Toynbee tiles still fascinate An anonymous artist with a mysterious message that reached millions started it all in South Philly.

t all started right here in South Philly, it seems, on the 2600 block of South Seventh Street. At least that’s what three devoted researchers discovered after years of hunting for a mysterious tiler responsible for the Toynbee tiles of Philadelphia. All three convened at the Whitman Branch, 200 Snyder Ave., Monday to talk

about their long-time passion — getting to the bottom of the meaning and source of mysterious mosaic tiles embedded into our streets with an extremely mystifying set of phrases: “Tonybee Idea. In Movie 2011. Resurrect Dead. On Planet Jupiter.” There are hundreds and they’re not just in Philadelphia. They’ve been dropped into streets with a markedly innovative technique from Boston to Kansas City and Detroit to Buenos Aires. The

Toynbee’s (the “Toynbee idea” reference) “Experiences,” published at the end of the ’60s by Oxford University Press. The tiles themselves are about the size of a license plate and carved out of linoleum. As Colin See TOYNBEE page 10 >>

What is your best memory/thoughts of working with Brendan Moss?

“Watching Brendan surf successive waves of technical change in graphics production without missing a beat … or losing his cool!” Anthony A. Clifton, Chairman/CEO

“Brendan was a true professional and a class act. His dedication and loyalty to the company and the community through so many years and so much change is what I will most remember him for.” John Gallo, COO

rendan, my friend, today, the running joke finally comes to an end. Over the last several years, you would say “this is my last special issue.” But you always seemed to come back for another, as well as the next one after that. I was waiting for you to throw out that famous Roger Murtaugh line from the “Lethal Weapon” movies … “I am getting too old for this …” Well, after this year’s Spring Guide, it seems you finally meant it. I finally heard the word “retirement” come out of your mouth. After 39 years and 2,000-plus issues, I would say you’ve earned the right to say farewell to the place that has been your home away from home over the nearly past four decades.

There will be no more fighting for premium parking spots in front of the office (much appreciated), walking to Good Flavor to restock your beverage supply or staying late on Tuesday nights. Boy, have times changed since you’ve started. It seemed like it wasn’t all that long ago that you would be sitting in the production department pasting the weekly edit pages and ads to the boards. On Wednesdays, a gentleman who strikingly resembled Santa’s twin brother would be sitting in the corner ready to drive the finished product to the printer. When the times changed to the Internet age, you didn’t lose your award-winning touch. Each week, the issue would start as a blank canvas with

your color palate, text, fonts and images all off to the side. Just like the great Salvador Dali or Paul Gauguin, every Thursday, you delivered an eye-catching product that the readers couldn’t wait to see. When it came time to redesign the product like a fresh coat of paint on a house, it wasn’t about making subtle changes. This was a several-months-in-work process that included several revisions until the production maestro finally had the look that he was willing to share with the readers. I believe there was one editor that would be an annoying nudge asking “when is it going to be ready?” Looking back, you weren’t just the art director. If promotional material needed to be done for a special event or issue, you took on the additional task without hesitation. If a new logo or icon needed to be designed for the website, not only did you do it, but you put a lot of thought into the effort. There was even an occasion in which you designed ads in the middle of the

night. Thanks for the occasional input with headlines. Occasionally, we would sit back and take our mind off work. Some days we would have enjoyable, sometimes humorous conversations about stuff that had absolutely nothing to do about work. Some days the conversation took a morbid tone of “did you hear who died?” while other days you would bypass the typical greeting with a “how was the soup?” Other times we would chat it up about vacation plans or family. As of today, I look over to your corner of the office and find it hard to believe that I am not going to see you next week. I will no longer be getting those phone calls from the expressway to turn off the space heater underneath your desk. (Are you sure you don’t want it as a parting gift?) Brendan, my friend, you are leaving a mark on this company that I don’t think will ever be matched. You’re a legend. Enjoy retirement!

Straightened out A man with ties to an alleged Packer Park mobster received a sentence of time served Monday. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

ouis “Bent Finger Lou” Monacello, who had been facing more than five years in prison based on 2011 guilty pleas for loan-sharking and racketeering conspiracy, had his assistance in the prosecution case against reputed mob boss and Packer Park resident Joseph “Uncle Joe” Ligambi rewarded, as U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno sentenced him to time served. Published reports contend that the 47-year-old will receive his release for testifying before a grand jury and in two federal trials. According to the grand jury testimony, Monacello, who lived in a former vacation home on the Jersey Shore prior to the matter, revealed that over a seven-year period, he delivered as much as $40,000 in yearly proceeds through deposits to a prison commissary account for George Borgesi, a Ligambi nephew on whose prosecution he also provided help, or through car glovebox-left endowments of cash-stuffed envelopes. He added the money came from his heading an illegal gambling and loansharking operation for Borgesi, who, like Ligambi, earned his release in January after authorities failed to secure convictions on gambling, loan-sharking, obstruction of justice, racketeering conspiracy and theft of medical benefits claims.

