our years ago, 119 students entered the building at 1100 Catharine St., where they were the leaders from day one even as freshman. “I remember students that had eyes wide open, that weren’t really sure about coming into a building that they were the only students here,” The Academy at Palumbo Principal Dr. Adrienne Wallace Chew said on the school’s 2006-’07 inaugural school year. “There was a lot of apprehension and maybe a little bit of fear, but also there was some excitement.” See GRADUATION DAY page 12

A mix of frowns and smiles was unavoidable Friday, as Stella Maris School closed after 56 years of providing Catholic education to thousands of fortunate youngsters. p h o t o b y n ata l i e k e l l e m

sign displaying “Thanks for the Memories” adorned the school yard at 814 Bigler St., as gold and blue balloons seemed to sway in time with the children’s voices as they sang the school song. After 56 years of educating thousands of South Philadelphia’s children, Stella Maris School disbanded its final flock

Friday. A simultaneously somber and grateful gathering of students, teachers and parents honored the school’s legacy with songs and prayers in the school yard before parting to face the reality of a subdued summer. Filing through halls bearing “Jesus Loves You” signs, the students, many of whom will go to either St. Monica, 1720 Ritner St., or Epiphany of Our Lord, 1248 Jackson St., eagerly shared affection. Diane Toto’s third-graders staged a

group hug before greeting the sunshine. “Bye, Stella Maris. We’re going to miss you,” they said in unison. Principal Sister Lawrence Elizabeth of the Sisters of St. Joseph led the brief tribute with a concluding prayer for the children and their second home. “This is a time filled with graces and challenges, with joys and sorrows,” the principal since 1991 said. “Bless us, O, See STELLA MARIS page 9

To the Editor: I live on a good block. Relatively clean with neighbors that watch out for each other. Safe. With the cooler spring weather, I’ve been sleeping on the couch with a fan near the front window to draw the fresher air in. Last night, I was awoken by my dog, who often barks when the Inquirer is dropped off around 5:30 a.m. or so. Her intensity increased dramatically and she stood on the couch with her front legs on the back of it, staring toward the front of the house. I yelled “Olive!, quiet!” and as I sat up, my front door squeaked open and I saw a person’s silhouette scrambling out the door. By the time I got there, he was rounding the corner at the end of the block. While waiting for the police to respond (nothing was taken), I pieced it together. The would-be thief took my neighbor’s empty recycling bin and turned it upside down in front of my open, but screened window. He made little cuts in the bottom corners of the screen to get his fingers through to release the catches. After raising the screen and window, he leaned in and moved the fan to the floor, then climbed over the plants on the radiator. At some point during this is when my “schnauzer shield” went off. I was lucky to have a neurotic doggie. I was lucky to be downstairs. I was lucky that nobody was hurt and nothing was taken. Keep your first-floor windows shut at night and when you’re not home. You might not be so lucky. Jay Scheuerle South Philadelphia

Valuing the arts To the Editor: Congratulations to all the talented students who participated in the June 3 School District’s South Region Arts Festival, (“Teeming with talent,” June 10). Joseph Myers’ article highlights the importance of the creative and performing arts in the lives of these children. What this article does not mention is that graphic art instruction is not universally available in the South Region. Acceptance to a high school like

CAPA is an achievement in itself, but only if the student can produce a portfolio of original work and demonstrate artistic ability at the interview. Thousands of students apply every year but less than 200 are admitted. Without an art teacher to prepare them, it is almost impossible for talented students to be admitted to any secondary arts programs. In a first-class city, all children should have equal access to art education. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia

What’s really on top To the Editor: The June 10 article “Meal Toppers,” may mislead consumers about high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is used in the food supply because of its many functional benefits. It is used in certain applications for sweetening, and in other applications it performs functions that have little to do with sweetening. For example, in ketchup it balances the variable tartness of tomatoes and keeps ingredients evenly dispersed. It also retains moisture in bran cereals, helps keep breakfast and energy bars moist, and enhances spice and fruit flavors in yogurts and marinades. Many foods only contain small amounts of high fructose corn syrup. For example, it would take 20 servings of spaghetti sauce or 50 servings of salad dressing to reach the Institute of Medicine’s recommended daily allowance of added sugars from high fructose corn syrup. According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), “high fructose corn syrup … is nutritionally equivalent to sucrose. Once absorbed into the blood stream, the two sweeteners are indistinguishable.” As many dietitians agree, all sugars should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced lifestyle. Consumers can read the latest research and learn more about high fructose corn syrup at www.SweetSurprise.com. Audrae Erickson President Corn Refiners Association Washington, D.C.

Natural beauties To the Editor: I am writing in response to Mr. Barnes letter “Allergic to green,” (June 10). I can commiserate with you regarding allergies because I have them too. However, I can’t understand your anti-green stance. Trees provide untold benefits to a neighborhood. A few are: Removing CO2 from the air, shading our homes from Philadelphia’s intense summer heat, raising our property values and providing beauty. Might I suggest you see an allergist, you don’t have to suffer. Norma Gottlieb South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at http://www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

hird Eye Blind never went away. It just seems that way. A six-year gap between albums is an eternity for a band, especially for one a dozen years between a hit. But that’s Third Eye Blind’s story. After releasing “Out in the Vein” in 2003, the group shuffled its lineup and toured on occasion but the act slipped out of its rhythm. “We just lost focus when it came to this group,” drummer Brad Hargreaves said. “We played together. We did our shows but we also worked on different projects. We all knew we would get back to Third Eye Blind. It was just a matter of time.” The group re-connected in ’08 to record

