Too cool

ost South Philadelphians know and appreciate the fact that they live in a culturally hip area. Courtesy of Terry Jack and the residents of the 1200 block of Wolf Street, they also will soon know how environmentally cool their region is. Mayor Michael Nutter declared the Lower Moyamensing block the winner of the RetroFIT Philly “Coolest Block” contest May 13 and personally informed Jack two days prior. “His message was so cordial,” Jack said See COOLEST BLOCK page 11

Constitution High School junior Dominiq Gilyard snapped pictures of South Philly including, “Urban Industry,” bottom, which was matched up with “Polluted Living,” taken by Bismillah Alizada, a student from Afghanistan. Both images are part of an exhibit at the National Constitution Center and the National Museum of Afghanistan

ong before meeting his peers from Afghanistan, Dominiq Gilyard had desired to become an Army general to protect his family and friends, but that recent encounter has added inspiration. “I also want to protect other countries that desire freedom, justice and liberty,” he said. “They want a government that is fair and not oppressive.”

The 18-year-old junior at Constitution High School, 18 S. Seventh St., had an opportunity to meet 10 Afghan students — whom he and his classmates now keep in touch with via Facebook — and their principal through a National Constitution Center project that matched his school with Marefat High School in Kabul, Afghanistan. The exhibit opened at the center, as well as the National Museum of Afghanistan Friday. “It’s still a little bit surreal that it’s all in

place and in tact,” Jeff Stern, international engagement manager for the Constitution Center, who returned from Afghanistan last week, said. The exhibit, “Being ‘We the People’: Afghanistan, America and the Minority Imprint,” which runs through Sept. 26, features 70 photographs taken by students from both schools focusing on themes such as citizenship, freedom and See EXHIBIT page 13

Cardella: Trendy vodka

I am told vodka is the hip adult beverage of choice these days. I know this because as your faithful reporter of pop culture, it is my responsibility to keep abreast of these things. This also is why, at my advanced age, I spend time watching Snooki on the “Jersey Shore” while most folks my age are playing shuffleboard on cruise ships. By Tom Cardella

Word on the Street

Letters

What are your thoughts on City Council’s proposed 2010-11 budget?

Stating their case

“It’s only going to pay for all of the trash driver’s wages and for the truck’s gas which we already are taxed for.” William Dougherty, Ritner and Porter streets

“Not happy. About three years ago I bought a house. They should raise the alcohol tax more, but that would be the last thing.” Michael Haines, Seventh and Porter streets

“Bad idea. They shouldn’t do it. They shouldn’t raise taxes when the economy is down.” Mario Saulino, 12th Street and Snyder Avenue

To the Editor: Since Packer Park made a case for Holy Spirit Catholic School (“Spirited debate, May 13) I feel I must speak up for Epiphany of Our Lord School. I graduated from Epiphany many years ago and am very proud to say my six grandchildren attend or have graduated from there. Epiphany of Our Lord also has many honor students at a high school level. That is credited to the great teachers and dedicated Principal Patricia Cody, who I would put against any in the Catholic, charter or public schools. We also have Father John Pidgeon, the most dedicated pastor, who has worked especially hard to keep our school open without an endowment. Epiphany is flourishing and will go on for many, many years. Epiphany will welcome you with open arms and will be an experience your children will never forget. Theresa Messina South Philadelphia

“None of it makes any sense. They are going to raise taxes until they run out of things to tax. Everyone is already paying high taxes.” Eve Tinsley, McKean and Dorrance streets

Defending a historic title To the Editor: In researching the unremarkable origins of the South Ninth Street, or the Italian Market, which is not even 100 years old, I also visited and contacted other, more historic markets in the United States to compare those with South Ninth Street. There are many older outdoor markets in cities such as in New Orleans (whose outdoor market has been in continuous use since the 1790s), Lancaster (early 1700s), Alexandria, Va. (1760), Boston and Baltimore — both since the early 1700s — and perhaps others in the Carolinas, Texas and California whose markets date prior to 1900. The South Ninth Street Market is not the “nation’s oldest outdoor market” if no one from that market or its association can give a specific year to its beginnings to verify how the market is the “nation’s oldest outdoor market.” I published the Ninth Street Market’s history in the Philadelphia Italian Market Cookbook. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the Historical Commission of Philadelphia also have not recognized the Ninth Street Market as the “nation’s oldest outdoor mar-

ket” based upon the work I submitted and the documentation on record. Celeste A. Morello South Philadelphia

Parking frustrations To the Editor: I had thought that about all that could be said about the Philadelphia Parking Authority had been said. They continue to be the most selfserving agency around, making the rules up as they go along. What is still a mystery is how they decide to whom those rules apply. Recently, after unloading groceries in from of my house, I was issued a ticket and told I should have parked across the street. It is a school zone near South Philly High. It is certainly a wide enough street that cars were not obstructed from passing. When I then drove one block west and crossed Broad Street, I saw blocks of cars — all double parked with no hazard lights on, of course — and not a single car boasted a blue violation ticket. From Jackson to Porter street, west of Broad Street, PPA workers apparently have a deal worked out. Fill us in, how do you avoid the tickets? T. Doorhy South Philadelphia

