Going to the Gulf Three recent college grads headed south to document April’s oil spill off the Louisana coast. Erica J. Minutella Review Intern

uring Memorial Day weekend, while other Philadelphians were busy stoking up the grill or enjoying a family vacation at the Shore, two recent college graduates spent their holiday conceiving a rather startling plan. Disturbed by ongoing reports of the April 20 BP oil spill, they decided to pack their bags, head down to Louisiana June 3 and witness firsthand the devastation in the Gulf region. “We came up with the idea ... as a tribute to all the veterans who have fought for something spectacular,” Matthew Tucker, a former Seventh-Street-and-Washington-Avenue resident, said. Tucker and his friend, Gordon Rhoads, both 2010 graduates of Arcadia University, had a further plan to apprise Philadelphians of the situation and started a blog, Restore the Gulf, on which they documented their experiences in Louisiana through photography, video and the written word. “In our area, especially in Philadelphia, we’re getting so much of the maligned news stories, the half-truths,” Tucker said. Before driving south, they assigned themselves specific duties. Rhoads, thanks to his talent for organization and networking, acted as chief of operations while Tucker took care of the media aspect with his background in avant-garde film work. With the help See VOLUNTEERS page 9 After a week in Louisiana earlier this month, Michael Tucker will return to the site of the oil spill July 1.

The FDA has shot down the new drug that promised to increase sexual desire in women. Flibanserin (also referred to as “female Viagra”) proved to be no better than a placebo. This will probably not be the end of the eternal search for a magic pill to hype the female libido, but it should be. By Tom Cardella

To the Editor: While at my doctor’s office an adorable elderly woman was sitting by the door when a charming elderly man arrived. He smiled and said to her, “Oh, you are finished already?,” and with an adorning smile said, “Good thing I was not out having an affair.” His lady blushed while smiling like a young girl would upon her first real kiss. She was beautiful. He gently helped her up to leave. They looked at each other in the most loving way and left together leaving an aroma in the air of a life-long love and spark for each other that you can see from both their expressions that they have shared for so many years. I thought to myself, how heart touching. A younger gentleman sitting beside me said to me, “you don’t see that everyday.” He noticed the same thing I did, and to this young man, you have been raised with true morals and values and I commend you for noticing. To this elderly, yet young-at-heart couple, you know who you are, please cherish your love. My point is, ladies, do not settle. Real love, charm and fidelity is not dead, just hard to find, but worth the wait. Gentle loving qualities toward a woman of any age is what makes a man a man. I witnessed something very rare in today’s world. This incident restored my faith that real men, when raised right with true values and morals, do still exist. Casandra Marchiano South Philadelphia

Infectious illness Open Letter to Charlie Manuel: The Phillies have a very contagious virus, “hitters HV2” or the inability to consistently hit with men in scoring position. This disease has spread through the entire lineup. Hitting is the antidote. I recommend choosing the four best hitters in your minor league system, bring them up and insert them in the lineup — anywhere. Since these minor leaguers have not yet been infected, will hit with men on base and they will be the antidote for hitters. The virus in the regulars

will weaken and they will hit with men on base. Carlo Gonnella South Philadelphia

What is it good for? To the Editor: Russia, with all its might, resources, determination and all the unproductive years of a futile all-out waging war that cost it dearly in human lives and Lord knows how much of its finances, finally realized the futility of further engagement of an unwinable war. One that it too was suckered into and finally saw fit to tuck its tails between its legs and exit as gracefully as possible as it could not handle any further beating handed to it by a resourceful enemy. So, just what made the big-mouth war-mongering leaders that as usual, conned the American people into this on-going war without end. Like the Russians — are Americans experiencing a similar situation that we have no chance of winning? Now, here is the sneaky part that was kept from Russian and American people by their respective leaders, that just recently came to light for all the world to finally get to see. They have known for many years of all the natural resources that lay beneath the ground of Afghanistan — the mother load of all time of vast amounts of gold, silver, oil, gas and so many other resources of unbelievable quantity that I’m sure is what keeps our enemies fighting with renewable strength and determination. So, where is all the money coming from that seems endless to finance two consecutive wars — first with Russia — then with the U.S.? Again, big business rears its ugly head in cahoots with our political leaders and their uncaring cost of the innocent lives of the youth of our country in order to plunder beneath the soil of Afghanistan. To the victors go the spoils, regardless of the gruesome and unending cost of our armed forces having their lives snatched from them. Are you tired of the stink yet? Isn’t it time we get rid of these people who are truly killing America and all its ideals. There really is a time for staying and a time for going and they must go so we can have our country

back. Remember — only we can do it with our only weapon — our vote! If Russia couldn’t do it, what makes us think America could. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

Way with words To the Editor: I just read Mr. Cardella’s column (“Bringing a gun to a knife fight,” June 10) about Israel and the Middle East. Thank you for such a clear and heartfelt piece. I want so much to support Israel as I’ve had an emotional connection to the country for many, many years. But, it gets harder and harder (and then impossible) with the confrontational way they go about things. (And, yes, everyone involved is confrontational.) More details from me aren’t necessary because you put them so well. Karen Winner South Philadelphia For the record In the June 17 Restaurant Review, Frank Lin is the chef of Muntin.

DUDE, WHERE’S MY BLOCK?: It’s a hot summer in the city, but no one knows this better than the Philadelphia Water Department crews that have been working tirelessly through the sweltering heat. On the 1200 block of Porter Street, backhoes have become a daily presence for the nine-month installation project of new water and sewage lines. While this poses a threat to some residents’ parking spots, this will ensure the swift delivery of refreshing H20 for local residents. SPR

ately, whenever the Atlantic City Hilton comes up in conversations, the big questions seems to be can it and will it be able to survive through these tough economic times. I’ve always felt the property was in dire need of a makeover to give people a reason to visit, other than the casino floor. In the summertime, there is the added amenity of the beach bar, which has opened with a new look. But the bigger news is the addition of four new restaurants opening this week. It’s essentially an overhaul of the second floor dinning level. Replacing the Oaks (one of my favorites) is Simon Prime, which is described as an elegant and contemporary American steakhouse by famed celebrity chef Kerry Simon who is making his Atlantic City debut with his unique take on ...

udolph Wilkerson, of the 1600 block of Sixth Street, was gunned down with a single shot to the head at 12:29 a.m. on the unit block of Wolf Street, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. He was pronounced dead at the scene 22 minutes later, Russell said. The police had no motive and made no arrests as of press time.

