eople with visual deficiencies are often neglected,” owner Carmen D’Aquilante said Tuesday afternoon at The Waterfall Room, 2015 S. Water St. “However, they’re as worthy of love and respect as everyone else.”

The proprietor welcomed nearly 100 blind and visually impaired individuals to his Pennsport establishment for a Christmas party, furthering his 20-year involvement with the South Philadelphia Lions Club. He and his peers honored their guests with gifts, a luncheon and seasonal songs to celebrate their successes and encourage their aspirations.

The Lions Club has made such occasions mainstays of its 77-year history, gladly aiding Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service club organization with more than 1.3 million members in 200 countries. Its 70 representatives adopt “We Serve” as their motto and lived up to that precept See LIONS CLUB page 11

passing touchdowns and passer ratings according to Yahoo Sports. By no means am I leading the cheers to bring back Donovan in an Eagles uniform. But when he was in his prime as our franchise quarterback, in hindsight, did we give him the proper level of respect and admiration considering statistically, he was the greatest quarterback in Eagles history? Donovan's 2,801 completions, 32,873 passing yards and 216 touchdown passes are all Eagle franchise records. I am not trying to sugarcoat his tenure here. As fans, it was frustrating to say the least to constantly witness the often inadvertent throws into the dirt even though the receiver was wide open. And who cannot forget his confusion on just how overtime works in the NFL. But, Donovan also had thrown a ton of bombs down the field with his rocket-of-an-arm that often made the highlight reel on ESPN. Sometimes, you don't fully appreciate what you have until it's gone.

To the Editor: Will someone please tell me just what kind of preparations one can make for the so-called end of days or apocalypse? The next one is supposed to happen Dec. 21. It’s one of many that has been predicted throughout millenniums, and yet, here we are remaining practically unscathed except for the wicked deeds inflicted by mankind or the earth that will go unchanged until one day someone pushes the wrong button. That my friends, is a very real possibility. There aren’t any preparations we can make for an apocalypse except for hiding deep underground or in some cave until we run out of food or drinking water. To think otherwise is pure folly and wishful thinking. I’d rather be dead. The only possible solution is one we are not quite ready for, but will happen in time when we are capable of exploring deep space to find planets orbiting another star of which I am certain are out there waiting for us to discover. I am certain one day we will. In the meantime, why not stop scaring and frightening all of us with the useless publicity and over the airwaves and in print? But, just by the longest stretch of the imagination, what if I am wrong and the world is destroyed? We sure did not look out for or take care of further evolvement of our oceans, land and sky. All we have managed is pollution, destruction and spoilage. The ongoing and unending wars are nothing more than wholesale murder and slaughter caused by the rich and power hungry who don’t care about the people or the world. They only care about their own self gratification and acquirements. They would be the first to leave the earth if it were the time to do so. Care about us? Oh, sure.

Police Report

Bullets delay departure A father and son were wounded inside a vehicle in Grays Ferry Monday night. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

ullet holes covered an auto where a toddler and his dad were wounded while two other occupants escaped the gunfire. A 30-year-old man was in the driver’s seat of his 1996 turquoise Chevrolet Lumina with his 4-year-old son, 29-year-old girlfriend and her 8-year-old daughter when bullets started to fly on the 2700 block of Daly Terrace at 7:21 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man ordered his loved ones to duck, and once the gunfire stopped, they headed back inside the home of a relative whom they were visiting prior to the commotion. The man suffered a gunshot wound to his head, arm and back while his son received a single shot to his abdomen, Tolliver said. Police transported them in stable condition to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, respectively. The motive was unknown at press time, but police recovered ballistics evidence and the auto riddled with bullets at the scene, Tolliver said. The shooter was described as black, age 21 to 24, 5-foot-10 and wearing a black hoodie.

A Whitman teen was found dead in the middle of a West Passyunk street Saturday night. Police responded to reports of a person with a gun at 10:48 p.m. on the 2000 block of South Croskey Street, which was where officers spotted Daquan Parker, 17, of the 2500 block of South Sixth Street, with a gunshot wound to the head, Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. Medics pronounced Parker dead at the scene 16 minutes later. Police deemed the motive as an argument, but did not have any suspects at press time, O’Brien said.

Two in custody, one to be found Two of the alleged attackers in a vicious

Queen Village corner store robbery have been apprehended, but police continue to seek the remaining offender. Surveillance video allowed authorities to identify Antoine “Twan” Vance, 18, of the 400 block of Christian Street, as the man who allegedly beat an employee at Queen Village Mini Market, 246 Christian St. during a robbery at 9:30 p.m. Nov. 27, according to police. Vance and two others allegedly entered the store and demanded cash from the worker, so he willingly handed over some money and allowed the thieves to freely take more from the register. However, Vance, armed with a shotgun and a Taser, went behind the counter where he used the latter and punched the man in the head multiple times while one accomplice gathered the money and another guarded the front door of the business, according to police. The trio fled south on Third Street with $3,000. Vance was arrested Nov. 29 and charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy of aggravated assault, robbery, terrorist threats and related offenses. His bail was set at $350,000 Friday, but has not been posted as of press time. Police also apprehended Dawud Taylor, who turned 18 the day before the incident, Monday, according to court records. He was charged with the same offenses and had not posted his $250,000 bail by press time. It was not clear which accomplice he was, and police would not release further information at press time.

Road rage An unknown man rear-ended a cab before punching and robbing its driver in Bella Vista early Sunday. A 50-year-old cab driver from All City Taxi, 2024 S. 12th St., was stopped at a red light at Eighth Street and Passyunk Avenue at 3:25 a.m. when the driver of a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck with a Pennsylvania license plate struck the taxi’s rear bumper, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While the minor collision did not cause any damage, the truck’s driver immediately drove around the cab and headed eastbound on Washington Avenue. The taxi followed the vehicle to Sixth and Wharton streets where the driver exited his car, punched the taxi driver in the

Police Report left eye and snatched $200 from his front pocket before he returned to his auto and headed east on Wharton, Tolliver said. The cabbie continued to pursue the man, but upon reaching the 100 block of Wharton the truck’s driver exited and fled on foot toward Reed Street. The registered owner of the car, which is now in police custody, told authorities a friend was repairing her auto, Tolliver said. None of the acquaintances were identified as the offender, who was described as white, age 30 to 35, 6 foot, 180 pounds and wearing a dark-colored cap.

