Losing a PAL A Point Breeze school is hoping a nonprofit returns to enhance its students’ social progression.

By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

“I

’m not saying we make the decisions for them, but if we give the children something more constructive, they are more likely to stay out of trouble,” Kim Smith said Monday from George W. Childs School, 1599 Wharton St. The site enjoyed a 15-year run as the host for the Point Breeze Police Athletic League (PAL) until June. Logistical issues ended the nonprofit’s slate of programs for 200 children and young adults, including more than 100 Childs students, leaving Smith and second-year principal Daniel Peou eager to counter frustration

imothy Luko Jr. does not consider himself a hero, but the Pennsport community disagrees.

It greeted the 35-year-old with music and merrymaking to mark his return from a sixmonth stint in Afghanistan at the Satin Slipper New Years Brigade, 1444 S. Second St., Oct. 22. Well-versed in patrolling areas through his role as an International Secu-

rity Assistance Force member, the technical sergeant inspected his family’s and friends’ faces and felt instant gratitude.

“Everyone went above and beyond to welcome me back,” the Wenonah, N.J. resident said Sunday from the fancy brigade’s headquarters.

In his military career, the native of the 100 block of Mercy Street has proven equally resolute, as he has devoted more than 13 years to defending his country. His tenure earned success from the apprecia-

tive crowd; melodic tributes from Fralinger String Band, 1903 S. Third St.; Quaker City String Band, 1943 S. Third St.; and the Second Street Irish Society Pipes and Drums, 1937 S. Third St.; and hugs and kisses from wife Rosemarie, 9-year-old daughter Dylan Rose, 7-year-old son Michael and 5-year-old son Timmy. Four years removed from calling South Philly home, he credits the area for his patriotism See LUKO page 11

To the Editor: Although the protestors of Occupy Philadelphia are somewhat of an “inconvenience� at City Hall, I am pleased to see that the majority of them are college students. I had almost lost hope for this apathetic generation. Finally, they have found a “cause� and are voicing their opinions about a serious economic issue.

Granted, the protestors do not have an organized agenda but their presence at City Hall each day serves as a constant reminder that corporate greed exists in our country. Hopefully, the demonstrations will continue to encourage our political leaders to create jobs for the working class and strengthen the weakened economy.

Fortunately, our freedom of speech rights are ensured in the U.S. and, therefore, it is our duty as citizens to express our satisfaction or dissatisfaction with current government leaders. Be sure to have your voice heard in the upcoming election. Vote on Nov. 8.

Carol A. Pasquarello South Philadelphia

Control freaks To the Editor: After elections are over, our two political parties claim controlling rights over the people, as each party may claim control over the House of Representatives or the Senate with its power. Yet, not so long ago, when we had real people running for office, they would say we can now represent the people as they have the right to be represented.

Today, we are controlled, not represented. It feels great knowing we have people in office controlling our rights, way of life and American dreams, as they turn them into nightmares by way of these controlling imposters.

We may not like what’s going on in Washington, yet we sit back and wait to see what our future will be like when it’s all over. Many of us don’t like what’s going on in Harrisburg either. However, it is not the political parties’ fault entirely. It’s our fault; we created control and the ignorance, arrogance and stupidity that comes with it. How? By the way we

vote. We are stupid and ignorant and these political parties feed off our stupidity. Many of us vote by race alone, and it sometimes comes back to haunt us. We vote by gender, which can lead to destruction in the future, but thousands of us vote by political party membership, as we are told who to vote for no matter what the candidate stands for. This is our destruction, our downfall. This causes control by a single political party.

It’s common knowledge that when people are in control and have no fear of being questioned or opposed by another political party or the population of people they have taken over, the complete set of every right that is American is used their way. They are now the overseer of our American way of life, welfare, safety, health and posterity. They now have the sole right to dictate what we want and need, how we will get it and when we will get it. They also have the sole right to put a price tag on it because, to them, we need this and it doesn’t come cheap.

Isn’t being controlled, owned and operated all by the same people nice?

Image scarred To the Editor: Recently, the Downtowners Fancy Brigade distributed letters to some of the neighbors in the surrounding area of the clubhouse. This letter reiterated the members shock as to the activities that were going on in their clubhouse and also stated they are a “club of fathers, sons, brothers and husbands, and do not take lightly to the fact that our club’s good name will be tarnished.�

Seriously guys, how naive do you think we are? Everyone knows when you rent a Mummers club there has to be (at the very least) one member at the function. Do you expect us to believe that your club was open by a non-member for these [alleged] Tuesday night trysts? Not only have you disgraced yourselves and given the Mummers community a black eye, but you still insist on pleading innocent to the whole operation. Instead of paying “special attention� to rentals, you should be focusing “special attention� on your membership.

PAL continued from page 1 and increasing crime by establishing a compromise with officials.

Smith, head of the institution’s parent council and a resident of the 1500 block of Wharton Street, is fighting especially hard to reunite PAL Officer Jackie Little with the youngsters, including her daughter Khayla Coleman-Smith, a seventh grader.

The building, which through the 2009-10 school year was dubbed the Norris Barratt Middle School, contains 670 learners, and the safety of all, especially the kindergarten through fifth grade classes, brought changes that led to PAL’s departure.

