n Spending the day on the beach or in the Atlantic Ocean often stirs up the appetite. The toughest decision may be where and what to try first. See page 21.

Pennsport and Whitman are about to get a bowling alley, mini-golf course and brewery. n By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

n A hockey player with local ties became Tampa Bay’s first-round selection. See page 39.

f people have any doubt that South Philadelphia is growing and booming, they need only count the construction fences. The projects keep coming south of South Street and in varied forms. The Pennsport and Whitman neighborhoods are starting to see their share of fences go up, too, with construction in full swing on Oregon Avenue for what will be a South Philly outpost of Oron Daskal’s North Bowl. Steps from Tony Luke’s, 39 E. Oregon Ave.,

Daskal is poised to open a bigger, better and newer version of his successful Northern Liberties bowling alley, as he reports, “we’re reaching the finishing stages for sure.” He won’t exactly be replicating the alley, arcade, bar and restaurant model he’s been perfecting. He plans on tweaking it for 2014 and for Whitman. “We’ve been through it and we’re ready to do it again,” he said. “We’ll find our niche and we’ll find what the people want and need – we’re excited to be down there.” The 27,000-square-foot building at 19 E. Oregon Ave. was once a tomato-packing plant, but

Patriotic gesture

before the summer is over will open its doors with 26 lanes, two bars, a full kitchen with an emphasis on wood-fired pizza, arcade games and many TVs to watch sports on while one bowls. “Working with Whitman [Council] has been great,” he noted, saying it’s been nice “to be embraced with open arms.” Daskal seems happy to be in on South Philly’s boom and primarily with the best intentions. “We’re committed to living in the city and seeing this city grow,” Daskal, a resident of Northern See UNDER CONTRUCTION page 10 >>

Hitting the high note To the Editor: Kudos to the Wawa Foundation and the music students at Andrew Jackson School for the recent award of $2,500 in support of their music program (“Welcoming donation,” June 26). Giving back to the community may be a tradition for Wawa, but generosity and outreach seem to be the modus operandi of the whole Jackson School community, including principal, Mrs. [Lisa] Ciaranca-Kaplan, music director Mr. [Chris] Agerakis, faculty, parents and, above all, the students who continue to display their passion for learning and giving. I want to acknowledge one particular member of the band “Home” who has been a regular contributor to liturgical music at my parish, Annunciation B.V.M. at 10th and Wharton streets. She is Ana Luisa Canchola Elias, who just graduated with honors from Jackson and will be attending Girard Academic Music Program in the fall. Ana

accompanies our adult choir with her voice and guitar at the 11 a.m. Mass every Sunday. She also adds her guitar music frequently to the 9 a.m. Spanish Mass. Certainly, this young lady typifies the best of the dedicated music students at Jackson School. May she enjoy continued success in her music career. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia

Civil response To the Editor: In response to Debbie Russino’s letter (“The end of innocence,” June 26), “our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyran-

nize their teachers.” Sounds like a present day quote, does it not? It is actually from Greek philosopher Socrates. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Only the youth that do bad things make the news. Those that make the news represent only a very small percent of the youth today. Our present day youth are no worse or better than those down through the ages. Sort of like popular music. The only good music was the music of our own youth. All that [came] before or [comes] after is just noise. What is really upsetting about Russino’s views are her proposed remedies. She wants us to totally abandon our legal system. An awful lot of people over the years have given their lives or spent the rest of theirs maimed so we can have a legal system that presumes innocence until proof of guilt. Our country was founded because people were trying to escape the system Russino wants to put in place. She also seems to think the death penalty is a crime deterrent even though studies have shown this not to be the case. Look at Texas. I think we can safely say that

South PhillyReview were she or a member of her family were ever charged with a crime, she would want all these safeguards that she wants discarded in place. Remember, the definition of a “liberal” is a conservative under indictment. She seems to think being civilized is a sign of weakness. Being civilized means we realize that problems do not necessarily have simple answers. There are many reasons people exhibit anti-social behavior, and we should look around us, and also in the mirror, for solutions.

City worker arrested A South-of-South resident stands to lose her Philadelphia Police Department job. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

n June 26, the Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey announced he has suspended Kathy Pugh, of the 1000 block of South 18th Street, from her Reports Control Unit position for 30 days. Her dismissal will likely follow the abeyance. Authorities detained the 52-year-old at 1 p.m. June 22 after observing a fight on the 2500 block of South American Street. They contend the 27-year Philadelphia Police Department veteran had attempted to assault a 38-year-old female, leading the Internal Affairs Unit to Kathy Pugh launch an investigation. The District Attorney’s Office then approved the charges of criminal conspiracy, aggravated and simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. She posted her $7,500 bail June 23 and awaits a July 8 preliminary hearing.

Leaving for good Police arrested a man after his alleged threat of violence in Point Breeze. At 5 p.m. June 25, authorities, handling an aggravated assault call, met the complainant and a witness on the 1600 block of South 21st Street and learned the aforementioned male and another man had come to the location and demanded they leave, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When speaking with the interlopers, the victim noticed a gun in the waistband of the second figure, who spit in his face, grabbed his throat and squeezed his neck as the first individual supposedly shouted “Kill him.” The witness fled the site to call law enforcement agents, with the intruders quickly following, Tolliver said. Moments later, the older adult reportedly returned to the residence, where authorities arrested him. They charged 83-year-old Joseph Middleton, of the same block, with assault, criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, making terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person. Court records listed his bond as unsecure, and he awaits a July 10 preliminary hearing. The complainant described

the other man as black and in his 30s; having a medium brown complexion and a thin build; being clean-shaven; wearing a tan T-shirt and blue jeans; carrying a firearm; and possibly being named “Vince.” To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Domestic squabble Police arrested a Point Breeze woman for allegedly assaulting her husband. Responding to a 12:52 a.m. radio call of a person screaming, authorities arrived at a home on the 1900 block of Wharton Street June 24 and, looking through a front window after receiving no response to knocks, noticed the residence in disarray, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Also observing a blood-stained pillow strewn on the floor, a broken picture frame and blood on the railing leading to the second floor, they forced their way inside. The complainant came out of the kitchen, with blood emanating from his head and deep scratches on his neck. He divulged he ignored their knocks because he wanted to keep his wife out of trouble, Tolliver said. After police inquired about her, the victim yelled for his partner to come downstairs, where police arrested 30-year-old Antoinette Johnson after his positive identification. He received transport to Pennsylvania Hospital, where he received eight staples to close his head injury. Johnson, who posted her $5,000 bail the same day, was charged with assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person. She awaits a July 8 preliminary hearing.

