Alleged shooter nabbed A Passyunk Square man is under arrest for supposedly shooting at another motorist. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing editoR

uthorities nabbed Ali Shaffiat, of the 1400 block of South 12th Street, May 13 in connection with a firearms incident three days earlier. They charged the 31-year-old with aggravated assault and related offenses for supposedly shooting at a woman in the city’s Washington Square section. At 7:20 p.m. May 10, officers responded to a shooting at 425 S. Broad St., meeting with the complainant who said that a few minutes earlier, she was driving along Ali Shaffiat Lombard Street when the operator of a red 1995-’99 Mitsubishi Eclipse began to blow his horn while hanging out the driver’s side window, police said. When she turned onto Broad Street, she heard two gunshots, with one breaking the rear window of her vehicle, which contained another adult female and a four-month-old girl. All three escaped injury-free, with the shooter taking off west on Lombard Street. Central Detectives conducted a search of all vehicle investigations involving a red Mitsubishi Eclipse within the city, resulting in a suspect and vehicle match. They requested all automatic license plate reads from the Real Time Crime Center and hit on a positive match to the surveillance video-depicted vehicle. They conducted a search for the automobile and located it on the 800 block of Fernon Street with the license plate removed. Contacting the 31-year-old Shaffiat, authorities located him on the 1600 block of South Seventh Street, where they arrested him.

Fighting words Bickering over parking skills led to a man’s arrest in Lower Moyamensing Monday.

At 11:25 a.m., the complainant, a passenger of a Ford F150 parked on the 2300 block of South Percy Street, observed a man drive down the street in a 2011 blue Mitsubishi, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The second vehicle’s operator allegedly barked at the man about the manner in which the Ford was parked and began to curse at him, too. The upset motorist supposedly exited the vehicle following responses from the complainant and reportedly produced a black firearm that he quickly pointed at the other form of transport. A witness saw the offender with the gun, Tolliver said, and asked “Is all this necessary because of words?” The alleged gun carrier went back to his ride and left the block, but the complainant and the witness, having noted the car’s license plate, called police. Viewing a photo array, they positively identified Victor Folgosa, of the 2300 block of South Hutchinson Street, as the offender. Authorities arrested the 49-year-old outside his home and charged him with simple assault and making terroristic threats.

Prostitution bust The City Wide Vice Enforcement Unit on May 9 announced the arrest of 27 men in conjunction with a weeklong Patronizing Operation. The April 28 to May 2 endeavor involved undercover decoy setups throughout the city and led to the confiscation of 19 cars and $3,995 from the individuals, whom officials charged with patronizing prostitution, solicitation and related offenses. The sting resulted in the arrest of 34-year-old Darwin Lynch, of the 2000 block of South Hollywood Street. The Grays Ferry resident awaits a June 12 motions hearing.

Shots in the dark A Sunday shooting in Point Breeze left two people injured and investigators puzzled. At 12:50 a.m., authorities ventured to 17th and Ellsworth streets, encountering the punctured parties. The complainant relayed that he had parked his car and was exiting on the passenger side when a bullet struck him. An unknown black male ended up hitting him four times on the left side of his chest and shoulder before he could return to the ride, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A witness, who reported the passenger side glass was broken, joined the wounded man in the car to transport him to the hos-

POLICE REPORt pital. Authorities, having stopped them at the intersection of South 26th Street and Washington Avenue, arranged for transport of both to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The location listed the complainant in serious condition, Tolliver said, with the witness tended to for superficial cuts on her legs because of the broken glass. A detailed description of the shooter was not available as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Faulty wiring

New Jerseyan nabbed Authorities arrested a Cherry Hill man who allegedly assaulted another male in Queen Village Saturday. At 12:38 a.m., police spotted two men scuffling in a 600-block-of-EastPassyunk-Avenue parking lot, and, upon their approach, witnessed one punch the other, reach into his pockets and make a profane request for his possessions, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After they identified themselves, the supposed aggressor fled on foot toward South Street, ducking into a bar, where they arrested him. The complainant explained that he had been walking to work when the arrestee, 21-year-old John McLaughlin of Cherry Hill, approached him to demand a cigarette. Once he refused, he suffered a blow to the face, thus inciting their altercation.

He parted with no possessions, Tolliver said, and did not report sustaining any injuries. Authorities charged McLaughlin with simple assault, attempted theft and robbery.

Constructing a mystery Police are hoping to track down the perpetrator of a Queen Village burglary. At approximately 1:31 p.m. May 15, authorities responded to a call on the 600 block of South Sixth Street, where they met with the complainant, the owner of an under-construction property, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He stated he left the site secure at 6 the night before and learned from workers reporting at 6 a.m. that day that someone had accessed a side alley window. The proprietor reported copper pipes and fittings valued at $55,000 missing. As of press time, authorities had no suspects. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

A terrible bind A man escaped with his life after two men robbed his Point Breeze home Tuesday. At 7:10 a.m., the offenders woke the male from his sleep on the 1500 block of South Taylor Street and demanded his money after producing handguns, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One figure assaulted him, leading him to reveal the location of his wallet and watch. The two continued to hit and threaten him while one pointed a weapon at him. They bound his wrists and ankles before heading to other rooms, one of which led them to a lock box containing $2,300, Tolliver said. He was able to free himself after their departure and received transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where personnel treated him for a swollen eye and lacerations and contusions to his head. He reported the aforementioned items and a Samsung Galaxy phone missing. He described the first man as black, 6-foot-1, having a thin build; holding a chrome handgun; and wearing dark clothing, gloves and a “Hannibal Lecter” mask; and the second as black, 5-foot-10, having a medium build; wielding a black handgun; and wearing dark clothing and a white dust mask.

Two men remain on the loose after robbing a Girard Estate establishment Monday. Entering Radio Shack, 2437 S. 23rd St., at 6:57 p.m., the offenders initially posed as customers before producing handguns, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After taking the workers into the back storage area and forcing them to lie down on the ground, they loaded iPhones, tablets and other items into a vehicle parked outside the back door. Also scoring the employees’ personal belongings, which included cash, identification and a cell phone, plus the site’s video system console and $750, they left the area in a maroon Chevy Impala or Malibu sedan with tinted windows. The estimated loss approaches $35,000, Tolliver said. The complainants described the first thief as black, 5-foot-9, 20 to 25 years old, having a medium build and complexion and a gap in his front teeth; sporting a beard with a mustache; and wearing a black baseball hat and a jean jacket; and the second as black, 5-foot-6, 20 to 25 years old, having a thin build and a light complexion; being clean-shaven; and wearing a black zip-up hoodie and tan pants, possibly Dickies.

