ast year at the BlackStar Film Festival, Mark Ah Savage screened “From Man to Man: The Legacy of Air Smooth – Reections on the Life of Dr. Shawn L. White.” It’s a 22-minute lm that distilled the South Philadelphian’s legacy into four distinct categories: “The Beginning,” “Musician,” “Educator” and “Health.” It was cre-

ated for the two sons he survived, Asa and Quadry, “as a vision board of their father’s sound moral grounding and expansive life motivations.” The short film’s an ideal starting point for the mural, to be called ASpire, that will find a home at 2059 Dickinson St., to honor the late great South Philadelphian who found early success in hip-hop but whose life work might be more appropriately See MURAL ARTS page 10 >>

Police Report: Explosive development

Fire Department personnel prevented a possible gas explosion in Queen Village.

By Tom Cardella

He was a lucky kid. There was no better place to grow up than South Philadelphia, and there was nothing like Easter week and the traditions that bound him to his family.

Few foods invoke more passion than pizza. People have strong convictions about how they want their pie prepared.

Venerable vegetables To the Editor: Spring is upon us, and soon plants will start thriving again at the South Philadelphia High School student garden. The students at the site are very fortunate to grow their own fresh fruits and vegetables that they can take home and cook, but the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other schools arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as lucky. Students across Philadelphia need more access to plant-based foods made from fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why The Humane League has partnered with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Real Food Works and other organizations to bring Meatless Monday to every public school in Philadelphia. If you want to reduce childhood obesity, prevent climate change, promote a wider range of options, bring compassion to the lunchroom or simply help your child grow into a healthy adult, then please support Meatless Monday in Philly schools

Managed care To the Editor: I am very happy and thrilled that South Philly Review Managing Editor Joe Myers has won two national awards for writing from The Local Media Association: A first place headline honor and a second place honor: local coverage of school district issues. In addition, he has won numerous awards, over the years. I cannot list all of his accolades, because they are many, but I can tell you that he is a fine, diligent, creative journalist, who pays attention to detail and never misses a beat. I enjoy perusing his stories, which are interesting reads, and the titles, which almost always have a play on words. The

stories that touch me the most are about the school issues, as I am a parent advocate. Thanks to him for covering our local stories. I appreciate him and feel he is an asset to the South Philly Review. Maureen Fratantoni Nebinger Home and School president South Philadelphia

Jeering Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s To the Editor: I feel inclined to write on behalf of Johnny Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located at the corner of Broad and Shunk streets. Recently, a food critic in the South Philly Review gave this restaurant one tip of the toque out of four (April 10). This, in my â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and apparently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions, could not be further from the truth. The place just won best of South Philly not just for best Chinese, but for best Ethnic non-Italian. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no small feat given the amount of Chinese restaurants in South Philly, let alone all â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ethnic nonItalianâ&#x20AC;? ones. One does not achieve such a status by being bland and mediocre. I am quite a Chinese

South PhillyReview food buff, and my wife and I go there at least twice a month and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always very happy. I say this not as a fan of Johnny Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but of Chinese food in general. Other places I have gone within walking distance of Johnny Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are not as good. For example, China House on Oregon Avenue has an extremely salty wonton soup. Taste the two side by side, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the difference instantly! I admit, not all of Johnny Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foods are four- or five-star, but the last time I checked, this was the South Philly Review. Apparently, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion but the pooled opinions of those who frequent the establishment that not only keep it in business, but also praise it with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;best ofâ&#x20AC;? award. Frankly, I do not see why her opinion is greater than all of South Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Johnny Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, of course, needs no defense. Its food and service have spoken for themselves in more ways than one. After all this talk, I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be dining on its fare this Thursday night while reading the Review.

t approximately 6 p.m. Monday, a witness on the 700 block of South Fourth Street detected a strong scent of gasoline, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, leading her to check with neighbors to determine its source. She retreated to her residence and noticed an even more potent odor coming from her basement. She reported the matter to 911, which sent Philadelphia Gas Works workers to the Queen Village site. The employees picked up the smell, too, noticed wires and requested assistance from the Fire Department, Tolliver said, with the additional helpers locating a timer plugged into an outlet, with a wire running under the stairwell into a plastic container of gasoline. The workers quickly unplugged the device. The situation remained under investigation as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Gunning for answers Police are searching for clues in solving the shooting of a teenager in West Passyunk. Just before midnight April 10, authorities received a call reporting gunshots in the area of 21st Street and West Passyunk Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, arriving to find the complainant on the highway in front of CITGO, 2101 W. Passyunk Ave. Suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, he received transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he underwent surgery for injuries to his lower body. Law enforcement agents established the crime scene as originating on the 2200 block of South 21st Street, Tolliver said, and extending to the 2100 block of Jackson Street. Their immediate investigation led to the recovery of ballistics and physical evidence. Flash information reported three darkclothing-clad black males running from the scene and a silver Dodge Caravan traveling east on Jackson Street toward 22nd Street. Officers located the unoccupied vehicle about an hour later, with the keys

in the ignition and the engine running, on the 2200 block of South 22nd Street, and are holding it for their investigation.

