ypical parks attract more children than adults. However, grown-ups enjoyed their own brand of fun at the public opening of a 25,700-square-foot data center on Oct. 20. A $25 million investment, Philadelphia Technology Park, 4775 League Island Blvd., in the Philadelphia Navy Yard promises protection of information technology infrastructure for regional companies.
Before a crowd of about 100, Park President Corey Blanton lauded the day as a celebration of technology and commerce. With fellow industry heads and Mayor Michael Nutter flanking him, he spoke of helping businesses to find storage for their information so they may focus on improving their core competencies and increasing capital. “This building will allow us to address companies’ most common requirement for their data, including bandwidth, cooling, power and security,” Blanton said. “We
are looking to eliminate any fear, uncertainty or doubt that people may have with how to go about data preservation.” To banish worries, the park exists as a single-use, fully redundant repository. Full redundancy allows a provider to give a client backup, so to speak, for its information. The provider offers its site for colocation, which erases a client’s prospective temptation to build its own data center. “Dealing with us keeps folks from havSee TECHNOLOGY PARK page 9

To the Editor: On Nov. 2 we are all asked to vote for some very important positions that will certainly affect our future as Pennsylvanians and Americans. If you look at the TV ads, you’ll notice the candidates do nothing more than bad-mouth their opponents. They take a few words that were said in the past and edit them to tell lies. Yes, they said these things, but not in the context they are presented in these mudslinging ads. If you believed any of these ads you would never vote for anyone. I urge all voters to take the time to learn about the candidates by reading about what they stand for. Today, more than ever, the Internet allows you to find crucial information about those who are running for office. Find websites that are fair-minded and not slanted one way or the other. Most of all, find out the important issues. Know the ramifications of the changes in health care. Is your candidate pro-life or pro-choice? Are you for more government involvement or less in your life? Find out what it really means when a candidate tells you he will not raise taxes. Will this promise get you in some other way? There are many issues that will affect our lives in the next couple of years. Whatever your issues are you should certainly be clear on where the candidates stand. Please do not just vote your party line because that’s what you’ve always done. You owe it to yourself and your children to be knowledgeable about your choices. You cannot believe all of the ads you see on TV, so take the time to do a little homework before you vote and make an educated decision. You cannot complain about your future if you do nothing to change it. Ron Mento Sr. South Philadelphia
Return to owner On Oct. 16, a Saturday night, a friend and I went to Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, [Tim] Lincecum versus [Roy] Halladay. As a 53-year-old man — a Phillies fan for 47 of them — this was promising to be a great ballgame. As always, I brought my glove as part of a lifelong tradition to every game I’ve ever been to. It was a great time. Win
or lose, I love my Phillies. After the game ended, I got to my neighborhood around 12:30 a.m. or so. I figured I’d stop at local pub one block from my home, Doc’s Union Pub, 1843 S. Second St. I’ve been a patron there for many years and felt at home there. When I was ready to leave, my glove, hat and rally towel were missing. I had always hid them behind a curtain close to where I sat. This was no ordinary glove. I’ve had this glove for over 35 years. It was signed by Harry Kalas, Richie Allen and Scott Rolen. I was and still am livid. Why would anybody at that bar (all were under the age of 25) steal my stuff? Somebody knows who has the glove. They all know each other. I want it returned to restore my faith in a neighborhood I’ve spent 10 years in. I’m hoping for the best. My parents always told me if it isn’t yours, don’t touch it. These young patrons seemed to have missed that message. Needless to say, I will never step a foot or spend a dime there again until my glove is returned. This was and is a great personal part of my life. So I ask please, whoever has this treasure, give it back. No questions asked. Bob Lafferty South Philadelphia
Inside the halls To the Editor: Charter schools are siphoning off the best students coming into high school. Charter schools are not required to admit special education or English-as-a-second-language students. They can choose and select students from the lottery or based on academic performance and behavior status. At South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., I have found in the classrooms you have different nationalities and many of them do not understand English. So what is a teacher to do? They do not know what the teacher is saying and the teacher does not know what the students are saying. How can the [School Reform Commission] penalize the teachers for this problem? Students released from incarceration are placed in already at-risk
classrooms regardless of their academic standing and very little or no psychological support is given to them. The charter schools recruit the best athletes out of the public schools but after they find out the child is not academically inclined or has a behavior problem, they send them right back to the public school system. What upsets me is the [commission] is always saying the public school teachers are not doing their jobs, but the real reason is that they don’t have the proper resources to perform these duties as educators. My grandson, when he was in the ninth grade, attended South Philly High, and after leaving a charter school, he received all failing grades, but was passed to the next level. He would come home with single pieces of paper that were copied from a book and was told that that was his homework assignment. The [commission] knows these problems exist, but continuously blame the principals and the teachers. If you were to go into a classroom, you would find there are not enough materials for educators to share with the students. Immigrants struggle to learn English on the run, so there is always going to be a problem with performance. Praise the teachers at the charter schools and condemn teachers and students in the public schools. Because of the special challenges the public schools face, we should be giving them more support, not criticism. Provide all teachers with the same resources and materials so they can all be praised.

n the real world, Halloween is a night when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In ‘Girl World,’ Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.� — Mean Girls One year for Halloween when I was still in college, I decided to go all out. I got a tiara and borrowed an old wedding dress from a friend’s mom. I splashed fake blood all over my face and throat and teased my hair up into a big bouffant. It was awesome. Or at least I thought so. When I went out that night to the local bars, I received mixed reviews. The boys, who actually had put some effort into their
costumes, loved my get-up. Most of the girls, dressed as either sexy nurses, witches or cats, scoffed. One girl even asked me, “Why did you dress up so ugly?� It’s been a trend for the last five or six years now for college-aged and twentysomething women to throw on lingerie and a set of animal ears and call it a Halloween costume. It seems that if you’re a female between the ages of 18 and 25, the less you wear on Halloween, the better. I have no idea why this trend started happening or where it originates from. Granted, women were always encouraged to show up a bit scantily clad on this holiday to impress their boyfriends or husbands, but I think it’s gotten a bit ridiculous. When you are the only girl dressed like a zombie on Oct. 31 amongst a sea of mostly naked women, you begin to wonder. So I propose this Halloween girls should wear clothing as their costume. Nothing too extreme, I’m not suggesting you go out and purchase a burka. But lingerie is not a costume, unless you’re going as what my mother calls “a lady of the night.� At least wear pants. SPR

