alking around the blocks that neighbor the intersection of Fifth and Bainbridge streets, there are pretty much three answers to the question “Have you heard about the hotel that’s coming?” They are: “What hotel?,” “Yeah, the yuppies

are coming” and “It’s going to be great.” Despite the business deathtrap that seems to inhabit the southwest corner of the intersection (former home to Adsum, Tapestry, Coquette and a Thai place), developer Ilan Zaken sees potential in a sizable chunk of real estate across the street. “When these buildings became available, I did not initially see the opportunity for the hotel concept,” Zaken said. “It evolved when I saw that there

was a definite need for a neighborhood-oriented boutique hotel which was intimate and reasonably priced with a good restaurant for the corner location. The remainder of the Fifth Street properties will be retail on the ground floor with apartments above.” When John C. Paul initially invested in a headSee BOUTIQUE HOTEL page 10 >>

Word on the Street What do you think of the School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to take away part of studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spring break to make up for snow days this year?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I disagree with their decision because it takes away from their family time. Downtime is just as important as work time.â&#x20AC;? Doyle Campagnini, 18th and Wharton streets

Recovery plans To the Editor: Does any argument remain about all of the downed power lines, the broken water mains and gas exploding around us and the havoc inflicted on thousands? Neglect and misplaced priorities from our blind-sided leaders remain glaring and so obvious that it cannot be denied or disputed. Even our railways have gone straight to hell with train derailing, crashing and causing partial bridge collapses. There is the spilling of dangerous chemicals and the added necessity of evacuations and displacement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention the loss of human life. There is no way that the snow, ice storms, heavy rains, hurricanes and floods are going to leave us anytime soon. But right now, lots of good can be realized because all of this calamity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful chance to get our econ-

omy perking again. We can put thousands of our hurting masses back to work by rebuilding or repairing bridges, highways, water and gas mains and pipes. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put all of our overhead wires in underground containers, creating waterproof conditions. We just cannot wait any longer to do what has to be and should have been done a long time ago. I have been writing and complaining for years of what I saw coming and is happening around us nationwide. You cannot expect to change Mother Nature, but we can wage one heck of a battle on the carnage and mayhem she is handing us. Here it is being given to us, the chance to put people back to work and help put our sad economy back on track. I pray that our leaders see and siege this opportunity by stepping out from their cocoon. We are

all watching and waiting. To placate and deride us is still the code they have gotten away with for far too long. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you love what they are doing to the people and our country, the richest country in the world? For whom I might ask? Certainly not for most of us. Only for the filthy rich who have forgotten all of us. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

Telling the story To the Editor: Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful piece about Puentes (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ironâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bridges,â&#x20AC;? Feb. 13). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really good, I mean that sincerely! Over the past few years working with Puentes, I have spoken with many reporters who produced decent but surface-level articles about the organization and what it does. The one you wrote is by far the most insightful and thoughtful articles about Puentes that I have read (even tops the recent New York Times one, which struggled to get beyond the what to the why,

South PhillyReview and also misquoted me!). You obviously took the time and had the interest to understand the subtleties and meaning behind what we do and why. I really, really appreciate that. Again, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been disappointed so often by stories like this and yours really captures what we are all about. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome. Thank you, sincerely, for your interest and hard work on this. If this article is consistent with your work as a journalist (which I bet it is), I think you have a promising career ahead. Wishing you all the best. Thanks again for your good work. D. Daphne Owen Puentes advisor Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

unday morning, five days after he suffered a puncture to the heart, 14-year-old Azim Chaplin died at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Officer Tanya Little of Police Public Affairs said. Police had responded to a report of a stabbing on the 2100 block of Watkins Street at 8 p.m. Feb. 11, observing the youth on the 1700 block of South 22nd Street with a Amber wound to the chest. Hellesten Upon his arrival at the medical facility, doctors immediately took the victim to surgery. Law enforcement agents, who heard from witnesses that 15-year-old Amber Hellesten had stabbed Azim with a knife during an argument before running off with another unknown female, arrested the resident of the 2000 block of Sigel Street that night at her abode, Little said. Authorities will try the girl as an adult, with Little adding that they could change the charge from attempted murder to murder based on a medical examiner’s report.

Navy Yard blaze A fire in The Philadelphia Navy Yard left one worker injured last week. Around 7:30 a.m. Feb. 12, a crane caught fire at the Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, 2100 Kitty Hawk Ave., with Philadelphia Fire Department Capt. Clifford Gilliam saying the incident started within the device. An employee suffered severe burns and received transport to the Crozer-Chester Medical Center. No details have emerged on what caused the blaze, which firefighters brought under control nearly an hour after it originated.

Unlucky occasion Four patrons of an East Passyunk Crossing bar became robbery victims Saturday. Following their departure from Lucky 13 Bar, 1820 S. 13th St., at 2 a.m., the complainants walked westbound on Mifflin Street when an unknown male approached them from behind, eventually moving in front of them to demand their belongings, which he did by sticking his hand in his pocket to simulate the pos-

session of a weapon, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After handing over their items, they realized a second foreign man standing behind them. The second stranger asked the first for something, with the complainants stating the latter removed a black gun from his waistband and gave it to the former before the two walked westbound on Mifflin Street from 13th Street. They described the men as black, 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-9, 18 to 20 years old; having thin builds and wearing zippered hoodies. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Popular eatery burglarized The Bainbridge Street Barrel House, 625-27 S. Sixth St., became a burglar’s playground Monday. At 6:10 a.m., police arrived at the Bella Vista establishment and found its front door’s glass shattered, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Finding no one on the premises, they and the proprietor observed a cash register missing, with the computer monitor for the holder broken on the floor and a coin tray that they believe came from the register discovered on the 600 block of Kater Street. The owner said someone had taken a key to the front door, too. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

A saucy move Another Bella Vista experienced a similar incident Monday. Authorities arrived at Santucci’s Pizza, 901 S. 10th St., at 1:26 a.m. and observed the front door shattered and a black cash register resting on a pile of snow adjacent to the site, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A walkthrough found nobody within the establishment, but video surveillance depicted a male heaving a brick through the door, then entering to grab the register. The footage could not determine his race, Tolliver said, but it did show he had a beard, wore a heavy hoodie, eyeglasses and gloves and stood between 5-foot-10 and 5-foot-11.

