0`]YS\ gSb P]\RSR Pennsport and Whitman residents are striving to curb the scourge of suicide through neighborhood outreach. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

arol McGuire cherishes having had 48 years to bond with brother Kenny, but, like any loving sister, she wishes she could have enjoyed at least that many more. On May 31, her sibling took his own life, becoming, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the fifth resident in the Pennsport and Whitman neighborhoods to die by suicide this year.

“There is no other pain that is comparable,� McGuire said of having parted with the youngest of her family’s five children. “It’s like living a nightmare each day... “We cry for people and pray for families, but when it hits your door, there’s no greater grief,� McGuire noted of never being able to share another day with Kenny, the flasher of “a beautiful ear-to-ear smile.� “There have to be voices or else, sadly, this will just continue.� With that in mind, McGuire, of the 200 block of Mifflin Street,

and other community residents met earlier this summer in an outreach meeting organized by AFSP and Minding Your Mind. The June 29 gathering drew scores to discuss the recent spate of deaths. At a time when some may gloss over individuals’ woes by saying the nation has far greater health concerns to tackle, these saddened relatives and peers have chosen to focus on each life’s radiance and the constant struggle each separation engenders. More than 40,000 Americans die

by suicide annually, according to health statistics, with white males like Kenny accounting for 70 percent of the tally. A study released in April by the National Center for Health Statistics noted that suicide has reached its highest levels in nearly 30 years, with a staggering 24 percent rise from 1999 to 2014, pushing the death-by-suicide ratio to 13 per 100,000 citizens. Regardless of the statistics, McGuire knows every suicide leaves those left behind with feelASS SUICIDE PREVENTION ^OUS

Donkey see, donkey shoot

othing, especially her identity as a legally blind individual, can darken the desire with which Nanci Sumner walks through life. Fascinated with finding adventure through her figurative steps, the 61-year-old last month enjoyed levity in taking literal strolls, capturing images of the 57 donkey statues that added an artistic component to the Democratic National Convention. “I find so many things interesting, and I’m constantly looking for something to

shoot,� the inhabitant of the 1500 block of South Clarion Street said of her penchant for producing pictures. “This opportunity struck me as very unique, so I wanted to explore and preserve the output of my journeys.� The Passyunk Square occupant commenced her project July 8 through a Center City jaunt that yielded clicks of the New Jersey and South Carolina representations, with fellow South Philadelphia Hawk Krall crafting the Garden State homage. Resuming nine days later, she organized her travels by zip code and covered the others in five days, making the American Samoa tribute at Citizens

Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, her final endeavor. “I was so happy to see all of them, especially because they were so beautiful,� Sumner, who used a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 for the task, said of the creations that proved a hit to locals, visitors, and dignitaries, with Sunday having been the works’ final day in the limelight. “It was definitely one of the toughest assignments because of all the walking involved, but I was really compelled to show my appreciation for such patriotic gestures.� Along with the American Samoa stop, her time in South Philly exposed her to decorated depictions of the charms asso-

ciated with Louisiana at The Philadelphia Clef Club, 738 S. Broad St.; North Carolina through Jim’s Steaks, 400 South St.; Puerto Rico courtesy of East Passyunk Avenue; and Utah and the U.S. Virgin Islands through The Philadelphia Navy Yard, 4747 S. Broad St. The Pennsylvania and New York homages, situated in Center City, easily registered as her favorites, yet no matter the hierarchy, Sumner reveled in focusing on a light contrast to the heavy, often bombastic, political discussions that constituted the convention’s setting within the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. With the guests gone, the speeches wrapped, and the donkeys

To the Editor: I was recently thinking about the many letters that I have written to the South Philly Review and reflected on my first, “Melting The Summer Spirit� July 2012, never dreaming it would be printed. I sent it in on a whim but to my surprise and delight, it ran and so here I am, once again giving my personal view of summer. It felt like an eternity on my walk home the other day because with each step my body felt as if I were walking through an inferno with no escape door. I found that finally making it into my dark, cool home simply was not enough, meaning the next step for me was the freezer, so off I went to open the door and stick my head in there. And since I’m being honest, it wasn’t the first time and

I’m quite sure it won’t be the last! Ahhhh! Finally some relief from the oppressive summer heat!! Please, summer people, do not be offended, just pass this story by and resume your position on the beach because I do not wish to take any “heatâ€? about writing my feelings, no pun intended. Just take it for what it is‌ a humorous rant of an overheated woman and a much-needed break from all of this political mayhem! I prefer cool weather and everything that goes along with it, except of course ice and blizzards, but I must stand by my conviction. I don’t care for this oppressive heat followed by a steamy thunderstorm. Humidity is not your friend; it turns your hair to fuzz, makes it seem that you’ve taken a shower in vain only to hurry home

