A stellar academic record and tireless community activism helped a South of South school to avoid closing.
Enthused sixthgraders proved the School Reform Commission’s decision to keep their facility operating was a great one, as they tackled a writing assignment with gusto Monday. Their educational home will be able to build on its reputation as a standout site. S ta f f p h o t o b y Greg Bezanis

hen first grader Louis Rodriguez dons his glasses, his classmates at Edwin M. Stanton School, 1700 Christian St., dub him “The Professor.” He and the youngsters learned March 29 the nickname’s lifetime will extend beyond June, as the School Reform Commission decided to keep their South of South institution open after recommending its closure in Nov. 2’s Facilities Master Plan unveiling. The body’s announcement gave the students a joyous start to their spring recess, from which they returned Monday.
“I would have been mad,” Louis, of the 1800 block of Carpenter Street, said that day of his attitude had the School District of Philadelphia forced him and the 86-year-old site’s nearly 250 other pupils to find a new learning location. Fury is absent from all classrooms, yet most learners are present, as Stanton has achieved a 95 percent attendance rate under first-year principal Stacey Burnley. She and community figures spent the last five months averting the shuttering of a facility whose academic record had made its inclusion on the 10-school closure list an oddity.

Will you be participating in Philly Spring Cleanup?
A green future for South Philly
“I actually didn’t know about it. I would love to help, but it’s a bad weekend for me. I think it’s important though to go out and be a part of it [the clean up] because if I don’t why should I expect others to do the same.� Michael Antycoly, 11th and Fitzgerald streets
“I didn’t hear about it, but I think that its great and I would definitely help out, but this weekend is no good for me. South Philly needs it though — that and more trash cans.� Jillian Palucis, 12th and Tasker streets
“If I knew, I would help because the city needs the cleanup. People don’t care enough about the environment and people have lost a lot of respect for the area that they live in. I think its nice people taking pride in their surroundings.� Chris Conolly, Broad and Porter streets “I’ll probably participate. My block did it last year and I helped out, and it was a nice turnout. People think that if they didn’t throw the trash on the street then they shouldn’t have to pick it up. It’s nothing but pollution.� Walter Borden, 1800 block of South Ringgold Street Interviews by Samantha Byles Photos by Bobby Kittredge

An open letter to Residents: South Philadelphia is one of the most lively, livable areas of the city. It has fantastic neighborhoods, leading schools and institutions, amazing stores and the best food. But there is something missing: Trees. It is among the sections of the city with the lowest percentage of tree canopy cover — the area of land shaded by trees. While the ideal tree coverage is 30 to 40 percent, the canopy in South Philly covers only 3 percent. Trees bring many benefits to a community’s environment and economy. They clean the air, reduce stormwater runoff and flooding, lower energy bills, and raise property values. And, of course, they beautify our blocks and streets. This month, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and other partners are coordinating a full calendar of activities as part of Plant One Million, a multi-state project to restore the tree population. Some well-known residents of South Philly — the Philadelphia Phillies — are joining in an effort through a tree giveaway and other activities. We’d like to ask all the residents of South Philadelphia to participate in Plant One Million by attending one of the events we have planned and, of course, by planting trees along your street or in your yard. For more information and the calendar of events, please visit plantonemillion.org.

wo burglaries — one in Newbold and another in Pennsport — resulted after residents allowed who they thought were PECO workers inside their homes. Instead, they were thieves who stole cash and jewelry without the victim’s knowledge. “It’s odd,” Lt. Ray Evers of the Police Public Affairs Unit said Tuesday of this type of burglary that tends to occur in the spring and targets the elderly. “Within days apart, literally in two different neighborhoods, a person or persons have used the same type of diversion to get into someone’s house. Just from the verbiage, I believe it may be the same people or group of people doing this.” At 1 p.m. April 5, an unknown man wearing a dark blue uniform knocked on a 59-year-old’s door on the 1800 block of South 15th Street and identified himself as a PECO employee, who needed to check her home for faulty outlets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She invited the man inside to inspect the house. He left a few minutes later. Two days later at 1 p.m., another impersonator knocked on her door and indicated he was there to fix the defective sockets his co-worker had discovered, Tolliver said. The man went to a second-floor bedroom and left within 15 minutes. At 11 p.m., the 59-year-old realized her jewelry, valued at $2,000, and checkbooks were gone. The initial faux employee was described as black, age 30 to 40, 5-foot-5, thin, having short hair and wearing a dark blue uniform and carrying a maroon folder or book with PECO on it. The thief was described as black, age 30 to 40, 6 foot to 6-foot-2, thin, 170 pounds, wearing a dark blue uniform, baseball cap and carrying a bag. An hour after the initial man knocked on the Newbold woman’s home, a man and a woman went to a 79-year-old man’s home on the 300 block of Ritner Street, identified themselves as City workers and asked to check his electric meter, Tolliver said. The man escorted the pair to the kitchen where they inspected his kitchen outlets. While the woman continued the inspection, the man went upstairs. After a few minutes had passed, he returned and the
duo vacated the home. A few hours after their departure, the man headed upstairs to find his dresser drawers open in his bedroom and a change bottle sliced open with money missing, Tolliver said. A total of $1,000 was taken. The male was described as black with a dark complexion, age 50, 5-foot-7, 175 pounds and wearing black pants and a black hoodie while the female was described as white, age 50, 5-foot-2, 120 pounds and wearing dark-colored pants and a blue hoodie. The Philadelphia Police Department urges residents to check identification for those claiming to be from a city agency or utility company, such as PECO, Philadelphia Gas Works, Philadelphia Water Department, Verizon or Comcast. “If you have any reservations of who they are or what they’re about, call the utility company,” Evers said. While the crimes, or what the department calls “diversion burglaries,” are usually non-violent, he urges residents to not hesitate calling 911 if needed. “Usually there isn’t [violence],” Evers said. “When you have a stranger in your house, we don’t want it to go far. If they don’t have good identification, if you don’t see a truck, if you feel in anyway they’re not who they say they are, just call 911 and we’ll come check.” SPR To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

