The fairest of them all
The third installment of a Lower Moyamensing flea market and community fair plans to delight budgets and bodies. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
“E
verybody loves a great flea market,” Kim Massare said in explaining the inspiration behind Saturday’s Lower Moyamensing Civic Association Spring Flea Market and Community Fair. The president of the 4-year-old nonprofit commonly known as “LoMo,” Massare will be on hand for the 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. See LOMO FAIR page 12

Last week marked the beginning of an enhancement project for a frequently frustrating bus. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
“I
t’s not big deal to me,” Joe Morrell said. “I like a little extra exercise anyway.” The resident of the 2400 block of South Franklin Street offered his indifferent stance April 21 while traveling southbound on Route 47, SEPTA’s second busiest bus line. His ride came on the fourth day of the Route
47 Service Enhancement Pilot, a six-month plan to diminish dilemmas for a service that conveys 134,000 passengers weekly. The project, a partnership between the transit agency and the Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities, seeks to decrease delays and passups — those occasions when drivers whiz packed vehicles by would-be boarders. To lessen inconveniences, the entities agreed to consolidate stops, offer rear-door boarding at a north-
bound and southbound location, introduce far-side stops to keep buses from missing green lights, alter trash collection times and increase deployment frequency. Covering more than 10 miles, the 47 begins its northbound trek at Whitman Plaza, Oregon Avenue and South Randolph Street, and ventures through Center City before terminating in North Philadelphia.

Would you consider taking part in the improved Ride the Ducks tour?

“I would still ride the Ducks and take my daughter on it. I don’t believe it was their fault.” Laura Reed, 12th and Tasker streets
“I still think it’s not safe. The Ducks are too low in the water. I took my daughter on one of them before the accident. Never again.” Angie White, Seventh and Sigel streets
“The amount of time after the accident to bring the Ducks back is not enough to overcome what happened. It was upsetting. Also, the Ducks are an eyesore for the city.” Morgan Harrington, 10th and Tasker streets
“No, because of what happened. Riding the Ducks is an unnecessary risk.” Patrick Coleman, 11th and Wharton streets Interviews and Photos by Greg Bezanis

To the Editor: Mr. Ron Mento Sr. (“Fueling the debate,” April 21) tries mightily to compare President Obama to President Bush — and fails. Oil prices have always been at the mercy of speculators — and this was actually discussed during the Bush administration — and invading an oil-rich country and provoking another (Iran) didn’t help matters. As for Obama’s military action in Libya, some bashed him for waiting too long to take action. Rather than massing troops on Libya’s border awaiting a green light to shock and awe Libyans, Obama waited for approval from the United Nations, the Arab League (Bush didn’t get approval from either body), and even anti-Gaddafi Libyans before he took limited military action there. Bush’s lies about Hussein’s threat to the United States is but one reason why liberals wanted him impeached. Every economist will tell you that the way to get out of a deficit is to spend. When Obama wants to spend, the Republicans yell no. And there’s “nothing to show” for what he has done, that’s right — except for the recovery of the auto industry and many states using stimulus money for construction projects and balancing their budgets — not too much. And GE is No. 18 on the list of Obama donors — quite a ways from the top. How much did GE pay in taxes when Bush was in office? Finally, the unemployment rate is currently 8.8 percent — not far from the projection — not a promise — of 8.5 percent the Obama administration gave in 2009. Mr. Mento needs to stop blaming the media for “protecting” Obama (even pro-Obama MSNBC points out his problems) and get some accurate facts and figures for himself.

Concerned about the voucher system To the Editor: The ironic headline over the long, rambling letter by Alfred Essex (“Fight for what is right,” April 14) prompts me to send a reply. I am particularly concerned about his support for vouchers to help chil-
dren escape schools he deems will “waste their potential; teach them immorality and atheism; malign their country and American heritage ...” Who knew that colleges of education were turning out such traitors and evildoers just waiting to instill ignorance and hatred on poor unsuspecting school children? What really concerns me is that Mr. Essex and many like him actually believe this nonsense. Vouchers do not guarantee any such thing as choice. The choice is always with the receiving school. And if it is a Catholic school, I hope that Alfred knows that they teach about evolution and climate change in science class, all without becoming atheists. Oh, and does he realize that vouchers will need to be paid with “other people’s money?” Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia
Painful options To the Editor: In his column about Medicare and the Republican plan to fix it (“Nightfall in America,” April 14), Mr. Cardella asks rhetorically when Republicans stopped believing in America. I’d like to ask when America stopped believing in math. Unchecked on its current trajectory our beloved Medicare will cause a debt crisis. We can soak the rich all we want, and we’ll still need to change the contract with future seniors, who thankfully live longer due to the innovation provided by whatever market forces are left in our health care industry. Our columnist compares U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s cost-cutting measures unfavorably with the Affordable Care Act which “saves” $500 billion in Medicare costs by claiming it will pay less to providers. (Tell your plumber you’ll pay less next time and see if he ever snakes your toilet again). Ryan’s plan will enforce market discipline to hold down costs. Skeptical? Neither Medicare nor insurance will pay for laser eye surgery which, thanks to market forces, costs a fraction of what it used to. Ryan’s plan is designed to avoid a catastrophe while honoring our current commitments, not to punish seniors and the poor. I believe in this country’s ability to avert what Ryan
calls “the most predictable economic crisis in our history.” But until the Chinese accept belief as a form of payment, we have to make some painful choices, and soon. Steve Churchill South Philadelphia To the Editor: Happy birthday to me. I just turned 54 and the Republicans are proposing that the country should be fresh out of medicare by the time I reach eligibility. They are proposing that my medicare should be replaced with a voucher that I can use to shop around for coverage. Are they trying to put a bow on a free market solution that will be a gift to no one but private insurers? The idea that seniors will enjoy more options rather than certainty is not shared by anyone I know. If the Republicans are successful at rolling back the Affordable Care Act, people — and particularly seniors — will have fewer options, and little recourse. I’m in the 99 percent that the Republicans are not fighting to give a tax break to. Can they please stop attacking the Affordable Care Act? Yvonne Cornell South Philadelphia

