Police Report: Alleged stabbing spree

Police shot a man who allegedly refused to stop attacking two individuals in East Passyunk Crossing.

It is easy to make Mayor Michael Nutter the bad guy. Things are tough, real tough. And he is the mayor.

Weighing school options

To the Editor: In the wake of the decision by the School Reform Commission to approve the closure of 23 schools, many Philadelphia parents are thinking about the question of where to send their children to school. Choosing the right school can be a daunting process. Families weigh a number of factors, including a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic performance, graduation rate, safety, special programs and transportation issues to name a few. Finding the right school can have a tremendous impact on a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, regardless of whether they want to learn a trade, enter the workforce, or enroll in a college or university to continue their education. Parents and caregivers now have a new resource available to help them with this process: GreatPhillySchools.org. This website is a completely free and easy-touse way for parents and students to find and choose schools of all types â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including district, charter and private schools. Families can search for schools

by a specific neighborhood or address and find rankings for schools in key areas, such as safety, academics, percentage of students who go on to attend college and overall quality. Families can even learn about a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique culture, including its mission and points of pride. Each profile page includes a detailed list of a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special programs and offerings, such as advanced placement classes, vocational training, arts and music, sports and other extracurricular activities. The purpose of the website is to make educational decisions easier for parents by putting information at their fingertips in a simple format that can be readily compared with other school options. On the website, parents can find important dates and deadlines for applying to and enrolling in schools of all types, as well as helpful information on how to prepare for a visit. We realize that not all families have internet access at home to use the GreatPhillySchools.org

website. To find a free computer lab or â&#x20AC;&#x153;KeySpotâ&#x20AC;? near you, please call 311 or the Freedom Rings Partnership hotline at 215-8511990. For your convenience, there are now more than 75 locations citywide where you can access GreatPhillySchools.org. In addition, print guides are available at City recreation centers and Free Library branches. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that closing schools is hard, both on parents and students. The challenge many parents now face is picking the best school that meets their individual needs as a family and holds the most promise for their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. It is our hope that GreatPhillySchools.org can help them in that process. Sharmain Matlock-Turner Urban Affairs Coalition CEO/ president and Mark Gleason Philadelphia School Partnership executive director

Holiday hoopla Hundreds participated in a Queen Village thoroughfare’s renowned Easter promenade and costume contest. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

ith a long-established reputation as a location for levity, South Street needs no assistance drawing throngs of patrons. The commercial thoroughfare received an identity alteration Sunday, as hundreds of revelers gathered for the South Street Headhouse District’s 82nd annual Easter Promenade, with a costume contest giving attendees and their pets incentive to don their finest holiday garb. “With everything we do, we try to make events bigger, better, more publicized and family-friendly than their predecessors,” first-year executive director Michael Harris said shortly after the early afternoon start at East Passyunk Avenue and South Street. “It looks as if we’re going to have a great turnout for our special day.” Ominous skies could not dispel the smiles of the excited children who lined up behind the Philadelphia Freedom Band and six peers dressed as bunnies. With the 16-member ensemble thumping out “The Bunny Hop,” which Queen Village native Harvey Sheldon helped to popularize by co-creating a dance in 1952, the participants honored the tune’s title by leaping in three-note sequences. With many adults joining them in the street and on the pavement, they made the five-block journey to the Second Street Plaza between South and Lombard streets for more fraternizing and judging of their outfits. “What an amazing collection of contestants!” master of ceremonies Henri David, no stranger to wardrobe courtesy of his wellattended and revered Halloween parties, said as the judges, including Councilman-atLarge James Kenney, took their initial looks at the assembled crowd. “This competition is bound to be a hard one to sort out.” With David’s infusion of a pageant-like atmosphere, seven girls between the ages of 2 and 5 kicked off the stage portion, with Pia Christensen wondering how anyone could choose a winner. “They’re all cute,” the 4-year-old resident of the 1000 block of South Seventh Street said as she clutched a balloon animal provided by a bunny on stilts. “I want to try to do this next year.” “And you’re sure to be the prettiest one up there,” her father, Doug Christensen, said, noting his daughter could not wait to