Duo invades home

Shattered dream A Bella Vista eatery will need to replace a glass door after a would-be burglar destroyed it Friday. Upon arriving at Sam’s Morning Glory, 735 S. 10th St., at 11:40 p.m., authorities heard an audible alarm activated and noticed the side door glass shattered and a brick in the building, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They cleared the building and awaited the arrival of a key holder/business manager. That figure noticed nothing was missing from the establishment but relayed someone had tampered with the cash register. A neighbor revealed he had heard glass break and soon saw a black man wearing dark clothing exiting the site and using a black bike to flee, with his last glimpse coming on the 700 block of Delhi Street. He added, Tolliver said, that he is in his early 30s, 6 foot and 170 pounds; having a medium build and wearing dark clothing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Alleged thief captured

POLICE REPORT

Authorities on Tuesday announced the Jan. 8 arrest of 18-year-old Kenneth Rogers, of North Philly, for his alleged robbery of a Marconi East business. In the matter, the complainant stated he was ringing up items for a patron of City News and Tobacco, 2655 S. Franklin St., at 12:14 p.m. Dec. 2 when the prospective purchaser Kenneth jumped over the counRogers ter and started to fight him, police said. Knocking the worker to the ground, he took approximately $300 from the register before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction. He awaits his formal arraignment today on robbery and related charges.

Surveillance videos

Failing after falling A man could not prevent becoming the victim for two robbers in South of South Friday. The complainant met with authorities at 7:12 p.m. on the 700 block of South Colorado Street and told them two unknown men had approached him. He developed bad feelings about the two as he talked on his cell phone, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, and determined to run from the area. Upon making that decision, he fell to the ground and dropped his cell phone, with the first offender standing in front of him to retrieve the gadget. As he did so, the handle of a firearm tucked into his pants became visible to the victim, who parted with his wallet thanks to the other figure, Tolliver said. They fled right after, last seen heading southbound on Colorado Street. The complainant described them as black, with the first 6 foot, 20 to 25 years old, having a thin build and a handgun and wearing a black hoodie, a wool cap and jeans; and the second as 5-foot-10, 20 to 25 years old, having a medium build and a beard and wearing a black hoodie.

Two men pulled off a home invasion in Dickinson Square West Friday. At 12:20 p.m., police met with residents of a 400-block-of-Wharton-Street home and learned the female occupant had answered her doorbell and had a silver handgun pointed at her chest, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The male dweller heard a scream and ventured downstairs, where the intruder barked “Give me your money, or I’m going to shoot you.” As the latter occupant went to retrieve cash, another offender punched him several times in the head. The first aggressor demanded that the two inhabitants move to a first-floor bathroom to enable them to flee with approximately $6,000 cash, a Louis Vuitton bag of an undetermined value and a black safe containing roughly $7,000, Tolliver said. The first complainant suffered no injuries, with the second refusing medical treatment for a bruise on the left side of his head and ear. They described the first man as black, 5-foot-9, in his 20s and 190 pounds; having light skin, carrying a silver handgun and wearing a black hoody over his head, a black hat and black pants. The second was white, 5-foot-6, in his 20s and 150 pounds and wearing a black hoodie, black track pants, a black cloth to cover his face and gloves.

Guerilla comedians in Passyunk Square South Philly comics ﬁnd two new home bases to triumph with laughs and bombs. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

n a brutally cold and snowy Saturday afternoon at the corner of East Passyunk Avenue and Dickinson Street, a group of about a dozen comics convened on the sidewalk to tell jokes. The Free For All Comedy team, assembled by Aaron Hertzog and Alison Zeidman last summer, was there to promote a renewed comedic presence in South Philly with an upcoming showcase at Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St. As more snow fell on the weeks of accumulated snow and ice, one-by-one comics received three minutes with a children’s microphone to make strangers laugh. As neighbors bundled up and trudged to work, to ACME, 1400 E. Passyunk Ave., or to the neighboring B2, 1500 E. Passyunk Ave., and Pub on Passyunk East (P.O.P.E.), 1501 E. Passyunk Ave., Zeidman did her best to engage with passers-by and hand out flyers for their show on Feb. 26. This winter marks the arrival of Free For All’s residence in South Philly after a stint at Rembrandt’s in Fairmount. Not only have the constituents made a connection to Boot & Saddle on Broad, but they’re about to embark on a regular presence at Bella Vista’s Growler’s Bar, 736 S. Eighth St. “We started looking for a new venue and reached out to Boot & Saddle, where we’ll be doing a really big showcase with some of the best comics in Philly,” Zeidman, a resident of the 700 block of South Seventh Street, said. “We’re also starting a new free weekly showcase and open mic at Growler’s every Wednesday at 8 p.m.” The 26-year-old South Jersey native and Policy & Community Engagement Manager for the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance loves Philly, but hasn’t been so keen on the lack of comedy. But the PR stunt that she, Hertzog, and a rag-tag group of comedians pulled off last weekend was a step in the right direction. The weather and cold didn’t really do them any favors, but some neighbors who live above the P.O.P.E. and a few others stopped for a few minutes to see why about 20 people were standing around folks talking into a bright plastic children’s microphone amp. “I can’t say I can really fault anyone for not sticking around,” Trevor Cunnion, a 25-year-old who calls Broad and Morris streets home, said. “Plus, the people who