wo men were slain blocks apart early on consecutive afternoons with one bordering Dickinson Narrows and the second bordering East Passyunk. Police discovered Rahfee Yates, 20, at 1:51 p.m. April 20 with multiple gunshot wounds on the 1800 block of South Sixth Street — less than two blocks from his residence on the 700 block of Dudley Street, Officer Tanya Little of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. Yates was transported by friends to Methodist Hospital, but was pronounced dead at 2:15 p.m., Little said. A 14-year-old boy was caught in the crossfire, Little said. Wounded in the back and left leg, he was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition. The following day at 12:01 p.m. police arrived to the 800 block of McClellan Street to find Jeffery Hardee, 21, of the 1600 block of Jackson Street, with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body, Little said. The Newbold resident was transported to Jefferson where he was pronounced dead 50 minutes later. The motive for either crime was unknown at press time as was if the homicides were connected, Little said. “There is some speculation, but there is nothing confirmed,” she said. Both victims had records, according to court documents. Yates was charged with two counts each of aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy engaging murder, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, firearm violations and related charges for a June 19, 2010 arrest. That trial was scheduled to begin Sept. 19. Hardee was arrested Oct. 29, 2010 and charged with conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance, recklessly endangering another person and firearm violations. That trial was set to continue May 6. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334 or visit www. phillypolice.com/forms.
Abandoned son Following shots fired on a Grays Ferry street, a man fled the scene leaving his 3-year-old boy in the backseat. Shamir Kase, 24, of the 1100 block of South 26th Street, was driving a 2010 black Chevrolet Impala with a 22-year-old
in the passenger’s seat and his 3-year-old son in the backseat, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When Kase, who was traveling west on the 3100 block of Tasker Street, stopped behind a bus, two unknown men walked up to the car and started shooting, Tolliver said. Kase sped off north — the wrong direction — on the 1500 block of South Patton Street and on to the sidewalk where he struck a few parked cars — 1995 Jeep Cherokee, ’96 Pontiac Bonneville and 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix — that were unoccupied. The Jeep also suffered a broken front windshield and back window due to gunfire. Kase and the 22-year-old fled the auto leaving the toddler in the backseat and, at 33rd and Reed streets, flagged down a driver to drive them to Kase’s home, Tolliver said. Police discovered the child in the backseat unharmed, and the toddler’s mother picked him up, Tolliver said. Kase returned to the scene at an unknown time at which time he was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person. Police recovered a loaded firearm in a vacant lot on the 1500 block of South Patton, Tolliver said.
Teen missing A teen vanished from her Whitman home Tuesday evening. Jasmine Carrero, 13, of the 2400 block of South Lawrence St., was last seen at home at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. The student at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, 2329 S. Third St., who suffers from bipolar disorder and depression, is 4-footJasmine 11, 100 pounds, and Carrero was last seen wearing a black shirt, black shorts and prescription glasses. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.
Alleged outsider criminals Three Lancaster County residents were arrested after attempting to rob and kidnap a woman on a South of South street Tuesday.
Police Report A white Ford Taurus slowly drove by a woman on the 1500 block of Bainbridge Street at 2:13 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Sean McAndrews, 29, of Lititz, who was sitting in the passenger’s seat of the auto, is believed to have called to her, but she kept walking. She heard the car door open and turned around to see McAndrews, who allegedly said, “give me that purse.” The woman refused and did not release her purse causing it to rip, Tolliver said. At that point, Kevin Davis, 38, also of Lititz, exited the rear of the car and allegedly tried to drag the woman into the vehicle. A nearby resident heard the commotion and yelled from her second-story window, “leave her alone,” Tolliver said. The duo pushed the woman to the ground causing a minor bruise to her left elbow before fleeing empty-handed. The woman provided police with the car’s license plate number and officers stopped the auto in Point Breeze on the 1200 block of South 23rd Street, Tolliver said. McAndrews, Davis and Christina Stolzfus, 39, of Denver, Pa., who was driving and owned the vehicle, were arrested and charged with attempted kidnapping, robbery and theft as well as criminal conspiracy, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
Cab fare heist
A man allegedly robbed and punched a West Passyunk neighbor, but was arrested during the struggle. A 64-year-old was sitting on his stoop when Thomas Guerriero, 32, of the 2200 block of South Garnet Street, asked him for $5, Detective Danielle Tolliver of