Technology taken An East Passyunk Crossing school became a burglar’s playground last week. At 10:35 a.m. April 9, the principal at St. Anthony of Padua Regional Catholic School, 913 Pierce St., made a call to authorities, telling them the institution’s personnel had locked and secured the site at 6:20 p.m. the previous day, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When an employee opened the location at 6:30 a.m., the school’s head learned someone had broken a mesh glass panel on a third-floor door. The intruder made off with a 19-inch Samsung flat screen television, a pair of Dell laptops and a cable lock, with the value of the items being $2,300. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Bad for business

Third District update The 3rd District Community Crime Bulletin, a weekly recap of occurrences in three Police Service Areas, revealed the following information Monday. In Police Service Area 1, which consists of the east side of Broad Street to the Delaware River and the south side of Lombard Street to the north side of Washington Avenue, two robberies occurred between April 7 and 13, with as many burglaries and four thefts from auto. For the year, authorities have documented 16 robberies, with one arrest, 23 burglaries, with six arrest, and 34 thefts from auto, with no arrests. For Police Service Area 2, which runs

from the east side of Sixth Street to the Delaware River and the south side of Washington Avenue to the Naval Business Center, officials last week dealt with five burglaries and six thefts from auto. The annual totals for the stretch are 21 robberies with eight arrests, 29 burglaries with three arrests and 75 thefts from auto with three arrests. In Police Service Area 3, which encompasses the east side of Broad Street to the west side of Sixth Street and the south side of Washington Avenue to the Naval Business Center, law enforcement personnel handled four robberies and burglaries and 10 thefts from auto. So far this year, they have investigated 48 robberies, making 13 arrests, 41 burglaries, nailing one offender, and 115 thefts from auto, orchestrating four arrests.

Vigil planned The family of Don Ly will mark the one-year anniversary of his murder with a 5 p.m. vigil on the 400 block of Vollmer Street tomorrow. His kin and the Philadelphia Police are still hoping to bring to justice the man who took their loved one’s life at the same location. At approximately 5 a.m. April 18, 2013, 3rd District personnel responded to a call of a person with a weapon on the aforementioned block and discovered the 68-year-old suffering from multiple stab wounds. He received transport from in front of his residence to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where doctors pronounced him dead at 5:22 a.m. Surveillance video captured a man, whom authorities have tabbed the prime suspect, strolling along the 2700 block of South Randolph Street a short time later, with the footage revealing him as a lightskinned black or Hispanic with a thin build and a beard. Ly’s relatives are offering a $5,000 reward through the Citizens Crime Commission, with the City of Philadelphia guaranteeing up to $20,000 for any information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the death. To report information, call the Crime Commission Tip line at 215-546-8477, or the Philadelphia Police Tip line at 215686-8477.

A burglar compromised operations at a Passyunk Square site Tuesday morning. At 4:48 a.m., the owner of Botanica Sigua, 1167 S. Ninth St., notified authorities that someone had broken the front door window of the location, with the opening bearing pry marks and the cash register open, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The proprietor and the law enforcement officials located a witness, who stated that at approximately 4:40 a.m., he heard glass break and upon investigating the source of the noise, saw a man inside the store near the register and immediately called the police. He classified the intruder as black, 40 to 50 years old and wearing all black clothing. No further information was available. The owner, Tolliver said, reported $200 missing from the cash register. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire? An East Passyunk Crossing physical therapy ofﬁce celebrates one of its own on national television. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

n aged patient forced his way up to the second oor of the Atlantic Physical Therapy ofces, 1208 Tasker St., slowly climbing the stairs with a cane, and when he got to the top he shouted “Where’s the celebrity?!” Michelle Friedman greeted him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, per her custom. Friedman, a 32-year-old Fairmount resident and longtime physical therapist for the East Passyunk Crossing office, had made her national television debut an hour before as a contestant on ABC’s “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?” She and her colleagues keep a television set tuned in to daytime television in the large, main room full of exercise equipment and tables, where patients from the area and beyond come for rehabilitation through guided movement. “My patients really inspired me to try out,” Friedman said after the viewing party and celebratory crew of staff and patients had cleared the room. “They’re always here during lunch, and it’s very mom-andpop friendly [here]. We get very close.” As the 12:30 p.m. Monday airtime approached, a few of the nearly 30 attendees were counting down the minutes aloud and shouting to staff and friends to get into the room as Cedric the Entertainer, the show’s syndicated host since last year, introduced Friedman “from Philadelphia.” Patients past and present and co-workers alike were rapt, watching and cheering as each question was answered correctly, some of them hoping to win $100 if they came close to guessing how much she’d win. Bob Ciullo, a 75-year-old patient from Belmar, N.J., took home a $100 bill for his guess of $12,000 – Friedman’s total winnings amounted to $13,000 for her appearance. She “walked away” after answering enough questions to get $26,000 “in the bank.” Ciullo had been seeing Friedman for help with his hands: “The best treatment I ever had.” All of his medical doctors are in South Philly, he said. “I guess I got lucky,” he smiled as he reluctantly accepted the crisp note Friedman squeezed into his hand. The retired U.S. Treasury Department program analyst and native of the 2200 block of South Rosewood Street says he’s “trying to live to 100.” Friedman was able to contain a great deal of secrecy and discretion in the lead-up to the viewing party.