to take another and feeling quite trapped in the house where the only relief is your beloved air conditioner. I feel the opposite of almost everyone else (in more ways than one) because I seem to come alive in the cool months and feel very uncomfortable and trapped in the hot ones. I do enjoy a day here or there at the Shore, spending an hour or two on the beach, and I must admit that if there is a sea breeze and I put my chair in the water, it could be quite relaxing. I also like wearing summer dresses and having pretty flowers on my porch, but that is about all the good I can say for now. I am basing my frustration on the fact that I am a bona fide city dweller and walker, so these recent heat waves have not been pleasant for me and everyone else I see on the street who look like they’re half dead. These are the individuals who will relate to my story, especially those men and women who brave these extreme elements every day. I do feel your pain and applaud your perseverance. I will end this story the same way that I concluded my first one. I promise I’m not crazy, I’m just HOT!!! Debbie Russino South Philadelphia

ness loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear, the school children having fun in the A.S. Jenks schoolyard (blended with the occasional random firework) and the constant horn honking from the nonstop traffic coming in all directions, there was never a dull moment. When I arrived there for the first time on a chilly winter afternoon back in 1998, it was a foreign territory to a suburbanite such as myself. What is this double-parking routine? Where did I park my car? Joking aside, life at the South Philly Review provided me with many great memories. I never thought the day would come when I would be writing a piece about how the South Philly Review is moving. This place always felt like a home away from home. Some of you may have assumed that the moment our doors closed last Friday, it marked the end of the South Philly Review. Since you are sitting there reading today’s issue, this is obviously not the case. We are in the process of relocating to Broad Street Media’s base of operations in Cherry Hill, N.J. Additional details about a smaller neighborhood space on this side of the Walt Whitman Bridge will be coming soon. The South Philly Review will continue to be the source of All Things South Philly, including the police report, community events, sports, and other hot topics. Our phone number and e-mail addresses have not changed, so continue sharing your news and thoughts – both good and bad — with us. Here’s to the next chapter of the South Philly Review’s story. Now, where the heck did I park my car?

To our Readers: One day in the near future, it might even be today, someone will randomly ask: How many years was the South Philly Review at 12th and Porter streets? The correct answer would be 53 years. It’s a long time to be at one place. Members of the editorial department used to joke around about how 12th and Porter had to be one of the noisiest corners in all of South Philly. Between the interesting characters shouting their personal busi-

eading to the 2400 block of South 24th Street at 2:45 a.m., officers discovered Luke Ellington, of Hattiesburg, Miss., situated in the front passenger seat of a Toyota Tundra with a gunshot wound to his chest. Nearly three hours later, personnel at Penn Presbyterian pronounced the 23-year-old dead. Police interviewed a man who had been in the car with the deceased and learned that someone had fired a gun from across a parking lot. When officers approached the described motorist, he fled in a Hyundai Sonata. They eventually caught up with Ohio resident Sem Savannara and charged him with murder and related offenses. Authorities also stated they found a gun in the vehicle and noted that a 25-year-old female was a passenger in the Sonata yet did not reveal her identity or state whether they will be charging her with anything.

The Philadelphia Police Department’s Special Victims Unit issued details on two South Philly-situated matters. The initial one occurred at 9:30 p.m. July 19 on the 700 block of Morris Street, with the complainant stating that while she was walking along the highway, an unknown Hispanic man approached her, offered her money in exchange for “services� and groped her when she refused his advances. She described him as having short black hair; wearing a black shirt and black sweatpants; and possessing a bike. Thirty minutes later, on the 200 block of Morris Street, a black male approached a woman from behind, struck her on the head, and sexually assaulted her. She described him as being tall; having little hair; and donning black sunglasses. To report information, call the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Morris streets when teenagers on bikes demanded her cash and keys. Obtaining the items, they sped off to Southwest Philly, with authorities initially spotting them at 77th Street and Essington Avenue. A second sighting occurred at 56th Street and Springfield Avenue, with officers not giving chase when the adolescents fled at a dangerous speed. The offenders escaped on foot, reportedly leaving behind two guns, after the vehicle slammed into eight automobiles at 48th Street and Springfield Avenue. According to Detective Danielle Tolliver, of South Detectives Division, an investigation and witness cooperation led to the arrest of the teenagers, whom they charged with criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, making terroristic threats, robbery, and carjacking.

9WR\O^^W\U QOaS The U.S. Department of Justice announced a guilty plea in a South Street-situated kidnapping. On July 25, United States Attorney Zane David Memeger revealed that Nathaniel Rodriguez pled to kidnapping counts in two November incidents. In the first, a victim had to accompany the 41-year-old, whom court records list as having a 19124 zip code, to several automatic teller machines on South Street, with cash coming from one holder. Five days later, another complainant had to drive him from Center City to cash dispensers in Northeast Philly, where he attempted to rid them of cash. Memeger added that Rodriguez forced the second victim to buy him cigarettes before he fled with his prey’s car and cell phone. If authorities find him guilty, he could face a maximum possible sentence of life imprisonment.