Fatal robbery
WITH THE SAINTS
SS. John Neumann & Maria Goretti Catholic High School
A local politician and a union leader are offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who murdered a Whitman resident. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
A
Whiman man was struck by gunfire multiple times in what appears to be a robbery-motivated homicide, police said. Anthony DeMarco, of the 300 block of Ritner Street, received a gunshot wound to his stomach and multiple wounds to his back at 11:29 p.m. Oct. 20 on the 200 block of Jackson Street, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. DeMarco was transported to Jefferson University Hospital where he was pronounced dead just after midnight, Russell said. Police did not have any suspects as of press time, but state Rep. William Keller and John Dougherty, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 98 business manager, teamed up to offer a $5,000 reward for assistance in identifying the shooter. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334.
Murder suspect sought U.S. Marshalls Service is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of a West Passyunk man believed to be responsible for murdering a male over a dice game in Point Breeze last month. Deven Jackson is wanted for the Sept. 29 murder of a 24-yearold during a dice game on the 2300 block of Deven Jackson Fernon Street, according to the U.S. Marshalls Service, which is offering a $1,500 reward. His last known address is on the 1900 block of South 23rd Street. The 24-year-old — Kaseem Street, of the 2300 block of McClellan Street — was shot in the head at 10:45 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene minutes later, according to police. Jackson is 5-foot-7, 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a tattoo that reads, “Mocha” on the right side of neck. To report information, call the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Tipline at 866-865-TIPS (8477).
Substance abuse Some residents awoke Tuesday morning to find the paint on their vehicles was vandalized in Whitman overnight. The earliest vandalism discovery was at 5 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. At that time, residents who parked near Second and Jackson streets as well as Third and Wolf streets saw the cars had an unknown liquid substance sprayed on them that caused the paint to bubble and peel off. Surveillance video showed a small darkcolored sedan with a gray primer hood driven by an unknown man headed west on Jackson while an unknown passenger splashed the mystery substance on parked vehicles, Tolliver said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Man sentenced for seniors’ assault The man who assaulted a Lower Moyamensing elderly couple at home has been sentenced to at least 12-and-a-half years in jail. After being convicted May 24 by a jury, Vincent Tolentino, 39, of the 2000 block of South Hutchinson Street, was sentenced Oct. 7 to two-and-a-half to 5 years in prison for two counts of terroristic threats plus 10 to 20 years for a count of burglary, according to court documents. He also was convicted of simple assault. At 1:50 p.m. Nov. 30, 2008 on the 900 block of Cantrell Street, Tolentino loudly knocked on the door to inquire about the couple’s son, according to police. While the 73-year-old wife recognized the man, she could not answer his question. Tolentino then forced his way past her, which resulted in a cut to her right wrist. Her 74-year-old husband tried to assist, but was punched in the face twice. Tolentino threatened to come back and blow up the house before driving away in a white sedan, according to police. At 3:30 p.m., police located his car and upon trying to pull him over at Juniper and McKean streets, he exited the vehicle and ran, but police soon arrested him. “This was a horrible crime on a couple that should have been enjoying the twilight of their lives, District Attorney Seth Williams said after the conviction.
Police Report Tolentino faced a maximum of 30 years in prison because of two prior robbery convictions, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Coin bandits
Fifteen laptops were stolen from a Girard Estate school after hours last week. Between the end of the school day around 3:30 p.m. Oct. 18 and the start of school at 7 a.m. Oct. 19, 15 Apple MacBooks— valued at $25,000 — were stolen from Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The computers and their batteries were enclosed in a locked mobile cabinet that was in room 205. The lock was cut. There were no suspects at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
After climbing through a woman’s window in Grays Ferry, two men locked a family in the bathroom before stealing a jar filled with coins. A man squeezed inside a residence on the 2700 block of Winton Terrace at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 20, pointed a black semi-auto pistol at a 30-year-old woman inside and told her to lay on the ground, Detective Danielle Tolliver said. He let a second man, who was armed with a small revolver, inside the home and the pair locked the woman and her 12-year-old son in the bathroom. They explored the dwelling, taking a jar containing change totaling about $80, Tolliver said. Prior to fleeing in an unknown direction, the offenders threatened to kill her if she called police. The first suspect was described as black with a medium complexion, age 20 to 25, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, thin build, clean shaven and wearing a gray hoody and blue jeans while the second was described as black with a dark complexion, age 20 to 25, 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-5, medium build, facial hair and wearing a black hoody and black jeans. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Robber sacked Two onlookers tackled a Passyunk Square man who was trying to escape after allegedly mugging a woman Sunday evening. Michael Beasley, 40, of the 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue, allegedly grabbed a 46-year-old’s purse as she was walking along the 1600 block of South Ninth Street, but the woman did not let go, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The two tugged the purse back and forth, but when they fell down, she lost her grip on the purse that contained two cell phones and $500, Tolliver said. Beasley is believed to have stood up and ran north toward Tasker Street with the woman screaming for help behind him as she chased him. On the 900 block of Fernon Street, two passers-by tackled Beasley and held him until police arrived. Beasley was arrested and charged with robbery, theft and simple assault. The purse was recovered. The woman suffered cuts to her knees, but did not require medical treatment.

