Netflix

and chili South Philly restaurateur, activist Cristina Martínez brings much more than just food to the table By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

I GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

South Philadelphia culinary and activism paragon Cristina Martínez, who was recently featured on ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’ and season five of Netflix’s ‘Chef’s Table,’ cuts cactus for her signature barbacoa dish at the second version of South Philly Barbacoa, which opened about two months ago on 9th and Ellsworth Streets.

f you happen to walk through the Italian Market on any given weekend, you may notice a flock of folks lining 9th Street halfway toward Washington Avenue. The crowds, who sometimes surface as early as 5 a.m., are usually looking to satisfy cravings for marinated lamb tacos made in barbacoa style – a method of meat preparation derived in the Caribbean. But the foodies could also be snagging a glance of Cristina Martínez. Some time ago, when the South Philadelphia culinary and activism paragon trekked through a northern Mexican desert for weeks, she never could have imagined where life on the other side of the border would lead – a feature on “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” or See MARTINEZ, page 10>>

Fleur needs a family

ello I’m Fleur, a little mixed breed girl from Puerto Rico. I am a little timid, so I would like a home that is on the quiet side. I am very quiet and I do my business outside. I am healthy except for my cataracts, but they don’t stop me from finding someone to cuddle with! I am OK with walking on leash, but can get scared at times. Thankfully I am small and can be carried as well…I won’t complain. I really want a home of my own with a family that will love me!

he UN issued a report last week saying that in 20 years or so, our planet will suffer a huge environmental disaster. The reaction from Trump fans is, “Yeah, but how about that great stock market? This would be fine except that Wall Street – the actual street – is going to be under water in 20 years. What is it that you don’t understand? It’s a little like saying, I moved into this new house that has termites, but hey, there’s a Trader Joe’s on the corner. I’m not going to be alive in 20 years, but I don’t want my coffin to be floating down Oregon Avenue either. Speaking of Trader Joe’s, the store’s a little too friendly for me. Everybody is smiling – the staff, the customers. Why, I ask? Is this because the peanut butter is organic and the oil doesn’t separate? What is there about shopping in a store that sells ravioli filled with Brussels sprouts that makes people lose their sense of misery that we cherish so much? Is it TJ’s seasonal FEARLESS FLYER? I know a lady in town. She reads the FEARLESS FLYER like it’s a college textbook. She actually highlights sentences in the FEARLESS FLYER. You ever read this thing? The apple sauce is described in iambic pentameter. I’m kidding. I love Trader Joe’s. You go in there lately? I’m guessing that 75 percent of their products contain pumpkin. Is there something about pumpkin the rest of us downtown have been missing all these years? In our family, we used to celebrate Fall by eating a slice or two of pumpkin pie. Nobody worshipped the pumpkin. Mom never thought to fill her ravioli with pumpkin or ditching the red gravy for nutmeg cream. Now I walk around South Philly and it seems like there’s a pumpkin in every window. At first, I thought they were busts of the President. I mean I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but what is it about the color orange that Trump thinks is so attractive? You telling me CLINIQUE doesn’t have a makeup that is closer to the normal person’s skin tone? There used to be one of these artificial suntan products around. It was called MANTAN. If you put too much on, your skin would turn orange. I had to hide in the house for two weeks after the first time I used it. Uncle Nunzi started calling me Jack O’Lantern. Now we have a president who looks as if he’s using a whole bottle of MANTAN. Maybe orange is the new white? So, the Saudis are now claiming that the jourSee CARDELLA, page 10>>

Goretti’s first class marks 60-year reunion Close to 70 members of Class of 1958 commemorated diamond milestone last week By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

W GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

Last week, the first graduating class of Saint Maria Goretti High School celebrated its 60-year reunion at Popi’s Italian Restaurant. Close to 70 ‘Goretti Girls’ reflected on their high school experiences at South Philly’s first all-female Catholic School.

ith rosary beads in one hand and locker keys in the other, young women garbed in various shades of calf-length blue uniforms walked through the doors of Saint Maria Goretti for the very first time more than 60 years ago. The year was 1955, and this newly-established Catholic high school, located at 10th and Moore streets, was not only an acknowledgment of the recently canonized adolescent Italian virgin-martyr, but also an emerging sanctuary of education for South 3KLOO\ JLUOV௘ ± WKH ILUVW RI LWV NLQG LQ WKLV VHFWLRQ RI WKH city.

Invasion of the Sea Monsters Navy Yard plays host to public art piece that has generated some buzz

By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

rom now until Nov. 16 – just in time for Halloween – the artwork of UK artists Filthy Luker and Pedro Estrellas can be seen blowing out from the windows of Building 611 at the Navy Yard near the corner of 13th Street and Flagship Drive. Sea Monsters HERE is the largest inflatable tentacle sculpture ever created by the artists and is the first collaborative partnership between Group X, a group of anonymous Philly-based artists, curators and organizers, and the Navy Yard, South Philly’s redevelopment of a former military base where more than 13,500 employees work at 150 companies, surrounded by miles of riverfront access. At virtually any time between 9 and 5 p.m., multiple people can be seen staring and taking pictures of the colorful piece of public art, which serves as a fun change of pace to their mundane work day. According to a press release, the installation employs 20 inflated tentacles ranging from 32 feet to 40 feet to form what appears to be a purple sea creature escaping from Building 611. With their sculpture, Luker and Estrellas attend to the urban