of my fortune in taking part in the composition and distribution of community news. You have all made it so easy to care about giving maximum effort. 6) Listening to rants from The Midnight Caller: When I joined the staff, then-managing editor Bill Gelman let me listen to voicemails from a man who would call after business hours, usually between midnight and 2 a.m., to rant about the paper. Once he became editor, the calls intensified, and then when this man started to see my name appear, he would leave me profanity-laced messages teeming with personal attacks and presumptions about my identity. When the publication installed caller ID last year, I was able to determine his identity and called him, leaving him a message to which I have not received a reply. While my move ended his harassment, I must say I will occasionally miss the displays of his narrow mind. 5) Interacting with subjects who came to retrieve copies: How I would love when administrative assistant Cathy Semeraro would call me to say a subject of mine was waiting downstairs to congratulate me on how I represented him or her in the paper. The exchanges occasionally led to great friendships, and I hope I can add a few of those bonds as we plot the next chapter in our existence. 4) Watching folks from my window: South Philly registers as a wonderful place to engage in people watching, and being the curious chronicler that I am, I reveled in looking from my window to catch exchanges among residents and to form narratives for the interesting characters who passed. Thank you for always keeping boredom at bay, unsuspecting journeyers! 3) Taking my son to the office: I occasionally had my son accompany me to the office on the weekend when I needed something for a story, and I would love how professionally he wanted to act, twice saying “Daddy, let me write for your paper.� I may have a future journo on my hands. Keep the presses warm! 2) Approving pages: I became the editor of the Review last September, meaning the honor of approving pages to send to the printer fell to me. As the piles increased each Wednesday, I had a relentless sense of excitement come over me, as I proudly strove to make every piece of content clear and captivating. 1) Receiving emails to say that the paper had gone to the printer: After sending the final page of each issue to our design team, I gladly waited for the email that said everything was safely with our printer. Upon receiving confirmation, I would smile and anticipate readers’ reactions to our stories. That excitement will not wane as we continue to produce material for you. I would venture to say it will grow since you never fail to give us great pitches to present to the masses. SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

wenty years ago this month, The Wallflowers released the single “6th Avenue Heartache.� As Friday marked the final day of a 53-year-run for the South Philly Review at 2448 S. 12th St., I thought of that tune since I am experiencing a case of 12th Street Torment. While the publication will remain strong through a new location, I still feel sad to have needed to vacate the space. I have been with the company since May 10, 2010, meaning I enjoyed ample days and opportunities to develop an affinity for the corner spot. Here are the top 10 activities that I will lament the loss of now that we have said our farewell. 10) Walking past Marconi Plaza: Our old address was an incredibly quick walk from my home, and I always passed Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St., on the way to do my duties. No matter the time of year, the elements, or the congregants, I constantly enjoyed turning my head to the right and feeling left with a great sense of calm. 9) Heading to Big Nick’s: FREE ADVERTISING ALERT! Ha. Over the last year, I often felt an urge to spend a few bucks on nonhome-prepared lunches and to fraternize with the owners of corner stores. Nobody struck me more than Big Nick’s Cold Cuts and Italian Specialties, 1311 W. Moyamensing Ave., where I became known as the “half pound of turkey guy� before anyone knew my name. 8) Making a trip to “The Dungeon�: Dank and dingy, our basement housed our bound annual compilations and copies of current issues, so when someone needed a copy of something pre-Internet times or we had to look at papers for a contest, I made trips to “The Dungeon.� Wishing the dead roaches fun in the afterlife, I scurried back upstairs and made use of the contents I had secured, feeling a sense of gratitude that the South Philly Review has served as a mainstay since 1947. 7) Seeing our delivery truck on Thursdays: I absolutely loved the occasions when my arrival at the paper would coincide with the loading of papers into delivery trucks. No matter my role at the Review, I have forever found issue dates to be compelling reminders

/ ÂľbOWZÂś b] PS b]ZR The Whitman Branch has enlisted a bulldog to help youngsters to gain conďŹ dence as readers. Bella would be a great therapy dog. “She’s a real people person. Because I live in the city, she is always meeting people on the street and being sociable. Because she brought me so much joy in my life and other peoples’ lives, I just thought she would do a great job as a therapy dog,â€? Clark said.

Bella the French Bulldog’s July 25th appearance put attendees at ease as they read tales to her.

by Children’s Librarian Rachel Solomon with fiction tales that feature dogs or nonfiction stories about exceptional canines. Adult/teen librarian and branch manager Becky Shaknovich saw a relationship between PAWS and Whitman as a great opportunity after a visit to her local library, as she went on to say, “I saw that the Fishtown library was doing a ‘read to a dog’ program so I asked them, ‘How did you get this? I would love to do this, too.’� Bella and Tawny were assigned to Whitman after a request through the PAWS website and following the completion of an onsite meeting. While there are many ways that Shaknovich could promote reading within young visitors, the Washington D.C. native felt it was best to use something close to her heart. “I’m a dog person. I have a dog, too, and I think dogs in general are great to help you to feel loved and happy,�she said. Shaknovich’s instinct to forge a partner-

ship with PAWS proved to be a great addition to the library and the children’s reactions are proof as she said, “It’s amazing, the kids are really excited to see a dog in the library and are really happy to try this out. This is great for kids with disabilities and some of the kids that are generally quiet. They come out of their shell.� Although she had the idea to enroll the Whitman Branch in PAWS for Reading, the program would fail without the right dog, and Bella the French Bulldog is definitely that. Bella possess a calm nature that is welcoming to all and a friendly disposition that inspires confidence in apprehensive readers. She has gone through the training that PAWS mandates for its therapy dogs, although Bella had the personality to help people since she was a pup. Clark adopted Bella when she was eightweeks-old, and it’s been a mutual love affair ever since. The pet’s temperament from a young age led her owner to believe that

