here are thousands of Catholics living in South Philadelphia. In fact, it is a well-practiced and accepted tradition to ask “Which parish do you belong to?� Your answer might tell a South Philadelphian more than you know – where you grew up, where you went to school, who your relatives might be, or where your regular social haunts are located. Any shift or changes in one’s parish can be painful, but local church leadership, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and even faithful Catholics in South Philadelphia affected by the newest news are keeping a positive attitude, one that looks at the newest announcements as changes to strengthen the church for the future. “I love my church. This is my home. I’m raising my children here, and I want that for them,� Loredana SessoMrozi, a resident of the 1000 block of Watkins Street and a parishioner of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, 910 Watkins St., said “I had a beautiful childhood, and a lot of it was based on my community and my church. There’s nothing better than to know and feel

comfortable with everyone and to just be warm to people. That’s all.� Hers is one of the three churches implicated in a shuffling of administration and pastoral leadership, along with Annunciation B.V.M. Church, 1511 S. 10th St., and the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia, 1166 S. Broad St. The pastor and three members of each parish met with the local Parish Area Pastoral Planning Committee, where parish restructuring options were presented by the Archdiocesan Strategic Planning Committee. Sesso-Mrozi represented her parish, where mergers and partnerships were discussed. According to a letter from the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia, the models of collaboration entertained were a merger “by which two parishes are combined into one parish,� and a partnership “by which the pastoral leadership and administration of the parishes are combined, but they otherwise remain free standing parishes.� Seemingly, both models will go into effect July 1. All three churches are staying open. St. Rita and Annunciation will merge parishes, and Annunciation will be the parish church, and the new name ASS &$7+2/,& ^OUS ,,

5`OdS U`Odg To the Editor: I loved [staff writer] Bill Chenevert’s report on the recent fundraiser for the EPX Civic Association at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School (“Sunday Gravy smackdown�). It actually made my mouth water to imagine the fun of tasting all those wonderful red gravies and trying to choose the best. Like others of my generation, I remember when our East Passyunk Avenue neighborhood was saturated with the odors of Sunday morning cooking by all our Italian mothers and grandmothers. I recall also that we had macaroni (never pasta) three times a week (Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday) covered in that delicious homemade gravy (never sauce). And yes, every cook had her own recipe using only her senses to measure fresh ingredients. Bill mentioned all the flavorful meats that could be used in gravy, but I especially recall a rolled thin beef flank steak called braccioli seasoned with parsley, garlic, onions, cheese, and bread crumbs that broke under our forks and sent us to paradise. Thanks for the memories, Bill. Buon appetito! Gloria Endres South Philadelphia

@STcaW\U `STcaS To the Editor: I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say that the trash that is constantly loitering our city streets is a very frustrating and ongoing problem. I believe many people blamed it on the South Philly Review and the flyers that are delivered weekly, but that was resolved since they now come in plastic bags and placed on our porches or doorsteps. I don’t know about anyone else, but I believe that most of the problem lies with the sanitation and recycling collections. Every week, I find the same thing, trash all over my pavement and my recycling bin not fully emptied. The workers throw them halfway down the street, and then the search begins. I started out with two bins, but now I have only one, and it is cracked because of the careless trash collectors. I have seen them being thrown and think it is a disgrace. I try very hard to recycle everything that I can because we are told that it is very beneficial to the

environment, but the workers need to do their part as well. Sometimes I wonder why I go through the trouble when it seems to be in vain. I have always felt that having cans on every corner might be the solution to littering, but I doubt that would work because the few that we do have seem to be constantly overflowing and hardly ever emptied, so what would be the point? If our goal is to live in a more beautiful city, we have to do our part to keep our own properties up, but we also need a little help from the city employees. Maybe if we saw improvements being made to get our neighborhoods back in shape again, we might be more accepting of the constant tax hikes, so come on, guys; do us all a favor, and clean up your act!

want young homebuyers in the city? Neither I nor my wife is from Philadelphia. We moved here for grad school and decided to stay, get married in the city, and purchase a home in the Italian Market. Unfortunately, I have learned Philadelphia is not the place for us. Unless you are related to someone who works in the city government, you will never get any support. Instead, you will get a city that wishes to tax you out in favor of empty lots or homes that only the super rich can afford. The difference annually in my now-14-timeshigher taxes to me is about two student loan payments. With the actual bait-and-switch theft on my property tax, the higher wage tax for living here, and the new proposed taxes on my drinks, I see we are not welcome here. We love you, South Philly, but the City, unfortuantely, does not love us back.