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I APRIL 28, 2011
A taxi driver was robbed of $150 inside his cab early Tuesday in Point Breeze. A man flagged down a 30-year-old Olde City Taxi driver at 5:52 a.m. at 23rd and Federal streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man agreed to pay a requested $5 fare to the cabbie to be driven to 25th Street and Washington Avenue. Upon reaching his destination, he put an unknown object between the partition and demanded money, Tolliver said. The cabbie handed over $150 from the car’s sun visor to the man, who fled east on Washington. The thief was described as black with a light complexion, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9, cleanly shaven with a medium build and braids and wearing a white tank top and dark-colored shorts. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.
South Detective Division said. The man only had a $20, so Guerriero is believed to have asked to use his phone. After the man handed Guerriero his phone, Guerriero allegedly snatched the $20 from his hand too and fled the area. The 64-year-old pursued Guerriero and at 20th and Jackson they two began fighting with Guerriero supposedly punching the man in the face, Tolliver said. The man allegedly picked up a brick while Guerriero allegedly ran off again. Police saw the men on the 1900 block of West Passyunk Avenue and arrested Guerriero after the man’s phone dropped from his hands. Guerriero was charged with robbery, theft, receiving stolen property and simple assault.

An enhancement pilot sign lets riders know SEPTA has consolidated the Route 47 northbound stop at Seventh and Jackson streets. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

ROUTE 47 continued from page 1 The stop consolidation ranks as the chief element of the pilot and though Morrell deems it bearable, others find it foolish. “Most riders seem informed and accepting, but some have mentioned the consolidation is odd,” Joseph Pickett, a driver who has manned the 47 for 13 years, said as he began his first northbound commute. Pickett welcomed his first fares at Pathmark, 330 Oregon Ave., before beginning the bulk of his course, which mostly covers Seventh Street. The route needed only a minute to encounter its first change, skipping Sixth Street and Oregon Avenue’s intersection. Once on Seventh, Pickett made his usual right-hand turn. “We heard we should give passengers a week to adjust,” he said of the consolidation, which calls for stopping at every other block until Walnut Street, where buses will begin to open its doors at each block. The plan means those coveting pickup on Shunk Street have to walk to Oregon Avenue or Porter Street, patrons at Ritner Street have to move to Porter or Wolf Street and so on. “We decided to consolidate stops with low ridership and ones that lack connecting routes,” Andrew Busch, a SEPTA spokesman, said of the project, which will include the periodic collection and evaluation of data on customer feedback and timeliness of arrivals. Arming workers with GPS devices, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission studied the route last year to determine the causes of delays. SEPTA classifies a bus or train as “on-time” if it is less than six minutes late. The 47’s rate hovers
at 75 percent, one of SEPTA’s lowest and below the 89.4 percent systemwide figure revealed in December. The City surveyed riders and teamed with SEPTA to make the 47 “a model for routes traveling to and from Center City,” Andrew Stober, the City’s Transportation and Utilities Office chief of staff, said. As the majority of the changes affect South Philadelphia, bigwigs last month met with community groups and businesses east of Broad Street to clarify how to alert riders of the adjustments. Three weeks ago, SEPTA placed signs bearing text in English, Cambodian, Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese to announce the pilot, slated to run through Oct. 20, at the consolidated stops. “We wanted to ensure people would not have to walk a block more than usual,” Busch said. The project will not pass over stops near medical facilities or senior centers, but last month’s powwows included complaints concerning the safety of elderly. Passenger Terry Venier, who assisted an elderly woman on and off the bus, offered his misgivings on his northbound voyage. “It’s too hard on senior citizens,” the resident of the 500 block of Wharton Street said after Pickett’s disclosure the bus will discontinue stops at Seventh and Moore streets. “I will be fine, but what about them?” TRAILING ONLY THE 23, which tackles 11th and 12th streets, for riders, the 47 transports 23,000 passengers on weekdays and 19,000 on weekends. Operating the popular route costs SEPTA $9.8 million, with the agency recouping half of that total in passenger revenue, Busch said. Once a trolley line serving Eighth and Ninth streets, the bus has a notorious reputation for slowness
News that Busch and Stober hope to reverse. Passengers have encountered changes other routes have used for some time — rear-door and far-side boarding. The former, applied for buses stopping in front of Center City’s Municipal Services Building, allows for holders to flash their TransPasses to loaders, which will speed up entry during the morning peak period at Seventh Street and Washington Avenue and the evening rush at Eighth and Market streets. “Those are our heaviest boarding locations,” Busch said. Whereas that move looks to prevent crowding in the front, the far-side boarding seeks to lessen complaining throughout the vehicle. Using a method their C-busdriving brethren rely on at Broad Street and Oregon Avenue, drivers will retrieve and unload boarders after passing through northbound green lights on Washington Avenue and South Street. The southbound trip will follow the same procedure at Eighth and Walnut streets. Most affected stops target South Philadelphia because of its narrow, tight streets. Spacious openings greet drivers beyond Market Street, so that fact and numerous gripes prompted the City and SEPTA not to consolidate the entire course. “Our objective is to provide reliability,” Stober, who encourages riders to offer
feedback by calling 311 or SEPTA or by visiting www.septa.org/47pilot, said. With room as a commodity, SEPTA and the City’s Streets Department worked to adjust garbage and recycling pickup to avoid conflicts during peak-hour traffic. “The 47 will be a measuring stick for other possibilities,” Busch, who lauded the likely benefits of having the pilot include portions of two school years and the whole summer, added of the line. SEPTA’s headway system promises to curtail anger, too, as more frequent deployments will give drivers a chance to reduce the northbound route’s typical fiveminute tardiness in reaching North Philadelphia. Buses will leave Whitman Plaza every six to 20 minutes on weekdays, and parties will wait no longer that 23 minutes on weekends, which are notorious for bus infrequency. “I take the bus at different times, but they get me both ways,” Morrell, who has had to traipse to either Porter or Wolf Street minus his Ritner Street stop and has needed to return home by beginning at South instead of Lombard Street, said. “I know people are split, but I think it will work.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