BELLA WAS AN obvious choice for a therapy dog because she already helped to change her owner’s life. Clark is a former fitness competitor but decided to leave the lifestyle after being diagnosed with binge eating disorder shortly after her first competition and seeing first-hand the unhealthy eating habits that competing can cause. Since her retirement, the Upstate New York native has been very vocal about her struggles with the disorder to bring awareness to the topic. Though Clark faced her difficulties, Bella still remains a constant reminder of the good in her life. “She has brought me so much love and happiness, and another focus beyond myself. I knew she would have the ability to do the same for others,� Clark said regarding her relationship with her loving pet. With great people like Clark, Solomon, and Shaknovich and an exceptional dog like Bella present at Whitman, the PAWS for Reading program will be a long-standing success in South Philly. Shaknovich already has plans to expand the concept as she went on to say “We plan to continue to offer PAWS for Reading programming consistently throughout the year. Tawny and Bella will continue to come back two Mondays each month, and we are planning on adding a second dog and human therapy team to our schedule on Saturdays. Working with PAWS has been amazing, and we hope to partner with them for many years to come�. But while the adults set up schedules and think about logistics, six-year-old Charlotte Gustafson summed up what makes PAWS special, saying, with a big smile, “I wanted to see Bella and read to her.� SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

or some children, there is an ultimate anxiety associated with reading aloud in class. Every syllable is a struggle, and every sentence is a skirmish. The spoken word slip ups make the child even more self-conscious when speaking in front of his or her peers. Insecurities take over as the student’s class participation dwindles from an unwillingness to risk embarrassment. Sadly, the aforesaid scenario is all too true for many children, but the recent partnership by PAWS for People and the Whitman Branch, 200 Snyder Ave., is set to lessen that reality for young South Philly readers. PAWs for People is a non-profit volunteer organization focusing on pet therapy with more than 400 enlisted teams working within a large assortment of programs. The group works with a variety of ages, but PAWS for Reading is prominently for children while being based at numerous midAtlantic libraries. Since July 11, Bella the French Bulldog and human companion Tawny Clark have visited Whitman in association with PAWS twice a month to act as non-judgmental listeners for youngsters ages six to 12 as they read aloud. The books are specially chosen

D;MI SUICIDE PREVENTION continued from page 1 ings of regret, anger, and sadness. But she believes neighborhoods can prove beacons for those in darkness, as that has been the case for her kin, including Kenny’s six-year-old daughter. “I don’t think there’s enough care for sufferers of depression or anxiety,� she said. “It’s easy for people to fall through the cracks as far as the administration of help is concerned. There are people who have very few, if any, people to stand by them, but it’s not an easy road for individuals who have people in their corner.� McGuire became upset when discussing her sibling’s decline, a descent she learned of last Halloween, when he confessed that he could not sleep. His advancing despondency startled her, and she has relied on resolute regard for his memory and his child’s welfare to summon the will to pursue solutions. “It’s still easy to feel as if someone ripped my limbs off,� she said of Kenny’s passing. “However, I have to continue to keep this sadness from harming another household.� That’s exactly what Minding Your Mind is striving to do, according to Drew Bergman, a representative of the group. “We have to be at the forefront of being proactive,� he said. Bergman, a soon-to-be senior at Temple University, addressed the audience at the meeting in June on behalf of Minding Your Mind. Over the last decade, the Ardmore-based entity has provided mental health education to adolescents and young adults, their parents, teachers, and school administrators, aiming to “reduce the stigma and destructive behaviors often associated with mental health issues.� Having struggled with suicidal urges himself, Bergman said he has bettered his

situation and, like McGuire, knows there can be no hesitation in helping those in distress. “We have a great relationship with South Philadelphia, especially when you consider how many children live there,â€? he said of Minding Your Mind’s outreach, which includes interactions with Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School and a few local middle schools. “We did more than 1,100 presentations last year, so we know the significance of being constant sources of hope.â€? WHILE PENNSPORT AND Whitman residents try to fill their fresh voids, others have been working for years to heal their wounds. Jimmy French Sr., for example, lost his son, Jimmy Jr., on July 4, 2013. Three years after the harrowing departure, he admits that certain days prove taxing yet never too daunting to convince him to succumb to dejection. “It still hurts all the time because he was my heart,â€? French, of the 100 block of Mercy Street, said. “It doesn’t get any better, but because of some great people in my life, it doesn’t get any worse either.â€? The proud patriarch explained that Jimmy French Jr. excelled at playing hockey, calling the game his “comfort zone.â€? His son wanted to join the Navy but ended up denied because of melanoma. That led to a bout with depression, but he vowed to vie for a successful life as a paramedic. On a day that one normally celebrates freedom, however, his father had to face the reality of not being able to save his boy, who was within reach of his goal. “I’m not going to lie and say I always keep everything together,â€? French Sr. stated, noting friends of his offspring have since died by suicide, too. “I have gone to meetings, but I repeat myself at them. I don’t often go his gravesite either because I don’t want to talk to a stone.

