What’s your reaction to the School Reform Commission’s decision to refrain from issuing a budget by May 31?

“I think it’s a disgrace when elected leaders, who are not from here, make choices that affect our city youth that are not for the better.” Miguel Rivera, Broad and Porter streets

“It’s ridiculous. We need more funding.” Frank Millett, 10th and Wolf streets

The choice To the Editor:

[On May 29] Superintendent William Hite and the School Reform Commission made a bold move and decided not to pass a devastating school budget until requested revenues are received. In doing so, they put the pressure where it belongs: On our elected officials at the city and state levels who are ultimately responsible for funding the education of our children. Hite and SRC Chair Bill Green have our support for finally acknowledging what parents and students and staff have been saying all year — our schools are not safe without responsible funding. In the last week, people have responded with anger, marches and calls for funding following the heartbreaking death of a 7-yearold at Jackson Elementary without a school nurse present. Parents United has filed 800-plus complaints from 90 different schools

on damages of inadequate funding, and has called for District officials to take a stand and redo the proposed fiscal year 2015 budget. Some of the city’s most respected principals have publicly testified that the budget cannot sustain safe, much less educational, environments for children. The day before the meeting, a coalition of groups delivered 40,000 signatures to abolish the SRC. This has been a non-stop call from parents and the community: these budgets are immoral. They harm children, staff and families. We are glad the SRC and District have heeded this community call. No longer will our children be made to pay the price for the failure of elected officials who have balked, delayed and evaded their responsibilities. Our mayor has failed to allot additional money to schools in his own budget, and City Council — which committed to $120 million for schools —

must guarantee at least $75 million more. The biggest failure comes from our governor and the state of Pennsylvania who must move immediately to restore charter school reimbursements, fix special education funding and implement a fair funding formula. As parents, we pledge to bring the full weight of our voice and anger over the current conditions within our schools to City Hall and Harrisburg. We also call upon the Chamber of Commerce, the Philadelphia Parking Authority and our leading educational institutions to step to the plate. The Chamber of Commerce has vocally expressed support for our schools, but has opposed a number of funding options without providing any alternative funding solutions. We ask the business community to partner with parents to ensure finding the remaining $320 million in revenue which will begin to stabilize Philadelphia schools. We have provided the Chamber with many suggestions on how to do so. The Philadelphia Parking Authority will soon put up for sale 45 new taxi cab licenses expected to bring in anywhere from $18 to $22 million. As it stands, the PPA is

the sole beneficiary of this windfall. That money should go toward helping needy Philadelphians — our schools, expanded wheelchair accessible cabs and a relief fund for cab drivers injured or hurt on the job. Finally, Philadelphia leads the nation in outstanding higher education institutions, who have an opportunity to connect their future with ours by launching a start-up PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) program for Philadelphia schools. Cities like Boston demonstrate great civic leadership through their PILOT program. Philadelphia’s robust college and university community has an opportunity to prove the same. This has been a devastating year for Philadelphia schools, marked by multiple school tragedies, violence and stripped down classrooms. Our schools are not educationally sound or safe. There is no pride in a school system like this. Our elected officials must act and act now.

Mob soldier sentenced

esponding to a report of a large fight in front of Cookie’s Bar, 2026 S. Third St., just before midnight, authorities took testimony from the quartet of complainants and a pair of witnesses. The first victim observed his friend, the second unfortunate individual, arguing with the unknown offenders, whom he noted had their hands in their pockets, outside the Pennsport establishment. When the second defendant punched his peer in the face, he tried to prevent further damage but ended up suffering a cut to his arm that required 10 stitches, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. His friend told law enforcement agents he had gone inside the site to talk with a friend and, upon his exit, had accidentally bumped into the first defendant, who allegedly said “What are you looking at?” Minus provocation, he contends, two of the defendants punched him, and he began to wrestle with the first supposed attacker. While on the ground, he claims the second aggressor cut the third and fourth complainants with a utility knife. He stated he does not know the alleged primary figures but identified the third as his neighbor. He sustained a laceration above his right eye and a swollen face and nose. The third victim divulged that he had been at O’Malley NYA, 2024 S. Third St., when he heard the argument. Approaching the purported second violent individual, he asked why he had his hands in his pockets, Tolliver said, before supposedly suffering a swipe from a utility knife. A friend of all three other complainants, he added the defendants, all strangers to him, attempted to flee the area in a truck. The final complainant noted he had gone outside shortly after the first two victims left the primary watering hole and suffered a strike to the left side of his face due to the first defendant’s use of a wrench. He likewise wrestled with the alleged first attacker. Authorities arrested Leonardo Phillip Morsa, 34, of the 2300 block of South

Through an investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, the Philadelphia Police Department and the Pennsylvania State Police, the United States Attorney’s Office last week sentenced Eric Esposito to a 27-month prison stay for participation in a Girard Estate-based illegal gambling business. The week-long trial of the 43-year-old concluded he had used video poker machines at the First Ward Republican Club, 2300 S. Woodstock St., to generate profit for the Philadelphia La Cosa Nostra Family. United States District Judge Eduardo C. Robreno delivered the news and ordered him to three years of supervised release and a $4,000 fine. A report on the investigation noted Esposito becomes the 13th La Cosa Nostra individual to plead guilty or end up convicted as part of the case and the 12th to receive a sentence.