When strikeouts inspire Celebrating a 30-year partnership with the ALS Assoctiation, the Phillies Phestival raised its best total yet. n By Bill Chenevert Review Staff wRiteR

n July 4, 1939, the New York Yankees’ first baseman, Lou Gehrig, gave a speech to a completely packed Yankee Stadium. Two months earlier, “the Iron Horse” benched himself after 2,130 straight games. He hadn’t been performing. Two weeks later he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and learned he had three years to live. On that day in July almost 75 years ago, slated as “Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day,” he delivered one of the most famous speeches in baseball history. “Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth,” he told a roaring stadium full of supporters. “I might have been given a bad break, but I’ve got an awful lot to live for.” At age 37, two years after his speech, his body succumbed to the disease. Fast forward to 2014 and the Phillies celebrated a 30-year partnership with The ALS Association, the team’s official charity, by raising a record-breaking $904,732 at Monday night’s Phillies Phestival. Since 1984, the team has raised more than $15 million for the fight against the always-deadly and incurable disease. Featuring a photo booth with second base-

man Chase Utley and manager Ryne Sandberg, 26 autograph stations, a silent auction and even a first-time chance to throw pitches in the bullpen, the night witnessed 7,000 fans helping the Phillies charitable efforts to reach a milestone. Ellyn Phillips, the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association’s president, was on hand to take it all in and thank every member of not only the Phillies, but the wives, staff, front office and coaches for coming out on their day off to support an important cause. “Bill [Giles] said you can be the charity of the Wives, and if you have the Wives you have the team,” the Manayunk resident explained of the charity’s first talks with Phillies’ executive management. “And after five years we became a part of the family, and now we’re the official charity of the Phillies.” The devastating neuromuscular condition has no known cause or cure. “Some go really quickly and sometimes you slowly waste away,” Phillips explained. She had no expertise on the subject until her husband was stricken with the disease. “We don’t have treatment yet that’s really effective, but things are changing so we always remain optimistic,” she noted. Ruben AmARo JR., the Phillies’ general manager and a Philadelphia native, maintained that sense of optimism as well. “It’s pretty cool that we get this kind of support from the fans, and that’s what it’s really about — the fans helping the Phillies support ALS,” he said while sitting in the Phillies dugout. “We’re really trying to support knocking it out,” he added of the ways that the ALS Association supports those afflicted but also seeks to fund research for its cure and prevention. “We hope that some of these funds

go directly towards research like stem cell research.” He also sang the praises of his team. “A lot of these guys get it; they understand the importance of what it means to give back to the community,” he noted. “The fact that we have so many players involved in the community says something about the guys that we have in the organization.” Cody Asche, the Phils’ 23-year-old third basemen, was not surprised that fans turned out en masse for the opportunity to participate in a charitable celebration. “It doesn’t shock me – the fans love their Phillies and we get so much love and support,” he said. Moneys collected will go towards a plethora of services and research.

“We provide in-home care programs, we have support groups, we have van transportation, we have an assistive technology program,” Phillips noted. “Now we have someone that works with whatever muscle is left.” She said professionals work with patients who can do as little as move their neck to turn on a television, lower blinds or alter the temperature of a house and expressed eternal gratefulness for the Phillies’ cooperation and support. “It’s a true commitment and a true relationship and partnership,” Phillips said.

SCHOOLS SALE

continued from page 1 house will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. May 29. Dr. James Moylan, the president of the Pennsport Civic Association and resident of the 100 block of Federal Street, is pretty simply hoping that whoever wins a bid for Vare wants to be a part of the community and not simply exist within it. “We’ve had multiple discussions about it and at this point there’s really nothing to talk about until there’s an active bid. When there’s an active bid, we’ll request a sit-down with a bid winner,” he explained. He added that with every project, small or large, the motto has been “I don’t want you IN our community, I want you to be a PART of our community – whatever’s more likely to get it done, that’s the one we’ll favor.” For most of these buildings, the two main questions are who will buy it and what will they do with it? And the primary answer is that schools, private or charter, are interested in returning these education centers to form, and that developers see these structures as primed for apartments and condos. Mixed use is also a possibility, but with that comes zoning variances and concerns from nearby residents. Jessica Calter, PIDC’s marketing and communications lead, is confident that her employer will make sure that communities are satisfied with bid awards. “The PIDC is very interested in making sure that the proposed use of the space is in fitting with what’s happening in the neighborhood and what community interest is,” she said. “Most communities are interested in seeing something happen to these properties, and that’ll be a step in the right direction.” Some of the quickest turnarounds could see private and charter schools moving into vacated buildings by the end of the summer. Jason Friedland, a partner at Iron Stone, a development firm that specializes in renovating and repositioning old buildings, toured Smith on Monday for a few reasons; one being that a private school client is looking to expand. “Old schools make great new schools,” he put it plainly. “I was contacted by a private school looking to expand, and the easiest thing to do is reuse it as a new school – it’s extremely cost-effective. The opportunity for them to purchase an existing school with a gymnasium and nice classrooms and corridors and a common and outdoor space is unique, so the opportunity is there.” One such educator touring Smith was Ross Hatton, Head of School for the Philadelphia Classical School, 1701 Washington Ave. The Passyunk Square resident leads a burgeoning new private school that is currently K-2 but growing to K-3 next year with about 30 students. “We have some people interested in the school who are willing to help us purchase,” he said. “Having temporary space limits the kind of people who might entertain [enrolling] – we don’t want to move every year.” However, the school is partly desirable because of its proximity to their current location. Not for its size. “Seeing it in person, it’s just massive. It’s really not going to be a good fit unless it ends up going for a lot less than asking price,” Hatton said. At 64,449 square feet with an asking price of $3 million, he was rightly skeptical of the fit. Smith was toured by way of flashlights and cell phone