Why are you running for the 186th District seat? I am running for the 186th District seat to better serve the community for which I am a part of, [including addressing issues such as] housing business, education, jobs and job creation [and] safety in the streets for everyone and especially for seniors. In addition, guns are an important reason as to way I am running for the 186th District seat. What is your proudest communityrelated achievement? My proudest community-related achievement is monitoring the youth and seeing them develop and matriculate in a college or university, graduate with a degree and become gainfully employed in the community. At this point, they are contributing to the community in a productive way and they are making the streets safer for everyone. This, to me, is a high honor because I know that I have served in a productive manner.
trict’s South Philly portion? My vision for the 186th District’s South Philadelphia portion is to make streets and homes safer for all and especially for seniors by stopping the illegal sales and use of guns. I will enhance the environment by lining the streets with trees, hedges, shrubbery and flowers. It is important that the plants’ and flowers’ roots do not grow into the pipes to cause problems in the home. I will promote education by keeping libraries open. I will keep recreation centers open so that children have a safe place to play and have a place where they can do their homework and get help with their studies. I will serve the public by coming to them and asking them what they would like for me to do for them in Harrisburg and do it.

King’s English A historical marker honors a civil rights leader’s 1965 visit to Hawthorne. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
L
ouise Hanible has accumulated many momentous memories, but few can challenge the 72-year-old’s recollections of what her Hawthorne neighborhood experienced Aug. 3, 1965. On what the resident of the 1000 block of South 13th Street termed “a beautiful day,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited 13th and Fitzwater streets during his Freedom Now tour’s two-day Philadelphia stop. His appearance inspired Hanible and her colleagues to beseech the City and the Philadelphia Housing Authority for a nostalgic symbol, they reveled April 4, the 44th anniversary of the leader’s assassination, with the unveiling of a cast aluminum historical marker at the intersection. “There were so many people here you couldn’t even see, but you could hear his message,” Hanible said of the spring occasion that King used to build momentum for northern cities’ civil rights causes and to secure funds for them. She joined with 2,300 others that day at the former Hawthorne Community and Recreation Center to heed his call for economic change, a philosophy that would blossom two years later with the Poor People’s Campaign formation. Though last week’s crowd came in at only a fraction of its predecessor’s, its members likewise advocated for community growth and social responsibility. “History should never be forgotten,” Michael Kelly, the authority’s administrative receiver and executive director, said while noting the legacy of King, who made Hawthorne the location for one of his five Aug. 2 to 3 corner rallies. Kelly’s 75-year-old organization teamed with the City to build Hawthorne Square, a four-tower plaza with 576 units, in 1960. King, who in ’63 had delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C., selected northern locations to tackle their de facto segregation and lack of mobility for the downtrodden. His local influence proved so poignant that then-state Rep. James Tayoun petitioned the authority to rename the square “MLK Plaza,” which the nation’s fourth largest housing authority did Feb. 9, ’70. “You are on holy ground,” Tayoun said to about 100 attendees. The 82-year-old, who also served as 1st District Councilman from ’76 to ’84 and ’88 to ’92, relayed that King’s era pre-
to resemble what greeted King’s arrival. “In the old days, this neighborhood was together,” Hanible said. “It was like family; doors were always open. I would like to see that come back.” As his “I Have a Dream” rhetoric makes clear, King craved ample social possibilities for children, and the learners at Norris Barratt School, now George Childs School, 1599 Wharton St., interacted with him shortly before his 4 p.m. trek to Hawthorne. “He told them they were the architects of their destiny,” U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah said of the educator’s Point Breeze stay. King’s decision to deliver advice to the students touched state Sen. Larry Farnese, whose uncle, Ben Farnese, served as principal of Barratt. “Memorializing Dr. King never loses importance,” Farnese, whose district includes Hawthorne, said of the slain voice, who posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. “Here we are, one more time, Dignitaries, including Mayor Michael Nutter, first, from left, beamed to commend to honor his good work.” the unveiling of a long-anticipated reminder of a local visit from Dr. King. Like Farnese, 2nd District Councilman KeS ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g o r y B e z a n i s nyatta Johnson was not yet born when King “Everything about Dr. King centered on made his local jaunt, but the Point Breeze sented promise that went unfulfilled in Hawthorne, as blight, crime and social ills love,” 3rd District Councilwoman Jannie product, who attended Barratt and Childs, made frustration frequent.

There are many sections of South Philadelphia that are flourishing. However, I will not be satisfied until each and every block of the 186th District is flourishing and developed. We cannot stop until every mouth is fed, until every house is developed, until every street is cleaned and every child is literate. I will not stop until every family is independent and the business corridors return back to the booming economic marketplaces that they once were. I will never stop until this vision comes to fruition. SPR

Through our advocacy, we kept every one of the facilities open. Now children have recreational and educational activities.

What is your vision for the 186 District’s South Philly portion? Education: ... We must have accountability for all of the schools in the district. I would also like to work to create what I call education-to-opportunity pipelines. This would ask businesses in our community to come into high schools and train students in the field of their work. ... Finally, but most importantly, we need to restore the educational funding that has been cut by the governor. Public Safety: ... We need to address the issue of illegal guns that flood the streets of our community. We don’t make guns in South Philly, but many that lose their lives to gun violence do so by an illegal gun. Redevelopment: Point Breeze Avenue was once a thriving business district. We need to restore Point Breeze to its once greatness. As the city braces to unload thousands of properties, we must be ready to develop this land with community input and to the benefit of the community. ...
Why are you running for the 186th District seat? I chose to live in South Philadelphia because I recognized the potential within this community. South Philadelphia has one of the richest histories in the entire nation and I know that I could help return it to its glorious past. I am educationally prepared and community-oriented enough to get the job done. Education, neighborhood cleanliness and employment can revitalize this community, and I am the right man for the position.