They wish to inspire the onlookers to see their surroundings in a different light. “The Navy Yard is the perfect place to create a large-scale, public installation for a number of reasons,� said Group X. “We’re aiming to make artwork enjoyable for all. We want to break through the proverbial, and in this case physical, walls that can too often keep people from feeling invited into the arts world ... and with this installation, we’re just getting started.� Building 611 is a 215,000 square-foot metal paneled, two-story building that was constructed in 1942 and served as the storehouse for the Naval Air Material Center at the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Today, the building still functions as a warehouse even as it serves as the perfect large-scale canvas for Sea Monsters HERE. “The Navy Yard is one of Philadelphia’s most iconic places, with layers of historic and modern buildings, large-scale warehouses, and maritime assets along the riverfront. We partnered with Group X to find an artist who would use the Navy Yard as a platform for art to surprise and delight the audience,� said Jennifer Tran, PIDC’s Director of Navy Yard Marketing & Communications. “We are thrilled to unveil this one-of-a-kind and striking public art installation today, which gives visitors and employees another reason to explore the

Community benefits deal back in mix for redevelopment plan By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

R

esidents voted on the development of OCF Realty’s development project at 2201 Washington Ave. at last Monday night’s SOSNA zoning meeting. As of SPR’s print deadline on Tuesday morning, the votes had yet to be counted. The 2201 Washington Ave. site is located on the block next to the Frankford Chocolate Factory at 2101 Washington Ave. The two developments are going on simultaneously by the same developer, OCF Realty, however, Monday night’s meeting and vote were limited just the property at 2201 Washington Ave. At the meeting, OCF Realty President and Founder Ori Feibush and SOSNA board member Nolan Tully announced Feibush had backtracked on his decision to not sign a community benefits agreement for the project at 2201 Washington Ave., which he announced he wouldn’t be willing to pursue at the last meeting.

“At the beginning of this week, I think we’ve started to have some productive conversations and in fact while nothing has been executed,� Tully said, “there is a community benefits agreement that is awaiting a signature.� Feibush drafted a new CBA himself and sent it to SOSNA, but it’s awaiting signature. “It’s quite public that my organization’s relationship with SOSNA started out quite rocky,� Feibush said at the meeting. “We certainly bear a lot of that responsibility as well. But we’ve had quite a few much more productive dialogues and discussions, and I believe collectively we’re all in a much better place to address some of the more ambitious goals of the neighborhood in subsequent development.� According to Tully, the CBA Feibush sent SOSNA includes street trees, agreement to support bike lanes, agreement to use durable professional products in the construction building, and the allocation of 10 percent of project dollars to be awarded to contractors who are women, minority or disability

Pictured is the property at 2201 Washington Ave., next door to what used to be the Frankford Chocolate Factory. The site of the former chocolate factory, located at 2101 Washington Ave., is also being redeveloped as part of the project. owned among other things. Affordable housing, which was a key aspect of the CBA SOSNA sent to OCF, was notably absent from the the CBA OCF sent back to SOSNA. “That was something that the community has voiced and which was part of the negotiations, but it’s not part of the current community benefits agree-

ment,� Tully said. According to architect Jose Hernandez, the proposed site at 2201 Washington Ave. is approximately 45,000 square-feet and is approximately 107 feet long north-south and 415 feet eastwest. It will consist of two detached structures, one consisting of attached townhomes another consisting of residential apartment units. The total proj-

ect will be covered in approximately 98.9 percent impervious surfaces to help with environmentally-friendly stormwater drainage. “I think it’s really hard to devise a project this size and this scope with true community input, so I’m thrilled to see so many people out voting and voicing their opinion on a very important project,� said SOSNA board chair Kevin Brown, who expressed regret over not being able to strike a deal that involved affordable housing. “I’m proud of the process we’ve taken. I’m proud to see OCF reach for a compromise with us and brought out a signature on paper that compromises them to things they’ve agreed to do. I wish we had more backing for affordable housing. I wish there was a way to make affordable possible. I wish there was a way to make a true mix-income development for everyone in the neighborhood, especially with 3,000 square-foot homes on the north end. I wish there was a way to have better balance for a neighborhood for everyone to make it work for everybody.�

GORETTI: First class at Catholic girls’ school celebrates 60 years

<<Continued from page 4 Six decades later, 67 of those same scholars gathered at Popi’s Italian Restaurant last week to commemorate the class of 1958’s diamond-year reunion, as the first graduating class marked its 60th anniversary this year for more than 470 alumnae. While faces may have matured and, perhaps, so have the conversations, the spirit of the first Lambs has not dwindled. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years. It’s amazing. It’s nice to look back on how it was when we were there,â€? said ’58 graduate Mary Fran Watters Griffith. “A lot of them weren’t familiar to me, because, over the years, we’ve all changed. And thank goodness for our name tags.â€? 5HPLQLVFLQJ VLJKWV DQG VRXQGVŕŻ˜ Âą ŕŻ˜WKH bold red sashes worn by student body members, the hymns sung by glee club, the graduates recall those infancy years as if it were yesterday. But, many say, their most distinct memory of attending the patroness-honoring school was serving as the pioneer batch of students at a time when South Philly girls were previously forced to