flashes with no lights turned on, chalk writing still on chalkboards and miscellaneous posters about behavior and school pride still hung on walls. Fellow property investigators were overheard talking about one and two-bedroom apartments, a process South Philadelphians have seen before. Alterra, a group that maintains the Wharton Lofts, 1148 Wharton St., the former address of the 2012-shuttered Annunciation B.V.M., brought up another holding, a former district administration building at 427 Monroe St. Friedland mentioned Iron Stone’s holding, The Landreth School Apartments, 1201 S. 23rd St., as a great way for seniors to find eligible housing and stay in their neighborhoods as South Philly gentrifies. “I would imagine a lot of the neighbors want to stay in the neighborhood and can’t afford to stay,” he said of the distinct option for developers to make a percentage of the developed housing more affordable. “They’d love to be able to move to a building, but there just aren’t that many.” He also outlined the ways in which demolition and starting from scratch don’t really make sense. Estimated at $8 per foot and using Bok’s 338,000 square footage as an example, it would cost nearly $2.7 million just to take it to the ground. And then one has to build. “Smith could play out nicely for apartments but at the end of the day, it’s about how much someone will pay to buy it,” Friedland explained. As is often the case with these negotiations, developers will want the district to include zoning variances in the purchase of the buildings. “You’d be hard pressed to find a developer who wouldn’t want a zoning contingency as part of their offer,” Friedland detailed. “If I’m going to pay that money, I want to be able to build what I want there.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview. com or ext. 117.

Found in conflation

A Pennsport-based sculptress has gained renowned for refashioning discarded materials. ■ By Joseph Myers

Review Managing Editor

rleen Race Wolf would likely lambaste English poet William Wordsworth, who in “The Tables Turned” posited “Our meddling intellect/Misshapes the beauteous forms of things/We murder to dissect,” for failing to forge fascination with alteration. For more than four decades, the artist has excelled at crafting new identities for found items, receiving regard and encouraging the enhancement of creative merit. “I love giving objects a second life,” the champion for change recently said within her studio on the 100 block of Wilder Street. “I have this immense need to produce, and this medium, which is quite exciting, more than satisfies that urge.” The Society Hill resident, who has made the Pennsport space a creative complement to her abode for 20 years, is constantly canvassing her powers of perception for design ideas. Deeming that compelling because her pieces consist of castoffs, the welded sculpture practitioner approaches her passion minus any bias. “I’m an equal opportunity employer,” she quipped of letting anything appeal to her curiosity for refashioning. “It’s amazing what can come from linking these seemingly dissimilar elements.” Wolf noted her profession has moved from being a critiqued, often misunderstood calling into a viable vocation, with “Dumpster divers” adding validity to its emphasis on never ceasing to sense something’s possibilities. Accumulating parts through trips to scrapyards and endowments from acquaintances, she adores engaging in what essentially amounts to artistically-bent recycling and considers each endeavor a puzzle to revel in assembling. Her chores, which have featured such components as bumpers and gutters, involve extensive cutting and burning sessions. Where one might view the handiwork as the needless prolonging of junk’s existence, she cherishes it as an innovative measure of her refusal to set parameters for art.

LIFESTYLES “Anybody can argue that this is not worthwhile,” Wolf said of her practice while passing a metal-heavy brainchild. “I’m not someone who will agree with that because there’s so much to accomplish creatively if we just relax our notions of what counts as something worth inspecting over and over again.” Admitting that her output and those of her peers can prove tough to sell because of the overwhelming interest in paintings and prints, she also confided that although sophisticated individuals tend to gravitate toward such projects most enthusiastically, anyone can find meaning in a creation. In a sense, that could help to manifest each piece as a Rorschach test, which is fine by Wolf. “We can’t stigmatize,” she said. “Good, bad, whatever. Let’s just stop and appreciate opportunities to be creators and observers.” A lifelong Philadelphian, Wolf exhibited interest in art early in life, with drawing as a supreme attraction. Not necessarily pondering her pursuit as a career, she matured as a maker at Olney High School and The Philadelphia College of Art, now a part of the University of the Arts. “Fashion and history were huge inter-

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

ests,” she said of her collegiate success, which bred enrollment at the Barnes Foundation and employment as an illustrator. “I was fortunate that my enthusiasm paid off.” She preserved her verve via printmaking, with etchings as her principal tasks. Having participated in juried shows since 1966, she discovered her current obsession thanks to instruction at a Bella Vista location. “I loved my time there,” Wolf said of Fleisher Art Memorial, 719 Catharine St., where she intensified her life drawing skills and, in ’70, gained exposure to welded sculpture. “All these years later, I’m still as curious and committed to getting my ideas out there.” Abounding in absolute respect for the novelty that one can unearth from supposedly past-their-prime constituents, the reverent refashioner always aims for vibrant compositions, such as “Serendipity,” a beloved welded steel/enamel paint concoction. For the radiance found in that effort and its artistic brethren, Wolf has garnered considerable acclaim, with regional shows, New York- and Washington-based displays building her reputation and accolades from such entities as the Soho International Art Competition in New York City; the State Museum of Pennsylvania; the Woodmere Art Museum; and the

“Women working in welding are anomalies, but we’re nonetheless talented or passionate about what we’re doing,” she said of her longevity. “I have a large collection of pieces that proves just how much I want to give credence to my fellow females’ abilities, and, more importantly, just the joys of being aware of art for art’s sake.” The producer of pieces that reflect her nurturing nature, Wolf, who reared three children with husband Edward, who passed away in 2006, considers her creations her offspring. Like any proud matriarch, she is looking to them to make an impact and encourage similar searches for ingenuity. “Artists can be selfish, in that they don’t want anyone to have their work,” Wolf said, “but I’m extremely happy with these and believe they capture whatever I was thinking at the time. I love shaping, especially metal, which can be like a flower opening up.