Kate Banford told jokes in the cold to fellow Free For All Comedians and lucky neighbors listening from their windows or heading to pick up groceries. hated it just made it funnier for the rest of us, so it worked out.” The Collingswood, N.J. native moved back to Philadelphia after attending the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he studied film and screenwriting. “I’ve definitely enjoyed my time here so far. There’s a lot of good bars that are walking distance from my house, and the deli on my corner makes fantastic sandwiches,” Cunnion said. Sometimes it’s the little things. THE YOUNG BOOT & Saddle is a venue just below Washington Avenue that’s really picking up steam. The bar and performance space opened its doors after extensive renovations last September, and Zeidman and company are excited to explore its comedic potential. “As far as I know, we’re their first comedy show,” Zeidman commented. “We’re definitely psyched about it – the line-up is some of our favorite comics and best buds, and we think doing a show at a ‘legit’ venue will be a great way to expose new audiences to the local Philly comic scene.” Of course, not all comics become success stories. As all of the comics proved, one must push through the bombs and revel in the laughs when they come. And the more comedy one performs, the better he or she

S ta f f P h o t o b y B i l l C h e n e v e r t

gets with timing and joke telling. Mike Logan, a 25-year-old resident of the 1200 block of 12th Street, has been a comedian for about four years (“off and on,” he says). “You’re on a street corner at three in the afternoon, and it’s snowing,” he explained. “There have been better places to perform stand up. Unfortunately, bombing is part of the art. You have to learn how to bomb gracefully. Sometimes the new jokes you wrote really suck. Sometimes the great jokes you have just aren’t well received by the crowd you’re performing for.” The comic content was understandably crass. There’s a tradition of shock humor that runs through comedy, but as the comics we spoke to mentioned, it doesn’t have to be like that. “Lots of comics will give you that old line ‘Comedy = Tragedy + Time,’” Logan said. “I guess it’s true, but not in the way some guys do it. I’m not a fan of shock humor. I like genuine laughs more than I like oh-nohe-didn’t’s. I like goofy people that make fun of everything.” “Jokes that are shocking for the sake of being shocking don’t interest me much,”

Cunnion, who also provides customer support for a CD manufacturer, said. “I feel like most times when the jokes make people go ‘Ugh, too soon,’ it’s not going to be funny 10 years from now, either.” Adobe Café, 1919 E. Passyunk Ave., and Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar, 1200 E. Passyunk Ave., were listed as considerable epicenters of South Philly comedy by Logan and Cunnion. And now, it seems, Growler’s and Boot & Saddle could be added to that stable. And there is potential for future “geurilla” stand up moments on East Passyunk Avenue, as long as weather cooperates. Zeidman points out that their Twitter handle (@freeforallcmdy) is the best place to look for surprise stand up and for local comics to sign up and get in on the jokes. For some of these comics, drawing a laugh has seemed like a lifelong goal. “I’ve realized lately that it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do; to be funny,” Logan admitted. “I remember writing a set list when I was like 9. The jokes were about the news and macaroni and cheese. They were probably terrible. But comedy is this beautiful uniting thing that I think gets overlooked as a real art form.” SPR

Branching out

BOUTIQUE HOTEL continued from page 1 quarters for his bag business, this neighborhood was drastically different. In fact, when the structure at 632 S. Fifth Street was built in 1920, the address where Paul & Sons operated a paper company for almost a century, the nearly 3,900-square-foot property likely sold for four figures. Zaken spent $2.2 million two Octobers ago and plans to convert the listless corner into an attractive mixed use site. One can imagine that when the inheritors of a dying business in Queen Village decided they didn’t want to keep it alive, there was plenty of incentive to sell. “I suspect the previous owner bought the property for a few thousand dollars decades ago,” Michael Hauptman, an architect and the chair of the Queen Village zoning committee, said. “$2.2 million must have looked pretty good.” To some area residents and business owners, this sale and large-scale rehabilitation is a sign of the times. Ground has already been broken on the Kater Street side of the property that will house 28 hotel rooms, five luxury residential apartments, and 7,000 square feet of first floor retail space. The ideal completion date is sometime this summer, but chances are there won’t be any guests, diners, or shoppers on the northwest corner of Fifth and Bainbridge streets until next spring or summer. What about a name? “My favorite right now is Zaken Boutique Hotel,” Zaken said. “We are now projecting for a 2015 spring or summer opening depending on the progress of the construction. We have been working on the adjacent properties and finalizing the plans for moving forward with construction full force once we are in agreement on the final look.” The developer is no stranger to the area. Zaken opened a retail clothing store on South Street in 1989 and has been invest-

ing in property for the past 15 years. Recent projects include Center City’s Cella Luxuria, which sells high-end furniture and accessories, and the Net, 501 South St., and 609 E. Passyunk Ave. Hauptman referenced the impending facelift the Bainbridge Green will receive and expressed confidence that the hotel will fit in quite nicely. “We do think it’s a big deal — a boutique hotel will be a great addition, and with the planning going on to upgrade and redesign Bainbridge Green, this development makes a great western anchor,” Hauptan said. JOE RUSSAKOFF AND his wife, Sharon, operate Mostly Books, 529 Bainbridge St. They opened, not in the same street, in ’95, and after a few relocations in the area, they’ve settled across the space from where they used to be (Five Virtues Accupuncture, 526 Bainbridge St.) and she’s not as excited as Zaken might be. “Personally, I hate the idea,” she said. “But professionally, it could be good for business. [They are] all retail and warehouses that were in the family, a few families. And older generations died and their kids don’t want to hold on to the property. If folks want to spend $2 million on a building, why not take it?” Although she may be hesitant about the impending changes, some said to be brought on by the presence of the Bainbridge Street Barrel House, 625-627 S. Sixth St., and its owners, the Fetfatzes family (namely the patriarch, Marinos), precious real estate in Queen Village has become desirable. Even if a giant overhaul is necessary. “That whole area, the Barrel House, the apartments being built in the old synagogue on Sixth Street, will be transformed,” Hauptman said. “We are all very excited about that block.” The Fetfatzes family were unavailable for comment despite multiple attempts at communication.

