n June 22, Vare, 2600 Morris St., opened. The next day, the crown jewel of 19146 opened, O’Connor at 2601 South St. Ridgway, 1301 Carpenter St., welcomed its first users Friday. Anderson, 740 S. 17th St., was full by Saturday. Barry, 1800 Johnston St., and Murphy, 300 W. Shunk St., were cooling off kids by Tuesday. Yesterday saw the opening of Chew, 1800 Washington Ave., and Sacks, 400 Washington Ave., two lovely Washington

Ave. bookend oases. Today and tomorrow, Ford, 609 Snyder Ave., and Stinger Square, 3200 Dickinson St., swing the gates open. It’s pool season! “One of our city’s most cherished traditions,� Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement. “Our public pools are great amenities that provide fun, safe, healthy opportunities for Philadelphians of all ages to stay cool and enjoy in their neighborhoods.� There are more than 70 public pools and, by tomorrow, all of them will be officially open. Some say they’re criminally un-

derused. Others think they’re dirty. There’s little convincing to be done, though, for sweaty children (and their parents) who can walk to a nearby pool and swim for free. They’re cool with chlorine. Last year Lisa Whittle, the city’s aquatics coordinator, said overseers switched from powder to liquid chlorine, “there’s no room for error – we’ve never been closed due to low or no chlorine.� She and her peers take pool safety very seriously. “We’re hoping to be a safe, cool place for people to cool off, hang out, have a little physical activity –

some people will go there to swim laps or do water aerobics,� Whittle said. “Older people might just want to sit and use it for arthritis. Some neighborhood kids are there from the time the pool opens to the time the pool closes. Every pool offers swim lessons.� The free attractions are, for the most part, open with regular hours: Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Prospective users will want to contact their local pool to determine when swim lessons take place or, perhaps more importantly ASS >==:A ^OUS ,,

To the Editor: I would like to thank Mayor Jim Kenney and City Council for their great courage in standing up to the powerful soda industry and enacting the sweetened beverage tax (aka soda tax). This tax will fund a revitalization program of schools, pre-K, recreation centers, parks, and libraries – increasing resources for our kids and supporting a renewal of our community. If that weren’t enough, it will encourage Philadelphians to purchase healthier beverages. This is not and never was a grocery tax - soda does not equal groceries. I think of the kids in our neighborhood who are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and how many of those cases we can avoid

when they (and their parents) start to compare prices and choose water over soda or “juice drinks.� Research shows this will save hundred of lives and millions in health care costs, not to mention all of the benefits of the funded programs to help Philadelphia’s children. I applaud the many diverse groups that united around our kids and combatted the soda lobby’s multi-million dollar advertising campaign. Let’s now move past the last several months of misleading claims and move ahead with 6,500 new pre-K seats, 25 community schools, and a $300 million plan to revitalize facilities in our neighborhoods – as the Mayor reiterated this week. Thank you again, Mayor Kenney and City Council, for these important

programs, and for helping to make the healthy choice the easy and more affordable option. Julia Koprak South Philadelphia

Bullet points To the Editor: The letter from the June 23 issue (“Triggering action�) that bemoans the horrors of all the multiple murders in the United States of America caught my attention because after the author listed some of these recent killings, including the Orlando massacre, she went on to blame firearms for causing these murders. Let me iterate some facts. 1. Firearms are inanimate objects; they do not love, hate, or kill. 2. People, not inanimate objects, kill people. 3. Long before the invention of firearms, people killed people. They used swords, spears, bows and arrows, sharpened sticks, rocks, and even their bare hands to choke someone to death. 4. At the Boston Marathon, the perpetrators used a pressure cooker as a bomb. Should the federal government require a license and a background check on every person who owns or is trying to buy a pressure cooker? 5. It is people we need to control to reduce the number of massacres. Luckily, we already have organizations and individuals that are dedicated to saving lives. They are our police departments, state troopers, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and I will conclude by saying SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE. James Callos South Philadelphia

What is your reaction to the conviction of wnow-former Pennsylvania 2nd congressional district representative Chaka Fattah? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“He deserves everything that he’s getting. His lack of an apology doesn’t sit too well with me either, and that should upset the people he represented.� Lucy Ragone, 16th Street and Packer Avenue

All hail their divinity To the Editor: “For an intelligent, educated man, he certainly ran his affairs stupidly. I’m terribly disappointed because I liked him a lot.� Carmela Davis, 16th Street and Packer Avenue

