redy, an undocumented 19-yearold student at Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., emigrated from Mexico at age 12, leaving his grandmother and his ethnic home behind. After the forced move, he had to adapt to a new language, culture and school, surrounded
by individuals who, in some cases, didn’t accept his background. Keeping his emotions inside for more than seven years, Fredy finally had the opportunity to discuss his immigrant experiences with others as part of Bella Vista artist Michelle Ortiz’s “Aqui y Alla” mural project at 1515 S. Sixth St. “We started talking about our personal things in life,” Fredy, who resides with his
mother at Ninth and Tasker streets, said. “That was the hardest thing because I don’t like to share my thoughts with people. And in [the discussions], there were all these sad stories. ... We were saying the truth. One of the things that I talked about was that my grandmother passed away last year and since then, I had been fighting with my See AQUI Y ALLA page 10

How do you think the Eagles will do this season?
Calling experts to the stand
“If the Eagles decide to show up and play the game, they will be a contender this season. I believe they have the potential if they show up. I think they also need a new head coach.� Andrew Ricciardi, Alder and Ritner streets
“I think they have a good shot. They have a good team this year with Michael Vick.� Bobby Love, 11th and Wolf streets
“I honestly don’t know. I think Michael Vick is talented but distracted by all the drama surrounding him. Andy Reid is past his prime and with the death of his son, it will be a difficult season for him.� Megan Sarraf, 10th and Jackson streets
“I think they have a good chance. It has been a good year for Philadelphia and hopefully they stay on that track.� Sarah Welsh, Third and Wolf streets

To the Editor: Sexual assault is one of the most personally violating crimes, and a victim’s response to these crimes is often misunderstood. Thanks to a new state law that took effect Aug. 28 prosecutors in Pennsylvania courtrooms are allowed — for the first time — to call on expert witnesses for factual testimony about the behaviors of sexual assault victims. Why is that important? Most jurors do not know that the brain processes and stores traumatic memories differently than any other type of memory. In addition, it is vital for jurors to gain an understating of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is not like what you see on an episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.� Hearing clinical information from expert witnesses such as physicians, psychologists and sexual assault counselors will help jurors understand why a victim of sexual violence might have found it difficult to report the crime, delayed disclosing the assault, or remembered the details in sequential order. Pennsylvania is the last state to enact this law. Advocates for sexual assault victims applaud the many people — including prosecutors, law enforcement, legislators, the governor’s office, victim’s rights advocates, and victims themselves who bravely told their stories to highlight the need for this legislation — who worked toward the bill’s passage. Advocates from Philadelphia were a part of this effort with members of the District Attorney’s Office, Special Victims Unit and Philadelphia’s only rape crisis center, Women Organized Against Rape, testifying twice before members of the state House of Representatives. Until now, justice in the courtroom was tilted toward the offender, because jurors weren’t given the knowledge they needed to understand all of the challenges victims face. This law will help jurors make decisions based on information and insight. In taking a stand for victims of sexual assault, it moves Pennsylvania one step closer to safety in our communities and justice for all. Jill Maier Director of Counseling Services Women Organized Against Rape

olice are investigating the homicide of a former Southern hoopster. Robert McKee, 24, of the 1200 block of Bainbridge Street, was gunned down with a shot to the head at 5:46 a.m. Tuesday on the 600 block of South 12th Street and was pronounced dead at the scene six minutes later, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. McKee relocated from Glen Mills in 2005 to his grandmother’s Hawthorne home where he also lived with his brother, Tywain McKee, who is currently a pro ball player in Russia for the BC Triumph Lyubertsy Moscow Region. However, after enrolling at South Philly High School, 2101 S. Broad St., he was deemed academically ineligible his junior year. With mentoring from a neighborhood coach and his brother, who is the all-time leading scorer at Baltimore’s Coppin State University, McKee, known as “Elevator Man” for his dunking skills, had a change in attitude. The 6-foot-3 forward’s high school career ended with a second-round exit in the ’07 state tournament, but the then-senior impressed his coach with a second-quarter basket. “That was the best dunk of the year,” Southern coach George Anderson said after the loss. “[McKee] actually took the ball to the basket with a man on him. That was an amazing dunk.” Since high school, McKee played at Baltimore City Community College, but had a few run-ins back in his hometown, including arrests for assaults and drug possessions, according to court records. Most of the charges were withdrawn with McKee set to appear in court Monday regarding an alleged possession charge. Police did not have a motive or suspects for his homicide at press time, Russell said. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Mail-slot break-ins Police are alerting residents to be proactive if their dwelling’s mail slot is close to their door knob and/or dead-bolt lock. Thieves are using a new method access and burglarize homes: Reach through their
mail slots. “In these incidents, thieves were able to remove the flap, or sometimes the entire mail-slot frame, from the front door of the residence and then simply reach in and unlock the door, walking right into the home,” according to a 3rd District release. Police are seeking a burglar who entered a South of South home that way. The offender walked up to the dwelling on the 2000 block of Kater Street, reached in its mail slot and unlocked the door sometime between 5 p.m. Aug. 17 and 1:11 p.m. Aug. 19, police said. He looted the front bedroom, taking $52,000 in belongings, including two computers, a PDA, 26 watches, 2 necklaces, 7 rings, collectable coins, antique décor and cash before fleeing in an unknown direction. The suspect was described as black and wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap. A similar incident occurred in Queen Village, with several wristwatches, including a Cartier Watch, being stolen between 6:15 a.m. Aug. 28 and 2:45 a.m. Aug. 30 on the 800 block of South Swanson Street, police said. The 3rd District advised those who have a mail slot located in the middle of the door to relocate it to the bottom of the door, make it smaller or seal off the slot and use a locked mounted mailbox. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Wounded on the holiday A teen was shot in the leg in West Passyunk on Labor Day. The 16-year-old heard a gunshot when his leg began to ache as he was walking on the 2000 block of South Croskey Street at 12:30 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Police transported the boy to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in stable condition. Police, who did not discover an ballistics evidence at the scene, did not have a motive or any suspects at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/ forms. SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L.

