ormer Governor Ed Rendell was greeted by a welcoming committee, four students and lifelong educator, Anne Spector, as he climbed the stairs at the entryway

of Edwin M. Stanton Elementary School, 1700 Christian St., Friday.

As part of his wife’s mission while she served as Pennsylvania’s rst lady, Judge Marjorie Rendell initiated a program that would stoke civic engagement and knowledge.

Last fall, the federal judge on the

United States Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, along with her husband and Arcadia University, with support from the National Constitution Center, challenged fourth and fifth graders with an essay contest.

The question posed was: “The Constitution requires that a person run-

ning for president must be a natural citizen, meaning they were born in this country. Do you think this should be changed?”

There were over 160 entrants from the five-county Philadelphia area, See RENDELL page 10 >>

Basic math To the Editor: Maybe if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put in simple and logical terms, maybe, just maybe, some of our bone-headed leaders will be able to grasp the practicality of one and one makes two. Necessity or not, practicality takes preference, and of course, the affordability prospect again enters the equation. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly spend what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, can you?

There is no doubt why the raising of the minimum wage is an imposing factor. The more money people have and the more they spend, the more others will profit. What goes around, comes around. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strangle incomes, and at the same time, expect the economy to improve. It will continue to stagnate, wither and need the impetus and driving force of stimulation, the power from more spending will enhance. How blind must we be not to see this?

What happens when you lower the amount of food stamps allocated to the poor and needy? Again, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, so

all the food markets take the hit and the brunt of the cuts. The less business they have, the fewer employees they need, and must let go. It increases the jobless rate that adds to the dilemma and no doubt the closing of little mom-and-pop businesses. This vicious chain of events can only be thwarted by the increased expenditures of funds instead of the strangulation and deprivation that has proved to be so destructive.

Our very own government has proved itself to be the biggest problem and hindrance. You need to spend money to make money.

Ask any business.

We need widespread change in our political system before they completely cripple the chance of growth with[in] our economy and country.

Nothing is destined to change until we the people change it.

God gave us the tools. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use them. This is, after all, our country, not theirs.

Supporting Meatless Mondays To the Editor: I would like to voice my enthusiastic support for The Humane Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to get Meatless Monday implemented in the Philadelphia School District. As a teacher at G.W. Childs School, I have seen the effects a poor diet can have on children. When students are fed unhealthy foods at lunch, it affects their focus for the rest of the day. I feel that giving them healthful, plant-based meals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even just one day a week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would lead to increased attentiveness and better performance.

In addition, it would help reduce their risk for obesity and early onset diabetes, allowing them to lead longer, healthier lives.

If you are like me and would like to see Philadelphia join the numerous school districts across the nation already participating in Meatless Monday, please visit phillymeatlessmonday.com to learn more and sign the petition.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to agree with Sam Martin.

Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they open a supermarket where there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any other food stores? Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be reading about the Pathmark employees losing their jobs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great idea for low income families, but not so great for anyone who works at Pathmark.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too many conservatives are bigots (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thoughts in Winter,â&#x20AC;? Jan. 30)?

Can you name five fairly recognizable conservative bigots along with one reason for why they are bigots?â&#x20AC;?

Kevin Metz via southphillyreview.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too many conservatives or at least those who call themselves conservative that I know personally are bigots.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on high profile conservatives because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know them personally. The reason they are bigots is clear from their private comments and not-so private comments on Facebook. I repeat what I said in the column I am not calling all conservatives bigots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that would be silly and incorrect, and I have corrected some of my friends who have made that claim.â&#x20AC;?

COLD-HEARTED CASE: Mother Nature must have a love-hate relationship with romantic gestures, as she has spent a great portion of the last three weeks dumping snow on this Pennsport-situated heart. With Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day approaching, maybe the matriarch can spare the token of affection on the 200 block of Moore Street her wrath and give its message of positivity a chance to melt even the most lovelorn individuals.

he situation began at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 30 on the 1800 block of South Bancroft Street, with two workers from Philadelphia Gas Works reaching a residence in response to a gas leak call, company spokeswoman Melanie McCottry said. Detecting gas, they commenced shutting off service to nearby homes yet could not gain entry into two abodes.

While they were in one house, neighbors reported an explosion at 7:05 p.m., Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said, with firefighters observing light smoke emanating from a two-story location’s top floor and heavy fire situated on the first floor.

Shortly after, officials confirmed the cause as a basement-based gas fire, which spread to an adjacent domicile before workers gained control over it just after 8 p.m.

According to McCottry, the PGW employees suffered minor injuries in the matter, with three children and 10 adults evacuated, according to Ayers. Published reports have said the American Red Cross had assumed care of three displaced families, recommending they head to True Tabernacle Baptist Church, 1606 Mifflin St., Detective Danielle Tolliver, of South Detective Division, said the hurt employees and an occupant of the site where the incident originated received transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She added authorities are still investigating the matter.

Heartache at home Four offenders burst into a Whitman residence Sunday, using a weapon to rob the homeowner.

At 12:20 a.m., the complainant stated the unknown figures entered his home on the 2600 block of South Sixth Street, with an armed individual producing a hand gun and barking a demand for money to intimidate him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The foursome pushed him, grabbing his cell phone and cash- and identification-containing wallet before using a silver Acura coupe to escape.

The victim, who last saw them heading to the area of Seventh and Porter streets, described three of the intruders as black males, all in their 20s and wearing dark clothing. He labeled the fourth as a white man, in his 30s, 5-foot-10, slim and having a light beard and brown hair.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Duo nabbed Police arrested two men for their alleged invasion of a Point Breeze home last week.

