A healthier avenue Several local organizations and politicians chipped in Saturday to transform a vacant lot into a healthier food source for Point Breeze residents. By Alexis Abate Review Contributor

eed whacking a foot of grass and raking the remains were just the first steps to creating more aesthetically pleasing vacant lots along the 1600 block of Point Breeze Avenue. More than 20 volunteers including a half dozen Walmart employees from two locations, 1675 S. Columbus Blvd., and the Boothwyn site, along with state Rep. Kenyatta Johnson, among others, gathered for five hours Saturday afternoon ready to work. This community cleanup was Phase II See CLEANUP page 12

A website addressing Native American assimilation has taken a Passyunk Square teen to a national competition. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

angaea Saunders owns a first name that could lead to an infatuation with science, as it refers to the supercontinent that united the world’s land masses more than 225 million years ago. The seventh-grader at Christopher Co-

lumbus Charter School, 1242-46 S. 13th St., however, holds history as her favorite academic pursuit, which her website, “Apple Indians: Red on the Outside, White on the Inside” reflects, having nabbed city and state accolades and giving her a chance to earn national recognition. The investigation of the American government’s late 19th to early 20th century

plan to assimilate Native American youths into the dominant Caucasian culture offered the 13-year-old time to analyze an era rife with racism and repression and question why history books tackle certain sorrows and leave others for victims’ families to ponder alone. See PANGEA page 8

Word on the Street

Letters

What do you think the City should do to close the school district’s budget gap?

Tremors of a troubling future

“I think that school districts should allow schools to make their own budget. As far as more money, possibly carnivals, talent shows, bake sales, car washes.” Angel Escobar, Fifth and Moore streets

“They should be able to have a tax or something because these schools cannot close. We need education.” Theresa Arizzi, 10th and Ritner streets

“I graduated from Neumann-Goretti, so our budget was significantly less than public schools. ... So, I think it would make sense to have the budgets for schools separate from school districts.” Christian Arizzi, 10th and Ritner streets

“I think that fundraisers would work. The City should do it to help schools out. ... The mayor should be doing things to help schools, like a bake sale or a car wash.” Ashley Valle, 12th Street and Snyder Avenue Interviews by Emily Buccieri Photos by Greg Bezanis

To the Editor: Go ahead, keep fooling around with nuclear reactors, especially building them on earthquake fault lines. At least in Japan they are pretty much close together, whereas in our country they are staggered throughout the land. If what happened in Japan does not spur the elimination of the certainty of doom that awaits all of us — and I am talking annihilation of millions of people and all livestock and sea life — then the people in charge are not just guilty of lack of foresight and the care and preparation for the tragedy. It is only a question of precious time before it explodes all around us. Am I exaggerating or crying wolf? Just look at what has and is now happening: Three Mile Island, then Chernobyl in Russia and now in Japan. What more proof do we need? Wind, solar and gas power combined? I believe in the very near future chemical engineering will provide what we need to take care of energy needs. As bad as coal may be for the atmosphere, at least it will not blow us all to smithereens. This is our country and it truly belongs to us, the democracy, and not to big business’ billions upon billions of dollars that have been snatched it right from under us. Gaddafi of Libya was supposed to rule that country, but after 40 years in power, he claimed it as his own. That is what is happening right here in America, and we just lay down like dogs who are being punished. There is more of the death knell waging solemnly in the wings waiting to kill all of sea life and then reach to all of humanity with the slow, lingering, painful deaths of radiation poisoning. Those lovely deep sea oil rigs and the unsafe ships that transport the oil that wind up in our oceans. How much more can our seas take of this poison that is killing all of it? So what do the owners of America decide to do? The only sensible thing: Build more of these deep sea oil wells that will hasten our demise. Doesn’t that just grab you by the heart? You have heard me espouse the revolution of America because I can see no other way to take back our country and return it to the sanity we have had taken from us. If we wait much longer to do so, in a little while there will be none left to revolt. Hurry up America. Big businesses are our murderers, and if ever capital punish-

ment was merited, this is certainly it. The plain simple truth is that they don’t care one little damn about all of us and they will be safe in wellplanned retreats planned long, long ago. Now England is in the throes of uprisings for the same reasons that are happening here; killing budget cuts on the backs of the have-nots and not a dime from the rich. Look out thieves of America — it is coming fast and furious. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

Taxed out To the Editor: I see Mayor Nutter is up to his old antics again: Raise real estate taxes to pay for public school financial problems. He must think because someone works all his life and saves to buy a home, that they must have a lot of money. Every time there is a financial problem in this city, Nutter has a onetrack mind: Raise real estate taxes and let homeowners pay. I thought running the public school system was separate from running the city. It sure doesn’t look that way. There has got to be alternate ways to pay for public schools; a head tax on all adults so everyone pays; increase the sales tax so everyone pays; charge a tuition to those who use these facilities. These are just a few. I’m sure with all the ‘financial geniuses’ in City Hall, they should be able to find a better way. Don’t let Nutter — ‘The Tax Man’ — increase our real estate tax again. Enough is enough. My home is now up for sale and I will never buy another home in Philadelphia. I for one will be leaving Philadelphia if I am lucky enough. If not, I will become a renter and get away from all this real estate tax phobia of ‘Tax Man’ Nutter. George Munce South Philadelphia

Maintenance request To the Editor: What can be done about the undeveloped property next to the Regency’s buildings 1 and 2 located on 3200 Capri Drive just off 20th Street between