ALCORN continued from page 1 kindergarteners through fifth graders, with the added spot, formerly King of Peace School, grooming sixth through eighth graders. “We have had Alcorn on our radar for some time,” Penny Nixon, the district’s chief academic officer, said of the 80-yearold institution, which in February received a “10,” the worst possible score, on her employer’s School Performance Index. “We knew efficient changes had to come to sustain it.” Through a January 2011 announcement, the district had sought to transform Alcorn into a Promise Academy under the Renaissance Schools Initiative. A huge component of then-Superintendent Arlene Ackerman’s Imagine 2014 design to achieve a six-year graduation rate of 80 percent, the plan included the elementary facility because of its and the area’s struggles with academics, illiteracy, unemployment and violence. Facing significant financial woes, the district removed Alcorn from the initiative, Nixon said, yet deemed it a Renaissance Alert school because of chronic deficiencies, including lackluster scores on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. “Our outreach revealed that academic worries and lack of space mattered most to parents and guardians,” Nixon said of Alcorn, which last school year served 589 students. The district, Alcorn’s School Advisory Council and the Southeast Pennsylvania Network for Family, Health, Education and Welfare teamed to craft solutions to the dilemmas, including furthering the neighborhood’s relationship with Universal Companies, 800 S. 15th St., which runs Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St. “We have had heavy talks about Alcorn’s future since October,” the network’s Vernard Johnson, a community activist, said, noting presence at School Reform Commission meetings stressed the severity of countering concerns with action. The summer proved so fruitful that Nixon issued a letter to the Alcorn community Aug. 10 to invite its members to an Aug. 15 meeting at the academy. King of Peace closed in 1999, but the district has used it as a haven for transition students, conduct code violators in need of intervention before their return to traditional settings. Crossroads of King of Peace last year guided 80 pupils in third through eighth grades, later absorbing the Crossroads of Hunting Park to swell the figure to 156 learners. “Because that site has been helpful to us, we felt it would make a solid choice for middle schoolers,” Nixon said. “We had heard the disappointment from
James Alcorn Middle Years Academy teachers gathered Tuesday morning to discuss procedures in preparation for their new educational adventure to better the lives of their students. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
parents and wanted to rejuvenate their hope,” Johnson added. Nixon said 175 people attended the evening gathering, through which they received a formal breakdown of her missive’s contents. Its 2010-’11 report, the last available one through the Office of Sustainability, shows that Alcorn met only eight of 24 targets in student achievement, school operations, community satisfaction and school-specific indicators, though it made strides in a few key areas, including its PSSA reading and math marks. THE ACADEMY WILL aim to boost results with a rigorous design that also includes writing emphasis, special education designees will engage in targeted programs and a college-and-career pathways model will establish links between a sound education and professional opportunities. Nixon noted the chief component will be the preCareer and Technical Education offering, which Universal will oversee as a way to encourage vocational deliberations and to court learners as future Audenried attendees. “That definitely will resound well with residents, who have said their children’s future matters most,” she said. Those same inhabitants will have chances to use the academy’s parent and fam-
ily resource center and to connect with a health and wellness community network. The youngsters will have the same opportunities and will be able to enrich their time at the site through intramural sports, an increased emphasis on technology, including the acquisition of laptop cards, and a robust arts, music and dance curriculum that will include the composition of one-acts plays through Philadelphia Young Playwrights, which holds an annual festival for budding scribes. “At the meeting, I saw so much enthusiasm when we laid out specifics,” Nixon said. Her letter told Grays Ferry figures they “should look forward to a new, improved climate and culture at both school campuses and high expectations to dramatically improve student achievement.” Though it may seem as if only the older students will benefit, the younger set will receive the guidance of new principal Reginald Johnson and, to assuage safety concerns, will, like the others, have shuttle bus service. “We and the School Advisory Council have worked hard to establish a feasible plan,” Vernard Johnson said. Though the council elected not to comment on the academy’s creation, he figures to be a frequent converser with principal Sheila Mallory. As Alcorn, which last
school year had 93.9 percent of enrollees dubbed “economically disadvantaged,” is one of the 64 Intensive Support and Intervention schools, the new learning location will receive monthly site visits, with data analysis seeking to gauge the effectiveness of providing middle schoolers with such an array of services, most of them, Nixon said, new ideas. She and the district are finalizing after-school options with South of South-based Universal, which has tried to position itself as a savior for Point Breeze and Grays Ferry, areas the Philadelphia City Planning Commission three years ago recertified as blighted and requiring revitalization. “What I have encountered are people who are optimistic but cautious,” Vernard Johnson said Friday on his way to inspect the academy. “They want improvements and to say goodbye to underachievement.” He noted the involved parties are approaching their efforts as elements of a one-year stopgap measure that will definitely depend on fervent attention to details and outcomes. “We have committed participants,” he said. “Now comes the task of making their involvement work.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