Double attempted murder Two men were shot after driving a woman to her Grays Ferry home last week. A 42-year-old and a 36-year-old picked up a 22-year-old woman and dropped her off at 1 a.m. on the 1200 block of South 28th Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The driver â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the elder of the men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stood by his car as his 36-year-old passenger walked her inside. The 36-year-old and Darrell Bush, 35, of the 1800 block of Mountain Street, were believed to be yelling inside, Tolliver said. The two allegedly punched each other, so the 42-year-old went inside to break it up and walk the 36-year-old outside. However, Bush is believed to have followed them and fired about four shots with a black automatic handgun at the 36-year-old who was standing on the sidewalk. The driver was hit in the right thigh, fracturing his femur while the younger was struck in the right forearm and left side, Tolliver said. Bush then allegedly pistol whipped the 36-year-old and kicked him while he was down. Bush is believed to have cleaned up inside the home and fled out the back door, Tolliver said. Police spotted and arrested Bush on the 2500 block of Oakford Street shortly after the incident, but did not recover the firearm. Both men were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in stable condition, Tolliver said. Bush was charged with two counts each of attempted murder, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, firearm violations and related offenses. Bush has previously been convicted of possession in the 1990s and aggravated assault and related charges in 2001, according to court documents.

A West Philadelphian was arrested Friday for last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schuylkill shooting. Police learned on June 2 that Alan Clark also known as Darryl Clark, 23, of the 5500 block of Haverford Avenue, stepped out of an alley near the 2700 block of Wolf Street at 12:29 a.m. May 20 and shot a 34year-old man multiple times with a handgun, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The victim was transported in critical condition to HUP with wounds to the upper left side of his chest, left shoulder and hand. At 11:30 a.m. June 18 the South Detectivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Warrant Unit arrested Clark when he met his probation officer at the Philadelphia Adult Probation and Parole Department, 1401 Arch St., in Center City, Tolliver said. Clark was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and firearm violations.

Walk-by shooting A man shot at an occupied vehicle and then fled through Mifflin Park Sunday evening. Third District police responded to the 2300 block of South Fifth Street for gunshots at 7:11 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A witness saw a man walk through Mifflin Park, Sixth and Ritner streets, and shoot at a blue SUV with tinted windows and a few men inside. The shooter fled through the park while the vehicle sped north on Fifth and east on Wolf Street, Tolliver said. Police did not find a victim, but did locate ballistic evidence at the scene. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

OfďŹ cer slugged by a board A Point Breeze woman whacked a police officer in the face with her bag when the officer was trying to arrest another woman. Police were alerted to a large fight on the 1900 block of South 22nd Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective

Police Report Division said. As the crowd gathered, officers instructed people to disperse including Andrea Rivers, 48, of the 1800 block of South 22nd Street, who was allegedly told twice to vacate the area. After refusing both times, she is believed to have grabbed a police officer’s right arm when he tried to arrest another woman for disorderly conduct, Tolliver said. Unable to handcuff her, he pushed Rivers away in order to keep control of the other woman. Rivers then allegedly swung a white bag at the officer striking him in the right side of his face. Inside the bag was a 30-inch wooden spindle and 20-inch wooden board, police said. The officer was unharmed. Rivers was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of a crime, recklessly endangering another person, obstructing justice and failure to disperse.

Arrested for Center City assault

A taxi driver was held up by a trio of men near Marconi Plaza early Sunday.

A teen was seen chatting on his phone when he fired several shots at an unknown target in Passyunk Square Friday. A witness saw a man on a cruiser-style bike fire a gray or black semi-automatic handgun about five times north on the 1100 block of South 12th Street before fleeing west on the 1200 block of Ellsworth Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The offender was described as a black male, age 16 to 20 with a medium build and close-cropped hair. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Sliced A 39-year-old with two lacerations on his right forearm met police, who were called to his home last week. He and Jerry Bo, 20, of the 600 block of Durfor Street, were involved in an altercation on the same block when Bo allegedly reached into his back pants pocket for a knife and cut the man, who was a guest at his home, at 9:45 p.m. June 16, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Police arrested Bo in the second floor bedroom of the home, but the knife was not recovered. The 39-year-old did not seek medical treatment. Bo was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and terroristic threats.

A Grays Ferry man was arrested after indecently assaulting a woman in Center City earlier this month. Ervin Tate Jr., 45, of the 1400 block of South 28th Street, was identified after surveillance photos circulated from when he allegedly used a woman’s debit card at a Center City bank after assaulting her, according to a Police Public Affairs press release. The photos were taken at Susquehanna Bank, 1635 Market St., and PNC Bank, 1801 Market St., between 2:30 and 3 a.m. He was arrested June 12, according to court documents. A 24-year-old woman flagged down police at 3 a.m. June 8 on the 300 block of North 15th Street in Center City to report the assault, according to the press release. The woman was walking around 15th and Locust streets looking for her roommate when Tate allegedly offered to help. The two walked to 15th and Vine streets when Tate is believed to have put his arm around her neck and threatened her with a knife. She handed over her debit card and $5 and the perpetrator allegedly indecently assaulted her prior to fleeing the area. Tate was charged with robbery, aggravated indecent assault, unlawful restraint, indecent assault, theft, receiving stolen property and related offenses, according to court documents. Tate pled guilty to robbery in 1998 and was sentenced to jail for six to 23 months.