Michelle Friedman (seated, center) won $13,000 on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and watched her episode with patients and co-workers, who encouraged her to audition at the Frankiln Mills Mall. S ta f f P h o t o b y B i l l C h e n e v e r t

“They just let me know a week and a half ago that I was going to be on today,” she said. “People have been asking me relentlessly.” “You sit with about 10 other contestants because they film a whole week in a day,” she explained of the process. “The other people were on months ago.” John Masciotro, a co-worker and exercise specialist in the office, is happy to see Friedman get a well-deserved extra chunk of change. “We’ve been waiting for months for this,” he said. “It’s about time and now she gets a nice bonus paycheck.” FRIEDMAN WENT UP to the Franklin Mills Mall alone for her test when a couple friends canceled after they celebrated her brother-inlaw’s birthday. She said it was fate because she just happened to have the day off. “They said 600 people showed up, and they take everyone into a massive room and give everyone a quiz, a 30-question quiz and you have 10 minutes to answer everything,” she detailed. They were “Millionaire” questions (multiple choice) and she must have done quite well. “I thought it was really easy because it was pop culture stuff, garbage like celebrity gossip and afterwards they held me back,” she said. The pool slimmed to 50 contestants, and she started getting nervous and excited. “You interview with one producer, a

10-minute interview about your personality, then a second one with a producer where they taped me and asked me interview questions. At this point there were three people left,” she divulged. “Did I just make it?” she thought. “Two weeks later I got a phone call, and they said I was going to be on the show.” In a week. Rohini Ghatge, another physical therapist co-worker, prepped her on lunch breaks. “I helped Michelle study a little bit and we’d quiz each other,” she said. Ghatge’s specialty was Disney movies, so she flooded her with storylines. “She had a trivia book that she bought and we’d go through random topics,” she added. “Keep in mind, I had six days to study,” Friedman interjected. In the episode, the contestant revealed that her sister helped by shining lights in her face to prepare her for the experience of answering questions in a live studio audience, a nearly 200-seat amphitheater space in Harlem, N.Y. The Bucks County native and biological anthropology major (“It’s comparative anatomy and evolutionary studies; a lot of apes and things,” she explained) from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. came back to Philadelphia for graduate school at Drexel University and has been “in the area” for 11 years this June. The question that did her in, smartly listening to her instincts and wanting to

walk away with some kind of cash, was a tricky Spanish language one: “Nokia made headlines whey they released their Lumia phone because ‘lumia’ is a Spanish slang word for what? A.) Prostitute, B.) Clown, C.) Nipple, or D.) Whiskey.” “Anyone know what ‘lumia’ is?” she asked the eagerly-watching crowd on Monday afternoon. “I thought this was a family show,” she joked to Cedric on air. She polled the audience and, quite literally, the answers were voted on nearly evenly, yielding a quarter of the audience voting for each option. “Not many people want to stay in therapy,” Ruthann Seccio, a resident of Shunk and South Juniper streets who’d been seeing Friedman for back pain relief, explained. “They make you feel like you’re part of the family — they worry about you.” There were lots of smiles, hugs and celebratory kisses before everyone departed. “Our patients love us – it’s great,” Erica Conallen, a Girard Estate resident and site office manager who supplied the viewing party with pizza from Isabella Pizza, 1824 E. Passyunk Ave., and fruit from Lang’s Fruit & Produce, 2101 S. 16th St., said. “We’re very much like a family with kisses and hugs, and it’s like that everyday.” Their “family” just got a little richer.

continued from page 1 characterized as a health educator. The Mural Arts Project’s Executive Director, Jane Golden, and Trotter were on hand at Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., last Wednesday to kick off the process of creating a mural that will not just honor his life’s work but continue it daily. Cathy Harris, the project manager who has worked on hundreds of projects over the past 12 years with the program, is excited to tackle this project for a number of reasons: “The [projects] I’ve enjoyed the most have been issue-driven.” She cited James Burns’ “Personal Renaissance” in North Philly, which targeted addiction and recovery, and the same artist’s “Finding The Light Within,” which addresses suicide prevention at 120 S. 30th St. White, or Air Smooth, as he came to be known due to his prolific work with Divine Beings, was a luminary in a number of communities, from recording to leadership and sex education. And this mural will seek to pull all of his various passions together: music, HIV, AIDS and STD prevention and holistic health awareness. In ’04, White earned a Master of Human Services from Lincoln University, and in ’11, he finished a Ph.D. from Capella University. In September of ’11, White successfully defended a dissertation entitled “Explore The Lived Sexual Experiences of Heterosexual African American Men At Risk For HIV Infection.” And one of the most innovative and successful ways that he found in terms of getting his message across? Barbershops. As co-chair of the University of Pennsylvania’s HIV prevention research division’s community advisory board, White led SHAPE UP: Barbers Building Better Brothers. The “safe space” became an urban opportunity to communicate a message – no one is immune. Eve Lewis, the vice president of corporate

TARIQ AND SHAWN grew up in South Philly. “I’m from here, South Philly born and raised,” Trotter said from the podium of Audenreid’s auditorium. “I’m from Seventh and McKean [streets] and 23rd and 24th and Watkins. I went to McDaniel and Vale and Southern. Shawn and I used to make music together in his grandmother’s basement at 22nd and Mifflin [streets]. He was very dedicated to the community, especially young African-American men.” Golden, who now works alongside Trot-

ter as a board member for the 30-year-old organization, praised Trotter for his downto-earth and humble connection to where he comes from: “He’s got a couple Grammy’s, and he’s on ‘The Tonight Show’ but he’s from here and he hasn’t forgotten us and we love him back,” she said, introducing him. “He said “Dr. Shawn White – read about him, Jane Golden, because I want to do a project about him” and the next thing we knew we were flying into action.” Perhaps Trotter was inspired by The Roots mural, completed two Decembers ago at 512 S. Broad St., which commemorated and cemented his band as one of the most influential in Philadelphia history. The mural sits not far from the Philadelphia High School for Creative Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., often cited as the official birth place of the influential hip-hop group. But it’s also clear that Trotter, like many others in the various fields where White’s work was influential, was deeply influenced simply by his spirit. In “Man to Man,” White, who succumbed

relations and marking for Universal Charter, was thrilled that Mural Arts and Tariq came to Audenreid asking for cooperation. “It’s just awesome to think that what he was trying to do was basically to give back and just help the young people and keep people alive,” she said. “I was just so happy when they called to ask us if we could be a part of it and the scholars here at Universal are young people who need to have heroes to look up to. And he was a really, really great role model.”

