n 2009, a brutal string of attacks targeting Asian students at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., put several students in the hospital. One of them was Wei Chen, a resident of South Ninth and Wolf Streets, who now sits on the board of directors of Victim/Witness Services of South Philadelphia, 1426 S. 12th St. As he re-
cuperated, he was visited by the organization, and it became a watershed moment in his life. “I was a victim of school violence, and I grew as a student and a community organizer,” he told a crowd that gathered to honor City Councilman-atLarge James F. Kenney at Fleisher Art Memorial, 719 Catharine St., Friday night. He was inspired by the compassion and unsolicited support from Victim/Witness Services that he received in the wake of violence. He’s grown

“to serve victims to make a better city,” Chen said since his first interaction with an organization that seeks to alleviate some of the consequences that arise as a result of crime and violence. “I feel there’s more hope.” It’s stories like Chen’s that inspired Kenney to enthusiastically back efforts to protect the citizenship and rights of non-native and documented See VICTIM/WITNESS page 10 >>

Cardella: Don’t know much about history

Much is made of the president’s tanking approval ratings. I for one need a fallback joke at times during the course of writing this column (Obama is officially less popular than a colonoscopy), so I would almost hate to see his ratings rise.

South PhillyReview
Another perspective To the Editor: Louis (Lezzoni) has completely misrepresented the bike riders in South Philly (“Bicycles on pavements,” April 24). If I was like Louis, I would regard all car drivers the same as those who have no regard for bikes on the street, who drive by too fast, too close, yelling obscenities as they pass, and I would really be grumpy, like Louis. So I understand how the grumpy man’s mind works and don’t want to go there. All car drivers are not crazy, neither are all bike riders selfish and inconsiderate. The reality of biking in this city, especially in South Philly, is that there is no safe place for bike riders to travel. The roads are extremely dangerous and narrow and bikes are not welcome. Car drivers are often hostile, and when a bus or work truck, van or other wide vehicle is on the road, which in South Philly is all the time, there is
no room for a bike. In other words, we are often forced off the road to safety — the sidewalk. There is no other place to ride at times. Another very dangerous situation one must try to avoid is car exhaust, which in certain situations is overwhelming. The exhaust pipes are nine out of 10 times located on the passenger side of the cars, pointed directly at the bike lane area. This causes the exhaust to blast in one’s face as they are biking. No one’s fault, but carbon monoxide is very harmful to breathe. In my neck of the woods, around Seventh and Tasker streets, people often ride on the sidewalks. Everyone is very courteous, apologies from both parties, riding slow, yielding to women with carriages, etc. We are very understanding and civil. Other parts of Philly are much more hostile. In Society Hill, I was once blasted for walking my bike on the sidewalk on a cobblestone street.

Regarding the bike lanes Louis speaks of, well there is only one or two in the neighborhood. So unless you are traveling on Washington Avenue or north through Point Breeze, on 22nd Street, you are out of luck. I was just in the Netherlands, where the bike culture is dominant, and bikes lanes are safely placed separate from the car lanes. Upon my return, attempting to travel in this city on a bike, two things were made clear. It is extremely dangerous, and one does feel like a criminal as one is forced into very awkward situations, being neither safe nor welcome in the streets as a bike rider. So, yes, Louis, it is in fact safer to ride on the sidewalks at times and yes, it’s no joke, we are extremely vulnerable (delicate, as you say) as I explained to the woman who clipped my handlebar with her rearview mirror last month. My human body will be crushed if I fall. I will die or be broken like my coworker who got her leg crushed by a bus in March. Thanks for listening. Kim Alsbrooks South Philadelphia

Not an easy solution To the Editor: Tom Cardella’s column (“Race and affirmative action,” May 1) offered some interesting ideas and proposals in the face of the recent ruling by the Supreme Court on college admissions. If only problems like racial bias and fairness were so easily solved. Cardella suggests substituting economics for race as a deciding factor. His point is well taken. A postsecondary education is becoming increasingly unaffordable. And certainly minorities suffer disproportionately from the effects of poverty. However, in total numbers, there are more poor whites than poor blacks in America. According to data from the 2012 Inequality. Org site, white poor outnumber the black poor considerably, 19 to 7.8 million. White people make up 42 percent of America’s poor, black people about 28 percent. So, poor whites easily outnumber poor blacks and other minorities when applying for college under Cardella’s plan. Meanwhile, he has not solved the problem of how to pay for all those expensive college educations for the poor. I agree that affirmative action poses many dilemmas. Some kind of formula should be in place to make sure there is equality of opportunity for all minorities.There is however no advantage for minorities by basing college admissions on a means test.

