The Gosnell debate

Tom Cardella’s column “Using Gosnell to ban abortion,� (May 30) triggered a response from regular letter contributor Gloria C. Endres (“Afterthoughts on Gosnell,� June 6). The conversation has continued on southphillyreview. com. Gloria, I always enjoy your intelligent letters, and I’m not going to re-litigate abortion with you because it is already settled law. We agree that family planning is preferable to abortion. The point of the column, which you dismiss, is that if you want to prevent more Gosnells from practicing their butchery on women, then don’t ban all abortions

because we know what happened before abortion was legal. Nothing you wrote refutes that point. Tom Cardella via southphillyreview.com Well, Tom, thanks for your reply and the nice words. I fully understand your point. It has been made by others. But what you gloss over is the fact that what many women want is full control of their reproductive systems at any time during the pregnancy with no restrictions whatsoever: Abortion on demand. That is what “choice� means to them. If the law restricts that, they will find a way to do it illegally. Only a few are demanding a ban on all abortions. The strictest bills being considered do allow for exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.

Looking south Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion

“It probably is the construction people, the man who was high and the company.� Mary Masciocchy, Broad and Porter streets

Mail

B y K at h r y n P o o l e

The point I was making was that we need to educate women as to what actually happens during an abortion, which is painful to the fetus at even early legal stages. Stop using euphemisms. And to regulate and inspect strictly any doctor who performs them. Otherwise, there will always be a market for butchers like Gosnell. No matter what. Gloria C. Endres via southphillyreview.com

Shifting the conversation This is in response to Danielle Duffy’s letter “Passing thoughts� (June 6). Danielle, let’s get to the point on this issue. You say that raising the price on cigarettes will help fund our education system. Then in the same breath, you are telling people how dangerous smoking is. This is a contradiction. To continue fund-

ing the education system, we have to hope people continue smoking because if they don’t, [the school district] will continue to be underfunded. Last week in USA Today, a doctor wrote an article about how unhealthy our air has become, especially for children. Smoking wasn’t even mentioned, but car exhaust was. China’s air is so bad, people walk around with surgical masks. Why is it people like you make no mention about how releases from factories and emissions from cars, trucks and busses are causing cancer and other illnesses. Waving a hand in front of one’s face and letting out fake coughs have become trendy. They don’t do that when a car, bus or truck burning gas and oil rides by, leaving them in a cloud of cancerous fumes — just someone holding a cigarette.

The man believed to be responsible for the latest pharmacy holdup in South of South has been apprehended. Police arrested Steven Akins, 25, of Port Richmond, at his home June 6, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Akins allegedly entered CVS, 2132 South St., handed a 21-year-old pharmacy employee a note, demanding oxycodones and pointed a silver handgun to his face at 4:47 p.m. May 21, Tolliver said. The 31-year-old female pharmacist retrieved the drugs from the safe and handed them to the offender. He was charged with robbery, retail theft, simple assault, theft, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, possession of narcotics charges and firearm violations, according to court records. He is being held on $255,000 bail, which had not been posted at press time.

Fiery fight A Grays Ferry woman allegedly set her boyfriend’s car on fire after a dispute. A 35-year-old man and his live-in girl-

friend, Synethia Williams, 35, of the 1500 block of South Garnet Street, were arguing about another woman, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The live-in boyfriend left the house briefly, but upon his return the debate continued. Williams allegedly set a roll of paper towels on fire and quickly put out the flame in the kitchen sink. When the man left the residence again, he noticed Williams allegedly throwing trash inside his 2000 Dodge before setting it ablaze. The fire department put out the fire and declared it arson, Tolliver said. Williams was charged with arson, risking catastrophe and possession of an instrument of crime. Her bail was set at $25,000.

She was unscathed. An unoccupied 1998 Jeep parked near Taylor Street also received a bullet to the front windshield. Investigators discovered ballistics evidence on the 2400 block of Tasker Street, but did not find a shooter or victim, Tolliver said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

COURT REPORT

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r ev i ew.c o m

Staying put A Grays Ferry resident was sentenced for killing a man whose nephew he believed shot his friend.

fter a failed attempt at retaliation against the man he thought wounded his buddy in the face, Christopher Goodwin gunned down his target’s uncle. Goodwin, 22, of the 2100 block of South Marston Street, was found guilty and sentenced to life without parole May 28 for the murder of Dwayne Issacs, 48, of the 2100 block of South 26th Street, according to court records. “Days before this murder Christopher Goodwin’s friend was shot in the face during a home invasion,” Assistant District Attorney Lorraine Donnelly said. “Word on the street was Dwayne Issacs’ nephew was somehow involved. Since [Goodwin and his friends] couldn’t find the nephew, they killed Dwayne Issacs.” Goodwin walked up to Issacs at 12:18 a.m. June 26, 2011 on the 2600 block of Jackson Street, firing at him even after he fell to the ground, Donnelly said. He received five bullets to his head, neck and chest and was pronounced dead 12 minutes after medics arrived to the scene. Three individuals were later arrested for the home invasion — none of whom were Issacs’ nephew, Donnelly said. In addition to murder, a jury found Goodwin guilty of carrying a firearm in public and possession of an instrument of crime, according to court records.