to heart disease last April, tells the camera: “I’m a thorough human being… Once you have something, you don’t just hold on to it, it’s your obligation to give back. I’m a funny guy; I’m an athlete; I’m a thinker; I’m a caring person; and I’m also very open.” Second District City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson grew up alongside White, as well, and shared praise for the man on film. “He lived around the corner from me, and I’ve always admired Shawn for his character,” Johnson told the camera. “Being one of the coolest and smoothest guys in the neighborhood, he was also well-educated and he was always positive.” The film also employed some hefty statistics from the American Heart Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “24.5 percent of all heart disease related deaths in the United States are African Americans,” “43 percent of African American men have high blood pressure,” and “Lifestyle choices such as: Unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, high stress, obesity, tobacco and alcohol consumption are contributing factors to high blood pressure.” Trotter, who escaped from the traps of guns, drugs, sex and violence so readily available to young people, has a full-circle perspective thanks to Mural Arts. Busted for graffiti writing just before entering high school, he was allowed to pay penance through its anti-graffiti movement that allowed citizens to give back by cleaning up public spaces. He went before a judge and was given a break, enrolling at CAPA through MAP’s community service. “It only added to my love and appreciation for the arts but it also gave me a deeper appreciation for my neighborhood and the beautification of where we live,” Trotter said. “I wanted to beautify and vandalize less. I hope that this mural and the workshops that we’ll be doing keep Shawn’s vision alive and that we need to keep better care of each other.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A Zell-ous endeavor A former East Passyunk Crossing resident is using a local controversy as his latest play’s crux. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

lone decision can cause a lifetime of rejoicing over or regretting one’s reasoning, but what of the lessons others can gather from that choice? Fond of that inquiry’s potency, A. Zell Williams penned “Down Past Passyunk,” a provocative play drawn from the 2006 incident through which Joey Vento, the now-deceased proprietor behind Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., demanded that patrons speak English when ordering. “I paid attention to my neighbors and their experiences,” the ex-resident of the 1600 block of South 10th Street said of his camaraderie with the community. “Because of that, I wanted to use recent history to tell a story unique and specific to them but also relatable to others.” The 30-year-old chose change, particularly the refusal by Vento to accept it as the demographics of his establishment’s neighborhood came to include an influx of Hispanics, as his chief challenge to channel to audiences. Running through April 27 at the Adrienne Theatre, the play marks his second politically-charged work for InterAct Theatre Co., for whom he debuted “In a Daughter’s Eyes,” a Mumia Abu-Jamal-inspired inspection of contemporary African-American experiences, in ’11, the same year of Vento’s death. “I wanted to write something that analyzed the price one can pay for remaining stagnant or stub-

LIFESTYLES born,” the former East Passyunk Crossing dweller said of his current brainchild, which he began scripting during the ’12 presidential election cycle. “It’s definitely a bit of a morality play because the Vento character, Nicky Grillo, is forced to understand his community role and the consequences of his stances.” Intensifying its composition as InterAct’s National New Play Networks Playwrightin-Residence, Williams, whose plot-executing peers include South Philly-based performers Brian Cowden and Alex Keiper and director Matt Pfeiffer, approached the piece as an examination of striving for accord where discord seemingly rules. In doing so, he has also gained more respect for what can come from seeing how addressing similarities and differences informs and strengthens notions of humanity, especially one’s own. “It’s our role as good citizens to try to understand where people are coming from,” the unrestrained writer said. “It’s perfectly fine to disagree, and we have to believe others are just as capable of exploring and explaining topics even if we don’t share mindsets or philosophies.” Wanting the play to feel as realistic as possible, Williams has greatly relied on its hires to infuse it with their knowledge of

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

local life and has granted it a script loyal to his allegiance to approaching language in a measured, deliberate fashion. Combining his colleagues’ expertise with his curiosity, Williams believes he has done far more than explore the viewpoints of Vento, whom he confessed one could definitely deem “a stubborn man of the past” for not acknowledging newness’ possibilities. “I’ve vowed to remain aware of the vast options we have when interacting with one another,” he said. “As a writer, it’s more interesting to be observant. If you’re not observing, you’re lecturing.” ONE COULD CONTEND Williams has always possessed a propensity for understanding diversity, as he hails from California, which never lacks for numerous cultures to contribute to its identity. Splitting time between Fresno and Stockton, he keenly analyzed local and national developments, centering on the manner of language used for their conveyance and convergence. “Comedy served as a huge inspiration and motivator,” he said of his writing origins, with George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Chris Rock as the leading laugh and thought providers. “Those were guys who could use brilliant words to express social matters and reach people to bring about change.”