Two unknown visitors claimed to be City workers until the 91-year-old Passyunk Square resident informed them her son was coming over. An unknown man knocked on the door of the woman’s home on the 1300 block of Titan Street at 2:46 p.m. Saturday and told its resident that he was with PECO and needed to check her electric, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He and an unknown woman came inside. While he walked down to the basement, the woman kept the 91-year-old company in the kitchen. Once she informed the woman her son would be over soon, the pair left. She doesn’t believe anything was taken, Tolliver said. The male was described as white, age 35, 5-foot-8, stocky and having brown hair while the female was described as white, age 25, 5-foot-6, heavy and wearing a baseball cap.

Two robbers mugged a pair of women at gunpoint and beat the lady who did not give up her purse fast enough Friday afternoon. Two 42-year-old women were entering a residence on the 1600 block of South Iseminger Street at 2:35 p.m. Nov. 30 when one of the offenders yelled, “We want your stuff. Give me your handbag,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The women turned to see two men, one of whom was armed. After successfully swiping one of the handbags, the pair had trouble stealing the other when the woman didn’t let go, Tolliver said. The armed man pulled the unwilling victim to the street and smacked her in the head with his firearm as her friend screamed for help. A 47-year-old male passer-by spotted the disturbance and chased the men, who were able to flee with both purses, to 12th and Morris streets where they hopped into a blue Cheverolet sedan without a license plate that an unknown female was operating. The auto headed South on 12th. The hurt victim was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for head and facial injures, Tolliver said. The offenders were described as black, age 15 to 20, 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6, 130 pounds and wearing a black hoodie, black sweatpants and Timberland boots. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

W. Oregon Ave., pointed a black BB gun at the 21-year-old cashier and demanded cash and Newport cigarettes at 12:55 a.m. Friday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Prang is believed to have fled north on Front Street. A few minutes later, he tried to hold up a 39-year-old woman as she was entering a residence on the 100 block of Roseberry Street, but she escaped into the home unscathed, Tolliver said. Officers in plain clothes spotted Prang, who police said matched the description of the offender from the gas station robbery, on the 2400 block of South Second Street and pursued him, Tolliver said. Just prior to apprehending him on the 300 block of Daly Street, officers saw him allegedly discard a Newport pack and a firearm’s magazine. After officers arrested him, they also found more cigarette packs, a BB gun and $100 on him. Prang was charged with two counts of robbery and possession of an instrument of crime; a count of theft and attempted theft and related charges, according to court records. He had not posted his $100,000 bail as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Strutting behind the scenes

While New Year’s Day parade may be the highlight for a Mummer, members share a unique lifestyle with family and friends year-round as well. By Mark Moss Special Contributor

n relation to the entire world, the United States is essentially an infant. Being more than 200 years old, it’s seen its share of war, financial crisis and turmoil, as well as glorious feats of human endeavor. In that course of events, one thing stands true and keeps us grounded: Family and friends. The Mummers have been around for almost as long as America has been an established country. According to the Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., George Washington marched as a Mummer as did John Adams. Legend has it, Thomas Jefferson was also a Mummer prior to becoming president. Some Mummer clubs, like in the Fancy Brigade division are the moral center of their respective communities. As each year comes to an end, another begins, and with it, comes the preparation for the next year’s parade. Each Fancy Brigade club has a business committee to handle the organization while the club captain manages the details for the upcoming parade. There also are smaller committees that deal with themes, floats and costumes. Most children wake up on Sunday morning, eat a hearty breakfast and prepare for a day full of football and Sunday dinners with the grandparents. The child of a Mummers has been raised slightly differently. Sundays were the most important drill day of the week and parents made sure you were ready and dressed appropriately for the outdoor practice. Your grandfather would get in the car, and you would immediately jump on his lap. While our parents taught us important life lessons and how to make it in life, our grandfather always taught you the importance of being a Mummer — the rules, so to speak. In order to keep a straight line, address to the front and to the right. If the person in front of you is wrong, they are still right. If you drop something, don’t pick it up. If you lose your place, improvise and if all else fails, keep just going. These are things that only make sense to a Mummer. We soon realize that we are surrounded by family and friends and join specific committees with the same people we’ve come to know and ones that address our strengths. We get involved in community

work outside of the club by attending fundraisers for families of veterans and the needy; volunteering at phone banks at the local PBS station and shoe drives; and gathering coats for the poor. Being a Mummer is so much more than Golden Slippers and umbrellas. As drills wrap on Sunday mornings, everyone heads back to their clubhouses and garages to continue working on costumes, floats and everything else parade related. Grandmothers, mothers and even fathers make sumptuous meals for us as we work diligently on our respective projects. Every one has an important part in building a great Mummers club. CHILDREN LOOK FORWARD to running and playing with our friends’ children. In between, we look on proudly as the kids settle down just enough to learn the meticulous art of Mummery. It’s a bonding session, a gathering of family and friends, that most other communities would die to be a part. As parents around the country pay good money for their children to learn a craft, we are taught it, instinctively as Mummers, everyday of the year. Our parents and grandparents have taught

us to cherish the friends we make. It’s heartwarming to know that the friends we made as young children have evolved into lifelong friendships. Our grade school pals are still our good friends. We work together, enjoy dinner together, are in each others ‘weddings and christen each others’ children. We even help each other move to a new house and build additions to old ones. Just as important as our friends, we also are surrounded by family. Entire Mummer organizations were built from the structured blocks of family, from the legacy of Captain Bill Isaacs who built the Downtowners to Billy Dicks of the original Vikings. The long, prestigious lineage started by Bill McIntyre continues today in Bill McIntyre’s Shooting Stars, along with the more than 20 sets of father, sons and brothers who make up the Jokers NYA to the Clevemore Fancy Brigade that Ralph Tursi founded and to the close-knit fathers, sons, sisters, brothers and friends of the D’Amatos and Passios that founded the South Philly Vikings. These clubs, as well as all the others that make up the Fancy Brigade Division, may differ in make up and structure, but all can claim one thing in common: Family.