Missing Colby To the Editor: I rescued my dog Colby three years ago after my mother passed away, and now, Colby has gone missing. He was last seen on May 10. He is black and tan with white markings on his chest. His ears change with his mood and can be pointed or floppy, but his tail always stays in a little piggy curl. He has kind brown eyes and is about 8 pounds. Colby is timid and misses his mom a ton. I’ve canvassed the neighborhood with flyers and continue to put up more daily. I also visit the shelters daily. I have posted on craigslist, Facebook, PAWS, Citizens for No Kill, Doggie Style and have visited vets, refuges, Pat’s, Geno’s — you name it and still Colby hasn’t been found. I appreciate everything and all you can do. Sage Green South Philadelphia

Standing by Arizona To the Editor: Arizona recently passed a law that, would, in part, control illegal aliens crossing the border from Mexico into the United States — a law far too long in the making. We are a forgiving people living in a country that forgives. Yet, sooner or later, we can’t forgive anymore and Arizona did just that. They had to take the steps that our federal government was afraid to do for nothing more than political reasons. Now we have other Americans who believe Arizona should be made an example out of. Councilwoman Maria D. Quiñones-Sánchez, called for a boycott of Arizona. We ask Sanchez, where was she when Mayor Michael Nutter passed his anti-gun law that violated Pennsylvania jurisdiction and Americans Second Amendment rights? Our city is not operating perfectly, properly, or up to American standards. Why? Because we don’t have enough brain cells in City Hall to do the job. Yet, these so-called representatives want to tell another state how to live. Give us a break. We have a suggestion for Sanchez, Nutter, and the rest of the gang of self-proclaimed patriots: Take some of that $16 million of tax payers money, which you can’t talk about, and use it to hire a dream team of defense attorneys for Gabriel Lopez, Jose Lopez, and Delia Cortez for killing Jose Olarte — all illegal aliens. Ever wonder what Arizona faced every day? Would it still be all right by you patriots if it was Americans who were killed? We believe it would not hinder your way of thinking at all.

olice arrived on the 2200 block of Catharine Street at 6:23 p.m. May 14 where they found Jamal El, 18, of the same block, with two gunshot wounds to the chest, Officer Jill Russell of Police Public Affairs Unit said. He was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition and was pronounced dead 30 minutes later. Police did not have a motive or any suspects as of press time, Russell said. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3034.

Love triangle A man was arrested after becoming irate and firing shots when he came home and discovered his baby’s mama had a new man. The 18-year-old boyfriend tried to leave the home where the 18-year-old woman and her ex, Tommy Andujar, 22, of the 2300 block of South Franklin Street, reside at 5:15 a.m. Sunday, but Andujar is believed to have become infuriated, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Andujar allegedly grabbed a black rifle from his bedroom and fired multiple shots inside the home. As the boyfriend left the area on his bike, Andujar allegedly fired at least two more shots outside — one struck the boyfriend in the right leg while the other went through the living room window and struck a dining room wall, Tolliver said. The victim rode about three blocks to the 600 block of Jackson Street before calling police. He was transported to HUP where he was treated and released. No one else was injured. Andujar was taken into custody outside his home. Police also recovered the weapon and narcotics on him, Tolliver said. He was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, possession and firearm violations.

Admitting to shooting A fight turned physical and resulted in gunfire after one man was smacked with a rock Monday afternoon. At about 3:33 p.m., a 30-year-old was lying on the 3600 block of Wharton Street

with a gunshot wound to the chest, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Upon the arrival of the police, the man directed the officers to his alleged shooter’s home on the same block. Robert Brady, 64, exited his home and was arrested. Police recovered a loaded silver gun with black grips on Brady, who has a valid gun permit, Tolliver said. After waiving his rights, he allegedly told detectives that during a verbal disagreement, the 30-year-old hit him on the head with a rock, so he shot him in the chest, Tolliver said. Meanwhile, the 30year-old allegedly told detectives Brady bit his left arm prior to him striking his head. Brady was transported to Methodist Hospital to treat his head laceration while police transported the other man to HUP where he was treated and released. Brady was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of an instrument of crime.

Serial robber in custody Police nabbed a serial Center City bank robber on Friday. The Philadelphia Police Department Narcotics Strike Force arrested Daniel Hodgins, 30 of the 2800 block of South Sydenham Street, who robbed four banks within 17 days, for purchasing narcotics on the 200 block of East Stella Street in North Daniel Hodgins Philadelphia at 2:15 p.m., FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver said. Hodgins was charged with possession of heroin, but gave police an alias name. He was later identified by his real name and charged federally with four counts of bank robbery and has been in the custody of the FBI since Monday, Klaver said. Hodgins allegedly robbed the Susquehanna Bank, 1635 Market St. of an undisclosed amount of cash at 11:35 a.m. May 7, according to Klaver. He allegedly handed the teller a threatening note and fled — with the cash — on foot toward 18th and Cherry streets. He is also accused of robbing PNC Bank, 230 S. Broad St., on April 21, TruMark Federal Credit Union, 1811 JFK Blvd., on April 26 and

Searching for ‘Craig’ Two men knocked before entering a home that they looted for money, but came up empty handed Friday. Jamal Scott, 38, of the 1300 block of South 22nd Street, allegedly pounded on the door of a home on the 1200 block of South Bonsall Street at 3 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When an 18-year-old woman opened the door, Scott, who had a black pellet gun, allegedly pushed his way inside and demanded money from a man named “Craig.” Shawn Gilbert, 27, of the 1200 block of South 28th Street, also entered the home, Tolliver said. Scott allegedly checked the 18-year-old for money and then grabbed her by the throat and threatened to shoot her head off, Tolliver said. Both men forced the female upstairs where a 23-year-old woman and 29-year-old man were hiding. The duo kicked in a bedroom door and searched for cash, but was unsuccessful. They fled empty handed, but were spotted walking a block away on the 2200 block of Federal Street where police arrested them, Tolliver said. The gun was recovered on Scott. Both were charged with robbery, theft, burglary, criminal trespassing, false imprisonment and related offenses.