Stranger danger

Three aggressors made it a bad night for a man in Passyunk Square Monday. At 10:21 p.m., the complainant was talking on his phone while walking on the 1100 block of Ellsworth Street when the figures walked toward him, with one punching him several times in the face and taking his wallet, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The trio then went into his pockets and nabbed his identification card, $300 and two credit cards before fleeing on foot, with the victim last observing them heading toward 12th Street. He suffered minor swelling on his cheek and complained of pain but did not seek immediate attention. He tabbed all the attackers as black, with the first being 5-foot-9, 18 to 20 years old; and wearing a white Tshirt and dark pants; and the second and third as the same ages and wearing the same clothes.

POLICE REPORt Far from conservative Police arrested a Newbold man for his alleged assault of another male on Sunday. At 3:12 a.m., police received notice of an incident inside the Republican Club, 1743 Snyder Ave. They arrived at Methodist Hospital and encountered the complainant and witnesses, who had taken a taxi from the Newbold site, and learned the former was using the location’s bathroom when the supposed aggressor allegedly attempted to enter the lavatory behind him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The two became involved in a verbal spat that soon escalated and ended with the offender’s reported striking of the victim with a glass beer bottle. The incident caused a severe laceration to his left eye, a blow that is likely to lead to permanent vision loss, Tolliver said. He received a transfer to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital shortly after, with the witnesses helping authorities to ascertain the supposed attacker’s identity. They proceeded to the 2200 block of South 15th Street and arrested Bryce Nadeau, 41, upon a positive identification and charged him with possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and two counts of assault. He posted his $3,000 bail and awaits a June 19 preliminary hearing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Authorities are hoping to obtain two figures for their robbery of a Grays Ferry business. At 2:11 p.m. Friday, they headed to Auto Part International, 1201 S. 32nd St., and met with the site’s manager, who relayed that two males entered the site, one donning a ski mask, the other mask-free but armed with a silver handgun, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They first ordered him and three other individuals to drop to the floor, then instructed them to head behind the counter. The complainants emptied their pockets, with the duo securing their cash, a cell phone and identification cards and an unknown amount of money from the register, Tolliver said. The second offender took a black box from under the counter, and he and his accomplice fled the area in a charcoal gray Chevy Equinox last seen heading westbound on Grays Ferry Avenue. The complainants described the wanted men as black, with the first being in his 30s, 5-foot-10 to 6 foot, 240 to 280 pounds; having a beard; and wearing a black mask; and the second as being in his 30s, 5-foot10 to 6 foot, 215 to 230 pounds; having a

beard; and wearing a baseball cap and a gray sweatsuit. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Violent vengeance An upset man attacked another male whom he suspected of moving in on his mate in Whitman. Police ventured to Nickel’s Tavern, 2655 S. Second St., at 4:46 p.m. Sunday, where they learned from the complainant that he had having a conversation with a woman when her beau expressed anger over their interaction, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After the man pushed the patron, the two became involved in a fight, with the aggressor swinging a broken beer bottle at his prey. The glass wielder fled the tavern but returned within two minutes, Tolliver said, with a large steel link chain, which he swung three times, striking the complainant, who received a transport to Methodist Hospital, in the head, hand and hip. He fled the scene and headed on Oregon Avenue toward Front Street. The victim described the offender as white, in his early 50s, 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds; having a mustache, salt and pepper hair; and wearing a white tank top and blue shorts. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/ forms.

Wallet woes A man had to give up his wallet’s contents to a knife-wielding aggressor in Newbold last week. At 4:20 a.m. May 29, the complainant was walking along Broad and Mifflin streets when the unknown figure approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Pointing a blade at his target, he was able to have him hand over the holder, from which he removed $132, before entering a silver Chevrolet Silverado that sped off heading southbound along Broad Street. The victim tabbed the attacker as white, 40 to 50 years old; having a thin build and dark hair; missing teeth; armed with a knife; and wearing a gray hoodie.

Keeping the faith

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced plans to merge parishes, affecting four South Philly churches. n By Bill Chenevert Review Staff wRiteR

he Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced Sunday that 16 parishes across the five-county region would be closing their doors and merging with neighboring sites. When the official changes go into effect on July 1, the Archdiocese will have 219 parishes, down from 266 in 2010. In South Philadelphia, the affected parishes are St. Monica, 2422 S. 17th St., St. Edmond, 2130 S. 21st St., St. Richard, 3010 S. 18th St., and Holy Spirit, 1900 Geary St. Even though St. Edmond and St. Monica have been merged for a year now, this announcement made it official that St. Edmond will be officially deemed a worship site. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput reviewed recommendations from the Archdiocesan Strategic Planning Committee after ongoing and collaborative discussions fostered through what’s known as the Parish Area Pastoral Planning. According to a statement from the diocese, this process began in the fall of ’10 when a letter was issued to parishes that laid out what would be “an in-depth examination of all parishes in order to gauge whether they possessed the necessary resources to remain vibrant and sustainable faith communities.” As many know in South Philadelphia, parishes are often stressed as one’s neighborhood of origin as opposed to their lived-in residence, something Ken Gavin, the director of communications for the Archdiocese, is well aware of. “People have a strong identity as Catholics to their parish,” he said. “We make every effort we can to preserve the church buildings of the former parishes. The ability for people to go there is important.” As churches become worship sites, they remain available for use and Masses will be offered at the new pastor’s discretion. Weddings, funerals, feast days and traditional and ethnic devotions will continue