No pocket protection Rifling through his pockets initiated thugs’ assault and robbery of a man in Point Breeze last week. Authorities responded at 4:04 p.m. April 24 to a call of an incident in progress on the 1500 block of South 24th Street, where they located the complainant unresponsive on the highway, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He noted that while he waited for a bus, an unknown man asked to use his phone. When he refused, another stranger arrived and went through his pockets. The victim soon engaged in a struggle with the foreigners and several other men, who aided in punching and kicking him until he blacked out, Tolliver said. He sustained severe swelling to his left eye and bruising to his right orb and complained of pain to his entire body. He counted his Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and $350 missing, and described the first offender

as black, 5-foot-10 and wearing a black or blue hoody and blue jeans. He classified the second as black, 5-foot-9 and wearing all black clothing. No further descriptions were available. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Aiming to displease Grays Ferry-situated gunshots left a car and a home damaged Friday. At approximately 2:15 p.m., police responded to the intersection of Tasker and South Etting streets for a report of highway-based gunshots, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first complainant, who was traveling southbound in his car on South Etting Street, stated he saw a black male, perhaps 16 to 20 years old, shooting at another black male before running westbound on South Etting Street from Tasker. She added that the gunfire damaged the front bumper and radiator of her 2006 Ford Escape. The other complainant, Tolliver said, revealed the front window of her residence, located on the 1500 block of South Etting Street, also sustained damage. Authorities reported no injuries yet have no descriptions of the participants. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Tooling around A Point Breeze man is behind bars for allegedly striking another male with a shovel on Saturday. At 8:30 p.m., the complainant stated he became the victim of a blow from the tool while on the 2200 block of Titan Street. He revealed, according to Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division, that he was outside a residence when the supposed offender, who is the ex-husband of his present girlfriend, approached him to incite an argument about his treatment of his new mate. The victim states the detained figure first punched him, then used the shovel to strike him twice in the back of the head before fleeing the area. Using relayed information, authorities stopped someone matching the reported offender’s description and arrested 40-year-old Samuel Edwards on the 2100 block of Sigel Street after a positive identification, Tolliver said. The complainant received transport to Methodist Hospital, where, in addi-

tion to needing help for a laceration to the back of his head, he revealed he could not feel his legs. This prompted a transfer to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Police charged Edwards, of the same block where they apprehended him, with possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and two counts of assault. He awaits a May 13 hearing and had not posted his $50,000 bail as of press time.

Infamous image

9:30 a.m. the next day that someone had broken out a basement window and had removed wood that had been covering an air conditioner. Nobody had gained access to the location, and nothing was missing. At 9 a.m. that same day, officers fielded a call from Johnnie’s Restaurant, 2240 S. 12th St., and learned someone had forced open a rear door window and had made off with $100 from behind the counter. For the final occasion, police arrived at Scannicchio’s Italian Restaurant, 2500 S. Broad St., April 2 and learned the complainant had arrived at the eatery at 11 a.m. and inspected an unknown person trying to gain entry by prying open the rear door. He reported nothing taken. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Hair-raising experience A return trip from the hairdresser turned unfortunate for a Newbold woman. At 5 p.m. April 17, the complainant was walking northbound on Rosewood Street after a stop at a hairdresser at the intersection of Jackson and South Rosewood streets when a man approached her from behind and tried to pull her purse off her shoulder, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She resisted, leading him to push her to the ground, from which he took the desired item before running southbound on South Rosewood Street. The older adult relayed that she saw only the offender’s tan work boots. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

The cynical cyclist A man became a cyclist’s victim in Pennsport two weeks ago. The complainant told authorities that at 10:30 p.m. April 18, he was walking along the 2000 block of East Moyamensing Avenue when an unknown person operating a bike approached him from behind and used an unknown object to strike him in the head, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The blow knocked him semi-unconscious, which left the aggressor the time to nab $200. The complainant received transport to Methodist Hospital for a head injury.

Authorities are hoping the included image can lead to the arrest of a man sought in nine commercial burglaries committed throughout South Philly last month. Five of the incidents occurred last week, beginning with a 3:17 a.m. call to authorities on April 22 from Le Virtu, 1927 E. Passyunk Ave., where they found an empty cash register on the site’s block. Someone had forced open the front door lock and taken $100. At 11:40 a.m. the Surveillance video same day, the proprietor of Green Olives Cafe, 1941 E. Passyunk Ave., told law enforcement agents he noticed someone had tried to force open the front window with an unknown object. He had secured the business at 11:30 the previous night. At 11 a.m. the same day, the owner of Adobe Cafe, 1919 E. Passyunk Ave., reported $500 removed from a jukebox, adding he had closed the eatery at midnight. The overseer of Fuel, 1917 E. Passyunk Ave., likewise met with authorities at 7:30 that morning to tell them he had reported to the spot to find the front door lock pried open and $150 missing from the cash register. He had closed the business nine hours before their arrival. The final April 22 interaction with police occurred at Johnny Chang’s, 2601 S. Broad St., where, at 5:29 a.m., the owner found the front door forced open and $200 missing. These matters join the following incidents: authorities responded to a radio call at 7:08 p.m. April 2 and ventured to the Philadelphia Pretzel Factory, 1410 McKean St. They learned from the complainant that as he tried to close the establishment, he noticed the doors would not set correctly to lock. The site’s security system captured an unknown black male fleeing from the area after unsuccessful attempts to pry open doors and a service window. In the second matter, the complainant, from Los Gallos, 951 Wolf St., stated he secured all windows and doors at 11 p.m. April 1 and discovered upon returning at