Childs’ layout meant possible catastrophe loomed when pupils would trek from the third floor to the schoolyard during lunch periods. Peou instituted a system through which half of a meal segment’s participants would go outside for activities while the others would eat, with rotations coming at lunch’s midpoint. That setup did not affect PAL at all, as it operated after school and used one of the basement gymnasiums for its offerings, including basketball, soccer, homework clubs, the Math 24 Challenge and Positive Images, a self-esteem building program in which Khayla is enrolled. However, when Peou suggested moving lunch times to the PAL space, confusion ensued.

“We felt the basement is the best spot for the young kids,” Peou said, citing the proximity of entrances to the location.

As a neighborhood school, Childs also serves breakfast, so the additional nutritional responsibilities and the possibility of inclement weather compelled the leader to make a practical choice that disturbed PAL. The original plan called for erecting tables for the school day and folding and securing them for the after-school events.

PAL, which did not respond to calls as of press time, could not accommodate Peou, and his reduced staff could offer no assistance either. It pulled its services and left the Point Breeze community puzzled, Smith and Peou said.

“I think PAL feels as if we pushed them out, which is not the case,” Smith said.

Peou, a former resident of Sixth and Wolf streets, South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., graduate and a former assistant principal at Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., agrees.

“I have no issues with PAL,” he said, adding poor communication between the parties has stripped his facility of its perks.

In less than five months, the absence has caused the youths to seek alternatives.

Some of their selections have landed them in prison.

“The crime rate has gone up,” Smith, a

Childs students Shakara Corbitt, front, from left, Khayla Coleman-Smith, Andrew Walker, back, left, and Troy Smith want to continue their time as eager PAL participants.

S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

liaison between Childs and PAL, said.

The community advocate knows a family that has had three members arrested and expressed anxiety about further incarcerations throughout the area. Geography is working against the children’s chances of finding a replacement. Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 744 S. 17th St., would involve the least travel, but because reaching it would likely require passing through areas rife with territorial feuds, most children will not make the trip, Smith said.

In addition to Positive Images, which assists females ages 10 to 16, four-year participant Khayla has called on PAL for cheerleading, math and tennis instruction. The organization has taken her and other registrants to numerous concerts and sporting events, yet the young lady, who won a laptop computer for a * presentation on her time with PAL, may soon have to talk about the 64-year-old entity in the past tense.

“I like having a chance to be out of the house and to be active,” the 12-year-old said of her involvement.

She feels upset about PAL’s leave and struggled to answer what she will do if Little becomes a stranger.

“We’re hoping for resolution,” Smith, who has contacted numerous sources and is distributing a petition, said. “I am hoping PAL

can take what we have and make it work.”

MANY OF THIS year’s students began their academic careers at 1541 S. 17th St., the original Childs location. Its 117-year-old status prompted the School District of Philadelphia to shutter the spot and relocate learners to Barratt, built as a junior high school. In the younger children’s nourishment nook, a mounted PAL insignia rests to the left of one of two basketball apparatuses. The area and the nearby athletic space keep Childs’ lower portion busy each day.

Peou and Smith have proposed that PAL use the latter as its new turf. The gymnasium never lacks for use, as Childs’ own programs; the U.S. Dream Academy, which offers character-, dream- and skillbuilding assistance; and the Wordsworth Academy, which assists children and families with special needs, populate the realm. If PAL were to accept the assignment, it would need to share the area and, according to Smith, adjust the days and times of its programs.

Neither Peou nor Smith could speculate on the likelihood that PAL will agree, and talks of meeting with personnel are intensifying as the school year enters its third month.

The duo sought local support Friday by conversing with Jordan Harris, Phila-

delphia Youth Commission executive director, and state Rep. Kenyatta Johnson.

Harris, a Childs alumnus, and Johnson, a Childs and Barratt product, are aiming to retain PAL’s involvement in Point Breeze and have proposed backups if the gymnasium idea fails to win favor.

Peou and Smith revealed Harris and Johnson have suggested the original Childs location and Smith Academics Plus School, 1900 Wharton St., to salvage PAL’s presence. Associate Superintendent for the Elementary Academic Division Emmanuel Caulk confirmed Peou and Smith’s suppositions that the district would need to confer with Licenses and Inspections to determine the feasibility of considering either location.

The Childs officials do not expect a new space to be available immediately, but Smith said talks with Harris have let her know his desire is to have an answer to the dilemma come as soon as possible. Gearing up for Saturday’s fall festival and yard sale, she and Peou hope their celebrations of communal achievement do not become sporadic.

“This is not a witch hunt,” Smith said.

“The toughest decisions were those when we had to put our safety ahead of humanitarianism,” Luko, likely to achieve master sergeant status within the next year, said.

Aware of Americans’ vacillation on the warfare, he said he feels as adamant about upholding freedom as he did in the wake of last decade’s attacks.

Supportive of a cause

A

longtime Gift of Life Donor Program support, James “Buddy” Dougherty supplied his own gift last week.

While driving near Front and Shunk streets Oct. 26, Dougherty, of the 100 block of Durfor Street, passed away from a massive heart attack, Patricia Nelson, an organ donor advocate said. As his family made funeral arrangements, his wife, Mary Anne, requested that son, Buddy Jr., contact the Gift of Life. He soon became a cornea donor.

“The family has been supportive of us since we started,” Nelson, of Second and Greenwich streets, said. “I was just so touched that they thought of us at that time in their grief and their loss.”

Just nine days prior to his death, Dougherty placed second in a golf outing to raise awareness for the same cause. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

A TRUE PENNSPORTER, Luko attended the now-shuttered St. Casimir School, 324 Wharton St., and played football and hockey at the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St. At Neumann, now Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., he intensified his military interest, desiring a spot with the U.S. Marine Corps. Though his service zealotry is commendable, it is not as old as his strutting enchantment.