The Bunny Hop helped the happy crowd to kick off the afternoon with a thumping number. inspect the contest following services at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 808 S. Hutchinson St. “For now, though, let’s have fun being cheerleaders.” Certainly interested in the pride that would come from a victory in their division, the men, women and children who sauntered before the quartet of judges also had prizes to look forward to, as Harris and many local proprietors worked together to secure baked goods, baskets, gift certificates and sports tickets, among other goodies, for them. The anticipation swelled as little boys followed the girls, with young and teenage representatives rounding out the day for the most energetic registrants. “Now come the women but we won’t ask for any ages so as not to cause any trouble,” David said. “Let’s see your best, ladies.” AS SHE HAD already seen her 14-yearold daughter Trinity Nelson and 14-yearold nephew Daniel Lee claim triumphs in the Best Dressed Teenage Girl and Boy categories, respectively, Cynthia YoungNelson confidently marched to the stage in a buttercup yellow dress and hat. Accustomed to inspections through her time in the U.S. Army Reserve, the Sharon Hill resident beamed as the moderators named her the top female. She needed to wait only a few minutes before another celebration

ensued, as her clan received the coveted Best Dressed Family award. “I’ve been coming since 2005 and have enjoyed it each time,” Young-Nelson, who had twice won the same individual accolade and household commendation before Sunday, said as Trinity, Daniel, 19-year-old son Trey Nelson and 12-year-old nephew Anthony Kimhong enjoyed their sudden celebrity before photographers’ lenses. “I dance so I’m used to competitions, but this was exciting nonetheless,” first-time participant and Sharon Hill dweller David, also clad in buttercup yellow, said. Kenney and his fellow assessors also distributed honors for Best Dressed Man and Pet, the latter having two dog entrants, Best Easter Bonnet and South Street Razzle Dazzle, the final one an acknowledgement of creativity. “It’s great to have had the chance to be a part of something so positive,” Kenney, like Daniel a rookie to the promenade, said. “I would love to come back for next year’s.” As the mass began to disperse, with many members voicing urges to take advantage of meal deals along South Street, Harris delighted in knowing that more than 100 individuals and animals strove for bragging rights over the 90-minute affair. “The promenade reflects the ever-growing importance we put on bettering our

community,” it ” th the resident id t off the th 900 block bl k of South Second Street, whose employer is celebrating its 20th anniversary, said. “We have 400 businesses looking to do that, too, but events really help us to make great connections.” The district comprises Front to 11th streets along South Street and Fourth Street from South to Christian streets, and its personnel is gearing up for more opportunities to further the familial and community focus. The first Spring Festival will showcase the realm’s cultural and culinary diversity May 4, and Philly Beer Week will use the Headhouse Shambles at Second and Lombard streets for its With Love Beer Garden June 3 to 7. July’s second annual Dog Days of Summer Hot Dog Festival will offer yet another chance to chat and chew, but no matter the classification, Harris knows each affair must be fulfilling for people like the Christensen and Nelson families. “The spirit of today was fantastic,” he said, “and we’re glad to have appealed to so many.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

AWARD CEREMONY continued from page 1 The native Cambodian and her family moved to the 600 block of Shunk Street four years ago after time in Portland, Ore., and she soon sought the necessary means to adjust to her new culture. Gradually adding English to her native tongue, she learned of the program’s alignment with the U.S. Congress, which through the Congressional Medal Act of 1979 deemed medals would go to 14- to 23-year-olds who meet goals in performing voluntary community service, tending to personal development and physical fitness and executing an expedition or exploration. The determination of laurels depends on a participant’s accumulated time and adventures, with bronze medal winners responsible for attaining 200 combined hours in the first three areas plus one experience such as camping, hiking or traveling to a foreign country, with silver medal recipients doubling those totals and gold medal designees quadrupling the first amounts. Having tallied 800 hours and four formative tasks, Gnep, along with four gold medal-winning peers, accepted praise from U.S. Rep. Robert Brady. As she accepted her accolade from the nine-term politician, the 18-year-old, who has helped older adults by translating materials and assisted children through Saturday tutoring sessions at United Communities, beamed a smile that thousands of pupils could come to inspect if she follows her interest in becoming a teacher. If she were to make education her vocation, she would delight fellow Cambodian Daniel Peou, an alumnus of Furness and its first-year principal. The administrator gave an emotional and humorous keynote address in which he reflected on his 32-year journey in America following a strained existence in refugee camps. Arriving here with more goals than possessions, Peou came to define himself by his personal growth, which he attributed to his immense interest in seeing children, especially Asian individuals, thrive. “It is definitely within you to be a leader,” the Northeast Philly resident, who received the invitation to host the assembly from the Migrant Education Program and the district late last month, said. “If I, who had my own period of doubt as an adolescent and a young man, can learn how to achieve, I see no reason that all of you, who already show so much ambition, can’t be likewise successful.” OVER THE LAST 34 years, the Congressional Award Foundation has honored more than 50,000 youths for addressing their quartet of endeavors, with Brady especial-