want to talk to my son.� Thanks to his involvement in the Downtowners Fancy Brigade, and participation in the AFSP’s Out of the Darkness walks in October, he has grown as an advocate, noting “Every day is a learning process because this is the path that my son put me on, that of someone who needs to speak up.� Another who has faced suicide in her family is Kate McGonigle, who lost her 31-year-old son, Thomas Albright, in 2012. She attended her first Out of the Darkness Walk eight months after Thomas’ death. The resident of the 200 block of Greenwich Street confided that his last will and testament, which she carries with her, has eased her heart and soul. “He struggled for so long to believe himself worthy of much,� she said of her

son, a member of the U.S. Navy. “It pains me to think so many other people have those feelings, and it’s so sad each time I hear about another loss, as that news just makes the pain fresh again.� Like McGuire and French, McGonigle will never court pity. The five suicides this year in Pennsport and Whitman have given her added reasons to work on behalf of the cause. On Sept. 10, she’s organizing the Team Albright 1st Annual Chili Cook-off at the Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., to benefit AFSP. “If we can help one person, we know we’re making a difference,� McGonigle said. “We want to help many more because this is a huge issue facing so many communities.� SPR

Donkey see, donkey shoot A visually impaired Passyunk Square dweller explored her fascination with photography by taking pictures of the 57 Democratic National Convention statues. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

<

othing, especially her identity as a legally blind individual, can darken the desire with which Nanci Sumner walks through life. Fascinated with finding adventure through her figurative steps, the 61-year-old last month enjoyed levity in taking literal strolls, capturing images of the 57 donkey statues that added an artistic component to the Democratic National Convention. “I find so many things interesting, and I’m constantly looking for something to

shoot,� the inhabitant of the 1500 block of South Clarion Street said of her penchant for producing pictures. “This opportunity struck me as very unique, so I wanted to explore and preserve the output of my journeys.� The Passyunk Square occupant commenced her project July 8 through a Center City jaunt that yielded clicks of the New Jersey and South Carolina representations, with fellow South Philadelphia Hawk Krall crafting the Garden State homage. Resuming nine days later, she organized her travels by zip code and covered the others in five days, making the American Samoa tribute at Citizens

Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, her final endeavor. “I was so happy to see all of them, especially because they were so beautiful,� Sumner, who used a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 for the task, said of the creations that proved a hit to locals, visitors, and dignitaries, with Sunday having been the works’ final day in the limelight. “It was definitely one of the toughest assignments because of all the walking involved, but I was really compelled to show my appreciation for such patriotic gestures.� Along with the American Samoa stop, her time in South Philly exposed her to decorated depictions of the charms asso-

ciated with Louisiana at The Philadelphia Clef Club, 738 S. Broad St.; North Carolina through Jim’s Steaks, 400 South St.; Puerto Rico courtesy of East Passyunk Avenue; and Utah and the U.S. Virgin Islands through The Philadelphia Navy Yard, 4747 S. Broad St. The Pennsylvania and New York homages, situated in Center City, easily registered as her favorites, yet no matter the hierarchy, Sumner reveled in focusing on a light contrast to the heavy, often bombastic, political discussions that constituted the convention’s setting within the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. With the guests gone, the speeches wrapped, and the donkeys

B?<;IJOB;I preserved, she loves that she devoted six days to honoring art and our states’ rich histories. “In the grand scheme, what I did is not that monumental,� Sumner opined. “I’ve never wanted to let my impairment define me or intimidate me, so I chose this idea as a way to show that I love having chances to be observant. Because of my condition, I am someone who takes nothing for granted, so why wouldn’t I want to go out and look at such amazingly intricate works of art? It was an honor to see such talent.� THE GRATEFUL VIEW seeker would win anyone’s regard over how well she has kept herself from ever succumbing to self-pity. At age 5, she underwent the first of the seven surgeries that have occurred over her six-decade existence and still anticipates the moment when her vision can be a vision of perfection. “I love to discover and analyze so much about the physical world,� the Oxford, Pennsylvania product declared. “Who knows what the future holds, but I know

I’ll approach each day optimistically.� An alumnus of the Overbrook School for the Blind, the location of the inception for her sharp focus on photography, Sumner busied herself for the professional world by attending business school in Pittsburgh. Concluding her time in the Steel City, she determined that she wanted to work in Philadelphia, where she moved in 1974. “The city just appealed to me then and continues to do so today,� she said of the metropolis, with Center City, West Philly, and South Philly engendering 42 years of bliss, including 18 years in Passyunk Square. “There is so much to inspect and so many experiences to have if you’re willing to put in the time.� Following a 35-and-a-half-year stint as a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania clerk/ typist, Sumner retired March 19, 2010 and sought new adventures to support her creed of the joys inherent within being active. Her conversion to Catholicism through St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, 910 Watkins St., placed her in contact with the lively and lovely Barbara Ricci,