“I used to ask my parents to take me to the Mummers Parade,” he said, adding that his father, Timothy Luko Sr., inspired his involvement.

At 7, the younger Luko debuted with Froggy Carr Comics, 1429 S. Second St. In 1994, he furthered his Pennsport pride by joining Satin Slipper and premiered with the brigade New Year’s Day ’95.

“I have never missed a parade,” Luko, who served as captain from 2007 to ’10 and used e-mail while away to relay choreography ideas to the strutters, said.

Satin Slipper’s headquarters hosted a Mummers shuffleboard session Sunday, so Luko, following a drill with his troupe, received kudos from members of the Second Street Shooters, 22 E. Wolf St. “It is an incredible honor to know him, as he does so much for the Mummers and is not one bit self-serving,” David Brotnitsky, the Shooters’ captain, said of his friend.

The resident of the 100 block of Durfor Street has enjoyed almost 25 years of friendship with Luko and is eager to see what his buddy will craft for the parade.

“We’re going to do an Oriental theme and be the Terracotta Army,” Luko, whose group seeks its first Fancy Brigade title since 1976, said.

The nearly five-minute routine will surely impress the Pennsport faithful, whom Luko admires for supporting the area’s 30 military personnel. He will enjoy delighting onlookers, especially his sons, parade enthusiasts. Home for nearly two weeks, the employee with the 166th Airlift Wing in New Castle, Del., could receive another deployment. However, he is concentrating on being a civilian again.

“The most difficult task is rediscovering a routine,” he said. “The easiest is being a father and a husband.” SPR

EPTA has ended its six-month Route 47 Bus Pilot Project (“The route of the matter,” April 28), and after reviewing data and feedback, has opted to keep some elements permanent while halting others.

Since travel times improved slightly, the route will continue rear-door boarding for transit pass holders and a far-side stop in Center City. However, as of Sunday, the Route 47 stop consolidation had been abandoned since only a “slim majority” noticed a change with that measure.

“The program represented an unprecedented level of cooperation between the City and SEPTA to work with communities to try new ideas and analyze data,” Deputy Mayor for Transportation and Utilities Rina Cutler said in a statement.

“We learned a lot from the process, including where measures like stop consolidation might work best.”

and infatuation with the Mummers.

“I always had a desire to serve,” Luko said, revealing he wanted to join the military upon graduating from the former St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St. After time at Community College of Philadelphia and Temple University, he graced the Air Force Reserves Command with his nationalism in February 1998.

Exactly four years later, he received his first deployment, parting with Rosemarie and 2-month-old Dylan Rose, for the Arab emirate Qatar. The separation hurt and living conditions proved extreme, but he diligently performed his security duties.

He returned in July 2002 and resumed domestic life, knowing another assignment might again alter his kin’s existence.

“We all make numerous sacrifices,” he said of military clans.

He continued his Air Force involvement until May ’07, the same month the Luko bunch’s move began to improve life for Michael, who battles autism. A period of debate on his service future led Luko to choose the Delaware Air National Guard in March ’09. He and 12 others, comprising the 166th Security Forces Squadron, learned in January of their mission to provide protection in Afghanistan’s Parwan Province, where they became on-site participants in Operation Enduring Freedom, the decade-old endeavor to eliminate the use of Afghanistan as a base for al-Qaida, the Sept. 11 attacks’ architect.

“I had much more serious preparation this time,” he said of training in Washington and Texas.

Luko cited increased fear about venturing into the South Asia republic, as being in a combat zone meant his unit faced active threats constantly. From its April arrival until last month’s departure, it endured indirect fire 40 times. The soldiers became his secondary relatives, with Bagram Airfield’s Wi-Fi allowing Luko to interact with his primary family.

The outfit knew its stay would end sometime in October, and though the members never neglected their defense duties, they grew a tad disheartened when an unforeseen delay kept them away until Oct. 21.

While abroad, Luko strenghtened his already robust altruism.

“I had some knowledge of the area,” he said, “and I saw the Afghans as people needing help.”

An ’08 U.S. State Department estimation gauged the land’s literacy rate at 28 percent, and an ’09 U.N. Children’s Fund report deemed Afghanistan the world’s most dangerous place for a child to be born.

As a father, Luko finds the latter haunting and wishes he could have removed some

erhaps now more than ever, the youth in Philadelphia are begging to be heard. One person who has been listening intently is Jordan A. Harris.

“I advise the mayor and other stakeholders on issues with youth and young adults throughout the Philadelphia area,” Harris, the Philadelphia Youth Commission executive director, said. “The issues change from time to time, some stay the same — youth violence is always an issue and it was heightened this summer with what folks called ‘flash mobs.’”

To combat that growing problem, Harris, who has held the position for more than a year, focused on alternatives rather than enforcement.

“I personally think that, while some will give credit to the enforcement perspective, I think providing young people with positive opportunities will help us curb violence,” Harris, who resides at 31st and Reed streets with his wife, Amber, said. “They are looking for things they can do, how they can get involved.”

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation recently awarded his office a $30,000 planning grant for a youth-engagement challenge in South Philly, in which the youngsters would identify and find solutions to neighborhood problems. The office is awaiting word on a $350,000 grant to implement the project.

“If we don’t provide young people with those opportunities in a positive light, people will provide opportunities, but those opportunities will be negative ones,” the 27-yearold said.