ly grateful for their attention to community service. “When I’m in Washington, many of my colleagues do not understand that Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods and that so many people from so many cultures influence its identity,” the ranking Democrat on the U.S. House Committee on House Administration who maintains an office at 1907-09 S. Broad St., said. “You understand that just fine, so thank you for your help.” His audience represented eight schools, with 14 Furness registrants and a combined four pupils from Edward Bok Technical High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., and South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. Among the local do-gooders, helping younger learners has proven a reliable and enjoyable method to increase their hours, with D. Newlin Fell, 900 W. Oregon Ave.; Francis Scott Key, 2230 S. Eighth St.; John H. Taggart, 400 W. Porter St.; and Southwark, 1835 S. Ninth St., schools gaining from their enthusiasm. For Rupa Dulal, having any constructive role within her neighborhood will further encourage her altruism and guide her journey to self-sufficiency.

“I’m very happy,” the resident of the 2600 block of South Sheridan Street and Furness senior said of collecting a bronze medal. “Everyone has such happy faces.” The 20-year-old arrived in South Philly from Nepal two years ago, and like her principal and fellow senior Gnep, she instantly craved her niche and began to discover her cultural pride and expand her communal awareness through Adam Forbes, the program’s student support specialist. “I have enjoyed my time there very much,” Dulal said of the Growing Home Garden, a two-year-old space on the 700 block of Emily Street that Nepalese and Burmese clans, residing on Third to 12th streets from Snyder to Oregon avenues, manage. “Also the physical fitness part has been good because I have tried more jogging and like it more.” Puspa Chamlagai echoed Dulal’s sentiments. Also a Furness senior and a resident of the 2600 block of South Sheridan Street, the 17-year-old has aimed to honor her Nepalese roots and has made use of an intense interest in medicine by working at area clinics. She has joined the garden families, assisted students at United Communities and watched her

resolve improve since last summer when she and Dulal completed their camping expeditions. As her silver medal sparkled, Chamlagai, who like Dulal assists at the Bhutanese American Organization of Philadelphia, 2526 S. Seventh St., looked forward to engrossing herself in other activities to ensure she will wear gold next year. If she does become a triple honoree, the four-year local resident will earn a June 2014 trip to Washington, D.C., for the nation’s annual commendation of the highest honorees. “I love challenges,” she said. “There is so much more to learn.” Southwest Philly’s Forbes met many of the day’s heroes through their garden interactions and others through referrals from numerous agencies. Through their relationships, he has noticed their desires to evolve have helped their relatives to believe in their ability to succeed in their relatively new settings. “They’re constantly wondering what’s next,” he said, “and that’s a great sign.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Two recent television ads are helping a former Passyunk Square resident to further his acting career. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

ike any 10-year-old, Jaeden Lieberher loves being lively. Unlike most of his peers, though, the former resident of the 1200 block of South Clarion Street shows off his penchant for activity before millions of eyes. With starring duties in two recent commercials, including a Super Bowl advertisement, and a key role in an upcoming film, the energetic youngster is gunning for acting glory, with preliminary plans for gaining directing distinction complementing his ambition. “Acting is very fun so I intend to see what comes out of it,” the boy said last week from Los Angeles, where he has lived for two years. “I remember being nervous when I started, but I think I’ve adjusted well.” The one-time Passyunk Square dweller had not entertained a career as a thespian during his East Coast residence, which ended when his culinary-inclined father, Wes Lieberher, landed an opportunity to

LIFESTYLES operate a Golden State-situated food truck. Extended family prompted Jaeden to explore acting and with five commercial assignments, one music video shoot and one movie endeavor as résumé boosters, he has evolved from a thrilled viewer of screen creations, especially comedies and action films, to an ecstatic participant. “I’ve been acting for a year, and I like that it gives me chances to meet people and be creative,” the grateful performer said. While the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers desired to emerge victorious in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, with the former prevailing, Jaeden hoped many of the game’s 108-million watchers would consider buying a Hyundai Santa Fe. He landed the commercial’s lead, that of a courageous individual whose mother drives him around to secure teammates for a football game against bullies, shortly before Christmas, windfall that caused the cancellation of a trip to Philadelphia. He and his actual matriarch had not initially known the clip would become part of the pigskin pageantry, and though he enjoyed its construction, he deemed the anticipation surrounding its airing “nerve-racking.” “Everyone was so happy and screaming when it came on,” he said of his well-received gig. “I like football so it was great

