lot goes into a 10-minute play with 20 fourth graders – it flew by on Tuesday morning in the G.W. Childs Elementary, 1599 Wharton St., auditorium but not without stunning its audience. Enchantment Theatre Co. is a well-established, 16-year-old children’s theater entity based out of Mount Airy that has a robust educational element to its mission with a small army of teaching art-

ists visiting six schools in the area. Its 20-week residency at Childs is made possible by an Independence Foundation grant ($25,000 every year for three years) and a Picasso Grant from Public Citizens for Children and Youth (PCCY), which gave them $4,800 to pay their teaching artists and help facilitate Tuesday’s production of “Muhara’s Beautiful Daughters,� a charming tale that Enchantment’s artistic director of literacy and education described as an African folktale that combines elements of “Cinderella� and “Beauty and the Beast.�

“We don’t want to just entertain kids, we want something that has dramatic value and humanly tells a good story,� Jennifer Blatchley Smith said. “It’s kind of a moral story that has humor in it – kind of about how to be, but it’s sweet and fun. It’s always good to reinforce, in a creative way, that there are good ways to be in the world and it feels good.� John Steptoe’s tale, ideal for first- to fourth-graders, features Manyara and Nyasha – two very different sisters. The former is ill-tempered, selfish and eager to find her way to the king’s hand

in marriage; the latter is virtuous, generous, and kind and ends up marrying the king after he reveals he’s been observing their behaviors on their journey to the palace. Dr. Eileen F. Coutts, Child’s principal, loves Enchantment’s presence in her building. “Each year the student performances get better and better, largely due to their exposure to the shows they have seen. It’s amazing to watch children that are shy and quiet suddenly come to life through acting,� she said. “I was ASS 3<16/<B;3<B ^OUS ,,

ric Singel savors challenges, believing that each undertaking allows him to contribute elements of his effervescent personality. Enamored with stage-based opportunities, the resident of the 1900 block of South Warnock Street is strengthening his threshold for thrills by directing “Romeo and Juliet,� his third three-person adaptation for The Mechanical Theater. “I think it is his most accessible play,� the East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant said of the William Shakespeare tragedy. “I also believe it’s easily the easiest to understand because it’s about people falling in love.� The overseer is helming the production through Sunday at The Historic Strawberry Mansion,

streamlining the text to emphasize the rapidity of the title characters’ courtship, the intensity of their confusion, and the despondency of their destiny. Because of the convenience of the plot, Singel finds the tale an affirmation of his estimation of affection. “I absolutely believe in love, especially true love, and I think the world conspires against it,� he said. “Looking at this play today, one can easily see how relevant it remains and will always stay. There just seems to be so much out there that wishes to hinder us and keep us from happiness, and when we’re young, we grab at anything that can offer any stability.� In tackling the young lovers’ exciting yet ultimately excruciating union, Singel is bolstering his backing of The Mechanical Theater, which makes the creation of theater pieces at historic sites and museums its specialty. “Romeo and Juliet� joins “A Christmas Carol� and “The Madness of Poe� as offerings to its mission and marks another success in what has been a very active and fortunate stretch. His windfall includes “Killa Bridezilla,� the story of a poor girl from South Philly who becomes engaged to a European prince. The murder mystery debuted in March and will go on every Friday and Saturday at Society Hill’s Bistro Romano through September, giving him another boost to his writing endeavors. With four such

To our Readers: We have lost so many public figures this year that I have found myself falling prey to wondering and fearing who will be next. This somewhat sad practice did not leave me in shock when I learned of the June 3rd passing of Muhammad Ali at the age of 74. I have never been a huge fan of boxing. Yes, I am pretty well-versed in its history and respect the preparation that practitioners put themselves through, but many aspects of the sport have always hit below my reason’s belt. Regardless of that and no matter what one’s stance is on Ali’s legacy as a fighter, pioneer, activist, or any other applicable term, I feel we should see his life and every existence, for that matter, as calls to craft convictions that will

leave our mourners simultaneously happy and sad when we pass from this life to the next. If we can forge days whose conclusions leave us believing we have fought a good fight, nothing will ever truly vanquish us. Joseph Myers South Philly Review editor

Mario’s moxie To the Editor: In my opinion, only three Philadelphians have a significant and positive reach. Two were born elsewhere. They are William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, and Mario Lanza. They (perhaps Mr.