with the Girard Estate denizen encouraging her to join The South Philadelphia Lions Club. “I’m so fortunate to be around such an amazing set of people,� Sumner stated of her nearly six-year affiliation with the 81-year-old organization well-regarded for altruistic measures that include Christmas luncheons for blind and visually impaired adults and children and another for Hispanic youths through St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 1719 Morris St; annual scholarships endowments to a quartet of local learners; volunteer efforts for the Ronald McDonald House; and banquets for outstanding football players form South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. “There’s such a message of positivity behind everything they do that it’s easy to want to contribute to their mission.� She calls on her camera as her companion for the club, regularly shooting its events, including its Monday presence at Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St., for the National Night Out kickoff. The day before, her adoration of automobiles

made automatic her presence at the East Passyunk Car Show and Street Festival, where she also used her lens to laud the scenery. With her donkey duties done, Sumner has not elected to let her creativity lapse and spoke fondly of projects inspired by her awareness of the tune “You Can’t Get to Heaven on the Frankford El� and admiration for the Philadelphia Walk of Fame plaques. Set to celebrate her anniversary as a South Philadelphia Aug. 29, the affable individual, who donned a South Philly Forever shirt for her South Philly Review interview, loves the photographic and interpersonal possibilities that the expanse easily breeds. “If you live here long enough, it feels as if you’ve been here forever,� Sumner offered. “I’ve had great experiences in my neighborhood, and I think my photography has gone a long way toward helping me to become more aware of my surroundings. I’d say it’s made me much more compassionate, too.� SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

f there is one subject on which America is not divided, it’s the media. Whether it’s politics or sports. Whether someone is for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, or Bernie Sanders. No matter what the subject. The consensus is the media are the bad guys. I guess it’s self-serving for me to defend the media. I have no exaggerated feelings about the impact of a columnist for a weekly newspaper. You shouldn’t either. My livelihood does not depend upon my writing this column. Rather than having an axe to grind, if I have a bias in favor of the media, it’s more the size of a penknife with an exceedingly dull edge. So here goes. In a sense, the term “media� is a terribly inexact noun to describe the myriad sources of information available to the public today. From the South Philly Review to the New York Times and the blogs on the Internet, from WPHL-17 to Fox News and CNN to the major television networks, there are far too many differences to paint the media with the same broad brush. Gone are the days when there were multiple print media outlets in many towns and cities. Even the number of independently owned radio and TV outlets has shrunk. The influence once enjoyed by the news anchors of the three major networks has all but disappeared with the rise of 24-hour cable news. At one time, network news operated independently of the entertainment division. No longer. The need for network news to make a profit has affected the coverage of news in a profound way, most, if not all, of it negative. Once a major influence on public opinion, many magazines are no longer even in business. The Federal Communications Commission no longer operates under a “Fairness Doctrine� requiring a radio or TV station to air both sides of an issue. The public can now get its news and information almost entirely with just one point of view. Conservatives who long complained about media bias (and still do) now have Fox News and numerous talk radio stations. Liberals have not fared as well in the competitive environment, but do have MSNBC. Many folks live in a bubble where they have only their own views reinforced. When the public is exposed to other viewpoints, many of them complain about the lack of perceived fairness. People, to a large extent, have been conditioned to hearing and seeing only what corroborates their own view of the world. I have learned that, in my own case, readers often don’t distinguish between opinion

pieces and objective news stories. They complain that this column reflects only one point of view, which is true. The point of view expressed in the column is my own and only my own. You may or may not agree with that point of view, but neither I nor my newspaper makes any claim that the viewpoint is anything but my own. Expecting one’s own point of view always to be reinforced and confusing the role of a columnist with that of an objective reporter are a couple of the reasons for the constant media bashing. The current political campaign may elevate media bashing to the status of an Olympic sport. You can hardly get through one of Trump’s speeches without him taking off after the media. Most of the media are “dishonest,� he charges. Trump’s test for media dishonesty seems to be whether he is asked a tough question from a reporter. Indeed, Trump goes so far as to complain that the TV cameras refuse to show the size of his crowd (or maybe the size of his hands). Ironically, he would not have come close to winning the Republican nomination without extensive media coverage. Because of the free coverage, he didn’t have to spend much money on TV ads. The other 16 Republican hopefuls for the presidential nomination were bitter about the way they had difficulty getting their message heard. But Trump isn’t the only political candidate to use the media as a scapegoat. Sanders complained long and loud that the media was biased toward Hillary Clinton. Some supporters railed against the “corporate� media, such as the New York Times and Washington Post. That didn’t stop some Clinton supporters from complaining that Hillary got too much media scrutiny. This is not to say that there isn’t some truth in all of these claims. Trump did get an inordinate amount of coverage, but that’s because he was more adept at drawing viewers. Without him, the viewership for the Republican debates would’ve been lower than that of reruns of “Law & Order.� Sanders didn’t get much coverage early on because he wasn’t viewed as a serious contender. But once he began to draw large crowds, the coverage was there. Most of it positive. Clinton did get tougher coverage, but it was largely because she entered the race with a controversial track record formed over more than 20 years in the spotlight. Why should anyone be concerned about the media getting slammed? Why should we indulge the media’s thin skin? Because those who insist that the media regurgitate only their own viewpoint diminish the media’s own credibility. When they diminish the media’s credibility, they allow a Donald Trump to revoke the credentials of the Washington Post to cover his appearances. In effect, we make possible the loss of a free press. That’s why. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