Unsurprisingly, Steve Jeffries of Precision Realty Group, who’s representing the leasing of the retail and restaurant spaces for his client, Zaken, is excited, too. “We’ve done a lot of work in Queen Village and Bella Vista, and we love that neighborhood,” Jeffries said. “I personally believe it’s hot for families and retail and we’re seeing more and more restaurateurs and operations wanting to open in this neighborhood.” A family business that’s been around as long as Paul & Sons, Mitchell Cohen’s Cohen & Co. Hardware, 615 E. Passyunk Ave., has endured the changes and stays alive to watch it all go down. Cohen’s seen South Street go from skid row to a touristfriendly commercial corridor. “I’ve been down here since I was a kid, and I’ve seen the change,” Cohen, a nearby Bella Vista resident, said. “All this stuff, all these restaurants opening up, it’s for the new crop of people. Fifteen, 20 years ago, there’d be no way a boutique hotel would open up down here.” Cohen remembers when houses cost $50,000. “It was only a matter of time,” he said. “All these young professionals are moving into the city.” Regarding the sale, he thinks “Why not, though? People like that do that, my hat’s off to them for putting money into it. It was for sale a couple years before it sold.” Precision will be doing their best not just to fill the retail and restaurant spaces, but curate them. And Jeffries has more than just a vision for who’ll be selling clothes or cocktails; he sees a vibrant corner with outdoor seating and great mixed use. “Our goal is to clean up the corner and improve the walkway,” he said. “We’re gonna talk to as many local retail companies as we can in regards to the property.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Well-versed victor An East Passyunk Crossing bard will enjoy a two-year term as the City’s second poet laureate. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

rank Sherlock shuns shouting for people to ponder poetry as a self-involved pursuit, believing verse must cause communities to converse. The resident of the 1000 block of Morris Street yearns for citizens to perk up their pens and energize their ears and will spend the next two years championing compositions as the City of Philadelphia’s second poet laureate. “I’m looking forward to engaging as many folks as possible in appreciating the art,” the 44-year-old said Friday at B2, 1500 E. Passyunk Ave., where he recently wrote his initial piece as the metropolis’ metrical maven, “Little Sensation (a Sochi Song).” “My focus will include stripping away notions that poetry is for a limited amount of people and am going to stress its inclusivity and collaborative elements.” The East Passyunk Crossing occupant accepted his accolade during a Jan. 31 City Hall ceremony, succeeding Sonia Sanchez, another touter of the evoca-

LIFESTYLES tive exchange between bards and neighborhoods. Acknowledging the area as an irrepressible contributor to his artistic maturation, he contends that inspiration abounds for all eager individuals and that practitioners of his craft must understand that despite any insular intentions, their output must consider copious groups to resonate. “We have to take poetry beyond the institution,” Sherlock, who will receive a $5,000 stipend during his tenure, said of estimations that all notable works come from stuffy scribes who publish in academic journals. “We’re all potential voices in the discussion of where poetry can go. If we’re aware of our possibilities, who’s to say what we can accomplish?” Enthused about enthusing all ages, the wordsmith, who learned in September of the competition to find Sanchez’s successor, won the title via his communitycentric body of work, with notification coming late last year. He will perform his duties with return trips to City Hall and appearances at the Free Library of Philadelphia and will go from the recipient of great news to the bearer of it by helping to select and mentor a youth poet laureate. “I was kind of shocked when the call came through but really excited about hav-

ing the opportunity,” Sherlock, who bested more than two dozen versifiers in earning admiration from the nine-member Poet Laureate Governing Committee, said. “I took a nap soon after and woke thinking ‘Did that really happen?’” From the stupor of uncertainty to the consciousness of responsibility, the writer, also a 2013 Pew Fellowship in the Arts for Literature designee, envisions a fruitful stint bearing stanzas that will strengthen his staunch appreciation for Philadelphia as the City of Otherly Love. That term signifies his stance that the urban setting wants to welcome anyone who can promote uniformity even where seemingly deal-ending differences appear. “The methods for information exchange have to change for real appreciation of our shared identity to occur,” Sherlock said. “I’m not looking to be a grand messenger, but I do want to convey that collaboration through poetry can give us comfort.” AN ESTEEMED EXECUTIONER of unifying sentiments, the Southwest Philly native came to poetry two decades ago with bare-bones knowledge of its heritage and no awareness of how it could compose his life’s journey.