Named as one of The Philadelphia Tribune Magazine’s “10 People Under 40 to Watch in 2011,” Harris supplements his work on the commission with positions as the board president at the Lincoln Day Education Center, 1839-43 Ellsworth St., and co-founder of Youth Action, which advocates for youth and has provided more than $25,000 in scholarships.

“South Philly has invested so much in me from the football program [Nu Sigma Sharks based at Chew Playground, 18th Street and Washington Avenue] I played in when I was a preteen

Lifestyles continued from previous page to the enrichment program [Sigma Beta Club] I took part in high school to the community members that looked out for me to the community church [Grace Tabernacle Outreach Ministries, 1739 S. 17th St.] that sent me to college with towels and paper and pens,” the 17th-and-Dickinsonstreets native said. “I see how folks want that same opportunity.

“I didn’t see myself in education, but what I saw was education was the key to success.

I took it up as a fight, as a struggle, to help the young ones in my community.”

HARRIS ATTENDED G.W. Childs, 1599 Wharton St. — then at 1541 S. 17th St., and Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St.. While he stresses he was afforded opportunities that other neighbors were not, he also makes it clear his story is not unlike the rest of his community.

“I didn’t come from a perfect household.

My mother was a single parent. I know my father, we have a good relationship and I love him dearly, but my father had demons to deal with on his own when I was young and he wasn’t always there, like other South Philadelphians that had those struggles,” he said.

Harris was in situations that many of the

community members that seek his assistance find themselves in today.

“In my preteens, my mother [Karen] lost her job and she was out of a job for a few years. We spent a little time on public assistance,” Harris said. “This is why I came back, as well, since one of the things that got us through was a sanitation worker that lived across the street from me. He took it upon himself to spend time with me. If he went to a baseball game with his son, he’d buy an extra ticket.”

Support like this from his neighborhood meant that after graduating from Southwest’s Motivation High School, Harris went straight to Millersville University.

“Whenever people ask about the education I received, it’s hard to judge because that’s all you have. When you’re in the system you may think, ‘I got an decent education,’ until you go to college and you’re paired up with folks all across the nation,” he said. “I had to go through a summer program to get my skills to a level where I could take college-level courses in the fall.

“I saw people like me in all these different urban school districts … and I realized the education you get in Philadelphia is different than someone in Upper Merion and that shouldn’t be the case.”

Harris still was not sure how he wished to use his learning post-graduation.

“I always knew I wanted to help folks,” Harris, who graduated in 2006 and held a mentorship program at Edwin Vare School, 2400 S. 21st St., upon returning home, said. “The thing that happened was that I was offered a job as a fourth-grade teacher at a Christian school [in Germantown]. I started teaching there and really liked being a teacher. Fourth grade wasn’t the best age group for me and I wound up switching halfway and teaching middle school social studies. “… I enjoyed going into a classroom everyday and teaching a young person something they didn’t know and giving them the tools they needed to learn on their own. Seeing young people on a daily basis whose futures were in my hands [made me realize I wanted to work in education].

Harris remained a teacher while also furthering his own knowledge base by completing a master’s degree in education at Cabrini College before moving to the School District of Philadelphia in 2009, where he worked to ready youths for college as well as combat truancy.

“At one time, there was a statistic that on any given day, 15,000 students could be missing school, be truant. It was a major issue and it’s still a major issue,” he said.

“I coordinated an anti-truancy program called, T.A.C.K.L.E. Truancy. It was about 20 young people from across the district that helped develop what the campaign would look like.”

Harris was sold on teaching, but he also wanted to be able to affect education reform. When the director position opened, he applied and has been overjoyed to be on the commission while also pursuing a doctoral degree in education leadership from Neumann College. Being a part of this reform in his native neighborhood is the most integral piece of the puzzle.

“I think the first thing is that my heart never left [South Philly], I was just in school … I also know this isn’t about me.

My education wasn’t about me, it was about my grandmother [Claudette], a retired schoolteacher for 32 years. To see what I can do so she can walk down the street and not be afraid of gun violence,” Harris said. “... I came back for the 3- and the 4-yearolds that want a quality education because I got mine and I was fortunate. This is why you come back. It’s not just about you, it’s about what can you do for others.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

On whether I am serious

I

Robert (Antonio Banderas). a plastic surgeon, uses Vera (Elena Anaua) as his test subject for his elaborate experiments.

R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

P

edro Almodóvar’s career-long study of sexuality and gender reaches a thrilling, cockamamie apex with “The Skin I Live In,” a florid horror story about the mutilation and manipulation of bodies that serves as a perfect, arty antidote to “The Human Centipede 2.”

The movie is Almodóvar’s 18th, and it marks his first collaboration with Antonio Banderas since 1988. Here, Banderas plays Robert, an urbane mad surgeon whose elaborate epidermal experiment is filling a void left by his late wife and daughter, both of whom committed suicide. It’s also blurring the lines of sexual identity to a point that’s as shocking as the film’s color scheme is lush.

Only the strongest emotions will do for Almodóvar, and so “The Skin I Live In” is yet another broiling melodrama, its characters dutifully averse to passivity and its twists too wild to elicit anything but gasps or laughs. There’s Vera (Elena Anaya), the gorgeous subject of Robert’s work who at one point slits her own throat; Marilia (Marisa Paredes), Robert’s maid who, unbeknownst to him, is also his mother; Vincente (Jan Cornet), a handsome 20-something who may or may not have raped Robert’s daughter; and Zeca Roberto Álamo), Robert’s estranged brother whose lust is practically carnivorous.