Packer and Pattison avenues? The property is overgrown with weeds, cluttered with trash, various construction equipment and leftover construction material. This constant eyesore lies behind the flimsiest of fences that may collapse at any moment. The community has exhausted every possible endeavor to get the property cleaned up and have a proper fence installed so that the homeowners can get back to living the way they paid to live. The way the developer and the sales people guaranteed we would. We have tried everything. All pleas have fallen on deaf ears. I wonder if our small community is being punished; if so why and by whom? This letter is step one, which we hope will generate suggestions or advice from readers. Step two will be to confront the politicians who reside in the area. Step three will be applied if steps one and two fail. This property belongs to the developer and it is the developer’s responsibility to clean it and maintain it in a proper fashion. Jimmy Gregorio South Philadelphia

Prime real estate for dogs To the Editor, I am a lover of all dogs, especially my own. In recent years, I have noticed more parks being dog-friendly to accommodate the growing population of dogs. Where I live, I have only two close, over-growing areas to take my pooch: Marconi Plaza and South Philadelphia High School’s grounds. It was recently brought to my attention by a Philadelphia Parking Authority agent that there is an abandoned lot on 13th Street between Jackson Street and Snyder Avenue, which has a car repair garage next to it, that has illegally parked cars and become a trash dumping area. I have witnessed the cars and trash when we walk by. Who can I contact to try to get it cleaned up and made into a dog park? Any further information would be helpful.

Hey, I attend church, love my prayers, abstain from meat, give to charities, love to enrage liberals, try to make my wife happy, etc. What else could God desire? Anyway, 99.99 percent of my brain cells knew no rapture would occur, but if it had, I was sure Mr. Bryant would have to suffer the five months that precede the end of the world.

Runaway bullet An 11-year-old is believed to have shot himself, but the location of the gunfire is still a mystery. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

olice do not believe an accidental shooting occurred where a Grays Ferry boy claims it did. An 11-year-old told police he was playing at Vare Recreation Center, 2600 Morris St., when he found a small, black handgun and accidentally shot himself in the right knee, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. The boy ran home and attempted to clean his wound in the bathroom. After telling his father what had happened, his father rushed him to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Police were unable to locate the scene at the rec center and its video surveillance did not show the boy or the shooting, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. Police did discover blood throughout the boy’s home on the 1500 block of South 26th Street along with blood-stained rags and socks and a bucket of water. “Again at this time, police do not believe the shooting happened in the rec center,” Lt. Ray Evers of the Police Public Affairs Unit said in an e-mail. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

Drive-by shooting Bullets struck a man and his vehicle as he drove in East Passyunk Monday night. A 26-year-old man drove himself to Mercy LIFE, 1900 S. Broad St., suffering from two gunshot wounds — one to his lower back and another to his left arm at 11:34 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. His 2005 Nissan was struck 15 times. He was trying to park his car near Eighth and McKean streets when an unknown man began firing shots at him, Sgt. Gwen Bartlett of South Detectives said. The shooter and another man fled the scene in an unknown direction. The man was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in stable condition and immediately underwent surgery. Police did not have any suspects or a motive at press time. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

Murder mystery A North Philly man was slain in the Point Breeze/Newbold area last week. Jaycee Powell, of the 5700 block of North 16th Street, received gunshot wounds to the mouth, groin and chest at 12:58 p.m. June 1 on the 1600 block of Reed Street, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. The 26-yearold was transported to HUP where he was pronounced dead 11 minutes later. Police did not have a motive or suspects at press time. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334 or visit www. phillypolice.com/forms.

Triple shooting Three were wounded in Point Breeze Friday night. Two unknown men jumped from behind parked vehicles and started shooting at a 14- and 20-year-old who were walking east on the 2400 block of Morris Street at 11:10 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Both fled and contacted the police. The younger was struck once in the right foot while the other was hit four times in the left leg and three times in the other leg. A 43-year-old man was standing on the block as well when he heard the shots and felt one strike his back, Tolliver said. All three were transported to HUP in stable condition. Police did not have a motive for the shooting at press time. One suspect was described as black, age 19 to 20, 6-foot-2, thin and wearing a red shirt. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

PANGEA continued from page 1 “We should be more aware of what has happened to all cultures,” the resident of 12th and Wilder streets said Friday at her school before a City Hall reception with Mayor Michael Nutter. Curiosity caused Saunders to research the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Cumberland County for her entry in National History Day, a 37-year-old competition helping students to heighten their critical thinking and research skills. She used its Debate and Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences theme to study forgotten figures. “Everyone has knowledge of America’s use of slavery and the Holocaust,” Pangaea said. “A huge thing I’ve learned is there’s so much history people don’t acknowledge.” She sought to rectify matters in September by commencing her third year in the history club at her Passyunk Square institution — the only participating Philadelphia school whose students do not work on the projects in class, tabbing involvement as an afterschool activity with seventh-grade teacher Philomena Stewart. Pangaea and 24 others, including her best friend Audrey Kurtyan, last year’s city winner in the junior division individual exhibit category, convene to strengthen their historical appreciation. Having consulted a sample page and loving computers, Pangaea confidently chose her topic and medium by the December deadline. She also decided to tackle the project alone. “I could never join a group because I would want to take over,” she said. She devoted nights and weekends to try to understand the mind of U.S. Army Capt. Richard Henry Pratt, the boarding school’s founder, who, after declaring the best way to educate a man was to “kill the Indian in him,” looked to duplicate his methods with children. Her grade status qualified her for the junior division, open to sixth to eighth grades. She scored a third-place city finish for her web-based look at penicillin’s discoverer, Dr. Alexander Fleming, last year and earned an honorable mention, the highest distinction a fifth-grader can attain, for her website on poet Maya Angelou two years ago. She loaded up on original photos, artifacts and newspapers, but her core research came during a January trip to Carlisle. A stop at the Carlisle Barracks, site of the original building and a cemetery housing the remains of children who succumbed to heartbreak and tuberculosis and committed suicide, sharpened her comprehension. “The most interesting parts of my trip were hearing the stories from the descendants of those who attended and learning of the emotional damage the assimilation