A man flagged down the cab at 3 a.m. on 2500 block of South Broad Street and the driver made a right on to the 1400 block of Shunk Street where the man told the 29-year-old All City Taxi driver that he and his friends needed a ride, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Instead of hopping in the taxi, the man held a knife at the driver’s throat while his masked friend pointed a black handgun at him from the passenger’s side of the taxi, Tolliver said. A third man stood as the lookout. The men demanded money, so the driver complied by handing over $200 plus his own wallet, Tolliver said. The trio — described as white, age 17 to 20, thin and 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 — crossed Broad and fled east on Shunk. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Zack to basics

Following a three-year prison stint, a filmmaker is utilizing two area locations for scenes in his first feature film. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

ack Williams has a refreshing mindset, the antithesis of what one might expect a former criminal to foster. Having spent three years behind bars on a drug conviction, Williams returned home in January 2009 to further his passion for video production. His fervor has led to the filming of his first feature piece, “Can’t Judge a Book,” a look at deception and self-discovery. The first theme is one that had kept Williams from working on the latter for years. The former resident of the 1300 block of Carpenter Street spent most of his youth in West Philadelphia, but called South Philadelphia home until the fourth grade. Though he grew up in a traditional twoparent home, Williams, who will turn 31 Saturday, resorted to dealing drugs. “Flat-out greed led me to sell drugs,” Williams, who spent November ’05 through January ’09 in the State Correctional Institution in Somerset, said. While away, he honed his love for film, adding to the knowledge he had attained during an 18-month matriculation at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, 1622 Chestnut St. “Jail is a mindgame,” he said Monday at Ms. Tootsie’s Soul Food Cafe, 1314 South St., one of two local scenes featured in the film that wraps late next month. “If people start speaking about ways to break the law when they get out, everybody listens, but if someone starts talking about legitimate ways to make money, like following dreams, everybody turns away.” Williams has not had to worry that his fiancé, Chondra Cain, a South Philadelphia native hailing from the 700 block of South Marvine Street, would turn from him. Their daughter, Zainab Cain-Williams, 9, inspires her father every day. The presence of these women and that of his parents, Doris and Zachary Williams, who are co-producing the film along with his future mother-in-law Stephanie Cain, helped Williams to enjoy his second Father’s Day since his release. That his father, who has been battling complications from kidney failure, is still around to guide him amazes Williams. “He’s out of the hospital, and he doing great,” he said. The filmmaker hopes that his first fea-

“Can’t Judge a Book” cast members, from left to right, Zack Williams, Anarrah Wallace, T-Pain, Udeme Mahogany Greens, Snoop Rock ‘n’ Roll, Yolanda Waller, Jazzo Williams and Stephanie Cain will be ﬁlming next week in South Philadelphia. S ta f f P h o t o b y g r e g b e z a n i s

ture production will likewise do great. Filming began in April, with Williams serving as the principal writer, a co-director and a supporting actor. “My movie, like all my stories, specializes in twists. It tries to show how hard it can be to find purely good people,” Williams said. Even his character struggles to maintain a sense of decency. “My character, Brandon, is an event planner, and let’s just say he has issues,” he added with a smile. IN ADDITION TO Ms. Tootsie’s, Williams and his crew will use the former St. Charles Borromeo School building, 2019 Montrose St. The action in Ms. Tootsie’s will involve a confrontation between lovers while the Borromeo filming will fittingly center around education. He draws most of his inspiration and motivation from his own life and from Investigation Discovery, a digital cable television channel specializing in criminal investigations and crime-related documentaries. He does not, however, want anyone to pigeonhole his work.

“When I first took an interest in film at 15, I said, ‘oh, I can see me making films for the next 30 to 40 years.’ That amount of time will let me explore whatever comes to me.” As for who will inspect his projects, Williams, who will speak at the third annual Philadelphia Independent Film Festival Saturday, has a philosophy. “If I can gather one person who likes my first film, someone who dislikes it and someone who is neutral, what a debate they could have,” he said. “Seeing it would really help me as an artist.” Williams’ life philosophy is equally constructive. He has a five-year plan that is already 40 percent successfully completed. “In my first year, I wanted to establish a salon. Check,” he said of the West Philadelphia-based Zymetrics Hair Salon that he and Cain founded. “In my second year, I wanted to make a film. Check.” The next three years, he hopes, will bring at least one more film, at least two more salons and a hair magazine. “I am thinking long term as a director. I would love to be a household name with a

reputation as someone who knows how to make good quality movies,” he said. He credits his cinematic credo “entertaining while educating” with influencing his decision to complete his associate degree. “I am about nine months short of graduating. I will most likely finish when I have completed my second film,” Williams said. His first film, which he hopes to complete by the end of July, will require a month for editing, after which Williams will increase his search for a distributor. “I have talked with Maverick Entertainment Group and [Philadelphia-based] Invincible Pictures so far. I will give it three to six months for someone to pick it up,” he said. If nobody does, Williams will issue 20,000 to 30,000 copies independently. “I’m putting it on the line,” Williams said of his aspirations as a filmmaker and a contributing member of society. “I don’t want to be a gangster anymore.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

VOLUNTEERS continued from page 1 of a HD GoPro Hero camera, which can film underwater, as well as in wind speeds up to 100 miles per hour, he planned to bring a more immediate view of the site to followers of the blog that gets about 900 views each day. Shortly afterwards, they were joined in their endeavors by Christopher Belles, Tucker’s childhood friend, who has a Bachelor of Science in neuroscience, was and provided the team with an understanding of scientific terminology, as well as a precautionary knowledge of the dangers involved in dealing with an oil spill. Since returning on July 10, the team has received numerous e-mails from people interested in hosting fundraisers including one hosted by Geekadelphia that took place last night at Tattooed Mom, 530 South St., where donations as well as items such as various gift cards, canned food and children’s clothing and books were collected. Those who donated were entered in a raffle for prize packs from the Academy of Natural Sciences, Eastern State Penitentiary and Brave New Worlds Comics among others. “The volunteer response to go down