AQUI Y ALLA continued from page 1 mother.” Ortiz, of 10th Street and Washington Avenue, spent more than a year planning and raising money for “Aqui y Alla,” which translates to “Here and There.” The theme of the mural is immigration through the perspective of young, immigrant — specifically Mexican — teenagers. It incorporates the struggling voices of local children who already have crossed the border, as well as students in Mexico waiting to make the trek. “These two worlds are still interconnected,” Ortiz said. “And for those that come here, still have nostalgia of being back home and for those that are over there, not all of them, but most of them because of necessity, want to be here. So there is already a communication that is happening on both ends.” Ortiz’s mural project began after she did two art education residencies in Mexico, specifically in Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico, through the U.S. Embassy. After drawing connections to the immigrants in the U.S. with the ones in Mexico, Ortiz wanted to find a way to bring ideas from the artists to Philadelphia. At the same time, Ortiz was planning a documentary about South Philly immigrants telling their stories, and wanted to involve the voices of immigrant teens. Collaborating with the Mural Arts Program and Philadelphia Academies Inc., raising money herself and receiving grants, Ortiz was able to conduct a mural project that was uniquely her own. “The reason I wanted it to be my own vision is because I wanted to be able to create a curriculum,” Ortiz said. She wanted to provide an opportunity for students to talk about struggles in a community — with a growing Mexican population — that often overlooks the conversation. “I think [this experience] helped me by taking all the sad things I have inside and sharing them with people,” Fredy said. “That was the thing I was not used to doing. I used to stay quiet, get angry by myself, get mad with other people, so I think it helped me a lot. I just talked to my mom. It was not like that before.” Aside from Fredy, eight other immigrant students, mostly from Furness, worked alongside Ortiz on the Passyunk Square mural from July 2 to Aug. 15. Painting is still being touched up this week, and will be finished for an early-October dedication. Fourteen indigenous teenagers in Mexico worked with four artists and community leaders whom Ortiz trained in Juarez and Chihuahua City. After seeing images of what the painters in Philadelphia constructed, the youth in Mexico produced transportable murals on fiber cloth panels that are currently being shipped to the U.S. These panels then
porated into the mural,” Ortiz said. “We are talking about a story based in Mexico ... but having those markers represents the cultural diversity that exists specifically in this neighborhood.”
Patricia Barrera, assistant to artist Angela Ortiz, added some finishing touches to “Aqui y Alla,” a mural that will be dedicated next month. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
will be installed onto the mural to create one conversation between the youth. The left side of the creation depicts Bryant, a young resident from Fifth and Dickinson streets, who represents 7-year-olds forced to come to the U.S. from Puebla, Mexico. It is around Bryant where the panels from Mexico will be incorporated. Diana, of Sixth and Tasker streets, is painted on the right side of the mural, rep-
resenting young teens that have crossed the border. The mural details an immigrant’s story, drawing on issues like economics, struggles and changes. Ortiz also included ethnic symbols — such as Hindu, Celtic and African images — around Diana that different immigrant groups in the neighborhood submitted. “All of those images are actually incor-

BORN AND RAISED in South Philly by Latino immigrant parents, Ortiz grew up surrounded by people from all different cultures. She first-handedly witnessed the connection her family had with different immigrants — all working toward the “American dream” — but also discovered tensions between different ethnic groups. “I think that falls into why I would even come up in doing a project like this,” Ortiz said. “It’s because I, like many of the students that were in our program, know what it’s like to speak two different languages, live two different types of cultures, and have another way of looking at things and living life.” Ortiz wanted the basis of her project to use art as a means to bring people together, giving them a voice and making them visible. “My role as an artist and my skill as an artist really can help give presence to a community,” Ortiz said. “I don’t think a mural is going to give us world peace, but I do think that a mural becomes a point of encounter.” Once Jerry Gramaglia, a South Philly native who owns the apartment building on which the mural was painted, learned what Ortiz wanted to do with the wall, he was hooked. “Being that my parents were Italian immigrants, I had no problem with [Ortiz] doing the mural,” Gramaglia said. “People tend to forget, I think we’re all immigrants. All us Americans are all immigrants at some point down the line.” A neighbor — a half Italian, half Chinese man — stopped to tell Ortiz how he connected with the artwork, even though it depicts people from a different ethnicity. “What I realized as we were putting up the mural, whether the neighbors are Mexican or not, they identify with the mural because they know what it’s like to come from a different country and come into a new one and settle your roots in a place that was strange and foreign,” Ortiz said. Early Friday evening, members of Las Cafeteras – a Son Jarocho-inspired band from Los Angeles – stopped by the mural for a photo and video shoot before their performance at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square. “Story telling is political because often we’re taught to be silenced, we’re taught that our stories aren’t valuable if we’re not on TV or if we’re not a politician,” Daniel French, who plays the jarana, sings and dances for Las Cafeteras, said. “But, the power of this mural is that it’s letting all of us know that our stories are worth putting on a wall.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