Penn himself) named the commonwealth “Pennsylvania.� They (who are “they�?) name a very public parkway the “Benjamin Franklin Parkway,� and they named a small (and out of the way) public park in South Philly “Mario Lanza Park.� Yet the ruling class chooses to spend public funds to publicize an Italian-American criminal from Chicago in its advertising of a local historic prison instead of “the greatest voice of the 20th century,� according to conductor Arturo Toscanini. With the emphasis by the ruling class on the Avenue of the Arts, it is appalling (if not somewhat criminal) for them not to capitalize on the exceptional gift that a tried-and-true Philadelphian, Mario Lanza, gave to the human race through his magnificent voice and popular career in Hollywood movies that enhanced more public acceptance of opera throughout the world.

uthorities ventured to K&W Grocery, 2600 S. 10th St., at 8:18 a.m. May 24 for a robbery radio call, learning from the proprietor that only minutes earlier, an unknown male brandished a handgun and demanded money from her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Meeting resistance, the individual supposedly reached behind the counter and took numerous lottery tickets before fleeing in an unknown direction, with the location’s video surveillance capturing the incident. Surveying the area at 8:53 a.m., law enforcement officials observed on the 800 block of Porter Street a man who fit the provided description and stopped him, bringing him to the establishment, where the owner identified him as the aggressor. Nearly six hours later, police executed a search warrant at the home of Jonmir Cromwell and reportedly found evidence related to the robbery. They charged the 19-year-old inhabitant of the 2400 block of South Sheridan Street with robbery, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, possession of an instrument of crime, making terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and providing false identification to a law enforcement officer. He had not posted his $150,000 bail as of press time and will have a preliminary hearing today.

Broad St., and stated “Don’t press any buttons� in approaching the counter. An employee said she could not open the register, leading him to say he had a gun. He attempted to open the holder yet failed, fleeing east on Christian Street. He left without any cash and inflicted no injuries. To report information, call South Detectives Division Det.

Responding to a robbery-in-progress call on the 600 block of South American Street at 2:10 a.m. May 25, authorities talked with the trio of complainants, learning that the women had just left a bar on South Street when two armed black males approached them, with a third standing across the street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When one man blurted “Don’t say anything; just give it to me,� the ladies parted with their purses, with two also losing their cell phones. A male witness tried to chase the offenders

south on American Street, which is where he lost them. The women described the aggressors as black, with the first being 25 and 6-foot-3; having a stocky build; wearing a black hoodie; and armed with a silver gun; the second being 20 to 25 years old and 6-foot-3; having a thin build, a thin mustache, and short-cut hair; wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans; and also armed with a silver gun; and the third as wearing a black hoodie.

Police reported to the 800 block of Jackson Street at 6:16 p.m. May 24 in response to a radio call of a person with a weapon, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant told them he had been involved in an accident on the block with another male. When the figure attempted to call 911, the other motorist stabbed him one time each on the upper right shoulder and lower right back. A medic unit responded and transported the victim to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, with personnel listing him in stable condition. As of press time, authorities had not disclosed the name of the suspect but said they had submitted a warrant for probable cause.

She stated she had entered into an argument with her ex-boyfriend, with the latter producing a firearm and firing it approximately five times in her direction, though she escaped unharmed. As of press time, authorities had not released the name of the man. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Death becomes us ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

6) Rick MacLeish: Cannington, Ontario’s pride and joy, MacLeish will forever hold a place in the hearts of Flyers fans, as his goal in Game Six of the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals gave the club the first of its two championships. In a bit of poetic justice, he tallied the score against the Boston Bruins, the team that had drafted him fourth overall four years earlier. Meningitis, as well as kidney and liver failure, took him to the great hockey rink in the sky on May 30. 5) David Bowie: The Thin White Duke first came to my attention through 1986’s “Labyrinth,� playing Jareth the Goblin King. When I became more aware of his other music, I obviously found it irresistibly provocative and learned that he played 14 shows at The Spectrum from ’74 through ’90. His Jan. 10 passing in New York, two days after his 69th birthday, commenced, in the estimation of many, a cursed year for celebrities. 4) George Martin: I am a huge fan of The Beatles and certainly value the production efforts of Sir George Martin, who guided the Liverpool lads through their awe-inspiring and near decade-long dominance of the charts. The foursome stopped touring in 1966, with their final sprint to the United States including an Aug. 16 show at South Philly’s own John F. Kennedy Stadium. The “Fifth Beatle� died March 8 in Wiltshire, England. 3) Prince: No matter else whom we lose this year (and here’s hoping we do not part with many more people whom we admire no matter their status), the death of Prince will probably resonate the most. Dying of an accidental fentanyl overdose on April 21, the Minnesota-bred icon left behind a terrific catalogue and incredible memories for those who saw him live, including those who caught him at the Wachovia Center Aug. 22-24, 2004 in what amounted to his last full-length tour of the United States. 2) Muhammad Ali: I grew up when Mike Tyson was bludgeoning foes with impunity and since Iron Mike’s era was not that far removed from that of Muhammad Ali, I often heard the latter’s name and became a semi-student of his life in and out of the ring. When preparing for foes, the Kentucky product relied on the expertise of trainer Angelo Dundee, a South Philly native who worked with 16 world champions. 1) Ed Snider: Perhaps my bias as a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers led to this selection. Minus this man, one wonders if this town would have ever welcomed hockey, the lack of which certainly would have hindered our reputation as a great sports city. Bleeding orange and black, he helped to oversee a feared and ferocious franchise, with Stanley Cup titles coming to Broad Street in 1974 and ’75. He died of bladder cancer in California April 11.