As we sit down next to our children, in our cherished clubhouses, having taught them the art of correctly applying hot glue to a sequin, you look down as they, with their tiny fingers, ever so gently, grasp a glue gun. You remember that first time, when your father taught you to do the same. The time he taught you to seek out the perfect mirror to put the sequin in the perfect place on what you believed to be the most perfect costumes is when, you come to see, that what had become a precious tradition for you is now a cherished way of life for your children. While each club tosses playful jibes at each other and has differing opinions about a favorite sports team or political candidate may cause ongoing and conflicted family discussions, the art of Mummery always will keep us grounded in the realization that no matter what, when in need, we can always rely on each other. We are so much more than Mummers. SPR Mark Moss is a member of the South Philly Vikings NYB. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

VICTIMS SERVICE continued from page 1 she, husband Yancy Harrell and 200 other guests attended the Service of Light + Hope, an interfaith gathering for grieving co-victims of homicide. “It’s been a long road,” Johnson-Harrell said within the Newbold worship site of maintaining her resolve minus Charles Johnson. “I’ve had to struggle to know how to go on, but because of my relationship with God, I knew something great would come out of the tragedy.” The devout Muslim joined equally reverent Christians and Jews for the ceremony, whose organizers aimed for participants to use their belief systems as aids in understanding sorrowful circumstances. For Johnson-Harrell, who learned of the day through a co-victims’ listserv, the onehour affair furthered a fight to balance disappointment and action. She relayed that Sean Jones, then 23, and Troy Thornton, then 24, allegedly shot her son in a case of mistaken identity on Jan. 12, 2011 in East Mount Airy. The 18-year-old, who died the next morning, had planned to explore a career in carpentry and left behind a pregnant fiancée along with his parents and three siblings. “I had no healing until authorities could give us good news,” Johnson-Harrell said of Jones’ March 12, ’11 surrender and Thornton’s June 29, ’11 arrest in Southwest Philly. “Then I felt I could begin to recover.” Jones and Thornton will return to court Feb. 4 for their seven-day jury trial, according to court records, with Johnson-Harrell hopeful for their conviction. She is looking to keep youths from courting violence through her nonprofit The Charles Foundation, which stands for “Creating Healthy Alternatives Results in Less Emotional Suffering.” “It’s amazing how God will give you what you need to get through,” she said. “I’ve been so angry with God, but he still loves me and cares for me, so I am grateful.” Rev. Joseph Genito adopted the same indebted gratitude in welcoming the attendees. The Augustinian, who serves as the pastor and shrine director for the 105-year-old church, lauded its patron, a 15th-century nun who prior to taking her sacred vows wed a violent man who would perish through a feud between his family and a neighboring clan, as a model for tolerating loss. He also noted although people suffer individually, they can call on one another for comfort. “That ability to rely on fellow bearers of pain partially motivated the creation of this event,” Rev. Jim Paradis, director of ministries for the soon-to-be finalized adjacent Cascia Center, which will focus on

Representatives from the faith traditions lifted a bowl that included the names of nearly 100 victims of violence. S ta f f P h o t o b y J o s e p h M y e r s

forgiveness, peacemaking and reconciliation, said. He started considering a therapeutic day this spring after reading of New York nuns who had organized an interfaith convocation. “I’d not known if this city had done anything similar, but I wanted to replicate the call, as we’re trying to link St. Rita’s message of nonviolence with the entire community, regardless of one’s religion,” Paradis said. PHILADELPHIA AVERAGED 316 homicides between ’08 and ’11 and had suffered 311 cases this year as of press time, so he knew he needed to act fast, contacting organizations, including Fairmount’s AntiViolence Partnership of Philadelphia, to form a committee and make outreach to co-victims. “We reacted right away,” Myra J. Maxwell, the partnership’s director of victim services and the pastor at St. Luke’s Restoration Worship Center United Methodist Church, 440 Snyder Ave., said. She secured participants from 1,700 covictim families and friends, with the committee selecting the First Sunday of Advent, which marks the spiritual countdown to Christmas. “We knew we wanted something before our respective holidays and today, especially for Christians, seemed fitting but

more so because special occasions often are the toughest for mourning families,” Paradis said. After Genito’s greeting, the visitors silently reflected on their loved ones’ lives, with the Collegiate Choir of Philadelphia offering a calming selection. The Jewish, Islamic and Christian traditions guided the service, as representatives petitioned for consolation and help. Rabbi Linda Holtzman, of Roxborough’s Mishkan Shalom, read the Kaddish, a central Jewish prayer believers use to reaffirm their faith despite their losses, with the congregation saying “We remember them” to musings on the departed. Imam Jameel Abdullah intoned an Islamic message before Rev. Allen Jenkins, of the St. Barnabas United Methodist Church, 1814 Wharton St., delivered Psalm 23’s vow never to fear evil because of God’s presence. More textual appreciation for life and the management of separation through death followed, with Sister Cathy Nerney, of Chestnut Hill’s Institute for Forgiveness and Reconciliation providing the Book of Isaiah’s tenet that God will destroy death forever; Maxwell stating the Epistle to the Romans’ contention that nothing will separate humanity from the love of God; and Sister Khadijah Alderman presenting Chapter 103 of the Quran, which gives insights on how to temper reactions to setbacks. With pieces of heart-shaped construction

paper bearing their fallen acquaintances’ names, the relatives and friends walked up the center aisle and placed the appellations in a glass bowl. As Johnson-Harrell, her mate and the other stricken parties marched forward, Nerney and Rev. Paul Morrissey, whose Augustinian Defenders of the Rights of the Poor charity will hold programs at the center, read the names. The committee members and speakers then held the bowl aloft to honor the deceased. Prayers of petition summarized the call for healing and peace, with the final hymn, “As the Deer Longs,” asking “Why do I mourn and toil within, when it is mine to hope in God?” “We all experience loss and must come to understand how to cope, especially when losses come through homicides,” Paradis, who foresees making the service an annual invocation, said. “The strength of these individuals commemorating their family members amazes me. Deciding to bring their pain to the Lord rather than seek retaliation merits so much regard.” Nearly two years after parting with her son, Johnson-Harrell knows the severity of recovery. “Losing Charles was the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me,” she said. “I’m just trying to survive it.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

