New season, new Phillies XFINITY! Live celebrated the Phils’ opening day game with a watch party that signaled a new partnership and new team. ŽÊ0g 0WZZ 1VS\SdS`b R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

I

t was nearly 15 minutes before the first pitch of the 2016 Phillies season at XFINITY! Live, 1100 Pattison Ave., when the Phanatic stomped in and squared up to the giant, 32-foot television screen as if to say ‘Did I miss it?!’ He hadn’t, and he was welcomed with a wave of applause by the fans who decided to take in the Cincinnati

Reds’ hosting of the Phils’ first loss of the season. Marking an official partnership between the Philadelphia Phillies and the XFINITY!, a free watch party took place on Monday to welcome in the season and celebrate baseball days’ return. Notable Phillies alums were on hand to spread cheer and check in with the team’s Director of Public Affairs, Scott Palmer: Tommy Greene, Milt Thompson, and Gary Matthews.

Matthews, who played for the Phils from 1981 to ’83, color-commentated from 2007 to ’13, and is more commonly referred to as Sarge, offered commentary on the upcoming season between eagerly watching offerings thrown by starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson. “It feels good but it’s imperative for me that they get off to a good start. It’s such a young ball club,� he said, hinting at a clear theme that will characterize the season: youth and growth. “You

don’t have to sweep, but taking two out of three would really go a long way into having a good season and the teams that you should beat, those are the teams you’ve got to beat.� His son, Gary Matthews Jr., was a professional ballplayer, too, and earned All-Star status as a Texas Ranger in ’06. “He called me the other day to say ‘I’m just calling you for our regular tradition,’� the proud father said with ASS PHILLIES ^OUS ,,

Funny how often we think of some of the things our parents used to say on certain occasions. My mom always sang “April Showers� throughout this month, especially when it rained. I don’t know whether Mom really believed those April showers would bring May flowers, but she sang as if she believed it.

0O``WS`a Ob 0O``g To the Editor: I absolutely love living in South Philly, but I must confess that two elements of life here REALLY irk me, dealing with children who have limited respect for adults and finding tons of litter everywhere. Being the father of a four-yearold boy and calling the Marconi area home, I often head to Barry Playground for large chunks of time and have lately found those aforementioned nuisances are often headquartered at the space. I really hope I do not come across as holierthan-thou, but is it really too much trouble for my fellow parents to encourage their offspring to realize that adults know far more than they do and that they need to refrain from polluting our community? I often encounter the rejection of those considerations at Barry Playground, and that really upsets me, especially considering that just last month, the location won two

Readers’ Choice Awards thanks to votes from community members. My son and I went there Saturday night, and I felt compelled to capture the included image. I certainly do not put the blame for this picture on any employee, as I am not one for thinking that people can heave their trash wherever simply because a site has workers to tend to messes. I make parents culpable because I often witness adults in and around the playground forgetting that the ground is not their dumping area, too. And the mouths on these kids!!! I fire looks their way after hearing profanity-laced sentences, and they always walk away to head to another part of the playground where they think I will not be able to hear them. Newsflash --- I still can! How about eliminating the vulgarity altogether? Am I nourishing a pipe dream? Should I just accept that “It is what it is,� as so many South Philadelphians are prone to say? Is it wrong to ask parents to parent and

youths to fall for another four-letter word, tact? Joseph Myers South Philly Review editor

/ Q]Z]`TcZ acUUSabW]\ To the Editor: South Philadelphia resident Martha Bormann is working with the Philadelphia-based children’s organization Cradles to Crayons to host a spring clothing drive that will benefit Greater Philadelphia region children living in homelessness and poverty. Beginning April 26 and extending through May 9, locals can place new or slightly used children’s clothing, shoes and outerwear in the Cradles to Crayons drop box located within the Fumo Family Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, 2437 S. Broad St. In 2015, Cradles to Crayons served 55,000 youth (low-income children ages birth through 12). In conjunction with the public donations, Alphabet Academy daycare and pre-school students and their families will be contributing donations to this drive; parents and guardians of students can contribute from April 26 through May 6 at school. Your donations will help provide children in our area with some of the basic necessities that they otherwise go without, while also being green and recycling your children’s clothing. Martha Bormann South Philadelphia

“I would like to see them reach the playoffs. I think they’ll finish a little over the .500 mark. I want the pitching staff to develop because those guys were a bit twisted last year. If they work on their chemistry, they’ll be good in two or three years.� Noel Rivera, Ninth and Jackson streets