“Ursa Major.” The band, which also includes vocalist-guitarist Stephan Jenkins, bassist Abe Millett and guitarist Kryz Reid, went back to basics and is making pop-rock in the manner of its eponymous album, which included five catchy pieces of ear candy, which charted. The infectious “Semi-Charmed Life,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Graduate,” “How’s It Going To Be,” “Losing a Whole Year” and “Jumper” helped change the band’s fortunes dramatically. In just months, Third Eye Blind went from an unknown act playing clubs to an MTV favorite headlining large theaters. “It was an incredible time for the band,” Hargreaves said. “Everything just seemed to go our way.” Their next two albums 1999’s “Blue” and “Out in the Vein” weren’t nearly as successful. “Blue” moved away from the initial album’s cheery, catchy formula. The disc is a serious and somber work, which caught on with diehards ... SPR

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

A man received 63 sutures after he was stabbed numerous times as his train traveled toward Oregon Avenue. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

she told police. A neighbor soon knocked on the door to inform her there was smoke coming from the second floor, so she left and called her 42-year-old husband. Her husband and the neighbor attempted to extinguish the fire, which was coming from a mattress in the bedroom, Tolliver said. The husband then discovered the relative unconscious on the bathroom floor covered in blood with multiple puncture wounds to his chest, abdomen and neck. The fire department put out the blaze and ruled it an arson while the 22-year-old was transported by medic to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Tolliver said. After surgery, he was medicated and in pain, but was listed in stable condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit. When detectives interviewed him, he told them, “I stabbed myself” and in response to who lit the fire, he said, “I did it.” During the search of the home, detectives recovered a knife on the bedroom floor along with video surveillance of the exits and living room, Tolliver said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

olice were summoned to the Oregon platform on the Broad Street Line June 9 where they found a 46-yearold with multiple stab wounds. The man provided a description of the offenter to police at 1:20 p.m. and said he had been stabbed on the train for an unknown reason, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A medic unit transported him to Hahnemann Hospital in guarded condition, Tolliver said. Doctors performed exploratory laparoscopic surgery to his abdomen to discover possible internal injuries. He received 63 stitches including 25 to his abdomen, 15 to the right side of his forehead, three to his nose, three to the back of his shoulder, three to his left bicep, three to his right arm and one to his lower back. He also was admitted for further treatment. Police were notified at 2:28 p.m. that a man matching the description was being treated at Methodist Hospital for being punched in the left eye, Tolliver said. Sheldon Millington also known as Sheldon Mullings, 35, of Germantown, allegedly told police that he fought another man on the subway. Millington allegedly requested to use the bathroom while in the waiting area of the hospital. Police frisked him and found a pair of scissors in his front pants pocket, Tolliver said. Millington then is believed to have waived his rights and confessed to stabbing the 46-year-old. Millington was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and terroristic threats.

A man was gunned down in Girard Estate early Thursday. Rocco Maniscalco, 38, of the 1700 block of Wolf Street, was found laying on the street with multiple gunshot wounds at Wolf and Colorado streets at 1:04 a.m., Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. He was pronounced dead at the scene 17 minutes later. Police did not have a motive or any suspects as of press time. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3034.

Newbold businessman arrested

A 22-year-old man was unconscious on the second floor of his Bella Vista home while a fire, which was deemed an arson, was ignited on the same floor Saturday. A 29-year-old out-of-town woman was standing in a relative’s kitchen when she heard three loud noises upstairs at 4:50 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

A man and his friend sped off in his girlfriend’s car when bullets came their way in Point Breeze early Sunday. Without seeing who was firing, the 25year-old slouched down in the driver’s seat after being shot once in the left arm and drove out of his parking spot on the 1400 block of South 18th Street and to Jefferson Hospital at 2:14 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. His 20-year-old friend was in the passenger’s seat. The vehicle was located outside of the emergency room with a broken window and four bullet holes to the driver’s side, Tolliver said.

A man armed with a pistol fled a Passyunk Square bank after robbing it Friday morning. With a silver semi-automatic pistol in his right hand, a man demanded cash from the teller at TruMark Financial Credit Union, 1931 S. Broad St., at 9:35 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He said to the teller, “don’t say anything” and demanded money, Tolliver said. He fled southbound on foot on Broad with $911. He was described as black, age 35 to 40, 6 foot to 6-foot-3, 250 to 300 pounds and wearing a blue zipper hoody, gray shorts, a baseball cap, surgical mask, sunglasses and a latex glove on his right hand. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013 or the FBI at 215418-4000.

Being Moore constructive A community activist removed the first local makeshift memorial Monday and vows to initiate a citywide campaign this summer.

By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

ime may heal all wounds, but it lacks hands to remove reminders of tragedies. Where time fails, local activist Paul “Earthquake” Moore eagerly picks up the slack and anything else that blights communities already trying to recover from losses. Moore, a Southwest Philadelphia resident and a 12th Police District representative, has launched a personal crusade to rid Philadelphia of makeshift memorials. He began his South Philadelphia mission Monday, deconstructing a Pennsport memorial that had resided on the 1900 block of South Fifth Street for nearly three years. The appearance of makeshift memorials has become prevalent in Philadelphia, especially in Moore’s stomping grounds. They’re telltale signs of urban violence and tragedy. They usually honor murder victims, but also can pay tribute to those who succumbed in vehicular mishaps or from arson. The one Moore encountered Monday contained the usual components, namely signs, stuffed animals, candles and flowers. Their duration at the site, not their overall presence, irks him. “All these things are important parts of the grieving process, but enough is enough,” Moore, 52, said. “Thirty days is long enough to leave these up, not six months, a year or five years.” The project involved dismantling a memorial that has grown since an October 2007 arson that claimed a 60-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl. The area where the property once stood has devolved into a spot that has attempted to provide closure for some residents but has paradoxically become an indicator of a cultural disconnect. “These memorials are grim reminders of whatever occcured,” Moore, who last week removed two such memorials from Southwest Philadelphia, said. Before removing the wooden tombstone and a card bearing the words “To the best Mommy of all,” Moore offered a prayer. “The Bible says he will know you by your deeds,” Moore, referring to an Old Testament passage, said. Pondering the mentality of those who erect the memorials, he seemed sympathetic yet stern.

