Teeming with talent

Nearly 30 area schools participated in the school district’s regional arts festival last week. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

efining talent can prove difficult for those with parochial tastes. Eighth-graders from Chester A. Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., combined their talents to create a sprawling display entitled, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Pop star, model and veterinarian, interestingly, seemed most on their minds. Becoming an artist is the quest of 14year-old Derwin Madison. The eighthgrader at Edwin M. Stanton School, 1700 See ARTS FESTIVAL page 12

Sports

n a day apt for a dip, Mayor Michael Nutter, last Thursday, announced that all 70 municipal pools will be open June 18. His declaration occurred at Sacks Playground, 400 Washington Ave., whose pool had become one of the 27 casualties — along

with Barry Playground, 18th and Bigler streets, Chew Playground, 19th Street and Washington Avenue, O’Connor Pool, 26th and South streets, and Stinger Square, 3200 Reed St., — of last year’s City economic crunch. The openings represent victory for Nutter’s Splash and Summer FUNd, a pool fundraising campaign in its second year of salvaging aquatic opportunities

for residents, especially youths. A partnership with First Niagara Financial Group, Inc., — whose President and Chief Executive Officer John R. Koelmel attended the announcement — enables the campaign to hit its $600,000 privatesector goal. The City has 73 pools in its system. It has See CITY POOLS page 9

Big plans ﬁzzle To the Editor: Cheap tricks instead of hockey hat tricks for South Philadelphia. A plan with neon glare and avaricious intentions has sizzled out and insults South Philadelphia beyond insult. South Philadelphia is not good enough. Instead of Philly Live!, a new haphazard plan was announced starting with the largest sports bar in the world on the site of the beloved Spectrum. Doesn’t Philly have enough nuisance bars? Once again South Philadelphia is labeled a loser place; losing on a big time gamble with a grand Steve Wynn casino and a flashy Philly Live! mega sports mall of shopping, eating and entertaining. All down the dream drain. There is nothing wrong with South Philly; it may just be the wrong dream. South Philly has proven to be a center for great local culture, food, shopping and celebrities, and has raised a lion’s share of founders and elite educators of all kinds. It has long been known for tightknit residential communities that make South Philadelphia compare to few neighborhoods on the entire East Coast. We have strength and imagination. What do we get instead? A bunch of inane strip stores, sports bars and stripped down thinking called Philly Live! How about a quality world-class Olympic Convention Center complex, with a 6,000-seat arena, two mini halls, 1,000-room five-star hotel with condos, premier health spa, hockey skate zone, Olympic pools, track and field athletic courses that join the major green zone of FDR’s golf course, tennis courts, natural lakes and the untapped riverfront of the Navy Yard to the south? Or how about a sports and entertainment college at the old Quartermaster (funded by the teams and Comcast) geared to prime the next generation of South Philadelphians to fill job opportunities only the unique industry in the special sports district can provide? When will the pompous pie-eyed people who look down their noses at us realize, “We the people” breed champions? John Nacchio Jr. South Philadelphia

Allergic to green To the Editor: I had heard of the suffering caused

by allergies. I didn’t really know what those people felt; no one ever tried to describe pain. I’m sure that if I had known, I would have tried harder to convince people not to turn South Philly green. I may have raised such a ruckus they would have put me in jail. That’s how bad you can be sick in South Philly. The Newbold folks have no idea what they face, so since I‘ve now been sick and recovered, I’d like to tell this story as an outright warning. First of all, stock up on non-drowsy Claritin. If you are alone and don’t have medicine, you may die. In fact, for the first three days, every time you cough, you will think of death. Let me start at the beginning. A slight dry tickle cough on an early Friday morning, a tired feeling maybe the next two days and then by Monday morning a shortness of breath with dizziness so extreme that you will look for help. Finding none, you will stumble into the house, maybe too sick to call your mother, friend, relative, anybody. Out of breath, eyes burning with the tears running down your face, a headache and a slight fever, you will get to your bed, lie down and when you do, sit up to cough up the mucus and spit it out. You will be sick for four days flat on your back. Maybe you will have someone to care for you or maybe not. I just wish you well to get the trees off our sidewalks. Thomas J. Barnes South Philadelphia

Slick politicos To the Editor: There can be nothing worse or more dangerous than an educated idiot, hiding behind an expensive suit and tie, who, left unbridled, can wreak untold horror on a nation and the world. They ooze underworld slickness that at first is difficult to detect, but sooner or later, they are realized for what they are. It is usually after conjuring up some terrible tragedy that can’t be hidden from the nation or the world. By then, it’s too late because massive damage has been done that sometimes cannot be undone. BP and all of the oil companies are well on their terrible way of killing our oceans, fish, wildlife and to the wholesale slaughter of our pristine

shores and beaches. They also are on their way to ruining the lives and the ability of wage-earners to make a living. Fishermen, store owners and most businesses are seeing the tourist trade they depend on vanish. The oil companies were smart enough to go nearly two miles beneath the surface of the ocean to extract the oil, but not smart enough to have a plan to avert the disaster they have plunged us into, and the other educated idiots did not have a clue of the tragedy waiting to happen or a plan. Remember, these are people we elected to keep things like this from happening, and we keep them in office. Is there any wonder why our country is going completely to hell? Most have to be removed from the entrenchment of office holding they have wielded defiantly and unendingly or face whatever else they are incapable of handling. I’d rather see someone in coveralls with the common sense necessary to run our country; an expensive suit just does not cut it. I am so ashamed of what we have put in charge. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