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. “I hope we do much better than last year. Baseball is a game of strategy, so I think the older players will help them with their wisdom. I hope the young guys mature, too. � Catherine Brady, Fifth and Mifflin streets

he complainant relayed to authorities at 11:50 p.m. March 30 that he had become a robbery victim on the 2000 block of South Colorado Street. He stated that as he was walking westbound on Snyder Avenue, a black female who had been standing on the corner started to walk northbound on Colorado Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When he reached Colorado Street, he heard someone yell “Yo� and saw a black male pointing a black gun at him. The unknown figure told his prey to walk toward him, with the aggressor placing the gun on his chest and instructing him to shut up, threatening to squeeze the trigger if he moved. The gun wielder went through his pockets, removing his Samsung Galaxy 4 phone and $70 and passing them to the aforementioned woman. They ordered him to walk northbound on Colorado Street as they hopped into a newer model Ford Taurus, burgundy or maroon and bearing a PA tag, that another male operated. He described the male thief as being in his late 20s or early 30s and 6 foot; having a stocky build; and wearing a gray Adidas hoodie, blue jeans, and tan Timberland boots; and the female as being in her early 20s and 5-foot-7; having a stocky build and a shaved head with sideburns coming to a point; and wearing a black North Face Down jacket and all black clothing.

Authorities arrested a woman for supposedly spraying another female with pepper spray in Girard Estate. At approximately 4:10 p.m. Friday, the complainant was driving eastbound on the 2000 block of Oregon Avenue and looked to make a turn onto 20th Street. She relayed that as she was turning, she saw someone giving her obscene hand gestures as the latter figure crossed the street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The motorist pulled over to Rita’s Water Ice at 20th Street and Oregon Avenue and stated that upon her exit from her vehicle, the pedestrian screamed obscenities as she approached her, telling law enforcement officials the woman was irate because she felt the complainant had tried to hit her with the car. She said she and the unknown woman began to argue, with the offender, minus any provocation, pulling out a canister of pepper spray from her bag and discharging it at the complainant, striking her face and arm. Once police arrived, the victim gave a positive iden-

tification of Christina Romeo, whom they arrested. They also recovered a can of pepper spray and charged the 33-year-old resident of the 2100 block of South Garnet Street with possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, and recklessly endangering another person. She received a release on her own recognizance and awaits a May 2 status hearing.

A male executed a plot to rob a man to whom he had promised to sell a bicycle. The complainant stated that at approximately 2:30 p.m. Saturday, he met with the offender, from whom he had agreed, through offerupnow.com, to buy a Mongoose BMX bike for $30 at 10th and Chestnut streets. The offender said the item was in storage and that he would need the presumed purchaser’s help in removing it. The victim accompanied him in a silver, small body SUV to an alley on the 1900 block of Shunk Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, and when the motorist pulled in front of the unit, he inquired about the presence of the funds. Hearing a positive response, the driver pulled out a red pocket knife and demanded the cash, with the complainant parting with it and leaving the ride per the aggressor’s instructions. The driver then sped off westbound then northbound on 20th Street. Sadly, though, as of press time, authorities could not provide a detailed description of the thief, stating only that he is a 20-year-old white male.

Police are hoping the associated image can help them to capture a man who robbed a female in Queen Village. The complainant was walking north on the 700 block of South Fourth Street at 6:42 a.m. March 15 when an unknown Hispanic male approached her from behind, placed his hands over her eyes, and grabbed her bag. She turned around, leading him to say he had no intention to shoot her. She began to scream, though, and he said he would renege and shoot if she did not stop. The thief made off with her bag, which contained a Mac Book Pro laptop computer with the serial #C1MMCWLODTY3, credit cards, a wallet, identification, and $10, and fled in an unknown direction.

eing a bit of a nerd, I became interested in the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon parlour game a few years ago, finding it fascinating to connect performers with the Philadelphia-born character actor. Realizing that I have had the pleasure to write about some of South Philly’s most prominent natives, I wondered how I could connect contemporary people and events with 10 local figures and came up with this list, with the bold-faced type representing the occurrence or person who will establish the tie with the products of our turf.

9) Karl-Anthony Towns Jr.: When this towering figure likely claims the Rookie of the Year trophy for his feats with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the hardware will bear the name of Eddie Gottlieb, the esteemed basketball guru and South Philly son who helped to implement many of the components of the National Basketball Association. In May 2014, I wrote a story dealing with the placement of a Gottlieb-lauding historical marker outside of South Philadelphia High School. 8) Proud Camden Gallery: Last month, the Proud Camden gallery in London opened an exhibit from photojournalist Michael Gaffney, a former personal image capturer for heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali. Many of the shots show the icon training in the Miami-situated Fifth Street Gym under the direction of South Philly product Angelo Dundee. When he passed Feb. 1, 2012, I penned a tribute to him for this paper. 7) “My Music Matters: A Celebration of Legends�: On May 6, the National Museum of African American Music will host “My Music Matters: A Celebration of Legends� in Nashville and will honor music producer and songwriter Kenny Gamble. The South Philly standout granted me an interview in February 2011 in conjunction with the receipt