“I understand what these people are going through. The culture of each community encourages people to put these up. Communities that usually associate themselves with violence and death are more fond of these. The Junior Black Mafia is a good example,” he said while bagging a massive stuffed Rottweiler. That crime syndicate, a descendant of the Black Mafia that began in Philadelphia in 1968, has had local relations with the more traditional Italian mafia. “All mafia factions make people feel stuck, as if they cannot speak out. They all specialize in strange logic,” Moore said. HE HAS WITNESSED strange logic over the years, but he persists in his efforts, which have included staging motorcycle rides, free dinners and boot camps for troubled youth. Last month, he held a fundraiser during his 11th Annual Weekend of Peace, cementing his status as “The People’s Champion,” his well-earned nickname. Over the years, he has removed 30 memo-

rials. He acts on his own accord, with no inspiration or mandate coming from City officials. The motivation derives solely from his love for Philadelphia’s communities. Those neighborhoods have not always rallied to support Moore’s philosophies. Late last month on the 6200 block of Elmwood Avenue, he met backlash from Southwest Philadelphia residents who objected to his removing a memorial honoring a March suicide victim. “Kids see this stuff, and their memories become permanently affected. If we take these memorials down, we help to erase the memory of what happened. I see no flaw in doing that,” he said. Moore has known one victim who has received a makeshift memorial. He has also interacted with the families of many victims, including the family of those the Pennsport memorial had esteemed. He has revisited sites to gauge the acceptance of his actions. “I visited the Elmwood location the next day, and there were replacements items,”

Moore said with a shrug. “Most times, people are OK with what I do. Usually, they are like ‘Thank God that it’s gone.’” On his South Philadelphia trek, Moore encountered no opposition, as only two people, who asked for anonymity, stopped him. “I was just hoping you weren’t here to do anything to my home,” a bearded man said of a camper that occupies some of the space of the former residence before giving Moore a wave. Referring to the items before him and their counterparts across the city, Moore said, “This stuff just fades away.” As alternatives to the memorials, which he will continue to hunt for, Moore suggests that people try something with more emotional bite. “As I’ve said, these are good, but they become useless after awhile. People should try to incorporate something more useful.” For Moore, examples of useful testimonials include donations to the family of the departed and plaques to commemorate the fallen member or members. He presented a plaque to the mother of the suicide victim and will continue to do so at various locations, including the Pennsport site. “I welcome donations to help with the funding of these memorials, which help to replace the eyesores that these memorials become,” he said. Moore recently learned that the Black Holocaust Museum of Slavery in Port Richmond wishes to commend his work. Once he provides either an obituary or other information, it will place on its obituary wall the names of those whom the deconstructed memorials had recognized. “This is great news because to fix our communities, we need the involvement of police and the clergy, but we especially need community members,” he said. Over the summer, Moore plans to comb through significant chunks of the city to ensure that the dead receive the deepest reverence. “We have so many other ways to remember those who have gone before us. We just need to use them,” Moore said. SPR Those interested in contributing to Moore’s purchasing plaques may contact him at either earth_quake1@hotmail.com or 215-385-2696.

STELLA MARIS continued from page 1 Lord, according to your will. Let us grow in knowledge and grace all the days of our lives.” With those words, the students began to disperse and to reflect on their time at the institution, which has a tiny chance of a second life as the site of a regional school, though many other schools would need to acquiesce to make such a facility possible. “This is a great school,” Breanna Cuticchia, a sixth-grader from the 2500 block of South 11th Street, said. “I’m going to miss everybody.” Having known since April 9 that their school would not survive, all present bore a variety of expressions. Many looked stunned while others took solace in knowing they will continue to see their friends on playgrounds or in new schools with Epiphany, St. Monica and South Philadelphia’s youngest parish, Holy Spirit, 1845 Hartranft St., being the most popular choices for parents. Students enrolling at the first two will receive tuition subsidies from parishioners at Stella Maris. “It’s hard to say goodbye,” Haley Herron, the Marvine-and-Bigler-streets resident who will attend Epiphany as a seventh-

grader next year, said. “Even so, I will definitely be keeping in contact with people.” STELLA MARIS FORMED to accommodate the sizeable post-World War II population in South Philadelphia. Epiphany could not serve everyone, so Archbishop John O’Hara eased its burden by petitioning for the creation of a new parish. Stella Maris became that parish on February 11, ’54. Its name, Latin for “Star of the Sea,” honors Mary, the Blessed Mother. The parish entered the diocese during the 100th anniversary of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX. Because of that, O’Hara decreed that parishes originating from December ’53 through December ’54 would include one of Mary’s titles in their names. “It didn’t have to happen this way,” substitute teacher Lia Fusto said with a sentiment that matched the confusion many children voiced. Fusto, who also taught at Stella Maris for 12 years before a stint as principal at Annunciation B.V.M., 1148 Wharton St., noted that the building will remain untouched. “All the stuff is going to stay,” the resident of the 1300 block of Moore Street said, motioning to a stocked trophy case. continued on next page

Members of the third-grade class at Stella Maris School gathered for a group hug shortly before dismissal. P h o t o b y n ata l i e k e l l e m

“We will have CCD [Confraternity of Christian Doctrine] classes on Sunday, but the building will be eerie without more activity.” “It’s really sad, but I’ll still come to church here,” Michael Singley, a fifthgrader from the 2800 block of South 13th Street, added. Alumni gathered at the church, 10th and Bigler streets, for a Baccalaureate Mass for the final graduating class Sunday. The parish will welcome Rev. John R. DiOrio as its fourth pastor June 21, with DiMaria becoming the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Royersford, according to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Website. The celebration Friday, which brought the first through seventh grades together, as the pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and eighth grade classes had held their graduations earlier in the week, ended a turbulent few months for the school. As part of the second youngest parish in South Philadelphia, Stella Maris ended this year with 181 students. Their farewell stems from a lack of adequate funding and low enrollment. The school needed to have 175 students enrolled by March 30, the deadline from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. A February letter to parents from pas-

Coolest victory

he City will be throwing a block party for the residents of the 1200 block of Wolf Street at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. In May, these lucky denizens won the Coolest Block Contest, a competition to find the block most deserving of new cool roofs, which are energy efficient and will help Philadelphia to become the greenest city in America. The day will feature the application of the cool roof coating on one of the winning rowhomes, as well as appearances by Mayor Michael Nutter, winning block captain Teresa Jack and other community leaders.