The law enforcement workers ventured to a house on the 2300 block of Ellsworth Street at 12:19 p.m. Jan. 30, where they learned from an occupant that he heard voices downstairs while he tended to something on the third floor, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He yelled downstairs, then observed two black men, one wearing a black hoodie and the other camouflage pants, bolting from the abode and heading down 24th Street.

While in route to the domicile, officers had received flash information from the resident’s call to 911. During their travels, they located individuals who matched the descriptions, Tolliver said, detaining the second reported offender on the 2400 block of Reed Street. Backup help stopped the first supposed intruder on the 2300 block of Wilder Street, observing him with a brown paper bag.

The complainant received transport to the locations and gave positive identification of the men as those who had entered his home. Authorities recovered a laptop and Asian currency from the alleged perpetrators. They charged 19-year-old West Philly resident Quran McClendon and 19-year-old West Philly dweller Zahkeem Gaskins with criminal conspiracy, two counts of theft, criminal trespassing, criminal mischief and burglary.

Extra accusations Already in trouble for his alleged Christmas Day burglary of a Point Breeze location, a Grays Ferry man received additional charges last week in connection with four other heists.

On Jan. 31, authorities detained 41-yearold Lorenzo Whitaker, of the 2600 block of Oxford Street, two days after they had obtained an arrest warrant for him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They had been targeting him in an ongoing investigation for a series of commercial burglaries along the Point Breeze Avenue business corridor, including the aforementioned holiday incident at 21st Stop & Shop, 2050 Dickinson St.,

In the 21st Stop & Shop incident, authorities responded to a burglary alarm and met the proprietor, with whom they conducted a walk-through that led to their discovering a hole in the ceiling, damage to the ATM and a bag of tools next to the machine. They located the alleged intruder hiding under the deli counter and arrested him. Whitaker, whom Tolliver said has declined to give a statement regarding the five matters, received possession of an instrument of crime, theft, criminal trespassing, burglary and criminal mischief charges.

Fourth St., told authorities at noon on Jan. 29 she observed that someone had gained entry into her business and removed a radio, a printer and an empty cash drawer, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She had secured the site at approximately 2 p.m. two days prior, finding a rear door forced open upon her

return. Authorities could not tell if any surveillance footage captured the incident.

Underhanded action A woman retained her purse but suffered a punctured hand in an incident last week.

Authorities met with the female at 1:33 p.m. Jan. 29, learning from her that at 9 a.m., she had been walking along the 700 block of Mifflin Street when someone approached her from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man attempted to snatch her pocketbook, but she countered with a strong hold.

The thwarted figure pulled out a knife and stabbed her left hand before fleeing, Tolliver said, eastbound on Mifflin toward Fifth Street. The victim, who received transport to the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for treatment of a small puncture wound, described the attacker as black, 200 pounds and wearing a black coat and the same color pants and ski mask.

Girard Estate gyration While talking on her phone Saturday night in Girard Estate, a woman met with a bag-seeking stranger.

At 6:35 p.m., the female, having walked eastbound on Ritner Street and traveling between South Hicks and South Mole streets, encountered the foreign figure, who used a sneak attack originating from behind to grab her bag, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The attempt caused the complainant to spin around and fall to the ground, where she screamed for help.

The aggressor fled on foot, last seen traveling southbound along South Hicks Street. As a result of the fall, the woman, who retained her bag despite taking a tumble, experienced difficulty walking and felt pain on the left side of her body, Tolliver said, leading to transport to Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St. She described the attacker as black, 5-foot-10; having a thin build; and wearing a dark jacket with red in the middle and a dark hoodie.

A man suffered an abrasion to his chin after receiving a punch in Point Breeze last week.

At 11:28 p.m. Jan. 29, authorities responded to a call from a man who stated he had been walking southbound on 22nd Street when he decided to cross over Washington Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

He heard people running behind him and before he reached Ellsworth Street, one of the galloping males delivered a punch to the left side of his face.

He began running but noted the offenders gave chase. Stopping on Ellsworth Street, he again encountered the striker, who ran past him and kept going, Tolliver said, with the other males turning away and running eastbound on Ellsworth Street. The victim, who told authorities nobody spoke to him to make any demands for property and that no weapons were involved, described two of the attackers as white, 5-foot-10, in their early 20s, having a medium build and wearing dark hoodies. He tabbed the third as having a medium build and possibly wearing a hoodie but could not determine his race.

Columbus’ hefty task Passyunk Square’s centerpiece is in line for a $3-million makeover.

■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

C

olumbus Square Park, which sits between 12th and 13th Streets and Wharton and Reed, may be unrecognizable in two years. Plans were unveiled for the proposed $3-million project at the Jan. 30 meeting held at the site. Plenty of residents were on hand to share accolades and concerns for the schematics’ details.

Project highlights include the implementation of a natural turf playing field, the demolition of the currently unused stone roundhouse and the elimination of adult use of ball fields in conjunction with the fields’ arranged such that they cannot be used at the same time.

The work of the Parks and Recreation Department, as represented by Mark A. Focht, and the Friends of Columbus Square Advisory Council, spoken for by Ilene Wilder, the organization’s president, began in the spring of 2013. Their work with the Community Design Collaborative (CDC) yielded detailed drawings that were influenced by a number of meetings, in addition to emails and letters from park neighbors with a wide array of wishes.

The playing fields at the park are currently in pretty rough shape as a result of overuse and a lack of irrigation. Some requested better playground equipment, others an improved dog park, and many simply wanted more multi-use green space.