attempts caused,” she said. “The second part was also very upsetting.” THE SCHOOL GATHERED 12,000 children from 140 tribes from 1879 to 1918 and made its objection to Native American life apparent in its slogan, “To civilize the Indian, get him into civilization. To keep him civilized, let him stay.” To do so, Pratt convinced parents their children would need his insight and the contributions of other whites to survive and thrive, so many families sent their children, who would come to lose their language, names, religion and distinctive hair. The institution produced only an 8 percent graduation rate. Taxed immune systems, climate changes and bouts with anxiety caused deaths hampering the rate and allowing Pangaea to view more than 175 tombstones. When many returned home, they found themselves with multiple identities, existing as Apple Indians. Inundated with material, Pangaea prepped her website that could not exceed 1,200 words and 100 megabytes of space. “I became frustrated at times with the look of the website, but I had to make sure I told their story the best I could,” she said. Her flash drive went missing for three days, but she completed her masterpiece, with looks at Pratt, life at the school, its end and legacy, by the Feb. 11 deadline. At the National Constitution Center March 9, she became the first South Philly student to win first place in the competition’s fouryear history of accepting junior and senior division websites. The win sent her to May 12’s state battle at Millersville University, where she impressed judges with her work’s historical

quality, clarity of presentation and relation to the theme. In her submission, she noted, “I believe the concept of giving Native American children education and vocational skills was commendable; however, the implementation of this policy was destructive to the original children as well as future generations.” Her boldness and impressive creation, complete with video clips and music, will take her to the University of Maryland June 12 to 16 for the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest. “Three of the descendants will meet me there,” she said of a guest list that includes her mother, Shari Adler, Stewart and principal Rosemary Dougherty. Pangaea felt confident about claiming one of the top three spots in both competitions and believes her work will hold up under the national scrutiny. The Carlisle students’ heirs have given her great responses, gifts with heavy emotional value. A Maryland victory would give her another welcomed token, a $1,000 prize. Regardless of the outcome, Pangaea, who this summer will begin to think about next year’s Revolutions theme, will continue pursuing historical enlightenment, gratifying the competition’s desire to make students historians. “National History Day has been a great experience for me,” she said. “It has made me wish to learn more every day.” SPR To see Pangaea Saunders’ work, visit http://72708404.nhd.weebly.com.

CLEANUP

continued from page 1 of the nonprofit Stars Within Reach’s “A Healthy Future Within Reach” initiative to provide low-income households with healthier food options. The campaign began a month ago to promote healthy eating habits and a change in overall lifestyle in children and adults alike, Nichole Badger, Stars’ founder and president, said. “We want to help raise awareness about childhood obesity and its long-term health effects in lower-income areas,” she said. In a joint partnership with the Mayor’s Office, local politicians and community activists and organizations, educational public service announcement videos featuring state Sen. Larry Farnese, U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah and Eagles’ tight end Cornelius Ingram and 76ers’ guard Lou Williams stressed the importance of staying active and eating healthy. Local adolescents explained their current eating habits and the reason for their inactive lifestyles while one talked about the struggles of diabetes. “We are continuing the conversation about what is going on nationally,” Badger said about the childhood obesity epidemic. This phase, occurring throughout the summer and fall, will provide a solution to this crisis.” Three vacant lots owned by the Point Breeze Performing Arts Center, 1717-21 Point Breeze Ave., will be transformed into fruit and vegetable gardens. The largest of the three spanning 404 square feet at 16221628 Point Breeze Ave. was the first focus. Plans also include turning the adjacent concrete lot into a playground while the smaller pieces of land will house additional vegetables and an orchid to complement what The Food Trust offers. The only fruit tree this neighborhood ever had was cut down six years ago, Alfred Brown, the center’s senior vice president said. The first seeds will be planted 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday during a community event with the hopes for a complete garden by the end of July. But, without community support, this project wouldn’t have been possible. Keeping Philadelphia Beautiful donated cleanup supplies and volunteers from the center and the Lycoming Community Reentry House, 1712-1718 Point Breeze Ave., will maintain the spaces following completion. In line with this program, Walmart also recently launched a major health initiative to provide customers with more wholesome options by 2015. With this in mind, they have agreed to match contributions up to $40,000 for this project. Tyesha Barnes, a mother of four and an employee at Walmart, 1675 S. Columbus Blvd., envisions this as the perfect space for children to spread their wings and become educated about making informed choices. “We came out and volunteered to help

cleanup for the community and give back so the kids can have a place to play,” Barnes, a resident of 27th and Dickinson streets, said. Fellow employee, Jim Minacci, agrees. “It’s like a diamond in the rough. There’s a lot of potential here,” he said of the space. The esident from Swanson and Christian streets hopes the multi-layered message will be effective. “If you get people to take care of things, it will grow and be fruitful,” the 49-yearold said.