Cheesy choice Police busted a North Philly man for his supposed robbery of a Whitman eatery. Responding to a 9:42 p.m. call of an incident at Pizza Hut, 2715 S. Front St., June 26, authorities observed a black male running from the site and heading eastbound on Oregon Avenue toward Front Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They stopped him at 36 Oregon Ave. and arrested him after the complainants positively identified him. Workers at the establishment, they said the detained figure had entered the store and produced a small handgun to demand money. They contend he reached over the

POLICE REPORt counter and took cash from the register before his flight. Police located a loaded gun and $400 on 35-year-old Willie Robinson and charged him with assault, recklessly endangering another person, firearms violations and theft.

Leaky plot

Shooting for the bars Police detained a Grays Ferry resident for his alleged involvement in a spring shooting. On June 19, authorities, making use of an arrest warrant, busted Vincent Jackson, of the 3100 block of Wharton Street, in connection with a March 31 incident in Northeast Philly. In that matter, police arrived at the Vincent Jackson Roosevelt Motor Inn

at 12:28 a.m. and learned a worker had heard gunshots coming from a hallway. Following the blasts, an unknown black male ran past the front desk armed with a handgun and fled through the parking lot. Surveillance footage depicted black males shooting at one another as they ran through the hallways. Minus any complainants, City Wide Vice and Northeast Detective Division conducted an investigation that yielded an anonymous witness. Through their efforts, the law enforcement agents contend Jackson had been operating a prostitution ring and had been at the inn for business when 19-year-old Northeast inhabitant Adonis Fountain, with whom he had an earlier dispute, entered the location and triggered the confrontation. Authorities charged both with assault. Jackson had not posted his $1 million bail as of press time and awaits a July Adonis Fountain 21 status hearing.

debt? Surveillance video

Two impostors made off with a radio after conning their way into an East Passyunk Crossing woman’s home. At 4:05 p.m. June 18, the complainant answered a knock on her 1900-block-ofSouth-10th-Street residence and encountered a man wearing a white hard hat, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He inquired about checking her abode because of a gas leak and convinced her to go to the basement with him to turn on the faucets. While there, she heard footsteps upstairs and pushed past the male, who had been trying to keep her unaware of the presence of his peer. Observing another man in her living room, she inquired about his identity and heard from the first that he was his employer. She picked up the phone, Tolliver said, with the first asking whom she intended to call. When she stated she was having a heart attack, the males ran out, last observed westbound on Mifflin Street. The complainant reported items moved and a Weathermate radio missing. She described the primary figure as Spanish or Mexican, in his late 20s, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7 and 145 pounds; having a dark complexion; and wearing a white hard hat, a black and white checkered shirt, black pants and similarly colored shoes and leather gloves. The second was also Spanish or Mexican, in his mid 40s, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 and 275 pounds; having a dark complexion; and wearing a black baseball hat, T-shirt, shorts, socks, shoes and leather gloves.

Patriotic gesture A longtime dance teacher at a Hawthorne based high school is being honored at tomorrow’s Wawa Welcome America Independence Day Parade. n By Grace Maiorano Review Intern

he dance studio walls of the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., do not confine LaDeva Davis’ versatile experience. From choreography to cuisine, Grammys to groove, movement to movies and tap dance to teaching, she defies the “triple threat” title, proving the boundless possibilities a single person can achieve. As an esteemed essence of Philadelphia public school education, Davis has been selected to represent the parade’s Excellence in Teaching, which is a commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court Case, Brown vs. The Board of Education. This year’s Wawa Welcome America Independence Day Parade is a testimony to her spectrum of talent, celebrating her marvel with an entire

float, “Lights, Camera, Action,” filled with CAPA students and alumni, who have had the honor of experiencing Davis’ pedagogical enlightenment. “Having taught for so long, I have a plethora of students, from college graduates in the professional world to students being admitted in September; there will be much diversity on the float,” she said of tomorrow’s festivities (See page 18 for more details). The legendary educator has been bestowing Philadelphia-based students with her wisdom through music and dance for nearly five decades. In 1965, Davis started her career teaching music at Bartlett Junior High School, now The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., where she remained for 12 years. In 1978, Davis was appointed to the newly established public high school — CAPA — where she laid the foundation for the dance curriculum. The department chair continues to provide instruction at the Hawthorne-based school impelling the value of the performing arts, regardless of the school district’s recent budget cuts. She fervently believes her creative students, as well as all creative students, are paramount in the generating of society’s prospective art. Davis acts as a conservator of future art with her incessant teaching, and her dancing detonates any barriers constructed by financial burdens. “Why have the Academy of Music, the Kimmel [Center] … the Art Museum, the Barnes, the Louvre …why have any of these places if you’re not going to continue

Rallying in Harrisburg

he School District of Philadelphia budget is such a hot topic these days that 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson joined local residents on last week’s bus ride to Harrisburg where they spoke up about the legal and moral obligation to fully fund an education system that provides a quality learning experience for children throughout the Commonwealth.

to breed the people that are going to put more visual art, music, dance, and creative writing out there?” she said. Davis’ insightful teaching is corroborated by her copious years of experience. Although she has trained at prestigious dance institutions like Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and Dance Theatre of Harlem, she does not omit the instruction she received as a 6-year-old at the local Sydney King School of Dance. Davis attributes these primary years to the fundamentals of her decades-long dance journey, which has enabled her to evolve as an artist through her youth at Philadelphia Dance Academy, a precursor to the University of the Arts, and Judimar School of Dance, eventually easing into her professional performing and teaching career. “I can’t poo-poo my early training because that was where I got my start. That was where I learned to stand in first position with the turnout from the hips, not the knees,” she said. “Had I not been taught that as a young child … as a dancer at 70, I probably would be crippled by now.” Davis’ commingled skills of dance, acting and music have redefined the meaning of performance. As a dancer, she’s graced the stages of institutions like the American Music Theater and the Media Theatre for the Performing Arts. She has performed alongside such entertainers as Billy Dee Williams, Josephine Baker, Rich Little, Natalie Cole, Jimmy Walker and the Temptations. Her acting credits include appearances in “The Cotton Club” and “Brewster’s