Cardella By Tom Cardella Columnist

Always with me

have never been much for cemeteries. Don’t have a trace of guilt about never visiting the graves of my parents. I understand that for some people visiting the grave site of loved ones helps them pay respect and keeps their memories alive. I need no such reminder. If there is one constant in all of our lives, it is that parents are always with us. Their influence may be good or bad. Their influence is felt not only in our values, but in the way we express ourselves verbally and physically. Even fathers or mothers who abandon or abuse their children still shadow their lives. The act of abandonment or abuse only intensifies their presence. Parents inspire us or haunt us, but in the end they never really leave us. As you know, dear reader, I have often visited various periods of my parents’ lives through this column. That is how I keep them alive. I believe our immortality exists only in the memories of those we leave behind. Through these columns, I made a tangible record of how they lived and loved and died. Perhaps this way, I keep the flame of their memory flickering a little longer. In doing so, I hope that the lives of my parents will spark some recognition of your own mother and father. The commonality of experience is perhaps the strongest of the tenuous bonds that keep the human race from entirely splitting off into lonely tribes. Often one of the most difficult things for us as sons and daughters is to overcome the memory of our parents’ agony at the end. I still see my father’s cancer ravaged body, his face hideously bloated, his eyes looking at me questioningly as he faced death in his hospital bed. My father the tough cop, who dreamed of dying in a hail of bullets like a hero in a B-movie, dying the death he had always not so secretly dreaded. Helpless. In bed. My wife leaning over him and whispering, “It’s OK to let go now, Dad.” Likewise I see my mother on her death bed years later, gasping for breath behind an oxygen mask. Her living will had stipulated that she would not be placed on any artificial breathing apparatus. So there she lay, her eyes seemingly at first pleading and then angry that her son was standing by helplessly, not trying to save her. I tell myself it was her wish, but I still feel the betrayal in her eyes. Did she misunderstand what was happening? Did she think that after all the years of caring, at the end

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

I no longer cared what happened to her? Death always seems to leave us with so many questions. Mom left me with her eternal pessimism. I can’t totally shake it even on the sunniest day. There are no happy endings. We laugh today and cry tomorrow. At least I am never surprised when something doesn’t turn out right. I just visualize Mom nodding knowingly. On the other hand, my father left me with the shred of optimism that I cling to on rainy days. He was the eternal optimist. God must’ve liked his practical joke of pairing the two of them. Dad’s ship was always going to come in. His winning lottery ticket would be called tomorrow. He died before Annie sang about “tomorrow.” He could’ve been the inspiration for that song. The clash between Mom’s pessimism and Dad’s optimism was an eternal conflict in our house. They married when they were kids, and I came along too soon. Both of them were overwhelmed at times. She hated the life of a cop’s wife. Hated the shift work that made regular family meals almost impossible. Hated being left alone at night. Hated worrying about him not coming home one night. Was jealous when his job took him into places where she knew temptation lay. His response to her angry words was either to shrug her off or become silent, hoping the rage would burn itself out. She played out the scenes theatrically as if she were Joan Crawford, threatening violence to him and to herself. He was the cool one, never retaliating, so that even if he were in the wrong, even if he had precipitated the argument, his presence was reassuring. Mom’s volatility left a lasting impression on me. It seemed that we were always seconds away from becoming a newspaper headline the next day. None of us realized then that the episodes were a preview of the bipolar illness that went on to rule her life. We spent most of our lives under that cloud. In the end, only death was able to separate them. The volatility of the marriage dissipated and was replaced by devotion. Dad’s ship never found his port of call, but it never stopped him from dreaming. Mom stopped trying to hammer reality into him. She never did rid herself of her pessimism. She assumed a kind of tolerance. But she never became the willing partner of his dreams. On Saturday nights, when my wife and I go out to dinner, I see Dad staring back at me from our mirror. He winks approvingly. Sometimes I find myself uttering one of Mom’s zingers. She still talks through me. I am the repository of her cynicism. They are with me. Always. SPR Comment cardella.

“Godzilla” returns to the big screen 60 years after its debut with Gareth Edwards in the director’s chair for the summer blockbuster.

Roaring arrival n By R. Kurt Osenlund movie RevieweR

n many ways, mystery shrouds the latest incarnation of “Godzilla,” which is doubtless the closest thing to a masterpiece this blockbuster season will have to offer. To begin with, the movie is a conspiracy-theory yarn, kicked off with a gorgeous sequence in which vintage nuclear-test footage is paired with redacted opening credits (for example, Bryan Cranston’s name is nearly whited out along with other “top-secret” text). Then there’s the film’s teasing delay of its monstrous revelations — which, yes, are plural. And finally, there’s the great (and greatly seized) opportunity afforded director Gareth Edwards, whose only other film was the little-seen “Monsters.” How was this rather green filmmaker entrusted with such a bankable, identifiable Hollywood brand? And furthermore, how was he able to land the primo cast that he did? Cranston, who plays a Japan-based nuclear plant advisor who smells something fishy (hint: It ain’t sushi), is joined by Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron-Taylor Johnson and the great Ken Watanabe, who plays a scientist with all the ancient intel on the titular, magnificent beast. Whatever it was that put Edwards in the driver’s seat (and in such good company), the results pay off with towering rewards. Featuring top-shelf special effects and creatures whose massive scale is often breathtaking to witness, “Godzilla” makes metropolitan destruction tolerable again, primarily because it’s not the focal point. This isn’t another big-kid-with-a-digitalwrecking-ball actioner, but a true sci-fi thrill ride that’s focused on its creatures, its humans and its history. Evoking the camp of Japan’s own

“Godzilla” classics, Edwards doesn’t strain to incorporate his comic relief, nor does he shy away from at once upending and adhering to disaster movie tropes. Spolier alert: Most of the main characters survive, but “Godzilla” isn’t intent on glorifying its homosapiens. If anything, the sheer scale of Godzilla, et al is less intended to wow as it is to emphasize that we puny humans are rather insignificant when it comes to the long history of our world and the universe at large. And still, even with all that as an afterthought, the film is an absolute blast.