ast I checked, there is not a single soul on this great planet of ours who is perfect. Yet, in a baseball sense, we found ourselves on the brink of perfection for the third time in less than a month. Still basking in the glow of Roy Halladay’s perfect game — MLB’s second in a three-week span and only the 20th in history — while trying to ignore the Phillies current struggles, one of the sport’s rarest of gems nearly shined upon us yet again. Detroit’s Armando Galarraga was just one out away from celebrating the 21st

perfecto in the history of baseball. It always seems as though that final out is the toughest to record in a pressure cooker like this, and last night, was it ever. To the four people in America who haven’t heard the story: With two outs, Cleveland’s Jason Donald hit a chopper in the hole, forcing first baseman Miguel Cabrera to make a quick play to his right. With Galarraga covering first, Cabrera’s throw appeared (well it did) to have beaten Donald. With the home crowd on its way to a mass celebration, first base umpire Jim Joyce called Donald safe. A hush (and some groans) fell over the crowd. Having seen it on live TV, I knew it was a close play, but figured the ump would err on the side of the pitcher in this situation. While Joyce felt the wrath of the Tigers and the crowd, the replays confirmed their “dissatisfaction” for the call. One person who refrained from the Jim Joyce lambasting was none other than Galarraga. He smiled and ... SPR

Whitman school evacuated About 400 students were forced to vacate their building Tuesday when an employee discovered a grenade. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

hen a school police officer from John H. Taggart School, 400 W. Porter St., entered his office at 7:05 a.m., he spotted and picked up an item wrapped in a paper towel on his desk, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Upon seeing what appeared to be a pineapple-style hand grenade, he placed it back down and alerted the administration to enforce an evacuation. Students filed out of the building and were taken four blocks away to George Sharswood School, 2300 S. Second St., while the Bomb Disposal Unit responded to Taggart, Tolliver said. The grenade was determined to be inactive and given to the Crime Scene Unit to dust for fingerprints. A K-9 unit inspected the school for more potential grenades, Tolliver said. None were found and the students returned to classes. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

A Chicago Blackhawks’ fan was head butted in the face as a result of an argument following Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals Friday night. After the Flyers 5-3 win, a 46-year-old man from Hinsdale, Ill., was waiting with three friends for their limo on the 1000 block of Pattison Avenue when he and an unknown Flyers fan started arguing at 11:20 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. During the argument, the Flyers’ fan head butted the man in his face and fled the area. The victim’s friends attempted to chase the offender, but they lost him in the crowd, Tolliver said. About 15 minutes later, the male returned and jumped in a blue sedan that fled the area. The Blackhawks’ fan was transported to Methodist Hospital for a broken nose, Tolliver said. The Flyers’ fan was described as white, in his 20s, 5-foot-10, 150 pounds, thin and wearing a white Flyers jersey. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Road rager sentenced

Struck in the back

A quarter of a woman’s money market account was stolen at gunpoint after she closed the account last weekend. A 43-year-old woman closed out her $8,000 Citizens Bank account Sunday and at 4 p.m. the next day, she and her sisterin-law parked across the street from KFC, 2422 W. Passyunk Ave., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As the woman waited in her relative’s car, a man was walking east on Passyunk, Tolliver said. It seemed like the man was going to pass, but instead he opened the driver’s side door and pointed a gun at the 43-yearold, who immediately jumped out of the car. The man opened the glove compartment and took $2,000 of the $6,000 that was in there before fleeing west on Passyunk. The man was described as black with a dark complexion, 6 foot, 200 pounds and was wearing dark clothing and a ski mask. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 10, 2010

A Whitman man was sentenced for a shooting that occurred on the Schuylkill Expressway almost two years ago after he is believed to have lost his temper. Christian Squillaciotti, 35, from the 400 block of West Shunk Street, pled guilty to attempted murder of the first degree and possession of an inChristian strument of crime Dec. Squillaciotti 17, 2009. He was sentenced to 12 to 24 years plus up to 16 years probation for the former charge in addition to five more years of probation for the latter charge May 28, according to court documents. The trial was continually halted when he was sent to the Norristown State Hospital as it was deemed he was “competent, but in need of treatment,” according to court documents.