St. Edmond parishioners will attend Mass at St. Monica Church as a result of sparse attendance over the last several years.

to take place at worship sites. The quantification of these special occasions at churches, baptisms and weddings namely, informed the diocese and the archbishop of parish vitality. St. Edmond performed seven baptisms and one marriage in ’08 and four baptisms and one marriage in ’12. Weekend Mass attendance at the West Passyunk site declined from 367 to 259 in those four years. Meanwhile, at Girard Estate’s St. Monica, the statistics are much more impressive: in ’12, it performed 86 baptisms and 47 marriages with a 2,027-figure for weekend Mass attendance. “If you don’t have a lot of baptisms or weddings, then you have an aging parish,” confirmed St. Monica’s Rev. Joseph Kelley, who splits his time between the two churches that are about a mile apart. An aging parish does not necessarily render the parish ineffective. Kelley attributes much of the parish shakeups to a lack of interest in spiritual folk seeking priesthood. “This has to do with lack of priestly vocations. If people aren’t becoming priests then how could they staff all these parishes?” he asked. “When I first came to St. Monica’s, there were six priests living here,” he explained, noting that at the moment it’s himself, an assistant and a retired priest. Beyond that, there’s also an undeni-

able downturn in Catholic devotion in the younger generation. In fact, Kelley deemed it a “drought.” “We certainly are the generation that no longer looks outside of itself,” he bemused. “I don’t think we acknowledge God generally — we just look for ourselves to do everything. God’s not a part of the modern-day fabric. If you walk down Passyunk Avenue, and ask how many people read a chapter of the Bible [that day], you won’t get many hands.” While attendance, priest availability and special occasion figures are factors in combining parishes, there are also greater and larger-scale shifts occurring, and the diocese says that they’re attempting to galvanize and strengthen the Catholic community in Philadelphia. “It’s really not just one factor, it’s looking at all of them as a big picture,” Gavin explained. It’s also “demographic shifts, parish financial condition and condition of facilities.” Gavin pointed to the birth of many of these churches sprouting from large waves of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th century that were largely Irish, Italian and Polish. The more modern waves of immigration have been from Latin America, Central America, Vietnam and Korea. “The broader challenge is certainly

the evangelization of young people and evangelizing to those [newer immigrant] groups and making sure that we can serve their unique needs,” Gavin elaborated. The other South Philly parish merge, Holy Spirit into St. Richard, has many parishioners grieving. It was more unexpected than the Saints Monica and Edmond decision and even Rev. Michael Reilly at St. Richard was a little taken aback. “It was a surprise to many people, on both sides,” he admitted and empathized with those who are saddened that they won’t be able to regularly attend Mass at the church they’ve frequented their whole lives. “My heart is breaking for my parishioners who are going through this on that side of Packer Avenue.” But Reilly also points to a generation shift in faith that’s a blight on the diocese. “God is no longer a priority,” he added with grief. “When you’re talking to young families, everything comes first before church. It’s a different mentality and it’s a struggle for us as priests.” Nonethless, he still sees strength in his devoted parishioners. “The Catholic faith is alive and strong down here,” he noted. “The reality of the situation is how to make it stay vibrant and strong over all this and for the years to come.” His Marconi church saw 45 baptisms and 12 marriages in ’12 with weekend Mass attendance at 656. Holy Spirit, while its mass attendance was comparable at 681, performed 20 baptisms and six weddings in ’12. This merge may have been foreshadowed by Holy Spirit’s elementary school merger with St. Richard School to form St. Pio Catholic Regional School, 1826 Pollock St., in 2012. Holy Spirit had a decent registration history, but enrollment shrank to 119 before the merger. While the transitions are set to be official July 1, the diocese is well aware that they will be ongoing and challenging. “The pastors of the new parishes have their work cut out for them,” Gavin noted, pointing to the collaborative and inclusive process between the diocese and parishes. “This way of doing things in mergers is a sea change from how the diocese would have handled this process 25 or 30 years ago. We did make a very concentrated and conscientious effort to include as much input and dialogue [as possible].” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

and blueberries for tasting. It was her second visit to the site as she previously offered squash, greens and a balsamic vinaigrette recipe. As part of the “Seed to Snack” program, she provided a 90-minute informative lesson and an exciting finale snack to compel students to opt for fruit and vegetables over chips and candy. “They smell like they’re from the farm,” one student eagerly reported when Nadel asked for first impressions of Dixie cups that contained one of each berry. “They smell delightful,” another said. After each berry was tasted, Nadel instructed students to record three descriptive words. “Tasty, juicy and delicious,” one student said about his strawberry. “Disgusting and sour,” another added, describing his blueberry. “Everybody’s got totally different taste buds,” Nadel encouraged even the naysayers. “The important thing is that we keep trying [new foods]. If you don’t like it this time, you might like it next time. Typically it takes eight to 14 times of trying it.” “The fourth graders are at that perfect age to understand nutrition but not too old to be set in their ways,” Maureen Furletti, the IBC senior foundation analyst, said. She also reported that 43 percent of children aged 6 to 12 are obese or overweight in southeast Pennsylvania, with the figure rising to 50 percent in Philadelphia. In an effort to improve the dialogue around child wellness, the Foundation called on Drexel University to process data collected from the three-year process. “We’re trying to do it the smart way by including Drexel so that we can get some metrics from the program about how it works and add to the literature about public wellness,” Furletti noted. The Foundation was formalized in 2011 and the Healthy Futures initiative began in October of ’12 and reports a reach of nearly 1,000 fourth graders and, by extension, their families. The berries lesson concluded with a smoothie snack that Nadel made with orange juice, bananas, yogurt and a little spinach. Each student walked away with a recipe to take home. Directed to raise their hands if they liked their smoothie and every student responded favorably. When asked for some reaction words, they shouted “tropical,” “delicious,” “fruitilicious” and “smooth.” Another called out “I don’t even taste the spinach!”