t 11:40 p.m. Saturday, Third District officers stopped 29-year-old Walter Johnson on the 2200 block of South 11th Street and observed gloves; a pry bar; a flashlight bearing the engraving of an East Passyunk Avenue-situated eatery he supposedly entered illegally; and a screwdriver protruding from his back pocket. They had first observed him at 10:15 in the area of Walter Johnson the 800 block of Wolf Street and believed he looked similar to the man sought for committing multiple burglaries in the area. The following is a summary of the detained figure’s alleged actions: At 3:17 a.m. April 22, authorities responded to a call 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 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. Law enforcement agents 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 unsuc-
cessful attempts to pry open doors and a service window. Another 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 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. Authorities revealed that Johnson has several known addresses, including ones on the 1400 block of South 24th Street, the 1800 block of Dickinson Street and the 2600 block of South Sheridan Street. They charged him with eight counts of burglary and related offenses. He had not posted his $50,00 bail as of press time and awaits a May 20 preliminary hearing.
Lower body agony A man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his legs and groin area in Grays Ferry Monday. Authorities received notice of a shooting on the 1500 block of South Napa Street at 12:12 a.m. and located the complainant on the northwest corner of the 3100 block of Tasker Street. He had been walking westbound on Tasker Street from 28th Street, turned northbound onto South Napa Street and became a victim when someone pulled onto the latter location and fired a gun, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Immediately dropping to the ground, the man heard more gunshots and began to suffer pain in his legs before the vehicle, which he described as a white or silver SUV, possibly a Chevrolet, sped away in an unknown direction, Tolliver said. He made his way to the 3100 block of Tasker Street, where he used a passerby’s cell phone to call authorities, who transported him to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. A description of the vehicle’s occupants

Fire forces relocation A Hawthorne school became a reception center for fire victims last week. Around 3 a.m. May 1, residents of the 2300 block of Naudain Street in Center City noticed a gas smell, with crews detecting high carbon monoxide readings throughout the thoroughfare. Philadelphia Gas Works employees attempted to locate the source after their evacuation, with an undetermined agent igniting an explosion at one home. Roughly two hours later, Philadelphia Fire Department personnel extinguished the three-alarm event, which had spread to three other residences. Authorities confirmed that nobody perished, and the American Red Cross Southeastern Pennsylvania stated that 30 people reported to The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., with two dogs and as many cats receiving assistance from Red Paw.
Cash conundrum
Misery over money A man required stitches after an attacker robbed him of cash last week. Law enforcement officials met the unfortunate figure, who was bleeding from his head, on the 700 block of Snyder Avenue at 12:45 a.m. May 1 and learned that
he was heading to an ATM on the same thoroughfare when someone approached him to ask for a cigarette, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The individual replied that he could not help and proceeded to the machine. Right after he dispensed $40, he suffered a punch to the left side of his face, a blow that sent him to the ground and gave the attacker time to take the cash before making a westbound escape on foot. Authorities transported the man to Methodist Hospital, where he received five stitches. He described the offender as a white male, 5-foot-8, 160 pounds and 30 to 35 years old; wearing a black hat and a dark jacket; and sporting a black hoop earring. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Police arrested a North Philly man for his alleged attempt to rob an ATM in Bella Vista. At 5:07 a.m. Sunday, authorities learned through a radio call that someone was breaking into the money holder at the PNC Bank, 801 Christian St., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They observed the damaged item but found no offender on location. Using a flash description from the site’s security operator, they began to search for an older male wearing a baseball cap, a red hoodie and torn jeans, details that matched the garments of a man they had seen earlier in the area of the 900 block of Christian Street. They surveyed the neighborhood, Tolliver said, and found the figure leaving a nearby doughnut shop. After contacting the operator to see if he could identify the individual, they arrested 66-year-old Luis Rodriguez and charged him with criminal mischief and two counts of attempted theft. Video footage also showed him allegedly smashing the ATM with a cinder block or small concrete slab to gain entry.