Seeking ‘Consul’ Co-run by a Queen Village resident, a company stages its second full-length opera starting tomorrow for the Philly Fringe Festival. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
F
or this year’s Philly Fringe Festival presentation of The Philadelphia Opera Collective’s “The Consul,” a piece by Gian Carlo Menotti, audience members won’t need a tux. “We started our opera company to make it accessible to people not familiar with the opera world,” Michael A. Lienhard, of Sixth and Bainbridge streets, said. “It’s for someone who is not normally a theatergoer, but goes and says, ‘Hey, I didn’t think I’d like it but I did.’” Founded by Lienhard and maestro Reese Revak, of 12th and Reed streets, last year, The Philadelphia Opera Collective is a group of local artists in the operatic field with the objective of making opera an art form for the masses. “Last year when we did ‘Susannah’ half took place in a church, so the audience was surrounded by the opera,” Lienhard, who produced and performed in the 2011 piece, which was the group’s first, said. “This year opera singers will be able to make eye contact with the audience members. Typically, they are separated by a full orchestra.” “The Consul,” an American opera that debuted in Philadelphia in 1950 at the Shubert Theater, explores political refugees suffering under an oppressive government. The political ties, Lienhard felt, were apt with the coming elections. “It’s an American opera and it’s in English. We’re excited because it’s a beautiful piece of music and we feel it’s accessible for the election year. We have a wonderful director, Brenna Geffers,” Lienhard, who is producing the work, said of the show’s stage director, who resides at Clarion and Reed streets. “She is one
Lifestyles of the biggest up-and-coming directors in Philadelphia and she is a brilliant mind. She creates a wonderful edgy world, and brings this opera to life in way people can really get into and feel.” With shows 8 p.m. Sept. 7, 8 and 14, at the Jolie Laide Gallery in Old City, the 50-seat space will be ringing with emerging voices and Revak’s musical accompaniment. “We are very excited because we have some of the most dedicated and talented artists in the city. Some of them, it’s their first opera, and I enjoy helping them along and nourishing some people. Then we have people like David Arnold who sung at the Met for years,” he said. “We have a wide range of talent. It’s exciting to be a part of it.” BORN IN EASTON, where, Lienhard said, “Crayola crayons are made and Weyerbacher beer, which is a delicious brewery,” comes from, he was surrounded by music from an early age. “I did like Broadway and that sort of thing, but I grew up with opera. I had an Italian immigrant mother who came from Italy at about my age,” Lienhard said of mother Teresa, from Calabria, who emigrated from University in Rome to the States. “We always had opera playing in my house. I was
’I really liked to sing in high school and I was in a musical and a teacher heard me singing and said, ‘You could actually do this’ so she started giving me lessons.’ — Michael A. Lienhard attached to it and loved it.” But his passions didn’t turn into personal aspirations until his junior year of high school, when Lienhard decided to give his own vocal chords a spin. “I really liked to sing in high school and I was in a musical and a teacher heard me singing and said, ‘You could actually do this,’ so she started giving me lessons,” he said. Two years of training earned Lienhard a spot at Temple University, where he studied vocal performance, knowing his aspiring career as a tenor would be an arduous one, and, hopefully, a fulfilling one, as well. “I’ve been steadily improving as a tenor, just trying to learn as much as possible. I’m a 25-year-old tenor so I’m still paying my dues,” Lienhard, who finished out his master’s in the same subject this spring, said. “I have a heavier voice for a tenor and that causes some complications. With a lot more weight you have to learn to negotiate it with the voice. If you bring the whole kitchen sink up, you have a bit of
a problem. You have to be strong enough to relax.” Nearing the end of his undergraduate studies, Lienhard added an Italian minor to his course load. “It was very important to me to be able to read and write in Italian. I could always speak it with my family, but I wanted to read and write for my career choice,” he said. “And for my grandparents … to be able to speak to them in a more refined way and really connect with them while I can.” With many professional opera singers hitting their peak after their 30s, Lienhard is still training diligently and performing and producing along the way. The collective, which came into existence just prior to the 2011 Fringe and has started to perform impromptu concerts select Fridays at the Singing Fountain, 11th and Tasker streets, is a fulfilling professional step for the singer’s young career. “We’re planning another concert through this company. I think it’s important to give

everyone an opportunity, not just myself,” Lienhard said. “To give myself an opportunity, that is not the reason I’d start a company — I think our mission is much greater than that. Occasionally, I will sing with them. I’ve been lucky to do a decent amount for someone 25 and a tenor.” With final rehearsals last week for the show that debuts tomorrow and also features locals Katie Ayash, its stage manager from 13th and Tasker streets, and Chad Somers, the leading baritone of 21st and Christian streets, Lienhard was focusing on “organization.” “Opera companies are notoriously unorganized,” he said. But he was confident opera fans and opera-newcomers alike will be pleasantly surprised with “The Consul.” “What really makes us unique is the fact we are not just producing musical music. Any opera across the city can do that. What’s different about us and what’s unique is we take that music then we add the drama and try to marry music and drama and make sure there is a story being told,” he said. “This is not just indulgent singing for singing’s sake. “We’re going to create an edgy visceral opera that is dynamic.” SPR