All of this amounts to an experience of perverse joy, a relishing of Almodóvar’s insistence on thinking miles outside the box with his soapy storytelling (the key reveal is an exquisite blind-sider). It’s bolstered by characteristically piquant visuals, whose costumes and operating-room compositions are themselves worth the trek to the theater.

The movie’s many gifts make it easier to forgive the fact that it’s nevertheless only partially realized, as Almodóvar, for all his bold ambitions, stops short of exploring all that the film implies. This is especially true in regards to Robert’s psychological and sexual motivations, whose development would prove rich enough to warrant lengthening the 117-minute running time.

As it stands, it’s a tossed-away tease, and it supports the odd, discomforting notion that the latest from one of our great painters of the screen was better in its conceptual stages.

Recommended Rental Life in a Day PG-13 Available Tuesday Directed by Kevin Macdonald and produced by Ridley Scott, “Life in a Day” is a collaborative documentary culled from more than 80,000 user-generated YouTube videos, whose makers all filmed their experiences on July 24, 2010. The featurelength result is an eye-opening snapshot of all manner of people sharing the same hours across the globe. It is both a time capsule and an experimental leap forward in the world of new media. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

‘Skin’ of the story

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I November 3, 2011

t has come to my attention some of my readers don’t know when to take my column seriously. Don’t worry about it.

If you laugh at a column that is intended to be serious, at least you have enjoyed the healthful effects of a good chuckle, and if you are wrong, you can always read Kevin Ferris in The Inquirer if you feel the need to get serious. My Uncle Nunzio claims being misunderstood is the price I pay for omitting him from any of my columns.

To prove I am a serious person, I am considering authoring a guide to know when I am being serious or not. For example, never take me seriously when I write about the Republican Party, especially in Philadelphia.

You can always get a cheap laugh when discussing local politics, if your anecdote ends with the word “Republicans.”

What about when my subject is the national Republican Party? I personally find any political party that believes you can shrink the federal budget deficit by cutting taxes has a wonderful sense of irony. But that’s just me. However, the chance any of the current Republican candidates could become president should be treated very seriously — like a drone missile aimed at your house.

Anytime I discuss the “n-word,” I realize I should be deadly serious. No one ever dares utter the word even when reporting the news. In fact, other than on rap songs and the HBO series “The Wire,” it is always referred to as the “n-word.” Uncle Nunzi has never listened to rap music nor does he have HBO, so he is not certain of the identity of the “n-word.” He has made several guesses — “Neapolitan,” “ness” (as in Nessun Dorma), “neat” (he has heard Sarah Palin use that word a lot), and “nasty” (he uses that word a lot when describing my columns).

If I ever write a column about Lindsay Lohan posing “tastefully” for Playboy, don’t take me seriously. Lohan and “tasteful” should never be used in the same sentence without a sense of humor.

I am not sure how I would treat Prince Harry shopping at a Walmart. On one hand, there is a touch of the absurd in a member of the royal family shopping at Walmart.

On the other hand, if a prince can spend the night with a cocktail waitress, why shouldn’t he visit a Walmart?

Any column I ever write about birth con-

trol should not be taken seriously. No one does except elected officials, even Catholics whose birth-control rate in the U.S. mirrors that of other religions. Yet as some states try to place more restrictions on abortion, the definition has become so broad that legal scholars are afraid birth control might fall under the ban. Wonder how states would enforce a ban on birth control? Supply your own punch line here.

Take the phrase “serious as a heart attack.”

While I take the possibility of a heart attack very seriously (I take an extra cholesterol pill whenever I pass KFC), I don’t take the banality of the phrase very seriously. There are all kinds of stupid things people take as “serious as a heart attack,” none of them as serious as a heart attack.

It’s like comparing various public figures to Hitler. Historians will not be able to figure out the identity of the real Hitler 100 years from now. Webster’s Dictionary of the future will define “Hitler” as anyone unpopular with any particular segment of the American public. Books will be written on whether it is possible that America elected two presidents named “Bush” and “Obama” who were really Hitler. I take that possible development extremely serious.

I take Andy Reid seriously, especially when he tries to be funny. Maybe it is the way he punctuates his attempts at levity by clearing his throat. This is not to say Reid can’t be funny. For instance, when he named Juan Castillo as his defensive coordinator, that was positively hilarious.

Mayor Michael Nutter is a serious man with a funny last name. I mean no disrespect to the mayor, but I find his surname reminiscent of something marketed under the Skippy label. Incidentally, I can’t take anyone with the nickname “Skippy” serious either.

It has disturbed some of my liberal friends that I don’t take Occupy Wall Street very seriously. Maybe it is because anyone that punctuates their protest with bongo drums is difficult to take seriously. The last time I heard bongos, Maynard Krebs was popular. I do take the increasing gap between rich and poor in this country very seriously, but I am not sure how squatting in Dilworth Plaza helps very much.

Better yet was the splinter protest at Eighth and Race streets against police brutality in other cities? That’s what I call a second-hand protest. And I can’t figure out what the protest in Oakland is all about anyway since Wall Street isn’t there, Al Davis is gone and the Raiders aren’t in last place, at least not yet.

I hope this little primer on the seriousness or lack thereof of my columns has been helpful. To summarize, a good rule of thumb on when to take me serious? Never.