After consuming some drinks, a man allegedly stabbed his friend after the two engaged in a fistfight Friday. A 27-year-old and Alberto Alvarez, 51, of the 2400 block of South Beulah Street, were drinking alcohol at the latter’s home when they began to bicker at 9:30 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The argument evolved into a fistfight when Alvarez allegedly picked up a knife and stabbed the younger man in the left side of his chest. Police arrived to the scene and located the younger man, who had run south to the 700 block of Porter Street after being stabbed, Tolliver said. The man was transported to Jefferson Hospital in stable condition. The door to the home was open and officers saw Alvarez inside wearing bloodstained clothes and sitting on the couch, Tolliver said. The knife was recovered indoors. Police arrested him at 9:55 p.m. and charged him with aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person. He was transported

ing to pay $2,000 to $5,000 per square foot for such construction,” Blanton said. It also allows clients to bring in their own equipment and run it in a temperature-controlled raised floor. Federal and state agencies require organizations to maintain primary and secondary data depots. With their reaching customers and employees through the Internet, those parties have come to need to house their computer servers and other components of their IT infrastructure. “We are here to provide network support, and we do so using various tools that guarantee an uninterrupted power supply,” Blanton said. Those instruments include an on-site fuel tank, AC power systems that deliver 120- and 208-volt service, power cabling, a fire suppression system and a 1.6 megawatt generator that would ward off the effects of a power outage. Intense security also would quell any unease over parting with material. “We have Navy Yard security from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., a period when few people are here. We are also looking to have three levels of security before people reach the data floor,” Blanton, who joined the park
THE PARK OFFICIALLY opened Sept. 14 and employs six workers. It follows in the technological footprints of its sister corporation, Baltimore Technology Park, itself a relative newcomer at four years old, and works closely with the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corp. (PIDC) to assist mid-Atlantic region companies’ data management. Following Nutter’s snipping, Blanton led executives on a tour of his nominal park. The first stop revealed the cabinets and racks where much of the data will go. The Baltimore facility, according to its president, Jim Weller, includes 300 racks in use by 60 clients. Blanton expects his cages to number around 400 if the beginning months of operation prove successful enough. If they do, he has plans for the creation of another 25,000-square-foot palace. Built above the 500-year floodplain — an area that could experience a flood having a 0.2 percent probability of occurring in any given year — the facility also has suites of up to 10,000-square-feet available, as well as a private data room, supply storage and

in May, said. Along with providing a relaxing outcome for clients, the park will generate income for the 20 to 25 people it expects to hire for technical positions within the next three years. An advocate of making Philadelphia a technological force, Nutter joked about lacking an understanding of Blanton’s diction.
“When you mentioned colocation, fully redundant servers, high-density power and bandwidth, I had no idea what you were talking about,” he said shortly before cutting the ribbon leading to the storage units. “The one thing that really makes my heart race is jobs. If we’re speaking about jobs, we’re speaking the same language. “We’re fighting our way out of a reces-

MAKEOVER continued from page 1 the graphic designer, a resident of the 1600 block of Ritner Street, volunteered her talents to the six-year-old show via a July e-mail. A 2003 graduate of the Berks County school, Mescia received a favorable reply shortly after and spent the next three days devising graphics for more than 40 individual tiles. “I had to work quickly, but I am used to a fast pace from also having worked in advertising, where everything is due yesterday,” Mescia, who has lived on the block with husband Dario since ’08, said. Her rapid handiwork, rife with bright colors, united with creations from the show’s personnel to enliven the spirits of Trisha Urban and her 1-year-old daughter Cora. On Feb. 4, ’09, Urban’s husband Andrew succumbed to a heart attack. Hours later, Cora entered the world and confusion joined her mother’s. Because of its status as a pre-existing condition, a congenital heart defect kept Andrew from receiving health insurance. With assets in her husband’s name, Trisha Urban could not counter the massive medical expenses or time’s battle against her 300-year-old log home. The makeover crew demolished the home in August, taking a few items to complement the novel fixtures. Though Mescia had to wait like everyone else for the full disclosure, a sneak peak sent her tear ducts into a frenzy. “I usually have no real reaction to my work, but when I saw what they had done, I grabbed the nearest person and cried,” she said of a pre-show reveal in Reading. “It was so bright and overwhelming.” Using multiple copies of each design, the show, which has been a ratings grabber throughout its run, has given Mescia added confidence in her decision to nurture her creative ambition. “People should follow their love,” she said of abandoning a successful eight-year advertising career to begin her own business. Big companies benefitted from her advertising acumen, but Mescia found that the competitive nature of her former field paradoxically lessened her interaction with people. “I soaked in as much as I could from the advertising world,” she said while sitting before an array of four-and-onefourth-inch-square tiles like the ones in Urban’s kitchen. Passionate about helping others, Mescia, who has specialized in numerous disciplines, founded Oscar Design Studio, which she runs out of her home. The studio serves as Mescia’s way to reach out to small businesses and allows for her workaholic personality to thrive.
Amy Mescia looks at her Pinwheels Blue design, one of more than three dozen patterns she made at the request of a major television network. The Marconi resident relied on her love of bright colors to help a desperate family. P h o t o b y I l a n a Ba g e l
For those businesses, she will work on branding, which includes logo design; promotional design, such as annual reports and trade-show signage; website design, including photography and e-mail set-up; and invitations such as bridal shower and baby announcements. “The last year has definitely not been easy, but it has been rewarding,” she said. “I have been able to learn about people’s endeavors, including those of folks in South Philly.” PARTIAL TO BRIGHT colors, Mescia knew exactly what she would craft for Urban. Receiving only minimal details from the producers, she learned of the widow’s affinity for Pennsylvania Dutch-type art, which relies on bold colors and solid geometric shapes. “I like bright colors and vintage patterns such as 1950s era pieces,” she said. “I love that Trisha has something bright in her kitchen. Everybody should have color.” She, of course, includes herself among “everybody,” so she has made home decoration a mandatory component of her marriage to Dario, the studio’s art director and production manager. “I have looked to brighten the street by painting my house yellow. It has grown on people,” she said. Within her home’s walls, she is working
on making her studio a success. Her brainchild derives its name from her grandfather, an artist who painted Pennsylvania Railroad trains. “I am having a blast,” she said of the initial stage of her five-year plan. Her relationship with Toni DeFrancesco has kept that blast constant. DeFrancesco is the founder and owner of The Tile Mural Store in Oldsmar, Fla. Following the completion of Mescia’s design work, DeFrancesco and her husband Mike made and packed 366 tiles, printing the conceptions, with names such as Tree of Life, Floral Wheel and Primped Peacock onto their creations. Mescia and DeFrancesco are teaming up to launch Bungalow, a division of Oscar Design Studio that will focus on home design. Through Bungalow, she will market her 75 designs, with proceeds from sales of the Primped Peacock tile going towards either the American Heart Association or Cora Cares, a foundation to assist the bubbly toddler, who ambled around on Sunday’s show to everyone’s delight. Having played a vital role for those close to her first home, Mescia wants to spread joy to those in her new turf. “I have started reaching out to businesses and contractors. I like South Philly because the people are such hard workers,”
she said before proving her own diligence by meeting a client looking for wedding invitation designs. Her own boss, Mescia has heard horror stories from those who left stable jobs to pursue businesses. She refrains from believing her gamble will make her grumble and has had the last few months as proof of the rewards of confidence. “I hope I can inspire others,” she said. “It is very important. We live only once.” Mescia, who briefly met Urban, considers the mother a fearless lover of life who deserves commendation for her spunk. Watching the show with her spouse and friends, she took joy in being a part of the process. As she watched, however, emotions made her question the depth of her involvement. “In the back of my head, I was thinking ‘This won’t bring back her husband.’ My husband said, ‘Nothing will, Amy, but you gave her something to help her cope through this time.’” Her husband’s note calmed her and increased her pride in having helped Urban. “This was by far the most memorable experience I’ve ever had where I got to shine a light into the life of someone who really needed it,” Mescia said.