Grays Ferry’s Tyesha Barnes, top right, an employee at the South Philly Walmart rakes freshly cut grass and weeds at a vacant lot on Point Breeze Avenue last weekend as Krista Still, of the Boothwyn store, helps to bag. Queen Village’s Jim Minacci, right, from left, Paul Montgomery and South Philly Walmart manager Frank Pellicori helped to treat the overgrown weeds to make room for the vegetable garden that will be planted Saturday.

STARS WITHIN REACH initially began as part of Nichole and Paul Badger’s wedding plans in 2008. Instead of receiving traditional wedding gifts, the entertainment lawyer and real estate developer, respectively, decided to make a difference in the community at large. “It all started as an effort to give back on our wedding day,” Badger said. The couple is dedicated to increasing awareness around several issues while organizing larger projects each year. “This event is the largest effort we’ve done so far,” the Blue Bell resident said. The community need for this garden is vital, Badger said. More than two dozen Chinese food restaurants, two food stores and the non-existence of a high quality supermarket in the immediate area are all causes for concern. Brown hopes young people will understand the quality of food this project will make readily available. “Unfortunately, our community is inundated with places that don’t provide nutritious meals and cooking doesn’t happen in

the home anymore,” the resident of 18th and Moore streets said. Healthy alternatives aren’t the only issue, but a lack of physical activity with the influx of modern technology also has added to the problem. “I would like to see more children outside playing dodgeball, hopscotch and jump rope and not inside playing Nintendo,” Johnson, who did his share of weedwhacking that afternoon, said. Improving overall lifestyle while helping residents make informed decisions are at the forefront of this campaign. “Bad eating habits are related to what goes on in the home,” Brown, 67, said. “They go to what they know they like, what’s accessible and what’s affordable.” The Stars Within Reach videos include testimonials from children describing their weekly consumption of fast food and using technology as a favorite past time. Johnson agrees it starts with parents, who need to be educated on healthy options while children need to learn about such initiatives.

“I believe when people know better, they’ll do better,” he said. Encouraging youngsters to become more involved in their neighborhoods and respectful of their own property aids in the community’s growth. “One of the things we must do is involve young people on the front end because then they take ownership, which is beneficial in several ways. They won’t let anyone else mess it up, they are going to want to eat what they grow and they will take pride in the process,” Jordan Harris, executive director of the city’s Youth Commission, said. “The goal is that it will spawn a change in lifestyle that’s important for the growth and long-term commitment to a project like this.” SPR Comment at news/features.

n 1981, Police Officer Daniel Faulkner was murdered near the intersection of 13th and Locust streets. The case spiked a global debate, with the convicted Mumia Abu-Jamal — the man still currently on death row for the murder — at the center of the political-socio arguments. James “Jimmy” Binns, who later owned a restaurant on the same corner as the murder, had no idea he sat at the doorstep of so much history. “I owned a restaurant at the corner of 13th and Locust, the southeast corner. And everyday a police officer from

the 6th District, Mike Walton, used to come and drink coffee with me,” Binns, who lives at Eighth and Catharine streets, said. “One morning, he pointed out the window and he said, ‘Danny Faulkner’s head was lying right there when I came on the scene the night he was murdered.’ “I got an instant idea that something should be there. I had owned the restaurant for a year and I didn’t know he was killed there.” Binns then took it upon himself to contact Faulkner’s widow, who had relocated to California, and offered to put a plaque commemorating the officer at the spot of his murder. In 2001, it was the 20-year anniversary of Faulkner’s

Lifestyles death and his widow said she would attend the ceremony if Binns put up a plaque. “She came and we had the dedication,” Binns said of his first plaque installation. Since then, Binns, a lawyer by trade, has dedicated more than 220 plaques for fallen police officers and firefighters throughout Philadelphia and various nearby counties. The flagship program, Philadelphia Hero Cop Plaques, which he has replicated in other places, including some Shore spots, has seen plaques affixed for 96 of the approximately 285 on-record officers killed in the line of duty. “I thought it was important and I thought it will fill a void for all the families,” Binns said of his commitment to the philanthropic effort. “The families are very moved by them and [there is] this book of all the letters I get from these family members. They are unbelievable.” Though never in the city’s armed service, Binns has become an integral part of honoring those who serve Philadelphia, additionally coming to the rescue when the Hero Thrill Show, an annual fundraiser to raise money for the education of fallen firefighters’ children, was in jeopardy. “They came to me in a panic and I agreed I would form my own company, Hero Thrill Show Inc., and I would produce it.

I timed it to coincide with the dedication of the Rocky statue,” Binns, who plays a lawyer in “Rocky V” and Philadelphia’s boxing commissioner in “Rocky Balboa,” said. “I made a deal with Stallone that the day following the dedication of the statue he would be the grand marshal of the Hero Thrill Show. I had 13,000 attending and I built it each year to where I had 50,000 attending last year. I have a lot of people to educate. I have 11 kids in school now.”

graduated in ’64 and I’ve been practicing law ever since. It’s been 46 years.” When he was still a student, Binns started fulfilling a lifelong interest when he commuted to South Philly to learn boxing at a place he still holds dear to his heart. “That’s when I started at Passyunk Gym and learned how to box. It’s at [East] Passyunk [Avenue] and Moore Street, the building is still there but the gym isn’t,” Binns said. “That started my roots in South Philadelphia and I’ve BINNS SPENT HIS early maintained my friendships years in Northeast Philainto my adult life.