BOfSa P`SOY To the Editor: Article VIII of the Pennsylvania Constitution mandates that all taxes be uniform and nonarbitrary. Unfortunately, the City of Philadelphia believes the Constitution does not apply to South Philly residents. This past week, my neighbors and I in the Italian Market received 2017 property valuations from the Office of Property Assessment that kept my home’s “total market value� the same as it has been since ’14 but increased my land value by more than 1,200 percent. That is not a typo. The City claims that somehow the land my house sits on increased in value from $7,500 to $101,000 overnight. That is a 1,245 percent spike. Yet the empty lot of the same size two doors down somehow remained valued at $7,500. What is really behind this shocking increase is the City’s attempt to remove my tax abatement. Like most new homebuyers and young couples here, we were enticed to purchase a home in Philadelphia due to the 10-year tax abatements. We did our research, ran the numbers, set a budget, and knew what our taxes would be for the immediate future, because with the abatement we only pay tax on the land value. So after we purchased our home in ’14, what has the City decided to do to us? It engages in a classic bait-and-switch tactic without warning by shifting nearly $100,000 from the home value into the land to water down our abatement. We were fraudulently induced into purchasing our house, and the City is attempting to strip away the abatement without actually changing the laws. It is a shell game whereby the Office of Property Assessment keeps the total market value the same but places the value into the land. The office might as well ask for my cell phone, wallet, and keys while it is at it. Who will hold the OPA accountable? Why wasn’t City Council consulted? Where is our new, South Philly-bred mayor? Does anyone actually

“There has been some petty stuff coming from the candidates. I’m wondering where is anyone with any sort of godly sense, too. I think that’s very important to convey.� Joanne Zappardino, 1900 block of South Sartain Street

Students have been hard at work all year, and it’s time for some well-deserved recognition. Before the words “summer vacation� start echoing through hallways, the South Philly Review and the Young Chances Foundation are looking to recognize the Rising Stars —some of the top performers in grades K through 12. Principals, guidance counselors, teachers, and community members – it’s your job to make sure your worthy candidates make the nomination list. Nominees must be from South Philadelphia or attend a school in the 19145, 19146, 19147 or 19148 zip codes. Being a straight-A student or valedictorian is a strong point, but not the only criteria we will consider. Maybe your student has made a dramatic academic turnaround since the first semester or overcome a personal hardship. We also want to hear about the talented individuals who excel in the classroom as well as numerous extracurricular activities. It can be anything from athletics to school clubs to volunteer work. Nominations can come through e-mails to editor@southphillyreview.com, hand-written submissions addressed to South Philly Review, 2448 S. 12th St., Philadelphia, PA 19148, or faxes to 215336-1112. Visit southphillyreview.com/newsbriefs to view the nomination form. The submission deadline is noon May 5, with the winners appearing in our special June 2 issue.

“I had never really cared for [Donald] Trump, but I like him now. We have to have someone who is not a part of the political establishment, and I think he is the answer.� Peter Catona, 1100 block of Ritner Street

t 9:10 p.m. Friday, an unknown figure approached two people on the 2800 block of South 10th Street and demanded money, placing his hand in his jacket as if he had a weapon, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He reportedly punched the duo’s female in the face when she refused to comply and pushed the male member against a fence, leading him to part with approximately $20. Five minutes later, two individuals were sitting in their vehicle on the 900 block of Bigler Street when someone approached the driver side window with his hand in his jacket and demanded their exit, Tolliver said. The motorist drove off and told authorities the stranger punched the aforementioned window. At 9:27 p.m., two figures were walking on 10th Street from Citizens Bank Park when someone asked them for money, with the inquirer supposedly trying to grab the first’s pocketbook and swinging at the second woman when she gave him only $10. At 9:50 p.m., police used flash information to stop Thomas Sullivan, of Perkasie, on the 2800 block of South Ninth Street and charged the 22-year-old with assault, recklessly endangering another person, making terroristic threats, robbery, theft, and attempted carjacking. He had not posted his $100,000 bail as of press time and awaits a May 3 preliminary hearing.

The proprietor of a local eatery will spend 10 months in prison for one count of failure to report and pay payroll taxes. On April 6, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice, announced the conviction of Michael Sullivan, of Fireside Tavern, 2701 S. Marshall St. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service determined that the 51-year-old owner and operator had failed to report and pay the aforementioned taxes for his employees. The former Philadelphia Traffic Court judge pleaded guilty to the charge on Oct. 20 and, because of a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Eduardo Robreno, will have to pay restitution in the amount of $58,314, undergo one year of supervised release, and pay a $25 special assessment.

On April 14, the Philadelphia Police Department issued the image of this man sought for a March theft in Pennsport. The wanted figure walked into Wawa, 1602 S.

Authorities arrested a West Passyunk resident for allegedly assaulting a male with an axe. At 4:41 a.m. Friday, police responded to a person-with-a-weapon call and reported to a home on the 2000 block of South Norwood Street. They observed a man and a woman standing in the living room, with the male complainant suffering from a laceration above his left eye, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They found furniture strewn about and axe marks on the dining room table, learning from the victim that he had come home and noticed his 52-inch flat screen television missing. Confronting the female occupant, he said they argued about the item and became involved in a physical confrontation, with the woman supposedly striking him with the axe. Police detained Karen Moore and charged the 49-year-old with possession of an instrument of crime, simple and aggravated assault, and recklessly endangering another person. She had not posted her $5,000 bail as of press time and awaits a May 2 preliminary hearing. SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview. com or ext. 124.