An avid sports fan, he maintains an allegiance to the Phillies, whom he hopes will rebound from last season’s mixed results, by wearing a cap most days and believes the Eagles will one day claim the Super Bowl trophy but not with quarterback Michael Vick at the helm. “We’ve been there twice but haven’t won, and I don’t think he’s the guy who’ll help us,” Jaeden said. He makes return adventures to Philadelphia twice a year and eagerly reunites with friends to recollect. “Parks are among what we miss the most,” his mother, Angie Martell, said of sojourns to such places as Capitolo Playground, 900 Federal St., and Palumbo Recreation Center, 700 S. Ninth St. “Cheesesteaks, too.” “I miss the weather, including the snow,” her son added. With more auditions and ever-growing directorial confidence, Jaeden anticipates a prosperous future teeming with fun and gratitude for his gifts. “I like what I’m doing,” he said, “so I just want to keep growing and become better.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Is Nutter the bad guy?

Would the union be happier if Nutter had opted for massive layoffs to avoid blowing up the budget? I don’t think so. We, the media, are also at fault. Have we ever given the mayor credit for getting Philadelphia through the bad economic times without the cuts in city services so many other municipalities have endured? If we have, I must have missed it. Credit is something we rarely dole out in covering city politics. Take the constant drumbeat of cynicism directed at City Hall. When the crime statistics were going out of sight, you could depend on our local newspapers and television outlets to lead with the gruesome homicide statistics. Philadelphia’s crime stats were shown in unfavorable comparison to New York where Mayor Bloomberg’s “stop and frisk” procedures were given the credit for that city’s drop in the homicide rate. Thus far in 2013, Philadelphia’s homicide rate has dropped nicely, but for the most part, the local media has been sparing in giving credit to Nutter and Police Commissioner Charles Ramsay. When Ramsay tries to get rid of some of the bad apples in his police force, as we saw recently in the case of Lt. Jonathan Josey, he is often overruled. Often Ramsay is forced to rehire these officers. When the mayor needs help on any issue, he might as well forget about Harrisburg. The hostility of the State toward Philadelphia is palpable.The city is viewed as a pariah. The governor and majority of the legislators are tone-deaf to the city’s problems. If they could make Philadelphia just go away, they undoubtedly would. There is no easy answer to the our financial problems. The Actual Value Initiative is a hot potato. Politically, it seems, it must be revenue neutral. Arbitration of city contracts doesn’t seem to work. Asking outsiders to resolve budget issues demands these “neutral experts” weigh competing interests instead of elected officials. In the current dispute, the union claims the money is there to fund their contracts. Just forget about the small, measured decrease planned in the city wage tax. Forget about any decreases in the City’s onerous business taxes that scare new business from coming into the city. New businesses create jobs. Go after the tax delinquents. The first two suggestions are shortsighted. Everyone agrees on cracking down on tax delinquents, but make no mistake about it, chasing down delinquent tax cheats costs up front money to enforce and is complex enough that any revenues gained from the move will not come swiftly. The union contract demands will not be magically funded. Yeah, the mayor hasn’t governed perfectly. Far from it. But isn’t making Nutter the scapegoat for our problems just a little too easy?

Bronx grafﬁti-tagging duo Soﬁa (Tashiana Washington), from left, and Malcolm (Ty Hickson) are on a mission to outdo their Queens rival.

‘Gimme’ a gem By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ith its dead-of-summer Gotham locales and pseudo-racial class warfare, debut director Adam Leon’s “Gimme the Loot” strongly recalls Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing,” one of the greatest New York movies ever made. Yet, for all its powerful evocation, the film never feels like it’s trying to recreate anything, or piggyback on trends, not even when its graffiti-writing side players get their Banksy on, donning masks and giving on-camera manifestos. A breeze of a film that runs a mere 79 minutes, “Gimme the Loot” is about graffiti, but that’s just the MacGuffin. What it really does is nurture the bond between two blossoming characters, who emerge more vivid than many individuals in movies twice the length. Championed by Jonathan Demme, Leon begins his film with a vintage video, in which old-school writers preach about bombing the Home Run Apple at the Mets’ stadium, an act no spraycan-wielder has achieved in the 20 subsequent years. The Apple is the Holy Grail for young taggers Malcolm (Ty Hickson) and Sofia (Tashiana Washington), Brooklynites who struggle for status and respect, and spar with rival Queens writers who lend yet more vitality to the atmosphere. The duo’s two-day quest sends them scrambling for enough money to get them close to their target, a journey that boasts the effortless magic of a docudrama. Nothing is forced in “Gimme the Loot”—not the jazzy music that summons up the city’s past, and certainly not the performances, which range from the utterly non-Hollywood (Meeko’s tattooed thug, Champion) to the beautifully revelatory (Washington’s hardened spitfire).