ith the Friday passing of Muhammad Ali, 2016 claimed yet another revered and influential figure, leading numerous individuals and news outlets, including CNN, which wondered if this is “the year of celebrity death,� to fear for the future. When Robin Williams died in ’14, I recall having mixed feelings when hearing people say he felt like a member of their families, agreeing with the esteem in which they held him but also chiding their maudlin mentality. Recalling my split decision on reactions to the actor’s demise and pondering Ali’s legacy, I started to think of direct connections that 2016’s increasing list of losses has to South Philly and crafted this account as a result. 10) Kevin Turner: This product of Prattville, Alabama played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1995 to ’99, claiming the franchise’s Ed Block Courage Award in his second season. Having received an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis in 2010, he died in his native state on March 24. 9) Tony Burton: Michigan-born Tony Burton portrayed Tony “Duke� Evers in the first six installments of the “Rocky� film franchise, which included shoots in the 9th Street Italian Market. Pneumonia claimed him in Menifee, California on Feb. 25. 8) Robert Stigwood: Music lovers will most likely recognize this Australian as the manager of Cream and the Bee Gees. During his distinguished career, he also added producing to his achievements, helping theatergoers to enjoy “Evita,� which won the 1980 Tony Award for Best Musical, “Jesus Christ Superstar,� and “Sweeney Todd.� He served as the producer for many films, too, including “Grease,� which enlisted South Philly’s Frankie Avalon to play Teen Angel and belt out “Beauty School Dropout.� Stigwood died in London on Jan. 4 7) Billy Paul: Raised in North Philly, Billy Paul, born Paul Williams, began releasing songs in 1952 but needed to wait 20 years for his big break. Thanks to “Me and Mrs. Jones,� for which South Philly native Kenny Gamble served as one of the three composers, Paul scored a chart-topper and won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance. He lost his battle against pancreatic cancer on April 24.

ohn Wagner’s emails come with a telling signature: “We’re gonna fight, ‘til we can’t fight no more. We’re gonna lie down. We’re gonna bleed a while. We’re gonna get back up, and we’re gonna fight some more!� It fits – he and his wife, Stephanie, and his cousin, Monique Costa and her husband, Frank – started a memorial charity foundation after John’s father, John Wagner Jr., fell victim to head and neck cancer in July 2008. Coach Wags, as he was lovingly known, fought the affliction as hard as he loved the children he coached, and the four-member-board of the Coach Wags Memorial Foundation is ready to raise more money Sunday at the Fourth Annual Rock the Block party outside of Stogie Joe’s Tavern, 1801 E. Passyunk Ave. “We were looking for a way to honor my father’s memory,� said Wagner, the third, a Fairmount resident and retail manager in King of Prussia. “We’re a new charity and we’re not really going to raise the bar of research or raise the money the Cancer Society does. [But] $50,000 has been raised and donated to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) since 2010. We are four people with full-time jobs and kids and sports activities – it’s something we’re very proud of.� At Rock the Block, on East Passyunk Avenue between Moore and Mifflin streets from 3 to 8 p.m., $40 gets you all access – eat and drink as much as you want. They’re hoping that DJ Johnny Looch and The Business, as musical entertainment, will draw a bigger turnout than ever before. “More and more people are becoming aware of [the Foundation] so we’re getting bigger crowds. Everyone, all the cousins come out. It’s good to see everybody,� Wagner said. Monique Costa might live in Mullican Hill, N.J. these days, but she claims South Philly as where she grew up – at 18th and Shunk streets. “I don’t claim Jersey, I claim Philly. And nobody comes together like South Philly,� she said. “There’s something about South

Philly, be it weddings or funerals, there’s always a true sense of family, and they never let you down.� The direction of the foundation was the earliest hurdle – how would they honor their father and uncle best? At first they considered a scholarship to St. Josephs’ Preparatory School, where the patriarch coached for years, but they ran up against the realities of legalities and decided, instead, to focus on children suffering from cancer. “When my children were born, I always felt so lucky because they were healthy,� Costa, mother to 11-year-old Frankie and eight-year-old Nicolas, said. “I always wanted to give back to the community for those who do not have healthy children. When my children were born, [I said] ‘Thank you, God, now what can I do?’� Enter Dr. Meghan Marsac, an assistant professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and director of training at CHOP’s Center for Injury Research & Prevention. When the Wags Foundation board heard about her Cellie Coping Kit for Children with Cancer, they knew they’d landed on the right partnership.

“PARENTS OF CHILDREN with cancer have to become super parents to support their children and the rest of their family. These families inspired me to think of a way that we could try to make their job a little bit easier,â€? Marsac explained. The Cellie Coping Kit is a sown puppet with a zipper mouth that holds cards representing emotions, and it comes with nearly 100 tips for caregivers related to cancerrelated stresses. “Our very first kits were created by my aunt, Anne Vinsel in Salt Lake City, UT, and me. When I saw how my patients responded to the kit and how useful it was, I partnered with the oncology psychosocial and medical teams to conduct research on the kit and to make the kit available to more patients,â€? Marsac added. Thanks to the Wagner Memorial Foundation, the kit, which used to be $25, is free and given to every diagnosed patient in CHOP’s care network free of charge. “Because of the Coach Wags Foundation‌ to date, we have provided kits to nearly 550 children with cancer at CHOP. Several other foundations have followed Coach Wags Foundation’s lead and donated kits to children at other hospitals, as well,â€? Marsac said.