He specializes in sports, family, criminal, personal injury and complex and multi-district law, which also includes significant work representing the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers at his Center City law office. He takes pleasure in his profession, but it has importantly allowed him to do other things that mean just as much. “I’ve enjoyed being a lawyer. It’s enabled me to become involved in a lot of philanthropic efforts, like the Hero Thrill Show, the Hero Cop and Hero Firefighter plaque programs, and the Cop Wheels program,” Binns said, the last referring to his effort to replace local motorcycles for highway patrol. “The thing that has fueled my ability to do all of that is my law practice.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Hobson’s choice

obson’s Choice is one where you really have no choice at all. Mr. Hobson, welcome to the City of Philadelphia and its public school system. Let us describe the main players in this unfolding drama. We have Dr. Arlene Ackerman, superintendant of schools. To describe Ackerman as imperious would be a serious understatement. Her public persona is part Julius Caesar and part Donald Trump. She is about as popular in Philadelphia as New York Mets’ fans. And her budget is in similar shape as the Mets’ organization, not so much in the number (after all, Ackerman didn’t invest school funds with Bernie Madoff), but in the dire peril of it all. Philadelphia’s schools are about $630 million in the hole. It would be all too easy to cast Ackerman as the villain (I think she enjoys the role too much to give her that satisfaction). There has been slow, but steady progress in the test scores of her public schools. Several of those schools are crown jewels that are as good if not better than expensive area private schools But it also is fair to say those schools had an academic record of excellence long before Ackerman arrived. In the interest of fairness, public schools are struggling around the nation as the poor economy has forced draconian budget cuts. Apparently, Ackerman is the only one who didn’t see the hard times coming. Perhaps she is too busy being a diligent public servant to watch TV news or read newspapers. More likely she believed she could merely cite the horrendous effects of budget cuts on her school system and the mayor and City Council would roll over. After all, why should she have to build a political consensus to get folks on her side so she could effectively deal with the crisis? Nobody is going to tell her how to manage her school budget. Apparently, City Controller Alan Butkovitz wants to do just that. Last week, Butkovitz indicated in a statement that his office found problems in an audit of the district. He wants Ackerman’s school district to be required to present a five-year financial plan to an independent authority to either corroborate or disprove his findings and make recommendations. You would think that prerequisite for asking for more money would be to assure taxpayers the funds will be well spent. Butkovitz thinks with a board overseeing the district’s finances, maybe it would have escaped the financial hole it is in. Isn’t that what the School Reform Com-

mission is supposed to do? Maybe economic circumstances are such that the district’s financial problems were inevitable. But Ackerman has to make her case to be credible, especially when she is making big, big bucks. Credibility is apparently not a concern of Mayor Michael Nutter. The mayor, you’ll remember, recently won the nomination to run for a second term. Nutter had token opposition from Milton Street. The token, in this sense, meaning you wouldn’t have bet a token that Street would win. Getting the Philadelphia Democratic Party nomination is tantamount to winning the November election against a Republican Party that should hold its meetings in a South Broad Street funeral home, it being embalmed so long ago. Nutter had made a pledge of no new taxes. Unless he also does not watch TV, read the newspapers or for that matter take calls from Ackerman, he had to know Philadelphia schools were in deep doo-doo. Apparently the mayor is a fan of the old western movies where the cavalry rides to the rescue at the last moment. That Nutter allowed himself to be stampeded by the superintendant into such an amazing flip-flop on taxes makes me think he has a secret tattoo of George H. W. Bush somewhere on his body. The mayor’s solution is a property tax increase, a tax on sweet beverages and a parking rate increase. His proposal hit Council like poop hitting a fan. Republicans holler the mayor couldn’t get away with tax increases if this wasn’t a one-party town. Duh! Whose fault is that? Maybe it’s because the leadership of the local Republican Party has been playing footsies with the Dems so long they should get a room already. At a time when the city’s taxes are too high and its tax base too small, Nutter has presented Council with the classic Hobson’s Choice (you never thought we would make the connection, did you?). Let the schools fail or drive more taxpayers out of the city. That seems to be the message from Ackerman, passed on by Nutter, and dumped onto Council’s lap. Just like that. No real time for debate or to create political support among voters. Welcome to the world of Philly politics! There is an axiom in Philadelphia politics in recent years. If you think a problem is as bad as it gets, our politicians can make it worse. Faced with a school budget crisis, Philadelphia’s best and brightest have managed to screw it up even worse. The superintendant has failed us because she not only hasn’t made her case, she doesn’t think she needs to make it. Nutter has failed us because he didn’t force her to make it before running to Council. Hobson didn’t have much of a choice. Neither does City Council. Neither do the taxpayers.