“People feel passionately about the site and that is a good thing,” Focht, the first deputy commissioner at Parks & Rec. and the president of the American Society of Landscape Architects, said.

Wilder, who also has served as the Advisory Council’s vice president, as well as a Passyunk Square Civic Association board member, came to Philadelphia from Chicago 10 years ago, and chose her home because of its proximity to the park.

“I love this neighborhood and wanted to get involved to help make this a great community,” she said.

The CDC started meeting with members of the community through a task force that 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla encouraged Wilder to put together.

“We had a task force with roughly 23 people on it. We invited people who lived around the park, both long-term residents as well as relative newcomers; people who represented

teams that played on the field, parents, people from the dog park and interested parties such as the developer of Wharton Lofts, PARC [Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp.] and PSCA [Passyunk Square Civic Association] representatives,” she said.

The construction costs are estimated to cap out at around $3 million, which is high when compared to the Schuylkill River Dog Park ($800,000).

“The construction cost estimate is a bit on the high side for a site of this size,” Focht noted. “However, the cost is fully justified considering the extent of athletic field restoration required and the quality of materials and support systems (irrigation) we want to install.”

Perhaps of most interest to meeting participants was the demolition of the roundhouse and the shrinking of the playing fields.

“We had representatives from the permitted teams. They were well aware of what

R e n d e r i n g p r o v i d e d b y C o m m u n i t y D e s i g n C o l l a b o r at i v e

The 13th Street side of the park will see much-improved seating options. was going on,” Wilder said. “As for the roundhouse, that was a decision made by the Parks and Rec. Dept. based strictly on the economics of the situation. The cost to bring that building to usable condition could not be justified.”

Wilder, the PSCA and the site’s advisory council have already started the process of

seeking private and public monies to fund the project.

“This park will allow the neighborhood to continue growing and being one of the best places to live in Philadelphia,” Wilder said. We have such an engaged, informed and energetic community and I will do everything I can to see this project become a reality.” SPR

Plans for EPA “Gateway” revealed The entry point for Philadelphia’s hottest commercial corridor will get a fresh face.

early 20 residents gathered at a conference room inside the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Primary Care, 1930 S. Broad St., Jan. 29 to get a glimpse at the future of the space where East Passyunk Avenue meets South Broad Street.

The Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corporation (PARC) conducted the meeting that entailed a reveal of the renderings for what it’s calling the “East Passyunk Gateway.”

An empty triangular space that juts out from the doors of the United Savings Bank, 1945 E. Passyunk Ave., the underused space is what leaders from PARC and the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District (EPABID), along with the lead architect, Bryan Hanes of Studio Bryan Hanes, decided would be the most ripe for transformation.

With a $500,000 grant from the William Penn Foundation, the project was gifted the necessary resources to get the renovation off the ground.

“We were approached by PARC and asked to think about the numerous bits and pieces of odd and left-over spaces along the Avenue,” Hanes said. “As we worked through each of these areas, the Gateway at Broad Street be-

East Passyunk Avenue is expected to gain a welcoming entrance this fall. gan to emerge as a significant, though small, opportunity along the corridor.”

The space, as designed, is set to include a water feature, benches, chairs and tables, much more greenery, a potential for Philadelphia’s first Bike Share pilot program and a multi-use pergola.

Perhaps one of the most exciting bits of news to emerge from the meeting was Sam Sherman, PARC’s executive director, revealing that his organization’s been putting a “full-court press” to renovate and reactivate the space known as Colombo’s, 1934 E. Passyunk Ave., within sight lines of the “Gateway.”

At the meeting, it was revealed that they will “maintain the awning and café seating,” and that “it will not be a cheesesteak joint or a burger spot,” but “a restaurant that

will reference old Philadelphia but [it will] also be something hip enough” to excite new residents, he said.

On the space, Sherman expressed excitement with the design and its future usages.

“It is flexible and will bring different groups to the space,” he said. “The water feature will attract families with children, the bike share will generate traffic, the tables and benches will encourage people to sit and linger and the flexspace (pergola) will accommodate various users, depending on the need.”

To be noted, the “Gateway” does fall into the purview of a great number of civic associations: East Passyunk Crossing Civic, Newbold Civic and Newbold Neighbors, Passyunk Square Civic, Lower Moyamensing Civic, Broad Street West Civic and South Broad Street Neighborhood. Seemingly, all of these groups will have access to the space.

With an ambitious May starting point, Sherman and Hanes are hoping for a sixmonth buildout with an eye on September or October for its big debut.

Renee Gilinger, the executive director of the EPABID, expressed excitement about the way the “Gateway” will greet first-timers and lifelong residents alike.

“Yes, we are all very excited about it!” she said. “We want it to be representative of the lovely corridor we have all collectively built and maintained.” SPR

Branching out

and the top-10 essay-writers (and their respective classes) were invited to the Independence Mall-based site to present and defend their ideas. One school was awarded a $1,000 check for first place, while three schools were awarded $500 for second through fourth places. Joan Williams’ fourth grade class at the South of South institution got fourth place and a special inschool meeting with the former governor.

The 33 students that filled Williams’ classroom were thrilled for the visit and had prepared extensively for his arrival.

Before Gov. Rendell’s arrival, she asked her class questions about which issues the president of the United States should be most concerned. The answers were alarmingly mature and thought-out: “Bullying,” “Guns,” “Drugs and alcohol,” and “Education” were all suggested.

When Rendell arrived, the students were noticeably pumped but kept their composure and let their distinguished guest speak on the nature of the project before opening the room up to questions. But before he started speaking, soft-spoken Audrey Ford, the winning essay-writer, stood in front of the class and clearly articulated Rendell’s accomplishments and offices fulfilled.

