Junk food for thought To the Editor: It seems that rules are set to go into effect next year to make foods around school campuses healthier. Under the new government rules, promotion of sugary drinks and junk food sold at schools around the country will be phased out. This includes vending machines and lunchroom lines in cafeterias. Apparently, under the new rules announced on Feb. 25 by the Obama Administration, scoreboards in high schools will have to advertise only healthy foods. This, ladies and gentleman, is what you call downright socialism. I thought we lived in a democracy where the government allowed business owners to run their own businesses without total government interference. But no, not under the current administration. This is their way of having control over everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. This is their

way of forcing/dictating how we should eat and drink. Sure, we still have options ... For now. What will be next? Additionally, the new socialist rules will increase costs for businesses who now have to revamp their soda machines, advertising, etc. And who pays for this at the end? Oh yes, the consumer. Look, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for healthy eating and watching what and how much you drink. However, I certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role to tell us what to eat and drink. Simply put, Obama wants to dictate, and he is in the wrong country for that. We live in a democracy. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leave personal decision matters up to ourselves. And for our children, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just leave that up to their parents to educate them. Rich DiGiacomo South Philadelphia

The big hope To the Editor: Over the last 10 years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dedicated my spare time to the fight against cancer. While progress is being made, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very concerned that it will be slowed. Over the last 10 days alone Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from close friends and family about the challenges the disease has dealt them. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very fortunate to live in a country with a health-care system that is regarded as the most innovative and technologically advanced in the world. Many have benefited from it, but many are yet to be reached. That reach, to a great extent, is impacted by cancer research funding, which our local representatives have an opportunity to impact. The success stories need to be replicated, but researchers at the National Cancer Institute and research centers throughout the country need funding to support their work. This funding is at risk. The NCI cannot withstand budget cuts anymore than we can continue

Tell us your thoughts

to watch our loved ones suffer. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking Congress to support cancer patients and their families by increasing funding for the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health. Reinvesting in the fight against this devastating disease will save lives and restore hope for millions of cancer patients and their families.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;family timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as an excuse for the scheduled spring break. Too many interruptions are not conducive to good, consistent learning. This should be a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;teachable momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: rules are to be followed, unless harmful. Certainly, fulfilling the school calendar is NOT harmful.â&#x20AC;?

NO CRIMPING THE KRIMPET: Beloved mascot Kirbee the Krimpet helped the Tasty Baking Co. to celebrate its 100th anniversary Tuesday with events at its Philadelphia Navy Yard facility, 4300 S. 26th St. The afternoon celebration featured the introduction of a limited edition Birthday Kake Cupcake and the delivery of goodies to ďŹ rst responders and charities, including Philabundance, 3616 S.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four thoughts come to mind after reading this (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cuba,â&#x20AC;? Feb. 20): 1) The business of America is business. Like it or leave it. 2) There is such a thing as liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. Tell your friend Kevin that too. Long live John Chafee. 3) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have someone acknowledge that John Kennedy was not a god. May future historians likewise see through the phony glamour. 4) Speaking of glamour, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be writing this column if Ernest Hemingway hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visited Havana.â&#x20AC;?

Archdiocese removes priest The religious ﬁgure, with Bella Vista ties, allegedly committed sexual indiscretion. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

rchbishop Charles J. Chaput announced Sunday that Rev. James J. Collins is “not suitable for ministry” after a substantiated allegation that the priest sexually abused a minor more than 40 years ago. The declaration comes nine months after the Archdiocese of Philadelphia put Collins on leave based on preliminary investigations. The 75-year-old priest had been serving at the Northeast Philly-situated St. Martha Parish prior to the May 2013 announcement by Chaput. Collins, whose lengthy assignments list, including a three-year stint in Rome, served at Saint Paul Parish, 808 S. Hutchinson St., from 1964 to ’65 and ’75 to ’76.

Blade runner After a gun could not convince pedestrian to give up his property, a thief used a knife to score cash in Pennsport Saturday. While walking in the area of the 2000 block of East Moyamensing Avenue at 11 p.m., the complainant had a man approach him from behind, with the foreign figure producing a gun, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The armed offender pushed the weapon into the complainant’s rib cage and met resistance when demanding his prey’s property. Growing frustrated, he produced a black folding knife and repeated his request. The man handed over $60 before he followed the blade wielder’s request to turn around and run away, with the offender running southbound on Moyamensing Avenue. He described the thief as white, 18 to 20 years old, 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds; and wearing a black mask that covered the lower part of his face, a dark hoodie, a dark baseball cap with a red brim, black cotton gloves and lightcolored jeans and sneakers. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Hungry for trouble A man parted with his wallet and lunch bag last week in Newbold. Walking on the 1500 block of South 15th Street at 7:10 a.m. Feb. 20, the complainant became the pushing victim of an unknown man who had approached him from behind with an accomplice, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Falling to the ground, he replied to the first stranger’s demand for money by saying he had none. The persistent figure then insisted the complainant give him his wallet, which contained identification and bank debit cards. Before running northbound on 15th Street with his ally, Tolliver said, the thief added the man’s lunch bag to his spoils, having taken it from around his prey’s neck. The victim described the main offender as white, approximately 35 years old and 6 foot; having a thin build, a fair complexion, dark brown hair and a full beard; and wearing a red Phillies hoodie, dark blue jeans and red and white sneakers. He labeled the second as a black man, approximately 35 years old, 5-foot-10, having a medium build, a dark brown complexion and a shaven face; and wearing a black puffy jacket with a black skull cap and dark jeans. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

The location, a three-story, multiple-use occupancy, includes apartments at the top and Hawthornes Cafe on the bottom, with Sawyer adding the establishment suffered water damage. Fire officials, who are still looking to determine the cause, placed the matter under control at 9:15 a.m., with most of the apartments sustaining fire and/or water damage. The incident displaced eight residents, with no reported injuries.