commute to Center City for a Catholic school education. “My earliest memory is just going into D EUDQG QHZ VFKRROŕŻ˜ Âą ŕŻ˜ILUVW FODVV JRLQJ into that school, and us being the first sophomores, juniors and seniors,â€? said ’58 graduate Kathleen Biondo. “It was just very exciting for me. Everything was so new, and it was great. I was always a little bashful. I didn’t feel that way, because we were like the seniors for three years, and that was special.â€? “I was thrilled to be first in the brand new school,â€? added ’58 graduate Rosalie Herbig. The school’s building, which broke ground in the early 1950s, was actually constructed upon an annex of St. Mary’s Cemetery in the now-East Passyunk Crossing neighborhood. Two convents were also built beside the high school, including The Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sisters of Saint Joseph, as both orders of nuns taught at Goretti alongside the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, the Religious Sisters of Mercy and the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus

under the administration of Goretti’s first principal Father Francis X. Tracey. Only one laywoman, Mrs. Kane, the physical education teacher, was on that original faculty. Graduate Gloria Cipollini Endres recalls taking photos of the building’s conVWUXFWLRQŕŻ˜ Âą ŕŻ˜D UHTXHVW IURP KHU KRPHURRP teacher, Sister Rosaria, RSM, at John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School. “As it turned out, I was delighted to hear that Goretti was being built,â€? she said. Endres, like her fellow graduates, actually entered Goretti as a sophomore, as when the school first opened its doors, only ninth and 10th graders scurried the hallowed hallways. But, the class of 1958 prides itself as always serving as the “seniorâ€? class for all three years of its attendance. Although Goretti eventually merged with Saint John Neumann in the fall of 2004, a decision that still remains contentious in the South Philly community, when the high school’s presence was all-females, the setting fostered a sense of

women empowerment, especially in the era of the 1950s, graduates say. “When you have single-sex schools, especially for females, there’s a whole different climate,� Endres said. “There’s a climate of empowerment.� From manning the hallways as monitors to serving as musicians in the graduation orchestra, the girls of Goretti spearheaded a scope of clubs and activities that the high school still sustains today. Along with a student government system, the hundreds of young women established a school newspaper, which, after voting upon the name, called it “The Crown,� as well as a literary magazine titled, “The Patroness.� They later christened their first year book “The Diadem,� also acknowledging their young patroness’s crown of martyrdom. “I probably would have never been involved with anything, because I didn’t do that earlier in my grade school years,� Biondo said.

“But, I said, getting into Goretti, and feeling like as though, we can do anything.â€? Although close to 500 members made up Goretti’s first graduating class, only about 70 were in attendance at last week’s reunion. Considering this was the diamond event, folks say it was crucial to partake in this year’s milestone. While most women traveled from around the tri-state area to attend the reunion, some even made trips across the country, like Ruth DeCristo Barone, who ventured all the way from Florida and even delivered a speech during the celebration.

Blackbird Society Orchestra celebrates iconic Eddie Lang By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

T

he Blackbird Society Orchestra paid tribute to revolutionary South Philadelphia jazz guitarist Eddie Lang in the Hamilton Garden Room at the Kimmel Center Sunday afternoon, performing a collection of songs Lang was famous for, including “I Don’t Mind Walking in the Rain,” “Stardust” and “Breezin’ Along With the Breeze.” Lang, a South Philly, Italian-born Salvatore Massaro, is largely credited with bringing the guitar into the world of jazz music during his short 30-year life in the early 20th century. As the band played, attendees refused to sit still; many danced along to the band inside the Hamilton Garden Room and admired the view of the city through the glass walls of the room perched atop the Kimmel Center. “Jazz guitarists like Charlie Christian and Les Paul,” said Blackbird band leader Richard Barnes in a pre-show interview with SPR, “in every article you read, they were all influenced by Eddie Lang.” Prior to Lang, the banjo was the primary stringed instrument used in

TOM BECK/South Philly Review

People danced to the music of Eddie Lang as The Blackbird Society Orchestra played some of Lang’s most memorable songs in the Hamilton Garden Room at the Kimmel Center. jazz music, largely because they were louder and projected better in a band. But around the time Lang was alive (he was born in 1902 and died in 1933), microphones started to gain in popularity, which served as a way to help amplify

the sound of a guitar in a jazz band. “Everyone almost overnight gave up the banjo and guitar came the new popular instrument in the band because you could hear it now,” said Barnes. According to a pamphlet given out

at the event, Lang was also credited for being one of the first musicians to perform in many interracial bands, which was not common for the time period. Lang is also associated with having played with a variety of other musi-

cians, most commonly jazz violinist Joe Venuti. However, he also performed with Bing Crosby, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith and Tommy Dorsey. His relationship with Crosby was especially close. According to Barnes, the two met in 1929, and by 1931, Lang was Crosby’s personal accompanist for his performances at theaters, radio broadcasts and recordings. At Crosby’s request, Lang went to a doctor to have a tonsillectomy completed for health reasons. He was put under a general anesthetic and the surgery was completed. Unfortunately, Lang never awoke from the anesthetic, and ultimately passed away. In many subsequent interviews, Crosby expressed regret for urging Lang to have the procedure done. In 2010, Mayor Michael Nutter declared Oct. 25 (Lang’s birthday) Eddie Lang Day in Philadelphia. In 2016, Mural Arts Philadelphia, with help from Barnes, unveiled a mural dedicated to Lang at the corner of 7th and Fitzwater streets. This Thursday, the 25th, City Representative Sheila Hess and Councilman Mark Squilla will be in attendance when the city officially designates the 700 block of St. Albans Street “Eddie Lang Way.”