there and the contributions that are being made — just on Restore the Gulf’s behalf — have warmed me so much,” Tucker said. “That’s why we’re there. That’s Restore the Gulf’s final mission: To take ownership of the spill and not watch it through the media.” THE THREE 24 year olds set out at approximately midnight June 3 to drive 1,200 miles to New Orleans in a straight run that lasted about 22 hours. They soon discovered just how unique this grueling trip was, as they were the only volunteers to come from a city located so far away from the disaster. After their arrival, much of their time was spent locating an already-established charity in need of volunteers. They soon contacted the Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans, through the United Way. The trio’s primary work consisted of assisting the nearly 3,000 families of fishermen deprived of their livelihoods. The project entailed detailing the needs and financial situations of the families — from assessing rent rates and mortgages to factoring weekly spending on groceries — as well as eventually compiling the information gathered. “And out of those 3,000, all of which do not have a steady source of income now, only 78 have received financial reimburse-

ment,” Tucker said. It was not until June 5, that they finally witnessed the sight of the leak. During a trip to Grand Isle, La., they noted that one-third of the beaches were partitioned by a large orange pipeline, forming a barrier along the shoreline five miles long. Inspired by the catastrophic scene that opened up before him, Tucker jumped over the barrier and began taking video footage of the oil spill. “Within 10 seconds, there was a threetier National Guard response,” Tucker said. “Two Humvees coming from both sides of the beach and an aerial helicopter overhead. ...They came up to us and said, ‘Give us your shoes. You’re lucky we’re not arresting you.’” Tucker went on to describe that the site of the leak is known as a hot zone. “A hot zone means that it is at a caustic toxicology level, because if anything comes in contact with [the oil] — shoes, items, clothing — you need to be decontaminated,” he said. They soon learned this effect extends to the sea creatures and wildlife located in the Gulf region, particularly affecting the Louisiana state bird, the brown pelican. After feeding in the waters and contaminating their undersides with oil, the pelicans return to their nests coating the eggs

and thereby significantly decreasing the chances that their hatchlings will survive. “Within pop culture, last year was the year of Lady Gaga. And this year, I think it’s taking the angle of the BP oil spill,” Tucker said. “This is not a spill. A spill is when a few barrels of oil fall off an oil rig. This is an uncontrolled release of oil that has no solution.” Currently back in Philadelphia to gather funds and support, Tucker and Rhoads will be accompanied by Sara K. Lewis upon returning to Louisiana July 1 to continue providing relief to the fishermen’s families and to foster long-term relationships to ensure they will be taken care of during the holidays, as well as early next year before the fishing season starts once again. The team is recruiting volunteers, to whom they will provide an agenda, financial assistance for the trip and details on the best accommodations, as well as campaigning for the supplies so crucial to ongoing relief efforts. “Everybody in Philadelphia is really getting behind this mission,” he said. “I know the charity of Philadelphians firsthand: I moved here in 2004. If there’s something that the people of this city can help with, they do and do it well.” SPR For more information on their endeavors, visit www.restoringthegulf.blogspot.com.

Noreski, the daughter of Michelle Anne Noreski Anne and Thomas Noreski of the 100 block of Snyder Avenue, will continue her medical training in family medicine at Aria Health in Langhorne and plans to pursue a fellowship in sports medicine.

Culinary expertise

mariyah Mathis, of the 2200 block of Catharine Street, and Katrina Cicirello, of the 600 block of Wharton Street, placed third out of 16 teams from across the country that took part in the Job Corps Culinary Arts Expo in Cape May, N.J. June 14-18. The Philly Job Corps, a federally-funded job-training and education program for ages 16 to 24 based at 2810 S. 20th St., made the final four after preparing a 10-serving healthy meal and creating a decorative centerpiece in three hours to present to the judges’ panel.

Natural talent

f school spirit is an essential aspect of the high school experience, then 12th-grader Yidi Zheng may very well be a paragon among his fellow students. The St. John Neumann and Maria Goretti High School senior divides his time among an astounding number of clubs including art, technology, Spanish and chess clubs as well as Mathletes, yearbook and Community Service Corps, among others. Somehow, Yidi also manages to squeeze in part-time work in the school’s Alumni Development Office. “Yidi is a talented and mature young man who we are proud to call one of our own,” said Veronica Oster, director of admissions at NeumannGoretti. “...He has a great balance in his schoolwork and activities.” The 19-year-old from the 1500 block of South 15th Street is particularly proficient in the subject of English, which may come as a sur-

Yidi Zheng prise for those familiar with his history: English is not Yidi’s primary language. “I have worked very hard to excel in Honors English and writing,” Yidi said. Learning new languages is not the only area in which Yidi demonstrates a natural talent. Although he never

played an instrument before entering high school, he now plays the trombone and is the band president. “Through instruction and much practice, I am now proficient at playing the trombone in the school concert band,” he said. Yidi’s remarkable achievements do not go unrecognized. The student is the recipient of quite a few awards and honors. He is a four-year honor student, a three-year Millay Scholar and has been designated the official translator of Mandarin and Cantonese for the Neumann-Goretti administration and the school’s nurse. The multi-talented young man plans to major in international business and finance at La Salle University. SPR Yidi Zheng will receive a $150 savings bond.