f you thought no “X-Men” movie could sink below the cesspool of “XMen Origins: Wolverine,” which itself was dug at the base of the leech pit that was “X-Men: The Last Stand,” then your sole reason to see “X-Men: First Class” is to believe the unbelievable. As if bent on dirtying whatever value was left in the X-Universe, this grossly executed prequel defecates all over the brand’s mythology and resonant themes, and, in the process, manages to unwittingly offend blacks, Jews, gays and comic book fans alike. It’s a fine candidate for worst movie of 2011, as it’s hard to imagine anything else failing more spectacularly. Opening with a cheap rehash of the concentration-camp intro from ’00’s “XMen,” then leaping forward to the swinging 1960s, the film strains to establish the friendship between Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) and Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Holocaust survivor and horny mutant scholar, respectively (Charles uses mutation jargon to pick up chicks in bars – yowza!). Joined by Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), whose character history is especially warped, the future Magneto and Professor X team up to combat mutant baddie Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon), a Nazi-turned-gangster who senselessly flaunts his minions’ powers while plotting planetary destruction. There’s no end to the unintentional humor, which infects everything from Erik’s childhood breakdown to a mutant-recruitment montage that may as well have been scored to the “Austin Powers” theme. Exceptionally humiliating is a Disney-Channel scene that sees the teenage X-newbies share aliases and abilities (watch what I

can do!), or a color-coded insta-romance between Mystique and Beast (Nicholas Hoult), a CIA science prodigy who’s accidentally outed (“You didn’t ask, so I didn’t tell,” he quips to his human supervisor). Setting the film against historical events like the Cuban Missile Crisis doesn’t help its effectiveness for squat, as director Matthew Vaughn and a band of dreadfully uninspired screenwriters constantly counter-attack with their own graceless, witless bombs. What’s more, they welcome your vitriol with easily redirected zingers like, “Where do I find the more evolved people?”

X-Men: First Class PG-13 In theaters now One reel out of four

Recommended Rental True Grit PG-13 Now available

Oscar favorites Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon are expectedly good in this acclaimed Coen brothers remake of the John Wayne western, but the spotlight is handily stolen by young Hailee Steinfeld, who’s dynamite as a precocious teen dead set on avenging her father. As atmospheric and character-packed as any Coen production, “True Grit” stands out for markedly and unsentimentally improving on the original.

We had to ask for more iced tea and salt and pepper because our server was also tending bar. However, a gentleman brought us more bread without having to ask for it. Positano Coast is a go-to place before or after catching a film at the Ritz Five. The restaurant features happy-hour specials on food and drink from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday

of pesto. I toted half of it home and mixed it with greens for a light supper. Margaret and I did not care for raspberry vinaigrette, which was the dressing for the spinach salad. Our server brought her three ramekins with different dressings so she could make her selection. Margaret decided on a balsamic vinaigrette, which she spooned over fresh baby spinach leaves, bits of sweet red onion, spicy pecans and ricotta salata that was as fresh tasting as the cheeses on our antipasto. A true test of an Italian restaurant is how the chefs prepare pasta with clams. I asked our server if I could have linguine instead of capellini. The dish ($10) was a winner. Fresh linguine was tossed in a light white wine sauce enhanced by the right touch of garlic, red pepper flakes and parsley. Perfectly steamed littleneck clams, nestled in their shells, were set atop the pasta. Since we were provided with share plates, I spooned some of my entrée onto one for Margaret to sample. It was so downright delicious, I ate every bit. Next up was a hearty serving of mussels ($10) prepared with spicy bits of chorizo floating in a broth redolent of sage and tomatoes. The mussels were a bit on the cool side as was the sauce. This was a play on the classic clams and chorizo, which is a highlight of Portuguese cuisine. Still, it was tasty but would have fared better if it were hotter. We shared a light lemon mousse ($7)

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 9, 2011

y friend Margaret’s office is located in Old City just steps from historic Christ Church. We made plans to meet for lunch and decided on Positano Coast near the Ritz Five. Although I dined there more than six years ago, Margaret and I were in the mood for light Italian fare. Positano Coast is awash in blue and white. The menu is authentic Italian and features an array of salads, pasta, fish, fowl, beef and veal. We sipped iced tea and decided to share the small antipasto ($12). Luscious charcuterie and vegetables arrived on a wooden board along with a basket of bread and small dish of olive oil. We munched on fresh buffalo mozzarella, small chunks of Parmigiano-Reggiano, sharp provolone, Prosciutto di Parma, speck, salame, caponata that was spread on a piece of toasted bread, grilled artichokes, olives and a dreamy confit made with oyster mushrooms. This was a luscious way to begin our meal as each ingredient was fresh and brimming with flavor. From the salads, we selected grilled artichoke ($8) and spinach ($8). Both were generous enough for two. I felt the grilled artichokes should have been the star of the salad rather than a supporting player because the plate was filled with spicy baby arugula, a red Belgian endive that was beautifully julienned and shards of Parmigiano-Reggiano. The salad was dressed in a light vinaigrette with a hint

28 SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I June 9, 2011

T h e To q u e S t o p s H e r e

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

ravo TV’s “Top Chef” is my favorite cooking program. I am addicted to it. There is only one show I watch on The Food Network and that’s “Barefoot Contessa” with Ina Garten. From time to time, I catch a show I’ve never seen. Recently, I switched on the TV and watched Garten prepare a kitchen clambake in an episode that first aired in 2003. I leafed through “The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook” and found the recipe for a Kitchen Clambake. Garten served the clambake with a platter of tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, corn on the cob, a toasty baguette and an apple crostata for dessert. I decided to make the clambake, but nixed the dessert because apples speak to me of autumn and winter. I decided on her Croissant Bread Pudding. You can substitute chocolate croissant in this recipe. I am still dreaming of the chocolate croissant bread pudding I first indulged in during a Sunday brunch at The Ritz Carlton Hotel when it was housed in Liberty Place. I went back for seconds. Although the recipe calls for white wine, I am going to serve beer with the clambake. Since it is early June, the hunt for redripe tomatoes could be iffy. I’ll stick with a simple green salad to begin dinner.