TECHNOLOGY PARK continued from page 9 conference space. To date, it has attracted a few clients and is looking to interact with many businesses, including the 100 that Mark Seltzer, PIDC’s director of leasing and development, oversees. “We are looking for any company of any size to join us,” Blanton said. Law firms comprise part of the park’s clientele, and Blanton noted he has received interest from three universities and numerous enterprise companies. Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties boast 92 colleges and universities and thousands of businesses, so Blanton’s hopes of offering services have spiked courtesy of consistent outreach and feedback. Its Navy Yard location should assist Blanton in making his structure thrive. The country’s first naval shipyard, it became a part of the U.S. Navy in 1801. It closed Sept. 30, 1995, but over the last 15 years has become a major multi-use office, research and industrial park, fostering banks and serving as the home of several companies’ corporate headquarters. “We have five-and-a-half million occupied square feet,” Seltzer said of his sprawling terrain.
Liberty Property Trust, a Malvern-based real estate investment giant that manages the Navy Yard’s properties, has 100,000 square feet of flex space that it soon will be occupying with new buildings, Blanton said. For whatever becomes erected and its predecessors, he wishes to simplify the prioritization of responsibilities. “When people become more educated on the insecurity or instability of their data situations, they look for colocation, and it’s our job to help them to see what makes the best sense for their companies,” he said. Before the launch of the park, Philadelphia had lacked strong data centers, having only a couple locations specializing in colocation and others offering it as a secondary service, Blanton said. He hopes the park’s primary goals of securing data and freeing up companies to advance their strategies and endeavors will strengthen Philadelphia. “This area has rolled out the red carpet for us,” he said. “I’m committed to creating customer satisfaction and growing Philadelphia’s business reputation.” For more information, visit www.philadelphiatechnologypark.com.

arrah’s Entertainment revealed its intentions to become a minority partner in the stalled Foxwoods Casino project along the Delaware River Tuesday. A non-binding term sheet between the gaming company and the Pennsylvania Entertainment and Development Partners rejuvenates the plan set on South Columbus Boulevard between Tasker and Reed streets. The proposed facility would include 1,500 slot machines, 70 table games, a steakhouse and a sports bar. “Harrah’s Entertainment has had discussions for a number of years about the role our company could potentially play in the Penn’s Landing project,” Jacqueline Peterson, a Harrah’s spokeswoman, said. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s Wednesday decision whether to revoke Foxwoods’ license or allow Harrah’s to lead the project came after press time. SPR — by Joseph Myers

A handful of locals help to transform a Philadelphia landmark into the scariest place on earth. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
For weeks, pumpkins have adorned area windows and cobwebs have grown across locals’ gates. As All Hallows’ Eve approaches Sunday, the finishing touches are being put on costumes for both young and old. However, a few area residents have been dawning ghoulish masks and bloody body armor for months. “No matter who you are, there is always something that will unnerve you. I learn by just staring at you — but who stares at you during the day? You call the police if someone is staring at you in the middle of the day. I probably think about it a lot more than the average person does. It’s almost like a reflex action. I’m thinking, ‘How can I get that person’s fight-or-flight reflex to go off for just a second,” Ruben Diaz, of 21st Street and Snyder Avenue, said. Diaz is one of a handful of South Philadelphians in the 200-person cast that puts on nightly shows for “Terror Behind the Walls” at Eastern State Penitentiary from September to November. This year’s production will run its last haunts on Nov. 6 “The first time I went, I believe it was 2001, my wife was a girlfriend at the time,” Diaz, 41, said. “She had gone to Eastern State when it was just a haunted tour, so we went back and thought it was just a VIP regular daytime tour but at night. We get into what is now the intake area and a zombie-looking guard telling us all these rules. I’m thinking, ‘This is far afield from a museum tour!’ “And, I’ll tell you, and I know that I’m not alone with this, most people that work at haunted houses are absolutely frightened of going through a haunted house.” With a good scare in him, Diaz was sold by the time he made it to the other side and resolved to return the next year and join the cast — something he has done every year since. Returning crewmembers are the norm at Terror Behind the Walls, with Liz White of 10th and Moore streets no exception to the rule. continued on page 16