A drunken man, who claimed he had a gun, harassed and assaulted a teen last week. Thomas Guerriero, 31, of the 2200 block of South Garnet Street, is believed to have approached an 18-year-old woman as she was walking eastbound on the 1800 block of West Passyunk Avenue around 6:30 p.m. May 12, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Guerriero allegedly walked up to her and tried to start a conversation, but the teen felt awkward, so she said “hello” and kept walking. The woman smelled alcohol on his breath when he allegedly grabbed her by the shoulders, pulled her close to him and asked questions such as “what’s your phone number?,” and “where do you live?” He also allegedly told her, “I’m gonna be truthful. I have a gun” as he showed her something in his waistband although it is unclear if it was actually a gun, Tolliver said. He is believed to have kissed her cheek and pushed her head toward his crotch, Tolliver said. Before leaving, he demanded she call his cell phone. She reluctantly called him and then waited by the Sunoco Mini Market, 2101 S. 17th St. to give him time to leave the area before she went home and called police. Police observed Guerriero on the 2200 block of South Garnet Street around 6:39 p.m. Guerriero allegedly ran into his home on the same block, but police nabbed him inside the home. Police recovered narcotics from Guerriero and after obtaining a search warrant, located narcotics and weight scales from his home around 11:30 p.m., Tolliver said. Police did not recover a gun. Guerriero was charged with harassment, indecent assault and false imprisonment along with firearm violations, possession charges and related offenses.

Wawa stick up Two men with bandanas covering their faces held up a local Wawa early May 12. Both men walked into the convenience store located at 1604 S. Columbus Blvd. at 1:35 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One continued on page 11

A woman’s ex-flame waived a gun around as the two argued about her new relationship Friday at her home. The 21-year-old was drinking with her 23-year-old boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend, Robert Reed, 28, of the 2400 block of South Beulah Street, at 6:15 a.m. when she and her ex are believed to have had a dispute, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Her current boyfriend broke up the fight and the two men left the residence on the 2500 block of South Second Street. Reed allegedly returned to the dwelling and the two started to yell at each other again in the woman’s bedroom, Tolliver said. Reed allegedly went to the basement and returned with a silver handgun with a brown handle and waived it at her as the argument persisted. The woman called her boyfriend to return, but Reed allegedly waived the gun at him too and demanded that he leave, Tolliver said. The boyfriend obliged, but called police from a neighbor’s home. Reed left the dwelling before police ar-

If you owe Philadelphia back taxes, you have two choices. The easy way: Take advantage of Philadelphia Tax Amnesty and settle up now. You’ll pay no penalties, and only half the interest. The hard way: Do nothing now and you could face much tougher measures later. Like swift legal action. Added fines and charges. Collection agencies. And seizure of your home or business property. This could be your last chance. Anyone with taxes owed now will not be eligible for any future amnesty. For information about applying, and answers to your questions, call or visit:

After a verbal dispute, a man was run over by a SUV hopping the curb outside of ShopRite Saturday evening. At about 7 p.m., a man driving a gray SUV — possibly a Lincoln or a Ford — almost hit a 47-year-old in the supermarket parking lot on the 2300 block of Oregon Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Following a verbal and physical fight, the 47-yearold male left and sat on a bench when the driver drove his SUV on the sidewalk and hit him before fleeing east on Oregon. The man was transported to HUP, but could not give a description of the driver or the car’s tag, Tolliver said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Hefty heist Two men including one with a pocketknife pushed another against a wall and robbed him of a substantial amount of cash. Around 2 p.m. Saturday, the duo passed a 43-year-old man on the 900 block of South 15th Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They pinned him to the wall twisting his right arm behind his back and confiscated $1,025 from him before fleeing east on the 1400 block of Washington Avenue. The suspects were described as black, age 28 to 32 and cleanly shaven. One was 6-foot-1 and wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans while the other was 5-foot-7 and wearing a brown jacket and a baseball cap.

A MEMBER OF the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association and the chairperson of its Education Committee, Jack has lived on the block for three years with her husband Stephen and two daughters — Linda, 4, and Elizabeth, 2. The Boston native, whose background is in environmental engineering, spearheaded her block’s case for the overhaul. Spending four weeks drumming up interest, she obtained 46 resident signatures and six signatures from landlords and property owners for the 40 total properties. The City of Philadelphia, the Dow Chemical Co. and the Energy Coordinating Agency of Philadelphia crafted the contest, citing a high percentage participation rate as one of its evaluative criteria. Jack’s block registered a 93 percent participation rate, a figure Jack expects to increase with the victory. The win she, Georgie Calise and Eleanor