Community voices concerns over library cuts In response to slashing of Saturday hours, Friends of the Free Library recently hosted meeting to find solutions By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

D

ozens of librarians, library liaisons and community members convened at Thomas F. Donatucci, Sr. Library last Tuesday evening to scrutinize, question and seek solutions regarding the Free Library of Philadelphia’s unforeseen Saturday closings that went into effect in September. Hosted by the Friends of the Free Library, an independent, nonprofit organization whose objective includes bridging the community with the city’s system, this forum was the South Philly-designated meeting and included in the organization’s “Fund our Libraries” campaign – a series of similar community meetings taking place around

Philadelphia. From patrons of the Fumo Family Library in Lower Moyamensing to the Charles Santore Library in Queen Village, residents from across South Philly voiced concerns about cutting Saturday hours and, essentially, the power players allowing such defunding. Of the 54 libraries throughout Philadelphia, only 23 are currently open on Saturdays with another six potentially opening on the weekends as staff allows over the upcoming months. “One thing to point out about this, especially with access to internet, books, information, is this an optional resource in our community or is it critical things that we need to survive?” said one of the meeting’s leaders, Kate Goodman, a facilitator of the Friends of the Free Library. “I think, especially,

the lower income a neighborhood is, the more these are services of survival and not necessarily optional.” The closures, meeting attendees say, not only diminish access to literacy, internet and other forms of research – resources that are not certain in every household – but also ravage public community meeting spaces, not only reducing a reliable neighborhood bulletin board but also undermining political power of people. Several registered community organizations, such as the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association or LoMo, hold assemblies, such as zoning meetings, in libraries like Fumo. One LoMo member noted this was the case when local libraries were closed at certain points this past summer due to malfunctions with HVAC systems.

With issues regarding building maintenance, which relies on funding, the Friends of the Free Library facilitators described the process as a “vicious cycle” of defund, cut and then eventually close. “So, part of this is – we’re starting the process of saying ‘Wow, it seems really clear that we don’t have enough money and that the (Friends of the Free Library) and the community don’t have enough of a say in how that money is used,’” Goodman said. “So, we’re at the starting point of trying to understand the budget, and we’re trying to encourage you to look at it with a critical eye, because this is your library. These are your tax dollars, and you deserve a voice in this process.” The majority of the meeting involved dissecting the city’s role in that

funding issue, including reflecting on the slashes the Free Library experienced in light of the recession in 2008 when about 20 percent of its city funding was lost. In the 2009 fiscal year, a little more than $40 million was adopted for the Free Library in the city budget, according to the the Mayor’s Operating Budget Summary for that year. Just a year later, for fiscal year 2010, only close to $33 million was adopted for the city budget, according to the adopted operating budget for that fiscal year. While the 2019 fiscal year was adopted at $41 million in funding, this figure allows for libraries next year to operate with 17 percent less funds than in 2008 if inflation and cost of living is considered, according to the Friends of See LIBRARY, page 23>>

MARTINEZ: South Philly restaurateur featured on Chef’s Table series

<<Continued from page 4 the subject of the September season five premiere of Netflix’s “Chef’s Table,” to name a few. “We’re not making simple food that you can learn in culinary school,” Martínez said, with translations from her husband Benjamin Miller, while sitting in the gallery space of the second version of South Philly Barbacoa, which opened about two months ago. “We’re learning something that you can only learn through the dedication of a family business doing for years. Apart from anything, that’s the most important that (I) want people to know.” Martínez, who is open about her undocumented status, fled to Philadelphia to escape an emotionally and physically abusive marriage several years ago while also looking to make money toward her daughter’s school tuition. Before arriving here, Martínez dedicated nearly her entire life to the barbacoa business with her family, as she was born and raised in Capulhuac – a town near Mexico City considered to be the capital of this BBQ-esque cooking. After working alongside her father and later her former husband, Martínez had more than mastered the artistry of barbacoa – from wrapping the meat in maguey cactus leaves to marinating the lamb in orange and salt. “It’s not something to throw on your menu, because it’s a buzzword or something. It’s a real, dedicated craft,” Miller explained. But, when she initially relocated to Philly, Martínez was not whipping up her signature dish just yet, as she knocked from door to door of restaurants looking for a job. While working as a dishwasher, vegeta-

was approved by the governing body in April 2017. That same month, Mayor Jim Kenney awarded Martínez the 2017 Nationalities Service Award, commending her advocacy for immigrants. She strives to shed light on working conditions most immigrants right here in the city are forced to endure, like salaries below minimum wage and inadequate and often dangerous kitchenware. “By Cristina openly sharing her story, I think it’s acknowledging a lot of people that aren’t in a position to share it. She’s sharing it very bravely about the truth of her immigration, and it represents a lot of people who don’t have that ability, because, if they were to share their story, they would be let go from their jobs or they would be under difficult pressure,” Miller said. “So, she’s accomplished so much being a successful restaurateur, and now she’s speaking to her experience and hopefully, that will encourage other people that have a similar story.” In light of recent crackdowns by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Martínez says, at any given moment, she and her barbacoa staff are ready to close their curtains and return to their countries – a reality they brave every day. For now, though, Martínez, who speaks minimal English, continues to wholeheartedly articulate her advocacy through one avenue – food. “The main message is that we’re cooking, and we’re doing the best that we can. And, we’re putting our all into the food … our team and our crew (are) very important,” Martínez said. “The people that are working with us have a lot of skills. We value them – their stories and their intelligence. And the most important message is through the food.”