Hellesten update The District Attorney’s Office announced Monday that 15-year-old Amber Hellesten will have a preliminary hearing March 12. Authorities arrested the resident of the 2000 block of Sigel Street Feb. 11 for her alleged stabbing of 14-year-old Azim Chaplin on the 2100 block of Watkins Street the same day. Chaplin died Feb. 16 at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Woman thwarts thugs

Gun produces crime A gun-wielding man made off with a woman’s possessions in Newbold Sunday. At approximately 2 a.m., the complainant was walking in the area of 15th and Dickinson streets when an unknown black man approached her from behind, pointed a black gun at her and demanded her property, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She handed him her wallet, which contained identification and miscellaneous paperwork and an iPod before he fled northbound on the 1600 block of South Hicks Street. Authorities surveyed the area, Tolliver

said, but had negative results. The victim, who put the value of her stolen property at $320, added that the robber was in his early 20s, 6 foot; had a thin build and short dark hair; and wore a navy blue bandana to cover his face and dark clothing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Double-teamed A man fell prey to two offenders in Grays Ferry Saturday night. At 9:15 p.m., the victim was in the area of 30th and Reed streets when the figures approached him from behind. The first, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, pulled a gun and demanded his belongings. The pedestrian hesitated, with the second stranger punching him in the neck, leading him to fall to the ground. When he rose, he had to empty his pockets per the second man’s demand. He gave over his wallet, from which the second offender removed $50 before reaching into his sweatshirt pocket to remove his iPhone. The two then ran eastbound on Reed Street toward 30th Street, Tolliver said. The victim, who sustained pain and swelling to the right side of his neck, described the first as black, 17 years old; having a dark complexion; and wearing a black hoodie that covered his face. He labeled the second 17 years old; having a light complexion; and wearing a brown or gray hoodie that covered his face. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Lip service A man suffered gruesome injuries Sunday morning after an altercation with another male outside of Xfinity Live! Philadelphia, 1100 Pattison Ave. At 1:53 a.m., the complainant noted an unknown man punched him from behind, with the blow sending him to the ground, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The stranger continued to punch his head and face after jumping on the victim before fleeing the area. The complainant received transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was treated for a large laceration to his face that severely damaged his bottom lip, and several missing teeth. He described his attacker as white, in his 30s, 6 foot, 180 pounds; having a muscular build; and wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

A female used aggression to fight off two would-be thieves in South of South last week. Police met with the complainant at 8 p.m. Feb. 20 on the 1200 block of South 19th Street and learned that at 8:30 p.m. the previous night, she had been walking on the 800 block of South 19th Street when two unknown men approached her from behind and tried to take her purse, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant used punches and kicks to retain her bag, with the offenders fleeing westbound on Montrose Street. She described the potential criminals as white, 18 to 20 years old, with the first being 5-foot-6 and the second 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8; both having slim build and being clean-shaven, wearing black skull caps; the first wearing a black North Face fleece jacket and dark sneakers; and the second wearing a black Adidas track jacket with white stripes on the sleeves.

Mighty ‘Black Soul’ A South of South nonproﬁt has produced a documentary on Philadelphia’s rich radio history. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

hen Tim Whitaker was a kid, he was obsessed with the radio. On every car ride, he’d bounce around the AM dial and punch the buttons in his dad’s Pontiac to nd the stations and disk jockeys he loved most. This was in between Philadelphia and New York City, mostly Bethlehem, but he’s revived his love of radio with his Mighty Writers organization right here in South Philadelphia. The after-school and enrichment program, headquartered at 1501 Christian St., has a simple approach: “Our mission is to teach Philadelphia kids (ages 7 to 17) to think and write with clarity so they can achieve success at school, at work and in life.” All programs are free to Philadelphia students. At the Clef Club, 738 S. Broad St., Feb. 20, some mighty writers, staff and legendary soul radio DJs (including Kenny Gamble) were on hand to celebrate the culmination of a special project that was near and dear to Whitaker’s heart. In honor of Black History Month, conversations take place around the city about identity, pride and heritage. One such conversation that took place more than a year ago was the spark that became something great called “Going Black: The Legacy of Philly Soul Radio.” As Whitaker tells it: “The idea for doing the radio documentary on Black radio came to us during a discussion about Black History Month.” Students like Nafeesah Cannady, a “Mighty high school writer,” was eager to learn more. “All my life I’ve been hearing about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. in school during Black History Month,” she said. “Both are great and historic Black Americans. But why aren’t we ever taught about the great Black Americans that came before us right in Philadelphia.” Cannady may not have even known who Gamble, the doc’s narrator, and Leon Huff were; or Jocko Henderson or Georgie Woods (“The Guy with the Goods”); or Louise Williams or South Philly’s Butterball for that matter. But it hit a note with Whitaker, a lover of the great radio stations that gave a voice to a generation of Black Americans, even when race riots and civil inequality were tearing Philadelphia apart: WDAS, WIBL and WFIL.

Dyana Williams, a Philadelphian since 1980 and co-founder of the International Association of African American Music Foundation, was inspired at a young age by Philadelphia soul radio legends and held the distinct honor of emceeing the evening, in which people ranging from ages 9 to 70-plus were in attendance at the South of South site. “For the young children in the Mighty Writers program, I believe [Black History Month] is a period for them to learn about significant individuals who should not be forgotten,” she said. Williams expressed her extreme pleasure in picking up the torch of inspiration for African Americans, especially women, and how honored she’s been to fulfill the role she once saw in her heroes as an on-air Personality for 100.3 WRNB. “I love being a super-servant to my community and to be able to use radio as a vehicle to promote positive energy and ideas

among our listeners,” she said. “I consider it a true privilege to motivate young men and women of color with music and programming I produce and play.” ONE SUCH YOUNG woman, who may have had her eyes opened to the rich history of black radio through the Clef Club event, was Anniyah Dawan from the 1700 block of Ellsworth Street. She’s a fifth grade student at Universal Institute Charter, 801 S. 15th St., and attends a Mighty Writers Academy after school. “We do homework and write. We write persuasive paragraphs and narratives,” she said with a tiny voice as she nibbled on a strawberry. “I like narrative and writing fiction.” The youngster added she and her friends had written a series of three novels about “invisible criminals, a magic graveyard and scary ducks.” “We’re learning about Black music and