LIONS CLUB continued from page 1 by offering physical and emotional sustenance to figures from Associated Services for the Blind, the Overbrook School for the Blind, the Rudolphy Mercy-Douglass Home and The St. Lucy Day School for Children with Visual Impairments, along with invitees from St. Monica Manor, 2509 S. Fourth St. “Many people know of us as helpers for people with visual problems, but we consider participating in any community building activity our true vocation,” secretary and 45-year member Nick Montone, of the 500 block of St. Michael Drive, said as the honorees received a monetary gift and greetings from host Jason Douglas, owner of DanceAdelphia, 1100 Snyder Ave., before sampling salads and pizza. The attendees filled 15 tables and eagerly fraternized with Montone and Douglas, a 21-year member, whose chapter’s altruism also includes acknowledging top football players from Edward Bok High School, 1901 S. Ninth St.; South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St.; and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St.; and providing scholarships to local secondary students. Though

navigating responsibilities minus the gift of sight can and has posed difficulties for the guests, the duo wanted them to realize the simplicity of knowing many people admire their pluck. “The charitable nature of the Lions Club attracted me,” Douglas, donning a recently

acquired jacket adorned with club pins, said during a break from cracking jokes and serving as a disc jockey. “I love the emphasis on community growth and support.” The energetic emcee has seen his club add diabetics and those with hearing woes to its list of beneficiaries, with their inclu-

sion accentuating opportunities for him and his colleagues to promote even more devotion to selflessness. “Our message is one of inclusivity,” Montone said, noting the club’s 1994 decision to incorporate the Lioness Club and end gender division has bred more harmony and results. Sister Meg Fleming has enjoyed accepting and spreading the local helpers’ message for the last 15 years. The principal of St. Lucy’s, a North Philly institution that assists 32 blind students and eight deaf pupils through its partnership with The Archbishop Ryan Academy for the Deaf, has brought excited youngsters to the Waterfall Room over that period, with her site receiving more than 25 years of aid, including tuition assistance endowments. “We’re so blessed to have the Lions Club’s backing,” the 2007 Distinguished Educator of Blind Children Award recipient, who brought a dozen thrilled learners with her, said. “They always make it a fun day for us and usually have us provide entertainment.” Shortly after she said that, Douglas called the children up to belt out Justin Bieber’s cover of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” with their rendition continued on page 13

Those matters, however, trailed declarations of gratitude for the opportunity to tout their perseverance and rejection of marginalization of them as people deserving pity. “We know we have differences,” St. Lucy’s eighth-grader Bridget Cassidy said just before she and the other attendees feasted on baked ziti, meatballs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, french fries and string beans, “but we have many strengths, too.” “I never notice a trace of negativity among our guests,” D’Aquilante said. “They appreciate everything.” He, Douglas, Montone and their allies are constantly planning how to promote their charitable philosophy, with this month always proving full. On Sunday, they will

hold a celebration for children following the 10 a.m. Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 18th and Morris streets, and will gather Tuesday for their Christmas dinner party at Galdo’s Catering & Entertainment, 1933 W. Moyamensing Ave. “This is an especially crucial time to remind people of their value to one another,” Montone, formerly the club’s president, who joined in the Lions toast of “Not above you, not below you but with you,” said. Philip DeLuca thanked Douglas and the others for their help in allowing him to participate in his fifth luncheon. The resident of 10th and Morris streets lost his vision shortly after his birth in 1958, as excessive oxygen from an incubator cost him an opportunity to experience the benefits of all five senses, but his situation has not sullied his spirit. “I enjoy coming,” the St. Lucy’s graduate, with mother Mary DeLuca at his side, said. “The food is always great, and the people are so kind. I hope to come back next year.” SPR For more information, call 215-7551051. Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Mourning his honor An area native, who served on the Court of Common Pleas, is believed to have killed himself.

fter serving less than two years in his dream role, Court of Common Pleas Judge Adam Beloff allegedly hanged himself inside his Ventnor, N.J. home Friday. The 48-yearold’s body was found the next day, according to published reports, which indicate his recent split from wife Christine Hope Beloff may have triggered his suicide. Judge Adam Beloff Mr. Beloff grew up at Sixth Street and Snyder Avenue with his parents, Stanley and the late-Ruth, as well as five siblings, including his latetwin brother, Marc. The Beloffs relocated to New Jersey when Mr. Beloff was 10. At age 12, he found his calling when

he was elected as a judge on student day at the Municipal Court he said in a 2009 interview with the South Philly Review prior to his election to the bench. “I’ve followed that path all my life,” the Northeast resident said. “Everyone who knows me knows I was destined to run for judge.” After finishing his undergraduate work at George Washington University and earning his juris doctorate at Michigan’s Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Mr. Beloff, whose local relatives include former boxer Dave Beloff and former City Councilman Leland Beloff, returned to his roots by opening his first practice on the 600 block of Snyder Avenue. He also served as the South Seventh Street Redevelopment Association president during that time. Prior to being elected, Mr. Beloff ran a family law practice in Center City with his wife. Services were held yesterday in Margate, N.J., but in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to a charity of choice, according to an obituary in The Press of Atlantic City. SPR