CARDELLA: All the news that’s fit to consider ahead of Nov. 6 vote

<<Continued from page 4 nalist for the Washington Post died “accidentally” during interrogation? Who knew that if you stuck an electric prod up a guy’s anus for two days, that it could kill him? And why was his body being dismembered? The Saudis say, the guy just fell to pieces after the interrogation. Trump didn’t say it, but I think he was wondering – could I arrange for the Saudis to invite CNN’s Jim Acosta for a cup of tea at their embassy? I’m just kidding. Trump has more important things on his mind,

like should he record a hip-hop album with Kanye West? I know for a fact that the only reason Taylor Swift came out for the Democrats is she’s jealous of Kanye’s relationship with the President. Don Jr. has set up interviews in Trump Tower. Some say with all of Swift’s exboyfriends to dig up dirt on her. How about the big news of the week that Elizabeth Warren really has Native American blood in her DNA? Apparently, the test showed she’s anywhere from one thirty-second to one-five thousandth Native-American. Which means either her fifteenth cousin on

her mother’s side had a relationship with Crazy Horse or she once got upset after reading BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. She wanted to collect on that promise from Trump that he’d pony up (if you’ll pardon the expression) a million bucks if she could prove she’s Native American. She’s got as much chance of collecting that bet as Trump showing us his tax returns. I had a good time at the Marconi Plaza a couple of weeks ago on Columbus Day. Some folks say it’s politically incorrect to celebrate the birthday of Christopher Columbus. But since when

is enjoying the company of neighborhood friends and eating a roast pork sandwich like joining Hitler’s SS? We were at the parade to wave to Jerry Blavat, not jump for joy at the slaughtering of Native Americans. A little perspective is needed here. The only things we like about Columbus are he was born in Genoa and he sort of discovered America after it was already discovered, even though he thought he was in India. The only crime committed in Marconi Plaza that week was when some idiot(s) thought it was a good idea to spray paint the statue of Columbus.

THAT was un-American. I’m not thrilled with developer Orie Feibush either. Feibush wonders why much of the Point Breeze community doesn’t particularly like him. Maybe one of the reasons is that Feibush rejected their request that he include affordable housing in his latest development plans. Why should he when the City gives wealthy people a 10-year tax abatement for buying Feibush’s unaffordable houses? I’d settle for no INCREASE in my property taxes for the next 10 years. How about you?

The Damned revive the punk rock experience at the TLA By Tom Beck SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

A TOM BECK/South Philly Review

The Damned performed a rip-roaring, mosh pit infused set at the Theater of Living Arts on South Street Sunday night.

range of punks old and new gathered at the Theater of Living Arts on South Street Sunday for a night of mosh pits and punk rock, featuring The Damned. The band is famously one of the most prominent acts of London’s late ‘70s punk scene, and was the first punk rock band from the United Kingdom to release a single, release an album, and tour the United States. So this isn’t their first rodeo. The band played songs from their latest album, Evil Spirits, including “Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow,� “Devil in Disguise� and “Stranger on

the Town,� but also played the hits everybody knows and loves, including “Born to Kill,� “New Rose� and “Neat Neat Neat,� all from their breakthrough 1977 album Damned Damned Damned. Dressed in gothic black attire and crooning into a retro microphone, lead singer Dave Vanian sung with the same grandiose bellow he did in the late ‘70s. Many rock stars of that era have not aged with grace, but that’s not the case for Vanian or guitarist Captain Sensible, the lone original members left in The Damned (although he was initially the band’s bassist in the very beginning). Both members proved agile, dancing around energetically and matching the vitality of the audience, which was

never static at any given moment during the performance. The most rambunctious moment of the night proved to be when the band performed “New Rose� toward the end of the first set. At that moment, younger Damned fans formed a huge mosh pit that took up about half the size of the TLA’s floor, as some of the older fans scurried to the sides of the venue, away of the mayhem that ensued. It was a throwback to the golden days of punk, when mohawked individuals wearing combat boots and spiked hair were just starting to become an alternative lifestyle for young Americans on the East Coast. The show was opened by Missouri punk rockers Radke and psych-garage rockers The Darts, from Phoenix.