Kitties in need

AWS and the Animal Care and Control Team are asking for kitten foster parents. With about 50 litters in need of rescue, litters are euthanized every day because of lack of space. Those who cannot foster an animal may still help by donating canned pate-style cat food at the PAWS’ Wellness Clinic, 2900 Grays Ferry Ave., between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

To help, contact Sue Durphy, PAWS’ foster care coordinator, at sue@phillypaws.org or visit PAWS’ Wellness Clinic.

Nutritious contributions

hilabundance is preparing for its “Share the Harvest 2010” program, which encourages those with home gardens to donate vegetables Saturdays between 10 a.m. and noon from July 17 to Sept. 25 at various locations around the Delaware Valley.

City initiative deemed ‘outstanding’

hiladelphia was one of five cities recognized with outstanding achievement for the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ City Livability Award. The honor recognized the city’s PhillyGoes2College initiative that offers guidance to residents who wish to pursue higher educaiton. To learn more about the program, visit www.PhilyGoes2College.com.

tor Rev. Peter J. DiMaria had revealed his recommendation for closure of the school, and the deadline arrived with only 69 students enrolled. Operating with that enrollment for 2010-2011 would have caused an $800,000 deficit and forced the parish into debt, according to an April release from the Archdiocese. Friendships, however, counted more than numbers Friday. “I am disappointed,” Jarod Rodio, a fifthgrader from the 1000 block of Oregon Avenue who will attend St. Monica, said. “I wish my brother (seventh-grader) Nicolai and I could have stayed to graduate.” Before the Friday gathering, the children received a medal of the Stella Maris image of the Blessed Mother. The image and those of Jesus Christ within the school serve as reminders of Matthew 28:20, “I am always with you, even to the end of time,” a passage that the principal, who has yet to receive a new assignment, quoted. “I am honored to have had the chance to educate South Philadelphia’s children,” she said. “I taught the parents of some of these children. I love the children. I love South Philly.” SPR

GRADUATION DAY continued from page 1 Four years later, those students are the class of 2010 and the first ever to graduate from The Academy at Palumbo, an academic magnet school. The ceremonies were held at Friday at The University of Pennsylvania’s Irvine Auditorium. “During the actual graduation when our class president spoke, she was in tears,” class valedictorian Chanel Tam said. “That affected most of us.” “It was a happy moment and then it was really sad for me,” Francess Samura, the class president, added. “Personally, I couldn’t keep it together. I was crying half out of my mind.” Samura, who will head to La Salle University to major in nursing this fall, and her peers paved the road for the future students and established significant traditions for the school including its mascot, the griffin, and its colors, silver, teal and black, for the incoming classes that were added year by year. “In general, Palumbo has given us so much to work with,” the Southwest Philly resident said. “Basically we watched this school turn into what it is now. As a whole class, we’ve been the ones to set the standards for everyone else. We’re more of a family than anything. We’re so close.” But the class exceeded expectations with a 100 percent graduation rate while each and every student has plans to further his or her education at a two- or four-year institution with acceptance letters from colleges and universities across the country including in-state at The University of Pennsylvania, Haverford and Penn State University. “This really is what I would call the highlight of my professional career — graduating this class — and I’m so proud,” the principal with 34 years of experience in education said. Samura chose Palumbo after she was waitlisted for Central High School, which sent her a letter advising her to apply to Palumbo as it was modeled after the Olney Avenue school. Tam, who chose the local institution over Central, was accepted to three of the four schools she applied. She asked her father his opinion and he suggested Central or Palumbo, preferring the latter for its size and proximity to their Chinatown home. And Tam has no regrets with her choice. “You’re not just one in a million. It’s small,” she said of the 494 student body, adding, “ah, memories” when she finished reflecting. And the memories of high school days these students will keep with them. At graduation, the school’s choir sang “For Good” from the musical “Wicked,” which represented everyone’s feelings, Wallace

Preschoolers from Discovery Place Preschool performed Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.” with American Sign Language at their graduation ceremony Friday. The class is the first to complete the Fitadelphia Kids Obesity Prevention and Obesity Recovery Program, which aims to educate them on having a healthier lifestyle.

Chew said. “‘Because I knew you I have been changed for good,’” she said quoting the lyrics, “and so have I because I knew them.” MORE GRADUATES PROCEEDED to the stage at the Mummers Museum, 1000 S. Second St., Friday morning. Decked in purple caps and gowns, these 28 youngsters aren’t headed to college just yet. Instead, they will begin elementary school next year. Preschoolers from Discovery Place Preschool, 2131 S. Seventh St., boasted their singing, dancing and spelling skills before receiving their diplomas. They even performed American Sign Language for Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.” and the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Got a Feeling.” But 19 of these youngsters are the first class to graduate from Fitadelphia Kids Obesity Prevention and Obesity Recovery Program — a pilot course that aims to teach the children healthy habits. Through the program the 4- and 5-year-olds learned 10 yoga poses through Yo! Stretch, about eight Pilates moves, three forms of dancing — salsa, merengue and reggaeton — through LaCardio as well as learning My Food Pyramid for Kids. “These kids couldn’t even touch their toes when I started with them, said Cindy Ortiz, Fitadelphia creator and director

of the Northeast Philly-based La Placita Wellness and Education Center. “They’d say, ‘oh, it hurts.’” Ortiz approached Butterflies teacher Alyssa McIntyre, who is also her yoga student, to implement the program at Discovery Place starting in September. “I had a lot of children that had a hard time focusing or I have one child in particular that had jerky movements,” McIntyre said adding the program relaxed the children enabling them to pay attention to lessons better. It even helped one student who was slightly overweight. Ortiz simply taught the child how to breathe from her abdomen. “She started to lose weight just by breathing correctly,” McIntyre said. Ortiz launched La Placita four years ago after taking a $25,000 loan out on her house to start the nonprofit, which began to spread its wings this year after First Lady Michelle Obama launched her task force on childhood obesity, which La Placita has contributed to. Discovery Place is the second pilot program Ortiz has done with the first being an eight-week program at Headstart, formerly at 13th and Jackson streets. “The program does work,” Ortiz said. “Then they go home and complain [to their parents], ‘why are you feeding me junk?’