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

:

ast year I decided to review all the steakhouses in town. During last week’s Democratic National Convention, it occurred to me that I should review all the hotels that serve Sunday brunch. I called Sofitel Philadelphia, but, unfortunately, it stops serving Sunday brunch at noon. Actually, the overseers call it breakfast even though the menu sure looks like brunch. The Hotel Palomar is just across from the Sofitel. The gentleman who answered the phone said, “Come on over. We serve brunch until 2 p.m.� The restaurant is called Square 1682 because it is near Rittenhouse Square and 1682 was the year Philadelphia was founded. The kitchen is in the capable hands of Executive Chef Caitlin Mateo. She may be the only hotel executive chef in the city. I will keep a tally. The restaurant is upscale casual with a welcoming bar, a TV so we can yell at the Phillies, comfortable leather chairs, and a menu that lists something for everyone. I was most impressed by it. A glass of sparkling rose from Spain ($11) kicked off a lovely afternoon. Our roomy table was situated up against a large picture window. Natural sunlight is always best. Bacon-wrapped dates ($8) was a tasty way to begin brunch. Four naturally sweet dates mingled with the slightly smoky salty flavor of bacon. The sauce was a creamy mustard vinaigrette laced with bits of red piquillo peppers. Bits of local goat cheese were an added attraction. The yogurt parfait ($12) arrived in a bowl. Parfait glasses remind me of my childhood. No matter. Rich Greek yogurt, laced with vanilla, was topped with crisp homemade granola and a generous sprinkling of blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Regular readers of this column know I believe the pancakes served at Hawthornes, 738 S. 11th St., and at Kraftwork are the best in town. Mateo’s version is now added to the list. One can order a short stack or a large stack. The large stack ($13) consisted of four piping hot fluffy flapjacks that would delight kids and grownups. Diners get a choice of plain, banana, or blueberry. The Jersey blues are in high season now. Their sweet/ tart flavor is the hallmark here. The berries were mixed into the batter and, when cooked, a handful was scattered across the plate. The pancakes were topped with a light dusting of confectioner’s

sugar, and a small pitcher of real maple syrup came with them. One taste and I knew it was not Mrs. Butterworth’s. A side of pork roll ($5) was in order here. This savory treat is a Philly/South Jersey tradition. It was grilled and served on a side plate. Two farm fresh eggs served any style ($13) with a choice of ham, bacon, or chicken sausage was just what I craved at the moment. I like gently scrambled eggs. Serving overcooked, dry, rubbery eggs amounts to culinary treason. Mateo must use jumbo eggs because the luscious serving on my plate appeared to be more than two eggs. They were creamy and arrived piping hot. I can’t tell you how many times I have been served lukewarm or cool eggs, either scrambled or formed into an omelette. The ham imparted a slightly sweet flavor that I liked. A toasted English muffin took me right back to my childhood when I watched television commercials for English muffins, which, when toasted, allow soft butter to nestle into the nooks and crannies. Soft butter piped into a rosette, and a small dish of homemade sour cherry jam came with the muffin. I was in culinary heaven. Oven roasted potatoes were browned and crisp. They could have been a wee bit hotter. During brunch, we chatted with our server about the guests Philadelphia hosted last week. He told us it was delightful to have them. “It was hectic, but it was also a lot of fun,� he explained. Because Square 1682 is located at 17th and Sansom streets, I took some time to window shop on Walnut Street. I also made some fine purchases (read really on sale items) at Talbots and spoke with a delegate from Pittsburgh. She decided to stay the entire weekend. Three-and-a-half tips of the toque to Square 1682. SPR

Shank’s Pier 40’s Original Roast Pork

1

hallenges come with every vocation, as Ed Brennan knows well through handling labor and food service industry responsibilities. Faced in early adulthood with the often perplexing task of choosing a stable and fulfilling field, he elected to fortify stomachs over buildings and has enjoyed a four-and-a-half-year tenure as the general manager at Shank’s Pier 40, 901 S. Columbus Blvd. “This definitely beats carrying sheetrock up three flights of steps,� the 33-year-old remarked outside his Queen Village-situated workplace. “I really like it here because we do our best to honor our customers when they come here looking for the highest quality products.� The resident of the 400 block of Jackson Street enjoys carrying on the tradition that Shank and Evelyn Perri began in 1962 at 10th and Catharine streets. Columbus Boulevard has welcomed patrons for seven years, with Brennan happy to hawk the goods after never having been a guest. “I’d heard of it, of course, but coming here to work was my first experience with the dedication that you’ll find when you come here,� the Whitman dweller said. “I enjoy the whole idea of cooking and seeing reactions to what we make. The compliments make everything more worthwhile.� Brennan came to Shank’s following a turn at Two Street Pizza and employment for sandwich behemoth Tony Luke, first through Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, and then at his commissary location at Fourth and Morris streets. On his watch, he has helped owner Joe Renzi’s establishment to claim additional regard as a community and citywide treasure, with a Best Hot Sandwich Award through Sportsradio 610 WIP’s Hot Sandwich Safari as proof of the latter distinction. Though hoagies and egg sandwiches will not disappoint, Brennan knows Shank’s will always win more favor for its slightly more carnivorous options and agreed to share the site’s Original Roast Pork recipe. “It’s a very, very good sandwich,� he de-

clared of the $7.25 item. “If you’re going to make it at home, you’re going to have to be patient, but it’s definitely worth the wait.�

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place the pork in a large roaster pan, and add the other ingredients as seasonings. Cook for five to six hours, occasionally basting the pork with juice from the bottom of the pan. Remove from the oven, and take the pork out of the pan, letting it rest in a second holder. Cool, and refrigerate while preparing the juice. Remove the carrots and the onions from the pan, and strain the juice, discarding the excess bay leaves and seasonings. Place the pork drippings in a separate saucepan, and add pork bones and skins, the carrots, celery, onions, fresh chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and cold water. Cook on low heat to boil, and then simmer. Cook the juice approximately four hours on low heat, which will result in a 50-percent reduction. Once the time has elapsed, strain the juice. Trim the fat from the pork, add the juice, and heat to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Serve on fresh Italian bread with the toppings of your choice. Shank’s Pier 40 recommends, among others, sharp provolone, spinach, broccoli rabe, and long hots. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

PokĂŠmon GO enthusiasts spent an hour bonding over their infatuation with the nearly month-old iOS and Android-friendly phenomenon. P h o t o s b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

BVSg¸`S UO[S T]` bVSW` UO[S Pupils at a Packer Park martial arts entity ventured to Marconi Plaza to enjoy an immensely popular augmented reality diversion. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

;

any individuals have long lauded martial arts as a means to engage in figurative discoveries of talents and temperaments. As the owner of and head instructor at the Martial Arts Hero Factory, 1532 Packer Ave., John McGonigle Sr. prides himself on assisting in the exploration process and helped some of his registrants to experience literal observations Saturday, as learners spent an hour covering Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St., through his entity’s PokĂŠmon GO Hunt. “It’s just really cool to play,â€? eight-year-old Nicky DelBuono Jr. said during the afternoon celebration of the nearly month-old augmented reality game. “I like that it lets me go on little adventures and have fun.â€? The resident of the 2800 block of South 15th Street has found himself captivated since the July 6 release date, with the location-based diversion being yet another PokĂŠmon franchise offering for him to adore. Through a smart device’s GPS and camera, the Niantic product allows iOS and Android users, dubbed “trainersâ€? for playing purposes, to capture, battle, and instruct virtual creatures whose screen appearances share the same real-world locations as giddy youths and adults. Having exceeded 100 million download installations, it has surely, despite ample criticism of it as just another mindless escape, come to capture the world’s attention, with the seven assembled children eager to bond and collect efficiency prizes from overseer John McGonigle Jr. “This is going to be so much fun,â€? Nicky, with his patriarch beaming over his enthusi-

asm, said as the occasion commenced. “I like that people from the school are here, too.� Brother and sister Robert and Julia Bongiovanni and cousin George Squilla joined the Marconi inhabitant and seven-month hero factory presence at the plaza, braving the heat for a chance to strengthen their familial bonds. Already keen on a career as a paleontologist, George will certainly gain valuable exposure to actual life forms, making the gathering a nice variation considering the game’s augmented identity. “I appreciate all the extra-curricular involvement that they offer,� father Brian Squilla said of the McGonigles. “George became involved

right around the beginning of summer, so it’s great to have something to complement what he’s learning just as another way to have fun.â€? The Siena Place youngster relied on Robert for pointers, with the DelBuonos explaining that the game’s ultimate goal calls for participants to complete the entries in the PokĂŠmon encyclopedia, the PokĂŠdex, by capturing and “evolvingâ€? to obtain the original PokĂŠmon, 151 in all. “We could be here for a bit,â€? the elder Squilla quipped. PERPETUALLY RESPONSIVE TO suggestions on how to infuse his pupils with a greater sense of

their connections as learners inside and outside of his space, McGonigle Sr. enjoyed offering the hunt as another chance for them to become even more disciplined and diligent children. “Today is another day to solidify their friendships and self-esteem,â€? the 5th Dan said of the excursion. “I decided to put it together a couple weeks ago because PokĂŠmon GO has become this phenomenon.â€? The resident of the 1000 block of Carpenter Street started martial arts at age 10. Now 45, the Bella Vista occupant cherishes the lessons acquired along his journey, with the sensei having offered instruction and training through the factory model for 23 years. Seventy-five students across six groups benefit from the McGonigle clan’s expertise, with the family eager to interact with more locals and to be a community benefactor, which it is indeed being through the Providing Resources for Educational Participation initiative by collecting school supplies through Aug. 27. “It’s a really great pace for these kids to grow,â€? DelBuono Sr. said as the hour concluded and McGonigle Jr. gave out prizes, with Nicky capturing the Best Dressed PokĂŠmon Trainer title. “This is a great idea, too, to get them outside to enjoy something that’s very current and so much fun.â€?