“I got elected governor in 2002 and I began serving in 2003,” she said.

“Were any of you alive in 2003?” Rendell joked. Only some raised their hands.

He went on to explain that the civic concept was a term-length project orchestrated by the Keystone State’s former first lady, not unlike Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign to address obesity.

“She wanted to make sure that our young people, from K through 12, learned about the Constitution, our government and learn how important it is to participate in government and politics,” he explained. “She formed something called PennCORD.” PennCORD is “a coalition of state organizations committed to implementing in every Pennsylvania school the six classroom and extracurricular approaches to civic learning recommended in the Carengie Corporation’s Civic Mission of Schools Report (2003).”

The Pennsylvania Bar Association, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Judge Rendell were the project leaders.

During his visit, Ed Rendell shared his explanation of the challenge question with his eager listeners. As it were, the majority of the students and Rendell agreed: The president need not be native-born.

“For example if someone is born in Canada, that person is not eligible [to become president],” he said. “Do you know who Arnold Schwarzenegger is? The [former] governor of California. But he was born in

Austria, and he was not eligible to run for president. When I was elected Governor in 2002, Jennifer Granholm, the governor of the State of Michigan was born in Canada. Her family moved to the United States when she was 3.”

MEETING ANNE SPECTOR, a Center City resident and lifelong educator, at an Educators’ Night Out at the Constitution Center helped Williams set the foundation for the civics project. Spector downplayed her role, but confessed that the museum calls her their literary expert: “Who knows?,” Spector joked. “I believe that reading is your first freedom, and I’m going to use books everywhere because they’re our entries into everything.”

They struck up a friendly conversation about curriculum, and Williams expressed an interest in working more social studies into her classroom’s activities. With the focus of elementary classrooms often so oriented to math and reading because of standardized testing, Williams eagerly invited Spector to her classroom.

“I think that from when Anne came in and did a pre-lesson, and I piggy-backed on what she taught,” Williams explained, “we talked about democracy and the constitution, and the qualifications for president, and we had really meaningful classroom discussions before they even wrote their essays.”

Spector helped create the book lists used in some PennCORD-driven civic-interested classrooms. She believes books can help students approach rich and deep topics without fear.

“We use [the book list] as a foundation and my feeling always is that really good literature meets them where they are and introduces complex topics,” she said.

Spector also helped Williams’ students prepare for giving their heir presentation in front of the Rendells and representatives from Arcadia and the Constitution Center, before hundreds of their peers. Their presentation imagined a Goldilocks scenario where Goldilocks was in a foreign land.

She admitted that her nerves were greater than Williams’ students’ on the big day: “I was nervous – they weren’t.”

Williams’ pride was nearly overwhelming on that day. And even though her students were maybe a little too preoccupied with the fact that they didn’t get first place, they could tell, through their teachers’ reaction, that it was a big deal.

“I was just bowled over because I was so proud of them. And then they had a question and answer period, but they were really well-spoken, and they defended their position,” Williams said.

“At first I saw that they were a little disappointed that they got fourth place, but I was like ‘FOURTH PLACE! Yeah!’” Williams added. “When they saw that big check they kind of brightened up. And when they saw me almost crying.”

The students will receive a 27-title civics library with a DVD, plus, perhaps most exciting to the pupils, a medal for each student. Both Spector and Williams hope to keep their thirst for knowledge and civic excitement kinetic by introducing a mock trial exercise.

“We were talking about giving them some kind of mock trial experience,” Williams said. “With lawyers, jurors, presenting a case, bringing the law into the case and having a real judge hear the kids argue the case.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A worthwhile Trip An East Passyunk Crossing actor is tackling politics’ sway over families for a decorated play.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

M

atteo Scammell loves living a grounded existence, desiring experiences that fuse his focus on being creative with his enthusiasm for meeting likewise energetic figures. The 24-year-old is reveling in one such adventure as Trip Wyeth, the open-minded member of an often insular family for the Walnut Street Theatre’s production of “Other Desert Cities.”

“He’s sort of the one who wants to knit everyone together,” the resident of the 1000 block of McKean Street said from the playhouse of his character, whose relatives often succumb to bitter behavior based on political differences.

“He doesn’t have issues to purge and likes finding his way in the world.”

The East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant landed a role in the Pulitzer Prize-nominated drama due in large part to his successful turn as the title individual in 11th Hour Theatre Co.’s 2011 “Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson.” Having given dynamic performances for director Kate Galvin, he took her advice to audition for another politically-driven piece and is enjoying the results as she helms his executions a second time.

“He’s likely the one most equipped to cope with difficulties because he’s the youngest,” Scammell said of joining notable contributors like fellow East Passyunk Crossing dweller Krista Apple to deliver a script that includes the cloud of another kinsman’s passing. “He sees the lesser parts of people and has a pretty worldly perspective on remaining true to his identity while realizing that means making adjustments whenever necessary.”

In addressing a work set in ’04, the actor is asserting himself in an era where he feels politics has acquired a knack for tearing households apart and noted Jon Robin Baitz’s text balances its condemnation of conservatives and liberals to stress that ideologies should not overly influence identities. Portraying a well-adjusted young man, he realizes the importance of striving for moderation in a climate that often preaches the need for discussing differences yet settles for singling out similarities.

“I find politics interesting because it’s so important to our societal makeup,” Scammell said, adding “Other Desert Cities,” like “Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson,” features an analysis of values and the lengths to which one will go to preserve them, a practice that often alienates more so than it unites. “We have to be careful

of letting this, this, this, this and that define us, though. If nothing else, it’s great to hear people out.”