5) Lancaster Barnstormers: Come April 28, fans of the Lancaster Barnstormers will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing the Twist and will enlist none other than Queen Village product Chubby Checker to encourage them. The Grammy Award winner became a subject of mine in March 2012, as he returned to Settlement Music School, where he received tutelage as a boy, to help to endow personnel with a $250,000 grant. 4) Janesville Performing Arts Center: Last Thursday, the Wisconsin-situated Janesville Performing Arts Center Board tapped Nathan Burkart as its next executive director. In conjunction with his hire, Burkart will attend May 7’s gala, with West Passyunk’s Frankie Avalon, whom I interviewed in May 2012 as he peddled Avallone Tomatoes at ShopRite, set to perform. 3) Unmasked series: New York City’s Village Underground will tape a segment with comedian Jim Norton on April 19 as part of the Unmasked series. Numerous funny bone ticklers have appeared in interview segments, including South Philly’s own David Brenner, with whom I conducted a December 2013 phone interview surrounding his promotion of young comedians through the Valley Forge Casino Resort-situated Comedy Stars of Tomorrow spectacular. 2) College Basketball Hall of Fame: Kansas City, Missouri’s Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland will host Nov. 18’s induction ceremony for the newest College Basketball Hall of Fame inductees. LaSalle University great and South Philly native Lionel Simmons will be among the enshrined figures, with yours truly happy to say I interviewed him in Dec. 2014 when South Philly High School retired his jersey. 1) Change is Possible Program: On March 9, the Upper Darby Police Department launched the Change is Possible program to connect those battling substance abuse with Gaudenzia Inc. Superintendent Michael Chitwood, a South Philly-reared law upholder whom I profiled in Dec. 2014 as he completed his 50th year on the force, lauded the campaign as offering “a safe haven� for troubled individuals.

10) “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens�: The blockbuster film that resumed the Star Wars saga came out on DVD on Tuesday. For the fifth installment in the series, “The Empire Strikes Back,� George Lucas enlisted South Philly’s own Irvin Kershner to direct. That work and other movies helped to make Mr. Kershner a valued contributor to the industry, and I wrote an In Memoriam for this publication when he lost his battle with lung cancer in November 2010.

6) The Portsmouth Invitational Tournament: When the top NCAA senior basketball players head to Portsmouth, Virginia April 13 for this showcase/pre-draft tournament, they will be following in the fleet footsteps of Earl “The Pearl� Monroe,� who hoisted jumpers in South Philly before taking his talent to the NBA. I interviewed the sharpshooter in June 2012 as he promoted healthy eating through Merck & Co. Inc.’s Diabetes Restaurant Month outreach.

were hundreds on the list, and she couldn’t exactly say “‘Hey everyone, come over at noon and we’ll make cookies together’, but it also felt like we had so much energy there. Can we harness it and create a little more?� she wondered. Back in August ’12, SPR featured SPPRC in its pages as the group started to grow. Now, it seems, Howe has gracefully and willingly handed over the steering of its next chapter to Lutz, the new president, who’s helping the organization find a physical space to facilitate programming and meetups (South Philly row homes are not ideal for 10+ moms and their babies). “I’m really grateful they’ve been able to take it over,� Howe, a feminist teacher of writing who works at Temple and Rowan universities, said. “They’re going to professionalize it and do more outreach – my job was to get it off the ground.� The sales help, and Lutz takes running them seriously because she wants them to be exciting moments that South Philadelphians look forward to regularly. “We want to run it as an enjoyable business so people want to consign and shop. If it’s run well and it’s providing a service, people will want to come back,� Lutz reasoned. “We finished at the end of last year,

between the four sales, at around $17,000.� WHEN LUTZ BEGAN to commit seriously to growing and formalizing SPPRC, she said there were three goals. “Number one was update our web presence and incorporate the KSOW Google group better into the website. Membership in the online community will always be free, you just need to be a parent in the four [South Philly] zip codes,� she explained. “The second thing we wanted to do was secure a permanent space� and, she says, they’re very close but not close enough to divulge an address or opening date (“we’re walking through the process of getting a zoning variance for the location�). Lastly, “we’re looking to transform the group into a more membership-based group with a more stable offering of programs.� Programming, naturally, takes many forms: breastfeeding groups, new mom groups, work-life balance sessions, bilingual play dates, babywearing workshops, nutrition classes, the list goes on. Furthermore, a slew of interested parties is interested in invigorating the space but is waiting until SPPRC has it all wrapped up. “Please let me know when you have keys� is a common response, Lutz said.