My family and friends don’t, why should you? SPR

Listening to a healthy beat Two local organizations are co-hosting an event geared toward helping seniors achieve wellness.

H

ow are you feeling today?

As people reach the seniorcitizen years, what used to be a two-to-three-word response may sound more like a short story. Attacking the issues head-on is often the simple solution to adding joy and comfort to life.

The South Philly Review and Mercy LIFE — Living Independently For Elders — are joining forces to help local seniors and their caregivers get the answers they seek at the free Health and Wellness Senior Expo. This theme of this debut gathering is a take on fictional character Rocky Balboa: Be Your Own Health and Wellness Champion.

The event, which runs 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Nov. 12 at 1930 S. Broad St. (the former St. Agnes Continuing Care Center) will include free hearing, mole and blood pressure screenings; fit testing; health education information and more. Call it one-stop shopping for a healthier life.

“Mercy LIFE is honored to partner with the South Philly Review to host the 2011

Health and Wellness Senior Expo. As an organization that is deeply rooted in the South Philadelphia community, we are committed to being a resource for healthcare information for seniors and their families,” Carol Quinn, Mercy LIFE CEO, said. “We want seniors to take the firststep in being their own health and wellness champion by joining us for this entertaining and educational event.”

Mercy Health System’s Mercy LIFE program, a nationally recognized Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, has been considered a best kept secret known for improving the health of the elderly and allowing them to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. The organization, which has three centers in Philadelphia, offers some of the most high-risk and underserved individuals an opportunity for a better quality of life. It includes a variety of medical and social services that participants can attend Mondays through Fridays, as well as at home. Mercy LIFE encourages health and

wellness by providing 24/7 accessibility to clinicians, the ability to monitor the health of individuals and proactively address health concerns. This ultimately decreases emergency room visits, unnecessary hospital stays and nursing home institutionalizations.

The gathering will offer attendees a chance to gain more knowledge about the Mercy LIFE program, as well as from a number of other organizations. Confirmed participants include: Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, SERVE Philadelphia, Social Security, NewCourland, UPenn LIFE, Sound Investment Hearing Service and Mercy Health System. DJ Ed Tully is

providing the music while Pizzeria Pesto, 1925 S. Broad St., and Philly Pretzel Factory, 1410 McKean St., are donating food.

A parking garage, which connects to the building, is located on McKean Street.

With free health services and food, how can you say no to joining us? SPR —By Bill Gelman Vendors interested in having a table at Health and Wellness Senior Expo should call 215-336-2500 ext. 121 or e-mail bgelman@ southphillyreview.com. Visit southphillyreview.com/events.

The resident of the 2200 block of South Front Street’s recipe is ideal for a dinner party. Since most of the items may already be in the pantry, it also can be a perfect dinner for two. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.

Ocean Harbor

By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

O

ne of the most difficult challenges for the cheftestants on Bravo’s “Top Chef All-Stars” was to prepare dim sum in a large restaurant in New York’s Chinatown. The group failed miserably. Cooking constantly to keep the carts filled with a myriad of dishes is no easy feat.

My sister Sandy loved this episode. She had never eaten dim sum.

I have been craving dim sum for weeks, so I e-mailed a colleague and asked which Chinatown restaurant has the finest.

Ocean Harbor, which offers it daily, was the reply.

You don’t go for dim sum for a quiet meal a deux. You go for the clamorous experience and the fun pointing to food on stainless steel carts expertly pushed around the dining room by a bevy of women.

We decided to dish on dim sum on a blustery Sunday afternoon. Edward parked while Sandy and I were met at the door by lines of people waiting to get in.

It was a madhouse, indeed.

Since Ocean Harbor was a first for us, I asked about a table for three. A kindly gentleman told me to expect a 25-minute wait and gave me a number.

“I will call you when your table is ready,” he said as staff bustled around the restaurant, changing table linen and setting up for service.

Within 20 minutes, we sat down, a woman brought us a stainless steel pot of hot fragrant jasmine tea and placed a Coffee/Café/Sweets

card on the table. Then the fun began. The dim sum carts came rolling toward us at a measured pace.

Here’s how it works: You ask questions if a specific dish looks unusual. There was a language barrier from time to time — and we had wished cousin Henry, who speaks fluent Mandarin had joined us — but for the most part the descriptions were fine.

We began lunch with spring rolls, saltcrusted shrimp, rice balls and Chinese broccoli in a light soy sauce. Whoever serves you places a “0” on your card. Soy sauce, hot sauce and vinegar are the only condiments on the table to spiff up a bland dish. The spring rolls were run-of-the-mill and lacked flavor.

Edward and I dove into the prawns and were delighted to see their heads intact.

Staring at a prawn’s eyes did not disturb me, but I immediately knew to remove the head before offering Sandy one. They were uncommonly good, nice and hot with just the right amount of salt to keep us happy. We asked for another order.

The rice balls were tasty — a little lukewarm, but we enjoyed them just the same.

We liked the creaminess inside while the bits of shrimp retained a bit of bite. Chinese broccoli is akin to broccoli rabe but lacks its bitter flavor. It was difficult to eat with chopsticks so I just picked a piece up with my hand and enjoyed.

There was an unusual dim sum called a shrimp roll that I had never eaten. It was

shaped like a fat log with crumbs on the outside, a creamy almost cheese-like filling inside studded with bits of shrimp. Its savory flavor appealed to us.

Although the shrimp dumplings were freshly prepared, they were bland. I poured some vinegar and hot sauce onto my plate, which pepped the dish up a bit.