stuff for Black History Month,” she said, and cited Maya Angelou as a black writer she reveres. She hopes to be an “entrepreneur – I like to sell stuff.” Another was Independence Charter fourth-grader Aaron Armstrong, a 9-yearold who loves fantasy stories and science. “We’ve been predicting and doing experiments,” he said quietly. “I’m hoping in seventh grade to dissect frogs.” It’s these kids, in Whitaker’s charge, that will find a newfound respect for their city’s rich history of Black radio. As the radio documentary’s executive producer, he’ll be implementing the project into Mighty Writer academies. “We produced the documentary in collaboration with two talented writers and producers — Yowei Shaw and Alex Lewis, plus the support of many friends. We’ll now hold writing workshops at the site, so the kids can learn about the people showcased in the documentary and have a chance to write about them.” Shaw, a West Philly resident who came to Philadelphia for college in 2006, has found a home here in radio. After some time in the non-profit world, she turned to radio after an unfulfilling stint in Washington, D.C. “I’m proud of the documentary and the whole production team. Getting through multiple books of research, conducting almost 50 interviews, searching archival audio, logging hours of tape, going through multiple rounds of script-writing, and of course, editing the audio and mixing the whole thing [was a challenge],” Shaw, explaining the process since last February, said. But she was quick to cite students as the project’s inspiration: “The actual mighty writers were the ones who started the whole thing. They are the reason we made the documentary.” To Shaw, an Asian-American who finds great meaning in telling the stories of people of color, she took her task extremely seriously. “Because Black radio history is not ours in a direct sense, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to approach the subject matter with sensitivity, respect and care,” she said. “But we also feel like the legacy of Black radio in Philly is an important part of the city’s history.” SPR

PAL DAY continued from page 1 Lloyd Ayers and City Councilman-at-Large David Oh. Representatives from two different South Philadelphia PAL centers and three schools were invited to participate in the annual celebration of local students’ accomplishments and successes. Representing St. Benedict PAL and Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., Kyree Henry partnered with Sheriff Jewell Williams. Point Breeze PAL, 1599 Wharton St., found a leader in Tanisha King-Morris, a 16-year-old junior at Philadelphia High School for Girls who shadowed City Representative (and the Mayor’s Director of Communications) Desiree Peterkin-Bell. Saints Neumann and Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., senior Sihmare Morgan, a Cobbs Creek PAL regular, worked with Alan Greenberger, a senior staffer in the City’s commerce department. And Saphir Green, a 17-year-old junior at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., with an interest in law and forensics, found inspiration in observing District Attorney Seth Williams. Green, a resident of the 700 block of Dudley Street and visitor to the Ford PAL Center, 631 Snyder Ave., for the past 11 years, has set his sights on American University in Washington, D.C., and Williams delivered some succinct advice for the young man in his office at 3 Penn Square by way of a puzzling question: What’s the number one thing in common among the criminals arrested in Philadelphia? “The number one thing is they didn’t finish high school,” he told Green. “Dropouts are eight times more likely to go to prison; dropouts are 20 times more likely to be a homicide victim.” As part of the learning process, Green toured through the chambers of City Hall and was introduced to Curtis Jones, Jr., 4th District Councilman, and when Green met 3rd District Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, she encouraged him to “Learn a lot and ask a lot of questions.” Shortly after Green’s moment in the District Attorney’s desk chair, he was put in the care of Vernon V. Price, the director of community and government relations down the hall. Price showed Green the intricacies of the many floors and teams that make up the District Attorney offices, which comprise 600 employees, including 305 Assistant D.A.s and 295 other officers, investigators and secretaries. The building processes more than 75,000 cases a year. Green’s eyes looked wide open on the 18th floor, the space that houses special investigations that include digital crime and internal investigations. One detective reminded Green that “an IP address is a fingerprint.” When introduced to an inves-

tigator who handled internal crimes, theft of services from city employees and unjust abuses of power, Green asked “They get charged like a regular person?” Indeed they do. As Price introduced Green through the District Attorney’s office, many investigators and Assistant D.A.s jokingly asked for a raise for a long lunch, to which he was regularly firm with a “No.” One such friendly face was a 27-year veteran state trooper who playfully requested overtime and an early start to his weekend. Now a county detective whose anonymity was necessary because of his position, he offered some of the most potent wisdom of the day for Saphir: “Keep your grades up and your nose clean. Be careful who you associate with. We’re always in need of good people. Never lose who you are, or lose sight of who you are. Always be ethical.” BEFORE PRICE TOOK Green over to the Criminal Justice Center, while waiting for an elevator, Price talked about growing up in North Philly. “If I can make it out of the hood, anybody can. Poverty is no excuse for bad behavior or cruel behavior,” Price said, looking towards Green. The South Philadelphian seemed to nod in agreement. At 1801 Vine St., a short walk from the D.A. building, Green got to witness an arraignment, a court case, meet a judge and even descend into the holding tanks underground. It was here that, perhaps stronger than any lesson he’d learned for the day, Green came face-to-face with criminals

packed into a cell. Some stared as the lieutenant briskly guided the group through the close quarters and a few yelled bits of harassing screams. While these citizens seemingly made wrong decisions to find themselves in custody, PAL day shows successful young Philadelphians who’ve emerged as success stories the chance to see good people, people who come from where they come from, as smart and successful adults thriving in public service. “I believe we provide youth the opportunity to see the other side of the criminal justice system made up of dedicated and hard-working men and women. They are living examples of success,” Price said. “Fifty percent of youth in the Philadelphia School system that enter the ninth grade do not graduate high school. The key is to instill in our youth that they must graduate high school and how important it is to have an education and avoid criminal behavior at all costs.” “Our Audenried scholars involved with the PAL program are typically scholars who are looking for a safe space to be after school where they can play sports and socialize with their peers,” Audenried principal Glenda Darby said. “They are usually not associated with peers taking the wrong pathway. Officers Ashton and Holmes assist with our daily operations. …They talk to students as they are in the halls and gym area and encourage them to stay in school and away from the negative influences.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

