vy Cruz moved to South of South about two months ago.

year - involved beautifying a future park space, Carpenter Green, 1700 Carpenter St., which has been on a long ride from a dilapidated vacant lot to park, a title it hasn’t yet attained. During the cleanup, Cruz, who hadn’t ventured to that part of the neighborhood yet, found a variety of items, like wrappers, pieces of a toilet, golf balls and a can of beans as well as some partially buried articles. After learning of the space’s future, she was ready to continue to explore that part of the expanse. “Now knowing there’s going to be a park here, I’m probably going to come more often,� she said. After volunteers wrapped up and packed about 25 bags with debris from

the area the size of eight rowhomes, volunteers shifted to Chester Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., to tidy up and plant flowers in the learning place’s courtyards. “We knew that Carpenter Green wouldn’t’ take too long, so we wanted to come over here, too,� Abby Rambo, the civic’s project coordinator, said of the school. However, the attention redirected back to Carpenter Green that afternoon when 2nd District City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson stopped by for a big announcement. Over the last four years, the councilman helped to clean up the site that had two longtime vacant buildings, rezoned it from residential to a permanent

park space and provided a $110,000 check funneled from Neighborhood Transformation Initiative’s Qualified Redevelopment Bonds, which are aimed toward blight in designated neighborhoods, Steve Cobb, Johnson’s director of legislation, said. A new dad to a 6-month-old boy with wife Dawn Chavous, Johnson noted how he and his family enjoy walks to Center City’s Fitler Square. “I live at 20th and Ellsworth [streets], so I’m looking forward to this particular green space,� he said, adding “This is truly the community’s park.� The park came to be after residents ASS >67::G 1:3/<C> ^OUS ,,

To the Editor: Tom Cardella believes parents should be able to choose where to send their children (“The illusion of school choice,� April 2). The main question is: Who pays for it? Second question: Who has the final choice, the parent or the school? Cardella does not address that point. “Choice� has taken on a new meaning with the advent of charter schools. In the new age of education as competitive business, they are considered a free “alternative� to public and private schools. No wonder the rise of charter enrollment has been accompanied by closings in the public and private sectors. (My old high school, Saint Maria Goretti, even with boys added, has fewer pupils in its entire student body than we had in our senior class alone.) The main reason charters are so popular is that they are publicly funded yet man-

aged like private schools - with little oversight. They are supposed to follow the same general rules as district schools, but they make up some of their own, in particular how they admit and discharge students. A student cannot simply transfer to a charter school in the beginning of spring as he can a district school. Charters cherry-pick their populations with every means at their disposal. As attractive as that is to many parents, the school makes the final decision to admit. On that basis alone, choice is an illusion. Cardella is correct about charters’ funding. The school district per-pupil funds do follow them to the charter with no reimbursement from the state, even with the same overhead. What he does not mention is that, after December, a student can be expelled while his funding remains with the charter. Right before test-taking season,

By Corey Carter

charters are notorious for releasing their most difficult students, who return to the district minus the money. Thus, many charters accumulate reserve funds that district schools can only imagine and can boost their test scores by eliminating the harderto-teach students. Clever and unfair. I am glad to read Cardella recognizes the problems concentrated in urban education. There are no easy fixes for a system that must take all comers, including, and this is no exaggeration, children speaking 77 different languages. Expansion of charters, along with the absence of a fair state funding formula, has only added to that burden. I am also glad he recognizes that education is an essential good all citizens must support and that teaching is a true profession facing unique challenges. If we really want to guarantee choice, we must provide for a thorough and efficient education for all children, just as it says in our Constitution. We are not responsible for the private and the religious choices of every parent. We just dumped a governor who did not support public education. Let’s be very careful whom we choose to lead our city.

In reality, it will be used to discriminate against other American citizens who are homosexual. But let’s not stop there! How about we start refusing service to the family members of homosexuals?