continued from page 14 “I used to live down the street [from the Penitentiary]. I lived for a year at 22nd and Spring Garden and my friends heard about the auditions and asked me if I’d like to go. And I’ve been there every since,” the 27-year-old said. White, who originally went through the “actors” interview to work in the haunted house, now works seasonally on the line staff, organizing and moving patrons through the mega-production seamlessly, with her specialization on groups. “I’m working every night but Mondays. Line staff’s call time is 4:15 or 4:45 and we can work until anywhere from 11 to about 1 a.m.,” White said. With the high demands of the production and the intense schedule the staff maintains during the limited run, there are a few things that keep staff and performers coming back for more. “It’s the ability to kind of disconnect and be someone else,” Diaz, a native New Yorker, said. “You’re in the same show every year and I’ve figured it out, how to scare people. Where else am I going to do that? There is nothing like the act of doing it.” “It’s just so much fun,” White, now in
her sixth season with the production, said. “There are a lot of great people that work there and cool friends that I meet throughout the years. I couldn’t ask for better people to work with. They take great care of us. And it’s for a great cause: Going back and restoring this great big prison in the middle of the city.” THE FIRST TERROR Behind the Walls took place in 1991 and was a mere shell of the multimedia creation available today. “It was a far cry from what it is now,” Diaz said of his first trip to the attraction, a decade after its inception. “It used to be plywood walls painted grey with regular lighting. Really, what is there today was just a glimmer in someone’s head. Now, it’s a chorus line and before it was just like, ‘let’s put on a show.’” Amassing cast and crew each season with various interviews applicable to the related job function — those wanting to work in the house may be tested on their ability to scream on command or elicit a response from an observer — the haunted house actually consists of multiple attractions within the 11-acre former prison. “This year I’m in the haunted house. Inside you get to play with the tricks. Outside you are the tricks,” Diaz, who works on
multiple freelance projects for his professional career, said. “This year, I’m in the intake area. We kind of move around, work in different spots so it doesn’t get boring.” White, who put in her time making people scream, prefers the serenity outside the walls for her recurring role with the production. “It’s a little different for me now, I’m on line staff. The inside actors go through an audition where they have to scream and act like prisoners and show basic acting skills. Ours is more like a professional interview,” White, who recently finished a certificate master’s program to teach elementary art education, said. Diaz and White are a small sampling of the many backgrounds and professional experience that the crew brings to Terror Behind the Walls — while many also bring particular trade skills like hair and makeup or lighting design. But all members have a love for the spookiest time of the year. “It’s the cathartic nature of being able to create a fantasy … being able to be the conduit to escape the normal everyday and allow [people] to exist in different reality or a frightening or excited or fantastical reality,” Diaz, who will be the Grandma Wolf to his wife’s Little Red Riding Hood for this year’s Halloween, said. “Anything you can do where you can play and get a
check at the end of the day, you’re coming out ahead.” Though White hung up her mummy suit a few years back, she loves to come back for the camaraderie the unique experience builds. “A good memory would always be our last night. We all get together in the yard and we get to really show our appreciation for each other and toast and enjoy our last night together,” White said. “It’s really sad to be done and bittersweet. It’s hard because you are cold and tired, but you won’t have your friends around anymore.” In the end, it’s all fun and games, and if anyone is getting bumped or bruised, it’s the performers who do physical maneuvers throughout the evening. Patrons may have a heart flutter or two, but it’s really about the laughter. “It’s more a comedy show. I’ve done stand-up comedy and there is really just such a fine line. If you scare someone, there is high chance that everyone with that person is going to start laughing,” Diaz said. “That’s who you really connect with … the people I scare get what I’m doing and the people laughing get why I’m doing it.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