7) Feuding families abound: Familiarity can be a perplexing blessing. I am always hearing of households that suffer from strife and frequently think that many of their gripes would serve as solid plots. I certainly hope they would turn out with comedic endings rather than tragic results, of course. 6) Constant conflict confounds us: Parking troubles, health concerns, tax issues - These are to us what land battles, extremely limited life spans, and monarchal matters were to Shakespeare’s creations. 5) Our area is teeming with replicas of The Nurse: My first Shakespearean obsession was “Romeo and Juliet� (Thank you, Mr. Haub) for many reasons, including the presence of The Nurse. As Juliet’s personal servant, she is incredibly comedic and compassionate, much like many of the talkative, sweet, older ladies who are quick to deliver advice to youths (and yours truly) in our environs. 4) We experience many cases of mistaken identity: With all of the times that I hear “It wasn’t me� and “I didn’t do anything,� (or “nothing - Damn their grammatical souls, right, Mr. Haub?) from my office window, I have begun to think I am stuck in a Shakespearean comedy, where instances of mistaken identity abound. 3) We are good at using strong language: Read Shakespeare enough, and you will discover (and perhaps appreciate) that the man was bawdy! The puns fly in his texts, and while many of us might not be as verbally gifted, let’s just say we come up with some pretty hilarious ways to express our wants, desires, fears, and grievances. 2) We have great storytellers: I read the canon and marvel at how many wonderful tale spinners Shakespeare created. When in the mood for comedic relief or a dose of seriousness, I know I can rely on fellow South Philadelphians to emulate them by spinning a wonderful yarn. 1) We are never short on characters: Shakespeare’s plots, whether original or modified from other texts and sources, are rich but would be trivial without great characters to deliver his gorgeous lines. We have a surplus of personalities here, too, who remind us that to thine own selves (and others, while we are at it), we must be true.

aturday will mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, my absolute favorite writer. If you ever doubt that this man has played a huge role in shaping our lives and language, I beseech you to pick up any of his works so as to bask in his brilliance. With the Bard on my brain, I decided to list 10 ways that South Philly reminds me of a Shakespearean play. 10) The ease with which we prove Jaques a genius: In “As You Like It,� Jaques offers the famous “All the world’s a stage� speech that discusses how we must manage the difficulties that seek to strip of us of our delights. When one looks around South Philly and sees residents doing their best to put food on the table for their families, it becomes obvious that Big Bill, as Mr. Charles Haub, my freshman year English teacher at St. John Neumann High School, dubbed him, knew that nobody’s journey would be a walk in the park. 9) Our neighborhoods have plenty of people who talk to themselves: Shakespeare liberally allowed many of his chief characters to deliver soliloquies to give audiences some insight into their interior dilemmas. Anyone with enough walking experience through South Philly has witnessed enough folks who seem to be yearning for a chance to hit the stage themselves. 8) Life here has many complex plots: Maybe I am in the minority, but I would bet that most of the people who call South Philly home are friends or relatives to individuals who are struggling with multiple matters, including financial misery, romantic misfortune, or personal misdirection. Many Shakespearean works thrive on this trinity.

he Charter Schools Office (CFO) arm of the School District of Philadelphia recommended that charter renewal applications receive either a pass or fail verdict this week, and two South Philly schools are in trouble. Of the nine schools reviewed, four applicants were rejected. In addition to John B. Stetson School in North Philadelphia and Olney Charter High School, Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., and Universal Vare Charter School, 2100 S. 24th St. received rejections.

fying discrimination. This is a small step towards equality,� Wilcha affirmed. “I think a majority of Philadelphians don’t want what’s happened in North Carolina or Mississippi.� Major stars have pulled out of professional engagements in North Carolina because of discriminatory legislation. Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam have been shining examples, and Mayor Jim Kenney’s LGBT liason, Nellie Fitzpatrick, agrees. “It’s a powerful statement,� she said of both Wolf’s signature and artists taking a stand. “Individuals, whether they’re a mayor or a city or a governor of a state or a rockstar, they are going to the end of their jurisdictional power to say that this is not what we stand for. They’re using their voice and the power that they have to be on the right side of things and to push for equality.� One way that LGBT folks in South Philly have been receiving encouraging affirmations