“I’m glad she’s running; a lot of women are excited about it. � Kristel Dorsario, Broad and Jackson streets

“I think a woman president might be good for how the rest of the world sees our country. It’d be good to get a new perspective on the country’s issues.� Tony Dorsario, Broad and Jackson streets

right? Christian child adoption agencies will be next! We can’t have gays adopting children anymore, because it’s a “fact� they will teach them how to be gay. Let’s move on to the world of health care. God forbid if we have gays getting injured then going to a “Christian� emergency room. “We� might get infected with the gay “disease�! I don’t mean HIV/AIDS. I mean we could become gay by touching them in the course of trying to help them. It’s possible! I don’t care what scientists and facts say. They’re probably being controlled by the gays anyway. Next let’s see what we can do about “Christian� firefighters, police, ambulance drivers, sanitation workers, mail carriers, college professors, banks and restaurants. I know what you’re thinking. “It’s illegal for Federal employees to discriminate against homosexuals, and you’re correct, it is...for now!� But if we “Christians� work together, we can change that evil, un-American, anti-Christian law! I think we “Christians� need to support legislation that will make it a law to force all homosexuals to wear armbands to warn everybody they are gay. Perhaps we can make gay men wear the “double male� symbol, you know, with the arrow. Gay women can wear the “female symbol,� you know, the one with the cross symbol. On second thought, we had better not use that symbol with the crucifix! It may convey the wrong image we “Christians� hold so dear. Fellow “Christians,� if we put our minds together, I’m sure we can come up with a way to distinguish the evil, gay, anti-God, anti-Americans, from real, freedom loving, God-fearing Americans who everyone should be! God bless America! Unless you’re gay. This isn’t the America I envisioned when I gave three years of my life serving in the military. 1V`Wa 2]gZS A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

uthorities met with West Oak Lane resident Terrance Stockton on the afternoon of April 9, questioning the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania patient about a gunshot wound to his torso. The 22-year-old told them an unknown person had shot him near 25th and Wolf streets, refusing to divulge more details. Shortly after their interrogation, police located Edward Dollson behind the wheel of a bullet-riddled Ford Taurus near 40th Street and Woodland Avenue. Officials reportedly located a loaded Smith and Wesson in the vehicle, which witnesses in South Philly contend was the means of transportation that Stockton and his alleged 26-year-old accomplice, of South Croskey Street near McKean Street, used to engage in and escape from a shootout with the operator of a blue Chevrolet Suburban. Law enforcement agents, who are searching for the other automobile involved in the matter, revealed it might bear Delaware tags. They placed Stockton and Dollson in custody, charging the former, who had not posted his $1 million bail as of press time, with conspiracy, firearms violations and possession of an instrument of crime, and the latter, who had not posted his $25,000 bail as of press time, with receiving stolen property. They await an April 28 preliminary hearing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Two males assaulted and robbed a man in Marconi Park Tuesday. At 11:47 p.m., authorities responded to

two strangers approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The lead individual asked “Is this where you catch the ‘G’ bus?� When he told them to cross the street for the pickup spot, they grabbed him and lead him to Marconi Park, 2700 S. Broad St., where they punched and kicked him and demanded his property. The victim gave initial resistance, but the second offender placed a gun against his head, leading the individuals to search his pockets and wallet, the latter containing $40 and credit cards, Tolliver said. He last caught sight of them running toward the SEPTA subway exit on Broad Street and Oregon Avenue near Moyamensing Avenue. He described the first as black, 5-foot-9 to 6 foot and in his early 20s; having a dark complexion and a slim, muscular build; and wearing a gray hoodie; and the second as black, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8 and in his early 20s; having a dark complexion and a light beard; wearing a black hoodie and black pants; and armed with a gun. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

8OWZW\U 8W[S`a]\ Authorities arrested a West Oak Lane man for allegedly robbing a Point Breeze store. As first reported in the April 9 South Philly Review as “Gall waiting,� police reported to Met3ReW\ 8W[S`a]\ ro PCS, 1414 Point Breeze Ave., at 5:28 p.m. April 6, meeting with two store employees, learning from them that minutes earlier, an unknown figure came in with a gun and demanded cash. Using the black plastic bag that he supposedly produced, one worker placed the cash inside, with the gun wielder reportedly exiting and walking southbound on Point Breeze Avenue. On April 8, Edwin Jimerson allegedly entered another Metro PCS establishment on Frankford Avenue, with officials arresting him and charging him for that matter, the South Philly instance and an April 3 Northeast Philly-situated heist of yet another Metro PCS. Police charged the 24-year-old with possession of an instrument of crime, reck-

2ORRg WaacSa A West Passyunk man supposedly shot his father as the patriarch conveyed him to a rehabilitation facility last week. Kymere Corbin, of the 2000 block of South Bonsall Street, faces an April 20 preliminary hearing based on claims that on April 7, as Elbert Corbin Jr. and Tanya Bates, the latter the accused figure’s mother, were attempting to convey the 22-yearold to the Malvern Institute, the individual produced a 9mm semiautomatic pistol and inflicted one gunshot wound in his father’s head, police said. The elder Corbin, traveling along the Schuylkill Expressway, was able to stop the car, with Bates fleeing the scene, according to published reports. Police arrested the West Passyunk dweller shortly after and led him to a King of Prussia courtroom April 8. Judge William Maruszczak set bail at $500,000 and had him detained at the Montgomery County prison. Penn Presbyterian Medical Center personnel reported the injured male as being in critical but stable condition.