Launching into orbit

A handful of locals depart on a mission across the universe in a new theater company’s debut. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

amiliar with the local performing arts scene with hits appearing in Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and the Philly Fringe shows, Pennsport resident Adrienne Mackey teamed up with an array of local theater buffs earlier this year to launch a new theatre company, Swim Pony Performing Arts. “It really grew out of the fact that I was already doing the kind of work you do as a solo company as a producing director,” the resident of Second and McClellan streets said. “Swim Pony is really the result of the need to give a brand name to my work that people can follow from piece to piece.” But Swim Pony won’t be announcing traditional performances of “Hamlet” or “Hello Dolly” anytime soon. The creative juices behind the project aim to craft and debut original Philadelphia productions. “Every show we’re asking, ‘how can we make this show interesting and relevant to audiences today and really invite people to experience something new and different?’” Mackey, the artistic director of the company, said. Last month Swim Pony teamed up with Drexel University’s Urban Playground for “Glowstick Milky Way Galaxy” where people holding glowsticks, cell phones and other illuminating objects simulated the constellation. A reinterpretation of “Macbeth” with an all-female cast is coming this fall followed by an adaptation of “Like Ink and Paper.” But on Friday, Mackey debuted “SURVIVE!,” which launches its audience on a scientific journey in space through June 20. In addition to Mackey as director, Jamie McKittrick, of Third and Reed streets, David Sweeny, of Ninth and Dudley streets, and Mackey’s fiancé Bradley Wrenn, also of Second and McClellan streets, make up part of the team that created the production and perform the roles of Kinetic Girl, Weaze and Gentle Scientist, respectively. Maria Shaplin, of Ninth and Cantrell streets, serves as the lighting designer. The twist is that those attending the show aren’t squished into a seat in the middle of a theater getting leg cramps as they sit still for a two-hour performance, but instead are on their feet choosing their own

story line as they wind in and out of rooms throughout the spacious 20,000-foot set in the basement of The Wolf Building, 340 N. 12th St., and learn about human existence. Wrenn, 29, refers to it as a “science haunted house.” “You’re expected to make your own journey,” he said. “It’s controlled. You don’t just wander, but it’s not a traditional theatrical experience. … I hesitate to even call it a play or a show. The best thing to call it is an experience. It’s something to experience.” MACKEY, A GRADUATE of Swarthmore College where she doubled majored in theater and chemistry, never lost her interest in science even though she took to theater as her career path. Now she aims to bridge a gap to science with her artistic work. “I’ve been wanting to do a piece that sort of expresses the different sides of my own personal interests in life,” the 28-year-old said. She began to lay the groundwork in November 2009 and the cast and crew would

brainstorm by meeting online via Skype and Google Wave once a week earlier this year prior to rehearsing on set starting in March. Mackey researched NASA’s Pioneer missions that included the launch into space on March 2, 1972 of Pioneer 10 — the first space probe to surpass the asteroid belt. The satellite, which later captured close-up images of Jupiter, along with its descendant, Pioneer 11, had a plaque engraved with an illustration of a man and woman in addition to a diagram depicting earth’s location in the galaxy. The plaques were designed to communicate with other potential beings it may encounter. “This is our imagining what if something got this [message from Pioneer] and tried to speak back to us,” McKittrick said of the show. Even those not appearing in a room play a pivotal role in “SURVIVE!” “If one part was missing, this production would not happen,” the 28-year-old said. “You couldn’t do the show without

the lights. The lights are a character. The same thing with the sound and the set.” With the unique structure of the theater production, Mackey hopes to attract a new audience. “Because it’s such an immersive experience, I’m trying to invite a younger maybe a funky, fun audience. People who don’t normally go to theater,” the Chicago native said noting her landlord’s interest. “She said, ‘I never go to see theater but I love going to see the stuff you do.’” The show informs and educates its audience about scientific concepts, which the creators thoroughly researched, Wrenn said. “It was really fun to do that research and really delve into that stuff,” the South Jersey native said. “… We created this theme and then we went back to the original physics or astronomy and made sure it was truly accurate.” The four rounds where each member is given a choice of two to four distinguished rooms to enter for a breakout performance before returning to the main space may include the Gentle Scientist trying to understand the universe, Kinetic Girl tap dancing to explain a scientific theory or Weaze time traveling through various points of his life. “Now the thing is, the performances, once they happen, they’re done,” McKittrick, a St. Louis native, said. “For example, my first breakout that I do, I’m not doing it again, so if audience members didn’t see it, they’re not going to see it unless they come back again [to see ‘SURVIVE!’].” McKittrick and her castmates figured in order to see each choose-your-own breakout, an audience member would need tickets to at least four performances. And to see every possible sequence? “I feel like it’s over 100,” the 28-year-old said. “Either way, it’s more than our run allows. That sort of speaks to what we’re trying to explore. Thematically, that’s sort of what life is, you have your path and you make decisions.” SPR Tickets are $20 and may be purchased by calling 800-838-3006 or by visiting www.brownpapertickets.com.