ual,” validate the committee’s selection with their emphasis on unity and delving into the daily grind that often makes people feel distanced even from themselves. “I’ve said it before and it bears repeating,” Sherlock, winner of the ’12 Equinox Chapbook Award for “Very Different Animals,” said. “The real poetry is all around us. Who’s going to give it life?” He will continue to take up the task next month with the publication of “Space Between These Lines Not Dedicated” and will have his work translated into Spanish for an upcoming collection. Combining those accomplishments with his recent endowment, a planned trip to Argentina and Chile to promote his efforts and his “Write Your Block” project that should find him engaging South Philadelphians on discussing their neighborhoods, Sherlock has definitely morphed from one who initially considered poetry confusing to a man at the height of his perceptive powers. “People often speak about escaping Philadelphia when they ‘make it,’” he said. “I’m into helping other people to develop their own idea of making it.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, whom he had deemed a “badass” for addressing oppression in Russia and Chile, at the University of Pennsylvania, he knew he must pursue poetry not just as a passion but as a device to devise self-awareness and camaraderie. “I never felt as if I should keep it hidden,” he said of the belief that he could go from a fledgling thinker to a scrupulous scribe with an affinity for community. “I started to imagine the manifestations of poetry to see where I could fit in, and I discovered that no matter where you come from, you can be a powerful figure.” Having honed a well-respected body of work that reinforces that thinking, Sherlock confessed that he did not initially believe his projects would approach the register of Walt Whitman, another bearded bard to whom one could compare his poems because of the authors’ shared sense of seeing the individual as an irreplaceable cog in society’s machine. Loving his spell as a local seer, he has immersed himself in various publishing endeavors, including issuing “Neighbor Ballads” for the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program’s ’11 “Journeys South” brainchild.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Cuba

was reading a portion of Graham Greene’s old autobiography dealing with his visits to pre-Castro Cuba. No one mentions Cuba much anymore. Normalizing relations with Cuba has proved more difficult than making progress on same sexmarriage or legalizing marijuana. Part of it, of course, is that in the bizarre machinery of our electoral college, Florida rules supreme. And the older Cuban community still has enormous clout in deciding which party wins Florida and has a better chance of winning the White House. That demographic understandably hates Castro, so both of our political parties skirt the question of what to do about Cuba whenever they can. I think our problem with Cuba goes deeper even than politics. Prior to the Cuban Revolution, America was very cozy with Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. We have always had an easier time recognizing the horrors of dictatorships of the left than the right. During the Cold War, we were able to rationalize the horrific abuses under Batista and other right-wing dictators, seeing them as a bulwark against communism. The nighttime assassinations of the opposition, the torture and imprisonment of political opponents in pre-Castro Cuba all seemed OK so long as Batista allowed the Mob to profit off the casinos and United Fruit made its profit. The Kennedys’ obsession with Castro is legendary, and their sanctioned attempts to assassinate him border on farce — the exploding cigar, the wet suit impregnated with poisonous toxins, the attempt to use the Mob for the kill. I think Jack and Bobby’s crazy focus on Castro came about because his survival had embarrassed them at the ill-conceived Bay of Pigs. Even the fact, that after much wooing by America (a fact conveniently forgotten these days), Castro chose the Soviets over us (probably the dumbest decision he ever made). So many years have passed. Fidel is rarely seen these days in public, but even his very existence rubs us the wrong way. The Kennedy brothers are all gone, and Castro is still enjoying a good cigar. If we viewed Cuba logically, there is no longer a reason we treat it as a pariah among nations. Agreed that freedom in Cuba is not a top priority even with Raul Castro in power. It is not the romantic revolutionary paradise pictured by some apologists on the left. You can still disappear into a Cuban prison without due pro-

cess and never again be heard from. A progressive health and education system don’t change those facts, but only give you hope that someday Cuba will find a government worthy of its people -— not Castro or Batista. But if we can recognize China, why not Cuba? Why in order for Americans to travel to Cuba do they have restricted reasons for the trip? If Americans can freely travel to Vladimir Putin’s Russia, why the prohibition on similar travel to Castro’s Cuba? I think Cuba represents almost a metaphysical problem for us. Throughout our history during the Cold War, we not only looked the other way, but supported rightwing tyrants in the name of keeping the Soviets from expanding. We could never admit as much to the American people, so our leaders always couched our pact with terror by portraying us as being on the side of freedom. The notorious Contras weren’t sadistic killers and drug runners to Ronald Reagan; they were “freedom fighters.” At one time when Afghanistan fought off the Soviet invaders, we thought of Osama bin Laden as a “freedom fighter.” I once had a good friend, a conservative Republican, who explained to me that America chooses dictators on the right in preference to communists because in the end it is easier to bring about their fall — easier because the economic system hasn’t been compromised by communism. But how do we explain rooting for the fall of friendlyto-the U.S. right-wing dictators while at the same time propping them up? We gave arms to Batista to stave off revolution, but did we really want him to fail because it would be easier to bring freedom to Cuba? I don’t think we cared about Batista’s corruption so long as American business thrived. We believe in the myth of our idealism, but our foreign policy is deeply rooted in what we see as our self-interest. We intervened in Vietnam because of our mistaken belief in the Domino Theory. It was no different when the Soviet Union dissolved, and the Cold War has faded into history. We would make a pact with the Taliban and forget about what they do to women if we thought it would help keep terrorism from our shores. All governments put their own self-interest ahead of everything else. Sometimes one has to deal with the devil to defeat the devil. Except sometimes in dealing with the devil, one becomes the devil. We have made a lot of mistakes in pursuing our policy of realism. Sometimes we have supported evil, which in the end only begot more evil. Perhaps worse, we have lied to ourselves about our motives. Realism does not always have to be devoid of idealism, but finding the right balance has been difficult, and we have made our share of mistakes. And all the while, impudent Cuba stares at us from 90 miles away. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Nadia (Leem Lubany) is Omar’s (Adam Bakri) object of affection, for whom barriers both physical and political must be overcome.