Sharing is caring Philadelphia bike share will launch next spring with 60 stations and 600 bikes. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

n April 24, Mayor Michael A. Nutter, along with Deputy Mayor for Transportation and Utilities Rina Cutler, announced the City of Philadelphia would be implementing a long-anticipated bike share system with a spring 2015 launch. The City is putting forth $3 million in an initial capital investment but with the explicit idea that no other City monies will be used after the initial investment. That responsibility will fall, primarily, on two of the winners of the City’s Request for Proposals: Bicycle Transit Systems and B-Cycle. With 60 stations and 600 bikes, the program will essentially function as its own transit system, but will help let Philadelphians make connections that gaps in service and distances from stops make challenging. For as little as $100 a year, bike share users will be able to pick up a bike at their closest station and leave it at another station nearest their destination. Talk of a bike share program has been in the media with ample requests from cycling advocates for years. But it seems like the wait might be worth it, as a handful of bike share programs have struggled due to insufficient support. “We’re definitely the last big city to be implementing bike share, and the nice thing about that is that you have the capacity to learn from what lots of other systems have done,” Mark Doty, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia’s executive director, said. “I will be very glad to not have the problems that other cities have encountered. We’re not going to get it 100 percent right on the first day, but there’s a lot that’s been figured out about bike share in other cities that Philadelphia will learn from and continue to learn from.” All the details are still getting worked out, primarily by Alison Cohen’s team at Bicycle Transit Systems. She’s helped usher in bike share systems to Australia, Washington, D.C., Boston, and, with notoriously excessive media attention, New York City. “There were a core group of us that were key to the beginning of all of those systems, and I was able to bring them with me to help form Bicycle Transport Systems,” she said. “We are technically a new company, but if you add up the number of years of experience, it’s more than anyone else in the industry.” She calls Mount Airy home and said her

With 32 cities in the U.S. using bike share, Philadelphia makes another stride towards worldclass status with the Spring 2015 launch of a new, affordable mode of transportation. Photo Provided by B-Cycle

general manager would be moving to Philadelphia within the next couple months. Over the next year, she’ll start hiring a crew to staff and trouble-shoot the system for the city. In fact, a healthy amount of jobs will be created in the coming year, but in the meantime, she’s focused on building the city’s trust and enthusiasm. “We’re about a year out now, and we’re going to be able to take the next year to responsibly identify the stations and do the community involvement work that should be done, and get everyone on board prior to the system being launched,” she said. But the promise of a headquarters is thrilling. “As contracts get going, we’ll be establishing a warehouse/office/call center headquarters,” Cohen said. “That location is to be determined right now, but we’re going to be establishing our headquarters [here] and hiring a lot of folks to help run the system.” THOUGH PHILADELPHIANS HAVE been frothing at the mouth for an affordable bike share program for years, and there are 32 other bike sharing cities in the U.S. already, the Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utility’s Andrew Stober is confident in the timeline. “It’s a six-month timeline to get bikes ordered and stations delivered, and it doesn’t make sense to launch the system in the

winter,” he noted. “We think it’s important that we start off with a core network of stations that’s large enough to serve a significant number of trips and then build out from there.” The hope is that by ’16 there may be as many as 100 stations and 2,000 bikes. And there will be an app that will make sure that one’s closest station has a bike and that one’s destination station is waiting with a dock. “You can absolutely expect that here,” Stober said. The bikes themselves are designed by Trek and Trek’s B-Cycle technologies will keep the system functioning smoothly. Bob Burns, B-Cycle’s president, described them as ideal for the sake of transit. They’re modeled on bike share bikes from around the world. They’ll be “One size fits all with an easily adjustable indexed seat; internal gears in three-speed rear hubs; front and rear lights that are powered by the front hub so they’re always on and stay on after the rider stops in case the rider’s stopped at a red light; baskets for your purse or briefcase or baguette and bottle of wine from the market,” Burns said. “They’re designed to be and do what they do, which is to provide transit a form of public transit.” The stations should be brand new, as well, tricked out with brand new technologies. “Philadelphia will be the first city in

the world to launch with that station,” Burns said. Doty and Stober are enthusiastic about the options that bike share will provide, not only for existent bike riders, but also for those seeking affordable transit options. Philadelphia’s will aim to be one of the first to accommodate those without a bank or credit card. “The credit card requirement is very important for bike share in terms of accountability, but we’re going to create a different means of accountability, and it doesn’t have to be through a credit card,” Cohen explained. “It may be through a local organization that they’re involved in and just because they don’t have a credit card does not mean that they should not be able to use bike share.” The program will open options for tourists, commuters who round-trip through Suburban Station and lifers alike. “Bicycling has been consistently growing in Philadelphia over the last decade or more and certainly we’ve seen that in other cities bike share accelerates growing in bicycling,” Doty said. “Particularly for South Philly, I think bicycling is one of the great advantages that South Philly has over the rest of the world. Per capita, it’s one of the most bicycled neighborhoods in the United States.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