CITY POOLS continued from page 1

Philadelphia resident, said as he held up a sign “promote and reinforce a healthy lifestyle through exercise and physical activity.” Such activity certainly motivated Nutter’s efforts to present an ample slate of pools. Recalling his childhood days of enjoying the Christy Recreation Center pool, 728 S. 55th St., Nutter hopes that memories at the pools are equally enjoyable for the city’s children. “Look at Philadelphia,” Nutter said. “We’ve got sunshine, we’ve got blue skies, now we need pools!” He then gave a lesson in numbers. “Last year we had one million visits to our pools. This year we plan to increase that by 333,000 and create 800 jobs in the process,” he said.

converted two of them to “spraygrounds,” areas that spray water from mounted structures and geysers. The other has become a facility for rainwater harvesting. Last year, only 46 pools opened, including five in South Philly. This figure was a definite improvement over the 10 that would have opened had Nutter not begun the campaign in February 2009, but still not a full offering. The mayor met with Koelmel last April to discuss sustaining the pools’ existence. Koelmel’s involvement in the situation could not have been more timely. A month before the April tete-a-tete, the City had imposed a May 31 deadline to obtain the funds necessary to prevent another summer with limited recreational options. Those present last Thursday came to show With applause from John R.

son said. “The pools will be open from 11 [a.m.] to 7 [p.m.] during the week and from 1 to 6 [p.m] on weekends,” Joinville said. Opening day will nicely dovetail with the closing of the School District school year. “What day does school end?” Nutter asked the children. “June 18th!” many shouted. “Good. You can go to school in the morning and swim in the afternoon,” Nutter, wearing a lifeguard shirt, visor and a lanyard with a whistle attached, said. Blowing the whistle, he said, “This is the sound you will soon hear.” Other sounds quickly followed. Following the explosion of confetti cannons and the dumping of confetti buckets on Nutter, the Mummers struck up “Happy Days Are Here Again,” while the eager children feasted on bananas, apples, juice, popcorn and soft pretzels. In only a few days, they will be wading through welcoming waters. Koelmel wants those days and their successors to be perpetually happy. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to fill up your pools,” he said.

ARTS FESTIVAL continued from page 1 Christian St., submitted seven pieces for consideration — with two making the cut — for School District of Philadelphia’s Second Annual South Region Arts Festival, which was held at The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., June 3. The resident of the 1800 block of Catharine Street has been drawing since he was very young. His first untitled piece included a pinata, a nutcracker, two soda cans, a drum and a flower. He crafted the objects using oil pastels, colored pencils and markers. His second nameless piece relied on charcoal to depict a bowl, a cowbell and a maraca. “Art is an outlet for my feelings,” Madison, who will attend CAPA come September, said. “I had not known until tonight that the festival had accepted any of my pieces, but I am happy to see my work. I have seventeen finished pieces and I have many ideas for others.” Those ideas he hones at the Saturday Arts Lab at the University of the Arts, 320 S. Broad St. “Derwin’s a great kid,” Stanton art teacher William Mathes said. “Our school thrives under the direction of Principal Diane Highsmith and encompasses the four art forms: visual, music, drama and dance.” STUDENTS FROM 28 schools — four high, two middle and 22 elementary — in the region serving 12,000 students gave even the staunchest critics pause offering two hours of musical, artistic and culinary delights at the festival for the more than 100 in attendance. Using the multicultural arts fair to cap the year, the schools promoted their credo, “The South Region: Where Cultures Come Together.” Students from the culinary arts program at Edward W. Bok High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., prepared and served hors d’oeuvres to sate the palates of those inspecting the artists’ palettes. Nearly 300 artistic pieces from all 28 schools — some bearing prices — lined the walls and filled the mezzanine for viewers to study, envy and emulate. Many students opted for sculptures, while others sketched impressive reflections on pop culture, contemporary life and future endeavors. However, they did not dominate the evening, which featured 14 vocal and instrumental performances, including a recorder ensemble, a Chinese instrument presentation, a violin duet, a piano solo, a string quartet, two woodwind ensembles and an African drum presentation. The positioning of the artwork created

A soon-to-be freshman at The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, Derwin Madison proudly displays one of his two pieces at the Second Annual South Region Arts Festival held at his future haunt.

a gallery effect, Regional Superintendent Ralph A. Burnley Jr. said. “The whole purpose of this evening is to showcase how talented our kids are,” he said. “These children are totally unbelievable and so inspiring,” Renee Novello, a regional business specialist who received a bouquet of flowers from Burnley for organizing the festive gathering, added. One such unbelievable and inspirational child is Michael Woodard, a sixth-grader at William M. Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St. In only seven years, the vibrant singer, a resident of the East Falls section of the city, has constructed quite a resume. Last September, out of 300 who tried out, he became one of 15 to sing “America the Beautiful” at the U.S. Open Men’s Tennis Final in Flushing Meadow, N.Y. Two

weeks later, he performed at the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, D.C., just missing a chance to meet President Barack Obama. May brought an appearance on the 10! Show on NBC, where he sang Jennifer Hudson’s “I Am Changing,” and August will find him at New York City’s Apollo Theater. “Michael would sing in the bathroom, and I would say, ‘Michael can sing,’” Wanda Woodard said of her son’s auspicious start. The 12-year-old sang “Believe in Yourself” from “The Wiz” as a solo and joined with seventh-grader Madison Stahl for a rendition of “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin.” “I love rhythm and blues, gospel and pop, and I want to sing professionally,”