A Whitman musician plays with the all-volunteer Philadelphia Wind Ensemble, embarking on its second season next week. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

very Tuesday, many of Philadelphia’s professionals — doctors and lawyers, included — show up with instruments in hand to practice for the Philadelphia Wind Symphony. “We have this group made of people very much like myself, people who weren’t making a living playing — but there are some professionals and then there are amateurs,” Stephen Slater, who plays the French horn and serves as the director of development for the all-volunteer, 60-member group, said. “I love the diversity. It felt really enticing how diverse the group was.” Founded by Virginia Allen two years ago, the all woodwind-, brass- and percussion-playing group has its season’s first concert 7 p.m. Tuesday at University of the Arts’ Gershman Hall. “We have a guest conductor, Mr. [Brad] Genevro. He really wants to give Philadelphia a nice introduction to band literature — traditional marches interspersed with some really cool, great pieces by John Mackey,” Slater, from Sixth and Wolf streets, said. “Some is very jazz influenced; It really runs the gamut. There are diverse styles of music that you’ll hear, really cool combinations.” A one-time professional musician, Slater moved behind the scenes into arts administration and then arts education, a position he still currently holds full-time with The

Lifestyles Philadelphia Orchestra. The Philadelphia Wind Ensemble is a way for him, like so many others, to keep up with their craft and share it with a larger audience. “When I moved here, I was working in arts administration with The Philadelphia Orchestra. I grew up performing and I have an undergraduate and master’s [degree] in performance,” the 33-year-old said. “I love being a part of behind-the-scenes work for the orchestra or an ensemble. But I really wanted to play in Philly. It was a performance opportunity, and every Tuesday it’s simply a great way to make sure I get the horn on my face.” Despite busy schedules all of the members make time for weekly rehearsals. Each person also is responsible for the maintenance of their own instruments, though this can prove challenging for some of the sections of a wind ensemble. “As the director of development for the Philadelphia Wind [Ensemble] I’m hoping to garner funds for the biggest push, which is to buy percussion equipment,” Slater said. “We’re all-volunteer, and no one gets paid. We do this out of the love of music. Percussion equipment is quite cumbersome and can be quite expensive. My first mission in the second season is to help buy some percussion.” Despite the many expenses, the ensem-

ble has been met with generosity from organizations, such as The University of the Arts, who donated the rehearsal space. The community aspect of the group is one of its most attractive qualities. “I get to play with people who really are very passionate and this is not their job, which is something really cool. It’s a very cool vibe. I felt it in the first rehearsals,” he said. “There is a passion for performing and playing and while there are many wonderful opportunities in this city to see great music — this is an incredible city with a very classical music history — this is something a little more unique. You don’t see very many wind ensembles.” HAILING FROM ATLANTA, Ga., Slater took to music easily. He headed to New York City for an undergraduate education at Manhattan School of Music and then straight to a master’s degree — both in French horn performance — from University of Colorado at Boulder. “I got a job with Tales & Scales, in the ensemble. We were a traveling ensemble of musicians that performed very specific music tales — stories using musical theater and dance to tell them, geared toward elementary and middle school. “We traveled nationally and performed

— in school and after-school programs — these one-hour long stories. It was really unique.” His two years with the Evansville, Ind.based, four-member group helped to foster a love for arts education that would lead him to his current job. Before that, however, Slater was given the opportunity to see more of the world. “From there I went and played two months with the Macao Orchestra in China in 2009,” he said. “From there, I moved to Jerusalem, Israel, and played for two years, from 2009 to 2011.” When the financial support that allowed him the work visa to play in Israel was no longer available, Slater returned to his home state and moved into arts administration, taking on the role of artistic coordinator with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. “With Alabama, it filled that musical component of my life, being around music and being a part of it. I was helping them make a better performance. I had a hand in the great concerts they had every week,” he said. “But also, I went to administration out of necessity.” He secured a new job with The Philadelphia Orchestra in the same role, which he described as “guest artist liaison,” and moved to the area last year.

“I really liked Philadelphia. I feel like we all work — it’s a working-class city. To me, I see that as a really positive thing. I think you gain a lot of pride in your city because you work in it and you help make the city better in whatever job you’re doing,” he said. After a brief stint in Center City, Slater made the move to Passyunk Square and then settled in his Sixth-and-Wolf digs Sept. 1. He also moved within the orchestra to the role of teaching artist. “I love that instant gratification of talking to a student and them getting it, just thirsty for knowledge. I love that,” he said. With more opportunities to perform at work, he also is relishing the practice and performance opportunities he has with the Philadelphia Wind Ensemble. “I’m excited about learning new literature,” Slater said. “The rehearsal process to me is very exciting and fun. I love taking a piece of music and not only rehearsing it but practicing at home — the technical aspects, the phrasing of a line of music I’m about to play. “I love that while playing, I’m listening to others and playing off them like a conversation. Playing with other people is just like having a conversation.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

An assortment of make-believe characters, such as Santa Claus (voiced by Alec Baldwin) and Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine), fight against the doings of Pitch Black (voiced by Jude Law).