There were even more children, who escaped without injuries, on the street that night, Stryd said. The victims’ injuries consisted of leg wounds. The 23-year-old also suffered a broken leg, which has resulted in some lingering pain.

Banned from FDR Park

The man responsible for shooting four people, including a 6-year-old, in what is believed to have been gang-related retaliation between the Fifth and Seventh Street gangs, has been sentenced. A jury convicted Charles “C.J.” Rice, 19, of West Philly, of four counts of attempted murder and related charges Feb. 8. Court of Common Pleas Charles Rice Judge Denis P. Cohen sentenced him to 30 to 60 years behind bars May 24. “What came out during trial was C.J. Rice had been shot before,” Assistant District Attorney Eric Stryd said. “He had been shot about three weeks prior to our case. No one was ever arrested on that case, but [the 17-year-old victim] was a person of interest in that case.” The 17-year-old male was sitting outside

Building a history Students from a Girard Estate school assisted a low-income neighborhood through their senior project. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

abriella D’Alonzo has a simple directive for those who wish to enhance communal morale — volunteer. The 18-year-old and three peers at Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St., acknowledged altruism’s power this spring by assisting Rebuilding Together Philadelphia as their senior youth service project. Through their twofold participation, the students helped the organization to continue its 25-year mission to improve low-income homeowners’ abodes. “I love helping people, especially through volunteering,” D’Alonzo said Tuesday at her Girard Estate school. “It makes every day so much better.” The resident of the 1900 block of Ritner Street and classmates Olivia Busillo, Florencia Ferthio and Tamar GAMP classmates Florencia Ferthio, Jackson united in March upon from left, Tamar Jackson, Olivia Busillo social science instructor Brian and Gabriella D’Alonzo teamed up to Terpak’s revelation of their culhelp Rebuilding Together Philadelphia’s minating task.

over a two-week stretch in early May and had their amount doubled thanks to their generous ally. Their school hosted Rebuilding Together Philadelphia Executive Director Carrie Rathmann May 29, giving her the money from their culinary crusade and learning from the overseer that their brainchild had accumulated more funds than many organizations’ projects. “That felt great to hear,” D’Alonzo said, noting their decision to couple their interest in communal growth with Rebuilding Together Philadelphia’s quest for the alleviation of stress among the 60,000 lowincome city homeowners has resonated as their most hope-affirming endeavor. “We essentially learned that a little effort can produce so many positive results.” The organization’s board uses “A Safe and Healthy Home for Every Person” as its guiding principle and consistently gathers committed parties throughout Philadelphia for Saturday events. Though their April assignment took them out of South Philly, the girls anticipate occasions to help the realm all have called home in one sense. “We enjoyed this so much that any chance to contribute is something we’ll welcome, especially since we’ve already developed a great relationship with Carrie and her colleagues,” D’Alonzo said. “If it’s in South Philly, that will be even better.”

As the youngsters approach their Wednesday graduation, they have given much attention to reflecting on their farewell duty. No matter what their futures might involve, they will retain the importance of using the present to enhance the future. “I’ve learned I love helping people, too, and that it’s important to make connections,” Ferthio, a future biology major at Drexel University, said. “It’s very important to bounce ideas off people and work for the advantage of as many people as possible,” West Chester Universitybound nursing major Jackson added. Set to head to Temple University for nursing and photography, respectively, Busillo and D’Alonzo aim to extend their altruism, too. “I’ve have to get used to making connections because I’m often shy,” Busillo said. “This should benefit me later, then.” “This could help me to figure out what I might want to pursue as another college course of study or vocation,” D’Alonzo added. “It’s amazing that something as easy as giving your time can teach you so much.” SPR

COURT REPORT continued from page 7

with an undisclosed cost. “That will come through job creation and opportunities to enhance health and wellness.” With desired assistance from Wyomissing’s Customers Bank, Miller’s company, which is overseeing Penn National Gaming Inc.’s plan to obtain a Category 2 slot machine licence to operate Hollywood Casino Philadelphia at 700 Packer Ave., is making the venture its second area project following interaction with the Tasty Baking Co.’s former North Philly facility. It has coupled with Lamm to own the Grays Ferry territory since 2007 and had desired an earlier implementation. “Like many others, we had economic setbacks to surmount,” Al Williams, Lamm director of government affairs and community liaison, said. “However, we’re full steam ahead now.”