Costa’s husband, Frank, just worked on merging youth football leagues in New Jersey, and the new head of the league email blasted parents and families about Rock the Block. The response was shocking – families they barely knew were posting stories of their own child’s experience with the Cellie kit. “It’s crazy how it’s all around us, and it’s really sad but if we can just help one kid to have a smile or be able to talk about how they feel,� it will have all been worth it, reasoned Monique. “Luckily, they don’t have as much knowledge as we do about the severity,� Wagner, a proud father to John, the fourth, a seven-year-old, said. “But, at the same time, everyone’s poking and prodding at them, and they don’t know why. Once we met Dr. Marsac, we knew that this was what we wanted to help with.� They also toss money into CHOP’s pot for Life Care Group, a volunteer group that helps decorate at Christmas, conduct Easter Egg hunts and generally lift the spirits of nearly-permanent CHOP patients. As his son sees it, his father fought cancer with characteristic might, just as passionately as he coached. “He fought the whole time. He fought tooth-and-nail, such a tough son-of-a-gun,� his son said. As for coaching, Wagner noted “he’d build a relationship with everyone on the team. It didn’t make a difference if you were the greatest or just trying out – he genuinely cared about all of his players and would kick ya in the [butt] if he had to.� They grew up in Southwest Philly even though his mother grew up at Fifth and Greenwich streets, went to “Southern,� 2101 S. Broad St., and retired after 25 years of service at the UPS on Oregon Avenue. His father worked around the clock, seven days a week as a Post Office worker in Media and would often take a catnap “before football practice. He would sleep under the bridge under I-95 before practice� to catch up on sleep and, his son says he “went above and beyond – we didn’t want for anything.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

An East Passyunk Crossing resident is revering “Romeo and Julietâ€? by directing a three-person adaptation of the timeless look at love and loss. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

ric Singel savors challenges, believing that each undertaking allows him to contribute elements of his effervescent personality. Enamored with stage-based opportunities, the resident of the 1900 block of South Warnock Street is strengthening his threshold for thrills by directing “Romeo and Juliet,� his third three-person adaptation for The Mechanical Theater. “I think it is his most accessible play,� the East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant said of the William Shakespeare tragedy. “I also believe it’s easily the easiest to understand because it’s about people falling in love.� The overseer is helming the production through Sunday at The Historic Strawberry Mansion,

streamlining the text to emphasize the rapidity of the title characters’ courtship, the intensity of their confusion, and the despondency of their destiny. Because of the convenience of the plot, Singel finds the tale an affirmation of his estimation of affection. “I absolutely believe in love, especially true love, and I think the world conspires against it,� he said. “Looking at this play today, one can easily see how relevant it remains and will always stay. There just seems to be so much out there that wishes to hinder us and keep us from happiness, and when we’re young, we grab at anything that can offer any stability.� In tackling the young lovers’ exciting yet ultimately excruciating union, Singel is bolstering his backing of The Mechanical Theater, which makes the creation of theater pieces at historic sites and museums its specialty. “Romeo and Juliet� joins “A Christmas Carol� and “The Madness of Poe� as offerings to its mission and marks another success in what has been a very active and fortunate stretch. His windfall includes “Killa Bridezilla,� the story of a poor girl from South Philly who becomes engaged to a European prince. The murder mystery debuted in March and will go on every Friday and Saturday at Society Hill’s Bistro Romano through September, giving him another boost to his writing endeavors. With four such

B?<;IJOB;I pieces to his name for the restaurant, Singel loves that he can give audiences a taste of his first theatrical love, namely, comedy, but also feels the drama inherent in “Romeo and Juliet� proves just as provocative. “Conflict is always going to persist, and even comedic pieces will have it or we’d have very few good stories,� Singel opined. “No matter what I’m directing, I’m looking to present something that is clear, understandable, and moving. I think the threeperson format helps to accomplish that, though, on the surface, that might sound like an impossibility.� Possessing “an almost Zen-like way of letting people do what they do best� when directing, he enjoys shaking the Shakespearean tree, finding that the treatment of love and loss within “Romeo and Juliet� provides moments for audiences to reflect on their own missteps and breakthroughs. “Everything contributes to the journey,� Singel said of applying experiences to stage-set examinations of life. “We deal with so much, and that makes for great storytelling. I don’t care how many times ‘Romeo and Juliet’ has been produced. It’s new each time, particularly to the people