M
y ideal convention would last just one day. We all know nothing is decided at conventions anymore. Everything is preordained and scripted. There are no surprises. Gone are the days when state-by-state balloting actually decided the party’s presidential nominee. This year even the identity of the vice-presidential nominees are known. All that is left are the endless speeches and choreographed celebrations (why do the delegates always wear hats that Minnie Pearl would have tossed in the trash?). Just think how many balloons would be saved by the following reforms. Shorten conventions to one day and include an innocuous non-denominational invocation that will not claim the Creator is on the side of one particular party. (The Lord reputedly voted by absentee ballot, otherwise he might have been asked to show a valid ID in Pennsylvania.) Eliminate voting by state. We already know the outcome and it will do away with the head of the North Dakota delegation having to come up with a reason why that state is the greatest (It’s not). A simple announcement of the party’s nominees will suffice. The phony celebration that follows will be limited to five minutes and clearly labeled as having been orchestrated and scripted by the respective national committee. The presidential nominee’s speech will be limited to 20 minutes while the vice-presidential nominee will speak for only 10 minutes as befits the lesser importance of the office. The vice-presidential nominee will be allowed to freely offer his or her opinions instead of renouncing all previous beliefs that don’t concur with the top of the ticket. Eliminate the extended applause after each candidate says, “And I accept your nomination,” because the very fact that they showed up and spent millions of dollars on campaign ads would be really stupid if they weren’t going to accept their party’s nomination. A brief prayer to end the proceedings should follow asking God to forgive the hypocrisy of the evening. The convention should then be gaveled to a close, just in time for the 11 o’clock news. Note: If either party believes the votes of atheists could swing the election, the prayers should be replaced with recitations from the writings of Richard Dawkins and Christopher
Hitchens or that famous atheist Ayn Rand. As for the matter of party platforms, the convention chairperson should acknowledge up front that everyone ignores the platform. What follows is a list of platitudes expressing faith in the American voter (everyone knows we are scared witless at how easily many of them are led) and goals that can’t possibly be met (Democrats should be reminded they are as likely to cut the poverty rate in half as Joe Biden is to not say something embarrassing. Republicans should be reminded they don’t believe for a moment Americans will ever agree to forcing a rape victim to term). Bottom line: No one should take our platform seriously. A good platform is one that is forgotten the moment it is set to paper. Perhaps the individual planks should be written using an Etch A Sketch. The one good idea put forth this election season by one of the Romney people. If anyone at the convention expresses a belief that politics has gotten too extreme, the networks should immediately cut to clips from the 1964 Republican Convention where Barry Goldwater made his speech defending extremism and the delegates all but donned brown shirts. If anyone suggests there is too much friction within the party, the media should show clips from the ’68 Democratic Convention, which featured a riot outside the Chicago convention and Mayor Richard Daley making threatening gestures to Sen. Abraham Ribicoff inside the convention. That also was the convention where a security guard punched then-CBS correspondent Dan Rather in the stomach. For media haters, it doesn’t get any better than that. You might want to show that clip a couple of times. A word must be said about former presidents who don’t come back to their party’s convention after leaving office. Former President George W. Bush, who was absent from this year’s Republican Convention, might have been too busy clearing brush or maybe not. I do not believe the scurrilous rumor that he stayed away from Tampa because he has an aversion to hurricanes since Katrina. It is more likely the Republicans did not want him at their convention when their big theme is reducing the deficit, given the way “Dubya” turned a surplus into a deficit faster than David Blaine can make an elephant disappear. Richard Nixon also became persona non grata in ’76 as did Lyndon Johnson at the ’68 Democratic Convention after the failed war in Vietnam helped him to decide not to run for re-election. Political conventions are not without some accomplishments. They boost cable TV rerun ratings and force local news to cover something besides the latest water main break.

If the temperatures continue to soar to the 80s, a chilled beverage will provide instant satisfaction during the cooling off period. Carol Mape’s Orange Smoothie also makes for a healthy on-the-go breakfast or tasty after-school snack for those back-to-school scholars. The resident of the 400 block of Jackson Street uses yogurt, juice, canned fruit and sherbet to form the perfect mixture. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.

Capriccio at Café Cret By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
A
number of years ago, some Philadelphians mused about adding shops and cafés to the beauty that is the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. I loved the idea that I could order a café au lait, sit outside and watch the people go by — just like I do in Paris. Alas, this never happened. There are a few restaurants on or near the parkway such as Asia on the Parkway, Mace’s Crossing, T.G.I. Friday’s and Con Murphy’s. A little while ago while on my way home from shopping at the Reading Terminal Market, I noticed a group of pretty red umbrellas poking up from an open space on North 16th Street. Last week, on a somewhat cooler sunny afternoon, Sandy and I walked up the parkway and decided to lunch at Capriccio at Café Cret. The place has seating indoors as well as outside. It is cafeteria-style and opens very early in the morning so nearby office workers can grab a cup of La Colombe coffee or Mighty Leaf tea. Sandy and I found a table inside and settled in. We sampled a number of items. None were very good. A bowl of chilled tomato soup ($4.75) had an off-putting taste. The woman at the counter obliged and gave me a bowl of gazpacho since the offending soup was the last bowl of M a rc o n i / Pa c ke r Pa r k