Palestinian import ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

uch of the chatter about this year’s Foreign Language Oscar race is rightly centered on Paolo Sorrentino’s “The Great Beauty,” the lush Italian front-runner with florid photography and echoes of Fellini. On the grittier side of things is Hany Abu Assad’s nominee “Omar,” an underdog film from Palestine about the eponymous rebel (Adam Bakri) who finds himself caught between fighting oppression and serving as an informant for the prisonertorturing Israeli intelligence agency. The follow-up to Abu Assad’s controversial “Paradise Now,” “Omar” wears its politics on its sleeve while deeply exploring its hero’s tortured psyche. The film’s opening (and recurring) shot is baldly symbolic, with Omar climbing over a wall from one territory to another, as he visits his fellow Palestinian renegades, Tarek (Iyad Hoorani) and Amjad (Samer Bisharat), as well as Tarek’s sister, Nadia (Leem Lubany), whom Omar hopes to marry. With believable romance running straight down its center, “Omar” chronicles the impossible duality of being loyal to a native cause and being enslaved, sometimes literally, by draconian occupiers. Bakri’s contribution as Abu Assad’s lead proves utterly invaluable, as this largely unknown actor has magnetic, movie-star looks, which, rather than distract from his character’s plausibility, underscore the disfiguring, hideous physical hardships he endures. Bakri is also a fine, heartbreaking actor, who brings great weight to Omar’s struggles on the fronts of friendship, love, ideals and unspoken responsibility. On a technical level, Abu Assad often

stages dazzling chases through Palestinian streets, his camera whizzing down narrow alleys and tirelessly keeping up with Omar as he repeatedly evades Israeli officials on foot. It’s virtuoso guerilla cinematography. Still, “Omar” stumbles as it begins to dash toward its finale, with Abu Assad letting his adoration of cathartic, damn-the-man narratives trump the nuances of his story’s personal and cultural nuances. The viewer is left with the sense that this otherwise potently topical rock-and-a-hard-place film had an urge to be, in a word, “cool,” which, despite certain beliefs, is not synonymous with rebellious.

Sadly, if you missed “Gravity” on the big screen in Imax 3-D, you aren’t going to enjoy the full scope of Alfonso Cuarón’s jaw-dropping, game-changing creation. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still marvel at this gem of a space opera, which somehow manages to be both avant garde and populist at once. Anchored by an Oscar-nominated performance from Sandra Bullock, the movie is an existential survivalist trip, one that gets down to the bone marrow of being human.SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Jane’s Poor Man’s Scallopini

Coming soon

on’t fall out of the kitchen chair, but rumor has it that the Philadelphia area is in line for a spring teaser this week with temperatures soaring into the 50s. Some may want to defrost that package of hot dogs that have been stored away in the freezer, and toss them on the barbecue. OK, that might be getting a little carried away as the new season doesn’t officially begin until March 20. Roxborough resident Jane Lemerise offers up a tasty alternative for what to do with the franks: Make her Poor Man’s Scallopini. Forget about those buns. This dish calls for a nice loaf of Italian bread that will help soak up all of the sauce, and help one forget that there is still another month of winter remaining. SPR

INGREDIENTS:

hef Jeremy Nolen is teaming up with respected restaurateurs Doug and Kelly Hager to create Whetstone, a regionally-inspired restaurant and bar that will feature in-house pickling, fermenting, house-cured charcuterie and serve a wide range of rustic favorites. The new establishment at 700 S. Fifth St., is targeted for a summer opening. The trio has established themselves on the local scene with German restaurant Brauhaus Schmitz, 718 South St., and the Center City-based delicatessen Wursthaus Schmitz. SPR

DIRECTIONS:

1 package of hot dogs (preferably beef) 1 onion, diced 2 large red bell peppers 2 cloves of garlic, minced. 1 can of crushed tomatoes 1 teaspoon of dried basil Salt and pepper, to taste Oil for frying.

Sauté the peppers. When soft, add the onions and garlic, and stir-fry until soft. Cut up the hot dog, and fry until browned. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil. Continue cooking over a low ﬂame for about 30 minutes. Serve in a dish with the Italian bread.

Returning for seconds The chefs along the avenue are warming up their tasty plans for a week of special three-course offerings at 24 different establishments.

ast Passyunk Avenue recently gained some national notoriety thanks to Nick Elmi being crowned the Season 11 winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef.” His 22-seat BYOB Laurel, 1617 E. Passyunk Ave., is one of ve new East Passyunk Restaurant Week participants. Twenty-four establishments have checked in for this second go-around, taking place Feb. 23 through March 1, making the answer to the “where should we eat” dilemma more complex. The East Passyunk Restaurant Week site (eastpassyunkrestaurantweek.com) should serve as a helpful resource for reservation seekers as it breaks down the options in the $15, $25 and $35 price points. Laurel, which falls under the most expensive category, is doing a limited 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday engagement only. Several other participants also have limited seatings, but the information is easily assessable by clicking on the individual menus. Will BYOB, 1911 E. Passyunk Ave., is opening on Monday and Tuesday this year so more diners can enjoy the Restaurant Week menu while Noord, another newcomer at 1046 Tasker St., is adding a Tuesday seating — a night

the 38-seat establishment is typically closed. Other first-time participants include Lucky 13, 1820 S. 13th St., Karina’s Ristorante, 1520 E. Passyunk Ave., and Pub on Passyunk East, 1501 E. Passyunk Ave. Some restaurants also are offering free extras ranging from a free fourth-course dessert to a glass of wine and an afterdinner cordial. For those making last-minute plans, use the hashtag #EPRW to secure hard-to-get reservations, even weekends. As another added bonus, new Uber users will get a free ride (up to $20) during EPRW.

download the app and use the code PASSYUNKLOVE. The table is set for a week of endless expected-toplease-the-palate options. For those still having trouble deciding, there is no rule against making this a multinight experience. “With so many great choices and amazing new talent this year, you might even want to come back for seconds and thirds,” Renee Gilinger, executive director for the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, said.