An at-large male assaulted an employee of a Bella Vista establishment Saturday morning. The store shift manager of Domino’s, 716 South St., opened the property for customers and was in the rear of the location when the front-door bell alerted her that someone had entered, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As she approached the front, the overseer had her neck grabbed, with the offender, who had barged through the closed employee door, barking “Where is the money?� The interloper took approximately $2,000 from the location, which captured the incident on camera. The employee, who sustained two punches to the back of her head, described the offender, whom she last saw running eastbound on South Street, as black and wearing a dark hoodie, a similarly colored scarf, shoes and gloves and light blue pants. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

/ UZOaa aVObbS`W\U Sf^S`WS\QS Authorities are searching for two peo-

ple who conspired to try to burglarize a Passyunk Square home. At 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a radio call of a residential burglary on the 1200 block of Titan Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, meeting with the chief complainant, who said he was sleeping upstairs when he heard glass breaking and his burglary alarm sounding. Venturing downstairs, he saw the lead offender running out the front door, leading him to follow, unsuccessfully, in pursuit. A witness also heard the glass shatter and told authorities she looked outside and saw the at-large criminal crawling through the front door of her neighbor’s abode. She also viewed him as he left the scene, adding that he fled from the environs with another male in a black Nissan Maxima, Tolliver said, with Pennsylvania tag partially reading “JMV.� The neighbor saw the vehicle make its escape southbound on South Iseminger Street then eastbound on Wharton Street. The occupants were both black, with the first being 20 to 25 years old, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and 120 pounds; having a dark complexion; and wearing a light blue hoodie and blue jeans; and the second as 20 to 25 years old; having a slim build; being clean-shaven; and wearing a red hooded top.

Police are hoping to detain a man who burglarized a Queen Village eatery. At 3:25 a.m. April 1, surveillance footage captured the image of the male as he gained entry into Ishkabibble’s II, 517 South St., by using a rock to smash the front-door glass. He removed $80 from a picture frame stationed on a wall and fled north on South Randolph Street toward Lombard Street.

015 could go down as the year that Philadelphia’s Millennials woke from their civic slumber to participate in local campaigns for City Council and steer political debate towards topics that concern them most. Maybe. Philly’s had an abysmal young voter turnout for local and state races in the past, with the exception of the galvanizing 2008 election of President Barack Obama. With a muchhyped mayoral and Councilmanic primary coming next month, a few local political action committees (PACs) are revving up the volunteer and donation efforts to compel candidates to care about the issues of particular concern to Philadelphians between the ages of 18 and 35. The 5th Square, a reference to City Hall, is a December-founded PAC with a distinctly urbanist set of interests. Its website (5thsq.org) is where voters can find platforms and opportunities to donate and volunteer, and it soon will have candidate score cards and endorsements. Of the nearly dozen platforms overseers have set forward, the big ones could be boiled down to bike lanes and protected bike lanes, SEPTA, parking, street sweeping, trash, parks, open data and fair governance and a Vision Zero plan adoption. The last one’s an important one to Geoff Kees Thompson, a resident of the 2200 block of Kimball Street and 5th Square’s chairman. As the platform says, “between 2008 and ’12, Philadelphia witnessed 8,690 crashing involving 9,051 pedestrians,� causing 376 major injuries and 158 deaths. The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia included the now-international concept of aspiring to zero crashes in its Safer Streets report and City Councilwoman Cindy Bass introduced a resolution to call for hearings for a Vision Zero plan in December. “We are being much more targeted in the issues that we’re going after. The success