ÂŽ a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

who are putting it on, because we have complexity to us in our search for simplicity. It’s a pretty amazing blend.� THE ALTOONA NATIVE entered into the theater world as a high school student, lauding “that incredible feeling� that his efforts yielded. Deeming his calling “a powerful communication forum� because of the interplay between patrons and hires, he loved drawing laughs, with Philadelphia becoming the source of elation following his matriculation at Penn State University. Though he handled children’s pieces for Plays & Players Theatre and tended to other gigs at night, he mostly departed from the creative scene to work a corporate job, a vocation that though not entirely fulfilling, played a vital role in his maturation as a director. “Unless you’re trapped in a bubble, you’re going to deal with a ton of personalities,� Singel declared. “As I navigated that existence, I definitely came to understand how to mesh with various people and to respect their stances and goals. To say that has helped me when I’m involved with a show would be a huge understatement.�

As a theater practitioner, the local presence has always wondered what lessons his treks might engender, with the loss of his corporate position in 2009, a year after he purchased his South Philly abode, prompting him to paste his life together one production at a time. “I don’t have an overarching philosophy on how life should go or how I should try to inject myself into the local theater community,� he offered. “I just want to be someone who reminds us all that theater should be instructional no matter if the play is 500 years old or was written last Thursday.� With the aforementioned Mechanical Theater works and his present duty, Singel has shifted toward directing as a passion, but that is not to say that he has not proven a potent actor and writer. His one-man show “The Wedding Consultant� counts as his greatest turn as a thespian and a scribe, with its ’07 world premiere in the Philadelphia New Play Festival and ’11 inclusion in the FringeArts Festival as evidence of its clout and its creator’s insightful identity. “It’s fun to explore your comprehension of this goofy planet,� Singel, who has also served as a contributor to the commended

personnel comprising The Waitstaff, said. “The more I interact with people, the more I grow, and that’s extremely rewarding.� His dealings with The Mechanical Theater have not found him fraternizing with too many folks, but the intimacy present within a well-run show has not suffered because of a lack of bodies. Singel singled out the three-person format as “a thrilling way� to tell a story and confessed to seeking other works with which to tinker. Later this month, fellow South Philadelphian Johnny Smith will engage in a staged reading of Singel’s “Harley� for the SoLow Festival, with the wordsmith eager to have his submission address the perils of bullying. “I’m hoping for a return to the stage myself, too,� Singel said of his desire to convey action as well as to pen and guide it. “I’m all about the next challenge. You get that way when you’re 24, which is how old I am until I get it right!� SPR For tickets, call 215-228-8364, or visit themechanicaltheater.weebly.com.

34TH YEAR IN THE PIZZA BUSINESS!

he most popular game in America is not Assassin’s Creed or Battlefield; it’s the blame game. It’s a diversion played by everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, and political persuasion. The blame game is what energizes radio talk shows, 24-hour cable news, and editorials. Personalities from Rush Limbaugh to Bill Maher to Joe Scarborough earn a lucrative living playing the blame game. In a moment of candor, I might add that your columnist is on the list of frequent players, though Uncle Nunzi adds, earning much less money. If the blame game were to disappear tomorrow, so probably would the trolls who fuel social media. But sometimes the blame game goes too far. Sometimes assessing blame is either inappropriate or over-the-top. Sometimes we have to step back so we don’t make the act of placing blame an automatic response. So gather around your aging columnist as we list some situations where the blame game has badly gone off the track. 1) The shooting of the gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo: The tense situation involving the rescue of a four-year-old child from a gorilla in the Cincinnati zoo incident ended with the killing of the animal. Police announced no criminal charges were warranted. Zoo officials here and elsewhere, as well as many animal experts, supported the measures taken by Cincinnati Zoo officials. There was no evidence that the mother of the child was negligent. But this is America, where the hell was the blame? Almost immediately, some animal rights groups protested - social media went into overdrive-cable news channels were running headlines screaming “WHO’S TO BLAME!!!� Cincinnati Zoo officials explained why tranquilizers were not used in this instance for fear of agitating the gorilla to the point where the child would be endangered. The mother, who had two other children with her, attempted to explain on social media that too often we tend to assess blame without the facts. All her cautionary note seemed to do was to turn most of the outrage against her. A local Daily News columnist called the incident a prima facie and slammed the mother. This is the same columnist who counseled caution when certain priests were accused of pedophilia and defended Joe Paterno’s actions in the Jerry Sandusky case. As of this writing, police have announced they will reopen the investigation to see if criminal charges are warranted against the parent of the child, the Cincinnati Zoo, or both. The investigation seems to be the result of false outrage