continued from page 1 Smith described them Monday, they’re like a sandwich. “You have your carved linoleum, which is the meat of the sandwich, the mayo is crack-filler,” he told the Whitman audience, tar paper on the top and bottom serving as the bread. “From the pressure of car tires and foot traffic, and also the heat from the summer sun, which liquefies the asphalt ever so slightly,” you get a firmly-embedded mosaic tile melted into asphalt that emerges when the tar paper has eroded. And what does it all mean? It’s what drove Justin Duerr mad with curiosity back in the early ’80s when he came to South Street as a 16-year-old high school dropout and runaway. Duerr, an artist, Toynbee expert and archivist, is the primary character in an award-winning 2011 documentary by Jon Foy called “Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles.” In the piece, he says the first time he ever noticed a Toynbee Tile was on South Street; he was in a “squat on Fifth and Bainbridge [streets] at the time, a squat full of 17-year-old runaways.” He took a job as a foot courier with Kangaroo Couriers and started seeing them all over the city. It was in 1995 and ’96 that he started going to the public library to use the Internet. “Toynbee idea was the first thing I ever typed into a search engine,” Duerr says to the camera. Images flash across the screen in this scene as he starts to find listings for the tiles: Ninth and Shunk [streets], 11th [Street] and Oregon [Avenue], Broad [Street] and Oregon [Avenue]. He started photographing and documenting tiles with his girlfriend and found them in Times Square and at the foot of the Holland Tunnel. The tiles themselves still didn’t really make any sense to him, but it was his burning curiosity and drive to understand them that brought him in front of the camera for a Cannesaward winning documentary (for Best Direction: Documentary) and to Steve Weinik and Smith, who as a team, would come just shy of catching the mysterious tiler. Until they realized that maybe they should stop trying to find him. And that maybe he didn’t want to be found. LIKE DUERR SETS forth in the film, the four elements of a standard Toynbee tile make sense alone but not together. You’ve got Toynbee the historian, the Stanley Kubrick

film and then there’s Jupiter and resurrection. Well, Toynbee believed that perhaps science would deliver the mythology of Heaven that religion never would or could. Yes, Toynbee, and it seems the mysterious tiler, believed in building a Heaven on Jupiter by simply reconnecting and rebuilding the molecules that make up the human body, in space. Was it because he feared death? Was it because he had a “proto-religious” experience watching Kubrick’s seminal space film? We still don’t know. The three researchers were bound to determine the tiler’s identity and home base by a few big clues: a South

Philly rowhouse address from a tile dropped in Chile (the Seventh Street address), a mysterious mention in a Philadelphia Inquirer column from ’83 by Clark DeLeon, and a one-act play by David Mamet called “4 A.M.” that was published in ’85. It was the rowhouse clue that would yield the most vibrant clues. They went to his block (all of the suspects were male) and found test tiles everywhere. Neighbors talked of a reclusive neighbor who pad-locked his front door, took in injured birds and drove a car with a missing floorboard on the passenger side and, at one point, a huge shortwave radio transmitting antennae. He drove around South Philly with the message “Resurrect Dead” disturbing television broadcasts such as the evening news. As Steve Weinik put it, “He was tiling the airwaves, he was tiling the 11 o’clock news.” There are endless odd paths to chase down, like the paranoid rants of a manifesto that once sat at 16th and Chestnut streets. They are too many and twisted to print here. But some of the sub-texts that accompanied the standard tiles are totally wild: “Under Freedom of Information Act, NBC Journalists Funneled FBI Information On Me To Soviet…”, “I’m Only One Man And When I Caught A Fatal Disease They Gloated Over Its Death,” and, frighteningly, “Murder Every Journalist. I Beg You.” With an alias, James Morasco, the tiler started something called The Minory Association that sought to publicize the message of Toynbee and the tiles. As Duerr says: “He became fixated on this idea that he had found this answer to overcome death and if he just found a way to publicize the idea that the rest of the story would write itself, but everyone just mocked him.” After he lost faith in the media, he started experimenting with tiles and, according to the experts, is alive and in the area, even still putting down fresh tiles. We chose not to use his name for this story with the slight hope that he would read the South Philly Rreview and that his privacy deserved to be respected. But the question remains – what does it all mean and is he absolutely that far off? Duerr believes he shared a bus with the tiler, he’s almost certain, but when they deboarded and exchanged nervous glances, he walked away, thinking “You can’t force someone to open up to you.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