In an uncommonly naturalistic manner, Leon lets his film unfold like a light caper with just the right hint of humor, filling his players’ mouths with dialogue that actually sounds like human, native discourse (no hipper-than-thou BS here). “Gimme the Loot” impressed audiences at Cannes, and it scored big at the South by Southwest Film Festival, netting the Grand Jury Prize. It’s your rare untainted indie, and it still manages to please crowds, celebrate romance, be tough, be sensitive and even exhilarate.

Disappointed by the abomination that was “Hitchcock”? Cozy up instead with the HBO film “The Girl,” which features Toby Jones as the master of suspense, and Sienna Miller as Tippi Hedren, one of many blondes at once nurtured and tortured by their brilliant maestro. Charting the making of Hedren’s star vehicles “Marnie” and “The Birds,” the movie highlights the supposed obsession that led to onscreen triumph (and offscreen troubles) for both star and director.

t is easy to make Mayor Michael Nutter the bad guy. Things are tough, real tough. And he is the mayor. The city unions shout him down. The City Council president doesn’t react by clearing the chambers. Instead, he cuts off the mayor’s budget address and an embarrassed Nutter is forced to retreat from the chambers. He seems like a man without an ally these days. The local media relentlessly portray a city in disarray. Is it fair? Nutter knew when he ran for re-election, this would be no cakewalk. He knew economic times were tough and big cities are hurt the most by them. He also surely knew when God handed out scapegoats, big city mayors were the first in line. And yet, his detractors try to have it every which way. Nutter is befuddled and confused, yet he is unyielding and dictatorial. He doesn’t forge alliances in City Council, but when voters elected him twice, they knew that as a councilman, Nutter was a notorious loner. No Dale Carnegie course was going to change his personality when he was elected mayor. This columnist pointed out Nutter’s lack of political social graces when he ran for mayor (“Nutter’s challenge,” Nov. 29, 2007). I compared him to former mayors Bill Green and John Street in that regard, both of whose failures could be attributed directly to that same flaw. So, please, it should be no surprise to any of us that Nutter’s governing style is not warm and fuzzy. Could Nutter be a more successful mayor if he had worked harder at making friends in City Council? There is little doubt. But whether you agree with the union protesters or not, the mayor’s forced exit in the middle of his budget address was shameful, a surrender to the rule of the mob. I understand the rage of city workers, but the problem of unfunded pensions did not begin with Nutter. It is a mess that landed in his lap because the political can was kicked down the road by his predecessors. The system has screwed them and the mayor is almost as much a victim as the union membership. The long-term problem is systemic and, unless some courage is shown on both sides, will be with us long after Nutter is gone and present union members have retired. Is Nutter really an anti-union monster or a convenient scapegoat? Isn’t it true, for instance, that unlike many other big mayors, Nutter was the one to eschew layoffs in favor of attrition that saved union jobs?

An assortment of cupcakes or a tower of layers allows today’s cakes to take almost any form – from square to round, even pillow or heart-shaped.

Cake layers are covered in pure white fondant, while additional bands of fondant InnovatIve wIshIng glistening with white sparklingall sugarmummers decorate the best of luck In 2013 bottom of each tier. Dots of sugar pearl sprinkles, resembling perfect pearls add a hint of texture, while a gem-studded monogram topper adds the finishing touch.

Gems can also be used to create a border or other complementary design. After the reception, it makes a perfect keepsake for the couple that will be treasured for years to come. Guests will want to raise a glass in honor of the newlyweds with the timeless custom of a champagne toast.

A to-do list for brides-to-be

FAMILY FEATURES

reparing for the big day means planning a multitude of details; everything from the flower arrangements to that something blue must be decided upon well in advance of the ceremony. Here are some tips to help ensure your big day goes off without a hitch.

The Big Decisions

The decision to get married is the first of many big decisions you will be making in the weeks and months to come. Here are some things to consider right away: n

YOUR SOURCE FOR LOCAL NEWS, EVENTS AND COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS!

Pick a date. Talk with your fiancé and family (and your fiancé’s family) about potential wedding dates to ensure the important people in both your lives will be able to take part. Select your guests. The number of guests you invite will directly influence the cost of your wedding.