of the voicemail she received from the mayor. “‘He said, ‘Terry, this is Mayor Nutter, please give me a call.” The contest, which ran from mid-February to early April, drew entries from 74 blocks consisting of more than 1,600 homes. Each block had to submit an essay making its case for an energy efficient upgrade including an energy-saving cool roof, air sealing and insulation. A panel of judges with members consisting of local media outlets, environmental organizations and the building industry selected the Lower Moyamensing block as the victor. Once Jack became aware of the opportunity, she and her neighbors pounced. For their efforts, every resident of Jack’s block will receive a block party on June 19 and energy audits to determine if air sealing is necessary. The audits, which Jack expects will occur by July and the installation soon after, are part of Nutter’s Greenworks plan to have 15 percent of the city’s row home roofs retrofitted by 2015. The move to add new technology or features to older systems derives from the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability, which seeks to help the city leverage its existing assets by giving citizens the tools they need to lower their own carbon emissions and reduce susceptibility to increasing energy costs. For Jack and her neighbors, a slightly more involved example of new technology will be white cool roofs that bounce off solar energy to prevent absorption into the roof and dwelling, reducing energy costs for cooling a house by as much as 20 percent. “Many of us had considered white roofing anyway, so this is an example of great timing,” Jack said.

The gunman fired a shot in the air before fleeing out of the store, Tolliver said. The men were described as black and age 20 to 25. The armed man was 5-foot10 to 6 foot, 200 pounds and wearing a black hoody, black sweatpants or Dickies and a blue bandana on his face while the other male was 5-foot-5, 120 pounds and wearing a red and black checkered Rocawear hoody, blue jeans, Timberland boots and a white bandana on his face.

Todd said a photographer trained the 10th through 12th grade students, who worked through the summer, as well as during lunch, weekends and evenings during the school year. They have carried their cameras with them everywhere since July, posted pictures online and spoke to their Afghan peers via the photo sharing Website, beingwethepeople.shutterfly.com. In March, Marefat Principal Aziz Royesh and 10 of his students traveled to Philadelphia for a week to work alongside the Constitution High students, sorting through about 500 pictures to pair photographs together that parallel one another and show similarities or differences between Philadelphia and Kabul.

One of Gilyard’s displayed images, “Urban Industry,” is of the smokestacks near 25th Street and Grays Ferry Avenue, which was matched up with 16-year-old Bismillah Alizada’s “Polluted Living” showcasing smoke rising from stacks in Afghanistan. Qasim Moradi, 18, photographed a child selling eggs in “Moving Market” which was paired up with Gilyard’s “Modern Shopping” that captured Gilyard’s mother, Angela Moore, picking out a carton of eggs at ShopRite, 24th Street and Oregon Avenue. Gilyard’s final piece, “Mother Mary,” shows a statue of Mary outside of Holy Ghost Byzantine Catholic Church, 2310 S. 24th St., while Zainab Haidary, 19, photo-

THE PROJECT BEGAN a year ago with a $105,000 grant from the American Association of Museums. Todd was on board prior to the project being designed and selected 11 students based on academic merit and dedication to take part. Stanton, who was just hired as a world history teacher at the high school last June, immediately jumped on board. “We didn’t know at that time that the students would be coming from Kabul,” Todd said. “[The students] got more than they bargained for.”

religious expression. Each American photograph was paired with an Afghan one when the students visited Philadelphia in March. “For them to come and tell us about their country ravaged by war,” Gilyard, of 22nd Street and Snyder Avenue, said, “I don’t know how to express it. It was amazing.” “Coming into the project I expected to take photos, learn more of their country and things, but I didn’t think I’d be able to actually have a hands-on experience meeting them and understanding how they are,” senior Reneé Jackson, of Broad and Christian streets, added. “That was really something and I made friends in the process.” Additional photos are available via electronic touch screens where museum patrons can match photos together. Next month, the photos will also be viewable online at www.constitutioncenter.org. “The students exceeded our expectations,” Spanish teacher Jesse Todd said. “Everything you see in the exhibit is done by the students. The photos, the captions, the pairings were done by them.” World history teacher Cliff Stanton was equally impressed. “Oh my gosh,” he said. “It was very moving for me. The connection between the two cultures and then the connection between the kids was shown in what they picked. … It is a very deep connection that we have with [the Afghan students] that’s hard to describe.” He’s already planning more international projects for his students, such as a chance for pupils from both schools to get to know each other more, fundraisers to help the Afghan students continue their education and possibly expanding future projects with other schools around the world. Stanton and some of the students even hope to visit the Afghan students in their native country. “There are a lot of ideas, but we’re hoping to do a lot more,” he said. “We’re all kind of inspired by this whole thing and the possibility of getting a better world out of it.”