Millions.” Davis, who earned a Bachelor of Music Education Degree from the Philadelphia Musical Academy, was nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award with Ira Tucker Jr. for the producing of gospel album, “Still Keeping Real, Last Man Standing” by the Dixie Hummingbirds. The Levittown resident has a medley of fortes that even surpasses performance art; she has mastered the culinary arts, too. From 1975 to ’76, she hosted a nationally syndicated TV show called “What’s Cooking?,” which appeared on WHYY-TV. In November 2012, the Smithsonian InstituteThe National Museum of American History inducted her into the “Transforming the American Table: 1950-2000”as the first African American woman to host a nationally syndicated public television cooking show. Of all the dance styles she practices, Davis’ heart belongs to tap. “If I put on my tap shoes, I could tap dance all day long,” she proclaimed. And of all the experiences she has triumphed, it seems her heart belongs to teaching. As she glides down the streets of Historic Philadelphia on July Fourth, surrounded by her beloved former and current students, Davis will be celebrated; not only for her diverse accomplishments, but for her nearly half-century commitment to broadening young minds through the performing arts. “You’re never too old too learn, honey,” she said. “You’re never too old.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

Whitman welcomes All Season Entertainment’s newest birthday party destination above its successful Fright Factory. S ta f f P h o t o s B y B i l l C h e n e v e r t

UNDER CONSTRUCTION continued from page 1 Liberties, near his first baby bowling alley, said. “It just seems like people’s heads are in the right place right now in terms of all sorts of development,” he added and said he doesn’t want to see everybody building upwards but working on improving neighborhoods with experiences. With all the pier improvements from the Delaware River Waterfront Corp. (including the popular Spruce Street Harbor pop-up park), it seems like businesses and families might be heading east. Just north of Daskal’s sports-plex is another business on the up, 2300 Arena, 2300 S. Swanson St., the former ECW Arena and Viking Hall, which has been hosting fights and wrestling and is in possession of a liquor license. Whispers of big bar buildout have been drifting up to Adventurer’s MiniGolf, 38 E. Jackson St. A mélange of industrial and retail spaces, the home to Fright Factory sits beside JoMar Textiles Inc., 22 E. Jackson St. Robert Dudzieck, a partner at All Season’s Entertainment, which produces the popular fall haunted house destination, wanted to use their space to create a year-round destination and as early as next week will be in business with a black-lit mini-golf course,

arcade and birthday party space. “Just by working in that area for a while there’s nothing for kids — there’s nowhere for kids to go,” Dudzieck said. “It was a pretty depressed area with fields of trash, and we see it growing,” he added, and hopes his 4,800-square foot mini-golf course will continue to improve the neighborhood. All SeASon’S hAS been helping the South Philly Vikings for years now with sets, mechanical assistance and backdrops. The mini-golf course it has built is an original concept with hand-painted characters. “It’s not fun if you’re not doing it yourself. Everything’s in-house,” Dudzieck boasted, describing the three cartoon characters they’ve created to anchor the narrative. “One’s the nerdy smart girl and the boy who always gets into trouble, [and] as you’re playing you’re going through Egypt and then into the arctic and then into the jungles.” He saw a need for reasonably-priced birthday party spaces and plans to satisfy it with 60- and 40-seat party rooms that, eventually, will be able to connect and host bigger parties like charity and corporate events. Something Daskal intends, as well. “People are tired of Chuck E. Cheese,” n Fumo Family Branch: Civics Course 2 to 5 p.m. July 3 and 8; Sleepy-time Stories 10 a.m. and LEGO Club 2-3:30 p.m. July 5; Science in the Summer: Physics: Simple Machines 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. July 9. 2437 S.

he quips of the corporate chain just up the street at 9 Snyder Ave., adding that he’d heard of folks paying $1,000 for birthday parties for 20 kids at the Please Touch Museum in Fairmount Park. While Dudzieck and his team put the finishing touches on their party spaces, Sean Mellody was presenting his intentions for an impending development at 1800 E. Moyamensing Ave. His Mellody Brewing is the first of a handful of potential businesses that may be finding a home in an empty Pennsport warehouse. Mellody, a resident of Third and Carpenter streets, said he’s had his eye on this property for more than a year and presented his case at a Zoning Board meeting last week to mixed but primarily positive responses. The Queen Village inhabitant plans on boosting Pennsport’s positive developments, saying his brew business will be “tying in [Jefferson Square] park and all the development that’s going on – exciting things are happening on that stretch and to have an opportunity to be in on that is exciting as well.” His business will not be a bar; it’s a brewery that will fill growlers and wholesale beer to businesses in the city. “I got the feeling when I left the meeting that the zoning board will be in full sup-

port, and we’ll make sure to keep the dialogue open,” he reported. Of course, most concerns from the neighborhood were about parking. But Mellody’s hoping that the business that will join him at the address will be, like his, daytime businesses that won’t affect folks coming home from work and trying to find a parking spot. The end of July will be the final zoning board meeting, and construction wouldn’t start until fall. Though Philadelphia is a rich terrain for beer-lovers, there are only three other breweries in city limits: Yards Brewery in Northern Liberties, Pennsylvania Brewing Co. and the brand new St. Benjamin Brewing Co. that opened in May, both in Kensington. He’s had interest from Mummers, neighbors looking for work and new culinary opportunities and the Second Street Irish Society, 1937 S. Third St. It doesn’t seem like parking concerns will be enough to thwart his determination. “It just may take a little bit of wrangling,” Mellody admitted. “I’ve been trying to do this for a very long time, and I’m sticking with it – I can’t see it not working out.” SPR