The charter contracts typically last five years. Fourteen schools underwent reviews last year and 25 will receive them next year. Three Mastery Charter schools met approval, but none are South Philly-situated. “Academic success is the primary consideration for charter renewal,� a School District statement said. “A charter school that does not meet the standard for academic success will be considered for nonrenewal regardless of ratings in the other two domains.� DawnLynne Kacer, executive director of Charter Schools at the District, explained the three domains in detail: Academics; organizational viability and compliance; and financial health and sustainability. Both schools were deemed Renaissance Schools, “schools operating under the District that

were doing so poorly. Since the District last controlled the school, we would expect that it would improve, [preferably at] small and consistent improvements over time,� Kacer explained. Sadly, a review of records, test scores, and files, combined with on-site visits, interviews, observations, and meetings, yielded grim results. “We found that there was a decrease in performance at Vare in math, decreasing 10 percentage points,� she said, but noted that English Language Arts (ELA) scores weren’t as low. “At Audenried, there was a 12-percentage point decrease in math and a 14-percentage point decrease in ELA.� The schools won’t have to close immediately, and the School Reform Commission will accept or reject renewal recommenda-

tions on April 28. The schools can appeal renewal rejections all the way up to the State of Pennsylvania. “Obviously, we are disappointed and disagree with those recommendations,� reads a response from Universal Companies. “We are proud of our students, teachers and Principals at Audenried and Vare. All of us at Universal will continue to work with [the School District] and our parents on our number one priority, educating our scholars and preparing them to compete successfully in the 21st century. We will make our case to the SRC when the recommendations are on their agenda and will respond thereafter in a timely and appropriate manner.� - Bill Chenevert SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

n April 7, Governor Tom Wolf signed two executive orders that, according to a release from Harrisburg, “expand protections from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender expression or identity for state employees and, for the first time, employees of contractors doing business with the commonwealth.� They are said to have been signed because the Pennsylvania Fairness Act remains stalled in the state’s General Assembly. “With no sign that Republican leaders plan to free this bill that has broad, bi-partisan support, I am taking action to protect those that I can and send a signal to the country that Pennsylvania is open for business no matter who you are or whom you love,� Wolf said.

His orders are receiving praise from LBGT advocates in the wake of regressive legislation passed in North Carolina and Mississippi that essentially legalizes discrimination based on sexuality or gender identity. Business owners and advocates joined Wolf when he ceremoniously signed these orders, and one of them was Philadelphia’s Independent Business Alliance’s executive director, Zachary Wilcha. “Throughout Philadelphia, there are a lot of businesses that think it’s very important to make sure that LGBT folks know that they are welcome as customers, they’re welcome as people who could do business with them in some way,� the Point Breeze resident said. The orders don’t actually immediately trickle down to, say, East Passyunk Avenue businesses, but it’s a step and a signal. “The orders send a signal to other states that have been passing these reprehensible bills codi-

that their identities aren’t worthy of lawful discrimination is mixers and socials coordinated by the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District (EPABID) and the South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA). EPABID executive director Renee Gilinger came on board in December 2008 and attended an LGBT fundraiser that winter called Toy for the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund (DVLF). She ran into five sets of friends who said “there’s nowhere to go.� The first one, in March ’09, had meager ambitions but a huge turnout. “Lynn [Rinaldi, owner and chef at Paradiso, 1627 E. Passyunk Ave.] was so happy to host it – we thought maybe we’ll get 30 or 40 people, and we had 150 to 200 people show up,� Gilinger, who modeled Queers on the Avenue (QOTA) after DVLF’s Our Night Out, a rotating LGBT mixer held at different restaurants each month, explained. “We’ve done them every month since March of 2009, we never miss it, and we’ve never skipped one. We had one at the POPE [, 1501 E. Passyunk Ave.] in a foot of snow, and people still showed up.� QOTA’s set for a big block party celebration at Metro Mens Clothing, 1600 E. Passyunk Ave., 1 to 5 p.m. April 30. Jet Wine Bar, 1525 South St., is the destination for an LGBT mixer 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday organized by SOSNA. “Eventually, we’re going to realize that you just can’t discriminate against people anymore for who they love or why they are who they are. It’s going to require a shift in understanding – when we go to work we want to be treated like human beings – let us do our job and contribute to a vibrant economy,� Fitzpatrick explained. “Changing laws is far easier than changing hearts. There’s a cultural change as well; that’s really where the next big step is.� SPR

for that parish will be Annunciation B.V.M. The new Annunciation church will enter into a partnership with St. Nicholas of Tolentine, and this new partnership will have an Augustinian pastor (as opposed to a Diocesan pastor). The biggest changes? St. Nicholas and St. Rita were already receiving pastoral leadership from Augustinians, but Annunciation will lose its Diocesan pastor. St. Rita parishioners, however, are effectively losing their parish, even if they can attend services in the building. Kenneth A. Gavin, director of communications for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, assuaged concerns for SPR’s Catholic readers. “We are cognizant of the fact that parish mergers will bring sadness and pain. For many people, the link to their parish community is part of their identity,� he wrote. “As a community of faith, however, we are more than any one church building or parish. Change is rarely easy, but with prayer, faith, and hard work we can and will build the strongest Catholic Church possible in Philadelphia.� “I CAN UNDERSTAND the anxieties. It’s a little bit of a different setup. It’s not always easy,� Rev. Nick Martorano, pastor of St. Nicholas, said. “There will be some working together. That’s