that we’ve had is getting candidates to focus on our issues and one of those issues is Vision Zero,� Thompson, also the founder of a civic blog This Old City, said. In fact, the success of the blog and readers spurring him and his team to act is the main motivator behind 5th Square’s founding. “You have some great ideas, but what are you doing with them?� he said followers asked. They’ve raised nearly $15,000 in roughly two months through about 100 small donors. “We have two missions at The 5th Square: our first is to endorse candidates that support our issues, and the second goal is voter education on issues,� Thompson said. Which issues? “We are a pro-Urbanist PAC, which means we support candidates that support progressive zoning land use, transportation, public space, better park funding and governance reform,� he explained. He said their oldest board member is in their 40s with their youngest at 23, Southwark School, 1835 S. Ninth St, School Partnerships Coordinator and resident of the 1700 block of South 13th Street, Lily Goodspeed. “What I love about 5th Square is that it’s community-centered and -oriented, we’re building on things in our everyday lives that matter, the things that we tend to just accept without questions� advisory board member Karenina Wollf, who is a a cycling advocate and family practice and immigration attorney practicing out of 1815 E. Passyunk Ave., and a daughter to a Mexican mother who’s retiring at 25h and Christian streets, said.

Wolff has helped organize a South Philly Latino Business Organization and recruits immigrants into civic meetings that include information sessions about civic stuff like zoning. It’s been her calling to speak for the underrepresented, adding “you feel like you’re this ignored underdog, [but] knowing that there are people who want to help you improve and grow, it’s heartwarming. So many people are invested in each others’ success.� ACCORDING TO CENSUS reports, 70 percent of Philadelphia voters 18 to 24-year-old are inactive, including voters not registered. Forty-one percent of voters aged 25 to 34 are dormant, too. While Millennial engagement is part of 5th Square’s modus operandi, it is the explicit goal of ReadySetGo, another PAC whose chairwoman, Gabriela Gauracao, spoke from George Washington University, where she’s studying Security Policy. “We came together with the idea to galvanize Millennial participation in local elements, which are arguably the most important of our Philly life,� the 27-yearold said, adding the average age for their board is 29. They’ve raised about $7,000 primarily through their 400-strong listserv, calling for attention to the things important to Millennials: “job growth, quality of life, and education.� “Looking at numbers of Millennials that are in Philadelphia or have moved here in the last two years and how often officials point to the growth of Millennials here,� you’d think public servants would take heed, Guaracao argued. “However, these politicians aren’t politicians to this age

group once they’re elected,� she added, suggesting the Millennial rhetoric from current races is, frankly, “lip service.� Philadelphia 3.0 splits the difference between 5th Square and ReadySetGo - it’s motivating, sponsoring and encouraging young Philadelphians to take ward committee seats, civic association leadership positions, and naturally, Council seats. TJ Hurst, the 30-year-old PAC’s deputy director and a resident of the 2000 block of Christian Street., said 3.0 signifies a reboot in the city’s history. “There’ve only been a couple times where there’s been new leadership, and we kind of think it’s time to encourage more people to run,� Hurst explained. “The crux of it is we want to get more people involved in the political process and support independent-minded politicians.� They’ve logged 600 new voter registrants by canvassing in emerging neighborhoods of South Philly: on East Passyunk Avenue and in the Italian Market and Bella Vista. They’ve already endorsed six City Council candidates: Tom Wyatt, D (Atlarge), Derek Green, D (At-large), Isaiah Thomas, D (At-large), Paul Steinke, D (At-large), 7th District Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez for re-election, D, and Terry Tracy, R (At-large). Thompson encourages Philadelphians of all neighborhoods and ages to visit their site throughout the campaign process for impending endorsements and candidate assessments and noted it might be time for some new (and young) blood in City Hall. “Our average term for City Council candidates is 15 years, which is much higher than the national average,� he said, adding even his social media feed’s much more full of Hillary Clinton than any mayoral or Council candidate. “I see a ton of interest in Hillary, but very few people my age are talking about the mayoral race and even less people talking about City Council. We want to make sure that people understand how much power City Council has,� Thompson said. He believes we could see great changes this time next year if younger voters mobilize. “We believe that if just a couple more percentage points could turn out for the primary, we could see a totally different city.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

>67::G 1:3/<C> Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS located the space and petitioned for it to become a park - first to former council president Anna Verna in 2008 and then again in ’11 to Johnson. “We really saw that [space] as the last chance to do any significant green space besides pocket parks,� Lauren Vidas, South of South Neighborhood Association’s board chair, said after Saturday’s check presentation. Phase one, which involves mainly underground components, will be underway within the next month or so and must be completed by September to satisfy funding requirements. Besides Johnson’s endowment, the Philadelphia Water Department will contribute a to-be-determined figure for stormwater management features, while the neighborhood group will cover $25,000 worth of contract and sidewalk costs. Vidas hopes to have the park completed within a year, but funds still need to be raised for phase two, which includes the above-ground amenities, like a spray fountain and rain gardens. The Goldenburg Group, currently constructing Carpenter Square townhomes adjacent to the park, has vowed to contribute a $50,000 matching grant, but Vidas estimates phase two will cost $100,000 to $150,000. Once the project is completed, the civic plans to create a friends group to help maintain the park, but turn over the space to Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. But before that happens, the group doesn’t plan to waste any time in regards to using the space for community events after the completion of phase one’s leveling and