Teachable moments A Passyunk Square actor is analyzing autonomy as a resolute educator. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

s a Rowan University adjunct professor, Ross Beschler strays from being pedantic, preferring for his theatrically-inclined pupils to pursue their own sense of excitement as text appreciators and interpreters. Art is not necessarily imitating life, though, for the resident of the 1400 block of South Clarion Street, as he is playing the often stringent instructor Arnholm in “The Lady from the Sea,” the second leg of EgoPo Classic Theatre’s Henrik Ibsen Festival. “He’s a tricky character,” the 30-something thespian said last week just a short walk from the Old City-situated Christ Church Neighborhood House, which is staging the play through Sunday. “He has an image as a confidant and a trustworthy advisor, a corrector and an encourager, but in many ways he seems to support institutional aspects of life and feels people would be better off if they listened to him more passionately.” Despite his nagging narrow-mindedness, the academic figure, who shows his softer side by courting the titular female’s stepdaughter, has won admiration from the Passyunk Square performer, who seems him as a serenity-seeking soul. Beschler enjoys his emphasis on discovering

the best in people and allegiance to believing individuals possess more power than they might suspect surges through them. “He has his structured stances,” the actor said, “and it’s been interesting to explore such thinking in a work that’s so suitable for the company’s vision of navigating compelling pieces and being explorers of and pioneers for other entities to be our peers in doing the same.” Along with intensifying his pull toward roles that develop his instrument, “The Lady from the Sea” is allowing Beschler to reaffirm his affinity for EgoPo, with the show partnering him with four South Philadelphians, artistic director and Rowan colleague Lane Savadove, director Brenna Geffers and performers Lee Minora and Ed Swidey. He has assisted the repertory ensemble in such works as 2008’s “Spring Awakening” and ’11’s “The Golem,” with the artists’ bonds helping him to characterize the local theater scene as one teeming with notions of camaraderie and care. “We’re quite tight,” he said of the group, which commenced its tribute to the Norwegian playwright with September’s “A Doll’s House” and will conclude the honorary trilogy with April’s “Gint,” an adaptation of “Peer Gynt.” “This play is

A SOUTH PHILLY dweller for seven years, Beschler has come to esteem his surroundings as the source of a communal vibe abounding in support for one’s aspirations, especially if those dreams involve becoming chummy with stages. “There is a great acting community here,” the New York City native said. “It’s been great to know that so many people have gone from being these sort of fledgling figures to realized artists.” Growing up as more of a writer who

loved drawing ideas from the Theatre of the Absurd, notably Eugene Ionesco, Beschler became a performance buff as a high school student. Describing himself as “an intellectual, heady child,” he yearned to learn how to become integrated into the world of innovative storytelling, gaining priceless tutelage at Columbia University. “Acting became a way of accessing presence, and it offered a doorway to the real world,” he said of a mindset that he gladly elaborates on when venturing to Glassboro, N.J., to teach. “I’m not going to say it’s without its caution-causing elements, such as the degree to which you can have a say in the sort of energy that something exudes, but it’s where I’ve best felt I could situate myself.” After a stint in San Francisco and a return to the Big Apple, the latter producing a reputable run of roles, Beschler chose Temple University for his graduate coursework, with the North Philly-based haven proving a heavenly fit for his farreaching soul. “It provided a great connection to the world,” he said of the institution, through which he gained teaching experience and a second-year role in Lantern Theatre Co.’s “The Lonesome West.” “I’ve tried ever since to be positive and say ‘Yes’ to the

world as often as possible.” With his affirmative attitude as a beacon, Beschler has become a Pennsylvania staple, helping Pittsburgh’s City Theatre; Malvern’s People’s Light & Theatre Co. through “End Days,” in which he played Jesus Christ and scientist Stephen Hawking; Gas & Electric Arts; New City Stage Co.; the Wilma Theater; and Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St. Through EgoPo, which he lauds for its ambitious commitment to preserving classics, he is balancing a love of established pieces with a penchant for gaining insights on how to approach newer works. That liveliness has also led him to film, with his most notable effort coming in ’10’s “Flight of the Cardinal.” “We’re in the middle of a cultural watershed,” Beschler, who will appear in the Philadelphia Artists’ Collective’s April production of “Mary Stuart” with South Philly inhabitants Krista Apple-Hodge and Jessica Johnson, said. “There’s definitely a conversation going on surrounding that, and film and theater are in the mix. I’m happy to be a voice, too.” SPR

another step toward honing the philosophy that we’re not just cogs in the machine. It’s definitely the Ibsen work most obsessed with images, so there’s special care being taken for us to convey that well.” Playing a fellow teacher, Beschler is hoping to champion discussions of autonomy and the acquisition of resolve as one pursues goals and dreams. Though his philosophy differs from Arnholm’s, he and his fictitious focus share an easily observable quality, passion. “I’m committed to learning and progressing,” he said. “So far, Philadelphia has done that for me. It’s helped me to be me on a greater level and has shown that hoping for chances to do that has been a successful tactic.”