STANTON SAVED continued from page 1 izations in trying to take the district’s capacity rate from 68 to 85 percent by 2014, but its age and registration, the latter being 200 below the recommended citywide minimum, likely hampered Stanton. The student population, though, has obtained Adequate Yearly Progress under the No Child Left Behind Act for eight straight years, and 80 percent of the scholars registered advanced or proficient reading or math scores on ’10’s Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. “I’m thrilled the SRC saw the glass as half-full and not half-empty,” Burnley said as Anne Olvera’s sixth-graders worked on writing projects. Two especially ambitious scribes, Zafir Fuller and Yasir Harris, used their creativity March 3 to build Stanton’s case, which included a Nov. 12 letter-writing campaign at Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 744 S. 17th St. The boys joined other Supporters of Stanton at the commission’s Center City office for their last large-scale means to escape a forlorn fate. As their school led the occasion for the 10 spots to plead for reprieves, they figured music might make matters more poignant. “We needed to take people from thinking they know about Stanton to knowing about Stanton because this is the best school in the district,” Yasir, of the 1500 block of Ellsworth Street said. “This place is very important to us,” West Philadelphia’s Zafir said. Their rap creation includes the lyrics “School is my second home/Without it, I’m all alone” and goes on to laud Stanton’s art programs. Sixteen cultural entities increase students’ aptitude in areas like dance, music appreciation and poetry, and Burnley oversees a curriculum so rich in writing, future novelists may be honing their crafts with each stroke. That their ink will still be flowing under her come September thrills the New Jersey resident. “We are so sound instructionally,” Burnley said. Even being a haven for bright minds could not afford Stanton safe designation in the fall. As many as 800 registrants used to make drawing families easy, but charter schools and demographic changes in ’03 almost caused the district to shed the school. It dodged dilemmas then, but the master plan projects district facilities will lose 10,000 students over the next decade and charters will welcome 9,000 learners by ’15, necessitating sacrifices. The Stanton clan ventured to hear the commission’s verdict, having presented arguments at 21 meetings, with three at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. “There was no ‘yay’ or ‘nay,’” Burnley said of last month’s news. “The commis-
With a “We Did Save Stanton School” sign as proof of their fight, some of the site’s personnel, including Principal Stacey Burnley, gathered to honor their being able to remain together beyond June. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
sion spoke highly of Stanton, so we inferred we would be continuing. We all felt relieved and redeemed.” The commission released a statement on its process and plans for continued modification. “This SRC has been very clear in its commitment to maintain its focus on student achievement while we work toward fiscal responsibility,” chairman Pedro Ramos said. “The decision to close a school is never an easy one, but we are doing what we need to do to improve the opportunities available to our students while working within our means. And we are doing it the right way, with a process that is open, transparent and inclusive.” THE RELEASE NOTED that although Stanton will survive, it will require alterations. Supporters of Stanton had known as much prior to the announcement, so the group presented the commission a 36-page report Feb. 10, knowing the master plan aims to reduce unused seats and shut old buildings. Though Stanton has only one space not in use, Burnley et al knew powerful evidence would be necessary to eclipse tiny rosters and an aging home. Their in-school proposals call for converting classrooms to assist autistic learners, linking their mentoring program with
the library to form one spot and converting small group learning space to a full-size locale, beefing up their utilization rate. Marketing will figure into enhancing enrollment, as the report, among other ideas, promises Stanton will target learners from low-performing charters; will trumpet South of South’s draws, which a Nielsen Solution Center real estate study noted will include a 4.59 percent population increase within a quarter-mile of the school by ’16; and will court pupils from closing or merging parochial schools. Those moves will try to spike class lists, which have increased 7.3 percent over the last five years. Having raised more than $330,000 over the last 14 years, Stanton and Bainbridge House, 1520 Christian St., will continue to be fervent fund finders. Those measures will blend with an ambitious union involving 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson to sell Stanton’s mission to prepare students for success and to give the school a literally strong foundation. “I was driven by Stanton’s strong academic record,” Johnson, of the 1800 block of Manton Street, said of involving Blue Bell’s The Goldenberg Group and MR Scott Development, 1530 Christian St., in a plan to provide construction management services for maintaining the infrastructure. The facilities plan came out when he
was the 186th District’s state representative, and he immediately engaged in assisting parents, seeing them as the leaders in the salvation process. As he had already interacted with Goldenberg president Ken Goldenberg and MR Scott owner Mark R. Scott in an ongoing Carpenter Square project that will convert a vacant parcel at 1001-35 S. 17th St. into a mixed-use development, Johnson sought the figures to see about funding the school. Three days before testifying before the commission, he received letters from both, with the two pledging at least $60,000 and as much as $65,000 from their Carpenter Square profits. Other sources have vowed at least $20,000, too. “This public-private partnership is wonderful because it is community-driven,” Johnson said. “Now that E.M. Stanton has been given an opportunity to stay open, the real work begins.” Burnley expects many meetings to discuss her site’s future. D’Asia Bourgeois knows one theme will dominate them. “Our love of learning stands out,” the resident of the 2900 block of Oakford Street said. “Stanton students can do anything they set their minds to.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

A New York transplant, now residing in East Passyunk Crossing, presents his work to Philly crowds. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
O
n March 27, Jeffrey Stanley, from 11th and Emily streets, workshopped his play “UFOs Over Brooklyn,” which has been in development since 2001. “The intention is a little more of a showcase, for who in Philly might be interested in producing it,” Stanley said. Stanley is a resident at Plays and Players Theater, along with Jeremy Gable and Brian Grace-Duff, until September. As such, the writer has access to stages and actors, as well as exposure within the local community. “Promotion is also part of their agenda. They are not necessarily going to produce all plays residents write,” Stanley said. “It’s an introduction to other professionals in the Philly theater world, so there is a publicity component involved when they showcase us and Plays and Players gets to showcase itself.” A New York transplant Stanley has spent the past year diving head first into the local community. His debut was a one-man show he wrote and starred in for last year’s Fringe Festival, entitled “Beautiful Zion: A Book of the Dead.” “Why I did the Fringe was to announce my presence. It worked.