Sturdy Mason-ry A Point Breeze baritone is basking in bolstering his operatic options.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

es Mason has treasured many triumphs as a singer, scoring kudos and commendations for his allegiance to endearing audiences to beloved works. Doing so minus an iota of bravado, the 28-year-old is humbly helping Opera Philadelphia as Mazetto, a perceptive peasant who proves a pest to the titular character in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Don Giovanni.” “What a perfect role to have for making my company debut!” the resident of the 1900 block of Latona Street said of the communityfocused figure who thwarts the legendary lothario’s advances toward his fiancée, Zerlina. “I can let it all hang out because I’m so thrilled to be involved.” Having sung the part as an Opera Naples hire and an Academy of Vocal Arts registrant, Mason has marked Mazetto as “pretty much a laid-back guy” who faces a major hurdle in protecting his sense of simplicity, which the lustful lead cares little to preserve. Delighted to appear at the Academy of Music through Sunday, he is loving not only the immediate opportunity to perform but also the no-less-appreciated chance to champion Philadelphia as a cultural icon.

LIFESTYLES “It has such a vibrant nature, but I still think it’s an overlooked one,” the Point Breeze denizen said of the turf that has enraptured him for five years, the last two being in South Philly. “I don’t think Philly needs to prove anything to anyone.” Mason likewise feels no temptation to satisfy expectations, preferring to hope his career will continue to be a testament to the rewards of exploring one’s talents and encouraging integration into the larger context of communal evolution. Though that aspiration can sound daunting, he considers himself a committed conduit for its execution. “There’s much to be said for opening up the box,” Mason said of his progression. “Philadelphia is a place that will smack the idea of entitlement right off your face, so I’m not up there to boast or gloat. I’m trying to give glory to the composers and pay my dues to audience members, which means always looking to improve my comprehension and delivery. I think Philadelphia really helps to get that message across clearly.” As his inaugural Opera Philadelphia assignment stems from his success at the Academy of Vocal Arts, he can count the City of Brotherly Love as a source of soul-enriching sentiment. With Mozart’s immortal opus as his current guide, he aspires, like his character, to live a per-

spective-rich existence revolving around regard for following one’s philosophies with conviction. “My schooling here gave me a new level of expertise and preparation,” Mason said. “I knew it would be all on me to progress, and I’ve done that with great support from the community. Onward and upward.” THE CONSUMMATE INDIVIDUAL fondly recalls seeking laughs and attention as a Virginia youth who relied on an outspoken, overenergetic nature to gravitate toward the stage. Music-infused genes bred interest in gaining viola and guitar proficiency, the latter sort helping him to join a rock band at 14. He eventually became the outfit’s lead singer, with his mother, another commendable vocalist, suggesting engrossing tutelage. “I heard a live recording of Franco Corelli doing ‘Nessun Dorma,’ and it ripped open my soul,” Mason said. “I came to feel that if I made classical vocalism my foundation and highest discipline, it would inform everything else I’d want to do.” Always believing in a career as a performer, he knew early on that Corelli and his peers, as well as the vocalists’ esteemed sources of material, would constantly call on him to ask more of himself, and he

began to provide answers by enrolling at Old Dominion University. While the Virginia institution offered valuable lessons, Mason mightily matured through involvement with the Schroon Lake, N.Y.-based Seagle Music Colony. “That was such a crucial period,” he said of the experience that solidified him as a bankable baritone. “It’s another opportunity that I see as unforgettable.” That windfall led to a transfer to the University of Michigan, where more stellar colleagues intensified his enthusiasm for their craft. Having acquired real world experience through the Michigan Opera Theatre, he sought additional instruction, tapping Philadelphia to foster his ambition. “I’m so grateful for its influence,” Mason said of the Academy of Vocal Arts, which also produced fellow Point Breeze inhabitant and “Don Giovanni” castmate Michelle Johnson. “I’d definitely say it and Philadelphia as a whole have influenced my artistic ambition.” That abundance of gusto helped him to create the role of Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas for the 2010 Fort Worth-Texassituated world premiere of “Before Night Falls” and has brought him such accolades as a ’12 Encouragement Award from the Loren L. Zachary Society Competition

and last year’s Career Development Grant from the Sullivan Foundation. “Being confident is one thing, and being hardheaded is another, so I just go about my business,” Mason said of never feeling prideful. “There are so many people who could be right there at an instant to take our place, so for me, it’s about staying sharp without being haughty.” He enlists his own compositions as cogs in his journey, as he depends on his guitar to sate his blues, country, folk and rock affinities. Deeming acting and making music “a dream,” Mason looks forward to carrying out his childhood quest for stardom. As he does so, he aims to be the anti-Don Giovanni, whom he actually expects to portray within the next two seasons, meaning he will seek to serve others more than himself. “I’ve had high-pressure vocal preparation,” the singer, who will play Curly in “Oklahoma” and The Bishop in “Les Miserables” during a July and August turn at the Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre, said. “I’m ready for even more challenges.” SPR For tickets, visit operaphila.org.

