aybe I’m guilty of being an idealist, but I’d thought my neighborhood was relatively safe,” Carol Lanni said Friday from her home on the 2600 block of South Bouvier Street. “I’d never thought something like this would happen, but now my eyes are fully open.” The 43-year-old Girard Estate dweller has been stressing similar safeguarding since her 11-year-old son Raymond’s Aug. 3 encounter with a thieving teenager. She addressed her angst the next day by creating Taking Our South Philadelphia Streets Back, a Facebook page that at press time had exceeded 2,000 likes, and is leading to calls for unified efforts against crime.

Using an image of Rocky as the page’s profile picture, Carol Lann is up for engaging in the fight of her life to salvage solid futures for South Philly neighborhoods and children.

Police are seeking a Whitman man who is allegedly part of a team that has committed 10 overnight burglaries since May 5.

If there is one thing that unites voters — Republicans and Democrats — it is the feeling they have lost control of their lives. People blame different institutions for this (Republicans tend to blame big government while Democrats often see big business), but in some ways, both are right.

Word on the Street

Do you think public schools will open on time?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope so. It is a major priority for the city. Education is a real need for children. I hope the City takes its education seriously in the way they should.â&#x20AC;? Jeff Richmond-Moll, Passyunk Avenue and Greenwich Street

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they will. Many parents are upset about this, including myself. When [Gov. Tom Corbett] took over, we lost a lot of money for our schools.â&#x20AC;? David Poe Sr., 10th and Reed streets

An educational message To the Editor: Parents United for Public Education supports the call of the Philadelphia delegation for the state to immediately release the $45 million due to the Philadelphia public schools, but we want to be clear: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough. The $45 million is federal money already due to the Philadelphia schools. For the state to hold it hostage in order to force unreasonable demands on hardworking teachers and staff is an outrage. Moreover, even when the state releases the $45 million, its emergency contribution to addressing the crisis within a system they have run for more than a decade remains a pathetic $2 million. As parents, we call upon the city and state to fund the schools according to the demand the district

laid out clearly last spring and summer: $120 million from the state (of which it has delivered $2 million), and a minimum of an additional $50 million from the city (it has already delivered $28 million). Moreover, we demand that the district redo its school budgets to demonstrate how these funds will adequately, equitably and safely staff our schools for the entire school year. We want assurances that there will be a guidance counselor in every school building, and that aides, teachers, assistant principals, librarians, nurses, extracurriculars and book and supply money be restored both equitably and adequately. The district should not open in September unless parents can see that our schools are safe and adequately staffed and funded. We do not want money to open build-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the school district is trying to hold everyone hostage. They will get the $50 million to open, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. Someone needs to pay attention to what is going on with the money.â&#x20AC;? Barbara Russella, 11th and Daly streets

know this is one of the top three dirtiest cities. Our goal is to do this the first Saturday of every month. The city helped with the equipment and trash disposal plan, but we need more citizen participation. After our event, I had a brief exchange with Joe Suchma of the Newbold Neighbors Association, a civic group serving from Broad to 18th, Washington to Passyunk. I feel if properly advertised we will attract like-minded people who care about the condition of our city. Our hope is this turns into a small, routine event where the majority of citizens participate, and it spreads throughout the area. Some people already have said this will not work, but I think if we expect more from people, they will do more.

nvestigators believe about six people have been working together to break into banks and pharmacies across the city, with the most recent incidents occurring in Packer Park and Whitman Monday. Police have identified one suspect — Dennis Woods, aka Dennis Boyce, 37, of the 2400 block of South American Street — as one of the men allegDennis Woods edly responsible for 10 burglaries that have spanned from Northeast to Southwest Philly and resulted in huge monetary losses and property damage, Lt. John Walker of Southwest Detective Division said at a press conference Monday evening. Woods, a Deptford, N.J. native, and the other burglars allegedly work in teams, with one crew cutting the power lines, one man staying behind to see if police respond and another group returning later in the night with the tools necessary to break in to steal narcotics from pharmacies and/ or money from ATMs, Walker said. “We know they’re a bunch of amateurs, but obviously they’re organized in that they’re able to do the things they need to do to prevent the police from coming, so they do have some organization,” Walker said. At 5 p.m. Sunday, two people cut the

power at PNC Bank, 1544 Packer Ave., and two hours later, they performed the same task at Wells Fargo Bank, 2710 S. Third St., police said. At 4:25 a.m. Monday, three people returned to Wells Fargo with a blowtorch and gained access through a rear door. They attempted to pry open the vault and torched the ATM for about 25 minutes, but instead of opening the machine, they ignited a fire, which may have caused them to panic, as they fled with nothing and did not return to PNC, police said. “As a result of those two incidents, we looked back through a series of burglaries and break-ins at pharmacies and banks that occurred throughout the city,” Walker said. Investigators determined the group has attempted to burglarize six bank ATMs plus two more at pharmacies, successfully gaining access to four of them and taking more than $100,000, and stole various narcotics from four pharmacies. Their methods of entry have varied, but have included utilizing a front and rear door, a basement and an adjoining brick wall to access a building. The conspiracy began May 5 at Northeast Philly’s Delaire Pharmacy where they took various drugs. On June 22, they entered Northern Liberties’ Hyperion Bank and burned through an ATM, taking $47,000. In a Southwest Philly Rite Aid, they stole narcotics from two safes and an unknown amount of money from an ATM and a lottery machine. Five days later, they accessed a PNC Bank in Northeast Philly where they swiped $60,930