Iekj^ F^_bbo H[l_[m At this time, I would like to congratulate the baseball team from Ss. NeumannGoretti High School. It was a team that finished on top as Catholic League, City, and State champions and made us all proud in South Philly, especially when the club beat their neighborhood rivals, Roman Catholic High School, in the Catholic League quarterfinals. Hats off to the coach, Kevin Schneider, who was named the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Southeastern Pennsylvania coach of the year and who guided the Saints to 13 straight victories. Congratulations to the Neumann-Goretti Saints from a proud alumnus. Bobby Burns South Philadelphia

t 3:25 p.m. June 21, law enforcement officials ventured to Checkers, 2008 W. Oregon Ave., for a report of a robbery. The location’s general manager said an exemployee had entered the business without permission by pushing her aside and she blocked the door, made her way to the back room office, took cash resting on a desk, placed the money in her pants pocket, and marched to the front drive-through cash register to remove additional dollars, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The overseer ordered the supposed aggressor to vacate the premises and said the former worker threw the money all over the eatery, bent down, and scooped up an undetermined amount of the spoils before exiting. On Friday, police detained Shakeara Parker and charged the 25-year-old with simple assault, burglary, criminal trespassing, robbery, theft by unlawful taking, and theft by receiving stolen property. She posted her $5,000 bail Saturday and awaits a July 12 preliminary hearing.

Surveillance video captured their likenesses as they entered a home on the 1900 block of South 28th Street at 2 p.m. June 17, using the rear of the property to do so. They took a laptop computer and keys to the complainant’s gray 2010 Toyota Corolla, with the PA tag number JHZ 2359, using the vehicle to flee from the scene in an unknown direction.

At 12:08 a.m. June 15, the complainant was walking on the 1100 block of Snyder Avenue, having exited the Broad Street Subway stop at Broad Street and Snyder Avenue. Observing the aforementioned figures walking toward him, he walked into the street to avoid any contact, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, but they followed, with one punching him in the face, resulting in the breaking of his eyeglasses and the falling of his cell phone to the ground. They combined to deliver several more punches to his face and demanded his money. They received $220, took the phone, and fled southbound on 12th Street toward Jackson Street. The victim described them all as black teens, with one wearing a red T-shirt. Call South Detectives at 215-686-3013, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

He quickly added that he wanted a cup of coffee but produced only $1 for payment for the combination, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The cashier told him he lacked sufficient funds and opened the register to charge him only for the donut. When the worker did that, the aggressor pulled out a black gun and demanded money, grabbing approximately $80 when the employee backed away a few steps and then fleeing in an unknown direction.

with eager travelers. Whether we speak or I just observe, I feel a sense of camaraderie between us, thinking they also want their fares to go toward helping them to fulfill the next step on their literal and figurative journeys. 5) Sporting events: I consider myself a pretty competitive person, so I enjoy opportunities to watch professionals and amateurs as they show true Philly grit. Youth-centered contests really drive home the point that while receiving pay for one’s play has its perks, nothing can top just going out and giving the best that we have. 4) Playground stops: Being a practicing Roman Catholic, I can appreciate the practice of church hopping, but I find sampling different playgrounds equally inviting. I love being able to say to my son that I want to take him to a “new playground� in the sense that it will be novel for him. I look forward to the days when “new� actually means “original.� Keep those playgrounds coming, powers that be. 3) Church services: I have attended Mass at every Catholic Church in South Philly and have felt great pride being among fervent searchers for solace in this ever-confusing world. With so much discord occurring on a national scale, be it related to politics, taxes, issues of equality, wages, and other matters, that shared quest for spiritual companionship will always lead me to genuflect, achy tennis knees be damned. With that language, it must be confession time. 2) Occasional neighborhood walks: My neighborhood, which some dub Marconi and others call Penrose, has great proximity to Girard Estate and Packer Park, so when I go for walks, I am destined to find someone I know pretty well, a phenomenon that leaves me receiving and giving wellwishes and feeling that my heart, no matter life’s obstacles, will never grow dormant until the day I meet my maker. 1) South Philly Review assignments: When I was a graduate intern here in 2009, I remember being incredibly frightened on my first assignment. I still have an occasional moment of worry upon heading to meet and profile people, but, knowing I will have a true opportunity to find out what makes them strive to succeed in their given fields, I become a curious kid who often covets more knowledge that any article can convey. I am thankful that the nine entries before this one are able to serve as additional sources of happiness when the questions stop and I cap my pen.

have often felt that I lead an insular life, but, having been a South Philly resident for 12 years, I know I have enjoyed many occasions where I have been able to revel in having thriving outgoing elements to my personality. As summer has always resounded as the most social season to many, its recent arrival led me to think about the top 10 ways that I like to bond with the constituents of the 19145 through 19148 zip codes. 10) Facebook chats: The only entry that does not involve face-to-cafe interaction, this component of my list often leads to story ideas, reactions to news in our neighborhoods, and chances just to catch up with those whose ultra busy existences necessitate our using computers as go-betweens. 9) Athletic endeavors: Nobody will ever mistake me for Roger Federer, but I certainly enjoy taking to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s tennis courts to work on my one-handed backhand. I enjoy sharing a few words with other lovers of the sport, finding their mix of serious and relaxed play a perfect metaphor for the need for balance in life. 8) Food shopping trips: I rarely go without a chance to reminisce about something when venturing to a South Philly supermarket, as I frequently see my subjects striving to nourish themselves and their families. I particularly like when I have not seen someone in some time, as that leads to longer recollections and company as I cover the aisles. 7) Corner store encounters: Growing up in Southwest Philly, I relied on two corner stores for convenience and conversation. Finding a few notable ones in South Philly, I have come to count some owners and workers not only as story subjects but also as friends. 6) SEPTA travels: Whether through a bus or the Broad Street Subway, I never find myself short on occasions to bond