The steamed barbecued pork buns were heavenly. Edward and I detected a hint of cinnamon. Whoever prepared the pork did one fine job. Another first was a savory confection made with seasoned pork wrapped in a pastry-like wrapper and topped with sesame seeds, sort of a Chinese version of the classic Cornish pasty.

We hunger for knowledge, compassion, love, understanding, sustenance and many other things. “Don’t take yourself too seriously” are words I’ve lived by. Although I do not suffer fools lightly, sometimes it is good to roar with laughter and just be downright silly.

I recently enjoyed a good laugh as soon as I began to read “The Dead Celebrity Cookbook: A Resurrection of Recipes from More Than 145 Stars of Stage and Screen” by Frank DeCaro, a former writer and film critic on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” He collected recipes from stars who have gone to that great stage, TV studio and movie house in the sky.

Since Tuesday was All Saints’ Day followed by the Day of the Dead, a religious rite held in Mexico, Brazil, Spain and other mostly Latin-American countries, I thought it would be a hoot to toss a dead celebrity party using recipes from Latino stars.

The book contains 25 chapters and is organized in a humorous way. “Thank You For Feeding a Friend” is a tribute to “The

Golden Girls.”

“Watching the Detectives Cook” salutes everyone from Raymond Burr to Peter Falk. Hollywood hoofers are saluted in “Dance This Mess Around” while the great Lucille Ball has her own chapter “I Lunch Lucy.” Dead sitcom moms features seven recipes including Harriet Nelson’s favorite chicken, Isabel Sanford’s Boston chicken and Donna Reed’s bisque tortoni. Talk show hosts, a gay bash, which includes Truman Capote’s fettuccine, Peter Allen’s baked snapper and Andy Warhol’s stuffed cabbage, considers international fare.

Here are recipes from “A South-of-the Border Buffet.”

“Hispanic stars of early Hollywood were pioneers who opened the doors for generations of Latino actors to follow,” DeCaro wrote. “Yes, some of the roles they played, the ruthless bandito, the fiery sex bomb, were stereotypical. But these trailblazers were as essential to the motion-picture industry of the silent era as their modern day counterparts are to the Hollywood of today’s blockbuster era.”

■ Dolores del Rio’s Enchiladas ■ Ingredients:

1 pound of fresh tomatoes, blanched, peeled and chopped 1 onion, finely chopped 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil or lard

2 small cans of green chilies, finely chopped Salt, to taste 2 pounds of Queso Oaxaca, shredded 12 tortillas 1 pint of sour cream

Directions: In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, cook the onions in the oil or lard until they are translucent, for about five minutes. Add the tomatoes and chilies and heat through.

Season with the salt and add the cheese, cooking until it begins to melt.

In a separate, lightly greased pan over medium heat, warm the tortillas one-byone, until soft.

Remove the tortillas from the pan. Put some of the mixture in the middle of each tortilla and roll. Spoon on some sour cream and serve.

Serves six.

Note from Phyllis: I do not know which size can DeCaro is referring to when he says “small” can of chilies. I assume they contain 3 to 4 ounces of chilies. I would use corn tortillas in the enchiladas.

Mexican-born actress Dolores del Rio (1904-1983) was a cousin of Ramon Navarro. She appeared in “Flying Down to Rio” with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and worked with Elvis Presley, director John Ford and Richard Widmark.

■ Ramon Novarro’s ■ Guacamole Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed 1/2 can of green chilies, drained and mashed Salt, to taste Olive oil, to taste Vinegar, to taste Pomegranate seeds, in the amount you favor, washed Directions: Combine the avocados and chilies. Season with the salt, vinegar and oil. Blend well.

Add the pomegranate seeds to the avocado mixture. Serve with tortilla chips.

Serves four.

Note from Phyllis: I would use about 2 ounces of green chilies in this dish. I never heard of mixing pomegranate seeds in guacamole but they are in season now so give it a try.

Novarro (1899-1968), was a star of silent movies. Hollywood moguls thought he might be the next Valentino. He appeared in “Mata Hari” with Greta Garbo, which debuted in 1931. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I NOVEMBER 3, 2011

Mr. Spina worked for the City of Philadelphia for 40 years and was admired for his career at the Department of Revenue, ultimately serving as Deputy Commissioner. He also had a CPA practice at 8th and Moore since 1961. He is survived by Carmela, his wife of 62 years.

He was a lifelong member of St. Nicholas of Tolentine Parish.

Joe graduated from Southeast Catholic H.S. (1943) and received a B.A. in Economics from LaSalle College (1946). He was keenly interested in politics and joined the Democratic reform movement in 1950, helping to permanently alter Philadelphia government.

He often contributed political editorials to the Inquirer and South Philadelphia Review.

His parents were born in Italy, but his grandfather admired Athenian culture and gave his children Greek names. The elder Temistocle was nicknamed “Giuseppe”, so both father and son came to be known here as “Joe”. In 1986, Mr. Spina traveled to his parents’ hometown after having no contact for 55 years and discovered many previously unknown relatives.

Joe generously served his community, using his ability to speak Italian and his knowledge of government to counsel those in need.

Above all, he relished spending time with his family and friends. Joe and Carmela organized gatherings at their homes in South Philly and Sea Isle City for decades.

Bok to the future

An East Passyunk Crossing football team gave its new coach a playoff shutout.