Should we play above the dead? The Mother Bethel Burial site must be reconciled with the Weccacoe Playground’s future. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
I
n the ongoing debate that has unfolded after the discovery of the Mother Bethel Burial Ground underneath the Weccacoe Playground between Catharine and Queen streets and Lawrence and Leithgow streets, a full meeting room at the African American Museum saw residents, advocates and City officials engaging in the fate of the site Monday night. Spirited debate occurred as public dialogue was opened to the audience after a brief presentation with remarks from Everett Gillison, the Office of the Mayor’s Chief of Staff. In April of 1810, Reverend Richard Allen and the Trustees of Mother Bethel purchased land for use as a burial ground in what was land outside of City limits because African Americans were not lawfully allowed to bury ancestors within the city. Approximately 80 years later, the Trustees sold the land to the City of Philadelphia for $10,000 with the purposes of the disrepaired and long-unused burial ground being turned into a park. In 2008, historian Terry Buckalew conducted an informal research study that rediscovered the burial ground. Last July, a formal archaeological dig confirmed the space’s configuration, and plans for renovating and improving the playground were put indefinitely on hold. The archaeological dig yielded design changes to the plans that Parks & Recreation had drawn up for updating the site. No human remains were found, but recommendations report that excavations go no deeper than one foot below the surface, which will mean: no light fixtures, no shrubbery or gar-
den and no gazebo or columns. Some community members believe the site should be treated as a historically and spiritually significant space and that children playing above the dead is disrespectful, and others believe removing valuable play space for children is a detriment to the community as a whole. The night’s theme became the nature of the compromises that will be necessary as future discussions proceed. “I just wanted to say briefly that I think there’s a lot less controversy than has been reported in the media,” Jeff Hornstein, the president of the Queen Village Neighbors Association, said. “We all want to protect this site, I think we all agree on that point.” A member of the Christ Church in Old City suggested an analogous notion of the final resting place of Benjamin Franklin at Fifth and Arch streets. “Would we put a rec center around or over Ben Franklin’s burial place?” he asked. Similarly, a Native American in the audience replied “My people have been buried all over this country for tens of thousands of years, and don’t take it out on these kids.” Andrew Michaels, a longtime Queen Village resident and frequent Weccacoe visitor with a second grade child at William Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St., believes there’s a healthy debate happening over the respectful use of the space. “I wanted to agree with you that it is the intention of every person that I’ve spoken to and it’s a daily conversation at 3:10 in the afternoon about how we can have a vibrant park and an appropriate memorial or historical lesson about what America is now and what it was.”
Monday’s gathering at the African American Museum gave individuals a chance to address their concerns and questions about the site. Photo Provided by bill chenevert
One attendee concerned with the due respect the deceased deserve, commented that “it seems to me that it’s rather bizarre that the rec center seems to be the focus of this set of differences. People flushing toilets above human remains is absolutely inappropriate, and I would like the City to think about what other options exist.” Of course, this is not the only example of a burial ground being discovered in a dense and developed city and Buckalew, in attendance, pointed to similar situations in Germantown but also in Boston and Falls Church, Va. Dr. Christopher Barton, a Temple archaeology alum, offered some additional concerns. “What I would say is that this is a site of

ennie Markowicz’s fourth-grade class at Fell Elementary School, 900 W. Oregon Ave., recently participated in Philadelphia’s “Need in Deed” program. It allowed her students to choose a topic of interest, and in Markowicz’s words, “educate themselves about it and then complete service and learning projects based around it.” Her class chose kidnapping over gun violence, animal abuse and child abuse. “We bring experts to their classrooms to talk about whatever subject matter the kids
are interested in,” Tyra Washington, a program manager at Need in Deed’s Center City office said. “Our process is driven by the student voice.” And the students were very well-versed about their project upon a classroom visit. “We did a lesson for K through 2 students,” Ishmael said. “Everyday we did it at 10:30 [a.m.] and 2:15 [p.m.] – we teach them about stranger danger.” “We made posters saying why people want to kidnap, facts about kidnapping, how to prevent kidnapping and what you should do if you ever got kidnapped,” Angie explained. As Eric put it, “We had two State Troopers
and an FBI agent” visit their classroom. Emma said that only 1 percent of kidnapped kids get saved, and the students detailed the way Amber Alerts work and how the FBI gets involved when perpetrators cross state lines. The class held raffles and conducted a scooter basketball tournament to raise nearly $500 for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They’ll present a check in a ceremony in the coming weeks. Emma noted that a good tactic for families to prevent kidnapping is to create a “secret password and no one else will know it.” So if a stranger says they were sent by a family member, children can ask “What’s the password?” They
national significance, and I don’t think that this is being heavily emphasized here and I think it should be,” he said. “When we have the opportunity to correct wrong, that’s when you need to take that step forward and you need to progress.” Many more meetings based on available spaces will occur, and Gillison wanted to make sure that attendees knew their voices were being heard. “You have to feel that not only did I hear you but I hear the fear in your voice and I don’t want you to walk away feeling that you haven’t been heard,” he said.

also learned that screaming “Fire!” may be more functional for getting help in the case of an abduction because shouting “No!” may not be as useful. Spike noted that kidnappers might kidnap “because they can’t have their own children” and that “kidnappers might look nice and not mean.” They explained what a ransom is and that 45 percent of children die within one hour of kidnapping. Thankfully, Angie also reports that “when the FBI agent came he said that in 2013 there were only eight real kidnappings.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

VICTIM/WITNESS SERVICES continued from page 1
Philadelphians. And last week, the group formally thanked and honored Kenney for his support with the Edward J. McLaughlin Award for Distinguished Service. “Wei’s story, to me, was very important because it’s important to understand each other’s cultures,” Kenney said upon receiving his accolade. But Kenney’s comments also stressed that we all have a moral compass and his gut told him that unfair anti-immigrant behaviors weren’t acceptable. “If you know what’s unfair you know what’s unfair,” he stated. “In your heart you know it’s wrong.” The organization sees the South Philly native as a champion for standing up for immigrants through fighting to end the City’s policy of complying with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer requests. These situations have, for years, kept immigrants in fear of calling the police, filing complaints and seeking justice for criminal behavior directed toward them. “For Victim Services, one of our main concerns is that we want people to feel safe having contact with the police, and this isn’t a complete solution, but it’s a really strong first step,” Alison Sprague, the group’s executive director, explained. The process of fighting the ICE holds and the campaign to end them have been hardfought battles, and Sprague describes the last year as the period that finally tipped the scales. “[The campaign] has been since probably 2008, but this last piece of important work is really in the last year or so and thankfully we have a lot of friends in [City] Council who were already working on this issue,” Sprague said. “It was kind of a perfect storm in organizing and advocacy work, and we certainly appreciate that the mayor heard community concerns

In service of the South Philly-situated 1st, 3rd and 17th Philadelphia Police Districts, staffers and volunteers work with translators to guarantee services for non-English speaking Philadelphians. “We walk people through the process.