A Marconi East actress and costumer is honoring the nation as it nears another birthday. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

perpetual pursuer of the figurative spotlight, Virginia Loomis has devoted the last 15 years to hailing an era when the literal version did not exist. Thrilled to thrill all ages about American history no matter the calendar’s contents, the Marconi West dweller especially desires to delight crowds this time of year and will spend the holiday weekend detailing the past and contemplating the future as a Historic Philadelphia History Maker. “One of our major goals is to make the Revolutionary War pertinent and important,” the gregarious employee said last week from the Old City-situated Historic Philadelphia Center, where, clad in period-specific garb, she helmed the Step Back in History wardrobe station. “Nobody can underestimate Philadelphia’s role in our nation’s history, and with Independence Day upon us, everything becomes more significant.” Along with giving guests thread-based appreciation for 18th-century life, Loomis is fomenting their fun as a first-person interpreter relying on “historic improvisation” mastery. Having created a character upon her hiring, she has used the last decade to portray, among others, Benjamin Franklin’s bride Deborah Read and Molly Pitcher. No matter the assignment, she has fused her acting and costuming passions, which have become 45-year obsessions, to help visitors to understand the fruits of America’s early struggles and their possible contributions to the country’s saga. “People are searching for their own truth and are determining what history means to them,” Loomis said of being a benefactor for their probing natures. “It’s great to help them to understand how they fit in with the narrative and even add to it.” Prior to securing a position with Historic Philadelphia, Inc., whose Independence Day offerings commenced June 28 and will conclude Tuesday, the reliable raconteur lacked an immense interest in the 18th-century’s annals, but she has become a perennial ponderer of their influence. With tour tasks that have enlightened students and individuals interested in the city’s 1793 yellow fever epidemic, Loomis has enjoyed preserving deserving facts and figures and has called upon an “extremely resourceful” skill set to fashion many History Makers’ costumes. While she derives delight from her Step Back in History duties, she continues to consider ventures to the Independence Na-

Tomorrow’s holiday and the subsequent days will again find the space proving a siren to Loomis, who has grown as respectful of our nation’s infancy as any commended chronicler or scholar. “The accounts matter all the time, not just during what we could call the ‘high holiday season’ from Memorial Day through Labor Day,” she said. “I dare to say Philadelphians can often forget what the city has done for our lifeblood. Everything is always waiting for us to discover it or reaffirm its meaning in our identity.” The NorTh CaroliNa native gained an immediate sense of the costs and rewards of the nation’s formation from her father, whose presence within the United States Marine Corps prompted her clan’s late 1960’s move to South Philly. Blessed to have such comprehension of widespread freedom, she sought artistic autonomy as a youth after abandoning visions of basketball-based distinction. “I definitely had an interest in being in the spotlight,” Loomis said of her attitude toward creative aptitude. “The fun came from trying to determine where I would

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

find it and what I would do with it if I proved fortunate enough to get a shot.” As a 17-year-old registrant at St. Maria Goretti High School, now Ss. NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., she made her professional debut in the Society Hill Playhouse-situated production of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Skin of Our Teeth,” an opportunity that convinced her that she possessed “some talent.” She furthered her focus by majoring in drama and minoring in art at Temple University and with her heart set on New York, she made her way to the Empire State, through which she acquired membership in the Actors’ Equity Association. “No matter where I’ve been, I’ve always tried to be positive about the work and thankful for the opportunity,” Loomis said. “After all, nobody has to give you a job simply because you want one, so it’s been an interesting journey.” Along her odyssey, the actress has tallied numerous Philadelphia theater credits, garnered kudos through Comic Relief and become an in-demand creator through her prop company, Out of Thin Air. She has also logged time as a manager at The Legendary Dobbs, 304 South St., a conflict resolution instructor for the Philadelphia Parks

The onward-and-upward thinker, who also had the honor of being one of 10 singers to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Eakins Oval-located Bicentennial celebration, loves that her opportunities figure to find her exploring even more aspects of the past, which will always prove paramount to her. The fall will see her assisting at the Dickens Village and could yield involvement in the new Colonial For a Day program through which children or families can don themselves in the attire that she has come to adore making, modeling and marking as vital to understanding the country’s evolution. “This is definitely in my blood,” Loomis said of her patriotism, noting that she and her husband, John, with whom she just celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary, even have two cats born on Independence Day. “I want to help others to feel as enthused as me because it’s really a rich era for exploring history. Plus, it’s fun to dress up.” SPR

bill passed by City Council to decriminalize possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey insists he’s going to enforce the pot laws anyway. Apparently in Philadelphia, the police do such a great job of catching violent criminals that if they didn’t enforce the marijuana laws on the books, they simply would have nothing to do. And I know you’re not going to believe this, but leave it to Mayor Michael Nutter to find a way to disagree with Kenney, even on the decriminalization of marijuana. The mayor is concerned that enforcement of the law would place too much pressure on city police. According to Nutter, how can the cops determine if the amount of pot found on a person is less than an ounce? Here’s an idea — my wife has a cup that she uses for measuring the ingredients in her pizzelle batter. You can probably buy measuring cups at Fante’s on Ninth Street and save many otherwise innocent young adults from getting a criminal record. I think July Fourth is a good time for the pro football Washington team to stop using “Redskins” as its team name. I realize there’s a bunch of folks out there who think Washington is the more offensive part of the team’s name than Redskins. Our Native Americans are a proud people, and I for one can understand their anger at being wrongly associated with Washington owner Daniel Snyder. Snyder’s wretched team is more odiferous than a toxic waste dump. He hates the media so much that he placed the visiting team’s broadcast booth near a restroom where it is practically impossible to call the game. Visiting announcers usually make up entire plays because they can’t see the field, but they almost always guess right on the score when they say, “Redskins lose.” Snyder donated 3,000 winter coats to a Sioux tribe in an effort to show his abiding concern for Native Americans. Maybe he can change the name of his team to the Washington North Face. Dick Cheney is making the rounds of the news shows again. You can recognize Cheney — he’s the one who looks a lot like Dracula without the winning smile. Cheney was wrong on just about everything concerning the Iraq War, but he thinks we ought to listen to him now based on the law of averages, or, as my mother used to say, even a blind squirrel can find an acorn. Cheney’s apologists won’t let go of his miscalculation concerning the missing weapons of mass destruction. A Cheney fan points out that the missing item was there all along, just in neighboring Syria. So, Cheney wasn’t wrong about the WMD, he just invaded the wrong country! I feel better about him already. Would you pass me one of those burnt hot dogs, please. Yes, thank you. Could I have a little aloe with it instead of relish and mustard?

Dan (Mark Ruffalo) and Greta (Keira Knightley) plan to defy conventional music making in John Carney’s sixth film.