‘Guardians’ fail to rise By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ecause one hero just isn’t enough in this overstimulated age of “The Avengers,” “Rise of the Guardians” assembles a team of bedtime-story personalities, including Santa Claus (voiced by Alec Baldwin), the Tooth Fairy (voiced by Isla Fisher), the Easter Bunny (voiced by Hugh Jackman), and the speech-free Sandman. There’s also Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine), who should be pleased that he beat Cupid and the St. Patrick’s Day leprechaun to this party, but is instead bummed out that so few kiddies believe in him. Frost is chosen (by the Man in the Moon, natch) to join the established Guardians in their fight against Pitch Black (Jude Law), aka the Boogeyman, who’s also tired of having insufficient believers, and as a result, vows to fill the world with nightmares and strip children of their holidayhero faith. Adapted by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire from a book series by William Joyce, “Guardians” certainly follows the bigger, better formula, striving to be the ultimate kids flick for any festive season, but it’s the animated formula that it follows way too closely. There are far too many CGI toons content to unfold in a preordained manner, hitting all the usual narrative beats and leaving minimal room for surprise. There’s precious little urgency in “Guardians,” as Frost’s arc is dutifully by-the-numbers, and the requisite end-stage battle is overstuffed with all the usual “take that” quips (with Jackman’s native Aussie accent, the Easter Bunny is a wellspring of downunder clichés). There’s some noteworthy imagery in the film, particularly Sandman and Pitch’s competing granular effects, which, in gold

and black hues, respectively, envelop the land with their shifting shapes. It’s a better flourish than, say, the coolness factors given to old St. Nick, who’s all covered in tattoos and lives with Yetis. Sure, this film will give young viewers plenty to gawk at, and plenty more to envision when they close their eyes at night, but this year alone, “The Lorax” and “Brave” proved there are much better flicks on which to spend their allowances.

ith “Skyfall” in release, everyone has Bond fever again, but they shouldn’t forget this rebooted alternative, which sees Jeremy Renner ably step into Matt Damon’s shoes to pilot a franchise that runs on grit and gumption. Playing a rogue agent trained in the same program as Jason Bourne, Aaron Cross (Renner) proves a worthy successor, and takes viewers on a wild introductory ride — with more sure to come. Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton also join the cast. SPR

a giveaway at a Washington Nationals game) and plunges it into the jar with his “urine.” Just another form of artistic freedom, wink, wink. Beck announces that he will auction off his work of “art”, which he calls Obama in Pee Pee, for $25,000 on eBay. I’m not sure, but isn’t one “pee” in the title enough? It turns out that the high bid for Beck’s work of satire is $11,000, which either shows you that tough times have set in on the right since Mitt Romney’s defeat or the Koch Brothers were out of the country. Cayman Islands, perhaps? And what happens next, you ask? Acting no doubt out of fear of wrath from the rabid left, eBay pulled the item citing an arcane requirement in its bylaws. At this point, libertarians everywhere might want to boycott eBay, but I would wait until after the Christmas season out of self-interest, a concept that libertarians understand all too well. The controversy rages. Is Beck a satirical genius, just a guy trying to make a buck selling fake urine, or just a schmuck? I know which way I am leaning. Beck claims the larger point he is trying to make is that there are those in this country who would deny Christ, but defend the desecration of Christian themes. Some would say he also is making the point that there are Americans who would deify Obama, the false messiah. What Beck and his loyalists can’t figure out is that freedom of expression means that in America there is no right to censor something just because you are offended. We don’t issue a fatwa around here. What some on the left don’t get is that many taxpayers get pissed (if you’ll pardon the expression) when you use their money to fund a photo of a crucifix floating in some idiot’s urine. Also memo to Beck and his fans: If they want to criticize folks who deify a president, maybe you ought to start with those who genuflect every time Ronald Reagan’s name is mentioned. Finally, Beck is about as funny as a heart attack, and as the guy on the TV ad keeps saying, heart attacks aren’t funny. He is a jerk who willfully distorts history and has a messianic complex (there’s a bit of irony for you, Glenn). But he also heads up the charitable organization Mercury One, which is doing a lot of good helping victims of Hurricane Sandy. The $11,000 he raised for the sale of his Obamain Pee Pee is being donated to that charitable organization, Beck said. So all’s well that ends well, as the Bard once wrote. Now if only the politicians from both parties can come up with a reasonable budget deal, maybe we can get our country out of deep doo-doo. SPR

ight wing talk show host Glenn Beck has found a way to irritate the left again. First some background. In 1987, Andres Serrano staged a photograph of a small plastic crucifix immersed in what appeared to be the artist’s own urine. As you can imagine, the controversial photograph that the National Endowment for the Arts funded, in part with taxpayers’ money, created quite a fuss, although it must be said that Christians did not burn down Serrano’s house, target him for assassination or stop eating Serrano ham when they could afford it. Some on the left defended the photograph as representing artistic freedom and freedom of speech. At the time, my take on the whole thing was my liberal brethren should beware of embracing government funding for art because it would inevitably result in the censorship of said art. Enter Beck. Beck has fallen from the high perch he once held when he threatened to rival the Bloviator-in-Chief, Rush Limbaugh. The only way to regain his popularity was to out-Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh. He put out a video in which he feigns outrage at a Michael D’Antuono painting of President Barack Obama wearing a crown of thorns with outstretched arms in a crucifixion pose. The painting is currently hanging in a Boston art gallery (the main redeeming feature being that taxpayers did not subsidize it). Wearing a beret and speaking with a faux French accent, Beck claims that though he hates the painting, he defends it as an expression of artistic freedom. Why the French accent? You know how the right hates everything French, except maybe French fries, and when they are not claiming that Obama was born in Kenya, they think of him as French for reasons that only can be determined by subjecting them to psychoanalysis. And then Beck stages the coup de grace, if you’ll pardon my French. In the video, Beck unveils a Mason jar of yellow liquid he claims is his own urine. Internet rumors abound that the liquid is actually Country Time lemonade or Dos Equis beer, which some would say is as close to urine as one can get. If it is Dos Equis, it doesn’t make Beck the most interesting man in the world, only the most desperate. Beck then takes an Obama bobblehead doll (maybe he got one as

Sure, it’s OK to eat that way, but it would taste much better with several spoonfuls of Mattao Bertino’s Fresh Tomato Sauce tossed in the mix. The resident of the 2500 block of South 12th Street doesn’t take any shortcuts by using a store-bought jar. Instead, he combines tomatoes, olives and a variety of other flavorful ingredients that will make the extra effort well worth it. SPR

DIRECTIONS: Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil. Add the tomatoes and olives and let cook for 10 minutes. Add the wine

I shared it since two large slices of meat were included. Cavanaugh’s reminded me of the many pubs Edward and I have enjoyed in London.