WHILE SCAMMELL ADVOCATES for vacillation within the political landscape, he has never wavered in believing the artistic world would grant him admission into its frequently-frustrating realm. The New Jersey native gained his introduction to that universe through his mother, a sculptor who encouraged him to experience ballet and theater instruction, tutelage that resonated immediately.

“I attended Princeton Latin Academy, which had an intense philosophy on our being engaged participants in the arts,” Scammell said of his pre-college days, where he learned to admire headmaster Francesco Perrulli’s message to “let your self out of yourself.”

Grateful to be gifted with comedic sensitivities, he felt himself blossoming and saw a stage career as a magnification of life and a spectacle to behold. Viewing the theater as an antidote to the inherent struggles involved in maturing, he loved the idea of conveying messages to willing ears both as a way to stimulate conversations on contemporary matters and to increase his connection with his and their aspirations.

“Maybe I’m not choosing the right

words, but I kind of feel as if I were made to do it,” he said of becoming a performer.

“It just seems my brain and my body are wired for this profession.”

With that duality guiding him, he enrolled at the University of the Arts, where he met with strife when struggling to gain traction in an acting class. He regrouped and summoned his innate passion to seek out opportunities to delight theatergoers in his adopted city.

“Philadelphia happened pretty quickly and has been good to me from the get-go,” Scammell said, highlighting scoring a role in The Wilma Theater’s “Our Class” shortly after his ’11 graduation as evidence.

“I’ve known plenty of people who’ve contemplated or explored other locations, but I don’t see any real reason to leave. I’m a Philadelphia actor.”

Along with the aforementioned assignments, the performer has assisted the Arden Theatre Co. as Wolfgang in “Cinderella,” New Paradise Laboratories as Kurt Cobain in “27” and Simpatico Theatre Project as the Queen of the Others in “The mEEp pROject” by South of South resident Ed Swidey. Each task, especially his duties in “Other Desert Cities,” has helped him to enhance his craft, which he defines as an endeavor to share and play

with energy.

“I want a relationship with the audience and love treating each day as a lesson to improve my delivery and my way of working on subtlety and theatricality,” Scammell said. “In a way, that’s made acting a job, but, yeah, I signed up for it, so I’m in it for the long haul.”

The talented figure has also yearned to explore his attraction to action by orchestrating a thriving music vocation, a calling he is crafting as a member of Red 40 and the Last Groovement, which he deems a “clown funk band.” Confessing that music has kept him striving for glory and distinction even more fervently than theater, Scammell loves having an extra pursuit to offer various perspectives on his progression through life and encourages everyone, especially his artistic brethren, to fall for numerous philosophies and investigate ample outlets for growth, a stance that essentially mimics Trip’s approach.

“I need to be diverse to survive,” Scammell, who foresees transforming his tunes into some sort of theater-situated show, said.

“That keeps me alive and curious.” SPR For tickets, visit walnutstreettheatre.org.

Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at Jefferson “People say weight-loss surgery makes a big difference in their lives. But what they don’t tell you is, it also makes a difference for everyone around them. For example, take my wife and three kids – 15, 13 and 9. For them, it’s meant fewer snacks and more exercise – as well as a whole new Dad. Today, I’m 140 pounds lighter. But the way it’s changed my life, that’s something you just can’t measure.”

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

An afternoon walk (Another in the columnist’s series about his parents, Eleanor and Pete. At the time this episode takes place, Eleanor is living in a nursing home in Center City and Pete has already been dead some 20 years).

I

t was a dazzling spring afternoon in Philadelphia. No time to be cooped up in a room in a nursing home. When you are confined to a wheelchair as Eleanor was, you had to wait and hope that someone would come by and take you for a walk. Luckily for Eleanor, her son was off from work that day and decided to visit and take her for a walk, or a ride as it were, in her wheelchair.

Nursing homes, even the nice ones, don’t smell so nice. No detergent has yet been invented that can remove the odor of lives lived too long. The food isn’t great either.

And there were definitely times when Eleanor needed a break from her roommate, whose lapses of memory sometimes annoyed her. With it all, Eleanor had adjusted quite nicely to her surroundings. She was quite social and liked to argue about current affairs. Her favorite target was President George W. Bush, a dim bulb if she ever saw one. Eleanor could be sharp tongued too. Her favorite expression when her son screwed up, which she felt was more often than not recently, was “God forgive me, Thomas, but you’re dumb.”

Thomas smiled. And God always seemed to forgive Eleanor.

Her son asked the nurse to get his mother’s wheelchair because he was going to take her for a nice afternoon walk around Logan Square. In truth, Eleanor preferred the old days when she could get around herself and not depend on anyone. She loved to roam along South Broad Street, and stop to get herself a coffee and muffin from her favorite store. She liked to hang out at a friendly funeral home, which she found not at all odd. She had all kinds of friends and liked to invite them back to the apartment, even though her overprotective son warned her against doing so.

The nurse brought the wheelchair and left it in the room while Eleanor chatted with her son, telling him how she argued with her husband in her dream last night.

Pete had died 20 years ago, but she was still angry with him because he died first, which Eleanor considered grounds for abandonment.

Her son helped her over to the wheel-

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m

chair, but as she proceeded to sit, he noticed the chair move slightly and realized that the lock was not on. He leaned forward to catch her as the wheelchair slipped away, and they both fell to the floor amidst her cries for help. The nurse and an attendant rushed into the room to find Eleanor lying on the floor with her son alongside her. When the nurse realized Eleanor was not hurt, she leaned over to pick her up and in so doing whispered in her son’s ear, “If you’re hurt, hide it from your mother.”