Set a budget. Budgeting for your wedding is crucial, as this will have a great impact on every other aspect of your day, as well as your honeymoon. Plan for a little wiggle room for unexpected expenses. Choose a location. Because most popular bridal spots are just that — popular — you may want to start searching for a location quickly.

Organize the bridal party. Make careful decisions about who you want supporting you leading up to the big day, and who will be displayed in front of everyone in your life.

Pick a style. Many brides choose wedding styles that are reflected in their save-the-dates, invitations, ceremonies, receptions and thankyou cards. Choosing a theme and color scheme in the beginning will help narrow down options later.

Hire a caterer. Take into account the dietary needs of your guests by offering a variety of menu options, including a vegetarian dish.

Order the cake. Whether you choose a large multi-tiered cake or cupcakes, remember to keep your budget in mind—and pick flavors you and your fiancé truly enjoy. Make the announcement. Decide how you want to let the community know of your planned nuptials. Do you want to take professional engagement photos? Do you plan to contact your local paper? Will you include a link to a wedding day website on your save-the-date or your wedding invitations? Get the gown. On your wedding day, everyone will be awaiting a glimpse of your gown. Listen to your instincts and choose a gown that “feels right” and reflects your personality and style. Dress your party. Once you have chosen the wedding dress of your dreams, speak with your fiancé about his wishes for his suit, as well as the bridal party attire. Hire a photographer. Choose your professional photographer wisely. With a walk down the aisle, father/daughter dance and toast, your father is sure to get photographed, but your mother might get overlooked. Make sure to ask the photographer to get shots of your mother throughout the day as well. Choose your flowers. Once you set the date, discuss with your florists which flowers are in season to help narrow down your selection. You may love tulips, but if you have a winter wedding, they may be hard to come by, and may be more expensive.

Book the entertainment. Do you want a DJ or a live band? Talk with your fiancé about your music preferences, as well as the types of tunes you want played at your reception to keep your guests on the dance floor.

Before the Big Day n

Wedding Day Details

Following the Honeymoon

Create a website for your wedding to keep guests informed of events and for easy access to registry information. Provide accommodation information for those guests traveling from out of town.

Insure your engagement and wedding rings against loss, damage, theft or mysterious disappearance. According to a survey conducted by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, 44 percent of married women either don’t insure their engagement ring, or don’t know for certain whether their engagement and wedding rings are insured. For a free, no-obligation jewelry insurance quote, visit www.insureyourjewelry.com.

Make sure your marriage license, travel documentation and insurance information are ready to go and stored in a safe place in advance of the wedding day. Practice reciting your vows and speeches until you feel comfortable.

Provide bottled water for your wedding party. To ensure no one gets over-heated, hide water near your bridal party during the ceremony for emergencies. Choose meaningful gifts for your wedding party. Necklaces, earrings or bracelets are great for bridesmaids; cufflinks are perfect for groomsmen. Create individual envelopes for tipping drivers, caterers, musicians, etc. Separate envelopes will help ensure you don’t forget anyone.

Plan for weather: In case of rain — Order a tent or choose a venue with indoor space for last-minute protection from the elements. Offer extra umbrellas to usher people from their vehicles to the venue. In case of heat — Place fans throughout the venue and provide plenty of water for guests. In case of cold — Space heaters can be placed throughout the space to warm up the room in advance of the event. Over-estimate the amount of parking needed for guests.

Open wedding gifts and keep an accurate list of each guest in correspondence with their gift. Write thoughtful, personalized hand-written thank you cards.

Carol’s Banana Split Shake

Beneﬁting hunger

t is that time of year when having a hand firmly gripped around a chilled beverage of choice becomes an almost daily routine. Sure, drinking eight ounces of water might be the healthiest option, but where is the enjoyment factor in a sugar-free beverage? Carol Mapes, of the 400 block of Jackson Street, mixes up something a lot sweeter and with a tropical twist: Her Banana Split Shake. Once temperatures start soaring to heat-wave-like conditions, it might not be a bad idea to have that blender and a bunch of bananas on the counter at all times. SPR

to a perfect medium-rare. The outside of the beef was seared and crisp, which is the way I prefer it. The steak was sliced and served with pencil-thin grilled asparagus, which are in season now, and fingerling potatoes. Chimichurri sauce is prepared with parsley, coriander, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. It can be made in a blender, food processor or by hand using a mortar and pestle. This perfect sauce had a richness and creaminess that I especially liked. Jackson Pollack-like squiggles of this sumptuous sauce were all over the beef, which, by the way, just melted in my mouth. Service was first-rate. The bartender and = Very Good