Lifestyles Well, it made them more aware. The decision makers … put me on the radar. They all came and saw,” the 44-year-old said. “It’s a dark comedy and autobiographical. A close relative of mine died of acute alcoholism, drank himself to death, and it’s about my year spent dealing with that.” The show, which Stanley performed in a basement in West Philly, involved monologue pieces, as well as audience participation. Stanley asked for viewers to help him reach out to his dead relative through the use of a Ouija board, the result of which is the show’s grand finale. “It culminates with starting them in another room, trying to make contact with the spirit world on my behalf,” he said of the show he kept to a small audience. “I wanted to test the waters with it splitting in two: What’s going to happen with introducing an element of randomness and chaos into the show? Can I have that and still bring the show in for a landing?” Stanley was able to navigate the waters and the show, he said, was a success — so much so that Stanley is workshopping it during his residency for a return. “Back in January, the Live Arts had a monthly show called Scratch Night, for works-in-progress, and I went to perform it there, just 10 minutes of it,” Stanley said,
adding that the show only requires him and a suitcase of props. “I was seeing if I could translate it to a traditional theater, while remaining intimate and low-tech. “I came away with mixed feelings. Usually it’s small enough I can take [props] out and hand them to people. I think I like it smaller, in creepy, old basements.” STANLEY CAME TO Philly after splitting time between here and New York City for some time over the past handful of years. “My wife got a job in Philly and at first, we were back-and-forth commuting for close to two years,” the Roanoke, Va., native said. “Once I started coming more and more, I really loved Philly and I realized there was a thriving arts community and plenty to get involved in.” Stanley had made his way to the Big Apple 20 years prior, as an undergraduate at New York University’s film program. He went on to matriculate in the university’s master’s program for dramatic writing. “I had grown up in high school involved in the community, involved in theater,” he said. “I was extremely interested in film and I wanted to do it in a serious way, so I was torn between theater and film. New York fit the bill for me cause I could do both.” Immersed in New York’s culture, the
film-production major eventually tipped more into the live performance genre and wanted to stir things up. “In 1999, I was just coming out. I had a screenplay, ‘Tesla’s Letters.’ It was a controversial political drama about ethnic rivalry in the Balkans … and play agents at the time thought it was way too political,” he said. “I started sending it to theaters on my own; Curt Dempster wound up directing it himself. “It was a happy coincidence for me that it happened at all. It got rave reviews in The [New York] Times. And it keeps becoming relevant history and somebody does it again.” Stanley has been adjunct faculty at NYU since ’98, teaching screenwriting. As he transitions to Philadelphia he has started teaching film and writing courses at Drexel University and working on new works with local ties. “It’s connected to ‘Zion’ and my working title is ‘Grave Digger’s Bawl.’ It’s got visual aide like the first show, but this is not a history of Laurel Hill,” Stanley, who is working on a work based on research at Laurel Hill Cemetery, said. “Me performing is still a relatively new concept for me, being on stage. It’s a history of mourning rituals. It’s about staring death in the face

and talking about it and demystifying it.” Performing is just another way that Stanley has been able to step outside his box and continue to grow as an artist. “I’m not sure I’ve caught the bug; I like pushing myself. I like doing things to push my comfort level,” Stanley said. “I came to NYU for film and then in the graduate program I got pigeonholed. “In my first year I wrote a featurelength script that won an award and was mentioned in Variety, so I was known as a screenwriter in the department. So I did my MFA in playwriting instead of screenwriting. … I chose to do what I’m less comfortable doing.” Stanley has continued to develop as a playwright, while harboring a soft spot for film. Having written many scripts in the past for other directors, Stanley intends to take things to the next level in his new hometown. “I would love to have a production of a full-length play here in Philly — a world premiere here in Philly,” he said. “And right after that, shoot a movie. I want to make a movie within the year. I want to direct and write.” SPR