said. The club gathered at Capitolo Saturday for its latest opportunity to give back as it prepped the baseball field for Sunday’s softball league kickoff and tidied the rest of the site. Capitolo Advisory Council president Denise Eddis was thrilled to see Mad Hatters’ members - many of whom she knew from the neighborhood - helping out. “I’m real excited they all volunteered to come help out because if you can tell, it’s been the whole winter and nothing’s been done,� Eddis, of Ninth and Annin streets, said as some members flipped the bleachers on their sides to address accumulated dirt and debris. However, one of the organizers, who lives next door to Eddis, had been tidying up the site well before Nutter created the cleanup day. “This is my neighborhood,� Frankie Piacentini, the Mad Hatters’ community service rep, said. �I’ve been working here since I was 13.� And his childhood buddies who now make up the Mad Hatters never balked at the idea of volunteering at Capitolo, with tasks such as filling sink holes on the ballfield, painting base and backstop lines, cleaning up debris and removing hazardous fencing from the area. “As soon as I brought it up, everyone was like, ‘Yea, 100 percent,’� Piacentini said. But it wasn’t just Mummers helping out at Capitolo. Some of the softball league’s participants, including 10th-and-Federalstreets-resident Dave Caglia, joined in. “It’s where we spend a lot of time, so it’s good to be able to help out and give back,� Caglia, who also serves on the governance board for Capitolo’s garden, said.+(* Comment features.

an Merrill Peakes posits that the life of an actor is “a dicey one� where practitioners must learn not to let lamentations belittle their prospects for success. Beginning May 12, the former Queen Village inhabitant will have the odds in his favor for the 110th time, as he will portray The Player in a Washington, D.C.-situated production of “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.� “It’s a great, challenging part,� the 46-year-old said from the Arden Theatre Co., where he just completed a titular turn in “Macbeth,� of the figure, who, along with his troupe of Tragedians, looks to lead the lead characters to realize the frequent absurdity and perpetual brevity of life. “His job is to hijack the play, and mine is to search for the human being within the role.� The 1966 work by Tom Stoppard draws pieces of its plot from “Hamlet,� in which the Danish prince revises orders calling for his execution and has his childhood friends killed

and through which The Player, by way of “The Mousetrap� play-within-a-play during a performance of “The Murder of Gonzago,� channels the royal’s murdered patriarch. The existential tragicomedy has enjoyed remarkable success since its Scotland debut, with Peakes first partaking of its profundity in a 2003 Arden staging, teaming with South Philly resident Scott Greer to embody the doomed individual. “I wanted to take a crack at it again,� the thespian, who will venture to the familiar confines of The Folger Theatre, said. “I love when I have to call on full brain power for a project, and this is one such endeavor.� Tabbing Stoppard “a great wordsmith,� Peakes appreciates the scribe’s poignant analysis of humanity’s trappings and feels that his approach to its interpretation need no superfluous elements, as he believes, especially when handling a Shakespearean text, which he has often done for The Folger, that “the script is the Bible.� Reverent of the process of presenting a work, he anticipates enhancing his curiosity and cama-

B?<;IJOB;I raderie with his peers. “I love helping to tell stories,� the affable actor said, noting how diligent interactions with cast and crew yield intensified layers of information to his crafting convincing conveyances. “To be a part of a cohesion of humanity is a blessing, so I’m thrilled whenever I have an opportunity. Sometimes matters can appear daunting, but you have to leave your exhaustion behind and pursue your art.� FOR CONSIDERABLE STRETCHES of his life, Peakes preferred pondering a life on the links to one on stages, as he nourished a love of golf as a Michigan-bred youth. Earning All-State honors as a high school student, he walked on at Michigan State University and became a force at numerous events. Likewise familiar to him through his father, who founded the Lansing-based BoarsHead Theater, the acting world lured him into its environs and though he remains an avid admirer and occasional enjoyer of the sport, golf has not remained on par with theater. “I was raised in the theater, and I did many shows early on,� Peakes said of his maturation. “I thought about going pro as