day or week. Many South Philadelphia homes suffer from a simple lack of access to healthy foods. “If you’re a low-income family trying to make it work in a place where there’s not a lot of access to healthy food, you can buy a lot more calories of junk food with a dollar,” she noted. Herrenkohl also reported that “most kids who eat school lunch eat about 50 percent of their calories at school and that’s assuming that you’re eating dinner at home.” And as Furletti admitted, as a mother, sometimes “it’s just easier to order the pizza or go through the McDonald’s drive-thru than to cook a fresh meal.” The Vetri Foundation’s lunch program guarantees a well-rounded meal with a protein, a grain, a fruit and a vegetable and milk. The program also brings cooking instruction into classrooms. “Imagine 25 students in a classroom and they all have a cutting board with a plastic knife with a potato or a tomato. They’re touching it and tasting it,” Herrenkohl said. The goal here is to encourage local youth to head to their corner store to ask “Can I buy onions and potatoes?” instead of Doritos. Aleshia Smith, a school-certified and CHOP registered nurse, has visited St. Gabriel as part of the “Stay Well” initiative. She also functions as a sometime school nurse but also teaches lessons on hand-washing and healthy food choices. “We talked about hand hygiene and keeping our germs to ourselves and germ transmission,” she explained.

A Bella Vista bard is engaging in readings to back his award-winning chapbook. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

elly McQuain has a stalwart stance on poetry, believing that though it is “serious business,” it should be a form of play. The Bella Vista resident has become a reverent reveler recently, as he has been touting titles from “Velvet Rodeo,” his award-winning chapbook, with two readings scheduled over the next week. “I aimed to create an arc to relay numerous experiences, with the tone going from visceral to reflective,” the 47-year-old said of the work, which the California-based BLOOM Literary Journal granted its poetry chapbook prize late last summer. “Combining the experimental and established elements, I’m going for emotional honesty and honoring my impulse to tell stories.” The venerated versifier began to compile the contents for “Velvet Rodeo” two years ago, sending material to the Golden State last June. Various settings inform the 13 pieces, with his Bella Vista realm receiving recognition in “Lent.” The locations also reveal his regard for travel and allegiance to observation. Aside from the designation-infused studies, McQuain engages in divulging his maturation’s methods through autobiographical explorations. No matter their structural or thematic identity, McQuain wants his words to accomplish a heartwarming task. “I love communicating,” he said of perfecting his poetry as a public offering rather than as a private exercise. “I want people when reading or hearing my poems to be able to say ‘I got it.’ Poetry seems like a foreign animal to so many people, but I don’t want to be obtuse or obscure.” In promoting “Velvet Rodeo,” which takes its name from the volume’s initial piece, the Pushcart Prize-nominated “Scrape the Velvet from Your Antlers,” and the final word of the last piece, “Mechanical Bull,” McQuain hopes for harmony tonight at the Mount Airy-based Big Blue Marble Bookstore and Wednesday at the Center Citysituated Fergie’s Pub. Those appearances figure to offer local praise complementary to the reception he reaped during last month’s New Orleans-based Blood Jet Poetry Series and Saints and Sinners Literary Festival. Any endeavor stands to engender camaraderie among individuals who love lauding

language and its possibilities. McQuain finds the wonder of words keeps compelling him to explore his artistic sensibilities and sensitivities. Those aspects guided the composition of “Velvet Rodeo” and will factor into the fleshing out of a larger inthe-works collection. “I’m very happy to have received the prize from BLOOM,” McQuain said of the publication, which falls under the focus of the Arts in Bloom Project Inc.’s enthusiasm for championing queer artists, writers and audiences. “It will help to get me taken more seriously as a writer; it’s a humble start.” THE WORLDLY WORDSMITH initiated his writing journey as a West Virginia youth with an affinity for comic books. Along with penning stories, McQuain developed an interest in visual arts, a passion that perusers of “Velvet Rodeo” will observe courtesy of its cover. He gravitated toward poetry in junior high school and wrangled his resolve to write first at West Virginia Wesleyan College then Temple University. “I wanted a big urban experience,” McQuain said of selecting Philadelphia’s role in assisting his scribbling. “I felt it could help me because of its diverse identity and abundance of opportunities to observe and create.”