nother heated South Philadelphia Homes zoning meeting is in the books, this time concerning Ori Feibush’s plan to develop 1245-1249 Point Breeze Ave. into a grocery and three floors of studio apartments. On Monday evening, Dr. Andre Ford, vice chair of the Homes RCO Zoning Committee, did his best to run the meeting at St. Barnabas Church, 1814 Wharton St., that considered three projects: Feibush’s, 1922 Gerritt St. and 2227 Latona St. All of them seem to strike a nerve with longterm residents who don’t like to see change in

Philly students; and a football banquet that honors players, coaches and parents. “Our motto is we serve – our slogan is liberty, intelligence and our nation’s safety,� Ricci said. A former president led a toast on Tuesday that’s said to be used around the world: “Not above you, not beneath you, but with you.� Ricci remembers Tuesday lunches in the 9th Street Italian Market at Palumbo’s, the famous restaurant and club that burned down in 1994. Melvin Jones is said to be the founding member, establishing a charter in ’35.

“I was invited to a Christmas luncheon for blind children, and I sat at a table with seven blind children and three adults and I wasn’t a member at the time,� Nick Montone, a resident of the 500 block of St. Michael Drive and a 50-year Lion, said. “The children got up and sang Christmas songs. I was so touched by that moment that I decided I was going to become a member.� Another member, Jason Douglas, has often led spirited dances and celebrations with the same children. Montone says “it’s a nice organization to belong to.� The 77-year-old banker and

their neighborhood, be it three-story homes with roof decks or increased amounts of cars resulting in dwindling parking and frustrating traffic. “Why do you all want to go so high?� one resident asked of the 2227 Latona developer. “It does not look like the rest of the block!� another meeting attendee commented. 2nd District City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson’s Community Planner and Engagement Liason, Jasmine Sadat, was in attendance. “My office has built quite a number of houses. The sole purpose here is to bring a fresh grocer to Point Breeze Avenue,� Feibush said, meeting with a mix of applause and boos. In fact, a flyer circulated ahead of the meeting that read “Ori’s back trying to build more condos and luxury apartments on Point Breeze

Ave. to push us out – we need everybody to come out and vote no – show Ori he can’t bully Point Breeze.� At the meeting, Feibush said they would all be rental apartments that his company, OCF Realty, would manage. He reported researching grocery co-ops and non-profits and plans to rent the first floor of the property for $1 annually (Feibush joked that he “trolled� the South Philly Food Co-Op, but it wasn’t interested because the majority of the members live east of Broad Street). He even said he plans to put a deed restriction on the property so that the only permitted use will be as a grocery store. That met with more applause than boos. The 15 studio apartments will be small, 370 to 470 square feet, and rent at approximately $800 to $900.

Most of the questions from the audience were about parking and what kind of grocer would come in. A caller the following afternoon suggested that Rendering Provided by S p r u c e L aw G r o u p abandoned grocery stores should be considered before anything new is built, namely the Bottom Dollar, Pathmark at 3021 Grays Ferry Ave., or the Drug Emporium at Point Breeze Avenue and Dickinson Street. - By Bill Chenevert SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

arbara Ricci doesn’t seem 82. The retired teacher and resident of the 2300 block of South Woodstock Street is clearly a beloved fixture of the South Philadelphia Lions Club and, on the phone, she sounds 22. Taking on a fair share of duties for the club, she did a bit of emceeing on Tuesday evening at the Waterfall Room, 2015 S. Water St., and as she took hold of the microphone another member hollered “go get ’em, Barb!� She loves being a Lion and was even a Lioness, the all-female version of the club that merged with the South Philadelphia Lions in 2008. She says, worldwide, they boast 1.4 million members in 206 countries. “At present, we have about 55 members. We do a lot of good,� she said of the local constituents. This week, they honored the three South Philly Philadelphia Police district captains in celebration of their 81st charter anniversary. Ricci listed the good deeds her club takes on, all of them with at least some form of fundraising involved: a Valentine’s dinner; an Italian Festival in October; a Christmas luncheon for blind and visually impaired adults and children and another for Hispanic youths at St. Thomas Aquinas, 1719 Morris St.; volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House; donations to organizations that serve the blind; $2,000 of annual scholarships to four outstanding South