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ rather than any new evidence. 2) The unfairness of the “grocery� tax to fund universal pre-K: I know this has become a frequent topic in this column, but nowhere is the blame game more hypocritical. Blaming a proposed tax on sugary beverages as hitting the poor community the hardest is one thing, but thinking that a tax on containers is more fair is not only silly, it’s dishonest. At least the poor can escape the beverage tax by cutting down on or eliminating sugary beverages from their diet. There is no way for them to escape a container tax. Might I suggest that the political rationale for preferring a container tax is simply caving to the demands of the beverage industry and avoiding the risk of losing their campaign contributions? Again (it’s worth repeating), the proposed tax is on sugary beverages, not on groceries. 3) Blaming Hillary Clinton for the Benghazi incident: No mistake about it, the death of our Ambassador in Benghazi was tragic. An investigation was warranted. Before any investigation occurred, however, the usual suspects blamed Hillary Clinton. To date, there have been 33 hearings held on the Benghazi incident. Some 3,194 questions have been asked. Clinton herself testified until the cows came home and the swallows returned to Capistrano. About $22 million of taxpayer money has been spent. Not a shred of evidence has been found to indicate any wrongdoing by the former Secretary of State and current presidential candidate. Still, the hearings go on without end. Sometimes, a tragedy is just that. A tragedy. 4) Blaming Obamacare: To hear the critics, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, as it has come to be known, has ruined our perfectly good health care system. Amnesia is a common affliction among Republicans, especially when it comes to finding reasons for blaming Barack Obama. No one, not even the President, is claiming the ACA is perfect. In point of fact, the President indicated that when the ACA when into effect, that it was only a first step toward providing health care for more Americans who previously lacked coverage. More than 15 million Americans now have medical coverage as a result of Obamacare. Despite that fact, the Republicans’ obsession with repealing it resembles that of Captain Ahab’s quest for Moby Dick. Congress has tried to repeal Obamacare 60 times and counting. There have been multiple challenges to the law brought to the Supreme Court. What does the party’s presumptive nominee for President promise to do on his first day in office? Repeal Obamacare. 5) Booing LeBron James: LeBron James, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, is the greatest active basketball player. Steph Curry, of the Golden State Warriors, may be more fun to watch, but James can do more things. This is the sixth tme that he has brought a team to the NBA Finals. I shouldn’t have to write this, but LeBron James does not deserve boos. SPR Commentatsouthphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

raduation season has hit us, and while scholars have certainly merited some monetary rewards, a nutritional treat would certainly prove a wonder for eyes and stomachs, too. Theresa Greco offers such a goody to readers through her Blueberry Peach Pound Cake submission, with similarly sweet and delicious options available through her website, foodhuntersguide.com. The native of the 900 block of Dudley Street calls Arizona home, but despite that change, she remains loyal to helping South Philly to resonate as a culinary powerhouse. If you happen to heed the East Passyunk Crossing product’s call to maximize this time of year’s fruit-filled possibilities, your practicality’s report card will include only the highest marks. SPR

The Dutch’s Savory Scallion Wafe

<

o matter his location, Kevin Watters has always enjoyed transparency in his culinary journey, feeling that frank proceedings will best serve his ambition. Thanks to an open kitchen and loads of levity with his bosses, the 30-year-old has reached the pinnacle of his creativity through his stint at The Dutch, 1527 S. Fourth St. “The atmosphere is pretty calm and relaxing,� the West Philly inhabitant said from the nearly two-month-old Dickinson Square West haunt. “I really admire the input of my employers, especially because there is a bit more freedom here than what I can recall having had at other places.� Under the guidance of chefs Joncarl Lachman, who also runs Noord, 1046 Tasker St., and Neuf, 943 S. Ninth St., and Lee Styer, who helms Fond, 1537 S. 11th St., where he recently worked as a cook, Watters, with chef endeavors at Chhaya Cafe, 1819 E. Passyunk Ave., rounding out his South Philly vocational pursuits, helps The Dutch to thrive as a six-days-a-week brunch-centric operation. With a family history of food preparation, the hire loves having joined the notable cooks in opening a spot, particularly because of his history with Styer. “He has such a great personality,� Watters said of the co-proprietor. “He really understands the business, and he enjoys his work, so it’s easy to admire his work ethic. I like that about Joncarl, too.� Through his trek, including time at Cavanaugh’s in University City, Styer’s Cafe in Glen Mills, and The Crazy Leprechaun Bar & Grill in Port Richmond, the fortunate figure has become especially adept at pizza dough and soup preparation, and though The Dutch’s menu has mention of “Soups & Sandwiches of the Day,� one will mainly find Watters halting hunger through specialty plates, omelettes, and the tempting breads section from which patrons can purchase the Savory Scallion Waffle. The item greatly contributes to the space’s overall success, with weekend requests particularly profitable. “We’re not a large place, so it’s easy to get feedback, especially with the open kitchen,� Watters

said. “This does well and should be a good one to try to make at home, too.�

DIRECTIONS: For the waffle, mix the dry ingredients first. Follow by mixing the eggs and melted butter together. Add the buttermilk and whole milk to the eggs and butter, and combine the foursome with the dry ingredients. Place the result on a waffle iron, and press for two-and-a-half minutes. Combine the beef and butter in a pot, and cook until the former browns a bit. Add the flour to make the material pasty. Add the heavy cream and whole milk, and heat on medium to prevent sticking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the product on top of the waffle, and consider adding more scallions. By Joseph Myers SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/ features.