South Philadelphia Business Association marks 120 years Board members reflect on the past, present and future of local institution By Grace Maiorano SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

I

n 1897, a coalition of local Jewish merchants drafted a charter to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, seeking official establishment of the then-titled South Philadelphia Business Men’s Association. “The purpose for which the corporation is formed,â€? reads the 19th-century document, “is the mutual improvement, protection and advancement of business interests in South Philadelphia‌â€? While trades, infractures and populations may have shifted since these bedrock ideas were laid, the mission has remained unchanged more than a century later, as this year, the now-called South Philadelphia Business Association is

celebrating its 120th anniversary. “It was all about, back then, networking with South Philly businesses like we do today,� explained Louis Galdo, Sr., owner of Galdo’s Catering and president of the association. “As far as I see it, I think the mission has been the same. It remains the same . . . the mission has always been to support each other as South Philadelphia business people.� While the organization remained present since its inception, in the mid1960s, past-president Danny Olivieri, owner of Olivieri Jewelers, recalls the association revitalizing its activity. At 14 years old, Olivieri remembers attending the monthly meetings with his father during this period. “Basically, what the organization

was doing was forming as a group to stand together as a business organization to help each other, because we didn’t have any, if any, or minimal representation with the community or to the city,� he said. “So, standing as a group together, obviously, we had a louder voice, and we’re able to help each other with any issues and information, and we grew out from there.� A core aspect of the organization entails encouraging the creation of new commerce in the area, especially assisting potential owners get their passion projects off the ground. At monthly meetings, which are held once a month at different locations, a 13-member board, along with handfuls of the nearly 130 business members, advise rising businessmen and women with every facet of the process, ranging from zoning and licensing to advertising and marketing. The room is often dense with a scope of skills, as members of the association span from realtors to jewelers. “When you come into the association, you’re basically coming into a room full of experts,� said Jackie Fitzpatrick, senior vice president/South Group area manager of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and treasurer of the asso-

ciation. “It’s priceless information.â€? This year alone, board members say 20 new businesses joined the association, but the organization still seeks to revamp some of its practices to attract younger individuals and avoid stagnant periods it has experienced in the past. Some of these ideas include starting “speed networking,â€? as opposed to speed dating. One avenue to accomplish this renewal includes strengthening the organization’s other core value – charity. For the past few decades, the association has distributed tens of thousands of dollars in college scholarships to South Philly high schoolers. Every year, 10 to 15 seniors are given $1,000. All of the funds are built up by the business members. Currently, the association is brainstorming other philanthropies, including a Christmas giveaway that will not only provide holiday meals for four South Philly families in need but will also satisfy wishlists to Santa. “Moving forward, we’re doing a few different things. We’re definitely going after the younger people ‌ the more younger people we get in, the fresher everything becomes,â€? said Gina Rucci, owner of Popi’s Catering and vice

president of the association. “That way, we’re still doing the original mission of the scholarship, but we’re also trying to take care of people in need in our parishes, so that it affects two times a year versus once a year.� The members say this major milestone feels like a fitting time to commemorate past accomplishments while looking ahead toward the next century of work. These thoughts were presented at the 120 years anniversary gala, which was held at the Down Town Club by Cescaphe earlier this month. Board members say the event saw a turnout of more than 180 people, including Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, who gifted the association a $2,500 grant. “(The gala) really had to be something that said – this is a new beginning. It’s 120 years. We’re going to celebrate it, and we’re going to start doing even bigger things,� Rucci said.“It was really about a celebration of all of us – new, old, bringing in past presidents, everybody we can bring. It was just special, and I don’t think anybody left not feeling that way.� To learn more about the association, visit www.facebook.com/SouthPhiladelphiaBusinessAssociation.

Eagles need to find answers, whether they like it or not By Al Thompson SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW

D

uring the news conferences following the Eagles’ remarkable run to winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl, Eagles coach Doug Pederson talked about how players and fans should look for the “new normal” of success and “embracing the target” that would be on their backs this season. After losing three of four games and falling to 3-4 on the season, Pederson is forced to deal with the target that is squarely on his back. Core stars such as quarterback Carson Wentz, tackle Jason Peters, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery and linebacker Jordan Hicks are all back from injury. So is prized cornerback Sidney Jones, a high 2017 draft pick who missed virtually all of last season from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Still, the Eagles are losing, and the questions are piling up. In two of his team’s four losses, Pederson has watched big second-half leads evaporate. Against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 30 in Nashville in front of a huge Eagles contingent of fans that made up over half of Nissan Stadium, the Eagles had a 17-3 lead with 7:36 left in the third quarter. The Birds lost in overtime 26-23. Sunday against the Carolina Panthers at home, the Eagles held a commanding 17-0 lead entering the fourth quarter. For some unknown reason, the Birds, as a team, simply stopped playing. Led by quarterback Cam Newton, the Panthers roared back to score 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Birds 21-17, leaving them with their fourth loss and looking for answers. At Monday’s news conference, it was easy to tell Pederson was feeling the heat. After Sunday’s loss, Pederson had said the pressure was off now and the team could relax and play well now that the expectations had been lowered. Monday, he was asked why the message changed since the offseason. “I think what you have to understand

MIKE CORSEY/Special to South Philly Review

The Eagles have lost three of four games. Most of Doug Pederson’s key injured players have been back for weeks, and the Birds are still struggling to score and close out games. is, I was asked a question about the locker room, and how I addressed the football team, and part of that was just saying that. Listen, no one gives us a rat’s chance winning or losing. They’ve kind of written us off, so to speak,” Pederson said. “From that standpoint, yeah, the pressure should be off. We shouldn’t have any pressure going into football games. Even though, listen, don’t misunderstand, there’s pressure with every football game. Pressure

to win, there’s all of that. Sometimes, players, coaches and teams put pressure on themselves when they don’t have to, you know what I mean? To make a play.” Pederson went on to say he reminded the team to play the game as it is in front of them, to not make challenges where there aren’t any. “I talk to this team a lot about how you don’t have to go looking for plays,” Pederson said. “There’s enough out