father of two told a story that gala co-chair Rita DiAntonio joked is a well-shared one. After studying at Penn’s Wharton school, he was encouraged to attend Brown University but didn’t want to attend if it entailed typing. But his wife stepped up and offered her typing skills for three years – he had heard of Bob Fosse gifting Gwen Verdon a gold life-saver pendant when she stepped in for Liza Minnelli in “Chicago� and had a custom-made life-saver pin made for his wife. “I had it special made and my wife wears it like a code of honor,� Montone said. At Tuesday’s party, attendees recited the pledge of allegiance and Nancy Sumner led the room in singing “God Bless America.� Rev. Nick Martorano, a 2010 South Philly Review Difference Maker, led a prayer blessing Lions supporters and wishing them to receive new members, something Ricci and Montone both admit the club needs. Captains Louis Campione (1st District), Frank Milillo (3rd District) and Deborah Francis (17th District) were honored, though Francis was not able to attend because her grandmother passed away this past weekend. Milillo accepted a plaque and said “I hope your organization is around for many more years.� Campione graciously said “it’s not us, it’s the officers out there� but thanked the Lions and said “you do a lot for the community.� SPR

POOLS continued from page 1 to kid-free South Philadelphians, when adult swim takes place (typically the last hour the pool is open, 6 to 7 p.m. on weekdays). It’s all funded by taxpayers – nearly 800 citizens get temporary employment either as lifeguards or maintenance staff. “These jobs are a great way for some young people and adults to earn some additional income during the summer months while keeping our pools safe, clean and ready to use,� Parks & Rec managing director Michael DiBerardinis said. For Mica Root, a city employee who was raised in New York City but calls Passyunk Square home for the foreseeable future, it was the O’Connor pool that won her heart. “We have more outdoor public pools than any city. The city can be brutal in the summer – it’s hot, it’s sticky, it’s sweaty,� she said. “It’s hard to find any relief.� She found O’Connor in 2002. “My favorite, I think, will always be O’Connor pool. It’s my first and I worked there and it’s enlightened me to the existence of these pools,� she said. “It’s a particularly nice pool with the high, brick walls and setting. O’Connor will always be the one I have the most allegiance to, but there isn’t a single pool that I wouldn’t want to visit.� BEN BRYANT, WHO studied urban planning at the University of Pennsylvania, is another South Philadelphian who stumbled upon O’Connor on his sweltering walks across the South Street Bridge. “I was walking down South Street one day in grad school on a typical hot Philly day,� he explained. The question became ‘Where do these pools come from?’ He was keenly aware of it as a public space asset. “I kind of feel like the public pool system is the best-kept secret for ways to spend

your summers in Philadelphia, completely open to the public and free,� he offered. “A lot of people think the only options are to take a vacation or go to the Jersey Shore or join an expensive pool club.� South Philly definitely has a few gems, but you may also want to take a trip to some of Lisa Whittle’s favorites. West

Philly and North Philly are home to the densest collections of pools, but the biggies are outside of Center City: Kelly Pool, the largest in the system, is near the Please Touch Museum; Hunting Park in North Philly could be a close second for size; Cobbs Creek in West Philly is walkable from the 63rd St. Market-Frankford line

station; and Vogt Pool, in Northeast Philly, is another big one. Down here, though, Whittle’s partial to the [Marian] Anderson pool. “Everybody thinks their own pool is the best pool, their community pool or their gem in their neighborhood, [but] Anderson is a hidden gem – it’s a very large pool, and I think that’s one where you have everyone swimming together,� she explained. “Whether it’s old, young, African-American, white, you have different people using it, and it just looks like a great place to be.� Bryant helped secure a Knight Foundation grant for the Francisville pool in Fairmount, converting the space for two summers (including this summer) into an even more desirable hangout with furniture and programming. Open late on Mondays with the Pop-Up Pool Project, Francisville brought in aqua zumba and yoga, encouraging some exercise followed by a dip. Bryant, in his research and implementation with the Fairmount Park Conservancy regarding Francisville, found the obvious – private versus public pools aren’t so different, other than the pricetag. You can wait on a list for years for a swim club like the Lombard Swim Club, or shell out $300 for a full membership to the North Shore Beach Club in Northern Liberties, but the public pool system’s free nature is a wonderful equalizer. No one is turned away. “It’s weird because it’s the only type of public space where there’s this huge perception divide between private pools and public pools,� he explained. “Smith Playground, for example, is a very nice playground, but no one assumes that it’s a membership-only playground.� Oh, and on the premise of catching something or getting sick from a swim, Root says “to get sick from any sort of body of water, most of the time, you have to drink it – I don’t know why you’d want to drink chlorinated water.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

veryone eventually says farewell to some sources of fascination, but the preservation of preferences, particularly those from youth and adolescence, can prove incredibly beneficial to one’s artistic impulses. Robert DaPonte has nurtured admiration for “Jaws� for some time and is ensuring that the movie will never grow long in the tooth for his taste through “The Jaws Project,� an homage to the Steven Spielberg masterpiece and the fondness the 36-year-old has for his native New England. “It’s been near and dear to me for so long,� the resident of the 1400 block of South Clarion Street said of the 1975 film that called on Martha’s Vineyard as the location for what an accompanying show release dubs “a legendarily disastrous production that resulted in one of the greatest movies of all time and an unprecedented financial success.� “I wanted to tackle it to tell the story from the per-