continued from page 1 event to ensure she maximizes the other inspirational factor, a chance to connect with new neighbors. The second spring occasion and third overall, the market/fair combination will likely yield the “festive day” Colleen McDonough, the association’s founder and treasurer, envisions. The gathering will feature vendor spaces along the highly-trafficked area on Broad Street between Snyder Avenue and Jackson Street. The product of LoMo’s outreach and fundraising committees, it will look to sate bargain hunters, endear itself to nostalgia lovers, tend to taste buds, charm children, rev up recycling enthusiasts and keep health on everyone’s mind while promoting camaraderie. LoMo has approved more than 50 vendors to offer six hours’ worth of selections and seeks more. “People can still apply for a table,” Massare said. “They can even do so on the day of the event, too.” Those interested in hawking items can visit www.lomophilly.org to complete an application. Responsible for bringing their own tables, vendors must pay $30 for a 10-by-6-foot space and $45 for a 15-by-6-foot spot. They must arrive between 7:30 and 9 a.m. for setup and can peddle numerous goods, as long as those items are acceptable under the Philadelphia Police Department’s guidelines. Selling food or beverages is not permitted. Both of last years’ events drew more than 1,000 shoppers, with raised funds hitting $2,700. “All funds raised by the flea markets are returned to the community in the form of beautification — street cleaning, tree planting, creating and maintaining the orchard on South Philadelphia High School’s property [2101 S. Broad St.] and public green spaces — liaison work with government organizations, improved public safety and protecting the character of the neighborhood through zoning efforts,” McDonough said. Vendors keep their individual sales. Children’s items enjoyed immense popularity last year, with strollers, seats and clothes dominating, Massare said. Vintage pieces and handcrafted items such as pillows and soap joined the well-received mix, as did silk scarves and pottery pieces. “We saw choosing this date as a great way of cross-promoting with Flavors of the Avenue,” Massare said of the popular East Passyunk Avenue food and drink festival that will begin at the market’s midway point. “We figure people could start with us then sample more goodies there.”

Occurring only eight days before Mother’s Day, the occasion will offer selections for those looking to honor their matriarchs. “We’ll have stuff for Father’s Day, too,” Massare said, eliminating any worries about being able to score an early gift for one’s padre. Vinyl records may fit one’s father, as they will offer a pleasant find for collectors. “The fairs generate a sense of neighborhood,” McDonough said. THE LOWER MOYAMENSING neighborhood contains about 4,000 households. Everyone from the area and its surrounding parts may attend. Those who do can grab grub from the three food vendors that will present their wares, including one that will do so via a bicycle-drawn food cart. Face painting will create colorful kids from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. At the LoMo table, Massare and others will distribute recycling bins and will take sign-ups for the Recycling Rewards Program, which offers points good for discounted items, gift certificates and magazine subscriptions for doing one’s civic duty. The day will continue the association’s quest to highlight the section that stretches from Eighth to Broad Street and from Oregon to Snyder Avenue.
LoMo has held two holiday decorating contests and participates in the Philly Spring Cleanup at South Philadelphia High School, which will permit parking in its lot, among its many endeavors. The organization will distribute surveys to obtain ideas from residents on what they would like their community’s identity to contain. Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., will offer free health screenings, and other participants, including the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, 2900 Grays Ferry Ave., and Lango Philly, 234 Moore St., which offers French, Mandarin and Spanish classes to children ages 2 to 10, will enhance the benefits of making an appearance. The rain date is May 7, but forecasts call for a pleasant day. “We are excited to see the event taking its place as a neighborhood tradition,” McDonough said, “and are proud of the work that we have done in the past and will be able to expand upon in the future.” SPR For more information, e-mail lomophilly@gmail.com or call 215-463-2831 Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ll schools have their share of memorable alums, and at Edward Bok Technical High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., Mr. Lloyd Jenkins is one of them. Mr. Jenkins, a 1969 graduate, went on to become one of the more memorable faces of its athletic department as a physical education and health teacher for 19 years and the Wildcats’ varsity basketball coach since 1999. He died April 9 at the age of 59 due to heart disease and health-related issues affecting his kidneys. “Lloyd was unyielding in his demand for excellence,” Bok principal Dr. A. Larry Melton said. “That’s the way he lived his life, and that’s the way he always coached.” Mr. Jenkins coached basketball at Bok for 16 years serving as its varsity head coach for the past 12, as well as varsity track and field coach and junior varsity football. “Lloyd was the ultimate teacher and ultimate professional,” Tom DeFelice, Bok’s varsity football coach and physical education and health teacher, said. “He was a mentor to many young people in this community.” The Southwest Philly native played football for the school during his years as a student and was a First-Team All-Public League linebacker. He was named the South Philadelphia Lions Club MVP that season, an award still given today to the top football performer at Bok, Southern and NeumannGoretti high schools, DeFelice said. “Lloyd’s biggest thrill was to come back and coach at his alma mater,” DeFelice said. “To be a coach of three sports was certainly a feather in his cap, and he deserved it.” But his accomplishments weren’t limited to the field as the 35-year School District of Philadelphia educator was a respected teacher at the school. “He could roar like a lion, yet he really was soft as a marshmallow,” Melton said. Mr. Jenkins attended the North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University on a football scholarship, and graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in health and physical education. “Lloyd always had that coach’s look about him,” Melton said. “When I called him, ‘coach,’ he would light up and start that slow, wide smile of his, and he would give a hearty laugh, from the belly up.” He leaves behind his wife, Diane; two daughters, Kristen and Kendra; mother Ella Jane; and brothers Nathaniel Holmes and David Jenkins.