Good Friday
W
hat I remember most about Good Friday was the solemnity. The day was different than any other. We were off from public school — a time that usually meant my friend and I were playing half-ball on Tree Street where he lived, but we couldn’t play on Good Friday. It wasn’t appropriate. Yet the weather incongruously always seemed bright and sunny, as if Satan himself was trying to tempt us to go ahead and play anyway. On a typical Good Friday morning, my friend and I would play quiet board games in his home like Parcheesi and Monopoly. His mother would chastise us anytime that we raised our voices. At noon, she would ask me to go home because the next three hours were a time for quiet meditation. My mother would ask me why I wasn’t in church for the Stations of the Cross. I secretly found that ritual almost unbearable. The bad guys would do all sorts of horrific things to Jesus. The details were graphic and excruciating. Yet all we could do was sit passively and pray while he was beaten and spat upon. The details of the crucifixion chilled me to the bone. I was filled with a need for revenge, as if Jesus were an action hero who would smite his tormentors. It would always end the same way – his pleas for intercession unheeded, his forgiveness of his enemies “for they know not what they do” (why didn’t he wreak havoc on them instead of forgive them for surely they did know what they were doing), and ultimately death. As a Christian, I knew that the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday was his ultimate triumph, but I needed a kind of Lone Ranger ending — the bad guys are locked up and the masked man riding off into the sunset with a hearty “Hi-yo Silver, Away!” Of course I didn’t share my qualms with Mom. She always won the argument by placing a guilt trip on me if I didn’t go to the services: “It’s OK to spend three hours at the movies, but it’s not OK for you to spend three hours in church.” I never thought to ask my mother why, if she were so devoted, she didn’t go to church. It was only years later that I realized the issue of birth control kept her out of church during her child-bearing years. In those days, many shops were closed in observance of Good Friday. The regular baseball season was still weeks away, but spring training games were played at night or not at all on Good Friday. Life
seemed to resume after 3 o’clock. As teenagers, we always greeted 3 o’clock with a sigh of relief. We were not into solemnity. All Fridays were meatless back then. We believed that just about any sin could be forgiven, except eating meat on Good Friday. At that time I had not yet read Dante’s “The Divine Comedy,” but I was sure that the deepest circle of the inferno was reserved for those who bit into a cheesesteak on Good Friday. Through the years, my belief system changed. I came to realize that more and more it was difficult for me to accept what I considered symbolic stories of living a good life. It no longer seemed reasonable that any organized religion exclusively has all the answers. I think it is important that we all live good and moral lives and the rest of the stuff will sort itself out. Some may find that sad. They use the term “fallen Catholic.” I don’t consider myself “fallen” from anything. I don’t blame the Catholic Church for not changing to accommodate to my beliefs. My attitude is if you don’t believe the tenets of a religion, you leave and let the others who find solace in the church continue to do so. I don’t agree with the quote from Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, cited in a column last week by Christine Flowers, about atheists: “God exists, whether we find it convenient or not, and atheists can think whatever they choose about him. What they really can’t do is create a sustainable basis for human dignity without a God who guarantees it. The founders could never have developed the nation we know in an environment without faith in God and without the legacy of biblical vocabulary, faith and thought.” I believe as the Dalai Lama said, “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” One does not either gain or lose faith because it is “convenient.” Such a statement trivializes the thoughtful process many of us go through when we make such a decision. Our founding fathers expressed the need in our Constitution to separate church from state because they wanted to guarantee our citizens freedom from religion as well as freedom of religion. They were also intensely aware of the dangers of intolerance and religious persecution. There are many examples of bad governments that abuse their people that were formed on the basis of a belief in God. Those of us who are not as certain whether there is a benevolent deity watching over us still live lives of human dignity as much as those who do believe. And while religion may have a place in the public square, it has no claim to infallibility when it enters the world of politics. Peace. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.
‘Sea’ is worth seeing
Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz), right, is involved in an affair with Royal Air Force pilot Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston) in “The Deep Blue Sea.”
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
B
y the time the first puff of cigarette smoke is exhaled in Terence Davies’s “The Deep Blue Sea,” it’s as if the film’s aesthetic has suddenly sprung to life and coiled around the characters, instead of just framing them in a swoony romantic haze. An evocative, ethereal beauty of a movie, this ‘50s-era London drama, adapted by Davies from Terence Rattigan’s play, seems kissed by the dust of its postwar setting, a look that makes its central love triangle all the more urgent and poignant. Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz) is the wife of a doting judge named William (Simon Russell Beale), but her comfort in his household can’t match the fire she feels for Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a Royal Air Force pilot who feeds her passion, but knows the two are an ill match. As Hester observes, it’s hard to be “caught between the devil and the deep blue sea,” and when it’s clear neither man, however wonderful in his own right, can meet her needs, the woebegone woman attempts suicide. Such a gal might usually draw contempt from an audience, and indeed, Hester is a hard character to love, but as written by Rattigan, and as played by the never-better Weisz, she’s a rich and tragic woman who needs to lose all to start again, her emotional toll akin to the effects of war on Freddie. As is typical of Davies’s films, memory haunts every perfectly constructed scene in “The Deep Blue Sea,” most notably in a stunning centerpiece tracking shot, which sees a second contemplation of suicide interrupted by a flashback of Hester and William, the two of them sheltered with others in the Tube while bombs
drop above. “What happened to you, Hester?” William eventually asks. “Love, that’s all,” she replies. The film’s exchanges of dialogue, while sometimes greeting-card ready, often amass a whole swell of emotions, the implications of the language as aching to all as they are personal to the characters. Hester is warned of passion, that it “always leads to something ugly.” For Davies, it seems to always lead to something great.

Recommended Rental Shame NC-17 Available Tuesday Though “Shame” is, in many ways, a wasted opportunity (a film that fails to be a definitive account of crippling sex addiction), it is unmissable for Michael Fassbender’s wrenching performance, notable for reasons well beyond what he famously reveals. Following up his masterpiece, “Hunger,” director Steve McQueen shows his fallibility, but he also shows that his relationship with his male muse is one that’s consistently worth watching.