Linda Colavita, the chairperson for Victim/Witness Services board, knows firsthand how difficult the process of reporting a crime can be. “It’s a very frightening experience. You feel alone, you feel scared, you’re afraid to say what you’re afraid of, and our staff helps people through that,” she said. “As a victim of crime myself, unfortunately I didn’t have these people to help me.” Their annual Spring Fundraiser and Award Ceremony also included youths’ contributions. Sadie Sprague-Lott, the executive director’s daughter, solicited young and student voices to articulate the struggles and fears they’ve experienced for inclusion in a banner that would express the repercussions of violence at their annual reads from “Can’t We Talk about Something More Pleasant?” 7:30 p.m. May 12; Sound All Around Concert 11 a.m. May 12; Creating Sustainable Funding for your Nonprofit 10 a.m., Children’s Storytime 11 a.m. and Sandra Tsing Loh reads from “The Madwoman in the Volvo” 7:30 p.m. May 13; Children’s Book Week: Author and Illustrator David Wiesner presents Mr. Wuffles 10:30 a.m. May 14. ■ Thomas F.

candle-lighting vigil. “One of the questions on that survey asks ‘Do you have a message about violence in Philadelphia?’” she explained. “We wanted to show that we care about what is going on, we’re not all violent flash mobs and we are not all the cause of the violence as it is being portrayed. In fact we are often victims of violence.” “Why has my car been keyed and kicked? Is it because of the flag that hangs on our mirror?” one young woman read to the crowd. “No one should have the power to oppress others” and “Violence is not only physical but verbal,” another young woman read. “Go back to where you came from,” yet another teenager read. “We’ll take ’em all,” Kenney said shortly thereafter, a hypothetical response to the often-used threat from Philadelphians who forget that Native Americans may be the only citizens authorized to use the phrase. “This is my home because I chose it — let’s continue to grow and work together and support each other,” Kenney suggested as an appropriate response to bigots. “He has truly improved the lives of LGBT [citizens], immigrants, the elderly and the poor,” Rich Lazer, Victim/Witness Services secretary and the event’s chairman, said in introducing the politician. “He was an advocate for those who were underserved and gave them a voice to make sure Philadelphia is a safe place to live and work and raise a family. “The help that Victim/Witness Services provides on a daily basis on a shoestring budget is remarkable. They renew our faith in our city as a great place to live,” Lazer added. “It’s amazing what people think that’s so dead wrong because they’re going to be dead wrong until the day they die,” Kenney concluded. “I love standing up to bigots.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

Balancing loves for established and newfangled works, the 28-year-old has become a coveted performer and is meshing the canonical with the contemporary by handling seven roles in “Gint,” Romulus Linney’s adaptation of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt.” “We always need to find and keep finding who the next audience is,” the resident of the 500 block of Christian Street said of his status as a student of modern viewing habits. “I feel there’s nothing better than experiencing live theater with an audience, nothing as instructional.” Through Sunday, the Queen Village inhabitant is giving and receiving lessons for EgoPo Classic Theatre at Old City’s Christ Church Neighborhood House. Making his fourth appearance for the South Philly-personnel-heavy company, he is reveling in reviving interest in Ibsen and promoting enriching entertainment. “I really admire everyone at EgoPo,” Stanton-Ameisen said of his peers, including artistic director and East Passyunk Crossing resident Lane Savadove, who is helming the project. “I love its aesthetic and allegiance to themed seasons.” “Gint” caps the 23-year-old entity’s Ibsen Festival, transplants the action from Norway to the Appalachia region and concerns the titular character’s tumultuous existence and search for solace. Stanton-Ameisen lauds the reworking of the 1876 classic as a “super different type of storytelling” that compels participants to inject themselves into discussions of its tenor. “Lane says it’s a story for the everyman, the everywoman, and I believe that,” the thespian, whose personas include a bully, a hog king and a preacher, said of the tinkering. “It’s a powerful look at the struggles that occur when people consider where they fit in the world.” PHOTO