because they come to school and say, ‘my parents are feeding me junk.’” The students at Discovery Place also discovered new foods. Each week Ortiz brought a food many of the children had never tried including dried kiwi, pistachios and almond milk. Some of the foods were even new to the students’ parents. Martina Nash’s 5-yearold daughter Kayla Williams introduced her to kiwi, which she had never tried before. Her favorite thing she learned from the program was the yoga pose the mountain, Kayla, who will be a first-grader at A.S. Jenks next year, said as she stretched her arms over her head demonstrating the pose. “[At home,] she’ll just be doing little, different exercises,” Nash, of Broad Street and Snyder Avenue, said. Kayla also ensures the family eats healthier, Nash said. “‘Mom, does this have a lot of calories? Does this have sugar?’ She’s skeptical of what she eats,” she said adding that on the flipside of most kids, Kayla has even requested to her to make vegetables more often. “It’s kind of awesome.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Amanda Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

ohn W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School senior twin sisters Guovanna and Sylvia Shoukri, of the 2300 block of South 24th Street, were chosen for Drexel University’s Liberty Scholars program in which they each receive a full tuition and fee scholarship for their matriculation. The program was designed to continue the connection of Drexel University to its Philadelphia communities. Although they plan to attend Drexel the twins also were offered scholarships to La Salle and Philadelphia universities, as well as University of the Sciences. At Hallahan, Guovanna, ranked third in the senior class and received an Alumnae Academic Scholarship while Sylvia ranked second and received the Connelly Achievement Award. The sisters also were active outside the classroom as members of Mathletes, Respect Life Club, National Honor Society, along with numerous other clubs. SPR

hile the average thirdgrader may not be worried about identifying herself as a leader, St. Monica School student Juliana Wharton prides herself on being an exception. It’s something teacher Alexis Ferraiolo has witnessed on a daily basis inside the halls at 1720 Ritner St. “I nominated Juliana Wharton because she is an excellent student that always puts forth her very best and goes above and beyond what is expected,” the third-grade teacher said. In particular, the 9-year-old demonstrates an aptitude in both reading and writing. “She is a very fluent reader and analyzes stories for key themes and elements,” Ferraiolo said. “Juliana has an exceptional imagination which enhances her writing skills.” The creative young student also has received her share of individual honors, including the Student of the Month award for the category of honesty,

Juliana Wharton Student of the Week, Critic’s Choice Award and the Four-Star Club for excellence in effort and behavior. Outside of school, the resident of the 2700 block of South Colorado Street exhibits a passion for dancing while attending class at All That Jazz.

“Her favorite class is gymnastics because she enjoys the mental and physical challenges of the sport,” Ferraiolo said. She also volunteers her time and effort to help clean St. Monica’s convent. Yet she attributes all her early success and commendable qualities to her mother and role model, Kim. Although it may be a tad too early for the college talk, Juliana is considering future studies in the field of speech pathology so she can help children. By always striving to go above and beyond what is expected, there is no limit as to what this third-grader can accomplish. “Juliana is inquisitive and proves that anything can be done if you put your mind to it,” Ferraiolo said. SPR Juliana Wharton will receive a $150 savings bond. If you are a teacher or full-time educator and would like to nominate a student (first through 12th grades), call 215-336-2500 ext. 123 or e-mail editor@southphillyreview.com.

After a year of full-time community service in Philadelphia, a 23-year-old Point Breeze resident took her philanthropy to the national level.

utting her education on hold, Denise Smith-Jaspers of 17th and Mifflin streets decided the best way to learn is to learn about you. “It’s called AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps. Basically you travel around and you do community service. It’s a 10-month commitment, so I started Oct. 15 and I’m done July 28,” she said. The 23-year-old Temple University student has spent the past nine months traveling to places like New Orleans, La. and Calabasas, Calif., to work with nonprofits and improve communities. “My favorite project so far I’d have to say was rebuilding homes in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina victims,” Smith-Jaspers said. “I never did construction; I learned how to put up drywall, I

learned insulation. They talked to us about how it was when they were there, and how it was when Hurricane Katrina came and how it affected them and their families and their neighbors. It’s not even a block anymore, it’s one or two things [that survived the storm].” Regrouping in Sacramento, Calif., last week at the headquarters, her team of nine volunteers was being briefed on its upcoming assignment. The next and last stop on the tour will be a community garden in Seattle. “We will be working with a community garden and implementing a program for kindergarten through 12th grades about community gardening,” Smith-Jaspers, who headed to The Evergreen State June 14, said. Working with the same people morning, noon and night could get a little sticky, but the group that hails from places like Illi-