Why ‘Begin Again’? n By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

here’s a lot to be drawn from the title of “Begin Again.” To start with, it serves as a constant, unwitting reminder that director John Carney (“Once”) should have gone back to the drawing board while making this wonky musical. Secondly, that the title is the safe alternative The Weinstein Co. settled on after ditching the more intriguing “Can a Song Save Your Life?” speaks to the movie’s hypocritical aura of artistic compromise. Dan (Mark Ruffalo) is a boozy yet pureminded music exec who’s axed from the company he co-founded when he refuses to grow (or perhaps devolve) with today’s pop music climate. Greta (Keira Knightley) is a singer/songwriter who isn’t looking for fame, especially after her rock star ex (Adam Levine) proves that the “sweet life” can sour a great many things. When Dan and Greta find each other, they opt to make a guerilla album in the New York streets, with no budget and MacGyveresque equipment, in the ultimate act of corporate subversion. Imagine how vexing it is, then, to find that “Begin Again” is itself no more than a baseline cheese-fest, which revels in banalities even as its characters literally bemoan them aloud. Watching Dan and Greta “buck the system” while housed within a movie so obviously system-orchestrated is like watching a kid with his hand in the cookie jar as he preaches the dangers of sugar. Sure, there are times when insights about the power of music in film ring true in their own meta way, but it’s minor consolation. What’s more, “Begin Again” requires an

epic suspension of disbelief, whether in regard to the trivial fact that no cellphone would allow a voicemail message to run the length of an entire song, or in reference to the notion that Knightley, sweet as her (actual singing) voice may be, is hardly sporting the sort of pipes that would have a guy like Dan seeing stars. Actually, if we’re being accurate, it has Dan seeing instruments come to life, envisioning them magically playing along with Greta. All that’s missing in the puerile spectacle are the Disney mice.

If you loved “Before Midnight,” don’t miss this beautifully bittersweet tale that follows in the same vein as the Julie Delpy-Ethan Hawke romance. British treasures Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan play an aging couple who return to Paris for vacation, years after spending their honeymoon there. Tensions flare, secrets surface and flames are rekindled as the two engage in a wonderfully watchable actorly duet.

o here we are approaching another July Fourth, which you will note is hardly ever called Independence Day anymore (many young folks believe “Independence Day” refers to another movie where Will Smith saves the world). I’m not sure who has saved the world more times, Smith or Tom Cruise, but if I were President Barack Obama I’d make sure both of them were included among those 300 advisers we’re sending to Iraq. I don’t know about you, but I conjure up a certain image when I hear the term “advisors.” Just how does that work? You’re an Iraqi general whose army is in the midst of getting its ass kicked and there’s an American adviser standing by you who keeps saying, “I told you to duck, dammit.” I picture American military advisers much like driving school instructors who caution that you just missed a stop sign. If our advisers are getting shot at, but are really non-combatants, maybe we should just send pacifists. But I digress. About July Fourth. It’s a day where American men take to their grills and burn perfectly good food. If you’re not sure what constitutes the difference between charred and burnt food, here it is — burnt food is what your husband cooks on July Fourth, while charred food is what costs $28 an entree in a restaurant. You have good reason to question my foodie credentials, but I’ll have you know that I occasionally shop in Whole Foods — it’s not every store that has a breakfast cereal named after a character in “Beowulf.” Now that the Pope has excommunicated church members associated with organized crime, I guess my Aunt Millie will have to toss out her statue of St. Tony the Enforcer. Is nothing sacred anymore? If we’re going to limit church participation only to the pure-at-heart, whose going to be left in the church besides those monks that make jellies and jams? My train of thought keeps going off the track. Where was I? Oh, July Fourth! Good Americans are never supposed to tire of fireworks. Frankly, I don’t see the big deal about shooting sparklers into the sky synched to the “Mamma Mia” soundtrack. What scares me is a future where some goofy kids are launching drones in a schoolyard at every adult who ever hollered at them for smoking pot and cursing the nearby neighbors. Speaking of pot, I am squarely behind Councilman-at-Large Jim Kenney and his

35 THINGS YOU MUST EAT

AT THE SHORE OUTSTANDING SUMMER DISHES OF THE MOMENT — plUS SOME IcONIc bOARDwAlk FAvORITES. by frAnk gAbriEl with stephen segal

arciofi ripieni at Café 2825 (Atlantic City) A

whole Sicilian-style artichoke, exquisitely stuffed with a blend of seasoned breadcrumbs, onions and diced hardboiled egg, from one of A.C.’s most respected independent restaurants. The fragrant thistle looks more like an imaginative Christmas ornament than mere food. Unlike many other artichokes, here you can consume the entire construct, as 2825’s unique cooking process ensures the leaves are thoroughly tender.

Trail mix bagels at Hot bagels to go (Margate, Northfield and Atlantic City) Though all their creations — correctly fashioned from hand-rolled, water-boiled bagels — are exemplary, this is one version we’ve not yet encountered elsewhere, loaded with raisins, nuts, dried fruit and a bit of chocolate. When toasted, the extras literally explode with flavor.

Chopped salad at Dining on the fifth floor in the Chelsea Hotel (Atlantic City) Does it sound pedestrian?

Perhaps — but we challenge you to sample this summery bowl of goodness, chock full of romaine, corn, red pepper, onion and haricot verts, and not be thoroughly satisfied. It’s finished with scads of creamy avocado and a timeless classic: herbaceous Green Goddess dressing.

Tuna, chips and cheese sub at Dino’s (Margate) This unusual creation begins with excellent “whipped” tuna salad, containing just enough mayo to serve as an effective binder. Throw in

broken-up pieces of potato chips, sliced cheese — either American or Provolone is available — and you truly have a sandwich that’s more than the sum of its parts. Served, of course, on half a loaf of Atlantic City’s famed Italian “stick” bread.

Patties at Yardy’s Jamaican (Atlantic City) Owner Cyril Lowe and chef Joan Robinson produce honest, soulful Caribbean cuisine portioned liberally. Particularly standing out on their bill of fare — which includes oxtail, >>>

Soups at Ladle of Luv (Ventnor) Owner Denise Falvo’s midblock storefront is like a friendlier version of Seinfeld’s infamous “Soup Nazi.” With rotating seasonal options complementing a regular lineup of chicken noodle, vegan vegetable and minestrone, Falvo typically vends between eight or so hearty broths daily. Started out of her home two and half years ago, Ladle of Luv remains a prototypical family operation; this time of year, look for specialties like tomato basil, white bean with escarole and various chowders on a daily chalkboard.

fine plates to be found in A.C.’s landmark eatery, these might just best represent the gastronomic soul of southern New Jersey. Pure and pristine, molting crustaceans are like consuming the very essence of our local waters. They’re not featured on the regular menu; look for them as a nightly addition to executive chef Jim Huntzinger’s bill of fare during warmer months.