what this is all about – it’s really about serving the people and giving them a better experience of church and of parish life and evangelization.� His sympathies were with St. Rita parishioners. “St. Rita will be turned over to the Shrine, and the people will now become a part of the Annunciation parish,� he explained. Rev. Joseph Genito agrees but also stresses that not very much will change in practice. “People can choose to go to either Annunciation Church or St. Rita Church to fulfill their parish obligations, but the parish church, officially, will be Annunciation and St. Rita is the shrine,� the Saint Rita-stationed figured explained. “It’s just a little difference in administration. We’ll still administer the sacraments. We’re going to live as one community.� That, it could be said, reflects the Augustinian nature of its order. “We don’t work alone. You won’t find an Augustinian in a parish all by himself with no support and no one to work with,� Genito stated. It will be “a community of men who will be able to help and cover and support each other. Our lifestyle affects the way we preach, it affects the way that we administer in a parish and a shrine. Diocesan priests, for the most part, are individuals and they are alone – it’s a very solitary lifestyle.� Genito will stay on as the pastor of the Shrine’s chapel, but not as a pastor at St. Rita: “they’re losing their pastor but no pastor stays forever.� “We are a religious community all over the world,� Martorano noted,

explaining that their headquarters are in Villanova. “We’ve been serving in this community for over 100 years at St. Nicholas and St. Rita. We go wherever our people are, from Massachusetts to Florida. We can serve in any diocese.� Some parish versus parish sentiments may arise, but Mrs. SessoMrozi says that kind of territorialism isn’t healthy. “For us three parishes, this is the best case scenario. You can’t ask for more than having your church staying open,� she argued, and offered an apt anology. “It’s just like when you get married and you inherit other people and you grow your family and it gets larger. In the end, everyone knew what was best for everybody.� “In short, this isn’t about a struggle and the faith isn’t dwindling,� Gavin said when asked if this reflects the idea that churches are simply struggling. Factors considered include “demographic shifts in Catholic populations, concentrated density of parishes in a limited geographic area, history of declining Mass attendance and sacramental activity, increasing economic challenges, a decrease in the availability of clergy to staff parishes, and a review of facilities.� Gavin concluded that “we hope that people come to the realization that our shared Catholic faith is not about buildings but about Jesus Christ himself.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

An East Passyunk Crossing resident is revering her opportunity to perform in a cemetery-situated take on an epic poem. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a

W

hen commencing her acting career as a Californiareared high school student, Merri Rashoyan found herself consumed with courting opportunities and cultivating means to mature as a performer, with distinction in a Shakespearean competition as the biggest evidence of her earnestness. Always enamored with the theatrical world’s offerings, especially the physical challenges, the 24-year-old is enjoying her involvement in “a high adv e n t u r e ,� playing five characters in

Review Editor

The Renegade Company’s “Beowulf/Grendel.� “There’s so much to be thankful for because of this show,� the resident of the 900 block of Moore Street said of the work that draws inspiration from “Beowulf,� an Old English epic poem attributed to an AngloSaxon bard. “I’m really proud that it’s opening a new realm for me, since I was able to do some writing and piece together some music for it.� The East Passyunk Crossing dweller and two other women are handling the 64-minute concept by director Maura Krause through Sunday, with Southwest Philly’s Mount Moriah Cemetery as the setting. The worldpremiere strengthens the mission of Renegade, under South Philly denizen and artistic direc-

tor Michael Durkin, to celebrate, challenge, and deconstruct the iconography of quintessential artworks and create theatrical pieces that repurpose those works, with Rashoyan particularly pleased that females are the focus of the interpretation. “I had no real knowledge of the text before Maura approached me,� the actress said. “This project, then, is my exposure to ‘Beowulf,’ and it’s a real delight, especially since women are taking on such a masculine work.� Renegade’s release for the endeavor notes “Enter the cemetery. Follow one of two figures, standing in the sunset. You won’t know if you have yoked yourself to Beowulf or Grendel -- until the end. There is a monster in the dark, atop a pile of bodies. Will you be able to see clearly enough to know who it is?� That sense

B?<;IJOB;I of mystery ends up intensified thanks to the setting, which Rashoyan deems “a spooky, spooky place.� A character in its own right, the site makes for an interesting experience for the hires, with the local declaring “Each show is a war with the space.� “This is one of the most physically demanding works for me,� Rashoyan said of the promenade style piece. “We have to adapt, too, and that’s a good challenge because it teaches additional perseverance and devotion to a goal.� With The Poet and Grendel’s Mother among her handful of assignments, the poised presence loves that she has been able to acquire a richer appreciation of the text and placement within, as the promotional material says, “a world where storytelling is always suspect, and any deed can wear the guise of honor.� “The epicness of the whole process and the nature of ‘Beowulf’ is what really struck me,� Rashoyan said. “It’s pretty easy to feel small in comparison to such a time-tested story, so I love that we’re putting our mark on it, and I love that I’m doing so with Renegade because it likes to take risks and challenge conceptions about how far we can go with our mastery of it and desire to make some-