His love affair with the city and the institution yielded a Masters degree in fiction, which gained a companion upon his acquiring a Master of Fine Arts in drama and communications/creative writing through the University of New Orleans’ low-residency option. Well traveled, with treks to spots such as the Czech Republic, France, Mexico and Spain for retreats, he has simultaneously found himself noting his brief presence in yet colossal significance to the world.

he could work on smaller, more concentrated projects teeming with narrative qualities. “I’m planning a return to prose,” McQuain, whose love for the form comes through in his One Book, One Philadelphia Selection Committee role, said. “I feel fortunate to have options in getting my ideas out there to generate talks and pick up more concepts for future endeavors.” A two-time Pennsylvania Council on the Arts fellowship winner, the never-stagnant

‘I always want to draw on a variety of resources to encourage understanding. There are more similarities than differences to discuss.’ -Kelly McQuain “I always want to draw on a variety of resources to encourage understanding,” McQuain said. “There are more similarities than differences to discuss.” For a long period, he abandoned poetry in exploring those likenesses, becoming a commended essayist, reviewer and story producer. Carpal tunnel surgery altered his focus and returned him to the genre, where

scribe cherishes chiding notions of what good writing entails and analyzes creativity’s boundless avenues by helming the literary salon Poetdelphia and serving as a professor at the Community College of Philadelphia. “I want to dissolve barriers, especially among my students, whose ability to overcome humbling life experiences often

comes through in work that just blows my mind,” McQuain, a 23-year employee at the facility, said. That mindset includes an urge to have their output succeed on the page and the stage. Practicing what he preaches, the poet encourages taking advantage of “happy accidents” to solidify poetry as a methodical yet instinctive pursuit. While advocating for accepting random blessings in the quest for creative distinction, he is also enjoying designed bliss in the romantic realm, as he and partner John have built a 19-year union that will likely yield a winter wedding. “He’s stuck by me despite my dragging him to poetry readings,” McQuain quipped. “He’s been such a supporter.” In “Creation Myth,” a study of his family, McQuain posits “It’s a miracle every desire doesn’t drive us berserk.” One could counter by saying the revered writer has gained enviable sanity by going after and achieving so much. “I have so much left to address,” he said. “Who knows how it will take shape? I’m curious to see.” SPR Visit kellymcquain.wordpress.com. Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

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?

Cardella By Tom Cardella Columnist

Extention cord

n a short while, Temple University baseball will be history, another victim of budget cuts. College baseball in this part of the country does not have anywhere near the fan attraction of sports such as football and basketball, so there will be relatively few mourners at the wake, but I will be one of them. Back in 1960, I was sports director of WRTI, the Temple radio station. We broadcast Big 5 basketball games from the Palestra and Temple’s home football games. The one thing we did not do that I had a passion for was to broadcast baseball. With a grit and determination I have only shown rare flashes of since, I set out to broadcast Temple baseball. The school played its home games in Mount Airy then, at a place called Erny Field. Despite Temple’s having a wonderful baseball program under coach Skip Wilson, the site was rudimentary at best. It was not much better than many sandlot fields you could find all over the city. There were a few bleacher seats where the girlfriends of the players, the neighborhood kids and an occasional senior sat and watched the games. No outfield fences. Worse for a clueless sports director named Cardella, the power outlet that would allow us to broadcast the games was about 1,000 feet away from the bleachers that would be our broadcast location. After huddling with my technical consultant, we figured out that we could solve the problem with a most useful device known as an extension cord. Somehow I convinced the tight-fisted head of the Communications Department to allow us to purchase 1,000 feet of extension cord from a local hardware store. The guy who ran the store thought we were nuts. And thus was born the first time Temple baseball was broadcast (to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln — something the world or even the school little noted). The first thing I realized about our broadcast was that they lacked excitement; the team was great, but there was no crowd noise. Huddling up with the same technical genius, we figured out he could run a tape loop of crowd noise under my play-by-play. The problem was corrected instantly. Perhaps we did go a little overboard. The crowd noise we used made the Temple-LaSalle game sound as if we were broadcasting the seventh game of the World Series. Our college station was not permitted to sell advertising time; hence there were no

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

commercials. I admit to being a bit frustrated by that because everybody knew that to be a great play-by-play guy, you had to deliver a great beer commercial. Brew rarely touched my lips (except one time at one of Hannah Drossner’s parties where I chugalugged enough beer that I spent a good part of the night getting rid of it in her bathroom). Nevertheless, I was considered by my college professor as being very skilled at delivering a beer commercial (“Just flip the cap off a frosty bottle of Schaefer beer. Schaefer--man, that’s real beer”). To compensate for the lack of commercials, we did public service spots, which also caused a problem when my color analyst in his zeal for the American Cancer Society, proclaimed at the end of an inning, “On the cancer scoreboard, it’s 2-1 Temple.” One afternoon, I decided to use three of us on the broadcast (perhaps a visionary forerunner to the Monday Night Football telecasts that starred Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford and Dandy Don Meredith). One of the guys was on crutches, a fact that later would prove to have some significance. Barry M. considered himself a ladies’ man (the norm for a college male). That didn’t bother me until it proved to affect our scheduled broadcast that afternoon. When it came time to leave for the game (it takes time to plug in 1,000 feet of extension cord), Barry M. was absent. I was later to find out that the crutches hadn’t prevented him from walking a girl to the subway. Fortunately for us (myself and Allan Hotlen — known as “Hotsy” in his collegiate life), Barry M. had left his car keys in the studio. I made the kind of forceful decision that I like to think Gen. Douglas MacArthur would have made in the Pacific during World War II, so I took Barry’s car keys, leaving him behind chatting with the girl at the subway stop. I didn’t drive then and still don’t, but I had the intrepid “Hotsy” with me. It was only after we started off down North Broad Street that I realized the car did not have automatic transmission and “Hotsy” had never driven a shift. Let’s just say it was not exactly a smooth ride toward our destination. “Hotsy” was game. We laughed a lot. It was sometime during the middle of the game when fate struck us a cruel blow. Barry M. (apparently with the help of an emergency driver) showed up waving his crutch, and screaming, “Cardella, you stole my car” (I contend that since I don’t drive, that on a technicality it is “Hotsy” who bears that burden on his conscience). There were a few kids in the stands, and they began to chant like a Greek chorus — “Fight! Fight!” I am proud that I calmly continued my play-byplay. I wonder, whatever happened to that 1,000 feet of extension cord? SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