100 hours of community service and pay the Fairmount Park Conservancy, which oversees FDR Park, $50 a month until he reaches $10,000, Assistant District Attorney Nicole Pedicino said. Beattie allegedly set fire to the playground, called 911 and served as a witness when investigators arrived at the scene June 17, 2012, but soon was pinned for the crime, police said. He pled guilty to arson and conspiracy Jan. 30, according to court records.

A DIVISION OF North Carolina’s Food Lion LLC, Bottom Dollar opened its first Philadelphia store in April ’11, furthering its parent organization’s desire to offer discounted, nutritionally-sound options. Rite Aid has long enjoyed a local presence, including its location at 3000-02 Reed St. The mall endeavor will call for that store’s closure and for sections of Oakford Street to become available for the free-standing buildings and parking. Once erected, the structures will total 32,500 square feet and will have generated at least 100 construction jobs. Second District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson has initiated talks with Lamm personnel to see that training sessions place Grays Ferry and Point Breeze inhabitants in a favorable position for the other vocations. “Today is a celebration,” Johnson said. “This vision of hope really picked up last year, with the overall idea being not to let this site continue to be a barren land. I’m excited about seeing our residents obtain gainful employment.” Gerald Johns, a legislative aide to 186th District state Rep. Jordan Harris, whose assisted neighborhoods include Grays Ferry, agreed with his colleague. “For some time, it seemed as if certain parts of this community would become a food desert,” he said, noting Bottom Dollar stands to present an alternative to less than stellar meals and snacks. “We have huge support from established developers, and we’ll hold them to their promises to set these buildings and future spots up for success.” Having waited at least 30 years for something to replace Koo’s Trading, the most recent lot occupant, McCann had heard last decade that a bank might appear there and also had learned of talks of mixed development use. With formally-dressed individu-

als breaking ground on the undertaking, which should result in Bottom Dollar’s opening by Thanksgiving and Rite Aid’s shortly after, he no longer needs to worry that powerful people have forgotten about his domain. “We have Pathmark in the shopping center,” he said of a standout element of the Trevose-headquartered Korman Commercial Properties’ 83,505-square-foot realm, “so we’re not destitute, but this will give people more of a choice and should attract other amenities.” Williams divulged the committed tenants could quickly come to welcome a health center and a veterans’ housing facility. No matter who will situate a concept along the traffic-heavy thoroughfare, the chief players and their peers are counting on each addition as a plus for Grays Ferry and the corridor. Representatives from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia held a May 8 community meeting at Center City’s Philadelphia School to update their Schuylkill Avenue expansion project, revealing they intend to construct a clinical research and operations facility on a nine-acre stretch below the South Street Bridge. “I attended and think the idea is awesome,” Theresa Vinson, of the 2700 block of Dickinson Street, said of the four-phase brainchild, the first component of which will see a 26-story, 500,000-square-foot building with 600 parking spaces concluded by ’17. “I’m actually more enthused about the other ideas, though.” The Grays Ferry dweller learned the overseers want to extend the Schuylkill River Trail, whose boundaries do not include South Philly destinations, to Chris-

tian Street and to link it with the Grays Ferry Crescent, Schuylkill Avenue and Wharton Street. An avid bicyclist, she will welcome each trail trek with gratitude for what can come from committed investors in communal growth. “South Philly is definitely becoming a huge contributor to the city’s overall image, so I’m glad these developers are going to get started on so many ambitious projects,” Vinson said. The Virginia native also reveres the presence of South of South’s Toll Brothers Naval Square residential community, 2420 Grays Ferry Ave., which Johnson likewise acknowledged as another key contributor to the corridor’s reputation as a viable commercial and communal location. “Even during my early days as a state representative, I’ve wanted this area to be seen as something worth investing in and therefore caring about,” the Point Breeze native said of his most recent role as Harris’ Harrisburg predecessor. “I’m confident we’re going to see tons of good things coming from these partnerships and the unions they’re going to create.” The politician then joined the groundbreaking, with participants lifting and flicking patches of dirt before sharing suggestions on what else could inhabit the land. “I’m going to use each store,” Vinson said. “I love that something useful is going to be a few blocks from me. I could play a cynic and say ‘It’s about time,’ but I’m going to be appreciative and wish for everything to go well.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

An argument that led a Southwest Philly man to shoot a man within a block of his Newbold/Point Breeze home will spend decades behind bars. Brandon Sylvester Johns, 24, pled guilty to third-degree murder, possession of an instrument of crime and three counts of recklessly endangering another person, so Court of Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner sentenced him to 25 to 50 years in prison May 22. Sylvester gunned down Ronald Barrett, 58, of the 1400 block of Ellsworth after a verbal altercation on the 1100 block of South 15th Street at 10 a.m. Aug. 1, 2012. Barrett died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania that night due to numerous wounds to his stomach back and leg.