By Tom Cardella Columnist

The dentist

read an unassuming obituary the other day, as unassuming as the man whose death notice it conveyed. Dr. Folgorite Giorgio had been our dentist in another time that might as well have been in another galaxy. His office was tucked away in a row home on 16th Street between Jackson and Snyder. The office, like the dentist, was also unassuming, so much so that even after I had been going there for a time, I found myself walking by it. Dr. Giorgio’s office was located in his father’s home. It was not unusual to see his father walk in carrying a bag of groceries while you were sitting in the small waiting room just outside the dental office. Dr. Giorgio was his own receptionist. If the phone rang while he was busy working on a patient, he didn’t answer it. He had no dental hygienist to assist him. It was just you and Dr. Giorgio and an old AM radio that was always tuned to WCAU because it carried the Phillies and talk shows. Dr. Giorgio was a man of civility. In 1964, when I first began going to him, he already belonged to an era that vanished so quickly, many of us might not remember that it ever existed. A man of unprepossessing appearance, he was partially bald and of small stature. In his white dental coat, he could have easily blended into a crowd, a man who could go unnoticed. Even his voice was soft and reassuring as you lay there in the dental chair. By the time I met him, he had already become an anomaly, like a Norman Rockwell version of the local dentist, and he knew it. He was a meticulous man. His appointments were carefully scheduled. Minutes after you arrived, the patient in his office was getting ready to leave. Just as he was finished working on you, the doorbell would ring and his next patient would be entering the outer waiting room. You barely had time to pick up a news magazine from the rack. The most unusual thing about Dr. Giorgio was that you often left his office without being charged. If you had a perfect checkup, he didn’t charge you. Why should he charge you, he believed, if he didn’t fix anything? Even if you did need work, his fee was well below what other dentists were charging. One time when my wife brought one of our kids for a visit, she mentioned to him that she knew she owed a balance from work he had done on

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

a previous visit. Dr. Giorgio kept his payment record in two card files – one paid and one unpaid. After my wife questioned him, he went over to the card files and declared, “Merry Christmas, you’re in the paid file.” We are suspicious people in South Philadelphia. We don’t accept even good deeds without questioning them. One of Dr. Giorgio’s patients, after being told once again that he didn’t owe anything, finally couldn’t resist questioning him. “What gives, Doc,” he asked, “you know what other dentists are charging?” Dr. Giorgio looked the man in the eye. “Bruno, I’ve got my kids in good schools,” he replied. “I drive a Cadillac, what else do I need?” It seemed an argument based on irrefutable logic if you were a saint. He had his quirks. He didn’t believe in routinely X-raying your teeth. He believed the practice was more harmful than any small cavity he might find. In time the cavity would show itself to his naked eye, and if it did, there would be time enough to fill it. Dr. Giorgio was also a dentist who made house calls if it were necessary. Each time I paid him a visit, I almost expected to be invited for dinner by his father once he put the pot on. He was an ardent Phillies fan who attended fantasy camp at least one season. A former Phillies player and later broadcaster disappointed him, he told me, because “the guy was more interested in flirting with the young women there than he was in talking to the attendees about baseball.” If you were a baseball fan, he loved to discuss the finer points of the game with you, even if you had trouble responding because you had a wad of cotton inside your mouth. I would often see him, wearing his Phillies cap, on the way to old Veterans Stadium. Dentistry has come a long way since the days of Dr. Giorgio. The average person can flash a smile that was once owned only by Hollywood stars. The offices are high tech and fully staffed. The dental health of Americans has never been better. In no way is this column meant to reflect negatively on the improvements that have come with modernization. But that doesn’t mean in recognizing the gains, we shouldn’t remember what’s been lost. My fillings from Dr. Giorgio have slowly disintegrated with time and had to be replaced, but not his memory. One thing I have learned with the passing of time, there are some rare people who are so much more than the sum of their parts. Dr. Giorgio was a dentist, but there is a reason his memory is indelible in our hearts. He was so much more. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

ON THE SCENE NE

Tenaya Darlington, aka Madame Fromage, pays tribute to dairy-based delights available at a beloved Bella Vista establishment.

Literary servingss ■ By Thomas Conway Review Contributor

iBruno Bros. has taken a new step in its ever expanding presence on the local and national food scene — it now boasts a literary accompaniment. In the recently published “DiBruno Bros. House of Cheese: A Guide to Wedges, Recipes, and Pairings,” author and Philly’s resident cheese courtesan Tenaya Darlington delivers an approachable and enjoyable ride through the culinary possibilities offered by the iconic neighborhood cheese shop. More than a traditional cookbook, it is a work born of Darlington’s obsession with cheese and an introduction to that hole in the wall on South Ninth Street. “I moved to Philadelphia from Wisconsin in 2005, and I had one address that someone had given me, because I didn’t know a single a person. A former neighbor said when you get to Philadelphia you got to go down to the Italian Market and check out this little cheese shop called DiBruno Bros.,” she recalled. “Not only was the selection amazing, it was just fun to stand in line. You’re behind chefs, you’re behind little Italian grandmas wearing thick black shoes and black socks waiting for their hunks of Pecorino-Romano. “You got sausages hanging from the ceiling. It smells wonderful. That place just felt alive to me in way that no other cheese shop had ever felt alive. I felt so welcome to Philadelphia just by stepping into that shop.” After that, Darlington said DiBruno

Bros., 930 S. Ninth St., became hher “Cheers,” stopping in weekly to check out new cheeses that she would often then bring to parties. She learned quickly that arriving with cheese in Philly will make one pretty popular, helping her settle nicely into her new city. Darlington’s background as a poet and novelist would then manifest itself in her newfound cheese habit, as she began writing down her cheese experiences. Soon after her popular blog and alter ego Madame Fromage was born, a project that would eventually gain her enough notoriety and credibility to garner the blessing of DiBruno Bros. brass in authoring the first and only cheese guide in its roughly 75-year history. “House of Cheese” strikes fun loving and non-pretentious chords, amusingly categorizing cheeses not by world region or technical definition but by personality — calling them “vixens,” “mountain men” and “rock stars.” Each of the 170 cheeses detailed in her book falls into these, or equally colorful, categories and all are favorites that can be found at DiBruno Bros. Darlington professes she wanted to reflect the, “enthusiastic and approachable feeling inside DiBruno Bros.,” and she succeeds in doing just that. Published by Philly’s own Running Press, the book is a must-have for anyone aiming to craft the ideal cheese plate, find the perfect drink pairing or bring the atmosphere of the Italian Market DiBruno Bros. to his or her kitchen.