A mammoth movie buff, Williams, a theater major when matriculating at Santa Clara University, believed he could encourage similar alterations among audiences and gravitated toward acting. Growing uncomfortable with waiting for compelling endeavors, he moved from memorizing lines to guiding their execution as a director but eventually became jaded with that task, too. “I find theater incredibly useful for sparking conversations,” Williams said of his resolute dedication to playwrighting. “There are incredible voices in the field, and I’m striving to learn from them and be an educator myself.” With well-documented political and theatrical identities, Chicago played a pivotal role in strengthening his skills, as he served as the African American Fellow in Theatre Management for the Windy City-situated Steppenwolf Theatre Co. and the Assistant to the Chair of Educational Policy Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Believing he became a discerning adult in the Midwest, he added East Coast tutelage to his maturation by acquiring a master’s degree from New York University. “We live in a time when it’s undeniably important to get at the core of who we are, what we believe in and what we feel we

can offer to push society forward,” Williams, who moved to South Philly shortly after his Empire State educational experience, said. “What makes us all human, what drives us? I’m looking at those questions all the time now.” Though he has left the area for New York City, where he is enjoying a Tow Foundation Emerging Playwright Residency for the Public Theater, the writer retains an interest in what he feels Philadelphians, especially South Philly inhabitants, must do to advance, which he tabbed as being more receptive to refinements, particularly if they find themselves tempted to change long-held beliefs on a topic. “We’re all contributors to the conversations if we want to be,” Williams, who for his New York assignment is penning a piece about a hip-hop superstar who yearns to create an urban memoir and is contemplating an adaptation of Moliere’s “The Misanthrope,” said. “We need to be involved. There are big things to address, and we can either confront them or let them dominate us. I know my choice.” SPR

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

The year without Easter

e was a lucky kid. There was no better place to grow up than South Philadelphia, and there was nothing like Easter week and the traditions that bound him to his family. Family was everything. His mom and his aunts would visit three churches on Holy Thursday. He loved being with them. He wasn’t quite sure why, but the number of churches you visited had to be an odd number. You never thought to ask why. The worship sites were different places at night than on Sunday morning. Even though they were neighborhood churches, it was as if he had never seen them before. Somehow they were more solemn, somehow more beautiful. Afterward, his mother and aunts would discuss which church looked more beautiful. Good Friday imposed a sad significance on him. His mom was not so strict, but his best friend was not allowed to play games that day, so the boy also spent the day quietly. No stickball. No board games. Just waiting for 3 p.m. and the Stations of the Cross. Quiet can be devastating to a boy. The Stations bothered him, as he hated reliving the brutal way the Romans treated Jesus Christ and the weakness of Pontius Pilate. He cringed at every detail, from the burden of the heavy cross amidst the taunts of the mob to the agony of the crucifixion. Secretly he always hoped that at the last moment some superhero would save Jesus, but it always ended the same way, with Jesus whispering, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” How could Jesus forgive them? How could he ever hope to be as good as Jesus? He loved the brightly dyed hard-boiled eggs they colored the night before Easter. Mom wrapped faux straw baskets filled with Easter candy in purple cellophane for the boy and his sister. His father always found an opening in the wrapping where he would filch candy. By Easter, the baskets were almost empty, forcing his mother to refill them. One year she finally decided to set aside a big plate of candy just for Dad. She even included a large coconut cream egg decorated with his name. She chided him as being just another big kid. But that didn’t stop Dad from conducting midnight raids on their baskets. Unlike some of his friends, his parents always bought him an Easter outfit each year. Ev-

eryone got all dressed up for the holiday back then. How strange to see his friends in suits and ties with their hair slicked back with Brylcreem (“a little dab will do you”). The girls wore bonnets, skirts, blouses and “Mary Jane” shoes. Everyone looked around to see how the others were dressed when they entered church on Easter Sunday morning. And then one year when he was ten years old, he missed Easter. Glorious spring came that year as it always did. His father took him to South Street to Benny Krass for his outfit. The suit was sort of mustard colored, but the enthusiasm of the salesman somehow convinced Dad the suit was meant for the boy. The worker suggested a lavender shirt and coordinated tie. In no time at all, his father agreed to the purchase, and they were on their way home. Mom wasn’t as convinced as Dad about the suit, but she went along. When she shopped for his clothes, Mom scrutinized the prices for what seemed like hours before making a decision. Dad tended to agree with the salesman. It began with a bad sore throat. His tongue turned scarlet. It all happened so quickly. The doctor advised that the boy had scarlet fever. A quarantine sign was posted on the front door. The ambulance arrived at his home with its sirens screeching. The whole neighborhood seemed to gather in front of his house when they took him out on a stretcher and sped him off to Children’s Hospital. The boy spent three weeks at the facility. He was not able to return to school for the rest of the term. It meant he would miss playing a part in the school play. Because of the fear of contagion, his school books were burned. His mother fed him a raw egg each morning and a malted milk with a banana chopped up in it for lunch. She worried about his weight loss (he would never be underweight again the rest of his life). He remembers spending the week leading into Easter in bed. Somehow when his parents told him he would not be celebrating Easter the way he did each year, he was able to hold back the tears. Boys didn’t cry, especially in front of their fathers. Time has passed. The boy is now a grandfather. The family he loved those Easters long ago are all gone. Luckily, he now has his own family. Spring still comes each year carrying with it the beauty of Easter. So why is it, he wonders, that he still looks back on that one year so long ago? Why is it he is unable to forget that Easter he lost, that Easter he can never retrieve, that day when there was nothing sadder than seeing his mustard-colored suit hanging in the closet? That year without Easter. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Tom (Christian Slater) and Jim (Morgan Freeman) are up to their necks in water and bewilderment in Mikael Salomon’s 1998 thriller.