Salt water taffy at Shriver’s (Ocean City) Tourists, be aware: There is no salt water in the taffy. Actually, there’s no salt at all — and not much water, either. What there is is a blend of corn syrup and molasses angelically raised to their loftiest, most delightfully chewy form and pulled into such signature flavors as teaberry, licorice and root beer. You can’t leave O.C. without some.

Red miso-glazed eggplant at Izakaya in the Borgata (Atlantic City) Chef Michael Schulson’s interpretation of one of southern New Jersey’s most indigenous vegetables — actually a member of the nightshade family, like tomatoes — is nothing short of mystifying. He somehow manages to transform this bland, savory bulb into a crunchy, candy-like treat. Vivid shades of dark crimson from the miso make for an appearance as otherworldly as the taste.

BBQ stuffed pizza at Basilico’s (Sea Isle City) One of the southern NJ shore’s most relevant Italian-American restaurants, Basilico’s also features a spectacular, rotating pizza oven imported at great cost from Italy. This unique, double-crusted pie groans heavily with chopped steak, grilled chicken, gorgonzola cheese and tangy BBQ sauce striped topside. Guaranteed to delight your taste buds — and then induce a long, pleasant summer nap.

Guacamole at Dos Caminos in Harrahs (Atlantic City) Prepared and presented to order tableside by savvy staffers, these magical avocado blends are available four ways: traditional; with mango, papaya and habanero; jumbo lump crab and chipotle; or the latest option: bacon, chicharron and pickled jalapeno.

Croquettes at The Iron Room (Atlantic City) A critical darling, The Iron Room, which opened in 2013, offers a brief menu of eclectic small plates, changing often, paired with the finest spirits and wines. Chef Kevin Cronin’s old-school cheese croquettes are served piping hot and nicely crisped, sided by a honey Dijon dip.

Caramel popcorn at Johnson’s Popcorn (Ocean City, Wildwood) In the years since microwavable kettle corn has become available, some foolish grownups who haven’t been back to the beach lately have convinced themselves it’s all they need. They’re wrong. Johnson’s caramel popcorn is the popcorn dessert that trumps all others — the ideal blend of sweet golden crunch. Eat it on the beach, eat it in the car, eat it at home.

Gotham rib steak at Old Homestead in the Borgata (Atlantic City) This on-the-bone cut has been a signature item for more than a hundred years at Old Homestead’s original New York City location. Thirty-four mouthwatering ounces of prime, aged beef, it should delight any self-respecting carnivore.

Oysters at Dock’s Oyster House (Atlantic City) This seems a no-brainer when the featured foodstuff is part of your family business name, especially since Dock’s has been around since 1897. Ten different varieties from around the country — Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and local Jerseys currently among them — constantly rotate based on availability. And they’re shucked to order by skilled personnel; it doesn’t get much better than this.

Lobster mac and cheese at Steve and Cookie’s (Margate) A brilliant interpretation of a new American classic, this conglomeration of pasta, crustacean and cheese makes for a truly decadent starter. Gracious owner Cookie Till remains the grande dame of Jersey shore dining; keep an eye out for upcoming excitement later this year.

Sushi/sashimi at Tomatoes (Margate) Worldly and sophisticated, Tomatoes, like its neighbor Steve and Cookie’s, helped transform Margate’s “Barbary Coast” — once home to the shore’s rowdiest bars — into a serious dining destination. Husband and wife team Carmen and Karen Rone embraced Japanese cuisine way before it got trendy, and they still vend the very freshest fish and seafood imaginable. Try the Pacific roll, composed of shrimp tempura, crab and avocado with Asian pear and a wasabi avocado crema.

Pickles at Village Whiskey in Revel (Atlantic City) Uber-chef Jose Garces’ fun, upscale tavern grub proffers four pickled products: herb cherry tomatoes; golden beets and jícama; truffled cauliflower; and baby carrots, jalapeño & strawberries. All are accompanied by black olive tapenade, whipped ricotta and toasted sourdough crostini. Donuts at Dot’s Pastry (Ocean City) Neatly tucked away in the City’s south-end 34th Street business district, this tiny shop has been baking since

1947. Specifically, their cream-filled variety is the best donut we’ve ever sampled. Maybe that’s why patrons are patiently queued up here, even at 7:30 on Sunday morning?

Polish Water Ice at TLC’s (Ocean City) Granted, there’s a novelty factor here. Polish water ice? Since when is that a thing? Answer: Well, since 1997, but you pretty much have to come to the Jersey shore to get it. A subtle twist on the water ice brands you’re familiar with, TLC’s Polish Water Ice is made fresh on site, with flavors such as mango and green apple leading the pack. Mmmmm to it fat-free or gelato-style.

Sunday brunch at Nero’s in Caesars (Atlantic City) This venerable space was recently expanded under the direction of veteran local chef Keith Mitchell. His sumptuous Sabbath repast should sate any and all tastes: Whether you’re delighting in omelets, crepes, desserts, custom-cut lamb and beef, snow crabs, shrimp, oysters or sushi, everything comes with a glorious Boardwalk view — and unlimited Bloody Marys.

Deviled clams at Oyster Creek Inn (Leeds Point, Galloway Twp.) An old-school standard done well, from one of few remaining traditional coastal Jersey dining halls. Located waterfront on Great Bay in this northern Atlantic County community (reputedly the Jersey Devil’s town of origin), Oyster Creek is accessible by boat or car. Breezy, casual ambiance matches the marshy environs.

Fudge at Steel’s (Atlantic City, Ocean City) Since 1919, Steel’s has been making some of the greatest fudge known to mankind. Let’s cut right to the heart of matters: You want mint chocolate fudge, and you want peanut butter fudge. You do. It doesn’t hurt, either, that the staff are super friendly and the Boardwalk is probably the best place on earth to eat fudge on a summer day. >>>

BE ACH BO U N D BBQ Pacu Pacu fish ribs at Quahog’s Seafood (Stone Harbor)

>>>

A sort of homage to places like Oyster Creek, Quahog’s was conceived by world-class chef Lucas Manteca and wife/partner Deanna Ebner. These Amazonian fish — a close cousin of piranha — offer plenty of juicy white meat bathed in an orange BBQ sauce, plated with coconut rice.