Burglar behind bars

A Point Breeze man will serve up to six years in prison for a burglary spree that affected 11 South Philly homes. Sheldon Moss, 28, of the 1900 block of Tasker Street, pled guilty to eight counts of burglary, three counts of attempted burglary and one count of conspiracy of burglary. Although Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Kotchian asked for six to 12 years in prison, Court of Common Pleas Judge Donna Woelpper gave him three to six years behind bars plus eight years on probation and ordered him to pay more than $20,000 in restitution May 13. “I asked for a lengthier sentence but I think the judge took into consideration the fact that he’s young and the motive for his crimes seemed to be a drug addiction,” Kotchian said. Of the 11 crimes that happened overnight June 7 to Aug. 19, 2012, six, including his three attempted break-ins, occurred in Pennsport; two took place in Passyunk Square; and one happened in Bella Vista, Grays Ferry and South of South.

A Bella Vista resident is furthering his affinity for fairness as a member of a City agency.

■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

E

arning his living as a landlord, Greg Pastore increasingly appreciates Philadelphians’ wishes for fairness when approaching authority figures on residential matters, especially those of his neighboring Bella Vista tenants. Through membership on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, the 46-year-old has strengthened that awareness since November and is implementing guidelines he and peers established in helping to write the City’s first new zoning code in more than five decades. “I do take pride in having been involved in its composition and now its execution,” Pastore said last week from his home on the 600 block of Pemberton Street. “I feel like when I’m at our [Center City] headquarters that I’m always thinking about other people and seeing that they are heard and respected.” A self-professed “process guy,” he P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

LIFESTYLES sates his demand for equality along with four fellow advocates who gather Tuesdays and Wednesdays to handle use and dimension variance requests and special exception cases. With the first regulatory overhaul since 1960 having taken effect Aug. 22, he is immersing himself in its proper enforcement yet has not become an inflexible wonk. “I’m just thrilled it’s come to fruition because I know how hard many people worked on it and how many stakeholders there are,” Pastore, whose former role as Zoning Board Commissioner aligned him with the document’s 30 other scribes, said. “So far, I’ve noticed a drop in our cases and a dwindling in the list of refusals, which means people have probably gained a better sense of what they can and can’t do.” Having logged 14 years as a presence on the Bella Vista Town Watch, including a stint as its president, he had felt he would appear on the short list of candidates to fill the City entity’s void created by the Aug. 14 death of Queen Village’s Jeffrey Rush. Shortly after the passing of his acquaintance, who had served on the board since February 2011, Pastore received outreach from Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger’s

office to see if he would consider joining. “I told them, ‘Sure, I’ll do it,’” he said of his autumn appointment. “There are only so many people who have the wherewithal, the time and the flexibility in their lifestyle to join, and I’m one of them. I had thought all along if someone were to offer me a spot that it would be interesting to help to shape our neighborhoods, and nothing has proven me wrong.” With the Office of Property Assessment having determined Philadelphia properties’ worth through the Actual Value Initiative, effective tax year ’14, Pastore knows residential life could become quite thorny for many dwellers, especially those who feel the City is using their decisions to upgrade their abodes against them. “AVI, zoning and other concepts prove we have to stay mindful of what’s going on around us, and what people should understand is that the ZBA is about simply figuring out what do to when you need relief,” he said. “When we all become aware of the workings of this municipality, that lowers the temperature for everyone.” THOUGH HE FINDS himself entrenched in community upkeep, Pastore had not in-

tended to be a civic crusader, even with a social anthropology degree from Harvard University. An Abington native, he also spent time in Cheltenham, Old City and another section of Bella Vista before finding his current home 15 years ago. “Harvard was just another place to go to school and not an influence on becoming involved in civic matters,” Pastore said. “However, the perceptions I picked up from interacting with different people made me more inquisitive about communities.” Residing at East Passyunk Avenue and Christian Street, he maintained his neighborhood through cleanups and, after becoming a homeowner, teamed with brother Chris to buy properties. Combining his tidying background and burgeoning real estate career, Pastore joined the town watch and soon learned how passionately the approximately 7,000 Bella Vistans from Sixth to 11th streets and Washington Avenue to South Street look to uphold local pride. “I held meetings on many cases and presented hundreds of them before the Zoning Board of Adjustment and naturally learned how eager people are to address what is and isn’t working,” he said of his Bella Vista board involvement, which he ended

last month after constantly needing to recuse himself in Bella Vista-related zoning board matters. “I see my new task as an extension of that and as a way to help people to manage their time in deciding what, for example, should merit a variance.” Pastore, whose representation of his turf to the zoning board resulted in dozens of rowhome expansions, the creation of numerous attached homes and the development of commercial spaces and condominiums, also enhanced his knowledge of the relationship between the City and occupants through last decade’s turn as a SEPTA Citizen Advisory Committee member. He holds that continued examination of and appreciation for the new code should yield approvals that up the aesthetic, commercial and communal aspects of the city and in particular South Philly. “I love traveling, especially around this neighborhood, and I’m interested in fairness,” he said. “Landlord, ZBA member, whatever, I champion that and hope to have these new rules come across as reasonable supporters of that, too.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Good news

F

olks always complain that the media doesn’t report any good news. It reminds me of Gabriel Heatter, a commentator who used to begin each broadcast with “Ah, there’s good news tonight.” In the interest of public service, your columnist is providing you with a column that is filled with good news, and as the song says, “Where seldom is heard a discouraging word.” The budget deficit is going down, according to the latest estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. For Republicans, this is like Chicken Little finding out that the sky is not really falling. Not only that, the ratio of debt to gross domestic product is expected to remain stable for the next 10 years. Social Security is not going bankrupt. According to the Social Security and Medicare trustees, the eventual shortfall is a lot smaller than we’ve been led to believe, and the system can be tweaked rather than attacked with an axe. That same report also indicates that projected increases are not so dire. Health-care costs are flattening out. Remember when we were told that when Obamacare takes effect in January 2014, the system would break the budget? Well in California, which has enacted the health care exchanges mandated in the national law, medical insurance premiums went down. It turns out Medicare benefits don’t have to be reduced, if we can reduce the administrative costs of our private health care system that are outrageously high and/or raise taxes. We presently have one of the lowest tax rates of any civilized country in the western world. U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachman will retire at the end of her term. Does anything else really have to be added? Maine has passed a law that requires a search warrant in all but exceptional cases before authorities can track a cell phone as the government is doing now. It is the first such law of its kind and a blow struck for personal privacy in a world where there is precious little of it left. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s president, will be leaving office about the time you read this column. Ahmadinejad is, among other things, a Holocaust denier. He is leaving the presidency with his popularity rating at about the same level among the Iranian people as dysentery. There is no denying that someone even worse may replace him, but this is supposed to be a

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m

good news column. The Jersey Shore is back in business. It’s good for the economy and good for the devotees of all the Shore points. There also is more good news, perhaps on the way from Wildwood where residents are being asked to vote on an ordinance that would prohibit sagging pants and inappropriate dress on the boardwalk. Critics say that there is no way to enforce such a dress code. I beg to differ. In the mid-1960s, a policeman stopped me while I was strolling on the Wildwood boardwalk with my shirt hanging out of my pants. I put my shirt back in my pants. If they could enforce a dress code back then, they can enforce one now. It’s not too much to ask someone to cover his or her butt. I applaud Wildwood’s effort. No cracks please. According to AAA, gas prices are actually going down. This is, as everyone knows, not permanent good news, but let’s take good news where we can. The toilet paper shortage is over in Venezuela. Even if you don’t live in Venezuela and are reading this column online, you never know when you might visit that country and have an emergency. There’s also the matter of human compassion. I can think of few things worse than running out of toilet paper. Countries have gone to war over lesser issues. Grand Central Station is 100 years old (and the restrooms haven’t been cleaned for the last 50, but remember, this is a good news column). An Oxford University study suggests poverty is shrinking (or maybe poor folks are just getting shorter?). Owning a dog can make you healthier (it’s all that exercise you get bending over and picking up the mess). My dear Phillies fan, you are unhappy about Cole Hamels, I give you Cliff Lee. You’re wearing a frown because of Ryan Howard; think of Domonic Brown. A new electric car charging network will allow cross country road trips by 2014. We’ve managed to stay out of Syria. So far. Now that summer vacation is arriving for American students, chances are we’ll once again hear the refrain that our kids don’t spend nearly enough time in school as in most European and Asian countries. Actually that’s not true, according to the New York Times. The myth got perpetuated because kids in different countries are on different schedules. When you combine the number of days spent in the classroom and the hours in a day devoted to actual instruction, American kids spend as much time – 900 hours – in the classroom as kids in China and other western countries. A woman went topless in Rittenhouse Square for the cause of women’s rights. Viva la women’s rights. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Mac (Clive Owen), left, a member of MI5, Britain’s intelligence agency, provides Collette (Andrea Riseborough) with a difficult choice.