thing out of it for our lives.� THE LOS ANGELES product is akin to Renegade in that during her initial years as a theater practitioner, she considered herself “very bold.� Long possessive of a pull toward theater, she chose to pursue the discipline as a high school sophomore, with “The Crucible� as her initial production. “It was the coolest thing I’d ever done up to that moment,� Rashoyan said of her participation in the Arthur Miller-penned staging. “I became more and more compelled to see what was possible for me as a performer.� Theater beat out history for her affection, with the thespian confessing her admiration for high school instructors who possessed such a penchant for conveying the past that their lessons made sagas sound as if they had come from a soap opera. Teacher Adrienne Alvarez proved her chief theatrical influence when at AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School, encouraging her comfort as she studied cherished works, including the Shakespearean canon. “When you pick up the rhythm and really invest in the content, there’s so much to gain from reading a Shakespeare play,� Rashoyan

said. “I became psyched to get at the heart of the text and broaden my emotional investment in the plots.� Claiming the English-Speaking Union Los Angeles Branch regional competition crown, she headed to New York in April 2009 for the national Shakespeare pageant, placing in the top 15. “I bonded with so many other students with such a pull toward this life,� Rashoyan said of her Empire State sojourn, which included a Broadway stop to see “Waiting for Godot� and her performance of a sonnet and a monologue. “I started to find my people, and I came to realize where I feel most comfortable.� Winning a scholarship as “Most Promising Young Person� from the University of the Arts, she chose to matriculate at the Center City-headquartered institution and quickly connected with Philadelphia, finding it a supreme source of friends and a terrific influence on her tenacity. “I came here very hungry to learn more,� she said of what has become a six-year love affair with the metropolis. “My education provided me with so much, and I have met some outstanding people who really think the world of this way of life because it’s thought-

provoking, honest, and instructional.� With new play development and devised theater as passions, Rashoyan touted two PlayPenn experiences and involvement with the 2014 FringeArts Festival through “Mad Blood and Other Beauties,� which she dubbed “‘Romeo and Juliet’ spun on its head,� as key to her evolution, with “Beowulf/Grendel� another thrilling component of her burgeoning career’s allegiance to novelty. “You’ll never hear me say there’s anything wrong with Shakespeare or other old works,� she noted. “It’s great to see original work looking to teach audiences, too, though.� Firmly planted on the East Coast, Rashoyan, who soon will appear in “Strange Tenants� for Sam Tower + Ensemble, looks forward to further immersion into the theater scene and to increased interactions with her peers in South Philly. “I enjoy the vibe down here,� she said. “I’ve always liked history, and it has that plus a ton of potential.� SPR

34TH YEAR IN THE PIZZA BUSINESS!

any columns and articles have already been written since Ed Snider passed away last week. The owner of the Flyers and founding father of the National Hockey League franchise in Philadelphia was eulogized by most of the local media. This column is not written to discredit the notion that Snider was a sports icon here. Neither is it meant to deny any of his considerable accomplishments. The fact is that I met him only once at a Christmas Party that included members of the Flyers organization and radio station WIP where I worked as weekend sports talk show host. But sometimes when public figures die, we deny their complexity as real human beings and turn them into cardboard saints. My father always said, “Do not speak ill of the dead.� If the dead are to remain important to us as living human beings, we should provide balance. Balance, then, is the purpose of this column. The first time I heard anything about Ed Snider was before his acrimonious split with Eagles owner Jerry Wolman and his organization. Someone inside the organization mentioned Snider as undercutting Wolman, surrounding himself with loyalists and using a player to spy inside the locker room and report on other athletes. The much-publicized business breakup between Wolman and Snider came as no surprise. The feud was worse than the one between the Hatfields and McCoys, only this one never died. They remained bitter enemies into the grave. Fast forward to October 19, 1967 when the Flyers played their first NHL game at the Spectrum. Ed Snider was the driving force that brought Philadelphia into the wonderful mania of pro hockey, although at the time only about 7,800 people showed up for the game. I had written a column for this newspaper heralding the advent of hockey in Philadelphia and caught hell for it from the original Review owner, Leon Levin. Unknown to me, Levin had his own feud going with Snider and admonished me never to write about the team again, desiring not to give Snider any free publicity. As an aside, Mr. Levin (yes, he, too, liked being called “Mister�) assured me hockey would never make it in Philadelphia. Snider outlasted and was more successful than Jerry Wolman. He outlasted Leon Levin, too. His hockey team won the hearts and minds of a loyal core group of sports fans in this city. In his club’s winning the Stanley Cup two seasons in a row in the mid ’70s

and defeating the legendary Red Army team in ’76, Snider’s legend grew as much as did that of his team. The fact that the team hasn’t skated around the rink carrying the Stanley Cup aloft seems not to have made a dent in either fan loyalty or Snider’s reputation as a winner. This despite the fact that some fans have always felt that Snider’s short-term vision for the team hurt its chances, until oddly enough this season when he agreed to allow his general manager to go with a youth movement. Unlike the Eagles while playing at Veterans Stadium, Snider never allowed dissenting banners either in the Spectrum or the Wells Fargo Center. While the Vet was festooned with banners vilifying then-unpopular Eagles owner Norman Braman, there was never a discouraging word, at least on a banner, at the home of the Flyers. That was no accident. Snider not only didn’t brook dissent from his paying customers, he didn’t take criticism well from members of the media. Some of them recounted such episodes in the columns they wrote as a light note, but there was real intimidation of the sports media by Snider and members of his organization, and there was nothing light about it. In point of fact, Snider and his corporation, known as Spectacor at the time, took ownership of WIP while I was working there in the mid-’80s, and I was witness to that intimidation first hand. Much to my chagrin, I found that anytime the Flyers organization discerned one of my comments about the team that it deemed negative, the studio phone would light up and a member of the organization demanded to go on the air to refute me and place a positive spin on the story. One time, even legendary Flyers announcer Gene Hart played the protector for the Flyers. If I or any sports host is factually wrong, we welcome correction, but most times it was a matter of opinion. No other professional sports team in town was as thin-skinned. Snider played a wonderful philanthropic role in the community, particular with youth hockey, but I smile when I think of how one of the first things his minions at Spectacor did was cut the number of attendees at the annual Christmas Party the next year. In retrospect, Snider’s legendary hatred of the Soviets and, by extension, their players, was understandable. The Soviets were not letting Jews emigrate, among other horrors. His refusal to allow Soviet players on his team long after other NHL franchises were doing so likely hurt the Flyers, but it was a matter of principle. His decision to honor Sarah Palin when she was campaigning as the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee was beyond the pale for many of us at the game that day. Hey, it was Ed’s team, Ed’s arena. It seemed as if he even owned the song “God Bless America.� SPR

A

h, pleasant temperatures! Nice weather inspires many dreams, including the wish to experience bright sunshine in never-visited locations. If your budget cannot cover a fancy trip to enjoy culinary delicacies, imagine that you are a wayfarer by making this Mediterranean Spring Salad submission from Joanna Schwartz. The resident of the 2200 block of South Hicks Street presents a gluten-free take on her grandmother’s traditional Mediterranean tabouleh creation, with cucumber and avocado added. The Newbold dweller suggested adding corn niblets or chickpeas and noted it makes a great partner for fish and chicken options or as a fiber-rich friend to wraps or toasted pita bread. SPR

calamari were along the other side. This is a composed salad in the French style, and it won me over. The dressing on the greens was light and imparted a slight ginger flavor. The sauce on the seafood was also reduced. Each piece of fish was spot on. I’ve been served rubbery, overcooked shellfish in a number of places. After several attempts, I discovered it is difficult to eat avocado with chopsticks. Foo has selected several teas from China. I enjoyed organic black tea, ($6) which I allowed to steep at the table. The tea leaves were placed in a glass infuser that sat in a glass teapot filled with boiling water. The teapot sat on a stand with a small candle inside. It kept the tea hot all through dessert. There is quality coffee ($4) for those who covet it. The warm pineapple upside down cake ($11) is large enough to share. There are no pineapple rings, maraschino cherries, or cloyingly sweet syrupy topping from the wretched versions of my childhood. This rich cake was baked with paper thin slices of sweet pineapple and topped with mascarpone ice cream. A crumble of chopped cashew nuts with pink peppercorns may appear odd, but it worked. A pretty dome of spun sugar was placed on top. I did not notice the television over the bar when we sat down. We asked our server if he could turn on the Phillies game without the sound. I sat on a comfy banquette, and the walls behind me were lined with mirrors. Edward got the chance to watch the game in the mirror, which added to the delight of our perfect meal. Four tips of the toque to SuGa. SPR

Essen Bakery’s Honey Cake

n preparing to open Essen Bakery, 1437 E. Passyunk Ave., Tova du Plessis researched Jewish history in South Philly, finding that her people once comprised “a modest yet vibrant community� here. The environs are no longer teeming with Jewish individuals, but, thanks to positive reactions in the location’s first two weeks, those who are happy to call this expanse home, as well as every other figure with tempted taste buds, will likely lodge her establishment in their culinary annals. “It feels completely natural to serve foods from my upbringing,� the 30-year-old said inside the compact brainchild. “These items are quite personal to me, so I love to share them with our customers as a cultural nod to my Jewish ancestry.� The inhabitant of the 1100 block of Tree Street tabbed as “a dream come true� the chance to helm a spot within walking distance of her residence. Having acquired the space from Jessie Prawlucki, who ran Belle Cakery at the address and who oversees Fond, 1537 S. 11th St., with husband Lee Styer, in “a stroke of luck,� du Plessis is enjoying her second major interaction with novelty since July, when she and beau Brad welcomed their daughter, Lily. With an immense amount of admirable experience gained through her maturation in South Africa, education at the Culinary Institute of America, and affiliation with Citron + Rose, Le Bec Fin, Avance, and the Rittenhouse Hotel, she loves having actualized the goal of business ownership and has reveled in beSuGa coming a newcomer to the thoroughfare, with % AO\a][ Ab the April 7 opening fulfilling a desire she had # % % &'$& nourished for at least three years. acUOPgT]] Q][ “I like putting our name out there because I take pride in our preparation and execution,� Comment on this restaurant or review at southdu Plessis said of the Passyunk Square haven phillyreview.com/food-and-drink/reviews. that gives homage to her pastry arts proclivity.

ince the 1970s and into the ’80s, a number of chefs and restauranteurs have left their unique imprint on Philadelphia cuisine. Georges Perrier, Jean-Marie LaCroix, Steve Poses, and Stephen Starr placed our city on the international culinary map. One woman stood out. Chef Susanna Foo. Foo received acclaim across America. She married Asian ingredients with French technique and created something truly unique. Foo graduated from The Culinary Institute of America. At Perrier’s suggestion, she moved her restaurant from Chestnut Street to Walnut Street. I remember how difficult it was to book a table. When she closed her restaurant and moved to St. David’s, many of us felt a void. The good news is Foo is back in Center City. She and her son Gabe opened SuGa on Sansom Street. It is in the running for the best new restaurant of the year. SuGa is a combination of Susanna and Gabe. The restaurant is upscale casual, comforting, and sleek. The lighting is perfect and the staff trained to perfection. SuGa is open for lunch, brunch and dinner. We opted for a Sunday brunch on a sunny day. A glass of Persecco ($9) and an old-fashioned screwdriver ($9) seemed fitting as we discussed the menu. Every item was tempting. Foo is a master at putting ingredients together to form a perfectly tasty dish. Each ingredient on the plate has a reason for being there. The dumpling sampler for two ($22) was a fine introduction to our meal. The mushroom dumpling was filled with beautifully seasoned duxelle (French term for finely chopped mushroom) and simply steamed. The lamb dumpling was the only one that was pan-seared and was not a bit greasy. I also enjoyed the curried chicken because this type can be dry. The spinach dumpling mixed with tofu would warm any vegetarian’s heart while the shrimp and pork dumplings were winners as well. The dipping sauces were soy-ginger, a creamy carrot and a slightly spicy clear Thai sauce. Chinese eggplant ($10) is a dish I often order in an Asian restaurant. Few chefs have mastered this dish. Foo has, indeed. Chinese eggplants tend to be less bitter than their larger, plumper cousins. The eggplants were cooked in a coconut curry sauce that beautifully enhanced the flavor of the subtle eggplant. The sauce was reduced in the French fashion. Seafood salad ($18) was a surprise. A cool mound of mixed greens, including radishes and Napa cabbage, was placed on the side of the plate. Slices of ripe avocado were placed near the greens. Warm shrimp, diver scallops, and

s she set off an air horn late Sunday afternoon to send second- and third-graders on a half-mile run, Elizabeth Ford beamed with pride, with the youngsters’ eager limbs and positive attitudes leading her and supporters to cheer every quest for the finish line. Gorgeous weather and gregarious interactions at Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, helped the participants in the Healthy Kids Running Series to have an amazing opening session, with four more gatherings scheduled through May 15. “There’s just so much potential for fun and growth here, and that’s wonderful to encourage,â€? Ford said from the recreation site’s picnic area 18. “The children with us today are taking a great step toward being more confident in themselves, and what a beautiful day for that 1][[c\Wbg 1]]`RW\Ob]` 3ZWhOPSbV 4]`R ZSR bVS SOUS` U`]c^ ]T to occur!â€? aSQ]\R O\R bVW`R U`ORS`a b] bVSW` Âż `ab `OQS¸a abO`bW\U ZW\S P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u The Girard Estate resident is marking her first season as a community coordinator for Healthy Kids, a 26-state entity inaugural meeting.

Onlooker Gus Infante, of the 1700 block of Bainbridge Street, had known he and Cosmo, his five-year-old Rottweiler, would see some sites within the park on such a pleasant day, but he had no idea that the series would make him want to return to his days as a runner. “I grew up in Miami and have been here for 30 years,� the South of South inhabitant said. “I ran for a long time, too, so I really like that I’m seeing some future stars here.� Pandolfi and Accardo could very well prove to be such dynamos, as they finished third and fifth in their group, earning eight and six points in the process. If they continue to display fine form, they could challenge for the title, a boon that will result in the endowment of a trophy to the fortunate fellow. “There are so many positives to being involved with Healthy Kids,� Ford, who said children are still eligible to join, offered after the last group enjoyed fruit from the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market, with SkyZone, Nest Center City, and KIND Bars, who supplement the race with a sportsmanship program called “play KIND,� as other sponsors. “The biggest one is increased self-belief. Points in a competition are nice, but that boost in confidence is what they’re truly gaining.� SPR