spective of the locals who experienced the shoot.� To do so, the Passyunk Square dweller united with South Philadelphia-based peers Sam Henderson and Mary Tuomanen to create “a wicked rude comedy, an unlikely love story, and an unflinching examination of a turning point in American culture.� Handling all of the roles in the devised piece, the trio is presenting the result of regard for the classic through Independence Day, with the Plays & Players Skinner Studio Theater helping them to sink their teeth further into the original’s mystique. “This project is pretty precious to us,� DaPonte said of the brainchild. “I feel amazingly fortunate to be able to team up with Sam and Mary because they’re such respected and passionate members of the Philadelphia theater community.� He approached Henderson last summer when the latter figure was crafting the FringeArts Festival offering “Damned Dirty Apes,� with performances at Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. Sort of forgetting the idea of collaborating, DaPonte jogged his interest when learning of Tuomanen’s enthusiasm for the concept. Taking shape quite quickly once the triumvirate believed it could go swimmingly, “The Jaws Project,�

B?<;IJOB;I through a romance between a production assistant and a Black Dog Tavern bartender, treats what press material describes as “the stark differences between invader and invaded, Hollywood and clannish New England.� “It’s something that we want to use to entertain, so there’s definitely confidence in what we’re staging because we’ve come to everything honestly,� DaPonte said prior to its June 26 premiere. “Because of that, I feel it’s already succeeded. I’m definitely a proud father.�

THE RHODE ISLAND product initially acted as the patriarch of creative writing efforts, beginning his infatuation by penning short stories. Theater eventually became his primary discipline, with enrollment at the since-shuttered Bradford College in Haverhill, Massachusetts serving as the source of a robust attraction to instant gratification. “I tried to do as much as I could and work as much as possible,� DaPonte, who added acting tutelage through the Waterford, Connecticut-situated National Theater Institute,

said of his immersion into stage-based endeavors. “It became so empowering not only to gain experience but also to take part in such a collaborative act and obtain access to an entirely new strata of individuals with similar drives.� Holding that theater “starts and ends with passion,� DaPonte decided to gamble on Philadelphia as the place where he could romance plots and long for opportunities to revisit his writing desires. The now-defunct Mum Puppettheatre granted him his inaugural chance as a City of Brotherly Love inhabitant, with the hire finding himself eager to foster the expanse’s reputation as a welcoming stretch for those with boundless ambition. “There’s definitely work here, and it’s especially exciting to have great connections with people who love to collaborate and create,� DaPonte said. “It’s such an amazing time where there are groups such as Pig Iron Theatre Co., Applied Mechanics, New Paradise (Laboratories), The Berserker Residents, Swim Pony (Performing Arts), and The Bearded Ladies making original work. There’s such a pull to that sort of use

of imagination.� The reverent name-dropper has worked with the South Philly-heavy Berserker Residents and Swim Pony, the latter through the Eastern State Penitentiary-based production of “The Ballad of Joe Hill,� along with local-friendly entities EgoPo Classic Theatre, The Philadelphia Artists’ Collective, and Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St.; Curio Theatre Co.; Hedgerow Theatre; People’s Light; and Shakespeare in Clark Park. While scripted opuses greatly appeal to him, he delights in having opportunities to create from scratch, which counts as one of the many reasons that “The Jaws Project� has become so special for him. “They’ve had a really admirable willingness to tinker and get at the heart of our story,� DaPonte said of Henderson and Tuomanen, who champion local writers through the Orbiter 3 playwrights producing collective. “This has been so much fun that my next show, where I’m just an actor, is going to be a fascinating experience because the preparation and execution are so different.� Once “The Jaws Project,� part of the in-

spiration for which came after his brother’s wedding in Martha’s Vineyard led him to read a book about the filming of “Jaws,� finishes making waves, he will ready himself for his turn as Geoffrey in Commonwealth Classic Theatre Co.’s Drexel University-bound production of “The Lion in Winter� and come the fall, he and the South Philly-rich cast of “Rizzo� will remount the play concerning South Philly native Frank Rizzo through the Philadelphia Theatre Co. Noting that as an actor or actress, one must always face the finality of a job, DaPonte is excited to keep hunting and confronting any barriers to breakthroughs. “Regardless of the location, this city’s theater possibilities are amazing,� he said, noting his fortune over swimming in the same creative waters with many South Philadelphia-based stage pioneers. “It’s those possibilities that keep compelling us all to try to do better.� SPR Visit playsandplayers.org.