Godzilla PG-13 Three-and-a-half reels out of four Now playing at area theaters

A Birder’s Guide to

Recommended Rental Everything PG-13 Available Tuesday

A favorite at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, “A Birder’s Guide to Everything” stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (“The Road”) as a young birdwatcher who finds a presumedextinct duck amid coping with a whole flock of domestic problems. An offbeat comingof-age story ensues when the boy sets out for proof of his discovery with a group of teens and a benevolent birding expert, played by the always-excellent Ben Kingsley. The film is a harmless, yet endearing, diversion from the norm. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/ movies.com

Salvatore’s Kale with Diced Tomatoes

Supping and singing

alvatore L. Bronti, of the 2500 block of South 19th Street, can appreciate desires for simplicity, as he makes apparent in his recipe for Kale with Diced Tomatoes. It is a perfect dish to make when wanting something that is fast, delicious and healthy. The Girard Estate resident noted this can be served as a side or a main dish prepared over steamed or boiled rice. Its chief ingredient is becoming very popular among people who are trying to eat right. A nutrient-rich treat, kale factors into many dishes worldwide, so join the masses and make other vegetables green with envy. SPR

of meats, cheeses and olives is always welcoming. But chefs, please buy your provisions from DiBruno’s, 930 S Ninth St., or Claudio’s, 925 Carpenter St., and not the neighborhood deli that sells well, you know. A delicious brunch at Monsu, 901 Christian St., a few years back ended with a cheese plate that made my taste buds soar. The chef was kind enough to write down the names of the cheeses, and I immediately went to DiBruno’s to purchase them. There are those South Philly restaurants that know how to take care of their guests. (continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

estaurant dining has changed considerably within the past few years. And not for the best. Granted, prices have gone up, but that is to be expected. There are a number of things that truly irk me, resulting in a far from enjoyable dining experience. I do not like to eat in the dark. I don’t know whose bright idea it was to dim the lights so low I feel as if I am in a movie theater. Even my small flashlight does not fare well in this atmosphere. I cannot read the menu nor see the food on my plate. Last fall, I was in a restaurant so dark that all the patrons whipped out their cell phones. This is not acceptable. In the perfect restaurant, the waitstaff should be seen and rarely heard. I finally got over the “what kind of water would you prefer?” nonsense. Servers constantly interrupt my conversation to rattle on about the dish I have ordered as soon as it is set on the table. I do not need anyone to explain a dish. Several years ago, my dining companion, who was a chef, had to ask our server to leave us alone so we could chat. A reason servers may run on and on is because menus are poorly written. Years ago, patrons knew exactly what the chef was cooking up. Today, ingredients are set off by commas: scallops, kale, onion jam, garlic, white wine sauce. You get the idea. Noise used to bother me, but not as much as all of the above. If people are enjoying themselves in perfect surroundings, that’s fine with me. The dog days of summer will soon be

here. The following is a big gripe with me. It is a heat index of 100 degrees. The restaurant is air-conditioned, but the French windows are thrown open and so is the door. Why? It is not fun to eat hot food in a poorly ventilated room. I have walked out of restaurants that adhere to this policy. Ingredients and dishes that have jumped the shark are still with us. This is boring. Same old, same old. Of course certain chefs do get their creative juices flowingby using in-season ingredients. I am sick of Brussels sprouts. The little cabbages are everywhere, but they are a fall and winter vegetable that went out of season three months ago. Beet salads with arugula and goat cheese, with or without candied walnuts, first appeared on menus in 1998. Great salads need care, but I am sick of beets. Caesar salad is a triumph when it is done correctly. Unfortunately, it rarely is. I do enjoy the Caesar at Santucci’s, 901 S. 10th St. Let’s turn our attention to short ribs, which began to pop up about five years ago, and they have never left. This is a hearty fall and winter entrée, so when spring arrives, how about a nice spring chicken? Remember filet of salmon? It was the fish of the ’80s and early ’90s. Then, wild striped bass caught chefs’ attention, and it quickly gained in popularity. For the past few years, halibut has claimed pride of place on menus. I wonder which fish will be No. 1 by years-end. Jersey and Pennsylvania tomatoes will soon be here. But I don’t know why some chefs insist on using out-of-season tomatoes that look anemic and taste like cardboard. A beautiful antipasto

Flat Iron’s Brie & Fig Grilled Cheese

eing the head chef of a new restaurant comes with excitement, as well as an occasional setback in which strong problem solving skills are required. Brian Bendig is experiencing these challenges firsthand as the leader of the kitchen staff at the newly opened Whitman establishment Flat Iron, 26. E. Oregon Ave., located across the street from Tony Luke’s. A recent workday included one of the kitchen fryers breaking on him, but luckily two more were still available. Even one of his professors at Community College of Philadelphia questioning him with a “Are you sure you want to do this?” wasn’t enough to send Bendig down a different career path. Actually, he is getting a lot of enjoyment out of offering customers selections that are satisfying to his appetite, which he admits aren’t exactly the healthiest

dishes. “I love food,” he said. “I eat all of the time. I should be 300 pounds [but weigh 180].” The bill of fare at this twoweek-old, 60-seat sports bar is a little out in left field with some of its offerings. Instead of a plain and boring cheeseburger, the chef enjoys preparing a Jacked Mac N Burger. Just as its named indicates, the beef and bacon are placed between a mac-and-cheese bun. It seems customers are going to have a tough time clearing their plates, as the establishment has a promotion tied into this one. Those who finish everything on the plate, including the fries and cherry pepper, will have the meal on the house. A $25 Flat Iron gift card is an additional perk to the successful eating effort. Chicken strips coated in crushed nacho cheese Doritos, stuffed chicken wings and twisted country chicken are just a few

of Bendig’s other playful concepts. “We are doing stuff that you are not seeing anywhere else,” the Upper Darby native said. “We are not your standard sports bar.” The chef is looking forward to drawing big crowds, as he enjoys the challenge of having a full of hungry patrons waiting for their meal. “I love when there are a million things going on. That’s when I am the calmest,” he said. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner as well as late night eating and drinking, there are plenty of opportunities to put this new South Philly chef, who previously worked for Aramark at Citizens Bank Park, as well as other places, to the test. Bendig said he is sharing the Brie and Fig Grilled Cheese offering because it’s different.

“I like the idea that it’s something no one else is doing,” he said. “It’s sweet and savory.”