Race and afﬁrmative action

or said, we can’t wish away the prejudices that still infect American life. It’s also understandable that any changes to affirmative action programs eliminating race as a consideration will be justly viewed with suspicion by those who suffered discrimination for far too long in American life. Racial discrimination is much more subtle than segregationist Lester Maddox refusing to serve black people in his Georgia restaurant decades ago. At the same time, to deny progress is to deny the success of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers who awakened the conscience of America to racial injustice. Maybe all these years later it is time to admit such racial progress and base affirmative action programs on economic disadvantage rather than race. The gap between rich and poor keeps growing in America, where income inequality is a major problem. Chances to climb the economic ladder are fading. The idea that you can be anything you wish based on the fruit of one’s labor is fast becoming myth instead of reality. A college degree remains a major weapon in the fight to realize one’s potential, yet the high cost of tuition creates its own barrier to low-income people. Opening doors based on economics rather than race makes sense in dealing with the new reality. Affirmative action programs based on helping the economically disadvantaged are not going to eliminate helping racial minorities, but will more sharply focus where the help is needed most. Substituting economic disadvantage for race should also help erase some of the stigma attached to minority achievement as being due to some kind of unfair favoritism. It could also serve to ease some of the friction between the races and be perceived as more fair. Keep in mind last week’s Supreme Court ruling allows race-based preference where it has been decided upon democratically. There will still be situations where it makes the most sense to implement affirmative action programs based on racial preferences. In fact, last week’s ruling by the Court actually is a warning against judicial activism in the opinion of some legal experts. One should not view changing preferences from race to economics as backtracking on our goal as a society of achieving racial justice, a goal on which we have made progress. There are laws on the books to deal with racial discrimination should any college admissions office view such a change as a green light to do so. I expect that change in affirmative action to be met with a jaundiced eye. It will also require fair administration to allay such fears. By opening college doors to the most needy, we will be closer to achieving a more just society. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

ontrary to what you may believe, the U.S. Supreme Court did not ban racebased affirmative action last week. According to the best reading of legal experts I’ve read, the Court ruled such programs ought to be decided by democratically elected accountable bodies and affirmative action is not constitutionally required. The ruling upholds Michigan’s ban on affirmative action and may mean other states will soon join the handful of states that also do so. I was surprised to read about two-thirds of Americans support affirmative action. In my small world, I would hazard a guess that two-thirds oppose affirmative action based on race. My take is many people are afraid to take a public stance against it for fear of being thought of as racist. I’m conflicted about race-based affirmative action. I don’t dispute the well-intentioned origins of such programs or the fact that I stand up and listen when figures like Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice state that without affirmative action, they would not have succeeded in American life because of past racism. It’s also indisputable that the abandonment of affirmative action has caused a significant decrease in minority population at many schools. The downside is, at least to me, also indisputable. There are winners and losers under it. Asian-Americans are a minority. If race neutral policies were applied, many more Asians would be accepted into college. The achievements of minority graduates are often downgraded in the eyes of the public as being the result of racial preference. And what about disadvantaged poor white students who can be bypassed for admission simply because they do not fit quotas based on racial preference? In these cases, it seems as if affirmative action, contrary to public opinion polls, can act to inflame resentment between the races. I don’t think the time has come to do away with affirmative action. The Court has ruled that to be the case in states that no longer want to continue such policies. In writing for the majority, Justice Andrew Kennedy said affirmative action is not a legal, but an educational question. Times change. Perhaps it’s time we recognize different times require different remedies. As racial barriers have fallen, minorities have become more successful. This is not to say racial discrimination has disappeared from American life. As Justice Sonia Sotomay-

We want to thank our family, friends, loyal customers and the extended family of Johnnie’s staff for all your prayers, care, and love shown to John Franco and his family over his passing on January 18th, 2014. Your outpouring of love was beyond any words of thanks that can be expressed. He was blessed to have many people surrounding him always with words of support and hope. John lost his battle with cancer, yet smiled every day through his suffering. Our customers are our family and it is our hope that you will continue to dine with us to celebrate Johnnie’s life at our one and only location: Johnnie’s Italian Specialties at 12th and Wolf Streets. Johnnie’s will remain open and will continue to run under the management of his son, Christian.

Kathleen’s Chicken Club Stromboli

Touring Italy

aradiso Restaurant & Wine Bar, 1627 E. Passyunk Ave., is celP ebrating a decade of excellence by

eftovers, it’s a word that many people dread. They just sit on the refrigerator’s top shelf waiting for some hungry soul to reach in and clear the space. The idea of eating previously prepared chicken may not get people running over for dinner unless they pull a card out of Kathleen Valle’s collection. The resident of the 2600 block of Dudley Street incorporates the ingredient in her Chicken Club Stromboli. For those looking to take a fresher approach, there is no rule against purchasing just-pickedup-at-the-store poultry. SPR

INGREDIENTS: 1 pound of store-bought or homemade dough 1/4 pound of pepper cheese 12 slices of leftover baked chicken or chicken lunch meat 1 medium tomato, sliced

hosting a series of fun food and wine events throughout the remainder of the year. Drinking Italy resumes 6:30 p.m. May 7 with another session to follow on June 4. Paradiso’s chef/restauranteur Lynn Rinaldi and an Artisan Wine rep will be offering three full-pours of wine from the featured region, complimented by three house-cured meats and artisan cheese bites for $20.10.