eborah Hirsch is dancing across the city, literally. The fitness and dance expert is bringing high-energy classes to community spaces across the area, with the most recent incarnation residing at South Philly’s Programs Employing People, 1200 S. Broad St. “It’s amazing to be able to funnel some money back into a group that does good things for the community,” Hirsch said of PEP, which will get a portion of the proceeds from each class held there. Hirsch, who shares a home with husband and business partner Seth Weiner at 19th Street and Washington Avenue, is the owner of Philly Dance Works, a company that holds weekly 50-minute classes across Philadelphia and will begin a residency at PEP on Monday. The lineup will feature a 6:30 p.m. Zumba

Lifestyles followed by a 7:30 p.m. cardio bellydance, with the opening-day classes free. “This is not something that PEP would normally do. It’s really cool they are trying to get the community involved like this,” Hirsch, 28, said. PEP is a nonprofit that works to teach developmentally disabled individuals vocational skills and provide continuing education. The company is allowing the usage of its 10,000 square-foot spaces at Broad and Federal streets for Hirsch’s company to shake it down every Monday for a $10 dropin rate or discounted multi-class cards. “[Philly Dance Works] has multiple classes in multiple locations around the city. I have focused on the South Philly community ’cause that’s where I live and I want to do things for my community and my neighborhood. But I have branched out, too,” she said. After starting her first class at Marion Anderson Recreation Center, 740 S. 17th St., Hirsch has continued to expand, bringing new classes to different rec centers and other independent operations, such as a Saturday Zumba class as well as Frisky Fridays Girls’ Night Out, a striptease aerobics class, at Fitness Works, 714 Reed St. “There is no membership required, no experience, you don’t need to know right
from left,” Hirsch said of her classes. “People don’t want to commit to things, so the drop-in model in Philadelphia, where people have things competing for their time, works well. We hope people continue to come to our classes.” Starting her new business venture in March 2010 where she made her home allowed Hirsch to see the power dance could have. “[My clients] have always been diverse. It reflects the community. In South Philly High School, [2101 S. Broad St.,] there was that story of Asians being tormented. I have Asians, Muslims. I have one woman that has her head covered and puts on the full berka when she’s done. I have all walks of life and ethnicities and nobody has a problem with anybody,” Hirsch said. “Every positive comment I’ve gotten from someone has inspired me to do more.” HIRSCH WAS BORN and raised just outside of Madison, Wis., and moved to Chicago’s Northwestern University to study journalism. “I was an avid supporter of their dance for non-majors program there,” Hirsch said. “I got in trouble for overloading my schedule. There was no credit, but you can only take so many. There were amazing dance
teachers and I got to take classes with them even though I wasn’t a dance major.” Upon graduating, Hirsch moved to North Carolina to work for the Charlotte Observer, where she met Wiener. After the two spent time in a long-distance relationship split between Charlotte and RaleighDurham, they both found work in Philadelphia and moved to the area. “We bought a house in this neighborhood because we were really excited to see it changing. We liked how South Philly had the neighborhood mix of people,” Hirsch said. It is a very diverse neighborhood, very up-and-coming and we really liked this neighborhood in particular.” Having obtained multiple fitness certifications in North Carolina — including urban striptease and kickboxing — Hirsch viewed the relocation as her chance to start something new. In addition to continuing her journalism work covering Camden, N.J., Hirsch began what would become Philly Dance Works with the sole Zumba class at Marion Anderson. “I had competing passions so I decided to go to a weekly [publication] and have a little more time,” Hirsch, who is currently one of two people behind The Jewish Exponent, said. “I love journalism and dance. They are both strong passions of mine.”