bination of flavors and textures in this appetizer. Two large rolls came with the order along with a good size mound of salad greens dressed in a light vinaigrette. I don’t recall whether Cavanaugh’s near Rittenhouse Square serves mussels ($6.99), but I had to try them.There was a choice of red or white sauce. A large bowl of gleaming, squeaky clean mussels bathed in a slightly milky garlic broth brightened my evening. They were perfectly steamed and not one bit chewy. Two large slices of hot garlic bread came with the dish. This was a meal in itself. I always enjoyed Cavanaugh’s onion soup, but decided to sample New England clam chowder ($6.99). This rich soup was prepared with onions, potatoes and clams swimming in creamy broth, which was so downright warming and delicious, it rivaled any chowder I have tried in Boston. Now on to the roast beef: Since our dinner took place a week after Thanksgiving, I craved meat. The beef was roasted rare to medium-rare and was so tender, I could have cut it with a butter knife. A rich, brown sauce topped the beef and was a fine tasty foil for the Yorkshire pudding that came with dinner. A small mound of roasted potatoes and asparagus rounded out the platter. Edward and

our years ago, cousin Carl discovered Cavanaugh’s near Rittenhouse Square. We enjoyed a delightful dinner there and I have returned on numerous occasions for a good burger lunch or jumbo salad. Several months ago, a waiter told me the owners of Cavanaugh’s were taking over the Dark Horse in Headhouse Square. Edward and I looked forward to dinner on a cold evening. The transition from the Dark Horse to Cavanaugh’s Headhouse Square remains a work in progress as the old sign is still on the building, as well as the bill receipt. The menu, however, had the Cavanaugh’s name. We climbed a long flight of stairs to the dining room where a gentleman pointed out the blackboard specials: A choice of roast beef, roast turkey or roast pork for $12.95. “Roast beef sounds good to me,” I said. “I can’t look at turkey for quite a while.” We decided to join the revelers in the bar during happy hour and sipped perfectlyprepared cocktails: A martini ($9) for Edward and a Rob Roy ($12) for me. The menu includes a few of Cavanaugh’s favorites but I wanted to try the new dishes. These are happy-hour prices by the way. Sausage rolls ($7.99) brought me right back to London. Seasoned pork was wrapped in delicate puff pastry and baked in the oven. Edward and I liked the com-

Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

Better check the cooking oil supply as it’s the must-have ingredient for traditional Hannukah dishes. rot cake is a favorite, but I found a recipe for an olive oil cake, perfect for Hanukkah since it was the oil used during biblical times. The recipe is from “Dolci: Italy’s Sweets” by Francine Segan.

■ Classic Potatoes Latkes ■

Ingredients:

4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 4 extra-large eggs, beaten 1 cup of matzo meal, or a bit more 2 teaspoons of kosher salt Canola oil

■ Applesauce ■

Ingredients:

6 gala or Braeburn apples, peeled, seeded and cut into small chunks 1 cup of apple cider or juice Sprinkling of kosher salt Sprinkling of cinnamon

Directions: Place the apples and apple juice or cider in a 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook, mashing the apples down with the back of a wooden spoon from time-to-time, until they soften into small chunks. Place the applesauce in a bowl. Add kosher salt and cinnamon. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serves four.

■ Luscious Olive Oil Lemon Cake ■

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup of potato starch 1-1/4 cups of whole almonds 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract 6 ounces of white chocolate, grated 3 heaping tablespoons of candied lemon peel

Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 9-inch round cake pan and dust with potato starch. In a food processor, grind the almonds and confectioners’ sugar until the mixture resembles fine sand. Add the vanilla, white chocolate, candied lemon peel, lemon zest, potato starch, baking powder and soda. Process until well combined. Add the oil and process until combined. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until they triple in volume, for at least 10 minutes. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, slowly incorporate the almond mixture into the egg-sugar mixture until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for five minutes. Lower the heat to 320 degrees and bake for about 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake on a wire rack for at least one hour and turn the cake out onto a platter to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Serves 10.

Directions: Working in batches, grate the potatoes in the food processor fitted with the grating blade. Squeeze out as much of the water as you can and place the potatoes into a large bowl. Immediately pour the eggs over the potatoes to keep them from turning color. Add the salt and matzo meal and blend well. A bit more matzo meal may need to be added to the mixture if it feels too wet. Heat the oil over medium-high in a large skillet. Using a tablespoon, drop the potato mixture into the hot oil and press down. Fry the latkes for about three minutes on each side until golden brown. You can keep prepared latkes warm in a 250-degree oven. Serves four.

Note from Phyllis: This recipe can be easily doubled.

Grated zest of 3 lemons 2 teaspoons of baking powder 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 5 large eggs 4 tablespoons of sugar

anukkah, the Festival of Lights, begins at sundown Saturday. The eight-day celebration is a minor holiday on the Jewish calendar. It is an historical event that recalls the victory of Judah Maccabee and his band of brothers over the Syrians. As the story goes, there was just enough oil in the lamp over the ark, which holds the torah, for one day, but a miracle occurred and the oil lasted for eight days. As with all Jewish holidays, family, friends, songs and good food form the basis for Hanukkah gatherings. I pull out my childhood menorah, buy extra candles just in case and look forward to the Novack family party. Foods fried in oil take center stage. Potato Latkes are the most famous holiday dish. I make them during the week and serve them with sour cream, homemade Applesauce, a bit of caviar as a rare splurge and some Champagne. My grandmother grated raw Idaho potatoes using a box grater. They were wrapped in a kitchen towel or large piece of cheese cloth and well-dried. She then squeezed out all the water from the potatoes. A good rule of thumb is one egg for each potato. Salt, pepper and matzo meal are added to the potatoes. I use Canola oil for frying but peanut oil is another good choice. Homemade Applesauce is easy to prepare. I like to dust it with a bit of cinnamon before serving. The Novack family party always takes place on a Sunday afternoon. I peruse my cookbooks for a simple cake recipe. Car-