WELCOME AMERICA continued from page 1 Anything calling itself a celebration must include a plentiful collection of savory grub. Specializing in offering quality provisions, Wawa has amassed the talents of more than 25 eateries. Those establishments will hawk their vittles 5 to 8 p.m. June 25, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. June 26 and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 27 as part of Taste of Philadelphia, one of the festival’s longstanding components. South Philadelphia will have ample representation during the weekend feast. El Zarape, 1648 E. Passyunk Ave., will offer traditional Mexican goodies, including enchiladas, fajitas, tacos and burritos. Jamaican Jerk Hut, 1436 South St., will gratify any urges for Caribbean cuisine with curry chicken, brown stew chicken and jerk chicken. Those with a yearning for traditional South Philadelphia fare can sample the wares of Tony Luke’s, 39 E. Oregon Ave., which will sell the carnivorous classics of cheesesteaks, roast pork, chicken cutlets and roast beef sandwiches. Paesano’s, 901 Christian St., will peddle pastitsio, a baked pasta dish including meat sauce and a custard or bechamel sauce. The establishment’s other creation will be an Italian-style macaroni salad. Mamma Maria’s, 1637 E. Passyunk Ave., will complete the South Philadelphia quintet. Owner Maria di Marco, who will participate in her second Taste of Philadelphia, will present a flavorsome foursome of dishes. Stuffed eggplant with ricotta cheese, pasta alfredo with broccoli rabe, roasted sausage with peppers and homemade pizza will keep the flow at di Marco’s station steady. “Nobody else will have pizza,” di Marco,

who opened her establishment on Mother’s Day in 1992, said. As for her motivation for participating, the proprietor, who had to complete an application to win the right to participate, spoke of her patriotism for her second home. “I was born in Italy, but this is America, the land where I live. Why wouldn’t I help it to celebrate?” she said. WAWA, WHICH HAD announced in February

that it would be succeeding Sunoco as the primary sponsor for Welcome America!, will not cease to surfeit taste buds once the first weekend passes. On June 30, beginning at 7 p.m., Hoagie Day will kickstart a Philadelphia-themed double feature. Inside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 26th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, a mile-long hoagie will be unveiled in one of the galleries. Following the gorging, participants will have an opportunity to

catch a screening of “Rocky” at 9 p.m. at the foot of the museum’s Rocky steps. Over the final three days, the Super Scooper All-You-Can-Eat Ice Cream Festival will benefit the Joshue Kahan Fund for finding a cure to pediatric leukemia. For $5 each, individuals can test their ice cream tolerance from noon to 5 p.m. July 3 to 5 and again from 6 to 9 p.m. on the initial day at Penn’s Landing, Walnut Street and Columbus Boulevard. The Go 4th and Learn Series will present three days of educational opportunities for all ages June 28 to 30. At three locations, the series will examine history, science and art in separate presentations. On June 28, Mayor Michael Nutter will help with Historical Story Time, children will learn about the science of fireworks on the second and Philadelphia illustrator Jerry Pinkney will lead interactive arts activities on summer scenery and the Philadelphia landscape. Fireworks will adorn the sky at Penn’s Landing June 26 and July 3 and at the Philadelphia Museum of Art July 4. All three displays will follow musical performances. Six such performances will offer musical diversity over the celebration. The standout musical artists will be Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, who will blend new favorites with popular classics at the July 2 Independence Picnic, The Roots, will bring local flare July 4, while the Goo Goo Dolls will end the musical portion of the Independence Day celebration.

Keeping it cool with the mayor

onning a “Stay Cool” T-shirt, Mayor Michael Nutter, back row, second from left, helped the 1200 block of Wolf Street celebrate the application of a white cool roof coating during a the RetroFIT Philly “Coolest Block Contest” block party Saturday. In addition to the roof that is expected to be completed by the end of July, the residents on the block earned a free energy audit along with air sealing and insulation. “It’s because of Philadelphians like you, who have taken action to save energy that we’ll be able to hand over a healthier, safer community to our children,” Nutter said in a press release. The block party featured a live band, roof

tours and internationally-renowned climate scientist Hashem Akbari, who explained that the roofs will reduce air conditioning costs by 20 percent and permanently lower carbon emissions by 273 tons.

Feed the hungry

EPTA in partnership with Philabundance will be collecting food donations at 45 locations including Oregon and Pattison Avenue stations through Monday. SEPTA hopes to surpass the more than nine tons collected last year. However, donations are down 20 percent thus far. Philabundance is seeking contributions of canned tuna, pasta and beef ravioli as well as creamy peanut butter and jelly in plastic containers.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 24, 2010

hiladelphia has been through a lot of changes over the past half century. South Street property owner Peter DeFeo has been through his own metamorphosis. “When I bought the building [in 1982], it was destroyed and I knew [South Street] was coming back. My grandmother also said, ‘Let’s buy everything on South Street,’” DeFeo said of the building at 525 South St. that now houses the International Artist Studio, his production company that also has an office in Chester County. With headquarters steps from the now-bustling South, DeFeo’s own life journey has culminated in his latest project, “Saddle Up with Dick Wrangler and Injun Joe,” which debuted June 16 as part of the South Street Headhouse District Indie Film Series running Wednesday nights through Sept. 1. All screenings begin at 8 p.m. and local bands will perform before screenings every other week. “Saddle Up,” a full-length feature about two South Philly-raised boys who had a successful television show in the ’60s, but have since been plagued by the economic stresses of today was well received by last week’s audience. The film picks up with the current relationship of the two men — one who looks like a cowboy, one who looks to be of Native American descent — who live above a South and Sixth streets Pawn Shop. “It’s very consistent with today’s world of these guys caught up in a bad

Lifestyles continued from previous page economic situation, two men, two human beings, with personal characters and morals trying to make it through bad economics times and failure,” DeFeo, who lives above his Fourth-and-South-streets studio, said. “It’s about lots of morals and values.” With rave reviews from DeFeo’s circle and interest from Los Angeles- and New Yorkbased producers, DeFeo is glad the film has been as celebrated as he anticipated. “... As we were developing it, we knew we had something special and as we got into it, it sort of grew into its own,” DeFeo, who was born at Pennsylvania Hospital and attended St. Thomas Aquinas, 1719 Morris St., before his family moved to Runnemede, N.J., said. “We put over 500 people to work in the Philadelphia area. “I can’t say enough about how Mickey Rooney — and he’ll be 90 years old on September 23 of this year — I can’t say enough about what a great job he did. It was impressive to work with Mickey Rooney and how quick he picked up on his lines and got into the character,” DeFeo said. “I guess after 80, 90 years of acting something might rub off! He’s awesome!” The cast and crew of the ultra-low bud-