Her son was indeed hurt. He had a searing pain from his left thigh all the way down to his ankle, but he got himself off the floor. The nurse helped Eleanor into the wheelchair and said to her son, “Don’t disappoint her. Take her for that walk.”

With a great deal of pain (he later found out that he had injured his hamstring), he pushed the wheelchair out of the hospital into the bright sunshine.

The birds were chirping and traffic was heavy around the square. Limping as he pushed the wheelchair, he sought to assure himself that his mother was alright. She was, but he could tell she wasn’t thrilled with him at that moment. That was when he failed to clear the curb with the wheelchair. As the chair hit the curb, his mother almost rose up out of the chair and was nearly dumped on the sidewalk. In horror, he recovered just in time only to hear her say, “God forgive me, Thomas, but you’re trying to kill me!” Try as he might to convince her that he had no homicidal thoughts in mind and would make sure he was extra careful the rest of the way, she insisted on his taking her back to the nursing home. “Take me back before you kill me,” was what she said, with sarcasm rather than any trace of fear in her voice.

He limped back to the nursing home pushing the wheelchair. Eleanor seemed understandably content to be back. Her roommate questioned where she had been.

The woman was always petrified that his mother would request a transfer to another room. Eleanor really did like her roommate, but this was one of her impatient moments. She reminded her roommate that she had been gone fewer than 20 minutes.

Her roommate no longer had any sense of time, much like a pet who greets you the same way whether you’ve been gone six minutes or six months.

Once back, Eleanor was already conversing with her favorite nurse. She was offering the opinion that if they served her chicken one more night, she was going to start clucking. He limped off into the afternoon sun.

A week later he saw his mother’s doctor in the hallway of the nursing home. “I heard you tried to kill your mother,” he said. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Rebuilding their story ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

M

uch like “Wreck-It Ralph” before it, “The LEGO Movie” is a mashup of the old and the new, the lowtech and the high-tech, depicting a CG-rendering of a pastime that’s antiquated when compared to modern animation.

Whereas “Wreck-It Ralph” showed how far we’ve come with computerized imagery, “The LEGO Movie” is a self-reflexive vision of world-building, in which we watch blocks assemble and disassemble as if we’re watching the animators craft this project piece by piece (and pixel by pixel). It’s a nifty, novel experience, and one strong enough, on its own, to warrant recommendation of the film.

It’s unfortunate, however, that the movie’s entire plot is essentially lifted from “The Matrix,” a criticism that seems silly in the wake of so many “Matrix” ripoffs, but really can’t go unvoiced. Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) is a construction worker with the same grind as every other drone-like being in his LEGO city, until he’s plucked from his realm by a blackclad she-warrior named Wyldstyle (voiced

by Elizabeth Banks), who brings him to Vitruvius (voiced by Morgan Freeman), a powerful sage who declares Emmet the savior-like “Special.”

There’s little need to elaborate further on the ample “Matrix” parallels, but let’s just say that, in some respects, writerdirectors Phil Lord and Chris Miller may fool viewers into thinking they’ve made a “Spaceballs”-style spoof. To enjoy the film, it’s better to focus on all the pieces, so to speak, that the makers have stacked atop their shopworn plot.

It’s a visual trip to devour the details of the LEGO universe’s realms, like the craggy cliffs of “The Old West” (which is denoted by a sign that hangs in the air), and the castles of “Middle Zealand,” a place that tips its hat to “The Lord of the Rings.”

The realms are each based on LEGO playsets, ya see, and a final twist, though possibly too mind-bending for its own good, further links the narrative to the real world and instills it with humanity. One might say it all clicks together.

Recommended Rental All Is Lost PG-13 Available Tuesday

Robert Redford may have been snubbed by the Academy, but that doesn’t mean his near-wordless turn in the minimalistic “All Is Lost” suddenly isn’t worth your time.

The Hollywood veteran, along with his gifted director, J.C. Chandor, keeps one surprisingly riveted in a film that involves nothing more than a man and a sinking boat in the middle of the ocean. It’s a taught, succinct survival story highlighting the myriad dangers of loneliness. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Christina’s Pasta Salad

Two-week special

T

he first lady of weather is cooking up a fresh batch of her getting-very-stale white stuff to share with some of her southern neighbors this weekend. It means another emergency trip to the supermarket, and likely another round of clearing the sidewalk. By the time those tasks are completed, cooking becomes an afterthought, and the delivery service on speed dial quickly resolves the problem.

Christina Pullo, of the 2500 block of South 10th Street, shares her nonexhausting Pasta Salad recipe for which only one ingredient requires cooking. With the dressed-up mixture needing cooling time, it could be sitting there waiting for when that post-cleanup hunger strikes. SPR

INGREDIENTS:

K

ermit’s Bake Shoppe, 2204 Washington Ave., is offering chef Brian Lofink’s 18-inch General Tso’s Chicken Pizza through Feb. 14 —the end of the 15-day Lunar New Year. This item pays homage to the Chinese New Year, as food typically serves as a central ingredient to the festivals. The $20 pie is made with a white wheat crust while the sauce consists of a mixture of hoisin, ginger, garlic, shallot, Thai chili and orange zest.

For more information, call 267-639-4267 or visit kermitsbakeshoppe.com. SPR

Pennsport’s Pho Saigon offers Philadelphians a sampling of authentic Vietnamese street food.

S ta f f P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

began to slurp noodles and hearty soup.