Pan seared local halibut at Azure in Revel (Atlantic City) Azure’s spectacular surroundings provide a suitable stage for the brilliance and flair of chef Alain Allegretti. His Riviera-inspired cuisine stretches nicely to include regionally sourced stuff like this flatfish, currently paired with asparagus, grilled potato, roasted ramps, tomato confit and ramps fumet. Magnifique!

Szechuan fries at The Continental in The Pier at Caesars (Atlantic City) Thin and shoestringcut, this mountainous pile of fries is our idea of casual, modern shore eats. Proceed with caution; they are accompanied by a truly incendiary Chinese mustard dip that makes wasabi seem as baby-food bland in comparison. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Love boats at Domenico’s (Ventnor) A monochromatic space delivering clever Mediterranean-style Italian specialties, Domenico’s signature app loads pleasantly bitter endive leaves with a sublime mix of corn, crab, black olives and red onion. Lemon vinaigrette and drizzled sweet balsamic complete a picture-perfect plating.

Chilaquiles at El Coyote (Egg Harbor Township) We’ll close with a hush-hush, secret, off-the-menu item from this Tex-Mex gem, in a strip mall at the intersection of Ocean Heights and Zion Road: fresh tortillas cooked soft in zesty green chile sauce, finished with layers of shredded lettuce, sour cream, lime juice and salt. It’s a home-style dish most often consumed in the context of a Latino breakfast. Ask real nice — we think they’ll make you some. n

Mildred’s Peanut Butter Raisin Cookies

or those celebrating Fourth of July with friends and family, the meal is not complete without a sweet ending to a delicious meal. For some, corn on the cob does the trick, but others enjoy topping the night off with some ice cream, water ice or fresh fruit. Mildred Lloyd-Henderson prefers taking the warmer route by baking a fresh batch of her tasty Peanut Butter Raisin Cookies. The resident of the 2400 block of Manton Street is sharing a recipe that makes three dozen treats, meaning there should be more than enough for seconds. However, if the Cookie Monster crashes the holiday festivities, one may have to settle for the fresh watermelon, honeydew or berries. SPR

The Oyster House 1516 Sansom St. 215-567-7683 oysterhousephilly.com When I visited Kennett Restaurant a few years ago, I was taken with its unique menu and tasty food. Tonight, one can take a culinary trip to Morocco and then enjoy a British dessert. I have written that I am tired of bland beet salads that lack imagination. The one at Kennett hits the mark. Ruby red beets are preserved in wine, vinegar and spices, roasted and cooled. They are served with tangy Bulgarian feta and dressed with mint, parsley, dill and chives. The lamb burger is a party in one’s mouth. Seasoned minced lamb is grilled to one’s specification and topped with a cool cucumber slaw laced with smoke paprika and mixed with yogurt, capers, thinly-sliced onion and shredded purple cabbage with a hint of toasted cumin. Like the beet starter, creativity in the kitchen works very well here. Leave room for dessert, especially the sticky toffee pudding. It is prepared with dates, a bit of sherry and caramel and served with rich vanilla ice cream. I enjoy Sunday brunch at Kennett as well. Kennett Restaurant 848 S.

Queen Village-based Beau Monde offers a French alternative to the AllAmerican fare that is traditionally part of the holiday celebrations. Photo by Corey Carter

The Marquis de Lafayette played an important role in the American Revolution. On Bastille Day last year, I tucked into a French dinner at Beau Monde in Queen Village. When it opened in 1997, this romantic spot put authentic French crepes on Philadelphia’s culinary map. For starters, there is French onion soup and a platter of three types of pate with toasted bread, cornichons and mustard. Beau Monde’s seared tuna salad with shrimp and scallops is large enough to share. Fresh mixed greens, lightly dressed, gain a kick from the addition of capers and olives. Build-your-own-savory crepe is another

delicious option. Although beef, chicken and shellfish find their way into the crepe, vegetarians will be most happy with the list of vegetables on order. Sweet crepes for dessert are a hallmark here. A plain version with ice cream and chocolate sauce is tasty, but I think Beau Monde is the only restaurant in town that offers crepes Suzettes.

omorrow, Americans will celebrate the Fourth of July with parades, barbecues and fireworks. For those hosting a party or invited to one, hot dogs, hamburger, chicken, fish and grilled vegetables will take center stage along with classic sides dishes and a red, white and blue flag cake. Like Thanksgiving, it is often celebrated at home. I never cook the night before Thanksgiving and if friends are coming to our home for the Fourth, I go out to dinner on July 3. I have a trio of recommendations. A small group of us are heading to the Oyster House for its Happy Hour. It begins at 5 p.m. but we will get there early to snag seats at its celebrated oyster bar. There is no seafood restaurant to match it. Although there may be nearly a dozen fresh oysters from around the country and Canada on the bill of fare, owner Sam Mink chooses one for his buck-a-shuck. Watch as super shucker Cornell and his comrades open clams and oysters with ease and nestle them on round tin plates piled high with crushed ice. I am a purist and enjoy oysters straight or with a squeeze of lemon with mignonette sauce. It is nothing but finely minced shallots mixed with red wine vinegar. Cherrystone clams are also a buck-a-shuck during Happy Hour. I cannot think of any other restaurant that serves up these meaty and juicy beauties. Cocktail sauce mixed with hot horseradish and a handful of oyster crackers make them taste better. I can down a few dozen oysters and clams and call it dinner. There

Steven Murtha 6.25.62 - 2.12.14

You were taken on angel's wings As you sweetly and quietly slept. And returned to heaven before we knew, That you had even left. I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine.

= 2/19/59 - 5/31/14 = The family of JOEY QUINN would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all of the following people:

Your tooth brush and coffee cup are still there, Missing our nights sitting out back, I could smell you in the air, You left a beautiful legacy and I'm proud of you for that.

• • • • •

I see your smiling eyes, Each morning when I wake, I talk to you, and place a kiss, Upon your lovely face.

•

How much I miss you being here, I really can not say, The ache is so deep inside my heart, And never goes away.