The season of the kvetch
H
George Lonegan (Matt Damon), center, has a connection with the afterlife, which inevitably leads him to cross paths with others who face death.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
t feels sour to cut down Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter,” since the spiritual drama is clearly its 80-year-old director’s intimate, artistic tango with mortality. But sourer still, I’m sorry to say, is the thought of ever sitting through it again. Almost consummately listless, yet oddly hasty in the telling, “Hereafter” is Eastwood’s least forgivable and most buttnumbing case of that’ll-do filmmaking, with his growing permittance of mediocre takes compounded by a narrative that lacks wisdom and never reaches higher than stating the bland and the obvious. Though the movie contains the occasional ear-opener regarding “where we’re all headed,” provocative thought about its themes is soundly choked out by its sheer sterility. Written by the oft-erudite Peter Morgan (“The Queen”), it features a plump and painfully restrained Matt Damon as a hollowed-out clairvoyant who’ll make you nostalgic for the spirited, commercial-break brilliance of Miss Cleo. Running parallel in the story are a French newscaster (Cécile De France) who barely survives a tsunami in the only stimulating scene, and a British boy (Frankie McLaren) whose twin brother is predictably killed in a car accident. Searching for answers about what goes on when the proverbial lights go out, these three simplified characters are chosen to represent the whole of humanity, yet their paths, which inevitably and anti-climactically converge, have all the urgency and weight of tumbleweeds. And Eastwood, whose minimalism once served him well, extracts any remaining stamina with his uniformly graying colors, a score comprised only of sparse piano chords, and
the coaching of excessively dialed-down performances. The movie even seems bored with itself. Thankfully, things never grow battyfantastical or sappy-sentimental, as Eastwood’s sensitivity remains that of the blue-collar, man’s-man variety. Instead, though, we get an unchallenging meditation on the concept of Kingdom Come from a filmmaker whose proud inertia is present through the final frame. Eastwood doesn’t know how to end a movie about the afterlife, nor, apparently does he know how to make one, except by delivering something that’s dead inside.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I October 28, 2010
ang on, dear reader. By this time next week there will be no more political ads for a while. Try not to miss those 30-second spots designed to win our hearts and minds by casting opponents into the role of evil villains. What will we do for entertainment until next November? I plan to idle away my time listening to the greatest hits of Trini Lopez. Are you old enough to remember Donovan singing “The Season of the Witch?” This is the season of the kvetch meaning a “persistent, whiny complainer.” This election season, it has been raised to a high art form. The campaign ads prove it. Where do they get these unflattering photos of their campaign opponents? In the local U.S. Senatorial race, Joe Sestak looks as if he is suffering from a terminal illness in the Pat Toomey ads, and Toomey looks as if he is suffering from terminal constipation in the Sestak ads. Both accuse the other of caving to Wall Street and wanting to cut Medicare. Toomey accuses Sestak of being too liberal, which seems odd after the accusations. Sestak played the ultimate trump card by featuring his dog to answer Toomey’s charges. With Toomey’s lead melting away, perhaps he should pose next to his tank of exotic fish. The most damaging charge leveled by Sestak is when Toomey claims you can hardly tell him from Rick Santorum. Santorum was a mistake voted in twice by voters, but was eventually defeated for reelection by Bob Casey, the dullest man on earth next to the late Ed Sullivan. There is much kvetching in the Pennsylvania governor campaign ads too. The Democrat, Dan Onorato, has spent much of his campaign advertising how to pronounce his name. You know you are in trouble when you have to keep reminding folks who you are after months of campaigning. Tom Corbett is the Republican candidate. His ads also feature Onorato holding up a sign with his name while he repeats “I am Dan Onorato” over and over again. At least both candidates agree on Onorato’s identity, even if the rest of us aren’t quite sure who he is or if his eyebrows are painted on. We all know Corbett as the current attorney general of our state, but only for two reasons and both of them are bad. Corbett is one of the attorney generals who is su-
ing to overturn the Affordable Health Care Act because he believes it’s unconstitutional to mandate that a person buy health coverage. (There is no word on whether Corbett intends to sue to overturn the minimum auto insurance requirement.) Corbett also believes unemployment compensation is essentially a scam. If he loses, will he be able to collect unemployment insurance? Corbett claims he once talked (presumably on a golf outing at an exclusive country club) to a few business buddies that told him that jobs go begging because folks rather collect their compo checks. What they forgot to tell him is most of the jobs are barely above the minimum wage, require an engineering degree and there are five applicants for each opening. I have a feeling that Tom’s buddies also believe that the minimum wage is too high. There are some positive ads around the nation — make it one positive ad. The perky candidate for the Delaware Senate seat, Christine O’Donnell, has actually run a campaign ad without one kvetch about her opponent. Her “I am not a witch” ad is not only a positive affirmation of herself, but is topical for Halloween. Grumps like me have made fun of her for the ad, and we should feel ashamed. O’Donnell also is the first right candidate to admit she favors a theocracy (she feels that the “separation of church and state” is not part of our Constitution). Her next positive campaign ad may feature O’Donnell suggesting that the sacraments be made mandatory. The Republican candidate for New York governor, Carl Paladino, can kvetch with the best of them. Rarely has a candidate been less photogenic. His opponent doesn’t have to retouch photos of Paladino to make him look bad. Under Obamacare, he would be denied coverage for the preexisting condition of resembling a laboratory cadaver. Paladino is the toughest of tough guys. He makes Tony Soprano look like a metrosexual. Male toughness has become an issue in campaigns where men are opposed by mama grizzly types. In Nevada, Sharon Angle told Harry Reid to “man up” as did Sarah Palin to the president. Linda McMahon, a Connecticut U.S. Senate candidate and the wife of World Wrestling Federation mogul Vince McMahon, has uttered similar phrases. When Linda claims that if elected, she can whip the senate into shape, she literally means it. Her opponent wants to kvetch about her business sending jobs overseas, but he is understandably afraid that she might make him crawl around a wrestling ring on all fours and bark. There are no campaign theme songs these days. In the season of the kvetch, the only “music” is a whining sound. SPR

very once in a while a craving to just get up and start baking hits. Some cooks start thumbing through recipe after recipe trying to decide what to make. But if you only had time to make one, which would it be? If you’re looking for something requiring minimal preparation and only takes an hour to bake, try Fran Griffith’s Nut Bread. The resident of the 100 block of Mifflin Street combines her seven ingredients in a mixing bowl then bakes, slices are serves. For a sweeter taste, she suggests adding a little powdered sugar or butter. SPR

here are two major events taking place Tuesday. The first, and the most meaningful, is Election Day as Pennsylvania’s next governor will be decided. But it also is Day of the Dead — a time for Mexicans to remember and honor a deceased loved one. In conjunction with the holiday, Distrito, 3945 Chestnut St., beginning at 2:30 p.m., is hosting a festive celebration with DJs, face painters and affordable street food snacks. It’s followed at 8 p.m. with a special Herradura tequila dinner ($65 per person), which includes a cocktail reception, followed by a delectable menu of dishes paired with tequilas. Call 215-222-1657 or visit www. distritorestaurant.com. SPR