Edward had never tried rice noodles before, and he immediately liked the texture. The broth was lighter than the one used to make beef pho. Tender pork slices floated in the bowl along with small shrimp, which took on a nice slightly acid flavor when a good squeeze of lime was added to the bowl.

My pho was prepared with egg noodles and a hearty beef stock. The brisket was fatty, indeed, just like I prefer it. Brisket is a tough cut of beef, and must simmer for a long time. Whoever is in the kitchen at Pho Saigon knows how to cook brisket. I suspect the rare steak, which was sliced thin for easy enjoyment, was eye round, and it too was tender. I added everything but the hot peppers to my supper. = Very Good

= Extraordinary

Pho Saigon is a family restaurant where everyone can enjoy tasty nutritious food at really moderate prices. I don’t know how much it would run a family of four to eat burgers and fries at a fast food restaurant.

What I do know is a family can have lunch or dinner at Pho Saigon for less money.

I could eat here once a week. Now I want to try their rice vermicelli dishes.

She filled a big stockpot with marrow bones, ox tails, fatty brisket, spices and stock and allowed it to simmer for several hours. While the soup simmered, she explained the various vegetables that are a must with pho. Bean sprouts, sliced jalapeño peppers, mint, basil and lime wedges are offered on a separate plate so guests can help themselves.

Pho is street food in Vietnam. There is a myriad of ingredients that can go into the pot. Every chef and housewife have their own versions.

Stewart’s creation made me hungry for pho. My favorite Vietnamese restaurants are Le Viet and my old friend Nam Phuong. In fact, we no longer go to Chinatown on Christmas Day. We go to Nam Phuong. I recalled seeing a Vietnamese restaurant on Columbus Boulevard. After doing some culinary sleuthing on the Internet, I found Pho Saigon.

Edward and I were greeted with a smile and were shown to a table by the window.

The large, airy restaurant is a brightly lit room, and the servers answer questions with ease. Pho Saigon was filled to capacity with a marvelous cross-section of humanity: families with children; dozens of twenty-somethings; couples; and four women who brought a bottle of wine. It is BYOB. Unlike Le Viet and Nam Phuong, Pho Saigon is truly a pho restaurant. One will not find grilled beef or pork dishes or fish although there are a few shrimp items on the menu. What one will find is tasty food

at downright moderate prices.

Our server brought us a pot of hot tea and made some suggestions. Edward and I wanted to sample some cool rolls rather than spring rolls.

We began dinner with summer rolls with shrimp and pork ($3.75), barbecued pork rolls ($4) and grilled ground pork rolls ($4).

I have sampled summer rolls in numerous Vietnamese restaurants. Pho Saigon’s were larger than usual and quite plump.

They were filled with vermicelli, shrimp, a basil leaf and seasoned pork that played off well with the other ingredients. I never tried the other rolls until now. We enjoyed the slightly smoky flavor or the barbecued pork in one and the grilled ground pork in the other. Dishes of peanut sauce with chopped peanuts and a dish of fish sauce came with our appetizers. Two rolls come with each order.

Noodles soups and pho are the stars of the menu although there are bun or rice vermicelli dishes as well. The soups are available in small or large sizes, which is one fine idea. I noticed many women and kids enjoying the small versions.

Edward ordered rice noodle soup with shrimp and pork ($7.50 small, $8.50 large) while I finally decided on the pho with fat brisket and rare steak ($6.90) small, $7.90 large.)

Our server brought us a platter of bean sprouts, sliced green jalapeño peppers, lime wedges, fresh mint, basil and purple Thai basil. I took one look at the small version and could not believe it was deemed small. It was a meal in a bowl.

We helped ourselves to Asian soup spoons from the condiments container and

Breezy’s Cafe’s Vegan Thai Coconut Soup

E

ager to help his Point Breeze neighborhood to evolve as a culinary and communal haven, Fred Muser became one of the first customers when

Chef Fred Muser

Breezy’s Cafe Owners: Scott Harnish and Kristin Wolak Opened: March 2013 1200 Point Breeze Ave. 267-858-4186 breezyscafephilly.com

Breezy’s Cafe debuted last March on 20th and Reed streets. So enamored with owners Scott Harnish and Kristin Wolak’s preference for proffering provisions involving fair trade, local and organic products, he decided to join the eatery, now located at 1200 Point Breeze Ave., as its chef.

“I wanted to do something bigger, and this area possesses so much potential, so I felt I could be a good fit,” the 32-year-old resident of the 2100 block of Tasker Street said of adding service at the 40-seat site to his resumé, which includes a six-year stint at Center City’s Kanella.

“I’ve really enjoyed growing as a professional here, and I’m looking forward to continuing to give our diners numerous options.”

With his mother as an inspiration, the New Jersey native furthered his fascination with food by attending The Art Institute of Philadelphia, graduating in 2008.

Counting sandwiches and soups among his specialties, Muser has

pleased patrons with his creativity and receptivity to novelty, as his Vegan Thai Coconut Soup proves.

“I’m definitely a meat eater, but it’s great to experiment with vegan ingredients,” he said. “I was a little skeptical of the texture of seitan at first, but with more practice, I think I’ve become more adept with using it.”

As Mother Nature appears fervent about continuing to dole out tough love through frigid temperatures and snowstorms, soup figures to be the remedy to monotony for many bone-chilled customers, and Muser, who noted tofu can replace seitan in this recipe, will be ready.

“It has been great to go from customer to worker,” he said.

“I’m doing my best to present top-notch products.”