The vindictive Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) is the central character in this reimagined classic Disney fairy tale.

Cuddling the villain n By R. Kurt Osenlund movie RevieweR

aleficent is arguably the most compelling diva in Disney’s rogues gallery of villains, so it makes sense that Angelina Jolie, one of the most visually compelling actresses ever to grace the screen, was tapped to embody “Sleeping Beauty’s” horned sorceress. In character, the actress more than delivers, with prosthetic cheekbones and glowing irises accompanying a deliciously aloof attitude, which proves just the right tone for the enigmatic figure. She’s as grand a visual effect as any filmmaker could hope for, which is what makes Robert Stromberg’s cluttered CG palette all the more egregious. Making his directorial debut, Stromberg previously served as an effects supervisor on “Avatar,” “Alice in Wonderland” and “Oz the Great and Powerful,” and if you thought all of those films shared a comparable, redundant aesthetic, you know what you’re in for with “Maleficent.” Flat-looking creatures both fearsome and friendly run amok in Maleficent’s native fairy land, which is replete with Strombergian bioluminescent flora. All of this feels like an affront not just to the viewer, but to Jolie, who needs no help in the eye-candy department. Written by Linda Woolverton, who also penned “Alice in Wonderland,” “Maleficent” overloads its narrative too, straining to cook up an origin story while tying it to the hallmarks of 1959’s animated classic. Amid the fracas of fantasy-land wars and the vengeance Maleficent seeks after ex-beau Stefan (Sharlto Copley) steals her wings, characters like Prince Phillip (Brenton Thwaites) are left with mere minutes of screen time. And as it aims to humanize an apparently misunderstood baddie, the film also strips Maleficent of what made her interesting in the first place.

It’s one thing to try to explore the roots of evil; it’s quite another to snuff out that evil altogether, making a formidable character into a vanilla cliché who’s both un-engaging and unrealistic. “Maleficent” is so busy trying to make its eponymous character accessible that even her feminist aspects fall by the wayside. There’s an intriguing maternal element involving Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) that surely attracted Jolie, but it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting a Maleficent this cuddly.

Recommended Rental Non-Stop PG Available Tuesday

You may think you’ve seen enough airplane-set thrillers to last a lifetime, but “NonStop,” a film that unfolds in real time, puts a fresh spin on the subgenre, casting middleaged action star Liam Neeson as a flawed air marshal, who receives hijacker threats come via on-screen text message, which adds aesthetic flair that transcends gimmickry. Though you may see some of the twists coming, the film shrewdly incorporates new media to show you don’t need a gun to spread terror rapidly.

Room-to-Room Home Additions

Add quality and comfort to your favorite rooms (Family Features) When considering a home renovation, think outside the box for design inspiration and setting the overall tone. With homeowners staying in their homes longer due to the economy, renovations should focus on usability and personal style. For those homeowners looking to sell, the market is still very much a buyer’s space, so quality additions that increase value are certainly top of mind. Luckily, there’s no need knock down walls or move plumbing to make an impact – simply start with small, quality updates to pack a dramatic punch for less money. Here are some ways to add quality and comfort within the different spaces of your home:

entRywAy As the first thing visitors see, your front door should always provide a good impression, reflecting the beauty that emanates throughout your home. With doors, matching the exterior and interior creates a flow into outdoor living spaces. Using doors as a part of the overall aesthetic can also allow for some creativity with glass accents or bold color choices. Choose a reliable door manufacturer, such as Masonite, that offers a wide breadth of finishes and styles using wood, steel and fiberglass.

But starting with the addition of a new vanity, like one of the many beautiful options from Ronbow, will set the stage for your bathroom and provide a focal point for the other design elements.

Add decorative touches to your living room with repurposed items found around the house. Fill a decorative pitcher or an old tin watering can with fresh flowers from the garden to add elegance to your coffee table. Wrap assorted globe lighting fixtures or mason jars with wire and hang them in a grouping to display votive candles. For an eclectic and shabby chic feel, turn a vintage drawer on end to use as a bookshelf or bring in an old wooden crate to use as a side table.