Le Castagne By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
I
cannot think of a finer way to spend an autumn Sunday afternoon than going to brunch and a matinee performance of the Pennsylvania Ballet. The premiere of Roland Petit’s “Carmen” was on the bill along with “Concerto Barocco,” one of my favorite dances choreographed by George Balanchine. I thought about Spanish food, but I prefer breakfast fare to tapas at 11 a.m. Edward and I wanted to brunch at a restaurant near our home and then stroll down Walnut Street to The Academy of Music. I recently received an e-mail about Le Castagne’s Sunday brunch. The restaurant décor is sleek, modern and elegant. All the fittings were made in Milan. I especially liked the long, slim hanging lights over the bar. We settled into a table for four by the large windows which front Chestnut Street. Tables are set with white linen and contemporary tableware. Two young men took fine care of us. We sipped a bloody mary ($8) and looked over the menu. “We also have a buffet brunch for $20,” one of our servers advised. “You also can order an entrée for half price from our menu.” This was an exceptional bargain. The buffet features brunch and lunch dishes which run the gamut from bagels and nova to the fish of the day. We made several trips to the chafing dishes and eye-appealing displays of cool foods. Each time we returned, our table was clear. An assortment of charcuterie was a light

way to begin a satisfying brunch. Imported prosciutto di Parma kept company with salumi, chunks of Parmigianno-Reggiano, imported fontina, thinly-sliced smoked salmon, tiny capers and individual ramekins of chopped egg whites and yolks. Homemade cheddar muffins, almost biscuit-like in taste and texture, were topnotch. I slathered them with butter and enjoyed my antipasto. I asked our server for some olive oil. He brought a small dish along with a demitasse spoon. The Mediterranean selections were tasty and fresh. White anchovies, a selection of olives, marinated artichokes, roasted peppers, tiny cubes of cool roasted beets and a tossed salad served as a second course. The best way to enjoy brunch is to rest a bit and restore one’s energy and appetite. The chafing dishes contained roulade of flounder; veal Marsala; small crab cakes; scrambled eggs; fat slices of bacon topped with maple syrup; chubby sausages and rosemary potatoes. I helped myself to crab cakes and bacon. Sounds strange, but when enjoyed separately, they were fine. I like to taste the salt in bacon, but the sweetness of the syrup disguised it. The sausages were plump, juicy and filled with flavor. The crab cakes were just OK. At least they were not overcooked. Edward and I shared the eggs Benedict ($12 a la carte, $6 with the buffet). We received a most inspirational culinary rendition of this classic. The chef uses a cookie cutter to fashion a round of toasted Italian bread. He places some Prosciutto di Par-

ma on top, tops it with a perfectly poached egg napped with dreamy homemade hollandaise heady with truffle. With this in life, nothing is bad. A chef must respect the egg. The white must be slightly hard, the yolk golden and oozing when broken with a fork. If awards are given for eggs Benedict, this one wins. Our entrée was split in the kitchen so we each received one portion served on a warm plate. Next up was a plate of fresh fruit including juicy, sweet, ripe pineapple slices, California strawberries which imparted a lovely aroma but little flavor, chunks of melon and slices of kiwi. The homemade Danish were outrageous. Flaky buttery pastry was topped with either cheese or raspberries. Cinnamon swirl coffeecake took me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. All Danish and coffeecakes were small and individually sized.
Edward ordered coffee ($3), but I was completely satisfied. I took a small sip. It was strong, freshly-brewed and piping hot. Edward and I were the sole brunch patrons during the hour-and-a-half we spent at Le Castagne. I can only assume few know the restaurant is open for Sunday brunch. At Le Castagne you will enjoy a fine meal in beautiful surroundings. You will not be disappointed. Three tips of the toque to Le Castagne. SPR

Two food writers recently shared stories of their expeditions in the kitchen. With their respective entourage to satisfy, only the tastiest of recipes will do. By Phyllis Stein-Novack
E
Food Columnist
very writer strives to find and perfect a unique voice. For me, it includes my cast of characters. I enjoy their company, conversation and contribution to my life. My husband Edward, who hates the dreaded zucchini; my sister Sandy, the picky eater; cousin Carl, the wandering Jew (is he in South America or visiting the cousins in Florida?); my dear friend Christopher, the true Southern gentleman and fine chef; Alexander, the trusted attorney with the soul of a poet; his cousin Dan, the attorney with a delicious sense of humor; Jim, the financial advisor who always is willing to try new foods; and Kevin, the computer wizard who saves me like a damsel in distress tied to the railroad tracks whenever my computer Hal 2010 goes berserk. I have always enjoyed the musings of Melissa Clark, a James Beard Foundation Award winner. I read her Wednesday columns in the New York Times. We have a few things in common: We are nice Jewish girls; we each have one sister; we are city girls; we love cooking for others and ourselves; and both include a cast of characters in our work. In fact, the cast is an integral part of what we do.
Melissa and I tweet and e-mail each other but have never met. I recently interviewed her by phone. “I have foodie parents,” she said from her Brooklyn, N.Y. home. “Conversation is important in our family. So much was done over the dinner table.” Clark did not set out to become a food writer, but she always has loved writing and food. “I was compelled to do an M.F.A. at Columbia University because I come from a Jewish family who values education,” she said. “In 1993, I became a pioneer food writer. I began to write online as a volunteer.” Clark started blogging and the publishing offers began to come in. She is now the author of 29 cookbooks that she co-wrote with well-known chefs. Her new book, “In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite: 150 Recipes & Stories About the Food You Love,” is her first solo effort. Clark’s cast of characters includes her parents; her sister Amy Sara Clark, a journalist at The Jersey Journal; her husband Daniel Gercke, who works for McGrawHill Companies; her 2-year-old daughter Dahlia, named in honor of her favorite Uncle Danny who introduced Clark to sushi; Aunt Martha; Aunt Sandy and a host of others.
Clark noted she is not a picky eater. “I love seasonal vegetables fresh from the farmer’s market,” she said. “But I have a big sweet tooth. I love to bake and eat cookies, pies and cakes.” Her dedication sums up much of what she and I feel about what we do. “To my parents, who taught me firsthand just how deeply food means love,” she said. Here is a recipe for an entrée I cooked from Clark’s book.
■ Braised Pork Chops ■ with Tomatoes, Anchovies and Rosemary Ingredients: 2 (1-1/2-inch thick) bone-in pork chops, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced 3 large rosemary sprigs 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 pounds of plum tomatoes, roughly chopped
6 anchovy fillets Polenta, noodles or rice, for serving
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the pork chops generously with the salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, place 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chops until well browned, about three minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and sauté the onion and rosemary for about five minutes, until golden. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, anchovies and remaining salt and pepper. Cook for about eight minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down. Add the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chops. Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven to bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads 145 degrees, about 15 minutes. Allow the chops to rest for five minutes in the pan. Serve with the polenta, noodles or rice to soak up the sauce. Serves two. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