FOOD STAMPS

a golfer, but then the acting bug bit me. Once I realized that, there was no turning back.� The figurative stingers led the performer, who credits BoarsHead personnel and Michigan’s diverse audiences for piquing his interest, to become a theater professional in 1991, with the scene serving as his sole source of income since ’99, the year before he commenced his seven-year stint in Queen Village. Having begun his journey with immense ambition, he still finds utter fascination in every assignment and derives intense gratitude from his fortune. “I want to become better each time,� Peakes declared, adding that he has told wife Karen, with whom he has a six-yearold son named Owen, that if he completes a season and feels he has not evolved, he will consider another career. “I think if I bring my ‘A’ game, I will help to up others’ work.� A “pretty goofy guy,� he has ensured his acquisition of greatness by being gregarious and grounded and has always enjoyed watching theater as a complement to presenting it. That infatuation has bred numerous friendships, especially in

Philadelphia, which he esteems as being an exciting theater town with “a ferocious amount of talent.� “No matter where I’ve been, I’ve relished the chance to be out there each day,� Peakes said. “I’ve definitely had a commitment to growing, and I think what’s also helped me is being nice to people. That gets someone noticed, too. So many folks think this is all about a person’s skills. Well, it is as long as we remember people skills are a big part of that.� Along with highly regarded roles in such locations as Denver, Louisville and Santa Cruz, his Philadelphia portrayals have won over crowds and critics, with Peakes collecting the 2003 F. Otto Haas Award for Emerging Philadelphia Theatre Artist and three Barrymore Awards. He has prided himself on seeking undertakings that will keep him searching for honesty, something that he finds sexy and appealing to present. Such searches reduce all reliance on what he referred to as an actor’s bag of tricks and helps him to put his stamp on every role, especially within the Shakespearean realm. “It’s like a snowflake,� he said with a

laugh. “Each time I head on the stage, I have an opportunity to achieve a different response and experience a different energy. It’s kind of like golf in the sense that though we go through repetition, nothing feels repetitive.� Though he has left the Arden for The Folger, Peakes anticipates a thrilling fall return for “Equivocation� with Greer, which will mark his 20th assignment for the Old City entity, and he has two Walnut Street Theatre gigs lined up for next season. He deems domestic bliss with his bride and their boy in Merchantville, N.J. as his passion and the primary factory in seeing himself as a very fortunate soul who, if life were a golf course, could say he has birdied, even eagled, many holes. “It’s not been without its challenges, but they’re not worth worrying about,� he said of his success. “It’s all about being prepared for what’s next.� SPR For tickets, call 202-544-7077, or visit folger.edu.

;

y word of the week is “kerfuffle.� Actually, it’s not my word of the week so much as it is that of Jon Stewart, outgoing host of “The Daily Show.� He used the perfectly legitimate word to describe the fuss being made over his replacement, Trevor Noah. This column is not about Stewart or Noah, no disrespect meant to those gentlemen, but rather the things that are leading into a kerfuffle. The definition of “kerfuffle� is any fuss that is caused by a conflict of views. Yes, this is a broad definition, and, yes, by this definition, most of us are in a constant kerfuffle. I confess that I like the sound of the word, which takes the snarky edge off a word such as “pissed.� Kerfuffle sounds like a mixture of caramel corn and marshmallow. The Phillies have me in a kerfuffle. By the time you read this piece, the baseball season will be a little less than two weeks old. For all I know, the Phillies might be on a rampage by that time and your columnist will appear even sillier than usual. But this is an organization that has spent more time figuring out the new menu items at the food concessions stands than the product it is putting on the field. One of the new food items is the Wayback 3x3 Burger, which consists of nine cheeseburgers stacked on top of one another on a roll. Forget about the fact that this sandwich should be served with a defibrillator, but how does someone eat it without unhinging his or her jaw? Another bad idea whose time has not come is the bright notion that what the ballpark needs most of all is more alcohol. In my kerfuffle, I might be tempted to make a comment that more alcohol is the only way viewing this Phillies team, after having paid $65 a ticket, might seem like a good idea. Irony aside, Section 142 will serve up cocktails and wine. The label on the wine bottle proudly bears the name “Phillies,� although by this writing, the vineyard may have already been sold to the Boston Red Sox for two minor league prospects. Keep in mind that if someone is going to eat a nine-cheeseburger sandwich, a little red wine might help to cut the cholesterol level. Be forewarned though; watching the Phillies attempt to score runs this season could elevate one’s blood pressure to dangerous levels. Managers at this time of year are supposed to be optimistic, and Ryne Sandberg is making a noble effort do just that. Note: noble efforts by