the soft-spoken youngster, who drew ample applause for his well-controlled deliveries, said. CAPA won the right to host the event through committee planning that began in September while The Girard Academic Music Program, 22nd and Ritner streets, hosted last year’s inaugural event, which coupled with this year’s, hopes to uphold Superintendent Arlene Ackerman’s fiveyear strategic plan Imagine 2014 that includes the belief that “It takes engagement of the entire community to ensure the success of its public schools.” “The District had its overall celebration last month at our headquarters (440 N. Broad St.), but we had to honor our children separately; they deserve the recognition,” Burnley said. “I really commend Ms. Novello for being so committed from start to finish.” Indeed, Novello seems like a tireless advocate for the arts and for child development. “We are already thinking about next year’s event,” she said. We always want to try to top ourselves. These students always make it so easy for us to want to.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ith a touch of the everyday and a little splash of the surreal, Melissa Crotty, of 17th and Wolf streets, sculpts functional pottery that looks anything but ordinary. Her collection of tumblers, vases, cups, bowls and quintessential household items sport detached limbs artfully molded into works. “I make hand-built, functional ceramics. They sort of have a sculptural element to them, but they can go in the microwave, go in the dishwasher, they are high fired,” Crotty, 34, said. “I have been stuck on the figure for a long time, even when I was making large installation sculptures I was doing life-size casts of body parts. “But I like the idea of having everyday people being able to take your work home with them.” The longtime South Philly resident has been molding her signature line of crafts for more than a decade from studios in the area — first at Front and Wolf streets and for the last two years at 13th and Carpenter streets. Participating in local craft shows such as Crafty Balboa, which took place April 24 in Passyunk Square, Crotty is furiously sculpting up items for the June 12 “Art for the Cash Poor” event in North Philadelphia. “‘Art for the Cash Poor,’ it’s pretty cool. It’s an InLiquid event. It’s an art show and everything has to be under $199,” Crotty said. “I

Lifestyles continued from previous page think this is the 11th year of the art show and sale and they have music. Everything you sell, everything is sort of accessible.” Accessibility seems to be a theme running through Crotty’s body of work. Though her pieces will undoubtedly be standouts for any buyer’s collection, she likes the fact that anyone can use her functional creations and, at $15 to $70 a pop, anyone can afford them. “I’ve been making just functional stuff — cups and bowls and I make these little outdoor lanterns that have been popular, larger vases, tumblers and, since I put them in my garden, these Christmas ornaments that are not very Christmas-y,” Crotty, who keeps most of her porcelain pieces glazed but uncolored, said. “I thought since I was putting them in my garden I should bring them to the spring shows and people have been buying them.” Though happy with the response she gets at the boutique craft shows — and excited her stuff is being carried in Nice Things Handmade, 1731 E. Passyunk Ave., — Crotty has been thinking about starting a wholesale line in the hopes of making pottery her full-time job. “I hope that I can take [my work] anywhere and people respond to it.

has lived in Queen Village, Bella Vista and West Passyunk, said. “I started doing ceramics and doing functional stuff in New York, maybe like 12 years ago I took an apprenticeship with a potter.” Learning the art of throwing from the potter, who was a family friend, Crotty found she enjoyed the work. After the four-month stint, she returned to the area to take prerequisites at a community college before going to college to perfect her craft. “I went to Alfred University in Western New York,” Crotty said of the university that offers a ceramics focus. “I went there for three years and I got my BFA, then, as soon as I graduated, I came back here.” Settling back into her comfort zone, Crotty continued her work and maintained her distinct style. After working for a potter on Front, Crotty recently moved into her own space and began amassing the necessities for a self-run studio, including a kiln. “There are probably at least 20 artists, it’s a huge building,” she said of her new space BORN IN NEW York, Crotty moved to on Carpenter. “I have a couple of friends in Philadelphia to join a friend who liked the building and we often work together so the area. we do a lot of things together.” “I left high school and I came to Philly One of the those things is an annual holiand I was waitressing and I was just trying day sale, entitled the “Handmade Brigade,” to figure out what I wanted to do in myB:10”which started in her apartment where she life and [pottery] was one of the things I would sell holiday wares and now includes excelled at [in high school],” Crotty, whoT:10”multiple artists and takes place in the com-

It started out with me and one of my friends in my apt at 11th and Wharton and this will be the sixth year,” Crotty, who has lots of patrons from waitressing at Morning Glory, 10th and Fitzwater streets, and South Philly Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin St., who come out every year to her sale, said. “It’s gotten big … and everyone is asking, ‘Are you going to have your art sale, soon?’” While work is good, Crotty is still forming the plans for starting a wholesale line — which she would call Miss Millie, a nickname she was given at Morning Glory that has stuck — and allowing her art to reach a larger audience. But her glazed white porcelain creations will continue to have the authentic privilege of being made in South Philadelphia. “I like the community of South Philly and I feel like you know it’s inexpensive and when I was looking to buy a house, it made sense,” Crotty said. “I lived in other places but I just feel like I really love the neighborhood I live in now, everyone is really nice, everyone looks out for each other.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

my functional stuff,” Crotty said, “I would like it — it would be nice to make a living off of it.” But there are perks to keeping things close to home and having each piece be a hand-selected gift. “Just recently I had a friend, she had just started this new job and she works for a commercial real estate office, she is assistant to the president. It was Secretary’s Day and he had to buy presents for everybody, so she said, ‘Why don’t you give them my friend’s work?’” Crotty said. “Two people came up to the table [at a recent craft show] and said, ‘I got this for Secretary’s Day and it was the best present we’ve ever gotten! We usually get dumb stuff from Bath and Body.’ So that was really nice. “We don’t always reach these people, not everyone comes to a craft show, but I’m sure there were like 20 other people that got my work.”