• •

I hear it mentioned often, That time will heal the pain, But if I'm being honest, I know it will remain.

• • • • •

I need to feel you constantly, To get me through the day, I loved you so very much, Why did you go away?

An en-Lightning experience pro A hockey player with local ties became Tampa sports Bay’s first-round selection.

n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

Anthony DeAngelo and Phillies color analyst Matt Stairs had their version of tee time at Citizens Bank Park June 25 during the NHL Draft Prospects Tour. Two days later, DeAngelo became the 19th overall pick. Photo Provided by NHLI/Getty Images

Stanley Cup champion. “If your game revolves around speed, which mine does, I think that’s an advantage, so because of that, I think I’ll fit in very well.” Though he aims to refrain from feeling he will be ready rapidly, DeAngelo confessed he would love to set up captain Steven Stamkos for goals and score a few himself. “I’ve wanted this for so long,” he said of his career’s genesis. “I’ve soaked it all in, and now I’m eager to succeed.” The Sewell-bred figure began playing competitively by age 7 and quickly considered becoming a professional stick wielder. Adoring hockey’s blend of grit and grace, he started off as a forward be-

fore making a shift to his present defenseman duties. “No matter what position I’ve played, I’ve always been about giving my best effort and feeling like I’m prepared to skate against anybody,” DeAngelo said. “Fortunately for me, I’ve had some great chances to build on that thinking.” A lifelong Flyers fan, he suited up for the Little Flyers locally and gained prestige in his home state as a Mercer Chief with the Atlantic Metropolitan Hockey League. Eager to make history for the Lightning, he can already boast of being in the annals of the United States Hockey League, as he debuted for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders at 14, tallying 15 points in 28 games. That success attracted Sar-

nia, which in ’11 added him to its roster. “Lots of guys are talented, so I really had to commit to getting better and better every day,” DeAngelo said of his threeseason stint with the club, which has produced an impressive list of NHL players, including Stamkos and former Flyers Daniel Carcillo and Andy Delmore, a current Sting assistant whom he credits for honing his defensive mentality. “I feel proud to have represented them.” He amassed 58 points during the ’12’13 season, pacing all OHL defensemen in assists with 49. Building on that year’s windfall, the 5-foot-11 individual set career highs for goals, assists and points this past campaign, again topping blueliners in helpers with 56 in only 51 contests. Such statistics brought him even more attention and intensified teams’ interest in his talent. “A fair amount of teams were very serious about me,” he said, noting he had hoped to become a wearer of the Orange and Black. “I’m happy to be heading to Tampa Bay because there’s a great mentality in the front office and among the players.” Having received such acclaim in his brief life, DeAngelo, who also competed for his country in the ’12 Czech Republic- and Slovakia-situated Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, aspires to reward Hall of Fame inductee and Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman for believing in his bounty of benefits as a tireless contributor. “They’ve done very well, so of course I want to keep them among the league’s elite,” DeAngelo said. “I’ve had so much support along the way that I really want to do a good job.” As Tampa Bay and the Flyers are Eastern Conference representatives, DeAngelo will face the Broad Street Bullies often, but he will not become overly anticipatory about battling his boyhood heroes. Instead, he will approach all foes as equally worthy of his preparation. “I want to do whatever to win,” DeAngelo said. “I’ve been at this for too long not to want to be a winner at every level.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

n “Meditation XVII,” English poet John Donne opined “No man is an island.” Thanks to more than 100 relatives and friends, Anthony DeAngelo could count himself a supporter of that notion Friday during the National Hockey League Draft. Returning to the city that has meant so much to him and his kin, the New Jersey product became the Tampa Bay Lightning’s first-round selection at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. “Hearing my name called was definitely a dream come true,” the 18-year-old said Monday of becoming the 19th overall pick. “I had been battling nerves as the draft approached because we never know what could happen when we’re actually there and all the people are done making their predictions, but it was great and I’m eager to be a contributor to the Tampa Bay franchise.” The Garden State native, who has trained at FDR Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, and whose clan can claim Passyunk Square and Packer Park roots, joined the Eastern Conference club’s camp Tuesday after months of prognostications and years of determination. Fully prepared for the rigors of professional play, he plans to place all his trust in his time as a tenacious competitor to enhance his maturation. “The draft is great, but there’s still a ton of work to do, and I have to keep building to make it to the pros,” the young man, who had been a member of the Ontario Hockey League’s Sarnia Sting, said of his crusade. “I’m not going to make any bold predictions, but my plan, for sure, is to play [with the main club] as soon as possible.” To actualize that ambition, DeAngelo knows the next three to four years will prove crucial, and he intends to absorb guidance from his superiors and act as a cheerleader for his contemporaries. The fourth American to go in the draft, he realizes scrutiny will often prove intense but welcomes the pressure, as it will prepare him to strike when helming the Lightning’s blueline. “Tampa Bay has a young, fast team,” he said of the Florida franchise, the 2004

Prospect pilgrimage The National Hockey League Combine, team interviews and constant picking and prying from the media represent the anxiety-filled weeks leading up to the draft. For selections Anthony DeAngelo, Michael Dal Colle, Leon Draisaitl, Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart, June 25 was a welcomed rest from the process as they were treated to a day on the town. The 2014 draft class began its Philly venture at the Museum of Art where the future NHL stars performed a reenactment of one of cinema’s iconic moments, racing up the museum steps and raising their arms in victory like Philadelphia’s favorite character, Rocky Balboa. The next stop for the players was Love Park, with onlookers staring as the group collected photo opportunities. As the tour progressed, the prospects’ famished looks disappeared with a trip to Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St. Comcast-Spectacor Director of Public Relations Rebecca Goodman instructed the young men in the proper manner to order a cheese steak. Hockey’s future stars then gorged on an example of Philadelphia’s fine cuisine. The employees at the Passyunk Square eatery then instructed them in the art of making a cheesesteak. The tour also showed the historical side of Philadelphia through an Old City trip to the Betsy Ross House. The players learned some of the historic background behind the landmark and experienced a look around the old dwelling. Subsequent to a stop at the athletes’ hotel, the impending stars traded their hockey sticks for baseball bats during batting practice at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way. With the last swing, the day of relaxation ended, but the excitement for the future possibilities of these great careers overshadowed the exhaustion of the process.

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