In helping his contemporaries, whom he cherishes as representatives of Philadelphia’s tight-knit theater existence, he is also expanding his stance that time-tested pieces do not deserve desertion with respect to innovative looks at their messages simply because they have obtained hallowed estimations. A proponent of innovation, he will never see anything as too sacred to reconsider or alter. “This play is very faithful to the text, with adjustments made for the setting,” Stanton-Ameisen said of his endeavor. “Its inspiration and other plays are calling for us to gain insights into who we are. We just can’t think of them as untouchable masterpieces. If we need to reimagine a work to help with accessibility, so be it.” BRYN MAWR-BORN AND bred, the focused force bowed to theater at a young age, parting with a passion for athletics. As a determined Rosemont-situated high school student, he relished responsibilities as a presenter of tales and initiated directing duties as a senior. “I’ve never really looked back,” Stanton-Ameisen said, adding his secondary
schooling intensified his resolve and receptivity to placing the likelihood of any success squarely on his shoulders. “I knew I had to find a strong reason to determine why I was involved, and that came easily.” He found great support for his nature at Temple University, where directing, producing and acting proved his perspectiveenhancing enticements. Feeling especially well-rounded as a pupil through English, history and philosophy courses and gaining great exposure through three years of FringeArts turns, he quenched his thirst for more knowledge at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “That was a fantastic experience,” Stanton-Ameisen said of his master’s degreegranting stint, which saw him teach every semester and take part in 14 productions through the Nevada Conservatory Theatre. “I was able to work on so much there that I really felt prepared to establish a career.” Knowing before his departure that the East Coast would win his favor, he returned to Philadelphia and garnered immediate renown through numerous outfits, including EgoPo; the Walnut Street
Theatre; Luna Theatre Co., 620 S. Eighth St.; and The Renegade Co., 930 Sigel St., for which, under artistic director and East Passyunk Crossing denizen Michael Durkin, he serves as associate artistic director. In that function, he is also revisiting esteemed reads and using “Unconventional Community Collaborations,” according to a release for last Sunday’s Star Warsthemed fundraiser, to broaden their appeal. “‘Gint’ could be a Renegade work,” Stanton-Ameisen said of showing that strikingly new analyses can come from work pigeonholed as complete. The multi-faceted figure has become infatuated with addressing the output of another frequent recipient of acclaim, William Shakespeare, and founded Revolution Shakespeare in August to stage “bold productions and readings” of the Bard. “Being revolutionary can just mean doing something well,” Stanton-Ameisen said of a critique that his brainchild has a pretentious title. “His material is some of, if not the absolute, hardest work to act, direct and conceive well-roundedly. It’s the most invigorating, too, though.”
His creation, which presented “Henry VI, Part 3” at Hawthorne Park, 12th and Catharine streets, in October, will handle a production of Orson Welles’ Shakespeare adaptation “Five Kings” in July through a Philadelphia Museum of Art partnership. That task figures to delight Stanton-Ameisen, as will the honor of playing Hamlet for the Delaware Shakespeare Festival that same month. “I want to do the whole canon at least twice,” he said of his affinity for its constituents, which he added always contain themes relevant to today’s citizenry. One such topic, marriage, will soon sate him, as he and fellow thespian Dana Kreitz became engaged in March and are envisioning a Fall 2015 wedding. “I’m a pretty happy guy,” he said of his vocation and relationship. “A fortunate one, too.” SPR For tickets, visit egopo.org.

Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at Jefferson “As a Certified Nursing Assistant, I spend my days helping others. But when I hit 405 pounds, I knew it was time to help myself. That’s why I decided on weight-loss surgery at Jefferson. Their experts put me at ease right away, and the surgery was minimally invasive, so I was able to be back with my patients in no time. Since then, I’ve lost half my weight. And the back pain, the type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol I used to have? I’m not carrying that around with me, either.” Velour had a sleeve gastrectomy, a laparoscopic procedure with short recovery times and an excellent record of success. Interested in learning more?

Don’t know much about history
M
uch is made of the president’s tank-
the time of Theodore Roosevelt and has always been an issue in America. And every time a president has tried to address that issue, whether it be Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt or Barack Obama, the cries from entrenched interests in America have been to call the leader “radical,” “a communist” or “socialist.” Anyone who wants to go back to the days of pure free market capitalism doesn’t know anything about the early 1900s. Anyone who wonders openly about why unions are necessary (despite their sometime excesses) doesn’t know anything about the sweatshops where their grandparents likely labored. America has also become more ignorant about science. The argument over evolution was seemingly decided decades ago. But here we are arguing about evolution all over again today. Too many people view evolution, as they do climate change, as political opinion and not science. Honest people can debate what policies we should implement to deal with climate change, but to debate whether it really exists makes you the Fredric March character in “Inherit The Wind.” Earlier in this column, I indicted the younger generation for its self-centered lack of interest in history, but actually our problem cuts across generations. Seniors have stopped buying newspapers, not because they access the news through the Internet, but because newspapers are just too “expensive.” Really? We ride the buses free, and we can’t afford a daily newspaper? Some seniors think it is enough to read the skimpy wire reports in the Metro because it’s free (and before you write in, as worthwhile as this newspaper is, it is not meant to substitute for reading a daily newspaper). Too many of us don’t know what we don’t know and are decidedly not humble about it. Opinions on Twitter, Facebook or other social media have been exalted to a level by the media they do not deserve. Virtually any TV newscast involves polling its audience for an opinion or replicating its audience’s comments on social media. Doesn’t have to an informed opinion, just an opinion will do. Interactive TV, ain’t it grand? Even folks who should know better often don’t. HBO host of “Real Time,” Bill Maher, likes to slam public ignorance on the issues, but he was guilty last week of the same thing when it came to Vladimir Putin’s thinly disguised attempt to revive the old Soviet Union. “Who cares about the Crimea?,” said Maher, “sounds like a creamer. Wake me up when he gets to Poland.” Sounds like something that Neville Chamberlain would have said back before the Nazis did get around to Poland. Pretty dumb, Bill. Yes, folks, history often does repeat itself. And you want to know why? It’s because when people don’t know much about history, they don’t even know that history is repeating itself.

Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) straps in for an 85-minute thriller behind the wheel.
‘Locke’ is a lock ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
t’s not easy to sustain 85 minutes of drama with nothing to show but one man and one car. Yet, writer-director Steven Knight and star Tom Hardy pull it off with “Locke,” an uncommonly intimate dramatic thriller that continuously makes the most with the least. Not only is the production confined to a single character in a single setting, its plot is comprised of relatively mundane events. (In other words, don’t show up expecting bullets.) Ivan Locke (Hardy) is a Welsh construction-site foreman en route to a London hospital, and the details of his trip are only gradually unveiled. The conflicts, however, are present from the start, as Ivan needs to cancel on both his crew and his family, to devastating effect. All communication is made via Ivan’s GPS dashboard unit, meaning our sole visual link to human struggle is Hardy’s upper half, with which he delivers his best performance to date. All the hulking rage the Brit instilled in characters like Bronson and Bane is contained here, and waiting to erupt with each mounting stressor. This is all surprisingly invigorating to watch, and Knight repeatedly transcends the inherent traps of his film’s on-the-nose metaphors. It’s tempting to recoil when Ivan talks to the departed dad he resents in a rearview mirror, but the potentially trite element never veers into damning territory, nor do the allegorical natures of Ivan’s literal journey or his demanding job, which centers around the acts of laying foundations, building and rebuilding. Typically, films that offer us only one
character to follow will either sink (like “Buried” with Ryan Reynolds) or swim (like “All is Lost” with Robert Redford). Count “Locke” among the latter. Unfolding like a one-man theatrical production, but bolstered by Haris Zambarloukos’ multi-reflection cinematography, the film is a must for Hardy fans, and that it so deftly turns the humdrum into the pulsepounding affords it widespread appeal. Stripped of adornments, this is a workingclass nightmare told in first-class fashion.

ing approval ratings. I, for one, need a fallback joke at times during the course of writing this column (Obama is officially less popular than a colonoscopy), so I would almost hate to see his ratings rise. If we substituted the word “popularity” for approval, would it change the meaning of the rating? I don’t think so. When voters are polled on most of the major issues, they usually agree with the president. Various polls also seem to show that a majority of Americans like him personally. So the question is why don’t they approve of him? Could it possibly be the voters’ fault? I know that position isn’t popular in a democracy where we are supposed to worship at the altar of John Q. Public (incidentally, what the hell does the “Q” stand for anyway?). But seriously, if you agree with most of the president’s stands on the issues, but don’t approve of him anyway, doesn’t that say more about you than it does him? We in the media continually let American voters off the hook all the time. Many of us decry the influence of corporate money on our elections, but if the electorate were well informed, wouldn’t that, to a large extent, blunt that influence? Liberals like to blame the disinformation dispensed on Fox News, but really, there is the information highway out there that is available at the click of a mouse for most folks. They’re just too damn lazy to bother about it. I’m sure you, like me, receive e-mails, Twitter feeds and Facebook material all the time that can be disproved with just a quick check of Snopes.com. Despite how often you advise the sender that Starbucks didn’t disrespect service veterans, that same email keeps getting circulated (likely started by Dunkin’ Donuts). I no longer find it amusing when a group of college students is interviewed and its consensus is that the Civil War began in 1941 (which means I was alive during the time of Abraham Lincoln). My biggest complaint about our youths today is not that they like Miley Cyrus, but that they don’t know anything about Ella Fitzgerald. Much was made when African-American athletes were unaware of the legacy of Jackie Robinson, but too many of our entire younger generation, no matter the skin color, believe history began when they reached puberty. When you understand history, you realize there is really nothing truly new under the sun. The burning issue of today about income inequality was as big an issue during