Happy Tears R Available Tuesday Parker Posey and Demi Moore convince and shine as sisters in “Happy Tears,” an especially dysfunctional family dramedy that sees the pair return to their childhood home to care for their senile father (Rip Torn). Written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein (“Teeth”), the funny, art-infused film is most laudable for being just odd enough to distinguish itself from the post”Juno” flood of phony quirk flicks.

et’s forget for a moment that “The Karate Kid” is a remake, because how it compares to a certain iconic 1980s hit has nothing to do with why it’s the pleasant surprise of the season. Here is a movie that runs through all the typical motions of the underdog drama, yet manages to bring great sincerity and charm to nearly every one of them. Its humor is ever-so-gently amusing, its lessons are heard without the aid of a bullhorn, its scenes command your gaze and its emotions are real. It begins with 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) and his single mother (Taraji P. Henson) moving to Beijing to follow mom’s new career path. Culture shock and “airplane lag” become the least of Dre’s problems when, almost immediately, he’s beaten up by the school jerks for flirting with a cute violinist (Wenwen Han). As the film accurately captures the adolescent hopelessness bullying can create, Dre looks for a way to combat his ruthlessly skilled attackers and finds it in Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), a handyman and secret kung fu master who begins training Dre to “hiya!” his way to the top at an upcoming tournament. The role of Dre is a tall order for a child actor and Smith proves up to the task, showing gumption and star appeal not unlike that of his famous father, Will (who co-produced with wife Jada Pinkett). He’s a natural at the puppy love bit, and his demeanor is often as winning as the film’s action is rousing. Sure, Dre’s rapid rise as a martial arts prodigy is implausible, but the ascension has genuine uplift and mini-

mal hokum. Filtered through what’s certainly Chan’s best work in years, Christopher Murphey’s script often gets to the noble heart of not a fighting style, but a way of life. And director Harald Zwart, also at a professional high, offers very effective training sequences and glorious images of China before concluding our journey with a young hero worth rooting for. My screening was filled with applause. Yours will be, too.

think I surprised someone the other night when, in a casual conversation, I said in 1948 we should have given the Zionists Montana instead of a state in the Middle East. The person quite correctly replied Montana is not the land of their fathers. I continued with my impertinence. Where I live once belonged to Native-Americans. Would she propose I give my property back to the tribe that was here long before my father? My comments were silly and represented nothing more than the frustration many of us feel about the failure to bring peace to the Middle East. I have been a staunch supporter of Israel in this column, but the latest incident where Israelis boarded a Turkish flagged vessel, the Mavi Marmara, and killed nine civilians has me at my wits end. I am not naive. I am well aware that back in 2000 then-President Bill Clinton brokered a deal that would have brought peace to this troubled part of the world, but Yasser Arafat — the president of the Palestinian National Authority who passed away in ’04 — turned his back on it. I am also aware after the Israelis left Gaza, the Hamas response was to fire rockets into Israel. It also is true that the world holds Israel to a higher standard. North Korea sank a South Korean ship killing 39 people and the world yawned. And yes, it seems to me that the intention of the activists on board the Mavi Marmara was to provoke Israel into a violent response. If I understand all of this, how then can I criticize Israel, you might well ask. Israel’s actions in enforcing the blockade of Gaza were no different than President John F. Kennedy’s blockade of Cuba. But even though the blockade is in my opinion, a legitimate act of self-defense, Israel cannot afford to be stupid. The so-called peace activists set a trap and Israel was blind enough to step into it. The Israelis should have known it was a trap, yet they were caught totally unprepared. Instead of opening fire to thwart the pole-wielding protesters, the Israelis should have been able to use Tasers and tear gas or been able to disable the ship’s propellers and gain control of the situation. Under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel acts as if it doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks. It acts as if it doesn’t matter. Israel acts as a Lone