the day. It was thin, watery and tasted like someone dumped an entire bottle of Tabasco in it. I could not detect any other flavor at all. One taste was enough for me. Sandy’s grilled cheese sandwich ($5.25) consisted of two slices of whole grain bread, which she did not like at all, layered with a few slices of American cheese and placed on a panini press to warm it up a bit. The bread was dry and grilled without the benefit of butter. Now, I am a grilled cheese aficionado. I was brought up on them. A grilled cheese sandwich is a triumph of taste and texture. The bread has to be sufficiently buttered to add flavor. Your fingers should be a little greasy, in a good way. “This bread is awful,” Sandy said. “I just don’t like it. It is dry and tasteless.” My roast beef sandwich ($7.25) was built on the same bread. It tasted like dry gravel. A slice or two of slightly overcooked beef was placed on a slice of bread which was spread with a dab of whole grain mustard. Next came a little provolone, which lacked flavor, a slice of tomato and spring mix. Huh? Who puts spring mix on a sandwich? Is this café trying to be gourmet? Bagged mesclun has no place on a sandwich. It adds nothing. A sandwich requires a bit of crunch. Iceberg or a crisp romaine

leaf is so much better. Brewed iced tea, without sugar or artificial sweetener, was needed to cleanse my taste buds. Since Capriccio at Café Cret opens for breakfast, I decided to sample three of its muffins ($2.25 each). The banana nut muffin was as dry as the Sinai Peninsula. It lacked any true creamy banana flavor. The blueberry muffin fared better, but I wouldn’t walk a few blocks for one. Corn muffins are among my favorites. It was OK since I brought it home and heated it up a bit. Capriccio at Café Cret could be so much

Apples and honey might signify the start of another sweet Jewish New Year, but a full menu of epic portions is in order as 5773 approaches. By Phyllis Stein-Novack
R
Food Columnist
osh Hashana, the Jewish New Year meaning “head of the year,” begins at sundown Sept. 16. It heralds a monthlong series of holidays including Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Like last year, I will write a two-part column. Although the heading is Rosh Hashana, all of the recipes can be enjoyed throughout the holidays. Several weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Teri Hurst in the public relations department of the Pennsylvania Apple Marketing Program. She told me Pennsylvania apples enjoyed an early harvest. Did you know our state grows 20 varieties of apples? Slice up some Galas, Golden Delicious, Jonagolds and Honeycrisps with a pretty bowl of honey for dipping. And, don’t forget the round challah, baked only for Rosh Hashana. When I wrote my tribute to Nora Ephron (“Sharing a taste of Nora’s world,” July 26), I promised you her recipe for Tzimmes, which appeared in the July 11 edition of The New York Times. It’s a stew of vegetables and dried fruits often enjoyed during the holiday. Eating sweet foods, such as honey, wishes us a sweet new year. Ephron adored Jewish foods.
One of my favorite cookbook authors is Melissa Clark who writes a weekly column for The New York Times. Her book, “In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite: 150 Recipes & Stories About the Food You Love” was published two years ago. I interviewed her for a column and I cook from her book. Herewith is My Mother’s Lemon Pot Roast, which is perfect for Rosh Hashana.
■ My Mother’s ■ Lemon Pot Roast Ingredients: 6 garlic cloves 1-1/2 tablespoons plus a pinch of kosher salt, more to taste 4-1/2 pounds of beef brisket 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper 3 lemons 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
Directions: Mince a garlic clove. Using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a heavy knife, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt until it turns into a paste. Season the brisket all over with the salt and pepper and rub the garlic paste into the meat. Place the brisket in a large bowl or pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Finely grate the zest of 2 lemons and reserve. Juice all 3 of the lemons. Heat the oil in a 6-1/2 quart Dutch oven until almost smoking. Sear the brisket until browned on all sides, for about 10 minutes. Pour the lemon juice over the brisket and add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the meat (about 2 cups). Bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook for 75 minutes. Mince the remaining garlic cloves. Turn the meat over and add the garlic. Continue to cook until the meat shreds easily with a fork, for about 75 minutes. Stir in the reserved lemon zest and continue to cook, uncovered, 15 minutes more. Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over the meat. Serves 10 to 12. Note from Phyllis: You can roast the brisket, allow to cool completely, slice it and store in the refrigerator overnight. Simply reheat it.
■ Nora Ephron’s Tzimmes ■ Ingredients: 2 1 5 3
cups of beef stock tablespoons of butter or margarine carrots, cut in various shapes yams, peeled and cut into pieces
2 cups of butternut squash, cut into pieces 1 cup of dried apricots 1 cup of pitted prunes 1/4 cup of raisins 1/3 cup of brown sugar, white sugar or marmalade 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
Directions: In a small pot, bring the beef stock and butter to a boil. Add the carrots and boil for about five minutes until tender but not overcooked. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add the yams and boil for about five minutes until tender but not overcooked. Remove to a bowl. Add the apricots and cook for five minutes, remove, and then do the same with the prunes. Add some of the raisins for a minute or two. Then boil down the broth that’s left adding the sugar or marmalade. When the mixture is reduced by about half, remove about 1/2 cup to a measuring cup. Whisk the cornstarch into it, then add to the broth in the pot and whisk until slightly thickened. Put all of the vegetables and fruit into a large pretty casserole dish and pour the broth over it. Before serving, reheat at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Eagles Season Kickoff
Viewing alternatives
The NFL’s opening week is finally here, and as a helpful guide, here’s a list of nests away from the comforts of home to catch the Eagles.
O
ne day every week, fans set aside a block of time where watching the Philadelphia Eagles is the only thing that matters. All of the house chores and responsibilities are pushed aside in favor of three-plus hours of screaming at the TV, munching on junk food while enjoying alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverages of choice. For many viewers, it’s as simple as sitting on the recliner or sofa with the TV remote firmly secured within stretching distance. If that’s the case, use this week’s Eagles Kickoff Section as a source for ordering-in options. For others, the Sunday football tradition includes joining the crowd of 67,000-plus inside Lincoln Financial Field, 1020 Pattison Ave., but it’s a tough and expensive ticket.
Those seeking a change of scenery and freshly prepared food take the weekly routine to one of the area’s many drinking establishments where the action can be viewed in high-definition. Below is a list of some restaurants/bars looking forward to hosting Eagles fans on a weekly basis. Contact the establishments directly for gameday deals. Adobe Café: 1919 E.