Oscar 2014 predictions This year’s Best Picture race is one of the closest ever. We’re weighing in on that showdown, as well as who’ll take home the gold in the other categories. ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

Best Supporting Actress ally Hawkins, the somewhat surprising nominee for “Blue Jasmine,” deserves to be here just as much “August: Osage County” star Julia Roberts, who’s recognized for her meatiest work since “Erin Brockovich.” But both will have to settle with nominations alone, as this category comes down to June Squibb of “Nebraska,” Jennifer Lawrence of “American Hustle,” and Lupita Nyong’o of “12 Years a Slave.” Playing a foul-mouthed, yet stealthily supportive Midwestern wife, Squibb has the veteran’s advantage, while Lawrence, a superstar excelling as a con man’s moll, grabs hold of viewer attention with both of her cleaning-glove-wearing hands. But the award is going to go to Nyong’o, who not only bears the burden of her film’s harshest brutalities, but has emerged as the standout ingenue of the season.

Best Supporting Actor Supporting Actor is the most frustrating race to discuss, even though there’s little discussion to be had, seeing as “Dallas Buyers Club” star Jared Leto has this trophy in the bag. What’s irksome isn’t merely that Bradley Cooper (“American Hustle”), Barkhad Abdi (“Captain Phillips”), Jonah Hill (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) and Michael Fassbender (“12 Years a Slave”) are all more deserving; it’s that Leto fails to transcend portraying a queer stereotype, which was tired in the 1990s, and now has him misrepresenting an entire community in 2014. It’s not necessarily Leto’s responsibility to be an advocate for anyone, but beyond the failings of “Dallas Buyers Club” itself, this season has shown that

Will win: Jared Leto Could Win: Barkhad Abdi Should win: Abdi Best Actress nother sealed deal, the Best Actress race rests in the hands of the unbeatable Cate Blanchett, who evoked everything from Blanche DuBois to a modern-day millennial in her role in “Blue Jasmine,” playing a 1-Percenter who’s plummeted from grace and scrambling to pick up the pieces. Naysayers have mocked Blanchett’s baldfaced abundance of “technique,” but that’s part of the charm of the performance. Employing a certain vaudevillian quality, as one of my peers put it, she knows precisely how to play this role in all its tragicomic contradictions, turning herself into an emotional ping-pong ball of self-destruction. Blanchett’s competition, if she has any, is Amy Adams, who’s riveting in her greatest role, as Sydney, in “American Hustle,” and eclipses the fine, yet inferior, work of Judi Dench (“Philomena”), Sandra Bullock (“Gravity”) and Meryl Streep (“August: Osage County”).

Will win: Cate Blanchett Could Win: Amy Adams Should win: Blanchett

as the front-runner, having lost a good 30 pounds. and put himself through the emotional wringer. But there are new whispers of Leonardo DiCaprio possibly sneaking in for the victory, steamrolling the field for his controversial, yet electrifying, turn in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Also boasting supporters are “12 Years a Slave” heartbreaker Chiwetel Ejiofor, and grizzled, seasoned “Nebraska” lead Bruce Dern. (However solid in “American Hustle,” Christian Bale should just be thankful he rode in on his well-received movie’s coattails.) But Oscar-watchers should still put their money on McConnaughey, who’ll be joining his less-worthy co-star in the winner’s circle. Will win: Matthew McConnaughey Could Win: Leonardo DiCaprio Should win: McConnaughey Best Director hough Martin Scorsese (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) and Alexander Payne (“Nebraska”) are both consistent Academy favorites, the contest for Best Director is among three men: David O. Russell (“American Hustle”), Steve McQueen (“12 Years a Slave”) and Alfonso Cuarón (“Gravity”). Though Russell has also become an Oscar darling, having previously been nominated for “The Fighter” and “Silver Linings

Best Actor hile “Dallas Buyers Club” star Matthew McConnaughey has gobbled up more precursor trophies than any of his competitors, this category may not be as locked up as many would think. Playing a homophobic AIDS patient, McConnaughey enters the ceremony

Other Predictions: Best Original Screenplay: “Her” Best Adapted Screenplay: “12 Years a Slave” Best Film Editing: “Gravity” Best Cinematography: “Gravity” Best Original Score: “Gravity”

Best Original Song: “Happy” from “Despicable Me 2” Best Foreign Language Film: “The Great Beauty” Best Documentary Feature: “20 Feet from Stardom” Best Animated Feature: “Frozen”

Playbook,” odds are the historical weight of McQueen’s horror show and the, well, gravity of “Gravity” will trump Russell’s chances. That leaves McQueen and Cuarón, whom many have been predicting will be part of a Picture/Director split, leaving one filmmaker with a trophy for himself and the other with a trophy for his creation. McQueen may have on his side the exposure of America’s ills, but Cuarón’s virtuoso technical achievement is unlikely to go unrewarded. Will win: Alfonso Cuarón Could Win: Steve McQueen Should win: David O. Russell Best Picture scar buffs should ready themselves for a little post-show outrage on Monday morning, for despite all the (perhaps overly optimistic) impulses to declare a win for “12 Years a Slave,” there’s simply no getting past the logic that “Gravity” is the odds-on Best Picture favorite. This minimalistic sci-fi spectacle, which proved accessible to all while remaining a dazzling bit of art, scared off no voters in the way that McQueen’s epic did, and it also has the support of virtually every technical branch, awards from which it’s poised to collect by the armful. (Remember: While different disciplines individually nominate their peers, everyone votes for the Oscar winners.) This is sure to be an incredibly close race, so close that the other nominees — “Her,” “Nebraska,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Philomena,” “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Captain Phillips” and “American Hustle”— needn’t even be assessed, but it in the end, what will matter is which film lands in first, second or even third place on most voters’ preferential ballots. And, at this point, that film is “Gravity.”