phenomenon has been organically growing in South Philly since the fall of 2014, the CityKids consignment sale at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., and the ’16 spring sale is coming April 16-17. Consigners get checks when they sell well, but the main beneficiary is a 501(c)3 named South Philly Parents Resource Center (SPPRC), which has been gaining momentum for closer to 10 years. According to a statement, “CityKids is the largest non-profit consignment sale in the area, the only consignment sale in the city, and 100 percent volunteer run.â€? And Generation 3 Electric, 1257 S. 26th St., co-owner Debbie Lutz would know – she’s been doing her research. “I learned, I studied. This is serious business,â€? she said, and found large sales called Cozy Tots in Bryn Mawr and Little Angels in the Northeast. She came to SPPRC the most common and popular way – their popular Kids South of Washington (KSOW) Google group, which connects parents to resources of all kinds but regularly serves as a digital space where moms and dads can sell and buy gently-used goods, gear, toys, and clothes. In their first effort, they brought 50 consignors to the Neumann-Goretti cafeteria, attracting more than 270 shoppers. The next year, they had nearly 100 consignors and 640 shoppers. This spring’s sale is expected to be the biggest and best yet. “I was pregnant about four years ago, and I was a new mom in the neighborhood. I didn’t know a lot of other moms,â€? Lutz said. “I found out there was a group behind this listserv – nothing exists by magic.â€? She met Rachel Howe, the then-president and one of the founders of the earliest form of what would become SPPRC. Howe said she and some new moms originally met with their tiny babies at Benna’s CafĂŠ, 1236 S. Eighth St., but “the babies got too big to hold in our laps.â€? When it was that small, a prompt like “I’m going to be at the park at 2 p.m. – come and meet me!â€? worked well, she recalled. Or a little class on song and everyone brings a song. Suddenly, there

As for consigning, she said there are philosophies and rich ones behind it. “In a small South Philly home, you find yourself being buried alive by children’s stuff and you want to efficiently pass it on and it’s very green,� she reminded. She bought for closer to $200 a secondhand stroller that retails for $900. And for lower-income families, they’re used to having no choice with hand-me-downs, and CityKids lets them have choices. “It’s just nice to be able to come and pick out what they want, and they have a choice and they can afford the choice,� she said. “Donations are lovely but it can be hard if it’s not something you want or need.� Nuemann-Goretti’s director of operations and alumni relations, John Murawski Jr. (class of 1996), is fully supportive of CityKids. “I think what Deb and her team have done is wonderful for the community, and we here at Nuemann-Goretti are in the center of the community,� the Pennsport resident said. “Hosting CityKids is our way of welcoming the young families of our community into the Neumann-Goretti family.� Howe said SPPRC can do much more than offer goods and services. “It cuts down on the isolation. Some people are on their own, and you can show up and be a mess. And it feels good to offer someone advice about the one thing you’ve figured out,� she said, noting that with some “very successful professionals, suddenly nothing you do is successful.� More importantly, some families have nearby relatives, family members on the same block or built-in support networks. With many families flocking to South Philly, SPPRC can keep and anchor them to a community they find and build as parents. “There are a lot of people who are choosing to live in our neighborhoods, it’s a social choice,� Howe said. “So many families tend to leave at school age and if we bond them with a deeper root, you’re connected to a community.� SPR

PHILLIES continued from page 1 a smile. “You have butterflies at this time every year. But when you lose 99 games [as the Phils did last year], you have nowhere to go but up.� He echoed the excitement of early April and the beginning of baseball’s simple appeals: good weather, good times, and good games. Matthews kept it honest with his expectations for the year. “I definitely want to see [Maikel] Franco have a good year. I would love to see Carlos Ruiz come back and have a really good year. And Ryan Howard, I’d like for Ryan to have a good year; he’s done a lot for the organization when they were winners,� he explained. “No one likes to be on the bottom of the pack, so to speak, and not being able to play the way they you should, it becomes embarrassing. The other thing is Phillies fans are great, but they have no sympathy for professional athletes that don’t perform well.� At the Great American Ball Park, with 43,683 fans in attendance, the Phils collected their first “L� with a brutal eighth inning, losing a 2-1 lead they’d held since the second inning. Does Matthews think that Phillies fans can take aim at new management leading this young club? “It’s not on the coaches. It’s the guys that are playing, those are the guys [to be held accountable],� he said, when asked about new General Manager Matt Klentak and new Manager Pete Mackanin. “Coach ain’t takin the bat up there, he’s not on the mound pitching. Like I told the minor leaguers when I addressed them, the only thing better than hits is more hits.� “The Phillies go all out to try to reel the fans in for the excitement,� Joann Milorey, a Pack-

Live, said “it just made sense� and that they have aligned goals – creating great experiences and satisfying fans. “Today’s really the kickoff to the season and our partnership – this is a big event, we’re starting the Phillies season, starting spring – let’s get going.� He said it “says a lot about the town� that nearly 1,000 fans filed through on a Monday afternoon. They’re championing the cooking of Top Chef contestant Jason Chichonski, at 1100 Social, which opened last fall, with Mexican and Asian fusion small plates. But there’s also several other pubs and bars for hanging after games. They’re incentivizing with happy hours immediately following the last out for an hour of half-price appetizers and $3 select drafts. They’re also introducing post-game parties at 1100 Social with a model similar to the watch party: ticket giveaways, famous Phillies, and signed memorabilia. The next one falls on April 17, a Sunday afternoon game against the Washington Naitonals. Mike Harris, the Phillies’ director of marketing, spoke of the home games like “putting on 81 Broadway shows a year but it’s different every time.� This week, though, he’s well aware that Phillies fans are hungry for good news with some wins. But “there’s something very invigorating and energizing about the start of the baseball season.� Young guys, he said, “will be key building blocks�: 24-year-old centerfielder Obudel Herrera; 23-year-old third baseman Franco; 22-year-old pitcher Aaron Nola; and 25-yearold pitcher, Jerad Eickhoff.