Society Hill Society n By Phyllis Stein-Novack RestauRant RevieweR

he pleasurable aroma wafting through the room at Society Hill Society immediately put me in good spirits. The restaurant recently replaced The Artful Dodger, which had been in business at this classic Headhouse Square location for many years. The sparse but welcoming colonial-style atmosphere might have brought a smile to Ben Franklin’s face. There are simple wood tables and chairs, booths, a copper-topped bar and perfect lighting. I decided a comfortable bar chair would afford me a fine vantage point to discover what was simmering in a large pot near the bar. “We’re making bitters,” one of the bartenders said as he continued his gentle stirring of the homemade magical potion that finds its way into any number of drinks. The aroma of fresh herbs made me crave something new to drink. The bartender made me a Rittenhouse rye old-fashion ($11). It included bitters, a hint of sugar and an anise-flavored liqueur topped with a lemon peel. I figured if I am to dine on American fare, with a strong nod to Pennsylvania ingredients, bourbon or rye was the way to go. Edward enjoyed a martini ($13) served in a champagne coupe. I immediately took to the menu because it contained 24 items from bar bites to desserts. Less is more. We enjoyed root vegetable chips with a homemade onion dip ($4) with drinks. The slightly salty, crispy offering married well with the creamy homemade dip that never saw the inside of a Lipton’s envelope. The bartender said a bit of veal stock was added to the delicious

mix. He brought us homemade soft pretzel rolls with mustard. The texture was on point — somewhere between bagel dough and a classic soft pretzel. House cured sardines ($9) were set atop toasted sourdough and mingled with a tapenade-like concoction of olives, pine nuts, strands of roasted red peppers, minced parsley and olive oil. The dish had a nice combination of flavors and textures. Potato pancakes with smoked salmon is a classic starter. This version ($12) consisted of finely-shredded potatoes formed into a large, flat cake and fried to a golden brown. It was topped with tiny cubes of house smoked salmon, dots of horseradish cream and bits of sweet apple. I see a dish in the making here. The pancake was cold and difficult to cut. Finally, I cut it into wedges and picked it up with my hands. It would have fared better moist and hot. For our entrées, we decided on breast of duck ($23) and pork belly ($19). I received a large, thick slice of duck that sat upon a pool of coffee sauce and carrot puree. A scoop of homemade sauerkraut with caraway seeds was included. My entire dinner was cold. Coffee is a strong ingredient and should be used wisely, but I found it overpowered the tender duck. Pork and apples is a perfect culinary match. If pork belly isn’t braised long enough, it can be tough and chewy. This one melted in my mouth. It was braised in ham consommé, which was included in the entrée. Little dumplings, spaetzle’s first cousin, were floating in the tasty broth, along with some pea shoots and radish and apple salad. Like the duck, this entrée could have been hotter.

A bit of crunch was needed with our dinner, so we ordered asparagus with herbs in roasted garlic custard ($7). The custard was placed in a small baking dish and topped with green asparagus that were cut into halfinch pieces. They were placed on the custard, topped with chopped herbs and some grated cheese. Perhaps because the vegetables were crammed into a small dish, nothing heated evenly and the custard separated into small pieces rather than a silky creamy blanket. One beer is on tap, so we shared a pint size mug of Pilsner Urquel ($6) which imparted a fresh, clean flavor. Neither Edward nor I cared for the black mission fig shoofly pie ($8) that was burst on top. I did like the flavor and texture of the figs and the homemade vanilla ice cream that came with the dessert. When we re(continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

Vegan Commissary’s Biscuits in Gravy

Chef Damian Patterson Jr.

Vegan Commissary Owner: Steve Laurence Opened: January 2014 1703 S. 11th St. 215-964-3232 vegancommissary.com

any chefs shut their ears to inquiries on exploring various cuisines, but 26-yearold Damian Patterson Jr. retains the same loyalty to novelty he possessed as a high schooler. Since its winter opening, he has assisted the ascent of the Vegan Commissary, 1703 S. 11th St., through his flexible mindset. “I have worked with specific types of cuisines and find myself drawn to these now,” the Sixthand-Dickinson-streets resident said of the East Passyunk Crossing’s vegan/vegetarian dishes. Patterson developed his devotion at The Restaurant School and has heightened his competence at locations like Green Eggs Cafe, 1306 Dickinson St., where he learned to make the centerpiece of his Biscuits in Gravy. As the first dish he called his own at the commissary, the weekend brunch item reflects his passion for proffering comforting items. “With this type of operation, my attraction is the restrictions,”

the site’s chef since March said of tempting taste buds minus animal products. “I love collaborating to get great items on the menu and appreciate input from my peers and the diners.” The Biscuits in Gravy often sells out, with Patterson adding sautéed spinach, fresh peas, chive and home fries or roasted potatoes for a delectable date with flavor. Also fond of creating artisanal nut cheeses, he is a poster person for openmindedness. “I like to switch up,” Patterson said of what will delight the masses. “This place gives me an even greater chance to do just that.”