Mercy Starts With Me
“ I’m back on my feet thanks to Mercy!” As a mother of four and grandmother to seven, I have always led a very active lifestyle. Developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and diabetes changed everything. I became so weak I could not walk and my doctor ordered me to remain on bed rest. He also recommended Mercy Home Health physical therapy to help me regain my strength and get back on my feet. It was a miracle! After just a few sessions with the physical therapist I was able to get out of bed, walk around my home, and even go outside for some fresh air. Not only did my therapist help me physically, she also gave me the skills I needed to remain safe, maintain my health and live independently. Now, I’m keeping up with my family again!

Foot soldiers
Two area schools are battling for league supremacy this week. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
C
ooler temperatures soon will arrive, but nothing will staunch the competitive fires of the area’s high school football quintet. Late October involves either playoff pushes or pursuits for respectable finishes. With the month’s final days upon them, the following schools have spent the last eight weeks contesting top foes and one another for a place in the city’s pigskin lore. Th e B o k Te c h Wildcats, 1901 S. Ninth St., are gearing up for Saturday’s Public League Class AA
championship game against Imhotep Charter (1 p.m. Saturday at the Simon Gratz super site, Germantown and Hunting Park avenues). Coach Tom DeFelice’s squad is seeking to avenge its 28-6 regularseason loss to Imhotep. The defeat also marked the end of Bok’s 43-game regular season winning streak against Public League foes. The Wildcats advanced courtesy of Friday’s 35-14 Public League AA semifinal win over Del-Val. Senior Kahlil Neal registered 15 carries for 72 yards and touchdown runs of 2- and 13-yards. Junior backfield mate Shaquil Simmons eclipsed the century mark for the fifth time this season with an 106-yard effort highlighted by his 16-yard touchdown run. For the year, he has racked up 835 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Defensively, the 6-2 Wildcats, who are holding opponents to
12.8 points per contest, were led by junior Christen Lilly and his 77-yard interception return for a touchdown. He finished the contest with two picks. The Furness Falcons, 1900 S. Third St., open the Class AAAA playoffs 3 p.m. Friday at Frankford, Large and Dyre streets. This group, now in its fourth season as a varsity program, has won six of eight games, including five of six against AAAA Silver teams. A stingy defense has catapulted coach Anthony Pastore’s bunch, as it has yielded only 92 points and has posted three shutouts. Junior running back Sharif Smith needs only 12 yards to hit 1,000. His 15 rushing touchdowns and the seven from senior quarterback Maurice Harris have helped the Falcons to average nearly 24 points per game. Last Thursday at the super site, 10th and Bigler streets, Furness fell to Fels, 22-14, a defeat that cost them the division title. Down 16-14 entering the fourth, they surrendered another score and gave up the ball on downs when mounting their final drive. “The kids played hard. I knew it was going to be a tough game. They were just a little bit better tonight,” Pastore said. THIS SEASON HAS been an example of feast or famine for the South Philadelphia High Rams, 2101 S. Broad St. Hold-
ing a 2-6 mark, the team has registered two shutout wins, but has been shut out four times. Coming off Friday’s 6-0 blanking of Mastbaum, the Rams face Germantown 3 p.m today at 10th and Bigler streets. Senior tight end Juwan Bennett has snagged 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns, while sophomore running back Wayne Brunson has gained 185 rushing yards on 44 carries, reaching the end zone once. Tony Beaty’s Prep Charter Huskies, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., have won two straight to take their record to 3-4. Both of their Public League AA victories have come via shutout, and they have allowed only nine more points (126) than they have scored (117). Sophomore running back Anthony Wyche and senior wide receiver Charles Barber have scored a combined 10 touchdowns. Wyche sports a healthy 7.4 yardsper-carry average on the ground, and Barber has totaled 379 yards on 32 catches. Seeking to level its record, the team will play Mastbaum 3 p.m. tomorrow at the super site. In Catholic League play, the Ss. Neumann-Goretti Saints, 1736 S. 10th St., have gone 3-5 heading into Saturday’s 7 p.m. scrum against Bishop McDevitt at Cheltenham High School. Rich Carfagno’s boys have posted two shutout triumphs. Averaging 16 points for and 31 against, the Saints have struggled to develop an identity. What is clear, however, is that they rely on the passing game more than most teams. Senior quarterback Mark Stinsman has connected on 55 of 105 passes for 505 yards and three touchdowns. His scrambling ability has also taken him to the end zone five times. Senior fullback Justin Rey has amassed 275 rushing yards on 63 carries, four of them going for touchdowns. SPR Review Intern Alvaro Balderas contributed to this article.