guess one could say my relationship with my sister is complicated. No doubt she would agree if she could speak. She’s been in a coma for more than four-and-ahalf years, so she can’t do much of anything except open and close her eyes. Those eyes are still a startlingly beautiful blue color, tinted by a hint of violet. Someone once said of my sister, “Eleanor has eyes like Liz Taylor� (My sister’s name is Eleanor like my mother, whom she battled with most of her life). I wonder, now, what those eyes see and what she is thinking. The doctors tell me there is no sign of brainwave activity, but is it possible in some metaphysical way that she is defying science? It seems as if defiance has always been a big part of my sister’s life. Defying her parents, much to their chagrin. Even defying death. After all, she has been rushed from the nursing home to the hospital numerous times since she suffered an attack of congestive heart failure in 2012 and survived every last one of them. Been on a ventilator and taken off. Somehow found a way to breathe on her own. The last time this happened, the doctor called me and counseled that maybe it was time to place my sister in hospice care. “The efforts to resuscitate her might be causing her pain,� she said. At least that’s what her grimaces told the medical professionals. Heretofore, in the absence of a living will, I had always deferred to keeping Eleanor alive until she herself decided it was time to pass. But during that time, I had always been assured she was being kept comfortable. The end of life can sometimes turn grotesque. I didn’t think Eleanor would want that, so I reluctantly agreed to place her in a hospice. My sister is five years younger than I. She was the apple of my father’s eye. To say that Dad overprotected my sister is like saying the Sixers haven’t won in awhile. He took her to and from work so she wouldn’t have to ride public transit like many working people. He paid her medical insurance while she was single and still living in our household, and later in life purchased a home in Wildwood for her when he was much too old to carry a mortgage. It was understandable, I guess, that, my mother resented all the attention, especially the financial help he showered on Eleanor from their moderate income.

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

After Dad passed, Mom found receipts showing his additional financial help had continued without her knowledge. Even though he was gone, Mom argued with him in her dreams about it. Dad even faced down a notorious mob figure because the mobster’s son had been bullying his grandson. It became the stuff of which family legends are made. When she was around five years old, Eleanor slugged me over the head with one of those wooden pull toys. When I complained, my father said, “You’re five years older than your sister.� End of discussion. You had to look hard to find a time when Eleanor’s life wasn’t troubled, but I found an old photograph from just such a time. My sister was a child of the rock ‘n’ roll era when Elvis mania was beginning to take hold and Philadelphia gave birth to Chubby Checker and The Twist and all those doowop groups. She received a 45 RPM record player one Christmas. She had quite a collection and played them all every day at the volume one can only call “loud.� For a brief time during her high school years, Eleanor even dated South Philly’s own Bobby Rydell. For my sister, the Fifties were her glory days. About that photograph of her I once found... It is black and white, so one really can’t see the blue-violet of her eyes or her blonde hair (like her mother’s). But even in the black and white photo, it is apparent those eyes were something special. She is sitting on the stairway in our house on Fifth Street near Jackson. Her hair is tied in a ponytail, and though she is sitting sideways, her face is turned toward the camera. Her jeans are rolled up in the style of the times. And she is smiling this beautiful smile. The smile seems at first glance secure in the knowledge that she is something special living in special times. But if you look more closely, you can discern the hint of insecurity, the knowledge that this special time will not last. Her future would be mostly one of strife and poor health. My wife and I, along with Jerry, the love of the last part of her life, were in the room at the hospice when they removed the ventilator and tubes from Eleanor. The attending doctor leaned over to me and whispered that my sister would likely last only a couple of minutes, at most an hour. That was five days ago. My sister is still breathing in defiance of the odds. She is being kept comfortable. Jerry by her side. She will pass away on her own schedule, at a time of her choosing. Sometimes you just have to admire defiance. SPR Editor’s Note: Eleanor passed away Saturday, fiour days a fter the composition of this column.. Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

;

any years ago, when I was working for a South Jersey daily newspaper, the food editor asked me if I would like to be a food copy editor as well as a reporter. I jumped at the chance to learn this craft. I soon mastered the Associated Press style and continue to use it today. I learned that a few chefs do not know how to write a recipe and their directions on preparing a dish could be a hot mess. Many do not know how to write a menu. This may explain the terrible trend of listing ingredients, set off by commas, on restaurant menus. It tells the patron little about a specific dish. I had this experience at brunch at Bourbon & Branch in Northern Liberties. I will address this later. The building has been a pub/restaurant since the late Victorian Era. It retains the original tin ceiling and beautifully carved dark wood bar. Simple booths line one side of the main room. Long-time Philly residents may remember the restaurant when it was Liberties. I sipped a well-prepared Bloody Mary ($8), made with Sacramento tomato juice, although I thought it odd when our delightful server asked me if I wanted bacon in it. Whenever I hear the Beatles sing “Eleanor Rigby� and “Come Together,� I am immediately in a good mood. I also had a fine view of a soccer game from my booth. The brunch menu at Bourbon & Branch has something for everyone. It is well-planned even though I thought it odd the restaurant does not serve omelettes. The menu does not describe any dish. There is a heading and then ingredients are set off by commas. Lumberjack scramble ($12) was quite confusing. There are scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, and cheddar cheese in the dish. I ordered my eggs gently scrambled. I asked how the cheese was used and learned it was in the eggs. I nixed the cheese. I also had the choice of potatoes or grits. I always select grits over potatoes. A homemade biscuit with gravy was included. I asked for honey butter in place of gravy. I received overcooked scrambled eggs that