Thrilling thriller ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

P

resumably helped along by “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’s” revival of the shady spy genre (let’s call it the art house’s answer to Bond and Bourne), “Shadow Dancer” is a supremely well-made European espionage thriller, focusing on the IRA and the later years of the Troubles in 1990s Belfast. After a botched subway bombing attempt in London (a scene that makes for a riveting opener), Collette (Andrea Riseborough) gets nabbed by the police and presented with a wrenching choice: Become an informant for MI5 and betray her own family, or spend 25 years in prison and be stripped of everything, including her young son. What follows is a slowly-burning, largely bloodless action-drama, filled with unforeseeable power shifts and ever-uncertain double-crosses. Handling Colette’s case is sympathetic agent Mac (Clive Owen), who observes the woman’s struggle and lets his emotions seep into the job. That causes friction with Mac’s hard-nosed superior Kate (Gillian Anderson), another character who may not be exactly who she seems. Directed by James Marsh, a gifted artist in multiple formats (he helmed 2008’s masterful documentary “Man on Wire”), “Shadow Dancer” is filmed with a wondrous atmospheric haze, and plays out in a tantalizingly taught, economical manner. The movie’s uncertainties are indeed a reflection of the uncertain times it’s depicting, and its highly unpredictable ending may just be the least of its virtues, which is saying a lot. Finally playing an English agent after so much prior hubbub (he was Pierce Brosnan’s rumored 007 successor before Daniel Craig stepped in), Owen proves he’s still uncannily skilled at expressing burn-

ing emotion through a face of smoldering stoicism. And he’s nevertheless upstaged by his costar, Riseborough, whose turn as the silently, enigmatically tortured Collette is primed to be one of the year’s best female performances. Introduced to U.S. audiences through her title role in “W.E.,” this richly talented British breakout channels Maria Falconetti in her emotive face, sculpting a compelling mystery of acting that begs to be seen again. She’s the personification of this gem of a summer alternative: Reserved, alluring and unexpectedly great.

R Available Tuesday

A breathtaking thriller from Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook (“Oldboy”), “Stoker” tells of a strange family with a great wealth of dangerous secrets, including what happened to the father of India (Mia Wasikowska), why her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode) is suddenly in her life, and what his relation is to her mother (Nicole Kidman). There’s little of moral value to take away from this tale blood ties, but it’s one of 2013’s most beautifully constructed films.

Theresa’s Vegetarian Chili

V

egetarian Chili gained its popularity during the 1960s and ’70s when vegetarianism was on the rise. The healthier-way-to-eat mentality remains intact with many consumers bypassing the meat and poultry options. Theresa Maiellano’s version blends together vegetables and spices for a flavorful creation that can be savored at any time. The resident of the 1500 block of Forrestal Street is aware that the hamburger and cheesesteak lovers may be doing an unplanned fast-food run, but it will leave that much more for the keeping-it-healthy crowd to enjoy. SPR

INGREDIENTS:

hank’s Original at Pier 40, 901 S. Columbus Blvd., is holding a Cheesesteaks for Prostates event Saturday with the proceeds from the day being donated to the Philadelphia Prostate Cancer Foundation. All cheesesteaks, which are normally $8.25, will be sold for $5. The Queens Village eatery is making it a cheesesteak-only day with either whiz or American cheese. Condiments and toppings also will be available at the self-service bar. For more information, call 215-2184000 or visit shanksoriginal.com. SPR

In a large saucepan, cook the garlic and onion in the oil over medium heat for a few minutes then add the tomatoes, carrots and bell peppers. Add the beans, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Add the sour cream and cheese, if desired. Lower the temperature and simmer for approximately 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

few bites but could not eat it. Two small side dishes came with the platter. One was a mix of cold mashed carrots and sweet potatoes. The other consisted of raw red pepper slices and carrots topped with olive oil. Edward received a 4-ounce, slightly overcooked salmon filet set on couscous with cooked carrots and red bell peppers. Adding salt and pepper did little for the fish and vegetables. We shared chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream ($7) that turned out to be a dark chocolate cupcake with not-at-all-sweet chocolate icing and two small scoops of ice cream topped with chocolate sauce. = Very Good

ast week, my friend Howie told me he enjoys reading the South Philly Review over coffee at La.Va Café. He is a fine theater critic and was my favorite editor when I covered ballet and dance for the Philadelphia Inquirer. However, La.Va is more than a coffee shop. It offers BYOB dinner and serves as a gathering place for its neighbors. It’s a marvelously funky space with exposed brick walls, crystal chandeliers, ceiling fans, tie-back drapes that may have been confiscated from Grandma’s parlor, a large Victorian sofa set near a window and colorful artwork painted by local artists. In short, this was no Starbucks. The owner is from Israel, so I was not surprised to see a Mediterranean-inspired menu with a touch of Morocco. Edward and I took a roomy glass-topped table next to a window. Our server opened our Malbac and brought us wine glasses. A number of small appetizers I enjoyed in Israel were on offer along with entrées. We began with homemade hummus ($6), a glorious rendition of that tasty spread that has become a restaurant staple. The chickpeas were pureed to perfection along with the right dousing of fresh lemon juice and olive oil. We each received a small bowl filled with warm pita triangles. We chose among the “mazot” offerings ($2 each), which I liked since we could build our own appetizer of grape leaves, mushroom salad and baba ghanoush. Stuffed grape leaves are served throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. Four plump, little bundles were filled with