graphed a Muslim woman carrying bread in “Walking Home.” Jackson’s featured photos include a young boy drinking from a juice box outside the Constitution Center in “Grass Is Greener,” which was matched up with 18year-old Sayed Madadi’s “Day Job” that shows a young boy working behind a sewing machine. Another photo from Madadi featuring a group of people walking along a frozen stream, which was matched up with Jackson’s “Day at the Beach” that she took while on vacation in Ocean City, N.J. “When they first met, despite the language barrier, despite the differences in culture, mannerisms, they quickly bonded,” Constitution Principal Dr. Thomas R. Davidson said at the exhibit’s May 13 opening reception. “It wasn’t soon long after that they were experiencing Philadelphia cheesesteaks at Jim’s [Fourth and South] and also Middle-Eastern cuisine at different restaurants.” Cultural diplomacy is important to the country, Markita Brooks, program officer of the cultural programs division of the U.S. Department of State, which disperses grant money to the American Association of Museums and helped the Afghan students and Royesh obtain visas, said at the reception. “The relationships that are formed between people is most important because those are the ones that are long lasting and I can tell you firsthand to see the relationships that have been formed between the students of the Marefat High School and the Constitution High School was amazing. … by the end of the week, they were actually a family and I saw that firsthand. Tears were shed and memories were made.” The Afghan students even came bearing gifts such as paintings, including one currently hanging near the principal’s office, Stanton said. Between their generosity and conversations with the students, the two groups realized they weren’t all that different. “One time we were at the Constitution Center having lunch,” Jackson, 17, who will attend Millersville University next fall, said. “We were talking about video games and it was funny because I really started to see that we’re all young people. No matter where you’re from young people are pretty much the same.” “Maybe these kids aren’t all how we perceive them,” Gilyard added. “Maybe it’s just a small group that is doing all that bad stuff.” And the experience isn’t something he will soon forget. “It’s something I’m going to tell my grandkids about,” he said.

Baseball gloves needed

itizens Bank has kicked off its annual youth baseball glove donation program in partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies and second baseman Chase Utley. The Citizens Bank Helping Hands glove donation program collects new and gently-used baseball gloves at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, to benefit children 12 years old or younger who play in the Phillies Jr. RBI League program. The league was created to encourage inner-city youths to participate in baseball programs and has helped more than 7,000 children throughout the Delaware Valley. Anyone who donates a glove can enter to win an autographed Utley baseball glove. Donations may be made throughout the Phillies season at the Citizens Bank kiosk in Ashburn Alley. SPR

Two local actors bring a beloved children’s book to life with an hour-long adaptation that has kids of all ages laughing and coming back for more. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

ow being played on the Arden Theater’s stage by Second-andMcKean-streets resident Steven Pacek and Broad-and-Wolf-streets resident Davy Raphaely is an hour-long theatrical adaptation of the beloved children’s book, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” a 40-page adventure of a mouse who has many illogical yet impatient requests for a young boy — with some messiness thrown in for good measure.

In the latest from the Arden Children’s Theatre, Steven Pacek, left, co-stars with Davy Raphaely in “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” which is based on the book of the same title.

“When I found out I got cast, I went home. I hadn’t read it in so long and I read the book and I told [my niece] I was playing the boy,” Baltimore, Md., native Raphaely said. “We stayed up way past her bedtime ’cause she was asking all types of questions.” The production based on the 1985 children’s book written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond opened April 17, and due to popular demand, has been extended by four weeks until June 27.

spectively, are the only cast members. “‘Why does the set look the way it does?’” Pacek said is one of the most frequently asked question during the after-performance talkbacks the actors have with the attending audience, usually made up of elementary school students. “Our set, the set is really friggin’ cool. It’s designed so everything is one-and-a-half times normal size to make Davy and I look smaller. “It’s designed in a two-point perspective so the walls angle up and in, so that the audience would feel like they are looking at the whole set from the Mouse’s point of view.”

Lifestyles The two actors were a little wary of having to carry the entire hour-long play with one intermission by themselves. Luckily, their fears were quickly put to rest. “That was something I was little nervous about since it’s only two people in the show and chemistry on stage can be a tricky thing. Luckily, right from the first rehearsal, I knew that we were going to be fine,” Pacek said. “We shared a similar energy and similar way about rehearsing things, which I am really grateful for.” Raphaely is right in sync: “I was really happy. And we have a great relationship and that works really well on stage.” If audience turnout is a good indication of their on-stage chemistry, the pair is definitely in perfect stride. Performances have been sold out through June, with multiple schools buying up tickets well in advance and making it difficult for the public to grab a seat, including blocking out one of the co-stars own kin. “I finally put in some tickets for them, probably in the middle of June,” Raphaely said of plans to bring his nieces, Ella and Samara, to the show. “I’m really looking forward to that and my sister said they kept watching [our online teaser].”

show I did. “New York got to be a bit much for me — I was in farm country then moving right to New York was a culture shock.” He gave the next logical choice a go, but Los Angeles was an even rougher fit. It turned out, like so many things, the answer was right under his nose. “After I moved back to L.A., two friends were both home doing a show together at the Arden … we got together to catch up and we decided to put on a production of our own, a small show up at the Montgomery Theater, and it went really, really well and it turned into the 11th Hour Theater Company,” Pacek said of the company he co-founded and still works with today. For Raphaely, theater was the goal from an early age and a short trip north to Philadelphia was enough to cement his future plans. “I went to a performing arts high school for acting and I knew I wanted to pursue it on a more professional level,” Raphaely, who has a BFA in acting from the University of the Arts, said. “UArts seemed like a really good one and as soon as I came to Philadelphia and to Center City, I fell in love with Philadelphia period.” Setting up shop at 16th and Bainbridge streets, Raphaely honed his craft while taking in everything the city had to offer. “I really enjoy Philadelphia, which is why I made it a permanent choice for me for now. I started working right out of the gate and it mostly has been Philly-based shows,” Raphaely, who made the move to his Broad Street home in 2006, said. “I preferred to work at home. It was a great opportunity.” The two actors are big fans of their respective homes, mainly for the neighborhood-feel and affordability offered in South Philly. Since establishing themselves in the local theater community, Pacek and Raphaely have found great success on stages around the city. And with the response the actors are getting from “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” there preferred audience is getting younger by the second. “This is really a family show and I hear the adults laughing just as much as the kids do, and I get a kick out of that,” Raphaely said, with his co-star Pacek echoing his sentiments: “It’s one of the best audiences I’ve ever played for. I’ve been saying it’s like their own little ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and they are getting so involved that they just can’t not respond.” SPR