By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

T

he first-half defensive and offensive units for Edward Bok High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., offered a figuratively cold complement to Friday afternoon’s frigid temperatures. Overcoming an unusual three-week break and early resistance from Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., the Wildcats regrouped to pulverize the Huskies in the second half to score a 32-0 victory. The Public League AA semifinal triumph at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets, also secured the first postseason success for Frank “Roscoe” Natale as Bok’s coach.

His team will look to make it two in a row 3:30 p.m. Saturday when it hosts 7-2 Imhotep Charter — a 21-6 winner over Southwest Philadelphia’s Communications Tech — for the league’s Class AA crown.

Playing on back-to-back weeks is a nice change of pace for the local squad, which recently dealt with scheduling conflicts and a forfeit. The Bok athletes yearned to make misery for West Passyunk’s Huskies. Natale’s charges entered with a 7-0 record, with 236 points for and a measly 27 against and immediately had their defensive resolve tested. A 4-4 team, Prep Charter scored 15 of those points in a 4215 setback Sept. 8 and chewed up seven minutes on its opening drive.

“Let’s go D!” the Bok sideline cried as the Huskies reached the red zone.

A stop on fourth down at the 14-yard line inspired the offense and its leader, running back Shaquil Sammons, to reward the defenders’ duties. After a one-yard gain, the senior and 2010 All-Public pick galloped for an 85-yard touchdown. The point-after attempt failed but the Southwest Philadelphia resident, who ran for 116 yards in the teams’ first tilt, and his mates seemed settled.

Their defensive partners, however, continued to have difficulties stopping Prep Charter’s ground game. Another fourth down stand proved their prowess, and the squads traded punts in the second quarter, with a timely sack by defensive end Jihad Ward, another ’10 All-Public honoree, giving the offense a final chance to flourish before halftime. Though Sammons

Senior Shaquil Sammons picked up 208 yards on only 16 carries. The elusive back will look to prove as troublesome in Saturday’s championship clash, when his Wildcats face a familiar foe.

S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

notched 20 yards on two carries to put the Wildcats in the red zone, no points materialized and they escaped the late October chill to reflect on their stymied schemes.

“Did you think they weren’t going to show up?” Natale, of the 1600 block of South Juniper Street, said to his frustrated players.

The school’s athletic director, he succeeded popular coach Tom DeFelice, who retired in June after 18 seasons as the varsity leader, and has desired to sustain Bok’s reputation as a regional power.

Under DeFelice, the Wildcats won 129 games and 13 division titles. The past met the present, as DeFelice attended the game and encouraged the seniors.

“Don’t make any excuses,” the former Bella Vista inhabitant, who last year guided Bok to the District 12 Class AA state subregional final, said to the elders. “It could all be over for you in an hour.”

His successor voiced similar warnings.

“Play your position,” Natale said. “This is not hard. It’s football. It’s not physics.”

THE WILDCATS DISPLAYED scientific acumen, though, in the third quarter, as their chem-

istry befuddled the opposition. Sammons, who eclipsed 1,000 yards for the season in the frame, scampered for 35 on the first play from scrimmage. A nine-yard jaunt and a two-point conversion from the runner increased the lead to 14-0, with the rest of the period revealing how receptive the defenders were to the halftime instruction. They forced two fumbles, including one by Ward, and stopped another red-zone march.

Their gusto intensified in the fourth, as Olney resident and senior ironman Omar Bashir intercepted a pass to start the final 12-minute session. Also a running back, the factotum, nicknamed “O,” had shown his offensive talents in the third with a 22yard dash and rejoiced with both sides of the ball when senior quarterback Marquise Brown pushed the edge to 20-0 with a 28yard trip to the end zone.

Prep Charter, lauded by Natale for its talent, began to seem resigned to becoming his initial postseason victim. Its offense appeared stunned, as the Wildcats vowed to register its fourth shutout and spoil plans for an upset. When sophomore defensive tackle Mark Webb returned an interception 15 yards for a score, the Hus-

kies’ gumption waned. Another pick added extra frustration.

Natale called on Sammons to punctuate the effort, and the 5-foot-9 figure obliged. A great run following the third swipe put him within two yards of hitting the 200-yard mark for the second time this year. Brown went to Sammons from the Huskies’ 10yard line, and the fan of Eagles running back LeSean McCoy gave Bok its sixth game with at least 30 points. Another stalled Prep Charter drive removed any remaining suspense, and the Wildcats roared once the final whistle signaled their supremacy.

“Ninety-nine percent of the game is up here,” Natale said to the ballers as he pointed to his head.

The coach is now focused on preparing his gang for this year’s second meeting against the West Oak Lane-based Imhotep Panthers. The Wildcats scored a 24-6 victory in the mid-September clash and will look to duplicate their performance, especially Sammons, who shredded defenders for 196 yards.

“We had a little frustration in the first half,” Sammons said of Friday’s six-point output. “We had a spark in the second half, and my line members picked their heads up. From then, it was on me.”

He noted the switch from DeFelice to Natale presented no challenges, as no matter who coaches, that person earns the Wildcats’ trust.

“We’re a big family,” he said. “It’s all about trust.”

An ironman for two years, Bashir likes to shine on defense like his role model, Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. At halftime, he rallied his mates.

“I just said we had to keep our heads in the game,” he said.

Natale noted the layoff “put a snag in everything” but seemed pleased.

“The rhythm of the game returned in the second half,” he said. “However, I still feel we have not played to our potential yet.”

Perhaps Saturday will be the Wildcats full unveiling.

“We’re here to win,” Bashir said. SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