here are all sorts of compelling narratives heading into the NFL season. Pro football is the subject of a concussion lawsuit by former players and a defamation suit by Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints. Losing both could cost the NFL oodles of money and threaten the power of Commissioner Roger Goodell. As if that were not enough, the question of the competency of replacement referees hangs over the regular season Tom Cardella like a shroud. But probably the most intriguing storyline of the new season for local football fans is whether the Eagles can finally win that elusive Super Bowl led by a head coach and a quarterback who might be facing their last chance to do so in Philadelphia. Only one head coach in NFL history coached the same team for 13 years without winning a Super Bowl — Bill Cowher of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He won it in his 14th season. Recently under Andy Reid, the Eagles have actually gotten farther away from their goal, missing the playoffs entirely last season. The team hasn’t won a playoff game since 2008. As if the challenge were not difficult enough, Reid is dealing with the death of his oldest son who died while at training camp. He knows the patience of the Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is wearing thin, despite his personal fondness for his head coach. Lurie issued an ultimatum of sorts after the disappointment of last season. Just as Reid faces tremendous pressure to win it all this season, so does his quarterback, Michael Vick. Vick is a riddle wrapped inside an enigma. He got his chance when Kevin Kolb went down and made the most of it. His incredible talent is, at times, overshadowed by turnovers and injuries. Like Reid, he has never won a Super Bowl, and most observers believe this may be his last chance with the Eagles to achieve that goal. In one of the more bizarre decisions of his tenure, Reid named former offensive line coach Juan Castillo his defensive coordinator last season. You didn’t have to be a football genius to see that Castillo seemed overwhelmed. Players were routinely caught out of position and penalties cost the team dearly. The assumption among a lot of us was Castillo would be replaced as Reid entered this potential make-or-break season. He is still the defensive coordinator, and we are still being told about his tremendous work ethic. But the real question is not whether Castillo works hard, it’s whether he is one of a
relatively handful of men who can make in-game decisions to outwit the opposition’s offense, and do so while still learning on the job. Assurances that Castillo has been surrounded by capable assistants only make you wonder why one of those assistants isn’t running the defense. The defensive line is as “deep as the ocean,” but hopefully not “as high as the sky.” Adjustments have now been made to the wide-nine scheme to better contain the run. The linebackers will not wind up in Canton when their careers end, but they are better than last year. DeMeco Ryans is not Chuck Bednarik, but neither is he the inexperienced Casey Mathews of last season. The problem is the wide-nine scheme, while fueling a ferocious pass rush, exposes the linebackers and secondary. Highly touted Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Nnamdi Asomugha say they know their assignments. That might not sound like much until you view the tapes of last season’s games. Questions regarding ability and health remain about the safeties. The offense is loaded. LeSean McCoy is one of the best runners in the team’s history. A content DeSean Jackson should be an enormous improvement over the sullenfaced and underachieving receiver of last year. Whether Jackson can stay on the field while taking hits is another matter. The rest of the cast is stellar, even without All-Pro left tackle Jason Peters, gone for the season. It all comes down to the quarterback. Most of the early hype was about rookie Nick Foles winning the back-up QB job. The identity of the back-up QB is not a big issue on most other elite teams. The Eagles are different. Vick’s holds the ball too long and runs with risky abandon, that makes him doubly vulnerable to injury. As if to emphasize this point, Vick incurred injuries in both preseason games in which he played. He will start Sunday wearing an improved lightweight flak jacket. I don’t care if they built a protective bubble over Vick, based on his past history he will miss a minimum of two or three weeks this season. That means tossing Foles into the fray. The rookie will not be facing secondor third-unit defenses when that happens or the Cleveland Browns starters (which amount to the same thing). I like the Eagles to go 10-6 and win a playoff game. A lot depends upon whether the team finishes strong and also the strength of its playoff performance. My sense tells me that between Reid and Vick, it’s Vick that’s on the shorter leash.

Eagles Season Kickoff
It’s a guessing game T
South Philly Review staff members share their viewpoints about how the Eagles season will pan out.
he Philadelphia Eagles open the 2012 season 1 p.m. Sunday at the Cleveland Browns. On paper, victory seems to be a lock, but is never guaranteed. The tougher challenge is prognosticating a team’s performance over the course of a 16-game schedule plus the playoffs. Every season seems to start with the same question: Is this the year the Philadelphia Eagles will finally win the Super Bowl? They’ve played in two, but unlike their fellow NFC East members, the Birds have yet to win one. The defending champion New York Giants opened the season last night against the Dallas Cowboys. All of the league’s 32 teams get a fresh start this week. Staff members of the South Philly Review did some Tuesday afternoon prognosticating in hopes of accurately predicting how the Eagles will fare this season. Readers are encouraged to contribute predictions online. Bill Gelman, editor: The Eagles will
win the NFC East with an 11-5 record, but once again fail to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Winning one or two playoff games is a realistic possibility. MaryEllen Corazo, advertising sales representative: I’m being very optimistic. My prediction is Eagles will win 12 and lose 4, and we will be in the Super Bowl. Go Eagles! Jena Marshall, advertising sales representative: They’ll do well in the regular season, but lose in the rst round of the playoffs. Joe Myers, staff writer: I am choosing to see last year’s 8-8 mark as an aberration and not an omen for this season; therefore, I predict a 10-6 record and a Wild-Card berth.. Daniel Tangi, advertising manager: The Eagles should finish 12-4, only if Vick stays healthy. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/ features.