South P hilly Fashion went
AnnuAl FASHIOn SHOW FunDRAISER SMASHES ATTEnDAnCE RECORD ethodist Hospital Foundation's South Philly Fashion Goes High Society mixed a dash of “Project Runway” with a sprinkling of “Top Chef” and a dollop of “Dancing with the Stars” to create a frothy fusion of fashion, food and fun. The 500 guests lucky enough to spend that crisp fall afternoon at the sparkling Sheraton Society Hill Hotel Grand Ballroom were not just there for the good time, but for the good cause. The funds raised went to the expansion of and additional equipment for the Jefferson’s Methodist Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation program. Known as one of only a few monitored cardiovascular wellness programs of its type in the Philadelphia area, patients live and learn about the importance of nutrition, smoking cessation stress management and exercise. The audience heard a warm welcome from Methodist Hospital Chief Administrative Officer and Foundation President James E. Robinson, that was followed up by the Cardiac Rehabilitation
program’s Medical Director, David M. Shipon, MD, FACC, stepping up to the mic. Dr. Shipon, a practicing non-invasive cardiologist who specializes in the prevention of heart disease, told the crowd about some inspiring people that have made conquering heart disease and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro intertwining missions. “It's all about the climb to prevent heart disease.” Eighty-year-old Dr. Paul Magelli Sr. and fellow physician, Robert Gillio, have more in common than being singled out by Dr. Shipon. Each has had heart attacks, and watched family members suffer the same. After participating in cardiac rehabilitation programs, they trekked up Mount Kilimanjaro together earlier this year. Known as “The Climb”, their goal was to set an example to heart disease survivors that there is life after a cardiac episode and that increased physical activity reduces the risk of future cardiac events. Dr. Shipon reinforced the message that today’s behavior will make all the difference tomorrow.
Our goal is to help make South Philadelphia one of the heart-healthiest communities in the city.
“It is clear this is the right time for the Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation program, a program that will put the prevention of heart disease first,” he said. “It is a program that will impact today's generation and generations to come.” continued next page
One beat at a time THE OuTPATIEnT CARDIAC REHABIlITATIOn PROGRAM HAS GIvEn TWO PATIEnTS A SECOnD CHAnCE AnD A SECOnD ACT randon Brooks disseminates the afternoon news to loyal KYW newsradio listeners and, as an usher, John Nygard makes sure Phillies fans get to their seats at Citizens Bank Park. continued from front page
The day quickly jumped from conquering a world peak to conquering the runway. Seventeen models culled from volunteer Methodist staff and physicians donned street chic and sportswear, silk suits and evening gowns, in looks that wowed the crowd from the shops along Passyunk Avenue and in Rittenhouse Square. Prior to the dazzling designs, Dr. William Short of Methodist's Division of Infectious Diseases and Environmental Medicine and his partner performed a sizzling salsa number. There also was time for guests to peruse the 30 gift baskets and silent auction items available. Each basket up for raffle was crafted by a Methodist Hospital Department.
Both active and on top of their games, Mr. Brooks and Mr. nygard have at least one more thing in common — both were shocked when their ongoing pain and fatigue turned out to be much more. Mr. Brooks, age 55 at the time, and Mr. nygard, then 68, were each at risk for a heart attack. After stress tests, stent placements and a bypass for Mr. nygard, both men are reclaiming their lives through Jefferson’s Methodist Hospital Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation program. “At first, anything that made my heart beat faster made me a bunch of nerves, but their nurses are just fabulous. They gradually got me to do a bit more each time and now I can do some running,” Mr. Brooks, 58, said. For Mr. nygard, 69, it was a matter of time.
“The hospital staff always rises to the occasion, ready to dedicate their time and talents. Their baskets are done in the spirit of giving and I'm always astonished at how amazing they are,” Foundation vice President Diane Pirollo said. The event's first-ever silent auction proved a crowd-pleaser with items that came from local royalty: The city's beloved sports teams.
Mr. nygard’s goals are twofold, but one requires a team effort. “I can’t walk the mile from the stadium to my house just yet, but I make it half-way without stopping,” he said. “next, I want to see the Phillies win the World Series — and I want to be on the job when they do.”
When he thought of the day, Dr. Shipon could not help but be reminded of the poem “The Ambulance Down in the valley.” It told of a town's choice to invest in a new fence for a cliff or continue to give to the ambulance company known for saving those that fall from it. “Today we are supporting a program that will act as a ‘fence’ to cardiovascular disease, a fence that will put prevention first,” Dr. Shipon said. “It is programs such as this that will help heart disease go from the number-one killer in our society to one of the more uncommon causes.”
Their newfound strength has allowed the men to explore life and set new goals. “I have the confidence to do anything I want. I never think, ‘I can’t do that,’” Mr. Brooks, who recently got his new pilot’s license, said. “I have a lot more energy than I did before — energy and confidence.”
“I started at four minutes on each piece of equipment. now, I’m up to 12 minutes,” he said. “The program has helped me with my job because I need to climb my section’s steps, top to bottom.”
The war on heart disease is yours to win. - Dr. David Shipon
Change of heart A lARGER SPACE AnD BRAnD-nEW EquIPMEnT ARE A FEW OF THE CHAnGES AT THE REFuRBISHED HOME OF THE OuTPATIEnT CARDIAC REHABIlITATIOn PROGRAM emoving walls and adding several new pieces of exercise equipment is only the beginning of the changes at Jefferson’s Methodist Hospital Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation program. When the dust settles on this nationally certified program, more people than ever will be able to achieve better health starting with their hearts.
Small gestures can lead to big changes when it comes to cardiovascular wellness little things mean a lot and, when tallied up, they can wage quite a battle on the heart-health front. Everyone knows to keep a watch on their weight and a tight rein on smoking, salt and alcohol, but these guidelines are ones that ensure excellent overall health, not just cardiovascular wellness. “The prevention of heart disease and future cardiovascular episodes includes these four basic components — Mindset, Education, Exercise and nutrition,” Jefferson’s Methodist Hospital Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation program medical director and cardiologist, Dr. Shipon said. “I believe that understanding what heart disease is through education helps people with why they should practice stress-management techniques, eat heart-healthy foods and exercise appropriately.” All the comprehension in the world means nothing without the proper approach. “A peaceful mindset allows people to make the correct choices and ultimately allows them to create heart-healthy, sustainable habits,” he said. Dr. Shipon realizes it may be hard for people to change their habits overnight and doesn’t think or expect this battle will be won alone. “It takes educators, such as the ones at the Cardiac Rehabilitation program, to lay the foundation for such a lifestyle change. People come to our program not because they are sick, but because they want to be well.”
“The center will be open to anyone who wants to achieve and maintain over all cardiovascular wellness. It will be a place to learn how to have a healthy heart, and a place to be monitored while learning proper cardiac care,” cardiologist and the program’s medical director, David M. Shipon, MD, FACC, said. “Our established patients will have a larger space with more opportunities to exercise and interact with staff. But the changes also will allow us to reach new patients, as well as community members, with even more personalized attention.” The small space that once could serve only a few at a time, needed to branch out due to patient demand. Realizing this, the Methodist Hospital Foundation, which raises funds to help the hospital meet the health needs of the community, earmarked monies from its 2011 South Philly Fashion goes High Society fundraiser for the expansion of the Cardiac Rehabilitation program. The current construction has walls coming down, which will enlarge the area not only for the arrival of several new, state-of-the-art bikes and treadmills, but will also allow more room for pre- and post-workout stretching. Conference and individual patient counseling rooms are being created to better serve those seeking guidance on nutrition, smoking cessation and stress management. What sets all this apart from a neighborhood gym will be the highly trained staff working with each person and the heart monitoring equipment which has been significantly increased to assist more people. “Anyone who is at risk for heart disease or has a family history of it, only benefits from being
proactive. One of the best ways to do that is to start an exercise program.” Dr. Shipon said. “We are ready to change patterns — some that have been instilled for years — for cardiac patients and the community at large.” Cardiac Rehab — Get Started Today!