like how pumped is he to be on board? “I am very excited for the season and to be playing games in front of the fans in Philly again. As a team, we had a strong spring and we know we can play with the same energy during the season. There is a lot of excitement in the clubhouse,� he said. How about new management? “It has been great, everyone is on the same page with what has to be done. The players, Pete, and the front office are all working together to make the team better any way we can.� Passyunk Square resident Suzanne Janczewski had her son with her on Monday, a boy named after legendary Phillies third baseman Michael Jack Schmidt. The three-yearold nodded and smiled when asked if he was excited for opening day. Sean, a kinder-

gartener friend of Michael’s, said his favorite Philly is Herrera “because he gave me a ball.� Harris believes “it’s an exiting time to be a Phillies fan again, it’s going to require some patience,� but the front office is very hopeful it and the team will be “bringing another parade back to the city.� He got emotional recounting the last pitch in October 2008, sitting between his wife and his father. “It’s something I’ll never forget, that’s something that motivates us all.

A Passyunk Square resident is regarding as remarkable the opportunity to handle the female lead in a Philadelphia premiere. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

/

s she comes to compile credits, Isabella Fehlandt yearns to own and honor every role, with an urge to express gratitude for her opportunities outclassing any inclination to achieve greatness. Through April 16, the 24-year-old is intensifying her identity as a “Yes and...� performer by playing Consuelo, the female lead in “He Who Gets Slapped,� which the Philadelphia Artists’ Collective is giving its Philadelphia premiere. “I’m always looking to grow, and this is a wonderful chance to do so,� the actress said from her Passyunk Square abode of the Broad Street Ministrysituated presentation. “There’s so much energy involved and so many great people channeling it.� Fehlandt and the South Philly-heavy cast and crew are working with director and West Passyunk product Damon Bonetti to stage Walter Wykes’s adaptation of Leonid Andreyev’s 1914 tale, with the plot centering on a writer, played by Passyunk Square inhabitant Ross Beschler, who looks to move beyond his pitiful past by becoming a clown. Like the titular character, the carnival’s other hires must muster the might to discover meaning in their daily dealings, with

an accompanying release stating the show offers “a portrait of human struggle in a material world.� Working with such tenured presences in the local theater scene, Fehlandt feels her assignment grants her not only occasions to pick their brains but also to reinforce their enjoyment of their profession’s possibilities. “I love what PAC does, and I’m really fortunate to have this moment to show how much I appreciate being involved with such a bold project,� the thrilled thespian said of the entity that prides itself on presenting classical plays, with the decision to stage “He Who Gets Slapped� as a slight departure but a nonetheless thoughtful move to promote a piece that Bonetti contends brings “a ton of heart.� Consuelo finds herself frequently involved in the expression of such feelings, adding vulnerability and innocence that Fehlandt deems “attractive.� The bareback rider possesses a brightness that she loves to convey, though, that gift, she noted, acts as a secondary means to reinforce the darker elements of BesPortrait Photo by Bill Mason Images (Top Right) Stage Photos by Ashley LaBonde and Wide Eyed Studios.

B?<;IJOB;I Beschler’s HE. That blend of emotions also comes through thanks to intricate physical elements, with West Passyunk dweller Terry Brennan, the circus art/ movement choreographer for the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts, bolstering cast members’ appreciation for and mastery of techniques such as bullwhip, slapstick comedy, partner acrobatics, tumbling, hat tricks, rolling globe, juggling, and rola bola. The “He Who Gets Slapped� promotional material reveals PAC secured Fehlandt and her peers on account of their skills, physicality, and willingness to learn new skills, with the actress particularly pleased to pounce on the final component of that trio. “It’s all very exciting, and though I’ve had this setback, I’m still delighted to see how I can help this great story to resonate with audiences,� Fehlandt said of her participation, which became compromised March 29, the day before previews began, when she suffered a metatarsal injury. “It’s a humbling and challenging experience to be so prepared for something and then have to change how you’re going to execute it, but I suppose I’m truly living the life

of a circus performer in being injured. Frankly, I find so much humor in it all.� THE POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE holder has long lobbied to make creative pursuits the chief source of her passion, with dance, thanks to a solid family lineage, as her initial endeavor. The Delaware product matriculated at Wilmington’s Cab Calloway School of the Arts, with a three-year identity as a vocal major, and added acting as a calling in earnest when she and her family moved to Chadds Ford. “I became curious to know what other voices, so to speak, I had to convey emotions and express myself,� Fehlandt said of Keystone State epiphanies. “I wanted to know what sort of fire I had within me, and theater really ignited me.� The Media-situated Delaware County Community College increased her interest, with the budding stage presence noting the location, among other benefits, helped her to see William Shakespeare in a different light, a realization that resulted in her playing Beatrice in “Much Ado About Nothing,� and to consider herself an eager student of her