Putting herself to the test

Lifestyles continued from previous page

BORN IN NEW York, the Smith-Jaspers family moved to Point Breeze when Denise was 8. Graduating from South Philly High School, 2101 S. Broad St., in 2005, Smith-Jaspers was always interested in helping others — especially those closest to her. “I went to Clark-Atlanta University in Atlanta, Ga., but I transferred home in ’07,” Smith-Jaspers said. “My mom was in surgery and I wanted to come back home. She is fine now.” Living in South Philly and making the 20-minute commute to Temple suited the budding educator just fine. But she felt there was more she could do. “I was thinking about a career in education,” Smith-Jaspers said. “The main goal is based around education — if I’d be able to handle working in the school district — and I love kids. “That was why I did City Year, also.” Smith-Jaspers entered the AmeriCorps City Year youth service corps, which

nois, Iowa, Minnesota, Russia via North Carolina, Massachusetts, New Jersey and, of course, Philadelphia, are getting along swimmingly. “[This work] is totally different because when I was home I worked 8 to 5, like a regular job. I’m traveling with people and I’m living with these people 24 hours a day in different places all over the world,” SmithJaspers said. “Every team goes through their up and down days. But everyone works really well with each other and especially when we work on a project, we are good at handling our own tasks and our jobs.” Deciding to apply to NCCP after a yearlong stint with AmeriCorps City Year in Philadelphia, Smith-Jaspers has taken the opportunity to soak in as much culture and exposure as she can get. “Yes, I’m very glad, I’m grateful, and if I can do it over I would. I met so many people it really put me out of my level. I was so into my ways, I opened up more and I came to do more things I never would have done if I was still in Philly,” she said. Firsts of the trip include Smith-Jaspers premier visit to the West Coast — of which she is a big fan, mostly because of the mild, warm weather — her first ski

outing and a chance to experience world events in living color. “It was different than being in Philly and watching it on the news and then going there and seeing that they still need help five years later,” Smith-Jaspers said of the emotional time she spent in New Orleans.

brings 17- to 24-year-olds from across the country into a year-long, full-time community service program mentoring children and leading out-of-school programs. “When I was doing City Year I had night classes at Temple,” she said. “It was tiring sometimes because I would have to work ’til 5 and then go to class at 8 on Wednesday and Thursday.” Though the schedule was demanding, it was not enough to deter Smith-Jaspers and actually served as inspiration for her next challenge. “I was in [City Year] and I made a profile and I signed up and I applied [for AmeriCorps NCCC] and they accepted me … I wanted to do it because I wanted to see stuff I never saw before, see what helping the people in disaster relief, like Hurricane Katrina, see what helping them feels like. And help them out the best way I can,” she said. Help people she has from the intimate dealings with homeless victims in New Orleans to the planting of trees in California with Tree People, an organization who works to beautify the landscape while raising awareness of environmental issues. The insightful Smith-Jaspers has found that while the places she travels are quite different than her hometown, some things are always the same.

“I think there are a couple of similarities. Anywhere you go there will be lowincome areas that will always need help and I think when I went to L.A., we were in Calabasas, you could see the wealthyness of the people, how different peoples’ living situations are. And then going to Venice Beach, and this is different, really different [from Philadelphia]. Upon her return home, she hopes to continue in the same vein of work. She has already submitted an application to volunteer at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as the medical field has always appealed to her. “I want to volunteer … and see what that’s about as that’s a new field for me, period. I’m always open to new challenges and ideas,” Smith-Jaspers, who was a nursing major before switching to public health, said. Smith-Jaspers is sure that in whatever career she pursues medicine, public service and working with people will all come in to play. And growing up the baby of four in Point Breeze will give her the edge she needs to succeed: “That’s where my toughness comes from, my growing up in Philly.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

ike “Frozen River” and “Wendy and Lucy” before it, writer/director Debra Granik’s “Winter’s Bone” is a contemporary, dirt-cheap American indie about a rural, dirt-poor female protagonist whose dire financial straits force her into sticky, sometimes devastating, situations. More than being timely, this extraordinary suspense drama, like its predecessors, is notable for its utter lack of frills or sentimentality. And yet, it’s able to fully convey both a world ingrained with gritty detail and a poignant moral about inseverable family ties. The lead star, 19-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, has soft, blonde-bombshell looks, but shows a fierce capacity for gruff, hard-asnails portrayals. She’s positively revelatory as Ree, a sharp-tongued, thick-skinned teen struggling to provide for her two younger siblings and mentally-ill mother deep in Missouri’s Ozark Mountains. When Ree’s methcooking father vanishes after putting up the family’s home as his bail bond, Ree must search him out by knocking on the backwoods doors of her shady, scary relatives — a tightknit rogues’ gallery best described as the Sopranos by way of “Deliverance.” The supporting players, many of whom hail from the film’s shot-on-location setting, are all terrific, embodying their characters to a point of unnerving realism. (The only face I recognized was that of John Hawkes, who excels as Ree’s volatile uncle.) The performances are but the tip of the film’s authenticity iceberg, as Granik, from the region-specific language to the dime-store duds, presents an unrefined realm whose only garnish is a drapery of dread.

Granik’s script, which she co-wrote with Anne Rosellini and adapted from the novel by Daniel Woodrell, is similarly grounded in the fundamentals of compelling storytelling. Extreme tension and fascination are expertly cultivated, as is Ree’s accelerated rise to womanhood. It is a screenplay worthy of serious Oscar consideration, and the film itself, which deservedly won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, is at this point the best American movie I’ve seen in 2010.

hey had a taste for night life. In the early 1950s, they called it “clubbing.” We went clubbing, they would say. They waited until their kids were old enough to baby-sit themselves before surrendering to the mystery of smoky juke joints in Center City and South Jersey. It was a time when people dressed up, liked dressing up. Philly didn’t have the swank and glamour of New York City, but neither was it the place W.C. Fields mocked. There was the Latin Casino on Juniper and Walnut, a few years away from moving across the bridge to Cherry Hill. The Click was nearby, and Mitchell’s Supper Club, as well as Big Bill Rodstein’s, where they once met a young Al Martino and gave him a lift home. Big Bill would later open his shrine to Frank Sinatra, called it the Sinatrama Room. Sometimes they even went to the burlesque shows at the Carmen Theater where naughty had not yet become dirty. Skinny D’Amato’s 500 Club down in Atlantic City reigned supreme, and the Black Orchid Room hosted Buddy Greco and a young comedian named Lenny Bruce. There was Miles Davis playing the Cotton Club, and at Club Harlem, you could catch Sam Cooke performing during the breakfast show. They liked to grab a club sandwich, sip a highball and listen to the music. One time, Pete had gotten up and sang “The Shadow Of Your Smile” with the Billy Frio Trio at the Venus Lounge. Eleanor was embarrassed. She liked getting all dolled up after spending the week doing housework, taking care of the kids and cooking the meals. He was a cop with one good suit, but it was Italian silk. He looked like a movie star when he wore it. There was nothing they liked more than strolling arm in arm on a Saturday night amidst the bright city lights. They never went out with other couples. All they needed was each other. With his petite lady on his arm (with her killer green eyes and blonde hair), the rest of the world could just disappear. It was an era when mobsters, cops and priests all grew up hanging on the same South Philly street corner. It was before drugs took over the streets and the Mob was content with the profits from gambling and prostitution. As a cop, he re-