Dropping in ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ere is the perfect viewing queue for the days of April showers.

Frankenstein A thunderstorm isn’t just backdrop in James Whale’s 1931 horror classic “Frankenstein,” it’s essential. After all, if it weren’t for a certain bolt of lightning, Henry Frankenstein’s (Colin Clive) famed monster (Boris Karloff) would never have walked with undead arms outstretched. Aptly, water is a life-giver, and no one proclaims “It’s alive!” amid a stormy atmosphere like Dr. Frankenstein. Hard Rain What do you get when you mix the prestige of Morgan Freeman and the increasing B-movie appeal of Christian Slater? According to this ’98 Indiana-set disaster flick, a whole lot of precipitation. One wonders how much better “Hard Rain” would have been if John Woo, originally slated as director, had helmed the film instead of Mikael Salomon, but one still can’t beat a movie that features men on jet skis zooming through flooded high school hallways. The Crow “It can’t rain all the time,” says Sarah (Rochelle Davis), the teenager who befriends Eric Draven (Brandon Lee), a res-

urrected widower, in Alex Proyas’s ’94 cult adaptation of the comic book series “The Crow.” And yet, it indeed seems to rain all the time in the crime drama’s Detroit setting, and given that this was the film on which Lee lost his life (he was shot with a gun that mistakenly wasn’t loaded with blanks), the dour downpour seems eerily prescient. Jumanji Among the many maladies that befall the board-game-playing characters in ’95’s “Jumanji,” the film adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg’s beloved picture book, the most devastating is an indoor monsoon, which, if you’re willing to suspend your disbelief, winds up flooding an entire neighborhood. GENE KELLYM And you thought a round of Monopoly IN SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN was strenuous. Singin’ in the Rain It’s tempting to reach for something more original here, but try as one might, there’s just no more iconic rain-related flick than ’52’s immortal musical classic. Starring co-director Gene Kelly as Don Lockwood, the besuited man who eventually delivers history’s most famous soaking-wet song-and-dance, it’s the sort of high-spirits film that makes you want to jump in puddles.

On the scene By Tom Conway Columnist

#Tankadelphia

incentivizing winning. I think most people are in agreement that a system incentivizing losing is wrong on some level.” The 76ers own plans to tank became clear last year when they shipped all star guard Jrue Holiday to New Orleans for a rehabbing, though promising, young big man in former University of Kentucky star Nerlens Noel. In-season trades of Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes for little to no return led to an even lower point, and set the stage for their record-tying losing streak (the ’10-11 Cleveland Cavilers also dropped 26 straight after losing James to the Miami Heat) — providing real impetus for Cohen’s movement and fueling the negative social media chatter that has dominated the season. Twitter is typically awash with fans that aren’t sure how to feel after a loss. The hashtag #tankadelphia has become a popular one for articulating both embarrassment and a strange joy after yet another 76ers loss. More than making a splash with league brass on this issue, Cohen has higher aspirations. Philly is a town full of crowd noise and strong opinions, but what it largely amounts to is white noise and frustration. Teams hardly take notice. “We want to change the dialogue between fans, teams and players. We want to make it substantive so it’s not just banter,” Cohen said. “To aggregate all the voices saying the same thing into one place, that could create a real conversation.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/ features.

record-tying 26-game losing streak, an 18-63 record in a historically bad Eastern Conference, placing 29th in league attendance, and, with the season having ended after press time last night, only a 19.9 percent chance at landing the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft — all part of a successful 2013-14 campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers in the eyes of President and General Manager Sam Hinkie. Tanking, or the process of trotting out a largely non-competitive team with the hopes of increasing the odds to land atop the draft, is far from a novel strategy. Employed previously, it has yielded the likes of Tim Duncan and LeBron James, instantly making title contenders of team’s set to be stuck in mediocrity, at best, for years. But as tanking has become more thinly veiled than ever, talk of changing a system that encourages losing has heightened and one 76ers fan has decided to take the movement right to the league commissioner. “[Allen] Iverson stepping over [Tyronn] Lue in the ['01] NBA Finals was the iconic moment for me,” Drew Cohen, a lifelong 76ers fan and founder of nbarrassing.com, said. “I’ve watched them religiously and have been to so many games. I don’t blame the Sixers front office or any other for taking advantage of the status quo, but I do blame the league and the system.” Cohen’s website takes a grassroots, political style approach in an attempt to reform the draft. The goal is 10,000 signatures advocating for change, and if it is achieved they’ll present it to Commissioner Adam Silver at the draft. Along with the chance to sign, the website details alternative plans that have been suggested. Ideas include rewarding teams with the best records after elimination from playoff contention with higher picks, freezing the draft order after the all-star break, and even predetermining the draft order 30 years in advance. Which does Cohen prefer? “I’m in favor of any system that doesn’t incentivize losing. Aside from those on the site, we get so many people e-mailing us different ideas and other tweaks to plans,” he said. “The question is how to balance struggling teams’ chances in the draft with