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut dough into two pieces, and spread each one into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Layer half of the cheese, chicken, tomato, peppers and bacon, roll up and seal. Place the stromboli on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown.

shrimp and grits, ribs are a philosophy in the South. Everyone is an expert and everyone is a critic. Sbraga’s version ($15) was a glorious creation. The ribs were marinated in cola, slow simmered for hours, napped with a dry rub and presented at the right temperature. Homemade red bliss potato salad, tossed in a bit of mayonnaise and some charred scallions, made this a complete dish. Charred cabbage ($9) was an unusual concoction that arrived in a very hot castiron pan. Charring it brings out the cabbage’s natural sweetness, but I have never had it topped with homemade tomato sauce and cheese. This may be a Sbraga original, especially since he is Italian on his father’s side. The site’s beers hail from America. We (continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

have made numerous road trips throughout the South, savoring some truly fine dishes. The best of the lot were served to me in mom and pop restaurants such as Bullord’s, on the South Carolina/North Carolina border, where tiny, crispy fried shrimp and fries along with iced tea made my afternoon. Twenty-five years ago, on a glorious late summer morning, I sat on a dock on Shem Creek just outside Charleston, S.C., waiting for the commercial fishermen to bring in their catch, so I could try shrimp and grits for the first time. Southern food is simple food, and the less done to the ingredients, the better. Chef Kevin Sbraga, winner of “Top Chef: Washington, D.C.,” understands this notion as well as he does French cuisine. He traveled throughout the South searching for ideas for The Fat Ham, his five-monthold casual restaurant in University City. He hit it on the nose. The focus of the room is the long wooden bar and what appeared to be every bottle of Bourbon and rye whiskey made in America. I slid onto a stool and sipped an expertly mixed Maker’s Mark Manhattan ($12) and tried to decide what I wanted for dinner. Kudos to Sbraga for putting together a menu of enticing dishes printed large enough so anyone can actually read it with the aid of the hanging lights over the bar and throughout the dining room. The Fat Ham features a series of small plates that are meant to be shared. I am not fond of small plate meals, but I went with the flow and made some selections. Mustard greens ($8) consisted of a

mound of freshly-shredded, tangy fresh greens topped with chopped peanuts and dressed with a splash of oil and vinegar. I’m a sucker for anything pickled, and the pickled shrimp ($8) made me pucker. Tiny, perfectly cooked red shrimp spent some time in white vinegar, dill and slices of hot pepper. They were served cold in a small glass jar along with triangles of homemade white bread toast and the tastiest homemade mayonnaise that has ever passed my lips. I have not seen blackened anything on a menu since the New Orleans craze came and went in our city more than 20 years ago. When it is fresh, catfish can be an enjoyable experience. Sbraga and his line cooks keep it simple. A firm thick slice of fish was covered in spices and quickly seared. I loved the crispy skin and the light sauce included on the plate. Some small pieces of purple and white cauliflower were added for crunch. Shrimp and grits is a culinary philosophy. This dish has caught on in Philly for the past few years. Every chef makes it differently. The shrimp can be lightly boiled, seared or charcoal grilled. The choice of grits is crucial to the success of the dish. Instant Quaker grits does not cut it. At The Fat Ham, this dish ($14) begins with white stone-ground grits that have been lovingly cooked with tiny pieces of ham. This technique imparted one heck of a flavor. Four shrimp that spent some time on the grill were placed on top, emitting a smoky flavor and aroma. Unfortunately, the first platter arrived cold. Its replacement was piping hot and quite comforting. The Fat Ham was out of pork belly, but one fine dish was on offer in its stead. Like

Delicias’ Reina Pepiada Arepas

Chef Lynette Sutton

Delicias Restaurant

Owner: Lynette and Malhon Sutton Opened November 2013 526 S. Fourth St. Philadelphia 267-687-7631 deliciasarepas.com

ynette Sutton made a culinary mark with her Latinthemed food while serving customers on her West Philadelphia-parked food trucks. One is stationed at 34th and Market streets while the other is at 40th Street between Locust and Spruce. Customers enjoyed her offerings so much that the chef/owner decided last fall that it was time to expand. In November, she acquired the space at 526 S. Fourth St., and three weeks later, she held a soft opening for the 25-seat, dinner only Delicias Restaurant. “It’s an extension of the food trucks,” the University City resident said. “It was small enough that the venture didn’t seem risky.” The New York native gets strong support from husband Malhon Sutton. The self-taught chef said her Latin-style cooking is ingrained in her as a result of her Puerto Rican roots. Even with the opening of her

newer establishment, Sutton still spends time on the food truck, which will be part of Saturday’s Spring Festival on South Street. For those who can’t wait until the weekend to sample the food, the chef is sharing her recipe for “Reina Pepiada Arepas or the “Curvy Queen,” which is named after a true Venezuelan beauty, Susana Dujim, Miss World 1955. This popular arepa sandwich has a delicious filling of shredded chicken tossed in a Delicias blend of house guacamole and garlic mayonnaise. “It’s very simple,” Sutton said. “It’s a lighter version of chicken salad.”