Balance beams Fourteen South Philly residents are helping an LGBT theater festival to address life’s somber and thrilling moments. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

mong the numerous matters that perplex people in their search for happiness, Zachary Chiero knows those involving the heart can daunt even the most ambitious individuals. Eager to gauge how sexual identities can assist or sully their quests, the resident of the 500 block of Christian Street is portraying Evan, the solution-seeking lead in the Philadelphia premiere of “The Homosexuals,” one of four plays in Quince Productions’ third annual GayFest! Along with testing his acting acumen, the one-act creation is affording him the chance to work with six other South Philly-based performers and Lower Moyamensing-situated director Sarah J. Gafgen. “Regardless of whether someone is gay or straight, we all have daily struggles, so along with issues directly relevant to the gay community, this work explores our commonalities,” Chiero said of the Philip Dawkins-penned piece. “Certainly the material is heavy at times but also quite funny.” The Queen Village dweller is making his second appearance in GayFest!, through which its five-year-old overseer is using four Center City venues for its typical top draws. He, Gafgen and Dexter Anderson, a 10th-and-Fitzwater-streets inhabitant who also tackles a provocative role in the festival’s world premiere of “Someone Brought Me,” have 11 peers in the shows, with their collaboration featuring an all-South Philly cast. “Our neighborhoods have many talented entertainers, so it’s enlightening to witness their combined enthusiasm,” Gafgen said. The resident of the 900 block of Ritner Street has frequently contributed to Quince’s quest for presenting quality productions and gladly accepted producing artistic director Rich Rubin’s offer to helm “The Homosexuals.” Set in Chicago, the examination of dilemmas and hopes among contemporary gays appealed to Gafgen because of its looks at friendship, patience, tolerance and self-worth. “We’re all enthused about telling an honest story,” the New Jersey native said of her management of the nearly two-hour study. “It’s one of the most exciting projects I’ve had the chance to work on because it can offer so many lessons and inspire tons of

points of view.” She and her charges commence the play in 2010, with Chiero’s character, a recent Iowa transplant, engaging in his customary search for emotional attachments. The action works backwards to ’00 in two-year increments, with Gafgen using visual aids to chronicle a decade’s worth of prominent events within gay culture, including national perceptions of the hot-button issue of gay marriage. “We’re not preachy with what we address,” Chiero said, adding the script touches briefly on the AIDS crisis, too. “We’re showing real people dealing with real things.” The thespian, whose boyfriend, Shamus Hunter McCarty, is joining him in the play, finds its romantic elements intriguing yet also wishes to give credence to its treatment of companionship. Anderson, whose character, Collin, develops a five-year relationship with Evan, likewise feels nonsexual unions come through as poignant parts of Dawkins’ script.

Dexter Anderson, from left, Sarah J. Gafgen and Zachary Chiero have six more opportunities to treat audiences to examinations of love and loss. S ta f f P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

“I saw something thi th id th thatt said the average friendship lasts seven years,” the Bella Vista denizen, who is making his Philadelphia debut, said. “I think this play wants us to analyze what we do when people come along and what happens when we say ‘goodbye’ and don’t even know what becomes of them. That can also lead us to understand we have to be mindful of how much emotion we put into something.” FOR CHIERO, WHOSE resumé includes eight productions with the Center City-based Enchantment Theatre Co., which offers productions geared toward young audiences, “The Homosexuals” provides a unique opportunity, as its backwards progression sees Evan becoming less self-aware and more confused.

“That’s a huge challenge but a welcomed one because I am looking to see how to play him the best,” he said of the role he is handling through Aug. 24. “We all have our little tasks and by the end, we’re all wondering who our characters have been and who they might become.” Anderson is experimenting with novelty, too, as the heterosexual actor has needed to make sure he does not offend anyone with an over-the-top performance that could lead to accusations of stereotypical portrayals of homosexuals. Regardless of his or his character’s sexual orientation, he knows patrons want heartfelt tales, and he reveres his opportunity to devote his allegiance to the material. “There’s so much soul-searching in these works,” Anderson, who is shedding any inhibition with full-frontal nudity as The Boy, a downtrodden component of Daniel Talbott’s “Someone Brought Me,” said. “It’s pretty neat to identify with what everyone’s going through on stage.” The world premiere of “Cold” and the Philadelphia debut of “The New Century” round out the quartet of pieces, with Quince also presenting readings and what it has dubbed “one-night stands,” which will include evenings devoted to cabaret, sketch comedy and transgender issues. “With ‘The Homosexuals,’ we have all these characters bringing different perspectives to Evan,” Gafgen said of a compelling component of the work. “With all those points of view swirling around, we’re really looking to address how individuals manage themselves in preparation for their relationships and friendships.” “We’re definitely not all the same,” Anderson added, noting his character encourages Chiero’s to believe that good can come from being a persistent believer in oneself. As the play works backwards and addresses pluses and minuses along the march to maturity, one could wonder who the characters could become if allotted more time. “I think all the shows want audiences to ask that because it’s human nature to have expectations,” Chiero said. “Life has ups and downs, and it’s vital to learn from each.” SPR For tickets, visit quinceproductions.com.

TAKING BACK continued from page 1 transgressions, she also knows youths often engage in misbehavior, so with her son’s matter still causing her strife, she sees the younger set’s welfare as more pressing. “I have to blame parents for what’s becoming of many of these kids,” Lanni said. “Many of them are too worried about their own lives and more interested in being their children’s friends and not their parents, and they’re the first ones to say ‘Not my kid’ when something happens.” NOT DESIRING TO conduct a witch hunt unt for lackluster guardians, the budding leader yearns to have them realize the severity of their minimized roles and help them to see their children can go from victimizing to being victimized. To combine her concerns for grown-ups and youngsters, she is striving to form a town watch and, in the wake of last week’s National Night Out, is uniting with local businesses that will display red ribbons to alert endangered individuals as to where to go for help and with agencies to have talks on such topics as safety and self-defense. “She just needs to attract the interest and go ahead,” Paul Bryson, the 1st District’s community relations officer, who has had talks with Lanni, said. According to the resident of the 2600 block of South Front Street, the addition would become his district’s third town watch and would likely go a long way to helping Lanni to serve as “the eyes and ears of the police.” “My goals are to heighten awareness and

Carol Lanni, who designed her Facebook page’s logo, hopes her neighborhood will include a town watch plaque and committed helpers. S ta f f p h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e a n d i n s e t P r o v i d e d b y C a r o l L a n n i

get our kids educated, and I highlight these themes on my Facebook posts,” the focused figure, who will hold a 6:30 p.m. meeting Sept. 9 at Barry Playground, 1800 Johnston St., said. “We need people involved because it’s gotten to the point where people don’t want to go out, but they have to and must do so in full force.” When Lanni and her allies unite at the Marconi recreational spot, Jody Della Barba will appear to iterate the community-atlarge’s problems stem from an erosion of family values. Likewise contending that many parents have checked out as overseers, the head of the Girard Estate Area Residents civic believes children are living in the worst era for bullying and require immediate intervention.

Amedee Bregy Elementary, 1700 Bigler St., Anjolia Amicone, left, with a $50 Visa gift card Aug. 8. The student was the June 3 recipient of the South Philly Review’s Youth Appreciation Award. Ellen Duong and Sophia Elliot, both from Julia R. Masterman, Pity Inthavong from Bregy, Amber Ruan from George Sharswood School and Christine Tumbel from Edward Bok Tech also were among the final group of honorees for the 2012-13 school year.

“When I look at overall crime, it seems we’re becoming like the Wild, Wild West,” the resident of the 2500 block of South 18th Street said. “This is the worst that kids have been in some time, and so many of them lack any concern for the repercussions of their actions.” “Many do lack empathy and sympathy,” Lanni added. “For the ones who involve themselves in crime, it’s their way of coming to think they don’t need to work to achieve what they want in life.” Fearing negligence will spawn future crimes, the ladies hold that extra eyes will mean more calls to the police, which could bring more uniformed personnel to their neighborhoods. “We don’t want to put people in harm’s

way or be vigilantes,” Lanni, who is constantly seeking resources to tout her crusade for comfort, said of her connections with neighbors and strangers. “We just want people, especially kids, to wake up.” Meeka Outlaw, who like Della Barba has become a fan of the Facebook page, refuted the notion that one should blame children’s summer vacation for the increase in ordeals, which Lanni said also includes the detonation of firecrackers in a child’s pocket at Barry Playground. “It’s definitely not a seasonal matter,” the resident of the 2600 block of Wharton Street and head of Residents Organized for Advocacy and Direction said, “because even when they’re in school, some come with so much baggage and aggression, getting through to them is difficult.” Having crafted an 11-year teaching career, Outlaw noted she has observed “different types of bad” among her charges, and like her peers, she cannot recall a more confusing time for rearing youngsters. She feels adults are likewise suffering, with the lack of employment opportunities, especially for Grays Ferry dwellers, as a gloomy cloud hanging over their hopes. “I often think we’re just an explosion waiting to happen,” the educator, who would like to have a town watch for her expanse, said. “A child’s first teacher is a parent, and I’ve always seen parents as coaches and teachers as assistants. That’s kind of gone away.” “You’ll never hear me say I have all the answers,” Lanni added. “What I do know is our kids, both those involved in nonsense and those not, are vulnerable. My son had nothing physical happen to him, but what about next time?” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

can’t get enough of what I do,” Tommy DelCorio Jr. said last week of his infatuation with singing. “I’m like a fat man at a buffet.” The 58-year-old product of the 500 block of Wilder Street will gorge on appreciation for his musical forbearers Sunday night when he joins three other crooners for a Swingin’ the Standards concert at the Adrienne Theatre. In making his debut at the Center City playhouse, he will use the evening to commend time-tested tunes’ influence on his artistry, which includes an irrepressible infection by the acting bug. “My interests cover the gamut of the music world, but the standards are the best, and I believe they’ll be around for another 100 years, at least,” the Dickinson Square West native and Williamstown, N.J. resident said. “I’m happy to have any opportunity to help people to love them even more.” Finally able to synchronize schedules after a few discussions, DelCorio and his peers each will handle four songs at the Adrienne, which holds bimonthly shows celebrating contributions to the Great American Somgbook, with the former South Philly dweller to honor Frank Sinatra with his selections and

LIFESTYLES other artists through their finale. DelCorio has won many audiences over for his treatment of the legendary performer’s catalogue, including praise from patrons at the 2011 Count Basie Theatresituated Sinatra Birthday Bash in Red Bank, N.J. Lauding the deceased figure for his impeccable choice of composers and arrangers, he delights in his duty as an interpreter and enjoys each occasion to thank him and his contemporaries for their example. “The subjects and themes of the standards are so simple, yet the structures, with 17-piece orchestras, can be complicated, but no matter the material, a large part of whatever you do is showing up and giving it your all,” DelCorio said. “That’s what this and every other show is about for me.” With gigs throughout Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York City to his credit, the troubadour has logged 20 years as a standardsbearer, with the last eight being especially intense. A proponent of such artists as Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath when providing lead vocals for a rock band three decades ago, he has gone from bellowing to mellowing and can foresee taking more dips in the melodic fountain of youth. “When I turned 50, a light went on and

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

now I’m to the point where I feel on fire,” DelCorio, who is working on his third album, said. “I’m always looking to be creative and true to my inclination, and it’s fun to ponder where that might take me.” THE GARDEN STATE inhabitant began his odyssey as a boy, when trips to the entertainment-heavy Palumbo’s Restaurant, formerly Ninth and Catharine streets, with his mother Angelina and treks to his grandmother Josephine’s house helped to transform him from spectator to performer. Summer proved especially formative, with time at Atlantic City’s Steel Pier letting him rub elbows with such luminaries as Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Stevie Wonder and Frankie Avalon, another South Philly son. Seeing The Beatles at the Atlantic City Convention Center in 1964 also helped him to consider chasing the limelight. “Girls were screaming and yelling for them, and I thought ‘Wow, wouldn’t that be great to do!’” DelCorio said. Deeming his youth a great era to mature in because of its creative possibilities, he acquired instrumental prowess at Eliza B. Kirkbride School, 1501 S. Seventh St. Though still an occasional fiddler with guitar and piano, he has favored his pipes for

the duration of his adulthood and cherishes its receptivity to his preferred pieces. “My favorite instrument is the voice,” the Philadelphia Boys Choir product said of his note producer. “It’s helped me to meet great people and make amazing discoveries about myself.” DelCorio attended South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., where he added acting to his creative output, yet he gave music and the stage a rest as a communications major at Temple University, through which he envisioned becoming an announcer. Changing his focus to finance and business, he then completed his master’s curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania, with the Ivy League school helping to yield his vocation as a Washington Township, N.J.-based residential mortgage company branch manager. “As with all good things, you find your way back to home, to your heart,” he said of returning to his childhood passions. Regardless of his endeavor, DelCorio approaches each task with abundant energy and acknowledges being genuine as his chief charge. “I want to give off that sense of awareness and maturity, especially with acting, which, because of its nature, some assume is fake, but it doesn’t have to be,”

the budding thespian, whose filmography includes Martin Scorcese’s ’93 release “The Age of Innocence,” 2008’s “Sleeping with the Fishes,” with direction by his cousin and Queen Village resident Peter Defeo, and last year’s “Inside Pocket,” said. “There has to be that allegiance to the audience’s sensitivities. With a movie, people are looking for the human-interest aspect. I can’t imagine music is any different than that.” Having come a long way from his boyhood days of singing and dancing at family weddings, DelCorio, husband of 23 years to Jean and father of 21-year-old Angelica, retains his penchant for wholesome examination of the human condition courtesy of melodies. Like Bobby Darin, another of his heroes, who declared “There’s nothin’ in the world can hurt me long as I’m singin’ my song,” DelCorio plans to remain confident that music can shape lives. “It’s molded mine,” he said, “and I love honoring the benefactors of my formation.” SPR For tickets, visit swinginthestandards.com.

Losing control and getting it back

The act was part of a vision to protect ordinary Americans from losing their savings. It created the FDIC that, in effect, provides us with deposit insurance. Just as importantly, the act kept banking and securities separate to prevent us from fraud and conflicts of interest. Flash forward to 1999: President Bill Clinton and the Republicans squabbled over many things, but one thing on which they agreed was that too many regulations hurt American business from being globally competitive. Republicans had always believed in deregulation as one of their many articles of faith. What was new was the Democrats of that era were stumbling over themselves to also prove they were pro-business. The Glass-Steagall was repealed enthusiastically — only eight senators voted against repeal — and our financial nightmare began. Today, President Barack Obama has surrounded himself with many of the same advisors who persuaded Clinton to make this misjudgment, one that led to the irresponsible actions of the big banks that, in turn, led to their being bailed out. “Too big to fail,” is what these same “experts” said. When most folks, Tea Party Republican and liberal Democrats alike, talk about their government not listening to them, the main reason is big political contributors are drowning out their voices. An army of lobbyists invade the offices of Congress to fix legislation that benefits their private interests and not those of the average American voter. The 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United did not cause all of these problems, but it was the rock that helped to cause the landslide. The 5-4 decision (all the conservatives on the Court ruled in its favor), for the first time conveyed free speech to corporations, associations and unions. Since the corporations have most of the money, they flooded our political system with billions of dollars and made most of our political representatives of both parties beholden to big business. As Bob Dylan once wrote, “money doesn’t talk, it swears.” I am not one to demonize corporations, which are designed to make a profit for shareholders. I don’t expect them to operate in anything but their own self-interest. I do expect them to obey the law. That is why we need to return to a time when regulations and oversight restricted their actions for the well-being of all Americans. That can only happen if we change the balance of the Supreme Court and overturn the disastrous ruling in Citizens United. When the flow of corporate money is stopped, the voices of our citizens will be heard. Only then will we begin to get our government and lives back.

Aimee (Shailene Woodley), from left, and Sutter (Miles Teller) are an unlikely pair who help each other ﬁgure out the future in “The Spectacular Now.”

See it ‘Now’ ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

hit at Sundance, “The Spectacular Now” is a largely refreshing and unforced look at the ebb and flow of adolescence, particularly when it comes to fear of the future. This isn’t your typical I-don’t-want-tofill-out-my-college-applications angst fest. Directed by James Ponsoldt (“Smashed”), and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (“(500) Days of Summer”), the film digs for the tough and oftcontradictory truths of taking the next step, not to mention taking one’s own advice. Sutter (Miles Teller) is a character many viewers will recognize. He’s not a cliché, but a singular example of a specific archetype. He’s popular among girls and guys, but his hard-partying ways make it nearly impossible for anyone to take him seriously. He ably charms the hell out of his teachers, but he also tests their patience by failing to realize his potential. He’s adamant when it comes to pushing new squeeze Aimee (Shailene Woodley) to chase her college dreams, but he can’t bring himself to internalize and employ all that motivational speaking. That “The Spectacular Now” can take this tired tale and shake it to life, even bringing unaffected vitality to a daddyissue backstory and the constant sub-element of alcoholism, is a very noteworthy triumph. Credit goes to the filmmakers, but also, in no small part, to Teller, a blossoming dramatic actor who continues to deliver on the promise of his breakout turn in “Rabbit Hole.” The trouble with the movie is the way its writers view women, a problem that also affected “(500) Days.” Woodley gives a

very tender performance as Aimee, but like Zooey Deschanel’s Summer, she ultimately exists only to usher the male protagonist toward salvation. Sutter may recognize that he doesn’t deserve Aimee, but that doesn’t fix the way she’s treated by the script, which even credits her success to the man by whom she’ll stand without question. It’s a pity the film is so glaringly off-putting in this regard, because otherwise, it’s a terrifically acted and well-observed look at the strange and spectacular pain of youth.

One of the best films of the year thus far, James Marsh’s “Shadow Dancer” is a sparing and riveting political thriller, which charts the mysterious relationship between an MI5 agent (Clive Owen) and an IRA informant (Andrea Riseborough). The shifts of power and loyalty are as exciting as Marsh’s moody aesthetic and knack for tense set pieces. And while Owen is rock-solid, Riseborough’s performance, all silent turmoil and imperceptible cunning, is outright marvelous.

f there is one thing that unites voters — Republicans and Democrats — it is the feeling they have lost control of their lives. People blame different institutions for this (Republicans tend to blame big government while Democrats often see big business), but in some ways, both are right. If you’re like me, your parents told you many times that when you grew up, you would have a better life than them. Today, that trust in a better future is all but gone. Polls indicate about 80 percent of Americans now believe their children will be worse off than them. I graduated from Temple University in 1960 free from debt. Tuition was approximately $500 a year and my bill for textbooks was about $40. My daughter graduated college some 25 years ago and was paying off college loans a decade later. Today, studies show the average college student graduates with a $27,000 loan hung around his or her neck like an unforgiving albatross. They’re lucky if they can buy one textbook for $40. They’re incredibly lucky if there is any kind of a job waiting for them. Today, our once strongly held beliefs in the future seem naive — even foolish. The middle class, once the backbone of America, is disappearing before our eyes. Millions of middle-class Americans have lost their homes in a blitzkrieg of foreclosures. Their retirement savings have shrunk or were wiped out. While their lives were falling into a deep, dark hole, they watched the executives on Wall Street get big bonuses, and big banks get bailed out. The rules were rigged against them. They worked hard all of their lives and were betrayed. There was no bailout for the middle class. Meanwhile the financial sharpies thrived at their expense. How did we let this happen to America? It seems to me two events — one in 1993 and the other in 2010 — pushed us over cliff and into the mess in which we find ourselves with both parties to blame. FDR ostensibly saved capitalism in 1933 with the Glass-Steagall Act. Remember when your teachers told you America had refined and softened the dog-eat-dog jungle of pure capitalism? The sweatshops had disappeared with the implementation of child labor laws. Unions were strong enough to protect workers. One of my teachers called it “capitalism with a heart.”

Savvy Money TipS To Share WiTh your Teen (Family Features) — Most parents have learned things about money they wish they had known at a younger age. But when it comes to broaching the topic with their own teenagers, about a third would rather talk to them about smoking, drugs and bullying than money.1 Parents can take the angst out of teaching money management by working it into everyday routines. “Your kids are most likely interested in money and having more of it, but they may not know where to start,” says Susan Ehrlich, president of financial services for H&R Block. “Teaching money skills before they graduate will help them make smart choices and learn from their financial missteps now, so they’re better prepared when they’re on their own.” H&R Block provides free financial education for teens through H&R Block Dollars & Sense, which offers these tips: Encourage learning by earning. You may or may not want your teen to hold down a job while in high school, but you can instill the concept of earning by encouraging occasional paying projects, such as babysitting or mowing lawns. Practice makes perfect. Ask your teen to manage a portion of the family budget, such as writing the weekly menu and grocery list to fit your budget or keeping track of eating-out expenses every month. Save now, spend later. Open a savings account for your teen to plan for future purchases. If you’re able, offer to match a portion of their savings to encourage the behavior. This can help convey the difference between needs and wants. Verbalize your own wants for something the entire family can save for and enjoy together, then share your progress toward the goal. Set some limits. If your teen has a credit card, set a realistic credit limit so the balance can be paid in full each month. Your teen will also see the impact of interest rates and annual fees. Be a good financial role model. Pay your own bills on time and ask your teen to be part of the process. Talk to your teen about the importance of a good credit score and how to maintain it – for example, paying your bills on time accounts for 35 percent of your score. Help them understand lower credit scores mean higher interest that could cost thousands of unnecessary dollars. For more tips visit www.hrblockdollarsandsense.com. 1

Crafty BaCk-to-SChool ProjeCtS for kidS (Family Features) Back-to-School time is one of the busiest of the year. Kids love the excitement of catching up with friends, learning new things and meeting new teachers. Teachers and moms see this time as hectic. Both have to buy supplies, organize and get kids back into a routine. And routines can be the biggest challenge. Some kids finish work fast, leaving them bored and waiting on their siblings or classmates to finish up. The experts at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores suggest creating a box of simple craft projects to keep kids busy during these downtimes. Whether done at home or at school, crafts are a fun way to teach kids important life skills. Kids learn to share, socialize and take pride in their work. They also learn to embrace creativity, make choices, explore their own curiosity and express their thoughts and emotions. Dexterity and coordination are also developed as kids manipulate various tools, such as scissors, pottery wheels, needles and hooks. Complex crafts can also teach perseverance and build concentration. Combine a love of reading with crafting by making a one-of-a-kind bookmark. Kids can complete the project then use it all school year long. You can find more ideas, project guides and supplies at www.joann.com. Bookmarks With Personality Crafting Time: Under 1 hour Skill Level: No experience necessary Supplies and Tools: Colorbok stamps: 4-inch by 8-inch Borders 4-inch by 8-inch Leaves 4-inch by 8-inch Christmas 4-inch by 8-inch Travel Colorbok papers: 12-inch by 12-inch Travel Chitchat 12-inch by 12-inch Jolly & Bright Mini Dots 12-inch by 12-inch Harvest Strip Acid-free ink pad Hole punch Ribbon Acid-free adhesive or tape Scissors 1. Cut the base for bookmark to size and shape. 2. Using a separate piece of paper, preferably solid or with a subtle pattern, cut pieces to layer onto the base sheet. 3. Cut pieces slightly smaller than the first shape, so the base of the bookmark can be seen. 4. Stamp images firmly onto paper cut-outs. 5. Adhere stamped pieces to the bookmark base. To make a bookmark of conjoined circles, tape ribbon between large bottom circles and small top circles. 6. Punch a hole 1/2 inch from the top of the bookmark. 7. Run ribbon through the top. Secure with a knot. kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bookmarks Crafting Time: Under 1 hour Skill Level: Some experience necessary Supplies and Tools: Assorted colors of felt scraps Assorted buttons Scissors or pinking shears Fabric glue 1. Cut bookmark background piece to desired size (approximately 8 inches long x 2- Â˝ inches wide). 2. Cut bottom into fringe, a point, or straight across. If desired, cut two, one slightly larger than the other, and glue together. 3. From other scraps, cut various shapes and designs such as hearts, flowers, apples, leaves, geometric shapes. 4. Arrange shapes on bookmark and glue in place. Decorate as desired with ribbon, buttons or beads.