IngredIents: 2 slices of pound cake 4 ounces of brie 2 ounces of fig spread 1 ounce of rosemary butter

dIrectIons: Butter the two slices of the pound cake. Spread the fig puree on to the pound cake. Add the brie at room temperature. Place on a panini press for four minutes. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

VACATION EMPIRE ATLANTIC CITY OFFERS CuLTuRAL JOYS TO ExCITE ANY FAN OF bYgONE bOARdwALk dAYS. bY LORI hOFFmAN

f you’re a fan of Boardwalk Empire, you’ve probably imagined some romantic notion of Atlantic City in its Roaring ’20s glory, the names of the streets Nucky Thompson roamed echoing in your ears as if a torch singer were crooning the words off an antique Monopoly board. Well, good news for your boardwalk visit: There are several ways you can travel back in time to experience the reallife Nucky Johnson’s legacy while you’re visiting the sin-sational seaside resort where the booze once flowed in secret back rooms. You can start by renting a Rolling Chair on the Boardwalk. This hand-pushed mode of transportation has nearly as rich a history as the Boardwalk itself — the Rolling Chairs have been around since the 1880s. You can bet Nucky used them when he left his apartment at the Ritz Carlton (which is now a condominium). Or for a real taste of the era, hop aboard the Roaring ’20s Trolley Tour. The fully guided tour lasts nearly four hours and includes lunch at The Irish Pub, where you’ll be introduced to the secret speakeasy entrance. (Every Thursday from May 23 through Nov 14, 10:15am-2:30pm. 1-800-487-6559.) Want to get really in depth with Atlantic City’s history and its heritage — and see new

exhibits of fine art while you’re at it? Pay a visit to the Noyes Art Garage of Stockton College. The shiny, 21st-century building in the middle of town houses relics from bygone days and more, including the Noyes-Stockton Gallery, the Atlantic City Art Center, and an annex of the African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey, which features a prized collection of unique artifacts specific to the history of African Americans in and around the Atlantic City region. (Located at the Wave Parking Garage, 2200 Fairmount Ave., at Mississippi Ave. Free admission. Hours: Wed.-Sun. 10am-6pm.) Another place where you can step up into history is a heart-healthy climb — 228 steps! — to the top of the Absecon Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey. It was open in 1957, long before the rumrunners were sneaking their booze onto the beach, and still features its original first-order Fresnel Lens. Admission includes parking as well as access to the Keeper’s House Museum. (31 S. Rhode Island Ave. $7 to climb; $5 for seniors 65-plus; $4 for children ages 4-12; Active military & kids under 4 free. Dogs are welcome on the grounds. Sept.-June, Thurs.Mon. 11am-4pm; July-Aug., open daily

10am-5pm. 449-1360.) The Atlantic City Historical Museum at Garden Pier (New Jersey Ave. at the Boardwalk) is closed for repairs at the moment but is expected to reopen sometime this summer. The Museum showcases a remarkable collection of historical photographs; as it turns out, sometimes you find the most colorful scenes unfolding in black-and-white images. 3475839; atlanticcityexperience.org. If you want some Atlantic City history along with a fine meal, both the Knife & Fork Inn and Dock’s Oyster House have roots that stretch way back in the town’s history. Dock’s opened in 1897 and the Knife & Fork in 1912; the Knife & Fork still retains hidden cabinets built underneath certain seats where liquor could be stored during Prohibition. The best place for a historic stay just might be the newly reopened Claridge Hotel. On the outside, it looks just like it did when it first opened in 1930 — the last of the grand hotels to open in that era in Atlantic City and nicknamed “The Skyscraper By the Sea.” The address is straight out of that Monopoly set, too: Indiana Ave. and Park Place. Marilyn Monroe stayed here. (For info on reservations, 844-224-7386. Claridge.com.) n

FAMILY FROLICS O

cean City takes its motto as “America’s Favorite Family Resort” very seriously. Hey, it has to: The yearround population in the town swells from 11,700 in the winter to an estimated 115,000 to 130,000 during the summer months! With all those extra bodies to keep content and entertained, Ocean City’s vacation excitement goes into high gear Memorial Day weekend and stays that way through Labor Day. Once summer arrives, there are daily free events and entertainment throughout town — Funtastic Tuesdays on Asbury Ave.; Farmer’s Market at the Tabernacle Grounds on Wednesday; Family Night Thursdays on the boardwalk; Character Night Parade Sunday on the boardwalk — and a seemingly endless collection of kid-friendly shops, popular boardwalk eats, miniature golf courses, arcades and three amusement parks. All this before you even factor in the enticing ocean and beach. Most prognosticators are calling for a big summer season after the horrendous, snowfilled winter we put up with. Admit it — you and your family can’t wait for the chance to dip your toes in the ocean after picking up some warm cinnamon sugar donuts at Brown’s (St. Charles Place & Boardwalk).

Piers, ArcAdes, Mini-Golf

Ocean City has three amusement piers. Gillian’s Wonderland Pier on 6th St. and the Boardwalk is perfect for the younger kids with 31 rides. Open Fri.-Sun. in May and Mon. May 26; open daily June-Sept. 7. (399-7082; gillians.com.)

Ocean City has eight miniature golf courses, most of them along the boardwalk, with Pirate island as you enter town at 9th St. and Haven. The town’s most popular arcades are Jilly’s Arcade (12th St. & Boardwalk, 399-2814), Hollywood Arcade (802 Boardwalk, 391-7667) and Aquaport Arcade & Billiards ( 3349 Asbury Ave., 398-0072).

BoArdWAlk MuncHies The smell of fried goodies permeates the air as you stroll the Boardwalk looking for your favorite type of French fries — traditional, waffle or butterfly fries. A burger, hotdog, slice of pizza or a pork roll sandwich would go great with those fries and for dessert, the choices are endless including Johnson’s Popcorn, fudge from The fudge kitchen, kohr Bros. frozen custard (the orange sher-

bert twist is divine) and of course shriver’s salt Water Taffy with 70 delicious flavors.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES ALL ACROSS SOUTH JERSEY FROM BRIGANTINE TO CAPE MAY, NATURAL WONDERS AND SUNNY SIGHTSEEING ABOUND. BY RAY SCHWEIBERT

ure, Atlantic City and its coastal neighbors are visited primarily for their beach and boardwalk amenities, but all are also within striking distance of some of the country’s most impressive nature- and wildlife-related activity. Just north in Galloway Township, the