Jotting down a cooking show recipe is tough. Step-by-step instructions for a TV host’s underwater goodies is sure to ease the troubles. ■ Kitchen Clambake ■ Ingredients: 1-1/2 pounds of kielbasa, cut diagonally into 1-inch thick slices 1/4 cup of olive oil 2 large onions, chopped 2 leeks, white parts only, chopped 1-1/2 pounds of small red potatoes 1 tablespoon of kosher salt 1/2 tablespoon of ground black pepper 2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed 1 pound of steamer clams, scrubbed 2 pounds of mussels 1-1/2 pounds large shrimp, in the shell 3 (1-1/2 pounds) live lobsters 2 cups of dry white wine

Directions: Heat the oil in a 16- to 20-quart stockpot over medium. Add the onions and leeks and sauté for 15 minutes. Layer the ingredients on top of the onions in this order: potatoes, salt, pepper, kielbasa, both types of clams, mussels, shrimp and lobsters. Pour in the white wine. Cover the pot tightly and cook over medium-high heat until steam just begins to escape from the lid for about 15 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook for

another 15 minutes. The clams should be done. Test to be sure the potatoes are tender, the lobsters are cooked and the clams and mussels are open. Remove the lobsters to a wooden board, cut them up and crack the claws. Have several large serving bowls nearby. Remove all of the ingredients from the pot using large slotted spoons. Taste the sauce in the pot and correct it for seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately with a toasty baguette or two. Serves six. Note from Phyllis: I know I am going to get a lot of cards and letters on Garten’s recipe concerning the cooking of the lobsters, especially from vegans, vegetarians and PETA supporters. If you place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes or so, it will lull them to sleep. Or you can do the deed the way Julia Child and chefs do it. Simply plunge the tip of a sharp knife on top of the lobster’s head.

■ Croissant Bread Pudding ■ Ingredients:

3 extra-large eggs 8 extra-large egg yolks

5 cups of half-and-half 1-1/2 cups of sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract 6 croissants, preferably stale, cut in half horizontally 1 cup of raisins, optional

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the first five ingredients. Distribute the bottoms of the croissants evenly in a 10-by15-by-2-and-1/2-inch oval baking dish. Add the raisins, if using. Place the tops of the croissants (brown side up), making sure the raisins are between the layers of the croissant or they will burn during baking. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow it to soak for 10 minutes, pressing them down gently. Place the pan in a larger one filled with an inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil, so it doesn’t touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 40 minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Cool slightly before serving. Serve with whipped cream, which you can beat with rum, to taste. Serves six to eight. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

Horoscopes

By Mystic Terry Psychic Reader

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Studying or organizing for a trip may be challenging. You may as well indulge in fantasizing about your favorite subject or the exotic place you want to visit. Lucky number: 293. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): You may indulge in deep subjects about existence and mortality. You could become morbid or dwell in old losses, but if you keep some perspective, these musings may intensify a zest for life. Lucky number: 028. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Your flirty attention could give false hope to a certain someone. What you consider whimsical fun could feed into this person’s fantasies about being with you. Lucky number: 507. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): The professional image you want to project becomes difficult to maintain. A dreamy state could have you misplacing important folders. Delay anything involving your complete focus. Lucky number: 932. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Get ready for a bustling day full of social interactions. Expressing views is easier than usual and you will grasp information with your quick wit. Lucky number: 759. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Leave credit cards at home and bring only the cash that is needed to a group activity. You could be manipulated into paying for everyone’s drinks, or you could buy tickets to an event and never be repaid. Lucky number: 476. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): You won’t take values lightly. Putting energy into maintaining or increasing the worth of what you deem important is likely. Completing paperwork, cleaning or renovation keeps you busy. Lucky number: 604. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Take a trip around town to explore business opportunities and engage in stimulating conversation. Verbal dexterity and listening skills become heightened. Lucky number: 956. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): You may need solitude to sort out an internal buzz. If you uncover something uncomfortable, an insight may become thought provoking and profound. Lucky number: 870. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): A group event puts you in the position of talking to lots of people. Your focus is primarily on assessing and advancing goals. Make a point of listening to younger people for a fresh perspective. Lucky number: 496. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Whatever you do, don’t agree to anything. You are vulnerable to the charms of a person with whom you share resources. There is a good chance you will commit to something that you would normally not even consider. Lucky number: 368. TAURUS (April21-May20): Seek out conversations and experiences that challenge the mind. This is a great time to travel where a different language and life philosophy are embraced. Lucky number: 847.

City kickers

An East Passyunk baseball team preserved its undefeated start by earning its second title in three days. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