INGREDIENTS: 2 8-ounce packages of seitan, diced small 2 jalapeño peppers, with seeds removed and sliced thinly

6 garlic gloves, sliced thinly 1 small piece of ginger, peeled and sliced thinly 2 bunches of scallions, chopped finely 1 green bell pepper, chopped finely 4 13.5-ounce cans of unsweetened coconut milk Water, as needed to cover 1 bag of fresh bean sprouts Soy sauce and lime juice, to taste 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped roughly, reserving some whole leaves for garnish

S ta f f P h o t o s b y K at h r y n P o o l e

DIRECTIONS: Add all ingredients, except for the bean sprouts, soy sauce, lime juice and cilantro, to a mediumsized pot. Simmer on low for three hours until seitan and peppers become tender.

Season to taste with soy sauce and lime juice. Garnish the finished product with the cilantro leaves and fresh bean sprouts. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php it’s been a plus to have seven guys, many who’ve contributed to the team their whole time at Wood, being a big part of my first year,” Mosco said. “I’m ready to get the ball thrown up in the air and expect us to give our all.”

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

U

pon accepting the boys’ varsity basketball coaching position at Archbishop Wood High School in August, John Mosco immediately imagined bringing to the Warminster site a culture akin to that of Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., where he had helped to transform the Saints into a national powerhouse. Hoping to prove his players’ receptivity to his message and to make the Vikings’ playoff picture look glossier, the eager leader will oversee his rst game against the East Passyunk Crossing-based behemoths tomorrow.

“I feel they’re the best team in the league, so that in itself is enough to prepare for,” the 48-year-old product of the 1700 block of Fernon Street said Sunday shortly before his charges traveled to Drexel Hill to throttle Bonner-Prendergast High School 70-42 for their 11th overall victory and seventh Catholic League triumph. “It’s going to be an emotional night, and I’m looking for it to be a great opportunity for us to continue to show we can compete at the highest level.”

The Point Breeze native, who resides in the Northeast with wife Diane and their sons, John III and Nicholas, joined the Bucks County institution because he felt it would serve as a great spot to take chances, meet challenges and engineer a program that, like Neumann-Goretti, the five-time defending league champion, could become a perennial contender. Having applied for the same duties at Father Judge High School four years ago, he has come to appreciate even more his knack for nurturing youths.

“I have to say that I never really wanted to leave,” Mosco said of having parted with longtime friend and varsity coach Carl Arrigale, of the 2900 block of South 15th Street, with whom he shared numerous insights and hundreds of wins in his roles as the junior varsity head man and consummate assistant. “The administration, from [president] John Murawski to [former athletic director] Pat DiPilla and many others, was so enthused about helping everyone to grow scholastically and athletically. That’s a huge part of the mentality here, and I enjoy being among people who think that way, too.”

When pondering acquiring a head coach-

ing job, Mosco never thought of forsaking the Catholic League because of its stellar reputation for producing great competitors and greater senses of an all-in mindset.

Based on his background and allegiance to preparedness, he encountered little difficulty in putting his wits up against those of other likewise passionate mentors.

“I thought I’d do well with the kids because I knew I’d make it pretty obvious early on that I care,” Mosco said of his summer arrival. “They have to know you care. As long as they know that, they’re going to trust you and believe in what you’re selling.”

Just as in his Neumann-Goretti days, the tenacious teacher devised a difficult nonleague slate that included Dec. 28’s trek to Boston for a Shooting Touch Shootout

matchup against Maryland’s DeMatha Catholic and Dec. 30’s trip to the Wildwoods Convention Center for a Boardwalk Classic Showcase tilt versus Wildwood Catholic. Emerging with a 3-5 mark, they opened their parochial schedule Jan. 6 in Springfield, drilling host Cardinal O’Hara 66-36. The Vikings would assail four more league foes before dropping their next two contests by a combined four points.

They have fallen in their last two marquee games, suffering double-digit losses to Archbishop Carroll and Roman Catholic.

Those setbacks have endowed tomorrow’s affair with additional intrigue, as the regular season ends Sunday, and every game influences the postseason process.

“Along with what the game will mean for me, it’s going to be senior night, and

IN ADDITION TO calling himself an exemployee of Neumann-Goretti, the motivation molder proudly bears the title of alumnus, graduating in 1983 when the facility was dubbed St. John Neumann High School and educated learners at 2600 Moore St. Fond of various sports as a boy, he developed more awareness of basketball and football when coaching for St. Monica School, 2500 S. 16th St. Having known Arrigale since childhood, he intensified his friend’s commitment to committing players to excellence 18 years ago, eventually snaring the junior varsity coach post, a nine-season endeavor that yielded his assistant stint.

“We gained a great profile there, and I’m thankful for all the experience I got under Carl and the chances I had to help some fantastic players,” Mosco said of his South Philly sojourn. “When I came to Wood, I really believed that along with having the same sort of athletic clubs that I was a part of there, we could also believe we could stand out among very talented teams.”

With Neumann-Goretti and last year’s league runner-up, St. Joe’s Prep, as their final battles, the Vikings would love to secure a high seed for next week’s playoff rounds. Because of the emotions and the significance of when they will duel with the Saints, Mosco knows a victory would resonate but also realizes the season finale has similar importance and will likely engender a playoff atmosphere, too.

“I have tried not to get too far ahead in thinking about facing them,” he said. “After Bonner-Prendie, they’re our next game, so my focus will quickly shift. I look forward to it, most definitely.”

Win or lose, shaking hands with Arrigale and his colleague’s players, many whom he has known for years, will present a chance for him to intensify his basketball fraternity. If his Vikings shoot lights out, the PECO employee will be beaming.

“I hope we pull it off,” Mosco said.