n June 4, The Oyster House celebrated its 40th birthday. There are a number of reasons a restaurant has been in business for such a long time. Another restaurant is also about to turn 40. La Famiglia, one of the city’s finest upscale Italian restaurants, opened its doors just in time for the Bicentennial celebrations. As I wait for new South Philly restaurants to open, I thought it a fine idea to write about two very different places that the public and tourists enjoy. I will write about La Famiglia next month. The history of The Oyster House actually goes back many years when Sam Mink opened Kelly’s on South Mole Street. Sam’s son David had the idea of opening a top seafood restaurant on Sansom Street years later. Now the third generation of the Mink family is in charge. David’s son Sam, with David’s insight and thoughts, gutted the building and re-opened seven years ago. I have been a loyal customer for about 30 years. Certain criteria for a restaurant to be a continued success at a time when places are opening all over town must be in place. I love to eat at the oyster bar where Cornell, the best shucker in the city, along with several others, opens dozens and dozens of oysters from around the country and local jumbo cherrystone clams. On the counter and on each table stands a large footed bowl of oyster crackers and a jar of very hot homemade horseradish. A number of years ago, Sam had the idea to institute a “buck a shuck� Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Cherrystone clams are one dollar each and the oyster of the day, which upon my visit were Delaware Bays, are the same price. Certain wines and beers on tap are also fixed at a lower price. The place is mobbed. Patrons of all ages arrive early to capture a seat at the oyster bar, the bar, or the window seats and high top tables. Many stay for dinner. The fish and shellfish are immaculately fresh. Many years ago, I bumped into David Mink buying fish for The Oyster House at the Seafood Distribution Center. The first rule for success is consistency in quality and purchasing ingredients in season. On several occasions, we have cleaned The Oyster House out of cherrystones by downing dozens of them with a glass of Muscadet. The shrimp roll with homemade potato chips is on offer at lunch. Sam flies in rolls from Maine for the shrimp and lobster rolls. The menu changes according to the season.

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

On our stop, we enjoyed a Negroni and martini with two dozen cherrystone clams. Unfortunately for us, we ate the last of the lot. Although I have also enjoyed the fish stew or a simple piece of grilled fish with vegetables, we wanted to try the New England clam bake for two ($56). Our server brought us bibs, lobster crackers, and small forks along with a bowl for the shells. A large blue and white old-fashioned pot, akin to the roasting pan I prepare my Thanksgiving turkey in each year, was filled to the tops with treats from the sea. I asked our server if the chef could find a female lobster. He did. The roe is so delectable. The lobster weighed two pounds. The slightly sweet tail and meaty claw meat were scrumptious, especially after being dipped into drawn butter. I was not surprised to discover some slightly spicy chorizo included in the pot. Men and women from Portugal who settled in New England often added one of their favorite ingredients to this classic dish. Mussels and Ipswitch soft-shell clams made me quite content. The latter bring me back to my childhood during summers spent at the Jersey Shore. Corn on the cob and perfectly steamed red bliss potatoes are always included in the pot. Muscadet is my wine of choice with oysters, clams, and now the New England clam bake. Actually, the portions are so generous, this entrĂŠe could easily serve three. Fine service has always been a hallmark of The Oyster House. Servers and assistant servers keep the steady pace going like an orchestrated symphony. The surprise of the night was a delicious piece of vanilla cake with luscious butter cream frosting. There is not a seafood restaurant in town to match The Oyster House. This is why it has been a staple in Philadelphia since 1976. Happy birthday to everyone who works at this Center City gem. I wish you 40 more. Four tips of the toque to The Oyster House. SPR

Psychic Reader

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Heavy commitments and argumentative friends are G draining your energy. Do not get caught up in other people’s concerns, and avoid controversial situations. An opportunity to work on a freelance basis will be your cup of tea. Keep news of this assignment from a rival. Lucky number: 875. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): A friend is throwing you hints about owed money. He or she paid a debt on your behalf, and you are not happy with the way the individual has interfered. You keep receiving reminders of this favor when you prefer to pay your own bills and attend to your own financial business. Lucky number: 481. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Although friends and family will try to get your attention, you

Lucky number: 725. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): News from a senior colleague will lead you to think your situation will soon improve dramatically. This may not be the case. Although the opposite will not occur, secondhand news may not be totally correct. Wait until you know things are truthful before you act on what you hear. Lucky number: 342. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Domestic duties and family discussions will be sources of stimulation. Since you are trying to avoid a friend or neighbor, you will prefer spending time with those closest to you. If you are waiting for the results of a test, audition, or interview, they will be in very soon! Lucky number: 123. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Being resourceful is critical. You could save money by checking out price comparison apps and websites. Buying only items that are on sale will help stretch the budget. Money from a legal settlement or refund will be delayed. If you have filed an insurance claim, seek legal advice to get what is rightfully yours.

a difference between being alone to recuperate and hiding away from the world. By refusing social invitations, you are pushing people away. Being a loner is taking a toll on your soul. Make a special effort to socialize, even if it means introducing yourself to strangers. Lucky number: 107. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): You have doubts about the likely outcome of new financial or business activities. Although this is an exciting time, the thought of what you might lose is making you wary. Available opportunities will require you to take a risk. If you decide to play it safe, trust your intuition. Lucky number: 567. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Listen and take notice of what’s going on around you. Observe without making much in the way of comment. Doing so could mean avoiding a sticky confrontation and learning something useful. The pace may be hectic later, but you will achieve much to feel proud about. Lucky number: 214. SPR