Tina’s Braided Asparagus Pesto Bread

Sweet cause

aving seen numerous Internet-based braided bread recipes lately, Tina Garceau noted she was itching to craft one and called upon asparagus, always a spring favorite, to yield what she considers a “rustic” loaf. The resident of the 1000 block of Carpenter Street said the smell as it baked made her never want to leave the kitchen, with the product producing the best toast she has ever eaten. Go green, everyone! SPR

INGREDIENTS: For the bread: 1 package of dry yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) 1/3 cup of warm water 1 tablespoon of sugar 5 cups of white ﬂour 4 tablespoons of butter, cut into pieces 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt 1-1/3 cups of ice water

For the pesto: 1 bunch of asparagus 1-1/2 cups of basil leaves 2 cloves of garlic 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt

1/4 cup of walnuts 4 to 5 tablespoons of olive oil 1/4 cup of freshly grated Locatelli or Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Stir the sugar and yeast into the warm water in a two-cup measure. Let stand for ﬁve to seven minutes, until foamy. Use the plastic blade in the Cuisinart to process the ﬂour, butter and salt for 25 seconds. Add ice water to yeast mixture. With the machine running, slowly pour the liquid through the feed tube. Run it until the dough forms a ball. Then run for an additional minute to knead the dough. Shape the dough into a ball, and place in a plastic

Remove from heat, and transfer into an ice bath. Add asparagus, basil, garlic, salt, walnuts, cheese and olive oil in the food processor, and pulse until blended. Makes about one cup. Punch down the dough, and divide in half. On a lightly ﬂoured surface, roll out dough into a 10-by-18-inch rect-

Cover with oiled plastic wrap, return to a warm place for 45 minutes. Dough should rise above the top of the pans. Remove plastic wrap, and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes, until the top is browned. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack. Makes two loaves.

Topping the pizza list ■ By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

ew foods invoke more passion than pizza. People have strong convictions about how they want their pie prepared. This gift from Naples, Italy made its way to our shores after World War II when GIs arrived home and longed for the classic yeast dough that was formed into a crust, topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked in a very hot oven. New York and Philadelphia quickly became pizza havens. Chicago came along but the pie makers in the Windy City decided to create an original — the deep dish pizza. The way in which we eat pizza varies from city to city. New Yorkers like to fold a slice over and enjoy. Most Philadelphians just take a bite and proceed. Scolding those Americans who eat pizza with a knife and fork is everywhere, but I recently saw a program on Naples that taught me natives eat it the same way. That said, it’s time to travel through Philadelphia and give thanks for those who truly know how to bake one of life’s greatest culinary pleasures.

with pizza, and Birra’s Caesar was a tasty version. The chefs add frico, crispy slices of fried shards of Parmesan to the salad. The restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients, which is a plus. Birra 1700 E. Passyunk Ave. 267-324-3127 birraphilly.com

ostalgia is in the air at Gennaro’s Tomato Pie, specifically the 1940s and ’50s. Don’t be surprised if you hear jazz, Frank Sinatra and many of the greats entertaining patrons over the sound system. This corner BYOB offers a marvelous antipasto with imported meats and cheeses. The crust on their pies are thin and crisp. I like a white pizza prepared with spinach, garlic and a touch of olive oil. Save room for their homemade desserts. Gennaro’s Tomato Pie 1429 Jackson St. 215-463-5070 gennarostomatopie. com

e leave South Philly and head over to Fairmount where chef Marc Vetri opened Pizzeria Vetri in September. Customers can sit at the circular counter, sip a beer or glass of wine and watch the masters at work. The pies have a thin, crisp crust and are baked in a wood-burning oven. Vetri is a stickler for fresh local ingredients, although the gorgonzola and fontina he uses is an Italian import. The four cheese pizza is an unusual mix of gorgonzola, mozzarella, smoked provolone and fontina. The tang of gorgonzola mixed with mild mozzarella, the smoky flavor of provolone and the nutty flavor of fontina play off one another with each mouthful. Sausage pizza is another winner. It consists of fennel sausage, roasted fennel, tomato and fresh mozzarella. Fennel imparts a mild anise flavor that I enjoy, but never had it topped on a pizza. He takes an Italian twist with Caesar salad substituting escarole for romaine and topping it with bagna cauda,

hen Birra opened a few years ago, I sensed this place was going to be one fine dining experience. It was. The restaurant has a full bar with wines by the glass and a number of beers on tap. Beer and pizza go well together. I tucked into a pie prepared with roast duck and sampled a classic margherita that brought smiles all around. The crust is thin and crisp.

liCE has two locations and offers thin crust pizzas with a variety of toppings. I like its white pies and classic margherita along with jumbo tossed salads and Caesar salad. There’s not much atmosphere, but who cares? The pizza arrives fresh and piping hot from the oven. The restaurant is BYOB.