Edwin Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (fws.gov/refuge/Edwin_B_Forsythe ) is

part of the most active bird-migration routes on the Atlantic Coast, encompassing about 50,000 federally protected acres zoned for not just for bird watching and nature photography, but also hunting, fishing, paddle sports, tubing, hiking and all things outdoors. Even more impressive from a nature-lover’s perspective is one of the most expansive stretches of undisturbed wildlife anywhere in the nation, the 1.1-million-acre Pine Barrens (njpinebarrens.com). The Pines encompass part of seven South Jersey counties and include three state forests, the historic Batsto Village (part of the Wharton State Forest), and the federally regulated Maurice and Great Egg Harbor river systems. Need more suggestions for savoring Mother Nature? There’s Cape May Point State Park, Corson’s Inlet State Park,

the Strathmere Nature Area, and guided sea-life tours and beach excursions in Sea Isle City — all located in Cape May County. Closer to A.C. is Lake Lenape State Park in Mays Landing and Birch Grove Park in Northfield (go to nj.gov and click the “things to do in NJ” link for more). With naturists leaning more toward a more rudimentary lifestyle, there are many campgrounds in the A.C. area including one nestled in the Pines. The Atlantic City North Campground (campacn.com) is actually about 30 minutes north of A.C. in Tuckerton. It features designated areas for recreational vehicles and tent camping, or airconditioned cabins available to rent for those less inclined to rough it. The Winding River Campground (windingrivercamping.com) is located on the Egg Harbor River in Mays Landing, and the Shady Pines RV Resort (shadypinesrvresort.com ) is in Galloway Township and features among its amenities a 3,000-square-foot fenced-in dog run. Most campgrounds have designated areas for barbecuing, bath houses and retail areas for supplies like ice and propane. Winding River also offers canoe, tube and kayak rentals. Midway between Atlantic City and Cape May is the

Driftwood Camping Resort (driftwoodcampingresorts.com) in Clermont, which has 700 campsites on 200 acres ranging from simple tent sites to full hook-up RV sites with picnic tables, fireplaces and electric service. Most shore towns offer bicycle, kayak, personal-water-craft (PWC) or small boat rentals. PWC and boating rentals may require certain safety certification and operation is age restricted. The best suggestion would be to check with a particular municipality’s chamber of commerce (any real estate office will direct you there) for boating and bicycle rentals. For the outdoorsy day-tripper looking for something unique to do, check out the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine —a government-authorized operation that rescues marine animals and gives the public opportunities to see the rehabilitation process. The MMSC includes a Sea Life Museum on site that has scheduled guided tours (visit mmsc.org). Brigantine is also the only South Jersey beach town that offers four-wheel drive permits to access its north-end and part of its south-end (dubbed “The Cove”) beaches. Permits are $175 per 4WD vehicle and are good until the end of the

year. Vehicle owners 60 and over pay $85 for a permit. They are available at the Brigantine Community Center (265 42nd Street). Across the Absecon Inlet in Gardner’s Basin, guests can take back-bay sightseeing or dolphin-watching tours on party boats, or take back-bay fishing trips from A.C. (highrollerfishing.com), Brigantine (fishfindercharters.com), Margate (jessieofishing.com) or Somers Point (dukeofluke.com) in Atlantic County. Outdoorsmen who savor their creature comforts tend to enjoy the bed-and-breakfast lifestyle, and South Jersey alternatives are numerous. Some of the more exceptional B&Bs in our area include the Chelsea Pub and Inn in A.C. (chelseapubandinn.com), the Inn at the Irish Pub in A.C. (theirishpub.com), the Carisbrooke Inn in Ventnor (carisbrookeinn. com), the Scarborough Inn in Ocean City (scarboroughinn.com), and well over 30 Victorian-style bed-and-breakfasts in Cape May. Among Cape May’s more impressive offerings are the Virginia Hotel, with 24 unique rooms in a restored 1879 building, and the admittedly larger Congress Hall, where 19thcentury U.S. Presidents once vacationed.

DOING A.C. ALL THE WAY ALL THE SINGLE LADIES — AND GENTS— CAN FIND EXCITEMENT IN ATLANTIC CITY TO SATISFY EVERY DECADENT TASTE. bY RAY SCHWEIbERT

t takes a certain kind of town to earn the nickname “The World’s Playground.” As Atlantic City has evolved over the decades, one thing has stayed constant: its allure as a prime gathering spot for single friends seeking a weekend of fun. Heading into summer 2014, as footloose-and-fancy-free vacationers make their way to A.C. both solo and in posses, there are so many entertainment options to choose between, there’s bound to be something to please all comers. Let’s start with the core of single nightlife: the watering holes. The 21st century brought beach bars to Atlantic City, so these days it’s the regular summertime custom to sip drinks and listen to live music al fresco during the sunny hours before heading out to A.C.’s copious nightclubs later at night — popular hot spots like MIXX and mur. mur at Borgata (borgatanightlife.com), HQ and Ivan Kane’s Royal Jelly at Revel (revelresorts.com), Providence (providenceclubac.com) and Anthem (anthemlounge. com) at Tropicana, Scores (scores-ac.com) at the Taj Mahal, Dusk (duskac.com/) at Caesars, The Pool (thepoolafterdark.com) at Harrah’s and Haven (havenac.com) at Golden Nugget.

This summer the largest of the beach bars, at Trump Plaza, will be reimagined under the name Bar A’s Beach Bar and operated by a company that has long run a Belmar beachfront hot spot called Bar Anticipation. Look for some unique entertainment to unfold there, and enjoy wait service in a 10,000-square-foot cordoned-off section of the sand in front of the bar. There’s hardly a shortage of diversified eateries in A.C., but perhaps more important to singles is A.C.’s plethora of places with first-rate libations. In keeping with the skyrocketing popularity of craft beers today, Firewaters (tropicana.net) at the Tropicana has about 150 craft beers available, and places like the Mussel Bar (musselbar.com) at Revel, A.C. Bottle Company (acbottlecompany.com) and The Vagabond (vagabondac.com) in West A.C., and others have capitalized on the craft-beer craze with some outstanding selections. If beer’s not your beverage, all four Caesars Entertainment properties (Caesars, Bally’s, Harrah’s Resort and Showboat) have revamped their summer drink menus this year to include such concoctions as the Belvedere Strawberry Martini, Ginger Mojito, Ulti-