BVS`S O`S POaSa 7 `S[S[PS` A Marconi resident penned a book about venturing to every major league baseball stadium before his 30th birthday. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

A

Stephen Pagano has adored baseball since his childhood, with his debut book serving as an homage to the game. Left Photo provided by Stephen Pagano; Right Photo by Tina Garceau

our exposure to the game comes through time at Veterans Stadium,� he said of the club’s home from 1971 to 2003 and at which he and brother Mark often sat in the 700 level’s right-field corner. “I really credit that place for initiating this love, so we showed a bit of South Philly joy and camaraderie wherever we went.� Unlike other individuals with wanderlust, Pagano and his peers did not immediately ponder placing their rears in seats across the country, but as they reached the halfway point, the gang’s “general manager,� so to speak, knew that their ever-increasing enthusiasm and expert management of funds would prove the keys to an unforgettable collection of memories. “It’s definitely the most involved project I’ve ever put my mind to,� Pagano said. “I definitely feel a sense of accomplishment, and if someone reads this book and feels inspired to duplicate what we did, I’ll feel even happier. I’d even love to do it all over again because there are definitely some more memories to make and oversights to correct, like seeing the Hockey Hall of Fame [in Toronto].� AN INCREDIBLY INVITING read for fellow fans of our national pastime, especially

for those with vast interest in its history, Pagano’s labor of love will also resonate with aficionados of photos and friendships, as its 17 chapters contain images and exchanges that will surely inspire “Good for you guys� reactions. “It’s not lost on us how fortunate we are to have done this,� the author said of the journey that inspired his inaugural writing endeavor. “We’re all still relatively young, so as the years pass, I think our recollections are going to have more significance.� Pagano relayed that everything he and the trio did revolved around the stadium experience, yet that emphasis did not deter them from attempting to maximize their enjoyment of each city, including brushes with Dallas’ Dealey Plaza, the location of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination; Alcatraz; the Golden Gate Bridge; and the Hollywood sign. That California-heavy group also teams with a gold convertible-aided jaunt to make Pagano et al especially happy that Major League Baseball and the Golden State are quite compatible. With regards to stadium-based action, which included knocking out two sites in one trip when feasible, the quartet caught some great games, including Boston Red Sox thenrookie hurler Clay Buchholz’s Sept. 1

tephen Pagano definitely delights in his life as a local yet does not deem an occasional escape a betrayal of his boundaries. A lover of baseball and a detractor of inhibition, he chronicled his captivation for the sport by penning “30 by 30,� a thoroughly informative and enriching account of his visitation of every Major League Baseball stadium. “So many people are trapped in a South Philly bubble and are afraid ever to consider popping it,� the resident of the 2600 block of South Rosewood Street said. “There are many things that I will never waver on, and one is that you have to get out of your comfort zone. You have to do things because there is so much to see.� The Marconi inhabitant and three contemporaries pulled off the feat of length, commencing in 2006 at the old Yankee Stadium in New York and concluding seven years later at Minnesota’s Target Field. Publishing the work May 21, the 31-year-old, whose book’s title acknowledges their having trekked to the venues ahead of their 30th birthdays, has found himself especially reflective, particularly because the odyssey gave him an enhanced estimation of his continual growth. “More than three years after we finished, I still see it as a huge part of the formation of who I am,� Pagano said. “We stuck with it because we love baseball, wanted a challenge, and enjoy travel. Those are characteristics that I’ll take to the grave with me.� He will also retain a tremendous sense of gratitude, as their adventures coincided with the most successful run in the history of the hometown nine, a stretch that he details throughout the text with season recaps. Often planning trips to see the Phillies in action, they took pride in representing not only the City of Brotherly Love but also their native turf. “South Philly folks are really knowledgeable about baseball, and so much of

no-hitter versus the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, which three of the four friends list among their favorite spaces on page 198. Thanks to the seven years of appreciation for the professionals’ pursuit of perfection, the young men know that though they will age in the chronological sense, they will remain forever young on account of their affinity for the diamond. “I just had to write this to share how much bonding can come through playing and watching this game,� Pagano, who as of Monday had hawked 75 copies of the paperback, said. “It’s also made me much more fascinated with travel because there’s way more life to experience, even if only for a day, than many people want to admit. It’s cool to establish a life that has a central location, but if you can have some adventures, I recommend that you do.� Looking back at the excursions, the scribe, who recently celebrated two years of wedded bliss with wife Alana and who works in the operating room at Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., cannot recall how much money they spent or how many miles they traveled, but the lack of that information cannot counter the surplus anticipation that they feel about continuing to visit any new stadium, with the Atlanta Braves’ SunTrust Park, set to debut next year, on their mind. “There’s also talk of making other trips,� Pagano said, noting the cementing of September’s trip to the Massachusettssituated Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for Sixers great Allen’s Iverson’s induction. “Maybe we’ll do basketball stadiums. Who knows what the future holds?� SPR
