms their own party’s chances of winning the White House. Most politicians would rather slice off a limb than give up presidential power for four to eight years. There is a mitigating factor. The rest of the party’s ticket is in jeopardy. Lose those closely contested elections, and your rivals not only win the White House, they also win Congress. So the party faithful try to decide the once unthinkable - is it better to lose the White House in order to save the ticket? In truth, the national Republican Party is a chaotic mess. During my lifetime, the only parallel is when the Democrats disintegrated in 1968 and then capped their undoing in 1972 when George McGovern won one state. At least back then, the Democrats didn’t have Tommy Manville as their candidate. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Christina’s Chicken Pot Pie

A special pairing

A

s we say farewell to March, many of us know that April showers will soon have us looking for temporary diversions until the clouds let us return to our external excitation. If culinary pursuits are your preference, allow Christina Maiellano, of the 2500 block of South 10th Street, to help you to wish away woeful weather with her Chicken Pot Pie recipe. The Lower Moyamensing inhabitant has long offered readers her kitchencentric output, and if you have a craving for crust, following this submission just might make you stay inside even after the rain has stopped falling. Don’t chicken out! A>@

DIRECTIONS: Preheat a countertop fryer to 365 degrees. Dip the cauliflower in the tempura, and gently place in the fryer. Fry for two to three minutes until crispy and cooked, doing so in small batches. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven. When you are ready to serve, place the pepper and onion slices in a skillet until slightly cooked. Add the hot cauliflower to the pan, and coat with the chili sauce. Plate, and sprinkle with toasted sesame. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

s a “can’t-sit-still� individual, Michael Lynch never had to force himself to find a vocation, believing the culinary world chose him to provide an outlet for his high-energy identity. Desiring a deep connection with the South of South community, the inhabitant of the 1700 block of Kater Street opened Miles Table, 1620 South St., three years ago and has watched with wonder as the brainchild that he and wife Marybeth helm has lived up to its billing as the place “where the neighborhood eats.� “I want to see these surroundings thrive, and a big part of that is having businesses that want to help the area to grow,� the 39-year-old said from his 40-seat site. “We’re thrilled to have a piece of that pie because we’re all about having customers expect something excellent at a good value.� The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College alumnus opened the space as an extension of his catering enterprise, naming it after his now-sevenyear-old son. The website for his labor of love notes that he and his bride, 12-year South Philly dwellers, “felt the area needed a casual spot for quick, pleasing, and fulfilling meals,� and they honor that belief through an all-day dining menu, with Lynch stating customers commend the variety among the dinner options. “This has been a big step for me to see my passion evolve,� the proprietor said of his fascination with the fast-paced life of a restaurant owner. “I’ve been in this area for many years, including my time helping the Lombard Swim Club, so it’s definitely not just about making money for me.� Lynch proves his altruistic side through fundraising endeavors for locations such as Center City’s Greenfield Elementary School, the beneficiary of this month’s Taco Tuesdays promotion, and Edwin M. Stanton School, 1700 Christian St. He can count himself as a preferred spot for repeat patrons, too, with brunch specials drawing particular praise. Going with a dinner delight for this week’s Food Feature entry, Lynch elected to share Miles Table’s Crispy Cauliflower recipe. “It’s relatively new and definitely in line with our interest in experimenting with textures, tastes, and ingredients,� he said of the $8 sweet chili saucetopped vegetable powerhouse. “I’m pretty fond of what it says about us as a place where you can come and know you’re going to find something not only nutritious but also delicious.�

All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus’ arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth’s shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s Will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth– You shall rest in Jesus’ land.

Happy Birthday in heaven, Lucille! We miss you. Love Your Husband Joseph, Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

ing lot area to engage in competition and conversation. “This is such a great way to kick off the charitable portion of the 2016 season. Give yourselves a hand.� HAVING SECURED NEARLY $2 million for area entities last year, the Phillies Charities, Inc. has crafted a resolute reputation as a big league player in keeping the heart of humanitarianism beating. Everyone within the family contributes to some effort to foster hope, particularly players’ wives, whose beneficiaries include the Pennsylvania SPCA, Covenant House Pennsylvania, Women Against Abuse, Domestic Abuse Project of the Delaware Valley, ConKerr Cancer, The Food Trust, Mothers United Through Tragedy, Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania, and Camp No Worries. Houck glowed over the fact that the organization uses nearly all of its funds to bolster local groups, notably the Bridesburg Boys & Girls Club, of which she is a board member. “The list of charities that the Phillies give money to is pretty impressive,� she said of their generosity, an offshoot of which is their granting runners medals shaped like baseball caps and spiffy shirts. The Northeast Philly denizen and her fellow tenacity testers, many of whom headed to the official post-race party at XFINITY Live!, 1100 Pattison Ave., af-

ter enjoying a cool-down lap around the park’s warning track, had ample cheering sections as they ventured around the environs, with Houck glad to have yet another chance to inspect South Philly. Stating she has been a Strider, whose own penchant for being helpful comes through its Holiday Lights Run that benefits Philabundance, 3616 S. Galloway St., for about five years, she credits friends for inspiring her to run her initial half marathon in 2012. Others have followed but nothing has led her to esteem looking to set personal bests each time more than she relishes having opportunities to run. While many folks might have finished Saturday’s endeavor and thought right away about prepping for another event, the 51-year-old could not wait to enjoy the best parts of the day, breakfast and time with her children, proving that placing 40th among the women in her age group will never top putting the right foot forward as a parent and as someone who values improving matters for others.

igurative warmth wills many to counter actual cold quite easily, as a word of encouragement when one is handling an outdoor challenge can make frigid temperatures realize it will not be their day to earn a victory over ambition. Such was the case Saturday, as more than 6,000 registrants braved morning chills and gusts outside Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, generating more than $300,000 for Phillies Charities, Inc. through the franchise’s sixth annual 5K. “You should all be quite proud of yourselves,� public address announcer Dan Banker said to the throng participating in the sold-out celebration. “The Phillies thank you for showing such commitment to your lives and the lives of others.� Almost daring dipping digits to daunt them, many runners donned shorts for the 3.1-mile experience, but no matter the apparel, including that of South Philly Striders member Trish Houck and daughter Leah sporting matching band-knit Phillies hats, everyone found being altruistic in fashion. “I’ve been doing runs that benefit charities for about 20 years, my first being the [Susan G.] Komen Race for the Cure, which I’ve done every year since,� Houck said. “We have such fun at the Phillies 5K

that it may be another no-miss race!� The Bridesburg dweller has aided the Stadium Complex-centered excursion since its 2011 inception and again found Leah, son Eric, and future son-in-law Michael covering the course, the navigation of which the Phillie Phanatic commenced on his four-wheeler. Reveling in its identity as an all-ability race, the matriarch enjoys that it unites many people who have relaxed their competitive natures and those who have never nourished such fiery spirits and that it helps her to appreciate “the art of fun running.� The franchise wanted the a.m. adventurers to discover similar satisfaction and helped their limbs to feel light and their hearts to be full of support through having members of the Phillies’ RBI Softball Team distribute water, She Said Sunday and the University of Pennsylvania and Glenn Miller bands play, former hurler Tommy Greene give high fives, and ballgirls adorn them with medals. While many individuals bore the look of utter determination on their faces, most figures simply set out to see what surprises and successes an early spring morning might yield, with one runner delighting in making her first-ever trip through Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. “What a turnout!� Baker beamed as the journeyers left the Phillies’ main park-