INGREDIENTS 4 to 6 Delicias grilled arepas 4 cups of shredded cooked chicken breast 1/4 cup of chopped red onion

per. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the avocado mixture, onion and chicken. Toss until all of the ingredients are fully mixed together. Refrigerate until ready to serve. To assemble, grill the arepas. While still hot, split each grilled arepa in half, and fill with the chicken salad. Place on a serving plate, and garnish with a slice of the avocado or a sprig of cilantro. DIRECTIONS Serve immediately. Makes four to six servings.

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r ev i ew.c o m

An appointment with disappointment A West Passyunk baseball team nearly nipped a perennial powerhouse. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

P h o t o b y R o b To r n e y

have one, too.” In addition to their prowess against the Pioneers, the Huskies advanced to last year’s Class AA City title contest, where they folded 5-2 against the Ss. NeumannGoretti High School Saints, 1736 S. 10th St. A never-say-die group, they immediately felt lively during their first cuts. With the bags full thanks to free passes for junior shortstop Keegan McKoskey, freshman center fielder Brian Reynolds and Freer, senior first baseman Mike Torres smacked a one-out, two-run single, with the Huskies ruing opportunities to add more, as they again loaded the bases yet needed to settle for the deuce. The second frame came to epitomize the feast-or-famine day that Freer would have, as the resident of the 1900 block of Durfor Street punched out the side but hit a batter, balked and unhurled a wild pitch. Frankford cut the deficit i n h a l f , bu t Torres again cracked a two-run single to restore the Huskies’ roar. “I was up there just trying to hit the ball as hard as I could to get the momentum back,” the first sacker said. “Whatever it takes for us to win, I’m trying to be a guy who makes that happen.” TORRES EXPERIENCED A different identity last year, as the resident of the 1100 block of McKean Street did not play much due to family responsibilities. Eager to continue the bolstering of his club’s maturation, he has felt thankful for each chance to trot out to the field and again let his bat display his receptivity to the opportunity to contribute for Magee. “He’s a solid player,” the coach said of his charge. “He fits in well with our team and gives us some pop.” After the visitors again dwindled the margin in half, the hosts proved

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php their patience, as two walks and a single set the stage for junior third baseman Joe Suppa. His triple and Freer’s groundout gave them a second quartet of runs, with a subsequent threat that began with another Torres single further showing their foes that their intensity would not wither. Freer added three more whiffs in the fourth, his third inning of striking out the side, and vowed to keep bringing the heat for the rest of the afternoon. Unfortunately for the Girard Estate inhabitant, the opposition similarly strove to impress spectators. Seven foes crossed the plate in the fifth, with Magee lifting Freer for McKoskey after two of the scores. The resident of the 2400 block of South Fourth Street, yet another AllPublic honoree, did a decent job over the next two innings, with the Huskies trailing 9-8 as the home half of the seventh commenced. With one gone, McKoskey fought off a few tough pitches before ripping a single. Following Reynolds’ strikeout, Suppa collected an infield hit that led to jubilation, as a throwing error knotted the score. An intentional walk to Freer gave Torres an occasion to play the hero, but the field umpire ruled he committed on a two-strike offering, leading to incredulous reactions from the Huskies, who promised to score an extra-inning victory. Again, though, the Pioneers pursued a different outcome, plating the decisive run and an insurance tally in the eighth. Hoping to rally for a second time, the Huskies could not prey on the in-theascendancy guests, who scored a key win in their quest to add yet another title to their annals. The Huskies, meanwhile, initially appeared dejected but soon seemed positive about putting the defeat behind them. “It stinks that we controlled the game [only to lose,]” Freer said, “but when the playoffs come, it’ll be a different story.” Prep Charter visited Masterman yesterday in action that ended after press time. It will host Esperanza at 2:45 tomorrow. SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

nstead of giving credence to the notion that frequently ill children will become healthy adults, perhaps people should ponder how successfully addressing disappointment as a youth assists with one’s maturity. The baseball players from Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., received an undesired prompt for their progression Friday at Citizens Adjusters Park, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue, losing a six-run edge in falling 11-9 to Frankford. “This is definitely a tough one to handle, but we can get over it quickly,” coach Shawn Magee said to the Huskies, who dropped to 4-3 in Public League Division-A play. “In fact, we need to put it past us right away. We can make mistakes now, but we have to be stronger for the playoffs.” For the first half of the game, the third-year leader had seemed destined to deliver a congratulatory talk, as his West Passyunk-based athletes looked ready to score another upset over their guests, the three-time defending league vanquishers. Having swept last year’s regular season tilts 6-5 and 16-0 and succumbed 3-2 in the semifinals, the local youngsters aimed to remain a source of disdain for Frankford by sending ace left-hander Rob Freer to the mound. “We’re always pumped about playing these guys,” the senior All-Public pick said. “We know all about their reputation, bu t w e

Senior hurler Rob Freer notched 12 strikeouts in the momentum-shifting contest.