Let’s go clubbing A Pennsport baseball team erupted for 16 hits and 18 runs to score its ﬁrst win. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

riday’s forecast called for occasional gusts of wind to cause challenging conditions, but the lone sort of whipping that occurred resulted in happy athletes and not harassed hairdos. Showing it can come to make as much noise as air molecules, the Horace Furness High School baseball team, 1900 S. Third St., used 16 hits to blow out Fels 18-6 at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets, for its rst victory. “We’re off the schneid,” seventh-year coach Eric Weinstein said to his charges, who despite having entered with an 0-3 mark had a run differential of only minus five. “When you take advantage of opportunities, this is the kind of result you can expect.” The South Jersey resident and gym and health teacher at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., could commend numerous contributors to the cause, as the Falcons registered seasonhigh hit and run totals. The Division-B contest offered the Public League representatives more than a chance to garner their inaugural triumph, as it also endowed them with an opportunity to show their mix of new and established talent can prove potent. “We’ve become good friends pretty fast, so if we maintain our confidence, we’ll click even more,” second baseman Jose Luis, who joins center fielder Mateen Bradley to form Freshman Power for Weinstein, said of how they have worked to have pride in their efforts no matter the results. The resident of the 2300 block of South Mildred Street entered

his Pennsport school’s annals April 2 by whiffing 22 Mastbaum hitters in a 3-2 extra-inning defeat. That figure eclipsed the 20 strikeouts that Joey Gorman, who went on to baffle batters for Ss. NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., notched in 2009 versus Engineering and Science and gave Weinstein plenty of evidence of his receptivity to having an immediate role. For Friday’s game, though, the coach gave the ball to senior hurler Jose Gil, a cousin of ’13 graduate Agustin Gil, who last year claimed divisional MVP honors. The right-hander, like his squad, was seeking a first, as he had yet to win a high school game. Lower Moyamensing’s Luis presented the pitcher and his mates with a display of his versatility in the first when the Falcons, playing as the road team because Fels lacks a home field, grabbed a 1-0 lead via senior first baseman Khaid Jones’ single that scored the freshman, who had singled and swiped second. Gil yielded the tying run in the bottom of the frame and four more tallies in the second inning before his peers swooped in to mount a comeback and commence the conquering of the Panthers. “Early on, yeah, it didn’t look good, but we know we had to compete every time at the plate,” senior third baseman Nick Collis, who plays for the team courtesy of a School District of Philadelphia sponsorship agreement that benefits

other learners from The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., said of outscoring their foes 17-1 after going down by a quartet of scores. “Offensively, I don’t think we have too many problems as long as we concentrate.” THE INHABITANT OF the 2100 block of Montrose Street doubled in the third to advance leadoff man and junior right fielder Steve Perez to third, with the latter scoring on an error and the former returning to the bench on a sacrifice fly by junior shortstop and two-time All-Public pick Marshall Drummond. After an intriguing home half that saw Gil escape a no-out, bases loaded jam by starting a double play and inducing a force out, the teams exchanged relatively quick fourth-inning hacks before the Falcons started to make their hosts wonder when they could catch their bus ride out of South Philly. “I’m really not sensing that your concentration level is at 100 percent,” Weinstein said of their facing a deficit. “Hit good pitches.” Having generated 12 runs in a one-run setback to Marianna

PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php Bracetti April 4, the teenagers definitely know how to be selective and feasted on fat offerings in the fifth, with five players accepting kudos for navigating the base paths. As it seems no lead is ever safe in the widely unpredictable world of Public League baseball, they quickly responded in the sixth to Fels’ narrowing the score to 8-6 by blasting seven runs, the highlight coming when Collis crushed a bases-clearing double, his second knock of the frame. “We definitely have some stuff to work on, like defense,” the South of South denizen said following the tilt, which featured three Furness errors, “but once we do that, we’re going to be one of the best teams.” A hairy home sixth fortunately found no Panthers charging home, and the Falcons pecked at their prey in their final swings by scoring three more times, with Luis and Gil singling to up their combined output to seven hits, four for the younger player. The older roster member finished the affair with a rapid seventh inning that included two punchouts and received ample congratulations for his achievement. “A game like this is big,” Collis, who collected three hits, as many runs batted in, two runs and the same number of doubles, said. “I feel as if we could go on a roll.” The Falcons will host Roxborough Monday at 3:15 p.m. SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

PRAYER

novena to the holy spirit

Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately.

NoveNas J.Q.

5 Day NoveNa to St. thereSa St. Theresa, The Little Flower. Please pick me a rose form the heavenly garden, and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I implore and tell him I will love him daily more and more. This prayer is to be followed by 5 Hail Mary’s, 5 Our Father’s and 5 Gloria’s. The prayer is to be said by 11 AM daily for 5 days. On the 5th day you will receive a single rose or more in some form, but only if your favor is to be granted. Take note of what you have promised, if God grants the favor you implore. J.D.h

NoveNas

Thank You St.Theresa & God for Answering Novena

PUBLIC NOTICE

FIVE-YEAR REVIEW GIRARD POINT MANAGEMENT AREA NAVAL STATION PHILADELPHIA, PA The Department of the Navy, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), has begun a third five-year review of the remedy implemented at the Girard Point Management Area Landfill at the former Naval Station Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the five-year review is to ensure that the selected remedy for this Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) site is effectively protecting public health and the environment. The five-year review process is mandated under CERCLA (also known as Superfund)for sites where the selected remedial action results in contaminants remaining above levels that do not allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. The information gathered will be evaluated to determine whether the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment. It is anticipated that the five-year review process will be completed in June 2014, and a final report will be available at that time. The Navy will conduct interviews, review reports, and assess site conditions to evaluate if the remedies remain protective of human health and the environment. Public participation is encouraged and welcomed. If you are interested in participating in the interview process, please contact the BRAC Environmental Coordinator.

FOR MORE INFORMATION If you have any questions, or wish to discuss the project, please contact Mr. Paul Burgio, BRAC Environmental Coordinator at 4911 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19112 or phone (215) 897-4903.