y first tweet was about food. I highlighted grilled beef, chimichurri and Malbec — the rich, fruity red wine from Argentina that has been gaining in popularity in America and just might appear in restaurants and on family tables. Many tweets were about Malbec. It might be a coincidence, but a smile appeared on my face when I saw grilled hanger steak with chimichurri sauce on the menu at East Girard Gastropub. I discovered the pub weeks ago on the way to Kraftwork for brunch. Since I have not reviewed a Fishtown restaurant in many months, Edward and I decided to try it. It’s a corner property with soft lighting, high-top tables, which also serve as a base for checkers or chess, a long bar and a congenial staff. The music on the sound system ran the gamut from The Beatles to Sam Cooke to Smokey Robinson. I was in a very good mood. Cocktails ($9 and $10) were jumbo, expertly prepared and icy cold. The menu is a nifty mix of pub favorites such as wings and burgers, but also includes seasonal ingredients, fresh fish and beef entrées at modest prices. Five plump chicken wings ($9) were coated in a hot and spicy honey sauce and baked until golden brown. The skin was crisp and not a bit greasy although it was fun to get messy as a result of the sticky honey. Still, these wings were among the finest I’ve tried in a long time. Homemade bleu cheese dressing, with chunks of cheese, along with the requisite carrot

and celery steaks made this appetizer a mini-meal. I have never seen lettuce wraps on a pub menu. Shrimp lettuce wraps ($9) were a tasty delight. Two large cups of cool lettuce formed the vessel for beautifully grilled baby shrimp with sautéed mushrooms napped in a slightly spicy Asian sauce. Another lettuce cup was filled with shredded carrots and daikon that also tasted fine when dipped into the spicy sauce. Next up was a salad of baby arugula, baby spinach, julienned tart apple, slabs of tangy salty Gorgonzola cheese and crisp pecans ($8), which Edward and I savored with every bite. I especially enjoyed the sherry vinaigrette. I use a version of this dressing from Spain at home and it always highlights salad greens. The salad was perfectly seasoned by the way. A helping of fried cauliflower ($4) was a fine intermezzo before we dug into the beef. Bite-size pieces were seasoned with salt, pepper and spices before they were cooked and served with a homemade chili mayonnaise, which was outrageous in flavor. I’ve got to try this mixture at home. A glass of Malbec ($10) was in order to properly savor the national dish of Argentina. During a walk through Buenos Aires, one will discover numerous restaurants with large slabs of beef grilling in the windows. The people of Argentina take their beef quite seriously. Hanger steak ($16) was a site for the eyes and the senses. There must have been at least eight ounces of tender beef seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled

Village Belle where he serves as chef opened a few years ago, he made a variation to the familiar dish, adding more types of cheese and pine nuts to make the creation his own. “It’s just good,” he said. “It’s Italian comfort kicked up a notch.” Campanaro, a Culinary Institute of America grad, had worked in restaurants from Miami to Vail, Colo. before returning home. “We always talked about doing something here,” Campanaro, who now resides at 12th and Tree streets, said of his and brother Joey Campanaro’s shared restaurant passion and desire to cook in Queen Village. “When the space came available, it was something like a homecoming coming back.” The Ricotta Crespelle also is making a return to The Village Belle’s regular menu this week. For those who can’t get enough

of the dish, he is allowing patrons to recreate it.

COME TO ME! God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you, And whispered, “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Sadly missed by Devoted wife and daughter

Nobody’s fool

A West Passyunk baseball team opened the month by stunning the two-time defending Public League champion. ■ By Joseph Myers

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php Peter Piccoli tied the game for the Huskies with a sixth-inning single.

R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

he calendar declared Monday April Fools’ Day, but the baseball players from Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., devoted the afternoon to being serious. The West Passyunk-based Huskies overcame a four-run deficit to upset the two-time defending Public League champion Frankford Pioneers 6-5 at Citizens Adjusters Park, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue. In registering their first win, the local athletes proved they will be pesky foes for fellow Division A squads and potential pests for state opponents. “Every game is going to be a fight,” coach Shawn Magee said. “We have to play our best to win, and that’s what we did. These guys don’t give up.” The second-year leader and Lafayette Hill resident had witnessed a slugfest during March 22’s season-opening 17-16 road loss to Central and wanted his club — last year’s Division-B titlist and Class AA Public League finalist — to maintain its offensive enthusiasm and curtail its defensive jitters. With harsh winds, intermittent showers and an accomplished adversary to battle, he called on senior hurler Frank Suppa yet would ultimately find himself lauding the pitcher’s brother, sophomore third baseman Joe Suppa, for securing the win. The right-hander struggled with his command in the first two innings, issuing three of his eventual five walks, but the visitors could not benefit and fell behind 1-0 in the home half of the second when senior outfielder Michael Lyons, of the 1500 block of Pollock Street, plated senior utility man Juwan Jordan with a double. The former figure committed an error in the next frame, however, a miscue that teamed with a hit batsman, two walks and three wild pitches to put the Huskies behind 3-1. Looking to be aggressive with two away in the bottom of the third, Joe Suppa ended up caught in a force play that would come to haunt him only minutes later. “That was in my head when I took the field,” the resident of the 1100 block of Shunk Street said. With Lyons on the mound, two errors from the underclassman allowed another Frankford score, and two more Husky