PACEK, 31, AND Raphaely, 30, had never met before “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie,” though both have worked extensively in the Philadelphia theater community for a handful of years. However, they both came highly recommended from mutual friends, who reassured the actors they would hit it off. “I only knew Davy through friends, mostly through my friends that had done ‘The Eclectic Society’ at the Walnut Street Theater,” Pacek said. Raphaely has the same story, relaying the good reviews he got of Pacek while working at the Walnut. “From day one rehearsals, we worked well together and we were able to play, making a mess, making discoveries together. It was a very easy process — a lot of work, but an easy process,” Raphaely who teaches a weekly Philadelphia Young Playwrights class to juniors and seniors at Neumann-Goretti, 1736 S. 10th St., said. Pacek, who recently moved into his Pennsport digs “between Two and Three streets” with two friends, two cats and one dog, has lived around the area for some time, including Old City and Bella Vista. Originally from the Northeast, Pacek ventured out of the area to study theater at Ithaca College. “Right after I graduated I moved to New York City and I lived there for six months,” Pacek said. “I was lucky and got my [professional actors union] card from the first

am told vodka is the hip adult beverage of choice these days. I know this because as your faithful reporter of pop culture, it is my responsibility to keep abreast of these things. This also is why, at my advanced age, I spend time watching Snooki on the “Jersey Shore” while most folks my age are playing shuffleboard on cruise ships. It is a burden I shoulder without complaint. Frankly, the soaring popularity of high-end vodkas puzzles me. Vodka is mostly water and alcohol, which is why it essentially has no taste. For a good part of its history, vodka was well-known in America for two reasons. One — it was the choice of alcoholics because in addition to being tasteless, it has no odor. For alcoholics, drinking vodka as opposed to bourbon saved them having to buy breath mints. Two — heavy use of vodka was the suspected reason for Russian belligerence during the Cold War. The theory goes that had Stalin drank chamomile tea instead of vodka, we would all have been spared a boatload of trouble. The main reason for his periodic purges was that the more people he got rid of, the more vodka there was for him. In Stalin’s defense, what else was there to do on a cold night in Moscow. He couldn’t cuddle with Anna Kournikova because she hadn’t been born yet. The Russians used vodka as an excuse to invade Poland (although in fairness, it seems it is not difficult for countries to find an excuse to invade Poland). In this case, Russia was upset the Poles made cheaper vodka from potatoes and actually liked it. Russians will tolerate vodka being made from any grain except potatoes. It’s a Russian thing. Next time you invite Vladimir Putin to your home for dinner, hide your Polish vodka or you could wind up in the gulag. Back in the day, we used vodka mainly as a mixer. We put vodka in a bloody mary or a screwdriver because it didn’t change the taste of the drink. Vodka was cheap. We didn’t like the Russians, so we weren’t about to make vodka our national drink. That fact created a problem for makers of vodka who were looking to increase product sales in the United States. Some advertising genius figured out no American was going to pay big bucks for an odorless and tasteless liquor. The same genius figured out there was no prestige in drinking vodka because it was too

cheap. Thus by raising the price of vodka, you could make it a status beverage. Unassuming vodka became as pretentious as Ed Snider (“Mr. Snider” to you). To explain the overnight transformation of vodka in basketball terms, it was like getting traded from the Sixers to the Lakers. Adding flavor was the next inevitable step in its evolution. Vodka now comes in more flavors than Ben and Jerry’s. Anyone for Grey Goose Caramel Crunch? The advertising world had discovered an important concept; get enough pretentious, dumb people to buy your product and you can retire a wealthy man. Flavored vodka has been followed by flavored water, which is vodka without a kick. Upscale restaurants began to provide lockers for their patron’s favorite vodka. Note — an upscale restaurant is any food establishment that depends on customers on expense accounts, so an overpriced meal may be written off at the taxpayers’ expense. With its own locker, vodka got a Barry Bonds complex. Vodka now keeps a hi-def TV and a pair of huge diamond stud earrings in its locker. Vodka refuses to mingle with Johnny Walker or Jack Daniels and refuses to answer questions from media members. There also is a rumor that vodka is using performance enhancing drugs. How can you justify putting your vodka in a private locker? Is there no room in your home to keep a bottle of vodka? I resolved my own personal issue with this practice. I keep my vodka in a locker at the airport. Ads began to hype exotic grains or distilling processes of high-end vodka. One such vodka, that sells for $40 a liter, uses organically-grown grain raised by a small group of Tibetan monks. It used to be enough that vodka was distilled through a charcoal filter. No longer. Larry King is putting out a vodka that is distilled through the lingerie of his latest girlfriend. Soon vodka will be enhanced with vitamins. Then at least we can have the world’s healthiest drunks. This will be the only vodka endorsed both by Dr. Oz and the Office of the Surgeon General. The most-prized vodka must come with a pedigree. Chances are that your vodka boasts of having won a number awards for taste, even though it is essentially tasteless. One vodka boasts that it won the Noble Prize a year before Obama and was more deserving. My wife claims that Grey Goose is the only one that does not give her a headache. I recently tested her hypothesis. One night after she had her favorite vodka drink, I made my patented move in bed. She still said, “Not tonight, honey, I have a headache.” SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