Will win: “Gravity” Could Win: “12 Years a Slave” Should win: “Her” Best Sound Mixing: “Gravity” Best Sound Editing: “Gravity” Best Costume Design: “The Great Gatsby” Best Makeup & Hairstyling: “Dallas Buyers Club” Best Art Direction: “The Great Gatsby”

Rose Marie’s Vegetarian Spinach Balls

Last chance

he second annual East Passyunk Restaurant Week comes to a close Saturday night. Many eateries along the avenue are still offering three-course brunch, lunch or dinner selections ranging between $15 and $35 per person. Twitter followers can use the hashtag #EPRW for lastminute and hard-to-get reservations. Special menus are posted on the event website. For more information, visit eastpassyunkrestaurantweek.com. SPR

any families have that one person with special dietary restrictions, and this individual is sometimes forgotten about when the dinner menu is planned out. Some end up bringing their own meal to avoid that dreaded hunger boredom of sitting in front of an empty plate. Well, for those on the market for a vegetarian-friendly dish, Rose Marie Lucas, of the 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue, shares her Spinach Balls recipe. The meat and potato lovers out there are welcome to cross over to the healthier side of eating. It just may become one of those side dishes that appease all parties. SPR

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

2 10-ounce boxes of chopped frozen spinach 1 egg 3/4 cup of Italian breadcrumbs 1/4 cup of grated cheese Salt and pepper, to taste 1/2 teaspoon of hot pepper ﬂakes (optional) Oil, for frying

Defrost the spinach in the microwave. Squeeze the water out of the spinach, and let cool. Add the egg, cheese and breadcrumbs. Add the salt, pepper and hot pepper (if desired). Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Roll the mixture into balls, and fry in the oil.

Lucky 13’s Vegan Chili

t’s 3 p.m. Monday, and chef Amy Selevan is preparing Lucky 13’s bar for the evening crowd. She is in charge

of the menu at the East Passyunk Crossing establishment located at 1820 S. 13th St., but doubles as a bartender certain nights. “I like the social interaction,” the resident of Tasker Street and East Moyamensing Avenue said. “I can really sell the menu.” Selevan enjoys taking a playful approach to the “bar food” concept by offering large portions of her homemade dishes. The Cincinnati native’s passion for the kitchen dates back to her childhood days when she was tall enough to reach the stove. “I went to an arts high school, and I was having dinner parties,” she said of her teenage years. “My mom said why not go to culinary school. I was like ‘wow, they have a school for that?’” The Oregon-based Western Culinary Institute helped set the foundation, which included one very unique experience on a small cruise ship that made regular voyages to Alaska. It involved spending eight to 10 weeks on a

boat at a time, along with many 16-hour days. Several years later, Selevan has settled in at Lucky 13 where she has worked for the last three years. Her Vegan Chili dish is currently being offered as part of East Passyunk Restaurant Week, which runs through Saturday (Lucky 13 is offering three courses for $15). “Patience is the key,” she said. “You can’t rush good chili.”

INGREDIENTS: 8-ounce can of chickpeas 1 cup of yellow bell pepper, diced 1 cup of red bell pepper, diced 1 cup of white onion, diced 1 cup of diced carrots 1 cup of celery, diced 1 jalapeño, ﬁnely diced 4 cloves of garlic, minced

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

8-ounce can of diced tomatoes 8-ounce can of stewed tomatoes 1 cup of water 1/4 cup of chili powder 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of red pepper ﬂake 1 teaspoon of cumin 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper Pinch of cayenne 8-ounce can of black beans, rinsed

8-ounce can of kidney beans

DIRECTIONS: Sauté all of the veggies until onions are translucent. Add the diced and stewed tomato products along with the cup of water, and bring to boil. Add the beans, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 60 minutes until thickened; stir occasionally. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

Gender equality Like their basketball brothers, the Neumann-Goretti girls have acquired Catholic League supremacy. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

hen Letty Santarelli became the girls’ basketball coach at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., in 2012, she knew her team, though coming off a solid season that included a District 12 Class AA City Title loss to Prep Charter, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., possessed second ddle status at the East Passyunk Crossing-based institution because of the success of the boys’ squad. Fusing focus and fearlessness, she and her charges have proven as primary as their male mentors and captured the Catholic League title Monday night by downing Archbishop Wood 55-46 at The Palestra. “The girls have worked hard all season long,” Santarelli, a resident of the 2900 block of South Broad Street, said after a celebratory dance with the Saints. “They came focused and determined and are passionate for the game. I am so proud of them.” kings, In sailing past the Vikings, urthe athletes, who on SaturJunior guard day at St. Joe’s Prep willl Sianni Martin, wh look to defend their City tallied seven points for championship with a 1 the victors, is one of p.m. tilt versus Public the many reliable roster League victor Imhomembers for second-year tep Charter, brought coach Letty Santarelli. their facility its first female hoops plaque Photo by since 1978 and extended R o b To r n e y th their record to 24-0. With ould so much at stake, who could have blamed Alicia Kebbee for being a bit nervy? “I had anxiety coming in,” the sophomore guard/forward said of meeting expectations to revel and remain unblemished. “We have so much heart, though, so netted an opening-frame bucket, made the I tried to relax and play my game.” second session proof of her improving Kebbe calmed herself mainly through hold on matters, as she tallied seven points encouragement from fellow Southwest and played tight defense, with the Vikings, Philly dweller Ciani Cryor, the junior point whom the Saints bested 55-38 Feb. 1 in guard who immediately stoked the fanbase South Philly, able to dwindle their deficit with a first-possession three-pointer.