Dees’ Middle-Eastern Pizza
Another door opens
M
any people enjoy making a simple pizza at home using regular dough. Others prefer going with one of those prepackaged versions that simply need to be topped with the ingredients of choice, and then placed in the oven to bake. There are no limits to the creativity for the home chef. Dolores Mansor, of the 1200 block of South 10th Street, for instance, goes for the international appeal with her Middle-Eastern Pizza. While it may sound like a fancy, multi-ingredient creation, all it takes is one simple spice to acquire the desired flavoring: Za’atar. With a short baking process, diners will not have to worry about getting their pizza delivered on time. SPR

crisp and brown on the outside and still a bit creamy inside. We found them to be slightly salty but good nonetheless. Since the espresso ricotta cheesecake was so delicious, I toted home a white chocolate cherry muffin ($3) and a coconut cupcake ($2). The muffin was prepared with slightly sweet dried cherries, which was a fine choice. The cupcake was just as good. It was a vanilla cake, flecked with tiny bits of chocolate, iced with a creamy not-at-all-sweet frosting and dusted with flaked coconut. Grubhouse serves breakfast and lunch.

ike baseball and jazz, Sunday brunch has become a tradition in America. It is almost unheard of in other countries. The options for this meal run the gamut from coffee and a croissant to high end fancy buffets served in hotels. There is always a line at Sabrina’s, Morning Glory, The Sidecar Bar & Grille and Hawthornes. I have never been disappointed with my meal at these South Philly restaurants. While browsing the Internet, I came upon Cousin’s Grubhouse. It has been a luncheonette for many years, so a visit was in order. I like good, old-fashioned luncheonettes because they remind me of my childhood and the comfort foods that kept me happy. The bright-and-airy space has an enticing case filled with sweets, a long counter, tables and chairs with specials posted on the blackboard. The weekend brunch menu includes breakfast and lunch selections. We sat at the counter, discussed our options while we waited for the Flyers game to begin. Big mugs of steaming, hot, strong coffee kept me company as I decided what I wanted. I ordered the Grubhouse breakfast ($8) while Edward wanted a cheese omelette ($7.50). My dish came with a choice of French toast or pancakes. I never make pancakes at home because they always turn out looking funny and not tasting very good. Our server took good care of the couple next to us and a man who was finishing a
good-looking burger with tater tots. She told us the pancakes were being made fresh to order and surprised us with a delicious treat. She gave us a slice of espresso ricotta cheesecake nested into a crumbly graham cracker crust and topped with tiny bits of chocolate. Oh, be still my heart. This obviously homemade delight went well with coffee. I always order gently scrambled eggs. I prefer them golden and glistening, but these looked strange. The eggs were not beaten properly, so the whites formed long strings, and the yolks had a funny tinge to them. The eggs were fried into curds and overcooked. Some people have trouble cooking eggs properly. But the two large, fluffy cakes that came out piping hot and ready for butter and syrup were really tasty. They were topped with too much powdered sugar that I simply scraped it off. The butter melted, the syrup was room temperature and all was right with the world. Four strips of crisp bacon made me forget the eggs. Omelettes can be tricky. You will get a diner-style flat omelette at Grubhouse with a choice of two fillings. Edward asked for cheddar cheese and a side of sausages. His kibitzing as he ordered turned the sausages into a filling for the omelette. No matter. Although the eggs were slightly brown on the outside, they were not rubbery. I turned my attention to the tater tots. Jones on Chestnut Street makes them from scratch and are a true culinary wonder. I am not sure whether the ones served at Grubhouse are homemade, but they were uncommonly good,

Chef John Torres
Predella Restaurant Owner: John Torres Opened: August 2013 932 S. 10th St. 215-923-2323 letseat.at/Predella
hanks to the culinary skills of his relatives, especially those of his father, Benjamin, John Torres has long prided himself on being a consummate cook. With more than two decades as a local provider of provisions, the 49-year-old believes in bringing love to every offering and has built on that passion since August by helming Predella Restaurant, 932 S. 10th St. “My family definitely has proved influential, and my enthusiasm just metamorphosed,” the resident of the 900 block of Montrose Street said from his Bella Vista establishment, whose name refers to a painting or sculpture or series of small paintings or sculptures that form the lower edge of an altarpiece or the face of an altar step or platform. “My dad is the real deal, so I’m just trying to hold my own.” Attempts to do so have seen the lifelong South Philly figure hold prominent positions at five locations, including Villa di Roma, 936 S. Ninth St., where he has served as chef for three years. Torres has especially enjoyed his turn at Predella, the
former Shank’s & Evelyn’s, as it has helped to provide him and his staff “a stage to perform on.” “I want to give my diners an amazing experience,” the proprietor said. “That means so much to me as a cook.” Torres prepares an enormous amount of fish and tabs the Filet of Bronzino as his signature dish, as it infuses him with glee to offer a cut that customers might not normally see at other spots. Rotating aquatic delights every weekend for the threeINGREDIENTS: day-only dinner service, he never keeps the Bronzino away from con2 Bronzino filets A dusting of all-purpose sumers for too long. flour “I definitely advocate for leaving Pinches of salt and pepper the skin on, but if people remove it, Olive oil they’ll still have all the flavor left be1 tablespoon of butter hind,” Torres said. 1 teaspoon of fresh garlic Initially executing operations with A handful of shiitake musha sandwich-heavy philosophy, he has rooms and black olives come to adore adorning his menu with Marsala wine, to taste evening options, with the Bronzino being a great seller. DIRECTIONS: “I had thought of being a lawyer Apply salt and pepper to the filets, but got sidetracked into the business,” Torres said. “There have been and pass them through the flour.