of the muffins, but those South-American blues did little for the overall flavor. The bananas and walnuts work well together, so this muffin fared much better. There was not a dry bite to be found. My impression is that Chhaya Café (in the process of building a 55-seat space at 1817 E. Passyunk Ave.) has filled a muchneeded niche in the East Passyunk Crossing neighborhood. People were arriving for take-out coffee throughout brunch, as well as sit-down service. The waffle was disappointing because it was bland and undercooked. Another impression from = Very Good

ast week’s snow and bitter temperatures kept me in the kitchen for several hours each day. I simmered a big pot of meatballs, roasted a chicken, made chicken soup with the chicken bones and changed the salads and side dishes to keep mealtimes interesting. Finally, I had enough. A good case of cabin fever brought me out into the frozen tundra searching for a Sunday brunch place. Chhaya Café opened on East Passyunk several years ago. It is a quaint neighborhood coffee shop that takes its coffee seriously, offering espresso, lattes and everything in between, including a cup of good strong old-fashioned Joe ($3). The menu features waffles, sandwiches, eggs, pancakes, soup of the day, muffins and scones. There are five seats at the coffee bar along with simple tables and chairs in close quarters. I noticed a number of patrons busy on their laptops as they sipped their coffee. A bowl of kale and potato soup ($5) was served in an oversized café au lait cup. Shredded kale, cubes of red bliss potatoes, tiny bits of carrots and onions floated in a tasty homemade broth and warmed me immediately. Slices of baguette were just right for dipping. The waffle iron does double time serving as the griddle for French toast and sandwiches. I am very picky about waffles and know when a batter is made from scratch. When properly done, it walks a culinary tightrope between savory and slightly sweet. The thin waffles of my childhood are gone and have been replaced with the

thicker Belgian variety. The griddled goodie with fresh berries ($8) consisted of a blond, slightly bland waffle that arrived nice and hot. Pats of butter melted beautifully into the little squares, but I felt it could have spent a bit more time pressed on the iron. Authentic maple syrup is offered at Chhaya Café, which is always pleasing. Blueberries in the winter are flown in from Chile and lack the sweetness of our Jersey blues. They mingled with sliced strawberries and blackberries and added a bit of brightness. A side order of bacon ($3) consisted of two strips imparting a mediocre flavor. Good quality white bread forms the basis for a grilled ham and cheese sandwich ($9) that was on the small side. A slice or two of thin ham was layered with some cheddar and placed on the waffle iron to grill. The sandwich was buttery and toasty but would not fill up a hungry man. Some arugula leaves with strawberries came with the grilled cheese. Muffins and scones are served in most coffee shops, and I wanted to sample what Chhaya Café had to offer. Different flavors are baked in-house daily so I asked our server to pack a few to go. We have all tried those horrid rock hard scones that the U.S. Olympic hockey team could use as a puck to beat the Russians. I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I took a bite of the maple pecan scone ($2.75). It was flaky, rich with real maple flavor and the crunch of toasted pecans. I warmed it up and slathered on the butter. Muffins of the day ($2.50) were blueberry and banana walnut. I liked the texture

Laurel’s Fresh Ricotta Gnocchi

aurel arrived on the East Passyunk Crossing dining scene the first week of November, and things haven’t

slowed down since. Sure, there are the two nights a week chef/ owner Nicholas Elmi is closed, but his French/American BYO at 1617 E. Passyunk Ave., is one of the toughest reservations to land in the city. Elmi’s 22-seat eatery is currently booked for 11 weeks straight. “It’s a small, very personable restaurant,” the 33-year-old Collingswood, N.J. resident said. “I love the space, and love what we’ve done so far. I couldn’t be happier.” Elmi has established quite the national following as of late thanks to being crowned the Season 11 winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef.” Ironically, his first experience in the kitchen didn’t go so smoothly. “I started as a busboy, and I wasn’t very good at it so they threw me into the kitchen,” he recalled. The sudden passion for cooking led to the New England native enrolling at the Culinary Institute of America, and future jobs at once popular Center City

eateries, including Le-Bec Fin and Brasserie Perrier. Now with his own place on the booming avenue, Elmi and his fellow restauranters are gearing up for next week’s East Passyunk Restaurant Week. He is offering a limited 5:30 p.m. seating Monday and Tuesday with a special three-course $35 menu. One of his opening selections is a Fresh Ricotta Gnocchi. “It’s a very technical dish, but it comes off very simple,” he said.

INGREDIENTS: 1,000 grams of fresh ricotta 225 grams of the “00” ﬂour 7 egg yolks 22 grams of salt 15 grams of minced chives 4 ounces of pancetta, diced small 1 tablespoon of minced garlic 1 top parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 2 tablespoons of butter

Salt and black pepper, to taste Sourdough croutons, cooked in butter until crisp Some reserved cooking liquid from the gnocchi

DIRECTIONS: Paddle the ricotta until smooth in a kitchen aide. Slowly add the rest of the ingredients, mixing on low. Once the mixture is smooth, transfer to a piping bag and let rest for one hour. Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Cut off the tip of the piping bag, and over the water, pipe and cut out small dumplings of the

mixture. Let cook for two minutes, then remove and lay on a sheet tray to let cool. Sauté the pancetta until it renders out and becomes crispy. Add the garlic and sauté until browned. Deglaze with a splash of the cooking water. Add a few handfuls of the gnocchi, and warm slowly. Add the parsley and lemon juice. Season and emulsify with butter. Scoop into a bowl and garnish with the sourdough breadcrumbs. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

ing to dump Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., and their aforementioned parochial rival, with Riley returning an interception for a score and tallying another touchdown off a run in the holiday affair. “This year had so many highlights, but beating Neumann-Goretti was sweet, especially because we heard they expected to blow us out,” he said of downing the Saints for the first time since ’04. “It was great to end my career with that game. We knew early on, even after those first two losses, that we could be good, so we loved being able to prove it against them.” CELEBRATING A DECADE as a gridiron presence, Riley initially gravitated toward