Ranger because it believes it is alone and without friends, so whatever it does, world opinion will be against it anyway. But Israel cannot afford the luxury of disillusionment. It cannot survive isolated in a hostile world. Israel does have friends in the West, including the United States, but it is making it increasingly difficult for those friends to defend it. Israel’s actions last week undercut its own national security, not strengthened it. By ticking off Turkey, it loses its best chance for leverage against Iran getting a nuclear bomb. The Israeli blockade of Gaza has gone on for three years without achieving its purpose. The blockade has not removed the influence of Hamas. If anything, it has distracted the inhabitants of Gaza from fully realizing the incompetence of their government as they rally around Hamas. The blockade has not freed the Israeli soldier who was taken hostage three years ago. It has not even completely stopped the rockets being shot into the country. What it has accomplished instead is to focus on the plight of the inhabitants of Gaza who bear the everyday hardships imposed by the Israeli action. Netanyahu misses the point when he falls back on arcane legalities. The world’s patience is not infinite. The world is weary of intransigence in the Middle East and even Israel’s staunchest friends are wary of Netanyahu’s sincerity. It is no longer listening when Israel points out the Arabs were offered their own Palestinian state in 1948, but the Arabs refused, still deluded by the notion they could defeat Israel in war. All of that is past history. It is no more relevant than my fantasy that we could go back to ’48 and make Montana a refuge for the Jewish people. It is not enough that the blockade of Gaza is legal. It is no longer smart. It is not enough that in my reading of the facts, Israel had every right to board the Turkish vessel and search for weapons. The way Israel went about it was not smart. History shows that protesters often try to provoke the other side into violence to gain public sympathy. It is what happened in ’68 at the Democratic Convention in Chicago’s Lincoln Park when the police allowed themselves to be drawn into a riot while the whole world was watching. It is not a matter of legality that has further isolated Israel; it is the stupidity of its current leadership. There is an old saying when deciding whether a response is proportionate — you don’t bring a gun to a knife fight. Israel brought guns to the fight on the Mavi Marmara last week. Now it is paying a dangerous price. SPR

A l l ’s f a r e

ome people put chocolate in its own food group. Think about it: The ingredient works well in pancakes or combined on a peanut butter sandwich. But the best use for this high-calorie treat is desserts of all forms. Dolores Collins prefers featuring it in her Quick Chocolate Cake. After 35 minutes in the oven, the resident of the 2100 block of South Hancock Street has it on the table and ready to slice. It’s so good that some come back craving seconds and thirds. SPR

What’s on tap

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

outh Philly chef Al Paris has a magical way of reinventing himself. He has mastered French, Italian and Asian cuisines. Paris owned Rococo in Old City for a number of years, did a redo of McFadden’s at Citizens Bank Park, made a culinary U-turn when he opened Mantra, an Asian-inspired bistro near Rittenhouse Square which later morphed into a moderately priced Italian trattoria. The place closed more than a year ago. Last April, while on our way to celebrate my sister Sandy’s birthday, Paris emerged from a store and told us about his latest culinary adventure. He is the executive chef at City Tap House, an upscale pub, which opened in the Radian near University of Pennsylvania’s campus. Sandy and I hopped on the bus to 39th and Walnut, entered the building and took the elevator to the restaurant. Wow. The front room features a hammered copper bar, several televisions for your sports-viewing pleasure, high ceilings and a friendly staff. Sandy detests dining at the bar, but I convinced her to enjoy a drink before entering the dining room. The two outdoor terraces were filling up on a balmy spring evening. Sandy’s Absolute martini ($7) and my Bombay Sapphire martini ($8) were mixed by the barkeep several feet away from us. We perused the menu as we sipped. We settled into a comfortable banquette in the dining room. Warm colors of orange, lemon and copper helped to bring Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

on our appetites. Although the tables are wood, you get a linen napkin and pretty glassware and silverware. Sandy had a bird’s-eye view of the long, open kitchen. Derek, our server, gave us a chance to look over the menu as we finished our drinks. His cheerful personality and careful attention to our every need helped make our evening more enjoyable. We selected the BLT salad ($9), as well as the shaved fennel and orange salad ($11). Both were equally delicious but quite disparate. The BLT consisted of bites of romaine, 1-inch slices of crisp bacon, creamy avocado, small chunks of saga blue cheese, tomatoes and tossed in a light vinaigrette. Sandy went to town on this one. If this salad was purely American, Paris looked to Spain for our other starter. It was prepared with buttery Bibb lettuce, spicy baby arugula, paper-thin slices of fragrant fennel, sweet orange slices, shards of Pecorino-Romano and the very addictive chopped Marcona almonds from Spain. With this in life, nothing is bad. The citrus vinaigrette was a fine choice. From the pizzas we selected the Parma ($14). The dough was obviously homemade. It was thin, crisp and topped with razor-thin slices of prosciutto di Parma, baby arugula and slices of PecorinoRomano. Sandy and I dove right in and found the contrasts of flavors and textures to be tops. I was surprised to see her eat the prosciutto. Sandy eats bacon and pork when Italian

it is disguised in an egg roll. She does not eat ham, pork loin or pork chops. I think she found the crispy prosciutto to be more like bacon than ham, so I kept my mouth shut. Although there are 75 beers on the bar menu, we sipped a glass of Sauvignon Blanc ($9) with our salads and pizza. Next up, was a serving of Abigail mussels ($12). These squeaky clean beauties were bathed in a broth made with sautèed leeks, roasted garlic butter and Belgian ale. As is the Belgian custom, French fries accompanied the mussels. Gosh were they good. Not greasy, not salty. I sprinkled on a little salt which made them soar in my mouth. Sandy and I thought the portion should have been more generous. Derek surprised us with a complimen-

Salt, to taste

Directions: Combine the tomatoes, sugar and honey in a saucepan. Cook, uncovered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thick and jam-like, about 90 minutes depending upon how watery the tomatoes are. If necessary, raise the heat toward the end of the cooking time to speed up the process. Add the salt to accentuate the sweetness. Cool the jam and serve at room temperature. Serves six. Note from Phyllis: This jam will keep, covered and refrigerated for up to two days.