Stoked Stokes

A basketball star is excited to elevate his Girard Estate team’s stock.

don’t want for us to stop jumping,” he said with a smile. “I confess I used to be scared about playing certain schools because our mentality wasn’t the best. That’s changed now, and we’re ready for every challenge.” ALONG WITH AIMING for athletic harmony, the teenager has sought the musical equivalent since joining the GAMP community. Drums drew his attention during his time at Abraham S. Jenks Academic Plus, 2501 S. 13th St., and helped him to gain admission at his current site. He continued his rhythmic pounding for three more years before deciding to focus on his choir duties. “I’m not sure how good I am at singing, but people have said I can do it,” he said. “I enjoy contributing.” Stokes has furthered that philosophy throughout his matriculation, also serv-

ing as GAMP’s softball team manager for two years and as a volunteer for cleanups at Stephen Girard Park, 21st and Shunk streets. He also has gained important life lessons through extensive time as a member of the Ford P.A.L. Center, 609 Snyder Ave., where he has participated in numerous athletic and educational activities, including baseball, chess, flag football and the 24 Math Challenge. Earlier this year, Officer Joseph Ellerby, the center’s director, nominated Stokes to receive commendation for his commitment. The youngster and more than 20 of his peers visited City Hall for the annual Lockheed Martin P.A.L. Day, which involved career development discussions. “It was a great chance to learn about preparing for life,” Stokes, who received a memento from P.A.L.’s honorary presi-

hough he will not begin majoring in communications until next year, senior Tobias Stokes already has composed a stern message for the foes of Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St.: Be prepared for battle. One season removed from leading his Girard Estate squad to a nine-game improvement, the 18-year-old shooting guard is preparing to guide it to greater gains, including a postseason berth. “We’re going to be really good because we’re committed to giving our all and making opponents take notice,” the resident of Sixth and McKean streets, whose team will open its campaign with tomorrow’s 3:15 p.m. home game against The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., said Friday. “I want at least 13 wins and know we have the pieces to get them.” Stokes, who has attended the magnet school since fifth grade, credits perceptions of the Pioneers as inferior athletes following their 2-20 mark two seasons ago as inspiration for a rejuvenation. “Other schools wanted to play us to pad their records, and we went out and showed our talent,” he said of registering an 11-11 season, which included a 7-5 run against Division E adversaries. “Because of last season, we’re serious about being contenders.” Stokes always has favored feeling fiery about hoisting GAMP into the upper echelon. After limited time as a freshman, he deposited 15.1 points per tilt in his inaugural year as a starter, upping that to 16 as a junior, each time heading the scoring list for coach Art Kratchman. One of the more memorable highlights was draining eight three-pointers in a 77-46 triumph over Friends Select. “I rely on my speed and accuracy,” the 5-foot-9 athlete said of his style. “I like playing on the perimeter, but I can surprise people with my penetration skills, too.” To break through to achieve greatness, his senior-heavy unit must aim for consistency against its division dwellers, including The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St. Stokes noted the Pioneers have dealt with injuries but should find themselves fully loaded against Division D’s Palumbo. “We made great leaps last year, but I

dent, Mayor Michael A. Nutter, said of the winter ceremony. “It really helped me to learn about many things, including managing schedules.” As his final season in South Philly dawns, he has returned to the ever-challenging task of making sure his academic responsibilities receive ample attention, too. He excels in mathematics yet does not wish to study numbers as a collegiate, with Kutztown and West Chester universities as his primary interests. “I enjoy communications and really feel I could excel in it, maybe through sports,” Stokes said. Each time he slips on his sneakers this season, he intends to convey that the Pioneers’ days as also-rans are over and that a new period of prestige is set to commence. “I think this can be a special year for us,” Stokes, who is 256 points away from hitting the 1,000-point mark, said. “I know I’m excited to bring excitement to our supporters. I want to make GAMP a baseball school and a basketball school. We can do this.” SPR

3 Tips Before selling 1

Ask your agent to show you their marketing plan- (It’s no coincidence that we sell 70% of the Homes in your area).

Interview any other agents that you might have in mind- (find out where & how many of your commission dollars are being spent to advertising your property.

Find out where your commission dollars are really going- (90% of buyers start their search by looking for homes on the internet.) What is your online presence? Can potential buyers even see your home?

LegaL Notice

PUBLIC NOTICE OF SUBMISSION OF A MAJOR PERMIT MODIFCATION APPLICATION TO A CONSTRUCTION / DEMOLITION TRANSFER FACILITY Notice is hereby given that on or about November 30, 2012, FMRA, Inc. will file a permit application with the Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Southeastern Regional Office to authorize the acceptance of municipal waste (MSW) as an additional waste type at an existing, permitted rail and truck served construction / demolition (C & D) transfer facility (Permit No. 101687) located on the Camden site and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) property located within the City of Philadelphia at the confluence of the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers. The permit application is being submitted to authorize the acceptance of up to 300 tons per day of municipal waste in addition to the currently approved acceptance of construction /demolition waste. The construction and operation of the existing facility was approved by DEP on July 14, 2008 with authorization to accept up to 1500 tons per day of approved waste with all outbound waste to be transferred by rail except for up to 300 tons per day of waste by truck. The application does not propose any changes in the current approved capacity of the facility, the permit area, outbound truck limits or operating hours. Internal modifications to the approved transfer facility are proposed to address issues concerning the acceptance and transfer of municipal waste. All municipal waste received will be transferred by truck to designated, permitted disposal facilities. As the host municipality and county, the City of Philadelphia may submit comments to DEP within 60 days of receipt of the permit application recommending conditions upon, revisions to and approval or disapproval of the permit application. DEP will also accept and consider comments from the public during the permit review process. A copy of the permit application will be available for review at the DEP Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401-4915. Comments should be directed to Mr. Robert D. France, Acting Regional Waste Management Manager at this same address.