the managers of bad teams are usually rewarded by their firing sometime during the season. Noting the Phillies anemic offense (actually this offense gives anemia a bad name), Sandberg says that he will just have to be more “creative� in scoring runs. “Creative� is really not adequate to the task facing Sandberg. “Creative� might mean being aggressive on the base paths in the normal baseball sense of the word. With the Phillies, being offensively creative would mean bringing in Merlin the Magician as their hitting instructor. Please distribute magic wands to the starting lineup. Then there’s the recent kerfuffle over the Religious Freedom Act in Indiana (Arkansas also enacted a variation of the law recently). I am all for religious freedom. Our forefathers escaped England seeking religious freedom, but I don’t think Sam Adams was worried about the freedom NOT to sell a wedding cake when he and his fellow patriots tossed all that good tea into the harbor. Let me get this straight. Cake bakers all over the country are worried that selling those outrageously silly wedding cakes for gay weddings violates their religious freedom. Religious conservatives are reacting as if Christians are being burned at the stake (with apologies to fans of the Inquisition). The bakers explain that by selling their cakes for gay weddings, they are “celebrating� a union that offends their religious principles. This may be the loosest interpretation of the word “celebrating� since April 6 when I “celebrated� the start of this dreadful Phillies season If I were a baker and I sold the Kardashians a cake for a party, would I merely be selling a cake for an ungodly profit, or would I be celebrating the promiscuity and self-absorbed lifestyle of the Kardashians?... You know what else gets me in a kerfuffle? The prevalent idea that government has no obligation to honor the pensions negotiated in good faith by employees unions as part of their overall compensation package. Politicians routinely kick the can down the road rather than fund the pensions of their employees as they agreed to do And then when the can gets far enough down the road, politicians tend to bad-mouth those “greedy� employees for not wanting to cut their own pensions and take one for the team. Worse, it seems many voters side with the politicians rather than the working stiffs like themselves. I’m in a kerfuffle over the NCAA Tournament While CBS likes to play “One Shining Moment� over the highlights at the end of the final telecast, but that moment shines much more brightly for the schools and their highly-paid coaches than it does for the unpaid athletes. Most of the players never get to turn professional while the coaches and schools rake in big bucks off them. Kerfuffle. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

eftovers can leave one leery, leading to doubts about an item’s freshness and deliciousness. Meat and poultry can prove particularly alarming, so instead of fretting from having let those goodies age, use them immediately, as Kathleen Valle suggests in her Stuffed Mini Pepper Appetizers recipe. A commendable blend of nutrients, the concoction by the resident of the 2600 block of Dudley Street could very well function as an introductory dish for outdoor spring gatherings or serve as the star in a home-based meal. No matter its fate, one can be sure that the leftover-based creation will not survive the day. SPR

wning a bakery along East Passyunk Avenue was not Bonnie Sarana’s straight-out-of-college career plan. Instead, she ventured into the world of finance, handling retail brokerage sales of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. In 2007, however, she decided to leave the world of bulls and bears to enroll in the Culinary Institute of America based in Upstate New York. “When I decided to go to culinary school, my boss was my biggest inspiration,� the Northern Liberties resident said. “He learned to play the guitar in his late 40s. I was a good cook, but I wasn’t the best baker. If I was going to pay all that money to go to school, I figured I should do something I don’t know how to do.� Now she does. She even showcased her newfound skills on her wedding day, of all occasions, by baking and designing the must-see wedding cake. It consisted of alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate sponge cake and iced with strawberry, hazelnut and chocolate butter cream. “It was my wedding, I had to go all out,� she said. Living in New York, Sarana specialized in wedding cakes and gum paste work (hard sugars). Moving to Philly, marriage and the birth of her soon-to-be 2-year-old son, Aiden, took priority over owning a bakery. When she went shopping for a location, the spot at 1611 E. Passyunk Ave. felt like the perfect location to open Vanilya Bakery - the Turkish translation of the word vanilla as well as Sarana’s love for the flavor and the orchid plant from which it comes. “I didn’t know the area well,� she said. “I

knew the city, but I didn’t know a lot of the neighborhoods. This just felt like home.� For now, Sarana is the lone employee of the East Passyunk Crossing-based business, which has been undergoing a massive remolding since January. The good news is the reopening was scheduled for yesterday, complete with a sit-down area for coffee and tea - answering a request from her customers. With Flavors of the Avenue right around the corner, the month is shaping up as a fairly busy one, as the April 26 event — her first — calls for a large cupcake order. “I am pretty excited about the amount of people attending,� she said. “I am really looking forward to meeting more people in the neighborhood.� For those who are in the mood for a little baking tutorial, Sarana is sharing her recipe for Homemade Sugar Cookies. “It’s pretty basic and what I’ve used for years,� she said.