Maybe that’s what much of life is - seeing obstacles as momentary hindrances. If you’re ready to grow and accept challenges, some things will still intimidate you, but I think it becomes easier.

unny how often we think of some of the things our parents used to say on certain occasions. My mom always sang “April Showers� throughout this month, especially when it rained. I don’t know whether Mom really believed those April showers would bring May flowers, but she sang as if she believed it. My wife could tell you I like to sing the song in Al Jolson’s style. She is not a fan of the Cardella-Jolson version (if you’re asking who is Al Jolson, your great grandson will get revenge on you someday by asking “Who is Frank Sinatra?�). There’s been nothing but showers in this primary election season, and I’m far from optimistic that May will drop a floral bouquet on the scene. I can’t imagine the Republican Convention in Cleveland being anything but stormy. Donald Trump is not going to go away. He will not exit the political scene quietly if he does not win the Republican nomination for President. As an old boss once described one of my colleagues from whom I was seeking workplace advice, Donald Trump is a “fountain of misinformation.� I know he has an undergraduate’s degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. No reflection on that fine institution, but I offer you my condolences. He has also mentioned numerous times he has an uncle who graduated from MIT. Trump incredibly does not understand the system by which the Republican Party selects its nominee. I use the word “incredibly� because one would think if you were going to spend time and your own money (for the most part) getting involved in the Republican primaries, you would at least take the time to understand the system by which a nominee ends up selected. For instance, Trump doesn’t understand how he could win the vote in the Louisiana Republican Primary and lose the delegate count. “Isn’t this a democracy?� he rails. Actually the answer is “no� when it comes to either of our political parties’ primary system (the Democrats less so than the Republicans given their use of super delegates). Trump is suing to win the 10 Louisiana delegates he believes were unfairly given to rival Ted Cruz. Trump is the master of nonsense lawsuits. He has threatened more lawsuits than he has ties made in China. If he loses the nomination, he will undoubtedly add another lawsuit to his collection. For Donald Trump’s information, (I understand Trump gets my column delivered to his door in Mar-A-Lago), it’s all about the dele-

Ž a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ gates, not the popular vote. Each state decides how it will apportion delegates. Note: Trump mistakenly blames the Republican Party instead of the individual states for the way delegates are won. He also thinks the number needed to win, 1,237, has been mysteriously plucked out of the air. Actually that number simply represents exactly half plus one of the number of delegates elected to the Republican Convention. If Trump doesn’t win the necessary delegates prior to the convention, party rules provide for balloting until a candidate reaches that number. Failure to reach that digit on the first ballot means delegates are free to vote for whomever they wish on the second ballot, and so forth until one candidate reaches the total of 1,237 and claims the nomination. This is not as complicated as figuring out why we still need NATO, but somehow Trump hasn’t figured it out. The Democrats will meet here in Philadelphia and while their convention will lack the volatility of the Republicans’, they will experience some “showers� of their own. Bernie Sanders’ chances of winning the nomination over Hillary Clinton are about the same as me winning an argument with my Uncle Nunzio, which is to say, almost nil. But Bernie will not go quietly, nor should he. Sanders has not much more loyalty to the Democratic Party than Trump has for the Republicans. He became a Democrat by necessity last year, in order to win that party’s nomination for President. Sanders correctly knew if he took the path of running as a third-party candidate, he was doomed to be just a spoiler. He has made the most of his opportunity, but whether his success at pushing Clinton’s agenda to the left is a net plus or minus is open to question. He will likely argue for his agenda to become part of the Democratic Party platform also. Winning presidential candidates normally move politically to the center in the general election because America has been essentially a centerright or center-left country at various times in its recent history. It is highly likely Sanders’ success will prevent Clinton from campaigning as a centrist in the general election for fear of losing Bernie’s ardent supporters. No matter how one feels about Sanders’ politics, they will be of necessity at the forefront of Clinton’s campaign. Bernie’s emphasis has been on domestic economic policy, but if there are more terrorist attacks by November, national security may become the issue that concerns more Americans than Wall Street. Of course with Trump raining on the Republican parade, the Democrats may not need to worry about whether their candidate tilts too far left in the general election. Trump is like one of those nasty low pressure systems that won’t cast out to sea. Uncle Nunzi counsels everyone to carry an umbrella to the polls in November.

It serves two to four people generously and will surely prove a reliable component of your spring feasts. SPR