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

were prepared with bits of the aforementioned meats. It looked mighty unpleasant. I thought the meats would be on the side. The replacement was delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The chopped meats were to the side. The grits were stone ground, creamy, and tasty. The grits could have been hotter. I slathered on the whipped honey butter on the biscuit and enjoyed my meal. Buttermilk pancakes ($9) were three jumbo slightly thick and undercooked offerings dusted with a little confectioner’s sugar. Fresh ripe blueberries and strawberries were scattered over the plate. I thought the pancakes could have been a bit hotter. A side of homemade sausage patties ($5) was slightly salty. However, the portion was generous. Coffee ($2.25), served in a mug, was a little on the weak side. Bourbon & Branch is just a few doors down from Green Eggs. There was a line out the door for the latter, just like the one that guests would find at its South Philly location. But Bourbon & Branch had just a handful of patrons. We chatted with a gentleman who turned out to be the owner’s father. He was born in Cuba and came to Philly as a small child. He now lives two months a year in Key West. I found his life story fascinating. We talked about Cuban food and how difficult it is to find authentic Cuban bread outside of Florida and Cuba. I realized that I would like to cook with this man. I could learn much more about Cuban cuisine. Three tips of the toque to Bourbon & Branch. SPR

Ratchada Thai & Laos Cuisine’s Chu Chee Duck

6

aving patronized and lent helping hands to Cafe de Laos, Phanida Kongboon and Sakesun Supasri felt sad when learning of the plan to close the haunt. Eager to have Asian dishes continue to come out of 1117 S. 11th St., the two bought the space and dubbed it Ratchada Thai & Laos Cuisine. Three-and-a-half years after opening the nod to their homeland and its cuisine’s connections to Laotian fare, the coowners find themselves thankful for the receptivity that their brainchild has received. “They love it!� the Passyunk Square-based proprietors simultaneously said of reactions from patrons, particularly Americans, with Kongboon adding that the last 18 months have generated the genial exchanges they had hoped for upon opening. She and her business partner, a resident of the 1700 block of South Chadwick Street, came to the United States with education as their motivation, with the former studying hospitality and the latter earning an MBA in finance. With Kongboon’s drive and Supasri’s youth-heavy food preparation background, along with mutual pride in their heritage’s dishes, they had no fear in establishing a restaurant. “I love cooking,� Supasri said of his vocational prowess, which special menu offerings every three months help to strengthen. “We wanted to take over the space, and we had a feeling that after some time, we would see some good results.� Ratchada has indeed claimed positive regards, with Kongboon noting complimentary Yelp posts from guests who love the 55-seat operation’s ambience and variety. “It’s been a great opportunity to show belief in ourselves,� she said of her first venture in the restaurant world and Supasri’s second. “We appreciate everyone who believes in us, too.� Formerly an inhabitant of the 1700 block of Moore Street, the Overbrook dweller grew up living a very independent life in Bangkok, so Ratchada serves as an extension of her desire for autonomy. She and Supasri elected to share their venue’s recipe for Chu Chee Duck, with the latter individual doubling as Ratchada’s chef. “It’s very popular,� he said of the $18.95 waterfowl plate. “We have good responses from Americans overall, but not many of them know about

Chu Chee Duck, so this is our way to familiarize them with it.� “It’s always been on our menu, so it says so much about us,� Kongboon added, noting that she and her ally include “Laos� in the name of the restaurant because of the country’s influence on the Northeastern part of Thailand’s nutritional identity. “We’re proud to share the recipe because of that.� INGREDIENTS: `]Oab VOZT RcQY TcZZg Q]]YSR O\R ^O`bWOZZg P]\SR $ POaWZ ZSOdSa Qc^ ]T Q]Q]\cb [WZY bSOa^]]\ ]T 1Vc 1VSS Qc``g ^OabS `SR Qc``g ^OabS ]^bW]\OZ bSOa^]]\ ]T U`O\cZObSR acUO` " bSOa^]]\ ]T ^O^`WYO " bSOa^]]\ ]T aOZb bSOa^]]\ ]T QVWZW ^OabS bOPZSa^]]\a ]T VSOdg Q`SO[ b] ^WSQSa ]T RWQSR ^W\SO^^ZS

DIRECTIONS: Combine the Chu Chee curry paste, coconut milk, sugar, paprika, and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat, and add the chili paste, cream, and pineapple slices. Continue cooking on low heat for two to three minutes, stirring occasionally. Fry the roast half duck at 325 degrees until crispy, taking perhaps 10 to 12 minutes. Fry the basil leaves at the same temperature for one to two minutes, and put them on a paper towel for later use. Cut the duck, and place it on a serving plate. Warm the Chu Chee sauce, and pour it over the waterfowl. Garnish with the basil leaves, and serve with Thai jasmine rice and steamed mixed vegetables.