As her dance passion keeps growing, she has in the works the second incarnation of National Dance Day, an event started by the show “So You Think You Can Dance,” where locals are encouraged to support dance in their communities. “The idea is to get some exposure out there because, let’s face it, dance is the lost little sister of the arts,” Hirsch, who sponsored the event July 31 that featured multiple free dance events and a party, said. “lt’s a progressive dance around Graduate Hospital. We had seven classes. People walked from one venue to the other. It was cool. There were literally over 100 people.” Happy in her South of South neighborhood and excited about the newest addition to Philly Dance Works’ menu at PEP, Hirsch still isn’t ready to skip a beat. “I want to focus on bringing quality dance classes to the Philadelphia area — serve whatever people are into, promote people being healthy and to love dance and get a workout without working out. It is suppose to feel like a party,” Hirsch said. “I want to promote dance fitness and the wonderful community nonprofits and resources we have in Philadelphia that people can take advantage of.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Joining a traveling circus, Jacob (Robert Pattinson) falls for Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), the wife of the power-hungry circus ringleader he works for.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
t’s stunning how unsuccessful “Water for Elephants” is, how wide the margins by which it misses nearly every target. Adapted by Richard LaGravenese from Sara Gruen’s swoony best-seller, it’s an old-time romantic drama devoid of any romance or dramatic conflict. The dust-andglisten technical efforts of art director David Crank, costumer Jacqueline West and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto are about the only things that warrant the crowd’s applause. Handsomely hollow, this might just be the year’s prettiest piece of crap. Its problems don’t even include the shameless regurgitation of the tired “Titanic” formula, with 90-something Jacob (Hal Holbrook) sharing his wistful memories of finding love and wonder amidst history-in-the-making. In flashback, we learn Jacob once looked like Robert Pattinson, and jumped a traveling-circus train after a family tragedy stripped him of his Ivy-League options. Joining Ringling rival The Benzini Brothers as a stable hand, then resident vet, the educated animal lover regards the big-top dreamscape as if gawking at a certain regal ship, and even straddles the line between steerage and first class. Director Francis Lawrence hasn’t the slightest clue of how to handle the love affair between Pattinson’s Jacob and Reese Witherspoon’s Marlena, the show’s sparkling diamond and wife of its ticking-bomb ring leader, August (a typecast Christoph Waltz). The Reese-Robert chemistry is lacking to the extent that you might doze off in their sex scene, and Marlena is so dispassionate she’s practically a talking prop. You almost wish she’d stay with her loony hubby, a villain rendered impotent
by the film’s insistence on sweeping up every little mess post-haste. The proceedings are littered with sentimental traps, from Depression-era parallels to animal cruelty. Results-driven August pokes, overworks and underfeeds the circus’s four-legged, like Rosie, a 9,000-pound pachyderm. The violence never feels like anything less than a ploy, or an action swiftly frowned-upon as if to court PETA. The one genuine article is a study of the wide-ranging fakery it takes to put on a big show. No wonder they got that right.
Water for Elephants PG-13 One reel out of four Now playing in area theaters
Recommended Rental How I Ended This Summer Not rated Available Tuesday A slow-burning survival story that picked up multiple honors at the 2010 Berlinale, Russia’s “How I Ended This Summer” pits two meteorologists against a bitter Arctic landscape and, ultimately, each other. Laced with symbolism for the changing state of Russian culture, the gloomily intense drama explores the human capacity to overcome personal, environmental and psychological obstacles — a raw fight indeed.

No peanuts for these ‘Elephants’
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I April 28, 2011
ith a tip of the hat to founder Robert Ripley, we have gleaned this collection of weird and bizarre stories from news wires around the world. See if you can tell which are true and which are only a figment of the columnist’s imagination. A: A California ad agency will pay good money if you agree to turn the outside of your home into a billboard. This is just a logical extension of corporations buying the naming rights of sports facilities and concert halls. Instead of new siding, why not a sign proclaiming the new natural fries from Wendy’s with sea salt? B: There is a distinct possibility two brothers will try to defeat incumbent Mayor Michael Nutter. Milton Street will oppose Nutter in the Democratic Primary and if he doesn’t succeed, chances are former Mayor John Street, will run as an independent candidate against Nutter. Are Philadelphians really yearning for the good old days of the Street brothers in politics? C: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is against taxing millionaires, even though his state faces a huge budget deficit, because it will cost the state jobs. A recent study shows that keeping the former Gov. McGreevey tax on millionaires will do no such thing. A lot of factors go into a business decision to move out of state that often overshadow paying the extra tax dollars. What now, a study shows teachers are not bankrupting New Jersey? No, that’s too weird. D: A British artist, Lauren Porter, has knitted a wool Ferrari. It took 12 miles of wool fitted over a steel frame. Now Porter, after touring the world with the knit Ferrari for five years, is looking for a permanent home for the “car.” Chances are you will save gas, but it’s pure hell when you take it out on a rainy day. E: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed off some of the most draconian anti-immigration laws in the country, has apparently gone liberal. Brewer recently vetoed legislation that would have forced presidential candidates to show their birth certificate before getting on the ballot in Arizona. Next thing you know, Brewer will be telling us she doesn’t believe Obama is a Muslim. F: An Israeli TV journalist has found a pair of ancient nails he says may have been used to crucify Christ. He is not saying these are the nails, just that they could be the nails. They also could have been the nails Robert E. Lee used to panel his basement right before the Civil War began.
G: Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood was quoted as saying he will not sleep until the sleeping air traffic controller issue is solved. That makes one federal official involved in transportation who will not be sleeping in the near future. Perhaps it would help if we hired more controllers and had them work less or we could fire them all and ask the pilots landing the planes to be more alert. What’s that you say, the pilots are worked to death so they are likely sleeping too? H: The politically conservative owner of the Flyers has helped finance a threepart adaptation of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged.” Part one was recently released and is playing in area theaters. Snider, like many conservatives, professes profound admiration of Rand’s principles of rational self-interest, which extol the virtues of pure capitalism. Her philosophy, called “objectivism,” also preaches atheism, ondemand abortion, and legalization of all pornography. I am willing to pay admission to the next evangelical event when Rand, Paul Ryan and other Rand Republican admirers preach that sermon. Perhaps Snider could sponsor the event. I: At a school in Seattle, a teacher would only allow a volunteer to bring Easter eggs into her classroom if she called them “spring spheres.” I supposed next Christmas holiday in that classroom they will be hanging “winter spheres” on the holiday tree. J: They just spent a lot of money to modernize the handicapped ramps on all the streets in our neighborhood, but alas, a disabled passenger fell out of a car when it hit a giant pothole. Irony or a matter of priorities? K: In the Oscar-winning film, “The King’s Speech,” King George VI is portrayed as an ally of Winston Churchill against the growing threat from Nazi Germany. In truth, the King opposed Churchill and was a bit of a Nazi sympathizer who supported a treaty with Germany. By actively supporting Lord Halifax for prime minister against Churchill, the king also violated British law which prohibits its monarch from getting involved in politics. L: Our governor has come out against the gas driller in our state poisoning Philadelphia’s waters. In the past, Gov. Tom Corbett has refused to approve a tax on Marcellus Shale drilling or tighten regulations on the process known as “fracking.” Is our governor too cozy with the gas industry to be credible? Do we have the right to ask, what the frack is going on? M: After the Phillies unveiled their pitching robot, a reporter asked whether it would replace Joe Blanton in the stating rotation. Charlie Manuel replied he had no plans to do so, but if the robot could hit, he’d put him in left field tomorrow. Answers J and M are false, all the others are true. SPR

1518 Bar & Grill By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
T
he 1500 block of Sansom Street is filled with restaurants.There’s a burger and milkshake joint, the Oyster House, which I believe is the finest fish house in the city, Nodding Head Brewery for inexpensive beer and bar food, Oscar’s Tavern where chefs go for an after-hours drink and nosh, and Ladder Company 15 and Marathon Grill at the end of the street. A few weeks ago — after my favorite shrimp salad roll with homemade chips and iced tea lunch at the Oyster House — I noticed a new restaurant next door which was once a cigar shop. It’s called 1518 Bar & Grill appropriately named for the address. A waiter told me the place opened on St. Patrick’s Day. The restaurant is a long, narrow room with a dining area in the front and bar with high-top tables. We nixed the front room because it was a cold, rainy night and we wanted to be away from the door. We sat at the long, black granite-topped bar and ordered three drinks, which came to $38. They were small. A nosh was in order with our drinks so we sampled the hummus with pita ($7). It had a slight garlic flavor which enhanced the dip. Sandy tried it for the first time, but since she does not go for dips, her opinion is moot. From the appetizers we selected the pork and lamb meatballs ($8.50), grilled romaine salad ($9) and mussels ($8.50). All three dishes cried out for seasonings, Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

especially salt and pepper. I liked the texture of the two large meatballs, which were perched atop a pool of chunky homemade tomato sauce that also lacked flavor. Ground beef needs a bit of salt for tastiness. The grilled romaine consisted of a large heart of lettuce that was grilled and topped with a homemade dressing made with Parmesan, fresh cracked pepper and fragrant olive oil. It needed a sprinkling of salt, but I found the salad crispy and nicely done. A large garlic crouton, or grilled slice of bread, came with the salad. Although the menu states the mussels were Prince Edward Island, I found them scrawny and not as plump as they could have been. Sandy and I liked the broth, which was made with white wine, sautéed shallots, garlic and a hint of saffron. We asked for a spoon to pour the sauce over the mussels and bathe them well. Unfortunately for us, the entreés were disappointing to the point of being dreadful. I’ve eaten short ribs all over town. My dinner ($18.50) consisted of a piece of tasteless short rib, which was a little on the tough side. It was braised in red wine, but needed more time in the oven. The roasted root vegetables that came with the meal were so overcooked that they were black on the outside and mush inside. The dish lacked eye appeal. Edward’s lamb shank ($20) rated about a “C.” It came in a soup bowl with a scattering of chickpeas and topped with a red pepper puree packed with feta. Sound

strange? Feta cheese and roast lamb do not make for a fine culinary pairing. Both the lamb and short rib needed seasoning so we sprinkled on the salt and pepper. I took one look at Sandy’s scallops ($18.50) and instantly knew they could never rival the fine ones at Fond, Marigold Kitchen and any number of other restaurants we have frequented in the recent past. These were small sea scallops which had a bit of sear on them. They were placed on small dollops of celery root puree. All white food sitting on an all white plate does not dazzle the eye. A bit of a green vegetable would have been nice. Lack of seasoning is disconcerting because sometimes salt and pepper cannot turn a dish into a tasty experience. All three entreés could have been hotter.
We shared a bottle of Malbac ($22), which was a fair price. Since our dinner, I have walked past 1518 Bar & Grill during the lunch hour. They were neither filled nor empty. Soup, salads, appetizers and sandwiches are available all day and all night. You can order an entrée starting at 5 p.m. One tip of the toque to 1518 Bar & Grill. SPR

ith Prince William and Kate Middleton getting married tomorrow, it’s time to toss a drinks party. At Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle, Sandringham and Clarence House, it is the responsibility of the royal staff to insure invited guests have a great time. Drinks are prepared ahead of time and passed around on silver trays. The queen loves a dry martini, just as her late mother who lived to be nearly 102 did. She also welcomes a gin and Dubonnet. Prince Charles enjoys a good scotch, probably neat. His wife Camilla has a preference for gin and tonic as does Prince Philip, her father-in-law, who turns 90 next month. I’m not sure whether Prince William and Princess Catherine like to drink, although when William was in college, he frequented the local pubs and ordered beer. Let’s throw a proper drinks party. There are several ways to do this. You can hire a bartender or two and have them mix to order. You need not hire a professional barkeep, however. Just ask a few knowledgeable college students who are adept with a shaker and shot glass. Or, you can ask a few friends to take turns as mixologists. Not everyone enjoys a finely mixed cocktail. Have beer, wine, fruit juice and non-alcoholic beverages on hand as well. Keep the food simple. I suggest finger foods, crudite with dips and one-bite canapés. One of the best cocktail books around is
“The Craft of the Cocktail” by Dale DeGroff. It’s my drinks bible.

Zoro is a senior who likes walks as long as they are moderately slow-paced and allow him the opportunity to investigate his surroundings. He likes comfy pillows/blankets, patient people and hot dogs!

“Joy is so dedicated dedicated,”” Smerker said said. “She always come here very focused, and I appreciate that.” WILSON DOES NOT rely on footage of accomplished gymnasts to strengthen her routine, choosing her tireless attraction to practice as her most informative guide. She confessed only to drawing some inspiration from Shawn Johnson, the compact artistic gymnast who became the U.S. all-around champion in 2007 and ’08, with the latter year also bringing her four Olympic medals, including a gold on the

playing soccer for the Anderson Monarchs, a female travel team, and by running track for her school, the Philadelphia area’s oldest girls’ institution. The latter has propelled her since she traded ballet slippers for no footwear. “I’ve come to like gymnastics more as I’ve grown older,” she said, offering an admission that may spell further disappointment for her opponents. Her increasing affinity does not mean Wilson goes without an occasional bout with anxiety, however. “The best part about competing is being able to do all of the events, but it’s also the most nerve-wracking,” she said of the nature of her elastic identity. Adept at adapting, she feels her confidence improves with each repeated maneuver. With such self-belief, it seems certain the only tumbling she will experience will come when she performs handsprings and roundoffs.

he lion serves as the mascot for the athletic teams at Chestnut Hill’s Springside School, where Joy Wilson is a sixth-grader. The animal defers to its partner, the lioness, to chase after food, but Wilson has no qualms about hunting, for accolades, that is. The resident of the 2500 block of Webster Street added to her decorated gymnastics career by winning four medals and a trophy at this month’s Philadelphia Department of Recreation’s All-Around Gymnastics meet. The 12-year-old competed at the Vare Recreation Center, 2600 Morris Street, her training hub for her entire six-year involvement in the sport. In the advanced level for 12 to 13 year olds, the flexible force claimed gold for her work on the balance beam, floor and uneven bars. A bronze showing on the vault gave her a fourth adornment for her neck, with her overall efforts allowing her to win the all-around title, her third in four years. “Winning came as kind of a surprise this year because there were so many good girls,” Wilson said. She topped 14 competitors, including six teammates from the Vare gymnastics team, to give her bright face even more reason to smile. “She is more dedicated this year,” mother Melissa said of her daughter, who “slumped” last year with a second-place finish in the all-around. Her dedication sees Wilson attending Vare three times a week. She practices from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays, although her advanced overachieving streak causes her to extend her stays. “She’s fond of saying, ‘One more time, one more time,’” Kristin Smerker, the team’s coach for 14 years and the supervisor at Donald Finnegan Playground, 30th and Oakford streets, St., said of one of her longest-tenured pupils. “She’ll be coming here when she is 80 years old.” Representatives from numerous recreation centers attempted to defeat the pre-teen three weeks ago, but her agility and tenacity thwarted their ambition. The former has become stronger through her
balance beam. Wilson feels she will not try to match or top Johnson’s senior career, as she stated she is leaning towards shunning professional level competition. “I’m still thinking about that,” she said of pursuing a life among the elite. “She should be ready for open level soon though,” Smerker said of progressing to more involved elements. Her advanced level executions impressed the four judges at Vare, one of five locations where she has competed, as she received stellar marks for her 90-second attempts on the beam and the floor and dates with the bars and the vault. “I was a bit nervous, but I wasn’t going to let my nerves win,” Wilson said. Through her past involvement in drama, she knows all about pressure, yet she sees each set of eyes not as a critic but as an entity to entertain. “Can I try a Berani?” she asked Smerker of her desire to perform a front flip coupled with a 180-degree turn. “Of course!” the resident of Second and Porter streets said. “Kristin is one of the most dedicated coaches there is,” Melissa Wilson said of Smerker’s influence. “She and Joy make a great pair.” All three hope to retain that pair for at least one more year, as the City’s everunstable budget, according to Smerker and Melissa Wilson, could make the gymnastics program a casualty. “I definitely want to continue here,” Wilson, whose sporting life should come in handy whenever she learns physics, a discipline within her favorite subject, science, said. She recently helped classmates to build a robot and cites art as another passion. “I also like math, although I’m not great at it,” she said. If she keeps excelling, her addition skills will certainly increase as she, her brothers, mother and father Shawn, the supervisor at Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 740 S. 17th St., will need to make room for even more medals and trophies. “I enjoy improving,” the young lady said. “I always want to become better.” SPR