We can’t afford any new taxes, especially on groceries like sodas, juice drinks, teas, sports drinks, chocolate milk, and even fountain sodas. All of us have to make ends meet. We’re cutting back and spending less. Now it’s your turn to do the same. Please hear the people of Philadelphia. Reject the beverage tax.

alads are a staple of most diets. Some prefer with it with pasta while others go with tuna. Which ever one you choose, it’s important to play around with the recipe or add new flavors to stimulate the taste buds. Theresa Strati’s mixture of choice is her Chicken Salad. The resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street adds cranberries to the mix for her tasty take of this classic. SPR

Theresa’s Chicken Salad INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup of mayonnaise 1/4 cup of sour cream 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of lemon peel, grated 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper 2 cups of chicken, cooked and diced 1 cup of celery, sliced 1/4 cup of green onions, sliced 1/4 cup of sweetened dried cranberries Lettuce leaves, to line the bottom of plates

DIRECTIONS:

Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, lemon peel, mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, celery, onions and cranberries. Stir. Cover and refrigerate for one hour to let the ﬂavors blend. Serve the salad on lettuce-lined plates.

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

ix years ago, South Philadelphiaborn chef Franco Martorella opened Bliss on South Broad Street. Although he was a master of French-Italian cuisines, Martorella, who worked at The Fountain in the Four Seasons Hotel, was named executive chef at the Ritz-Carlton and became a partner in the now-shuttered Brasserie Perrier, He also took classes with Eileen Yin-Fei Lo, considered an authority on Cantonese fare. Martorella wowed me with his splendid artistry, innate culinary sense and presented dishes which appealed to all the senses. The pastas were handmade and his Asian dishes often were the star of the menu. A little more than a year ago, Martorella sold Bliss to Chris Dhimitri who owns Chris’s Jazz Club. I was curious to see if the menu had changed and if the fare would be as fine as Martorella’s. I visited Bliss on two occasions. Last month, before a performance of “Jeanne Ruddy Dance” at The Wilma Theater, I wanted a bite to eat. I settled into a seat at the granite-topped bar and perused the bar and dinner menus. I arrived around 6 p.m. and Bliss was doing a brisk business. Donna the bartender stirred up a fine Bombay Sapphire martini ($10) which was priced just right considering it was pretty good-sized. I munched on the long, slightly salty, crispy breadsticks. I began with a salad of beets, goat cheese and mixed greens tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette ($9). The beets — the star here Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

I usually do not like balsamic vinegar unless I know it is from Modena. This one was just fine. Kobe beef burgers are popping up everywhere. Some places are offering them at ridiculously low prices, especially for lunch. But I was dining during the cocktail hour and thought $14 for one was reasonable. It arrived rare topped with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and served with a pile of piping hot french fries. Thank goodness it was not served on a sweet brioche roll. I liked the soft bun, which was a bit toasted. The quality of the beef was evident with each bite. On my next visit, I ordered the arugula salad ($9). It was disappointing. No one trimmed the baby leaves. The long stems should have been removed. It also was very salty. Donna graciously removed it and brought me the aforementioned beet salad that was just as fine as on my first visit. Ask for bread and butter at Bliss. It is delicious when slathered with softened butter. I ordered a glass of Tierra Brisa Malbac ($9) from Mendoza, Argentina. It was rich and bursting with fruit, so I knew it would drink well with a petite filet mignon. The menu description states it is a grilled petite filet Oscar, crabmeat, mashed potatoes, asparagus, hollandaise sauce ($30). Italian

I ordered it rare. The steak arrived medium. It was not properly seared on the outside. It sat atop a mound of mashed potatoes. It was topped with a few pieces of crabmeat, which did nothing to enhance the dish. I detected a tiny amount of hollandaise. Some thin fresh asparagus were sitting on the potatoes. “My steak is not rare,” I said to my server. A new dinner was prepared for me. This one turned out to be as ordered. It was tasty. The beef was not on top of the potatoes and neither were the asparagus and a few haricots vert included on the plate because the chef ran out of asparagus. I asked for more hollandaise.

here’s a parlor game that goes like this: You name 10 people you want to invite to your table for the perfect dinner party. You must give reasons for the invitation. My ideal list would include: Benjamin Franklin; choreographer George Balanchine; composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; food writer M.F.K. Fisher; actor/ director Mel Brooks; poet Charles Baudelaire; President Barack Obama; actress Meryl Streep; author Mark Twain and chef Joël Robuchon. Fans of Bravo TV’s “Top Chef” may recall a dinner the cheftestants were asked to prepare for Robuchon last summer in Las Vegas. In 1989, Robuchon was named Chef of the Century by the editors and writers of the guidebook “Gault Millau.” Born in 1945 in Poitiers, France, Robuchon apprenticed at age 15 and in ’81, he opened Jamin in Paris. Three years later, he received three Michelin stars. Robuchon’s approach to food was a direct response to nouvelle cuisine. He also removed the fussy over-the-top attitude from French cooking. For him, less is more, simple is best. I recently received a copy of “The Complete Robuchon: French Home Cooking for the Way We Live Now.” It was translated from the French by Robin H.R. Bellinger. This 813-page tome features more than 800 recipes. Robuchon includes tips on wine, cooking methods, kitchen equipment and a glossary of culinary terms. It is, what food writers call, a

soup-to-nuts cookbook. I cannot wait to cook from it.