1 tablespoon of lime zest, ﬁnely-grated 3/4 cup of fresh lime juice

Directions: Place the papayas in a bowl. Gently combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, cilantro and lime zest with the papayas. Toss with the lime juice. Cover and place in the refrigerator for no longer than four hours before serving. Makes five cups. Note from Phyllis: I bet this relish would taste delicious using mangos in place of the papayas.

Turtle is looking for a family who is willing to continue this training with him and maybe even teach him some new tricks.

Knights in white sneakers By Joseph Myers

A homegrown

r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

hough someone’s first exposure to tennis can come at any age, what better time is there than childhood to start an athletic love affair? Ask Bryan Hughes, and he will certainly reply “None.” Hughes, a self-proclaimed tennis fanatic, runs Jedi Tennis LLC, a 2-year-old nonprofit focusing on growth and development through urban tennis. His love for what Hughes describes as the “sport of a lifetime” has inspired him to make South Philadelphia synonymous with tennis, and he has begun adding converts by offering programs to the area’s youngest potential champions. Hughes, of the 900 block of Federal Street, created Jedi Tennis — deriving from a team Hughes had years ago, the Jedi Penguins. “Jedi Master, that’s my official title,” he said during Friday’s two-hour session at Guerin Recreation Center, 1600 Jackson St. “Kids get more excited about the Jedi end of our name at first than the tennis. No kid is going to go nuts when he sees ‘Coach Bryan Tennis.’” He also conducts a program at Barry Playground, 1800 Bigler St., from 2-4 p.m. Saturdays. At each clinic, he exposes the children, usually in groups of 8 to 16, to QuickStart Tennis. Participants can come to both sites, at which Hughes serves 20 eager pupils. Regulation balls, racquets, and courts can intimidate a child, so QuickStart Tennis — a new play format for kids 10 and under to learn the sport — uses either a foam or a low-compression ball, racquets no longer than 25 inches, and a court measuring either 36 feet or 60 feet long. The distance is considerably smaller than a traditional 78foot-long court’s measurements. Friday, Hughes welcomed three new players in sisters Giuliana and Sabrina Fierro, ages 6 and 8 respectively, and Sal Pergolese, 10. “I want for you to think about trying to bump the ball rather than swing at it,” Hughes said to the trio. The advice worked as they experimented with forehands, backhands and volleys while trying to put shots past Hughes. “It’s a fun sport,” Pergolese, who had not played in four years, said. “I just wanted to

try it again to see if I could get better.” The resident of the 2600 block of Colorado Street charged the net like a professional, placing shots just inside the boundaries. “It’s harder than I remember,” Sabrina, of the 200 block of Greenwich Street, said. HUGHES GREW UP playing all sports at Capitolo Playground on the same block that he resides. His passion for tennis burgeoned during a late 1980s to mid-1990s stint in Florida, but it became formidable from ’96 through 2007 when he resided in Texas. In the latter, he coached Tyler Junior College to six National Junior College Athletic Associations titles, spawning an easy deci-

sion when he returned to Philadelphia. “When I came back, there was no doubt what I wanted to do, bring all of the life lessons and skills that tennis taught me and share them with the community that helped develop me,” Hughes said. Footwork and hand-eye coordination are among the athletic skills he picked up, but Hughes sees increased social skills as chief among the benefits of tennis. He wants his pupils to take advantage of the opportunities his program provides. “It seems kids need activity more than ever, this being the age of video games and such. Kids just are not getting out and playing the way we used to,” Hughes.

Though he is not necessarily pushing for anyone to become a professional basher like pro sisters Venus and Serena Williams, he does want Jedi Tennis to be an impetus. South Philadelphia has multiple courts, but he said interest could be greater. Hughes has worked with the United States Tennis Association to form the South Philadelphia Tennis Association (SPTA), which he hopes to have registered as a nonprofit. “My goal is to create our team at the end of the summer and start promoting everything under SPTA. I see SPTA having a full calendar of events that include instructional, competitive, and social programming,” he said. For now, his programs are strictly for children, but by the fall, he wants to include adults. The United States Tennis Association’s Middle States division includes Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia is one of the state’s six districts open to promoting opportunities for juniors and adults of all abilities and cultural backgrounds. Juniors typically are between ages 6 to 18, while adult programs range from late teens to 80 and beyond. “We will be looking for parents who like to get involved. Tennis is the perfect family sport. With our programs, kids, adults, young, old, boy, girl, can have a blast all playing together,” Hughes said. Once his current Jedi Tennis clinics end in a few weeks, Hughes will switch gears and work with the National Junior Tennis League Camp June 28 through August 12 (see Sports Briefs, page 39). The sevenweek session for children ages 7 to 17 is part of Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis and Education. It offers instruction; competition, including tournaments; mentorship; as well as essay and art contests. Barry Playground and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, are the two South Division locations. As Jedi Master, Hughes enjoys his time with his padawans and acknowledges AAYTE and the USTA Middle States section for making his dreams realities. He now wants to reciprocate. “I want to do whatever I need to do to help them reach out to our area and make tennis relevant again in South Philly,” Hughes said. May the force be with him.