Michael Riley followed coach Frank Natale from Edward Bok Technical High School to South Philadelphia High School, with impressive wins and accolades also accompanying them. P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y F r a n k N ata l e

Riley knew he could count on Natale for unwavering backing, as the two have always accented accountability. Having been a starting defensive back since his second game as a Bok Wildcat, he became the 2013 Readers’ Choice High School Coach of the Year’s quarterback during his junior year and anticipated hitting receivers in multiple manners as an ironman performer. Following this year’s 0-2 start, which included a 32-8 loss to Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., the Rams registered seven straight victories, including a 50-14 throttling of Fels that gave the program its first playoff win since 1965. They dropped their Class AAAA semifinal to Frankford before rebound-

Fond of its physicality, he joined local teams and picked Bok at the urging of friends who were helping to make the now-defunct East Passyunk Crossing spot a winner. “I don’t think I had huge expectations right away, but it didn’t take long for me to think that nobody should be starting over me,” he said of becoming a consummate courter of standout performances and victories. Both became his over his three seasons, one under DeFelice, formerly of Bella Vista, and the other two under Natale, with the Wildcats advancing to the City title game each year. Accustomed to success, he wondered what would happen with his move to the Rams, who had, before this campaign, suffered more butts than they had delivered. “I definitely wanted to bring the Bok mentality here,” Riley said of a mindset predicated upon wearing teams out with relentless play on both sides of the ball. “For the most part, that worked, and I had a great time mentoring some guys.” The influential figure shared the divisional MVP award with teammate and fellow West Philly-situated senior Mark Webb, giving the Rams additional sources of pride as Natale looks to use their success as motivation for their successors. The coach also will factor into the future to Riley, as he wishes to emulate the athletic director and chemistry instructor in his professional endeavors. “I’m thinking of going into education,” he said of his collegiate focus, which he will pursue at Lycoming or Ursinus College or Bloomsburg or Shippensburg University. “I’m thinking I would enjoy coaching, too, and if I do so, I want to coach like coach Natale.” Seeing each day as a chance to charm youngsters into believing in the rewards of hard work, he looks forward to his final four months as a student in South Philly and who-knows-how-many years as an eager pursuer of worldly knowledge. “I’m enthused about whatever awaits me,” Riley, who recently earned his first straight-A marking period, said, “because I’m not afraid to commit to my goals.” SPR

■ By Joseph Myers hen the School District of Philadelphia shuttered Edward Bok Technical High School, formerly 1901 S. Ninth St., in June, Michael Riley developed doubts about the scholastic and sporting integrity of his next stop, South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. Letting reality trump anxiety, the 18-year-old has enjoyed an enriching senior year at the Lower Moyamensing location, with his fortitude in the classroom and on the football field paying off last month when he received a Mini Max Award. “I feel honored to have the recognition,” the West Philly resident, one of 54 players from the Keystone State to earn kudos from the Maxwell Football Club, said Tuesday at his postsecondary education site. “It’s made me think of how I’ve evolved as a student and an athlete, and it’s made me very proud.” Nominator and coach Frank “Roscoe” Natale notified the astute pupil and player of his selection in November, the month in which the Rams completed their 9-3 campaign with a 33-6 Thanksgiving thumping of Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets. The inhabitant of the 1600 block of South Juniper Street has observed the young man’s maturation for nearly four years, with Riley grateful for every interaction. “I’m someone who wants to be vocal, who wants to be a leader, and the influence of coach Natale and [former Bok coach Tom] DeFelice has really helped me,” the teenager said. “I learned early on about how to be a solid player, but I also value the life lessons I picked up from them.” Riley has received great tutelage from his mother, Takia, as well, with his matriarch accompanying him Jan. 9 for the Drexel Hill-based ceremony. The youth has always prided himself on providing positivity to any situation, even when making the switch from Bok to Southern. “I wasn’t looking forward to it because of what I’d heard about the climate here,” he said. “However, when I got here, I saw that people are committed to making this place a really good school in all areas.”

im Fregosi, who managed the Philadelphia Phillies to the 1993 National League title, passed away on Friday morning. The 71-year-old suffered multiple strokes during a recent Major League Baseball alumni cruise. While many Phillies fans don’t have great memories of the ’93 season thanks to Joe Carter, the team still managed to win 97 games during that memorable run. Several former players, as well as other members from the Phillies family shared their respective condolences last week. Former closer and current MLB Network analyst Mitch Williams said Fregosi was the best manager he ever had the honor of playing for. “My career was less than spectacular, but would have even been more mediocre if not for Jim,” who saved 43 games during the ’93 season. “The word that defines him best is trust! He trusted everyone to do their jobs. I was a manager’s nightmare, but Jim trusted that I would get the job done. He made all his players better because his trust gave us confidence. “I loved Jimmy and his wife Joni. They both lived to be happy. I can’t express the

sorrow I feel for Joni, and Jimmy’s five kids. He was like a father to me, and I was just a player. I can only imagine the kind of father he was to his own kids.” Former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, who led the Phillies to the 2008 World Series title, also shared a close relationship with Fregosi. “Jimmy was a very good friend of mine. I loved talking baseball with him because we shared a lot of the same philosophies about the game, especially when it came to managing, and we both care deeply about the Phillies,” Manuel said. “I’m going to miss him and our fishing trips together.” Former relief pitcher and current radio analyst Larry Anderson also shared a close relationship with his former manager. “Playing for Jim Fregosi was like playing for your Dad, except he always claimed I was older than him,” Anderson said. “He was a tremendous manager and a huge reason the ’93 team was as good as it was. He will be sorely missed, and our thoughts and prayers go out to Joni and the kids” Besides the Phillies, Fregosi also managed the White Sox, Blue Jays and Angels. He spent 18 seasons as a player, 11 of them with the Angels. SPR