ing at Fourth and South, and my father was selling watermelons out of a cart, in 1905,” DeFeo said. “And my mom owned a deli on Passyunk Avenue, at Fitzwater, and she was buying [watermelons]. “[This building] was a furniture store, then a meat factory and it was sold five years prior, so I purchased it to convert it in 1982.” Prior to buying up spaces throughout Philadelphia, which he knew would become valuable, the entrepreneur had done “everything from sewage treatment to art. “I owned [a sewer company] from 1960, for 40 years, I sold that to the town in the end of the last century,” DeFeo said. “I had many thousands of apartments and I sold all the apartments and office buildings and I sold everything but this building.” This building would turn into an arts haven, with a few notable tenants. “So when this building came up for sale, I happened to have a few bucks sitting around and I went and bought it in ’82 and then upgraded it in ’87. Will Smith was a tenant here in ’88, ’89, ’90,” DeFeo said. “Then he said, ‘Mr. D, I gotta leave, I got to break the AFTER MOVING TO New Jersey, DeFeo in- lease.’ He had to go to L.A. [for the Fresh vested back in the area when he bought the Prince of Bel Air] … Mannequin Two was now-home of International Artist Studio. B:10”shot in the building and a lot of agents and “My parents met in front of this build-T:10”theater people are in the building.

“We support the arts in Philadelphia I’ve supported the arts my entire life and I want to end my life deep in the arts.” A performer from a young age, DeFeo tried on many hats before returning fulltime to his passion. “I was always winning contests from when I was a child. My godfather, he was Lucille Ball’s driver during the second World War. He taught me how to tap dance and sing at 3 years old,” DeFeo said. Now, at 72, DeFeo spends his days with what he loves best, creating art with oils, watercolors, acrylic, house paint or film — whatever medium suits his mood. “Saddle Up,” with a screenplay that began in 2007, seems to be a culmination of so many projects for DeFeo. “I was married at 17 and had three children by 22, then retired by 30” DeFeo, who directed ”Saddle Up” and played Injun Joe, said. “Then, when I was 33, I said, ‘I will never do this again.’ I’d rather go working with my boots on … This is what I’ve been aiming for my entire life, also. “I believe it’s born in you. My little granddaughter, she has it in her, she just has that ability.” SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news/ lifestyles.

get SAG production, that shot around the Philadelphia area beginning last fall, was in it for the love of art. The film has a completely original score and is shot with digital cameras that were then altered by a novel process devised by DeFeo and his team. “We used special experimental digital stuff we developed ourselves and standard things off the shelf — very expensive Sony HD cameras,” DeFeo said. “Last [Wednesday] these producers thought we shot on film, but its doesn’t quite seem like film. “I’ve been an artist my entire life, every type of medium you can think of.” DeFeo hopes the movie “Saddle Up” will be bought and have an international release. Talks have also included the initial ideas for a TV series. No matter what the film’s ultimate fate, DeFeo feels he has hit a jackpot. “I’m having a great time meeting a lot of nice people and I feel I’m doing more now — my whole life has pushed me in this direction,” DeFeo, who has appeared in numerous Hollywood films, said.

Who’da thought a high-concept, rudeboy romp called “Hot Tub Time Machine” would wind up being the year’s best screwball comedy? It aims to be the intersection of “The Hangover” and “Back to the Future” and comes close to being better than both. The film features the hilarious quartet of John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke and Craig Robinson. SPR

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 24, 2010

ithout smugly taking advantage of it, “Toy Story 3” thrives greatly on our enduring love for Woody, Buzz, Rex, Slinky Dog and the rest of young Andy’s adventurous, adorably antiquated toys. It’s hard to think of another film franchise that could devote the entire beginning and ending of its nal installment to the drawn-out reintroduction and farewell of its characters and not seem at all self-satised. Here, such bookends are so moving, magical and evocative, it’s enough to leave you in snifing shambles. And it’s nearly enough to dismiss how what transpires in between those ends falls beneath Pixar’s self-imposed standard of excellence. With Andy heading off to college, it’s time to decide whether to bring, store or junk his old playthings, who, after years of neglect, are well aware of the three options. A fourth ends up happening: The toys (familiarly voiced by Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, et. al.) are mistakenly donated to a day care center, which has “Sunny” in its name but is inhabited by terroristic toddlers and oppressive house toys led by the decidedly un-cuddly LotsO’-Huggin’ Bear (Ned Beatty). Though thematically sound and visually awless, the whole second act – in which the core group’s situation goes from playtime to prison break – is beat-by-beat typical, with the only urgent development being an all-is-lost landll sequence where all really does seem lost. The creative reality-based scenarios (toys gambling at night, Buzz being reprogrammed

in Spanish) are as amusing as ever, but nowhere else does the middle chunk show true ingenuity. Still, it’s blasphemous to tear down a movie that, at the core of its enormous heart, speaks volumes about the sad loss of childhood and the hope of new horizons. By and large, “Toy Story 3” provides major enjoyment and major satisfaction, even if it’s only minor Pixar.

he FDA has shot down the new drug that promised to increase sexual desire in women. Flibanserin (also referred to as “female Viagra”) proved to be no better than a placebo. This will probably not be the end of the eternal search for a magic pill to hype the female libido, but it should be. There is a lot wrong with trying to create synthetic desire in women. Many of us men have a tough time understanding there is a natural and fundamental difference between the sexes when it comes to sexual desire. To put it simply, if you want a male to have sex with you, you don’t have to take him to a nice restaurant with violins playing in the background. Men can have sex any time, any place, whether it is in an old warehouse, a restroom at the United Nations or a local carwash. We have no trouble getting in the mood. We are pretty much always in the mood. When Einstein came up with E=mc2, he was probably also thinking about sex. The only question for men is whether our performance can meet our desires, and that’s where the little blue pill came in. The idea behind the female sex drug is there must be something wrong with women because they don’t have the same libido as men. But nature is rarely wrong, and it isn’t in this instance. If women had the same level of desire as men, nothing would get done — well, almost nothing. Society would be in chaos. No one would be watching Oprah. The kids would never get picked up from school. There would never be any bake sales because women wouldn’t have time to bake. Who could take both Bill and Hillary fooling around with trailer trash? This fact has led some women to conclude not only that there isn’t anything wrong with them that requires a pill, but it’s men who have the problem. That’s also wrong. If men had a weaker sex drive, we would be less interesting. Show me a man with a low sex drive and I’ll show you a golfer (OK, Tiger Woods is an exception). If men had a lower libido they would never relinquish the television remote. Football was invented to divert men from thinking about sex (until somebody came up with the idea of cheerleaders). Hugh Hefner would be just your everyday 80-year-old accoun-