there. Plays are going to come to you. When they come to you, make the play in the game. I believe Carolina had 58 or 59 plays in the game, right? You don’t have to make them all. So I think sometimes we put that added pressure on top of us, and sometimes that can affect the way guys play.” At one point, Pederson was asked how he was handling pressure. “From you guys?” he said. “Great.” Pederson was cordial until he was asked about play-calling and if the suddenly punchless rushing attack was affecting how he called plays. Last year, the Eagles were among the top three team in the NFL in rushing every week. When the Birds let LeGarrette Blount walk and sign with the Detroit Lions, his 766 yards and 4.4 yards per carry went with him. The Eagles brass figured Darren Sproles would be back, and Jay Ajayi was in a contract year and would be productive. Also, Corey Clement would be back for his second year and would be better. None of that has happened. Sproles was hurt in game one and has not played. Ajayi is out for the year with an ACL, and Clement has missed two games and has been playing hurt. That leaves Wendell Smallwood to pick up the slack and, unfortunately, to pick up blitzes, or at least try to. Last week, the third-year running back acknowledged that, while at West Virginia, blocking was not his job. “I think I picked up one blitz in college,” Smallwood said. Wentz is getting clobbered. Week four, in the loss at Tennessee, Wentz was sacked four times and hit 11 times. Week five, the Birds lost to the Minnesota Vikings 23-21. Wentz was sacked three times and hit eight times. He was sacked just once in the win over the Giants in week six, but hit five times. In the Eagles’ loss to the Panthers, Wentz was sacked four times and hit five times. With so little to go with in the running game, of course Pederson will pass more. How could he grind out the Panthers game with a 17-point lead if he has so few options? Pederson stuck to his guns. The coach was asked, in terms of closing out of the games, maybe he’s not fully trusting in his ground game.

“I’m trusting it. I’m trusting it,” said Pederson, who was then asked if he had the horses. “Yes, we do. We do.” Why wasn’t that the approach against Carolina? “Let me ask you to block 700-pound men sometimes,” Pederson said, clearly on the defense. “It’s not because of lack of effort. It’s not because of scheme. Listen, they get paid over there, they being the defense, get paid a lot, Carolina, to make plays on us. When it breaks down, it breaks down. You run the ball on a first-and-10, and you lose two, you’re second-and-12. Next thing you know, you go a little RPO pass or a play-action pass, you get sacked, you’re third-and-18. Those are all breakdowns that we need to correct and we need to fix. It’s not that I lose confidence in the run game. It’s not that at all.” Pederson was asked if there was a void in his coaching staff after losing offensive coordinator Frank Reich to the Colts and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo to the Vikings. “I’ve addressed that,” Pederson said. “I’m not going to address it anymore. I’m done with that one.” Pederson continued to be peppered with questions that second-guessed his strategy Sunday and if the Eagles have the personnel for a rushing attack that can be productive. Pederson was asked why he shouldn’t be asked about his decisions about his play calling and the pass/rush ratio. It ended the session. “Now you’re getting into game plan stuff. You’re getting into scheme,” he said. “You guys aren’t in there watching the tape like we are for 18 hours a day and putting game plans together. It’s easy to sit in a press box and say, ‘They should run the ball.’ Come down and stand on the sideline with me and make decisions. I should run it here, I should pass it here, let’s throw a screen here, let’s get the quarterback out of the pocket right here. No, there’s 15 seconds left on the clock. “Until you’re down there with me on the sideline making in-game decisions, then I guess you can ask all you want.” The Eagles aren’t in a free fall. They are just losing close games, and the coach is frustrated. A win over the freefalling Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London would make a lot of the questions go away ... at least for now.

EAGLES INSIDER

Underdogs to doghouse – where do Eagles go from here?

P

ick your area to critique with the 3-4 Philadelphia Eagles? The defense, which allowed consecutive touchdown drives of 80 yards, 87 yards 69 yards and a two-point conversion in Sunday’s come-from-ahead 21-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers? Or how about the offense, which ran the ball 24 times for only 58 yards in the entire game and couldn’t put the ball in the end zone with the game on the line and a firstand-10 at the Carolina 22-yard line? Or something else? The Eagles are learning some valuable lessons in the Year After Winning The Super Bowl: It ain’t easy to win in the National Football League. “We need to put teams away and we aren’t doing it,” tight end Zach Ertz said. “That’s the most disappointing

thing. Two times now, we’ve been in position to win games and we haven’t closed teams out.” There are a couple of ways to look at this team as the season enters a crucial game on Sunday in London against Jacksonville. At 3-4, the Eagles are still very much alive in the NFC East. They’re two games behind Washington in the loss column, and the Redskins have a favorable schedule, but the Eagles still have five games remaining in the division, and

winning the NFC East is how this team can make the postseason. Philadelphia still very much controls its destiny. The other perspective is that the Eagles are a deeply flawed team that has lacked consistency all season and that it’s asking an awful lot to think that this group can flip a switch and play at a high level for 60 minutes week after week the rest of the way. “The New Normal” that head coach Doug Pederson talked about in the aftermath of the Super Bowl LII victory hasn’t yet manifested itself with the Eagles. Instead, the Eagles have become what most of the NFL is these days – up one week, struggling the next and then not-so-certain the Sunday after that. That’s why only six of 16 teams in the NFC, for example, have winning records. So, the Eagles are far from out of