urg’s Lounge held down the corner of 21st and Federal streets for 34 years. For the past six months, Burg’s old spot has been occupied by Buckminster’s, Philly’s first self-proclaimed “neo-bistro� and the fifth restaurant in Michael and Jeniphur Pasquarello’s 13th Street Kitchens line-up. (The other suspects include Kensington Quarters, Bufad, Cafe Lift, and Prohibition Taproom). The European concept of the “neo-bistro� describes more experimental - and more affordable- restaurants in the bistro style. Buckminster’s fits the bill. It’s casual, it’s affordable (relative to Center City restaurants, not the corner stores surrounding it, of course), and the ever-changing menu begins with food that’s available locally. The “experimental� aspect of the neo-bistro must give Chef Rob Marzinsky, formerly of Fitler Dining Room, license to serve whatever dishes he pleases. His offerings are all across the map: Honey bologna and Welsh rarebit. Perogies and sweet potato curry. Oysters and spelt gnocchi. (The brunch menu, however, seems to have a little more cohesion.) Though it’s unpredictable, Marzinsky has designed a menu that makes sense at the bar and at the table. It’s one-page long, and the plates are small. In fact, after a few visits with friends, I was able to try half of the menu. The fried parsnips ($8) were stand-out favorites. These crispy earth-gems were topped with sorrel and salt and served alongside a tangy buttermilk cream spiked with horseradish. I was surprised at how much I liked the chicken liver mousse ($6). The dish was decadent - the mousse billowing on top of dense, sweet hubbard squash bread. Crumbled bacon hidden beneath the mousse gave each bite a hint of smoke. The buttermilk-brined crispy chicken ($12) was delicious, though I could have used a lighter touch with the hot sauce, which almost overwhelmed the dish. The rich Massaman Sweet Potato Curry ($15) was complex and spicy. The crispy pickled pear on top was a pleasant contrast to the sweet potato and the bright cilantro that completed the dish. Buckminster’s happy hour is probably the best value in the Breeze at the moment. Selected (and there are ample selected) beers and wines are $3 and $5, respectively, between the hours of 5 to 7 p.m. weekdays. I’ve heard of a bonus happy hour for the late-night set from 11 p.m. to midnight Monday to Thursday. The cocktails are not discounted at happy hour, which is forgivable considering they are already a bargain compared to what one would pay for a comparable drink elsewhere. The Federal Flip ($9) is a refreshing mix of gin, cherry,

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

mint, and frothy egg white and is served in a coupe glass with an amarena cherry waiting like a prize at the bottom. The draft list rotates often, and always features at least a couple more obscure, interesting offerings — Weyerbacher’s Sunday Morning Stout ($8), for example, was recently included. A few wines are on draft as well, and they’re poured into bottles prior to one’s glass to bring the wine up to the proper temperature. I loved the Nebbilo/Barbera/Dolcetto blend - an experimental combination for an experimental restaurant ($8.5). Unfortunately, not as much thought was paid to the temperature of wines being poured from the bottle; the Heritage Vineyard Rose ($8) was served ice cold. If you go at 5 p.m. for happy hour, the vibe may feel stiff and self-conscious. By 7, the place is bustling. If at first you feel this place is trying just a little too hard, give it a chance. Yes, the menu lacks cohesion, but not thoughtfulness. I get the distinct impression that Marzinsky is enjoying himself down there (the kitchen’s in the basement). The music relaxes the vibe, too. On recent visits, I have heard both R. Kelly and Kris Kross, so they can’t be taking themselves too seriously. In fact, on one recent Friday evening, with a thunderstorm pounding outside, the manager spontaneously distributed champagne to all the guests, clinked his glass, and toasted the weekend. Buckminster’s is a pretty young thing. It may still be coming into its own, but its future is bright. Three tips of the toque to Buckminster’s. SPR

La Casa de tu Madre’s Flautas de papa

E

hen Jason Evenchik approached Executive Chef Michael Thomas about a plan to craft a new identity for the dining space at 800 Fitzwater St., then the home of Growlers, the latter figure, five years removed from professional preparations of Mexican food, sided with his overseer’s suggestion to give Bella Vista inhabitants and visitors some south-of-the-border delights. Nearly six months into his stint at La Casa de tu Madre, Thomas is enjoying a culinary application of the “just like riding a bikeâ€? idiom, pleasing patrons with a menu consisting solely of tacos and appetizers. “There’s nothing that I really like more than just making really good stuff, and that’s the whole point of my being here,â€? the 39-year-old said from the 60-seat haunt. “We love that we have a consistent stream of diners and want to become familiar to many more folks.â€? The West Philly inhabitant and New York City native had initially believed he would engender pleasure through images, as he gravitated toward photography in early adulthood. When a customer commended his bagel sandwich-making abilities in 1998, Thomas knew he needed to explore the exciting possibilities within the field and has used his fingers to craft many well-received meals and to type highly respected locations such as Bar Ferdinand, Kraftwork, and Honey’s Sit ’N Eat, 2101 South St., on his resumĂŠ. “This world hits so many needs for me,â€? he confessed, noting enjoying instant gratification, executing creative impulses, and forging team unity as his chief urges. “Especially in this environment, I feed off the vibe and the atmosphere to give everyone what I hope are enjoyable options.â€? Enamored with the task of making a personal mark through each plate, Thomas, who also considers himself fortunate to have so many talented peers, whom he quipped have welcomed him into their “secret society,â€? makes obvious his passion for preparing savory provisions through the site’s Flautas de papa. Easily La Casa de tu Madre’s most popular item, with 500 orders a month, the vegetarian selection can count its preparer as one of its biggest fans, as he regularly consumes the goodie. Due to its acclaim among guests, one could easily say it has found its place among “the really good stuffâ€? that Thomas loves to occupy himself with making. “This is my third Mexican spot as a chef, and it’s really rewarding being here,â€? he said. “We’re still

relatively new, too, so I’m looking forward to the rest of the spring and the summer.�

Rough chop all of the salsa verde elements, combine in a blender, and purĂŠe. Unite all of the lime crema ingredients. La Casa de tu Madre uses corn tortillas that it warms and rolls with a decent amount of the mash filling. The location then fries them, pours the salsa verde on top of them, and finishes with a drizzle of the lime crema. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/features.

TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Address a restless feeling. If you find yourself at a loose end, head to distant or unfamiliar places. Travel is a good outlet for your energy.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22): A desire for something new will grip you, and you H will look for some form of creative outlet.

“I have these workouts with kids, and I get more out of them than they do,� Gillespie said. “They’re evolving, and I am, too, and it’s awesome to have that growth happening simultaneously.� HAILING FROM THE 2900 block of Tasker Street, the entrenched Grays Ferry figure attended St. Gabriel School, 2917 Dickinson St., and went on to call on St. John Neumann High School, formerly 2600 Moore St., to enhance his enjoyment of basketball and football. Claiming that he could never be “a science fair project winner,� he saw

sports as his reliable source of direction and purpose and though they gave him both, he went without someone to inspire him once the action ended. “Yeah, when the lights went out, we really had nobody to be a consistent voice for us,� Gillespie lamented. “We really needed someone to take extra time to tell us about our next moves. Without that push, some of us really suffered.� Following his initial South Philly sojourn, he matriculated at Valley Forge Military Academy & College and West Chester University. At 25, he experienced his epiphany

o endeavor can completely engender an escape from the harshness of life. A lifelong lover of sports, Michael Gillespie learned in 2011 that not even his preferred pursuits could keep him from suffering through a sad stretch, but instead of succumbing to sorrow, the Grays Ferry inhabitant has decided to use pastimes to promote future achievements through MBG Training, his South Philly-centric means to bolster athletes’ bodies and attitudes. “We’re all chasing the same goal of becoming better human beings,� the 30-yearold said of assisting local residents’ physical activity-infused quests. “It gives me great joy to be a part of their journeys and to continue to grow myself through what I love.� The resident of the 2900 block of Dickinson Street has become a trusted coach and mentor over the last three years, with turns as a basketball aide at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., and a football assistant at Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., as notable examples of his excitement for helping youths. Those titles and his overseer role for MBG Training find the figure striving to keep them from having to take too many of life’s crash courses. “This existence isn’t always going to be peaches and cream,� Gillespie said, with his own odyssey including expulsion from Indiana University of Pennsylvania over a matter involving marijuana. “You have to remain openminded, though, about being able to grow from your setbacks. You have to stay positive and active, too, because when you’re bored, you get in trouble.� Dubbed “The Footwork Jedi,� the affable individual conducts numerous group workouts, with an inclusive approach that finds practitioners of all ages welcome to sample his expertise. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St., and McNichol Field, 2500 Moore St., number among his spaces for specializing in speaking positive messages rooted in the belief that one’s mindset could offset difficult dilemmas’ influence. Knowing that the lack of such encouragement helped to doom many of his peers, particularly in Grays Ferry, he wants this generation’s children and future eras’ constituents to see him as a perpetual provider of nods and nudges.

when Indiana University of Pennsylvania exacted the aforementioned punishment on him, yet he did not languish, confiding that almost overnight, he began to form a plan for rejuvenating his dreams. “It was tough having, essentially, to part with all I had worked for,� Gillespie said of clear proof of his not-always-peaches-andcream assessment. “I knew I could never let myself fall prey to particular temptations that wouldn’t serve me or help me to improve others.� Calling on input from trusted acquaintances, including former Valley Forge football coach Jim Burner, he spent the end of 2011 and ’12 pondering ways to help children to reach their full potential. One could easily have given in when denied desired blessings, such as the opportunity to play collegiate ball, but Gillespie found that sports could spare him further dismay, and he has grown into a leading advocate for seeing games as great ways to wilt worry and woe. “I want to offer assistance and get these kids to believe in themselves every day,� he said. “They have so much competition for their attention and so many voices that want them to go astray. Mine just has to be a little higher and a little sterner but with a strong amount of love behind it.� Grateful to help local youths, particularly Neumann-Goretti’s Saints and Prep Charter’s Huskies, Gillespie also revels in knowing he has helped a few figures to move on to college with confidence and as he comes to know more individuals and obtains and reciprocates trust, he realizes that although one’s days will not always have peaches and cream on the menu, the options can still end up being pretty sweet. “I love helping people to believe in themselves,� Gillespie, who is overseeing a GoFundMe campaign to acquire T-shirts for his charges, with leftover money going toward helping them to go for their driver’s permits and licenses, said. “We need that no matter how old we are. I don’t think it should all have to come from inside. We need that push.� SPR