seasoned rice, topped with olive oil and served cool. I should have asked about the mushroom salad. I assumed it would consist of mushrooms dressed in olive oil and lemon juice. It was a mix of chopped, hard-cooked eggs and sliced mushrooms tossed with mayonnaise. It was underseasoned and needed some salt. I make chopped eggplant all the time but never add tahini, which is a thin paste made from ground sesame seeds. This version of baba ghanoush was light and luscious, the addition of tahini imparted a nutty flavor. I have never seen burekas on a Philly menu, but I enjoyed these savory pies in Israel. They are fashioned from flaky phyllo dough formed into a round shape and stuffed with anything from ground lamb, beef, mushrooms or vegetables. Vegetarians will enjoy this version ($7) since it was filled with mashed potatoes and topped with mushroom sauce. Although the pie was tasty, I found the mushroom sauce made the pastry soggy. Unfortunately for us, the entrées fell desperately short in eye appeal, flavor and texture. I chose the traditional couscous ($18) while Edward decided on the Moroccan-style braised spicy salmon ($14). My dinner consisted of a boney chicken leg set atop a mound of couscous, along with big chunks of sweet and Yukon gold potatoes, a large dark vegetable that turned out to be a mushroom and a piece of what I thought could be eggplant but Edward claimed was zucchini. This tagine should have been vibrant with spices and fragrant herbs. I took a

hile his backstory could pass for that of someone from South Philly, Jeff Burke, the chef for McFadden’s Ballpark, 1 Citizens Bank Way, hadn’t cooked in Philly until he landed his current gig six years ago. Growing up outside of Scranton, he learned his passion from his mother, who spent a lot of time in the kitchen preparing family meals. “Every Sunday, my whole family got together for Sunday dinner, and you ate everything under the sun,” he said. “I didn’t know it would turn into a career, but in a strange way, it worked out, and I enjoy doing it.” Initially he went to school for business, but switched gears graduating from Keystone College’s culinary arts program and securing his first chef position at Skytop Lodge, a Pocono Mountain resort, before heading to The Mansion on Main Street in Voor-

hees, N.J. While other versions may exist that include an Irish stout, Burke’s Guinness Shepard’s Pie is unique to McFadden’s and has been a popular choice since its addition to the menu a few years ago. “We kind of incorporated Guinness into it, which gives a nice flavor with the beef stock, meat and the cheese,” the Pine Hill, N.J. resident said. “People seem to enjoy it.”

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the ground beef with the salt and pepper and brown until cooked in a large pot. Strain the fat from the cooked meat. Add the oil, carrots, onions and garlic to another pan. Sauté for several minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. Add the cooked meat and Guinness to the vegetables. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces by more than half. Then add the gravy and peas. Adjust the sea-

soning if needed. Peel the skin from the potatoes and boil the potatoes until they are soft enough for mashing. In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes and mix with the milk, butter, salt, pepper and scallions. Place the meat mixture in a shallow dish and then add a layer of the potatoes. Top with the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve with your choice of warm bread and butter. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

on his 8th grade graduation! Honors, Honors & more Honors! I am so proud of you, Mommy! You are truly brilliant & can be whatever you choose to do in life. Your dreams are my dreams & I will be there every step of the way! You are such a fortunate boy to have anything you want right in the palms of your hands. Do not take it for granted Bobby. But make sure you grab it and don’t let go! Dreams only come true if “you” make them happen! These past couple of months were not easy for you but you handled it like the perfect son I knew you were & I thank you so much! I couldn’t have did it without you!

Shaheed Rose Dec. 28, 1966 - Dec. 31, 1988

To mourn too long those we love is self indulgent. But to honor their memory with a promise to live life a little better, gives purpose to their life and some reason for their death.

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away., although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best. You will live in our hearts now and forever.

Caribbean King A Grays Ferry resident helped his Pennsport-based baseball team to a successful season.

PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php

■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

H

ailing from the Dominican Republic, an essential factory for producing stellar baseball players, Agustin Gil has desired diamond distinction since he took up the sport a decade ago. The 18-year-old senior at Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., this year received a hint of what his future might hold, as he claimed the Public League’s Division C MVP honor and similar kudos at a recent All-Star Game. “When I came to Furness, I thought I could be a good contributor, so I’m very happy with my results and what the team did,” the resident of 28th Street and Snyder Avenue said Monday at his Pennsport school. “To have a great season in my only year here makes me feel fortunate and proud of my hard work.” The powerful pitcher helped his institution, which lately has gained athletic renown through its football program, to amass a 9-2 divisional mark, good for a third-place finish and a playoff berth. His dynamic right arm registered five of the Falcons’ regular-season triumphs and May 10’s 17-2 destruction of the Bartram Braves in a postseason preliminary affair. The tenacious teenager also displayed his hitting prowess in the blowout by smacking a double, a triple and a home run, just as he had done in May 7’s 19-4 regular season finale massacre of the Engineering and Science Engineers. “I enjoy them both,” Gil said of his mound and plate duties. “I love hitting and pitching has become another passion I want to improve.” The Grays Ferry dweller began to smoke fastballs at 8, using as motivation his family’s support, especially that of his two brothers, and his island nation’s history of being a pipeline for Major League Baseball. Handling left field and third base, he honed his defensive skills, too, yet came to rely on others’ gloves upon his 2008 arrival in the United States. “My family just came here for a better life, more opportunities,” Gil, who finished his elementary education at Universal Vare Charter Middle School, 2100 S. 24th St., before starting his secondary career at Edward Bok Technical High

Agustin Gil hopes to he can continue to rely on his physical and mental preparation to thwart hitters on the college and professional levels. P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

h l 1901 S. S Ninth Ni th St., St said. id “I wanted t d School, to do well, too.” His superiors soon saw him as a potential pitching phenom, and the adolescent acquiesced, feeling he could prove more imposing with extra tools and talents. After one season with Bok’s squad, he returned to the Dominican Republic for two years for even more immersion in learning how to frustrate hitters. “When I went back, I really wanted to excel and build my strengths and mental toughness,” Gil, who spent his mornings practicing and afternoons attending school, said. “My thinking was I could be very good if I continue to dedicate myself because baseball is not easy; it takes a lot to be a good player.” EXCITED TO UP his stock, the teenager two years ago anticipated his land’s allegiance to July 2, the date upon which 16-yearold ballplayers, or Peloteros, become eligible to ink professional contracts. He experienced a setback due to a left leg

injury and needed the rest of the year to regain his health and velocity. Devoting last summer to even more intense training, he figured his trek back to America could provide added exposure, yet he never humbled his humility. “With baseball, you never know what will happen, but I thought Furness would be a good fit for me,” Gil said, adding that having two cousins at the school, including sophomore shortstop Jose Perez, helped to make the transition a smooth one. In his April 2 debut, the ace fanned 10 Mariana Bracetti Bulldogs in a 12-6 win. One of seven senior contributors, he consistently mentored the younger players by reminding them how appreciative they should be of their opportunities. “We were a great group, and I received so much support and gave it to them, too, because we wanted to be a complete team,” Gil said. His feats led to his designation as a First Team Division C All-Public performer and the 12-team group’s MVP. “There are a lot of kids in that division, maybe 150, so to win MVP really made me proud,” Gil said. His squad’s season ended with May

13’s 9-2 Class AAAA quarterfinal defeat to the George Washington Eagles, but his year continued Friday with the Division C/D All-Star Game at Richie Ashburn Field, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue. He punched out six hitters in two innings and delivered a two-run triple in C’s 3-0 victory, taking home another MVP honor. “It’s been great for me to feel confident and get any sort of recognition,” Gil, who will participate in Tuesday’s 28th annual Carpenter Cup Classic at the same venue, said. “I’ve loved my time representing Furness.” Once he leaves the 99-year-old facility, he will continue to mature through summer involvement with a North Philly team and could end up attending the University of Oklahoma for either automotive studies or criminal justice. He has a desire to become a Pennsylvania state officer yet hopes a career on the diamond can delay that vocation. “Playing in the majors is my first goal,” Gil said. “Because of this year and my interest in growing, it can happen.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Paid Advertorial

Now is a good time to address your roof after this tough winter season. Ice & snow freezing and melting opens flashings, lifts seams, drain box seals open, and even high winds can cause capping to blow loose!

So how do you find a qualified roofing company? The Better Business Bureau and other websites post reviews online, and in Pa all home improvement contractors must have an Attorney General’s license. It’s blue and should be readily available to be shown to you and it means your contractor is fully licensed & insured, and must follow the roofing industry standards set by the state. Another way is to see how long the company has been in business, is it local, family owned, has a neighbor used them successfully, do they have a web site, have they won any awards, helped out in the community, are they working on a regular basis in the area? Following these guidelines will help in the search for an honest and qualified roofer!