1`ORZW\U VWa Q`OdW\U A Girard Estate resident reveled in a chance to participate in a Central European-situated lacrosse tournament. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

/

WHEN ENTERING THE world of lacrosse, with a camp that occurred during his seventh-grade year at St. Monica School, 16th and Porter streets, proving instrumental, he quickly realized that, at least locally, that it was a very small cosmos comprised of practitioners bent on forming a tight-knit brotherhood. Keen on coupling his enthusiasm with the inherent excitement of the action, he sought to make graduate yet noticeable strides as his comprehension matured, with Roman Catholic High School endowing him with an immense confidence boost. “It was an up and coming program,� he said of his Center City alma mater’s lacrosse status upon his arrival. “I wanted to help us to grow and become a very competitive team in the Catholic League.� Noting that his I.Q. for the game increased each season during his Cahillites tenure, which included the unit’s initial playoff win during his sophomore year, Cerino decided to intensify his intelligence by enrolling at LaSalle University. The North Philly-based institution sated his curiosity for computer systems/information technology and film studies and granted him four seasons to make history as a passionate pursuer of triumphs. “I started at attack my entire time there and had a wonderful set of coaches and teammates who were so dedicated to improving each time we went out there together,� Cerino said of his time as an

Explorer, a stretch that bore the program’s initial winning season during his freshman campaign and eventual conference and national tournament distinction. “It was the perfect place for me to develop and ponder the next set of experiences that I could have through the sport.� Leaving as the school’s all-time leading scorer, he soon returned as a coach, with Roman and Haddonfield, New Jersey’s Paul VI High School also having benefited from his wisdom. His infatuation with fostering focus has also bred junior varsity head coaching duties and varsity assistant tasks for Shawnee High School in Medford and trainer employment at The Field House in Moorestown, which is where he also prepared for the Czech Republic’s early spring congregation. “Last year was amazing, of course, but I was a bit more excited this time because of my familiarity with the tournament and the chance to add a few unforgettable memories,� Cerino said. Finishing fourth in 2015 and fifth two months ago, the Megamen definitely proved large influences on how he will conduct himself as he plots his next excursions. Locally, Cerino plies his trade through Philadelphia Box Lacrosse Association matchups at Rizzo Rink, 1001 S. Front St., with this year marking his fifth season. Next month, he will participate in a charity tournament in Toronto, with that experience serving as a precursor to his longed-for November involvement in a free agent camp for the New England Black Wolves, formerly the Philadelphia Wings, of the National Lacrosse League. “I’m constantly preparing for that,� he said of what he hopes will be a fortunate fall trip to Uncasville, Connecticut. “I’m taking in everything that I can because I absolutely love this game. The more I play, coach, and train, the happier I feel about committing myself to seeing what’s possible for me in following my dreams.� SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

s a South Philly-bred boy, Louis Cerino Jr. loved playing common sports but eventually came to laud lacrosse, holding that in stopping him from following the pack, the game might grant him continuous opportunities to enjoy novelty. The inhabitant of the 2300 block of South 17th Street has indeed found fresh experiences through every stop along his journey, with April having yielded his second trip to the Czech Republic. “To have had such a chance to compete and make friends is going to resonate with me for the rest of my life,â€? the ecstatic athlete said Monday, his 27th birthday. “It’s another step for me in being an advocate for this terrific sport.â€? The Girard Estate dweller ventured to the Central European land as a member of the Boston Megamen, one of 21 teams participating in the AleĹĄ HrebeskĂ˝ Memorial Tournament. The box lacrosse gathering has won global renown, with Cerino happy not only to have represented his country but also to have acquired more belief in his decision to ditch baseball, among other pastimes, for his ever-growing obsession. “I don’t think there’s anything more exciting,â€? he opined of his endearing endeavor. “There’s so much creativity involved and so much to learn about yourself, especially when you’re competing on a big stage.â€? The local and his contemporaries, whose club has won the pageant three times, most recently in 2012, matched their sticks and stamina against those of equally eager adversaries in the municipality of Radotin. Charged with being a transition player, Cerino, who last year notched eight goals, tallied once in his new role and offered outstanding defensive efforts, with his squad dumping Swiss, Austrian, and German units to advance to the quarterfinals, where it fell

4-3 to Finland. Grabbing two victories after that setback, the Megamen finished fifth in the 23rd annual duel. “This has definitely become a way of life for me,� Cerino said, noting how the Czech Republic’s natural beauty served as a perfect complement to the strong bonds formed among the hosts and visitors. “I really want to get stronger in my approach as a player and as an ambassador because all aspects of the game really help me and others to grow. From an individual aspect and a team perspective, it’s as much fun to achieve goals as it is to score them.�
