pathy parted with a great adversary Aug. 14 when Jeffrey Rush lost his brief fight against pancreatic cancer at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He was 67. The Queen Village crusader had devoted more than three decades to addressing a plethora of pressing issues with aplomb and garnered admiration from City officials and neighbors for adhering to his principles and analyzing the possible consequences of every community plan.

hough he appreciates his studies at Edward Bok High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., Ernest Graham learned Aug. 6 that out-of-school occasions can prove just as educational. While bicycling to his job at United Communities Southeast Philadelphia, 2029 S. Eighth St., he
became a hit-and-run victim at 17th Street and Snyder Avenue, with the fleeing motorist being guilty of texting while driving. “He clipped me, but what might have happened if I had been going at a different speed?” the resident of 20th and Tasker streets said. “Incidents like mine are why we are here today and what we are trying to avoid.” Graham and 18 peers, gathered Aug. 15
as youth ambassadors for the It Can Wait Campaign, a three-year-old AT&T initiative, which has intensified its mission to remind drivers, especially teenagers, to forgo fidgeting with phones while on the road and courted the United Communitiesbased Southeast Philadelphia Collaborative members for means to quell catastrophes.

What are your thoughts on Saturday’s Philly Naked Bike Ride?
Melting the summer spirit
“I think it’s weird. I do not think it is right at all. It makes other people uncomfortable.� Justin Uhl, Ninth and McKean streets
“I think it is weird to ride a bike around naked in public with little kids around. I don’t think it helps their cause by riding naked. I think they would help promote more awareness another way, such as dressing like a zombie or something else that stands out.� Larry Solanke, Broad and Jackson streets “I think it is funny. It’s really cool. It is all in good fun and will make people laugh. If I wasn’t so modest, I would probably join them.� Dawn Kahana, Eighth and Jackson streets.
“It’s 2012 and everyone has to realize things are different now. People should just do it. It is naive to keep censoring things as time goes on.� Edd Wright, 16th and Porter streets.

To the Editor: How much do I hate the summer? Let me count the ways: •Memorial Day weekend when South Philadelphia packs up and flocks down the Shore is the beginning for most people — the end for me. •The oppressive and unbearable heat. •The feeling of isolation, being a virtual slave to your air conditioner. Why does everyone feel that the very second the weather gets warm it’s time to head down the Shore. Is there nothing else? The Shore is no cure or consolation for the dreaded summer. If it’s hot here, it will usually be hot there. I try to be optimistic and say next year will be better. I will plan to go somewhere. It never is and I never do. Anyone who knows me will attest to how much I despise the heat. They probably run the other way when they see me because they’re tired of hearing my tirade of complaints. Contrary to popular opinions, mine is quite the opposite. I prefer winter over summer; freezing over sweating; and ice over steam. These are not normal definitions of all the beautiful words usually describing summer, but then again, I am not normal. And if normal means loving this dirty, disgusting, horrific heat, then I’m glad I am not. Please don’t think I am crazy, I’m just hot. Debbie Russino South Philadelphia
extra income? I know from experience what it is like to work several jobs in order to make ends meet. During these tough economic times, such legislation is even more relevant and necessary. I would also like to add that this situation currently applies to friends who work for several Philadelphia restaurants. Not only does it become a concern if they themselves are ill, but also when family members need care. Our City Council members need to give workers the opportunity to earn a minimum number of paid sick days for themselves and their loved ones.

A legislative proposal To the Editor: I am a South Philly resident and I am writing to you regarding the need for legislation that mandates that local businesses provide their employees with earned, paid sick days. As a former employee of a business that did not provide such benefits, this matter is important on several different levels. Not only does a lack of such benefits cause emotional distress, but also financial stress. When one is ill or needs to care for a loved one without earned paid time off, they have the additional worry of finding people to cover for them at work. In addition, they are faced with financial concerns. Will they be able to work extra shifts to pay their expenses? If they can’t, will they be able to secure

Fighting off the perp A woman’s kicks and screams scared a robber away in East Passyunk Crossing Friday. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor
A
n attempted robbery resulted in a woman sustaining only minor injuries from her attacker. While walking home on the 1600 block of South 13th Street at 1:43 a.m. Friday, a 21-year-old woman heard someone running behind her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She was on the front steps of a residence when a man grabbed her with one hand and tried to shove a white tank top in her mouth. She smelled chemicals, but it was unclear if the odor came from the garment, Sgt. Gwen Bartlett of South Detectives said. She began to scream and kick at the man as he reached for her purse. During the struggle, the man fell off of the stoop and pulled her down with him. She continued to fight until the perpetrator fled south on 13th. The woman was transported to Methodist Hospital with cuts to both legs and a broken left ring finger, Tolliver said. The attacker was described as Latino with a dark complexion, in his early 20s, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9; having a medium build; and wearing all black clothing and a black baseball cap backwards. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Stare down Three men conversed with their intended target before robbing him in West Passyunk Monday afternoon. The 24-year-old was strolling along the 2200 block of Winton Street when he saw the men staring at him at 4:30 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One asked, “Are you from around here? We’ve never seen you before.” The man replied, “Yes” and tried to walk away, but the man grabbed him by his shirt as a second offender pointed a black and silver handgun at his side and said, “You know what time it is,” and a third man pointed a black handgun to his head. The initial instigator grabbed $100 and ID from his pocket before the trio fled south on 22nd Street. The suspects were described as black, age 20 to 25. The first one was 6-foot-2, 150 pounds; having a light complexion, short hair and long beard; and wearing a denim shirt, tan cargo pants; the second
thief was 6-foot-2, 170 pounds; having a dark complexion, short hair and no facial hair; and wearing a blue shirt and jeans; and the third offender was 5-foot-6, 140 pounds; having a light complexion, short hair and a mustache; and wearing a white shirt and black jeans. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Holdup before pickup A woman was mugged prior to picking up her children from their Lower Moyamensing day care last week. The 23-year-old parked on the 2600 block of Broad Street when a man, who was sitting on the steps of My Space Preschool & Nursery, 2603 S. Broad St., asked where Broad and Lombard streets was, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The woman started to explain, but he cut her off by pointing a silver handgun at her and demanding her purse. She handed him her bag, from which he retrieved credit and social security cards before throwing it back to her and fleeing south on Broad. The man was described as black, in this late-20s, 5-foot-10, thin; having a beard; wearing a white T-shirt and carrying a black book bag. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Safe stealer A Whitman woman lost a hefty sum of cash and valuables from her home safe. The 45-year-old reported she secured her home Saturday, but upon returning to the 2800 block of South Marshall Street Monday, she noticed her basement rear door had been forced open and her second floor bedroom was in disarray, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Her safe, containing $45,000, passport, citizen papers, two wedding bands and a diamond ring, were missing. A medic unit transported the woman, who had suffered an anxiety attack, to Methodist Hospital, Tolliver said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms. SPR

Thanks to donations, the event continues to grow, with about 500 attendees this year. Area businesses donated food and funds to allow the district to purchase raffle giveaways, such as bookbags, laptops, bikes and a television. The musicians donated their time, as did the off-duty officers who made appearances throughout the four-hour time span. “We don’t have any violence at these events,” Washington said. “People laugh and have a good time.”

ames “Jimmy” Darren will be in flight tonight, heading from the West Coast back to his native Philadelphia for the first time in about two years. His last performance near his hometown was at Lancaster’s American Music Theater about five years ago. But that will change 8 p.m. Friday when he takes the stage for “An Evening with James Darren” at the Landis Theater in Vineland, N.J. “I just hope the people are very receptive. I hope they can’t get enough of me. And I love when an audience is vocal,” the Lower Moyamensing native said, noting a fan in Las Vegas yelling, “‘I love you. I love you,’” during a performance last month, as well as his offering another fan his glasses jokingly after she proclaimed, “Oh, you look better than you did before.” “I do talk to the audience. I don’t just come out and sing songs like a zombie. I communicate with the people. That’s one of the joys of performing.” During his show, he will play video selections from his movie and TV career and perform classics like “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “The Best Is Yet to Come” and “Night and Day,” as well as his own hits, such as “Gidget” and “Goodbye Cruel World.” “It’s a mixture of tunes, but it’s got a great flow,” Darren, 76, said last week from his Beverly Hills home where he resides with his wife of 52 years, Evy Norlund. “It seems to go by in no time at all. Even when I’m on my last song, I think, ‘My God, that was short.’” Although his time on stage might fly by, he hopes to make his few days back home count by speaking at a veterans’ home in Vineland Saturday before visiting relatives still residing in South Philly and Jersey and hitting up his old South Philly buddies, like singer Bobby Rydell, originally of 11th and Porter streets, and disc jockey Jerry Blavat, a 17th-and-Mifflin-streets native. “I need that fix now and then and I miss it,” Darren, who grew up on the 2400 block of South 10th Street, said of South Philly. “It’s just I’ve been busy here working on projects. I’ve directed TV shows, like I’ve been working with a friend who is putting together a low-budget film and talking about me directing it.” While in town, he also plans to eat at Ralph’s Italian Restaurant, 760 S. Ninth St., and consume a few Philly cheesesteaks. “I got to go to Jim’s Steaks, [400 South St.,] Geno’s [Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St.,] and Pat’s [King of Steaks, 1237 E. Passyunk Ave.],” he said. “I go to all three

Moyamensing Ave.]. … I just like walking the streets there. It just brings back so many memories. KNOWN FOR HIS roles on the big and small screens, the actor/singer/director could not
pinpoint a highlight when looking back on his career thus far. “Everything I’ve done, I’ve had a great experience,” he said. “I can’t think of one thing I did where I did not have a blast.” But he admitted that belting out the tunes has been his favorite passion. “Only because it’s what comes totally natural to me. I just — I sing,” he said. “When I do acting jobs, it takes a lot of extra work to find the character I’m playing and hopefully I make the right selections, the right choices in the scenes I do. Directing is the same thing only a million times more severe because it really takes a lot of preparation.”
His love for singing will shine through on his follow-up to his 2001 release, “Because of You,” which he expects to finish in about three months. “They’re older ’60s and ’70s tunes with a new kind of twist — not the old standards like ‘Because of You’ or ‘Night and Day,’” he said of the album’s content, adding song’s like “Spanish Harlem” or “You Send Me” could make the cut. As a boy, Darren, born James Ercolani, sang for his grandmother, Clara DiJosie, who would pay him a dime a song, with her favorite being “Bésame Mucho.” “It was my first paying job,” he said. “Then she boosted that up to 25 cents. She was a big supporter.” Starting at age 14, he gained more experience when his father arranged unpaid gigs at bars and clubs across the city. Darren recalled one such night at a North Philly watering hole called The White Elephant. “There was a stripper and a sax player on the bill,” he said. “I sang with the sax player unfortunately.” In his late teens, he began to take acting lessons in New York City and earned a contract with Columbia Pictures. He shot to stardom with “Gidget” in 1959 and went on to appear in more films, such as two “Gidget” sequels and “The Guns of Naverone,” in the early ’60s. He compiled numerous albums since ’60 and moved to the small screen with shows, such as “The Time Tunnel” in ’66, “T.J. Hooker” in ’82, and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in ’98. But he was one of many talents to hail from South Philly in that time. One inspired another, he said, noting the late Eddie Fisher, a singer from Fifth and Porter streets who found success in the ’50s, motivated him. “If they can do it, I can do it,” Darren said of his mindset at the time. “If you have a love for the arts, this makes you pursue it with more determination. That plays a big part if you know someone who lives by you and they become popular doing what you dream of doing.” Darren will continue his dream tomorrow night and hopes the audience will welcome him home with open arms. “Hopefully they like me. Hopefully they enjoy the show. I’ll do my best, I’ll put on my best suit and I’ll be there,” Darren said. SPR See page 20 for ticket details. Contact Managing Editor Amanda L.

RUSH continued from page 1 His departure has left his closest allies grateful for his allegiance to South Philadelphia and eager to try to emulate his civic success. “He was a true Philadelphian in every sense of the word,” former 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco said Tuesday of Mr. Rush, with whom he had enjoyed a 30-year friendship. “His legacy will be his advocacy for increased engagement in one’s community.” The political personality often consulted his acquaintance when looking to gauge the chief concerns for Queen Village. He noted Mr. Rush, who lived with his wife, Kathleen McCann Rush, at Christian Street and Columbus Boulevard, aimed to make lives better “block by block.” When learning last year Mr. Rush had submitted his résumé to obtain a position with the Zoning Board of Adjustment, DiCicco offered praise of his friend to the body responsible for hearing petitions for variances and appeals of development decisions. “That was really a no-brainer,” he said of vouching for Mr. Rush, whom he cited as exuding passion for Queen Village and the city’s other territories. Mayor Michael A. Nutter’s February 2011 appointment allowed Mr. Rush to add another impressive title to his work history. At the time of the appointment, he was winding down the final year of his second stint as the Queen Village Neighbors Association president, following roles as a board member and vice president, and continuing what would become a 20year affiliation with the Interstate Land Management Corp. Other achievements included serving in the U.S. Army as an assistant to the brigade commander of the 101st Airborne and acting as the vice chair for the Central Delaware Advocacy Group, which, along with the Delaware River Waterfront Corp., helped to develop the Master Plan for the Central Delaware. That final responsibility assisted Mr. Rush in conceiving beautification ideas for the waterfront and enabled him to tackle the proposed Foxwoods Casino project, which would have, had the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board not voted Dec. 16, ’10 to strip investors of their ’06 license, placed a gaming hall between Tasker and Reed streets on South Columbus Boulevard. “We have been disconnected from the waterfront for too long,” Mr. Rush said in a December ’10 Review interview. “We need to enhance it with parks and wetlands, not a casino.” “He had an open mind but never so on the topic of casinos,” DiCicco said of

Added him upon the end of his two-year mili-
tary service, culminating with the acquisition of the auto repair facility. He made the purchase 15 years after relocating to Queen Village, by which time he had already made scores of friends from all over, including Pennsport, where he met Rene Goodwin. “Pennsport and Queen Village were at the dawn of a new era,” Goodwin, of the 200 block of Federal Street, said of the early 1980s. “Even then, Jeff was exhibiting characteristics of a great leader. He soon became a tour de force for all causes.” The Pennsport Civic Association board member fondly recalled lengthy conversations with her peer, whom she lauded as the owner of a wonderful sense of humor. “He was fond of gesticulating, so he became Mr. Jazz Hands,” she said, with a laugh. Mr. Rush, whose relatives requested privacy during their mourning period, won followers because he communicated effectively and acknowledged every issue’s complexity, Goodwin said. “The entire goal for him was civility yet with an appreciation for details,” she said. “He was savvy in knowing how to talk with people.” Though he carried an unflinching dedication to communal sustainability, he enjoyed light pursuits, too, with love for the Eagles and the Phillies at the top. Goodwin said his numerous interests gave him a certain aura and the Zoning Board appointment cemented his pioneer status. “It proved he was his own man,” she said. Mr. Rush left the Queen Village Neighbors Association’s presidency this year, with Jeff Hornstein, of the 300 block of Queen Street, succeeding him. “Pure passion for the neighborhood and the city,” Hornstein, whose group has devised the Jeff Rush Community Improvement Fund, said of the inspiration behind Mr. Rush’s civic role. “I feel he has left QVNA in a great position for the next generation to build upon and make a great neighborhood even greater.” Like Goodwin, Hornstein will never forget his colleague’s influence. “I made a point of having a drink with Jeff every couple of months so I could take advantage of his immense knowledge and wisdom,” he said. “That is what I will miss most of all.” “Whenever something positive would occur, Jeff would say ‘It’s a beautiful thing,’” DiCicco added of Mr. Rush. “Well, it’s a beautiful thing so many people knew him.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

TEXTING continued from page 1 “That’s pretty telling,” Joe Divis, AT&T executive director for external affairs, said when an icebreaker activity revealed the youths have all seen people texting while driving, with half also knowing someone injured through the combination of the two. “We need you to be leaders in explaining the dangers.” His employer devised the endeavor in 2009 and recently relaunched it to combat a series of distressing statistics. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute has determined text-happy drivers are 23 times more likely to be in a crash, and the National Safety Council estimates more than 800,000 texting-while-driving accidents have occurred this year. Though 39 states, including Pennsylvania, have banned texting while driving, AT&T, which landed the collaborative as a partner through searches for youth-oriented agencies, knew the need for intervention. “So what we are saying is no text is worth risking someone’s life,” Divis said. To drive home that point, he showed the adolescents, hailing from programs at, among others, the Houston Center, also 2029 S. Eighth St., and Sunrise of Philadelphia Inc., 1900 S.

Somber expressions adorned the students’ faces, with a moment of silence at its conclusion. “That was powerful,” Graham said, regaling his colleagues afterward with the tale of his encounter with an SUV.
As each video portion involved young people, Divis and AT&T sales director Jane Quinn-Schwartz capitalized on the content to help to convince their acquaintances to accept responsibility in rallying for more awareness of proper vehicular behavior. “Many people think they’re good enough at texting to avoid damage,” Quinn-Schwartz

said. “That’s pretty bold to believe.” AT&T is looking to steer beginning motorists away from clutching anything but the wheel, with outreach to celebrities and appearances at concerts, including Tuesday’s “American Idol Live!” show at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., which included a virtual reality simulator. Facebook and Twitter have led the social media cause, and YouTube has helped “The Last Text” to receive more than three million views. Efforts to supply American high schools with a toolkit of information have begun, and AT&T is offering a DriveMode application to its Android and BlackBerry users. The amenity blocks texting capabilities and provides senders an auto-reply message to signify someone is driving a car exceeding 25 mph. “That is a great idea,” 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla, a resident of Front Street and Snyder Avenue, said. “When someone is driving, even one second of distraction can be so dangerous.”

News continued from previous page orative and AT&T united them to stress the severity of their loved ones’ actions. “You have to be a constant advocate,” Divis said. “So, what do you think you can do?” His audience mentioned organizing a possible protest, including news of the campaign in school announcements, distributing information at parties and playgrounds and relying on the often-overlooked method of starting conversations within their circles. “We don’t have to rely on technology for everything,” Graham said. He and the others voiced intentions to speak about the campaign, which runs through Sept. 19, with a total of 1,600 people. United Communities director of policy and external relationships Carys Davies and networking and communications director Cory Miller assigned each pupil the task of acquiring 25 “No Text on Board” pledges through att.com. “If you can give one person the message each day, you will easily exceed your pledge goal,” Davies said. Some participants still sounded hesitant but lost their inhibition when QuinnSchwartz said their sociability will help. “You have so many friends and thus you have the gift of youth and more influence
than you might think,” she said. The youngsters visited the website to vow never to text while driving. With Squilla applying his signature first, they also signed a banner stating their goal to exercise control over their phones while canvassing neighborhoods as drivers. “We often use our instincts when driving and need full focus when we’re on the road,” Squilla, with plans to be a vocal supporter of the pledge, said. Giveaways and a raffle capped the twohour presentation, with discussions on when they would begin to promote the message occupying the youths as they read the aforementioned statistics. Graham will not need numbers to motivate him, though. “I had a scary experience,” he said. “After getting over the shock, I realized this has to stop.” He and the others will reunite Sept. 19 to gauge their success, with Divis and Miller expecting great results. “Since so much of the campaign has a social media angle, the students easily relate,” Miller said. “They know what’s at stake.” SPR Visit itcanwait.org.

A skilled artisan will bring his unique designs to a Queen Village wall.
C
By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
onrad Booker, of Fifth and Catharine streets, was chatting with neighbor Charlie Branes about a year ago. Branes, who lives on Fulton Street, was lamenting a standstill about getting a muralist to paint the Fulton side wall of 770 S. Fourth St. Booker, an artist, architect, fabricator and interior designer, said he was up for the challenge. “I just said I’d paint the mural and [Barnes] thought I was kidding. He asked if I knew what I’d paint. … I went back and surveyed the site and came back with the concept,” Booker, 51, said. Over the next few months Conrad refined the concept and, with Branes, presented it to the Queen Village Neighborhood Association. Through ongoing neighbors’ donations and some funds from the civic, the $13,000 project got the go ahead. Booker plans to start on the piece as soon as the supplies — which already have been ordered — arrive.
Located on the 400 block of Fulton Street, “Harmony and the Windows of Curiosities,” a mural designed by Conrad Booker, will feature a 1856 map of Queen Village with butterflies emerging from the former African-American cemetery, now Weccacoe Playground, 400 Queen St. The community hopes the colorful addition will dispel litter, graffiti and drug use on the side street. S ta f f p h o t o s b y G r e g B e z a n i s
Lifestyles “I’m sort of guestimating a month-anda-half [to complete the project],” Booker, who will have some volunteer help, said. “I have a background in architecture and also was the creative director of an architecture firm for about 15 years. There, I did a lot of architectural renderings and things. “I haven’t done murals murals, but done a lot of renderings. This past winter I did six large mural panels for the Mummers.” The design for the wall was inspired by Booker’s most recent installation entitled “Metamorphosis.” The multivenue work — which spanned three locales, the South Philly spot being Bus Stop Boutique, 727 S. Fourth St. — featured three-dimensional cutouts of butterflies made from soda and beer cans. The final mural design, however, incorporates other aspects of the area’s storied history. “I have a friend that works at the University of Pennsylvania in the map department or something like that and he was able to show me a website that has all maps of Philadelphia going back to like 1700,” Booker, an 11-year Queen Village resident, said. “It’s a map of that part of the street — the Weccacoe Playground, as well as the street that I live on.” The title of the work that Booker said received high praise when showcased at civic meetings is “Harmony and the Win-
dows of Curiosities.” “Back in 1862 Fulton Street was called Harmony Street and the ‘windows of curiosity’ are windows that will be existing on the [real work] as well as on the symbolic — windows of the past, present and future,” the artist said. “There are going to be three large synthetic glass windows that will be part of the mural.” IN BUFFALO, N.Y., a 10-year-old Booker was preparing for a career in the arts. “Actually, I really liked ‘The Brady Bunch’ and Mr. Brady was an architect,” he said. “Because of him I told my mom I wanted a Craftsman set.” By 1986 Booker had graduated from Temple University with an architecture degree. Hired directly out of school, he began working for an area firm, but, in ’90, had started up his freelance work, which is the majority of his professional focus today. “I don’t really do architecture architecture, I do more freelance design work for architects and interior designers. That encompasses architectural renderings, pillows, drapes, upholstery,” Booker said. “If you can’t find something that you need, I’m the guy. They do all the drawings and concept and I make it.” Doing this work from his basement for

recycling of elements and I’ve always liked making art from things that people don’t normally see art in,” Booker said. For the upcoming project, the artist hopes, as with most murals, the “Harmony” work will curb the graffiti and detritus that has plagued the area. But he also hopes it does a little more. “I just always like to take on challenges and to see where they lead. And, to be honest, the wall looks pretty bad. I would hope people would respect it. We do plan on putting an anti-graffiti finish on it so that it will be easy to take off any tagging,” he said. “And I do hope people take something away from it.” The mural will serve multiple purposes, then, not the least of which is an added level of engagement and information for neighbors. “One thing that we’re doing that a lot of murals that I’ve seen haven’t done is that we will have a QR code that people will be able to link up to a website developed for it that will talk about the history of the mural and identifiable elements on the mural — dedications and stuff like that,” Booker said. “So neighbors can keep up to date on that.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

the past 22 years has allowed the level of freedom, autonomy and fulfillment Booker anticipated and allowed his other creative faculties free reign. Showcasing his work from Philadelphia to New York, Booker has created installations in public spaces. “Cutting out magazines and creating faces and portraits out of different various collages, all kinds of stuff, and using telephone books to create art — that’s kind of what I like,” he said. “That’s what I am really drawn more towards versus depicting art in terms of painting and drawing.” His work has been finding it’s way onto local businesses’ walls, where many residents may have seen it without knowing. “This past February I did a show at Colonial Wall Covering, [707 E. Passyunk Ave]. I tend to like those kind of venues,” he said. Booker would love to have a show in a gallery some day, but having people find his art has been working so far. “I had originally had a show at Red Hook Coffee,” Booker said of the 765 S. Fourth St. brew house. “And a curator saw my show and was taken with it and wanted to curate a show that encompassed several places.” What transpired was the “Metamorphosis” exhibit that lends inspiration to the upcoming Fulton Street mural. “I tend to, recently, be really drawn to finding found objects and more reuse and

By Tom Cardella Columnist
Is Paul Ryan serious?
S
ince U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin became the No. 2 man on the Romney ticket, political friends and foes alike have described him as “serious.” It is a sign of our times when being serious in itself is an unusual virtue for any politician. Ryan also has been called an intellectual, an adjective not associated with today’s conservatives since William F. Buckley passed. Ryan reportedly likes to pass out copies of “Atlas Shrugged” to friends and staffers. Most politicians are content shaking hands and kissing babies. Ryan is said to be especially devoted to the philosophies of Ayn Rand and the Catholic Church. That is like saying a singer embodies the techniques of Luciano Pavarotti and Bob Dylan. Can such a person really be described as either serious or an intellectual? You don’t have to be an expert on Rand’s philosophy or Catholicism (I claim no expertise on either), but the differences are as obvious as the differences in style between the aria “Nessun Dorma” and “Like a Rolling Stone.” Ryan is a devout Catholic, Rand was an avowed atheist. Ryan’s Catholicism leads him to oppose abortion under any circumstances, even in the case of rape or incest. Rand believed in abortion on demand. These are not small differences unless you think a jug band sounds like a symphony orchestra. Ryan shrugs off the conflicting beliefs to which he is apparently devoted. He doesn’t agree with Rand’s social views, just her strong belief in self-reliance and capitalism. That fact itself, that Ryan can so easily compartmentalize his beliefs, speaks to his lack of seriousness. It is not only on social issues that Ryan’s self-professed devotion to Rand is called into question, but his world views as well. Neither Romney nor Ryan have any foreign policy experience. It is strange that the Republican Party of 2012, which once trumpeted its foreign policy expertise as being crucial to our national security, has two novices. The Romney campaign attempts to give its candidate credibility, saying he has business experience overseas, which is almost as silly as claiming you can see Russia from your kitchen window. Romney and Ryan have drifted into the neo-con or hard right of their party. Ryan believes government spending can be cut every which way except where the military budget is concerned. Like Romney, he expresses the belief in an open-ended
commitment to keeping American troops in Afghanistan and believes in supporting whatever actions Israel’s right-wing government decides to take in the name of self-defense. While that government’s policies are fiercely debated by Israelis, apparently there is no room for such debate in the United States, just docile support. Rand was decidedly anti-war going so far as admitting, in a 1967 appearance on “The Tonght Show,” that the government could not force a person to fight even if the country were attacked. Maybe Ryan would care to comment on just how it squares with the neo-con’s view that a pre-emptive strike in Iran is necessary. Would Ryan adhere to the Rand view that certainly would have made it impossible to support the Marshall Plan after World War II where we, in effect, saved Europe from communism? As you can see, these contradictions in Ryan’s professed beliefs don’t involve just social issues. On domestic spending, Ryan is at odds with his own church. The church was at odds with Ryan’s proposed budget for lacking a “moral criteria.” His plan calls for slashing spending on social programs while at the same time proposing, beyond even extending the Bush tax cuts, up to a 30 percent reduction for the wealthiest Americans. On his plan to gut Medicare, Ryan leans toward Rand and away from his Catholicism. The Ryan Plan is so toxic to even members of his own party that the best thing he can say is it won’t apply to people currently 55 years and older. Isn’t it the height of political cynicism to appeal to the senior vote by promising that they will be spared Medicare changes at the expense of their children and grandchildren? Seniors are not supposed to care what happens to future generations. Ryan tries to have it both ways — neither of which would satisfy his church or Rand. By making Medicare optional for those currently under 55 when they become eligible, all he does is insure that the healthiest Americans will likely opt out of Medicare. Herding the most ill elderly among us under Medicare would doom the program. Rand expressed a belief in totally unregulated capitalism. Someone should ask Ryan whether he rejects child labor laws, food and drug regulations and environmental regulations. All of them? Rand does. Ryan has shown the willingness to compromise his own principles when it comes to lobbying for government funds for constituent businesses or voting for an unfunded drug supplement to Medicare or for tax cuts while fighting the war in Iraq. He is complicit in turning a budget surplus into a deficit. Is Paul Ryan really serious? I have a tip that will help his credibility. Either stop giving out copies of “Atlas Shrugged” or put away your “Baltimore Catechism.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.
The luxurious ‘Cosmopolis’
Eric Packer (Robert Pattison), from left, a young billionaire, chats with his estranged wife, Elise Shifrin (Sarah Gadon) in “Cosmopolis.”
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
M
aking “The Dark Knight Rises” look like “Occupy Wall Street for Dummies,” David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis” has the eerie, savvy sheen of a movie wholly unaware of its unmistakable relevance. This is no mere accident, as the film, which takes place in a sort of fever-dream version of 2010 New York, is not a reactionary work; it’s a pristine adaptation of Don DeLillo’s prescient 2003 novel, the first of the author’s books to be translated for the screen. On the micro scale, it focuses on Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson), a 28-year-old billionaire whose entitlement sends him across gridlocked midtown for a very specific haircut. On the macro, it charts a highly familiar economic meltdown, which is especially bad news for our limo-riding hero. Beautifully rendered and effortlessly retro, “Cosmopolis” has the aesthetic appeal of both a chic new art film and an old Cronenberg classic, boasting the bittersweet luxury of the modern 1 percent, and the screen-conscious tech flair of the director’s “Videodrome.” As the lead character, a cold young man of privilege losing his grip on all things, Pattinson is startlingly fantastic, taken to places by Cronenberg he’s never been as an actor. There’s harldy enough space here to crack the film’s shell, for while some will find the faithfully transferred material indulgent and verbose, the scary-smart movie has more to say than maybe 100 films. It’s a stylized meditation on so many of our current woes, and a wonderfully curious study of the plights and fears of the modern human. It’s been years since Cronenberg delivered something this visually and aurally articulate, worthy of numerous viewings
and readings. The seemingly random, yet keenly perceptive, brilliance of its words taunts you to keep up. Well beyond Cronenberg’s usual fascination with frailty of flesh and mutilation, “Cosmopolis” is a movie of consummate decay, a mad downward spiral indicative of a man’s — and a society’s — slippingdown life. It ends with a ripped-from-theheadlines final act that’s as much a squaring off of classes as any scene concerning the French Revolution. And yet, we take it in as just a riveting, terrifically acted exchange between two men.

Recommended Rental The Moth Diaries R Available Tuesday Fans of “American Psycho” will be pleased to know that the film’s director, Mary Harron, has returned with her first new movie since 2005’s “The Notorious Bettie Page.” “The Moth Diaries” stars Sarah Bolger and Lily Cole, and explores the angst of adolescence through a prism of black magic, vampirism, and fearsome feminine betrayal. Based on the novel by Rachel Klein, the film also stars Scott Speedman and Sarah Gadon. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Bomb Bomb BBQ Grill By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
L
ast week, I took a much-needed break from writing on Hal 2000, my mind-of-its-own computer, brewed a cup of Harrod’s afternoon tea and settled in to watch the erudite Anthony Bourdain travel up the Hudson River. He met up with a group of fishermen who set crab traps in the Hudson River. Bourdain and his newfound buddies hoisted up the cages and discovered lunch was a few moments away. I had no idea blue crabs live in the Hudson River. I thought they lived in the Chesapeake Bay. As I watched the men hack away, I told my sister “I have to have hard-shells and a glass of beer for dinner.” Crabs, with or without spaghetti, are a South Philly summer staple. I wracked my brain and came up with an inspired choice. Bomb Bomb BBQ Grill and Italian Restaurant, famous for its ribs, was able to grant my wish. Bomb Bomb was one of the first restaurants I reviewed when I joined the paper. The ribs were outrageously delicious. Edward and I sipped jumbo martinis ($10) and tried to decide what he would have for dinner. My mind was already made up. We began dinner with a lovely stack of fresh mozzarella layered with slabs of juicy, filled with flavor, ripe Jersey tomatoes topped with snipped basil and bathed in olive oil and lemon juice ($8.95). This starter was summer on a plate. M a rc o n i / Pa c ke r Pa r k

A cool seafood salad ($13.95) consisted of calamari, small shrimp and scallops atop a bed of crisp greens with pitted black olives and Jersey tomato wedges. I thought the salad lacked seasoning, so a bit of salt and pepper pepped it up. Our server, who was aided by a young, absolutely delightful recent Roman Catholic High graduate, gave me a light plastic bib, a pile of paper towels, a few extra napkins, a pair of lobster crackers and a plate for the shells that swiftly led me into battle. Three jumbo hard-shells ($10) sat on an oval plate. Our busboy brought me a cocktail fork for easy claw and body digging. Oh, be still my heart. The crabs were simply steamed and not one iota overcooked. The meat was sweet and cool. I just squeezed on some lemon juice and was content for the rest of the night. I do not mind getting dirty eating hardshells. I do not mind that it takes an hour or so to pick and eat them. Edward is not nuts about this as I am. So he asked our server if the chef could make him a fried seafood combination platter ($17.95) with tartar sauce, French fries and coleslaw. The chef fried some shrimp and included a crab cake with a pile of fried calamari ($8) on the side. The squid was salty to our taste but Edward liked everything else on the plate. The tartar sauce could have been homemade and the French fries were

Selling Seafood in South Philly for over 90 years. Ippolito’s Seafood Co., Philadelphia’s oldest seafood shop, started out as a pushcart in 1919 when Guiseppi Ippolito first came to America. After 10 years of his seafood pushcart service, he was able to afford his first shop in 1929 at 1300 Dickinson St. Today, under the ownership and operation of Ippolito’s great grandson Anthony D’Angelo and his brother and sister, the establishment has expanded its products but keeps Ippolito’s wish for quality service and low prices alive and well.

“I wanted to make it more of a one-stop shop,” D’Angelo said, “so people can come in and can have dinner, can plan it and won’t have to run to a million places.” Ippolito’s staff members are trained at the shop’s wholesale facility, Samuels and Son Seafood, 3400 S. Lawrence St. With the help of marine biologists at the wholesale center with more than 30 years of experience, Ippolito’s staff can relay important information to customers. Ippolito’s also offers internships to students in culinary school. Recently, pupils from Drexel’s Culinary Arts program have worked semesters at the shop. “We butcher a lot of seafood, and obviously with all of the varieties, it’s a good experience for someone who’s going to be in the culinary field,” D’Angelo said.

Taking ni ventory
Pay close attention as you’re about to be presented with a cart-lling mission that will keep the pantry shelves stocked and stomach satised. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
L
ast week, I recommended kitchen equipment for students moving into their first apartment (“Equipping the cook,” Aug. 16). I forgot to mention a roasting pan, with lid, a can opener, coffee pot and a classic glass Pyrex lasagna pan. Keep a box of Band-Aids and a tube of antibiotic cream in a cabinet. Several weeks ago, I cut myself good trying to chop onions like Jacques Pépin. My finger was fixed up in no time. That said, it’s on to provisioning the pantry. The autumn/winter pantry/refrigerator is not much different from the summer variety. My large, walk-in pantry with bulging shelves is stocked with flour, sugar, cornmeal, cornstarch, matzo meal, a variety of pasta, rice and couscous. I also have bags of lentils and split peas. Canned goods include 28-ounce cans of San Marzano crushed tomatoes, a tube of tomato paste imported from Italy and15ounce cans of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, black beans, and Great Northern white beans. I prefer Trader Joe’s Italian tuna in olive oil and I always keep several cans on hand. I also like its whole canned cherrystone clams. Canned fish is a go-to ingredient for me and I always have anchovies and sardines on hand along with red sockeye salmon. I used to roast my own peppers but have
become a bit lazy. Roasted peppers in the jar, an assortment of jarred pitted olives and artichoke hearts packed in herbs and olive oil are tasty ingredients for salads. Several types of olive oil keep each other company. I use an extra-virgin olive oil from Spain or Italy for everyday use and particularly like a spicy olive oil from California for salads and vegetables. Canola oil, rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and red wine vinegar also should be in your pantry. I have about 24 herbs and spices in my spice drawer and this truly is a matter of personal preference. I keep boxes of Morton’s kosher salt on hand, along with a jar of peppercorns for my pepper mill. I keep my kosher salt in an Italian salt box, which is made of oak and sits on my kitchen counter. You can purchase one at Fante’s. Like herbs and spices, the contents of your fridge and freezer are a matter of personal taste. I cannot say enough about topquality frozen fruits and vegetables when they are out of season. Bags of tiny peas, French green beans, white corn, chopped spinach and sliced leeks keep company in my freezer. Enjoy your first grocery shopping trip. And have fun!
■ Lasagna Spinach Roll-Ups ■ Ingredients:
8 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
1 12-ounce bag of frozen chopped spinach 1-1/2 pounds of ricotta cheese 12 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese 12 ounces of grated Parmesan 3 extra-large eggs, beaten Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkling of nutmeg 1 28-ounce can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes
Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the spinach in a colander, run cold water over it until it is defrosted. Squeeze out all of the water. Place the ricotta cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheeses. Blend well. Add the spinach and blend well. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Blend well. Divide the cheese mixture into eight equal portions. Place a noodle in front of you. Place a portion of the mixture on the noodle end closest to you. Roll up like a jelly roll. Continue until you have eight rolls. Place them in a glass lasagna pan. Spoon over some of the sauce and top with the remaining cheeses. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes. Place the remaining sauce in a pot and gently heat through. Serves four.
Note from Phyllis: This was the first dish I prepared for my roommates and me. You can doctor up the sauce by adding garlic powder, basil, oregano and thyme from your spice rack. If you have fresh herbs on hand, by all means, use them.
■ Summer Salad ■ from the Pantry and Freezer Ingredients: 1 15-ounce can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1 15-ounce can of Great northern beans, rinsed and drained 1 8-ounce bag of frozen corn, defrosted 1 15-ounce jar of roasted red peppers, rinsed and sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkling of herb of your choice 1/2 cup of olive oil Juice of 2 lemons
Directions: Place all of the salad ingredients in a serving bowl and toss well. Whisk together the oil and lemon juice. Pour over the salad. Serves four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

A Point Breeze native is using track to help youngsters to improve more than just their athletic identity By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

Daryl Nelson, from left, and Joey Ferretti Jr. have established a successful sixmonth bond as core pieces of the Southwest Track Club. They will look to further their status beginning with next week’s preparation for cross country-season. S ta f f
and 400-meter distances, said. “His time with us has definitely helped him to better his agility and endurance.” The teenager received a rapid test of his resolve April 14 at Edison High School, as he and his peers competed at Philly’s Finest. The event — one of nine outdoor challenges he and fellow South Philadelphians Naila Sudan, 7, and Semaj WorkmanMcKnight, 9, faced from April through July — helped Joey to understand becoming a top competitor requires unwavering dedication. “I haven’t minded accepting that,” the youngster, who runs the 200, 400 and 800 along with the mile, said. “If I’m in the club, it means I have to keep believing.” THE WHITMAN INHABITANT has already earned great proof of his discipline’s payoffs. Though he enjoys the 800 the most, he has derived the biggest boost from his 400-meter performances.

Ferretti Jr. “I hadn’t known about track, but I liked it immediately,” the 14-year-old said of his first practice, a March indoor jaunt at Southwest Philadelphia’s Francis Myers Recreation Center. “I know there are physical and mental benefits to running, but I just like to run.” Becoming a club member represented novelty for the resident of the 2100 block of South Howard Street, who counts five years of baseball at the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., as his chief sports participation. With a running background, his father tricked him into believing the soon-to-be freshman at Center City’s Roman Catholic High School was going to a baseball practice. His presence pleased Nelson, whose founding of the club marked his first such engrossing venture. “Joey fit right in,” the coach, who for Neumann and Temple ran the 100-, 200-