rendan Barnes excels at mathematics as an eighth-grade registrant at Chester A. Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., so when learning he and fellow Nu Sigma Sharks football player Terrell Barr had won Second-Team Pop Warner All-American Scholar distinction from a pool of 350,000 applicants, he prided himself on having overcome such overwhelming odds. “To be one of the few to have that recognition surprised me,� the 14-year-old said Monday at Chew Playground, 18th Street and Washington Avenue. “I’m very happy with my selection because I know it’s difficult to win the honor.� The resident of the 1900 block of Dickinson Street, who also scored placement on the Pop Warner Eastern Region Scholars list and nabbed merit on the Liberty Youth Athletic Association Pop Warner Scholar squad, the latter unit granting Terrell kudos, too, became aware of the national accolade through a March-issued letter, with the contents helping him and father Byron, who serves as the Sharks’ marketing director and assistant athletic director, to strengthen their commitment to the program. For the younger Barnes, a two-year veteran of the organization, the commendation also inspires him to foster increased academic curiosity. “I like to learn because there’s so much out there to discover,� the Point Breeze inhabitant said of succeeding at his South of South educational haven. “I’m just going to continue to be a strong listener and do my best with my assignments.� Terrell nurtures the same attitude. The 12-year-old sixth-grader at George W. Childs School, 1599 Wharton St., reveres reading, especially sports-related material, and confessed that the national praise will encourage him to perform even better at his Newbold facility. Considering that he and Brendan met the 96-percent grade-pointaverage that Pop Warner overseers require for consideration, the pre-teen definitely possesses an admirable disposition. “I feel a little pressure,� the resident of the 2600 block of South Sixth Street said of sustaining his scholastic success. “I love

my school and my teacher, so I think I’ll be fine.� The Whitman denizen, who has logged seven years for the Sharks, likewise found himself happy when hearing the fantastic news and anticipates adding enjoyment as he matures as a student and an athlete. “I know there’s a long time between now and when I’m grown, but I have ideas on what I want to do,� Terrell said. “I want to be a good student in the years to come, and I want to play in the pros as the quarterback for the Eagles.� THE ASPIRING SIGNAL caller has already risen to distinction for the Sharks’ Junior Pee Wee unit, the winner of last year’s Liberty Youth Robert Smith Bowl. He has also dabbled as a dribbler, but basketball never figures to conquer his gridiron gusto. “I love the responsibility,� Terrell said of being a quarterback. “My quickness really helps me to be a leader.� Brendan began his athletic odyssey as a baseball player for the Edward

the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, which last year celebrated its 100th anniversary, established in 1992. Through its cheerleading, tutoring and competitive sports initiatives, the entity, under the guidance of athletic director and Southwest Philly resident David A. Smith, looks to “promote development and cultural enrichment for adolescents in the Philadelphia area.� “It’s so rewarding to be a part of their growth,� Byron Barnes said of the youths, with the football practitioners di-

Program heads honored the foursome et al Saturday at the Vare Recreation Center, 2600 Morris St., and the Liberty Youth Athletic Association will laud them and nine more Sharks through April 24’s scholastic banquet. “I like that they recognized me as a football player and a student because I try to do well at being both,� Terrell said. “I have good role models, especially my friends Sincere and Kharee.� Brendan also acknowledged friends and commended his coaches for preparing him not only for the rigors of the football field, with Prep Charter High School, 1929 Point Breeze Ave., among the contenders to enhance his academic and athletic aptitude, but also the wonders of adult life, which he plans to explore as an engineer. “I’m happy to be

O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., but football soon came to run circles around the diamond-based sport. “I developed an interest when I was seven,� he said of his history with the pastime, noting that seeing “crazy catches and crazy hits� on television motivated him to pursue a different outlet for his recreational gifts. In switching, he joined a program that

viding into six weight classes. “I’ve been involved for two years, and I feel more keen about watching them advance and learn about themselves.� His son, an offensive lineman and a defensive tackle for the Midgets, and other Sharks had their applications undergo scrutiny first by Liberty Youth representatives, then Eastern Region individuals and finally Pop Warner national figures.