The Vikings, who also finished as the runners-up last year in falling to Cardinal O’Hara, Santarelli’s alma mater,

This week’s Sports Briefs can be found at www.southphillyreview. com/sports/briefs. trailed only 39-36 with 1:34 remaining before Kebbe again showed the crowd she could become an even more vital cog in the machine as the Saints look to add City and State championships to their school’s trophy case. She snared a difficult offensive rebound and put home a deuce before Cryor fed her for a wide open three-ball that gave the unblemished bunch a 44-39 lead as the ever-important final eight minutes of play commenced. A 4-0 run within the opening 90 seconds excited the Wood throng before Kebbe drilled another three-pointer on her way to a team-high 17 points. The Vikings kept hearts racing and made the tally 47-44 before Awobajo removed the last inkling of suspense. “The play wasn’t drawn up for me,” the cool customer and, like Sutton, McDonald’s All-American nominee, said of a beautiful corner three-ball that made the affair a twopossession game. “I’m happy, though, that it went in because we could breathe a little easier even know we knew we’d have to play hard until the final buzzer.” Awobajo, another Southwest Philly denizen, came to the United States from Nigeria for her junior year, just missing a chance to play with ’12 alumnus and fellow Nigerian Onowumi “Ki-ke” Rafiu, now playing at Georgetown University. Seeing her countrywoman as a role model, Awobajo aimed to give their homeland noteworthy news by vowing to be a part of a Catholic League championship club. The last blare sounded, she frolicked with her peers as they ended more than three decades of their fans’ waiting for another conqueror. “They made adjustments throughout the year, and especially tonight, which proves just how much they have bought into the idea of being accountable to themselves and one another,” Santarelli, an ’11 South Philly Review Difference Maker, said. “This is a special event that we’re all going to cherish.” The Saints will face a familiar foe Saturday, as they downed Imhotep in last year’s City title game. Just as with Wood, they will need to commit to 32 minutes of selfless play to stay flawless. “Anything can happen,” Awobajo said. “We proved that tonight.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Sixth sense The Neumann-Goretti boys’ hoopsters continued to collect kudos with another championship. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

AS THEIR HOOPS sisters had won the girls’ title prior to their tilt, the Saints entered the evening with the possibility of making their school the first to field the boys’ and girls’ victors in the same year since Cardinal O’Hara achieved the feat in 1968. The Cahillites, though, wanted to help themselves to some history and complete an impressive p night with a thumping win. Scoring the first four points after the break, theyy Senior forward had their supporters hollering and Jamal Custis hammered the Saints huffing before Newton home two early dunks on and company regrouped as they his way to 12 points. He have done so well in becoming and the Saints will go for the behemoths. AAA City title tomorrow. Back-and-forth action resulted in a 33-28 edge for Roman, but p h o t o b y R o b To r n e y the Saints, perhaps sensing fatigue or fright over the magnitude of the he Knocking down Knockin situation for their January conquerors, rors, his charity stripe atproved that February matters far more by tempts with 10 ticks remainstaging an 8-0 quarter-ending spurt. “I can’t lie and say I don’t get nervous,” ing, Newton hurried back on defense, with Harper, whose trek to the Tar Heel State Harper, who sniped 10 points, hoisting will again find him teamed with Saints the ball in the air after collecting Roman’s senior center Tony Toplyn, said. “We just final errant heave. “I owe so much to Ja’Quan,” he said of his preached getting stops and being consisfellow soon-to-be graduate and summertime tent offensively.” As he has done so often at The Palestra, workout ally. “He’s a big-time player, and Newton made crunch time his stint to he’s given so much to this program.” Arrigale, who likewise lauded Newton solidify his legacy as a worldbeater, as he scored nine of his game-high 23 points in as a clutch performer, accepted kudos the last quarter.

That makes it really fun. When those guys come back, it makes it all worth it. “It means a lot; this just, to me, finalizes this great run, this great six-year run. I wanted to see them do it, be part of it. Now it’s three groups of seniors that never lost a playoff game.

ach time Wayne Knight’s character would annoy Jerry Seinfeld on the latter’s eponymous sitcom, the comedian would declare his displeasure by blaring “Newman!” For most of the last decade and a half, frustrated Catholic League basketball clubs have hollered “Neumann-Goretti!” in reference to the boys’ team based at 1736 S. 10th St. The almighty Saints again entered the annals Monday, as they defeated Roman Catholic 53-48 at The Palestra to score their sixth straight parochial plaque. “This one puts us in the stratosphere,” coach Carl Arrigale said of conquering the Cahillites, the Center City-based ballers whose predecessors also pulled off a sixpeat from 1989 to ’94. “These guys just continue to amaze me.” In avenging this year’s lone league loss, Jan. 23’s 71-64 setback at Philadelphia University, the 21-4 Saints graced the resident of the 2900 block of South 15th Street with his 10th championship, tying him with former Roman head Dennis Seddon, who sat on the Cahillites’ bench Monday at the University of Pennsylvania-based arena. It also gives them more confidence ahead of tomorrow’s 7 p.m. trip to Saint Joseph’s University for the District 12 AAA City title game versus Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter School. “We never try to get ahead of ourselves,” senior guard and First-Team All-Catholic selection Troy Harper said. “We’re always looking to become stronger and learn lessons about ourselves.” Over the last sextet of years, opponents have become educated in just how good the East Passyunk Crossing-based hoopsters are, as Monday’s triumph gave Arrigale’s troops their 100th win from 102 contests, including playoffs, during that frame. As Roman had delivered them one of those defeats, with La Salle College High School inflicting the other last year, the Saints knew they needed to quiet the Cahillites’ stars and backers early on. With a couple big dunks from senior forward and Syracuse University football signee Jamal Custis, of the 1500 block of South 32nd Street, immediate momentum went to the Saints, but aside from those aerial displays and contributions from league MVP and Miami University-bound senior guard

Ja’Quan Newton, the defending champions struggled to achieve offensive rhythm and completed the quarter tied 10-10. The Cahillites, unblemished in league play, grabbed their first lead with the second quarter’s inaugural score and welcomed the up-tempo style their foes have so frequently frustrated teams with over their decorated run. Three-pointers by Newton, who in Feb. 19’s semifinal win over Archbishop Carroll became the school’s all-time leading marksman, and Harper, a fellow Southwest inhabitant who will matriculate at North Carolina’s Campbell University, brought the customary hoots that follow such heaves, but the Cahillites kept matters close, as neither team showed a golden touch and left many wondering why such skilled scorers entered halftime having mustered only 44 points, with 23 of them belonging to Roman.

I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. AMEN. Thank You for your love towards me and my loved ones.