Funding physicals for student athletes The Methodist Hospital Foundation proudly supports the Athletic Health Organization (AHO) – a nonprofit critical student health initiative in Philadelphia that may save the life and protect thousands of students as they enter into their athletic challenges each year. The AHO mission is to provide free comprehensive physicals to every student athlete in grades 9-12 in the Philadelphia School District. With the objective of offering expert physical guidance on any medical issue, AHO strives to insure the student's health while playing sports as well as helping them prepare for a healthy lifestyle. AHO hopes to prevent the possible deaths of young athletes by performing physicals that can detect potentially dangerous health problems that may have previously gone unnoticed with the standard sports physicals. These physicals are given free of charge to students and every child gets an electrocardiogram and if necessary an echocardiogram.

Jamonera By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

hen I read Marcie Turney and her partner Valerie Safran were to close Bindi, their moderately priced Midtown Village Indian restaurant, I was more than disappointed. The food was bright, vibrant and bursting with flavor. Three months ago, Bindi morphed into Jamonera. After a recent dinner, I am pleased to report that the restaurant serves bright, vibrant dishes bursting with flavor with a big, bold Spanish accent. The restaurant takes its name from the contraption that holds a large ham for easy slicing. It’s a small place with a warm welcoming feel. The tables are wood set with linen napkins. Red is the color of choice here — the bar is lit with luscious red lights, which can entice anyone’s appetite. The masterful kitchen is in the capable hands of executive chef Turney, chef de cuisine Paul Lyons and chef de cuisine Nikki Hill. Our server Jess answered our questions and set the pace for one of the finest meals in recent memory. Flawless food and flawless service is what you can expect from Jamonera. There are tapas, salads and larger plates to share. There were so many dishes that enticed Sandy and I. We began our trip to sunny Southern Spain with iberico ham croquetas ($5) and berenjenas ($6). The former consisted of two bite-size morsels of Ibores cheese with a dreamy horseradish crema, which I lapped up with my fork. The croquetas were coated in pickled mustard seeds and served with iberico lardo. The latter can replace French fries for me any day. These Peking Inn: 20th St. and Penrose Ave., 215-271-1389, $$

were crispy eggplant fries, slightly salty, served with smoked tomato salmorejo and topped with shards of manchego cheese. Sandy and I raved over their flavor and crispy texture. Whenever seasonal ingredients pop up on a menu, I always order them. Ramps were featured in asparagus tosta ($7), which was listed in the toasts and small sandwich section of the bill of fare. Luscious grilled bread was topped with grilled ramps, tiny grilled asparagus, cadi urgelia cheese, heady truffle oil with bits of jamon iberico. I could make a meal out of several orders of this tosta. The ingredients complemented each other in a tasty manner of contrasting flavors and textures. One of the printed specials was an artichoke ($9) prepared with olive oil, lemon, roasted peppers and cheese. It was a beautiful rite of spring. Sandy and I were in culinary heaven. The midsize vegetable was grilled, sliced and served in a round ramekin brimming with balanced flavors. The artichoke was sliced into three pieces so Sandy and I shared the last slice. We wish there were four slices in this dish because it was just so darn good. “I have to prepare artichokes this week,” I told my sister. Fava beans are in the market as well. Turney and her staff made fine use of these spring beauties creating habas y jamon ($9), a salad of favas, English peas, whipped sheep’s milk ricotta cheese, la quercia acorn edition jamon and a hint of fresh lemon juice. I have never seen such creativity

in building a salad of spring vegetables. I prefer ricotta and feta for that matter made with sheep’s milk because the flavor is divine and so is the texture. I assume the pigs, which later became this phenomenal ham, were served acorns for their supper for it imparted a slightly nutty flavor. Since Spanish cuisine has become so popular throughout America, bunelos ($9) have become the dessert of choice. Jess described the dish perfectly. Sandy and I dove into four square, fluffy, light-as-a-feather donuts that took me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. She was a master at making light donuts. These were coated in granulated sugar and arrived with a warm hot chocolate sauce,