he rotund rocker Meat Loaf declared “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” in 1977, long before the baseball players at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., were born and only three years into coach Lou Spadaccini’s existence. If they were to meet the singer, they would surely balk at his reasoning. The East Passyunk athletes ushered in the third phase of their campaign by capturing the PIAA District 12 AAA Championship June 2. Earning a 6-1 victory against Bridesburg’s Franklin Towne Charter High School, the same institution they downed two years ago for the City title, the Saints snared the perfect complement to May 31’s Catholic League Championship. Their 22nd-straight triumph also garnered them their district’s top seed in the state championships and showed off their reputation as a complete unit. Based on their team nicknames, the hosts engaged in role reversal with the Coyotes, the three-time defending Public League Class AAA champions that entered with five wins against 14 losses, by attacking immediately and leaving the visitors to feel meek at McNichol Field, 26th and Moore streets. Five days after his lackluster start against LaSalle College High School in the Catholic League semifinals, sophomore righthanded hurler Joe Kinee tore through his two innings, notching five strikeouts. Senior second baseman Mike “Zoom” Zolk continued his standout year by singling to lead off the bottom of the first. Two walks placed the First-Team All-Catholic star and league co-MVP at third, with a sacrifice fly from fellow first-teamer Jimmy Kerrigan, a junior outfielder, plating the University of North Carolina signee. Junior righty Joe Jaep kept the Coyotes hunting in vain for runs, tossing two scoreless innings of his own. His mates made him the winning pitcher by scoring two runs in the bottom of the third. Junior outfielder Joey Gorman, another First-Team selection, and shortstop classmate Marty

BUTLER ALL-CITY L-CITY CLASSIC

The ninth annual Rasual Butler AllCity Classic, named in honor of the Point Breeze native and Chicago Bulls swingman, occurs 5 p.m. today at Ben Franklin High School, 550 N. Broad St. The game features top freshmen, sophomore and junior basketball players, including many with local ties. Tickets are $10. E-mail Charles Monroe, cmonroe1@hotmail.com.

CARPENTER CUP CLASSIC

Neumann-Goretti’s players and coaches added to a wonderful year June 2 by scoring another plaque for their school’s crowded walls. s ta f f p h o t o b y g r e g b e z a n i s

Venafro, a Second-Team honoree, scored on freshman first baseman Josh Ockimey’s two-out single. “I want line drives,” Spadaccini cried as his squad’s fourth turn commenced. Eager to oblige, sophomore third baseman Joey Glennon ripped a leadoff triple. A groundout by senior designated hitter John Snyder, another Second-Team pick, pushed Glennon across and incited cheers that Spadaccini begged for them to increase. Sophomore right-hander John LaMotta yielded a run in the fifth, but the home half brought scores by Kerrigan and junior catcher Nicky Nardini. The tallies gave the Saints their 18th game with at least six runs and further excited the jubilant crowd. Senior southpaw Elijah Resnick permitted two runners in the sixth, but Glennon’s glove kept the margin at five. A scoreless bottom of the sixth meant only three outs stood between the Saints and another great memory for a year that saw them set a school record for wins and enable them to match their basketball brethren’s undefeated regular season and playoff marks

against Catholic League competition. A stress-free frame with Zolk pitching sealed the victory and caused the diamond dwellers to mug for photos. “I just wanted to remind them to keep up their tenacity,” Spadaccini, with a victory pretzel in hand, said of pep talks. “It can be hard to understand how special it is to go undefeated. It is so rewarding to see new guys step up.” GLENNON ENJOYS BEING a novel contributor. A resident of 16th and Pollock streets, the hot corner handler added to his postseason success with the three-bagger and nifty defense. “Our attitude is to fight and be tough outs,” he said of the squad’s unprecedented year. He began the campaign as a designated hitter but joined the infield early on, moving just to the right of his shortstop position on last year’s junior varsity team. As the season progressed, more at-bats and defensive confidence allow Glennon to live up to his belief anyone can fit in on the talented

The Hurricanes Youth Football/Cheer Program will hold registration for fall football season noon to 2 p.m. June 18 at Smith Field, 25th and Jackson streets. Interested players and coaches should contact Terry, 215-439-7653. SPR —By Bill Gelman and Joseph Myers

Sports squad if determination remains high. “I’m not a big guy,” the lanky youngster said, “so I try to hit line drives.” His approach made the Catholic League playoffs his coming out party and leads Spadaccini to feel he will make the AllCatholic team next year. He stroked two hits and scored two runs in May 25’s 13-3 quarterfinal blitz of Lansdale Catholic. Three days later, he had a hand in a riveting comeback, as the Saints rallied from a 13-3 deficit to stun LaSalle, 18-13. Down to their final out because of the 10-run mercy rule, the Saints began their march, with Ockimey belting a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth. Eager to extend their stay at Widener University, they scored 13 runs in the next inning. Glennon finished with two hits, runs and RBI. The three-hour affair sent the team to the title game against its 2010 vanquisher, Monsignor Bonner. In the eight-inning battle, a 3-1 Saints’ win, he plated a run with a second-inning single. “He is a special player,” Spadaccini said. “Early in the year, he struggled with confidence. I told him there is no reason he should not be a starter.” The coach feels the area’s reputation as a tight-knit community helps his team to put so many games into the win column.

“This team is a bunch of neighborhood kids who love one another, who have no jealousy or me-first attitudes,” he said. Because of their bonds, they became enamored with Spadaccini’s three-phase season plan. “The first was winning our division, and the second was winning the Catholic League title. The third is capturing states,” Spadaccini said. “I know winning the state title would really finish off this season and make it ten times better.” Their City title triumph earned them a spot in Monday’s first round at Ashburn Field against Chester County’s Twin Valley high School. The teams met in 2009’s quarterfinals, with the Saints scoring a 1-0 win. The Saints again scored one run, but the Raiders stunned them 3-1. “I’ve never been more proud to be associated with the best young men in the world,” Spadaccini said. He was especially grateful to his seniors. “If I told you four years ago I can offer you two Catholic League and City titles and the best brotherhood in the world, you would have signed up,” he said. “Remember that.” SPR