spected Angelo Bruno for not giving in to the temptation of dealing street drugs. He always said only his wife kept him from going over to the dark side. One Saturday night he had even introduced his wife to Bruno in an Atlantic City nightclub. She pretended to be annoyed by the experience, but deep down she liked the excitement of that evening. They were conventional people by day, but both of them thrived on the adrenaline rush of the mystery and promise of the night. An opportunity came along for him to join the vice squad, but he turned it down. There were family conflicts. It would’ve meant that he had to arrest members of his own family, so instead, he chose to join the narcotics squad. He hated the pushers, but always had compassion for those hooked on “junk.” Many great musicians of that era were addicted to drugs. Heroin was the drug of choice. His biggest nightmare was being forced to arrest someone who could blow a sax. He became incensed one time when jazz great, Gerry Mulligan, claimed that the Philly cops had tried to shake him down. In the early ’60s, when I landed a gig on a local jazz station, he came by the studio to listen. “You play their music and I lock them up,” he lamented. Some of them survived; some like Chet Baker ended their lives ravaged by the needle. Eleanor and Pete rose above the mundane lives of their peers. They had no more money than anyone else, but they had a helluva lot more fun. All it took was Saturday night to transform them. They were this glamorous couple, bigger than life. I wanted to be like him. I wanted his courage to bust down the doors of drug dealers in the middle of the night. I wanted my own black Italian silk suit and a beautiful woman like her on my arm. I wanted to experience the unfathomable mystery of the big city after dark, to feel its exotic promise, to be part of the glitter of Saturday night. In later years, despite her illness, you could see still see them striding through the casinos of A.C., still a handsome couple, laughing at the a slot machine and grabbing a corned beef sandwich or a toasted cinnamon bun and a cup of coffee before heading home in his polished big black car. They showed me that even a life marred by illness can still have style; there is always time for the flashing lights, always a reason to get out that Italian silk suit and feel the beat of the heart of Saturday night.

inding the funds for an exotic vacation might not be a top priority, but nothing is stopping those taste buds from taking a foreign adventure without even leaving home. Anastacia Fahnestock offers a sampling of Europe with a Greek Style Shrimp and Pasta for two. The resident of the 1300 block of Mifflin Street highlights some of the ingredients commonly used in the island nation’s cuisine. The chef recommends serving the dish with a crusty bread and crisp salad. Be sure to relax while savoring the flavors with a close friend or loved one. SPR

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

have described my friend Alexander as an attorney with the soul of a poet. He is articulate, well-read, funny, never boring, speaks French with me and knows more about Japanese cuisine than anyone I know. I had not seen him in more than two months because the powers that be at his law firm have piled on the casework. Finally, we went to dinner at Muntin, a new Asian restaurant which has been like a revolving door. Chef Bruce Lim owned it for about five minutes before it closed and morphed into Muntin. Alexander brought sake and I brought a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Although we both prefer red wine, a fruity, grassy white marries well with Asian fare. There is a sushi bar and comfortable wood tables and chairs set with peach linen napkins. A man (I think he was the owner) welcomed us, opened our sake and wine and placed them in an ice bucket. Alexander and I prefer our sake cool. Unlike some Asian eateries, the menu is not big and mind-boggling. It focuses on several Asian cuisines with a strong emphasis on Japanese. Six pan-seared pork gyoza ($5) kicked off our meal. They were nicely seasoned and not a bit greasy. Crispy duck rolls ($6) hit the culinary jackpot. Four small rolls were filled with tender pork and fried to a crisp light golden brown. As were the dumplings, these beauties were free of grease. Although the former came with plum sauce, I preferred them straight.

Since we ordered the sushi and sashimi for two ($50), our server advised us that we had a choice of soup or salad. Since I do not care for miso soup, I ordered the salad. It was the run-of-the-mill version served in most Japanese restaurants, consisting of iceberg lettuce, grated carrots, cucumbers and topped in a thick ginger dressing. Alexander likes miso soup so he ordered it. The aforementioned sushi and sashimi for two consisted of eight pieces of sushi, 15 pieces of sashimi and a choice of two signature rolls. “I think we should order the wasabi roll and the dancing eel roll,” Alexander said. An image of eels wearing tutus and wriggling in the water immediately came into my mind. “People like rolls because of the presentation on the plate and how they appeal to the eye,” my friend said as he poured soy sauce into a small square ceramic dish. Both rolls had eye appeal. The Italians say first you eat with your eyes and I agree. The wasabi roll was topped with spicy salmon and filled with creamy avocado, some crunchy fish, which appeared to be tiny bits of caviar, and wasabi. I found the salmon lacked flavor. The dancing eel roll fared much better. It was delicious. The shrimp were dipped into tempura and quickly fried. It was topped with eel and avocado, which imparted a fine contrast of tastes and textures. Long, thin strands of cucumber

were included on the plate. I picked them up with my fingers and munched away. Unfortunately, the quality of the sushi and sashimi did not stand up to Zama’s, which Alexander and I agree is the finest in the city. Much of the fish was bland. Even the addition of ginger and wasabi did little for the lack of flavor. The octopus was chewy but the fluke flounder was tasty. White tuna, yellowtail, salmon, striped bass, which was really bland, and shrimp comprised the plate for two. The sushi rice was OK. I did not eat a lot of it because it quickly filled me up. Service was excellent. Our server came to our table from time to time to fill our wine and sake glasses. I was surprised

he did not offer us Schuylkill punch and tea. Muntin is open for lunch and dinner. Prices are moderate and there is free delivery with a $15 minimum purchase. Two tips of the toque to Muntin. SPR