aryl Nelson cherishes occasions to compete, such as his 1987 Thanksgiving Day masterpiece for the former St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., when he ran for 337 yards to lead his alma mater to a 43-0 thrashing of South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. The native of 22nd and Wharton streets, however, loves instances to instruct and has used his penchant for pedagogy over the last four years as the coach for the Southwest Track Club. The squad has risen to prominence through his emphasis on his members’ involvement, regardless of results, as a praiseworthy feat. “I definitely believe in sportsmanship and teamwork as the biggest components of the program,” the Southwest Philadelphian said Monday. “Acting courteously and kindly while an athlete usually translates into real life success.” After esteemed secondary football and track careers, the 41-year-old matriculated at Temple University, honing his discipline even more. Tired of accounts of violence in his hometown, he vowed to try to keep children from becoming the next generation of perpetrators and victims. “That was just a bloody year,” he said of 2008, which included 331 homicides. “So I foresaw being able to help youngsters to honor their dignity through running.” With the Philadelphia Activities Fund as his initial benefactor, Nelson established the club as an all-inclusive outlet for complete growth, with subsequent fundraisers dovetailing with the City’s annual contribution to keep his formidable charges chasing literal and figurative victories. Though his participants, ranging in ages from 4 to 21, hail mainly from Southwest Philadelphia, he has welcomed figures from various sections of the city, with eight of the club’s 112 representatives, including three current stars, coming from South Philadelphia. With increased outreach to his original stretch planned, Nelson expects to land more local contenders. For inspiration and camaraderie, that will bode well for Joey
“My first run was one minute and 11 seconds,” Joey said. “Now I’m sub-60 seconds, so my confidence is way up.” He and the other prospective champions received spring and summer guidance from Nelson at Southwest Philadelphia’s John Bartram High School Field. As the coach began the club to counter negative circumstances for the city’s most vulnerable generation, he assists many youngsters who have encountered loss through crime, parental separation and the lure of drugs. While those ills have not plagued Joey, he has found ingratiating himself to his teammates through his strong will much easier than having to consider relying on shared pain to establish unison. “The team aspect is great because we learn responsibility,” he said. The boy also has learned to be a consummate cheerleader, as four of his fellow runners advanced to last month’s 46th annual USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships in Baltimore. “We are consistently making finals,” Nelson said, priding himself on the youngsters’ ability to go from “worst to first.” Six of his athletes have earned full college scholarships, and tireless parents and assistants have helped to make likely that Nelson will celebrate more collegiate signings through their fundraising work. “We’ve come a long way in our history, but I’m not going to credit myself,” Nelson said. “The philosophy on how to succeed has always been there, but the kids and parents have meant everything to our continued fortune.” The runners will reconvene Monday to begin preparation for the fall cross-country season. They will remain on their feet for winter’s indoor track campaign before good weather returns them to the outdoors. Set to take on more responsibility, Joey finds his involvement rewarding. “Before, I’d thought the mile was too long,” he said, “but I can do it because I’ve learned to be durable.” SPR

Annual Public Notice of Special Education Services and Programs, Services for Gifted Students, and Services for Protected Handicapped Students Notice to Parents According to state and federal special education regulations, annual public notice to parents of children who reside within a school district is required regarding child find responsibilities. School districts, intermediate units and charter schools are required to conduct child find activities for children who may be eligible for services via Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For additional information related to Section 504/Chapter 15 services, the parent may refer to Section 504, Chapter 15, and the Basic Education Circular entitled Implementation of Chapter 15. Also, school districts are required to conduct child find activities for children who may be eligible for gifted services via 22 Pa Code Chapter 16. For additional information regarding gifted services, the parent may refer to 22 PA Code Chapter 16. If a student is both gifted and eligible for Special Education, the procedures in IDEA and Chapter 14 shall take precedence. This notice shall inform parents throughout the school district, intermediate unit, and charter school of the child identification activities and of the procedures followed to ensure confidentiality of information pertaining to students with disabilities or eligible young children. In addition to this public notice, each school district, intermediate unit, and charter school shall publish written information in the handbook and on the web site. Children ages three through twenty one can be eligible for special education programs and services. If parents believe that the child may be eligible for special education, the parent should contact the appropriate Regional Office or Charter School Principal identified at the end of this public notice. Children age three through the age of admission to first grade are also eligible if they have developmental delays and, as a result, need Special Education and related services. Developmental delay is defined as a child who is less than the age of beginners and at least 3 years of age and is considered to have a developmental delay when one of the following exists: (i) The child’s score, on a developmental assessment device, on an assessment instrument which yields a score in months, indicates that the child is delayed by 25% of the child’s chronological age in one or more developmental areas. (ii) The child is delayed in one or more of the developmental areas, as documented by test performance of 1.5 standard deviations below the mean on standardized tests. Developmental areas include cognitive, communicative, physical, social/emotional and self-help. For additional information you may contact Elwyn SEEDS at (215) 222-8054.
Evaluation Process Each school district, intermediate unit, and charter school has a procedure in place by which parents can request an evaluation. For information about procedures applicable to your child, contact the school, which your child attends. Telephone numbers and addresses can be found at the end of this notice. Parents of preschool age children, age three through five, may request an evaluation in writing by addressing a letter to Elwyn SEEDS at 4025 Chestnut Street, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Consent School entities cannot proceed with an evaluation, or with the initial provision of special education and related services, without the written consent of the parents. For additional information related to consent, please refer the Procedural Safeguards Notice which can be found at the PaTTAN website, www.Pattan.net. Once written parental consent is obtained, the district will proceed with the evaluation process. If the parent disagrees with the evaluation, the parent can request an independent education evaluation at public expense. Program Development Once the evaluation process is completed, a team of qualified professional and parents determine whether the child is eligible. If the child is eligible, the individualized education program team meets, develops the program, and determines the educational placement. Once the IEP team develops the program and determines the educational placement, school district staff, intermediate unit staff, or charter school staff will issue a notice of recommended educational placement/prior written notice. Your written consent is required before initial services can be provided. The parent has the right to revoke consent after initial placement. Confidentiality of Information: School districts, intermediate units and charter schools maintain records concerning all children enrolled in the school, including students with disabilities. All records are maintained in the strictest confidentiality. Your consent, or consent of an eligible child who has reached the age of majority under State law, must be obtained before personally identifiable information is released, except as permitted under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The age of majority in Pennsylvania is 21. Each participating agency must protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information at collection, storage, disclosure, and destruction stages. One official at each participating agency must assume responsibility for ensuring the confidentiality of any personally identifiable information. Each participating agency must maintain, for public inspection, a current listing of the names and positions of those employees within the agency who have access to personally identifiable information. For additional information related to student records, the parent can refer to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) This notice is only a summary of the Special Education services, evaluation and screening activities, and rights and protections pertaining to children with disabilities, children thought to be disabled, and their parents. For more information or to request evaluation or screening of a public or private school child contact the responsible school entity listed below. For preschool age children, information, screenings and evaluations requested, may be obtained by contacting Elwyn SEEDS.