IngredIents: 2 quarts of soy milk 8 tablespoons of lemon juice For the biscuits: 5 cups of all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons of baking powder 1 tablespoon of baking soda 1/2 cup of chopped parsley

1 cup of chilled Earth Balance butter 1 cup of all-purpose flour 1/2 cup of canola oil 1 cup of chopped mushrooms 1 small white onion, diced 1 cup of tempeh, chopped fine (preferably smoked) and fried in oil in a pan 2 quarts of mushroom stock 2 ounces of Bragg’s amino acid 2 tablespoons of dried green bell pepper 1 tablespoon of garlic powder Salt and pepper, to taste

tiny bits. Slowly pour the buttermilk in until all comes together. Cut the biscuits into 2-inch rounds, and place them on a baking sheet, grouped together, in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Brush the biscuit tops halfway through the cooking process to achieve a nice brush top. For mushroom gravy: Sweat the onions and mushrooms with the tempeh in another pan while making the roux. Deglaze with the amino acid. After dIrectIons: the roux comes together, add the mushroom stock to thicken. For buttermilk: When the gravy has thickened, Let mixed ingredients sit for at add the mixture with the remainleast 20 minutes ing seasonings. Bring to lowboil.

ODD man in A Queen Village resident is celebrating the fifth year of a uniquely titled race. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing editoR

Maturing in ardMore and Charlestown Township, Ewald has always possessed a fervent attraction to nature and has addressed its allure as a runner since attending law school at The College of William & Mary. “I never grow bored with it,” he said of maintaining a schedule involving as many as three weekday workouts and long Saturday

tests. “It brings my stress level down, keeps me in shape and puts me in contact with some great people.” Having gained an introduction to the legal world through a Chester County District Attorney’s Office-situated internship,

Carl Ewald will accompany 3,500 runners in Sunday’s ODDyssey Half Marathon. Photo by Rob To r n e y

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php he has acquired admiration as a representative for individuals interacting with small government entities and loves having a recreational refuge in giving his life balance. “I believe there are so many benefits to finding different ways to improve ourselves,” Ewald, who has sought such means in Philadelphia for the last decade, with Queen Village having the honor for him and his wife, Julie, since last year, said. “I’m thankful this has been so fruitful because aside from the health benefits, it’s just great to be among passionate people.” Though he had never envisioned becoming a beacon through ODDyssey, which draws figures from numerous states and a handful of foreign lands, the diligent altruist loves helping to hone positive mindsets. The race certainly emphasizes engendering regard among adults and strives to strengthen youths as well with its connection to Students Run Philly Style. “We had a relationship with the organization before ODDyssey began, so it just seemed natural to want to continue to help,” Ewald said of the program that trains students, including enrollees at The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., for marathons. “It’s great to raise money for their efforts, as there is a transformative nature to their participation. If they can conquer runs, just think about how intensely they will be able to put their minds to different, more life-affirming goals.” Having covered courses in locations such as Alaska and Dublin, Ewald enjoys situating himself among other local lovers of his prized pastime and will continue to be an adamant advocate for challenging one’s might and respecting others’ fight. “I’m very proud of our identity,” he said of the sold-out ODDyssey, which will open registration for next year’s race on Nov. 1. “Our focus is on the runners, and every year, we’re eager to reward them for their example.” SPR Visit oddysseyhalfmarathon.com.

is time as an attorney gives Carl Ewald plenty of interior occasions in which to excel, but he deems the outdoors an equally outstanding setting for thriving. The Queen Village dweller will welcome the latter option Sunday, as he will mark his fifth year of overseeing the ODDyssey Half Marathon. “If you had asked me some time ago if I thought I’d end up being a race director, I’d have said ‘No,’” the 38-year-old said of his brainchild. “It’s been thrilling, though, to build a sort of supplemental career out of pursuing this passion.” That fancy will find him and 3,500 fellow focused fanatics sampling the beauty of Fairmount Park, enhancing their health and intensifying their camaraderie. Ewald finds the third aspect particularly appealing, as a desire to keep devotees of their discipline supportive of one another and fresh throughout the year inspired the event’s creation. “I definitely wanted to shorten the lull,” he said, citing a lack of large opportunities between May’s Broad Street Run and November’s Philadelphia Marathon. “People would finish Broad Street and become excited for more, so I figured someone should create a spring half marathon for Philly.” He and his colleagues from TerraMar Adventures, a “premier broker of expeditions” that he founded and serves as president and chief executive officer of, appointed themselves the pioneers of the plan and debuted their mental project for physical gain in 2010. Gradual growth has taken registration from 800 to the afore-

mentioned tally and has attracted renown for its “by runners, for runners” mentality, including garnering placement on bestroadraces. com’s top 100-list last year. “We began at a time when running really took off as a sport, especially for women,” Ewald said. “With increased participation comes a bump in credibility, for sure, but we’re just looking to give everyone amazing experiences.” The organizers have orchestrated such memorable moments by complementing traditional race components with novel facets that give the day its pun-present name. Bands will perform along the course, which commences and concludes at Memorial Hall and features chances to cherish views of mansions, ball fields and the Schuylkill River, a costume contest, masseuses offering post-excursion aid and medals with beer bottle openers built into them. “We’re always asking how what we do will impact the runners’ sense of enjoyment,” the mastermind said. “As we embark on our fifth journey together, I’d like to think we’re becoming even more aware of what it takes to show unity and support.”

NoveNa to our Lady of Lourdes

O Ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comforter of the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, from whence you dispense your favors; and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your material intercession. Obtain, O Loving Mother the granting of my requests. Through gratitude for favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues that I may one day share your glory. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Amen. Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. D. C.