mate Rum Punch, and the Raspberry Peach Margarita. Winding down from a night of partying can be made infinitely easier with a revitalizing spa treatment, and A.C. rates highly here too. Among the more outstanding casino spas are the 32,000 square-foot Exhale (exhalespa. com) at Revel, Spa Toccare and the Waterclub’s Immersion Spa at Borgata (theborgata.com/spas), bluemercury (bluemercury. com ) at the Trop, Qua Spa (caesarsac.com ) at Caesars and Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa (reddoorspas.com) at Harrah’s. Having access to a multitude of alternatives without the need to travel has long been a high priority for the single set, and places like The Quarter at Tropicana (tropicana. net/the-quarter ) made that a reality. There’s also an abundance of shopping, dining and entertainment options at The Pier Shops (thepiershopsatcaesars.com) at Caesars, The Walk retail outlets (tangeroutlet.com) at midtown A.C., and a ton of fun stuff going on in the summertime at Gardner’s Basin in the inlet section of town. Singles who enjoy scheduling entire weekends around single events will find plenty on tap again this year, much of it easy on the wal-

let. Besides headline acts, free concert series abound, including nine shows on the beach and Boardwalk sponsored by the CRDA, the annual Chicken Bone Beach Jazz Series every Thursday night in July and August on the Boardwalk, and the A.C. Free Public Library’s International Night Series (acfpl. org) every Wednesday night in July and August on the Boardwalk. A.C. will also host one of the biggest fireworks-pyrotechnics shows in the nation on July 4, and country superstar Blake Shelton is scheduled to perform on the A.C. beach on July 31 free of charge, as is Lady Antebellum on Aug. 3. Casino hotels often run package deals on overnight stays in conjunction with headline acts in their showrooms. Singles in town for shows would be advised to keep an eye out for these and other deals on room rates. Rates fluctuate with demand, but all casino hotels offer rooms with exceptional views and luxury amenities, as does A.C.’s only “boutique” hotel, The Chelsea (thechelsea-ac.com). The Chelsea has about eight different room packages — including the “Rockstar Suite” on its top and 20th floor, where you can feel like a million bucks whether you’re flying solo or, you know, not. n

Mega Kurtz

pro sports

Kratchman said of what could have proven the final game for his star and fellow impending graduate Dante Sanguiliano, who, like Ventus, also suits up for the coach as a basketball contributor. “Don’t lack intensity for one minute.” Having helmed the baseball team since its 1987 inception, Kratchman has overseen the efforts of hundreds of teenagers and tabbed this squad as one that has often struggled to overcome deficits. With all due respect to his description, the youths immediately looked to have their foes play

A senior star and his zealous mates powered a Girard Estate baseball team to a big playoff win. n By Joseph Myers

denizen of 16th and Bigler streets notched the duel’s first score following a triple by Anderson, who became a cheerleader after crossing on a Kurtz single. The bulge became 3-0 when Sanguiliano plated his senior peer with a single, giving Ventus a bit more freedom to mix up his deliveries. The visitors, a Division C constituent with a 6-6 league ledger, scored once in the second, as the adage that leadoff walks will prove costly made believers out of the GAMP crew. Bent on rushing Rush out of South Philly, though, the Pioneers tallied

Having partially prepped for the game by watching fellow Division A member Prep Charter, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., win its AA semifinal, 7-2, against MaST Charter, the local performers wanted to make the day doubly delightful for the community yet needed to dodge drama in the third. A single, an error and a hit batsman loaded the bases quickly, but Ventus registered two strikeouts and induced a flyout to escape unscathed. The potent display continued in their next swings, as five more roster representatives received congratulations, with Ventus initiating the outburst with a two-run, two-out smack. “On the mound, I was trying to hit the strike zone consistently,” the underclassman said. “At the plate, I wanted to be aggressive and get us the momentum. Once we had it, I wanted to build on it.” Sporting a 12-1 edge, Kratchman lifted Ventus for Sanguiliano, who despite yielding a fourth-inning score, confounded the hitters as much as his predecessor had. Three walks and a hit batsman helped GAMP to score three more times on only one hit. With the mercy rule in effect, the senior sped through the fifth inning to give his gang its most productive game of the year, with 14 hits generating the blowout. “The pride really settled in today,” Anderson, who came a home run short of the cycle, said. “We’ve been able to turn things around well, especially through Jacob’s leadership.” “It’s our energy that’s been impressive,” Kurtz added. “We lost tough ones this year, but we know what it takes.” Set to attend Misericordia University to pursue nursing, the 18-year-old has loved GAMP’s effect on his personality and maturity. That it has bred amazing connections, too, resonates as well. “Great coaching, great teammates, I’ve had it all,” Kurtz said. The Pioneers Class A final against Masterman at Richie Ashburn Field, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue, ended after press time.

acob Kurtz entered Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St., nearly eight years ago with immense interest in mastering the violin. Fortunately for the site’s baseball team, the West Philly inhabitant soon showed a propensity for propelling and smacking fastballs, too. Reaching base four times in Monday’s Class A semifinal, the youngster helped to orchestrate a virtuoso performance for his club, which annihilated Rush, 15-2, at Citizens Adjusters Park, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue. “Baseball came to have more influence than music, and I’ve tried to be a great competitor for a top school,” the senior said after the blitz that gave the institution a chance at its ninth classification crown within the last decade. “Our guys feel the same, and that shows with a result like this.” Garnering their fourth win in five tilts, the Pioneers improved to 6-10, a mark that shows the difficulties of the season’s early stages. Minus Kurtz, who was recovering from a concussion, the diamond figures failed to muster consistent offensive efforts, but they pulled off the thrilling endof-the-regular-season efforts that have become the hallmark of coach Art Kratchman’s charges. “Pride brings this team together,” junior shortstop Dylan Anderson said of seeking Public League renown. “There’s nothing we want more than to go out there and represent GAMP with class.” The 16-year-old occupant of Eighth and Johnston streets capably handled pitching duties as well this year, but Kratchman, a three-time South Philly Review Readers’ Choice Coach of the Year, elected not to send him or Kurtz, a two-time All-League pick, to the mound Monday, deciding on sophomore right-handed Matt Ventus to hush Rush. “I want to see a sense of urgency,”

hiccups like any team, but in the playoffs, coming back strong shows maturity.”