Marge’s Ground Beef Skillet

Here’s the scoop

round beef is one of those main ingredients where the options can seem endless. Hamburger patties, meatloaf and tacos are just a few of the extensive and tasty options. Marge Lord would likely consider tossing her Ground Beef Skillet into the conversation. Although it’s summertime, the resident of the 2100 block of South Hancock Street doesn’t require a barbecue to execute her well-seasoned mixture. Add a salad and a loaf of Italian bread to the evening’s menu and the meal is complete. SPR

replaced the chocolate with rich dark coffee ($6). It was served in an espresso cup and came with two rich chocolate biscotti. The Bavarian cream roll ($8) was bursting with fresh tart lemon, lightly sweetened whipped cream and a scattering of blueberries. The combination was a marriage made in culinary heaven. Our server brought us two small homemade vanilla cookies to go with the French press coffee ($4) that I found a little too weak. The Service was perfect. Edward and I sat at a small round table for two which was nestled up to a comfortable banquette. Our server navigated around the table with ease, bringing fresh silverware = Very Good

lthough East Passyunk Avenue is home to some of my favorite restaurants, I recently enjoyed a delightful dinner at Fitler Dining Room. There are a few places in Fitler Square that rarely disappoint. I always enjoyed Mama Palma’s pizza and the Mediterranean-inspired dishes at Dmitri’s. But Fitler Dining Room brings an upscale, casual atmosphere to the neighborhood. The 22nd-and-Spruce location was first Melograno, which moved to Sansom Street. Then it morphed into the delightful Meme. For the past few months, FDR, as it is called, has featured local, in-season ingredients that are turned into unique and unusual dishes. The small space features white subway tiles on one wall and an open kitchen. FDR has a license to sell beer and wine. The carefully-chosen list of wines by the glass enhances the appetizers and entrées on the menu. Edward and I sipped a glass of Paul Mas Picpoul ($9), a dry, fruity white wine from Spain that we enjoyed with the complimentary one-bite gougere. This savory cheese pastry created in Burgundy is often served as an amuse bouche with a glass of wine. We began dinner with gnocchi ($15) and butter poached oysters ($16). The light-asa-feather potato gnocchi were bathed in a sauce of peekytoe crab with fresh herbs. It hails from the East Coast, particularly in the cold waters off of Maine. It imparted a sweet, succulent flavor that married beautifully with the seasoned potatoes used to

fashion the gnocchi. I never met an oyster I did not like. My appetizer consisted of five plump, briny Wellfleet oysters lightly poached in sweet butter and served in a light chowder with potatoes, aromatic fennel, herbs and topped with homemade brioche croutons. It was not a thick, rich chowder, although the broth had a light and creamy texture. It was bursting with flavor and was served warm. This was a fine idea. If the broth were too hot, it would’ve destroyed the flavor and texture of the oysters. We nibbled on homemade potato rolls that had the flavor and texture of a slightly sweet brioche slathered with soft butter. My duck entrée ($27) was attractive to the eye and taste buds. A Moulard duck breast was prepared medium-rare and sliced prettily. It was served with several batons of crisp-on-the-outside, creamy-onthe-inside potatoes. Since stone fruit is in high season now, the duck was beautifully set off by peaches and plums which were bursting ripe with slightly sweet flavor. I do not usually like fruit with duck or any fowl, but this worked perfectly. Edward’s striped bass ($26) was an unusual dish as it was served in minestrone. Actually, the base for the fish were the types of vegetables you would find in a first-rate minestrone. Onions, carrots, celery, white beans, a bit of tomato and fresh herbs served as a thick pool on which a plump piece of wild striped bass rested. The fish was seasoned and seared to perfection before it spent a few minutes roasting in the oven. Don’t miss dessert at FDR. A tasty twist on the classic pots de crëme au chocolate

menu ranges from the extremely popular chicken meatballs, the numerous variations of stuffings, baked ziti and countless other items. The story behind this successful family-owned-and-operated location dates back to 1925 when John Rugierri — the grandfather of current owners Carmen, Johnny and Richard Commoroto — opened John’s Butchers at 1615 W. Ritner St. He would eventually hand over the operations to his daughter Annette and her husband, Carmen, who are in their 80s, but continue to be regular contributors. “Without a doubt, they are the backbone of the store,” Richard Commoroto, 58, said. The siblings split up the responsibilities with Carmen, 52, handling the cooking, Johnny, 56, overseeing the orders and Richard serving as the manager. “We try to stay out of each other’s way, which normally doesn’t