tant. South Carolina would still be stuck with Mark Sanford as its governor. Men would only go to a gentleman’s club for the free lunch buffet. “Sex and the City” would be called “Shopping and the City.” There is another reason why a female sex pill is a bad idea. We already have one — it’s called the cosmopolitan. Is there any doubt in your mind, my male brethren, that a couple of cosmos are cheaper than any female sex pill that would come on the market? Hell, you could probably buy Carrie a pair of Jimmy Choos and not spend as much as some pharmaceutical company would rip you off for a 30day supply of Flibanserin or whatever the hell it’s called. Think of it this way, men: We thought breast implants for females would bring us nirvana, but how has that worked out? The surgery is expensive and now all we do each day is wonder whether the girl we are ogling in the office has real ones or not. Cosmetic surgery seems to have done well for Cher, but don’t you get the idea that suddenly someday her body is going to turn to dust like a vampire caught in the sun? Besides for every Cher, there is a Joan Rivers. There is no sex pill strong enough to make some husbands desirable. If you are sitting in your living room in your underwear with a beer gut hanging out that ought to have Budweiser stamped on it, an unshaven, belching mess, there is no pharmaceutical that will turn you into George Clooney in the eyes of your wife. You might as well save money, throw your Viagra down the sink and take a cold shower. You might get lucky on your birthday or New Year’s Eve. We live in a fake world. Nothing is what it seems. Men have their false teeth and hair weaves. Women have boobs and fake butts. Both have fake tans. We sip artificially sweetened drinks and eat steaks juiced up with hormones. We take vacations to Disneyland where we visit cartoon versions of the world’s great attractions. If there is one thing we should preserve, it is the authenticity of desire. When your honey whispers in your ear, do you really want it to be because she remembered to take a pill? SPR

hile the origins of the potato salad may come from as far away as Germany, this side dish has become a classic choice for the American dinner. It’s perfect when served cold at summertime family picnics or barbecues and Debbie Robb’s twist on the traditional fare guarantees to complement any meal. The resident of the 300 block of Mercy Street suggests experimenting with the spicier side of life by sprinkling in hot pepper juice. Add the hotdogs, veggie burgers or main course of choice and the summer night under the stars is complete. SPR

Debbie’s Delicious Potato Salad Ingredients:

5 pounds of potatoes, diced and boiled 1 carrot, chopped 1 stalk of celery, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 cup of bell peppers 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced 1 quart of mayonnaise 1 tablespoon of hot pepper juice 1 tablespoon of celery seeds Salt, pepper, paprika and parsley ﬂakes, to taste

After a ﬂavor-ﬁlled, authentic Moroccan meal soothe your sweet tooth with this decadent Opera pastry at Argan. S ta f f p h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

His dinner ($15) consisted of two skewers threaded with tender grilled lamb and served with saffron rice with a walnut, raisin and cucumber yogurt mixture. I usually do not like raisins in food, but this was delicious. The crunch of the cucumber and walnuts added texture to the sauce. My lamb shank ($22) was called a tagine, although it was not. A tagine is a enamel cooking vessel which is used to cook chunks of lamb or chicken with vegetables set upon a bed of couscous. It was succulent and perfectly braised while the meat pulled right off the bone. Sweet prunes, topped with sesame seeds and almonds, along with sliced roasted potatoes and carrots completed my dinner. Jim’s braised chicken ($17) was splendid. It was enhanced by preserved lemons

and topped with green olives and marinated saffron potatoes. Our server brought us complimentary bite-size pieces of Opera, a classic French pastry made with layers of thin almond sponge cake soaked with espresso and filled with ganache and coffee butter cream. Argan is one of the finest and tastiest bargains in town. Go and enjoy. Three tips of the toque to Argan. SPR

traditional way to begin a Middle Eastern meal. The platter contained creamy hummus, babaghanouj, zaalouk and shekshuka served with warm-from-the-oven pita bread. Hummus has become almost as popular as salsa and this version was dreamy. The chopped eggplant also was delicious. Our server told us about the two other spreads. One was a white bean hummus and the other a spicy red pepper, one which packed quite a punch. She also brought us a warm semolina-like bread and a ramekin of olives. Bastilla cigars ($11) are Moroccan cigars. They’re called bastilla because the national dish of Morocco is bastilla, a pie made with phyllo dough and stuffed with pigeon or chicken scented with spices, especially cinnamon. These treats were filled with marinated seafood including chopped shrimp, calamari and sea bass. Minced fresh herbs, bits of vermicelli, sauéed onions and leeks were included in the mix. They were topped with a cool yogurt sauce. Jim never tried them before and his face lit up with a smile. Maybe he did not realize the cigars were filled with fish. Haloumi cheese formed the basis for a refreshing salad. It was grilled and set atop a mound of greens, cherry tomatoes, white beans, capers, red onions, fresh herbs and kalamata olives. The delicate cheese and vegetables paired well with the salty capers and olives. “I want a lamb kabob,” Amro said.