mistakes gifted a fifth-inning run, though the hot corner helmsman gained redemption with two assists. “I became a little worried about having the ball come to me, but I knew I had to recover and give our bats a chance to come back,” Joe Suppa said. THE FRANKFORD DEFENDERS felt no pressure and routinely handled their hosts’ grounders and fly balls. The Huskies conversed before each set of at-bats, with their sixthinning meeting containing the most passionate pleas for patience. Their attempts started futilely, however, as senior first baseman Steven Miraglia took a called third strike, and junior right fielder Rob Freer sent a ball to the shortstop. When the fielder misplayed the projectile, though, Freer, who last year earned Second-Team Division B honors, raced all the way to third to bring his bench to life. The inhabitant of the 1200 block of Morris Street welcomed the older Suppa and Lyons on base courtesy of their being hit by pitches and accepted boisterous praise

when he scored on a two-run single by junior catcher Christian Coppola. After senior center fielder Kyon Anderson fanned, sophomore second baseman Keegan McKoskey singled to reduce the deficit to 5-4. Senior second baseman Peter Piccoli continued the hit parade by sending a tough pitch into right field, knotting the tally and inciting an even more robust round of cheers. Joe Suppa learned a bit about poetic justice next, as his grounder escaped the second baseman and gave his colleagues an improbable lead. Hungry for more, the Huskies had to settle for the slimmest of cushions when Miraglia ended the 10-batter session by again taking a third strike. Having suffered only one league loss on their way to last year’s title, won against the Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St., at Richie Ashburn Field, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue, the Pioneers looked ready to recapture the momentum in the seventh by generating a one-out, first-and-third situation. Having further corrected his timidity with two more plays in the previous inning, Suppa showed his

glove hand’s evolving prowess by snaring a line drive and stepping on his bag to complete a double play. “It’s weird how the ball fi nds a guy,” Freer said. “In the beginning, we were trying to get ahead,” Piccoli, a resident of 15th Street and Oregon Avenue who last year received a First-Team commendation and who figured to take to the mound for yesterday’s road tilt against GAMP, added. “After [falling behind], we were able to fight back and win as a team. This team has a lot of heart.” With four innings of two-run, three-hit ball, Lyons earned the victory. “We made a statement,” he said. “We are here to play, and we are here to win.” “Keep an eye out for us,” Freer added. “We’re the best team in the city.” SPR Review Intern John Murrow contributed to this story.

researCh volunteers Are You Bothered By Menopausal Hot Flashes? You could be eligible for an investigational research study if you are 45-60 years of age, in good general health, and experiencing hot flashes. Participants will be compensated and receive an investigational, nonhormonal study medication. Call 215-662-3329, Penn Medicine BT Steps: A Study of Web-Based Treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder or think you might? Have you had trouble finding treatment for your OCD? Do you use the Internet? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you might be eligible to participate in a research study conducted by Dr. Kenneth Kobak of the Center for Psychological Consultation. This study will evaluate a new, web-based treatment program for obsessive-compulsive disorder called BT Steps. BT Steps teaches participants skills from cognitive behavior therapy and is based on an earlier, telephonebased program that was shown to be effective in a research trial. In the current research study, we will assess the effectiveness of BT Steps alone, or supported by coaching from either a trained coach or a cognitive behavior therapist. This study is supported by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old, have OCD, and use or be willing to use the Internet. You will not be required to travel to participate in this study, as the BT Steps program is web-based and all coaching will take place via telephone. Participants will be compensated for their participation. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about this study please contact Revere Greist at (608) 556-0766 or rgreist@centerforpsychconsulting.com.

Prayer NoveNas prayer to the blessed virgin

(never known to fail). O Most Beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful Vine Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here You are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor my necessity (Make Request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days. Then you must publish it and it will be granted to you.