the playoff picture. But they’ve clearly got to play better football. What’s wrong with the team? Here are a few areas of concern … 7KH (DJOHV DUHQ¶W JHWWLQJ PXFK going with the running game. They’re 21st in the league in yards per game, 102.9 yards, and that’s just not good enough. Against Carolina, the Eagles had the football and a three-point lead with four minutes remaining, a time when running games take over and move the chains and eat clock. The Eagles couldn’t sustain a drive. $V ZDV ORXG DQG FOHDU LQ 6XQ day’s game, the defense isn’t getting off the field late in games. It happened in Tampa and in Tennessee and it happened again against the Panthers. When the pass rush is negated, teams are gaining chunks of yards in the passing

game. The Eagles rank third in the NFL in overall third-down defense, but the late-game breakdowns in those games cost the team potential victories. ,QMXULHV KDYH EHHQ DQ LPSRUWDQW factor. Losing running back Jay Ajayi has negatively impacted the running game. Without wide receiver Mike Wallace, the Eagles lack vertical speed in the passing game. Darren Sproles was supposed to be a big part of the offense, but he hasn’t played since Week 1. The defensive secondary is riddled with injuries. That’s life in the NFL. And yet, a win on Sunday gets the Eagles to 4-4 with half a season to play. Mark Sunday down as one that’s as close to a must-win game as you can have at the season’s midway point.

LIBRARY: Residents take issue with slashed hours of operation

<<Continued from page 7 the Free Library. According to Friends of the Free Library, if pre-recession levels were adjusted for inflation, the library should receive closer to $50 million. In 2018 alone, neighborhood libraries reduced regular hours 375 times due to “staff shortage,” the Friends of the Free Library say. In the FY 2019 budget, $36,659,781 was designated for employee compensation, according to the budget. This was a $514,487 increase over fiscal year 2018, which includes District Council 33 union pay increases, also according to the 2019 budget. “How the library gets money and spends money is, sort of like, in the hands of these few people at the top, but there’s two players that are not fully activated,” Goodman said. “And, in my opinion, that is the community. That’s you guys…” The other group, she says, should be the library staffing, specifically the more than 500 of the 660 employees who belong to the District Council 33 union, considered a “blue collar” organization. Last month, the Free Library told SPR the Saturday cuts were a result of “staffing constraints,” and throughout Tuesday’s meeting, librarians seemed to

GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review

Last Tuesday night, members of the South Philly community gathered at Donatucci Library to discuss solutions regarding the Free Library of Philadelphia’s unforeseen Saturday closings that went into effect in September. echo this same thought. They say a minimum of four staff members are required to open library doors on any given day. If a fourth person is on the way, they can open up, but if they’re not there after two hours, then they must close. The librarians also said, due to security issues, they’re too apprehensive to open with just three employees anyway. “I mean, I think, I want to be clear that the libraries would love to open

every branch on Saturdays, right?” asked Friends of the Free Library facilitator Miriam Holzman-Lipsitz. “It’s not necessarily an issue of saying, like ‘Why aren’t you doing this? Why don’t you want to do this?’ The issue is, like, what are the structural issues? What is the funding issue that makes it impossible to do that in this city?” Attendees broke into small groups based on their branches to dissect what exactly needs to be done.

With budget season quickly approaching this winter, Christopher B. Sample, chief of staff for Councilman Kenyatta Johnson’s office, advised attendees to reach out to local government with concerns in the beginning of 2019, stressing that, at the end of the day, decisions boil down to “who yells the loudest, who brings the most people, who tells us what’s the most important.” But now, he says, is the time for community members to start strategiz-

ing. “I have a 3 year old, and we used to go a couple Saturdays a month. … That’s how we got continued exposure to new ideas and new words and new language,” Alise Shields of the Queen Memorial Library told SPR. “And now, I feel like we’re in a rut. We have the same books at home. I can’t always make it out to the store to buy new books or buy new ones off Amazon. And so, we miss the library being open on Saturdays a lot.” Currently, there are two South Philly branches open on Saturdays, including South Philadelphia Library and Charles Santore Library. Donatucci will possibly open in the coming months as staff allows. But, residents feel that’s not nearly enough, stressing that all 54 branches and the communities they serve deserve full access to library resources six to seven days a week. “I am here for the neighborhood not for me,” Nicole Roselli, also of the Queen Memorial Library, told SPR. “I mean, it’s not OK. The kids are our future. I was a pediatric nurse for eight years, so I’ve taken care of kids of all different walks of life, and it’s not OK. This is, like, the fundamental well-being of these kids is being taken away by these hours.”

I first met Kathy twenty years ago when I popped into one of her open houses. I had fallen in love with Queen Village and knew immediately that she would the one to guide me through my first home purchase in the neighborhood she calls home. Everyone knows, loves and informs her which served me well as the home I purchased was on the market for one day! It was historic (I was looking for new construction) well UNDER my price point but she thought I should see it as she had heard it was a very special home. It was. There were three offers that first day and Kathy Conway negotiated the details for me and I WON! Nineteen happy years later it was time to move south so I called my friend Kathy and once again the home had three offers in two days!

NOVENA PRAYER TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word. which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen. S.T.J. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