God made a sweet child, a child who never grew old. He made a smile of sunshine. He molded a heart of pure gold. He made that child as close to an angel as anyone could ever be. God made a Sweet Child and gave that sweet child to me. Then God saw his wonderful creation growing very tired and weak, so he wrapped the child in his loving arms and said “You my child I keep”. But now my sweet child is an angel, free from hurt and pain.

ence. “I just tried to throw strikes to give my team a chance.” To go along with his pitching prowess, the 12-year-old resident of the 1000 block of South 18th Street and student at Edwin M. Stanton School, 1700 Christian St., stroked two singles, drew a walk and scored twice. His team’s execution impressed Castagnini. “We loved playing on this fantastic field against a fantastic team,” he said. With only a one-day stay planned, he and his personnel had little time to see the city but eagerly anticipated their next dining experience. “No Italian meals,” Castagnini said. “We are in the United States, so we will eat American food.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

EVEN WITH A half-dozen scores in their favor, Bandura reminded his charges to sustain their intensity, which Mo’ne Davis, his lone female, acknowledged, as her fourth-inning mound appearance made the Italians look as futile at attacking her offerings as many Americans have. With only six innings scheduled, the European voyagers needed a momentum boost after yielding another score and dealing with Davis’ deliveries and had Castagnini commending their fortitude by plating a pair of two-out runs in the fifth session. “That’s OK,” first baseman Trevor McGee said. “Let’s get those back.”
His sw sweet swing initiated a four-run outburst that sank the very game Italian competitors. Trevor came in to make sure that the teams would soon have chances to share non-combative time together, as the southpaw fanned the side to help his outfit’s return to action to be a comprehensive conquest. “It was a fun game,” Bandura, who saw all 10 of his players reach base, said. “They had a few players but weren’t that strong. A nice group of people though. Everyone enjoyed it.” Members of the Philadelphia Youth Association centered at the adjacent Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 744 S. 17th St., the Monarchs showed their hospitality by endowing the journeyers with gift bags, receiving magnets and plaudits in the form of “Bravo” and “Brava” chants. “It was good, great, really, to play an international team,” Mark said of the experi-

he Anderson Monarchs baseball representatives know the feeling of being victorious guests, having compiled a 9-4 record during July’s barnstorming tour to honor Jackie Robinson’s 65th anniversary of demolishing Major League Baseball’s color barrier. The youngsters decided against engaging in role reversal Saturday at Anderson Yards, 18th and Fitzwater streets, protecting their home in an 11-2 destruction of the Italian Dream Team. Their second triumph in four months against an Italian foe gives their year another plus just in time for the fall season. “Italy reached out to us, and we accepted the opportunity,” coach Steve Bandura, who has overseen the Monarchs hs since their 1995 formation, said as his athletes finished finesse-filled fielding drills. ls. Shortly before embarking on their heir three-week, 4,500-mile odyssey, y, the South of South ballplayers defeated an Italian unit with a similar case of wanderlust. Manager Paolo Castagnini has prepared four teams to travel to the United States through the Verona-based d Baseball On The Road and had hoped this group would forge a memoemorable stand on its South Philadelphia hia stop. The reverent pre-game ceremony y included the playing of the well-received Italian national anthem; a recording of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Marian Anderson, the home bunch’s namesake; and the blaring of the “Rocky” theme. Upon the festivities’ conclusion, the local diamond figures looked to be non-Italian stallions. Third-year hurler Mark Moore received the starting nod and threw two perfect frames, which included two strikeouts. The Monarchs’ lefty-heavy lineup scratched out a run in its second swings before it really began to prove that determination and discipline can change any supposed duel into a blowout. Two-run singles by right fielder Mateen Bradley and second baseman Marquan Wallace highlighted the Bandura band’s five-run third inning, but the Italian pride never diminished, as the players, whose 10-day

NEUMANN-GORETTI BASEBALL CAMP
I’m Grey, and sometimes, it’s my mood as well. You see, I live under a car at 13th and Dickinson Street. I’m either lost or abandoned, which is what I think. I miss the comfort of indoors and cuddling with my care givers. I’m a special needs cat as well. While I do not have Feline leukemia, my doctor tells me I have the gene for HIV – but should live a long productive life. I can’t see how I could infect other cats as I have almost no teeth with which to bite them. The few I do have are in the back and they do allow me to chew dry food although I also love the treat of wet food which makes it easier for me to eat. My neighbors have been very kind to me with food and affection and have even let me in their homes to sleep from time to time. But cold weather is on it’s way and I’m desperate to find something permanent. I fear the alternative.
Won’t you please consider me as your adoptive, loyal pet?