Starring Davids Two junior infielders have helped to ignite a Lower Moyamensing baseball team. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor
U
pon nodding to coach Frank “Roscoe” Natale’s encouraging sentiments Monday at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets, juniors David Destouet and David Russino rushed to the field to helm their shortstop and second base duties. Though sophomore hurler Alberto Fernandez would come to appreciate their defensive contributions, their offensive feats proved more endearing, as they reached base six times in helping South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., to a 7-6 win over Delaware Valley. “This is a solid team,” Destouet said of the Lower Moyamensing-based club. “It feels good to get this victory.” The resident of the 2200 block of Morris Street has grown accustomed to triumphing, as the Rams raised their Division C mark to 6-2. The success is offering novelty to the teenager, who last year reveled only one time while an Edward Bok Technical High School Wildcat. “We played sloppy and that explains our record,” the Point Breeze dweller said of his previous squad, which the School District of Philadelphia ended in June when shuttering the East Passyunk Crossingsituated institution, formerly 1901 S. Ninth St. “We play as a team now, so it’s more fun.” Natale counts as another new countenance for the unit and has stressed generating quality at-bats and making wise pitches. “This is a nice group of kids who play hard,” the inhabitant of the 1600 block of South Juniper Street, who also oversees the school’s gridiron action, said. “The key is always putting yourself in a good position to produce good results, and we’ve done that consistently.” The Rams, 2-9 in Public League duels a year ago, have excelled at the dish, plating double-digit run tallies four times, including a 20-score effort against Bartram April 21. Finding themselves in a tightly contested battle for playoff seeding, they entered with the same league ledger as their foes and sent Fernandez to the mound to muffle their sticks. Though he vowed to heed Natale’s plea

not to walk anybody, the right-hander issues two passes in the opening frame. Combined with four stolen bases and a wild pitch, the offerings led to two runs and an immediate sense that the hosts could have a host of problems. However, as the mantra for many goes, no Public League lead is safe, and the Rams registered a rapid rally with their initial cuts. After Russino’s leadoff groundout, Destouet smacked a single to commence a streak of six straight batters reaching base. Sophomore slugger Pedro Reyes provided the highlight, as the first baseman blasted a two-run double and later crossed home on an error. Fernandez, who helped his cause by reaching on another miscue,
swiping a bag and scoring, then fanned the side before his peers would author the game-deciding plot. Again leading off, Russino muscled a single and showed off the speed that has made him a mammoth part of Southern’s resurgence. Having accumulated eight steals in the bashing of Bartram, he put himself into scoring position for Destouet after a great jump. His fellow junior ended up plunked, with both scoring on another mighty crack by Reyes. The heavy hitter and Fernandez also scored on a fielder’s choice and a groundout, giving the latter a sizeable, but not insurmountable, cushion. “Once we went up 7-2, we knew it

wasn’t over, but we felt pretty good,” Russino said. “It showed character that we were able to hang on.” The denizen of the 1000 block of Morris Street attends online school, with his status allowing him to play ball for the nearest Public League facility. The firstyear presence loves providing a spark at the top of the lineup, which the Bartram annihilation and April 22’s 6-3 handling of Randolph, in which he notched two hits and as many runs and runs batted in, make apparent. Enthused about helping the Rams to become a contender, he has especially enjoyed fraternizing with Destouet, with the upperclassmen most proud of their club’s offensive talent. After the visitors reduced the deficit to 7-3 in the fifth, the two looked for fat pitches in the home half, with the former finding none in drawing a walk and the latter reaching on an error. Fernandez walked to set the stage for Reyes to clobber another pitch with only one out, but the youth struck out, and junior catcher Walter Tweed’s bouncer to first ended the threat. “We didn’t score there, but I liked that we wanted to come right back,” Russino said. The Rams likely rued their failure, though, in the sixth, as the Warriors trimmed the score to 7-5. Matters became more menacing in the final frame, as a hit batsman, two steals and a throwing error by Tweed brought up the tying run with nobody retired. Fernandez snared a comebacker, induced a flyout and tallied his 17th strikeout, though, to secure the satisfying win. “There were some crazy moments, but you should be proud of your fight,” Natale, the South Philly Review’s 2013 Readers’ Choice High School Coach of the Year, said. “Going forward, though, there has to be more commitment.” Count Destouet among that stance’s supporters. “Our mentality is to come back if we’re down and have strong at-bats,” he said. “We want to get better, though, for sure.” The Rams played Sankofa yesterday in action that ended after press time. They host Franklin Learning Center today. SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