y friend Esther was born in Morocco, raised in Marseilles and moved to Tel Aviv. She met an American, married him and moved to Philadelphia. Esther is one of the finest nonprofessional cooks and bakers I know. Her Moroccan cigars — phyllo dough filled with seasoned meat or chicken — are second to none. I have always lamented the dearth of Moroccan restaurants in Philadelphia. My taste buds were on full alert when I walked by Argan on South 17th Street. The BYOB is owned by a couple and features home style Moroccan fare. Finally, I was going to have a respite from pub grub, sushi and New American bistro fare. Jim and Amro, my dinner companions, work together but could not be more disparate. Jim grew up on non-descriptive food, while Amro’s food memories are much like mine — he watched his mother cook with care in the kitchen. Jim brought a Sterling Sauvignon Blanc and I brought a 2008 Yalumba Syrah Viognier blend from Australia. We settled into a table for four that was crafted from wood and set with white cloth napkins. The walls were sponged a cheerful red/orange, which stimulated our appetites. The wife of the husband-and-wife team brought us wine glasses and set our white wine in an ice bucket. Amro and I are familiar with and savor the foods of the Eastern Mediterranean, but Jim is not. Moroccan platter of spreads ($7.50) is the

■ Pizza Dough ■ Ingredients:

1 teaspoon of active dry yeast 1 cup of warm water 3 cups of Napoli ﬂour 1-1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt Olive oil, to coat the dough

Directions: In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand until it dissolves. Mix the flour with the salt and stir into the dissolved yeast, using fingers or a wooden spoon. Mix until you have a stiff dough. Flour a board or your counter. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead for five to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking. Knead until

the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough all over the bowl so it is oiled. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Set the bowl in draft-free area until it doubles in size. This should take about 90 minutes. Punch down the dough. Return the dough to the bowl. Allow to stand for two hours. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Flour the workspace and press the dough until it forms a 12-inch circle. Place toppings of your choice on top of the dough. Slide the pizza onto the peel. Shake the pizza off the peel and onto the stone. Bake for four to 12 minutes depending upon your choice of toppings. Peek into the oven from time to time to see if it’s crisp and the cheese is bubbling. Makes four pizzas. Note from Phyllis: This recipe can be easily doubled. Freeze individual balls of dough for future use. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

probably won’t even remember what the fight was about. Lucky number: 359. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Studies may be restricted to practical concerns. This could leave you yearning to learn about something more stimulating. Stabilizing your situation may lead to other opportunities. Lucky number: 296. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): You could feel your job is inhibiting personal growth. There is a larger world to explore. Talking about this could bring up problems; share feelings with someone outside the office. Lucky number: 739. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Your financial situation could be wrapped up with someone else that access to money is scarce. Consider whether this is a necessary situation or if you should attain economic independence. Lucky number: 588. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Partnership could feel a bit smothering. You might wonder if there is more out there to experience. Look closely at the role togetherness plays in your life. Lucky number: 480. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Resolving a problem at home with your closest companion is challenging. Your partner probably prefers you be direct rather than pout or act out. Lucky number: 937. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Pursuing a unique path may seem to be confined to a narrow course. Use this as a chance to focus on where you want to go in a determined way. Lucky number: 113. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Presenting ideas for a project won’t go anywhere while those in charge are focused elsewhere. Personal endeavors are eventually noticed if you continue to publicize them. Lucky number: 362. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Taking in new information becomes difficult while you are in an emotional state. Tell a friend about discoveries and worry about the meaning later. Lucky number: 863. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): The usual crowd may seem less exciting as you may crave something different. You may find the familiarity and dependability of these people provide your life substance. Lucky number: 475. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): A group leader you feel strongly about has a powerful voice. You may not want to go along with everything this person espouses. Not speaking your opinion could cause a lot of frustration. Lucky number: 529. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Career aspirations are probably not gaining momentum. You may feel that you aren’t advancing in the way you should. Work on perfecting current projects. Lucky number: 201. SPR To inquire about a personal reading, call Mystic Terry at 215-467-5162.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven, To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. You’re an angel around Gods happy throne I would have held you closer if I had known Your Loving Husband

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL CLINIC

Eight local Philadelphia Catholic and Philadelphia Public League all-stars showcased their skills in last week’s Carpenter Cup. By Joseph Myers

NJTL SUMMER CAMP

The National Junior Tennis League camps begin June 28 at Barry Playground, 1800 Bigler St., and F.D.R.

or some, the Carpenter Cup is a chance for the area’s top high school baseball players to showcase their skills in front of college and pro scouts. For others, who have their college decisions made, the event — now in its 25th year — provides teammates one last chance to play together as high-schoolers. For Neumann-Goretti seniors Al Baur, Michael Riverso and Mark Donato, along with junior Mike Zolk and sophomore Joe Gorman, that opportunity came June 15 at Ashburn Field, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, as they suited for the Catholic League’s All-Stars. On the opposing bench was another group of standouts — including players from Girard Academic Music Program and Prep Charter — representing the Public League. On this day, like the previous three Carpenter Cup meetings, the Catholic League was once again victorious, 11-2. The two squads also squared off in 1990, ’93 and ’95. But there will be no trip to Citizens Bank Park — site of the semifinals and championship game — for the local athletes and their teammates as they were eliminated by SOL American and Continental, 6-1, in Monday’s secondround game.

Sophomore pitcher Michael Borelli of Prep Charter yielded two hits and retired two batters in the eighth inning.

THE CARPENTER CUP takes its name from former Philadelphia Phillies’ owners Bob and Ruly Carpenter. Players from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware trek to South Philadelphia each June to participate in the 16-team single-elimination tournament. The Catholic League franchise is among four squads with three or more crowns. The squad also has 29 victories, which is tied for second most with three others. The Public League, on the other hand, has recorded only one win one win in the 25year history of the event. In last week’s contest, GAMP junior pitcher Dom Raia started the game and took the loss. He pitched three innings — the maximum for a pitcher under tour-

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 24, 2010

Holy Spirit, You who make me see everything and who shows me the way to reach my ideals, You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and You, who are in all the instances of my life with me, I, in this short dialogue want to thank you for everything and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. AMEN. Thank You for your love towards me and my loved ones. Pray this prayer three consecutive days straight without asking for your wish. After the third day your wish will be granted. Promise to publish your dialogue as soon as your favor has been granted. F.M.