oseph “Monk” Bryson dedicated 29 years to our community’s youth as a coach and mentor, as well as being an active member of the Mummer’s organization for 51 years. On January 23, 2010, Monk had an emergency lung transplant. As a result of the transplant, he and his wife, Marie, have been struck with a ﬁnancial hardship due to the demands of Monk’s condition, and a lifetime of anti-rejection medications he needs daily. This continues to make meeting the ﬁnancial demands of daily life a constant challenge.

n May 23, 2010, Family and Friends will be hosting a beneﬁt for Monk from 2:00-6:00 pm at E.O.M. located on Front and Moore Sts. to help defer medical expenses. A donation of $25.00 includes buffet, beer, soda, music and fun. Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 215-687-0475, or at the door. A silent auction will be held as well as chances to win a weekend stay in Cape May and a one week stay in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The family of the late Stanley J. Endres wishes to express heartfelt thanks to relatives, friends and neighbors for all the kindness, prayers and support extended to us during our recent sorrow. We especially thank those who sent donations to our parish, Annunciation B.V.M. at 10th and Dickenson Sts., in his memory.

You are in your family’s thoughts all the time, how could you not be. Your sister is so lonely without you, your mom cries all the time for you, and your dad lost his bud. And I can’t wait to see you again. I bet your uncle Goog is going to blow out your candles before you.

So loved, so little time, With all our love, Dad, Mom, Nicole, Gram and Savannah

Two Prep Charter students have signed Letters of Intent to continue their basketball careers. By Joseph Myers

With their proud teammates behind them, Prep Charter seniors LaShay Banks, left, and Sydney Mallory, signed their Letters of Intent May 13. S ta f f P h o t o b y g r e g b e z a n i s

“I will play in a summer league in July to prep myself. I plan to work hard and put the time in, on and off the court,” she said. With an interest in business administration, she chose Bloomsburg out of three schools because of its “friendly vibe.” “Everything seems calm there,” she said while adjusting a hat bearing the name of her future school. Outside the Prep Charter auditorium, college acceptance letters line the walls, proof of the school’s healthy 82 percent college acceptance rate. “The trophy case is important,” Pearsall said, “but not as important as being a successful student-athlete at the next level.” With his team’s success, Rieser kidded around by saying “What can I say? I’m a great coach.” With two starters returning next season, Rieser expends to contend for crowns. His departing duo is inspiration for future successes and they are great fits for their next addresses, he said. “LaShay and Sydney helped us to gel together,” he said. “They will bring their tenacity to every practice and every game next year.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

“I don’t feel any pressure,” the 18-yearold North Philadelphia resident said. “I am ready to accept my task and further my game.” Banks, bedecked in a Bearcats shirt, chose Cincinnati out of nine schools. Her visit to the campus delighted her with its great atmosphere, she said. The small forward/guard, who will major in physical therapy, takes pride in being the first Prep Charter female to receive a full athletic scholarship from a Division I university. “Everybody is friendly here,” she said. “This is like my home away from home.” Though Banks’ new home will be more than 500 miles away, her mother, Tamara Banks, and grandfather, Thomas Smart, have no worries. “I am very proud,” her mother said. “Ohio will let LaShay broaden her horizons.” For Mallory, 17, her first year at Prep Charter after three at Hunting Park-based Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls, her time in South Philly has gone too quickly. Public League opponents, however, will not likely miss her. The Frankford resident averaged 11 points and nearly 12 rebounds — numbers the power forward will look to improve as Bloomsburg Huskie when she laces up for a team that completed its first winning campaign since 2002-’03 this season.

COACH PAUL RIESER, in his fifth season guiding the program, introduced his stars, who broke the news to their eager peers. Banks, a four-year starter, averaged more than 13 points and 10 rebounds in her senior season. The Bearcats, a member of the Big East Conference with national powerhouses such as the University of Connecticut and the University of Notre Dame, have posted three straight losing seasons but boast a solid recruiting class that includes Banks.

The GAMP Pioneers will defend their Public League Class A title 2:45 p.m. Friday against the Masterman/Boys’ Latin winner from yesterday’s semifinal contest that started after press time. The squad based at 22nd and Ritner streets entered the week with a 10-5 record. The Catholic League playoffs begin May 24 with the quarterfinals taking place May 25.

reparatory Charter Huskies’ AllPublic standouts LaShay Banks and Sydney Mallory made school history May 13 by signing National Letters of Intent for the fall. Banks — the school’s first female athlete to ink a Division I scholarship — will soon call Ohio home to attend the University of Cincinnati. Mallory will head north to Division II Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. The young ladies became the 10th and 11th student-athletes respectively from the school at 1928 Point Breeze Ave., to receive athletic scholarships since the building opened in 1998. With their fellow varsity athletes in attendance, the duo sat side-by-side in the school’s spacious auditorium to sign their letters. Athletic Director Chuck Pearsall commended the two smiling hoopsters, noting their influence on their mates. “For every athlete, one of the goals should be post-secondary education,” he said. “Education is vital.” Last season, the duo helped guide their team to a 20-6 mark that included a 13game winning streak, title-game defeats in the Public League and City Championships and an appearance in the PIAA Class AAA playoffs.