Up the stakes at the dinner table by taking the basic vegetable and lling it with a rich bounty of avors. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
S
Ingredients: 1 head of Savoy cabbage, separated into leaves, washed well, dried and set aside. Enough Canola oil to coat the bottom of a 4-quart pot 2 shallots, sliced 4 fat garlic cloves, sliced 2 15-ounce cans of tomato sauce 2 pounds of grass fed ground beef, preferably 85 percent 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup of bread crumbs or matzo meal 1 cup of grated Parmesan Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkling of dry oregano Sprinkling of garlic powder
Note from Phyllis: I did not use any rice in this recipe and the cabbage rolls came out perfect.
■ Tomatoes Stuffed ■ with Crabmeat Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes 1 pound of lump crabmeat 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 1 lemon 1 heaping tablespoon of capers, rinsed Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Directions: Cut about 1/2-inch from the top of each tomato at the core end. Scoop out the flesh and seeds. Place all of the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Blend well. Divide the crabmeat mixture among the four tomatoes. Chill until ready to serve. Serves four.
Note from Phyllis: You can substitute 1 pound of cooked shrimp for the crabmeat.
■ Stuffed Eggplant ■ Ingredients: 2 medium-size eggplants, scoop out the flesh and set aside. 2 shallots, diced 1 large red pepper, seeded and diced 1 zucchini, diced 1 large tomato, seeded and diced 1/2 cup of toasted pine nuts Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 4 tablespoons of olive oil Freshly grated Parmesan Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Toss the vegetables together in a bowl. Heat the oil over medium in a large skillet. Add the vegetables and sauté for about eight minutes. Add the eggplant and heat through. Place the eggplant shells on a baking dish. Stuff them with the mixture. Top with the grated Parmesan. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: This vegetarian side dish goes well with any entrée. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Directions: Heat the oil over medium-high. Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots and garlic and sauté for about eight minutes. Pour enough tomato sauce into the pot to cover the vegetables and remove from the heat. Using your hands, gently mix all of the remaining ingredients, except the tomato sauce, together in a large mixing bowl. You may need to add more bread crumbs or matzo meal and Parmesan if the mixture feels too dry. It should hold together but feel wet on your hands. Lay a cabbage leaf in front of you. Place a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture into the center of the leaf. Beginning at
the core end, wrap the leaf up like a blintz and secure them with toothpicks. Finish with the remaining leaves. You should have at least 10 to 12. Place them in the pot. Pour in remaining tomato sauce. Bring the contents to a boil, lower to simmer, place on the lid and simmer for at least 90 minutes. Serves four.
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I april 12, 2012
everal weeks ago, I tuned into PBS and watched Lidia Bastianich prepare stuffed eggplant. On another episode, she showed us how to trim and prepare globe artichokes for stuffing. Every time I watch her, I get hungry. Since I had a head of cabbage in the refrigerator, I decided to make stuffed cabbage. My grandmother and mother would stuff cabbage leaves with a mixture of ground beef and rice and simmer them in a tomato sauce. It is one of the finest one-pot wonders you can rely on in your repertoire. I love stuffed vegetables of all kinds. They are popular in Israel, Greece, Morocco and America. Whole Foods sells ready-for-the-oven stuffed peppers for just $4.99 a pound. Although ground beef is the meat of choice for stuffed vegetables, you also can use a mix of ground beef, pork and veal or just ground pork. There are many vegetarian versions of stuffed vegetables. One of my favorite buffet dishes is a cool platter of large cherry tomatoes stuffed with rice, orzo or couscous. Large tomatoes stuffed with tuna salad, crabmeat tossed with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice or chicken salad is a fine luncheon dish on a quiet Saturday or Sunday.

To be loved and know I was, to be looked up at not down upon. As I walked through the door, as you looked at my face, as you smiled without question as you felt my hugs and embrace. A friend without question, always by my side. I dont know even one human that could stand up to your pride.

A diamond a dozen After last year’s playoff disappointment, the Phillies face 12 tough questions. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
I
n 1855, poet Robert Browning penned the sentiment “Less is more.” In 2012, Phillies’ manager Charlie Manuel may argue against the Englishman as he enters his eighth year at the helm with stars Ryan Howard and Chase Utley on the disabled list. Last year’s squad claimed the franchise’s fifth-straight National League East title and scored a team-record 102 wins but fell to the eventual World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals in a heartbreaking five-game division series. To reduce the playoff sting, this year’s team must deal with these 12 inquiries. 1. Will Howard be any sort of offensive force upon his return? The 32-year-old has 286 home runs, all of which came without the thought of a rehabbed Achilles tendon on his mind. 2. Is Chase Utley close to retirement? For the sake of the local ladies, I hope not. For lovers of sweet swings, I hope not even more. 3. Will Freddy Galvis prove a decent hitter? Everyone expects solid defense from the rookie second sacker, but hits, especially ones off tough curveballs, keep fans
from groaning. 4. Will Jim Thome’s acquisition yield anything more than increased jersey sales? Thome has launched 604 home runs, but at 41, he has begun to look more like Humpty Dumpty than a lusty slugger. 5. Is John Mayberry Jr. destined to be a star? He has the physical tools, but, as Yogi Berra said, 90 percent of the game is half mental. 6. Will the outfield miss Ben Francisco and Raúl Ibáñez? Laynce Nix and Juan Pierre are not enough for you? Here is hoping Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino have career years. 7. Will Vance Worley have a sophomore slump? The Vanimal finished third in Rookie of the Year balloting after going 11-3 with a 3.01 ERA, yet hitters may be eager to tame his repertoire. 8. Does Cole Hamels deserve a contract akin to San Francisco Giant Matt Cain’s $22.5-million-per-year deal? Not according to the Miami Marlins. 9. Will Roy Halladay need to pitch his right arm off again? The Doc logged 484 and 1/3 innings the last two years. More runs mean more rest for the magician.
10. Will Joe Blanton make a solid fifth starter? The better question might be “Could Blanton even strike out Joe Myers?” 11. Will Jonathan Papelbon be a lightsout closer? Familiar with pressure from filling the same role in Boston, the 31-yearold hurler needs to keep the ball low in Citizens Bank Park to avoid becoming a new client for an area psychologist. 12. For how much longer will Manuel manage the team? At 68, he continues to have a brilliant mind. Putting it to other uses could become more probable if the Phils falter. Bonus: Five certainties 1. Pence will challenge for the batting title in his first full year in South Philly. 2. Cliff Lee will win the Cy Young Award. 3. Jimmy Rollins will continue to be averse to walks. 4. Carlos Ruiz will win the Gold Glove Award, ending Yadier Molina’s four-year run as the league’s best backstop. 5. Halladay will pitch another no-hitter.