Joseph Myers talks

My, oh, Miami! An East Passyunk Crossing-based basketball star is ready to compete in the ACC. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

saac Newton famously observed four centuries ago that what goes up must come down, but Ja’Quan Newton is providing gurative refutation, as his stock has continued to rise each year at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. The soon-to-be senior basketball standout ended an intense recruiting process Aug. 7 by verbally committing to the University of Miami. “There are so many positives about the situation, so I feel it’s going to be the most comfortable place for me,” the 17-year-old Southwest Philly resident said Tuesday

Ja’Quan Newton has emerged as one of the nation’s most polished high school ballers. S ta f f P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

at his East Passyunk Crossing secondary education site. “I’m willing to learn whatever I need to so Miami can continue to be a winning program.” The 6-foot-3 guard has drawn considerable attention since he began his South Philly matriculation, with his choice entering the pursuit two years ago. The Sunshine State institution beat out a number of suitors, including Syracuse University, which has recently benefited from the services of Neumann-Goretti products

Rick Jackson and Antonio “Scoop” Jardine. Favoring an up-tempo style of play, Newton will look to reward Miami, which sent personnel to watch his summer showcase appearances, with capable handling of the point guard position. “I’ve been playing the point for my AAU squad,” he said of Team Final, “so I’m working on knowing even more about when to try to score and when to pass.” In picking Miami, Newton figures to be a potent contributor to a unit that ESPN ranks as having the sixth-best 2014 recruiting class. The Hurricanes will need his determination and that of the other virtuosos if they are to continue to stymie the likes of the Duke University Blue Devils and the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, traditional powerhouses against whom they registered a 4-1 record last year in capturing the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and tournament titles. “That’s another reason I picked Miami,” Newton said. “They’re in the best league, and I want to play against the best teams because that’s how I’m going to grow and be a boost for coach [James] Larrañaga.” He has already begun to help by mentioning the merits of the school to other prospects. Enthused about giving the coaching staff his trademark tenacity, he hopes his superiors entrust him with the reigns early into his career and assist his game’s evolution. “My dream is to play in the NBA, and I think Miami is the greatest location to get ready,” Newton, who will ponder his major as his final South Philly campaign unfolds, said. “I know it’s going to take my all, and I’m fine with giving it.” BEFORE THE CONFIDENT baller tries to fulfill his athletic destiny, he will look to maintain the Saints’ supremacy. Neumann-Goretti has captured the last five Catholic League and District 12 City titles and three of the last four State championships. Since becoming a freshman starter, Newton has pleased coach Carl Arrigale with his blend of grace and grit. “He came in as a very gifted kid,” the

PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php resident of the 2900 block of South 15th Street said of the sniper. “As the years have gone by, he’s progressed and been able to put up great efforts against top teams.” Having helmed nine parochial league victors, Arrigale has obviously received many outstanding performances from numerous players, with Newton turning in a breathtaking one Feb. 25 at The Palestra. The two-time First-Team All-Catholic honoree tallied 27 points, including two buzzer-beating three-pointers, to pace his mates against the St. Joe’s Prep Hawks for another Catholic League final celebration. “When I came to Neumann-Goretti, I was pretty much playing off my talent,” Newton said, acknowledging he needed to invest more time into his defense and mastery of set plays. “The school has taught me everything, and I think I’ve really matured and grown to the point where I’m ready for whatever happens at Miami.” “He’s come to understand the intricacies of playing on both ends,” Arrigale added, stating he is looking forward to how Newton goes from being a leader to the leader. The teenager awaits that transformation, too, and believes it will be smooth as long as he becomes more vocal. “I expect a really good year from us,” Newton said. “I want another Catholic League title and to get the state championship back.” If the Saints win their sixth straight parochial plaque, they will join the Roman Catholic Cahillites 1989 to ’94 units as the only ones to do so. While he would go down in Neumann-Goretti’s annals if that were to occur, he could also cement his legacy by becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer. Currently fourth, he needs 507 points to eclipse ’85 graduate Steve Benton’s 1,808. “I like that I have the chance to do that because it’s a reflection of my hard work,” Newton said. Set to make his first visit to the Miami campus Sept. 14, he anticipates fraternizing with his future teammates and gaining from the trip an even greater appreciation for the future. “I can’t let up just because I’ve decided,” Newton said. “I still have to be hungry.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

NoveNas prayer to the blessed virgin

(never known to fail). O Most Beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful Vine Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here You are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor my necessity (Make Request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days. Then you must publish it and it will be granted to you.

K.G.

st. jude novena

May the Sacred heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world, now and forever. Sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. St. Jude, worker of Miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer 9 times a day for eight days, by the 8th day your prayers will be answered. Publication must be promised. Thank you St. Jude.