■ Salmon Burgers ■

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I June 17, 2010

everal weeks ago, “Top Chef” judge Gael Greene tweeted, according to the Nation’s Restaurant News, Americans eat 30.5 hamburgers a year. This news does not surprise me. Like baseball, jazz and apple pie, burgers are among the most beloved American pastimes and foods. Sunday is Father’s Day. We do not associate taking dad to dinner or brunch on his day like we do for mom on Mother’s Day. The burger news made me think of the varieties of burgers we like to grill or sear on top of the stove. The best beef for burgers to use is ground chuck. I season it with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sometimes I add some chopped minced Italian parsley leaves and sautéed onions. I form the beef into patties and voila, the Perfect Burger is ready for the grill. I also make Salmon Burgers. Canned red Faust is the salmon of choice for this recipe. It differs from its beef cousin. Then there is the Crab Cake. I never order them in restaurants because they are, more times than not, usually dreadful. Crab cakes are so good on soft buns that Baltimore’s Oriole Park at Camden Yards sells them during baseball games. You may also use ground lamb, for a Middle Eastern flavor, ground bison or a mix of ground beef, pork and veal.

beef. Form them into four patties. Do not flatten them. Heat the butter and oil over medium-high in a large cast-iron skillet. Add the burgers and sear them, about four minutes on each side for rare. Cook a few minutes more for medium rare. Serves four.

‘The key is to get ahead in the count and to try to fool people with change-ups’ —Jillian Murray on her pitching style

HER TIME ON the diamond isn’t quite finished as Neumann-Goretti’s loss will be West Chester University’s gain. She committed to the Division II school last October, choosing it over Drexel University and the University of Rhode Island. “I made an overnight visit, and the campus drew me in, as well as the team itself,” Murray, who received an athletic scholarship, said. The Golden Rams, a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference member, finished the 2010 with a 32-18 record which included dropping the conference championship to Bloomsburg University. Murray is expected to play first base with her new squad while majoring in nursing. “I have already picked out my classes. It’s going to be exciting living on campus,” she said. “The school is not too

eumann-Goretti softball star Jillian Murray celebrated her 18th birthday Sunday. Her big day topped a trio of memorable events all within a month’s time. In May, she led her squad to a Catholic League playoff appearance — the first in 15 years — and Friday she celebrated her graduation from the school at 1736 S. 10th St. “Making the playoffs was definitely the highlight of my career. Our young people progressed from last year, making this year so special,” Murray, the three-time team MVP, said. Add four All-Catholic nods, including a First Team spot as a junior, and the resident of the 2800 block of South Sydenham Street can call her high school career a success. Third-year Neumann-Goretti coach Rich Cidrone said when he met Murray he wasn’t immediately sure how to approach her. “She is quietly competitive,” he said. Murray also provided a spark at the plate, batting over .400 this spring. As the Saints’ lone senior, she led the team with 90 innings pitched and 102 strikeouts. The highlights included an April 29 two-hitter against West Catholic on April 29 and a one-hitter against Wyncote-based Bishop McDevitt five days later. “I pitched for Neumann-Goretti for fun,” Murray said. “I much prefer hitting.”

far [from home] but not too close either.” She has played the last nine years for the Northeast Philadelphia-based Spirit Fast Pitch organization, which includes patrolling first base and the outfield for her current 18-and-under Gold group. At Neumann-Goretti, she just completed a remarkable stint hurling 60-mile-per-hour fastballs to overmatched hitters. The speed puts it in the upper echelon among her peers’ offerings. Minus the right arm of Murray, the team may likely not have earned its postseason slot. As a pitcher, she relies on an impressive change-up that she considers her “out” pitch. “The key is to get ahead in the count and to try to fool people with change-ups,” she said. Murray also displayed a ton of grit, especially in her final high school game. Though she had been dealing with an injured hamstring, she pitched and slugged a triple in her final at-bat. “There was no way she was going to miss the game,” Cidrone said. “We’re really going to miss her.” The team finished 4-9-1 overall and the four victories represented a two-game improvement over last year’s total. “I am proud of her because she has stuck with it so long,” her uncle John Domizio said. “I credit my family for my success, especially my mom. She has gotten me to where I am in softball. She’s the one who brought me to the Spirit,” Murray said. Over the next two months, the Spirit will compete in eight tournaments, giving Murray more opportunities to adjust from gunning fastballs from 43 feet to covering the 60 feet from home plate to first base. Murray does not plan to make her summer one-dimensional, however. “I might find a job and will definitely hang out with my friends,” Murray, who is off to the Bahamas for a vacation, said. “I feel fortunate, but I still have more hard work to put in.” SPR

Jillian Murray ﬁres one of her trusty fastballs at Palumbo Recreation Center, 10th and Fitzwater Streets, where Neumann-Goretti played its home games.

215-271-3000 Time is running out to take advantage of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer credit!!

111 Cambridge Ct, Deptford, NJ $204,900 This is simply one of the nicest

town homes on the market! From the moment you walk in the front door, the homeowners pride is evident. Features include: Beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level, crown molding in the living room & master bedroom, the entire home was recently painted by a professional with soothing neutral colors, upgraded fixtures and 6 panel doors throughout. There is a full eat in kitchen with a center island and plenty of cabinet & counter space. The master and second bedroom are spacious with ceiling fans and an abundance of closet space, the basement was tastefully finished in 2008 and features a family room with gas fireplace and still plenty of room for storage. Finally the sliding glass doors lead out to a cozy patio and backyard with a new shed. This home shows like it’s new and truly requires you do nothing but move your belongings in! By the way it’s 10 minutes from Philadelphia and close to all major highways and shopping areas.
